In the early morning of the next day, the group had breakfast in the army, Xue Shao called someone to invite Wei Yuanzhong, and everyone set off to leave Shuozhou together.

The rules of the army are strict, and the guards are not allowed to leave the barracks easily. So Pei Xingjian asked Su Wei to prescribe a paper for them, saying that he was sending these people to Bingzhou to urge grain and grass. Pei Xingjian, the temporary Xing, once again told Xue Shao not to mess with Li Duozuo's affairs, so as not to cause civil strife at this juncture.

In any case, Li Chongyi holds the stomach of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the transfer of logistics grain and grass has to rely on him. Now it's not the best policy to settle accounts with him.

Xue Shao agreed, thinking that I am not such a person who has no overall vision, otherwise, I would have cleaned up Li Xiantong a long time ago and avoided future troubles.

The people of the Three Knife Brigade walked out of Shuozhou, and their mood was quite complicated. There is not only the ease of being busy, but also the happiness and glory of promotion and satisfaction for the rest of the life, and at the same time, there is also some sadness of losing comrades-in-arms and the feeling of vicissitudes.

In just over three months, Xue Shao and these brothers have experienced too many things together, which is like opening a new page in their lives. Most of the guards of the Three Swords Brigade were young men in their early twenties, and when they were first selected, they were all hot-blooded hairy young men. But now, they are all young and old, calm and calm, as if they have been reborn.

Experience is really the best nourishment for a man's growth.

When the group arrived at the small mountain village, they found that some of the aborigines who had fled and left had returned. Although the crisis in Shuozhou has just been resolved, and the villagers have just been almost slaughtered and immediately displaced again, their feelings for their homeland cannot be separated. In addition, Pei Xingjian himself has arrived in Shuozhou, and the matter has spread in Hebei. For these people, Pei Xingjian and the king of the Tang Dynasty are their patron saints, so they dare to come back and rebuild their homes.

When the villagers returned to the village, they were surprised to find that their houses had not been dumped or overgrown with weeds because they were left untended, but had been renovated, and even the crops in the fields showed signs of being trimmed. In addition, there are still some traces left by the army stationed around, and some graves have been added and Xue Shao has seen the monument standing there, so the people believe that the army of the Tang Dynasty has been temporarily stationed here.

Since the last time Xue Shao and the people of the Three Blades Brigade rescued the villagers, these villagers' feelings for the Tang Dynasty soldiers have become extremely deep. After they returned to their hometown, they first stabilized their lives, and then each family contributed money and strength to repair all the tombs of the Three Knife Brigade, and even did not hesitate to empty out the poor family foundation, and built this tomb into the style of a garden mausoleum, and also decorated things such as stone horses and stone lions.

Xue Shao and the others came here again, almost unrecognizable.

When the villagers saw the guards of the Tang Dynasty coming, they rejoiced together. Especially when he saw Xue Shao, who had saved them, he was even more overjoyed, and everyone came to pay their respects and took out all the delicious and edible food at home to comfort them.

For the first time, the recruits of the Three Blades Brigade felt the enthusiasm and love of the people, and they were both moved, proud, and embarrassed. In the past, their ideal of joining the army was to mix some military salaries and beg for a living, and it was a great honor to be lucky enough to be a lord to return to their hometown and share the land. Now they feel that being a guardian of the Tang Dynasty is an honor and a responsibility.

From the bottom of their hearts, the guards fell in love with their status as soldiers. He represents strength, bravery, selflessness, greatness and glory.

Xue Shao's own inner world has also undergone some subtle changes. From the very beginning, he did a lot of things to solve the future crisis, so as not to die in the political storm of Wu Zetian's change of dynasty. In the past, he did a lot of things out of his own selfishness, rarely thinking about other people, and he didn't have extra energy to think about the nation, righteousness, glory, and responsibility.

This trip to the army, as a pawn, witnessed the army of the Tang Dynasty, witnessed so many hardships and life and death, especially the martyrs of Guo Sandao, as well as the elites of Cheng Wuting, and these brothers around him, all of whom are imperceptibly influencing Xue Shao.

Xue Shao felt that his soul had slowly taken root in this hot land of Datang. He slowly fell in love with this era, this country. There are the most simple and kind people, there are enthusiastic and generous soldiers, and there are many people who they love and love themselves.

Xue Shaozhi said that he finally belonged to this era and integrated into this world. In the future, life will definitely not be just a fly camp dog to live for oneself and work hard for survival. He has more responsibilities and some ideals.

Protect this hot land and the people who live on it!

Let this era bloom with more brilliance and become more beautiful!

People are great because of their dreams, and men rise up because of their ambitions. Xue Shao felt that his inner world was more substantial, and there was more light and positive energy than before.

All of this comes from the people and things that I have experienced in the army this time. Those ordinary soldiers and simple people, those simple and humble little people, with their sincerity and enthusiasm, opened Xue Shaochen's heart little by little, and injected a blood of vitality and gratitude into his heart.

Xue Shao, Chengyu, is really resurrected now!

……

With the help of the villagers, fifty new graves were quickly built. is the same as the graves of Sandao and others before, they are just clothed mounds. The bones of the brothers who died in the black sand will never come back.

The wooden stele that Xue Shao used to erect with the door panel before was replaced by the villagers with a towering stone stele, which was very magnificent. The villagers said that they had stonemasons in their own village, and it took almost a month to get it done, and all the hearts of the people in the village were here.

On the tombstone is Xue Shao's original handwriting, with a column of big characters written - "The heroes and martyrs under the command of the Third Brigade of the Right Guard Xun and the Yue Cavalry Regiment of the First Mansion are immortal"!

"General, in the future, our village will be called Yingli Village." The old man in the village took the initiative to say to Xue Shao, "We want our descendants to guard the tombs of these heroes for generations, and never let them lack incense to worship!" ”

"Thank you so much, old man!" Xue Shao was very emotional, there is a word called "military and civilian fish water" in later generations, and it is not an exaggeration to talk about it now.

Xue Shao took the juniors of the Three Knife Brigade to recite the oath of the Three Knife Brigade in front of the tombstone loudly in unison, and the mighty voice of "swearing to the death to shake the guard" resounded through the mountain village.

The villagers desperately wanted to let Xue Shao and others stay here for a night, Xue Shao finally refused, but he couldn't get rid of a meal of wine and food. So Xue Shao and his entourage enjoyed the warm hospitality of the villagers in the village, and when they left, Xue Shao did not forget to quietly leave a sum of money to the villagers. They have just been displaced and lost their loved ones, and they are not rich, so they cannot eat and drink them for nothing.

Then the group continued south, looking at the state.

When he arrived near the big forest where Niu Ben was hiding, Xue Shao wanted to part ways with everyone and made an appointment to meet at the "Laiyi Wine Shop" in Taiyuan City, the seat of Bingzhou Governorship, at noon tomorrow.

Guo Yuanzhen and the others laughed wickedly when they saw Xue Shao and Yue Nu going to the deep and wide woods together. Guo Yuanzhen said: "General Xue, there are insects in the woods, and there are thorns piercing the buttocks, how can you and General An still have this kind of interest?" Why don't we go into town together and find a comfortable room to live in? ”

"Roll ——!" Xue Shao scolded angrily, and Guo Yuanzhen and the others left laughing.

Yuenu's face was flushed when Guo Yuanzhen joked, "This guy, his mouth is really damaged!" ”

Xue Shao smiled, "Let's go, let's take a look at that big stupid bear together!" ”

The two of them walked into the dense woods, and walked around for a while until they found the cave. Before I even entered, I heard the sound of shouting and punching and kicking from inside, as if someone was fighting fiercely!

Xue Shao and Yue Nu were shocked at the same time: Could it be that someone has found here?!

The two of them reined in and hid, and entered the cave quickly and hidden, hiding in the dark to take a look, but they breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that it was Wu Ming who was competing with Niu Ben.

Wu Ming is a warrior monk who grew up in Shaolin Temple since he was a child, and his kung fu is superb to perfection; Niu Ben is born with divine power to overwhelm Shihui, and the two fight each other like a dragon and tiger battle, which is extremely fierce and exciting.

Compared with the past, when he only used brute force, today's Niu Ben's punch and kick moves made Xue Shao feel bright-this big stupid bear has also specialized in boxing!

"Father-in-law!" The moon slave couldn't hold it back, and screamed happily.

Wu Ming was slightly distracted, and Niu Ben smashed his angry fist into his chest. Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Wu Ming's waist, chest and abdomen shrank like a bow, and his feet slid backwards, and his body moved backwards like a ghost!

"My mother!" Niu Ben looked at the big fist that he had missed, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "This is the legendary light skill?!" ”

"This is my father-in-law's specialty, snakewalking!" The moon slave said proudly and loudly.

Xue Shao also opened his eyes, according to ancient legends, there are seventy-two stunts in Shaolin Temple, many of which are light dodge kung fu. Wu Ming's snake walking technique that moved flat on the ground just now is really something that can only be seen in martial arts movies, it's really like a fantasy!

"Childe is here!" Wu Ming retracted his momentum, smiled slightly, and came forward to pay respects.

"Brother, you're back! But I want to die!! Niu Ben opened his arms, and a bear hug rushed towards Xue Shao!

"Stay away from me!" Xue Shao dodged and moved away.

Niu Ben smiled, "I'm happy to see you!" ”

Xue Shao nodded with a smile and said to Wu Ming: "Why do you still have the leisure to come and compete with Niu Ben?" ”

"In recent months, I've been coming to see the Niu Ben brothers every three days." Wu Ming said, "Don't look at him as illiterate and reckless, but he is very talented in martial arts." I taught him the Iron Bull Skill and the Overlord Elbow, and he practiced it quickly and well. You also saw it just now, I was a little distracted, and I was almost defeated by his fist! ”

"Hehe, that's Master, your old man taught him well!" Niu Ben smiled, smiling with a messy face. Seeing Xue Shao, he was really very happy.

"Who is your master, don't scream!" Yuenu shouted with a straight face.

"Senior sister, he is really my master, I didn't dare to scream!" Niu Ben whispered timidly, "Then you are my senior sister!" ”

Yue Nu rolled her eyes, "I don't have a stupid junior brother like you!" ”

Xue Shao and Wu Ming laughed.

After a moment of intercourse, Xue Shao and Wu Ming had a private conversation about business, and asked him how the situation was in the Governor's Mansion of the Prefecture and Prefecture, and whether he had found the Chi Bao?

Wu Ming said that most of the Chi Bao was destroyed by Li Chongyi, and his kind of old spirit would not easily leave the kind of evidence that could testify against him.

But in the past three or four months, Wu Ming has been lurking in the Governor's Mansion, but he has made another major gain!
