Chapter 57: An Old Pawn's Warning

When the treasure ship arrived at the offshore waters, there was no need for Zhao Chen to give any more orders, and the sailors took the initiative to stop the treasure ship.

There are many reefs in the offshore sea, and further on, there are countless reefs, so according to Zhao Chen's previous instructions, whenever the treasure ship arrives at the shore without a wharf, it will dock at the sea.

And when the treasure boat stopped, Zhao Chen, together with Cheng Chumo, Wuxin and others on the boat, took a small boat and headed towards the coast.

At this time, when the treasure boat stopped, everyone on the coast had already looked at Zhao Chen and the others, and when Zhao Chen's boat approached the dock, everyone immediately surrounded him.

"I finally saw that Hou Ye came back safely!" The person who spoke was Zhu Youliang of the Flying Tiger Army, and because of the matter of supplies, Cheng Chumo could only send the Flying Tiger Army back temporarily.

Speaking of which, the Flying Tiger Army is Zhao Chen's descendant army, this time Zhao Chen disappeared in Goguryeo, as a member of the Flying Tiger Army, it is naturally difficult to sleep and eat, but it is a pity, but he can only wait here.

Now, when I finally saw Zhao Chen appear, not only Zhu Youliang, but also other soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, at this time, looking at Zhao Chen from afar, their faces showed excited looks.

"yes!" Jiang Chao, who was beside Zhu Youliang, also looked at Zhao Chen at this time, and echoed and said: "Jiang Mou still talked to General Zhu Lang this morning, if there is no news from you today, Jiang Mou is ready to go to Goguryeo in person!" ”

"Well, it's okay, isn't it already back!" Listening to Jiang Chao and Zhu Youliang's words, looking around, and looking at the soldiers with excited faces when they looked at him, Zhao Chen said with a smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Master Hou, are you okay?" Zhao Chen's voice fell, and Dugumou, who had not interjected all along, looked Zhao Chen up and down at this time, as if he was worried about whether Zhao Chen was injured or not, and asked with concern.

"Don't you see who Ben Hou is?" In front of so many people, being looked up and down by Dugumou, Zhao Chen suddenly looked at Dugumou with a relaxed face, and boasted: "With just a few Goguryeo people, how can you hurt Benhou!" ”?

This is half boasting, but half is true, because, with hot air balloons, explosives and ******, the Goguryeo people really have nothing to do with Zhao Chen!

"The old Zhang Yun has kowtowed to Chang'an Hou this time!" However, just when Zhao Chen was only talking to Jiang Chao and the others, he was unprepared, but an old voice suddenly came from behind Zhao Chen.

Hearing this old man's voice, Zhao Chen turned his head in surprise, but just saw that the old man he had seen in Shihu Village that day, as he spoke, had knelt down to Zhao Chen tremblingly.

The old man in front of him is a veteran who participated in the Goguryeo War, and now, he has already reached the age of dying, such an old man, it is too late to see and respect him!

However, at this time, it was this old man who was about to die, and suddenly, he knelt down towards Zhao Chen!

Not only that, but just when the old man's voice fell and he was about to kneel, behind the old man, the men and women led by Shi Hu, almost twenty or thirty people, also knelt down towards Zhao Chen at this time.

The old man's actions were too sudden, not only Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, but also Cheng Chumo and the others beside Zhao Chen, at this time, when he looked at the old man in front of Zhao Chen, trembling and about to kneel, his mouth opened slightly, revealing a look of extreme surprise.

It's just that it was just a blink of an eye, and the look of surprise on the faces of Cheng Chumo and the others immediately turned into a dignified look, and when they looked at the old man in front of them, and Shi Hu and the others kneeling behind the old man, there was a look of relief in their eyes.

Because, whether it is the old man in front of him, or the kneeling Shi Hu and others behind the old man, they are really speaking, in fact, they are a group of soulless people.

For many years, because of the Jingguan incident, they left their hometown and traveled thousands of miles from Guanzhong to come here, going back and forth between Goguryeo day after day, just because of a Jingguan on the south bank of the Maqishui.

It's a pity that they are weak, even after decades, they can be familiar with the terrain of Ma Lishui with their eyes closed, but they don't have the ability to move a Jingguan away.

Now, because of the appearance of Zhao Chen, Jingguan, which has been haunted by their dreams for decades, has moved out of Goguryeo, how can this kind of great kindness and great virtue be clear in one or two sentences.

As the saying goes, there is gold under the man's knees, not to mention, the old man in front of him has already reached his old age, and in this world, I am afraid that there is really no object that can make the old man kneel.

Li Er can't do it, let alone Zhao Chen, it's not good!

"Grandpa, don't do that!" After being slightly stunned, before the old man knelt down, Zhao Chen had already taken the lead, grabbed the old man's arms at once, and said with a embarrassed face: "The younger generation is just under the emperor's order, the old man is like this, won't it hurt the younger generation!" ”

"That's how it should be!" The old man's arms were supported by Zhao Chen, and when he spoke, he was still trying to break free, trying to kneel down again, however, he was already old, and he struggled for a long time, but he couldn't break free from Zhao Chen's shackles.

"Everyone, hurry up!" Stopping the old man, Zhao Chen's gaze turned to the group of people behind the old man, and said loudly: "The matter of Jingguan is not only your business, but also the affairs of all the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"That's what Chang'an Hou said!" Zhao Chen's voice fell, and he was silent on the side, looking at everyone's unintentionality, at this time, he also took Zhao Chen's words and said: "Jingguan is not only what you think about day and night, but also Your Majesty, and every time you think about it, you will have trouble sleeping!" ”

Hearing Wuxin's words, Zhao Chen, who was originally supporting the old man, subconsciously glanced at Wuxin, and when he saw Wuxin's face, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch!" In the end, it was the old man who had become a fine man, and suddenly heard this reminder from Wuxin, and the old man suddenly seemed to react suddenly, and suddenly said loudly where he was standing.

Immediately, hearing the old man's words, Shi Hu and the others, who were originally kneeling on the ground, immediately followed the old man's words, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed in the direction of Chang'an.

The ship loaded with the bones had already arrived here a few days earlier, so at this time, on the shore, the old man appeared with the people in the village, naturally to summon spirits.

In fact, from the time Zhao Chen got off the treasure boat, he had already noticed that the spiritualist platform piled up high on the shore was full of spiritualist flags, and the bottom was burned paper money.

"It's just a pity that you can't tell the difference!" Finally finished kneeling and thanking him, Zhao Chen accompanied the old man to stand on the coast, looked at the boxes of bones on the ship, and said to the old man with some pity.

The loyal souls of 300,000 soldiers are buried in Jingguan, even if Jingguan is moved out now, but when it comes to Datang, it can only be regrettably buried together, and it is impossible to identify it at all.

"It's already a blessing!" The old man obviously didn't care at all about what Zhao Chen said, and it could be seen that what he cared about was being able to transport these bones back to his hometown.

As the saying goes, the fallen leaves return to the roots, and the soul returns to the hometown, these 300,000 bones were all real Guanzhong athletes back then, from the Guanzhong Military Mansion of the previous dynasty, and now, when they are brought back from Goguryeo, they naturally have to be sent to Guanzhong before they can be reburied.

"Now, Jingguan has been destroyed, and all the bones have been recovered!" Listening to the old man's words, Zhao Chen suddenly looked at the old man and said, "The old man has been away from Guanzhong for decades, so don't you plan to go back?" ”

"The old man will send Shi Hu and escort them back!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, the old man suddenly smiled, his cloudy eyes looked in the direction of the mountain village, and sighed slightly: "As for the old man, he has lived here for decades, so he is not ready to go back!" ”

At this time, Zhao Chen and the old man were standing on a reef on the coast, just as the so-called climbing high and looking far away, so when they looked at it from here, in the distant sight, the green mountains were verdant, and there were great rivers and mountains.

It's just that when looking at this beautiful river and mountain, Zhao Chen suddenly remembered what Shi Hu said when he first saw Shi Hu, they were here, and they were facing the embattled scene at this time.

Today's Liaodong, because of the endless wars, the men have long been gone, and they look incomparably magnificent and beautiful, but because of the sharp decline in population, they have become more and more desolate.

Correspondingly, because of the sharp decline in population, this place, which originally belonged to the Central Plains ethnic group, is now being eaten up little by little by the tribes of Liaodong.

Before, Shi Hu had already said that they were now facing people from various tribes who would come and rob them from time to time, and these people came and went freely, and they simply regarded this place as their hunting ground.

Zhao Chen also suddenly thought of this, so he mentioned it to the old man, who expected that after hearing Zhao Chen's words, the old man suddenly smiled, his eyes were still looking into the distance, and he sighed: "Then I can't leave!" ”?

When he said this, the old man paused slightly, and then continued: "Today, Lao Yu and the others are here, they are a gang of robbers, and in other days, if Lao Yu and the others leave, they will be the masters here, and we will become robbers in turn!" ”

At the beginning, Zhao Chen was just worried about these people, and he didn't think about anything else at all, but when he suddenly heard the old man's words at this time, the whole person was immediately stunned on the spot.

"The old man knows that the Marquis of Chang'an can say something in front of His Majesty!" Just when Zhao Chen was stunned, the old man originally looked at the distant gaze, suddenly looked at Zhao Chen, smiled slightly and said: "So, the old man dares to invite Chang'an Hou to bring a word to His Majesty, can you?" ”

"Old man, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" Because of the old man's sudden words, Zhao Chen suddenly had an indescribable respect for the old man in front of him, and at this time, when he heard that the old man asked him to bring a message to Li Er, he immediately didn't think about it, so he agreed.

"Don't wait until his day, a large number of athletes in Guanzhong will come here to conquer foreign races!" Hearing Zhao Chen's promise, the old man almost didn't think about it, so he looked at Zhao Chen and said directly.

Hearing the old man's words, Zhao Chen didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood the meaning of the old man's words.

"The younger generation will definitely bring this to His Majesty as it is!" Thinking about the meaning of the old man's words, Zhao Chen immediately took a step back, bowed to the old man, and said solemnly. (To be continued.) )
