Three days later, Longxi County, Shouyang County.

Although the rugged Bailing Mountain is the place where the emperor is prosperous, the imperial court has never forbidden the mountaineers to set foot in it. However, on the top of a mountain somewhere on the side peak, I don't know when it has been, it has been classified as a forbidden place, not only guarded by soldiers day and night, but also no one is allowed to approach without permission. The common people said that there seemed to be a mysterious person imprisoned on the top of the mountain.

On this day, a group of people appeared on the peak of the usually silent peak. With a whisper, an old man was summoned out of a wooden house. The old man's body was thin, his face was like a jujube pit, and on his left arm, one sleeve was empty, crackling in the mountain wind.

After the old man came out of the house, he looked up at the sky, and glanced at the group of people who suddenly appeared in front of him, and saw that the Shouyang County Order, which did not come often, was also impressively listed, so he sneered: "How many years have I been here for birds and don't, why are so many people here today?" His face was full of recklessness, "What, I'm afraid that I'm a hidden danger, and I can't rest assured after all, are you going to kill me?" ”

One person from the crowd stood in front, and the county magistrate was busy and stood aside, respectfully. The old man glanced at it and said in surprise: "You, you're not, it's Gonggong Tang!" How did you get here? ”

The white-haired old eunuch nodded wordlessly, but said in a low voice: "Daxing the emperor's will, you kneel down to accept it." ”

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the old man stumbled, his face was pale, his whole body seemed to freeze at once, and he stared at his eyes and said, "You...... What did you say! Emperor Daxing? This...... What does this mean? ”

The old eunuch's face fell silently with tears. When the old man saw this, he was already at a loss, he bowed down but forgot to kneel, and looked around nervously, but saw that everyone was coming with silk scarves wrapped around their heads, and their faces were sad. He shouted, collapsed to the ground at once, and began to shake his head frantically and said that it was impossible, and the old eunuch sighed, and did not reprimand him for his faux pas, but took out an edict from his bosom and began to read it aloud.

"At the beginning of the year, I encountered a cold, and cough, and then hemoptysis, and finally became seriously ill and bedridden. Qingzhi and I, acquaintance at the end of the micro, repeatedly overcome hardships, sincere for the great Qin Zuo Father, although I do not speak, I feel the truth in my heart. Later, when it came to disgrace, it was not what I wanted, and it was expected that Laiqing would also regret it, and he would make people worse, and what would the husband say. Now I will be with Qing Yongjue, the past grievances and hatreds, I wish to dissolve immediately, if there is an afterlife, and then talk about the fate of brothers. ”

"Decree: From now on, pardon Feng Liang for all his crimes, revoke his imprisonment, return to freedom, and give him a three-grade official body, and the court will live for the whole year. If you wish to come to Beijing, the Ministry of Rites will handle it appropriately as appropriate; If you want to stay in Shouyang, the local government will buy the house and utensils on your behalf, and take care of your life. ”

"Big brother! Whining...... How did you! …… Where are you, come and see me, you just left your old brother and left alone, my good big brother! Ahh......h

The mountain wind is cold, and the peaks are depressed. On the top of the mountain, where the grass is withered and the leaves are yellow, there is a silent sobbing, only the heart-rending cry, which echoes between the heaven and the earth for a long time, lingering.

Three years later. Mobei.

The vast barracks stretched across the field, and the flags fluttered as far as the eye could see. The big tent of the Chinese army, a big pole of Phnom Penh stands proudly, hunting and flying. In the tent, an old handsome man sat in the middle of the top head, and was reporting the military intelligence on one side of the table, and telling the senior generals who were sitting on both sides of the table and not squinting.

"Report to the envoy, General Yang asks to see you."

Outside the curtain, the pro-soldiers reported loudly. The old man answered, and the military discussion was interrupted. Suddenly, a general walked in, and under the gaze of both sides, he stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "The last general, Yang Chu, meet the envoy!" ”

"Well, good. You're back. This trip back to Luoyang, how will the emperor explain? ”

"Returning to the courtesy. On the orders of the envoy, the last general will return to his senses and ask for it. The emperor personally said that the 200,000 stone grain and 60,000 pairs of armor needed by the army will be fully allocated within the time limit, and there will be no difference.

The old man didn't have any joy on his face, he was not shocked, nodded and said, "Your father, how is it?" ”

That general Yang Chu immediately became sad, and sighed again and again: "A few years ago, the uncle of the last general died, and my father fell seriously ill after returning from Qinzhou. Later, Uncle Lei Qi died of illness, which made him sad again, the old sores recurred, and the road was not easy. The most important thing is that Taizu Longyu is a guest, my father is grief-stricken, crying day and night until his eyes are bleeding, he has not eaten water and rice for many days, and he has to die for the emperor, my brothers took turns to persuade him, and they were all scolded so bloody that he had to watch carefully in secret, which everyone knows. Later, he came to the house in person, so that he was comforted, and his father did not dare to disobey, so he barely ate, but his body was rapidly collapsing. In the past few days, I began to be bedridden, and my eyes could not see, and the doctor also said that there is really no cure for the elderly, which is how good I am! ”

Yang Chu's eyes turned red, and there was a low voice of sympathy below. The old man groaned: "In this case, you can go back, I will write an excerpt and present it to the emperor, this time the northern expedition will take a vacation for you, and go back to accompany your father." ”

Unexpectedly, Yang Chu shook his head like a rattle: "So that the prime minister knows." Before the end of the day, my father said that if he hadn't been sick, he would have wanted to come to the northern frontier, and he hated himself for being old and useless. He also repeatedly told the last general to obey the order and fight bravely to kill the enemy, so as to repay the emperor and the present, and never fall into his prestige. If he takes leave and goes home because of him this time, he will inevitably be extremely angry, and he will scold the last general for abolishing the public for his own selfishness, failing the country, and being a coward who escaped before the battle, afraid not to be beaten to death by him! The last general was worried about his father, but he really didn't dare to go back. A lot of hard work, so that the compatibility is good. ”

The old man sighed and said with emotion: "Your father was brave and brilliant in the past, known as the world's first-class fierce general, with two knives in his hands, he conquered the Quartet for my Great Qin, and he was distinguished by his achievements. Now that he is old and his body has declined, his heart has not diminished his pride, and he still has the feeling of loyalty to the country, which is really admirable. After returning to the division, Ben Shuai personally went to persuade him! ”

Yang Chu's heart was sad, and he secretly thought that he couldn't wait for you to go back. But he said respectfully: "The last general thanked his father for his family." The father has a great relationship with the envoy, but whenever the envoy is mentioned, he is convinced. ”

Li Chuan, the general of Pingdong, got up and seconded the proposal: "Lao Yuanrong has been in the world for 30 years, from Bashu to Wuhui, from Lingnan to Mobei, it is really the four seas and eight wildernesses, but wherever the soldiers go, they are invincible, and they can be described as the pillars of the sky. The father of the last general has also said many times that the person he admires the most and makes his five bodies fall to the ground, except for the first emperor, is to make you. ”

The old man shook his head, but his face became pale, and he said loudly: "When it comes to public loyalty to the country, it just so happens that you are all here, and Ben Shuai will say a few more words." In the past, Ben Shuai was just a small official in Guzang City, repeatedly copying books, struggling to survive, and his future was at a loss. The first emperor was not too humble, gave favor and love, and granted important tasks, and even promoted the general. has to meet the first emperor, this handsome can be reborn, and it is the name of Xie Ai today. ”

Speaking of this, the old man was obviously emotional, and his eyes were already wet with tears, "The first emperor and the handsome man are recreated with grace, and the love is as deep as the sea!" In addition to myself, my parents and brothers in the family are all deeply virtuous. Our generation joined the army, and should defend the country for life, and participate in the prosperous era of Great Qin, in order to repay the emperor's kindness. We must not be in a state of confusion, destroying our conscience and becoming a sinner. Gentlemen! ”

The generals below were all moved when they heard the words, and all of them stood up. The old marshal admonished again, and after discussing the military affairs in detail, everyone dispersed for the time being. The old handsome man was left to sit alone, meditating thoughtfully. Finally, he called his own soldiers to summon one of them.

After a while, a person came in from outside the door, stepped forward and bowed: "The last general, Murong Ke, meet the envoy." ”
