Chapter 89 I. Returning to China

A cool sea breeze blows on Gao Dingbian's face.

Surrounded by the endless sea, and behind him is the majestic and mighty Silk Country fleet, any warrior will inevitably be high-spirited when he sees this scene, and has the ambition to swallow the world.

But what really makes Gao Dingbian feel sincerely happy is actually another thing. Because of the Goryeo palace maid Song Zijin he met by chance, and the ashes of the little prince of Goryeo that she carried, Gao Dingbian decided to help her return to Pyongyang to bury the ashes in the Goryeo royal tomb.

Now that the Goryeo royal family has been cut off, burying it properly will explain this to all the Goryeo people, and it can also be cut off from any more attempts to summon spirits for the Goryeo royal family in the future, impersonation and the like. For this reason, Yang Lian specially sent someone to escort Song Zijin back to Busan City, and found the remains of the late last Goryeo king Choi Jianjiang and sent them back to Pyongyang, where they were buried in the Goryeo Mausoleum with the ashes of the little prince.

The funeral ceremony was very grand and grand, a full 8,000 soldiers lined up to escort the deceased, all the generals of the Anton Protectorate attended, and Yang Lian personally presided over the funeral ceremony and the subsequent memorial ceremony.

For this reason, Wang Hanxin and Gao Dingbian and his entourage were delayed for two months, even the Zheng Menglong fleet that escorted them back across the sea. But it is precisely because of these two months that Gao Dingbian was able to get along with Song Zijin day and night to deepen his understanding, and before leaving, Gao Dingbian finally mustered up the courage to express his heart to Song Zijin, hoping to return to his hometown with her and get married after obtaining the consent of his parents. There are countless versions of the specific process of this marriage proposal in history, and there are countless interpretations of later generations, which are mainly due to the addition of the generals present at the time. In this situation, Song Zijin herself is a poor homeless woman, and she has a wonderful affection for Gao Dingbian herself, so the result of the marriage proposal is still very happy. As a result, this trip back to China has also become a trip to return home after Gao Dingbian left home to join the army for more than seven years, and now he has not only obtained the high position of Sima from the Andong Protectorate under the fourth grade at the age of twenty-five, but also hugged the beauty, which is enough to attract the envy of his colleagues.

"Loosen the mainsail a little more to get more air! This wind is about to strengthen! A voice came from mid-air, and Gao Dingbian didn't need to confirm it at all to know that it was the shout of his brother-in-law Wang Hanxin.

As for the operation of ships and fleets, Wang Hanxin was taught by Zheng Menglong, but unfortunately he only fought one naval battle after learning this set, and that time he led the broken inferior ships to defeat the last naval force of Goryeo in one fell swoop, achieving a miraculous victory, and also saving the soldiers of Gaodingbian and Huwei Battalion on land. Now that he can finally board the battleship again, Wang Hanxin jumps up and down like a monkey, either at the lookout post or at the helm, or inspecting the weapons and equipment, making the commander of the battleship blow his beard and stare but helpless, because he is not only General An Yuan under the five products of the Silk Country, but also the proud protΓ©gΓ© of his top boss Zheng Menglong.

But there is a deeper reason why Wang Hanxin is so busy, that is, since the Battle of Busan, he has been respected by Gao Dingbian and stayed away, and even his other three sworn brothers, Zhou Siyi, Chen Shijie, and Chen Shihua, were also cold to him, which caused him to have nothing to do on the long way back to China.

This is really self-inflicted. Gao Dingbian thought to himself in his heart. Since the First World War of Busan killed thousands of old and weak women and children, the Chen brothers, who were born in the rivers and lakes, almost cut off their robes with Wang Hanxin, and later thanks to Zhou Siyi telling them the root of Wang Hanxin's hatred for Goryeo, the two brothers barely suppressed the fire. After that, the two ignored Wang Hanxin, Wang Hanxin lost all his smiling faces, and gradually repaired the gap between the brothers, and Zhou Siyi also suffered a lot of hanging.

Gao Dingbian leaned on the side of the boat and thought about it carefully, he knew Wang Hanxin for nearly eight years, his bad deeds were numerous, and he was also the first person to understand this unsolvable knot in his heart. He was both sympathetic and angry at Wang Hanxin, and he never reprimanded him. Maybe this is also a factor in his intensification, if only he could have stopped him earlier. Gao Dingbian understood that he was so angry this time, in fact, a considerable part of it was angry with himself, and he was angry that he could not stop Wang Hanxin's usual nonsense. But then again, Wang Hanxin's methods are indeed harsh and ruthless, but aside from his methods, it is not without merit in terms of the effect at the time, and so far I have never heard of Wang Hanxin's cruel behavior used on people other than the Koreans, except for the crusade against the cult, which is why Gao Dingbian has never been willing to completely turn his face with him.

Just when Gao Dingbian was thinking nonsense, Wang Hanxin slid all the way down from a cable and landed in front of Gao Dingbian with a thud.

"Be careful." Gao Dingbian straightened up and said.

Wang Hanxin grinned and said, "Big brother, this has already left Goryeo, do you still plan to ignore me all the time?" ”

"Don't mess around, one yard to one yard, what does this matter have to do with where? It's a matter of principle. ”

"What I'm talking to you about is a matter of principle, you see your principle is not to harm the weak and innocent, my principle is revenge. At the time of the war, our principles may not be reconciled, but now that Goryeo has perished and my revenge has been avenged, we have no irreconcilable differences. If you ignore me anymore, you can't let the dead come back to life, and in a few days I'm going to set foot on the land of the Silk Country, and if we don't reconcile, how can you let me go to see our father? ”

Gao Dingbian raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you still plan to go back to my house with me?" You should go back to Beijing and face the saint! ”

Wang Hanxin said with a hippie smile: "I know, I don't have a high-sounding reason like my eldest brother, you haven't been home for seven years, and you're still in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law??????"

"Who is in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law?"

"Okay, okay, you're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, right? I am anxious to see you marry your sister-in-law into the door, and then add to your family and multiply children and grandchildren. Don't I just want to see our dad and mother smile from ear to ear? Do you think it's easy for me to be a brother? ”

"What's smiling from ear to ear? Let my mother know about your bad deeds, so that you can't find the north. ”

"Then don't say it. I swear to you that from now on I will never set foot on the land that originally belonged to Goryeo, so that I will never have the opportunity to make a mistake again. Okay? ”

Hearing this, Gao Dingbian couldn't help but feel sad. Indeed, the land of Goryeo only has painful memories for Wang Hanxin, in fact, he is more reluctant to set foot in this land than anyone else. Thinking of this, Gao Dingbian said: "I don't talk nonsense with you." Keep in mind that Miss Zijin has a deep hostility towards you, and you should try to avoid meeting her in the future. ”

"Eldest brother, don't worry, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and there is our mother to support her, so I don't want to be bored with this, and I will hide far away in the future." But don't hide in your sister-in-law's house as soon as you get married, and we won't even have the opportunity to drink and chat in the future. ”

Before the words fell, Gao Dingbian's fist had already smashed into Wang Hanxin's chest, and the knot that the two of them had twisted in their hearts for the past few months also disappeared with this punch. (To be continued.) )
