asked people to bring silver to Ye Bao'er, but Ye Bao'er didn't want to say no.

"Don't?" Wang Hengyue was a little curious: "Then what do you want?" ”

"Big." Ye Bao'er said timidly: "I, I want to join the army?" ”

Army? Not only Wang Hengyue, but everyone's eyes widened.

"Yes, my lord, I want to join the army!" Ye Baoer plucked up the courage to say.

Wang Hengyue smiled and shook his head: "How dangerous it is in the army, people will die at any time." Which family of girls are you? I'll give you some more money, and find a good man to marry." ”

"No!" Ye Bao'er suddenly became stubborn for a moment: "My lord, if you ask me what reward I want, I want to join the army!" ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Hengyue pretended to put down his face, and then his tone softened a little: "Say a reason!" ”

Before Ye Bao'er could speak, her eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Dad participated in the Alliance, he died during the Guang'an Uprising, and his head was hung on the city tower, I, I want to avenge my father!" ”

Wang Hengyue was silent for a moment.

This girl is also pitiful, her parents died, leaving her alone. But now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is dead, and the Qing army is gone, who will she seek revenge after joining the army?

Wang Hengyue sighed: "Ye Bao'er, the Qing army is gone."

"I know!" Ye Bao'er took over: But my enemy is still there, and the one who killed my father is Guang'an Guan and Gui Shuntang! ”

Ye Bao'er almost gritted her teeth and said the name.

Wang Qinglu quietly pulled Wang Hengyue aside and said in a low voice: "Hengshuai, although there is no precedent for a woman to join the army, Ye Bao'er's background is really pitiful. Besides, Heng Shuai accepted her and it was not out of nowhere, this girl had a good surname from Shui, and secondly, her father was originally a descendant of the Changhuanglin faction next to Emei Wannian Temple, and he played very well with one hand 'Fire Dragon Rolling Boxing', and he was the first person in the six counties. I just heard that Ye Baoer is very good at the essence of his father. ”

How powerful a woman is at learning martial arts, Wang Hengyue doesn't believe it. However, Ye Baoer's poor background is indeed sympathetic. Anyway, if I accepted her, there would be more than one idle meal.

I thought about it for a while: "Ye Bao'er, life in the army is very hard, can you stand it?" ”

"I can stand it, I can stand anything!" Ye Bao'er heard that there was hope, and said happily.

"Okay, you can be my guard for the time being."

"Thank you, sir!" Ye Bao'er knelt on the ground and said happily.

"Get up, and you don't have to kneel before me." Wang Hengyue let Ye Bao'er stand up, and said to Huang Zixuan: "Find a military uniform for her." ”

"Where am I going to find a woman's clothes?" Huang Zixuan muttered in a low voice: "A woman has a fart, don't you fall in love with her"

Wang Hengyue's eyes widened, and Huang Zixuan hurriedly stopped talking.

"Brothers, you're almost done, and you're all going home with me!"

Wang Hengyue's words made the brothers cheer immediately!

Home, home! This time, the Tibetan Province put down the rebellion, and the Reading Force Mixed Division went out in July and did not return until December, which lasted more than five months.

In the past five months, the soldiers on the expedition have eaten and slept in the open, marched long distances, and fought countless vicious battles. Transferred to Tibet and raised the country's prestige.

At this moment, when I heard that I was finally able to go home, the cheers floated over Ya'an for a long time

"Sister, it's been five months since the eldest brother left, right?"

"Yes, five months and twenty days." Ma Yunxin said "en", and she remembered her husband's departure very clearly.

The apricot girl sighed softly: "I don't know when I will be able to come back." ”

Ma Yunxin put down the work in her hand: "I heard that the troops in several places in Leshan have been dispatched, it seems that there is some military action, I have a hunch, I am afraid that Shu Zhi will come back." ”

Before the words fell, a servant girl stumbled in: "Madam, madam, Heng Shuai, Heng Shuai is back!" ”

Ma Yunxin and Xing Meizi stood up suddenly: "Really? ”

"Really, really! The people of Rong County went out of the city to greet them! ”

"Quick, quick, help me get dressed." Ma Yunxin, who has always been quiet and steady, couldn't help but feel a little out of shape at this time, "Apricot girl, we, let's pick up Hengshuai together"

The city of Rong County was already full of people. Soldiers, gentry, common people Zhao Xi, Jiang Baili, Deng Xia

Heng Shuai is back, Heng Shuai is back to quell the rebellion in Tibetan Province!

Twice to quell the rebellion, Heng Shuai marched all the way, and the rebels he killed were terrified, but with Heng Shuai everywhere, he never failed!

"In May, we swept through Tibet. The Iron Army is everywhere and invincible! ”

In the city tower of Rongxian County, a large banner hung down, which was written by Zhao Xi himself!

In the eyes of Zhao Xi and Rong County's fathers, Heng Shuai is already everything in Rong County. As long as Heng Shuai is here, what else can I worry about?

Zhao Xi and the people around him kept looking forward, knowing that Heng Shuai was coming back early in the morning, but why did they wait until now and haven't seen anyone yet?

"Madame is here, Madame is here!"

The crowd took the initiative to make a way, and Ma Yunxin, who was accompanied by the apricot girl, came to Zhao Xi and made a gesture, Zhao Xi hurriedly replied: "Madam, Heng Shuai is afraid that it is almost here, don't worry." ”

"No hurry, no hurry."

said that she was not in a hurry, but Ma Yunxin kept looking into the distance

"Heng Shuai, the fathers and elders of Rong County are all out of the city for ten miles to greet each other!"

"Good!" Wang Hengyue laughed: "Brothers, you have given me enough energy!" Hold my chest up! ”

"Brush", the brothers' chests are up!

"Brothers, sing our military songs!"

This is a military song written by Wang Hengyue and Yang Sen together in the gap between the counterinsurgency in Tibetan Province, in which Yang Sen also made great efforts.

At this time, Heng Shuai gave an order, and the brothers sang in unison:

"A man rides the wind to break thousands of miles, it is best to die on the battlefield, how to become famous before the national humiliation, and the sword is carried out on the expedition. Resist power, remove national thieves, sweep away the atmosphere and conquer the Yu domain, reckless Great Wall, go in and out, and broadcast the sound of heroes on the earth! ”

As soon as the front team finished singing, the squadron sang again:

"Hurry up and die in a hundred battles on the frontier, thousands of years of chivalrous bones, next to the West Lake on the bank of Meihualing, Yan City restores Suiyang. Resist power, remove national thieves, the spirit of martyrs is shining brightly, the head can be lost, the body cannot be surrendered, and the blood will turn into a cadre! ”

As soon as the singing stopped, the rear team quickly sang:

"The Opium War was a shame, the Yuan Ming Xuan was destroyed, and the sadness of the first day of the year was restored, which greatly damaged our country's body. Resist power, remove national thieves, wash the national shame in a hurry, sharpen my edge, be angry and heroic, and succeed in ten years! ”

The lyrics are heroic, the singing is majestic, and it pierces the clouds!

The brothers sang and sang over and over again, and the song pierced the heavens and the earth

"Hurry up and die in a hundred battles on the frontier, thousands of years of chivalrous bones, next to the West Lake on the bank of Meihualing, Yan City restores Suiyang. Resist power, remove national thieves, the spirit of martyrs is bright, the head can be lost, the body cannot be surrendered, and the blood will become a cadre"

The faint singing voice came, and then, closer and closer, more and more clear!

"Coming, coming, coming back, coming back!"

A voice rang out from the welcoming crowd.

As the song approached, a military flag appeared in the eyes of everyone:

"The first contribution to counterinsurgency!"

"Big brother is back!" As soon as she saw this flag, the apricot girl cheered.

"En" Ma Yunxin said before she spoke, and tears almost burst out of her eyes.

It's back, it's finally back. The brethren returned, and so did their husbands

Five months, five whole months.

"Heng Shuai has worked hard, the commander is desperate, and he turns to the battlefield, how can a soldier not serve his life"

A very low voice came from the side, and Ma Yunxin saw that it was the chief of staff Jiang Baili whispering there.

"Anger is a hero, ten years of success!"

The singing was clearly audible, and the military flag was clearly visible.

Riding on a horse and holding the military flag, it was the commander of the Reading Power Mixed Division:

Wang Hengyue!

"Heng Shuai, long live! Hooray, Heng Shuai! ”

At this moment, the crowd erupted in such cheers!

Twenty steps in front of the crowd, Wang Hengyue waved his hand, and the singing stopped, and the brothers also stopped!

Wang Hengyue put the military flag on the ground, turned over and dismounted, walked to the crowd with steady steps, and saluted "Horn": "Going out to fight for a trivial matter, He Lao's father is so bothered!" ”

"Hengshuai expedition, the second pacification of the Tibetan chaos, this is the blessing of my country, the glory of Rong County, how to come to the word trivial!" Zhao Xi said loudly:

"Wine!"

A large bowl of wine was served, and Zhao Xi raised it in front of Wang Hengyue: "Hengshuai, please drink this bowl to strengthen your strength!" ”

Wang Hengyue took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp: "Fathers and fellow villagers, Tibet has repeatedly rebelled, Wang Hengyue is a national soldier, and it is his duty to quell the rebellion!" During the Manchu Dynasty, I went; It's the Republic of China, and I'm going again. Anyone who betrays my country will be punished even if it is thousands of miles! Whoever divides my country, kill! Anyone who betrays China, kill! ”

As he spoke, he threw the bowl vigorously on the ground.

"Hooray! Banzai!! Banzai!!! ”

The fanatical cries of the people are sounding again!

Whoever divides my country, kill! Anyone who betrays China, kill!

Jiang Baili walked up, looked at Wang Hengyue calmly, and then only said three words:

"Good work!"

A thousand words have been included in these three words.

Wang Hengyue didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.

Ma Yunxin and Xing Meizi also walked up.

Ma Yunxin smiled slightly, looked at her husband, and wanted to speak, but she didn't know where to start, she was laughing there, but suddenly, she couldn't bear it anymore, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes

Five months of worrying can finally come to an end now. The husband who has gone through a lot of hardships has finally returned. That's enough for a wife.

Wang Hengyue wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly his body shook for a while, and then he suddenly opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Then, as soon as his body went limp, he fell to the ground.

The sudden change made an exclamation sound:

"Heng Shuai! Heng Shuai! ”
