During the period from Baohua to Baochang, the wars between Zhao and Yuan for decades were continuous, and the strength of the soldiers of the two countries was almost the same, and no one obeyed anyone.

Until the last two years, Zhao Guojun killed a dark horse - Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue is a strange person, although he is not very old, he is proficient in Wen Taowu and witty.

After the death of the previous marshal, he was ordered to take over as the generalissimo, taking charge of the handsome seal and commanding the three armies.

Under his leadership, the Zhao army opened victoriously and smashed the enemy army one after another. It only took half a year to force Yuan Guo to drop the book.

However, on the night of receiving the surrender letter, Cheng Yue relapsed due to overwork and his old injury relapsed, collapsed, and never got up again.

The soldiers were all deeply saddened, handed over the recital to the imperial court, and then held the coffin, and in accordance with the last order of Marshal Cheng before his death, the class returned to the court.

……

In the twenty-first year of Baochang, on March 16, the army returned to the capital city of Anping.

The joy of victory did not appear on everyone's faces, the atmosphere was depressed and low, and each of the soldiers wore white cloth strips around their waists, in addition to supporting the banner of the word "Cheng", but also holding paper flags.

The emperor's brothers, An and Wang, went out of the city to greet them, and almost cried when they saw this scene, so they hurriedly invited the generals into the city to meet the emperor.

Just as they entered the city, a woman dressed in linen and filial piety rushed out of the crowd of mourners, knelt at the front of the procession, burst into tears, lowered her head and shouted: "General! ”

Who would have thought? Cheng Yue, who makes them sad and makes them all think that they are dead, is the woman in front of them!

The team stopped, and everyone in their sadness looked at her.

Several soldiers were about to step forward to drive away, but Bai Xiuyuan shouted, "Don't touch her." ”

"Yes, Strategist!" The soldiers retreated.

When the fourth prince Zhao Wuyuan heard this, he looked at Bai Xiuyuan, who was dressed in white and had a gentle temperament, and took in the pain between his eyebrows.

sighed in my heart, why didn't I feel sad in my heart? Zhao Wuyuan looked at the woman in white and asked, "Who is kneeling?" ”

Cheng Qing lowered her head, her heroic and beautiful eyebrows were sad that could not be dispersed, her voice trembled slightly and said with a cry: "General Hui, the little woman's name is Cheng Qing, she is the sister of Marshal Cheng Yue, and my father asked me to take my brother home." ”

How many people's hearts have been pierced by going home with a bang?

Thinking of that young hero, I can no longer see my family, it's all for them, for the country.

Many soldiers couldn't help but shed tears, and even the people on both sides couldn't help crying in low voices.

Bai Xiuyuan turned over and dismounted, and walked in front of Cheng Qing step by step.

Cheng Qing wiped his tears, although he was acting, he was actually sad in his heart, and he was afraid that he would no longer be able to drink and talk with these former good brothers.

When she came back to her senses, she saw a pair of white boots close in front of her, and the moment she looked up, she happened to meet Bai Xiuyuan bending down to help her, and the two eyes met for a moment, and they were both stunned.

This person is obviously still the fairy who was ridiculed by her, but the happiness and youthful spirit that always carried on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are gone, and they have become painful and mature that are visible to the naked eye.

There is also some stubble growing on the side of his mouth, where is this still like the person who always pays attention to his appearance?

I haven't seen him for half a month, and he has changed so much.

Cheng Qing turned her head to look at the brothers who fought side by side in the past, none of them were what she was when she was there.

I didn't expect them to be so sad for her, she couldn't help but have a sour nose and rolled her eyes.

In addition to apologizing in her heart, she can't say anything, she is a daughter, and she must not 'live' back to Anping, otherwise once her identity is discovered, the chaos in the DPRK and China, the external troubles have just been eliminated, and the internal troubles have begun, how can she want to see it?

Bai Xiuyuan was stunned because Cheng Qing looked too similar to Cheng Yue, with the same straight eyebrows, the same eyes like the stars and the sea, the same straight nose, and the same thin and small lip flaps.

Especially when she looked at him just now, he almost thought that Cheng Yue was still alive.

But when he came back to his senses and saw Cheng Qing crying, Bai Xiuyuan suddenly realized that this was just Cheng Yue's sister, not Cheng Yue, and Cheng Yue would never come back. His heart ached, his throat choked, and he almost suffocated from the discomfort.

Slowing down, he stretched out his hand to help her up, and he said in a dumb voice: "Miss Cheng, you can go with us." ”

Cheng Qing nodded.

Bai Xiuyuan called someone to lead his horse over, helped Cheng Qing to get on the horse, and personally led the horse forward.

The team set off again, only this time, more people looked at Cheng Qing's face.

People who know Cheng Yue want to see his shadow from her again.

The coffin could not be transported to the palace, so it was sent to the Cheng family.

The Cheng family, who had already received the news, had already arranged the mourning hall, just waiting for Cheng Yue's coffin to come back.

Seeing the spirit sending team from a distance, Cheng's father looked at the real Cheng Yue next to him complicatedly, and felt even more guilty. If it weren't for the uselessness of his old bones, how could he have caused his daughter to disguise himself as a man to join the army for his brother? The son wants to succeed him as a nephew? What iniquity has he had?

Hearing his sigh, Cheng Yue looked down at him and comforted: "Dad, it's okay, you don't have to blame yourself, isn't my sister and I all fine?" As long as the family can stay together, nothing else matters. ”

Father Cheng almost burst into tears, he wiped his eyes and said, "Yes, yes." ”

When the team to send the spirit arrived at the door of Cheng's house, Qi Diaolie took the lead in jumping off the horse, looking left and right, and only saw such a family with a mourning hall.

wiped his eyes, and when he saw this dilapidated courtyard, Qi Diaolie's eyes almost fell off, and asked, "This is the Cheng family?" ”

Cheng Yue helped Cheng's father to walk forward and salute, "Cheng Laohan has seen the general." ”

Qi Diaolie almost jumped up, and hurriedly went to help Cheng's father, with a simple black face, he smiled hehehe, and said, "How can I let the marshal's father salute me?" This is not to be done. Who is this? ”

Cheng Yue saw him ask himself, bowed slightly, and said, "Call Cheng Ran under your name." ”

"Uh-oh." Qi Diaolie nodded, and asked the doubts in his heart, "Marshal Cheng is a general, and there should be subsidies at home, why is your family so shabby?" ”

Father Cheng was a little uncomfortable when he asked this, and then Cheng Qing walked over and said lightly: "Thank you for your concern, please don't ask about this matter, send my brother to the mourning hall first." ”

Qi Diaolie patted his head and said with annoyance: "Look at my pig brain, I'll go now, I'll carry it myself." ”

With that, he ran to the back.

Bai Xiuyuan and Zhao Wuyuan followed Cheng Qing over, and when they saw Cheng's father, whose legs and feet were not very convenient, and 'Cheng Ran', whose white body was obviously sickly on his face, he also looked at each other, and then saw the look of inquiry in the other party's eyes.

The Cheng family, I'm afraid there are still many secrets they don't know.

The coffin was carried into the courtyard, there were only a few benches in the middle hall for the coffin, a simple spiritual position in front of the bench, a few pieces of white cloth were hung above the curtain, and there was only a piece of black cloth behind it, and the word 'lay' was written, in addition, even candles and incense were not very much.

Seeing such a simple mourning hall, the generals' fire was almost uncontrollable.

Gently put down the coffin, Qi Diaoli and the others finished the incense and immediately ran to the Cheng family.

They were all people who had fought on the battlefield, with a murderous aura on their bodies, and they looked at Father Cheng so seriously that they almost didn't scare him out.

"What are you going to do?"

Cheng Qing knew the behavior of these people and knew that they would not be unfavorable to her father and brother, but seeing that her father was so scared, she still chose to stand in front of them.

Qi Diaolie wiped his eyes fiercely, and asked with red eyes: "Sister, tell me, why is your family like this?" Marshal Cheng dedicated his life to the field, he is a man who stands up to the sky, and he is the person I admire the most in my life, I must not watch his family suffer such grievances after his death. ”

Cheng Qing glanced at him sadly, speechless.

Cheng's father couldn't open his mouth, just cried.

Cheng Yue felt sorry for his sister and said, "We have never received any subsidies. ”

The generals were shocked, and then an even bigger fire broke out.

Qi Diaolie was convinced of Cheng Yue's words, and his face was so angry that he was hideous, and said: "How can this be true!" I'm going to settle accounts with the household department! ”

The other generals were also indignant, and followed the lacquer carving to kill them in a hurry.

No matter how good Bai Xiuyuan's temper is, his face is cold, not to mention Zhao Wuyuan, his face is so black that he can drip ink,

The two of them didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
