Chapter 268: The Wind Blows the Fragrance of Rice Flowers

In addition to the princes who stand at the top of the pyramid with infinite scenery, there are also a group of veterans who have been dying in the capital, and veterans who have taken off their armor to make Sun Weile are silently paying attention to the departure of the soldiers and horses of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies from Beijing today.

The revelation of Shen Ke's identity made the people sensational, and it was a spring thunder that exploded in the hearts of these veterans, and the past came to mind, the name that they had lamented for eleven years became vivid again, for some people this is a thorn in the heart, but for them this is a surprise, this is the hope of Dahe, and it is a little comfort in their hearts for the loss of heroes back then. Although they are no longer in the army, they are not the helpless old people in the streets and alleys, they are old, the younger generation has become the pillars, that is the young generation they taught, as long as they are willing to appear, they can definitely regain their former glory.

Perhaps in the eyes of the people and those young soldiers, the identity of Shen Ke will only make the hero more tragic, but for these veterans, this is a representative of an era that once had a bloody and smooth road.

………………

The sultry wind swept across the rice fields, pushing up layers of rice waves, the wind blew the fragrance of rice flowers, and the ripe rice fluttered with its heavy head in the wind, and the sound of the harvest was the joy of the harvest.

In the meadow outside the north of the city, many long-awaited soldiers had gathered, waiting for their commander to come and see them off for the last time.

Military life is about to come to an end, and you can see a happy look on the faces of these people, but when they talk about the brothers who have not been able to leave, the happy look on their faces becomes bitter, many people here do not have this opportunity, and the reason why they can stand here is because of the concession of their brothers in the army, among them, there are sick mothers at home, some have disabled fathers, some children are babbling, and wives who have been waiting for many years, This opportunity is important to both of them.

The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies have drawn a clear line, and the soldiers in the middle who look sad all belong to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and these people are the most enviable and jealous among the tens of thousands of soldiers, not only do they have Shen Ke as the commander whom they unanimously admire, but this time the extra ten taels of silver per person in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army gave them a clearer and deeper understanding of the rumors that Shen Ke loved the soldiers as relatives.

You must know that the severance pay for each of them is only seven taels of silver!

Today's such a big event, the strict Shen Ke in the past also made it convenient for the soldiers, there are many veterans who have lived in the army for many years and have friends who have been friends for many years, and they will not meet again for a long time, Shen Ke gave them a chance to say goodbye one last time, compared to the chaotic noise of the ranks of the Chinese military governor's mansion, the other soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of the four armies who were standing neatly were even more envious and jealous.

Singing the familiar war song and hugging the shoulders of their brothers, the soldiers of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion talked about the most in addition to their future plans, which was the most grateful Shen Ke in their hearts.

Although some of them could not leave, the ten taels of silver that had begun to be sent to their homes more or less made up for their sadness, and they were not surprised by Shen Ke's strong financial resources, they were only grateful to have a general who could go bankrupt for them, which was very important to them.

Shen Ke is their commander, their backbone, and their spiritual pillar, Shen Ke always hangs them in their hearts, and they also combine Shen Ke's honor and disgrace with their honor and disgrace all the time.

The unity of the Chinese military governor's mansion is the most envious and jealous point of everyone.

They left the capital early and waited on the grass in the north of the city, they didn't know the rumors that were spreading in the capital now, and they were waiting with a nervous heart.

A black horse, coming from the north gate, galloped on the uninhabited official road, and the discerning soldiers recognized the owner of the horse from a distance, and it was the soldiers who hooked their shoulders and began to form a team one by one.

After the dark horse, there is another dark horse.

The red fish and dragon costume made the atmosphere that began to become solemn even more solemn.

After the fish and dragon suits, there were horses galloping over, seeing the armor shining in the sun, the silent crowd muttered and discussed, this person they recognized, especially the soldiers of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion and the former Military Governor's Mansion, he took them to Suzhou at the beginning.

The three galloping black horses finally stopped in one place, the dense grass brushed the horses' hooves, and the faint fragrance of flowers was fresh and intoxicating. Not far from the place where the soldiers were assembled, Zhu Ge kept up with Shen Ke's pace.

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Jinyi Guard have always been incompatible, and Shen Ke will never pretend to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, although the two walk side by side, they both have a tense face, as if water and fire are incompatible.

Before Shen Ke approached, the soldiers of the former military governor's mansion of the Chinese army had already been neatly lined up, the five camps, the five military governor's mansions, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, from today will return to the countryside, this is a peaceful and prosperous era.

"Report to the general, all the soldiers are in place." Shen Ke approached, and a lieutenant general trotted forward a few steps to inform the current team.

"Good work!" Shen Ke gently patted the lieutenant general's shoulder and strode in front of the neatly arranged team. "Everyone, when you return home today, you will bid farewell to the barracks from now on, and when you go back, you must treat your parents, wives and children well, earn money to support your family and live well, I am proud to have a group of soldiers like you as subordinates!" Shen Ke raised his hands from his side and bowed deeply towards the team.

The dense soldiers invariably knelt down on one knee, without the friction of the armor metal, without the touch of the scabbard, kneeling on the soft grass, only the sound of rustling, unloading the armor, they had taken off their military status, and now they were a group of civilians, but in their hearts, they would always be the soldiers of Oga.

"The emperor has given you a chance to go home to support your family, you group of people should cherish it, although you are not in the barracks, but your words and deeds represent Dahe, don't do anything to embarrass General Shen in the future, and don't do anything that insults Dahe's military style."

Shen Ke is heroic and tender, but Zhu Ge is iron-blooded and tough, he didn't come today to please these people and make them look down on Jinyiwei who has always been unpleasant, he just didn't want Shen Ke to have the opportunity to reveal the affairs of the city to them and cause turmoil.

The men and horses of the Jinyi Guard are ready.

Zhu Ge should not have appeared here when the soldiers left Beijing, there was anger among the soldiers, but more of them were suppressing their anger, they didn't want to add trouble to Shen Ke for themselves at this time.

Someone noticed the Chang Shenghou who was wearing armor and dismounted and walked towards this side, the silver armor shone with dazzling light, the soldiers took off their armor, but he came on a horse in armor, and for this general in a miserable situation, the soldiers believed more in the defeat of the imperial court than in the struggle for political and political affairs.

Chang Shenghou strode his head high, each step would step on a footprint in the lush grass, the swaying little yellow flowers bent at his feet, the tender grass fell under his feet, and the water stored in the grass roots of a heavy rain a few days ago floated on the tips of his riding boots, like a black flower.

The strong smell of wine dissipated with the wind, and his face, which was red from drunkenness and riding horses, was even redder in the hot sun, and he wore a sword at his waist and held it in his right hand, he knew clearly what he was doing, and even more so what he was about to do.

There is no hope in his life, their Chang family will never be able to get up again, his daughter has entered the cold palace, his nephew has been imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, the minister who was originally attached to him has already seen the wind and rudder, he has been alone, he has seen the hot and cold of the world, and has tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings, but he does not have the original ambition to pursue interests and power, he wants to do a vigorous thing to end his failed life.
