The group of people who sent the spirit walked for a few days, and the shadow of the Northland City finally appeared next to the skyline.

The remnant sun slanted westward, reflecting on this century-old city, becoming more and more empty.

The common people who followed them back were familiar with the soldiers, and the people in the city were very close to the defenders before the northern land was lost.

Therefore, even if a group of "soldiers and ruffians" were on the side, the people were very relaxed, so relaxed that they whimpered when they saw the old city from afar.

I don't know which one it was, but I shed tears first, causing the people around me to have red eyes one by one.

The smoke and fire of the night when the city was broken were still in front of me, just like this red sun, piercing the eyes with blood red.

Gu Yunqian also cried, he was the youngest among the brothers, and he had experienced that battle, and when he recalled it at this moment, his tears couldn't help but roll down.

What kind of man doesn't flick when he has tears, he is really sad.

With the setting sun, the group walked to the city of Northland.

In this lonely city, there are those who have never left, and there are those who have come back one after another after getting news these days, but the number of people is very small, and it is not comparable to the originally prosperous Northland City.

When the coffin of the Gu family entered the city, they came to greet them, and some of them were familiar with the accompanying people, and they hugged each other and couldn't cry bitterly.

There are also those who recognize the Gu family brothers, choked up and affectionately called "Da Lang" and "Shiro", saying that "Liulang" has grown so big and has not seen him for many years, and wiped his tears and said that it is good that "Shishilang" is alive......

Gu Yunqian succeeded to the clan and followed the clan for fourteen.

There were also people who looked at Jiang Muyuan for a moment, saying that this was the husband of the seven girls and their son-in-law in the north......

Jiang Muyuan looked at the strange and enthusiastic faces, and couldn't help but think about how lively it would be if he and Gu Yunjin hadn't broken the city in the north, and he and Gu Yunjin had come to the northland to return to the door.

I am afraid that the firecrackers will be blown up from the entrance of the city to the outside of the general's palace.

His family must be happy......

The coffin passed through the ruins of the General's Mansion, and the snow was mostly heavy, leaving only the ruins and broken walls.

In the crowd, an old woman cried and shouted: "Old lady, General Gu, we're back, we're all back......"

The group went around the Guandi Temple, and the newly prepared coffin was also sent all the way, and the relatives who stayed here had to be moved in.

Too much time has passed, even if Gu Yunqian sorted it out very carefully at that time, and Jiang Muyuan and them settled very well when they came to verify their identities in the future, but now it is not the same......

The man is fine, and his family will collect the funeral.

Gu Yun's first female dependents were still collected with the help of a few bold old women.

The ancestral tomb of the Gu family is on the outskirts of the city, the sunset and the sunset, and the dilapidated city does not pay attention to the hour.

A coffin descended into the pit and sealed the soil and erected a monument.

Gu Yunyan knelt in front of Gu Zhiyuan's stele, dug a small pit with his own hands, took out the jade tiger that only had the tiger's head left, and buried it in it.

In the end, all that remained was Gu Zhiqing's ashes.

Gu Yunyan went up to the north city wall with the ashes altar, he stood straight, and behind him was the re-erected Gu family flag, which spread out in the north wind and made a rustling sound.

The general seal in the north has not been handed over, and the holy decree has not been issued for a day, and the Gu family military flag can still be erected on the city wall of the northern land for a day.

Opening the altar, Gu Yunyan scattered half of the ashes in the jar.

Jiang Muyuan followed Gu Yunyan up, looking at the remnant sun with only the last bit of afterglow left on the edge of the world, he looked up at the military flag.

The wind became more and more urgent, and for a while, the rustling sound became louder and louder.

Gu Yunyan turned to look at that Gu Zi, cleared his throat, and said, "How long can you stand?" ”

Jiang Muyuan glanced at Gu Yunyan and said, "It's erected, I don't want to let this Gu family's military flag fall again." ”

Gu Yunyan's eyes suddenly tightened.

More than half a month has passed since the battle at Yamaguchi Pass, and this is the first time the two of them have talked about this topic.

Gu Yunyan's thoughts are very pure, no matter how he whitewashes the peace on the surface, how the northern land is lost, everyone in the Gu family knows in their hearts that they are guilty.

Being able to let them personally drive the Di people out of the northern border and take back the lost territory is already a grace for the children of the Gu family.

Even if he is pursued by the imperial court afterwards, it seems that there is nothing to complain about.

But Jiang Muyuan wiped everything out with all his might, and never let the shameful accusations come to the table.

Gu Yunyan thought that hiding the secret, honestly calling out the seal of the northern general, not being punished, and getting some small merits was already the best result.

After that, how the Gu family will revive and how to rise again is what their own brothers have to think about.

Throw yourself into other armies and start all over again, step by step.

But Gu Yunyan now knew that Jiang Muyuan wanted the Gu family to take another path - not to withdraw the general's seal, and still rule the northern border.

This is the absolute support given by the in-laws......

However, precisely because he was an in-law, and because the little grandfather in front of him was his brother-in-law and the son-in-law of the Gu family, Gu Yunyan didn't want to bother him.

"I'm too young, my father and uncle are gone, and my military achievements are not enough to take over the Great Seal." Gu Yunyan is very sober, he knows his own situation, he dares to resist the entire Gu family, and he also knows that he can't bear the entire northern border.

Jiang Muyuan hooked his lips, wrote the word Gu with his eyes along the strokes on the military flag, and said: "I will not return to the capital for a short time, during which I may return to Beijing to resume my life, and I will come back soon, I want to participate in the reconstruction of the northern border."

How many feats we can have, we will see the third uncle.

I want to bet, uncle, do you bet? ”

Gu Yunyan's fingers pinched the ash altar tightly, his joints turned white, and he understood what Jiang Muyuan meant.

He turned his head to look at the huge Northland City, looking for the direction of the former General's Mansion, and looked at it for a long time.

The Gu family has been here for several generations, even if there is a Gu Zhize, as the son of the Gu family, he wants to compensate everyone with his own hands.

With their blood, their lives, their own and the protection of their children and grandchildren, they will exchange the peace of the North.

It's compensation, but it's also a responsibility.

If you really want to hand it over, how can you give it up......

Gu Yunyan retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, looked up at the familiar military flag, and said in a deep voice: "I bet!" ”

Bet that Gu Yunkang can come back with intelligence, bet that they can go into the depths of the grassland, bet that they can break Beidi, and bet that their brother can come back alive, even if there is only one left!

The sunset receded, and only bright stars remained in the sky, and campfires were lit in the middle of the city.

And from tomorrow, as the people return one after another, this empty city will also enter the road of reconstruction.

On the other hand, before the gate of the capital was closed, the carriage of Gu Yunjin and his party finally arrived.

The officers and soldiers looked at the road guide and let the carriage into the city, and the people at the entrance of the city soon knew that the Gu family and their daughters who had gone to Yumen Pass had returned.

It was getting late, and Gu Yunjin was a married girl, so she didn't go to Xilin Hutong and went back to Ningguo Mansion directly.

On the second door, Shou'an, who had won the letter, was looking forward to it.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and before Gu Yunjin got out of the car, he was pounced on by Shou An.
