"Nothing." Gao Wanyue said and continued to walk forward, in fact, the scenery along the way, no matter how much she attracted her attention, would stop moving forward.

There were few people at the gates, and soldiers were stationed at the gates, and the monument stood there, motionless.

The front and back of the stele are engraved with different words, one side is Lishu, the other side is scribbled, it should be the text of the ethnic minorities, according to the times may be Xianbei language.

After a hasty glance, it was only about the battle four years ago, and many things were embellished, saying that there was a young general who appeared in time at a critical moment and saved the city.

After so many years, the city is no longer visible from the erosion of the remains of the war, everything has become calm, and people have gradually forgotten about this tragic battle, and the stone monument that stands records all this.

All the memories will pass by with the wind, just like people thousands of years later, how they look at the past period of history, and whether everything now has really happened, they don't know.

From this moment on, the meaning of existence has become more insignificant, people die like lights go out, what can be left, although the body is slowly corroded, but the soul still exists, and the only thing that can be passed on is this belief.

Gao Wanyue stood here and looked forward to what that young man would be like back then, maybe he should be dressed in a white horse, a spear, and shuttle among thousands of troops and horses as if entering a no-man's land.

Maybe it's like Hu Luguang? Serious, not smiling, a long knife wields freely, and corpses are everywhere you go.

With a smile in his eyes, when he turned to leave, he found that not far from her, there was still a young man behind him, who was also looking at the stone tablet with the same persistent gaze as him, dressed luxuriously, like a handsome son.

Gao Wanyue looked at the young man, and the young man also realized that she was looking at him, looking at each other, just nodding slightly.

"Freshly clothed angry horse boy." He couldn't help but feel appreciative, maybe the general back then should have been so high-spirited.

Hearing this, Gao Wanyue looked back at him, as if she had found a bosom friend, "Listening to Gongzi's words, I should admire the general recorded in the stone tablet very much." ”

"The young general four years ago, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he should be in his early twenties now, and I don't know which general in the court is, I can't help but feel sorry." Many people say that he is a messenger sent by heaven to rescue the dawn of life, and he has retired and returned to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

It is only certain that the general commemorated by this stele has made great contributions and is a hero in the hearts of the people.

"It's a shame indeed." Gao Wanyue shook her head, if he was still in Yecheng now, he would definitely pester Gao Yang to ask who the general was.

"Thank you, Madame, for your generosity." He bent down to salute like a Confucian student, and bent over for a long time and couldn't get up, which shows that he is full of sincerity.

"This son, why do you say this, it's not the first time I've met my son?" Gao Wanyue smiled slightly, I'm afraid he recognized the wrong person, they came from other places, and they didn't know the place here and didn't go out often, how could they

Get acquainted with the things that are going on in this city!

"That day, thank you for believing in me!" His voice trembled slightly, as if he was very emotional, maybe in Gao Wanyue's eyes, the ten taels of silver were not worth much, but for him it was a recognition of him, the first time someone was willing to put the bet on him, although he disappointed her, it was a fluke.

Gao Wanyue suddenly realized, "You are Sun Shan?" "He is the ragged young man who was pulled by the old man, and no one can recognize him when he looks now, perhaps he has become the doorman of the county guard as he wished.

"Mrs. Lao remembered, Xiaosheng sent people to look around, but they couldn't find the whereabouts of Mrs., and they really couldn't return the money!" He was holding his purse in both hands, and he looked heavy inside, and now he was no longer the impoverished poor scholar, he was really a chicken dog ascending to heaven.

"I am willing to gamble and lose, and you don't have to pay back this money!" Since you have made a bet, you have seen the light, and the result has been made, and you must naturally admit it if you lose, and you can't rely on it.

"But after all, I made my wife bankrupt! Actually, Madame doesn't care about the mere ten taels of silver, but I have to return to Zhao. He lowered his head and held his purse high with both hands, looking like he wouldn't get up if he didn't close it.

In the past, according to her temperament, she can't afford it, she has the ability to bend over like this all her life, but now she can't, on this crowded street, countless eyes are staring at Gao Wanyue, and the flowing crowd looks at him in disappointment, and sometimes looks her up and down, this strange gaze looks at her all over her body uncomfortable.

Gao Wanyue didn't want to reach out to take it, this money didn't belong to her, and when she was in trouble, a familiar voice came from behind her, "Wanwan, since it's difficult for people to be gracious, let's accept it." ”

An Youju took it with his hand, still held the purse in Shui Qing's hand, and took Gao Wanyue with the other hand, letting her hold it in his arms, Gao Wanyue shook his head gently, signaling him not to do this.

"Thank you, Xiaosheng farewell." He turned away without squinting, the gaze in his eyes was no longer the timid boy he had been, perhaps she had been wrong in the first place, he was standing alone on the stage on such a grand scene that day, and he had never been timid.

"Young Ju, but we have to accept this silver tael, since we have made a mistake, if we lose, we will lose." has been staring at his purse and looking at the money in it, I am afraid that it is also given by the county guard, and the way is not right.

"If you don't accept it today, he will not give up, and his heart will not be happy, and it will become a knot in his heart." He seems to be very willing to be an adult.

"Let's go, let's go back." Nodding happily, she suddenly remembered something, and then looked back at him, there was always something she couldn't say.

If she didn't ask, she would have been in a trance when she walked home all the way, "Young Ju, do you know which general is commemorated by the stone monument at the gate of the factory?" I guess it's still alive! ”

In his early twenties, he was young and promising, and his future was limitless, and he would not die so young.

He smiled, and also glanced back at the stone tablet, and didn't say anything more,

"You know for sure! You were there in that battle four years ago, and I actually knew him!

Gao Wanyue didn't give up, she just wanted to know what the final answer was.

"Could it be Hu Luxian? No, no, it shouldn't be him! Or is it Hu Luguang? It's not right, it's a bit old! Or..."Gao Wanyue desperately recalled, she had very little contact with the court, so there were very few people who could remember, and there were very few people who could call her name, and in the end she was confused, not knowing who it was.

"It's me—" I couldn't believe my ears, and such an understatement drifted into her ears.

It suddenly dawned on her for a while, and all of her people thought of it, but they didn't expect it to be An Youju in front of her, who had said that he came with His Majesty, because he had talked about such a great achievement.

In the crowd, it seemed that everything was still, Gao Wanyue could only see him in front of him, and the vision of everyone behind him was gradually blurring.

"Is it really you?" She was a little excited, but she didn't know how to express her feelings, what a lucky woman she must have been, to be loved by such a heroic man.

He nodded solemnly, the memories of this paragraph were also drifting away with the wind, he didn't want to mention it to anyone, and he didn't want to announce it, looking at Gao Wanyue's forced question, he had to say something.

"Evening, let's go back." The voice that spoke softly did not have a trace of fluctuation, as if telling a matter that had nothing to do with him, and Shui Qing followed the two of them behind him, keeping a certain distance.

"Wanwan, you know, I don't want to mention this memory!" An Youju was a little lost, maybe no one could understand the hardships in his heart.

"Maybe I can't help you forget this memory, but I'd love to hear your story." Leaning on his arms, with a smile in her eyes, she was also very sorry that she couldn't be by his side at that time, but this has become an untraceable memory, so why bother with it.

Choosing not to forget the past is not to let go of herself, and she used to be like this, if she can't forget the bits and pieces with Yuan Shu, she can't really accept him.

He remained silent until he returned home and locked the two in the back room, then he slowly told the truth of the year, Gao Wanyue drank a cup of hot tea and handed it to him,

"What an excesses you have done since our victory that day! That was the first time I had seen so many innocent people die, they were old and weak women and children who had no strength to resist, and they were powerless, even newborn babies could not let go! Then bury them all! ”

To this day, he still remembers the scene of that day in his mind, crying, scolding, begging for mercy, but he can't do anything, he can't withstand a sentence of the emperor's order!

"I know it's not your fault, it should be an order from His Majesty." With his loving and compassionate mood, he would not have done such a thing, but she had to do it, and there was only one reason, because of Gao Yang!

"Everyone in the world knows how glorious this battle is, but there are pits, how many innocent enemy soldiers and civilians have been killed, no matter which country they belong to, it is just a life." Sometimes he is so compassionate and compassionate that he is decisive on the battlefield, and his ruthless character does not match at all.

Even on the battlefield, he doesn't

If you are willing, you will be ruined, but you have the heavy responsibility of defending your home and country on your shoulders, and those who come to invade your own national territory are enemies, and the enemy must die!

But he will not kill all those who are willing to surrender, because those people also have parents and children, wives and children, and they are all waiting for him to come home.

He is a person who has been on the battlefield, and he also knows the pain of losing his loved ones on the battlefield, put himself in his shoes, and he is not willing to do such a dehumanizing thing.

"Have you ever had a grudge against Your Majesty?" He shook his head, everything he did was ordered by His Majesty, even if there was a hesitation, he never interfered, he believed that His Majesty was heaven, and the divine will would not go wrong.

Since he was eight years old, he has accompanied his father in the battles between the north and the south, and has never doubted what His Majesty is going to do, including what many people call usurpation, and it is also in accordance with the time.

looked at him and smiled bitterly, "Young Boy, do you know that not everything he wants to do is right, and what he wants you to do is not just as simple as the emperor's order, maybe you should have your own judgment!" He is the so-called too much belief in Gao Yang, and his indulgence and willfulness and arbitrariness are also taken as the truth.

"That's the root!" But he is also changing little by little, when Gao Yang ordered him to secretly inquire about his clues, he concealed something, which was also the beginning of his beginning to follow his own heart.

"It doesn't matter now." He held Gao Wanyue's hand, maybe he had some bad memories, but now the happy thing is that he is full of expectations for the future, he can live according to his own wishes, have a beautiful wife, and have a lovely child in the future, a happy life for a family of three.

"That's right, because we have each other now!"
