Chapter 427: Martial Army Soul Town Longshan (7)
When he heard the words "Zhenlong Mountain", Ling Yi could no longer hear all the sounds around him, and the sound of the crowd cheering in his ears did not bring him back to his senses.
Even if the crowd surrounded him and threw him high into the sky, he didn't react, he didn't expect that the remains of these martial artists would be buried in Zhenlong Mountain, you must know that it was his grandfather, Duke Wuzhi, who was buried there.
Who would have thought that the last thing His Majesty the Emperor wanted to see happened, he was superstitious about the ghost of the martial army, but this is it, the martial army finally returned to Zhenlongshan and returned to his grandfather's command, all of which was providential.
This is also the most suitable place to bury the remains of the samurai army, although the feng shui is not the best, but there is a grandfather here, the samurai army is united by the grandfather again, although it is only a grave, but the soul of the samurai army will not be wiped out!
Wei Lian and Wei Tuo didn't stay too long, they explained to Wei Wentao, and then left to go back to the palace.
The Royal Knights also left, as did the officials of Taitsuneji Temple, but there were many people here, and they spontaneously drove the hearse, turned the head of the car, and walked out of the city.
Now the atmosphere is much more harmonious than before, but Ling Yi is still a little confused.
This night, Ling Yi placed the team at the foot of Zhenlong Mountain. The whole Zhenryu Mountain is full of laughter and laughter, the bonfire is bright, and Zhenryu Mountain, which has become a barren mountain, has become the hottest place outside Kyoto, and everyone is not too sad, and over the years, the sadness has also been sad. All that remains is joy and solace.
Who would have thought that there had been no hope of being reunited again, and that it came true today.
The crowd was very grateful to all the personnel of the Wu Lingyi Department, and on this night, they brought out the best wine and food to entertain everyone.
Ling Yi accepted the thanks from everyone, many people wanted to kneel down for Ling Yi, but they were stopped by him, in his opinion, all this was what he should do, he was to fulfill his grandfather's last wish.
Originally, Ling Yi was going to go up the mountain to worship his grandfather first, but he still stopped his actions, not that he was unwilling, but now the eyes of the entire imperial capital were focused on this Zhenlong Mountain, and he couldn't let others see what was wrong and cause unnecessary trouble.
Next to the bonfire, Guo Zhengtang walked over.
Guo Zhengtang first saluted Ling Yi, and then said, "Captain Wu, can the old man come and sit down?"
Ling Yi hurriedly got up and returned the salute and gave up his seat: "Grandpa Guo, come and sit!"
"Thank you!" Guo Zhengtang sat next to Ling Yi, and then motioned for Ling Yi to sit next to him.
Ling Yi did not evade, sat directly on the right hand side of the old man, and then lowered a cup of tea to Guo Zhengtang.
Guo Zhengtang took the tea, smiled slightly, and said: "If I thank you too much, I won't say it, the old man hasn't drunk alcohol for many years, so I'll give the captain a cup today!"
After speaking, Guo Zhengtang picked up the wine bottle next to the fire, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one of them to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi didn't stay, and he was also bored.
"Ahem......" Guo Zhengtang really didn't seem to have drunk for many years, choking on the spicy sorghum wine and coughing again and again.
"Grandpa Guo, slow down!"
"Hahaha, I haven't drunk such pure sorghum wine for so many years!
"Grandpa Guo should have been a bold person when he was young, looking at the way you drink, it's very happy!"
"You're right, I think the only one who can drink me in the entire empire back then is the old man Wuzhi, except for him who drinks in this life, no one is convinced!" Guo Zhengtang seems to be reminiscing about his youth!
"Hey, is Grandpa Guo very familiar with the old duke?" Ling Yi was aroused and asked out loud.
"Wuzhi? I have known him since he was about 20 years old, until the old man resigned and returned to his hometown fifteen years ago, I originally thought that when the old boy also returned to the field, and then I would have a hard drink with him, who knew that in the end, it was indeed the news that he rebelled and committed suicide!"
"Do you believe that the old duke has the intention of rebelling or interfering with the appointment of the crown prince?" Ling Yi asked nervously.
"You seem to be very concerned about the cause of Wu Zhi's old boy's death!" Guo Zhengtang looked at Ling Yi carefully.
"I, I'm just curious!" Ling Yi knew that he would lose his words, so he hurriedly explained!
"Actually, it's nothing, it's not a secret, it's just that there are fewer people talking about it in recent years, and Wuzhi, who fought for the country all his life, has gradually been forgotten in the long river of history. ”
Guo Zhengtang did not dwell on Ling Yi's abnormal actions, but continued: "From the perspective of my life knowing Wu Zhi, he is not a person who rebels, if he wants to rebel, he has risen long before the founding of Dongsheng, so everything is not these facts on the surface, and the truth is still hidden in the dark." ”
"You're saying that the old duke was framed?" Ling Yi asked.
"No, I don't know what happened back then, I had already resigned and gone into hiding, and if the old man had been in office for a few more years, maybe everything would have changed. ”
"And what do you mean?"
"I just don't believe that Wuzhi will rebel, as I said, if he covets the throne, the current Dongsheng will not be Dongsheng, he has no reason to rebel. It was not that he was warlike or easy to kill, but that he cared about all the people, and if it weren't for the safety of Yongzhou, he would have been able to disarm and return to the fields a long time ago! Every time he returned to Kyoto, he would repeat that he still had any wishes that had not been fulfilled. When, he wants to go to Shenwu Mountain, when he wants to go back to Haoran Academy, take a few pieces of Lingyun Stone that his wife Wang Zhen found when she was a child, rebuild her tomb, when to find a way for his granddaughter to break through the shackles of his own cultivation, when to go to the Dao Garden once, and apologize to his second son, etc., many, much, I found that he has dedicated his life to this country, but he has too many personal matters or wishes, and he has not been able to fulfill them. Such a person, do you think he will rebel?"
Ling Yi listened carefully, and carefully kept his grandfather's unfulfilled wish in mind, as long as he had the opportunity, he would have to complete it for his grandfather, but he didn't have to worry about Shenwu Mountain, the biggest reason why his grandfather wanted to go back to Shenwu Mountain was probably to find a way for his sister to cultivate. This has been solved, don't take it to heart. When it was time to return to Haoran Academy, Ling Yi had to go to Haoran Canyon to find a few Lingyun Stones, but he didn't know where his grandmother's grave was.
Second Uncle Ling Yi will have to go there sooner or later, but now is not the time.
Following Guo Zhengtang's words, Ling Yi replied: "I don't believe that the old duke will have the heart of rebellion, it's just that there are too many doubts about the old duke's incident, and I'm just curious, with my ability, what can I do?"
Seeing Ling Yi's somewhat depressed appearance, he explained: "As a young man, you can't feel sorry for yourself, you have done a good job!"
Guo Zhengtang looked at the mountain, under the heavy snow, the hillside was not high, and he couldn't see his husband's grave at all.
"Do you know why I put my grave here?"
Ling Yi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"For so many years, the soldiers of the empire have forgotten their military spirit, and even the people of the whole country have forgotten the courage that comes from the heart. I bury these remains here to reawaken the spirit of the soldiers and the courage of the people. I believe that even if Wuzhi has been covered with loess, his influence on the empire will not be erased, and the empire needs him!"
"Maybe your old decision is right, but after His Majesty the Emperor finds out, will he blame you?" After listening to Guo Zhengtang's words, Ling Yi also knew the purpose of his choice here.
"Your Majesty the Emperor? maybe, but everything has become a fact, what can he do? In fact, he also knows that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but there are some things that we can't guess, let it be, the old man has lived enough, if he really can't do it, go down to Wuzhi to drink, he still owes me a lot of wine!"
Guo Zhengtang also seemed to know that the emperor would blame himself for this incident, but in the face of a fait accompli, what could he do?
Guo Zhengtang withdrew his gaze from the mountain and continued: "There are some things that you will know slowly, whether you want to know or what you don't want to know. What you have to do now is to keep improving your abilities. I can see that you are a child with a righteous heart, keep it, and you can't let hatred blind your eyes and lose yourself! If you really have no direction, come back here, there will be the answer you want on Zhenlong Mountain!"
"You ......" Ling Yi didn't know what Guo Zhengtang meant, but between the lines, there was a lot of information revealed, did he know his life experience, how did he see it?
"Don't be surprised, the old man just has feelings, people are old, they don't know the southeast and northwest after a sip of wine, they are tired for a day, and they have important things to do tomorrow, so let's sleep!"
Looking at Guo Zhengtang, who was staggering away, Ling Yi didn't know what he meant.
Turning around, Ling Yi looked at Sun Ze and the others, they were also around from the conversation just now, but they didn't interject.
"What do you mean, Old Man Guo?"
Sun Ze and the others all shook their heads, they weren't sure if Guo Zhengtang had seen Ling Yi's life experience, and if not, why did he say the last words, those words were obviously for Ling Yi.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Ling Yi didn't delve into it, because looking at Guo Zhengtang's appearance, he wouldn't explain it to Ling Yi, but he didn't know what he meant by what he said at the end?
"Since I can't figure it out, I don't want to, after attending the funeral tomorrow, do you have any plans after that?" Hao Jun asked on the side.
At this moment, Wei Wentao walked over from not far away, and just heard Hao Jun's question, and said, "I forgot to tell you that tomorrow night the palace will hold a small-scale banquet, and in order to reward us for this victory, the five of us must attend!"
"The palace?" Ling Yi frowned, a little disgusted, because the events of the year happened from the palace, and his father also died outside the palace walls after entering the palace.
