Chapter 435: Going Home
On January 19, 799 in the Guangming calendar, Wolf City.
The whole city is filled with joy, the ruins of the former Governor's Palace have long been cleared, and the new Governor's Palace has just been completed, although it is a harsh winter, but it is decorated with various paper lanterns.
The people of Wolf City walk down the streets with smiles on their faces, and they have no reason to be upset. In everyone's opinion, the most dangerous time in northern Xinjiang has passed.
What's more, Northern Xinjiang has a new Governor, who is the former commander of the Wolf Cavalry Battalion, the hand of the Governor, the Imperial Lieutenant General, and now the Lord-sama of Monton, who has been promoted to General. This means that from this moment on, the northern frontier once again has a head wolf, and he will lead the warlike wolves of the northern frontier to guard the land under his feet.
The people of Northern Xinjiang do not need the tears of cowardice, thousands of years of war have sharpened their nerves to be tougher than the iron ropes of the city bell, and they can always get back up in the most tragic defeat.
This is the hometown of the best warriors of the Empire, has given birth to countless famous generals of the Empire, has the strongest legion on the mainland, and the traces of swords and axes on the north wall of the Wolf City all tell the glory of this city of heroes.
Although in the past year, it has lost its best commander and the strongest warrior, but the history of thousands of years of indomitable has made the people of Northern Xinjiang believe that they will soon stand up and become the most striking presence in the continent again, which is the self-confidence that is integrated into the blood and blood of the people of Northern Xinjiang.
In addition, there is another thing that also excites the people of northern Xinjiang.
Li Wuheng, who was born in Wolf City and was raised by the former governor and invincible general Guo Zizhong, has become another great pride of the people of Northern Xinjiang.
Originally, when the name Li Wuheng was mentioned, most of the people in Wolf City were a little unfamiliar, but as long as the name of the three heroes of Wolf City (harm) Ah Heng was mentioned, everyone would smile. No way, in the past ten years, the people of Wolf City have watched the three little guys who have been making trouble all day long grow up little by little, although they have tossed a little, but the days without them are also lonely, those vendors are even more nostalgic, I heard that the old Zhang Tou who sells steamed buns in the east of the city every time he mentions these three little guys is a handful of snot and tears, which makes people disgusted.
Now, this young duke is about to get married, and he specially put the marriage in Wolf City, what does this mean, this shows that although Ah Heng, this kid is a high-ranking official, but he still regards Wolf City as his home!
The people of Wolf City are very satisfied, no, they are still a little dissatisfied, I heard that Ah Heng is marrying a girl from the undead clan, and she is not small, at least she is a county lord or something. But no matter how big it is, after all, he was not born in Northern Xinjiang, and he always feels that something is missing.
However, since the woman is not small, Wolf City cannot weaken its momentum. So, there was almost no need to mobilize, from the first moment when they knew that Ah Heng was going to get married in Wolf City, everyone spontaneously cleaned up the streets and alleys, and put up lights everywhere to be beaming with joy.
Even the little hooligans who inherited the cause of collecting protection money from the three heroes of Wolf City are well-dressed, and they must smile when they meet people, behave politely, and look like literate people.
After the war, double happiness came immediately, and you can imagine how happy the wolf city was at this time.
Of course, there is no such thing as perfection. At this moment, in the mansion of the Duke of Wolf City, which is located in a prominent position in Wolf City, Guo Wu was scolded by the elders in the family.
Beside Guo Wu, it was Chiba who was crying with pear blossoms and rain.
Guo Wu remained motionless, letting the old man's spitting stars cover his face, no matter how ugly the words were, he only had one sentence: "I want to cancel the marriage contract!"
Chiba's cry was even more poignant.
"Little rabbit, your father's reputation will be ruined in your hands. A gray-bearded clan elder trembled and pointed at Guo Wu and scolded, "Princess Tianhuang noble, where is it not worthy of our Guo family? You are confused, so you can make such a ridiculous decision! Don't say that you are not the head of my Guo family, even if you inherit the title of duke and become the head of the family, I will join forces with the clan elders, ask for the family law on behalf of your father, and teach you a good lesson as an unfilial son!"
"That's right, please family law, wake up this unfilial son!"
Many clan elders echoed the words.
Chiba cried and said: "Elders, don't embarrass Brother Wu, he is the hope of our Guo family's future, there must be no mistakes, it's all my fault, I made my own opinion, killed the servant woman by mistake, I want to beat and scold, please let me take Brother Wu to suffer!"
The gray-bearded clan elder wept and sighed: "The princess is virtuous, rare in the world, the royal family is willing to marry the princess to my Guo family, which is a blessing that our Guo family has cultivated for several lifetimes, and today I can't say anything in the hands of this bastard." Princess, don't intercede for this bastard anymore, it seems that only family law can wake him up. ”
The elders of the clan discussed it properly and agreed to use the family law.
At this time, Guo Wu let out a long laugh, turned around and walked towards the outside of the Duke's Palace.
"Bastard, what are you doing?" said the clan boss, who immediately ordered the family to stop him.
Guo Wu turned his head and said coldly: "From today on, I, Guo Wu, am no longer a disciple of the Guo family, nor am I the Duke of Wolf City. So, your family law can't be used by me as an outsider!"
He pushed away the obviously hesitant man and strode out.
The clan elders were shocked inexplicably, and Chiba was also stunned on the spot, forgetting to react.
"How can this be reasonable, what is really unreasonable!" the white-bearded clan elder was so angry that he straightened his crutches.
Chiba bit her lip tightly, her face turned pale, she suddenly chased after her, grabbed Guo Wu's sleeve, and said sadly: "Guo Wu, even if you hate me, don't you even ...... Do you want to abandon even the child in your womb?"
Guo Wu stiffened slightly, and suddenly flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "This matter, count me Guo Wu to bear you! If you have a life, I, Guo Wu, will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not hesitate to do this!"
Chiba Rika said with rain: "Do you understand or not, you will only make yourself and me a joke in the world by doing this!"
Guo Wu said coldly: "Is it a joke? Now I am already a joke! I can't kill you, and I don't have the face to see my brother, all this is my own sin! Whether the princess is willing to stay here, or willing to return to the imperial capital, from now on, she will have nothing to do with Guo someone." ”
Chiba looked at Guo Wu's resolute departure, and his eyes were gloomy.
......
Guo Wu turned a few streets and came to a small mansion with a plaque hanging on it: Icefield Legion Recruitment Office. Glancing at the plaque, Guo Wu walked straight in.
Because of the happy events in the city, the yamen was a little deserted, only a low-level military attache of the Ice Plain Legion was dozing boredly, and when he heard footsteps, he raised his head.
"I'm going to join the Ice Plains Legion!" Guo Wu said word by word.
The military attache looked at Guo Wu's tall figure, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly came to his senses: "Welcome, welcome!" This is the first one today, since the good news of the marriage of his own duke has spread all over the city, the recruitment office has been crowded.
The military attache rubbed his hands happily, lifted his pen and said, "Tell me, name, address, how old is it, and what else do you have?"
Guo Wu was stunned for a moment, and said after a moment: "My name is Guo Da, the innermost family in Moss Lane in Wolf City, nineteen years old, I have practiced martial arts, I can ride horses, and shoot arrows...... And, uh, and......"
The military attache suddenly said, "Are you literate?"
Guo Wu nodded: "Literate!"
The military attache raised the paper in his hand, pointed to a line of words and asked solemnly, "What are these words reading?"
Guo Wu glanced at the crooked words, his face darkened, and he said dryly: "Long live Duke Li Wuheng!"
The military attache nodded and said approvingly: "Yes, I didn't lie!" He was secretly happy in his heart, since he was literate, he could finally pat his ass and leave, holding the pen with the hand of the knife, how could he not exert his strength!
The military attache was properly registered, took out a small bag from under the table and threw it to Guo Wu, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, you can report back in three days! In the past few days, the Duke has been married, and all the people of our Ice Legion have been rewarded, and you are now also a member of our Ice Legion, take this money and enjoy it for a few days, and there will be a very important task for you at that time." He smiled meaningfully, "Young man, remember, our treatment can't catch up even if the Central Army shoots horses!"
Guo Wu was dumbfounded, this is the salary, the Ice Plain Legion is really ...... Sure enough...... , this is obviously using money to buy people's hearts, but this is too underestimating the discipline of the people in northern Xinjiang.
Guo Wu was extremely unhappy in his heart, and hatefully put the money in his pocket and turned to leave.
