However, I really doubt that my aunt has been talking for so long and wasted so much saliva, why I don't see her mouth foaming. Just when Ben Gongzi's thinking was distracted, he heard Yuan Fang, who was standing outside the pavilion, roar. "Uncle is here."

"Uncle is here?" I hurriedly rushed out of the long pavilion, took a deep breath of cool air, and finally regained some clarity in my originally groggy head. I really can't stand my aunt's complaints, but fortunately, I only waited for less than half an hour, otherwise, my son really couldn't hold back and found a reason to escape.

In the distance, a team of nearly 1,000 people was walking along the gray-white road mixed with mottled yellow and green. From the carriage at the head, a gray-haired head poked out, which was none other than my brother-in-law Gao Shilian, who had not been seen for several years.

My uncle seemed to see us, too, and said something to the driver, and the carriage picked up speed, and with a short time it finally came to a stop in front of us.

My uncle pushed open the door of the carriage and stepped out of the carriage, his figure was no different from that of the past, but his originally white face now looked a little dark, and it seemed that the southern sun was indeed quite vicious. Before my uncle could say anything, a gust of wind blew in front of us, and then we saw my aunt crash into my uncle's arms, and then a loud cry came out of my uncle's arms.

Uncle's expression instantly became very embarrassed, and he opened his hand, but he didn't know what to do, and his son was the first to react, and he turned back directly to keep the fifth brother and the eldest cousin. At this time, I could clearly hear my uncle's breath.

When we walked a little farther, we could still hear my aunt's sobs and my uncle's slightly stiff comfort.

Lao Wu was curious to look back and observe, but after flicking his fingers, he suddenly became honest, frowning and grinning and rubbing his head. "Big cousin, why is my aunt so excited."

"Can you not be excited? His son is adrift, and even his husband is adrift. It's hard to see it, so naturally I want to vent well. "I can understand that.

My aunt's feelings have always been exposed, but in the past few years, even if she laughs, the gloom between her eyebrows can't be hidden.

The three of us juniors could only run to the side to stay, and after a long time, my uncle finally calmed my aunt, and then came over with an embarrassed face. "Minister Gao Shiqian, see Your Majesty's ......"

"Stop," I hurriedly lunged over, struggling to hold my uncle. "Uncle, don't you bother your nephew?"

"Your Majesty, the ceremony must not be abolished." The old man returned to a serious appearance, with a dignified face. Although his eyes were full of appreciation, the persistence in his tone was really palpitating.

"Uncle's words are wrong, this time Wuji came to pick up his uncle, not to see the courtiers, and ask my uncle to think twice." I took a step back and bowed deeply to my uncle. "In the past, if it weren't for my uncle, how could I have today's Mowgli?"

My uncle looked at me deeply, and eventually, smiled. "That's it, today, the old man will still treat you as my nephew. is worthy of being the son of Changsun Sheng, although the old man knows that you are not a thing in the pool, but he never thought that when he encountered a storm, he had turned into a dragon. ”

After the uncle sighed, his eyes fell on his own son, and his expression began to become serious again. "Da Lang, in the past few years, you have not been cautious enough in doing things, and when you were old last year, the old man heard about it......"

"Uncle, you are far away, you have just come back, don't be in a hurry to teach your cousin, let's go back to the house quickly, grandma has been waiting for you for a long time." I quickly interrupted my uncle's reprimand. I was really speechless for this uncle, who only knew how to be strict in front of his children.

I finally fooled my uncle, and my eldest cousin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with great palpitations, and smiled at me gratefully.

My uncle and aunt rode in the same carriage, while my cousin and my fifth brother accompanied my uncle and aunt back first, and as for me, I stayed behind to cordially meet with the retired soldiers who accompanied my uncle back to Chang'an, and some craftsmen who rushed back to Chang'an from Jiaozhi to visit relatives.

These people were the first to be sent by me to Cochin, and in a blink of an eye, years had passed, and they were seventeen or eighteen years old when they went, and now they have become handsome young men, and in addition to these who came back alive, there are also some people who have died of illness or other reasons.

Looking at the hundreds of ashes on a carriage painted in pure black, I took a deep breath, took off my military hat from my head, and bowed deeply to the carriage. More than 100 guards are all in line with me.

Soft sobs came and went, these people who finally returned to their hometowns, looking at their former companions, but now, the living people, but only a handful of ashes remained, and they could no longer see their hometown and relatives, how not to feel uncomfortable

“…… Write down the names of all of them, and where they came from, and why they are going, and when the time comes, in Valhalla, erect a spiritual seat for them, and they will be eligible to be worshiped by the people of the world. In addition, let the people of the Ministry of Civil Affairs do a good job, and if there are any difficulties and requirements at home, they must write them down, and if they can do it, they must do it, and if they can't do it, tell me, and I will do it. You know? ”

One, two, all of them fell to the ground, they were crying bitterly, but they were crying so freely and with relief. Maybe it's crying for their dead comrades-in-arms, or it's because their happy comrades-in-arms will definitely be blinded under Jiuquan.

My eyes also turned red, and the emotion in my crying was too strong, which was sad and comforting. It's a pity that the deceased is gone, and we can only remember.

At this time, officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Civil Affairs had also arrived. But the more than 1,000 people were stubbornly unwilling to leave, escorting their former best friends or relatives home, or seeing them enshrined in Valhalla.

Watching this group of people gradually move away, standing outside the ten-mile long pavilion, looking at those staggering travelers, after crying bitterly, the faces that were sad but more joyful and hopeful. At this moment, I couldn't help but be stunned.

In the distance, the majestic figure of Chang'an can be seen, and the tall city walls and towers seem to be calling for the return of these homebound wanderers and those who have lost their bodies.

"Childe, it's time to go back." I don't know how long I stood before I heard Li Yuanfang's low call.

"Yuan Fang."

"Childe?"

"You say, these people, these dead people, they, will they hate me?" Looking at Chang'an City, which seemed to have stood for thousands of years, I asked softly.

"Definitely not." Li Yuanfang's voice was extremely resolute, without a trace of hesitation.

"Why?"

"Because, this is also their country, and it is also their homeland......"

I nodded knowingly. "Yes, this is their home and their country."

Their sacrifice will be exchanged for the happy life of their children and grandchildren, and in exchange for the eternal survival of the Chinese Empire.

"Alright, let's go back." I took the whip handed over by Li Yuanfang, walked to the mount, turned over and jumped on the horse, and then looked back at the south. The gray-white cement straight road seems to have no end, looming, extending into the distance, just like the future of the Chinese Empire, which will never end.

I rushed back to the city and came to my uncle's mansion, and at this time, my sister Wujian had already rushed over with her son. Well, it's inconvenient to go outside the city to greet her with a child, so my sister Yu Crisp accompanied her grandmother at her uncle's house and waited for her uncle to return.

Picking up my little nephew, listening to him call my uncle in a milky voice, I was so happy that I smiled, which is like my two flirtatious girls, when I think about it, my brain hurts.

"How long has it been since my uncle arrived?" I put down my little nephew and asked my sister Wuji.

"I've been here for a while, and my uncle looks a lot darker." Wuji's eyes were slightly red, and the fifth Wuyi and his eldest cousin were also staying outside the house like my sister-in-law, and it seemed that they were not too embarrassed to see my uncle and aunt crying.

"You don't want to persuade you?" I couldn't help but stare at the couple and said.

"Grandma asked us to come out and wait for you, saying that she wanted to talk to my uncle, what can we do?" My sister snorted angrily.

"Oh, then you didn't say it sooner." I touched my nose abruptly, embarrassedly, and then glared at the girl. "By the way, how is your mother-in-law's health during this time?"

"It's good, but my temper is not very good, if it weren't for my persuasion and Sister Yaoguang, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law might leave Chang'an and go to Shanxi in person. Alas...... "Wujian also sighed helplessly. "It's a pity that my father-in-law has been stubborn, and my husband doesn't know how many times he has persuaded him, and his mother-in-law has also sent several letters, but my father-in-law is so ......"

"It's okay, maybe he hasn't figured it out yet, maybe he still has hope." I'm also very helpless, for the old man's approach, I do understand it, in history, there should have been a Tang Dynasty, but now I have robbed Hu, the old man fortunately does not know the truth of the change of dynasties in another historical time and space, otherwise, this old guy will definitely take a needle with a straw man with my name written on it every day.

"Brother, how is Shanxi now?" Innocent asked with concern.

"Fortunately, it is currently in a period of calm, and although Li Mi said that he turned his back on the East Turkic Jieli Khan, he did not reap any benefits on the surface, and he just won the title of Lishi Khan. However, in this way, Li Mireng and Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou temporarily coexisted peacefully. I stroked my brow and said as I reminisced.
