The gates were wide open.

The front army was the vanguard of the Chinese army, and took the lead in entering the city to clean up the remnants of the northern barbarians in the city.

Zhang Chu and Ji Ba fought side by side into the city.

He looked up.

He looked at the walls covered in sword scars and brown bloodstains.

I looked at the "AllHeaven" plaque covered by smoky fire marks.

A sudden urge to cry swelled up in my heart.

Unsuppressible.

He raised his left hand, pretending to block out the sun, and secretly wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

Mother.

The son is back.

Brothers.

Big Brother is back......

The green horse stepped into the dark cave of the city gate.

The moment he returned to the sun, Zhang Chu's eyes reappeared in front of the bustling and crowded main street of Nancheng in the past.

But in the next second, these fantasies dissipated in the autumn wind like catkins.

What caught his eye was a long street of cold decay and artemisia grass......

As far as his eyes could see, there was not a living person!

The ancient city under the warm autumn sun is like an old man who has been tormented by illness for many years.

Each brick tells the pain it endured.

Each tile expresses its weakness and powerlessness.

Zhang Chu took a look.

His heart was as heavy as someone had shoved a mountain into his heart.

"Lao Zhang, you and your brothers, let's clean up this part of Nancheng, and the other three urban areas, let's bring the brothers from the former army to clean up. ”

Ji Ba said to Zhang Chu.

Although the city has been broken, the fighting has not stopped.

There were also a large number of Northern Barbarian defenders who broke through to cover the main force, stranded in the city.

Zhang Chu shook his head: "The west of the city belongs to me." ”

Ji Ba didn't care, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Zhang Chu turned his horse's head and was about to lead his Taiping brothers to the west of the city, but Ji Ba stopped him again: "Old Zhang." ”

Zhang Chu turned his head: "Huh?"

Ji Ba looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhang Chu's heart turned, and he smiled: "Don't worry, if you really want to meet, you will definitely be caught alive." ”

He said it softly, as if he were catching a chicken for Ji Ba.

Ji pulled out his eyebrows and smiled, and patted Zhang Chu's shoulder vigorously: "You still know us!"

Zhang Chu waved his hand: "Let's go." ”

......

A gust of wind, from the corner of the city wall in the northwest, blew all the way to Zhang Chu, raising the red tassels on his copper tiger head.

He stood in the crockpot market, staring blankly at the empty black earth in front of him with a gaze that could not tell whether it was dazed or incredulous.

What about the cattle and sheep market?

What about the sycamore?

All on fire?

What the hell is going on here?

Sun Si'er rode up to him, waved his hand and said, "Helper, I've searched all over the place, and there is not a single family in the west of the city." ”

Zhang Chu turned his head expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Then catch more of the Northern Barbarians, and escort them back to Taiping Town to find brothers who understand the Northern Barbarian dialect to interrogate!"

"Yes, helper. ”

Sun Si'er turned the horse's head and left.

Seven thousand Taiping members helped the people, a team of 100 people, and checked the entire west of the city door by door.

One by one, the northern barbarians hiding in the west of the city were dug up, chased, and slashed by them.

Bird-like cries for mercy, cries, and wails echoed over the west of the city.

fell into Zhang Chu's ears.

It's like a fairy.

......

It's night.

AllHeaven, former military barracks.

Zhang Chu and Ji Ba drank opposite each other.

Tonight, Huo Hongye rewarded the three armies and invited all the generals above the rank of guard general to go to the commander's tent to drink.

Didn't invite Zhang Chu.

Please, Jiba.

Ji Ba didn't go, but came to Zhang Chu, saying that the wine and food in the handsome tent were not as good as the wine and food in his tent.

"Lao Ji, Jintian Mansion has been taken down, and tomorrow morning, I will go back to Taiping Town. ”

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Chu said leisurely.

He wouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave, but he didn't bother to stay here and look at Huo Hongye's face.

Ji Ba took a sip of the wine bowl and said with a forced smile: "I'm sorry, dragging you into the water, and letting you suffer this kind of wretchedness." ”

He knows best.

The most qualified person to go to the Chinese army commander's tent tonight to drink wine and eat meat is Zhang Chu!

Zhang Chu sneered: "What a big face do you have? Do you really think that I brought 7,000 men to Jintian Mansion to support you Ji Ba alone? If you attack other cities, you Ji Ba Mo said that he was injured, or he died on the city wall, and I didn't bother to come to collect your corpse." ”

Ji Ba let out a disdainful "heh" and continued to drink his wine, ignoring Zhang Chu.

Yes or no, he has a rod and scale in his heart.

......

"Lift the coffin!"

The six Hoututang helpers who had no lives in their hands worked together to steadily lift Zhang's coffin out of the grave.

Zhang Chu wore linen and filial piety, and knelt in front of the tomb holding his mother's spiritual seat.

Ji Ba, who was wearing a plain white power suit, knelt beside him.

Dozens of Honghua Hall incense masters and branch hall masters who had eaten mung bean soup in Zhang's Mansion in the past knelt neatly behind him.

The other gangs, even if they want to kneel, are not qualified to do so.

"Fall into the coffin!"

Sun Si'er, who had been waiting for a long time, dragged an "open-top" carriage over.

As soon as the coffin landed firmly on the carriage, Sun Si'er pulled a thick black cloth and covered the coffin.

Zhang Chu stood up and said to Ji Ba: "The army has just entered the city, there must be many important things in the camp waiting for you to go back to work, you can send it here, and when you are free, you will go to Taiping Town to find me for a drink." “

As soon as Ji Ba beckoned his hand, one of his guards walked out with a burden in his hand and handed it to Da Liu, who was standing beside Zhang Chu.

"If it's more, we won't grind, this is our family heirloom, you have to look at it, you can practice after Jin Liupin, but you must be careful not to pass it on, otherwise we will be very troublesome." ”

Zhang Chu glanced at the burden in Da Liu's hand in surprise, and said, "I didn't see it, your ancestors are still wide?"

The martial arts that can only be practiced after advancing to the sixth rank are Qi Hai-level martial arts cheats that money can't buy!

Can ordinary people have this kind of family heirloom in their homes?

Ji Ba said nonsense with a smug face: "Is that not it? Our ancestors, who are also big landowners in the rich world, if you are not down-and-out, you are such a scoundrel, can you make friends with a rich family like us?"

Zhang Chu looked at him with disdain: "If you say you're fat, you'll gasp, get out of the calf!"

Ji Ba waved his hand: "Have a good trip." “

Zhang Chu nodded, and sat in front of the carriage where the coffin was located.

"Drive. ”

Sun Si'er drove the car himself and whipped it on the healthy horse.

The huge procession slowly moved and headed southwest along the horse path.

They had to go to Jintian County first, bury Zhang's coffin with Zhang Chu's father's clothed mound, and then turn back to Beiyin County.

The brigade drifted away.

Zhang Chu turned his head and looked at the Jintian Mansion on the horizon that was gradually moving away, and his heart was stunned.

AllHeaven's Mansion is already neither human nor human, and there is nothing that can enter his dreams anymore and urge him to come back.

What should be done, he came back this time and did it all at once.

Li Zheng's bones could not be found, so he used a few shrouds made by Li Youniang for his brother, and set up a mound for him under his mother's tomb, which was regarded as being buried in the ground.

The mother's coffin was also moved, and she will pay homage to her old man in the future, and she will also return to Jintian County.

His obsession with AllBright Mansion has all come to an end.

Probably never coming back......
