Chapter 1017: One Will Succeed and Ten Thousand Bones Will Wither
On the huge official road, thousands of rides.
The soldiers of the Wu army who returned to Jinling across the ocean were all weathered, and a smile finally appeared on their originally dark and cold faces.
The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years!
Who knows what they have experienced in the past five years?
In addition to these Wu soldiers wearing crimson robes and stubbornness, there were thousands of aliens tied up in the middle of the ranks.
Like the Wu people, they have black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin.
The difference is that they have a darker complexion, and they are dressed in fur clothes, or even no clothes at all, but they are shirtless, and they have animal skirts around them......
In terms of appearance, these aliens actually prefer unevolved and fully humans.
That is, "ape-man"!
Qingji also had to admit this.
It's not that he buries these aliens, that's actually it.
These aliens are supposed to be the indigenous inhabitants of the American continent.
At this time, Li Shu, who was watching at the city gate, also started to discuss.
Qingji did not let the residents of the imperial capital Jinling come out to greet this triumphant army, they spontaneously came to the city gate and both sides of the official road to greet them.
"Pi, where is your brother? Didn't he come back with you? ”
"Daddy...... Addita ...... He died, shot by the barbarians. The child is incompetent. ”
In order to maintain order, Qingji ordered the guards in the city to set up a cordon on both sides of the official road, and did not allow the onlookers to enter to avoid a stampede.
It's just that the "enthusiastic" Li Shu has always leaned on to investigate.
There were many Li Shu, men, women, and children, all of whom were on their feet, looking around in the returning procession, scanning them one by one, hoping to see the figure of the person they had been thinking about for a long time.
Some people rejoice, some people are sad.
For example, a little old man in his fifties and sixties, standing outside the cordon at this time, saw the figure of his son "Pi", stepped forward to inquire, and suddenly felt a thunderbolt on the sunny day, and was stunned on the spot.
As the son of the little old man, the soldier was also very sad, knelt down with tears in his eyes, kowtowed to his father, and said, "Dad, it was the child who did not protect his brother well and lived up to your ardent expectations." ”
"Dad, you want to fight or kill, and the child is at his disposal."
"Idiot!"
The little old man couldn't help but sigh, and said in a sad tone: "I told you a long time ago that the general will inevitably die in battle. Of my six sons, only you and the third are left. ”
"It's good if you come back, just come back. Have you made a meritorious contribution to the enemy this time? ”
"Yes!"
The soldier wiped his tears and said, "Father, the child kept his mission in mind and fought bravely on the battlefield, and even a chief of the barbarian tribe was killed by the child himself. ”
"In the past few years, the king has said that I can be promoted to a military marquis, and the lord will not change. From now on, the child will be exempted from being replaced, and he will have 200 stone a year...... That's right. ”
"Dad, I brought back my brother's ashes and relics."
So saying, the soldier untied a burden from his back and handed the altar of ashes to his father.
Although Qingshan is fortunate to bury loyal bones everywhere, that place on the American continent is a wild place in the eyes of the Wu people, a wild land far from their homeland.
Therefore, the soldiers who died in battle will generally be burned into ashes, so that they can be pretended, waiting for the day of the triumph of the army, and then brought back together and sent to their hometown for proper burial......
There are more than 10,000 people in the huge team, and more than half of them are soldiers of Wu.
Unlike the rest of the Triumphant Divisions.
These soldiers of the Wu army who returned from the American continent were all wearing shabby armor, their crimson battle clothes had faded, and the weapons on their hands were also badly damaged.
What's even more poignant is that many of them are missing an arm, blind in one eye, or have a broken leg and are on crutches.
All kinds of wounded, everything, they all became disabled.
Rao is so, in the welcoming procession, there are still many young people, teenagers, or children who are looking forward to becoming warriors like them.
"Dad, when I grow up, I want to be as brave as Brother Liang next door!"
"I'm going to go into battle to kill the enemy and be a general!"
A childish teenager clenched his fists and said in a firm tone.
"Ahh
However, the middle-aged man next to him slapped him on the back of the head angrily.
"Dad, what are you hitting me for?"
"Shaft! Is it so easy to be a general? One will be a success! ”
The middle-aged man said angrily: "Have you forgotten how your eldest brother died? ”
"He died in the hot spring pass, and when he died, he was all lost by arrows, how can you follow in his footsteps?"
“……”
But the boy was very stubborn, did not argue with his father, and ran away as soon as he turned his head.
He wants to practice martial arts and train his body better.
In this way, you can successfully pass the enlistment assessment at the right age.
For such a son, the middle-aged man is also very helpless.
Is it so easy to win fame and fortune on the battlefield?
At this time, there were also many Li Shu in the crowd, pointing at the aliens in the team.
"How do they look like apes?"
"Ape-man?"
"This ...... They are similar to Kunlun Nu, and I don't know what His Majesty is going to do with them. ”
"In my opinion, it's better to be demoted to Kunlun slaves. We Wu people don't have to serve labor, and all labor will be handed over to Kunlun slaves. ”
"These barbarians know at a glance that they are coolies."
"Woo-woo-woo-woo-"
With a solemn horn sound, Wu Wei, who led the team back to Jinling, finally met his father.
"Son-in-law Wu Wu, see His Majesty Father! Father 10,000 years, 10,000 years, 10,000 years! ”
Wu Wei, who was wearing a suit of armor, still paid homage to Qingji.
"Good. Wu Wei, you can be regarded as back. ”
After Qingji helped Wu Wei up, he looked at his son with great appreciation, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
He has many sons, and there are many with outstanding abilities, but there are very few like Wu Wei who act so like him.
"Let's go, get in the car."
Saying that, Qingji took Wu Wei's hand and let him board the emperor's exclusive carriage with him, among the six imperial carriages.
After Wu Wei sat down, Qingji looked at him with a good life.
Wu Wei is the eighth son born to Qingji and Zhu Ji, and today he is also thirty-nine years old.
It's almost the year of no confusion!
"Wu Wei, this time your expedition to the New World, is it still going well?"
"Back to my father, everything is going well."
Wu Wei told Qingji: "Five years ago, on the order of my father, Erchen crossed the New World to the east for the third time, and Erchen also discovered a continent in the south, which should be the South America you mentioned before, right?" ”
