A woman's head was taken out by Ruan Lingyu and held up in front of the old marquis.

"Do you recognize her?"

The old marquis was startled first, then looked at the woman's head, and was taken aback again, "This ......"

"She went to the barracks to find the general, you knew at that time that she was the general's good friend." Ruan Lingyu said.

The old marquis couldn't help but take a step back, "Is she really Han Rin's person?" ”

Ruan Lingyu held it up in front of Liu Yunheng, "Can you recognize her?" ”

Liu Yunheng frowned, thought carefully for a long time, and then his eyes lit up: "Once I chased and killed you, you brought me to the yamen of the military department, just as Han Rin came out of it, he was followed by several subordinates, among whom was a woman, who seemed to ......"

Liu Yunheng looked at the head again, and changed his words: "It's her!" ”

"At that time, I deliberately brought you over so that you could see this woman's appearance clearly, so I didn't speak, let alone leak the route map of the march." Ruan Lingyu said this, his back straightened, "My younger brother is also in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and he died in battle, so I am proving my innocence, and even more so for my younger brother." ”

"I was chasing you at the time, why didn't you say it?"

"I want to confront Master Hou face to face!"

Jing Anhou closed his eyes, "This bastard, he ...... What a man he is in vain! ”

Liu Yunxiang actually can't remember the appearance of the uncle, but she still remembers that the eldest lady in the previous life repeatedly told her before she died that she must not be buried with the uncle's clothed grave, and she doesn't want to be married to him in the next life.

At that time, she was puzzled, but now that she thinks about it, Xu is uncle is temperamental, which makes the eldest lady die for him. So after he died in battle, the eldest lady closed the door and claimed to be recuperating, and she didn't care when the sky of the Hou Mansion fell.

After Ruan Lingyu said this, he left the woman's head, and then left.

He said: "For the rest of my life, I want to eat, drink and enjoy, what ambition, what to serve the country, Darong has failed me, why should I shed blood for it." ”

This incident hit the old marquis very hard, he hadn't eaten much for two days, he was old, and he had to hurry, so he couldn't bear it.

At noon on this day, the group rested in the tea shed, and Liu Yunxiang saw that the old marquis did not sit with everyone, but sat down against a tree on the side of the road.

She took two steamed buns and went over with a bowl of soup, "You can eat a little bit." ”

Jing'an Hou drooped his eyelids, opened it and glanced at Liu Yunxiang when he heard the words, and then turned his back, "I'm not hungry, take it." ”

Liu Yunxiang went around for half a circle, still facing the old marquis, "Do you feel panicked in your heart?" ”

The old marquis sighed heavily, "I'm really uncomfortable!" ”

He hammered his chest, "I raised three sons, and I took them into the military camp to train at a very young age, and I had great hopes for them, but none of them succeeded!" However, I don't have the face to face these children who have suffered so much, and those dead soldiers, 100,000 troops, and a few people are still alive. ”

Liu Yunxiang couldn't comfort the old marquis, because she couldn't say that he was not wrong against her will.

"If you feel ashamed of them, take them back to Zhenbeiguan so that they can go back to see their relatives in a dignified manner."

The old marquis nodded, "This is what I owe them." ”

"So you have to eat, you have to live well, so you can make up for what you owe them."

The old marquis was stunned for a moment, but still took a bun, "Third child, he has done a lot of things that can't help you, right?" ”

"He's dead."

“……”

"I don't want to mention him again."

The old marquis sighed, "I have made so many merits, I think I am great, but I have not taught my three sons well. ”

Liu Yunxiang put down the soup bowl in his hand, "Don't think about it so much, it's useless to embarrass yourself." ”

Then, they entered Nanzhou, because the relationship between Beijin and Darong eased, and the border inspection was not too strict, so they successfully got out of the customs.

Liu Yunxiang glanced back, as if he had made up his mind, raised his horsewhip, and continued to hurry.

After meeting with the soldiers who went first a hundred miles away, the group walked towards the north pass of Darong Town.

After walking day and night, he walked for three days and three nights, and finally arrived at the mass grave outside the north of the town.

Hundreds of soldiers who escaped death looked at the graves, which stretched for miles, and they couldn't see the end at all.

And because of the invasion of wind and sand, these graves are about to be razed to the ground.

"Why don't you send their souls home while they are still out of the gate?" A soldier asked with a trembling voice.

Under each grave is a soldier of the Northern Expedition, who died on the battlefield, in the fight with the enemy, in order to keep the world peaceful.

But after the sacrifice, he was buried in mass graves, and most of them did not even have tombstones.

Looking at these graves, many soldiers cried out, sad and angry, grief, helpless, aggrieved, and all kinds of emotions.

The old marquis walked through every grave, walked to the twilight, and finally stopped in front of a grave, which had a tombstone.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the tombstone tremblingly, "Dig him out, he is not qualified to be mourned with all the soldiers!" ”

Liu Yunxiang and Liu Yunheng ran over and saw that the tombstone was written with the name of Xie Zixun, that is, Uncle Houfu.

"Master Hou......" Liu Yunheng wanted to persuade the old Master Hou.

"If you don't dig, I'll dig!" Saying that, the old marquis began to dig the soil with his bare hands, "He is a sinner, a sinner through the ages!" ”

An old man with white hair, whose back was no longer straight, knelt on the ground, digging his son's grave with a sad and angry face.

The soldiers couldn't bear it, but looking at so many graves and thinking about the hardships they had experienced, they lowered their heads one after another, and no one went up to stop them.

Waiting until sunset, the old marquis dug out a pair of bones.

He looked at his eldest son, and wept, but he threw him out of the grave and threw him in front of the graves, and then he knelt down and kowtowed three times to them.

"I can't stand you, I Xie Wucheng hereby swears that I will bring you heroes home in my lifetime and return your innocence!"

The wind rose, and the voice of the old marquis drifted to every grave and drifted far away.

Liu Yunxiang let out a long sigh, and then heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, turned his head to look, but saw dozens of figures on horseback coming from the afterglow of the setting sun.

She covered her eyes with her hands and saw that it was General Wei Tian who was leading the way.

They're really back!

Soon the horse stopped, Wei Tian led his subordinates to run over, his eyes wandered around, and finally fell on Liu Yunxiang, and then stepped forward to salute.

"My subordinates meet the princess!"

Liu Yunxiang smiled: "General Wei, there is no need to be polite. I asked you to send you a letter, you have received it, these are the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army who are in Beijin, please settle them properly. ”

Wei Tian nodded, then looked at the old Hou Ye, stepped forward and saluted: "Hou Ye, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's great that you can come back alive." ”

After rushing for days, after exhausting his strength with grief and anger just now, he looked depressed at this time, and only saluted Wei Tian with his fists.

"By the way, the princess, let's enter the customs quickly, the little boy and the little lady are waiting for you in the pass!" Wei Tian looked at Liu Yunxiang and said.
