Chapter 163: Fulfillment
Murong Zhongyong immediately repaired a letter, asked the imperial court for help, and personally led troops to aid the Western Regions. and immediately sent someone to ride a fast horse and go straight to the capital to ask the emperor for troops.
A few days later, news came from the capital, ordering Murong Zhongyong to enter Beijing on the same day to resume his life.
After receiving the news, General Murong took a few servants to ride fast horses into Beijing, met the emperor and waited for the imperial court to order, so that he could lead an expedition to the Western Regions.
Entering the capital, Murong Zhongyong saw a scene of prosperity, with a forest of markets and passers-by dressed in clothes.
He couldn't help but sigh that now the Western Regions are tight, but in the capital there is still singing and dancing, the market is prosperous, it seems that people in the world have their own troubles and sorrows. I don't know how many people are displaced on the battlefield in the Western Regions, and they don't have enough to eat.
This time, he dared to ask for his life, since he came for Yuxi and Xiuxiu, if he wanted to talk about it, it was also for his old friend Huyan Liexiong, otherwise he wouldn't want to pick up a knife and gun again and fight the evil enemy. As the saying goes, drunk and lying on the battlefield, you don't smile, and a few people come back to fight in ancient times. I don't know when the day of survival will be.
When Murong Zhongyong thought about it, his expression was a little gloomy, and there was a little sadness condensed on his thick eyebrows.
Not long after, when he arrived at the palace, Murong Zhongyong made a report and entered the main hall.
The emperor stood on top of the court, praised General Murong's loyalty in front of his ministers, and dared to stand up in times of crisis, which should be commended.
For this reason, the emperor rewarded General Murong with a lot of wealth and silk, and added an official to the first rank.
And with this promise, on the day when General Murong returns to the court in victory, he will be rewarded separately.
General Murong thanked the emperor on the spot, bowed three times and bowed nine times, thanked the emperor for his grace and the world, and then received a military talisman and immediately went to the camp to ask for troops.
General Murong led an army of 200,000 troops, prepared all the grain and grass materials, and immediately set off for the Western Regions, passing through Yuxu Mountain on the way, intending to take Yuxi with him and say goodbye to his family.
Although Murong Zhongyong was reluctant to let Yuxi participate, he had promised her before, so he didn't want to break his promise and break his trust with Yuxi.
He was also helpless, after all, Yuxi wanted to save Ruiqi, he was unwilling to disobey Yuxi's intentions, fortunately, he saw that Yuxi was indeed extraordinary, just the trick that was revealed at that time was extraordinary, if you compare, maybe your skills are still under Yuxi.
General Murong smiled bitterly, the corners of his mouth turned upward, his eyes looked into the distance, and behind him were 100,000 soldiers.
I saw that in the queue, there were many swords, neat armor, and the momentum was shocking. The infantry and cavalry formed a phalanx and marched on the post road.
This is the army that is about to enter the battlefield, and from any point of view, it is a group of warriors who are about to die, because after a few months, many of them do not know whether they will be able to escape with their whole body, whether they will stain the yellow sand with the blood of their young lives, or return to their hometowns with their lives.
Murong Zhongyong's mood was low at this time, he fell to the ground, fell into the dust, and shattered under the ruts as the horse's hooves stepped on.
After all, he has fought countless battlefields and knows the preciousness of life, in the battle of red flesh and white blades, General Murong has suffered countless knife wounds, and even on his back today, there are still more than a dozen traces of sword stabbing wounds.
Even at home, no matter how hot the weather was, he didn't dare to take off his shirt and expose his chest and back in front of his family, because the scars that were like insects and snakes were so dazzling that if the children saw them, they really didn't know how they would sting their eyes.
Needless to say, how scared he was of war, even if he was on the battlefield, he dared to ride a war horse on a rampage, but the thought of Yuxi being in the rain of swords, guns and arrows, if her fair and delicate skin was pierced by the blade, would be extremely painful.
After all, Yuxi is his biological daughter, and he was alienated from Yuxi because of his wife in the past, but he was still afraid of putting Yuxi in danger.
To put it bluntly, he, like all parents in the world, doesn't want his children to be harmed in any way.
Thinking of this, General Murong sighed heavily, he really shouldn't have promised Yuxi, if there was an accident in the Western Regions, he might regret it for the rest of his life.
Behind him, the warriors lined up in a neat line, their young faces full of determination, and they looked like they were about to be reviewed, regardless of whether there was a threat of death hidden in front of them.
What kind of danger did they face, a terrifying monster or a bloody massacre?
General Murong had already expected it in his heart, judging from the news he had gotten, Huyan and his son were already aware of the danger they encountered, so they were not sure of winning this expedition, and perhaps in his opinion, this time it might be one of the rare defeats in his life.
But for the sake of Yuxi and Xiuxiu, he plans to fight, he doesn't want his future in-laws and son-in-law to be buried on the battlefield, otherwise her daughter will only be a widow and keep filial piety, which will make Yuxi heartbroken, and it will also make him regret it for life, seeing death and not saving him is not his Murong Zhongyong's character, not to mention that General Huyan is his old friend for many years.
This time, for the sake of family and friendship, he planned to fight to the death, even if the other party was an evil madman, he would personally put the steel knife on his neck.
General Murong looked back at the winding army, gritted his teeth, and lowered his heart, even if it was a hard fight, white flesh and blood, he would beat Gartnu down!
For the sake of these soldiers with high morale, I must not retreat, for Yuxi, for Xiuxiu, for Huyan father and son, I simply fight, I just hope that I can win and return to the dynasty in the future, and put the enemy's handsome flag in front of everyone, so that everyone can take a look, there is no invincible enemy, no matter how terrible the enemy is, I Murong Zhongyong will not be afraid to retreat!
You know, I'm not fighting for gold and silver treasures, I'm not for being promoted to a knighthood, I'm fighting for my daughter and my family!
Their happiness is my hope for the future. I don't want my children and grandchildren to sit on my knees and enjoy the blessings of all people, what a pleasant sight it would be, for that day, this time I am determined.
Yuxi, such a weak woman, has to be desperate to save her sweetheart, and I, a general of the Yasukuni Empire, will retreat and evade all responsibilities, so am I Murong Zhongyong still a man? It's ridiculous!
More than ten days later, the army approached Yuxu Mountain, looking from a distance, you can see the verdant and lush mountains of Yuxu Mountain, at the foot of the peak, scattered with small houses in the fields, that is his hometown, the old scene that comes into view touches Murong Zhongyong's heartfelt feelings.
In a little while he will be able to see his family, this time he will have a good reunion with his family, and then go to the battlefield and fight bloodily.
And unlike previous years, Yuxi has to walk with him to defeat the demon and rescue her future husband Ruiqi.
Murong Zhongyong has acquiesced to Yuxi and Ruiqi in his heart, although the marriage has not yet been put on the table, but he has changed his original mind, this time when he comes back, he wants to fulfill this pair of little lovers, and the other is to put Xiuxiu and Ruilin's affairs on the agenda, so as to complete the two beautiful couples.
