Chapter 192: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

The weather over the main city cleared, and white clouds bloomed on the horizon.

After many days of deliberation, the Hujia army was ready to leave for the capital.

General Huyan set up a garrison in the main city to garrison the city defense to calm the people and the people's hearts, so he ordered the rest of the men and horses to return to the capital on the same day.

The brigade drove out of the city gate, and the people on both sides of the road saw each other off.

Ricky rode his horse and was silent, indifferently watching the group of men and horses walk out of the city gates.

Perhaps he was still immersed in the grief of losing his beloved wife, and despite the kind words and persuasions of General Huyan and General Murong to comfort his broken heart, he was still a little unable to extricate himself.

In fact, General Murong's mood is not easier than Ruiqi's, you must know that Yuxi is his youngest daughter, and the pain of losing her daughter made General Murong drink for several days in a row, numb his sad mind, so as to alleviate the remorse in his heart.

General Murong thought that he should not be careless and bring Yuxi to the Western Regions, and naturally he would not lose Yuxi in this vicious battle.

But the matter has come to this, the end is irreparable, and General Murong can only bury himself in self-blame and use strong wine to anesthetize his mind to alleviate the pain.

Riich stayed closed for several days, constantly recalling all kinds of things she had with Yuxi, until she felt weak all over her body, and then fell asleep.

Now that the army has decided to leave the Western Regions, Ruiqi wrapped Yuxi's clothes into a bag, put them in a suitcase and put them on the car, and decided to return to Yuxu Mountain to bury a clothed mound, in order to mourn the once vivid and lively Yuxi.

But Riich knows that Yuxi is still alive in his memory, and has not withered like a late autumn flower, just like a flower bathed in the spring breeze.

Maybe she was in the distance, standing on a hillside, raising her eyes in the direction of Yuxu Mountain, watching Ruiqi and his party leave here.

But Riich knew he would never see that pretty face again, even though she was still so obsessed that she couldn't help herself.

Everywhere the army passed, puffs of dust rolled up, blurring the outline of the main city more and more.

General Huyan knew that he would probably never return to this place in this life, although here he had fought the last battle of his career, and although he had completely defeated his opponents, he had suffered heavy losses, especially since his beloved son had lost his most beloved partner.

Where I once passed, small graves were still piled up on the side of the road, where the people and soldiers who died in the battle were buried.

The ravages of the war left them dead prematurely, unable to see the end of the war, and bound the robbers in cages one by one.

The houses in the distance had already burned out in the firelight, leaving only the ruins and ruins lying in the wilderness, until they were later submerged in the wildly growing weeds.

For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, everyone who participated in the battle was so lucky, feeling that it was not easy to survive.

After experiencing the slaughter of the war, he was left with only fear and hope of surviving, looking forward to the continuation of life after the war.

General Huyan rode in front of the team, his eyes were deep and stern, he didn't want such things to happen in the Central Plains in the future, but he also understood that this victory was the last goodbye to his career as a horse.

But Riich will continue, and he will fulfill his responsibilities and carry on the family's business and glory.

But how to go on with Ruiqi's life path in the future, and what the result is, General Huyan has no certainty in his heart, the world is unpredictable, and who dares to prematurely determine whether the future will be prosperous or the future will be bleak.

General Murong still had a painful expression in his eyes, and some of the pain made him feel unbearable, although he had completed an extremely difficult task, the final consequences were unbearable for him.

Although after he returned, the imperial court would reward him for his achievements in turning the tide, but he lost Yuxi in the battle.

Such an ending was not what he wanted, but God gave him mercilessly and made him suffer the pain of grief.

General Murong lowered his head and looked at the ground, the gray hair on his ears and temples seemed to be much more than last night, the lines on his forehead were deeper, and the bloodshot in his eyes didn't seem to have receded.

Along the way, the atmosphere was extremely dreary, and many soldiers were still reminiscing about the earlier battle scenes, and the bloody scenes that almost made them feel chilling could not help but be a little chilling.

No one wants to participate in such a war, and many people hope to return home with meritorious deeds and commendations before the expedition.

Now that many of the companions have lost the news, it is unknown whether they have been buried.

The war left many people without old friends or compatriots, leaving behind the fear of this unusual war.

No one would have expected that the enemy would be so terrifying, not even an ordinary opponent, before coming to the Western Regions, that it was almost terrifying.

Now that he has escaped by luck, he can't help but be grateful to his family for burning incense for him and seeking a chance to survive.

Along the way, almost no one talked about the disaster they had experienced, just buried their heads in the mud mountain road under their feet. It was as if there was a constant calculation of how many steps I had to walk before I could return home.

The soldiers were eager to return to their hometowns immediately, to be with their families, and to celebrate their chances of survival with a glass of wine.

There may be some people who plan to bid farewell to their careers in the field from now on, and plan to bury themselves in the countryside in the future, spend the rest of their lives with their wives and children, and never want to step on the war horse again, pick up swords and guns and drink blood and yellow sand.

But this time they eliminated the most terrible enemy in the world, and also won the peace of the Western Regions for the next hundred years.

In the hearts of many people, it is worth rejoicing that they know what an difficult and dangerous war they have won, and since then they have made great achievements and returned to their hometown.

General Huyan rode his horse to General Murong's side: "Brother Murong, this war has made you lose too much, Yuxi is an amazing girl, worthy of being a heroine among women, I am ashamed of Ruiqi!"

General Murong glanced at Huyan Liexiong, and his throat rolled: "Don't say it, Brother Huyan, Yuxi is loyal to the country and has no regrets in his death." ”

After speaking, he looked into the distance with deep eyes.

General Huyan glanced at Murong Zhongyong, and then said: "It was Yuxi who saved everyone and saved Ruiqi, I thank you and Yuxi on behalf of everyone, we will remember you for having such a good daughter for the rest of our lives." ”

Murong Zhongyong's eyes turned even redder, and his voice was hoarse: "Actually, I shouldn't let Yuxi come to the Western Regions, she is a girl, she has never seen the world, and she doesn't know anything on the battlefield, so it's strange if she doesn't have an accident." ”

General Huyan felt even more ashamed: "I know that Yuxi came here to save Ruiqi, I, as a father, sincerely feel sorry for Yuxi, it was I who didn't protect Yuxi, and I want to apologize to you, it's all my fault and Ruiqi." ”

General Murong glanced at Huyan Liexiong gratefully: "How can I blame you, nothing will happen on the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, not to mention encountering an opponent like Gartnu, as well as the evil spirit Canon, can you protect it?" Alas, I was careless, let Yuxi play a petty temper and bring her here, I am really sorry for my deceased wife, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father at all." ”

General Huyan pondered for a long time and sighed: "When we return to Yuxu Mountain, we will put Yuxi's clothes into the coffin, and bury her in a high coffin, which can be regarded as comforting her spirit in the sky." ”

General Murong said in a low voice: "It's only like this, I haven't even found Yuxi's shadow, that cliff is very deep, there is no way to find it, it's almost impossible to see the end." It's terrible that she's gone without a trace. Yuxi is still young, in the prime of her youth, she passed away, I really regret it!"

Speaking of General Murong's voice, he choked up, and he was almost about to cry.

General Huyan stretched out his hand and gently patted General Murong's shoulder: "When Yuxi was alive, she was so cute and loved by thousands of people, God was jealous of her." It's a pity, I don't even know how to express it, Richie has always liked her, and wants to officially marry her when she goes home, but this time, alas, I really don't know what to say. ”

After saying that, General Huyan also sighed, and couldn't say any more.

The two war horses walked side by side, and the two partners who cooperated tacitly on the battlefield walked silently, stirring in their hearts with wordless pain, remembering the lost relatives and friends.

Perhaps they never want to set foot on this land again, and in order to defeat a terrible enemy, they have lost so much and paid an immeasurable price.

Ricky has been silently following behind, and Black Lightning seems to be able to understand the mood of his master, and he is also stepping on a rhythmic pace. It carries the depressed mood of its owner, and gradually moves away from this battlefield until it returns to its hometown and reunites with its family.

The Western Regions gradually moved away from the sight of the Hujia Army, the boundless, continuous mountains slowly disappeared on the horizon, and the land of the Central Plains was in the distance, and you could vaguely see the verdant fields far or near lying on the flat land, and beyond the fields were patches of green mountains, and a peaceful and peaceful pastoral beauty was close in front of you.

After a long journey of more than ten days, the Hujia army returned to the Central Plains and gradually marched towards the capital. This victory should be regarded as the last cooperation between General Huyan and General Murong, they have won countless tough battles in their lives, and the last one is a memorable result, and it also wrote a glorious stroke for General Huyan's career as a horseman.

From then on, Huyan Liexiong will be relieved and return to the field to enjoy the pastoral life. As for how this last battle left in his heart, Huyan Liexiong couldn't say anything. After that, he was even more reluctant to mention it in front of everyone, he knew what had happened there, and what they had lost, especially the pain left for his son Huyan Ruiqi.

Even at that time, they didn't know that Ruiqi and Yuxi had secretly worshiped heaven and earth behind their backs and became husband and wife.

After that, Ruiqi was even more reluctant to mention this matter, for a long time, as long as he thought of Murong Yuxi, he would look very sad, avoid everyone's sight, and return to the study to sit alone for a long time, silently thinking about his thoughts.
