Chapter 100: Bad News
The news of the great victory in the Western Regions quickly swept the world, and the Ge Luo soldiers retreated to Yancheng, and their momentum was deeply affected by this defeat.
The fighting spirit of the Ge Luo soldiers is no longer high, and if it weren't for the giant army retained by Ge Luo, it would definitely not last long.
But even if there were more than 100,000 soldiers in the city with the giant army sitting in the town, it would only last for three months.
The three-month siege battle finally ended with Ge Luo's defeat and withdrawal from the Wenwu Empire.
And Princess Ling'er of the Ge Dynasty had been sent back to the imperial capital as early as when the army was defeated.
And the next day, Ji Zhan received news that Ge Luo's army was searching for Xiaobao at the bottom of a cliff, and Ji Zhan also sent soldiers and horses to find it.
For this reason, the two sides also had friction at the bottom of the cliff, but Xiaobao's body was still not found.
Ji Zhan, who was standing above Yancheng, looked at the familiar sword in his hand, sighed deeply, handed the sword to the young general with a cold face beside him, patted him on the shoulder and ordered, "The New Year is coming, you send this sword back first!
The young man nodded heavily, dragging his heavy body and slowly leaving.
In the area under the jurisdiction of Shifang City, in one of the small prefectures, it has not snowed for an unknown number of years.
This year's snow was quite unusual, as if celebrating the final expulsion of Ge Luo.
Outside a mansion, at the gate stood a beautiful woman, dressed in a fluffy coat, rubbing her hands together and slowly exhaling hot air from her mouth, trying to ward off the cold.
The beautiful woman has been waiting for three days, and since three days ago, she has been seeing many soldiers returning home for the New Year on the streets.
The beautiful woman was also quite expectant, reaching out to caress the slightly bulging lower abdomen, with a look of anticipation on her face.
"Stinky Xiaobao, I didn't bring back so many letters to you, see how you explain to me when you come back!"
Snowflakes were falling in the sky, and there were no pedestrians looking down the street, only snow everywhere.
"Niang, don't wait, Xiaobao knows where the house is, come in and eat!"
There was a call from inside the mansion, and the maiden hurriedly responded, and reluctantly glanced at the end of the street before taking steps towards the mansion.
As soon as the girl entered the mansion, a few soldiers appeared in front of the street, wearing armor, and at a glance they knew that they must be generals in the army.
Snow covered their bodies, their faces were stained with hoarfrost, and their steps were heavy, as if each step required a great deal of effort.
Their footprints were imprinted on the snow, and when they finally reached the gate of the mansion, they all looked up at the plaque on the mansion.
The four big characters of the Huang family's mansion came into their eyes, and everyone sighed softly.
Stepping on the steps and stepping into the mansion, they heard a surprise shout, "Young Master Yan Jin, Brother Mo and Second Brother Mo, are you back?"
Xiao Zhao greeted them with great joy and looked behind them.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the main hall, and the little Bao Daddy helped the young lady to walk quickly towards everyone.
"Aunt Huang, Uncle Huang!" Yan Jin exclaimed, but there was some bitterness in his voice.
Xiao Bao's father smiled at Yan Jin and beckoned, "Are you all back?"
The mother looked left and right, but she didn't see Xiaobao's figure among the crowd, and an ominous premonition came to her heart.
Xiaobao's father and mother didn't see Xiaobao in the crowd, with an anxious look on their faces, and asked them, "What about Xiaobao? Why didn't I come with you?"
Yan Jin lowered his head, the atmosphere was a little heavy for a while, and the little treasure father looked at the red army in Yan Jin's hand, and his face, which was originally full of smiles, had turned gloomy.
"What's the matter, you guys are talking, but don't be like this, scare Aunt Huang!"
Xiao Baoniang's words were slightly vibrased, and Yan Jin took a step forward with the red army in her arms, her head still lowered.
Xiao Baoniang was so frightened that she took a step back, and her body was about to collapse to the ground as soon as she saw it, but fortunately, the young lady on the side was quick and hurriedly supported the crumbling figure.
The mother and daughter supported each other, tears slowly flowing from their eyes.
Xiao Bao's father took the Red Army and gently stroked the sword body, "What's going on?"
Yan Jin clasped his hands, raised his head, and looked at the little treasure father and mother in front of him, "Little treasure, fall off the cliff!"
As soon as the words fell, the mother and daughter, who were originally supporting each other, sat on the ground together, their faces were like ashes, and Xiao Bao's father couldn't help but take a few steps back, shaking his head frantically and said, "No, this is impossible!"
Yan Jin's eyes were red, his body trembled slightly, and he lowered his head again.
Xiao Bao's father stepped forward, grabbed Yan Jin's arms, and his hands trembled slightly, "Where is the corpse?
"I waited under the cliff for a long time, but I couldn't find Xiaobao's body!" Yan Jin replied in a trembling voice.
"How long has it been? I'm going to look for it, and I'm going to see people alive and dead to see corpses!" asked the little father excitedly.
Yan Jin sighed, "It's been more than three months now, and I've been looking for it for more than three months!"
"My son, how can you bear to let your mother kiss a white-haired person to send a black-haired person!"
Xiaobao, how can you bear to leave us? You haven't seen your child born?
"Your second elder's day is mourning! It is better to arrange a mourning hall for General Huang as soon as possible, so that he can rest in peace as soon as possible! We are willing to guard the spirit of General Huang!"
Tang San looked at the second elder like this, and he was quite sad, but the matter could not be delayed.
Xiao Bao's father glanced at the strange man, waved his hand and refused, "No! Even if there is no corpse, then Xiao Bao may still live in this world!"
"Then if General Huang is still alive, why don't you go back to the army or here?" Tang San shouted, hoping to bring him back from fantasy to reality.
Xiao Bao's face was still firm, and he walked quickly in the direction of the backyard, and when Xiao Bao Niang saw this, she whispered to the young lady beside her, "Quick, let's keep up!"
The girl nodded in agreement, picked up Xiao Bao Niang, and walked slowly to the backyard together.
Yan Jin and the others looked at each other, although they didn't know what Xiao Bao's father was going to do, but they still followed up.
In the imperial capital of the Wenwu Empire, in this huge palace in the center.
The emperor in a golden dragon robe was sitting on the dragon chair, with a smile on his face.
Outside the hall, a figure suddenly stepped in, bowing his body and walking towards the emperor with small broken steps, even if the steps were fast, there was no sound.
Holding the dust in his hand, he whispered to the emperor who was flipping through the folds with joy on his face, "Your Majesty! General Ji Zhan is already waiting outside, do you want to invite him in?"
The emperor put down the fold in his hand, and his face became more and more joyful, "Wow, my general has returned triumphantly, please come in quickly!"
The old eunuch swept the dust, straightened his body and shouted out of the door with his sharp voice, "Xuan~ General Ji Zhan is here!"
Hearing this, Ji Zhan shouted, stepped into the hall, walked quickly in front of the emperor, crouched on the ground and arched his hand, "Ministers Ji Zhan, knock on the emperor!"
The emperor laughed and said, "General Ji returned triumphantly this time, what reward do you want, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"It's all up to the emperor's will! But the minister still has something important to report to the emperor!"
"Oh, what's the good news?" asked the Emperor, looking puzzled.
Ji Zhan smiled bitterly, if he didn't die, it would be a happy event, but now......
Ji Zhan thought so in his heart, his face couldn't help but become a little heavier, and he replied in a sad voice, "The biggest hero this time is not me, but the descendant of the Huang family, Huang Zhijun!"
"Oh, the Huang family, the Huang family you are talking about, but the Huang family?" the emperor asked anxiously.
Ji Zhan nodded, and the emperor was so excited that he stood up, and couldn't wait to order, "Quick, where is he now, bring it in and show me!"
Within the jurisdiction of Shifang City, in the Huang family's mansion, Xiao Bao's father walked to the open space in the backyard, and Xiao Baoniang patted her mother's hand.
The mother let go of her hand, and Xiao Bao Niang walked briskly in front of Xiao Bao Father, and the two glanced at each other and nodded to each other.
Xiao Bao Dad turned around and turned his back to Xiao Bao Niang, and Xiao Bao Niang made a profound gesture with his hand behind him, which was so fast that everyone present could not see it clearly.
Even though all of a sudden, the momentum on Xiao Bao's body skyrocketed, and a terrifying coercion swept towards everyone, making him bend down.
Xiao Baoniang stretched out a hand and drew a few gestures to everyone in the air, and everyone returned to normal, but the shock on their faces still did not dissipate.
The momentum on Xiao Bao's body has reached its peak, and everyone in the entire county is overwhelmed by this momentum.
Xiao Bao Niang quickly dodged and returned to everyone's side, Xiao Bao Dad held the Red Army, gesturing in the air, where the sword blade passed, there were some cracks left in the air, and it slowly closed.
"Martial Venerable is strong, you can tear the space with a swing of your sword!" Xiao Bao stared intently at Xiao Bao Daddy, who was wielding sword moves in the field.
"What?" As soon as these words came out, Tang Shan and the Mo family brothers exclaimed in unison.
Only Zhong Yi on the side stared at the little father in the field with a look like a little fan brother.
Little Bao Dad shouted, and the golden light that had just swung his sword and floated in the air quickly poured into the Red Army, and Xiao Bao Dad waved the Red Army and pointed it at the sky.
The golden light on the Red Army's sword rushed into the sky, turning into a mass and floating in the air.
Xiao Bao Dad lightly threw the Red Army forward, the Red Army floated in the air, Xiao Bao Dad quickly interlaced his hands, and said angrily to the Red Army in front of him, "My son is missing!
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Bao's father commanded the Red Army to fly high into the sky and stab at the golden light.
When the blade of the sword pierced into the golden light, the golden light instantly turned into countless paths, and swept towards all directions at an extremely fast speed.
The Red Army slowly fell from the sky, and Xiao Bao's father reached out to grab the Red Army, and stood with his sword to look at everyone.
And the young lady in the crowd covered her mouth and stared at her little father with a look of surprise, never thought that her father-in-law would be so strong.
A woman in the county looked at the golden light in front of her, and her face was a little puzzled, this momentum was too powerful, I didn't expect that there would be such a strong person in this poor and remote place!
With a look of determination on her face, the woman leaped high and flew in the direction of the golden light.
