Chapter 652: Ancestors' Will
"Don't thank me, because we're friends—" Lu Jing said with a smile.
The word "friend", Qin Yu remembered what Xiao Tian had said to him before the Battle of Yizhou......
(in recall)......
"Of course I understand," Xiao Tian smiled slightly, "Although I haven't experienced a sea ......of blood feuds, I have friends around me, and I can understand them...... I know that hatred is something you can't forget General Qin, but now that you are returning to the city alone, you can only bring about your own destruction......"
"Don't comfort me here--the Wang father and son killed my whole family regardless of morality, I must use their blood to sacrifice my father's spirit in the sky!" Qin Yu ignored the unhealed wounds on his body and pointed a gun at Xiao Tiandao, "You haven't experienced the pain of your family being washed in blood, you don't know how I feel in my heart, you ...... What do you understand...... Now, I have no desires, no desires, no support, and my Qin Yu's life will only be for revenge-"
However, Xiao Tian's face was still calm, looking at Qin Yu's words that were a little irrational, Xiao Tian continued to say calmly: "I said it, I haven't experienced blood feuds, but my friends have experienced it, and because of this, I have accompanied them all the way...... Jia'er's father was killed by Mo Tianxing, and I never left her, so that she would not be blinded by hatred; Tang Zhan brothers, as the descendants of the Tang family, were even more tragically destroyed by their own father, and it was because of our friends who trusted and cared for him, so that he still had good faith in this world; Li Yuru's parents were stabbed to death by Ao Jing Shitai, and it was our desperate efforts to save her that made her think that there was still hope and trust in life; Huang Ji's brothers were carried away by the revenge of the ghost king's family annihilation, and it was my sister Ying and their help in every way that made him understand that there is nothing but hatred in this world。 It's more important to have love...... These and so on, including the suffering of the Nangong Murong brothers who left home. It was even criticized by others in the world. These people who have experienced hatred are no different from General Qin's experience. But there's one thing they're better than you, you know what?"
"What is it?" When Xiao Tian said this, Qin Yu was a little hesitant.
"Caring for important people-" Xiao Tian's eyes suddenly firmed, "I am their friend, to them, I am an important person in their lives. When I am there for them, I help them, I take care of them, and whether I am happy or sad, I am always there for them - the people who are important. Let them realize that there is more important friendship than hatred in the world. Because I am their important person, their beloved and friend, they will also think of me all the time, this is the faith and hope of living in the world, and they will never be blinded by hatred-"
(In reality)......
"I can gradually understand now, Brother Xiao, what you said......" Qin Yu said silently in his heart, and his bitter expression gradually revealed a smile.
Seeing that Qin Yu had completely figured it out, Murong Ying was also happy for him on the side-Qin Yu finally untied the knot in his heart......
"Wang Xuan is dead. What should we do now?" Tang Zhan didn't know Lu Jing's next plan, and couldn't help but ask.
Lu Jing's expression suddenly returned to seriousness, and said seriously: "Wang Xuan corrected the law on the spot, and the crime of rebellion was over." There's nothing left for us to do...... Compared to this, what awaits us will be a more serious problem - we will wait to return to the camp. The order will take effect immediately, and we must hurry back. Prepare for the replanning of troop allocation...... The news of Wang Xuan's death is coming out, I think at this time. General Chang Yuchun may have arrived at our camp, and we don't have time to stay here for a little longer...... Fool, I'll report to General Xu Da in a while, let's go back quickly-"
"I know......" Tang Zhan nodded, and then said to Qin Yu and Murong Ying behind him, "Brother Qin, Sister Ying, there is nothing for you here, let's go back together-after all, you have also been assigned important tasks in the division of the army......
Hearing this, Murong Ying's face couldn't help but turn red, because she remembered the test her brother had set in front of Qin Yu.
Murong Ying naturally had no objections, but Qin Yu hesitated for a moment on the side, and then asked softly, "Sister Jing, I ...... Can I stay in the city a little longer......"
"Huh?" Looking at Qin Yu's hesitant eyes, Lu Jing seemed to think of something, so he asked tentatively, "Could it be that Brother Qin, do you still have a knot in your heart that has not been untied?"
"I want to find the answer...... Qin Yu said with a bitter smile, "I have been determined to serve the court since I was a child, but now that the court has destroyed my family, now I have to go together with you and oppose the court...... I still have a lot of things to figure out, and I'm in a messy mood, and I want to ...... I'm trying to find out in this city......"
The dust had already settled, and now Qin Yu was still swaggering about "allegiance" to the imperial court, Tang Zhan was a little unhappy, so he replied: "Hey, why are you still mentioning this matter? Aren't you already determined in front of us, in front of Sister Ying...... Now that the all-round conquest to the north is imminent, you still don't have the heart to completely surrender, Sister Sakura, she has entrusted her life to you, even Brother Murong, why are you still ...... at this time?"
"Brother Qin......" Looking at Qin Yu's hesitant eyes, Murong Ying also had an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
However, Lu Jing seemed very calm on the side, and she was not in a hurry. Seeing Qin Yu make such a request, Lu Jing smiled slightly, and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, if you haven't figured things out, then think about it first, it's better to feel at ease than to submit to our army with an uncertain heart...... Brother Qin, you are a person who knows right from wrong and knows the truth, we all believe in you, and when you really find the answer you want, you will definitely be able to make an unwavering choice...... You are a 'divine general', majestic and invincible on the battlefield, you will not regret anything you do, and you will have a clear conscience......"
Seeing that Lu Jing trusted herself incomparably, Qin Yu couldn't help but move in his heart, and then smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and silently said to Lu Jing: "Thank you, Sister Jing......"
Since Lu Jing said so, everyone no longer objected. So when Qin Yu stayed in Yizhou alone, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing prepared to go back to the camp first. Even Murong Ying did not follow Qin Yu this time, but went back with Tang Zhan and them - because she knew Qin Yu and her own knot. It must be unraveled by himself......
The war in Yizhou finally stopped, and the people in the city heard that Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to conquer the south and the north to save the people of the world. The people in the city were overjoyed and experienced the pain of a hundred years of tyranny and oppression. Now the good days of the generations are finally coming......
And this war, the deeds of Qin Yu, the descendant of the Qin family, are also spread throughout the city, and the people in the city have respected the generals of the Qin family for generations......
Qin Yu walked down the street with a gloomy face, dressed in the armor he usually had, but it was covered with blood and dust. The face and hair were also a little unkempt, and the people who wanted to thank the generals of the Qin family did not recognize it at the first time, and they were still immersed in the atmosphere of "too peaceful and happy......
Qin Yu dragged his heavier steps and slowly walked the familiar way home...... It's just that this time, Qin Yu has no home, and winning the battle and saving the people is a matter of singing praises and accomplishments, but Qin Yu can't be happy at all......
Qin Yu arrived home. But I don't have a home anymore...... When they arrived at the familiar door, the Qin family's compound had already become a dead and silent ruin. That night, a fire from Wang Xuan's father and son burned the place to ashes. He came alone with a gun to save him, but it was too late, and that night became Qin Yu's lifelong pain...... Every time I see or think about the scene in front of me. Blood hatred will swell in Qin Yu's heart, but now that the enemy Wang Xuan is dead, the great revenge has been avenged. Returning to this ruin again, what was left in Qin Yu's heart. There is only a haze of pain and lingering hesitation......
Qin Yu dragged his heavy steps and slowly walked into the ruins and ruins that had been burned by the fire...... It was full of ruins, and although it was long gone, the bitter smell of burnt could be heard everywhere. The outline of the courtyard had long since been dispersed, and Qin Yu could only rely on his memory to grope his way forward...... His father was plotted by Wang's father and son, Qin Yu didn't know where his relatives' bodies were, and his heart was full of sadness, he wanted to do his last bit of filial piety, but he didn't have the opportunity......
But after all, he is a manly man, and he has never cried in the pain in his heart, no matter how painful he is in his heart, Qin Yu also silently endures it in his heart...... Before he knew it, Qin Yu walked through the entire courtyard at the door—a place where he had played and practiced since he had been a child, but no longer existed—and came to the ruins of the Probably Mourning Hall, which was once a place to worship the ancestors of the Qin family.
Of course, Qin Yu knows that Qin Shouyue, the ancestor of the Qin family, the "Divine General", has made countless meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and was finally awarded the title of non-commissioned officer, and has been blessed by the court for generations, and the relics of the Qin family are also one of them...... However, just as Qin Yu was entangled in his future life ambitions and groping for the ruins of the mourning hall, Qin Yu inexplicably turned over a notebook that had not been destroyed.
Qin Yu looked at the title of the notebook, and was shocked in his heart, the content recorded on it was actually the life deeds of his ancestor Qin Shouyue. I didn't pay attention to it when I was a child, and the merits of my ancestors were only known from my father Qin Shitong...... Qin Yu only knew that his ancestors had been loyal to the imperial court and had no rebellion, so his volunteer since childhood was to serve the imperial court. Now that he has turned to this undamaged book, Qin Yu's heart is inexplicably moved, and he can't help but want to read one or two.
Of course, Qin Yu did just that, his face was originally melancholy, but he went through the past of his ancestors in the book, and his expression became more and more surprised-Qin Yu seemed to have learned something, and his heart suddenly panicked......
"How can this be...... Qin Yu seemed to be inexplicably shocked, and said in his mouth, "My wish since I was a child is to inherit the will of my ancestors and eventually be loyal to the imperial court, but who knows...... Who knows...... The will of the ancestors is not loyal to the imperial court......"
Qin Yu's self-talk was like an instant blow to himself, looking at the contents of the book, Qin Yu's expression swayed......
......
Qin Shouyue's ancestral home is Yizhou, Shandong, and he was a military attache during the first emperor's period, commanding and guarding the counties of Yizhou, and rebellious foreigners did not dare to attack. Because of its arm strength can pick up thousands of catties to travel thousands of miles, it was praised by the world as a "divine general" and was personally canonized by the imperial court......
How could he go out in a war, his wife died tragically, and Qin Shouyue was very sad......
When he returned from the war, he not only mourned the soul of his wife, but also hated all wars in the world and vowed not to go to war again......
The imperial court ordered Qin Shouyue to go north and expel foreigners, but Qin Shouyue openly disobeyed the holy decree because of his oath, and was finally dismissed......
In his later years, although he was not an official of the imperial court, he used his life's wealth to sympathize with the local people, and the people of Yizhou respected him......
......
After going through the deeds of his life, Qin Yu seemed to be shocked in his heart, his original opinion of his ancestors. It seems that it has been deviated, and the will that he made since he was a child. It's also different......
"The wish of the ancestors is not to serve the court; Because of his hatred of the war in the world, the first prince openly disobeyed the imperial court, and was even dismissed from the official ......" Qin Yu held the remnant in his hand and trembled slightly, "In fact, the wish of the first prince is to benefit the people of the world...... To stop fighting as an oath and to be sympathetic to the people in his later years, this is the true aspiration of the ancestors to future generations. It was not a single-minded loyalty to the imperial court...... If today's turmoil is unstable, and the Mengyuan court is tyrannical and collects the people, if my heart is sent to the people of the world, can I really be loyal to such a court......"
Thinking of this, Qin Yu seemed to ache the knot in his heart all of a sudden, his eyes gradually became firm, he stood up and said unswervingly: "That's right, I want to inherit the true will of my ancestors and do the civil and military things." For the people of the world...... Now that the Qin family has suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters, I, Qin Yu, will inherit the bloodline of the Qin family and continue the wishes of my ancestors for the people-"
With a firm belief, Qin Yu picked up the silver spear in his hand again. turned around and prepared to leave the Qin family's compound, which had become a ruin. Only this time, Qin Yu's heart did not grieve and hesitate anymore, but instead of it. It is the light and faith that re-sees the hope of life......
Silver Gun Sunset Bow, Overlord Roaring Sky Armor. "Divine General" Qin Yu walked straight to the door of the ruins in a state of "rebirth...... And yet look up and see. Outside the compound, there were actually people of Yizhou standing on the streets to celebrate -- the people of Yizhou have respected the Qin family for generations, and the people of Yizhou were full of pity for the destruction of the Qin family; however, when they heard that the descendants of the Qin family accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang in their crusade against traitorous ministers, conquered Yizhou, and once again saved the people from fire and water, Yizhou was regarded as a heroic deed......
"Look, that's Qin Yu, the descendant of the Qin family-" "After decades, the Qin family finally has another great hero for the benefit of the people-" "Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to fight in the south and the north to save the people, and the Qin hero went out with him, and it was not only Yizhou that was rescued, but he also had to lead the army to fight and save the world-" "Although the Qin family was brutally poisoned by the Wang family and his son, the bloodline of the Qin family is still there, no matter how it rises or falls, the descendants of the Qin family will always be our great heroes-" "Yes, the great hero! The great hero ......"
Respectful cheers soon sounded below, and all the eyes of the people were focused on Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was flattered for a while, but more than that, he sighed infinitely in his heart: "Ancestor Gong, decades ago, you helped the people of Yizhou and won the hearts of all the people...... Now, the younger generations not only swore to avenge the family, but also rescued the people of Yizhou and saved the world...... In his later years, the ancestor sympathized with the people in the city with his wealth, so I, Qin Yu, as the bloodline of the Qin family, could not stop. Father, father, rest assured, I will definitely carry the legacy of the Qin family and go down this road to help the world - and I will not walk alone, but with my brothers and friends who share weal and woe......"
Qin Yu's heart knot was completely untied, and now he had put aside all his grievances and found the direction of his life......
Yizhou City Gate......
Qin Yu said goodbye to the people in the city, but the people still said goodbye in the middle of the road, and even shouted the praise of "big hero" along the way. Xu Da, who was discussing military affairs at the city gate, saw it and couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
Qin Yu walked up to Xu Da, apparently preparing to say goodbye and return to the vanguard barracks. Xu Da was ahead of the curve, and the preface said: "General Qin, it seems that you are quite popular among the people in the city...... However, the battle in Yizhou is over, and Tang Zhan Lu Jing's strategy has also been successful, you have received the marshal's order to divide the army, do you know what to do next?"
Qin Yu calmed down and said silently: "I know, the last general will work with General Murong Ying to conspire with General Xu Da to crusade against Jinan, and then the last general will live up to the general's hopes and take the city...... But before that, can General Xu Da agree to the matter of the last general?"
"Speak-" Xu Da's words and deeds have always been straightforward and never rigid.
Qin Yu glanced back at the people in the city, remembered the deeds of his ancestor Qin Shouyue, so he wanted to follow suit and said: "Before the Yizhou War, the Wang family and his son coveted the relics of the Qin family, and they did not hesitate to kill the last general's family...... Now that Wang Xuan has been removed, Yizhou has gotten rid of the shackles of Meng Yuan, and the last general hopes that the general will send people to guard Yizhou, and distribute all the relics and property of the Qin family to the local people...... The people have suffered from the war, and the Qin family has become a ruin, and the last general, as a descendant of the Qin family, wants to inherit the will of his ancestors and do something for the people of Yizhou——"
Xu Da looked at Qin Yu's firm eyes, and when he heard the words of his heart to send the people's ambition, he couldn't help but admire, so he agreed: "Okay, General Qin has such a heroic heart to save the people, this general must be an adult!"
Qin Yu saw that the big thing had been decided, and a calm smile appeared on his face...... (To be continued.) )
