After the armistice, the prince of the East China Sea led the troops to escort the westward march into Qili County, Ouyang Xuan led the cavalry to greet him, and 2,000 people camped in the county town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the westbound road, Gao Yuan lay in the car, and Hua Yue carefully took care of the diet and medicine, feeding him like a baby, helping him out of the car in the morning and evening, and breathing and channeling his qi in a no-man's land. The injury gradually improved, sitting cross-legged with his palms intersecting, and the sun rose and the moon set his mind. Washing and changing clothes, Mei Ruoxue is still the same, after a long time, the blush on her pretty face has quietly subsided, and Gao Yuan can only accept it silently.
The internal injuries and broken bones healed one after another, and when she got out of the car, she talked and behaved the same as before, but when she inspected the camp, she never touched the swords, guns and arrows again. Li Changgong and Li Zihui's standard team, marching and camping always close to the Chinese army, the two took turns on duty, Gao Yuan scolded a few words at first and then was too lazy to say, but the brother's affection has been imprinted in his heart.
Broke the military camp into the city, so that Huqing allocated two silver on the same day, led the county officials to reward the soldiers, the reward was far more than usual, the family letter was sent to the soldiers at the same time, three years of lonely hanging behind the enemy, forgetting life and death in the bloody battle, opening the family letter to read the concern of relatives, the camp was full of crying and laughter, the rest of the life after the catastrophe, is happy or sad to know.
Tears wet the robe, but not a drop of the letter was stained, dozens of letters chatting about a few crosses, dozens of paintings outline the growth of a three-year-old girl, on the letter in his hand, the little girl is running on the grassland, next to a line of crooked words: Dad, go home to help Shadow catch the pony.
Dozens of paintings turned over and over in his hand, unconsciously, a few hours have passed, the moontop treetops, Hua Yue walked to the house several times, stopped for a while and quietly left, that night Gao Yuan did not go to practice martial arts and practice qi, that night the lights in the house were not extinguished, that night the heart has flown back to the distant grassland, to accompany the daughter who has never met.
"After breaking the barracks and hanging the enemy alone, in three years tens of thousands of enemies were killed, more than 1,000 soldiers were killed in battle, and the whole battalion had no soldiers who fled in fear, and there were no soldiers in the whole battalion who were not injured, and I beg Your Majesty to pardon his sins and allow him to choose his own career. It is really difficult to be qualified for the post of a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, let alone leading the army to fight, and the name of the army can not be disgraced, so I implore Your Majesty to dismiss the minister from his military post and accompany the remnants of the army for the rest of the year. ”
Gao Yuan sent a notebook to wait for an echo, and received an order from the military headquarters every few days to disband the broken barracks, and the soldiers were indignant when they heard the order, and the blood-stained battle flag was fought for three years, and a military order was to erase the battle record. Mei Ruoxue reported the situation of the camp, and Takagaki ordered the whole camp to assemble and ascend to the general platform for the first time after being injured.
"Brothers, when we go to Tokai County, who can believe that we will come back alive, including the naval army, two thousand brothers died in battle, and many died because we blocked the arrows. The dead cannot be resurrected, and the living should not seek death easily. The broken barracks were disbanded, and it was just time to take the silver two home, and think about the wives and children at home. After you leave, I will also take off my military uniform, my daughter is three years old, and she has never seen her, and she still thinks that her father is a winning hero, but she doesn't know that she has been injured and lost her cultivation, a waste person who is difficult to wield a long knife and often falls off her horse. ”
"I stayed to urge the local government to build tombs and erect monuments for the brothers who died in battle, and the bones were difficult to transport. ”
Gao Yuan untied the saber, held the handle of the knife with both hands and cut the rope, Mei Ruoxue hurriedly caught the falling military flag, held it with both hands and handed it to him, Gao Yuan threw down the knife, held the military flag and got out of the platform, leaving the soldiers of the broken army with a thin back.
Officials from the Ministry of Military, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs set up a table and began to deal with the aftermath. Continue to serve in the army, and be assigned to each battalion at one level. Choose to retire and pay a generous settling-in allowance. For those who participated in the tragedy of the teleportation station, the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued an additional pardon order, and the past will never be investigated, if the local government dares to make things difficult, enter Beijing with the pardon order, and go to Cuihua Palace to find the county lord of Qinghui.
"Longbow, what should we do?"
"Get out, don't pull Lao Tzu and you together, the Tao is different. You go to the military headquarters to report for duty, and you will definitely be given a captain. Lao Tzu was afraid of death and retired. ”
Li Zihui silently walked to the military officials, as brothers who lived and died together, he knew why Li Longbow retired, and the reason why he asked was to do his best, but he knew that it was more useful to stay in the army. When he saw Mei Ruoxue standing in front of the table of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Li Zihui stopped again, looked at the military tent in his eyes after a while, and strode towards the military officials.
"Divide the remaining taels of silver to the homes of the dead and wounded brothers, and before going on the expedition, the king will allow me to act cheaply, and I do not need to report to the military headquarters. ”
Mei Ruoxue stood at the table and didn't move, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you want to know my choice?"
"Go get busy, go home together. ”
The military flag fell, the soldiers were scattered, the camp was still there, the sentry post had been replaced by unfamiliar soldiers, the elite infantry of the three standards, and was ordered to protect the broken military captain, and there was still no response to Gao Yuan's resignation.
Even with scolding, there were still more than 300 people who were unwilling to leave and had no home to go back to, so the senior sister let them stay. ”
Li Changgong sat on the corner of the table, kept tapping the table with his fingers, Gao Yuan had to throw down the book in his hand, since he was injured, Li Changgong has become the boss, avoiding Hua Yue often coming to bully, Mei Ruoxue only smiled and did not interfere after seeing it, the smart girl had already seen that he was relieving Gao Yuan's boredom, and even Hua Yue could not let him smile, only when he quarreled with Li Changgong, he did not hide his true emotions.
"The old man didn't hide idle, he accepted hundreds of people, three uncles who didn't make it, trained more than 100 people, nearly 1,000 disciples, hehe, except for someone who was crippled, the minimum cultivation was in the samurai. ”
Gao Yuan gritted his teeth angrily: "Wait for me to recover-" Li Changgong knocked his fingers on his head, and scolded with a smug smile: "I don't have the strength to talk less, listen honestly, so as not to ask for hardship." ”
"There is no shortage of silver, the battle is tight, the war horse pill is sold quickly, the chamber of commerce has made a lot of money, except for you and me, everyone has dividends. Don't ask, alas, it's annoying, it's not the right way. ”
"Borrow the instructor's money?"
"Mei Ying has already returned. The two of us donated all the dividends to the standard camp, and we should think about it. Speaking of business, there are rich people who have mental law cheats, and there are several martial arts sects in charge, and the senior sister is about to start a sect. I thought that Lao Tzu retired to protect you, hehe. ”
Gao Yuan was overshadowed, spears and horses fought on the battlefield, and he died all his life to prepare for the establishment of the sect, but in the end, he couldn't help at all, and became the most useless disciple of the Remnant Soldier Academy.
"It's not too late for you to cry after Lao Tzu leaves, it's good to cultivate for the sake of being wasted, senior sister is worried that no one will teach her disciples, you practice with them, hehe, waste utilization, cultivation will not be forgotten without cultivation know-how." ”
Protesting will only lead to beatings, the hero does not suffer the immediate loss, Gao Yuan sits upright and listens to the arrangement, as long as he can contribute to the remnants of the army, he doesn't care about the seniority, and there is no way to take Li Longbow at the moment, although he knows that he will push his job and find a free hard worker.
Mei Ruoxue secretly investigated the people left, Gao Yuan pretended not to know, instructed the fist and foot knife techniques every day, and taught the introductory heart method at night, only moving his mouth and not his hands, and tired Li Changgong half to death. The heart method of the Soldier War Sect is special, and you have to channel the meridians one by one, Gao Yuan often speaks energetically, Li Changgong has been paralyzed to his side, and his cultivation can barely break through the acupoints, so that the new disciples can cultivate, and he is eager to guide dozens of people a day, Gao Yuan can't stop it, and so more than 300 people understand the introductory heart method, and he slept for four or five days before getting up.
Either the origin is suspicious, or the qualifications are insufficient, Mei Ruoxue refused more than 40 people to enter, and each person was sent away with a sum of silver. Gao Yuan wanted to ask when he would enter the door several times, but he held back when the words came to his lips, testing Li Changgong's mouth, but he thought it was Gao Yuan who came in the door, with a lewd smile on his face.
"Daddy, the shadow is coming. ”
The immature child's voice sounded outside the house, Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then threw away the book, rushed out of the house and looked at the little girl, the black school soldier uniform was sewn together, a red ribbon was tied on her head, standing in the courtyard and smiling at him, Yan Ning and Hua Yue were silent beside them, eager to see how the father and daughter who had never met recognized each other.
"Mother, it's not as good as you. ”
Moon Shadow took small steps and ran forward, Takagaki took a few steps and slowly bent down, holding her daughter tightly into her arms, tears dripping down her face, Moon Shadow resting her head on her chest in dissatisfaction, and smearing her clothes all on.
"It's my mother who won, and Shadow thinks her father will laugh. Wiping away the tears from his face with his little hands, Moon Shadow pulled the corners of his mouth to make his father smile, and picked up his daughter, Takagaki showed a long-lost smile, and Moon Shadow slyly shouted to her mother: "I won, my mother said, I will cry when I am happy." ”
"Shadow, go, go horseback riding. How many things to say about the reunion after a long absence, Hua Yue wanted to take away the moon shadow, she hugged Gao Yuan's neck and shouted, "Dad take the shadow away." Smiling at Yanning, Gao Yuan picked up his daughter and ran to the stable, Dugu Ying came to Qili County, and rode on the dark clouds and snow during the battle.
Yan Ning looked at the backs of the father and daughter, and laughed and scolded in a low voice: "If you don't speak, leave without speaking, the father and daughter have a virtue, and they will raise a little white-eyed wolf for three years." Hua Yue pulled her up and walked into the room, and the two of them looked at each other a few times and smiled.
Gao Yuan's qualifications are mediocre, his cultivation is not easy to come by, he has been practicing hard since he was six years old, and suddenly he has nothing, there is no sadness on his face, and the bitterness in his heart is indescribable, but he wants to comfort Huayue and a few people. After settling down in Qili County, Hua Yue quietly went to the grassland, if there is anyone in the world who can wake up, except for his daughter Yan Yueying, I am afraid that there will be no one else.
"Horse, walk slowly, and wait until your father is injured before running. ”
Gao Yuan led the reins of the horse around the camp, the dark clouds seemed to understand the little master's orders, and walked steadily with small steps, the sergeants from Qili County, accustomed to the heroic posture of the county lord's horse, never imagined that the violent dark clouds would be as obedient as a puppy, it seems that the legend in the camp is true or not, and the captain of the broken military academy is the real master of the dark clouds and snow.
Moon Shadow was tired of playing, fell asleep in Gao Yuan's arms, picked up her daughter and returned to the house, Hua Yue had already left, Yan Ning was busy cleaning up, and the husband and wife had nothing to say after a long absence. Spread out a thick mattress for his daughter and cover a thin quilt, Gao Yuan hugged his wife into his arms, and held up a piece of the sky alone in the grassland, Yan Ning's heart was no less than half a cent less than him.
On the fifth watch, his wife and daughter were still asleep, Gao Yuan got up quietly, and under the starlight, he practiced the introductory boxing method taught by his grandfather when he was a child, and he was meticulous in every move, as if his drunken grandfather was still supervising, the night wind and starlight seemed to hear the whispering, and some people were unwilling to sink.
"It's time for Lao Tzu to start a family. ”
Li Changgong was half lying on the roof in the distance, no matter how he tried his best, it was difficult for his brother to cultivate from scratch, who would have expected the arrival of his wife and daughter, a few words of fairy tales, and he practiced the introductory kung fu. Thinking of starting a family, Li Changgong was worried again, Yu Wenjie would definitely protect Dugu Ying, he would not join the Remnants Academy, resigned from the military, and just had the title of lord, and wanted to marry the woman of the Founding Marquis Mansion, who knows if people would agree.
"If you want to start a family, if you can't cultivate as a martial artist, don't hurt Jie'er. Practice archery!"
"Senior sister, I just broke through the general, it's too far away from the martial artist. ”
Flying up and kicking, Li Changgong dodged and dodged, jumped off the roof and slipped away. I didn't expect to be able to dodge, Hua Yue stood on the roof with a smiling face, he was not lazy in practicing martial arts, he just lay on the roof, clearly protecting Gao Yuan in secret, but he didn't know that Mei Ruoxue was hiding not far away, and he listened to himself clearly, and secretly learned it to Hua Yue.
