Hearing the familiar voice, the two Ye brothers turned their heads and saw Ye Yuanzhi walking into the room with a dark face. Ye Yaoguo hurriedly knelt on the ground, while Ye Yaoming pulled the wound when he got up and lay down again. Ye Yaoguo turned around hurriedly. return
"Second brother, how are you?"
"Don't you want to live? You still dare to move!" Ye Yuanzhi said coldly.
"Father, I...?" Ye Yaoming looked pale, lowered his proud head, and said nothing! In the past, Ye Yaoming prided himself on being noble and noble, and his temperament was such that he knew he had his own side but no one else!
And this defeat caused Ye Yaoming's self-esteem to be severely frustrated, and he was so embarrassed!
"Shut up!" Ye Yuanzhi shouted loudly
"It's okay to lose so ugly. Don't you even think about fighting back to earn face again? Just lie down and recuperate, even if you just eat and wait for death, death will be the last!" Ye Yaoming lay on the bed and looked at his own face quietly. The father didn't say a word. He knew his father's character very well, that is, only the winner has the right to speak. It would be best for him not to speak now. If he loses, anything he says is an excuse!
"You just came back, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right?"
"Know...what?" Ye Yaoming had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Zhao Xuanyi has led 10,000 Qilin guards to kill all the Japanese pirates in just one day. Now he is waiting for the imperial edict to be conveyed to return to Beijing to receive the reward!" Ye Yuanzhi glared at Ye Yaoming and Ye Yaoguo
"There are obviously 10,000 people, but look at what Zhao Xuanyi did? How did you do it?"
"Father...?" Ye Yaoguo was about to speak when his arm was grabbed by Ye Yaoming. Seeing Ye Yaoming shaking his head slightly, Ye Yaoguo closed his mouth and did not continue talking!
Ye Yuanzhi looked at his two sons who had just been defeated, and with the good news from Zhao Xuanyi, he was so angry that he could boil a pot of water. After looking at it for a long time, he finally sighed, unable to say a word, and turned around to leave. .
"Father, walk slowly!" The Ye family's tutoring is still good. No matter how amazing Ye Yuanzhi is, the two brothers hurriedly expressed their respect to Ye Yuanzhi!
Ye Yaoguo stood up, his face full of unwillingness
"Second brother, we can't all be blamed for this, right? We were rushing all the way, and when we got to the battlefield, we didn't even have time to rest before launching a sneak attack. It was a villainous trick. Why were we scolded?" Ye Yaoming waved his hand.
"After all, we lost, because we had no experience, and because we were not as despicable as the other party! They are not from the Central Plains after all, so we can't use the Central Plains fighting method!" Ye Yaoming sighed with annoyance.
"We have killed so many elite soldiers, how can we have the dignity to talk nonsense?" Ye Yaoguo stood aside and remained silent. If we lose, we lose!
After Zhao Xuanyi received the imperial edict to return to the capital, his face was not very happy. Zhao Xuanyi felt very depressed because he did not attack the city personally. His Qilin Guards seemed to be killing people, but accidentally killed two thousand people. Zhao Xuanyi always felt that this battle was a victory. The person is not himself at all!
For so many days, Zhao Xuanyi has been unable to hold on to this strength. Now that he has received the imperial edict to return to Beijing and be conferred, Zhao Xuanyi feels even more guilty!
Shen Wei knew Zhao Xuanyi best and strolled in front of Zhao Xuanyi.
"Young Master, this is not your fault. This is war. The brothers were all red-eyed at that time. At this critical moment, who would have thought that those beasts would resort to such a trick?" Zhao Xuanyi held the imperial edict in his hand, Shaked his head slightly
"Even if I don't think much about it, I have killed the fathers of so many children, the husbands of so many women, and the sons of so many old people. They... will not forgive me!"
"That's not true. We saved them. They won't retaliate for kindness, right?" Even with Shen Wei's enlightenment, Zhao Xuanyi couldn't be happy. Only at this moment did Zhao Xuanyi understand what war means without victory. of!
"Brothers, are you ready?"
"Everything has been sorted out. We will return to Beijing just waiting for your order!" Shen Wei said.
"Let's go! It's useless for me to stay here!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he stood up. Zhao Xuanyi rode Aoxue and led the remaining less than nine thousand Qilin Guards to the outside of the city. After so many days of reply, most of the people had returned to their homes. As for food, Zhao Xuanyi had ordered that according to the head of each family Evenly divided!
The streets and alleys have been cleaned, there is no dirty blood, and there are no tragic broken limbs. The land is still yellow, the sky is still blue, but the city no longer has the laughter and laughter of the past. There is no such thick smoke and smoke!
The army walked slowly on the street, but people kept pouring out on both sides of the street. They seemed to know that Zhao Xuanyi's army was leaving. Although the court had sent new garrison troops, they saw this group of strangely dressed soldiers leaving. They seemed to have lost something in their hearts!
Zhao Xuanyi kept his head down along the way. He did not dare to raise it up for fear of seeing the cold and accusatory eyes of others. No one knew better than him. For him, this battle meant winning the war and losing the people!
Why am I not a common person? It's just that if you have a noble status, if you follow the others into the city, maybe you can see their weapons and know the real situation, and you can save many lives!
Zhao Xuanyi kept his head lowered and did not dare to raise it until he left the city. After arriving outside the city, Shen Wei suddenly drove his horse to Zhao Xuanyi's side.
"Young Master, look!" Shen Wei pointed to the back and said. Zhao Xuanyi turned around and saw thousands of people standing outside Jinghai City. Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, what are they doing?
To scold yourself? Or are they here to avenge their relatives and beat themselves? While Zhao Xuanyi was guessing, thousands of people suddenly knelt down and shouted loudly, led by an old man in his sixties.
"Thank you, General Zhao, for saving us from the clutches of the enemy and allowing us to no longer endure torture. Thank you, General Zhao!"
"Thank you, General Zhao...!" Thousands of people shouted loudly, and then kowtowed together! When Zhao Xuanyi saw this scene, he was extremely moved. His extremely cold heart was softened by the enthusiasm of the people in Jinghai City. His eye circles instantly turned red. With a flick of the reins, Aoxue quickly ran back to the city gate. Zhao Xuanyi turned over and dismounted. Help the old man up.
"Old man, please get up, everyone, please get up. I can't bear your kneeling. I deserve it!" Zhao Xuanyi's voice became trembling.
The old man stood up slowly and patted Zhao Xuanyi's hand.
"Child, those who fight against your army include my son. They fight against you to protect us!"
"And you killed them and captured the city to protect us. You are not wrong. It is those Japanese pirates and beasts who are wrong. How can you feel guilty? Without you, we would no longer know whether we would live or die. If we relied on the soldiers of Huhao Army Camp, , I'm afraid this little old man's life has been sealed!" Zhao Xuanyi was very surprised. He didn't expect this group of people to be so open-minded. What he said made Zhao Xuanyi very relieved. The knot in his heart that had been tortured for so many days was also opened at this moment. !
"Old man, our Ming Dynasty's territory cannot be interfered with by others. I am leaving today, but if there are difficulties in the future, you only need to send a small three-inch note to Piaoyun Pavilion in the capital. After I receive it, I will lead the army to quickly Come to help!" When the old man heard this, he showed a kind look, stretched out his wrinkled and calloused hands, and patted Zhao Xuanyi's shoulder.
"The general is a good man. If that day comes, the old man will definitely not be polite!"
"Sure, I hope that won't happen one day!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"Hahaha...!" Everyone laughed, yes! No one wants that day! Zhao Xuanyi mounted his horse for the second time, led all the Qilin Guards, and left Jinghai City amidst the farewell sounds of the people!
With the old man's words, all the haze in Zhao Xuanyi's heart dissipated and his mood became much better! The mood of returning home in triumph was naturally happy. Everyone was happy along the way. They all talked about having a good meal after returning home. In this era, soldiers can have a good meal of wine and meat. That is simply a luxury!
However, they understood that the general would not treat everyone badly, so they were all looking forward to it. It took ten days in a row to return to the capital. Although there must have been fewer people when they went, there was more stuff when they came back, and they brought back more than 2,000 war horses in total. , all the weapons of the Japanese pirates were brought back, a total of more than 4,000 samurai swords!
Zhao Xuanyi naturally disdains to use their weapons, but this sword is made of fine steel. Taking it back, melting it and making it into a new weapon will save a lot of money. Zhao Xuanyi knows what it means to not be a master and not know how expensive firewood and rice are!
From the east to the west, at least get all the equipment for these 30,000 Qilin Guards! After returning to the capital, all the Qilin Guards asked Tang Tianli to take them back to the military camp. Zhao Xuanyi took Shen Wei, Jinglan and others back to the capital. Instead of going home, he went straight to the palace. After all, he had to accept the title!
But as soon as he entered the capital, he saw people already standing on both sides of the capital's roads. Seeing his return, everyone cheered loudly, and some kept throwing flowers at him. Zhao Xuanyi was shocked by the scene in front of him.
This kind of picture could only be seen on TV before, but now I have experienced it myself. This feeling is different!
"Welcome General Zhao back to Beijing...!" the people kept shouting. Zhao Xuanyi smiled and clasped his fists, kept congratulating passers-by, and waving to the people from time to time!
Qu Kui and Qu Yang were even more happy. When they saw the flowers thrown over, the two adults smiled like children. Qu Kui looked at the petals falling on his body and was very happy. The two brothers seemed to have never enjoyed such a high level. honor!
Just when Qu Kui was happy, he looked at the ceiling and was about to say something. He heard Qu Yang shouting from the side. Looking carefully, Qu Yang's face was pierced with several small holes by a flower.
"Who threw the rose?" Everyone laughed, and Shen Wei came to Jinglan's side
"Did you see that? I told you it would be fun to follow the young master!"
"It's not bad!" Jinglan felt that most people would never be able to enjoy such a beautiful moment in their lifetime, right?
Zhao Xuanyi was walking when a man in the crowd shouted
"General Zhao, when are you going to Zuichun Tower? Brothers have missed you!" Zhao Xuanyi's expression instantly froze, and he looked at the man who shouted, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Brother Shen, you made that bastard tonight!"
"Understood!" Zhao Xuanyi came to the palace wearing armor. The moment he stepped into the hall, he felt a familiar feeling and familiar faces. Zhao Xuanyi looked around and did not see Ye Yaoming. Zhao Xuanyi felt funny in his heart. This bastard should Could it be that you haven’t returned to Beijing yet?
And why didn’t you see Zhu Yuejun? Shouldn't she be there? Zhao Xuanyi knelt in front of the palace
"General Zhao Xuanyi, please see your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!" Zhu Chufeng smiled happily.
"General Zhao, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Xuanyi slowly stood up!
"General Zhao, your performance this time is very good. In just one day, you captured the two cities that were taken by the Japanese pirates. You demonstrated the military power of our Ming Dynasty, demonstrated the morale of our army, and let those wishful thinking foreigners know that our Ming Dynasty It is inviolable!" Zhao Xuanyi clasped his fists
"It's all thanks to the Emperor's great blessing!"
"Hahaha!" Who doesn't like such a talkative minister?
"Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"The general doesn't dare. It's just that this time Jinghai City and Lanyu City have endured the war, and the local people are suffering terribly. The general wants to exchange the reward given to the general by the emperor into food, and then give it to the people of the two cities!"
"Okay!" Zhu Chufeng shouted
"General Zhao is really a thoughtful person! Immediately pass on my emperor's order to prepare a thousand dan of food and send it to Jinghai City and Lanyu City! To solve the urgent need!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly, and then looked at Zhao Mingqing beside him, meaning, how did his son do in this matter?
Zhao Mingqing showed a happy smile and said nothing!
