Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 256
At the end of February, Chang'an.

The ice and snow are melting, the weather is gradually warming up, and there is still a little taste of reunion in the year that is not far away.

A piece of recruitment was posted in the imperial city, and the soldiers who had been reunited with their families for a short time were recruited into the army and were about to embark on the road to the Western Expedition.

In the alleys of the imperial city, the elders of the family raised their wine bowls high, and the arched old figure tried to stand upright, and shouted loudly.

"As a brave son of the Tang Dynasty, grandson, you must fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield, show off our military power in the Tang Dynasty, and don't shame our Guanzhong land!"

"Drink this bowl full and hit the road!"

The strong young man saw clearly that the grandpa in front of him had tears in his eyes, his arms were trembling, and he was holding the rim of the bowl and sprinkled the fermented rice.

The corners of the mouth were tensed, and the sore eyes were suppressed, solemnly picked up the wine bowl, and poured it down without blinking.

Bang.

The pottery bowl was slammed to the ground and shattered. The young man knelt down on his knees forcefully and kowtowed to the elders who were seeing him off.

"Don't worry, I was born in the Tang Dynasty, and I will die as a ghost of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Father, mother, grandpa, sister, I'm leaving! Wait for the good news of my return home!"

In just two sentences, the young man turned around abruptly, and crawled to the waiting horse at the entrance of the alley, whipping the horse and never turning back.

"Brother, woo woo woo..."

The immature figure cried out with a cry, and was about to chase after him, but was held down by the elderly man, holding his slender arms tightly, allowing the young figure to shake him tremblingly.

Old tears flew from the eye sockets in an instant, and flowed down the vertical and horizontal wrinkles on the cheeks.

"My son, my son!"

The mother cried out heart-piercingly, and rushed towards the young man's back, as if she was going to lose her soul in an instant.

The big hands covered with calluses embraced the running figure, and comforted the crying wife with tears in her eyes.

"My son is here to make contributions, why cry!"

The man with red eyes glanced at the figure who disappeared in the alley, his trembling lips twitched, and he choked up a curse.

"Things that can't speak, what lives and what dies."

"People who are close to the prime of life don't know how to speak."

Holding the limp body in his arms, the man waved his arms.

"They all go to the back room. It's not the court that comes to beat the drum and tie the red flowers. What's so interesting."

After saying that, he pursed his lips, and the swirling tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.

Looking at the scene in front of him from a distance, Li Xian's eyes were a little sour, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"What's the matter? Can't bear the parting of life and death?"

The figure in front of Huan Shou's chest slowly leaned against the carriage, glanced leisurely at the figure who was stunned by the curtain, and asked aloud.

Quietly lowering the curtain, Li Xian rubbed his red eyes.

"The spring is cold and the sand is blowing in the wind. It's blinding."

Cheng Chumo easily saw through such an excuse, he smiled and leaned over to put Li Xian on the shoulder.

"Such a scene will be staged in every corner of the entire imperial city today. With your sentimental heart, I don't know how many more times you will cry."

"If that kid Qin Huaidao comes, maybe you two will be able to hold each other and cry for a day."

To be honest, this is the first time for Li Xian to experience such a scene. After all, in the peaceful age of later generations, who needs to face such a parting of life and death?

The sword is ruthless. In this era of cold weapons, people are destined to die in this uninhabited foreign land. Maybe once the imperial city is parted, heaven and man will be separated forever.

Seeing the lonely figure, Cheng Chumo let out a long sigh and leaned back to the carriage again.

"If the young people of our generation shrink back today, tomorrow it will be our own heirs who will bite the bullet."

"It's like this in this world. Some debts, if you don't pay them back, they will fall on the next generation."

Cheng Chumo suddenly said such words, Li Xian was somewhat surprised and murmured.

"Where is the time in this world that is quiet and good, it's just that someone carries the burden for you to move forward, and it has never changed through the ages."

"I just didn't expect you kid to have such awareness."

Cheng Chumo smiled and waved his hands.

"This is what my father said when he met a wise man, so he became the devil king of Wagang Village."

"After the army was defeated, everyone said that the surrender was to be beheaded. He didn't believe in evil, but he was afraid that his younger generation would be stabbed in the back. He set a precedent and defected to His Majesty."

"If it weren't for this sentence, I'm afraid that I, Cheng Chumo, would still be alive and dead. When I joined the army, my father said this sentence, and he threw down the burden in the front hall without saying a word, so I wrote it down. .”

The two chatted about the past, and Li Xian seemed to be more open. The sound of crying and throwing bowls outside the window was just as Cheng Chumo said. A sense of responsibility.

Cheng Chu raised his head silently, looked at the figure opposite, and suddenly remembered something.

"Tomorrow is the time for the army to go out, are you ready?"

Spreading his hands indifferently, Li Xian glanced at the worried figure.

"Okay, everything is fine."

"I brought two sets of cotton shirts, even if I don't change them, at least I won't wear them badly."

"The wine was refilled into the wine bag. For this thing, I personally went to the clothesmaker's house that I remember best to sew."

"I also prepared a piece of soft armor. Princess Changle sent me a set of Mingguang armor. It takes care of both the inside and the outside. I just stand and let the barbarians stab me. I don't want to blunt a dozen scimitars. I'm afraid it won't hurt me."

The former things were considered to be in line with Li Xian's disposition, but the latter ones really shocked Cheng Chumo, his eyes stared like copper bells, and he stuttered a bit when he spoke.

"Ming... Mingguang armor?"

"Just... just like that... sent you off?"

"Did you know that apart from the cronies beside His Majesty, not even those generals who have beheaded enemy generals on the battlefield have ever owned this thing?"

Li Xian didn't expect to have such a big background, so he spread his hands.

"No way, I was also pushed into the battlefield. If His Majesty doesn't give you some benefits, why don't you let me go as a human shield?"

"Besides, even if I use my body to push a city gate, it's a bit difficult. Special protection, shouldn't it?"

It was the first time for Cheng Chumo to see such a brazen person, he just reached out and got what many generals dream of, and he even pretended to be innocent and worthy of a beating.

"Yes! Yes!"

"Who told you to be today's son-in-law? If you want to do something, even if we make a triumphant return, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the gate of the imperial city."

Sometimes when he sees Cheng Chumo's cynical face, Li Xian finds it funny.

He shook his head slightly, ignoring these sour words.

"Then what kind of surprise are you talking about? Why didn't you bring it with you? Where are the buckets of saltpeter?"

Regarding Li Xian's novel inventions, Cheng Chumo would not miss any of them. Seeing that Li Xian didn't mention them, he asked about them.

Li Xian waved his hand and sighed softly.

"I brought it too."

"However, it lacks a major artifact, so I'm afraid it won't be seen on this battlefield."

"There aren't many brimstones in the Central Plains. When the time comes, go to the west and try your luck there."

Standing up and leaning against Li Xian, Cheng Chumo's curiosity was completely aroused.

"What the hell is it, so mysterious? For food or for use?"

"Black powder, something that can destroy the world."

"Uh... let's talk about the elixir, I think it might be more practical."
