Iron Dynasty

I'm coming!

On the official road in Qingzhou City, a woman's voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked to the north, and the Qingzhou Army was walking towards them in neat steps.

The people who came this time included men, women, young and old, and there were also many young women, and the famous girls from the Great Yu Kingdom rarely came out to walk around.

But there are not so many rules in the common people's family, not to mention this is a big happy event, and naturally no one cares.

When the Qingzhou Army saw so many people approaching each other, the soldiers in the team immediately raised their chests and walked over one by one.

But behind the serious appearance, the soldiers' eyes swept secretly on the girls in the crowd. Some girls and soldiers met their eyes, and they all blushed and turned away.

When the Qingzhou Army came, the people immediately surrounded them. They stood on both sides and took out the steamed buns from the baskets and stuffed the fruits into the hands of the soldiers.

Xiao Ming rode in the middle of the team and was protected by the soldiers.

With so many people gathering, they need to consider the safety of King Qi.

The guard Niu Ben looked at Xiao Ming with a vigilant look at the people around him, preventing someone from mixing in with the people and being detrimental to Xiao Ming.

Looking at the beaming people on both sides, Xiao Ming smiled. He never thought that the people would greet each other. This kind of honor warmed his heart, and it was worth it to defend Cangzhou City with all his life.

Luo Xin and Niu Ben walked in front, as if they were tied with wooden sticks behind their backs, and they waved to the people on both sides from time to time.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly, these two treasures had to fight over everything.

But the joy was also mixed with the sound of crying.

Some people frantically searched among the soldiers, and the people who found their son were very happy, while those people who learned that their son died in battle immediately collapsed to the ground and cried.

My son, my son!

A mournful cry reached Xiao Ming's ears. He turned his head and saw a woman in her 40s and wearing a tattered sackcloth, who was weeping under the support of a girl, and the girl's tears kept falling.

When she saw Xiao Ming, she suddenly shouted, Your Highness, Your Highness!

Stop! Xiao Ming shouted at this time, and the advancing Qingzhou Army stopped immediately.

Niu Ben dismounted along with Xiao Ming and came to the front of the girl. In the marching team, Xiao Ming was surrounded by stars like the moon, and he was easy to recognize.

The girl seemed to have seen this and shouted.

His Royal Highness! Seeing Xiao Ming approaching, the girl was about to kneel.

At this time, Xiao Ming gently dragged the girl's clothes and said, No gift, are you looking for this king?

The girl wept and said, His Royal Highness forgives my sins, the little girl has no choice but to do so. My mother and I have just learned from our fellow villagers that my brother died in the battle. At this time, we have nothing else to ask for, we just want to know where my brother is buried. , it’s good to go to pay homage every year.”

Xiao Ming felt a sting in his heart. At this time, the crying on the side of the road gradually increased, and he said, Don't worry, girl, the soldiers who died this time have all been brought back. They died in battle in a foreign country. How could this king let them go? The soul returns to its homeland.

Thank you, Your Highness, this little girl has nothing to ask for. The woman cried.

At this time, a commoner said: Oh, poor, the only son died, and now there are only two mothers and daughters left, how are you going to live these days?

When this word reached Xiao Ming's ears, he felt even more uneasy.

The current victory was exchanged by the soldiers with blood. At this time, how could he let the dead soldiers also miss them on Huangquan Road.

He said, My lady is righteous, and I admire it in my heart. The family members of the soldiers who died this time can go to the government office to receive silver taels of pension. Don't forget this girl. If you have any other wishes, you can also tell me about it.

No need, Your Highness. The girl lowered her head and slowly left with the help of the crying woman.

With a sigh, Niu Ben said, Your Highness doesn't have to be too sad, fighting is always going to kill people, and slowly His Highness will get used to it.

When he said this, Niu Ben's tone was full of vicissitudes, and there was deep pain in his eyes.

He also walked step by step, and countless soldiers came and went. How many of his former comrades are left?

Looking deeply at the mother and daughter who had left, Xiao Ming sighed deeply. Now he can repay these people so that they can live a good life in the future.

When they stopped, the smiles on the faces of the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army also disappeared. The cries that sounded from time to time reminded them of their dead comrades in arms. How could they be immersed in victory now.

At the gate of the city, all the officials in Qingzhou went out of the city to greet him, with Pang Yukun standing at the front.

Seeing Xiao Ming, Pang Yukun said, Congratulations to Your Highness for the great victory in Cangzhou, the class teacher has returned.

Xiao Ming's mood was a little heavy because of what happened just now. He said, It's inconvenient to talk here, let's go to the Governor's Mansion.

Pang Yukun was stunned for a moment, seeing that there was no smile on Xiao Ming's face, thinking that something was wrong, so he nodded.

Niu Ben and others went to the Governor's Mansion with Xiao Ming.

At this time, Pang Yukun said, Your Highness, what's wrong? Did something happen to Cangzhou?

No, Cangzhou City is indeed defended. Xiao Ming's words made Pang Yukun heave a sigh of relief.

Then Xiao Ming said: What this king and you are talking about is the follow-up pension issue. The pensions of the soldiers who died in battle must be paid to the family members. Don't go wrong, otherwise this king is only your question.

Xiao Ming told him such a happy day, and Pang Yukun also scratched his head a little.

After Xiao Ming said this, he left the Governor's Mansion.

At this time, Niu Ben said to Pang Yukun: His Royal Highness has experienced such a cruel war for the first time, and it is inevitable that some emotions will be touched in his heart, but what he said is right, the follow-up issues of the fallen soldier must be handled properly, otherwise it will be cold for the soldiers. heart of.

Pang Yukun understood, I see, I understand.

The army returned to the city and returned to the Qingzhou camp after resting.

At the same time, the news of the Great Victory in Cangzhou also flew to all parts of the Great Yu Kingdom along with the newspapers.

On the day of Cangzhou City's victory, Zhan Xingchang sent the news to Chang'an.

Now this news is in the hands of Xiao Wenxuan.

Cangzhou Victory, beheading 100,000 savage soldiers, Bei Shan fled in embarrassment. Xiao Wenxuan almost finished reading the letter with trembling hands, he murmured excitedly: After decades of weakness, once King Qi defeats his madness today, I am fortunate to be the Great Yu, and fortunate to be the Royal Family.

He immediately called Xiao Huangmen and said, Quickly spread the news of the Great Victory in Cangzhou, hahaha, I look at the faces of the ministers.

Xiao Huangmen had never seen Xiao Wenxuan so happy before, he hurried out and outside the palace gate, he rode his horse and shouted Cangzhou Victory, King Qi beheaded 100,000 barbarians!
