After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Chapter 560: Sword Pointing to Shuozhou

The funeral procession stayed at the New City Gate for a stick of incense.

Many people whose family members had sacrificed their lives at the West City Gate, whose flesh and blood had merged with the soil, began to burn paper money on both sides of the road.

The flames jumped and wisps of green smoke rose up along with some suppressed but some shrill cries.

The Yunzhou soldiers who returned from the expedition had wounds on their bodies and sorrow in their eyes.

He Yunyan kept wiping the corners of her eyes, choking with sobs, "The government is ashamed of Yunzhou and the people of Yunzhou!"

The aide's throat felt as if it was clogged with a ball of cotton, and it felt sore and swollen.

He traveled far and wide to study since he was young, and visited almost all the states and counties of the Great Zhou.

In the entire Great Zhou, Yunzhou is unique, and the people of Yunzhou are also unique.

If it were someone from any other state or county, he would have probably run away long ago.

Gu Nanxi, Wang Buxi and others were carrying the coffin.

Yan Tongchu was not in good health, his lips turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and did not move.

There is a saying in the Zhou Dynasty that during a funeral, the coffin cannot fall to the ground. If it does, the deceased will not be able to leave in peace.

Gu Nanxi waited until the time was almost up before signaling the team to move forward.

They passed through the west gate and continued north.

Outside Fuming Town, about a mile away from the market, many pits have been dug.

Gu Nanxi drew a circle here, and after some renovations in the future, it will serve as the cemetery for the heroes of the entire Yunzhou.

There were so many earth pits that you couldn't see the end at a glance.

At the very front, there stands a huge stone tablet with names written on it.

These names were counted by Wen Yu with the help of many people.

This list will also be published in the latest issue of Yunzhou Weekly.

Each family looks for their own tombstone, and lets the deceased return to dust to the sound of suona.

Gu Nanxi led Su Yunyan and kowtowed three times in front of Old Man Cui’s grave.

Then, Gu Nanxi led all the officers and soldiers of Yunzhou to salute the Cemetery of Heroes!

The whole ceremony ended when the sun set.

The dead are gone, and the living must continue to live.

Yunzhou was in a state of disrepair and the people had no time to grieve.

They rested their heads on the tombstones and expressed their longing and sorrow to their loved ones.

This was the night they allowed themselves to let their sadness flow.

When dawn comes, they will rebuild their homes with their own hands.

The eastern sky gradually brightened, and dawn was slowly revealing a peaceful, contemplative brow.

Under the projection of sunlight, layers of black veil of night were lifted, and the vast grassland and standing figures gradually emerged in the darkness.

Gu Nanxi put on a layer of armor over his linen clothes and mounted his horse.

Brush brush!

The 10,000 selected Yunzhou soldiers also put on armor, tied white cloth strips around their waists, and rode on war horses.

They moved in unison, emitting murderous aura.

The people in the cemetery looked confused: "General, where are you going?"

Haven’t the Tartars been driven away?

Gu Nanxi smiled calmly at the people: "I will go and seek justice. You can stay in Yunzhou with peace of mind. When I am not here, Lord Wang Buxi will be in charge of many affairs of Yunzhou."

Aunt Geng, who was standing at the front, seemed to understand something.

She rushed to Gu Nanxi, pleading in her eyes: "General, you have made such a great contribution, even the emperor... wouldn't dare to do anything to you! You don't need to fight for us!"

The others also understood that the general was going to seek revenge and avenge them!

Madam Wu also squeezed in front of Gu Nanxi and knelt down: "General, I am also very angry. I wish I could let those treacherous people suffer our pain! But, General, we have to endure it! The soldiers have just experienced a great battle, and Yunzhou is short of food..."

Madam Wu burst into tears.

Of the five sisters who died, she was the only one left. How could she not hate them? !

But since it concerns Yunzhou, I have to swallow my hatred!

"Yes, General, you are our backbone. If something happens to you, what will we do in Yunzhou?"

"The general is willing to do this for us, we are very satisfied! This revenge... this revenge..."

Aunt Wu really couldn't say anything, so she just let it go.

Yan Tongchu rested in bed for quite a few days. In order to help him recover, he was not informed of many Yunzhou affairs.

Seeing that the general was preparing to march south, Yan Tongchu's scalp went numb. He grabbed Wang Buxi's collar and questioned him in a low voice.

"Wang Buxi, how can you work for the general? Why didn't you stop him? The emperor wanted to kill the general! The general has made such a great contribution. Even if the emperor doesn't like the general, he dare not hide his bow at this time!"

Yan Tongchu was furious, coughing and cursing: "You can't instigate the general to act rashly just because you were wronged in Shuozhou! How can Yunzhou afford a war?! If the emperor takes this opportunity to deal with Yunzhou, will you be worthy of the sacrificed soldiers?!"

Seeing Yan Tongchu was so thin that he could be blown away by the wind, Wang Buxi rarely refrained from arguing with him: "You have to believe in the general. When has the general ever fought a battle that he was not sure of winning?"

Wang Buxi came closer and explained in a low voice: "This time the general is fighting in the name of helping Shuozhou to eliminate bandits. First, he will beat up the Shuozhou tyrants and get the food back."

"And then? Don't try to fool me! For such a small matter, we can just send any general over. Is it really necessary for the general to go in person?!"

Wang Buxi saw that he could not hide it any more, so he had to continue to explain: "The territory we conquered is of course ours. We can't just give it to the government! As for Shuozhou, let's take it down first and see how it goes."

"What are you looking at?"

Wang Buxi chuckled: "It depends on the reaction of the government and the reaction of other counties."

Yan Tongchu gasped, and an electric current seemed to spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, making him shiver: "So fast?"

Wang Buxi: "The right time, the right place, and the right people. Now, except for the right time, the other two conditions are all met."

Yan Tongchu couldn't help but look at Gu Nanxi. A round sun rose from behind her, making it difficult to look directly at her.

Gu Nanxi glanced at the people who were suppressing their anger, and his voice was as firm as a rock.

"We can no longer endure this! We in Yunzhou are worthy of the heavens above and the earth below. We don't owe anyone anything! No one else can owe us anything!"

"Don't worry, I'll go to Shuozhou first to get our things back, and I'll be back another day!"

Gu Nanxi whipped his whip, and ten thousand troops moved together!

"Congratulations, General, for your triumphant return!" Behind him were the people of Yunzhou who were crying their hearts out.

After he could no longer see the army, Wang Buxi asked Wen Yu for a copy of the original list.

Although the original list was scribbled, it was stained with blood and black fingerprints.

"What do you want this list for?" Wen Yu was puzzled.

Wen Yu planned to collect this manuscript together with the first issue of Yunzhou Weekly.
