Great General [Rebirth]

Zhao Yongzhou was a little upset, and gradually lost his patience. He rubbed the center of his brows and said, "Commander Liu, I understand what you mean. But Zen Heart is free, and I can't tie it up and forcefully drag it to the capital. See Your Majesty. I think the marshal is also considerate of me."

"But General Bai, this time the marshal postponed his return to Beijing, the Second Highness used General Baihu as an excuse at the Holy Majesty's place. Not only the captives will be presented at the grand ceremony, but also the auspicious beasts." Liu Li persuaded earnestly.

"Didn't you send someone to look for it?"

"I can't find it."

"The mind of Zen has always come and gone freely with me. If you have a way to find it, let it go back to Beijing with you." Zhao Yongzhou turned around and left after finishing speaking.Ren Dena how Liu Li emphasized the importance of presenting auspicious beasts to the Holy One later, his heart suddenly jumped at this moment, and he was already very irritable.

The sun had completely sunk to the bottom of the water, and there was still a blush between the sea and the sky.Looking at it from a distance, there is a figure sitting between the blush, like a god and Buddha, shining with golden light.

"Brother, it's time to go back." Zhao Yongzhou walked over and shouted.

However, the people sitting there had their backs to him, very quiet.

Zhao Yongzhou approached, "Brother..."

Then he held his breath.

Brahma crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees, and arched his back slightly.The ice blue eyes were half opened, and there was already a dead silence inside.The corners of his lips were stained with long-dried blood, which was dark and highly poisonous.

Zhao Yongzhou restrained the trembling of his hands, reached under Brahma's breath for a moment, then suddenly knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Why..." He covered his face, lowered his head, and suddenly fell into the dark abyss.

The daylight was completely gone, the whole world was plunged into darkness, and the sea behind was roaring and surging.The young man raised his head and wailed in pain.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

That was a rare loss of control in Zhao Yongzhou's life.The first time I thought Nian Yi was dead, in a Buddhist temple in the south of Sanqing County.Now Nian Yi is really dead, at the seaside of Julan.He wailed, wept, heartbroken, but this time he cried out his tears and Nian Yi would not come back to life.

Feng Buyan ordered Brahma's body to be burned in a big fire. Zhao Yongzhou knelt on one side all the time, bowed his head and said nothing.

It was early morning.

Night still covers the land.

Putting the jar containing the ashes in front of Zhao Yongzhou, Feng Buran waved and ordered the surrounding soldiers to retreat.The young man's body has just recovered from a serious illness, and it is still very thin. The anger that had been recovered with difficulty seems to have been completely drained at once.Feng Buran frowned for a while, then turned and left.

He could help Bai Wu with some things, but he couldn't make up for the emotional trauma.For some reason, Feng Buran was somewhat resistant to fully entering into this child's heart.As for what he was resisting, he himself vaguely understood.

Such a child is too fragile... Bai Wu may not be considered fragile, but he has gone through a lot of pain at a young age, and he is probably a broken doll, vulnerable to a single blow...

Zhao Yongzhou kept kneeling until dawn, when the sun first rose, throwing a tiny halo from the other side of the mountain.He held the jar in his arms for a while, then suddenly he stood up, supported his numb knees, and stumbled into the prisoner's cell.

Mo Ke laughed when he saw Zhao Yongzhou's appearance.

"You did it, didn't you? Poison the brother." The young man stood outside the cell, his face livid, his eyes bloodshot, and he was haggard and pale.The jailer hastily opened the cell.

Mo Ke: "Yes."

"He's your brother..."

"Shut up." Mo Ke scolded, "Don't hear your brother's name from your mouth."

"Why did you do this?"

"To see your current appearance." Mo Ke said with a sinister smile.

Zhao Yongzhou frowned slightly, even today, Mo Ke still has no regrets.He dragged her all the way to the beach.

"Let me go! You pariah! Don't touch me with your dirty hands!" Moko yelled.

Zhao Yongzhou threw her on the ground, next to the urn.

Mo Ke paused, looking at the black jar, a hole was cracked in its unruly appearance.The pain flickering in the eyes was frightening.

"Does it hurt?" Zhao Yongzhou asked softly.

Mo Ke lowered his head, the soil under his body was wet.

Zhao Yongzhou's voice was trembling, "He will protect you until death, so I can't kill you. But I'm really curious, why did you do this? Is it just to hurt me? He is your brother, don't you Will it hurt more?"

Mo Ke's voice came weakly: "Look... this world is so sinful, living is just suffering, what good is there?"

"Then why don't you die." Zhao Yongzhou asked.

"As long as I want to send you to hell, I don't care where I am." Mo Ke raised her head, with strong hatred on her tear-stained cheeks. "I hate you, I hate all of you in Darong. If it weren't for you, my country would not perish, and my brothers would not die... All this is thanks to you. I will live in this hell , see you one by one, suffer a thousand times more pain than me!"

Zhao Yongzhou couldn't stand still and took two steps back. He couldn't accept that his brother was killed by a lunatic's paranoia.

"You really don't deserve everything he has done for you." Zhao Yongzhou shook his head.

He opened the black jar, grabbed the ashes inside, and threw them into the sea with a wave.Mo Ke first cried with restraint, and finally burst into tears.However, Zhao Yongzhou will never sympathize with her again, and most of what this woman has suffered has to be attributed to herself.

The return trip was such a long and boring affair.Marching every day, hurrying on the road, full of travel and dust.Half a month later, the army passed through Sanqing County and stopped for a while.Feng Buran and his party stopped at the post house, and officials from the yamen and wealthy gentry from the county came to visit them in an endless stream.

Zhao Yongzhou leaned against the pear tree outside the yard, silently watching the luxurious carriages and heaps of servants at the gate of the station.

Do the math, it's been four years.Four years ago, he was taken here as a prisoner, and he was also standing here, waiting for Feng Buran's army to leave.At that time, he was still smug, thinking about wrapping his body in horse leather and serving the country.But today, his state of mind has undergone an earth-shaking change.Fame and fortune are suddenly not so important, he lived a new life, lived until now, and lost his direction again.Confused, he turned and walked out of the city.

"Master Zhang, what's the matter?" The county magistrate who got off the sedan chair looked at Zhang Yuming who had stopped.

Zhang Yuming frowned and looked at the young man leaving under the pear tree, "Could it really be him..."

"Who are you talking about?" The county magistrate was newly transferred and was busy currying favor with the Generalissimo, hoping that one day he would be promoted and make a fortune.However, it was rumored that Feng Buran would not enter, so it was even more difficult to meet him. He found out that Zhang Yuming had dealt with Feng Buran before, so he dragged Zhang Yuming to the post house.

"Is that General Bai?" The magistrate's eyes lit up, and he followed Zhang Yuming's gaze. "Which one is it?"

Naturally, Bai Wu's reputation had spread back to Sanqing County long ago, and everyone knew that Bai Changhan, the biological father of Bai Wu, was even planned by the county magistrate to work as an errand in the county government.His original intention this time was to bring Bai Changhan to look for his son, but Zhang Yuming stopped him.The county magistrate asked why, but Zhang Yuming only said that the relationship between General Bai and his biological father was not very harmonious.

"Let's go in quickly." Zhang Yuming said to the county magistrate.Naturally, it was more important to visit the marshal, and the county magistrate brought Zhang Yuming into the post house with a smile.

Since he only had half a day to stay, Zhao Yongzhou went directly to Bai Village.Walking on the road, some people seem to recognize him, but they dare not approach him.People who have been on the battlefield for a long time naturally carry a murderous aura.He had learned from Nian Yi's letter before that Bai Changhan had entered the government office as an errand, and the county government allocated a house for him in the town, but the Bai family did not follow, and still only lived in Bai Village.The reason for this was not mentioned by Nian Yi, Zhao Yongzhou probably knew it too.The purpose of his going back this time is to visit the Bai family, and to visit Cuiyu.The senior brother once said that Cuiyu was placed in a safe place by him, but now that the senior brother has gone, there is no news of Cuiyu.

A dilapidated house, with a few chickens in the yard, and a hoe, a sickle and two dustpans in front of the closed hall door. It seems that the owner should have gone to do farm work in the field.Zhao Yongzhou frowned and stood outside the yard for a while. Not long after, a woman with half-haired hair came slowly from the field path, with her back arched and a basket of firewood on her back.

Obviously Bai's life is not going well.Zhao Yongzhou suppressed his anger towards Bai Changhan, he really wanted to go forward, but he was afraid of scaring Bai Shi, so he could only stand where he was.His throat was choked and choked, and he couldn't make a sound.

Raising her head and seeing a strange young man standing outside the courtyard gate, Bai was stunned for a moment, she didn't recognize who it was, but she also avoided the murderous look on the stranger.

"Who are you looking for?" Bai asked timidly.

Zhao Yongzhou was heartbroken, he restrained his emotions, and tried hard to force a smile.He didn't want to scare her, but he knew that the expression on his face at the moment must be uglier than crying.

"Could it be that you are... Xiao Wu?" Bai Shi asked suddenly, a little excited.

Zhao Yongzhou lowered his head, raised his head after a while, and smiled: "Mother."

"It's really you, Xiao Wu." Bai Shi walked over tremblingly, Zhao Yongzhou hurried up to take off the basket and took it, and helped Bai Shi walk into the yard.

"No one of them told me that you are coming back today. Oh, look at me, I have nothing prepared. There is no meat, I, I will kill a chicken for you. Xiao Wu, you sit first. Oh, are you thirsty? I Go and boil some hot water for you first. Sit down." Bai Shi suddenly became busy, and Zhao Yongzhou noticed that there was something wrong with her feet, not to mention how uncomfortable she felt.Bai Changhan, an old man, relied on Zhao Yongzhou's military exploits to enjoy his fortune in the town, but he left his mother here alone and helpless.Thinking of this, Zhao Yongzhou was angry at him for not fighting, but also mourned his misfortune.After all, life is difficult, and all living beings are in various states.

"Mother, don't be too busy." Zhao Yongzhou pulled Bai Shi down on the chair. She wanted to stand up and boil water for him, but he held her down slightly. "Now that I have achieved military exploits, when I return to the capital, the Holy Majesty will give me an official title and a mansion. You go to live in the town first, and wait for me to come back to pick you up. From now on... you can enjoy yourself."

Crying, Mrs. Bai nodded again and again, holding Zhao Yongzhou's hand, and kept saying: "I know, I know. My son is filial, mother has always known."

"Mom, do you know where Cuiyu is?"

Mrs. Bai burst into tears, and said with a choked voice: "She gave birth a few days ago and hid in the next county. Your second sister is there, but she doesn't dare to visit her often. People from the Chen family want to beat her to death. There is nothing we can do... I went to see her quietly yesterday, she is still in confinement, she is so haggard and disfigured."

It was getting dark outside, thinking of these things, Zhao Yongzhou helped Bai Shi up and said, "Let's go, let's pick her up."

Bai Shi hesitated: "But the Chen family..."

"It's nothing." Zhao Yongzhou said, "I'm back now. I won't let anyone bully you again."

The two set off at night.Bai's feet are not good, so Zhao Yongzhou insisted on carrying her on his back.I chose a shortcut, but it was over mountains and ridges. When I got there, it was already midnight.The house was low and damp, even more dilapidated than the houses in Baicun.It is very unbearable for a confinement woman to live in such a place.Zhao Yongzhou knocked on the door, but there was no movement in the room.

Bai said, "She is asleep."

Zhao Yongzhou knocked a few more times, Cuiyu woke up, but she was very vigilant and did not dare to make a sound.

"Yu, it's mother. Open the door quickly." Bai yelled outside the house.

Then Cuiyu got off the bed, put on her clothes and came out to open the door.Opening the door, she suddenly saw a strange man, thinking that someone from the Chen family had sent someone, she screamed in fright, and quickly closed the door.

Bai quickly said: "Cuiyu don't be afraid, this is your younger brother, Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu is back."

Only then did Cuiyu open the door, revealing a terrified face, sunken eye sockets, pale face looking at the man outside the door, "Xiao... Xiao Wu..."

"I'm back, I'm here to pick you up." Zhao Yongzhou said softly, he was full of pity for the woman in front of him.

Cuiyu opened her mouth first, but was completely stunned.Zhao Yongzhou stepped forward to hug her, patted her shoulder lightly, imitating Feng Buran's tone in his memory: "Don't be afraid, I'm back. It's okay, everything is over."

Cuiyu stared blankly at him for a long while, and finally shed tears slowly, not daring to cry loudly for fear of waking up the child, so she held back crying and shook her body.Bai said: "Don't cry. You are still in confinement, be careful that you will be blind in the future."

Only then did Cuiyu accept it.Zhao Yongzhou asked Cuiyu if there was any family in the village that could send them to the town, "I have to go back to Beijing early tomorrow morning, now I have to send you to the town, and then I will let someone take care of you."

Bai thought for a while and said, "Li's family should be able to help. Let's go find him."

Zhao Yongzhou asked Cuiyu to tidy up and hold the baby, and the three of them went directly to Li Laoliu's house and knocked on the door.It is not good for a farmer to be woken up in the middle of the night, but when he opened the door and saw Zhao Yongzhou standing outside, he immediately fell silent.Zhao Yongzhou didn't say much, and took out a bag of broken silver, which was the pocket money given by Feng Buran before he came out at noon.

"Look for a few people and two sedan chairs, I'm going to Liu Town immediately." Zhao Yongzhou said.

Li Laoliu opened the cloth bag and looked, his eyes lit up immediately.Looking at Zhao Yongzhou and the two women behind him, one old and one young, he understood.He also woke up after dozing off, nodded and said, "Wait, I'll call someone right away."

"be quick."

"Yes Yes."
