Chapter 148: The Milky Way has no crossing across the sky (Three)

The sky is clear, and the sun shines on the endless grassland, with the vibrant green green everywhere. Standing on the Langju Xu Mountain and looking down, you can see the original Shanyu royal court that has become a ruin.

"Fenglangjuxu, Chan Guyan, and he is in the vast sea." Huo Qubing turned his head with great enthusiasm, looked at Ji Zhen beside him, and said, "Now, we have finally done it."

The wind blew through his hair, Ji Zhen reached out to lift the falling hair, smiled back, and said, "Yes, you did it."

"Why have to be so humble? If you had not led the main force of the Huns, I would not have been so relaxed and broke through the wolf to seize Xushan and the Shanyu royal court." When he arrived outside the frontier, he won another victory. Huo Qubing's mood suddenly improved a lot. He reached out to wrap his hand around Ji Zhen's shoulder and said.

Ji Zhen didn't refute, just shook his head, smiled, and said, "Is the person you sent to pick up Princess Nangong, sure it's reliable?"

"Don't worry. There is absolutely no problem." Huo Qubing said, "The Huns are now about to collapse. After this battle, the surrendered Huns should know that there will be no good results to follow the Huns. Besides, it's not that your friend Xing Tian is here. It's okay."

"I hope so." Ji Zhen said, "If we take the princess back, we can go back."

"However, this Princess Nangong is really amazing." Huo Qubing shook his head and said, "Under this situation, he still wants to provoke King Youguli and make this last achievement, which is really..."

"Yes." Ji Zhen also felt a little heavy. He nodded, but thought to himself: I don't know what would happen if this princess returned to Weiyang Palace. If she got together with her sister, it would be difficult to deal with.

"Two generals! Two generals!" A personal soldier rushed over and interrupted the conversation between them.

"What's the matter?" Ji Zhen asked with a frown.

"Elder General Li Guang! He committed suicide!" said the personal soldier gasping.

"What!" Huo Qubing and Ji Zhen were both surprised. The two immediately rushed towards the camping direction, but when they arrived, they only saw Li Gan holding his father's body. They were in great pain.

"What's going on!" Huo Qubing got angry on the spot. When he went on this expedition, even on the battlefield, the Han army had never suffered any generals. Instead, when he was safe and sound, a veteran of such a senior committed suicide. He couldn't help but be angry.

"Go back to General, my father, the old general went to his death on his own. No wonder others." Li Gan heard Huo Qubing's questioning and said, wiping his tears.

But it turned out that although this battle was a great victory, he saw that he was expected to be a marquis after returning, Li Guang was still a little depressed. Since he started his battle with the Huns more than 70 years old. Before he was 60 years old, the Han Dynasty was in a defensive position. Although he was known as a famous general for a while, he had not fought a few happy pursuit battles. Later, the Han army turned defense to offense, but he always lost his opportunity for various reasons. This was the first time he was so close to the Huns. It was also the first time that the Han army had the opportunity to capture the Huns' Chanyu alive, but he failed to seize this good opportunity and let Yi Zhixie escape. Therefore, after joining Huo Qubing's troops, he saw that the other party destroyed the Huns' court and achieved his full contribution. He thought of himself, he was even more unhappy.

"Even if that's the case, there's no need..." Ji Zhen sighed and said when he heard this.

Li Gan looked up at Ji Zhen, lowered his head quickly, and said, "My father didn't have the idea of ​​suicide, just because. When he was patrolling the camp today, he heard two soldiers privately saying..."

"say what?"

"It was said that according to Guan Shihou's arrangement, he shouldn't have escaped from Shanyu. His father was old and still showed off his strength to follow the army. Guan Shihou left him because of his age, and he didn't plan to use him in his heart. At the critical moment, he had to use it. As a result, his father was indeed useless. Not only did he escape from Shanyu, he also pursued him privately, not only did he lose his troops and generals, but he failed to report it to Guan Shihou in time. The unforgivable decision was his crime, and he lost the best opportunity to pursue him in vain." When Li Gan said these words, he almost gritted his teeth.

As soon as this said, Ji Zhen and Huo Qubing changed their faces. Huo Qubing immediately slapped the table and cursed: "Nonsense! Where did the soldiers come from? How dare they slander the reputation of Guan Shihou and General Li?"

Ji Zhen's face turned even more stern and said, "Person Li, if you take this seriously, I will definitely take the heads of the two broken-mouthed soldiers to sacrifice to the Old General Li. General Li's lifelong battles for my Han Dynasty, how can his reputation tolerate others insulting such a reputation?"

"Since that's the case," Li Gan asked with red eyes, "Can you tell Gan why you refused to entrust your father with important tasks along the way? You should divide the troops into two groups, with your father's seniority, shouldn't he be the main general? When you fight in front of the battle, your father knelt down and ask for your order, why did you still send the fledgling Lu Bode? If the general hadn't acted and secretly agreed with this private statement, how could my father feel heartbroken and finally find a short-lived look."

"This!" Ji Zhen did not expect to be questioned like this and was speechless. He finally understood why an old man like Li Guang, who was over 70 years old and who should have seen through the world, committed suicide because of the prejudice of one or two soldiers. It was not the one or two rumors of the soldiers who killed Li Guang, but the fact that he was not valued from the rumors. For a general, even though Lian Po was old, he still hoped to be in front of the general. When he found that he was no longer trusted by his superiors and no longer had the possibility of taking the lead alone, his life came to an end.

"It seems that Guan Shihou has nothing to say." Li Gan said hatefully, "If Guan Shihou thinks his father is already old, why should he agree to his follower with the army? Such an insult is the reward for your support for him in Liaodong City back then?"

"No! General Li Gan, I have no disrespect for the old general." Ji Zhen immediately became a little anxious when he heard this. Li Gan ignored him and went straight to the outsider with his father's body.

"General Li, what are you doing?" Huo Qubing blocked Li Gandi's way and asked.

"My father has a word first. His corpse is hoped to be burned to ashes, half of which is sprinkled on the Wolf Juxu Mountain, waiting for the future to see our Han army capture the Huns and Shanyu in one fell swoop. The half is taken back to my hometown." Li Gan was respectful to Huo Qubing and said, "So, my subordinates are going to prepare a funeral for my father, tomorrow. As he said, he sprinkled half of the ashes on the highest peak. Take back!"

"Weizhi, this matter," Huo Qubing looked at Ji Zhen and said irritably, "How could this happen! It should have been a perfect victory. Actually..."

"Forget it. I can't explain this matter clearly after all." Ji Zhen sighed and said. "I'll go and write a white cloth. Tomorrow, the whole army will be responsible for General Li Guang. I'll investigate the local affairs of the two soldiers and leave it to you."

The death of Li Guang made the atmosphere of the entire Han army a little depressed. After Huo Qubing found the two soldiers and personally dealt with Li Gan an explanation, Princess Nangong Liu Shan finally escaped from the Huns' Youguli King and returned to the Han army camp. In order to show her respect for the princess, Huo Qubing and Ji Zhen began to line up to greet him ten meters away from the tent.

I saw Liu Shan in red and white horse running in front. Her long-term life outside the border made her riding less than some Huns. She stopped in front of Ji Zhen, with a confident smile on her face and said, "But I don't know. Which of you is Guanshihou and which is the Champion Marquis?"

"The last general is Ji Zhen, who has met Princess Nangong." Ji Zhen bowed and said.

"You..." Liu Shan was about to say something, but she felt a gust of wind coming from behind her. She immediately lay down keenly, but Dao Feng just cut off half of her hair. Huo Qubing and Ji Zhen's face changed drastically. Ji Zhen pulled Liu Shan off the horse. Huo Qubing immediately drew his sword and shouted: "There is an assassin, protect the princess!"

Ji Zhen protected Liu Shan and took her to the camp. At this time, the surrounding area was already in chaos, and the person who had just taken action was the surrendered general of the Huns who had returned with Liu Shan, and for some reason he suddenly took action.

Gongsun He lost the marquis before the battle, and Huo Qubing was not favored, so he only followed the army as a lieutenant. When he greeted Liu Shan, he lined up in the rear. Seeing Ji Zhen leading Liu Shan, he took Liu Shan and said to Ji Zhen: "Horse Guan Shihou. The princess is here. You go back and help the marquis. Send these people earlier and leave."

"Okay." Ji Zhen turned his head in a panic. Seeing that Huo Qubing had led people to isolate the assassin and the traitor from ten steps away, he felt relieved. When he was about to turn around and say that it was okay, a bright knife suddenly appeared beside him. He narrowly avoided, but found a soldier in the Han army uniform was dealing with him with a knife. Seeing this, Gongsun He immediately shouted: "Hao Guan Shi, there are assassins in the army. Protect the princess and retreat quickly."

Ji Zhen also discovered that as expected, several soldiers beside them drew their swords and stared at them. He immediately put his sword on his sword and repelled the soldier who was approaching first, and naturally retreated back. It was exactly where Gongsun He and Liu Shan were located. At this time, Gongsun He was injured by a soldier beside him, holding the knife's right arm, and his body shrank, which made Ji Zhen face the soldier's blade.

"General Ji!" Liu Shan couldn't scream, and saw that there was a red red in front of her. The knife had pierced Ji Zhen's body. Seeing that Ji Zhen was injured, several soldiers immediately felt aroused their morale and rushed forward, regardless of Liu Shan and Gongsun He. In just a few moments, they had left scars of all sizes on Ji Zhen. In a mess, Huo Qubing finally controlled the situation ahead. He turned around and saw Ji Zhen covered in blood, kneeling on the ground.

"Ji Zhen!" Huo Qubing hurried to Ji Zhen and supported him. The assassins who raided him had already been killed by Ji Zhen and fell to the ground. After Huo Qubing supported Ji Zhen, he immediately shouted: "Military doctor, where is the military doctor?"

Ji Zhen could feel that Huo Qubing was holding him, or that he could feel his anxiety, but his consciousness became increasingly blurred without realizing it.

"Child, how could you be here? Where are your parents?"

"Zhen'er is going to the Coal Store to wait for the fairy sister, but Zhen'er has no parents."

"My sister looks as beautiful as a fairy. In the past, everyone said that my mother is the most beautiful person in the village, but my sister is more beautiful. And my sister is like a fairy and gave food to Zhen'er and uncles. My uncle also said that my sister must be reincarnated as a god, so that she will have such a good heart."

"Sister, sister, this afternoon is our end-of-year test, you must see it. Zhen'er will definitely win the first place."

"I know."

"Sister, please let me go too. The master said that my skills are no longer inferior to him, so let me go too."

"No! You are just a child, it's not your turn to do this. Come here and wait until your elder brother comes back."

"Brother!"

"Boy, don't play this trick at me. Wait until you turn 18. At that time, no matter what you do, your sister or elder brother won't stop you."

"It will take six more years for 18 years. That's too long. I want to go to the battlefield now."

...

"Ji Zhen has met Young Master Huo."

"You recognize me?"

"Ji Zhen is next to General Wei during the day."

"Oh. What do we compare? What? You don't dare, are you afraid of losing?"

"I'm afraid you will lose!"

...

"It doesn't matter what kind of friends Zhen'er likes to make. Don't deliberately keep a distance from her sister because of her, as her sister will be unhappy."

"But……"

"Come on, tell my sister about Huo Qubing, how about him?"

"He..."

...

"You have grown so tall before you knew it. I remember when Jiaojiao brought you back, you were still so young."

"It's the elder brother and sister who are well-raised."

"Zhen'er. Have you ever thought about your parents?"

"...I don't know either. I can't even remember my mother's face. I thought I could remember it forever... By the way, brother. Today, I saw the body of the Lord's Father Yan at the gate of the city."

“…”

"An old man was collecting his body, so I went up and helped. At least we lived together in Liaodong City. In this way, there would be no trouble, right?"

"No, you're doing a good job."

...

"Ji Zhen! It's really great to have a close relative!"

"Why did you say that all of a sudden?"

"Before I knew you, I always thought that my ambition was to become a person like my uncle."

"General Wei is so good. He is the strongest general in our Han Dynasty, and he is about to go to war again."

"No. I don't want to live like my uncle."

"Ji Zhen, you know, actually I hate you so despicable."

"I know."

"If you can leave behind the chaos in the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City and take a sword and leave, you and I will join forces. The world can go, do you know? Give me tens of thousands of cavalry, and I can fight with you to the Europe your sister said."

"I believe we can."

"But if you don't give up. If you can let go of Chang'an, you will not be the Ji Zhen I like."

"Huo Qubing, actually, I hate you so despicable. If you don't value the relatives of the Wei family so much, and take your sword and leave, you will never see the ugly things, and you will never have to be sad. If your eyes don't see everything so clearly, if your earthly center can surrender to this world, you will really be much happier. But that's the case. You are not the Huo Qubing I like."

"Ji Zhen! Do you think you won? You are just a fool who is being used without knowing it! The number one fool in the world!"

"Mr. Ling is tired, please send her back to rest."

"Ji Zhen! Have you never thought about who your biological parents are? Have you never thought about reuniting with your relatives one day? Don't you want to know where your mother is now?"

"Gillian has been using you from beginning to end. Do you know that over the years, if it weren't for the protection of my Huainan Prince's Mansion, your mother would have been found by those who were looking for her. I have also caught one of those people. His confession is still hidden in my Huainan Prince's Mansion. If you are interested, after breaking the city, go to my room to take it. I promise. After you read it, you will believe what I said today. Your father is Lord Father Yan, and his mother is Ji Qing, the sister of the Empress Dowager of Qi. Why, his face is so ugly? Oh, it seems that you don't have to wait until that day, because you still remember your mother's name, right?"

"The second young master, his subordinates have already reviewed the files of the day. In the sixth year of Yuanguang, the young master did send people to the Liufuqu generation, but there was no record of what he did. As for what the young master said, there was no record of going to Qi in the second year of Yuanshuo. These two times were led by Zhuang Xin himself."

"Mr. Marquis, the group of people you ordered me to secretly investigate did indeed join the Li Shangshu's house."

"The adoptive father went to Qi to understand your worries. At that time, he didn't know that his mother was still alive, but he just felt that his reputation was too bad, and he was afraid that he would affect you in the future."

"What, the second young master wants to see our records in the Ji family in Qi State. Here. Here, in the third year of Yuanguang, the Ji family escaped, Ji Qing returned! He was worried about losing his heart and madness in less than a month."

...

Many memories were filled with memories when his body collapsed on Huo Qubing. Ji Zhen looked at the blurry blue sky and the dazzling sunshine. What he saw in the hazy was Chen Jiao's face when he first met.
