Chapter 403 Paying homage to the three armies
Outside the border town, there is a piece of white.In the tombs of heroes on both sides of the city gate, countless new graves were added.

On the towering stele pillars, there are densely engraved names, deep and shallow, new and old.

With a pale face, Gu Congrong knelt down in front of the hero's tombstone, and placed the bloody heads of the enemy generals in front of the monument.

With a slight tremor of his hand, he placed the last Mr. Huang's head.

"I, Gu Congrong, have been guarding Xiguan all my life. I feel that I am worthy of heaven and earth. I can sacrifice a human head for this country at any time. How could I expect that I would call that traitor a villain and kill the lives of the kings."

As Gu Congrong said, he knocked his head heavily on the tombstone three times.

The soldiers of the Jiannan Army standing behind him took a look, they also knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed three times in silence.

Gu Congrong raised his head, there was already blood on his forehead, and the wound on his right shoulder burst open, a piece of bright red.

Qi Langzhong watched, frowned, and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Duan Yi's eyes.

I don't know if Zheng Duo really played a mysterious role, or if the soldiers were determined, Gu Congrong walked through the gate of hell once, and carried it abruptly. Although he will no longer be able to fight in the battlefield in the future, he saved his life anyway. .

Duan Yi looked at his right hand hanging by his side, and pursed her lips.

"It's me, Gu Congrong, who can't help my brothers. Thanks to the blessings of the heavens, the Lord Ming came, and the old man finally lived up to the lords and entrusted him with his life. The border town is safe and the people are safe. People are alive, the city is alive, the city is broken, and people are dead."

"Now the heads of those dog thieves are here to pay homage to the souls of the dead kings. May you protect my border town and make it peaceful for generations to come."

"We will meet in the spring sometime. If you are still willing to believe in me, then we will guard the frontier as humans when we are alive, and protect the rivers and mountains as ghosts when we go down to the ground."

As Gu Congrong said, he took a jar of spirits from Gu Mingrui, took a big sip, and poured it down on the ground in front of the tomb.

Duan Yi also raised the wine bowl in her hand and fell to the ground.

All the soldiers of the Jiannan Army and the Duan Family Army also picked up their wine cups and poured the wine on the ground neatly with red eyes.

Gu Congrong burst into tears, "You can see it! Duan Yi has avenged you! Those thieves who came to the side were almost slaughtered!"

"From now on, everyone in this world will know that what we shouted is not empty words: those who violate our borders will be punished!"

"Death!" Everyone yelled in unison.

Gu Congrong wiped his eyes, "You guys watched Duan Yi grow up, from now on, Jiannan will be handed over to her, and you can rest assured."

As he spoke, he stood up staggeringly, and Duan Yi and Gu Mingrui hurriedly took a step forward, supporting him from left to right.

Qi Langzhong grabbed the paper money in the basket and sprinkled it into the sky.

The orphans of the soldiers who died in battle all cried bitterly...

……

Today's night seems to have come very early, and it will be dark soon after.

Praying Langzhong carried a bowl of decoction and walked to Duan Yi's door. The room was still lit, but there was no one moving around. He opened the door and walked in, and put the decoction on the side table.

Duan Yi was wearing armor, lying sprawled on the bed, fast asleep, even when he came into the room, she didn't wake up.

His gaze softened a bit, he pulled aside the thin brocade quilt, gently covered Duan Yi's body, then closed the door, and tiptoed out again.

Qi Langzhong stood on the corridor and rubbed his ears.

Tens of thousands of strong men were snoring together, and it was like thunder and deafening, but it was still crying like a cry, turning nine times and turning a thousand times, and at some point it suddenly turned a corner and roared towards an unexpected place.

Qi Langzhong feels that he is really full of literary ideas at the moment, and he can write ten thousand characters in "Snoring Fu".

He shook his head, shaking off the messy thoughts in his head.

Since they received the letter, they marched all the way here in a hurry, and then fought several times in a row, and they hardly rested.

Previously, he relied on the willpower to drive the enemy back, but now that the enemy has retreated, he felt at ease in an instant, and his tiredness rose like a tide.

He rubbed his arm and walked towards the room next to Duan Yi.

When he reached the door, he couldn't help shaking his head. The door of the room was open, and Su Yun was lying on the bed with his head resting on Wei Meng's stomach.Wei Meng's whole body was covered with a thin quilt covering his head, and as he snored, the quilt was blown up and down, looking like a ghost.

Looking at the assassin Gu Yu, he immediately fell asleep on the ground.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he quickly opened his eyes, and seeing that it was Mr. Qi, he closed his eyes again and fell asleep.

Qi Langzhong shook his head speechlessly, and muttered, "You bastards, everyone is worried. I obviously only have one son, but I feel exhausted after giving birth to a full house of children and grandchildren!"

He tore off the quilt from Wei Meng's head, covered Su Yun and Wei Meng, moved another bed and placed it on a recliner beside him, and lightly kicked Gu Yu with his feet, "The little prince usually doesn't Sleeping, old Jia used to treat him, he was just on the bed in the army, and opened his coffin for him."

"You're an assassin, sleeping on the floor with cold air coming into your body. When you're old, you'll get cold legs, and you still use your light work? Don't sleep here. Where are you going? Let's talk about it first. Put the dagger away. Don't worry about it." cut me in the night."

Gu Yu rubbed his eyes, and stood up with sleepy eyes. He didn't speak, but as if he was sleepwalking, he obediently followed Qi Langzhong into his room, and fell down when he saw the bed.

Qi Langzhong was speechless, covered him with a quilt, and then walked out of the small building.

The gate tower of the border city was the same as Xiangyang City, it was built much higher than other cities, he had trouble with his legs and feet, he limped up with some difficulty, and the surroundings were quiet.

Qi Langzhong walked over slowly, and handed a melon to Gu Congrong, "When you get older, you don't sleep much less, but it's cheaper for you and me. I happen to have two melons. I still worry about it during the day, just two of those bastards. Haven't broken your head yet."

Gu Congrong took it over with a smile, and looked at the melon in his hand with some nostalgia, "You can't do it next to you, but you are a good hand at growing melons. If you don't have any in other people's fields, you have them. Other people's melons are out of season. You besides."

Qi Langzhong chuckled, "I don't have much skills, how can I use a load of melons to abduct a good apprentice. What are your plans next, do you want to go to Qianzhong with Duan Yi?"

Gu Congrong took a bite of the melon and shook his head, "With you here, no matter how complicated Guizhou is, it can be handled properly. Where do you need me to go? That's because Ayi was afraid that I would be disheartened. Said like that."

"Mingrui still has many shortcomings. He has been stupid for so many years, and there are many things I haven't had time to teach him. Although you don't say it, I know that I am old, and I have lost my foundation due to this serious injury. There haven't been many years to live."

Qi Lang took a bite of melon and walked away, "Well, up to three years."

Gu Congrong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Enough."

He thought about it, paused, and then asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Qi Langzhong seemed to be asked the question he wanted to ask the most, his eyes lit up instantly, he looked at Gu Congrong, and said with a smile, "Duan Yi's world was created step by step, and everyone thought she could only Be a hero on horseback."

"However, outside of Jiannan, who would have thought of it? Mrs. Duan San's greatest ability is not to conquer cities and land, but to rule the world."

"She has already impressed the generals of the world with admiration. Next, I will wait for the civil officials to be dumbfounded."
