Ji Tang

Chapter 312 Embarrassed Li Chengqian
Only in Ba, only in Yuyuan, at the opening of the Qin Dynasty, tied up the running shaft of Dongqu, dragging Yan Jian to the side, just like the Changhong has not turned over.

At that time, Duke Mu of Qin dominated Xirong and changed the original Zi River to Ba River and built a bridge on the river, so it was called "Ba".

Ba Bridge was a scene in Chang'an at this time. People who said goodbye to their relatives and friends to the east often broke up here, and some even broke willows as gifts. Therefore, this bridge was also called the "Ecstasy Bridge", and there was a popular saying that "it's sad to say goodbye every year." , the words and phrases of "Baqiao Wind and Snow". "Baqiao Wind and Snow" has since become one of the scenic spots in Chang'an.

Although it is not the most beautiful moment, the gentle breeze and the willow trees have a unique flavor.

"Boom!"

But the roar of horse hooves interrupted the beauty here, and the place was filled with a chilling atmosphere. Ji Song had already returned to the army and was leading them to prepare for their glory.

Dahuang charged forward, looking majestic and high-spirited, like a general returning from victory.

Such a scene had already happened once when Li Jing returned, but the people in Chang'an City did not have any impatience, and even felt a little impatient.

It's no wonder, who doesn't want their country to win the war, let alone defeat the Turks who were once arrogant and even almost reached Chang'an.

They wished that there would be such a triumphant army every day. As long as they had nothing important to do, they would have been waiting on both sides of the official road for a long time just to see the scene of the triumphant army returning.

But when the army led by Ji Song came to them, the people who were excited and ready to cheer opened their mouths wide.

What kind of scene is this?
Wearing dirty and tattered armor, there were blood-stained bandages wrapped around his face, arms, legs, and even his abdomen.

They don't have the joy of victory, nor the excitement of being noticed, but only silent faces.

"Is this our victor?" A commoner who was eating and watching the excitement was so surprised when he saw such a scene that he didn't even notice that the food in his hand fell to the ground.

"God, what the hell have they been through?"

Suddenly, tens of thousands of people were silent. They really couldn't imagine what kind of hardships this victorious army went through on the grassland to become what it is now.

The battle report of the great victory, "Great victory in Mobei, captured Jieli alive, beheaded tens of thousands, cattle and sheep were not counted" are just a few words, but they seem so pale and feeble in such a scene.

At this time, in the crowd, You Ning supported Ji Song's mother. They stood behind the crowd, and from their angles, they could only see Ji Song's profile.

Mother Ji covered her mouth and burst into tears. Looking at her son's thin body and angular face, she couldn't say a word.

You Ning had already burst into tears. He could not imagine the circumstances under which Song Geer won such a great victory. Some time ago, he heard that the forward army was so desperate that due to the delay of Li Jing's army, they unexpectedly launched a charge against the Turkic Royal Court. .

If Chai Shao hadn't arrived in time, Song Geer's army might have been wiped out.

She really couldn't imagine what would happen if Brother Song had an accident.

Ji Song seemed to notice something and suddenly looked to the side of the road.

Ji's mother and You Ning saw Ji Song's eyes and cheered up to smile at him. They didn't want Brother Song to see them crying.

It is a joyful thing for the army to return victoriously. In the land of Guanzhong, such scenes have happened many times since ancient times, and they have long been used to it.

Ji Song resisted the urge to run over and stopped looking at them. He straightened his back and looked ahead.

This is not only my own glory, but also the glory of everyone. I cannot ruin the triumphal ceremony because of selfishness.

The army moved forward slowly. When an old woman finally found her son, the situation suddenly got out of control. She tried her best to break through the guards and grab her eldest son.

"Son, what's wrong with your arm? What's wrong!"

When she saw her son's empty sleeves, she couldn't help but collapsed on the ground and cried out in pain.

Scenes like this happened from time to time when the army was marching forward, but no one dared to actually step out of the formation. Even some people couldn't help but were pulled by their comrades beside them.The army's triumphal ceremony has not yet begun. Who dares to leave the army privately?

"Mom, my son is fine. You go back first. My son will be back today."

The held soldier could not leave and could only shout loudly to his mother.

Zhao Dang, who was in charge of improving military discipline, wanted to step forward to stop him, but was so frightened by Xue Wanche's almost predatory eyes that he did not dare to move.

"Forget it, don't be harsh. Send people quickly to arrange for these people and ask them all. If anyone dares to bully the families of these meritorious soldiers, their legs will be broken directly. If the government investigates, I will resist."

"There is also my Duke." Xue Wanche said anxiously.

"Be honest, you haven't figured out what's going on in your family yet, why are you messing around?" Ji Song said angrily.

After Zhao Dang received the order from his Lord Marquis, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly led a team of people there.

He came to the old woman, helped her up and said, "Don't worry, old lady. The victorious army will not return home for three days. Where is your home? If you have any difficulties, please tell us."

The one-armed soldier immediately felt relieved when he saw Zhao Dang taking care of his mother in person.

Ji Song didn't care about this, because he had already seen the people in front of him to greet the army.

"Let's go back!"

Mother Ji watched her son walk away, patted You Ning's little hand and said.

"Brother Song, he has become darker and thinner."

You Ning whispered.

Mother Ji didn't say anything else. This is the life of the man in Guanzhong!

"The one riding the red horse in front is the good Marquis?"

Li Chengqian pointed at Ji Song in surprise and asked Li Gang beside him.

It's no wonder that Li Chengqian was surprised. In fact, in his memory, Brother Song had always been personable and smiling, as if nothing could ever move him.

But what appeared in front of him now was a rough, sharp-edged man with a dark face and dirty clothes. This was exactly the same person as he remembered.

"Yes, it is my useless disciple!"

As the Minister of Rites, Li Gang is also the main greeter this time. The prince is just showing his attitude!

He smiled bitterly and said, "He didn't have to go to the battlefield originally, but your father turned a gentle young man into a general with blood on his hands."

"I don't know if Brother Song looks like this or not. Is this what he wants to see?"

Although Li Gang was very happy that his disciple could achieve this, he was still picky about Li Shimin, the emperor. He just couldn't stand it!
They are preparing to show off their skills at Sinong Temple, but you let them go to the grassland to kill people?Is this something people do?

It's not okay if Li Chengqian picks up, and it's okay if he doesn't pick up, he can only be embarrassed there alone.

Fortunately, Li Gang also knew when enough was enough, so he snorted and said nothing more.
