Chapter 418: Returning home

After the sacrificial ceremony, Zhu Cihong ordered that all the Tianwu Army should take a holiday for half a month, and return to the barracks to assemble and go to Nanjing after half a month.

After the order to repair was issued, bursts of cheers were instantly heard in the various military camps of the Tianwu Army, and everyone was ready to go home to pick up their wives and children, and those who did not have wives could visit their parents or move freely.

In a military camp, Xu Qingshan, the commander of the regiment, strictly ordered his subordinates: "Everyone in the second regiment obeys the order, strictly abides by military discipline on the way home, and must not disturb the people, and violators will be severely punished!" ”

A soldier laughed and said, "General, what if someone on the road takes the initiative to provoke us?" ”

Xu Qingshan frowned, and said: "If any of the eight lambs dares to take the initiative to provoke our Tianwu Army, they will cut him down according to the emergency regulations of our army!" ”

"Good!" There was a burst of shouting in the camp, and then everyone ran away with their burdens and smoke.

Looking at the anxious subordinates, Xu Qingshan shook his head with a smile, sorted out his appearance in front of the bronze mirror, and straightened the armor on his body, then picked up the burden that had been prepared and hurriedly left the camp gate.

Xu Qingshan rode a high-headed horse into the middle capital, first hired a carriage, and then swept a few shops, books, clothes, bacon and other large bags stuffed a whole carriage, and the coachman's eyes were straight, and he secretly said that this military master is really fucking rich!

Xu Qingshan's home is in Shouzhou, Fengyang Prefecture, more than 200 miles away from Fengyang, the central capital.

On the way back, the coachman finally couldn't help it and asked Xu Qingshan: "I said Master Jun, do you plan to go to Shouzhou to do business when you buy this car?" ”

Xu Qingshan said with a smile: "I went home, these are all bought for my wife and children!" ”

The groom exclaimed, "The military master should be a member of the Tianwu Army, right?" No wonder you got rich, I heard that if you cut off the head of a Tartar soldier, you will have a reward of fifty taels of silver? ”

Xu Qingshan nodded and smiled slightly, he didn't say much, he didn't just cut off the head of a Tartar soldier, he personally beheaded a Tartar prince on the battlefield, Prince Yu Duoduo, and the crown prince rewarded 10,000 taels of silver, and was promoted three levels in a row!

The horseman was quite talkative, and when he saw Xu Qingshan's armor and waist knife galloping on his horse, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Tianwu Army is really powerful, and my son is also looking forward to joining the Tianwu Army day and night." ”

Xu Qingshan was proud in his heart, and also remembered his wife and children at home, his heart couldn't help but warm, and his homesickness was even worse......

The carriage traveled westward, all the way along the official road, the official road in Fengyang Mansion was flat and spacious, and two carriages could run in parallel, and the speed of travel was much faster than on the potholed dirt road.

Outside Shouzhou City, Xu Qingshan looked at the familiar City God Temple from a distance, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, after a year and a half of the expedition, he not only came back alive, but also made many achievements and rewarded countless rewards.

He pointed to a dilapidated courtyard gate near the City God Temple and said, "Uncle, the small courtyard in front is my house, help me drive the carriage there, and I'll give you an extra penny." ”

"Great!" The coachman grinned, his heart was happy.

The tunpu where Xu Qingshan's house is located is quite lively, and villagers who come and go to work can be seen everywhere, and a strange carriage suddenly arrived, which immediately attracted everyone's onlookers.

After a while, half of the people in the fort gathered around, pointing and speculating about who it was.

There are not many people who can afford to hire a carriage in the fort, just like a Hongqi S9 supercar with a throttle suddenly driving in a village in the future, it is easy to attract the attention of the people around it.

In the City God Temple, Xu Qingshan's wife, the fifth sister, was praying, muttering: "The fifth sister of the little woman prays sincerely, asking Emperor Guan Sheng to bless her husband Xu Qingshan to return safely. ”

After speaking, the fifth sister bowed a few respects reverently, and finally felt a little more at ease, and was about to take her three children home.

At this moment, a mother-in-law with a loud voice shouted outside the temple gate: "Fifth sister, your man is back!" ”

Hearing this, the fifth sister hurriedly stood up and was surprised and delighted, and said, "Auntie, Brother Qingshan is really back?!" ”

"Isn't it, your man is not only back, but also out of breath, riding a horse and driving a carriage back!"

"Daddy's back!" Xu Qingshan's three children cheered again and again.

The fifth sister was just about to run out of the temple, and rushed back to bow to Emperor Guan Shengjun a few times, and thanked Guan Erye again and again.

Under the pull of the loud mother-in-law, the fifth sister ran to her small courtyard with the child excitedly, secretly excited in her heart, and said that the Holy Emperor Guan was safe, and it was true!

In front of the dilapidated courtyard of Xu Qingshan's house, it was surrounded by the villagers in the fort, and when they heard that Xu Qingshan had become a general, it immediately caused a sensation among everyone in the fort.

"Aoyama is back!"

"Look at Qingshan's armor, this is something that only a general can wear!" A well-informed old man was amazed.

"After Qingshan joined the Tianwu Army, his whole person has changed, look at this murderous aura, he must have killed a lot of Tartars!"

In the voice of warm greeting, Xu Qingshan smiled and kept throwing his hand to the surrounding neighbors.

When the coachman piled up the large bags and small bags in the carriage one by one in front of the courtyard gate, it caused everyone to exclaim again and again.

"Wow, Qingshan is making a fortune, buy so many things!"

"Look, it's all bacon, it's only in the city!"

"Tianwu Army's reward is so rich, the fifth sister is blessed!"

"Don't just envy Qingshan, the battlefield sword has no eyes, this is also the life of Qingshan!"

"Damn, I've decided, I'll go to the Tianwu Army later!"

"With the appearance of you, you can also be selected into the Heavenly Martial Army? Look at what kind of spirit people have, and then look at yourself......"

Under the eager gaze of countless people, Xu Qingshan smiled and arched his hands, his face was stiff with a smile, but he didn't know what to do, he couldn't give a cart of things he bought to the people around him, so many people couldn't get enough of one thing, besides, this was bought for his wife and children, and he ran more than 200 miles......

He thought about it, and finally clenched his fists and said: "Thank you for the neighbors for taking care of a small family, tomorrow at noon, Qingshan will set up a banquet at the head of the village, and invite all the neighbors to come and enjoy it!" Thank you, thank you! ”

"Definitely! Certain! ”

"Aoyama, you're so polite! Why break the bank......"

Everyone replied with a mouthful of words, and then left one after another, but there were still some people who liked to watch the excitement still standing there.

The coachman looked at it with emotion, this is what the scholar said about returning to his hometown, and after he went back, he said that he would let his son join the Tianwu Army!

"Xianggong!"

"Daddy!"

The few exchanges from the City God Temple made Xu Qingshan's heart tremble, he put down his stiff arms, looked back, and saw his wife and three children rushing over.

Xu Qingshan no longer cared about the people around him, ran to his wife and children, opened his arms and held the three children in his arms, and took the fifth sister's hand and walked home.

An old lady smiled on crutches and said, "The family is finally reunited, okay!" ”

The onlookers around were embarrassed to continue eating dog food here, so they had to leave with a smile on their faces.

After moving the goods on the carriage into the yard, Xu Qingshan took out a tael of silver and handed it to the coachman, who immediately grinned, thanked him and hurried back to the carriage.

The fifth sister and the three children stared at the things in the courtyard with wide eyes, and they didn't react for a long time.

Xu Qingshan took a few newly bought clothes and said, "Fifth sister, these are all bought by Xianggong, do you like these clothes?" ”

"It's beautiful!" The fifth sister took these clothes, and her face was slightly red with excitement.

The fifth sister found a large pile of books in the goods and said curiously: "Brother Qingshan, why are you buying these books?" ”

Xu Qingshan said solemnly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince delivered a holy precept at the General Conference, asking all of us Tianwu Army generals to read more and open their eyes. ”

The fifth sister said seriously: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has put down the rebellion and fed so many people, he will definitely be an amazing emperor in the future." ”

Xu Qingshan's face showed reverence, and said: "That's natural, without His Royal Highness the Prince, there would be no me Xu Qingshan today, His Royal Highness's eloquence is even more admirable, I, Xu Qingshan, have already made an oath, and I will follow His Highness to the death in this life, no matter who dares to stand in front of His Highness, I will not hesitate to tear it apart!" ”

The fifth sister trembled when she heard this, but she still supported her man, everything in the family was given by the crown prince, without the crown prince, her family might have become a starving ghost......

In addition to clothes, bacon, and books, Xu Qingshan also bought candy and pastries for his three children, which caused the three children to rob for a while.

The fifth sister hurriedly boiled a large pot of boiling water, ready to wash the dust for Xianggong, and when she saw that Xianggong was covered with scars, distressed tears couldn't help but fall.

Xu Qingshan comforted her and said, "It's okay, it's just a small injury!" ”

The fifth sister said with red eyes: "I also said that there was a small injury, you look at the shoulder piece, such a big scar......"

Xu Qingshan said with a smile: "This scar is very valuable, it was left by a prince of the Tartars, and a shot pierced his chest that day, which was a knife he cut when he was dying and counterattacked." ”

Although Xu Qingshan told it lightly, he was terrified in the ears of the fifth sister, how high the prince was, he was killed by Xianggong, but he thought about how desperate his man was on the battlefield, these things were all exchanged for his life.

Xu Qingshan whispered a few words to her in his ear, causing the fifth sister to exclaim again: "Ten thousand taels? ”

Xu Qingshan smiled and nodded, a little complacent, but he was hugged by the fifth sister, snuggled in his arms and said, "Brother Qingshan, won't you leave when you come back this time?" ”

Xu Qingshan stroked her rough hair and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only gave half a month's vacation, and half a month later, the army will cross the camp and go south, and in the future, our family's fields will be divided in Yingtianfu." ”
