Chapter 1 Qingming

The light rain kept falling, as dense as silk and as elegant as clouds. The air is filled with a faint scent of grass and mud, and the clear rain always carries endless sorrow.

The ancestral hall was ablaze with fire, and the flames that rushed to the sky washed away all the raindrops. A huge amount of paper money is burning, and the Cang brothers only care about their grief. And I don't care about the inflation problem of Tiandi Bank.

Yun Xiao stood in the rain and fog, and Nangong behind him held an umbrella. A small wooden plaque with red letters on a black background is most conspicuous on the neck.

There are hundreds of pottery bowls on the ground, which contain the most mellow Yunjia steamed wine. Yun Xiao stood at the front, and behind him was a group of people who were pressed by the black. The rain slid down the black armor, drop by drop. The black-armored warriors stood like nails, each holding a bowl of wine in their hands like a cloud.

"Go with peace of mind." Yun Xiao drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and then slammed the pottery bowl to the ground. The broken pieces of porcelain were bounced far away, as if they were lost lives.

Holding his father's ashes and spiritual seat, the bear respectfully walked into the ancestral hall. The light rain wet his clothes, and the black brocade clothes were wet and heavy. Behind him were hundreds of black-armored warriors holding the altar of ashes.

The nails and leaves rattled, and the ashes were placed on the spiritual seat. The ancestral hall of the Yun family has been densely packed with many ashes, and these are the bones and limbs of the warriors who followed him to fight. There were those who died fighting with the Huns in Lingwu, and there were also those who died outside the city of Wuwei.

Lord Sima Ji was still jumping wildly on the altar, and a peachwood sword was danced by him impenetrable. It doesn't seem to be able to even fall into the rain.

The ceremony was solemn and fully expressed the remembrance and sorrow of the deceased.

On the distant mountain, a luxurious carriage stopped at the top of the mountain. Liu Qi sat on the wheel, and next to him was Liu Xiaozhu. Liu Qi looked at the fireworks under the mountain and was silent for a long time.

"Father, you have just seen your health. Or go into the car and rest for a while, the Yun family will hold such a ceremony every year during Qingming. Tomorrow my father's body will be better, and we will come to see it again. ”

Liu Xiaozhu is fourteen years old and knows that he cares about his father.

"This kid is not simple, but with a single ceremony, he has created thousands of diehards. Cheer. You have to learn. This is the real way to punish the heart. Your subordinates can only sincerely admire you. Admire you. In this way, we can live and die with you without fear of danger.

Fortunately, this kid has become your brother-in-law, and he is in charge of Yingbu. No, he's a lot tougher to deal with than Yingbu. Yingbu is just a vain brute. This kid is as witty as a fox. If it weren't for Nangong following him. I really don't know what to do with him. ”

"Father. You mean brother-in-law will ...... Will there be a rebellion? ”

Liu Xiaozhu expressed the doubts in his heart and has known Yunxiao since he was four years old. Now it has been ten years, and the Yun family has also gone from a small end. Jian Ba became an important military general of the Han Dynasty. If it weren't for Yun Xiao, he would have been insisting on leading the troops. Now I am afraid that he is already a military and political officer on the side of the herd, and the three thousand stone of Yulu is more than the average Taishou.

"Che'er, you remember. Rebellion is indiscriminate, and there are only two kinds for kings. One is someone who has the ability to rebel, such as Yingbu, Han Xin, or your brother-in-law Yunxiao. The other is people who are incapable of rebelling, such as Xiahou Ying, Xiao He, and your uncle Han Xin.

I'm afraid that my body will not become, you remember that a person like Yun Xiao can lead the army, but not lead the army. If he is in charge of the army, he can attack the city for my Han Dynasty, and if he leads the army, he can turn my Han soldiers into his private soldiers. Do you remember? ”

Liu Qi taught his son earnestly, he really hoped to hand over all his statecraft to his son. But he was helpless, and his mother didn't want to usurp his rights all the time. The Dou family's power in the court is getting bigger and bigger, if it weren't for their own power. I'm afraid that the old things of the old Lu Hou will be repeated now.

Now I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to provoke this heavy burden, and in the future, the Han Empire will be handed over to this son who has just turned fourteen. Every time he thought of this, Liu Qi's heart was full of melancholy. Power, it's really a loser's thing.

"Erchen wrote it down." Liu Che bowed down to salute, he was no longer a coquettish Liu piggy who climbed into Liu Qi's arms. Rather, he was the crown prince of the Han Empire and the heir of the emperor.

The bear is very much like his father, from appearance to figure. The same big guy, the same vicious face. It's just that he lacks gray hair and beard, and his slightly younger face is covered with beard. The roots are upright, how Yun Xiao looks like Zhang Fei in Luo Guanzhong's pen.

The bear-like body knelt in front of Yun Xiao, and there were two uncles standing beside him.

Yun Xiao struggled to pick up the bear's mace, which weighed dozens of pounds in pure steel. Sharp spikes resemble bloodthirsty wolf fangs, ready to satiate the blood of their enemies.

"Little Bear, your father followed me to fight in the north and south. It was this mace that I relied on, and now I give it to you, hoping that you will become a peerless warrior on the battlefield like your father. Let the Huns tremble, let the people of the Western Regions tremble. Make all the enemies of the Great Han tremble. ”

"Master Hou, without you, the Cang family can't even eat. Dad said, follow Hou Ye. Wherever Hou Ye pointed, the bear hit. After more than 100 catties, it will be Hou Ye's, and Hou Ye will live if he is alive. Hou Ye called him to death, and the little bear frowned, and it was not raised by his father's mother. ”

Yun Xiao was satisfied and handed the mace to the little bear, this child is fine. It's just a little lacking in heart.

Nangong carried a tray on the side, which contained a name tag with red letters on a black background. The bear was excited to swing his head, as long as he hung up this name tag. Like the two uncles, he became the general of the Yun family. The treatment will be an increase in the number of rocket stages.

Yun Xiao took the name tag and stared at the bear with both eyes.

"At present, the strong enemy is not afraid. Be bold and loyal, worthy of the Lord. Geng Zheng said bluntly, he would rather die than speak. Protecting the weak, the mighty is useless. This is your oath, firmly remembered. Your father is worthy of these four oaths, and I hope you will not disgrace your father. ”

After Yun Xiao finished speaking, he slapped Xiao Xiong in the mouth with his backhand. A crisp sound resounded throughout the ancestral hall, and with this crisp sound, Yun Xiao gave birth to another retainer.

The slap was a little hard, and the bear was pumping blood from his nose. The bear's face flushed, oblivious to the blood coming out of his nose. Stiffening his neck, he waited for Yun Xiao to hang the name tag around his neck.

The name tag hung on the red velvet thread finally hung on the bear's neck, and the goods kowtowed to Yun Xiao excitedly. He wiped a handful of blood from his nose before standing up.

It looked like another rammer, Yun Xiao looked helplessly at the little bear with a bloody face.

The villagers looked at the bear with envy, these guys were very eager for the title of general. Because this title represents, wealth, status, and honor.

The soldiers who followed Yun Xiao to the west began to be rewarded according to their merits, and the copper ingots in the ancestral hall were piled up into a mountain. These were the rewards they deserved, and every black-armored warrior looked forward to having their name called. For the sooner it is called, the greater the reward. And it was rewarded by the head of the family himself, and not everyone has such an honor.

The scale of this award could not catch up with the previous one, and the last time the Hun girls were picked up like cattle and sheep. This time, there was only money and no women. It's a little disappointing, but I think of those Qiang women who exude a bad smell all over their bodies. The killers have no complaints, and with money, there are a lot of good women in Chang'an City who want to marry. Why bother with those dirty Qiang women.

The copper mountain quickly disappeared, and everyone received their share of the reward. There are more and less, but generally fair. Yun Xiao can't give them absolute fairness, but relative fairness can be given.

I was busy until dusk, and then I was busy with the reward. There was a big feast in the barracks, and the food of the Yun family flowed upward. It's okay to drink freely today, and no one is going to punish them.

"From tomorrow, there will be a three-day holiday."

Taking advantage of everyone's happiness, Yun Xiao announced an even happier news. The killers let out an earth-shattering cheer and had money in their hands. You can go to the city and have fun, only alcohol and women are the best vent after the war.

However, they soon heard another military order, and they were only allowed to go to Xianyang. Not allowed to go to Chang'an. (To be continued......)
