Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Triumph

On the seventh day of October, Wang Shizhan and the rebels were at Buzhou Pass, and the rebels stood firm.Master Wang was wounded by three thousand and killed seven hundred. On October 13th, the rebels took advantage of the night to raid, and the Yinglong army on the right wing suffered heavy losses, with no less than 5,000 casualties. On October 14th, Wang Shi shot rockets into Buzhou Pass, burned the food and grass of the rebel army, and won a great victory. On October 24th, the rebel army raided Wang Shi's food team, killing 500 people, losing half of the food and grass, and losing all the horses.

On the first day of the eleventh lunar month, the rebel army made a storm and created a thick fog to attack the king's tent. The king set out with a guide car and retreated 30 miles to form a camp. Zhuolu City, on the high platform where Yunjin lives. Spooky lying by the window, bored, holding his round face in one hand, and throwing grains for the birds with the other, "It's autumn, are you cold? When are you flying south? Or have you missed the brigade..." The iron stove is warmed with water and incense, and the aroma rises up and permeates the whole room.In the center of the room, two women were sitting opposite each other, their figures hazy in the smoke.

Master Wang's battle reports came every day, and Yun Jin and Yan Mei just sat silently facing each other, waiting for the sound of Tan Ma's hooves to break the silence outside, and it had been going on for a month and a half. "It's been a long time since I heard from Chi You..." The princess broke the silence. "The war in the west is getting fiercer and fiercer. Under the oppression of the 100,000 cloud masters, he won't have the opportunity to sneak over again." Said the goblin. "Can Chi You and the others win?" "God knows. They're unreliable men."

"A lot of people died, right?" "The Xuanyuan tribe has killed and injured more than 30,000 people, and the casualties of Chi You and the others are no less than this." "Chi You... don't let anything happen to you." "You should believe him," the goblin smiled, pulling the corners of his mouth, "didn't he say he would come back and marry you?" Yun Jin lifted the pot on the stove, "Have some tea..." The sound of horseshoes approaching like a storm made Yun Jin stunned.A team of dozens of war horses galloped along the avenue under the high platform.In the past, the scout horses who passed the news were one person and one rider. After the king's division was dispatched, there were not many horses left in Zhuolu City, and no one would gallop in such a group.The goblin's face was still calm, but the hand on her leg grabbed the hem of the skirt violently.

"The triumph of the king... the triumph of the king... the triumph of the king..." The scalding water in the pot flowed on the reed mat, over Yunjin's long skirt and Meimei's legs, but none of them noticed it. Wang Shi returned triumphantly. The light of the knife drew a bright line on the distant horizon, flags of various colors flew above the heads of the soldiers of Yunshi, and the steps of the horses were uniform, and Zhuoluyuan, which was five hundred miles away, trembled.People from the Xuanyuan tribe rushed up to the city wall, beating copper and iron pots and cheering loudly. More people held food and rice wine and knelt on both sides along the road into the city.Amid the jubilation of the crowd, the Yellow Emperor's dragon chariot appeared in the blue sky accompanied by white clouds.Liulong Yaojiao, wrapped in thousands of strands of cloud silk, galloped towards Zhuolu City with teeth and claws, and did not descend to the ground until it was close to the city gate.

A black and yellow flag fluttered in the wind in front of the Yellow Emperor's dragon chariot. The young general holding the flag held his head high and walked towards the city gate first.The dragon chariot moved slowly behind him, guarding the four great generals on the left and right, this is the majesty of the overlord of the world. On the top of the city gate, there is a head hanging.The skull of that head was probably broken, and the face was incomplete.Oddly enough, people can still see the expression on that face clearly. It made a mocking expression at everyone. Those who looked directly at the head shivered.

"Is it Gong Gong?" Yun Jin asked. "Probably so." Qi Mei restrained her demon miasma, and replied quietly in the shadow of Yun Jin. "The lunatic is dead?" the cries of the sprites were indistinct. The young general who raised the flag and led the way passed under Gonggong's head, and a drop of blood fell silently on his forehead.He wiped his forehead casually, and wiped out a bright red streak.He raised his head and looked at the mocking head.The wind blows the head and turns around in mid-air, the smile on the head's face seems to be more vivid. The young general was a little distracted.

The progress of the dragon carriage was slightly blocked, and Ying Long shouted: "Don't dawdle, hurry up and lead the way!" The young general quickly looked back and grinned.He straightened out his chest again, leading the dragon chariot forward majestically.The battle flag fluttered, covering the sky and the sun. "Princess..." Yao Yao looked at Mi Mei and said, "Princess has passed out." Qi Mei faintly appeared, supporting Yun Jin's body that was about to fall to the ground.She looked at the young general with a blank expression, "Did you see clearly? The person who led the way."

"I didn't see clearly..." Sprites covered their eyes with two chubby little hands. "I see it clearly, it's Chi You." Yan Mei said in a word. Late at night, the city of Zhuolu was peaceful. With the return of the Yellow Emperor, the city suddenly regained its vitality. There were too many drunkards in the wine shop, and they were all triumphant Yunshi soldiers.Women in twos and threes walked across the street with ladles or kitchen knives in their hands, and opened the curtains of one restaurant after another to see them. When they returned, they held their men's ears in the other hand.

On the high platform where Feng Hou lived, the gods and generals sat around and drank. "Everyone said my mother-in-law wouldn't come after me here?" Ying Long murmured a little when he saw a fierce woman holding a knife handle tightly and her eyes wide open. "The virtue of a butcher that can't be changed," Yingzhao said, "What are you afraid of? You've already been promising, you're a great general, you have status and status, are you afraid of your wife?" "Who said god generals can't be afraid of wives?" Yingzhao patted his chest, "Tell your wife, I said so!"

"General Yingzhao, Mrs. Zun is waiting below." A strange voice came from the darkness where the lights couldn't reach. Ying Zhao's drunken flushed face suddenly turned pale, "Just say I'll pack up and go home with her." Dahong took a puff of his cigarette, "Don't scare him after the wind, everyone has wives, and men should sympathize with each other." Fenghou carried a jug of wine, grinning, came out of the darkness, and sat down on the main seat, "It's nothing to scare him for fun, God blesses him, this time he came back alive. At least he won't be killed if you scare him Well." "It's only a small difference," Dahong said with a gloomy face. "After the battle in Banquan, for the first time, I felt that I probably had to save my life on the battlefield." The four great generals fell silent, and took a sip from the wine cup at the same time. "Brothers, follow up!" A loud voice suddenly came from the street below, "Raise the flag higher, so that I don't lose my prestige." Ying Long looked down.He was a tall and straight young general, riding a snow-white horse, wearing a gilded iron leaf armor, and a bright red battle robe. Several soldiers behind him raised a large banner with the word "Ginger" written on it. flag. The white horse ran away arrogantly, Ying Long curled his lips, "I'm just so happy to be named a cavalry general? This little guy is really easy to fool." Dahong shook his head, "I hope he is really easy to fool, otherwise it might be our fault." "My lord, why don't you..." Yingzhao drew back his horse, and slashed down fiercely with his right hand. "The leader of the rebel army, he will feel ashamed if he kills the king." Fenghou said: "And you have to think about who his grandfather is." Yingzhao pouted, "I know, but I just won't say it." "Let's calm down, it's good to be calm like this." Dahong took a puff of smoke, looking slightly sad. The young general let his horse trot triumphantly, and said to the soldiers behind him carrying the flag: "You look familiar." "Yes, yes," the soldier nodded hastily, "Young Master, don't you remember me? I'm Soldier B." "Your parents are really extraordinary, and the name they gave you is unique." "Actually, I don't know why. Everyone calls me Soldier B, so I think that's my name." Soldier B nodded and bowed. "Slow!" The general waved his hand suddenly, "Do you see someone blocking the way ahead?" Soldier B's eyes widened, only to see a vaguely white-clothed person standing on the road ahead, his slender body almost being swallowed by the surrounding darkness. "Young Master, isn't it haunted?" "Shh, don't say the word 'ghost'. Ghosts don't even know they are ghosts. If you say it, they will wake up." The general said, "Let's go around." "Since it's haunted, why don't we turn back?" Soldier B suggested. "I always feel that there are many eyes in the back, which looks scary..." Soldier B turned his head back and gasped.At the surrounding alleys, I don't know how many pairs of faint eyes looked over, and if you look carefully, they are all widows from Zhuolu City. The general moved on tiptoe, noiselessly, like a cat trying to get around the man to the left. But the ghost in white waved his sleeves to block the left side, the general looked carefully and saw a pair of eyes like ancient mirrors.The female ghost, as clear as snow, looked at him without saying a word. Under the moonlight, her eyes were shining brightly, and something was flowing. "Young Master!" Soldier B saw clearly, "So it's..." "Don't yell," the general yelled, "we will go around from the other side, don't disturb the dead souls, I told you earlier, say their names, and they will wake up." The general turned around, still tiptoeing, trying to go around to the right. "Chi You!" Yun Jin tightly hugged his arm. "Ah?" Chi You's face was pale, trembling, "Girl, die early and live early, don't pester the living, I don't know you." "You... what did you say?" Yun Jin felt a chill in her heart. "Oh?" Chi You stretched out his hand to touch Yunjin's arm, and said curiously, "It's strange, it's hot." He stretched out his hand to touch Yunjin's body again, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Soldier B, she is warm. This is not a ghost, this pretty girl is alive!" "Nonsense! Do you want me to introduce you to your old lovers?" Soldier B muttered. "Chi You!" A charming but angry voice rang in Chi You's ear, and a light shadow fell from the sky, "Look carefully at her face! How dare you say you don't remember her?" Chi You came back to his senses, and saw the radiant goblin floating down from the tall tree to his side.Chi You's pupils suddenly enlarged, staring at the goblin's face. "Ah! Monster!" A shrill scream echoed in the sky above Zhuolu City, and Chi You, who had just been named a cavalry general, passed out in Soldier B's arms. "I'm not a sprite... I don't have green hair..." Yan Mei combed her long hair blankly. She looked at her own shadow in the eyes of Soldier B. She looked like a beautiful girl. How could she look like a girl? monster? "Grandma, I remember you, but Young Master... seems to have lost his memory after coming back from a certain period of time!" Soldier Yi said sincerely. In Ah Luo's wine shop, the men who have not been caught by the wife are sitting around drunk. On the small table separated by a screen, an oil lamp danced slowly.Soft hands brushed over Chi You's face, but his eyes were still tightly closed.Someone next to him handed a wet cloth towel, Yun Jin took it and helped Chi You wipe the sweat off his forehead.Chi Mei folded her hands and sat on the side, staring viciously at the unconscious Chi You. "Princess, the little one really doesn't know what's going on," Soldier B muttered, "The little one is an orderly, and he didn't go to the battlefield at all." "Someone outside said that the survivors of the 100,000 hard laborers were sent back to the Yellow River for flood control, is that true?" Qi Mei raised Soldier B's chin and asked coldly. "That's right, the young masters Yu Shi and Feng Bo who were captured were also sent back." "It turns out that only the lunatic died..." Qi Mei said. She suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Chi You's neck, "Don't pretend to be dizzy! I saw you blink! If you don't get up again, I'll cut your neck off!" Chi You sat up from Yunjin's arms, hugged his head, "Spare me!" "Qi Mei, don't scare him," Yun Jin blocked the goblin with her body, "he seems to be really scared..." The proprietress A Luo brought up cold water, Chi You hid behind Yunjin, and carefully glanced at A Luo. "Young Master, do you still remember me?" A Luo asked softly. "Remember, you are A Luo," Chi You picked up a cushion to cover his face, "but I don't remember the money I owe you." A Luo smiled, "It's been three years, I almost forgot about Xing Tian, ​​what is that little money?" The widow smiled faintly and retreated, Yunjin didn't dare to look at her smile because her heart was sore. "Do you still remember me?" Yan Mei tugged at Chi You's hair. "I can't even remember such a gentle and sweet girl, how could I remember you?" Chi You whispered. "What did you say?" the goblin glared viciously. "General, you must be conscientious!" Soldier B jumped out and said righteously, "It's nothing if you don't remember a princess. You can't remember a dignified and beautiful fairy like our aunt, isn't it chilling?" "You don't need to please me!" Qi Mei kicked Soldier B out of the mat. "Chi You," Yun Jin pressed his shoulder lightly, "Then tell me what you remember, okay?" "I remember that I am the grandson of Emperor Yan, who came to Zhuolu from Jiuli." "and then?" "When I was a child, I always ran on the street, and then I always drank in restaurants, Lai Aluo's account." "Anymore?" "And then we went to war, right? I went out with the king, defeated the rebels, and came back." "Huh?" Soldier B said, "As an orderly, I know that the battle report is not like this." The goblin pressed her forehead, as if she would faint at any moment, her face was covered with angry blood red and mist. "And...is there anything else?" Yun Jin leaned closer to Chi You's face, and asked softly, "Do you remember what you said? You said you would come back...you said that under the city that day." "Did I say that?" Chi You asked back. "You forgot?" Yun Jin said softly, "I should have thought of it. Don't be afraid, I won't ask you." "Then... can I go back to sleep?" "You don't have to go, I'm leaving." Yun Jin said softly, got up and walked out of the restaurant.Yan Mei watched her staggering back, and hurriedly chased after her. "Alas!" Chi You wiped off his cold sweat, "I managed to deal with the girls away anyway, what's the mess? You asked me some strange things, it scared me to the bone. Madam, let's drink! I'm rich, and the king will reward me today." Lots of gold!" Chi You pushed away the screen and shouted to the drunkards outside: "Who is coming to drink together?" "Ah? Chi You Shaojun?" All the drunkards suddenly woke up, "Why are you back? Don't try to pull us to pay the bill for you." "I pay, I pay," Chi You patted his chest, "I've defeated the rebels, I'm in a good mood today, and everyone's drink money is on my account!" The restaurant was full of heat, the men were drinking and laughing, the night outside the restaurant was endless, and the two women stood silently in the west wind. From the small window, Yun Jin saw Chi You happily gulping down a drink, drunkenly drinking three times with a bunch of drunkards.The candlelight made him flushed, healthy and happy. "Look, he is very happy." Yun Jin murmured. "Yunjin..." Qi Mei said. The goblin couldn't go on anymore. She watched the princess kneel down slowly while leaning against the wall, tears streaming down her face. "He doesn't remember me anymore." Yun Jin cried.
