Chapter 684: A Moment of Silence

Jiang Lianzhu came over to accompany the old man.

"Father!"

The War King's face was flushed. "It's snowing outside today. How about we not go today? It's hard for the golden eagle to fly in the snow."

Jiang Lianzhu said, "It's okay. Golden Eagles have flown even in heavy rain. It's just a little snow, and there's no wind, so just fly a little slower. I looked at the map and Shangrao City isn't too far from our capital. It's not as remote as Dating Lake in Daliangzhou. I guess it won't take half a night."

As he was speaking, Liao Jiu brought his parents back.

"We also need to prepare some fresh offerings to worship Mother. Father, what did Mother like to eat? It's New Year's Day, we can't go empty-handed..."

Yes, Liao Jiu wants to go too.

Meet the mother-in-law.

The most important thing is to accompany his wife. He is worried about her flying alone late at night.

It's okay for him, a grown man, to fly alone at night, but his wife is a girl, what if something happens to her?

The more Zhan Wang looked at Liao Jiu, the more he liked her. "Man'er used to like eating peanuts, pears, plums and other fruits. You can just bring some."

Jiang Lianzhu: Yes, these are common things, and they are readily available.

"Then I'll make a peanut roll for Mom. I have some autumn pear paste, maybe Mom likes it. Plums are not available in this season, but dried plums are available. I can make a dessert with them..."

Just do it.

Only by making it by hand can she express her filial piety.

This is the first time I’m offering sacrifices to my mother. If her spirit is still in heaven, she will surely be happy.

Fortunately, making these things was not difficult for Jiang Lianzhu and she finished them quickly.

While Jiang Lianzhu was making the sacrifice, Liao Jiu fed the golden eagle, gave it extra food, and added some warm cushions.

It's snowy, so you have to be fully armed.

Golden eagles are getting stronger and stronger now, and they no longer need to wear night-shining pearls when flying at night. They have less things to worry about and just need to keep themselves warm. If they are brave enough, they can even take a nap on the golden eagle, and when they wake up, they will have reached their destination.

Jiang Lianzhu and his wife were ready and waved goodbye to the War King.

The couple is not in the capital or the palace. Tonight, Prince Zhan is staying in the palace to keep order.

The closer it is to the New Year, the more vigilant we must be.

Shangrao City.

It was just dawn. It had snowed all night last night, and the sky was brighter than usual as the morning light began to emerge.

Early in the morning, the city was still quiet.

There are firecracker remnants at the doorsteps of every household. These are the firecrackers that were set off last night on New Year’s Eve.

In a courtyard somewhere in the City Lord's Mansion, a young man pushed the door open and walked out.

The attendants hurried over with cloaks, "Erlang Jun, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's snowing today, and the charcoal is burning in the house to keep it warm. It's also New Year's Day. Sleeping an extra hour or two is just the right time to relax and rest."

The young man said sullenly, "No need."

The attendants on both sides put on Dafeng's cloak.

Erlangjun stepped out.

The thick snow in the yard had already been shoveled out a path.

Erlangjun walked down the stairs.

At this moment, he suddenly looked up at the sky as if he had a telepathic connection.

In the gray sky, two large birds seemed to fly past...

At first glance, Erlangjun thought he was dazzled, but at the second glance, he was refreshed, and the distraction and confusion he had felt since waking up earlier disappeared completely.

He pulled his cloak tighter and strode out.

***

Jiang Lianzhu really took a nap on the golden eagle.

The improved large seat installed by Liao Jiu on the back of the golden eagle is very comfortable, warm and windproof. They also have night vision capabilities, a wider visual range, more stable flight and faster speed.

It’s a pity that it snowed lightly last night and the weather was not very good, otherwise we would have reached Shangrao City a long time ago.

"Wife, wake up... We're in Shangrao City!"

Jiang Lianzhu opened her eyes and saw a sky covered with snow and fog, with a large city vaguely visible below.

Everything was covered in snow and fog. Only because of her good eyesight could she see a little bit clearly. Otherwise, she could not see anything at all.

Jiang Lianzhu signaled Ji Feng to descend, "Be quiet, the people still don't seem to be awake..."

Chengfeng and Jifeng have a little problem. When they arrive at a new place, they like to whistle, as if they are trying to occupy the territory.

It is just like when people go out to travel, they like to write “XX has been here” to express their feelings.

Ji Feng purred, indicating that he understood and finally stopped shouting.

Jiang Lianzhu descended to a certain distance and gradually took in the appearance of the entire city.

The layout is square, the roads are wide, and there are many houses. Every household hangs red lanterns and posts big red couplets. Some roads are hung with red lanterns, and the upper half is filled with snowflakes, which look very beautiful in red and white.

The first impression is pretty good.

"Liao Jiu, look at the map. Where is my mother's grave?"

"My father said there's a mountain east of the city with tombstones of the martyrs under the War King. It's called the War King's Tomb! My mother's tomb is on the top of the mountain. My father meant to reserve a tomb for himself on the mountaintop, right next to my mother's. In the future, after he dies, he can accompany my mother and be with the souls of the fallen soldiers..."

In a word, this mountain is filled with the closest friends and subordinates whom the War King cannot let go of and who passed away before him.

The soldiers in the Blood Battle Army are all proud to be buried in the War King's Tomb after their death!

Jiang Lianzhu glanced at Liao Jiu. He kept calling "our dad" and "our mom". How could he be so cool?

"Go to the east of the city!"

The two golden eagles flapped their wings and disappeared over the city in a few moments, heading to the hilltop east of the city.

Jiang Lianzhu was shocked!

There are tombstones and graves all over the mountains. If you look closely, you will find that they are all numbered with the XXX team of the Bloody Battle Army. They are all cenotaphs of the martyrs.

It can be seen how many people have experienced life and death following the King of War!

The peace of Da'an Kingdom was achieved at the cost of the lives of the soldiers.

His name will be remembered through the ages.

She heard from Liao Jiu that many people were proud to be buried here, and she thought there were not many people here at the moment. Now it seems that the whole mountain is full and has spread to the neighboring hills.

Jiang Lianzhu took off the big soft leather hat on her head and paid silent tribute to the martyrs who died heroically below.

Liao Jiu also did the same.

This is his first time here too.

How can one not be shocked by such a spectacular scene?

The two men had heavy hearts. They dismounted the golden eagle at the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain step by step. Every soldier who died for the country deserves respect.

As we walked up the mountain, we paid our respects to every tombstone we saw.

Halfway through their journey, a gravekeeper caught up with them.

They revealed their identities, and the gravekeeper was in awe. He asked if there was anything he could help them with and wanted to take them to the top of the mountain. Jiang Lianzhu refused. She had already found this place and didn't need a guide. She didn't want to disturb others, nor did she want others to disturb them.
