Chapter 529: Going Home (Happy New Year)
Boss Li followed Gu Nanxi into the city. When he passed the city gate that was blown open by explosives, he was secretly shocked.
He is worthy of being a great general. He uses explosives better than I do. Look, the city gate has been blown to pieces.
At the city gate, Ma Nantian led a group of representatives of the Han ethnic groups to welcome them.
Thanks to their great help, order was quickly restored in Wuzhou City.
After Gu Nanxi met with representatives from various families in Wuzhou City, he accepted Ma Nantian’s invitation and went to the Ma family to rest for a while.
Along the way, Gu Nanxi was very silent.
A group of people walked to the door of the Ma family, and Gu Nanxi apologized to Ma Nantian solemnly.
"I'm sorry, we later sent people to look for her, but we couldn't find any trace of Yuanniang."
Ma Nantian's hand that was pushing the door stopped in mid-air, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
Gu Nanxi opened her mouth, but couldn't utter any words of comfort.
On this grassland, being alone is a very scary thing even in peacetime. Yuanniang is most likely in great danger.
Squeak.
The door of the Ma family was opened from the inside out. A little kid poked his head out, glanced at Gu Nanxi curiously, then quickly lowered his head, grinned, and laughed silently.
Ma Nantian picked up Luoboting and introduced him to Gu Nanxi: "General, this is the kid from back then, Ma Danggui."
Gu Nanxi's gaze fell on Ma Danggui. His face was covered with bruises and his left arm was in a cast, but his big watery eyes were staring at her. His clear eyes allowed one to see through his excitement and admiration.
Gu Nanxi touched Ma Danggui's little head, lowered her voice, and greeted him gently: "It's been a long time since we last met. Hello, Ma Danggui."
Ma Danggui's whole body turned red. He struggled to get down, then bowed to Gu Nanxi like a little adult.
"Ma Danggui from the Ma family of Wuzhou, I pay my respects to the general!"
Gu Nanxi also helped Ma Danggui up as if he were an adult: "No need to be polite."
When people around saw this scene, they all smiled happily.
Unexpectedly, Ma Danggui’s next words made everyone nervous.
Ma Danggui looked straight at Gu Nanxi with her watery eyes, but her childish voice was firm and powerful.
He said, "General, my grandfather once told me that you named me Danggui because you wanted Wuzhou to return home. There is also a road called Dingbei Road in Fuming Town. I want to ask, has Wuzhou returned home now?"
This question is also on the minds of all the people in Wuzhou.
Wuzhou was taken by the general, and then what? Will the Great Zhou court recognize it?
You know, when the general pushed the boundary marker to the foot of Wuzhou city, the Zhou court refused to recognize it!
If Wuzhou is recognized, who will govern it? Will the Han people who once lived under the Tartars be treated differently? Will they be driven out of Wuzhou?
From a selfish point of view, the people of Wuzhou City only recognize Gu Nanxi and only obey Gu Nanxi!
Only the general would not cede Wuzhou easily!
Gu Nanxi felt the hot and uneasy gazes around her.
Gu Nanxi looked around and said firmly, "Of course I'm going home! We in Yunzhou all think that the bigger the territory, the better!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out all around.
What the general meant was that even if the imperial court did not recognize it, Wuzhou would be incorporated into Yunzhou! This was the best result everyone was looking forward to!
Ma Danggui grinned and clapped his hands non-stop: "That's great! When my mother comes back, I will definitely tell her the good news!"
Ma Nantian, who was standing by, burst into tears.
Gu Nanxi also felt very sad.
Gu Nanxi glanced at Ma Nantian’s white hair, then looked at Ma Danggui who was not even as tall as her legs, and made a decision.
She squatted down, looked at Ma Danggui straight in the eye, and asked earnestly, "Danggui, I love you very much, and I think you and I are destined to be together. I want to take you as my godson, are you willing?"
Gu Nanxi's words shocked everyone into silence.
Who is Gu Nanxi?
She is the sky of Yunzhou. She is the Duke of Yun who recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun and completely drove the Tartars out of the grassland, making immortal contributions!
Her achievements are unprecedented and unparalleled.
Moreover, many people have a vague feeling in their hearts that Duke Yun’s ambitions are far more than just this!
Who is Ma Nantian?
No matter what, Ma Nantian is just a businessman in Wuzhou City. If you dig deeper, you will find that there are Tartars in the Ma family caravan!
Faced with such a great opportunity, Ma Danggui did not dare to make any decision on his own, but looked to his grandfather for help.
Ma Nantian was terrified. It was naturally a blessing for the Ma family to be able to marry the general.
But, how can the Ma family be worthy? !
Gu Nanxi saw Ma Nantian's concerns and simply said it out loud: "Since the establishment of Yunzhou, your Ma family has supported our Yunzhou with all your strength, regardless of danger. Including this battle, the news from Yuanniang has been of great help to us."
"Our Yunzhou style of doing things has always been to reward meritorious service and punish crimes regardless of status. Ma Danggui is still young, I will definitely protect him and let him grow up safely."
Ma Nantian felt sore and swollen in his heart that he couldn't say anything. He could only pull Ma Danggui to kneel down together.
Ma Danggui was also smart and understood what his grandfather meant immediately. He kowtowed three times and said, "Danggui greets his adopted grandmother."
This operation also made many families in the city feel relieved.
Which big family that could survive in Wuzhou City had not had dealings with the Tartars?
By accepting Ma Danggui, Gu Nanxi was actually telling everyone in disguise that as long as the things they did in the past to survive did not constitute treason, they would be forgiven.
Gu Nanxi was very considerate and rested at the Ma family for a night.
The Ma family got such a big advantage, so naturally they wanted to make the recognition process perfect.
Gu Nanxi: "Yunzhou is still waiting for me to return. When everything is settled, we will hold a good event. Danggui, being my grandson will be a pressure for you. Others will set high standards and high requirements for you. If you do well, it is what you deserve. If you do not do well, it will be a discredit to me. Are you mentally prepared?"
Ma Danggui said firmly: "I'm not afraid!"
Gu Nanxi patted Ma Danggui's shoulder and finally showed a trace of fatigue.
Ma Nantian was very tactful and retreated with Ma Danggui.
Although she was extremely tired, Gu Nanxi lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The cold moonlight shines through the window onto the ground, and the night breeze brings a hint of coolness.
Gu Nanxi sat up and stared at a tree in the yard in a daze.
Yunzhou... Yunzhou...
The sun had just risen, and Boss Li thought he had gotten up very early, but he found that the general had already washed and dressed, and was waiting for everyone in the yard.
The desire to return home is the same.
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen got up early and were ready to go.
Gu Nanxi rode on a white horse, waved his right hand, and shouted: "Go home!"
"Go home!" The soldiers' shouts were deafening.
