The Xifeng Channel did not collapse into a crack again.
After it closed completely, it disappeared completely.
However, no one was happy about this, neither Wu Xian nor the soldiers of the two countries who gradually learned part of the truth.
......
At four o'clock in the afternoon on October 23, the battle to retake Western Xinjiang was officially declared a victory!
At the same time, Yun Sheng, chairman of the Martial Arts Alliance, and Marshal Xiao Yilan, commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army, jointly issued an arrest warrant.
Ten minutes later, Liu Songming, Chief of Staff and temporary commander-in-chief of the Western Xinjiang Defense Army, was arrested.
Also arrested were seven generals and more mid- and low-level military officers.
At 11 p.m., after an emergency military court trial, Liu Songming, Fu Yanru and 57 others were sentenced to death and executed immediately.
The remaining 200 or so accomplices were sentenced to life imprisonment.
The next day, rumors circulated in the army.
It is said that several martial immortals whose names are not convenient to be disclosed personally participated in the execution.
That night, the wailing at the execution ground continued until dawn.
......
On October 24, Yunsheng rushed to the abyss rifts in Beihai, Baishan, Lingnan and other places where martial immortals were stationed.
He successively met the "Boxing Saint" Lu Sanjiang, who ranked third on the Martial Immortal List, Zhou Qing, who ranked seventh, Yang Hanshan, who ranked eleventh, and Xiang Tianming, who ranked sixteenth.
On October 25, the Martial Arts Alliance and the Chinese government jointly launched an internal purge operation code-named "Qingyuan".
The target of the operation was dozens of large families and their vassal forces, including Zhou, Yang, Liu, and Han, who had committed "harmful acts" before and after the Western Xinjiang campaign.
Within one day, more than 10,000 people were arrested across the country.
Among them are more than 20 family heads, nearly a thousand direct members, and thousands of complicated collateral branches and vassals from other families.
After a quick trial by the joint investigation team, the people involved were sentenced to death, abolishment of cultivation, imprisonment, exile to the Abyss Rift and other punishments according to the severity of their crimes.
After this incident, the aristocratic families that had dominated China for two hundred years were not only uprooted but also severely damaged.
......
On October 26, the Chinese military decided to disband the Western Xinjiang Defense Force as soon as possible, and immediately initiate the troop repatriation and organization disbandment operations, clarifying the repatriation time limit, equipment transfer standards and transportation support plans for each temporary unit.
......
October 28, Sichuan, a small town.
Zheng Ye, with a scruffy beard and carrying a washed-out gray-green backpack, walked in the familiar yet unfamiliar bluestone alley.
In late autumn in Sichuan, the air is damp and cold, and the stone steps are covered with moss.
A few playful children stopped and followed him, looking curiously at the tired and lonely man.
Zheng Ye ignored him and just walked forward numbly.
After turning another corner, an old lady who was busy at the door stopped and stared at him for a long time.
"Are you... the kid from the Zheng family? Xiaoye?"
Zheng Ye paused and nodded.
"Hey! Xiao Ye is back! Xiao Ye from the Zheng family is back!"
The old lady's voice was very loud, and her joyful shouts echoed in the alley.
Zheng Ye shook his head bitterly and continued to move forward.
After turning the last alley, he saw the familiar gate of his own courtyard.
The courtyard gate was wide open. A woman and a half-grown girl were leaning against each other, standing at the door, looking at him with tears in their eyes.
Click.
The military bag fell to the ground.
This iron-like man on the battlefield stood there in a daze, motionless.
The silence lasted for about ten seconds.
His wife and daughter could no longer bear it and rushed over, one on each side, hugging him tightly.
Zheng Ye hugged this one, kissed that one, and forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.
"dad!"
His daughter, who was hugging his arm, seemed to have discovered something and suddenly let go of him, lifted up his sleeves, pinched and touched him.
Then the girl cried out in surprise.
"Your hand! Your hand has grown!"
“…”
Zheng Ye's forced smile froze on his face.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly raised the new, flesh-and-blood arm and looked at it again and again.
“Woo—”
The next moment, he covered his face with his hands, his shoulders shook violently, and the crying that he had suppressed for a long time finally got out of control.
......
October 29, Liaoning Province, a county town.
Qin Lan was wearing a tattered military uniform, carrying a backpack, holding on to the cold stair railing, and moving upstairs step by step, woodenly.
Her home was on the third floor, but she was in a daze and didn't stop until she reached the corner platform on the third and a half floor.
She stood there stiffly for a long time before turning back.
Standing in front of the mottled, old green safe door, she unzipped her backpack and searched for her key.
But after groping in the bag for a long time, I found nothing.
Just as I was feeling discouraged, footsteps were suddenly heard downstairs.
Qin Lan was stunned for a moment, lowered her head to rummage through her bag, and stepped aside to make way for the person coming.
At this moment, an older, hoarse female voice sounded in her ears.
"Xiao Lan?"
Qin Lan looked up in surprise.
Suddenly, she saw her mother's familiar face, but after only two years, half of her mother's hair had turned white.
Her nose felt a little sore, and when she lowered her head, she saw a little girl of two or three years old in her mother's arms, staring at her curiously with a pair of big black eyes.
Qin Lan's tense spirit suddenly broke!
She immediately hugged her mother and the little body in her arms and burst into tears.
