Hearing Gao He's voice, Du Bugui, who was pumping the bellows, turned around to take a look, and then said indifferently: "You've got the wrong person."
"No!"
Gao He stepped forward and said confidently: "When you were in Shuobei, you performed horseback archery in front of the emperor and received his praise!"
"You got the wrong person."
Du Guiyuan said this again and continued to pull the bellows.
Gao He wanted to say more, but Yun Zheng stopped him: "Do you know this person?"
"Um!"
Gao He nodded: "So he is the leader of the Bloody Army!"
Bloody Army?
Yun Zheng asked doubtfully: "What Bloody Army?"
...
...
"You don't even know about the Bloody Army?"
Shen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng with disdain and couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Didn’t he clamor to go to Shuobei?
You don’t even know about the Blood-Clothed Army?
Ye Zi smiled and said, "The Blood Robe Army is the most elite unit of the Northern Army. It is said that the Blood Robe Army has less than 500 members, and the conditions for joining are extremely harsh."
"They are covered in blood every time they fight, so they are called the Bloody Army!"
"Unfortunately, in the battle of Shuobei five years ago, the Blood Clothes Army suffered extremely heavy losses, with only one in ten surviving! After that, they completely disappeared..."
Hearing Ye Zi's words, Yun Zheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The Northern Army guarding Shuobei has an army of 200,000!
Selecting less than 500 people from an army of 200,000, just think about it and you will know how elite the Blood-Cloth Army is!
This is the special forces of the Dagan Dynasty!
Yun Zheng stared at Du Guiyuan with burning eyes: "Since you are the leader of the Blood Clothes Army, why are you willing to make a living by forging iron here?"
"Don't ask such stupid questions!" Shen Luoyan glared at Bai Yunzheng unhappily and pointed at Du Bugui's broken arm.
Yun Zheng paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What I mean is, with Commander Du's achievements, he should have received a lot of rewards, right? You don't need to make a living by forging iron!"
"What does it have to do with you? Go wherever you want!"
Du Guiyuan snorted and continued to pull the bellows.
"Commander Du, please don't be rude!"
Gao He quickly stopped Du Guiyuan, "This is the Sixth Prince of the dynasty!"
The Sixth Prince?
The blacksmiths who were working on the ironwork stopped their work immediately and knelt down to pay their respects: "I greet the Sixth Prince!"
Du Guiyuan looked at Yun Zheng and knelt down reluctantly, "I don't know you, Sixth Prince. I'm sorry for the offense. Please forgive me."
He is now a commoner and should perform the ritual of kneeling and worshipping.
"Ignorance is not a crime! Everyone, get up!"
Yun Zheng raised his hand slightly and repeated the question.
Du Guiyuan stood up but said nothing.
It was a blacksmith beside him who answered for him: "Your Highness, you don't know that most of the pensions of Boss Du's brothers were embezzled. Boss Du felt guilty towards his brothers in the Blood Shirt Army, so he distributed all the rewards to the families of the fallen soldiers in the Blood Shirt Army..."
I see!
Yun Zheng suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Commander Du is kind and righteous!"
Du Guiyuan shook his head gently, "Your Highness, please just call me by my name. I am no longer the leader of the Blood-Cloaked Army!"
"Alright!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly and said straight to the point: "Blacksmithing is not suitable for you. You should fight the enemy on the battlefield! Come with me to Shuobei!"
Shuobei?
Du Guiyuan's heart ached, and he shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness! But I am just a useless person now, and I can no longer fight in the battlefield."
"Waste?"
Yun Zheng laughed dumbly, "What a coincidence, I am also a useless person, a useless loser!"
Du Guiyuan was slightly stunned and looked at Yun Zheng in surprise.
He had heard that the current Sixth Prince was a waste.
However, the Sixth Prince actually admitted in front of him that he was a coward?
This made him feel a little unbelievable.
"Nothing strange."
Yun Zheng smiled indifferently, "To be honest, I am going to Shuobei just to die on the battlefield! You useless man, don't you want to die gloriously on the battlefield? The two of us can be companions."
Yun Zheng was also a soldier before he traveled through time.
He believed that he could understand Du Guiyuan.
How could such a brave general not be willing to die on the battlefield?
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Shen Luoyan almost jumped up and smashed his head.
This bastard!
He is determined to go to Shuobei to die, right?
Does he really want me to be a widow for the rest of my life?
Du Guiyuan was also shocked by Yun Zheng's words. After a moment, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, the battle five years ago not only broke my arm, but also knocked out my courage! I no longer have the courage to go to the battlefield again..."
"Then go and regain your courage!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and pointed at Ye Zi beside him and said, "My sister-in-law's husband also died in the Shuobei battlefield. Last night I asked her if she regretted not being able to see her late husband for the last time. Guess what she said?"
Um?
Shen Luoyan was surprised.
Did Yun Zheng talk about this with his sister-in-law last night?
Du Guiyuan said sadly: "I am all ears!"
Yun Zheng took a deep breath and said quietly, "She said: Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, why should we return home wrapped in horsehide..."
As Yun Zheng's voice fell, several people's hearts trembled suddenly.
Chen Luoyan savored the poem carefully, and then looked at his sister-in-law with admiration.
She never expected that her weak sister-in-law could write such heroic poems.
My father and brother are totally worthy of this poem!
Yeah, I must ask my sister-in-law to tell me the complete poem later!
Facing Shen Luoyan's admiring gaze, Ye Zi couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.
How could I have written this myself?
This was clearly written by your husband himself!
This Sixth Prince is indeed a hidden talent!
Just from this one line of poetry, we can tell that the Sixth Prince is definitely a man with great ambitions!
Moreover, he is also a passionate man!
No wonder he was determined to go to Shuobei!
He really wants to go to Shuobei and make great achievements!
Even, he was ready to die on the battlefield!
"Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains..."
Du Guiyuan muttered to himself, repeating this poem over and over again.
Unconsciously, Du Bugui's eyes became moist.
After a long while, Du Guiyuan rubbed his eyes, bowed to Ye Zi and said, "Thank you, Madam! I am willing to lend this poem to the fallen soldiers of my Bloody Army. They can die with their eyes closed..."
Ye Zi's lips curled slightly, and she glanced at Yun Zheng with a reproachful look before she said, "Commander Du, you are too kind! Commander Du is also a man of steel and blood. Even if he lost an arm, he really shouldn't be buried here."
"Yes! Madam's poem has enlightened me."
Du Guiyuan nodded heavily and immediately knelt in front of Yun Zheng again: "I am willing to follow Your Highness to Shuobei. Even if I am torn to pieces, I will die gloriously on the battlefield!"
"Get up!"
Yun Zheng helped Du Guiyuan up and handed all the silver notes he had just earned from selling gifts and the several hundred taels of silver notes he already had on him to Du Guiyuan.
"Your Highness, you can't do that!"
Du Guiyuan quickly refused.
"Take it!"
Yun Zheng stuffed the banknote into his hand and said, "Consider it as my compensation to them on behalf of my father."
Since ancient times, there have always been corrupt officials.
After going through layers of exploitation, how much of the pensions for the fallen soldiers will reach their families?
Du Guiyuan was silent for a moment, and said with red eyes: "I thank Your Highness on behalf of the brothers who died in the battle!"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Yun Zheng waved his hand, "Go and take care of your business, and come find me at my house later!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng told Du Guiyuan the location of the mansion, and instructed the blacksmiths to make him a sword based on Gao He's sword, and then he led his men away.
