In the end, Tietou compromised.
Fu Huanping patted him on the shoulder, confiscated his and other soldiers' weapons, and prepared to take them back and make other arrangements.
The problem is that in addition to Chen Wang’s army, there are also bandits at the scene.
Bandits have no bottom line. Including them in the team will only bring harm and no benefit.
He also heard some clues from the conversation just now.
Ling Jiren, Tietou and Maodan had known each other before, and even had some friction with each other.
The truth of the matter may have nothing to do with the Ling brothers, but there is a life involved, and everyone has their own opinions, and it is impossible to trace back.
Now I'm afraid Tietou will still remember their old relationship, so I'm afraid I'll just let it go.
But he was unwilling to give up.
If the bandits had not consumed too much of their strength, the advance team would not have been defeated like this.
Many brothers still have a chance to survive.
Just as Fu Huanping was hesitating, Maodan seemed to be stimulated by something and bumped into Tietou's knife.
The sharp blade pierced his body and blood flowed all over the ground.
Tietou only heard a "puff" sound, and before he could react, Maodan was pierced through.
He was still laughing, spitting blood and saying, "If I die, you should be able to move up two levels, right?
If you succeed in suppressing the bandits, you will be crowned the Iron-Headed General in glory and glory!"
Tietou shook his head and held the man in his arms, his whole body collapsed: "No, don't die.
Maodan, Brother Tietou doesn't have many relatives left.
As long as you are okay, Brother Tietou will take you back to the village and we will never come out again, okay?
Hairy eggs, hairy eggs!"
Tietou called out again and again, but Maodan was still gone.
The others closed their eyes, raised their hands and killed the bandits with their swords.
The sound of blood splattering did not bring Tietou back to his senses. After all the bandits were executed, Fu Huanping said, "General Tietou, congratulations! You've just surrendered to the Great Zhou and you've already made such a brave military achievement!"
Tietou came back to his senses from his sadness and nodded slightly: "Thank you!"
After saying that, he took Maodan away, found a place full of wild flowers, dug a hole and buried the person.
Ling Jihao poured out a hemostatic pill and fed it to his elder brother, then came over to help.
"Brother Tietou, I'm sorry about what happened back then. We didn't expect that the playboy from the Chen family would give Erhuzi to...
At the time, we were guarded by so many officers and soldiers that it was indeed inconvenient for us to move.
Plus, the incident happened suddenly, and by the time we wanted to stop it, it was already too late."
"I know. That young lady gave me some silver."
Ling Jihao was stunned: "You are talking about my second sister-in-law, she is indeed very kind-hearted.
If we hadn't been in trouble at the time, we would have definitely hired a doctor to help Erhuzi and his brother.
But don't worry, the playboy from the Chen family died not long after.
Drowned in the mountain torrent, not a single body was left!"
Tietou dug the pit, buried Maodan, and erected a tombstone before asking, "How did you survive such a big wildfire?"
Ling Jihao scratched his head and said, "I fell into a cave by accident and just managed to survive."
Tietou pulled up a bitter smile: "God is helping you."
Turning around, he asked Maodan, "So, what are you obsessed with?"
The wind blew gently across the hills, causing the wild flowers in front of the tomb to sway.
Tietou closed his eyes and followed Fu Huanping away.
When he returned to Jiangning Prefecture, he found that his brothers were still there and he breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s a pity that King Chen’s young life will remain here forever.
Tietou used his newly-acquired military achievements to exchange for a funeral for King Chen.
Seeing that he was kind and righteous, Zhou Chengyu agreed.
The funeral will be held in three days, during which time Zhou's army will carry out finishing work.
Seeing that they were not needed, Ling Jiren and Ling Jihao asked for leave and wanted to go back to the old house.
Zhou Chengyu knew the brothers' background and waved his hand, letting them do their own thing.
Ling Jiren left the camp and looked at the familiar streets and dilapidated houses, feeling like he was in a dream.
When has the wealthy Jiangning Prefecture ever been so miserable?
Even if there was a flood that year, it has been so long, shouldn’t it have recovered yet?
Youzhou City is thriving, but Jiangning Prefecture is getting worse and worse?
No one gave him an answer, so Ling Jiren walked and walked, and finally arrived at the Ling family's old house.
Looking at the house with no tiles left, I felt indescribably sad.
This was his home, the place where he grew up. After just three years of absence, it was just an empty shell.
He remembered that Gao Hongbin did not steal everything.
The furniture, the vases and porcelain, the bedding and cotton clothes were all locked in the house.
He even had the delusion that one day he would be able to buy the house back.
Now it's completely empty, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't lost. It's like I don't have a home anymore.
Ling Jihao looked at the house in disbelief. There was no door or window, and half of the wall was demolished.
I thought that if the roof had tiles, this place would probably become a beggar's den.
After walking around several courtyards, he would have suspected that he had come to the wrong place if the layout had not changed.
Seeing Ling Jiren standing there for a long time without moving, Ling Jihao patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, go back!"
Let the memories stay at the best time.
Ling Jiren nodded and strode away from the place.
I went to see the Chen family's old house, the Li family's old house, and the Han family's old house on the way, and found that they were as dilapidated as the Ling family's old house.
The strange thing is that there are no signs that any of the houses have been occupied or lived in.
Later, when I asked Tietou, I learned that after they were exiled, the locals felt it was unlucky and stayed away from several of their houses.
Even after the Great Yong Dynasty was destroyed, Prince Chen occupied Jiangning Prefecture.
The common people who were struggling to survive here also felt that the confiscated houses were public property, and if they occupied them without permission, they would be driven out at best, and killed at worst.
It’s not necessary, it’s really not necessary.
Jiangning Prefecture had experienced floods and plagues, and there were not many people left.
There are empty houses everywhere, why take risks just for a moment of pleasure, don't you think?
Upon learning that the Ling family's old house had long been uninhabitable, Zhou Chengyu comforted them with a few words and asked the clerk to issue a certificate to the two of them, returning the Ling family's old house to Old Master Ling.
As a reward for the two people's life and death.
Of course, the reward cannot be just a shabby house. In addition to generous gold and silver, it must also be a promotion to a higher position.
However, the war is not over yet, so for now, I can only promote the two of them. When the world is stabilized in the future, I will return to Youzhou and give them more rewards.
Zhou Chengyu looked at Zhou Jiajun busy and asked them, "Do you want to go home for the New Year?"
"I want to, how can I not want to!"
Ling Jiren spent the New Year at home last year due to a leg injury, but Ling Jihao hasn't been home since joining the army.
Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, both of them missed home very much.
Ling Jiren missed his lovely son and daughter, while Ling Jihao missed his parents who treated him like treasures.
But the sky is high and the road is long, they can't go back, nor do they dare to go back at such a critical moment.
Zhou Chengyu said "hmm" in an unfathomable way and left.
Ling Jiren touched the bandage on his neck and felt that the wound was not so painful anymore, so he stood up to help clean up.
Ling Jihao followed closely behind.
