Chapter 241 Take her home
The smell of gunpowder on the battlefield filled the noses of every soldier.
Chen Yuanshu was breathing heavily, and a cloud of white mist emerged with every breath, which was then torn into countless thin threads by the cold wind and dissipated into nothingness.
The last battle of Yu State took place in a city. After discovering the An State army chasing them from behind, Ji Lingyan led everyone to the nearest city.
When the two sides met, Yun Zhi didn't give Ji Lingyan any chance to speak and directly used the Sky-shaking Thunder.
After blowing up the city, he led the entire army into the city and engaged in a fierce battle with the remaining Yu soldiers.
At this moment, looking at the soldiers of Yu State who were either dead or surrendered, Chen Yuanshu wiped the blood off his face and walked towards Ji Lingyan's body with the big knife that was still dripping with blood.
She lowered her head and looked at the blood flowing from his neck, which had now dried up.
At first, they did not think of killing Ji Lingyan directly on the battlefield, but he was unlucky and a piece of iron from the explosion of the thunder bomb happened to pass through the side of his neck.
The impact instantly cut his flesh, and he fell to the ground before he could be taken away by his confidants for treatment.
Chen Yuanshu squatted down, stretched out her index finger close to his nose, and after making sure that he was no longer breathing, she stood up and walked towards Yun Zhi.
"Your Majesty, Ji Lingyan is dead." Chen Yuanshu said with a bow.
Yun Zhi nodded slightly, her expression not changing much. "Give orders to clean up the battlefield and recruit the surrendered troops. Also, hold a celebration banquet in the army tonight to reward the soldiers of the three armies."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Yuanshu took the order and left.
After Yunzhi left, Chen Yuanshu and several generals began to organize soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
"Hurry up! His Majesty said that a celebration banquet will be held tonight. Let's finish it early so we can all relax!" Chen Yuanshu shouted.
Hearing the words "celebration banquet", the soldiers finally felt a sense of reality.
They won, the State of Yu was defeated by them, and they were one step closer to unification.
"Hahahaha." A centurion laughed heartily. "Brothers and sisters, let's hurry up and have a good drink tonight!"
Everyone responded and quickened the pace of cleaning.
Because of the use of thunder bombs today, the army did not suffer serious casualties, and most of the bodies they were cleaning up at the moment were enemy corpses.
After cleaning up the battlefield, incorporating the surrendered soldiers, and comforting the people in the city, it was already getting dark.
As night falls, the celebration banquet begins.
Yun Zhi sat in the first seat with a faint smile on her face.
The flames from the bonfire in the middle shot up into the sky, illuminating the area several feet away.
"Today's battle is thanks to the contributions of all the soldiers. The glory of Anguo is created by you! I would like to offer a toast to you all!" Yun Zhi raised his glass.
Everyone raised their glasses and shouted in unison: "Long live His Majesty! Long live An Guo!"
After three rounds of drinks, all the soldiers relaxed, laughing and talking, it was very lively.
Wang Hu raised his glass and asked excitedly, "Your Majesty, now that we have conquered Yu, our army's morale has been greatly boosted. Should we immediately march north to attack Liao?"
Yun Zhi took a sip of wine and said, "Rest for a few days first. You have all followed me in battles over the past year and have worked hard. Once we have sufficient food and supplies, we can make plans."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu shouted, "Your Majesty, please be considerate. We will dedicate ourselves to the security of our country!"
Everyone echoed and the atmosphere was lively.
The celebration banquet lasted until late at night, and the soldiers gradually dispersed.
Yun Zhi walked back to the tent where she was resting, picked up the ink stick and ground the ink slowly.
The flickering candlelight illuminated her pensive face.
In the candlelight, her shadow could be clearly seen on the tent.
Seeing the clear water turn into ink, Yun Zhi put the ink stick aside, took the brush beside him, dipped it in the ink, and picked up the pen to write a letter to Liu Anruo on the letter paper.
There are three things written above. The first is to prepare food and military equipment to be sent over, the second is to send 200,000 troops to join the Liao border, and the third is to let Liu Anruo arrange people to take over here.
After writing, Yunzhi blew the ink off the paper and sealed the letter.
Just wait until dawn and let your confidant send it out.
After doing all this, Yun Zhi walked to the bed, climbed onto it, closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly.
……
In December, there were gusts of cold wind in the Anguo Imperial City.
After avenging his sister, Su Lejin rented a carriage and set out for the Anguo Imperial City.
This was also the agreement between her and Manager Feng, that she would take her home.
The carriage was shaking slightly. Su Lejin looked down at the urn in his arms, stroking it gently with his fingers.
More than a month ago, Feng Nong Yue couldn't hold on any longer and closed his eyes forever.
At that time, the Anguo army was about to attack.
On his deathbed, Feng Nong Yue held her hand and repeatedly told her not to worry, that even if she died, someone would fulfill the things he promised her.
Tell her not to worry, she will definitely arrest the Chen family and let her deal with them when the time comes.
Look at Feng Nong Yue, who never forgets the promise between them until death and promises to fulfill it.
Su Lejin sat down on the bed, looked at her and said softly, "Shopkeeper Feng, you said... your hometown is beautiful."
When talking about his hometown, Feng Nong Yue's eyes softened.
"Yes, it's beautiful there. Our area is mountainous, and every summer the mountains produce a lot of raspberries, wild grapes, and mulberries. Children love them, and we... like them too. I once went to pick them with my sisters."
"There are many rivers and canals there, and many people go there to fish in the summer. Oh, and there's a place called Peach Blossom Creek, which is perfect for spring outings. The peach blossoms are really beautiful when they bloom. If you have a chance, you should go and see it."
Feng Nong Yue spoke intermittently, talking about whatever came to his mind.
At this moment, she was lying on the bed with a faint smile on her lips, her eyes full of longing for her hometown.
At the end of her speech, she looked at Su Lejin, who was listening carefully, a little embarrassedly, "Did I say too much?"
Su Lejin's eyes were slightly red, and he shook his head, "No, Shopkeeper Feng, I really like listening to you talk about this."
Feng Nong Yue sighed softly, "I haven't been back for more than five years. I don't know what it's like there. I..."
Can't see it anymore.
Su Lejin gently held Feng Nongyue's hand and said, "Shopkeeper Feng, after hearing your description, I really want to go and see it. I'll take you home and show you there, okay?"
Hearing this, Feng Nongyue's frail face broke into a smile, her eyes filled with joy. "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. My home is in Wuyi Lane, Yanglou Street, Imperial City. There's a big pear tree at the door."
"Okay, I've written it down."
The day after their conversation, Feng Nong Yue passed away.
After burning Feng Nong Yue's body into ashes and putting it into the urn, Su Lejin kept it with him.
After finishing all the matters there, Su Lejin set off for the capital with the urn.
Along the way, she stopped and walked, and saw the beautiful scenery that Feng Nong Yue had described.
As she said, it is indeed beautiful.
After nearly ten days of travel, the carriage finally arrived at the imperial city.
"Miss Su, we've arrived at the Imperial City."
Hearing the coachman's voice outside, Su Lejin tightened his clothes and walked out of the carriage.
She took out the silver that had been agreed upon and handed it to the groom. "Thank you, Master. You have worked hard on the journey."
The groom took the silver and said with a smile, "Miss Su, you are so polite. I wish you all the best in the Imperial City."
After saying that, he drove away.
Su Lejin stood there, looking at the prosperous imperial city with surprise in his eyes. It was only dawn, but the streets were already bustling with people.
This place is actually much more prosperous than the imperial city of Yu State.
She exhaled, lowered her head, and whispered to the urn in her arms, "Manager Feng, we've arrived at your hometown."
Su Lejin followed the address Feng Nongyue gave him and asked for directions all the way to Wuyi Lane.
Stopping in front of the vermilion door, she took a deep breath and walked forward to knock on the door.
Just then, the door suddenly opened.
Looking at the person in emerald green clothes, Su Lejin looked him up and down, "Are you Feng Huaying?"
Feng Huaying was stunned at first, then looked at Su Lejin in confusion, "Who are you? How do you know my name? What are you doing here?"
In response to her three consecutive questions, Su Lejin simply said softly, "I'll take... Feng Nongyue home."
