Rest in peace…
This sob that sounded like a murmur made many people's hearts ache. Those proud and aloof white figures had long been imprinted in everyone's minds.
"General, take care!"
Everyone knelt down in the direction where the riders had left and kowtowed heavily.
This was the last journey!
Second Emperor Li was also looking in the same direction with a dull gaze. His expression was sad, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Fang Xuanling and the other officials did not disturb them and just stood there quietly. Everyone sighed in their hearts.
This astonishing cavalry had descended in an extremely shocking manner, but they were like meteors that streaked across the sky.
But it was incomparably resplendent!
"Apothecary, prepare for battle! I want to destroy the Turks within a year!”A fierce look flashed across Second Emperor Li's eyes.
"Here!"
Li Jing said.
...
Mr. Tang was lying on the bow of the boat, curled up and sleeping soundly.
"Sigh…"
Old Master Han let out a long sigh and gently covered him with a thin blanket.
After all, he was old and couldn't withstand the river wind or the cold!
Ruxue, you should rest too."
"Grandfather, Qianxue just said…"
After hesitating for a while, Han Ruxue finally told him about the incident. Old Master Han fell silent.
"Grandpa, you say... Could it be him?" Han Ruxue's gaze darkened.
In fact, there was one more thing that she did not say-it was as if there was always a gaze watching her!
She couldn't tell the specifics. It was a woman's intuition.
For some reason, every time she thought of that gaze, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife!
"Perhaps Qianxue was frightened and heard wrongly? Or maybe it was just a coincidence. Don't think too much! Wait for the bones to come back, if…If it really is that brat…"
Old Master Han's pupils constricted as he said in a deep voice,"Let's bury him in the Li clan's ancestral grave…"
His old eyes were also filled with tears.
Actually, Han Song was not sure either. If that person was really Li Qiu, how should he face it?
"I heard that Duke Cheng still has a daughter who is still alive. She is now the wife of Duke Yi. When we reach Chang 'an, let's pay a visit…"
he said slowly.
On the other side, Chai Shao, Zhang Gongjin, and the other Great Generals had arrived on the north bank and were charging at the headless Turkic army of more than one hundred thousand.
With the death of the Jie Li Khan, the Turkic tribes were unable to form a united force and were fighting for themselves. Some of them had even fled.
No one was stupid!
If he ran to the Tang army at this time, the one who would be unlucky would be his own tribe. He might as well run away first!
If there was one, there would be two!
Originally, some of the Ashina family members wanted to stand up and stabilize their position, but it was useless. They could only follow the Khan's guards and retreat.
The Turkic army of more than one hundred thousand fled in panic as the Great Tang soldiers pursued!
The sun was setting in the west. The halberd that was stabbed into the ground, a scattered bow, and an ancient silver mask…
It was so eye-catching!
The bloodstains on it could be seen from afar!
Second Emperor Li and his entourage also arrived at the north bank of the Wei River.
Who could remain indifferent when they saw this scene?
"Send these back to the ancestral temple for worship! At the same time, he announced to the world that he would build a temple for the Great General of the Country! If we can't find his corpse, then we'll erect one on the spot…"
"A cenotaph!"
Second Emperor Li's expression was solemn as he made arrangements.
Who objected?
With this battle, the situation of the Great Tang had been instantly reversed. How could he not bear the title of Great Protector General?
Old Demoness Cheng and Duan Zhixuan led the black-armored soldiers to chase after them, hoping to see if they could bring back anything, but they didn't have much hope.
Tens of thousands of Turkic tiger soldiers were enough to tear anything to shreds!
There were more than ten corpses in silver armor and white robes lying on the ground. Each of them was covered in blood and flesh. They had died in a bloody battle, causing one's heart to ache.
No one wanted to take off the masks these people were wearing and see their true faces!
This was blasphemy!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, this white mask was their last shred of dignity!
"Pack up properly and bury them in the tomb.”
Second Emperor Li ordered and turned to leave. His figure was desolate.
...
Half a month later, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
The smell of blood on the bank of Weishui River was still lingering!
In a suburb three or four miles away from Chang 'an, three people knocked on the door of a farmer's house."
"Fellow villager, open the door!"
"Who is it?"
An old man got up with sleepy eyes and opened the door. He saw three people wearing linen clothes standing in the courtyard.
The young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes smiled and said,
"My name is Li Qiu…"
