In the evening, in the Dai Public House.
Li Mo had already heard that the battlefield at Weishui River had been cleared.
He brought the 18 surviving white horse followers, wine, and offerings, and prepared to go to the battlefield.
He wanted to bring the dead White Horse back home.
He had even thought of the location of the offering.
In Champion Marquis Manor.
As a result, as soon as he left Chang 'an City, he met refugees from Youzhou.
These refugees were all dressed in hemp and gathered outside the gate.
Just as he was about to send a representative to bid farewell to Li Mo, he happened to meet Li Mo who had just left the city.
"Greetings, Marquis Champion!"
The refugees excitedly greeted each other. Their eyes reflected the warm light of the setting sun.
"What are you doing here?" Li Mo was confused.
"Marquis Champion, we are responsible for sending our good son back to Youzhou!”
An old man dressed like a gentleman, also wearing a white sackcloth, bowed to Li Mo.
Only then did Li Mo notice that more than two hundred able-bodied men were excitedly holding the urn.
These were the ashes of the white horse.
"They are my brothers, so I can worship them. I'll have to trouble you all.”
Li Mo frowned.
"Lord Marquis, they are also disciples of Youzhou. Lord Marquis, please allow us to welcome them home!”
The old gentry pleaded,"We will set up a shrine in the city to offer sacrifices. We will definitely not mistreat our children. Lord Marquis, please agree!"”
The refugees also burst out with a petition,""Lord Marquis, please agree!"
Li Mo fell silent.
Strictly speaking, these white horse followers were indeed disciples of Youzhou.
However, they were reborn once and then died in battle again.
He sighed. Wasn't he the same?
He was inexplicably reborn in the Tang Dynasty, and then, in order to save Chang 'an, he fought to the death.
Compared to his fallen brothers, he was just a little luckier and did not die in battle.
"My lord, loyalty is buried everywhere on Green Mountain.”
A white horse servant said in a low voice.
Li Mo turned around and saw the white horses behind him nodding in agreement.
He jumped off his warhorse and walked to the refugees holding the urn with a solemn expression.
The commanding general's aura exploded.
It was as if what was in front of him was not an urn, but a living white horse.
And he seemed to be inspecting the military appearance of his soldiers.
The refugees holding the urn could not help but straighten their chests.
It was as if they were holding the souls of the soldiers in their hands and accepting the inspection of their general.
Li Mo slowly walked past one urn after another.
He even reached out and touched the urns one by one.
His gaze and demeanor were like patting a soldier's shoulder.
The rest of the refugees and the soldiers guarding the city watched this scene silently.
He was afraid that the slightest sound would disturb the last reunion of the White Horse.
After today, they would meet again in the next life!
On the city gate tower not far away, Li Jing stood beside a person and stared down nervously.
She was afraid that Li Mo would say something wrong.
Beside Li Jing was Li Shimin, who was visiting in civilian clothes.
Li Shi Min was also looking at Li Mo, who was not far away. He did not say a word.
Li Mo finally arrived in front of the 282nd urn.
As if completing some kind of ritual, he reached out and touched the urn.
Then, he returned to the crowd.
The 18 white horse followers also stood behind him.
The servant brought over nineteen bowls filled with wine and handed them to Li Mo and the white horse servant.
"We will not forget the crimes of the Turks. I, Li Mo, promise you…"
"When we charge into the Turkic borders, I, Li Mo, will definitely be the vanguard!”
"The next cup of wine, we will drink together in hell!”
Li Mo spilled the wine in his bowl on the floor and roared,""Be at ease!"
Clang!
The wine bowl shattered.
"Be at ease!"
The white horse servant behind him also shouted loudly and smashed the wine bowl.
"Lord Marquis is indeed loyal to the country!"
"You're indeed an outstanding disciple of Youzhou Province.”
The refugees swept away the haze of their families being destroyed and became excited.
Li Mo bowed to the mourning crowd and said,""Please send my brothers back to Youzhou Province.”
" Great Tang's victory!!"
" Champion Marquis, Wan Sheng!"
Instantly, the blood-boiling slogan resounded through the entire city gate.
Even the soldiers guarding the gate joined in the shouting.
A majestic energy spread in everyone's chest.
Li Shi Min, who was on the city gate, sighed.
"How much longer does our Great Tang have to prepare before we can kill the Turks?" he asked Li Jing.”
Li Jing thought for a moment and replied,"Your Majesty, at least three years."”
Li Shi Min was stunned for a moment before shaking his head,""Three years, my people still have to wait in pain for three years? It's too long…"
Li Jing cupped his hands and said," Your Majesty, war is a matter of national importance. It is a matter of life and death. It is a matter of life and death. We must be fully prepared. We must not send troops out of anger."”
"I understand your logic, but I don't like you. You're too calm.”
Li Shi Min pointed at Li Mo and said honestly,"Your son-in-law is different. He does things based on his pure heart.”
"We will make you the commander in charge of the counterattack against the Turks. Remember, the sooner the better."
With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Li Jing was left alone on the city wall, deep in thought.
