Chapter 420 The Heroes Have Gone
As many of the soldiers brought by Ye Ru reunited with their families, most of these tough men shed tears once again. Among these fallen soldiers of the Yanhuang Kingdom were their fathers, people they admired, and their brothers.
They both thought they would never see each other again, but unexpectedly, they were able to meet again here.
This was something they could never have imagined.
"Could you please deliver a letter home for me, to tell them that I have come back, but I can no longer go home?"
A soldier from the Hidden Dragon Army tremblingly handed Ye Ru a letter from home. The letter was old and seemed to have been written before his death.
"Leave it to me. I'll tell them when we get back that you're all great heroes."
Ye Ru's eyes also welled up with tears. He had fought in a foreign land, but not even his body had returned.
"And mine."
"And mine!"
After the first, the second, the third, the fourth... hundreds of people lined up to hand over their letters to Ye Ru.
Now, they are no longer tough men; they have feelings. They are now just men, fathers of children, and husbands of wives.
General Xingjian did not stop them, but looked at Ye Ru and his subordinates in the distance with a look of satisfaction. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said to Zhang Dong:
"I wonder if my wife and children are alright?"
"Ever since we heard the news of the deaths of your Qianlong Army, the families of all Qianlong Army soldiers have been known as the families of martyrs. Every household is still receiving rations and pay, so don't worry."
Zhang Dong pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
Who is currently stationed in the North? Has the border war resumed?
"It is Lord Chen Tianjian. Since Lord Chen was stationed at the border, the entire demon race has not dared to break through this pass. Please rest assured, General."
“That’s great. I never thought that the kid Chen who used to follow me around could stand on his own now. Give him this and tell him that it was given to him by me, Shen Xingjian.”
After saying this, Shen Xingjian handed a letter to Zhang Dong and then said:
"This is a record of some military strategies and techniques that I wrote down when I was on my way to war. You should have him study it diligently and serve the country."
"it is good."
Zhang Dong took the scroll with both hands and placed it into his storage bracelet.
"That kid has truly mastered my skills."
Shen Xingjian turned his gaze to Ye Ru and waved to him:
"Hey kid, come here, I have something to tell you."
"Very well, generals, please give all the letters to Mr. Zhang Zhi, and I will deliver them to you one by one."
Ye Ru bowed to the crowd, then approached Shen Xingjian:
"I wonder what important matter the General has to discuss?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that you are very insightful and brave. It's not a waste to give you this 'Annotations on the Essential Techniques of Peace', but you must remember that you must never use it to do anything immoral or immoral, understand?"
Shen Xingjian gave a solemn instruction.
"Yes, don't worry, I won't use it unless it's absolutely necessary. This technique will only be used against enemies, not against my own people."
"There's one more thing, and that's about this war. You're going to attend the Scholars' Gathering, right? Be careful then, and if anything happens, leave immediately."
"No, I will not leave until the remains of all the martyrs are returned to the country."
Ye Ru shook his head, a determined look appearing on his face, and said.
"Take a step back to advance. If we disappear again, you can take our remains back with you."
After a moment's thought, Shen Xingjian announced his decision.
"Don't worry, we will definitely bring you back."
Ye Ru nodded.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, some of the Qianlong Army soldiers finally exhausted their energy, and their flesh and blood began to turn into yellow earth little by little. However, in their eyes, there was still a deep sense of reluctance.
This reluctance to part is a longing for life.
"Goodbye, you will be the pillars of our Yanhuang Kingdom. We hope you will work hard. We will be watching over you from heaven."
Shen Xingjian's cultivation level was relatively high, so his flesh and blood were being consumed rather slowly. He looked on with anticipation and then waved to Ye Ru and the others.
"We will certainly live up to your expectations. Let us complete the unfinished work you have left unfinished."
Ye Ru nodded solemnly, while the others also bowed deeply to the soldiers who had fought so hard in the past.
"Don't cry, silly child. Take good care of your mother."
"Yes, we must stay safe and sound. When friends come, we'll have wine and meat; when enemies come, we'll draw our swords and fight them."
Some of the Hidden Dragon Army soldiers watched as the weeping people turned into starlight spots and disappeared into the world.
Goodbye... I have no regrets about being born into the Chinese nation.
Shen Xingjian smiled slightly at Ye Ru, his body rapidly disintegrated, and then disappeared into this world.
As everyone disappeared again, these tough men finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
"A man does not easily shed tears, unless he is deeply saddened."
Ye Ru turned his head, gently stroked a stone, and said in a low voice.
As if remembering something, he said to Zhang Dong, "Get me a sword."
With the sword in hand, Ye Ru casually brandished it. His wings suddenly flapped, propelling him into the air, where he began to dance and sculpt the distant rocks with a dragon-like, phoenix-like motion.
A moment later, a white feather fan appeared in his hand. He then suddenly fanned it, and a gust of wind blew by, sending mountain dust flying. The contents inside were slowly revealed:
"What is the meaning of this severed head today? The Chinese people have endured countless hardships and battles."
"On this journey to the netherworld, we will summon our old comrades, and with ten thousand banners, we will slay Yama, the King of Hell."
After looking at the poem for a moment, Zhang Dong and the others could no longer contain their pride and shouted:
"Going to the netherworld to summon old comrades, with ten thousand banners to slay Yama, what a fine poem! It is stirring and moving. This poem is a perfect match for General Xingjian."
"Let's cremate the remains of our martyrs according to their categories, and then take them back with us."
Ye Ru addressed the crowd, and they nodded and began to get busy.
Because the remains needed to be separated and placed into boxes, the process was somewhat slow. It wasn't until the early hours of the next day that all the bodies were finally reduced to ashes.
Above the flames, Ye Ru burned some paper money, the cool morning air refreshing him.
"Farewell, our fallen heroes."
Everyone bowed deeply once more, then looked at Ye Ru, and Zhang Dong said:
"What should be done with these Jin soldiers?"
These people staying here is also a problem. If we wait for Ji Jun and his team to come and investigate, it will inevitably cause a significant impact.
"The only option is to burn them."
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and the Burning Cauldron appeared. Countless flames then spread out, and as the flames swept across the land, they reflected a dazzling firelight throughout the world. The Jin army was directly engulfed by the flames.
