"Boss, I know what you want. It's nothing more than human ethics and etiquette!" Zhu Gaoxu ate a sesame seed cake with meat in two mouthfuls, then continued to ride forward and said, "Those false gifts should be divided into time and occasion!"
"Shuai Lan once said when he was still alive, why do soldiers need to be wrapped in horse leather when they die in battles? How many soldiers of our Ming Dynasty died in state affairs, and how many of them could return to their hometowns to return to their roots? Take our family as an example, weren't they all those who died in battle with my father in the past?
Burn it on fire and take the ashes back?"
"There are still many people who have not been burned. They just dig a hole and bury them. These are still good people. There are many people who have bad luck and die in the wilderness!"
"Shuai Lan said, our soldiers are destined to do this. If you die, you will die. Why do you want to be a soldier if you worry about what happens after you? Isn't it good to hold your child at home?"
"When fallen leaves return to their roots, they return with their souls, not with rotten flesh and insects!"
"You..." Zhu Gaochi was speechless, "Don't you know the stakes involved?"
"I know, if something happens, I will take it upon myself!" Zhu Gaoxu said loudly, "I tell everyone the same thing, and they do whatever they want!" He said with a sneer, "Humph, Lan Shuai and I are also in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
I am not more reluctant to let him die than others because of the friendship we fought for. Who the hell wants to make irresponsible remarks to me? First consider what kind of friendship you have with Lan Shuai. Hum, there really is such a hypocrite, let’s see if I don’t spit on his face!
"
Zhu Gaochi said angrily, "It doesn't matter what others do, you let me..." He pointed down the top of his head, "What do you want the higher-ups to think and think? Lan Yu has been crowned the county king and asked for a state funeral."
"Hypocrisy!" Zhu Gaoxu said disdainfully, "Everyone is dead, who do you show it to?" He said, "So what if he blames me? At worst, I will no longer be the prince of the county, or at worst, I will be expelled from the old Zhu family.
Let me be the head soldier! Are you afraid of him? Humph!"
"You...just do it! Do you think this is the only thing? Let me ask you, did you kill prisoners and massacre the city in Burma? Did you join forces with the soldiers to disobey orders?"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu sneered.
"I'm talking to you, what do you mean by sneering?" As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt that the two brothers were taking the wrong path, "Hey, where are we going? Isn't it home?"
"Why are we in a hurry to go home? Let's send Lan Shuai home first," Zhu Gaoxu said in a low voice.
~~
After several days of renovation, the Baoguo Palace has restored some of its former glory.
But the ground is bare and filled with sadness.
The soldiers who reported the news had come to tell the news. The brothers Bao Guo Gong Lan Chun and Zheng Guo Gong had brought their sons and nephews to greet them at the gate with choked sobs.
Over the past few days, I have long dried up my tears. At this moment, I feel sad and sad, but there are no tears anymore.
But the feeling of sadness is getting heavier and heavier, which is exactly what is called the silence of great sadness.
In an instant, everyone raised their eyes and looked at the end of the long street.
Several war horses were parked there, and a tall young man jumped off the horse, holding a box wrapped in white cloth, and slowly stepped forward.
"My ministers, please see the Crown Prince, see the Prince of Gaoyang..."
Zhu Gaoxu held the box and turned sideways, not receiving the other party's courtesy. "Today there is only the junior Zhu Gaoxu who escorted Lan Shuai home. There is no Gaoyang County Prince." He said, holding out the box, "Lan Shuai is a person who cherishes his face. He did not care about his face during his lifetime.
I wish to linger on the sick bed, and I will not wish to be covered with maggots after death. Therefore, for the sake of his dignity as an old man, he was cremated into ashes and put in a box!"
Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said, "The journey is long, so this is also a temporary measure..."
He was really afraid that the Lan family and the Zheng family would go berserk on the spot...
Unexpectedly, Lan Chun took it solemnly, his eyes full of gratitude, "My father said before his death that he and Prince Gaoyang had a close friendship since many years!" As he spoke, he looked at the box in his hand and choked up, "
This is the best way to deal with it. My father loves face the most. He has a spirit in heaven and sees his own body... That is the real unfilial piety!"
As he said that, he looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said, "My father left..."
"The old commander didn't suffer, he left very simply." Zhu Gaoxu said softly, "I had a great time passing through the passes and killing the generals, and finally died in my arms." As he said, he also smiled with red eyes, "I lived up to my name as a hero, before I died in battle.
Seizing the battle flag of the thief chieftain, beheading the thief chieftain, it is heroic and heroic."
As he said that, he endured the pain in his nose and turned back and waved his hand.
One guard was holding another white porcelain vase, and the other guard was holding a broken armor.
The armor was covered with brown blood scabs, which were solidified and dried blood.
"In the porcelain vase are Rouge's ashes!" Zhu Gaoxu whispered, "Shuai Lan had instructions before his death that he should be buried with Rouge after his death!"
"Thank you... Your Highness!" Lan Chun was choked with sobs and could not speak. The tears that had dried up from crying overflowed again and kept falling on the armor used in front of Lan Yu.
Upon seeing this, Chang Sheng, Duke of Zheng, endured the grief in his heart and said to Zhu Gaoxu, "Your Highness, there are preparations inside..."
"Don't bother!" Zhu Gaoxu said, "We'll eat later. You can reunite as a family first and say goodbye!" After saying that, he turned around and walked back, saying back, "On the day when the mourning family returns to their hometown, I will go with you and give the handsome man a ride!
"
After saying that, he got on his horse.
And behind him, a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came.
"Dad, you're home!"
"Dad, my son is unfilial!"
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head slowly, exhaled slowly, turned to look at the soldiers beside him, "Can you bear this?"
The soldier's eyes were already red, and he said, "Second Master, can you bear it?"
"I can't stand it!" Zhu Gaoxu said in a dull voice, "If one day I die in battle, I can just find a place to spread the bones and scraps, so as not to die and have to go through these life-and-death separations, which is so uncomfortable!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" With the support of the guards, Zhu Gaochi got on his horse with difficulty and said angrily, "Second brother, I found out why are you different from normal people now?"
"I make the decision on my own!" Zhu Gaoxu smiled, "Boss, I'm hungry, let's go find a place to eat!"
"walk home!"
"Don't go home!" Zhu Gaoxu said stubbornly.
"Where are you going if you don't go home?" Zhu Gaochi was about to get angry again, "There are many people in the capital who are confused..."
"I want to fuck a woman!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly spoke, turned around and said to the guards around him, "Where are you?"
"Think!" everyone shouted.
"Let's go! My boss is treating us!" Zhu Gaoxu laughed.
"I'll treat you to whatever you want... Hey, don't mess around!" Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to follow.
~~
Then, a strange scene appeared on the long street. A group of soldiers who looked like frontier soldiers, followed by a fat man, plunged into the Red Sleeve Street.
At the entrance of a medium-sized courtyard with a small curtain, the soldiers dismounted.
The old madam was so frightened that the powder on her face kept falling, and her legs shook like a sieve when she walked, "Master Jun!!!!"
"Don't be afraid!" Zhu Gaoxu entered the lobby with a riding crop and said with a smile, "We will give you money!" As he said that, he looked around and said, "No, it was the fat guy behind who gave us money!"
"Second brother, let me tell you, this is a big deal..."
Zhu Gaochi was still mumbling, but unexpectedly, he was grabbed by Zhu Gaoxu's big hand and stretched into his arms.
"Hey, dick, hey, you are being fucked by my diaphragm..."
A heavy money bag was thrown on the table with a clang, and then Zhu Gaoxu picked it up with his backhand, making a clatter of golden light.
"Gold?" The old bustard instantly forgot his nervousness and fear.
"Not enough?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled, turned around and grabbed Zhu Gaochi's hand, and took off the sapphire hammer on his finger, which was still on the table. "Is it enough?"
"Enough! Enough!" The old bustard nodded repeatedly.
But the next second, she regretted it.
I saw Zhu Gaoxu's eyes turned ferocious in an instant, and he drew out his long knife and said, "Brothers, let's have fun today. I'll kick out the irrelevant ones. They're all ours!"
"Thank you Qiansui!" The soldiers were like wolves and tigers, and screams and screams immediately sounded in the yard.
"Crazy!" Zhu Gaochi said in shock.
Zhu Gaoxu is not crazy, he needs to vent.
He carried the knife and slowly went upstairs, staring at a pair of frightened eyes behind a window.
There was a click, the window shattered, and a medium-colored woman in her twenties was grabbed out by Zhu Gaoxu's big hand.
"Master, master..." The woman burst into tears.
"What's your name?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.
"Slave...Rouge..."
"Huh?" Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and then laughed, laughing so hard that tears came out.
Then, he directly put the woman on his shoulders and said, "It's up to you to fuck me, I want to rouge you too!"
