Chapter 73 Sending the old grandson

That winter solstice, Emperor Wei was not the Emperor of Wei, but the prince of Chen, the predecessor of Wei. At that time, the army of Wu often crossed the Liaoqi hunting ground to the border of the western border of Chen to make trouble.

Emperor Wei, who was not the Emperor of Wei, and Liu Zhanguo, who was not the general, led his army to the border line of the Liaoqi hunting ground in the western Xinjiang. Their mission was to suppress the Wu army back. The amount of miles it could be suppressed depends on their ability.

It took half a month to march. When they arrived in the Western Frontier, they started fighting with the Wu border army without saying a word. The two sides fought fiercely and returned. The war lasted for more than three months, and finally ended with the defeat of the Wu border army. Moreover, the Wu border army suppressed by Liu Zhanguo and others retreated for a full three hundred miles!

When Emperor Wei and Liu Zhanguo led the army back, it was Guyu. They passed by a melon field. They looked at each other and saw a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

They immediately ordered the army to rest, and then the two of them secretly touched the melon field and drove several melons to eat. What was embarrassing was that they were discovered by an old man who chased him all the way.

One of the princes of the dynasty and the other was already a fifth-rank general at that time. He was chased by a dog and dared not turn around. It would probably make people laugh when they said it out.

The old man and the dog chased each other wildly, and finally rushed out of the melon field. When the old man saw the rows of soldiers standing on the dirt road, he was instantly frightened and fell to the ground. The dog shivered and hid behind the old man.

"Old man, we marched all the way, and the taste was pale and tasteless. I really couldn't help it. I'm sorry, just think it was we bought it." Emperor Wei, who was still the prince, gave a wallet to the old man. It was not easy for an old farmer like them to grow some fruits and vegetables.

"No, no, no, I can't accept this money. You are the soldiers who drove away the Wu barbarians, right?" The old farmer shook his hands repeatedly, refusing to take over the money. The Wu barbarian he mentioned was the border army of the Wu Kingdom.

After the old farmer reacted, he stood up from the ground and was not afraid at all. What are the soldiers of our own country afraid of?

"Old man, please keep it." Emperor Wei, who was still the crown prince, insisted on letting the old farmer's subordinates.

"Two generals, then you are waiting here." The old farmer finally took the purse, but did not let the two go.

"You must wait for me, don't leave!" The old farmer still gave many instructions before leaving.

Emperor Wei and Liu Zhanguo looked at each other and saw doubts from each other's eyes. They didn't know which old farmer was singing.

Soon, the old farmer's figure with a sense of vicissitudes appeared in the sight of the two people. The old farmer pulled a cart behind him, which was filled with melons, probably hundreds of kilograms. Behind the cart, the native dog was on the cart and kicked the ground hard, and he helped the owner push the cart very sensible.

Emperor Wei and Liu Zhanguo hurried forward to help, helping the old man pull the cart with melons onto the road.

"Old man, are you?" Emperor Wei asked with confusion.

"It's all hard for you to defend your country. Because of you, I can plant melons here with peace of mind. Don't worry about those Wu Manzi coming to destroy my melon fields."

"Every time you go to the battlefield, we ordinary people are actually worried, but we don't say it, afraid that you will have concerns. Old man, I don't understand the big truth, but in war, we must have to move forward with aura. How can we have concerns?"

"So, we ordinary people, keep that worry in our hearts! The cry we celebrated when we returned from a great victory is to vent our worry in our hearts."

"I'm giving this melon to you, but it's my heart. If I don't want to support my family, it's okay for the soldiers to eat the melons in this melon field!"

"Okay, there are still a few pieces of land that haven't been fed over there. Old man, I won't disturb you from rushing on the road. If you are greedy one day, come to me to steal the melons again. Old man, I'll steal it for you for free, and I guarantee that I won't let the dog chase you."

The old farmer laughed and said, turning around and leaving with the little local dog. When he walked to the center of the field, he was already in tears: Son, if you are still here, you are also part of them, right? Today, my father seemed to see your shadow from them. Are you okay below?

In the simple little room, there was a set of armor, a rusty broken knife, and a tablet on the wooden cabinet. The tablet was simply written: Sun Yongchang died in the 342nd year of the Chen Guoli period, at the age of 19.

...

"Your Majesty, steal a melon?" Xuanyuan Hongyu thought he had heard it wrong, and repeated it in disbelief.

"Yes, steal a melon, go quickly. If a dog chases you, report my name, so it works!" Emperor Wei said seriously.

"..." Xuanyuan Hongyu's mouth twitched, thinking, Your Majesty, are you making fun of me?

"Go quickly, I'll give you a stick of incense, I'll eat the fragrant and sweet melon."

Emperor Wei glared at him, Xuanyuan Hongyu smiled bitterly, looked at the melon field in the distance, said to Xuanyuan Jingcheng to protect His Majesty, then jumped out of the carriage and ran wildly, with the target of the melon field.

"Old man, I don't know if you are still in the world. Time is really ruthless." Emperor Wei's eyes seemed to have alternating years. He touched his temples and pinched off a piece of white hair. It has been so many years in a flash. Is it a cycle of reincarnation now?

Soon, Xuanyuan Hongyu really brought a melon back, walked to the frame and knelt on one knee, holding the melon in both hands.

"Your Majesty, your melon." Xuanyuan Hongyu's voice was filled with these resentments.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Wei heard something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, your name is not easy to use. I was chased by seven or eight big dogs for several miles." Xuanyuan Hongyu said aggrievedly.

Emperor Wei couldn't hold back his head and laughed, "Are you really being chased by a dog?"

"No, it's a few particularly fierce dogs, thanks to an old woman coming out to stop those big dogs." Xuanyuan Hongyu said.

"Oh? Old woman?"

"Yes, the old woman asked Your Majesty, you go to her place to sit, saying that the old man in her family wanted to see Your Majesty."

Emperor Wei's expression froze for a second, and then with a hint of undetectable joy, the old man is still there!

"Let's go and have a look." Emperor Wei said as he got up and got out of the car.

"Your Majesty, it just rained a few days ago, and the fields were too muddy..." Xuanyuan Hongyu was interrupted by Emperor Wei before he could finish speaking.

"I have also been on the battlefield, and I am afraid of these mud?" Emperor Wei waved his hand and signaled Xuanyuan Hongyu and Xuanyuan Jingcheng to follow him.

Xuanyuan Hongyu and Xuanyuan Jingcheng looked at each other, not understanding what happened to Emperor Wei, but they still followed him quickly.

When Emperor Wei came to the melon field, he saw an old woman in his sixties and eight big dogs there, probably waiting for him.

So, Emperor Wei accelerated his pace and walked over.

"The grass-roots kowtow to Your Majesty." The old woman was about to kneel down and salute. Emperor Wei hurriedly rushed forward with three steps and held the old woman in one hand.

"The old man is exempted from gifts, can he be in the house?" asked Emperor Wei.

After Emperor Wei ascended the throne, he invited someone to visit Lao Suntou. Of course, he also knew that Lao Suntou called Lao Suntou.

"Here, Lao Sun is waiting inside. He is inconvenient and cannot come out to greet him. He also has to trouble His Majesty to come in to see him. I hope His Majesty forgives his crime." The old woman lowered her head and said.

"Xuanyuan Hongyu, Xuanyuan Jingcheng, help the old man come in and rest." Emperor Wei walked to the door and waved to the two of them.

Xuanyuan Hongyu and Xuanyuan Jingcheng hurried forward to support the old woman and carefully helped her into the house.

"Huh." When Emperor Wei entered the door, he first saw an old and dissatisfied dog. He recognized it at a glance. It was the little native dog that had chased him and Liu Zhanguo at that time.

But I didn't expect that more than twenty years have passed and it has not died yet. Among creatures like dogs, it can be regarded as longevity.

When the dog saw someone coming in, he just moved his head slightly, probably because he had no strength to make any moves.

"We have seen you. Today I'll see your master." Emperor Wei actually took the initiative to say hello to a dog. If this spreads, it might be surprising.

Emperor Wei's eyes moved upwards, and then he saw the dry old man lying on the bed. If his thin head was not exposed outside the quilt, Emperor Wei might have thought that there was no one under the quilt.

"Old Sun, I'm here to see you." Emperor Wei went to the edge of the bed and whispered to the old man.

The old man moved his neck and turned his head to the Emperor of Wei, but his eyes were closed and he did not open.

"You are here. It's been more than 20 years. I have been looking forward to you coming again. Today, I finally waited for it." Old Sun looked weak in speaking, but he could still hear the excitement.

"For more than 20 years, no one has come to steal melons. Today, the old woman told me that someone had stole melons. I knew that maybe you are here. Are you here to send me a ride?" Lao Sun asked.

"Old Sun, you..." Emperor Wei winked, and Xuanyuan Hongyu stepped forward to take the pulse for Old Sun.

As the general of the Imperial Guard, Xuanyuan Hongyu also knew some medical skills. After taking the pulse for the old man, Xuanyuan Hongyu sighed and shook his head at the Emperor of Wei. The old man had no time left.

"I know my own life. I can't escape my life." Lao Sun seemed to see very openly.

"I didn't know you were His Majesty back then. When I knew you were His Majesty, I was shocked, old man." Old Sun said with a hint of emotion.

After the Emperor of Wei ascended the throne, he invited people to visit Lao Sun. Lao Sun learned about the identity of Emperor Wei and fell to the ground again. Emperor Wei also intended to invite him to live in Chang'an, but Lao Sun refused.

Since then, every time Lao Sun was drinking and bragging with others, he was able to rank first! After all, how many people could have such honor to invite the emperor of the dynasty to eat melons?

"Your Majesty, don't sigh. I'm eighty-two. What else can I be so unfaithful? I've been indifferent to life and death, but I'm leaving in the future. Please send someone to take care of me, the old woman."

"She is still young and should be able to live in her teens. She has to live alone in the past ten years. When I think of this, I can't rest assured that the old man. I have invited His Majesty to eat melons, so I dared to ask His Majesty to help this, and ask His Majesty to help."

"I am busy, I have no choice but to do so." Emperor Wei promised loudly and nodded vigorously.

A curve appeared on the corner of Lao Sun's mouth, as if something had happened.

"Old Sun, do you know that when you took the cart of Xianggua, the entire army was allocated 300,000 soldiers?" said Emperor Wei.

"Everything was distributed? Your Majesty, don't lie to me. My car of melons is only a few hundred kilograms, which is not enough for 300,000 people to eat." Old Sun head had a tone of disbelief.

"More than 500 melons, six hundred people get one. Some of them are pounded into jam and dipped into a bite of it with their fingers. Some are squeezed into juice and poured into water. Each person takes a bowl and drink it. Some are cut into six hundred portions. Each person gets half a piece of fingernail, which is as small as a piece of skin. They eat it without even letting go of the skin. Some..."

Emperor Wei told Lao Sun that several physical ways to eat were given to Lao Sun's head. Two more crystal tears were added to Lao Sun's face, which was as dry as the bark of an old tree.

"The soldiers said, sweet, the sweetness that is so sweet that it can't be forgotten in my heart." Emperor Wei took a deep breath to calm down.

"The soldiers also said that it is a great honor for the people to trust us and to be able to hand over the country to us to guard. If you die in the battlefield and have a next life, you will be reincarnated as a soldier. By the way, come here to ask for something for melon."

"The soldiers also heard that your son died on the battlefield. They are willing to recognize you as your adoptive father and all of them are for you."

"I laughed and said, then you, Old Sun, is the most awesome father in the world. Whoever provoked you, can you jump out of the army of 300,000? Can you point to the army of 300,000 and say angrily, look, these are all my precious sons, try to provoke me again? You can't kill you!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Old Sun's weak voice rang out.

"I'm here, Lao Sun Head." Emperor Wei held Lao Sun Head's hand.

Feeling the warmth of Emperor Wei’s palm, Lao Sun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, with a sunset smile on his face, and then said, “I have to leave, Your Majesty, I should go underground to see my son. The father and son can finally be reunited. Your Majesty, thank you.”

"My Great Wei will last forever!"

Lao Sun's hand slid from the palm of Emperor Wei's hand. Emperor Wei stood up and took a deep breath, bent down slightly at Lao Sun's head on the bed, "Emperor Chen Fengxian of the Great Wei Dynasty, give Lao Sun's head!"

"The Great Wei Imperial Army General Xuanyuan Jingcheng, I'll give Lao Sun!"

"The commander of the Qilin Guard of the Great Wei Dynasty, Xuanyuan Hongyu, give Lao Sun Head!"

"Da Wei, Liu Feilong, I'll give Lao Sun!"

Xuanyuan Jingcheng turned around suddenly, and Xuanyuan Hongyu also turned around suddenly.

Liu Feilong!
