Chapter 39: Ye Wei's Statue

  Ye Xuan walked in and immediately felt a shock, a heartfelt shock! Inside the commander's tent, it was completely a strictly disciplined wartime command center!

  On both sides, eight chairs were placed, with brightly polished swords hanging behind them. In front of them was a desk; on it, an ivory bucket, inside which ten or so military orders were neatly arranged.

  On the table lay open a merit book, on the other side, a long sword with cold light flashing silently placed there...

  On the seat in the middle, there was a person wearing iron armor, his body slightly tilted to one side, sitting there, his right hand placed on the table, his index finger lightly curled up, as if making a knocking motion on the tabletop. His left hand was slightly raised, with a half-clenched fist placed in front of his chest. His face was majestic and powerful, his eyes were not angry but authoritative, and between his eyebrows there was a faint frown, as if he was thinking about something. He sat quietly, deep in thought, with a hint of suppressed anxiety...

  Everything is exactly the same as a real person. But take a closer look, and the person in the middle is actually a white jade carving, vividly lifelike, with every detail visible. Even the finest wrinkles on his clothes are carved with great precision, and even the texture of the skin on his hands and face is incredibly realistic!

  It can be seen that the person who carved this jade statue at that time spent a lot of thought and effort.

  This statue looks like it has a soul...

  "What a true majesty......" Sun Yu looked at the statue of Jun Wu with an unconscious admiring gaze.

  Ye Xuan reverently lit three sticks of incense, silently reciting: "Father, after ten years of separation, today your son has brought his brothers to visit you. I am truly unfilial, and hope that you can rest easy in the underworld. Your great injustice, I will definitely avenge!

  No matter whether it's Zhongjin Kingdom or Xining Empire, anyone who harms you must pay the most terrible price!

  I will definitely revive the heroic spirit of the Ye family army... This is the oath of your son, Jun Mo Xie! Father, bear witness! Heaven and earth, also bear witness!"

  A solemn oath, loud and clear!

  At this moment, Ye Xuan's heart was exceptionally heavy, and he slowly bowed his head. Although he had been arrogant and unruly in both his past and present lives, towards the iron-blooded war general Ye Wei, he felt a deep respect from the bottom of his heart; not only did he deeply understand him through countless legends, but also because of the fusion of their souls, at this moment, Ye Xuan clearly felt that Ye Wei was his father!

  Since he came into this world, his knees had never bent, but at this moment, they did so willingly!

  Even if he is not his father, such a hero is still worthy of his sincere respect!

  Moreover, there is always an inseparable blood relationship in this! Although one's soul comes from another world, this body is indeed the true flesh and blood of Jun Wu Xie!

  People have reincarnation, and they are just lucky to be reborn with memories. If not, would their hearts still resist? That's an unthinkable thing!

  At the moment when Ye Xuan and his three brothers knelt down, a strong wind suddenly blew on the heroic tomb, countless clouds rushed in the sky, and the accumulated snow on the ground was rolled up with a swoosh, spreading in mid-air, covering the sky, from heaven to earth, it was all a blur!

  All the big flags, simultaneously fluttering open, and what's even stranger is that originally it was a raging north wind, but at this moment it suddenly changed to an eerie east wind. The direction of the flapping flags was facing west!

  But there is the direction of Du Cheng!

  "Great General!" Everyone outside suddenly knelt down again, their eyes brimming with tears. They shouted wildly towards the sky, as if they wanted to tear their throats apart: "The Great General's spirit has returned! His soul has come back! The Great General's spirit has returned! His soul has come back!" One by one, they knocked their heads on the ground, and tears gushed out like a fountain...

  The sky is filled with the sound of wind, a low, mournful moan, as if in response to the crowd...

  After a long time, Ye Xuan and his three brothers walked out slowly, facing each other. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two of them, especially their knees and foreheads; then everyone couldn't help but smile with relief...

  Ye Xuan's knee had a conspicuous stain, and his forehead also had a faint scent of incense ash. Sun Yu and Chen Fei were the same. This was the clever trick of these soldiers. They feared that someone would pretend to worship but not kowtow, thus disrespecting their commander in their hearts, so they sprinkled a faint layer of incense ash on the ground...

  Then this group of rough yet respectable and lovely men gathered around warmly...

  ……

  Ye Xuan stayed at the Hero's Tomb for a day and night, until the third day at dawn, before he could continue on his journey. The enthusiasm of this group of Imperial Guards was enough to make even someone as cold-hearted as Jun Mo Xie feel warm and fuzzy inside...

  Ye Xuan could truly feel that these people were genuinely good to him, treating him as if he was their most precious child... They seemed to want to give him their hearts and livers, so to speak... This kind of thing couldn't be faked, it came from the heart, how could they pretend?

  Three brothers walked slowly down the mountain road, behind them, countless people followed, and then saw them off, each person's face had tears, but also a relieved smile...

  Until they went far away, the loud shouts still came from behind: "General... come back often! Here is also your home... we are all waiting for you to come again. Bring your wife and son... Commander will miss you too..."

  At this time, Ye Xuan thought of his conversation with General Wang and others last night...

  "Originally a heroic tomb, it was a place that military strategists would contend for... but since the great general set up camp here, no matter which country's generals came, they would all detour and avoid this place. Even if they occasionally arrived, it was only to pay their respects, and no one dared to be even slightly disrespectful..."

  "We will never leave this place again, we must continue to guard the general... If we leave, the general will be lonely... The general is used to these days of thousands of troops and horses, once it becomes deserted, we are afraid he cannot bear it..."

  "Master... from now on, the Ye family will be relying entirely on you... You absolutely cannot bring shame to Generalissimo, as a heroic father has a good son, and you must not tarnish Generalissimo's reputation..."

  Ye Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold as he thought back to their last conversation the night before.

  "Uncle Wang, how did my father really die?"

  "Ah, General Dai was murdered!"

  ………

  Having heard this, Ye Xuan was shocked at that time. It turned out that his father's death wasn't as simple as being defeated in battle. There must be some conspiracy behind his father's death.

  ……

  Ye Xuan walked and walked, unknowingly going far away without saying a word. It was good for him to have time to adjust his mood...

  After a long time, Ye Xuan quietly turned his head and looked back. At this moment, he was already very far away from the Hero's Mausoleum. Standing at the edge of the cliff, looking at the scenery below the mountain, Ye Xuan sighed: "What a pity! What a pity!"
