When he left Tiandu and went to Yanzhou, Gu Chen brought thirty-five envoys with him. Now, when he comes back, except for Song Yu and a limited number of two or three people who are still alive, the rest of them are all alive.
I have stayed in Yanzhou forever.
Not to mention their whole corpses, even their ashes could not be found. I could only bring some of their clothes with them and prepare to build a tomb for them when they return.
Most of the 200,000 troops who accompanied Duke Liang to Yanzhou stayed in Yanzhou, where there was a lot of waste and a shortage of manpower.
Therefore, among the people who came back, apart from the warriors of the Yaotai sect, there were only a few people from Daxia such as Gu Chen, Chen Yu, and Song Yu.
When the Yaotai sect arrived in China, they separated from Gu Chen and the others. Everyone was silent along the way.
Although Yanzhou won a great victory, only those who have experienced it personally know how difficult it was to win this battle.
On the other side, the people of Tiandu had been waiting at the city gate early, waiting for Gu Chen and his team's triumphant return.
The Jingtiansi troops who were left behind in Tiandu without any missions were fully equipped, and there were even many ministers in the court.
"Look, look, they're back!"
"Why are there only so few people?"
"Silence, don't you know how much Yanzhou suffered in this battle?"
"The Marquis of Wu'an, Gu Chen, is back!"
When Gu Chen and the others approached Tiandu, they discovered that a group of common people, colleagues, and many officials were waiting here.
"Triumph!"
"Congratulations on your triumph!"
When the people of Tiandu saw Gu Chen and the others, their expressions were heavy. They suppressed some of the things they wanted to say in their hearts, and only these few words came out of their mouths.
Gu Chen and the others looked startled at first, as if they did not expect such a large formation to greet them.
Behind them, there were also carriages, which contained the clothes of the soldiers who died in the Yanzhou World War I.
With heavy expressions on their faces, Gu Chen and the others pulled the carriage into Tiandu, a majestic city they had just returned to after more than half a year, and walked slowly through the streets of Tiandu.
Every citizen who came to attend the welcoming ceremony had a solemn look on their face, said nothing, and watched them silently.
The relatives of the dead soldiers were waiting aside. Everyone looked sad and had tears flowing from their eyes.
One by one, Gu Chen and the others handed over the soldiers' belongings to their families.
The battle in Yanzhou was a great victory, but it was also a tragic victory!
This day will be remembered by all the people of Tiandu. Not only Gu Shen and the others are heroes, but everyone who participated in the Yanzhou battle is a hero.
When returning Wang Yan's relics, a pretty woman stood beside Wang Yan's parents. Gu Chen personally handed over Wang Yan's relics.
"Feel sorry."
After a long silence, Gu Chen said.
The woman had a gentle appearance and a delicate face. When she heard this, she shook her head and didn't say much. She just held Wang Yan's relic that Gu Chen gave her and held it tightly in her arms, as if she had found a treasure.
Song Yu stood not far away, with one sleeve empty. When his parents saw this scene, their eyes immediately turned red.
But no matter how you say it, being able to come back alive is already a blessing among misfortunes.
Among the crowd, Gu Chen also saw his second uncle Gu Chengfeng, his aunt Xu Qing'e, his sister Gu Qingyan's family of three, as well as the concierge Uncle Zhang and others, all of them were here.
I thought this would be a happy welcome ceremony, but I didn't expect it to end up like this.
But perhaps, this atmosphere is more suitable for Yanzhou's victory in this war.
Gu Chen did not interact with them too much because he still needed to return to the Jingtiansi headquarters to report on his work. Immediately, Gu Chen and Chen Yu crossed the crowd and came to the Jingtiansi headquarters in the inner city, where they met the deputy commander of Jingtiansi.
Qin Wu.
Qin Wu also had a heavy look on his face and said: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Prince will make compensation for the dead soldiers. Although they cannot be resurrected, their parents and relatives will never be treated badly by Daxia, and the same goes for Wang Yan and the others!"
Hearing Wang Yan's name, Song Yu's eyes couldn't help but turn red, her lips pursed tightly, and she looked sad.
Qin Wu sighed slightly when he saw this. He knew this feeling very well. He said warmly: "I know you are all tired. Go home and rest early and have a good vacation."
After experiencing a battle that was like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, even though a long time had passed, the spirits of Gu Chen and others could not be completely relaxed until they arrived in Tiandu.
Hearing this, the lonely looking envoys all left immediately. Although they won the battle at Yanzhou, it was a heavy blow to them.
In the end, both Song Yu and Chen Yu left, but Gu Chen stayed.
Qin Wudao: "Gu Chen, do you have anything else to do?"
Gu Chen looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Commander, I want to receive meritorious service in exchange for what I need and go into seclusion."
Qin Wu had already received the news that Gu Chen had broken through to the realm of rebirth and became a master of martial arts. Hearing that Gu Chen would go into seclusion again just after returning from Yanzhou, he immediately frowned and said: "It is a good thing to practice martial arts diligently.
, but we must also remember to balance work with rest, and blindly practicing hard is likely to be counterproductive."
"Don't worry, Commander, we'll take care of it," Gu Chen said, with a firm look on his face.
The battle in Yanzhou made him truly realize his own shortcomings. In the final analysis, it was still strength.
After experiencing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and seeing the death of his colleagues and friends in battle, Gu Chen's mentality has changed a lot without realizing it.
The barbarians, the Yuan Dynasty, the demon sect, and the demons and ghosts, as long as these cancers are not eliminated, Daxia, or the entire world, will rarely have peace.
Only by removing these cancers one by one, there may be no more wars in Kyushu for a long time.
"One day, I will destroy all of this and bring an end to the chaotic Kyushu."
After Wang Yan died, Gu Chen said this to himself in his heart.
Seeing that Gu Chen persisted, Qin Wu no longer forced himself, called the officials, and after assigning the due merit to Gu Chen, Gu Chen left.
After being away from home for more than half a year, Gu Chen knew that his second uncle's family must be worried, so Gu Chen first went to Jingtian Division to redeem the merits in the internal Merit Hall, and then returned to the Gu Mansion.
"Dalang, you are back."
"Brother, you are finally back."
Seeing Gu Chen return to the Gu Mansion safe and sound, his second uncle Gu Chengfeng and his family were also very excited.
"Second uncle, aunt, Qingyan, I'm back."
After returning to Gu Mansion, a smile finally appeared on Gu Chen's expressionless face.
"By the way, Dalang, this is the imperial edict." Gu Chengfeng seemed to have remembered something and handed over the imperial edict to Gu Chen as Marquis.
"Marquis Wu'an, am I a Marquis?"
After seeing the imperial edict, Gu Chen was immediately stunned. He didn't expect that the prince actually made him a marquis.
He was only a viscount before, but now he is a marquis, but he has jumped two levels in a row.
Not only that, after Jingtiansi learned that he was a martial arts master in the Reborn Realm, he was promoted from a yellow-level commander at the beginning to an earth-level commander.
From the beginning of Jingtiansi's establishment until now, Gu Chen can be said to be the person who has been promoted the fastest within Jingtiansi.
It is unprecedented, and if nothing else, it will be unprecedented.
Gu Chen only briefly understood the matter of his title of marquis and did not pay too much attention to it.
After all, what's the use of being crowned king without strength?
The troubled times are coming, and only absolute strength can protect everything you want to protect.
For example, the family in front of you.
Gu Chen looked deeply at his second uncle's family, and then told them the news that he was going to retreat.
No one in Gu Chengfeng's family tried to persuade him. They also saw that Gu Chen was in a low mood. After telling Gu Chen not to get ahead greedy for success, Gu Chen left the Gu Mansion, returned to Jingtiansi, and found a secret room.
Since that day, after killing the barbarians, the demon sect, and the innate realm martial arts masters in front of the Snow City, the Jeet Kune Glove fell into silence again. No matter how Gu Chen called, it was still there.
Nothing happened.
Fortunately, that day, Gu Chen thought that his disguise was pretty good, even his figure was a bit blurry, let alone his appearance.
Moreover, even the Qi movement had undergone some drastic changes. When Gu Chen reappeared in front of the Yanzhou Jingtiansi garrison envoy Yan Jing and others, they were unable to recognize him.
It was precisely because of that experience that the remaining power in the gloves promoted the evolution of Gu Chen's body, allowing him to complete his fourth blood exchange in the Rebirth Realm.
This kind of speed of progress is enough to shock the jaws of countless people in Kyushu when word spreads out. No one can achieve this kind of breakthrough speed in the Grandmaster realm, not even in ancient times.
Gu Chen's strength can really be said to be improving with each passing day, and his progress has been too rapid.
"No matter what, only your own strength is the hardest truth." Gu Chen whispered.
He was very conscious. Although the power of the gloves was very powerful, once it broke out, Gu Chen had unrivaled power. Even the martial arts masters in the Xiantian realm could kill like melons and vegetables. It was enough to make people addicted, but after all
, that is not his own strength.
Relying too much on external forces is not a good sign.
Warriors must ultimately rely on themselves.
Moreover, the glove in the palm of his left hand has an inexplicable origin and is extremely evil. It is better not to use it if it can be used.
To this day, Gu Chen still doesn't understand why he was chosen for this glove.
He didn't feel that this was really a reward given to him by the Chunyang Wuzong Trial Tower.
Maybe the Chunyang Wuzong's trial tower is suppressing this weapon?
Shaking his head, Gu Chen no longer thought about the origin of the gloves. Unless it was a life or death situation, Gu Chen would not take the initiative to use the power of the gloves again.
Moreover, the glove obviously has its own consciousness and cannot be used by Gu Chen whenever he wants. The last time he used it, Gu Chen massacred countless barbarian soldiers in order to make a deal with them. It can also be said to be an "equivalent exchange".
"It's time for another comprehensive upgrade."
Gu Chen came back to his senses, took a deep breath, slowly calmed down, and brought up his own panel.
This time, for completing the mission in Yanzhou, Jingtiansi gave Gu Chen a lot of merits, more than usual. With these merits, Gu Chen was confident that his strength would advance by leaps and bounds again in a short period of time, reaching a level of
