Chapter 794 Farewell to the Old General

Ning Chen sighed slightly.

Old General Chen looked back at him and said with a smile: "You brat, I'm just grumbling. Now that I'm old, I'm always worried about gains and losses... I want to live, but I don't want to live too useless."

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Old General, let's go back. The wind is strong on the cliff, so don't make us sick!"

"How can I be so fragile? Let me take a good look at the magnificent mountains and rivers of Daxuan. I'm afraid I won't be able to see it again."

Ning Chen frowned, "Can we stop talking nonsense?"

General Chen laughed heartily.

"You brat, I have a few things to ask of you."

Ning Chen hurriedly said: "Old General, just give us the orders directly."

Old General Chen said: "After I leave, I will leave my house to you, as well as some of my savings... Just find my housekeeper after you return to Beijing."

Old General Chen has a family full of loyal men and his sons died in battle. Now he is the only old man left alone.

Therefore, he left all his savings to Ning Chen.

Old General Chen continued: "You brat, if I leave, there's no need to do anything big, just bury me in the Chen family's land.

Also, what I worry about the most are these old subordinates. Good luck to me. You can help me take care of them. They are all tough men. "

Ning Chen frowned, "Old General, why are you talking about this?"

Old General Chen said with a smile: "When people get old, they like to chatter... I understand my body, and I may leave one day, so these people have to tell them in advance, so as not to have no chance to tell them by then.

And the most important point is that now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, today is different from the past. The new emperor is eager to establish his authority, so you have to change your temper and don't offend Long Yan... Throughout the ages, there have been countless emperors, not everyone Everyone is as generous as His Majesty, remember? "

Ning Chen nodded, "I remember!"

The old general looked at the magnificent mountains in the distance and said softly: "Brat, I'm a little cold. Go and get me some thick clothes to keep out the wind."

Ning Chen immediately took off his cloak and put it on the old general.

Old General Chen looked at him with a kind smile on his face, "You brat, go and get another pair of thick clothes. Don't catch the cold."

Ning Chen rubbed his arms, it was indeed a bit cold, "Old General, let's go back?"

Old General Chen shook his head, "Let me stay a little longer!"

"Then I'll go back and get some thick clothes and I'll be right back."

Ning Chen ran back to the camp, took a large cloak and returned to the cliff.

"I stand in the fierce wind, sword in hand, asking the world who is the hero..."

Ning Chen howled a few times and asked with a smile: "Old General, am I good at singing?"

General Chen did not respond.

Ning Chen smiled and turned around to look, the expression on his face solidifying little by little.

Old General Chen was leaning on his spear, with his eyes closed and a smile on his lips, bathing in the morning sunshine, looking extremely peaceful.

But the armor covered with knife marks made him look desolate and tragic.

This old man who spent his whole life in the military is finally gone... Even if he dies, he will die standing up!

With tears in his eyes, Ning Chen knelt down in the snow and shouted hoarsely: "Farewell, old general, have a good trip, old general. Farewell, old general, have a good trip..."

In the distance, several veterans who had been waiting on the old general rushed over.

In an instant, there was a burst of crying!

Everyone is here.

Emperor Xuan looked at the lifeless old man standing on the edge of the cliff holding a spear and burst into tears!

He was able to sit firmly on the Dragon Throne and Daxuan prospered, and General Chen played an important role!

General Chen is the true pillar of the country!

Everyone burst into tears!

General Chen died at the end of his life.

And everyone knew very well that the old general's body could not last much longer.

But everyone still couldn't accept this sudden departure!

The original plan was cancelled.

The old general's body had to be transported back to the capital for burial.

So, the next day, everyone set off back to the capital.

After more than twenty days, the old general's body was transported back to the capital.

Fortunately, it's freezing cold now. If it were summer, the body wouldn't be able to be kept there for so long.

As soon as possible, the old general must be buried as soon as possible.

Emperor Xuan originally wanted to bury the old general in a state funeral.

But the old general's last wish was not to make things big.

Seven days later, the old general was laid to rest.

The old general had a loyal family but had no heirs. On the day of the funeral, Ning Chen put on mourning and personally supported the deceased.

The new emperor decreed that the whole country mourned and no feasting was allowed for three months.

In the next few days, Ning Chen was not in a good mood!

On this day, he rode Diao Chan to General Chen's mansion.

From a distance, I saw two eunuchs in eunuch uniforms, stepping on ladders and picking up the plaque of the General's Mansion.

Ning Chen was about to stop him when he heard two eunuchs shout in surprise. The plaque fell off and fell to the ground, causing the plaque to crack.

"You bitch, you're so clumsy, you almost hit the Zajia family... If you hit the Zajia family, let's see if I don't skin you..."

The person who scolded the two young eunuchs was Liu Kuan, now the senior eunuch beside the new emperor.

"Eunuch Liu, forgive me, Eunuch Liu, forgive me..."

The two young eunuchs climbed down from the ladder in panic and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Liu Kuan looked at the angry old soldiers next to him, "What are you still doing here? Go away... You can't take anything from the mansion with you."

An old soldier was furious and was about to speak, but suddenly looked behind Liu Kuan.

Liu Kuan subconsciously looked back and his face suddenly changed.

Ning Chen rode slowly towards him, his sharp eyes were like two sharp blades, making his skin cold.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Liu Kuan saluted nervously.

Ning Chen turned over and got off the horse, walked over to pick up the plaque on the ground, looked at the broken characters, and was furious.

"Your Majesty, you came at the right time. They want to take down the plaque of the general's mansion and drive us all out... Please make the decision, Your Majesty!"

An old soldier said angrily.

Ning Chen turned his head and looked at Liu Kuan, and asked word by word: "Who asked you to come?"

Liu Kuan leaned over and said: "Your Highness, this house is a reward from the court. General Chen is dead and has no heirs. According to the laws of Daxuan, this house must be taken back."

Ning Chen held the plaque and leaned it against the wall, saying lightly: "The old general has made great contributions to Daxuan throughout his life. Now it's only the seventh day, and his body is still warm, and you are in a hurry to drive him away and take the house?

General Chen said before his death that this house would be inherited by this prince."

Liu Kuan hurriedly said: "Your Highness, do you have a written document?"

"No !"

"Is there any witness?"

"No!"

"This..." Liu Kuan was embarrassed, "Your Highness has no evidence, and this is the royal residence, so General Chen's words don't count."

Ning Chen said calmly, "This residence was given to General Chen by the Emperor. Does the Emperor know that you want to take it back?"

Liu Kuan leaned forward and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. We are just following the rules!"

"Rules? As far as I know, the Ministry of Revenue should be responsible for this kind of thing, right?" Ning Chen's cold eyes fell on Liu Kuan, and he asked word by word, "Is that what Your Majesty meant?"
