"Are you not so scared now?" Xu Zhao saw Zhao Dabao standing straight and wearing armor, looking like a young soldier, as if the timid boy he met at the beginning was just Xu Zhao's fantasy.
"When you go to the battlefield, tell those closest to you that when you reach the underworld, they'll be able to recognize you by seeing this mask. That way, you won't have to worry about others not recognizing you."
Xu Zhao coaxed and deceived her, saying that sometimes the truth is not important, what is important is belief.
Xu Zhao didn't believe that there was such a thing as the Yellow Springs Road in this world, but since Zhao Dabao believed in it, she weaved a beautiful dream for her.
"Since you're no longer afraid, why don't you come with me to take a look outside the barracks and say goodbye to those brothers you know well?"
Although he had only known Zhao Dabao for a short time, Xu Zhao could feel the boy's sincerity. He was just young and had not experienced these things.
When I grow up and understand more, I will regret hiding in the corner today and not daring to go forward to see you off.
This is why she wanted to persuade Zhao Dabao to go out and take a look.
Zhao Dabao hesitated for a long time, and just when Xu Zhao's patience was about to run out, he finally spoke, "Sister Xu, come with me to take a look. I want to go and say goodbye to those brothers."
Those brothers had always taken good care of him. Whenever they had something delicious, they would think of him. If he didn't go to worship them, he was afraid that when he met them in the underworld in the future, they would blame him for being ignorant.
"Let's go."
Xu Zhao came to the outside of the military camp again, and Zhao Dabao quietly slipped into the crowd. Although he was small, he was still quite conspicuous among the crowd.
Xu Zhao thought about it and tiptoed to the edge of the crowd. Although she might not know who had died, even when she heard Shen Yu reading out their names, she had no idea what these people looked like.
Even so, she just wanted to accompany these soldiers who lost their lives on the battlefield on this final journey, and accompany these surviving soldiers to see off their good brothers.
After Shen Yu finished reading the name of the last deceased soldier, the leading monk followed suit and joined the chanting team.
The soldiers once again raised their wine bowls, and the wine jars were passed down from the person in front, and everyone filled their cups with wine.
Xu Zhao saw Zhao Dabao taking out a black wine bowl from somewhere. It seemed that he had prepared it, but he just didn't have the courage to stand there.
As expected, she was not wrong about him. Zhao Dabao was a kind and loyal child.
Several masters kept reciting scriptures as if they were tireless.
Shen Yu picked it up and shouted loudly: "I hope that the gods will show their support and help me to stabilize my country and prosper my empire. I hope that the gods will be able to help me to stabilize my country and prosper my empire. I pray to the gods with all my heart, and may my empire be stable forever and my people prosperous."
"I wish to offer this sacrifice to the underworld, may the world be peaceful and the living worry-free. I offer a glass of wine, light a stick of incense, and may the deceased rest in peace in the underworld."
"Brothers, have a safe journey!"
After a loud shout, everyone shouted: "Brothers, have a safe journey!"
The sound was so shocking that it seemed to shake the heavens and the earth and tremble the mountains and rivers.
After everyone finished shouting, they drank the wine in their cups.
As Zhao Dabao listened to Shen Yu's farewell speech, he began to silently recite the names of the people in his memory. Finally, they all shouted together: "Brothers, have a safe journey!"
His voice was loud, but it was no match for the louder noises around him. His different shouts were drowned out by others, and no one noticed the difference in his shouts.
Xu Zhao didn't drink. She just bowed to the front as a sign of respect, and silently wished her a safe journey in her heart.
What Xu Zhao thought did not happen afterwards. She thought that Shen Yu and his soldiers would throw the bowls in their hands on the ground after drinking, just like in TV dramas, but this did not happen.
It turns out that TV dramas are harmful. There weren't so many bowls to throw in ancient times. I guess the bowl-throwing action was designed to create an atmosphere in TV dramas.
It was not until the second half of the night that the master who was chanting the sutras opened his eyes, concluding a Dharma assembly.
At the same time, the soldiers left one after another.
Xu Zhao returned to the barracks with the others. She had slept a bit too long during the day and was now feeling refreshed. However, the others returned to their own camps to rest.
She couldn't wander around randomly, so she had to go back to her tent.
She lay down on the bed and fell asleep again soon.
The next day.
Xu Zhao went to Shen Yu's place for breakfast.
As soon as I reached the door of the tent, I heard a familiar voice.
"Your Highness, I want to practice martial arts, go to the battlefield, and avenge my parents." A country comes before a family. Only when the Mobei Kingdom is defeated and dares not invade the Yue Kingdom again, these families on the border will not be harmed, and his parents' revenge can be truly avenged.
Seeing the two talking, Xu Zhao stopped and glanced inside. Only Shen Yu, Zhao Dabao and Fang Xuren were there. Since there was no one else, she didn't go in anymore.
She was worried that her presence would disturb their conversation.
Shen Yu recognized Zhao Dabao when he came to see him. This was the child whose parents had both died and whom he had taken in. A year had passed, and he looked stronger than before and had grown a lot taller.
Listening to the visitor's request, Shen Yu just frowned slightly, "I remember your name is Zhao Dabao, right?"
Zhao Dabao didn't expect that the prince actually remembered him. It seemed that what Sister Xu said was right. Their prince was really the best person and really remembered everyone in the military camp.
He nodded vigorously, "I'm Zhao Dabao."
"Dabao, there is no mercy on the battlefield. Do you really want to go?" Shen Yu said earnestly. He remembered that Dabao should be the only son in the family. If Dabao's parents were still alive, Shen Yu might not say these words. His parents would persuade him.
But now his parents died young, and he has no brothers or sisters. The swords on the battlefield are merciless, and if Dabao were to have an accident on the battlefield, their family would be completely extinct.
If he were to die in the future, how would he explain this to Dabao's parents?
"Think about it carefully. Even if not for yourself, you should also think about your parents. Do they really want you to go to the battlefield to avenge them?"
Shen Yu looked at Fang Xuren standing beside him and motioned him to try and persuade them together.
Fang Xuren was a rough man. He was used to riding horses and fighting, but he just didn't know how to persuade others. He turned his eyes away and didn't get involved in this persuasion.
When Shen Yu saw Fang Xuren turn his head away, he knew that this man was unreliable. He sighed softly, "Dabao, don't be blinded by hatred and make irrational decisions. Sometimes when you fall to your death, you will deeply regret the decision you made."
