The curtain came down on the continuous battle, and Li Chengfeng and the others could relax and recuperate, but the rest of Taiyang City had no chance to catch their breath at all, and even the seriously injured prince had to cheer up and lean on the hospital bed to deal with the chaotic government affairs.

After a great battle, the city of Taiyang was almost completely destroyed, a large number of houses were destroyed, and the city walls were also broken, if it was not for the city wall built very strong in the early days of the city, I am afraid that when the last wave of floods came, the walls of the city would be directly washed away.

More than half of the local people and fleeing victims of Taiyang City were killed and wounded, and nearly 50,000 people died in this disaster, of which less than 10,000 died of the plague, and less than 1,000 people died in the thunder and lightning bombardment of the old demon of the thundercloud, but many more died from the last terrifying corpse tide impact.

From this point of view, the lethality and destructive power of the absolute disease on the world, can be said to be the first among the cultivators in the world.

Zhao Hanqing leaned on the hard pear wood bed at this time, and there was still a flood on the ground that had not yet receded, so the officials had to wear high-soled official boots and step on the wooden planks that had been cushioned to come to the prince's bed, and carefully report to him the government affairs of Taiyang City at this time.

Zhao Hanqing looked at the rough statistics of the loss table, his eyes were sad and painful, and he sighed bitterly: "The disaster of the monk is as fierce as this!"

The officials who reported on the side were drenched in cold sweat when they heard it: My Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this disaster was quelled by the monks, and you said that if you unload the mill and kill the donkey like this, I'm afraid it's not good!

The officials bowed their heads and didn't dare to answer, only Ji Chen said boldly: "Thanks to Li Chengfeng, he killed the two devils in a row and eliminated harm for the people, and the world is very fortunate!"

Zhao Hanqing is not a mean person, he nodded, and said, "I want to be rewarded, I want to be rewarded!" Zhao Hanqing supported and wanted to sit up a little, but as soon as he moved, the wound was in severe pain.

Ji Chen was just about to step forward to help, but there was a shout outside: "Report! Your Highness, Zuo Lang Ning asks to see him!"

Zhao Hanqing was immediately overjoyed, because his face was flushed with excessive blood loss, and he hurriedly said: "Ning Aiqing is finally here? Hurry up, pass him in!"

Ji Chen saw that the wound on Zhao Hanqing's neck was oozing blood again because of excitement, and blood was immediately seen in the gauze, so he immediately persuaded: "Your Highness, don't get excited, take care of the dragon body!"

As he spoke, someone from outside had already strode over, and this person had extremely heavy steps, stepping on the plank sonorously and powerfully, showing an extremely strong character.

Ji Chen knew that the crown prince Zhao Hanqing had a core small group of five people, and they were the most important courtiers of the most core prince's line, among which the crown prince and the prince, Shilin leader Zhang Datong is known as the prince's courage, and Lang Ning Tongyi, the left attendant of the military department, is known as the prince's think tank, these two are the prince's left arm and right arm, Ning Tongyi is responsible for putting forward various policy suggestions for the prince, or serving as a policy consultant at any time, while Zhang Datong is responsible for checking and filling in the gaps, or influencing the final decision-making of the prince, all Daqi officials know that almost all important decisions during the prince's reign are from the five people, but almost all important decision-making strategies are proposed by Ning Tongyi!

Ji Chen looked at Ning Tongyi who strode forward with anxiety, and sure enough, at first sight, he found that this person's face was extremely majestic, he was a standard literati and military minister, although he was born as a scholar in the imperial examination, but later because he went to Dijon with the mission to negotiate, when the negotiation broke down and the other party wanted to strangle the mission, Ning Tongyi, who was the deputy envoy of the negotiation, immediately took the opportunity to take thirteen subordinates to fight out of the encirclement, and finally successfully escaped from the layers of encirclement and heavy pursuit and returned to Daqi, so he also became famous in a battle, and then began to "cross the border" , became another representative of the literati in the army.

Although Ning Tongyi is a literati, he is very burly, with a bearded face and a majestic beard, leopard eyes and a lion nose, and his eyes are like eagles and falcons.

Ning Tongyi saw Ji Chen at a glance, and saw him dressed as a master, his brows furrowed, his eyes showed a strong color of contempt and disgust, his voice was as loud as a bell, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the dust on the roof shook down: "Who are you?

As soon as these words came out, Ji Chen lowered his head with shame on his face, and he was full of resentment in his heart.

Zhao Hanqing reluctantly smiled at Ji Chen, and said softly: "I've worked hard for you, you should go and have a good rest." ”

Ji Chen knew that his role was to help the prince deal with the chaotic government affairs, and act as a lubricant between him and the officials of Taiyang City, but at this time, after the battle, Ning Tongyi rushed over, and it was obvious that the prince no longer needed himself, and it was already a rare attitude of Corporal Lixian to have such a gentle speech.

Ji Chen said goodbye and retreated, retreated under Ning Tongyi's disgusted gaze, and as soon as he went out, he heard Ning Tongyi's disdainful voice in the house: "Master, let the courtier's ears! Your Highness must not be in the company of such people, most of these people are scum villains, they can't handle government affairs, and they are good at corruption and power! Especially this person is described as obscene, roe deer, and is definitely not a good type!"

What the prince said, Ji Chen couldn't hear it at all, his mind was buzzing, and the officials waiting for the prince to meet him outside also looked at him with all kinds of eyes, making him feel as if he was standing naked in front of the public, stripped naked and humiliated.

Ji Chen was extremely ashamed, covered his face with his sleeves and walked away quickly, and only after leaving the Taishou Mansion did he put down his sleeves and looked at the direction where the Prince of the Taishou Mansion and the others behind him were sitting with extremely resentful eyes, he trembled, his fists were clenched, and the anger and resentment in his heart were like boiling water.

When Corporal Zhao Hanqing used him, when Zhao Hanqing faced thousands of thunders in danger, and when Zhao Hanqing did not hesitate to protect the people of Limin, Ji Chen was deeply moved, he really saw the appearance of the immortal lord and the contemporary saint.

At that moment, he really wanted to dedicate his blood and life to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even if he was crushed!

After all, they are all people who grew up reading the books of sages, who doesn't have a little blood and justice in their hearts?

But...... Ji Chen finally found out that he and the prince, or rather, the prince's side couldn't accommodate people like him at all, because he looked like a villain, so he was destined to be a villain!

Heaven has arranged it this way, and the world thinks so much, no matter how much he struggles, he seems to be unable to escape this fate.

Tears could be faintly seen in Ji Chen's red eyes, but as he lowered his head and revealed a fierce gaze, his tears disappeared, and he left quickly, alone, no one cared about his departure, and no one would think about what his departure would bring.
