094: Which is more important, her choice (one more)
Because of the fall of Yang Yi, the tide of the battle was reversed, and the Lijun army was in turmoil, and then after the 200,000 Chu troops poured out of the city, they fought with the Beili army, and the battle situation was very unfavorable to Beili.
After the Beili army withdrew, the Chu army was going to chase after them, but Lou Yueqing stopped them and just ordered them to clean up the battlefield.
Then, standing at the gate of the city, looking at the dense corpses on the endless plain in front of him, smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, for a long time, he did not move his feet.
Most of the white clothes on her body were stained red with blood, and there were still traces of blood left by the battle on her hands, she stood there still, motionless, but Mo Li, who was standing behind her, could clearly see that her hands were trembling.
The calm eyes are full of sadness and helplessness.
Sure enough, there is no victory or defeat in the war, only killing.
I don't know how long it took, she seemed to have seen enough, slowly turned around, walked to a few horses not far away, turned over one of them, and then rode towards the city, Mo Li followed.
In the city, there were cheers everywhere, and Hedu City, which was originally panicked because Beili was going to attack the city, cheered after the Beili army retreated.
Lou Yueqing rode her horse to the post house, where Rong Zhi is now recuperating.
At this time, the post house was extremely tightly guarded, because the people who lived in it were no one else, but His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, who held the power of the Chu State, and Rong Zhi was seriously injured on the battlefield, so in order to prevent someone from taking advantage of this opportunity to be unfavorable to him, he could only send a large number of people to guard the post house, plus Rong Zhi himself brought the secret guards by his side, and the post house was guarded.
In the past two days, several groups of assassins who intended to assassinate have come, and there have been several poisoning tricks, but they have not yet reached Rong Zhi, and they have all been discovered, so nothing happened to Rong Zhi.
As soon as Lou Yueqing arrived at the post house, she directly pulled a guard to lead the way and walked to the place where Rong Zhi was.
Seeing that the guards of the post house are so strict, Lou Yueqing can imagine how heavy Rong Zhi's injuries are, although there are many people around him who protect him on weekdays, but because of his own martial arts, these people who protect him are just decorations, but now, there are soldiers stationed on the three floors of the post house, and there are still a large number of secret guards in the post house, it is conceivable that he is indeed so seriously injured that he has no ability to protect himself.
When she walked to the door, she saw a group of dark guards and Mingshu guarding the door, and Mingshu said that Rong Zhi was waiting for her.
As soon as Lou Yueqing entered the door, she looked at Rong Zhi, who was sitting quietly on the couch and leaning on the cushion to close her eyes and recuperate, although she was a few feet away, Lou Yueqing could still see that Rong Zhi's face was very bad, she looked bloodless, her face was haggard, very weak, and even her breathing was very shallow.
On his body, only an outer robe was draped, and the outer robe was loosely exposed to a large part of his chest, and it was vaguely recognizable that he was wrapped in bandages.
In addition to the smell of medicine, there was also a smell of blood in the air.
He suffered severe internal injuries, but the external injuries were not minor.
Lou Yueqing clenched her fists, suppressed the obscurity and distress in her heart, and walked over.
Rong Zhi was just closing his eyes to recuperate, so when she came within a foot of him, he noticed someone approaching and opened his bloodshot eyes.
Seeing that it was her, he was stunned for a moment, and then, his eyes moved to her, and seeing the blood stains on the dress she hadn't had time to change, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked in a dumb voice, "Injured?"
Because he had not been able to control himself during the questioning, he leaned forward, so he pulled the wound, he couldn't help frowning and gasping, but he didn't say anything, just gritted his teeth and endured.
Seeing this, Lou Yueqing hurriedly stepped forward to help him, Rong Zhi ignored the severe pain on his body, and pulled her to see how her injuries were, Lou Yueqing hurriedly said: "Don't move, I'm fine, it's not my blood!"
Hearing this, Rong Zhi put his mind at ease, and then, withdrawing his hand, covering his chest, frowning and clenching his teeth, looking pained.
Seeing the blood slowly flowing out between his fingers, and the white bandage wrapped around his chest was already red, Lou Yueqing was shocked: "Your wound is cracked!"
Immediately afterward, there was another rush in the room.
Lou Yueqing cleaned Rong Zhi's wound, applied medicine, and re-bandaged it, and after the bandage, Rong Zhi was already unconscious.
He was so badly injured that he woke up with no energy, but he waited for her to come back, and when he saw that she was safe, he relieved himself and fell into a deep coma.
Lou Yueqing had already guessed that his injury was not light, but when she saw the wound with her own eyes, she still couldn't help but tremble.
The bloody wound penetrated almost the entire body, only half an inch away from the heart, and it hurt the lungs, plus the internal injuries were not light, it was not easy for him to survive.
After a long while, she suppressed the mixed feelings in her heart, and then she asked Mingshu, "Why is he so badly injured?"
It stands to reason that even if the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, even if he has a Gu poison attack, he will not be seriously injured so much, and he almost lost his life.
I was embarrassed for a while: "This ......"
Lou Yueqing saw that he hesitated not to speak, and her face sank: "Say!"
Ming Shu had no choice but to tell euphemistically: "The one who fought with the prince that day was Xiao Yishen, the king of North Liping and South of the South!"
Lou Yueqing was stunned for a moment, and then, her body stiffened.
Xiao Yishen ......
From the mouth of the night, Lou Yueqing learned about the situation of the day, when Rong Zhi led the troops under Hepu City, vowed to recapture Hepu City and Nanqi Pass, at that time stationed in Hepu, it was Xiao Yishen, the two armies fought, the commanders of the two sides naturally also fought each other, Xiao Yishen's martial arts are not Rong Zhi's opponent, however, Rong Zhi has always been merciful to his subordinates, a fight down, Rong Zhi noticed the abnormality in the body, many years of experience told him that the Gu poison was about to attack, he planned to retreat first, he knew that he would have an accident if he stayed any longer, but Xiao Yishen chased and beat hard, Rong Zhi injured him with a sword, Xu was intentional not to hurt his life, so the sword stabbed Xiao Yishen's shoulder, who knew that Xiao Yishen took the opportunity to stab Rong Zhi in the chest with a sword, and then, both of them were injured, and Rong Zhi was also injured because he was unable to suppress the Gu poison at all, causing the Gu poison to attack wantonly, and he almost couldn't hold on.
As soon as Lou Yueqing listened to Ming's words, she knew the reason, in the final analysis, Rong Zhi did this, just to care about her, and didn't want her to be sad, and almost lost his life.
Xiao Yishen is her brother, both a cousin and a cousin, Rong Zhi knows her past, and must know that she has a good relationship with this brother, if something happens to Xiao Yishen, she will definitely be sad.
But Rong Zhi, do you know that in my heart now, there is no one or thing that is more important than you......
After instructing Ming Shu and Mo Li to retreat, only she and Rong Zhi were left in the room, Lou Yueqing put her hand on Rong Zhi's face, caressing his face, and then, slowly moving down, staying at his heart, her palm lightly pressed against the thick gauze, feeling his slight heartbeat, she felt sad.
She rarely shed tears, but in the end, she couldn't help but slip two lines of tears......
"Rong Zhi, I'm sorry ......"
All of this is because she is sorry for him, this war was brought by her, and his injuries are also because of her.
She brought killing and death to so many innocent people, brought such stigma to the Lou family, and now, she almost killed him.
Looking at the corpses and blood of the two armies fighting today, her heart was as if she had been Lingchi.
Now, she had no choice......
……
Inside the city of Hepo.
Today's Hepu City has been occupied by the Liguo army, but fortunately, because of Xiao Yishen's order, no one dares to disturb the people, although the people in the army are very dissatisfied with this, but they do not dare to disobey the military order, so the hundreds of thousands of people in Hepu City are not worried about their lives, just because the city is full of Lijun, and the people are closed.
The mansion of the city guard of Hepu City has been occupied by the Li army, and at this time, Xiao Yishen and other generals live in it.
Yang Yi was carried back, and when he returned to Hepu, he was already dying, not only losing too much blood, but also hurting his lungs, so his life was in danger.
After a group of military doctors took turns to fight, they barely saved Yang Yi's life, but the injury was extremely serious, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get out of bed for ten days and half a month.
Knowing that Yang Yi's life was worry-free, everyone was relieved.
Xiao Yishen, who was recuperating from his injuries in his own room, also came to join in the fun, and when he heard the report from the military doctor, although he was relieved, he still sneered very unceremoniously: "You can't die if you are injured like this, it's cheap!"
Everyone was silent and didn't dare to talk.
Who doesn't know that this master has always been at odds with General Yang, but it is already rare to gloat and not go over to stab General Yang and send General Yang a ride, and can you still expect him to say good things?
Xiao Yishen was obviously in a good mood, and he didn't even feel pain in his wounds, anyway, he was happy to see Yang Yi injured, and he didn't move him because he was afraid of the aunt and grandmother at home, but if someone did it for him, he was happy.
Seeing that Xiao Yike had been standing there silent, Xiao Yishen raised his eyebrows and leaned over: "Second brother, what's wrong with you, why haven't you spoken?"
After Xiao Yike was carried back from Yang Yi, he kept silent, just staring at Yang Yi's wound for a while, and then he was silent again......
Xiao Yike came back to his senses at this time, but ignored him, but looked at Jing Xun on the side: "Who shot Yang Yi and injured him?"
Because of the disadvantage of the teacher, Yang Yi almost died, Jing Xun's face was a little heavy, he had been sitting on the side and hanging his head in silence, hearing Xiao Yike's voice, he thought about it and replied: "A woman!"
Xiao Yike was stunned.
Jing Xun said again: "If I guess correctly, that woman is Rong Zhi's princess!"
If she was an ordinary woman, how could she be qualified to command the battle situation, and how could she make the Chu army in Hedu City obey her orders?
Therefore, today's woman must be Rong Zhi's famous princess.
Xiao Yike's face turned pale......
Really hassle-free......
Yang Yi's arrow deviated from the heart by half an inch, so it was not enough to be fatal, obviously the archer's subordinates were merciful, and if he could shoot to this position, he could see how good this person was at riding and shooting, although the wound was not fatal, but it was very serious, and it hurt the lungs, Yang Yi didn't want to lead the troops to fight again within half a month, obviously, the man intended to keep his life, and he didn't want him to continue to fight.
There will be no one else but her.
She really came to the river crossing......
He knew that Rong Zhi was seriously injured, and she would inevitably come, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
It was so fast that he wasn't ready to face her.
On the second day, it was located on a mountain on the upper edge of the Qingchuan Plain.
When Xiao Yike arrived on horseback, Lou Yueqing was already waiting for him.
The breeze blew, causing her cloak and black hair to flutter and flutter, and her clothes fluttering, but she stood motionless, like a statue.
Because it was early in the morning, the sun was rising, and the morning light shrouded her, looking from a distance, it was like a beautiful scroll, which made people unable to take their eyes off.
Xiao Yike came alone, and when he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he saw Mo Li and two horses waiting for Lou Yueqing at the bottom of the mountain.
He knew that Mo Li was her confidant maid, so he was not surprised to see her, and without saying a word, he handed over the horse to Mo Li and tied it, and he walked to the top of the mountain, which was not too high.
The top of the mountain, which was no more than ten zhang high, soon arrived, and as soon as he came up, he saw Lou Yueqing standing there quietly with him on his back, looking at the north in the distance, stunned.
Xiao Yike stood there and looked at her for a long time, she didn't seem to notice him behind her, and she didn't turn around, just like that, the brother and sister stood on the top of the mountain one after the other.
I don't know how long it took, but he walked up to her.
Turning her head slightly to look at him, she didn't have a wave on her face, and she didn't see any surprise, it seemed that she had already known about his existence.
Yes, with her skills, how could she not notice that someone was behind her?
It's been half a year, and when Xiao Yike saw Lou Yueqing, he knew that she had lost weight again, and her face was even haggard than when she saw her before.
The vicissitudes of the eyes are even worse.
After glancing at him, she turned her head away, did not speak, and continued to look far to the north, as if she had lost her mind.
Xiao Yike broke the silence: "How is Rong Zhi's injury?"
He knew that Rong Zhi was not lightly injured, but he didn't know how it was, he had told Xiao Yishen before not to confront Rong Zhi head-on, but the kid didn't listen, and as he expected, both of them were injured.
Lou Yueqing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "What else, I can't die!"
Xiao Yike frowned, he couldn't die...... That is, it hurts very badly.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yike slowly opened his mouth and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'm sorry!"
Lou Yueqing turned her head to look at him, her face was calm, and she asked, "Why do you want to apologize?"
Xiao Yike didn't speak, why did he apologize?
He couldn't stop this tragedy, let it all happen, make her sad and sad, shouldn't he apologize?
He said that he would protect her and not make her sad again, but now, he can't do anything, how can he not feel guilty?
Seeing him like this, Lou Yueqing naturally knew what he was thinking, so she didn't say anything, but just asked, "Does the second brother know what I was thinking just now?"
Xiao Yike looked at her: "What do you think?"
She moved her gaze forward, looked in the direction of the north, and slowly spoke, with an unknown meaning: "I'm wondering, if the mountains and rivers there are broken, will all the past feelings and hatreds be annihilated!"
Xiao Yike's face changed: "Don't worry, you ......"
Lou Yueqing interrupted Xiao Yike's words, and said: "This war was brought by me, my unwillingness and willfulness brought such a massacre, my evasion and retreat, which made it difficult for this war to end, and because of me, my husband almost lost his life, and let the Lou family, who was so kind to me, bear the infamy, but even so, they never blamed me for this matter, but they don't know, the more they are like this, the more I can't bear it!"
She even hoped that they would blame her, instead of blindly tolerating her, how maybe she would feel better, but no.
Last night, Rong Zhi woke up and apologized to her, he was just a fool, his tone was gentle, and there was no blame, as if this matter had nothing to do with her......
But what he knew, if she hadn't attacked that person outside Bailan Pass that day, there would not have been this battle, if she was willing to let go of the knot in her heart and tell the world, this battle could have been avoided, but she didn't, even so, he never blamed her.
Xiao Yike was silent.
Lou Yueqing smiled bitterly, and said quietly: "They treat me so well, I can't repay it, now, I don't want to let them be hurt anymore, and I don't have this qualification, life can't be both ways after all, since I came here, I have already made a choice, if I ......" She turned her head to look at Xiao Yike, and said with a firm gaze: "I can give up all my obsessions, just treat everything in the past as if it was just a dream, all blood bonds, but empty talk!"
In other words, her choice is Chu State, Lou Jia, and Rong Zhi.
Hearing this, Xiao Yike seemed to be unacceptable, looked at her in disbelief, his face was a little ugly, and after a while, he asked, "Worry-free, do you know what you're talking about?"
Lou Yueqing nodded and said lightly: "I know!"
"Then you still ......"
Lou Yueqing looked at Xiao Yike with blazing eyes, and said frankly: "From the standpoint of this matter, I am the regent princess of Chu State, the wife of Rong Zhi, and the daughter of the Lou family, but I have nothing to do with Liguo, second brother thinks, do I still have a choice?"
She is not qualified to have any selfish motives, and once the war between the two countries reaches the point where it is difficult to end, what can she do?
Now, even if she announces to the world that she is the princess of Liguo, it is just a joke and has no meaning.
When Xiao Yike heard this, he was speechless, and quietly looked at Lou Yueqing with a self-deprecating and helpless expression, and he sighed.
There was nothing he could do about it, and there was no way to explain it to her.
Everything is just for her, but it hurts her deeply, although he doesn't want to, but his father has made up his mind, and no one can stop it.
Looking at her for a moment, he asked, "Then now you ...... What do you want?"
Lou Yueqing said: "It's not how I want to be, but how Liguo wants to be!"
Xiao Yike was stunned.
Lou Yueqing said frankly: "Now that Liguo occupies Hepu and Nanqiguan, unless Liguo retreats now and withdraws from Chu, otherwise, when Rongzhi is injured, he will definitely recapture the lost territory at any cost, and even wave his army to the north, his character I know best, this Liguo's southern attack has touched his bottom line, he can't give up, the final result is to lose both, maybe he can't shake the country of Liguo, but, a life disaster, he can still do it!"
At that time, even if it was her, it would be impossible to stop it, and she would not have the qualifications and position to stop Rong Zhi.
He can show mercy to Xiao Yishen's subordinates for her, but he will not ignore the dignity of the country for her, and so many innocent people who died because of this battle.
He was not only her husband, but also the regent of the Chu State.
