Chapter 33: Paying the Price
The tall walls stand tall in the autumn wind, and they become more and more majestic. Under the city, the blood has long dried up, and the black traces indicate not only the blood and tears of the family, but also the tragedy left to the society in this era.
On the city wall, there is a banner of god gray to avoid war, and above the city, Zhao Ti and Zhao Kuo stand together, looking down, and the eyes are white. It was the barracks of the Qin army. Both of them were silent, and the wind howling towards the towers became more and more frenzied.
"The king intends to marry Princess Chaoyang to you." After a long time, Zhao raised his voice to break the loneliness in autumn. He spent a lot of money to learn the news from Gonggong Chen, who was next to the king.
"Cousin is talking about the eldest princess Chaoyang?" Zhao Kuo was dressed in armor, and his original handsome appearance was even tougher, his underwear was all white, and his sackcloth was covered in it, and he couldn't hide his sadness. In the eyes that were still immature, there were doubts at the moment.
"Who else but her?" Zhao Ti's tone was full of disdain, all the people of Zhao Kingdom, who doesn't know Princess Zhao of Chaoyang? Although she is a woman, she is better than the eldest child, and her biological mother is the wife of King Zhao. It's a pity that this Ying's family is frail and sickly, and she left after giving birth, and the only daughter left behind was coaxed and hurt by King Zhao like a baby. That's why it's so arrogant and domineering today. A few days ago, he also heard that King Zhao lifted the ban on Qin Gongzi for the sake of this unruly eldest princess.
"A gentleman marries a wife and marries a virtuous man, not in gold. I don't know what the temperament of this Chaoyang princess is? ”
"What? My cousin lives in Handan City, but I don't know this barbaric princess? Zhao Ti was surprised, this kind of news, even he knew as a northern border guard, this person living in Handan City didn't know, but it was really interesting. Then I thought about it again, with my cousin's temperament, it must be normal to ignore things outside the window! Zigu shook his head, and then smiled: "Cousin, I'm afraid I'm only concerned about studying!" ”
"I'm ashamed." Zhao Kuo smiled, and then asked: "This royal princess, although she must have been pampered since she was a child, she also attaches great importance to etiquette and upbringing. I don't know where the rudeness my cousin said came from? ”
"That's wrong, listen to me."
Over the years, Zhao Ti has heard about the deeds of this princess in the north, so he picked up a few typical things to listen to with his cousin.
The two brothers have been separated for many years, and although the war is tense now, and their father or uncle has just died fighting for the country, they still can't stop the joy of meeting.
Unlike the scene above the city, the atmosphere in the white tent was depressing.
In front of the map laid vertically on a pole, stands a tall figure. His eyes were cold, staring at the map, and he still missed it after all. It was only after missing Zhao Hao's ability to lead the troops that his own soldiers escaped to Changping Road in a false sense and innocently injured 30,000. Even though the main force of the Zhao army suffered heavy losses, in the end, when Zhao Hao was dying, he still let the Zhao army defend Pingyang City. And now that Zhao has changed generals and hung out the truce flag, I am afraid that the battle of Pingyang will drag on for a longer time. Delaying it longer means that it will take longer to see her, and it will take longer to get her. The brilliant red, against the white background, was so fascinating, so unforgettable.
Wang Jian was depressed in his heart, he missed this opportunity, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through Pingyang, not to mention the change of generals in Zhao Guo, he is not sure of the temperament of the new general.
It's really hateful, but I don't know who to hate! This is the truest portrayal of Zhao Hao's heart at this moment.
"General, there is news from Handan City." The person who came was Wang Qian's deputy general and his general. In this era, there are always some servants who can do martial arts in the noble family, let alone the family of military generals. This deputy general has been by Wang Qian's side since he was a child, and he knows the roots, and he is one of Wang Qian's most trusted people.
After taking the cloth handed by the deputy general, Wang Jian opened it casually and took a look, but he could no longer put down the cloth. After reading them word by word, Wang Qian's heart seemed to be torn in half, and it was painfully torn. Holding the ends of the cloth tightly, his hands trembled a little.
Seeing Wang Qian's strange expression, the deputy general unconsciously asked, "General, what is written in this letter?" ”
Wang Jian turned his head and didn't speak, but his eyes became cold.
"General, General? What, what's wrong? The deputy general has followed Wang Jian for so many years, and he has never seen him like this, and for a while, his speech was a little slurred.
"Let's go down!" Wang Jian turned around and left the deputy general's back.
The adjutant general didn't know what was going on, but he could only bow his head and retreat. If he looked carefully at this time, he could see that Wang Qian's eyes were tightly closed, and his expression was sad but extremely suppressed.
Wang Jian never thought that Lu Buwei would dare to lie to him! Lü Buwei actually gave Chan'er to Yiren, a proton who had long been abandoned by the Qin State. And the woman she misses in her heart has long been a wife and gave birth to a pair of twins! This qiē came too quickly and too suddenly, and he didn't even have any mental preparation, so he accepted such a blow nakedly.
"Lü Buwei!" Wang Jian almost gritted his teeth, squeezing Lü Buwei's name out of his teeth. Crumpled the cloth in his hand into a ball, Wang Jian used all his strength, as if as long as the cloth was pinched into nothingness, not a single qiē would happen.
Fang Cai still thought that maybe it would take some time in the world to see her, the woman who haunted his soul, but almost instantly, he quietly collapsed. The cruel reality of suing him, a qiē is just his struggle, the indispensable woman in his life, only lives in his consciousness, as if he has never existed in this world.
This qiē is all caused by Lu Buwei, and it is caused by his disobedience! Thinking of this, Wang Qian's heart was burned with anger again! Lü Buwei! Want to borrow his power to help Inhumans return home? No way! If he is unjust, why should he be kind?
But when he thought that he had no chance with the woman he wanted in his life, Wang Qian's heart couldn't help but tremble.
No, he still wants to see her, he can take her away, even if she is a wife, he can take her away!
It was almost a fleeting thought, but it immediately took root in Wang Qian's heart, and he couldn't suppress it anymore.
Almost at the same time, Wang Jian eagerly stretched out the ball in his hand, and then vigorously smoothed out the wrinkled and unsightly non-broadcast and put it on the table. Just now, between the ups and downs of his feelings, he didn't have time to take a closer look at the cloth, but at this time, he looked at it, but found that the background of the cloth was actually the military deployment map of Pingyang City!
Wang Jianzai carefully looked at the picture. On that map, it is densely packed, but it is clear that the troops of Pingyang City are deployed, including grain and grass, general camps, and the distribution of troops. God help me, Wang Jian sighed, and the depression in his heart subsided slightly.
Perhaps he thanked the letter and woke him up in time. Wang Jian suddenly understood, even if Zhao Chan was already a wife, with his great military exploits, couldn't he take her away from a proton? As for Lü Buwei, he will make this person pay for his actions, at least what he wants, he will not give him.
