Chapter 332: Self-blame
"Save him. In any case, save him. There was a hint of tremor in Fang Xiaoyu's voice, hidden under the composure of the force.
Cheng Youyou knew that the person lying on the ground should be Fang Xiaoyu's husband, Ye Xici, the son of King An.
She didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly stepped forward to check, carefully examined it, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The injury is very serious, but I can't die if I am here." It's just that this cave is dark and damp, and it is not suitable for recuperation, so he needs to be given a different place. Cheng Youyou untied the bandaged cloth, took out some pills from his arms, crushed them and applied them to Ye Xici's wound, and continued: "The medicine I brought is not enough, I need to go down the mountain." โ
"He might move now?" Fang Xiaoyu looked around at this stone cave. The place is not very big, and it is a little crowded with more people. In addition, there are many injured people here, and if they are not treated in time, it is likely to cause infection.
"It's okay to be careful." Cheng Youyou replied.
"Okay, you go down the mountain and bring more medicine and prepare more, there are a lot of wounded here." After speaking, he said to Tu Hongzheng: "You go down the mountain with her, and by the way, prepare some clean clothes and bring them up." โ
The two were ordered to leave. Fang Xiaoyu asked Yu Ruyan again: "Does Miss Yu know that there are houses for sale in the city?" The house should be larger and more spacious, at least enough for these people. It's best to be in a secluded location, not in those busy areas. โ
Yu Ruyan thought about it, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Speaking of which, there is really such a house, located in an alley in the city, a three-way house, and a big garden at the back. Originally, it was a well-known house in the city. It's just that after the war broke out in Beiyan, he sold the house, saying that he was going to go to the capital to join his relatives to avoid trouble and flee for his life. And the house was empty. He seemed to have asked an acquaintance to help him keep an eye on it. If there is a buyer, it will be sold. It's just that this house is not small, and the price is not cheap, and now Beiyan is in this situation, I'm afraid that few people can buy and sell. โ
"Miss Yu has seen that house?" Fang Xiaoyu was a little moved.
Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "I've seen it a few times." I was thinking about opening another inn, but it happened to be quiet. Guests can rest at ease. It's a pity that the asking price is too expensive, and I really can't afford it. But the location of the house is good, because it is in the innermost part of the alley. There are not many pedestrians, but it is a good place to recuperate. โ
"That's very good. Silver is not a problem. Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I still have to trouble Miss Yu to come forward and buy this house." My father and I won't stay in Beiyan for too long, but we will stay for the time being, and we will leave Beiyan and return to Beijing. And the house was given to the girl. โ
"No, no, no. This is not to be done. How can I receive such a big gift? Yu Ruyan secretly said, the price of that house is very expensive, but it can't be set for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Giving away the house so generously shows that this Miss Fang is a rich master.
But she didn't dare to ask for such a big gift, after all, she didn't go to save General Fang at the beginning.
"Miss Yu doesn't have to shirk. Once the house was bought, it was abandoned if it was not inhabited. I don't come to Beiyan a few times a year. Rather than leaving the accumulated dust, it is better to leave it to Miss Yu to do some business. Just next time if I come back. Miss Yu, don't take my money. Fang Xiaoyu smiled, she didn't care much about a house.
"This ......," Yu Ruyan hesitated.
And so it was decided. Miss Yu's life-saving grace is much more valuable than that house. Fang Xiaoyu smiled at Yu Ruyan, and then squatted beside Ye Xici, using the internal force in his body to warm the meridians for him.
Her "Book of Earth" has recently become a small success, and the "Book of Earth" and "Book of Heaven" complement each other, the internal force in his body and the internal force cultivated by Ye Xici's cultivation of "The Book of Heaven" are blended together, which will make Ye Xici's injuries recover faster.
Sure enough, Ye Xici, who had not woken up at all, moved comfortably, his eyes narrowed with difficulty, and he wanted to break away, but he seemed to have wasted a lot of strength, and then closed it again.
After a long time, he seemed to get used to such candlelight, opened his eyes and looked up in a daze, and then blinked fiercely.
He realized that he was hallucinating, and the physical pain was so intense that he thought he was dying, which is why he was hallucinating.
All he saw was a pair of eyes, with a slight smile, looking at him gently. The owner of those eyes, with a beautiful face, a face that no one could compare to in his eyes, was now opposite his gaze.
Ye Xi smiled self-deprecatingly, and said in his heart that God is not thin to me, although the first half of his life was wronged and wronged, but after all, he finally got a woman who could let him love wholeheartedly. Although this good life is extremely short, it is so short that he may die in just a few months after getting married. But he didn't regret it much. He saved his father-in-law, saved the father of the woman he loved, and it was worth it to be able to keep her relatives.
"You're awake." The smile of the person in front of him grew bigger and bigger, and the voice sounded familiar. How similar is it to the person in your memory? Ye Xici was suddenly reluctant to die. He thought that there was still someone waiting for him to go back, he was no longer alone, he already had a bond.
If he dies here, will she feel sorry for her?
He didn't want to guess the possibility, he would rather go back to the home that belonged to them with her smile on her face than guess if she would be sad about her death.
Ye Xici remembered that Fang Xiaoyu had said that if he died in Beiyan, he would take the lives of 700,000 people in the Quicksand Country to bury him. Ye Xi smiled, trying to change to a comfortable position, and said with a weak smile: "For the sake of the lives of 700,000 people in the Quicksand Country, I also have to go back alive." He smiled wryly.
Just can you really go back alive?
"Do you remember what I said?" Fang Xiaoyu laughed from the bottom of his heart, and then immediately sank his face and said, "They dare to hurt you so deeply." I will avenge you. โ
Ye Xici thought that he was hallucinating again. These **** have been having a high fever, waking up and fainting when they are confused. I probably knew in my heart that they were on the run, and all my dreams were the bloody slaughter of 50,000 soldiers.
He would never have thought that Fang Xiaoyu would come to Beiyan. Even if they come, they may not be found. So. When he heard Fang Xiaoyu's voice, he only thought that he had passed by the ghost gate and saw an illusion.
But the voice grew nearer and nearer, and seemed to ring in my ears. The emotion of the voice, and the coldness when mentioning the country of quicksand, are exactly the same as Fang Xiaoyu in memory.
Ye Xici was suddenly awakened by his own thoughts. The chaos in my head gradually dissipated, and then my whole mind cleared up a lot.
He blinked hard, then opened it again. I found that the face in front of me was not real at all, as if it could be touched by reaching out with my hand. He involuntarily raised his hand to touch the face, but unfortunately the range of the movement was too large and involved the wound. It hurt so much that he bared his teeth.
Fang Xiaoyu looked at Ye Xici, who was in a daze in front of him. felt that he was very funny like this, so he showed a wicked smile, and the whole person held on to her ear, 'Whew~' blew softly, and suddenly called Ye Xiqi a spirit as if he had been doused by an electric current, and suddenly tightened his shoulders.
"Laugh...... Language......? There was too much uncertainty in Ye Xici's tone, and the blankness in his eyes was really interesting.
"You called me?" Fang Xiaoyu suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and reached out to tidy up his messy hair. But he grabbed his wrist.
"Laughter?" Ye Xi sat up with a sigh of resignation, because the range of movement was too large. The wound was torn, and he grinned in pain, but his eyes were extremely bright, and he stared at Fang Xiaoyu like that, as if the qiฤ in front of him was so unbelievable.
"Lie down for me! You don't know how badly you're hurt? If the wound opens again, your life will probably be confessed in this dark stone cave! Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly pressed Ye Xici back to lie down. Ye Xici suddenly smiled stupidly, laughing like a child who had gotten a toy, which made the people in the cave almost drop their jaws in shock.
Not to mention the fact that the two of them showed affection, Ye Xici, the prince of King An, has only seen him smile for a long time in Beiyan, let alone such a happy and innocent smile.
Some people have silently begun to think about whether to go back to marry their daughters-in-law and children to enjoy the fun of this warmth, and some have become relatives and have begun to miss their wives and sons at home.
Ye Xici lay down again, and the military doctor immediately bandaged him with a clean cloth again. It's just that Ye Xici's hand firmly grasped Fang Xiaoyu's wrist and didn't let go, as if he was afraid that this was an illusion, and he would return to reality as soon as he let go, but the smile on his face was still a little distorted, and that was because the wound was too deep to hurt.
Fang Jianzhang has been sitting in the corner and watching the two silently, occasionally showing a knowing smile, but more of it is still lifeless.
There was no brilliance in his eyes, not like the high-spirited general in the past, or even like the scholar who was small but ambitious before he became a general.
Even when he learned that Prime Minister Mei, whom he treated as a benefactor, was not his benefactor but the culprit who almost killed him, he was only angry and sad, but he never despaired.
Fang Xiaoyu looked at Fang Jianzhang who looked like this, and the more he felt panicked in his heart.
She was angry that he was so depressed, but she felt the same way.
Fang Xiaoyu wanted to take Ye Xici's hand away, Ye Xici subconsciously grasped it tighter, but then he loosened it again, he seemed to have completely sobered up and saw the current situation clearly.
Fang Xiaoyu touched Ye Xici's forehead, it was no longer burning, and then smiled slightly: "I won't leave." โ
"Go ahead." Although Ye Xici has been in a coma these days, he also has sober moments, knowing that the annihilation of the 50,000-strong army, Fang Jianzhang, as a general, must be the most painful.
Fang Xiaoyu stood up and silently walked in front of Fang Jianzhang, regardless of whether his clothes would be stained with mud, he sat in front of Fang Jianzhang with such a heroic ass, staring at him.
Fang Jianzhang looked at Fang Xiaoyu in front of him and lost his mind for a moment. It seemed to be a sitting down action, but he saw the heroism of a man in the army.
In times of war, it is normal to lie in a certain place for a few days and not be able to move around at will. When there is no food, even rats and bugs are caught and eaten.
They are all hot-blooded men who have been on the battlefield together, eating meat, drinking a lot, and when they are marching and fighting, how can there be a stool or chair for you to sit on, everyone will sit on the ground and start talking and laughing.
He can be sure that his daughter has never been on the battlefield, but her actions are like an old fritter who has been on the battlefield for many years, without the slightest twist of his daughter's family, and even the stability of ordinary people, that kind of informal appearance, just like the soldiers he led, after a victory, sitting on the cold ground, setting up a fire, putting a pot, cooking a pot of broth, everyone sat together and drank and bragged. It will make him feel very missed.
"You don't have anything to say to me?" Fang Xiaoyu's expression couldn't see the joy and anger clearly. It was a real expressionlessness, not a single eye lift, not a single hook mouth, pure, expressionless staring at him. This made him subconsciously look away, and said hoarsely: "I didn't protect him well, but he was injured......
Naturally, he said Ye Xici. This is where he feels the most guilty in the face of Fang Xiaoyu.
"That's not what I want to hear." Fang Xiaoyu said in a calm tone, "He won't regret saving you." Because you're my dad. Because you are the Zhenyuan general of Beiyan, the god of war of Dacheng, and the hope of the people of Beiyan. If you think I'm resentful of you for hurting him, you're underestimating me and underestimating him. โ
Fang Jianzhang raised his head in a slight daze, seeing that Fang Xiaoyu's expression was serious with a little anger, he was a little dazed in his heart.
"Why don't you keep your head down? You are the god of war of Beiyan, the hero in our laughter, you should keep your head up and always look ahead, but why are you such a wolf bรจi now? Fang Xiaoyu spoke very slowly, as if this was not a question but an ordinary conversation.
Fang Jianzhang's head lowered more and more to his chest, and he said in a weak voice like a mosquito and fly: "I'm not a hero, I'm not a god of war, I'm just a sinner. โ
"What have you sinned? Massacre of civilians? Treason with the enemy? Bullying the king and rebelling? Which article and which paragraph of the Great Inheritance Criminal Law? Can you use the house to exterminate the family? Can you use the three tribes? Can you use the Nine Clans? You say it, and I will decide whether or not to live and die with you. Fang Xiaoyu was suffocated in his chest.
This time, his father's biggest mistake was that he mistakenly believed Mei Cangyun's old fox in the past, so that he left a bane. Besides, what else is it that is his fault that requires him to blame himself so much?
"You don't understand." Fang Jianzhang smiled bitterly, with tears in his eyes, and said, "The lives of 50,000 soldiers...... Alive, buried in my hands! How can you understand this sin! (To be continued.) )
