Chapter 182: Departure
Xueli's face showed a painful look, full of disbelief.
"You lied to me, Du Zhong, and now even you lied to me." Xueli's tone made Du Zhong's heart numb at the moment.
He didn't know how Xueli found out, and even more, Xueli's tears really made him feel panicked.
"Princess, I," Du Zhong wanted to explain:
"I didn't."
But now in the snow, I can't listen to any explanation from him.
Caught off guard, Xueli's illness flared up again, and at this moment she was in a hurry, Du Zhong hurriedly wanted to go up to help Xueli and feed her medicine.
"Don't, don't come here." Xueli looked at Du Zhong's eyes, and finally was full of defense, first raised his hand tremblingly, and then took out the medicine bottle from his arms, even if he couldn't hold on, Xueli refused Du Zhong's help at this time and chose to take it himself.
Xueli's behavior really hurt Du Zhong's heart.
Finally, between him and Xueli, he still came to this scene that he didn't want to see the most.
Xue Li didn't have Du Zhong's help at the moment, and he really gasped for breath for a long time before he finally eased up a little.
Du Zhong wanted to help Yukiri again, but he couldn't reach out his hand.
Xueli didn't know who had the better martial arts between Du Zhong and Ren Qizhi, but now that Ren Qizhi disappeared, looking at Du Zhong's expression, he must have nothing to do with him.
Whether Ren Qizhi is dead or hidden somewhere by Du Zhong, Xueli doesn't know.
"You say, you say it completely." Xue Li spoke to Du Zhong at this moment, and finally straightened out his breath.
Du Zhong's eyes were full of sadness, how should he explain to Xueli, because of the jealousy and uneasiness in his heart, he personally pushed the marshal of Da Yu off the cliff, he didn't have an explanation.
Kneeling down in front of the snow, Du Zhong kowtowed three times.
"The crimes of his subordinates deserve death!" Du Zhong's words undoubtedly confirmed the worst guess in Xueli's heart at this moment.
It seems that Ren Qizhi is dead, really dead.
Yukiri raised his hand and pointed at Du Zhong, trembling a little.
"You, what are you talking about..."Yukiri rushed in front of Du Zhong in disbelief.
She grabbed him by the collar with her own hands:
"What have you done to Marshal Bully, say, you say."
It turned out that Ren Qizhi's heart in the snow was so important, and Du Zhong suddenly felt that he had been with the snow for so many years, and it was a little worthless.
At the same time, his heart is also dripping blood.
Did he do something wrong, maybe he didn't.
But here in the snow, he really deserves to die at this moment, and he doesn't have any face to see the snow again.
"Please, princess." Du Zhong had no desire to struggle at the moment, and he only said these words after thinking about it for a long time.
Xueli also knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
Maybe when there is a conflict between Du Zhong and Ren Qizhi, she should have adjusted, instead of selectively avoiding it, and let this happen again and again, and finally, when it comes to life and death between the two, it is too late for Xue Li to do something.
"It's late, it's late..."In the snow that had just cried yesterday, I couldn't even squeeze out tears at this time, but the whole person's demeanor and actions were full of emptiness.
Xueli doesn't know what she did wrong, which led to this fate.
What makes Du Zhong even more heartbroken is that at this moment, Xueli is not sad at all because Da You has one less marshal, but because there is no Ren Qizhi in Xueli.
It turns out that between them, he has always been a superfluous person.
Du Zhong felt that his behavior all along was crossing the line.
Because he is Xueli's confidant, he interferes in everything in Xueli's life, and those in the past are just that, but Ren Qizhi is an exception, and he personally ruined this Xueli exception.
He had sworn that he would always be pious to Yukiri, but he had already unknowingly violated Yukiri's wishes.
It's that he doesn't deserve it.
"Please, princess." Seeing that Xueli finally let go of his collar and sat on the ground in despair, Du Zhong kowtowed to Xueli again, and in his tone, there was a kind of firmness that could never be turned back.
"Get out." Yukiri didn't even give him a look when he heard this.
"Princess?" Du Zhong raised his head and asked Xueli.
"Get out!" Xueli may really be too disappointed with him at the moment, and he doesn't even have any sense of closeness, even what he says is alienated.
At this time, Du Zhong would rather scold himself happily in the snow than now, and he didn't care about himself.
But at this moment, Du Zhong couldn't make Xue Li unhappy, after all, after a long silence, Du Zhong still slowly got up and walked out.
No one knows what happened to the snow alone in the tent that day.
Du Zhong didn't dare to deliver the meal by himself, for fear of causing the snow to be unhappy again, and the food sent by others was brought out again without moving in the snow.
The army is busy setting up camp at the moment, and he doesn't dare to guess too much, and he hides everything in his heart about things in the snow.
As a result, the departure schedule was delayed by another day.
It was only the next day, when the morning light was faint, that Xueli finally came out of the tent.
"Princess..."Du Zhong felt like a sinner and did not dare to speak.
But unexpectedly, Yukiri smiled at Du Zhong, and never mentioned anything about Ren Qizhi again.
"You go and find Vice General Zhao." It seems that the tone of the previous speech, between the two, there seems to be no barrier again.
Du Zhong didn't react for a while.
"Huh?" Although Yukiri's tone was raised, she obviously didn't look angry, as if she was still the same as she had done to Du Zhong before.
"Subordinates go immediately." Du Zhong's heart was full of joy, thinking that Princess Xueli had figured it out, a prince of another country who he met halfway, even if he became the marshal of Dayou, but in Xueli's heart, he was still not as good as his confidant.
There was no life in the snow, and Du Zhong's footsteps were cheerful.
Soon, the unknown Vice General Zhao was brought to Xueli.
"Princess Ben announced that from today onwards, you will be the marshal of Dayou's trip, and next, you will be fully responsible for the affairs of the army, do you know?"
Yukiri took out the token that symbolized the prince and said to him.
The sudden promotion came unexpectedly, and Vice President Zhao was hit in the head by Princess Xueli's appreciation.
"Still not grateful?" Du Zhong reminded Vice General Zhao.
"Yes, yes." Vice General Zhao hurriedly responded:
"My subordinates thank Princess Xueli for their appreciation, and my subordinates have made proper arrangements among the generals, waiting for the princess to review."
The movements of the past few days have let everyone know that the news that Xueli is about to go to Qianyang, they all thought that they were just going to talk about peace, but no one knew that Xueli was about to marry Nanzhou.
Therefore, Xueli's words, to this day, are still the legal code they believe in, and they still treat Xueli as a prince.
After explaining this matter, after Vice General Zhao left, Xueli handed over a letter he had written to Du Zhong:
"Go, and at the same time the people of the city will be with me, and I will be with them tomorrow."
"Yes." Du Zhong still didn't dare to ask in his heart, whether he could go with him, maybe about Xueli's body, yesterday still made him a little afraid.
"You will go with me." Did you really forget it all after a day in the snow?
When Du Zhong heard Xueli's words, he suddenly raised his head:
"Really?"
"I lied to you?" Xueli squinted his eyes, deceiving this word, which made Du Zhong's heart hurt suddenly, yes, Xueli didn't deceive himself, but he deceived Xueli.
"My subordinates will do it immediately." Du Zhong didn't dare to say too much, so he hurriedly retired at this time.
"Hmm." Supporting his eyebrows in the snow, it was obvious that he didn't have a good rest yesterday, and in the snow at this moment, he was tired.
Speaking of not having a good rest in the snow, why? Du Zhong was full of weakness and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Du Zhong stood at the gate of the city.
"I am the messenger of the princess in the snow, and I also ask Nanzhou to open the door." Du Zhong's words attracted the attention of Ren Chenlin on the city wall, and he naturally recognized who Du Zhong was, so he nodded towards General Sui at this moment.
The city gate opened, and after Du Zhong was ushered in, it was General Sui who was seen.
"This general is the marshal of Nanzhou, and the envoy can explain everything to me." Looking at the appearance of the righteous Ling Ran faction with the general, Du Zhong did not dare to slack off.
After all, he had heard of the prestige of General Sui, if he changed others, Du Zhong was only afraid that he would feel that Ren Chenlin was putting on a score, but in front of General Sui, he still didn't dare to make a mistake after all.
"This is a letter from the princess of our country, and tomorrow the princess will arrive in Saicheng and walk with the general." Du Zhong's words were polite, and General Sui accepted the letter calmly.
"In this case, tomorrow the city will be filled with a welcome princess in the snow."
In the past few days, not only the Da You side is preparing, but even General Sui and Ren Chenlin are also preparing to return.
Now that the war has ended, the next thing will happen in Thousand Sunshine City, and they will naturally not stay on the border.
However, in order to prevent the Great Ghost from cheating, some soldiers were still stationed in this fortress.
As for the rest, there is no hurry to leave.
Those who want to leave tomorrow are still with the general and Ren Chenlin, and the rest of the people will be handed over to the deputy generals to slowly lead back.
The edict from Xueli to Qianyang City has been sent to the emperor urgently, and I think that by the end of the next year, this matter can also be negotiated.
After Du Zhong left, Ren Chenlin slowly walked out of the shadows.
"This confidant of Princess Xueli, it looks like Princess Xueli is not all the way." Speaking of which, if it weren't for Princess Xueli being an opponent, otherwise, General Sui would still have some admiration for Princess Xueli, and she was really a heroine among women.
But when he met Du Zhong recently, the feeling that Du Zhong revealed all over his body made General Sui not so happy.
Regarding Ren Qizhi's matter, Nanzhou didn't know at this time.
"That's true." Ren Chenlin thought of the fight between Du Zhong and Ren Qizhi, so he responded to General Sui's words.
"Forget it, get ready." After running around with the general for so long, I am also a little tired, and there are too many things that have happened in Nanzhou this year.
When the princess of the snow appeared in front of the gate of the city with people.
Ren Chenlin was a little surprised, Princess Xueli only brought four people.
In addition to Du Zhong, the other three people looked at it, and they were all elite.
But is it really enough for these four people to protect?
Besides, Princess Xueli didn't even bring a maid, and if there was any emergency, I was afraid that there would not be enough manpower.
"The princess is really bold." The general looked around and said to the snow.
"Princess Ben naturally believes in Nanzhou's sincerity." Du Zhong also persuaded Xueli, but he still couldn't do it, so he had to make up his mind to protect Xueli closely.
"In that case, let us go." Ren Chenlin finally made a final decision, and also cut the number of people who followed them in Nanzhou by half, and merged them into a team, which looked really low-key and abnormal.
Who would know that the big characters of Nanzhou and Dayou walked on the road, and they were almost impossible to see.
