Chapter 117 - A Mess

Qin Zongheng ran away with the Great Qi Army, and Zhao Fan also slowly entered Luoyang City with the Shouwang Army.

Scar and Fu Qinghe at the head of the city were already tired and paralyzed, but they were still fighting their spirits, and their bodies stood upright, as if they were being reviewed.

When Zhao Fan found Joey covered in blood from the pile of corpses, he only felt a buzz in his head, and the whole person was frightened.

Seeing this, Scar on the side hurriedly said, "Lord, the princess is fine, she's just too tired." ”

Zhao Fan nodded and hugged Joey into his arms, and Joey's hand was still holding the cyan long sword, Zhao Fan originally wanted to take the sword down first, but after trying a few times without success, he had to give up.

Joey seemed to feel the temperature of Zhao Fan's body, frowned, and rubbed into Zhao Fan's arms.

Countless people from Luoyang City walked out of their homes to help the soldiers of the Shouwang Army clean up the battlefield.

Many people found their families in the pile of dead people, and suddenly lost control of their emotions, sat on the ground and began to cry.

The person next to him wanted to go over and comfort him, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only accompany him silently.

This war was both a victory and a defeat for the Shouwang army.

On the bright side, they defeated the ambitious Great Qi army, preserved the thousands of people in Luoyang City, and also preserved the foundation of the Shouwang army.

From another point of view, Shouwang suffered heavy losses in this battle, including the defenders in Luoyang City, and nearly seventy percent of them were killed in battle, which was the real elite of Shouwang's army, not a surrender or a new recruit.

The entire Luoyang City was destroyed in one fell swoop, even the city walls were smashed out of cracks, and they urgently needed to be repaired, and all the materials in the city were basically consumed.

Countless people have lost their loved ones, wives never see their husbands again, fathers never see their sons again, and children never see their fathers again.

Zhao Fan hugged Joey, who was dressed in blood, and walked down the city of Luoyang without saying a word, and his eyes were in a mess, with broken corpses all over the ground and rivers of blood.

Many soldiers of the Shouwang Army still maintained angry expressions until death, and some soldiers even at the moment of death, they still bit the enemy with their teeth, and they couldn't break it.

The corpse of a soldier of the Shou Wang Army was cleaned up and placed on the streets of Luoyang City, waiting for the family to claim it.

Zhao Fan suddenly understood that he had always been very passive and driven by this cruel world, waiting for others to slaughter.

These loyal soldiers, what mistakes did they make? They didn't do anything, they just chose to follow themselves, and now they are paying with their lives, all because they, as their manager, are not responsible enough for them!

"The prince doesn't have to blame himself, it is their glory that they can give their lives for the prince."

Scar followed Zhao Fan firmly, looking at his somewhat lost expression, this somewhat taciturn man suddenly took the initiative to comfort him.

Zhao Fan glanced at Scar in some surprise, smiled a little reluctantly, and said strongly, "By the way, what about the beard?" ”

"Lord Wang, the bearded man died in battle." Scar, who was comforting Zhao Fan a second ago, suddenly changed his expression, and said in a choked voice.

Zhao Fan looked at the man in front of him with a sad face, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, silently bearing all this with him.

He knew the friendship between Scar and Beard, which was a relationship closer than brothers, and there was absolutely no impurity, not to mention that Scar often scolded Beard on weekdays, but Bearded not only did not get angry, but enjoyed it.

For bearded people,

There was nothing to say all the way, and everyone returned to Ziwei Palace together, Qiao Xinchao and Wei Ruqian's people had been waiting at the gate of Ziwei Palace for a long time.

"Lord Wang!"

When Wei Ruqian saw Zhao Fan, she greeted her from afar, her face full of exhaustion, but her eyes were full of surprise.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with Sister Yi'er?" After seeing Joy in Zhao Fan's arms, Wei Ruqian's face couldn't help but change, and her worried expression was not omitted.

"Yi'er is fine, it's just exhausted and unconscious, let's go in and talk about it, I've suffered you during this time." Zhao Fan touched Wei Ruqian's head lovingly, and said with some distress.

Wei Ruqian's face turned red instantly, and she was a little overwhelmed to enjoy Zhao Fan's touching and killing, completely losing the appearance of a strong woman on weekdays.

Zhao Fan cautiously put Joey on the bed, and then he didn't have time to warm up with Wei Ruqian, so he came to the main hall with everyone to discuss the matter.

"Lord Wang!"

When everyone saw Zhao Fan come out, they all stood up and said hello, Fu Qinghe, Scar and others also took care of their wounds, changed into clean clothes, and sat down below to wait for Zhao Fan.

"Let me introduce it to you first, this is Master Kong Weikong, after the Sage Kong, this is Du Rangneng, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the descendant of Lord Du Ruhui." Zhao Fan pointed to Kong Du and the two of them, and introduced them in a different way.

"Hello Master Kong, hello Lord Du."

Scar and Fu Qinghe are okay, when the two of them were originally in the Praetorian Guard, they had seen all kinds of big names, even the emperor saw them all year round, not to mention the two ministers.

But Qiao Xinchao is different, when he looked at the two of them excitedly, the whole person trembled, you must know that these two people, one is after Kong Sheng, the other is after Ming Xiang, and he is an important minister of the court, that is in the hearts of all Confucian students, who is more sacred than the immortals, which is what a small person like him can touch on weekdays.

"Okay, Doctor Qiao, don't you smoke sheep crazy, is it necessary to be so excited?" Zhao Fan waited for Qiao Xinchao's glance with some amusement, and said softly.

"It's the minister's gaffe." Qiao Xinchao came back to his senses, knew that he was out of shape, and said with some embarrassment.

"The two bosses, this is Qiao Xinchao, my military advisor and think tank, these two are General Scar and General Fu, both of whom are from the original Praetorian Guard." Zhao Fan smiled a little reluctantly, and pointed to Qiao Xinchao and the others to continue to introduce.

"Look up for a long time!"

As soon as Zhao Fan's voice fell, everyone below immediately became familiar with each other, Qiao Xinchao admired Kong Du and the two of them incomparably, and he was also very polite when he spoke, Kong Du and the two of them were also human spirits, this newcomer, facing Zhao Fan's core team, would not put on any high shelves.

Zhao Fan saw that everyone in the audience got along well, and soon became familiar with each other, and he was very satisfied.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is something I want to tell you today."

Zhao Fan clapped his palms, and after attracting the attention of the audience, he said with some sadness.

"The emperor has died."

Toothache for a day, woo woo woo......
