26 CHAPTER XXII
Everything became noisy and chaotic, a bright yellow figure stood at the head of the ruined city wall, the wind blew, as if it could blow him down, the voice around him suddenly disappeared, obviously the distance was very far away, but I seemed to see him laughing, he laughed so happily, his lips moved, I don't know what to say, and then, without hesitation, he took off the outer clothes, and inside was a white single coat, pale and hollow, which made him thinner and thinner, and then he looked in my direction, and my eyes widened to see more clearly.
He laughed again, muttering something to me, and with all my might, I couldn't tell what he was saying, so I could only keep saying his name.
At this moment, it seemed to be still, everyone maintained their original posture, only he jumped off the city wall without hesitation, and the white clothes spread out like a roc spreading its wings, but he was not soaring, but ...... Fall.
He fell to the ground hard, blood slowly flowing down his forehead, into his eyes that were still not closed, he was like a bird with broken wings, abandoned by his kind, and could only die in this dirty and bloody place, in a miserable death, with a blur of flesh and blood......
With a bang, I woke up from my dream and realized that I was dreaming again.
I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead, looked towards the place where the voice came from, and met Xin Sheng's anxious face, as well as the back of Jiuyuan's dust, I stood up against the trunk of the tree, very puzzled by the situation in front of me: "What happened? ”
Xin Sheng stepped forward and bowed his hand: "Madam, Lord Wang...... He's gone. ”
"Gone?" I didn't seem to be able to understand the meaning of this sentence, so Xin Sheng had to explain: "The prince just left a sentence for his wife, saying...... Two months later, the wind frightened goodbye. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, and Xin Sheng asked, "Do you want to send someone to chase ......?"
I waved, "No. "Jiuyuan must have something important to do when he leaves at this time, not to mention that we have safely entered the territory of Dongxu, and he doesn't have to worry about my safety anymore, it's just ...... We traveled thousands of miles to Yiyu, but we still couldn't save his country, his relatives, my friends.
My nose was sore, almost tears, I clenched my fists, my fingernails dug into the flesh, I couldn't cry, this rescue was in vain, Chiyang had already occupied Yiyu, if we didn't evacuate quickly, I was afraid that we would have been dumpled by the belated Chiyang army.
Now Jun Qianchen is still in the wind and life and death are uncertain, I must rush back non-stop, I just entered the territory of Dongxu, I heard the news of the official alliance between Chiyang and Yixuan, Xuanyuan Lingxiao's prestige has shocked the world, I have not seen him on the battlefield, yes, he is the commander of the army, naturally he will not act as a striker to fight against me, but I have seen the power of the Yunxiao envoy, obviously exhausted, like us are thousands of miles away, they are also facing continuous battles, but Yaoli's chaotic battle, But they are on a par with our 50,000 cavalry.
Jiuyuan insisted until the city was broken, and then he made a quick decision to let us evacuate quickly, and thanks to his decisiveness, we passed by the Chiyang army, Xiaobai's body has been properly placed by Meng Ruyi's people, although Yiyu is dead, he still has to follow the ancient rites, bury him in the imperial mausoleum, and his queen...... Su Yihan together.
I don't know why, in the blink of an eye, the world suddenly changed, the original living people, but disappeared in front of my eyes, their voices and smiles are like in front of me, but I know that in this life our fate is over, until the moment I close my eyes, we will never see each other again.
The simple boy he met by chance in the inn, he had no scheming and defenselessness against the world, he never sought power, fame and fortune, he was like an animal lost in the forest, when he was still at a loss, he didn't know that he had already become a thorn in the side of the beasts, a meal on the plate.
If there is really an afterlife, I want him to be a happy teenager, do what he likes, go where he wants to go, have the freedom that everyone envies and yearn for, and a good girl who accompanies him and likes him.
Restarting on the road, Xin Sheng hurried to my side and asked, "Madam, one more day is Wuyang City, do you want to go into the city to rest?" ”
Wuyang City ...... My heart shrank slightly, remembering that chance encounter...... I was originally like an arrow, but I still nodded: "Let's go to the city for a day, I'...... Go and worship a friend. ”
Xin Sheng didn't ask much, nodded yes, and went down to make arrangements.
At the foot of the Jade Dragon Mountain, the house that Xiaobai in Yongxiang has never lived in, I want to go and take a look for him, the little girl who guards the house for him, I want to go and tell her, the owner of the house, will never come again.
When I arrived at Wuyang City on the second day, because Xin Sheng had already sent someone to inform him, the city gate was wide open, and although the cavalry team had suffered a lot of losses, there were still 20,000 or 30,000 people in the full battle, so I could only stay outside the city to rest, but fortunately, other things had been arranged, so I took Xin Sheng and dozens of elite soldiers into the city together.
Bo Hongwen, the city guard of Wuyang City, led everyone to greet me, I had actually seen him a long time ago, but he had never seen me like this, and when he saw me, he saluted very respectfully: "The lower officials participate in the crown princess, the crown princess has worked hard." ”
The news that Jun Qianchen was in a coma has been secretly blocked by us, and only I led 50,000 soldiers to join King Kun to enter the customs to save Yi, because the battle of Yaoli has been rumored, and the whole world knows it, some people give me a thumbs up and praise me as a heroine, and some people secretly mutter, I don't know why Jun Qianchen will send one of my daughter's family to the front line to fight.
For a while, there were different opinions, but Bo Hongwen still respected me, maybe it had something to do with the fact that he was a military general, and he not only didn't care about my bold behavior of daring to go to the battlefield with third-rate martial arts, but admired it very much, and personally integrated me into his mansion, and offered me delicious wine and food.
But what I was most anxious about was to take a hot bath, these days, at first, I still felt itchy and unbearable, gradually, after knowing that it was impossible to take a bath in peace, I simply forgot about it, and now in such a peaceful and prosperous town, the thought of taking a bath has been hovering in my mind, even the delicacies cannot shake its status in the slightest.
Bo Hongwen's wife was very considerate of my situation, and immediately asked someone to prepare hot water, and specially called two beautiful and polite maids to serve me to change clothes, I myself was very disgusted with the stench on my body, and did not want to leave any notoriety of the princess's body odor in the people, so I sent the two maids out, took off my dirty clothes, and impatiently jumped into the pool full of petals.
The moment I jumped into the pool, I didn't moan comfortably as I imagined, but I "tsk" in pain, I had countless wounds on my body, originally just hastily bandaged, or the wound was too small, I didn't pay attention to it at all, now the hot water is so soaked, the heat is so smoked, the pain immediately awakens, I only feel that the wound is hot and painful, but I always have to go through such a period, I can only grit my teeth, hold back, think of the dead souls on the battlefield, think of those bloody corpses, The thought of the young soldiers who died fighting to protect my safety made my heart grow cold and hard.
I don't know where Jiuyuan is now, but I know that he must be like a little beast quietly licking his wounds in a place where no one is around, and I later learned that he didn't want to heal the wounds in his heart, because he felt that he didn't have the power to heal them at all.
I soaked in the water for a long time, until my skin was wrinkled and my face was red from the steam, and then I gradually got up and began to clean my body little by little, my nails were full of mud, I lowered my head and picked at it very seriously, and rubbed every inch of my skin from the toes to clean it.
The wounds on my body were soaked in hot water, they all turned pink red, some places had stammered, they were lying on my snow-white body, very terrible, I hadn't seen my body for a long time, I suddenly found that some places had been so thin that I touched it, it was all bones, I stood up straight, and the ribs on my chest bulged one by one, which was very obvious.
Bao Ruo should cry when he sees his mother become like this.
Thinking of Bao's soft and glutinous little face, I suddenly felt hungry, and finally cleaned it again, until I was sure that my body was clean and there was no trace of dirt, and then I walked out of the pool, feeling a lot more relaxed all over my body, as if I had taken off a sloppy dress.
Mrs. Bo prepared for me a lot of silk and satin, all of which were bright and beautiful, and I frowned, and chose a most elegant white dress from it, embroidered with delicate and upright bamboo, and I loved it at first sight, and when I had worn it, I took a dry cloth and dried my hair, and when everything was dressed, I opened the door and called the two maidservants in.
They were very frightened, obeyed my instructions, and put a simple and dignified bun for me, and I randomly chose a gold-plated hairpin in the jewelry box and inserted it into my hair, because it was cold outside, and they brought me a white fox fur to put on, but in one day, if yesterday I was living in hell, then today, I have obviously entered heaven.
"Crown Princess Qi, my wife has prepared a dinner party, just waiting for the crown princess."
I nodded, and they led the way into the hall, where there sat a few dignified ladies, who hurriedly got up and saluted when they saw me, and I nodded lightly and said, "No courtesy." They then stood up straight, and when I was seated, they sat down, and Mrs. Bo introduced me to a circle, which was nothing more than the main lady of the other officials in Wuyang City, and after nodding to them, I began to eat quietly.
God knows how hungry I am now, and I think if there was a cow in front of me, I could eat it all without changing my face.
