Chapter 333: The Difficulty of Jiangdu (10)
"Si'er is dead, I want to find her child!" I picked up the bowl on the floor, gulped down the bowl of porridge, and struggled to get up.
"What are you going to do!" Wu Feng hurriedly pressed me, "Si'er's child Zhao Wuxian has already asked Zhang Mengtan to look for it, and Gong Shixi has also entered the city." Look at yourself, are you still human? You've just given birth, and the injuries you suffered last night are enough for you to suffer for the rest of your life. Who taught you to die like this, am I? β
"I'm already sorry for Si'er, I can't let her child have any more mistakes."
"I know, and so does Zhao Wuxian. So, leave it to us, hand it over to Zhang Mengtan and Gong Shixi, they all know it. β
"......"
"It's not just you who are worried, Gong Shixi also watched Si'er grow up."
I punched my numb leg hard, Wu Feng sighed and handed me a small pot with square ears: "Let's drink the medicine first!" β
"My master, him?" These two days and two nights have been so crazy that I have no time to care about everyone's life and death.
"Taishi is a little injured, but it's fine."
"That's good." I looked up and poured a pot of bitter and sour medicine into my stomach, and the wound where the juice soaked into the corner of my mouth was shivering with pain. Wu Feng couldn't find the veil, so he simply tore off his half-moon white sleeve and handed it to me.
"General, why are you here?" I asked with a shudder as I pressed the corners of my mouth.
"A few months ago, Wuxian came to Qin to look for you. He is the son of the lord of Xianyu, and he heard earlier that the Marquis of Qi was going to gather the princes in the Liqiu Huimeng to attack the Jin State, so he wanted to come to the Qin State to tell you. But you were no longer in the Qin Palace at that time, and he came to the General's Mansion to look for me again. I was worried that something would happen to you, so I went to the monarch and asked him to send me to the Jin Kingdom to pick you up in the name of condolence for Zhao Ying. But Wuxian and I didn't see you when we arrived in the Jin Kingdom, but we saw the seriously injured Zhao Wuxian at the funeral. Zhang Mengtan, Zhao Wuxian's advisor, found me privately, and he told me about the Qi people's conspiracy and asked me to transfer troops to Gaowolf and Caidi for Zhao. β
"Please transfer troops?! The general is a Qin general. β
"That's why I see that the Zhao family is in great danger. Before the monarch succeeded to the throne, he had an alliance with the Zhao clan of the Jin Kingdom, and in the Yongcheng War in the past, the Zhao clan also gave a helping hand, so I naturally can't see death without help. I rushed to Gao Wolf with Zhao's tokens, Zhang Mengtan left Jiang and went to Caidi, and Wuxian went to Jinyang because of his acquaintance with Jinyang City Yin. β
"Innocence is here too?!"
"The soldiers of Gao Wolf and Cai Di all arrived last night, but the soldiers of Jinyang were not seen."
"What does that mean?" I'm drenched in cold water.
"Xianyu's people have been looking for him, and he was delayed when he met them again on the way to Jinyang. You don't have to worry, the Lord of Xianyu just wants to bring him back, and he will be fine. The people of Jinyang may arrive in two days. β
If Zhang Mengtan hadn't seen Asu's secret letter, if Wuxian hadn't gone to Qin to find me, if Wu Feng hadn't rushed to Xinjiang, if ...... "If you hadn't helped, the Zhao family would have died this time." "When I think about what happened behind the scenes, I can't help but be afraid.
"No, you're wrong, the Zhao family has Zhao Wuxian, and he can't die." Wu Feng turned his head with me to look at the huge black city in the southeast. Escorting the Marquis of Jin back to the palace, what a simple sentence, but I know that at this moment in the palace city, Wuxian must be fighting to the death in another war without gunpowder.
The bonfire gradually died down, and a faint blue morning light appeared on the black-purple sky in the east, and the dew that had accumulated overnight steamed up a vast mist in the wilderness.
In the distance, a galloping carriage looms in the mist. I grabbed Wu Feng's hand and stood up. Men whipped their horses and galloped towards us. The horses broke through the thick fog, and the tall Gongshi Xi yanyaned the reins and stopped the cart three feet away.
"What about people?" I didn't see Dong Shi, so I asked anxiously.
Gong Shixi did not answer, and reflexively picked up a roll of straw mats from the carriage.
"You wait for me here first." Wu Feng let go of my hand and strode towards Gong Shixi. But I couldn't wait, I stared at the straw mat in Gong Shixi's hand, dragging my barely conscious legs forward step by step.
Gong Shixi was talking to Wu Feng, and when he saw me coming forward, he looked embarrassed.
"Don't worry, the child Zhang Mengtan is still looking for it." Wu Feng turned around and supported me.
"Who's in that straw mat?" I stared at the yellow, half-worn reed mat in Gongshixi's arms.
"Yes...... Four. Gong Shixi said darkly.
ββ¦β¦ Let me see her. I stiffened my hand. Wu Feng intercepted my hand and said, "Don't look at it, just remember what she used to look like." β
I looked up into Wu Feng's eyes, and Wu Feng held my hand tighter: "Listen to me, don't look at it." Si'er definitely doesn't want you to see her now. β
"General?" Gong Shixi placed the reed mat carrying the corpse of Si'er on a clean green grass, and turned around and took a copper shovel from the carriage.
Wu Feng glanced at me deeply, turned his head to the side and said to Gong Shixi: "Go, bury it higher, Fenshui is prone to waterlogging in July, don't drown her." β
"Yui." Gong Shixi's eyes were red, and he turned and went up the dirt slope on the shore.
"Si'er is here, where is her husband?" I looked at Gong Shixi's back and said.
Gong Shixi's footsteps froze when he heard my voice, he turned around and glanced at me and Wu Feng, and said, "I'm late, Jin Qing Zhiyao entered the city last night and chopped his body into minced meat for the Marquis of Jin." β
"Ah Shi......" Wu Feng looked at me worriedly, I forcefully pulled my hand out of his palm, turned around and walked towards the river.
"Childβ"
"Don't come along!" I walked forward with a weak step, but I didn't know why I was going. The open field was filled with mist, and the wind of the river that lasted all night blew the thatch all over the field into undulating waves. Wave after wave, I gazed at the fields where the weeds were surging, but there was snow falling from the sky, covering the sky and blowing one after another. It was the snow of Yongcheng, and in the snow was a gentle young man running all the way with a long sword in his hand.
Minced meat, a kettle of minced meat.
If he knows, if the four sons know......
"Ah Shi, do you want to bury this together?" Gong Shixi walked up to me and handed me a red lacquered wooden box, "This is found in the bed of the four girls, she likes to hide all good things in the bed when she is young." β
I took the wooden box with both hands, gently opened the lid of the box, and removed a red silk covering the surface of the box. When I was young, I promised her to give her the most beautiful wedding dress in the world, but before the wedding dress was completed, she was already married. And I was so lazy and untrustworthy, and half of my wedding dress was taken out with a shy face to give it to her. She never disliked me, she never disliked me...... What good am I to deserve her to follow me like this, protect me, and kill her own heart for me......
"Xiao'er, don't hold it back like this, you can say something." Wu Feng looked at me worriedly.
"Let's go." I walked up the dirt slope with the wooden box, and Gong Shixi picked up Si'er's body and followed.
The grave pit on the slope was not dug deeply, and the soil on the bank of the river was so deep that it was afraid of seeing water.
Gong Shixi put the straw mat wrapped in Si'er into the dirt pit, and bent down to pick up the copper shovel on the side.
Wu Feng nodded at him, and a shovel of loess fell on Si'er.
The suffocating pain rushed to my heart from all corners of my body, tears welled up like a fountain, Wu Feng grabbed my shoulder, and I jumped into the dirt pit with a wooden box on one side.
"Ahh
"Si'er......" I lay down next to Si'er on my side, and hugged her tightly with a straw mat, "You're scared now, aren't you?" Wouldn't that be better? β¦β¦ I know that he is here, you must not be willing to go back to Qin State, don't worry, Zhi Yao is just using him to scare the Marquis of Jin, I will ask Ah Yang to steal him out of his flesh and bones, you wait patiently here...... Si'er, we seem to have seen the moon many times together, but we have never seen the sunrise together, today's sun is about to come out, you see...... "I lay in the cold and damp loess and looked up at the sky, the crimson morning glow stained the sky, the gaps in the morning glow revealed a golden light, the beauty-loving lark rushed to the sky, fluttering his carmine wings under the glow, the faint red, the faint pink was the color of our dreams when we were young......
"Ah Shi!" Someone jumped into the grave and picked me up, his eyebrows were frowned, and the red clouds on the tips of his eyebrows were as red as flames: "General Wu, she is crazy, are you going crazy with her!" β
"You let go of me!" I struggled and screamed, but he ignored me and jumped out of the tomb with me in his arms and strode down the dirt slope.
"Si'er-Zhao Wuxian!"
"Si'er is dead, she's no longer here!"
Gong Shixi picked up a copper shovel and shoveled into the grave to fill the grave, I screamed and jumped off Wuxian, who hugged my waist with one hand and clamped my chin with the other, forcing me to turn my face: "Look at me, you look at me!" Si'er is dead, Dong Shu is dead, and your father is dead, but you are still alive. β
"I'd rather I'd die!"
Shirtless stared at me with red eyes, and I burst into tears, and he lowered his head and kissed me. I struggled angrily, he opened his arms and hugged me tighter, he could not refuse, he seemed to fill all the broken places in my heart with his breath. I gave up struggling, he looked up, choked and pressed my face into the shoulder socket: "Thank you, still alive......"
I groaned bitterly, and he buried my tearful face in his chest.
My fourth son is dead, and her grave is a small dirt bag. Yu An was a traitor, so only her own name was written on the wooden plaque in front of the grave. Zhi Yao ordered the whole city to search for Dong Shi, but no one found him until he left the city. There is a secret room in the Dong Mansion, and the people who know where the secret room is located are already dead. If Dong Shi is really in the secret room, I only hope that he can hold on for a few more days until Wuxian finds him and takes him out of the city safely.
