Chapter Eighty-Five: He's Back
It's almost dawn.
It's already the tenth day.
The prince didn't have dinner, and when he came into the study, he sat at his desk, motionless and unresponsive.
Xiao Jizi, the personal eunuch, was anxious, came in and took a look, and had the courage to scream a few times but didn't respond, so he could only sigh and retreat silently.
After another half an hour, Xiao Jizi walked in, and the prince still maintained that posture.
Xiao Jizi put a bowl of hot soup on the desk, and the prince reacted, but he didn't even look at the hot soup, and only asked in a dumb voice, "What time is it?" ”
"It's the fourth watch."
The prince closed his eyes and waved his hand weakly.
Xiao Jizi sighed in his heart, knowing that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only retreat.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
In less than a moment, Xiao Jizi's excited voice came from outside.
The prince suddenly came back to his senses, stood up with a bang, and his heart suddenly lifted, "What's the matter?!" ”
Xiao Jizi pushed the door in, so excited that he forgot to salute, only cried with joy, choked up and shouted, "Your Highness! News from the soldiers defending the city! General Chang'an has arrived at the city gate! ”
It's back!
Lie Chang'an is back!
He really came back alive!
The prince couldn't believe it was true for a while, he was so excited that he didn't know what to do, he was completely incoherent, and it took a long time before he shouted excitedly at Xiao Jizi, "Quick! Fast! Hurry up and send someone to tell the news to my father, mother and grandmother, and say that General Chang'an is back! The princess is saved! ”
"Yes! Be! ”
Xiao Jizi was busy running out, so excited that he was in tears.
Oh my God, it's finally coming through.
General Chang'an is really a 'living bodhisattva' who saves the world and saves the people. ’
The crown prince, who learned the news, couldn't wait for a moment, he directly led people to the gate of the palace to greet Lie Chang'an.
He stood at the gate of the palace and paced back and forth, looking up at the city gate avenue from time to time, anxious and eager to pierce it.
Not long after, there was a clattering sound of horses' hooves not far away.
The prince raised his head suddenly, and sure enough, in the middle of the avenue where the thick fog gradually dissipated, the tall figure on horseback became clearer and clearer, just like the night stars before dawn, rushing towards them with hope without hesitation.
The prince's nose was sour, and he had the urge to cry.
But when the steed stopped in front of him, the figure on horseback could no longer hold on to the fall, and when he saw the person lying on the ground, his eyes were really moist.
Where can the people on the ground still see that it is Lie Chang'an.
The beard is unkempt, and his face is similar to that of his hometown lying unconscious on the bed, pale as paper, his mouth is chapped, his cheeks are sunken, he is thin, and he is like a ghost.
As for the clothes on his body, they could no longer be seen in their original color, they were all stained red with blood, some had dried up and turned dark red, and some were still moist and becoming more and more bright red.
He fell to the ground, lifted his eyelids with great effort, and then raised his hand to pull out the 'Ten Blood Flowers' tightly wrapped in a handkerchief from the placket of his chest.
In fact, the prince didn't even recognize it as a handkerchief, because it was full of blood, and he couldn't tell what it was.
Lie Changan raised his hand and handed it over tremblingly, trying to hold his breath, hoarse in his throat, "Your Highness, I'm ...... I brought it back alive...... I can save her......"
After saying this, he fell down again with a thud, unconscious.
The prince clutched the blood-stained handkerchief tightly, feeling the hot heat burn his heart.
He turned his head suddenly, and shouted at the people behind him with red eyes, "What are you doing in a daze!" Save people! ”
