CHAPTER 40

The sun is setting in the west, and dusk has arrived.

He Yu was seriously injured and unconscious, and his condition in Beiwangcheng was unknown, so two soldiers carried him back to the post station on the Baili Ancient Road for treatment.

With his surprise, there was hope in the hearts of the people, and they examined it more carefully than at first, but no matter how carefully they looked, they could not find another living person.

Everyone arranged the corpses in the valley one by one, neatly arranged according to their military positions and ranks, and Huang Yuhe counted them and reported: "County Lord, there are forty-three thousand and twenty people. โ€

Forty-three thousand and twenty people are all the Zhong family soldiers they brought out from Lin'an this time.

"Not a single enemy corpse?"

"Nope."

Zhong Zhiyu's gaze slowly swept over the soldiers lying on the ground, and he paused every time he looked at someone, as if he wanted to imprint their faces in his heart.

They were all simply cleaned, but even though the soldiers tried to give them dignity, many were still crippled. Some lost their arms like the king of Zhenbei, some lost their legs, some were cut off by the waist, and some were cut straight by the neck, and their heads were separated.

But the only thing they had in common was that all of them held firm in the valley until they died, and none of them fled, until the last man, who always had his back to the valley, and used his weak and strong life to resist the sharp blades of the enemy.

Zhong Zhuyu watched for a long time, and the soldiers also watched for a long time, seeing that the light of day was about to pass, Zhong Zhuyu slowly but firmly bent down and bowed deeply to the undead who were sleeping here forever.

"County Lord, it's getting dark."

Zhong Shuyu nodded, took the torch handed over by Huang Yuhe with a solemn face, and finally took a deep look at them, and threw the torch forward.

"Brothers, don't blame, there are so many people that it's inconvenient for me to take you away. But don't worry, after this fire, I, Zhong Zhuyu, will take you home. โ€

The flames soared into the sky, illuminating the dark night of the valley, and Zhong Zhuoyu's face flickered brightly and darkly.

"I'll take my father back to the Baili Ancient Road first, Huang Yuhe, you are guarding here, and I'll have someone send the jar over when the time comes."

Zhong Zhiyu picked up the corpse of the king of Zhenbei, avoided the hands of others who wanted to help, and walked towards the horse with one foot deep and one foot shallow: "By the way, Zhiyue, you go to Beiwang City to see the situation, if there is no abnormality, you will come back to the ancient road at dawn." It's not safe to travel at night. โ€

"Whoa."

Zheyue hugged her fists in response, looking at Zhong Zhuoyu's expressionless face with worried eyes, she was really relieved.

Twilight Cloud patted her on the shoulder, indicating that she was still guarding the county lord here, and seeing Zhong Zhiyu's urging eyes, he hurriedly picked up Qin Yizhong's body and got on another horse - Dayu has rules, Zhong Yongnian and Qin Yizhong are both official bodies, and they can't be buried easily.

Seeing that the two were ready to go on the road, Huang Yuhe hurriedly ordered two skilled soldiers to follow far behind to protect their safety.

Zhong Zhuoyu has walked this road three times in two days, and each time his mood is different.

The first time was to save Bei Chuan, with the imperative loneliness and bravery, full of spirit;

The second time was the return trip, and I was full of anxiety by He Yu's vague news, and I was like an arrow;

And this third time, Zhong Zhuyu didn't feel anything, she didn't even know where she was, let alone where she was going.

went to the Baili Ancient Road to settle Daddy and Uncle Qin, and then what? Where can I go?

In the first eighteen years of her life, no matter where she was, no matter what kind of situation, even if she encountered wind and rain, she had a confidence in her heart, and she knew that her father would prop up a roof on her head, so that she would not be beaten by the wind and rain.

But now, the eaves above her head are suddenly gone.

Zhong Shuyu suddenly felt so dazed, Dayu was so big, he didn't have a home.

She drove the horse in a daze, until she could see the Hundred Miles Ancient Road, and was woken up by Twilight.

"County Lord, I'm about to enter the Baili Ancient Road, there are many people in the Baili Ancient Road, and the prince is ...... like this."

Twilight didn't speak, knowing that the county lord understood what she meant.

Yes! Can't let Daddy be seen by them.

Zhong Zhiyu's eyes suddenly became clear, he hugged Zhong Yongnian tightly in his hand, and after a little thought, he called out to the two soldiers who were following them from a distance to step forward.

"I'm tired of the two of you going to the post station to report first, and the brothers who have called the letter come over, be sure to bring Daddy and Uncle Qin in without alarming others."

The two soldiers also knew the severity, and when they received the order, they took the first step, and in a few moments drove a carriage over.

"The county lord get in the car, this is the carriage of the caravan, there are several cars coming and going in a day, it will not be noticeable."

So Zhong Zhiyu nodded and took Zhong Yongnian and Qin Yizhong into the carriage.

The carriage did not ride a bumpy, Zhong Zhiyu's muscles that had been tense for a day suddenly relaxed, and the light was dim, and he was a little sleepy.

Zhong Zhuyu thought a little self-deprecatingly, it was really unfilial to think that he was still sleeping after his father died. But she didn't want this thought to be just flashed, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

ยท

When Zhong Shuyu woke up again, it was already dawn, and Twilight Cloud was in front of the bed, thinking that she was tired after watching her all night, and she waited for a long time to stare at the ceiling with her eyes open before she found that she had woken up.

"County Lord, you're awake!" Twilight wiped her face, her tone a little excited: "Why don't you call the slave when you wake up, the slave will bring you hot water, and white porridge, you must be hungry, but you can't eat greasy and difficult food after being hungry for a long time, drink some white porridge to cushion your stomach first......"

Thinking that it was really overjoyed, Twilight, who had always been not good at words, chattered like Chunhe: "You have passed out for two days, Zhiyue has already returned, knowing that you are in a coma, you refuse to go back, you have to talk about her later, you are not obedient at all......"

Two days in a coma?

Zhong Zhuyu's eyes had been staring blankly at the ceiling before turning to Twilight: "I've been in a coma for two days? โ€

"yes!"

"What about Beiwang City!?"

Zhong Zhiyu's reason came back to his senses, and he lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but was pressed back by Twilight.

"It's okay to look at Beiwangcheng, it's just ......"

Seeing that Twilight was swallowing, Zhong Zhiyu frowned and was very impatient: "Say something quickly." โ€

Twilight Cloud put away her joyful expression and muttered, "It's just that Mrs. Qin learned the news of General Qin's sacrifice that night...... Committed suicide. โ€

Xu is there too much news about the impact in the past few days, Zhong Zhiyu actually felt that she didn't feel anything when she heard the news, she only heard herself ask indifferently: "Then why did my father lead troops to Tongbei Valley to find out?" โ€

Twilight nodded and shook his head, and after a moment of deliberation, he said: "He Junshi hasn't woken up yet, he is very seriously injured, and now he is hanging with a breath of ginseng in his mouth, and the news that General Huang and Zhiyue asked in Beiwang City is ......"

"What is it?"

"On the night we came to Baili Ancient Road, Xirong's army called a battle under Beiwang City, and the prince brought a small team of soldiers to meet the enemy, and was led to Tongbei Valley, General Qin saw this, and quickly took the Zhong family army to Tongbei Valley to reinforce, but he didn't want to be in the city's Tuoba Forest, so he led the Xirong soldiers he brought, and the Xirong soldiers in the Tongbei Valley should be combined with the outside, and our Zhong family army made dumplings."

"Tuobalin?"

Zhong Zhuyu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect to hear this name.

"Yes." Twilight nodded and continued: "Later, He Junshi felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly took the rest of the logistics army to the valley, but he didn't want to fold it all there, and he only had one breath left......

"That's not right!"

After listening to Dusk Yun's words, Zhong Zhiyu immediately made a judgment: "It's definitely not like this, where did you hear about this?" โ€

Twilight Cloud was stunned by Zhong Zhiyu's categorical attitude, and replied, "The General's Mansion, including Chunhe, everyone said so. โ€

Zhong Zhiyu only felt that his head hurt badly, his eyes were dark, and he seemed to feel dizzy in his brain, so he forced himself to ask, "Is the news of Zhong Jiajun out?" โ€

"Nope." Seeing that she had a terrible headache, Duyun hurriedly helped her gently rub her temples: "Major General Huang blocked the news, saying that this matter cannot be known to others, and that the news must be sent back to Lin'an first, and see what the emperor says." โ€

Zhong Zhuyu's face turned slightly pale, closed his eyes and took a long breath: "It's okay, it's okay, fortunately, Huang Yuhe knows the severity." โ€
