Chapter 125: The Repentant Prince

He Mengxi glanced at Ji Fan, and was surprised in his heart, Ji Fan was still sick, and it was too dangerous to come out to meet the enemy at this time.

While holding Si Ming, she shouted to Ji Fan: "Senior brother, come back!" ”

Li Qian rushed out of the camp with a team of men and horses to rescue, and escorted He Mengxi and Si Ming to retreat to the camp of the righteous army.

Carrying the injured Si Ming to the camp tent, the military doctor came to check the injury, Si Ming was already unconscious, an arrow passed through the gap in the armor, and was inserted in his lower back, the wound was black and poisonous.

After a while, Ji Fan retreated, Li Qian arranged a formation in front of the battalion, resisted Chen Guobing's attack, and soon, it was dark, the cold wind hunted, Chen Guobing couldn't resist the cold, and finally retreated.

Ji Fan fought in his illness, desperately facing Xiaoqi, and finally the wound was torn, and he must continue to recuperate.

Taking stock of this battle, the righteous army suffered heavy casualties, the general was damaged, and had no choice but to retreat fifty miles, using Qishan as a barrier, and retreating to camp.

Chen Guo won a great victory, and his morale increased greatly, Chen Jingyi issued an order, named Xiaoqi as the king of Qi, and ordered to pursue the enemy as soon as possible.

Chen Guobing crossed the Qi River, menacing, and had the potential to annihilate the righteous army in one fell swoop.

The news of Si Ming's serious injury reached Shu, and the emperor of Shu, Si Chong, was shocked, Si Ming went to help Chen Guoyi's army in secret, and it was also under his bitter pleading that Si Chong agreed to make his trip.

Now that he is seriously injured, this news is only known to Si Chong and a few people.

When Ling Zixu got the news, several days had passed, and he immediately asked for an audience, and at night, Si Chongcai summoned him, and the secret conversation lasted for two hours, and Ling Zixu did not leave the palace until late at night.

What they talked about, no one knows, but the next morning, Ling Zixu set off with two thousand cavalry, followed by twenty thousand infantry led by Feng Cheng and Wei Feng.

He Mengxi passed the news of Si Ming's injury to Shu Kingdom, thinking that they should take Si Ming away as soon as possible.

There is a shortage of doctors and medicines in the camp of the righteous army, Si Ming's injury is serious, and he will not get better for a while, although the wound has been cleaned up and the toxic attack has been curbed, but Si Ming's lower body can not move, and the doctor in the army said that it is difficult to recover for a year and a half, and it is still a question whether he can walk on the ground in the future.

He Mengxi was anxious, she was thinking about how Si Ming would explain to Emperor Shu like this.

Fortunately, it was another heavy snowfall, the frozen river closed the mountains, and the snow was covered, such weather, no matter which side it was, was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and for the rebels, it was a rare opportunity to recuperate.

He Mengxi came to Si Ming's camp to recuperate when it was dark, and after a busy day, studying the military situation, discussing the war, in order to prevent Chen Guobing's sneak attack, he set up a large defensive array ten miles in front of the camp.

After everything was arranged, it was late afternoon, the sky was still overcast, and although the snow had stopped for two days, it was freezing cold, and there was no sign of the snow melting.

After a recent period of recuperation, Ji Fan's injury has improved greatly, and He Mengxi is very relieved.

Out of Ji Fan's camp tent, come to see Si Ming.

In the camp tent, there is a big copper stove, this is the largest furnace in the righteous army, Si Ming's status is noble, and he is a guest aid, so naturally the best things are placed here for him.

There is a furnace of benzoin on the tea table, a curling gray mist, and a faint fragrance in the nose, not gloomy, as if there is nothing.

The two military doctors who were taking care of Si Ming saw He Mengxi enter the door, and they all got up and saluted: "Your Royal Highness Princess!" ”

He Mengxi bowed slightly, looked at Si Ming who was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes closed, and seemed to be asleep, and asked, "How is today?" ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the poison of the wound has been cleaned up, the antidote has also worked, the wound has shown signs of healing, the most dangerous time has passed, as long as you recuperate with peace of mind, it will get better and better......"

The doctor said tactfully enough, but He Mengxi understood that the so-called getting better and better could not guarantee anything at all, and it was difficult to say whether he could walk on the ground in the future.

He Mengxi waved his hand, and the two military doctors bowed and retreated.

He Mengxi came to Si Ming's bed, only to see that his eyes were closed, his eyelashes were lowered, and his handsome cheeks were covered with a hazy and sickly state at this time, appearing more supple and gentle, and he no longer had the arrogance he used to have.

At this moment, Qingmei came in with a felt curtain: "Princess, General Li Qian just came over, I didn't see you, and left a message that he was going to supervise the grain and grass and was going to leave for one night!" ”

He Mengxi nodded: "Okay, I know!" After a moment's thought, "I need to arrange a ...... for tonight's camp patrol."

As he spoke, he lifted his feet and left.

Suddenly, a weak voice came: "Princess, don't go......"

He Mengxi followed the sound and saw that Si Ming on the bed had woken up, looking at her with a pair of clear eyes.

Qingmei then said, "Okay, I'll go and prepare first!" ”

With that, he left.

He Mengxi sat on the side of Si Ming's bed, tucked the quilt for him, and said in a gentle voice: "The prince is awake, how do you feel?" ”

Si Ming looked flattered, and forced a little smile on his face: "It's much better!" Much better! ”

He Mengxi sighed lightly: "It's me who didn't protect you well, you came all the way to help me, I'm already grateful, and now you are injured to save me, I really don't want to ...... it."

He Mengxi has been entangled in his heart for several days, thinking about himself, when Si Ming first came, he still loved to see him, he always felt that he was young and vigorous, careless, not a stable person, always treated him as a child, thinking that he was just a teenager, and coming here was also a whim.

After these things happened, she had already denied her preconceived ideas, although Si Ming was young, he was a sincere and trustworthy person, and with the friendship that came from thousands of miles, she couldn't underestimate him.

Si Ming smiled bitterly: "Where did the princess say, as long as you don't blame me for my ignorance in Shu, I will thank God, for the princess, you go to the soup and go to the fire, even if you die in battle before the battle, I have no regrets, since the princess left Shu, I am regretting every moment, I am blaming myself, I am not worthy of the princess you......"

The more Si Ming spoke, the more excited he became, and suddenly his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't continue.

He Mengxi smiled softly and said softly: "I understand, I understand......"

Si Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed He Mengxi's hand: "You don't understand...... you don't understand, I hate to slap myself a few times, you are so good, and I don't know the depths, I don't know what to do, I am self-righteous, in fact, I am nothing, I can't compare to you anywhere, and now you are avenging your father and raising a rebel army, only this point, you are the dragon and phoenix among people, and ten thousand people are not enough!" ”

He Mengxi was grabbed by Si Ming's hand, he was sick, and he didn't dare to break away, so he had to let him hold it, smiling.

"Lord Wang, you think too much, you are a natural nobleman, I understand you, the marriage of the two families, as the children of the royal family, many times you have to be involuntarily ......"
