Chapter 116: Is It Dead?
However, he didn't miss the scene of Pang Lu's injury, if he took advantage of the victory to pursue, he might be able to take it down in one fell swoop!
Hearing this, Qi Changrong waved his hand, his face was leisurely: "No need, he can't escape for the time being." ”
Fu Xiang came from under the city, and there was undried blood on his face.
He wiped it casually, he wanted to tidy up his appearance, but he didn't expect it to be even more frightening.
"Your Highness, there are a total of thirty-two people who have come, and all of them have now been subdued."
Qi Changrong bowed his head and asked softly to Shi Chun, "Are you dead?" ”
Pei Ji and Fu Xiang glanced at each other, not knowing who he was asking.
After muttering for a while, Fu Xiang just wanted to report the number of casualties this time, when he saw the secret guard who appeared out of nowhere and whispered back beside him.
"It's fine, I broke two ribs, I suffered some minor injuries, and I need to recuperate for several months."
As soon as the dark guard spoke, Pei Ji understood who she was asking.
The one who was thrown off the wall when Pang Lu was furious.
Qi Changrong bowed his head again: "Take care of it, if you need any medicine, just take it in your lonely bag." ”
With her words, the dark guard was obviously relieved, if it weren't for the fact that His Highness brought a lot of good things in the team when he traveled, maybe with the current conditions of Huangsha City, he would not be able to take care of their injuries.
"What's the matter, little lady?" Next to him, Pei Ji suddenly asked.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Shi Chun, and even Jiang You, who was obviously impatient, looked at him.
"It's okay, maybe I'm scared by those people." Qi Chang's expression remained unchanged, and seeing that Shi Chun was still holding on to his sleeve in despair, he reached out and pressed her shoulder, and said softly with a smile: "Shi Chun, if you don't let go, everyone will probably laugh alone." ”
Hearing her words, everyone shook their heads and said they didn't dare.
It's not a joke, it's just a surprise.
They all knew that the girl with the woman's hair in front of them was the concubine of the East Palace who came with her, but they didn't know that this concubine room was so favored, and in front of the courtiers and the people, they dared to pull and pull with the prince.
The most important thing is that the prince not only did not punish her, but even had the patience to coax her.
This love of concubine is inevitably a little excessive.
The familiar voice lingered in his ears, and Shi Chun subconsciously pressed the pulse on Qi Changrong's wrist through his sleeves.
Calm and powerful, with a clear rhythm, not like a sick person.
She slowly let go of her hand, with a shy smile on the corner of her mouth, and said to everyone a little embarrassed: "The slave is timid, let you adults see the joke." ”
Fu Xiang saw Qi Chang's expression as usual, and smiled freely: "The little lady is polite, today's pomp is too big, and I saw blood again, don't say that the girl's family is afraid, even our old men feel terrible." ”
Shi Chun smiled silently, and his tactful gaze frequently fell on Qi Changrong.
She was indeed frightened, and not lightly.
But it was not that he was frightened by the so-called cool thief, but that he was frightened by His Highness at that time.
"It's a pity that these good horses lost their lives inexplicably."
The person who spoke was Han Yu, who crouched in front of the horse that had lost his voice, his eyes full of pity.
Han Yu had a lot of blood on his body, as one of the hundred, he naturally had good martial arts, and he also made a lot of efforts to deal with thieves before.
Hearing this, Qi Changrong looked over, and she ordered those crazy horses to be killed.
She paused, and then said lightly: "The people of the city have not touched the meat for many days, and since they are dead, if the people don't mind, let them eat it." ”
As soon as the fluttering words came out, they immediately smashed on everyone, making them unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
Without waiting for Han Yu to say anything, Jiang You was the first to jump out and said loudly with anger: "According to the law of Jin, eating war horses is a capital crime!" ”
"They're not war horses."
"They are! The Iron Hoof Saddles are custom-made, so they can be used to kill enemies in battle! ”
Qi Changrong's tone was as cold as ever, his eyes fell on the blood-drenched horse corpse, and he was unmoved: "When they walked the iron hooves towards the innocent people of the Great Jin, they were already deprived of the qualifications to become war horses. ”
"They weren't voluntary, they were drugged!" Jiang You was mad and held back his anger and reminded repeatedly: "Under normal circumstances, they will never hurt people for no reason. ”
"It's drugged." Qi Changrong's expression seriously agreed with Jiang You's statement, but his tone then turned cold: "But so what? If you kill someone while drunk, don't you kill that person? ”
I didn't have time to be happy because of her relaxation, and after listening to the second half of the sentence in the next moment, Jiang You's face turned red: "You, you are crooked!" Swear black is white.! ”
He really couldn't accept eating horses.
In his eyes, war horses should trample on the enemy unscrupulously on the battlefield, and they, like people, have made a lot of achievements.
Meritorious deeds, even if they are animals, should be honored and buried after death, not become food in their mouths.
Qi Changrong looked at Jiang You, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious: "Twelve horses, you only saw the war horses, but you didn't see the innocent and injured people. ”
Because there were many injured people in that group, fortunately, Qi Changrong gave the order in time and did not hurt anyone's lives.
"From this moment on, it is understandable that Lone deprives them of their war horse qualifications."
Jiang You still had to argue again, but Qi Changrong didn't want to waste time with him, so he turned around and left.
He just wanted to chase, but Shi Chun lowered his eyebrows and stood between the two: "Twelve horses, Your Highness's tolerance for betrayal is zero, don't embarrass her." ”
It's useless, whatever His Highness decides, even His Majesty the Emperor can't do it.
Maybe General Jun may make His Highness's mind turn around, but at this time, General Jun is not there, and no one is destined to be able to control His Highness.
It doesn't matter if it's a human or an animal.
It doesn't matter if you are forced to be helpless, or take the initiative to surrender.
Any betrayal is a dead thing in her heart.
Jiang You jumped like thunder, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped out: "What betrayal is not betrayal, I don't understand!" Anyway, the war horse just can't be eaten, and eating it is a capital crime! ”
Shi Chun's eyes became cold, and he raised his eyes to look at Pei Ji, who was hesitant and didn't know what to do, and said in a cold voice: "Master Pei, didn't you hear His Highness's orders?" ”
"I hear you." Pei Ji looked at Jiang You, a little embarrassed: "But ......"
"No, but." Shi Chun interrupted him a little rudely: "Your Highness's order, you can't wait to obey it, otherwise you will be disrespectful to the order!" ”
The words have come to this, and the mountain called 'resisting the will and disrespecting' pressed down, and Pei Ji only felt that his scalp was numb.
The next moment, he helplessly said to the person beside him: "Kill the horse, divide the meat." ”
Jiang You spread his arms in front of the horse, and said angrily: "If I say no, I can't do it!" ”
Shi Chun twisted his eyebrows: "The twelve horses want to resist the decree?" ”
"What if I resist today?" Jiang You took a rough breath and said viciously: "Count me wrong, Qi Changrong!" I thought that although she was sometimes ruthless, she was merciful and an excellent prince, but what she did today finally made me see clearly that a vicious person is a vicious person, and it will never change! ”
He thought that after the kidnapping case, the relationship between them would change qualitatively, but everything was too much for him to think about.
This man will never repent, let alone be soft-hearted!
"Since the twelve horses are unwilling to obey the order, then please forgive the slaves for being rude."
Shi Chun softly looked towards Jiang Youfu, and when he was stunned, he suddenly said coldly: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you take the twelve horses away?" ”
The sudden increase in the tone of his voice startled Pei Ji, he just wanted to be a peacemaker, but then, the secret guards who had been standing in place like sculptures and had not moved seemed to have received some order, regardless of Jiang You's violent struggle, they couldn't help but take people away.
Immediately after that, the city gate became a large slaughter site.
The strong fishy smell lingers for a long time.
In the year of famine, many people could barely get enough food and clothing, and many more were victims who starved to death without food.
I was finally able to eat meat once, but few people had smiles on their faces, and more of them were in a heavy mood.
Qi Changrong, as the crown prince of the dynasty and the culprit who ordered the horse to eat, naturally got the most tender meat soup.
Shi Chun brought up the steamed meat soup, looked at her face, and said thoughtfully: "This is the people of the house who honor you." ”
"Not necessarily." Qi Changrong said calmly: "You can take it and eat it." ”
Shi Chun frowned, and couldn't help but feel worried. However, she hesitated for a while, but seemed to be able to understand what Qi Changrong was thinking, and after a pause, she retreated.
In the large kitchen in the backyard of Pei's Mansion, with a few taels of horse meat on the table, Pei Ji and Fu Xiang drank happily.
This wine was made a few years ago, and they are reluctant to drink it on weekdays.
The mellow and hot wine slid down his throat, and Pei Ji sighed comfortably: "I can't remember the last time I drank." ”
They don't lack wine, what they lack is appetizers.
After Pei Ji finished saying this, Fu Xiang knew what he was thinking and asked, "Are you thinking about the prince?" ”
Pei Ji smiled lowly, his laughter was full of bitterness, and he sighed: "Yes, in the past, I only thought that the imperial court sent the prince to us perfunctory, but today I saw that it was not true. ”
The barrenness of the southeast has been irreversible, and even the imperial court has vaguely abandoned this place, leaving the people here to fend for themselves.
However, Qi Changrong is different, the war horse will kill when he says he will kill, and he will eat meat when he says he will eat meat.
At least what happened today made everyone understand the fact that in the heart of the prince of the East Palace, nothing is more important than the people.
Fu Xiang pursed his lips and said, "Following such a prince, although his temper is not very good, he is also enduring it. ”
"As long as I can keep the people alive, no matter how big her temper is, I will never complain."
No one is perfect, and even they have countless shortcomings, so how can they be qualified to demand perfection from others?
When the two of them were talking, the cook walked in from outside the courtyard with a bitter face, still holding a bowl of fragrant meat soup.
It didn't look like it had moved.
Fu Xiang put down his chopsticks and said strangely: "What's the matter?" ”
The cook shook his head and looked dazed: "The slave doesn't know, there is news from there, saying that His Highness has no appetite today." ”
The prince has no appetite, and they still eat so deliciously......
Fu Xiang couldn't help but glance at Pei Ji, who also happened to look at him.
