Chapter 24: Are You Scared?
Junchen replied casually: "It stopped yesterday." After speaking, he seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and said casually: "That mountain has been burned to the ground, and the birds and beasts have run away without dying." ”
"Where's Tancheng?"
"For the time being, I only asked Shen Cong'an to bring people to surround them, and I haven't decided how to deal with them." The people of the enemy country, the army of the defeated country.
Qi Changrong bent his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth rose, his voice was brisk, and he said half-truthfully: "General, if you want to set a fire in Tancheng, what do you think?" Jun Chen's nonchalant expression paused, and he raised his eyes and stared at her intently: "Is Your Highness serious?" With a bang, the sleepy waiter who was sitting on the threshold didn't check, and slammed the back of his head on the crack of the door.
All the sleepy insects ran out in an instant, and she subconsciously looked at the source of the sound. Qi Changrong hung his head slightly on the side of the bed, and his plain face flickered under the candle shadow.
What did she hear? His Royal Highness actually wants to set fire to Tancheng? What's the difference between that and the slaughter of a city! Shi Xia gasped, preferring to believe that she had misheard in a daze, rather than admit that His Royal Highness was a ruthless person.
She has been by His Highness's side since she was a child, and she thinks she knows His Highness well enough. His Royal Highness is by no means a murderer, and the education she has received since she was a child is the government of benevolence, caring for the people, and balancing the court.
How can such a request be made today? Qi Changrong's fingers flexed slightly, pursed his lips and said stubbornly: "The general hasn't answered Gu's question yet, why did he ask Gu?" Jun Chen retracted his scrutinizing eyes: "This move is inappropriate, the Jin Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom are hostile, but the people are innocent, and the people of Tancheng have not done anything to endanger the Jin people." Besides, the slaughter of the city was too cruel, and if it spread, it would leave a name for His Highness's cruelty. "In fact, there is nothing in the troubled times that the superior can't do, there are troops who rob food and slaughter homestays, not to mention the notorious General Pang Lupang of Liangguo, just say that the Great Jin Military Department, and no one dares to say that they have never bullied the people.
The cold wind blew in from the window, Qi Changrong shivered, she suddenly came back to her senses, and looked into Jun Chen's obviously cold eyes.
Those who have not experienced the slaughter of a city will never know how terrible it is. He only thinks that she is too ruthless, how can he understand her mood in her previous life when she saw the heads of the people in Beijing piled up on the streets and alleys?
"Forget it, you should be lonely and just talk and play, don't take it to heart." Junchen: "......" She was the only one left in the overly warm bedroom, and Shi Xia stood at the door and didn't dare to come in.
The wick of the candle crackled from the fire, and a wisp of green smoke came out, and Shi Xia stared down at his toes, waiting was always the most tormenting.
She didn't know what she was worried about, and since she learned that His Highness had such crazy thoughts, her heart went up and down, and she couldn't get peace for a moment.
It was only then that she realized that it was more important than the prince inexplicably blocking a sword for his courtiers, or slaughtering the city.
Although His Royal Highness said that it was a joke, she didn't know that since she was a child, Her Highness had never joked with anyone, and if she said it, it meant that she really had her thoughts.
Qi Changrong turned his head and looked at Shi Xia, who had almost written all his thoughts on his face, if she were an ordinary person, she would definitely think that she was too simple, and she looked like she wanted to say anything.
But in the royal family, simple is the deadliest. And she is a person who came down from the mountains and seas of her father, no matter how simple she is, where can she be pure, but she just wants to use this appearance to tell her what she thinks.
Qi Changrong closed his eyes slightly, and his voice was cold: "What are you afraid of?" ”
