Chapter 444: Peace Talks
Western Regions, Phoenix Ridge.
The sun is shining and the sky is cloudless.
It's just that such good weather is a disaster for the army circling in the Phoenix Ridge, everyone purses their chapped lips, and digs the soil under their feet with a shovel without raising their heads, Rong Jiu oversees the work on the side with a tanned face, "Be faster, be wider, otherwise you won't be able to store much water." ”
When he came, Zhao Jinghuan found a local Sada as a guide.
Although Sada didn't see through the formation of Tianxiang Pavilion, he still had a good way of seeing the sky, he said that it would rain tonight, Zhao Jinghuan immediately asked them to dig a big pit to store rainwater, and the water brought was almost finished, if they couldn't solve the battle, I was afraid that they would die.
Zhao Jinghuan sat in the shade of a tree and opened the map, and asked Sada while looking, "Today, you take a few people to find Di Er, and say that this king promised to negotiate with him, and let him come to see this king tomorrow, and he will not wait for the expiration date." ”
These days, they have fought several times, and Dier has not made any money.
On the contrary, they were trapped in the formation like them, lacking food and clothing, and even had to kill horses to satisfy hunger, and now the two sides occupy a corner, and they don't give in to each other, Di Er dragged his family with his mouth, and he really couldn't hold it, and sent people to sue for peace several times, Zhao Jinghuan didn't pay attention to him, he knew that only when the other party was worse than himself, peace talks were meaningful.
"Your Highness really wants to make peace with them?" Sada was surprised, "Now we will have water soon!" ”
The most precious thing now is that water is not people.
When there is water, they can continue to consume it with them!
"It is precisely because we have water that we have more capital to negotiate peace with them." Zhao Jinghuan accepted the map and put it in his personal pocket, "Go and prepare, don't ask so much." ”
Sada retreated in amusement.
Zhao Jinghuan got out of the tent, brought a hat, took the shovel, and went to dig a pit not far away, he hadn't taken a bath for several days, he had to dig a bath for himself to take a bath, and by the way, he washed the clothes that had been replaced, his princess said, even if the army was out, as long as the conditions permitted, it should be kept tidy, only in this way, will he be less sick, he has to listen to the princess.
Thinking of Xie Jinyi, his heart seemed to be suddenly emptied.
I don't know how she is now, she is more than five months pregnant, is it inconvenient to even walk...... Thinking of the love with her before, he felt a little like a world away, as if it was a very distant thing, or the scene of the previous life, and then looked at the scorching vegetation and the miserable white sky around him, he couldn't help but speed up the excavation, he had to find a way to end this war quickly, and strive to return to Beijing as soon as possible, he wanted to rush to her side before she gave birth, accompany her, and he would never be separated from her again......
During the night, it rained heavily.
Because of the adequate preparation, many large and small sand pits were dug in the camp, and basically a lot of water was stored.
The soldiers were extremely excited.
They drank a full meal, filled their water bladders, and even the large and small iron pots were filled with water.
Zhao Jinghuan boiled hot water, made tea, and went to the sand pit to take a bath before going to bed, Rong Jiu didn't know what to say, in this case, His Royal Highness was still taking a bath...... Zhao Jinghuan took a bath, changed into clothes, pointed to the sand pit next to him, and asked Rong Jiu, "Do you wash it?" ”
Rong Jiu shook his head: "Don't wash." ”
It's not that he doesn't want to wash, it's that he thinks he can't do it.
Drinking water is the most important thing at the moment, and as for bathing, it's too luxurious.
Zhao Jinghuan didn't bother to say anything to the people who didn't take a bath, so he took out the previous few changed clothes from his baggage and threw them into the sand pit, "Wash it tonight and dry it tomorrow." ”
"Yes, I'll wash it." Rong Jiu turned around and took the soap corner, squatted down to wash his clothes, but said in his heart, Your Highness, can we not be so particular? I don't have enough water to drink!
Zhao Jinghuan returned to the tent refreshed, and when he learned that Zhou Yi had been drenched in the rain, he ordered someone to call him and asked, "How is the situation over there in Di'er these days?" ”
Zhou Yi has dealt with Dier for many years.
Zhao Jinghuan sent him to personally keep an eye on the movements of Di'er's camp.
"Back to His Royal Highness, Di Er is itchy and unbearable at night, and his subordinates often see Queen Ying angry at the military doctors, scolding them for being useless, and his subordinates guess that Di Er is sick." Zhou Yi was tanned even more, so there was a sand fruit tree in the place where he was hiding, although there were not many sand fruits, but they supported him for several days, Zhao Jinghuan gave him ginseng Yang Rong Pill, and he still had one that he was not willing to eat!
"He's having a scorpion venom attack." Zhao Jinghuan heard Xie Jinyi talk about the scorpion venom in Di's ear, and guessed that the medicine he brought with him was likely to be finished, and said in a good mood, "You go back tonight to rest and rest, and we will make peace with him tomorrow." ”
"Your Highness, Di Er is cunning by nature, how can he really make peace with us......" Zhou Yi didn't believe it.
"Don't worry, true and false, false and true are common things in soldiers, we don't believe him, he doesn't believe us, now, only by making peace with them can we get out of this ghost place, otherwise, even if we kill him, we will be trapped here." Zhao Jinghuan sat cross-legged on the couch and said confidently, "This is the territory of the Western Regions, and if we stay any longer, we won't be able to make any cheap." ”
The next day, Diel arrived as promised.
came together, as well as his two sons Di Rong Di Fa, although the two are tall and short, but their appearance is still very similar, especially that Di Fa, who has fine skin and tender meat, looks very delicate.
Not far away, Rong Jiu tied a rope between two trees in the camp, and dried the clothes he had washed last night on them, the clothes were washed cleanly, and he could even smell the scent of soaphorn.
Father and son "......"
Although it rained last night, they were prepared, but they were not luxurious enough to do laundry......
Zhao Jinghuan looked at Di Er's dark circles, calmly invited the father and son into the tent, sat away from them, and said directly, "The scorpion venom of the King of Zephan has frequent attacks, and life is not easy, in fact, I can't complain about the doctor, the doctor can't solve the old disease." ”
He couldn't stand the fox smell on Diar.
It can stun him.
Zhou Yi served tea.
The smell of tea permeated the entire tent.
"It seems that His Royal Highness King Jing has a very nourishing life!" Di Er saw that Zhao Jinghuan was neatly dressed and radiant, not like a person who had been trapped for nearly two months, Zhao Jinghuan shook his head disapplausively and said, "Where is it, it is miserable, except for no shortage of water, no shortage of food, everything is lacking, this king has not been stained with meat for a long time, unlike King Zefan, he can still kill horses from time to time to satisfy hunger, this king is very envious!" ”
Difa sneered.
Hmph, this His Royal Highness King Jing is really thick-skinned, there is no shortage of water, there is no shortage of food, they secretly went to the small river on the other side of their camp a few days ago to grab water, or did he lead people to beat them away!
It's just that he doesn't look embarrassed, but he has a faint fragrance on his body, in the end, he is the prince and grandson, no matter what the circumstances, he is extraordinary.
In the past few days, Di Er has been tortured by scorpion venom and is emaciated, and he doesn't want to talk to Zhao Jinghuan, "His Royal Highness King Jing, now we are in prison together, only by joining hands can we get through the difficulties together, there is no shortage of capable people around me to break the formation, as long as His Royal Highness King Jing agrees to a truce, I guarantee that within five days, we will be able to break this formation." ”
Phoenix Ridge has always been controlled by Tianxiang Pavilion.
Although he is from the Western Regions, he has to take a detour every time he passes by here, so he is not familiar with Phoenix Ridge, but if he wants to break the formation, he must join forces with Zhao Jinghuan, otherwise they will all die.
