Chapter 358: Deep Mountains and Old Forests
As soon as Wei Songting stretched out his hand and wanted to help Concubine Shu down, he was already avoided by Concubine Shu. Looking at his hand that was stuck in mid-air, Wei Songting shook his head helplessly.
"Zhaohua has always had the habit of carrying medicine, and asked the emperor for help." Wei Songting bowed to Shen Cuobai, and the meaning of his words was self-evident. Concubine Shu was obviously frightened, and at this time she curled up in a corner of the cave without saying a word, the only person here who could be qualified to give Wei Zhaohua medicine was Shen Cuobai.
Shen Cuobai nodded and waved his hand at Wei Songting. Wei Songting understood, and said to the guards, "Let's all go find some food to eat first, it's been a long time, and they're all tired, let's go outside and find a place to sleep after eating something!" ”
"Yes!"
The guards answered, and went about their work. Some went looking for firewood, others went hunting. This kind of life of eating and sleeping in the open is not too difficult for these soldiers.
When everyone came out of the cave, Shen Cuobai gently untied Wei Zhaohua's clothes.
"Hammer!" The sound of a heavy object falling on the ground made Shen Cuobai startled, and a wooden brocade box fell out of Wei Zhaohua's cuffs, with a pattern painted on it. Although Shen Cuobai had never seen this kind of flower, just looking at the appearance of the flower, he felt that this flower was very beautiful.
Gently opening the brocade box, a cold light flashed, and Shen Cuobai couldn't help but squint his eyes. When I looked at the contents of the box again, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then he reacted, closed it gently, and put it on the open space on the side. Looking at Wei Zhaohua's quiet cheeks, Shen Cuobai sighed softly. I don't know what kind of blessings I cultivated in my previous life, so I can meet such a person in this life.
Just as Wei Songting thought, Wei Zhaohua's body was indeed full of medicine. Gently put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, Shen Cuobai could vaguely distinguish some of it. Picking up the certain medicine, he sprinkled it on Wei Zhaohua's wound.
Wei Zhaohua Xu sensed the pain, frowned invisibly, and Shen Cuobai's movements couldn't help but become a little gentler.
After helping Wei Zhaohua take the medicine, Shen Cuobai breathed a sigh of relief. Because of himself, Wei Zhaohua's body is full of scars, and I am afraid that even if he is good in the future, he will definitely leave scars. Thinking of this, Shen Cuobai couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Looking at the excess medicinal powder in the porcelain bottle, Shen Cuobai helped Wei Zhaohua get dressed, carefully placed it on the side, and then walked outside. Watching Shen Cuobai go out, Concubine Shu, who was hiding in the corner, walked tremblingly in the direction of Wei Zhaohua.
Wei Zhaohua's pale face was full of pain, and looking at the deep wounds that were visible to the bones, Concubine Shu couldn't help but shed tears. It gently drip on the ground and make a "pop" sound.
Shen Cuobai found Wei Songting, who was busy cooking on the fire, and handed over the medicine in his hand.
"You still have injuries behind you, take good care of yourself. If Zhaohua wakes up, he definitely doesn't want to see you do anything. ”
Wei Songting's heart was moved, and he said softly, "Hmm! With a sigh, he took it from Shen Cuobai's hand with a smile.
Shen Cuobai looked around at the guards who were busy, there were not many of them, but they didn't seem to have any sense of decadence. It can be seen that Wei Songting's soldiers are still good in the end.
"Sui Yue must be in a hurry to find us now, and hiding in this kind of place is not a long-term strategy. Let them have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will set off back to Dongqi! ”
Wei Songting's eyes widened, a little surprised, "Your Majesty, the civil strife in Daduan at this time has not yet been pacified, if Sui Yue is really put in power, it will definitely be a great threat to Eastern Qi in the future!" ”
"Just like Sui Yue himself said, now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, even if we want to help, it will not help at all. Although Sui Chen was violent, he still saved Sui Yue's life after ascending the throne. Sui Yue is different, that is, he is unwilling to let Sui Chen go when he finds any opportunity. Songting, there are many things, we can't do anything, we can only wait for the time when it reaches the bridge! ”
"Yes, the minister understands!" Wei Songting opened his mouth in response, and he had no objection to Shen Cuobai's decision.
Shen Cuobai nodded lightly, stretched out his hand and patted Wei Songting's shoulder before walking towards the cave. Wei Songting looked at Shen Cuobai's back and nodded fiercely.
When things are at the worst they will mend!
Concubine Shu saw Shen Cuobai coming in, and just as she wanted to step aside, Shen Cuobai had already spoken, "You don't have to be so afraid, this is no longer the imperial city of Daduan." Zhaohua will wake up soon, and nothing will happen. ”
"Oh!" Concubine Shu said softly, and it was also today that she learned that the person who had once pretended to be a maid was the emperor of Eastern Qi. Although the relationship with her may be antagonistic, for Wei Zhaohua, both of them have the same thoughts.
"Actually, I and Zhaohua both appreciate you, we are all in the midst of this palace change, and we also know that you have been hurt a lot. But the past cannot be traced, and there is nothing to make up for now. If you don't mind, why don't you follow Zhaohua back to Dongqi, where we will protect you! ”
Shen Cuobai said, it was a magic weapon to take Wei Zhaohua's name and do things in front of him. He could see that the woman in front of him trusted Wei Zhaohua far more than others.
But Rao was like this, and Concubine Shu still didn't speak for a long time, falling into deep contemplation.
The atmosphere in the cave suddenly cooled down, Shen Cuobai coughed lightly, and said, "Songting is cooking outside, if you are hungry, it is better to go out and find some food." It's not as good as it used to be, but it's still no problem to fill your stomach. ”
"Hmm." Concubine Shu opened her mouth gently, put down the hand holding Wei Zhaohua in her hand, looked at Wei Zhaohua reluctantly, and then walked outside. She didn't really want to eat, and what happened in the afternoon was enough to make her lose her appetite. But she also knew that it was not suitable for her to stay in the cave at this time. That should be the time when Shen Cuobai and Wei Zhaohua were alone.
I heard that the Emperor of Dongqi was infatuated with the county lord of Zhaohua, which broke the hearts of countless Dongqi women, and now when I see it, it really deserves its reputation!
Concubine Shu, who had just come out of the cave, couldn't help but shrink when she saw the soldiers in armor outside, and just as she wanted to run back, she was grabbed by a hand. couldn't help but be taken aback, and before he could open his mouth and shout loudly, he heard Wei Songting's voice coming, "Do you want to eat something?" ”
Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but she still frowned slightly, broke free of Wei Songting's hand fiercely, and walked towards the dense jungle in the distance. Wei Songting had soup in his hand, but in fact, it was just a combination of wild vegetables and hares, which could barely fill his stomach.
Putting the soup aside, Wei Songting chased in the direction where Concubine Shu had left.
But this time, Wei Songting only followed silently, and never stepped forward to grab Concubine Shu's hand, even with his own movements carefully, as if he was afraid of being discovered by Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu walked aimlessly, this is a deserted forest, and there seems to be no trace of life. Wei Songting followed behind, that is, Concubine Shu walked faster or slower, and there was no way to get rid of Wei Songting behind her.
"How long are you going to follow Hongu!"
Concubine Shu couldn't help but ask loudly, turned around, and stared fiercely at Wei Songting in front of her with a pair of eyes. Under the night, Wei Songting's face was slightly pale like Wei Zhaohua, which shocked Concubine Shu's heart.
But when she said that, Concubine Shu only felt sad. The palace is used to using the self-title, but now, what qualifications does she have to use this title again? The world that belongs to Sui Chen's Daduan is gone, and she is no longer a pampered concubine in the palace. How to describe her best? Probably the general of the defeated army is more suitable, right?
"This side is full of deep mountains and old forests, as long as you go alone, I will follow you until you go!"
Wei Songting opened his mouth and said, not saying whether the meaning in this was pure concern, or if there were other thoughts, but this was what Wei Songting was thinking at this time.
Concubine Shu smiled self-deprecatingly, and couldn't help but look at the moon in the sky, "General Wei, what are you doing with me as a concubine of a dead country?" My country is gone, my relatives are gone, my husband is dead, I have no one left. Even I don't know where I'm going! ”
"Follow me!" Wei Songting said without hesitation, feeling that it was not solemn enough, and said again, "Follow me!" As long as there is me, it will be your home! If you want, if you are not afraid to endure hardship, I want you! ”
Concubine Shu's eyes were slightly stunned, and she looked at the person opposite in disbelief. But seeing Wei Songting's serious appearance, there was a faint expectation in his eyes. Concubine Shu's heart moved, and her face was already full of tears.
"I am the concubine of the fallen country and the general of the defeated army! is the daughter of the mastermind of the rebellion, and the concubine of the king of the fallen country! How can you, Major General Wei, be so admired, how can you be unclear with someone like me? ”
Concubine Shu said with a chuckle, and as she spoke, she even cried with herself. also changed from silent tears at the beginning to crying. In just one day, she had become nothing. She has not experienced any wind and rain since she was a child, but now she has endured all the joys and sorrows in an instant.
Wei Songting stepped forward to hug Concubine Shu's body, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Concubine Shu's hair, and then said softly, "From now on, you are no longer Concubine Shu, you are a free person." Whatever you want, you can do it. If you want to, you are my wife Wei Songting! ”
"What you said, but everything is true? Do you dare to swear to God? ”
