Chapter 2
Chu Qiao walked to the round table in the room and sat down, drank a glass of water, and at this time, there was a rough man's angry scolding outside the door. It was Ah Jing's coming, he was scolding the guards who were blocking him, knocked on the door and strode in, he looked at Chu Qiao's current appearance, and his nose suddenly became sore.
"Miss Achu, it's great that you're awake." Ah Jing said with red eyes: "Since you fell asleep, Your Majesty has not eaten well and slept well every day, and he is very worried in his heart, so he has sent people around to find a famous doctor to treat you, and no matter how busy things are every day, he will personally ask if you wake up."
His Majesty seems to have a cold attitude on the surface, but many things are done behind his back by Cheng Yuan's treacherous villain, and many of them are unaware of him! Even if he made some decisions that made you sad, please see that His Majesty really cares about you too much, and he has to do it as a last resort for fear of losing you, and he is also very bitter in his heart. Ah Jing said in a hoarse voice, his face longing for Chu Qiao to forgive His Majesty for the decision he made.
She raised her head slightly, looked at him calmly, and after a long time, she slowly asked in a deep voice: "What about He Xiao, what about the soldiers of the Xiuli Army, how are they?" ”
Ah Jing hurriedly replied: "They have nothing to do, now in the guard house of the Yanwang Mansion, they want to come to see you, but you are still recuperating, Your Majesty ordered that no outsiders are allowed to disturb you." ”
"Oh" Chu Qiao nodded silently, his expression did not have a trace of waves, and then said, "Yu Wenyue's men and horses, are they all dead?" Found the corpse? ”
"There are almost no living mouths," Ah Jing paused, sighed and continued: "The corpses that can be buried are buried on the spot, but some of them fell into the lake and the water was too deep to be caught, but they couldn't survive if they thought about it." ”
She thought about it, the water of Qianzhang Lake was deep and cold, and it was almost impossible to survive with injuries, but what she wanted to know more was him, how was he.
"What about Yu Wenyue's? Did you get it? ”
After a long time, Ah Jing, who was standing there, did not answer Chu Qiao, and stopped talking.
"Why, is your majesty not letting you tell me, he even killed people, and he is afraid that I will know." Her cold tone caused the air in the room to plummet by a few degrees.
Ah Jing hurriedly defended: "No, Your Majesty didn't..."
She interrupted Ah Jing's unfinished words, and continued to sarcastically: "No, he~ There is nothing, there is no order for people to continue the siege, there is no order for people to shoot arrows, and he is killed!" ”
Ah Jing looked at Chu Qiao who was emotional, and knew in her heart that she was afraid that the estrangement between her and Her Majesty was deep, and no matter how much she comforted, it would not be able to release her suspicions in a day or two, so she could only slowly say the result.
"It has been caught, and it was ordered by His Majesty to be returned to Da Wei, and Yuan Che personally came to pick it up."
"Okay, I see, you can go."
"No, Ah Jing retreated first." Ah Jing glanced at the indifferent Chu Qiao, his eyes were full of helplessness and worry, and he turned around and left with his fists clenched.
She turned her head and said to the maidservant Shisu, "I'm a little hungry, go and prepare something to eat." ”
"No" the maid Shisu hurriedly replied and left after him.
After a while, Shisu came back with the food, and said as he put it away: "These are all sent by His Majesty, I heard from Doctor Yu that the girl has not eaten for several days, and she can't eat too meaty, and there is chicken soup here, which has been simmered for several hours." ”
Chu Qiao ate the food on the table, chewed it slowly, and quickly ate a bowl, then another bowl, and continued to eat silently.
Night fell, in the quiet bedroom, Chu Qiao was meditating and pranayama, the internal force of the cold ice technique sealed in his body when he lost his memory was now completely broken, and after a few weeks of pranayama operation, it has now recovered.
She got up and got out of bed, walked over to the sword holder where the crimson sword was placed, picked it up, stroked it with her hand, stared at it, and turned out of the room.
The moonlight in the courtyard was shining, and the lights were swaying around, she pulled out the sword body, and danced the sword trick in the courtyard, recalling a move, the sword danced with silver light, and the wind lifted the hem of the clothes, like a butterfly shadow blurred, like a meteor inviting the moon.
Early the next morning, Chu Qiao washed up and put on a white tunic shirt, ate breakfast, explained the perilla, and went out of the courtyard.
Walking in the Yanwang Mansion, the cold wind was howling, Chu Qiao found a guard and asked about the location of the guard, and then paced there.
After passing through several corridors and courtyards, Chu Qiao finally came to the door of the guard's house, and the two old pines and cypresses in front of the door were swaying in the wind, as if welcoming her arrival.
She walked through the threshold and walked inside, the clean and tidy courtyard, the left and right sides of the training stakes, grass targets, plum blossom stakes and so on.
At this moment, He Xiao walked out of the room, saw her, looked stunned, and rubbed his eyes with his hands to make sure that the person he saw in front of him was not a phantom, so he immediately stepped towards him.
"Lord Chu, you've finally woken up! We are all dying," He Xiao looked excited, and kept looking at Chu Qiao with his eyes, as if he didn't find anything abnormal, and then continued: "Your Majesty ordered that we are not allowed to visit, for fear of disturbing your rest, how is your body recovering?" ”
"It's not bad, how are you doing?" Chu Qiao said with a smile.
"Lord Lao is concerned, we are doing well, and Your Majesty is not too embarrassed for us." He Xiao replied with a slightly embarrassed face.
The cold wind blew across the faces of the two of them, and He Xiao suddenly realized it, and hurriedly said: "Lord Chu, the weather is cold, let's go into the house and say, my lord, please come with me." ”
Chu Qiao walked into the house with He Xiao, she looked at the center of the room, in the simple bonfire trough made of stone, there were some still burning wood, and the heat source was constantly filling the somewhat cold room.
She walked over to the campfire, sat down on a small stool next to the pile of wood, and picked up the wood and added it to the campfire trough to make the room warmer.
Seeing this, He Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and handed her the tea in his hand, and the two sat down around the bonfire and began to chat.
"He Xiao, how many people are left in the Xiuli Army now?" She asked, tilting her head.
"After the battle of Qianzhang Lake, there are less than 300 people left." He Xiao sighed.
"Three hundred, three hundred left." Sadness spread in her heart, and she continued: "I heard Ah Jing say that Yu Wenyue's body was taken back to Dawei, what happened. ”
"I just listened to the other guards about the specific situation, after you fainted, Your Majesty sent someone to salvage in the lake, but because the ice lake was too deep, the salvaged soldiers found the body of General Yuwen after two days.
Later, the new emperor of Great Wei sent a request for documents, thinking that His Majesty probably remembered the old feelings and agreed, and only let the people of Great Wei take it away two days ago. ”
"What about the Moonbreaker Sword, sent back with him?" Chu Qiao furrowed his forehead, full of doubts.
"When I returned it, I didn't seem to see the Moon Breaking Sword returned." He Xiao shook his head and said.
"What happened to them on the seventh day of the month?" Chu Qiao saw Yue Qi, who was seriously injured, and learned the whereabouts of Yu Wenyue from his mouth, fainted, and he didn't know what happened later, and he was also very worried in his heart.
"Speaking of which, I am also skeptical." He Xiao recalled the scene at that time, and his face also showed a different expression.
"What's going on, what happened?" She grabbed He Xiao's arm, eager to find out what else had happened later.
"My lord, not long after you left, another group of people wearing cyan beast armor came, killed all the remaining Yanbei soldiers, and rescued the seriously injured Yuewei, as for where they went, we don't know."
"And there's such a thing, cyan beastman." The more she listened, the more confused she became.
"My lord, there's one more thing, you listen steadily." He Xiao looked at her intently, and he understood how much impact his next words would have on the woman in front of him.
Chu Qiao didn't say anything, she just sensed that what He Xiao, who had always been steady, said next, might be the most important information for her to know at the moment, she looked forward to it, and her gaze at him became more eager and full of expectations.
He Xiao had never seen Lord Chu show such an expression.
He took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "I was also drinking at night not long ago, when I heard the soldier who sent Yu Wenyue's corpse mention, it should be that the water of the ice lake was too cold, and it was unsuccessful to go down to the lake to salvage people for a long time, just when they were about to give up, it happened that a soldier happened to find the corpse that looked like General Yuwen, but after a long time of soaking, his face has been deformed, and he can only be identified through the clothes on the corpse.
In the past few days, I have been thinking about whether a person like General Yuwen who has a well-thought-out plan will not. ”
"Cyan Beast Armor Man, Spy Paper Sky Eye, Moon Guard..."Chu Qiao muttered in a low voice.
"Will it be Tao Dai Li Zhuang and send the fake one to everyone, but all this is impossible to verify, and it is just a conjecture."
Chu Qiao's heart was undoubtedly turbulent at the moment, and there seemed to be a light of hope flickering in her eyes, she and He Xiao exchanged a few words of greeting, picked up the Remnant Rainbow Sword and got up to leave.
