The early morning sun hung in the sky, in the city lord's mansion, it was the flowering season, a hundred flowers were blooming, Zhao Rouer's weak and delicate body squatted slightly on the bluestone slab in the garden, supported her hands lightly, and smelled the faint fragrance of the flowers in the pot with her nose.

Zhao Rou'er was pale, with a few drops of weak sweat on her forehead, although she had a little sickness on her face, she was still beautiful, and the flowers seemed to have lost their color.

"Rou'er, why don't you rest well, running outside to play, it will make your condition worse!" Yang Xiaodao had just rushed to the City Lord's Mansion from outside, and after looking for Zhao Rouer for a long time to no avail, he finally found Zhao Rouer sneaking out to enjoy the flowers in the garden.

Zhao Rou'er's sweet face with a hint of sickly paleness, smiled slightly after seeing Yang Xiaodao, and said in a crisp voice: "Brother Xiaodao, you are back." ”

Yang Xiaodao walked to Zhao Rou'er's side, squatted down, and said lightly reproachfully: "What's the matter, Rou'er, don't you have a good rest, come here to play?" ”

Zhao Rou'er looked at Yang Xiaodao's loving appearance, and said softly: "Brother Xiaodao, Rou'er is stuffy in the house all day, and she always sees you very late every day, and she feels very uncomfortable, but she just wants to come out and breathe." Seeing the flowers blooming here makes my heart feel much better. ”

Yang Xiaodao gently stroked the sweat on Zhao Rou'er's forehead, and said lovingly: "Rou'er, I promise you that when I defeat the Qin army against Zhao State, I will accompany you every day." ”

Zhao Rou'er's smiling face suddenly revealed: "Okay! All right! Brother Knife, you have to talk about it! ”

Yang Xiaodao nodded slightly.

Zhao Rou'er said with a small face full of longing: "When I get better, you have also repelled the Qin army, and we will leave this place where the war continues." I don't want to be a princess, and you don't want to be a general, as long as you are with me from now on. We built a thatched hut in the middle of the mountains and lived in it together. You can fall asleep listening to me sing, and when you wake up in the morning, I'll cook you lots and lots of good food. I would plant beautiful flowers in front of our house, and during the day we would lay hand in hand in the grass and smell the flowers, and when it was dark, we could sit under the eaves and count the stars in the sky together. Brother Xiaodao, do you think it's good? ”

Yang Xiaodao listened to Zhao Rouer say what he thought in his heart, and thought in his heart, "What Zhao Rouer is looking forward to, isn't it the life I yearn for?" Just, can you really do it yourself? ”

"Brother Knife, why don't you speak? Don't you want to live like this with Rou'er? Zhao Rouer asked.

Yang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Rou'er's two light eyes, gently stroked Zhao Rou'er's cheek and said, "How come?" I promise you, I will do it! ”

Zhao Rouer was full of hope for Yang Xiaodao, and nodded "um".

Zhao Rouer was seriously ill and didn't have any strength in her body, Yang Xiaodao gently supported Zhao Rouer and let her lie on her back, Yang Xiaodao's body arched slightly, and Zhao Rouer was carried to the bedroom.

Yang Xiaodao carefully placed Zhao Rouer on the wooden bed, covered her with a quilt, picked up the handkerchief in the basin on the side, and gently wiped Zhao Rouer's face, Zhao Rouer kept looking at Yang Xiaodao and smiled sweetly.

Yang Xiaodao glanced at Zhao Rou'er's sweet smile and was about to say something. Suddenly, a call came from outside the door: "General, general, General Du shouted that you have something important to discuss." ”

Yang Xiaodao said softly to Zhao Rou'er: "You are so rested, I will go back as soon as I go." Zhao Rou'er nodded, and Yang Xiaodao retreated.

Outside the city mansion, Du Tianqi had been waiting outside for a long time, and after Yang Xiaodao rushed over, he hurriedly asked, "You are in such a hurry to inform me, something must have happened." ”

Du Tianqi nodded and said: "General Yang, there are many people here, I can't say more, you come with me, I'll take you to see it." ”

Du Tianqi took Yang Xiaodao for a while, and rushed to the place he said. Yang Xiaodao didn't expect Du Tianqi to take him to the barn, and when Du Tianqi opened the warehouse door, Yang Xiaodao was suddenly shocked.

I saw that the barn was almost empty, and the only grain was even slightly moldy. Yang Xiaodao's face was very ugly, and he asked Du Tianqi: "How can there be no food so soon?" ”

Du Tianqi explained: "Originally, the grain reserves in the barn were not very sufficient, and the Qin army continued to attack the city for a month, and the fields of the soldiers outside the city, almost all the harvest fell into the hands of the Qin army. ”

Yang Xiaodao frowned slightly, and asked, "Why did you notify me of such an important matter now?" ”

Du Tianqi didn't dare to breathe, and said nervously: "Yes...... Subordinate...... dereliction of duty. ”

Yang Xiaodao was angry, and after coming over for a long time, he relieved himself and ordered: "You immediately go to the city to borrow some food from the people, write the IOUs one by one, and return them in full." ”

"Whoa!" Du Tianqi knelt down on one knee and answered.

"Knock, knock, knock......" Yang Xiaodao suddenly felt that his heartbeat was a little rapid, and his head suddenly hurt a little, and he hugged his head violently with both hands.

"General, General, what's wrong with you?" Du Tianqi stood up, held Yang Xiaodao and said.

Yang Xiaodao waved his hand and said, "General Du, you have to help me do one thing first."

Du Tianqi hurriedly said: "The general just orders!" ”

Yang Xiaodao hurriedly took off the silver armor on his body, leaving only simple civilian clothes. He reached out and took out a very strange ancient book from his arms, wrapped it in a silver battle armor, and stuffed it into Du Tianqi.

Du Tianqi looked puzzled and asked, "General, who are you?" ”

Yang Xiaodao held his forehead with one hand, as if he was in pain, and he said tremblingly: "General Du, you can find a place to hide this book that no one can find!" This book is more important than my life, you must hide it. ”

After thinking for a while, Du Tianqi said: "General, I will hide this book in the underground palace, and I will wait for you to get it in the future!" ”

"The dungeon? What is that place? Yang Xiaodao rubbed his forehead and asked suspiciously.

Du Tianqi hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "Your Excellency didn't know where to get a strange key, so he built a dungeon under this city behind his back, and the key was hidden in the dungeon!" ”

Yang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "Whatever you want, you must hide it!" After speaking, he ignored Du Tianqi, hurriedly found a horse, and hurried to the City Lord's Mansion.

I don't know why, Yang Xiaodao has been having a headache for no reason since just now, as if something bad is about to happen, and he can even feel as if he is about to leave a person.

Yang Xiaodao rode his horse and quickly arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and as soon as he got off the horse, he ran directly in the direction of Zhao Rou'er's bedroom.

As soon as Yang Xiaodao entered the door, he saw Zhao Rouer falling from the bed. Zhao Rou'er's face was painful, and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, constantly rolling on the ground.

"Rou'er" Yang Xiaodao hugged Zhao Rou'er on the bed. "Tell me, what's wrong with you, Rou'er?"

"Cough-" Zhao Rou'er's body trembled, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood. Yang Xiaodao was anxious and said, "Rou'er, you wait for me to call the military doctor over immediately." ”

Zhao Rou'er stretched out her hand and grabbed Yang Xiaodao's hand: "Brother Xiaodao, don't go, Rou'er is so afraid!" ”

Yang Xiaodao looked at Zhao Rou'er, who was coughing up blood, and her heart was about to break, he hesitated, hugged Zhao Rou'er and said, "Rou'er, don't be afraid, Brother Xiaodao will be by your side!" ”

Zhao Rou'er's face was pale without a trace of blood, she cried and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiaodao, Rou'er lied to you, I'm sorry...... Rou'er lied to you, Brother Knife......"

Yang Xiaodao caressed Zhao Rou'er lightly, and said softly in his mouth: "It's okay, it's okay, Brother Xiaodao won't care!" ”

The corners of Zhao Rou'er's eyes were moist, and tears couldn't stop flowing: "I'm sorry, Brother Xiaodao, Rou'er's illness is no longer saved." I deliberately didn't let the military doctor tell you. Don't go to him again, he won't be able to cure Rou'er! ”

Yang Xiaodao hugged Zhao Rouer's body and buried his head in her arms, but the tears could no longer be contained in his eyes, and fell into Zhao Rouer's arms. "Rou'er, how can you be so stupid, how can you hide it from me!"

"Ahem, cough ......," Zhao Rou'er suddenly coughed out a large mouthful of red blood from her mouth.
