136. Walk with the son
"But it scared you?" An Youleng for a moment, still with a smile in her eyes, looking at her stubborn, she always felt a little sad.
"Not really." He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his face, "Tell me how the situation is first?" "The atmosphere is not as tense as before.
"The people in the city have left, and there are not many of the 5,000 soldiers left, plus there are only more than 2,000 people left in the city defenders who were already stationed in Xuancheng, and the city has run out of food the day before yesterday, and now they can only hold the city gate and wait for His Majesty to send troops to support." The situation here is even worse than he said, and the streets are ruined.
"Can't wait." She lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be me if I came today." "His majesty, whom he believes, has forsaken him, and the city, and the men whom they believe, who are waiting for reinforcements to come, will never come,
Waiting for a hope that can never be waited for is like walking in the dark, not seeing a little light, confused and nowhere to be found, she understands this feeling of abandonment, so she hates this feeling,
"Then why did you come here when you knew this was the case?" Now that they have become outcasts and have no value, the court will no longer send a single soldier, or even money and food, to come here, and they will either starve to death or die in battle, the result known from the day he led the army many years ago,
"Don't talk about this, anyway, there is no endless road." She smiled slightly, "Sang Zhe, I brought rice cakes, go dig some wild vegetables to make a soup for everyone." "In any case, you have to eat and drink enough to fight with peace of mind,
"Obey the Mistress." When they heard that there was something to eat, the soldiers who had been hungry for a long time suddenly became happy, and they all started a fire to cook.
"Wanwan, you know why you are still here?" An Youju pulled her aside and asked, now she doesn't care about the concealment and deception she once had, everything between life and death is a trivial matter,
"What are you going to do if I don't come? Are you really going to die here? "She can't watch him die, even if everything is a drop in the bucket, she can't make huge waves in this vast sea,
"From the day I went to the battlefield, I knew that there would be such a day, the horse leather shroud, before I could return home!" There is no regret in his death, but now he can't die, and he can't pull her along,
"Very good, very nice lad." Gao Wanyue patted him on the shoulder and cast an approving gaze, like an old man's praise for the younger generation,
"Tonight, I'm telling you seriously." Seeing her hippie smile and not worried, she was a little annoyed, she always acted according to her own momentary likes and dislikes, completely ignoring how dangerous it was, and didn't even care about her own life,
"It's all here, what else can I do?" She was ready to look like she wouldn't admit it, anyway, now she walked in, trapped in the city, and there were enemy troops outside, could she still have a wing?
"Tomorrow, I will lead my army to break through and send someone to escort you
Get out. "Even if there are difficulties and obstacles ahead, you have to fight a bloody way to send her back to Yecheng safely,
"Then why am I here?" She looked at An Youju in surprise, "Then I'm here to let so many people die for me?" "She came here to help him solve the dilemma in front of him, even if she can't do anything, she can die with him.
"If only you knew!" looked at her sternly, since it was destined to be a road of no return, then he had to go alone, this was never a very easy road, "Do you know that those people you brought may not have seen blood in their lives!" "Since they are guards who have been trained in the hotbed of the imperial court far from the battlefield, they do not know the danger here, and the slightest carelessness will kill them.
"I knew that all I could do was give them enough money to be kind to my family." She also asked them what they meant, and if they really didn't want to, she would force them to come here.
"How can money be used to buy lives!" She is very extreme, the more she can't understand it, she only knew that she was willful in the past, but she didn't expect that there are more extremes now, even if His Majesty gave up on them and gave up this city, he never resented it, because this is the decision that the rulers should have, and they are ready to sacrifice at any time, but they are a little reluctant to her.
"For the number of people who can't eat, sometimes money is more important than life, and in this troubled world, human life is inherently worthless!" Human life is like an ant, in the harem, and on the battlefield.
"No matter what, tomorrow, we must go!" He knew that he couldn't say anything about her, and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu was not her opponent, so he had already made a decision for her.
"An Youju, I'll have to fight with you." She rolled up her sleeves and looked ready to start theorizing with him, very confident, because she would win this sophistry,
"Huh? Wanwan, didn't you promise me not to wear men's clothes again? Gao Wanyue was stunned in place, looking at herself in light clothes, in order to avoid those unnecessary troubles, she was dressed like this, and her hair was all on her head.
Suddenly like a deflated ball, he knew that he was at a loss, and it was not easy to show it again, "Isn't this a special situation?" This is all a men's barracks, and the situation is so critical, where else can I care about dressing up! ”
"Well, there is some truth." He nodded thoughtfully, carefully reminisced about her words, and saw that he was moved, so he didn't mention what happened just now, just be able to get by.
"Let's eat." Seeing that it had already begun, he pulled him over, the conditions in this city were poor, and there was not much to eat, so he dug up the only wild vegetables and threw them into the soup, adding a little warmth to the cold weather.
Three days ago, the Great Wei Emperor Yuan Qin's illness suddenly worsened, and he couldn't afford to be sick on the bed, so he had no choice but to order the King of Qi and Yuwentai to lead the state affairs, Yuan Qin's serious illness did not affect their withdrawal, but sent more people to besiege a small Xuancheng,
In this way, the intention is clear
Obviously, he wants the life of this Megatron general, doesn't he Gao Yang understand this truth, there are no generals in the court who can deter foreign enemies, how can they support it,
"Late, late." An Youju took off his armor and stood on top of the city tower with her, looking at the cloud-covered Great Wei army opposite, it seemed that there were 10,000? It's still 20,000 horses, dense and can't be seen clearly and can't be counted, the bright moon hangs high, above the sky,
He took her arm lightly and looked at the beacon fire on the other side, how could they get out of the situation without a successor and no help?
"Look," the dark scene on the other side was unknown, "I've never seen so many people!" "All the people are in a depressing atmosphere, this is the feeling of suffocation, just feel crowded, upset to watch,
"Are you scared?" She leaned on An Youju's arms, her heart was at ease, she only felt warm, even if she didn't know what the road would be tomorrow, she would not be afraid,
"Don't be afraid." The reason why people are afraid is because of the fear of the unknown, and now Gao Wanyue has no fear, and has even thought about the worst, so she will not feel frightened.
"I'll negotiate peace tomorrow." There is only one way to die, because winning more with less definitely does not happen in such a state of exhaustion, you can only beg for reconciliation.
"Peace?" He stared at her blankly, he had never negotiated peace with others, he had always defeated others to the point that he could not be defeated, and finally he had such a day,
"yes, there's a bargaining chip now." Negotiation and trading are similar, they all have to pay a price, it is nothing more than land reparations, so what is there, it has happened in thousands of years of history, and it is not worth making a fuss at all.
"Le Gongzi, will be reconciled from it, that is, me!" She can't go as the eldest princess of Leyang, if she is discovered, she can be detained, as a bargaining chip, the woman has become a captive, I am afraid that it is the most painful thing, at that time waiting for her is only one death, anyway, which way is to die, it is better to fight,
"No, you can't go, if someone knows your identity, do you know the consequences?" After Hua Chen's death, few people knew her identity, but once it was known by the people of Great Wei, it was impossible to escape, and he was not sure that he could rescue her among so many enemy troops.
"I know that the latest is death, no matter what, I have to choose, the most appropriate way to die." People may die, maybe they will die peacefully surrounded by their children and grandchildren in a hundred years, or they will die as heroically as they do now, but as long as one person can live, she hopes it will be him! "I've made up my mind, and I can't change it."
"Late, late." Hold her tighter, and who can help her here? No, she has no reinforcements, she can only rely on herself, 'throw herself into the land of death and survive, fall into the place of death and live,' she understands this truth, so she has to try it today, she can't just die without fighting anything, even if she tries, she has done it, and she will not regret it.
A long, long time ago, when she stood on the city tower with a man, the night was cold, the wolf smoke was grinning, looking at the northern frontier smoke from afar, listening to the summer night showers, what the man said to her, and the elegant but contemptuous smile on his lips, all of this was like yesterday, and he was also looking at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and wanted to include it in his hands.
"Young Turk, listen, even if the future of tomorrow is unknown, you have to be ready to leave at any time, and I will leave them to you!" I don't know where I'm going, and she can't save the lives of the rest of the people.
This night is also the last feast they have for each other, immersed in a moment of joy and unable to extricate themselves, maybe after tonight, they will be separated forever, but at least at this moment they are still by each other's side,
An Youju dressed her in a silver-gray silk brocade, and blindfolded her eyes with an equally silver-gray silk silver belt, her smoky eyes were too obvious, if someone found out, they would know her identity,
Leaving a kiss on her lips, "Young Couple, I don't know how long I can delay with my three-inch incorruptible tongue, you see the right time to take them away, return to Yecheng, and return to Qi Kingdom." ”
was deprived of sight, unconsciously clenched An Youjue's hand, so that when she was insecure, she could only bear it alone, and it was not completely invisible, she could still see the scenery outside through the silk thread that passed through the warp and weft, but she couldn't see the face clearly, and she could only ensure that she didn't trip over.
"I'm gone, young boy, take care of yourself!" All she can do has been done, the rest can only be left to fate, do her best, listen to the destiny of heaven, this parting is more like a cherished word, maybe we can never see each other again, from now on, heaven and man will say goodbye.
"Wait for me!" If he can return to Yecheng, he will definitely be afraid of sending troops to bring her back, and he will not let her be in dire straits, she yearns for freedom and unrestrainedness, rather than being at the mercy of others.
