Chapter 308: Prelude to Sadness



more

Yaoguo leads to the capital of Zhaoguo through a border town called Taolong, it is July, it is the annual festival of Taolong Town, but this year's Taolong can not see the slightest lively atmosphere, but a little more bleak and desolate. The first address of the mobile terminal of this mobile phone:

"This year's rain is heavy, and the farmers who mainly cultivate dry land have not had a good harvest, and when the war between the two countries spreads, there is no longer the joyful scene here." The blue-eyed boy who was sitting in the carriage lifted the curtain slightly, and the jade fracture fan pointed at the homeless people outside with dull eyes, "You see, they all fled from Liangshi, the capital of Zhaoguo, to Taolong, and along the way they had to avoid the wanton slaughter of soldiers and starve, and it was already a blessing to survive half of them here, so whether it was a righteous war or an unrighteous war, it was the poor people who were hurt in the end." ”

Looking at the homeless people who seemed to have lost their hearts and sat on the yellow earth, the eyes of the young man who was in the same car showed unbearability and compassion, and his palms that were simply bandaged were clenched into fists: "If it weren't for Boss Ning's charity all the way, probably even these people wouldn't have escaped with their lives, right?" Those high-ranking people only think about fighting for power, and they don't care about the life and death of the people, they only hate that I am not capable of helping these people, if I can stop this war......"

"Brother Fu is looking down on himself?" Ning Xidrunk shook his head and smiled, there was no mockery in his tone, "The whole world is not the king's land, the people of the four seas are not the king's ministers, the monarch and the emperor want to send troops to fight, how can people of Brother Fu interfere?" Don't take all the responsibility for the world's major events on your shoulders, after all, you are just a child. ”

In front of the indifferent and calm Ning Xidrunk, Fu Chu always had an unspeakable feeling, what he couldn't say to outsiders or the emotions that he couldn't show at ordinary times, he could vent to his heart's content at this time. Maybe it's because of this that Fu Chu will say some angry things that even he feels childish, anyway, I'd rather get drunk and understand his thoughts, and will refute him with a smile, but he will never laugh at him or blame him.

Putting down the curtain to isolate the desolate scene outside, Ning Xidrunk pointed to the porcelain bottle in Fu Chu's hand: "Is it time to take medicine?" ”

"Is it already noon? Another day has passed like this, and it is not okay to rush to Liang Shi earlier without speeding up. Fu Chu was half-talking to himself, twisted the cork and poured out two pills and swallowed them, showing a trace of pain on his green face.

On that day, he and Ye Huawan rushed out of the palace to Zhaoguo, and they were chased and killed by unknown people not far from leaving the emperor. Fortunately, when the two of them were almost poisoned, they happened to be found and rescued by Ning Xidrunk and Su Buqi who were passing by, and Ye Huawan, who sprained her ankle, stayed in a farmhouse to recuperate, while Fu Chu continued to rush to Liang Shi under the protection of Ning Xidrunk and Su Buqi.

During the escape, Fu Chu suffered internal injuries, and the soft and weak young man became more and more haggard, but his mood became more and more anxious.

"The Yao Army started attacking the city three days ago, and you can't stop it if you rush over now, and it's not clear whether the fifth prince is still in the Yao Army camp, isn't it reckless to run to death?" Ning Xi was drunk and relieved Fu Chu, unscrewed the cowhide wine bag and drank slowly, "I have been hanging in the territory of Zhaoguo for more than a month, and I have not been able to find a way to enter Liang Shicheng until now, not only that, but even the letter bird released was shot down, which shows how strong the blockade of the remote army is, how can you meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince casually?" ”

Fu Chu gritted his teeth in pain and hissed for a cool breath: "But...... You can't just just watch it! The five princes are scheming and ruthless, and now Sister Bai and His Royal Highness are forced to separate and unable to communicate, so it is inevitable that he will have to calculate. I don't know what the five princes have in mind, but I know that he will never let His Highness and Sister Bai go - such a person with a twisted and crazy personality will definitely torture his opponent before giving him a dead end. ”

Ning Xi was drunk and silent for a moment, did not continue the topic just now, flicked Fu Chu's forehead and said lightly: "Brother Fu, do you remember what the poison doctor senior said to you when he left Qingming Mountain?" He wants you to learn from the prince and the white girl, but do you know what to learn? ”

Fu Chu thought about it and shook his head blankly.

"The senior poison doctor wants you to learn from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's forbearance and composure, and learn the calm and composure of the White Maiden, just like now, you instinctively came up with many better solutions, but you were disturbed by impatience and panic. Brother Fu, try to close your eyes and take a deep breath and relax. ”

Fu Chu closed his eyes according to Ning Xi's drunken guidance, and after a few slow and long deep breaths, there was no sound.

"Don't give up, drive carefully." Ning Xi was drunk and lifted the curtain and whispered to Su Bu, and pointed to the young man leaning on the seat, "I'm too tired, I fell asleep." ”

Su Buqi's face was expressionless as always, slowed down and looked into the distance, and his tone was dull: "I can't help if I go." ”

"Ah, I really can't make a move this time, otherwise it will only make it more difficult for the white girl." After a moment of silence, a decisive glint flashed in his blue eyes. Ning Xidrunk put down the curtain and put his hand on his cheek, and there was some inexplicable firmness in his smiling expression: "Don't give up, if Liang Shicheng is broken, you have to help me rescue the white girl no matter what-I don't want to think too much about it, as long as she lives." ”

Su Buqi, who was driving the carriage, did not answer, as if he had guessed that the result would be so, as calm as a passing breeze.

The wheels roll but time passes, day and night rotate, the sun rises and the moon sets, the war-filled land of Zhaoguo has been stained with blood, the city is constantly wounded, the city is broken bones and stumps, and the rain and blood are blended.

Three days, just three days, the duel between the generals made the battle extremely tragic, the 40,000 troops of the Yao army lost more than forty percent, and Zhaoguo was not much better, one by one the comrades who once charged side by side became cold corpses, lying quietly in the city covered with white cloth. A torrential downpour halted the fighting, and both sides gathered their troops to rest and count, and the endless screams and cries drifted across the gloomy sky, causing people to break down.

In the melee, Qiao Erhe, who followed Yi Chenjing's side and charged, "unfortunately" became a prisoner of war, and was brought to Bai Qige with a blue nose and swollen face.

Before the "Crown Princess ......" could speak, Qiao Erhe couldn't cry anymore, and wiped his tears in front of the Bai family, "How is the crown princess?" Your Highness thinks you are thinking about it tightly, and you call the name of the crown princess in your dreams at night......"

Bai Qige didn't overdo it, her bitter face didn't want to be seen by her family.

He missed, why didn't she? I don't think about food these days, and after seeing him stabbed in the arm with a spear in the city, it is a nightmare every night, that kind of torment and torture, ordinary people will not understand it for a lifetime. Trembling and taking a deep breath, Bai Qige barely squeezed out a smile: "Erhe, don't cry, I'm already happy to see that you're still alive." Is Chenjing's injuries serious? You've come to me, and there's someone around him to take care of him? ”

"Your Highness is not seriously injured, but he is not lightly ill, the wound is inflamed and hot, and he has to take the lead in the battle. Fortunately, a green-eyed man suddenly appeared to take care of His Highness, otherwise where would I be here? ”

The green-eyed man should be talking about Su Jinyan, Bai Qige knew that Su Jinyan had a certain degree of paranoia about Yi Chenjing, and he could rest assured that he would protect Yi Chenjing. It's just that they're all sick like that, why should Yi Chenjing continue to go into battle in person? Is he dying?

Looking at the expression, Qiao Erhe knew what she was confused about, her nose was sour, and her words choked up again: "Your Highness, Your Highness refuses to listen to persuasion, he said that the crown princess will stand at the head of the city every day, and if she goes to war, she can look at it from afar, and he can rest assured when he sees that the crown princess is safe and sound......

Qiao Erhe's voice was not loud but caused silence in the room, Bai Jingfu was holding the teacup in a daze, and Bai Haocheng didn't know what to think of in a daze, but Bai Qige was laughing, with a bitter and sour smile.

They are husband and wife who know each other, but it's hard to even see each other!

Wiping the moist breath from the corners of his eyes, Bai Qige bluntly changed the topic: "Erhe, is there any other news?" I heard that Yi Chenxuan also arrived in the army, what tricks did he want to play? ”

"The prince only met His Highness once on the day he came, and he never saw anyone since. His Royal Highness said that the holy decree he brought was written by the emperor himself, and he couldn't fake it, so now His Highness is also worrying about how to respond. Oh, by the way, His Royal Highness specially asked me to tell the crown princess, don't think about any resignation, His Royal Highness will never write that kind of thing. ”

"If he wanted to write it, he would have written it a long time ago, so why put it off until now?" It is impossible to measure how the throne and her loved one chooses Bai Qige, let alone interfere with Yi Chenjing's decision, but she can't stop herself from thinking, is it better to write a letter of resignation and separate from now on?

Everything started because of her, Yi Chenjing's predicament was also her death, grievances and grievances evolved from a power struggle to a war between the two countries, can she really enjoy his infatuation and loyalty with peace of mind?

Why is the country innocent?

How innocent are the people?

"Brother Qiao is full of injuries, go rub some medicine and rest and rest, and then discuss whether to stay or go back to the Yaojun camp." Bai Haocheng ordered someone to take Qiao Erhe down, looking at Bai Qige's dazed gaze and feeling slightly distressed, he wanted to persuade but didn't know what to say.

What can be said? Let her be ruthless and separate from Yi Chenjing, and then watch her wither to death? Or pat his chest and swear that she was okay, and he was still on top of him when the sky fell?

It's not a child anymore, those ridiculous lies are useless.

After three days of siege, the water and food were cut off, and standing in the palace, you could also hear the shouts of the people who were making trouble outside, everyone could see that the capital was in turmoil, and the status of the Bai family was shaking.

"General Bai, the people outside the palace really can't stop it, what should I do?" The soldiers who rushed in were discouraged, with a few scratches on their faces, embarrassed and helpless.

Bai Haocheng glanced back at Bai Qige, and walked out of the door under the worried gaze of his family, the smile on his lips suddenly became relaxed, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

"Qige, you remember, there is no endless road, no matter what, you have to persevere, for yourself to live well - this is the greatest wish of the second brother's life."
