Rong Zhao stood at the door, looking at his back, his heart twitched, feeling that he was so pitiful and helpless.

Nighthawk brought out the rice again, shook his head at Rong Zhao, and said in a low voice, "The prince still doesn't eat it." ”

Rong Zhao waved him down, "Don't bring it, he won't eat it today." ”

She entered the room, took off her shoes and sat next to Xiao Junjue.

Xiao Junjue's hair was untied, scattered, and a little messy.

Rong Zhao's hand slowly combed his hair, his hair was fine, grasping between his fingers, silky like satin.

She held his head in her arms and pressed her face against his, "I don't blame you, it's the Sunrise people, they are cruel and murderous, it's not your fault." ”

Rong Zhao's tears slipped down his cheeks, and there were firm tears flickering, "We, we will definitely avenge them, Sunrise, one day we will get out of the territory of Great Zhou, we will definitely make them pay, definitely." ”

The curtain of the bed swayed gently, the flames on the wax core jumped with the wind, and the room was very quiet, as if there were stacks of water floating. After a while, Xiao Junjue raised her hand and slowly hugged her, and then tightened it up little by little. It seems that in Rong Zhao's arms, his heart has just found a little support, this embrace is so warm and fulfilling, it makes him have an illusion, as if he is back in the arms of his mother.

After a long time, he spoke, and he didn't say anything for a day, his voice was a little dry, low and deep, full of shame, "It's me who is useless." ”

Rong Zhao stroked his face, "I don't allow you to say such things, it's not your responsibility to do all of this." It's the sunrise, it's that Ah Shi Zhu, I really don't blame you. ”

On the battlefield, it is the place with the most dead people, Xiao Junjue has been fighting for many years and has seen too many dead people. However, this time all the people who died were unarmed and had no strength to resist, 300,000, 300,000 people, as long as you think about it, it seems that 300,000 corpses will appear in front of you.

There were Rong Zhao's soft words in his ears to soothe, and unconsciously, Xiao Junjue's heart gradually calmed down. He didn't let go of Rong Zhao, but hugged him tighter and tighter.

"Ah Shi Zhu, I must let you break your corpse into ten thousand pieces, I must let Sunrise become extinct in this world, I must raze Sunrise. Even when he was asleep, he still couldn't put it down, and whispered in his sleep.

Rong Zhao smoothed his furrowed brows and gently kissed him on the forehead.

His arms were strong and strong, hugging him tightly, and Rong Zhao felt for the first time that Xiao Junjue needed her. This feeling of being needed is so good that it gives her a sense of satisfaction.

Xiao Junjue slept unsteadily this night, and woke up not long after.

"Why are you going?" he woke up as soon as he moved.

"You go to sleep first, I'll go outside. "I didn't go out of the room for a day, Xiao Junjue wanted to walk outside and take a walk. She patted Rong Zhao's back and said softly, "Sleep, I'll be back in a while." ”

Rong Zhao closed his eyes, and he walked out of the room wearing a thin trench coat.

Fengcheng Taishou is very good at enjoying it, the regulation of the Taishou Mansion has surpassed the official residence of the ordinary Taishou, Xiao Junjue doesn't want the huge Taishou Mansion to meet Gu Jinfeng.

His face changed slightly.

Gu Jinfeng also saw him, and got up, "King Chu." ”

Xiao Junjue let out a faint "um", but there was no follow-up.

Knowing that King Chu had always been like this, Gu Jinfeng was relieved after a short period of embarrassment.

The two stood side by side, separated by a distance of one zhang, Gu Jinfeng felt that even if he was a zhang away, he could still feel the chill emanating from King Chu's body.

Or did Gu Jinfeng break the deadlock first, "What is the prince expected to do next?"

Xiao Junjue glanced at him, showed no mercy, and said bluntly: "If you are not in your position, you don't want to seek your own politics, Fourth Young Master Gu shouldn't inquire about this." ”

Gu Jinfeng could feel Xiao Junjue's hostility, he had a gentle temperament, he was not unhappy, and the smile on his lips was still gentle, "King Chu has his own furrow in his heart, and it is Jinfeng who has said a lot." ”

He looked up at the moon, the night sky was dark, there was no star, the moon was in the sky, and there was a circle of cotton yarn around the moon, hazy, as if there was a moon outside the moon. Gu Jinfeng said meaningfully: "Fengcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it has a shortcoming, the terrain is low-lying, and half of it can be submerged in a heavy rain. ”

Xiao Junjue followed his gaze to look at the night sky, Gu Jinfeng smiled lightly, and waved towards him again, "It's late at night, rest first, and the prince will settle it early." ”

He walked past Xiao Junjue indifferently and said to himself: "There is a moon outside the moon, and the fish are floating on the surface, it's really hot these days, it's unusually hot." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Junjue looked at the pond, and sure enough, he saw that there were fish floating on the surface of the pond to breathe, his clear eyes flashed slightly, and then the gloomy clouds between his eyebrows dimmed and opened up.

Looking sideways, there was only a back of a corner of clothes left in the corner, and his mind gradually calmed down.

On the second day, the king of Chu marched in the direction of Yangcheng with his army, and Rong Zhao stayed in Fengcheng and did not accompany the army.

The weather has been getting more and more stuffy in the past two days, and it is not yet summer, and it is unusual to have such a sultry weather. Rong Zhao leaned on the window and looked at the willow trees in the yard in a daze.

"Sister Zhao. Rong Zhaosi continued to fly around, and after a few knocks on the door, it was Gu Jinfeng's voice, she was sitting in a precarious position, and called in.

"Are you worried about the King of Chu?" Gu Jinfeng saw the sadness between her eyebrows, and knew that she cared about the King of Chu, and held a box of osmanthus cakes in front of her. He looked out the window, the sky was red like fire, and he said, "It's going to rain." ”

A swallow passed in front of the window, low coiled on the ground, Rong Zhao sighed softly, "The rain is not conducive to the march, and I don't know what will happen to him?"

Gu Jinfeng's gentle gaze fell on her, the smile on his lips contained a touch of bitterness, he thought he could let go, but he underestimated his feelings for Rong Zhao, he carefully hid this feeling quietly in the depths of his heart, not letting people know, not wanting to mention it, and even wanting to hide.

But when he heard her running to the front line, he couldn't bear his heart, for fear that there would be a mistake, and he would be confused all day long, and his heart hung on her.

Knowing that his uncle-in-law sent Rong Yao to come, he volunteered to accompany him, thinking that although he had no power to fight, if Sister Zhao was in danger, he could also stand by her side and resist her, even if there was another person around her to protect her.

How much Sister Zhao likes King Chu, he can see it. But he was not jealous, but relieved, and glad that Sister Zhao had found someone he loved.

But my heart is still sour, as if I had eaten wild fruit······

"The King of Chu is eloquent and resourceful, and it is not a problem to take Yangcheng. Gu Jinfeng looked at the flying insects outside the window, a storm was coming.

Xiao Junjue marched into Yangcheng, but did not adopt an offensive strategy at the first time, but also avoided Hualing Mountain, thirty miles away from Yangcheng. Condescending, as if the city of the sun is at the foot.

He ordered the soldiers to build a river embankment in the upper reaches of the river in the mountains with sandbags, and everyone was puzzled by the move of the king of Chu, but no one dared to question it, and they all obeyed his orders.

Rong Yao followed him, and Xiao Junjue gave him the opportunity to take people to a nearby town to buy fire oil, and kept the matter a secret. Buying a large amount of fire oil will inevitably attract attention, and Xiao Junjue is afraid that Sunrise will send spies into other towns, so he has to act in secret. Although Rong Yao is frivolous and disorganized, he is flexible, his brain turns quickly, he wants to buy in large quantities, and he is not noticed, he has a way.

"Lord, when will we send troops?" Nighthawk was in a hurry, hoarding the mountain for several days, the prince did not give an order, and the weather was unusually hot and sultry these days, and there were mosquitoes everywhere, and the bite was full of bags, and he couldn't sleep well.

Xiao Junjue was looking at the river embankment map, opened her eyelids and looked at the nighthawk whose face was full of anxiety, frowned slightly, and said, "You have followed this king for many years, when did you become so frizzy?"

Nighthawk's expression paused slightly, scratched the back of his neck, his expression was angry, and said: "These days, the subordinates hate so much in their hearts, not only the subordinates, but also the people in the army, everyone is waiting for revenge. He glanced at Xiao Junjue, "But the prince has been delayed in sending troops, and he has asked people to build a river embankment, and everyone doesn't understand why the prince wants to do this?"

Nighthawk was solemn, "Lord Wang, when will we go to attack Sunrise, now that Yangcheng has been slaughtered, the brothers have no scruples, they have to fight to the death with their lives against the group of beasts at Sunrise." As long as you give an order, the brothers will put aside their lives and deaths and die with the Sunrise Army. Solemnly bowed his hand, and he begged: "Lord, you can give the order." ”

"Revenge is not the same end, that is the most stupid thing to do. Xiao Junjue's cold eyes swept gently towards him, and the nighthawk was silent.

Xiao Junjue put away the river embankment map and walked out of the account, followed by Nighthawk. Xiao Junjue looked at the sky and said, "The right time, the right place and the right people are all indispensable, and now we only have to see if the will of heaven can help us." ”

"Providence?" Nighthawk was confused and looked at the night sky, but he didn't know what to look at.

"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, it depends on whether this mountain rain can borrow me to go down to Yang City. Xiao Junjue looked at the nighthawk who was looking at the sky stupidly, raised his hand at him, beckoned to his side, and said in his ear: "You lead two teams of people to the west of the gourd valley overnight to meet Rong Yao and ambush there, where the oil and rockets have been prepared, and the army that is waiting for the sunrise to pass by, take a fire attack, and give them a cremation." ”

Hearing this, Nighthawk instantly radiated and bowed deeply towards Xiao Junjue, "Subordinates receive orders." ”

Xiao Junjue looked at Nighthawk's impatient appearance, and couldn't help but laugh. There was a muffled thunder on the horizon, and he looked up.

Sure enough, the storm was coming, and it rained that night, and the storm was not common in this season, and the old people here said that there had been such a celestial phenomenon fifty years ago. Perhaps, this is not a simple rain, but the 300,000 lonely souls in Yangcheng crying in the sky, or maybe God is angry and crying for the 300,000 people.

The storm fell for three days and three nights, and on the morning of the fourth day it was full of brilliance, and the sun rose from the east as if it were a new life, and the golden light covered the land of the northern plains.

The rain washed away the muddy blood on the ground of Yangcheng, and also turned Yangcheng into a ruin.
