Chapter 281: The Price
About half an hour passed.
The old man finally removed all the blood scabs on Zhu Chen's body.
Then, he gently wiped it with a cotton cloth, until he wiped his grandson clean, and the old man smiled bitterly: "Stinky boy, I wanted you to send your grandfather to the end, but I didn't expect your grandfather to send you to the end, you, it's really unfilial." ”
"In the end, it's still grandpa alone."
"Okay, just let me be a loner, I don't have anything to ask for in my life, I made our old Zhu family's own rebellion, maybe this is retribution?"
"Hahaha." The old man laughed sadly, his eyes were rosy.
"But, God, you want retribution, retribution on me, what does it matter to my grandson?"
Zhu Di touched Zhu Chen's face: "He is a good boy, he doesn't want his life for the country and the people, how many people in Daming have to thank him?" ”
"Said ten days, he guarded until the ninth day, and killed until the last moment."
The old man's sadness will not be seen.
On weekdays, outside, the old man didn't show the slightest sadness, but when he was alone with Zhu Chen, he always cried sadly.
The scenes of the past haunted his heart, and the old man's heart was also broken in half.
"The battle was won, but the grandson was gone." Zhu Di smiled bitterly.
If so, what do I want to do with this victory?
In the room, the white candles burned to the end, and the candle oil slipped off and solidified again.
In this sad atmosphere, the old man sat alone in front of his grandson's bed, silent.
Even if his back is still straight, it is lonely at the moment.
Until, suddenly, there was a sound outside.
"Marshal, Liu Rong, the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, asks to see you!"
The soldiers guarding the town outside are reporting to the inside of the room at this moment.
When Zhu Di heard this, he stretched out his sleeve and wiped his tears, changed his face to a dignified look, stood up from the side of the bed, and ordered, "Let him come in." ”
The old man's weakness is not visible to anyone!
"Yes!" The soldiers outside nodded.
After a while, Liu Rong, the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, gently pushed open the door.
The old man was standing there, and beside the old man was Zhu Chen, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
When Liu Rong saw this scene, his eyes became more and more moist.
After he fell unconscious, the old man arrived, rescued him and forty-two other soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, and called a military doctor to treat him.
Liu Rong's injuries were also serious, but none of them were fatal, so by this morning, he had woken up.
When he woke up, he learned that Da Ming had won a big victory.
The valley of life and death was guarded until the last moment, and the main force of Mahamu was completely annihilated.
For nine days, the Shenji Battalion was on guard until the evening of the ninth day!
Excited, Liu Rong laughed heartily, but when asked about the head of the Zhu case, the soldiers all kept silent and stopped talking.
Liu Rong realized something, and almost forced it to learn the truth.
So, he came as soon as possible.
After seeing Zhu Chen's pale face and seeing that he couldn't open his eyes anymore, Liu Rong's tears blurred his vision.
He yelled loudly and slammed his fist desperately on his chest that had just recovered from his serious injury: "It's me who is incompetent, it's me who is incompetent!" ”
A middle-aged man, who followed the Yongle Emperor and fought for eleven years, can be regarded as an old general, but now he is beating his chest frantically and scolding himself for being incompetent.
"It's my fault."
"It's my fault......"
"If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have charged, and he wouldn't have died in the midst of hosts."
Liu Rong burst into tears, tears flowed down his face, and slid into his neck little by little.
"I'm a veteran general who has fought for eleven years, but it's my fault that I want a child to charge......"
"I'm incompetent, I'm incompetent, I'm waste, I'm waste!" Liu Rong pounded his chest frantically.
When he looked at Dashuai again, Liu Rong's eyes were full of guilt.
His fists clenched, his hands at a loss.
He is an old general who followed the battle of Jingjing, how can he not know who this person standing in front of him is?
At first, he didn't react to Zhu Chen's identity, but now that he saw the big handsome wiping his body for him, Liu Rong understood.
It turned out that when he first set out on the expedition, the marshal put him by Zhu Chen's side just to let him protect Zhu Chen.
It's a pity that he has only now come to his senses.
After a long time, he whispered: "Emperor, I'm sorry ......"
"I didn't guard him for you."
Zhu Di looked at him and shook his head: "It's not your fault, this path was chosen by this kid of my family." ”
"He chose to be a hero, he chose to die for the country, he was a big hero, a big hero, and he died a well-deserved death!"
"The old Zhu family's country naturally has to be guarded by the old Zhu family themselves."
After saying that, Zhu Di sighed and helped the old general up from the ground.
Liu Rong refused.
Stubbornly kneeling.
Zhu Di frowned: "What are you doing here?" ”
In the old man's heart, Liu Rong is also a meritorious man.
Liu Rong burst into tears, knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and roared angrily: "I killed the eldest grandson of the Ming Emperor, I didn't guard him for the Ming Dynasty, this is a heinous crime, he is still lying on the bed, how can I get up?" ”
The guilt in his heart made him afraid to get up.
He threw up his hands in the air and bowed.
Zhu Di looked at him, was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand: "Whatever you want, you kneel." ”
With that, Zhu Di turned around and left.
Liu Rong was the only one left, still stubbornly kneeling, kneeling in front of the young man's bed.
……
Consciousness is gradually awakening.
Zhu Chen's eyelids moved, and he wanted to open them, but it was extremely difficult, and he couldn't even open them at all.
What's going on?
I'm not dead?
Am I still alive?
Since I'm still alive, why can't I open my eyes?
Just then, he heard a voice in his ear.
"The news that you charged with thirty horsemen has spread all over the army."
"Now, no one in the army does not mention you, and they admire you."
"It is said that heroes are born of teenagers, I thought that King Han was already very brave, but you are more courageous than him."
"If you wake up, you will hear that there are many soldiers in the army singing your praises."
"Now, they all think of you as a god of war."
"The military doctor said that you can only survive until you return to Beijing, but I don't believe it, I don't know if you can still live......
The voice.
It seems to be Liu Rong's?
Although Zhu Chen couldn't hear or move, he could hear it.
This is a very wonderful realm, as if a person is dying, returning to the light.
The military doctor said that I could only survive until I returned to Beijing?
Zhu Chen was shocked in his heart, and suddenly thought of a lot in his heart.
If I can only live until I return to Beijing, how sad will my aunt be when she finds out?
What about Shen Qingqiu? I'm not going to just die on my front foot and she'll follow on my back foot.
At that time, they will really become a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks.
There are so many partners in Ying Tianfu......
Zhu Chen smiled bitterly, he was famous, but he died.
Isn't this the same as a person who is dead, and the money has not been spent?
That's a bit of a loss.
Zhu Chen smiled helplessly in his heart, it seems that if you want to be a big hero, you have to pay a price......
