Chapter 485: The Painting Left Behind
"Du Ren."
Shen Huai interrupted him.
"Do you know why I'm standing here?"
Du Ren, who was robbed, didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to shake his head honestly.
"About nine years ago, the first time I met the prince on the battlefield, it was when I was in a desperate situation."
Hearing the word "prince", Du Ren and his spirit suddenly perked up, although he didn't know what the general was doing at this time, but he subconsciously listened very seriously.
"At that time, the Zhenbei Army was not as strong as it is now, and Wang Ye and I were still only joining the army. In the Lima Ice Field, he was ambushed by Biluolie, and he was on the line between life and death. ”
"At that time, the sixteen-year-old prince brought more than a dozen people, led away most of the chasing soldiers for me, and asked me to go back to Liangzhou to move the rescue soldiers."
Du Ren gasped.
"The ice field is at least two days away from the nearest garrison in Liangzhou."
"yes."
The corners of Shen Huai's mouth still had that literati-like smile.
"I thought he was crazy, but before I could say anything against it, he rushed out with someone. So I had to listen to him, and galloped back to Liangzhou with the rest of the soldiers. ”
"The house leak happened to rain overnight, and it snowed again in Liangzhou, which was rare in a century, and the road was rugged and difficult to walk. By the time I returned to the place where I had been separated with the large army, five days had passed. ”
"Lord, how did the prince get out of trouble?"
"Get out of trouble?"
Shen Huai seemed to have heard some joke.
"Now that you have been leading troops to fight for so many years, do you think that fighting a war is child's play? There are only more than ten people, even if all of them are elites, but with an army of thousands of barbarians, do you really think that the prince will not be able to fly? ”
"Huh? So what happened then. ”
Shen Huai narrowed his eyes, revealing a slightly nostalgic look.
The prince took the dozen people and hid under the ice cave. Half of my body was in ice water, I didn't eat or drink, I couldn't move, and I just survived for four days. ”
Du Ren's eyes widened.
"How can this survive?"
"It's true that nearly half of them couldn't hold on and froze to death. But the remaining half of the people, including the prince, although they only had one breath left when we found them, they all really survived. ”
"At that time, the prince's consciousness was even very sober, and I couldn't help but ask him: How did you hold on to your ears?"
The sixteen-year-old boy slowly blinked his beautiful eyebrows and said word by word.
"You're amazing, I'm willing to believe you once."
He said this to his comrades-in-arms who persisted in the ice cave with him many times, that people are very magical, and after having hope, they can be fearless of all difficulties and dangers.
Du Ren was speechless for a long time, feeling the hot blood flowing in his chest.
Shen Huai stood on the city tower, and now Hebei City was embattled on all sides, like a trapped beast stuck in a quagmire. It is very similar to the situation of the prince back then.
"Du Ren, the prince is a person who can really compete in the world and seal the town. I believe in the prince very much, and this belief is far more firm than the prince who was waiting for me to go at that time. ”
Shen Huai looked at the distant horizon and said leisurely.
"So don't be discouraged, we're not at the end of the day......"
His voice cut off suddenly.
Du Ren hurriedly looked over.
At the end of Shen Huai's line of sight, in the distant sky, a red firework exploded, and it was fleeting.
"That's ......"
"Du Ren."
Shen Huai's voice suddenly became urgent.
"Yes!"
"Go and inform the soldiers and prepare to evacuate Hebei City."
Although Du Ren was shocked, but the military order was like a mountain, he didn't ask a word, turned around and ran.
The moment he turned sideways, he grabbed a handful of fireworks embers out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly remembered the past incident that General Shen had just said.
That night, along with the signal arrows scattered on the territory of the north, the transfer troops that Shen Huai had not been able to ask for before also seemed to have received some signal, and rushed to Hebei City overnight.
They did not go on this trip to defend the city, but only to answer.
Dawn came, exactly three days.
By the time the sky was completely dawn, He Beicheng had already gone to the empty city.
Having lost the territory of a city, the barbarian invasion could no longer be hidden, and spread from the north to the capital like wings. It caused a lot of panic.
But the people panicked for a while, and in the afternoon, the court spread the news that Xuanyuan Ye was not dead.
The king of Zhenbei, who was almost half-footed on the altar, even rode a tall horse and walked on the most prosperous Suzaku Street in the city.
So there is a scene in the city that is now full of lights.
Shangguan Li tilted his head sideways and pulled back the thoughts of running away.
"That's a good thing, just beware of those in the shadows who are taking advantage of the chaos right now."
Tianji took the wine from Situ's hand and said when he heard the words.
"Rest assured, the county lord has been placed under martial law in the city according to your orders. Once someone makes trouble, we can quickly follow the vine to the background and direct. ”
Shangguan Li nodded and glanced at the sky.
The rain is not over, but there is a ray of sunset on the horizon.
Since it's sunset, tomorrow should be a good day.
"It's almost time, you guys go."
Tianxuan immediately stood up, and Tianji hurriedly took a half-bottle of the flask in his arms, and then handed it back to Xitu.
"Then let's go first, the county lord is in the capital, be careful."
"Okay, let's go."
As soon as her voice fell, the two of them disappeared in place.
Situ stared blankly at the empty place, placed the flask on the table full of food, and scratched his head.
"Are you in such a hurry, you don't even have time to eat."
Shangguan Li took over.
"Regardless of them, it is estimated that even if they stay, they will not know what to eat. It's better to go out of town and wait one step ahead. ”
"Oh...... Sister, aren't you going to send off the prince? ”
Shangguan Li glanced at her.
"What to send, are we on good terms?"
Isn't that good? People have given all their people to you.
Of course, Situ could only say such a sentence silently in his heart, and did not dare to really say it.
"If you're worried about my kung fu, you might as well care about the two little kids in the corner first."
Fake Kidney: "......"
No way, this is the boss, I can't say.
The real little kid didn't know why, except for the impatience he showed at the beginning, and the occasional conversation with Lian, he remained silent the rest of the time.
Hearing Shangguan Li's words, he only snorted faintly, and didn't intend to say anything to refute it.
Situ sighed inwardly.
Neither of these kids is cute.
Shangguan Li stood up, took two large plates of pastries from the table, and walked away.
"Eat, I'll go back to my room first. Rest early after eating, and start tomorrow, it may be very busy. ”
After saying that, he left the lobby and returned to his room.
