Volume 2 Strife Chapter 28 The Death of the Nation Is Near
The figure on the city wall flickered, and in an instant, it jumped in front of the only three people in the car circle, and the reinforcements finally arrived.
Zhang Fan raised his body with difficulty and looked at the city wall, the figure flickered, dozens of people appeared on the city wall one after another, the hundred-zhang high city wall climbed down, and jumped up again near the ground and fell to the place where the three of them were.
It's just that the first person fell, stepped on Zhang Fan's chest and abdomen with one foot, rolled to the side in an instant, and Zhang Fan, who fell to the ground weakly, spurted blood from his mouth again after this kick, and then fell unconscious as soon as the corners of his eyes were black.
Before he fell unconscious, he faintly saw that it was a bearded man who stepped on him, and after stepping on him, the bearded man seemed to feel bad, suddenly shrank his legs, rushed forward, and fell a dog gnawing mud.
Before he fell into a coma, he seemed to hear the voice of the royal woman shouting, and then Zhang Fan fell into a coma.
Zhang Fan was also unlucky, the big river was waded through, but he fell at a small stream.
The royal woman saw that Zhang Fan's aided person stepped on the chest and abdomen and spurted blood and fell unconscious, hurriedly walked forward, reached out to feel Zhang Fan's pulse, and found that Zhang Fan was only unconscious, so she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the big man who was getting up from the ground and said: "Team Leader Qin, when will you stop being so reckless." After saying that, he sighed again.
At this time, dozens of people in the rear came to meet the two royal families, one of them was an old man with a crane hair and a childish face, holding a sword, looking at the surrounding royal corpses and saying: "Chen Zongze, I have seen Princess Taiping, I am too late, capital crime." ”
Princess Taiping got up and looked at Zong Ze and said: "Other matters will be discussed later, Xiang Nantian is still fighting with a beast clan, you send someone over and capture him alive, I want to ask the internal response." Without internal response, it would be impossible for the Orc Clan to enter the formation of our Terran Imperial City. ”
Zong Ze bowed and said, "Yes, princess." Then he waved his hand to the rear, and half of the dozens of people behind him were divided, and rushed forward to the place where Nantian and the gray wolf were fighting.
At this time, Zong Ze said to Princess Taiping: "Please wait for the princess and the thirteen princes to return to the palace with me, now the capital is in chaos, and only the palace is safe." ”
Princess Taiping looked at the imperial brother behind her, although the war had stopped at this time, and she was not afraid when she was fighting, but at this time she was trembling when she looked at the surrounding corpses, and she couldn't help frowning when she saw this scene, and then looked at Zong Ze and said, "Take this person, let's go back to the palace." As he spoke, he pointed at Zhang Fan, then pulled the young man behind him and took the lead towards the city gate.
---
In the imperial study of the palace, the black decoration is slightly gray, just like the mood of the owner at this time.
Behind the bookcase, there sat a man who looked to be only in his forties, but with a full head of hair.
His face was full of grief and indignation, and he looked at the folds on the bookcase. It's just that from his figure that has not moved for a long time, people with a heart can see that his inner peace is not at peace.
Outside the door of the imperial study, there is a person standing, he is Xiao Han in the internal history.
At this time, he was listening to the report of his subordinates, this report he had heard three times, the royal family who went to the three city gates to worship their ancestors, all of them died, although the people who supported the way also wiped out the beasts, but what was the point of that.
He went in and reported it twice, in exchange for His Majesty's divine wounds and blood, and then drove everyone out of the imperial study, leaving His Majesty alone.
The door of the imperial study was opened, and when the third subordinate came down to report that no one was alive in the ancestral royal family of Ximen, he felt bad in his heart, but he did not dare to continue to go to the imperial study to report.
When something happened to the ancestor worship team, he had already asked his subordinates to mobilize the alchemists and monks who could be mobilized to support, but there was a sudden riot in the city, frantically blocking the people who went to support, and when everyone arrived, the incident was irreparable, and the royal family in the three places were all destroyed, he only hoped that someone at the south gate would survive, and His Majesty would still have blood.
Finally, when the men who went to the south gate arrived, Xiao Han was panicked when he saw this person's sad expression, and hurriedly grabbed the person who came and whispered: "What's the matter, can anyone survive?" ”
The person who came said in a low voice with a crying voice: "My lord, when Zong Ze arrived, only Princess Taiping and the thirteenth prince survived, so all the guards he brought were killed, and Dongfang Sheng used a broken sword to save the princess, and he also went." After saying that, he sobbed on the side.
Xiao Han listened to the words of my subordinates, was stunned for a moment, and then realized that there were still two survivors in the royal family.
Xiao Han stretched out his hands and rubbed his face, looking at the man behind the bookcase in the imperial study.
The man was full of gorgeous hair, only less than forty years old, but his body was rickety, at this time a person looked at the folds on the bookcase, but he couldn't put down the pen for a long time, the brush and ink in his hand had dried, and there was no ink dripping for a long time, the pain in the man's heart at this time must be very heavy, but he was the emperor, but no one could say that all the state and family affairs had to be borne by himself, and no one could share them.
In the court, he was His Majesty, called a lonely widow.
At home, he is a father, kind and kind.
But to whom can he speak of the burden of his burden?
Xiao Han didn't want to disturb this man's thoughts, but at this time, the war was decided, and he had to report it.
Xiao Han glanced at His Majesty who was still lying at the desk and pretending to review the folds, and then stretched out his hands again and rubbed his cheeks to make himself more sober, and then stepped into the imperial study.
Xiao Han came to the bookcase, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is news here." He didn't have to kneel down to reply, but he really didn't know how to answer at this point.
Xiao Han's words seemed to alarm the water in the pond, and slowly spread to the full house of the study.
After stopping for a long time, it was like coming back to my senses. The man behind the bookcase raised his head, looked at Xiao Han, slowly put down the brush in his hand, and then said, "Say." ”
Xiao Han raised his head and looked at the man behind the bookcase, and suddenly didn't know how to speak.
The man behind the bookcase waited for a moment and didn't see Xiao Han speak, his expression changed, and he said fiercely: "Say." ”
Xiao Han heard the emperor say this again, and once again bowed to the earth: "Your Majesty, among the royal family of the ancestors at the South Gate, only the Taiping Prince and the Thirteen Princes survived, and the guards were all killed in battle. Simon had no survivors. Xiao Han crawled on the ground and didn't dare to get up, quietly waiting for punishment.
He didn't hear it, but he heard the sound of a quick cough and a heavy object slipping.
After not hearing the emperor's instructions for a long time, Xiao Han slowly raised his head and looked at the bookcase, there was no one behind the bookcase, and then there was a smell of blood, Xiao Han was startled, and immediately got up and shouted: "Pass the imperial doctor, pass the imperial doctor quickly." “
The voice of the Imperial Physician came out, and the palace began to panic.
At this time, the people in the imperial hospital did not leave, they were in the inner officer's room on the side, and His Majesty had vomited blood half an hour ago, but he still refused to rest, and the imperial doctors could not, so they had to wait nearby.
It's just that this time I waited for His Majesty to pass out.
Time is slipping away, His Majesty is still unconscious, and the imperial doctors are still busy.
Facing the cold spring breeze, Princess Taiping stood in front of his emperor's father's bedroom, looking at the palace officials who came in and out from time to time in the courtyard, they were all in a hurry, in and out of a panic.
The thirteenth brother sat on the steps not far away, looking at the direction of the dormitory, but at this time, she didn't want to say anything to him.
She was thinking about her experience, thinking about the presence of her father in the memory of His Majesty the Emperor.
It's just that she thought and thought, inquired and inquired, and suddenly found that she, the father of His Majesty the Emperor, was very vague in her memory, and she couldn't even remember what he looked like.
When I was a child, every time I wanted to see him, I went to ask for a meeting, he was always busy, always discussing, always correcting and correcting, always discussing things with the minister, and I never saw him when I was thinking about him.
And my memory of him is only the annual family reunion.
And he also drank and chatted with his uncles and uncles, and he couldn't take care of himself and his brothers and sisters.
There were even several times when he did not attend the family gathering, and heard that there was a sudden war.
When she grew up, she finally stopped thinking about seeing him, and she began to make her own friends, but once her friends knew that they were princesses and his daughters, they always looked flattering, which was what she learned later, all because of him.
Looking back, I can't tell whether I am resentful, hateful, or respectful to this father.
blames him for ignoring his mother and hates him for not caring about himself. But he had to respect his attitude towards state affairs, and he knew that he couldn't do what he was.
Every time I had a family gathering over the years, I watched him grow old, and when he was less than forty years old, he was already full of gorgeous hair, and he realized that it was the emperor's position that was sucking the marrow from him.
In her deep thought, a male voice woke her up. He looked at the person who came, and the person who came was the person next to his father.
Princess Taiping heard this person's question and asked, "What did you say?" “”
After saluting again, the person came and said, "Princess, Your Majesty has woken up and wants to see you and the Thirteen Princes." “
Princess Taiping nodded and said, "Let's go!" After speaking, he pulled up the thirteen princes at the front steps.
Only then did he walk and ask the man who led the way, "How is my father doing now?" ”
The man walked two steps and stopped, looked at Princess Taiping for a while before saying, "I'm already sober, but it's not very good, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive for a few days." ”
When Princess Taiping and the Thirteen Princes heard the man's answer, they suddenly stopped and said, "Is there no way?" ”
The man replied: "Imperial Doctor Wen, the oldest qualified person in the Tai Hospital, has already seen that Your Majesty has been overworked since he ascended the throne, and he has been lacking in skills. ”
Princess Taiping was silent for a while, and continued to pull the thirteen princes forward, but her face was full of sorrow.
When they finally entered the emperor's dormitory, there was a man with pale hair lying on the couch, which was their father, Emperor Tuo.
Emperor Tuo saw the two of them coming in, and said softly: "Sit down, my father finally can't do things today, and our family can finally sit down and talk about family affairs." After saying that, he started coughing.
The thirteenth prince said: "Father, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and other state ministers will help you share the burden, and it is good to rest for a while." He began to cry.
Princess Taiping looked at the thirteen princes and said, "Shut up, my father needs to recuperate, what to cry about." ”
When the white-haired Emperor Tuo saw this, he sighed and said: "My Qin clan has been the emperor for more than 3,000 years, and now there are only two of your sisters and brothers left in the bloodline, and I am afraid that my father will not be able to accompany you for a long time." ”
