Wen Qing just felt a little pity in her heart, she couldn't meet Li Zhao earlier in this life, she missed him for so long to meet him in Huai'an City, if there was an afterlife, everything would be better sooner.

Wen Qing's breath became weaker and weaker, her lips became more and more pale, and her eyes were full of pity and reluctance when she looked at Li Zhao:

"There is another thing worth being happy about, I originally planned to wait for everyone to return to Huai'an safely, but unfortunately it was too late."

Li Zhao leaned over and lowered her head, Wen Qing used her last strength to whisper a few words in his ear, her body was very weak, just saying these few words took almost all her strength, her face became more and more pale, and the seal hall was also dyed black.

Li Zhao's body couldn't help but shake after hearing this, Wen Qing raised his hand with difficulty and brushed Li Zhao's hair beard when he almost didn't react, and pulled the hair that looked a little messy a little neater, in her impression Li Zhao has always been that personable and strategic, not like he looks a little haggard and embarrassed now.

The injury on Wen Qing's shoulder was no longer as painful as Fang Cai, but her internal organs were burned a little badly, and her consciousness became more and more blurred.

Wen Qing bent the corners of her lips with some difficulty, she remembered that when Li Zhao first saw her in Huai'an, she was also smiling like this, and the whole person walked out of the willow tree in the backyard with a breeze, just like a young lady in a Jiangnan landscape painting, life is only as if it was the first time she saw it.

She has no strength in her body now, and her face is much worse than then, Wen Qing knows that she is about to die, and hopes that Li Zhao will see that she is still very good-looking before she dies, she used her last bit of strength, and gently said to Li Zhao who was close at hand:

"After I die, bring my bones back to Huai'an, I want to be buried in my hometown, so that I can be closer to my father, he raised me so big, and I also want to do my filial piety that I couldn't fulfill in my life."

Li Zhao hugged his wife in his arms tightly, this person who used to be able to slash the enemy without blinking, didn't even dare to look down at her at the moment, just said to her in a deep voice:

"I promise you."

As long as it is her request, he will agree.

Wen Qing slowly closed her eyes and said in a voice that was last ignored:

"I'm sorry I can't hold your hand like before, and accompany you on the next road, from now on those roads will have to go alone again, my father told me before he died that after death, people can become stars in the sky to protect those who are still alive, and I will also become stars to continue to protect you, you have to live well, you have to live with us."

Li Zhao lowered his head and protected her in his arms, and promised in a low voice: "Don't worry, if you feel tired, take a good rest, and when I wait until tomorrow, I will take you to eat snacks in Huai'an City, I remember that you love to eat Yangchun noodles in the shop in the east of the city, and when you wake up, I will take you to eat." ”

Wen Qing closed her eyes, lying in his arms as if she had done countless times before, bowing her head and muttering hello.

The people around were silently in place, watching Wen Qing leave, and no one dared to speak at this time, for fear of irritating Li Zhao, who had just lost his wife and was unstable.

Even Xiao Ce, who was standing on the side, couldn't bear it, he had long heard that Li Zhao and his wife Wen Qing were in love with each other, but it was a pity that there have always been lovers in this world who are difficult to marry.

Li Hanning watched Wen Qing's hand hang weakly on the ground, she had seen countless deaths with her own eyes in the past, but this time to Wen Qing, she finally realized what it means to be painful and reluctant, except for Li Zhao in this world, only Wen Qing treats her best, she is reluctant to let Wen Qing leave, but she can only stand aside and watch her leave, she can't do anything for them.

I don't know how long it took for Li Zhao to come to his senses, he picked up Wen Qing's corpse on the ground, and walked towards his horse step by step, when he passed by Fang Jiuge, Fang Jiuge seemed to have something to say, and the few people who pressed him were almost unable to hold it down.

"Let me meet her!"

"Please, brother! Let me take one last look at her! ”

Fang Jiuge was pressed to the ground and couldn't raise his head at all, so he shouted desperately at Li Zhao who was not far away: "Please, brother, let me take one last look at her, what did she say before she died?" Did she mention me to you? Please, you can say anything, as long as it's about her! ”

As long as Li Zhao doesn't speak.

Li Zhao was stunned when he heard this, he was holding Wen Qing's corpse in his arms and did not look down at Fang Jiuge, who was not pressed on the ground.

"Who are you to see her? She never mentioned you in front of me. ”

Fang Jiuge, who was still so emotional that he went crazy, suddenly quieted down, his face was facing the ground, he couldn't see Li Zhao who was close at hand, and suddenly lost control of his emotions for no reason and shouted:

"Impossible, impossible, Aqing won't do this to me, you're lying! You're lying! ”

After all, he is also the elder brother who grew up with Wen Qing from childhood to adulthood, how could Wen Qing completely forget him? Fang Jiuge didn't believe that Wen Qing would be so ruthless to him, even if Wen Qing didn't like him, he was Wen Qing's only brother.

Li Zhao's tone was unwavering, there was no need for him to lie to Fang Jiuge, Li Zhao was a little pitiful to him now, Mo Qing was dead, and it was also Fang Jiuge's protector who was not good, everything he paid for betraying Huai'an City was a bamboo basket for nothing, and today he indirectly killed Wen Qing and killed his only relative in this world.

Li Zhao just looked down, for Wen Qing's death, he had always only blamed himself for not protecting her, but for Fang Jiu Ge in front of him, Li Zhao felt that he was not angry and felt that he was angry:

"You know that what I said is true, but I don't want to admit it in my heart, a person who has saved enough disappointments will not have any hope for a person, the days when you left Huai'an City, Mrs. once blamed herself for not thinking about tea and food, and always felt that she was not good enough to make you make up your mind to leave Huai'an City, even if the past grievances between you and us have been written off with your departure, that secret weapon is the martial arts of the old city lord after all, how can you teach him these for Mo Qing's safety? Do you know that the hidden weapons and plum blossom darts that Mo Qing was wearing today killed her? ”

From the very beginning, Li Zhao recognized that this was clearly Huai'an City's martial arts, he had seen it in Fang Jiuge, Mo Qing and the Mo family had been living in Chang'an, how could they suddenly learn this, naturally it was taught by Fang Jiuge.

Fang Jiuge's eyes widened in disbelief, he only now knew that Wen Qing would die if he blocked those two secret weapons for Li Zhao, it was he who indirectly killed Wen Qing, when he taught Mo Qing to use those two secret weapons, Fang Jiuge never thought that he would use them against Li Zhao and Wen Qing, why would he kill his most important person by mistake? Fang Jiu Ge couldn't help crying and laughing, what had he done, and what face would he have in the future to see the old city lord under Jiuquan? And what face to see Wen Qing, who is closest to him?

Li Zhao glanced down at Fang Jiu Ge, who was as dead as ashes at the moment, and didn't stay here for long, so he got up and turned over on his horse. He had to fulfill his promise to his deceased wife and take her home to their city of Huai'an.

Li Hanning saw that Li Zhao's expression was wrong, and wanted to ride a horse to follow, but was stopped by Xiao Ce on the side, Xiao Ce met Li Hanning's gaze and said in a deep voice:

"He needs to be quiet at this time, don't worry, he will be fine, since he is your son, you have to believe him."

Xiao Ce understood Li Zhao's mood too well, he just needed time, not to mention what Wen Qing whispered to him before he died, it was the thing that Wen Qing didn't want to tell them that made Li Zhao almost collapse, although he didn't know what it was, but Wen Qing's death was a sudden change for Li Zhao, Xiao Ce knew that he needed time to adapt.

Li Hanning stood in place and watched Li Zhao leave alone, watching his back on a horse disappear at the end of the woods.

Li Hanning suddenly felt that maybe what Xiao Ce said was right, even if she caught up with him at this moment, what could she do for him? She might as well be more useful to stay here.

As soon as Li Zhao left like this, everyone in the current situation invariably looked at Li Hanning, after all, she was their general, and she was the person with the highest official position here.

Mo Zhao walked over, waved at Li Hanning, and then asked what to do next, and asked Li Hanning:

"General, I don't know what to do with the rest of the people?"

Li Hanning glanced around, and suddenly remembered Li Zhao's expression when he left, and felt a little inexplicably uneasy in her heart for some reason, but she was still needed to preside over the overall situation here, no matter what, she couldn't mess up at this time, so she quickly instructed Mo Zhao:

"Fang Jiuge pressed back to Fengyang City together, and then sent it down after the city lord came back, the imperial court soldiers and horses who were unwilling to surrender here were killed on the spot, and those who were willing to surrender were brought back to Fengyang City, and they were recorded one by one, and the soldiers and horses of my Fengyang City generally have corresponding food and salary pensions, and the rest of the people cleaned up here as soon as possible, and then you and I went back to Fengyang City first after half a pillar of incense."

Seeing that Li Hanning had already arranged everything properly, Mo Zhao just bowed his head and responded, "Yes." ”

When he looked up, his eyes fell on Xiao Ce: "I don't know what to do with this second son of Xiao?" ”

Li Hanning quietly glanced at Xiao Ce sideways when he heard this, now the matter is over, but Li Zhao has changed suddenly, Xiao Ce, who originally planned to go back to Luoyang and discuss the long-term, changed his mind, Xiao Ce glanced at Li Hanning and then said:

"At this moment, Fengyang City is still fighting with my brother, one more of you and me is also one more bargaining chip to play with him, I am willing to return to Fengyang with you, I don't know what you think, General Li?"

Even if Xiao Sheng wanted to borrow a knife to kill people in the past, after all, he didn't dare to ignore his brother's life and death in front of the two armies, but Xiao Ce knew that he might be used by them or chose to stay willingly, which must also be his own purpose.

Li Hanning glanced at him, no matter what, even if Xiao Ce had any other purpose for staying, no matter how smart he was, there was only one person, what kind of storm and waves could Xiao Ce set off in their Fengyang City alone?

Li Hanning thought of this, just glanced at Xiao Ce and said quietly:

"Stay if you want."
