Song Heng has been outside Chang'an City for the past few days, so he naturally knows the current situation in the city, so he immediately opened his mouth to persuade:

"If the general is really worried about the safety of His Highness, I can send someone into the city to find it, and the general really doesn't have to risk it himself."

Li Hanning understood in his heart that this was different, Xiao Ce would not leave the people in Chang'an City at this time and flee to a safe place alone, he had lived in Chang'an for so many years, and naturally had feelings for these people.

Li Hanning opened his mouth and said, "Thank you General Song for your kindness." ”

She could hear Song Heng's kindness, and naturally understood it.

Song Heng saw that she seemed to have made up her mind, and after hesitating, he couldn't help but ask:

"The general has come to Chang'an, and he has never brought soldiers and horses from southern Xinjiang, and the general has already arranged it before he comes, so I don't have to wait to worry about it, but if the general enters the city this time, there is really a case, then-"

So what should they do?

Song Heng understands her loyalty, Xiao Ce is generous, and the generals he brought out will always remember his goodness, but now it is not an ordinary situation, Li Hanning is almost equivalent to going to death if he wants to enter Chang'an City now.

Although he didn't know him before, he had heard Li Hanning's name, and standing in front of him was a world-famous general, how could he watch the other party go to death?

Li Hanning said: "Don't worry, if Your Highness or I are infected with the epidemic, I will not leave Chang'an City for the time being in accordance with Luoyang's requirements, this is Chang'an City has been closed for a long time, and General Xue shot the people before, Chang'an City must be people's hearts floating, and I hope that General Song will be more concerned about the food of the people of Chang'an." ”

They promised to transfer grain from the west to Chang'an, just to give to the people of Chang'an who were sealed in the city, but at present, the grain has not yet arrived.

Song Heng didn't say what he wanted to say from beginning to end, but just said: "General rest assured, the people of Chang'an City are also my people of Luoyang." ”

Since he eats the king, he will definitely be concerned about this matter.

Li Hanning looked at Song Heng in front of her, she didn't pick the wrong person, even if there were many people on the Luoyang Army's side who were helpless, Song Heng would not become the second Xue Huai.

Li Hanning responded: "Please leave the rest to the general." ”

When the barracks were late at night, Li Hanning led her horse and left the barracks, she came alone, and she walked alone, leading the horse alone while the night was still leaving, Song Heng just watched her back from a distance.

The guards on the side looked at Song Heng a little distracted, he didn't understand why their general was just watching here, since he wanted to send it, why didn't he send it generously: "If the general is really worried, it's better to-"

Song Heng waved his hand, and the guards beside him didn't dare to say more, Song Heng just sighed thoughtfully and said:

"That's it, she has made up her mind, she can come all the way from southern Xinjiang to come here, you and I can't stop it, we can only hope that God will treat Luoyang better, and I hope that she and His Royal Highness King Ming will have better luck."

At that time, their guards did not understand what he said, but he returned to the camp with their general.

When Li Hanning arrived at the foot of Chang'an City, there was almost a dead silence around, the city gate of Chang'an City, which was several people high, was now tightly closed, and the city gate was separated by a huge fence, and it was far away before standing the soldiers who were guarding the night in their hearts.

Li Hanning tied the horse under the tree, and entered Chang'an City with light skills, the city wall was empty, and from a distance, Chang'an City, which was once brightly lit, was now dark, walking on the dilapidated and dirty streets.

Li Hanning only felt that this was not the Chang'an in her memory at all, she had been in Chang'an for so many years, and she had never seen Chang'an so depressed and desolate, even more so than the north.

Chang'an is still prosperous after the war, but it is depressed and dilapidated in the face of the epidemic, there is no one on the streets, every house is closed, no one is lighting at night, most of the stalls of the surrounding vendors are messy, and most of the tents that shelter their stalls from the rain have long collapsed.

She searched for Xiao Ce's Ming Palace, and walked all the way to the southeast corner of Chang'an City.

Dust had fallen visible to the naked eye on the plaque of the Ming Palace, the gate was closed, and it was pitch black in the courtyard from a distance, she didn't knock on the door, but she quickly turned in with a little effort.

Where Xiao Ce lived, she remembered that it was this courtyard, which was full of fallen leaves and dust, and no one had cleaned it for at least a week or two.

She was about to slam on the door, but she heard a cough from inside, and pushed it in.

The man on the bed heard the sound of someone pushing the door and asked vigilantly:

"Who is it?"

This is Xiao Ce's voice, Li Hanning recognized it, and finally settled down, she was almost a thousand miles all the way, just afraid that she would never see him again if she was a little late.

There is a large screen between the doorway and the bed.

Li Hanning hurriedly responded: "It's me, Your Highness, it's me who is back." ”

Xiao Ce seemed to be a little surprised and said tentatively: "Han Ning? ”

She came back in a hurry this time, without telling him, and Xiao Ce's reaction was also expected by her.

"Yes, I have come back from southern Xinjiang, and the war over there is not over yet, but rest assured, Your Highness, I have already sent Liu Ling to find Changfeng."

He will replace Li Hanning as the commander of the three armed forces.

"You-" Xiao Ce couldn't help but cough lightly twice: "Why do you have to go back to Chang'an at this time?" ”

Because I can't rest assured that you can't be relieved.

But Li Hanning didn't say that if Xiao Ce had to punish her, she would indeed be guilty of leaving her post without permission.

Li Hanning stood at the door without moving, through a hazy screen, she seemed to be able to vaguely see the person lying on the bed here:

"If Your Highness wants to be punished, I am willing to accept the guilt."

Xiao Ce coughed softly again.

Li Hanning was about to step forward, but he heard Xiao Ce's voice close at hand:

"Don't come here."

She stopped at the sound.

Xiao Ce said again: "You just stand there, don't come here." ”

She had already guessed.

Chang'an City has become like this, Li Hanning has already seen it when he put it on the street outside, and the doors of every house are closed, which shows that there are not many people in Chang'an City who have not contracted the epidemic.

When she came into the room just now, she had already heard Xiao Ce cough three times.

He was also infected with the epidemic, Xiao Ce didn't want to infect her, there was no treatment for this disease at present, he would get it, but Li Hanning had just returned from southern Xinjiang, and she didn't have to come back to Chang'an to take risks.

But this was the first time Li Hanning disobeyed Xiao Ce's order, the footsteps only stopped for a moment, she lit a candle on the table next to her, and the room suddenly lit up, Xiao Ce followed the phantom reflected on the screen, and saw Li Hanning getting closer and closer.

He hurriedly sat up, using the little strength he had now, and under some excitement, he couldn't help but roar:

"I told you not to come!"

"You don't listen to this king's words, do you?"

Li Hanning was obviously his general, but he didn't listen to his orders at the moment.

Li Hanning still didn't listen, she went straight around the screen in front of her, blocking them, and walked to Xiao Ce's bed.

Xiao Ce hurriedly moved his whole person to the inside of the bed, and then turned his face sideways.

His face was very bad, even when Xiao Ce was injured in the past, Li Hanning had never seen him, and he was as embarrassed as he was now.

Xiao Ce's face was almost a little blue, he didn't see the slightest ruddy color in the past, his lips were all pale dark purple, he was dressed in thin white, and his hair fell down, but this couldn't cover the red spots on his neck at all.

Li Hanning naturally felt sorry for Xiao Ce, who was high-spirited in the past, but today he looks like this lingering sickbed, the guards who served him in the past have long since disappeared, Xiao Ce lives alone in this empty house, Li Hanning rushed all the way from southern Xinjiang, in fact, there are many things he wants to say to Xiao Ce, but now the words are on his lips

Li Hanning said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I won't leave." ”

In fact, it's good that there are no extra people in this mansion, because even if Xiao Ce drives her away now, she can't drive her away.

"Even if Your Highness gets an epidemic, I will find a way to cure you, there is always a solution to the epidemic in this world, Meng Liang can't find it, I will go to find someone who can cure you."

If it really can't be cured, she is willing to get sick together, in short, she is not willing to be alone in southern Xinjiang at this time.

Li Hanning sat on the bed and stretched out his hand as if he wanted to comb his loose hair and underwear that was no longer so clean and tidy, but he ignored her last time, and Li Hanning could only put down his hand again.

The two people in the room were silent for a while, and Li Hanning was the first to speak:

"I know that His Royal Highness is angry because I left my post without permission and made my own opinions, but I also just came from southern Xinjiang, day and night, I arrived near Chang'an to know that His Majesty sent Xue Huai to lead troops to besiege Chang'an, a few days ago he shot the people of Chang'an privately, before entering Chang'an City, I have killed him, now those soldiers and horses outside are led by General Song Heng, I look at his people, not like Xue Huai, Chang'an City has been sealed in the city, and the people are increasingly short of food and clothing, but as long as they survive these few days, the grain will be transported to Chang'an."

Li Hanning knew in his heart that by that time, all the problems that appeared on Chang'an's side would be solved.

The room was silent for a while, in fact, every time she got along with Xiao Ce, Xiao Ce said more, that was because he knew that Li Hanning didn't like to talk too much.

But today it was she who was talking, and he was listening.

Xiao Ce let out a long sigh, he knew that he couldn't get rid of this person, now everyone in the world is walking around Chang'an, and the people in Chang'an City can't wait to leave this city, but she is the only one who has to jump into this fire pit.

Xiao Ce finally turned around and looked at Li Hanning, who was close at hand, obviously in a reproachful tone, but with a little distress:

"Han Ning, you really shouldn't have come back."

At least not at this time.
