Chapter 99: Burning Ji City

If you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime.

The truth of Jicheng is still for her to know after all. She cried in her father's arms for days. At this time, most of the military doctors left behind in Jicheng had withdrawn, and the remaining half could not come back.

The epidemic is terrible, and it is heard that the sick person is covered with gangrene, which is very contagious. Luo Wenhui hid it and let Luo Li stay in the military tent most of the time.

But the smell of corpses is getting heavier and heavier.

After a few more days, the military doctor at the front reported that now the people of Jicheng are dead, the corpses are stenching, and the river has been frozen, and it is not easy to spread through the current, but the city needs to take immediate action to prevent the spread of the epidemic.

During the Spring Festival that year, the barracks were depressed and no one celebrated. All because of the royal capital's edict - burn Jicheng.

After reading the letter, the coach hesitated, this order did not dare to be rash, but it was too late to send a letter back to the king. Coach Xie Ju and military advisor Qin Chuan discussed privately, and the two pushed this task to the eighteen-year-old deputy marshal, after all, he is the only prince of Qi State, and the whole world belongs to his father, if anyone really blames him, he can't say anything.

The young Third Highness thought twice and ordered the city to be set on fire on the second day of the first lunar month.

In the twenty-seventh year of Tianyuan, when Yanyang Wanjia was celebrating the New Year, the third largest city in the north - Jicheng was full of fire, and the fire burned in the snow for three days, and the smell of corpses was covered by the smell of burning firewood.

At the checkpoint, the people who fled returned with the news, and their cries shook the heavens and the earth.

Luo Wenhui was unusual, not a single tear fell, he changed into a clean white cotton coat, took out the paper money and wine he had prepared, and took Luo Li to an open place, looking at the smoke of Jicheng, and kowtowed three times.

Later, Luo Li Xu understood that when there was great sorrow, some people couldn't cry.

After that, Luo Wenhui took Luo Li to set up two empty tombs outside the city, and the stele was secretly carved by her father before. The tomb buried the gifts that her father brought to her mother and younger brother on this trip.

Life and death, I didn't even see it at the last sight.

Life and death in the world are vast, and he is depressed in his heart, and he can't be a well-dressed grave for the two of them.

After that, Daddy fell ill, and he was so sick that he couldn't get out of bed.

Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the people left.

The military doctor said that her father's mind was scattered, and his heart disease was greater than that of typhoid fever.

The cold disease hurriedly took away her last relative, Luo Li was helpless, and the stubborn and endurable child almost fainted in the end.

The young general appeared, he looked tired, he had only been seen for more than ten days, he had lost a lot of weight, and he accompanied her to bury Daddy.

On that day, he first used a shovel, and then, like a madman, threw the earth with his bare hands, until his hands were covered with blood and stained red with the snow caught in the soil.

Seeing this, his personal guards dissuaded him, and only then did he come back to his senses and recover as before, while Luo Li on the side was already frightened.

In the end, he took out the jade flute, his fingertips were bloody, and he blew a ghostly requiem, crying like a complaint.

Luo Li looked at the red dots on the white jade Xiao, listening to the faint and mournful tune, and blurred his eyes.

That day, Lori asked him what his name was.

He told her softly, Qi Jinghao.

At that time, she didn't know that this was the Qi family's world.

......

......

For many years, the same person, in different places, held the same sword to her throat.

She asked with some expectation: "Does Your Highness remember that eight years ago, a child bit your armor in Jicheng Waika?"

As soon as the sword in Qi Jinghao's hand loosened, he murmured, "Are you ...... Mr. Lowe's ......"

Luo Wenhui, Luo Li.

Qi Jinghao immediately put the sword back into the scabbard, thinking of what he had just done, he looked ashamed.

He had a lot of questions to ask, such as "Where did you go after that", "Why didn't you say goodbye", and "What did you do to King Mu's staff" and so on, but in the end, Qi Jinghao just whispered: "Girl, after so many years, you have had a good life." ”

Luo Li stood up and looked at him, and said in his heart: And you, for so many years, have really not had a good time.

Luo Li was apprehensive about the day's events, and he didn't dare to mention it more, and the previous incident in Jicheng was also a taboo, and what happened to the Hundred Demon Realm was even more unclear.

She looked at the sky, the star was hanging alone, and she asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, I don't know how long this trip has been, let's go back quickly......"

Qi Jinghao whistled, and after a while his horse ran out of the forest, Qi Jinghao patted the horse's back at her and said, "Come up." ”

Luo Li excused, "No need, I'll just go back from here, it won't take long." ”

"Why? I remember you listened to me when you were a kid. ”

Luo Li smiled, how could she dare not listen when she was a child? At that time in the barracks, she saw that those soldiers listened to this general's big brother, so she had such a vision, she naturally knew how to pretend to be well-behaved to please him.

Luo Li grabbed the reins of the horse and wanted to get on the horse, Qi Jinghao reached out and helped her back, Luo Li stiffened.

Qi Jinghao led the horse and walked in front, and said quietly: "I remember, I also led the horse like this and took you to the mountains to hunt rabbits." ”

Luo Li's heart moved, he didn't expect that he remembered these trivial things.

For some days, there was a shortage of food in the barracks, and the team carrying the grain was delayed due to heavy snowfall. Qi Jinghao took the lead in going to the mountains to hunt game for the soldiers to eat, but he met Luo Li who secretly followed her in the forest, and almost hunted her as a deer, of course, in the end, he inevitably returned to the station to be taught a lesson by his father and eldest brother.

"Remember, I was almost hunted by you as a game big brother. Luo Li was shocked and changed his words: "It's Your Highness......

"It's okay, you and I have a relationship, and now it's okay to call me a big brother. Qi Jinghao led the horse for a long distance without speaking, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Have you ever hated me?" ”

Luo Li was puzzled, "Why do you have a hate?"

"Everyone in the world hates it, don't you hate?"

If the epidemic is difficult to suppress, it will be even more difficult in the future than between the cholera people and the cities today, and the people who will suffer more are afraid. ”

When Qi Jinghao heard this, he sneered, "Everyone in the world says that I am ruthless, and I don't want this only person who understands me and forgives me to be a person in the bureau." ”

"The world doesn't understand, because no one understands it, so why bother yourself. ”

"The old things are gone, why don't you tell me why you didn't say goodbye at that time?"

"On the night of Daddy's burial, my master came to the barracks and picked me up, but it happened suddenly, so I couldn't say goodbye. Master's house is in the wilderness of the country, and the news is blocked, will something happen after that?"

Qi Jinghao was silent.

The invective of the year echoed in his ears.

After Luo Li returned to Qingluan Peak with his master, he was immersed in sadness. Su Yichen loved his little apprentice the most, and deliberately blocked the news about Jicheng in the villa, and he couldn't even mention his name.

After that, she lived a life of isolation, and naturally she didn't know that not long after she left, in Kyushu, the scolding and resentment against Qi Jinghao had reached the point of public resentment.

Although you are the prince of the prince, he is also ordered to do things, but in the end, even Emperor Qi had to order him to be punished to make the people angry.

After that, Jicheng became a taboo for Kyushu people, and it also became a sin that Qi Jinghao could never wash away.

The name Jicheng is an unforgettable pain for him, an injury that cannot be healed, and a sin destined to bear for a lifetime.

He carried such a bad reputation for too long, and later he desperately rushed into battle to kill the enemy, repeatedly made military achievements, and washed away for many years, so that everyone gradually forgot about him back then.

Qi Jinghao said, "When did you recognize me?"

"That time in the teahouse, I recognized the eldest brother's Qingfeng Sword. ”

Qi Jinghao seemed to have a hint of a smile and said, "I didn't expect Qingfeng to have this intention." ”

The two didn't speak again, and the tension in Luo Li's heart eased a lot, she was a little afraid, afraid that he would ask her about her cultivation, and even more afraid that he would ask her how she recovered from her serious injuries.

Fortunately, Qi Jinghao is a smart person, and he is not difficult to be strong.

The two walked outside the palace, and Qi Jinghao pointed to his back, "Come up, girl." ”

Luo Li didn't refuse, she began to cover her right abdomen halfway, and the internal injury was only seventy percent.

When Qi Jinghao took her back to the room, Luo Li paid attention to this road and found that there was nothing abnormal. Luo Li went back to the house and ran to the bed in the dark, and the moment he got on the bed, he fell asleep.
