Xu Yi held the letter in his hand, looking uncertain. He was still a little confused, but he was already convinced in his heart that if he couldn't protect him, the King of Qi of Wei State might really die.

He asked Xiang Chu Xin, "What should I do about this?"

Chu Xin scratched the back of his head and thought for a long time. He really couldn't think of anything to say. He could only say: "How about reporting this matter to the marshal? Let him make the decision? Anyway, we have blocked this place now.

They didn't dare to break through.

After the marshal has made a decision, how about we go and find out the truth? With such a huge contribution falling into the hands of our brothers, we will be blessed with glory and wealth in the next life!"

When the word 'military merit' was mentioned, Xu Yi's eyes shone brightly. He said: "Okay, let's go and report to the marshal first and let him personally send an army. The death of Qi King Zhao Changqing in the hands of you and my brother can be regarded as a waste."

A tremendous blessing!"

Chu Xin nodded heavily and issued an order to the scouts of his army: "When I write a letter, it must be presented to Marshal Ge in person."

…

I don't know whether it was fate or God's will, but the scout who bit his tongue to commit suicide didn't die. He didn't actually bite off his tongue. Instead, he bit it halfway and fainted from the pain.

When he woke up, he found that he was in the "abandoned wilderness". As a military scout, his experience told him that this place was probably far away from the border town of Qingzhou.

At this moment, there was still blood in his mouth, but he seemed to understand how heavy the burden was on him, so he steeled himself and tried to get up.

After identifying the direction, he began to simply treat the wound on the tongue that was about to break.

Wrap it with a short layer of white cloth.

He didn't know if it would do any good, but it was better than nothing.

Now he just wants to spread the news of His Royal Highness King Qi's death to the border town of Qingzhou.

Probably because he had practiced martial arts, he was relatively strong. Even though the bleeding from his tongue made him feel great pain and torture, he did not compromise.

And he summoned the strength from nowhere, and after identifying the direction of the border town of Qingzhou, he ran hard in that direction.

During the run, he almost fainted several times due to tongue pain, but every time when he was about to faint, he forcibly cheered up and warned himself,

"We must tell the military advisor! We must not let the prince die in vain! We must defeat the Jin army! We must protect the people of Qingzhou! We must protect my family!"

His consciousness gradually blurred, his throat became hoarse, and breathing became increasingly difficult. He could only breathe out, and when he breathed a little, he could feel the severe pain coming from the tip of his tongue and the hoarseness of his throat.

He knew that he would die soon due to excessive bleeding, but he didn't want to die like this. He was nostalgic for this land and missed his family.

More importantly, he must complete his mission.

He felt that he couldn't die like this!

He wanted to do the last thing in his life for the deceased His Highness King Qi, for General Zhao Yun, for the Paoze brothers who were trapped in the barren mountains, for his family, for Qingzhou, for Wei State...

The strong desire to survive made his life seem to be extended. He closed his mouth forcibly, relying only on the slight breath from his nostrils to keep running forward.

At this moment, because his tongue is about to break and he is still bleeding, his trachea has been blocked, making it increasingly difficult to breathe. Although it is better to breathe through the mouth, it will hurt his tongue and dry throat.

If this continues, you won't be able to survive for long!

I simply can’t support myself to go to the border town!

Therefore, he chose to breathe only through his nostrils. Although it was difficult, as long as he kept the frequency of his forward steps, it would not be a big problem and it would make him feel better.

He didn't know how long he walked, but it was already dark anyway. He finally reached the border city, but before he even got close to the city gate, he fell heavily to the ground.

Just like a dying person holding on to the last hope of living, this hope suddenly disappeared, just like the light went out and the rope was broken, leaving only endless despair and the feeling when he closed his eyes.

dark.

He's going to pass out again.

Before fainting, he murmured: "Is my life over here?"

Life is so weak and life is so important, it can make people feel heartbroken.

When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a bed and heard the voices of two people vaguely beside his ears:

"Military doctor, can he still be saved?"

"Reporting to the military advisor, he is already exhausted. He is bleeding too much and may not survive the night."

"Then can you think of a way to get him to talk?"

"Military advisor, you are embarrassing an old man. Even if Senior Zhu Yanxiu, His Royal Highness's personal physician, is here, it is impossible for him to speak again."

…

It seemed that hearing the word "strategist" made the dying scout suddenly energized. He actually sat up, made a space on the bed, and wrote two words: "Paper and pen."

People all over the world say that before death, people will have a brief moment of clarity, as if God wants the dying person to arrange their funeral arrangements.

Over time, this phenomenon became known as "reflection of light."

The military advisor was naturally Zhuge Liang. When he saw that the scout could actually write, he was extremely excited and quickly asked someone to bring a pen and paper and put it in front of him.

But at this moment, once he holds the pen, his hand seems to be in constant motion. It is really difficult to write one or two words without forcing himself to calm down.

Zhuge Liang saw him struggling to write on the paper:

The prince passed away and the army was trapped in the barren mountains more than 20 miles to the right of Longyuan Ridge. General Zhao asked for help. Please take care of my mother at home. My name is Li Si. Please, I will repay you in the next life.

After writing these words, he smiled and murmured in his heart: "Mom, the child is gone."

Then, he closed his eyes and could no longer open them.

Zhuge Liang felt a little sad in his heart. He picked up the piece of paper and told the people around him: "Go and investigate this scout to see if he has any relatives in his family. Let the local prefect find a livelihood for his relatives in person, and then give his mother a living."

I will give her a hundred taels of silver so that she can enjoy her old age in peace.

Bury his bones facing outside the city. I will personally erect a monument for him later. I want him to see with his own eyes how the Jin army was defeated. I will cut out all the tongues of the enemy Chu Xin and give them to Li Sixiao.

Buried with brothers!"

After the soldiers around him said "Promise", they firmly remembered the appearance of the dead scout, and then went down to check the scout's military status to see if there were any colleagues in the army who knew him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Liang urgently summoned all the generals in the army and said to them: "The prince wants to cheat his death and lure the enemy's army into underestimating the enemy's advance, but it will not be easy to convince them.

Therefore, Liang wanted to tell the world about this matter, saying that His Highness King Qi was dead. As long as the enemy commander Ge Hong was convinced, he would come to find out the truth in person.

Hong was completely buried in that barren mountain!"

It is not difficult for Zhuge Liang to guess that Zhao Changqing is cheating his death, because if His Highness Prince Qi really dies, then according to Zhao Yun's character, he will definitely try his best to bring the prince's body back.

If not, just leave it there.

Moreover, the Greedy Wolf star in the night sky is extremely bright, symbolizing a harbinger of vitality. How could it suddenly fall?

What's more, the prince is protected by several masters from Jiange.

But, is it really okay to commit a fraud to death and land yourself in jail?

After seeing the generals around him nodding in unison, Zhuge Liang secretly said sadly: "My lord, my lord, could it be that you had planned to do this from the beginning? Otherwise, even if you fall into the trap and a hundred thousand troops break out of the encirclement together, you can still be guaranteed to return."

Border town!

That's true. If you are so good at fighting, how could you get into the enemy's trap so openly? It's just that your disregard for your own safety can cause the enemy to be defeated, but it is too dangerous."

After Zhuge Liang made his decision, that night, each scout mounted a fast horse and set off to the prefectures, counties, capital and other places in Qingzhou to tell them the news that the prince died in battle and returned to heaven.

As a result, everyone in the world knew that Zhao Changqing died inexplicably.

Late at night.

In his deep sleep, Zhao Changqing suddenly sneezed a few times, briefly waking him up, and then fell into a deep sleep again. In his dream, he saw a young man waving and smiling goodbye to him.

He asked him in his dream, "Which battalion of soldiers are there? Where are they going?"

He said: "Your Majesty, I will go to reincarnation, and I will fight against foreign enemies with you in the next life!"

After a while...

Zhao Changqing woke up.
