Bai Qige woke up near midnight, her mind still a little groggy, but the wound was no longer so painful. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qingjun's slightly thin cheek pressed against her forehead, and the familiar breath completely enveloped her.
"How long have I been sleeping?" He asked hoarsely, his voice weak and feeble.
Yi Chenjing did not answer. He lowered his head and gently pecked his thin chapped lips. His arms tightened around his thin shoulders: "We will go to Lingyun City tomorrow morning."
Does this mean that she is already very serious, so serious that he has to put down the war? She forced a smile on her lips, and Bai Qige touched the blood-stained armor with her cold fingers. The blood had long dried up, so it was obvious that he was staying here.
How long did it last, and how long did she sleep?
The symptoms of excessive blood loss are weakness, fainting and coldness. Bai Qige is so cold that she is almost numb. Even if she is held in Yi Chenjing's arms, she still feels cold to the heart and lungs, but she dare not say that Yi Chenjing looks so lost.
She had never seen her before, and she was afraid that telling him would make him feel even more uncomfortable - no matter who he was feeling uncomfortable for, she felt heartbroken after seeing it. Her feelings for Yi Chenjing were without any impurities, even if he had once
He had hurt her, tortured her, but when he showed his infatuation and kindness, she still couldn't help but fall in love.
I just don't know if the feelings in his heart are as clear and clean as hers, and have nothing to do with anyone else.
Finally at dawn, Chen An walked into the camp covered in dust and reported that the carriage was ready. Yi Chenjing refused to waste a moment and walked out of the tent with Bai Qige in her arms.
In fact, it was not a carriage at all. It was just a small carriage made of strong wooden boards removed from the grain and grass carts. It was rough and crude, with air leakage from the four walls, but it was better than riding a horse and experiencing wind and sand. Qiao Erhe carefully laid out a thin felt blanket.
He wiped his red eyes, and moved his lips to say something but couldn't. He could only watch Bai Qige, whose face was pale, being carried into the car.
As the wheel rolled, Qiao Erhe couldn't help but cry. After all, he was young and no one had anything to blame. Who could say for sure whether he would be able to see that magnificent princess in the future?
Yi Chenjing was always silent and didn't like to talk much. When the carriage was more than a hundred feet away, Bai Qige spoke lightly, and he showed some expression.
"Let the soldiers go back."
"What?"
Li Li straightened up and leaned on Yi Chenjing's shoulder. Bai Qige held her warm palms and sighed softly: "I can hear them seeing off."
Pushing open the car door and looking back, Yi Chenjing took a breath of cold air - inside and outside the camp, there were crowds of people and darkness. It was actually the soldiers who spontaneously came to see Bai Qige off. He was treated like a man he had never received before. How did Bai Qige hold up in the hearts of the soldiers?
This status can be imagined.
There were 427 wounded soldiers who rushed to Lingyun City together. The lightly injured ones helped the seriously injured ones, and some more critical ones were crowded on several grain and grass carts. The group slowly marched towards Lingyun City.
Go. The wound cannot be healed, and it will easily tear if you make any big movements. Therefore, although everyone is anxious, they dare not ride a horse and gallop. Yi Chenjing sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart. He calls Bai Qige's name over and over again like a demon.
There was nothing we could do except make sure she was not sleeping.
A few days later, Lingyun City was in sight, but nineteen had been removed from the number four hundred and twenty-seven, and under the vast land of Hongqueyuan, there were nineteen more corpses looking forward to their souls returning home.
The war was won, and only King Dayao won.
"General, something is wrong." When they were still half a day away from arriving at Lingyun City, Zhou Canjun suddenly knocked on the car door with a solemn expression on his face, "I see faint fire and black smoke over there in Lingyun City. We have been walking for most of the day.
It always feels weird not seeing any residents in the city."
Yi Chenjing put his fingers to his lips to signal Zhou Canjun to be silent. In his arms, Bai Qige fell asleep peacefully, and his palms and wrists were all blood red.
After carefully setting up Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing stepped out of the carriage and frowned as Zhou Canjun pointed. Sure enough, Lingyun City, a busy border town, was unusually quiet. The peace lanterns that usually hung at the top of the city were gone, with only a few faint rays.
Black smoke curled up and dissipated with the wind.
"Zhou joins the army, go and find out if anything happened first, and don't start a conflict if something unexpected happens."
"My subordinates take orders." Zhou Canjun, one man and one horse, suddenly became a small black dot in a burst of smoke, while the rest of the men and horses were still advancing slowly.
That was the last time Yi Chenjing saw Zhou Canjun.
When it got dark, they were very close to Lingyun City. Yi Chenjing called Chen An, who was also very confused about the situation. However, Zhou Canjun never came back. The bleeding soldiers couldn't delay any longer.
There is only one option to move forward.
When they arrived at the city gate, everyone finally understood what had happened in Lingyun City.
"Zhou joins the army!" A wounded soldier lying on the grain cart was the first to notice the abnormality, crying with grief and anger and pointing to the top of the city gate.
At night, the moonlight was clear, and Zhou Canjun's body was hanging quietly on the top of the gate of Lingyun City. His true color could no longer be seen in his clothes and light armor. All he could see was red and almost black dirt and a sticky pool on the ground.
Thick fishy smell.
Hearing the exclamation and jumping out of the carriage, Yi Chenjing was also shocked by the scene and was speechless for a long time. Then he looked inside through the city gate. The neat houses were still there, but the ground was messy and messy, but there was no clue that this was Lingyun City.
, that lively and clean peaceful town. A few fires were about to go out, and wisps of thick smoke rose from the fires. Compared with the weak jumping flames, the whole city was quieter, quiet to the point of death, and silent.
sound.
Chen An walked forward in a daze, with blank eyes as if he couldn't believe what he saw. There was no one, no sound, no living things, no sign that the city was still alive. There were vegetable leaves on the ground, broken clothes and
Pools of blood could be seen everywhere, indicating that the city had been subjected to a brutal raid.
But, what about the people? Where are the people of Lingyun City? No matter whether they are dead or alive, at least let him see a corpse!
"Chen Junjun, be careful of fraud -" a soldier not far away reminded him kindly. Before he could finish his words, Chen An suddenly let out a distorted and sad roar that broke through the strange dead silence of Lingyun City. With a thud, the seven-foot man knelt down heavily and faced the side of the street.
I can't afford to kneel down for a long time.
With steady and silent steps, blood dripping from the corner of his clothes, Yi Chenjing was the first to walk up to Chen An, and he was also the first after Chen An to discover the hill in the Lingyun City Street Square.
Mountain of corpses.
A mountain full of corpses, piled up by corpses of all sizes.
Hundreds or thousands are simply uncountable. The silvery moonlight and black and red blood are intertwined in the eyes. The blood river gathered into the drainage ditch and passed through the streets and alleys that I once walked happily, but there were no children laughing anymore.
, there is no beautiful singing voice, and there is no discussion in twos and threes after tea and dinner in the streets. There are only corpses, corpses, and corpses...
"What's wrong?" Sensing the abnormal atmosphere outside, Bai Qige tried her best to get up and open the car door. Before she could look around, warm but trembling palms covered her eyes.
"do not look."
The choking voice made Bai Qige's heart tremble.
"Where are the people, the people of Lingyun City? Why are they so quiet..." The smell of blood penetrated her nose, and Bai Qige suddenly understood what answer she wanted. Such a strong stench could not be emitted by one or two people, but by many
, or the people of the entire city. Yi Chenjing's trembling seemed to have infected her, and her thin and cold body could not stop trembling. She stubbornly pushed away the warm palm. Bai Qige did not look in the direction where the smell of blood came from, but
He looked at Yi Chenjing with bloodshot eyes: "Are you from Huoluohe, or...Yi Chenxuan?"
The rumbling sound of closing the door replaced Yi Chenjing's answer. Everyone looked back in panic, only to see that the gate of Lingyun City, which had not been moved for many years, was forcibly closed, and more than 400 wounded soldiers were all imprisoned in cages.
"I've been ambushed." The low voice was without any emotion. Yi Chenjing pulled out his sword. The sharp sword light and sharp roar echoed in unison, "Chen An, Chen An? Stand up!" A kick hit the opponent.
On Chen An's back, the devastated Chen An finally stood up holding back his grief. Yi Chenjing took Bai Qige out of the carriage and put her on the horse. She cut off the restraints of the horse with a swing of her sword: "Chen An, listen, it will be later."
If you are to hand me over, you must hide the prince and concubine well, and never allow the enemy to discover her."
Once discovered, Bai Qige's ending would be unimaginable.
"Do you want to leave me again?" After hearing Yi Chenjing's instructions, Bai Qige gritted her teeth and slid off the horse, grabbing Yi Chenjing's sleeve with all her strength, "I know you can't be trusted. I don't want to think about it, since
The other party ambushed me in advance, where do you think I can hide without being discovered? Instead of dying in hiding, I would rather... I would rather die somewhere you can see."
Indeed, Lingyun City is waiting for them to walk into a trap. The opponent is obviously well prepared. They only have wounded soldiers and no soldiers. How can they fight against them? Even if they are lucky enough to find a place to hide, in this dead town
Isn't it easy to find her? There is no way to ascend to heaven and no way to enter the earth. They are already trapped animals with no way out.
"This is the final revenge of the Huoluohe tribe..." Looking at the short but sturdy figure gradually approaching in the distance, Yi Chenjing actually showed a wry smile.
Bai Qige did not panic at the critical moment. This was one of the biggest differences between her and other women. What was the use of panic? Solving the problem depends on brains and courage, not screams and tears. After roughly confirming the other party's situation, Bai Qige pulled Yi
Chen Jing: "There are not many of them. I think there should be no more than a hundred people. They are just bullying us. We are all injured. If we can find a point that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and use defense as an attack, we should annihilate them all."
It won’t be a problem. To put it another way, it’s better to delay the time until General Xiao and the others come to Lingyun City to meet up, rather than just sit back and wait for death.”
"The Huoluohe tribe is fierce and tough. You have seen it on the battlefield. It is not that easy to defend." He sighed softly and supported the swaying Bai Qige. Yi Chenjing quickly calmed down, "Chen An, take the people with you.
Move back and find a convenient place to defend first——Chen An?"
Chen An, who is recognized as the best-tempered soldier in the army, didn't know what happened today. He was distracted from the moment he stepped into Lingyun City. He always followed military regulations and ignored the arrangements of the general Yi Chenjing. Instead, he looked at all the soldiers in surprise.
As he watched, he walked towards the row of enemies who were holding on to their swords. The aura exuding from their bodies carried overwhelming anger.
"Chen An, come back!" Yi Chenjing's angry shouting failed to stop Chen An. Strangely, the enemy on the opposite side didn't seem to have any intention of killing him. When they came closer, they only greeted him with contemptuous eyes and sarcastic sneers. In that situation,
It's as if the dignified soldiers joining the army are their ostracized companions.
An ominous premonition enveloped her whole body. Yi Chenjing held Bai Qige's cold palm, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Chen An, who are you?"
Just like before, Chen An ignored Yi Chenjing's question and looked straight at the enemy in the Huoluo River who had set up an ambush with burning eyes. His clenched fists trembled slightly: "Why? I clearly agreed to kill only the general.
,Why do you want to kill me, the innocent people of Dayao?!"
