The night in the vast desert is cold and deep. The bright moon hangs high, the silver light spreads thousands of miles away, and the sound is cold.
This vast piece of yellow sand has not been soaked with blood for who knows how many decades or hundreds of years. Therefore, the dark red looks extremely terrifying. It is also heartbreaking and despairing.
"More than 400 people were injured. The few invasive medicines I brought were simply not enough." Xiao Baishan looked up at the bright moon as round as a millstone. His sighing tone showed deep tiredness. After waiting for a long time, Yi Chen heard nothing. Jing replied. Xiao Baishan then turned his attention back to the silent prince: "I didn't expect that the Anling Army had already ambushed. They are familiar with the terrain and commanded by Wu Siying who has soldiers like gods. If they can't think of a good way, the remaining More than 1,600 people will have to answer here sooner or later."
Although the enemy only had more than a thousand people, they were all elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles. How could the soldiers from the distant country, who had come to the desert for the first time, possibly contend with them? Originally, they only planned to lead a surprise attack, rob the people, and then leave. As a result, before seeing the smoke from the Anling Kingdom, the private soldiers who had been trained for many years had already lost a lot. Yi Chenjing could not respond to Xiao Baishan, as if he could not break the defeat. All he could do was silence.
Seeing that Yi Chenjing was in a low mood, Xiao Baishan stopped talking at the right time. He stood up and patted the yellow sand on his head: "I'm going to see the injured soldiers."[
Yi Chenjing didn't say anything. He stood up as Xiao Baishan and followed behind without saying a word. When he saw a wounded soldier, he helped bandage or apply medicine. Although he got a lot of gratitude and thanks, he couldn't be happy at all. On the contrary, Getting heavier and heavier.
Those soldiers have been cultivated by him for many years. There is no doubt about his loyalty. Even in such a ridiculous battle, no one blames him for killing many brothers for a woman. But they will look at Yi Chenjing with expectation. .It seems to be saying that they want to go home and reunite with their family members who miss them day and night.
Does the love between him and Bai Qige require the sacrifice of so many people to come true?
Or, even if thousands of people were killed or injured, they still wouldn't be able to grow old together.
"Your Highness, why don't you see Su Jinyan?" After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Baishan carefully raised the question. "Maybe he led us into a trap and ran away. After all, he is from Anling Kingdom."
"have no idea."
Yi Chenjing was upset. He answered coldly. In fact, he felt unsure.
Su Jinyan kept saying that she hoped he could become the emperor and rule the world. She did many things to keep him occupied, including repeatedly hurting Bai Qige on her own initiative. However, Yi Chenjing could never fully see the beauty of this woman who was even better than her. But his hands are stained with blood, and he kills a cold and cruel man. Is he really loyal to him wholeheartedly?
Following Su Jinyan to Monan was just a desperate risk-taking act on his part. If Su Jinyan really led him into a trap as Xiao Baishan suspected, then he and the more than 2,000 soldiers he led would indeed be unable to escape now.
There were several horns blaring in the distance. The soldiers turned their heads to look. But the night was too dark and they could not see anything.
"This is the bugle call of the Anling Army. They are probably still gathering troops." Xiao Baishan smiled bitterly. "We are throwing ourselves into a trap. Although it is possible to break in if we fight hard, the result will definitely be a lose-lose situation for both sides."
Although Xiao Baishan did not say it directly, his intention to persuade Yi Chenjing to return was very obvious.
Yi Chenjing stood silently for a long time facing the direction where the horn sound came from. It wasn't until the soldiers around him dispersed to rest that he took off his helmet and spoke in a low voice.
"General Xiao, the victory or defeat of this battle can be decided in just a few days. But it will take at least a lifetime for me to forget Qi Ge and become a king who concentrates on political affairs."
"Without the Crown Princess, Your Highness can't concentrate, right?" Xiao Baishan patted Yi Chenjing's shoulder. Xiao Baishan expressed his understanding. Together they looked at the bright starry sky in the distance. "I will understand this feeling. My wife died tragically back then. After learning the news, the general almost went crazy. Not to mention leading the troops to take revenge. He could not even eat or sleep normally. No matter whether he opened his eyes or closed them, he could always see that my wife was covered in blood. I heard her calling my name in pain... ..." Taking a deep breath, Xiao Baishan wiped the moisture from the corner of his eyes: "If you want to do it, do it to the end. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life like the general. You will not be able to live in peace until you die."
"Yeah." Yi Chenjing responded lightly. He turned his head and unexpectedly revealed a quiet smile.
The moonlight was very light and soft. It covered Yi Chenjing's face like a gauze. The smile it reflected became gentle. For a moment, Xiao Baishan was reminded of the child he met when he was young. The seventh prince of Dayao with a bright smile.
"I thought a lot after Qi Ge left. Whether it was the past or the present, I have never thought about it carefully like this." Yi Chenjing, who was talking to himself, did not notice that Xiao Baishan was absent-minded. His eyes were as deep as night. Silence is as quiet as water. "Ning Xizui is right. Qi Ge suffered a lot when we were together. When I was a child, I preferred Hong Hao and always ignored her. Later, I even tortured her and hurt her for Hong Hao. I even gave her to her. She left scars that will last a lifetime... Even so, I still fell in love with her."
Open your palms. The delicate and compact jade piccolo is as clean as new.[
"I know that the current Qi Ge is definitely not the Xiao Yingge back then. She is strong and courageous. She understands justice and yet is kind. No one can erase her light. Maybe that's why we are attracted to each other. She walked closer and closer until this hand held her and she never wanted to let go."
"Actually, I have always regretted it. Why didn't I rush up to hold her that day? She knew clearly that she didn't love Ning Xizui. The only person she loved was me. Hehe. It might be arrogant to say such a thing. Who made her always Call me thick-skinned. Even if I have to fight An Ling, it doesn't matter. If it's to protect her and protect our time together, I'm willing to pay any price."

"I admit that I am a bastard. I have hurt Qi Ge. And I always put her in danger because of me. But during those days when I was drunk, I wanted to understand one thing. I did not just hurt Qi Ge. We are more together. What I want is happiness and satisfaction. And this is something that others can't give. It doesn't matter if you have children. It doesn't matter if others will criticize you. If Qi Ge is by my side, I will have the strength to persevere. Just like my father. I once racked my brains to think Let us separate. Isn't it time to compromise now? As long as we persist and don't give up, nothing can separate us. Not even God. Even death, we will still stay together."
"General Xiao. I...I love Qi Ge more than anything in the world."
Xiao Baishan couldn't remember how long he listened to the young prince's confession. He didn't know when he fell asleep. He only remembered that Yi Chen was still standing in that desolate and quiet place until the moon was in the middle of the sky. In the desert, it tells every moment of the journey with Bai Qige.
When I woke up, it was already bright, but Yi Chen could no longer be found.
Clean water in the desert is as expensive as oil. Even though Anling's sphere of influence is approaching the oasis step by step, Anling's soldiers and people are still reluctant to waste it. Their eyes widen when they see barrels of clean water being transported into the station.
"It is the custom of the State of Zhao that the bride must bathe three times on her wedding day. The third lady is about to become my Queen of Anling. Naturally, I cannot wrong her." Lu Feidu happily moved down the bucket and wiped his sweat. He said to the envious soldier
After a brief explanation, they knocked on the door of Bai Qige's room. "Miss Third, the bathing water has been sent to the backyard cabin. The wedding clothes and accessories are also placed there. Let us know after washing and changing. After that, no one else is allowed to enter the house."
The man in the stone house answered. Lu Feidu didn't mind either. He shrugged and turned around to wave to the soldiers who looked impatient.
"Let's all move things outside the camp. We have enough good wine and meat. Today is my lord's happy day. Everyone can eat and drink as they please. Who can say that being hungry or thirsty will spoil my lord's good deeds tonight? Be careful, I will pull out your teeth."
"We're not going. General Lu himself has to go to the wedding ceremony."
"General Lu, be careful. If you peek at the sealed master and find out, your life will be at risk."
There was endless laughter outside the house, but the two adjacent stone houses were quiet. The two people who were about to become husband and wife were silent. They were incompatible with the bustle outside.
Bai Qige walked through the corridor to the backyard hut. There were a few buckets of water and a dazzling red wedding dress. After a simple bath, she sat blankly in front of the dressing mirror. She wanted to smile in the mirror but couldn't.
When she was putting on makeup and makeup, she thought of Yi Chen drawing her eyebrows for her. When she was about to put on wedding clothes, she thought of marrying into the distant country to be with Yi Chen. Even if he was just sitting quietly like that, he would think of it. He used to like to watch her frowning in thought from behind.
.
Yi Chen is everywhere but not anywhere.
She put on her wedding clothes and sat in front of the mirror. The festive red on her body was dazzling. Bai Qige simply turned around and her eyes wandered aimlessly in the empty room.
This is the second time she has put on wedding clothes. But every time it is related to happiness. When she married Yi Chen, he hated it but she didn't love it. When the two of them loved each other to the point of life and death, she had to marry another man.
Others. God played a desperate joke on them. No one can succeed. There is no room for regrets.
Bai Qige didn't know that just when she felt lost, Ning Xizui, who was about to become her second husband, was standing outside the house, just a wall away from her.
"I thought you weren't planning on leaving."
"Can I still hold it in the house for the rest of my life?" Ning Xizui laughed dumbly. Looking at the expression on his face, Su Buqi shook his head. "My foster father refused to tell me anything. I don't know whether Lu Feidu was involved in this incident.
The only thing left now is that you can tell me the truth. Don't give up. Tell me honestly what is the current situation of the prince."
"In the morning, the military advisor sent a message back. Prince Dayao is missing. His troops have stopped fighting and are stationed in place. It seems that they are planning to give up the advance and prioritize finding him. You should predict the subsequent development. According to the style of my adoptive father, tonight you
My marriage to Bai Qige will never be interfered with."
When the army was blocked, Yi Chenjing suddenly disappeared. Where could he go? Naturally, he came here alone. But Yi Chenjing's decision was not wise. At least Ning Xizui could easily detect it. He was so scheming.
Fengjiang has sent people to intercept it.[
"Ignore the prince who bravely broke into the tiger's den for now. There is someone you must meet first." Su Buqi looked around carefully. Only when he saw the people around did he knock on the wall of the stone house. A figure swayed out from the cracks of the stone house.
"Jinyan..."
Ning Xi drunkenly took a breath. Before she could step forward to help her, Su Jinyan fell to her knees with a plop.
