Zhao Kang yawned and asked people to clean the battlefield.
He had just led his men to chase down a group of Xia troops. During this period, the Xia troops were completely non-resisting.
They have been driven out by the Qian army for more than two hundred miles.
But Liu Yanran never showed up, and Zhao Kang didn't know whether the guy was scared or ran away.
This also caused some doubts in his mind.
At that moment, I thought to myself, I have to lure the snake out of the hole again, if I am sure that Liu Yanran is not among Xia's army.
Then defeat this group of Xia troops in one battle...??.
While planning, Zhao Kang returned to the camp and saw Zhou Long and Wu Xiong approaching anxiously.
"Commander!"
"What's wrong with everyone looking so panicked?" Zhao Kang laughed.
Zhou Long took out a gold medal and said, "His Majesty sent someone to summon you back to Yangzhou."
Zhao Kang was stunned and said, "Call me back to Yangzhou?"
"Yes, or there is something going on in the country!"
Zhao Kang frowned. Could it be that the epidemic was too serious? After receiving the gold medal, Zhao Kang hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay, I'll go back and you two will stay safe. You are not allowed to attack without my order."
"Those guys are scared out of their wits now, and they probably don't have the guts to take action."
Wu Xiong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Commander, we can leave this place to us."
"Fine."
After taking off his armor and getting the Flying Tiger Army ready, Zhao Kang got on the hot air balloon and rushed to Yangzhou.
The soldier controlling the hot air balloon looked at Zhao Kang and said, "Why does the commander look so worried?"
"Your Majesty suddenly summoned me back. I'm afraid it won't be a trivial matter. It's such an eventful time."
The soldier nodded, then smiled and said, "But with the commander here, these are not problems."
"You think I'm a god?" Zhao Kang sneered and knocked the soldier on the head, frowning slightly.
Why do I suddenly feel heart palpitations?
After flying for several days
, he finally arrived in Yangzhou.
Before he entered the city, he saw a man kneeling on the ground. Zhao Kang couldn't help but stepped forward, "Sun Fang, what are you doing?"
The latter's eyes were red and his body was trembling: "Your Majesty, Sun Fang failed to defend Yangzhou, and he has a heavy responsibility to bear!"
Zhao Kang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly pulled him up. "What's going on? Tell me clearly!"
"Xiao...Princess Xiao, fell ill and passed away..."
"You fart!"
Directly pushing Sun Fang away, Zhao Kang rushed into Yangzhou City.
Indescribable fear enveloped his whole body at this moment, tearing him into countless pieces.
Until he rushed into the palace, he searched around blankly.
"exquisite?"
"Linglong, where are you? I'm back, come out quickly!"
"Xiao Linglong! Come out quickly!"
"Hurry up! I'm going to be angry!"
But there was no response. He ran anxiously towards the palace hall and finally saw the figure.
"Zhao Kang." Ye Hongxue hurried forward with tears in her eyes, but was pushed away by him.
Qin Yufeng, Wu Xinyi, Cao Bailu, Gongsun Yunxiu, Song Qingyan, Elizabeth and others stepped forward but were knocked away by him.
When Zhao Kang saw the coffin, he roughly opened the coffin lid.
As if his whole body was electrocuted, he lost all consciousness and coughed out a mouthful of blood.
"Zhao Kang!"
Ye Hongxue screamed heartbreakingly, but the other party seemed unable to hear her.
With a trembling voice and his eyes fixed on the body in the coffin, he whispered, "How can you sleep here? Stop sleeping and get up quickly!"
"I'll take you to eat something delicious..."
"How about a hot air balloon ride? Get up soon!"
"Don't ignore me, you say! I will agree to whatever you ask for, Linglong, please don't sleep!"
He turned around and burst into tears. Ye Hongxue rushed up and hugged him tightly.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, Zhao Kang hurriedly said, "Hongxue, help me! Tell her to get up! She is angry with me!"
"Wake her up, let's go back! Go back to Yuanjiang County!"
"Yufeng, don't look at me! Help me coax you!"
"sorry……"
Qin Yufeng sat paralyzed on the ground, looking at Zhao Kang who was as helpless as a child, and her heart was as sharp as a knife.
Angry, Zhao Kang turned to look at the coffin and yelled, "Xiao Linglong, get up quickly! Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you!"
"Get up!"
He rushed towards the coffin like crazy, but was hugged tightly by Ye Hongxue.
A confused voice sounded at the door, calling daddy.
Zhao Kang hurriedly turned his head and pushed Ye Hongxue away with great joy, and ran over to pick up Zhao Fugui with tears streaming down his face. "Fugui son, please help daddy persuade your aunt, she doesn't want me anymore!"
"Auntie is dead." Zhao Fugui said blankly.
"Fart, your aunt is alive and well! She is just angry with me!"
After leaving Zhao Fugui behind, Zhao Kang ran towards the coffin, and no one could stop him.
After picking up Xiao Linglong, he looked at it blankly, not knowing where he was going, so he could only keep mumbling to himself as he walked.
"It's okay, it's okay! If you want to sleep, just take a nap first."
"I'll make you some steamed dumplings later."
"The frontline will soon be won, and soon there will be peace again."
A person appeared in front.
Zhao Kang saw his eyes light up and looked at the man who was also grieving. He smiled and said, "Xuan Ce is here."
Yes! I'm telling you, this kid hasn't studied hard during this time, beat him!"
"Your Highness, when your sister wakes up, you will be dead, haha!"
"Old Zhao."
Xiao Xuance let out a hoarse cry and looked at Zhao Kang who was going crazy.
"What for?"
"My sister is sleeping. Give her to me. I'll send her to rest first. Otherwise, it won't be good for the minister to see later." Xiao Xuance said while holding back tears.
Zhao Kang nodded quickly, "Okay, I'll just say she is asleep. Xuance, you should study hard and don't make your eldest sister angry again."
"I will." Xiao Xuance stepped forward and took over his sister, not caring that the other party died of the epidemic.
Zhao Kang followed him, sent him all the way back to the room, and covered him with the quilt.
Then he squatted beside the bed and Xiao Xuance said sadly, "Old Zhao."
"You go down first, I'll keep watch here. Your sister will get angry if she wakes up and can't see me. Last time I came back, she scolded me to death because I didn't go to the palace to see her."
"Well."
After glancing at Zhao Kang who was holding Xiao Linglong's hand and saying something beside the bed, Xiao Xuance turned around and walked out of the room.
A person outside the room was also looking at the room in trance.
She had never seen such a side of Zhao Kang, watching Xiao Xuance walk out of the room.
Gongsun Yunxiu clenched his fists. After confirming that she was infected, the former empress only saw two people.
One was Ye Hongxue and the other was her. After hesitating for a long time, Gongsun Yunxiu turned around and returned to the main hall.
Seeing all the women who were shedding tears, they made up their minds.
In the closed room, people's voices kept coming out, as if they were tired day after day.
I don't know how long it took, but someone pushed open the door of the room and looked at Zhao Kang, who had white hair and red eyes.
