Chapter 1342: Zhao Shen goes south, Shen Tang goes west
Chapter 1342: Zhao Shen returns south and Shen Tang heads west
After having lunch, Zhao Shen did not stop in Lianli City, but chose to leave directly.
After all, his coming to Lianli City this time was a bit risky, and he also hid it from the civil and military forces of Chao Zhong! Now that the matter was done, he naturally did not need to stay, and besides Zhao Ming, there was also Zhao Ming who left with him. spirit!
At the same time that Zhao Shen's carriage was heading south, Shen Tang also left Lianli City! The Fengxiang Mansion was very powerful, and Zhao Shen really didn't want to wait another day. For this reason, Zhao Shen personally presented Liu Xiangling with the dignity of an emperor. I expressed my apology! Although the monarch and his subjects are supreme, it is really not a shameful thing for a husband to leave his pregnant wife to go to the battlefield.
On the southbound carriage, in the huge carriage, Zhao Shen looked at the girl who was crying silently opposite, feeling a little depressed!
"Why!"
He sighed softly. Even he didn't know how some things would turn out in the future, including the relationship between his sister and Shen Tang! How difficult is it for a princess of a country to marry a married man?
This is in the Central Plains where ethics and ethics are strict, not in the open barbarians!
"By the way, this is what that bastard...boy left for you!"
Zhao Shen thought of the letter in his hand. It was not that he had forgotten it, but that he had not originally planned to give it to Zhao Ling. However, now that he saw his sister so sad, he still softened his heart!
"Brother Shen?"
Zhao Ling wiped away her tears and eagerly snatched the letter and held it in her arms, as if... hugging her lover...
After heading southwest from Lianli City and passing through the west side of Sizhou, Shen Tang's team turned west and headed straight for Fengxiang Mansion!
There were many people traveling with him this time. In addition to carrying the Wei army, Cheng Yuhu's troops also followed him! And Cheng Yuhu's troops have now been certified by Zhao Shen and have become Zheng'er. The Shen Jiajun of the Eight Classics.
On horseback, Shen Tang looked solemn. However, he was not worried about the upcoming battle, but was recalling the last conversation between Zhao Shen and him in his mind!
"Shen Tang, whether this battle is a war or a peace, I will leave it all to you! You don't need to worry about the matters above the court. I, the emperor, am not that useless! As for Ling'er's matter, I will not intervene. What obstacles did you set up? However, you should know exactly what the obstacles are. Moreover, in addition to removing these obstacles, you also need to give me a reason, a reason that allows me to hand over Ling'er to you with confidence and above board. !”
"I am the emperor of the Song Dynasty, but I am also Ling'er's brother! Ling'er told me that for you, she asked me to find a suitable opportunity to announce the sudden death of Princess Guangling! Then, she can go to the princess's house Shackles, I will follow you to Shen Tang incognito! Yes, this is indeed a good way. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the past dynasties. In fact, this is almost the only way that can bring you two together."
"But, as the elder brother, I am not happy! My sister, Zhao Shen, is the most noble person in the entire Song Dynasty. Why can't she be just and above board and get married in a sedan chair?
She deserves to be treated more noble than everyone else! So, if that is the solution, I would rather lock her in the palace forever."
"I can give you a chance. I, Zhao Shen, don't want my sister to be wronged!"
When he said these words, Zhao Shen didn't look like an emperor at all! They say emperors are ruthless, but at this time, Zhao Shen was just like the most ordinary brother, feeling sorry for his sister!
Shen Tang just nodded, but didn't say much! Just as Zhao Shen said, he was very aware of the difficulty and hardship involved, but this was what he, as a man, should have shouldered! Even if he gave up everything , so what if we are enemies of everyone in the world?
Zhao Ling, a princess, could go all over the place for her, how could she let her down?
As for Xiangling, Shen Tang is also reluctant to let go! Now, Xiangling is more than three months pregnant, and her originally flat waist has gradually revealed a bit of laziness. As a husband, he should have been with her, but for Xiangling didn't complain about his departure.
"Husband, take care of yourself, I and the baby in my arms are here waiting for your return!"
Being able to have such a wife is really the greatest honor and happiness for a man!
"call!"
Shen Tang took a deep breath and his eyes gradually focused. Next, he had to do many things, for Xiangling, for Ling'er, and for all the people he wanted to protect!
"drive!"
The whip was whipped hard on the horse's belly, the war horse neighed, and the horse's hooves galloped...
In Lianli City, accompanied by Mu Yu and Wanyan Yue, Xiang Ling lazily basked in the sun. She caressed her slightly bulging waist from time to time, with longing, expectation and satisfaction on her face!
On the southbound carriage, Zhao Ling looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter and burst into tears again!
"Even if we are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, I will not give up! Ling'er, wait for my return!"
Mentioning separation is always emotional, some people feel melancholy and others cry!
Fifteen miles south of Dashan Pass, in a wilderness, lonely tombs rise from the ground. Although it is spring, it is all white!
These lonely graves are the corpses of the Song Dynasty soldiers brought back from the battlefield of Fengxiang Mansion! Originally, the best and easiest way to burn these corpses was to burn them on the spot, but the stubborn Wu Lin desperately burned them They brought it back!
Originally, there were some objections! It is not unacceptable for a general to wrap his body in horse leather. Moreover, carrying these countless corpses is not only laborious, but also brings potential danger to the entire army.
However, Wu Lin only said one sentence, and no one objected.
"Brothers, they all say that fallen leaves return to their roots! Now Fengxiang Mansion no longer belongs to the Song Dynasty. I can't let my brothers stay here and become lonely ghosts! I want to take them... home!"
In a word, everyone carefully collected the corpses one after another. Zhang Jun even personally sent a small team of soldiers to the previous battlefield to search for the corpses that could be recovered.
In this regard, the Jin people did not stop them! Even with Tu Dan Kening's acquiescence, the Jin soldiers stationed locally provided some help to the Song army.
On the battlefield, swordsmen imagined, fighting to the death, but when the fight was over, both sides would clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses of their brothers. This is not a strange thing! The Song and Jin countries do have many different customs and habits, but, As human beings and warriors, even if they are hostile, they are understandable!
As time went by, Wu Lin's condition improved a lot. Even though it was still inconvenient to ride a horse, walking slowly was no longer a problem. Today, he walked alone to this lonely place that he could not see. Before the grave!
