Chen Danzhu felt as if she was being thrown into the dark lake again, and her body was sinking slowly and feebly. She could not struggle or breathe.
But why did she say again?
When she didn't fall into the water, no, it seemed like she did. She was struggling in the lake, and her hands seemed to be grabbing someone.
It didn't seem like there was such a person who carried her out of Yao Fu's place and ran wildly with her on his back.
She remembered that it was a bamboo forest.
However, it didn't seem like it was a bamboo forest. She opened her eyes in the dark lake water and saw white hair like water plants. In the swaying white hair, a person was far and near.
Why does Bamboo Forest have a head full of white hair? This is not Bamboo Forest. Who is he?
Chen Danzhu tried his best to open his eyes wide and reached out to brush away the white hair floating in front of him, trying to see clearly the person close at hand——
She couldn't bear the suffocation anymore, so she opened her mouth wide and took a deep breath.
There was no lake water pouring in, only A Tian's surprised cry "Miss——"
Chen Danzhu opened her eyes, and her eyes were dim, but it was not pitch black, and she was not in the lake. Her vision gradually cleared, including the tent in the evening, A Tian who was crying beside her, and the bamboo forest standing still.
There were noisy footsteps outside the camp, and it seemed like there were lit torches everywhere, and the whole camp was burning red.
After a brief period of unconsciousness, Chen Danzhu regained consciousness and immediately became confused - she would rather not be awake, because what she was facing was not reality.
"Miss -" A Tian saw the girl's face turned rosy when she just woke up, and turned pale again in the blink of an eye. She thought of the scene where Chen Danzhu fainted before, and hugged her in fright, "Miss, please stop crying."
, your body can't bear it, now that the general is gone, you have to hold on."
The general is gone. Chen Danzhu's heart was wandering, but he did not faint. He grabbed A Tian and stood up: "I'll go to the general's place to have a look."
A Tian hugged her and advised: "There are people at the general's side, so you don't have to go there, miss."
Chen Danzhu said: "I know, I'm not here to help. I just go and take another look. I won't be able to see it anymore."
A Tian burst into tears and tried to help her, but she was not strong enough, and Chen Danzhu had just woken up and felt weak. The master and servant almost fell, but luckily a hand came over to hold them up.
Chen Danzhu and A Tian look at the bamboo forest.
"Bamboo Forest." Chen Danzhu said, "Why are you still here? The general's side -"
Zhu Lin's face was as dull as ever: "The general gave me an order to be Miss Danzhu's bodyguard. The general has not taken back the order yet."
There will be no more orders from the general in the future, and the young guard's eyes turned red.
Chen Danzhu lowered her eyes to prevent herself from crying. She couldn't cry now. She had to cheer up. As for what she should do to cheer up, she didn't know -
"Let's go," she said.
When I walked out of the camp, I found that I was right next to General Iron Mask's Chinese Army tent. The military formation surrounding the Chinese Army tent was still dense, but it was still different from before. No one was allowed to get close to the Chinese Army tent.
Seeing Chen Danzhu approaching, the guards outside the Chinese army's tent lifted the curtain, and everyone standing in the tent turned their heads.
Seeing the girl being supported by A Tian and Zhu Lin, the third prince and County Sheriff Li stopped talking.
"Danzhu." The third prince said.
Chen Danzhu turned a blind eye to the people in the room and slowly walked towards the bed in the middle. She saw an empty futon beside the bed, which was where she had been kneeling before -
When Fenglin heard that the general had passed away, she rushed in in despair, and saw the iron-faced general surrounded by doctors. At that time, she was in despair, but she seemed to be extremely sober. She squeezed over to check for herself, used a silver needle, and shouted
He gave many prescriptions——
No one stopped her, they just looked at her sadly until she slowly sat down holding the Iron Mask General's wrist. The wrist after removing the armor became even more slender, like a dead branch.
The dead branches have no pulse, and the temperature is gradually dissipating.
The old man's life was passing away.
"——Where is Wang Xian?"
"——I have already entered the palace to report to His Majesty——"
"——Did he go to report the news or ran away——"
"——Third Highness, you are here, I will go see His Majesty——"
The camp was noisy and chaotic, and everyone was coping with this sudden situation. The military camp was under martial law, and the capital was under martial law. No one else was allowed to know until the emperor got the news. The army generals came from all directions - but this has nothing to do with Chen Danzhu.
.
Chen Danzhu didn't care either. She sat in front of the bed and looked at the old man. She found that apart from his skinny arms, he was actually not very tall. He was not as tall as his father Chen Liehu.
Her eyes fell on the old man's face, which was still covered by the iron mask. She reached out to lift the mask, and the people next to her saw it and hurriedly stopped her, "Miss Danzhu, the general doesn't want people to see his face."
Chen Danzhu said: "His face is his merit. When people see it, they won't laugh at it, they will only be in awe."
Seeing her like this, the man stopped stopping her. Chen Danzhu lifted the mask of the iron-faced general. This iron mask was put on afterward. After all, he was treating illnesses and taking medicine.
The injury on his face under the mask was more serious than Chen Danzhu imagined. It seemed as if a knife had slashed his face diagonally. Although it was an old injury that had healed, it still looked hideous.
Chen Danzhu looked at him carefully. No matter what, at least he was acquainted with him. Otherwise, when he recalled it in the future, he would not even know what his adoptive father looked like.
Several generals also came to look at it and sighed in a low voice, "After all these years, the general still looks like he was injured." "I was really frightened at that time. I couldn't stand up. The general's face was bleeding.
But he still stood with his sword in hand and continued to fight."
Chen Danzhu didn't listen to anything else they said. She knelt and sat beside the bed in a daze until her eyesight went dark and she collapsed.
When she came in again, she was still kneeling on the futon.
At this time, there were no longer as many people in the room as before. The doctors had all left, and the generals, except those who stayed behind, all went to work——
But there wasn't any big confusion.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general is old and injured, and the army has been prepared for it a long time ago."
"Everything is in order, there will be no problems."
The two generals whispered to the third prince.
The third prince nodded: "I believe the general has already made arrangements, so don't worry. You can go and do your work. I can't do anything else. Just let me stay here with the general and wait for my father to arrive."
They responded and left.
The third prince looked at Commander Li again: "Master Li, something unexpected happened. Now there is only one civil servant here, and with the imperial edict, I would like to trouble you to go to the army to help suppress it."
This imperial edict was to arrest Chen Danzhu, but - Governor Li understood the concerns of the third prince. The general's death was so sudden. Before His Majesty arrived, everything must be done carefully. He glanced at the woman sitting beside the bed.
My child, I went out with the imperial edict.
The third prince looked at A Tian and Zhu Lin again: "I want to say something to Miss Danzhu, please step aside first."
A Tian and Zhu Lin looked at him, neither of them moved, their eyes wary. They all still remembered that Chen Danzhu seemed to have a dispute with Zhou Xuan and the third prince alone in the camp.
Chen Danzhu said: "You guys go out first." He turned around and smiled at A Tian and Zhu Lin, "Don't worry, the general is still here."
Although the general has become a corpse, can he still protect her? Zhu Lin and A Tian's eyes turned sour, and they bowed their heads and retreated.
The camp became even quieter. The third prince walked to Chen Danzhu and sat on the ground, looking at the girl who was sitting on her knees with her back straight.
"Danzhu." He said with some difficulty, "This matter-"
Chen Danzhu interrupted him: "Your Highness, there is no need to say more. I checked before and found that the general was not poisoned by you." After saying that, he turned to look at him and smiled, "I should say congratulations to Your Highness for your wish coming true.
"
They sat so close to each other as they had done many times before, and Chen Danzhu smiled at him, but at this time the girl's eyes were desolate and cold, something the Third Prince had never seen before.
He thought that he was no longer afraid of any harm, whether it was physical or mental, but when he saw the girl's eyes, his heart still tore with pain.
