Su Qing folded her arms and leaned against the wall, watching all of this quietly, watching the once powerful Yu Wenwen fall into this miserable end where he could barely take a sip of medicine.

After a long while, Su Qing suddenly clicked his tongue twice, and then said: "If you ask me, it's better to just let him die. How much more will you suffer if you hang half-dead like this?"

Zhang Liu put down the medicine bowl helplessly. He glanced at Su Qing and said, "Your Majesty, don't be like this..."

Su Qing shrugged and said he would stop talking.

Only then did Zhang Liu pick up the medicine bowl again and feed Yu Wenwen into his mouth bit by bit.

Su Qing was silent. He looked at Yu Wenwen who was unconscious on the bed and the medicinal soup was flowing down the corner of his mouth, but what he was thinking about was another scene.

He seemed to see a dark room and an old man paralyzed on the bed. It was as if he could smell the strange smell of urine mixed with putrid decay in his nostrils again.

Su Qing closed his eyes suddenly. He only had time to turn his head, and then spat it out with a "wow" sound.

Zhang Liu was startled: "Your Majesty? What's wrong with you?!"

Su Qing weakly waved her hand at him, indicating that she was fine.

Zhang Liu was a little worried and shouted outside: "Here comes someone! Go find Dr. Lin!"

Su Qing glanced at Zhang Liu and said that he was really fine. He was just a little pity because the meal at night was in vain.

"I'm sorry, I have soiled the camp tent. Let someone come in and clean it up..." Su Qing said.

Zhang Liu nodded, and then ordered people to come in and clean up the mess.

Su Qing glanced at Yu Wenwen again. He felt a little nauseous again. He felt that he couldn't stay here any longer, so he said to Zhang Liu: "General Zhang Liu, please let someone clean up a tent for me and come out. I can’t stay here anymore…”

How could Zhang Liu dare to let His Majesty leave his sight? So I refused without thinking.

Su Qing pointed at Yu Wenzhang, then pointed at himself and said: "You have seen me like this, do you still want me to stay with him? Are you really not afraid that I will get up in the middle of the night and take advantage of you while you are sleeping? The sword sent him directly to the west?"

Of course Zhang Liu is afraid, but Mr. Yu Wenwen cannot do without someone to take care of him now, and His Majesty does not trust him to leave him alone. It is best if he is under his nose so that he can rest assured...

Su Qing said: "I remember your camp is empty, right? There's no need to pack anything else, I just go to your place..."

Zhang Liu was still worried, so Su Qing told him: "I will call you if something happens. You don't have to worry about me. Just take care of Yu Wenwen. As for the rest, you don't need to say more. I insist on this matter."

Seeing that Su Qing was resolute, Zhang Liu had no choice but to agree, but he still arranged some extra guards for Su Qing and surrounded his tent tightly, for fear that something would happen to him.

Su Qing, who finally had his own tent, did not refuse Zhang Liu's arrangement. As long as he can be left alone for a while, anything will do.

Su Qing was escorted by Zhang Liu's guards and arrived at Zhang Liu's tent. His tent was very simple, with almost no other furnishings except a bed and a table.

Zhang Liu had moved all his military affairs to Yu Wenwen's place and would not come back here normally, so there was no brazier in the tent. The cold wind blew in through the cracks in the tent, biting the bones.

Su Qing had no choice but to have someone light the brazier first.

The person who made him angry was a man in his thirties with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Su Qing recognized him. His name seemed to be Wu Peng? Was the first place in the previous archery competition.

He actually survived the previous siege war by the Huns.

"Is Wu Peng right?" Su Qing asked him.

The man was seriously lighting a fire for Su Qing. When he heard such a question unexpectedly, he was stunned for a moment. After realizing that he was asking himself, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, Wu Peng is the villain's brother." , the villain’s name is Wu Cheng.”

Su Qing was stunned. He looked at the man carefully and found that he was indeed a little different from Wu Peng. Wu Peng seemed to be taller and his eyebrows were more prominent.

Su Qing smiled and said: "I thought you were Wu Peng. I remember that your brother is very good at archery. He will definitely make great achievements in the future..."

Wu Cheng also laughed. His smile was innocent, completely different from the publicity of his brother Wu Peng.

Wu Cheng said: "The villain's mother also said so. My brother is the most promising person in our family. We never doubted that he would make a name for himself and go back to honor our ancestors. It's a pity..."

Su Qing: "What a pity?"

Wu Cheng put on a sad smile and said: "It's a pity that his life was too short. He died in the war some time ago..."

Su Qing: "..."

Wu Cheng said: "Originally, this winter...no, it's already the New Year, it should be last winter.

Last winter, our family had just finished their farm work and were about to take a breather when we were summoned by the adults and told that the Huns were raiding and wanted to fight them.

In order to protect our homeland and our country, all adult men in our country are drafted.

There are only three people in my family, my mother, my brother, and me...

It is said that my father died in a battle a long time ago, fighting against the Huns. These Huns suffered thousands of blows...

My mother was worried to death. She was over 60 years old, so she sent us out of the house with tears in her eyes.

My brother told her to rest assured that he would let her live a good life when he comes back with military merit.

It's a pity that he is dead now...

Your Majesty, being a soldier is too difficult. Maybe one day, I will be gone too, leaving my mother alone. How pitiful she must be..."

Su Qing listened silently, and the flames of the newly lit fire danced, just like his mood at the moment.

Wu Cheng finally said: "Your Majesty, when will the war end forever? There will never be a war again, okay?"

Su Qing patted him on the shoulder, and then said: "Yu Wenwen has exhausted most of their strength in fighting the Huns this time. At least in a short period of time, the Huns will never come back again.

Although the Huns were very poor this time and did not allow us to capture any loot, General Zhang Liu's army had already pushed forward and was probably at the doorstep of the Huns.

If they want to survive, they must hand over a letter of surrender. At that time, I will have someone make a treaty that will never allow them to get back on their feet.

And from now on, eight hundred miles north from here will be our land of the Western Wei Dynasty.

I asked people to circle a piece of it and use it as a racecourse for soldiers to train. Our army will become stronger and stronger, so strong that no one dares to invade.

As for those who died on the battlefield, they were all buried deep in the ground to be used as fertilizer. When the vegetation grows lush in the coming year, burn it on fire to make fertilizer.

Year after year like this, I don’t believe that this barren land will not become fertile soil.

I will also implement administrative decrees to distribute these lands to the hard-working people.

And for the soldiers who died on the battlefield this time, when I return to the capital, I will also arrange for people to take good care of their families..."
