Things that became cannon fodder through time travel

Chapter No.16

When Chu Chenxing woke up, he was lying on the wooden plank, surrounded by dry and warm. It was obvious that someone deliberately arranged it. Chu Chenxing moved his head, got up, and saw Zi Xiyan squatting on the side decocting medicine. "Are you awake?" Hearing the voice, Zi Xiyan stood up, went to the bed and helped Chu Chenxing to sit up, brought the water in front of Chu Chenxing, Chu Chenxing took a few sips, and asked, "Where are we?" Zi Xiyan took the bowl and replied: "We are in the place of refuge. This is the high ground in the capital. Most of the people in the capital are here. It's hard to say what's left." Chu Chenxing sighed, just about to say something, Zi Xiyan took the words: "Also, don't help these people casually in the future." Chu Chenxing was not convinced, and took the words: "Then do you want me to watch these people die like that? Do you think I can bear it?" Zi Xiyan said angrily: "Chu Chenxing, can you think about it, what should I do if you are gone? Do you know what I was thinking the moment you were pushed down? You are alone!" Chu Chenxing raised his head abruptly.Seeing Zi Xiyan's red eyes, he knew that what he said was wrong. At this moment, no one would care about the people around him.Zi Xiyan also realized that what he just said was wrong, and then said: "The housekeeper is gone, many people in the family are gone, I can't find them, I don't want, I don't want, I won't see you as a friend again." Chu Chenxing reached out and grabbed Zi Xiyan Zi Xiyan walked over without saying a word, weighed out the medicinal soup in the small pot, handed it to Chu Chenxing, watched Chu Chenxing finish drinking the medicine, and said: " You just recovered from typhoid fever, it's better to rest, I'll go to the teacher and I'll be back in a while." Chu Chenxing nodded and fell asleep.

Chu Chenxing woke up in the middle of the night, feeling that there was someone lying beside him, and after slowly turning around, he met Zi Xiyan's face directly.There was no moonlight, only a little bit of light brought by the faint charcoal fire, the rain was still falling, probably much less, and there was the sound of water dripping in the tent, Chu Chenxing couldn't see clearly Zi Xiyan just felt safe and fell asleep in a daze.Zi Xiyan opened his eyes after hearing Chu Chenxing's even breathing. Due to his childhood training, his eyesight in the dark was not bad.Chu Chenxing fell asleep peacefully, Zi Xiyan moved closer, and his lips touched the tip of Chu Chenxing's nose, Zi Xiyan was a little scared, seeing that Chu Chenxing hadn't woken up, he lowered a little, and put his lips on Chu Chenxing's chin.Zi Xiyan was a little annoyed, the first time he wanted to see if Chu Chenxing would wake up, but this time he wanted to kiss, but failed.Zi Xiyan collected himself, and finally put his lips on Chu Chenxing's lower lip.The lips were a little dry, and even peeled. Zi Xiyan stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked Chu Chenxing's lower lip, feeling like a flower picker, but he still had the same happiness as a child eating candy in his heart.Then he got closer to Chu Chenxing and fell asleep satisfied.

The most terrifying thing brought about by floods is not death. When people pull corpses to the shore one by one, they should know that life and death are up to fate, and they have long been beyond their control.The most frightening thing is the famine. The corpses that people had nothing to eat disappeared one by one. Later, people went to snatch the rotting corpses. In the end, some children disappeared. The cause and effect are self-evident. Fortunately, Zi Xiyan was able to receive the rations.

In the temporary camp, all the active ministers gathered together, most of them were young people, and the older ministers could no longer hold on.Zi Xiyan frowned and looked at the blueprint in his hand.He is waiting, waiting for an opportunity.The emperor finally couldn't hold back and said, "What do you guys think?" Li Shangshu stood up and replied, "I think it is appropriate to break out of the siege. I have observed King Jin's movements recently, so I can do it today." Zi Xiyan thought about it : "Don't break through. In my opinion, the water in the imperial city is no longer growing rapidly, which means that the water in the reservoir has been used up. The river is in the flood season. If the water channel is opened up, I am afraid that King Jin's own team will also suffer. There is no way to find the dark river in the city, so I suggested that someone go out of the city wall at night, find the water inlet, and drain the water." Some people immediately objected: "Where is King Jin's troops? What if you don't break through? "Zi Xiyan said: "The results of the observation are already here. I originally planned to break through, but it must not work. King Jin's troops are full of energy. They think that the victory is sure, so they will definitely relax. This is a good time for us to leave the city." The emperor nodded Then he asked: "Then who will go?" There was silence in the tent.No one is willing to go, King Jin's men are cruel, if they are discovered, they will never return.What's more, looking for this illusory water inlet, no one is willing to take the risk based on a piece of speculation.

Zi Xiyan sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to go." All eyes were on Zi Xiyan, Zi Xiyan did not move, but lowered his head, the emperor nodded and said: "Time is tight, we will act tonight," and sent someone to assist Zi Xiyan to run errands.

Zi Xiyan returned to the tent and saw Chu Chenxing lying on the ground.Zi Xiyan went over and lay down, and said, "Chen Xing, how is today?" Chu Chen Xing said slowly, "I'm starving to death, I don't even want to talk now." Well, it should be at the far east of the shelter, with a green flag." Chu Chenxing hummed, and Zi Xiyan continued, "Take the quilt up when you sleep, and don't forget to drink water." Chu Chenxing turned around without answering, Asked: "What's wrong with you today? How do you say so much?" Zi Xiyan was stunned.He smiled and said: "It's nothing, just talk casually, go to sleep when you're tired." Chu Chenxing curled his lips and fell asleep quickly.

This sleep lasted for a long time, and when Chu Chenxing woke up again, it was already evening, and Zi Xiyan was not there. Chu Chenxing got up, a little dizzy, got out of the tent, and asked someone, "Do you know where Zi Xiyan is?" The person pushed him away and said, "I don't know, are you sick?" Chu Chenxing was a little dizzy from being pushed, and he grabbed every passerby unsteadily and asked, "Zi Xiyan, do you know where Zi Xiyan has gone?" He replied that he didn't know him, looking at Chu Chenxing was like looking at a psychopath.Chu Chenxing's heart was trembling, and he felt something was wrong. At this time, it made him more full of purpose, but he had a crazy attachment.Chu Chenxing wandered into a tent without seeing anyone clearly, and asked, "Do you know where Zi Xiyan is?" The people in the room said, "Zi Xiyan? Are you referring to a Tanhualang?" Chu Chenxing nodded frantically. , Trying to see the person in the tent clearly, said: "Didn't Tan Hualang tell you?" The man's voice seemed unclear, and Chu Chenxing was still listening hard.I just heard the man say: "Please beg me, if I am satisfied, I will take you to find your Tanhualang." Chu Chenxing shook his head and said: "Please...please, please tell me , where is Zi Xiyan?" The man said: "It's not enough, this is also called begging for help?" Chu Chenxing heard the voice more clearly, the voice was nice and familiar, Chu Chenxing's pupils shrank and he felt bad, Trying to open his eyes, a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling was condescending towards him.

It is King Xi.
