Your Majesty, please do not

At this time, a few drops of rain suddenly fell from the cloud above.Soon it became heavier and heavier, and it became a torrential rain in an instant.

Although his hometown, Huaiyuan County, Pingliang Prefecture, Yongzhou, is not close to the border between Daping and Chaduo, the Chaduo people who are getting deeper and deeper are still attacking.The entire village abandoned their homes and fled, trekking through the mountains, trying to reach the next inhabited place before the Chado people arrived.

The mountains and plains were covered with dead vines and dead branches, and many people were injured while fleeing, their pace became slower and slower, and they fell behind.Chen Xian, Chen Zhi's younger sister, is proficient in medical skills, so she separated from her father privately and volunteered to diagnose and treat the injured, and gradually fell behind with them.

Most of the people cured by Chen Xian followed, and finally fled to Lin County together.And Chen Xian fell into the hands of Chaduo along with the last few patients who had not fully recovered.After the Chaduo army retreated, her father ran back and forth several times along the way, but did not find her body.

The pouring rain outside seemed to be pouring down from his head, and it suddenly chilled his body and mind.

The letter also said a lot of things, such as the difficult livelihood after the invasion of the Chacha people, and the constant harassment of Zhou Zhoutong after his divorce...

I couldn't bear to watch it anymore, Chen Xian's bright smile was all in my mind.

"Mr. Chen! What's the matter with you? What was written in the letter?..."

"It's okay... I... go back first."

He didn't remember how he walked back home, only that he was soaked when he entered the house.

All kinds of past events about Chen Xian appeared in front of his eyes. He rummaged around the house like crazy, found out all the things Chen Xian made, and then ran to the terrace with them, crying alone to the stars and moon.

He read his father's letter over and over again with grief, and suddenly he didn't understand, if Chen Xian died under the knife of Chaduo, why no one found her body?

Will she still hide in the mountains and forests and dare not come out?Will he go elsewhere without contacting his father?The father has always been indifferent to this daughter. Could it be that he just searched for it casually and gave up if he didn't find it?

The more he thought about it, the more he panicked, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still.At an unknown moment, he suddenly stood up, staggered downstairs, grabbed a handful of wet hair, and before he even had time to change his clothes or pack his luggage, he pushed open the door and jumped into the rain resolutely.

On a rainy night, the main hall of Weiyang Palace is facing each other:

"Refugees are also citizens of Daping. Naturally, they should focus on appeasement. How can they use spears on their own people?"

"Can appeasement calm people's grievances? All counties in Pingliang Prefecture have garrisons. Whoever dares to rebel will be suppressed directly."

"You are treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. They are short of food, so they have to transport food from the capital..."

"It used to take ten days and a half months to transport grain to the capital. The food has not arrived yet, and the city has long been occupied by refugees!"

After the fall of a large area of ​​land in Yongzhou, refugees fled to the east, making these cities overcrowded, without food and houses.As a result, dissatisfied people made troubles and caused some disturbances.

Although this matter is not big, it is urgent, so everyone can only discuss it overnight.The two prime ministers sat on the left and right, watching the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War below, arguing with each other.Liang Huan leaned on the main seat, propping his chin and frowning, suffering from a headache.

While he was restless, he saw Lu Yin entering the room, and beckoned him to come.Lu Yin went to his side, handed him a report, and said in a low voice, "You asked to go to Yongzhou to investigate..."

Liang Huan unfolded it to read a few lines, his expression turned cold, and he slapped the playbook on the table, everyone was so frightened that they immediately fell silent.

"You guys discuss it first, I will go out for a while, and come back later to see your plan."

The officials looked at him in surprise, it was raining again in the middle of the night, where should we go?

The rain was too violent, so Liang Huan still chose to go by car.

He had heard him mention his sister a few times before. Although the frequency was not many, they seemed to have a very close relationship.Liang Huan himself had never had a similar experience, so he couldn't quite understand this kind of emotion. He just felt that he must be very sad when something like this happened.

When he was sad, he should be by his side, no matter whether he let him be with him or not, he had to go, nothing else could stop him.

Liang Huan lifted the curtain and looked out. The car left the city, came to the waterlogged farmland, and drove on the country road.He suddenly saw someone riding a horse passing by the side of the road in the distance, and sighed that in this heavy rainy day, there are people who are as anxious as him.

When he came to this familiar house, Liang Huan knocked on the door with an umbrella, but he didn't respond for a while.He went around the house again, but didn't turn on any lights.

It's so late, where is he?

At this moment, he thought of the horse that passed by just now, could it be...

His heart sank immediately, he threw away the umbrella and went back to the cart, untied a horse that was pulling the cart, and stepped onto it.

He galloped in the heavy rain, stepped on the road that the horse had just passed, and saw that it was heading west, and he could reach Yongzhou by walking straight.Thinking of this, he felt more and more that the person he was looking for was on this road, so he whipped his horse whip violently.

With farmland on one side and dangerous peaks on the other, Liang Huan felt that this place seemed familiar, but he couldn't tell when he had been here.

After galloping for a while, he finally caught up with the horse in front of him far away, and saw the man who was almost paralyzed on the horse's back.Before Liang Huan could speak, the horse was frightened by the sound of hooves behind it, and suddenly neighed and raised its front hooves.

This movement was not violent, but the strength of the man on the horse's grip on the rein was too weak, so he was easily thrown out and fell to the ground.

The sudden pain made Chenzhi more and more tired. He didn't eat a bite of food at night, and wanted to go back to his horse, but he felt that he didn't have the strength to move his hands and feet.

He had to stay where he was drenched in the rain, his messy hair was sticking to his forehead and cheeks, his wet clothes couldn't cover the outline of his flesh, and he was curled up in an awkward posture.

Amidst the dense rain hitting the ground, he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching from far to near, stopping near him, and then someone got off the horse, and there was a sound of splashing water.Then, a pair of legs appeared in front of him, standing in front of him.

He didn't have the strength to raise his head at all, and he didn't care whether the man could hear him or not, so he murmured: "I'm fine...don't worry about me..."

"Xingli, it's me."

When someone called out his name, he had no choice but to look up, and saw that the man was soaked in the same way, and his face was full of worry.His mind was a little dull, and he couldn't quite remember who this person was.

"Where are you going?" the man asked with concern.

For some reason, Chen Zhi didn't take precautions against this person, so he told him when he asked: "Go to Yongzhou...to find Xian'er."

"Can you get to Yongzhou just like this?! You can't even get out of the outskirts of Beijing!" The man seemed very angry, so he leaned over, stretched out his arms to encircle him, and pushed upwards, "Go, let's go!" Go back first."

Although Chen Zhi didn't have the strength, he still tried his best to break away from him, "I won't go back, I'm going to Yongzhou, my father said that Xian'er died, there is no bones left, I don't believe it, I want to find her..."

The man pressed his arm hard and held him in his arms, "Where are you going to find it? In the mountains or in the desert? How do you get out? What do you do if you suddenly start fighting halfway through finding it? You always think about others, Don't you want your own?!"

Statement Zhi couldn't listen to what he said, just kept repeating: "I'm going...don't stop me..."

The sound of rain filled the gap in the human voice, and after a while, he was suddenly caught in an embrace, and that person hugged him tightly.

He felt as if he had been here before, and had a similar feeling a long time ago.I can't remember who this person is, but I just want to get closer for no reason, and want to get back the feeling of the past.

It's safe and comfortable here, a place to cry.Tears rolled down with the rain, and no one noticed.

"I'll get someone to help you find it, okay? Hurry up and go to Yongzhou, and you can get there in three to five days. Isn't it better than you dawdling like this?"

He understood the statement, but he didn't want to respond. Instead, he lay on the man's cold shoulder and said to himself: "Will Xian'er really die...I'm so afraid...they all gone……"

The back was lightly patted, and the man's voice could not detect emotion: "I don't know if you want to see me, but I want to be with you anyway. I don't know how to comfort you, but I... will never leave. "

The statement seemed to understand something, but it seemed to have heard nothing.

"Let's go back and talk about these things. If you continue to shower, you will really catch a cold."

Liang Huan picked him up and put him on the horse. Seeing his precarious appearance, he sat in front, grabbed his arms around his waist, and pressed his hands with one palm.Lu Yin took another horse and walked back together.

After entering the house, Liang Huan asked Lu Yin to boil water, and carried Chen Zhizhi to the bedroom to help him change his clothes.

The statement is still numb at this time, but the corners of his eyes are a little red.

Liang Huan took off his wet clothes, found a towel to wrap him up, and kept his head tied from the beginning to the end, for fear of being misunderstood by him as taking a peek.

Lu Yin brought in a tub and filled it with water. Liang Huan then told him: "Go to his kitchen and make him something to eat, something thinner."

Chen Zhi was carried into the bathtub to soak, and when the warmth spread all over his body, he gradually came to his senses and began to understand where he was and who he was with.

Bathing at this moment is not for washing clean, but for scalding the cold body.Liang Huan took a ladle of water and poured it down from his head and neck, pouring warmth into his whole body.

Chen Zhi quickly turned around, took the ladle in his hand, and lowered his haggard face with water droplets, "You rest, I will do it myself."

Seeing that he came back to his senses, Liang Huan couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, so he stuffed the ladle in his hand and smiled, "Then soak for a while, and tell me if you feel any discomfort. It's still wet, don't you mind lending you two clothes to wear?"

He familiarly found the closet of Chen Zhi, who was shorter and thinner than him, picked out his coat, and then barely put it on.

There were two knocks on the door, and Liang Huan went to the door to take the bowl from Lu Yin, and said: "Wait at the door, and I will call you in after he finishes washing."

This statement was heard by the statement, and he hurriedly said in a weak voice: "It's okay, come in..."

When Lu Yin entered the room and shrank his head, Liang Huan said: "Xingli, tell him about your sister in detail, and he will send someone to find her."

However, he did not speak for a long time. He felt that this was inappropriate. Whether it was Lu Yin or others, they were his guards. Why should he help him?

Liang Huan probably also guessed his worries, so he couldn't say anything too sincere in front of Lu Yin, so he leaned over and whispered in his ear: "It's important to save people, you put those messy thoughts first. Let go."

When he said this, Chen Zhi also felt that it was reasonable, so he gave Lu Yin a detailed description of Chen Xian's missing location and her appearance written in the letter.

After he finished speaking, Liang Huan ordered simply: "Lu Yin, don't follow me now, I won't be in danger here. You go back to the palace quickly, send a few people to Yongzhou to find someone, and leave immediately without delay. "

"Yes, the slave will go here."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi was relieved, tiredness swept over his body, he leaned against the wall of the tub, listening to the rain, and closed his eyes at some point.

When Liang Huan wanted to feed him, he found that no matter how much he yelled, he couldn't wake him up, so he had to take him out of the bucket to dry him, wrapped him in clothes and carried him to the bed.

After covering him with a quilt, Liang Huan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his sleeping face, as if he had returned to the days when he was pretending to chase after him every day.

Now it's no longer a pretense, but he is only allowed to do things for him when he is asleep.

The author has something to say: Do you still remember this place where we met?
