Half blood

There was a panic on the river embankment, soldiers were coming and going on the embankment, and a loud shout resounded through the entire embankment.Li Xuan's eyes eagerly searched the crowd, but he couldn't find that familiar figure no matter what.

At this moment, a soldier walking past him in a hurry, he hurriedly stopped him and asked, "What happened on the embankment?"

The little soldier replied: "There was a hole in a section of the embankment that was eaten by termites and it collapsed."

"Is anyone hurt?"

Xiao Bing shook his head and said: "I don't know yet. I am busy repairing the dam and the water level has risen. If it cannot be repaired, it will be a big problem."

When Li Xuan heard this, his heart was still hanging in his throat, he wondered if Li Xiuqi would be so unlucky and fell down.He let go of the little soldier, and then searched on the embankment. He thought that if he could see the person, he would really feel relieved.

At this time, there was a commotion among the people on the embankment, and Li Xuan heard a person say: "Oh, there are people, there are people below."

When Li Xuan heard it, he felt that all the blood in his body rushed to his head. He wanted to hurry over to see who fell, but his feet dared not move as if they were filled with lead.He clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He felt that his nose and mouth were full of the smell of river water and rain. He secretly comforted himself, saying: "The person who fell may not be him..."

Thinking of this, he moved to go over, but suddenly saw a familiar figure.The man was wearing a black official uniform, a jade crown on his head, and a jade belt on his body. He stood with his back to him. His figure was a little thin, but straight like a pine tree.

Li Xuan looked at this figure quietly, he stretched out his hand to touch the rain that captivated his eyes, a smile cracked at the corner of his mouth, he felt he was relaxed from head to toe, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually widened, In the end, it turned into a relieved laugh. It turns out that the most hearty thing in the world is a false alarm.

This laughter made Li Xiuqi turn around from the crowd. Amidst the people coming and going and misty rain, Li Xiuqi saw Li Xuan alone with his back facing the mighty river. Immortal Jiang.

Li Xiuqi stepped forward, bowed to Li Xuan, and said, "Your Highness... just happened to this embankment, you can't laugh like this..."

Li Xuan was still smiling, he opened his arms, as if to give him a hug, but when the hand touched him, he retracted tremblingly, and finally landed on his shoulder.Li Xuan patted it lightly twice, and said, "It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine..."

Li Xiuqi felt that there was an expression on Li Xuan's face that he had never seen before, this expression he had seen from Li Fei before, it was the treasure-like love when Wei Yuan's letter was taken away from him.Li Xuan and Li Fei look very similar, but Li Xuan is tougher.At that time Li Xiuqi had thought about it, what kind of woman would he be able to get so lucky in this world, who could catch Li Xuan's attention?Thinking of this, Li Xiuqi was stunned, lowered his eyes, and sighed in his heart: "It's overstepped."

Wei Yuan, who still had a bandage on his arm, stood beside Li Xiuqi at some point, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm fine, if anyone wants to know."

Li Xuan hurriedly took back the hand on Li Xiuqi's shoulder, and said, "Brother Wei is fine," and then stammered, "I rushed over as soon as I heard something happened on the embankment. I heard someone fell?"

Wei Yuan nodded, he sighed, and said: "It's Rongda, he came to the embankment today for some reason, and the water has been rising for the past few days. If it falls down, it will be gone..." Li Xuan's expression darkened when he heard this, and he asked, "How is Rongda doing now?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "It should be impossible..."

Li Xuan's heart trembled, thinking of Rong Nuo's crazy expression just now, he said in a low voice: "I wonder what Miss Rong will do if she finds out."

Wei Yuan said: "I brought Rongda into the barracks. He has no other relatives except this daughter. Now this child has no father and no mother. He is young. We will help Rongda's funeral. Then Rong Nuo That child..." Wei Yuan thought for a while, and said: "You are old enough, if you marry after three years of mourning, you will inevitably become tongue-tied after staying in the military camp for these three years, so let's marry before Rongda's death. "

Li Xuan said: "Could it be that Big Brother Wei has already thought of a candidate? Marriage is a big event, so don't be hasty."

Wei Zhong listened, lowered his eyebrows and pondered, and said: "It's true, then I will recognize her as my younger sister and mourn in the camp for three years. After three years, if she wants to belong to her, she will marry her lover. If it is not up to me Brother Yi is in charge. In short, General Dai Rong will take good care of this child."

After hearing this, Li Xuan admired Wei Zhong's magnanimity in his heart, and he said: "Just do what Brother Wei said, and carry Rongda's bones back today. According to the customs in the south, This white wedding has been done."

Rongda's body was carried by two people on a stretcher, covered with a white cloth, and carried back to the camp.The rain gradually subsided, and when we walked back to the camp from the embankment, there was not even a trace of rain and dew on the white cloth.

According to the custom in the south, old banyan trees with a diameter of four inches and a length of three feet are used, arranged horizontally and vertically at intervals of half a foot, and stacked three feet high. The wellhead is filled with sawdust and licorice, and the last layer is densely paved.Put half a foot of hay on it, pour palm oil on it, spread four layers of straw mats, and put your body on it.After chanting, four monks lit fires at the four corners.It took more than an hour for the fire to burn out.

Rong Nuo knelt in front of the coffin alone, with tears in her eyes, Li Xuan walked over, patted her on the shoulder with one hand, and comforted her softly: "Miss Rong, you can't be resurrected after death, so mourn..."

With tears on her cheeks, Miss Rong murmured: "I'm such a disaster, it's not enough to kill my mother, but I have to kill my father..."

After hearing this, Li Xuan sighed softly, and said, "Girl, don't think so. When you met me that day, you said you don't want to arrest your father and make him a strong man on the embankment. Is it because you foresaw something?"

Rong Nuo didn't shake her head or nod, just lowered her head silently, she replied softly: "I can dream, I dream that the embankment collapsed and my father fell in, but he can't speak, can't cry out , no one can hear him, he's just down there alone, down there alone..." Rong Nuo's voice became weaker and weaker, until finally it became a shallow sob.

Hearing this, Li Xuan felt uncomfortable. He thought that Rong Nuo was only 14 years old this year, and he and Li Fei were not easy when they were 14 years old, making troubles everywhere every day.But|Rong Nuo is so pissed, without a father or a mother, he is alone.Li Xuan said: "Miss Rong, if you don't dislike me, then I will recognize you as my younger sister just like Brother Wei, and I will take care of you with Brother Wei in the future, so you will not be alone."

After hearing this, Rong Nuo smiled softly with tears in his eyes, and said: "I don't have such a blessing, I know it, you are the eldest prince today, if I become your righteous sister, then I will become a golden princess and jade leaves ?”

"What's wrong with that?" Li Xuan didn't think about it, blurted out, and it was a little strange to think of it after finishing speaking. When did Rong Nuo know his identity?Then he asked, "How do you know that I belong to the First Prince?"

Rong Nuo replied indifferently: "It's not easy? You are from the capital, and even the Great General Wei gave you three points, and your eyes are slightly brown, with the blood of Qingzhou Kingdom. I think you can know that you are the current eldest prince." .”

Li Xuan was surprised when he heard this, and said, "So you knew it from the beginning?"

Rong Nuo nodded, and said again: "You are different from ordinary people, and you have the air of an emperor. If you stay here, the south may be able to escape this catastrophe."

Li Xuan then asked: "Is this the deep meaning of what you said to me that day?"

Rong Nuo smiled wryly, and said: "I really don't remember what I told you that day. After that day, I never dreamed, except today." Rong Nuo sighed softly, and said: "What's the point of that? What? Even if I knew, it wouldn’t change anything. I knew from the beginning to the end that my father would die on the dam, but I couldn’t stop it. That’s all, so far, there is nothing to say.”

After finishing talking, Rong Nuo leaned down and quietly kowtowed to her deceased father, she said softly: "Father, how many kowtows have you kowtowed to others for me, I will kowtow to you today." Knocking on the ground, there was a clear and crisp sound in the silent camp, the sound was like jade stones knocking each other, and there was no sound.Li Xuan silently backed away from Rong Nuo, walked to his room, turned around halfway there, saw the fire in front of the camp, and Rong Nuo was alone in front of the coffin, standing alone.

Li Xuan returned to the house, spread out the books he borrowed from Gastrodia Ma, and read them by the light of the fire.But his heart was in a mess, his eyes were full of small words, but none of them entered his heart.Hearing the sound of rain outside the house again, he got up and pushed the door open, looked up at the continuous rain, and felt worried, not knowing when it would rain again.

Just as he was thinking, he saw that the door of a house with candles on the opposite side was gently pushed open. Li Xiuqi came out of the house. He changed into a blue cotton dress, his hair was not tied up, and a few strands were dripping with water. His hair falls to his shoulders.When he raised his eyes, he happened to look at Li Xuan who was also standing outside the house.

"Why didn't your Highness sleep so late?" Li Xiuqi asked?But his voice was made unreal by the crashing rain, Li Xuan simply strode over and said, "I didn't hear what you just said."

Walking in front of Li Xiuqi, Li Xuan saw Li Xiuqi's side face clearly by the candlelight in the room. His face was shrouded in a faint yellow mist, and the good-tempered smile was still on his lips. Xuan watched silently, and for some reason, his heart started beating wildly again.

"Why didn't your Highness sleep so late?" Li Xiuqi asked again.

"Actually, it's not too late. The noise of the rain makes people sleep uneasy. How about you, why didn't you sleep?"

"I want to go and see Miss Rong," "Let her stay alone for a while," Li Xuan said, Li Xuan raised his eyes to Li Xiuqi, saw that he was also looking at him, he looked away, and asked: " Do you believe that anyone in this world can predict the future?"

The author has something to say: Thank you for your comments, Qingzhi will listen to everyone's opinions extensively, and use the correct posture to pull the light [cross out].

I was a bit stuck when I wrote this chapter. When I read novels, I can’t see any characters dying, but when I start writing, I can’t control my prehistoric power.I personally like the role of Rongda very much. The corners of his eyes were wet when he kowtowed for Rong Nuo, but the foreshadowing has been buried to this point. Qingzhi really can’t think of other ways to get back. He can only write it like this. Everyone lightly .

If you are new to the road, please put forward any constructive suggestions, let's make progress together, okay~!
