Chongxi [rebirth]

outer city.

The common people gathered on the execution ground, chanting scriptures and praying silently.The low chanting sounds merged together to form a majestic river, revealing a sense of solemnity.

After deciding to live and die with Weizhou, these people sat quietly and prayed.There is still a ten-thousandth chance in my heart, hoping that King Yong'an will also be able to repel those Xihuang barbarians this time.But if they were really defeated, at worst they would use their lives to fight Xihuang.

This waited until the morning light appeared on the horizon.

The high-pitched sound of the horn resounded over the city of Weizhou, and the expressions of the people shook—this sound represented victory.

They all looked in the direction of Weizhou City at the same time, and saw the city gate slowly opened, and a group of people came out from the city. The leader was wearing black armor, with a strong evil spirit, it was King Yong'an.

"It's King Yong'an!"

"Win!"

"We won."

Cheers sounded like a tidal wave. The common people, who had been sitting all night and whose limbs and joints were numb and stiff from the cold, ignored their physical pain, supported each other, and stood up staggeringly, with joy on their faces.

The troops brought by Li Fengqi lined up at the gate of the city. Jiang Shu stepped forward and said, "The [-] barbarian army in Xihuang was wiped out, and Weizhou was victorious. Now the city has been affected by the war, and it has been slightly damaged..." He said strangely Paused, saying that the city was "slightly" damaged is really a bit unconscionable. Those Xihuang barbarians are used to burning, killing and looting, but they don't care about the houses in the city. But many houses were burned down.Even the Governor's Mansion was affected by the war and was partially damaged.

But thinking that they are backed by two mines now, he cleared his throat and became more confident: "After everyone returns to the city one after another, if any house in their home is damaged, you can register at the yamen. After we verify it, we will compensate for the repair and reconstruction money ..."

He gave a general account of the situation in the city, and first let these people have a psychological preparation, so as not to be surprised when they see the bloody Weizhou City after returning.

The city was turned into a slaughterhouse last night, and the bloody smell has not dissipated until now.

The people heard that not only the battle was won, but the 10 soldiers and horses in Xihuang were all wiped out. Although they still don't understand the meaning of the [-] soldiers and horses in Xihuang, they couldn't stop them from being excited and joyful.Where do you still care about the house or not? Some older people wiped their tears when they thought of the suffering they had suffered under the horseshoe of Xihuang.

Under the arrangement of Jiang Shu and Zhu Lie, the people outside the city returned to the city in batches and orderly.

After all the people had left, Li Fengqi got off his horse and strode towards the altar.

There, Ye Yunting and the old concubine stood quietly.

"Mother." Li Fengqi bowed to the old concubine first, then looked at Ye Yunting, and the two eyes met silently.

"I'm very tired, so I'll go back to rest first." The old concubine looked at the expressions of the two, her eyes were kind, and she didn't get in the way of the husband and wife anymore, she asked Yiqiu to help her, and got into the carriage at the back.

Li Fengqi stared deeply at the young man with chapped lips, put his palm on the side of his face, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your hard work, are you tired?"

"Tired." Ye Yunting didn't try to be brave, he was worried all night, his eyes were dark and his voice was dry.

"I'll take you back." After Li Fengqi finished speaking, he grabbed his waist and carried him onto the horse.

Although Ye Yunting was thin, he was tall and not light.But in his hands, it seemed to be light and weightless.

"You rest for a while." Li Fengqi asked him to sit sideways on the horse, pressed the man to his chest, and wrapped him with a cloak.

It was dark in front of his eyes, and Ye Yunting was completely covered by the cloak.In the small space separated by itself, apart from the sound of light breathing, there was only the sound of Li Fengqi's chest beating.

One click, smooth and powerful.

Just like him, he is as majestic as a mountain, calm and reliable, and indestructible.

Ye Yunting took a deep breath, his nose was full of his own breath, his eyelids drooped, and he fell asleep tiredly in such a reassuring breath.

Li Fengqi controlled the speed and led him back slowly.

Zhu Lie, who was lagging behind, looked at Ji Lian who fell alone, sighed, and said to him with an expression of "it's really pitiful, but don't get used to being sad", "It seems that the carriage is prepared for you."

——They brought two carriages when they left the city, one was for the old princess, and the other one he thought was for the princess, but now it seemed that it was for the princess' little book boy.

Ji Lian scratched his head, said "Oh", looked away, and hurried into the carriage.

The speed of the carriage was much faster than that of Li Fengqi. When passing by him, Ji Lian leaned over the window and looked out. He saw Li Fengqi's eyes lowered, his expression very gentle.

He put down the curtain and sat back, thinking that the young master's effort yesterday was not in vain.

When Li Fengqi brought people back to the backyard of the Dudu Mansion, he saw Ye Wang in armor running excitedly, with two more wounds on his face, his left arm was tied to his chest with a bandage, and he was still limping when he walked. Lots of injuries, but nothing serious.A smudged face beamed with joy.

When he got close, he opened his mouth to call for someone, but was stopped by Li Fengqi's movement.

"He's asleep, what's the matter, let's talk about it later."

Ye Wang let out a low "oh", suppressed the excitement in his chest, and watched Li Fengqi carry him into the room.

"Are you there yet?" Ye Yunting was not in a deep sleep, when Li Fengqi put him on the bed, he opened his eyes in a daze, and asked a question in a muttered voice, but his hand was still holding on to the corner of Li Fengqi's clothes.

Really clingy.

Li Fengqi looked at the hand holding the corner of his clothes and thought so.

"Well, you continue to sleep. I will watch over you."

It seemed that these words made him feel at ease, Ye Yunting gave an indistinct "uh" and fell asleep again.

He is too tired.

He was tense all night, but after seeing Li Fengqi, he suddenly relaxed.

Li Fengqi sat on the side of the couch and watched over him, and only after he fell asleep did he lift up his trouser legs to check the injury on his knee.On the way to pick him up, he heard from Jiang Shu that Ye Yunting knelt in front of the altar all night in order to be a good example and to show his sincerity.

The trousers were rolled up, revealing the shocking bruises on the knees, and further down, the whole calf was a little swollen, which should be caused by kneeling for a long time.

Ye Yunting's complexion was cold and pale, and the black and purple bruises on his legs were particularly terrifying. Li Fengqi rubbed them lightly, and then he heard the sleeping man hum softly. .

Forget it, let him sleep well first.

When Ye Yunting woke up, it was almost dusk.

Li Fengqi was sitting on the side of the couch, looking sideways at him while he was reading the paperwork, his slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he was not very happy, but after noticing his gaze, turning around, all the unhappiness turned into tenderness.

"Are you awake? Do you want to take a bath first or eat first?"

Ye Yunting fixedly glanced at him a few times, and when he was about to get up, he realized that he was still holding the hem of his clothes in his hand.He suddenly understood why Li Fengqi was sitting by the couch reading documents.

"First... take a bath." After a whole night of cold wind blowing in the outer city, now he just wants to soak in hot water to dispel the chill that penetrates the bone marrow.

"I have someone prepare hot water." Li Fengqi picked him up and walked towards the bathroom.

Ye Yunting was startled, but subconsciously wrapped his arms around his neck, and the tips of his ears were burning red: "I can go by myself."

"Can you still walk?"

Hearing what he said, Ye Yunting finally noticed the swelling pain from his leg. It was indeed a little uncomfortable, but it was not too bad that he couldn't walk.

But... being carried away seems to be nothing.

He pursed his lips, did not make a sound, and let Li Fengqi carry him to the bathroom.

Li Fengqi knew his habits, so he asked his servants to prepare hot water, carried him over, loosened his clothes, and put him in the bathtub: "You soak for a while, if you want to add water, just tell me."

He stood not far away, staring at the person in the tub with burning eyes, not feeling that there was anything wrong with him stealing the servant's job of heating the water.

Ye Yunting's chin was immersed in the water, and his cheeks were reddened by the water vapor: "Oh."

After "Oh", he found that his soft armor had not been removed, obviously guarding him before he had time to take a bath and change clothes, he hesitated: "Do you want to come with me?"

"..."

Unexpectedly, he said such seductive words, Li Fengqi glanced at the clear water, saw the faint jade color under the water, and ground his molars: "Your leg is injured, I will let you go today." After finishing speaking Seemingly feeling annoyed, he added: "I'll make it up later."

Ye Yunting: "...Oh."

He didn't speak anymore, he just wanted to let Li Fengqi take a bath together, but this man obviously had something in his mind.

After changing three buckets of hot water and soaking for more than two quarters of an hour, Ye Yunting felt that he was alive again.

Li Fengqi wiped his body dry with a large cloth towel, then changed into soft and clean underwear, then carried him back to the bedroom and stuffed him into the bed.

There were two more porcelain vases on the table in the bedroom, which were brought by Li Fengqi earlier. He took the porcelain vases and sat on the side of the couch, letting him expose his legs to rub the medicine: "The bruises on the legs need to be rubbed open, this is so good Hurry up. It will hurt."

"Well, I can bear it." Ye Yunting sank into the soft quilt, only half of his face was exposed to look at him, a slender and straight leg was resting on Li Fengqi's lap, the trouser leg was rolled up, and the toes were shy. curled up.

Li Fengqi couldn't hold back and squeezed his round toes, in exchange for a light kick, just now he gave a low laugh and poured the medicinal wine into his palm to warm it up: "Don't bear the pain, I... try to be as light as possible."

After speaking, he controlled the strength in his palm and carefully rubbed away the bruise on his knee.

After the medicine was applied to both legs, Li Fengqi rubbed the acupuncture points on his calves and soles for a while to clear the meridian and activate collaterals. Then he cleaned his hands and asked, "Are you hungry? Shall I ask someone to prepare a meal?"

"A little bit." Ye Yunting nodded honestly.

He was sitting on the bed, wearing only a loose undershirt, his hair was in a bun, casually draped over his shoulders, his eyebrows were beautiful, his whole person looked lazy and soft, and his eyes looked at him with affection and dependence.

Li Fengqi's heart trembled when he saw him, and he wished he could hug him on his lap and bring him a rice bowl to feed him.

Ye Yunting didn't know what was going on in his heart, but when he was eating, he only felt that the way Li Fengqi looked at him always had a weird...love?

"..." He felt that he probably thought too much.
