then Li Sao

The old city of Beiling was breached, but Dacheng's army failed to enter, nor did they get Meng Suda's head. What is even more frustrating is that their leader was seriously injured.

The Dingbei Army lost its general, and there was a sudden chaos. Some people were red-eyed and wanted to take revenge, while some looked around blankly, fearing the iron arrows coming out of nowhere. The army was caught in a dilemma.

Fang Jin knew that this was not the time to love to fight. After Zhou Tang was shot by the iron arrow, he immediately directed the overall situation, led his men to the tall building, beheaded the archer above, and chopped down the giant crossbow.

The crossbow and arrows are made of refined Hanxuan iron. Obviously, Beiling has been forging these powerful long-distance weapons after retreating to defend the old city.They didn't prepare too much in a hurry. There were only two giant crossbows, and only one bag of arrows. There were less than ten by visual inspection, which could not cause too much damage.But on the battlefield, as long as one shot hits the main target, it can bring a fatal blow to the enemy.

"Ting Ting, protect the general out of the city!"

"understood!"

Ting Ting's spear swept across, drew a circle, and knocked down the soldiers of Beiling who rushed up. Then he carefully picked up Zhou Tang and got on his horse. He was brave and brave all the way, blocking and killing Buddha, and rushed out of the city gate.

Fang Jin ordered loudly: "The general has an order! The whole army immediately abandon the city and return to the camp!"

"As ordered!"

The military order is like a mountain, and the soldiers have received strict discipline and training. At this time, they are divided into three teams, one attacking, one defending, and the other opening the way, retreating while fighting, and evacuating quickly.

When they returned to Jin Geyuan, Beiling's giant crossbow had been repaired, and Meng Suda personally supervised the battle. The iron arrows only shot at Da Cheng's fierce generals. They were still unstoppable despite being so far apart, and unexpectedly shot down two Da Cheng's generals.

In the panic, the two generals failed to dodge in time. One was shot in the back of the heart and died on the spot, and the other was shot in the leg bone and fell off the horse in pain.

An arrow flew towards Fang Jin. He learned Zhou Tang's lesson, and he didn't dare to block it. He turned his horse's head and let it go.I just felt a gust of wind brushing against my ears, making me feel chills all over my body.

Finally escaping from the range of the arrow, Fang Jin looked back and narrowed his eyes.

The general's life and death were at stake, but what he was thinking at this moment was another matter.

When Zhou Tang returned to the camp, he recovered from the severe pain and still maintained consciousness.

Ting Ting got off the horse first, and then wanted to help him down, but he pushed him away—he wanted to get off the horse by himself.

His face was bloodless, his hands and feet were weak due to blood loss, trembling, and he couldn't even step on the tread rings.Ting Ting couldn't bear it, and wanted to help, but was stopped by Fang Jin: "Let him do it by himself, he can't fall down here."

Zhou Tang is the pillar of the entire Dingbei Army. Even if he is seriously injured, he must not show weakness in front of the soldiers.

Ting Ting nodded to show his understanding, and looked up at Zhou Tang slowly getting off the horse. His mane was stained red with blood. He leaned on the horse with his hands on the arrow hole, and said with difficulty: "The Dingbei Army listens to the order!"

"Yes!"

With the rise and fall of his voice, the Dingbei Army, which suffered its first major defeat, knelt down, and the smell of rust permeated the battle for the barracks, making their hearts extremely heavy.

"The northern bandits are still alive, and this general will never die!" Although Zhou Tang was panting heavily, his tone was very firm, which subtly gave them confidence. Did you hear me!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Tang's strength was exhausted, so he recruited Ting Ting to help him make money.

As soon as he entered the tent, Zhou Tang pressed heavily on Ting Ting's body. The blood from the wound soaked through his armor. His face was pale and his mind was not clear.

"General!" Ting Ting was flustered, but he didn't dare to shout too loudly.

Zhou Tang explained a few words intermittently before he fell into a coma, and Ting Ting listened carefully to understand.

What he said was: "...Cunxue...little master...come..."

Zhou Tang was in a coma for six consecutive days, and the military doctor was so busy in the first three days that he managed to pull out the cold black iron arrow.But after that, Zhou Tang still couldn't wake up, and his body showed no signs of recovery.

Fortunately, the severe cold weather slowed down the blood flow, otherwise, the amount of blood brought out by this arrow would not be able to withstand by an ordinary person at all.But even though the arrow was pulled out, the military doctor was still worried.

"The arrow didn't hit a vital point, it's just that the cold black iron was so strong that it was sharp. The arrow was very strong, and it was caused by extraordinary manpower. The general's external wound was not big, but his lungs were injured by the shock, and his ribs were also damaged by the iron arrow. If it was broken, it would be easy to set the bone, but at this time, the general lost too much blood, I am afraid it will be difficult to bear..."

The military doctor was chattering, and there was another announcement from outside the tent: "Military division, the supervisor wants to see you."

Ting Ting said: "This superintendent is really annoying! I've been here several times!"

Fang Jin signaled him to keep silent, went out to deal with the supervising army for a long time, and finally fooled him away, and returned to his tent, he said: "The supervising army is also responsible for it, he wants to know how the general is injured, so that he can report to the general in Beijing." The little emperor reported, whether to let him fend for himself, dispatch a new general after the prince dies, or call the prince back to the capital to recuperate from his wounds."

"At that time, he acted as if he trusted the general so much. Now that he is not dead, he is in a hurry to report the funeral?!" Ting Ting looked at Zhou Tang's increasingly haggard face, anxious in his heart, and his tone was naturally not good. where to go.

"Let's ignore his affairs for the time being." Fang Jin patted the little apprentice on the shoulder, "The general's injury is complicated, and we can't draw a conclusion for a while. The little emperor doesn't need to worry about it for the time being. The top priority right now..."

"What is it?"

"The general gave us two orders. One is to retrieve Cunxue, and the other is to call Luoping. Cunxue is broken in the old city, and we can't get it for the time being, but Luoping can be called, but I don't know where to come." Not in time."

"Mr. Fang, you mean, don't tell the emperor, but tell Mr. Luo to come?"

"That's right, if he can come, maybe the general will survive." Fang Jin said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Then I'll send someone to invite you immediately!"

"No, he was injured by an arrow that day, and I have already sent someone to report."

----

The people sent by Fang Jin were all in vain.

A few days later, Xinying was released and came back to say: Mr. Luo is going back to his hometown to visit his relatives, and he is not in Beijing.

Ting Ting said: "It's broken, why is it such an unfortunate coincidence!"

Fang Jin's expression was calm, he was playing with the fan bone in his hand, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Ting Ting was in a hurry: "The general has become weaker and weaker these days. The doctor said several times that he was dying, which almost scared me to death! Beiling is about to attack the city again, so I can't wait. Why don't you give an order, Mr. Fang? I will lead the team to attack the city!"

Fang Jin said: "Wait a few more days. At this time, attacking the city is a bad idea."

"But……"

"He will come." Fang Jin interrupted him, "Where else can Luo Muquan want to visit relatives?"

Before Ting Ting could react, a notification came from outside the tent: "Military division, there is a person who claims to be the owner of the restaurant, and he said yes, he asked you for money for drinks..."

Fang Jin smiled: "Let him in."

The curtain was lifted, and a man with black hair and snow came in, dressed in plain light fur, with a faint blush on his fair face.Although there are not many outstanding features, but his face is like a crown jade, and his eyes are as clear as water, which makes people feel certain.

Fang Jin knocked on the folding fan: "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."

Luo Ping was slightly stunned at first, then shook his head and sighed: "The person who understands me best in this world is you Zhongli."

Fang Jin looked him up and down: "Mu Quan, you are much thinner."

Luo Ping said: "The carriage and horses are exhausted..."

The words were cut off at this point, Luo Ping covered his sleeves and coughed, the coughing could not stop, mixed with panting, the unhealthy red on his face became deeper and deeper.

Fang Jin's face darkened: "Are you sick?"

Luo Ping looked at him, took the tea from Ting Ting and swallowed it while holding back his cough, without answering.

Fang Jin couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to come to visit him, but Luo Ping let him go: "I'm fine, it's just a cold, the prince's injury is important, Ting Ting, go and pour a glass of warm water."

Ting Ting obediently went to pour water, Luo Ping walked to Zhou Tang's bedside, took out "Yu Suan" from his arms and said: "I originally wanted someone to bring the medicine for me, but I encountered some twists and turns, and it was always a delay." gone."

Fang Jin felt sour in his heart: "For him, why did you..."

Luoping paused for a moment: "Zhongli, you and I are just pawns in the game, life and death are fine, but Dacheng cannot live without him."

"Are you for him, or for Da Cheng?"

"..."

Ting Ting Duan Shui came back, but Luo Ping did not reply.

Fang Jin collected his emotions, looked at the pill in Luo Ping's hand and asked, "What is this?"

"Xizhao's healing medicine is from the master of the state. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a holy medicine. Although it cannot make him recover immediately, it has the effect of strengthening the muscles and bones. It is possible to protect his life."

"Well, you will never hurt him."

Fang Jin opened his eyes and called to Tingting to pay the bill.

"Hey……"

With a long sigh, Luo Ping lightly stroked Zhou Tang's face, speaking calmly before, but now his fingers were trembling slightly.

Is this gray and haggard face really Xiaotang?

He looked a little dazed.This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he saw him so vulnerable.The last time I saw him, I scolded him so vigorously and said that I would tie him up and go with him, but now I am so angry that I can't even hold my hand.

After feeding him the medicine, Luo Ping's cold palm caressed Zhou Tang's hot forehead, following his outline, eyelashes, cheeks, bridge of nose, lips...

Zhou Tang's frown that had been furrowed slowly relaxed.

— This is the hand of the little master.

With these hands, he will never admit his mistake.

There is snow everywhere in the dream, endless snow.He looked around blankly in the snow, as if he was looking for something, something lost and important, and it pained him deeply to find it.

Why is it gone?

Why did he lose something he wanted to cherish?

Who stole it?who is it!

He trekked for a long time, and saw the imperial city at the end of the snow field.

At the foot of the imperial city, he saw the person curled up in the snow and sleeping peacefully.

Yes!That's what he was looking for!

He ran over in a hurry, but he didn't dare to leave when he came close.

He saw that the man was holding a bowl in his hand, and there seemed to be some traces of water in the bowl, was it melted snow?

He saw the man's appearance clearly, it was the little master!

Why is the little master sleeping here?

He called him to no avail.No matter how he shouted, the little master just refused to open his eyes.

"I'm here to pick you up! Why ignore me! You really don't want me!" He said hoarsely.

"It's obviously your fault! It's you who want to kill me...you want to kill me Dacheng!"

"Do you want to be free now! I don't allow it, how can you!"

He didn't know what he was talking about.

The incandescent sun baked the snow on the ground, and he watched the little master's body slowly melt.

Little by little, he disappeared from his world.

This is their fate.

Grief eats away at his heart, leaving nothing behind.

However, when the last light dimmed, a hand pulled him out.

That hand wiped away the tears from his face, cursing softly: "Why is it so useless, this thing can't last anymore, and you still want to be a generation of virtuous king?"

"No one taught me to discipline me, how can I be a virtuous king."

"I will stay with you, and I will teach you from the beginning."

— Don't be afraid anymore, I'm by your side.

Zhou Tang opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him.

"Little master...you are..."

"Yes, I'm here."

Zhou Tang looked at him and blinked, then suddenly a tear came down: "Then, let's do it all over again..."

Luo Ping was stunned for a while: "...Okay, let's start again..."
