All your life is gentle

The eighth day of July.

In the morning, all the officials gathered again in Chenghui Hall to listen to General Jin Wu's report on the latest situation.

"The people who sent out the city to ask for help have not heard back from the north and west. I'm afraid...only the news came from the south last night. Ling Guangwei and the imperial guards stationed in the palace are fighting fiercely with the Xibing soldiers at Nanshan Pass. But..." Ning Que paused for a while. After a pause, he continued: "However, I have requested support from the city several times, and the Ministry of War is discussing this matter. In addition... just after Yinshi this morning, enemy troops have also appeared outside the Xiping Gate, driving away the refugees. Look at the other party's actions , it seems that they want to make room for attacking the city. Our soldiers are ready to fight..."

Both Zhao Ju's eyes were bloodshot, and he said in a trembling voice, "It's... a fight?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Xirong people lined up at the city, but there is no movement. I think they were overwhelmed by my mighty military appearance, so they didn't dare to act rashly..."

The number of troops attacking the Panqu Pass in the west was the smallest, and it was only necessary to strangle the pass.Yesterday, he suddenly received an order from the prince to force him to surrender as soon as possible.So he followed the method of the military adviser and used a classic strategy of using all plants and trees as soldiers. Therefore, from the perspective of Xijing City, the west side is more spectacular than the east side.

The people who were detained outside the Xiping Gate all thought they were having a nightmare when they woke up and found that they were surrounded by the Xirong Army.It wasn't until he was blasted far away by the opponent that he touched his neck to make sure his head had not moved.The soldiers were like wolves and tigers one by one, seeming to drive them away randomly, but in fact they drove them all to the direction of the North Gate without knowing it - you must know that in the presupposition of King Jingbei, Bei'anmen must not become a battlefield.

Among them, a very small number of people with courage and good physical strength traveled through forests and mountains, and escaped to the city by small roads, but unexpectedly the whole city was under martial law, and nine out of ten they were spotted by patrolling soldiers and were shot to death on the spot.

After Ning Yu finished his report, the whole hall was dead silent.No matter how slow-witted people are, they can understand: the enemy has surrounded all four sides of Xijing, except for the fighting on the south side, the Ruijian Battalion troops on the other three sides are clearly in danger.Tuokou Pass had been occupied long ago, and the envoy left through Bei'anmen. The other party's intention could not be clearer: King Jingbei was waiting in the north, asking Xijing's monarchs and ministers to leave the city and surrender.

"Your Majesty!" Xi Yuanhuai, the prince's junior teacher and right admonishment doctor, stood in the line and said loudly, "Please order all the soldiers to escort you immediately, and break out to the south!"

Zhao Ju looked at Ning Shuyuan: "Uncle..."

The Grand Master is still hesitating how to answer, Xi Yuanhuai has already kowtowed his head: "Your Majesty! Only the south side has not yet fallen into the enemy's hands. The Nanshan Palace was originally guarded by heavy soldiers. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with high walls and deep pools, which can serve as a barrier. With the Nanshan garrison in one place, they will be able to successfully break through the siege. The imperial court retreats to the south of Shu, and there are many places where a man guards the pass, and the Xirong people will not dare to go deep. In the future, it may not be possible to send envoys to Baiyue and the southern border countries to seek reinforcements. Can't regain lost ground..."

Some courtiers found Mr. Xi's optimistic assumption quite attractive and couldn't help nodding in agreement.

Hearing this, Zhao Ju turned his head subconsciously, just in time for the head servant beside him to look at him.I thought: I didn't expect Xi Dayu's words to coincide with Xiao Anzi's and Fu Chuqing's... Turning to look at Ning Shuyuan, he said "uncle" silently in his heart, waiting for the Grand Master's answer.

Unexpectedly, Ning Yu suddenly spoke first: "Your Majesty, what Master Xi said is not unreasonable, but Nanshan Pass is in fierce battle, and we don't know what the situation is. The wall is high and the pond is deep, but it is a closed fortress. If it is not easy to break through for a while, and the supplies, food and grass are insufficient, I am afraid it will not last long; let alone the army guards moving south, who will stop the Xi Rong soldiers who are attacking the city? When a person enters the city gate, it is a situation where the enemy faces the enemy..."

Most of the people in the hall were old and timid. Hearing what General Ning said was well-founded, they suddenly felt that retreating to the south was too risky, and their lives might be lost at any time, and they all showed worry and fear.

Zhao Ju's ears were soft at first, and after hearing Ning Kui's words, he felt timid again when he thought that there was a fight in the south and that the fight had not yet started in the city.Looking around in a daze, just saw An Chen's resolute gaze, and shook his head slightly towards himself.

Can't help but remember the scene where Fu Chuqing appeared in the middle of the night——

Li Mianxie's brothers colluded with Xirong, and the grand master's father and son treasoned and defected to the enemy.Shocked, the emperor was half-doubtful, but was rendered speechless by the repeated statements made by the commander of Li Fangsi, and the turbulent waves surged in his heart.

Fu Chuqing knelt in front of Zhao Ju, pointing to the scars and blood all over her body, and complained bitterly: "Your Majesty! I have risked my life, gone through dangers and dangers, and escaped from the Xirong Army just to tell the truth to Your Majesty. What you said is what you saw with your own eyes and heard with your own ears. Every word is true and every sentence is true. Why doesn’t His Majesty believe it? What did you say... feed a tiger with your body? Ha, everyone called him a liar! That, that is He is a good old friend, Your Majesty! My minister guarantees with the head of the item that before entering Shu, he saw them walking together with his own eyes, and then they were probably separated for some unknown reason. May I ask your majesty, Li Fang... who is this minister? How did the minister treat him?——Others don’t know, but His Majesty doesn’t know? If it weren’t for the fact that it was absolutely true, how could the humble minister dare to come back? And how could he survive to the end with one breath?

"This peace negotiation, from the beginning to the end, is a complete fraud! Your Majesty, please think about it, why did the grand master only order Li Fang to go as an envoy? Why did Xie Quan follow the Xirong people out of the city in the end? Why did the Xirong army fail? The calculation is so just right, the envoy who negotiated peace left the first day, and the next day came to the city? Why did the 10,000+ elite soldiers in the Gyeonggi Ruijian Camp remain silent and silent? ——If it wasn’t for the guidance from the outside and the response from the inside, how could it be? possible?……"

Zhao Ju fell down on the dragon bed.After a long time, he looked at An Chen and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Anzi... Tell me, uncle, cousin, and Li Fang...really..."

An Chen was silent.Just when Zhao Ju was about to give up, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, now it seems that An Chen can only say that the Grand Master, General Jin Wu, and Master Shangshu Pushe...maybe...it's not true..."

Zhao Ju sat still for a long while, his heart was blank.Thinking of the contents of the persuasion letter, he murmured: "Uncle... wants me to surrender... just tell me, why bother..."

"Your Majesty!" Fu Chuqing kowtowed again and again, "Your Majesty, absolutely not, absolutely not! That Xirong thief is treacherous and vicious, and repeats himself as a villain. Your Majesty must not be deceived by him! Once you surrender, you can only let him be slaughtered—you can't surrender! His Majesty!"

"Surrender... can't...?..."

An Chen tightly held the tail of the stag in his hand, thought for a while, went around and knelt down in front of Zhao Ju, and paused every word: "Your Majesty, there are no two lords in the sky, and there are no two lords in the country. If others surrender, even if... as high as the empress Master, you can also be a surrender, if your majesty surrenders... what else... can you do?"

"Then... what should I do?... Tell me, what should I do?"

An Chen raised his head: "Master Fu risked his life and went back to the palace from the enemy's camp. Thinking about it... there must be a good plan to support His Majesty."

Hearing this, Fu Chuqing straightened up, with a serious expression on her face: "Your Majesty, I have been very careful when I entered the city and palace this time. Only a few confidantes know about it. I have a calculation in my heart, but I don't know if Your Majesty will listen to it or not. hear..."

A burst of impassioned voice pulled Zhao Ju back from his thoughts.

"...Your Majesty! Although I am only three feet tall, I am willing to lead the people of Xijing to defend the city to the death. If the dog soldiers want to take half a step on the Nanshan Imperial Road, they must first step over the bones of Xi. The battle situation is changing rapidly, and the opportunity is fleeting. There is no time to delay, soldiers are precious, I implore Your Majesty and the crown prince to move quickly!" Xi Yuanhuai bowed and lowered his head, touching the ground with his head, making a loud thud.

Ning Shuyuan finally stretched out his hand to press down the discussions of all parties, and said slowly: "Master Xi is commendable for his loyalty, but he is also careless. Right now, the enemy troops outside the city are just surrounding and watching, so we should be vigilant and strict. As for the south, we should first send People go to support and retreat the enemy, and then make plans after the situation stabilizes. If it is not safe, you can't move the driver lightly..."

Ning Yu looked up at his father.The grand master said this, which means that he is still hesitating in his heart.

Last night, the father and son took King Jingbei's secret letter and studied until early in the morning.General Jin Wu's heart was moved by the reasons stated by the other party, the conditions offered, the prospects described, and the tokens left behind.However, the grand master did not express his position until the court meeting.Ning Cui knew that his father had dragged the emperor's nephew from the age of seven to the present, and it was somewhat difficult to let go of the name of the Zhao Dynasty and Jinxia.I don't have so many mother-in-law emotions towards this pussy cousin.If father wants to procrastinate, let's procrastinate for now.If it can't be delayed for a few days, maybe Zhao Ju will soften first...

As soon as Ning Shuyuan's words fell, the courtiers all expressed their support: "The grand master is right, if it is not safe, you can't move your driver lightly, you can't move your driver lightly..."

Xi Yuanhuai saw that his opinion was ignored by the emperor, and the grand master's plan of delaying had come to a conclusion. He knelt down a few steps, prostrated himself in front of the throne, and said hoarsely, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the young master of the prince, the right admonisher, Xi Yuanhuai, desperately begs your majesty and the prince to hurry up!" Move!"

"Xi Aiqing..."

"Your Majesty! Xijing is trapped on all sides, and it is dead. If you break out a moment later, you will lose a little life!" Xi Yuanhuai raised his head and stared at Ning Shuyuan. , Ignoring the overall situation of the imperial court, blindly procrastinating and perfunctory, and doing nothing?"

The grand master suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "Xi Yuanhuai! You!"

Mr. Xi did not show any weakness, and continued to speak nonsense: "Xi has another sentence, and I dare to ask the grand master: the grand master insisted on the matter of peace talks, why is the virtue and wisdom of the grand master actually let the barbarians of Xirong play in the palm of his hand?" between--"

Zhao Ju knew that no matter what, Xi Yuanhuai could not be allowed to continue, so he hurriedly said, "Xi Aiqing!" The two servants helped Xi Yuanhuai up and dragged him aside.

"Xi Aiqing, the peace talks are due to the cunning and cunning of the Xirong barbarians, who have no faith... Now that the country is in crisis, it is time to work together and not to be unreasonably suspicious." Zhao Ju cheered up, "The grand master is thoughtful, and his arguments are safe. Do your best, be loyal to your country, the heavens and the earth can be shown, the sun and the moon are shining, and I and you all rely on..."

After talking about the big part of the scene, Chong Ning Shuyuan said respectfully: "Uncle, Xi Aiqing is also in a hurry, please don't care about it with him. All affairs, I will explain it according to my uncle's words..."

When he was leaving the court, the emperor looked at the grand master earnestly: "Uncle, please stop for a while, I want to say a few words to my uncle."

Before reaching the Zichen Hall, the commander of the Douwei Division rushed in from the Rihua Gate all the way: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Grand Master! Grand Master!" He rushed to the front and presented the paper he was holding in his hand: "The letter of war from the people of Xi and Xirong , Say yes—if you don’t surrender within two days, then, you will attack the city!”

The ninth day of July.

In the morning, the twins first talked with their eldest brother about the words of saints for a long time.Zishi slept from noon to dusk. When he woke up, he had to drag his younger siblings to continue preaching and making annotations. He failed, so he had to order Li Wen and Li Zhang to read the collection of exegesis aloud. error.In the middle, they yelled to drink yam and cheese soup. Unfortunately, there was a lot of thunder and rain, and they yelled for a long time, but they could only swallow a few mouthfuls.

When Changsheng came in to accompany him, Zi Zhou Zigui Qiqi got up and went out.The two climbed up the cliff behind the station and stood on a big rock in the middle of the mountain.

The followers behind him all climbed up without falling, but they didn't dare to squeeze over to listen, and found another foothold, scattered all over the place.Zigui glanced casually, and found that these guards were agile and athletic, standing in twos and threes in twos and threes, forming an imperceptible encirclement circle.

Zizhou also noticed it, looked around, and snorted coldly.Suddenly he smiled mockingly again: "Fei Lianwei, the name...is all about putting on some pretentious arty tricks..."

I know that that person now likes to pretend to be arty, and he definitely didn't learn from others—just as Zigui didn't learn from others because of his sharper eyesight than these guards.The guards, who were too lazy to watch, raised their eyes and looked forward.

The sky was overcast for a while in the afternoon, but now it became brighter.A few fiery clouds with interlaced gold and silver are embedded between the purple-blue mountain peaks. The stagnant feeling like a relief sculpture, coupled with the radiant and dazzling colors, looks like a gorgeous Huanhua Shu brocade.The continuous fields, houses and city towers in the distance are shrouded in a dreamlike luster, like exquisite embroidery on brocade.

It is really picturesque.

The beauty is overwhelming, touching, proud, and inferior.

This picturesque country is the precipitation of time and history, a masterpiece of nature and manpower, and it should not and cannot belong to any individual or certain people.

——The benevolence of heaven and earth is shared by the common people.

The twins didn't spend much time alone these two days. Apart from talking about the specific situation since they separated, they communicated with each other as necessary to share the information they had. It was the first time since they reunited that they had a serious heart-to-heart talk like this.For the two of them, this seemingly most important thing was also the simplest and most straightforward thing.After adulthood, whenever there is no big brother present, only two people stay like this, just to confirm the final decision with each other.

Seeing that the clouds are dimming and the twilight is getting thicker, but the lights rise up instead of the stars, there is a kind of heart-warming beauty.

"Zigui...you will stay with Big Brother, right?"

"Yeah." After a while, he added emphasis, "This time I will stay with Big Brother."

After Zi Zhou nodded, he suddenly said, "But..."

"It's ok."

Zigui stared forward.She has excellent eyesight, and can almost tell which corner of the eaves that is raised belongs to the Xijing City Tower twenty miles away.After looking at it for a while, he said softly, "Zi Zhou, what do you think—what is war?"

Before Zi Zhou could open his mouth, he asked himself and answered, "When you fight, you die."

"Princess Yining brought the [-] soldiers from Xijing to Xiabei Pass. Except for the hundreds who were called back by their families halfway, when I left, there were still more than [-] soldiers. If you calculate it this way, only about [-] people died. Over the past year, they must have killed more enemies than this. Everyone thinks it is honorable and worthwhile. It's just... for some reason, I often think of what we did when we cleaned up the battlefield outside Louxi City. At that time, I only knew that they were dead, and they died unjustly and pitifully. After the war, I suddenly realized that they had lived too...

"For a while, facing any living person, including myself, I couldn't help thinking: I don't know when I will die? Seeing any corpse—including the enemy's, I couldn't help thinking: I don't know what it looks like when alive? ...

"...Every attack, I tried my best and tried my best. What they saw was how brave and wise Her Royal Highness is. Only I know that I worked so hard just to come back alive..."

Zizhou couldn't bear to listen: "Zigui..."

"To live in humiliation, or to die generously? I always feel that this is not a question that needs to be considered. But... Where are their starting and ending points? Maybe, I have to think again... As for the present, how to choose, I've thought a lot about it these days. After much deliberation, the last point is nothing more than—"

Turning around, he asked, "Zi Zhou, in your heart, what kind of person is Brother Changsheng? What kind of person is Eldest Brother?" After a slight pause, he spoke his answer, "In my heart, they , at least, is a trustworthy person."

Zizhou responded very awkwardly: "Zigui, you know, it's not just...a question of whether you believe it or not..."

"I know. But, big brother..." Zigui suddenly raised his hand to wipe his eyes, "You're not afraid——you're not afraid..." He choked.

After a long silence, Zizhou said, "So, this time, you stay with elder brother." No expression could be seen in the darkness, and no more emotions could be heard in the voice.

Zi Shi lay on Changsheng's lap, gossiping one after another, pinched a strand of his hair as a pen, and stroked it in the palm of his hand.That one was only as if he was scratching the wall, sitting cross-legged like a statue of Buddha, standing still.

The two people were talking about the scenery of Meri before.Chang Sheng felt that he had already said everything he should and could say, but he still couldn't stop someone from asking all kinds of weird questions one after another.In the end, he was really unable to resist, and he was allowed to make up nonsense and talk to himself, occasionally humming.Only when I have heard the points that are too far apart can I make necessary corrections with a realistic and objective attitude.

"...By the way, have you ever seen a mirage? The mysterious castle palace, the beautiful foreign princess... Then I chased after it on horseback until I collapsed on the yellow sand from exhaustion, only to realize that it was just a phantom..."

"Not all the deserts you mentioned can be seen, and I have never heard of any castles, princess. People who often go in and out of the desert know how to distinguish between phantom scenes and real scenes. Climb higher and change places to observe. I can tell."

"Oh..." Zi Shixin said: It's really boring, do you think I don't understand this method, oh...

He took a breath, then remembered something, and said: "You just said that the snow on the top of Lingyun Mountain does not melt all year round, and the northern part of the mountain is full of glaciers, and I don't know how many years it has been frozen. I heard that even in summer, the surface of glaciers is hard. Gotta be like iron, huh?"

"Yes."

"An ancient book said, "The essence of the mysterious ice of ten thousand years can be cast into a sharp weapon.Firmness can split mountains, softness can break water"..."

Changsheng interrupted him: "That's what the ancient book lied to you." Finally grabbed the paw that was scratching the wall, "Haven't scratched enough?" He pulled out a strand of hair, pinched it, and parted the scratch he just made a mess of. Hand, sweep up the palm with neither light nor heavy.

"Hee...haha..." Zi Shi was itchy all of a sudden, his wrist was caught by him and he couldn't escape, so his left hand went up to help his right hand, but they all fell, and his ten fingers danced wildly out of thin air, like two hydrangeas in the wind.The body can't help twisting and twisting, twisting into a green vine, just wrapped around someone's waist and legs.

Changsheng let go immediately.If it goes on, it's time to catch fire.

Help him up and sit up straight: "Take it easy, don't yell that you can't sleep for a while."

Zi Shi took a few breaths and asked, "What about the snow lotus? Bingshan snow lotus, there must be this?"

"It really does exist."

Excited: "Really?! The legendary flower that captures the sun and the moon, absorbs the essence of the soul, and is pure and flawless; the living dead, the flesh and bones, the most holy medicine..."

Changsheng couldn't bear it anymore, he laughed and said, "Seizing the sun and the moon, absorbing the spirit? Do you think you are a flower demon? I have seen the snow-clothed water lily in the ice cave behind Lingyun Mountain. It is beautiful, but it is not like this." Exaggeration. As for the living dead, flesh and bones, it is even a dream..."

Suddenly, I remembered that I heard Master Wuhuo mention that this snow-clothed water lily grows in extremely cold places, and it is exactly the thing that nourishes the sun.Using it as medicine, benefiting essence and blood, and replenishing vitality is not a panacea.I told him that he was talking nonsense, and he reminded himself, remember to go to Aoyun Palace to ask for some...

At this time, I heard footsteps approaching outside the tent, and before anyone could speak, I raised my voice and said, "Come in." Turning around, he explained, "It's Zi Zhou Zigui."

The eldest brother straightened his clothes quickly and straightened up.Seeing younger siblings coming in, he said casually, "Have you gone to rest yet?"

Zi Zhou stood in the tent with a solemn expression: "Brother." Zi Gui stood to one side and did not speak.

"What..." Zi Shi felt something was wrong.Suddenly realized that he had changed his official uniform, and then saw the burden on his shoulders, the word "事" stuck in his throat, and stared blankly at his younger brother.

"Brother." Zi Zhou called again.Two steps forward, he walked up to Zi Shi, bent his legs, and knelt down slowly.

"Zi Zhou...you..." Zi Shi's heart went numb for a while, and he couldn't help shaking.Changsheng's face sank like water, and he stretched out his hand to support him.

Zi Zhou folded his palms together, put his hands on the ground, and lowered his head slowly.

——This is not the etiquette of seeing an elder brother, but a great gift for a student to pay homage to a teacher and a son to a father.

Zi Shi waited for a long time, but he didn't see him looking up. He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and looked serious: "Zi Zhou, why is this?"

The one kneeling on the ground touched his head with his hands, and said slowly: "Zi Zhou's life was saved by the eldest brother from the sea of ​​fire; he fled for thousands of miles, without his elder brother to watch him day and night, so he didn't know where he died; he was able to read and study, and he passed the exam. The number one scholar, if there is some knowledge, is also given by the elder brother; when he enters the court and becomes an official, every step he takes is inseparable from the elder brother's guidance and support... Thinking about it carefully, from an ignorant child to today's adult self-reliance, every bit of it has permeated the elder brother Hard work. Eldest brother is like a teacher like a father, this bow, the elder brother deserves more than that?..."

Straighten your back and keep your tears from falling: "Brother's kindness is as heavy as a mountain and as deep as the sea. In this life, there is no way to repay it. It's a pity that I have never saluted my brother in all these years... Big brother, Zi Zhou is unworthy." , today... I can only bow to my elder brother, I hope that my elder brother... is healthy, free from illness and pain... I... I will... go away..."

Zi Shi looked at him, tried his best to keep his voice steady, and asked, "Where are you going...to?"

Zi Zhou paused, then raised his head and said, "A man has heaven and earth in his chest, and rivers and mountains under his feet. Great summer and Kyushu, frontiers and foreign lands, where can't we go? Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. I want to... walk around , take a look, or...the more you have traveled, the more people you have met, some things can be seen more clearly, and some problems can be thought more clearly..."

Zi Shi stared at his younger brother for a long while, then uttered two words: "Alright."

"Brother, I..."

Zi Zhou finally said nothing more, bent down again, and kowtowed with tears in his eyes.After performing the three kowtows and nine prostrations meticulously, he stood up: "In short... please take care, brother!" Turning around and walking, he disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye.

Zigui looked at Zishi, and followed after him.

Subconsciously, Zi Shi stood up, stared blankly at the shaking door curtain, and sat down again.

"I'll ask them to let them go." Chang Sheng said, he had already gone outside.

When he came in, Zi Shi still sat in the same manner as before.Seeing him, he suddenly said: "This brat..." He suddenly smiled, "This kind of thing came suddenly...it scared me...I thought he was going to kill relatives, but it turned out that he just ran away from home..."

In the second half of the night, every other hour, there was a sound of horseshoes passing through the camp.Zigui knew that this was the scouts in the army reporting back and forth.It is the first time in the past few days that the front has such intensive contact with the base camp.Even Xiaoge Xiaoqu felt unusual, got up and pressed the long knife under the pillow.

Anyway, I couldn't sleep, so I stopped sleeping.Zigui thought about it, got up and took a scroll from the desk, told the song and song two words, opened the curtain and went out.Not far away, the military division's camp was indeed lit with lights—in order to let someone sleep peacefully, King Jingbei recently discussed military affairs with his subordinates in the military division's tent.

Walking outside the tent, he showed the soldier talisman in his hand.The guard didn't ask any more questions, and just let her in.

Everyone in the tent was a little surprised, they waited to see themselves clearly, except for Chang Sheng, those few hadn't had time to straighten their expressions.

Zigui walked up to Changsheng, and put the scroll in his hand on the table: "Zizhou asked me to draw it for him."

Zhuang Lingchen unfolded it for the prince from the side, and couldn't help saying "ah", which attracted other people to come over to watch.It turned out to be a precisely drawn Xijing city defense map.

Zigui pushed the soldier talisman up again: "Please take this back too." He turned around and was about to leave.

Changsheng stopped her: "Wait. Zigui, I was looking for you. Things have changed a bit. I just got the news that Zhao Ju abandoned the city and withdrew to the south and tried his best to break through. I plan to go and have a look."

He picked up the military talisman and handed it over: "You stay here with Zi Shi. I'll leave Ni Jian behind. You can keep this, if there is an emergency—" He stopped and looked sideways at Ni Jian.

Commander Ni stood upright: "Yes, Your Highness!" He bowed his hands to Zigui and saluted, "Seeing orders is like meeting people, and Ni Jian obeys Her Highness the Princess' orders."

Even though the soldier talisman was brought in front of him, Zigui didn't stretch out his hand.

Changsheng said: "Zigui, when I'm not around, this place can only be handed over to you, do you understand why?" She looked up at herself before continuing, "Because——only you, at a critical moment, will give you the gift of your son. Shi's safety is the most important thing." Pointing to several subordinates, "If any of them are replaced, even if there is my order, they may not be able to do it. And that will be the worst and most worrying situation."

The soldier talisman was thrown, but Zigui couldn't help catching it.

"Ask them to tell you the detailed situation. I will take five hundred Fei Lianwei away, and leave the rest to you." Chang Sheng explained as he walked out.

Walking into the handsome camp with the lamp in hand, he saw that Zi Shi had already sat up, clearly waiting for him.

Kneel down and put a coat on him: "Zi Shi, I'm sorry..."

"what happened?"

"I'm afraid...the best result can't be guaranteed...Zhao Ju ran to the south with all his troops, trying to escape from the Nanshan Pass." Changsheng tried his best to make his tone appear flat, but he couldn't hide the faint inexplicable excitement in his heart .

"Is that so..." Zi Shi was silent for a while, and said, "The trapped beast will fight desperately, take risks, and refuse to give up until the last moment. If you want to run away, you can't really let him run away. There is no way, if you want to bleed, you will bleed, and if you want to die, you have to die."

He snorted softly: "Whatever choice you make, you will bear what kind of consequences. It's a pity that he, Zhao Ju, has never had this kind of self-awareness in his life. He has reached this point, and he has to pay many innocent lives for nothing. Thanks to his good birth It’s good luck, but it’s all other people’s lives that you lose. In the end, as long as you are willing to surrender, you can still live happily for the rest of your life, and some people will worry about him.”

Chang Sheng suddenly said, "I'll kill him, okay?"

--kill him.kill them.

Zi Shi looked at him.Finally he spoke slowly: "You decide who to kill or not to kill. As for me... I don't need you to kill anyone—" He raised his neck, kissed him lightly on the lips, and smiled, "I only want you to be safe return."
