"...Your Highness? Hey, it's not in the tent."

Tang Leyuan cast his eyes away, as if he was a little unclear about the situation, he turned and left while muttering: "Aren't you still there just now? Forget it and come back later."

Qi Zizhen looked at his gradually walking away figure, coughed lightly after a while, and let go of his hand first.

Song Yaoxu didn't dare to continue hugging him, and stood face to face with him but turned his face away, the tips of his ears were a little red.

Both of them tacitly went to a corner of the camp to do some things of their own to calm down.

Song Yaoxu went to pick up the medicinal materials that he had thrown on the ground before, and Qi Zizhen went back to another wooden table to drink the tea he hadn't finished.

After another quarter of an hour, Tang Leyuan, who had just left with a haha, quietly poked his head in again, and asked tentatively, "Well... can I come in?"

Both of them have calmed down, Song Yaoxu smiled as usual: "Come in."

Tang Leyuan poked his head and glanced inside, but he still didn't dare to go in. He stood at the door and said, "The soldiers who explored the road reported that there is a mountain ahead, so I came to ask His Highness if you want to detour or take the mountain road?"

Seeing that he refused to come in, Song Yaoxu didn't force it. After pondering for a moment, he said: "The mountain road is narrow and rugged. It is too dangerous to walk on the mountain road in our current situation. Although it will take a long time to take a detour, it is always safer. Then Let's take a detour."

Tang Leyuan had no objection to this, and nodded in response to the plan to arrange the itinerary.

But before he left, he held back and held back, he couldn't hold it anymore, and said, "Well, traveling outside is no different than the East Palace, you guys... remember to be a little bit more careful."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran, slipping fast.

The two people who had already calmed down a little, heard the words, and their ears turned red again.

Qi Zizhen raised his eyes and glanced in Song Yaoxu's direction, and happened to meet his gaze.

The two looked at each other, looking at each other with a bit of embarrassment, and after a long time, they looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Less than half of today's time has passed, although the matter in the tent area was finally resolved, Song Yaoxu was not in such a hurry to let the army leave the camp and move on.

The news that he ordered the beheading of the three elders quickly spread throughout the entire army camp. The soldiers who were more or less lazy because of his kindness gradually restrained their temper, and no one dared to discuss him in private anymore. What.

The scorching temperature slowly stagnated in the barracks, but the state of the soldiers has improved to the best in the past few days.

It can be regarded as not wasting the progress of the march in the past few days.

That night, after Song Yaoxu had a simple dinner in the barracks, he planned to go to the previous barracks to have a look.

Qi Zizhen happened to be free, so he went with him.

Along the way, the two also met many soldiers from other camps, all of whom were extremely respectful and well behaved.

Qi Zizhen took a rough look at their expressions, pursed his lips and said nothing, and followed Song Yaoxu quietly all the time.

The camp area was not far away, and after a while, the two of them saw the soldiers on duty standing in front of the camp area.This time, the soldiers didn't dare to use any reason to stop them, and let them go after politely saluting.

Compared with the laughter and laughter when Qi Zizhen came here last time, the tent area is filled with groans and wailing, which sounds more like a group of "sick patients".

When Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu walked in, they saw many soldiers lying in disorder, and a petite soldier walked among them to take care of them.

Seeing the person coming from the gate of the tent area, the soldier hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness, Mr. Military Advisor."

The soldiers who were still screaming with sad faces turned pale when they heard his voice, and quickly silenced their voices, not daring to make any more movements, as if they were afraid that the life they had recovered would be lost again.

Song Yaoxu smiled and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm not here to punish you again."

However, the soldiers who had seen him smiling like a tiger in the morning still dared not speak out, fearing that what he said was just humanistic care for them before they died.

Song Yaoxu didn't explain any more, and called the little soldier who took care of them to ask about their current injuries.

The little soldier couldn't figure out his current mood, so he reported the situation in detail.

Song Yaoxu just nodded slightly after listening, and asked the little soldier to move two stools, looking like he was about to have a long talk.

Seeing this, the wounded looked at each other and hesitated to get up.

Song Yaoxu understood their intentions, smiled softly and said, "You don't need to get up, I'm not here to torture you."

The half-raised soldiers didn't know how to act, so they chose to be obedient after looking at each other.

Among them was a bolder soldier who mustered up his courage and asked, "Young, I dare to ask, what is your Highness's purpose here?"

Just at this time, the little soldier moved out the stool, Song Yaoxu pulled Qi Zizhen to sit down together, and said gently: "There is nothing important, I just want to chat with you and ask a few questions."

The bold soldier only thought that he was coming for an interrogation, and quickly replied: "Your Highness, Your Highness, please feel free to ask, the little ones will know everything!"

Song Yaoxu was waiting for his words, with a smile on his lips, he asked unhurriedly: "Then why do you want to be deserters this time?"

As soon as his question came out, the soldiers who were a little relaxed underneath suddenly tightened their strings again, and they didn't dare to vent their breath.

Song Yaoxu continued: "Do you think that if you follow me, you will have to die on the battlefield?"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers responded in a panic, "No, don't dare! How dare you have such thoughts!"

Song Yaoxu looked at the soldier who spoke, with a faint smile still in his eyes: "If it's because you don't dare, then it means that you really have such an idea in your subconscious?"

The soldier who responded immediately chose to shut up, not daring to respond again.

Seeing the soldiers' reactions like this, he sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "In fact, I am very clear about your evaluation of me, because your military adviser has already done that in front of my face a long time ago." criticized me."

Qi Zizhen, who ate melons and watched a show and ate himself, blinked, looked at the soldiers who were looking at him in surprise, and nodded calmly: "Your Highness is not unreasonable, as long as he doesn't distort the facts and deliberately fabricate frame-ups, he will not You are to blame for that."

After receiving his words, the soldiers hesitated, and finally someone began to say: "Actually... there is indeed this part of the reason."

One person spoke, and other soldiers continued to add one after another.

"I, I mainly because I don't want to die. My mother said that a sword has no eyes on the battlefield. Maybe I will never go back after leaving home this time. So I don't want to go to war..."

"I'm because there are old and young in my family. If I just go away like this, what will my family do?"

"I think I'm still young, I think, I want to live a few more years, and get a daughter-in-law to marry and have children."

"..."

The soldiers talked about their reasons for wanting to be a deserter, most of them were because of their family members, and the rest basically said that they wanted to live a few more years and do more things.

Song Yaoxu listened to them all very patiently, and asked them the next question with a smile: "Then let me ask you again, where did your family members and yourselves get their stable lives?"

The soldiers who became a little more active were stunned again.

Song Yaoxu didn't wait for their answer, and continued to ask: "If everyone thinks like this, you don't want to go to war, he doesn't want to go to war, and I don't want to go to war. Then when the border is in turmoil and neighboring countries invade, the last thing is Who will suffer first?

"Could it be that we, princes, generals, noble families, are the first to suffer?"

The soldiers were speechless, the answer to the question was so obvious.

Song Yaoxu looked at their silence and softened his tone: "I know you don't want to die, why don't I? But if all the soldiers don't go to war because they don't want to die, then the innocent people will die first with your family.

"Are you really willing to see this result?"

The soldiers shook their heads one after another, their faces turning red.

The bold soldier at the beginning said even more ashamedly: "Your Highness has taught you the lesson. We are too narrow-minded. I'm sorry."

Song Yaoxu smiled and shook his head: "It's okay. If you know what you're doing wrong, you can correct it, and you'll still be a good soldier."

After speaking, he called the little soldier from before and asked his name.

The little soldier cupped his fists and replied politely, "His Royal Highness, the youngest one is named Qin Gong."

Song Yaoxu nodded, took out a few bottles of wound medicine and a small bag and handed them to him, and asked softly: "Qin Gong, right? These are all good wound medicines, but I don't bring much, you take them to the soldiers Let's make do with it."

The wound medicine brought by the crown prince must not be of ordinary quality. Some soldiers hurriedly said after hearing the words: "Your Highness, don't worry so much. We are rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so we don't need such good medicine."

"No matter how rough the skin is, it's the flesh on your body." Song Yaoxu chuckled, "There are some sweet dates in the small bag, let's share them with the soldiers. We have to hurry on the road in the next few days." , if you are injured, go to the nearby city to recuperate and recuperate, and then rush over after a while."

Qin Gong, who had received the wound medicine and sweet dates, was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Your Highness is not afraid... Did we take the opportunity to run away?"

Song Yaoxu smiled and asked back: "Do you know?"

The soft smile is reflected between the cold white of the moonlight and the warm yellow of the lantern, hazy and beautiful, like the most sincere trust.

Qin Gong was stunned for a moment, and immediately folded his fists and knelt down: "The little ones must live up to His Highness's trust."

Song Yaoxu patted him on the shoulder, and said in an elder-like tone: "I believe that you will become a man of indomitable spirit in the future."

After speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and asked Qi Zizhen to go back to their camp together.

Qi Zizhen, who watched the whole process from the sidelines, looked at Song Yaoxu's always gentle and smiling face, and couldn't help but secretly gasp.

It's really clever to give a sweet date with reason and emotion after hitting sixty sticks.

The author has something to say: a little bit about my previous thoughts about the weekend:

After the May [-]st holiday, I forced myself to do daily work, but after my condition got worse and worse, the stupid author decided to give up the weekend daily work after thinking about it.Because this book will involve a lot of new content that the stupid author has never touched before, instead of forcing myself to write some low-quality content every day, I think it is better to write slowly and carefully, and strive to make the story more vivid. Well show it to you~ (Well, the stupid author decided to miss the day of the weekend, making a cooing sound.jpg)

However, we can promise to update at least [-] a day now, and from time to time, we will drop double updates or big fat chapters~ Thank you every supportive little cute mua!
