Chihao County is to the west of Liping County, and there is another county to the west, which is close to Xishan. This area is a desert, not suitable for building cities and living, and it is directly adjacent to the territory of Beidi people. The Beidi people who came from across the desert could attack the city tower.

More than 1 people from the three major battalions stayed in Liping, and the rest rushed to Chihao. Perhaps Pei Yuankai did not expect the speed of the court to be so fast, so when they rushed to Chihao, they witnessed a battle of guards in the city. army retreat.

Shen Ci didn't let Xie Ruzhuo show up, and those people didn't see that the emperor was coming. They glanced at Shen Ci in white clothes and iron armor on the tower, and didn't have anything to say. Of course, Shen Ci also had nothing to say to them.

So the three major battalions under the tower quietly watched them evacuate all the elite troops in the city grandly. Seeing that they had almost left, Shen Ci raised his eyes to the general who was in charge of arranging the withdrawal, and said coldly "Go and tell Pei Yuankai that if he has the ability, he will evacuate the entire Cangzhou. If he evacuates a city, I will defend a city. Let him show me whether the Beidi people can attack it, or I can defend it."

The general had never seen Shen Ci before, and felt that his features were very familiar. He looked at his face curiously, and suddenly realized who he was, and whispered to the guards around him in surprise: "He is General Pei." The bastard?"

The guard gave him an affirmative look, and the general's expression was complicated for a moment, feeling that this scene seemed awkward and ridiculous.

Shen Ci obviously didn't want to pay attention to his surprise, sneered, and dismissed the four words written clearly on his face: "The imperial court doesn't care about his soldiers and horses, only he thinks how irreplaceable he is, Dayu's The generals are not dead yet, there are plenty of people in Cangzhou other than him, Pei Yuankai, who can defend him. If he dares to withdraw his troops today, it is best to ask him to get out of Cangzhou one day like today."

The people on the tower didn't know how to respond to the son's provocation against his father, not to mention that the relationship between the father and son was real but unknown, and they didn't know what to say. In the end, they all chose to remain silent, turned around and left. It seemed so dingy.

Xie Ruzhuo hid in the team and laughed a bit when he heard that General Shen of his family would be fine if he didn't speak. Once he opened his mouth, it would be a blockbuster. When the remaining defenders in the city opened the gate and let them enter the city, Xie Ruzhuo rode his horse to Shen Ci's side, Said: "Pei Yuankai withdraws, we defend, it's not a problem to have been tossing around like this, I really want to see Pei Yuankai, just make it clear. If he is really determined this time and doesn't want to defend, he will give up the military power in Cangzhou Leave it to the imperial court, and we will guard it, so as to save him the trouble of evacuating city by city."

"He won't want to see us now." Shen Ci could see it clearly this time, shaking his head and lost in thought, and then said, "But he can find a way to see other people, such as his son."

Xie Ruzhuo glanced at him subconsciously, Shen Ci laughed and said, "It's not me, it's Pei Yunjing."

"Oh." Speaking of this person, Xie Ruzhuo's face turned dark, with hostility exuding from head to toe, "He will meet us?"

"Yes." Shen Ci nodded, "In fact, he is quite easy to talk to in the Pei family, and he is much better than his father and brother in some aspects, and he is not so hostile to the court. You go to see him and give him some favors, he will help You go to Pei Yuankai and tell him."

Xie Ruzhuo tapped the reins with his fingers, and said: "After I gave him a military merit, I remember that I promoted him to the guard station below Cangzhou. The Yaocheng guard is nearby? You should send someone to find him."

"Okay." Shen Ci responded, "You don't have to worry, I will take care of this matter."

After entering the city, Xie Ruzhuo went directly to the post house. This place is too borderline, and the conditions of the post house are naturally much worse than other places. The post office was very trembling, but Xie Ruzhuo didn't dislike it. He slept on the bed as hard as iron. After getting up, Shen Ci came to tell him that Pei Yunjing promised to see them, but he wanted them to go by themselves, and he would not come.

Xie Ruzhuo snorted: "Everyone is bigger than me."

But there is no other way, I still have to go, and in the current situation where the Pei family and the court are at war, it is normal for Pei Yunjing to be more conservative, he put on his clothes and prepared to go to Yaocheng after cursing a few words.

Shen Ci was worried about him, and the scouts came to report that the Beidi people had no intention of attacking Chi Hao, so he arranged for the defense of the city in detail, and it would not take more than a day to go back and forth quickly, even if Chi Hao came out It wouldn't be too late for something urgent, so he went with Xie Ruzhuo.

It was already night when we started the road, and there is still little warmth in March in northern Xinjiang. The warmth of spring will not come until mid-April, and then after a short spring day, it will quickly enter the summer with the south, so there will still be a little bit of darkness when walking at night. The cold air rushed to his body, Xie Ruzhuo was still shivering while wrapped in the cloak, and after a while he was tossed by the wind and sand and coughed continuously. Shen Ci rode his horse to his side, reached out to hug him, and Xie Ruzhuo fell into his arms.

"I knew I wouldn't let you come." Shen Ci frowned and opened the water bag to feed him water, "What if you get sick after coming out?"

"I'm not a girl, I'm not so delicate." Xie Ruzhuo moistened his throat for a while, his voice was still slightly hoarse, and he found a comfortable position in Shen Ci's arms, "Besides, it's not you Can you make me sick?"

Shen Ci was angry and funny, but he couldn't talk to him, rubbed his hands on his waistline, then circled his narrow waist, and said, "Are you getting thinner again? Qingzhu, you are obedient, after returning to Lezhou you Don't eat brown rice anymore, how can you eat these every day?"

"I won't listen." Xie Ruzhuo's waist was itchy, and he slapped his hands off, "I won't listen, what can you do?"

Of course, Shen Ci couldn't do anything, he said angrily: "Sun Bingde and the others know that His Majesty eats brown rice in the palace, so no one can persuade him?"

"They're not my father, why are they persuading me to eat? Are they idle?" Xie Ruzhuo said with a smile, "They only care about what benefits the emperor can give them, and they are tired enough of staring at my movements every day, so how can they care about it? Whatever I eat, I’m fine if I’m not sick or dead.”

Shen Ci pinched his waistline hard, and Xie Ruzhuo let out a low cry in pain, which attracted the soldiers behind him to ask "What's the matter, Your Majesty?" He bit his hand and said bitterly: "You are presumptuous! How dare you pinch me!"

"Who told you to talk nonsense! You are the emperor, how can you talk about illness and death!" The bite was actually very light, and it was more like a provocative bite. The itching on the back of the hand was better than the pain, Shen Cimo Silently, thinking that he would not have really lost control of his strength and pinched Xie Ruzhuo in pain, he hurriedly massaged him gently, "I'm sorry, where does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, don't rub it, it's itchy." Xie Ruzhuo hid for a while, almost fell off the horse, and Shen Ci was so frightened that he didn't dare to touch him again, "Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense next time, but you can't Just pinch me!"

"Then can you stop biting me all the time?" Shen Ci joked, "Are you a puppy?"

"Okay, you say I'm a dog, you wait to die."

"...No, I know I was wrong."

Xie Ruzhuo caught up on sleep in front, so he won't be sleepy, he smiled for a while, and said: "I'm not in a hurry to go back this time, I can stay with you for a few more days."

Speaking of this, Shen Ci frowned again. He had asked the question before, but Xie Ruzhuo always diverted the topic, and hurriedly said, "Why did you come so soon this time? Didn't the civil servants stop you?"

"I directly wrote the imperial decree and went to transfer troops in person. Although the three major battalions have complicated personnel, there are still a few of my own people. I asked my companion to find Song Qinglai and inserted a few people into it. Although Yue Tingchuan and Wu Xianying will have There are a lot of concerns, but I can’t say that I will stop them.” Xie Ruzhuo didn’t change the topic this time, and explained, “As for the civil servants, when they came to stop me, I had already put on my armor and decided to go to the imperial court. I told them, It doesn’t matter if you think Cangzhou is irrelevant, but I can’t sit back and watch Cangzhou fall into the enemy’s hands. The people of Cangzhou died at the hands of foreigners. You don’t care, Pei Yuankai doesn’t care, I will take care of it. If you are willing to bear the infamy of Cangzhou fall for me, I can also If you don’t go, tell the world that you are blindly obstructing me, so that you can’t come to help, Liping’s blood is flowing like a river, and I have nothing to do with it.”

Shen Ci can imagine the scene of Xie Ruzhuo wearing a black armor and looking down at the ministers, but the young man's thin body supports the entire precarious country with his own strength. However, in the end, it was just an understatement in his own mouth, just like the cool night wind, it was scattered into the wilderness lightly.

"Civil officials are very face-saving, and they are more afraid of being recorded as a blood debt by future generations than I am. How dare you stop me." Xie Ruzhuo was still talking about this matter with a smile, "To deal with them, you can either give in to each other. Don't fish it, don't tear your face, or use the hardest move to block their mouths, but you have to be careful with the degree, you can't..."

"Stop talking..." Shen Ci raised his hand to cover Xie Ruzhuo's mouth loosely, his voice was low and trembling unsteadily, "This is not something to be happy about, Qingzhu, you can feel bad anytime Take care of yourself, don't always wait for me to feel bad."

Xie Ruzhuo's mouth was covered, his eyes were wide open, he didn't expect Shen Ci to say that, his lips fluttered and touched Shen Ci's palm, Shen Ci retracted his hand uncomfortably, he opened his mouth, and didn't say anything for a long time In other words, he wanted to say that he didn't feel hard work or tired at all. Every day is like this. He is used to it, so you don't need to feel bad. In fact, these things are quite simple...

But he couldn't say it, and because of this, he suddenly felt boundless grievances and sourness in his heart, as if these things had been buried in an unknown corner deep in his heart, no one visited, and suddenly one day they were opened. With the closed window, all those deeply buried emotions ran out of the window, filling the whole heart in an instant.

Many, many years have passed, and Xie Ruzhuo has become accustomed to sitting on the dragon chair and doing what an emperor should do, shouldering his responsibilities, as if he was born there, indestructible, and will not fall. A person will feel sorry for himself because of a small thing, his heart is as warm as being close to a bonfire in the cold night, but he is thinking, but there is only one person, only one person.

He turned around and wanted to hug Shen Ci, but found that he couldn't turn around on the horse's back, but Shen Ci already understood, let go of the rein, let the horse walk slowly, put his hands under his armpit and hugged him directly, he Then he turned around, plunged into Shen Ci's arms, and wrapped his arms around his waist and shed tears silently.

Shen Ci stroked his hair and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't feel sorry for yourself, I will always love you."
