Multiple crimes

Yuan Ziyou walked forward in a daze, being surrounded by left and right, not knowing where he was, and there was no one around him who could talk to him.He could clearly feel the hostility from everyone along the way, and what was even more disturbing was that he hadn't been able to meet Er Zhurong so far.

Although Yan Shuo concluded that Nanliang would not send reinforcements, he was worried about Er Zhurong and wanted to know the situation in Zhonglang City no matter what.For the time being, he pretended to go on the road with peace of mind, and on the way, he called a follower to hold him dead in the car, and changed into the clothes of an ordinary soldier to take the opportunity to escape.

It took a lot of effort to get from Shangdang to the station of Wei Jun.The fierce battle under the city was at its last moment. Er Zhuzhao rushed back to the camp after receiving the notification, and was surprised to see the disgraced Yuan Ziyou falling from the sky.After a short moment of astonishment, he didn't ask anything, but ordered his left and right not to report to Er Zhurong about the emperor's coming to Zhonglang City, but he didn't want to know that someone had already rushed to the front to report.

Er Zhuzhao was furious, and ordered people to escort Yuan Ziyou away without saying a word, while he led people to chase him to the front line.

Yuan Ziyou couldn't understand why Er Zhuzhao didn't let Er Zhurong be informed, but he didn't dare to ask.He was used to seeing men with gentle smiles on their faces, but at this moment he was a little at a loss in front of his angry face.

According to Yuan Ziyou's words, he followed the others to escape to another place, and soon the news of breaking the city came.Yuan Ziyou was overjoyed, thinking that he would be able to meet everyone, but after a long time, there was no news of Er Zhurong, not even Er Zhuzhao.From the conversations among the soldiers, he learned that Er Zhurong led Yuan Tianmu and a small number of troops to confront the Nanliang army under the city. He expected that Chen Qingzhi would send people to attack the rear, so he ordered Er Zhuzhao to set up an ambush on the way, and actually garrisoned them. There were very few soldiers and horses in the camp.When Yuan Ziyou arrived, the main force of Nanliang had just retreated after being defeated. Er Zhurong was chasing after him and was about to kill them all. Suddenly, he was disturbed by the urgent report from the rear.Chen Qingzhi seized the opportunity to fight back, forced the Wei army back and fled with a few soldiers.

"Isn't this a win... Yuan Hao is dead, the army is also gone, so what if a Chen Qingzhi escaped?" Yuan Ziyou didn't think so, looking left and right, only waiting for Er Zhurong to pick him up and return to the palace.

After waiting for a long time, someone finally came to the front, but the leader was a short orderly.Disappointed, Yuan Ziyou followed him on the horse, and returned to Luoyang City in a daze.After entering the city, the team leader did not send Yuan Ziyou into the palace immediately. I don't know if it was because there were no instructions or there were not enough people.Yuan Ziyou had no intention of going back to the palace, so he just followed the team to the military camp in the west of the city.

People came and went in the camp, the main army and Er Zhuzhao's troops had already returned to the city before Yuan Ziyou.Most of Xiurong's soldiers had never seen the real face of the emperor, and it was even less likely that they would recognize the changed Yuan Ziyou.Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Yuan Ziyou searched wildly like a headless chicken, and suddenly saw a familiar face in anxiety.

"Yuan Tianmu!"

Seeing the wind blowing on his feet and walking fast, Yuan Ziyou quickly shouted and stepped forward to grab his arm.

"Where's Er Zhurong? Ask him to come see me!"

Yuan Tianmu stopped and looked at Yuan Ziyou, and said coldly: "The soldiers have just finished fighting and need to recuperate and rest urgently. If the emperor has nothing to do, please go back to the palace."

"Tell me where Zhu Rong is?" Yuan Ziyou heard the dissatisfaction in his tone, but still asked patiently.

"The general is injured."

"injured?"

"Correct."

"Why, how did you get hurt? Is it serious?"

"How did you get hurt? Isn't it because of you?" Yuan Tianmu couldn't help but angrily said to Yuan Ziyou, "If you hadn't talked about yourself and followed you to Zhonglang City, how could Big Brother be in a mess!" Said He ignored him completely and walked away.

Yuan Ziyou was stunned for a moment, then followed up, and saw Er Zhuzhao in front of a tent.

After Yuan Tianmu explained a few words to Er Zhuzhao, he lifted the curtain to enter the account. The latter looked up at Yuan Ziyou, frowning slightly.

Yuan Ziyou saw that Er Zhuzhao had something to say, but he couldn't take care of it in a hurry, so he walked past him in two or three steps and rushed in.

The man he hadn't seen for a few days finally reappeared in front of his eyes. To be precise, he was lying surrounded by two or three soldiers and medical officers, with a bleak face and closed eyes.Due to being blocked from sight, Yuan Ziyou couldn't see his injury clearly, only the bright red gauze that was constantly being replaced and the blood in the basin beside the couch.

Er Zhuzhao stepped into the tent after him, shouted "Your Majesty" urgently, but stopped immediately.

Yuan Tianmu opened his eyes angrily, and was about to step forward to push Yuan Ziyou out, when Er Zhurong suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the movement.

"emperor?"

Yuan Ziyou turned his head in a jerk, and met the man's slow and slightly dazed gaze.

"It's me..." He walked to the bed and reached out to touch Er Zhurong, but he didn't know where to put it.The man looked extremely tired and weak, as if he would break if he touched it, but it was precisely because of this that there was a softness in his expression that was not usually seen.

"He never looked at me that way, he always looked down on me..." Yuan Ziyou thought, "Look how docile and lovable he is now!"

Er Zhurong gradually regained his sanity, saw that Yuan Ziyou was looking at him, and frowned: "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you, and I wanted to talk to you."

"What's there to see? Go back quickly, go back to the palace!" Er Zhurong didn't want him to see himself in such a mess, and felt irritated, raised his arm and waved at Yuan Ziyou, but the wound was involved I trembled in pain.

"Brother! Brother, don't talk." Er Zhuzhao stepped forward and knelt down on his side, grabbed Er Zhurong's right hand and stroked it twice, then turned his head to signal Yuan Ziyou to go out.Yuan Tianmu on the side walked up to Yuan Ziyou and turned his head as a gesture of invitation.Yuan Ziyou looked around, hesitant to speak, and found that no one welcomed him to stay here, so he had to follow Yuan Tianmu out of the tent as he said.

"Do you want me to take you back to the palace?"

"No need, I'll just wait here."

"It's up to you, just don't disturb elder brother's treatment." After Yuan Tianmu finished speaking, he gave Yuan Ziyou a fierce look, turned and left.

Yuan Ziyou had nowhere to go, and he didn't want to leave, so he could only stand there and pass the time thinking wildly.

"He said that I caused Er Zhurong to be injured, but I obviously didn't do anything. I didn't know they were setting up an ambush. I didn't intend to add trouble... Yes, even if I don't go to Zhonglang City, he will It is possible to be injured, it is normal to be injured in a war."

There was a suppressed groan from inside the tent, Yuan Ziyou's heart trembled, he gently opened the door curtain and looked in, only to see the medical officer was treating Er Zhurong's wound.Several soldiers pressed down on his shoulders and legs, Er Zhu Rong raised his chin, his Adam's apple rolled on his white neck, his veins bulged, and his entire face was distorted by the pain.Suddenly, he grabbed Er Zhuzhao's arm with a low cry, and the strength made Er Zhuzhao frowned.

"Brother, relax..." Er Zhuzhao knelt down on the spot with his grasp, raised his other hand and stroked Er Zhurong's temples twice, "be patient, it will be fine soon."

After panting for a while, Er Zhurong turned his head sideways, as if he wanted to see the medical officer's movements.Er Zhuzhao reached out to cover his eyes again, rubbed the tip of his nose and lips lightly on his sweaty forehead, and said in a low voice, "Don't look, it will be fine soon."

Yuan Ziyou put down the door curtain, turned around and stopped looking at it, a wave of evil fire coming out of nowhere made him restless.He doesn't know what's wrong with him, every drop of blood, every groan, even every look of pain on Er Zhurong's body is like a good aphrodisiac, but right now is not the time to be distracted.

After finally suppressing the restlessness in my heart, Er Zhurong's injury has also been treated.Er Zhuzhao sent the medical officers out of the tent, and was not surprised to see that Yuan Ziyou hadn't left yet.

"Is he seriously injured? How long will it take to recover?" Yuan Ziyou asked.

"Life is all right, but the bone is injured, it will take some time to recuperate." Er Zhuzhao said, "Let's see the situation tonight. If there is no serious problem, I will send the general back to the mansion to recuperate tomorrow. Your Majesty, don't worry."

"Yuan Tianmu said that I dragged Er Zhurong and hurt him, is that true?"

"Your Majesty, you don't have to take it seriously. There is always victory or defeat in a war, and a little injury is nothing." Er Zhuzhao took two steps past Yuan Ziyou, and said with his back to him, "It's just that the general has never suffered a loss in leading troops for many years. To be seriously injured this time, the soldiers will inevitably panic."

"He was never hurt?"

"No, this is the first time." Er Zhuzhao turned around and stared directly at Yuan Ziyou with heavy eyes, as if looking at something else through Yuan Ziyou, "I think the general will not hurt."

Yuan Ziyou was terrified by this strange stare, and vaguely felt an indescribable sense of oppression.Fortunately, after Er Zhuzhao's words, he immediately returned to his usual indifferent and gentle demeanor, called the horse and led it to Yuan Ziyou, and said: "The emperor has been away from the palace for a long time, and there must be many political affairs to deal with. The military affairs will not bother the emperor. I'm bothered."

Yuan Ziyou took the reins without hesitation: "I'll leave Naer Zhurong to you. I'll go to the General's Mansion to see him when he gets better."

Even if Er Zhuzhao didn't drive him away, he didn't want to stay here anymore.
