"Ran'er...Ran'er..."

Lian Xin, who had been guarding Zi Sangyu's bed all the time, was awakened from his dream by a call. Looking at the person on the bed, his complexion seemed to be much better than usual today, and his mouth moved slightly as he spoke.

"Yu'er!" Lian Xin was both surprised and delighted, and put his ears closer in disbelief, to confirm that it was her voice. "Yu'er, wake up, wake up."

Calculating the time, Zi Sangyu has been in a coma for nearly half a month.

In that injury, the poison on the sword edge has been cleaned up as much as possible, but due to the injury to the veins, some toxins spread to other places, and even eroded the internal organs, but the specifics are unknown.For half a month, Zhengtian has been using medicine to treat Zi Sangyu. Although the progress is not immediate, it is still effective. After half a month, her complexion has returned to the original state, and she is just waiting for her to wake up.

"Yu'er, are you okay?" Lian Xin stared straight at her for a long time, watching her eyes roll around a few times before slowly opening them.It's just that his expression is not very clear, it seems that he has slept for too long and is a little confused. "Your Highness, do you still remember me?"

Zi Sang Yu nodded, and the corner of his mouth tugged slightly.

"Brother Yi, I'm hungry."

Dingjiang City.

Zi Sang Yu was just recovering from a serious illness. She hadn't eaten for half a month, so she felt hungry when she woke up.After eating, he learned from Lian Xin that the Yan army had conquered Dingjiang City at this time, he was overjoyed and insisted on going out of the mansion.Gongsun Zheng and other veterans couldn't persuade them to come, so they could only call people to follow closely.

"I've been in a coma for half a month?" Zi Sang Yu's face was filled with disbelief.

"Yes, Your Highness." Lian Xin supported her, "That Yan Tianming was too ruthless. Father heard that you were injured on the battlefield that day, so he was so angry that he punished the hidden guards for a long time. As for the poison at the mouth of the sword , Zhengtian hasn't broken it yet, saying that the poison was used too far. Speaking of which, Your Highness, do you feel uncomfortable after waking up? If there is anything wrong, you can tell Zhengtian earlier. Otherwise, the illness will be delayed."

"Uncomfortable..." Zi Sangyu thought for a while, then shook his head. "It's okay, I just feel that I've slept for too long, and my energy is too full, I can't bear it." Subconsciously, Zi Sang Yu caressed the wound on his arm. The wound was too deep. Although it had scabbed, it was still pulling Sometimes the wound will still open.

Lian Xin nodded reassuringly, "It's fine."

The few people walked on the streets of Dingjiang City for a while, and Zi Sangyu noticed that many soldiers were walking on the street pushing carts, and there were many heavy city bricks on the carts.

"Brother Yi, why are there so many soldiers pushing bricks and walking on the street?"

Zi Sangyu looked back at him suspiciously, but found that his expression was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"You just woke up, and I didn't want you to worry about political affairs and military affairs." Lian Xin sighed softly, "It's just this matter, I'm afraid I can't keep it from you for long. Half a month ago, Dingjiang City was under the leadership of Xu Xiao and Chai Ziquan. The soldiers successfully attacked the city, and this battle was a victory; but before that, the Ning army planted explosives when guarding Dingjiang City, which blew up the gate of Dingjiang City into a flat ground, and because of the soldiers attacking the city, there were countless casualties in this accident. Our army , the situation is dire."

Zi Sang Yu was startled.

----------------------------------

"Keep up, keep up, put the city bricks over there, you should move more nimbly."

Lian Xin stood beside Zi Sang Yu, silent.

Is this still Dingjiang City?

Zi Sangyu looked at the scene in front of him, unable to regain his senses for a long time.I saw the high city wall that I saw at that time, now only ten feet of ruins remained; the ground was full of rubble, and the lanterns and flags that were originally hanging on the top of the city were covered under a cloud of dust.And every tile and every brick was sporadically covered with blood, and after some time, it was so red that it began to turn black.

Many soldiers were busy on the ruins, busy rebuilding the gate of Dingjiang City; occasionally a brick was lifted, and a long-dead body would be found underneath.Then, one after another, the dead bodies were transported onto the carts that originally contained the city bricks, and headed towards the outskirts of the city.

Several soldiers passed by Zi Sangyu pushing the city bricks, glanced out of the corner of their eyes, and immediately stopped their movements and knelt down.

"This subordinate has met His Royal Highness."

When other people who were busy heard the words, they all turned their heads and bowed to Zi Sang Yu.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

Zi Sang Yu waved his hand, but did not speak.

How tragic was the scene that day?At this moment, it is not difficult to imagine.Zi Sangyu seemed to be able to see that day, it was a fierce battle of a group of soldiers on the top of the city. Between the flashes of light and flint, the trigger was ignited from nowhere, and then the explosives on the top of the city were detonated, and there was a loud noise. ruined everything.

The burning of jade and stone should have shaken the valley.

There is an unspeakable pain.

"How many people did we die in this battle?"

Lian Xin turned around, and saw Zi Sang Yu's expression was indifferent, as if he hadn't spoken. "Rough statistics, counting the soldiers who were besieging the city at that time, more than 1 soldiers died, and nearly [-] soldiers were injured."

Thirty thousand casualties.

Zi Sangyu couldn't help closing his eyes, and took a deep breath.Counting every casualty since the war, it's nothing more than that.Originally thought that in the battle of Dingjiang City, if Yan Tianming was dealt with, it would be easier to fight; but he didn't expect that this person was so scheming, even if he couldn't defend the city, he would bring other people to be buried with them! 3 people...

"Your Highness..."

Seeing her expression, Lian Xin was very worried.

"Let me take it easy..." Zi Sangyu sighed.Suddenly, he raised his eyes and found a familiar figure among the ruins.The man held a long branch with a white ribbon tied at one end, dancing in the wind all the time.Zi Sang Yu seems to be able to feel her sadness, just because of this picture.

Xu Xiao, he should be the saddest person in this battle.

Indeed.

Xu Xiao has been standing in this place for half a month.Since Dingjiang City was broken that day and the Yan army entered the city, she has guarded this place day and night and never left.There was food and water, but they were all in a hurry, and they returned to the ruins to let themselves go.

She blamed herself, and she still feels very uncomfortable.

People often come to persuade her, but she doesn't listen.She kept saying that if she hadn't been impulsive that day, if she hadn't noticed the clues of Ning Jun, maybe there would not have been such casualties.Those were the brother soldiers she accompanied day and night, and it was she who personally gave the order to let them move forward, and it was she who watched them fly with flesh and blood, turning into ghosts.

I am afraid it will be difficult to open this knot in my heart.

"Wen Qing."

Xu Xiao came back to his senses a little.

Few people call her Zuo Wenqing, and Zi Sang Yu is the one who is most used to calling her Zuo Wenqing.Because you can't change your mouth.Xu Xiao came out of the original sad state of mind, turned around and saw Zi Sang Yu standing behind him, a little surprised: "Your Highness, are you awake?"

"Well, I just woke up today, come out for a walk."

Zi Sang Yu kept looking at her, only to see that her hand was still tightly holding the branch tied with the white ribbon.

After hearing this sentence, Xu Xiao became distracted again, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness should know what happened in Dingjiang City, right? The scene in front of me is so bleak, Your Highness shouldn't have come here..." murmured , plus Xu Xiao sitting cross-legged on the ruined wall, coupled with his lack of energy and absent-minded appearance, like a ghost tainted with cold air.

Fortunately, it's the sun, so I'm sure I'll be terrified at night.

"Wen Qing." Zi Sang Yu sighed softly, and squatted down beside her. "No one wants something like this to happen in Dingjiang City, so don't be too sad. The dead are gone, let's mourn and let things go."

"Your Highness is not the first person to persuade his subordinates." Xu Xiao raised his head slightly, and kept looking at the fluttering white ribbon in a daze in the wind, "The matter of Dingjiang City, Your Highness, this subordinate is really Responsible. Before the battle, underestimating the enemy and wantonly attacking the city will lead to such casualties. They may not have...don't have to die..." Xu Xiao said, tears began to fill his eyes again: "Your Highness, it's all my fault ..."

Xu Xiao was so emotional that he couldn't help it for a while, and leaned against Zi Sangyu's arms.The guards were about to speak out when they were stopped by Zi Sang Yu.

"Your Highness, how should I explain to you, so many people have died, how should I face you..." Xu Xiao cried, and the words in his mouth were a little vague.Zi Sangyu had no choice but to caress her back: "Don't always think about being sorry for me or the world. Wenqing, I really can't blame you. If you continue like this, they won't rest in peace."

Lian Xin stepped forward, handed over a wine jar, and placed it beside Zi Sangyu.

"The people who died on the battlefield this time, I will properly arrange them. According to the military roster, people will be sent to pay pensions to the families of the deceased, and other soldiers will treat their families as their own. Wen Qing, you can't do this anymore Let the decadence continue, it was because of your command before that our casualties were reduced; now that something like this has happened, you should cheer up and lead the soldiers to end the war and live a peaceful life."

Zi Sang Yu took the wine jar behind her and handed it to her: "Come on, let's toast them a glass of wine, and let them go on their way with peace of mind."

Xu Xiao sat up from her arms and looked at her.

Zi Sang Yu took the long branch in her hand and stuck it in the ruined wall in front of him; then, he opened the lid of the wine jar, raised it above his head, and stretched out to the sky: "Brothers, hello road is good!" Walk!"

Her voice is still so shocking.

The wind is still blowing across the face, blowing over the white ribbon inserted in the branches among the ruins.Then, Zi Sang Yu tilted the wine jar and poured three lines of wine on the ground. The wine splashed everywhere, wet the dust on the city bricks, and also melted away some of the frozen blood.The wine slowly seeped into the ground along with the rubble, Xu Xiao stared blankly, feeling better.

"A glass of wine to comfort the souls of the dead." Zi Sangyu took a sip of the wine, talking to himself in the air.

Xu Xiao looked wherever her eyes went, as if he could really see those dead brothers.It should be an invisible and invisible picture, but it is so real, it seems that the laughter of the past can still be heard in my ears.All I heard was that they were all laughing loudly, and walked away happily without looking back.

Does this mean that they have no regrets?

"Let's drink, let's go, don't miss it." Zi Sang Yu turned around and looked at Xu Xiao who was still on the ground in a daze. "Wen Qing, let me ask you a question. Do you know what happens to a dead person?"

"Become what?" Xu Xiao looked at her seriously.

"Live."

Zi Sangyu's eyes were equally serious.
