rebirth [rebirth]

Rong Jingxuan didn't care about anything along the way, so he rushed back to Guangqing with all his heart.

It was not yet noon when they arrived in Guangqing, and they heard the sound of killing at the city gate from a distance.

Rong Jingxuan couldn't feel his fatigue at all this time, he asked the flag soldiers to raise the military flag, and said loudly: "Boys, fight with me!"

Those Guangqing veterans all looked bright, and they didn't seem to be tired at all.

This team of them invaded directly behind the enemy, and before the soldiers left behind by the enemy could respond, they rushed forward and killed them like a battlefield with the most ferocious posture.

In an instant, the battle situation changed suddenly.

Rong Jingxuan was guarded by the cavalry. He raised his head and saw Xie Mingze standing on the high city wall, looking down at him.

The two looked at each other in silence, neither of them spoke.

This glance seemed to cut through life and death, and also turned time and space into nothingness.

Xie Mingze smiled at him suddenly, under the sun, he was covered in blood, his armor was mottled, and his face was pale, but when Rong Jingxuan looked at him, he felt that he was indescribably beautiful.

Just because he is still alive.

Xie Mingze lying in the coffin was clean, quiet and peaceful, but he didn't like it at all.

He wants him to smile at him, eat with him every day, and sleep with him on the same bed.He wanted him to discuss the war with him, to talk about old memories, or to do nothing but sit together and read books.

He was content to hear his heartbeat.

Xie Mingze, it's great that you're still alive.

Rong Jingxuan said this to Xie Mingze silently, Xie Mingze smiled and looked down at him.

Suddenly, he turned over the city wall and jumped down.

There happened to be an unowned war horse there, Xie Mingze turned over directly, and rode the horse towards Rong Jingxuan.

Countless enemies rushed towards him, like moths to a flame, or swallows returning to their nests.

Xie Mingze rode his horse and galloped. He didn't change his face, and he didn't show any fear.The halberd in his hand was like a sharp blade for harvesting life, and the enemies fell off his horse one by one around him, unable to get up again.

He soon came to Rong Jingxuan's side, the blood on his face was not dry yet, but he smiled brightly.

"Jingxuan, I knew you would come back." Xie Mingze told him firmly.

Rong Jingxuan stretched out his hand suddenly, his fingertips were still trembling slightly, he moved closer to his face, and then backed away.

Xie Mingze looked at him with a smile, suddenly took his hand and pressed it to his face.

"Come and try, am I alright?" They held hands tightly, exuding warmth from each other.

Rong Jingxuan stared at him, wishing he could kiss him on the battlefield in front of countless soldiers.

"I really want to hit you."

he threatened.

However, this was the battlefield after all, and the two separated after only a few words. Xie Mingze led a group of troops and rushed straight to the enemy's firearms battalion, while Rong Jingxuan led a large army to strangle the enemy under the city.

Just after noon, the city wall that had been noisy for two days finally quieted down.With all the enemy troops killed in battle, the remaining hundreds of people directly chose to surrender.

Xie Mingze returned to Rong Jingxuan with his men and horses. The gate of the city had been opened, and all the soldiers rushed out, cheering outside the city.

Victory came so hard, yesterday they thought they would sacrifice their lives for the country, but within a day and night, the hope of life came quietly.

Rong Jingxuan raised the Da Chu army flag high, and raised his voice: "We have won, and Guangqing has defended it!"

The soldiers shouted: "We won, we won."

Someone raised his head, and the people around him gradually followed, so the voice grew completely.

Rong Jingxuan sat quietly on the horse, and suddenly heard the soldiers shouting in unison: "Return to me, Da Chu, the country is peaceful and the people are safe."

Rong Jingxuan almost burst into tears.

He let out a long breath, and raised the military flag together with Xie Mingze: "Return to me, Da Chu, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!"

Under the sun, the two of them are like military gods, giving people infinite hope and strength.

The battle was finally over, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze ordered all the soldiers to go back to the Guangqing camp to rest, and let the rest of the troops come back to clean up the battlefield.

The two of them returned to Guangqing City together and went to the Sheriff's Mansion.

Originally, the governor of Changle County had been executed, but now Xie Mingze took over the administration of the entire county temporarily. When the large force of the brave army came to Guangqing, Lang Ningyou, who came with the army, could replace Xie Mingze and become the new governor of Changle County.

Fengning County was temporarily replaced by Zhou Cen, governor of Li'an County.

So at this time, the county guard's mansion is empty, except for the two masters and their families living here, there are only a few people.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, the porter at the gate saw the two of them and immediately wanted to drink: "Master, the generals are back, prepare water quickly."

The two of them were dirty, with dirt all over their heads and faces, and blood was flowing on their armors. They must be cleaned before they can speak properly.

Soon a woman in her thirties came out of the house, and said with a smile: "Thank you, General, the water is ready, and it's in the main house. Have you two had your lunch?"

Xie Mingze shook his head, looked at Rong Jingxuan, Rong Jingxuan also shook his head.

Xie Mingze said: "Excuse me, auntie, just make us some easy-to-digest porridge."

"Okay, it must be delicious." The woman replied with a smile, and went to work.

Both Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze were tired for several days, and they were not in a hurry to talk for a while, so they hurried back to the main room, threw the armor on the ground and went into the compartment.

There are still two single-person bathtubs in the cubicle, and the water in the bathtubs is still very hot at this time, so naturally they are not asked to go down to soak now.

Xie Mingze asked Rong Jingxuan to sit by the table: "I'll wash your hair first, it looks too dirty."

Rong Jingxuan didn't sleep well all the way, let alone take a bath, and didn't even eat a few bites of food. Xie Mingze was right when he said he was dirty.

It was approaching November, and the ground dragon had already been burned in the house, and the two of them didn't feel cold even if they were only wearing their underwear.

Rong Jingxuan glanced at him, then bent down silently.

Xie Mingze mixed warm water, scooped it up with a ladle and poured it on his head: "Don't open your eyes, is the water hot?"

His voice was a little hoarse, but extremely gentle, Rong Jingxuan only felt a softness in his heart, and he couldn't say a word of those reprimanding words.

On the way back, he thought of a thousand words to scold him, but as soon as he saw his face, he forgot everything.

What is he trying to say?

If you continue to be disobedient like this, will I spank your ass in front of everyone?

Or if you dare to die alone again, no matter where I am, I will go with you, so that you will not feel at ease when you die?

None of these.

He just wants to say now: Aze, I beg you, don't leave me alive alone.

He experienced it once, twice, three times, and he never wanted to have a next time.

His heart then shattered into countless pieces. Even if the ancestors showed their spirits and they returned to the past, the scars in their hearts still did not heal.

He remembered his scarred body hanging on the city wall, he remembered that he was shot in the back and died in his arms, and he remembered that he was lying quietly in the coffin in plain white mourning clothes.

It was too painful, he couldn't describe the feeling, like not seeing the sun in winter, or losing the light forever in the dark.At that moment, his world was cold and dark.

There is no trace of color or warmth anymore.

Rong Jingxuan closed his eyes, feeling the strength of Xie Mingze's fingertips.

He moistened his hair with hot water, then applied some soap and rubbed it gently.

For a while, there was only the sound of Xie Mingze's earnest rubbing in the compartment, and nothing else could be heard.

Xie Mingze rubbed him for a long time before asking him: "I'm going to rush, so don't open your eyes."

Rong Jingxuan let out a low "hmm" and lowered his head.

Then, only the sound of drizzling water could be heard.

At this moment, Xie Mingze suddenly whispered: "Jingxuan, when are you...?"

He spoke hesitantly, and he was a little guilty. In short, if Rong Jingxuan hadn't been paying attention to his movements, he might not have heard these words at all.

Rong Jingxuan snorted coldly, but did not answer.

Xie Mingze paused for his Shunfa hand, this time the voice was louder, but still limited: "I... didn't do it on purpose, if possible, who would want to go... then what, you say?"

Rong Jingxuan didn't even snort this time, Xie Mingze saw that he was really angry, so he didn't explain any more.

Rong Jingxuan's hair was washed clean quickly.

Xie Mingze helped him hug his head with a clean towel, and then wrapped it with a wooden hairpin.

"Okay, get up."

Rong Jingxuan stood up and glanced at him lightly: "Sit down, I'll wash it for you."

"Hey!" Xie Mingze quickly responded, and sat down on the small chair obediently.

Rong Jingxuan helped him untie his hair belt, and nodded the back of his head: "Low your head, don't open your eyes, and you can't talk."

Xie Mingze bent over vigorously, expressing that he knew.

Rong Jingxuan felt angry and funny when he saw that he was so anxious and guilty, and he still came to explain to himself.

This man always knows how to keep him from losing his temper.

He has already seen him through, and if he doesn't teach him a lesson, he may not learn well for the rest of his life.

The warm water poured down from the top of Xie Mingze's head, and he couldn't help sighing comfortably.

Rong Jingxuan's voice sounded a little cold: "Do you know what's wrong?"

Xie Mingze was asked by him not to open his eyes and speak, so he stretched out his left hand and clenched it into a fist, and pressed his wrist down to pretend to be nodding.

"Then what's wrong with you?" Rong Jingxuan muttered, before he could answer, "I don't think you realize what's wrong at all."

"Aze, you just asked me if I should know about your death? I actually found out when I returned to Guangqing and saw your body."

"I rushed back to Guangqing from Shanshuiguan. I didn't care about eating and drinking all the way. I was afraid that something would happen to you. But when I came back, I found that the enemy had already withdrawn. Guangqing cleared the city wall and mottled it, but didn't let the enemy come in. You know I have How happy are you?"

"But as soon as I entered the city, I saw my uncle waiting for me there. I felt cold hands and feet at that time."

"Really Aze, I don't lie to you, you probably don't know, I watched you die three times, I can't do anything, I can't save you, that feeling is too bad."

"Even if I can recover Da Chu and revive the country, that kind of joy can't explain the pain and sadness of you leaving me."

"So I beg you, please don't be so desperate in the future, I know you are all for me, but I don't want that."

"Do you know how sad I was when I saw you lying in the coffin, covered in cold and white clothes? In fact, it was more painful than sad, but I couldn't express those feelings. I just felt that I wanted to die with you."

Rong Jingxuan's voice was very calm, he said this sentence slowly, intermittently, fast and slow.

Xie Mingze gradually began to tremble, he finally couldn't restrain himself, sobbing: "I was wrong about Jingxuan, I was wrong."

Rong Jingxuan looked at him sadly, but his hands were very gentle to help him wash his hair: "If there is a next time, the moment I see you, I will pierce my heart with a knife. If you don't want to live, I will die with you."

He finally washed the foam off Xie Mingze's head with warm water: "Xie Mingze, I will do what I say."

Xie Mingze raised his head abruptly, his face was wet with tears or hot water, and his eyes were red.

He hugged Rong Jingxuan's waist tightly, and buried his face in his chest: "I won't, never again."

Xie Mingze gently helped him smooth his hair, wringed out the water section by section with a towel, and then combed his hair as he did.

He bent down and printed a warm kiss on his lips: "Be good, from now on, just listen to me."

Xie Mingze's tears rolled down his face, he choked up and said: "Okay, I will listen to you, and I will listen to you in everything."

Rong Jingxuan smiled at him, suddenly lifted his chin, and gave him an unusually fierce kiss.

After everything was over, Rong Jingxuan said: "Ah Ze, I really do what I say, so you have to be obedient."

Xie Mingze nodded sharply, unable to say a word.

After the two communicated, they washed their bodies before entering the barrel.

After so many days of fatigue, taking a hot bath at this moment is simply enjoyable.

Xie Mingze covered his eyes with a veil. He cried so hard just now that his eyes hurt a little.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Jing Xuan, how did you come back to life?"

Rong Jingxuan turned his head to look at him, and casually squeezed the Jade Seal of Chuanguo on his chest.

Almost all of this jade seal was stained with vermilion, as if soaked in blood for hundreds of days and nights, the color was deeply embedded in the stone and could not be removed no matter what.

Except for the black lines on the bottom, anyone who saw it would think it was a bloodstone seal.

"I won't tell you. Because you leave me first every time, so I won't tell you what happens next."

Xie Mingze removed the veil from his eyes, and turned to look at Rong Jingxuan.

He felt helpless and distressed, so he softened his voice and said, "Jing Xuan, I was really wrong..."

Rong Jingxuan chuckled, looking very relaxed on his face: "Enen, I get it, I get it."

"Oh, by the way," he hung the jade seal back around his neck, and suddenly said, "Wu He sent troops to march on Ha Wei Tower with the slogan of restoring the orthodoxy of Da Chu and restoring the throne of Emperor Min."

Xie Mingze asked in surprise, "What?"

Rong Jingxuan smiled at him and told him to calm down: "Although Wuhe has never sent troops before, this time he has changed. But no matter what, we don't have to be afraid of him."

"The nomads in a tiny place are trying to meddle in my great country in the Central Plains. It depends on whether he has such a big appetite."

Xie Mingze hesitated, "Emperor Min...what should I do?"

Rong Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "He said it was Emperor Min or Emperor Min? Don't forget, Chen Shengzhi rang the death knell at that time. I didn't die, and all the old ministers of Chu can testify, so the identity of Emperor Min It has become intriguing.”

"Aze, my father has already been buried with the old Chu, there is no such thing as Emperor Min."

Rong Jingxuan looked forward indifferently: "If I say he is not real, he is not real, so we don't need to be afraid."
