rebirth [rebirth]

After the two of them took a bath, Rong Jingxuan quickly fell asleep. He had been running around for several days without taking a good rest.

Xie Mingze lay beside him, looking at the curtain with his eyes open.

As November approached, the wind suddenly picked up outside, and it was already the time when the leaves fell in winter.

He has trouble sleeping.

What Rong Jingxuan said just now, he heard a lot of emotion, and promised him that he would never fight to the end like this again.

But he did not regret the choice at that time, because he did the best he could do.

He accompanied Rong Jingxuan all the way back to the country, he was not only the son of Xie Xiang, the eldest son of Duke Zhongjing, but also Rong Jingxuan's partner and the queen of Da Chu.

When he was guarding a city of people behind him, surrounded by young soldiers, he had no choice but to fight, to keep Guangqing.

Those were his people, his soldiers, and their lives were equally important. He couldn't hide in the city as a coward just to protect himself.

He remembered the day when Rong Jingxuan left, when Xuanyin asked him on the city wall why he didn't leave and Rong Jingxuan stayed, he answered like this.

"Master, you said that it would be wrong for me to stay in Guangqing. You suggest that I leave as soon as possible. Isn't it dangerous for me to lead the army? I will be open all the way when I leave Guangqing? I don't think so."

Xuanyin was a little stunned, he seemed to have an epiphany, but he still seemed to be in a daze.

"Master, Jingxuan and I are partners. We went to the ancestral hall, and Da Chu's future history books will write our two names together. In a sense, we are born with the same destiny, right? "

"You can say that." Xuanyin said thoughtfully.

"So, you said that it is not suitable for me to stay in Guangqing, and I think Jing Xuan is not suitable either. If I leave him and stay, what will Da Chu do if something happens to him? Changle, Fengning, Li'an three What should the people of the county do? We have tens of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of thousands of people, and three county government offices, which are all our responsibilities. We must lead them to restore Dachu and promise to give them a better life. Yes. Jingxuan is like the symbol of Da Chu. He was established as the prince since he was a child, and then he ascended the throne in a hurry for three days. He has lived for the people of Da Chu all his life. won't die."

"As a partner, as a subject, as his subjects, I choose to stay by myself, it's as simple as that."

"It's not because of my relationship with him, nor because I love him and put him in the most important position in my heart, but because he is the best example of the Rong family and the emperor in the hearts of the people in Dachu. Master, I I'm very glad that she and I have supported each other until now. Jing Xuan and I have experienced too much these days, I think I have the ability to survive the disaster, and I also think he can win in Yekang."

"Master, I believe in him, and I also believe in myself."

He remembered that he said so firmly to Xuanyin, but when things came to an end, when the young soldiers could not stand on the city wall to guard Guangqing and the people of Dachu, he still put on his armor and rushed out of the city with 2000 people .

At that time, he had no other choice. For the young soldiers, he was their spiritual symbol. Only when he fought on the battlefield could the soldiers stabilize and strive to defend Guangqing.

Although he doesn't have a military status, he has eaten and lived with the soldiers these days, and he has long regarded himself as a soldier in his heart.

If those young ordinary soldiers were willing to fight and die for their country, why didn't he dare?

He was born to enjoy wealth and honor, a nobleman of Da Chu, born with golden branches and jade leaves.Just like Uncle Shenhuang back then, only when he led the soldiers to fight with all his might, could Guangqing have a chance of survival.

He made the right choice.

Although he was wounded and died in the end, they won.Guangqing did not break the city, and none of the people inside suffered.He thought that with his own life, no, with the lives of more than 5000 soldiers who died on the city gate and in front of the city gate, they saved 10,000+ people in the city, and they did not lose.

Soldiers die well on the battlefield, without complaint.

If he was in Yong'an back then to give Rong Jingxuan a chance, and then he went to the dense forest of Hongdu to let Rong Jingxuan live well, then this time, he did his best as a general and as a member of the Da Chu royal family. Responsibilities and obligations.

A soldier defends his family and country, sacrifices his life for the country, at least Xie Mingze has done it once in his life, and he can firmly say that he does not regret it.

At that time, everyone was red-eyed, and he could no longer tell whose blood was on his body. The only belief in his mind was not to let their hard work go to waste, and not to disappoint the soldiers and people who followed them.

In the end, he was seriously injured and leaned against the city wall. Seeing so many soldiers crying for him, he suddenly wanted to struggle to live.

He promised Jingxuan, saying that he would guard Guangqing and wait for him to come back.

But he only finished the first one, but couldn't finish the second one.

Xie Mingze was clutching his wound at that time, and hastily told Dai Xian to succeed him in defending the city. He didn't have time to know what happened next, and he would never know.

Rong Jingxuan would not tell him, and neither would others.

Although he didn't regret the choice that day, but after hearing Rong Jingxuan's words, he was heartbroken.

Because he hurt the person he loves the most, that person also loves him with the same heart, he has fulfilled his responsibility, he is worthy of the soldiers and the people, but he is sorry for Rong Jingxuan.

On this point, he couldn't have been more wrong.

He suddenly realized that to Rong Jingxuan, he might be more important than Da Chu.

Although this idea is wrong and absurd, it still has some warmth that makes his heart surge.

There is someone who regards you as a treasure and does not want to lose even if the mountains and rivers die. That feeling is intoxicating.

Xie Mingze is also a mortal, so he fell into the trap unconditionally.

From now on, he will listen to Rong Jingxuan wholeheartedly, and will never make his own decisions again.

Although he came back from the dead, he really died once to protect the people with all his heart. He felt that he had fulfilled his promise.

Xie Mingze leaned over and gently stroked his long black hair. Rong Jingxuan's hair was very soft, but his temper was very stubborn.

"I'm sorry Jingxuan," he leaned down and pressed a kiss on his face, "I will live no matter what, and share the peace and prosperity with you, and live a long life."

"I will never leave you again."

Xie Mingze said softly.

The voice penetrated into Rong Jingxuan's ears like a wisp of smoke, and the handsome man in his sleep slightly raised the corners of his lips, as if he had a sweet dream.

Xie Mingze turned over and took his hand, let the two snuggle together, and gradually fell asleep.

Probably too tired, both of them slept until dawn and did not wake up.

When Rong Jingxuan opened his eyes, he saw Xie Mingze obediently lying in his arms, sleeping soundly.

There are still some slight scars on his face. Although he has been medicated, he is still a little red at the moment, and he looks very pitiful.

Rong Jingxuan wanted to touch his face, but was afraid of waking him up, so he lay there quietly and looked at him.

He said something serious to Xie Mingze yesterday, but it was actually a bit too much. Aze has always been very assertive and knows what to prioritize, but he just can't let go of his status as a monarch and minister, and stubbornly helps him guard the Dachu Mountains and Rivers.

But he was really angry. Although Xie Mingze loved him, he still put his status as a monarch and minister before his lover. He was always so rational and never changed his choice because of his feelings.

Although he is a student of Gu Zhenli like himself, he also has a father who is famous all over the world as a prime minister.Rong Jingxuan knew that from the day Xie Mingze accompanied him to study in the study, Prime Minister Xie taught him to be loyal to the emperor and love the people.

At that time, they were only five or six years old, and Xie Mingze could give him a big salute and call him His Highness respectfully.Even after the two of them got acquainted and almost ate and slept together, he was only willing to call him Jingxuan when he was ten years old, and it was only when there were no outsiders.

Rong Jingxuan thought, if he was in danger and the enemy asked Xie Mingze to exchange his life, he would kill himself without blinking an eye.

This is what makes Rong Jingxuan uneasy and disappointed.

But apart from being uneasy and disappointed, he was also proud of Xie Mingze.

He understands why he did that, and what he thinks in his heart. He always keeps Da Chu and the people in his heart, and he wants to protect the homes of the people.

This is not wrong, on the contrary, in this resurrection, it was Rong Jingxuan who did something wrong.

He thought that if Hua Jingshu came back and saw them like that, she would definitely call him a coward, call him unworthy, call him selfish and reckless, call him weak and incompetent.

Because he turned his back on the soldiers and people who had been with him, he selfishly took his own life without thinking about what would happen to them in the future.

If it was Xie Mingze, he would definitely become stronger at that time, and he might help Xiao Liu to the end, and then commit suicide alone.

But Rong Jingxuan couldn't do it.

He faced his death time and time again, and his heart was already overwhelmed. For him, his death became the most unbearable thing for him.

It was like stabbing his heart with a knife, one stroke at a time, until the torture was over.

But every time the wound was about to heal, he was tortured again. As the old saying goes, there are only three things, and he has experienced it three times.

Time and time again, he took Xie Mingze more seriously and was more afraid of losing him.

Because he knew that one day if he did this again, he would definitely collapse.

If the country is broken, you can come back, but if you die, you can't come back to life.

Even if they can be reborn by chance, the pain and feeling that life is worse than death tortures people crazy.

He couldn't help being crazy.

So at that time, he chose to use extreme methods to save everything. He used his own life, the future of his people and soldiers, and he made a big gamble with his emperor's dignity.

From that moment on, he was no longer a qualified emperor.

Although he is the only one who knows what he has done, in his heart, he has already made mistakes and has stains.

But even though he was tainted and condemned by his conscience day and night, he still did all this resolutely.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go on.

The moment he saw Xie Mingze lying in the coffin, his heart was already possessed.

Life after death, no destruction and no establishment.

He was holding the warm jade seal at that time, and suddenly thought of these eight words.

Ever since Changxin was attacked, he has been breaking through and then building up. He has changed from a hesitant young prince to a decisive emperor.Only he and Xie Mingze knew about all the hardships and sufferings.

Step by step, he can firmly issue orders one after another, or he can choose to kill himself without hesitation. When a person dares to kill himself, there is nothing in the world that can scare him.

But he knew in his heart that he was still afraid of many things.

He was afraid that the people would be displaced, soldiers would die on the battlefield, relatives would be separated from each other, and Aze's yin and yang would be separated.

However, these fears turned into the driving force for him to work hard.

Even if Wuhe's sudden rebellion caught Chen Shengzhi by surprise and immediately withdrew his troops, but with Rong Jingxuan, it never happened in three lifetimes.

From the moment he woke up in Chu Ming Palace, everything has changed.

He didn't know where Emperor Min went or where Taoist Tianzhi was, but now Wuhe's slogan made him fully understand.

That Tianzhi Taoist didn't look like Da Chu's people at all, he turned out to be from the Wuhe tribe.

However, whether he threatened Emperor Min to go to Wuhe, or Emperor Min voluntarily ran away with him, Rong Jingxuan didn't care.Emperor Min was already dead in Rong Jingxuan's heart.

He has long been a memorial tablet in the ancestral temple, and even has a posthumous title. It is ridiculous to be alive again now.

Based on what he knew about the emperor father, he might happily go with him.

Rong Jingxuan sneered, and suddenly felt that the weather was on his side this time.If they hadn't sent troops from their side, Changle would have no chance to develop and grow. For him, Chen Shengzhi must be more afraid of Wuhe.

Wuhe has Emperor Min in his hand, that is, Emperor Yongyan who has reigned for 37 years. The people are more familiar with him than the crown prince Rong Jingxuan.

After all, his year name is used to record the year every year, so it doesn't matter if you want to remember it or not.

This time the Wuhe army was coming in a menacing manner, Rong Jingxuan thought that Taoist Tianzhi came to the Central Plains ten years ago and entered Changxin.Then Wuhe may have been dormant for ten years, just waiting for Da Chu to be precarious now, so that he can take the opportunity to occupy the Central Plains.

End is a good strategy.

Rong Jingxuan looked at the edge of the bed indifferently, and smiled faintly.

But I won't let you do what you want.

When Rong Jingxuan was thinking over and over in his mind, Xie Mingze next to him suddenly moved.

He rolled over, yawned softly, and rolled over again.

Rong Jingxuan stared at him seriously.

Xie Mingze moved his dark eyelashes up and down, and then slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes are not dark, but have a beautiful ocher color, and the sleepy look with half-open eyes is very cute.Rong Jingxuan couldn't help leaning over, wrapping his arms around his waist.

"Good morning, honey."

Xie Mingze was a little dazed, he looked at Rong Jingxuan blankly, and it took him a long time to realize that this dear was calling him.

In an instant, the orange color of the sunset dyed his cheeks red, Rong Jingxuan turned his head and kissed his soft lips gently.

"Ze, did you sleep well?"

Xie Mingze subconsciously "hummed" and said, "I'm fine, didn't you rest much?"

Rong Jingxuan went back and forth for several days, and only had a night's rest when he came back, but after all, he is in the prime of life, and now he looks very energetic.

"I slept well, but you actually slept so deeply."

Xie Mingze smiled a little embarrassedly.

He didn't tell him that he couldn't sleep last night, nor that he thought about many things. He just asked him: "Are you hungry? Let's go out for dinner?"

Rong Jingxuan nodded and squeezed his hand: "Okay, let's go have dinner."
