My country is dead again [Rebirth]

In his previous life, Shen Ci was not peaceful before his death. The poisonous arrow pierced his lung, and he was throbbing with every breath. He watched the flesh and flesh around his wound fester, and it continued to spread every day.

Living this kind of life for a moment is a torment. The lieutenant general and the military doctor wanted to hang him with medicine. He couldn't figure out whether these people's brains were flooded.

While he was still able to move, he pierced his heart with a knife, and finally got a happy relief.

Anyway, his bones will be incinerated, and Xie Ruzhuo will not know that he committed suicide in the end.

After death, he didn't know where he went. Maybe his soul wandered aimlessly for decades, and then suddenly fell back into his body one day.

Falling back into the body of the 17-year-old.

Shen Ci was reborn three days ago, when he heard that the capital was in danger, he rushed to pick up Xie Ruzhuo without a moment's delay.

This is something that he would do uncontrollably without thinking about it. He didn't think about whether the development of things in this life would still be the same as in the previous life. The ending was dismal, and he died at the age of 30.

He thought about what would happen if he didn't do it.

If there is no Xie Ruzhuo in Shen Ci's life, it would be better to live again than to die.

The 17-year-old Shen Ci was already half a head taller than the 17-year-old Xie Ruzhuo. The initial shock and confusion dissipated, and he looked down at the teary-eyed boy without blinking.

Xie Ruzhuo had just come out of the cold palace at this time, his body was so weak that he didn't know if he had fallen sick, his fair little face was not rosy, no matter how pitifully he lowered his eyelashes, tears fell to the corners of his mouth, he said with a deep heart It was so painful that it pulled up hundreds of folds.

Xie Ruzhuo suffered five years in the cold palace, and now he has to be angry in front of the queen mother and the chief assistant when he comes out. Life is not happy every day, the more he thinks about it, the more Shen Ci feels that the lungs that were pierced in his previous life are still not healed.

He opened his mouth, at a loss for what to do, and whispered in a panic, "Your Majesty, you...don't cry, don't be afraid..."

In the previous life, Xie Ruzhuo loved to watch Shen Ci, who had always been taciturn, coaxing people. Every time he was so at a loss, and he couldn't say too beautiful words, but the tenderness in his eyes was very serious, like fluffy feathers scratching at him. heart.

Xie Ruzhuo suppressed his secret joy, sniffed, and nodded obediently.

Seeing him wiping his tears with his sleeves up, Shen Ci couldn't help cursing himself for living a rough life, without wearing a handkerchief or a sweat towel, so he had to pass his sleeves quickly with his eyesight.

Xie Ruzhuo pinched Shen Ci's wrist with peace of mind, and rubbed his face with tears on his sleeve.

Under the armor is a light white ramie singlet, which is old and wrinkled after washing. The faint scent of saponins is still in the air, mixed with a little sweat, and the smell of Shenci is overwhelming.

In the past, they would hug each other and kiss skin to skin. At that time, their bodies were full of each other's smell. He was buried in Shen Ci's chest, sleeping soundly and peacefully.

Xie Ruzhuo thought wistfully, this person Shen Ci is really too cruel sometimes.

Twenty years after your farewell, the wind is clear in the long night, and you have never fallen into a dream.

Xie Ruzhuo and Shen Ci had different thoughts, they each had their own thoughts, and the others didn't think deeply when they looked at the scene of harmony between the monarch and his ministers, they just thought that the young emperor who had just come out of the cold palace had no guts, fled overnight, his future was uncertain, he was really frightened up.

Only Sun Bingde looked at Shen Ci with a pair of straight crane eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you Pei Yunjing's subordinate?"

Shen Ci heard Liu Yaner call him Yuan Weng, but looked at him without respect, and replied: "Yes."

"Pei Yunjing asked you to come?" Sun Bingde asked again.

After only a few questions, Shen Ci became impatient. Before his death in his previous life, he was still the general who commanded thousands of troops. He was the only one who gave orders, and no one dared to ask him such a question.

"Regardless of whether the fifth young master sent you to come here, Yuan Weng just needs to know that the humble leader brought His Majesty into Nangu." Shen Ci lowered his eyes halfway, covering his eyes that were actually looking at Xie Ruzhuo all the time.

"Presumptuous!" A cabinet minister behind Sun Bingde said angrily, "Little Zongqi, how dare you talk to the chief assistant like this!"

Shen Ci sneered in his heart: If you knew my previous life and dared to scold the chief assistant in public, you wouldn't say that.

"Fifth Young Master?" Sun Bingde didn't seem to take Shen Ci's attitude to heart, and said with a faint smile, "Are you Pei Yunjing's personal soldier?"

The imperial court pointed out that the four generals in the northern border guarded the territory, and they were conniving to them. They were allowed to form their own forces in the northern border, whether they were domineering, corrupt or bribery, the imperial court turned a blind eye to them all. As long as we can hold the border, everything will be fine.

The guards in various places in Dayu have been corrupt for many years, and their combat strength is almost zero. The general soldiers often pay for their own family members as private soldiers, and they also pick cronies from the guards to follow and guard their families.

If a private soldier has military exploits, he can be appointed an official by the court, which is a decent job.But the personal soldiers are different. They generally don't go to the battlefield, so they have nothing to do with meritorious deeds. To put it bluntly, they are no different from the servants who guard the house.

Shen Ci caught Sun Bingde's fleeting contempt. After the two men's eyes met briefly, Shen Ci let out a cold snort, nodded indifferently and said, "So what? , whatever you want. The humble post is only here to pick up His Majesty, it doesn't matter if His Majesty wants to go or not."

Now the anger in the eyes of the cabinet ministers almost sprayed directly on Shen Ci's face. They are in this position, who dares to be so rude?

Xie Ruzhuo was already furious, but he didn't expect General Shen to be even hotter than in his previous life, and also less restrained than in his previous life. He actually dared to challenge the chief assistant at this moment, and he didn't let himself be wronged. He suddenly felt refreshed physically and mentally.

Sensing Shen Ci's eyes looking over with inquiry and anticipation, Xie Ruzhuo leaned closer to Shen Ci without saying a word, glanced at the chief assistant and the queen mother pretending to be afraid, and whispered: "I'm going with General Shen .”

Liu Yan'er had been standing quietly on the side, keeping out of the matter, now she took a step forward and said flatly, "As Your Majesty said, let's go."

Seeing the Empress Dowager speaking, the crowd dispersed in small groups and prepared to go on the road again. Sun Bingde also acquiesced in this decision, but said to Xie Ruzhuo before leaving: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is not familiar with the official positions in the court. The general flag cannot be called a general." , when others hear it, it's not good for Mr. Shen."

Xie Ruzhuo scolded secretly, "There are too many things", but his face was still obedient: "Oh, I see, thank you Yuan Weng for reminding me."

Watching Xie Ruzhuo get into the carriage, Shen Ci looked at the tears on his sleeves and thought: Xie Ruzhuo in this life is a bit obedient.

This young man who suddenly appeared was just a general banner of the Nangu Qianhu Institute, and he was also a low-ranking soldier next to the fifth young master of the Pei family. Everyone didn't have much confidence in the way forward, but now it's okay to let Pei Yuankai or Pei Yunjing come to pick them up. It's a fool's dream, and in the end, I can only follow the team with the idea of ​​"just like this".

When it was still a hundred miles away from Nangu, the team stopped to rest, and everyone started cooking and had a full meal.

The carriage was surrounded by Jinyiwei and the soldiers of the three major battalions. Xie Ruzhuo sat inside and did not go out. The small window of the carriage was opened a crack. He glanced casually and saw a man in a blue short jacket coming with a food box. The half-worn ponytail skirt fluffed up in the breeze, like an umbrella cover.

Jin Yiwei and the Three Great Battalions didn't have many decent people, they were used to being ruffians, whistling while riding on horseback, and looking frivolously at the faces of people who came.

A soldier laughed and said, "Which yamen is the internal officer from? Brothers, you have seen all 24 yamens, and you haven't seen an internal officer who looks so good."

The sky was completely bright, He Xiaoman stood in the shadow cast by the man and the horse, his long eyelashes covered his eyes like crow feathers, he moved two steps away, and whispered back: "You know the prisoner."

24 In the yamen, everyone knows that the supervisor is a subordinate to the yamen, and all they do is to serve the master. When the man heard this, he became more courageous, so he came up and asked, "Which master does the internal officer serve?"

He Xiaoman changed his portable food box, raised his head, and said, "Your Majesty and Queen Mother."

The voice was cold, like crushed ice smashed into a jade cup, and the face was more clearly visible——

The eyebrows are beautiful and feminine, the willow-leaf eyebrows are delicate, the fox eyes are beautiful, but the nose is high and straight, the lips are thin, and the jawline is firm and cold, not too flattering.

This is a natural good embryo, male and female, and just right, no more and no less.

Those few people stared straight at it, looking dumbfounded.

Jin Yiwei walked between the palaces all the year round, walking sideways wherever he went, and he didn't take a word seriously after hearing He Xiaoman's words. Xiuchun swung his saber horizontally, blocking He Xiaoman's way, put the scabbard against his chin, and laughed with his companions: : "You said, is it because of the ecstasy of the innate growth, God's blessing, or is it the credit of the knife?"

The companion's eyes lingered on He Xiaoman's narrow waist, and he also said with a smile: "Which of the young men in Pingdu is not a god's feast, and they don't look like this. In my opinion, God's blessing is good, and that knife is also a credit." without."

He Xiaoman held the food box tightly with five fingers, but his face was very calm, he lowered his head and said respectfully: "My lords, the servants are going to deliver food to His Majesty, please make way."

The soldiers of the three major battalions gave way, and the Jinyi guards were still smiling at him: "What's the name of the internal officer? Is there any food?"

He Xiaoman didn't answer, another person continued: "Looking at the appearance of the internal officer, you haven't tasted that kind of taste yet, have you? Come to see brother at night, how about taking you to try something new?"

Obscenities filled his ears, He Xiaoman's eyes were dark, and he was as quiet as a living person.

When those people began to discuss who would go up first at night, Xie Ruzhuo opened the small window and called out: "Banban, why don't you come up? I'm hungry."

When the guards in Jinyi heard Xie Ruzhuo call He Xiaoman "companion", their expressions finally changed, they silently moved out of the way, He Xiaoman responded to Xie Ruzhuo, and left quickly.

He turned his back to those people, a dangerous smile flashed across his eyes.

There were a total of six people who spoke just now, and he had already memorized their faces.

The carriage is divided into two compartments, the inside and the outside. The outside room is narrow and is the place where the serving ministers obey orders at any time. After passing through the carved partition, there is a spacious inside room. The floor is covered with peacock wool carpets, and there is a long table in front of the couch. He Xiaoman Putting down the food box, he wanted to kowtow to Xie Ruzhuo, but Xie Ruzhuo had already pulled him up, and said softly: "Companion doesn't have to be like this, just be the same as before."

He Xiaoman was dragged by Xie Ruzhuo to sit beside him, set up the food, and said: "My servant heard that His Majesty can't eat, and wanted to come to the carriage to make my stomach feel uncomfortable, so I helped His Majesty get some light and easy-to-digest dishes. I still have to eat these few days. On the road without rest day and night, His Majesty still wants to eat."

"Aren't you resting? Why did you come here?" Xie Ruzhuo hadn't seen He Xiaoman since he was reborn, but he kept the matter in mind, and pulled his lapel, "How's the injury? Let me see."

Xie Ruzhuo took a look, only a few faint blue marks remained on his shoulders, he was relieved.

He Xiaoman buttoned his collar and said: "Your Majesty is fine now, Your Majesty has not let others serve you in these years, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be used to it."

Xie Ruzhuo leaned over to put his shoulders with a smile, and said in a casual tone: "When we go to Lezhou and have a new imperial court, you will be the supervisor of ceremonies Bingbi, the admiral of Dongchang, and walk sideways in Xindu from now on. What happened just now , invite them to Dongchang as guests."

Apparently Xie Ruzhuo had seen it all just now, He Xiaoman lowered his eyes and didn't respond, as if he had no interest in this great authority.

But Xie Ruzhuo had known him for decades, and Xie Ruzhuo could see clearly what was hidden in his eyes.

He wants it, and has been waiting for it for years.

He Xiaoman stood up and wanted to thank him, Xie Ruzhuo pushed him back again: "You deserve this, why are you thanking me?" Xie Ruzhuo hugged him and patted his back, "You are suffering with me, I am right hold you."

Even though 30 years have passed, those five years in the Leng Gong are still the days that Xie Ruzhuo least wants to recall.

Surrounded by walls, trapped in prison, the farthest place that can be seen is the same desolate palace on the other side of the wall.

He Xiaoman came two months later. He used to be a performer in the Bell and Drum Division. He saved money and wanted to serve in the inner court, but the money was not enough for the palm print eunuch to stuff his teeth. There was an incident that He Xiaoman refused to say In short, He Xiaoman was sent to the cold palace in the end.

The people in the cold palace are not human, they are like dogs. The guards guarding the gate, the eunuch in charge, and the concubine who has a feud come and beat them whenever they say they want, and no one will care if they are beaten to death.

Liu Yan'er was originally a person with a weird temper, and she might have gone half-crazy when she came to Leng Gong. Xie Ruzhuo didn't dare to sleep at night, for fear that Liu Yan'er would suddenly drag him out of bed and push his head into the water tank.

Even after he realized how tolerant He Xiaoman was, the past five years were a gamble for He Xiaoman, and he was only waiting for the day when he won the bet. In his previous life, he had always remembered the kindness He Xiaoman had shown him.

When a concubine who was at odds with Liu Yan'er came to him and wanted to beat him, He Xiaoman held him in his arms, and he didn't let go after being beaten until he vomited blood.

The only charcoal fire in the winter was taken away by Liu Yan'er, and it was He Xiaoman who held his feet in his arms and kept them warm all night.

He Xiaoman himself was always hungry and full, but he never let him go hungry. He was dying of illness, and it was also the imperial doctor that He Xiaoman, who was covered in injuries, went to find for him.

He Xiaoman was beaten a few days ago and couldn't even get out of bed, so he has been resting for the past few days.

Regardless of whether He Xiaoman is for himself or is sincere, he always regards He Xiaoman as a relative.

Xie Ruzhuo looked at his calm face and said, "Now we are all over the top, so we don't have to bear it in the future."

He Xiaoman bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty also knows that the Bell and Drum Department is not a place for people to stay. Following His Majesty is a blessing for slaves, and will share His Majesty's worries in the future."

"No, you just have to be happy with this Governor." Xie Ruzhuo said with a smile, "As a human, you have to make yourself comfortable first in life. If you are not comfortable, you will not be comfortable in doing anything."

He Xiaoman frowned slightly, as if he didn't know Xie Ruzhuo now.

"You know how to measure better than I do. I'm not worried about what you'll do." Xie Ruzhuo recalled the past and talked on the phone. He was a little hungry and picked up chopsticks to eat. "By the way, you go to the front of the line to find Shen Ci. He brought his people to guard my carriage and replaced the people outside. Shen Ci's people will definitely not talk nonsense, and the previous thing will not happen."

He Xiaoman complied, thinking to himself, this general flag may have a bright future.

When the team moved again, Shen Ci had already led dozens of people outside the carriage. Xie Ruzhuo knocked on the small wooden window. He thought it would be Shen Ci's subordinates who would reply, but he didn't expect it to be Shen Ci himself. Voice: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Xie Ruzhuo said through the window: "Nothing happened, I have something to tell you."

The horse's hooves scored, and after a while, Shen Ci lifted the curtain, walked through the partition and entered the room.

Xie Ruzhuo didn't let him salute, but stopped him and said, "General Shen, you don't need to be too polite, sit next to me."

"Your Majesty, this is not in line with etiquette." Shen Ci stood in the swaying carriage and shook his head.

"Then do you want me to keep talking to you with my head up?" Xie Ruzhuo blinked and said with a smile.

Shen Ci knelt down on one knee: "It's fine for the minister to kneel."

Xie Ruzhuo couldn't figure it out, he moved forward with his mouth flattened and grabbed Shen Ci's hand, his eyes were red, and his voice was soft: "General Shen, I only believe in you alone, if you, if you are also on guard against me, the whole world, I don't know who else to trust..."

"No! I never guard against Your Majesty! I will never do that!" Shen Ci subconsciously spoke quickly, but he was puzzled when he recovered. At this time, Xie Ruzhuo shouldn't be so affectionate to him, and it is absolutely impossible to say to him That's the right thing to say.

Xie Ruzhuo saw that this plan was indeed effective, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "I can only rely on General Shen when I go to Lezhou. Without General Shen by my side, I am still very afraid."

Shen Ci's heart was filled with turmoil, but when he saw Xie Ruzhuo's eyes lowered in grievance, he said immediately: "I will definitely escort His Majesty to Lezhou safely, and will always stay by His Majesty's side."

Xie Ruzhuo grinned and said, "General Shen is still as good as he was six years ago."

Shen Ci suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked at Xie Ruzhuo in a daze: "Six, six years ago?"

"Six years ago, my father was on an autumn hunt in Lezhou. We met him and spent the night together in the woods." Xie Ruzhuo was puzzled by Shen Ci's sudden shock, "General Shen, don't you remember?"

"No, it's not..." Shen Ci murmured before he recovered, "I thought His Majesty didn't remember..."

In the previous life, Xie Ruzhuo was wary of everyone when he came out of the cold palace. At first, Shen Ci was a little sad that Xie Ruzhuo didn't remember him.

Why in this life, Xie Ruzhuo was not only very close to him from the beginning, but also took the initiative to mention the incident six years ago?

Could it be that many things are really different from the previous life after reliving the first life?

Xie Ruzhuo thought that Shen Ci would be a surprise, but now it looks more like a shock. He thought wistfully: Shen Ci must have always thought that he was the only one who regarded the first meeting between the two as a treasure, and he had already forgotten about it.From the very beginning, Shen Ci was prepared to guard him silently and did not want him to look back.

But in his previous life, he was really so ruthless at first, Shen Ci remembered him for six years, but he forgot Shen Ci for six years.

But in this life, not anymore.

"How could I not remember?" Xie Ruzhuo held Shen Ci's hand, "The general treated me well then, I knew it all."

In Xie Ruzhuo's smile, the two felt that they had never experienced the vicissitudes of life and death.

It seems that the old friend is still the same, and the heart is the same.

There was a soreness in Shen Ci's eyes, and he thought: Let him think that this life is really different, Xie Ruzhuo has changed, and things may change in the future.

Xie Ruzhuo was finally able to pull Shen Ci to sit on the couch, and asked, "Did General Shen escape by himself? Did Pei Yunjing agree?"

Shen Ci smiled easily at this moment: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be nothing wrong with Fifth Young Master."

Hearing Shen Ci calling Pei Yunjing the Fifth Young Master, Xie Ruzhuo became angry for no reason, and almost shouted out a sentence stuck in his throat: What Fifth Young Master, you clearly know that he is your own brother!

And he also knew that Shen Ci was just talking nonsense, Shen Ci came here on his own initiative, they didn't go well when they entered Nangu in the previous life, and Shen Ci almost lost his life because of it later.

Xie Ruzhuo hesitated to speak, Shen Ci said in a low voice: "Yuan Weng told His Majesty that you cannot be called a general."

"You are the general in my heart." Xie Ruzhuo smiled peachy-eyed, "There are outsiders here, I call you Shen Ci, only we are here, I call you General Shen."

In Shen Ci's heart, he actually hoped that Xie Ruzhuo would call him that. He had listened to him for nearly ten years in his previous life, when he whispered, when he hugged, and when he was in love.

He likes the smile on the corner of Xie Ruzhuo's mouth and the gleam in his eyes when Xie Ruzhuo called him.

So he selfishly acquiesced that Xie Ruzhuo continued to call him in such an unruly manner.

Xie Ruzhuo asked Pei Yunjing what to say, but Shen Ci repeatedly assured that he would be fine, and Sun Bingde came to him again to discuss matters, so he had to press down nervously.

Two days later in the evening, the fleeing team gathered at the foot of Nangu City.

The expected thing didn't happen, Xie Ruzhuo's carriage was already guarded at the front, he was surprised to find that no one in Nangu City came out to stop them, and Pei Yunjing was nowhere to be seen.

A boy-like Xiaoqi ran out of the city, and Shen Ci asked him, "How is Fifth Young Master?"

Xiao Qi smiled heartlessly and said, "It's all right, I'm tied to the tent and can't move."

Xie Ruzhuo finally had an answer to why the scene where he almost fought with Pei Yunjing in the previous life did not happen, and why Shen Ci in this life was so sure that they would enter Nangu safely.

The lunatic Shen Ci directly tied Pei Yunjing!
