Chapter 79 [VIP]
Quiet.
Even the sound of breathing can be heard clearly.
None of the courtiers dared to speak, and they all raised half of their eyelids tremblingly, for fear that their eyes would be too direct and the emperor on the dragon chair would notice.
The atmosphere in the entire Golden Palace froze.
"Wangfeng City was quietly captured, the entire army was wiped out, Manjin and the Xiongnu jointly attacked, Ningguan fell, King Rong disappeared, and his whereabouts are still unknown..." Qi Lan became more and more angry, and grabbed a handful of urgent reports to He fell down and landed in front of all the courtiers with a slap.
Qi Lan's footsteps were not loud, but they seemed to be stepping on everyone's hearts: "Tell me, who else can go out now?"
The two sons of the Feng family are already on the front line, General Feng Wei is old, Feng Keyuan is too late to catch up in the south of the Yangtze River, and few military generals in the court have actually fought against the Barbarian Jin Xiongnu. vegetable.
——There is really no choice.
Clenched hands in the sleeves clenched into fists, Qi Lan said in a deep voice: "The barbarian gold Huns fought desperately, King Rong is the only one who has led so many soldiers and horses, and he was the one who broke through Dragon City before, if it were you , is there anyone present who can do it?"
No one dared to respond, and everyone knew in their hearts that if Rong Jue hadn't broken the Dragon City before, the fugitive Uda Chanyu would not have joined forces with Manjin to make a comeback.
The more significance of the Royal Conquest is to inspire people and make the soldiers and generals more courageous and meritorious. However, Man Jin and the Huns are really vicious, especially Qi Lan has no heirs. If something happens, Da Qi will soon fall into chaos.
"I will make Prince Gong Qi Bo the emperor's younger brother. If I am not in the court, he should be the agent of the court affairs." When Rong Jue disappeared, Qi Lan couldn't sit still for a long time, especially when Feng Xiuran reported that he could not find anyone. I'm afraid I'm lost to the peak snow.
In the cold winter of Juxialing, there will be snow on the peaks, and no one will search for the lower places, and there will be barbarians wandering around from time to time, fearing that Rong Jue will be found by them.
Qi Lan suddenly began to hate himself, and even cruelly transferred Rong Jue away from Dingjing, and pushed Man Jin too hard, causing them to join forces with the Xiongnu.But Rong Jue broke through Dragon City and captured Wangfeng City, both sides hated him to the bone, knowing that he was in Ningguan, they would definitely attack him.
When there was no one there, he took out the letter that Rong Jue had just sent to him. The tone of the letter was still relaxed. Although it was only a few words, he was still reluctant to read it all at once.
He will soon go out to find Rong Jue, if he cannot be found...
Qi Lan shuddered violently.Impossible, Man Jin has been haunting Juxialing all the time, but he has never been able to find Rong Jue, as long as he gets there, it will be all right to find him.
When Rong Jue left, it was actually him who felt lonely and uncomfortable.Every time I reply to a letter, I have to restrain myself and consider my tone, afraid that I will reveal my emotions if I write too much, and I just want the relationship between the two to gradually fade due to the distance and dwindling connection.Occasionally, I write too much, and if I send it too soon, I feel regret and anticipation at the same time: at what stage has Rong Jue's feelings for him reached, is he also looking forward to it like him.When he saw his reply, would he also write more? What would he write?
Sometimes, he was really afraid that one day Rong Jue would write in a letter that he would soon have a gentle and beautiful princess, and they would have a child who would inherit the title of King Rong.What will he do then?Should I congratulate him with a smile, and then let him send Xiao Rongjue over, so that I can be satisfied by looking at him a few times?
His child should be like him, right?Lively and flamboyant, domineering and smart, he will be the top tyrant of the Guozijian.
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't stop throbbing, his pulse kept beating as if his heart was about to fall out of his chest, and he would soon fall to the ground and die.He didn't want a child who was similar to Rong Jue to miss him, all he wanted was Rong Jue.He never wanted to let Jue leave again, as long as he left, he could only toss and turn with a few words in the letter.
This is Rong Jue's last letter. At the end of the letter, he said that he wanted to discuss something with him. I hope he will not be angry and open the door to convenience... Qi Lan has read this letter several times. The ink marks on the letter are not quite the same as the previous few sentences, it seems to have been added temporarily, and it is much more scribbled.
It's... what's the matter?After all, it's not about marrying a wife and having children.
Pressing the letter on his chest, trying to calm the heartbeat in his chest, Qi Lan turned around and straightened his robe, and said to Yuan De who was standing sideways: "Let's go, go find King Rong."
He wanted to hear the answer with his own ears.
===
Walking north along Juxia Ridge, along the way, they encountered several barbarian teams.These wild gold squads were all in a hurry, walking to remote and steep places, and it seemed that they were indeed looking for Rong Jue.
"No news is the best news." Looking at the sky, it was getting late, and the men under him were exhausted, so Qi Lan raised his hand to signal for the army to stop.
So comforted himself a few times, Qi Lan found a quiet place to look at the distant peak, Ah Jue, will you be there?
The team led by Qi Lan joined Feng Xiuran and searched for Rong Jue together in Juxialing.As for Xieliu in Mobei, they transferred Meng's father and son from Yunguan to Ningguan. Xie Liu was stationed in Yunzhou, and then sent a small team to harass him. soldiers and horses.
Marching hard, Qi Lan didn't sit down even after resting. This caught the attention of Feng Xiujie who was traveling with him. He took some food and handed it to him: "Your Majesty, eat something."
Gently waving his hand, Qi Lan refused, Rong Jue was nowhere to be seen, he really lost his appetite.After finally fighting with the courtiers to see victory, the imperial conquest, if you still can't find him...
Qi Lan recalled that Feng Xiujie used to belong to Qi Bo's party, and said, "Eat more, you look pale..."
"Your Majesty," Feng Xiujie interrupted unexpectedly, "I know."
"Ok?"
"No wonder King Rong chose you back then. You are exactly the same people." Feng Xiujie squeezed and opened his palms. He grew up in Dingjing in a pampered place. Before he came to the border, he had never touched a sword a few times. Compared with his rough fingers, he looked out of place and extremely weak.
Knowing the close relationship between Qi Lan and Rong Jue, he was also very worried at the moment, Feng Xiujie smiled and said in a low voice: "Rong Jue kicked me out before the Ning Pass was broken."
Qi Lan suddenly turned his neck and looked at him with burning eyes.
Feng Xiujie didn't care, and told his experience in Ningguan one by one: "That guy Rong Jue knew that Ningguan would not be able to hold it - there were too many soldiers and horses from Man Jin and the Huns, so he let me I came out first, but I was standing in front of the battle..." Feng Xiujie choked up a bit when he said this, he never thought that one day he would feel sad because of Rong Jue.
"You said, he already knew... that Ningguan couldn't keep it?" Qi Lan held back the pain in his heart, and grasped this message keenly. Since Rong Jue knew that this moment would come, he should be ready to escape. right.
Feng Xiuran was stunned, and said in a low voice: "This... is actually my speculation..." He recalled the scene at that time, but he still felt unbearable: "At that time, King Rong was on the top of the city tower in front of the enemy and there were many generals. The soldiers were yelling at me..."
The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I become.
Qi Lan suddenly chuckled, ever since he knew that Rong Jue was missing, he has been tense, which made everyone dare not be careless and play casually.
"I see." Qi Lan suddenly felt relieved. Since Rong Jue did this, he should have made preparations to withdraw from Ningguan, and then let Feng Xiujie go out to report the letter first, but the opponent's offensive was too fierce, and they couldn't persist. When Feng Xiuran's reinforcements came to cover them, Ningguan was captured, and they had no choice but to flee in a hurry, taking advantage of the complex terrain of Juxialing to avoid Manjin.
Patting Feng Xiujie on the shoulder, Qi Lan smiled and said, "Thank you very much." Thank you for bringing me the news that Ah Jue is intact.
Leaving behind Feng Xiujie who was still confused, Qi Lan called Feng Xiuran and planned to search for people in batches.
===
Where will Rong Jue be?Qi Lan didn't know, he kept climbing up with people, looking for every possible place to hide people.
When Qi Lan was looking for it, a figure occasionally flashed across the snow-covered woodland, and then quickly disappeared.
They entered a valley, the winter stream was frozen, and the sun shone in, only the faint flowing water below could be seen.
Looking up at the team behind, Qi Lan asked people to survey the terrain to confirm that there were no barbarians around, and ordered them to rest on the spot to dig ice and dig stoves.
Even at noon, the sun was not too hot. Qi Lan stared at the stream for a long time, picked up the food handed by the people below, and after taking a few mouthfuls, he heard noises from around him.
"What's going on?" Could it be that the barbarians made a surprise attack?
Putting down the bowls and chopsticks in a hurry, Qi Lan drew out his saber and ordered repeatedly to stabilize everyone's emotions.
Suddenly people came from both sides of Taniguchi, armed with guns and shields, and surrounded them.Seeing this, Qi Lan hurriedly turned the point of the guns of the people on the outermost side outwards to confront the coming people.
It seems that the other party came prepared, how long has this been with them?
Clenching the hilt of his sword nervously, Qi Lan knew that he didn't actually have much actual combat experience, but he encountered a few small battles when he was new to this road, and Feng Xiuran was basically in command, and he would only make a sound if he missed something occasionally. Reminder to add.
The strange thing is that after the other party surrounded them, they did not rush to attack. The leading general looked at their military flag for a while, then looked at Qi Lan who was in the center, suddenly raised his hand, and asked loudly: "What are you? people?"
Not a barbarian?
Qi Lan's fingers holding the sword loosened, and he breathed a sigh of relief. If his own people... who are they, could it be Rong Jue?
His heartbeat became faster and faster. He carefully observed the soldiers and horses surrounding them. The armor had been damaged, but it still did not damage the spirit of these people. The eyes in their visors were still radiant. Moreover, the standard of these armors... ...It's from Mobei!
The general who led the team had met Qi Lan in Beijing before, and after confirming each other's identities, the general introduced their current situation.Rong Jue had indeed expected all of this a long time ago, and was ready to flee, but Man Jin and the Huns came too fast, they withdrew in a hurry, and Rong Jue was still injured on the way.
Speaking of which, the general explained to Qi Lan that Rong Jue and his injured brother were recovering from their wounds. These days, Manjin has been searching the mountains, and they were just patrolling. hands-on.Unexpectedly, Qi Lan slowly led people into the valley where they recuperated.
"So, Rong Jue... No, King Rong is here?" Unable to restrain his ecstasy, Qi Lan quickly asked.
"Yes, the prince is here, please Your Majesty come with me."
The cave where Rong Jue lives should be formed naturally, the outside is extremely narrow, and it is not easy to pass by people. Similarly, it is not easy to be found.The cave was originally in the shade, but when I entered the cave, I felt even colder.Qi Lan supported the stone wall and slowly moved in. When he got to the open place inside, he looked at his palms, which were already worn out and bleeding.
"Your Majesty?" the guide beside him called him softly.
"It's okay, where's Ah Jue?" Wiping his palms casually, Qi Lan looked around inside. It's said to be open here, but it can only accommodate two or three people sitting there. ,
"It's inside." The guide pointed further, and Qi Lan took a closer look, and there was indeed a figure lying down.
"My lord is still resting." The person leading the way blessed his body, moved slowly, took some melted ice water and put it into a small stove in the corner, and slowly boiled it.
The cold cave seems to be getting warmer.
Restraining his trembling body, Qi Lan walked towards Rong Jue step by step.
The lying person only had some blush on both sides of his cheeks, the rest was white as snow, and his long black hair was scattered randomly. You can faintly see the lines on his chapped lips.
"Ah Jue..." He called softly, and couldn't help reaching out to stroke his forehead.
The ice water on the other side was already much hotter. Qi Lan took the water and carefully fed it to Rong Jue. However, the person lying down did not wake up for a long time, and a lot of the water fed in flowed out.
That does not work.
Qi Lan frowned, and just as she was about to call for help, she realized that the person who led the way had already left.
Is this how they take care of Rong Jue?
Qi Lan suddenly felt a great deal of anger. Anyone he cherished was being abused so badly, no one would be happy.Moreover, this person is from Mobei!
He just wanted to get up and call someone, when he found that Rong Jue, who was still motionless, opened his eyes.The cave was dim, and those eyes were another pair of candles, shining brightly.
"Qi Lan... am I dreaming?" Rong Jue blinked, unable to believe it.
Qi Lan didn't bother to call people now, and held Rong Jue with his backhand: "I'm not dreaming, I'm right here, Ah Jue."
Nodding slightly, Rong Jue was still a little dazed just after waking up, and sat there for a while before saying: "Water."
Qi Lan hurriedly picked up the previous water, touched the wall of the cup, and said, "It's getting cold, wait a bit."
There was also a kettle heating on the small stove, Qi Lan had never used this before, so he just touched the handle with his hand.
"Hiss—" He was burned.
"What's wrong?" Hearing the sound, Rong Jue had already sat up and was about to stand up.
Qi Lan hurriedly said: "Just sit down, it will be fine, immediately, immediately!"
Sighing helplessly, Rong Jue took the water from Qi Lan: "What do you think of me? Don't worry, I'm not seriously injured, and I'm almost on the mend."
People who had gone out before came in again, bringing some hot food.It turned out that this person had just gone to fetch food.
Looking at his expression, Rong Jue could probably guess a thing or two, waved people to leave, and distributed some food to Qi Lan, and the two of them spread a mat on the ground, and started eating like this.
Talking while eating, Rong Jue said: "My injury is almost healed, but I am drowsy after drinking the medicine. There are only so many people who can be called out to help. Besides me, there are other people who are injured... Besides, I have one for myself. Cave, isn't that good?"
The group of them rested here for a period of time, coupled with the need to guard against wild gold searches, many of them also recovered slowly due to the shortage of medicinal materials.
"I'm sorry..." Qi Lan said unexpectedly, "If I had... no, I shouldn't have let you go back to Mobei..."
"What are you talking about? It's a mess." Rong Jue gave him a puzzled look, "Sooner or later, there will be a war. It's good for the two of them to unite now, and take this opportunity to wipe them all out."
Qi Lan suddenly felt that he had nothing to say.
From the beginning to the end, Rong Jue didn't notice his little thoughts.He didn't know his worries, but still made plans for his country with all his heart.
"Ah Jue." Qi Lan put down the bowl and chopsticks, with a solemn tone, "You... you said in the letter that the thing you asked for my help...is...what is it?"
I stuttered like this after asking such a sentence, is it too cold?
Rong Jue was a little confused, so he told the truth about how he wanted to choose the next King Rong, and added: "In fact, the main reason for this matter is that the husband agreed, and he also said that he would help me improve it, or else..."
Before Rong Jue could finish speaking, his mouth was already blocked.
what's the situation?Rong Jue was dumbfounded.
"Hmm... I just happen to..."
"I know."
Ah Jue, you don't know how happy I am. Fortunately, you don't know anything. Fortunately, you are still here. Fortunately, you have thought of a solution... All the luck is brought by you. Just a little bit can make me happy. I am very happy.The joys and sorrows of life are all because of you.
Fortunately, I met you, and then I can spend the rest of my life with you.
The author has something to say:
When I saw the comments before, I almost thought that I posted the outline by the way when I pasted it, and then I was glad: Fortunately, I finished it long ago_(:з」∠)_Ahem, anyway, I am very happy to comment I'm happy, whether it's checking in or discussing the plot, it's all good... because I didn't reply much, and everyone is willing to leave a message, which is really surprising.I really seldom reply to comments, because I usually finish coding very late, I am very tired, and usually go to sleep directly.At this time, I don't want to see a single square character. If I had time earlier, I would play the game before going to sleep.And let’s comment back on this matter. I think it’s too stylized to add emojis, and it’s not very good. After finally finding a different emoji, the system will remind you that there are problems and you can’t pass. If you discuss the plot, I'm afraid of spoilers, if I don't say it, I really have nothing to say.So I am willing to comment without replying to everyone. You are so enthusiastic, if there is something to show off, I must show it off [-] times.
Tomorrow is the last chapter, and for the next episode, remember to read the chapter name and buy it on demand.Thank you ^_^
Finally, it's cold, remember to add more clothes.
