Zhao Litang carefully hugged the little person in front of him. His body had become a little thinner, and holding such a slender and soft figure in his arms made him feel distressed. He involuntarily increased the strength in his hands.
"Brother Tang, Brother Tang, please let me go first, okay? I can't breathe."
Qi Changyi whispered.
Zhao Litang quickly let go of her hand and said with concern, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too excited at the moment and couldn't control my emotions. How are you? It's okay.
Bar?"
Qi Changyi smiled and said, "I feel much better now. I don't feel so bad anymore, really."
As he said this, he turned around to prove that he was fine.
Zhao Litang finally smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
The two chatted for a while, during which Shen Huan came to deliver a decoction of medicine. Qi Changyi thanked her politely, then drank it all by himself.
It was already very late at night, and Zhao Litang didn't want to disturb Qi Changyi's rest. He had just woken up, and even though his illness had been cured, he still needed to rest well.
"Chang Yi, it's already late today, you should have a good rest first, we can talk about anything tomorrow."
Zhao Litang watched Qi Changyi climb onto the bed, tucked the quilt in for him, then blew out the candle and turned to leave the tent.
As soon as I walked out of the tent, I saw a dark figure standing in front of me, with his back to the moonlight and his face hidden in the darkness.
With a "ye" sound, the cold sword was unsheathed.
Zhao Litang felt a cold sharp weapon pressing against his neck. He was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Pei Zheng meant.
"General Zhao, the blood on the sword belongs to those traitors."
Pei Zheng curled the corners of his lips, "How is it, is it still hot?"
Zhao Litang smelled the blood on the sword and heard Pei Zheng's strange tone. He suddenly felt nauseous and his back went cold. He hurriedly took a step back to avoid the sword.
"Master Pei, are you going to interrogate those traitors? Did you find out anything?"
Pei Zheng retracted the sword and casually stuck it into the ground.
"No," he said, "I killed them."
"If someone has no value, then he has no reason to live."
Zhao Litang's anger suddenly surged up to his head. He had been holding a grudge against Pei Zheng for a long time. When he heard that Pei Zheng had dealt with the criminal he had caught without authorization, he became even angrier.
"You actually killed everyone! Why didn't you discuss this with me beforehand? Lord Pei, there is one thing you need to understand. This is not the imperial capital, this is a frontier military camp! This is not a place where you can cover the sky with one hand!"
Pei Zheng looked at the angry Zhao Litang, but his expression remained cold and indifferent, and he even raised his lips and smiled.

"I'm just handling a small matter for General Zhao. Since even I can't find out anything about him, there's no need for anyone else to interrogate him. If we don't kill him, are we going to keep him alive?"
As he spoke, Pei Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Litang.
"Besides, I see General Zhao is so busy and has stayed in this tent for so long. I guess there must be something more important than military intelligence."
There was a hint of frivolity in his tone, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, making him look like he was joking.
But only people who are familiar with Pei Zheng know that the more calm he looks, the more he cares and the more he is trying to suppress something.
"You! Speak with more respect!" Zhao Litang spoke louder, forgetting that it was the middle of the night and the little guy inside had just fallen asleep.
"Don't I respect General Zhao enough?"
Pei Zheng sneered, "He only treats you as a brother, how can he know what kind of shameless thoughts are in your mind?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Litang swung his fist towards him.
Pei Zheng dodged sideways and instead punched Zhao Litang in the face.
Zhao Litang wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and punched Pei Zheng back.
"I admit that I treat him as more than just a brother, but I have never had any dirty thoughts about him. But you, what evil things have you done? Do you want me to list them in detail?"
"Oh? What is considered as a crime against humanity? I'd like to hear it."
Zhao Litang gritted his teeth and said word by word with difficulty, "Does it count if he loses the baby in his belly?"
Pei Zheng's body froze slightly.
"If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have to endure all this. He doesn't know yet, he doesn't know that he once had a child, so he doesn't know how to be sad. But what about you? You know all this, how can you be so indifferent and without any grief like you are now? Or does Master Pei have a bad memory and have forgotten it?"
Pei Zheng held the sword that he had just inserted into the ground, his eyes filled with coldness.
Who said he forgot
How could he forget, how dare he forget.
It's just buried deep in my heart. I dare not speak it out, dare not recall it, and dare not touch it. As soon as I touch it, it will be so heart-wrenchingly painful that I can't breathe.
That is also his child, a child belonging to both of them.
It is a young sprout that left this world in a hurry before it had the chance to come into the world.
But before he had time to miss that little life, all his attention was taken up by the dying little person.
But now, how could he be accused of not caring so easily
Pei Zheng gathered his energy and wielded the cold sword. The sword flew in the air a few times and then stabbed straight at Zhao Litang who was still lying on the ground.
"don't want!"
At this moment, a small black shadow flashed in the moonlight and rushed over to block Zhao Litang.
Pei Zheng opened his eyes slightly, and only had time to hurriedly retract his internal strength, causing the sword to stop just in front of the little man, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
Qi Changyi didn't know when he woke up, when he quietly left the tent, and he didn't know what he had just heard.
He was wearing thin clothes, with messy hair hanging down his back. His fair little face was covered with tear marks, and his eyes were shining with tears as he looked at Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng took a step forward and called softly, "Your Highness"
Qi Changyi suddenly turned his face away and looked away.
He turned around and looked at Zhao Litang, and saw the injuries on his face and mouth, and asked, "Brother Tang, you are injured, let me help you up first."
Zhao Litang let Qi Changyi help him stand up. He didn't know whether Changyi was so resistant to Pei Zheng because he heard what he had just said. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
"Changyi, listen to me"
"Brother Tang, it's so cold outside. Let's go in first. I want to clean your wound."
Zhao Litang also noticed that Qi Changyi was wearing very little and was shivering slightly. Thinking that he was feeling cold, he followed him into the tent.
The tent curtains were drawn, and the warmth inside kept out the cold outside.
As soon as he walked in, Qi Changyi suddenly let go of Zhao Litang's arm, as if he had no strength left in his body. He slowly squatted down, hugged his knees, and buried his head in his arms.
Zhao Litang squatted down with him, patted his shoulder, and asked worriedly, "Chang Yi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I'll ask Doctor Jiang to take a look at you, okay?"
"No, no need, Brother Tang, I want to be alone for a while, can you let me be alone for a while?"
Qi Changyi didn't look up, his voice was muffled and tearful, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to hold back something.
Zhao Litang held his arm anxiously, "We have to go back to ** first. You are getting cold. Go cover yourself with a blanket and warm yourself up."
"Brother Tang, I'm fine, just let me be alone, okay? I'll be fine in a moment. I really beg you, please go out first, okay
Having said that, Zhao Litang really couldn't bear to force him any further. He sighed, took off his outer robe and put it on him, then turned around and walked out of the tent, looking back every few steps.
He drew aside the curtain and looked outside. There was no one outside, only the cold sword still flashing in the moonlight.
Qi Changyi was the only one left in the tent. He huddled on the ground with his knees hugged. Although the charcoal fire in the tent was burning brightly and he was wearing Zhao Litang's thick outer robe, he still felt freezing cold.
Just now, he was standing behind the curtain of the tent, a few steps away, and could hear the conversation between the two people outside clearly.
Although he is very stupid, he can still understand some words.
He tried hard to recall the memories that he seemed to have forgotten, and suddenly he felt a dull pain in his stomach.
It's not physical pain, but a kind of empty void caused by the lack of something.
A small hand slowly rested on his abdomen, which was flat and thin enough that he could touch his hip bones on both sides.
Was there ever a little life here
But, is it right that I let him go because I failed to protect him
Did he come and leave because he didn't like me
Are you thinking that you are too stupid and cannot take good care of him
Qi Changyi's tears flowed like a dam bursting, dripping onto his cuffs, wetting that area.
It was a silent night and everyone else had fallen asleep, except for a lonely little fool who was hugging his knees, silently shedding tears and feeling sad all by himself.
I don’t know how long I cried, until my whole body was cold and numb, and my bare feet were pale and bloodless.
Suddenly, it seemed as if someone was gently stroking his hair. The little guy raised his head slightly, blinked twice slowly, and saw a pair of black boots with gold thread appear in front of him. Then, he was held in a warm embrace like a treasure.
There was a slight smell of alcohol all over his body, and Qi Changyi also inhaled some of the drunkenness.
Then someone grabbed his limp arm and lifted it up, wrapping it around the neck of the person in front of him. A hand gently pushed his back forward, and the little guy opened his arms and deeply embedded himself in the chest of the person in front of him.
This embrace is deeper than any other, the bodies of the two people embraced fit tightly together without leaving even a single gap.
Before Qi Changyi could react, he felt a wet and hot touch on his neck, and hot breath sprayed on his fair neck.
"Darling, don't ignore me, okay?"
