After a night of bloody rain, the sky finally dawned, like every peaceful and worry-free day, when everything wakes up and the morning light is faint.
Baidi City was protected by those brave people who made it their home, and it was as peaceful as yesterday.
Death and sacrifice are inevitable. Although it is heartbreaking, the living must always look forward.
After a fierce battle, more than a thousand people were injured. Because Xu Yixian and Qin Jueming came to Baidi City, Shi Huanian also came back here. However, it was immediately decided to close Jinsefang for half a month, and vacate the attic to house the injured.
Many girls in Jinsefang are good at caring and proficient in medical skills, and they have helped a lot.
Although Shen Qionglin was seriously injured, he was very lucky to save his life, and his arms and legs were not broken, but it is estimated that he will lie on this sick bed for a long time.
Shen Yushu ran between Jinsefang and Tianque Mountain Villa, not only taking care of Shen Qionglin, but also asking the girls for medical skills, and often helping them.
It was only then that everyone discovered that although Young Master Shen was spoiled since he was a child, he was very careful and conscientious in his work, neither too hard nor too tired nor too dirty.
Shen Chao distributed most of his family's wealth to the relatives of those who died in yesterday's bloody battle, and also to those who were seriously injured or disabled, so that they would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
As for Li Changtian's killing of Regent Han Ya, Qin Jueming didn't say much for the time being, but asked Yan Shu and Li Changtian to bandage the wound.
The one who was in charge of bandaging Li Changtian's wound was a clever little girl. She smiled like a flower, with admiration and longing in her eyes, and kept making Li Changtian happy.
In the end, before she could say a word to Li Changtian, she walked over alone and said, "Don't bother Miss, just leave it to me."
The little girl looked up and saw that the person who was speaking was a young man with an incomparable elegance and an outstanding temperament.
The little girl covered her lips and smiled, pointed at the young man's palms and arms wrapped in white cloth, and said, "I won't bother you, and ah, you are hurt yourself, son, you should go and rest quickly."
Unexpectedly, the man was very persistent, the little girl had no choice but to give the medicine to Yan Shu, and went to help other wounded patients.
Yan Shu took the medicine, and applied the medicine to Li Changtian very lightly.
He had no other ideas.
It's just that Li Changtian is afraid of pain, and the little girl looked a little heavy on her hands.
It's really just that.
When Yan Shu applied the medicine to bandage Li Changtian, Li Changtian remained very quiet. He was really in severe pain, so he frowned and breathed in lightly. He was completely different from the idiot who was afraid of pain and cried.
He seemed exhausted, like anyone who is exhausted and just wants to sit still and stare blankly.
Yan Shu looked at Li Changtian worriedly.
Li Changtian noticed Yan Shu's uneasiness, raised his head, and smiled at him with his curved eyes.
Yan Shu was stunned, moved his eyes abruptly, lowered his head, and continued to bandage Li Changtian's wound.
After Yan Shuzai treated Li Changtian's injury carefully and gently, he heard Li Changtian say thank you softly.
"You're welcome." Yan Shu adjusted the medicine bottle, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Li Changtian lowered his eyes, making it hard to see his expression. He was in a daze, like a silent stone sculpture, and didn't even hear Yan Shu's concerned question for a while.
Yan Shu didn't get up to leave either, and watched him silently.
"Huh?" Li Changtian raised his head in a daze and looked at Yan Shu, "Why didn't you leave?"
Yan Shu asked softly again: "Is it okay?"
"Ah..." Li Changtian didn't know how to answer this question. He pondered for a while and asked, "Yanshu, can you go somewhere with me? If you're busy, I'll just ask casually. Forget it, you must be busy." .”
Yan Shu looked at Li Changtian, waited for him to finish talking to himself, and said, "I'll accompany you."
-
The two walked side by side on the forest path in the back mountain of Tianque Villa.
It's mid-autumn, and the fallen leaves are withered and yellow. Who wants the west wind to be cool alone.
Both Yan Shu and Li Changtian were injured, so they couldn't walk fast, but fortunately, they didn't rush for a while, the ancient moss was green, the autumn smoke was green, it was rare to be leisurely and peaceful.
Yan Shu remembered that when he and Li Changtian first met, it was also in autumn.
It has been a year since Liu Guang threw him away.
"arrive."
Li Changtian said suddenly.
Yan Shu raised his head and looked, in front of him were two green tombs made of stone and bricks.
Incense was burning in front of the tombstone, tributes were placed, and yellow paper and paper copper coins were pressed on stones.
Li Changtian looked at one of the tombstones in a daze, and said, "Sister, I'm here to see you".
Yan Shu bowed three times to the grave, but didn't say much.
Both of them were silent, the autumn wind whimpered and the bamboo leaves rustled.
After a long time, Li Changtian spoke slowly, and said to Yan Shu, "This place is very beautiful and quiet, my sister should like it."
"Yeah." Yan Shu nodded.
"Yan Shu, do you still remember that there is an assassin who looks exactly like me in Jackdaw?" Li Changtian asked.
Yan Shu glanced at Li Changtian and nodded, "I remember."
Li Changtian looked at the tombstone: "His name is A Wu, and he is good at disguise. That day, after the Jackdaw Assassin took me out of the cell, he used his personal power to let the other Jackdaw Assassins wait for a while, and then took me away." Go back to his room and lock it up."
"The last thing he said to me was that it was me, not you, who went down to accompany her."
"At first, I didn't understand what he meant by this sentence. Later, Lord Shen Chao told me that when the Beidi people launched an attack that day, Ah Wu died instead of me."
"Prince Shen didn't know it was Ah Wu, thought it was me, and buried him beside my sister."
"Although Ah Wu walked away in my appearance, if he can meet my sister on Huangquan Road, my sister will definitely recognize him as him."
Li Changtian said calmly, he didn't discuss the right and wrong of this matter and what Ah Wu did, he was just stating calmly, just telling a story.
He just wanted to talk to someone about it.
Talk about the joys and sorrows, the fate of karma, and the world of mortals.
Yan Shu stood there, listening quietly, and happened to see a yellowed bamboo leaf falling from the tip of Li Changtian's hair, and calmly reached out to take it off for him.
After Li Changtian and Yan Shu finished telling the story, they sat in front of Li Qiushui's tombstone and whispered to her for a while until the sun was setting.
"Let's go." Li Changtian stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and said gratefully to Yan Shu, "Thank you for accompanying me."
Yan Shu nodded, and walked to Tianque Villa with Li Changtian.
On the platform in front of the white marble arch bridge at the main entrance of Tianque Mountain Villa, Qin Jueming was organizing troops to count the number of people.
Because of the fearlessness and bravery of the people of Baidi City, the soldiers brought by Qin Jueming were almost uninjured. Although Baidi City is safe now, the death of the regent, civil strife in the court, and Beidi's invasion of Shuofang are all imminent matters.
Qin Jueming decided to set off immediately and return to the capital to meet the Holy Majesty.
Shen Chao is responsible for the rest of the complicated and trivial matters in Baidi City.
Seeing Yan Shu and Li Changtian approaching, Qin Jueming stepped forward.
"Father." Yan Shu saluted.
Li Changtian imitated Yan Shu's movements and saluted: "Master Qin."
After Qin Jueming nodded to Yan Shu, he looked at Li Changtian.
"Brother Changtian, there is something that needs to be done on business. Please don't blame Qin, little brother, just follow me." After speaking, Qin Jueming turned around and walked behind the assembled soldiers.
Yan Shu and Li Changtian looked at each other, thinking about what Qin Jueming said.
Yan Shu's face turned pale suddenly, and there was panic in his eyes.
After Li Changtian was surprised, his face was indifferent.
The two followed Qin Jueming's pace, and after walking several hundred meters, they stopped in front of a wooden prison cart followed by three guards.
Yan Shu gritted his teeth and asked, "Father, what does this mean?"
Qin Jueming looked calm, and asked Yan Shu back: "Shu'er, you are the young minister of Dali Temple, and you belong to the Ministry of Punishment. Please answer me, how should you deal with those who kill the royal family and nobles without authorization?"
Yan Shu lowered his eyes, fell silent, and his face was full of reconciliation.
"Brother Changtian." Qin Jueming said, "I hope you forgive me."
"Forgive me or not. I did commit a crime, and I have to take responsibility for what I do. When Master Qin reminded me, I thought about the consequences." Li Changtian was very cooperative, and took the initiative to open the door of the prison car, ready to get in.
Yan Shu suddenly pulled Li Changtian back, looked at Qin Jueming, and said, "Father, Li Changtian was held hostage at that time and was in a critical situation. If he didn't fight back desperately, his life might be in danger. I think this matter should be carefully considered and taken care of." Be determined, besides, if I were Li Changtian, I would also kill Han Ya at such a critical moment."
Yan Shu was really in a hurry, and dared to say outrageous things like killing the royal family.
"Shu'er." Qin Jueming asked slowly, "Do you know what you're talking about? You've always been impartial, strict, and unselfish. Do you deserve this official uniform for saying such things?"
"Father's teaching is right, no matter what, I really don't have the face anymore... um..." Before Yan Shu finished speaking, Li Changtian covered her mouth.
Li Changtian looked at Qin Jueming and said with an apologetic smile: "Master Qin, Yan Shu fell down in the mountains just now and accidentally bumped his head, and kept talking nonsense. Your lord has a lot, don't be surprised."
Yan Shu: "..."
Qin Jueming raised his eyebrows meaningfully: "Oh? If that's the case, I don't think we should discuss this kind of thing too much. Shu'er, go and see how the whole team is doing."
Li Changtian let go of Yan Shu, but Yan Shu continued to argue: "Father..."
"Okay." Qin Jueming interrupted him in a serious tone, "Go."
Yan Shu: "..."
Yan Shu clenched his hands unwillingly, and glanced at Li Changtian.
Li Changtian winked at him, telling him to follow Qin Jueming's orders and hurry up.
Yan Shu had no choice but to stand up and walk away without turning his head.
Li Changtian breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Yan Shu would be dragged down by his own affairs, seeing Yan Shu leave, Li Changtian obediently got into the prison car and sat down.
Qin Jueming gave Li Changtian a meaningful look, gave the guard a few words, got up and left.
Soon, the soldiers assembled their teams and prepared to leave Baidi City.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Yushu rushed over to bid farewell to Yan Shu and Li Changtian. When he saw Li Changtian sitting in the prison car, he couldn't help being stunned: "Is this something interesting?"
Li Changtian: "... I'm so fucking curious about what's in your little head."
The two said goodbye reluctantly, and agreed to fly a pigeon to send a letter and visit for a visit.
Of course, the premise is that he is not guilty of death.
Li Changtian silently added in his heart.
In this way, under the leadership of Qin Jueming, three thousand soldiers walked out of the city in a mighty manner.
Li Changtian sat leaning against the corner of the prison cart, with the back of his head resting on the wooden pillar of the prison cart, counting the stars with his head up, when suddenly the sound of horseshoes came from his ears.
Yuma Yanshu came to the prison car and handed Li Changtian a warm and thick blanket.
Li Changtian took it with a dazed expression, raised his head to ask, but saw that Yan Shu had left on his horse.
After a while, Yan Shu rode over again, stuffed Li Changtian with a fragrant apple, and left immediately.
Li Changtian: "..."
As a prisoner who killed the royal family without permission, is there anything wrong with this treatment
