Chapter 129 Lian Li
Dong Polu has been the prince for many years, but it was just a layer of glamorous brocade robe wrapped around him. He was still an arrogant and unruly person.
He didn't know how long he had seen him crying, as if he had cried in front of his wife's grave, but it seemed that he hadn't. But at this moment, with Qingyan's words under the city, Dong Polu's eyes were red and moist, and he forced himself to not let the old tears fall.
Perhaps everyone's minds were attracted by the warriors under the city, and they forgot to report to open the city gate.
Dong Polu was the first to react and ran towards the city first, with Dong Fan following closely behind.
The father and son were the first to grab the city gate, and the other soldiers rushed forward, hoping to open the city gate for the warriors outside the city.
"Let's go home."
Qingyan took heavy steps and slowly moved forward with the eyes of everyone under the city gate. All the mounts, including Mo Xue, followed obediently beside his master, as if he knew that the deceased warrior on his back was as heavy as Mount Tai.
"Brothers, we are too crowded on the horse's back. Let's help them relax quickly." Dong wiped his tears, carried a robe on Mo Xue's back, and followed Qingyan.
Seeing this, the other soldiers also walked forward with tears in their eyes, took over the cold bodies of their brothers one by one, and slowly followed behind.
Dong Zhao stood beside his father, quietly looking at the scene in front of him, watching Qingyan mix with blood that was alive or dead, and scattered on the ground and left countless blood-red footprints.
"Ni Shang, he deserves the Dong family."
"I have no regrets in my life to be his wife."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the injury camp, Qingyan was lying on the wooden bed and grinning.
"You hold on and you'll be fine right away."
Dong Zhao squatted in front of Qingyan and held the other person's hand, his eyes full of heartache.
"Your Highness, these two swords behind you can see the bones. If you are not treated with caution, you will definitely suffer from a hidden disease in the future." Doctor Zheng sutured the wound behind Qingyan and explained with a voice.
"I didn't feel much pain just now, but why did I feel heart-wrenching when I lay here?" Qing Yan smiled helplessly.
"That's not because of the remains that your mind is carrying, but all your mind is on this."
Qingyan sighed and said, "I can only bring their bodies back. If I were really like my father, I would not have let these good brothers die here."
"You have done well enough, better than anyone else. Except for the remains of the cavalry who died in the enemy camp, they were brought back first, and the rest of them were either alive or dead, and you let them go home." Dong Zhao said this, his eyes were moist again.
"Although I know that life and death on the battlefield have been determined by their destiny and have fought several tough battles, I can't adapt to their smiles no matter what, and I can't adapt to it now."
"I understand, I understand..."
Although Doctor Zheng was steady in his hands, he heard the conversation between the two without saying a word in his heart and couldn't help but sigh. When he started to deal with the second wound, he suddenly said with surprise: "Your Highness, why did I find that your wound seems to be a little more hidden than just now?"
When Qingyan heard this, his sadness was dispelled and he quickly said perfunctorily: "Maybe you are too tired these days and are a little confused. Doctor Zheng, you might as well hurry up, there are still many people behind here."
Dong Zhao knew in his heart that it was Qingyan's magical power, and he knew that this matter would never be made public, so he also spoke: "Qingyan is right. He is young and strong and has a hard body. It doesn't matter if you start faster."
When Doctor Zheng heard this, he didn't think much about it, and his hand was getting faster.
When Qingyan put on his clothes and sat up, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought that he had finally escaped. It seemed that he should try to get injured as little as possible in the future. Even if he was injured, he should not be allowed to treat outsiders. If he really wanted to let outsiders see through some tricks, his own troubles would definitely come one after another.
"Dr. Zheng, thank you for your treatment this time. I will send you a few jars of good wine to repay you in the future."
"Your Highness, you heard from the princess. If I were to pay money or something, I would never charge it, but I would never refuse this good wine."
With Dong Zhao's support, Qingyan slowly walked out of the tent. When he looked up, he couldn't help but stop.
I saw many people standing outside the tent, including old, young, male, female, family and military soldiers. When I saw Qingyan walking out, I was filled with tears.
"Well, are you here to find me?" Qingyan asked a little embarrassedly.
A tooth that lost both legs was lifted out on a stretcher. "Your Highness, the little man's younger brother was lucky enough to follow you to the foot of the Forbidden Mountain last night. Although he did not come back alive, you would rather walk than carry him back in person. You... You just hate that you have no legs and cannot thank Your Highness for your great kindness."
Seeing that the toothed general lowered his head deeply, Qingyan squatted in front of him and said, "I guess you are the brother of Soldier Xu. Your brother killed more than a dozen enemy troops last night. On the way to hunt down the enemy, he was unfortunately shot through his chest by three crossbow arrows and did not bring him back alive. It was my fault."
"Your Highness's words will never agree with you! Death in the battlefield is the destination of a border soldier. I believe that the second brother would be proud of following Your Highness to go on a war in his lifetime." Yajiang held Qingyan's hand tightly and said excitedly: "If His Highness had not carried his body back personally, those monkeys in Nanyi would have vented their anger. Your Highness's great kindness, the villain will never forget you!"
After Ya Jiang said that, many people around him came forward to thank Qingyan for bringing his husband or son back to Zhennan Pass, regardless of life or death.
Seeing these people talking more and more excited, they were about to kneel down, Qingyan quickly sang: "Listen to me!"
"Everyone must know that I am the prince of the side-by-side king and helped the Prince of Lingnan fight against Nanyi as a guest general. Although I am not a member of Lingnan or a real frontier soldier, I have been killing the enemy side by side with the soldiers in the past few days and relying on each other. I think they are my brothers."
"Even if I didn't bring them back alive, even if I tried my best, I had to let their souls go back to Zhennan Pass to rest in peace. I think even if I died in battle, my brothers would bring me back as well. So don't break the blame on me anymore. This is what I should do."
"The prince of the side-by-side is right. No matter who dies in battle, the living will bring their brothers back." Dong Polu walked through the crowd and stood beside Qing Yan.
When everyone saw the prince coming in person, they quickly knelt down and saluted.
"You kneel down and you will be kneeling along with the prince." Dong Polu said in a deep voice: "Do you know there is a huge rock at the exit of the western end of the forbidden Shanxi?"
Seeing everyone nodding, Dong Polu continued, "Do you know what the prince shoulder to shoulder had carved on that huge stone?"
When Dong Zhao heard this, he looked at Qingyan beside him in confusion, with inquiring eyes flashing in his eyes.
"Loyal soul of Tiannan! The prince of the king carved these four words on the huge rock. In my heart, he not only commemorated the tragic battle, but also the most noble remembrance of the dead men in the battle. I believe that when the monkeys in Nanyi saw this huge rock again, they would definitely remember how they were killed in this battle, thrown away their armor, and then rolled back to Nanyi in a pissy way."
Dong Polu's voice came from Xu Yuan, and he could clearly hear everyone's ears.
"Although he is not a child in Lingnan, he has feelings and righteousness. He truly regards the soldiers at the bottom as his brothers and will rush forward whenever he catches the enemy. Do you think he is a man who stands tall and upright!"
"yes!!"
"The prince said it well!"
"We all think that Your Highness is our own people!"
Dong Polu changed his tone and smiled and said, "It is said that we can recognize the Lingnan people who are xenophobic, and he is really capable of relying on his true ability, so I will tell you something."
"Before the war started, this little brat told me that he wanted to marry Nishang away. Although I didn't want to, I still gave him a chance for the sake of the King of Sides. As long as he killed ten generals in the formation, I would agree to be a relative of the King of Sides."
"I believe everyone has heard of what happened next. This brat killed seven enemy generals alone on the first day. Last night, he even cut off the head of the general Du Ming, Nanyi, himself. Not to mention twenty, the heads of fifteen enemy generals are now placed in my commander's tent."
"The tree has been done, and I can't even regret it." Dong Polu held Qingyan and his daughter with both hands and laughed loudly: "So I hereby announce that my daughter Dong Zhao and Princess Nishang will marry Zhao Qingyan, the shoulder-to-side prince! You are all witnesses!"
Such a huge joyful event has mostly shrouded the gloomy trend that has been on the wounded camp for several days. Everyone danced and congratulated loudly.
Qingyan and Dong Zhao didn't know that Dong Polu would agree so quickly. Even if they agreed, they would never have expected to announce it in this way. The two looked at each other's eyes in shock, not knowing how to express their feelings at this moment.
"What? After hearing this king's agreement, you don't even make a fart? If you don't want me, I would rather put my old face down and take back the preface."
Qingyan was not hesitating. Somehow, his blood suddenly surged into his heart. He stepped forward and hugged the future princess side by side, and laughed: "The fool doesn't agree! He can marry such a beautiful girl, but the ancestral grave is filled with smoke!"
"Can you speak? If you can't speak, just say less!" Dong Zhao was surrounded by Qingyan in front of everyone, blushing and ripe apples, and they were indifferent.
---------------------------(I'm a dividing line)
Ten days later, Zhennan Pass.
After several days of continuous drizzle, the crimson red on the ground outside the pass was washed away, and the bodies of the soldiers who died in the border army had been dealt with. After a arduous and bloody battle, the siege of Zhennan Pass was settled.
Qingyan stood on the wall and looked at the earth again, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
"In this battle, nearly 80,000 enemies were killed. General Nanyi was killed. It can be regarded as the biggest victory since his father took charge of Lingnan. However, our army also suffered more than 40,000 casualties. Alas... it was a miserable victory." Dong Jian shook his head and sighed while holding the wall.
"But after this battle, Nanyi has been seriously injured. He will definitely not be able to recover in less than twenty years. During this period, the prince can rest assured." Qing Yan comforted.
"That's true, but then again, if you hadn't been to this battle, Zhennan Pass might have changed hands now."
"Your words are all assumptions. Now everything has passed. The credit belongs to everyone. No one can defend Zhennan Pass without it."
When Dong Polu heard this, he suddenly remembered what he said to the old lady when he went to the royal palace side by side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Why are you silly boy giggling?"
"I thought I would never meet the queen side by side again before I met you, but after a while, you and I have become good brothers."
Qingyan felt a chill and said disgustedly: "I understand what this means, why is it so disgusting to say from you?"
"Hehe... I think I'm disgusting, then I'll make you disgusted enough on the way to Jinling?"
"What? You don't go to Beijing with the prince?"
"There is nothing to do in this Zhennan Pass. Of course, I will go to Beijing with you and Dong Zhao first. I will tell you in advance. This is the order of the father, and you are not allowed to leave me."
