Chapter 8 The prince is separated, my dear brother
The prince was obviously different in the hearts of people in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Xiangying found that after everyone heard that something was going to happen to the prince, they looked as if they were in trouble too, showing sad and desperate expressions.
I don't know who went to the front to inquire and came back, shaking his head, sighing, and talking to the people around him.
Xiangying also understood the whole story.
Prince Xiangli insisted on leading troops to resist the enemy after the Western Zhou emperor abandoned the city and fled.
Unexpectedly, when the Emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty left, he actually damaged the city gate in order to take away a large number of city guards and good horses.
The enemy troops broke into the palace without wasting much strength, and the prince was captured after being seriously injured.
The generals of the Western Zhou Dynasty who risked their lives to resist, together with the prince, were escorted by heavy troops from South Vietnam.
But it seems that the prince is dying and cannot get treatment.
The generals' desire to protect their master was extremely strong, and the crowd was so excited that they wanted to rise up and resist several times.
The deputy general in charge of the exile team thought it was unsafe to continue like this, so he sent the dying prince to Xiang Ying, a weak team composed mostly of female relatives.
Knowing the cause and effect, Xiang Ying helped him.
From this point of view, it is normal for the entire Western Zhou royal family to be separated from the prince.
The father was an emperor who was greedy for life and feared death, so he escaped first; the younger sister was still teasing the handsome man when the country was ruined and the family was destroyed.
To the prince, she was simply the shameless and dissolute sister of his father, and he was left with a shaky country in ruins.
It’s hard for him.
The sun was blazing, and about half an hour later, I saw Huang Beard and his men dragging a wooden cart over.
The down-and-out nobles on both sides of the road broke down and cried bitterly when they saw the bloody man lying on them.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" "Prince--!"
The sounds of crying and howling came one after another. When Huang Beard dragged the wooden cart past Xiangying and the others, Xiangying also took a breath of cold air.
This is a bloody man with many scars on his body. The most serious thing is that his knees on both sides have turned into rotten flesh, a bloody mass.
Xiang Li was unconscious, his lips were bloodless, and there was blood dripping down the wooden board on the road.
Taoxue's knees softened and she knelt down directly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
The three children also rushed over, hugging the wooden cart and crying.
"Uncle, woo woo, uncle!"
Xiang Yuanxiao's pale little face was full of hatred. He clenched his fists and said, "Whoever beats my uncle like this, he will die a good death!"
As he said this, the little guy ignored him and pounced on Huang Beard, beating him and preventing him from dragging the wooden cart away.
Huang Beard was in pain: "Damn kid, you..."
Halfway through the scolding, he realized that Xiang Ying was still there, so he could only push Xiang Yuanxiao back angrily.
"While mourning, he is not dead yet, why are you crying!"
Xiang Ying immediately hugged Xiang Yuanxiao, and when she lowered her head, she saw that the little guy was so angry that his nose was bleeding.
She wiped his face and said, "Don't worry, he won't die."
Xiang Yuanxiao was still gritting his teeth angrily, but after hearing Xiang Ying's words, he did not continue to pounce.
Huang Beard was named by the supervisor to be responsible for dragging the prince.
Therefore, he wanted to search for money from the group of exiled nobles under his control.
Yellow Beard collected them one by one and cursed: "Hurry up and hand over whatever else you can. Don't force us to search you again."
"I can't help you drag the deposed prince for nothing. If you don't give me money, I will throw him on the roadside and die!"
Xiang Yuanxiao clenched his fists: "How dare you!"
When Huang Beard passed by Xiangying, he paused. His hand that wanted to collect the money retracted after seeing Xiangying's cold eyes.
When Xiang Qianqian saw it, he was immediately unhappy.
"Captain, where can we give you any money? We searched everything before we set off on the road."
"Sister, the prince brother is like this, why don't you express your feelings? You are willing to sacrifice yourself for food. Now you should take the initiative to take on everyone's responsibilities, appease the captain and help the prince brother."
A woman's chastity is worthless in Xiang Qianqian's mouth.
Xiangying sneered and looked at Huang Beard: "Going to the woods again? Okay."
Huang Beard, on the other hand, thought of her methods and felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
The poison in his body has not been cured yet!
Huang Huzi took three steps at a time, rushed towards Xiang Qianqian, and slapped her in the face.
"Ah——!" Xiang Qianqian fell to the ground, covering her face with an aggrieved look on her face, "Why did you hit me?"
Huang Beard pointed at her and scolded: "I don't have the authority for a bitch like you to talk about what I do. If it weren't for the amount of jewelry I gave you before, I wouldn't be polite to you."
Xiang Qianqian bit her lip, but didn't dare to say anything.
Xiang Ying's faint voice came: "It's almost done. If you don't leave, the supervisor army will come to urge you later, and everyone will lose something." In one sentence, Huang Beard gave up and continued to search for money.
He was filled with resentment and resentment towards Xiangying, but he had no choice but to obey as she held his life in his hands.
"Damn, what a bad luck, let's go!"
Huangbeard cursed and asked the soldiers to drag the wooden cart and set off with the exile team.
The scorching sun was in the sky, scorching the earth.
The hot sun in early summer makes the mouth dry and the tongue is dry.
The mountain road was bumpy, and the prince on the wooden board car must have been even more uncomfortable.
The three children no longer followed Xiangying. Instead, they clung to the edge of the wooden cart and kept calling for uncle in a low voice with tears in their eyes.
Taoxue said: "When the princess was busy before, Her Highness the Crown Prince taught the young Highnesses their homework and knowledge..."
That's why the three children became closer to the prince.
My mother didn't care about the children, but my uncle took the initiative to take responsibility.
Xiangying admired such a loyal and courageous man and decided to save his life.
After walking all morning, Xiangying's expression remained unchanged, but the others were out of breath and turned pale.
They didn't eat, so they naturally had no physical strength.
Fortunately, the supervisor in front ordered them to stop and rest, and the horses wanted to drink water, so the large exiled troops stopped by a stream.
The weather was so hot that the people who had been exiled for a long time couldn't help it and threw themselves into the stream to drink.
The soldiers who dragged the prince were already exhausted, so they put down the wooden cart and went to cool off on their own.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xiangying walked over and poured a lot of water into Xiangli first.
Then she wetted the stream with a handkerchief and wiped Xiangli's cheeks and arms.
The blood quickly stained the veil, so Xiangying washed it in the stream and repeated the actions just now.
She was looking at the wounds on Xiang Li's body.
There were too many stab wounds, some even looked like they were caused by anger, there were countless large and small, there were probably more than a hundred.
He was really lucky to be able to hold on until now. If he didn't care about him anymore, he would really bleed to death.
But the most serious thing was the injury on Xiang Li’s knee.
The clothes covered the wound, almost sticking to the flesh.
If it is not treated, it will completely stick to the body. When the time comes, the skin will be pulled off when the clothes are torn off.
Xiangying didn't hesitate and tore off his clothes with her bare hands.
Xiang Yuanxiao was anxious: "What are you doing!"
Xiangying kept moving his hands and said calmly: "If you don't want his clothes to grow in his flesh, you have to tear them off."
Xiang Yuanxiao was stunned for a moment, then without hesitation, he climbed onto the wooden cart and began to tear his pants with his little hands.
Seeing him tearing apart more and more, Xiangying hurriedly stopped him.
"Save some face for your uncle! Leave the cloth from the crotch to the buttocks, just expose the knees."
This little guy almost took off his clothes!
Xiang Yuanxiao's face was serious: "Oh!"
Xiangying bent down and quickly wiped Xiangli's body with a handkerchief to remove the blood on his body.
After a while, another pair of hands joined her.
The other party wetted Xiang Li's arm with a clean handkerchief.
Xiangying looked up and saw that it was the daughter of the Lin family who had spoken to her before.
She seems to be the second young lady in their family.
The other party didn't say anything, and Xiangying naturally didn't speak either.
The two have a tacit understanding of division of labor and cooperation. Miss Lin Er rubs the upper body, Xiangying specializes in the area below the knees, and Taoxue keeps feeding Xiangli water.
After a while, the exiled nobles took off their robes one after another and brought them over.
"Princess, please put our clothes under the prince, so that he can feel better when the road is bumpy."
Xiangying looked at them: "Okay."
In times of national crisis, he did not abandon the separation of the people and his people, and he indeed won the hearts and minds of the people.
Before going on the road, Xiangying took out the golden sore medicine from the space while no one was paying attention, and sprinkled it all on Xiangli's injured area.
He was given the best medicine in the palace. As long as it doesn't rain, I hope he can survive it.
However, Xiangying still thought too beautifully.
In the afternoon, it started to rain.
