Chapter 146 Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood
Shang Ruyi stood in the middle of the empty courtyard, watching Chu Yang’s back disappear at the door, and even the trace of leisurely cold fragrance left on the tip of her nose was swept away by the night wind. Still couldn't recover for a long time.
What does he mean by this?
Shang Ruyi only felt that her head was buzzing with some chaotic thoughts, which was worse than the shock when the Turkic soldiers attacked the city during the day, until Tusheer walked in from outside and walked to her He came to her side and asked her how she was doing, and then she barely came back to her senses.
“Why are you here?”
Tusheer said softly: "My slave, I'm worried about the young lady."
Shang Ruyi immediately understood and said with a smile: "Are you really worried, what will happen between me and the emperor?"
Picture She'er shook her head hurriedly: "Of course I believe the young lady's actions. People. It’s just that people are scary. His Majesty’s behavior makes this slave a little worried.”
“…”
Shang Ruyi smiled and then extended his hand to her. : "I'm a little cold, help me back to the room."
Tusheer immediately helped her back to the room and sat down. He felt that her fingertips were cold, and immediately poured her hot tea, and then asked: "So, miss, do you really recognize His Majesty?"< br>
Shang Ruyi took a sip of tea and said: "Not only do I recognize it, but you also recognize it. Yes."
"Me?"
Tu Sheer was even more surprised: "How is it possible, I never-"
"He stopped our carriage in the first place. Didn’t you almost scold him?”
"Ah!?"
Tusheer's eyes almost fell out of his sockets, and he said with a look of horror: "Ah? That, that - is His Majesty the Emperor?!"
Shang Ruyi nodded.
Tusheer suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said: "No wonder, no wonder those imperial doctors took arrows for you, miss, and hurt you. When Your Majesty scolded those people for their incompetence, I heard the voice so familiar, It turned out to be that person."
Shang Ruyi said with a smile: "It seems that your eyesight is not good either."
"Who would have imagined this!"
Tu Sheer muttered in a low voice: "I heard that His Majesty is already in his thirties, and his daughter, the Crescent Princess, is only two or three years younger than you, Miss. That's all, who would have thought that he was so young, He looks almost like an uncle."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile bitterly - yes, Chu Yang's face is so deceptive. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been so far ahead. It took a few days to guess his identity.
Tu Sheer said worriedly again: "Miss..."
"What's wrong?"
"The emperor carried you back to the government office in front of everyone. What if my uncle finds out about this?"
"..."
"He, will he? Did you misunderstand Miss? "
It was okay if she didn't say it. Suddenly, Shang Ruyi felt cold when she mentioned Yu Wenye.
Yes, Yu Wenye.
Just a few days ago, she was eagerly hoping that Yu Wenye could arrive in Yanmen County as soon as possible, at least to give her some comfort when she felt hopeless. However, she did not expect that the Turks were calling. She was seriously injured, and Yu Wenye was not even a shadow.
What’s even more ridiculous is that he is accompanying Princess Crescent Moon from behind, and here he is involved with Princess Crescent Moon’s father.
Is there anything more ridiculous than this in this world? !
Shang Ruyi gave a bitter smile, his smile full of tiredness: "Well, I still say the same thing, even if we really want to care about this matter, at least wait until we can survive this difficulty. ”
“That——”
"Go down, I want to rest." Tusheer had no choice but to help her sleep, and then left the room.
|
However, this night, there was not enough peace for them to rest.
Just when everything was silent and almost everyone fell asleep, the Turks launched another massive siege.
Shang Ruyi was awakened by the loud rumbling outside. As soon as she realized what was happening outside, even the beams were about to collapse. Tusheer hurriedly rushed to her room to protect her; and although the courtyard outside was empty, they could still hear the footsteps of many people amidst the noise, and they seemed to be guarding outside the courtyard.
This battle lasted until dawn.
The noise outside gradually subsided, and the tight feeling faded away. Shang Ruyi understood that they had once again defended Yanmen County.
Only this time, the success of defending the city will be much more difficult than before.
It was also much more tragic.
Tu Sheer went out for a trip and told Shang Ruyi when he came back that the wounded soldiers in the city were scattered all over the city. There were not enough military doctors and official doctors, so they could only listen to their wounded and wailing, but no one was there to treat them. Many ordinary people also went to Beicheng. The door helped.
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately put on his clothes and walked out with Tu Sheer.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the courtyard, he was stopped by two heavily armed Guardsmen.
"Young Madam, where are you going?"
Shang Ruyi was startled, but seeing how polite they were, she also said politely: "I heard that in the city There are many wounded soldiers who have no one to treat them, and I want to help.”
The two people looked at each other, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
One of them said: "But, there is danger outside——"
Shang Ruyi said: "Isn't the battle over? There should be no danger for the time being. Besides——"
She looked at them with twinkling eyes: "Your Majesty should just ask you to protect me, not to imprison me, right?"
The two people had nothing to say.
It is true that the emperor sent this team of imperial guards to guard the courtyard where Mrs. Yuwen lived temporarily, and no one was allowed to enter and disturb her, but he did not say that she was not allowed to go out.
The two of them thought about it and said, "Then, we will send someone to follow the young lady."
Shang Ruyi said, "Thank you."
So, she He took Tushe'er and several guards out of the mansion.
As soon as I went out, I realized what kind of hell the outside had become - the bloody scenes hidden by the high-walled houses were completely displayed in front of Shang Ruyi.
On the street, countless people came and went.
But these people are not wandering around, but dragging corpses one after another back from the city gate. In the distance, the corpses of dead soldiers have piled up like mountains, and there are countless more The wails and cries resounded throughout the sky.
But what is more in front of me is the pain of the living people.
The wounded soldiers who retreated from the front have crowded the streets and alleys. Some of them have even collapsed on the roadside without care. The blood stains on the road are getting heavier and heavier. The smell of blood makes it almost impossible to breathe. Official doctors and military doctors were busy everywhere with some people from the city who came to help, but they still couldn't take care of them.
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said to Tusheer: "Let's go help."
"Okay!"
Tusher didn't show any pretense and immediately went up to get some medicine. While helping the wounded soldiers bandage their wounds, he headed towards the gate of the north city. The further he walked, the more injured the wounded soldiers became. The heavier, the stronger the smell of blood.
Finally, they finally came to the city gate.
As soon as he approached, Shang Ruyi was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
