Zhuang Li ate roasted rabbit soup like this for two consecutive days and drank for two days straight. Every day, she ate until her stomach swelled and drank until she could no longer drink. After being nurtured for the past two days, it had truly caused Zhuang Li's complexion to become exceptionally good, and her spirit had also improved quite a bit. She actually felt that she was no longer afraid of the cold, and had even walked around in the carriage twice, blowing on the dry breeze that was unique to the place next door. It was all sweet to the smell, or perhaps, as she stood on the carriage and looked at Wang Su's tent from afar, she already felt warm in her heart.
Probably Wang Su still thought that she was sleeping peacefully in the distant capital.
She couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth as she imagined how that person would look if he saw her as if he had seen a ghost …
If it had not been for the war, it would have been even more pleasing to see the landscape now formed by the armies of both countries. The place along the river had never been so lively before …
Even Zhuang Li could feel the especially obvious atmosphere. It was so dry that it was compressed in the air, causing him to unconsciously become nervous.
"Esteemed wangfei, the war is at hand. I plan to send you to a nearby village. It would be better to eat and live there, and it would also be safer. The Moon River has become our frontline …"
Zhuang Li was naturally unwilling. Since Wang Su was already here, why should she leave, it was naturally because he did not agree. The head soldier was also as determined as if he had eaten a load, and would not let Zhuang Li stay no matter what.
He had brought Zhuang Li all the way for the sake of the General Li, and to fulfill Zhuang Li's sincerity towards the Emperor. But, a great battle was approaching, and once the two sides started fighting, they still did not know what the Crescent Moon Lake would look like. No matter how Zhuang Li thought about it, it was not worth it to give up her life in the end …
The other party had the advantage of numbers, so it was possible that they could even carry Zhuang Li and her horse carriage to a nearby village. She only had Qing You, a young servant girl, by her side, how could she possibly win against him?
In the end, Zhuang Li could only compromise and move to a nearby village with Qing You.
He was especially kind and smiling, because when the Military Chief sent Zhuang Li over, he especially asked her to take good care of this lady who was not well, and also sent a lot of prey over. As a result, when it came time to eat dinner, Zhuang Li once again ate the fluffy chicken soup.
"Miss is from the capital. I believe you are not used to the dry weather here …" She smiled and looked at Zhuang Li as if she was looking at her own child. Extremely mild …
"No, I thought this place was pretty good …" As long as there's meat to eat... She added this sentence silently in her heart.
"Hehe, this place is already much better. Because by leaning on the Moon River, the land is fertile, so it is indeed a good place to settle down. "However, these two years have been much better …"
Zhuang Li only cared about taking big gulps of her own meat, her mouth was filled with food, her speech also became low and muffled, many times she did not even care to accompany the old granny to chat. Fortunately, Qing You was here, so Qing You began to ask all kinds of questions like a curious baby.
"Why are you the only one living here, Grandma?" Do you have any other family members? "
I once had a daughter. Later on, this place was full of gangsters, so I took her away … To tell the truth, I don't even know if she's still alive... My wife died a long time ago, so now only I am an old woman … "When the sergeant major said he wanted to find a place for you to stay, the village chief immediately said he would arrange it for me.
Zhuang Li raised her head from her wild eating and muttered:
"Elder, I have troubled you …" When she spoke, the words in her mouth caused her to be unable to speak properly, but she still managed to express her meaning clearly with great difficulty …
"Where's the trouble? You guys came here, I'm happy. It's like my kid is back …" Accompanying this old woman whose body was half buried in the ground …
When she was taken away by the West Cold people, she was very young, only a few years old. I have always believed that she is still alive in this world. As long as she can stay alive, I will be happy …
A few years ago, the border area was too chaotic. The residents here were suffering unspeakably. Stealing some of their finances was a small matter. What they feared the most was losing their loved ones … Many of the old neighbors couldn't take it anymore and moved to the Central Plains one after another. Although they didn't know anyone there, they still weren't from the same hometown. No matter if it was food, clothing or living accommodations, they were all unaccustomed to them. But there was no other way … It's better than living in your hometown with your head on your belt... All day long, he had to warn her to be more cautious …
At that time, my old neighbor asked me if I should go with them. I didn't want to …
They say you're a loner, why are you here alone? I said I could wait for my daughter. What if she doesn't find me?
They all laughed. They said your daughter was so young when she was taken, how could she remember to come back?
"I know they're right, but I can't accept it …"
As the old granny grew older, she talked more like she was talking to herself, and she could not stop at all. Qing You looked at her with eyes filled with tears.
Zhuang Li could only sigh and continue eating her chicken leg. There were already too many unlucky people in this world, but they still persisted and fought against fate. Only when she died would she know if she had won or not …
The old woman continued.
"But it was better after that, when the Great Phoenix attacked the West Cold, it allowed the borders to be completely settled. Many of the old neighbors who left in the past have now moved back … "Girl, why did you come here with the army?"
That old granny was just talking to herself in the beginning, so Zhuang Li had already changed to talking about her own chicken as she listened. She didn't expect her to suddenly ask him a question …
"My husband is in the army, I want to accompany him …"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you must really love him …"
Zhuang Li chewed the food in her mouth, but she still managed to squeeze out a few words.
"He also loves me a lot …"
Although she hadn't seen him for a long time and hadn't heard him say a word of consolation … But she still believed in him. She believed in him. She believed in him. She believed in him …
That's why he was willing to follow them even though he didn't care about anything else …
Even though he had endured too many bumps along the way, the man didn't even know he was so close to him …
But he was willing … If he stayed in the capital, his days would be even more difficult …
She wanted to accompany him on the road of West Cold that they had walked together many years ago. It seemed that only then would the two of them be considered complete …
The second day after Zhuang Li moved to the old granny's house, a war between the West Cold and the Great Phoenix started. Since Zhuang Li couldn't go to the front lines, she could only ask the village chief for more information.
This battle was extremely stalemate. It was obvious that the battle strength of West Cold was much stronger than that of the previous war, but in the end, it still could not be compared to the Great Phoenix …
"Miss, don't worry. Great Phoenix will definitely win …" Your husband will come here to pick you up … "
Zhuang Li could only sigh and mutter.
"He must come and pick me up …" She had asked the sergeant major to send a letter to the emperor after the war, informing him of his existence. She urgently wanted to resolve the misunderstanding between the two of them …
In fact, it was more likely that the two of them were just smiling at each other when they met again … All the unpleasantness was thrown to the back of his mind …
It wasn't until the evening that the news came back … When the village chief came running over, he was extremely anxious … Behind him were a few other soldiers. Zhuang Li recognized that they were the soldiers under the Chief Officer.
"Occurs... "What happened …" A bad premonition began to spread within her heart, and for a moment, it made her feel especially afraid …
"The troops of West Cold are being forced back bit by bit, while the emperor is leading the frontliners to pursue and attack them. But suddenly, an army is forced in diagonally, cutting off the emperor's path of retreat … Therefore, right now, the emperor had already been captured by the West Cold camp …
"An army that suddenly appeared?" Zhuang Li was originally still puzzled, but when she heard an answer that made her even more shocked …
"Yes …" is someone from the Prince Bi. "
This answer made Zhuang Li feel like she was struck by lightning as she powerlessly sat back in her chair. She could guess any answer, but she had never thought that the Prince Bi would join hands with Xi Cuo.
The brotherly love had been broken. Now, all that was left was probably hatred and revenge …
Prince Bi had already been away from the capital for a long time, and no longer bothered with the matters of the capital and imperial court. Perhaps it was because the fall of Lord Yin Tai had provoked him, or perhaps it was because under Liu Yiyi's instigation, his mother really did something too extreme, and caused the Prince Bi to have no choice but to take action … Or perhaps he had been wrong from the start and no one would forget to hate him … The longer it took, the more vicious it would become …
This kind of defeat and powerlessness made Zhuang Li feel dizzy, her stomach turned over, and she couldn't help but vomit … …
[It seems that I won't be able to recover now …]
"Take me back …" "Back to camp …"
Although Zhuang Li did not know what was the use of going back, she was just a lowly concubine, and no one in the Great Phoenix Army would listen to her orders, she still wanted to go back. She wanted an answer, wanted a result …
The carriage had sent Zhuang Li to the front of the tent previously, but now that they had lost the emperor's army, they were as miserable as a drowning dog. There were only a few generals left in the tent, and when they saw Zhuang Li, they were especially astonished.
"What conditions did the West Cold raise?"
