Dawn of the Empire

Chapter 324 Returning to Xianyang with full rank (9)

His headache felt like it was going to split open, his mouth was very dry, his tongue was astringent and bitter, he opened his eyes, and the double image in front of him was hazy.The figure approached, with a faint fragrance, which made people feel comfortable.This is a familiar smell.A smile hung on the corner of Zhao Xingde's mouth, trying to focus his pupils, the blurry figure became clearer and clearer, and Li Ruoxue's face appeared in front of his eyes.

"you're awake!"

"Am I dreaming?" Zhao Xingde felt dizzy for a while, and opened his eyes wide, greedily admiring the surprise and surprise expressions of the people in front of him.Feeling a cold and slippery palm, it was Li Ruoxue who held his hand and pressed it against her cheek.

She was a little choked up, and wept with joy: "Oh my God, you finally woke up!"

Zhao Xingde's voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a low voice: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings." Seeing that Li Ruoxue was still sobbing, he said with a smile: "My lady, don't cry, raise your head, and let your husband take a closer look." She wanted to reach out but caressed his wife's shoulder, but all her strength seemed to be taken away. She only moved a little, but before she could raise her arm, Li Ruoxue exclaimed, covered her face with her hands, and said shamefully: " Haven't dressed for days."

Her eyes were bloodshot, her lips were pale, during Zhao Xingde's coma, she stood by her side in undressed clothes, two whole days and one night passed.This woman is born to love beauty, and she doesn't want her husband to see her messy appearance when she wakes up.But Zhao Xingde just woke up, and left him even more reluctantly, he was hesitant in his heart, and the tears of joy stopped.

Four eyes met, Li Ruoxue's eye circles were red and swollen like walnuts.Zhao Xingde pushed himself up vigorously, Li Ruoxue quickly supported him.Her pretty face was like pear blossoms with rain, and she became more and more pitiful.Zhao Xingde's heart became hot, and she sucked the tears hanging on her cheeks, Li Ruoxue exclaimed "ah", her cheeks were slightly red, but her hands did not dare to put him down, she glanced at him, her eyes flowed, which made people feel uncomfortable The mind is distracted.Feeling that there seemed to be a heat flowing up and down in the body, Zhao Xingde's somewhat numb body regained consciousness, and said with a smile: "After lying down for a long time, Madam helped me up and walked around."

He looked at the surrounding environment, the walls and floors were paved with wooden boards, and there was a sea smell in the air, as if he was in the cabin, his body was heavy after the injury, and he walked to the window step by step while supporting Li Ruoxue's delicate body.The window panels are carved with complicated patterns, covering the windows tightly.The window is drop-down, and the planks are thick and heavy.Li Ruoxue supported Zhao Xingde with one hand, and pushed the window with the other hand, but there was no push.

Zhao Xingde smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Let me do it." He signaled Li Ruoxue to let go of himself, grabbed the lower edge of the window with both hands, and lifted his strength upwards, only to hear a "crash", and a fresh sea breeze rushed to his face Come, the water-colored sky is everywhere, the blue sea water extends to the horizon, and a few white seagulls are chasing the waves raised by the sea boat, flickering their wings.

The originally dark cabin suddenly became brighter. Zhao Xingde supported the window sill with one hand and his slender waist with the other. He took a deep breath of fresh air and felt much refreshed.Li Ruoxue looked up at him, feeling extremely sweet in her heart.Zhao Xingde fell into a coma these days, feeding water and feeding, cleaning his face and body were all done by her.A heart is always worried, and now I can finally let go.She was in a daze when she suddenly felt a chill on her forehead, it turned out that Zhao Xingde kissed it lightly there.

Li Ruoxue raised his head, but before he had time to express his dissatisfaction, Zhao Xingde looked at this familiar and beautiful face, then lowered his head again, his lips slipped from his forehead to the tip of his nose, and finally fell heavily on the delicate cherry lips.The heart that had just woken up suddenly accelerated, and a kiss that was almost suffocating, enjoying the tender taste wantonly.Both of them were so intoxicated that they almost forgot where they were, and they seemed to be in the clouds, only the slight sea breeze was blowing the couple who had been reunited after a long absence.

While he was intoxicated, he suddenly heard a "bang", the doors and windows of this seagoing ship were closed extremely tightly because of the need to prevent turbulence and waterproofing, and the sound of opening the door was loud, Zhao Xingde turned his head to look, but Li Sihai had a strange expression Standing quietly at the door, seeing Zhao Xingde looking over, he hurriedly said: "I really knocked on the door, you didn't hear it." He paused, then added: "I didn't see anything," paused, and said again , "You guys continue." Gently closed the cabin door like a thief and retreated.

Li Ruoxue blushed from her cheeks to her neck, buried her head on Zhao Xingde's chest, ashamed to see others.Zhao Xingde wanted to be intimate again, but she refused to say anything.Zhao Xingde's stomach suddenly groaned, and Li Ruoxue said softly: "My husband has been lying down for so long, my stomach is already empty, I'm here to find some porridge." She helped Zhao Xingde onto the bed and continued to lie down , and then left.

Li Sihai originally wanted to visit Zhao Xingde's condition, but he unexpectedly ran into such a scene.He laughed at himself and shook his head, thinking of Han Ningshuang's unhappy expression these past few days, he couldn't help but sigh again.When Han Ningshuang lived in Chang'an, Dunhuang, Li Sihai also knew her.A group of princes and princes surrounded Han Ningshuang, and she had never seen anyone favored by her, let alone her showing such concern.

This ship was full of family members of the eighth battalion sergeants.The news of Xiaowei Zhao waking up spread quickly.Everyone was saying that Xiaowei Zhao woke up and drank a big bowl of minced meat and vegetable porridge, and he was in good spirits, and he seemed to be getting better.Mrs. Zhao took her two children to see Father.Such a family reunion made more wives of sergeants look forward to meeting their husbands soon.And Mrs. Zhao's smile like a flower was regarded as an extra benefit by the sailors of the fourth battalion, and more people looked forward to landing as soon as possible.

When Han Ningshuang heard the news, she felt a little excited, and even more bitter.In the past two days, she never stepped into that person's cabin, she just wanted to forget about it, but when Zhao Xingde woke up, she couldn't control her heart anymore.Does he know that he has done so many things for him?After all, he was born and died, even if he is a subordinate of the Han army, he should visit him.Just take a look.With incomparably complicated emotions, Han Ningshuang kept persuading herself, she simply washed up and walked slowly.

The cabin where Zhao Xingde lives is on the other side of the ship's side, she just turned around a corner of the cabin, but she suddenly stepped back, Zhao Xingde was wearing a green folded cloth robe, and walked towards this side slowly.Han Ningshuang covered her chest with one hand, feeling her heart beating violently: "Did he come to see me and thank me?" Han Ningshuang frowned: "He just woke up, his body is weak, why did he come out to 'chaos' Go?" With that in mind, she quickly walked back to her cabin, leaning her back against the cabin door, her mind blank for a while. "He already has a wife. He came to see me, and I shouldn't see him. I can't see him." She panted slightly. This was a cruel battle. I know whether I can defend myself or not.

Across the thick hatch, Zhao Xingde's footsteps were from far to near, slightly and vainly. When he stopped at the door, Han Ningshuang's heart was also suspended, with some anticipation and some fear.However, there was no knock on the door, and the footsteps continued to move forward. After walking for a while, a thick voice of "Lieutenant Li, Zhao De is visiting" came from outside.The cabins on the deck are limited and can only be used by officers.Han Ningshuang lives in the expensive guest room, while Zhao Xingde now lives in the sick room.Li Sihai's cabin happened to be next to Han Ningshuang's, obviously Zhao Xingde asked the location and counted the cabins all the way here.Han Ningshuang breathed a sigh of relief, a little relieved and a little lost.

After hearing Li Sihai yell "Lieutenant Zhao, please come in", Zhao Xingde pushed open the hatch.Li Sihai was studying, stood up and smiled and said, "Lieutenant Zhao is just recovering from a serious injury, if you need anything, just say hello, and Li will come over."

Zhao Xingde clasped his hands and said, "Thank you Brother Li for your help."

Li Sihai shook his head and said: "Chengying has the righteousness of robes, Captain Zhao, don't be so ignorant." He put down the scroll in his hand, and wrote "The Tale of Genji" on it, Zhao Xingde couldn't help being slightly surprised, and noticed that his eyes were different, Li Sihai Sihai explained: "This is the script of Dongying. The singer who bought Linjiang Tower recently brought such a book. It's a bit interesting, but it's a pity that this book is not written in Chinese characters." He suddenly became interested and asked with a smile : "Captain Zhao, do you know why this is?"

Zhao Xingde was a little confused, and hesitated: "Should Chinese characters be used?" "Of course," Li Sihai said with a slight smile, "Dongpu respects Sinology most, and Chinese characters can only be written by men. The author is indeed a woman, so I can only use false characters to write the book." He opened the pages of the book and showed it to Zhao Xingde, and sure enough, it was full of false names, without a single Chinese character, and it was indeed a book written by a woman.

Zhao Xingde wondered: "Brother Li knows?" Li Sihai nodded, and wrote lightly: "What's so difficult about it? I think that singer can read, and after asking, I found out that it is the posthumous work of her late mother." He pointed Tapping the scroll lightly, he said with a smile, "It's kind of interesting, it's okay to have fun in your spare time." Seeing that Zhao Xingde was not interested in "what's the point?", he changed the subject and said: "Brother Zhao, come here, I have something to do." Do you want to inquire?" At this moment Mrs. Zhao Xingde was not around, so there was a little more smile in his eyes.

Zhao Xingde shook his head and asked back: "Brother Li came over in the morning, but what's the matter?"
