Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 183

Li Denglong, the guard of Ducheng, was the cousin of the unlucky Ran Mindao who died at the foot of Biye Mountain. He assumed an uncompromising posture and wanted to avenge his cousin.

Those green seedlings were cut off before they were fully ripe, and even the roots and ears were picked up from the ground. Under the bright autumn sun, within a hundred miles, there was no human habitation, no water source, and even all the fruit trees were chopped down. Yes, all the fruits were picked, too many to take away, and all were crushed in the mud.

The land that used to be the most prosperous and rich in autumn has become the most barren and silent wasteland here.

"Within a hundred miles, all the wells are blocked, and all the rivers are full of dead pigs," Qin Changge licked his chapped and pouty lips, and stared resentfully at the sky that had been particularly clear in recent days, and then looked at Looking at the restless patrolling soldiers, he frowned and said, "I have attacked twice, but failed to capture. Now there are 80 people without water, which is really a bad thing."

Xiao Jue looked at her with pity, and said softly: "You haven't drank water all day... Are you thirsty?"

With a somewhat gratified expression, he carefully pulled out a pear from his sleeve pocket as if by magic, and said with a proud smile, "I kept it specially, and I'm not willing to eat it. This is the best to quench my thirst."

Qin Changge's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Where did it come from?"

"It was sent by Yu Zixi, the last pear on a pear tree in a certain village that was too tall to be picked in time." Xiao Jue carefully wiped it off with his golden dragon brocade sleeve, and handed it to Chang Qin. song lips.

Qin Changge took it, thought for a while, and handed it to Chu Feihuan who was silently reading the military newspaper.

Chu Feihuan immediately shook his head and refused, and turned the wheelchair without saying a word and was about to leave. Qin Changge grabbed him and said, "Feihuan, when you were going to fight, you promised me that you would take good care of yourself, your body No better than before, no better than us, you can't stop eating."

Xiao Jue looked at Qin Changge's puffy lips with distress, but he was also persuading: "Mr. Chu, you eat, we will be better after all..."

He knew that Chu Feihuan was arrogant and he didn't want to mention some words, so Chu Feihuan stopped and didn't look back, but said flatly: "I don't need it."

He spoke so decisively that Xiao Jue could only smile wryly. Qin Changge looked at the pear in his hand, then handed it back to Xiao Jue, and said, "Your voice is already hoarse, what else do you want me to do? You talk more than me , I have more things to do than me, and I have to visit the camp later to cheer up the soldiers, how can I be dumb?"

Xiao Jue took a step back immediately, cleared his throat hard, and said with a smile, "Who said I have a hoarse voice? I'm obviously very angry."

Although he tried his best to make his voice clearer, he still heard the slightest sound, probably his throat was congested with blood.

Qin Changge was silent, seeing that the round, plump pear exuding a fruity fragrance could not be sent out, showing a wry smile, and murmured: "Is this a pear or a bomb?"

After taking a small knife, Qin Changge simply split the pear into three and handed it to the two, not wanting Xiao Jue to refuse again: "No, I won't eat it."

"What are you doing?" Qin Changge raised his eyebrows, a little annoyed, Xiao Jue looked a little weird, and after hesitating for a while, he said slowly: "Dividing pears, separating, I think it's unlucky... Let's forget it."

Startled, Qin Changge went to look at Chu Feihuan again. The latter's long eyelashes drooped and he didn't make eye contact with her, but he obviously didn't want to.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Changge murmured: "It would be great if Rong'er was here, then it is logical that it belongs to him, and we don't have to push back and forth..."

Baozi had already returned to the capital when Xiao Jue made his oath. A country cannot be without a king for a day. The prince is also a king.

Naturally, Xiao Jue had arranged for civil and military officials to worry about state affairs early on, and Xiao Jianguo only needed to sit in the imperial study every day.

Now that there is no "God of Eater" steamed stuffed bun, on a foreign battlefield far away from the country, an ordinary pear has stumped Qin Changge, who has always been light-hearted.

In the end, Qin Changge smiled helplessly, and simply found a bowl and a small wooden pestle for pounding juice, mashed the precious pear into juice, carefully divided it into three parts, and said: "Hey, it's not pears now, it's pears now." Juice, if you don’t drink it, I will be angry.”

Xiao Jue took the share that was assigned to him, and carefully compared it with the share of Qin Changge's singers. Qin Changge couldn't help laughing, and said, "What are you looking at, I'll give you a lot."

"I wish you would give me less." Xiao Jue smiled slowly, Qin Changge was stunned, understood what he meant, couldn't help feeling a little hot in his heart, and in a blink of an eye saw Chu Feihuan trying to get rid of that poor The pear juice was put into the corner of the tent, and he immediately drank it: "If any of you want to drink it, I will pour this pear juice immediately, everyone, don't drink it down!"

Xiao Jue immediately drank the pear juice like drinking wine, pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "Drink, why don't you drink it, don't look at me, I won't give it to you."

Chu Feihuan paused for a moment with his hand, then slowly retracted it, lowered his head, and drank the pear juice in one gulp.

Qin Changge stared intently at the clear liquid flowing at the bottom of the bowl, it was really very little, just a sip, and those two people, one born as an emperor and one born as a prince, enjoyed all the honor and wealth in the world, and had seen countless precious things , at this moment, he pushes this ordinary fruit juice away as if it is some kind of precious treasure of life and death, human flesh and bones. In fact, if you don't personally touch the cold face of suffering, you can't really feel the warmth of intimate silence at that moment.

After finishing the pear juice, Xiao Jue put down the bowl, Qin Changge clapped his hands, Chu Feihuan raised his head, Xiao Jue and Qin Changge said at the same time: "We must capture Ducheng tonight!"

Although Chu Feihuan didn't speak, his eyes showed this meaning.

"I can't go on thirsty like this anymore. You must know that the hunger strike can last for seven days, and the water deprivation can only last for three days. Li Denglong can't shrink back and refuses to fight. Ducheng has enough troops and can't attack the city for a while. He desperately filled the gap with his life. It's just to delay time, and wait for the Xiliang army to retreat due to hunger and thirst." Xiao Jue stared at the gray and blue city wall of Ducheng, which was thickened by the peasants, with a dignified expression.

Chu Feihuan also raised his head and glanced at Du Cheng. When he met Qin Changge's gaze, he frowned. Before he could speak, Qin Changge said, "I have a way."

She clapped her hands, "Ducheng is an important city in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there are subordinates lurking in the Phoenix League, but they have not been mixed into the real power class. I went to contact and make something. If we cooperate internally and externally, we can break it in one day."

"No." Xiao Jue and Chu Feihuan objected together, Qin Changge said with a smile: "Don't say it so simply, Feihuan, you have been looking at the topographic map just now, where did your eyes fall? Xiao Jue, earlier you Shen Shao was summoned, what task was assigned? Could it be just digging a tunnel?"

"That's for me too, so I don't need you to go," Xiao Jue didn't deny it, "Mr. Chu probably noticed that there is a small forest in the southeast corner of the city wall of Ducheng, because it seems to be far away from the city after a few places. In fact, the straight-line distance is not long. I have already arranged for Shen Shao to send troops to dig tunnels. It is not easy to dig a tunnel several miles long with 80 people. But the people who go there are extremely dangerous. Changge, we men are still here You go to take risks, it won’t work, absolutely not.”

"Well, then you go." Qin Changge's answer made Xiao Jue's eyes widen, and he was very surprised why this woman was so talkative this time?But she heard her say leisurely: "It's just, Your Majesty, Fei Huan, do you two feel a little sleepy?"

"Ah...you put it in the pear juice...you woman..." These were Xiao Jue's last words before he fell into a coma.

Chu Feihuan supported his head with his hands, raised his eyes, touched Qin Changge, and then sighed softly, feeling helpless in the sigh.

Qin Changge watched the two of them close their eyes, stood in the middle of the tent with a leisurely smile, and said lightly, "Didn't expect it? Didn't expect me to be so heartless? I can count you at such a tender and emotional moment, but I didn't Sorry, Ah Jue, Fei Huan, why did we know each other so well..."

She gently put the two of them back together, covered each of them with a quilt considerately, patted Xiao Jue's face, and said, "My dear Jue, you've been tired enough recently, take a good sleep and wait for me to come back."

Tucking the quilt for Fei Huan, Qin Changge was silent for a while, and said softly, "Fei Huan, I know what you're thinking...Anyway, trust me, it's fine."

Dressed in tights and packed with all kinds of weapons and equipment ready to be used, Qin Changge walked briskly out of the emperor's tent, following the code all the way, and left the camp unhurriedly for the grove.

Not far away, under a poplar tree, a graceful man suddenly turned around, leaning on the tree, holding a grass root in his mouth, his eyes were flowing like a smile, and he squinted at Qin Changge watery, and greeted: "Morning, General Zhao."

"It's getting late," Qin Changge smiled sincerely, and answered honestly, "It's almost dusk. Is the prince here to enjoy the magnificent sunset in the suburbs of Ducheng?"

"I'm here to admire a little thief who is about to do bad things," Yu Zixi smiled happily, "Let's see if his posture is graceful when he climbs the cave."

"Whether the posture of climbing the cave is beautiful or not," Qin Changge said solemnly, "I think no one can compare to you, Lord Jing'an. When Mo Yan thinks of the prince climbing the cave in front of me, his figure is swaying, and the faint fragrance is slightly scattered, so as to surpass the city of Yingdu." The incomparably seductive posture of Qingyin, the number one red lady in Zuichun Residence of the Number One Elephant Aunt, and the peerless style that can be honored as the leader of the Chrysanthemum Sect, Mo Yan feasts his eyes upon Mo Yan, and Mo Yan's blood boils, and he can't help himself with joy. ..."

Yu Zixi blinked, then burst out laughing, and said: "Okay, okay, you guessed that I want to be with you, and it's interesting to talk to smart people, but what is the chrysanthemum religion?"

"This question is very complicated. It involves plagiarizing fashionable and passionate factors such as shemale's unrequited love, tragic, narcissistic, beautiful boy, delicate little Daisy, etc. If I wait for the official to explain it to you, I'm afraid the sun will come out tomorrow morning." Qin Changge smiled. , "Let's go to the cave first."
