The First Daughter Reborn: The Snake Queen is not easy to mess with

Chapter 261 Desolate City
The soldiers of Lan State put down their weapons and surrendered, and the scene was controlled by the Mu army.

Northern Xinjiang suffered heavy losses, tens of thousands of soldiers and only a few hundred people left, Li Xiaochuan looked at all this, his heart ached, and most of the rest were wounded, his eyes were full of guilt.

A soldier was lying on the ground crying, there was a long gash in his chest, and the doctors who came after him were treating each one with medicine stones, the screams were very piercing.

The soldier lay powerlessly on one side, Li Xiaochuan went over to check his wound, his expression was very serious, Yan asked him how he was feeling, the soldier saw Li Xiaochuan, said in a weak voice:

"I'm fine, General, I can hold on."

His voice was as soft as a gossamer, Yan got close to his mouth to realize that he brought the words to Li Xiaochuan, his brows frowned into a word Chuan, Yan understood that he was guilty and didn't protect them well.

Li Xiaochuan comforted him softly, and then he left with Yan. He asked, "What should we do with those Lan troops who surrendered?" .”

The general was slightly disappointed when he heard that he mentioned his wife, so they went to see Meng Yizhen first. At that time, she had already fallen asleep, but she still couldn't sleep well. She closed her eyes for a while, and woke up when she heard Li Xiaochuan talking outside. come over.

The soldier fell asleep just after he finished speaking, it's best not to disturb her, she needs to rest very much, when Meng Yizhen's voice came from inside, asking the general to come in.

Li Xiaochuan walked in, seeing her tired, he said distressedly: "I can come later, you sleep for a while." She shook her head, looked into his eyes, full of tenderness.

He hugged her into his arms, and they hugged each other tightly. At this time, Meng Yizhen's tears flowed down, and his voice was choked with sobs: "I'm really afraid that you will never wake up, and I'm even more afraid that I will never wake up again." No chance to see you."

Li Xiaochuan stroked her hair and said: "How could I have been sleeping all the time? You see, I only slept for a few days, and such a big thing happened. If it wasn't for you, the whole northern Xinjiang would have been destroyed. You have contributed the most."

She leaned on his shoulder and shook her head: "No, it's not me, it's Yan, he took you away from the persecution of the Lilan army, it's the soldiers, they blocked round after round of attacks, and Lianyi, it's her saved you."

Li Xiaochuan had just heard Yan tell the whole story, the expressions on their faces were full of grief and indignation, so many people died, it was really tragic, if the general was not seriously injured, none of them would dare to be so arrogant.

Li Xiaochuan said indignantly: "I swear that one day sooner or later, I will return to the capital to take back everything from them, and let Qi Sheng be buried with these bloody soldiers."

Meng Yi is really in the same mood as him, but there are only a few of them now, how can they be the opponents of the Jingdu army now, although they have suffered a lot of casualties, but it is the credit of the Mu country.

The spoils of the captives will be taken away by the Mu Kingdom as a reward for their long-distance travel, but Li Xiaochuan has a question in his mind, he asked: "Why did the Mu Kingdom army come, and we have been at odds with them?"

At the very beginning, Meng Yizhen guessed that the general would definitely ask this question. Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes, her eyes flickered, and said calmly: "I was ordered in danger, and wanted to make perfect preparations, so I tried to send an envoy to ask They sent troops, but I didn't expect them to come, they must have sent troops for your sake."

Li Xiaochuan didn't believe it: "Our Northern Xinjiang has always been at odds with them, and there are even many conflicts. How could they send troops to reinforce me in my name? Are you hiding something from me?"

Meng Yizhen smiled after hearing this, and said in a soft tone: "There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. They have gained so many prisoners along the way, no matter what, it is not a loss, and we still owe them one." Great favor."

Li Xiaochuan was a little displeased when he heard that, but Meng Yizhen's situation at that time, there was no way out, no wonder he just blamed himself for being injured at that time, leaving her with an impossible task.

So he didn't ask any more questions, but just held her in his arms.

"Yan said that you have left Northern Xinjiang, why are you so stupid, what are you doing when you come back, in case Mu Jun didn't just arrive at that time, then you..." She said angrily.

"But it is because I rushed back that you are in my arms now. Besides, you know that I would never abandon you and leave alone. Without you, I would not live alone."

"Beijiang can live without Meng Yizhen, but absolutely can't live without you, Li Xiaochuan. I don't want anything to happen to you. Promise me, next time you listen to Yan, don't do anything that worries me." Meng Yizhen looked at Li Xiaochuan seriously and warned. .

"I promise you, but you have to promise me too. From now on, let me protect you. You don't want to be a coach anymore. Standing in front of soldiers is my business. You just need to stand obediently behind me. " Li Xiaochuan turned Meng Yizhen's cheek to look at him, and said with a serious expression.

Meng Yizhen nodded and buried him in his arms again.

The two of you and me, Li Xiaochuan's sincere guilt towards Meng Yi also made her understand how much pressure she put on him. From now on, she really only needs to stay behind him with peace of mind. Everything is done.

Seeing that she was silent, Li Xiaochuan asked softly: "Okay, let's go to bed first, let's talk tonight." He patted Meng Yizhen, moved his shoulder away, and found that she had fallen into a deep sleep.

He couldn't help laughing, put her away, and then quietly exited the door.The general's mansion was in a mess, and the servants who fled rushed back one after another. They all greeted the general when they saw him.

He stopped one and asked, "Where have you been hiding these two days?"

"Reporting to the general, Madam quietly sent us and many other people out of the city the day before yesterday, and let us hide in the forest on the outskirts of the city for two days. We didn't go home until we heard that Lan's army had been defeated." A servant replied.

Li Xiaochuan nodded and let him go to work, Meng Yizhen not only helped him keep the general's mansion and the city, but also the most important people in the city, she thought much more thoughtful than herself.

Behind him, Yan rushed up and said to him: "General, I have ordered someone to repair the General's Mansion, it may take some time to restore it to its original state, but..." He hesitated to speak.

"It's just something, tell me, I can accept anything." Li Xiaochuan had already prepared for the worst.

"It's just that the loss in the city is relatively large. They ransacked all the shops, and all of them were brought back to the capital by Qi Sheng himself. There were also many people who hadn't had time to evacuate. They killed and humiliated them, hey..." Yan couldn't bear it. Besides.

While the two were talking, they had already reached the street. Compared to the second battlefield of the General's Mansion, the street was not much better. The ground was in a mess and hadn't been cleaned up yet.

The potholes were blown out with gunpowder when they attacked the city. There was little smoke on the street. Some did not come back, and some died on the street. They were claimed by their relatives and buried in mourning. Most of them were unclaimed. corpse.

shocking!Li Xiaochuan had never been defeated to this extent since he fought in the war, he saw the enemy's wailing more, now seeing the sky over northern Xinjiang was shrouded in a sad atmosphere, his heart also became heavy.

"Yan, you don't have to follow me anymore, you go and help take care of the aftermath." He ordered.

Yan was a little worried: "General, your injury is just right. I think it's better to go back to the General's Mansion first. If there is a mistake, how can we explain it to Madam?"

He waved his hand and said, "I'll take another look. Qi Sheng from Lan Country is too courageous, I want to remember this enmity, you go back first."

"They only dare to use more to bully the less. Qi Sheng doesn't know how to use troops, and he retreats after being bluffed a few times. This man has no ink, and he has nothing to fear. To deal with him, I don't need the general to take action, I am enough." Yan Said.

"Well, you're right, go and bury the soldiers first, and then call the people back." After he finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.

Yan looked at his back, under the setting sun, his shadow was stretched very long, just like the things he was carrying, too many.

In front, a little girl was crying. Li Xiaochuan walked over and asked softly, "Why are you crying? Where is your family?"

When the little girl was seven or eight years old, when she heard the question, she raised her eyes full of tears and said, "My mother hid me in the closet and didn't allow me to come out, but I'm hungry."

Her face was hungry, it seemed that she hadn't eaten, Li Xiaochuan asked again: "Where are your parents?" She shook her head in confusion.

Li Xiaochuan looked at her, with an expectant look on her ignorant face, she asked: "Can you help me find my mother? Where did they go?"

There is such a young daughter in the family. If the parents are safe, they will definitely come back as soon as possible. However, it seems that they have little hope of coming back. I don’t know how many orphans and widows have been created in this war.

It's all his own fault. He looked at everything around him, dilapidated and desolate, corpses strewn all over the ground, crying for relatives and friends, and this little yellow-haired child who was lonely and helpless. All these, like a sharp knife, pierced his heart so painfully .

"Come on, I'll take you to dinner."

Hearing the meal, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she licked her mouth unconsciously, but she wondered again: "But I still have to wait here for my parents, they will be anxious if they can't find them."

"I'll have people waiting for them here tomorrow, and they'll pick you up when they come back, okay?"

The little girl nodded, and obediently followed him to the General's Mansion. On the table in the main hall, the cook just came back not long ago, so in a hurry, she just cooked a table of home-cooked dishes.

But the few people at the table, the general, Meng Yizhen, and the little girl, and everyone else, the general asked them to sit down and eat together, thanking them for their perseverance.

The entire hall was extremely dull, and someone said something: "We still have the opportunity to sit here and eat, but there are so many people, but there is no chance again."
