Chapter 286
The two armies fought, and soon, as smart as Shen Jiajun, he naturally smelled something unusual.Sure enough, when they saw the enemy army attacking from all directions, they knew that this battle was about to be lost.

However, all they thought was that this battle was about to be lost, but they couldn't believe that this battle would actually cause them to lose their most respected and beloved general.

Therefore, when Lei Guo's soldiers saw that Shen Xiao'an had been hit by three enemy arrows, especially when one of the arrows hit the deadliest part of his chest, they couldn't believe it.How did things become like this?That was their most beloved General Shen.

"General," all the soldiers shouted in unison.

"Shen Jiajun, retreat," someone in the crowd shouted, and the soldiers all followed suit.

"Your Highness, shall we not continue to chase?" Beside Cang Tianqing, Cang Yijun's strategist Zhou Ziheng asked doubtfully, isn't it the best time to pursue the victory now?Why did His Highness stop it?Sometimes, he really can't understand this Prince Cang Tianqing who is both master and friend.

"It's not necessary," Cang Tianqing replied lightly, it was enough to let the Shen family's army retreat, this was his original goal, since it had already been achieved, there was no need to continue chasing after him.

"Yes," Zhou Ziheng replied.After all, he still admires His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is both Lord and Friend.

Lei country barracks.

"Doctor, what are you talking about, what is the general's situation? What do you mean by being silent like this?" Zhao Tian, ​​who has never had much patience, looked at the silent military doctor now. , anxious.Such a dull scene really made him unbearable.

"General Zhao, old man, I really can't do anything. The arrow in General Shen's shot is at the fatal place." The military doctor shook his head with a helpless expression on his face. He was really powerless.

"Powerless? Imperial Physician Feng, what do you mean?" Everyone looked at Feng Xing. Isn't this the best imperial physician in the imperial hospital?
"That's right," Feng Xing looked at the generals in front of him, as if they would swallow him alive as soon as he said that General Shen was hopeless. "It means that General Shen is hopeless," he closed his eyes and finished in one breath.

"How is it possible." Zhao Tian looked unbelievable, this is not true, absolutely not true.How did this happen, how did things get to this point?

"Cough," Shen Xiaoan coughed lightly, he naturally knew that his time was not long, and he didn't have any timidity about death, but, Ru'er, I'm afraid I can't realize the promise I made to you as a husband what.

"Great General," everyone surrounded him one after another.

"Brothers, don't embarrass Dr. Feng, he has done his best, cough, cough," he coughed a few more times, and blood flowed from the corners of his lips.Shen Xiaoan shook the hand of Zhao Tian who was closest to him, and said: "Please agree to Shen's ruthless request, cough cough."

"Brother, please speak slowly, we brothers will fulfill your wish at one point." Zhao Tian held Shen Xiaoan's hand.

Zhao Tian's "big brother" yelled that the eyes of those present couldn't help but turn red.

How many years have they followed Shen Xiaoan through life and death together, and they have long regarded him as their own elder brother.Even though some of them were older than Shen Xiaoan, they were still convinced and called Shen Xiaoan "big brother".

Now, their eldest brother still has unfulfilled wishes, and they, as brothers, will naturally help.

"Help me forward this letter to Jiaqing's mother," he said, taking out an envelope from his cuff with great effort, and handing it to Zhao Tian.This letter was prepared by him last night. In fact, before each battle, he would prepare a letter just in case, but, before, he had returned safely, so those The letter was not even handed over to Mo Xiaoru, but this time he didn't want to think about it anymore, as long as he thought that he was going to leave her, his heart felt like a knife.

"Also, tell her that I'm sorry for her, I didn't keep my promise, let her live well, and tell Jiaqing, don't take revenge for me, 'When is the time for retribution'," he continued to add.

What Shen Xiaoan was most afraid of was that Mo Xiaoru would follow him away desperately because of his departure.However, he really couldn't bear her to do this for him.He wanted her to live a good life and accompany their daughter to live a good life.

It wasn't until he was about to leave that he realized that he was so reluctant to let go of her, his favorite, and their daughter. In this world, it turns out that there are so many things worthy of his nostalgia. Deeply concerned about ah.

In front of his eyes, he seemed to see her again, the woman who had been with him all his life, the woman who made him worry about him, the woman who smiled brightly at him when they first met, that... He found that that woman was in He has left an indelible mark on his heart.

"Help me tell Mother Jiaqing that in this life, I, Shen Xiaoan, can meet her. I have no regrets in this life. I am very glad that I was able to meet her in that beautiful season. If there is an afterlife, I will still be with her." Meet. Also, help me bury me in this forest, let me watch our army win, and then, take me home." Shen Xiaoan struggled to finish the last sentence, holding Zhao Tian's hand was finally powerless drooped down.There was a faint smile on his lips, as if he was thinking of the happiest thing in his life, so peaceful that everyone couldn't help thinking that he was just asleep, if they didn't know that he had left.

"General," everyone shouted in unison. These men who have galloped on the battlefield for many years and adhered to the principle of "bleeding, sweating and not crying" are all shedding tears at this moment.

When the news of Shen Xiaoan's sacrifice for the country came back to the capital, it was already two days later.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Northern Territory." Xiao Linzi shouted excitedly. He thought, it must be the good news from the Northern Territory, and General Zhenbei won again.That's right, General Zhenbei went out in person, how could he not win?But, this time, he was wrong.

"Well, present it."

After reading this letter, Rao Ru Nangong He couldn't help being stunned.Such a bad news is not only so sad for the people who love Shen Xiaoan, but for him, such a bad news made his most capable and loyal minister leave just like that. For a while, he really is unacceptable.However, the fact is like this, even if you are unwilling to accept this fact, you still have to accept it, right?
Looking at Nangong He's expression, Xiao Linzi was a little strange. Wasn't it good news from the northern border? Was General Shen defeated?However, if it was a defeat, how could the emperor show such a heartbroken expression?Kobayashi was a little confused.However, the emperor's mind is hard to guess, so Xiao Linzi stopped thinking about it.

"Your Majesty, King Mo is here," a court lady came to report.

"Let King Mo come in."

"Yes," the maid nodded, and then backed out.

"Brother Mo, follow me to the General's Mansion in Zhenbei." Nangong Mo looked at Nangong He's serious expression and asked, "What happened, Brother Huang."

"The Zhenbei general Shen Xiaoan died for the country." Nangong He said with a heartbroken face.

When hearing the news, Nangong Mo was also stunned.Xiao Linzi was even more surprised.

"The emperor is here," Xiao Linzi called out, and by the way, asked Shen's servants to notify the master.

When they heard the news, Mo Xiaoru and Shen Jiaqing were a little surprised. How could the emperor come here in person?Could it be that some bad news came from the northern border? No, no, as soon as this thought came up, Mo Xiaoru immediately denied it in her heart.Xiao An had promised her that no matter what, he would come back safely, and she should trust him.

The mother and daughter hurried to the front hall. After all, the emperor is here in person, so we can't neglect it.

"Kowtow to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live." The mother and daughter both knelt down and said.

"Get up." Nangong He said lightly.

After so many days, Nangong Mo thought that when he saw this person in front of him again, he would not feel any more.But, at this moment, how to explain that beating heart?It turned out that he couldn't completely forget after all.

"Mrs. Shen," Nangong He looked at the woman in front of him, suddenly he couldn't bear to speak, but after all, she would know about this matter, he hesitated, and said: "General Shen," he paused After a pause, Mo Xiaoru's heart inexplicably raised, did something really happen, was he injured, or something happened, "General Shen died." He continued.

"Your Majesty," Mo Xiaoru's voice had a tinge of disbelief, no, she must have had auditory hallucinations, what she said just now was not true, "Your Majesty, what did you say?" Her voice trembled, but More are indeed full of disbelief. "Impossible, how could it be?"

"General Shen died." Looking at Mo Xiaoru like this, Nangong He repeated. "Also, General Shen was buried in the northern border, and he wanted to see our army win with his own eyes." Nan Gonghe added, conveying all the information in the letter to Mo Xiaoru.

Mo Xiaoru took two steps back abruptly. If her daughter Shen Jiaqing was not supporting her, she would have fallen to the ground at this moment.

She grabbed her daughter's sleeves tightly, "Jiaqing, tell mother, it's not true, it's not true, your father hasn't left, right? He promised me that he will come back safely." , how could he not keep his word? How could he... I don't believe it, I don't believe it..." Mo Xiaoru was crying, tears blurred her face, and she only felt a blur in front of her eyes. Fuzzy, even a certain place in my heart collapsed instantly.

She couldn't believe it, it wasn't true, her husband had really left her?How can she believe this, how can she believe it?The promise made that day is still in my ears, but now I tell her like this.How could she bear this?Xiao An, you clearly promised me with your own mouth, how can you break your promise, how can you?In these days when there is no news, she always comforts herself like this, no news is good news.But, how could it be so cruel?This kind of comfort has become a luxury after all.

"Mother," looking at the mother in front of her, Shen Jiaqing really couldn't bear to tell her that her father had really left and left them forever, but the fact is the fact, even if it is extremely denied, it still cannot be changed. "Mother, dad has already left." How could the pain in her heart be worse than that of her mother, but in front of her mother, the only thing she has to do is to be strong, and in the days to come, she will be her mother's reliance.Therefore, she cannot fall, she told herself.

Mo Xiaoru only felt that there was darkness in front of her eyes for a moment, and a sense of powerlessness hit her, and she had already fainted in Shen Jiaqing's arms.

"Mother, mother," the shouts came from beside Mo Xiaoru's ears, but Mo Xiaoru could no longer hear them.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Linzi immediately shouted, "Tell the imperial doctor." He is indeed a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he really knows what to do when.

"Doctor Zhang, how is my mother?" Shen Jia's light voice was full of worry.

"Master Shen, madam is auspicious and auspicious people have their own natural features, but it's just a matter of impatience. It will be fine when the old man prescribes a few decoctions of medicine."

"Thank you, the imperial physician." Shen Jia thanked lightly.Immediately, as if remembering something, she turned around, looked at Nangong He in front of her, and knelt down. "Your Majesty, the grass-roots people have a request, please allow the Emperor to fulfill it."

"Let's talk." Nangong He looked at the young man in front of him. He had a delicate face like a woman's, and his frail body seemed to fall if the wind blows.But it is such a young man who has such strong perseverance, which makes people admire and feel sorry for him at the same time.

Standing beside Nangong He, Nangong Mo's eyes closely followed Shen Jiaqing, he felt sorry for this person.She is so fragile that she can't even be blown down by the wind, but she is so strong that he can't help but feel distressed.

"Your Majesty, I implore His Majesty to allow the Caomin to lead the army to march against Cangyi." Shen Jiaqing said what was in her heart, but she was still a little unsure in her heart.After all, it is really too hasty to make such a request under such circumstances.

Nangong He thought for a while, and for some reason, the thin-looking young man in front of him could win his trust so easily.Besides, he is Shen Xiaoan's only son.Thinking about it, he was also taught by Shen Xiaoan's precepts and deeds. "Okay, I will make you a great general and go to Cangyi. You can set off in ten days. The Shen family's army is still waiting in the northern border."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Shen Jia said lightly, she was finally relieved, fortunately, the Emperor agreed, otherwise she really didn't know how to persuade him?Although I don't know what the emperor's purpose is for agreeing to her request, but I am really happy in my heart.

"Get up." Nangong He shook the hem of his clothes, got up and left.

Lei Guo Palace.

"Brother Huang, my younger brother also has a request."

"Oh?" Nangong He was a little surprised. His younger brother usually looks unrestrained and cynical, but once there is something he wants to be serious about, no matter how difficult it is, he can always do it brilliantly.I don't know what his request is at this moment, he is really curious.

"Please ask the emperor to let the emperor follow General Shen to go to Cangyi as a military adviser."
