The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 349 The Humble Once in a Lifetime
When Gu Ya's body was seemingly carried back by the loyal soldiers and presented in front of Yi Chen, his expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

Regardless of the wound on his shoulder, Gu Ming rushed to the stretcher, and tremblingly wiped the sand and blood on Gu Ya's face, "Sister, it's my brother who failed to protect you!"

Seeing this, Yichen got up from the throne and walked to Gu Ya's body, just as he was about to say something.

Gu Ming raised his head abruptly, his eyes were covered with red threads, and the corners of his eyes were filled with tears, "Didn't your majesty say that Beiqi and Nanyu formed an alliance, and the holy army of Nanyu country can help us repel Daxing in one fell swoop, and even rule the world? Now I The territory of Beiqi was invaded by Daxing, and my father and other soldiers in the army continued to sacrifice their lives in vain. Why? Can your majesty give me an answer?"

At this time, the sound of uniform footsteps came from outside the big tent, accompanied by the sound of armor and weapons rubbing against each other.

Yi Chen didn't care about answering Gu Ming's question, strode out and opened the curtain.

All the soldiers in the army were gathered outside the big tent, and the leader was Feng Xiao who was seriously injured.

All the soldiers knelt down together, and Feng Xiao said heartbrokenly: "Your Majesty, our army lost tens of thousands of horses in this battle, all because of the treachery of the Nanyu Kingdom Saintess, I implore Your Majesty not to be deceived by traitors again, and return our north." Qi's bravery in the past!"

Everyone said in unison: "Slay the demon girl and return my military style!"

Yichen clenched his sleeves tightly, and his complexion turned pale again.

At this time, Gu Ming walked out from behind him, "Your Majesty, we were able to frighten Daxing for many years at the beginning, all thanks to our immediate skills, we didn't need any gu poison, and we didn't need those inhuman help. Ever since the first emperor was superstitious about those methods, our Instead of increasing the military strength, it suffered repeated setbacks!"

Yichen seemed to be exhausted from all the strength in his body, and he tried to stand up, "Nanyu Saintess betrayed the alliance is not what I expected in advance, but Daxing now has powerful firearms in hand, all the soldiers feel that we can still rely on the horses we used to have." Do you use kung fu to repel a strong enemy?"

His voice was as light as a breeze, but it fell on everyone's heart like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves.

That's right, Daxing now has a powerful weapon in hand, and has the support of a good horse from Spain, which is no longer what it used to be.Now that their troops have suffered serious losses, and the saintess of Nanyu Kingdom has suddenly withdrawn from the matter, the situation is extremely unfavorable to them.

Feng Xiao knelt straight, "Even so, Beiqi's warriors are by no means cowards!"

Yi Chen frowned, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "Don't worry, everyone, I will never let these soldiers die in vain!"

-

But at this time outside Tongcheng, when Xiao Jingtian saw the familiar figure on the tower in the distance, he felt all the fatigue in his body was swept away.

When the soldiers of the Northwest Army saw Her Majesty the Empress standing on the tower, waiting for their triumphant return, they shouted from the bottom of their hearts——

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

10,000+ Erlang shouted in unison outside the city, the voice was like a mountain, shaking the sky and the earth.

Ning Yuezhao looked at the soldiers under the city tower. Although they were exhausted, their faces were shining brightly.

She couldn't help being infected by this, "You officers and soldiers have worked hard, I have ordered people to prepare tents with food and water, and everyone will have a good rest in these two days."

The small city of Tong suddenly became lively because of the presence of the army.

After nightfall, after resting during the day, except for some wounded soldiers, most of the soldiers regained their vitality.

A raging bonfire was lit in the military camp outside the city, and the smell of barbecue permeated the entire camp.After winter, the prey here is scarce, and these are all transported from Yuheng Pass.Because of the current special period, no wine was prepared for this feast, only tea was used.

In front of the simple wooden table, Ning Yuezhao looked at the soldiers around the bonfire who were eating meat with a smile. Even if tea was used instead of wine, they punched and obeyed the drinking order, having a great time.

With a soft "bang", a plate of roasted lamb leg was placed in front of her, and she raised her head to meet Xiao Jingtian's shining eyes.

"You hardly touched your chopsticks tonight. I added special seasoning to this plate of lamb leg, which is not smelly at all."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Jingtian sat down beside her, took out a porcelain pot as if by magic, unplugged it, and the clear aroma of wine overflowed.

Ning Yuezhao snatched the wine bottle from his hand in dissatisfaction, "You have several injuries on your body, don't drink alcohol."

Xiao Jingtian's back and arms were injured in the scuffle. Although it was only a flesh injury, Fu Liao also told him not to be careless.

He stared fixedly at the flagon in her hand, "I heard that you haven't eaten much in the past two days. If you can do this, why can't I drink?"

Ning Yuezhao handed over the jug to the maid at the side, and said with a little embarrassment: "Who said I didn't eat anything."

After finishing speaking, she immediately picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton, and chewed it carefully in her mouth.

Xiao Jingtian looked at her, as if he saw Ning Yuezhao who had just arrived in the Northwest, forced to laugh in front of others, but secretly saddened by Jiang Nian.

"You're worried about him." Out of nowhere, he just said that.Not a question, but an affirmative tone.

Ning Yuezhao paused in the air with the chopsticks that were going to pick up the mutton again. She turned to Xiao Jingtian and said generously, "I haven't heard from Jiang Nian, how could I not be worried."

She had noticed a long time ago that Xiao Jingtian hadn't addressed her as a monarch and minister for a long time.She knew that Xiao Jingtian in the previous life was dedicated to guarding Daxing's country for her because of her unmarried life.

However, whether it was in the previous life or the present life, it was impossible for her to respond to his feelings.

She is sincerely grateful for his protection, but she hopes that he can have his own happiness instead of wasting his time on her body.

Even though Xiao Jingtian had been prepared for a long time, when he heard the confession, his heart couldn't help but ache.

"If... I mean, if the first emperor wanted you and me to marry on the grounds of winning over the Xiao family's military power, would you agree?"

He carefully concealed the hope in his eyes, and asked this sentence in a very ordinary tone.

Ning Yuezhao put down her chopsticks, sighed softly and said, "At that time, if you really received such an imperial decree, you might have led troops into the imperial capital to force the empress to withdraw the decree."

Xiao Jingtian's face froze, looking at the calm Ning Yuezhao, his right hand was tightly clenched into a fist.

Ning Yuezhao pushed a cup of tea in front of Xiao Jingtian, "Without Jiang Nian, I would not be what I am now. Now that I think about myself at that time, I feel that I was so stupid."

If there was no Jiang Nian, she would be a prisoner in the Northern Qi Army and Yi Chen's confinement now.It was Jiang Nian's step-by-step support that allowed her to grow like she is today.

Maybe at the beginning she was just looking for his talents, but as time went by, she became more and more attached to him.Subtly, her feelings for him went deep into her bones.It was also because of this that when she first learned the truth about her past life, she could not accept that Jiang Nian's feelings for her might be mixed with impurities.

At this moment, Xiao Jingtian wanted to ask her why Jiang Nian could do it, but I couldn't do it in the same situation!But he also had to admit that if the marriage was really granted by the first emperor at that time, he would definitely make a big fuss in the imperial capital.

Xiao Jingtian let go, tightly held the cup of tea she pushed, and said unwillingly: "Jiang Shan or Jiang Nian, which one would you choose?"

Ning Yuezhao looked at him sideways, and said without hesitation: "Jiang Nian."

With a sound of "collapse", Xiao Jingtian crushed the porcelain cup in his hand. His Adam's apple moved up and down, and he said hoarsely: "You have been married for more than a year, and you have no children. The serious injury in Yuquan Mountain may have already hurt you." Haven't you ever thought about accepting one or two servants for his body?"

Ning Yuezhao was taken aback for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Why do you think so?"

There are similar rumors about the emperor. Jiang Nian could use his power in the Tingfeng Teahouse to suppress these rumors, but he allowed them to develop.After all, it was to protect her.

He loves her like his life, and she will never let him down again in this life!

"Jiang Nian is my only husband. This is a fact that no one can change."

The obviously gentle tone of voice fell into Xiao Jingtian's ears without hesitation.

There were still a few fragments of porcelain cups in his hand, but he tightened his palm without realizing it.

"Good good..."

Xiao Jingtian said three good things in a row, and got up with a grim expression.

His body is upright, and he has never been so humble.This once-in-a-lifetime humility was met with a merciless rejection.

Ning Yuezhao saw the blood oozing from between his fingers, and hurriedly raised her hand to beckon to her subordinates, "Send to the imperial doctor immediately!"

"No need!" Xiao Jingtian interrupted her roughly, the attendant was momentarily uncertain.

Ning Yuezhao was about to speak to persuade him, but he turned his back, waved his hands and strode away.

She also got up, but in the end she didn't go after him, she just ordered someone to follow him, keeping an eye on him so that no accident would happen.

Since she can't respond to his feelings, then the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain.

The other soldiers in the battalion were still having a carnival, and they didn't notice any abnormalities here, but Lu Ji was the closest to Ning Yuezhao, so he had a panoramic view of all this.

"Happiness is fun, parting is bitter, and there will be more idiotic children."

Lu Ji shook his head, drank the cup of cold tea in front of him, and the bitterness in his mouth reached the bottom of his heart.

Without drinks to cheer up the fun, the banquet that night was soon over.

The guards came to report, saying that they found Xiao Jingtian hiding in the camp and drank a lot of wine, and he was already unconscious.

Ning Yuezhao sighed softly, "Ask someone to take care of it."

That night, she lay on the couch and almost didn't close her eyes all night.

In the early morning of the next day, a major incident broke out in the barracks.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the wound on General Xiao's body is festering!"

How could this be?Xiao Jingtian was just drinking, and it's winter again, how could the wound fester overnight?

"Have you passed the imperial doctor?"

"Medical envoy Fu has already been diagnosed and treated in General Xiao's tent."

Ning Yuezhao didn't care much, changed clothes in a hurry and rushed to Xiao Jingtian's big tent.

But before she entered Xiao Jingtian's big tent, someone came to report again, "Your Majesty, the wounds on the soldiers who were injured in the army before this morning are all rotten to varying degrees!"

　I'm really sorry everyone, because I've been really busy during this time and my energy is limited.

　　I know that everyone is very anxious about the following plot, but I still have to write according to my rhythm.
