PS: Thank you for the support of "I am Zhang Fei" book friends for an evaluation vote, thank you!! PS: I forgot that today is Christmas, I wish you all a Merry Christmas~~
The queen was sitting in front of the warm stove feeding the little prince in her arms, and the female official Mu'er next to her was whispering something in the queen's ear, and the queen was also easy-going, laughing from time to time, or teasing with Mu'er, Mu'er smiled and even bent her eyes into a crescent moon, and the two got along very well.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, the queen and Mu'er looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of suspicion in each other's eyes, the queen simply got up and handed the little prince to Mu'er, wiped the milk left on the nipple, and then stuffed it into her clothes and wrapped it in a fluffy coat.
After doing all this, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and the queen looked at the person who pushed the door open coldly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Li Yun, you are not the kind of person who is not polite!" ”
After a night of recovery, Li Yun's injuries had almost recovered, and under the bandage that bandaged the wound, the blood had also scarred, but his expression was a little anxious, even a little angry, however, he glanced at Mu'er, who was standing in the room holding the prince, and restrained his tone: "Your Majesty, I heard something and wanted to come to you for verification." ”
The queen gave Mu'er a look, and Mu'er took the little prince and hid behind the screen.
Li Yun glanced at the warm stove, and felt that the "crackling" sound of burning wood inside was particularly harsh, and before the queen could speak, he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the queen." I heard from the people in the council this morning that you actually sent Wang Sancai to be cannon fodder? ”
"That's right, it's a personal engagement between me and him." The queen raised her eyebrows, and her tone was a little rushed: "I don't know what you think?" ”
Li Yun realized that his attitude was wrong, and sighed: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Queen, I just want to say, isn't it a little unfair for you to Wang Sancai like this?" ”
"Unfair?" The queen meant something.
Li Yun didn't think much about it, and said: "Your Majesty, he just saved you and the crown prince yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, you actually sent him to take a group of people to die." I also know that with his strength, there will definitely be no danger. But this is completely a matter of attitude, every congenital strong person has his own self-esteem and glory, if you use him as cannon fodder, aren't you afraid that he will be dissatisfied with our Li Guoxin? ”
The queen did not answer his doubts. Instead, he asked, "Do you know what kind of agreement I have with him?" ”
Asked by the Queen. Li Yun's tone was even more irritable: "I came to Her Majesty the Queen because I knew!" Don't forget, Your Majesty. Bai Jia......"
"Shut up!" The queen interrupted him sharply: "How I arrange it naturally has my purpose! ”
Li Yun restrained his tone, but he still couldn't hide the anger in it: "Aren't you afraid of angering Wang Sancai by doing this?!" ”
The queen said in an almost accusatory tone: "Li Yun, please pay attention. The assessment agreed between me and Wang Sancai is just an assessment that I can trust him. ”
"I'm afraid he doesn't think so simply like Her Majesty the Queen." Li Yun's tone was a little sarcastic: "Your Majesty, we can't lose the innate powerhouse in Wang Sancai. ”
"He's not that kind of person." The Queen's tone was affirmative: "The conversation with him yesterday is enough to see that he is not a man of dishonour and unprincipledness, and that he has been gracious to me, but has not demanded any advantages or privileges for it, and it is enough to see that his character is not as despicable as you think." ”
"Okay, I'm despicable." Li Yun sneered twice: "It's me who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”
When the queen saw him like this, she couldn't bear it: "Li Yun, don't you be like this, okay?" ”
Li Yun took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that welled up in his heart: "Your Majesty, I hope your decision is correct, don't forget, one decision of yours is enough to affect the entire kingdom behind you." ”
Dropping this sentence, Li Yun immediately turned around and went out.
The queen took a step after her: "When have I ever let you and the council down?" ”
"No, no." Li Yun's sighing voice came from afar: "But this time, we will at least prepare for war in secret." ”
……
In the blink of an eye, it was approaching dusk, and the sky was getting darker.
Deputy Lieutenant Sima sat on the ground and let the heavy snow in the air sprinkle on him at will, his face expressionless.
In front of him was a bonfire, and around him were bands of leather-armored soldiers, and a few scattered horses, which if you counted them carefully, you would know that there must be no more than thirty.
The soldiers' expressions were blank, they all knew that they were going to die soon, they had known this result since they were ordered to come here in advance to investigate last night, Deputy Lieutenant Sima looked at the soldiers with numb expressions, and couldn't help but look at Wang Sancai, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, with a headache.
Wang Sancai has been sitting with his eyes closed since he came here in the morning, and he has hardly ever opened his eyes, except for noon when he got a lot of food out of noon to fill the stomachs of more than 200 people.
"Lieutenant, eat a little, we can't be starving ghosts, can we?" A soldier took a skewer of roasted horse meat and reluctantly smiled and handed it to Adjutant Sima.
Deputy Lieutenant Sima shook his head numbly and said, "I don't eat frozen horse meat, you can share it with others, so that the brothers can be warm before they die." ”
While Deputy Lieutenant Sima said this, he looked at the skeletons of the three horses that had frozen to death in the early hours of this morning, and his face was a little resistant.
The soldier still insisted on handing the hot horse meat to Lieutenant Sima: "Your Excellency, you came early this morning to accompany the brothers, the brothers are very moved, the brothers have sworn that they will never let you be a starving ghost, but we really have nothing else to eat here, you will just settle." ”
What the fuck wants to come so early!
Deputy Lieutenant Sima cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he absolutely couldn't say this, so he said lightly: "I, Sima Kuang, have never compromised in my life, and this time is naturally no exception, take it away!" ”
The soldier bit his lip, but he could only retract the hand holding the horse meat, and said sincerely: "Lord Lieutenant, you have been strict with yourself and loyal to the kingdom in this life, and the people will definitely remember you!" ”
Deputy Lieutenant Sima replied casually: "They will all remember you too." ”
But what I wanted to say in my heart was: I don't fucking want them to remember me.
When the soldier saw this, he could only shake his head and sigh as he stood up, and walked away with the horse's meat in his hand, and gave it to his companions.
"The snow is heavy, the wind is cold, and more than 200 people are cold." Deputy Lieutenant Sima muttered and looked at the sky, and there was a feeling of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold" in his tone.
"I can't see that a person as rough as Deputy Lieutenant Sima can make such a good sentence." Wang Sancai suddenly opened his eyes, and then stood up.
Deputy Lieutenant Sima knew that his life was coming to an end, and he had no dissatisfaction and complaints about Wang Sancai, so he sighed incomparably, and even laughed at himself: "What is the use of this? ”
Wang Sancai ignored his emotion, suddenly looked cold, and said in a serious tone: "Deputy Lieutenant Sima, tell them to prepare and prepare, the enemy is coming." ”
As if in response to Wang Sancai's words, at the moment when his words fell, the ground suddenly shook slightly. (To be continued......)
