Xi Meng walked up to him, raised her hand and gently peeled off the gauze on his neck that had been stained red with blood. After making sure that the wound was only slightly cracked and did not need to alert the military doctor, she applied medicine and bandaged him herself.
Her movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting him again.
"Scabs will form in two days, and they will heal when the scabs fall off. To prevent scars from forming, apply a little of this honey juice when changing dressings every day." She put a small pink-white clay pot in her hand on the
On the table, he whispered instructions.
Sima Luocheng looked at the small clay pot and was slightly startled. He nodded immediately, then shook his head again and said: "No need, I'd better keep this Honey Meng'er for myself. I'm a man, even if I leave scars, it doesn't matter.
.”
As he said that, the smile on his lips was a little stiff, and his eyes looking at Ximeng were full of sadness, "Actually, I have an unshirkable responsibility for Ye'er's death."
Hearing this, Xi Meng's heart tightened. Although she despised what he had done, he had gone through many hardships before ascending to the position of king. Now the future of the people of Yun Kingdom is in his hands, and his safety is still the first priority.
She was thinking this in her mind and blurted out, "So what if I am responsible? Everyone is dead, just know it in your heart. After all, you shouldn't put yourself in danger. What happened tonight is too risky. Let's not mention it for now.
, it’s just that Chu Ying’er can not only forge secret letters to sow the relationship between you and Xiang Tianci, but also make no secret about Gong Ziliang’s attack on the city. She must be the real culprit behind the grain robbery case in Fuyang and the assassination of the Minister of Justice.
It is also inseparable from her. Now that she has escaped, it will be impossible to capture her in the future. I clearly helped you secretly with your sword earlier, why didn't you use all your strength? Could it be that you still have compassion for her?
Heart? You should understand that you are the king of the country. If you cannot protect yourself, how can you protect your people of Yun Kingdom?"
Her words made Sima Luocheng feel both warm and sad. He was naturally happy to know that she cared about him. However, there was a hint of helplessness in her tone, and her already low mood became even more gloomy. Even her voice was filled with emotion.
A little hoarse.
"I didn't think carefully about this matter. I was worried that Meng'er was determined to sneak into the summer camp tonight. I couldn't worry about it, so I wanted to stop Meng'er. I also felt that the shadow guard was around and it was inconvenient to say a lot, so I sent them away.
I didn't expect Chu Ying'er to suddenly appear. Until tonight, I never thought that the person I shot was actually Ye'er. I admit that when she talked about the past, I lost my mind for a moment.
Forgot her current identity. After all, she is Ye'er's sister. Ye'er died because of me, so it is normal for her to want revenge."
As soon as Sima Luocheng finished speaking, Shi Meng already felt a little guilty. It turned out that he took away his shadow guard in order to persuade her not to take risks.
She opened her thin lips slightly and was about to apologize when she heard Sima Luocheng say softly: "To be honest with Meng'er, I secretly liked Ye'er when I was young. She was a very well-behaved and sensible girl. She probably knew her identity.
Despite the huge difference, you are always extremely polite whenever you see me, and you always give in to me when you practice swordsmanship with me..."
There was tenderness in his eyes for a moment, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xi Meng was slightly startled, so that was it. No wonder when they met by chance in Yunni Town, they always felt that Luo Cheng looked at Ye'er with a particularly gentle look, which was very different from the indifference of others.
He never thought that Ye'er would be his first love.
He has probably been thinking these days about why the woman he once liked suddenly wanted to kill him. The appearance of Chu Ying'er tonight helped him untie the knot in his heart, but she tied it tightly for him.
Another deeper knot has been formed, which he may not be able to open for the rest of his life.
Xi Meng didn't know how to persuade him, but tonight his sword could have killed Chu Ying'er, but he didn't, probably because of Ye'er.
As Chu Ying'er said, when Yinshi passed the next day, the General Soldier of Xizhou sent an urgent report. Two hundred thousand Xia troops had already arrived at the gate of Xizhou City. Young Master Liang ordered the vanguard officer to lead 10,000 cavalry at the city gate.
They shouted, saying that if the city is not opened and surrendered before Xu hour today, they will attack the city by force. By then, there will be no hope of life in Xizhou City, and no humans or animals will be left.
Sima Luocheng stayed up all night and looked haggard. He was looking at the urgent report sent by the soldiers. He staggered and almost fell. He barely held on to the corner of the desk and ordered people to quickly call the deputy generals on the left and right to come into the camp to discuss matters.
At three o'clock in the morning, the left and right lieutenants and the three pioneer officers each received the emperor's order and set off separately. Sima Luocheng leaned on the table with his forehead propped up, looking at the map of the mountains and rivers of the Yun Kingdom on the table in silence.
The lives of tens of thousands of people in the three states and sixteen counties of Western Xinjiang depend on this battle. If they can defend Xizhou, they will be saved. If they cannot defend it, not to mention Western Xinjiang, I am afraid that the map of the mountains and rivers of the Yun Kingdom will also be changed.
Name changed.
When he was meditating, he felt the wind blowing in front of him, carrying a faint sweet smell, and his anxious heart suddenly calmed down a little. When he looked up, he saw Xi Meng dressed in plain white men's clothes, with a delicate and flawless face, slightly raised.
Her chin was as clear as water, and her purple eyes were as clear as water. No matter how she dressed up, she could not hide the strong charm that radiated from the inside out.
Seeing him staring at her in a daze, Shi Meng put down the cup of medicine in her hand, walked around the table and came to him, looked at the silk wrapped around his neck, and said, "Have you changed the medicine? Does it still hurt? Do you want it?"
Can I use my spiritual power to relieve your pain?"
She knew that the situation was urgent and his injury needed to be healed as soon as possible. When she came in just now, she happened to pass by several generals who were leaving his tent. Although she did not ask them, she could see from the looks on their faces.
In his solemn state, he had already made a guess.
She was about to raise her hand to cover his wound, but he dodged back, but the move was probably too big, and the wound was painful, but he didn't moan like last night, he just pulled the corners of his lips.
He shook his head, his expression was very strange.
After a moment, Meng'er stopped taking action, and then he said, "I need to go to Xizhou City to appease the people. Will Meng'er come with me?"
As he spoke, he picked up the medicine cup and lowered his head to drink the medicine.
"It is true that someone needs to go to the city to appease the people at this moment, but this person cannot be you!" As soon as Shi Meng finished speaking, the voice of the guards came from outside the tent.
"Wan Zhongyi, the governor of Xizhou, would like to see you!"
Hearing this, Sima Luocheng put down the medicine cup, raised his head, looked at the dark figure kneeling at the door curtain, and then looked back at Shi Meng standing in front of the desk. Shi Meng suddenly understood, picked up the medicine cup, and walked quickly
Avoid after entering the screen.
After a moment, I heard Sima Luocheng say in a deep voice: "Come in!"
Xi Meng hid behind the screen and heard the general of the Ten Thousand Levels briefly describe the current situation in Xizhou City to Sima Luocheng.
He also kowtowed to the ground and said that the people in the city were grateful for the king's great kindness in giving food. Even though the city was besieged by the Xia army, they all expressed their vow to live and die with Xizhou.
