Chapter 714(1/3)
In a desolate town.
Li Beifeng and Zhao Ying appeared in the town and slowly walked through the streets of the town.
At the warm invitation of Prince Zhaonan, the two were left to stay here temporarily. Zhao Ying did not refuse, and Li Beifeng naturally had no reason to refuse.
As for what is the purpose of Prince Zhaonan leaving the two? I don’t know yet! But before we tear our faces apart, everything still maintains a delicate balance.
On the other hand, Prince Zhaonan was then called away by an urgent report from the front. Before leaving, he specially instructed the servants and maids to take good care of the two.
Li Beifeng and Zhao Ying stayed in the room for a while and decided to go out for a walk.
Fully armed soldiers patrolled by everywhere around, and a solemn aura enveloped the town. The town was in a mess, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.
"I have some impression of it here, it used to be quite prosperous..."
Li Beifeng looked at the town in front of him and sighed softly.
The town is not too far from Ping'an County, and Li Beifeng has heard of it. However, he did not expect that the town has now become like this.
There are many houses in the town that collapsed and turned into ruins. The doors of every household are closed, and there are even few people on the streets.
Apart from the patrol soldiers passing by, there was no one else. The surroundings were quiet and extremely desolate.
Zhao Ying looked at this scene and remained silent.
"I don't know what happened to Ping'an County!"
Li Beifeng said silently.
Ping'an County is not far from here, it is extremely close to the war. I don't know what's going on now?
There is also Lijia Village, are the villagers okay?!
This war affected too many ordinary people. From Zhongzhou to Nanzhou, Li Beifeng came to the front line and witnessed these tragedies with his own eyes.
He was in a heavy mood.
Even though he is now the prince of Northern Qi, he still does not want to see so many innocent people suffering from the destruction of war.
Zhao Ying stopped, raised her eyes and looked at the distance, and then Li Beifeng also followed her gaze.
"It's wind blowing!"
Zhao Ying suddenly spoke softly.
Li Beifeng was stunned, and then he noticed that the branches not far away were shaking and the dense forest rustled.
The autumn wind roared and continued to erode in the town!
The howling cold wind in the sky ripples between the sky and the earth, adding a bit of dismal bleakness to this desolate town.
The cold wind whistled, blowing Zhao Ying's face, blowing her long clothes flying.
"yes!"
Li Beifeng sighed a little.
The wind is blowing!
Another year has passed.
"The weather is cold, let's go back!"
Li Beifeng looked back at her and spoke softly.
"Um."
Zhao Ying nodded slightly, and the two turned around and turned back.
When he returned to the tent, the soldier outside the door finally couldn't hold back his expression when he saw Li Beifeng standing side by side with the eldest princess, and gradually became frightened and became frightened.
...
In the distance, the sound of war sounded and rumbling.
There was a faint sound of fighting, and a new round of war ignited again.
This war lasted for half a day and gradually stopped.
In the evening, Prince Zhaonan appeared tiredly in the military camp.
"Prince!"
The military advisor on the side stepped forward and wanted to say something. Prince Zhaonan waved his hand and stared at the sand table, and remained silent for a long time.
Until a long time later, Prince Zhaonan sighed deeply.
"Prince, if we continue to stalemate like this, it may not be very beneficial to us..."
At this time, the military advisor gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to just..."
Prince Zhaonan waved his hand without expression, and stopped the military advisor from continuing to speak.
Then he raised his eyes: "Where is Ying'er?"
Seeing this, the military advisor sighed deeply, and then replied: "It's settled!"
"Prepare the wine and food, I will have a family dinner with the emperor's niece!"
“…”
At night.
On the east side of the town, there is a restaurant.
In the backyard lobby.
There is a table full of food with delicacies!
There were three people sitting at the table.
Prince Zhaonan, Zhao Ying, and Li Beifeng.
It should have been a family dinner for the Zhao family, but Li Beifeng was also called by Prince Zhaonan.
Obviously, Prince Zhaonan's move was to recognize Li Beifeng's identity. Although he was not married yet, Zhao Ying is now pregnant with his child. In the eyes of Prince Zhaonan, Li Beifeng has actually become Zhao Ying's husband.
During the meal, Li Beifeng did not say much, but sat next to Zhao Ying, silently.
Prince Zhaonan talked about family matters with Zhao Ying and the family affairs of the Zhao family. His expression and eyebrows were full of the loving care of the elders.
In a trance, it seemed as if the middle-aged man in front of him was not the Prince Zhaonan of Dazhao, nor the Prince who dragged Dazhao into the quagmire of war, but a kind elder who talked to his younger generation about family affairs.
Occasionally, I also talked about something with Li Beifeng, and tested Li Beifeng's identity in his tone. Li Beifeng was still at ease and showed no flaws.
After a meal, it was quite pleasant.
"Ying'er, in the blink of an eye, it turns out that so many years have passed, and you have grown up too!"
Prince Zhaonan sighed: "Uncle is old too!"
"I still remember the days when I drank and arched with your father, I was still vivid in my mind. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, everything changed! "
Zhao Ying looked at the emperor's uncle calmly, remained silent for a moment, and said, "If the emperor wants to see his father, there is still a chance."
Have a chance?
Let Prince Zhaonan go to the capital?
Isn't this delivered to the door?
Prince Zhaonan's face remained calm, as if he had thought of something: "By the way, when it comes to this matter, I want to ask..."
"Your father, can you really come back to life?"
Prince Zhaonan stared at Zhao Ying and asked this question that he had always been concerned about.
Resurrection?
How come there is such absurd thing in the world?
More than half a year ago, Emperor Zhao was assassinated and Zhao Jing ascended the throne was a foregone conclusion. But more than half a year later, Emperor Zhao suddenly "resurrected" and returned to the Zhao court, deposed Zhao Jing, and ascended the throne again?
Isn't this a joke?
Isn’t this a living farce?!
Prince Zhaonan could not accept it anyway. Until now, he was still uncertain whether the matter was true or not.
"That's right!"
Zhao Ying nodded calmly: "My father was assassinated by Zhao Jing, but he was lucky enough to die. He survived and has returned to the palace and is in good health!"
"So, it's true?!"
Prince Zhaonan showed a look of shock on his face, muttering to himself for a long time, then suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Things in the world are impermanent. I didn't expect that there was such a magical thing in this world!"
Prince Zhaonan's eyes were very complicated. After a long time, he sighed, then looked at Zhao Ying, and suddenly asked: "Then, Ying'er, you have traveled thousands of miles to find the emperor's uncle this time. Could it be that you were ordered by your father?"
Hearing this, Li Beifeng, who was standing beside him, suddenly tightened his heart and took a casual look at Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying's face did not change and nodded calmly: "Yes!"
