Chapter 271 What's the beauty
(Thanks for Lingnan Yizhimei's monthly ticket, thank you for the reward of 66226633, thank you for the old bird who reads the book) Chapter 271
After the night, the cool breeze, and after the heat of the day dissipated, the peak rarely ushered in the most comfortable time of the day. The peak was high and the mosquitoes had no foothold. Many guards took off their coats and lay on the hot sand with their chests open, making the warm sand ironed their whole body tired.
The crazy attack of the Tatron in the day took away the lives of four swordsmen and Song Nan's two personal guards, and five people were injured by rockets to varying degrees. There were only 16 people left on the peak, all of whom were tired and their eyes were red, and their spirit and physical strength had reached the verge of collapse, such as the Tatari. I'm afraid it's hard to resist the fierce attack.
Of course, the difficulty is not only the lack of manpower. Liu Jin's negligence led to the burning of dry food. The only thing that can survive is the thin layer of water that survives in the bucket, and the bullets of fire are about to be exhausted. Originally, there were only 60 rounds of ammunition per person, and the consumption of several days has been distributed to each person. It's only five or six rounds, and no matter how powerful it is, it can't withstand the battle of the lives of the Taran.
Song Nan's head was as big as a bucket. She sat by the big pit and looked at a pile of fire ignited by arrows and frowned to find a way. Tomorrow, the water will be exhausted. According to her estimation, the reinforcements will not arrive until around the ninth and tenth day, but in such a situation, everyone will starve to death if they can't be rescued. How can I die of thirst?
Zhengde came slowly with the help of Liu Jin and sat next to Song Nan. Song Nan hurried to get up and salute. Zheng De waved his hand and said, "Don't get up and keep some strength. I know that you are worried. I came to tell you that you have done everything you can, and I am very grateful to you."
Song Nan said, "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged and can't give up. We have traveled 9,999 miles away, and we can reach it by gritting our teeth."
Zhengde sighed and said, "Don't comfort me. I know very well that I naturally have the same tone as you in front of everyone in the day, but after thinking about it at night, I still know it; don't pretend to be full of confidence. I know that you are at peace in everyone's hearts, and I'm ready."
Song Nan bowed his head and said nothing. Zhengde is very smart. His absurd appearance is actually a disguise. His heart is actually a smart person, and his mind is also very open-minded. As an emperor, this is extremely rare
.
Liu Jin gently wiped his tears, and Zhengde's stomach cooed, suddenly diluting a heavy atmosphere. Zhengde mocked himself, "Look at me, I haven't eaten for a day. I suddenly blame myself for what a shameful it was to waste delicious food in the palace that day. If I can get out of trouble and return to the palace, I will I vowed not to waste a bowl of rice and a mouthful of soup.
Song Nan smiled and said, "After returning to Beijing, I sent a hundred ducks to the palace to enjoy the emperor."
Zhengde clicked, stretched out his neck and swallowed a dry spit and said, "Then I will sleep in the roast duck pile for three days, eat when I wake up, and sleep when I am full."
Song Nan laughed and said, "The ministers may blame the emperor for not going to the early morning."
Zhengde waved his hand and said, "What about them, if it weren't for them... Hey, don't talk about it..."
Liu Jin said to Song Nan in a low voice, "Lord Song, can you think of a way? Everyone is touching their bodies to see if they can find some food. The emperor is hungry and grunts. We can't do nothing we can do."
Song Nan reached out and took out a dagger from his arms and handed it over and said, "Eunuch Liu cut a piece of meat. I still have a good barbecue level to ensure that the emperor can eat comfortably."
Liu Jin's face turned red. As soon as she frowned and stretched out her hand, she wanted to take the dagger. Song Nan smiled and took the dagger back and said, "Is Grandpa Liu really cut it?"
Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was righteous and awe-inspiring: "Our family keeps its word. For the sake of the emperor, we are also doing everything. Bring the dagger. Where do you want to eat?"
Zhengde waved his hand and said, "I don't eat it. I don't eat human flesh. You two don't scare me."
Song Nan laughed and said, "The emperor thinks that your Eunuch Liu's meat is too old. Where is Su'er?"
Dai Suer, who was sitting in the shadows with Princess Corning not far away, got up and replied, "The little maidservant is here."
Zhengde was stunned and said, "Song Nan, I said I wouldn't eat human flesh. No matter how tender this maid's meat is, I won't eat it. I would rather starve to death."
Liu Jin was stunned. Song Nan was more able to flatter than herself and cut the meat of the maidservant to give the emperor's stomach. It was really cruel. Although killing this maidservant could make everyone eat a few meals and the hope of survival was greatly increased, after all, he had lost another round, and the emperor must have valued Song Nan more.
Liu Jin was upright and thought nonsense, but heard Song Nan laugh and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to kill and eat each other. It's a beast's thing to eat each other. How can it be done? The little maid can play a little song. I just want her to play a song to relieve everyone's emotions and hunger in the stomach.
Zhengde suddenly smiled and said, "So that's right. That's good. I want to listen to it."
Song Nan said to Dai Suer, "Do you hear me? Blow a song, is Yu Xiao still there?"
Dai Suer whispered, "Yes, but the little maidservant doesn't want to play."
Song Nan was stunned, and Liu Jin over there had already shouted, "You slave, the emperor wants to hear you disobey. You don't want to live, do you?"
Dai Suer's hair was scattered and her face was dirty, and she had no usual style, but she stood straight and squeezed her mouth without saying a word.
Song Nan knew what he meant and said to Liu Jin, "Mr. Liu, please go to the cliff to rest. I'll serve you."
Liu Jin finally understood that the little maidservant came for her, and the reason why she didn't want to play was because she was present. Thinking that Dai Suer's father was killed by his staff, Liu Jin couldn't help shivering. It turned out that she had so many enemies on this peak except the emperor and princess. It's not easy for me to survive.
The good man did not suffer the immediate loss. Liu Jin knew that he could not annoy Song Nan at this time, otherwise Zhengde may not be able to protect himself. He immediately got up and said, "Well, your father, the old slave's waist also hurts a lot. Go there and lie down for a while. If the emperor has a call to say hello."
Zhengde waved his hand, and Liu Jin limped and moved his body to hide in the dark. Song Nan Wen said to Dai Suer, "You play a song to relieve the emperor's fatigue. If the emperor is happy, he may reward you."
Dai Suer understood Song Nan's words. What good reward can be given at this peak? Obviously, she took the opportunity to ask the emperor to remove her slavery, but Dai Suer remembered what Song Nan said. Once she broke away from slavery, Song Nan would return her freedom, and then she could leave. Open Song Mansion, but is that really what you want?
Zhengde nodded and said, "Song Nan mentioned your matter to me. Now that I think about it, your father is loyal, but he is a little strong. Now that I am trapped here, I have thought a lot about the past, and I don't say right or wrong, but your slave, I can now remove it for you. From today on, you are free; if I can get out of trouble and return to Beijing, you protect me. The Lord's work is enough to offset the sins of the Father, and I will reward you very much.
Zhengde did not explicitly say that Dai Mill is innocent, because if Dai Mill is revicted, Liu Jin's behavior on that day will be attacked by a group of ministers. Liu Jin is guilty, that is to say, it is wrong to deal with the collective letter of the foreign court on that day, and it is also inappropriate to depose dozens of civil servants. This is a matter of principle, and Zhengde will naturally not let go; Except for Dai Suer's slavery as grace and reward, it is another matter.
Dai Suer's tears rolled in her eyes, stretched out her sleeves and gently wiped away her tears and said, "Thank you, your Majesty, but the jade flute is broken and can't be played. Let's sing a small song for the emperor and Mr. Song."
Song Nan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, can you also sing music?"
Dai Suer said, "The slave can't sing well. The emperor and Mr. Song will listen to it."
Zhengde laughed and said, "It's a blessing to have a song in the wilderness. I'm not picky; Royal sister, come and listen to the song."
Zhu Xiufu moved over, and her hungry eyes appeared. As soon as she sat aside, she leaned directly on Song Nan's shoulder. Song Nan was embarrassed to hide, but she couldn't bear it. These days, the baptism of blood and fire made the noble princess follow the test of life and death and face the struggle of life and death. Her performance was enough to surpass Song Nan. Song Nan's impression of her has also greatly changed; but Song Nan knows that she can never be entangled with her again, but on this peak, whether she can survive is still unknown, and Song Nan can't bear to be too ruthless.
Zhengde's behavior towards Zhu Xiufu was already common, and he saw Dai Suer coughing gently twice, clear her throat and whispering, "It turns out that the purple and red are everywhere, as if they are all given to the broken well."
Dai Suer's dehydrated voice is hoarse and low, but it sounds like a different taste and a different mood.
"The beautiful scenery is beautiful, but the sky, who is happy..."
"Morning and evening scrolls, Yunxia Cuixuan, rain silk wind pieces, smoke and waves painting boats."
Where have we met? Looking at each other, is it good to meet without saying a word?
The voice is gentle, like a gentle hand brushing everyone's hearts, which is both desolate and gentle.
The guards lying at the top of the peak and looking up at the stars in the sky listened quietly. Song Nan closed his eyes and let the music slowly float in his heart. He can't help thinking of the people in the capital. Under the same sky and stars, what are the family in the capital thinking about at this moment? What are you doing? But what about missing them so strongly and eager to return to them?
After the song was finished, everything was silent. Song Nan slowly sighed and opened his eyes to Dai Suer, but he saw that Dai Suer's eyes flashed, as if there were tears, and she was looking at herself silently.
