Chapter 43 Choice

The rain stops and the horse's hoofs stop.

The car body was so bumpy that Qiu Yao was shaken to be disgusted. Father Xie was rarely kind to help her follow her. The crazy escape made Qiu Yao's hard-won confidence begin to shake again. She thought that since she was born in troubled times, it was better to do her best to save the people from water and fire, but Bai Qi delayed the slaughter. She felt that it was because of her interference in the city time, and her mood was extremely low.

The whole world is in a kind of crazy slaughter. Even if it escapes from a city that is being killed, it is just from one slaughter to another.

Qiu Yao got out of the carriage a little dizzy. As soon as she shook her body, she fell into a not strange embrace. In a trance, Qiu Yao remembered the sunny afternoon and the somewhat absurd encounter.

Jingchao is dressed in a dark blue gorgeous suit, with the southern crown and hair tied up, and his hands and feet are as romantic as the last year. The obsidian-like pupils are less than the slightly frenzy bright color at that time, and is replaced by the solemnity.

Qiu Yao's heart thumped and retreated from the warm embrace like the first time. Jingcai didn't say much. She motioned the two maids beside her to enter the door with Qiu Yao. Only then did Qiu Yao find that she had come to the door of Jingfu. She frowned and looked back at Xie's father who got out of the carriage behind her.

"I have sent someone to properly settle your family. These days, you'd better stay with me first. Dr. Zhou will recover from your leg injury quickly." Jingcha's eye socket was a little deeper than before. Qiu Yao had the illusion that Jingchao was more and more like Chu Yun. She shook her head to get rid of these messy ideas. Qiu Yao finally remembered some business.

"The Qin people slaughtered the neighboring city. Did you send someone to rescue the people over there?"

The difference in scenery looked at Qiu Yao meaningfully, "Don't think about this. You go in first. The wind is strong outside. Don't hook up the wind that has just been suppressed."

Father Xie's mood at this moment is not only joy, but also a fluke. He repeatedly said some compliments to Jingcha before he happily left the door of the Jing family.

Qiu Yao always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out.

Yancheng is full of sad clouds, and the Jingjia courtyard is still lush, and there is a lot of vitality everywhere.

Qiu Yao was taken good care of in Jing's house, but she was a little impatient in a few days.

"Dr. Zhou, how's it going in Yancheng?" Qiu Yao moved her ankle a lot and looked at Dr. Zhou, who was cleaning up the bamboo.

"This..." Dr. Zhou was a little difficult to answer for a while. Qiu Yao had guessed most of it just by looking at his face.

"Dren't they send someone to rescue?" Sitting on the edge of the bed, Qiu Yao looked out of the window and the sky was already clear.

I've seen the scene several times in the past few days, but I stayed for no more than a quarter of an hour each time. What I said was nothing more than asking about Qiu Yao about Qiu Yao's leg injury, but Song Yu has been in the future once. Qiu Yao originally wanted to ask Song Yu's situation to Jingcha, but she thought that they were all on business and it was inconvenient to disturb her, so she didn't say anything.

The deep house must be ignorant. When Qiu Yao saw that most of her legs were better, she asked the maid to lead the way to go out for a walk. Unexpectedly, the maid said that Jingchao told the situation outside to avoid going out as much as possible. Qiu Yao couldn't force herself when she saw that the maid's face was embarrassed, so she asked her to take her to the garden of the Jing family to relax.

Qiu Yao is glad that the people in this family basically don't know her, otherwise, if they know that she is a poor runaway wife, she doesn't know how many eye knives she will be punished.

Qiu Yao looked absent-mindedly at the scenery in the garden and suddenly saw two familiar figures sitting opposite each other in a pavilion in front of her.

I felt a little excited inexplicably in my heart. It was the same scene when I remembered the end of the year. The handsome and elegant man who shared the business and national affairs, talked and laughed, and attracted everyone's attention.

Days of gloom seemed to have been swept away a lot by the eye-catching scene. Of course, Qiu Yao would not do the evil scenery that broke the harmonious painting. She took a breath of fresh air. She walked to the path behind the pavilion. She wanted to wander for a while before looking for the two people, but her feet unconsciously approached the direction of the pavilion.

Qiu Yao silently despised herself in her heart, and her feet were still in the pavilion. Before she was completely close to the pavilion, she heard a voice that was not very clear.

"...the sacrifice of the army...the lives of useless common people..."

Qiu Yao was slightly surprised and wanted to take a few more steps forward, but the maid beside her shouted uncooperatively, "Miss, the two flowers in front are the prince's favorites. Miss, be careful not to step on them."

Qiu Yao frowned. This maid was probably intentional.

"Yyaoyao?" Jingcha stood up first.

Qiu Yao barely squeezed out a smile and walked from the back path to the front. However, she saw the difference get up from the stool, but Song Yu sat in the distance, and her beautiful but cool eyes looked at her quietly.

"Why don't you stay in the room to rest? Your leg wound hasn't completely healed yet." The smile on Jingcha's face was as unnatural as that of Qiu Yao. Qiu Yao was a little puzzled but didn't say it clearly. She stepped on the stone steps of the pavilion and sat down in the middle of the two.

What is it, what is it, what is it?

"What are you talking about?"

Jingchao looked at Song Yu, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Nothing, it's just..."

"Why don't you tell her the truth?" Song Yu put the tea cup in her hand, and her face was still indifferent, but Qiu Yao felt a completely different mood from before.

"What's the truth?" Qiu Yao's mood, which had just relaxed, suddenly became heavy again. Looking up at the scenery difference that was still standing, Qiu Yao felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere around her.

"... Ziyuan, I know you are worried about the people of Yancheng, but this matter was decided by the king, and I can't change it." Jingqi sighed faintly and sat down to look at Qiu Yao's face.

"What decision? What does it have to do with the people in Yancheng?"

"Bai Qi slaughtered the city, but the king did not send troops to rescue it." Jingcha suddenly felt a little unhappy and poured a sip of tea.

"How can it be like this? His people are facing the disaster of extinction. How can he stand by and watch?" Qiu Yao was a little indignant. She had guessed that the people of Yancheng were more and less auspicious, but she didn't expect that the King of Chu did not send troops to rescue at all. "Didn't you persuade your king?"

"I have tried my best." Song Yu said lightly, and Qiu Yao had heard what he was angry about.

Obviously, Jingcha didn't try his best, or he didn't want to do it at all.

"We should take into account the overall situation. Yancheng was flooded and lost more than half of our troops. The remaining defenders could only protect the safety of Wangcheng. What's more, Yancheng was destroyed, and Yingdu was also in danger. At present, even the king is preparing to move. How can he divide his troops to save those refugees?" As soon as Jingchao said, she felt a little regretful. Judging from Qiu Yao's previous actions, she knew how much she had spent on those people. Her words would definitely arouse her disgust.

Sure enough, Qiu Yao's face looked ugly.

"Then did you let your peers be slaughtered?" Qiu Yao paused slightly, "Then are you going to prepare to leave?"

"Yes, if the enemy enters the royal city, they will definitely attack the royal family and the family first, which is also a helpless move."

"Since you have the heart to fight, how can the Chu army win?" Song Yu didn't feel a little annoyed, and her tone was slightly aggravated, and there was a layer of angry ripples in her always indifferent eyes.

This is the first time Qiu Yao saw Song Yu so excited, even if it was a little excitement.

"Before that, Chu Jun's morale was boosted, and the ending was not the same?" Jingchao was also a little angry. He was not happy that Song Yu mentioned these to Qiu Yao. At present, he criticized himself so mercilessly, and his displeasure was naturally higher.

"Wait, if you want to leave Yingcheng, I won't leave this time anyway."

"I'm the main battle."

"I don't want to surrender!" Jingcha almost shouted at Song Yu, "Do you want all the royal families in the State of Chu to be buried together?"

Song Yu sneered and did not answer the question of Jingdi directly, but turned her eyes to Qiu Yao, who was beside her, "What about you? Do you want to go with him or stay with me?"
