Although he and the King of Zhou were not soldiers, they were still children after all. In addition, their status was noble, so their rations were not restricted.

However, the two princes had been living a life of luxury since childhood and were not used to such coarse grains. Although they could occasionally eat a piece of bird meat, the amount was too little and not enough.

"No roast goose!" Li Xingzhong said unhappily.

King Zhou sighed in disappointment, sat on the chair and started eating a steamed bun.

Deng Xingwang, the prefect of Daming, also came in at this time. He said respectfully to the two princes, "It is late at night. Your Highnesses, please go back and rest."

"Go back and go to bed early so you don't wake up hungry in the middle of the night." Li Xingzhong kindly reminded.

"No hurry! Anyway, I am a dying man, and I would rather see you. You are all loyal ministers and generals of the Ming Dynasty. You should have been killing enemies and making meritorious deeds on the battlefield, but you are trapped here to save me. I am the one who harmed you!" King Zhao suddenly said this.

Li Xingzhong's eyes suddenly became moist.

If King Zhao was an adult, Li Xingzhong would only sigh but not be moved.

But Prince of Zhao Zhu Chang? He was just a twelve-year-old boy, yet he was so calm in the face of impending death.

So tragic.

"King Zhao, you are too serious!" Li Xingzhong closed his eyes and quickly calmed down his emotions. "As a general, I forget my family when I receive an order and I forget my body when I face the enemy. I am proud to die on the battlefield."

King Zhao blinked, shook his head and sighed.

King Zhou continued to gnaw on his steamed buns and eat pigeon meat.

Deng Xingwang, the prefect of the Ming Dynasty, stood up and personally poured a cup of tea for Li Xingzhong: "General Li, I would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine."

“Done!”

As soon as I poured the tea into my mouth, I heard hurried footsteps outside.

Then, a Ming soldier ran in holding a torch and said, "Your Excellency the General, there is a man named Fang Dahong who said he came here to deliver a letter under the order of Jingnan Earl Huang Degong. He has been pulled up to the city wall in a hanging basket and is being taken to the government office."
