Chapter 98 Fear
Sikou Lanfeng didn't dare to delay and hugged Song Huaixi in front of him. They galloped along the road, with the sound of horse hooves stirring up clouds of yellow sand.
The desolate scenery of the desert was gradually left behind, and the sounds of fighting on the front line gradually faded away with the howling wind in the desert.
Everything happened too fast, and Song Huaixi didn't have time to figure out the whole story with his not-so-bright brain. The person had already been brought by Sikou Lanfeng to the tent where Zhao Fangye's personal army was stationed.
In the tent, Lin Rugui sat on a chair with an uneasy look on his face, his pair of red eyes looking outside the tent from time to time. Zhao Qionghuan stayed by her side and comforted her.
Song Zigen and Song Lianyu were also pacing anxiously in the room.
As soon as they received the news that Song Huaixi was kidnapped, they rushed here from the city without stopping. During the two days of waiting, their hearts almost jumped into their throats.
When they heard the neighing of horses outside the tent, everyone in the family was startled and looked outside the tent.
Song Lianyu had sharp eyes and saw two people riding horses through the tent at a glance. He shouted hurriedly: "It's Huai Xi! General Lan Feng is back with Huai Xi!"
"Huai Xi is back!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed forward to greet him. Seeing Song Huaixi still sitting on the horse safely, everyone felt relieved.
Seeing this, Sikou Lanfeng quickly got off the horse, helped Song Huaixi off the horse, and said to everyone, "Don't worry, the princess is fine. She just got a little scared."
As soon as Song Huaixi landed, everyone immediately gathered around him.
"Huai Xi, you're finally back." Zhao Qionghuan circled around him and said, "We were all so worried. Did they give you any trouble? Let your sister-in-law take a look to see if you're injured."
Lin Rugui's eyes were filled with tears. She held Song Huaixi's hand and looked at his slightly messy hair. Her tone was full of heartache and relief. "My son and mother were so worried. Fortunately, you are okay. God bless you."
"You despicable villain! How could a general of a country do such a despicable thing!" Seeing that Song Huaixi was not injured, Song Lianyu turned and angrily scolded General Xiao.
"Thank you, General Lanfeng." Song Zigen was relieved to see that Song Huaixi was not seriously injured, and thanked Sikou Lanfeng.
"There is no need to be so polite, Lord Song." Sikou Lanfeng replied.
Although there were no obvious scars on Song Huaixi's body. But he looked disheveled and his expression became a little dull. Her eyes then fell on his red wrist, and Lin Rugui couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes.
The heart in her chest seemed to be still trembling continuously, and she really didn't dare to think about it. What would she do if the situation got worse?
"Good boy, it's okay. It's okay." Lin Rugui reached out and touched Song Huaixi's face and comforted him softly.
Seeing that everyone had worried looks on their faces, Song Huaixi seemed to realize it belatedly. He slowly forced a smile from his dull face and said, "Huai Xi is fine, don't worry."
As if to prove something, he turned around in front of everyone, his tone childish: "Look, Huaixi is really not injured."
Seeing his actions, everyone felt sad for a moment. At this moment, the child’s first thought was not to express his grievances and fears. Instead, he comforted those who were worried about him.
This scene almost made Lin Rugui's tears, which she had managed to control, burst out. Fortunately, she managed to hold it back and didn't lose her composure.
Lin Rugui held Song Huaixi's hand and said with a choked voice: "Are you hungry, Huaixi? Mommy will cook you something delicious?"
He really hadn't eaten anything, and his stomach had been rumbling for a long time. He nodded happily when he heard this: "Okay! I'm so hungry!"
"Okay, Huaixi, go change your clothes first. Mom will come when she's ready." As she said that, Lin Rugui called Chunhua and Chaolu and asked them to take Song Huaixi to wash and pack.
Seeing that Song Huaixi had completed his mission, Sikou Lanfeng jumped on the horse, pulled the reins and said to everyone, "Since the princess has been delivered, I will leave first."
Song Zigen bowed to her and asked, "Thank you, General Lanfeng. I wonder how the battle situation is at the front?"
"Don't worry, Lord Song. The prince has his own plan." After saying that, he stretched out his hand and raised the whip. The figure disappeared gracefully and cleanly in the yellow sand.
At the same time, the fighting situation on the front line was extremely tragic. Zhao Fangye's army was unstoppable and seemed to have no one around.
Compared with the elite troops of Zhao Fangye who had been fighting at the border for many years and crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The troops sent by the court, who received military pay but did nothing, had not experienced war for a long time and only knew how to indulge in pleasure, were nothing but good-for-nothings.
Faced with a well-trained army, they were powerless to resist. The only thing they could do was to become the victim of Zhao Fangye's army.
In addition, General Xiao, the leader of the army, was killed. The entire army was leaderless and in disarray, like a headless fly.
Before they set out with the army, they all thought that they would not fight the rebels for long. Moreover, compared with Zhao Fangye's army, their army had the advantage in numbers. They didn't expect that this battle would be a life-and-death battle for them.
In a moment, blood flowed like a river, and the sound of the murderous wind was mixed with painful wails. The yellow sand of the desert was gradually dyed red by blood.
On this day, General Xiao and his tens of thousands of troops were buried in the yellow sand of the desert. From then on, there appeared a group of lonely ghosts who could not be reincarnated in the vast frontier.
Zhao Fangye rode his horse up the sand dunes, and the tragic battlefield reflected a hint of crimson in his pale eyes. The whistling and mournful wind blew his hair into the air, and the gradually lengthening afterglow of the desert cast a golden glow on his hair.
The subordinate felt an indescribable sense of loneliness when he saw his own prince standing on his horse. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has buried the bodies on the spot according to your instructions. Do you want to order the army to return to the camp now?"
"Go back to camp." Zhao Fangye looked at the afterglow in the sky with indifference in his eyes.
The change of dynasties is bound to result in mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Just regard it as the final pain of a corrupt dynasty.
In the tent, Song Huaixi changed into clean clothes. He opened his mouth and took the dish that Chunhua picked for him, chewing it until his cheeks were bulging.
He looked at Lin Rugui beside him and said with a smile: "It's delicious!"
Hearing his answer, Lin Rugui held Song Huaixi's wrist and applied medicine to him, saying lovingly: "Silly child! If it tastes good, eat more! Mom will make more for you."
She gently stroked his red wrist with her fingers, and her heart was filled with bitterness. He raised his eyes and saw Song Huaixi, who was enjoying his meal.
I sighed in my heart: It's true that fools have good fortune.
If someone else had experienced such a thrilling experience. How could I eat? It's understandable that I would be seriously ill for three days and three nights.
I noticed that Lin Rugui was looking at her wrist thoughtfully, and I thought she was feeling sorry for me. Song Huaixi stopped eating and moved his wrist to comfort her: "Mom, I'm not in pain."
"I know, you'll comfort me." Seeing that the medicine was almost finished, Lin Rugui touched the top of his head and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early after eating."
"I understand, mother." Song Huaixi looked up at her and answered obediently.
Lin Rugui touched his head again with a loving expression on his face, then walked out of the tent.
After the servants left, Song Huaixi looked at the red marks on his hands. The obedience on her face was gone, and fear hit her heart like a boomerang.
