Chu Li is dead.
Chu Yeli turned and walked into the night, his steps staggering and his back faltering. He swayed for several steps and only managed to avoid falling by holding onto a tree trunk.
Tuoba Mingyue had never seen him like this before.
She had known Chu Yeli since childhood and knew that he was a rational and calm person with a strong sense of the overall situation. He just couldn't accept the reality that he had killed Chu Li with his own hands.
He needs some time to calm down.
Go and accept it.
There is no wound in this world that cannot be healed by time.
Hurt is just hurt, but people have to return to reality.
"Princess, should we let them go?" asked the deputy general.
Tuoba Mingyue retracted his gaze: "Don't let go!"
Chu Yeli had lost his mind, and she had to take care of things for him.
"But don't hurt them."
She walked towards Chu Dichi and said, "Regent of Great Chu, let's cease fire. As long as you give me the southern border and the 28 cities in the three states of Mohuai, I will allow you to bring her body back to Great Chu, and we will cease fire for 50 years to achieve peace between the two countries."
otherwise……
He can't leave.
Chu Li's body must also be left in Nanman.
Her father has high hopes for her, so she must not act on her emotions.
She is not Chu Yeli, who is not so easy to talk to. War is war, and being able to be so magnanimous is already her greatest magnanimity.
Chu Dichi hugged Chu Li tightly, his eyes broken, "Okay."
make a deal.
truce.
The southern border, the three states of Mo and Huai and the twenty-eight cities were ceded to the Nanman.
-
After Chu Dichi brought Chu Li back to southern Xinjiang, he never visited her again.
She was lying in the cold coffin. He gave the order to return to the imperial capital, then rode his horse in front, with the coffin following behind, without even turning his head.
No look, no approach.
It's like it never happened.
Qin Muyu followed the golden nanmu coffin, his crimson eyes like a rabbit, holding the coffin and following closely:
"Ahri, sleep well."
"Ahri, we're going home."
"Let's go home... You like to eat sweet cakes and play with crickets... I'll buy them all for you... Ahri, sleep well, have a safe journey..."
He burst into tears, and the hatred in his heart almost reached its peak.
Nanman!
Chu Yeli!
Tuoba Mingyue!
He will definitely avenge her!
He will definitely take back the lost territory and bring Chu Yeli to her grave to pay off her crime with a life!
In the team, sorrow was like the wind, penetrating every pore and permeating deeply everywhere. Since ancient times, marching and fighting, dying on the horse's hide, was tragic and heroic. The soldiers mourned for their compatriots who died in battle.
Therefore, they did not know that in one of the coffins, the new emperor of Great Chu, Chu Li, was lying.
Chu Dichi rode his horse in the front, his back looking as cold and broad as usual.
Others may not know, but Chongfeng and Jingying are the most worried.
The master is very sad.
For two days, he didn't eat, drink, or speak. He didn't even come to see the Ninth Prince, nor did he get close to her coffin.
I feel more timid as I get closer to home.
He didn't dare to come, nor did he dare to look.
-
Southern Barbarian Camp.
After the war, the soldiers were busy cleaning the battlefield, burying the dead, and treating the wounded. However, Tuoba Mingyue was most worried about Chu Yeli.
It's been two days.
He was sitting in the tent, seemingly the same as usual, and looked no different, but he was still flipping through the pages of a book that he had read dozens of times.
I asked him to stop looking for it, but he said he wanted to cook.
He cut a potato over and over again, and almost finished cutting two large baskets of potatoes, but he was still cutting.
I asked him to stop cutting, and he said he wanted to make tea.
The fire is burning and the water is surging.
The water boiled, and then it rolled out, and more water was added to boil, and the fire was lit to make it boil...
Repeat this process.
Tuoba Mingyue couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she rushed over to stop him, "Brother Yeli, wake up! How long are you going to be so decadent!"
In this life, is this the only thing he can do for Chu Li?
He still has a country and he wants to restore it.
What's more, he didn't mean to cause Chu Li's death.
"This morning, the guards reported that they have already set off back to the imperial capital!"
Chu Yeli's eyes were unfocused, "I replied... OK, OK, I replied, I'm fine, I'm really fine."
"Brother Yeli."
"I'm fine, the wound doesn't hurt, I'm not hungry, I'm fine, it's okay."
He brushed her off, walked out blankly, picked up the sword and chopped at the training stake.
He can't sit still.
Even late at night, he was still busy moving around, either reading or making tea; either practicing swordplay or riding a horse.
From morning to night.
From late night till dawn.
For two whole days and two nights, he didn't close his eyes or stop.
Tuoba Mingyue's eyes turned red, "You just can't let go..."
He still has an injury on his shoulder. If he continues like this, how can his body bear it?
Is he going to torture himself to death?
If she could get this much care from him, she would rather be the one to die.
"Princess, the regent of Great Chu is indeed honest. He signed a fifty-year peace treaty and ordered the garrisons of the twenty-eight cities in the three states of Southern Xinjiang and Mohuai to withdraw their troops." The guard reported.
Tuoba Mingyue suppressed the compassion in his heart and said:
"Order General Zhang to lead a thousand men to station in the southern border, and Master Li and Deputy General Wang to lead five thousand men to march into Mohuai and occupy the territory. We will also hang the flags of our Southern Barbarians in all the twenty-eight cities in the three states of Mohuai."
"yes!"
The guards were loud.
The three states of Mo, Huai and Nanjiang are connected, located in the south of Chu State, and account for almost one-third of the territory of Chu State.
Tuoba Mingyue's mind was slightly moved: "Someone come."
"Immediately spread the news to the State of Chu, saying that the regent of the Great Chu unconditionally gave up one-third of the territory of the State of Chu for a woman."
Once this news comes out, the whole Chu State will be shocked.
From the officials to the common people, everyone will question, spit on and blame the regent.
fatuous.
A source of trouble.
In this way, the power of the regent will be shaken and the State of Chu will fall into greater chaos.
By then, she will have the Wu Gu Army and one-third of the territory in her hands, and it will be just a matter of time before she takes the opportunity to swallow up the State of Chu!
My father said that women can also achieve great things just like men, and women are no less capable than men.
My father said that she is the future heir of Nanman.
She will use her actions to prove to those who doubt her that she is no worse than men!
-
In the deep and quiet night.
The thick smell of blood still permeated the air, lingering in the military camp for a long time. Chu Yeli, who had not slept for five days and five nights, finally fell down.
He fell down in the woods where no one could see him and hid himself.
Just like a wounded beast, he didn't want anyone to see his most vulnerable side, so he hid deeply.
"Fifth brother, look what I brought you today, a shadow puppet!"
"This is something unique to Shanyuan. Look, they can dance on the screen. You can watch shadow puppets when you are bored."
"Fifth brother, this is the red date sweet cake made by my mother. I brought a piece for you to try."
"Fifth brother, the crabapple blossoms in the yard are blooming. I'll push you over to take a look."
"Fifth brother..."
Chu Yeli fell to the ground, his hands grasping the ground tightly. In the lonely night, he finally couldn't hold back his tears:
"Xiao Jiu!"
