Chapter 216: History Book Sealed
Returning to the Dai Viet military camp, even though it is not a familiar place, familiar battle uniforms are everywhere.
Bei Jingchu finally felt at ease, and even had tears in her eyes.
Someone was calling her from a distance: "Your Highness!" Changyan and Haoyue ran over.
After not seeing each other for a long time, the little girls were worried and missed each other.
Chang Yan saw the scar on Bei Jingchu's face and exclaimed: "Your Highness, you...your face..."
Haoyue covered Changyan's mouth and changed the subject considerately: "Your Highness is frightened. We have asked someone to prepare hot water and refreshments. Your Highness should take a bath to relieve your fatigue first."
Lei Ning came over from behind and said, "You have suffered."
Bei Jingchu asked him to stand up quickly, and before he could stand up straight, she said, "General, Nian'er is still inside. I'll tell you where they are. Send someone to pick them up immediately."
"Your Highness Bing, thanks to your protection, Nian'er was found by us first and has been settled."
That's good.
"Are Xu Shaoqing and Mo Qingjun all right?"
Lei Ning replied: "His life is safe."
"I am glad that Your Highness is alright. I still need to command and dispatch. I will report the specifics to Your Highness after the battle is won."
When Lei Ning was about to leave, Bei Jingchu asked, "General, my former mother-in-law was also in Texas and got separated from me."
"Please ask someone to look for her again."
"Yes, sir."
After giving the instructions, Bei Jingchu went to take a bath.
She couldn't be clean during the days of hiding, and she felt like she was rotten.
She washed herself carefully in the makeshift tent, the bright moon outside piercing her forehead.
"Can you speak?"
"Your Highness's face has been damaged, and your mood is bad enough, and you are still shocked."
"We need to be more stable and not take this seriously. Your Highness will be influenced by us and not take those injuries seriously."
"Do you know?"
Changyan put his hands in his pockets and nodded obediently, like a grandson being scolded.
Bei Jingchu packed up and called a military doctor to treat the minor wounds on her body.
Afterwards, he did not rest and kept looking for Lei Nian'er.
The advantage of returning to her own territory is that she doesn't have to walk by herself, and people will carry her wherever she goes.
The voice of Lei Ning talking to Lei Nian'er came from her tent.
"The war is more important. Aye is too busy to spare time to come and see me. It's normal."
"Nian'er understands this point."
"Besides, the one treating the wound is a military doctor, so even if Aye comes, it will be useless."
This is the truth, and Lei Ning himself thinks so too.
But why does it feel a bit awkward when it's said so bluntly?
It seems like he is a useless father.
After the notification, Bei Jingchu went in.
"General, is the war in Texas over?"
Lei Ning replied, "Your Highness, Dezhou has been captured and someone has been sent to your tent to report the good news. I think Your Highness missed it."
Lei Ning continued to apologize: "I was concerned about my daughter and did not go to Your Highness to greet her in time. Your Highness, please forgive me."
"Uh-huh."
Bei Jingchu responded perfunctorily, without even looking at Lei Ning, and rushed straight towards Lei Nian'er on the bed.
"Nian'er——"
"Your Highness."
"I heard you were injured. How about Xin'er? Is she okay?"
Perhaps because she knew the relationship between herself and Bei Jingchu after the hardships, Lei Nian'er was too lazy to stand up and salute.
He just lazily lay on the bed, holding Bei Jingchu's hand, and said, "Your Highness has led most of the people away, and only a few who want to pick up the spoils have gone down to the cellar."
"I took care of them all, with some bruises on my body."
"Don't worry, they are just minor injuries."
Lei Ning added: "Yes, the leg is broken, it's just a minor injury."
Lei Nian'er: ...
For some reason, the two little girls looked so sticky and greasy that Lei Ning, as their father, felt annoyed.
It’s an illusion. It must be an illusion.
After the victory, the situation was reversed.
The general Tu Ning, who originally wanted to capture her and had only met her once, became a captured prisoner.
The man tied up and kneeling in front was the commander-in-chief of the attack on Dezhou and the culprit who ordered the massacre.
But Bei Jingchu didn't have time to take care of them for the time being. The most important thing now was to find A Yu.
Just as she turned around to leave, a reminder sound appeared in her head.
[Ding~Important item detected.]
Important props...
She looked around carefully, searching every place nearby.
Haoyue asked: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"Take that thing off his neck for me."
The thin rope around Marshal Tu Ning's neck was broken directly, and he groaned.
A piece of beautiful jade was handed to Bei Jingchu, it was the peace locket she had lost.
A thief is a thief. When he sees something good, he can't wait to take it for himself.
When Bei Jing first got the system, she had no time to comfort its sadness and went to check for news about Yu Mama first.
But Ah Yu is not an important person, so the system will not remind him specifically.
Her news was buried in the dense intelligence, and no one knew where it was in some inconspicuous corner.
She couldn't turn over in a short time.
While searching the system, a soldier came to report: "Your Highness, it seems that the person you are looking for has been found."
"Whether it is or not, go and see for yourself."
Why do you need to acknowledge it?
Can't you just ask her?
Bei Jingchu already had the answer in her heart.
But when she actually met him in person, she still couldn't accept it.
"Your Highness, I am in deep sorrow."
My condolences! How can I express my condolences?
If someone dies of old age without any illness, you can still comfort yourself and mourn.
But all that was left of her was a skull.
Bei Jingchu reached out towards the familiar face, but the corpse still had an expression of hideous pain on its face.
She couldn't even imagine what she had been through.
[Even criminals beheaded by executioners don’t feel this much pain before they die.]
[Why should a woman who has never done anything wrong and just wants to live a peaceful and stable life be tortured to death?]
In Haoyue's memory, the princess's voice was always light-hearted and cunning.
This is the first time, I screamed at the top of my lungs.
Why didn't she say it? Did she not have the energy to say it?
She saw His Highness holding the terrifying head in his arms, and it seemed as if all her strength had been drained away.
She lowered her head, leaving only her thin shoulders, trembling slightly.
Haoyue mustered up the courage to pat her shoulder and advised, "Your Highness, if you want to cry, just cry."
Bei Jingchu raised her head and closed her eyes tightly, "Why are you crying? I can't cry."
She spoke weakly, like a sapling that had lost its vitality.
These ten days of blood and despair were summed up in just four words by the historian: "The Ten Days in Texas."
The massacre of an entire city ended with only one description: "living beings turned to charcoal."
It floats lightly on the ground, and is soaked into the paper by ink for future generations to appreciate.
