Ye Qingwan stumbled and bumped all the way, and finally returned to the door of the room.
Liu Sheng stopped at the door and said, "Go back and have a good sleep. Your eyes are red from staying up all night."
Although he said so, he was unwilling to let go. Instead, he tightened his grip. After a long time, he let go and smiled faintly: "Go in."
"Well, Master, you should also go to bed early." Ye Qingwan said, and then took two steps forward. Suddenly, she heard a voice: "I'm sorry."
Ye Qingwan was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked at him, somewhat confused.
Liu Sheng didn't explain, but said with red eyes and a hoarse voice: "I won't do it again, I promise."
After being stunned for a while, Ye Qingwan realized that he might talk about using her again, so she smiled brightly at him: "Okay, I'll remember that."
Liu Sheng suddenly rushed over and hugged her, tightening his arms and holding her very tightly.
Ye Qingwan stood stiffly, letting him hold her for a long time. Suddenly, she felt a few drops of warm liquid dripping down her collar and onto her neck.
"Too..." She realized that these were his tears.
He cried?!
He must feel aggrieved too.
Although he was less than 30 years old, he was responsible for the lives of thousands of Dayu's people and the honor and disgrace of the Liu family.
For Dayu and the people, he personally ordered the execution of 100,000 rebels. When he made this decision, he must have been very sad and terrified, right?
She was so frightened by the sight of tens of thousands of corpses and rivers of blood that she couldn't sleep all night.
As the person who ordered their killing, he must have been under tremendous psychological pressure.
But no one cared about his feelings, no one cared whether he was scared, sad, or whether he dared to sleep.
Everyone just thinks that he is cold-blooded, ruthless, cunning, and they are afraid of him and think that he is a sinister villain who stirs up trouble.
But he is just an ordinary person, he has a heart of flesh and blood, he can also feel sad, heartbroken, and afraid.
Ye Qingwan reached out and gently stroked his back, comforting him: "It's okay, it's all over."
Liu Sheng tightened his grip slightly, then loosened it. When she looked at him again, he had regained his usual gentleness and modesty, without a single flaw. He smiled and said, "Go in."
"Okay." Ye Qingwan turned around and looked back at him again, making sure that he was still smiling at her before she walked in.
Liu Sheng stood outside the house for a long time, and only turned back after making sure she had rested.
When he got back to his residence, he asked someone to get a large bucket of hot water, held his breath, and immersed himself in the hot water. Only in this way could he relax his tense nerves.
He held his breath for a long time, so long that he felt he couldn't breathe anymore. Suddenly, a hand appeared above his head and pulled him out of the water: "What are you crazy about?"
Liu Sheng suddenly came out of the water, gasping for breath. King Xiang was splashed with water and stared at him angrily.
Liu Sheng smiled: "It's just a bath. Can't we take a bath in the military camp?"
King Xiang stared at him doubtfully, then his expression gradually eased: "It's normal to find it hard to accept this kind of thing for the first time. You'll get used to it after a while."
"Your Highness, are you trying to comfort me?" Liu Sheng resumed his usual secretive demeanor: "Are you afraid that I will commit suicide?"
King Xiang rolled his eyes at him and said, "I have eaten too much salt and have nothing to do."
After saying that, he shook off the water on his body and left.
Section 146
But no matter whether Liu Sheng admitted it or not, anyone would be terrified by the idea of killing 100,000 rebels. Think about the first time King Xiang went to the battlefield, he killed only a dozen people and had nightmares for three days after he returned.
So at this moment, whether Liu Sheng is feeling fear, terror, guilt, or other emotional responses, it is all normal.
Killing people is not difficult, but killing 100,000 people at a time is something that even his father probably can't do.
After leaving Liu Sheng's room, King Xiang saw Ye Qingwan standing in the yard waiting for him.
As soon as she saw him, she immediately came forward and said, "Your Highness."
"Not dead." King Xiang said impatiently: "If you want to care about him in the future, go and take care of him yourself. Don't bother me. I have a lot of things to do."
For the first time, Ye Qingwan did not want to beat him up for his venomous tongue. Instead, she thanked him: "Thank you, Your Highness."
She also wanted to go there in person, but wasn't she afraid of putting pressure on the old master? Who wants to be seen as vulnerable?
King Xiang rarely stopped choking her, but patted her on the back of the head and said, "Go back to sleep. There is chaos and disorder in the world, and you are only causing trouble for me."
Ye Qingwan tightened her neck in pain. Damn, this big, rough guy is really using all his strength. It must hurt, right?
Do you know what it means to be gentle and kind to women?
But on second thought, if he was gentle and kind to me, I should be afraid, right? !
Ye Qingwan felt a chill all over her body and ran away.
The war in the south has stabilized. After 100,000 rebels were completely killed, the roving forces from all sides gradually disappeared.
Obviously, the act of killing 100,000 rebels was too shocking, and made those forces that were originally hoping for luck and ready to make another move face up to the reality and no longer dare to act rashly.
King Xiang led an army of 100,000 all the way south to recapture the cities occupied by the rebels, and did not encounter any resistance during the journey.
The Prime Minister, Liu Sheng and the Ninth Prince followed the Emperor's instructions and led the remaining 200,000 troops back to the capital.
This battle ended with Dayu's great victory.
When Ye Qingwan returned to Kyoto, she found that Qingqing was missing. It seemed that she had returned to the sect.
[Although the credit for suppressing the rebels this time goes to the old master. But my father did go there, and the plot is consistent. I just don’t know when the client will come to see my father.]
[After this incident, the Undercurrent was severely damaged, and there will probably be no more riots in the short term. Dayu will finally be able to enjoy some peace for a while.]
[Alas, I suddenly thought of a sentence, there is no such thing as a peaceful life, it’s just that someone is carrying the burden for us. ]
【Peace is precious, we must cherish it. 】
[But then again, Qingqing, where are you? Why haven't you come back yet? You don't want me anymore, do you? If you don't come back, where can I see my six-pack abs? How can I climb up the roof and tear off the tiles? ]
Ning Shaoqing, who was still imprisoned in the sect's stone prison at this time: ...
Deathly look!
You remember me now. I thought you had forgotten your mother because you got married.
You said that this stupid criminal, with hostages in hand, was actually outwitted and completely defeated?
She is such a born idiot. Why didn't her parents give her half a brain when they gave birth to her?
In Ye Qingwan's words, God has spread wisdom all over the world, but only held an umbrella for her.
Besides, you've already lost, why are you still locking me up?
Let me out now, don’t waste my time, I’m in a hurry to climb up the roof and tear off the tiles.
