Chapter 423: Forever Defending Great Chu
Zhao Qingcheng, ***, Liu Ruge and others surrounded Chen Changan and Xiang Yingyu who had just been rescued, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Zhao Qingcheng's eyes were red. She looked at the two people covered in bruises, her heart filled with heartache. Tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string, and she choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
*** burst into tears.
She held Chen Changan's hand tightly, as if she would lose it again if she let go.
Liu Ruge occupied Jianan alone. Recalling that thrilling scene, her heart was broken!
Chen Changan was holding Liu Ruge in his arms and couldn't breathe. He could only shake his head and said, "Don't use too much force. I'm injured... Oh, come and check on Xiang Yingyu. How is she?"
***Then he remembered Xiang Yingyu, took his sister's hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Imperial Physician, quick, Imperial Physician!"
"Sister, you finally remembered me. I thought your mind was full of Chen Changan."
Xiang Yingyu pouted her lips, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, Chang'an was injured...ah!"
With the light, Xiang Yingyu could finally see clearly this time. Chen Changan's back was horribly blown apart, his clothes were torn to pieces, and the exposed skin was covered with hideous wounds and bloodstains, and in some places one could even see the rolled up flesh.
The originally broad back now looked as if it had been ravaged by a demon, making it unbearable to look at.
His legs were also in a bad condition. Blood continued to seep out from the wounds, staining his trouser legs red and leaving shocking bloodstains on the ground.
Chen Changan just smiled softly. It was a miracle in itself that two people were still alive after such a large-scale explosion.
After all, Chen Changan was worried about Xiang Yingyou's health, so he accepted the treatment only after he had settled her down.
There were so many injured parts on his body. After applying the medicine, Chen Changan finally fell into a deep sleep.
He was awakened by the pain in the middle of his sleep, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Chen Lang, how are you? Are you in pain?"
Zhao Qingcheng was right beside him, and seeing the cold sweat on Chen Changan's forehead due to pain, she spoke with concern.
Chen Changan shook his head vigorously: "It doesn't hurt, just... well, it's a little itchy."
"You're lying. The imperial physician said that it hurts the most when the skin and flesh grow." Zhao Qingcheng bit her teeth and shook her head, saying, "The emperor has been here. He's very curious, why are you so badly injured, but Xiang Yingyu is basically uninjured?"
Chen Changan grinned awkwardly. Why else could it be? Of course, it was because he had taken the pain for her.
"No matter what, it's good that Princess Ning'an is not injured... But now the army is about to set out, and I am injured. When can I go to the battle?"
Zhao Qingcheng did not comment: "Chen Lang, you are in this state, and you still want to go to the war? Yesterday I told my brother that you will not go to the war with Xixia this time, and my brother agreed."
Chen Changan moved his lips, shook his head and said, "No, I have already promised my brothers, how can I not go?"
"Forget it. I can't be a person who doesn't keep his word. If I don't go, Chen Fusheng shouldn't dare to cause trouble. Qingcheng, you are my wife. Can I... tell you what's in my heart?"
Chen Changan spoke solemnly, and Zhao Qingcheng nodded.
Chen Changan took a deep breath and said, "Then come up and remember everything I say to you."
Chen Changan pointed to his arms, and Zhao Qingcheng looked outside the door. Since this man was her husband, there was nothing wrong with sleeping with him.
Holding Zhao Qingcheng's charming body in his arms, Chen Changan spoke seriously.
"After I leave, I will leave the young man you trained to you. You should always keep an eye on the movements of the Zhennan Army..."
"If the battle at the border is unexpected, I suspect Chen Fusheng will rise up and cause chaos, so be careful."
"Also, you can deploy defenses like this along the way..."
Chen Changan told Zhao Qingcheng a lot, probably all about some of the methods that Chen Fusheng might have used in his rebellion in his previous life.
Zhao Qingcheng memorized them all in her mind until dawn.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Just after Chen Changan finished talking to Zhao Qingcheng and was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.
"Ms. sir, are you asleep?"
Liu Ruge walked in slowly. Her delicate face seemed to be carved, her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, and her slightly upturned eyes had a natural charm.
Her eyes are like a pool of autumn water, and under the high nose bridge is a small cherry mouth, which is red without any makeup and is always slightly raised, as if she always has a vague smile.
She is tall, and her exquisite figure is wrapped in an elegant long skirt. The hem of her skirt sways gently when she walks.
"Ms. Liu, you come up too, and let's talk together as husband and wife."
Chen Changan raised his eyebrows and laughed. No one knew what he was thinking about, but he was laughing so hard that he couldn't stop.
Zhao Qingcheng hit Chen Changan and said, "What are you talking about? You slept all night last night, and Liu Ruge stayed with you. Today it's my turn. I didn't expect Liu Ruge to come again."
"Ruge, didn't we agree to replace you with Sun Jingyi today?"
Liu Ruge shook her head and said, "Sun Jingyi has to send money to the court and prepare noodles for the expedition, so she has no time at all. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will accompany my husband."
"Sister Qingcheng, do you... want to sleep with us?"
"It's you. I'm not jealous."
Zhao Qingcheng shook her head and chuckled, but Chen Changan looked confused and said, "Qingcheng, what are you talking about? This, this...what day is today?"
Zhao Qingcheng looked at Liu Ruge strangely, and then said: "It has been three days since you were rescued. You have been in a coma for these three days..."
Chen Changan sat up decisively, not caring about the pain in his body: "Miss Liu, don't stay here, hurry to the military camp!"
"Tell Li Wuling clearly that Chen Changan died from his injuries!"
Zhao Qingcheng was slightly stunned. Liu Ruge didn't want to spread such unlucky words: "Husband, you just talk nonsense. I have consulted the imperial physician for you many times. There is nothing wrong with your foot. What are you talking about whether you will die or not?"
Chen Changan shook his head vigorously, but Zhao Qingcheng was very smart: "Chen Lang, are you trying to trick Prince Jing'an into making another move?"
"I'm not sure if I can lure out Prince Jing'an, but I think this is a good opportunity. We should deal with it before we go to war." Chen Changan said seriously, "Miss Liu, act more authentically when you go to the military camp. On the way back, buy some white silk ribbons and decorate this place like a mourning hall."
"Also, secretly find a craftsman to help me build a four-wheeled vehicle for travel..."
Chen Changan made arrangements one by one, but it was obvious that Liu Ruge could not complete so many tasks by herself.
She and Zhao Qingcheng acted separately. She went to the military camp to report the death, and Zhao Qingcheng bought white cloth and decorated the surroundings to look like a mourning hall, which was very solemn.
Chen Changan fell into a drowsy sleep again until he heard a long howl.
“Brother Chen, Brother Chen!”
Xiao Zhennan's voice was filled with despair, and it was squeezed out from his throat with difficulty, as if it was torn apart.
"How could you just leave like this!"
Xiao Zhennan's shouts echoed in the air, and every word seemed to carry a heavy force.
It hit people's hearts. His eyes were empty and helpless, tears blurred his vision, and kept flowing down his cheeks.
"We have been through so much together, struggled together, laughed together, and faced difficulties together. How could you leave me alone, Brother Chen!"
Xiao Zhennan's voice became increasingly hoarse, and he clenched his hands into fists, trying hard to suppress the pain in his heart.
His body seemed to have lost its strength and was shaky, as if he might fall down at any time.
Xiao Zhennan was so affectionate and loyal that Zhao Qingcheng felt a little embarrassed.
"Master Xiao, don't cry first. Chen Lang, Chen Lang doesn't want to see you like this... Eh? Master Xiao, Master Xiao?"
Zhao Qingcheng was comforting Xiao Zhennan, but saw that Xiao Zhennan was so sad and anxious that he fainted.
"Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, hurry up and send Sir Xiao to the inner hall for treatment. This... ah!"
Zhao Qingcheng rubbed his forehead with a headache. Lord Xiao was just too impatient.
Xiao Zhennan was originally furious, but after the imperial physician's massage, he naturally woke up.
Seeing a bed next to him with Chen Changan lying on it, looking at him with a smile, Xiao Zhennan collapsed even more!
"Brother Chen, you died miserably!"
"The old general is about to go to war, and can't come to see you in person, so he had to order me to come!"
"Brother Chen, your heroic spirit will never die and will forever protect the Chu Kingdom!"
"rest in peace!"
Chen Changan rolled his eyes and laughed, "Master Xiao, I'm not dead yet, how can I protect the Great Chu forever?"
"Gah-"
