Chapter 389: Life is gone
"Your Highness, this time, while attacking the Kingdom of Li, the Wo Lie army suddenly launched an attack on our border.
"I have already sent several urgent reports three months ago, begging the court to send generals. I wonder if Your Majesty has received them?" Chen Guangze asked.
Zhao Haoxuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Father hasn't received it yet. If he had, he would have definitely consulted with me!"
"Damn it..." Chen Guangze couldn't help but yelled: "Border documents are usually reported to the Weiwei,
As for the official of the Imperial Guard, I remember that he was promoted by Prince Yu. I never thought that Prince Yu...what exactly does he want to do? Is he planning a rebellion?
At this time, Zhou Yunxi stood up and said, "General, I don't know whether Prince Yu is planning a rebellion or not!
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was nearly poisoned to death while in the Heavenly Prison. The Second Prince is disabled, and the Third Prince is young, so the ultimate beneficiary…"
"No matter who becomes the emperor in the future, they must not treat the lives of border commanders as a joke, nor should they disregard the lives of ordinary people..."
After a general in the crowd shouted, everyone else joined in and became very angry.
Zhao Haoxuan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone, please calm down. This is all just speculation at the moment. The Emperor's uncle's exact purpose in this action requires further investigation."
"Your Highness, now that Commander Yin is dead, the Wo Lie army should not attack for the time being.
But the war in Li Kingdom is urgent, and Prince Yu has sent experts to hunt you down.
"I'm worried about your safety, Your Highness. Could I take your place on the trip to Li Country?" Chen Guangze asked, clasping his fists.
"General, don't worry. As long as the Emperor's uncle doesn't come personally, his men won't be able to harm me for the time being!"
Only after hearing this did Chen Guangze feel relieved.
Late at night, everything was quiet. Wang Xinyao and Zhao Haoxuan were getting ready for bed when suddenly, there were three soft knocks on the door.
Zhao Haoxuan became alert and asked in a low voice, "Who?"
"Your Highness, it's me!"
This is Zhou Yunxi's voice.
Zhao Haoxuan felt relieved and got up to open the door.
After the door opened, Zhou Yunxi was seen standing outside, followed closely by a man dressed in ordinary soldier's clothes.
Zhao Haoxuan looked closely and felt that the face seemed familiar. Just as he was about to look at it carefully, the soldier suddenly raised his head and met his eyes.
"Imperial sister..." Zhao Haoxuan was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Wang Xinyao also looked surprised.
The person who came was Zhao Mei'er. She smiled slightly and bowed to Zhao Haoxuan: "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wang Xinyao quickly stepped forward, took Zhao Mei'er's hand, and asked with concern, "Royal sister, why are you with General Zhou?"
Zhao Meir then told everything about how she had been hiding in Zhou Yunxi's house.
After hearing this, Wang Xinyao said distressedly, "Royal sister, why are you wearing ordinary soldier's clothes? This is so unsafe! Otherwise, you should stay with me and the prince."
Zhao Meier shook her head and politely declined, "Xinyao, thank you for your kindness.
They won't give up looking for me easily, and I'll be safer hiding in the army."
Seeing this, Zhao Haoxuan couldn't force it any further and could only advise, "Royal sister, you must be careful! If there is anything you need help with, just let us know."
Zhao Meir smiled and nodded, indicating that she would take good care of herself.
After chatting for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, the army officially set out for Li State, and as soon as they entered Li State.
The fields of Li Country were barren, the fertile land was overgrown with weeds, and the crops were left unattended.
Most of the farmhouses were burned or destroyed, and ruins can be seen everywhere.
The villagers lost their homes and could only barely find some shelter from the wind and rain in the ruins.
The road was full of traces of war, with potholes and scattered with various weapon fragments and war waste.
The river may be dyed red with blood, and the water source may be polluted, affecting the normal life and drinking of the villagers.
The people were displaced and fled everywhere. Many people died of starvation, disease or were killed by the rebel army during their escape.
Those who were still alive were pale and thin, half-naked, and their eyes were filled with fear and despair.
The original poultry and livestock in the countryside were either frightened away or scattered by the war.
Or they were plundered by the army, causing the rural areas to lose important means of production and sources of livelihood.
The entire countryside was shrouded in silence and sadness, and the former tranquility and vitality were gone.
"Help..." This miserable cry for help seemed to penetrate the human soul and make people shudder.
As we got closer to Li Country, such screams became more and more frequent.
Wang Xinyao's worries grew heavier. She led the medical team and walked quickly, not daring to delay for even a moment.
Along the way, they met many injured people from the Li Kingdom.
Some had hideous wounds and were bleeding; some had pale faces and were breathing weakly.
Wang Xinyao and her team quickly started the rescue work. They used their skilled medical skills and warm care to try their best to alleviate the pain of the injured.
However, during this difficult journey, they not only had to face the challenge of treating the wounded, but also had to deal with the threat of the Wo Lie army.
When they encountered a small group of Wo Lie's army, Xie Xiaogang and others rushed forward without hesitation.
They were agile and quick, and they defeated the enemy with lightning speed.
When the army arrived at the city of Yundu in Li Kingdom, Yundu had already been occupied by the Wolie army.
