It's dawn.

The wind and snow stopped, and the sun shone on my face, which was frozen all night. The almost numb face had a tingling feeling. I reached out and touched my face, and it seemed that I realized that I was still alive.

A great victory.

This battle was won.

In fact, it was not a very important battle. It was just a repelling of several tribes' troops that attacked, and it had little impact on the overall situation. But I knew very well that the victory of this battle was very important to Pei Yuanhao.

This almost foreshadows the impact of the devastating power on the battlefield next.

"Are you tired?"

Pei Yuanhao's very gentle voice rang in his ears.

I shook my head: "I just sat there all night, I'm not tired."

"But I know you're sleepy, but now you can have a good rest."

"What about them?"

"They still have to continue to clean up the battlefield, and I need to find a way to deal with those prisoners."

“…”

I didn't ask him what he planned to do. After all, if he killed the prisoners at this time, it would be of no benefit to him to win Shengjing. He was not a fool, so he should be very clear about this.

I just asked, "When will we go to Shengjing?"

He paused, probably counting the time, and then said, "At least two more days."

"Two days?"

"Yes, there are some maintenance measures to clean up the battlefield and deal with prisoners. In addition, there are some things that they will be transported from Longnan in the future. I plan to wait for them here."

He spoke to me now without any concealment. As soon as I heard it, I realized that what they needed to maintain was the batch of artillery, and some things were transported from Longnan, which might be needed by artillery.

After all, these two days will be spent preparing for the battle.

After all, repelling the attacks of several tribes is not the same as attacking victory in Beijing.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of his army has been exposed this time. Shengkino did not take action last night, so he should have been shocked.

I don't know how they will react.

But no matter what, from Pei Yuanhao's current tone and my understanding of Luo Shi, the battle of Shengjing will definitely be a hard battle.

Even if Pei Yuanhao already possesses such an amazing weapon, he will still hand over that place to the Iron Cavalry King in the future. There is the Iron Face King on the other side of Shengjing, so he cannot really turn the battlefield into a place for slaughter; and with Luo Shi's heart, he will definitely use all his strength to resist.

Pei Yuanhao said, "Let's have a good rest."

“…”

"You look very tired."

I nodded: "Your Majesty, let's take a break, I'm afraid there's really not much time to rest next." Hearing me say this, he seemed a little happy, with joy in his breath, and I returned to the tent with a cane, groped and cleaned for a while, and then lay on the bed.

It's still daylight.

The people who cleaned the battlefield came back one after another, and could hear the chaotic neighing of horses and the shouts of the prisoners. They were heard outside. They finally got used to such noise. When they were about to fall asleep, they heard a dull sound, as if they were about to shake the earth up.

I sighed and opened my eyes wide in a daze.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see anything. There were not many light sources in the tent, and my vision was pitch black. The feeling made it even more difficult to fall asleep. It seemed that a hand was covering my mouth and nose at any time, making me unable to breathe.

I finally sat up.

My mind was a little swollen, but I couldn't sleep anymore, so I sat on the edge of the bed and groped for the dishes on the small table next to me. Some snacks Pei Yuanhao brought to me.

It's hard for him to have such thoughts at this time.

There were walnuts and melon seeds inside. I grabbed those things and slowly placed them on the small table. I used four plates in the center to spell out a city like a city.

Shengjing...

Shengjing's city wall is not solid, and if he attacks with cannon fire, he can actually be taken down very quickly.

But in this case, there may be many deaths and injuries.

Especially with a character like Losche, he will definitely make a desperate attempt when the city is broken.

But if the city is besieged...

It is hard for me to imagine that in such a severe winter when the ice and snow were sealing the sky, because the Iron Cavalry King and the Iron Face King had been fighting against Shengjing before, they should not have much food and grass to store for the winter. With the consumption these days and the tactic of using the Iron Cavalry King to surround and fight support, the tribe that could support them was completely interrupted, and Shengjing became an isolated city.

If you really want to siege... there are probably more people who die than those who are killed and injured with artillery fire.

No matter what, it's not a solution.

If Loche can give up on his own initiative...

Just thinking about this, I couldn't help laughing.

I haven't known Luo Shi for a long time, and I don't like this person either, but I know that his bones are very hard and his mind is very cruel. How could such a person give up on his own initiative?

He will burn both jade and stone.

If there are no other factors, we are facing only these three days of road, and the last one is almost impossible to go.

So, attack? Or siege?

...

I stared at the plates, walnuts and melon seeds on this table for a long time. At about noon, Pei Yuanhao came to my tent, lifted the tent, and immediately said in surprise: "Why are you--"

He hurried over, looked at the messy things on the little restaurant, and said to me, "Are you not sleeping?"

"Can't sleep."

"It is not good for you to stay up late and not resting like this."

"I know, I just can't sleep."

He was silent for a moment, then glanced at the melon seeds and walnuts, and suddenly he seemed to understand something. He reached out to grab the things and put them back on the plate, and then said, "There are these things I have, and so many generals will consider them. What do you want to do?"

I lowered my head and drooped my eyelids with some burnout: "I just hope that I can minimize casualties."

"Whether it's Mr. Huang or someone else."

“…”

"You can have fewer unjust souls in the city of Wudian Death. Your Majesty's journey to ascend the throne will be smoother and faster."

He looked at me for a while and said, "Don't think about it."

I don't know why he thought I was "thinking around", but he didn't say anything. After a while, the servant brought today's meal. I didn't sleep all night and couldn't make up for my sleep in the morning. I was so sleepy that I felt very uncomfortable and naturally had no appetite. But he still forced me to soak half a bowl of rice in hot soup. After eating it hard, my body became much warmer.

Then, I let me lie down and sleep.

This time, I was so sleepy that I didn't even have time to take off my clothes. I just curled up on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, you can still hear the sound of horse hooves rolling in, and the sound of snow foam stirring up by horse hooves spraying onto the tent.

Apart from that, there is nothing left.

Such a simple dream, perhaps not a dream, made me sleep much more peacefully. I slept until late at night without even waking up once. Finally, I slowly woke up from my sleep, and I was naturally awake.

People feel much more comfortable.

I lay on the bed, couldn't help but stretch, and then I touched the crutch. It seemed that I was really sleepy just now, so I put the crutch beside me. Fortunately, I slept very heavily and didn't even turn over, so I didn't touch myself.

I held the crutch in my hand and listened to the movements outside again.

No wonder the dreams are so quiet, because at this time it was probably midnight, just after Yin hour, everyone was sleeping. Only the sound of horses stomping on the ground could be heard in the mangers in the distance. In addition, there was only the sound of wind left.

What a quiet night.

Perhaps, after the war, it is rare for everyone to have such a quiet night so that they can have a good rest.

However, everyone was asleep, but I was the most sober, and it was difficult to go back to sleep. I lay idle on the bed, thinking about whether to go out for a walk, and hesitated and didn't want to get up.

Just when I was in a dilemma, a very light sound came from outside.

Because this night was too quiet and because my eyes were blind, I keenly caught the little bit of subtle sounds. I heard the footsteps of someone and slowly walked to the door of my tent. I thought it was Pei Yuanhao, but when I listened carefully, it didn't look like it.

This footsteps are too cautious.

It's not a sound of unrestrained footsteps.

I couldn't help but frown, and the next moment, I heard the sound of the tent being lifted.

Of course, the tent was pitch black. It was already night when I fell asleep, so I didn't light the lights anymore. The person who lifted the tent couldn't see anything, but I could hear the wind pouring into the tent all at once. With the whistle and whistle, the very small footsteps almost walked to my bed.

At this moment, I opened my eyes suddenly.

At this moment, I almost subconsciously wanted to figure out who was at my bed, but I forgot that I could no longer see it. The moment I opened my eyes, the man let out a rapid breathing sound.

He saw me!

Although the tent was pitch black, there should still be some light outside. There must be soldiers watching the night in the distance. The man walked to the bed and saw me open my eyes at first sight.

"who!?"

I asked in a low voice, and the man turned around and ran out.

His movements were very fast, and I moved faster. I swung the crutch in my hand and hit the darkness. I even hit it. With a dull "bang", the crutch bounced back. The man carried it forcibly, and didn't even make a shout. He heard the footsteps running out and ran away soon.

When he ran out, I had already turned over and got out of bed. Fortunately, I was too sleepy when I was sleeping and didn't even take off my clothes. At this time, I just lived with a cane and ran out.

However, just as I was fumbled and ran out of the tent, I was tripped by a stone under my feet and fell to the ground in a mess.

"ah!"

I screamed in pain, and at this moment, Pei Yuanhao's voice came from the side—

"Qingying, what's wrong with you?"

While he was talking, he had already run over and helped me up from the ground. There was still a lot of snow on the cold ground, which was covered with me. After he helped me stand up, he reached out to pat the snow foam on me and asked me, "Why did you get up? Where did you fall?"

My knees hurt a little, but it wasn't a big deal.

I barely stood firm with my cane, then turned to look at him: "I'm fine."

He said with a nervous tone: "Why are you coming out?"

"His Majesty……"

"Is something wrong?"

My breathing was a little rapid, and I ran out suddenly, and the sudden cold caused me to feel uncomfortable. I gasped for a few seconds and said to him, "When is it now?"

"Three minutes of Yin."

"Oh. Why did Your Majesty come here?"

"I just fell asleep and suddenly felt a little uneasy, so I came out to see you, but I saw you-" He said, paused for a moment, looked up and down again, as if seeing if something happened to me, and then asked again: "What happened? What did you run out to do?"

“…”

I gasped for a few seconds and said, "Nothing."

"It's really nothing?"

"Nothing," I pinched the crutch hard and said, "I just slept for too long and didn't feel comfortable, so I wanted to go out for a walk. I didn't expect it to be early."

“…”

He looked at me for a while, as if he wanted to make sure what I said was true. Then I felt him look up and look around, and then remained silent for a while before saying, "It's really too early. Everyone is still sleeping at this time, and the weather is very cold. You shouldn't come out."

“…”

"Even if you come out, you should call me-" This sentence was not finished. After all, after Su Su left, there was no one serving me around me. Even the emperor, who was the emperor, came to me personally to do something like serving tea and water. If I wanted to call someone, I would not be able to call anyone else.

“…”

"Go back and have a rest."

After saying that, I held my arm, and I didn't say anything, and turned around and walked slowly back into the tent.

After returning, he lit the oil lamp for me.

After this little light appeared in the tent, there was a light in front of me, and I stared blankly at the flashing light source without moving.

Just now, it shouldn't be my illusion.

I just don’t know who it is, but I will run into my tent. I just talked about Pei Yuanhao’s tone, but it was not him.

Of course it wasn't him, and he didn't have to do this at this time.

In this military camp, a war just happened yesterday and brought back many prisoners...

I was thinking intently, Pei Yuanhao sat next to me and looked at me for a while, and then said, "From now on, let's have someone light up the lights all night for you, okay?"
