Chapter 29: Brothers’ Battle (4)
"It's finally about to begin—"
Feng Qinghan and his subordinates stood on the tower again, watching Zhao Ziheng and the others leave. "Well, let me wait and see this battle!"
"Master, do you hope that the winner of this battle will be King Zhao or King Ling?"
"It doesn't matter who it is. Although we can roughly guess that the winner of this battle will become one of our stumbling blocks in the future, and we will inevitably have to fight against him at that time-"
"If that's the case, why doesn't the master take action now?"
"Humph, even though we are certain to win now, it would be too boring if we act that way—"
"yes!"
"Besides, if those guys on the border don't take this opportunity to achieve some results, it would be a waste of my expectations—"
Feng Qinghan's words were probably only understood by his subordinates who had been with him for a long time. Now we could know that from Feng Qinghan's words, he would become Zhao Ziheng's enemy, and a strong one at that...
Zhao Ziheng's offensive movements soon reached Zhao Zixi's ears.
The royal army was also fully prepared to fight.
As the saying goes, when two armies fight, there will be casualties. Faced with the indestructible palace and the interference of heavy rain, the royal army led by Zhao Ziheng suffered heavy casualties...
Before daybreak, the thunderstorm gradually intensified, enough to affect the entire battle. Facing the heavy rain, Wang Jun made the choice to retreat. In fact, it was not just for this reason. As soon as he returned to the garrison, he immediately caused a large commotion...
Zhao Ziheng was hit by a stray arrow and was seriously injured during the battle. This was the main reason why Wang's army had to retreat. No matter what army it was, once the main general got into trouble, the army would be defeated. Fortunately, Zhao Ziyan took the initiative to assume the position of commander-in-chief. Under his command, the enemy discovered and defeated Wang's army. Although Wang's army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, it successfully avoided the most serious consequences!
During the battle, the royal army had not yet discovered that Zhao Ziheng had been shot and wounded, but the news soon reached Zhao Zixi's ears. The royal city was filled with joy, and Zhao Zixi even ordered a celebration banquet...
"According to the situation, we can easily defeat Wang Jun without the help of Han—"
"I heard that the King of Zhao was seriously injured and has been in a coma. The army is also in a state of anxiety. If we take the opportunity to attack, we will be able to defeat them in one fell swoop-"
"Hmph, it seems that my brother's reputation is just like this. I have planned so much. Now it seems that even if I don't have to do it myself, I can easily catch them all. I guess God still thinks that I am the most qualified to be the monarch of the Great Zhao!"
"Congratulations, King Zhao. Congratulations, King Zhao—"
"Long live the emperor—"
All the ministers cheered and completely changed their tune.
"Hahaha--"
Zhao Zixi, sitting on the dragon throne, laughed heartily.
In the pitch-black thunderstorm, inside the palace, which was in the midst of post-war jubilation, a group of dark shadows took advantage of the weak security during the celebration banquet held at the palace to sneak into the palace. They seemed quite skilled in their skills and actions. After sneaking into the palace, the dark shadows scattered in different places...
【Zhonghe Hall】.
The thunderstorm outside was too loud, Qingqing was afraid that it would affect Lin Wei, so she went forward to close the window. As soon as she closed the window, Qingqing's attention was diverted by the door opening . She thought someone would break into Lin Wei's bedroom, but she was surprised to see the person in front of her...
"Your Majesty—"
Qingqing was so frightened that she was speechless and finally called out who the other person was...
Zhao Ziheng, who should have been seriously injured and recuperating in Wang Jun’s camp, suddenly showed up in Lin Wei’s bedroom. He was wearing the black armor that he had seen before, and he didn’t look seriously injured as people said. Instead, it would be more appropriate to say that he was unharmed, which was more in line with Zhao Ziheng’s current situation.
"Where's the Queen?"
"Inside——"
Zhao Ziheng spoke coldly, Qingqing trembled and pointed behind the screen and answered. After hearing the answer, Zhao Ziheng walked into the inside of the screen without hesitation...
"Weier——"
Walking into the back of the screen, Zhao Ziheng saw Lin Wei lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her lips bloodless, her eyes tightly closed. Looking at Lin Wei like this, Zhao Ziheng moved his trembling feet to the bedside...
"Since that incident, the queen has not eaten, drunk, or slept for the past few days. She finally fell asleep not long ago—"
Qingqing, who was standing outside the screen, explained Lin Wei's situation to Zhao Ziheng through the screen. Although Zhao Ziheng knew about Lin Wei's situation, he didn't know that Lin Wei would be so seriously injured that she tortured herself like this...
"Vell, eh?"
Reaching out to touch Lin Wei's face while she was sleeping, Zhao Ziheng was shocked to find that Lin Wei's body temperature was very abnormal. After repeated confirmation...
"It's so hot, does she have a high fever?"
"Eh? Well, there was a little while ago. It seems that the Queen fell asleep after she got a little fever--"
Zhao Ziheng was shocked to hear Qingqing's words, because he knew that it was not because Lin Wei fell asleep, but because she was unconscious. After realizing this, Zhao Ziheng was stunned...
"Weier, wake up, Weier——"
No one could bear not eating, drinking, or sleeping for a few days like this. If a person fell into a coma due to a high fever, the situation would be very dangerous. Zhao Ziheng realized this and shook Lin Wei gently, trying to wake her up...
"Weier, Weier——"
Zhao Ziheng's call was not in vain. Lin Wei gradually regained consciousness. At Zhao Ziheng's call, Lin Wei opened her eyes with difficulty. In the dim light, Lin Wei saw the familiar face that appeared in front of her. She pulled the corners of her lips with difficulty and smiled: "Your Majesty——"
"It's me, are you awake?"
Seeing Lin Wei making a weak sound and slightly opening her eyes, Zhao Ziheng excitedly helped Lin Wei up and sat down so that Lin Wei could lean on his arms...
"How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
The anxious look on Zhao Ziheng's face was something Lin Wei had never seen before. "Am I dreaming? Why are you here?"
Lin Wei couldn't believe whether the Zhao Ziheng in front of her was real. Her tone was full of powerlessness. She raised her hand tremblingly and wanted to touch the familiar face to judge whether it was real. Zhao Ziheng noticed and grabbed Lin Wei's trembling hand: " No, you are not dreaming, it's me, I'm back——"
"It's really you, it's really you——"
How many times, in the more than half a year since Zhao Ziheng left, Lin Wei had dreamed of this person. Now he is finally back by her side. When he holds her hand and touches her face, although the familiar face is left with the vicissitudes of time, she still knows very clearly that the Zhao Ziheng in front of her is the Zhao Ziheng she loves, the Zhao Ziheng she misses day and night.
Lin Wei buried her head in that warm chest, feeling the warmth of nostalgia. At this moment, the excitement and joy made the tears that had already dried up flow out again...
Zhao Ziheng knew that everything Lin Wei had experienced and the pain she had suffered were beyond his comprehension, so he said nothing and held Lin Wei tightly in his arms. As long as Lin Wei could forget the pain she had suffered, he would do anything...
Seeing Zhao Ziheng and Lin Wei reunited, Qingqing was so excited that she shed tears of joy. She left quietly, leaving Zhao Ziheng and Lin Wei alone.
