The feast did not come to an end until ten o'clock in the evening. The hall was empty and every table was in a mess.
The king and queen were also tired. After saying a few words to Yue Ji, they went back to the palace to rest.
Only Yue Ji and Qiangwei were left in the hall. Yue Ji looked at this empty scene with a sense of loss in her eyes.
Qiangwei said: "What's wrong? So many people come to celebrate with you, aren't you happy?"
Qiangwei's tone at the moment was completely gentle, and she could only be like this when she was with Yue Ji.
"I can't be happy. I feel like this excitement has nothing to do with me. Forget it, let's go back and rest. Everyone is gone."
Yue Ji said, taking Qiangwei's hand and heading towards her bedroom. Yue Ji and Qiangwei can be regarded as best friends. Of course, there are many things that can't be said yet. Yue Ji will not let Qiangwei go this time. Naturally, she wants Qiangwei to go back to the palace with her.
Just after returning to the palace, Yue Ji and Qiangwei hadn't sat down yet. At this time, a guard walked in from outside. The guard was wearing a black scarf and couldn't see his whole face, but looking at his broad shoulders, he knew he was a young male guard. .
The young guard came to Yue Ji, knelt down on one knee and said, "Princess, I have already found out the whereabouts of that person."
"Oh?" Yue Ji suddenly froze, her expression changed, and her heart seemed a little fluctuating: "Where is it?"
"Near Yanluo Kingdom in the east." The guard said.
"The specific location." Yue Ji said.
"It seems to be a place called Jingcheng."
"How far is it from here?"
"Five thousand miles," the guard said.
"Oh." Yue Ji muttered.
Five thousand miles is indeed a long way, and it will take some time to hurry up. And now she is not in a hurry. Now that she knows the whereabouts of that person, it will be easier. From now on, she only needs to send someone to pay close attention in secret.
"Tell the people over there to continue to keep an eye on them secretly, and report to me in time if there is any situation." Yue Ji said.
"Yes, princess." The guard agreed.
The guard was about to go down, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, but hesitated for a moment whether he should say it. After a second of inner struggle and consideration, he still said it.
"By the way, Jingcheng has just been captured by a foreign army."
"What?" Yue Ji quickly raised her head, "How is that person doing?"
"The man is fine. Our people saw him walking leisurely on the street, but we also found out that it is said that the military advisor who captured Jingcheng seems to be the person the princess is looking for."
"What?" Yue Ji was a little surprised this time and opened her mouth slightly, but then there was a hint of secret joy that was not easy to detect. He actually became a dog-headed strategist. It seems that he is living a good life. Well, he is making progress.
Yue Ji naturally doesn¡¯t know Rogge¡¯s identity as an apostle.
"Good job, okay, you can go down." Yue Ji said.
"My subordinates, please retire." The young guard immediately escaped into the darkness and disappeared.
Qiangwei was always in this room, so she naturally saw and heard everything that happened just now.
The candlelight in the room was dazzling, as bright as day. The long curtains fell straight to the floor and the windows were ajar.
"What? Finally there is news about the person you are looking for? Emperor Tian has paid off, and you have finally found him." Qiangwei teased with a smile on her face. "Now you don't have to worry about it anymore, strategist? Oh, the person you are looking for is really extraordinary. He is actually a general who can make suggestions for others!"
"What, a dog-headed military advisor." Yue Ji said with a smile.
"The dog-headed military strategist can plan a strategy to attack the city in one fell swoop, so the capabilities of this dog-headed military strategist are really not low." As a general, Princess Rose certainly understands this best, "Sister, you should act quickly. , bring that man back quickly, I want to see what he looks like, but having said that, the person Princess Yue Ji is interested in must be an extraordinary and handsome guy, haha, I can¡¯t wait to meet him. , if you are really talented, why not come under my banner and be my military advisor, hahahaha!"
Qiangwei smiled from ear to ear.
Yue Ji rolled her eyes at the other person and said angrily: "Just make fun of me as always."
At this time, several women in palace clothes walked in from outside. One of them bent down and said: "Two princesses, please take a bath."
"Immediately, Yue Ji and Qiangwei followed the maid to the bath. The bath was about one hundred square meters. Now it was full of steaming warm water, with some bright red petals floating on it. Of course, this bath belonged to the princess.It belongs to the bathhouse, and except for a few maids serving on the side, no outsiders are allowed in.
After untying the waistband and slipping the clothes from her body, Yue Ji and Qiangwei walked into the pool.
¡¡
"Princess, an urgent letter from the King."
Early in the morning, while Yue Ji and Qiangwei were having a meal, someone from Zhou State brought a letter to Qiangwei.
After hearing that it was an urgent letter, Qiangwei took it and opened it on the spot. After a while, Qiangwei's expression changed. Her brows suddenly became full of heroism, and she immediately returned to the general's demeanor and attitude.
"Please come back quickly and tell me that I will be back soon. Father, please don't worry or panic."
"I'm really sorry, I" Qiangwei suddenly stood up and was about to explain something to Yue Ji, but Yue Ji immediately said: "Go and help your father, General Qiangwei."
No need to say more, no need to explain, the two already have a heart-to-heart connection. Qiangwei nodded seriously, and then walked out with vigorous steps. Only the crisp sound of kicking could be heard in the restaurant.
¡¡
Rogge walked in the city, and the city was devastated. Although it was much better than a ruin, the scene was not optimistic. The surfaces of many houses still show signs of being burned and blackened. Groups of roof tiles are loose and falling. The ground is covered with items left behind in the hasty escape, ranging from pots and pans to cloth, towels and shoes.
There were gaps everywhere on the city wall, and the fallen bricks were broken into stone chips. The blood of the defenders still remained on the stones. The trees in the city stretched out their charred branches, and the raging wind kept roaring around it. The wind was filled with the smell of blood and filled the air.
The remaining troops cleaning up the battlefield were searching for and disposing of the fallen bodies in the city. Occasionally, the sad cries of women and children could be heard. The people walking by on the road also looked exhausted, and most of them were unconscious.
The dog was barking for no reason, as if he couldn't figure out why all this was happening. He couldn't figure out why the owner forgot to give him a meal, but he also felt extremely hesitant and fearful because the chain was still locked around his neck. on it, making it unable to break free from the shackles and go looking for food.
The dusk stretched out the shadows, and Rogge walked aimlessly, his back illuminated by the setting sun looking extremely lonely.
