"This, how is this not a treasure? Don't drink it if you have the ability! I even took a few bottles before I left. Do you think I'm blind?”Cheng Yao's eyes widened.
"You... You! Damn it, I'll drink it. What are you going to do?”
Yuchi Jingde was a bit clumsy, so how could he be Old Demoness Cheng's match? Gradually falling into a disadvantage, he decided to be ruthless.
When these two people bicker, they were like a pair of living treasures, causing Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, and the others to burst into laughter when they saw them. Even Second Emperor Zhang who was sitting at the side could not help but laugh.
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said," In my opinion, why don't we do this? Jing De is treating us to wine. Yaojin was in charge of getting some beef. In any case, there have been quite a number of cows falling to their deaths in your residence recently!”
The Great Jin forbade the slaughter of cattle unless they were sick or disabled, and they had to report to the government before slaughtering.
Among them, Cheng Yaojin's manor had the most cows in the entire Wu 'an. Almost every three to five days, one of them would either break its leg or fall ill…
Everyone knew exactly what was going on, but no one said anything. After all, even those iron-headed censors would have a headache when they encountered this unscrupulous Old Demon Cheng.
Understanding the mockery in Fang Xuanling's words, no matter how thick-skinned Cheng Yaojin was, he still felt a little embarrassed. Seeing this, everyone laughed even more happily.
Emperor Zhang Er looked around and was a little puzzled.
"Where is Luo Qiu? Let him come out quickly and let everyone have a good look at our Great Jin's young hero!”
"Yes, yes! Where did Nephew go?" Cheng Yaojin also licked his old face and stuck his head over.
"Bah!"
Everyone was secretly shocked. This old fellow hadn't even met him yet and he was already calling him nephew?
"Shameless!" Zhangsun Wuji also muttered softly.
"This…"
Yuchi Jingde and Feng Li looked at each other, seemingly in a difficult position.
"What happened?"
Emperor Zhang Er knitted his brows. The rest of the people also looked over. Yuchi Jingde looked at Feng Li and said,
"How about... Tell me what happened in detail.”
Good news was just good news. The content that could be recorded was limited, so it was impossible to explain what happened in Jingyang clearly.
As the general guarding Jingyang, Feng Li knew more than Yuchi Jingde, so he immediately told him everything in detail.
Everyone found a seat and sat down, listening quietly.
"Seven days ago…"
The ferocity of this battle was beyond everyone's imagination. Even though Qin Qiong and the others were veteran generals who roamed the battlefield and had seen many grand scenes, they were still shocked this time.
The common people, this group that was easily overlooked, no one expected that they would actually participate in this war!
No, to be precise, they were the victims of this war!
Feng Li's narration revolved around Luo Qiu, and he spoke for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn. Even he himself did not realize that his voice was already somewhat choked when he reached the end of the story.
The entire place was silent, and even Old Demoness Cheng sat there silently. After a while, Emperor Zhang Er said in a low voice,
"In the end, it's still me who has let them down!”
As the ruler of a country, he did not even have the ability to protect his people. How cowardly was that?!
Luo Qiu's "I'm tired" was enough to make many people feel ashamed.
"Bring me to take a look…"
Emperor Zhang Er stood up. At this time, everyone's thoughts of drinking had also faded a lot.
It was already late at midnight, but Jingyang City was still brightly lit, and laughter could be heard from time to time.
These people were still celebrating the retreat of Nannan's 200,000-strong army and the fact that Jingyang had been defended. To them, this was a victory!
Actually, this...
It was a great victory!
Even when Emperor Zhang Er announced to the world, he would also say that Great Jin had won! The history books would also record this.
However, the real victims would gradually be ignored and forgotten by the world. Many times, life was actually very humble, even humble to the point of dust…
Everyone stopped in front of a small courtyard. Everywhere they saw was a patch of white, and there were even many low and deep whimpering sounds faintly emitted…
The corpses of those Jin Zi who died outside the city were placed here.
The family would be keeping vigil tonight. The burial would be held tomorrow.
Emperor Zhang Er was the first to step in. This courtyard was much bigger than he had imagined. The coffins were placed there one after another, and it was so shocking!
There were already people who came forward to welcome them. They recognized Yuchi Jingde and Feng Li.
"This is His Majesty!"
When Feng Li said this, everyone present was shocked. However, Emperor Zhang Er did not put on any airs. His expression was solemn as he slowly opened his mouth.
"Let me burn an incense stick for these Great Jin's athletes.”
