Chapter 177 Controlling Dreams
Lu Ziqian was stunned at first, then looked at her strangely: "How can that be? I'm not stupid!"
"The Emperor's order is hard to disobey. The Emperor couldn't bear it and insisted on fighting. None of the civil and military officials could persuade him, and I couldn't disobey his order."
"Alas, the war with the Jin Kingdom was too easy. I was praised so highly that the Emperor really thought I was omnipotent."
Su Yujiao stared at the man's handsome features and said, "Can you please not go?"
"You can't bear it?"
Su Yujiao turned her face away and ignored him. She couldn't explain how she felt.
Although I don't want to continue living with him, I don't want to watch him die. There is only a disagreement between them, and there is no deep hatred that cannot be resolved.
Lu Ziqian held her in his arms, touched the woman's fair face, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I will come back safely."
"Thirty thousand men may be few, but you have developed gunpowder and explosive packs. With such powerful firearms, we may still be able to win."
"It doesn't matter if we can't win. The Emperor knows full well that this battle is too unequal in strength, so it's normal that we can't win. He sent troops just to show the Northern Rong Kingdom our attitude."
"I'll act according to circumstances. At worst, I can just run away. If I can't win the battle, I can run away, right?"
Su Yujiao gently pushed him away: "I'll go prepare your luggage and get you some extra self-defense medicine."
Lu Ziqian stared at the woman's slender back, a touch of emotion flashed across his eyes. In the quiet night, he suddenly asked, "Jiaojiao, you still love me, right?"
"Otherwise you wouldn't care if I lived or died."
"They won't pack my luggage or prepare medicine for me."
Su Yujiao paused, turned around and stared into his eyes, and answered him seriously: "I just don't want you to die, it has nothing to do with love."
"Two years ago, when you threw me to those bandits, you didn't intend to let me die, but you didn't love me then, did you?"
"I am the same as you were before. I don't love you, but I don't want you to die either."
"After all, we don't have any deep hatred, and our minds are not so malicious that we wouldn't hope for each other's tragic death all day long."
"If we get divorced, do I have to hope for your death all day long?"
"Your death will not benefit anyone except Prince Beijing. If he becomes emperor, the outcome will remain the same. Our..."
What about the child?
What should I do with my parents?
What should I do with my friends?
No one can escape the fate of a tragic death!
Therefore, if one wants to change fate, one must get rid of the male and female protagonists. She doesn't believe that if the male and female protagonists are dead, the author can still develop the plot according to the original story.
At present, she cannot get rid of Chen Yunniang, but she can deal with the third prince first.
She doesn't want to and can't let the people around her continue to be cannon fodder!
Therefore, Lu Ziqian cannot die. He is the prince's greatest helper, and the prince is the only one who can compete with the third prince for the throne.
Lu Ziqian listened to Su Yujiao's unfinished words, but he didn't quite understand. He felt that there was something else she said. What ending? Our what?
Su Yujiao went out for a while and brought in a bowl of medicine.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
Su Yujiao said coldly: "Are you afraid that I will poison you to death?"
Lu Ziqian choked up and didn't ask any more questions. He just drank it all in one gulp.
"It's so bitter. Do you have any candied fruit?"
"Find someone else to serve you."
Su Yujiao teased him and left with the bowl.
Lu Ziqian missed the old days a little bit, when she was always obedient, gentle and considerate.
Every time he finished taking the medicine, she would carefully hand him mouthwash and then give him a candied fruit or dried fruit to suppress the bitterness in his mouth.
Unfortunately, he didn't know how to cherish her at that time. Not only did he ignore her care and consideration, he even thought she was annoying and pestered him all day long.
Now, she no longer showed any tenderness or care towards him, and he instead missed her before.
Lu Ziqian fell asleep while thinking. He wanted to wait for her to come back and sleep together, but his eyelids were too heavy to lift.
Su Yujiao returned to the room, looked at the sleeping man, injected some transparent liquid into his legs, and then lay down to sleep.
At the city gate, Lu Ziqian, dressed in armor, was riding on his horse majestically, preparing to lead his troops to battle.
Su Yujiao stared at the man's legs, unable to tell whether what she saw was the real world or a dream.
No, this was a dream. He injected anesthetic into Lu Ziqian's legs last night, so he should not be able to move his legs.
But she couldn't tell whether this was her dream or Lu Ziqian's dream.
No matter whose dream it is, she can use the dream to let him see the next plot.
In the dream, her words and actions will not be punished by heaven.
The man on the horse looked back frequently and finally saw Su Yujiao in the crowd.
He squeezed the horse's belly, turned the horse's head, and walked towards her step by step.
"Jiaojiao, I knew you would come to see me off."
"When I come back, I will make it up to you."
"Don't like anyone else, and don't marry anyone else."
Su Yujiao nodded, then waved her hand, and the scene transformed into a bloody battlefield.
Lu Ziqian was forced into a canyon with his few remaining soldiers and horses. Outside was the Beirong Kingdom's 300,000-strong army, which surrounded them and prepared to trap them to death.
"General, we are running low on food and supplies. We can only hold out for three days at most."
"How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?"
"Wait a little longer, reinforcements will surely arrive."
As a result, three days passed and the Lu family army still did not receive any reinforcements from the imperial court.
The food and grass were eaten up, the war horses were eaten up, the tree bark was eaten up, and even the leather armor was boiled... In the end, even the companions who starved to death became food.
Lu Ziqian had never suffered such a tragic defeat. He did not eat the corpses of his companions, but he did not stop his soldiers from eating them.
He had no right to stop others' instinct to survive.
Finally, the Northern Rong army entered the canyon and brutally slaughtered them like cutting vegetables and melons...
Lu Ziqian stood in a sea of corpses and blood, fighting until the last moment. Even though he was pierced by thousands of arrows, he stood upright and refused to fall down.
After his death, his soul floated in the air and he actually saw Jiaojiao appear on the battlefield.
"Jiaojiao, why are you here?"
"Jiaojiao, I broke my promise and didn't make it back alive."
"Jiaojiao, in my next life, I will definitely make it up to you."
He reached out to hug her, but found that he had passed right through her body.
He was now just a wandering ghost, without a physical body, and could not hold her at all.
Su Yujiao turned and left, and his soul followed her.
In the blink of an eye, he followed her to the imperial study.
Jiaojiao, why are you in the imperial study?
Is that the Emperor and Prince Beijing?
It’s fine if they can’t see me, but why can’t they see Jiaojiao either?
Could it be that Jiaojiao is dead too?
Just as Lu Ziqian was puzzled, Prince Beijing spoke up, "Father, the war between Marquis Jing'an and the Kingdom of Jin has reached a critical juncture, and he is in urgent need of reinforcements."
