Chapter 841: The Scheming Little Emperor x the Cruel and Merciless Regent 30
As he spoke, he showed a look of grievance.
"You can be sad if you want to. I don't care about you."
After Shen Xi said this, he wanted to turn around and leave, but he had only taken half a step when someone pulled him back by the hand.
The force was quite strong and directly pulled the person into his arms and hugged him.
"Okay Xixi, I was wrong, please forgive me. And you only came to see you because you saw that my injury has healed, and since you miss you so much, please give me a chance to make amends."
After hearing what he said, Shen Xi became interested and looked up at him: "I want to see what merits you can use to make up for it."
The next second, he leaned forward slightly and gently held Shen Xi's cheeks with both hands, his movements were so gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure. Before Shen Xi could react further, Qi Zhi's lips covered hers.
This kiss carries with it a scorching heat, the longing and torment of days and nights, as well as the relief and attachment of regaining what was lost.
After the initial shock, Shen Xi's body gradually relaxed and his hands unconsciously grabbed Qi Zhi's collar.
The tent was extremely quiet, with only the sound of two people's disordered breathing mixed together.
The faint light of the charcoal fire swayed gently, illuminating their tightly embraced figures, and gave this long-awaited reunion a gentle and affectionate halo.
After a long time, Qi Zhi slowly let go of Shen Xi, rested his forehead against his, and said in a hoarse and affectionate voice: "This is my merit, there will be many more in the future, all for you."
Shen Xi blushed and pushed the man away: "What kind of skill is this? If you want to take advantage of me, just say it directly, instead of beating around the bush."
Qi Yi smiled evilly and hugged him tighter: "If this doesn't count, then give Xixi back to me?"
Shen Xi hadn't seen him for so long that he had forgotten how shameless he was.
"I've given it all away, how can I return it?"
"Then forgive me."
Originally, he had just made a little fuss for fun, but now that Qi Zhidu begged him like this, there was really no need for Shen Xi to continue making a fuss. He looked magnanimous.
"Okay, I'll just forgive you reluctantly."
This war did not become much easier because of Qi Zhi's arrival, but Shen Xi was still much better off with him by his side.
About half a year passed.
The situation on the battlefield was ever-changing, and every battle was thrilling. Qi Zhi always fought side by side with Shen Xi. The two of them had a tacit understanding and commanded the soldiers to resist the fierce attacks of the enemy again and again.
One day, a spy reported that the enemy's food supply route had changed and its defense was weak.
Shen Xi and Qi Zhi looked at each other, and the same light flashed in their eyes. This was a perfect opportunity for battle.
They quickly made a surprise attack plan, personally led the elite troops, and sneaked in under the cover of night. The horses' hooves were wrapped in soft cloth, making only a slight sound in the silent night.
When they arrived at the enemy's food storage area, the enemy was completely unprepared. At the command, the soldiers rushed into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from a mountain. For a moment, flames shot up into the sky and shouts of killing shook the sky.
The enemy was caught off guard by the sudden attack and fled in panic. Shen Xi and Qi Zhi charged forward, brandishing their blades with a cold gleam, and wherever they went, the enemies fell one after another.
After a fierce battle, they successfully burned the enemy's food and supplies and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy.
This victory was of great significance and greatly reversed the situation of the war. When the news was passed back to the camp, the soldiers cheered and their morale was high.
The enemy's food supplies were intercepted, and the enemy was left without resupply, so victory was not far away in the end.
As expected, after this battle, the enemy's strength was greatly damaged, and subsequent battles were defeated.
Not long after, the enemy army took the initiative to seek peace and signed a ceasefire agreement. Shen Xi and Qi Zhi looked at the fluttering military flag, their hearts filled with emotion.
This long war finally came to an end.
In the convoy returning to Beijing, Qi Zhi hugged the person in his arms with heartache.
He had been on the battlefield for a long time and naturally knew how cruel it was, but imagination is just imagination. When he actually saw Shen Xi's true appearance on the battlefield, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
His Xixi should have always stayed in a place where the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, where he wouldn't be too hot in the summer and wouldn't be too cold in the winter, and where he would have no lack of food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and he should have the best of everything.
However, the border was bitterly cold, and Shen Xi suffered there for a year and a half.
After fighting for such a long time, they finally won, and Shen Xi's tense nerves slowly relaxed.
"Can you keep looking at my face until it becomes blurry?"
The previous war was very intense, and Qi Zhi was afraid that he would be tired, so he never said anything else to him about the war. Whenever he had free time, he would always ask him to rest quickly.
It was not until now that he had time to take a good look at his own Xixi.
"I'm so useless. If I hadn't been injured before, Xixi wouldn't have to come here and suffer all this in person."
"You're making me sound so delicate. Those thousands and thousands of soldiers on the battlefield can endure the suffering, but I can't?
If you were not injured, you would come instead of me. If you could endure the suffering, I would not be able to endure it?"
After he finished speaking, he held Qi Zhi's hand with his own and comforted him: "I know you feel sorry for me. You must remember that you feel sorry for me, and I feel sorry for you too. You love me, and I love you the same way.
We will both face this together, so please stop saying things that are not conducive to unity."
Qi Zhi listened to Shen Xi's words, his heart filled with emotion and guilt. He hugged Shen Xi tighter, as if he wanted to integrate him into his own bones and blood.
"Okay, I was confused. We will face everything together from now on."
He gently placed a kiss on the top of Shen Xi's head, with endless tenderness and attachment.
The convoy moved forward, getting closer and closer to the capital.
Shen Xi leaned in Qi Zhi's arms, looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the car window, his heart full of longing for the future.
After returning to the capital, the two of them returned to the palace and paid more attention to the affairs of the court. Although this war lasted for a long time and consumed a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, it was resolved in a few years under the planning of the two of them.
But from then on, they no longer launched wars easily in pursuit of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
Ensuring that the people live and work in peace and contentment became the biggest principle for both of them in governing the court. About 30 years later, both of them had gradually grown old.
Shen Xi also felt that he should live in seclusion in the countryside with Qi Zhi in the next few years and lead a life without caring about worldly affairs.
So he chose a particularly outstanding one among the remaining royal relatives and passed the throne to him.
Afterwards, the two of them went to the south of the Yangtze River, looking for a paradise, and settled there, leading a life away from worldly affairs.
Logically speaking, Shen Xi should have gone first in this life as his health was not good, but he was reluctant to let Qi Zhi spend his last few years alone in emptiness, so he asked Wangcai to keep him alive.
It was not until Qi Zhi's death that Shen Xi sent someone to bury himself together with Qi Zhi in the royal cemetery.
He would not posthumously confer the title of Queen on Qi Zhi, because in his opinion, Qi Zhi's great achievements in life, from being a small soldier all alone to becoming the regent who could cover the sky with one hand, should not be easily covered up by the word Queen.
As for how future generations will judge the burial of the regent of the current dynasty in the imperial mausoleum, that is their business.
