Chapter 706: Where is Ruzhao? Where is Ruzhao? I want to see Ruzhao!
It was the beginning of spring in the Xian De year. The chilly wind was still blowing, and the air still vaguely retained the festive atmosphere of fireworks from yesterday's New Year's Day. However, all this had nothing to do with Li Chengqian, who was lying in bed.
He was severely tormented by illness and spent most of his time in a coma. Even when he woke up occasionally, his distracted eyes and slow reactions showed that his mind was still confused.
That night, Li Chengqian, half asleep and half awake, seemed to have stepped into an ethereal realm shrouded in clouds and mist.
Su Zhi appeared, dressed in a moon-white silk dress, the hem of which swayed gently like flowing moonlight. Her face was still as gentle and charming as ever, but her eyes were filled with guilt.
She moved lightly, approached slowly, and her voice was extremely gentle.
"Brother Qian, I'm sorry that I couldn't stay by your side."
Li Chengqian's eyes instantly turned red and his lips trembled. Just as he was about to call out, everything in front of him shattered like bubbles and fell into thick chaos. Su Zhi's figure also dissipated like smoke, leaving Li Chengqian in this void, full of melancholy.
In the vortex of chaos, Li Chengqian felt dizzy and when his surroundings gradually became clear, he found himself in a mysterious space.
Light and shadow intertwined all around, and emperors of past dynasties transformed into majestic dragons, their massive bodies coiling and swaying, emitting a captivating aura. Their scales shimmered with a strange, cold light, illuminating the space with flickering brightness.
Qin Shi Huang's voice, like a huge bell, boomed from the front: "Are you also an emperor in the future?"
Li Chengqian's eyes swept slowly, first landing on the majestic and solemn dragon head of Qin Shihuang, and then turned to Li Shimin who was staring at him quietly behind him.
Li Shimin exuded a familiar and warm aura, his eyes full of concern and expectation.
Li Chengqian shook his head slightly, his voice low but firm and powerful: "No, I am different from you, I am red."
His words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples that echoed for a long time in this mysterious space, causing the dragons to tremble slightly, as if surprised by his answer.
Then, the dream suddenly changed.
Li Chengqian found himself in a bloody battlefield, surrounded by enemy troops. Their shouts were deafening and surrounded him like a surging tide.
Li Chengqian frowned, his heart filled with despair. He knew that he was in a desperate situation and was almost helpless.
At this critical moment, an exciting and inspiring sound of war drums came from afar, like thunder at dawn.
Qin Ruzhao rode a nimble black horse, galloping like black lightning. He was wearing a shining golden armor that shone brightly in the sunlight. Behind him were the brothers from the three camps. They marched in unison, with great momentum, and shouted in unison, shaking the whole area.
With Qin Ruzhao's arrival, Li Chengqian's originally dim eyes instantly lit up with the flame of hope. He straightened his spine, held his chest high, and shouted loudly to the enemy: "My general is here, what can you do to me?"
The voice was like thunder, carrying the majesty of an emperor, resounding throughout the battlefield. The enemy troops showed fear and were a little panicked for a moment.
After having this dream, Li Chengqian slowly opened his eyes, and all he saw was thick darkness, as if the smoke of the battlefield had not yet dissipated, and he was swallowed up by the endless darkness.
A wave of curiosity and uneasiness surged in his heart, and he shouted loudly: "Is anyone there? Why don't you light the lamp?"
The voice echoed in the silent room, trembling slightly and adding a touch of loneliness.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from far away, and it seemed particularly clear in this quiet atmosphere.
Li Chengqian tried hard to look in the direction of the voice. When he saw the familiar figure, his frown instantly relaxed and a relieved smile appeared on his face. That smile was full of dependence after surviving a disaster. "It's Ru who summoned you. I just had a dream. I dreamed that I was surrounded by a large army, and it was you who brought three battalions to rescue me."
"Don't tell me, that enemy is quite powerful..."
Li Chengqian spoke excitedly, with a gleam in his eyes.
Qin Ruzhao squatted quietly beside Li Chengqian's bed, looking at him intently, listening to his story patiently, and nodding slightly from time to time, as if he was really reminiscing about the battle with him.
As he was speaking, Li Chengqian suddenly looked at Qin Ruzhao with a hint of doubt in his eyes, like an ignorant child: "Ruzhao, where are we now?"
Qin Ruzhao looked at Li Chengqian, his eyes revealing a complex emotion of reluctance and attachment. He said softly, "Teacher, we are in Nanjing now."
Li Chengqian was slightly stunned and muttered to himself, "Nanjing, why are you here? I've been suffering from a stroke these days and my mind is not clear. I'm really confused and can't even bear the pain. I can only drink Ma Fei San all the time."
He paused and asked again, "Yes, as summoned."
"Then why are you in Nanjing too?"
Qin Ruzhao looked at Li Chengqian, slowly stretched out his hand and held Li Chengqian's hand.
The hand was a little cold, as if carrying a hint of the chill of parting.
Qin Ruzhao said softly, "Teacher, I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Li Chengqian's face instantly showed a puzzled expression, his eyes full of confusion. He asked anxiously, "Goodbye? Ruzhao, do you want to say goodbye to the teacher? Where do you want to go?"
Qin Ruzhao took a deep breath, as if suppressing his inner sorrow, and said, "Teacher, I am going to a very far place. Perhaps, I will never see you again."
"Teacher, I am unfilial. Please forgive me."
After saying that, Qin Ruzhao's figure began to slowly retreat. With every step back, Li Chengqian's heart seemed to be tightened a little more.
Li Chengqian felt a sudden surge of pain in his heart. The pain was like a surging tide that instantly drowned him. He didn't know where the pain came from, but he couldn't suppress it.
He watched Qin Ruzhao's figure getting farther and farther away, struggled to get off the bed, and walked towards Qin Ruzhao, shouting, "Ruzhao, Ruzhao, where are you going? Why didn't you tell your teacher? Don't you want your teacher anymore?"
But Qin Ruzhao's figure gradually disappeared, leaving only his last words echoing in the room: "Teacher, take care!"
The sound struck Li Chengqian's heart again and again.
……
"hehe………"
Li Chengqian suddenly woke up from the bed, gasping for breath, his chest heaving violently.
The sunlight from outside poured in through the window, causing him to squint slightly.
He rejoiced in his heart: Fortunately, fortunately it was a dream.
However, the severe pain in his heart was like a sharp knife, piercing him deeply and taking a long time to dissipate.
Hearing the noise outside, Hu Bugui rushed into the room. Seeing Li Chengqian sitting on the bed, he was slightly stunned and a little at a loss.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Li Chengqian nodded and said weakly, "Yes, I'm awake."
Then, as if he remembered something, he asked anxiously, "Where is Ruzhao? Where is Ruzhao? I want to see Ruzhao!"
