PDLP Chapter 406: There is no greater sorrow than death.
Chapter 406: There is no greater sorrow than death.
Wei Da, who was standing by, acted as if he didn't care about what Song Yuan said.
As a wine lover, he couldn't help rubbing his hands when he looked at the wine jar in front of him.
"If you ask me, I can handle any strong liquor. If you don't believe me, I can show you!"
Hearing this, Song Yuan couldn't help but reveal a frown on his face.
If you drink this wine, you will feel cold all over!
Just as the two were discussing, Zhou Shen, who was transporting fine wine, suddenly came forward.
"The prince is galloping now, could it be that he is looking for the princess?"
Song Yuan nodded, and Zhou Shen continued.
"Then Your Highness might as well bring two jars of wine. As far as I know, the princess was also injured during the previous breakout. Your Highness walks fast, so hurry up and bring the wine with you. Maybe it can help relieve the princess' pain!"
Situ Jing was injured?
Upon hearing this news, Song Yuan felt his heart rise to his throat and a little panicked.
"Your Highness, don't worry. According to General Huo, the princess's injury should not be serious. It's just a superficial wound at most!" Zhou Shen hurriedly explained when he noticed Song Yuan's anxiety.
After hearing this, Song Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of Zhou Shen's suggestion, Song Yuan handed over his and Jinlian's water bags without saying a word.
Zhou Shen filled the water bag with wine, and then set off again, ready to hit the road.
But at this time, Wei Da, who was standing by, smelled the rich aroma of wine. His eyes lit up and he stepped forward and grabbed Song Yuan's hand.
"Brother, we are friends who have risked our lives for each other. It's a bit unreasonable for you to not let me drink such good wine, right?"
"Brother Wei, stop messing around. I really can't drink this wine!"
"Just one sip, I'll drink it!" Wei Da insisted.
Seeing that the other party was really drunk and could not be persuaded no matter what, Song Yuan spoke.
"Then open your mouth wide, Brother Wei, and I'll pour you a sip!"
"Okay, okay, brother, you must aim right! It would be a sin if this wine were wasted!"
Hearing Song Yuan's words, Wei Da immediately raised his head and half-knelt.
Seeing the other person like this, Song Yuan finally shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the water bag and walked forward.
Song Yuan carefully poured half a sip and patted Wei Da's shoulder. Wei Da subconsciously swallowed the wine in his mouth.
But the next second, I felt as if my whole body was about to catch fire.
Wei opened his mouth wide and exhaled continuously, but the heat of the liquor did not subside at all.
Forced to do so, Wei Da moved closer and grabbed two handfuls of snow and stuffed them into his mouth. He still felt the fire burning fiercely in his chest.
"Good wine, good wine!"
In the end, Wei Da simply tore off his shirt, beat his chest and roared.
How could Song Yuan not see that Wei Da was obviously pretending to be like this!
Everyone around burst into laughter.
Only a black line was left on Song Yuan's forehead.
I have to say that Wei Da is really a wine lover. The concentration of alcohol in this wine is far beyond the reach of ordinary fine wine.
But even so, Wei Da endured it.
Seeing that the other party had recovered, his eyes looked at him mischievously. Without saying a word, Song Yuan quickly covered the water bag with his hands.
I immediately made up my mind that from this moment on, I must not let the water bag leave my body.
If Wei Da takes advantage of the situation and snatches the water hose away, we will be in big trouble!
……
At the same time in the imperial city.
The news that Song Yuan and others were trapped in Sanbian City has reached His Majesty's ears.
In the hall, Song Youji's face was clearly filled with impatience. He looked at the ministers in front of him, hoping that someone could come up with a proper solution.
Unfortunately, no matter how he urged, the entire hall remained silent.
Just when Song Youji was about to get angry, a personal soldier outside the door suddenly dispelled the emperor's thoughts with a word.
"Your Majesty, urgent news has arrived from Zhenbei City!"
"Quick, send me the urgent news!"
Song Youji's face was a little panicked, and he hurriedly urged.
Looking at the contents on the envelope, Song Youji's eyes couldn't help but show a few bloodshot lines, and the hand holding the envelope began to tremble slightly.
At the end, his whole body trembled, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
He was completely exhausted, and the letter in his hand slowly slipped out.
Noticing something strange happening with Song Youji, the Third Prince hurried forward, first supporting his father, then subconsciously squatted down and picked up the letter.
The third prince had already realized the contents of the envelope in a hurry, and a hint of ecstasy appeared in his heart.
Great, really great!
Song Yuan is dead, and now it’s all over!
This insidious thing has cheated me so many times before, and now it has finally gotten its comeuppance!
Without this thorn in his side, his throne will be permanently secure. Who else can drive him out of this position?
Thinking of this, the third prince tried hard to stop smiling and squeezed out a tear from his eyes.
The next second, he roared with sadness in his mouth.
"Big brother!"
As he spoke, he collapsed to the ground, as if in extreme sorrow.
When His Highness's civil and military officials heard the Third Prince's exclamation, they immediately understood the contents of the envelope.
The civil and military officials in the court looked at Song Youji with a bit more worry in their eyes.
Under the gazes of everyone, Song Youji just sat there blankly, with his back against the dragon throne, as if he had completely lost his energy.
"Quick, call the doctor!"
Sensing that something was wrong, ministers around immediately cried out in surprise.
But he didn't notice at all that Song Youji's eyes showed great sadness at this moment.
Forty thousand troops, a full forty thousand troops!
why?
Why did I end up falling into the trap?
The eldest prince died in battle, and the eldest princess also died on the battlefield.
The situation across the border took a sharp turn for the worse.
What on earth had happened? How could it have ended like this?
Thoughts flashed through Song Youji's mind one after another, and he felt as if his heart was bleeding!
The third prince noticed something was wrong with Song Youji and quickly came to the throne.
"Father, Father, please say something!"
Faced with such concern, Song Youji did not respond at all from beginning to end.
He just closed his eyes silently, then slowly turned his head.
In fact, when Song Yuan carried the coffin to the border, Song Youji had already anticipated the facts before him!
But he never expected that all this would happen so quickly!
Song Yuan’s unexpected performance before had once given this emperor some extravagant hopes.
Could it be that his son could survive to the end?
It was not until now, facing this outcome, that Song Youji completely gave up hope.
Unexpectedly, his eldest son would eventually die tragically on the border!
Those barbarians...I must make them pay the price!
