Cao Er woke up early and came over.

Li Hao had already woken up. Seeing Cao Er, the corner of his mouth lifted into a smile.

"I heard from Ding that yesterday, it was all thanks to you that I did not die in a foreign land."

Cao Er had learned a lot of things in the Marshal Xiahou's residence. She knew what it meant to die in a foreign land and immediately waved her hand.

"The prince has great fortune, there will be the protection of the gods."

Hearing that, Li Hao laughed: "Do you still believe in immortals?"

Cao Er said in all seriousness: "What do you mean believe?"

There are deities in this world.

Li Hao looked at Cao Er deeply, "Cao Er, you helped I down from the tower, who did you meet?"

Cao Er thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Where did I meet such a person, and not a single person."

Li Hao laughed coldly, "Really, that was when the gods gave the I the immortal pellets."

Cao Er was stunned when she saw Li Hao's smile. His smile was so beautiful, she couldn't help but forget what Li Hao had said.

Li Hao frowned, his expression cold. "I will ask you another question."

Cao Er was shocked, and timidly glanced at Li Hao.

"What does the Prince want to know?"

Li Hao gasped, it seemed like his question was wasted.

"Who exactly saved I?"

Li Hao's voice was bone-piercing cold.

Cao Er opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was the one doing so, but when she met Li Hao's eyes, those words could no longer come out.

Li Hao quietly looked at her, but Cao Er did not say a word.

"Ding Ding, send Cao Er back. What did I tell you? Without your orders, no one is to come in."

Ding Ding criticized silently, yesterday when Cao Er came over, he did not see any objections.

However, Ding Ding could only silently curse.

"Miss Cao Er, please."

Ding Ding extended his hand out in a gesture of invitation.

Cao Er bit her lips, her tears flowing, "Your Highness, why do you keep on treating me like this?"

Seeing that, Ding Ding could not help but turn his head, he could not stand to see a woman's tears the most.

Li Hao remained indifferent.

When Cao Er saw her, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she still felt embarrassed. Furthermore, she had learned a lot in the Xia Hou Residence, and compared to when she first came, she had even more dignity now. This kind of treatment from Li Hao, made her look embarrassed, she stomped her feet, and Cao Er turned to leave.

Ding Ding saw Cao Er out of the Palace, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Coming back to see that Li Hao had tied up his sword, Ding Ding hurried forward, "Your Highness, your wound has not recovered yet, it's best for you to rest for a day."

"I will go take a look at General Shi." Li Hao did not even lift her eyelids.

When he said that he would go and defend the city, the people would definitely object, so he decided to go and take a look at the General Shi.

Ding Ding frowned, "My prince, the General Shi is inside the city walls."

Li Hao walked outside, "Then let's go to the city gate tower to take a look."

Ding Ding was speechless, the king obviously wanted to go to the city gate tower.

"Your Highness, there's no need to be in such a rush. Eat something first."

Ding Ding knew that persuasion was not an option. Rather than compromise, it would be better to just go with the plan.

Li Hao looked up at Ding Ding, and then sat down, "Bring the food over."

As Ding Ding placed food on the table, he couldn't help but say: "Your highness is really too ruthless towards that Cao Er. She hasn't even eaten breakfast yet."

Hearing that, Li Hao snorted coldly, and looked at Ding Ding with the corner of his eyes, "I has always been like this."

Ding Ding was startled, that's right, the king always does as he pleases, he always only cares about his own comfort and happiness, he never cared about others, it was as if he had restrained himself a lot after having the concubine Empress.

Now that the concubine's Empress was no longer around, the Prince had revealed his true nature.

On the other hand, after they had enjoyed the warmth of the prince, they weren't used to him anymore.

"If the sixteenth was here, the prince wouldn't have acted this way." What do you mean by 'always'? His Royal Highness was simply watching the dishes being served.

Ding Ding muttered.

When Li Hao mentioned about sixteen, he immediately felt that the food in front of him had become tasteless.

"Sixteen, I wonder where he is."

Li Hao was a little depressed, he simply pushed his bowl and chopsticks away, stood up, and used a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

"Let's go."

When night fell, he would come back to rest, but in General Shi, it was as if he had "stayed" on the city walls for a few days and nights.

Li Hao instructed Ding Ding, "Today's breakfast is not bad, take away all the remaining amount."

General Shi couldn't eat, but there were still those soldiers.

Ding Ding immediately ordered the rest of the dishes to be packed.

In fact, not just today, they had been doing this for days.

Those who should have left had already left, and those who did not, were the indigenous residents of this place. Li Hao looked at the streets that were even more noisy than usual, but the noise now was a bit more tragic.

As expected, they found General Shi on the city wall, and Li Hao ordered the others to leave a portion of the food for him.

"It's better if you treat Old Shi well, Prince."

General Shi was really hungry, eating big mouthfuls, while praising, "I said that the food made in the Prince's Mansion is precisely exquisite and delicious."

"I told the chef to be more meticulous, but I didn't know …"

Li Hao suddenly stopped talking, abruptly stood up and chased after him, "Halt."

General Shi held onto his shoulder and bit down hard, his mouth slurring. "Your Highness, what are you doing …"

The rest of his words were covered by the sound of his chewing.

Everyone looked at Li Hao in shock, they did not know what had happened.

Li Hao chased them to the spot where he had just seen Du Jinse and looked around.

"Prince, what happened?" Ding Ding was a little confused.

"Did you see …" Li Hao paused halfway through his words. He only felt that there was someone behind him that looked like Du Jinse, but that person was dressed in men's clothes. How could Ding Ding have noticed that?

Li Hao looked at his surroundings with a bit of disappointment. On the other hand, he hoped that he was the one who was seeing things. He would rather Du Jinse return to the capital than let her suffer with him at the border.

After a long while, Li Hao sighed, "I'm fine."

Walking back, General Shi also felt Li Hao's listlessness. He reached out and patted Li Hao's shoulder.

"Your Royal Highness, fighting war is the business of us barbarians. You should return to the manor to rest first."

His Highness was already quite good, and when compared to those officials of the imperial court who could only make a racket, it was much better.

It was just that the General Shi did not know how to speak.

When Li Hao heard this, he felt somewhat ashamed.

However, he also clearly realized that his presence here was truly a burden.

"General Shi, they came up again."

General Shi cursed, "Damn, do you want to do this?"

He didn't even allow people to rest while he ate.

Li Hao followed the General Shi up the city wall and looked down.

From the moment the first day the blade pierced the enemy's chest, to the moment of killing them, it was like killing an ant. Everyone's heart gradually became harder and harder.

For the sake of their homeland behind them, or just for their own sake, they had to work hard to live and kill each other.
