This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 788 Worry
"Do you think it's necessary for me to lie to you?"

Ning Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then turned her back to Mu Xiqiu and sat aside, and said in a slightly cold tone, "Aren't you disappointed to learn that he really didn't die?"

Mu Xiqiu stood quietly on the spot, silently looking at Ning Wan'er's back, and then said calmly: "I knew he wouldn't die, so why am I disappointed?"

Ning Wan'er didn't speak, a trace of sadness flashed in Mu Xiqiu's eyes, and he continued: "I don't really care about his life or death, but you, now you are talking to me in this tone. "

Ning Wan'er was silent for a while, then got up and walked in front of Mu Xiqiu. Her height was only at the shoulder of her brother, and she was less than half a step away from him at this moment. Ning Wan'er still had to look up at him.

With sword eyebrows and star eyes, fair skin, her brother is still as handsome as ever.

Ning Wan'er looked deeply into his eyes, and asked, "Brother, what are you going to do next? Lead the troops back to Nanchu, and make a comeback in the future?"

Ning Wan'er has always been ice-snow smart, and her knowledge of the battlefield situation is actually no less than Ye Linxue's. She also knows that Mu Xiqiu's withdrawal is the most correct choice at this moment. After that, all the way in the land of Dazhou was full of mourners, countless villages and small towns had been wiped out, six hundred miles from south to north, there were refugees everywhere, and countless people died of starvation.

Under such circumstances, if Da Zhou wanted to regain his vitality, he would probably be unable to do so without more than ten years of recuperation.

On the other hand, in Southern Chu, as long as Mu Xiqiu led his troops back now, he would still be able to pull up a large army within three years, and when the time came to make a comeback, Da Zhou would be powerless to resist.

Hearing her question, Mu Xiqiu lowered his head, looked directly into her eyes, and asked with a smile, "You think I should do the same?"

Ning Wan'er didn't quite understand what he meant, and there was a hint of surprise on her face.

Mu Xiqiu didn't wait for her to speak, but continued: "I don't intend to withdraw my troops."

As soon as he said this, Ning Wan'er was shocked: "Are you going to continue fighting?"

Mu Xiqiu nodded, and said: "Even if Wen Ruyan is not dead at this moment, his physical condition is definitely not going to get better. Besides, he was cut off by Chen Ling in the land of Minchuan, and all three thousand soldiers from the Black Cavalry Battalion Sacrifice, he himself almost died there. Do you think he will not take revenge? General Yang Zhong of the Great Zhou is unconscious at this moment, and Ye Linxue is the only general who can be ranked in the Anyang Mansion. Do you think that with her Can Ye Linxue stop me?"

"You are really crazy!" Ning Wan'er reprimanded: "At this moment, the force in your hands is not much different from the garrison in Anyang Mansion. As long as Ye Linxue stays in the city, what should you do?"

"I have my own way."

"Brother!" Ning Wan'er frowned tightly, pulling the corner of his clothes and persuading him earnestly: "Are you really planning to wipe out all the 45 troops? Do you know that after this battle, the history books What will I write about you? Tyrant! Butcher! You are doomed to live forever!"

"The history books are written by the victors. As long as this war is won, what you just said will not be a problem."

"Is this what you want?"

Ning Wan'er's eyes were already filled with tears, but she stubbornly looked up at Mu Xiqiu, not letting the tears flow down.

Mu Xiqiu turned her head immediately and stopped looking at her.

"It's not what you want, man, it's not what you want."

Mu Xiqiu sighed, then lowered his head and stretched out his hands to rub Ning Wan'er's head dotingly, then smiled and said something inexplicable.

"This war should be fought for you."

After saying this, Mu Xiqiu immediately turned around and left the tent, Ning Wan'er stared blankly at his back, she seemed to understand a little bit, but she didn't seem to understand anything.

Yanjing City.

Inside the inn.

Wen Ruyan sat cross-legged on the bed and recuperated his internal injuries, while Ji Yuan and Ji Qiu sat aside silently, not daring to make a sound. After a long time, Wen Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly opened his eyes.

Ji Qiu quickly poured a cup of hot tea and brought it over, Wen Ruyan took it, took a sip, Ji Yuan stood up and asked, "Your Highness, how is your injury?"

"Okay, it's about five or six."

"Do you want Su Bai to come over and take a look for you?"

Wen Ruyan shook his head, and said, "It's not appropriate for him to come here again this time, and Su Bai is not an ordinary person, and sometimes his travels will inevitably attract the attention of interested people."

"Your Highness, I don't think we need to be so careful? Why do I feel that you have been worrying about something since you returned to Yanjing City?"

Wen Ruyan got up, and Ji Qiu wanted to step forward to help him, but was interrupted by Wen Ruyan's wave of his hand. Wen Ruyan slowly walked to the window, with a trace of disappointment on his face, and he could only hear him muttering, : "I also hope my worries are unnecessary."

After saying this, Wen Ruyan turned around and came to the desk, took a pen and wrote a letter, then pretended to hand it to Ji Yuan, and ordered: "Send this letter to the prime minister's residence."

"Yes."

Two days later.

The originally noisy Prince Jing's Mansion seemed to suddenly fall into a strange silence, the gates were closed, and an inexplicable depression seemed to hang over the entire mansion.

Royal Palace.

In the imperial study room, Wen Ruyu was frowning and dealing with a large pile of memorials at hand, when suddenly Eunuch Cheng opened the door and walked in and said, "Your Majesty, Commander Xie is here."

Since Xie Shan was brought back to Yanjing by He Changzai that day, although Wen Ruyu knew that Xie Shan was stalked by others, he suffered from lack of evidence, and with so many people present at the time, he was powerless to defend himself, so Wen Ruyu had no choice but to He seized his position as the commander of the Black Cavalry Battalion and stayed at home.

Wen Ruyu put down the memorial in her hand, raised her head and said, "Xuan."

Not long after, Xie Shan came in, and Eunuch Cheng withdrew slowly and closed the door of the imperial study.

"what's up?"

Xie Shan saluted Wen Ruyu, and then said directly: "Your Majesty, Prince Jing's Mansion is empty."

As soon as he uttered these words, Wen Ruyu immediately got up and changed expression: "Empty? What do you mean?"

Xie Shan nodded, and said in a muffled voice: "Following His Majesty's order, I have been secretly protecting Prince Jing's Mansion recently, but since yesterday, I suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in Prince Jing's Mansion was not right, so I went to visit. The relationship between you and Your Highness has always been That's right, the old housekeeper wasn't in any trouble. It was only after entering that I realized that there were only a few insignificant servants left in Prince Jing's mansion. Only then did I find a secret passage in His Highness Prince Jing's study."

"At the end of the secret road is a small uninhabited courtyard. What's interesting is that this small courtyard is not too far from the prime minister's mansion. I found out that something was wrong and asked many times this morning. I learned that at Maoshi this morning, Prime Minister Su Daren His wife left the city with her family, and the reason given was that she went back to her hometown to visit relatives."

After Xie Shan finished speaking, Wen Ruyu first showed a gleam of joy, and then sighed sadly.

This guy doesn't believe me anymore.
