Chapter 258

"What's new for today's breakfast? Bring it here and let me have a look." In Shenyin Palace, a female voice that had never been heard before came out, and the chef looked at Huai Xiaoling with some embarrassment.

"See what I do? She can cook whatever she wants." Huai Xiaoling sniffed the incense in the jade vase, and the servants were very sensible, without stopping at all, she turned her head and left here.

Murong Yanzhi looked at Huai Xiaoling's face, it was only the first time they met, she had several chances to meet this eldest princess, but in the end she never did.

"Have you seen enough?" Seeing her looking away, Huai Xiaoling took a sip of tea leisurely.

Murong Yanzhi rubbed the rosary in his hand, and put his index finger on a white jade bead: "I thought you would be unhappy to see me, but now it seems that I'm still a villain in vain."

"You are a villain. You thought you forgot your identity after being an emperor for a few years? Now that your son has forced you to this point, are you happy?" Huai Xiaoling didn't hide it.

Murong Yanzhi's face was also a bit ugly, if it was not Huai Xiaoling, but someone else, she would have been furious, but right now she is under the fence and can only listen to Huai Xiaoling.

"Don't think too much about it. Su Zhi's rescue of you is just a threat to Mu Liancheng. As for you, if you live here for a few days, someone will send you back to your hometown. You should go back and have a look after you have been away for so many years."

Huai Xiaoling stood up, the cold winter in the capital made her very uncomfortable, but what made her even more uncomfortable was seeing Murong Yanzhi, if it wasn't for Nan Gongchang's letter, she really didn't want to make great efforts to rescue her.

"I'm really curious about why Su Zhi fell in love with such a domineering woman like you." Murong Yanzhi's words were provocative, and he was also trying to find a place for himself.

"Whatever you want, I just want to remind you that the one who rescued you was my Qingwei. Since I can save you, I can also kill you. Don't regard me as the trash you are facing!" Emoji leave.

It was snowing in the capital, Murong Yanzhi stood in front of the window and looked at the snow in the capital, it was not as big as Yanran's, but it was also somewhat elegant.

"After leaving Jingguo for so many years, it's a good choice to come back now?" Murong Yanzhi said to himself, and the expression on his face was also unpredictable.

No one wants to live, and Murong Yanzhi is the same. The life under house arrest is not easy, but the free life is gone forever. This is her lifelong regret.

"I entered the deep palace when I was young, and I have no freedom since then. Now that I have regained my freedom, you have nowhere to go. Who would believe it?"

The dignified Empress Yanran, who has been an emperor for 20 years and a queen for a few years before, is now a commoner, but she doesn't know how to spend the rest of her life. Isn't it another kind of sorrow?

~~
Mu Liancheng stood in the snow and looked to the north. It was his home country, and it was also the country he had worked so hard to make stronger. He thanked Murong Yanzhi, but he still had to choose to seize power.

"The people of Yanran have tolerated it for too many years. As the emperor, I can't act against the will of the people. Even if Yanran is completely disabled in this battle, I will continue to persevere!" Mu Liancheng's attitude is still tough.

He understood everything Nan Gongchang said, and he even knew that for Yan Ran, the best choice right now was to stop the flag and drums, and the prestige he needed had already been accumulated, so it was not impossible to recuperate.

But he didn't want to be mediocre for the rest of his life, and Yanran's country was constantly promoting the corruption and incompetence of Jingguo, and it only took one blow to overthrow the entire Jingguo.

There is not a single person in Yanran who has not heard of this sentence, and there is not a soldier of Yanran who is not eager to destroy Jingguo. All of this was caused by Mu Liancheng when he was the prince in the past, and now it has completely returned to him.

"You should also know that Hong Changan and the others want Yanran to be a pawn and consume Jingguo's strength for them." Nan Gongxing stepped forward, and even Mu Liancheng didn't refute what she said.

"The hustle and bustle is all for profit. They use Yanran again, so why don't I use them again?" Mu Liancheng looked indifferent. Over the years, he has obtained horses from Rongdi and obtained a lot of resources and benefits from these so-called allies. It is also the reason why he can secure the throne.

"Yanran has the horses and swords of Rongdi, the grain and goods of the Nanman, and the wealth of the East China Sea. These are all real benefits. You want me to sever ties with them. Who will support Yanran?" Liancheng asked back, Nangongchang promised some benefits, but it was far from enough.

"That's right, you have obtained these benefits, but Rongdi's belligerence has affected the people of Yanran, the Nanman controls Yanran's food and grass, and the merchants of Donghai Kingdom are spread all over Yanran. Do you think this is what you want? Is it Yan Ran?"

Nan Gongxing's words made Mu Liancheng silent again, and finally he sighed quietly: "I want a strong Yanran, but Yanran can't give me strength."

"Maybe Yanran won't be as powerful as you think, but it can keep a paradise in the chaos. Your people may not understand you for a while, but they will understand you sooner or later.

But if you lead them to perdition, they will insult you even under the nine springs, and only one sentence will be written in the history books of later generations, Mu Liancheng, the king of the subjugated country! "Nangong Xing's pretty face was indifferent.

This sentence deeply hurt Mu Liancheng, he stood in the cold wind with his hands on his chest, he didn't want to be the king of subjugation, but he also didn't want to spend his life doing nothing.

"You can consider continuing the fight, but I guarantee that the Nangong family will take someone to hell before they die. Maybe we don't have so many desires for others, but you still have Yanran, we are happy to drag you down!" Nangong Xingshen Taking a deep look at him, Mu Liancheng's expression turned ugly.

"You're threatening me!" Mu Liancheng pressed the snow water on his forehead, and his drowsy head gradually woke up.

"You can understand it as a threat, or you can understand it as telling the truth. You have seen the most cards of the Nangong family. You should know that no country can handle our counterattack when we die." Nangong Xing clapped his little hands, I could only hear the muffled hum gradually sounding in the distance like one body, putting infinite pressure on anyone.

"I have a choice. Donghai Kingdom and Northern Wei Dynasty are closer than Yanran. They can resist for us." Mu Liancheng was still stubborn, but his tone was a bit harsh.

"Really? How long do you think they can resist Long Yangwei? One day or two?" Nangong Xing was not salty, and then she added: "Don't forget, there is Yun Qian behind me, He also has hundreds of thousands of white-clothed servants under his orders, and several state troops under his orders, so do you have any chance of winning?"

Mu Liancheng's defenses were completely broken, and there was a strong look of unwillingness in his eyes, but he knew very well that it would be difficult for Yan Ran to confront the Nangong family head-on.

"If you want me to retreat and not interfere with this matter, I also have my own request." Mu Liancheng closed his eyes and struggled for a long time, and then opened his eyes. Before he could open his mouth, Nangong Xing said his request.

"On the surface, you don't have to retreat. You can use your elite soldiers to deceive others, or we can put on a big show together. As for Rong Di, I will let the people from Youzhou Camp cooperate with you. Li Guanjun will fight with you. How about dealing with the threat of the Rongdi people together?"

Mu Liancheng had nothing to say, and Nangong Xing even expressed his worries. He is also a man who does not procrastinate. Now that he has made a choice, he will not say anything more.

"Give me three days to arrange. I will choose the soldiers and generals. How you act is up to you." Mu Liancheng got on his horse and returned to the barracks without any hesitation.

Nan Gongxing stood in front of the door, turned his face and said, "Do you think what he said is credible?"

"Mu Liancheng is an ambitious person. He is not a fool. He can figure out what is the most cost-effective way for Yan Ran." Huai Yun had a shallow understanding of Mu Liancheng and Yan Ran's situation.

What Huai Yunqian said was right, and Mu Liancheng was not capricious, but on the second day after returning to the camp, he began to retreat secretly, and the news did not hide from the eyes of the waiter in white at all.

After learning about Yan Ran's retreat, Nan Gongxing heaved a sigh of relief, and sent the letter to Li Guanjun after hesitating for a few days.

The three-day period has passed, and there are still [-] Yanran soldiers stationed near Beijun. These are left behind by Mu Liancheng. In order to dispel the worries of Hong Changan and others, he specially let these people break up into pieces and pretend to be bandits. Kou, the leading general is his confidant Yan Chao.

On the cliff, Mu Liancheng came up quietly, and he couldn't help but sighed when he saw the three people standing: "The thing I promised you has been completed, so it's time to send the queen mother back, right?"

"Are you worried that we will make a fuss about Murong Yanzhi?" Nangong Xing glanced at him, but Mu Liancheng didn't answer, obviously that was what he was thinking.

"No, she has already left the capital and returned to her hometown!" Nan Gongchang looked into the distance, Mu Liancheng was slightly startled, and then bowed deeply to him.

"The queen mother has struggled with the power of the royal family for more than [-] years, and it's time for her to return to her hometown." Mu Liancheng's attitude was somewhat relieved, why didn't he envy Murong Yanzhi.

It's just that Murong Yanzhi has her own hometown, which is the place where she was born and where she has fond memories of her childhood.

"There is no one in the power field. You know this better than anyone else. Those who can come out are blessed!" Nan Gongchang said with a look of loneliness on his face.

The setting sun shone on his face, he had never seen his age before, he seemed to have aged a lot this year, and behind him were three young people, but none of them disturbed his thoughts.

Mu Liancheng finally left Jingguo. In his words, if there is no important thing in this life, he would not set foot here again, or Huaiyunqian and the others could not resist Hong Changan's offensive, and he would not be able to resist Hong Changan's offensive when the world changed hands. Will come to plead guilty.

When Nangong Xing was about to rest and return to the capital, an uninvited guest came to the camp on a snowy night.

Seeing this person, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly froze.
