Chapter 596 Finale ()

The wind was silent and no one answered.

Feng Yun looked at him quietly. "They used to say that Qi people are not worthy of important positions, but I didn't think so. It seems that I was really wrong. A good thought can cause endless troubles!"

Shentu Jiong didn't say anything, just looked at her silently and waved to the person beside him.

"Take the queen away."

Feng Yun looked at the servants who were approaching, frowned, and scolded them coldly, "You bastards! Look carefully, who am I? You are soldiers of Dayong, who should you obey?"

Shentu Jiong was from Qi, so he had a united heart. Feng Yun didn't believe that all the Nanyong troops here were of the same mind as the Qi army.

However, the attendant remained unmoved.

Shentu Jiong just sighed.

"Don't be afraid, my lady. I won't hurt you."

He waved his hand again, "Take it away!"

Feng Yun saw the people around him standing quietly, looking at him coldly. His heart sank, and he glared at the two guards, "I can walk by myself."
-
Lock Key Ridge.

Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment as he looked at the enemy soldiers rushing towards him.

At this moment, all military strategies and tactics have failed.

It wasn't because there was an ambush in the Serpentine Canyon. He had actually predicted this and was prepared to sacrifice some people.

He just didn't expect that before his army could completely enter the ridge, the enemy would be exposed first.

Then, the killer general came up and immediately engaged in a melee with the Qi army, slowing down their advance.

The other party's intentions are hard to understand.

Several Qi army generals were also a little confused.

"Is Yong Jun crazy?"

Xiao Cheng said nothing.

Soldiers from both sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

There was no formation, no tactics, just hand-to-hand combat, the fight was indisputable...

Xiao Cheng suddenly realized something.

"Oh no. We've fallen into a trap."

He looked at the torches that lit up the silent mountains as bright as day.

"Pass the order, quickly disengage and do not engage in a fight with the other side."

Xu Chi was beside him and roared when he heard the sound.

"Your Majesty, we can't get away. They are following us..."

He then said, "Gongsun, take the guard battalion to cover His Majesty's departure first."

Gongsun responded loudly, "Yes. Protect the emperor."

"Escort——"

"Hurry up and escort me!"

The sound of killing was like thunder.

The horse neighs loudly.

Xiao Cheng looked at the chaotic situation in front of him, remained silent, frowned in confusion, and under his calm face, waves surged, and his blood almost boiled...

Pei Cong did not do this.

It wasn't him who did it.

So, who else is there in Dan County, in Suoyaoling?

Two dogs fight, play off.

He and Pei Cong are the two snipe and the clam, fighting each other to the death on the front battlefield...but someone wants to reap the benefits.

But who is this person?
Who else could it be?

Xiao Cheng became alert because of his own thoughts.

He rode on his horse, retreating step by step, but his eyes were fixed on the valley of Suoyao Ridge.

"Xu Chi."

He ordered in a deep voice.

"Go back to the camp quickly and inform Xie Congguang to call back the troops immediately."

Ming Jin withdraws his troops?

do not fight?
Xu Chi did not ask why, but reined in his horse and turned it around.

"Subordinates take orders!"
-
Feng Yun lost his ability to move.

Sitting in a sealed carriage, swaying, not knowing where it would go.

It's been a long time since I felt completely out of control of myself...

After a brief shock, she gradually calmed down.

In the past ten years, with Changmen and Pei Cong, she had lived a smooth and prosperous life for too long. She went from not trusting anyone at first to becoming more and more trusting of the people around her...

She became softer.

Vigilance also gradually deteriorates.

She never thought that she would be captured in the Dayong Army camp.

What happened today was very strange. Shentu Jiong did not explain the whole story to her, and she could not figure out the logic, but she had a hunch that made her extremely panicked.

It was as if something important was slowly draining away from my body, and I couldn't control it...

This feeling is terrible.

It made her feel powerless and tormented, as if she was immersed in a fog and could not see the truth...

The carriage went from bumpy to stable and onto the official road.

She didn't know where they would take her and closed her eyes silently.

Maintaining the status quo.

The most important thing is to get enough sleep to keep your body strong and your mind clear.

She didn't sleep well last night and fell asleep quickly. She didn't even feel the rope on her wrists digging deep into her flesh...
-
When I woke up, it was already dark.

The view was pitch black, with only the lantern in front of the carriage emitting a dim light through the curtain.

Feng Yun leaned against the wall of the car, his body stiff, waiting silently.

The carriage was stationary and not moving.

There were noisy footsteps around, but no one spoke.

It was not until the sound of horse hooves came closer and stopped in front of the carriage that someone greeted them.

"Meet the Governor."

There was only one governor in the entire Dayong Dynasty.

Feng Yun's heart was shocked and she jumped for joy subconsciously.

"Brother..."

She uttered a short cry, full of joy.

Light shines in through the dark sky.

The curtain was drawn aside, and a familiar figure stood before her.

He has an upright figure and deep eyes.

It was Wen Xingsu who was right.

But the joy on Feng Yun's face faded.

In the silence, her eyes were red and her palms were cold as she just looked at Wen Xingsu, and Shentu Jiong, Yang Qi, and a group of familiar faces who were standing quietly not far behind him.

a long time……

She let her breathing calm down and smiled calmly.

"Oh it's you."

Wen Xingsu did not answer, but looked at Shen Tujiong coldly and said, "Untie him."

Shentu Jiong and Wen Xingsu have been brothers for decades, and he knows his temper very well, and knows how much he loves his sister. If he hadn't had to, he certainly wouldn't tie Feng Yun up.

But it is better to tie her up and get scolded than to get scolded if she runs away.

"Yes." Shentu Jiong stepped forward quickly.

"Get out." Feng Yun shouted at him to leave in a light tone.

Slowly, she struggled to sit up straight, making herself more upright, staring at Wen Xingsu without blinking.

"What benefits did Xiao San give you?"

Wen Xingsu did not answer.

Feng Yun laughed at himself, his passion beginning to cool.

"It's been thirteen years. I didn't expect that you were in Cao's camp but your heart was with Han, and you were still thinking about working for Xiao San. I'm very curious, what did he promise to give you in order to buy you off?"

"He can't give me anything." Wen Xingsui stared at Feng Yun coldly. The moonlight shone on his silver armor, as if it was coated with a layer of faint glow.

"I'm not doing this for him either."

"Then what are you doing?"

Wen Xingsu didn't say anything.

"Say it!" Feng Yun said sternly.

The brother and sister who grew up together had a relationship that had long been integrated into Feng Yun's blood. Now she had to hold a knife and peel it off bit by bit with her own hands, which hurt her heart.

She couldn't figure it out.

Even if Wen Xingsu admitted to the betrayal himself, she couldn't understand it.

Why did he betray?

What reason did he have to betray?

"For Mrs. Chen, is that right?"

In the silence, Feng Yun asked calmly.

Wen Xingsu still didn't answer, standing tall in the light and shadow for a long time before he said, "Untie the rope."

The rope dug into her flesh, leaving her hands black and blue.

Feng Yun seemed not to feel it. She felt a tearing pain in her heart and was immersed in great sorrow, with her expression frozen.

After being reborn, she vowed not to be betrayed again...

She severed her father-daughter relationship with Feng Jingting early on, broke away from the shackles of the Feng family, cut off all emotions and love, and swept Xiao San into the cesspool, determined to wash away all the shame of the past and not be a slave to emotions. She even fought with Pei Jue for ten years for this. Her child was already seven years old, and she had never said a word of true love...

She won't be betrayed again.

No one would torture her like in her previous life, use her emotions to control her soul, make her unable to extricate herself, and make her heartbroken...

did not think of……

She changed herself, but she could not change her fate.

That feeling of being pierced by thousands of arrows finally came.

"Wait." Wen Xingsu got on the carriage and reached out to pull her.

Feng Yun moved aside, looked up at him, and said coldly, "Why don't you answer? Don't you know what to say?"

Her voice was a little sharp.

Not his usual calm self.

Even a little hysterical.

Just because this person is Wen Xingsu.

He was her only brother whom she could trust the most.

Wen Xingsui grabbed her wrist and pulled it inward, first holding her in his arms, holding her tightly in his arms, and then he untied the rope on her wrist.

"Wen Xingsu." Feng Yun raised her knee and pressed it hard against his waist.

Wen Xingsu took two steps back reflexively and fell into the carriage in pain. He looked at her angry little face with cold eyes, and his gaze slowly moved down to her dark purple wrist.

"Doesn't it hurt? Aren't you most afraid of pain?"

"No matter how painful it is, it's not as painful as the stab you gave me!"

Feng Yun growled in a low voice and glanced at him sarcastically.

"Is it because of Madam Chen? Because I punished her in Huaxi, flogged her in public, and corrected the village rules, so you are resentful, right?"

He sneered again, "Why didn't I know before that you are such a filial son. Even though Madam Chen never cared about you and devoted all her attention to Feng Liang, you still couldn't let go of your mother. Wen Xingsu, you are just a foolish filial son!"

Wen Xingsu pursed his lips and looked at her without saying a word.

Feng Yun glared at him as if to vent her anger.

Many things that I couldn't understand before now become clear to me.

"Did you kill Awan?"

"Yes." This time Wen Xingsu did not hesitate.

Coldly, without any hesitation.

"She doesn't deserve to live in this world."

Feng Yun's expression froze for a moment, then he laughed softly.

The laughter was self-deprecating and gritted through painful teeth.

"I'm so stupid. Why didn't I think of it at that time..."

She never doubted Wen Xingsu. Even though she might have had a momentary guess in her mind, it was quickly denied.

The day Awan died was Wen Xingsuo's wedding.

He is the one who has the least time.

He was also the happiest groom that day.

After so many years, Feng Yun even remembers Wen Xingsu's smile that day, which was jokingly described as "the proudest moment in life, the wedding night", so gentle and elegant, like a spring breeze.

"Brother..."

Feng Yun gritted his teeth, feeling extremely heartbroken.

"Tell me, what do you want? We can solve it in another way. Why do you want to rely on Xiao Cheng?!"

"I didn't surrender to him." Wen Xingsu slowly squatted in front of her, pulled her stubborn arm, his eyes shining.

"I don't want anything but you."

Feng Yun stared at him in astonishment, as if struck by lightning.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Wen Xingsu lowered his head and stroked her messy hair with his palm, his eyes filled with unspeakable helplessness, "Yaoyao, you taught me this."

Feng Yun was shocked beyond words.

Wen Xingsu's fingertips were cool as the night wind blew in, ruffling his hair.

"You said that only when you have power can you achieve your goals."

Feng Yun sneered.

He sighed slightly, and there seemed to be sparkling light in his eyes.

"A beautiful country and a beautiful woman will always belong to the strong."

"Brother." Feng Yun suddenly laughed, "Let me tell you a secret."

Wen Xingsu's eyes narrowed and he looked at her deeply.

"what?"

Feng Yun smiled and spoke each word clearly, as if afraid that he couldn't hear clearly, and spoke slowly, "Your father, I mean your biological father, was poisoned by your mother Chen and Feng Jingyao..."

Wen Xingsu looked at the smile in her eyes, squatted there, looking at her, motionless.

"Feng Jingyao confessed it himself in the Censorate Prison. I didn't intend to tell you..."

Feng Yun glanced at him with a gloomy look.

"Because I know how painful it was for my mother to be killed by my father. I don't want you to be sad. I don't want you to feel the same loneliness as me...being abandoned by everyone."

Wen Xingsu looked at her quietly.

He didn't speak.
