Butterfly Dream of Longevity Tribulation

In the depths of Wolf Mountain, in the tent of Sima Luo City.

Chang Yi and Xu Rongzheng were kneeling at the foot of Simaluo City, with solemn faces and deep brows, only to hear Chang Yi begging in a deep voice: "I beg you to put the overall situation first, and return to Xuanyang City with me!"

After speaking, the two fell to the ground and kowtowed heavily.

Sima Luocheng still waved his hands and shook his head, signaling that they don't need to say more. He insisted on staying in Langshan. Apart from Lu Li's promise to repel the Xia army, there was another important reason. I don't want to believe it.

Especially when he heard that Xia Jun was severely injured by the punishment of heaven the day before yesterday, he was even more convinced that it must be the work of Mengxiang and Yifeng.

Therefore, no matter how Chang Yi and Xu Rong tried to persuade him, he refused to leave.

Langshan, the last natural barrier of Xizhou City, Simaluo City had already moved the people in the city safely into the mountain the day after it seemed like a dream of entering the summer camp, so although the Xia army broke through Xizhou City this time, it was just an empty city.

However, the distance between Langshan and the North City Gate of Xizhou is less than [-] miles. Even with the protection of Gongbo Longhai's Promise Array, it is only a matter of time before Xia Jun breaks through.

In order to delay the time for the Xia army to attack Langshan as much as possible, and for fear of arousing the suspicion of the Xia army, nearly 2 defenders in the city knew that it was an empty city, but none of them evacuated. With one last breath, with the last drop of blood.

When the news came that all the defenders of the city led by Xizhou General Chen Yucai had died in battle, Sima Luocheng's expression darkened, and his brows were full of sadness.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to do so. He exchanged the blood of [-] soldiers for the lives of [-] people, but he lost the most important line of defense in Xijiang - Xizhou City.

At this moment, nearly [-] residents of Xizhou City had already evacuated from the cliffs of Wolf Mountain. They escaped the Xia army's eyes and ears with the cover of a deep mountain and dense forest, and were on their way to Qingyang County.

That night Lu Li left without saying goodbye. Sima Luocheng thought that Shang Guo was treacherous, and Baili Bing tricked King Xuanxu to play tricks on him, but he didn't expect that Lu Li would return to the Wolf Mountain Army the next evening.

Sima Luocheng pretended not to know that he had left, and still treated him like a guest, but secretly ordered shadow guards to monitor his every move, but since he entered the account at dusk, he only said he was unwell, and he did not step out for three days after that. Half a step into the tent.

The attendants sent by Simaluo City to serve him in daily life were also sent out by him, but the two meals a day were delivered to the account on time.

Early this morning, Sima Luocheng couldn't take it anymore and ordered someone to summon him to discuss matters.

But the attendant who sent the order hadn't left his camp yet, he heard a report from someone outside the tent that Lu Li, the High Priest of the Shang Kingdom, asked to see him.

Sima Luocheng was slightly startled, but his face remained calm. The attendant who sent the order had already lifted the curtain and let Lu Li into the tent.

Wearing a black robe, Lu Li approached slowly, and saluted respectfully, "My lord's condolences! Lu Li's heart aches when he hears that the city of Xizhou is broken, and he's here to share his worries."

Lu Li's actions were undoubtedly adding salt to the wounds of Simaluo City. He boasted of his supernatural powers, but he would not save him. He watched Xizhou City fall before his eyes, but now he said something to share his worries.

Sima Luocheng suppressed his anger, looked cold, waved his sleeves and said: "Forget it! Don't dare to bother the high priest! Now that the city is broken, there is nothing to worry about! If the high priest feels bored in the army, he can go back to the country on his own! I dare not force myself to stay!"

Lu Li's expression froze, but he must not leave Yunguo at this moment. When he left Zhaohe Palace that day, he made a solemn oath in front of the king. If he couldn't complete the task, he would willingly resign from the position of high priest and exile in the East China Sea. , never return to Kyushu.

Originally, the destruction of Xizhou City was nothing to him at all, and he had other important things to do during his trip.

But that day, because of his fault, he saw her go on an adventure in Xia, and when he came back from the snowy area, he heard that she failed to assassinate Xia Houliang and died of random arrows.

Others may believe it, but he doesn't.

Based on his understanding of Xia Houliang and Yin Ze, if they knew her identity, they would never be willing to kill her.

If it wasn't for the fact that Que Hentian, who came back with him, was seriously injured, and he spent time healing her day and night, he would have already entered the summer camp to rescue her.

This morning, when he learned that Xizhou City was broken and Que Hentian's injury had improved, he wanted to take the opportunity to be a favor. On the surface, he helped Sima Luo City repel Xia's army, but in fact he rescued her and made her return to the country willingly with him. Go to the doctor's face for the king.

Lu Li was secretly thinking about how to restore Sima Luocheng's trust in him, but he heard voices outside the tent, as if a familiar aura was approaching, and he was startled.

is her?

"Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir! Xizhou is saved, and Yunguo is saved!" Lu Li suddenly bowed and said loudly.

Sima Luocheng looked at Lu Li in surprise, but he saw a smile on the corner of the other's eyes, "The medicine that Lu Li has been looking for for several years is outside the tent. As long as the king agrees to let her go back to the country with me, I can immediately perform the operation." Inform the [-] merchant troops in Wuyinguan to detour to the northwest border and cut off the Xia army's retreat, so that Xia Houliang will never come back! At that time, the Shangyun army will unite, not to mention the revenge of the massacre of Fuyang County, it will be the entire The Kingdom of Xia can also be included in the bag. After the mourning period for my lord is over, and the two lords go through the wedding ceremony, they can dominate Kyushu together, wouldn’t it be wonderful?"

It is true that his words are full of temptations for Sima Luocheng.

But before Sima Luocheng had time to think, he heard familiar footsteps in his ears. He raised his eyes to look at the curtain, and saw that Ruimeng was wearing a long lavender dress, and her black hair was casually tied into a flowing bun. account.

As she walked, the skirt fluttered, and there was a breeze, but a faint woody fragrance came with the wind.

Lu Li silently took two steps back, stood aside, and watched them quietly.

"Meng'er..."

Seeing her getting closer and closer, but Mu Zili, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, followed behind him, Sima Luocheng's eyes darkened, and he finally came back to his senses. The corners of his lips were slightly closed, and he whispered her name softly It can't be heard, even if Simeng is right in front of him, he never hears it clearly.

Seeing that Meng Si retracted his chin slightly, leaned over to salute, and said softly: "Si Meng is ashamed, I failed to complete the task entrusted by your majesty, and I am here to apologize!"

Mu Zili who was behind had already stepped forward, bowed his hands in salute, but did not speak.

Sima Luocheng nodded slightly, seeing her return safely, his joy was beyond words, and he would not blame her, he quickly stretched out his hand to help her up, and said: "Meng'er put her body in danger, what is the crime? It is indeed the blessing of my Yun Kingdom that my son can return safely!"

He originally wanted to hold her hand, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the blue figure beside her, his hands froze, and he changed the subject immediately, "Didn't Brother Feng come back with Meng'er?"

While speaking, he let go of the hand on her shoulder, his eyes swept over Mu Zili's handsome face as before, and a faint sourness emerged from the bottom of his heart.
