night enchanting

Chapter 68
Rumo came out of Yinxiangyuan, dressed himself as a man, went to the busiest teahouse in the local area under Yunge, ordered a pot of tea casually, drank it elegantly, and listened to the surroundings calmly People talk about the deeds of the rivers and lakes and the border wars that have happened these days.

The death of the star demon sub-lord of the Demon Palace and the disappearance of the Cloud Envoy of the Demon Palace enraged the master of the Dark Pavilion. On the same day, Mo Cange found a group of murderers headed by the new head of Qishan, and killed them all with extremely cruel means. , and used his name to join all forces in the Demon Palace and the Dark Pavilion and Yun Pavilion to announce to the martial arts, whoever dares to oppose him will be killed forever.He wanted everyone to know that it wasn't that the whereabouts of the master of the Demon Palace were not known, and that the Demon Palace would be like a mess of loose sand and be bullied by others.And in just two days, he mobilized all forces to control the six sects. Because he himself had no intention of being the leader of the sect, he helped the leader of a faction that was sure not to be disadvantageous to them to become the leader. No one dared to object.So far, the feudal martial arts dispute has subsided.

With a smile on the corner of Ru Mo's lips, he had to lament Can Ge's decisive behavior.

In the imperial court, most of the soldiers and horses were transferred to the southern border to deal with the 30 army of Yi Kingdom, but only 25 troops were on the northern border to compete with the 35 army of Jin Kingdom. The news of King Chen's death was a big blow. Later, General Leng was newly appointed by the imperial court to take over the field. It seemed a bit more stable, but unexpectedly, General Leng disappeared inexplicably at night, which caused the army's morale to be chaotic. The defending city was captured by the enemy. As many as ten thousand retreated to Huangcheng.The Jin army went all out and pursued the victory. Seeing that Huangcheng was in danger, Leng Yixiao arrived at the same time, offered advice to defeat the enemy, and was named the honored guest.However, even though Leng Yixiao was the son of the Marquis of Jingguo and had a great reputation, there was no leader in the army with a high prestige to control the field, so people's hearts were divided, and there were many things that he could not control in the end.When the Jin army attacked again, the plan was defeated, and the general defending Huangcheng pursued vigorously, trying to take the opportunity to regain the defeat, but Leng Yixiao tried his best to stop it but was ineffective. He led troops to rescue, minimized the damage, and ended up losing 18 soldiers, a situation of 35 to [-].

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, King Feng decided to go on a personal expedition, and led the only 5 people in the capital to rush to the border.

Hearing this, Ru Mo frowned, called the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and wrote a note, only four words: Meet in Huangcheng.Order him to quickly go to the capital city to hand over to the owner of the dark pavilion, and ask not to leak the news.Then he bought a good horse and hurried to Huangcheng.

Huangcheng in the north was originally a rich and peaceful place, but because of the war, the people in the city were panicked. Seeing that Huangcheng was in danger, most people abandoned their homes and fled for their lives until the arrival of the king.

When Nangong Ao and Qi Che first arrived in Huangcheng, they first calmed down the people, rectified the morale of the army, and dealt with the former general guarding the city according to the military law. Annihilating [-] enemies, a great victory, and the morale of the army is invigorated.

The Jin army only rested for two days, so that it was convenient for them to fight in the city.Leng Yixiao led his troops into battle, but unexpectedly, the opponent's army set up a formation of suspicious stones and led his army into the formation.

Entering the battle is like being in a cave of thousands of stones. There seems to be a road ahead, but it is actually a trap. If you are not careful, if you step on the wrong foot, thousands of stones will fly together. Even with a body made of steel, there is absolutely no way to survive safely.In less than half an hour, there were very few of the five thousand soldiers who had entered the formation.Leng Yixiao had also done a little research on the formation, so he knew the advantages and disadvantages of this formation, and he dared not be careless at all.Looking up and looking around, there are several ways, deep and shallow, but I don't know which is true and which is false.He calmed down, and according to his own understanding of the formation, he found a way to go down, turned around a few times, but returned to the original place.After a short rest, I tried several times with different methods, and the results were the same each time.

At the end of the day, I was exhausted physically and mentally, sweating profusely.Panting slightly, he sat down on the spot, calmed down, and thought carefully.

This time, it was two days and one night.The lights in the city were turned on again, the stars were few and far between, and the falling light and shadow were mottled.

Qi Che stood on the city wall, looked at the suspicious stone formation not far below the city, frowned in thought.

In the temporary dormitory of the king in the city, Nangong Ao stretched out his hand and pushed the meal which had been heated up many times to the side again. He carefully looked at the formation diagram on the table that was drawn according to the suspicious stone formation. His usual evil and beautiful face was frowning. No show.This formation is composed of two formations interlocking. Its shape is round on the outside and square on the inside, complex and intertwined. Those who don't know the formation will only feel dizzy.

"Your Majesty, you should use some at least. You can't sleep well for two days and one night. If you don't need some food, what will happen if you hurt your body?" Yi De looked at the King who was getting more and more haggard these days, and was carefully persuading him.

Because Yide knew his living habits better, he took him with him to avoid trouble.Nangong Ao leaned back his tired body slightly, closed his eyes, and let his sore eyes rest for a while, Fang sighed: "Yi Xiao is a person who understands the formation, but he was trapped in the formation for two days and one night, unable to get out of it." It can be seen that the advantages and disadvantages of this formation are extraordinary. The people who were sent to break the formation in the past two days have all gone and never returned. As far as it is concerned, how can our army compete with others if it is not broken for a day?"

When Yide saw his movement, he knew that he was tired, so he went over to help him beat his shoulders, and said while beating: "Mr. Qi just saw the formation diagram, and immediately went to the city wall. You can see the clues. Your Majesty, you should take care of your body, and there will always be a solution."

After all, he sighed, King Chen is proficient in marching and deploying troops, if only King Chen was here at this moment, the king wouldn't have to frown like this.Thinking of this, he said it unknowingly, and immediately saw His Majesty's expression change, he wished he could bite off his tongue, it was really a pot that could not be opened or lifted.Ever since King Chen and Master Rumo disappeared, His Majesty's brows have not been relaxed, and so many people were secretly sent to look for them, but there was no clue at all.The concubines in the harem tried their best to win the king's favor, but they couldn't let the king take a look at them.

Thinking of Ye and Ning'er, Nangong Ao's eyes dimmed.Early in the morning, he knew that Ye deliberately created an illusion of decadence and turned into a blood demon to help Ning'er, but he did not expect that a martial arts conference caused him to suddenly lose two people he loved so much. The moment he heard the news, He almost collapsed, he couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it, how could there be someone they couldn't deal with when such a powerful two teamed up?If he had known this, he might as well use the army to encircle and suppress those gangsters who don't know how to live or die.If... unfortunately, there is no if in the world, if it happens, it happens.Even now, it is useless for him to feel heartbroken with regret.

He waved to Yide and signaled him to go out, wanting to be alone for a while.Yide led the order to retreat with worry on his face.

Nangong got up proudly, walked slowly to the window, fully opened the half-open window, stared into the distance, the dark sky, without stars or moon.The cold wind of winter blows in the face, dry and bitter.Since the woman in his heart left his side, his usual evil smile has never been shown again.Ever since he had skin-to-skin contact with her that night, he has lost interest in all the women. In the past few months, the harem has been empty. He knew that it would be bad for the country, so he forced himself to favor those who could be used to appease the courtiers. Chess piece, but found to his dismay that even though they tried their best, he still couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

Sad?right.However, even if it is sad, this life will go on like this.

In memory, bless them.Even though they ended up being together forever in such a decisive way, he was still very envious.Ye is braver than him, and is more sure of what he wants than him. Once he is determined, he will go forward bravely and never look back.And even if he wants to be firm, he has no reason to be firm, because he has always known that the one Ning'er loves has never been him.

Slightly raised his head, closed his eyes gently, feeling the cold wind attack, a burst of sadness.In my heart, I said devoutly to Nangong Ye: "Ye, you gave up on me and your responsibility, and chose Ning'er. I don't blame you. If Ning'er can give me a chance, I also want to be like you. , throwing everything away, as long as the unique woman in the world. Can't live together, but can love each other... Die together, it's also very good."

He suddenly laughed at himself, when will Nangong Ao have a dream?Not to mention that she is no longer there, even if she is still there, if he wants to give up the country for her, it will only add to her troubles, not move her.However, he still hopes that she can live, and it is good to see her once in a while... Occasionally.

Just when he was feeling infinitely sentimental, suddenly, a sword rested on his neck, and the cold sword energy shocked him, and he woke up suddenly.He only cared about his sadness, he didn't even know that someone came in, he was secretly annoyed, but he remained calm, looking at the sword tip that was shining with cold light, calming down his mind.Being able to enter here without alarming anyone shows how high this person's martial arts are.Since the other party didn't kill him while he was distracted, there was still a chance.

Calmly, after a moment of silence, just as he was about to speak, he saw the sword withdraw suddenly. At the same time, a soft and familiar voice came from behind: "Nangong Ao, when will your vigilance stop? Has it gotten so bad?"

Nangong Ao's body trembled, the voice...was familiar, no, it was very familiar.

His mind was filled with that figure, and he turned around suddenly, so fast that he almost didn't stop.But the person in front of him was a white-clothed man, so handsome that he looked at him with a faint smile.

Is it her?Although she was dressed like a man and her face was groomed, but that clear voice, bright eyes, and that faint smile...it was her, really, it was her!
Nangong Ao's eyes fixed on her face, he didn't dare to blink, his eyes were filled with ecstasy and disbelief, he just stood there in a daze, didn't respond for a long time, as if he was stupid .

It was rare for Rumo to see his expression like this, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Nangong Ao, you don't know me anymore..."

Before her words fell, they were stuck in her throat, and her whole body was hugged vigorously into a wide embrace. That embrace was a bit cold, perhaps because she stood in front of the window for too long and was blown by the cold wind. His arms wrapped around her very tightly, very tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear suddenly.With her head lowered tightly, buried in her slender and warm neck, she hadn't breathed out for a long time, and even her breathing became extremely shallow and cautious.

This feeling... It was her, and only her, that could bring him the feeling of heart palpitations.

Ru Mo's eyes suddenly felt a little sour. This high-ranking emperor would also be so cautious and afraid sometimes.Feeling the speed of his heart beating, she didn't move at all, just letting him hug her tightly.

In the silent room, the sound of the two breathing was clearly audible.

After a long time, she put her hand on his shoulder and said softly, "Nangong Ao."

"En." He replied in a low voice, his arms tightened again, unwilling to let her go.The soft call was full of too many emotions. "Ning'er..."

"En." She responded shallowly.

"Ning'er..."

……

"Ning'er..."

……

He called over and over again, and in her response, her cold heart gradually returned to warmth.Finally let her go, looked around, confirmed that she was the only one coming, and asked a little nervously: "Ning'er, why are you alone, he...he..."

Ru Mo smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, he's fine."

Nangong Ao breathed a sigh of relief, it was fine.But since he was fine, why was she the only one here? "Where is Ye, why didn't he come with you, does he know the current situation?"
