Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 199 Who is the final winner?

That pale face was full of ferocious expressions, after a long time, his bloody hand thumped heavily on the desk: "Come here!"

"Your Majesty!" Everyone knelt down.

"Pass down the order to let Shui Jiyuan go to Longhu Gorge immediately, there must be no mistakes!"

A source of water?Shui Xunyou and Shui Mingji's father, the deacon of the Shui family.

My heart moved slightly, and I looked at Xi Yumen, his face was ashen, obviously when he was furious, the people around looked at each other, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, General Shui is in command of the three armies, and he is summoned to Longhu Gorge at this moment. I am afraid--"

"My will has been decided!" Xi Yumen said angrily, "Anyone who resists the decree and disrespects will be guilty of the same crime as the Shui family!"

"……Yes."

Those people turned pale and didn't dare to say anything more, they turned and left the king's tent.

I stood by and watched Xi Yumen panting, and finally he seemed unable to bear it, and began to cough violently again. His face was flushed from coughing, as if his internal organs were about to be shattered.

And when he took off the roll handkerchief covering his mouth, I faintly saw a rust-like red inside.

Slightly frowning—it seems that he is indeed seriously ill.

I walked over slowly and said, "Emperor Baihu, please be safe. Even if you capture the Shui family now, Fengxiang City has already fallen into the hands of Shui Xunyou and the Nangong family. If they want to fight back, It’s also easy.”

"Counterattack?"

With his hands on the desk, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and said, "Will I give them time to fight back?!"

As soon as the words fell, he immediately called the general accompanying the army into the big tent, and ordered: "Send troops immediately, I will personally attack Fengxiang City!"

As he said that, he turned his head to look at me again, with a ferocious smile on his lips: "This time, will the Queen Mother still protect Fengxiang City?"

For some reason, my original self-confidence was suddenly shaken the moment I saw his smile.

The White Emperor is like a tiger, is it really so easy to control?
But I still smiled slightly: "Wish to go together!"

.

On this day, the sky was full of dark clouds, which were very low, making people feel breathless. The cold north wind whizzed past and blew on people's faces like a knife cut.

Looking at the dark Fengxiang City in front of me, I don't know why, this city that once survived the danger under my command, now gives me an illusion of unpredictability.

It seems——some unknown danger lurks.

Standing at Dayingkou, thinking silently, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and without turning his head, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

On the way from Longhu Gorge to here, although I didn’t get too close to Xi Yumen, I also know that he has never stopped drinking. His body is either a strong smell of medicine, or a strong smell of alcohol, and even , but the number of times he drank far exceeded the time of taking medicine.

He poured down large bowls of spirits, and coughed non-stop along the way. Several times, his condition was so serious that the imperial doctor was sweating profusely.

This person seems to be dying.

"What is the Queen Mother looking at?"

"Of course I'm looking at Fengxiang City."

"Tell me, Shui Mingji, is she also in the city?"

My heart moved slightly, and I turned my head to look at him. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes, looking at the obscure city in the distance: "If the city is broken, what will happen to her?"

"It depends on what Emperor Baihu wants to do to the Shui family."

Xi Yumen paused for a moment: "Crafting superiors and causing rebellion is the chief of the ten evils. There is only one punishment in the laws of any country—to punish the nine clans!"

"..."

"So, I don't understand more and more now."

"What doesn't the White Tiger Emperor understand?"

"Since committing rebellion is a serious crime to punish the nine clans, why does Shui Xunyou have no scruples, even ignoring that her father is still under my control; and Mingji is by no means a confused woman. Take it to Longhu Gorge..."

He raised his head and looked straight into my eyes: "Is the cause and effect a little unreasonable?"

I felt my heart beat, and my palms were slowly clenched.

But at this time, I still didn't panic, I just pretended to be calm and smiled: "If Emperor Baihu doesn't understand the reason, as long as he takes down Fengxiang City and grabs the water to find a secluded place, wouldn't it be clear?"

He also laughed.

"That's right, taking Fengxiang City and seizing Shui Xunyou is indeed clear, but—"

"But what?"

A needle-like gleam suddenly burst out of his eyes: "Our hundreds of thousands of troops came from Longhu Gorge, not for a small Fengxiang City!"

I suddenly understood something, subconsciously took a step back, and saw him wave his sleeves, and the surrounding soldiers immediately rushed up and surrounded me, there were several sharp bangs, and the sharp sword was put on my neck.

The cold blade carried a trace of blood, and as soon as it approached my skin, there was a reddish scar, and the murderous aura so close at hand made me tremble slightly.

I raised my head and looked at him: "Emperor Baihu, what is the meaning of this?"

Xi Yumen laughed loudly, a sickly blush appeared on his pale face, he walked up to me step by step, lowered his head, and stared into my eyes with burning tiger eyes: "Xuanyuan Xingsi, you really You are very smart and bold. You entered Longhu Gorge alone to make me feel that you are under my control, and you will relax your vigilance; you told me the secret of the Nangong family so that I could target the Shui family; You arranged it seamlessly to convince me that the evidence of the Shui family's crimes is solid; unfortunately, you have overlooked one point."

"Which point?"

"I met you nine years ago!" His gaze was as sharp as a knife: "You are so young and obsessed with power, even your own brother is afraid of you, and the person you like can also attack you. How could I let my guard down on you?"

His words were like a needle that pierced into my heart. I was suffocated by the pain for a while, and my whole body trembled.

After a long silence, I slowly said: "Since you didn't believe me from the beginning, why did you act in this play? Why didn't you arrest me in Longhu Gorge?"

He sneered and said: "A woman like you, I have to guard against it. Wouldn't it be easier for you to follow here obediently than to escort you here?"

"What the hell do you want to do?!"

Seeing my nervous expression, he smiled calmly and looked at Fengxiang City, but his gaze slowly jumped over Fengxiang, looking at the farther horizon——

"After Fengxiang, it's Meng Jing."

After Fengxiang, it was Meng Jing! ?

My face darkened, and when I looked at him, my eyes were already so dark that there was no light: "You want to use me to capture Meng Jing?"

"It's mutual use."

He smiled: "The Empress Dowager Yongjia wants to use my power to get rid of the Shui family. Could it be that Shui Xunyou's marriage to Nangong Mizhen really made you so sad, and you want to deal with it quickly?"

I stood where I was, the cold north wind blowing my long hair high, and the black hair was tangled in the wind, just like my heart.

Unexpectedly, at this step, he was guarded behind instead.

The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind, who will be the final winner in this vast land?
The sword was around my neck, the sharp and cold feeling made my blood stop flowing, but I still looked at Xi Yumen calmly.

"Emperor Baihu wants to capture Meng Jing through this palace, it's just a dream."

"Oh?"

"This palace has long been expelled from the ancestral hall by the Xuanyuan royal family, and even the surname Xuanyuan no longer belongs to this palace. If you think that by hijacking this palace, you can make the people of Xuanyuan Kingdom abandon their weapons and surrender, it would be too childish."

"Is it child's play?"

He still sneered, his eyes full of confidence: "Perhaps, the people of Xuanyuan Kingdom may not be willing to make sacrifices for you, but Ling Shaoyang - for you, he would even give up his life, let alone just send troops?"

My face changed all of a sudden - even he knew that Ling Shaoyang was still alive? !
By the way, Yu He rescued Ling Shaoyang from Shangyang City back then, and He Liancheng formed an alliance with Xi Yumen, and he would definitely analyze the general situation of the Central Plains, the existence and value of everyone, of course he would not hide this matter, this is also The reason why every sentence of Xi Yuying in the palace back then implied deep meaning, because at that time she already knew that Ling Shaoyang was still alive.

But—do they know where Ling Shaoyang is and what his identity is?

I looked at him nervously, but he said coldly: "After all, he was the prince of that old man of yours. Even if Ling Shaoyu is now on the throne, his words should work. Do you think he will be willing to do it for you? How about letting Qinglong Kingdom send troops?"

I gritted my teeth and stared at him: "You are so despicable!"

Ling Shaoyang's political views have always been against sending troops to Xuanyuan, and now he wants to use me to force him to send troops, what a torture for him!
"Despicable, hehe," Xi Yumen sneered indifferently: "Each and each other. Queen Mother Yongjia, you and I are the ones who value power the most, so there is no need to worry too much. It's just that you want To realize your dream of dominating the Central Plains through Qinglong Kingdom, you should weigh your own weight."

Yeah?If you want power, you can't have too many scruples?
I stared at him tightly and didn't speak anymore.

Baidi is like a tiger, and it really is not a simple character. When I wanted to use him to deal with the Shui family, he had already calculated all the power disputes behind me, coerced Ling Shaoyang, forced Qinglong to send troops, and destroyed Xuanyuan. The plan is indeed astounding.

Such a man—

If it wasn't for being terminally ill, I'm afraid it would really become the biggest obstacle on my way to unify the Central Plains!

Just as we were facing each other coldly, the biting cold wind blew bursts of biting cold, and there seemed to be the sound of urgent shouts in the cold wind——

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Looking back, it was a lieutenant galloping anxiously on his horse. Before the horse stopped, he had already jumped off, ran over and knelt down in front of Xi Yumen in a few steps: "Report to the emperor, the last general, the last general!" There is something important to report."

Xi Yumen frowned slightly.

"What's the matter, so panic."

"Shui family—Shui family—" The lieutenant seemed too panicked to speak for a while, and when Xi Yumen heard the word "Shui family", his expression changed slightly, and he took a step forward : "What happened to the Shui family?"

"General Shui, lead the army to Longhu Gorge."

"What's going on? I didn't order them to come!"

Xi Yumen said angrily, and I also understood that his previous orders were just a cover in front of me, but——the Shui family actually came!
"What are they doing here?"

"Your Majesty, General Shui has subdued all the remaining soldiers in the Longhu Gorge camp, and now—now is rushing towards Fengxiang, within thirty miles!"

"what?!"

This time, Xi Yumen was completely shocked, his pale face couldn't hide the panic for a moment, but he calmed down immediately, and slowly turned his head to look at me, with a stern light in his eyes: "You— —”

I was still standing there with the sword still on my neck, motionless.

"You colluded with Shui Jiyuan?!"

"Collusion? How could I collude with people from the Shui family?"

"You didn't collude with the Shui family, how could they—"

I sneered: "Emperor Baihu, I told you a long time ago that if you feed a tiger by your side, you should fasten this chain tightly to keep him away from the temptation of blood. You will end up raising tigers. Now, do you understand?"

"What the hell did you do!"

I smiled and looked into his red eyes: "I didn't collude with them, nor did I ally with them. I just sent someone to Shui's house and told them what happened in Fengxiang City."

If the Shui family is really loyal to the Baihu Kingdom, they will not hide the secrets of the Nangong family, so I am sure that once they have the opportunity, they will definitely try to seize their own military power and political power. Regardless of whether it was deliberately arranged by me or made by Shui Xunyou, for the Shui family, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Sure enough, they did it!

Xi Yumen was already furious at this moment, he suddenly pulled out a long sword, stepped forward and pointed at me: "I will kill you!"

Due to the edge of the sword, a cold wind hit my forehead.

I looked at the gleaming long sword, and then slowly looked into his red eyes: "Ben Gong entered Longhu Gorge alone, and he has long put life and death aside. But, Baihu Emperor, should you kill Ben Gong now, or stay with me?" To deal with the Shui family, which is more important, please weigh yourself."

He stared at me viciously, the tip of the sword was only a few feet away from the center of my eyebrows, the cold air was overwhelming, he suddenly roared, and swung the long sword violently——

Jian Guang whizzed past in the wind, only to hear a shrill scream, and a burst of dark red blood stained my eyes.

He actually killed the lieutenant general who came to report the news with a sword!
Everyone around was taken aback and hurried forward: "Your Majesty!"

"Hmph, the Shui family's army only came to report thirty miles away from here. Don't think I don't know what it means!" If you think you can choose between me and the Shui family, I will help you make the choice first!"

"Wei Chen dare not!"

Those generals immediately fell to their knees, Xi Yumen threw the blood-stained sword on the ground, and immediately ordered: "The left front general, immediately lead your troops to resist Shui Jiyuan's army, and hold them back in the canyon!"

"Yes!"

After all the generals took orders, Xi Yumen turned around again, walked up to me step by step, and looked down at me.

"Zhen, I won't kill you!" He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "I want to see, your life is in my hands, what kind of tricks can you play!"

I looked at him and silently moved my gaze to the sky.

The gray sky was covered with dark clouds, as if a big black hand was pressing down on the vast land, making everyone feel a sense of desolation with nowhere to escape.

Maybe, a big snowstorm is coming...

.

In less than an hour, the sky became darker and darker.

The bitter north wind whistled past my ears, I stood in the wind, and the heavy wind cloak was also being blown at this moment, the long hair as black as silk was fluttering in the wind, and there were patches of black and white in front of my eyes. mark.

As for Xi Yumen who was standing beside me, his face became even paler, he coughed continuously, his eyes were bloodshot, and the golden silk handkerchief was stained crimson.

His condition has become more serious.

The lieutenant next to him stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the emperor's dragon body is important, let's go back to the camp."

Xi Yumen looked deeply at the towering valley in the west, and with a light wave of his hand, the officer knew that there was no result, so he had no choice but to retreat unwillingly.

At this moment, there was a muffled sound in the wind.

It seemed as if there were bursts of muffled thunder rolling across the sky suddenly, the rumbling sound was endless, and even the ground trembled, followed by a large haze in the west, which seemed to be rushing towards us with the momentum of thunder. Come.

At this moment, everyone's eyes widened——

Water family, here we come!
Xi Yumen's face became more serious, staring at the valley in front of him, suddenly, there was a loud scream of killing!

The left front warrior has already encountered them!

At this moment, everyone's heart was in their throats, almost jumping out. I saw that the people around me were all extremely nervous. Several people's faces were pale, as if they could already feel that sharp sword was about to be swung towards their necks. up.

The only ones who are calm are me and Xi Yumen.

He was still standing there, coughing softly, when the strong wind blew, Sipa was swept away by the wind, and he could already see a large area of ​​blood red inside, even the corners of his lips secreted a trace of deep red, which was immediately blown away by the wind up.

Time passed little by little.

The tremors in the valley are subsiding bit by bit.

Although blocked by mountains, I can't see what happened inside, but I seem to be able to faintly smell a strong smell of blood. I don't know if there are corpses all over the place, and blood is flowing like a river.

And at this moment, Xi Yumen suddenly waved.

A general in armor at the side immediately came over: "Your Majesty."

"Where is the crossbow team?"

"Report to the emperor, the arrangement has already been made. As long as the people from Shui Jiyuan walk out of the valley, all arrows will be fired at once!"

"very good!"

He said fiercely, and looked at the towering valley in front of him again: "I want to see how many people he still has, come here to kill!"

I still didn't say a word, but my fingers under the cover of my sleeves were trembling badly.

Although these years, I have experienced the battle against Xuanwu in Nanyang City, the breakout of Canhebei, and even the burning of Shangyang, and the near death on Yixian Peak, but this battle is different from any previous ones for me. !

To win is to perish.

Any mistake will make me die without a place to bury me, but I don't want to die, I still want to live!
The trembling hands slowly clenched into fists, getting closer and closer, like the deafening loud noise in front of them, getting closer and closer, as if the cold air was covered with sharp swords, stabbing them head-on, everyone looked ahead The smoke and dust rising from the valley cast a deep shadow in my heart.
