Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 206

When I walked back to the manor and appeared in front of Yayoi and Xiaoman again, Xiaoman looked at me with his mouth wide open, with an expression of disbelief.

On the contrary, Yayoi showed no surprise at all, as if she had already guessed that I would come back.

"But you have to know," he said lightly, "it will be difficult to leave after you come back."

I also said lightly: "You didn't leave either."

He glanced at me and said nothing.

In this way, I stayed in this manor again. The only difference is that the tranquility of the past was completely broken. Even if I didn’t go to the bamboo forest behind the manor, I could still feel it when I was resting in the small bamboo building. Changes in the surrounding atmosphere.

Qujin is not far away, many dispatches have to go through here, we can clearly feel the changes in Suzaku Kingdom.

The number of war horses began to increase, and I could no longer fall asleep listening to the neighing of the horses all night long. Food and grass began to be shipped out in large quantities. Tens of thousands of soldiers were dispatched from Qujindiao every day. Even in the environment, one could feel the intensity of the battle ahead. Two days later, a large number of refugees had retreated from the front, and Yayoi took them all into this manor.

This time, Mu Liusha was not fighting an unprepared battle, but the rebellion of several elders and Cave Master 72 did catch her off guard. The previous civil war had consumed too much national power, and now the fall of Hu Huakou is equivalent to destroying the entire South With the border barrier removed, it is not easy to be able to stand in a stalemate these days.

And after two days of fighting, I gradually understood that Shaoyu was not fighting this battle.

If it was Shaoyu, he must have dispatched Yulongtang, but I know the strength of Yulongtang very well. The attack speed is as fast as lightning. In this kind of battle, if you want to win quickly, if you want to lose quickly, It won't be like this for a few days. It seems that the people who came to Sancho are not from Yulongtang.

If it is not Yulongtang, then——

In the early morning of the third day, we didn't sleep all night.

Because according to the description of the refugees, the Qinglong Kingdom's army is almost here. If the army in front can't stop it, this manor may really be exposed to the flames of war.

The people outside were all terrified and panicked. I sat in the room with Yayoi and Xiaoman, silent all the time.

After a long time, I heard Xiao Man say: "Father, do you think the army in front can stop it?"

Yayoi glanced at her: "No."

"So, when will they call?"

Yayoi looked up and looked out the window: "Later."

"what?"

Xiaoman's delicate face paled immediately, and he stood up with a bang and picked up his bow and arrow and the machete: "Father, you didn't tell me earlier, I thought I could last for a day or two."

Yayoi glanced at her, didn't say anything, got up and walked to the corner of the room, and forcibly tore down a bamboo from the wall made of green bamboo. Xiaoman and I watched his movements and almost thought he was going to demolish the house. But he stretched out his hand, and with a "Cang" sound from the bamboo tube, he pulled out a sword.

This is a rusty long sword. Not only is it not outstanding, but it makes people look extremely frustrated, but he doesn't seem to care at all. He holds the long sword and looks at it carefully, as if watching a fellow old friend for many years.

At this moment, I suddenly had a strange feeling.

There have been many men who drew their swords in front of me. Of course I also know that everyone has their own habits when drawing their swords, but the action of this man drawing his sword seems very familiar, as if he has seen it countless times.

Seeing me staring at him in a daze, he didn't say anything. He walked over slowly with a sword in his hand, picked up a whetstone and poured some tea water, and then lightly sharpened the long sword in his hand.

Yellow rusty water slowly dripped down from the tip of the sword, and the cold light was like condensed ice water, slowly flickering in front of his eyes.

The long sword slowly revealed its true colors in his hand.

Sharp and sharp.

At this moment, even Yayoi, who was looking at the sword, seemed to have the same feeling.

Xiaoman and I have been standing by the side watching him without saying a word. When he finished his last stroke, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, and the people in custody suddenly started to exclaim, as if something terrible happened ahead. Many people panicked and ran to the back, and some even shouted——

"The Qinglong army is coming!"

"Run! They are coming!"

My heart tightened, and I heard Yayoi stand up slowly: "It came so fast."

As he spoke, he lifted up a piece of burlap next to him with the tip of his sword, and while wiping the sword stained with rusty water, he strode outside, commanding, "Stay still."

At this moment, the outside world was completely chaotic, and all the people showed the weakest side of human nature in the face of war, panic, helplessness, panic, despair, looking at those pale faces, I felt a kind of feeling in my heart. Very dull feeling.

As soon as some people saw Yayoi coming out, they rushed over as if they had caught a life-saving straw: "Doctor, doctor, save us."

"I can only take you in, but I can't save you."

Yayoi said coldly, and looked back at me, my expression changed slightly, and he said coldly again: "If you are afraid, you can continue to flee south and see what the people of Qinglong Kingdom hit place, we won’t fight anymore.”

Everyone around was stunned when they heard it.

Yayoi didn't say anything anymore, and walked forward with his sword in his hand. I followed behind him silently. When he came to a winding corridor, he suddenly asked: "Have you thought about how to face it?" ?”

"what?"

"Which side do you want to stand in this battle?"

As soon as his voice fell, my heart trembled slightly.

Indeed, I haven't figured out which camp I'm going to stand in when facing the big battle outside.I am the Empress Dowager of Qinglong Kingdom. Since Qinglong Kingdom is going to fight this battle, of course I should stand there; but now, I am walking with Yayoi. If the Qinglong army wants to flatten this manor, what should I do? Do?
Just when I was hesitating, my footsteps did not stop. After a while, when I looked up, I saw a tall gate in front of me.

Here is the main entrance of the manor.

After coming here for so many days, I have never seen its main entrance, and I don’t even know the name of the manor, but now that I finally got here, I heard the screams outside.

Now it is only Maoshi, the sky has just dawned, but the flames are already soaring into the sky, the deafening roars of people, the neighing of horses, and the sound of swords clashing through the thick courtyard walls, as well as those miserable screams, soaring into the sky The spurted blood has not yet approached, but the harsh scene of a great battle can already be felt.

I seem to have seen that day again, the bloody battle outside Fengxiang City.

The difference is that this time, I was more at a loss than last time.

Because, I have no idea where I am standing.

As we got closer and closer, when we got to the inside of the gate, we could almost smell the strong smell of blood outside, and there were constant rumbling sounds, obviously they had already killed the gate.

Yayoi frowned thickly, and reached out to open the door.

At this time, I stretched out my hand first and grabbed the knocker of the door. He looked down at me.

"I want to know which side I should be on."

After I finished speaking in a deep voice, I exerted force on my hand, and the door made a heavy sound, and finally opened slowly in front of my eyes.

The scene outside seemed to be a reappearance of the nightmares of the past, with widespread massacres, surrounded by swords, and corpses strewn all over the field with blood flowing into rivers. A hand-to-hand fight like a beast.

At a glance, I saw the flag of Qinglong Kingdom!

Drenched in blood, they have completely lost their true colors, and the people holding the flags, I hardly recognize them all under the faint morning light. Their faces are covered with blood, their swords are sharp, and they are like demons as they step on the corpses.

The moment the door opened, someone shouted——

"Empress Yongjia!"

After this loud shout, all the people seemed to be stunned. They were still full of anger just now, and they all stopped fighting slowly. Everyone looked at me dumbfounded, especially the people from Qinglong Kingdom, who seemed to dare not fight at all. Believe: "The Queen Mother is still alive?! The Queen Mother is still alive?!"

It turned out that they thought I was dead.

I looked at the scene in front of me coldly, the people who came were not from Yulongtang, and the leading generals were all the people who were promoted by Nangong Yu to the Privy Council, my heart sank immediately.

Is this battle being fought by the Nangong family?
Why did they want to fight Suzaku, and where did they have the ability to fight? Didn't Shaoyu stop it?
Just when I couldn't figure it out, the familiar voice behind me said in a tone of disbelief: "You are—Xuanyuan Xingsi?"

I looked back at Yayoi, and at this moment his expression completely changed, those indifferent eyes stared at me, as if he didn't know me at all, and seemed to have known me for a long time, when he walked slowly When he came to my side, people outside also saw him at a glance.

At this moment, a scene that I couldn't believe at all happened.

When the generals of Qinglong Kingdom saw him, they all stared wide-eyed, as if they saw some important person, they were all dumbfounded. After a while, they walked over, all with terrified expressions: "Elder Son !"

Eldest son? !

I looked back at him in astonishment——Yayoi, the eldest son of the Nangong family? !

At this moment, I seemed to suddenly think of something, countless scenes appeared in my mind, and the words of that person echoed in my ears over and over again——

"Would you like to go to the south with me to see the scenery there. There are green grass on the Shuiming Mountains, ten miles of peach blossoms and thousands of hectares of blue waves, orchids and vanilla, nymphs and warblers..."

"Actually, I have my own property there, and my uncle doesn't even know about it..."

"It's a beautiful manor. The back mountain is a large bamboo forest that can't be seen. Every morning, you can smell the fragrance of bamboo leaves and hear the calls of thrushes. You can go fishing by the lake and enjoy flowers in the garden. You can also feed pine cones to the squirrels in the woods..."

Trembling, I slowly raised my head and looked towards the top of the gate.

Do and think.

These three words slowly came into view. They were three words I was very familiar with, but it was like the tip of a needle, which made my eyes sting.

There seemed to be tears about to flow out.

"Would you like to elope with me?"

That person's voice suddenly passed through the layers of fog, passed through all the doubts and suspicions, and rang in my ears again, so deep, so gentle, and so flattering: "Xingsi, there, just a few minutes away. A mistress."

I felt my throat was blocked by something, and after a long time, I slowly turned my gaze to the man beside me, with a trembling voice: "This is his..."

There was still no expression on Yayoi's usually indifferent face, she just nodded silently.

My heart seemed to be hit hard by something, the pain was so painful that I almost stopped breathing.

Do and think.

This is what he said to me at the bottom of the first-line peak, those ten miles of peach blossoms and thousands of hectares of blue waves, those Zhilan vanilla nymphs and warblers...all are true, all are in front of my eyes, my heart is getting heavier and heavier, as if Something was heavy inside, and it was almost unbearable.

Did he lie to me?

Everything here is true!

Why, why is this so?Nangong, aren't you acting?Haven't you been deceiving me for the benefit of the Nangong family?If you are deceiving, why is there such a place, why is there this "walking and thinking", Nangong, are you real or fake?
Seeing my pale face, all the people around were puzzled, but after looking at each other, those people immediately came to me: "Queen Mother, since the Queen Mother is safe and sound, please get up and drive back to the palace immediately."

Drive back to the palace?

Although my mind was in a state of confusion, I woke up immediately at this moment, looked at them hurriedly and said, "Where is my child?"

"The little prince is naturally in the palace."

In the palace, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the child is not harmed, it will be fine.

After confirming this matter, I put down a big stone in my heart, and then I slowly stepped forward and looked at them: "I ask you, why do you talk lightly about war?"

Those people were stunned for a moment, obviously they didn't expect me to suddenly attack at this time, they were all still speechless, I have already said slowly: "The former emperor once left the seal of Yongjia, the big and small affairs of Qinglong Kingdom are gone. This seal is not allowed to be done, where did you get the courage to act beyond your authority and go south to use troops?"

"In your hands, do you have the tiger of the Ministry of War? Do you have the imperial decree of the emperor, or the oral order of the palace?!"

Those generals were left speechless by my question, and the soldiers under them also seemed a little timid. At this time, one of them slowly came up: "Queen Mother, why is this battle going to be fought? Why don't Queen Mother recall it personally?" Karma, everything will be clear.”

Pro recall industry?

Of course I should go back, but at this moment, an ominous omen suddenly appeared in my heart——Zhaoye, did something happen and I was out of control?
At this moment, several generals have slowly stretched out their hands: "Please return the Queen Mother to Zhaoye."

I stood in front of them, my doubts were even deeper, but I also knew that I couldn't not go back, my son, everything about me was left there, and my home in the Central Plains was also there.

But at this moment, a figure abruptly stopped in front of me, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yayoi.

He looked back at me: "Don't go."

His words were still simple and clear, but I read something from his slightly heavy eyes - he seemed to be implying me that if I go this way, maybe the road ahead will be more difficult.

At this time, the eyes of those generals showed a little cold light.

"Eldest son, these years, the master has always hoped that the eldest son can return to the Nangong family. It is a blessing for me to meet the eldest son again today. It happens that the queen mother is also here. Why don't you two return to Zhaoye together?" Bar."

While speaking, their tone had already been tainted with a hint of threat.

I immediately looked at them vigilantly, Yayoi didn't say a word, and slowly raised his hand, the long sword in his hand was already pointing at the other party.

No wonder I felt familiar when I saw him holding the sword, because he and that person had almost the same blood flowing from his body, and now, when he stood in front of me holding the sword, the back seemed to be familiar to my mind The figures of the people overlapped.

It's just—he, like that person, faced so many enemies.

Seeing this scene, those generals immediately sneered: "Eldest son, queen mother. You are all from the Azure Dragon Kingdom. Are you going to start a war with your own family on the land of the Suzaku Kingdom?"

My heart trembled slightly.

Yes, this is what I have been unable to make a decision just now, my position - I am the Empress Dowager Yongjia of Qinglong Kingdom, but now I am -

"Hmph," Yayoi suddenly sneered.

I was stunned, and looked up at him, only to see him looking coldly at the people in front of him: "What about the people of the Qinglong Kingdom? Back then, the Murong clan ruled the Central Plains, and the whole world was one family, so there were still monarchs and ministers who turned against each other and rebelled against the master." thing?"

As soon as this sentence was said, many people present turned pale.

And when I heard his words, there seemed to be a little light in the original chaos in my mind.

Monarchs and ministers turned against each other, turned their backs on the master and made trouble?
Such things did happen under the former Murong family’s rule, which is why the Central Plains later split into north and south, and even almost caused the Liao people to invade the customs and destroy the country. And the metaphor also laid the lead for the subsequent war disputes among the princes.

And the monarch and minister turned against each other, and the one who turned his back on the master was——

"Elder Master!" A general's face was ashen, and he slowly came up: "We are concerned about the status of the eldest son, and we don't want to face each other with swords. But if the eldest son is obsessed with obsession - the son should understand the character of the master."

"Of course I understand that those who stop him can be punished by close relatives."

Yayoi said coldly, the sword in his hand flickered coldly: "I'm going to see if you have the ability to get rid of me."

When the generals heard this, their eyes were tearing apart, and they said angrily: "My lord, you are alone, can you deal with the thousands of troops here?"

I immediately realized that, indeed, no matter how good Yayoi's martial arts were, he couldn't surpass Nangong who was holding the Moon Soul back then. What Yayoi faced was——

At this moment, a woman's piercing voice was suddenly heard.

"Who said he was alone?!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard a sudden muffled rumbling sound from the surroundings, as if there was a huge wave rushing over the mountains, and even the ground trembled slightly. We hurriedly looked up, only to find that the surroundings of the manor suddenly Thousands of Suzaku soldiers emerged.

And on our right side, a group of people came from the dust.

The leading woman was dressed in a dazzling red dress, shining through the morning light, like a blazing flame, which immediately lit up everyone's eyes, even her eyebrows were as dazzling as flames.
