Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 223 Mu Feng's Ears
On the fourth day of February, the army of Xuanyuan Kingdom marched eastward and raided the border of Qinglong Kingdom.

Although I left Zhaoye and went south for a tour, it was not impenetrable. Since Nangong Yu was in Suzaku, he could get news of me, let alone keep an eye on Xuanyuan Kingdom in the east. Xuanyuan Kang sent troops at this time. It was sudden.

Originally, he was determined to win this battle, otherwise he would not be disrespectful, but before I went south, I had already left an imperial edict to the Ministry of War.

I have also prayed thousands of times not to use this edict, because my child is still in their hands, but just in case, I still stayed, but I didn't expect it to be actually used.

When the war broke out, Ling Shaoyu immediately used the imperial decree to mobilize the western garrison, and dealt a head-on blow to Xuanyuan's army.

After the death of his father and Li Jun's suicide, several major changes have taken place in the government of Xuanyuan Kingdom. Letting others do what they can, all the trusted generals he employs are the ones who talk on paper, so this battle has just started, and they took advantage of it, but when Ling Shaoyu stabilized the situation, the battle situation changed dramatically.

This message from the eagle is to tell me that Ling Shaoyu's army has approached Meng Jing.

But, to fight or not to fight, I still have the final say.

"what to do……"

Standing on the bow of the boat, I felt that the blood in my whole body was about to condense into ice, and I looked at him helplessly: "What should I do, my child, my Mu Feng..."

"Thinking."

"What to do, my Mu Feng, what to do!?"

At the end of my talk, I had already caught the sound of crying, and my body trembled as if I couldn't support it, and I was about to fall. He hugged me quickly, and I grabbed his chest, tears filled my eyes: "What should I do? My child !"

When I was hugged tightly by him, I could also feel the uncontrollable strength of his hands, as if wanting to melt into my flesh and blood, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "It's okay."

"But, Mu Feng is in their hands, what should we do?"

At this moment, I am no longer as calm as I used to be, and I can only grab him desperately, like the only salvation in my life, I really hate myself, why did I abandon my child and go south, why did I let him be so small I have experienced so much pain at my young age, if this time, Xuanyuan Kang really disregarded the feelings of blood, my Mu Feng...

When I think of this, I almost collapse.

"Why did I go south, why did I abandon me, I...!" In a panic, I raised my head and looked at him blankly: "I, don't fight this battle, let Shaoyu come back, let them Let Mu Feng go, I don't want to..."

"Xingsi!"

He grabbed my hand and squeezed it tightly: "Calm down!"

"How can I calm down, that's my child, our child!" I grabbed him, tears welling up in my eyes: "If something happens to him, I don't want to live!"

As soon as he heard this sentence, his eyes sank, he grabbed my shoulders forcefully and forced me to look at him: "Xingsi!"

"..." I looked into his eyes anxiously.

"Listen to me," he took a deep breath: "Things may not be that simple."

"……what?"

Sensing that the people around him seemed to have noticed the movement here, he simply carried me back to the cabin, and after closing the cabin door, he said to me: "The message from Shaoyu said that he has approached Meng Jing and also That is to say, the time for this battle is not short.”

"so what?"

"For such a long time, they have been retreating steadily, why didn't they use Mu Feng to threaten Shaoyu? If they did this, Shaoyu would definitely worry about you, so they wouldn't go so far!"

As soon as I heard it, I seemed to feel something in my panicked mind.

He continued: "They didn't take advantage of Mu Feng. There are two possibilities. One is that someone is protecting Mu Feng and is not involved in this war."

I listened, and shook my head lightly—there is no such person in Xuanyuan Kingdom, the emperor father is dead, and my mother mother, these years, she has not even cared about my life or death, let alone my child.

"There is another possibility..."

"what?"

His voice was a little deeper, with a hint of tremor: "Mu Feng, you are no longer in Xuanyuan Kingdom."

My eyes widened all of a sudden: "Mu Feng is not in Xuanyuan Kingdom? What do you mean?"

"I can't guess why, but only in this way can explain why Xuanyuan Kang suddenly invaded the Qinglong border, and has not used Mu Feng to coerce Shaoyu until now."

What he meant was that Mu Feng left Xuanyuan Kingdom, and Xuanyuan Kang originally intended to go east to use troops. He had no way to explain to me that Mu Feng left, so he simply used war to speak for him, but also because Mu Feng was not in his hands, He didn't have any tools to restrain me, so he was forced to retreat by Shaoyu.

but--

I looked at him: "Then, where will Mu Feng be?"

After getting this message, our ship immediately turned around and headed westward. After landing at the ferry, we headed north along the way, and Shaoyu's army had already beaten Wancheng and occupied Fengyuan.

The day we arrived in Fengyuan was a gloomy day, the sky was covered by yellow sand, although there was no fight, the tip of our nose seemed to smell blood all the time.

Under such a cloudy sky, the south gate of Fengyuan opened, and Shaoyu led the soldiers to kneel under the gate to welcome them.

I got out of the carriage and immediately walked towards him, only to see that the still immature face had some scars, but it was also full of masculine toughness, looking up at me: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live. "

"Shaoyu!" I hurriedly helped him up: "How is the situation?"

"Our side wins."

At this time, the ghost face also came behind me, Shaoyu glanced at him, nodded slightly, and he also nodded, I hurriedly asked: "Then - where is Mu Feng?"

Shaoyu glanced at me, his face was slightly gloomy, and said: "No news."

really.

Even now, Xuanyuankang still has no intention of using Mu Feng to coerce us. Are we really guessing right?

Accompanied by them, I boarded the city tower and looked at the familiar city in the distance——Mengjing, the capital of my home country, and the hometown where I have lived since I was a child, but at this moment it is me, soldiers approaching the city, The sword points to the old capital.

"The siege battle is just around the corner." Shaoyu stood behind me and said slowly: "If it continues to be delayed, I will worry that they will send troops from the west again. At that time, if they want to attack the city again, I'm afraid it will be too late." Difficult."

"..."

"Your Majesty, to fight or not to fight, the last general will wait for the Emperor's word."

As soon as Ling Shaoyu finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps coming from the bottom of the tower. After a closer look, it was a young general who hurried up the tower and knelt down in front of us.

Shao Yu took a step forward: "What's the matter?"

"Xuanyuan Kingdom sent an envoy, saying that there is something that they want to hand over to the emperor."

"Oh?"

As soon as I heard that there was something to be handed over to someone, I immediately became nervous. A hand next to me reached out and held my fingertips. Looking back, those eyes looked at me calmly: "It's okay."

I nodded silently and asked, "Where's the envoy?"

"Go back to the emperor, you have already arrived in the hall."

A group of us hurried to the lobby, and sure enough, we saw a man wearing Xuanyuan Kingdom court uniform standing there. He looked up at me, with a look of contempt on his face, and casually cupped his hands: "Xuanyuan Kingdom envoy, have you seen Qinglong?" emperor."

In the past, I would have already lost my temper, but now I can only hold back and ask: "What did Xuanyuan Kang ask you to do?"

"I bring a word from my lord to Qinglong Emperor, and there is one more thing."

"Oh? What?"

"I want the Qinglong Emperor to withdraw his troops immediately, leave Wancheng for thirty miles, and not set foot in the border of Xuanyuan again."

As soon as his words fell, there was a loud "boom", and Shaoyu punched the desk hard, and the whole book desk was immediately broken in half by him. He said angrily: "Who is it, regardless Daoyi sent troops to attack the border of our country, now you are confident, believe it or not—”

"Shaoyu..." Guimian stretched out his hand to stop it, and then Shaoyu swallowed the remaining words reluctantly.

When the envoy saw Shaoyu's supernatural power, he seemed to be taken aback, but he turned his head to look at me, and said arrogantly: "This is what my lord wants, and I hope Qinglong Emperor will do it."

I gritted my teeth: "What if I don't retreat?"

"Don't retreat?" He sneered, and suddenly took out a box: "Please take a look at the contents of this box."

I looked at the small box, but I didn't know what was in it. Yu Sui'er immediately stepped forward and gave the box to me. I took the box and gently buckled it, and the lid opened immediately.

Inside, is a bloody ear!

It was a tiny ear, hardly bigger than my thumb, and it was clearly a child's ear.

The child's—ears? !
For a moment, the blood in my whole body seemed to be drained. I stared at the ear, and inserted my nails into the wooden box fiercely.

Those are Mu Feng's ears!

My child, he is so young, how could he endure such torture, how could he endure such pain!
When I think of the pain he is suffering now, I feel as if thousands of sharp knives have been pierced into my heart. The pain is so painful that I can’t continue to breathe. Seeing the things in the box, his eyes widened.

"This--"

Before he finished speaking, the box fell from my hand, and the little ears fell to the ground. Shaoyu and Yu Sui'er next to me saw it all, and they let out a low cry in shock.

"This is--"

The envoy looked at our group of people who were so shocked that they dared not move, but he became proud and said with a sneer: "I believe Qinglong Emperor knows whose ear it is. If you don't retreat, my lord said, I will send it next." Yes, it’s not just ears, after all, there are many eyes and noses on a human body, and we still have many gifts, hahahaha.”

As he spoke, he laughed and turned around and walked away.

I stood there, as if my whole body was in a world of ice and snow, trembling until all the bones in my body were about to be broken, staring at that ear, and the ghost face was also staring at that ear, but his hand holding me was the same as before Steady, even at this moment, more steady.

Just when the envoy was about to step out of the gate, his voice suddenly rang in his ears——

"Shao Yu, kill him for me!"

what? !

I was shocked. When the envoy heard this, before he had time to run away, Shaoyu had already stepped forward and pointed his sword at his throat. He immediately screamed: "The two countries are at war, if you don't kill the envoy! If you If you dare to kill me, you just wait to collect that child's body!"

I also hurriedly grabbed the ghost face's hand: "No!"

But he didn't even look at me, and said in a deep voice, "Kill him!"

"Do not--!"

Accompanied by my miserable cry, the sword in Shaoyu's hand pierced the man's throat with a "poof", and the blood spattered three feet immediately. Blood gushed out of the hole on the top, staining a large area red.

I was already stunned by the sudden change in front of me, and it took me a long time to turn my head stiffly, looking at those bloodshot eyes, he killed the envoy, he clearly knew that Mu Feng was in their hands, and he still—

"You are crazy! Mu Feng is still in their hands!"

Facing my anxiety, he remained calm and said softly: "Mu Feng, it's not in their hands."

"what?"

I was taken aback, and saw his gaze turned to the ear that fell on the ground again. After looking at it for a while, I suddenly remembered that there was no birthmark on this ear just now!

"Xuanyuan Kang just randomly found a child, cut off his ear and sent it here, just to upset your mind and make you retreat because of concern for Mu Feng's safety. As soon as we retreat, they will definitely pursue us immediately. By that time The outcome is unpredictable."

Listening to his steady voice, the panic in my heart calmed down a little, but when I saw that small ear, I felt angry again.

Although it's not Mu Feng's, he must be a babbling child. Xuanyuan Kang did such a vicious trick just to hit me. Isn't he afraid of retribution? !
Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth with hatred.

At this time, Shaoyu took a step forward: "Then, you asked me to kill the envoy, is it—"

He said coldly: "Xuanyuan Kang must believe that you will retreat because of Mu Feng, maybe he is still waiting for the envoy to go back to deliver the message, so—"

I looked up at him, he looked coldly at the corpse on the ground, walked to the gate, turned around and said, "Shao Yu."

Shaoyu immediately stepped forward: "Yes."

"Siege!"

This battle, within reason, was beyond everyone's expectations.

Standing on the city tower, I watched the smoke rising from a distance, engulfing the familiar city, and I could still hear the shouts, screams, and cries of people in the wind, as well as the beacon smoke. The flames of war merged into a tragic scene.

A sight I will never forget in my life.

My homeland is under my feet, and my hometown is far away, but it is my army that is occupying it now.

He has been standing behind me, holding my sweaty hand, the north is cold, blowing our long hair high, tangled in the wind.

After a long time, I heard him say, "I fought this battle."

I slowly raised my head and looked at his indifferent mask.

"Nothing to do with you."

No matter who is fighting, war is war.

The same gunpowder smoke, the same slaying, the same corpses litter the field, and the same blood flowed like a river. Even sitting in a carriage with heavy curtains all around, it still can't cover up the thick bloody smell that is blowing to the nose one after another. Drill in.

And when we entered Mengjing, it wasn't the smell of blood that came over us again.

As soon as the city gate was broken, the whole of Mengjing fell into an unprecedented panic. When the carriage entered the palace gate surrounded by heavy guards of soldiers, the Imperial Forest Army, palace maids and eunuchs were all in a mess, and the crowd surged like a tsunami. Come on, I heard those familiar local accents screaming in my ears, calling for help, every cry was like a needle piercing into my heart.

The palms are full of sweat.

At this time, a warm and steady big hand stretched out and took my hand full of cold sweat.

I turned my head to look at him, but he didn't look at me. Those calm eyes looked forward vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "Guard the nine gates, and no one in the palace is allowed to escape without authorization. In the entire Mengjing city, three Children under the age of [-] must be checked out!"

"Yes!" The soldiers outside took orders immediately.

After saying this, he turned his head and looked at me: "It's okay."

These three words are what he said to me the most these days, but no matter what, it seems that there are always things happening in front of us, which constantly scare me and make me want to quit. Fortunately, he said these three words When writing, he was still by my side.

"Let's go."

I nodded, he had already got out of the carriage, and then stretched out his hand to me, I held his hand, and slowly got out of the carriage.

I returned to Xuanyuan Palace again.

If I look up and look at the sky, it is still as blue as before, even clearer and bluer than the day I left Meng Jing to get married. Under the cloudless sky is this majestic Qionglouyuyu, exquisite pavilions The pavilions and even the multicolored glazed tiles on the Xuanyuan Hall are illuminated by the sun, reflecting the familiar dazzling light.

But under all this, everything has changed.

A few years ago, I got married and left, and here was a dazzling red; today, when I came back again, it was also red, but it was the deep red of blood.

I was heavily guarded by guards, and I walked step by step among the familiar red walls and green tiles. There were still people on both sides of the road resisting and fighting, and when they saw me, Princess Ruyi of Xuanyuan Kingdom, I heard them Before he died, he muttered cursing, the shrill voice was like a ghost crying.

With a blank expression on my face, I walked up to Xuanyuan Hall step by step.

As soon as he reached the door, Shaoyu stood there, and when he saw me, he immediately took a step forward: "Your Majesty, all members of Xuanyuan Kingdom's royal family are in the main hall."

I nodded silently and walked into the hall slowly.

A gust of bloody wind blew into the empty hall, hovered between the countless beams and columns, and let out a low growl, which made people shudder. Usually, the place is always full of civil and military officials, but Now standing here are those concubines who are dressed in silk and satin, with messy blue hair and gold hairpins slanting down. They look at me like they are looking at a devil, their eyes are horrified, but more, they are deeply disgusted.

"It's her, it really is her, she really came back!"

"I shouldn't have left her back then, even killed my own brother, and now I'm still attacking my homeland!"

"Such a woman is simply heinous!"

These words kept drilling into my ears, but I didn’t seem to hear them at all. I just stood coldly in the center of the hall and looked up, without saying a word. After a while, I slowly walked up the hall step by step. above.

Beside the dragon chair, a tall and thin figure was standing there.

She was wearing a phoenix crown and a golden robe. Because she was too thin, she felt a little weak, but when she heard my footsteps, she slowly turned her head and moved her eyes from the empty dragon chair to me. The faint, indifferent look on his face still made me feel—a kind of hatred surged from my heart.

I walked up to her, less than three steps away, and stopped.

After a long silence, she said softly, "The Azure Dragon Emperor?"

"My son, I have seen my mother."

"Don't dare."

Obviously I led the soldiers to fight back, but when she said these two words, it seemed that she had already defeated thousands of troops, enough to crush my bones. I gritted my teeth, held back the tears that were about to burst into my eyes, and watched The woman in front of me is my mother, the queen of Xuanyuan Kingdom.

She is already in her 40s, but she looks older than this age. Although her hair is still black and her skin is smooth and fair, what is old is her eyes. She looks at anyone and everything with indifference Alienated, especially when she looked at the daughter in front of her who still had her blood running through her body.

"My son thought that the queen mother had lived in the Buddhist hall all these years, she didn't care about world affairs, and she wouldn't even ask about her son's departure. So when the son came back today, the mother's queen should also chant scriptures and worship Buddha in the Buddhist hall, but I didn't expect the mother to appear."

She looked at me indifferently: "I want to see, what is it like for Princess Ruyi who left Xuanyuan Kingdom to become the monarch of the largest country in the East?"

"My son, did you disappoint the queen mother?"

She sneered, looked at the panic outside the hall, and then at the panicked concubines in the hall, and said, "Not really. Your disposition should be like this."

As soon as I clenched my fist hard, my nails were inserted into my palm abruptly.

Just when I was almost unable to control myself, there was another rush of footsteps outside the hall, and I saw Shaoyu rushing in with someone, and whispered in my ear: "Your Majesty, there is Xuanyuankang. It's gone."

"where is it?"

"The man hasn't been found yet, but his clothes were seen in the back. He should have mixed in with the crowd or hid somewhere."

I gritted my teeth, and immediately turned around and walked towards the gate. Just as I got to the gate, I heard my mother's voice coldly behind me: "Xuanyuan Xingsi."

I stopped.

"Back then, you had already killed a brother. Today, do you want to repeat the old trick?"

Hearing this sentence, the last pain in my heart suddenly spread to my whole body, but it disappeared like this. I seemed to have lost all my senses for a while, and turned around slowly like a wooden man, looking Looking at the person in the main hall, he sneered.

"Empress Xuanyuan, you used to get along with me day and night, but it's a pity that you are not as good as Li Jun."

She froze and looked at me with wide eyes.

"However," I said coldly, "I'm coming back this time, and I really intend to repeat the old tricks!"
