Return after the poison of rebirth

Chapter 205 Snow Soul Festival

Leng Yue hesitated for a long time, then turned around with a "heroic" face, and pushed Liu Yunjin in front of the tent again.

Liu Yunjin looked surprised, and before she could stand still, Leng Yue knelt down for her, "There are dozens of living Gu on the master's body, which have been kept in the body for more than 20 years, and now it has become an incurable Gu The poison is completely suppressed by the lord's strong internal force, every [-]th day of the full moon, the Gu worms will wake up and suck the moonlight essence, and the [-]th day is also the time when the lord is weakest, and he can hardly use his internal force."

She didn't know such an important thing until now!

Leng Yuechang knelt down and said: "This is the master's secret, and no one else knows it except me. But tonight is the fifteenth day of the full moon..."

A cold sneer came from the top of his head, "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Jun Yi has not returned yet. It seems that the Queen Mother already knows his secret. Only when he is weakest can he be killed without any risk. The Queen Mother This old fox must have been waiting for a long time..."

The delicate and cool hand landed on Leng Yue's shoulder, "Three points are determined by the sky, and seven points are determined by people. Even if you lay a net of killings, there will be fish that slip through the net. Although your master is weak in body, he has no brains." Bad, it will take some effort to kill him. You stay here and guard, and I will go to the battlefield to bring him back."

"No!" Leng Yue immediately shook her head, "The lord cares about you the most. If you make a mistake, I can only commit seppuku. Besides, you are a daughter, so if you are captured by the Nanzhao enemy."

Leng Yue got up and was about to go out, "I'll go to the Lord and come back!"

Liu Yunjin didn't stop her, but said quietly: "Go! As soon as you leave, the Third Highness and the Fifth Prince will find me for tea and dinner. At that time, you and your master will go to the underworld together. Do you mean that I will marry another How about giving it to His Highness the Third Highness? Or the Fifth Prince?"

Leng Yue's slender back froze, Leng Mei's face was full of anger, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "You're ruthless!" Reluctantly, she stayed in the tent with her ears drooped.

Liu Yunjin got out of the tent and picked a good horse from the stables. Without saying hello to anyone, he rode the horse out of the barracks directly, and drove through the vast snow curtain to the depths of the wilderness.

A black figure appeared beside Murong Yun who was watching the snow in front of the tent, "My lord, she rode out of the barracks and seemed to be heading towards the battlefield. Do you want to stop her?"

Murong Yun stretched out his rough and scarred palm from the black cloak to hold a piece of snow, and the cold snow quickly turned into a drop of water, like pure tears.

"No need! This king said that she is the eternally hard-to-find Xiao Ji, let her go!" Murong Yun lowered his deep eyebrows and looked at the melting snow in his hands.

The clarity and cleanliness of his palm never belonged to him.Since he was five years old, he has assumed the status of "the son of a sinful concubine".It was like the darkness and evil mixed in his blood, so when he was young, he would be pointed at by the maids and eunuchs when he walked in the palace.

"But..." The figure behind him wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Murong Yun's voice.

"Uncle Dumb, I haven't heard silk and bamboo in the frontier fortress for a long time. This king really misses the song "Snow Soul Festival" on the terrace of the waterside pavilion." Pieces of falling snow stuck to his brows and between his eyelashes, adding a sense of tranquility and sadness .

"Uncle dumb, can you sing?" He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking the people behind him.

There was only the sound of cold wind and snow behind him, and there was no answer for a long time.

He chuckled lightly, with sarcasm in his eyes, "I forgot that after the death of the concubine mother, everyone around the concubine mother was poisoned and dumb."

Uncle Mute was a martial arts master he invited into the palace when he was young, and he couldn't escape the fate of being poisoned and dumb.For so many years, he has followed Murong Yun by his side, always relying on his internal strength to make his voice heard.

"This king himself can sing, 'Santu River on Huangquan Road, I hope you will return in the snowy season. Don't drink the wine in Meng Po's cup, and you will be able to entangle you in the next life...'" The vicissitudes of life and low hoarse voice sang this song and it has been passed down through the ages The tragic and stirring dirge, passed through the cold snow of today's frontier fortress, and fell on the beautiful waterside terraces of the imperial city.

He was only five years old that year, and he was a concubine in December. Because his birthday was in the snowy moon and he had a beautiful face in the snow, he was canonized as a concubine by Emperor Yuxuan.

Fifteen years ago, she was a favorite for a time, and the only one who can match her appearance and love her is the current Concubine Pear.It's a pity that due to his mother and concubine status, he can only be made a concubine, not a concubine.

In December, in his mother's concubine's birthday palace, a stage was set up on the waterside pavilion, and Hua Dan in Tsing Yi was invited to sing "Snow Soul Sacrifice", which was his mother's concubine's favorite song.

Only halfway through the ups and downs of the sad song, the mother and concubine were taken away by two tall nuns.

Seeing the frightened expression on the concubine mother's face, he wanted to follow, but the nanny next to him stopped him and told him that the empress dowager wanted to talk to the concubine mother, so he could not follow.

So, he watched the whole "Snow Soul Sacrifice" uneasily under the gloating and tacit eyes of his concubines, but his mother and concubine still didn't come back.

Regardless of the mother's obstruction, he rushed back to the concubine's bedroom, where he saw the concubine's body.

He recalled the last scene in "Snow Soul Sacrifice", where Xiaoji's husband married the princess, and she stabbed a dagger into her heart that same night.She can lead the army to retreat and retrieve her husband from corpses in the bloody battlefield, and she can also leave without nostalgia when he makes a new love.

Even if it has been sung for thousands of years, it is still a tragedy.

Xiaoji's tearful laughter was still in his ears, but his mother and concubine also died.

The concubine mother's delicate and beautiful eyes were protruding out, her neat black hair hung messily on her shoulders, and the mother's limp, motionless head hung on her shoulders.

On her fair neck was a bright red scar like blood, which was the most glamorous and cruel color in the world.

The nanny came up to cover his eyes and told him that his mother and concubine pushed Concubine Xian into the river a few days ago and drowned Concubine Xian.

Yizhang Hong, Yizhang Hongchen upside down torture, what a nice name.

For ten years, he was raised in the palace and suffered all kinds of humiliation from his servants. His concubines stared blankly at him, and he dared not raise his head to be a man because of his "vicious" mother and concubine.Even when he saw the second prince born by Concubine Xian, he felt a deep sense of guilt.

It wasn't until the night before he went to the fief that the nanny who was poisoned and dumb wrote the truth of the year stained with blood.

Concubine Xian was having an affair with a close servant of the Empress Dowager, and was bumped into by her mother and concubine.The constant attendant next to the queen mother is the queen mother's nephew. In order to preserve her own blood, the queen mother let the concubine Xian commit suicide, and at the same time took the opportunity to get rid of his mother and concubine.

Concubine Xian had a secret love affair with the empress dowager's nephew before entering the palace, and it is not known whether the current Second Highness is the blood of Emperor Yuxuan.The Empress Dowager was worried that this matter would involve too much, so she promised Concubine Xian that if she committed suicide, she would keep the second prince.

After Concubine Xian committed suicide by jumping into the river, the Empress Dowager put this unnecessary crime on his concubine mother.It was said that it was bestowed with a foot of red, but in fact, the capable nanny around him strangled his mother and concubine to death.

Now the empress dowager's nephew has been promoted a few ranks, and has become a senior official of salt and iron, holding the lifeline of the country for the empress dowager's line, and at the same time consolidating the empress dowager's power in the court.

The snow concubine who had no support from her mother's family back then really melted away like spring snow, even Emperor Yuxuan forgot about it.

After the nanny told him the truth, she hanged herself on the hanging beam in her room the next day.

If he didn't know this, he could still be a chess piece used by the Queen Mother with peace of mind.But he already knew the truth, so he had to make those people back then pay with blood.

……

The sad and lingering tune passes through the falling snow, echoes in the lonely snowy field under the gloomy sky.

The dumb uncle sighed: "My lord, don't sing! What happened back then, let it go." He watched Murong Yun grow up, and he only wanted to let him live a stable life.

"In the past?" He laughed hoarsely, "I can't get through it! Why have I been stationed in the frontier for eight years? Dumb uncle, you should understand."

He stood in the snow, standing tall, holding the heavy cold iron sword at his waist.

The black cloak was filled with falling snow, and it became the only drop of ink under the snowy sky.It is also a tombstone condensed by Zhan Ye heroic soul.

"Compared to the cold cage in the imperial city, this is my hometown. The soldiers on the frontier are all trained by me. I am more familiar with the desolation and vastness of this land than anything else. Nanling is hot and humid, richer than this A hundred times, but it's not where I want to stay. Xue Po, do you want to go there?" He stretched out his hand to pick Haidongqing who was parked on his broad shoulders.

The dumb uncle looked at the tall and lonely figure in the snow curtain, his eyes trembling.I can't say a word if I want to persuade.Murong Yun's character is unruly and yearning for freedom, just like Hai Dongqing on her shoulders.The vast and cold frontier has become the most suitable place for him.Perhaps it was the tragic and dark memories of his childhood that made him never want to go back to that cage.

Murong Yun raised his arms and watched Hai Dongqing flying towards the sky through the snow.

"Bring her back, and the man who can't die yet." Once King Nanling dies, the Empress Dowager Changde can rest easy.Only with checks and balances can the world be peaceful.

If the entire world belongs to the Murong family, the queen mother should take a stab at them.There is only one throne, and she is reluctant to let it go. Emperor Yuxuan has five sons under his knees.That can only cut off those who compete with her for power one by one.In the face of the temptation of power, blood relationship is not worth mentioning.

In the tent not far away, Murong Yu suddenly stood up, knocked over the table in front of her knees, and the fragrant warm tea splashed all over the ground.

Chang Kong showed panic and stepped forward to wipe it for him, but Murong Yu opened his hand.

"She's going out of the barracks, why didn't you stop her!" Murong Yu suddenly clenched her fingers on her knees, stood up anxiously the next moment, and strode towards the tent door.

"Where are you going, Your Highness?" Chang Kong took a few steps on his knees, and put his hands across Murong Yu's face, "Your Highness has been planning for so long, and you can't just fall short for a woman!"

"Go out of the sky!" He lowered his jade-like eyes, staring at the sky in front of him coldly and impatiently.

"Your Highness!" Changkong called out in pain, and kowtowed heavily to him: "Your Highness, don't you know that there are heavy troops hoarded in the north and south, and there are also Nanzhao enemy troops, there may be hundreds of thousands of them. The past of the prince is no different from muddy cows. He, he cannot protect himself. The Empress Dowager has issued a secret decree that the King of Nanling must die. Only after he dies can the court be stable. Your Highness, please think twice, and you must not lose the big because of small things!"

A bitter and mocking smile appeared on Murong Yu's gentle and handsome face, "So you mean to let me watch her die on the battlefield?"

"Subordinate..." Changkong hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth, "In her eyes, she only has King Nanling in her heart. Why does Your Highness risk her life for her? If she dies, she will be responsible for it."

Murong Yu's face turned cold, and he looked at the sky with darkness in his eyes.

Changkong thought that His Highness was moved by him, and soon a gust of wind passed by him.Murong Yu had bypassed him and went straight out of the tent.

"Your Highness!" Changkong stood up in panic.His Highness has always read poetry and books, but has never studied martial arts.If it was on the battlefield, it would be no different from death.

When Chang Kong chased him out, Murong Yu had already chased him out of the barracks on horseback.

"Your Highness—" a hoarse cry startled many soldiers.

In Murong Yun's tent, there were also a lot of warm wine and dishes, just now the soldiers came to report that the third prince had also left the barracks on horseback, and he did not bring anyone with him.

He held the porcelain cup carved with plum blossoms and shook it gently with his fingertips, and an intoxicating aroma of wine overflowed, "It is said that the royal family has no true feelings, but it is strange that Murong Yu has deep roots in love. He has always been loyal to the Murong family. After all the tricks and schemes have been exhausted, there is still a place left for the sweetheart..."

The soldiers were confused, they were all old and rough, how could they understand the profound words of the Fifth Prince, they just asked curiously: "The Lord means to ignore the Third Highness?"

"Of course not!" He put down the porcelain cup in his hand, looked at the falling snow outside, and said calmly, "Catch up and protect the safety of His Royal Highness."

Even if he doesn't like this third brother any more, he can't let him make a mistake in the frontier.

As soon as the soldiers retreated, Zhang Kong broke in panting, looked at the food and drink in front of Murong Yun, and said unceremoniously: "The third highness went to the wilderness battlefield alone, and you still have the heart to drink here! If the third highness leaves What a mistake, do you think the queen mother will spare you?"

The soldier behind raised the spear in his hand and said, "Bold!"

The fifth prince is their master, and he is someone they are willing to admire. How can the lackeys around the third prince be allowed to bark indiscriminately.

Chang Kong's face turned pale, and he poured out all his resentment on Murong Yun, "Yo! Why do you want to kill me? You are just an idle prince, and you really think that you can be king by guarding a corner of the frontier?"

Murong Yun looked at the steam rolling on the small stove, raised his sharp and deep eyebrows, glanced at the sky through the mist, and said very calmly: "I don't dare to be king, if I just teach the servants around the third prince, I still dare." .”

"You..." Zhang Kong glared angrily.

With a flick of Murong Yun's fingertips, the cup drew a meteor-like arc and hit Zhang Kong's acupuncture points hard, and the clear wine spilled all over his shoulders.Suddenly, his body softened, and he was actually frozen.
