Jiangbei female bandits

Chapter 78
Qiu Muling remained silent, and neither did Chen Nian, just sat silently for a while, Ling Que and Fang Xun turned around, and came to find Chen Nian to discuss matters.Chen Nian was worried about Qiu Mu Lingyue's safety, so he didn't dare to stay away, so he just walked to the side, and asked Ling Que in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

Lingque said: "The king of Yunxi just brought the vanguard cavalry here this time. It will take a few days for the army to arrive. Then we will have a decisive battle with Tuobayao in Taixing."

Chen Nian nodded, then carefully asked about the specific situation, and made a rough calculation in his mind, even if Feng Junyang, Zheng Lun, and He Ze's team were all together, they could barely equal Tuoba Yao.But Tuobayao has the advantage of defending the city, so if he fights him in Taixing like this, the odds of winning are really slim.

Although Fang Xun also came from a reckless background, his mind is much clearer than that of Lingque. Seeing that Chen Nian was silent, he added: "I heard what King Yunxi said, it doesn't seem like he wants to attack the city, but he wants to fight against the army of the Xian family." .”

Chen Nian raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, did Feng Junyang have a plan to lure the enemy?She couldn't guess Feng Junyang's plan for a while, so she simply didn't think about it anymore, sent Ling Que and Fang Xun away, and turned around to return to her foster father.I didn't want to take a few steps, but I caught a glimpse of a figure swaying in the woods, and the figure looked like Yun Sheng.

Chen Nian was secretly surprised, thought for a while, turned around and chased the sparrows and the others, walked for a while but sneaked back, flew lightly to a big tree beside him, hid his figure among the branches and leaves, clasped his hands He threw a dart and looked silently under the tree where Qiu Mu Lingyue was.

After a while, Yun Sheng really appeared, holding a dagger, walking carefully step by step towards Qiu Mu Lingyue.

Although Qiu Mu Lingyue's acupoints were sealed, his hearing was not damaged, so it was easy to tell that he was not a Chennian.He opened his eyes and looked, seeing that it was Yun Sheng, he was startled for a moment, and then his brows furrowed.Yun bit her lower lip tightly, but the hand holding the dagger was still trembling uncontrollably, and her steps seemed to be extremely heavy, it was only seven or eight steps away, but it took a while to reach Qiu Mulingyue.

Qiu Muling remained silent until Yunsheng approached, then forced himself to stand up, leaned against the tree, looked at Yunsheng indifferently, and waited for her to come forward. Calling for help doesn't even bother to do it.

Chen Nian hid in the tree, and could only see Yun Sheng's back, saw her arm raised high, and was about to shoot a dart to hit her wrist, but Yun Sheng held her arm in mid-air for a moment, but in the end it was powerless. When it fell down, the dagger also slipped from her hand and hit the grass with a low sound.

While Chen Nian was surprised, he saw Yun Sheng slowly squatting down, covering his face with his hands, and burst into tears.The cry was extremely low, obviously trying to suppress it, only some sobs leaked from between the hands, and it made people feel even more uncomfortable when they heard it.

Not to mention Qiu Mulingyue, even Chen Nian, he was a little confused for a while.Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, took back the dart, and looked quietly under the tree.

Yunsheng only cried for a short while, then stood up from the ground, raised his hand and wiped the tears on his face indiscriminately, and said in a hoarse voice to Qiu Muling: "I won't kill you, if I do, thank you My sister wants to avenge you again, I am not afraid of death, but I will also implicate my twelve brothers and the people of Taixing."

She didn't want to cry in front of him, but she wiped more and more tears.It was this person who took her captive from Taixing to Mobei Royal Court. During the journey of thousands of miles, countless robberies and dangers, everyone around her died one by one, and only the two of them were left.He was indifferent and reticent, but he stood in front of her without hesitation at the critical moment of life and death. She clearly knew that he was only trying to save the life of the "orphan of the princess", but her heart still fell uncontrollably.

Perhaps, since Fei Longxing saw that lonely and indifferent swordsman, her heart has already moved.That's why she followed him, even when he was seriously injured and unconscious, she didn't escape alone.For three days and two nights, he was in a coma for three days and two nights, but she guarded him for three days and two nights, and cried for three days and two nights...

Yunsheng knew that he had a woman named A Yuan in his heart, because he kept calling that name when he was unconscious, but she had lived and died with him, so he thought that in his heart, she was at least different from other people.In the end, I realized that I was just fooling myself.He is Qiu Mu Lingyue, and he only loves A Yuan.No matter how envious she is, that infatuation has nothing to do with her.

Yunsheng's tears finally stopped, she bent down and picked up the dagger from the ground, put it directly into her bosom, stood there staring at Qiu Mulingyue in a daze.The more Qiu Muling didn't know Yun Sheng's thoughts, seeing her strange words and deeds, her eyes were puzzled, but her brows were furrowed even tighter.

Yun Sheng saw it in his eyes, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "Qiu Mulingyue, I don't know what kind of person your A Yuan is, but I don't think she would want you to live in hatred all your life, even Her daughter doesn't care about it. Sister Xie values ​​love and righteousness, but are you worthy of her love? She treats you as her biological father, do you really treat her as a daughter? If you really treat Chen Nian as a daughter How could you be willing to leave her alone in the turbulent Jiangbei? For a few years, she was ignored!"

Yunsheng backed away slowly, but his eyes were fixed on Qiu Muling, and he asked again: "When A Yuan was dying, what he couldn't forget was that you wanted to avenge her, or her daughter? Are you going to take revenge? For yourself, or for A Yuan?"

There was finally a slight shock on Qiu Muling's indifferent face, Yun Sheng already had the answer in his heart, looked deeply at Qiu Muling, smiled sadly, then turned and left resolutely.The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and only the rustling of wind-blown leaves remained. After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Mu Lingyue took a deep breath, and said lightly, "Come out."

Chen Nian jumped down from the tree where he was hiding, walked towards Qiu Muling, and carefully called: "Father."

Qiu Muling looked at her more, and said: "When your mother was dying, she really only wanted me to raise you, and didn't want me to avenge her. I killed He Zhen and the He family, mostly to vent my hatred for myself. You also hate it more than you like it, because you have He Zhen's blood on your body, and it is A Yuan who was deceived by him and gave birth to him."

These are all the words that Yunsheng should answer, and he told Chen Nian one by one, but the last sentence was not the truth.He originally liked Chen Nian more than he hated it. No matter what, she was his raised child, so he left her in Jiangbei, hoping that she could live freely.But he didn't want her to go the same way as A Yuan. After being sad, he was disappointed, so all he had in his heart was to avenge A Yuan.

Chen Nian's voice was a little choked, and he forced a smile and said, "No matter what, my adoptive father has raised me. I can only be grateful to my adoptive father, and have absolutely no resentment."

Qiu Muling didn't speak any more, just slowly sat down on the ground along the trunk of the tree, closed his eyes and remained silent.Chen Nian also had nothing to say, and sat with him until dark, until someone came to report that Feng Junyang was looking for her, then he called Shada and Wen Daya over, and said, "Help me take good care of my adoptive father, Don't allow anyone to come near, if there is a situation, call me loudly." She paused for a while, and then emphasized, "Keep my adoptive father safe!"

Stupid and stupid, he only answered "Yes" when he got the order, but Wen Daya saw that Chen Nian was worried, and said: "Master, when we were in Niutou village, it was this master who saved our lives. We all remember this kindness. If we meet on the battlefield, he is Qiu Mu Lingyue, the general of the Xian family, and we will fight him to the death. But now, he is just the adoptive father of the head of the family, our benefactor , unless the two of us die first, no one can hurt him a bit."

Chen Nian was grateful in his heart, nodded to Wen Daya, and then turned to see Feng Junyang.

Feng Junyang was waiting outside the rebel camp, standing alone with his hands behind his back, without any personal guards, even Shunping was not in front of him.Chen Nian looked strange, and asked directly: "What's the matter?"

Feng Junyang turned around and looked at her with a chuckle, and replied, "It's okay, I just missed you."

Chen Nian frowned, and Feng Junyang changed his words in time: "It's about your adoptive father." He solemnly said, "Many generals in He Ze's army are from Taixing. Hate to the bone, even if He Ze can hold back temporarily not to seek revenge on Qiu Muling, those generals may not be able to bear it. It is really dangerous for you to keep Qiu Muling here, why don't you take him away first, How are you?"

Chen Nian thought for a while and said, "I understand your kindness, but I can't leave now."

Her answer was already expected by Feng Junyang, he could only smile helplessly.It was the middle of the month at this time, and a full moon in the night sky was bright and bright, like a silver plate, which made the bonfire in the distance much darker.Under the moonlight, her face is exquisite and beautiful, so beautiful.Feng Junyang looked at her quietly, and sighed, "Why are you so stubborn?"

Chen Nian pursed his lips slightly, remained silent for a moment, but said in a low voice: "It's not the first day you know."

Feng Junyang bent his lips and smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Yes, it's not the first day I know."

Both of them fell silent for a moment, and after a while, Chen Nian said again: "I want to enter Taixing City, I want to—"

"I have my own way to win, and I don't need you to go in and take risks." Feng Junyang interrupted her without allowing her to finish speaking, paused, and explained, "A long time ago, I ordered Fan Jingyun to go to Xian's Royal Court , to instigate the rebellion of several old clans such as Helan and Hegu of the Xian clan. Right now, the royal court of the Xian clan is in chaos, and after receiving the news, Tuoba Yao must lead his troops back to the north to put down the rebellion, and this is a good opportunity to defeat him."

He has nothing to hide, and he confided his plan to Chen Nian, which is a rare confession.Chen Nian had expected that he had other plans, so he didn't feel surprised when he heard it now, he just asked: "But what if Tuoba Yao refuses to return to the north? That person is competitive, if he sticks to Taixing, what should he do? Or What if I put all my eggs in one basket and fight you here?"

Feng Junyang replied in a deep voice: "If he sticks to it, I will besiege him and consume him to death in Taixing. If he fights decisively, I will fight. The internal strife in the Xian family will inevitably fluctuate the morale of the army. Although it is difficult to defeat him, it is not impossible. Things."

Chen Nian thought for a while, then asked again: "You also said that it is difficult to defeat him, do you know how many lives will be lost in this difficulty?"

Feng Junyang couldn't give a definite answer to this question.If Tuobayao could be chased and intercepted when he returned to the north, perhaps fewer soldiers would be lost, but if it was a direct battle, both sides would suffer huge losses.

"You and Tuobayao's decisive battle will most likely result in a loss for both sides. Jiangnan still has Qi Xiang sitting and watching, what if he takes the opportunity to go north? Or go to Yunxi, will you save it or not?"

Yunxi is no better than Jiangnan, that's where Feng Junyang's foundation lies, so far his relatives are still in Yunxi, Qi Xiang must not be allowed to get involved.Every word Chen Nian said seemed to be for Feng Junyang's consideration, but he really knew Chen Nian too well, he couldn't help squinting at her, and asked, "Are you thinking about me?"

"No." Chen Nian said calmly, "I joined the Rebel Army last year, and it has been nearly a year now. I have hidden behind to make suggestions, and I have personally fought people in battle. I know that every military order requires countless soldiers to obey their orders. To implement. They are also sons, husbands, and fathers, and there are many people who are looking forward to them returning home alive."

Feng Junyang was silent for a long time, only staring at Chen Nian.

Chen Nian said again: "Not only for the people of Jiangbei, but also for the Xian family. My mother and adoptive father are all members of the Xian family, and I also need to do something for the Xian family. Those soldiers of the Xian family, in the eyes of Xia people, It's a heinous crime, but most of them are just ordinary Xian clan people."

"Chen Nian..."

"Actually, I don't want to fight against the Xian clan at all. I feel guilty every time I kill a Xian clan." Chen Nian lowered his brows, and after a moment of silence, he subconsciously said, "It's ridiculous. Is that right? I came all the way from Jizhou, and I don’t know how many people from the Xian family have blood on my hands, but I said that I didn’t want to kill the people from the Xian family. If people hear this, they will definitely think that I am hypocritical.”

"No, no." Feng Junyang said in a deep voice, "Chen Nian, you are right. The world is in chaos, and the people are in dire straits. It is not wrong to fight with war and stop killing with killing. This is righteousness."

Chen Nian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked up at Feng Junyang: "Huiming once said that all living beings are equal, so if possible, I want them to return to Mobei alive."

Feng Junyang pursed his lips and remained silent. After a while, he snorted coldly and said, "The one thing I regret the most in my life is sending old monk Huiming to you that year!"

Chen Nian was taken aback for a moment, but couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Do you agree?"

Feng Junyang looked at her with raised eyelids, and asked her back: "If I disagree, will you listen to me?"

Chen Nian thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "I have to go, I didn't do it on a whim, ever since I knew that Tuobayao was also in Taixing, I wanted to do this. Before, I just wanted to try to restrain Tuobayao, Coercing him to retreat, now that there is a reason for the internal turmoil in the royal court, it will be better. If there is a truce at this time, it will be beneficial to both sides, and it will be beneficial to you and him."

Feng Junyang lowered his eyes and refused to pay attention to her. After a while, he said unhurriedly: "Have you ever thought about why Tuobayao would believe you? Even if I promised him that he would let go of the way, but later Wouldn't he be more passive if he didn't believe what he said, and set up an ambush to block him when he returned to the north?"

Chen Nian frowned unknowingly, and asked him instead: "Can you keep your word?"

Feng Junyang raised his eyebrows at her: "Have I not done enough things to break my promise?"

Chen Nian thought about it for a moment, and said honestly: "You really often don't keep your promises. It's because I think things are too simple."

Her answer almost made Feng Junyang lose his breath. He looked at Chen Nian bitterly, his thoughts changed, but he didn't know what to think of. : "I have a request, as long as you agree to me, I will happily let Tuoba Yaobei return, and I will keep my word."

Chen Nian was noncommittal, and only raised his eyes to look at Feng Junyang, as if trying to figure out his thoughts.

With a naughty smile on Feng Junyang's lips, he asked her again: "How is it? Huh?"

His "um" sound was extremely low, but the ending sound rose slightly, provocative, clearly harboring malicious intentions.Chen Nian was quite speechless, and said: "Tuobayao is not a fool, even if he returns from the north, he will take more precautions against you and set up an ambush to attack you, which may not succeed."

Feng Junyang played a rogue and said: "I don't reason with you, I only negotiate conditions with you. If you agree to me, I will let Tuoba Yaobei return."

Chen Nian had no choice but to respond: "What request? Tell me."

Feng Junyang curled his lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's just a small request, and I will never make things difficult for you." He took a step forward as he spoke, getting closer to De Chennian, Lowering his head, he called her softly, "Chen Nian..."

The two were too close, each other's breath could be heard, Chen Nian suddenly felt flustered and short of breath, he forced himself to raise his head to look at him calmly, and heard him say: "You can still call me A Ce from now on, okay?"

Chen Nian didn't think his request would be this, he was startled for a moment, and asked: "Is this the one?"

"Well," Feng Junyang nodded, and said solemnly: "Call me A Ce, and when you see me later, don't call me anything else, just call me A Ce."

Chen Nian opened his eyes for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and responded quickly: "Okay."

Her reaction surprised Feng Junyang, he was slightly startled, he lowered his head and looked at Chen Nian carefully for a long while, but finally he grinned and said, "Then call to listen first."

Chen Nian shook his head, and refused: "No, after Tuoba Yao returns to the north."

This was obviously a delay, Feng Junyang smiled lightly, and didn't care about it with her, he changed the subject and asked: "Before you came to Taixing, did you go back to the mountains to see Xiaobao?"

"I've been there." Chen Nian replied succinctly.

Feng Junyang asked again: "Does she look like you or me?"

Chen Nian was silent for a moment, before he replied with some reluctance: "Like you."

Feng Junyang's eyes and brows were filled with pride, and he wanted to say a few more words, but he was afraid of pressing Chen Nian too tightly, so he had to give up, thought for a while, and said: "How long will it take for the rebellion of the royal court?" It will take two days to reach Taixing, if you go now, Tuobayao will not believe your words, wait two days before going, you tell him that I will open the road on the west side, and he can go back to the pass from the Xihu grassland."

Chen Nian nodded silently.

Feng Junyang glanced at her, and said again: "He may be suspicious and take you as a hostage."

Chen Nian also thought of this earlier, and asked him when he heard the words: "Are you going to keep your word to me this time?"

Feng Junyang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and replied, "No."

"Then I'll leave him as a hostage and send him outside the pass." Chen Nian said.

Feng Junyang looked at her quietly, and after a while, he suddenly asked in a low voice: "Why do you still believe me now? Maybe I deliberately used you to deceive Tuobayao, but Chen Chongbing was secretly on his way back to the north .” He paused and laughed at himself, “It’s not the first time I’ve broken my promise to you.”

The first time he was in Qingzhou, he promised to marry her, but in fact he wholeheartedly wanted to take her by his side as a concubine.The second time, in Yiping, he said he would never lie to her again, but he kept lying to her.For the third time, in Shengdu, he agreed to rescue Ye Xiaoqi for her, but in the end Ye Xiaoqi died unexpectedly.

In fact, what Chen Nian said was right, for her, he had never believed what he said.

Unexpectedly, Chen Nian smiled, looked straight at him with bright eyes, and said with certainty: "You won't, this time, you won't." After speaking, he grinned at Feng Junyang again, and then turned around Go back to Qiumuling.
