Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 193

Raising his eyes, he looked at Xiao Jue carefully, as if he had never known him so freshly and brightly, Qin Changge said softly: "I really like your unnecessary actions..."

Xiao Jue's eyes lit up, and the joy in his eyes became more intense. He suddenly thought of something, and hesitated to speak. Qin Changge looked at his expression, a little startled, and immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jue thought about it for a while, and then said a little embarrassingly: "Actually, I can't help it... I touched my lips..."

Qin Changge's smile faded, and he asked anxiously, "Did you drink it?"

"I don't remember clearly," Xiao Jue said blushingly, "I ran too fast, maybe I swallowed a little, um...I didn't lie to trick you into liking you, ah, Changge, why are you so angry——"

Qin Changge rushed over and strangled Xiao Jue by the throat.

"Spit it out, spit it out!"

"Uh..." When Xiao Jue saw Qin Changge's anxious appearance, he was a little funny at first, but immediately felt that something was wrong. Changge is not a person who would slobber for a sip of water. After a little thought, his expression changed drastically, and he pushed Qin Changge away. hand, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with the water?"

"What do you think?" Qin Changge stretched out his hand to take his pulse, "Is there anything unusual? Try using your true energy?"

"No, I know my own body very well." Xiao Jue answered affirmatively, and in a blink of an eye saw Wanyan Yuren underground, "What's going on?"

Qin Changge immediately opened Wanyan Yuren's acupoints. Wanyan Yuren had already seen this scene in her eyes. She looked at Xiao Jue in a daze, and then at the bowl of splashed water on the ground. Indescribable emotions surged in her eyes. Envy, jealousy, desolation, nostalgia, intertwined with indelible memories in my own memory, faint melancholy like smoke.

Meeting Qin Changge's eyes, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

"What's going on?" Qin Changge knelt down and stared into her eyes.

With a light smile, the corner of Wanyan Yuren's mouth curled into a sarcasm. She didn't know whether it was mocking her vicious "sister" who disregarded human life or herself, she said flatly: "No poison, no."

As soon as his shoulders collapsed, Qin Changge felt that he was about to collapse. When he mentioned the present in one breath, he realized that he had already broken out in a cold sweat. When the wind blew, his entire back was chilly.

Behind her, Xiao Jue supported her, and said in surprise, "They have plans to poison the well? They must first be buried with the lives of millions of people in Ducheng!"

"There is a kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. What's the point of dying a million people? The career of an emperor is built with bones." Wanyan Yuren laughed mockingly, "Unfortunately, she is her and I am me."

She looked in the direction of Sujing, and smiled lightly, "She forgot, I have stayed in Ducheng for many years, this side of land, this side of people, no matter how indifferent I am, I will gradually develop feelings. Those who care, those who don't want her to die, I also have those teenagers I like to see, if they all become corpses lying on the streets of the bustling Ducheng in the past, if those who talked to me and smiled at me, or All the children I touched with my own hands died under my hands, and a city died completely because of me. I don’t think I can rest in peace in this life.”

"She thought I was her?" Wanyan Yuren laughed bitterly, "I will never be her, I am still a human being, but she is no longer, so she is a pure concubine, the outstanding person that the family places high hopes on, but I am destined to be a concubine." Abandoned, the one buried in darkness."

Her laughter gradually sank, and she said in a low voice: "I am a child who was treated coldly by the family and ran away angrily. I am the mother of the ninth lady who raised me. The daughter returned to Yucheng to live at her natal home. When she was three years old, Mrs. Jiu disappeared. Her adoptive mother had been nagging her for many years. When she finally found her, she had become her father’s concubine. When her adoptive mother found out, she vomited blood and died. Before she passed away, she asked me to She took care of her and asked me to promise not to kill Li Denglong. Later, Concubine Chun found me again, and I realized that the family has always known where I am and has been watching my whereabouts. I will never really get rid of the control of the family... In fact, the family Now there are only a few people left, but I have been afraid of them since I was a child... I am afraid of the Wanyan family members, the dark and mysterious smell that never goes away..."

She shrank in the brilliance of the morning sun, shrunk herself into a small shadow, the sun pressed on her thin shoulders, and she seemed to fall heavily unbearably.

Qin Changge and Xiao Jue looked at each other, Xiao Jue said slowly, "You, let's go."

Huo Ran looked up, his eyes were incredulous, Wanyanyu said humanely: "You... let me go? You don't want to know the secrets of Wanyan's family?"

"I asked, will you say? You said, you can still live?" Xiao Jue smiled brightly, "Speaking of which, you are kind to my Xiliang army, although that kindness is not your original intention, but no matter what , we entrust you with a thin line of benevolence to save your life, and based on this, we shouldn't make things difficult for you."

"Let's go, leave Du City with Mrs. Ninth, and I will inform the army to let you out." Xiao Jue looked at her, "Sooner or later, the Wanyan family will be destroyed under the iron hooves of Xiliang, and you will be free."

Wanyan Yuren was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Changge, Qin Changge smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood now, and I don't want to care about anything."

Her smile was soaked in the morning light, the face of a young man, the eyes of a young girl, there was a clear and delicate rose-like beauty in the pupils of the eyes, Wan Yanyu looked at it with a bit of sadness and envy, thinking that she was as lonely as a deep well, and there would never be anyone. A lifetime of true love.

After a long time, she sighed, saluted slightly, and left resolutely.

On the long street, there are only two people facing each other. The wind blows each other's clothes, and an inch of sunshine shines on each other's toes, slowly blooming in a graceful posture. Many years ago, just like the previous life, the boy on the long street turned his head in grief and indignation, and met a beautiful girl under the sun.

A period of journey across the country begins here.

Now we go around and around, the journey starts again, and the past comes back again, everything is different, but everything is a new feeling, on the long street under the morning light in a foreign city in October, the two people who are looking at each other are in the ups and downs of the iron-blooded war. After the ups and downs, the mood is as soft as silk.

After a while, Xiao Jue smiled and said, "Long Song."

"Ah."

"Don't fight."

"Oh."

Couldn't help laughing, Xiao Jue said, "Did you hear what I said?"

Qin Changge turned his face, gave him a half-smile and half-smile look, and said, "You think I'm a pig? To be honest, I wanted to tell you, let's go here first. Now the supply line is too long, and it's too late. It is easy to cause problems, and then it will be winter again. The severe cold in the north is not good for my soldiers. It is not impossible to return to Yucheng to rest, but tomorrow the weather will warm up and the road will be muddy. , completely cleaned up the group of men and women in the Wei family."

"Hmm..." Xiao Jue said regretfully, "I thought you were crazy, and was thinking of taking advantage of your opportunity... ahaha." Seeing that Qin Changge's eyes had begun to look sinister, he immediately changed his words and said with a smile: "If Ducheng cannot be defeated, we will not be able to retreat no matter what. If the halberd is defeated in Ducheng, the army's prestige will be damaged, and our army's morale will be greatly depressed. Only when Ducheng is defeated can we count as a successful trip. Ducheng The location overlooking the hinterland of the Northern Wei Dynasty, now belongs to me, haha, the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty is within the palm of my hand."

"It seems that the three main figures in the Northern Wei Dynasty have different attitudes towards Ducheng. If they are not in harmony, they will lose." Qin Changge smiled, "Besides, no matter how good the concubine Chun is good at calculating, she always misses one thing, that is, people's hearts .”

She turned around slowly and looked in the direction of the city gate, where the gunpowder smoke was filled, and the cold light of weapons reflected by the sun could be vaguely seen dancing. The army of Xiliang was marching into the city. Here, Qin Changge said leisurely:

"Climate timing, favorable location, marching troops, and formation are all decisive factors in a war, and there are certain rules to follow. Only the human heart is like water, which cannot be dominated by a huge force. in the palm of your hand."

Xiao Jue silently nodded, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked her hair. His smile was bright and his eyes were deep. He said a word deep in his heart, silently but resolutely, and told the people around him over and over again:
"In this life, I only wish to hold your flowing heart with the hand that holds the world with my feet."

On October [-]th of the fourth year of Qianyuan, in the battle of Ducheng, the chief general Li Denglong died, and the deputy general Zhang Huai and the former deputy commander of the Northern Wei Palace Shan Zhuo were captured. On that day, the Northern Wei concubine Wanyan Chunzhen sneaked into Ducheng and murdered the army of Xiliang After the failure, he united with the generals of Ducheng to step into the camp and attacked the Xiliang army in a sneak attack. The Xiliang army, which had been prepared for a long time, invited the king to enter the urn, surrounded by two wings, and wiped out [-] remaining troops in Ducheng. Wanyan Chunzhen was seriously injured and escaped with the remaining troops. Liang Dasheng.

On October [-]th of the fourth year of Qianyuan, Yu Zixi, the commander-in-chief of Zhengbei, built a long wall on Baizhang Mountain in the west of Ducheng, and built cities in Xiangshan and Longtoushan Mountains in the south to connect the forts, completely cutting off the connection between Ducheng and the hinterland of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Contact, Ducheng, Yucheng, Weicheng, Liancheng, Changcheng, and Dingyang, the six major Northern Wei towns, have all fallen into the hands of Xiliang. Immediately, Xiliang began to move to the border people, the two ethnic groups lived together, garrison guarded, reset The governing body formulated and promulgated a series of tax-free and tax-reducing policies to benefit the people and benefit the people, quickly calming down the panic-stricken people of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Since then, one-third of the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty has belonged to Xiliang. The maple-leaf-shaped mountains and rivers have since become the latest embellishment on the Kowloon crown of Xiliang Emperor.

Xiliang, which was originally the largest country, has now expanded its territory to the north to one-third of the Neichuan Continent. It is like a huge shadow, with tigers crouching and dragons coiling above all other countries. Concussion, panic.

Since then, spies from various countries have been sent to Xiliang more and more actively, and the various countries have also begun to test for cross-linkages, seeking the possibility of cooperating vertically and horizontally to jointly defend against powerful enemies.

Xiao Jue was still on his way back to Luan, when an imperial decree was promulgated to the world, the battle of Ducheng was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Yu Zixi's county character was removed, and he became the first prince with a foreign surname in Xiliang. Master, the youngest head of the ministers in the history of the kingdoms, was born miraculously again.
