This mountain is mine

Chapter 253 Give Her the Choice
Yu Miaomiao was really moved by Yang Xun and Yang Yuan.

Everything in this mausoleum is done step by step, following the old habits of previous years, there is nothing that she needs to take care of herself, Zhao Man left, and left some people for Yu Miaomiao, let Zhou Xiuwu take charge, all she has to do is wait for the birth .

Knowing that Yang Xun was here, Zhou Xiuwu advised Yu Miaomiao to leave, "When the prince comes back, go directly to Bozhou to find his wife."

Yu Miaomiao didn't doubt that he was there, so she just cleaned up a little, took a knife, and left with Yang Xun and Mr. Lan.

First, she walked overland for a day, took a carriage to the riverside, and then went down the river to Yuzhou. She has traveled this road several times in recent years, and she is no stranger to it.

There was Mr. Lan and Xiaodao in the carriage, and it was not boring. It was cold outside, so she nestled in the carriage with peace of mind, dozed off, and chatted for most of the day.

In the afternoon, I spent watching Xiaodao holding the small wooden knife that Zhao Man made for him, stabbing it out from time to time, and then retracting it again.

Fortunately, the carriage was big, and the old man also taught the knife not to hit Yu Miaomiao randomly, and the knife only stabbed at the curtain of the car. When playing with the wooden knife, he didn't dare to approach Yu Miaomiao, and played vigorously alone.

He likes this wooden knife very much now, but Zhao Man doesn't know it. Yu Miaomiao taught him to call "Daddy", and he doesn't think Daddy is useful, and the child is young and doesn't remember anything. His father is gone.

Yu Miaomiao sighed a little, how happy Zhao Man would be if he saw the rhythm of this kid really wanting to inherit his mantle.

When it was getting dark, I arrived at an inn by the pier, and left by boat at dawn the next day.

When getting off the carriage, a person came out of the inn in a hurry. Yu Miaomiao glanced casually and happened to meet this person. She only felt familiar, but couldn't remember who it was. This person was frightened when he saw her. With a big jump, his complexion suddenly changed, and the panic in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

Yu Miaomiao wanted to look again, but this man hurriedly glanced at their chariots and horses, and left in a hurry.

After Yu Miaomiao entered the inn, had dinner, and put Xiaodao to sleep, he suddenly remembered that the man was the steward of Liu Tingzhou's family.Fang Ling said it was not big, she always met a few times, when Zhao Man's identity was first exposed, Liu Tingzhou even let him come to Liushutun.

How could Liu Tingzhou's housekeeper be so frightened when he saw her?Isn't this the first time this person saw her?This matter made her feel a little uneasy.

Yu Miaomiao had been sleeping in the carriage for a long time, so she couldn't fall asleep now, so she simply called the hidden guard Zhao Man arranged beside her to come out and question her.

The hidden guard had been squeaky and refused to speak before, and Yu Miaomiao felt that it was abnormal. The dark guard was threatened by Yu Miaomiao with his identity and Gu insects, and he refused to speak.

Yu Miaomiao is not easy to be fooled, she had to go back to Fangling overnight to find someone else to check, but in desperation the secret guard could only explain: "Liu Tingzhou and Zeng Xian (the new guards outside Fangling City, the Song Dynasty has no permanent generals, The domestic garrison will change guards in two or three years, and the guards will collude. The former Qiao Kui has been transferred) and has been recalled to the capital by the emperor."

Local officials will not leave their posts unless they have important matters, either to report or transfer, and it is even more unusual to transfer the top civil and military leaders at the same time.

Then think of the steward's horror at seeing him...

Yu Miaomiao looked serious, "Is there anything else you're hiding from me? Let's talk about it."

The two hidden guards looked at each other, and one of them said vaguely: "This subordinate is only responsible for protecting the safety of my wife, and I don't know anything else..."

Yu Miaomiao snorted coldly, "I said you must tell me if you have important matters. In the past few months, you have made excuses that the sky is high and the road is far away, and you can't find any news. You haven't reported anything, and I haven't pursued it, but you haven't reported a word either. , Now that the prince is not here, he bullied our orphans and widowed mothers, didn’t he deceive us? Are you still unwilling to explain it?”

Yu Miaomiao was really angry, and the two hidden guards hurriedly apologized, and only then did they say everything.

Seeing Yu Miaomiao sitting on a chair with a serious expression on his face, the two hidden guards persuaded him again: "Master, before leaving, ask Madam to wait for him in Bozhou."

"Humph."

Yu Miaomiao waved his hand, and they could only retreat silently.

Only then did she sort out the news and restlessness she had just received.

In September of this year, Song negotiated peace with Jurchen, and then learned about Zhao Man. Zhao Man fought several games with Tang Kuo. Song people came to contain Zhao Man, but Tang Kuo succeeded.

Now Zhao Man is an enemy on three sides in the Liao territory, and the cooperation with the Liao people is not reliable.

The Jurchens themselves have freed up their hands, and they have conquered the Xijin Mansion of Daliao Liao with such momentum.

Thinking of this impeding Da Song, Yu Miaomiao felt aggrieved for a while, wishing that the country would perish immediately, and worried that Zhao Man was alone and in a difficult situation.

However, now that there is no new news, she can only be anxious.

What's even more sad is that last month, the court received news from the envoys that Zhao Man's support for the alliance with the Liao Dynasty made the emperor suspicious of Liu Tingzhou and Zeng Xian. If they hadn't concealed it, how could Zhao Man have left Fangling? I didn't know where the soldiers and horses came from for several months.

Only then did they recall the two of them back to the capital. If it should not be said that there is a ghost in their hearts, of course the two of them went back obediently, and they should not be pleased now, so Liu Tingzhou sent his cronies back to take care of things.

Just now, the two hidden guards confessed that they had secretly removed the manager, and suspected that this person came back because he wanted to bring Yu Miaomiao back to the capital to make Liu Tingzhou show his loyalty.

The imperial court had already sent someone to arrest her, Yang Xun came to take her away in a hurry when he got the news.

Now the army is about to surround Fangling, although most of them have been dispatched to Liao Kingdom, they still send out troops to gather Fangling, for fear that Zhao Man will have a backup and Yu Miaomiao will resist and make trouble.Even if she doesn't cause trouble, she can be captured and used as a hostage to threaten Zhao Man.

As for Yu Miaomiao, she definitely won't go to Bianjing, it's safe to avoid her, but what about the rest of the people?
In the past few years, so many workers and farmers under her will definitely be implicated by her.

Yu Miaomiao was in a turmoil, lying on the bed and looking at Xiao Dao's sleeping face, unable to calm down for a long time.

Before Zhao Man left, he swore to her that in times of crisis, he would write a secret letter about the power of the Jurchens and send it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty is suspicious, and he will definitely be jealous of Jurchen. He will not stop me from taking this opportunity to weaken Jurchen and the Liao people. At most, I will kill the donkey and wait until the matter is completed. I will not be distracted and return to defense if the event is not completed. , Fang Ling is also safe. When he pursues me, we can escape."

That's what Zhao Man said.

Yu Miaomiao also believed it.

But now the Song people have been dealing with him for more than two months, and he still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. He has no sign of returning to defense. His countrymen not only deal with him, but also come to Fangling to arrest her.

fuck it!

Thinking of what the dark guard said, "The master said before leaving that Fangling still has [-] troops left. Now most of the Song Dynasty's troops are placed in the Liao Kingdom. Fangling Zhou can hold them. When the situation is not good, Madame is going to live in Bozhou temporarily."

Zhao Man was a man who would drag her to death and ask her to watch him behead him. He wanted her to follow his footsteps obediently and not back down.When it really came to an end, he couldn't bear it anymore, arranged in advance to ask her to go, and left manpower to defend, obviously he had already prepared for the worst.

Yu Miaomiao really wronged Zhao Man. Zhao Man really thought that the emperor would take advantage of the chaos and ask him to eradicate the disaster of the alien race. It was not the time to deal with him, but there was still [-]% unbelief and caution in his heart, which made him hesitate again and again. Afterwards, manpower was left to guard Fangling.

It is impossible for people to wipe out all the achievements of him and Miaomiao in the past few years.

Yu Miaomiao hurriedly sat up from the bed, seeing Xiao Dao's face that resembled him, she gritted her teeth with hatred: "Zhao Man, you bastard! If you dare to lie to me, tell me to follow and I will follow, tell me to go now, I will go Don't even try to call me back..."

Yu Miaomiao cursed, but no one could see him, what else could be done with him.

……

After dawn, Yang Xun couldn't wait for Yu Miaomiao to go out, so he sent someone to call her. There was only a sleeping knife and a letter in the room.

Yu Miaomiao asked the dark guard to take her back to Fangling, secretly scolding Zhao Man for doing a stupid thing.

If she ran away, what would those who guarded Fangling City think for her?The morale of the army is shaken, is there really a chance of winning?
Even if she can't do anything, at least she can stabilize the hearts of the people and increase the odds of winning the house.

The dark guard murmured in his heart, "If they really want to stop her, Madam will not be able to go back no matter what. They haven't fully explained the master's order. If Yu Miaomiao wants to come back, don't stop her."

Zhao Man was very conflicted.

If he was ruthless to Miaomiao, he would never let her be a deserter, and he would drag her to stabilize the people's hearts in Fangling, and increase the fighting spirit and vitality of the soldiers below.

But just because of her affection, he didn't want her to face a crisis, so he gave Yu Miaomiao the right to choose.

Based on his understanding of Yu Miaomiao, he naturally knew that it was impossible for her to be completely kept in the dark.

Of course he also knew Miaomiao's final choice.

But he didn't expect Miaomiao to be pregnant suddenly, and he had a lot of thoughts. If he hadn't met Liu Tingzhou's cronies, he would have been kept in the dark, and it was a coincidence.

At this time, Zhao Man, who was in the ice and snow, closed his eyes after a surprise battle and meditated in his heart, "Miaomiao, don't blame me for being selfish, you must be well, if there is a next life, I will only live for you alone .”

How ridiculous, they actually fought against their own people in the territory of Liao Kingdom.His intention is wrong, but this intention is also placed after the safety of the country.But now if it wasn't for his mental toughness, he would have died of anger several times. Who would be more aggrieved than him?

He sat still like an old monk, motionless, allowing the cold wind to blow into his heart through the thick armor, and it was so cold that his limbs were all bone-piercingly cold.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise and vibration, and the snow on the trees slid down, and the sparrows that flew back to the south were startled and fled in all directions.

Immediately there were horns and killing intent.

Zhao Man opened his eyes violently, snowflakes fell from his eyelids, and a ray of light burst out from his eagle-like eyes, which was as good as the wind in the north with snow and hail, making people completely ignore the red blood inside, he stood up , with his lips pursed tightly, staring at the soldiers who looked like ants moving on the snow in the distance, the hand holding the spear was also tightened.

Seeing this, the lieutenant general who strode over suddenly lost his previous expression of displeasure, shuddered, and reported in a deep voice: "My lord, they are attacking!"
