slave like jade

Chapter 179
Seeing another sword slashing towards Mu Lingzhi, Yu Ruyan was so frightened that she lost her wits. Without even thinking about it, she wanted to let go of Mu Lingzhi's hand to block the sword for him, but in the next second, a figure approached with lightning, Blocked that fatal sword for Mu Lingzhi before her!
Also dressed in white, the knife descended from the sky with the Dragon Chanting Sword in his hand. Although he blocked the sword that was stabbing at Mu Lingzhi with the sword, the sword still pierced into his own shoulder in the end.

The obsidian-like eyes were also red, the knife ignored the wound on the shoulder, turned around and cut off the spear stuck in Mu Lingzhi's waist with a sword, and said sharply: "Brother Huang, take sister away quickly, I will help you After the break!"

Both Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan looked at Xiao Dao with a hostile face in shock, he also escaped from the palace!

The small knife is no better than Mu Lingzhi. He strikes extremely ruthlessly, and the Dragon Chanting Sword in his hand is one of the most powerful weapons in the world. Flying, screaming continuously...

He was fighting desperately, ignoring his own defense, just desperately killing the surrounding Habayashi army, with a fierce and murderous aura, which shocked everyone around him!
In Xiaodao's heart at this moment, he didn't think about anything. At this moment, he only had one thought in his heart, and that was to fight a bloody path for Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan behind him!
Because, only in this way can the remorse and guilt in his heart be offset.

During the days when he was under house arrest by his father in the East Palace, Xiaodao thought a lot about the death of his mother, the tragic ending Yu Ruyan faced, and the pain of his brother, all of which were caused by him alone. Stretching, the image of Yu Ruyan's grief when she shouted at him in despair appeared in her mind from time to time, she said to him, I hate you, I hate you...

Every time at this time, he wished he could kill himself!
So, now, his only wish is to rescue the emperor's brother and sister, even if he died under the sword today, he will have no regrets...

Although his reckless fighting style has great lethality, he is also scarred and wounded. He has been hit by countless swords and swords, and a deep gash has been cut in his left arm. The flesh is opened, and the bones are visible.And the white mourning clothes were also dyed a shocking blood color...

"You don't want to die!"

Mu Lingzhi felt a pain in his heart when he saw his desperate style of play——

No matter how much hatred there was between the two brothers before, the innate brotherly love born in a mother's womb can never be parted...

Xiaodao blamed himself bitterly, he regretted too much in his heart, he hated his obsession and self-interest, he hated the harm he caused to the most important and caring person in his heart, but there is no medicine for regret in the world, he can only apologize with death...

Seeing Xiaodao's expression, Mu Lingzhi had already anticipated his intentions, and felt a pain in his heart, knowing that he could not persuade him at this time, so he had to protect him desperately, and the two brothers joined forces to fight out.

Yu Ruyan looked at the knife that had turned into a bloody man, and felt resentment and pain in her heart——

Since Xiaodao forcibly imprisoned her in the East Palace, she was full of resentment towards him, and later learned that he had put 'Mu Lingzhi' in the sky prison, and she hated him completely...

During these days in the prison, she often thought, if she hadn't saved him and brought him with her in a moment of softness three years ago, if she hadn't been accompanied by each other in the past three years, maybe Xiaodao wouldn't have any undue thoughts towards herself ...

She wanted to hate Xiaodao, but whenever she wanted to hate him, her mind was filled with Xiaodao's innocent eyes like obsidian, and his cute appearance lying on her lap and acting like a baby;
And his caring company for her in the past three years;

He was the one who braved the dangers and hardships alone, and when he and his relatives were in danger, he ran out thousands of miles to find himself;
And when he was in the Daqi Palace, he was the one who protected himself again and again regardless of his life;

As long as someone hurts her, he will be like a little wolf lamb protecting a calf. Even though his minions are not strong enough, he will rush out to protect her regardless.

As if he is desperate at this moment...

Xiaodao's love is not like Mu Lingzhi's affectionate care, nor like Yue Yu's forbearance and fulfillment. His love is like a blazing flame. One carelessness burns the loved one at the same time, it also burns Own……

Before Yu Ruyan, he had never loved anyone, he didn't know how to love, he just wanted to take the person he loved as his own, and not let her leave him, but he didn't know how to care about the person he loved feeling...

The softest part of Yu Ruyan's heart couldn't help trembling slightly. She watched the two men she cared about the most fighting for her. Her heart ached to the point of numbness. Begging: "His Royal Highness, please let me go, you take the knife and leave, if you don't leave, he will die, and you will die too!!"

"I can't keep you!" Mu Lingzhi said firmly, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his expression was firm, and his eyes were fixed on the knife in front of him, ready to block the sword for him at any time.

Xiaodao's sudden appearance made him both moved and sad. He knew that the moment Xiaodao rushed to him and blocked the sword for him without hesitation, the frozen barrier between their brothers had disappeared, no matter what they had experienced before, He is always his most beloved brother...

So, the more so, today's road of no return, he doesn't want to take a knife again...

With a long spear thrown at Xiaodao, Mu Lingzhi shouted at Xiaodao: "Go away, I don't care for your help. From the moment you want to marry Yanyan, I no longer consider you my brother. I am with you." There is no more friendship between them, and there will be no friendship!"

Xiaodao froze all over his body, and a tear rolled down his eye. He turned his head and looked at Mu Lingzhi with red eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "I owe my brother, mother, queen, and sister, and I must pay it back!"

After all, he waved the long sword in his hand frantically, his eyes turned red!

But Yu Ruyan didn't want to leave when she saw Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao, and both of them were already covered with scars. Under the rush, she couldn't help but vomited blood and passed out...

On the high execution platform, Mu Ziyue looked coldly at the crowd below who were strangling into a group. Her cold eyes followed the figure in the crowd, watching him covered with scars, but still tightly protecting his chest. The woman in front felt a pain in her heart, and endless hatred rose in her heart.

Why?why!Why can he do this for that bitch!

For her, he lost his country and military power, and now for her, he doesn't even want his own life. What did that woman do for him to make him willingly give everything for her!
The jealousy in her heart overwhelmed her, her eyes turned cold, her teeth clucked, and in the next second, she grabbed the bow and arrow from the Habayashi army next to her, drew the bow and set the arrow, and killed Sen Leng's arrow. Aim at Yu Ruyan!

Mu Ziyue studied martial arts with Mu Lingzhi and the others since she was a child, so despite her weak appearance, her equestrian and archery skills are top-notch.

There was hatred in Yingying Xingxing's eyes, she was about to let go, but was held back by Mu Ziyang who was beside her, he said coldly, "What are you going to do?"

Mu Ziyue said bitterly: "She won't die, Ling Zhi won't leave."

No matter how good Mu Lingzhi's martial arts skills are, he can't match the endless wheel battles. Just like what Mu Yunzhi said, even if he is trapped, he will be trapped to death here...

"You still can't let him go, do you still want to save his life?" Mu Xiangyang stared at her with hatred, snatched the arrow from her hand, and said through gritted teeth: "Have you forgotten what father said to us?" Is it? Only with the death of Mu Ling, can the things done by the father and the eldest prince not be discovered. And today, all of this was planned hard by the father and the eldest prince, and finally waited for him to throw himself into a trap and come to his door to die, you If we let him retreat halfway, as long as he escapes this time, he will definitely repay that bitch's hatred on us, do you think he will let us go in the future!"

Hearing this, Mu Ziyue's whole body shook, her hands hesitated, and she struggled in pain...

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of iron armor clanging at the entrance of the street. I don’t know who gave the order. The Habayashi army immediately dispersed, and the sound of swords and swords disappeared. The two brothers in the middle of the field looked up and saw the vegetable market. A large number of elite soldiers in armor poured out of the mouth, and everyone couldn't help being stunned when they saw it.

After all, the movement of the three princes in Daliang's bloody battle at Caishikou was too great, and it alarmed all the civil and military officials in the entire Eastern Capital. In the end, a loyal veteran worried that the three princes would kill each other, which would eventually cause a real disaster in Daliang, so he entered the palace. After reporting to King Liang, King Liang was shocked and couldn't help but think of the massacre ten years ago. His heart sank, and he immediately went out of the palace with heavy troops to prevent the killing of the three brothers.

The crowd parted, and when King Liang sat on the soft chariot and saw the blood and scars on Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao in front of him, he suddenly realized that someone deliberately blocked the news of Mu Lingzhi's robbery and the prince's departure from the palace. Hey, looking at this posture and lineup, they actually want to kill the two brothers at once!

Although King Liang was disappointed with Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao because of Yu Ruyan, but with only these three sons under his knees, the Eldest Prince's heart and ability are far from those of Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao. In his heart, Mu Lingzhi is actually the most favorite candidate for the throne. Unfortunately, he is too affectionate, which is the biggest taboo of being an emperor, so he chose Xiaodao as his heir. Unexpectedly, Xiaodao is also an infatuated lover just like his brother.

But now, his lower body is paralyzed, and his body is getting worse day by day. At this time, he must not change the prince again, otherwise the foundation of Daliang will be completely collapsed.

Looking at everything in front of him, King Liang of course understood that all of this was the eldest prince's conspiracy, but he made the imperial decree, and those who rob the court will be killed without mercy, so even if he knew it in his heart, he could not deal with Mu Yunzhi face to face.

Compared to hating the Eldest Prince for taking the opportunity to poison his two younger brothers, King Liang also hated Mu Lingzhi and the Crown Prince for their unrepentant death. Now and here, he still only thinks about Yu Ruyan.

Thinking of this, Liang Wang's gloomy and fierce eyes swept across the two bloody sons kneeling in front of him, and finally landed on Yu Ruyan who passed out in Mu Lingzhi's arms.

His eyes sank, and King Liang hated him deeply. This woman is really a disaster. For her, the two sons who have always been the most obedient disobeyed him time and time again. No, but, both of them like her equally.

In just a moment, King Liang thought of what he did ten years ago.He didn't dare to imagine that if the two brothers repeated the same mistakes and followed his old path, would Daliang's century-old foundation be able to experience another mutiny and kill brothers?
As soon as this terrifying thought flashed across, King Liang's eyes became more murderous, no matter what, Yu Ruyan must die!

Thinking of this, Liang Wang said coldly: "You two brothers, were you so confused by this demon girl that you lost your mind, and even ignored the death of your mother? It stands to reason that I should let you personally kill your enemies before I can forgive you. Mother who died in vain, but you don't know how to appreciate it, and you resist the order to rob the court!"

King Liang's voice was always low, but the more so, the more Mu Lingzhi and Xiao Dao could feel the strong anger on his body. Their hearts trembled, and Mu Lingzhi involuntarily hugged the unconscious Yu Ru in his arms. Yan.

"Since you don't know how to cherish your father's painstaking efforts, then the crown prince will personally supervise the beheading, and Lingzhi you—"

Liang Wang's eyes were as cold as a knife's edge, and he looked coldly at Mu Lingzhi who was trembling all over, and said coldly, "You will hold the knife yourself, and chop off her head to pay homage to your mother!"

Hearing this, the audience was silent, but Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao were already shocked on the spot, unable to utter a word.

Although Mu Yunzhi on the side was annoyed that he didn't take this opportunity to kill the two brothers, but seeing them being cornered by their father and seeing them both in pain, he felt extremely happy!
Mu Ziyue was even more excited, she dreamed that Mu Lingzhi would kill Yu Ruyan with her own hands, and in this way, she really got what she wanted.

All the people present looked at the third prince and the prince who were kneeling in the middle of the venue.

Hearing King Liang's words, Xiaodao's blood-stained face turned even paler. He got up and stood in front of Mu Lingzhi, but he lost a lot of blood, and before he had time to plead with King Liang, his eyes darkened and he fell to the ground... …

Seeing this, a trace of pain flashed in King Liang's eyes. He waved someone to carry the knife down, and said coldly: "Send the prince back to the palace for treatment, and I - personally supervise the execution!"

Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi clenched his hands involuntarily, glanced blankly at Yu Ruyan, who was in his arms with his eyes closed and pale, and looked at Liang Wang with a face of absolute disbelief, and said in pain, "Father Your Majesty, there are still many doubts about the Empress Dowager, I don't believe that it was Yan Yan who killed the Empress Dowager, so please give me time..."

"Stop doing this!" King Liang yelled and interrupted his pleading. He glared at Mu Lingzhi fiercely, hating that the iron could not become steel: "Before, in the case of Qin Xianglou, the evidence was conclusive, and it is also true. You've been complaining about her, and I'll give you time to find out. But what's the result?"

Thinking of the many bad things that happened during this period, King Liang gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart. Now, he thought of the evil star and the troubled times again, and then thought of his sudden illness. The death of the queen was caused by two brothers. They turned against each other in order to fight for Yu Ruyan...

All of this made King Liang once again believe that Yu Ruyan was a malevolent star, so, no matter what, he would take Yu Ruyan's life today.

"She was born without tears, and she is an ominous person, but you have always protected her. If you were not indecisive, your mother would not have died in her hands. Now that the evidence is convincing, you still want to protect her. Speaking of which, do you really want to see her harming the entire Daliang before you feel at ease?"

King Liang's words struck Mu Lingzhi like thunderbolts. He moved his lips with difficulty and tried to defend Yu Ruyan, but he couldn't speak a single word...

"Today, if you are not willing to attack her, I can make her die a hundred times more miserable. Moreover, not only that, I will immediately send troops to Daqi, and let the whole Daqi be buried for the wrong things their princess did!"

Liang Wang's whole body was full of murderous aura, and his eyes were firm.

Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi's whole body shuddered and he froze on the spot...

The wind and snow became smaller and bigger, confusing people's eyes. Mu Lingzhi's whole body was covered with snow and frost, and he hugged Yu Ruyan step by step on the blood-stained snow and returned to the execution platform. He wrapped it tightly in his arms.

She woke up slowly, looked up at Mu Lingzhi in a daze, and no longer heard the terrifying sound of killing, she couldn't help but said happily: "Your Highness, have we escaped? Did Xiaodao also escape?"

Mu Lingzhi didn't dare to look into her joyful eyes, he gritted his teeth to suppress the fishy sweetness coming out of his throat, and hummed lightly.

Yu Ruyan didn't know what happened during her fainting, and she didn't know that Liang Wang used the whole Qi to force Mu Lingzhi to attack her.

She was tightly wrapped in his arms, and she couldn't see the outside scene, but she couldn't hear the sound of killing. She really thought they had escaped, so she couldn't help but feel relieved, and hurriedly checked the wound on his waist. Only then did he realize that he was actually wearing the silver-white coat that he had made for him, endless sweetness flooded in his heart, and a blush welled up on his pale face.

She shyly smiled and said: "Your Highness, this dress fits well... It's my first time making it, and it was done in a hurry, so I don't feel very satisfied... I will definitely do better next time!"

The pain in his heart made him suffocate, and Mu Lingzhi finally couldn't help it, and a mouthful of blood spewed out...

Seeing him vomit blood, Yu Ruyan was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, are you injured? Please let me go, I can walk by myself..."

As soon as the body tightened, his body was suddenly hugged even tighter, and she obviously felt his body trembling violently.

Yu Ruyan's heart suddenly tightened, she looked up at Mu Lingzhi with some doubts, and saw that he was also looking down at her deeply, his eyes were sad and sad, and his expression was full of grief, which made her heart inexplicably flustered up.

"Your Highness, you... what's wrong with you?"

Her steps froze, Mu Lingzhi put her down from his arms with trembling hands, and suddenly left his warm embrace, Yu Ruyan couldn't help shrinking her neck.

But in the next second, not only was her body cold, but her heart was also cold...

As far as she could see, she was back on the execution platform, with the icy beheading platform at her feet.

And below, at some point, the Habayashi army was once again surrounded, and Mu Ziyue and Yu Mingzhu were looking at her gloatingly.

Seeing all this, she looked at Mu Lingzhi blankly, not understanding what happened just now.

Before she could ask what happened to Mu Lingzhi, he looked at her with a cold face, and there was a piercing chill in his voice——

"No matter what wrong things you do, I can forgive you, but you should never agree to marry my younger brother and become the princess, let alone kill my mother when she opposed you... As a son, if I can't kill enemies for my mother's queen, I have no face in this world..."

Mu Lingzhi's voice was trembling uncontrollably, his lips opened and closed as he said words against his will, his eyes were empty and hopeless.He didn't dare to look at Yu Ruyan's flustered look, let alone the despair in her eyes.

"...It doesn't matter if you hate me or blame me, I... No matter how much I like you, I can't accept your infidelity, filial piety, benevolence and injustice..."

At the end, Mu Lingzhi's teeth were bleeding from biting, and a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat...

"Your Highness, it's not like this. I never thought about being a princess, let alone being unfaithful to you. I didn't..." Mu Lingzhi's words pierced Yu Ruyan's heart like steel knives, and her mind was overwhelmed. Dizzy, high fever made her have a splitting headache, but her body was shivering from the cold.

But the physical torture was far from being able to overcome the pain in her heart at this moment. She rushed forward and hugged Mu Lingzhi's legs, looked up at Mu Lingzhi with red eyes, panicked and frightened to the extreme— —

She can die, but she can't let Mu Lingzhi misunderstand her and think that she has betrayed him...

She explained to him incoherently, but before she finished speaking, the next second, a long sword with a cold light and blood stains suddenly appeared in front of her eyes!

She was startled, and involuntarily let go of the hands holding his legs, and looked up at him in disbelief——

The blizzard suddenly stopped, and even the cold wind seemed to stop at this moment, the sky and the earth were all silvery white, and the entire execution ground was also completely silent.

In the daytime, Mu Ling stood proudly in blood, his pale face was absolutely ruthless, and the long sword in his hand, which was just to save her from slaughtering the Yulin army, was aimed at her at this moment...

"You... hate me!"

Mu Lingzhi's voice fell into the dust, and the next moment, with a wave of the sword in his hand, a bloodstain streaked across the sky...

"what……"

Following Yu Ruyan's mournful scream, endless blood suddenly rolled down from her rippling eyes, one drop after another, converging into a river, flowing past her pale face like paper, and falling on the glistening white face. On the snowy ground, shocking blood splashed one after another...

She stretched out her hand to cover her eyes in pain, the pain made her whole body tremble, feeling that every inch of pore in her body was numb.More and more blood spilled from her fingers, and her hands were sticky with blood. She wanted to wipe away the blood and tears in grief, and wanted to open her eyes and ask Mu Lingzhi, why?why!
But the rolling blood couldn't be wiped away, the bright red color blindfolded her eyes, her world was plunged into darkness, she could no longer see, she couldn't see him, and she couldn't see everything in the world... …

"Kang Dang!" The sword in Mu Lingzhi's hand slipped weakly and fell on the execution platform, but Yu Ruyan finally couldn't stand it anymore, she fainted from the pain again, and her body fell limply to the ground, her red and bloody eyes closed in despair and pain. But the bright red tears of blood flowed out endlessly, lining her pale face like paper, it was extremely horrifying and pitiful...

Everyone's heart skipped a beat with Mu Lingzhi's sword, but the next moment, everyone looked at Mu Lingzhi who was stunned on the execution platform with a little surprise. Everyone thought he killed Yu Ruyan, Unexpectedly, he stabbed her eyes blind.

Liang Wang frowned, and Mu Ziyue also frowned slightly disappointed looking at Yu Ruyan who fell on the execution platform, hating in her heart, he couldn't bear to kill her after all!
Just when everyone was amazed, Mu Lingzhi bent down again to pick up the dying Yu Ruyan, and walked down the stage step by step, his eyes glazed over and his expression was sad.

Liang Wang looked at him dissatisfied, and said coldly: "What are you doing?"

Mu Lingzhi hugged the unconscious Yu Ruyan and knelt in front of King Liang, his voice fell into the dust, and he couldn't get up again——

"Father, Yanyan is not an evil person. Everything that happened to her was because of her eyes that could not shed tears. Therefore, if I pierce her eyes, she will no longer be an ominous person who harms the world. people..."

"... There is still a private matter between the son and her, so the son begged the emperor for the last time, let the son take her back for the time being, three days later, the son is here, and the head will be given to the mother Sorry!"

Liang Wang frowned quietly and looked at Mu Lingzhi who was kneeling in the snow, and saw that he was described as haggard like a ghost in an instant, and there was no trace of life in his eyes, no different from that walking corpse .

After a long time, King Liang sighed heavily, and said coldly: "Three days later, I will wait for you to bring her head to pay homage to your mother. After your mother's funeral, you will go to the imperial mausoleum to guard your mother's mausoleum for three years as a token of apology." .”
