Empress' Conquest

Tang Xue knew that she was ashamed to see He Lian heading south. Now that she knew that he was still alive, there was no need to guard this empty grave. Her fate had been sealed. Her path had long since been decided!

Just at the second after Tang Xue put on the human skin mask, a low and deep sound suddenly came from behind, causing Tang Xue's heart to be greatly shocked!

"Ten years, you have finally appeared! I just didn't expect that the person guarding the mausoleum would actually be you! Tang Xue. "Long time no see …" Looking at the figure in front of him, Mo Yan's heart was filled with mixed emotions. She used the name of driving back to the palace to send away all the guards and followers, in order to lure the person in the shadows to appear. She did not expect that the person in the shadows was the Tang Xue he had been searching for for for ten years, not to mention that Tang Xue was still alive!

"This old one greets Your Majesty …" As Tang Xue turned around, her aged face remained calm. Her eyes lowered and she bowed to pay her respects …

"Do you still want to pretend? Tang Xue! On that day, your plan of killing two birds with one stone indeed succeeded. You destroyed the most courageous general of my Big Jing County, sank into my heartless, and plunged into the abyss of ingratitude and injustice! Weren't you supposed to be sealed in the Qi Kingdom? "How can you give yourself up to this in these ten years?" Mo Yan recognized the face in front of him. Ever since Helian Nan had died in this place ten years ago, there was an additional tomb keeper here. Every year, he would come here to pay his respects to Helian Nan and almost every time, he would see the old man in front of him!

"You … "He's here to capture me?" Tang Xue knew that she could not hide it, so she simply restored her voice. A trace of vigilance flashed through her eyes!

"Capture you? When I saw you take off your mask, I really wanted to kill you! " Mo Yan's sword-like eyebrows creased, his clenched fists were creaking, and his joints were turning white!

"If that's the case …" Tang Xue will not resist. Your Majesty, please make your move … " Closing her eyes, Tang Xue's heart was at a loss. Death, might be a form of release, but she did not want to defend herself, she only wanted death!

"Do you really want to die? Don't you want to see the southern side? " Mo Yan's heart trembled. For a second, he really wanted to put Tang Xue to death, but he couldn't. He knew how important this woman's position was in Helian Xiangnan's heart.

Tang Xue didn't reply, she only lightly shook her head. Meet up? How could she not want to, just what face did she have to go see him?! Knowing the truth was as painful as not knowing the truth. Since he had already experienced it once, how could she bear to make his heart ache again …

Tang Xue had already closed her eyes tightly. Before she died, she knew that South was still alive. The heavens had already treated her well. She would never have another chance in her life. At this moment, Tang Xue heard her heart breaking as she headed south … If there is an afterlife, even if it turns to dust, it must still surround you … But in this life, I can only say that I'm sorry …

"Tang Xue …" Even if you do not cherish your life, do you want Helian Xiangnan to die again?! He was the mastermind of internal strife within Great Shu, Li Aoyu's general, and he was currently fighting against Xia Hou Mingxuan. If he lost, would the King of Great Shu let him off?! Do you want him to die with hatred?! "This is his written challenge to Xia Hou Mingxuan. Take a look for yourself!" Mo Yan's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together. A trace of sympathy and helplessness flashed across his eyes!

Tang Xue slowly opened her eyes and looked at the declaration of war beneath her feet. Her heart couldn't help but tremble. "Xia Hou Ming, you escaped with luck, but I, Helian Nan, promise you that you will die in Dingzhou!" Although I have no deep grudge or grievances with you, please tell Mo Yan that I will take revenge for humiliating my wife. With me, Helian, heading south, you won't be able to capture Dingzhou... Helian Zong headed south! " His trembling hands couldn't help but tighten their grip on the written challenge. It had been ten years, but ten years couldn't make him forget what happened back then! South... I owe you too much... I've ruined your life!

"Who would've thought that ten years of time wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in his heart …" Her tears were like a dam breaking as they flooded down, soaking the written challenge in Tang Xue's hands. She did not have the courage to once again ask her to appear in front of Helian Xiang Nan.

"Tang Xue, Leng Ao Tian will definitely win this battle. Once Helian Haotian loses to the south, even if I ask Leng Ao Tian to spare him, with his personality, he will find an opportunity to commit suicide!" Could it be that ten years later, you're still making the same decision as ten years ago?! You still want to abandon this man who loves you with all his heart?! " Mo Yan was moved. He hoped that Tang Xue could go to the two armies and persuade Helian Xiang to go south!

"I can't see him... But I can tell you the whole story... Even though you've been investigating for ten years, it's only a suspicion! You're right to doubt! I am the spy of the Da Qi Kingdom! "I snuck into the Jing as early as fifteen years ago. I only have one mission, and that is to get rid of Helian Xiang [1] …" Tang Xue's tears flowed down her face, and her heart felt as if it was being torn apart. The pain was unbearable …

Mo Yan did not interrupt Tang Xue's words. He could only sigh that Helian Xiang was not here!

"After arriving at the Redbud, I successfully won the Pansy that was heading south for me, becoming husband and wife … There were times when I even forgot my status and wholeheartedly wanted to be wife to the south, but the heavens did not obey my wishes. Right at this moment, the war between the Da Qi and Da Jing started, and the organization tasked me with instigating the former Marshal to the south. Even though I was unwilling to do so, I could not refuse because my family was all at the Da Qi Kingdom, and if I betrayed the organization, all of my family would die! "So …" Although it had been ten years, thinking about it now, that heart-wrenching pain still lingered in Tang Xue's heart.

"So you found a chance to enter the palace to meet me, and at the same time, sent someone to deliver a letter to the front lines. Calculate the time, and drug me on the same day we left for the south palace, and then create such a terrible scene for him to misunderstand?!" Mo Yan's eyes turned cold and he couldn't help but sigh. A misunderstanding actually changed Helian Xiang's life!

"That's right …"

"Then why did you send people to assassinate Helian Xiang Nan in the prison?!" And you, I clearly saw you kill yourself, how could that be? " Too many questions. Mo Yan looked at Tang Xue with suspicion!

"No …" I didn't set up the guards. The organization thought that I died a long time ago, so the matters after that were handed over to someone else to do. As for me … I didn't do anything. I really wanted to use my death to apologize for my crimes, but that blade of mine was off by half an inch. What's more unbelievable is that after I was buried, there was actually someone who stole the tomb. I survived! When I knew that Helian had fallen into a trap in the Southern Prison, I really wanted to die again, but I didn't dare to meet him. I was afraid that I would be speechless when I met him on the way to the Yellow Springs … Later, I found out that there was his tombstone, so I gave up on the thought of staying here to guard his grave … "Who knew that this defense would last for ten years …" Tang Xue slowly turned around and looked at the tombstone in front of her. An intense pain filled her entire body, and it turned out that in these past ten years, they had been missing each other in different places, and the heavens had played a big joke on them. Now that the truth was out, it was a pity that things did not go as they had always done, but the only thing that did not change was that she did not have the courage to face the mistakes of ten years ago …

After hearing the truth of what Tang Xue said, Mo Yan's anger gradually subsided. So it wasn't just him, Helian Nannan was the victim. Wasn't Tang Xue also the one who sacrificed the most important thing in her life?

"I will not pursue this matter... But I have a request! " A trace of hope flashed in her deep eyes. Mo Yan spoke indifferently, but before he could voice out his thoughts, Tang Xue had already spoken.

"I'm willing to let you pursue the matter. I'm willing to let you grant me death, yet I won't even go to the south …" I can't face him... You can tell him everything I just said. At that time, even if I didn't appear, he wouldn't insist on making Big Jing an enemy. He would only regret his persistence for the past ten years … "It doesn't matter if you can see me or not …" Tang Xue's eyes were tightly fixed on the tombstone towards the south of Helian City. A trace of sadness flowed through her heart!

"What if I have to go? I said he wouldn't believe it... Furthermore … I also believe that he won't blame you! Do you really want to give up this relationship? " Mo Yan could understand Tang Xue's current mood, but he had to be responsible to Helian Nan. Since Tang Xue did not die, she believed that after Tang Xue's confession, all the misunderstandings would be resolved!

"Your Majesty …" It's easy for you to make me die, but it's hard for you to stop me from dying … As for going south … "After knowing the truth, my death might let him rest on his laurels …" Tang Xue's tears silently dripped down as his cherry lips slightly opened. Just as he was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide, Mo Yan flashed in front of Tang Xue and pressed down on his acupoints!

"If you insist on dying, I won't stop you! If you don't want to see Helian going south, I won't force you! But I warn you! You know Helian Xiangnan's personality better than I do. If he didn't see you, he wouldn't have believed my words! When that time comes, he will do as he pleases and make an enemy of Xia Hou Mingxuan even if it means death. He will also make an enemy of me, the one hundred thousand soldiers of the Jing and Jing Family! When he finds out the truth, what do you think will happen to him? Because of a momentary misunderstanding, he had personally lost the lives of the one hundred thousand Jing soldiers he had led! It was better to use the word life than death to describe it! Just decide what you want to do! " With a raise of his hand, Mo Yan opened Tang Xue's acupoints, then turned and left!

"You … You really won't kill me? " Tang Xue looked at Mo Yan's back in astonishment. A trace of a ripple appeared in her heart! Mo Yan only paused for a moment before continuing forward. He did not reply!

Looking at Mo Yan's background, a trace of gratitude flashed across Tang Xue's eyes. He headed south … You'll be fine... I won't let anything happen to you again... Big Shu... Is it very far...

After three days of searching and racking his brains, Leng Ao Tian, Zheng Kui, Xia Hou Ming, Xuan, and the others still could not think of a way to break into Dingzhou City!

"We can't go up, let's go down!" Why don't we dig a tunnel? " Everyone was at a loss for what to do, and Xu Bixuan's skills were poor. If one were to speak carelessly, then it would already be impossible!

"I've investigated before, not only is the terrain very complicated, even the soil beneath the ground is mainly made of rock. Not to mention the fact that we don't have the tools to dig, even if my uncle Du Qian was here, he wouldn't be able to clear this path!" Xia Hou Ming's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but sigh!

"If the surface is no good and the underground is no good, what other way is there? Could it be it was going to be in the sky!? In the past two days, Helian Xiang also hasn't made any movements towards the south. Could it be that he wants to stay in a stalemate here? " Yin Yuerong anxiously looked at Xia Hou Mingxuan.

At this moment, Chu Jian suddenly walked in with a strange expression on her face …

"Reporting to Your Majesty! Dingzhou had sent Meng Ji to lead the army and fight. At this moment, they were outside the city, shouting and shouting! Old General Zheng has already rushed to the city gate tower and sent me to ask the emperor. Chu Jian's words caused everyone to be shocked. They did not expect Helian Xiangnan to attack from the south. It was just as Xia Hou Mingxuan had said, he did not give us any time to think of a solution!

"To the city tower!" Leng Ao Tian's expression suddenly became serious. With a cold look in his eyes, he strode out of the front hall with Xia Hou Ming and his group following closely behind.
