35. Return
Wing City, clear sky. A harrier swooped down from the sky, and Yun Wen took off the small copper tube on the eagle's foot, opened the secret letter inside, and took a closer look.
"I found out, Zishuo's original name was Anyi, An is his mother's surname, his grandfather is the current monarch of Wei, and his father is the sixth son of King Wei, Xiangwang, who was executed by Manmen for the crime of rebellion in his early years, and he was rescued by the old servants in the house, and has been living incognito among the people since then. It is said that the king of Wei regretted the execution of King Xiang in recent years, and after knowing that An Yi did not die, he wanted to send someone to take him back to Kyoto to inherit the title of King Xiang, but An Yi did not accept it, and did not restore the surname Wei. When he was sixteen years old, he went to Dabei Temple to be a lay disciple, and he was Yili's junior brother, and he fell in love with Ye Xuan. After the death of the princess that year, An Yi took Miss Ye back to Wei, and then for some reason, Miss Ye left alone. After Miss Ye entered the palace, An Yi did not hesitate to enter the Ming Yan Division in order to save her. โ
Yan Xu closed his eyes and leaned in the Taishi chair, rubbed his eyebrows with two fingers, and said coldly after a while: "Pass the order, as long as you find comfort, you can kill it." โ
After receiving the news that his father Rui Wang died of a sudden illness, Yan Xu rushed to Yicheng non-stop. As soon as he entered the city, he learned that King Rui had been buried, and received an edict from the emperor ordering him to take the title of King Rui and live in King Rui's mansion from now on. His heart suddenly chilled, on the way back, he knew that things were not simple, if it wasn't for the cat, he would never have been buried in a hurry before even the first seven days, and let him live outside the palace. He wanted to enter the palace to ask the emperor what was going on, but the emperor refused to do so with a dragon body, and he didn't even let him enter the palace gate. A few days later, Emperor Yan drove and Prince Yan Min ascended the throne.
He had no doubt that King Rui's death was caused by the first emperor, who was worried that after his death, the crown prince would be weak, and King Rui would have a different heart, so he put him to death before his death, so that the prince could ascend the throne before Yan Xu returned to Yicheng. The resentment in his heart was indescribable, but Yan Xu knew that now was not the time for revenge, and he had to endure it. All of these qiฤ, after he successfully obtained the Ten Strategies and won the world, will be liquidated one by one. At the moment, what he wanted to get rid of the most was this person who almost killed him, and for the first time in his life, he was a wolf.
Yun asked, hesitated and asked, "But the Mingyan Division's side ...... Would you like to say hello? "An Yi is a member of the Ming Yan Division, according to the rules, only the Ming Yan Division and the Emperor have the right to execute, and An Yi still has the remaining fifty Bliss Pills in his hand.
Yan Xu didn't raise his eyes, and a sneer pulled up at the corner of his mouth, Tong Mo couldn't even protect his master, why should he worry about the Bliss Pill for him? "Don't worry about the Ming Flame Division, do our business."
Yun Wen has been following Yan Xu for many years, and he immediately understood what he was thinking. Tong Mo was looking forward to recovering the stolen Bliss Pill some time ago, but he didn't care about King Rui, and let King Rui die in the palace, Yan Xu didn't pursue it, he was already praying to God and worshiping Buddha. What's more, if he can't intercept An Yi in front of them and retrieve the Bliss Pill, it is because he has no ability and no one else, and their master doesn't need someone who has no ability to work for him, it is enough for him to have Yunwei. As for the newly enthroned emperor Yan Min, Yan Xu has never taken him seriously, so he doesn't have to pay attention to it.
Yun Wen was just about to retreat, when Yun Shan knocked on the door and came in, with a little joy on his face, "Lord Wang, King Wei has finally descended." โ
Yan Xu slowly opened his eyes, his tightly knit brows stretched slightly, this was probably the only good news he had heard in the past month, but this victory was not easy to come by, at least not as smoothly as he had originally expected. After Yucheng learned that the commander of the Jin army was injured, he held on even more, and Yan Xu hurried back to Yicheng in a hurry, and had to use the "ghost army" that he secretly built and hid deeply.
The so-called ghost army is composed of a strong deaf and dumb strong man, there are only 3,000 people, but all of them are as strong as oxen, they all wear white rattan woven clothes and gall during the battle, and then cover all black armor, the face is painted with white paint, the lips are dyed with cinnabar, and the mouth contains the soul snatcher whistle, the voice of the soul snatcher whistle is extremely poignant, like a ghost crying wolf howl, they sneak attack in the moonlit night, and because the white rattan knife on the body is invulnerable, it looks like a ghost in the night, so it is called the "ghost army".
When Yan Xu was preparing to build this ghost army, he originally planned to come in handy after obtaining the Ten Directions in the future, but he didn't expect that everything went well in the battle of Weidi, and there was bad news from Yicheng, so he had to rush back, so he took a risk and used the "ghost army", but fortunately, the "ghost army" lived up to expectations and finally recovered Weidi. Even so, it exposed the existence of the "ghost army" in advance, which will inevitably arouse Yan Min's suspicions. But now he can't take care of much, anyway, Yan Min has only been sitting on this throne for half a year at most, and the winner is the king, as long as he gets the ten strategies and wins the world, no one dares to say anything.
He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and ordered: "Haosheng appeases the generals of the ghost army and goes back to the ghost valley to standby." โ
Yun Shan and Yun Wen were just about to retreat, but Yun Hai came in again to report and said that they had also left. Yan Xu was stunned, and a faint smile finally appeared on her face, "It's finally here?" He's got what he does. He got up from the chair, brushed his sleeves, and then walked out of the study calmly, "Let's go, let's see what that Fuxi gossip is." โ
In the front yard of King Rui's Mansion, Yan Xu stood on the stone steps and silently looked at Yili standing in the courtyard. He was still dressed in the same blue-gray plain robe, his posture was straight, and his elegance was still the same, but the scars on the corners of his eyebrows and the bruises on the bottom of his eyes revealed his wolf bรจi these days.
Yan Xu's jaw was slightly raised, his eyes were burning, as if he was watching something interesting, and he said leisurely after a long time: "I don't think you have the ability to take Fuxi gossip from the hands of the Eighteen Bronze Man Array, but you undoubtedly have a good master." I'm curious, how did you convince Wataichi? โ
Yili's thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, and he looked at Yan Xu from the bottom up, "I know what you want, I did bring the Fuxi gossip today, I want to save the moon, I won't regret handing over the Fuxi gossip for her, but I might as well tell you that the Fuxi gossip was lost in my hands, and I will take it back with my own hands in the future." He took out the Fuxi gossip from his arms, raised his hand and threw it towards Yan Xu, "Now...... Give me back the cherished moon. โ
The gossip was just a big circle bigger than the palm of his hand, Yan Xu stretched out his hand to take it, his eyebrows and eyes were flying, he slowly paced down the stone steps, and handed it to Yunshan on the side without looking at the gossip in his hand, "Yes, it's very good, then I'll wait and see." He immediately clapped his palms, and after a while, Yun Wen and Yun Hai brought a carriage.
Yan Xu put away the smile on her face, opened the curtain of the carriage, and there was a soft and comfortable bed in the spacious carriage, on which lay a young woman, with starry eyes and red lips, and picturesque eyebrows, she was lying there with her eyes closed, knowing nothing about the outside world, as if she was asleep.
Yan Xu no longer had the ridicule on her face, and looked at the woman silently, and even her breathing was lightened. After a while, he carefully smoothed her hair loose on her chest, held her soft and boneless hand in his palm, and said softly: "Xiyue, don't be afraid, you will be back soon." โ
He looked deeply at her again, gritted his teeth and lowered the curtain, and turned away abruptly.
Yili kept looking at the carriage, his feet seemed to be filled with grout, and after a long time he stepped closer, and opened the curtain with trembling hands, and when he finally saw the woman inside, it was difficult to press the excitement in his heart, his eyes were red and trembled...... Cherish the Moon...... It's really you. It's all my fault...... It's late. โ
The gate of Rui Wang's Mansion opened, and the carriage carrying Gu Xiyue slowly drove away from the palace, Yan Xu stood under the corridor with his hands in his hands, forcing himself not to turn back until the carriage rumbled away, and he could no longer hear the sound...... He closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "Cherish the moon...... Trust me, you'll be back soon......"
I don't know how long he stood there, there were rapid footsteps behind him, he could hear that it was Yunzhu's footsteps, but she had always been steady, rarely so impatient, he couldn't help but jump in his heart, for fear that something would happen to Gu Xiyue just left.
He turned around, and sure enough, he heard Yunzhu say hurriedly: "Lord Wang, Miss Xiyue is back." โ
His face changed, "Why did you come back so soon?" What happened? โ
Yun Zhu saw that his color suddenly changed, and he was also stunned, "My subordinates don't know, just now the doorman came to report, Miss Xiyue came to the door by herself, I have confirmed, it is indeed Miss Xiyue, there is no doubt that she said that she secretly ran out from the Great Compassion Temple to find the prince." โ
Yan Xu's mind turned sharply, and finally realized that the cherished moon in Yunzhu's mouth did not refer to Gu cherishing the moon, but another cherishing the moon. After being surprised, he was overjoyed, today is really a good thing, first came the news of Wei Di's victory, and then the long-awaited Fuxi gossip finally arrived, and now even Xiyue is back.
"Is she alright? Quick, where is she? โ
Yun Zhu said: "Miss Xiyue refuses to enter the door, Xu is a little afraid of the palace. โ
Yan Xu smiled, she was used to living in the palace, probably a little resistant to this Rui Wangfu, and she was relieved to see him in person, "I'll pick her up." โ
He walked quickly to the main gate, but when he arrived at the door, there was no one, and the doorman told him that when Yunzhu entered the room just now, Miss Xiyue left again for some reason. Yan Xu was in a hurry, asked her about the direction she left and chased after her. It was noon, and the streets were sparsely populated, with the occasional two or three hawkers carrying their burdens through the streets or chasing frolicking children. After chasing for a while, I saw that familiar figure.
"Cherish the moon, don't go...... Wait for me. โ
Xiyue paused, turned around to look at him, there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, but after just one glance, he turned around sharply and continued to walk. Yan Xu was a little panicked in his heart, the last time he was injured outside Yucheng, Xiyue was willing to use his example as bait to lure An Yi away in order to prevent An Yi from finding him, he didn't know about her going crazy, only afterwards he learned that she was seriously injured, An Yi took the initiative to donate fifty Paradise Pills in order to escort her all the way to the Great Compassion Temple to heal, and promised to hand over the rest of the Paradise Pills afterwards. What he was worried about at this time was that during the period of recuperation in the Great Compassion Temple, Yili might have told her everything.
The pale green figure walked faster and faster, and Yan Xu became more and more uneasy in her heart. Reason told him that she was just a tool for him to obtain the Ten Directions, and that he had no need to worry about anything, just capture her and take her back to the palace to be imprisoned, regardless of what she thought in her heart. But he couldn't explain how he felt at this time, he was afraid that she would know what he had done to her, and that she would resent him because of it.
He quickened his pace, and finally took her hand, decisively pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, "Cherish the moon, don't go......"
Smelling the familiar fragrance of her, he took a deep breath uncontrollably, his hand tightening tighter, but obviously, she didn't respond to him. His heart sank, and he held her shoulders with both hands, trying to see the reason on her face, only to see that her eyes were slightly red, her cherry lips were pursed, and she didn't look at him with her eyes down.
He was a little anxious, caressing her face and rubbing it carefully, "Xiyue, you have lost weight, but the injuries on your body are healed?" These days...... I've really wronged you. It's all my fault, if I hadn't been careless last time, I wouldn't have let you suffer these hardships. โ
He lifted her chin slightly, trying to see a response in her eyes, but she still pursed her lips, her face full of stubbornness. He licked his lips that were a little dry, and carefully considered it, "Xiyue, what's wrong with you?" Angry with me? Blame me for not looking for you? It's not that I don't want to go to you, it's ...... My father has just passed away, and the affairs of the house are cumbersome, besides, I know that An Yi took you to the Great Compassion Temple to heal you, and I don't dare to disturb it rashly. He looked her from head to toe again, "Sue me, how is your injury, but how are you healed?" Did you sneak out? Don't worry if the injury is not completely healed, there is a skilled doctor in the house, and I will let him show you in a moment. Although the Rui Wang's Mansion is not as big as the palace place, we must be more comfortable here than in the palace......"
He said a lot, but Xiyue was still silent, and he became more and more uneasy in his heart, and finally said: "Xiyue, what happened?" Did they tell you something? Don't listen to their nonsense, I promised you, give me some time, and after September, I will give you an explanation. Shall we go back? โ
Xiyue finally raised her eyes to look at him, and the tears in her eyes couldn't hold back anymore, and slipped down silently. Yan Xu hugged her into her arms again, "Fool, don't cry, if you believe me, you will ...... every qiฤ"
He originally wanted to say that a qiฤ would pass, but before the rest of the words could be spoken, he only felt a dull pain in his abdomen, he lowered his head in disbelief, and a sharp short blade was against his abdomen, and the person holding the blade was the Xiyue in his arms.
