Chapter 108: Inkstone Stained with Blood
Returning to the Patriotic Barracks in despair, looking at Yun Wenyan's worried and distressed eyes towards her, she felt that her heart was bleeding. She thought that she had lost her heart to Shen Yao and gave up her love, but when facing him, she couldn't disobey his orders. She has loved him since she was a child, and she loves him. After more than ten years of relationship, she couldn't let go, kept cutting, and couldn't forget it, even though he hurt himself again and again in order to achieve his goal. She hated him, loved him, and wouldn't fail to help him.
Moreover, Shen Yao used Yun Wenyan's life as a threat, Mu Qianchen knew that Shen Yao was by no means scaring her, he had always been a person who did what he said. She knew that she felt too guilty about Yun Wenyan, but the most important thing now was to save his life, what other countries and social institutions, she didn't understand, she didn't care, she just wanted him to live.
The next day, she handed over the defense map of the garrison's border pass and the grain and grass account book in Yunwenyan's camp to Shen Yao, and he promised to let her continue to stay with Yunwenyan. It's just that when this war is over, she must go back with him.
Because Shen Yao mastered the grain and grass in Yunwenyan's army and the deployment of nearby troops, he easily cut off the food and grass supply route of the guards. Seeing that the grain and grass were decreasing day by day, but there was no solution in the slightest, the guards were in turmoil. Defeated in this battle with the Qi State, he was forced to cede several cities on the frontier to the Qi State.
On the day when the Weijun squad returned to the court, Mu Qianchen left a letter and said goodbye without saying goodbye.
In the letter, she told Yun Wenyan that Qi still had something to do, and she would marry him again after she had finished it.
She wore a mask and silently followed Shen Yao to return to the court with the army, but she didn't want the army to march for only two hours, Shen Yao asked Mu Qianchen to turn back with him, saying that she wanted her to accompany him to meet someone.
She was still wondering in her heart, with Shen Yao's identity and status, she still wanted him to avoid meeting everyone, but when she saw that person, she couldn't stop trembling, the person Shen Yao brought her to see was Yun Wenyan.
In late spring, the cherry blossoms on the trees are almost at the end of their bloom, and when the wind blows, the light pink petals flutter down from the trees like a waterfall and fall everywhere.
Mu Qianchen hid behind the mask, staring at him without blinking. At this time, she was silently glad in her heart, fortunately she had a mask on her face to cover her appearance, otherwise, she really didn't know what kind of expression to use to face herself.
"Xinglan lost this battle, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used soldiers to enter the gods, and Xinglan lost convincingly. It's just ......" he looked at Mu Qianchen and smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that the silver-faced Shura, who is known as the number one killer in the world, is actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
He was dressed in white and stood under a tree, his brow full of sunny smiles. He looked at Shen Yao, not like looking at an opponent, but more like a friend.
"His Royal Highness King Yongwang has won the award, and this king's use of soldiers is far inferior to His Royal Highness Yongwang, but in terms of strategizing and playing games, this king is indeed a little higher than His Royal Highness."
"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean, Xinglan doesn't understand."
"The meaning is very simple," Shen Yao smiled lightly, "marching and fighting is like chess, you and I both understand this truth, what this king is good at is just to place the chess pieces around him to His Royal Highness King Yong, and it is the closest place." ”
“!!!” Mu Qianchen stared at him in shock, she suddenly understood what his purpose was in bringing her here. He wanted to use himself to completely destroy him, to get rid of a powerful opponent for himself and for the Qi country.
"You mean, there are people among my cronies who have you."
"Your Highness really underestimated this king, no, it was this king who overestimated you. That person is the pillow man of His Royal Highness Yongwang. You say, don't you? Ah Chen. ”
Shen Yao leaned sideways and smiled lightly at her, such a smile full of deep meaning and resentful conspiracy made Mu Qianchen shudder.
"What are you talking about......" Yun Wenyan stared at Mu Qianchen in shock, with an irrepressible tremor in his voice, "You are Xiaochen?" ”
She stood there straight, looking at her, silent.
"Ah Chen, go kill him."
“!!!”
"I repeat, go and kill him."
Mu Qianchen looked at Shen Yao in shock, and his right hand gradually touched the long sword at his waist, but he never pulled it up. Yun Wenyan stared straight at Mu Qianchen, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What? You can't do it? You have followed me for fourteen years, and you have never disobeyed my orders, and today for him, are you going to betray me, betray the entire Shadow Pavilion, and betray the oath you made at the beginning?! ”
"Subordinate...... Obey the order......" She said these words tremblingly, slowly walked in front of Yun Wenyan, pulled out her long sword, and whispered to him, "Wen Yan...... Sorry ......"
Bright red blood stained her hands, and at that moment, watching him take off the mask on his face, with a look of shock and despair, her mind went blank.
She didn't know how she had left there, how she had returned to Ning City, or how she had returned to the Shadow Pavilion. In short, she is no longer the feared killer she was before, and her sword has long been shattered into several pieces by her internal force. She didn't want to touch it again, as soon as she touched it, she would ring the scene of that day, and the blood of Yun Wenyan would be stained all over her hands.
She sat there all day, holding the jade pendant given to her by Yun Wenyan tightly in her hand. Gradually, the Shadow Pavilion spread the news that Mu Qianchen was crazy. She reads the word Wen Yan in her mouth every day, and regards anyone as Wen Yan in her mouth, and drags it to death, never letting go no matter what.
Three months later, news came out from the Shadow Pavilion that the world's number one killer, "Silver-Faced Shura", suddenly died violently, and there was no more such terrifying killer in the world. And under the high walls of the Qi Palace, there is an additional long-lost princess found by the old emperor before his death-Yu Tan.
A month later, Shen Yao rightfully inherited the throne of the old emperor who died of illness, and on the third day of his succession, he launched a large number of new measures and systems to rectify the dynasty and make the entire Qi country look new. He cherishes his sister who has just been found, and his love for her even exceeds that of the queen who has always been by his side, the former crown princess Lan Yurou.
She sat quietly under the tall plane tree, playing the tune that Yun Wenyan had taught herself over and over again, thinking about the past days, and then thinking about her past life, she only felt that it was a joke. The person who made her willing to pay a qiē for it was nothing more than using herself, using her feelings for him, to achieve his ambitions and goals. He never cares about his own feelings, he doesn't care about his own heart, because people like him don't have a heart at all.
