Frightened by Gong Qi's merciless words, Gong Xiaodie looked at the ordinary but indifferent woman in front of her with tears in her eyes. She has always known that although Gong Qi has helped her a lot in the past few years, she is still not her own person after all. As long as she has any possibility of affecting Gong Yuchen's words and deeds, she will immediately change color and look at her angrily, and her previous respect and thoughtfulness are all fake.

Seeing that she seemed to be frightened by herself, Gong Qi's expression softened a little, and he sighed slightly and said, "Miss is angry, I offended just now." But Miss, please think about it carefully, since you also know that His Royal Highness King Yan is beginning to doubt us, how can you still pin your hopes on him? To know... What King Yan hated the most was betrayal. Even if he spares your life for the sake of the fourth son, do you want to spend your whole life in the cold palace in desolation? ”

Gong Xiaodie bit the corner of her lip lightly and didn't speak, Gong Qi said softly: "Miss, outsiders are unreliable no matter what, in this world, only the pavilion master is your closest person, isn't it?" ”

Gong Xiaodie lowered her eyes and was silent, and Gong Qi was not in a hurry. Gong Xiaodie's temperament has long been clear to her, cowardly, indecisive, just like a silk flower, no one can rely on it at all, and she will never be able to firmly adhere to her own ideas. Even if it's your own feelings. At the beginning, in order to live and die for the sake of the string song boy, who was just a one-sided relationship, he enjoyed a few years of happiness in the Yan Wang's mansion and wanted to rely on the Yan king, and he didn't even have much nostalgia for the string song boy. If you say this well, you can think about it if you say it well, and if you don't hear it well, you have no heart and lungs.

If Gong Xiaodie was born in an ordinary rich family, there is nothing bad about such a temperament. Although she can't be the housewife in charge of the feed, she is enough to be a favored side room. But just... Gong Qi was really a little skeptical, how could the pavilion master tolerate Gong Xiaodie growing into such virtue?

In fact, this is really wronged Gong Yuchen, if the two grew up together, Gong Xiaodie would never have a chance to grow into the character she is now. It's a pity that by the time the two met for the first time, Gong Xiaodie was already sixteen years old, and her temperament had already been cultivated. is protected by Zhang Dingfang again, and Gong Yuchen is not good at tearing his face with Zhang Dingfang for a while. When Zhang Dingfang died, just looking at Zhang Dingfang's posthumous appearance, Gong Yuchen directly expressed despair about reversing her temperament, which was simply mud and couldn't get on the wall. Her father-in-law, who had loved her for more than ten years, was killed, she didn't even dare to say a word, and she couldn't even think of doing it for him. Fortunately, what Gong Yuchen needs is not her intelligence and ability.

Watching Gong Qi leave, Gong Xiaodie sat on the bed in a daze. The beautiful eyes are full of confusion and helplessness. In the past ten years, she thought that she was just a small jasper from an ordinary well-off family, and her father-in-law was very fond of her. One day a man claiming to be her brother suddenly appeared, and soon after, her father-in-law rebelled. At that time, she learned that her stepfather turned out to be a world-famous general. The sudden change in status made her at a loss to write, but she couldn't otherwise like it. Rather than growing up in the countryside, she prefers a life with a group of maids, fine clothes and food, and whatever she wants. She's supposed to be like that, isn't she?

But then her father-in-law died, and she was alone and helpless, so she had to follow her brother. could only be forced to follow his arrangement and go to the Yan Wangfu. King Yan was very good to her, except for her father-in-law, no one had ever been so good to her. She is not interested in Gong Yuchen's ambitions, she just wants to live a peaceful and stable life and have a man who loves her. Why is this still not working? Why does Gong Yuchen have to force her?!

But thinking of Gong Qi's words, Gong Xiaodie couldn't help but shrink a little. Although she hadn't seen the methods of King Yan to deal with betrayers, she had heard a lot. What the hell is she... What to do?

Chenzhou

With the addition of Wei Junmo, the imperial army dealing with Qingyun Mountain immediately seemed much smoother. Of course, originally King Ning didn't do his best. But the shun lì on the battlefield could not alleviate Wei Gongzi's aura that was getting colder and colder day by day. Not only the soldiers in the army, but even His Royal Highness King Ning couldn't help but want to avoid walking when he saw such a Wei Junmo.

In the big tent, Yuan Chun, who was full of white hair and described as old and haggard, stood tall in the middle. Above, Wei Junmo and King Ning looked at the veteran in front of them with different expressions. In a confrontation in the morning, Yuan Chun was unfortunately captured alive by the impatient Wei Gongzi. It also gave the officers and men of the two armies a real glimpse of what it means to take the head of a general among thousands of troops for the first time. Although Wei Gongzi did not take Yuan Chun's head, the impact of the capture of the Lord on the army is only more obvious than that of the Lord being killed. The army, which was originally fairly neat, suddenly split up and became a mess. It must be completely eradicated first, and it must only be a matter of time before it is done.

Yuan Chun raised his eyes to look at the two young people in the seat, and his already old face showed a little bit of vicissitudes of life. He didn't meet an opponent in the battle, but in the end he was defeated by the hands of these two young men. Looking at the generals in the army who are sitting or standing on the left and right of the big tent, the majority of them are young generals who are no more than 30 years old. It also made Eguo Gong feel a little old helpless and stunned.

King Ning looked at the Duke of E with interest and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of the Duke of Guo for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to get acquainted. Seeing him today, this king is deeply honored. This is not ironic, King Ning is indeed not known to the Duke of Eguo, he lived in the palace when he was young and no one knew him, and he was thrown to Xizhou by the first emperor when he was a teenager. Where can I get acquainted with the Duke of Eguo, the pillar of the country?

Yuan Chun smiled bitterly and arched his hand slightly: "His Royal Highness King Ning said that he laughed, how dare the general of the defeated army speak bravely." ”

King Ning waved his hand and smiled: "This is not right, the record of the Duke of Eguo is known to the world, and now... Not a crime of war. ”

Yuan Chun looked at King Ning with a somewhat complicated expression, and then looked at Wei Junmo who was sitting on the side, and sighed: "Yes, it is not a crime of war... It's really that God doesn't bless me, and I don't bless Your Majesty. ”

King Ning dragged his chin, "I have been waiting for the younger generations to admire the high righteousness of the Guogong for a long time, but now Xiao Qianye's little child is perverse, harming the emperor's uncle, disregarding human ethics, the third brother is in the first emperor's constitution, why don't the princes ......"

Yuan Chun thought about King Ning's words, and said in a deep voice: "King Ning's words are inevitably exaggerated. His Majesty was the Great Xia monarch who passed on the throne by the edict of the first emperor. It is impossible for an old minister to turn his back on the king. ”

King Ning seemed to have heard something funny, and sneered, "Exaggeration? Could it be that the two royal brothers of this king can't think of looking for death by themselves? Could it be that the brothers of those circles who have been degraded to the circle are all voluntary, or have they done something very rebellious? In the decades since the founding of the Great Xia, our imperial brothers have respected the imperial edict, the prince has conquered the country, and the vassal king has defended the land, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, right? Before the emperor's bones were cold, Xiao Qianye attacked his uncle, and the appearance was too ugly. ”

Yuan Chun was silent, he was upright by nature and not good at words, where could he argue with His Royal Highness King Ning.

King Ning continued: "Let's talk about the edict of the first emperor, how did the imperial examination die? The imperial examination and the crown prince and brother both died at the hands of Xiao Chun, and the edict of succession was indeed taken out by Xiao Chun. What did Xiao Qianye and Xiao Chun do in Lingzhou at the beginning, do you really think you can hide it from everyone? He thought that by killing Xiao Chun afterwards, he could stay out of the matter? Old Guogong, do you really think that these things have nothing to do with Xiao Qianye? ”

E Guogong gritted his teeth and was silent.

King Ning sighed regretfully, "Poor father thought that the prince was the most loyal person to him when he was alive. Now it seems... That's it, life in the world, although there is no selfishness? After all, the queen mother in the palace is surnamed Yuan. The eldest son of the emperor also has half of the blood of the distant family. ”

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out of E Guogong's mouth, and E Guogong's face suddenly became ugly. The whole person seemed to be several years old, and he stepped back, almost staggering, and almost fell to the ground.

Wei Junmo glanced at King Ning lightly and motioned for him to stop. His Royal Highness King Ning raised his eyebrows, a little unsatisfied. But looking at the disgraced face of the Duke of Eguo, it is better to shrug his shoulders and forget it. After all, it is an old man who has made great contributions to Great Xia, and it is not good if he is really angry.

Seeing this, Jian Qiuyang, who was next to him, helped E Guogong to do it in the chair next to him. An internal force was secretly conveyed to the past, and E Guogong eased up, and his face became a little more bloody.

After a while, I saw the Duke of E Guogong smile bitterly, raised his head and said: "His Royal Highness King Ning doesn't have to squeeze the old man like this, since the old man was defeated in the hands of the two, if you want to kill it, you have to listen to it." The old man has been worthy of himself all his life, and he will not be the one who betrays himself until he is old. ”

King Ning was not surprised, shrugged his shoulders and looked at Wei Junmo. Although he is the prince, in the land of Chenzhou, it is obvious that Wei Junmo said it.

Wei Junmo was not ambiguous, but said indifferently: "That's it, Qiuyang, you can send it to Gongchen Prefecture of Hubei State." ”

"Yes, Childe."

Hearing this, E Guogong couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at the cold man on the seat in a daze.

"Wei Gongzi... Do you want to let the old man go back? E Guogong said in a deep voice.

Wei Junmo said indifferently: "Otherwise? ”

Eguo Gong was speechless, he also guessed that Wei Junmo would not kill him, but he thought that Wei Junmo would imprison him in Chenzhou even if he did not persuade him to surrender, until the Yan Wangfu captured Jinling.

Jian Qiuyang said with a smile: "Old Guogong, please." ”

Duke E glanced at the generals in the tent, even if Wei Junmo made such a decision, none of these generals objected. There was not even the slightest worry or reluctance. It was as if what they had put back was not the Duke of Eguo in Great Xia, but just an insignificant old man. E Guogong once again felt that he was old, and at the same time, he also deeply felt... Majesty, I really can't fight these people.

Looking at the back of Eguo Gong walking out more than when he came in, King Ning sighed softly: "Poor Eguo Gong's generation of heroic ......" The beauty is twilight, and the hero has white hair, which is always the most suffocating.

After sending off the Duke of Eguo, King Ning looked at Wei Junmo and said, "This king didn't expect that you would let Yuan Chun go." ”

Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows and was silent, and King Ning frowned and said, "You should know that it is not good for you to release Yuanchun, even if you put him in Chenzhou for the time being." ”

Wei Junmo said indifferently: "I detained him today, and he will dare to seek death tomorrow." Since he can't keep him, what about letting him go? ”

King Ning said with a smile: "The enemy will be privately indulged... If you want to play a game of seven captures and seven verticals, it's fine, but you just let people go and return to Beijing safely. You say, where is this going to my third brother, what will they think? Wei Junmo said: "You didn't object. ”

King Ning smiled happily: "The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, what if this king opposes it, what if you pinch this king to death?" This king is timid. ”

"In that case, don't talk nonsense." Wei Jun said unexpectedly.

King Ning sighed, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This king understands your concerns, if Yuan Chun dies at your hands, it will indeed be troublesome in the future." After all... The only remaining founding hero of the Great Xia, Yuan Chun's reputation is not bad, and whoever kills him will not be able to escape the criticism of those sour Confucians in the future. ”

"You think I'm afraid of that?" Wei Jun said unexpectedly.

"Why is that?"

"No why, I don't want to." Wei Jun said unexpectedly. His Royal Highness King Ning didn't care, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's good if you're happy." In the past few days, he has been looking fierce and vicious, and there is no news about his death. ”

The breath on Wei Junmo's body suddenly turned cold and he didn't speak.

King Ning sighed and said: "To be honest, Chenzhou is so big, the people in the Water Pavilion are all masters, and with Nangong Huai planning behind the scenes, trying to find them is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." What's more, if you are in a hurry...... "If you are in a hurry, who knows if Nangong Huai will break the jar and simply kill him?" If they are in a hurry, Nangong Hua and the others will not have a good time, and the days of dying will naturally not be better. Three-year-old children are not as able to endure hardships as adults, in case they are tired, sick, hungry... It's hard to even think about it.

Wei Junmo was silent, how could he and Nangong Mo not understand the truth that King Ning understood? fell into the hands of the other party, and no matter what they did, they could only cast a mouse trap and be helpless. It is precisely this extremely rare helplessness that makes Wei Gongzi's temper worse day by day. Standing up, Wei Junmo said, "I'll leave it to you here, I'll go first." ”

"Huh? Where are you going? King Ning was puzzled.

"Back to Chenzhou." Wei Jun said unexpectedly.

"No, we'll be able to clean up the remnants of the army soon. Shouldn't we march to Jinling? Third brother, they should have already started crossing the river, right? ”

Wei Junmo's voice was a little impatient, "I want to go by myself." ”

Looking at the empty tent, King Ning touched his forehead and said to himself, "How much credit is it to break through Jinling?" Never mind... If you grab too much, you may be able to get a lot of credit when you will be able to do it. This king should stay in Chenzhou first. ”

In the study of Chenzhou Mansion, Nangong Mo held a piece of pink cloth in his hand and pondered with his eyes down. Although her face was calm, if you looked closely, you would find that the knuckles of the hand holding the fabric had turned white and trembled slightly.

"County Lord?" Qin Zixu looked at her and said with some concern.

Nangong Mo opened his eyes, his gaze was bright and cold, "What else did Nangong Huai say?" ”

The black-clothed guard below bowed his head and said, "Back to the county lord, the other party said... Please the county lord is better... The pursuers were withdrawn. Otherwise, the next time it will be sent will not be the little lady's clothes, but the ......" The guard stopped his mouth and did not dare to say the following words, but the individuals present could naturally guess the unfinished threat.

"Nangong Huai!" Nangong Mo said in a low voice, with a strong killing intent in his voice. Nangong Mo felt that she had never been so desperate for a person's life.

"What about the messenger?" Qin Zixu asked.

The guard said, "When the man finished speaking, he immediately committed suicide." "Obviously, the person who came was the dead soldier of the Water Pavilion, clean and neat, let alone stalking, and there was not even a chance to torture them.

Qin Zixu could only sigh, looked at Nangong Mo and said, "County Lord, what should we do?" ”

Nangong Mo was silent, and only after a long time did he say, "Withdraw the people." ”

"But, is it just for them to leave Chenzhou with the little lady?" Qin Zixu frowned.

Nangong Mo said: "It's okay, they won't hurt the young." ”

"That's all there is to it." Qin Zixu was helpless, he died in the hands of the other party, to be honest, even if they found someone, would they dare to kill him? But let the young man be taken away, how will he get it back in the future...... There are not many paths they can choose, and now they can only focus on their safety.

"The people of Zixiao Palace, don't you want to withdraw yet?" Qin Zixu said.

Nangong Mo nodded and did not speak. Qin Zixu comforted: "Little Miss has deep luck, she will be fine." Please also ask the county lord to be relieved. Nangong Mo barely hooked a smile on his lips, and nodded slightly. But the deep-locked eyebrows couldn't be unfolded.

"Feeling better?" Nangong Mo collected his thoughts and asked.

Qu Lianxing was too seriously injured, if it weren't for the presence of a miracle doctor like the old man, I was afraid that it would really be more than lucky. It's only been a few days, and I'm still still asleep. Qin Zixu nodded slightly and said, "It's much better, the old-timer said that he should be able to wake up in the next two days." Just ......"

"Just what?" Nangong Mo asked.

Qin Zixu sighed and said, "The injury in her heart is too dangerous, even if she recovers, I'm afraid that she will fall to the root of the disease." The old-timers said that they would go back and prepare a pair of medicines for Miss Qu, and it might be good to raise them for a few more years. Nangong Mo nodded and said, "Master's medical skills don't have to worry, as long as they can be good, it's a good thing." Go ahead, the affairs of the house have been hard for you these days. ”

Qin Zixu arched his hand and said: "The matter of the subordinates, the county lord is serious. The subordinates retired. ”

Nangong Mo nodded and watched Qin Zixu exit the study.

He looked down at the pink fabric in his hand. There was a little dirt and blood on the originally smooth and clean pink material, and Nangong Mo couldn't help but throb in his heart.

"Young... Young..."

No matter how strong she is, she is as worried and frustrated as any mother in the face of such a thing as her daughter's whereabouts. I can't help but panic in my heart all the time, for fear that what if my daughter suffers outside or something happens? Such worries kept her awake at night, and her clear eyes were already stained with a faint shadow.

"Don't be wrong... My mother will come to save your ......"

"Flawless." A voice sounded at the door, Nangong Mo was stunned, and looked up at the light and shadow at the door, and a slender voice stood out. Looking at her, her purple eyes were full of worry and guilt.

"Jun Mo!" Seeing him, Nangong Moyin's tears that he had been holding back for a long time suddenly fell uncontrollably.

"Flawless, I'm back. I'm sorry..."Wei Junmo walked in quickly and took her into his arms.

"Jun Mo, it's gone... What to do? It's gone......" Leaning on his arms, Nangong Mo finally couldn't help crying bitterly.

Wei Junmo gently patted her vest and said softly, "I know... I know, don't worry, it's going to be fine. Looking at the flawless panic that he had never seen before, Wei Junmo's purple eyes were churning with surging killing intent.
