Chapter 234: Endgame (7)
A month later, Situ Mu led his troops back to Ningzhou from northern Xinjiang.
Because of Tang Bu's clever strategy, coupled with Situ Mu's personal conquest and hard work, everything is the first, this battle of Lucheng, against Baisha, the monarch and the minister are united, it can be said that they are invincible and invincible. The war situation in northern Xinjiang has been decided, and the lord of Baisha State presents a letter of surrender and bows his head. The people in the north even respected Situ Mu like a god and swore to follow him. As soon as the war ended, Situ Mu arranged many affairs and immediately rushed back to Ningzhou without stopping.
On the way back, they had already received a battle report from Ningzhou, and learned that Situ Xi's army had been repulsed and Ningzhou had been defended. Naturally, Tang Bujing also heard the news of his death. He could have thought that Hanxi could win the battle, but he never expected that he would take his life. And for the two sisters Hanxi and Hanxiao, they are very important people. His death is afraid that it has dealt a huge blow to the cold tide. Thinking that Han Xi was alone in Ningzhou City at the moment, Tang Bu was so surprised that he couldn't help but fly to her side immediately, accompany her, guard her, and comfort her!
When he finally rushed back to Ningzhou City, from a distance, Tang Bu was surprised to see Han Xi standing on the city wall waiting for him. Although she won the war, she still wore plain white clothes. In the past, it was because of the great revenge that had not been avenged, and he could not wear colorful clothes; Now, for the sake of the deceased, he wears white clothes for him. Tang Buzhen looked up at her while riding his horse. The cold tide was not tied, and he did not wear any hair accessories, but just let the hair fly in the wind. Her face was pale and there was no joy or sorrow to be seen. But Tang Bushu knew that Hanxi's heart was cold and fragile at the moment, she was just pretending to be herself and not revealing it in front of others.
When the Qing army entered the city, Situ Mu summoned Mu Xianxing and others to arrange post-war matters, but Tang Bujing and Hanxi did not participate in the discussion. Han Xi took Tang Bu to the cellar of the Mu Mansion, and was wrapped in cold ice and lay there quietly. Tang Bujing took the incense candle handed over by Hanxi and bowed very respectfully. This man is the only one who can compare with him. They used to be rivals in love, and they were all looking forward to the cold love; Later, in the days when Hanxi left, they became confidants again, comforting each other's wounds. Now that he has passed away suddenly, Tang Buxing only feels that his heart is empty, and there is a kind of sadness in his heart, and there is nowhere to put it.
"Brother Rong said that he has something to ask you, and if you want you to help him complete it." Han Xi looked at and met Junyi's face, hidden in the dim light of the cellar, and couldn't bear it, so he lit a small ball of spiritual light and placed it on Heyu's side, "He said, to use his eyes to help Yi'er regain his light. You know that, right? ”
Tang Buxi nodded lightly: "Yes, not long after Yi'er was born, Gongzi Rong talked to me about this matter. He felt ashamed of Yi'er and always wanted to cure his eye disease. I told him that with the third sister's medical skills, it was indeed possible to restore Yi'er's sight. But the price comes to have someone to trade his eyes for. After hearing this, Gongzi Rong insisted on asking me to take his eyes and exchange them for Yi'er. It's just that I think it's too cruel to him, so I haven't been willing to agree. ”
Han Xi stretched out his hand and gently touched his closed eyes, and said, "I see." Before he died, this was what he thought about in his heart. That's why I use spells every day to protect his body from decay, just waiting for you to come back. ”
Tang Bu sighed in surprise: "Although Gongzi Rong has avoided Miss Hanxiao and Yi'er all these years, in his heart, he actually misses their mother and son very much. Rong Gongzi and I are also confidants, and I will try my best to help him. As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at Han Xi, and asked, "What about you, Xi'er." Now that Situ Xi has been captured, Miss Hanxiao has also returned to Tianshui Lake to meditate, what about you, what are you going to do? ”
"I want to stay here for the time being to help His Highness ascend the throne smoothly." Han Xi said sincerely, "Before forming the alliance, I promised him that he would definitely help him ascend to the throne of God, and since I said it, I naturally had to do it." Anyway, now that the situation has been decided, Situ Hehan has been controlled by us. On the side of the palace, Zhuang Feiyu and Empress Nan's imprisonment were lifted, and the two of them had taken control of the situation. Now, we just need to support His Highness to return to the palace and then take the throne. After that, when the Nine Heavens Divine Palace is almost ready for my uncle, I will rush back immediately and lift the seal of the clan. As for what to do next, I still haven't decided ......"
"Okay, whatever you want to do, I will accompany you." Tang Bujing said firmly, gently hugging her into his arms, "I know you've had a hard time these days. Xi'er, if you want to cry, just cry. ”
His voice was demonic, making Hanxi's heart, which had been tense since he left, soften little by little. She buried her face in Tang Buzhen's chest, and her voice gradually choked: "You don't know, only the moment Brother Rong went, I cried." After that, I put him here and came to see him every day, but I never shed a single tear. I always feel that he has not left us, and one day, he will wake up......" As she spoke, she raised her face and looked at Tang Bu and asked, "You say, if Brother Rong had never met me and my sister, would his life be much better?" ”
"Don't be stupid, say such stupid things!" Tang Bujing reprimanded softly, but he was extremely pitiful, "Young Master Rong, like me, never regrets appearing in front of you." We are even glad that we can meet you in our lifetime, and you can light up the colors of life. Xi'er, you don't know how special you are to us! If you can't meet, even if your life is smooth and smooth, you will always feel that time is wasted and you are unhappy. ”
Han Xi hugged Tang Bushu's back tightly, as if he wanted to draw more strength from his body. Her voice was muffled and begging: "Promise me that you will never leave me, okay?" ”
"Even if you drive me away and get tired of me, I will stay with you for nothing." Tang Bujing smiled and patted Han Xi's head and promised.
After Situ Mu returned to Ningzhou, he rested for three days and immediately returned to the court. After the battle in northern Xinjiang, Situ Mu had a very high status in the hearts of the people, and no one accused him of the so-called "forced confession and rebellion". When he returned to the capital, some people jumped out to accuse Situ Mu of the faction that originally belonged to Situ Xi, saying that he was already a deposed prince who had fled and rebelled, and he was not qualified to be the emperor at all. And Situ Yan is the crown prince who has issued a holy decree and announced to the world, so the emperor's grandson Situ Yan should be appointed as the new monarch.
Situ Mu watched these ministers talk endlessly, until Zhuang Feiyu stood up and calmed the chaos with thunderous means. As the most favored and trusted concubine of the first emperor, she said that Situ Bi was finally controlled by Situ Xi to set up another prince. Since the Qing Dynasty, Situ Mu has both virtue and meritorious service in protecting the country, and is the best candidate to succeed the throne. Situ Yan, the grandson of the emperor, is the son of Situ Mu, and Situ Mu will pass on the throne of Situ Yan in the future, which is not against the will of the emperor. In addition, Situ Bi was very fond of King Yongning, the son of Zhuang Feiyu. Before leaving the palace, in order to ensure that their mother and son were well-being, Situ Bi had already handed over all the Praetorian Guards in the palace to Zhuang Feiyu for dispatch. Under the instruction of Zhuang Feiyu, the forbidden army has surrounded the palace layer by layer. If there is a person who has trouble, none of them can leave the palace. Concubine Yi and King Yongning obviously submitted to Situ Mu's lineup, joined forces, and quickly took control of the situation. (To be continued.) )
