Chapter 116: Defeat and retreat
Chapter 116 is defeated
In Tianya Tower, most of the prostitutes were dismissed, and no guests were willing to patronize, so it was cold and deserted, but it was very calm.
Since Mu Qianya's mother and son were rescued, they have also lived in Tianyalou, the palace can't go back, and at this time, they don't care about anything else, rumors or something, anyway, it's enough, it's still important to save your life.
During the two days he stayed in the Liuli Palace, Mu Jianlang was frightened, a four-year-old child, who was forbidden everything that he shouldn't have forbidden.
Strangers broke in, the mother was not there, no one stopped them, and they were forcibly taken out of Jing Yaxuan.
Later, he was locked up in a small room, no matter how much he cried, no one paid attention to him, he was tired of crying, his eyes were swollen and his tears were dry, and no one cared, just delivered the food on time and on time.
On the second day, a lot of strange people in black came, all of them expressionless, just guarding him, he just hid aside, and didn't even dare to say a word.
In the middle of the night, someone kicked the door open, and it was the sisters dressed in black, the same indifference.
Not to mention fighting with those men in black, the light of the long sword was shining, the cold wind mixed with the coldness on their bodies, and the cheeks were painful.
The black-clothed man who was guarding him before was bleeding and fell to the ground without moving, lying in a pool of blood with a hideous face.
He was so frightened that he hid in the corner, shivering, and even forgot to cry, and watched the whole thing in a wooden way.
The corpse on the ground, the wounds on the corpse, remained in his heart, indelible, and deeply stimulated his young heart.
One of the beautiful sisters in black put away her sword, squatted down in front of him, and gently stretched out her hand, but he couldn't help but hold his head and scream.
Her body and face were still stained with blood, no matter how gentle she was, she was also fierce just now, and the long sword was also stained with blood.
The moment he saw his mother, he just shrunk into her arms, sobbing lowly, unable to live up anymore, his mind full of bloody scenes of killing.
For several days, he had the same nightmare repeatedly, waking up from the dream crying, his little arms around Mu Qianya's neck, crying.
Looking at the stupid Mu Jianlang, Mu Qianya frowned, her good child was tossed like this, she hated Yang Rui, hated Duan Meng, at this moment, the most hated was Mu Yunfan, because only he succeeded.
Mu Qianxun carried a box of pastries, walked in slowly, and put on a reluctant bright smile, bitter in her heart, she would not have it again, and there would be such a cute child again.
Open the box, it is made into various shapes of pastries, the faint aroma of osmanthus cake fills the whole room, looking small and delicious, tempting tight, Mu Jianlang likes these little things the most.
Mu Qianxun beckoned, smiling mysteriously: "Come to Jianlang, come to your aunt, what is the difference between you and usual?"
Mu Jianlang tilted his head suspiciously, but still turned over and got out of bed, sat down at the table obediently, picked up a piece of pastry and chewed it carefully, thinking about it: "It's not as delicious as usual." ”
Mu Qianxun's face was black, this was all made by herself, where was it better than the imperial chef in the palace, for this strange pastry, she didn't put a lot of thought into it, Mu Jianlang's evaluation is really annoying!
Mu Qianxun raised his head angrily, took a bite of the pastry, and said in a childlike tone: "Nonsense, it's obviously the same." ”
Mu Jianlang spread his hands and pretended to be old: "Oh, aunt, you also said it, it's obviously the same, you still lie to me and say that it's different from usual, it's aunt you're talking nonsense!"
Mu Qianxun sneered and scratched Mu Jianlang's nose: "You, what a ghost!"
Then, his expression became serious: "Jianlang, everything is over, you have to be happy, so that my sister will be happy, my sister is only you, you are a man, you have to protect her, okay?"
Mu Jianlang clenched his fists in confusion and waved his fists resolutely:
"Well, I'm a man, I will protect my mother and concubine well, and never let anyone bully her, not even my father!"
Mu Qianya wet her eyes, hugged the little Mu Jianlang in her arms, and the immature words made her heart warm when she listened to them.
Mu Qianxun was also soft and weak at the beginning, but she believed in her, and sure enough, she protected herself again and again.
Today, she also believes in this little guy, she raises him young, he will be able to support her old, and they will only depend on each other in the future.
"The mother concubine doesn't cry, Jian Lang will definitely be more powerful than his father in the future, if Jian Lang becomes the emperor, he must be better and stronger than his father! Hmm!"
Mu Qianya covered Mu Jianlang's mouth, her eyes widened, and Mu Jianlang's unintentional words frightened her.
If others hear this, they will not be able to cure him for a great crime of rebellion, and in this land, who dares to say such things as "if I become the emperor".
If we don't stop it now, it will definitely be a catastrophe in the future, but there are some things that can not be covered by the palm of a hand.
Mu Qianya let go of her hand, looked at the confused Mu Jianlang, pinched his shoulder, and solemnly instructed:
"Jianlang, remember, don't say this kind of thing again in the future, if you want to protect your mother and protect yourself, you are not allowed to mention it again, you know?"
Mu Jianlang pursed his lips reluctantly, nodded, a little disappointed, he was obviously very serious, why didn't Mu Qianya let him say it.
Mu Qianxun smiled awkwardly, pulled Mu Jianlang back into his arms, and tried to liven up the atmosphere:
"Hey, he's still a child, even if the emperor hears it, it won't be anything, you're too nervous. ”
Nearly a month has passed, and the rumors of Mu Qianxun's birth as a demon star have not only not subsided, but have intensified, not only in the imperial city, but also in the entire Xia Kingdom, all of which know about Mu Qianxun's existence.
Liu Shan, who had already led a large army to the border city, did not play much role, stubbornly defending Mingyi and retreating one after another.
In just half a month, about one-fifth of the 200,000 army was broken, and if this continued, the Xia Kingdom would be captured sooner or later.
Every time it came back to the imperial city, it was the news of the defeated army, and there was not even a single good news, which was the worst in the history of the Xia Kingdom.
Mu Yunfan was in a hurry, his condition was getting worse and worse, his body was not improving, and it was really uncomfortable to see the land he had worked so hard to manage for so many years being invaded by other countries, and he couldn't do anything.
had to bow his head to Mu Youchen, if no one interfered in this matter, then before he took his breath, he would be able to see that Xia Guo was subservient to Fan Ning Qingge, or worse.
Mu Yilin sat on the edge of Mu Yunfan's bed, stirring the freshly boiled decoction with a spoon, his eyes flashing, and his lips pursed.
Mu Yunfan's eyes narrowed slightly, yawned, pretended to be sleepy, and took in Mu Yilin's expression.
Mu Yilin helped Mu Yunfan sit up, leaned the quilt behind Mu Yunfan, fed the medicine spoonful by spoonful, and carefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, it seemed that he was used to doing such things, and all the actions were done in one go.
Mu Yilin looked embarrassed, and stopped talking, but he still spoke:
"Father, the people kneel at the gate of the palace day by day and don't get up, one after another, if the father ignores it, if it goes on like this, it will lose the hearts of the people!
This time it is true that the imperial brother has gone too far, no matter how you say it, you can't beat the people, several people are still lying in bed and can't get up.
Coupled with the matter of the imperial sister-in-law, it has caused a lot of complaints, it is really..."
Mu Yilin's lie was not red and his heart was not beating, what Mu Youchen left for those people was just some skin trauma, and it was not good for a month, which was too exaggerated.
Mu Yunfan's expression sank, and he sighed: "Yes, I don't know how to deal with this matter, what good way can Yilin share my worries?"
Yi Lin can't say it well, but it's not impossible, but I'm afraid that the emperor's brother will blame him, and my father won't approve of it. Mu Yilin looked at Mu Yunfan cautiously, with a sincere expression.
"It's okay, you might as well speak it and listen to it!"
Mu Yunfan waved his hand casually, he wanted to see what Mu Yilin was thinking, when he was seriously ill, he was dizzy, and he wanted to be manipulated?
Mu Yilin's eyes lit up, and he said eloquently: "It's better to... First of all, temporarily abolish the crown prince of the imperial brother, so as to calm the people's grievances, and also suppress the fact that the imperial sister-in-law came into the world as a demon star.
The imperial brother is no longer the crown prince, and the imperial sister-in-law is not entangled with the true dragon star, and the Xia Kingdom will not exist within a hundred years. ”
"Well, that's a good idea, I'll think about it, so you can get out of the way. ”
Mu Yunfan nodded perfunctorily, and there was no trace of abnormality on his face.
As soon as Mu Yilin left, Mu Youchen walked out from behind the screen with Mu Qianxun and a mocking smile.
Sure enough, they guessed correctly, it was really Mu Yilin's doing, so they couldn't hold it back so quickly, and directly asked Mu Yunfan for his life.
As soon as they arrived, they heard footsteps outside, so they had to hide first, but they didn't expect to watch such a good show.
Mu Yunfan stared at the hands that the two were holding tightly, suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and snorted coldly.
Mu Youchen glanced at Mu Yunfan with disdain, pulled a chair and sat down, wrapped Mu Qianxun in his arms, and said casually:
"What are you doing when you invite us over more than 20 times a day? Who do you want this time? Or is there a new crime?
If you want to abolish my crown prince, needless to say, I will automatically give way, so you don't have to bother!"
Mu Youchen's mouth has always been so poisonous, he has never shown mercy to people and things he doesn't like, and since Mu Yunfan has a request for them, he shouldn't be merciful.
Mu Yunfan was speechless, "People are under the roof, they have to bow their heads", Mu Youchen has no conscience, if he is not convinced, he may really watch the Xia Kingdom perish, and he will sit idly by.
"You Chen, Chihiro's matter, even if I am wrong, I shouldn't listen to rumors.
Since the war, I have been sick in bed, unable to take care of the government, and you must also take care of the overall situation. ”
Mu Yunfan's tone softened, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes was dispersed.
"Counting, you almost killed Xun'er, how can you wipe it out with a single sentence!
I never knew what it meant to take care of the overall situation, I only knew that I couldn't even protect my beloved, let alone achieve great things!
What will I do when Xia Guo is dead? I can still take Xun'er away from home, and I don't have to worry about finding a place to stay!"
Mu Youchen couldn't help but be angry and roared. He must seek justice for Mu Qianxun, Mu Yunfan's words are really unpleasant.
