Chapter 130: Brothers Kill Each Other
Qin Nan said: "Yuexi is only unified on the surface, but in fact, there are many large and small rebellions, and the spies have reported that another army is gathering in the past two days, and it is menacing, I am afraid that this battle will not be easy to fight." β
I hurriedly asked, "Do you know who is coming?" β
Qin Nan shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet, but this person is very powerful, and he has already persuaded many clan leaders, including the old department of the four great kings." β
At this moment, a soldier came to report, "General, the king urgently summons you back to the palace to discuss the military!" β
Qinnan looked at me, and I said, "I'll go back with you." He nodded and led me back to the palace in Whitewater City.
I heard Qin Nan talk about Chu Jinmo's changes just now, and when I saw him again, an indescribable feeling rose in my heart. Maybe it's guilt, maybe it's sympathy, it's more of a sense of helplessness about fate. It's just that if you didn't say it at the time, don't mention it again in the future, if you miss that second, it's out of time.
What I didn't expect was that Doris was in the palace, and when she saw me, she exclaimed, "Master! I've finally found you! β
I exclaimed, "Why are you here?" β
Doris said: "After you were captured, I set out to find you, and I heard that you were captured in Whitewater City, so I came by myself!" β
Chu Jinmo said: "Mulan, Doris is really loyal to you. β
I took Doris's hand and nodded, and he said to Qin Nan: "General Qin, this rebel army is said to have 30,000 people, and it has been assembled in Qi'er Lake, which is not small!" β
Qin Nan said: "The king, the minister is willing to lead the troops to quell the chaos!" β
Chu Jinmo sneered, "It's just a rabble, now you still stay in Baishui City, and I will send someone else to quell the chaos." β
I was silent and didn't speak, and then Chu Jinmo turned to me, "Mulan, who do you say should be sent?" β
His gaze became extremely gentle, and I felt suffocated in my heart, and I felt that the past could not be traced. Before he could answer, suddenly the palace people came to report that someone outside the city tower had sent a letter.
Chu Jinmo asked, "Who sent the letter?" β
The palace man shook his head, "I don't know who it is, the letter was tied to an arrow and shot into Whitewater City." β
Chu Jinmo opened the letter and his expression changed. Seeing that his expression was different, I asked softly, "What is written in the letter?" β
Chu Jinmo's face was cloudy, and he handed me the letter, and I opened it to take a look, and there were only a few lines on it, "The usurper abdicates to spare you from dying, otherwise the army will set foot on Baishui City!" β
I wondered, "This letter?" β
Chu Jinmo nodded, "It's Chu Anguo." β
"Is it him?" I frowned.
At the beginning, the Empress Dowager Yaotian favored her youngest son Chu Anguo and supported Chu Anguo to inherit the throne. Chu Jinmo went away from the Xiongnu, threw himself into the account of Zuoxian King Wuwei, borrowed troops from the Xiongnu, and broke through Baishui City. The Empress Dowager Yaotian fell seriously ill and died, and Chu Anguo fled without a trace. Unexpectedly, not only did he not die, but he also picked up the annexed tribes in Yuexi to attack Baishui City.
I looked at Chu Jinmo and asked, "What are your plans?" β
Chu Jinmo sighed and said: "An Guo is my own brother, and when he fought for the throne, he caused his brothers to kill each other, and I don't want history to repeat itself." β
I said softly: "Jinmo, others say that you have changed, but in my opinion, you are still as affectionate and righteous as before. β
Chu Jinmo looked at me, his dark eyes rippled like an ancient well, and he said excitedly: "Mulan, if there are ups and downs along the way, if life has been going round and round, as long as you are still there in the end." β
I turned my face to the side, only to find that Qin Nan didn't know when he had quietly retreated, I sighed and said: "Chu Anguo knows the situation in Baishui City well, and has gathered 30,000 troops, you have to be careful in this battle!" β
After saying that, he didn't look at him anymore and walked straight away. As I turned around, I felt two hot eyes behind me.
This time entering the Illusion Void, it seems that it is not smooth, the last time we entered the time did not exceed an hour, but now it has been several hours, the sun is about to set, Huo Quzhi and Zhao Bingyu have not come out yet.
I started to worry about getting anxious, walking around the house, could something go wrong? Huo Quzhi is exactly twenty-four years old this year, which is the age at which his death is recorded in history, is it...
No, it won't! I comforted myself, Zhao Bingyu's swordsmanship is so powerful, if one person can handle a reinforced platoon, she will definitely protect Huo Quai. The more cranky I was, the more anxious I became, but I sat there for a night, and neither Huo Quzhi nor Zhao Bingyu came back.
In the morning, I ran to Chu Jinmo with red eyes and told him that Huo Qu had not come back yet. Chu Jinmo said: "I have already sent someone out to look for them yesterday, and I haven't found them yet." Don't worry, they're not ordinary people, and they should be fine. β
Qin Nan went up to the hall and said, "King, the enemy army is already lined up thirty miles away from Baishui City!" β
Chu Jinmo frowned and said, "It's so fast!" General Qin, you are stationed in Whitewater City, and I will go to this battle in person! β
Qin Nan already knew that the other party was Chu Anguo, and hesitated: "Can the king think twice?" β
Chu Jinmo waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, our brothers will meet sooner or later!" β
He turned his gaze to me and said, "Mulan, don't leave in Whitewater City. After a pause, he said, "Huo Quai's illness may come back soon." β
The current one went to some kind of ghost void fantasy realm, and my predecessor is going to the battlefield again, but I can only wait in place. I felt helpless at the moment, so I had to say: "I'm here, I won't go away, you be careful." β
Chu Jinmo smiled faintly, and his ancient well-like eyes rippled in an instant, "You have to wait for me to come back." His eyes were clear, and the lines of his face were even more solemn. His eyes were unusually cold. He took a few steps back and finally turned away, and I stood still, watching him go.
He left casually, as if he was just going out for a walk and coming back soon, but I saw his clenched fists. A tear slowly fell from the corner of my eye, crystal clear and silent. The blur in my eyes grew and he drifted farther and farther away from me, the blur was so clear that a deep stinging pain inadvertently hit my heart.
If I had known later that it would be the last time I would see him in my life, I would have seen him clearly, engraved it in my heart, and never forgotten it.
I never knew that the parting of life and death was only a matter of a moment, and the people who were still talking together at the last moment might just turn around, go up and down the yellow spring, and the two places were gone. His smile will be forever remembered.
I have seen the cruelty of war, I have seen bloody killings, I have seen the devastation. I was lucky, because I followed Huo Quai, the god of war who had never been defeated in his life, and I never knew what a defeated war was like.
I know that after several major wars, Whitewater City is very empty of money and food, and although it has pacified the Quartet, it has continued to rebel and has not yet recovered. In this war, Chu Jinmo was defeated, which I didn't expect.
Because the soldiers of Baishui City are no longer united, all they want is food and clothing, and their fighting spirit has long been worn out by the days of hunger and cold. This war was tantamount to defeat without a fight, and Chu Anguo's 30,000 army easily defeated Chu Jinmo's 40,000 army.
On the seventh day, Huo Qu did not come back, but Chu Jinmo came back. He was carried back to Whitewater, while his army fled, scattered, surrendered, and died in battle.
"Master, no... Masterβ" Doris called anxiously outside the door, and all my thoughts were disrupted.
As the footsteps approached, I got up from the dressing table in confusion, and only then did I look back to see the door of the dormitory being pushed open heavily. The cold wind of the winter snow outside hit my face, blowing up my uncombed hair and tangling it together.
The person who came was Qin Nan, his face was very solemn, and there was a struggle in his eyes, "Mulan", hearing him call my name, my heart suddenly slammed, and my heart beat hard.
"The king, he... went. β
This sentence was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and I looked at Qinnan in a daze, and the red tents all over the dormitory turned into scarlet blood in front of my eyes, splashing all over the ground. His legs went limp, and he sat back on the cold seat.
The palace door was closed, leaving me alone to sit on the side of my makeup, staring in the mirror, there was no trace of tears in my shining eyes, just a light chuckle. In a trance, he asked what came to his mind.
I immediately got up and pushed open the vermilion window, and the snow drifted into the window like goose feathers, pouring on my body and face. With a faint smile, I took a few snowflakes, but what came to my ears was what Qinnan had said to me.
"The king had no intention of hurting Chu Anguo, but when this battle was supposed to be a victory, he hesitated many times."
"Chu Anguo took the opportunity to lead the army to rush and kill, the king was defeated, and at this time there was a mutiny in the army, and as soon as the soldiers in front retreated, all the soldiers behind retreated."
"Whitewater City can't be defended anymore, please leave as soon as possible, I will lead the last soldier to defend Whitewater City, and I will live up to the king's trust."
Outside the plug, the smoke is lonely, and the sky is full of frost and snow.
I looked up at the white snow that covered the entire sky.
Back then, it was Chu Jinmo who brought me to Yuexi, and now who will take me out of Yuexi, and who will accompany me to complete this road that I tried my best but couldn't finish?
Back then, I left because of Chu Jinmo's betrayal, and refused because I couldn't let go of Huo Quai. But after three years of walking, I still stayed where I was, in the court of Whitewater.
