Chapter 116: War
The two groups of men were at a stalemate.
Without Gu Zhixing's order, no one in the Western Sage Army dared to make a move.
Beiyuan's men and horses knew that they couldn't beat them, and they were afraid that Su Mian would be injured by accident for a while, so they also stalemate.
Su Mian stood in place, her fists clenched tightly, and she couldn't wait to kill Gu Zhi directly to avenge Su Yu right away.
But at the bottom of my heart, I was always uncomfortable, just seeing Gu Zhixing's face had overwhelming memories coming back to me.
Knowing that she must not be able to calm down now, Gu Zhixing took the lead and took a step back.
"Take your three princesses back, and report today's events to Emperor Beiyuan." Leaving a word, Gu Zhixing finally glanced at Su Mian deeply, and walked towards the bottom of the mountain without looking back.
He knew that there were too many strange things about this matter, but now was not a good time to speak, and he couldn't favor Beiyuan in front of the Western Sage.
The most important thing at the moment is to stabilize the morale of the military.
Aman doesn't like war.
Then I'll do my best to find out what's going on.
Su Mian stood in place until her legs and feet stiffened, and she didn't move at all.
"Three Princesses...... Jie Wai ...... "Lord Zhao stepped forward: "Xiaguan will take the third princess and ...... The six princes returned to the palace and left everything to the emperor. ”
Su Mian blinked, tears sliding from the corners of her eyes like beads with broken threads.
After a long time, he said softly: "Find a better carriage, Xiao Yu doesn't like to be too bumpy......"
"Yes, the lower official will send someone to do it!" Lord Zhao hurriedly responded.
After a long time, several people carefully put Su Yu into the carriage.
"Third princess, ...... you" Lord Zhao hesitated and stopped Su Mian, who wanted to follow into the car.
"It's okay, I guess...... Talk to Xiao Yu for a while, the way back to the palace is a little far, he is so noisy, he will be bored alone......" Su Mian said softly, ignoring Lord Zhao's obstruction and turned into the carriage.
Knowing that their sister and brother had always had a good relationship, Lord Zhao had to sigh and let Su Mian get into the carriage.
Su Mian sat beside Su Yu, holding his hand full of scars, not feeling afraid at all, just feeling distressed.
"Xiao Yu...... It's my sister I'm sorry for you......" Staying in the carriage, Su Mian finally didn't have to endure it anymore, and cried out silently.
If time could be turned back, she would never agree to let Su Yu deliver this letter for her.
Why?
Why do the people closest to me, whether in the past life or now, leave me?
originally thought that this younger brother, who died in his previous life, had the same name and even the same appearance, was a gift from God to compensate him.
But now, she's lost him again.
And the culprit of all this, Su Mian himself also has a share.
No matter how much you regret it, the people in front of you will not be as lively as before to coax themselves to be happy, nor will they ask themselves for delicious food......
Even if Gu Zhixing really avenged the dead General Lu, why did he have to pick Su Yu?
Why can't you just come at yourself!
Inexplicably, I thought of Lu Zhe's eyes when General Lu passed away, and Su Mian's heart suddenly cooled.
She suddenly didn't know who she was going to hate.
Do you hate Gu Zhixing?
Hate yourself?
It is true that General Lu's things are not done by himself, but Huo Mian is something he made.
And when that happened, I stayed in the palace.
There is no evidence to prove that the sponges were buried by themselves.
But today......
Today, I saw Gu Zhixing standing in front of that room with my own eyes.
The wounds on Xiao Yu's face and neck all came from the sword at his waist.
How can I trust him if I have no evidence?
Closing her eyes, Su Mian felt tired like she had never felt before.
If......
It's good that I've never known Gu Zhixing.
Wouldn't that be happening?
He is still the Su Mian who doesn't have to think about anything......
Su Mian's eyes were red, and he carefully hung the jade pendant he had taken from Chai Fu on Su Yu's waist again.
"Well, Sister Yupei found it for you, don't lose it next time......" Su Mian said in a trembling voice, not knowing how to face it after going back.
The father is still waiting in the palace, if he sees Xiao Yu...... Bashan loves
Su Mian closed her eyes, and her heart was flustered like never before.
When she finally returned to the palace, she was already a little exhausted and couldn't support it.
A few days ago, she fell ill because of General Lu's affairs, and now she has lost her most important brother, and she has already become a mess.
"Third princess, the emperor is waiting for you and the six princes in the study." As soon as he entered the palace, Gonggong Zhang had already been waiting at the gate of the palace, and he thought that Su Mian had already found Su Yu back.
On the way back from Su Mian, Su Mian did not let people report directly, but wanted to come back and tell Emperor Beiyuan in person.
"Father-in-law Zhang......" Su Mian's expression was gloomy: "Xiao Yu, he ...... Something happened, I ...... I have something to say to my father, so please ...... This makes people prepare for the future......"
"What? The sixth prince ...... "Gonggong Zhang almost didn't stand firm, and looked at the carriage behind Su Mian in surprise, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
After a long time, he trembled and stretched out his hand towards Su Mian's carriage later.
I only lifted the curtain and looked at it, and my whole body began to tremble.
"Third princess, how can the sixth prince ......" Father-in-law Zhang watched Su Yu grow up since he was a child, and his eyes were already red at this time.
"It's a long and tiring thing...... Gonggong Zhang paused Xiaoyu, I will go to see my father......" Su Mian tried her best to maintain her calm, although her heart had already become a pot of porridge.
Su Yu's matter came too suddenly, except for Gonggong Zhang and Su Mian's entourage, no one knew about it.
All the way to the imperial study, it was already dark.
Su Mian stood at the door, looking at the light inside, a little timid.
She was not afraid of her father's punishment, but she didn't know how to face it.
Taking a deep breath, Su Jin adjusted the expression on his face before he raised his feet and walked over.
Emperor Beiyuan had already waved away all the servants in the imperial study, leaving only two attendants who held the lamp.
"Father." Su Mian pushed open the door and walked in, and knelt down directly in front of Emperor Beiyuan.
Emperor Beiyuan has always favored Su Mian and Su Yu, and he didn't even say a word of seriousness.
But today's incident really made him angry, and he decided to reprimand the two of them well.
Reviewing the folds in front of him, he said without raising his head: "You two still know to come back?" Do you know that I am your father? ”
Su Mian knelt on the ground, tears like a flood that had opened the floodgates.
Hearing her sobbing, Emperor Beiyuan hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw her kneeling there crying alone, he hurriedly stood up in distress, walked over quickly, and helped her up from the ground.
"Father just said two words to you, why are you still crying? Ay...... What about Xiao Yu? Why are you the only one here? That stinky boy! Dare to sneak out of the palace and not come back, this time you can't spare him easily! ”
Su Mian cried louder when she heard this, and knelt directly on the ground again, and said breathlessly: "Father...... It's not good for Mian'er, Xiao Yu...... Xiao Yu ......"
An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Emperor Beiyuan's heart, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Is Xiao Yu in trouble again?" ”
"Xiao Yu ......" Su Mian raised his hand to wipe a handful of tears, then looked at Emperor Beiyuan, and said word by word: "Please...... Father's Day Mourning...... Xiao Yu ......"
Before the words fell, Su Mian saw the figure of the Northern Yuan Emperor in front of him flicker, and he fell heavily on the chair beside him.
"Mian'er, Xiao Yu...... How could he ......" Emperor Beiyuan's hands trembled a little, although he didn't want to believe it, he also knew that Su Mian would not joke with himself about this kind of thing.
"I ...... When I found Xiao Yu, he ...... has been disfigured, and the cause of death is a sword wound in the marquis...... By...... Thrown into the flames...... ...... when I arrived."
Su Mian said word by word, and every time she said a word, she felt like a knife: "When the time comes...... With Xiao Yu is...... Look at...... Zhi Xing ......"
"Gu Zhixing??" Emperor Beiyuan's eyes widened violently, and he stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the table: "It's just for a general of the Western Sage, so you want my prince of the Northern Yuan to accompany you to the funeral?" ”
"At the beginning...... Their people said they wanted to investigate the attack, but now they can't wait...... Convenient...... Take my Yu'er and ......"
Emperor Beiyuan's always kind face rarely showed an angry look: "What a ruthless regent!" ”
Su Mian cried until she was a little dizzy, and she felt unable to breathe when she thought of the look that Gu Zhixing looked at her before she left today.
Things happened one after another, and she didn't know who to trust anymore.
"Father...... It's me...... I shouldn't have promised Xiao Yu to let him go out of the palace...... It's all my ......" Su Mian blamed all the blame on herself, looking extremely haggard.
Despite the loss of his beloved son, Emperor Beiyuan also took care of Su Mian.
Thinking that she had a serious illness just a few days ago because of the fire that appeared inexplicably at the border, she endured her grief and helped the person up from the ground, and took her into her arms in distress.
"Mian'er...... It's not your fault......" Emperor Beiyuan seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.
"My father knew that Mian'er was a good boy, and he didn't want to see the scene of the war, but this battle was ...... Whatever it is, it's inevitable to think about it. ”
"Whoever harmed Yu'er, my father will not let it go." He stroked Su Mian's long hair, and his tone was heavier than ever.
Su Mian nestled silently in the arms of Emperor Beiyuan, letting tears run across his face, and didn't say a word.
She needs to know the truth and also wants to avenge Su Yu.
"What about Yu'er? I want to see him......" Emperor Beiyuan's voice was a little choked.
"Already...... Leave it to Grandpa Zhang to take care of ......," Su Mian replied with a sob.
"Well, Mian'er should go back to the dormitory first, father...... Go and see ......" Emperor Beiyuan said as he let go of Su Mian and turned around and walked towards the outside of the imperial study.
Su Mian stared at his back, and his eyes blurred again.
The war is about to begin.
