Qing Ling lost consciousness at the sound of his piano, and when he woke up again, it was already morning light.

The beast lay at her feet, its head raised with its large, golden-brown eyes, and let out a few low, sad whimpering.

Qing Ling looked at the place where Luo Heng was sitting last night, but when he saw that the moss was faint and the flowers were falling, it had already been sent away by the wind, and there was no trace left.

She propped herself up and slowly stood up.

A ray of golden rays of the morning sun, slanted from the tops of the surrounding peaks, is mixed with refreshing warmth.

Qingling was bathed in the sun, but the person was still very cold.

The two figures, one blue and one purple, appeared repeatedly in last night's dream, as if she had had an extremely gentle interaction, and even the moment she opened her eyes, she no longer felt too sad and painful. However, at this moment, the consciousness was sober, and a heart sank again, cold to the bone.

She picked up the bag containing the seal on the ground, bent down and touched the head of the fox, looked at it for a moment, and then quickly turned over.

According to Qing Ling's physical strength at this time, it was not easy to control a divine beast like Fox. But the fox was very cooperative, and after treading the wind and circling in mid-air, he obediently flew in the direction of Zhangyao Palace.

The former Zhangyao Palace is gone.

Above the ruins, Chao Yan and Jiuqiu's army were tense, and they confronted each other solemnly at a distance.

The generals and courtiers of Jiuqiu in front of the battle were vigilantly observing each other's movements, and they were discussing a lot, and they couldn't make up their minds about what to do next.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed man raised his hand and pointed to the air, and said in a loud voice: "The mount of the national teacher!" The national teacher is back! ”

The people of the Jiuqiu Tribe, who had lost their backbone, were excited when they heard this, and they all raised their heads and stretched their necks to look up.

Chaoyan's side was also alert, and Chun Yuyan, who led the troops, quietly made a gesture and signaled the crossbowmen to pull the strings and prepare for battle.

The fox landed slowly.

The man sitting upright on the back of the beast was pale and sad, his gaze fixed on the rubble of the ruins, as if he were indifferent to everything else around him.

Chun Yuyan was very excited, and shouted: "Qingling! ”

Then he turned his head sideways and ordered his followers, "Quickly go to the Windy City to stop His Majesty's imperial decree!" Let's just say that the emperor is safe and sound, and even though the guards and maids are not effective, they will not die for their crimes! Let them stay where they are, and I will ask for His Majesty's pardon as soon as possible. ”

Qing Ling rolled over and jumped down, falling into the rubble and ashes.

Half-kneeling, she reached out and touched a ring of red, blackened scorched earth in the center of the ruins.

The Demon Dou used the enchantment as a tool to envelop the entire palace, swallowing everything in between, leaving only this circle of scorched earth as the only trace left. The debris piled up everywhere came from several palace gates on the periphery of the palace. It seems that they were all crushed by the huge force when the demon fight disappeared.

Really, are they all gone?

Really, are they all gone?

Qing Ling fell to the ground, his palm rubbing vigorously between the scorched earth, the wound on his fingernails ruptured again, and the dripping blood quickly mixed into the scorched earth.

Chun Yuyan was shocked, and rushed forward to help Qing Ling up, "What are you doing here?" He quickly checked her body, "Is there any injury?" ”

Chi Wangqi led the courtiers and generals of Jiuqiu to also rushed over, and the split was a series of questions:

"What the hell is going on?"

"Where's the national teacher?"

"What about Your Majesty?"

"Who did it?"

With Yan's support, Qing Ling slowly raised his head, and his eyes slowly roamed around in front of everyone.

After a long time, he cleared his hoarse throat and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty and the national teacher are gone." The magic fight was set up by Fang Shanlei and Mu Han. ”

Although everyone had prepared for the worst, when they heard that Qing Ling personally confirmed the death of Luo Jia and Luo Heng, they couldn't help but gasp, and then some people cried out in grief, and some people began to scold.

Chi Wangqi pointed at Qing Ling and said angrily, "Isn't it you?" Was it your machinations from the beginning? What do you say about peace and reciprocity, in fact, it is to deceive Jiuqiu's trust, coax us to open the border, and let our people be slaughtered by you! ”

He raised his head and raised his hands, as if extremely sad, "Your Majesty! The minister has long said that the Chaoyan royal family is not credible, not credible! ”

The surrounding courtiers were infected by Chi Wangqi, and they also turned their spearheads, scolded Qing Ling, and even despised and humiliated Luo Yao in anger, saying that he was confused by beauty, unbearable to take on the task, and extremely stupid......

Chun Yuyan helped Qingling, only to feel that her whole person was weak and trembling, so she shouted to stop the ministers of Jiuqiu: "This matter was done by Chaoyan's traitors, and it has nothing to do with Emperor Ji!" Now that His Majesty Jiuqiu has passed away, instead of talking here as fast as you want, you should think about how to cooperate with Chaoyan next, investigate the traitors who sneaked into Jiuqiu as soon as possible, and avenge your Majesty! ”

Chi Wangqi blew his beard, "Bah! Who is going to work with you? Who knows if those people are your trap! What kind of Mu Han is that, isn't it the Chaoyan royal family? Pointing to Qingling, "Isn't it her own brother?" ”

Chun Yuyan had never understood the rudeness of the Jiuqiu officials, but he also understood that it would be in vain to reason at this time, so he ordered the accompanying generals to control the scene, and he hurriedly took Qingling to see Mu Chen.

Mu Chen rushed from Lingxiao City overnight, and stayed in a makeshift imperial tent near Zhangyao at this time.

The forbidden army outside the tent was strictly guarded layer by layer, and in the open space enclosed, there were more than a dozen generals of the Daze garrison, all of whom had seen Qingling appear in the south. Among them, several of the Otawa prince's personal entourage and confidants had also seen the emperor use the Qingyun Sword to split the pool barrier and enter the secret passage leading to the Zhangyao Palace.

From last night to now, these generals and their entourage have repeated to His Majesty over and over again what they have seen and heard, but they never seem to satisfy him.

Then one after another, the edicts began to flow out of the tent.

Without exception, it is all the intention to kill people's lives.

Even Wei Yuan, the commander of the forbidden army in Daze at this moment, was not spared......

All the people who were lying in front of the tent secretly sweated, lest the next will come out, and they wanted their own lives.

Chun Yuyan understood Mu Chen's mood at this moment better than everyone else.

So he couldn't avoid suspicion, so he directly hugged Qingling and got off the chariot, and strode into the royal tent.

The atmosphere in the tent was cold and silent, and Mu Chen sat alone behind the desk, staring at the demon fight that Yan found in the ruins, and was silent.

Hearing the sound, he slowly raised his head, his face was pale, his expression was cold, and his dark eyes were dark and bottomless.

"Your Majesty! Qingling Emperor Ji has been found! ”

Mu Chen seemed to be stunned for a moment, his fists on the desk suddenly loosened, and his wrists trembled slightly.

Chun Yuyan put Qing Ling on a soft couch next to him, hurriedly ordered someone to invite the doctor who accompanied the army, and then turned to Mu Chen and said, "It's not like I've been too seriously injured, but I've been in a bad mood." ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "The heroine of Jiuqiu and the national teacher have both died. ”

Mu Chen didn't see much emotion on his face, got up and sat down beside Qing Ling, and reached out to hold her wrist.

Qing Ling saw the ruins in person, his heart was in despair and severe pain, and the composure that he had finally stretched out collapsed again, and when he saw Mu Chen at this time, he couldn't say anything, "The entire palace is ruined...... Luo Heng saved me, but he also died......"

Mu Chen probed her internal breath, raised his hand to caress her forehead, lowered his head and comforted her softly over and over again: "It's over, it's all over, you have a good rest, everything has me." ”

Qing Ling's voice whimpered.

“…… They are all dead, and Xiao Qi is also dead...... Really dead...... He's dead! ”

Speaking of this, her voice suddenly rose up, and she screamed almost frantically, followed by a mouthful of blood, wow, spurting onto Mu Chen's body.

Everyone in the tent was shocked.

The military doctor who had just been hurriedly pulled by the guards didn't dare to step forward when he saw this, and was urged by Chun Yuyan several times before he stepped forward and knelt down tremblingly, carefully touching Qing Ling's wrist.

Mu Chen hugged Qing Ling, wiping the blood on her chin while coaxing her softly, trying to calm her down.

The military doctor diagnosed for a moment and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the emperor's pulse is disordered, as if she has been greatly impacted by divine power. I thought it was ...... Now...... At this time, it is advisable to recuperate. ”

He was originally a medical officer who fought with the army, and he was very handy at dealing with external injuries or something, but he was a little afraid to speak about the complex symptoms in Qingling's body. After thinking about it, I still chose the most conservative treatment plan.

Mu Chen didn't have much expectation from the medical officer in the army, and when he heard this, he only coldly instructed him: "You take care of the wound on the emperor's hand, and then send some calming medicine." ”

immediately confessed to his entourage: "Prepare to drive back to the palace!" ”

And all the men in the tent received the command, and each of them withdrew and prepared.

The medical officer took the medicinal dew and stepped forward to bandage Qingling's fingers, Rao is he took out 100,000 points of caution, and every time he removed a broken nail, it was still involved in the flesh and blood of his fingertips.

Mu Chen held Qing Ling's hand and personally helped with the medicine.

The military doctor is accustomed to seeing bloody wounds on weekdays, and the wounds on the emperor's fingers seem to be horrifying, but in fact they are not life-threatening, but occasionally his eyes wander and touch His Majesty's dark and cold gaze, which still makes him tremble.

It was Emperor Ji herself, silent and quiet, as if she didn't feel any pain at all.

After a while, the military doctor heard Mu Chen ask softly, "How can you be injured like this?" ”

Qing Ling used the medicine, and the person was already a lot quieter, and Yu Yu said: "First I cut off my nails, and then I played the piano for a while. ”

Mu Chen was stunned when he heard this, but he stopped speaking.

The calming potion quickly took effect, and Qing Ling fell into a deep sleep.

Mu Chen stared down at her, his fingertips gently rubbed her forehead, and after a while, he slowly stood up.

Chun Yuyan had been guarding the tent, and seeing that Mu Chen's face was a little pale, he stepped forward and said, "Since Qingling is safe and sound, can the previous punishments be suspended?" After all, Wei Yuan and Qiu Zhi have followed His Majesty for many years......"

"It's because I've been following me for so many years that I know what I value most."

Mu Chen took the words lightly, sat down behind the case, took a pen and wrote a few imperial decrees, and handed them to Chun Yuyan, "You deal with the affairs in the army, and then go to Daze in person." ”

His cold and sharp gaze stared at Yan for a moment, "The current situation is tricky, don't make a judgment easily because it involves Baili Ningyan." In private, you can't comfort her too much, but in terms of major decisions, everything needs to be based on Chaoyan's interests. ”

Ning Yan suddenly lost his parents and brother, and sadness was inevitable. But for those in power, what needs more attention is that she has now become the heir of Daze and Jiuqiu......

Chun Yuyan put away the imperial decree and nodded with a complicated expression, "The minister understands." ”

After a pause, he asked again, "What about the people who confronted us in Jiuqiu?" ”

Mu Chen was looking sideways at Qing Ling on the soft couch, and saw that she was sleeping calmly and breathing steadily, but a tear appeared in the corner of her eye.

"Give them another hour. After an hour, if the army is not withdrawn, it will be killed. ”
