Chapter 57: Confessing the Lord
Ruoxi nodded, she naturally knew, if it weren't for that, how could Ruoxi secretly order the long wind, and not a single living mouth would be left.
"Blood to the people I once loved. However, in order to complete the task, he actually sent me to another man's bed. In fact, my encounter with Moze was a conspiracy. "Lu Wan, these spies, have been brutally trained since childhood, and those who can survive can come to Liguo. They grew up together, trained together, helped each other out of the pile of dead, and spent those dark days together. She thought they could go on like this.
But when I came to Liguo, everything changed.
They were looking for an opportunity to get close to Ling Ruoxi. When he looked at Lu Wan, Lu Wan couldn't forget the indifference in those eyes for the rest of his life. It's not like looking at a person, it's looking at a tool, a useful tool.
"The general still remembers that in the battle of Guanyin Temple in Yuzhou, Mo Ze suddenly lost all his internal strength, which was actually because when he saved me under the horse the day before, he was contaminated with the medicinal powder on my body. Deliberately put him in trouble, then help, and then make him fall in love with me. I thought I was cold-blooded enough, but alas, I still overestimated myself. ”
Moze's love, thoughtfulness, and respect made her feel like a person rather than a useful tool for the first time. She even thought about giving up. What national righteousness, what power struggle, all have nothing to do with her, she just wants to be a little woman, and the man she loves, grinding her ears and temples, and staying with her for a lifetime.
"Regarding the new army, I replaced the poison with frost and grass, and the blood guessed that my position was shaken."
"So, he threatened you with Moze?" Ruoxi answered. It is not difficult to guess that since Lu Wan shook her position, she suddenly changed and gave Ruoxi a fatal blow, thinking that she was coerced.
"That's right, Blood Ming said, as long as I don't do what he says, my identity will be made public, and when the time comes, Mo Ze will not escape death."
"General." Lu Wan suddenly knelt down, "I don't want anything but the general to let Mo Ze go." ”
Looking at the woman who worshiped the ground, Ruoxi couldn't help but sigh, in the final analysis, it was a love word that hurt people.
He helped the man up with his own hands. "Nancang's spy in Liguo, there is not a single living mouth."
Lu Wan stared at Ruoxi with wide eyes, she vaguely guessed Ruoxi's intentions in her heart, but she didn't dare to admit it.
"As you think, except for me, no one in the territory of Liguo knows your identity. As for Moze, it might be a better choice to hide from him. "The pain of life and death, Ruoxi has already tasted it twice, since Lu Wan and Mo Ze are in love, what if she is not perfect?
Lu Wan bowed deeply to the ground, thank you again!
"General, there's one more thing. After the blood shadow noticed that I was shaken, he no longer let me contact Situ Ao. The connection between Situ Ao and Nancang is through the blood underworld. I have heard them mention the defense map by chance, and the general still has to plan ahead. Lu Wan was suspicious that Situ Ao had already handed over the defense map of Liguo to Nan Cang.
"Mo Ze, immediately go to the Heavenly Prison to interrogate Situ Ao, and ask if the deployment map of the military department has been sent out."
"Remember, the rest of the things will come later." Ruoxi thought about it, but still instructed, so as not to let Mo Ze think nonsense.
Lu Wan's information is very important. Ruoxi was not allowed to be seriously injured, so while ordering Mo Ze to go to the Criminal Department to re-interrogate Situ Ao, he stuffed a few grains into his mouth to relieve the pain and rushed to the palace. If Situ Ao really handed over the defense map to Nancang, then Liguo would be in danger.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates suggest that the border defense be adjusted immediately, just in case."
If what Xi said is correct, the matter of arming defense is a big matter, and there is no chance mentality. Nangong Chen immediately set about arranging. Ling Ruoxi, Nangong Shuihua and a group of generals discussed in the imperial study for a day and a night, and reformulated the defense matter. Fortunately, the arrest of Nancang's secret agent has been kept secret, and Ruoxi's movements are fast, I hope that the news has not reached Nancang at this moment, and it can leave them with an opportunity to adjust their defenses.
"Ruoxi, go back and rest early, you just got injured, and you worked hard, and your iron body can't hold on." Shui Hua had already seen that the gauze on Ruoxi's hand had already oozed blood, his face was pale, and the corners of his forehead were covered with dense beads of sweat, presumably the torture wounds on his body were not much better.
"I'm fine."
While the two were talking, they had already walked to Tianli Palace.
"Father-in-law Liu, I bother you to say goodbye, if you have something important to face the saint."
welcomed the two in, and in addition to Nangong Chen and Xiao Yin in the house, they were also there. Although Xiao Yin is protected by the emperor's side, he is usually hidden in the dark, how did he appear today. Shui Hua didn't know what medicine was sold in Ruoxi's gourd, so he turned around and asked, but saw Ruoxi kneeling respectfully.
"My subordinates have seen the Lord and the Dark Lord."
Shui Hua really didn't understand what Ruoxi meant. But if he said the next sentence, he was shocked.
"Lord, the subordinates have not yet recognized the Lord since they came out of the dark group."
Dark group? Ruoxi is a member of the dark group? What's going on? Shui Hua knew about the existence of the dark group, but he never thought that Ruoxi was actually a member of the dark group.
Ruoxi's meaning, Nangong Chen and Xiao Yin naturally understood. Xiao Yin used his gaze to explore Nangong Chen's meaning, and seeing that the latter had no objections, he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, Ling Ruoxi is the best secret guard since the establishment of the dark group. If you can see it, give her the cold moon. Since then, she has been your secret guard, an antidote every month, and she will not be betrayed for life. ”
The porcelain vase containing the cold moon was cold and cold in his hand. Shui Hua was still digesting Xiao Yin's words just now. Ruoxi is the Lord of the Night? No wonder, no wonder when he was fighting with King Cheng, Ruoxi was able to mobilize the secret guards to protect his own safety.
No, it's not. If Xi is of royal blood, how can he be recognized as the master.
"Uncle Huang!" Regardless of Ruoxi's thousands of instructions, Shui Hua now just wants to tell the emperor the truth, Ruoxi is his child, he is the blood of the royal family, and he should not bear this.
"Your Highness," Ruoxi's cold voice came from behind, interrupting Shui Hua's words, "The secret guard only recognizes one master in his life, and if His Highness refuses, his subordinates can only apologize for their crimes with death." ”
Ling Ruoxi was like this, without half emotion, calmly narrating, cutting off all his back roads.
Why is this happening, Shui Hua raised his head to Xiao Yin for verification, and the last bit of hope was also dashed in the latter's affirmative gaze.
"Why? Are you crazy? "Shui Hua understands that the imperial uncle and the dark lord appeared here at the same time, and today's play was originally arranged by Ruoxi." You're pushing yourself to a dead end. ”
Bloom was angry, very angry. Qi Ruoxi insisted on going his own way and making his own opinions, but he knew very well that Ruoxi did all this for him.
"Your Highness, don't forget the promise you made to Ruoxi." Shui Hua covered Ruoxi's body, so Ruoxi's lips were only seen by Shui Hua.
"Then I will answer you, you help me to ascend to the throne, and I will protect those you want to protect."
"May Your Highness be able to promise Liguo a peaceful mountain and river."
The words of the past are still in my ears.
Ling Ruoxi, Ling Ruoxi, you protect the world, who in this world can protect you?
The entire hall was silent, and everyone was silent, waiting for Shui Hua's choice.
I don't know how long it took, but I only know that the tea in Nangong Chen's hand was cold and poured, poured and cold
Finally, Shui Hua stood up with difficulty, trembling and handed Leng Yue to Ruoxi's hand. He knew Ruoxi, and he believed that if he refused to accept it, Ruoxi would kill himself without hesitation.
"Attend the Lord." He worshipped the earth and from then on, throughout his life, he guarded the Lord until he died.
The cold moon fell away.
Nangong Chen and Xiao Yin had already gone out, and above the main hall, only the soulless Shui Hua and the vomiting blood were left.
"Ruoxi, Ruoxi, antidote, take it quickly." Shui Hua, who finally came back to his senses, hurriedly poured out the antidote that Xiao Yin had just stuffed into his hand.
"Your Highness." The effect of Leng Yue's medicine was too domineering, and Ruoxi almost used up all her energy to barely maintain a trace of sobriety. "If Your Highness doesn't want me to die under the punishment of the secret group, it's better not to move." In order to deter the dark guard, the first time you take the medicine, you need a stick of incense before you can take the antidote. In order to make the secret guard remember this pain, with fear, he can not betray the master for life.
For the first time, Shui Hua felt helpless. At this moment, he may be able to understand Situ Shaoyun's mood. Watching his blood relatives suffer torture, but there is nothing he can do.
A stick of incense.
It wasn't until all the wounds on his body broke open and his ten fingers were cut alive that the torture was over. The smell of blood in the entire hall was disgusting. It is said that Father-in-law Liu took people to clean up for a full day before cleaning it up.
"Why are you in trouble?" Shui Hua only felt a deep sense of powerlessness. is obviously the most noble royal bloodline, but it has fallen into the lowest slave status.
"Your Highness, Ruoxi said that he would clear all obstacles for you, including Ruoxi himself." Shui Hua had too many emotions, he really didn't expect that Ling Yunsi would be so ruthless as to personally send Ruoxi into the dark group. But come to think of it, the mother and daughter are the same as if they were ruthless.
"If Your Highness is distressed, can you ask for a reward?"
Shui Hua waited for Ruoxi's next words.
"Transfer Mo Ze to the forbidden army and serve under Lu Jing." After Situ Ao's incident, Ruoxi took the fold, handed over the position of commander of the forbidden army, and recommended Lu Jing.
"Moze? Isn't he your guard? Why was it transferred to the Forbidden Army? Shui Hua always felt that something was not quite right with Ruoxi, and there was a faint intention to arrange the future.
Ruoxi calmly looked at Shang Shuihua's searching, "Your Highness, Mo Ze has been with me for so many years, and now that he has become a family, I always have to make more plans for him." ”
"Okay, I'll take care of that. You have a good rest. ”
Tortured continuously, followed by the aftermath, adjusted the defense, and just suffered from the poison of the cold moon, Ruoxi was really tired, and fell asleep after a while.
This was probably the last restful sleep that Ruoxi had won.
Because of Ruoxi's injury, dinner was very light.
During the day, Qingyue pressed him on the bed and ate two meals, and he had to get out of bed to eat whatever he said at dinner. It's not that I haven't suffered more serious injuries than this before, how could I have been so squeamish.
This dinner, Ruoxi couldn't eat it safely in the end.
"Report, His Royal Highness Qiyu, General, urgent report on the border, Nancang's army is pressing, General Li Wuxu was killed in battle, Yangcheng was lost, and the emperor urgently summoned you to the palace."
What the!? I was shocked.
In the prison before, Ruoxi had already instructed Qin Jingyuan to send a letter to the border, to be vigilant and pay close attention to Nancang's movements. After learning about the arming map from Lu Wan, he sent an urgent report to Yangcheng overnight, asking them to be vigilant and adjust the arming, but unexpectedly, they still let them get their hands on it.
"Lu Wan, persuade Mo Ze well." Before going out, Ruoxi pulled Lu Wan aside and whispered. Presumably, Mo Ze has already received an order, he hasn't seen him for a day today, and he hasn't shown up at dinner, so it's estimated that he is hiding somewhere. Anyway, with Lu Wan's persuasion, it is estimated that there will be no big mess.
"In addition, help me prepare some Yukui, don't let Chen'er and Master know." At the cholera border in Nancang, prepare the lukui early, and it may be used.
