Chapter 123: Hostages
Qian Yan bit his lip lightly, waiting anxiously, and suddenly, a bad premonition rose in his heart, this won't be a problem, right?
She was thinking like this, when suddenly several black shadows fell at the same time, and the guards around Qian Yan were subdued at the same time, she was startled, and before she could react, she saw a cold long sword across her neck.
The snowflakes fell on her eyelashes, some of them happened in an instant, she saw the face of the visitor clearly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was surprised: "You are Jiang Liu?"
Qi Guiren is really five points similar to her, it turns out that she is the person that His Majesty likes, Qian Yan looked at the woman in front of her with jealousy, wanting to know what happened between her and His Majesty, what is it that is willing to make her leave His Majesty? If His Majesty sees her again, will he not even want the world for her?
"I am. Mo Ziyu said lightly.
"Is this a trap you set, in order to lure me here?" Qian Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Did Qiu Ming betray me?"
"It's a good trap, but it's a good idea. Mo Ziyu smiled faintly, "Qiu Ming didn't betray you, he didn't tell me anything from beginning to end, but I knew your plan early, I originally planned to go up the mountain to find treasure earlier, but in order to wait for you, I delayed it for a few days! You didn't live up to my expectations, you really came here." ”
"You should know my identity, I am the ninth princess of Western Wei, the queen of Southern Chu, do you know the consequences of your doing this?" Qian Yan asked, "If you dare to touch me, neither Western Wei nor Southern Chu will let you go." ”
"If you weren't the queen of Nanchu, the ninth princess of Western Wei, I wouldn't be interested in you!" Mo Ziyu said lightly, "But since you are here, you can be regarded as doing me a great favor." ”
"What do you want to do?" asked Qian Yan's face as his face changed.
"You'll know when the time comes. ”
"One thing I don't understand, I clearly saw you enter the cave, why did you appear from other places?" Qian Yan frowned, "Could it be that it was a stand-in who entered the cave?"
"It's simple, because the cave is connected before and after. Mo Ziyu said, "After we entered, we just came out of the back mountain." ”
A few days ago, Mo Ziyu and the matchmaker have been studying the treasure map, in addition to clarifying the specific location, they also found the characteristics of the treasure place, so they set up this plan.
As for the people who enter the cave, I am afraid that there is no way to get out easily, because the people of the Killer Hall will be guarding the position of the front and rear cave entrances.
Mo Ziyu sighed slightly, and said to Situ Jiexing: "You take her down the mountain first, I want to meet Qiu Ming." ”
"What else is there to see about that traitor?" Situ Jiexing snorted, "Kill it!"
"Don't worry about it, you go down the mountain first, it's very dangerous when it's too late. Mo Ziyu advised, "Take care of her, I want to live!"
"Understood, I'm not going to let her die. Situ Jiexing said, "After your business is done, go down the mountain immediately to make up for the delay, it is too dangerous to go down the mountain this night." ”
"Hmm. ”
"Jiang Liu!" Qian Yan screamed, "What the hell do you want to do!" You let me go, otherwise I guarantee that your fate will be miserable." ”
Mo Ziyu smiled faintly: "As long as what I want to do can be successful, what if the end is miserable? You can rest assured, I won't hurt you, you are still of great use to me!"
Mo Ziyu came to the back of the cave, only to see Yun Hezi facing the people from the Killer Hall outside, and was questioning Qiu Ming sharply: "What's going on?"
Qiu Ming frowned: "I don't know what's going on." ”
"Are you conspiring with others to kill me?" Yun Hezi sneered, "Okay, you, now even the master dares to kill me?"
"I didn't!" Qiu Ming denied, "Master, I don't, I don't know all this. ”
"Nothing about him. Mo Ziyu stepped forward and said, "He really doesn't know all this. ”
With a hint of apology and a hint of relief, Qiu Ming looked at Mo Ziyu and asked, "You started to doubt me early in the morning?"
"I didn't even think to doubt you at first. Mo Ziyu said lightly, "It's just that you should know how well-informed the news of Qingguang Pavilion is, and I also know the news that Qian Yan is coming here from Qingguang Pavilion, so I have to plan it." Qiu Ming, I know that you have a deep relationship with your master, you make this choice, I have nothing to say, and I have no right to blame you for your betrayal, this time I will not do anything to you, but you may need to stay here for a while, and after I do what I want to do, you can leave here, and the friendship between us, I'm afraid it will end here, sorry. ”
"I'm sorry. Qiu Ming lowered his eyes and said, "I really wanted to protect you at the beginning, I didn't expect things to come to this point." ”
Mo Ziyu shook her head gently, then turned to leave, and the matchmaker followed behind her and asked, "Princess, Queen Nanchu and captured alive, what will you do next?"
"Naturally, he took her as a hostage and let Nanchu and Western Wei retreat. Mo Ziyu said lightly, "Go down the mountain and go to the battlefield where Southern Chu and Northern Xia are fighting." ”
"Yes. ”
Whether it was the combined forces of Southern Chu and Western Wei, or the army of Northern Xia, their attitudes towards this war were completely different.
For Southern Chu and Western Wei, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that Northern Xia was still on fire in the inner courtyard and the Northern Xia army was still insufficient, so the offensive was more fierce, and for Northern Xia, now was not a good time, they had to drag it out until the internal counterinsurgency action in Northern Xia was completely over, and the counterinsurgency army came to assemble completely, but they couldn't stretch the line too long, and military rations would be a problem.
Liu Xu led his troops out in person, and after taking the lead in ending a battle, he returned to the barracks wearing bloody armor and discussed the next action with the generals.
At this time, a letter was delivered to him, he looked at the handwriting on the envelope, flickered for a moment, and then immediately opened the envelope, opened the contents of the letter, glanced at it quickly, and his face immediately changed.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" the generals saw the change in Liu Xu's face, thinking that something had changed in the situation on the battlefield, and asked anxiously.
Liu Xu didn't reply immediately, was silent for a while, and said: "The battle situation here is under the full command of General Zhang, and I still have some things to deal with. ”
"Yes. ”
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was so important that His Majesty had left the battlefield.
At the same time, in Nan Chu's camp tent, Mi Zi, who was looking at the sand table, also received a letter, after reading the letter, his face also changed, and then pondered for a while, called all the generals in, and ordered the next deployment, and then prepared to leave the barracks.
"I still have some urgent business to attend to, and I'll leave it to you here. Qi Zi said, "You just can't keep it, and I won't come back in a few days." ”
"Yes. ”
A day later, in a small mountain villa thirty miles away from the battlefield, Mo Ziyu had already made tea and waited for the arrival of the two.
The two arrived outside the villa almost at the same time, and after seeing each other's figures, Gu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes showed disgust, but he greeted with a faint smile on his face.
"Isn't this the King of Chu?" Liu Xu took the reins of the horse and smiled coldly, "What are you doing here without the battlefield?"
Qi Zi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked rhetorically: "I should ask you this sentence, what are you doing here on the battlefield?"
"Naturally, there are old people who invite you. ”
"Me too. ”
At this time, the matchmaker opened the door, blessed the two of them, and said, "Come in, the princess has been waiting for the two of them for a long time." ”
The two entered at the same time, Mo Ziyu was dressed in white, got up and said with a light smile: "You guys are here! ”
Qi Zi didn't sit down immediately, and after taking a look at the surrounding environment, he asked, "What are you asking us to do here?"
"Clever!" Mo Ziyu looked at Qi Zi and praised, "Can Southern Chu and Western Wei withdraw their troops?" ”
"You should know that this opportunity, I have been waiting for a long time. Qi Zi said, "I want revenge, what did I do wrong? Also, you are now the princess of Mulan, why do you still want to help Northern Xia? Have you forgotten that Mulan was destroyed by water?"
"I don't want to delve into the past. Mo Ziyu said, "You want revenge, but the foundation of Southern Chu is not stable at all, even if you want to take advantage of the civil strife in Northern Xia to start a war, I am afraid that it will only make Nandi and Dog Rong profitable." Also, you have to withdraw your troops, there is no room for negotiation in this matter. ”
"Why do you think I'm going to retire for you?" asked Qi Zi with a sneer.
"Not for me to retreat, but for your queen. Mo Ziyu said, "Qian Yan is now in my hands, if you want her to live, you will retreat." ”
"What?" Qi Zi's brow furrowed, "She's in your hand?
Mo Ziyu waved his hand, only to see a door slowly open, and sitting inside was Qian Yan, who had been ordered to the acupoint.
Qi Zi's face became gloomy.
Mo Ziyu continued: "You can choose not to withdraw the army, but what about the Western Wei Dynasty, will it be the same as your choice? Even if the Western Wei Dynasty has to choose to continue to join forces, but the most favored Nine Princesses are abandoned by you, do they have no idea in their hearts? Is such an alliance still reliable? This is one of them, and I said that you are too anxious, that is, you have not completely solved the problem of the Southern Chu Hao clan, and in the past few months, all your energy has been focused on the war, have you not taken care of the affairs of the south for a long time?"
