Chapter 18: I see that you are dead
At the palace banquet, Xu Lian'er smiled gently and decently, and the fine pearl cui swayed slightly on her temples, showing the dignified dignity of her favorite concubine.
Mu Xiuhan was by his side all night, and his cold eyes looked at every smiling minister and concubine, but he felt that most of the excitement was mixed with falsehood.
No one remembers that half a month ago, the general Song Yi rolled over the nail board and walked through the charcoal fire here, and they only had their favorite concubine Xu Lian'er in their eyes.
There was a bonfire in the copper furnace not far away, the palace people wearing masks were jumping hard, and Mu Xiuhan, who was sitting on the top seat, looked at him coldly, and for a moment, he seemed to see Song Yi's resolute eyes walking towards him with scars in the firelight, and behind him was a black and red carbon road that was extinguished by blood, and the deadly posture was exactly the same as that day.
The scene was so real that even the man's red eyes and bloodshot eyes could be seen clearly!
I don't know what to live or die!
A wave of anger rose in his heart, and Mu Xiuhan picked up his wine glass and poured a glass of wine.
When he looked over again, a palace man with a grimace jumped in front of the copper furnace, and the bonfire was blocked.
It's just a show, Mu Xiuhan who watched it was particularly annoying, he put down the wine glass with a "bang", his face was calm, but there was a chill.
Seeing this, Xu Lian'er smiled lightly and refilled his wine glass.
"Your Majesty?" A soft look appeared on her beautiful face, and Xu Lian'er asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Are you feeling unwell? Do you want a concubine to accompany you for a walk? ”
"It's fine." Mu Xiuhan's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, he seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't seem to have it, after a moment of silence, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, slowly got up and said, "I have drunk a little too much, go for a walk alone, Concubine Ai is the protagonist today, so you don't have to go with me." ”
Putting the wine glass back on the table, the black robe swayed lightly, and the man slowly left the wedding feast of singing and dancing.
The eunuch guards behind him followed not far away, and no one dared to disturb Mu Xiuhan.
In the dark night, except for the bustle of the front hall, no matter where else could not even hear a person's voice, Mu Xiuhan paced on the winding corridor, and even the fish swimming in the pond seemed to be clearly audible.
Both sides of the promenade are planted with peach blossoms, and at this time it is in the flowering season, and the pink and white petals piled up on the branches seem to be as beautiful as spring and white snow.
Taking a deep breath, the shallow floral scent reminded him of the man who didn't want to die.
He had just ascended the throne that year, and it was also on such a night when the peach blossoms were in full bloom that he came to resign with him and go to Mobei.
They stood side by side, facing the silent deep palace compound, Mu Xiuhan said in a deep voice, "Song Yi, it's too late for you to regret it now." ”
The handsome young man's face was slightly stunned, and then he returned to normal, and his lips curled and said indifferently, "Mobei is uneven for a day, and I will not return for a day." ”
Mu Xiuhan clearly remembered that a peach petal fell in time and space when he said this, which happened to fall on his shoulder, he stretched out his hand and brushed it away indifferently, and continued, "As long as this is the emperor's will, Song Yi will never regret it." ”
Mu Xiuhan's heart was cold, Song Yi was the same age as him, he was just an untrained teenager back then, when he first ascended the throne, the court had just undergone a major purge, no one was credible, and no one was available, so Song Yi recommended himself to go to the boring Mobei to stay for many years.
After a few more steps, he came to the edge of the water pavilion, where the lights were dim, and the eunuch who held the lantern hurriedly lit the lantern to guide the way.
At this time, there was a figure not far away, Mu Xiuhan's eyes were sharp, and he roared with a cold face, "Who is standing there?!" ”
There was a dead silence all around.
The big eunuch who took the lead took two steps forward and looked at the person under the steps, isn't it the great general Song Yi who didn't die two days ago? !
At that moment, he turned around and leaned into Mu Xiuhan's ear and said, "It's General Song." ”
This sentence made Mu Xiuhan very surprised, his narrow eyes looked at the past, the person under the steps was dressed in white, his clothes were graceful and his body was well-proportioned, standing in this flower Xie out of the dust, it was not Song Yi.
He stood at the foot of the steps and saw Mu Xiuhan, who was high up, put together the paper fan in his hand and knocked his hand neatly, and said lightly, "Weichen greets the emperor, long live my emperor." ”
His voice was like a clear spring in the mountains, delicate and clean, which made Mu Xiuhan's heart tremble.
Song Yi raised his hand to brush off the falling flowers on his shoulders, the front hall was lively, Xu Lian'er, as Mu Xiuhan's favorite concubine, was not with him at this time, how could he stand here alone.
Before his thoughts were cleared, the man in a black robe had already come back to his senses and said with a cold face, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Just walk around." Song Yi said quietly.
Knowing that this person didn't tell him the truth, Mu Xiuhan raised his eyebrows, and a sneer appeared on his lips, "Really?" You've walked around and come to the deep palace. ”
Song Yi never fought unprepared battles, his lips moved slightly and he was about to justify, when a pretty figure appeared, with a smile on his face, and a sweet voice saluted and said, "I've seen the emperor's brother." ”
As soon as he saw Yun Luo, Mu Xiuhan understood everything.
The dark and deep eyes swept across Song Yi's face, and turned to Yun Luo, who bowed down, and said, "You brought him in?" ”
Last night, Song Yi asked Yun Luo to help her enter the palace to face the saint, it was rare that Song Yi took the initiative to find her when she had something, how could she not agree?
Nodding without hesitation, he said cautiously in a crisp and sweet voice, "It was the imperial grandmother who said that she hadn't seen General Song for many years and asked Yunluo to bring people into the palace." ”
Seeing that her usually well-behaved and clever sister was actually working against him for Song Yi at this moment, Mu Xiuhan's eyes were dark and glanced at the person beside him, but his voice was deep and meaningful, "You have a heart, Song Yi, don't let down Yunluo in the future!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the man dressed in white was stunned, her eyes were slightly raised, and she looked at the man who was exuding a chill all over her body, but she did not answer.
Seeing this, Mu Xiuhan snorted coldly and picked up the hem of his clothes and was about to turn around, and a group of eunuchs and maids stood not far away, all of whom were Mu Xiuhan's attendants.
There are many people in the front hall, and it is not easy to ask him again, Song Yi shouted in a low voice in a hurry, "Your Majesty!" ”
Knowing that she had something to do, Mu Xiuhan paused slightly, never turned around, and only asked casually, "What's the matter?" ”
stepped forward with an awe-inspiring posture, Song Yi resolutely stood in front of the man who was a head taller than her, her handsome eyes flashed with a sharp and stubborn light, and she said word by word, "Does the emperor still remember the Song family?" ”
How could he not remember, it was those people who guarded the entire Mobei land for him, and it was they who made today's general Song Yi.
But so what?
Now that the frontier has been decided, these people are not only useless to him Mu Xiuhan, but they are also worried.
Weakening the Song family army is a foregone conclusion, even if it will make Song Yi hate him to the core, Mu Xiuhan does not intend to back down half a step.
The figure of the man in a black robe moved slightly, ignoring Song Yi's questioning, raising his legs to bypass Song Yi and walking straight forward, and the group of eunuch guards behind him also turned around.
The starlight was meager in the dark night, and the cool breeze blew through Song Yi's thin hair on both sides, her expression was resolute, she would rather commit a great crime of rebellion today than do something for Song Jiajun!
That's the soldier who has been with her for six years, who follows her to drink blood and eat raw meat, and who can be killed on the battlefield with her!
The white figure suddenly rose into the air, stepping on the flower branches on the tree and falling in front of Mu Xiuhan, and a group of Praetorian Guards behind him drew their swords and stood, and they were about to rush up with a bang.
The man raised his hand, his large, knuckled hands, and motioned for the Praetorian Guards to retreat.
The group retreated under the bridge, leaving only the two of them, one black and one white, standing side by side as they had done six years ago, but now, the two are opposites.
"Dare to stop the royal driver, Song Yi, I see that you are going to die!" The narrow and emotionless eyes looked at the thin man, and the thin lips coldly spat out the merciless words.
But that person didn't care at all, he looked at Mu Xiuhan indifferently and said, "It's okay for the emperor to kill me today, and it's good to punish me, as long as Song Yi lives in this world for one day, he will protect the Song family army for one day!" ”
