Chapter 179: During the Siege
On that day, when the snow was falling, the plum blossoms in the garden were in full bloom, and the red plum blossoms looked hot and dazzling in the winter snow. But under the plum tree, Shi Shanxue stood alone with a sword in his hand. She was wearing a red brocade robe, her face was still so heroic and beautiful, and the long sword in her hand was glowing with golden light, showing its sharpness and coolness.
"Niangniang, it's too cold, the king went to the queen just now, it is estimated that he will not come over today, Niangniang might as well go back to the palace to rest first." The maidservant said worriedly to Shi Shanxue.
Shi Shanxue raised the corners of her lips, but her eyes were full of desolation, and she asked the maidservant, "How is Xi'er?" ”
"The Fourth Highness is still sleeping peacefully." The handmaid bowed in reply.
"Then you can help me accompany Xi'er. I'll practice my sword here for a while, and I'll be back in the temple soon. Shi Shanxue said flatly.
"Yes, sissy."
Shi Shanxue was the only one left in the courtyard, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the hall again, as if she wanted to see Murong Xian, who was still sleeping peacefully, through the layers of walls. This glance is a deep reluctance and attachment.
It's just that Shi Shanxue knows that Hua Jun's love and patience for her have long been exhausted, and she has no point in continuing to stay here. If she lives like this again, it will only be a drag on her children.
Therefore, on this day, Shi Shanxue drank a sword under the plum tree and killed himself. The moment the snow fell, the hot blood and the cold snow blended together, and the plum blossoms and fine snow fell one after another, and everything was beautiful and desolate.
At the last moment in front of Shi Shan Xue's eyes, what she saw was Jing Concubine who rushed to her courtyard, Jing Concubine was sitting in the snow in horror, and her hand covering her mouth was constantly trembling.
Shi Shanxue's lips were still smiling, she felt the corners of her eyes burning, two lines of tears kept sliding down the sides of her cheeks, her thin lips opened and closed slightly, and her voice was ethereal, no matter how she grabbed it, she couldn't catch it, and it dissipated directly in the cold air.
Jing Concubine leaned over, and what she heard was that Shishan Snow Road was - I wish you the next life, live up to the world, and live up to the world.
Concubine Mei Shi Shanxue died, Hua Jun was shocked when he got the news, and even the hand holding the pen was coldly released: they finally came to this point.
Hua Jun understands that his distrust of Shi Shanxue comes from her cleverness. If Shi Shanxue is not a smart and wise woman, then maybe he will not doubt her. But there is never an if in this world, and if Shi Shanxue is not as smart as her, he will not be able to like her.
Hua Jun once thought that Shi Shanxue's influence on him would be completely over here, because he had already issued an order to blockade and destroy all the news about Shi Shanxue in Huaguo. Even Ming Xu, Hua Jun knew that Emperor Zhuan had made the same decision as Hua Jun now because of his anger and disappointment with Shi Shanxue.
But Hua Jun definitely didn't expect that Shi Shanxue's influence on him was just the beginning.
Because Shi Shanxue and his child, Murong Xi, are a more terrifying existence than Shi Shanxue.
Hua Jun has never taken care of Murong Xi since Shi Shanxue's death, it can be said that the fourth prince has suffered from the world's neglect since he was a child, only the Jing concubine who used to get along well with Shi Shanxue in the palace took care of Murong Xi, and the original Jing Concubine was also made a concubine after Shi Shanxue's death.
Murong Xi is most often alone, so since he was three or four years old, he has been used to sitting in the palace reading alone, practicing swords in the courtyard alone, and even laying out the situation in the world there, seeing the people's hearts are cold.
Murong Xi is too much like his mother, he is smart enough to make people fearful, and he also attracts the jealousy of his brother and the disgust of his father.
Murong Xi, who was in his early tens, was forced to move out of King Hua's palace, and even left Huaguo far away to live on a deserted hill in Mingxu. It was also before Murong Xi left King Hua's palace that Concubine Jing stopped him and conveyed his mother's affairs in detail.
Murong Raid became Rong Raid, and since then, he has been determined to seek the world and never waver.
Rong Xi thought that if he hadn't met that girl at that time, he might not have felt the warmth and love of the world for the rest of his life, but would always live in the conspiracy of power.
Rong Xian can still recall that Yu Ran was still a beautiful and agile little girl at that time, her eyes were dark and bright, staring straight at him.
It was also at that moment that Rong Xian seemed to see another self in Yuran's eyes.
Yu Ran, who is in her early tens, has the same calmness as Rong Xi, she seems to have indescribable tenderness to him, but in fact, Rong Xi can see that what is hidden behind her is endless sourness and helplessness.
In this troubled world, they have two choices, and they invariably make the same choice.
Rong Xi never knew that there could be someone in this world who knew you so well, and he never enjoyed the feeling of being constantly disturbed and toyed with.
It can be said that at that time, Rong Xi already felt that jade dye was the existence he wanted most besides the world.
If there is no cause and effect in the past life, if there is no attachment in this life, how can the two compete to love each other so far, and how can they continue to bond until now?
Rong Xi is not afraid of Hua Jun killing him, he is not afraid of life and death, but he has his persistence. In any case, he also wants to get the world, and he also gets jade dyeing.
Rong Xi has no real feelings for his dead mother, because he has never met her, but if his mother is also Hua Jun's heart knot, then it is not impossible to shake Hua Jun's heart.
"Childe." The sudden voice of the Xiuzi period recalled the appearance of the gods.
Rong Xun felt the coldness of his breath, and sighed that he was still a person who would remember the past.
When he raised his eyes again, Rong Xian's eyes seemed to have turned into a pool of stagnant water, and his eyes were silent and deep, as if he could contain all things and see through people's hearts.
He looked up at the sky, a little bit of coldness kept falling on his cheeks, his vision was hazy, and he realized that there were thin snowflakes floating in the air at some point.
The snow falls gently and softly, but it feels soft and cold, which is a contradiction. Rong Xun spread out his hand, and the snowflakes fell on his palm, and then melted quickly.
"It's snowing......" Rong Xun slowly closed his eyes, feeling this calm but cool feeling.
After a while, under the reminder of the cultivation period, Rong Xun slowly opened his eyes and looked in a direction not far away, he saw someone leading his troops to come, and the sound of horses' hooves was bursting.
Rong Xun saw the person riding a horse in the front, and suddenly chuckled. When the man was close, Rong Xi spoke: "General Cheng is not far away, from Huaguo to Anguo, and he has to risk that An Jun may regret it, just to bring me back, which really makes Rong Xi extremely emotional." ”
"Fourth Highness, since you know that it is really helpless for the last general to leave, then please ask the fourth highness not to resist anymore and return to China with the last general." Cheng Fei twisted his eyebrows and shouted in a loud voice. His appearance looks rough and bold by nature, and this look adds a bit of a sense of sharpness.
"My father wants to ask me to go back, and that letter can tell me, it's really too much to look up to." Rong Xian's eyebrows and eyes flew obliquely, and his beautiful face seemed peaceful, but in an instant, he revealed a chill. This kind of chill is enough to penetrate the bones and intimidate people's hearts.
Cheng Fei was choked, but soon squinted his eyes and said: "The Fourth Highness is wise, and the monarch does not dare to ask His Highness to return to the country with the usual law." ”
"Oh? Therefore, my father was ready to use Le Xue City to exchange An Guo for the opportunity to bring me back. The father really has a good idea, and he also worked hard for Rong Xi. However, is General Cheng so sure that Rong Xi will go back with you? Rong Fengfeng lightly spread the deal between Hua Jun and An Jun in front of everyone, and he was so confident that it was not that everyone was besieging him now, but that he had already taken advantage of all opportunities.
Cheng Fei led the people behind him, but he never approached directly, but he was secretly instructed by Huajun Murong Qi, and he was afraid that there would be fraud in the attack.
Maybe many other generals don't know how powerful Rong Raid is, and they just think that Rong Raid is a fourth prince who is not taken seriously, but in fact, Cheng Fei's considerations are different.
There was a time before when Huaguo attacked Shuyang City in Ningguo, which was originally led by the second prince Murong Qi, and he was the deputy general. As a result, the battle was bitter, and it was even almost annihilated by the army of Ning Guo. But just when Cheng Fei thought that they would be defeated, Hua Jun sent the fourth prince Murong Xi, who didn't believe that Murong Xi had any ability, because in their eyes, the fourth prince was just a prince who was ignored and ignored.
But at that time, Cheng Fei never thought that it was this little-known fourth prince who reorganized the situation and surveyed the situation, and actually repelled the Ning army and broke Shuyang City very smoothly. During this period, he listened to all the analyses of Murong Raid, although he had just led the army, so he was inexperienced, but he could still feel the mystery of Murong Raid's arrangement.
So now he was actually a little nervous when he faced Rong Raid, he stared at Rong Raid while glancing around with his spare eyes, especially the forest behind the bridge where Rong Raid was standing, if Rong Raid had arranged something in it, then wouldn't he be in the middle and lower trap in the past now?
The Fourth Highness laughed, this has nothing to do with the will of the last general. Since the Four Highnesses knew that An Jun had agreed to the king's exchange request, the Four Highnesses should also know that all the streets of An Guo were now full of forbidden troops. Therefore, please listen to the words of the last general, it is impossible for the four highnesses to escape, so let's go back to China with the last general to see the king. Cheng Fei frowned, and said word by word.
"Is General Cheng so confident that he can bring me back to China?" Rong Xun lowered his head slightly, narrowed his eyes, and chuckled suddenly.
Cheng Fei's brows tightened, he stared at Rong Xian, and found that Rong Xian was indeed too indifferent. If a person is really in a desperate situation, it is impossible to show only such a performance.
Not long after Rong Xian's words fell, there was a sudden muffled sound in the woods behind Rong Feng, and this muffled sound was caused by the horse's hooves trampling on the ground, neat and roaring, and it felt more imposing than when Cheng Fei led the army just now.
