That night, an unsigned cowhide scroll was laid out on top of Xuanyuan Lie's bookcase.

"Lin Muyu was captured and imprisoned in Pingchuan, if his life is guaranteed, Pingchuan Yuelai Inn ten days later, bring one million taels of gold in exchange."

In the early morning of the next day, Mo Qian and I stood on a hidden cliff in Hanging Moon Pass, and sure enough, Xuanyuan Lie only took a few henchmen and left in a hurry.

"He's gone!" I admired Mo Qian, and then asked curiously: "Who made Xuanyuan Lie care so much?" ”

Or is Xuanyuan Lie determined that the 3,000 soldiers led by Wang Qin Ruoan, the general of Tianyu Kingdom, who had great military achievements, could not capture the dangerous moon garrisoned by Xiliang soldiers? But the Xuanyuan Lie I know hasn't been conceited to that extent.

Mo Qian smiled mysteriously: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. If Lin Muyu knew that Xuanyuan Lie had dropped the Hanging Moon Pass for her, she would be moved again, and then she would be guilty. When he meets him every day, he doesn't know what trouble he will cause again.

And Xuanyuan Lie, as he expected, can do anything for her.

The north of Pingchuan City is bordered by Southern Xinjiang and Nanzhao, and the south is facing the sea, which is the southernmost point of this continent, far away from the Hanging Moon Pass, Mo Qian only gave Xuanyuan Lie ten days, and he must set off immediately and travel day and night to arrive. When the time is tight, it is difficult to take care of anything else. When Xuanyuan Lie arrived in Pingchuan, the three thousand men and horses led by Qin Ruoan should also rush to the Hanging Moon Pass, plus the masters of the rivers and lakes arranged by Mo Qian had sneaked into the Hanging Moon Pass, and when the time came, he would make peace with Qin Ruoan's army, and when Xuanyuan Lie noticed that he was fooled in Pingchuan, I am afraid that the Hanging Moon Pass would have already been wrong.

"Xuanyuan Lie's trip to Pingchuan won't be dangerous, right?" I asked Mo Qian uneasily.

Mo Qian said with a smile: "The Lord has been thinking too much, the landscape of Pingchuan City is beautiful, and the four seasons are like spring, if it is not arranged by his subordinates, how can Xuanyuan Lie be fortunate to enjoy its beautiful scenery!" ”

"That's good, that's good!" I owe Xuanyuan Lie a lot of money. If Xuanyuan Lie has any mistakes in Pingchuan's trip because of this, how should I deal with myself.

Mo Qian only felt a chill rise up his spine. She really still cared about him, if he really died in Pingchuan, would she be angry with herself because of it, or would she just blame herself. But no matter which outcome it is, it is not what Mo Qian wants. For the first time, Mo Qian actually began to pray for Xuanyuan Lie, don't be fine. But another voice in his heart was reminding him that Xuanyuan Lie couldn't stay, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

Within a few days, Qin Ruoan led his troops to Yuebian City, running around for days, the soldiers were a little tired, and then the time was pressing, the disparity between the enemy and me, and the situation became more and more severe, fortunately, Qin Ruoan was convinced by the soldiers, Tianyu was relatively familiar with the terrain of Hanging Moon Pass, and everyone's morale was also high. In order to surprise him, Qin Ruoan personally led the army to raid the Hanging Moon Pass at night, all the way into a no-man's land. Just when Qin Ruoan suspected that this was the time for the Xiliang army to lure the enemy deeper, he saw that the Xiliang garrison in Hangyue Pass was either lying on the dinner table or lying on the ground and falling asleep, and a few of them were awake, and they had already been tied hand and foot. shouted until he was hoarse, but he never woke up his sleepy companion.

It turned out that as early as the night of Qin Ruo'an's attack on Hanging Moon Pass, the food of the Xiliang soldiers was mixed with a large amount of sweat medicine. When Qin Ruoan's army arrived, it would take no effort to pocket the hanging moon.

However, just when Qin Ruoan's army retracted the Hanging Moon Pass, preparing to deal a heavy blow to the Xiliang army before Xuanyuan Lie rushed back, so as to injure its main force and prevent it from counterattacking. Gu Zhengxi actually sent someone to pass the decree, saying that Qin Shangshu and Qin Ruoan colluded with Xiliang, led their troops to defect, betrayed humiliation and sought glory, and in addition to beheading all the doors, all the 3,000 soldiers under his command were also beheaded on the spot.

Immediately, another large army surrounded Qin Ruoan's battalion, and in order to save the lives of these soldiers who had lived and died with him, Qin Ruoan waved his knife to counterattack, and everyone agreed, and the two sides fought together. However, the opponent's strength was more than three times that of Qin Ruoan's army. Qin Ruoan led the crowd to break out of the encirclement, and there were 3,000 soldiers, and there were less than 23 out of 10 left.

That night, the hundreds fled to the outskirts of the moonside city, where they were again blocked. Qin Shangshu was killed on the spot by several arrows. When Mo Qian and I arrived, we saw that Qin Ruoan and his men were already surrounded. The encirclement gradually shrank, and the victory or defeat was already predestined.

But Qin Ruoan, who was covered in blood, still wielded the long knife in his hand, struggling to protect the few people left around him.

But soon, there was no one else beside Qin Ruoan, and I saw that the steel-like tenacity in his eyes seemed to disappear in an instant, and the long knife seemed to be weighing thousands of pounds all of a sudden, and the heavy blood-stained hand could no longer hold it, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

The man, who was still as resolute as steel, seemed to have been drained of all his strength in an instant, and could no longer support it, and his shaking body was like a mud puppet in water, weakly paralyzed.

It's over! It's finally over, once, between loyalty and righteousness, Qin Ruoan chose loyalty, between loyalty and filial piety, Qin Ruoan still chose loyalty, and before loyalty and affection, he still chose loyalty. It's a pity that his loyalty is not human, and the subordinates he followed, the loving father, all died because of his foolish loyalty to Gu Zhengxi, the Tianyu Emperor. Even, the woman he admired was killed by his order and fell into the abyss......

Let all this end, and in the next life, he will never be involved in the chaotic royal court.

Qin Ruoan ...... "I urged to step off the horse, faster, faster."

But...... A little, just a little, I can stop the bloody long grass from stabbing into Qin Ruoan's chest. But it's just a little bit that separates life from death!

Mo Qian stretched out the flower umbrella in his hand to protect me behind me, and drew his long sword to block the attack in front of me.

"Right...... Right...... ......" Yin red blood overflowed from the corners of Qin Ruoan's mouth. He wanted to tell Lin Muyu that it was not his intention to hurt her at the beginning, he wanted to tell Lin Muyu that Muyu lived in a small house, and he had rebuilt it for her, and he wanted to tell Lin Muyu that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life......

But there was no chance, yes, no, three words, he had exhausted all his strength.

If he were to turn back the clock, his sword would only be willing to fight for her. Even if he is the enemy of heaven and earth, he must protect her every inch by her side, and never let such a beautiful woman go through the hardships of this life and suffer the hardships of this life.

It's a pity that there is no chance......

Fortunately, God had mercy on her, and she died in her arms, and it was not in vain to come to this world......

Qin Shangshu's family did not escape the disaster of annihilation in the end, and I buried Qin Ruoan in a cliff cave near Hanging Moon Pass, which is quiet, and there is a thousand-year-old pine tree next to the cliff cave, so I think he will not be too lonely.

That night, I had a high fever, so Mo Qian rented a private house, and invited a famous doctor to treat me, and did everything for my diet and daily life, but I still lay in a daze for more than ten days before I got better.

Not long after, Hanging Moon Pass was once again included in the territory of Xiliang. I heard a bird flying from Tianyu Capital City say that Gu Zhengxi had ordered the burning of Yuebian City.

Burn Moonside City! He still gave up the Hanging Moon Pass and the strongest shield in the Tianyu Western Realm. From then on, there is no danger to defend in the western border of Tianyu, the army of Xiliang may come to the capital of Tianyu at any time, and the iron cavalry of Xiliang may step into the palace of Tianyu at any time. Gu Zhengxi's move is undoubtedly digging his own grave.

Fortunately, at this time, the Moon Edge City was already the same as the Empty City. Mo Qian couldn't hire a carriage, so he had to pick up an old carriage that I don't know who abandoned on the street, repair it overnight, and put on several more quilts, ready to take me away.

However, before our carriage left the city, the army of the Western Liang Kingdom had already occupied the gate of the moon border.

I heard the sound of neat horses' hooves surrounding our carriage and the sound of Mo Qian's long sword unsheathed.

Lifting the curtain, I saw Xuanyuan Lie holding the reins in his hand, and the cold light of his long sword was fierce. I saw that his eyes were darker and deeper than they had been at first sight, almost drowning the only ray of deep blue that came out of the darkness before nightfall.

"You're in Moonside City. You're really in Moon's Edge City! ”

How do I answer "I ......"? Listening to Xuanyuan Lie's tone, was he surprised that I was in Moonside City, or did he guess that I was in Moonside City a long time ago? I'm in Moonside City, what's wrong?

The best inn in Moonside City, I sat opposite Xuanyuan Lie.

"Drink tea." There was no joy in his voice.

"I can't drink tea." He seemed to forget that I couldn't drink tea.

"This is a wild chrysanthemum, which can defeat fire."

"Thank you!" I actually forgot, in addition to the prince of Xiliang Kingdom, he is also the leader of the Dark Alliance, when the Moon Border City is in chaos, but a large number of famous doctors flock to it, the Dark Alliance must be investigated, and I am not difficult to find out about my affairs in the Moon Border City.

Xuanyuan didn't ask me again why I was in Moon's Edge City. Or perhaps, what Mo Qian and I did at the Hanging Moon Pass, he already knew.

Unexpectedly, he didn't say a word about it, and he didn't hurry to talk to me about the water in the cup and the scene outside the window.

"If he and I dominate the country one day, you are willing to accompany me and share it with me!" Xuanyuan Lie suddenly said this.

"I don't want to!" I refused bluntly, "Jiangshan is not something that women should worry about." ”

"It's not about ...... country," he explains.

"It's not the country, it's the companionship, and the person who accompanies me with the white head, his eyes must not be as dark as Prince Xuanyuan." This should be Xuanyuan Lie's most formal confession to me. If he wasn't the Prince of Xiliang and didn't have a great career for his family and country, maybe I would consider this excellent man, but he was Xuanyuan Lie, Prince Xiliang. I finally escaped the life of being manipulated and manipulated by others, and how could I get involved in his involuntary fate again.

"What about Che?" He actually mentioned Xuanyuan Che.

"He should be doing well!" Get rid of the shackles, be free and comfortable, and indulge in the landscape. At least I thought it was.

"If Fang Cai's words were thorough, how would you answer?"

"He wouldn't ask me that." Jiangshan, he has never cared, and he will not compromise anything with anyone, even if he is dormant, after the dark clouds, his life is still sunny and clear. He lived more truly and casually than we did. If he confesses to the woman, it must be a storm and a romantic relationship. It's not like Xuanyuan Lie is so aggressive.

I didn't expect Xuanyuan Lie to let me and Mo Qian go so easily, which made me inexplicably have the illusion that Xuanyuan Lie didn't seem to intend to embarrass us in the first place. Or, he was just for that confession that had long expected the result and a cup of chrysanthemum tea that had failed the fire. But the Xuanyuan Lie I know is not infatuated to this extent! Even if there were, it would never be for me.

Why?

Lin Muyu's back disappeared at the door of the inn, and Xuanyuan Lie said to the dark blue behind the bead curtain: "Why don't you want to meet her?" ”

"After all, I am not as free and easy as she thinks. I am not what she wants to see now. ”
