Chapter 138: Quarrel
Five days later, I ordered the phoenix in my left hand and passed the jade seal of the country in my right hand, and led a million troops to the city of Qiongzhou. The defenders of Qiongzhou abandoned the city and fled, and the city of Qiongzhou surrendered without a fight.
Two days later, the army arrived at Yishui City without the slightest resistance.
Seven days later, the city of Fenglin was breached. At this point, the Fengqi army was driven out of the original Xiliang border by the whole line.
I sent an envoy to the Fengqi Palace with a holy decree, ordering Xiao Qingyu to hand over Xiao Xiang'er immediately, and personally go to Fenglin City to meet the eldest princess of Tianyuguo.
The edict of the former Fengqi First Emperor: If it is ordered by the phoenix in the future, the Fengqi country will definitely listen to its dispatch. Therefore, Xiao Qingyu can't help but listen to me.
I have a jade seal of the country, which is orthodox by God. Therefore, Xiao Qingyu cannot disobey my will.
Not long after, he came, but not to meet him. Instead, he sneaked into my room at night and put a cold sword around my neck.
"Tianyu's domination of the world is a foregone conclusion and irreversible!" I didn't care that the blade of the sword had cut through my skin, but smiled even brighter: "If you stop at this time and send a letter of surrender to my Tianyuguo, not only can you save your life, but this palace can also seal you as a Fengqi king." But if you continue to be obsessed, this palace will let the entire Fengqi bury you! ”
"If I were the greedy person who fears death in your mouth, I wouldn't be here today!" Xiao Qingyu's face was hidden in the darkness, I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I clearly felt that the sword in his hand was a little closer. Xiao Qingyu's voice was cold, and he said to me: "The situation is irreversible, Fengqi has no power to return to the sky, but as the emperor of Fengqi Kingdom, what I can do for the people is to prevent them from falling into the hands of tyrants." ”
"Tyrant?" I couldn't help laughing out loud again: "Cao'er has been taught by Mrs. Mo since she was a child, and she is open-minded and kind-hearted, how can she be suspected of being a tyrant?" Besides, he's only four years old! ”
"Huyan Cao has Mo Wei's teachings, and he is a saint who is extraordinary, generous and benevolent. But you," his sword moved forward again, forcing my back against the wall before continuing: "You are ruthless, you have lost your conscience, and you have controlled the government for many years, and I killed you to remove future troubles for the common people in the world." ”
I control the government because Cao'er is still young, and although the old minister of Tianyu and the old department of the Northern Desert are harmonious on the surface, the estrangement in my heart cannot be eliminated overnight. Before this, only me and Cao'er were in the court, and this kind of thing would not be put on the surface. Besides, why should I explain the matter of Tianyuguo to him! But he couldn't help but be curious, and said: "Ruthless, lose your conscience!" I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor of Fengqi Kingdom, what did I do to make you praise me with such vicious words! ”
"Since you got the jade seal of the country, you first seized the power of Tianyu, and then coerced Yancao to order the Northern Desert. In order to sweep away the south, you trampled on the royal family of southern Xinjiang, coerced the surrender of Nanzhao, and forced the lord of the Great Blazing Kingdom to commit suicide. Now, you have destroyed the entire Dongyi clan, slaughtered 100,000 troops in Xiliang, and killed millions of soldiers in my Fengqi country. It's not ruthless and unconscionable! ”
Hum! It's obviously the Dongyi clan that Qiu Yun wiped out! Xiliang's troops were also poisoned by him, and Xiao Qingyu said that the millions of soldiers of Fengqi Country had already suffered a lot of losses when they fought against Xiliang, how did they become killed by me? Which eye did he see that I did it!
Seeing that I didn't think so, Xiao Qingyu was even more angry, and said, "You dare to say that it wasn't you who trapped the defeated Fengqi soldiers in Changshun!" They have already descended, why do you want to kill them all and set fire to the corpses! Have you ever thought about their parents, wives and children in the family? ”
I burned the corpse to prevent the corpse from decomposing and forming a plague! This is a simple common sense, how can he Xiao Qingyu not know. Or is it because I am the one who ordered the burning of the corpses, that is, the sin must not be angry! I finally smiled and said, "You Fengqi soldiers have parents, wives and children, don't I have Tianyu soldiers?" The life of your Fengqi soldier is fate, isn't the life of my Tianyu soldier fate? When they came, they were full of enthusiasm and momentum, and when they left, they were just a pile of dust! If they die on the battlefield, they will die well, but they were poisoned by your Fengqi people! As the eldest princess of Tianyu Kingdom, I avenge them, worthy of heaven and earth! ”
"What about Xiang'er?"
"She's damned!" The fact that she poisoned Mu Yu alone was enough for her to die a hundred times.
"If you kill Master, you want to kill Xiang'er, Lin Muyu, do you know that in this world, I only have Xiang'er as a relative! Are you going to turn me into a loner before you give up? ”
"Humph! You treat Xiao Xiang'er as a relative, but what about her? is gentle and dignified on the surface, but behind the scenes, interferes in your harem, mutilates your heirs, and even colludes with Qiu Yun to rob your country! How many people she killed, how many people she killed, don't you really know at all? ”
"At least she didn't kill her father! There is no cholera dynasty! There is no national mourning and rejuvenation! ”
"But she killed Xiao Chonghua, her husband!" I never imagined that Xiao Qingyu and I would one day point at each other's noses and accuse each other, quarrel, and be hysterical.
Even if there is some misunderstanding among us, let him mistakenly think that I destroyed the entire Dongyi clan, slaughtered the Xiliang troops, and put Fengqi's millions of soldiers to death for no reason, but what can this represent, in his heart, I am already heinous!
In fact, everything has already been settled, Tianyu won Fengqi, and he became my defeated subordinate. He killed me, but the net was broken. So what am I fighting with him? What is the noise? It's ridiculous!
I shouted, "Someone! ”
Immediately, a black shadow emerged from the darkness and fought with Xiao Qingyu, this is the secret guard that Xiao Ye sent me. Sure enough, he is as strong as Yun Cheng's martial arts.
During the fight, something fell out of Xiao Qingyu's body, and a fragrance like flowers and fruits wafted away, and I couldn't help but be startled and picked up the black hairpin on the ground.
"You know that I have no heirs, then you still know that there is no one in my harem." After Xiao Qingyu finished speaking, he snatched the hairpin from my hand and jumped out of the window, and disappeared in an instant.
"Why are you stunned?" I heard Liang Jingshu in the courtyard order the guards: "Chase!" ”
"Stop chasing!" Xiao Ye didn't know when he had already stood at the door, looked at me in the room and said, "Early tomorrow morning, let's take Mo Qian, Xuanyuan Che, and all the soldiers who died in the Battle of Xiliang home!" ”
When I heard Sayo's words, I burst into tears!
On the way back to the capital, I met a convoy with the banner of the Fengqi mission coming from east to west, and I stopped the mission to know that on the day I set out for Changshun City, they also happened to set off from the capital of Fengqi to Tianyu to submit their credentials, hoping that the two countries would marry. And the object of this marriage turned out to be the eldest princess of Tianyu Kingdom and the emperor of Fengqi Kingdom.
Me and Xiao Qingyu!
If Xiliang is still there, the strategic purpose of Tianyu and Fengqi marrying to consolidate the common fight against Xiliang is also in line with the art of war. But at that time, Tianyu and Fengqi's strategy of dividing Xiliang had been implemented, and Xiliang was destroyed overnight. The two countries don't have to form an alliance to fight against Xiliang. Then there is only one other possibility left for the purpose of this political marriage, which is a truce! Tianyu and Fengqi stood in separate courts, each doing their own thing.
In fact, I once met this Fengqi mission, at a post station in Shimen Pass, but at that time, the war in Changshun was tight, and I only cared about hurrying and did not turn my head to look at the carriage and horses parked at the gate of the post station.
If I had seen this letter at that time, maybe there would have been no fighting outside Changshun City, no tragedy in Dongyi Cottage, and no poisoning in Changshun City!
I sighed and said to the Fengqi envoy: "Your national letter, it's really late. ”
The messenger raised his hand and bowed to me, and said, "My emperor confesses, no matter what the result of the battle of Changshun is, what the letter of state wishes is what my emperor wants." ”
"No matter what the outcome of the battle of Changshun is? But the result of this battle of Changshun is probably something he never even dreamed of! "Xiao Qingyu and I are destined to not be able to go back, and we will never go back!
In the capital, the people came to the city gate to welcome the army back to the court, laughing and laughing everywhere, putting up lights everywhere, and everyone was shouting: "The eldest princess is Chitose!" ”
But who knows, on the carriage behind me, lying quietly, Mo Qian, Xuanyuan Che, General Wu, 100,000 soldiers who died on the battlefield, and 300,000 officers and soldiers who died of poisoning in Changshun City, their ashes!
One will be a success! People will always only admire the high winner, and only the high winner will sing praises, but how many people are willing to take a look at the ten thousand piles of bones behind the winner! Who will remember the 400,000 loyal souls who died in a foreign land behind me!
No one even noticed that the man who always held up the flower umbrella for me by my side, the man who always stood behind me with the golden sword in his hand, was gone!
Cao'er asked me, "Are Mr. Mo and General Xuanyuan asleep?" ”
"They're tired," I said, "and want to rest." ”
The heavy coffin lid slowly blocked Xuanyuan Che's clothes that were bluer than the sky, his once indifferent handsome face, and the golden sword on the top of his head that was still on the side of the pillow, and then tightly integrated with the coffin.
If it weren't for Xuanyuan Che's promise that I wouldn't drink a drop of alcohol before I returned as a guest, maybe he would have been able to drink instead of water like Hu Yanchi to escape. I also said that I would bring him mooncakes back, but he didn't wait for me!
From the time I learned the news of his poisoning to the time I returned to the capital, I never shed a single tear, but at this moment, my tears came out of my eyes.
Xuanyuan Che, I know that you have returned to this earthly strife for me, but I have never given you the slightest response. Xuanyuan Che, have you ever regretted meeting me in this life?
Mo Qian, don't worry, Qiu Yun owes you the 27,000 dollars, I will definitely get it back for you, I'm sorry, on the night of Dongyi Cottage, I refused to take out the moon cakes I made for you to taste, and I refused to eat the moon cakes you made for me! Don't be mad at me, okay? Actually, I never told you, but I'm used to your company.
When Liang Jingshu left the cemetery, she didn't follow, and from a distance, I heard her say: "Liang Jingshu, the right protector of the Fengxun clan, say goodbye to the master!" ”
Before I could react to what was going on, I saw Liang Jingshu's body crash into Mo Qian's tombstone, and by the time I ran over, I was out of breath.
I held Liang Jingshu's body until the early morning of the next day, and then said to the soldiers who had stood with me all night, "Bury her next to Mo Qian!" ”
I tried to marry Liang Jingshu several times, but she refused, it turned out that Mo Qian had already existed in her heart. On the night of Dongyi Cottage, she decided to go with Mo Qian, but at that time, there was no one around me to take care of her, so she kept enduring her grief and held on in front of me. It wasn't until we returned to the capital that no one could hurt me anymore that she finally felt relieved to go with Mo Qian.
Someone took Liang Jingshu from Lin Muyu's arms, and Murong Xingye helped Lin Muyu to stand up from the ground, but after taking a few steps, she spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted.
