Sikong Shaoyang rushed back to the Dongzhao Palace and came to the imperial study of Dongling Jue, and the emperor was already waiting for him there. In Dongling Jue's eyes at this moment, it is not expectation, not suspicion, but trust and certainty. Sikong Shaoyang picked up Bi Xiao with both hands from the table, turned around and knelt in front of Dongling Jue, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve Dongzhao loyally until the last moment of my life." ”

"I have decreed that Lin'an County will be given to you as a fief, and the surname 'Sikong' will be given to you, so that you will have a successor."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Three days later, Tanglin Jue died, and the whole country mourned.

After the state funeral, Tanglin Xun succeeded to the throne, and Tanglin Yi was canonized as the crown prince.

Sikong Shaoyang served the new emperor, for his promise to Tangling Jue, and also to repay the grace of Dongling Jue for giving him the meaning of life.

Sikong Shaoyang woke up from his memories and gently rubbed the golden crown of hair.

Su Yu, you should find the best man in the world like me, a person who has long since died, a person who killed the king who was deeply loved by the people of Dongzhao.

Let's say that Mu Yunyi came out of the palace and rushed back to the house, and went directly to his younger brother Mu Yunduo's courtyard without resting.

"Little Yiyi!" Meng Li saw Mu Yunyi returning, and pounced directly.

Mu Yunyi's light sideways avoidance of the oncoming "kindness", "How is Yun Duo?" ”

"As Meng Li expected, he woke up shortly after you left that day, but after only two hours, he fell asleep again." Mu Xiu, who was standing on the side, took over, and he deliberately avoided telling Mu Yunduo what he looked like when he was awake.

When he woke up...... "How could Mu Yunyi let it go."

Meng Li changed the appearance of the hippie smile and sighed slightly heavily, "What I can do is to let him fall asleep as soon as possible." ”

With just this sentence, Mu Yunyi could anticipate the pain of his younger brother when he woke up.

"And what did he say?"

"He was in excruciating pain, his consciousness was blurred at all, but his mouth seemed to mention a letter repeatedly." Meng Li recalled the situation at that time.

"Letter?"

"Yes, he kept saying 'Letter...... That letter ......'" Mu Xiu was also puzzled, "Has he left any letters for you?" Or were you any letters when you rescued him? ”

Mu Yunyi quickly recalled all the details that might be related to the "letter", but there was never any clue, so he had to shake his head.

It seems that he can only wait until the next time Yun Duo wakes up to try to ask about it, but thinking of the pain when his younger brother wakes up, Mu Yunyi can't bear it in his heart.

"By the way, Xiao Yiyi, in the days you left, there was another thing in Dongzhao that you would like to tell you?" Meng Li blinked mysteriously like a treasure.

Seeing that Mu Yunyi was silent, Meng Li raised his chin, and said as if he was about to talk about the conditions: "Na, it's better to be like this, let me tell you this big news, you lend me your pair of moon killers for two days?" ”

Mu Yunyi was still silent, obviously not buying Meng Li's account, and turned to look at Mu Xiu.

Mu Xiu then said: "Dongzhao's official fleet has been hijacked on Chili Island in the Gloomy Continent, and the goods on it are not to mention for the time being, the life and death of the crew and soldiers are unknown, and Dongzhao will send someone to negotiate on the Gloomy Continent today." ”

"Hey, Mu Xiu, didn't you say okay and let me tell Xiao Yiyi, why did you say it all!" Meng Li shouted dissatisfaction.

Mu Yunyi habitually ignored Meng Li and said to Mu Xiu: "Negotiation? In fact, it is to send troops to fight, this Ethereal Continent has always been a big trouble for their Dongzhao. ”

Meng Li wanted to interject, "Isn't that it, if you want me to say, maybe the disappearance of the fleet was directed and acted by them Dongzhao, the purpose is to become famous and lead a head to the Gloomy Continent, after all, who doesn't want to occupy the resource-rich archipelago over there!" ”

Mu Xiu shook his head and said: "That's not it, the war in Fengcheng has just ended, and a lot of energy and resources have already been consumed, even if they have this intention, they will not act in such a hurry, not to mention that the pirates of the Ethereal Continent can be unscrupulous for so many years, and it is not so easy to take them down." ”

"That's right...... Oh, whatever, let's just watch the show! Speaking of which, Xiao Yiyi, let's discuss it again, your moon killing ......"

Mu Yunyi didn't understand Meng Li's entanglement, and her mind quickly sorted out all the information she knew about the Ethereal Continent.

It is a general term for an archipelago in the southeast of the Dongzhao Border Sea, of which three large islands are the main activity areas of the residents on the island, namely: Chili Island, Lanshan Island and Bihu Island. Due to its location overseas, and the fact that it has little direct contact with land countries, it is impossible to enforce restraints, so the pirate cargo ships in Ethereal Island have become a gray area at sea for smuggling and selling contraband. Although the island was occupied by pirates, there were many island groups and the interests of the various factions were intricate, so the island was never established as a unified political entity, but each pirate group occupied an island. The largest of the three islands, Chili Island has a large, defendable natural harbor facing the western coast, and its famous navy warfront makes the pirates and smugglers even more unscrupulous and lawless.

Mu Yunyi felt a trace of worry in her heart, "Will Su Yan also go to ...... this time?"

Sure enough, five days later, Dongzhao sent the Navy Army to Chili Island to negotiate with the envoys, and the leaders were not only General Han Qian, who was proficient in naval warfare in Dongzhao, but also Su Yan as Mu Yunyi expected.

Hard-to-defend ports, fierce and cunning pirates, and most importantly...... When Xiqiong learns of Dongzhao's move, he will definitely take action. Mu Yunyi couldn't wait in Dongzhao safely, even though she knew that it was an extremely serious matter for her to leave the country without permission as a proton, but she didn't have time to think about more consequences. She inquired that Su Yan would lead his Yunlu army to the easternmost port of Yize in Dongzhao to meet with General Han Qian's sailors, and then set sail together......

Late that night, Mu Xiu was the only one left in an inconspicuous tavern in Shangling City, and there were countless empty jars of wine on the table, but he was not drunk.

He didn't see Mu Yunyi during the day, and she didn't return home until the evening, and this day was the day when Su Yan led the army to attack the Ethereal Continent, and Mu Xiu already knew very well in his heart where she should go. Only this time, she didn't even have time to say a word to herself.

"Can't you let him go like this?"

He picked up another jar of wine, opened it, and poured it down. When the last drop of wine was drunk by him, he smashed the wine jar, turned around and left the tavern, and quietly left Shangling City.

"Oh, how can I ever let you go."
