Chapter Twenty-Eight: No Turning Back

Mingfu finally finished what she wanted to say in one breath, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief, but when Zhao Nan listened, she raised her heart to her throat. After all, this sentence was asked by Ming Fu first, and Zhao Nan was finally able to face the truest answer in his heart, and his answer was yes.

Zhao Nan felt that his love for Mingfu was undoubted, I don't know if it was the first time Mingfu said that he liked him, or when Mingfu desperately protected him on the battlefield, and finally fainted in his arms, or if they got along day and night since they became brothers and sisters, these bits and pieces, these habits, have already quietly sprouted and taken root in Zhao Nan's heart.

But this love came at such an inopportune time, Zhao Nan had no way to tell Mingfu that he loved him, he had been involved in the rebellion of seeking power and usurping the throne, no matter what the final result was, whether he was dead or alive, this was a road of no return, and he could never turn back.

Zhao Nan wanted to leave with Mingfu and live the life they wanted to live, starting a new life in a quiet, peaceful and secluded small village. There is only the ordinary happiness they have been waiting for, and every day is the repetition of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but they are in the company of each other to go forever.

But life will never be so simple, once you leave, it is easy to say, but this is unattainable for Zhao Nan. With their ability, it is possible to escape for a while, but then they will live in the shadow of being hunted down for the rest of their lives, Zhao Nan himself chose the wrong path, but he can't pull Mingfu into the water.

Zhao Nan raised his eyes coldly and looked at Ming Fu, indifferent and detached, and there was even a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "What do you think you are, if I say a few soft words to you, you dare to come and ask me to go with you?" Now that you know the truth, you should know that I don't love you, I don't care about your long wait and infatuation, you don't want to embarrass you here anymore, let's go. ”

Mingfu had long thought that there would be such an ending, but he still couldn't believe that Zhao Nan was so indifferent and ruthless, and held back his tears, Mingfu asked again: "Are you sure?" Do you really, really not regret it? ”

Zhao Nan snorted coldly and turned his back, he didn't want Mingfu to see his already reddened eyes, this goodbye, I was afraid that it would be a goodbye between him and Mingfu: "Of course, you get out, I don't want to see you again, don't bother me again." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Mingfu's voice was full of determination, Mingfu turned to leave, Zhao Nan turned around again, looking at the back of Mingfu leaving, Mingfu's heart was really broken, she was so desperate and full of hatred, that she didn't have any nostalgia to turn back.

If Mingfu could look back, if she saw Zhao Nan's reluctant gaze and the dejected appearance, would she stop leaving, and would the ending be different.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Mingfu didn't know what kind of mood she was in when she left the Luoyang Palace, maybe she was numb to the pain, and she didn't feel a little anymore. I don't want to look back, but I just think blankly about where my future is. Chang'an has no place for Mingfu, only Jinling, returning to the original place is Mingfu's only choice.

Back to the beginning, without that unexpected acquaintance, there would be no subsequent harm.

Mingfu rode alone, but heard the sound of the army marching in the distance, Mingfu was worried that he would meet Li Junzhi's people, and when the time came, he would be caught, and Mingfu could only die. Mingfu found a hidden place, prepared to hide first, and waited until the group had passed before continuing to leave here.

But Mingfu didn't expect that after the arrivals got closer and closer, she found that these people were not the people brought by Li Junzhi at all, and the person led by them turned out to be Tang Changyu. Mingfu looked at Tang Changyu's frowning brows, and knew that he must be worried and anxious, but what made Mingfu strange was that there was no one else around Tang Changyu, and it stands to reason that Liuning must be with Tang Changyu at this time.

Mingfu seemed to see a little hope again, although she hated Zhao Nan, but she still couldn't bear it, watching Zhao Nan fall into the trap of the woman who was scheming and couldn't extricate herself, and finally lost herself, and ended up with an unfaithful and unrighteous death, and now, the only one who could save him was Tang Changyu.

Mingfu couldn't control so much, so he appeared directly in front of the army led by Tang Changyu, those unknown people didn't know who Mingfu was, thinking that it was an assassin who suddenly appeared, and he picked up weapons to attack Mingfu, but Tang Changyu severely stopped the two, those people didn't know why Tang Changyu did this, but they could only obey orders.

Tang Changyu was shocked and surprised by Mingfu's appearance here, he knew that something important must have happened to make Mingfu choose to face them, Tang Changyu did not dare to slack off, and ordered his subordinates to continue to move forward quickly, while he and Mingfu found a very remote place to talk.

When it was time to ensure that the surrounding environment was safe and no one would come, Tang Changyu took the lead in asking: "Xiaofu, why are you here, have you seen Zhao Nan?" ”

Ming Fu nodded undoubtedly and said, "I'm here to tell you about the situation of the Luoyang Palace, don't ask first, listen to me after I finish speaking." ”

"You have to hurry to Luoyang Palace, now you are the only one who can save Zhao Nan and the emperor, I don't know what kind of news you got so you came to Luoyang Palace to rescue you, let me tell you, the real situation is that this is a conspiracy, all of this is planned by Li Junzhi."

"Li Junzhi is the person of the first prince Li Jiancheng, he is scheming, just to seize the country, from the time he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and came to Chang'an, he began to plan, he asked me to monitor every minister in Huamanlou, find those who can be used by him, and distinguish them from those ministers who are only loyal to the emperor."

"His initial plan was to create some turmoil and get rid of the loyal and available talents around the emperor, including interfering in the imperial examination, Lin Yilan's father, Lin Qingxuan, the old general, the former crown prince Li Chengqian, and countless loyal ministers and good generals, in fact, were all killed by Li Junzhi's design."

"Get rid of the emperor's right-hand man, he will take the throne again, it is like taking a bag, he has harmed you many times, but he has not succeeded, only then did he think of killing you all in this final battle. Zhao Nan has been used by him, he rebelled with Wanyan and surrounded the emperor, if you don't save him and stop him, he will only have a dead end! ”

"Moreover, Li Junzhi's plan is not that he really wants to assist Wanyan's son Li Huan, the king of Jiang, to be the emperor, but that he wants to use Zhao Nan's forces and Wanyan, and after they succeed in taking the emperor, it will be easy for Li Junzhi to take them again, and it can be heard from Li Junzhi's tone that he should have a secret army."

Secret Army? Tang Changyu chuckled in his heart when he heard this, thinking of the relationship between Liuning and Liubin and Li Junzhi, Tang Changyu's back couldn't help but chill, that secret army, could it be that Liubin organized in the Turks? The current situation is not as simple as chaos.

Mingfu looked at Tang Changyu's thoughtful look, and added: "Changyu, you have no reason not to believe what I say, and I have no reason to lie to you, I admit that I used to be Li Junzhi's subordinate, and I also admit that I hate Zhao Nan, but I cherish everything that happened to me and you in Chang'an, I treat Zhao Nan and you all as family." Now that the situation is critical, time is pressing, you are their only hope, and only you can turn things around. ”

Tang Changyu nodded, looked at Mingfu again and said, "I know, I will do my best." Do you want to come with me? ”

Mingfu lowered his head, smiled bitterly and said, "No, I'm leaving Chang'an, he doesn't need me." ”

Tang Changyu was speechless for a while, and Mingfu said as if she remembered something: "By the way, A-Ning, why didn't she join you, or did you go your separate ways?" ”

Now it can be regarded as talking about Tang Changyu's sadness and worry, Tang Changyu sighed and said: "This matter is a long story, in fact, Li Junzhi is the uncle of Liuning and Liubin, they are Li Jiancheng's sons and daughters, and they escaped death back then, the only bloodline of the Li family. ”

Mingfu looked at Tang Changyu with wide eyes, her mouth was big, and she looked incredible, Tang Changyu nodded painfully, and said: "A-Ning just knew about this matter, she was stimulated a lot, and it was difficult to accept this reality for a while, I knocked her out and stayed at home, I don't know if she is okay now." ”

Tang Changyu raised his eyes to look at Ming Fu, and asked with a hint of pleading: "Xiaofu, can I ask you for one thing, I really don't feel at ease when A-Ning stays in Chang'an alone, can I ask you to go see her for me and help me persuade her?" ”

Mingfu nodded, and the two of them separated, heading in different directions.

Mingfu thought a lot on the way to Chang'an, in fact, she didn't plan to go back to Chang'an, but wanted to take another way to go back to Jinling directly, because of Tang Changyu's escape, she changed her mind. Mingfu thought, it's good to go back and see, go back to see the person she loves the most, and see the happiest place in her life, if nothing else, this should be the last time she will step into Chang'an City in her life.

Mingfu couldn't help but recall the night she left here, she seemed to say very serious things to the people she loved the most, that kind of damage was irreparable for her, the crack between the two people, not to say that it could be filled, Mingfu was a little nervous, a little apprehensive.

From Tang Changyu's words, Mingfu knew that Liuning's condition should be very bad, something she had never seen bad, which made Mingfu even more flustered, a little afraid of Liuning, and didn't know how to say the first word to Liuning, because she couldn't estimate how much damage such an accident had caused to Liuning.

But Mingfu remembered that in the past, Liuning had risked death to save her life, they had fought side by side on the battlefield, born and died, Liuning treated her like a sister, cared for her, and their happy time together made Mingfu feel that they were a pair of sisters.

Good sisters are in trouble, how can Mingfu not come to the rescue.

Mingfu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurried back to Chang'an without resting, Chang'an City looked the same as before, in just a few months, it did not leave any traces in its millennium years, Mingfu didn't dare to think about it, and rushed to Liuning.
