108 Disillusionment with the Mujia family
The matter of Situ Qiannan's head hanging at the gate of Suicheng City quickly spread throughout Tianji City, if it wasn't for Ling Jiantong to hold Situ Qianchen in time, I'm afraid that Situ Qianchen would have broken into Suicheng a hundred miles away single-handedly.
Suicheng was originally the city of the Tianyuan Kingdom, but since it was occupied by the Jingyuan Sect, it has become the base camp of the Jingyuan Sect.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to freezing point again.
Situ Qianchen's meaning was very clear, he was going to snatch Situ Qiannan's body back from the hands of the Jingyuan Sect.
But Mu Zhen considered that there were too many Jingyuan Sect disciples stationed in Suicheng, and this rash move was equivalent to a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger, he was really afraid, and there was no return.
At this time, several lieutenants who were not afraid of death stood up and suggested to Mu Zhen: "Lord Wang, your subordinates, you might as well report this matter to the emperor first, and wait for the emperor to make a ruling." β
Mu Jinghong shook the paper fan lightly and sneered: "The capital is five hundred miles away from here, I'm afraid that when the emperor's order comes down, those cult people don't know what moths they will come up with." β
"Seventh Prince, what you said is not right, we reported to the emperor, not only about General Zhaoyong, but also to ask the emperor to send reinforcements, so that the Jingyuan Sect in Suicheng can be wiped out in order to eliminate future troubles."
When Mu Jinghong heard this, he couldn't help laughing, got up and looked at the lieutenant generals and said, "Catch them all?" A couple of lieutenants are just joking, right? Do you know the actual situation in the Pure Abyss Sect? It's not clear how many sect members they have, and whether the minions of the Pure Yuan Sect are still all over the other cities of our dynasty, so do you want to talk about cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots? β
Several lieutenant generals were obviously not convinced, and asked rhetorically: "The subordinates really don't know, the Seventh Prince's words are so clear, can the Seventh Prince's Seventh Prince's know?" β
"As far as I know, there are five elders in the Jingyuan Sect, following the Five Elements Doctrine, and the disciples are all over the cities of the Tianyuan Kingdom, but the most concentrated ones are in Suicheng, Yecheng and Yuri City, and there are at least five thousand disciples in Suicheng City, and they are all elite soldiers."
"Then according to what the Seventh Prince said, in this Suicheng, we will be even more unmoved."
Mu Jinghong closed the folding fan, and only said with a clever plan: "I have studied the topography of Suicheng, if I rely on the local topography and use some strategies, I think it is not impossible to severely damage the Jingyuan Sect." β
Several lieutenant generals simply scoffed at Mu Jinghong's statement: "The Seventh Prince is idle all day in the capital, how come he began to know how to arrange troops when he arrived here?" β
Ordinary people were sarcastic when they heard it, Mu Jinghong's eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, when Situ Qianchen, who had not spoken for a long time, stood up.
Everyone's attention suddenly shifted to him.
"Flying pigeon biography, play the emperor, I'm here to wait for news."
Situ Qianchen said these words, which made Ling Jiantong and Mu Jinghong shocked, and before they could persuade him, Situ Qianchen had already walked out of the gate of the hall.
Although Mu Zhen didn't know which one Situ Qianchen was singing, this performance of the emperor was beneficial to him and harmless.
Mu Jinghong and Ling Jiantong followed Situ Qianchen to catch up, and Mu Jinghong took the lead and said unfairly: "Second brother, just now you still wanted to go to Suicheng alone and bring back the corpse of Brother Qiannan, why are you ...... now?"
Situ Qianchen stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes were deep, and he said after a long time: "Third brother, you don't care about this matter, you go back to the capital first." β
Mu Jinghong frowned: "Why?" Brother Qiannan's body hasn't fallen yet, I won't go back! β
Situ Qianchen's cold eyes shrank slightly, and his tone was cold: "The eldest brother's injury can't be delayed, but the eldest brother can be handed over to Gong Chuyue, I really don't feel at ease, I have already lost my brother, and I can't let the eldest brother have any mistakes." β
This is reasonable, but no matter how you listen to it, it seems that Situ Qianchen is making excuses to drive him away.
"Second brother, ...... you" Mu Jinghong was about to retort, but was stopped by a plate of Ling Jiantong, she shook her head lightly, and motioned Mu Jinghong to stop talking about it first.
Mu Jinghong had no choice but to give up, and before leaving, he didn't forget to throw down a sentence: "I don't care what the second brother has in his heart, even if the eldest brother wakes up, I think, he will definitely agree that the three of us brothers are in the same place, second brother, you can't take me away." β
Situ Qianchen listened to it in his ears, but the coldness in his eyes did not fade by half a minute.
Looking at Mu Jinghong's somewhat angry figure gradually leaving, Ling Jiantong sighed lightly, and she and Situ Qianchen were left in the empty verandah at this moment.
"Situ, what's wrong with you?" Ling Jiantong's hand covered his sleeve and asked softly.
Situ Qianchen lowered his eyes, his body subconsciously took a step back, the temperature in Ling Jiantong's palm gradually disappeared, but he waited for his words: "Jiantong, I'm tired, I'll go back to the room to rest first." β
Without waiting for Ling Jiantong's answer, Situ Qianchen went straight down the verandah.
Ling Jiantong's hand stopped in mid-air, and her eyes looking at his back were full of worry, she had never felt so really, when did the distance between her and Situ Qianchen become so strange.
A day and a night passed like this, Situ Qianchen sat in the room, day and night did not close his eyes, he was waiting, waiting for what kind of explanation the emperor would give to the Situ family after all.
"Bang!"
The door opened, a large amount of light entered, and the dark room suddenly became brighter, Situ Qianchen sat on the soft couch, the dazzling sunlight shone into his eyes, it was very painful, but he did not blink for half a minute, but raised his eyes to meet the sun, looking at the comer.
Mu Jinghong stood in front of Situ Qianchen like this with a piece of paper, his expression was a little complicated, Situ Qianchen looked down at the letterhead in his hand, he seemed to see the result.
"How? Did the emperor say anything? Situ Qianchen's voice was a little hoarse.
If you can, Mu Jinghong really can't wait to throw it into the brazier and burn it the moment he sees the letterhead, the Situ family is the founding father of the Tianyuan Kingdom, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court, but now the emperor waved his hand, just a single sentence of "return to the dynasty and discuss again" can erase all the merits of the Situ family, which is too unfair.
Mu Jinghong gritted his teeth, he didn't know how to say it, and he didn't know how Situ Qianchen would react after saying it.
Seeing that Mu Jinghong was reluctant to speak, Situ Qianchen had probably guessed it, and he asked coldly: "Does the emperor ignore my brother?" β
Mu Jinghong continued to remain silent.
Situ Qianchen's hand on the table wanted to clench, but for some reason he didn't have the slightest strength at the moment.
In an instant, he seemed to understand all of a sudden, Situ Heng's mood when he left the Zhenguo Mansion, for so many years, he had always thought that it was reluctance, but in fact, it was just the disappointment after seeing through the Tianyuan Kingdom.
His Situ family has worked hard for the Tianyuan Mu family for several generations, resisting foreign enemies, and even risking their lives to fight on the battlefield, but in the eyes of the emperor of the Mu family, they should do all this.
The battle was won, and he was divided into knights, and he was left to choose.
If the battle is defeated, you can only return to the court to discuss again, and you don't even care about the corpse.
This is the Mu family, this is the emperor of the Mu family that Situ Qiannan has protected until his death.
Situ Qianchen closed his eyes slightly, slowly stood up, the dazzling light hit his body, he walked towards the door of the room step by step, in his sight, he seemed to see Situ Qiannan standing not far away carrying water and watering flowers.
Brother, they don't care about you, but my brother will definitely take you home.
Ling Jiantong was guarding outside the house, her face full of anxiety, until she saw Situ Qianchen walking out of the house, his expression seemed to be a little wrong, she went up, grabbed his cold hand and called, "Situ." β
Situ Qianchen didn't seem to hear it, his hand gradually withdrew from Ling Jiantong's palm, and walked straight forward.
Ling Jiantong was really afraid to see Situ Qianchen's appearance, she had been worried for a few days and nights, she was really afraid that Situ Qianchen would not be able to think about it......
"Situ ......" Ling Jiantong tried to chase after her, but as soon as she took a step forward, the world suddenly turned upside down, and as soon as it was dark in front of her, she fell to the ground and fainted.
Mu Jinghong was shocked, and hurriedly ran out of the house, hugged Ling Jiantong, who fell to the ground unconscious, and called eagerly: "Eyes, eyes, wake up!" β
After a long long journey to Tianji City, and day and night, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to sleep well, and I am afraid that no one can support it.
Mu Jinghong raised his eyes, and shouted at Situ Qianchen's back regardless of it: "Second brother, Brother Qiannan has already left, do you want anything to happen to your eyes?" β
Situ Qianchen paused, his dark eyes seemed to reveal a little light, he turned to look at Ling Jiantong who fell to the ground in front of the room, his heart was already dead, and for some reason, he moved.
Ling Jiantong didn't know how long, he hadn't slept so soundly, there was no appearance of Situ Qianchen going crazy and killing people because of Situ Qiannan's death, and there was no terrifying moment when the disciples of the Jingyuan Sect inserted all their swords into Situ Qianchen's body, there was only silence in the dream, a blank silence.
Situ Qianchen stood in front of Ling Jiantong's bed, holding her hand tightly, but he remained silent.
Mu Jinghong was extremely distressed by Ling Jiantong, and unconsciously opened his mouth: "Second brother, I haven't told you one thing, yesterday my eyes were afraid that something would happen to you, so I kept watch at the door of your room all night, and she didn't close her eyes all night." β
There are people outside the house, how can Situ Qianchen not know?
"Second brother, Brother Qiannan is gone, this is a fact that there is no way to change, Yan'er is your fiancΓ©e, and the only remaining relative in your world, you really can't let anything happen to Yan'er anymore."
Situ Qianchen pressed the back of Ling Jiantong's hand to his cheek, and the depths of his eyes were full of Ling Jiantong's sleeping appearance, and he muttered back after a long time: "I know." β
