Chapter 47: Drunken crying
The carriage galloped wildly, and after four days of non-stop, it finally arrived at the camp of the army at the front on the fifth day.
Mu Yunqi was speechless all the way, and seemed to accept his fate and no longer struggle.
On the way, she didn't ask Nangong He again, and she didn't dare to look out the window again. She was afraid that the sight she passed by would make her uncomfortable, so she avoided not wanting to see the beacon fire, and did not want to see the misery that she had brought to the people.
After being brought into the barracks, she quietly did not take a single step in the tent.
In another tent, Nangong He leaned over the table, holding a pen and swaying three big characters on rice paper.
——— "Three Rivers Convergence"
He dried the rice paper he had written, then folded it and put it into the letter.
"Give it to Gu Hanxuan." Nangong He commanded, and handed the letter to the man standing in the middle of the camp.
Feng Qing took the letter and put it in his arms, bowed down and exited the tent.
When night fell, torches were held everywhere outside the tent of the barracks, and from a distance, dense lights lit up under the endless night.
Nangong He walked from his tent to Mu Yunqi's tent, he stopped outside the tent and looked at it, and there was a cluster of fire reflected inside.
The letter sent to Gu Hanxuan at noon today, and I received a reply from him in the evening, he wanted to meet tomorrow on the Broken Arm Mountain, and promised to exchange "Mountains and Rivers Hui" for Mu Yunqi.
A pair of patrolling soldiers came from ahead of him.
"See the Emperor." The soldiers shouted in unison.
Nangong He frowned, waved his hand, and motioned for them to continue patrolling.
The soldiers, torches in their hands, walked past him in orderly steps.
After the soldiers left, he hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and stepped into the tent.
Mu Yunqi had already heard the sound outside the tent of Fang Cai's camp, and it was not surprising to see him come in at this moment.
She sat on a stool in the tent, and in front of her was a table with a jug of wine resting on it.
She quietly watched him walk in, picked up the wine glass in her hand, and drank it all with her head up.
"How did you remember to drink?" Nangong He walked to her side and snatched the wine glass from her hand.
Mu Yunqi smiled and said, "But I want to drink some wine, I don't want to think too much about myself, and I don't want to think back to the pictures I saw along the way." ”
She watched him put away the wine jug in front of him and put it on the table table on the other side, she suddenly lay on the table, looked at her sideways, and asked, "Nangong He, you really can't remember the events of that year?" Tears welled up in her eyes, down the corner of her eye on the table.
Nangong He looked at her and asked, "What year?" ”
Mu Yunqi lay on the table and recalled: "That year, my mother and I just arrived in the Haoyue Palace in Jinguo, and my mother went to see your father and asked me to wait for her in the room. There was a lot of noise outside, and I went out of the yard in anger, but I saw you under a peach tree, coaxing the girl on the tree to come down. ”
She paused, and seeing that Nangong He seemed to be thinking, she said again: "At that time, I was thinking that a girl actually climbed into a tree with such indecent behavior. I went under the tree and preached to the girl, but the girl was so unruly that she jumped down from the tree and threw herself on me, knocking me to the ground. I was confused for a moment until you pulled her away, crouched down and asked me if I was okay. ”
Nangong He looked at her and shook his head, as if he didn't remember it.
Mu Yunqi was a little disappointed, and said melancholy: "Do you know that you asked me so gently that year, and your bright smile was the most beautiful and warm smile I have ever seen in this life." ”
"Yun Yin ......" Although he knew her intentions, he was shocked and seemed to be mixed with joy at the same time when he heard her tell her so bluntly.
Mu Yunqi got up from the table, looked at him, and sobbed: "Even though I lost my memory later, after meeting you in the woods, I was still intoxicated by your smile, but you—never remembered me. Her voice was weeping, tears streaming down her beautiful countenance.
After hearing this, Nangong He's heart tightened, and an indescribable dull pain welled up in his heart, making him feel as uncomfortable as if his breathing had been suffocated.
Mu Yunqi seemed to be a little drunk, her face was crimson, and her eyes looked at the dim candle flame in a daze.
She stood up, walked over to another table, and picked up the flask.
Nangong He quickly stepped forward and snatched the wine jug from her hand, helped her up, and said, "You are drunk." ”
"I didn't." Mu Yunqi stood up straight, wanting to prove his sobriety.
"Don't drink it." He whispered softly, helping her to sit down on the stool.
He walked out of the tent with the wine jug, and when he returned to the tent, Mu Yunqi was lying on the table again.
He thought she was asleep on the table, but when he got closer, he saw her staring at a corner of the tent with her bright eyes open.
"When will you send me back to Gu Hanxuan?" Her voice was a little choked, and her tone was faint with a hint of sadness.
Nangong He looked at her black hair that fell on the table, and the tenderness in her eyes was hidden little by little.
"Tomorrow." His voice was calm, and no emotions could be heard.
Mu Yunqi lay on the table and smiled, and a beautiful and pleasant laugh came out of the tent.
"If I return to the Northland, will this war end?"
Nangong He was silent for a while, thinking that it would be stopped? Is it the rise of the troubled times in the world, or the end of the war?
He didn't actually know, he only understood that if he got "Mountains and Rivers", he would unify the world and rebuild the Yu Dynasty hundreds of years ago, the mountains and rivers in the world would be one, and the people would be happy and prosperous.
He will be the only king in this world, and no one can shake him.
He walked to her side and sat down, stretched out his hand to caress her hair, and said softly: "You are lonely, and the world will be lonely." ”
Mu Yunqi raised his head and looked at him with a confused expression.
"I don't understand what you mean?" She shook her head and said, as if suddenly awake.
Nangong He walked outside the tent and ordered someone to bring a cup of tea, he took the teacup and poured out a cup of tea, and at the moment of pouring the water, the powder in the sleeve of his sleeve entered the cup along the tea.
He shook the tea and reached out to her.
Mu Yunqi didn't see his actions clearly, and when he saw the water he poured under his eyes, he took a sip without doubt.
"Everything will end, this war will end, and you—and you—will come back to me." His gaze was affectionate on her, with a determined smile on his face.
Mu Yunqi raised a bitter smile and said, "The lord of the country said that I am laughing, I will only be the queen of the northern country, and you will not be the queen of the Jin country." ”
Nangong He's shining eyes looked at her face, and said solemnly: "There will be a day." ”
He said it vaguely, and she listened confusedly.
Mu Yunqi lay on the table and gradually fell asleep, he carried her to the couch and walked out of her tent softly.
Looking at the starry sky, an indescribable pain rose in his heart.
In order to prevent her from becoming Gu Hanxuan's person, he just put condensation poison in her tea, which was the poison he saw in a book in the secret room of Haoyue Palace.
At the moment, Mu Yunqi is still a virgin, and after taking this poison, it will lie dormant in her body, and it will not cause her the slightest damage.
If Gu Hanxuan was lucky enough to kill her, the toxin of this poison would be transferred to his body and quickly circulate all over his body, which would be painful.
He admits that he is despicable, but he doesn't want to lose her for the sake of the world, so he has to do it.
When he unifies the world, he will share the country with her and allow her to be prosperous.
