Volume 1 The Orphan Girl of the Imperial Capital Chapter 172 The End of the World
Because of a sudden heavy rain, the imperial capital fell into a boil. The people took to the streets one after another, constantly bowing to God sincerely, thanking him for not killing them all after all.
As the joy of the rain spread, there was also a piece of news: at the gate of the Emperor's Mansion, in order to prove that the marriage between him and the lord of Leping was a match made in heaven, King Ning'an set up an incense case to ask the heavens for rain, and the integrity moved the heavens and rained down......
People took to the streets, laughing and crying to express their joy.
The big red sedan chair to welcome the relatives was crowded with people like when they came, and they struggled to move forward. However, when they came, everyone was desperately blocking and preventing the marriage from being finalized, but now they are scrambling to send blessings, and some people even secretly touch the sedan chair or the escort guards, wanting to get some joy.
The people followed the welcoming procession, cheering all the way, and the posture was eager to step forward and carry the people who greeted the relatives with their shoulders.
Mu Yunlan sat in the sedan chair, lifted her hijab and looked at the people on both sides through the small window. Their faces were full of excitement, and their smiles were extremely gorgeous, and they couldn't help but have complicated feelings in their hearts when they didn't see the appearance of being full of anger before.
The people have very few pursuits, they only hope that the country will be peaceful, that there will be no war, that there will be food and that they will be accompanied by their families, and that it is enough to be safe and secure. Such a requirement is really not high, but many people in power cannot meet it.
Yue Jingxuan sat on the horse, and the raindrops dripped down his cheeks. Tianshu handed over the umbrella, but he shook his head and refused. This rain has not only been long-awaited by the people, but also by him.
With this rain, in the future, whoever dares to make a fuss about his marriage with Yun Lan will not need him to do it, and the anger of the people will be enough to drown him.
At this time, in the palace, Yue Jingxuan angrily slashed the guards who entered the door to report, and then swept the things on the table to the ground.
"Rain? It's raining? Why, why is Yue Jingxuan's luck so good, I don't believe it, I don't believe it! ”
Zhaoqing knelt on the ground, his face full of worry: "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body." ”
"Hehe, take care of the dragon body, who still cares about my life or death at this time?"
"Your Majesty, it's just a rain, and it won't change anything."
"You know what! This is not a rain, this is a war letter from Yue Jingxuan. Yue Jingyun walked to the throne with a gloomy face, and clasped the dragon head on the armrest of the seat.
In the past, although Yue Jingxuan's power was huge, he had always developed in the five states of Yunnan, and it was because of this that he failed to realize his antipathy at the first time, and then wanted to extinguish the fire and it had become a raging fire.
And three years ago, when he came to the imperial capital, he gradually expanded his power outward, but he rarely moved to the courtiers, making him think that everything still had room for maneuver, but he underestimated Yue Jingxuan's ambitions.
Also, if it was him, he was robbed of the throne and poisoned and tortured for so many years, how could he not want to retaliate......
"Yue Jingxuan, from today onwards, he won't hold back anymore......" A wolf finally showed its fangs, Yue Jingyun closed his eyes, but his eyelids were constantly trembling.
"Your Majesty, things may not have happened like this." Zhaoqing cautiously persuaded.
"No, for so many years, I have been paying attention to Yue Jingxuan all the time, and I can be said to know him well, the reason why he has endured it many times before, and even made it look like he was oppressed by me, is to fight back today and give me a head-on blow. Now, he enjoyed watching me go mad, and he moved forward step by step, forcing me to the edge of a cliff, like a hunter driving his prey, feeling its fear and struggle......"
Yue Jingyun felt a chill into the bone marrow, and with the flow of blood, it spread all over the limbs, and the slightest movement was a rattle.
Zhaoqing glanced at Yue Jingyun's trembling fingers, and hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look, isn't the emperor in front of him like a trapped beast with nowhere to escape? I just don't know who will be the final winner in this battle.
"Your Majesty, you sit on the world, no matter how powerful King Ning'an is, he is just a prince, even if he pours the manpower of the five states of Yunnan, it is difficult to fight against the heroic army of my Dayong Kingdom."
"Yes, you're right, I still have the army, I ......" Thinking of the army, Yue Jingyun couldn't help but think of Wei Guogong and the Mu family.
Mu Zhengmin is a fierce general, leading the army to guard the border for many years, the border is peaceful, Yun Rou is discouraged, he has led the army for many years, and his prestige in the army is very high, but he died......
Zhaoqing obviously thought of this as well, and lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Xuan ...... Xuan Li Jing came, and I had something to discuss with him. In the past, when he encountered this kind of thing, he always consulted with Ningzhou, because Ningzhou understood his mind better, just like the plan to trap and kill Mu Zhengmin was formulated by Ningzhou for him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly thought that Ning's family had been copied by him.
Outside Bezhuang, the team to see off relatives has arrived. Red blankets are spread from the entrance to the main hall.
Yue Jingxuan was followed by his subordinates, and instead of shooting arrows and kicking the sedan car door according to the current rules, he directly bent down and led Mu Yunlan out.
"Yun Lan, I will hold you, don't be afraid."
Under the hijab, Mu Yunlan's eyes trembled suddenly, her pounding heart instantly fell back to its original place, and a sense of peace of mind slowly spread, making her involuntarily respond with a smile, and then realized that through the hijab, Uncle Huang should not be able to see it.
Yue Jingxuan held her hand, accommodating her steps, and slowly walked towards the main hall.
Both of their parents are gone, and their relatives are even more scarce. And because this wedding was not favored, there were no officials who even came to congratulate him, and the hall was very empty.
At this time, in the position of Gao Tang, Mu Jianyu and Lin Zi'an sat on the left and right, and the two old men also put aside their prejudices at this time, and looked at the couple who walked in hand with a relaxed face.
The two stood still in front of the futon, and the ceremonial officer sang loudly and:
"Worship Heaven and Earth......
"Two Worship High Hall ......"
“……”
Yue Jingxuan carried a pious mind, and the etiquette was solemn and sacred, for fear that there would be a little mistake or omission, and the whole wedding would be flawed.
Mu Yunlan listened to Mu Jianyu's voice, and then she knew that her grandfather was also here, and she couldn't help but be moved in her heart.
She had never told Uncle Huang, but for the old man in front of her, she had a lot of guilt and reluctance in her heart, if he was not present at the wedding, it would definitely be a big regret in her life. And today, Uncle Huang has fulfilled all her wishes.
"Send to the cave!"
There were very few people invited to the wedding of the two, and all the guests together couldn't even make up a table.
Yue Jingxuan didn't want to look too lonely, and turned his head to Tianshu to signal: "The wedding of this king and Yun Lan is proved by the sky, and the people of the imperial capital will come to witness it together. ”
"Yes, lord."
The people who came to Beizhuang were stunned when they heard the news, and then the cheers became louder, and all kinds of blessings continued to overflow, as if the entire imperial capital was lively because of this wedding.
Yue Jingxuan sent Mu Yunlan to the new house, leaned over and uncovered her hijab.
Suddenly bright in front of her, Mu Yunlan couldn't help blinking her eyes, Yue Jingxuan's handsome face came into view, beautiful as if she was in a fantasy world: "Uncle Huang......"
Yue Jingxuan looked at her with a smile, and reached out to caress her cheek: "Lady, are you willing to accompany your husband to the end of the world?" ”
Mu Yunlan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slowly, and the gorgeous starlight slowly flowed in her eyes: "Marrying a husband, let alone dying in the world, even if you die together, why don't you dare?" ”
Yue Jingxuan's fingers trembled slightly, and he didn't even dare to touch her hard, for fear that if he exerted a little force, he would find that everything in front of him was a beautiful illusion.
She was wearing a red wedding dress, the skirt was gracefully dragged to the ground, and the phoenix tail feathers embroidered with gold thread on it were shining, echoing the seven-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, and the beauty seemed to be a fairy falling from the sky.
Yue Jingxuan felt the irregular beating of his heart, and only felt that if it was a dream now, it would be good for him to never wake up from a dream, Yun Lan was his salvation, and today, he finally grasped this salvation firmly in his hands.
Mu Yunlan didn't notice his caution, reached out and held his palm, ten fingers intersected, gentle and lingering: "Uncle Huang, then let's go?" ”
A heart floating in the sky was pulled back to the ground by her words, Yue Jingxuan nodded, picked her up by the waist, strode out of the door, and walked straight to the side courtyard, and then did not see him have any extra movements, and with a light tiptoe, he took her over the water and the courtyard wall, and fell directly into the mountains and forests behind.
When Mu Yunlan's horse saw its master, it moved its hooves back and forth, neighing softly.
Yue Jingxuan jumped onto the white horse with her in his arms, and then rode westward.
The rain is fine, and it is not cool in the dreary summer, but it makes people feel fresh and cool.
Mu Yunlan was encircled by Yue Jingxuan, her back was against his chest, and she only felt extremely relieved.
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves approached, and Mu Yunlan turned his head to see Tianshu and other guards.
Yue Jingxuan lowered his head and approached her ear: "Your guards and Qingsleeve and others have already left the city, we will go and meet them now, and then immediately set off for Yunnan." ”
Mu Yunlan was not surprised, when she agreed to marry him, she considered all kinds of consequences, and she was even more faintly aware of his intentions in the past few days.
She represents the Mu family and the Lin family, Yue Jingyun definitely does not sit back and watch the imperial uncle marry her, even if the wedding is carried out in a clever way, Yue Jingyun is afraid that he will immediately attack, the imperial uncle's forces are all in Yunnan, and there is no way to compete with him in the imperial capital.
"Uncle Huang, what about grandpa and grandfather?"
"It's all arranged, Yue Jingyun's target is us, and it's too risky for grandpa and grandfather to go with us, so I have people escort them to leave by other roads. You don't have to worry, and Jiangnan's uncles, I have already arranged it. ”
Mu Yunlan leaned back, and the whole person relaxed: "Uncle Huang, you are the best." ”
Listening to the coquettish meaning unconsciously carried by her last note, Yue Jingxuan only felt as if there was an electric current running through his back, making him involuntarily hold the person in his arms tighter.
