However, just when the two were entangled, the courtyard door was kicked open with a 'bang'!

At the opening of the door, it was Mu Ling standing outside the door with a frosty face.

The courtyard was not lit, and the sky was completely dark, and the sparse starlight was hazy in the courtyard.

There was no light, and at first glance, Mu Lingzhi couldn't see clearly who was pressing on Yu Ruyan's body, but the raging anger in his heart had turned into a fierce murderous aura, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the soft sword 'Zheng' in his waist popped out, and it was already stabbing towards the knife quickly.

The moment the door was kicked open, the sound of that 'bang' had already shaken the knife, and he looked towards the door in a daze, but before he could react, Mu Lingzhi's sword had already stabbed over.

He turned over and dodged, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't dodge Mu Ling's ghost-like swordsmanship, and finally pierced his arm! ·

Severe pain struck, the knife completely woke up, and when he saw Mu Lingzhi's non-stop second sword attack, he suddenly stopped dodging, and stood there stunned, with a weird and desperate sneer on his lips, watching the long sword stab at his chest......

"No, he's a knife!" At the last moment, Yu Ruyan, who was in a fright, finally reacted, and shouted this sentence in a flash of lightning and thunder.

Mu Lingzhi was frightened by her words, and at the last moment, he forcibly retracted his sword momentum, his expression was suffocated, and even his breathing was equally suffocated, and he looked at the person standing in front of him incredibly-

Only then, under the cold moonlight, standing still in front of him, his arm was bleeding, and the person who let him stab him turned out to be his own brother, Mu Chenzhi, who had just become the crown prince.

The four looked at each other, and the two brothers were stunned on the spot.

Tong Qian and Brother An were also frightened by the scene in front of them, and when the lights were lit, Mu Lingzhi actually saw a strange cold light flashing in Xiao Dao's dark eyes!

The lights around him were all lit up, and the long sword in Mu Lingzhi's hand still maintained its original posture, staring blankly at the knife, the sharp tip of the sword with blood stains was less than an inch from the knife's chest, and half a minute further, he died under his own sword.

He could have dodged, why didn't he dodge, what the hell was he going to do?

Mu Ling's heart was shocked, and he looked at Mu Chenzhi in front of him in disbelief, and the terrible thoughts that came out of his heart frightened him-

Could it be that he deliberately stood and did not hide, just to let himself stab him, and then ......

The thought flashed in his heart, and Mu Lingzhi's back was immediately soaked in cold sweat.

His first sword pierced the knife's left arm, and the edge of the sword was so sharp that there was no blood, but the blood was gushing out, and in less than a moment it was already soaking half of his body.

Yu Ruyan suppressed the panic in her heart, stepped forward to stop the sword in Mu Lingzhi's hand, and asked someone to bring gauze to bandage the wound of the knife, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, it's just a knife to look for you, it's too dark and there is no light in the courtyard, he accidentally tripped and fell on the edge of the recliner, and I ...... And I've been sleeping, and I've just woken up. ”

Mu Lingzhi's heart was chaotic and hateful, he believed that he was not mistaken, but he also knew that this kind of thing must not be spread outside, if the father and mother knew about it, the consequences would not be similar!

Not to mention that King Liang couldn't bear his two sons fighting for a woman, just because he had always protected his shortcomings and attached great importance to the mother of their two brothers, if he knew that because of Yu Ruyan's estrangement between their two brothers, they would still meet each other, but I was afraid that with the temperament of his mother, the first thing he thought of was to kill Yu Ruyan and cut off the thoughts in the hearts of his two sons......

Layers of fine sweat spread down his back, and Mu Lingzhi felt helpless and uneasy, even painful, for the second time.

The first time he felt this way was when he said goodbye to Yu Ruyan and lost her news and couldn't find her, he couldn't find any trace of her in the eastern capital. At that time, he was just like now, helpless, sad, desperate and painful!

And now, seeing that his own brother is in love with the same woman as himself, Mu Lingzhi, who has always been calm and self-assured, has lost all his ideas!

Two brothers fall in love with a woman at the same time, how to solve such a situation?

Just like the knife misses him, Mu Lingzhi is also helpless about the knife-

If someone else dared to peep at Yu Ruyan, he would have already killed him with a sword, but in front of him was his own brother, his own brother who he finally found back, and now he is the prince of Da Liang, the future king of Liang, what can he do?

But it is impossible for him to give up Yu Ruyan-

He can give him the power of the Liang Wanli River, or he can give up his life to help him fight for the country, but it is absolutely impossible for him to accept Yu Ruyan.

The brothers stood stunned and did not speak again.

Mu Lingzhi's deep eyes were filled with anger and helplessness, and the obsidian-like eyes of the knife were also angry and unwilling!

The moonlight shone on the two of them, and the frost on the two brothers almost froze the entire courtyard.

Yu Ruyan gritted her teeth to suppress the trembling in her heart, waved her hand to let Brother An and the others go down, and closed the courtyard door, leaving only the three of them in the courtyard.

The wound on the knife's arm had been bandaged and no longer bleeding, and he stared vacantly at the nothingness in front of him, and he didn't look directly at his injured arm and his brother on the other side.

His heart is also tormented, that is, he doesn't want to see his brother with the woman he loves the most, but he also knows that he will hurt his brother and Yu Ruyan by doing so.

Unwilling to collide fiercely with guilt in his heart, he didn't have the face to see his brother, but he couldn't let go of Yu Ruyan, who loved the bone marrow, so he hoped that his brother could stab himself with a few more swords, maybe only in this way could he alleviate the guilt in his heart!

Yu Ruyan stood there embarrassed and confused, not knowing how to speak, and she didn't know whether to persuade Xiaodao to leave or persuade Mu Lingzhi to quench her anger.

Her heart trembled violently, and the two men in front of her, one was a family-like knife that she raised as her younger brother, and the other was the lover she recognized as a lifelong lover and a lover who would accompany her for a lifetime.

The situation in front of her was something she had never thought about, so she also stayed on the spot in fear, just staring nervously at the long sword in Mu Lingzhi's hand, and nervously paying attention to the expression of the knife-

If the two want to fight again, she doesn't know who to help, she can only stand in the middle and block the long swords of both sides!

The atmosphere was depressed and dull for a while, so that it was about to form cold frost!

was silent for a long time, and finally Mu Lingzhi spoke in a hoarse voice.

His hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and finally gritted his teeth and withdrew the sword back to his waist, and said coldly: "You just succeeded to the East Palace, what are you doing here so late, don't you know that the eldest brother has been looking for an opportunity to seek revenge on you?" ”

Although Mu Lingzhi's words were cold, the concern in them was still there. Hearing this, Xiaodao's heart was bitter, and the strength he pretended to be collapsed instantly......

He knew that for the sake of Yu Ruyan and the three of them, his brother chose to forgive him after all and not pursue his gaffe.

But the more this is the case, the more ashamed Xiao Dao feels in his heart, he would rather Mu Lingzhi beat him and scold him, or even kill him, rather than he is so generous to defend it.

At the same time, he knew that the more his brother pretended to be okay and ignored this matter, it meant that he would not give in to Yu Ruyan, even if he had great anger in his heart, he had to cover up this matter, just to be able to continue to be with his sister.

Knowing Mu Lingzhi's determination, Xiao Dao's heart was cold.

And when Yu Ruyan heard Mu Lingzhi speak, her hanging heart fell to the ground, she seemed to have regained her vitality, and she was grateful to Mu Lingzhi in her heart. I am grateful that he chose to settle the matter.

Xiao Dao said coldly: "If I am afraid that the eldest brother will not snatch his crown prince, I know his intentions, but--I am not afraid at all, what is there to fear if my subordinates are defeated!" ”

Without waiting for Mu Lingzhi to speak, he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "I heard that my subordinates came to report that my brother and sister were back, so ...... Come and see ......."

He didn't deliberately cooperate with Yu Ruyan's previous cover-up words, because he knew that by now, the two brothers knew about it.

"Now that I've seen it, I'll go back first!"

After that, the knife turned around and walked outside, Mu Lingzhi hurriedly stopped him, looked at the wound on his left arm with gloomy eyes, and said coldly: "If the father and mother ask about the injury on your hand, what do you want to say?" ”

Xiao Dao sneered coldly and said, "Wasn't my brother still worried that the Great Emperor Brother would attack me just now." Heh, these days, I think that I don't know how much I have experienced, so if I tell my father and mother, I was assassinated by the eldest brother, but it is reasonable, and it is not wronged by the eldest brother. ”

Hearing him say this, Mu Lingzhi was relieved.

He stabbed him with a sword, if the knife wanted to hold a grudge, he could come to him, but he didn't want his father and mother to know about it, because if he let his mother know, this sword was because Yu Ruyan was stabbed by himself, and the first person to suffer was Yu Ruyan.

Xiaodao also didn't want to make his mother blame Yu Ruyan for his impulsiveness. That's why he thought about pushing the injury to the eldest prince who had been eyeing him.

The knife left without saying a word. Yu Ruyan couldn't support it anymore and collapsed on the recliner, thinking of Fang Cai's danger, the clean dress she had just changed into was wet with cold sweat again.

Mu Lingzhi looked at her worriedly, stepped forward and took her hand and said with concern: "Are you scared?" ”

Yu Ruyan's face was pale, and her voice trembled: "Your Highness...... Knife him, he was unintentional, etc...... After a long time, he will naturally understand......"

"I get it. Say no more! Mu Lingzhi's voice was tired, and he said weakly: "His character ...... has followed my mother since I was a child, and my love and hate are clear...... But he is also persistent and stubborn. Now, to cut off his thoughts, we can only get married as soon as possible......"

"Today's events, we must not spread it again, but fortunately, only Tong Qian and Brother An are in this courtyard, and both of them are our loyal servants. I will never say it to the outside world, so when I see Xiaodao in the future, you should still be calm, treat him as a younger brother, don't be too flustered and embarrassed to show your feet, especially in front of the concubine, she is extremely sensitive. ”

After listening to Mu Lingzhi's advice, Yu Ruyan was also bitter in her heart, and said silently: "Everything is subject to His Highness's arrangement!" ”

The two of them were relatively speechless, and their moods were very heavy.

Xiaodao gritted his teeth to endure the panic and embarrassment in his heart, stumbled out of the inn, the night breeze blew, his mind completely sobered up, thinking of the foolish thing he had just done, his heart was remorseful, he was already faceless, and he wanted to kill himself-

He just wanted to ...... to his sister How could he do that?!

Endless self-reproach and embarrassment and shame made him shameless, and he did not care about the pain of the wound, so he rode his horse and whipped his horse, strictly ordered his followers not to follow, and rode alone into the endless darkness......

The entourage stayed on the ground and looked at each other, that is, they didn't dare to let him go alone, but they also knew that this prince's temper was the same, and if they dared to disobey his orders, it would only be a dead end!

But there was still a figure quietly following.

After Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan arrived at Luyang County, the figure arrived at the inn almost at the same time as the knife, and hibernated in the secret place outside the courtyard, so she could hear everything in the courtyard clearly, and she couldn't help but hook a cruel and vicious sneer on her lips-

Heh, I didn't expect the two brothers to meet each other and turn against each other for this slut, so it's good, she doesn't need to come forward, someone will clean up for her.

Mu Ziyue hid in the shadows, happy and heartbroken-

She hadn't seen Mu Lingzhi for a long time, and as soon as she heard the news of his return to the Eastern Capital, she couldn't help but miss it in her heart, and ran to see Mu Lingzhi like a year ago.

Although she hadn't seen Mu Lingzhi in the past few months, she had never missed any news about him.

He defeated the 400,000 Xiong army of Great Wei with 50,000 personal soldiers, and when the news reached Daliang, although the king of Liang blamed him for not going on to fight for other countries without his consent, he was happy in his heart. The entire Eastern Capital is passing on Mu Lingzhi's interests, and everyone in Daliang says that their three princes are really god-like figures, invincible and invincible, like the god of war coming to the world, invincible!

Countless words of praise flowed into Mu Ziyue's ears, gradually diluting the previous resentment towards Mu Lingzhi in her heart, and over time, her love for him revived, and it was even better than before.

She believed that with the friendship she had with Mu Lingzhi since childhood, as long as she took the initiative to show weakness and take the initiative to show her love, he would definitely accept her again.

Moreover, now she is no longer inferior, looking at the black that has grown again in the bronze mirror, although it is not too long, only to the shoulder, but after experiencing the most painful torture in the world, she finally let the ruined scalp grow black again. Now, she is no longer a leper who is ashamed of herself, and she has recovered her previous beauty, so she is more confident to save Mu Lingzhi's heart.

Therefore, as soon as she heard that he was back, Mu Ziyue could no longer restrain the frenzy in her heart and rushed over at night.

However, when she remembered the cruel words that Mu Lingzhi had said to her when she left the Eastern Capital, Mu Ziyue was timid again, and she didn't dare to go to him openly, but only dared to sneak into the inn carefully and hibernate outside the courtyard where Mu Lingzhi and Yu Ruyan lived.

Unexpectedly, I didn't see Mu Lingzhi, but I saw Mu Chenzhi who sneaked into the courtyard.

Everything that happened later made her both hate and rejoice.

She hated why these excellent men all liked Yu Ruyan's slut, but when she thought that she had finally found a way to deal with her, she was excited again-

If this matter is known to King Liang and the concubine, I am afraid that if she does not need to do it again, Yu Ruyan will die without a place to be buried.

She followed the knife and walked out quietly, and when she saw the remorseful look on his face, she felt a chill in her heart—

Xiaodao must not be allowed to withdraw from this love triangle because of guilt and remorse, only if Xiaodao takes away Yu Ruyan, she will have the opportunity to renew her relationship with Mu Lingzhi!

After going through so much, Mu Ziyue has completely understood her intentions, so now she has given up her long-cherished wish to be the queen, and is only determined to marry into the Three Princes' Mansion and stay with Mu Lingzhi!

Therefore, seeing that Xiaodao was resolutely leaving, she couldn't help but chase after her, no matter what, she couldn't let Xiaodao give up Yuruyan.

In the dark, the knife ran all the way, and actually ran back to the Eastern Capital, and in the fog, he found the small courtyard that Yu Ruyan rented in order to take care of Brother An, went to the street to fill five pots of wine, and went over the wall to enter.

This small courtyard had been bought for money after he returned to Daliang, and now he didn't know where else he could go except to return here.

Poured all the wine into his stomach in one go, Xiaodao sat on the steps in a daze, looking at the moon in the sky, obviously round and full, but when he saw Xiaodao's eyes at that time, he was so desolate and lonely, just like him at that time.

The strength of the wine gradually increased, and the knife stumbled to the house where Yu Ruyan lived in the past, looking at the familiar furnishings in the house, his heart was sour, and he couldn't help crying.

Climbing up the dirt pit, the knife gently stroked the futon pillow on the bed, although it had been so long, the bed in the room had long since lost the breath of Yu Ruyan, but he imagined that Yu Ruyan was by his side, and as before, he was the sister who depended on him and accompanied him every day.

"Sister...... You don't want me anymore, what am I going to do? The knife let out a painful sound, and tears soaked the pillow towel.

At this time, the knife seemed to have returned to the simple and simple boy before, put away the anger all over his body, and just thought about his sister over and over again, and the pain in his heart was already about to tear him apart.

"Sister, I don't want to be the prince, but my mother told me that only when I become the prince and become the emperor and become the master of the world can I get what I want. I want you, that's why I want to take the crown prince......"

"But sister, I want you to marry me willingly, marry me, be my queen, and be admired and worshiped by the people of the world with me, but you don't like me, you don't like me......"

Xiaodao fell into a nightmare and muttered to himself, crying and laughing for a while, thinking that Yu Ruyan was about to get married, his heart was colic, and he fell asleep sadly until the wine was completely up......

Mu Ziyue followed the knife to the outside of the courtyard, she stood outside and looked at it for a long time, she couldn't understand why the prince of the knife came here late at night, she was very curious, she couldn't help but climb the wall, and carefully lay on it to look at the movement inside.

When she saw that it was just an ordinary and simple courtyard, her surprise grew, and when she saw the knife drunk into the house, she couldn't help but climb down the fence and follow.

The cry of the knife in the room and the words she couldn't help but say were all heard by her, and Mu Ziyue's whole body couldn't help but tremble with excitement-

originally thought that Xiaodao's feelings for Yu Ruyan were just temporary unwillingness, but now he understands that his feelings for Yu Ruyan in his heart are far more than a long-term attachment, but the deep affection that loves to the bone marrow.

A bright light flashed in her apricot eyes, and Mu Ziyue's heart was so excited that she couldn't do it-

In this way, she doesn't have to worry that Xiaodao will give up her feelings for Yu Ruyan because of her proximity. I believe that as long as she fanned the flames at the right time, Xiaodao would finally become more and more determined to get Yu Ruyan, then Mu Lingzhi would be hers at that time.

Seeing that the knife had been drunk into a puddle of mud, Mu Ziyue walked in lightly, her eyes flashed with cold light, her delicate lips opened lightly, like a poisonous snake's letter, but there was endless chill in her laughing voice.

"Prince, don't blame me, I'm just helping you!"

With that, he leaned down at the knife that had fallen asleep......

Early the next morning, Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi packed up and went back to the Eastern Capital.

After walking for more than an hour, you can already see the city wall of the eastern capital.

When she saw the majestic city wall again, Yu Ruyan felt as if she was in a dream......

I still remember that half a year ago, I left the Eastern Capital sadly and desperately, and returned to Daqi with a knife and Brother An, at that time, she thought that she would never return here again for this life, but she didn't expect that Mu Lingzhi would chase her from the Eastern Capital to Daqi and bring her back to ......

Approaching the city gate, Mu Lingzhi remembered what happened last night, and couldn't help but take her hand and sighed: "Last night's incident, I apologize to you for Chenzhi, and I also apologize to myself, after this city gate, last night's incident is as if it was never born, because, his current identity is unusual, and although he is now the crown prince, the eldest brother has not given up, and has been waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against him, I also heard the news so anxious to rush back, because, the secret guard came to report, tomorrow's sealing ceremony, the eldest brother will move, where, at this time." , there must be no other mess......"

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan understood why he was in such a hurry to travel later, it turned out that it was for this.

Thinking of this, Yu Ruyan's heart also hung up, she knew the cruelty and bloodiness of the battle for the throne, tomorrow, I don't know what terrible things the eldest prince will do?

Thinking of this, Yu Ruyan meekly comforted him and said: "Your Highness, don't worry about me, I have always regarded the prince as a younger brother in my heart, and I also said what happened last night, but he tripped and fell when he entered the hospital, and it didn't hurt me anything, I ...... Long forgotten. ”

Listening to her words, Mu Lingzhi's heart relaxed slightly.

Now for him, he just hopes that after Chen Zhi gets the crown seal smoothly, he will marry Yan Yan again, and then take her away and fly away, leaving everything here to disturb!

If he knew that there would be so many changes and tribulations in the future, and Yu Ruyan and him would be completely injured, and even made her blind and blind, perhaps, Mu Lingzhi would not bring her back to Daliang again, let alone let her be involved in endless disputes......

In order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, Mu Lingzhi couldn't even wait to go back to the house first, but directly took Yu Ruyan to the palace to meet King Liang and the concubine, and went to get the holy decree to marry her. However, what he didn't expect was that when the ladies of the palace heard that he was back, they actually greeted him outside the city gate in person under the leadership of An Lirong, and stopped in front of their carriage in front of pedestrians coming and going!
