Chapter 160: King Rui is dead

The frenzied waters devoured the soldiers outside the city like beasts, blocking the remnants of the army outside the city gates.

In a panic, the army broke up and withdrew from the city gates to the terrible sound of trumpets.

Mu Mo looked at the mud of the depression under the city tower, and the corpses piled up from the foot of the city gate wall that spread for hundreds of miles, as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer in his heart: in order to fight for Sikong Cong, thousands of soldiers died and their bones were buried in the wasteland...... Is it worth it? The purpose of helping Sikong Jue was originally to stop the war, but ...... But it ended up like this, what did you do wrong?

In the evening of May, the mild heat was slightly cool, blowing Mu Mu's blood-stained hair.

Mu Yu was tired and lying on top of the city tower, looking at the charred and dilapidated city wall gate, and the tens of millions of corpses piled up outside the city, stretching for hundreds of miles, blocking the way into the city, the coldness climbed up to his shoulders from his heart, and he shivered deeply.

"Auntie?" On the castle tower, a soldier of the garrison battalion asked at a loss, "What should we do now?" ”

Mu Mo shook his body, came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and ordered the soldiers to guard the city gate according to the formation, and drew a few teams of people: all the way to the Ministry of Engineering, and transferred people to repair the city gate; all the way to the military department, replenish weapons; All the way into the house, inventory and hoarding of grain and grass.

Everything was arranged, Mu Yu took a deep breath and asked Sikong Rui about the situation; Listening to the soldiers, Sikong Jue had sent someone to bring Sikong Rui into the palace, so he rode a bloody gallop, and galloped all the way into the palace.

As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, he saw a muscular and thick-eyed general, dressed in heavy silver armor, holding a spear and a big knife, riding a high-headed horse, and waiting for the palace guards.

"I didn't expect it...... The girl actually blocked Sikong Cong's army of 100,000! ”

Yang Tongzhi looked at Mu Mo with some incredulity, and bowed deeply to her, "The girl has a life-saving grace for Jin Song!" ”

"Yang Zhi", Mu Yu looked at the Praetorian Guards behind Yang Tongzhi, and asked very tiredly, "Where is the emperor's mother?" ”

"Girl rest assured", Yang Tongzhi made another gesture to Mu Yu and informed, "After receiving a message from Prince Rui, he led his elite soldiers to immediately sneak into the White Horse Temple and take the emperor and Niangniang back to the palace; Because he was afraid that Sikong Cong would invade the city, and the palace was unguarded, and the emperor's life was in danger, he took people to guard the palace gate, and did not lead the army to the city gate to assist, hoping that the girl would understand. ”

Mu Ran was exhausted from the whole day of fighting, Mu Ran turned his gaze from the Praetorian Guard to Yang Tongzhi, and didn't have the strength to think about the truth or falsehood in his words, so he only asked weakly: "Where is Lord Rui?" How is he? ”

"Lord Rui......" Yang Tongzhi was a little embarrassed, and he stopped talking, but for a moment, he still couldn't bear to tell him.

"The girl will go into the palace and see it herself." Yang Tongzhi said, bowing down to get out of the way behind him.

Mu Yu "chuckled" in his heart, because he knew Sikong Rui's condition earlier, he already had a bad premonition; Riding a horse into the palace gate, he galloped into the dormitory in the Sikong Jue Palace nervously, and heard the Praetorian Guards say that he was in the emperor's palace, so he galloped to the Great Cause Palace.

As soon as he entered, Sikong Bo was leading people to guard the palace gate, and he had a very wonderful feeling in his heart, and he couldn't guess his attitude in the confrontation between Sikong Cong and Sikong Jue, and he paused for a moment before turning over and dismounting, and stepped forward.

Sikong Bo bowed to Mu Mo and thanked him: "The girl has worked hard and made a great contribution to Jin Song." ”

"What about Lord Rui and Lord Jue?" Mu Mo was quite tired, and he didn't have the strength to greet Sikong Bo again, so he asked directly.

There was a hint of dodging in Sikong Bo's eyes, and he hesitated for a moment, made a way, and asked Mu Mo to enter the main hall by himself.

Mu Yu "chuckled" in his heart, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.

Taking a deep breath, he walked into the main hall, and saw the courtiers and imperial doctors standing in the room, Shi Shao accompanied Emperor Hui, Xiangche accompanied Mu Wanzhen to sit on the chair in the middle hall, Emperor Hui was frightened, curled up in the hall chair, Xiangche and Shi Shao looked at Emperor Hui with pity.

Mu Mo's heart tightened, and he asked Xiangche: "What about Lord Jue and Lord Rui?" ”

"Mu ......" Xiangche saw Mu Mu, tears instantly welled up, and he choked up, "Lord Rui...... It's up. ”

Mu Yu staggered back two steps with a "boom" above her head, and the sense of powerlessness completely crushed her strong insistence, and finally her feet were weak, and she sat down on the ground, her brain was empty for a long time, as if she had a dream of leaving.

I don't know how long it took, Sikong Jue slowly came out of the main hall, looking at everyone in the hall with a blank expression, when his eyes met Mu Yu's eyes, he was suddenly stunned for a long time, and then silently looked away, lowered his head and was stunned.

Mu Mo was stunned for a moment, stung by Sikong Jue's lonely gaze, and then, he was at a loss to look away and silently distracted.

As night fell, the silent and sad Hall of Cause slowly enveloped it, and dozens of people were silent.

Finally, in the early morning of the next day, Sikong Jue rectified his mood and took the lead in speaking: "Now, although Sikong Cong has withdrawn from the city gate, he still has not given up the attack on Luoyang, and the 100,000 army has retreated to camp at the foot of the Beibi Mountain, and another 20,000 or 30,000 troops are stationed on the bank of the Luo River, ready to wait for the opportunity to move; We...... Let's think about how to deal with it. ”

"Lord Jue", Mu Yu was silent for a moment, "I have something to say to you alone." ”

"Huh?" Sikong Jue raised his eyes, looked at Mu Wu a little blankly, and after a while, with a light "oh", he slowly got up, staggered into the main hall, and turned to look at Mu Wu; Seeing this, Mu Yu also slowly got up and followed into the inner room.

In the bright and clean hall, there is a carved dragon bed quietly in the corner, and a figure is lying quietly on the bed.

Sikong Jue staggered to the side of the bed, sat on the carved stool at the foot of the bed, and silently held the hand of the figure on the bed.

The calloused and scarred fingers show the owner's career on the go; Mu Yu "chuckled" in his heart, slowly moved to the bed, and saw Sikong Rui lying calmly on the bed, his eyes closed, and half of his face on his beard looked serene, and he actually felt a little relieved for him: Finally, ...... He no longer has to worry about the endless turmoil in the palace day and night.

"When I was a child, as soon as I was born, I knew that my mother was the least favored woman in the palace. Sikong Cong's mother, Wu Liangren, although she is a lowly maid from Yedu, has a gentle and obedient personality and is very loved by her father; However, the grandfather of the Qingzhou Assassin at that time was expelled from Luoyang by his father because King Qi Yi was bluntly admonished, and died by hitting the pillar. Sikong Jue held Sikong Rui's hand, slightly distracted, and fell into a faint memory.

Mu Mo raised his eyes, looked at Sikong Jue beside Sikong Rui, saw him pause for a moment, lowered his eyes, and continued to read leisurely: "At that time, because my mother was snubbed by my father and was bullied by the palace people, the third brother had a very cold personality, and I often ignored the bullying I was subjected to. Of all the people in the palace, only the second brother treated me sincerely, protected me from being bullied all the way, and grew up to adulthood. ”

Sikong Jue said, took a deep breath, and his eyes drifted out of the window: "The second brother was born from a prominent background, his mother concubine Zheng Guifei, was born in the family of the third generation of Jin Song, and the status of the concubine in the palace is second only to the emperor's biological mother, Empress Dowager Yang. ”

Sikong Jue paused for a moment and said frankly: "The emperor's qualifications are dull, the Empress Dowager Yang died young, and the second brother has a prominent family, but he has never thought about it; The emperor is grateful and trusts him the most in the palace. However, such a loyal person......"

Sikong Jue sighed, shook his head helplessly, and secretly mocked the impermanence of the world and the creation of people.

Mu Yu quietly listened to Sikong Jue talk about his past with Sikong Rui, and was silent for a long time, and suddenly, he opened his mouth to say the thoughts that had been held in his heart since Sikong Cong invaded Luoyang: "Lord Jue, make peace with Sikong Cong." The people outside the city, the soldiers in the army, the prince of Rui...... Like you said, Jin Song, Luoyang, really can't withstand such a catastrophe anymore. ”
