Ning Shangmo said with great certainty: "That's her, the reason why she is hiding everywhere is because she is afraid that people will use her to threaten you and the Emperor of Beimeng." But this time she was killed, I was afraid that it was related to the Emperor of Beimeng. However, whether it was really killed, you still need to further determine, I heard that it was only the Beimeng soldiers who said that the person was killed, but no one saw the scene, and now the courtyard has been sealed. ”

Tuoba Hongyu immediately stood up and said, "You take me, if you find out that what you said is half a lie, I will immediately send you to my father, you know what the consequences will be." ”

Ning Shangmo sighed and said, "What's the good of lying to you? I just pity your mother, look at your mother and think of my mother, we are all miserable people who grew up in the royal family, and we can't even protect our own mother. ”

Her words were very sincere, which touched Tuoba Hongyu, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you." ”

Ning Shangmo nodded and led him to the small courtyard where his mother once lived.

Naturally, they didn't enter through the main entrance, which was still sealed and guarded by Northern Mongolian soldiers.

They climbed over the wall in the backyard, and Ning Shangmo took Tuoba Hongyu into the room where his mother had entertained her last time.

Tuoba Hongyu finally believed what she said, everything here really had a familiar taste to him, and the layout of the house was also his mother's style.

Thinking that his mother might have been murdered, he couldn't help but cry with his head in his arms.

Ning Shangmo stretched out his hand and gently pressed it on his shoulder, comforting him like a little brother: "Maybe it's just a trick played by Emperor Beimeng." Nominally your mother has been killed, but in fact, she has been hidden, so that she will never have to live in hiding again, and no one will try to kidnap her for some ulterior motive. You should go to your father and ask for clarification. ”

Tuoba Hongyu felt that what she said made sense, and prayed in his heart that this was the case. Then he nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll go find my father." ”

Ning Shangmo nodded at her and continued: "I still have a reluctant request, I hope you can persuade your father and emperor to withdraw from the army, and Da Ling Beimeng will each hold their own land and not invade each other, so that the people of the two countries can live a peaceful and happy life." Otherwise, not only will there be countless casualties on the battlefield, but innocent people will also be injured, and I don't know how many families will be separated. You have lived in the people, and I believe you can understand the stakes involved. ”

Tuoba Hongyu sighed: "I am a humble person, and my father may not listen." ”

Ning Shangmo encouraged him: "As long as you are sincere for the sake of the people, I believe that your father will understand your hard work, and even see that you have a benevolent king's heart, maybe ......."

She didn't say the rest of the words, after all, everything was unknown, and she didn't dare to pack the ticket, just guessing the possibility.

Tuoba Hongyu nodded and responded: "Let me try it, my father has indeed been haggard recently, and I thought that it would be effortless to attack Da Ling, but who expected, but the loss of troops would be so serious, plus the imperial sister is not angry, my father was really hit." ”

"If you hadn't come to invade my Da Ling, how could Beimeng be hit so hard?" Ning Shangmo asked rhetorically.

Tuoba Hongyu sighed: "Yes, the people and money are lost, and the soldiers have been killed and injured countless times, but I am afraid that I will not be able to recuperate for one or two decades." ”

Ning Shangmo was very happy when he saw that he was moved, and responded: "You will have a way to convince your father, and then your father will definitely be able to see your talent for the task." ”

Tuoba Hongyu shook his head and smiled: "I have no desire for the throne, maybe I used to have it at the beginning, but now it is completely faded." Perhaps my mother was right when she said that people live and are content. ”

Ning Shangmo nodded and responded, "Isn't that the reason?" Your imperial sister just can't figure it out, she always wants to fight for those illusory things, what else can you get besides hurting yourself and hurting others? ”

Tuoba Hongyu sighed helplessly, "I hope she can be safe." ”

Ning Shangmo smiled undeniably, not that she wanted her to die, but that she was afraid that Emperor Da Ling would not let her come out alive after half a year, it was really that she had done a lot of evil and could not live, and no one could save her.

Ming Qingyan had been hiding outside the window and eavesdropping, and he expressed great admiration for what Ning Shangmo had done.

Although Da Ling and Bei Meng are at war, she has shown a remarkable deal in dealing with Tuoba Hongyu and his mother, which is worth learning from, without any personal emotions and a kingly demeanor.

He was even thinking that if Ning Shangmo was a man, he might inherit the throne by Yan Nanhao well.

Of course, this idea can only be thought about in the heart, otherwise it will be a big rebellion.

Ning Shangmo and Tuoba Hongyu chatted for a while, and then left separately.

Ming Qingyan thought about it, and felt that it was so late, Ning Shangmo had already made up his wish, and he should not go anywhere, he must go back to the restaurant to rest.

Therefore, he did not continue to follow Ning Shangmo, but went to track Tuoba Hongyu, wanting to see what he would do, whether he would do it to Ning Shangmo in front of him and behind his back.

After Tuoba Hongyu came out of his mother's hut, he went straight to the palace where Emperor Beimeng lived, which was the former Marshal's Mansion of Daling.

Ming Qingyan lived here in the first place, so he is very familiar with the buildings inside, and it is even more handy to track them.

Tuoba Hongyu came to the bedroom of the Emperor of Beimeng, saw that the light inside was still on, hesitated for a moment and walked in.

I saw the Emperor of Beimeng reclining on the couch with his clothes draped, looking through the scrolls in front of the candlelight.

I couldn't help but ask softly: "Father, it's so late, why hasn't your old man rested yet?" ”

When Emperor Beimeng heard his words, he put down the scroll, raised his eyes to look at him, pointed to the side and asked him to sit down, and then sighed: "I can't sleep, I am anxious at the thought of being stuck here in the border city and not being able to take a step forward." Not only is the military consumption large, but also the loss of troops is too much, which is really nerve-wracking. I didn't expect that the Da Ling people would be so cunning, guarding a Qingcheng in a disadvantaged position, and they would be able to freeze it to the death. If you can't take it next time, you really won't be able to take it down. Less than half of the million-strong army was brought out. ”

When Tuoba Hongyu heard this, a sad expression appeared on his face, and he comforted softly: "Father, you don't have to worry too much. Perhaps we can find other solutions. ”

Emperor Beimeng asked rhetorically, "Other solutions?" What's the solution? Your imperial sister went to the Daling Imperial City, drugged the Daling Emperor and the concubine, and shaved the head of the Queen Mother's ghosts, but they couldn't make them mess up, what other solution can there be? ”

When Tuoba Hongyu heard him say this, he couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that what the imperial sister did in the Daling Imperial City was acquiesced by her father? If this is the case, then it is really unfair to the imperial sister, and it failed, and the father not only did not come to the rescue, but fell into the well, and asked Borg to tell Emperor Daling to let him kill the imperial sister.

In this way, he also deeply felt that growing up in the royal family seemed to be a very glorious thing, but in fact it was also the greatest misfortune. Not only does it not have the family affection of ordinary people, but it also cheats me, fighting for the throne to the death, anyone can be used as a pawn to consolidate the throne, and there is no human affection at all.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but shudder.

Emperor Beimeng stared at him keenly and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Is it cold? ”

Tuoba Hongyu didn't hide his thoughts, but said out loud: "I shudder when I think of the suffering that the imperial sister may have suffered in Daling. Father, let's save the imperial sister, maybe Emperor Daling hasn't poisoned her yet. ”

"How to save it? As soon as I open my mouth, they will use your imperial sister to blackmail me, can I give them a chance? Emperor Beimeng sneered, "If you give up the border city in order to save your imperial sister, or promise Emperor Daling any other conditions, wouldn't the blood of my Beimeng soldiers be shed in vain?" ”

When Tuoba Hongyu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "If you continue to fight, I'm afraid that the blood will flow more." ”

"What do you mean? Quite a deserter? Emperor Beimeng's voice suddenly raised a lot, and he asked sharply.

Even Ming Qingyan, who was lying under the window and eavesdropping, couldn't help but be startled.

Tuoba Hongyu shook his head and said: "It's not that I want to be a deserter, but I can't bear it, and more Northern Mongolian soldiers will be sent to death." As a result, it is unknown how many families in Northern Mongolia have lost their fathers and sons, and how many people have been displaced by the fighting. I grew up in the people, and I know the hardships involved. Although Da Ling seems to have fewer troops than us, they are good at using the art of war, and they can win more with less, it is really difficult for us to defeat them, it is better to ......"

Before he could finish his words, the Emperor of Beimeng picked up something from the table and struck him, scolding:

"You unfilial son, how do you know that our Beimeng will lose the battle?"

Tuoba Hongyu didn't dodge, let the thing smash on his head, and after the violent impact, he felt a gold star in his eyes, his head turned in circles, and then the salty liquid flowed into his mouth.

It turned out that what the Emperor of Beimeng touched turned out to be an inkstone.

"Why don't you dodge?" Emperor Beimeng looked at the blood on his face and asked distressedly.

"I'm not afraid of death, what I'm worried about is that more Northern Mongolian soldiers will die, even if we do everything we can to take Qingcheng, what? With so many big Lingcheng pools, how many soldiers' lives can we exchange? Tuoba Hongyu let the blood flow like earthworms on his face, and sat there unmoved.

His firmness made the Beimeng Emperor sigh and shouted: "Pass the imperial doctor." ”

Soon, a guard brought the imperial doctor in, bandaged Tuoba Hongyu's wounds, and withdrew.

So, only the father and son were left in the room.

Actually, what Tuoba Hongyu said, Emperor Beimeng didn't think about it.

He is not a fool, he will naturally analyze and occupy, a small Qingcheng they have attacked several times, and they can't take down the serious losses of the soldiers, and the city behind it is even more difficult to fight.

The allies did not pull one, and Dajin, Wuqin, and other countries still maintained a neutral attitude.

But Da Ling has a life and death ally, Xiliang Kingdom, who vows to advance and retreat with Da Ling.

Although the national strength of Xiliang is not strong, it is not a good climate to take it out alone, but the alliance with Da Ling is naturally not to be underestimated, and it is undoubtedly a tiger with wings for Da Ling.
