Chapter 261: Rooftop Talks
The winter night came early, and the moon had already hung up in the sky.
Because of the doubts entangled in his heart, Yan Wuzheng has been restless - why didn't the queen return? What exactly did the queen write in her letter? Why did my father look at me like that when he read the letter?
No, I'll have to ask the War King.
As soon as he came out of the palace gate, he saw Gongyi Wuying coming to the palace gate with two bags of wine in his hand, as if he was looking for him.
Sure enough, she paused not far from him, glanced at him without a trace, and then rose up with a light skill, which he followed with a light skill.
Spare the bustling night market of Lingdu City, secluded suburbs, and houses neatly lined up in several rows.
The night was slightly cold, and there was silence all around, except for the occasional house with lights.
In a light arc, she sat down on the roof of a house.
Yan Wuzheng also sat down a few steps away from her, and threw a pot of wine directly at him.
He subconsciously raised his hand to take it.
Gongyi Wuying unscrewed the lid of the wine bag, took a sip, and said shallowly: "I knew that your identity was complicated, but I didn't expect you to be my own brother." ”
"The War King really already knows." Yan Wuzheng smiled faintly.
Gongyi turned his head to look at him without a shadow, his clear eyes were full of pregnancy and gentleness, and he said softly: "When there is no one, you can call me sister." ”
Feeling her natural gentleness, Yan Wuzheng's heart moved slightly, but the corners of his lips lifted: "Actually, you may not be older than me, but my mother asked me to serve you as my elder." ”
Gongyi Wuying's beautiful eyes were slightly raised, and he said, "If you don't want to call my sister, then when there is no one, you can call me Wuying." ”
As soon as the words fell, I suddenly heard a soft call: "Sister." ”
Unscrewing the lid of the wine bag, Yan Wuzheng slowly said: "The most respected person in my life is my mother, and I will not disobey my mother." ”
Gongyi's expression moved.
I heard him say again: "For so many years, my mother and I have been traveling around other countries, and if it weren't for the war back then, I wouldn't know my background." ”
"The war?" Gongyi Wuying seemed to want to ask something.
Yan Wuzheng understood what she meant, and slowly said in her mouth: "More than 20 years ago, in order to protect me, my mother took medicine that harmed her own health, and I was born safely, but her body suffered a great loss. ”
The cold wind blew, and the bones were cold.
He lowered his eyelashes and said slowly, "In order to cure my mother, I have been looking for the Blood Spirit Grass. Later, I accidentally learned that Empress Tianchen had brought a blood spirit grass to marry. For the sake of the Blood Spirit Grass, I worked for Shangguan Mo, the son of Empress Tianchen, and became his advisor. As he spoke, he drank a bag of wine.
"At the time of the war, I didn't know my background, and Shangguan Mo wanted to take the opportunity to exclude dissidents, so I came up with that idea for him. Emperor Tianchen set up the edict of establishing Shangguan Mo as the prince, so that Shangguan Mo could mobilize the city guard. Yan Wuzheng paused, and then said: "Shangguan Mo handed over the edict to me, and I went to transfer troops to make those arrangements, and I also laid out the army array." As soon as the emperor died, Shangguan Mo had an edict in his hand, even if King Chen returned, it would be useless. ”
At this point, his emotions seemed to have become much more complicated, and he continued: "I originally thought that after the matter was settled, I would take the edict and go to Shangguan Mo to exchange for blood spirit grass. After arranging everything, I went to see my mother and told her the good news. But when I told my mother everything......"
Yan Wuzheng suddenly fell silent and closed his eyes slightly, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory.
There was no sound for a long, long time, until the last few lights went out.
Gongyi Wuying had actually guessed the story behind it, but he just sat quietly.
…………
That year, a house in Tianchen Yudu.
"What? How many people were in that army? ”
The woman was dressed in a beige coat, her hair was slightly pulled, her beautiful face was naturally pale, and her breath was unstable, as if she was angry and angry.
Seeing that she was inexplicably angry, Yan Wuzheng was a little puzzled, but replied carefully: "There are more than 10,000 people." ”
"10,000 people?" The woman whispered, her expression suddenly changed, and she muttered, "Could it be the Ninggu Strange Soldier?" ”
Yan Wuzheng didn't know why, and asked tentatively: "Mother, what Ninggu Strange Soldier?" What are you talking about? ”
"Smack"
The hot pain hit him head-on, his cheeks were instantly red and swollen, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, which showed the weight of his hand, and even moved his internal force.
The whole person was stunned, but he didn't dare to kneel in front of the woman quickly without the slightest hesitation.
"You...... You ......" The woman pointed her finger at him, angry, and said word by word: "If Ninggu Qibing dies under your arrangement, then I will definitely kill you first, and then commit suicide, and ask the ancestors of my Gongyi family for their guilt." ”
"Gongyi family?" Yan Wuzheng thought secretly, and his eyes were full of shock in an instant, "There is no shadow of the public ceremony, is it ......?"
I only heard a cold reply: "Shadow is your brother." ”
"Shadow?" His eyes widened in astonishment.
"Listen, my full name is Gongyi Ruo'er. I am a descendant of the Gongyi family of the war king, and I was once the concubine of the Liu Lan Emperor Yan Longyi, and you have the blood of the war king and the Liu Lan royal family. After the woman said this in one breath, she calmed down her chaotic breath slightly, her voice was cold, but she was decisive and resolute: "If it is to save my life and cause my Ninggu Strange Army to be destroyed, then I will definitely apologize with death." ”
Yan Wuzheng was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Mother, I'm going to stop it now, it's still too late." After saying that, he picked up the edict, got up and ran straight out.
