Chapter 369: Becoming a King and Defeating a Villain
Lan Jing'an raised his eyes to look at this supreme palace, remembering the days when he first stepped here. What a coincidence, when she first entered Xingle Palace, it was also June, and even this day. The reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, it seems that in the underworld, everything has its own certainty. It's just that the green bricks and tiles are still majestic, and it is difficult to turn back to things.
I don't know why, after many years, standing in front of this majestic palace again, Lan Jing'an's palms are still sweating. Xiao Qingyun looked at her sideways and said solemnly and in a low voice: "Are you ready?" Lan Jing'an glanced back at him seriously and nodded slowly.
A heavy palace gate gradually opened in front of Lan Jing'an, and she always followed Xiao Qingyun's side by half a step, step by step towards the largest and most important Zhengxuan Hall in the palace, and walked towards the highest peak of power.
Outside the Zhengxuan Palace, Yuwen Moyuan had been surrounded by the cadres and regiments, and both Zhou Qi and the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace were all killed at this time. The isolated Yuwen Moyuan stood arrogantly in the empty field outside the Zhengxuan Palace, and did not take the cadres and the army in his eyes.
Xiao Qingyun waved his hand, surrounded Yuwen Moyuan's shadow guards, and quickly retreated to the periphery, just holding a bow and crossbow at Yuwen Moyuan from a distance.
Xiao Qingyun looked at Yuwen Moyuan, but did not immediately walk over, but turned around and glanced at Lan Jing'an, and said in an extremely soft voice that only the two of them could hear: "Ahri, you don't have to go with me." ”
Even though it was hot today, Lan Jing'an felt colder on her body at this time, and she could even feel the skin on her arms trembling. Lan Jing'an bit his lip lightly, and then tried to tug the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't even make a fake smile. She quickly closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and said firmly, "Let's go." ”
The generals who followed behind the two of them all saw that the marshal and the great secretary wanted to go over and finish off Emperor Yan Kangdi in person, so they stopped one after another and left an appropriate distance to ensure that they would not disturb the two and protect their safety.
Xiao Qingyun walked to Yuwen Moyuan with Lan Jing'an without any scruples. He looked at Yuwen Moyuan, and at the same time, Yuwen Moyuan also quickly glanced at him. At this time, Xiao Qingyun was the same as him, wearing a dragon-patterned robe that symbolized imperial power. It's just that the two of them, one is wearing a crown suit, and the other is wearing a military uniform. Five years have passed, and the arrogant young man who was in the Bide Building back then has obviously calmed down a lot. Even if he was about to kill himself the next moment, he didn't leak half of his killing aura, and there was no bitterness and hatred on his face when he saw the enemy.
Yuwen Moyuan turned his gaze and stared at Lan Jing'an beside Xiao Qingyun carefully. She finally came face to face with him again, but she didn't belong to him anymore. For more than five years, she has opened up a lot more than when the two first met, even if there is no smile on her face now, it is so bright and moving.
It's just that in her eyebrows and eyes, she has lost the caution she had at the beginning, and she has lost the gentleness that she gave herself alone in Mulan Garden. At this time, Yuwen Moyuan really wanted to touch her soft green silk again, kiss her tight lips again, and tell her that even at such a moment, he still liked her.
Lan Jing'an, on the other hand, only glanced at Yuwen Moyuan, and then lowered his eyes. Whether she wanted it or not, his appearance in the Mulan Garden still reappeared.
Compared with the person she called Junzhu at the beginning, the emperor in front of him aged too fast. The stars on his temples are white, showing how hard he has worked in the past few years. Only his temperament is as good as it was back then, and the nobility and majesty that he has cultivated over the years will not be embarrassed because he is about to die in the next moment. He stared at him, still gentle and lingering. Even if she didn't say a word, she knew that he still hadn't forgotten herself at this time.
"Yuwen Moyuan, it's time for you, the evil you Yuwen clan has done, it's time to liquidate." Xiao Qingyun was the first to speak calmly.
Yuwen Moyuan finally took his reluctant gaze away from Lan Jing'an, and looked at Xiao Qingyun with a frosty face: "Xiao Qingyun, how about you standing here today?" has always been just a rebellious minister and thief of the Dayong Dynasty! ”
Xiao Qingyun sneered contemptuously, the winner is king, and the loser is the villain, there is really no need for him to waste his tongue with Yuwen Moyuan. He shouted to Wu Wei, who was not far away: "Come on, give wine." ”
Soon, Wu Wei came over with a waiter holding a wooden plate. Lan Jing'an saw a white jade pot and a small wine glass on the vermilion lacquered wooden plate. Although she knew that this was the inevitable end, she had some indescribable feelings at this time.
Yuwen Moyuan didn't talk nonsense, and ordered the waiter: "Pour wine for me." ”
The waiter, who was holding a wooden plate in one hand, picked up the flask with the other hand and poured it into the glass. Because his body trembled too much, one was unstable, and this little waiter actually detained the entire wooden plate to the ground. His frightened face was like ashes, and he immediately knelt down, trembling like chaff, and kept begging for mercy with a cry: "The emperor spares his life!" The emperor spares his life! The minions are going to fetch the wine again! ”
Lan Jing'an was full of nervousness, and was amused by his sentence that the emperor spared his life. I don't know who this unlucky waiter is asking for at this time, and in his eyes, which one is his emperor. Before she could retract her expression, she heard Yuwen Moyuan say, "No need, you go down." ”
Lan Jing'an withdrew his gaze from the little attendant in surprise and looked up at him. I saw that Yuwen Moyuan was still staring at himself with good eyes, and then said softly: "I have never forgotten the sentence on the wall." ”
Lan Jing was like a drum in her heart, and she understood what he meant. Why? Why did he want her to get her hands-on? How did she kill the person who had a blood feud with her, a life-saving grace with her, and a father to her children?
Before she could answer, Xiao Qingyun had already raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Yuwen Moyuan, you are not worthy." As he spoke, Xiao Qingyun pulled out the dagger at his waist that was as sharp as clay. It was given to him by Lan Jing'an on his birthday last year, and he always took it with him.
Lan Jing'an suddenly understood Brother Qingyun's thoughts, and he didn't want her to be difficult. Lan Jing'an finally spoke up: "Wait." Both men turned their heads to look at her at the same time. Lan Jing'an took a deep breath and gently stretched out his hand to Xiao Qingyun: "I'll come." ”
Xiao Qingyun hesitated at this time, he knew what it meant to let her kill Yuwen Moyuan in front of everyone's eyes, but he didn't want to make Ahri sad and make her suffer from this moment in the rest of her life. He shook his head at her gently, but Lan Jing'an took two steps straight towards him, grabbed his right hand holding the dagger, forcefully parted his palm, and snatched the dagger from his hand.
Xiao Qingyun couldn't, and bowed his head at Wu Wei: "Take him down." Wu Wei immediately grabbed the waiter's collar and pulled the person out. Xiao Qingyun also took a few steps back, and then gave an order: "Everyone, take ten steps back." After receiving his order, the generals and shadow guards quickly retreated ten steps, but their eyes were still staring at Xiao Qingyun and the three of them, ensuring the safety of Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an.
Yuwen Moyuan looked at Xiao Qingyun's actions indifferently, waiting for Lan Jing'an to get closer to him. At this time, a smile appeared on his face. This weird smile could only be seen by Lan Jing'an in front of him.
