21 The thoughts of four men on her
Xia Wenxuan took a long breath and said with a solemn expression: "Dongwu, as long as you don't blame the king!" He hesitated for a moment and said, "Dongwu, we are separated after all!" ”
For the first time, Ling Dongwu heard Xia Wenxuan speak in such a gloomy tone, and he only felt as uncomfortable as being pinched, and said excitedly: "No, the prince, Dongwu will not be separated from the prince!" ”
Xia Wenxuan saw that Ling Dongwu had gone through so many things, and he was still so distracted and defenseless, and his heart moved. In fact, he did come to save Ling Dongwu tonight, but the purpose of saving Ling Dongwu was just for his own selfish desires, because he knew that the emperor had decreed to Mu Zicheng to marry today, and tomorrow he would officially announce the marriage news of Mu Zicheng and Xia Mingde in the court, so that Ling Dongwu would definitely be separated from Mu Zicheng, and he saved Ling Dongwu tonight, which would not only leave a good impression on Ling Dongwu, but also save Ling Dongwu from the emperor's favor, and eventually she would spend her own family.
Ling Dongwu and Xia Wenxuan went out of the palace gate together, and saw that Mu Zicheng was anxiously pacing back and forth outside the palace gate, he saw Ling Dongwu and Xia Wenxuan coming out together, he was stunned for a moment, and then gave Xia Wenxuan a salute, Xia Wenxuan and Mu Zicheng exchanged two words, and then got into the carriage and left.
Mu Zicheng stepped forward and grabbed Ling Dongwu's hand, and hurriedly asked her, "Dong'er, are you okay, did he treat you well!" ”
Seeing Mu Zicheng's nervous appearance, Ling Dongwu shook his head at him and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't miss a single hair!" ”
At this time, a bright moon hung in the night sky, and Ling Dongwu looked up at the moon in the sky, distant and lonely, shining overhead, breeding a cold and desolate feeling. She and Mu Zicheng were not in a hurry to get on the horse, but held hands, walking with their own hearts, Ling Dongwu thought about the unknown future, thinking about the things he would face tomorrow, because Mu Zicheng's fate was his own fate, and he and he were firmly linked.
Mu Zicheng took her hand, found that her hand was trembling slightly, took off his coat and draped it on her, and said softly: "Dong'er, don't think about it, everything has me." ”
Ling Dongwu suddenly stood up and said eagerly: "What if the emperor forcibly persecutes?" ”
"Then let's get out of here, the world is so big, there is always a place for us." Mu Zicheng stretched out his hand and hugged the panicked Ling Dongwu in his arms.
Ling Dongwu rested his head on Mu Zicheng's shoulder, his answer, without the slightest hesitation and fear, this is the husband she wants, she snuggled him tightly, feeling safe and warm, even if the sky was about to fall, he was holding it.
"I just heard a commotion inside outside, what happened?" Mu Zicheng only remembered to ask about this matter at this time.
"Yes, the assassins entered the palace just now, and they fulfilled me!"
"Assassin, have you caught it, where did the assassin come from?" Mu Zicheng asked with a frown.
Ling Dongwu stood on tiptoe, knelt down in Mu Zicheng's ear, and whispered, "It's Yi Zhikuo." ”
"Yi Zhikuo! How is he? Mu Zicheng frowned, this idiot, it seems that he still refuses to give up on Ling Dongwu, and he actually chased him to Qingzhou City.
These assassins are really Yi Zhikuo's gang!
It turned out that Yi Zhikuo met Ling Dongwu in the tea shed in Huaiyang City, and when he saw her lost soul, he was always worried, and tried every possible way to find an opportunity to get close to Ling Dongwu again, but Huaiyang City was deployed by Mu Zicheng to be more guarded than the palace, and he never saw Ling Dongwu.
Later, I knew that Ling Dongwu set off back to Qingzhou with Xia Wenxuan's team, and he had been following from afar, and saw Ling Dongwu and Mu Zicheng walking side by side several times, Ling Dongwu was smiling, talking closely with Mu Zicheng, the sun shone on her face, and I saw that the tips of her hair and the corners of her eyes were all a layer of charming brilliance, but that charm was towards other men, towards Mu Zicheng.
Yi Zhikuo was full of jealousy, hatred and anger in his heart, hum, no matter how that kid bullied you, you will forgive him in the end, and you will smile at him, King Ben Khan has been chasing you for thousands of miles, and has saved your life so many times, why have I never seen you smile at me like this!
Although Yi Zhikuo didn't have a taste in his heart, he still didn't dare to act recklessly, and followed Ling Dongwu and their team into Qingzhou, watching Ling Dongwu and Mu Zicheng settle in their mansion.
He was tired from traveling for days, so he sent a few little minions to monitor around Mu Zicheng's mansion, and bought off a handyman in Mu Zicheng's mansion to spread information at any time, and he took his other brothers to find an inn to rest. But not long after he lay down, a little minion ran back to tell him that Ling Dongwu was carried into the palace by the emperor in a sedan chair.
Yi Zhikuo was furious when he heard this, and he had long known that Emperor Nanzhao was not a good thing, and sure enough. He 'fluttered' and turned over from the bed and sat up, this new emperor of Nanzhao is notoriously lascivious and mediocre, extremely obscene, it must be ill-intentioned to take Ling Dongwu to the palace so late, in his eyes, Ling Dongwu is the first beauty in the world, there is no reason why the faint monarch will not covet it, if he stretches out his clutches to Ling Dongwu, it will be terrible. He regarded Ling Dongwu as his wife, except for himself, all the hands that stretched out to Ling Dongwu were devil's clutches and poisonous hands!
Yi Zhikuo hid in a hidden place near the imperial city, he had always been worried that the emperor would attack Ling Dongwu, he was so anxious, although the palace was heavily guarded, although it was impossible to kill the emperor, it would be easy for him to bring a few people in to make trouble.
When he saw Ling Dongwu go in for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't take care of the vigilance of the imperial city, for fear that if he was a little late, his wife would be 'poisoned' by the emperor, so he took a few brothers with strong martial arts to jump close to the palace and make trouble everywhere, and when the emperor sent people to chase them, they had already run out. His purpose was to disturb the emperor's Yaxing and let Ling Dongwu take advantage of the chaos to escape.
After Yi Zhikuo came out of the palace, he was not busy hiding, he knew that Mu Zicheng was outside the palace gate, Ling Dongwu would definitely come back to find Mu Zicheng if he got out safely, sure enough, Ling Dongwu walked out of the palace after a while, Yi Zhikuo saw that she was neatly dressed, her voice was as usual, and she was obviously not "poisoned" by the emperor, so she put her mind at ease and led the brothers to find a safe place to hide. Because tonight the palace has entered the Assassins, and the whole city will be searched immediately.
The next morning, Mu Zicheng and Ling Dongwu changed into court clothes and prepared to go to court, Ling Dongwu looked at Mu Zicheng in court clothes, with a golden crown and white soft armor, only looking long and jade, heroic and heroic. She looked at Mu Zicheng with a smile on her face, and then sighed silently in her heart, but she didn't know what it would be to face them today!
On the Golden Luang Palace.
The emperor rewarded Mu Zicheng and Ling Dongwu without surprise, and said: "Mu Zicheng, you are loyal to the Lord and reward you with a thousand taels of gold, and in addition, Princess Mingde was saved by you in the chaotic army, and you escorted you all the way to escape safely." Now I will marry Princess Mingde to you, and at the same time reward a mansion in the south of the city as a horse house. On an auspicious day, I will personally officiate the marriage for the two of you. ”
Mu Zicheng hurriedly knelt down, everyone thought that he was promoted and rich, and he could marry the eldest princess as his wife, and he would definitely bow three times and knock nine times, but he didn't expect him to say: "Mu Zicheng relied on Emperor Hongfu and the military and the people to work together to achieve today's results. But Mu Zicheng dared to ask the emperor for mercy, but begged the emperor to take back his fate and cancel the marriage between the last general and the eldest princess! ”
Everyone in the hall was envious when they saw that the emperor had such a generous reward for Mu Zicheng, but at this time, when they heard Mu Zicheng speak in one breath, there was no hesitation at all, his words made everyone standing in the court look at each other, and they were promoted to become rich and married the eldest princess as their wife, all of which were happy events in Tiandayuan, how could Mu Zicheng openly refuse to marry?
Only Xia Wenxuan, who was standing in the first place, knew why Mu Zicheng was, and his face was as cold as water.
When the emperor saw Mu Zicheng's resignation, he thought he was modest, and continued to smile and said, "Zicheng, you don't have to push it anymore......"
Mu Zicheng said resolutely: "Please atone for the emperor's sins, the last general can't marry the eldest princess as his wife, because the last general is already married." ”
The emperor smiled: "You are a third-grade general of the imperial court, and it is common for you to have three wives and four concubines, since this is the case, you don't need to resign." I didn't forbid you to take a concubine. Don't worry, I will make it clear to Princess Mingde that she will treat your other wives and concubines well. And Princess Mingde, you have also seen, the most knowledgeable and reasonable, although she is the eldest princess, she will never do anything rude and willful! ”
Mu Zicheng's face changed, and his expression was very firm, "The last general deserves death, and the last general will be a farmer for generations, only knowing that he has a wife but not a concubine, just because he admires the marriage woman, he will live up to him in this life, and there is no reason to marry, so he must not marry the eldest princess." ”
There was an uproar in the court, it is common for ordinary people to have three wives and four concubines, how can there be a reason to resist marriage because of the woman you like?
The emperor's face turned angry, and he said, "General Mu, tell me who the woman you like is, and you dare to resist even my marriage for her!" ”
Mu Zicheng glanced sideways at Ling Dongwu who was standing behind him, Ling Dongwu was standing aside at this time, although he was forced to calm down, his heart was actually beating wildly, and his breathing seemed to have stopped. Although the days of the war outside are thrilling, but how can it compare to the rapid changes of the court with the king like a tiger, here is more terrible than the battlefield, the real battlefield in the face of the enemy, the sword without eyes is better, but the human heart is the most complex and dark thing, more terrible than the sword.
These days, she has been worried about the emperor's appointment to Mu Zicheng, although Mu Zicheng's constant promises and comforts, she is still scared.
Seeing that Mu Zicheng finally said his words today, knowing that no matter whether he can resign or not, he is already ready to fly, looking at Mu Zicheng's gaze at her, her heart suddenly settled down strangely, what if the emperor allows it or not, anyway, she wants to live and die with Brother Zicheng! So he nodded slightly to Mu Zicheng and gave him an encouraging smile.
