Thirty miles north of Licheng, Xieyang Valley, Beidi garrison camp.

In front of the commander's tent, one man and one rider stood quietly in the boundless night.

The heroic young general sat on the war horse, his eyes as bright as cold stars, and his eyes were burning to the northwest.

That's the direction of Snow Ridge.

Falling from such a high Qianzhang Peak, it should be more than auspicious.

The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his handsome face was a little evil.

It seems that his plan has succeeded.

Meng Tianluo is dead, and Shen Qianmo is also very likely to have died, I heard that Meng Yuanheng has ordered the slaughter of nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses in the imperial court.

He underestimated Meng Yuanheng's feelings for this woman, but he didn't expect him to do it so much for her.

In this way, the Dasheng court is bound to not give up on the Xuan Wangfu, and the Xuan Wangfu is already difficult to gain a foothold in the Dasheng Dynasty. And with Meng Yuanheng's character, he will definitely not sit still and let others slaughter.

The Xuanwang Mansion and the Dasheng Dynasty have become fire and water, and the two are incompatible. Beidi only needs to sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, fight the horses, wait for the opportunity, and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Hmph, Mo Hanshan is a person with two sides and three knives, and he is ambitious, but he is indeed ruthless in doing things, and if he uses it properly, he is a good chess piece.

Everything is going well and seems to be under his control. However, why didn't he feel much joy, but felt depressed and gloomy in his heart as if he was blocking a stone?

He subconsciously turned his head. The tall city tower of Jinyang Pass loomed in the dim night, but a petite shadow stubbornly appeared in front of him, and the peony flowers on the cloak were so dazzling and dazzling, and his eyes hurt.

He raised his head, closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he raised his hand and ordered aloud: "Collect the troops and return to the court." ”

The purpose of suppressing Xuanwangfu and Meng Yuanheng has been achieved, and the grain and grass have been burned down on the night of Feiyunqi's night attack on Licheng, so it is the wisest choice to collect troops at present.

************

Dasheng Qing'an nine years, winter.

On that day, a piece of news from Jinyang Pass exploded in Shengjing City like thunder.

It is rumored that the all-powerful and clever Princess Xuan was forced off the cliff by His Royal Highness King Luo for some reason when she led the troops to retreat from the enemy and guarded Jinyang Pass. King Xuan was furious and turned red, not only killed King Luo, but also ordered the slaughter of all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

There were more than 47,500 people, and as soon as King Xuan gave the order, all of them turned into dead souls under the sword. On that day, Li Cheng was full of blood, dyeing the waters of the White River red. The bloody aura shrouded the sky over Jinyang Pass, and it did not disperse for three days and three nights.

Xuanwangfu rebelled!

The news spread, like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the world was shocked for a while.

In the minds of the people of Dasheng, Xuanwangfu is a patron saint-like existence, which has repelled the invasion of surrounding enemy countries many times in the past hundred years, and firmly guarded the people of Dasheng Limin.

But now, this patron saint, who was supposed to fight against foreign enemies and protect his family and the people, has extended his butcher's knife to his own people.

How can the world accept this!

In the early dynasties, the Jinluan Hall was as brilliant as usual, **solemn. However, today's atmosphere in the early dynasty is unprecedentedly depressing. The left and right columns of civil and military ministers cautiously bowed their heads and stood under His Highness, and they did not dare to come out.

Emperor Mingde, who was sitting on the dragon chair, seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden, his face was gray, his expression was sluggish, and he was no longer in high spirits and spirits.

Recently, he always felt that his body was getting worse and worse, and his energy was not as good as before, and now he was hit by this blow, and he plummeted, and his body suddenly weakened to the extreme.

After a long silence, Yao Chong, the head of the household standing in the left column, came out of the column and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Meng Yuanheng killed His Royal Highness King Luo and slaughtered nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses of my Dasheng, which is really a great rebellion, and the crime should be punished. I also asked the emperor to decree that Xuan Wangfu and Meng Yuanheng would be severely punished! ”

Yao Chong gritted his teeth when he said it, and he was righteous and stern. Thinking about it, the backstage of the eldest prince is gone, and his nephew Yao Wentao also died in the Licheng Massacre, and he hates Meng Yuanheng to the core.

As soon as Yao Chong's voice fell, some officials and ministers who were usually jealous of Xuanwangfu and Meng Yuanheng echoed one after another.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yao is reasonable, Meng Yuanheng privately killed my Dasheng soldiers, it is really bold, and it must be severely punished!"

"Your Majesty, Meng Yuanheng is going to rebel, and I ask the emperor to order that Meng Yuanheng be arrested immediately, and that adultery must not be tolerated."

“……”

But in the midst of a group of accusations, there was a serious and calm discordant voice.

"Xuanwangfu has always been loyal to the monarch and loves the people, and there is a reason for this abnormal behavior. Everyone knows that King Xuan has a deep affection for Princess Xuan and attaches great importance to it. Princess Xuan led the troops to Jinyang Pass, recovered Licheng, and repelled Beidi, which can be described as a high degree of hard work, but His Royal Highness King Luo forced Princess Xuan off the cliff for some reason, and has not found a trace so far, maybe...... It's really sad that he has already died. ”

Lu Ziqing's face was condensed, and there was an imperceptible sadness in the depths of his deep eyes, but his flat tone interrupted the different opinions in the hall.

To this day, it is still difficult for him to accept the fact that Shen Qianmo was killed, and all he sees in front of him is Shen Qianmo or smiling gently, frowning and contemplative, or focusing on the autopsy.

Is this exquisite, unparalleled woman in the world, really gone like this?

His hands clenched tightly in his wide-sleeved robes, and the pain of his nails piercing his palms made him barely keep his senses.

He suddenly understood Meng Yuanheng's actions very much. Even he couldn't bear this fact, let alone Meng Yuanheng, who was so affectionate to her?

Meng Yuanheng can do so much for her. If it were yourself, would you have the same determination and courage?

He shook his head, sighing to himself. At this moment, reason finally made him realize the fact that between him and Shen Qianmo, it would never be possible.

Yao Chong snorted coldly, and raised a high-sounding objection: "Hmph, even if Princess Xuan is killed, can it be a reason for Meng Yuanheng to indiscriminately kill innocents and despise the imperial court?" Could it be that only the life of Princess Xuan is fate, and the life of my 50,000 soldiers is not fate? ”

The righteous indignation of these words was very reasonable, and for a while, the entire Jinluan Palace began to criticize King Xuan again.

Emperor Mingde felt that it was really a headache. Of course, he was extremely angry about Meng Yuanheng's actions, but he was not completely sure that the Xuan Wangfu would send troops to suppress it.

After all, Meng Yuanheng has nearly half of Dasheng's soldiers and horses in his hands, and he is basically guarding the border passes. Once there is a rebellion, it will lead to the emptiness of the Dasheng border, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

When he was hesitating, the first assistant Lu Hengshan came out and said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, King Xuan lost his beloved wife, and it must be abnormal grief and indignation at this time, so it is not appropriate to suppress King Xuan, and now that Beidi has withdrawn from the army, the danger of Jinyang Pass is lifted, it is better to recall King Xuan back to the capital first, and then think about it in the long run." ”

Lu Hengshan, as the first assistant, is still very sensible, and he can see more clearly than ordinary people. At present, the situation in Dasheng is not very peaceful, in addition to Beidi, Xiliang and Nanchen and other surrounding small countries have also been ready to move, wolf ambitions, at this time, if the imperial court and Xuan Wangfu are hard to fight, leading to civil strife, it is not a wise move.

"The minister agrees with Lord Lu's words, half of my border passes are garrisoned by the Meng family's army, if I rashly suppress the Xuan Wangfu, I am afraid that the border passes will be in an emergency." Ning Hou, as a military general, pays attention to the battle situation.

"Ning Hou's intentions, is it just to let Meng Yuanheng bully the monarch so presumptuously?" A minister protested.

The hall suddenly fell into a-for-tat quarrel again.

Suddenly, Gonggong Li's shrill and panicked voice sounded in the hall: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty!" Come on, hurry up and announce the doctor! ”

Emperor Mingde, who was sitting on the dragon chair just now, fainted without warning!

All of a sudden, everyone in the Jinluan Hall was in a hurry, and the most chaotic early dynasty in Dasheng's history came to an end in a series of disturbances.

It was night, and everything was silent, only the wind whistled outside the window, blowing the leaves all over the sky.

In the study of the palace not far from the palace, the third prince Meng Tianyu stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, the flickering candlelight reflected his fair and feminine handsome face, a pair of phoenix eyes were deep, and his eyes were dark and inexplicable.

Behind him stood a man in black, with a slender face, a gray beard, and gloomy eyes, who was Mo Hanshan, the master of the Shadowless Sect.

I only heard him say in a low voice in a rough voice: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Jue on the imminent completion of his great cause." The emperor is in a coma, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up. Now that King Luo is dead, King Xuan has rebelled, and the Seven Princes are not worried, this country is already within easy reach for His Royal Highness. ”

Meng Tianluo tilted his head slightly, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes, and then he asked with some concern: "Are you sure that the Imperial Doctor will not find anything strange in the Emperor's medicine?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the amount of medicine is very good, and the imperial doctor has not noticed it for so many days, I believe that God is unaware."

"Well done." Meng Tianjue nodded, and said to Mo Hanshan: "If this king can successfully ascend the throne, the position of the master of the first gate in the world is none other than the master of the Mo Gate." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness." Mo Hanshan let out a few smug chuckles.

It's just that what Meng Tianyu didn't notice was that Mo Hanshan's smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

At the same time, for the Xie family in Suzhou, tonight was a sleepless night.

Mr. Ethereal stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, with white beard and white hair, like an immortal. He looked up at the night sky intently, and there was a hint of melancholy in his wise and calm eyes.

"Father."

"Grandfather."

Behind him, Xie Chun and Xie Mingyu, father and son, both walked out of the house and saluted him.

"Hmm." Mr. Ethereal replied and asked, "Is there any news from Mo'er?" ”

Xie Chun shook his head and sighed. "Not yet."

After speaking, he also learned from his father to look up at the night sky, and said without worry: "The emperor star is dim, but the north is a fierce star, this world, I'm afraid it's going to be chaotic......"

He was answered with a sigh of nothingness.

Mr. Ethereal is good at celestial phenomena, so he naturally knows it well for a long time. He had already seen that Shen Qianmo had a special aura that could influence the general trend of the world, but he did not expect that this effect of controlling the general trend of the world would come at the cost of her life.

"Grandfather, father, Mingyu wants to go to Licheng." Xie Mingyu's always gentle face was also full of anxiety and worry.

He didn't believe that Mo'er left like this, and he always felt relieved that he had to go to Licheng to see it for himself.

"Go ahead." Mr. Ethereal sighed and said, "The north will no longer be peaceful, so be careful about everything." ”

On the second day, as soon as dawn broke and the morning fog had not yet subsided, Xie Mingyu had already set off on horseback. One person, one ride, he only carried a simple burden with him, and even his personal entourage Bi An did not accompany him.

When he walked out of the city gate, he saw the beautiful figure sitting on a white horse in the morning light, and a slight smile bloomed on his handsome and elegant face.

"Frost." With a gentle whisper, he rode to her side and walked side by side with her.

The woman on the horse, with beautiful facial features, flowers and moon appearance, really deserves the eight words "closed moon and shameful flowers, sinking fish and geese". This woman is Leng Aoshuang, the palace master of the Flower Moon Palace.

After a few months of getting along, Xie Mingyu and Leng Aoshuang's relationship has become deeper and deeper, and the Xie family has already acquiesced in the relationship between the two, and Mrs. Xie has even secretly started to prepare for marriage. No way, Xie Mingyu is 28 years old this year, and Mrs. Xie is really anxious.

Xu has the nourishment of love, and the cold temperament on Leng Aoshuang's body has faded a lot, and has been replaced by a quiet and soft charm. However, at this time, her beautiful face was worried.

"Mingyu, Qianmo her...... It's going to be fine, right? ”

Xie Mingyu took her hand, smiled at her, and said in a firm tone: "Mo'er, her life is very hard, she will definitely not have an accident so easily." Let's go, let's go. ”
