Chapter 70: Sneak Attack
When Wen Minyi heard this, she became more and more worried in her heart, thinking of her husband's infatuation with Qingzhou, which only made her heart full of sourness, and she couldn't help but say; "Mother, you and I both know the second master's thoughts about Qingzhou, people like the second master, if they are not emotional, they are desperate, and the concubine is really afraid that the second master will disobey the emperor for the sake of Qingzhou."
When Wan's mother heard this, she also knew that what her daughter-in-law said was true, and she only hated it at the moment; "I really don't know what's good about that disaster, if she turns the emperor and the kings of the mountains against her, she will be to blame if she really dies a hundred times."
"Right now, I just don't know how the emperor will place the light boat, if the light boat is made a concubine"
Without waiting for Wen Minyi to finish speaking, Wan Mu interrupted; "No, with the Queen Mother here, the emperor will never make her the imperial concubine, otherwise, how can we save face in the Marquis of Zhenyuan? In my opinion, the emperor is at most raising her in the palace, and her temperament will not be long before the emperor's concubines swallow even the slag. β
Wen's heart was shocked.
After Wan Mu finished speaking, she paused, and said again; "We're not in the house for the past two days, send someone to take a look, see how your sister-in-law is?"
Since Wan Zi'an's death, Ning's spirit has been poor, these days are even more lingering sickbed, unable to get up, Wen Minyi saw her mother-in-law's instructions, is respectfully claimed, left Wan Mu's house.
After the daughter-in-law left, Wan Mu sat there alone, thinking of the things at home, one thing after another, and couldn't help but feel sad, only twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, and sighed long.
Imperial Palace, Yunxi Palace.
"Miss, drink some water." Forsythia stayed in front of Qingzhou's bed, looking at Qingzhou's chapped lips that had not dried up due to dropping rice, and couldn't help choking and persuading.
Qingzhou looked at the clear water, his throat was so thirsty that he almost smoked, but he still didn't dare to drink it.
"Forsythia, I'm scared." Qingzhou's eyes were so sore that she looked at the dazzling array of food on the table, but she didn't have the courage to take a bite.
"Miss is afraid that someone will harm you and the child in your womb?" Forsythia was clever and figured it out in an instant.
There was a crystal teardrop condensed in the corner of Qingzhou's eyes, she stroked her lower abdomen, and said in a dumb voice; "I don't understand the emperor's thoughts, and I don't know if he can tolerate this child, not to mention that the emperor has many favorites, with the emperor's words in Shoukang Palace, I don't know how many people will regard this child as a thorn in their eyes, forsythia, I'm really afraid."
"Miss, don't cry," Forsythia was also red-eyed, and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for Qingzhou, "General Tang must have passed on the affairs of the palace to Hou Ye outside the palace, and when Hou Ye gets the news, he will definitely come back, and he will come back to save Miss's mother and son." β
It's okay if she doesn't mention Wanzhong Mountain, just mention Wanzhong Mountain, Qingzhou's tears can't help it, she shook her head, and said in a subtle voice: "I just hope he doesn't come back, never for the rest of his life." β
"Miss!" Forsythia can't bear it.
"The emperor is a king, he is a minister," Qingzhou's tears wet his eyelashes, taking advantage of that face to be particularly pitiful, "If he turns against the emperor for me, then I"
"Miss," Forsythia interrupted Qingzhou's words and persuaded: "Hou Ye is over thirty years old, only this bone and blood in your abdomen, even if you are for Hou Ye, you must take care of your body and give birth to this child well." β
Qingzhou's heart was bitter, she thought of Wanzhong Mountain, only to feel extremely uncomfortable, she looked at her lower abdomen, and whispered a word; "Forsythia, you say, if he really thinks that this child is the emperor, will he die?"
Forsythia was shocked, she looked at the side face of the light boat, and just called; "Missβ", her voice choked there.
It was late at night.
In a corner of the cold palace, there is still candlelight.
In the palace sat a slender woman with a high nose and deep eyes, her skin was better than snow, and her eyebrows were full of exotic style.
The woman's ears and eyes are excellent, although the movement outside the window is subtle, she is still keenly aware of the subtle sound, the woman's heart moved, and suddenly raised her eyes, and before long, she heard the palace door "squeak" and let people push it open from the outside, revealing a vigorous figure of a man in black.
"My subordinates have seen the princess." The man in black stepped forward quickly and knelt beside Nalan.
Nalan looked at him and frowned slightly, "Just you?" β
"The princess forgives her sins, the Daqi Palace is heavily guarded, and there are too many people, so it is easy to make mistakes."
"Have you ever been discovered along the way?" Nalan asked again.
"The princess can rest assured, the eunuch who is keeping vigil has been taken care of by her subordinates, and she asks the princess to quickly change her clothes and leave with her subordinates under the cover of night."
The corners of Nalan's lips hooked up a sneer, "Father Khan sent you?" β
The man in black listened to Nalan's words, and his heart was just a pang, and he said; "Princess, the Great Khan was also forced to send the princess to the Qi State, the Great Khan has always been concerned about the princess in his heart, this time our Da Liao with the help of Da Yu's soldiers and horses, and Qi State to fight again, the Great Khan is worried about the safety of the princess, and sent eighteen light horsemen and his subordinates to infiltrate the Qi State Beijing Division to pick up the princess back to Da Liao."
Nalan has dark eyes, since she was sent to the Great Qi Palace, Li Yunzhao has never taken her as a foreign woman to heart, and when Da Liao and Da Qi went to war again, Li Yunzhao ordered her to be claustrophobic in this cold palace.
"Please also ask the princess to leave with her subordinates quickly." The man in black hung his head deeply.
Nalan was silent, but he spat out a word; "Do you know the famous general, where is Wanzhong Mountain now?"
The man in black was shocked, although he didn't know why Nalan asked about Wanzhong Mountain, but he didn't dare not answer, he just said; "Wanzhongshan has always been the henchman of the Great Khan, we don't know how many people and horses have been damaged in the hands of this person over the years, if it weren't for this person, Da Liao has already set foot in the Qi country, this person is now confronting my Da Liao on the frontier, but a few days ago, my subordinates heard that he left the battlefield for some reason, and rushed back to the Jingshi, but I am afraid that he is now on the way."
"You mean, he left the war behind and returned to Jingshi?" Nalan was a little incredulous, and he didn't know what it was to make a person like Wan Chongshan who had been fighting all his life leave the battlefield.
"Exactly, the Great Khan has ordered people to sneak attack along the way, and this time, we must finish off this person." The man in black said respectfully.
As soon as his words fell, Nalan's pupils suddenly tightened, and he only shouted; "You said that Father Khan sent men to assassinate him along the way?"
"Yes."
Nalan's heart sank.
Official road, post station.
"Master Hou, it's raining heavily tonight, please ask Master Hou to rest at the post station for one night, and it's not too late to hurry tomorrow when the rain stops." Luo Yiyan wiped a handful of rainwater from his face, walked to Wanzhong Mountain, and handed over a pot of water.
Wan Chongshan took the kettle, but he didn't have the heart to drink, he looked at the heavy rain outside the house, remembered the light boat, only felt relieved, and longed to insert his wings and return to Beijing, and he was willing to rest.
Suddenly, there was thunder in the sky.
Wan Chongshan listened to the thunder, his black eyes were tight, he still remembered the night before he left, it was also tonight like this lightning and thunder, Qingzhou was very afraid, when he went back, he snuggled up to him regardless of it, thinking of Qingzhou's mother and son, Wan Chongshan clenched the sword on his waist, he looked at the soldiers who were tired because of the hurry, and Luo Yiyan said; "You lead your brothers to rest here, and I will go back to Beijing first."
"Master Hou!" Luo Yiyan was shocked and couldn't help but speak.
Wan Chongshan made a gesture, only so that he had to swallow the rest of the words back, Wan Chongshan ordered people to bring horses, only led a few elite soldiers, without the slightest hesitation, rushed into the vast wind and rain.
As they passed through the valley, the horses were suddenly restrained.
"Master Hou?" The accompanying elite soldier was puzzled and asked the man's back.
Although Wan Chongshan returned to Beijing, he still did not lose his due vigilance, his eyes were calm, and he only swept slightly around, the muscles of his whole body were ready to go, and his body was already full of murderous energy.
That murderous aura is a murderous aura that can only be found in people who have been baptized many times on the battlefield and crawled in countless swords and swords, and who have died for a lifetime.
It was at this moment that the rain of arrows shot towards Wanzhong Mountain and his party.
Wanzhongshan's eyes were cold, and he immediately pulled out the sword on his waist, and opened those arrows, except for the sound of wind, rain, lightning and thunder, there was only the sound of swords and arrows striking each other.
Hearing the screams behind him, Wan Chongshan glanced at his heart, and saw that several elite soldiers behind him had all fallen, his eyes were cold, and he only screamed, picked up the horse's belly, and leaned over to rush towards the valley mouth.
The Liao dead at the mouth of the valley did not wait for Wanzhong Mountain to rush out of the valley, he had already flown up, raised the long knife in his hand, and fought with Wanzhong Mountain, Wanzhong Mountain's eyes were bloody, and the moonlight shone on his cold and resolute face, like an eagle owl in the dark night, the sword in his hand was sharp, only making the Liao people irresistible. Suddenly, he heard a roar in the sky above the valley, Wan Chongshan looked up, and saw countless flying corpses rolling down, his heart sank, and he just wanted to withdraw, but those dead soldiers rushed up, hugged his body, and wanted to die with him.
Wan Chongshan shouted angrily, raised his feet and kicked the two dead soldiers, and when the boulder fell, his eyes were shocked, and he waved the long sword in his hand to block, and after a loud noise, the entire valley was as silent as death.
Kyoshi, Imperial Palace, Night.
In the Yuanhe Palace, Li Yunzhao has not rested.
"The emperor" Gonggong Cao had no colorless face, trotted all the way, and ran towards Li Yunzhao.
"What's going on, so flustered?" Li Yunzhao raised his eyes from the mountain-like twists and turns and looked at Gonggong Cao.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenyuan is him"
"What's wrong with him?" Li Yunzhao frowned and shouted.
"Marquis Zhenyuan was attacked by the Liao on the way back to Beijing, and his whereabouts are unknown!"
