Chapter 14: Whistleblowing (Revision)
Last night was still the moon was bright, but I didn't think that today, the sky was cloudy, and a heavy rain was brewing wordlessly in the rolling dark clouds.
This morning, Hua Xihuan took breakfast, passed by the courtyard, and looked up to see the dark clouds at the zenith as if they were about to press her head, and couldn't help frowning.
During these days, she always had an indescribable sense of uneasiness in her heart, which was especially strong today, and she always felt that something bad was going to happen today.
When she stepped into the Mei Pavilion, she suddenly remembered that last night, when she was about to fall asleep, she bumped into an uninvited guest in Li'er's room, it was an extremely beautiful man, with a dangerous aura on his body that lured people close.
And, in the next second, she also really experienced the danger, from the power in her neck that could know her life at any time.
She had heard Li'er say that her brother was the most beautiful person in the world, she thought Li'er was bragging, and it wasn't until she saw the real person that she agreed that if the man in front of her dared to call the second, then no one dared to call the first.
Hua Xihuan's eyes watched the beautiful face invade in front of her, and her mind was blank, until Li'er shook her shoulder in a panic to wake him up, she suddenly felt like she had returned to the world, hit several pillars one after another, and sleepwalked back to her room.
I silently recited Mr. 10,000 times in my heart before I suppressed the turbulent spring heart, and then I didn't dare to think about that beautiful man at all.
He is like a poppy flower, silently seducing people to sin and depravity.
Did this uneasiness come from that beautiful man?
I didn't expect this premonition to come so quickly, after accompanying Li'er to say hello to the queen.
On the way back, there was a group of guards standing at the entrance of the palace, dressed in armor and armed with sharp weapons that reflected the cold light.
The first to bear the brunt was the emperor with a solemn face, and beside him stood the smug Rong Guifei and several of her maids.
Mo Xiangli saw that group of people from a distance, and he felt bad in his heart, so he turned his head and whispered to Hua Xihuan: "Wait a while, don't talk about what I say."
The closer Hua Xihuan got closer, the more frightened she became, the closer she got to the group of people who were full of murderous energy, the more frightened her legs became, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
And Mo Xiangli's back was very straight, like a fragile and strong ice.
"Take it." The emperor looked at the oncoming Mo Xiangli and said expressionlessly, unable to hear the cloudy weather in his words.
Mo Xiangli looked at him resolutely turned around, and somehow, when he thought of a sentence, the person who was really angry was extremely angry, but his face was like a flat wave.
Mo Xiangli did not resist, nor did she struggle, she seemed to have expected this day.
"Mo Xiangli, you are so bold, you actually hooked up with the Beihan concubine and poisoned the emperor in private, the emperor will severely punish her for the crime of killing her head, and don't let go of anyone related to her." Concubine Rong shouted solemnly beside her.
Hua Xihuan saw Li'er being ambushed, and her legs, which were originally scared and couldn't walk, suddenly surged with strength, and she rushed forward to push the guards away, hugged the emperor's thighs and shouted: "Your Majesty, please let go of Li'er, she must have been wronged."
"What was wronged, the emperor personally searched for poison under her pillow." Concubine Rong said proudly on the side, showing the slender white porcelain bottle in her hand.
Mo Xiangli's eyes darkened, and he just looked at Xiao Jingyu's handsome face stupidly and said, "Tan Lang, I did this alone, and it has nothing to do with others, so don't be implicated in our past relationship."
Xiao Jingyu didn't speak, and in his dark eyes, he couldn't see any emotion, but the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, bringing out a little irritability and revealing a trace of disappointment.
Mo Xiangli thought of her fate, just like a caught fish, even if she was unwilling, she had to wait for the slaughter.
Thinking of his brother who had just reunited, he was on the way back to Beihan at this moment, with a lonely and powerless smile on his face.
The emperor's majestic phoenix eyes, staring at the flowing love at the corners of her lips, gritted his teeth.
Condescendingly looked at Hua Xihuan, who was holding his thighs and pleading, with a cold frost in his eyes, he sneered coldly and said: "This poisonous woman herself has admitted it, and the evidence of poisoning is conclusive, what is wronged." Take! ”
"My mother must have a hard time, Your Majesty, think twice......" Hua Xihuan heard his angry words, and her ruthless face fell into the ice cave with a click in her heart, and she knelt on the ground humbly, and explained.
When the emperor heard the word "bitterness", he seemed to be touched by the scales, and he kicked the flowers and enjoyed the joy.
"Bitter, bitter she and her lover are separated, Gao Sheng, and ordered Murong Bai to go and arrest Bei Hanjing and his wife immediately." Xiao Jingyu said viciously.
Gao Sheng glanced at it solemnly, and Hua Xihuan, who was kicked over, suppressed the fluctuations under his eyelashes, clenched his fists, and replied: "Yes." Walked away with a brisk pace.
Hua Xihuan looked at Mo Xiangli's back when he was taken away, and her heart was full of helplessness.
"This palace maid is also very suspicious, maybe it is a conspiracy, and she will be arrested and interrogated." Concubine Rong pointed at Hua Xihuan, and several guards stepped forward and grabbed her arms and took the person away.
Concubine Rong listened to Hua Xihuan's rebuttal and went away, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of happiness.
At this moment, in the land of Muyun, from south to north, the vegetation is becoming more and more scarce, and even the spring breeze is a little dry and cold.
A horse-drawn carriage was galloping at a gallop, with ten people guarding it, only a city gate away from the exit, with bows and arrows on the wall, and many pursuers behind it......
The carriage did not slow down in the face of several arrows that came at a rapid fire, but the horse, which had been running for three days and three nights, finally fell to the ground with all its strength.
The man who was manipulating the reins of the carriage was thrown out of the carriage in embarrassment, rolled sideways and rolled on the spot with neat movements, and settled neatly on one knee.
"Drive, drive, huh-" Murong Baile stepped forward on his horse, blocking the carriage, his spear against the groom's neck.
"Han Qing, obediently tie your hands and arrest, don't make fearless resistance." Murong Bai rode on his horse, stared at the person on the ground who had not raised his head for a long time, and said coldly.
"Hehehe, if you tie your hands, you have to ask me if I am happy with the knife in my hand." Han Qing raised his head violently, held the spear in his backhand, and pulled it hard, actually tearing Murong Bai off the horse, and the two fought on the ground.
The spear was at close range against the short knife, obviously a little difficult, and the people next to him also fought a piece, and for a while, the soldiers on the field saw each other, and the sound of ping-pong continued.
On this trip, the people brought by Bei Hanjing and Han Qing are all outstanding, and they can be worth ten with one.
The battle situation on the field was tug-of-war and stalemate for a while, Han Qing glanced at the deep bows and arrows covered on the city wall, knowing that it would definitely be disadvantageous for his own side to continue to consume it like this, and the only way was to capture Murong Bai alive in exchange for time to escape.
Therefore, his subordinates' moves became more and more aggressive, focusing on the dead hole, Murong Bai's weapon could not be used, and he struggled to deal with it, and his feet were several steps away.
Murong Bai felt a pain in his neck, and his neck drove a broad axe from behind his back. Han Qing and Bei Hanjing showed a treacherous smile on their faces, and Murong Bai realized that this was a trap that the two had laid earlier.
"Murong Bai's people, listen to me, your general is now in my hands, put down the weapons in your hands or I will kill him." Han Qing's short knife pressed tightly on Murong Bai's neck, and the pursuers who threatened Mu Yun said.
The soldiers looked at each other, they didn't know what to do, looking at their beloved General Murong Bai, the people around Murong Bai's relatives, took the lead in throwing weapons on the ground, and the others threw all their weapons to the ground one after another.
"Stand back twenty feet and open the gates." Han Qing continued to order.
Mu Yun's soldiers all stepped back in unison, their faces showing obvious unwillingness and anger, as well as deep contempt, and they were disgusted by Han Qing's next three indiscriminate tricks in their hearts.
The city gate slowly opened, and the exit was just ahead, and Han Qing and Bei Hanjing's eyes both showed excitement.
"Princess, our horses are exhausted and can't walk." Bei Hanjing's subordinates even pumped the horses that were lying on the ground and didn't want to get up, and said with a cold face.
"Pick a few horses with good legs, take down our rations, load them on their horses, and supply some weapons and equipment." Bei Hanjing frowned and said.
"Yes." The subordinate replied, and several men began to pick the horses, and in a short time ten horses had been selected, and the rations were unloaded on the new horses.
Unexpectedly, when several people were about to move on their horses, Han Qing suddenly gave a strong order: "Kill all the other horses."
The subordinates looked at each other, thinking of the war horses that accompanied them day and night, and couldn't bear to say: "The horses we left behind ......"
Han Qing looked at them coldly and said, "Do you want to stay and let the enemy ride and kill us?"
Bei Hanjing thought of her old friend Chifeng, who had been with her for a long time, because it would drag them down at this moment, and she would be killed by her own people, and she felt uncomfortable.
But in order for all the people to return to Beihan smoothly, he turned his back and ordered ruthlessly: "All the other horses are killed."
The people of Beihanjing scattered and moved, wielding knives to kill horses, the miserable neighing of horses on the field was endless, and the blood of the horses flowed in all directions, staining the loess into bloody soil, and the horse corpses were lying on the ground, and some of the horses' limbs were still twitching, and they were not blind.
Chi Feng seemed to have anticipated his fate, knelt on the ground, couldn't escape from the siege of several people, and screamed in fear at his old friend Bei Hanjing.
Bei Hanjing closed her eyes tightly, and her face showed deep pain.
Han Qing glanced at her, lowered his eyelashes and said, "This is not the time for a woman's kindness."
Bei Hanjing turned around and picked up the axe, walked to her beloved horse, stroked its mane with tears, and apologized bitterly: "Chifeng, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
With his eyes closed, he raised his axe high and fell, his horse's head separated, and the last mournful cry suddenly broke in the air.
Whether it was Mu Yun's soldiers or Beihan's soldiers, their faces were very painful, and Mu Yun's soldiers began to scold Han Qing for being cruel and ruthless.
Han Qing's face was expressionless, unmoved, and seeing that they were almost done, he said, "Let's go." So he took Murong Bai to the nearest horse.
Han Qing encircled Murong Bai sharply, put the short knife back on his neck, and threatened Mu Yun's soldiers: "Don't act rashly, if you dare to release the dark arrow, your general will die."
Bei Hanjing and a few people got on their horses, and a few people rode their horses to the city gate and drew their horses......
