Chapter 15: Brothers and Sisters

I have not seen him since that day, and he lives in the military tent every day to discuss with the soldiers the combat policy of this western expedition. And I, too, stayed in my camp every day, and knew nothing about the outside.

I thought it would be calm forever, but now at noon, the soldiers came to report that the king of Mobei led a large army to attack the camp where the Min army was stationed.

All of a sudden, there was a stir in the barracks. Liuyun immediately issued an order to meet the enemy!

I stood outside the military tent, listening to the neighing of the war horses and the horns of the sky, and I felt palpitations when I looked at the scene of the soldiers preparing for battle.

Finally, when he saw Liuyun, he had taken off his usual outfit and changed into a suit of armor, which shone blindingly in the sunlight. The eyebrows exude a strong force that is proud of everything, and the majesty of the expression is gathered, without losing the imperial demeanor.

Roll in your heart, could it be that he wants to go to the battlefield in person! Fu thought that he had led the army to resist the enemy, and these were not strange to him.

I was about to go and ask what was going on, but I was stopped back into the military tent by two soldiers, who said, "The emperor has decreed, and without his permission, I can't take half a step out of the military tent."

So much so that for the next few days I could not leave the tent even a single step.

Outside, the wind was howling and roaring, and there was a faint sound of killing and wailing, and I knew that it was the sound of killing, with the smell of blood.

Worry, nothing but worry.

I always think in my heart, what happened to Haoxuan, and Ziqian, whether he is safe!

As if he suddenly woke up, he felt bad in his heart, and I only now understand why Liuyun would go west at this time, Haoxuan was in Mobei, but now Liuyun handed over the war book, so Haoxuan, on one side is his own uncle, on the other hand is his own brother, will be in a dilemma.

Whichever side you are on, it is an act of injustice.

I don't want to see the world fighting, let alone wars. Because it is always the innocent people who are hurt.

I don't know how long I lay on the bed, but I couldn't calm down, I couldn't help it, and finally stayed.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves and cheers could be heard from far and near, and my heart was suddenly startled, and I hurried to the curtain to lift the curtain. Suddenly, what caught my eye was the rolling yellow sand sweeping the slowly approaching army, and the eye-catching banner flew with their momentum, and it was the banner of victory.

A sense of great ups and downs arises spontaneously.

Since the Min army was victorious, I didn't see Haoxuan and Ziqian.

Is Haoxuan on Liuyun's side, or on the side of Mobei King. Liuyun's side is naturally victorious, and it is impossible not to come back with the army.

I was very panicked, and I didn't care too much, so I grabbed a soldier and asked urgently: "Is it a victory?" ”

The soldier nodded at me, smirking smugly.

His expression tightened, and he asked again, "So, what about King Ding'an and General Zhang!" Why didn't they return with the army? ”

The soldier frowned, and then said slowly: "This time, we did win, but it was not a complete victory. Moreover, the king of Ding'an intends to unite with the king of Mobei to rebel, and the emperor has ordered him to be killed. After a little rectification, they will attack Mobei City again, annihilate the rebel party in one fell swoop, and take down the rebels. ”

There was a buzzing sound in my head.

Hao Xuan rebelled, this is impossible, no matter how stupid Hao Xuan is, he will not rebel in such a situation that is not conducive to him, although he does have such thoughts. But now, if I want to believe that he united with the king of Mobei to rebel together, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Liuyun sent him here, just to mediate with the King of Mobei and rescue Ziqian, how can it evolve into Haoxuan and the King of Mobei to rebel.

It can't be, it can't be!

However, Liuyun ordered to be killed, what was going on!

After only a few days of adjustment, Liuyun once again personally led the army all the way to Mobei City. I don't want such a killing thing to happen, but I can't stop it.

This expedition, once he wins a complete victory, won't Haoxuan be killed as a traitor, thinking of this, I can't stop trembling.

Could it be that these are all what Liuyun wants to see?

Even though it's just my thoughts.

Ten days later, when the scarlet flag of the Min Kingdom fluttered high with the triumphant return procession, everything seemed to settle down.

It's just that this return brought back a lot of prisoners. I also found out that the man I feared was also among the captives, covered in blood and bruises.

I called out "Hao Xuan" and rushed forward, but when I approached him, I was stopped by the soldiers on the side.

Hao Xuan was stunned for a moment, looking at me with a pair of bright eyes, struggling to get closer to me, but was also blocked back by those soldiers.

"Haoxuan, how can this be!" I cried out to him in my voice, and my heart was very depressed. It's just that I haven't seen him for three months, and now, he is a thief and a courtier, which is how I can accept it.

"Zhen Luo... Don't be afraid... Don't be afraidβ€”" He comforted me over and over again, and smiled at me, he didn't want me to worry, but I had to worry about him.

At this time, Liuyun walked towards us quickly, glanced at me a few times, looked at Haoxuan again, and said melodiously: "Zhen Luo is your side concubine, and now you are arrested if you fail to rebel, it is a capital crime, Zhen Luo..."

Before Liuyun finished speaking, Hao Xuan said to him: "This matter has nothing to do with Zhen Luo, don't hurt her!" ”

Liuyun evoked a sneer, and said very calmly: "The crime of rebellion, the family should be punished, as the king of Ding'an of the Min country, it is impossible for you not to know this immutable law." ”

Hao Xuan's face instantly darkened, and his eyes were full of hatred, "As long as you don't hurt Zhen Luo, you can do whatever you want me to do!" ”

"Haha..."Liuyun laughed a few times, then turned to the soldiers behind him and said, "Prepare now, return to Beijing tomorrow!" ”

There was another large number of cheers and shouts, and it only took a month to pacify Mobei. Whether he is brave and good at fighting, or good at planning people's hearts, I don't know, and I don't want to know.

What I'm most worried about now is whether Haoxuan will survive. If even he died, then there would be no one in this world who was good to me.

"Since you have been guilty, I will never think about survival alone, we are all together in life and death, okay, Haoxuan." I spit out this sentence to Hao Xuan very calmly, and Liuyun turned around violently, walked up to me, grabbed my wrist and said, "Life and death are together?" Is it? Good... Good... Since you want to die with him so much, then I will fulfill you, come here, take down the concubine of the king of Ding'an, Zhen Luo of the Chu family, and detain them together and return to Beijing, waiting for the fate. ”

"Zhen Luo... It can't be like this..."Hao Xuan couldn't bear to open his mouth, I pushed away all the soldiers around me and rushed to him, supporting his scarred body, and pursed his lips slightly: "I am your side concubine, I will live together in life, and I will die together in death, if the emperor must kill us, I will not complain." ”

Haoxuan's eyes flashed with fleeting sadness, and then showed a smile of relief, and said to me firmly: "Okay, we have to live together, and if we want to die, we will die together." ”

Liuyun finally walked away, and I leaned on Haoxuan's bloodstained shoulder, a sense of security that I had never felt before.

Haoxuan and I sat in the prisoner car together and rushed back to Anyang City with the army, and at this time, I realized that after Liuyun broke through Mobei City, the king of Mobei committed suicide immediately. Liuyun soon took the entire city, and was ordered to garrison Mobei and not return to Beijing until he sent someone to take it over again.

Since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is Kou, and many losers in history have finally chosen to judge themselves. Among them, the one that I regret the most is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Things are always unexpected, I still haven't figured out the reason why Liuyun brought me to Mobei, just to let me and Haoxuan stage that scene?

Liuyun's heart is always unpredictable.

On the way back to Beijing, Haoxuan and I took care of each other, and at that time, it seemed that we were really like a family, I was just his wife, and he was only my husband.

On the day I arrived in Anyang City, I listened to the thunder of firecrackers, the sound of joy was joyful, and my mood was extremely heavy. The people of Anyang City stood on both sides of the street and greeted this victory with supreme joy.

I heard the sadness in the sound of the three shouts, although it was only from my heart.

It turned out that Mobei had always been a big stone in Liuyun's heart, and now, it was finally put down.

But Haoxuan and I have become the targets of the people's insults.

On the day we arrived in the city, we were all sent to the prison to wait for our fate.

What can be disposed of, it couldn't be clearer in my heart, the crime of treason is the same as the crime of conspiracy, back then, our Chu family didn't have a single living mouth, and it also involved my grandfather's family, which was the crime of punishing the nine clans.

It's dark and damp in the cell, but it's okay, it's not the first time I've been in prison, and it's nothing. It's just that Haoxuan, from a high-ranking prince to a prisoner, I don't know if he can bear such a huge change.

He became less talkative, not even speaking.

I looked at him in the cell next to me with a helpless and bitter expression.

"Haoxuanβ€”" I called him softly, and he looked back at me, got up, walked over to me and sat down. I remember that every time something happened, he always acted as if nothing happened. But this time, I could no longer see the peace on his face, and when I think about it, he was also worried.

"Zhen Luo, right now, what I'm most worried about is you and my mother. Because of me, you are all implicated. He spat out his words desolately, with some sadness.

I shook my head at him and reached out to hold his hand, once, his hand was very warm, but now, it was extremely cold, "Haoxuan, don't blame yourself." Each person has a destiny, and as long as our hearts are together, we will never be separated. ”

He stared at me affectionately for a long time, gradually smiled, held my hand, and called softly: "Zhen Luo..."

I tried my best to laugh very calmly, just to not worry him a little more, but I asked a sentence that I shouldn't ask, "Haoxuan, why did things turn out like this, in my opinion, you are not a person who underestimates the enemy, nor is you the kind of person who acts rashly, I don't believe it." ”

Hao Xuan froze, looked straight at me, raised his lips and wanted to speak, but swallowed back instantly, and finally only said: "I did rebel against my uncle." Zhen Luo, I'm not as calm as you think, and I also have impulsive times. ”

I looked at him suddenly, not knowing what to say.

Liuyun, will it really kill us? Will it?

Even so, I still can't guess the outcome.
