Chapter 60: A Long Farewell
It was rare, Helian Duel's eyes were red, and he hurriedly turned his head, how could he not know the loyalty of the Wolf King Army to him, how could he not know Apohan's loyalty to him, but now that Apohan is dead and there is no body, how can he accept this fact!
No, we must find out who is behind it as soon as possible, otherwise, he will not be able to eat the sun and sleep at night!
"Katula, this king respects your thoughts, you think about it, if you regret it one day, the palace of the king will always be your home!"
Before he could finish speaking, Helian rode away in a hurry, and Katula looked at his vanished back, letting tears cover his hideous, bloody face.
"Your Highness...... General, he can't let go of the wolf king's army...... I can't let you go......
At this time, Helian Duel, who was in a hurry, had long since heard Katula's words, and he just wanted to go back to the house as soon as possible and smooth out the thoughts in his head.
At the same time, King Jin hurried back to the house, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the study, he saw a masked man waiting inside, and when he couldn't wait to close the door, he smashed the dagger on his waist to the masked man's head, and scolded fiercely: "Fool!!"
"Please forgive your sins...... the masked man quickly knelt on the ground.
The king kicked him over and scolded, "Forgive what sin! I asked you to kill that reckless man to weaken Helian Duel's power, but you made such a big battle and almost killed my fourth brother, how can I spare you!!"
The masked man's eyebrows were embarrassed, he had a hard time speaking, and when the king finished scolding, he trembled and said, "Your Highness, this matter is ...... It's not our people......
"What?!" King Jin turned around suddenly, there was a shock on his face that could not be concealed, his expression gradually became solemn, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, he wants to take this opportunity to get rid of Apohan, but there are also people who have the same method as him......
His expression changed and he said, "What the hell is going on?"
"Your Highness, that day, according to the plan, the subordinates sent people to ambush in Quhuan Mountain, and everything was going well, but the soldiers in charge of transmitting the message suddenly cut off contact, and the subordinates sent people to investigate, and they saw a team of well-trained men and horses ambushing here, and they just happened to see them attacking Apohan and his party......
The masked man reported what he had seen and heard to King Jin, and after listening to it, his heart sank unconsciously, and sure enough, as Helian had just thought, the mastermind behind this team was also a person from the court.
He waved the masked man back and walked to his desk alone, staring intently at the burning candle, his mind thinking about how to lure the snake into the hole......
At the same time, after Helian decided to return to the palace, he informed Si Nanyue of the matter.
In the dim candlelight, she leaned on the edge of the bed, her long black hair like brocade was casually draped over her shoulders, and she didn't even bother to pretend to be sad, she only looked at Helian Du's sad and indignant expression indifferently, and asked softly, "When I was in the mire, I wanted His Highness to follow someone secretly, and His Highness had any news of him in the near future?"
At this time, Helian decided not to do anything else, and hearing Si Nanyue's question made him even more annoyed, and blurted out: "What does he have to do with this matter?!"
The authorities are confused, although Helian decided to restrain himself, but he was obviously much more impatient, and it was normal for him to not react for a while.
Si Nanyue explained unhurriedly: "Since this matter is not the handiwork of King Jin, it is another force, perhaps...... It has something to do with that person's master, not only him, but all the people he has come into contact with have to be interrogated one by one, maybe we can use this matter to dig out the forces hidden in the shadows, which can be regarded as ...... A blessing in disguise."
"A blessing in disguise...... Ha ha...... A blessing in disguise......
Helian Du only felt cold all over, his eyes were like hooks, staring at Si Nanyue tightly, his expression was a little crazy, "The city lord is really calculating, before Apohan's body is buried in the ground, the city lord has already figured out how to use him, in vain he can't let go of you, but you don't even want to do superficial things!"
Xu is grief, Xu is disappointed in Si Nanyue's attitude, Helian was determined to be unbearable, and suddenly said such a sentence.
Si Nanyue calmly adjusted the chair cushion behind her to make herself more comfortable, and then said: "Your Highness forgot, Si Nanyue is a strategist, and the first responsibility is to plan for His Highness, and besides, I am a person who can slash my biological father and force my biological mother to death, if I cry bitterly because of the death of the general who invaded my family and country, will Your Highness at that time."
Because of my coy behavior, I suspect that I am behind it."
"You ......"
Helian was dumbfounded, and for a moment he was like a fish in his throat, yes...... The moment he learned the news, he did suspect Si Nanyue, after all, she had also used similar means against the Chiyuan Army, but after thinking about it a little, he knew that no matter how high her means were, she would not be able to do it like this.
And she was right, Apohan was an enemy to her who hated him as much as the sea, and she really shouldn't grieve for his death, but ...... Alas......
That's it......
Helian Jue's eyes fell on the bright red wedding dress, and he was in mixed feelings for a while, and walked out of Si Nanyue's room in silence.
The north wind outside the house was cold, and the dead branches in the courtyard made a "rustling" mournful sound, which was almost dawn at this time, but because of the snow, it was still a haze.
Helian braved the snow to walk outside Udolander's room, and he stood outside for a long time before he sighed deeply and raised his hand to knock on the square door......
The night passed, the snow in the courtyard had reached the calves, and the people who swept the snow were busy sweeping out the aisle, who knew that not long after Helian entered the house, there was a sad cry of the eldest lady in the house, and the people looked at each other, I don't know what happened, only to hear the eldest lady cry for a long time, and His Royal Highness has been accompanied.
Later, someone heard from the maid who served the eldest lady close that it was General Apohan who was attacked halfway and had returned to the soul for nine days, and at the same time His Royal Highness ordered that everyone in the palace should wear hemp to guard the spirit of the general.
Xi Ming sat in the tent of the horse farm, frowning and looking at the color of the white beads in her hand reflected by the firelight of the stove, she didn't feel a taste in her heart, the enemy who invaded her country died without a corpse, she should be happy, but she thought of the bold and free and easy, affectionate and righteous Abohan, always a little uncontrollable...... Saddened.
Dari Achi, who was packing up the utensils on the side, saw her appearance and knew that she had no intention of practicing arrows today, so he quietly put the things back in their original places, sat next to her and said, "It's snowing heavily today, let's rest for a day, if you're tired, go back to rest first."
How do you know that if she goes back now, Miss will definitely be able to see that she is unhappy, and then Miss asks, is she going to tell Miss that she regrets Apohan's death?
Moreover, no matter how sad she is, she can't wear filial piety for her enemies.
Thinking of this, Xi Ming simply threw the white beaded flower in his hand into the stove beside him, and quietly watched it be burned to ashes by the fire.
Xi Ming didn't say a word, but Dari Achi understood her thoughts, people always can't control their feelings, knowing that they are enemies, but they also have some inexplicable feelings in the long relationship.
For example, the current cherished tea, and then the ...... saved Xi Ming's self.
Seeing her like this, Dari Achi also felt helpless, after all, he hadn't tried to make a girl happy for a long time.
Yes! That's right!
Dari Achi pulled up the red eyes and ran to the outside of the tent.
"Little crying bag, didn't you say you wanted to build a snowman that day? It's snowing outside the house, isn't it just right, you go and get a snowball!"
"Huh?"
Xi Ming was speechless for a while, thinking to himself why Rida Ri Achi suddenly had a big heart?
"What are you doing! Let's go!" Daria Chi shouted not far away, he was bending over and rolling a snowball, his face was red from the cold, and even the thick fur collar around his neck could not stop the howling cold wind.
"Oku...... Got it......
Xi Ming agreed in a muffled voice, followed the example of Dari Achi, put her hand into the cold snow, and rolled the snowball in a good way, until her hand was almost frozen and unconscious, she ran in front of Dari Achi with a snowball the size of a watermelon.
"Tsk...... It's not mellow at all!" Dari Achi was still unforgiving, and then pointed to his work proudly, "Look at me, it's good!"
Xi Ming looked at his hand, she had to be convinced, Dari Achi's snowball was round and jade, without the slightest extra corners, like a magnified pearl, looking at Xi Ming, it looked sloppy.
Xi Ming compared left and right, tilted his head and asked, "Really...... How did you do that?"
"It's called experience, you ask
I'll teach you!"
"Humph! How could I beg for a snowball, dream!"
"But your snowball is really ugly......
"You...... Eat me a snowball!!"
"Hey~~ You can't smash ......."
「……」
Said to build a snowman, but in the end it became a snowball fight, of course Xi Ming could not have the upper hand, and finally took the initiative to make peace, the two remembered to build the snowman, and finally Dari Achi also put two long ears on the snowman's head, making a red-eyed snow rabbit.
After being tired for a long time, the snow rabbit was cute, and Xi Ming put aside her sadness for the time being, patted the snow rabbit's round body with a sense of accomplishment, and said, "Look at you, who are five big and three thick, can do such a meticulous job."
"That's it! My little sister likes to build snowmen the most, and I've been ...... since I was a child."
Xi Ming had never heard Dari Achi talk about his family, but now he mentioned it, but he suddenly remained silent as if he had something on his mind.
Xi Ming casually threw a snowball at Daria's bare feet and asked, "Why didn't you say anything halfway through?"
"There's nothing to say, by the way, it's my little sister's birthday in a few days, I'm going to leave for a while, don't be lazy at that time."
"I won't! I'll wait until the day you come back to check it out, maybe my riding and archery skills are even better than yours!"
The snowflakes were still falling one after another, and the small joy of the two couldn't change the oppressive atmosphere in the house.
On the day that Dari Achi left the house, just in time for Apohan's mutilated body to be transported back, the original living man was now lying in a small coffin, and anyone who saw it was heartbroken, and Udoland was lying on the side of the coffin, crying uncontrollably.
Ah Huan was by his mother's side, he was still young, and he had not had much contact with the people in the coffin, only knowing that the charred corpse lying in the coffin was an elder who watched his father and mother grow up, he felt sorry for his mother's sadness, sad for his father's sadness, and he couldn't do anything except accompany them.
