Chapter 170: Leaving the Country
"Danyang. ”
Qin Xiao's tone was heavy, and he kissed Danyang's forehead in grief, tears pouring out of his eyes like a flood from the eyes of his seven-foot man.
However, Danyang did not wake up again because of Qin Xiao's crying and kissing, his eyes were closed, and his body gradually became colder.
One corpse, two lives.
In the golden desert floated a man's wail, despair, and indignation, almost pulling out all the weakness buried in people's hearts, which was heartbreaking.
Suddenly, the wail came to an abrupt end. Qin Xiao, whose face was full of tears, suddenly felt a chill in his abdomen, and when he looked down, there was an extra blood-stained sword in his abdomen. The sword entered his back, pierced through his abdomen, and in a split second, his shirt was stained with blood.
Xiao Qingyu quickly pulled out the long sword that stabbed into Qin Xiao's body, his eyebrows tightened, revealing worry and unease.
At the moment when the long sword pulled out of his body, Qin Xiao could no longer support his body, and fell on the yellow sand, looking at Danyang with a pair of eyes reluctantly, and it took a long time before he gradually closed.
With the death of Princess Danyang, the turtle beard soldiers were all routed, and that night, the Swiss army attacked the capital of the turtle beard country. Emperor Turtle Whisker was dressed in white and surrendered, bowing to Xiao Qingyu, and so far, the Turtle Whisker Kingdom was destroyed.
The night was cool, and the night wind blew the sand and dust, burying the soldiers who died in the desert during the day. Most of Qin Xiao's body was also buried in the yellow sand, his eyes were closed, if he didn't test his breathing, no one would find that the person lying motionless on the ground in front of him was still alive.
Suddenly, one of Qin Xiao's fingers moved slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes and woke up from his coma.
It turned out that Xiao Qingyu deliberately stabbed Qin Xiao with his sword first, and deliberately stabbed the sword away to avoid the vital point, but the purpose was to save his cousin's life. Fortunately, Qin Xiao's life was really saved.
Rumo stood in a hidden cave outside Jing'an City in black, and a mass of golden-red ashes floated in front of him, like a raging fire. His eyes glowed with blue, and his palms glowed with a red halo, and with the power of that halo, the ashes continued to converge towards the center.
Gradually, the ashes merged into a human form, but it was so illusory that it was impossible to touch.
"Xi Ze, I owe you, I will pay you back today, please live well for me, and grow old with Ye Ningxiang. ”
After speaking, Rumo showed a light smile, and a white shiny bead the size of half a palm rose from his body. With a wave of Rumo's arm, the shiny bead flew into the golden-red ash and merged with the ash.
"I will give you this Inner Dan that has been cultivated for thousands of years, and within five years, you will definitely be able to transform into human form again. I hope you don't hold a grudge against me. ”
Then, Rumo's body seemed to suddenly lose support, and she fell to the ground, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the blink of an eye, it has been half a month since Ye Ningxiang returned to Ruiguo, and under the care of the imperial doctor, her body has been so good that it can't be better, except for sometimes feeling empty in her heart, her life is quite comfortable.
Hearing that her relatives who have been living in Jing'an will come to Yingdu today, Ye Ningxiang began to dress up early in the morning out of courtesy. even went to the outside of Yingdu City early to greet her relatives. She didn't do this because of how much she loved her family, but just to show it to the officials of the Swiss country.
In the eyes of Ruiguo officials, she Ye Ningxiang is a bad woman who has been married and is not clean, and she is not qualified to serve as the queen of Ruiguo.
Although she didn't have the slightest impression of her husband Mu Xize who had married according to Xiao Qingyu's orders, and she didn't remember what immoral things she had done, but in such a lonely situation, she always had to follow the wishes of these officials and do some face-saving work.
Father Ye's carriage did not appear until the evening, probably afraid that the road would be far away and something would happen, so Father Ye and their carriage were surrounded by countless cavalry guards.
Father Ye's carriage was followed by many people, including soldiers and a group of captives bound by hemp rope.
The captives were unkempt and richly dressed, but their clothes were torn and dirty. They walked barefoot on the gravel ground, their white soles stained with blood, and they couldn't see what they were.
Behind these people were countless soldiers with leather whips in their hands, and under the intimidation of the soldiers, these people wept in horror and wept, ignoring the pain in their feet, and quickened their pace towards Jing'an City.
It turns out that these people are the royal relatives and nobles who once left the country, and now the prisoners of the Rui Kingdom.
Hui Yingdu captured Xia Qingqing, King Yi, Mu Sitang, and the two queens, Father Ye
"Ningxiang!"
Father Ye, who hadn't seen Ye Ningxiang for a long time, cried with joy when he saw Ye Ningxiang, regardless of his old body bones, jumped directly from the carriage and ran to Ye Ningxiang's side.
Although Father Ye was very curious about what happened to Ye Ningxiang in the past year or so, and why she changed from Princess Ning to the future queen of Ruiguo. But looking at the officials and soldiers around them, Father Ye swallowed the words into his stomach, and gave Ye Liu a look and asked her not to say more.
On weekdays, although Ye Liu is a little more arrogant, she can still distinguish this kind of situation where she will lose her life at any time when she stands on the cusp of the storm, and she obediently pressed Father Ye's eyes, and did not say half a superfluous sentence.
Ye Ningxiang respectfully held Daddy Ye's arm, and looked at Ye Ninglu and Ye Liu with a smile, as if she was a good girl and eldest sister who was extremely filial.
Just as this family drama of family harmony was in full swing, Ye Ningxiang suddenly caught a glimpse of a person in the string of captives bound by hemp rope that she would not forget even if she drank the love pill, Xia Qingqing.
Ye Ningxiang slowly walked up to Xia Qingqing, rudely raised Xia Qingqing's chin, the corners of her mouth rose, revealing a sinister smile.
"Isn't this Xia Qingqing, the number one beauty in the world, let you suffer such a crime, Ning Xiang is really guilty. ”
After speaking, Ye Ningxiang turned her head to look at the soldier in charge of escorting, and said with a smile: "I want this woman, just take it directly to Tingwei Prison." ”
"No. ”
Looking at Ye Ningxiang's meaningful smile when she left, Xia Qingqing's heart was filled with a hint of coolness, and a look of fear flashed in her eyes.
Because he had long known that Father Ye and his party would arrive in a few days, Xiao Qingyu prepared a beautiful mansion in advance for the Ye family to live in. At this moment, Xiao Qingyu was waiting outside the gate of this mansion in person.
"Father-in-law. ”
Seeing the dusty Father Ye, Xiao Qingyu bowed respectfully and smiled.
"Your Majesty, you can't help it, Your Majesty!"
Daddy Ye hurriedly waved his hand, took two steps back, and then knelt on the ground, just like Mu Xize did when he first saw Daddy Ye.
Xiao Qingyu smiled even more, and gently helped Father Ye up, "There's nothing to do, Ning Xiang is about to become my wife, and you are naturally my father-in-law." ”
Father Ye didn't say much anymore, and let Xiao Qingyu take his arm and enter the mansion.
Not long after sitting in the main hall, Xiao Qingyu suddenly looked embarrassed, and after several hesitations, he finally opened his mouth.
"Ning Xiang, I still need you to go to the Shangyi Bureau in a while, and let the palace people of the Shangyi Bureau measure the size of your clothes, so that they can make a big wedding dress as soon as possible. I'll take care of my father-in-law. ”
When is it not possible to measure the size of the clothes, but you have to be in a hurry, although Ye Ningxiang was puzzled by this, she still responded and hurriedly rushed to the Shangyi Bureau.
"Okay, Ning Xiang is not here now, and I still have to emphasize some words. ”
Xiao Qingyu's gaze suddenly became very serious, and the smile that had been hanging on his face also dispersed, making Daddy Ye's family feel terrified.
"From now on, you don't mention half a word about Mu Xize in front of Ning Xiang, otherwise, you will go and be with Mu Xize as a companion!"
The cold, threatening words made Daddy Ye's family break out in a cold sweat, and they all knelt on the ground and swore that they would never reveal anything about Mu Xize to Ye Ningxiang.
They only saw Xiao Qingyu's terrifying momentum, but they didn't see the loss and helplessness on Xiao Qingyu's face when he left. In order to let Ye Ningxiang never remember Mu Xize, in order to let Ye Ningxiang stay by his side with peace of mind, he even used the despicable behavior of threatening a few ignorant people, which is really ridiculous to think about.
Coming out of Father Ye's mansion, Xiao Qingyu returned to Longhua Palace without delay, because at this time, there was a person in Longhua Palace who was extremely important to him.
"Let His Royal Highness King Yi wait for a long time, Yu is here to make amends to you. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Qingyu bowed deeply to Mu Jinglian, who was standing in the center of the main hall with his hands and feet bound by iron chains.
Mu Sitang, who was standing behind Mu Jinglian, stared at Mu Jinglian with big eyes of fear, as if he was afraid that Xiao Qingyu would do something life-threatening to Mu Jinglian.
"I can't imagine that your child has such courage and courage at such a young age, and he will always be able to soar in the future. ”
"Jing Lian is no longer the king of Yi, but he is just a prisoner of the fallen country, and he is not worthy of the emperor's respect. ”
Xiao Qingyu didn't pay attention to Mu Jinglian's words, and continued to look at Mu Sitang, who was clinging to Mu Jinglian's body, with regret in his eyes.
"Such a talented child really shouldn't be a slave and be a coolie for the rest of his life. ”
Then, Xiao Qingyu walked to the dragon chair in the right position, waved his sleeves and turned around to sit on the dragon chair, his face showing a strong domineering spirit.
"Mu Jinglian, I don't want to say anything more. I appreciate your talent and want you to do things for the country, and I will not miss you if I am an official or knight. Your son I will also ask the best teacher to train and teach him. ”
Mu Jinglian sneered, and his warm face suddenly showed indelible hatred.
"The emperor destroyed my country, killed my soldiers, destroyed my homeland, and still wanted my royal family to die for you?"
"Yes, I appreciate you, and I want to use you again. ”
"But I don't want to!"
Mu Jinglian clenched his fists, if his hands were not bound, he was afraid that he would rush to the front of the hall and ask for Xiao Qingyu's life.
Xiao Qingyu was not annoyed, and continued to show a warm smile.
"On the way south, I prepared a carriage for you, so that you were always with your son, and you were treated with good food and drink all the way, and now I have taken you directly to Longhua Palace, an honor that has never been enjoyed by that captive. Putting aside the hatred of the country and the family, Xiao can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to you. Therefore, I hope that His Royal Highness King Yi will think about it carefully, and after thinking about it, he will reply to me again. ”
As soon as Xiao Qingyu's words fell, Mu Jinglian opened his mouth immediately.
"I think about it, I will never serve Ruiguo, whether to be directly executed or demoted to slavery, Jing Lian is at the mercy of the emperor's arrangement. ”
Mu Jinglian's attitude was still firm, and his face was cold, as if he was forcibly suppressing the anger and resentment in his heart.
Hearing Mu Jinglian's words blurted out without thinking at all, Xiao Qingyu suddenly let out a wild laugh, and then looked at the slightly embarrassed father and son in front of him with some disappointment.
"Well, since His Royal Highness King Yi is so resolute, then don't blame me for being ruthless. Someone came, put the Mu father and son in the prison, confiscated into slavery, and exiled to Zhangzhou in the southwest tomorrow. ”
"No. ”
