"Grandson to the Imperial Grandmother. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Qingyu knelt on his knees, clasped his hands into fists, and kowtowed to the Queen Mother very respectfully. Facing her grandson from a humble background, the Queen Mother seemed to be very bored in her heart, turned her head, and didn't even want to see Xiao Qingyu.

"Yo, it's you, didn't you go to leave the country to save the princess who left the country, and then you were poisoned, why haven't you died!"

The Queen Mother's words were full of anger and full of anger.

"Back to the emperor's grandmother, the grandson's poison has been resolved, and now his body is fine. As for the princess who left the king, she was originally a meticulous work that her grandson had carefully cultivated for many years to sneak into the country, and she was her grandson's most trusted subordinate. ”

In the face of the Queen Mother's aggressive tone, Xiao Qingyu was always calm and relaxed, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What do you mean, are you going to fight for this throne?"

The Queen Mother stepped down from the dragon chair and walked to Xiao Qingyu's side, her face suddenly became cold and terrifying.

"Why did the imperial grandmother ask knowingly?"

Xiao Qingyu sneered, and the eyes that looked at the Queen Mother became cold and terrifying, and a kind of self-respecting aura emanated from his body from the inside out, making the Queen Mother feel creepy.

"Empress Dowager Qi, now that the second prince has recovered from his injuries, he should naturally be the best candidate for our Darui monarch. In addition, the second prince has been intelligent since childhood, brave and strategic, and I believe that under the leadership of the second prince, we will definitely prosper the country and the country and the people. ”

Prime Minister Feng Jingzhi suddenly interjected, not only that, but he simply knelt in front of the Queen Mother, which was quite threatening.

"Feng Jingzhi!"

Unexpectedly, Feng Jingzhi, the first minister of the Rui Kingdom, who had always supported Xiao Qingyan with her, would suddenly defect, and the Queen Mother was so angry that she trembled all over, gritting her teeth and roaring at Feng Jingzhi.

"Queen Mother, I hope you will comply with the will of heaven and support the second prince as the new emperor of Ruiguo!"

As Feng Jingzhi kowtowed, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty below also knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Queen Mother.

After struggling inwardly for a moment, the Queen Mother smiled extremely reluctantly, and barely squeezed a sentence out of her mouth.

"The second son of the emperor, Xiao Qingyu, has both ability and political integrity, has the ability to govern the country, and the mourning family conforms to the will of heaven, and specially appoints him as the new monarch to protect the country for ten thousand years. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"The Empress Dowager Chitose Chitose, Chitose!"

On the day Xiao Qingyu ascended the throne, the golden carpet was spread from the palace gate to the Taiji Hall where the enthronement ceremony was held. The Rui official in a white filial piety robe bowed in three steps and two kowtows, kneeling down to Xiao Qingyu, who was wearing a dragon robe and a crown sitting in the middle of the steps.

Xiao Qingyu waved his sleeves, turned around, sat on the dragon chair, gently stroked the armrest made of pure gold with his palm, the corners of his mouth were filled with a shallow smile, and his body exuded the aura of an emperor who was proud of the world.

In the two months since Xiao Qingyu ascended the throne, the situation in the world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Rui Guo marched into the country in a big way, because of the desire to avenge the prince of Rui, the road to the north was like a bamboo, and in the blink of an eye, half of the country was swallowed up.

However, Mu Jingyuan, the monarch of the country, has lost the support of the people because he is not of royal blood, and has listened to slander and killed countless loyal ministers and good generals in the past year or so in the past year, and now no one has the ability to resist the rapid offensive army of the Rui Kingdom.

This time, Xiao Qingyu decided to go out in person, the purpose was to break through the capital of the country and completely destroy the country. Half a month ago, Xiao Qingyu hinted at Ye Ningxiang, hoping that she could follow him on the expedition and see his moment of victory.

Originally, Ye Ningxiang was reluctant in her heart, after all, Ye Ningxiang still had extraordinary feelings for the sergeant who left the country. However, thinking that Xiao Qingyu ate the poison that would surely die without the slightest hesitation, she really couldn't bear to refuse him. So when Xiao Qingyu asked her for the third time, she finally couldn't help it and agreed to him.

In just two months, Yeqi County, Rinzhou, and even Shuozhou, which Ye Ningxiang had desperately guarded, were all occupied by the Rui Kingdom, and His Royal Highness King Kang, the fourth brother of Mu Jingyuan, who had been guarding the frontier, was killed in battle, and the generals who left the country and were still famous also died one after another.

Looking at the world outside the window with a thick bloody atmosphere, Ye Ningxiang felt extremely bitter in her heart, as if a boulder was pressing on her heart, making her breathless.

Xiao Qingyu lowered the curtain and held Ye Ningxiang's hands very solemnly, "Ningxiang, these things have nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself." ”

Seeing that Ye Ningxiang's big eyes seemed to be soaked in tears, Xiao Qingyu smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and continued: "Even if you have to suffer the curse of heaven, that person should be me, and I won't have anything to do with you." ”

"Childe, I don't blame you for being cruel. ”

Hearing Xiao Qingyu's words with the intention of cursing himself, Ye Ningxiang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly explained.

"I don't believe in heaven or earth, I only believe in myself, even if I suffer from God's curse in the future, I will definitely turn things around and be invincible with my own strength. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Qingyu's eyes were deep, but firm, revealing an unconcealable domineering spirit all around him.

"Your Majesty, you have arrived outside Jing'an City. A soldier bowed respectfully outside the carriage.

"Okay, let's camp first and attack Jing'an City directly. ”

The soldier outside the carriage hesitated for a moment, then replied respectfully, "No." ”

"Siege now?"

Xiao Qingyu looked at Ye Ningxiang, who was full of puzzlement, and showed a warm smile.

"They wouldn't have thought we'd attack at this time, so they weren't well prepared. Only by doing so can he be caught off guard. ”

Hearing Xiao Qingyu's firm attitude, Ye Ningxiang no longer stopped her, but she felt very uneasy in her heart, a kind of uneasiness that she had never felt before.

Outside Jing'an City, Ye Ningxiang followed Xiao Qingyu into an extremely luxurious chariot, and the army of Rui Guo had been prepared under Xiao Qingyu's will, just waiting for Xiao Qingyu to give an order to enter Jing'an City.

Sure enough, as Xiao Qingyu expected, the soldiers defending the city in Jing'an did not expect that they had just arrived in Jing'an, and the exhausted Rui soldiers would come directly to attack the city without stopping for a moment, and they were all shocked.

The side gate of Jing'an City Gate was opened, and countless defenders of Jing'an City rushed out of the city, like an impermeable wall blocking the Rui soldiers. However, even if there is such a group of hot-blooded men who have left the country, the defeat of leaving the country has been decided, and only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jing'an City can defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of Da Rui!

Ye Ningxiang sighed and turned her head, unable to bear to look at these soldiers who came to send them to death.

Then, she suddenly felt some abnormal movements of the soldiers around her, and even Xiao Qingyu's breathing beside her became unsteady. She looked back in confusion, trying to find out why they were so strange.

I saw a man dressed in white plain clothes, like a flying immortal outside the sky, suddenly floating down from the gate of Jing'an. The man's smooth white hair poured down from his shoulders, a pair of peach blossom eyes with a red halo, and his skin as white as congealed white jade made people feel red and excited, enchanting, and evil spirits were revealed on his body.

Mu Xize, who had been missing for many days, thought that Mu Xize would never see her again, appeared in front of her with such a charming posture without warning.

At this moment, he was standing not far in front of Ye Ningxiang, standing at the front of the sergeant from the country. The charm of the peach blossom eyes is no longer warm, and it is so cold and deep that it makes people panic in the bottom of their hearts.

It was obviously late spring, and it should be sunny and clear, but the sky above them was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and from time to time there were several rumbling thunders, which shook people's eardrums. The blackened clouds obscured the sun and continued to fall, even giving the illusion that they were about to crush people into meat sauce.

The corners of Mu Xize's mouth rose, revealing an evil and crazy smile, and ten-inch-long nails suddenly appeared on his hands. The wind was suddenly raging around him, making it almost impossible to open his eyes.

It was also the blink of an eye, his plain white clothes were already full of bright red, and there were countless bloody corpses in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, those young men who were full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm for serving the country turned into dead corpses in stunned and frightened, stacked in different forms in the open space outside Jing'an City, with a pair of big eyes open, looking at this filthy world, full of reluctance and nostalgia.

These young soldiers who gave up the peace of their hometown, threw their heads and spilled their blood, just to protect their families and defend the country, these young soldiers who had parents and younger siblings, these young soldiers who had faith and hope in their hearts, were ruthlessly lost their lives by Mu Xize when they couldn't understand what was happening in front of them.

Looking at the blood spurting like a waterfall in front of her and the corpses piling up like mountains, Ye Ningxiang lost her mind and looked up to the sky and roared, until her voice was hoarse, until she couldn't make any sound anymore. She opened her teary eyes and looked at Mu Xize, who was addicted to murder in the center of the Rui soldiers, her eyes were full of despair and resentment.

With great effort, she moved her trembling right hand to her waist and pulled out the mahogany dagger that hung from her waist.

She never imagined that she would one day use a peachwood dagger against her husband, and she only carried it with her that day because it was light and sharp, and it was a good weapon for self-defense.

However, at this time, this small and light peach wood dagger seemed to weigh a thousand catties, so heavy that it was almost difficult for Ye Ningxiang to hold it up and move it in the slightest.

On that day, according to the water village, she once threatened that if Mu Xize caused disaster again, she would kill him with a peach wood dagger.

At that time, the ruthless words were just her angry words, and her husband would make her heart move just by letting her look at it from afar, such a man she had loved all her life, even if he did all the bad things, even if he killed people like hemp, how could she be willing to let him die under the peach wood dagger!

But in front of the righteousness, in front of these countless corpses, she still involuntarily took out the peach wood dagger, and involuntarily aimed the dagger at the love of her life.

"Yuzawa, Yuzawa, stop killing people!"

Ye Ningxiang walked out of the carriage and walked to the land covered in blood. Her voice was hoarse and full of love, and her words showed a tremor from the bottom of her heart, which made people mourn in their hearts.

A strong wind suddenly blew in front of Ye Ningxiang, and the man covered in blood who walked out of the strong wind was Mu Xize.

"Yuzawa. ”

Ye Ningxiang choked for a long time before she reluctantly opened her mouth: "Let's let go of everything, let's go to a place where no one knows us and start over, okay!"

She let it go, even if Mu Xize killed her father, even if Mu Xize killed all the people of Yishui Village, she didn't resent him, as long as he could stop and stop killing innocents, she was willing to return to the mountains and forests with him and never enter the world.

Full of anticipation in exchange for a deep cold sneer.

"Xiao Yezi, you say that you want to be with me for the rest of your life, but you have a peach dagger in your hand that can kill me. So, since you are on your guard, get out of the way and let me kill the man behind you. ”

It turned out that Mu Xize's ultimate goal was to take Xiao Qingyu's life! Although Ye Ningxiang was shocked in her heart, she opened her arms without hesitation, wanting to protect the man behind him who sacrificed his life to save him.

"Ning Xiang, I don't need you to interfere in my affairs with him. ”

Xiao Qingyu grabbed Ye Ningxiang's arm and tried to pull her away, but a sneer came from front of him again.

"Didn't your uncle tell you that eating my heart is equivalent to being reborn, and the abilities of my previous life will be gone. Mu Xize looked at his bloody hands with interest, and continued to smile: "Now, you can no longer manipulate this scepter with boundless spiritual power. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was another gust of wind in front of Ye Ningxiang, and when she raised her eyes, Mu Xize had already attacked Xiao Qingyu.
