The meal ended in a weird atmosphere.
All the soldiers were staring and speculating nervously, but the father and son were extremely relaxed, as if they were at home. Since Major General Qin had not given the order to take action, they did not dare to move.
After dinner, Qin Muyu saw the father and son off.
Qin Muxue patted his head:
"Just let them go like that?"
Why didn't she quite understand what her elder brother meant by this action?
Call the enemy general over, treat him with good wine and food, and then send him away.
Since ancient times, there has never been a war like this.
Lu Yunchu said in a deep voice: "From what I see, it seems that Big Brother and King Yin have a good relationship."
"Are they friends?"
How come she doesn't know?
"Brother, you and King Yin have never met before. Even if you did, it was on the battlefield, where the situation was tense. How did you become friends?"
Lu Yunchu hesitated: "This..."
Who can understand?
On the vast southern Xinjiang plain, the forest branches and leaves rustled in the autumn wind, birds flapped their wings to return to their nests, and the scenery outside the Great Wall was magnificent.
Tuoba Mo was chasing a hare, running and jumping not far away:
"Don't run!"
"Stop... I see you!"
The little body rushed around in the woods, three times more lively than a hare.
Two tall figures walked side by side, their shadows projected on the grass, overlapping hazily. Qin Muyu held his sword, and King Yin walked with his hands behind his back. Their crimson robes brushed against the grass, rustling. The air was exceptionally peaceful at this moment.
To the cliff.
Stop.
"Five miles further is the Nanman military camp. Take your son away. I won't send him off." Qin Muyu said in a cold voice.
King Yin tilted his head and laughed:
"Don't be so impatient, General Qin. Some people's parting may be the last time we see each other in this life, but we will meet again when we go back."
Qin Muyu has no patience:
"Goodbye."
Even if we meet, it will be on the battlefield.
Their country and interests are destined to be on opposite sides.
The smile on King Yin's lips did not fade: "You are young after all, so you speak too absolutely."
"My friendship with King Yin doesn't seem to have reached this level. After we part today, we will only be enemies when we meet again."
"Anyway, thank you for taking care of my child for a few days. After a while, I will give Nanjiang to you. How about that?"
Qin Muyu was slightly startled, and turned his head to look at him, with a flash of obvious surprise in his cold eyes.
Give it to him?
What tricks does he want to play?
"I want Southern Xinjiang, and I will take it back with my own strength!"
King Yin just smiled and waved to Tuoba Mo over there, "Ah Mo, we should go back and say goodbye to uncle."
Tuoba Mo trotted over, with a little sweat on his forehead:
"Brother...Uncle, I'm going back with my father. Next time when we are free, my father and I will come to play with you again, okay?"
Of course not!
Definitely not!
Get as far away as you can!
Qin Muyu clenched his sword and glanced at his delicate and tender face. He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by those fiery eyes and responded perfunctorily:
"Uh-huh."
"That's great, thank you uncle!"
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of galloping horses came from not far away.
"Master! Something happened!"
Xiao Jue hurried over with an anxious look on his face. Before his horse had even stopped, he jumped off and staggered to the front of King Yin, whispering to him:
"There has been a mutiny in the capital, and the princess has seized power."
King Yin suddenly shouted: "What did you say?!"
Tuoba Mingyue seized power?
Wasn't she trapped in Lancheng, unable to move forward or backward? How did she suddenly appear in the imperial capital?
"Where's the prince?"
"She killed him with her own hands. The king detained him, and all the powerful officials who plotted against her... were killed."
Overnight, the palace was stained with blood.
Once the palace gate is closed, everything is cut off.
The musicians played music, and there was singing and dancing, as if a lively and grand celebration was being held... Almost all the people were talking about the fact that this was a grand ceremony to celebrate the prince's return.
Until three days later...
The power has been transferred and the overall situation has been determined.
Xiao Jue said anxiously, "The Yin Palace has been captured, and our people are being quickly eliminated. Master, we can no longer stay in Southern Xinjiang. Once the princess reaches adulthood, it will be too late!"
King Yin's expression was more solemn than ever before, his thin lips were pursed, and his whole body exuded an extremely cold aura.
What a good Tuoba Mingyue!
We thought she had been in Lancheng the whole time, but unexpectedly she managed to escape, catching everyone off guard!
No one would have expected that a princess who was forced into a desperate situation, lost the support of the people, had no reinforcements and was left with no way out, would suddenly overturn the table and kill everyone.
What a cruel one!
"Hurry and gather our forces, and rush back to the capital overnight."
"yes!"
King Yin turned around and strode towards Qin Muyu, "General Qin, I'm afraid Ah Mo will have to trouble you for a few more days. When I come back, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Having said this, he mounted his horse and left immediately.
"withdraw!"
"Father?"
"King Yin!"
The two men shouted but could not stop him. The man had already ridden away on his horse, his figure quickly disappearing into the woods in the distance. Qin Muyu and Tuoba Mo stood there, looking at each other, with question marks in their eyes.
Throw your son to him again!
Is there any father like this in the world?
"He's not your biological father, is he?"
"yes."
"What?!"
"I'm right, he is indeed not my biological father. My father died in the war, and my father adopted me."
"..."
-
Lancheng.
Under the siege, the atmosphere has been solemn for days. The people have closed their doors and dared not go out. On the high city walls stood the guards of the Southern Barbarians, and below the walls stood the Chu army that had been stationed for many days.
"The Chu army is still watching?"
A slender figure walked up the stairs and climbed up the city wall step by step.
"Princess."
"Meet the princess!"
The soldiers on both sides bowed their heads and saluted, "Princess, the Chu army has been approaching the city. We are guarding day and night and dare not relax."
Tuoba Mingyue stood behind the wall, looking down from above, and raised his voice:
"Then keep a close eye on it!"
"If the Chu army makes any unusual moves and dares to attack the city, we will massacre the city and take tens of thousands of civilians with us!"
"yes!"
Tuoba Mingyue straightened his cloak, turned around and walked down the city wall. When he reached a deserted place, he dared to take off the disguise on his face...
It’s Xiangyue!
Chu army camp.
In recent days, the two sides have been in a stalemate. The Chu army did not dare to attack without authorization, and the Nanman hid in Lancheng and did not act rashly. This situation has been maintained for more than ten days.
The same is true today.
Xiao Yexing sat on the horse, watching Tuoba Mingyue appear and leave, his brows slightly furrowed.
Over the past few days, the Nanman princesses all came out for a look, saying nothing else and doing nothing else. There were no negotiations and no military plans. Faced with the predicament of the siege, they did not take any measures at all and seemed to be waiting to die on the spot.
With her strategy and courage, is she willing to sit and wait for death?
"Meet the Regent."
From the rear, there was the sound of salutes.
Xiao Yexing turned around and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chu Dichi came over and asked, "How is the battle going?"
Xiao Yexing dismounted from his horse and expressed his doubts.
There seems to be something wrong with this southern barbarian princess.
I don't know what evil he is up to or if he has some other purpose.
Chu Di thought for a moment and said, "Send a few spies into Lancheng to investigate."
"But right now, Lancheng's defense is like an iron barrel, and it's difficult for our people to intervene."
"Lan City is so big, I don't believe there is no opportunity to take advantage of it. I will find a way to send spies in!"
