Two tall figures, one black and one white, stood on the ruins, with a full moon above their heads. The wind blew their hair, entangled them.
Qianhun spoke, his voice a little low, "Bai Ren, we are good brothers, right?"
Bai Ren's eyes darkened and he lowered his eyes. He knew what Qian Hun was going to say. Tonight, he and Qian Hun were tracking those people together. With Qian Hun's intelligence, he would definitely see something.
"We have followed you since we were teenagers, and everything you have is given by you!" Qianhun continued.
Bai Ren interrupted him, "Qianhun, I know, I understand, don't worry, this is the only time, and the last time. If I do anything to let you down again, Bai Ren will kill himself in front of you!"
Qianhun nodded, "As long as you understand!"
Who of them dares to sleep if the master doesn’t come back?
The same restaurant, the same seat, and even the waiter was the same. However, this time, Dong Qing'er waited and waited, and even stood in front of the restaurant for two hours. Until a ray of dawn appeared in the sky, the person she was waiting for still didn't come!
Tonight, there is another person who stays up all night with her, Prince of Changning Yue Chengning! This is his last day in Yuecheng, and also his only chance. Now the Queen Mother and Dong Qing'er are useless, so he can only rely on himself!
"Master, isn't this a bit too hasty? We lost most of our forces last time. The forces in the city are no longer enough to pose a threat to the Imperial City. The rest are rushing to Yuecheng. It will be the second half of the night at the earliest!"
Yue Chengning stood up coldly, "This is the only way. While the remnants of Louxi Kingdom are fighting for the Seventh Zhan Linglong, Yue Nanchen is too busy to handle it. It shouldn't be a problem to seize the palace. As long as we hold the Queen Mother hostage, we don't have to worry about Yue Nanxuan and Yue Nanchen not surrendering!"
He suddenly sneered, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
This is a great opportunity. That stupid emperor Yue Nanxuan actually took the initiative to take out the national treasure of Louxi. Haha, it really is God's help to me!"
He turned around and stared coldly at the secret guards, "They will never know what Qizhan Linglong means to Louxi Country!"
The secret guard lowered his eyes, not knowing why he always felt uneasy. In fact, he was not the only one who felt uneasy, Yue Chengning felt even stronger, he was taking a risk.
If he failed, he might never be able to recover in this life, but... he narrowed his eyes coldly. The large dragon throne was his lifelong dream. He had been planning for so many years, waiting for such a day!
Suddenly, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door. Yue Chengning's eyes darkened. This was in the palace. Which of his subordinates was so blind as to make such a big noise so late at night?
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw the door was suddenly pushed open, and a guard crawled in and fell in front of Yue Chengning.
Yue Chengning's heart suddenly sank when he saw this. He knew the man lying on the ground, Mu Yuan, whom he had sent to meet him outside the city. Could it be...
His eyes darkened, his heart shrank, he pulled Mu Yuan up from the ground, grabbed his collar and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"
Mu Yuan was just trembling all over, his eyes were wide open, as if he was under great shock, his mouth was wide open, he was gasping for breath, and after a long time, a few words came out of his mouth, "Dead, all dead... The ground is full of blood, and the ground is full of body parts..."
Yue Chengning's hand holding his collar suddenly trembled. Mu Yuan was his subordinate, and had followed him in battles across the country for so many years. He had seen the world, but now he was frightened like this. The scene was so tragic, and...
All the people? That's thousands of people, how could...
The dark guard stepped forward and threw his hands on
Mu Yuan's acupuncture points made him sober up, "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"
Mu Yuan sat on the ground in a daze, raised his lifeless eyes, and suddenly cried out loudly: "They are all dead, thousands of people, the corpses are more than ten meters high, not a single body is intact... not a single one is not completely dead..."
Mu Yuan didn't dare to say anything. He was not a coward. He was a fierce general under King Changning. But tonight, he knew what hell was. He saw that man, standing on those broken corpses, covered in blood.
He was laughing, and that laughter... Mu Yuan suddenly sat on the ground and vomited, and all he vomited was green water. He must have vomited out bile.
Yue Chengning stood in front of Mu Yuan in disbelief, his face as pale as paper. It was impossible, absolutely impossible. Those were his old subordinates and all his hard work. How could it be possible? Impossible!
The secret guard also became anxious and stepped forward to grab Mu Yuan, "Did you see it wrongly? There are thousands of people, how is it possible!"
Mu Yuan didn't say anything, he just vomited, and finally he passed out from vomiting.
Yue Chengning closed his eyes, he slowly sat down, and sat there for a long time, until a ray of dawn appeared outside the window. The rising sun shone on his face, and he looked more like a walking corpse.
"Master, you have to hold on. This is just what Mu Yuan said himself, and we don't know whether the news is accurate or not!" the secret guard said anxiously.
The man finally slowly opened his eyes, but there was a deathly silence in his eyes, and there was no will to fight anymore. He smiled bitterly, he already knew whether the news was true or not. Now it was already dawn, and he was still silent. If he was not dead, then where had he gone?
The secret guard also understood it, but he still had a little hope in his heart. Maybe Mu Yuan was dazzled and there was no one to support him. Maybe the enemy dared not to attack the city.
Certainly!
Suddenly, there was the sound of clothes outside the door. The secret guard was delighted, and then he heard the eunuch's shrill voice shouting, "The imperial decree has arrived!"
The door opened, and the eunuch in charge of the Queen Mother came in with the imperial edict in his hand. He looked coldly at the Prince of Changning, who was sitting upright with a pale face, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Prince of Changning, accept the edict!"
Prince Changning sneered, and that smile made the eunuch in charge tremble. He looked at Mu Yuan lying on the ground, shrank his neck, and hurriedly opened the imperial edict, "The Queen Mother's decree, Prince Changning must leave Yuecheng before 3:45 pm, this is my order!"
After he finished reading, he didn't dare to say anything more. He just handed the imperial edict to the secret guard beside him and turned around and left. After being on duty in the palace for so many years, he still has some good eyesight!
“Master…” The secret guard didn’t know what to do with the imperial edict in his hand, when he saw the man suddenly stand up and said in a cold voice: “Let’s go! As long as I, Yue Chengning, am still alive, I will come back one day!”
In the emperor's bedroom, Yue Nanxuan also did not sleep all night. He lay on the comfortable dragon bed, and the more he thought about Red Rose, the more similar she was to Lan Shuiyao. That voice, those eyes, that movement...
Finally, he could not help but sit up, ruffled his hair, and screamed wildly, scaring the guards outside so much that they dared not come forward. When it was almost dawn, a guard came to report that a large number of corpses were found twenty miles outside the city. The corpses were all equipped with sophisticated battle clothes and weapons. They were afraid that someone had evil intentions and was killed by King Yongnan.
"Kill them all?" Yue Nanxuan opened his scarlet eyes, "How many people?"
The guard's expression did not change, and he said in a staccato voice: "It's impossible to count, they are all in a bunch, but they stretch for more than ten miles, there should be more than two thousand people!"
Yue Nanxuan was stunned and sat on the bed
, I didn’t think about what those people were doing, I just thought, based on my brother’s temper, if he knew that Lan Shuiyao was the Red Rose, if he knew that he was competing with him for a woman... I suddenly felt a chill on my back!
Oh my, why is his life so miserable? He finally fell in love with two women, but...
The guards over there watched the emperor beat his chest and stamp his feet, puzzled and asked: "Your Majesty, that corpse..."
"Let Prince Yongnan handle it!" Yue Nanxuan said angrily, turned around and hid in the corner of the bed, drawing circles, and kept chanting in his mouth, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do...
Prince Changning's departure this time was even more desolate than last time. At least the Queen Mother was reluctant to let him go last time, but now...
Prince Changning stood in front of the palace gate, looking at the empty city gate with only guards standing guard, he sneered, lowered his eyes, and gritted his teeth unwillingly. He will come back, he will!
Xiaoxi was dawdling behind, the young lady had not come back yet. She was the young lady's maid who came with her dowry. What should she do if the young lady didn't come back?
Finally, she mustered up her courage, walked to the front of Prince Changning and knelt down: "Prince, the young lady hasn't come back yet, why don't we send someone to look for her..."
Yue Chengning didn't say anything, but just stared at Xiaoxi coldly. Xiaoxi shrank his neck and knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
In the distance, Dong Qing'er, who had been waiting all night, came towards us step by step. Her carefully prepared clothes had already been wet by the dew, and her hair was a little messy, not as shiny as before.
The ugliest thing is her face, so pale. She and Prince Changning are really worthy of being husband and wife, the same color!
"Miss, you are finally back. I am going back, and we..." Xiaoxi quickly got up from the ground and ran towards Dong Qing'er crying. She was the young lady's dowry maid, and she would go wherever the young lady went!
