Chapter 270 Sending Xie Jingmo away means letting him die
Deputy General Gao is a hypocritical person.
If the other person was talking about Xie Jingmo, he would think this was not acceptable.
But when the other party said there was an alternative.
He would think, that’s great, there’s no need for war, no deaths, and they can all go home.
So, he laughed.
But when the other party said the three words "Muchengyan", Deputy General Gao could no longer laugh.
It’s not that he has any special feelings for Mu Chengyan, it’s simply because he knows that no matter what, as long as he has to choose between the two, if Mu Chengyan is the option, Yun Zhao will only choose to protect Mu Chengyan.
On the surface, this is a choice.
It's actually humiliating.
Even the Huns knew about Yun Zhao's preference for Mu Chengyan.
Deputy General Gao gritted his teeth, pointed at the Dalai Lama, and cursed, "If you want to fight, then do it. Stop talking nonsense here! I'm still indulging your bad temper!"
Deputy General Gao turned to Xie Jingmo and said, "Jingmo, let's go!"
Xie Jingmo still stood where he was, even though he knew it was a bit stupid.
He knew that he was destined to be abandoned.
But he still stood there, like a self-torture, thinking -
Listen to the answer.
It's a good deal to exchange a woman for more than ten years of peace.
The answer is the same for men.
The ministers behind him had already begun discussing whether to let Xie Jingmo go or Mu Chengyan go to the Xiongnu.
Xie Jingmo looked at Yun Zhao from a distance.
In a moment, he knew the answer.
He wanted to hear Yun Zhao say it himself, as if—
He had to hear her say it herself before he could tell himself bit by bit in the years to come.
That's all we have to do.
There is no ending.
He needed an answer.
He is too paranoid. Once he sets his mind on someone, he will never give up even if he dies.
He knew she hated and resented him, but he still tried hard, but this time... it was different.
The mountains are high and the seas are vast, and we will never see each other again in life or death.
Xiongnu rarely saw Xie Jingmo so desolate, and he felt happy and relaxed. He said generously, "Queen Mother, I will give you three days. I look forward to your answer in three days."
The Huns retreated with a smile.
There was a bustling crowd of people going up to the court, but in the end, only Xie Jingmo and Yun Zhao were left.
Xie Jingmo was still wearing blood-stained armor. Three days before he came, he even fought a battle with the Huns.
"Who do you want to choose?" Xie Jingmo knew the answer, knew that he would be abandoned, and knew that Yun Zhao would not forgive him easily, but he still wanted to ask.
Yun Zhao looked at him, "General Xie, what do you think?"
Xie Jingmo actually wanted to ask more.
But after being silent for a long time, he felt that it was time to stop. Even if she didn't feel bad, he didn't want her to waste too much energy on this matter.
"I'll go." Xie Jingmo slowly took off his armor, the clothes underneath were still wet.
"Pick a good day and I'll go." Xie Jingmo thought, if the person he married was not Yun Zhao, then it would be the same to anyone, but at least the day of his wedding had to be chosen by Yun Zhao.
At this moment, Xie Jingmo suddenly understood more deeply how she felt when she sent Yun Zhao to Lincheng.
Xie Jingmo, heavy armor hanging on one hand, said slowly, "I'm a little tired. I'll go back home first. You decide the date. I'll go see the Dalai Lama later. That's it."
Xie Jingmo left after saying this.
He decided the ending for himself, but he was still sad.
With red at the corners of his eyes, he stepped out of the hall. Guo Tao's angry voice could be heard from outside, "Jing Mo, you are confused! You killed so many Xiongnu people. How could they let you go if you go? Have you thought about how you will live in the future? Will you die in despair and humiliation?!"
Xie Jingmo said something, but Yun Zhao didn't hear it clearly.
All I knew was that Guo Tao was shedding tears and his voice was trembling.
A few days later.
Yu Tao, the Lord of Lincheng, stood in front of the Grand Palace of Yun Zhao under the stars and the moon.
"Empress Dowager! I heard about Xie Jingmo's situation and came here specially."
"There are some things I didn't tell you at first because I really wanted to keep you in Lincheng. I had selfish motives. But now, knowing that you're going to marry Xie Jingmo and go to Xiongnu, I feel uneasy. There are some things that Xie Jingmo won't say himself, so I have to say them!"
Yun Zhao looked at Yu Tao.
Yu Tao said, "Back then, I exchanged five thousand armors for you because the former Queen Mother issued an imperial decree to send Chen Tingting to the frontier. You were an obstacle. If I couldn't win you over from Xie Jingmo, I would kill you."
"When I first proposed to Xie Jingmo to exchange you for 10,000 pieces of armor, Xie Jingmo refused."
"I had the intention to kill you, but Xie Jingmo saw through it several times. Finally, I had to show him the former empress dowager's decree. Only then did Xie Jingmo agree to exchange five thousand pieces of armor for you to come to Lincheng. The condition was that you could come and go freely in Lincheng in the future. And, after six months, after he had dealt with Chen Tingting, he would exchange the five thousand pieces of armor for you back."
"I know you've hated him for all these years. You hated him for giving up on you so easily, and you hated him for not helping you. But the Queen Mother was watching you too closely, and he had no choice. Later, something happened in your family, and I suggested that I explain what happened back then to you.
But Xie Jingmo wouldn't let me say it, he said..."
Yu Tao sighed, "He said that family is the most important thing to you. Now that you have no one to rely on, only hatred can keep you alive, so he would rather you hate her."
"For all these years, he never told me what happened back then. He carried all of this on his shoulders alone. Now I have to speak for him. Back then, he never thought of giving up on you. But later, things got out of his control one by one. But even so, he never gave up on you."
After Yu Tao finished speaking, silence fell throughout the hall.
"He...is not very good at loving."
"The method is so clumsy and crude that I can't stand it."
"But he never gave up on you, not even in death."
"Think back on your journey. If he had truly interfered and plotted, would you have been able to sit in your current position? This is a blasphemous statement, but I still have to say that he simply gave you unlimited indulgence without your knowledge. If he wanted the throne, he could have it. He's a member of the Xie family, isn't he?"
"But he was willing to put on armor time and time again, to be the stone under your feet, to help you rise step by step. You only know that he didn't help you when your parents passed away, but how did you know that he wrote letters to everyone he knew at the border,
The person who sent the gift was too impatient and brought the date forward, catching everyone off guard. Yun Zhao, you lost your parents, but what about Xie Jingmo? Didn't he also lose his mother in the palace coup?
It's rare for Yu Tao to talk so much.
"I'm here now just to speak up for Xie Jingmo. You can't bully him just because he doesn't defend himself."
"The situation between the Xiongnu and our dynasty is tense. Sending Xie Jingmo away means he will die!"
They are all generals in the army, and no one wants to see his brothers end up humiliated!
