Chapter 20: The Art of Kings

It's not that Mu Lan is not afraid of death, but, as she and her own princess, it is absolutely impossible for Dong Ling to kill her in public.Of course, with his personality, he would never make it easy for her.

But, the disaster was caused by her, Xiao Yi had already done too much for her, she couldn't bear this kind of affection.

Seeing her kneeling in front of him with a resolute face, the gloom in Dong Lingjue's eyes gradually grew thicker, but his face remained calm. He stared at her for a long time before saying, "It's just your crime of drugging me. Then I can justifiably kill you. What's more... if you really want to bear it all, then, from this moment on, you are no longer a married princess, but a prisoner who killed the king, how about it?"

Mu Lan couldn't figure out what he meant by this at the moment, it meant that she was not to be his concubine anymore?The crime of killing the king is not to behead her, right?Thinking of this, she hurriedly said: "I was just drugged, so it doesn't constitute the crime of killing the king, right? Besides, I can be regarded as saving all of you lives, even if the merits and demerits cannot be offset, you can't condemn me to death, right?" [

Dong Lingjue laughed, "So you are afraid of death? Don't worry, I always pay attention to rewards and punishments." He deliberately bit the last four words hard, and at the end, staring at her, he said: "I can spare you the crime of death, For the rest, I will slowly ask you to pay back."

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Yi's face was clearly anxious. As soon as his body moved, he didn't know where the wound was pulled, and a layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. Before he could say anything else, he closed his eyes and fell down. .

"Xiao Yi!" Mu Lan was frightened by him, she wanted to rush over to have a look, but she calmed down when she caught a glimpse of the surrounding guards and Dong Ling's cold eyes, she didn't move, she just said: "Your Majesty, General Xiao was injured for escorting, you will not ignore it, will you?"

Only then did Dong Lingjue order: "Take it down and ask the imperial doctor to show him."

Several guards stepped forward to carry Xiao Yi away, at this time, Yanfeng rushed back and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have searched carefully and found this." Saying this, he presented a silver token.

Dong Lingjue picked it up to have a look, and said: "He is well informed about the King Qi of the poor country. If I remember correctly, he seems to be the Prince's uncle, right?"

Yanfeng replied: "Your Majesty is right. The King of Qi is good at fighting, and his status in a poor country should not be underestimated. However, since he was severely defeated by the King that year and the two countries negotiated a peace, it is said that he has been idle. Unexpectedly, he dared to plot."

Dong Lingjue played with the token thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "Yanfeng, send someone to give this token to their monarch, and tell him what happened today."

Yanfeng's eyes brightened, "Your Majesty, do you want to?"

"No matter whose order this matter is from them, they will always give me a satisfactory explanation, right?" If this matter was not ordered by their monarch, King Qi's actions would be terrific, even their own. The prince can't escape the relationship.

However, if the king of the poor country really has a big heart, given the current situation of the two countries, the poor country may not dare to go to war, then the King of Qi must be sacrificed as a scapegoat.

No matter what the result is, it is always a pleasure to watch the enemy fight.

Yanfeng also responded with some excitement: "This subordinate knows what to do, this subordinate will order someone to deliver a letter, and by the way, let General Yu come over temporarily to guard."

With the token to dispatch troops and horses under King Qi's command, and the evidence of the dead body, when the time comes, a poor country will not be able to rely on it if it wants to.

Mu Lan listened on the sidelines. Although she didn't know much about these countries, she still understood that some poor countries would probably lose everything by stealing chickens.

Thinking about it this way, I felt a little more balanced.Look, it's not that she can't beat Tang Lingjue, but that he is too old ###giant slippery.

However, this also made her realize even more that the man in front of her was terrifying, and she was afraid that she would suffer a lot this time.

"Why, do you know how to be afraid now?" Dong Ling turned his gaze to her again at some point, and he couldn't miss the annoyance and uneasiness in her eyes, "So, it's better for people to be afraid."

Mu Lan curled her lips and ignored him.It's because she didn't take this ancient man seriously, and now that she has suffered a big loss, she can't blame others. [

However, she couldn't just give in.Next time, she will definitely make a more careful plan.She didn't believe it, with her wisdom, she would really lose to this Dong Lingjue.

As for being afraid, sorry, she never understood.

The sky was getting brighter, and Dong Lingjue didn't let everyone rest for too long, so he ordered to set off.The horses were left behind by the enemy, and the opponent was probably in a hurry to plot against them, and the horses they chose had good range.

Under the glow of the rising sun, Mu Lan could see clearly how tragic the scene in front of her was.The smell of blood in the air was still very strong, and the whole land was stained crimson by blood. Hundreds of corpses were lying beside a deep pit in various postures, like a group of evil spirits crawling out of the pit.

Mu Lan had never seen a corpse with her own eyes, and there were still so many dead bodies, coupled with the strong smell of blood, she couldn't help but vomited it out.

In the end, it was Dong Lingjue who scooped her up on the horse, covered her face with a cloth, rode on the horse, and continued on from the pile of corpses.

Since the King of Qi can send people to ambush, he will definitely not be too far away from here, and he will definitely come to meet him if he does not wait for news.Therefore, for Jiu Liuyi, even Xiao Yi was so badly injured, the guards took care of him and followed him in the team.

The next two days were also peaceful, and in the afternoon of the next day, they finally entered the territory of the Western Chu Kingdom.Someone had been notified earlier that General Yu, who was guarding the pass, had sent troops to meet him, and the camping life for several days was finally over.

Dong Lingjue did not explain how to punish her, but during the past two days, except on horseback, she was bound hand and foot when resting.

Fortunately, after entering the customs, perhaps because of the official face, they finally did not tie her up again.However, except in the station room, whenever she goes out, there will be several guards accompanying her. Mu Lan knows that this is surveillance in disguise, which also means that she has completely lost her freedom.

Xiao Yi was left at the pass station.Dong Lingjue used his serious injury as an excuse, saying that since he had entered Western Chu, his mission had been completed by sending him off to marry the general, and he could return to Xialiang Kingdom to return to his command after his injury healed.

Mu Lan was relieved, when Xiao Yi returned to the country and married Qingping, he would have his own life, and there would probably be no intersection between her and him again.

However, before leaving, she still couldn't help persuading him that being too honest is always easy to suffer. For example, Dong Ling told him to kill a hundred heads to pay off his merits. He could take advantage of the scuffle and chop off some ready-made dead heads To top it off, there is no evidence to prove that he cheated anyway.

Of course, Dong Lingjue also heard these words, and she didn't have the opportunity to speak in private.As for how he felt after hearing it, it was beyond her consideration.

After a month of running around, he finally entered the capital of the Western Chu Kingdom.
