Qingqiu is difficult

Yu Jingmo had had enough of this woman's sweet talk. As he packed his things, he sighed to himself:

"Back then, I, Yu Jingmo, always thought that I was the best liar in the world, but today I realized that compared to women, I'm still far behind!"

Lu Xinyi cleaned up his small temple a little, swept away the dead grass and dust on the altar, and bowed several times to the snake statue. When he turned around, he saw Jing Mo looking at him like he was a fool. Looking at him.

"Why are you worshiping that clay figurine? I am right here. If you have any questions, just kowtow to me!"

Lu Xinyi passed in front of him and said:

"Some gratitude or kindness cannot be expressed in person, so I can only put something up to act as that person. These are complex human emotions, and you, a little snake, won't understand."

Yu Jingmo smiled and shook his head.

The night was hazy and the moonlight entered the house. Looking at the sleeping people beside him, Yu Jingmo suddenly looked a little dazed...

At this moment, he really wanted to blaspheme this god, throw away the so-called shackles of the spiritual platform, return to the six worldly defilements, and be a mortal for once!

next morning

The two of them bypassed Jingcheng and came to the exit of the back mountain. Along the way, they saw that the army of the Moon Kingdom had already set up camp in the city. Uncharacteristically, Nasen did not live in the Jinggong. Instead, he used the restaurant as the head camp and lived there every day. In the restaurant.

Yu Jingmo scolded: "This kid is really good at enjoying things."

Lu Xinyi didn't have much idea. The two walked for a whole day and arrived at the back mountain pass in the evening.

As the sun set, the golden afterglow dyed the jungle, and a voice called out from the jungle.

"Is this the princess?"

Hearing the pure Jingguo accent, Xin Yi quickly raised the ring around his waist: "I am Xin Yi."

I saw several soldiers emerging from the grass and forest, stepping forward and saying:

"Princess, we have been waiting for you for a long time! The general and the emperor have already moved to the northern suburbs. Let's go and join them quickly!"

Xin Yi said happily: "General, he is back? Is he still in good health?"

Jingmo stepped forward and said: "There are Yue Kingdom soldiers guarding outside the city. Let's leave here quickly. The rest will be discussed when we get to the garrison!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and under the escort of this group of soldiers, they quickly arrived at the northern outskirts of the city.

From a distance, he saw Emperor Jing surrounded by soldiers, Liu Zhang serving food to Emperor Jing, and when he raised his head, he saw Xinyi coming from afar.

Emperor Jing stood up, Liu Zhang put down his food, and with Emperor Jing's consent, he quickly stepped forward to welcome Xin Yi back.

Liu Zhang took Xin Yi's hands and said:

"Niao Niao, are you cold? Are you hungry? I have prepared clothes and food for you. Come with me."

After saying that, he took Xin Yi to the tent. Yu Jingmo shook his head and came to Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing warmly invited him to eat together. Jingmo stood aside with his head bowed:

"Your Majesty, my minister...Yi Wang's Jingmo."

Emperor Jing nodded: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the swinging board knows the loyal ministers. King Yi's family has been civil servants for generations, but unexpectedly there is still a brave hero like you, escorting the princess here in times of crisis. It is really not easy."

Jingmo nodded. He was really not very good at dealing with such a scene. Just as he was feeling embarrassed, Lu Xinyi came out from the tent with two bowls of noodles and handed him one.

"Father, Brother Wang and I are still hungry. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it after we are full."

After saying that, he sat down next to Emperor Jing. Emperor Jing was not surprised and asked Jingmo to sit next to him. Liu Zhang also sat down with a bowl. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the family sat together and ate. Meals.

Emperor Jing watched several people eating happily, but he couldn't take a bite. Liu Zhang was the first to see Emperor Jing's sorrow. He silently put down his bowl and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the deceased has passed away. Please cheer up your Majesty first, so that your ministers can feel at ease." Xin Yi saw that there were tears in Emperor Jing's eyes, so he also put down his bowl and chopsticks:

"Father, there is no end to the road, so you should eat well first! Look, aren't we all by your side?"

After listening to the advice, Emperor Jing forced a smile and picked up the bowls and chopsticks, but after stirring them several times, he still couldn't put them in his mouth. He looked at Jing Palace where the fire had not yet extinguished and murmured:

"I don't know if Rui'er is now..."

Halfway through, Emperor Jing suddenly choked with sobs. He stopped talking, put down his bowls and chopsticks, turned away from the dining table, and returned to the military tent alone.

How strong a heart do you have to endure the pain of destroying your country and losing your son in one day?

The remaining people looked at each other in confusion. Xin Yi took Emperor Jing's bowls and chopsticks, signaled to the two of them, and then returned to the military tent to comfort Emperor Jing.

Jingmo and Liuzhang only took a few rough bites. Liuzhang had spent many years in the military and devoured a few mouthfuls. He had more important things to do. Jingmo saw that Liuzhang had finished eating quickly, and he was not embarrassed to eat. Before he was done, he left the table.

The two of them had inspected the army together. There were only a few hundred people. Facing the powerful army of the Moon Kingdom, if they rushed down the mountain at this time, it would be like throwing an egg against a stone.

Jingmo looked at Liu Zhang: "General, what are your plans for the future?"

Liu Zhang clenched the sword in his hand: "Jingguo is weak, and trying to regain the king's power is nothing more than a dream. However, it is not easy for Yueguo to unify the scattered Jingguo in a short period of time."

Jing Mo nodded: "Indeed, for the Jing Kingdom royal family, it is the best policy to live incognito and wander the world at this time, and it is the middle policy to surrender and become the idle royal family of the Yue Kingdom."

Liu Zhang raised his eyebrows and looked at Jing Mo: "But if it were you, what would you choose?"

"I will conserve my strength and live in seclusion in the mountains to pursue my ambitions."

Liu Zhang crossed his arms and said with a smile: "You are a pure Jingguo native. Your Majesty and Niao Niao should have long been tired of the extravagant and boring palace life, and they have the same thoughts as you."

While the two were talking, they heard a young boy reporting:

"General, King Yi is here."

Liu Zhang lowered his arms and immediately followed the young general to the tent. King Yi had escaped from death, covered in blood and holding a long knife in his hand. Emperor Jing, supported by Xin Yi, came out of the tent to greet him. It was cold outside the tent, and several people returned to the tent. , King Yi knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty! My brother's rescue is too late!"

Emperor Jing raised his hand and said, "What are you talking about, King Yi? Thanks to your young master, I don't know what to reward you this time."

Liu Zhang hurriedly knelt on the ground: "This is my duty, why should I be rewarded? I am guilty and failed to save the building from collapse..."

Emperor Jing waved his hand, but heard King Yi say:

"Your Majesty, the current situation is not the end of the road. I have a plan that may be used to delay the attack."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room cheered up. Although Emperor Jing didn't believe there was any strategy to turn the situation around, he still sat upright:

"King Yi, please get up quickly. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."

King Yi stood up slowly with his robe in hand, looked around, and then calmly said:

"I heard that Nasen has an old friendship with the princess and was once interested in His Highness. Now the consort has disappeared. I have an idea. Why not ask the princess to make peace with Nasen to buy time and buy us a certain amount of time."

"No!" Jingmo and Liuzhang said almost at the same time.
