Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 180 The Death of the White Tiger Ling Shaoyang Westbound
I didn't answer him immediately, but said "go" to the handlebar in front, and the carriage continued to drive forward.

The monotonous and empty Duo Duo Sheng came to mind again in the carriage, but this time the atmosphere was a little different. I looked up at Shao Yu and said calmly, "Don't worry, these are all my people."

"what?"

"Originally, I wanted to use them at the wedding banquet. I didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen. They wanted to ask me if I should continue the operation tonight."

"What action?"

"assassinate."

When he said these two words, Shaoyu was completely dumbfounded. Those black and white tiger eyes stared blankly at me, and I smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that these people belong to me. Naturally, I have Proper, and only follow my orders to do it, and it's just as fast as I can."

Shaoyu blinked, as if remembering something, raised his head suddenly: "Wine glass?!"

I smiled and nodded, the child reacted rather quickly, and it seemed that he was slowly beginning to integrate into his identity and the new environment.

That's right, I did send someone to the wedding banquet tonight, and the order was the wine glass that fell in my hand, but the wine glass in Guan Guan's hand fell before the wedding banquet was opened, and she was so close to me, I was very worried about those people People would think that it was my order to act in advance, so they went to the garden to inspect it. Fortunately, these people were well-trained, they distinguished the environment and the situation, and did not act rashly.

The second time, Nangong and Shui Xunyou came to toast.

What they sent was a white marble round cup. I knew that this kind of wine glass was not easy to break, so I deliberately changed a wine glass after drinking it, and then drank it with Shui Xunyou. I originally wanted to do it while sitting down, but I didn't expect—— —

Nangong hugged me.

Originally, this plan was very risky, and Nangong Yu couldn't see the flaws, otherwise my subsequent arrangements would be all in vain, so after the wine glass was taken away by Nangong, I was also slightly anxious, I was afraid that tonight's action would be in vain. .

Unexpectedly, Guan Guan said those words again.

In the broad daylight of this incident, it was true that several knives were drawn heavily in my heart. The blood was dripping, and the pain made me tremble all over. Sex, all will disappear in front of everyone.

Of course, it undoubtedly made the Empress Dowager Yongjia ashamed to face the world.

But at this time, it's just right!
At this time, Shao Yu also asked me: "Xing Si, what is your purpose tonight?"

I looked at him and said slowly: "It will take a while for Nangong Yu to find me and control my whereabouts so that I can do something, but if I leave clearly, I will definitely be watched by him. The best way is to just let me close the door in the deep palace without seeing outsiders."

He suddenly realized: "You let the assassin do the assassination because you want to have an 'accident' in front of him, so that you can stay in Zichen Palace, and he doesn't have to monitor you."

"Ah."

But now, Guan Guan said those words, of course I have no face to face others, hiding in the Zichen Palace for a few months, hiding until the child is born, is perfectly normal, Nangong Yu will definitely not doubt it.

Shaoyu looked at me and frowned slightly: "But, where are you going?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped, and a guard's voice came from outside: "The Queen Mother."

"Ah."

I agreed, and Shaoyu seemed to sense something, and hurriedly opened the curtain, only to find that the carriage did not return directly to the imperial city, but heard a side gate of the west gate, and not far in front of the gate, a car The carriage is waiting there.

He looked at me with wide eyes: "You—"

"I'm going to the White Tiger Country."

"What?!" He couldn't believe his ears, and immediately said loudly, "No!"

"Young Feather..."

"Are you crazy? A woman travels thousands of miles to the White Tiger Country. If something happens to you, what will you do? Also, the child in your belly is already more than five months old. Even if it's not the father's, even if it's not your father's." The second brother did something wrong, but the child is innocent!"

Seeing that he was so anxious that the veins on his forehead popped out, and he had never been so stern to me, I smiled lightly in my heart. This child's straightforwardness is still the same as before, and he is the only one who can make me feel a little loved. It's warm.

"Shaoyu, listen to me."

I looked at him calmly: "Part of the reason for my survival is because of this child, so I won't make fun of his life; the other part of the reason is because Chu Feng wants me to survive, and he wants me to live with him." You guard his country together, so it is imperative to go to Baihu Kingdom this time. During this period of time, I was in Zichen Palace, not because I was sad. I have been letting the imperial doctor to stabilize my pregnancy, and I also know , the alliance between the White Tiger Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom is in Qishan, I have already arranged everything, so don't stop me."

My tone of voice is gentle and calm, but anyone can feel my firmness in every word.

Shaoyu looked at me, with a helpless and even aggrieved expression on his immature face, and his mouth slightly pouted: "You—why are you—and, besides, can't you send someone else to go? The people from Yulongtang Can't be reused?"

I shook my head: "I must go to Qishan this time."

"why?"

"First of all, I doubt that Xi Yuying is leading this battle. As soon as something happened to Nangong and I, Baihu Kingdom dispatched troops. It was obviously her order. If so, I would like to know Xi Yumen's role in this war. Attitude; secondly, if Xi Yumen is also the main battle, then such a pair of brothers and sisters who form an alliance with Helian City, their appetite is not only Xuanyuan Kingdom, but also to fight down - Suzaku has the danger of the mountains and rivers in the southern border, they can't act rashly, Then the target can only be Qinglong. If this is the case, we will face big trouble."

"so what?"

"Treatment of the symptoms is to unite vertically and horizontally, find a way to ally with Mu Liusha to open the eastern front, and resist their attacks; cure the root cause, it is to destroy the alliance between Baihu and Xuanwu. Putting aside the southern border, the Central Plains can become a three-legged confrontation. This is the bottom line. plan."

Shaoyu widened her eyes in astonishment, froze for a while, and then looked at me with admiration: "Xingsi, you——!"

"Of course, other ministers in the court can also do these things. Wei Yusheng is eloquent. The former emperor promoted him, not without consideration of this aspect. But there is another point, that is, I want to know, in this alliance Among them, what is the identity of the Nangong family?"

Shaoyu frowned and looked at me: "They just got married with the Shui family."

"That's right. The Shui family's roots in the White Tiger Kingdom are very deep. The marriage between the two of them will definitely increase their momentum. And in this alliance battle, they used Nangong to hold me back, obviously intending to get a piece of the pie."

The problem is that the Nangong family is the descendant of the royal family, and the original Murong family was the overlord of the entire Central Plains. Nangong Yu has spent so much thought on arranging for Qinglong Kingdom, it is impossible to just want to get the land in the East. If his goal is to regain To unify the Central Plains, does the White Tiger Kingdom know their identities and their ambitions?

Perhaps this is also an important link.

But when the news that they are descendants of the royal family spread, it is still unknown how the ministers and unions of the world will react, so this matter should not be publicized, which is why I must go there in person.

Listening to my analysis of all this, Shaoyu also understood that it was irreversible, but he was still a little unconvinced, pouted slightly: "But, let a pregnant woman like you go out, I—I—"

"Shaoyu," I stretched out my hand, patted the back of his hand lightly, looked at him solemnly and said, "A country cannot live without a king, you are the only blood of Chu Feng, when your second brother was trapped in Shenhebei Even if you are not allowed to send troops, you should also understand the pros and cons. What's more, if I leave, you have to face Nangong Yu alone. You can't make him suspicious, and you can't make any changes in the government. Once you activate your whole body, the Central Plains War is about to break out, you must hold him steady!"

He looked at me, bit his lower lip, and nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, I also breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to get out of the carriage, and walked directly to the carriage I had arranged. Shaoyu followed behind me, and Ke'er and Yusui'er also jumped out of the carriage behind and followed us: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager..."

Shaoyu thought for a while and said, "Take Ke'er with you, she can take care of you."

I looked back, Ke'er's pretty face was slightly pale, I didn't say anything, just looked at him, and smiled: "Will Nangong Yu still not notice when Ke'er is gone?"

"..."

I waved my hand and let the two of them go down first, and when the people around me were far away, I whispered to Shaoyu: "But she's a girl, and she's been in the barracks since she was a child, fighting with a group of big men like you." , after all these hardships, doesn’t the emperor understand?”

He glanced at me, his lips quivering.

"I have spent half my life with heart and affection, but it was not successful, so I don't want to arrange anything for the emperor. I just hope that the emperor will look at it with his heart, and don't live up to his sincerity and waste the past years."

I talked with him all the way, and we had already reached the carriage. Shaoyu didn't answer, but opened the curtain and looked into the carriage. The cushions are soft, and it feels like you are in the clouds when you sit on it. There is a fireplace and wine storage in the corner, so you are not afraid of the long journey.

He thought for a while, turned around again, and made a gesture towards the dark night, and I felt that there seemed to be some people coming and going in the night.

"emperor……?"

"This is the Eighteen Shadow Guards of Qinglong," Shaoyu turned to look at me, "All of them are highly skilled in martial arts. If you can beat a hundred, let them follow you, and I will feel more at ease."

I looked at him, knowing that it was useless to refuse, besides such a long journey, we really need some reliable people, so I agreed.

Shaoyu took out another dagger from his bosom and handed it to me. I took a look, it was an exquisite dagger, the scabbard was engraved with flying tigers and clouds, lifelike, drawing the sword out of the sheath, even Under the dark night, a cold light flashed in front of my eyes, as clear as water and dazzling.

"This is our family's self-defense dagger, you should also take it with you."

I held the sword in both hands and looked at him with a smile: "Thank you, Shaoyu."

His face was still very ugly, but he still supported me and walked slowly, and was about to get into the carriage, when I suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at him and said, "There is one more thing, I just remind you Don't send troops to the Xuanwu Kingdom in the east, and don't think about avenging your second brother, we can discuss these things in a long-term way."

Shaoyu looked at me, then at my stomach, and nodded silently.

I heard him muttering something: "Second brother, they couldn't have killed him."

I was startled and looked at him with wide eyes: "What did you say?"

Shaoyu glanced at me, was silent for a while, then took the short sword in my hand, held the sword grid with one hand, and clenched the second half of the hilt with the other, exerted a little force, only listening to "Cang" With a sound, a dazzling cold light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

I opened my eyes wide.

He actually pulled out another dagger from the hilt of the dagger!
This short blade is no more than one palm long, shaped like a willow leaf and as thin as a cicada's wing, shining coldly in the dim light around it.

"This is--"

"This is what my brothers and I will have, for self-defense."

I squinted my eyes, I don't know if it was an illusion, I always seemed to see a faint green light in the dazzling cold light, so I looked up at Shaoyu: "This dagger—has been poisoned?"

He nodded silently.

"Father has taught us since we were young that soldiers can be killed and cannot be humiliated, especially those in the royal family. If they are really defeated and captured, they must not live and be humiliated. We must use this sword to thank the world. The poison that has been tempered on it , Seeing the blood seal the throat, there will be no chance."

I just felt a suffocating pain welling up from the bottom of my heart, and after a long silence, I said, "Your second brother, did you commit suicide?"

He nodded: "If he really can't escape from birth, he will never let anyone capture him alive. If the people of Xuanwu Kingdom are smart enough, they will keep him to threaten the father, but there is some news these days No, apparently—he killed himself."

I didn't expect Ling Shaoyang to end like this.

Back then in Shangyang City, I deliberately let myself forget about that bloody fight, but what Shaoyu said today seemed to bring me back to that night, his resolute back, his stern roar...

He committed suicide.

I took back the short sword and held it tightly against my chest, with wetness flashing across my eyes.

Although I once said that I would never forgive him in my life, all the things he has done have already washed away his debts, and the entanglement between me and him eight years ago may be able to be revealed in broad daylight this time.

When I got into the carriage and drove slowly towards the west gate, I looked down at the sword and thought silently.

I didn't tell Shao Yu that there was one more thing to do on this trip to the west.

Ghost Valley, in Qishan.

Maybe there is a chance, maybe, I can see Mr. Guigu again.

What happened in Ghost Valley eight years ago, is it worth me to know?Does the entanglement between me and these princes and daughters, Ling Shaoyang, me and what happened in Nangong affect the current situation in the Central Plains?
All of this, maybe you can only know when you go to Guigu and meet Mr. Guigu.

I leaned against the car window, silently looking at the dark night ahead, as if I could faintly see a little starlight from the boundless darkness, guiding my way forward.
