Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 195 It's hard to tell if it's true or false, my Jedi counterattack
Why, are you still alive?

He smiled faintly: "Of course I'm still alive."

"But, I clearly saw that you were pierced by an arrow—"

Even if others can't see it clearly from a distance, I know too well that the arrow really hit his heart, and the fact that the blood was gushing was right in front of my eyes, it couldn't be fake!
He laughed and said: "You only know that an arrow can pierce the heart, but you don't know how long Shaoyang has practiced for this arrow to pierce the heart."

What?Ling Shaoyang?
When I heard the name suddenly, I froze there.

Suddenly, I seemed to realize something, but everything came to me suddenly, and I didn't have time to react, so I just looked at him blankly: "What do you mean?"

"Shaoyang learned from an ancient book in Guigu that although a person's heart is very fragile and can die at the sight of iron, there is a place in the heart that opens and closes with the person's breathing. When it is closed, the arrow will naturally not Life; but if it is opened, the arrow will pass through the heart, it can temporarily block the heart veins, resulting in the appearance of suspended animation."

I was dumbfounded when I heard it - it turned out that they had planned all this long ago. Ling Shaoyang had long wanted to use this method to "kill" him.

However, I seem to have heard it from his words—Ghost Valley? !

The ancient books he saw from Ghost Valley? !
This incident happened more than a year ago, and he actually saw such a miraculous thing from the ancient books of Guigu. Could it be that - after the debate nine years ago, he had been to Guigu?

Just thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that before Prince Qinglong was shot, he had indeed said that Chu Feng had transferred him back to Zhaoye...

Seeing my face change several times in an instant, Young Master Ling thought for a while and said, "For these years, every year in late autumn, he would leave Zhaoye and go to Ghost Valley."

"He, what are you going to do?"

"See things and think about people."

"Seeing things and thinking about people...?"

Ling Shao looked at me, and a faint light flashed in his eyes: "He went to plant an osmanthus tree for one person, thinking of the time that girl was by his side, although that time was very short, but for him But it's beautiful enough."

My slender fingertips trembled desperately.

I suddenly remembered that when I was in Guigu, Yu He once said that the sweet-scented osmanthus in Guigu was born for me. Could it be that he planted all these?
But, Ling Shaoyang, hasn't he always hated me?

Shaoyu told me that he hated me all these years, but why did he go to Ghost Valley and plant those sweet-scented osmanthus trees? ,then what……?
A hot thing rushed up, blurring my eyes, I endured the pain in my heart, swallowed bitter tears, and looked up at the man in front of me.

"But why are you doing all this?"

Ling Shao looked at me silently for a while, didn't speak, just turned his head slightly, and lifted the long hair hanging by his ears——

I suddenly opened my eyes.

Behind his ear - no birthmark!
However, the child I gave birth to clearly has the birthmark belonging to the Murong family. Isn't he Chu Feng's son? Why doesn't he have one?

"How is this going?"

He put down the hair in his hand, turned his head to look at me, and said calmly: "I know that you will know this secret after giving birth to a child in Guigu. Yes, as long as you are a man from the Ling family, you will have this kind of hair behind your ears." Birthmarks are found on my father's body, on Ling Shaoyang's body, and even on my uncle's body."

"Then why didn't you?"

He smiled slightly, but there was a little pain in his pupils: "What do you think?"

My mind was blown--

So - so he is not Chu Feng's son!

For a moment, my mind seemed to be overwhelmed by a stormy sea, and I couldn't feel anything. I sat there numbly, looking at his pale face.

He said calmly: "I am actually his adopted son. I only found out about this after I left Zhaoye. Back then, he was rejected by his father and sent to the northwest border, where he adopted me. Later He took me back to Zhaoye and raised me as his own child."

In fact, it is so...

"So, the position of Prince Qinglong should have belonged to Shaoyang, but the government was in turmoil back then, and Shaoyang was still young. He had no choice but to make me a prince. He originally planned to find a time to depose me. And I Because of my personality, I couldn’t gain a foothold in the royal family, and I always wanted to escape from that place. Shaoyang also knew my wish, and at that time, something happened to my heart, and I wanted to die, so everything went smoothly.”

My mind was in a mess, but at this time I probably understood a little bit, and looked up at him again: "Then, what is satisfactory——"

"Nine years ago, when I left Ghost Valley, I was slightly injured. I happened to pass by Fengxiang. The injury broke out and I was rescued by her. At that time, I had her in my heart."

I saw a faint smile on his face, and I was in a daze for a while. After thinking for a while, I subconsciously said: "You mean Liang Chengxin?"

"Yes."

"Then, that Xinxin is——didn't you say that he died?"

At this time, Young Master Ling also gritted his teeth and said, "My emperor uncle knew about this matter. He sent someone here to look for Cheng Xin, but he happened to meet Cheng Xin's younger brother, so he took him to the Prince's Mansion to see him off. For me, back then I only met Cheng Xin once, so I thought—that she was really a man."

I suddenly realized.

No wonder at the beginning, he said that Chu Feng forced Yixin to death. Such a scandal of breaking his sleeves and dividing his peaches would never happen in the royal family. Originally, Chu Feng had been looking for opportunities to depose the prince. Giving him Xinxin instead of Chengxin is to use this matter to intensify the conflict between the prince and the emperor, and achieve his goal of disrupting the court, but he did not expect that it also gave Chu Feng and Shaoyang the best chance.

"After I was shot by Shaoyang, I found a corpse and sent it to the mortuary, and he secretly arranged for someone to send me here, and sent the Royal Eighteen Shadow Guards to me. It was at that time that I found out own life experience."

Looking at his somewhat pale face, I can vaguely feel that such an earth-shaking change, and suddenly learning about his life experience, is even more unacceptable, and I don't know how he survived.

"Later, I met Chengxin here again." Having said that, a faint smile appeared on his face again: "So, I decided to stay away from Qinglong and stop asking about their affairs."

I never imagined that at the beginning, just that one arrow had hidden so many stories.

And he struggled from life to death, but he didn't expect that everything was just a farce, and because of the old chest disease, he could meet the love in his heart by chance. This kind of luck is really not for everyone.

Like Ling Shaoyang...

Just like when I watched him kill the crown prince with one arrow in front of the Azure Dragon Hall back then, I already regarded him as a ruthless person with a lot of hostility. This is also until later, no matter how many opportunities we had to get close, we missed it after all. reason.

It just didn't occur to me that I was wrong.

He was not the one he thought at all.

All his badness, all his evil, turned out to be burdened by others. I don't even know how much he still bears. I can't see clearly until now.

I lowered my head and looked at the glass of sake in front of me. Suddenly, a drop of something fell down, splashing a crystal water splash, with layers of ripples, distorting my shadow.

The man on the opposite side looked at me silently. After a long time, he slowly said: "You and him—"

I choked up and didn't speak.

He looked at me, was silent for a long time, and said: "Actually, I have always been very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I would have made a big mistake. I wouldn't be here today. Even this Ruyiju, I named it for you." Yes. But, I know we shouldn't meet again, after all, the past is the past for many things."

I glanced at him and knew what he was referring to. After all, he was the one who had a marriage contract with me at the beginning, and this past cannot be erased, and he wanted to start over with Liang Chengxin and make a decision with me, which is naturally the best way.

That's why he asked Liang Chengxin to bring those words, but he didn't expect that he would misunderstand me and think it was Ling Shaoyang.

"The reason why I saw you today and said this to you is that I feel that maybe if you don't say something, you will misunderstand more things and praise him less—it's been hard these years, you should treat him better. "

This is the second person who has said this to me, but when I listened, I felt empty in my heart.

"I know it's hard for you right now, if there's anything I can do to help you—"

Before he finished speaking, I raised my head and looked at him: "You just said that you were slightly injured when you left Ghost Valley?"

He froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Why do you get hurt?"

"Assassin." He thought for a while, then slowly said: "Back then in Ghost Valley, when the debate was going on for No. 15 days, a group of assassins suddenly broke into Ghost Valley."

My heart secretly moved—the danger of Guigu, even though Mr. Guigu has withdrawn most of the people and defenses this time, he can still see the clues from his organization, not to mention the princes and daughters of the Central Plains countries. Gathering in Ghost Valley, his defense should be stricter. How could he let killer assassins enter Ghost Valley?
"Do you know who sent those assassins?"

He shook his head.

I hurriedly asked again: "Then, what about Ling Shaoyang? Wasn't he also seriously injured by the assassin?"

Ling Shao seemed to be silent for a while again, and when he raised his head to look at me again, his expression was a bit complicated: "That day, he was not with us, but went to the appointment. When the assassin assassinated, Shaoyu was still there. Xiao, I was injured to protect him, but Shaoyang did not come back until two days later, at that time he was seriously injured and almost died."

I hurriedly said, "Whose appointment is he going to?"

"you."

It was as if a thunder suddenly exploded above my head, and I froze there. Ling Shao seemed to be a little puzzled, and looked at me: "You—why don't you remember? Back then, you asked him out, so he left We, no one protected us, and we didn't come back for two whole days. We also always wanted to know who caused the injuries on his body."

Ling Shaoyang was seriously injured because he went to my appointment? !
I was completely unresponsive for a moment.

I never thought that even if He Liancheng told me that something happened to us that day, even if Li Jun told me that he left Guigu with injuries on his body, I never thought that it would be like this.

So who caused his injury?An assassin, or—me?

Sitting there, I just felt chills all over my body.

Why, the answer I want to find, one is more cruel than the other, and one is more obvious than the other, the sins I committed, the blood debt I owe, and the love I will never be able to repay, why is it like this?

My hand was placed on the table, trembling badly, as if my whole body was about to freeze. At this moment, a big warm hand reached out and gently held my hand.

Slowly raising his head, he met those calm eyes.

"We don't know what happened in the past. Shaoyang stubbornly refused to tell, so we took everything as a dream and forgot about it."

"..."

"If you don't remember, maybe it's not a bad thing. After all, these things are in the past, and you shouldn't let them pester you anymore."

"..."

"Xingsi, I tell you this not to make you sad, but to hope that you will cherish everything in front of you."

……

After saying these words, he left.

I sat quietly in that garden alone, the cold wind blew, the fallen leaves fluttered, and there were withered and yellow marks in front of my eyes. Looking at such a bleak scenery, I also felt bleak in my heart.

Cherish everything in front of you...

He said this to me because he has found something worth cherishing, but what about me?
Who should I cherish?Who am I worth caring for?

Up to today, the two of them are strangers, and their hearts have long been covered with bruises. I told Chu Feng that I have no ability to meet anyone again, and what I meet now is what I owed many years ago. debt.

I sat there silently, raised my wine glass, and in the cold light of the glass, I saw a figure walking slowly from outside the door.

This figure is very familiar, tall and strong, with a sound of white robe flying up with the wind, with a touch of coldness.

I blinked vaguely, and watched him walk in front of me. There was a faint smile on that handsome face. Even after going through such ups and downs, his pupils were still as calm as water, with an indescribable expression. calm and introverted.

I slowly raised my head: "Mr. Yu He...?"

He sat across from me: "The Queen Mother."

Although he didn't know how he found this place, but after thinking about it, since everything here was arranged by Ling Shaoyang, after they rescued Ling Shaoyang from Shangyang City, they might not have contacts with people here.

It's just—"Mr. Yu He is all right? I haven't heard from Mr. these days, and Xing Si is also very worried."

He laughed and said: "I was born in Ghost Valley, all the organ arrays were set up by my grandpa, so naturally there will be no damage. I haven't followed the Queen Mother these days because there are still some matters in the valley that need to be dealt with."

"what's up?"

"Xi Yuying's people are still trapped in the valley. I think it will be beneficial and harmless for the queen mother to let them stay for a while."

I raised my eyebrows slightly and looked at him.

This person is really calm, since in such a situation, he can still take care of trapping Xi Yuying, indeed, it is indeed more beneficial for me to control the person who controls Xi Yuying now.

"Thank you Mr. Yu He."

"You don't need to thank the Queen Mother." He smiled slightly: "I'm here to apologize to the Queen Mother. Because of this incident, I failed to follow the Queen Mother deep into the dungeon. Shui Xunyou took it, and the current situation is too unfavorable for the Queen Mother."

As soon as I heard about my child, all the weakness in my heart disappeared in an instant.

Indeed, now is not the time to cry and complain about the past, my child is still in their hands, I should be strong immediately!
So, I looked up at Yu He: "Since Mr. came here, he must have brought some news. Did Nangong Mizhen and Shui Xunyou bring the child back to the White Tiger Country?"

"Do not."

Yu He shook his head lightly.

I was taken aback for a moment, I thought they would definitely bring the child back to the White Tiger Kingdom, and then lead me there, as long as they controlled me, at least half of Yongjia Yuxi, or Qinglong Kingdom's government, would be swayed by Nangong Yu.

"Not in the White Tiger Country, where did they go?"

Yu He looked at me, his eyes flickering: "The news I brought is that Nangong Mizhen and Shui Xunyou led the Xuantie Army all the way eastward, and now they have approached Fengxiang City."

My heart skipped a beat.

Fengxiang, the barrier of Xuanyuan Kingdom in the west, when Li Jun was there at the beginning, it was almost in the way of Baihu Kingdom. Fortunately, I arrived in time to let Ling Si and the others get out of the siege. Now they took my child to Fengxiang, could it be explain--

Yu He looked at me, his eyes flickering: "Presumably the Queen Mother also knows what their purpose is."

I gritted my silver teeth.

In the final analysis, their goal is Xuanyuan Kingdom. They brought my child there, no doubt they want to control me through the child. I am very clear about the distribution of troops in Fengxiang and all the combat preparations. They want to capture Fengxiang , Naturally, it's as easy as turning the palm of your hand, and after defeating Fengxiang, Meng Jing will undoubtedly be cold-hearted, and he will no longer be strong against the enemy!

Nangong...

I called his name fiercely in my heart, Nangong Yazhen, you are too good, from the beginning of acting to today, going west to use troops, eloping and fleeing, and even seizing a son in Guigu, every step has been so perfect, I can't even tell when it's true and when it's false.

Is it because you are too involved in acting, or every step is designed too perfectly.

Perfect, almost flawless!
Yu He looked into my icy eyes, and seemed to sense something, and said, "The matter has come to this, does the Empress Dowager have a strategy to defend against the enemy?"

I slowly raised my head to look at him: "Mr. Yu He, I also hope that Mr. can answer me a question."

"Excuse me, Queen Mother."

"Xuanyuan Sword, why is it in the master's hands?"

He was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to expect that I would ask this question, but it was unexpected, and within reason, he immediately reacted and looked around: "Xuanyuan Sword..."

"It was taken away by the ghost face."

He nodded, looked at me, his gaze was slightly heavy, and then said: "Since the Queen Mother asked, I will tell the truth. Xuanyuan Sword is the sword of Emperor Wu, and he gave it to me personally."

My heart trembled violently—my father, handed the Xuanyuan Sword into his hands? !
"The other person—"

Yu He looked at me silently: "The horse leather shrouds the body, blood stains the yellow sand. Such an ending, although a bit tragic, but for a hero like Emperor Wu, it is nothing better. I hope the Queen Mother will not be too sad."

……

A corpse wrapped in horse leather, blood stained the yellow sand.

A burst of hot tears welled up, blurring my vision, but I bit my lower lip tightly to keep the tears from flowing out.

At this time, I can be sad, I can be in pain, but I can never cry!
"You said, he died in battle?"

"Yes." Yu He nodded silently, and said in a deep voice: "In the Battle of Jiannan Pass, Emperor Wu's army went deep alone. He could have directly attacked Huanglong, but for some reason the route of the march was leaked, and he was attacked by the enemy from both sides, cutting off the retreat. Emperor Wu The army was besieged in the South Canyon for a full ten days, they ran out of ammunition and food, and in the end——by the time Xia arrived, it was too late."

The route of the march was leaked? !
Could it be that there are spies by the emperor's side? !
How could it be possible, the lieutenants and commanders beside the father were all confidantes for many years, they were good brothers who followed him through life and death, how could a spies betray him? !

I was a little confused for a while.

Sitting there blankly for an unknown amount of time, a flash of light appeared in front of his eyes, and he took a closer look, but it was Yu He who poured out the cold residual wine, poured another glass of warm wine and handed it over: "Drink a little, it will feel better."

I took the wine glass and looked at the sparkling waves inside, as if I could faintly see that familiar figure.

Every year, he only comes back to be with me one day, his resolute and cold face always has a faint expression, now I know why, but even today, I still can't hate him, he is my father, I was looking forward to it, looking forward to him coming to accompany me, even if it was just a quiet father.

But he—dead.

Wrapped in horse leather, blood-stained yellow sand, this is his fate, his destination?

I raised my head and drank the wine in the glass. The hot pear blossoms burned from my throat to my heart, and I was about to choke my tears. I coughed desperately, and my eyes were red.

A hand stretched out and patted my back lightly. I raised my head and looked at Yu He. He said calmly, "Queen Mother, are you feeling better?"

"Mr. Yu He, please answer one more question for me."

"Please say."

"Who is the person who killed my father?"

"..."

He was silent for a long time, met my firm eyes, and finally said slowly: "Shui family, Xuan Tiejun."

When he said the word "Shuijia", the corners of my mouth twitched slightly.

A smile colder than the cold wind floated on my face.

Yu He also seemed to be taken aback for a moment, looking at my sudden cold expression, he didn't seem to understand for a while, but he is Yu He after all, the successor of Mr. People, also immediately calmed down.

"My queen, has it been decided?"

I looked at him: "I have to trouble Mr. Yu He to give me a message."

"I'm willing to help, but I don't know, who is the Empress Dowager going to take this message to?"

"Fengxiang City, Li Jun."

Yu He's eyes flickered: "Queen Mother, do you want Li Jun to fight against the enemy?"

"No," I breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the top of my head, Kazuki's green plums were blowing in the wind, exuding a cold fragrance, just like this winter, it came so fast, so urgently——

"I want him to sacrifice the city and surrender!"
