Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 215 Going South to the Suzaku · Guan Ci Lingnan
Yu He was silent, but his expression said everything.

Nangong Yu, they actually went to southern Xinjiang!

At this moment, the endless mountains, green bamboo forests, and birds flying among the bamboo forests appeared in front of my eyes. It may be the most peaceful and peaceful place in the world. .

In such a landscape, there is another person with an indifferent and arrogant face——Yayoi.

He has been guarding the southern border and thinking about it for so many years, and has been avoiding the family's responsibilities and missions. If the Nangong family has reached a critical moment of survival, what will he do?Stand up, or continue to hide?
Will his innocence and innocence be destroyed by the flames of power?

But these are not what I am most worried about. The one thing I am most worried about is Mu Liusha.

She has never had the desire to dominate, that's why she prefers to settle down in Nanyu, guarding the beautiful mountains and rivers of the southern border without competing with the world, but Yu He went south and failed to recover Nangong Yu. Although he was not resisted, at least it proved that one thing.

Mu Liusha did not refuse Nangong Yu's entry into Suzaku Kingdom!
She clearly knows Nangong Yu's identity, and also knows that I should be determined to win people from the Nangong family. Why does she still do this?
Is it intentional, to be my enemy, or is there another reason?
As soon as I thought of that possibility, I couldn't sit any longer. I immediately got up and walked out, and pushed open the door. The guards outside the door were all standing on both sides with nervous expressions. When they saw me open the door, they secretly relaxed. tone.

Not far away, a thin and tall figure stood with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for something, and when he heard the sound of the door opening, he slowly turned around and looked at me, under the sun, the mask was still cold.

I thought about it, and immediately said to the guards: "You all stand down."

"Yes."

They slowly withdrew from the surrounding area of ​​Yanfu Hall, and he walked towards me step by step, until he stood in front of me, as if he wanted to say something, but I had already said, "I'm going to Southern Xinjiang."

"what?"

He looked at me in surprise, then at Yu He who was following me, and immediately seemed to understand something, and said, "They, they went to Suzaku Kingdom?"

I nodded silently.

I still can't see the expression on the face under the mask, but I feel that his eyes have become a little complicated, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "You, have you decided to use troops against Southern Xinjiang? "

……

I didn't answer him, but my eyes have become serious.

Suzaku, southern border, with strange mountains and dangerous waters, easy to defend and difficult to attack, all the overlords of the Central Plains in the past dynasties did not want to place this land under their own command, and almost never succeeded. Everyone knows that to truly unify the Central Plains, the South Xinjiang is a problem that has to be faced.

However, if according to my plan, Nanjiang and Xuanwu, I will definitely go north to take Xuanwu first, and then fight in Nanjiang. The use of troops has been brought forward to the schedule.

Mu Liusha agreed to Nangong Yu, no matter what her intentions are, it will be an endless trouble for me.

The ghost face was also silent for a long time, and then spoke again, but said: "You can't go."

"what?"

I was slightly taken aback, only to see him say in a deep voice: "Nanjiang, it's too dangerous, you can't try it yourself!"

"Victory seeks victory from danger." I said: "You don't know the situation of Suzaku Kingdom. If you can't hit it with one blow, you will be dragged back. It will be difficult to catch Nangong Yu, besides— —”

Besides——I still want to see Mu Quicksand again.

The last time I went and thought about it, I feel that she should have a lot of things to say to me, at least some things she didn’t say, and some things are hidden in her heart, and my instinct tells me that those things They are all related to me, and have deep roots!

Thinking of this, I said lightly: "I must go!"

Seeing me insisting so hard, his eyes gradually darkened. I thought about it, and said: "Even if this battle is difficult to fight, I will not really just be a pawn with swords and swords. How could there be such a thing?" dangerous?"

The ghost face looked up at me slowly, and after a long silence, he said, "The danger I'm talking about doesn't just come from the battlefield."

I frowned slightly: "You mean—"

"assassin."

With a slight movement in my heart, my eyes slowly moved to the outside of the main hall. Li Yan was still going crazy with a few little maids, like a little monkey who couldn't rest, I said softly: "The Li family, there is only Let go of this child."

The ghost face glanced at me, and slowly said: "The Li family is not the only one who wants to kill you."

I was taken aback, and turned to look at him: "You mean—"

"The white tiger destroyed the country, the Xi clan destroyed the clan, someone will blame you for the ruin of this country; there are also some voices in Xuanyuan, saying that you will unify the Central Plains sooner or later, attack Xuanyuan with the green dragon and white tiger, and annex the old country; hehe Although Liancheng kept his promise and did not go south again, his subordinates were not so obedient. According to the news from the border town, a large number of experts from the Xuanwu Kingdom went south to enter the country; I can assassinate you to avoid future troubles."

He seldom spoke so long, and after he finished speaking, his voice became hoarse and he coughed twice. Then he looked at me with some difficulty and said, "Many people in the Central Plains want you to die!"

A gust of wind blew, and I suddenly felt a chill on my back.

I didn't realize at all what kind of position I had pushed myself into.

Unifying the Central Plains is indeed the path I must take now, but I didn't expect that there are so many obstacles on this path.

At this time, Yu He, who had been silent all this time, also said, "I also heard that Nangong Yu sprinkled money along the way this time going south. Almost all the assassination organizations in the world have received their red flowers."

Chihua, the price tag for a murder.

Dare to openly use the organization of Jianghu to assassinate the royal family, it seems that Nangong Yu is determined to kill me.

I fell silent.

The Yanfu Hall was very quiet, except for Li Yan's laughing voice faintly from a distance, which seemed a little abrupt in such an environment. After some time, I finally opened my mouth and said calmly: "Send the order, ten days After that, set off for the south.”

"Xingsi!"

It can be seen that he was in a hurry. He called my name for the first time in these days, and I returned him a faint smile.

I smiled very gently, and said very gently: "You know, no one can stop me from what I want to do."

"..."

He fell silent.

I continued: "Zhaoye has just gone through a war, I shouldn't have left at this time, but I have to go to southern Xinjiang, so this time I will go south, I will go on a tour in low service, and I can't let anyone know, all foreign envoys , all refused to be outside the attached city under the pretext of calling for the elimination of karma.”

I thought about it, and added another sentence: "Including Xuanyuan Kingdom."

He glanced at me and nodded silently.

He is very clear that I don't trust anyone easily, even Yu He, who is always by my side in the most critical moment, and Xuanyuan Kingdom, I haven't entered the country for several years, not everyone there is Li Jun, specifically I don't know how they look at me or treat me.When they confronted Nangong Yu, their army was pressing down on the country, but there was never a message, let alone a loud slogan. I guess Xuanyuan Kang made double preparations. Yu Shisheng, I guarantee that he will send troops without hesitation.

This is diplomatic relations, different from people, people have feelings between people, but between countries, only interests are the driving force.

"I will give orders. But," he looked at me, "if you really leave Zhaoye, the important event in court—"

I turned to look at him: "You stay and supervise the country for me."

"what?"

His eyes suddenly widened, as if he was about to get angry, but he held back: "You want me to stay in the prison?"

"Well. I don't worry about other people."

Not only is it worrying, these days, every time I make an imperial decree, I will look back. Although the figure standing behind me never speaks, there are many words between me and him that need not be said, so, My New Deal was actually formulated by him and me.

And only he can keep all this going while I'm not around.

"You've been behind me these days, and I hope this time too."

He was silent for a while, and said in a half-smile tone: "Since I am behind you, why do you want me to stay in Zhaoye when you go south?"

This tone, this kind of words, there is a familiar feeling, I think in a trance, it seems that in Nanyang City, when he led his troops north to pursue Helian City and Sanger, and asked me to stay there and wait for him, I seemed to also In such a tone, said such words.

Fate is so similar.

I smiled slightly and looked at him: "Yes, this is how I arranged it."

With the word "arrangement", I added a little more emphasis. Even through the mask, I could feel his expression froze, and he turned and left coldly.

I stood silently at the gate, watching his back disappear in front of me. At this moment, Yu He walked slowly to my side: "Your Majesty, if you don't even have him by your side——, going south is very dangerous."

"Sir, you go with me."

Yu He's expression suddenly changed: "Your Majesty, just now—"

"I know, Mr. said that you will never guide the sword to the frontier in your life." I smiled slightly, and turned to look at him: "So this time, Mr. going south, it is not the general of the hussars that I am facing, but the guard by my side." Military division, I hope you don't refuse."

Yu He's eyes looked very contradictory and complicated, but after being silent for a while, he still clasped his fists and bowed his body: "I'm taking orders."

After finishing speaking, Yu He also turned around and left. At this time, Li Yan ran up to me and asked, "Sister Emperor, are you going on a long trip?"

"Ah."

"Then, can you take me there?" He looked at me with wide eyes: "I want to go out to play too."

I looked at him and nodded, "Okay."

"Wow, you can go out and play!"

The child was so happy that he immediately jumped up. Seeing him happy, I also smiled, but a place in my heart became heavy unconsciously.

On the eighth day of October, I left Zhaoye, went south along Jincheng, arrived at Dadukou, and traveled all the way to Suzaku south by water. A month later, I had already entered Lingnan.

The weather in early autumn, in Zhaoye, the leaves are already yellow and the grass is dry, a golden autumn landscape, but what you can see along the Lingnan road is full of green, the cool breeze brings bursts of grass and trees, I sit in the spacious In the cabin, there was the sound of water gurgling in my ears, but there was no sound at all.

Originally, at this time, I wanted to go back to Mengjing and take Mu Feng back, but now I can only give up. For the sake of the stability of the court, I can’t communicate with people from Xuanyuan Kingdom for the time being. My child will stay alone in the After leaving that unfamiliar environment, I don’t know when I will come back from southern Xinjiang. At that time, will he be able to recognize people and speak.

Children from other families are always accompanied by their mothers, and the first word they babble speaks is always mother, but since he was born, he has spent so little time with me, I am afraid that when we meet again, he will be a stranger.
Thinking of this, I felt another burst of uncomfortable heart palpitations. As a mother, I owe my children too much.

At this moment, the bead curtain rang softly, and two figures ran in at once.

"Hey, young master, the emperor said he was going to rest, so don't come in and disturb the emperor!"

"Hmph, I don't have any, I'm here to deliver delicious food to the emperor's sister!"

Looking up, it was Yu Sui'er who followed Li Yan and ran in. As soon as he looked up and saw me sitting by the window, he immediately bowed down: "Your Majesty, forgive me, my son, he must break in, and the servant can't do anything about it." .”

I smiled slightly, and saw Li Yan running in front of me: "Sister Emperor, they gave me delicious fruits, and I'll bring them for you to eat together."

Looking down, I saw that he was holding a white jade plate with a bunch of bright red lychees in it, which looked extraordinarily bright and delightful, and he brought it to my eyes: "Taste it, it's delicious."

I smiled and stroked his forehead: "Yan'er is so good."

"Eat and eat."

As Li Yan said, he peeled one and put it in my mouth. It was indeed delicious, juicy, sweet and delicious. I smiled and said, "Mmm, it's delicious."

"Sister Emperor, what kind of fruit is this? Why have we never tasted it?"

"This is called lychee," I twisted one, and said, "Only Lingnan grows this kind of fruit, and it's extremely perishable. What we eat now are all stored in ice cubes, so we have to eat it fresh." Come on, it's even more delicious."

"Really?" He opened his eyes wide: "How delicious would that be?"

I smiled and said: "Someone once left such a poem, eating three hundred lychees a day, and never giving up to be a Lingnan native. Tell me, how delicious it will be."

As soon as I finished saying this, I saw a figure swaying outside. When I took a closer look, it was Yu He. He was standing outside the door, he seemed a little hesitant, but when he heard me read this poem, his eyes flickered. .

Li Yan didn't seem to notice it at all, and thought about the poem seriously, and said, "Well, if I can really have such delicious fruits every day, I will stay in Lingnan as well."

I smiled and patted the top of his head: "If Yan'er really likes lychees so much, I will let you go to Lingnan and make you a high-ranking official when you grow up, so that you can eat such delicious lychees every day." fruit."

"really?"

"Well, but you have to be capable." I looked at him: "Have you read today's book?"

"I'm going to read it now!"

The child immediately turned around and ran to his cabin, Yu Sui'er also hurriedly followed, muttering "Little ancestor, don't run, be careful not to fall", seeing their appearance, I laughed.

When they all left, Yu He was still standing outside, I said softly, "What's the matter, sir?"

"Yes."

"Come in and talk."

Yu He opened the curtain and walked in slowly. I waved my sleeves and asked him to sit on the chair next to him. After he sat down, he said, "Your Majesty, we have already entered the territory of Lingnan Road, and in two days we will arrive at the south of the Five Ridges. Xinjiang's Hu Hua mouth."

"I know."

"We're going south this time, although our whereabouts are hidden, but--she will be aware of it after all, I'm afraid the area around Huhuakou has long been heavily guarded. "

I said lightly, "We won't go out of our way."

Yu He glanced at me, and I continued: "I have already had people prepare a boat in Binhua, tomorrow we will dock at Lingnan and go up the river to Binhua, I have sent people to check on the guards there, it will be much easier. "

"Binhua?" Yu He's face changed slightly: "There—there is a Guanyin storm every autumn, just in case—"

"Avalokitesvara..."

I murmured these three words, and I couldn't help but look out of the window, toward the vast and boundless river.

That night, although I experienced so many things, I still clearly remember that the mountains shook, the ground shook, and the waves were rough, and I still haven’t forgotten the feeling of that hand holding me hard that night, although it was a little bit Painful, but so reassuring.

Only this time, he's not by my side...

I was silent for a while, until Yu He called me again, I turned my head to look at him, and said, "Break through."

"Break?"

Yu He frowned slightly and looked at me.

We all know that Guanyin is violent, how many lives will be swallowed up every year, no matter how brave the fisherman and boatman can dodge, no one dares to say the word "Chuang", I know his hesitation, with so many people, besides, I On the boat, if something goes wrong, I'm afraid there will be another earth-shaking chaos.

I slowly said: "I remember someone once said that even if the sky wants to take him, he will fight against the sky, so he led me to the past, this time, I want to try!"

Seeing the firm gaze in my eyes, Yu He didn't try to dissuade me anymore, but said softly: "I understand."

After finishing speaking, he got up, I knew he was going to go down to give instructions to the people below, but just before he got to the bead curtain, he stopped again and looked back at me: "Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

"I heard that you once recovered your memory in front of the Azure Dragon Hall, but after waking up, you forgot all the past."

My heart moved slightly, and I looked up at him: "What do you want to say?"

"..."

He looked into my eyes, was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "It's nothing, I just feel a little pity. Because the emperor was in Guigu 11 years ago, he had read many good poems left by Mrs. Murong, so he just forgot. Pity."

After speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

As soon as the person left, I was left alone, the room was quiet, only the bead curtain was still shaking, making a rustling sound, as if my heart was beating non-stop at this moment.
