MTL - Allure of the World-Chapter 276 Recapture Moshan
But no matter what, Qingyun can always sleep peacefully all night.
After August 15th, Huo Jingyun never slept soundly.
When the dark guard he sent came back and said that the plan had failed, he understood that he and Sima Hui must have a settlement.
There is no lamp in Guhuaxuan. In the dark, Yang Qing stands quietly outside the door.
A slender figure sat quietly in the shadows, and he had been sitting there alone for two hours. The ever-bright light in the yard outside left a dim halo through the window.
On the small table next to it, the cup was half poured, and the liquor was overflowing.
He never liked drinking, but now, he is drinking alone. No delicacies, no lovers, no silk and bamboo, no bosom friends.
He has never been drunk until now, and now he drank two jars by himself, and he is still not drunk.
Yes, he was never drunk, he has always been so awake, and soberly saw his own sinking and falling.
Staying in the dark, he could see the palace maids and chamberlains passing by, and even Yang Qing's anxious face.
He remembered that many years ago, in the back mountain of Liuhe Mountain, the master punished him for his playfulness and made him stand upside down against the big tree. It was very dark and mosquitoes were hovering. He was afraid. When Hui came, he didn't say a word, and stayed with him all the time.
When he saw his brother, he immediately felt relieved. He was actually only a year older than him.
At that time, he thought he would always be with his brother.
When I grew up, I had such desires and needs. Things that I felt very happy at that time will no longer be necessary when I grow up.
Sima Hui was wiser than himself. He was assassinated in Daxing but did not ask for help. He must have realized who was going to kill him.
I thought that when Sima Hui died, he would send someone to Nanzhao to help him take care of his funeral and to assist in the daily affairs of Nanzhao.
If Sima Hui is not dead, if he returns to Nanzhao Kingdom, what should he do to him? Huo Jingyun didn't think about it, but felt that he could not be given any chance to breathe and prepare.
Huo Jingyun knew Sima Hui.
He had secretly sent troops to Nanzhao Kingdom immediately after the failed assassination of Sima Hui. The army is expected to arrive in ten days.
For the interior of Nanzhao Kingdom, he has already found Sima Rong, the son of Sima Hui's younger uncle, and promised him favorable conditions.
Huo Jingyun picked up the wine cup, and the spicy spirits slid down his throat. He wanted to taste what it was like to be drunk.
There is still no news from Qingyun, she is really leaving him this time, and he underestimates her. In the past six months, he used all his strength and failed to find Qingyun.
The ministers wrote letters one after another, asking for the establishment of the harem, but he refused. This matter, he wants to do whatever he wants.
He was not drunk, but his face turned red. The face is clear and handsome, the cheeks are thin, and there seems to be a heavy haze in the eyes.
At this time, he does not need anyone to accompany him, because this is his weakest time. Taking the throne is a big step closer to his success, and he knows that the road ahead will be even more difficult.
"Master!" Huo Jingyun toasted the empty cup, "You lied to me, you didn't tell me that for the so-called success, you have to lose so much. And you can only move forward, and then No way out!"
"Master, why do I have the whole world, but not her heart? And brother, you said, brother is just a pawn, but why do I feel so distressed when I pull out a pawn?"
Huo Jingyun drank the whole glass of white wine, but he was still not drunk at all.
"Which empress' palace will the emperor go to rest tonight?" Yang Qing asked.
"Return to Health Hall."
His pace is so steady, there is no hesitation. Since they are all chess pieces, why should you be sad, everything will pay the price.
Of course, he also paid a price. The price for him is that he may be lonely all his life, and he will lose the only woman he likes forever.
It's so cold at the heights, that's how it feels. he thought silently.
Qing Yun lived in Yilan Palace for two days before meeting Sima Hui.
He was pale and his eyes were sunken. At first glance, it is the result of overwork. His injury is not yet healed.
Qingyun asked Xiaojing to bring him medicine, "I know you are busy these few days, and we don't know the rules of your palace. The medicine is ready for you, but we didn't deliver it."
Sima Hui said: "The Yilan Palace is very close to the Qingsong Palace where this king lives. If you have anything to do, you can go to this king directly. You don't have to see the concubines in the palace. You don't need to bow to them. .You are this king's honored guest, you said you want to be clean, I only arranged two palace maids and two guards, you can go to them directly if you have anything."
Sima Hui arranged Qingyun in the Yilan Hall, and did not tell anyone their identities, and no one dared to ask.
In the palace, only one woman was brought back by the king, and there was a child who was still in swaddling clothes. The king let them live in Yilan Hall, but they did not have any status.
There are too many people in the palace who have no names and no positions, just because this woman has a child makes everyone imagine.
Everyone basically guesses that this is the woman and child of the king outside.
After Sima Hui came back, he had discovered that Huo Jingyun secretly dispatched 100,000 troops and ambushed in Changyun Mountain, fifty miles north of Nanzhao Kingdom. He found a confidant in the past two days and lined up all night.
In the daytime, in the courtroom, he chatted and laughed with the ministers, and chatted with Sima Rong, as if he did not know that the army was overwhelmed. At night, he hardly slept through the night, staring at the battlefield ahead. He must win this battle.
Qingyun will let the girls deliver medicinal food to Sima Hui every day.
How can he fight against such a powerful Daxing?
But in the battle of Changyun Mountain, Huo Jingyun didn't make a profit. After all, this is the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom. Moreover, Sima Hui was good at formation and guerrilla attack. He used 50,000 troops to break up Daxing's 100,000 army.
This time it was Zhou Kai who led the troops. Huo Jingyun did not send his proud Grand Marshal Nangong Mu.
The 100,000-strong army was stationed in Changyun Mountain. They could not advance, nor retreat. They did not move, nor did Nan Zhao's army move. As long as they moved, the cavalry of Nan Zhao's army rushed up immediately. Shock their team.
Two months later, the original 100,000 people in the Daxing army were only 60,000. Still stationed in Changyun Mountain.
When Ling Ziqing was three months old, Qingyun found a wet nurse to feed him. She stopped feeding him herself, handed Ling Ziqing over to Xiaojing and Nanny Ah Feng, and returned to Moshan alone.
Because of her pregnancy some time ago, she was afraid of hurting the child in her womb, so she didn't dare to do anything, and she used to think that those things were not her business, as if they were far away from her, and they all It's the people she cares about, and she doesn't want to hurt anyone.
It turns out that no one cares what she thinks, whether she likes it or not. There are many things she can't avoid at all. Those who hurt her the most were often the ones she thought were relatives.
Nowadays, she's figured out a lot of things. Some accounts need to be settled, and some lost things need to be recovered.
She doesn't want to care about those who don't care about herself.
Every time she thinks of Ling Chen, her heart hurts so much that she can't breathe.
She found her uncle Chen Wu and cousin Chen Heran.
That night, Uncle Chen Wen was born. One after another, fireworks bloomed in the night sky, colorful and bright, instantly decorating the night with incomparable beauty.
Moshan was brightly lit all night, and in the second half of the night, the air was filled with the faint smell of cloves, and countless large snakes over one meter long rushed into Chen Wen's bedroom. Chen Wen left without making any sound.
More than 500 people from Chen Wen's family were wiped on their necks in their sleep. The **** smell of the entire Moshan permeated for many days.
On the second day, my uncle Chen Wu took charge of Moshan again.
Qingyun is now doing these things without mercy. These familiar people killed her lover and forced her grandfather to death.
Moshan originally had Chen Wu's people, killed Chen Wen's direct line, and no one else was willing to kill their own people.
Qingyun assisted my uncle to take down Moshan, and adjusted Moshan's defense again.
She knew that Huo Jingyun would not let go, especially since he would soon know that Qingyun helped his little uncle regain Moshan, and he would not let go.
Qingyun returned to Moshan this time to regain Moling.
She is no longer the woman who hides behind Ling Chen and thinks about love every day.
There is no one to protect her from the wind and rain, Sima Hui only let her rely on temporarily, she does not want to rely on others.
For son, for Ling Chen. What I can do now is to turn against the world and choose the most difficult and dangerous path.
Moling was a dowry given to her by her grandfather. She once thought of returning it to her grandfather. At that time, she did not think that she would need Moling.
She and her cousin Chen Heran took everyone to make a lot of bombs and buried them at all the entrances of Moshan. She personally made various traps where Moshan and Qingyunshan could go up the mountain.
Ghost arrows, or caltrops, commonly known as "ghosts see sorrow", are buried on both sides of the road into the mountain. They are small in size and highly concealed. Once the enemy army and war horse are stabbed by it, they will be disabled even if they don't die, which is extremely sinister.
Many catapults were added on the mountain, directly facing the intersection under the mountain, covering basically every place under the mountain. And the projectiles turned into bombs, gunpowder, and even poison.
At this point, she sees herself as a hunter. Moshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Moshan is connected to the winding Qinglong Mountain. Qingyun has used Qinglong Mountain as their retreat. They were familiar with the terrain, and it was not so easy for Huo Jingyun to capture Moshan.
Since she has taken Moshan, she doesn't want to lose it again.
Qingyun lived in Moshan for more than ten days, but Huo Jingyun did not send an army to Moshan. Even Chen Chao didn't move.
Qing Yun couldn't believe it, Huo Jingyun didn't respond to such a big movement from Mo Shan.
Sent spies to report back, Huo Jingyun has sent people to set up layers of checkpoints at the intersections around Moshan.
After half a month, Qingyun took Mo Ling down the mountain alone, and she was going to various branches.
Qing Yun dressed up as a local mountain resident, carried half a bag of mountain treasures, and changed his face. The road that Qingyun walked directly.
She knew very well that Huo Jingyun did not attack the mountain, but was waiting for her at the foot of the mountain. If she walked along the path, it would be easier to be discovered.
There are two women with baskets in front of them, Qingyun deliberately chatted with them and asked the price of pheasants.
The old woman with freckles said: "It's better if you don't deal with it, you can see the quality, don't worry, you follow us, and we'll sell for a good price!"
Talking and laughing, passed the first level smoothly.
There is an intersection in front, Qingyun found that there are many soldiers stationed there. Among these people, he discovered Gu Fan.
She now wears a lot of clothes, and her face is changed, her complexion is slightly dark, her hair is messy, it is difficult for those who do not know her to recognize her, because she does not resemble the portrait at all.
But when Gu Fan stood there, when their eyes met, they always revealed some information.
Qing Yun tried her best not to look at Gu Fan. She followed behind the two old ladies, bowing her head and plucking the mushrooms in her bag.
The guards had let go, and Gu Fan suddenly stopped her: "The one at the back, stop!"
Qing Yun walked last, she pretended not to hear and continued walking.
Gu Fan walked over quickly and grabbed her: "You, stop."
Qingyun stopped, "Master, what's the matter?" She pretended to be afraid, trembling slightly.
"What's wrong?" A person stood up under the blue umbrella in front.
The familiar voice, Qingyun immediately heard it, it was Huo Jingyun.
It turns out he came in person.
Qingyun turned to him sideways, and quietly looked around, there was a horse parked in front of him, which could be taken over, and there was a checkpoint in front of him. There is a simple teahouse next to it, and three or four people are sitting and drinking tea.
Qing Yun's weapon this time only wants to use poison. Her hand slipped quietly into her pocket.
Gu Fan said to Huo Jingyun, "Master, there is nothing unusual about this woman looking at her dark skin, but when I saw her hands just now, her hands were very white and tender, not like working in the mountains at all. man of."
Qing Yun secretly regretted in his heart, he was careless. Her hands are indeed not disguised, white and tender.
Qingyun said in a rough voice: "Master, the women always wear protective gear when they work, so they are clean."
Qing Yun watched Huo Jingyun walk slowly. He stared at her with a sudden smile in his eyes. He had already recognized her, with this smile, as if the cat saw the mouse, teasing and joking.
In his eyes, Qingyun can't escape his palm.
She grabbed a handful of the drug from her pocket without hesitation and it was still on them. Seeing that several soldiers had fainted, Huo Jingyun and Gu Fan were not affected.
They held their breath and stepped forward to catch Qingyun, but Qingyun had already grabbed the horse in front of him, got on his horse, and ran forward.
"Qingyun! Don't run, I won't hurt you!" Huo Jingyun shouted a few times.
Qingyun runs faster.
Huo Jingyun instructed in a deep voice: "Flying pigeons pass the book, re-send her current appearance to various places, and let each level check carefully, be sure to catch her, and don't hurt her! "
"Yes!" The guard next to him immediately sent a message.
Huo Jingyun and Gu Fan already got on the horse and chased after him.
Huo Jingyun's heart skipped a beat.
When he heard that Moshan was taken away by Chen Wu, he thought it was a civil war between their gangs, but later heard that a lot of bombs and drugs were used, and there were many poisonous snakes , It was done by a woman who assisted Chen Wu, and he understood that Qingyun was back.
He did not let the army attack Moshan.
Firstly, Moshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. He doesn't want to destroy Moshan. Second, he has to concentrate on dealing with Nanzhao Kingdom. Moshan has no threat to him for the time being, and he does not want to deal with it now. There is another most important reason, he is afraid to scare away Qingyun.
