Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

Lu Jifeng walked around like a vagabond by himself, as if he had walked out of the cold mountainous area and reached the town. The corpse in his arms had already decayed, but he did not let go of the pile of wreckage, and he was still wandering around like a disabled person, not knowing where to go . When he reached the village, the clothes on his body were already in tatters, and he looked messy and dirty. He looked like an evil spirit who had just crawled out of hell. Close the door tightly, throwing torches and stones at him from a distance, watching the haggard and crazy figure disappear into the dusk of the dead trees...

The westerly wind is bleak, and the geese are flying from the north to the south. It is already the season of yellow grass in early autumn.Pieces of thin snow drifted from the sky in the north, and several horses galloped towards Baicheng on their fast horses.Although this place is the land of Beiyan, the court of Beiyan is incompetent, and has repeatedly betrayed its sincerity to the state of Wei. The guards on the fast horses are all dressed in the costumes of the state of Wei. They are rampant here, and no one dares to ask. People are like tigers, horses are like dragons, galloping across the dry grass and thin snow, the sound of horseshoes breaking into the streets of the town, the residents hurriedly retreated in panic, and a wide road was left on Baishi Avenue for the line of healthy horses to run.

This group of cavalry broke into the city, yelled and reined in their horses, and the leading general in brocade robe asked in a deep voice, "Where is the lunatic holding the child's skeleton?" The residents looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to answer or not.Hearing the sound of the wind, the guard general of Baicheng hurriedly got off his horse and said, "My lord, you are at the south of the village." The cavalry didn't say anything, they swung their whips and rushed to the south of the city roaring.In the suburbs to the south of the city, there are only yellow grasses, and the ruins of ancient giant stones are so scattered that it is impossible to tell which dynasty or dynasty they belong to.The cavalry guards soon saw a dark figure under the low gray-yellow sky, leaning against the ruins and falling asleep drowsily, with scattered fine bones tightly wrapped in their pockets and hugged in their arms.His messy hair and long beard were tangled with dirt, covering his face, and his body was smelly.

The head of the cavalry officer got off his horse, stepped forward, looked at his almost unrecognizable old face, and called out: "Mr. Lu!" Tuoba Qi recognized Lu Jifeng at a glance, but he couldn't believe that Lu Jifeng had turned into such a appearance.Tuoba Qi endured the sadness, and stretched out his hand to push Lu Jifeng, but Lu Jifeng woke up suddenly, grabbed Tuoba Qi's hand, and stared at Tuoba Qi with bloodshot and yellow eyes, full of defense. Tuobaqi said: "Jun Lu! It's me... Please go back later..." Lu Jifeng couldn't help but kick Tuoba Qi far away with one kick!

The generals were shocked, and they all drew their swords and shouted: "Capture him!" "Stop!" Tuoba Qi shouted. He was kicked by Lu Jifeng until his chest was in severe pain, but luckily his armor was strong enough to save his life. He managed to stand up and said, "Hugh is rude, the emperor wants Lu Jun to go back safely, don't hurt him!" General Yiwei said: "But how do we send it back if we don't capture it? Will he follow us back obediently?" Lu Jifeng looked at them with suspicion and hostility in his eyes.Tuoba Qi was not sure that Lu Jifeng would be obedient, so he stood up and walked forward slowly, saying: "Lu Jun, please go back..."

As soon as he got close, Lu Jifeng strode forward and glared at him, wanting to tear him apart.Everyone knew that he was strong in martial arts, so they didn't dare to get too close, but Tuoba Qi felt a deep powerlessness from his slack eyesight, even if he had a unique skill, he would never be able to use it under that kind of death-like eyes. of. Tuoba Qi stepped forward without fear, and stretched out his hand to pull him onto the horse, but Lu Jifeng let out a long howl, and ran away! Tuoba Qi jumped on his horse and said, "Drive him to Beijing!" Everyone responded in unison, whipped their horses at the same time, and chased Lu Jifeng behind.But he saw Lu Jifeng running like a lightning bolt, running in front of everyone's horses.Tuoba Qi yelled in Xianbei language, commanding the left and right, or outflanking, or rejecting the front and back, and drove Lu Jifeng to the direction of Pingcheng. At the same time, he sent a post horse to report urgently, and asked Tuoba Tao to send an order to wait outside the city with a large army. Good to catch Lu Jifeng.

Lu Jifeng ran wildly with instinct, and the horses of the generals chased them for several days without stopping, changing horses along the way, killing dozens of horses in the stables. The densely packed army has already been lined up, ready to go. Tuobaqi from far away used smoke as a signal, changing colors every ten miles, and when he reached the outskirts of the city for ten miles, the army outside the city saw the smoke and immediately drew their bows to trap Lu Jifeng.The smoke and dust billowed ahead, the ground shook faintly, and dozens of rogue riders covered them at the same time, and Lu Jifeng, who was at the front, rushed over like a streamer.

As soon as the team leader roared, ten thousand flying arrows shot towards Lu Jifeng!Lu Jifeng waved it casually, blocking the rain of arrows, and then thick smoke covered the sky in front of his eyes, and bursts of misty smoke surrounded Lu Jifeng, mixed in the dust and sand all over the sky. As if Lu Jifeng didn't realize it, he climbed up the city wall and disappeared among the thousands of troops. Tuoba Qi caught up and asked, "Have you caught him?" The leading general looked ashen, and said: "No, he... He avoided the arrows and mist and flew into the city." Tuoba Qi said: "Immediately close the city and search for it!"

The general received the order, the army withdrew, and immediately closed the gates of Pingcheng, and the walls were covered with heavy soldiers, waiting for them, not even a pigeon could fly out of the city. Lu Jifeng fled into the city and ran here and there on the heights of the market. He didn't know where he was going, but he just kept running away. He didn't want to see anyone, and he was terrified wherever there were people.But where is no one's place?He had no idea at all. He only knows to run to high places, the ground is full of people, but the higher the place, the less there are people.

When I ran out of the southern suburbs, I saw a huge tower over a hundred feet tall standing in front of me. It looked like a giant standing under the blue sky, and it was like a stone pillar falling from the sky upside down, connecting the sky one after another. The ground of the huge tower is hundreds of giant pillars, supporting the base of the tower. Lu Jifeng was overjoyed, and looked up at the high place where the white clouds were blowing. Surely no one would find him here?As soon as Lu Jifeng raised his true energy, he didn't change his breath, and ran straight to the top of the tower!

Running to a height of hundreds of feet, Lu Jifeng jumped and landed on the high platform at the top of the tower.Clouds and mist floated by, and the cold air rushed into his nose, which made him calm down a little.Lu Jifeng sat down slumped, panting, only the sound of howling wind could be heard in his ears, no one would be chasing him anymore. The bones in his arms are still there, as long as he gets to a place where no one is there, he can keep quiet with this pile of bones, and no one will take it away.Feeling at ease, Lu Jifeng slowly stood up while leaning on the wall, a gust of strong wind almost knocked him off, Lu Jifeng hurriedly stabilized his body, and laughed. But as soon as he looked down from a height, some kind of shocking memory made his legs weak, and he staggered back several steps, not daring to approach the edge.He backed away slowly, into the tower. Inside the high platform is an empty hall, lined with pillars, curling cigarettes, and vaguely chanting sutras everywhere.Lu Jifeng walked slowly, what kind of place is this?How can there be a sense of both familiarity and strangeness? In the curtain in front of him, there seemed to be a vague figure, Lu Jifeng stepped forward two steps in confusion, and was about to lift the curtain, when a blast of frosty true energy struck him! Lu Jifeng didn't even have time to react, he was already knocked out, and fell heavily to the ground. Lu Jifeng stood up reluctantly, his footsteps were unsteady, and he slapped again from the curtain, smashing the wreckage in Lu Jifeng's arms, and scattered everywhere!Lu Jifeng was shocked, let out a vague roar, and rushed towards the curtain!But another burst of frost rushed over, repelling him with a bang! This time Lu Jifeng was beaten so bloody that he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. "Hehe... So, you can't stand it anymore?" A soft and seductive voice came from the curtain.The voice was completely unfamiliar, yet strangely familiar, as if it came from someone he knew very well, speaking in a strange tone on purpose. Lu Jifeng was hit several times, and his whole body was in pain. He tried desperately to support himself, but he could barely move, his elbows kept shaking, and he didn't know where the strength in his body was scattered. Someone urgently called out: "What's the sound?" "Fairy Master! Someone assassinated Heavenly Master?" "Fairy Master is safe?" Then there were bursts of rushing footsteps rushing over, Lu Jifeng only vaguely heard the strange and ethereal voice saying: "Take him out." Then he completely lost consciousness. In a coma, Lu Jifeng could still feel the boundless changes of cold and heat, and sometimes it was so cold that he wished he could shrink into the smallest ball, but the coldness disappeared quickly, and was replaced by terrible scorching heat, from outside to inside. The heat made him feel as if he had been thrown into a frying pan, and he was turned over and over again without dying. Are you in hell?Is this the bloody price?Lu Jifeng suddenly felt as if he had been chopped off by the waist, and the violent tearing force almost grabbed him in two pieces, he took a closer look, one side was Qianlu, and the other side was Ruozi, the two of them each pulled his side, scoffed With a bang, he was pulled apart, split in two, his internal organs spilled all over the floor, but he was still alive. Lu Jifeng was so painful that he wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound, and wanted to struggle, his hands and feet were not his own.How should I deal with myself?How to wake up from this boundless Ling Chi? Lu Jifeng screamed, saw the blazing fire in front of him, and felt that he was sweating profusely, suffering unspeakably. Someone said: "Be patient, it will be fine in a while, and you will be fine in a while." Lu Jifeng's whole body seemed to be filled with lead, it was too heavy to be his own, he didn't even have the strength to breathe, and finally passed out slowly again. When Lu Jifeng opened his eyes again, he was lying on the clean and spacious couch. The sun shines in from the window sills, shining on the spotless interior, the bronze tripod and the jade sandalwood stove emit a clear and delicate fragrance, and the two cranes with copper lamps rest quietly on both sides. Lu Jifeng suddenly felt exhausted, why is he here?What is this place again? Some servants came in to greet him, helped him to the bed respectfully, arranged his appearance and changed his clothes.Lu Jifeng was startled when his own face was reflected in the bronze mirror, he suddenly became so haggard that he could hardly recognize himself. The servants retreated, and six Taoist priests said outside the door: "The national teacher, please tell me about the alchemy room." Lu Jifeng was even more startled, National Teacher?He went back to Pingcheng by himself?He turned his head and looked, and there were green branches and green leaves of plum trees outside the door, it really was the landscape of Pingcheng. Lu Jifeng followed the Taoist priests through the corridors and gardens, and saw that there was a layer of hoarfrost everywhere, and the weather has already entered autumn and winter?How long have you been in a coma?Lu Jifeng's heart was empty, and he couldn't explain why he felt lost. Kou Qianzhi came up to meet him and said, "My lord, how do you feel?" Lu Jifeng didn't say anything, Kou Qianzhi welcomed him into a small hall and invited him to sit without saying a word. Kou Qianzhi said: "Offended!" He stepped forward and took Lu Jifeng's hand, pressed his pulse, and then retreated with peace of mind, saying: "Master Lu should be fine, sir, you are really angry and lost your sanity. In order to heal my lord, Pindao threw a lot of powerful medicines, which caused my lord to suffer countless torments. If it were a mortal, he would have died of burns, but fortunately, my lord survived." Lu Jifeng still felt dazed. Although he understood Kou Qianzhi's words, he didn't know how to respond. He just listened quietly, looking at the sun and blue sky outside the window distractedly from time to time, with something sore in his chest. Seeing that Lu Jifeng was still in a daze, Kou Qianzhi said, "My lord, did you hear what I said?" He asked several times in a row before Lu Jifeng nodded and waved his hand casually to show that he knew. Kou Qianzhi said: "The emperor is looking for you everywhere, and after you recuperate, he will follow the poor to do a big event, do you know?" Lu Jifeng didn't respond, he didn't know what he was thinking.Kou Qianzhi had no choice but to continue: "Are you tired? Alas! Forget it, it seems that you don't hear what the poor man said... You go to rest and wait for the emperor to summon you!" Lu Jifeng was taken down again, and Kou Qianzhi's sigh could still be heard behind him. After recuperating for a day or two in the State Teacher's Mansion, the palace sent envoys to bring the imperial clothes and medicines. The envoys inquired very diligently. He didn't ask anything, he was like a walking dead, his complexion was gradually recovering, but his eyes were always cold and unfocused, he didn't know what he was thinking or where he was looking. After a few days, Tuoba Qi came to welcome him into the palace, the audience said a lot of things, and performed many rituals according to others, and saw Tuoba Tao, but Lu Jifeng didn't want to remember the details at all, and his mind went somewhere, He just couldn't take it back, when he came back to his senses again, he was already in the team of horses and horses, running fast towards the west. Lu Jifeng remembered, Tuobatao wanted him to go to Beiliang, why did he go to Beiliang?He didn't care, the emperor wanted him to go, he went, where to go, what to do, it was all the same. Lu Jifeng and his group sent by the Emperor Wei hurriedly crossed the Yellow River, trudged through Kucha, and rushed to Guzang City day and night. They ignored the generals guarding the city and rushed in. The crowd in Quzhou caused bursts of exclamation and howls, and the people who were overturned and trampled by horseshoes before they could dodge in time did not know how many people. A road in the capital city turned into a bloody road, but no officers and soldiers from Liangguo came forward to stop it.Ever since the nine kingdoms of the Western Regions lost their sincerity to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the whereabouts of the national teacher Tan Wuzhen was unknown, Beiliang, under the situation of being attacked by enemies, did not dare to have a long-term plan at all, and had already become a vassal of the Wei Kingdom. Early on, there were Wei State's first envoys waiting in the city to meet them. When they heard the commotion of this group of people, they came forward to meet them in time and led them to the imperial palace in Beiliang. Although the imperial palace belongs to Liang State, they dare not prevent Wei State soldiers from entering. Even the Northern Liang Imperial Army has already been ordered to withdraw from the palace, and the guards and supervisors in the palace are allowed to let the Imperial Army troops wearing Wei State uniforms Rampage, broke into the harem. Although Juqu Mujian is the monarch of a country that is remote in the north and cool and respects military force, he has been well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, and he has admired Chinese culture. Enjoyment, his palace is not as simple and grand as the Wei State, but is full of exquisite carvings and landscape layouts. Lu Jifeng followed the crowd to the deep and secret harem. Along the way, he saw that although it was winter, it was decorated with flowers made of various colored satins, and the mountains were piled up with rocks, and the soil was dug to make rivers, irrigating the strange land of the Northland. There are different flowers and plants, but you can see carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, painted citrons, and the breeze brings bursts of incense and bead curtains. It is a scene of a fairy world. All the flowers and trees exuding a mysterious fragrance were trampled to pieces by the iron hooves of the imperial guards of the Wei State. These rude and impatient troops of the State of Wei did not match the exquisite beauty in front of them at all. Lu Jifeng and the guards stepped into the hall with their iron armor and leather boots. The weight of the iron armor was enough to crush the delicate carved jade railings. They violently opened the jade curtain and broke into the snow-white hall.The servants and maids were too frightened to step aside and dare not go forward, allowing them to go straight into the inner palace of the most noble queen. The imperial doctor greeted him and said, "See the leader of the army." Lu Jifeng remained silent, Tuobaqi asked, "Where's Wuwei?" "The condition is still serious, please take a look at it." The imperial doctor led the crowd into the inner hall. The vast imperial couch was covered with layers of imperial tents. Someone was lying in it faintly. The room was full of medicinal fragrance, but it carried the meaning of death. Regardless of the defense between men and women, Tuoba Qi rushed forward and lifted the imperial couch. In the couch, Princess Wuwei's cheeks were sunken, her complexion was pale, and she was panting slightly. She had completely lost her former plumpness and beauty. Tuoba Qi said angrily: "Why did it become like this?" The imperial doctor said: "This... the minister's urgent report has already stated that the emperor is aware of everything in the inner palace. Please forgive me, my lord." Tuoba Qi took a deep breath, desperately restraining his anger.Less than three months after Tuobaxue married to Liangguo, the starry night news came out, saying that Tuobaxue was seriously ill.Originally thought that she couldn't bear to think about it and intentionally got sick to ask for death, Tuoba Tao immediately sent his own imperial doctor to treat her, and ordered that her life must be saved.The imperial doctor managed to save Tuobaxue, but the report was sent back to the emperor: Tuobaxue was not sick, but poisoned and murdered. Someone dared to murder Princess Wei and Queen Liang. As soon as this shocking report reached Tuoba Tao, Tuoba Tao immediately dispatched countless spies to investigate the reason.But the reason is not difficult to find out. It turned out that Juqu Mujian, the king of Liang who succeeded to the throne, had already had an affair with his sister-in-law Li Shi when he was a prince.That Mrs. Li was among the brothers, and no one would let him go.In addition, Juqu Mujian committed incest with his biological sister, Princess Xingping, corrupting Gangchang, and he was not ashamed of it. After Tuobaxue entered the palace, Juqu Mujian was fascinated by her peerless beauty, and Tuobaxue had such a strong background as Wei Emperor's sister, so Juqu Mujian justifiably pampered her, and put all his desires to death. Put it on Tuobaxue's body, indulge in sex day and night, and never get lucky with other women.For Tuobaxue, it was unspeakably miserable, and life was worse than death. At the same time, it also aroused the jealousy of Li Shi and Princess Xingping, and they conspired to poison Queen Tuobaxue. Tuobaxue was poisoned by the poison, and it was regarded as a relief. She thought that she would be able to die if she endured it for a few days, but the medical attendants sent by Tuobatao rescued her again, making her want to die but unable to live. She had no choice but to stop eating or drinking, and just waited for her breath to die. Tuoba Tao was at a loss, he had already planned to destroy Liang and take the country, before the army was dispatched, Liang country must not be alerted, so Tuoba Xue could not be welcomed back, when he was in a dilemma, Tuoba Qi came up with a plan There is only one person who may be able to comfort Wuwei, and that person is naturally Lu Jifeng, whom Princess Wuwei loves. Obviously, he already knew about Tuobaxue's situation. Seeing the dying Princess Wuwei in the couch under the deep curtain, Tuoba Qi was still unbearably sad and angry. He immediately turned around and went straight outside the hall without saying a word , only took his confidant and rushed out of the palace, heading straight for Princess Xingping's mansion. But Lu Jifeng just sat beside Princess Wuwei's sick bed, stroking her cold and wet forehead, and staring at her silently. Tuobaqi and his party broke into the princess mansion with dozens of cavalry, without even dismounting their horses, they rushed straight into the inner hall. Whoever blocked them along the way, regardless of their status, raised their knives and slashed and killed them. . Tuoba Qi, covered in blood, ran into the boudoir. Princess Xingping, who was about to escape from the dressing table, had not yet seen who the intruding bandit was. . The bright and glaring blood stained the entire wall made of fragrant wood, Tuoba Qi cursed: "You obscene witch!" He spat on the corpse, and then chopped off her head with a single knife, holding the A messy head of a pearl hairpin came out, tied the hair of the human head on the side of the saddle, got back on the horse, and shouted: "Go!" Seeing that he had killed the chief culprit, the cavalry roared and laughed wildly, turned their horses around after him, ran out of the princess mansion, and went to kill the king's mansion in the west of the city. The palace had already received the news that Mrs. Li had fled the palace in a hurry before Tuoba Qi arrived, not knowing where she was hiding.Tuoba Qi was in vain, but couldn't find Li's everywhere, so angry that he slaughtered in the palace for a while, and added countless grievances. Tuoba Qi ordered people to drag out all the corpses from the princess mansion and the king's mansion, and then exposed the corpses in the streets. Looking at the frightened and angry eyes of the people of Liangguo, although there were only a dozen riders around him, he was confident and patted his horse forward. , untied Princess Xingping's head, and threw it in front of the corpse.Everyone couldn't bear to look at the miserable corpse in fine clothes. Tuobaqi's horse walked back and forth before exposing the corpse twice, then looked at the people, and said coldly: "The witch and the adulteress corrupt human relations, rebelled against the government, and murdered the queen. Such evil deeds should be divided into five horses, and death is not enough. Guilty! For the honor of his clan, to protect his whole body, and to expose his body for seven days from now on, and to look directly at the heavens, whoever dares to bury him will be guilty of the same crime!" All the people were silent, Tuoba Qi shouted: "Whoever dares to bully the children of the Tuoba family will end up like this, and the world will learn from each other!" After this massacre, Tuoba Qi finally let go of his hatred, flattered his horse and rushed back to the palace, wrote a letter and sent it back to Pingcheng, pleading with Tuoba Tao for killing the clan of the neighboring country.This crime can be as big as treason, or it can be ignored at all, it just depends on what the emperor decides, but Tuoba Qi has nothing to do with it. Tuoba Xue was still unconscious, Tuoba Qi looked at his younger sister's thin and haggard face, and couldn't help but knelt down beside the couch, holding her hand and choked up sobbing. Tuobaxue seemed to feel something when she was drowsy for a few times, but she didn't have the strength to wake up. It seemed that someone told her in her ear: "Lu Jifeng is back." He opened his eyes. The room was always surrounded by Liang people, but at this moment she saw Wei's clothes, Tuobaxue choked up, and woke up leisurely, Tuobaqi pulled her, and whispered earnestly: "Xiaoxue!" Tuobaxue was weak all over, and a strand of long hair hung down on her chest like a waterfall, making the weak body under the single clothes even paler.Tuoba Qi wept with joy, hugged her and said: "You finally woke up, look, Lu Jifeng has also come, he has been guarding you for several days, and never left." Tuoba Xue looked at Lu Jifeng who was sitting on the side of the couch, Tuoba Qi gently moved her into Lu Jifeng's arms, Tuoba Xue didn't know whether it was a dream or real for a moment, she stretched out her hand to touch Lu Jifeng's thin face, choked with distress Word.Lu Jifeng hugged her back with a gentle expression, but he didn't say anything, he just gently stroked her back, letting Tuobaxue cuddle tightly, weeping his clothes. Perhaps because of Lu Jifeng's presence, Tuobaxue's condition gradually improved, and he no longer just wanted to die quickly.As for Tuoba Qi's own letter of pleading guilty, Tuoba Tao's reply letter has also been sent to Guzang City. Tuoba Tao, who has always been gentle, has such a cruel behavior, which makes Tuoba Tao very surprised, but he was only slightly surprised, and he couldn't help secretly applauding, Tuoba Tao himself would do the same.Tuoba Qi's actions showed that the brothers were united. He always thought that Tuoba Qi was gentle and cowardly, and could not be used. But this time, he did what he wanted. Therefore, not only did he absolve Tuoba Qi of the crime, He even ordered Juqu Mujian to take Li's family to Pingcheng as a hostage. After receiving Wei's letter of credence, Juqu Mujian was even more worried. At night, he secretly summoned several confidant officials to hold a secret meeting in the side hall.Juqu Mujian passed the letter of state to everyone to read, and asked: "Wei Guo deceived me too much, not only killed the eldest sister of the lonely king, but also wanted to kill his wife, this is tolerable, but it is unbearable to be familiar with!" Wang Di Juqu said angrily: "Wei State has always been deceiving me. It is not enough to send envoys to extort money every year. The crown prince is already a hostage in Wei State. Even his wife will not let him go. Who will go next time?" As a hostage?" Juqu Mujian sighed worriedly, and said: "Wei State has a strong army and a Cui Hao who can know the future. I am afraid that Liang State will have to wait for it to be swallowed up by whales." Ju Qu said without hesitation: "Tuoba Qi only has one or two hundred people, why not surround the palace now and burn them all to death inside!" The right minister Song Yao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please don't be impatient. It is a trivial matter to kill Tuoba Qi, but Tuoba Qi is a brother and brother of the Lord Wei, and we must send troops to avenge him. In this way, we have endured humiliation for the country for many years, and it is not all in vain. Yet?" General Juqu Pangzhou sneered and said: "Hmph, the prime minister is too timid! Emperor Wei is really so powerful, he has already invaded our country, and he still wants to marry a princess? I think Wei is an empty shell!" Right Prime Minister Song Yao asked, "How can you see that?" Juqu said Zhou Zhou: "Wei Guo fought against Rouran several times, and either they were defeated or the army died of the epidemic. Rouran also captured Tuoba Pi, the eldest brother of Lord Wei, and did not see the Wei army to rescue him. Over the years? Wei has conquered all these years, and its national strength has been weakened. Rouran is the strongest! We should cooperate with Rouran to besiege Wei, and give Wei’s treasures to Rouran and the people of the land to us! " Juqu Mujian nodded, agreeing quite a bit.Song Yao hurriedly said: "Don't be rash! I spent a lot of gold, silver and treasures in secret dealings with the important officials of the Wei State for many years. The situation of the Wei State that I spy on is not quite the same as what the general said." Zhou Juqu said angrily: "What? Do you think I'm talking nonsense?" Song Yao said: "Don't dare, dare not, but what if the Wei State is actually still strong?" Juqu Mujian said anxiously: "Guessing all the time, Gu Wang don't listen to your conjectures! What to do, give Gu Wang an idea, don't lose the majesty of the clan, and don't endanger the survival of the clan!" King Liang came up with such a dilemma, which made all the officials quiet for a while. Right Prime Minister Song Yao boldly said: "According to my opinion, Mrs. Li must be sent to Wei State. This is to reduce Wei Emperor's suspicion of our country. I have bribed Wei's Hongnong King Xi Jin and Shang Shu Li Shun and others, they have always been at odds with Cui Hao, and they are nobles. Emperor Wei can't trust them any more. As long as they prevent Emperor Wei from invading in front of Emperor Wei, we will strengthen military training and wait until the plan with Rouran is perfected. It is a good strategy to kill Wei Guo by surprise." Juqu Mujian pondered for a while, this is indeed a relatively safe strategy, but when he thought of Li's hastily fleeing in the daytime, pulling him with dust and disheveled hair, he cried tremblingly, "Help me, my lord. Your Majesty, save me!" That pitiful look made Juqu Mujian's heart soften again, and he said angrily: "No! No! Tuoba Qi slaughtered the Juqu royal family like pigs and dogs, it is too insulting to the dignity of the Liang Kingdom ! Send Mrs. Li as a hostage, how much insult will you suffer? The majestic King Liang, can't even protect a woman?" When all the ministers saw this, they all kept silent, and after a while, the younger brother Juqu said without hesitation: "My sister has died by the knife, and we can't hurt my sister-in-law anymore. What can I do! If you really have the ability, come and invade, and see if it is so easy to take over Liangguo!" Song Yao said: "Forget it, I have something to say." Juqu Mujian said coldly: "If you have anything to say in frustration, finish it at once!" Song Yao smiled wryly, and said: "My minister's humble opinion is: if you don't hand over your wife, you have to take advantage of Tuobaqi's presence in the territory, and now send your wife out of the country immediately, and Tuobaqi can't find anyone to lynch her." Second, Emperor Wei did not dare to act rashly to send troops to invade, and when Tuoba Qi and others left, the desert would be thousands of miles away, and Emperor Wei would not be able to find Madam's whereabouts." After hearing this, Juqu Mujian said happily, "Your opinion is very good! I just follow Qing's opinion." Juqu Mujian dispatched many men that night to escort a large sum of treasure with Li to escape from Guzang and not hand it over to Wei Guo.On the one hand, additional envoys were sent to Rouran for emergency, ready to deal with Wei Guo at any time. With Tuoba Qi and others staying in the harem, Juqu Mujian certainly did not dare to enter the palace casually, and Tuobaxue was able to recover from his illness with peace of mind.Tuobaxue's illness is gradually recovering. Lu Jifeng is by her side every day. Although he doesn't say anything, his attitude is gentle and considerate, and his face is pleasant. Tuobaxue is very moved. If this is a dream, then as long as he never wakes up That's it. As time passed, she gradually noticed that Lu Jifeng had become very silent, and his smile was also cold. Why did it happen?Did he successfully break into Xuanpu and kill the witch?It must be, otherwise how could he return safely?However, why did it seem that even his heart was killed, turning into such a person of wood and stone without sorrow or joy? On that day, Tuoba Xue and Lu Jifeng held hands and strolled through the imperial garden.It was already midwinter at this time, and there was a pure white world everywhere, even the palaces and pavilions in the distance were crushed in the ice-like coldness. Tuobaxue stopped, looked at Lu Jifeng, and said, "Lu Jifeng, please talk to me, okay?" Lu Jifeng smiled, stroked her face, and held her in his arms.Tuobaxue hugged his strong embrace tightly, and said: "You will return to Pingcheng soon, and you will leave me alone in this land of tigers and wolves, but I don't complain, you are willing to come to see me, I am already dead Don't complain! Now I just ask you to talk to me and let me know the pain in your heart. " Lu Jifeng silently lowered his head, held her face up, and kissed her lips.Tuobaxue was startled, and let Lu Jifeng kiss her, tears streaming down his face. When Lu Jifeng let her go, Tuobaxue threw herself into his arms crying, "You want to make up for me, don't you? What happened to you? Why did you become like this?" She could feel the deep apology and disappointment in the kiss of the person she was embracing, as if she was carrying an unknown amount of guilt, wishing to use everything to repay it, and that was not what Lu Jifeng wanted. Seeing that Lu Jifeng was completely unresponsive, Tuobaxue grabbed Lu Jifeng's chest, beat hard, and shouted: "I don't want you to feel that you owe me! I just want to know what happened to you? Why did you become like this? Lu Jifeng ! You talk, you talk!" Tuobaxue hit him several times before looking at him helplessly panting. Lu Jifeng endured her beating and didn't even have the energy to resist, so her chest was red, swollen and black. Tuobaxue saw Unable to bear it, she hugged him and cried bitterly.

Why did you become like this after breaking through the stone room? If I had known... If I had known this, I wouldn't have helped you..." Tuobaxue choked up, and sat down on the snow ground weakly, covering his eyes. Face sobbed. She didn't know how long she cried before Lu Jifeng squatted down, hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "Give me a little more time." Tuobaxue was startled, and looked at Lu Jifeng anxiously.Was it Lu Jifeng who spoke to her just now?She wasn't sure, and her tearful eyes were full of anxious doubts. Lu Jifeng wiped away tears for her, looked at her tenderly, and spoke again: "Give me a little more time, I... have a lot of things to think about." His tone was blunt because he hadn't spoken for a long time. Tuobaxue's tears flowed more urgently, and he nodded vigorously, saying: "Well, I won't force you anymore, you think slowly, I...I will I’ve been waiting here for you, alive and waiting for you!” Lu Jifeng smiled slightly, and hugged Tuobaxue tightly, in the boundless cold.
