Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

At the beginning of spring next year, a distinguished guest came to Mobei.Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyong personally accompanied the queen back to the Turkic relatives.In the eyes of neighboring countries, they all only said that the emperor of Zhou really loved the empress very much, which was extraordinary. The grassland in front of me is vast and boundless, spreading boldly to the distance and connecting the lines of the sky.The cool wind was bleak, and there was a neat rustling sound all around.The winding mountains outline a layered picture, and the floating clouds highlight the sense of transparency under the dazzling morning light.

Once again set foot on the Turkic land, Yu Wenyong only felt the memories of the past, and those fleeting beautiful scenes flooded into his heart like a tide. Under the starlight, she sang softly... In the night, he and she galloped on horseback against the wind in the night, chasing each other... On the horse hunting field, her tall and tall figure shines brightly like the rising sun... By the Crescent Lake, that uncontrollable tender kiss... I don't know why the old injury on my shoulder started to hurt again, and the longing buried deep in my heart spread uncontrollably along with the pain...

If this is the arrangement of fate, why is it such a trick of God? The horror of fate lies in this—a seemingly casual encounter, when added to others, immediately becomes the greatest contradiction and pain in life, which cannot be avoided or changed, and even wanting to turn back is delusional. The person in his heart is right there at this very moment, just so close. However, that is the territory of the enemy country. She and he have always been enemies. She was so close to him, yet so far away.It's like a cloud floating in the sky, you can clearly see it, but you can't touch it.

Obviously close at hand, but far away in the sky. And Chang Gong also got the news of Yu Wenyong's arrival almost at the same time. "I heard that Yu Wenyong intends to marry his younger sister Princess Qinghe to Khan this time, so as to further strengthen the alliance." Chang Gong frowned slightly, "It seems that they will make another move soon." Heng Jia smiled, "Soldiers come to block, water comes and soil floods. Don't worry too much." "It's been a few years of peace. If there is a war, the imperial court will definitely have to conscript again. It's not the people who suffer." Chang Gong sighed softly, with a faint look of worry flowing between his brows.

"So, if we want real peace in the world, we can only rely on force to unify these countries. In the short term, this situation of the three kingdoms will not change for the time being." Heng Jia raised his eyebrows, "This week, Yu Wen of Zhou Kingdom Yong, he is really a powerful character. But..." Halfway through the speech, he noticed that Chang Gong's expression seemed to be in a trance for a moment, so he didn't continue. Chang Gong's mind quickly flashed through the fragments that seemed to be fleeting, and finally fixed on the bloody scene under Jinyong City.There is a breeze blowing on the clear and open grassland, and the fresh leaves are fragrant in the wind.Time flows with the wind like this, without the slightest nostalgia. Those memories of the past, like petals, disappear in the spring season, and can never go back to the past.

Although I had a good time with him, and I was happy to have this friend, but she and him will always be on opposite sides. Last time in Yong Jin City, she let him go, which can be regarded as repaying him for saving him. From now on, if she meets him again on the battlefield, she will never show mercy. The only thing that worries her now is that he knows her secret.If one day he announces this secret to the world, if one day people know that King Lanling is a woman, the consequences will be unimaginable. "However, now is a good opportunity to get rid of him." Heng Jia's seemingly unintentional words moved her heart. Yes, if Yu Wenyong is excluded now, the state of Zhou will be in chaos, and if Yu Wenyong dies in Turkic, there will be chaos Intensify the conflict between Zhou State and Turks, and then Qi State can take advantage of the opportunity.

She obviously knew this truth, but for some reason, there was an inexplicable hesitation in her heart. "We thought of this, and Yu Wenyong must have thought of this too. I don't think it is easy to get close to him." She lowered her voice, "Besides, this is really not an aboveboard behavior." Heng Jia pursed his lips slightly, "I knew you would say that, Chang Gong, this is not a martial arts tournament, this is - war. The result is the most important thing, as for the means, it doesn't matter." Saying, He laughed again, "However, it's not surprising that Chang Gong would think that way."

Chang Gong thought for a while, "But maybe we can spy on the situation there." Heng Jia's eyes flashed, "Chang Gong, you must not act rashly." "Hang Jia, can you still not trust me?" She blinked, "Don't worry, I will never miss." "It doesn't seem like an aboveboard behavior, does it?" He chuckled. "What's the same? Inquiring about news is completely different from assassination." Chang Gong glanced at him unconvinced, then stood up abruptly, "I've already made up my mind. I'll go alone, Heng Jia, then you will Stay here and wait for news from me. This is a military order."

He knew Chang Gong's temperament, so he didn't say anything more.If it was before, he would naturally think that she would be able to escape unscathed, but now that there is an extra Yu Wenyong there, it makes him feel a little inexplicable uneasiness.He asked himself that he knew countless people, but for some reason, that man always made him feel elusive. The most frightening thing about that man was not cruelty, bloodthirsty, or cruelty. Rather—the kind that is repressed and surprisingly calm after all the hardships.It was like a sharp blade with a scabbard, quietly unsheathed when the opponent was defenseless, and killed the opponent with one blow.

Under the battlefield, Chang Gong is definitely not that man's opponent. One late night two days later. Taking advantage of the darkness, Chang Gong secretly sneaked near Turkic Khan's camp.Although the Turks strengthened their guards because of Yu Wenyong's arrival, it was not difficult for Chang Gong.Of course, if it's not because of a last resort, she doesn't like to do such sneaky things. The Turkic Khan's golden tent was brightly lit, and Ah Jing and a group of important ministers under him were discussing with Yu Wenyong the next plan to attack Qi. "Brother, why don't you and my two countries gather an army this winter, and attack Qi again while the Yellow River is frozen." Yu Wenyong smiled and looked at him deeply, "This time I will definitely not do it again." Repeat the same mistakes. Of course, I also hope that the big brother will not be like last time."

Although he understood that the other party was reminding him not to withdraw as quickly as last time, Ah Jing still laughed disapprovingly, "I said brother-in-law, you also saw what happened last time, when your army was all beaten by King Lanling Fuck off, you said that if I don't withdraw my troops, won't I lose my troops in vain?" Yu Wenyong's eyes dimmed, but the smile on his lips did not move at all, "Brother is right. So this time we have to think of a proper tactic and use all strategies." "Although this is said, looking around, neither we Turks nor your Great Zhou can find a general who can compete with Hu Luguang or King Lanling. No matter which emperor, if he can get his One is already like a tiger with wings added, but Qi has two all at once, which is really a headache." Lin Xiaoxian said suddenly, "Especially that King Lanling, every time he wears a mask and goes out to fight, the opponent has already been defeated by him. Taken by his aura, morale dropped by three points first." "If only one of them can be eliminated before the war begins." Ashinamuli, who was silent at the side, also said coldly, with an obvious hatred in his tone, "Na Lanling The king is stationed here now, maybe we can find a way to attack him. I don't believe we can't kill him!" As soon as he finished speaking, the tent suddenly became quiet, and a strange atmosphere flowed in the air. "If it is so easy to get rid of, then she is not the King of Lanling." Yu Wenyong broke the silence first. Mu Li noticed the fleeting contempt in Yu Wenyong's eyes, as if he took what he said just now as a joke.He couldn't help feeling angry, and then looked at Khan and Lin Xiaoxian, their expressions seemed to express the same meaning. He clenched his hand tightly, wave after wave of unspeakable anger came, burning his internal organs.The shame of being defeated by the King of Lanling many times and the anger of being despised now are intertwined, which makes him more determined to get rid of the King of Lanling. By whatever means. "However, Your Majesty, if we help you capture the Qi Kingdom...you..." Lin Xiaoxian hesitated to speak. Yu Wenyong curled his lips, "If Qi is conquered, all the treasures and beauties there will belong to my eldest brother. I will never treat my allies badly." "Okay, then what do you plan to do with those royal families?" Xiaoxian's voice suddenly changed. Yu Wenyong was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed, his gentle voice was mixed with a trace of cruelty that others could hardly detect, "Naturally—not one of them will be left behind." Hearing this sentence, Chang Gong's whole body stiffened for a moment, and a cold air burst from the bottom of his heart, and quickly spread to all limbs.Then, there is endless anger and uncontrollable killing intent. That is her country, her homeland, her people, a place she will not lose even if she dies!How could the homeland she was desperately trying to protect be trampled and plundered by others! At this moment, a group of patrolling Turkic soldiers came towards this direction, Chang Gong quickly calmed down his disturbed mood, and dodged to hide by a nearby tent.Unexpectedly, the curtain of the tent was lifted at this time, a maid was helping a noble lady to come out, and happened to collide with Chang Gong. The lady was obviously taken aback when she saw Chang Gong, and blurted out, "It's you?" Chang Gong also recognized that this noble lady was a Turkic princess, the current Queen of Zhou, couldn't help touching her face in a little surprise, it was strange, she was clearly covering her face, so could she also recognize it?But there was no time for her to think about it now, because the maid beside the queen was already screaming. Several people in Khan's golden tent rushed out immediately, Chang Gong knew something was wrong, put his hand on his lips and blew a crisp whistle, just as the whistle sounded, a white horse was galloping towards him like an arrow, she He stepped back quickly, jumped onto the horse's back lightly and deftly, and quickly escaped into the night. I don't know how long I ran, but I finally ran out of the Turkic territory.Just as she was reining in her horse to rest, suddenly there was another sound of hoofbeats from behind her.Chang Gong's heart tightened, and when he heard that there was only one rider, he drew out his sword nonchalantly.If a person dares to catch up with him, he is here to die! The man on horseback got closer and closer...and finally stopped in front of her.Chang Gong took a closer look through the moonlight and was slightly startled, how could it be Yu Wenyong? The land was silent, and the surrounding air condensed in an instant, and even the wind dared not make any movement. The short moment seemed as long as centuries. The two people who faced each other silently seemed to be calm in the face of the changing color of the world. The unknown gully is like a river between them.It is crystal clear and unfathomable. The air stained by the cold rain the night before was still slightly humid, and the moonlight had an extremely light color and temperature. Yu Wenyong looked at the woman in front of him quietly, with mixed feelings, and thousands of words came to his heart, but he didn't know where to start , his eyes seemed to have passed through the past, and he was in a daze. After a long time, he whispered: "Chang Gong, these years... are you okay?" Chang Gong was taken aback, touched his mask unconsciously, and blurted out, "Do you recognize this look?" For a moment, endless astringency poured into his heart, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the past surged like a tide. "The way you whistle has not changed." In the minds of the two of them, the scene of galloping against the wind on the grassland together on that starry night emerged at the same time. Because of the warmth and dreams, at that moment they could still smile slowly and unscrupulously. Little do they know that the situation is changing, and each other's true identities are enemies who must not have any intersection. Chang Gong saw the slight sadness in his eyes, and felt a little bitterness in his heart, and was silent for a while.Everything has passed for many years, and it is already a past that cannot be farther away. It has passed and is gone. "Chang Gong, this position is more unsuitable for you than being a spy." There was a complicated look in his eyes, "Why don't you restore your original identity?" When Chang Gong heard this sentence, Chang Gong's heart trembled, and suddenly he remembered what he said in the tent just now, a burst of anger spontaneously arose, completely obliterating the original bit of bitterness and sense of loss. "I am the King of Lanling, and this will never change." She stared at him with burning eyes, "As long as you have me, you will never get Qi, unless you step over my dead body!!" His expression changed slightly, his gaze flashed like a sharp sword, and his brilliance was overwhelming, "Gao Changgong, I am going to decide this world." Chang Gong's pupils shrank, his killing intent suddenly arose, and he drew out his sword with a swipe, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless!" He unhurriedly showed a strange smile, "Gao Changgong, if you really think so, why did you show mercy under Jinyong City in Luoyang? Could it be because of that daughter-in-law?" Chang Gong was furious, and was about to make a move, when she heard the sound of horseshoes not far away, she looked sideways, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart, isn't that handsome man in white clothes is Heng Jia? At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from the direction of the Turks, and it sounded like dozens of horsemen and horses were chasing them. "Chang Gong, it's time to go back." Heng Jia didn't even look at Yu Wenyong, looking at Chang Gong's eyes with a calm and gentle luster. Chang Gong nodded, restraining his killing intent.She already understood what Hanga meant, and now was not the time to act recklessly.In the long-term life together, a natural tacit understanding has obviously been formed between the two. In Yu Wenyong's eyes, such a tacit understanding is particularly dazzling.For a moment, my heart was sore and hot, and I couldn't tell what it was like, as if I was struggling in the boundless chaos, and my whole body was powerless.The ice-cold jealousy in his chest gradually surged up and grew slowly... bit by bit submerged his calmness... "Chang Gong," he suddenly called her in a low voice, "I will never forget the kiss by the Crescent Lake that night." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Chang Gong's face turned pale in an instant as he expected, and also, under the moonlight, the cold man in white clothes seemed to be frozen there, and uncontrollable anger dissipated from the man Open, as if to freeze everything. "Daughter-in-law, I will take care of you." He smiled with satisfaction and turned his horse's head. "Wait a minute." Chang Gong recovered from the shock, and didn't dare to look at Heng Jia's face. He just raised his knife, cut off a piece of sleeve, and threw it on the ground. "Miluo, you saved me once, and I let you go. We have no debts to each other. Today I am here to cut off my righteousness. From then on, you and I will be strangers," her black pupils were like the eyes of night. It is as deep and condensed as the sea, and the breath he spits out is like a cold snake sliding across the skin, which makes people tremble, "Next time we meet, I will never show mercy." Yu Wenyong didn't say anything, just smiled and rode away. The scenery on both sides of the road kept retreating, but his heart was empty and hopeless, as if every beat was hitting the spiked road. On the needle felt, there was a crushing, numb pain. From now on, that person—is really an enemy. Seeing him leaving, Chang Gong looked at Heng Jia in fear, his face was terrifying as if he was about to kill someone, even though he was separated by a distance, she could still feel the continuous anger. Never seen—Hanga with this expression. "Heng Jia..." she called out cautiously, only to see Heng Jia glanced at her coldly, his eyes were as sharp as ice blades, which made her tremble all over, and stammered, "I, let's hurry up Let's go back!" As he said that, he didn't dare to look at him any more, and immediately rode away hastily. What happened to her?Why, why are you so afraid that he knows...the damn Yu Wenyong, why did you mention that matter in front of Heng Jia!Why do you call her daughter-in-law!Now Heng Jia must have guessed that his identity was exposed... It's over...the fox is pissed, and the consequences are dire.
