Chapter 378 Transaction Close
The white light was very fast. Mo Ziyao only felt that she came to the front with a flash. She couldn't avoid it at all, and a long sword was put on her neck.
"It's you again!" The woman with the sword recognized Mo Ziyao, but also aroused her murderous intention in an instant. And Mo Ziyao also recognized the person, who was Ruan Lingheng's personal guard, Qingyuan.
Mo Ziyao's back against the stone pillar is inevitable. She smiled bitterly. She was very lucky. Almost every time she met Qingyuan in such a situation, no wonder every time she wanted to kill herself with a sword.
The cold eyes of Qingyuan flashed, and the murderous intention was even more unconcealed. As soon as she turned her arm, she wanted to stab Mo Ziyao's body with a sword, but at this time, the door was opened from the inside, and Ruan Lingheng and Gu Yanmu appeared at the door.
Seeing this scene, Ruan Lingheng quickly stepped forward and shouted, " Stop!"
"Your Majesty!" Qingyuan looked a little flustered when she saw Ruan Lingheng coming out. She was about to say something, but she suddenly exclaimed. It turned out that at the moment when she was distracted, the folding fan in Gu Yanmu's hand had also touched her throat, as if as long as she moved, it would pierce her neck. The cold voice like death also sounded in Qingyuan's ear at the same time: "Do you dare to try it?"
"Put down the sword." Ruan Lingheng said in a low voice, and there was a faint anger in his words.
Qingyuan was not afraid of death, but she did not dare to disobey Ruan Lingheng's order. She knew that there was no chance to kill Mo Ziyao, so she had to grit her teeth and lowered her arm very unwillingly. When Gu Yanmu gave up, she looked back at Ruan Lingheng and didn't mean to explain. She jumped and disappeared.
Seeing that Qingyuan had left, Ruan Lingheng's eyes fell on Mo Ziyao and slowly said, "Aren't you looking for me?"
Mo Ziyao was slightly stunned and saw that Ruan Lingheng had turned around. She quickly said "Yes", then looked at Gu Yanmu and followed him in.
"Zier..." Gu Yanmu shouted in the back and saw that Mo Ziyao did not look back and only followed Ruan Lingheng into the room. He hesitated, sighed, went forward to close the door, and then turned away.
Mo Ziyao just went in and heard the sound of the door being closed. Looking up, he saw Ruan Lingheng's back to himself, such a familiar back, just like when he saw him in Bai Zhuyuan. But somehow, she couldn't help striding forward, stood in front of him, looking straight at him, and wanted to ask him what he wanted to do? But in the end, he just bit his lips tightly and couldn't say a word.
The two looked at each other and didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, Ruan Lingheng turned around, sat down on the chair beside the table, and motioned her to sit down. He smiled and said, "I know you came here. You have a lot to ask me, but how did you see me, but you can't say a word?" In the words, the meaning of ridiculing is obvious.
Mo Ziyao did not answer. At this moment, somehow, the moment when Ruan Lingheng hugged him and fell down the hillside, the faint smell, familiar taste and familiar feeling on the man's body flashed...
The feeling of protecting each other with her life makes her feel both close and confused. Suddenly, I saw Ruan Lingheng looking at himself with a pair of autumn water-like eyes. He couldn't help but turn his head, took a deep breath and said, "I just accidentally heard your conversation outside. I want to know if what my brother said is true?"
Ruan Lingheng nodded faintly, "Yes."
"So, in fact, the emperor's expedition is already a dead end?" When she said this, even her voice trembled.
She still remembers that when she was in Tianze Palace, the day Ruan Lingzheng let herself leave the palace, she swore to tell herself that everything would be solved. But why does all this show that it is just the beginning of a desperate situation? She doesn't want to think too much about many things.
Looking at Ruan Lingheng, he shook his head gently, stared at himself and opened his lips and said, "It depends on how you do it."
Mo Ziyao trembled and remembered what Li Wei said to him yesterday. He said that as long as he left Ruan Nanguo and did not go back in his lifetime, Ruan Lingheng would help Ruan Lingzheng defeat Yutan. A voice in the bottom of my heart said: No, no, no, even if I die, I will die with Ruan Lingzheng!
She looked at Ruan Lingheng and said word by word, "The emperor will not exchange his life for the short peace of Ruan Nanguo at no cost. And I, Mo Ziyao, would rather break the jade than complete the tiles!"
Ruan Lingheng's hand suddenly trembled and closed his eyes. After a long time, he said, "Ruan Lingzheng is so happy."
Mo Ziyao looked at him in a daze, but saw a slight smile on the corners of his mouth. Finally, she opened her eyes and whispered, "If you don't want to, how can I force you?"
He smiled and said, "Don't be busy refusing. I don't need you to return to Ruan Nanguo for the rest of your life. I just want you to promise me to stay with me for ten years. If you agree, I will send troops to help him solve the crisis.
Mo Ziyao moved her lips and was silent. If it's only ten years, maybe you can think about it. But he said, "It's a good deal, isn't it? Ten years, he can win the battle with Yutan, or I can personally contain Ruan Lingjun, so that his throne will not change hands, and I can even give him the military power in my hand. And before the war between the Song Dynasty and Xia Liao and the war spread here, he helped him annex some small countries around to protect himself in the war. How about it?" After saying that, he looked at Mo Ziyao with a smile and waited for her reply. That fixed look seemed to say that you can't refuse such a condition.
Mo Ziyao thought for a long time, and finally bit her lips and said, "If I promise you, should you also tell me why you must leave me by your side?"
Ruan Lingheng looked at her, looked dark, and sighed, "Do you remember what I said to you before you crossed?"
Mo Ziyao frowned and thought for a moment and shook her head. It's not that she doesn't remember, but that she doesn't know what he was referring to.
Ruan Lingheng did not embarrass her and said to himself, "At that time, you took the soul-eating bracelet. I told you not to wear it before the age of 25, and when you were 25 years old, it was the day of your life and death. And I calculated earlier that you must be unable to avoid this disaster, but because of the curse of three lives, I think maybe I can help you get through it. Maybe there is still a glimmer of life when we are together.
"My doom?" Mo Ziyao muttered in shock, "Twenty-five years old, twenty-five years old, no wonder..."
Although she only heard Ruan Lingheng say this, she believed it. Just because she was 25 years old, she was hit by lightning. If she hadn't taken her soul through here, she would have died. So if you live again, what kind of disaster will you face at the age of 25 here?
If Ruan Lingheng can really help the emperor win the war and help him expand his territory, then under the war between the Celestial Empire and Xia Liao, Ruan Nan Dynasty may not necessarily be destroyed.
Ten years is not long. Ruan Lingheng has helped him so much, but he has never asked him for anything. So this time he used such rich conditions in exchange, it seems that he really has no reason to refuse.
However, if you agree, it means that you haven't seen the emperor for ten years, and it's inevitably a little difficult to accept. Their child is about to be born for more than six months, but as the father of the child, he can't see the child's first appearance or let him name the child.
Thinking about this, she had a trace of regret in her heart and regretted why she came to southern Xinjiang.
Originally, she thought that whether she wanted Ruan Lingheng's action or not, at least she could return to the emperor, accompany him to the battlefield, or face death together. But in her heart, she was not allowed to do this. She wanted Ruan Lingzheng to live well and watch the child grow up safely.
Wait, go to the battlefield...
Mo Ziyao's eyes lit up and said to Ruan Lingheng, "I can promise you, but I have a condition."
Ruan Lingheng heard the words and raised his eyebrows, "What's the condition? You might as well say it."
"You give me an identity and let me go to the battlefield to fight against the emperor side by side. How? Anyway, if you want to contain any 'King Su', you can't get rid of it. Leave it to me to lead the troops to assist the emperor.
Ruan Lingheng heard the words, but suddenly laughed: "I have long guessed that you won't stay here obediently. I will definitely go to the battlefield to see Ruan Lingzheng defeat you in the country before I feel at ease. Therefore, I have arranged an identity for you to fight side by side with him.
"Really?" Mo Ziyao heard that since he had already arranged for herself, she couldn't help standing up from the chair excitedly for fear that Ruan Lingheng was lying to her.
Ruan Lingheng smiled strangely: "But you have to understand that once you leave southern Xinjiang, you will be out of my protection. I can give you all the soldiers and horses, but it's up to you whether you have the ability to help Ruan Lingzheng win this battle. Also, the confrontation between the two armies is not a joke. You'd better think about it carefully.
"No, I've already thought about it. That's it." Mo Ziyao said confidently and stretched out her palm, "Let's high-five and swear."
Ruan Lingheng was stunned, then stretched out his palm and slapped her with a smile and said, "Don't be happy too early. The identity I arranged for you is a military division of the mud country, the righteous sister of Volmodi. Do you have the courage to go to find him?"
What, mud?
Mo Ziyao was stunned. How could she be muddy?
Ruan Lingheng continued as if he hadn't seen her surprised expression and said, "It takes four days to go from here to the mud. And the soldiers and horses I mentioned are naturally the people of Fumo Zheyu. As you know, since I want to stop Ruan Lingjun from attacking the imperial capital, I have to keep my people to deal with him.
Mo Ziyao thought for a moment and seemed to figure out something and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the princes and princes of the Celestial Empire should have learned about the imminent war between the Celestial Empire and Liaoxia. They will not sit back and wait for death, so they all took action to annex the small power on the march. But you, because people in this world know history, you have been working for the war for a long time. That Fumo Zheyu should have been under your command, right?
Ruan Lingheng looked at Mo Ziyao with appreciation and nodded undeniably. The guess was confirmed, but Mo Ziyao frowned, "But I learned from your conversation with your brother that you are not the only one who seems to like this area? Who is King Su in your mouth?
