092 Lonely
Xue Xijian's long sword was in his hand, and he was about to penetrate Shangguan Mo's chest with a sword. With the spirit of his wife and children in heaven, he suddenly heard a woman's delicate voice: "Don't kill my father!"
On the battlefield of swords and shadows, there were figures of men's angry horses and armor everywhere, and suddenly the woman's voice sounded, which surprised everyone.
Xue Xijian took back the blade of his sword and looked back. He saw that the woman in a soldier's clothes had long hair scattered and stumbled towards him.
That man is none other than the woman who has saved his life several times. She is also Shangguan Susu, the only daughter of Shangguan Mo.
"Your Highness, you have killed my second uncle, third uncle and several brothers. Please forgive my father for the sake of Su Su's help in the past!" Shangguan Susu knelt at his feet and couldn't help kowtowing. Before long, his forehead swelled up.
"Shangguan girl, this is a matter between men. You don't have to ask." Xue Xijian turned his face sideways and did not respond.
"I know that my father is deeply guilty. He killed your entourage, killed your wife and children, causing you to lose the throne and almost die." Shangguan Susu's eyes were full of tears, "Your Highness, no matter how bad my father is, he is also the father who gave birth to me and raised me. There is a saying that 'the father pays the debt to the son'. I am willing to die for my father!"
"Miss Shangguan, I thank you for your help several times, but your father's sins have nothing to do with it." Xue Xijian shook his head.
"Your Highness, please..." Shangguan Susu smiled sadly, suddenly stood up straight, and hit the sword held by Xue Xijian!
The long sword pierced her body, and the blood splashed everywhere!
"No, Susu..." Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Shangguan Mo's eyes.
"Miss Shangguan, what's wrong with you?" Xue Xijian leaned over to hold her and held her body. Her wound was bleeding, and the injury was at this point. It seemed that she couldn't survive.
"Your Highness... Do you still remember that you have been in the palace for a year?" A sweet smile appeared on the corners of Shangguan Susu's mouth, "At that time, Susu hugged a beautiful woman, and His Highness pretended to be a waiter and watched the bustle. In fact, at that time, Susu knew the identity of His Highness..."
"Miss Shangguan..." He didn't know what she was going to express, and he was speechless for a moment.
Shangguan Susu continued to smile, and her voice gradually lowered: "Your Highness wore bright yellow shoes that day... At the first sight of Your Highness, she handed over her heart to Your Highness... Unfortunately, Your Highness, for my father's sake, from the beginning, he didn't want to let Susu choose..."
"I'm sorry..." A strong apology appeared in Xue Xijian's eyes. At that time, he was just on a whim, and he didn't expect that he would misunderstand an innocent woman's life.
"Now, Su Su is going to die. Please Your Highness, please Your Highness..." She was unable to finish her words and only looked at her father as much as she could.
Her hand hung down gently, with a smile on her mouth. Although this is the only time in her life, she lies in the arms of her beloved. In his arms, before she could finish her last sentence, she left the world where she had only lived for more than ten years with a sweet and sad mood.
Murong Xueyan didn't know when she appeared and stood not far away from Xue Xijian. After hearing that the sound of killing stopped, she quietly came out of the camp. As soon as she arrived at the battlefield, she saw the scene of Shangguan Susu's death on behalf of her father.
As she had predicted, this man who gave his heart to a man who did not love himself and was his father was destined to face a miserable end.
Murong Xueyan shook her head and sighed for a woman's infatuation without complaint or regret.
Suddenly, Shangguan Mo groped on the ground, as if he was looking for something. Murong Xueyan saw that he probably intended to hurt Xue Xijian from behind when he was unprepared, and hurriedly reminded him, "Your Highness, be careful!"
At the same time, Qin Huan had drawn his bow. As soon as Murong Xueyan's voice fell, the long arrow had penetrated Shangguan Mo's throat. Shangguan Mo couldn't say anything, so he died.
The commander died, and the rest of the soldiers were scattered, and all of them surrendered Xue Xijian.
On the battlefield after the fierce battle, the corpses were everywhere and the blood flowed into a river.
Murong Xueyan stood beside Xue Xijian, which was shocking. She only saw such a picture on TV, but this time, she really saw it with her own eyes. One life, one person, what is it on the battlefield? As the saying goes, these dead soldiers are the price of the generals who make great achievements.
"Gone back to Beijing!" Xue Xijian held down the long sword and ordered in a long voice.
2
All 30,000 troops could not enter the city. Xue Xijian only brought thousands of his own soldiers and all the generals into Beijing and enveloped the palace.
After a stormy mutiny, Xue Xiyan, the new emperor supported by Shangguan Mo, was forced to surrender the throne to the immortal Xue Xijian.
Xue Xijian killed the Shangguan Mo family, and sent someone to take Lu Yu, the county magistrate of Linjiang County, and his master Mao Wei, who framed him that day, back to the capital for interrogation. Lu Yu confessed to the fact that he was instructed by Shangguan Mo to buy Hong Wei, the leader of Feihuzhai, and annihilate the followers around Xue Xijian with the power of Feihuzhai. Therefore, Xue Xijian put Lu Yu and Mao Weizheng. After the law, he sent an army to conquer Feihu Village.
He has regained his power in his hand, and once he grasps it, he can use it with ease. Murong Xueyan still followed him, but she felt that the people in front of her were getting more and more strange. Murong Xueyan didn't say anything about his thunderous means. There are too many people who have sacrificed in order to regain the position that originally belonged to him. The soldiers who died on the battlefield, Shangguan Susu, who died innocently, and the people who were implicated and killed by mistake on the way to raise troops...
Murong Xueyan lived in the magnificent and magnificent palace, but she missed the days when she first met Xue Xijian.
At that time, he was still a man with nothing. At that time, there was a pure friendship between them.
Standing in the high attic and looking into the distance, she suddenly didn't know where to go.
Maybe it's time to leave.
In the summer evening, the warm wind blows gently, the clear sky is like washing, and the veins are oblique. She thought, if she could become a bird, how good it would be. She could fly wherever she wanted, free and unrestrained.
"Xueyan, I finally did it." A thick voice sounded from behind.
Murong Xueyan reacted incessantly and hurriedly bowed down: "See the emperor."
Three days ago, Xue Xijian ascended the throne. From then on, he reigned in the world and sat in the country. Like countless emperors, be a lonely person and call yourself "I". But he deliberately called himself "I" every time he got along with her.
She naturally understood that he didn't want them to get farther and farther.
"Xueyan, I'm still used to hearing you call me big brother." A trace of disappointment flashed in Xue Xijian's eyes.
"Your Majesty, Xueyan told you at the beginning that the higher a person's position, the more things he will lose. The so-called 'the height is too cold'. Murong Xueyan smiled gracefully.
"Is it cold in the high place?" He recalled her words carefully, which resonated with her.
The evening wind blew, making her temples messy, and the long scar on her forehead loomed.
Xue Xijian suddenly asked, "Xueyan, what do you want?"
"I... I just want to live the rest of my life safely." Murong Xueyan said, "The emperor can let me out of the palace and send a few bodyguards to protect me for life."
"You..." He didn't expect that she would make such a strange request. He was in a trance and said for a long time, "If only you could stay with me forever."
"The emperor is joking." Murong Xueyan smiled respectfully: "At the beginning, Xueyan would have funded the emperor with financial resources, just because Xueyan felt that the emperor had the talent to govern the country, and he would definitely benefit the people after taking the throne in the future, instead of thinking about anything else."
"But I..." Xue Xijian paused a little and wanted to say his thoughts directly, but he was afraid to scare her. He turned to smile and said, "I want to heal the scar on your forehead."
"That scar has been following me for several years. If it can be cured, it will be cured as soon as possible. Murong Xueyan smiled bitterly.
"I don't care. I want to post the imperial list and recruit famous doctors. I don't believe that there is no doctor in the whole world who can cure your scars." Xue Xijian is still stubborn.
This is a little stubborn, and the rare shadow of the past makes Murong Xueyan smile warmly.
