Empress’ Conquest - C262 Misunderstanding Resolution
After what Leng Ao Tian said, everyone’s eyes turned to Mo Yan!
“Your majesty, what about south and Tang Xue? I didn’t have the time to reminisce with him earlier, so this time, I must drink with him for three days and three nights! ” Xia Hou Ming let out a sigh of relief. As long as Leng Ao Tian didn’t pursue the matter, then heading south would be safe!
“That’s right!” He sure is capable of producing an antidote with the scattered cartilage. We really want to consult him! ” Just now, Xia Hou Mingxuan had used the green bamboo tube the size of a finger to shake it in front of his nose, allowing him to move freely! According to what he knew, there was no antidote for Cartilage Powder!
“That’s right!” Where is General Helian? This old official also wants to know how he was able to place the trap mechanism within the city! “I really want to discuss it with him …” Although Zheng Kui was an old general, he still spoke humbly!
“He … “I’m leaving …” Mo Yan’s eyes dimmed, and he placed the letter in his hand into Leng Ao Tian’s hands! He then turned to look at Xia Hou Ming Xuan!
“Ming Xuan …” As for the matter of the cartilage powder, he made it very clear that it was not the antidote. I believe … ” Before Mo Yan could finish, Xia Hou Ming Xuan felt as if his body had suddenly gone through a huge battle and was extremely exhausted. Not only that, it was extremely difficult for him to even stand firm!
The next second, as Mo Yan expected, Xia Hou Ming fell to the ground, unable to wake up!
“Ming…” General Xia Hou? “General Xia Hou?” To the side, Yin Yuerong became flustered when she saw this. She hurriedly got up with the help of Chu Jian!
“This… “What’s going on?” Yin Yuerong looked at Mo Yan!
“Everyone, don’t panic. He’s just too tired, let him sleep comfortably for three days, when he gets up, I guarantee that he’s still alive and kicking! “There was no antidote for the cartilage powder to begin with, and inside the green bamboo tube is just another type of knockout drug, which can only temporarily prevent people from being affected by the cartilage powder. Once the effect of the cartilage powder disappears, his physical strength will be forcefully exhausted from the exercise just now, just like now!” Mo Yan looked at the sleeping Xia Hou Mingxuan on the ground and couldn’t help but to let out a faint smile!
“That means …” Chu Jian, Ye Hen and Chasing Wind all looked at each other in dismay. Before they could turn around, they were all unconscious on the ground!
“Don’t worry, they’re fine!” Mo Yan saw the worry in Leng Ao Tian’s eyes and calmly said!
“Someone come!” Bring them down and settle them down! ” Seeing Xia Hou Ming Xuan and Chu Jian’s group being carried off, Leng Ao Tian could finally relax a little! He then looked at Mo Yan.
Although Leng Ao Tian did not say anything, Mo Yan could tell that he was asking himself why he wanted such a good Marshal to leave!
“He left without saying goodbye… I don’t have a chance to ask you to stay… However, if he really chooses to wander the world in front of me, I won’t reject him. Like the letter said, Helian Xiangnan is a righteous and loyal person. And all these years, he had been following Li Aoyu and doing a lot of things that violated his conscience! Even if the misunderstanding was resolved, there would still be a shadow in his heart! I understand him. Since he is unable to face all of this, I might as well let him leave and live the life that I’ve wanted to live! ” Mo Yan looked through the door of the antechamber in the direction of Big Jing. He believed that the first stop in the southern direction of Helian was Big Jing!
“The one who says it doesn’t have any intention, but the person who listens has their own heart.” Even if the misunderstanding is solved, there will still be a shadow in his heart … ” Isn’t this me?! He thought about the past seven years he had spent with Xu Bixuan and how he had not done anything to become her husband. He thought about how he had barely done anything to be her husband and how he had almost forced her and Xu Bixuan into dire straits because of the incident with Little Snow, and even though the misunderstanding had been resolved, he still couldn’t wipe away that feeling of guilt in his heart.
“Yeah …” “Even the warriors of the Great Jing would not accept him …” Leng Ao Tian casually said.
How could that be? It is understandable that there are some injuries on the battlefield. To me, and to the warriors of the Great Jing, Helian Xiang is forever the best general since the establishment of the Great Jing! “He might have been at fault, but it can’t cover up his achievements. No one has ever done it before, it’s just that he thinks too highly of himself …” Mo Yan pursed his lips, feeling a tinge of regret for Helian Nan’s departure.
“Ugh …” “Is that so …” Leng Ao Tian’s eyes flashed. Was he overestimating her? Bi Xuan didn’t care about it anymore? Really?!
“Oh right, I want to see someone called Meng Ji!” Mo Yan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said!
“Alright!” Leng Ao Tian had also seen Helian Nan’s calligraphy piece and naturally knew Mo Yan’s motive!
“General Zheng!” Get someone to bring Meng Ji here! ” Leng Aotian turned his gaze to Zheng Kui and shot a glance at Xu Bixuan, who was standing to the side. His clear eyes seemed to have lost all of their previous coldness … Bi Xuan …
“Yes sir!” Zheng Kui accepted the order and approximately half an hour after they left, they brought Meng Ji to the front hall!
Meng Ji knew that even if he opened the city gate, he would inevitably die, but still, even if he did not die, Li Ao Yu would not let him go. He might as well clean up, at least he could protect the White Tiger, he had never seen such a powerful leader in his life! Die for him! It was worth it.
After Meng Ji was escorted into the antechamber, he immediately saw Leng Ao Tian! He knew that he had met Leng Ao Tian when he was sealed in the capital. However, things had changed and he had somehow changed his master!
“Meng Ji! Do you know your crime? ” The low voice carried a sliver of coldness. Leng AoTian’s expression was solemn, and when his eyes flashed past Meng Ji, he sighed. Since the start of the battle, he was the first defender to voluntarily open the city gate! Although it was not voluntary! Could it be that he had deep grievances during his reign? Or should the military system of Dashu be reformed?! According to Yuerong, besides looking at the military talismans, the Southern Yue soldiers also had to look at the emperor’s personal dragon pendant! Once he returned to the Imperial Palace, he must change this system!
“Meng Ji …” “I don’t know …” With these words, Leng Ao Tian couldn’t help but frown!
“Meng Ji knows that a great change has occurred in the middle of the dynasty, Dragon Displacement Lord. For the Emperor, this is a great calamity, but this humble subject also knows that the person sitting on the Dragon Throne today has received Your Majesty’s decree, and thus, as his subject, we know that it is not true, but as soldiers, we only recognize the military decree. As long as the military decree is in the hands of someone, we will obey them. Even though I know you are the master of justice, I still have to fulfill my duty as a soldier! Persisting to the end! ” Meng Ji predicted that he would definitely not be able to avoid death, so he might as well say the words in his heart out loud to his satisfaction!
“Really?” Then in the end, why did you open the gates wide to welcome us in? Don’t tell me that’s your plan, you want to invite us into your trap?! ” Leng Ao Tian squinted his eyes. He had to admire Meng Ji’s courage! Naturally, he had also heard everything he said! He had originally intended to deal with those so-called generals after returning to the throne. Now that he thought about it, he had wronged them …
“I… I did it for… To… For the sake of happiness and death! Your majesty! “Since I’ve already opened the gates for you, you can generously reward me with a single slash!” Meng Ji shook his head, intending to keep his mouth shut. If the truth was revealed, no matter how secretive it was, it would spread to Li Ao Yu’s ears. Since he decided to carry it all on White Tiger’s behalf, he might as well bear it all!
Leng AoTian opened his mouth to speak, but Mo Yan beat him to it.
“You want to protect the White Tiger’s life? Is that right! When you knew that the White Tiger was going to betray Li Ao Yu, you might as well open the city gates first and let all the soldiers know that it was you who betrayed Danzhou! Betrayal of Li Ao Yu, and everyone would turn their gaze towards you, and not only that, it would also explain why those traps did not activate at the best time! It’s all because of you! Right?! ” There was a trace of admiration in his clear eyes. Mo Yan looked at Meng Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, and liked him more and more!
“You … What nonsense are you spouting! “Who is this White Tiger to me?!” He’s always yelling at me! Why am I even giving up my life to help him! “Don’t set him up!” Meng Ji was shocked. He looked at the person in front of him. He recognized him. This was the ‘assassin’ who had just barged into the front hall. From the looks of it, he was an aloof and arrogant lobbyist!
“I’m framing? What’s the point of framing a prisoner on death row? ” Mo Yan pursed his lips and laughed!
“This is Emperor Jing, you can’t be unreasonable!” Leng Ao Tian scolded him harshly!
“Proud Sky!” It’s nothing! I like people with tempers like this one! If you don’t mind, I’m willing to take it back to help you discipline it, okay? ” Mo Yan’s eyes turned slightly. The way he looked at Meng Ji was getting weirder and weirder!
“No …” No way … I just want to die… “You don’t need to run so far to execute it …” Meng Ji looked at Mo Yan with a trembling gaze and choked. From Mo Yan’s eyes, he seemed to have a very strong feeling! That’s right, it was better to die than to live!
“Of course! In terms of emotion and reason, in terms of public and private, I will fulfill this request of yours! Someone! If we escort Meng Ji into the carriage, then we’ll send him to the Redbud in the day! ” As soon as Leng Ao Tian finished his words, he was stopped by Mo Yan!
“There’s no need for that. It’s time for me to head back to the Redbud!” As soon as he said that, Leng Ao Tian couldn’t help but frown, his heart felt sour. Mo Yan came this time to work hard for his own matters, and he was even in danger. He felt guilty for leaving just like that!
“Why are you leaving in such a hurry?!” “We …” Leng Ao Tian wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by Mo Yan!
“Proud Sky!” I believe that you will not let Li Ao Yu occupy the nest in Jiu City for too long, until the day you succeed, I will come back! At that time, if you don’t entertain me unrestrainedly, I will definitely find trouble with you, haha! Also. Tell Mingxuan that I’ll be waiting for his triumphant return at the Redbud … Keep an eye on this great general for me … Alright! “Farewell!” After a hearty laugh, Mo Yan took Meng Ji and left Dingzhou!
At this moment, he still didn’t know that Helian’s recommendation to the south was a treasure. In the future, Meng Ji would naturally become a renowned General Chang Sheng …
The news of Dingzhou’s fall had reached the capital early the next morning!
“Say that again!” Li Ao Yu’s eyes were wide open as he looked at the guard who was trembling and kneeling on the ground in disbelief! How could he fall? Victory was still in his grasp two days ago, so how could this turn the tables?! Impossible! Impossible!
“Return… “Return to the emperor, send an urgent message, and the prefecture will fall …” The guard raised the letter above his head and stared at the ground, not daring to look up in the slightest!
Li Ao Yu’s eyes were like a field of white, he quickly walked to the front of the guard, pulled the writing paper in his hand, and unfolded it, his originally cold eyes became more and more cold!
“Note: Reporting to Your Majesty, Dingzhou was lost yesterday at noon. The reason for this is that the original Dingzhou guard, General Meng Ji, turned his back on the enemy and did not turn on the mechanism to activate the trap during the attack. Then, the city gates were opened wide to welcome the enemy into the city! The current Marshal, White Tiger, was nowhere to be seen! Seeing that the Great Jing Emperor Mo Yan had already brought Meng Ji back to the Great Jing, the people of Leng Ao Tian and the Gan gathered in Dingzhou, there was no further movement, and just like before, Xu Bixuan had followed the enemy and showed no signs of leaving!
Heaven’s Mandate ”
His trembling hands tightly gripped the note in his hands, Li Ao Yu bit his lips, the anger in his eyes was like a venomous snake that was furiously devouring flames, staring at the words “Mo Yan has taken Meng Ji away”!
Meng Ji turning his back on us is undoubtedly showing his sincerity towards Leng AoTian. It has nothing to do with Mo Yan at all!” How could he possibly take away a general of Great Shu that had nothing to do with him!? There was only one reason! It was the White Tiger! Meng Ji had surrendered?! If Meng Ji had chosen to surrender, he wouldn’t have waited until now! And it was even under the condition that Dingzhou was guaranteed to win! He Lian headed south! Are you thinking of old times!? The moment old master comes, you will pounce on him like a dog, disregarding the fact that you and I have been master and servant for ten years! It’s fine, but you still sent Dingzhou away with your hands folded in front of your chest!? “” I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … I … You think I wouldn’t have guessed it was you, using Meng Ji as a cover! You are underestimating me, Li Ao Yu! White Tiger! I swear, no matter where you go, I will let you know that there is only one ending for betraying me! He would die a horrible death!
A dark light flashed in his eyes. His heart was cold to the bone at this moment. Anyone who had followed him for ten years would betray him. Who else could he trust in this world?! No one can be trusted… No one is trustworthy…
