Queen Flower - Chapter 263

After some tossing, the five sat down to discuss matters.

“Tell you the good news, Murong Chun is dead.” Xiao Yan said.

Yan Zhan was slightly startled, with an inexplicable expression on his face, and lowered his head.

Jiang Lan sighed, and reached out and patted Yan Zhan’s shoulder as a sign of comfort. For the current Zunguo, Murong Chun’s death is indeed good news.

“How did he die?” Jiang Lan asked.

Yan Zhan looked up at him.

Xiao Yan waved his hand, “The specific situation is unknown, and we will not know until the scouts from Xijing return, but in any case, we are missing a formidable enemy.”

Jiang Lan nodded, isn’t that her purpose? Xia Henqiu went deep into the tiger’s den alone for this very reason.

“So, Xia Henqiu is coming back.” Jiang Lan was very happy with a smile on his face.

“You are so happy when he wants to come back? I don’t know who has been putting on the air.” Chu Qingcheng gave her a sideways look, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his phoenix eyes. Although he didn’t say it on the surface, he couldn’t let it go in his heart. In fact, the relationship between the two was not very harmonious.

Jiang Lan didn’t know how to answer for a while, but Murong Xiling interjected at the right time, “He is a hero, come back and we will celebrate him.” His eyes swept over her, causing her to feel a sense of oppression.

At that time, she was the one who wanted to distance herself from Xia Henqiu, but she changed after one night. What did these men think? Jiang Lan is really speechless. I really don’t know how Shangguanhong settled her husband-in-law. She, Jiang Lan, has no skill in this area. Look at these men, when she didn’t dump them before, she was very gentle, but now she would show her face every time she wanted to. She had to stab her for a long time when she said a word. Could they be her father?

Hmph, she is not easy to bully.

That night, when Murong Xiling went to see her. Cheng Chen euphemistically said that the queen was physically tired and needed to rest, without seeing anyone.

On the second day and the third day, Xiao Yan and Chu Qingcheng ate behind closed doors one after another, for the same reason, they worked too hard and needed to be recuperated.

All three cast their resentful eyes on Yan Zhan. Fortunately, Yan Zhan is in the barracks every day.

Cheng Chen was very happy and didn’t care about offending people at all, even Xiao Yan treated him equally. Wish they were locked outside the door every night, although he could only stay outside, he was already very satisfied.

Soon the people from Xijing Xiahenqiu came back. Jiang Lan saw him immediately, and everyone except Yan Zhan was by her side.

The man looked haggard, running all the way, exhausted, and knelt on the ground to report the military situation to her. “Master Xia bought a lot of officials, so Murong Jian was even more suspicious of Murong Chun. He took his military power and left him idle at home. Murong Chun was seriously ill. It coincided with the fall of Fengcheng, and General Yan defeated the enemy. At this time, General Yan The relationship with Murong Chun also spread to Murong Jian’s ears, Murong Jian’s suspicion broke out completely, and he finally gave him the wine.”

Jiang Lan thought of Yan Zhan. I sighed in my heart, it was really wrong to die, Xia Henqiu really lived up to expectations.

“When will Xia Xiang be back?” she asked.

The man shuddered suddenly, lowered his head to the ground, and said tremblingly, “Before Murong Chun died, he sent his black-clothed corpsmen to bloodbath the houses of many officials, all of whom were unconscious officials under Murong Jian. Including… Also includes……”

He couldn’t continue, Jiang Lan stood up abruptly, and said sharply: “Say, what else is there?”

The man closed his eyes and said, “Including Master Xia.”

Jiang Lan was furious, kicked him to the ground, and said tremblingly, “Then why did you come back?”

Blood spilled from the corner of the man’s mouth, he got up and knelt and said, “Only the villain has come back alive, the rest are dead, the villain will come back to report, but it is up to Your Majesty to deal with it.”

Jiang Lan covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her fingers.

Murong Xiling took her in his arms, she burst into tears, and the tears soaked his clothes.

Xiao Yan pointed at the man on the ground and said, “You saw him being killed with your own eyes?”

“Those people in black are very ruthless. The villain saw with his own eyes that Master Xia was stabbed in the back, and he must not survive.” The man said while crying.

“Where’s his body? You brought it back?” Chu Qingcheng’s face was very pale, and his lips were tightly pressed.

The man shook his head and kowtowed: “No, the villain barely crawled out. The villain is not afraid of death, the villain just wants to come back and return to his life. Now that the task is completed, please give the villain a death.”

Jiang Lan was trembling all over, unable to say a word, Murong Xiling waved his hand, “It’s not your fault, you are also loyal to your duty, let’s go.”

He touched Jiang Lan’s head, “Don’t cry, without his body, you can’t say he is dead, you have to have confidence in him.”

“Really?” Jiang Lan raised her red eyes and looked around.

Xiao Yan nodded firmly, “Yes, you can see that I didn’t die from such a serious injury that day, he must still be alive.” He knew in his heart that he didn’t die because he was lucky to meet her, otherwise he would have died long ago .

But Jiang Lan believed it, “You’re right, you must still be alive.” She stood up straight, full of confidence, “Look at how stupid I am to believe it.”

Chu Qingcheng wiped away her tears with her sleeves, her phoenix eyes were full of pity, she was just deceiving herself, but he didn’t want to see her cry, she didn’t want to see her heartbroken, so Xia Henqiu had better not die, otherwise She will never be happy in her life.

Xia Henqiu didn’t come back, Jiang Lan kept waiting, day after day, but there was no news of him anymore.

She was languid, but she firmly believed that he was still alive. During the day, everything was as usual. Only at night, when she was alone, could she not hide the sadness on her face.

The men couldn’t comfort her, her grief was all in her heart, she believed that he was still alive, but she always doubted.

Xiao Chengchen couldn’t bear to see it, “Sister, can’t I replace him?”

Jiang Lan patted him on the shoulder, “You’re still a child. Children don’t know about adults, so be obedient.”

Cheng Chen was angry and helpless. How could he say that he was a child in her eyes and could never be changed, but he has grown up, and one day he will be able to stand by her side to protect her, one day.

In any case, the war will continue, to drive Murong Jian from the throne of the emperor, Jiang Lan does not know whether he wants to avenge Xia Henqiu, or to go home, but everything must come to an end.

She wanted to have a clear conscience.

The all-out war finally kicked off. The troops were divided into three routes. Yan Zhan continued to take the middle route to deal with the main force. Liu Chang and Jiang Lan marched together on the two flanks. Chu Qingcheng and Murong Xiling guarded the rear. Both are consolidated.

Without Murong Chun, Murong Jian was vulnerable, Jiang Lan and Xiao Yan went north all the way, and in a few months, how soon would they reach Xijing City.

It’s just that Xia Henqiu still hasn’t come back.
