But no matter what, Qingyun can always sleep peacefully for the night.
I don't know which palace came from the faint sound of silk and bamboo. Since Qingyun left the Yuncheng Palace, he hasn't heard such a sound for a long time.
After the 15th day of August, Huo Jingyun never slept soundly.
When the hidden guard he sent came back and said that the plan had failed, he understood that he and Sima Hui must have an end.
There was no lamp in Gu Huaxuan, and Yang Qing stood quietly outside the door in the darkness.
A slender figure sat quietly in the shadows, and he had been sitting there alone for two hours. The ever-burning lights in the yard outside cast a faint halo through the windows.
On the small table next to it, the cup was half tilted, and the wine was overflowing.
He never liked drinking, but now, he is drinking alone. There is no delicious food, no lover, no silk and bamboo, and no bosom friend.
He has never been drunk since he grew up, and now he has drunk two altars alone, and he is still not drunk.
Yes, he was never drunk, he was sober all the time, soberly saw his sinking and sinking.
Staying in the dark, he could see the maids and servants passing by outside, and even Yang Qing's anxious face.
He remembered that many years ago, in the back mountain of Liuhe Mountain, the master punished him for his playfulness and made him stand upside down against a big tree. It was very dark and mosquitoes were circling around. He was afraid. Later, Sima Hui came, and he said nothing Don't say anything, just stay with him all the time.
Seeing his senior brother there, he immediately felt at ease. He was actually only a year older than himself.
At that time, he thought that he would always be with his senior brother.
Time flies by, and the years are like ruthless hands, easily drowning their memories and vows.
When I grow up, I have so many desires and needs. Things that felt very happy at that time are no longer needed when I grow up.
Sima Hui was wiser than himself. He was assassinated in Daxing but did not ask him for help. He must have realized who was going to kill him.
Originally, he thought that if Sima Hui died, he would send someone to Nanzhao Kingdom to help him take care of his funeral and assist Nanzhao Kingdom with daily affairs.
If Sima Hui is not dead, if he returns to Nanzhao Kingdom, what should he do to him? Huo Jingyun didn't think about it, but felt that he couldn't be given any chance to breathe and prepare.
Huo Jingyun understood Sima Hui.
He had secretly sent troops to Nanzhao Kingdom immediately after failing to assassinate Sima Hui. The army is expected to arrive in ten days.
For the interior of Nanzhao Kingdom, he has already approached Sima Rong, the son of Sima Hui's younger uncle, and promised him favorable terms.
Huo Jingyun picked up the wine cup, and the spicy liquor slid down his throat. He wanted to taste what it was like to be drunk.
There is still no news from Qing Yun, she is really going to leave him this time, he underestimated her. In the past six months, he used all his strength, but he couldn't find Qingyun.
The ministers wrote letters one after another, asking for a queen in the harem, but he refused. He can do whatever he wants with this matter.
After drinking strong wine, he was not drunk, but his face turned red. The face is handsome, the cheeks are thin, and there seems to be heavy mist in the eyes.
At this time, he doesn't need anyone to accompany him, because this is his weakest time. Obtaining the throne was a big step closer to his success, and he knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult.
"Master!" Huo Jingyun toasted Kong Kong, "You lied to me, you didn't tell me that for the so-called success, you have to lose so much. And you can only move forward, there is no way out!"
"Master, why did I win the whole world, but not her heart? And senior brother, you said that senior brother is just a chess piece, but why does it hurt me so much to pull out a chess piece?"
Huo Jingyun poured down the whole glass of white wine, but he was still not drunk at all.
He stood up and walked out of Gu Huaxuan. The wind blowing towards him made waves of enthusiasm surge in his heart. Yang Qing immediately put the dark yellow cloak on Huo Jingyun's body.
"Which palace will the emperor go to rest tonight?" Yang Qing asked.
"Go back to the Hall of Health."
His steps are so steady, without any hesitation. Since they are all pawns, why should I be sad, everything will pay the price.
Of course, he also paid a price. His price is that he may be lonely all his life, and he will lose the only woman he ever liked forever.
Distressed feelings gradually spread, but he calmly suppressed everything and strode towards the health preservation hall.
It's so cold at the heights, that's how it feels. He thought silently.
Qingyun lived in Yilan Palace for two days before seeing Sima Hui.
His face was pale and his eyes were sunken. It looks like the result of overwork. His injury is actually not healed.
Qingyun asked Xiaojing to bring him the medicine, "I know you are busy these few days, and we don't know the rules in your palace. The medicine was prepared for you, but it was not delivered."
Sima Hui said: "The Yilan Hall is very close to the Qingsong Hall where the king lives. If you have anything to do, you can go to the king directly. You don't have to see the concubines in the palace, let alone salute them. You are a distinguished guest of the king. You said you want to be clean, but I only arranged for two maids and two guards, if you need anything, you can go to them directly."
Sima Hui arranged Qingyun in the Yilan Hall, and didn't tell anyone their identities, and no one dared to ask if he didn't tell them.
It was only rumored in the palace that the king had brought back a woman and a baby who was still in the swaddle. The king let them live in the Yilan Palace, but they didn't have any status.
There are too many people in the palace who have no name and no role, just because this woman has a child makes everyone think about it.
Everyone basically guessed that these were the women and children of the king outside.
After Sima Hui came back, he found out that Huo Jingyun secretly sent 100,000 troops to ambush in Changyun Mountain, 50 miles north of Nanzhao Kingdom. He found his confidants in the past two days, and deployed troops all night.
During the day, in the court hall, he talked and laughed happily with the ministers, and chatted with Sima Rong, as if he didn't know that the army was coming. At night, he stayed up almost all night, staring at the battlefield ahead. He must win this battle.
Qingyun would ask the maids to deliver medicinal meals to Sima Hui every day.
How can he fight against such a powerful Daxing as a Nanzhao country
However, Huo Jingyun didn't make a profit in the battle of Changyun Mountain. After all, this place is the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom. Moreover, Sima Hui is good at formation and guerrilla warfare. He used 50,000 troops to disperse Daxing's 100,000 troops.
It was Zhou Kai who led the army this time. Huo Jingyun did not send his favorite Grand Marshal Nangong Mu.
The 100,000 troops were stationed in Changyun Mountain, unable to move forward or retreat, neither did they move, nor did Nanzhao's army, as soon as they moved, the cavalry of Nanzhao's army rushed up to attack their team.
Two months later, Daxing's original 100,000 troops had only 60,000 left. Still stationed in Changyun Mountain.
When Ling Ziqing was three months old, Qingyun asked a nanny to nurse him. She stopped feeding him herself, handed Ling Ziqing over to Xiao Jing and nurse Ah Feng, and returned to Moshan alone.
Because of her pregnancy some time ago, she was afraid of hurting the baby in her womb, so she didn't dare to do anything. Moreover, she always thought that those things were not her business, as if they were far away from her, and they were all people she cared about. She didn't want to hurt anyone.
It turns out that no one cares what she thinks, whether she likes it or not. She can't avoid many things at all. Those who hurt her the most are often those she considers her loved ones.
Now, she has figured out a lot of things. Some accounts need to be settled, and some lost things need to be regained.
She doesn't want to care about those who don't care about herself anymore.
Every time she thought of Ling Chen, her heart ached to the point where she couldn't breathe.
She found her uncle Chen Wu and her cousin Chen Heran.
That night, uncle Chen Wen's birthday. Blossoming fireworks bloomed in the night sky, colorful and colorful, instantly decorating the night with incomparable beauty.
Moshan was brightly lit all night, and in the middle of the night, the air was filled with the faint smell of cloves, and countless snakes more than one meter long rushed into Chen Wen's bedroom. Chen Wen left without making any sound.
More than 500 people from Chen Wen's direct lineage had their necks wiped in their sleep. The bloody smell of the entire Moshan permeated for many days.
On the second day, my uncle Chen Wu regained control of Moshan.
Qingyun is relentless when doing these things now. These familiar people killed her lover and forced her grandfather to death.
There were already Chen Wu's people in Moshan, who killed Chen Wen's direct line, and none of the remaining people were willing to kill their own people.
Qingyun assisted his little uncle to take down Moshan, and adjusted Moshan's defense again.
She knew that Huo Jingyun would not let go, especially since he would soon know that it was Qingyun who helped his little uncle regain Moshan, so he would not let go.
Qingyun returned to Moshan this time to take back Mo Ling.
She is no longer the woman who hides behind Ling Chen and thinks about love every day.
There was no one to shield her from the wind and rain anymore, and Sima Hui only let her rely on it temporarily, she didn't want to rely on others.
For his son, for Ling Chen. What can be done now is to turn against the world and choose the most difficult and dangerous path.
Mo Ling was the dowry given to her by her grandfather. She once thought about returning it to her grandfather. At that time, she didn't think she would need Mo Ling.
She and her cousin Chen Heran led everyone to make a lot of explosive bombs, which were buried at all the entrances of Moshan. She personally made various traps in the places where Moshan and Qingyun Mountain could go up the mountain.
On both sides of the road into the mountain, ghost arrows, or iron terriers, commonly known as "ghost seeing sorrow", are small in size and extremely concealed. They are coated with poison and buried under grass and soil. If it stabs, it will be crippled even if it is not dead, it is extremely vicious.
Many trebuchets were added on the mountain, directly facing the intersection at the foot of the mountain, basically covering every place at the foot of the mountain. And the throwing objects turned into bombs, gunpowder, and even poison.
At this point, she sees herself as a hunter. Moshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Moshan is connected to the winding Qinglong Mountain. Qingyun has already used Qinglong Mountain as their retreat. They were familiar with the terrain, and it was not so easy for Huo Jingyun to capture Mount Mo.
Now that she has taken Moshan, she doesn't want to lose it again.
Qingyun lived in Moshan for more than ten days, but Huo Jingyun did not send an army to Moshan. Even Super Chen didn't move.
Qingyun couldn't believe that Huo Jingyun didn't respond to such a big movement in Moshan.
He sent spies back to report that Huo Jingyun had sent people to set up checkpoints at the intersections around Moshan.
Half a month later, Qingyun took Mo Ling down the mountain alone, and she was going to various branches.
Qingyun pretended to be a local mountain dweller, carrying half a bag of mountain treasures, and changed his face. Qingyun took the main road directly.
She knew very well that Huo Jingyun didn't attack the mountain, but was waiting for her at the foot of the mountain. If she walked along the path, it would be easier to be found.
There were two women carrying baskets in front of them, and Qing Yun deliberately chatted with them and asked the price of the pheasant.
"Mother-in-law, I haven't dealt with these pheasants, so I don't think there will be a price increase." Qingyun said.
The woman with freckles on her face said: "It's better if you don't deal with it, you can see the color, don't worry, you follow us, we will sell for a good price!"
Talking and laughing, I passed the first level very smoothly.
There was an intersection ahead, and Qingyun found that there were many soldiers stationed there. Among these people, he found Gu Fan.
Now she is wearing a lot of clothes, and her appearance is changed, her complexion is slightly dark, and her hair is messy. It is difficult for those who do not know her to recognize her, because she is nothing like the portrait.
But when Gu Fan stood there, when their eyes met, there would always be some information revealed.
Qingyun tried not to look at Gu Fan, she followed behind the two women, lowered her head and picked the mushrooms in her bag.
The guards had already let her go, but Gu Fan suddenly stopped her: "The one behind, stop!"
Qingyun was at the back, she pretended not to hear, and continued walking.
Gu Fan had already walked over quickly and grabbed her: "You, stop."
Qingyun stopped, "Master, what's the matter?" She pretended to be scared and trembled slightly.
"What's wrong?" A person stood up under the blue umbrella in front.
Qingyun immediately recognized the familiar voice, it was Huo Jingyun.
It turned out that he came in person.
Qingyun faced him sideways, and looked around quietly. There was a horse parked in front of him, which could be snatched from him. Looking far ahead, there was still a checkpoint. There is a simple teahouse next to it, where three or four people are sitting drinking tea.
Qingyun only wants to use poison as a weapon this time. She put her hands quietly into her pockets.
Gu Fan said to Huo Jingyun: "Master, this woman looks dark-skinned, and there is nothing unusual about it, but I just saw that her hands were very white and tender, and she doesn't look like someone who works in the mountains."
Qingyun regretted secretly in his heart, he was careless. Her hands were indeed undisguised, white and tender.
Qingyun said in a rough voice: "Master, women always wear protective gear when they work, so they are fair."
Qingyun watched Huo Jingyun slowly approaching. He stared at her with a sudden smile in his eyes. He has recognized her, this kind of smile, as if the cat saw the mouse, teasing, joking.
In his eyes, Qingyun could never escape his palm.
Without hesitation, she grabbed a handful of the drug from her pocket and remained on them. Seeing that several soldiers had fainted, Huo Jingyun and Gu Fan were not affected.
Holding their breath, they stepped forward to grab Qingyun, but Qingyun had already snatched the horse in front of him, got on the horse, and ran forward.
"Qingyun! Don't run, I won't hurt you!" Huo Jingyun yelled a few times.
Qingyun ran faster.
Huo Jingyun ordered in a deep voice: "Flying pigeons, send her current appearance to various places, and let all checkpoints carefully check, she must be caught, and she must not be hurt!"
"Yes!" The guard next to him immediately sent a message.
Huo Jingyun and Gu Fan had already gotten on their horses and chased after them.
Huo Jingyun's heart beat wildly.
When he heard that Moshan was taken by Chen Wu, he thought it was a civil war between their gangs, but later he heard that a lot of bombs, drugs, and poisonous snakes were used to do it, and it was a woman who assisted Chen Wu to do it. Yes, he understands, Qingyun is back.
He didn't let the army attack Mount Mo.
Firstly, Moshan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he doesn't want to destroy Moshan, and secondly, he has to concentrate on dealing with Nanzhao Kingdom now, Moshan is not a threat to him for the time being, and he doesn't want to deal with it now. There is another most important reason, he is afraid of scaring Qing Yun away.
