His eyes showed an unprecedented loneliness, and he was stunned for a moment, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Ever since he revealed his true identity in Bingzhou, he had always had a forbearance and persistence that moved her.
Now that he had risked his life and came to Xizhou, she was even more impressed with him.
But at this moment, he showed a fragility and hesitation that a king should not have, which made her a little puzzled.
"Don't trust the people you employ, and don't trust the people you doubt. If the eldest brother can't trust God's gift, then he must not hand the commander's seal into his hands. This time the Xia Kingdom takes advantage of the opportunity, and the people in the army must be wise and courageous.
If Xiang Tianci is unavailable, can the eldest brother have someone to replace him?" It seems that this battle between Xia Yun and Xia Yun is inevitable. It is inappropriate to change the commander on the spot, but it is better than having to ask him to lead the team knowing that that person is unreliable.
Soldier, if we are really defeated by then, it will be too late to regret it.
The carriage suddenly slowed down. Sima Luocheng glanced out the window, then looked sideways at her, "The Xiang family has been a general for three generations, and they have been loyal and brave to the country for generations. Originally, I shouldn't have doubted him. But Xizhou was taken by him.
In his jurisdiction, there was an important event such as soldiers grabbing food, but he didn't mention it at all in his daily commemoration. If Ma Huaicong, the governor of Fuyang County, was afraid of taking responsibility and told me about it, I still wouldn't know about it at this moment.
.”
Hearing this, Xi Meng frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Maybe someone deliberately concealed this matter. Maybe Xiang Tianci, like his elder brother, didn't know about it at first. Otherwise, with his identity and status, he should have understood this.
The matter is of great importance and we will never take it lightly. How dare you risk losing your head by hiding it and not reporting it?"
"Right now, the most suspicious thing is actually the Fuyang Commander-in-Chief. Firstly, those soldiers are under his command, and he will never be unaware of what they did. Secondly, after the incident, he knew that the imperial court knew about it.
The Ministry of Punishment had been ordered to take over, but after the Minister of Punishment and his party were attacked, he suddenly executed those soldiers. The most suspicious person was the person who gave the information to the elder brother, who made the elder brother doubt Xiang Tianci at the critical moment." Shi Meng.
Hit the nail on the head and tell the flaw.
Sima Luocheng nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly thought of the late Song Xianlai. Although he was dead, he had been in Yun State for many years, and his power was not limited to the doctors of the Six Divisions. He was afraid that he also had internal agents in the army.
At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped, the curtain was opened from the outside, and Ye'er asked respectfully: "Young Master, we have arrived at Qingyang County, please give us your permission!"
Sima Luocheng looked stern and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to alert the county guard, just find a secluded courtyard to stay."
After Ye'er lowered the car curtain, Sima Luocheng suddenly heard a "Gulu" sound from his abdomen. He turned around and saw that Xi Meng's little face turned red. He held his belly with both hands and lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Hehe, I made big brother laugh."
Sima Luocheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily, patted her shoulder and said, "It was my negligence. Meng'er only drank wine last night and didn't eat at all. This morning, I originally asked Ye'er to prepare hot porridge, but it turned out that
Meng'er has a hangover and a headache, and probably has no appetite, so she didn't send it to her. Just hold on for a while, and when she's settled down, let them cook more delicious food for Meng'er."
His sudden thoughtfulness made her feel inexplicably sad, and the green figure with a faint woody fragrance suddenly appeared in her mind.
Since arriving in the human world, Mu Zili has mostly taken care of her daily life. He is a very attentive and thoughtful person. He always prepares many snacks for her every day, fearing that she will lose her temper if she is hungry and has nothing to eat.
Although he often nagged in her ears that those who cultivated immortals should avoid whole grains, especially meat and fish, but whenever he saw her listless and hungry, he would always get her some roast chicken and duck to satisfy her cravings.
She would always listen to his scoldings while eating with her face stained with oil and shouting with satisfaction.
Mumu, where have you been? Do you know that I miss you very much...
Eight hundred miles north of Qingyang, there is a snow-capped mountain towering into the clouds. Because the snow remains from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain all year round, it is called the "Snow Domain" by the people of Qi.
According to legend, thousands of years ago, a kind of fairy grass, as clear as ice, once grew on the top of the snowy land. If ordinary people picked it and took it, their appearance would last forever and they would live for thousands of years.
Since it is a fairy grass, it is naturally not available to those who are not destined to have it.
Therefore, although there are often mortals who are not afraid of the severe cold in the snowy areas and search in the mountains, most of them find nothing, and many people even lose their lives.
It is in this snowy area where fairy grass is rumored to appear. One thousand and five hundred years ago, a Taoist who cultivated immortality suddenly appeared. Occasionally, when hunters entered the snowy area by mistake, they saw this Taoist cultivating immortality from a distance.
In the snow, his black robe was particularly eye-catching, but no one had ever seen his true face.
It's just that there are rumors that he lives deep in the snowy land and has unfathomable magic. He protects everything in the snowy land.
But there are also rumors that he is a mortal who ate the fairy grass and has already become a semi-immortal, so he can endure the severe cold in the snowy land.
In short, regardless of whether the legend is true or false, it has been gradually forgotten by the people of Qi with the passage of time.
In the snowy area right now, there are still snowflakes flying all over the sky, and the biting and howling cold wind is accompanying it day and night.
In a cave at the top of the snowy area, there are various green plants growing, which seem to be in different time and space from the ice and snow outside the cave.
The cold wind is biting outside the cave, but inside the cave there is a warm feeling, just like a spring day.
A particularly tall man, wrapped in a black robe, stood with his back to the entrance of the cave, and said harsh words in a hoarse voice, "Humph! How long do you think this telepathy can trap me? Can you protect me?"
Living with her this time does not mean that you can protect her forever. Do you know that I am not the only one who is looking for her in the world now. I heard that the king of Shang State also ordered people to look for her everywhere. You
If you recognize her, you and I will be freed from your imprisonment, and you will follow me to find her obediently. Otherwise, if others find her first, you may not know whether she will be alive to see you again."
"Well..." The man suddenly bent over and fell to his knees, holding his head in his hands, moaning in pain. Through the snowy light outside the cave, his face could be vaguely seen.
His brows were frowning, his slender black eyes were slightly narrowed, and he made a fist with his right hand and hit a peach tree in front of him hard, causing the peach blossoms to fall, but the petals turned into a burst of green smoke before they fell into the dust.
, disappeared without a trace.
"Mu Zili! You are cruel! If you can, stay in my body forever and don't come out! Let's see if your spiritual power can withstand the fire of the mysterious world in my body, or will I be imprisoned by you forever?
In this cave..." The man gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain and sat up straight, concentrating his breath and regulating his breath. His cold tone was as shuddering as the weather outside the cave.
Suddenly a woody fragrance overflowed in the air, and Mu Zili's deep voice slowly sounded, "Que Hentian! Even if I exhaust my cultivation, I will never let you have the opportunity to get close to Meng'er."
