"Don't be so nervous." On the tree, a woman's laughter was as sweet as a silver bell. The moment she fell from the tree, it made people's eyes spin.
Fairy, goddess, probably looks like the woman in front of me.
Beauty can no longer describe the other person’s appearance.
If the beauty of Baili is the splendor of flowers in bloom, then the beauty of the woman in front of her is like the most beautiful poisonous snake, extremely aggressive.
Chaoyang frowned and backed away warily. "Who are you?"
The woman squinted her eyes and raised her hand to hook Chaoyang's chin. She was also attracted by Chaoyang's appearance. "She does look good."
Chaoyang had actually guessed the other party's identity, but he just didn't reveal it clearly.
"Put the dagger away, your movements are too slow." The woman sighed, as if she was disappointed with Chaoyang. "I have cleared most of the obstacles on your way to escape, why don't you leave?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Chaoyang looked at the other party warily.
"Ah, by the way...it really doesn't matter." The woman raised her lips and approached Chaoyang. "We will meet again."
After saying that, the woman disappeared completely into the backyard like a gust of wind.
Chaoyang looked at the petals falling on the ground, and could no longer hear any movement about the woman, as if it was just a dream.
The fingers that were holding the dagger slowly loosened their grip, and Chaoyang picked up a broken flower on the ground. It was a poppy from the Western Regions.
This woman is probably the new saintess of Dark Charm House in the Western Region.
Chaoyang doesn't know what the other party's intentions are, and so far the other party has not shown any hostility...
But the more this happened, the more Chaoyang became panicked.
There is always an... indescribable feeling.
…
forecourt.
"It's already this hour, and the princess is still not on her way?" The people in the government office sneered, looking to see what tricks they could come up with.
"Princess is tired, please rest a little longer. Do you have any opinions?" The people around General Mu replied angrily.
"Before the summer solstice, Princess Chaoyang must rush to the outside of the pass. If she doesn't rush in time, she might not be able to get there, right?" The person from the government office spoke again. "I said General Mu, please stop delaying. What's the point of continuing to delay?
"
"Come here, General Mu has deceived you, let me enter the backyard!" The man obviously couldn't wait any longer.
Mu Huaicheng did not continue to stop him, nor did he let people around him stop him.
By this time, Chaoyang should have left Shouyang.
As long as Chaoyang successfully escapes from Fengtian, that's all.
He will obediently follow the people from the government office, and all the blame will be solely on him, and it has nothing to do with the rest of the Mu family...
"No need to search, I'll go with you..." Mu Huaicheng stood up and threw the sword into the hands of the deputy general.
"General!" The lieutenants were all confused. What does this mean?
The government official sneered. "General, is this a confession?"
Mu Huaicheng didn't speak, just stood quietly.
"Take the person away!" People from the government office stepped forward to arrest Mu Huaicheng.
"Which one of you dares!" The lieutenants and several other officers guarded Mu Huaicheng in panic.
"What? Does General Mu want to raise his troops to rebel?" The government official slapped Mu Huaicheng on his head.
"Stand back, from now on..." Mu Huaicheng's heart trembled, and he clenched his hands until they were numb.
He was afraid of hurting the Mu family army, and even more afraid of hurting the Mu family.
I hope your Majesty can keep his promise and keep the Mu family.
"General, when shall we set off?" Before Mu Huaicheng could finish his words, Chaoyang's voice came from behind.
Mu Huaicheng's breathing froze for a moment, and he turned around in panic, only to see Chaoyang dressed in red, with her long hair tied up high, looking inexplicably heroic.
Chaoyang tilted his head, smiled at Mu Huaicheng, raised his hands and stretched, and spoke again. "I'm too tired. I've been sleeping and have a stiff neck. Brother..."
Mu Huaicheng's heart felt like he was hit by something for a moment, and he looked away in panic.
Chaoyang, what are you doing?
Why are you back again?
"Why are there so many people? Are they all here to see him off?" Chaoyang seemed puzzled and asked in a low voice.
Mu Huaicheng's body stiffened for a long time, and his heart beat heavily in his chest.
"Princess Chaoyang, this is someone from the government office, here to see you off." The head of the government hurriedly smoothed things over.
The people in the government office looked at Chaoyang in panic, how could this be possible?
That maid clearly said that Princess Chaoyang...
He glared at the maidservant fiercely, and reluctantly clasped his hands in his fists. "The government official, Liu Xiquan, is here to see Princess Chaoyang off."
"Brother, let's go?" Chaoyang raised his eyes and looked at Mu Huaicheng.
Mu Huaicheng also looked at Chaoyang with complicated eyes.
Chaoyang has a smile on her face, and her fair and beautiful face always has an inexplicable appeal.
Mu Huaicheng seemed to understand why his uncle Mu Jingyan wanted to run away with Baili and leave Fengtian, regardless of his future or his life.
If it were him, faced with the same choice now, he would probably make the same decision.
"Come here." Mu Huaicheng glanced at the government office coldly, reached out and grabbed Chaoyang's wrist, and pulled him outside the mansion, next to the carriage.
"Why don't you leave?" Mu Huaicheng's voice was slightly angry.
"What will happen to my brother when I leave? What will happen to the Mu family?" Chaoyang rubbed his neck, as if complaining. "My brother is so cruel, his neck is about to break."
Mu Huaicheng subconsciously felt distressed. He raised his hand to see Chaoyang's injuries, but when his eyes fell on Chaoyang's slender neck, his heart beat faster and faster.
With a blush on his cheeks, Mu Huai quickly retracted his hand as if he had been struck by lightning, turned around and left.
Is he crazy? Chaoyang... is his sister.
Chaoyang was a little confused and thought Mu Huaicheng was still angry.
Sighing, Chaoyang asked Xiu'er to help her get into the carriage.
This road will eventually have to be taken.
Although it was dangerous, she had escaped from the palace.
"Princess, your Majesty said that if you do not leave in Shouyang, I will give you this third kit." Xiu'er put a kit in Chaoyang's hand and respectfully helped Chaoyang tidy up his clothes.
After Shouyang, you will reach the Jiangnan border town.
There is going to be a war in the border towns south of the Yangtze River, so this trip will probably be very chaotic.
…
Kyoto Imperial City.
Zhengyang Hall.
Xiao Junze finally got through it. Although his body was very weak, at least he got through it.
After walking through the gate of hell, Xiao Junze's eyes became more and more fierce and compelling.
"Your Majesty..." Ah Fu knelt aside and looked at Xiao Junze worriedly. "I will go find Doctor Xue right now."
"Chaoyang..." Xiao Junze's voice was hoarse.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Princess Chaoyang is fine. She has now passed Shouyang and is heading to the border area south of the Yangtze River with General Mu."
Xiao Junze's weak fingers slowly clenched, and his heart ached.
After all, she did not escape from Shouyang for Mu Huaicheng.
Chaoyang missed her best chance to escape.
Xiao Junze smiled bitterly, and his vision was blurred.
Chaoyang seemed to be kind to everyone, but she was so cruel to him...
Obviously, she could tell him the truth from the beginning...
But unfortunately, she didn't say anything, she didn't say anything.
Leave him alone with pain, suffering, self-blame... guilt.
Isn't heart-breaking punishment enough?
Why, unwilling to say, unwilling to say anything...
"Your Majesty, please drink some water." Ah Fu helped Xiao Junze lean on the pillow.
"How's it going with Prince Yu?"
"Prince Yu fell off a cliff and his life or death is unknown, and the princess passed away..." Ah Fu said nervously.
"Cough cough cough..." Xiao Junze couldn't hold on for a moment, coughing violently, his chest heaving, and his mouth was filled with the smell of blood.
He... didn't want Xiao Chengen's life.
But in the end, he still embarked on the path of fratricide.
"Assemble your forces and send troops to the south of the Yangtze River. I... will lead the expedition myself."
Jiangnan, he wanted to completely recover it before Chaoyang left the border.
