Everyone who practices martial arts knows that the most basic way to restore internal strength is to teach and accept both sides. It is best to take off all the clothes to achieve the best results. Therefore, at the beginning, you must be focused on nothing, so as not to
Will go crazy.
Silver Fox no longer dared to think about it. What he could think of, how could the king not think of it?
"King, it's...three days." Yin Hu's voice lowered, and the next moment, Tuo Bo Kun's voice sounded hoarse,
"How many days did you say...?"
"Three days." Yinhu's voice was still very low. Wang cared so much about the Fourth Miss, and now there are still more than ten days before she can go out. But why did she hear such news!
"How many days?! Louder!" Tuobo Kun was already shouting. He couldn't tell whether he didn't hear clearly or didn't want to hear clearly.
Silver Fox glanced at Tuobo Kun with trembling eyes, and said in a deep voice, "King! Three days!"
There was a moment of terrifying silence. At this moment, it was as if the entire Huaqing Pool water was flowing straight, without even the slightest movement. Silver Fox glanced at Tuo Bo Kun, whose body was frozen in Huaqing Pool, and silently retreated out.
There are less than eighteen days left! Every day from now on, the torture and pain will be doubled for the king, but the despair in his heart may be the real unbearable pain.
After Silver Fox left, there was no movement in Huaqing Pool for a long time. Tuo Bokun, who had his back to Huaqing Pool, looked stiff, and his body exposed to the air seemed to have lost a lot of weight due to the torture of the past twenty days.
At this moment, the thinness revealed in that back figure was indescribably heartbreaking and moving.
He doesn't want Mu Liang to feel sorry for him, because then she will be sad. He just wants her heart to be with him all the time, waiting for him...
Outside Huaqing Pool, a black figure stood there for a long time. He knew that Tuobo Kun knew about his existence. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. Even if he is suffering so much now, who else can compare with their understanding of each other?
The man in black turned around angrily, his eyes filled with ice that could not be melted away, making it difficult to calm down.
…
Ouyang Chong, who left Liuli Courtyard five days ago, was rescued by a man in black from the back mountain after being attacked by the Zishang hidden guards under Yelu Zongxiao.
Ouyang Chong was locked up in a cave in the back mountain of the General's Mansion by men in black for five days.
During these five days, the man in black brought food to Ouyang Chong three times a day, but did not say anything to him. Until the fifth day, Ouyang Chong looked at the man in black who ducked into the cave, laughed wildly, and said,
"Nalan Minghui! Have you had enough? So...interesting?" Ouyang Chong finally couldn't help it. He was locked in here for five days without anyone speaking, and he clearly knew who was saving him, but he still couldn't bear it.
It cannot be broken.
The man in black suddenly shuddered as he left. The next moment he turned around and faced Ouyang Chong, taking off the black hijab he had worn for five days.
It was indeed Nalan Minghui! It was Nalan Minghui who brought him every meal in the past five days!
Nalan Minghui looked at Ouyang Chong who had his acupoints tapped and could not move freely. At this moment, he had mixed feelings. After all, he was the person he had raised as his own son for twenty-two years. How could he treat him like an enemy?
"You can stay here with peace of mind now! Persia will retreat in three days! Once the Persian Saint King knows that you are a hostage in Bei Liao, he will definitely not attack Bei Liao!" Nalan Minghui said in a deep voice, looking at
Xiang Ouyang Chong's eyes became increasingly complicated and deep.
Ouyang Chong snorted disdainfully, "Everyone in the world says that I, Nalan Tianzuo, is a treacherous person... but they have all ignored that you, Nalan Minghui, was actually a civil servant at the beginning! If we talk about being treacherous and insidious, you are the one this time.
The only one who has the last laugh, isn't he?" Ouyang Chong looked at Nalan Minghui with increasingly disdainful and mocking eyes.
Five days ago, he was attacked by the Zishang hidden guards in the back mountain. Nalan Minghui took him away with his face covered. Originally, he did not take Nalan Minghui seriously, but Nalan Minghui could actually
Find his Achilles heel as soon as possible! And subdue him!
If Nalan Minghui had not doubted him early, how could Nalan Minghui have found his Achilles heel! His Achilles heel had been planted since he was one year old! If Nalan Minghui had not doubted him, how could he have subdued him?
?
Nalan Minghui looked at Ouyang Chong, who had a deep misunderstanding of him, and shook his head indifferently. If he was not his son, how could he miss him?
"That's all, now that you know who I am, maybe...for my relatively unfamiliar father, you can still find a little...feeling of being a father."
Nalan Minghui smiled self-deprecatingly, seeming to be laughing at himself for still refusing to face reality.
"Father? Ha..." Ouyang Chong smiled frivolously and unruly. Now he has subdued him. He can say whatever he wants, so why do he do this?
No matter what Ouyang Chong's expression was, Nalan Minghui kept talking to himself,
"You had a serious illness when you were one year old... Now that I think about it, he is no longer my son. When you were one year old, you left me for a while. When you were brought back, I had doubts, but in the end
Somehow, when I was holding you, you lay quietly on my body. At that moment, I felt... This is my son... What am I still doubting? Because you were seriously ill at that time, and I gave up everything on myself.
I transferred my inner strength to you, and it took me ten years to recover... Later, wars continued intermittently on the border. This is why I rarely come back, and when I come back, I stay in the study and rarely come out...
I can't let others see the strangeness in my body. I am General Zhenyuan of Beiliao, ha... you know? I can't afford to be sick... Once I fall, you will understand the consequences."
As Nalan Minghui spoke, the ridicule and disdain on Ouyang Chong's face slowly faded away. It was hard to tell whether it was shock or something else that flashed across his eyes.
Nalan Minghui faced Ouyang Chong with a completely frank and natural expression.
What he told was the truth, there was no need to lie to him about it. Even if he was not his son! Nalan Minghui had been upright all his life, and the only person he was sorry for was Mu Liang, and the son who died back then...
Ouyang Chong's eyes were cold. He knew Nalan Minghui very well, didn't he? But the more he knew him, the more contradictory he felt at this moment.
"Are you done talking nonsense? You can get out!" Ouyang Chong turned away from Nalan Minghui. Now he is controlled by Nalan Minghui. Why did Nalan Minghui lie to him like this? He should humiliate him and ridicule him.
That's right! Maybe he still hoped to use this to impress him and get him to reveal the whereabouts of the child who had been replaced?
"It doesn't matter. I have always regarded you as my son, and you are much happier than Mu Liang. She has been tortured a lot, but you have been the best among people since you were a child. Even if I am not here, you still enjoy thousands of favors. The only thing I am sorry for now is
It's Liang'er. I captured you not only because I don't want the two countries to fight and the lives of people will be destroyed, but also for Liang'er. If you dare to touch her or have her ideas, I will never let you go easily! Even if I lose you as a hostage, I will
I will kill you too and avoid future troubles forever!"
Nalan Minghui said the last sentence categorically, and the firmness and persistence in his eyes were more unshakable than ever!
Even on the battlefield, Nalan Minghui had never had such a decisive moment! And what if he was allowed to be selfish just for the sake of his daughter?
There is no longer any honor for the family and country, only the happiness and joy of my daughter! It’s that simple!
When Nalan Minghui turned around and was about to leave, he heard Ouyang Chong's sarcastic voice behind him with disdain, "If you are really doing it for your daughter! Don't let her be with Tuobo Kun! One is your daughter! The other is your daughter."
It’s your son! Unless you like to let them have sex!”
"What did you say?!" Ouyang Chong's words successfully made Nalan Minghui turn around. His eyes flashed with a strange and nervous look for a moment. It was the inner nervousness and concern for Mu Liang. And Ouyang Chong,
It captured his fatal weakness.
Nalan Minghui has been an upright man all his life and has never had any fatal weakness. This is also the point where Ouyang Chong was the most helpless when he was Nalan Tianzuo! Now, he said it himself... so don't blame him
You're welcome!
"You, what are you talking about?! How could Liang'er be... Tuobo Kun's father is the late emperor's sworn brother, and his status is second only to the Eight Wise Kings, you,"
Even though Nalan Minghui didn't want to show any nervousness or concern, he still couldn't calm down completely when he heard the news! After all, Nalan Tianzuo was a big enough blow to him, and he cared too much about Mu Liang
What a feeling! His only request and purpose for the rest of his life is not to let Mu Liang get any more harm!
Nowadays, even Nalan Tianzuo is Ouyang Chong, what else is impossible?
For example, Ouyang Chong has grasped his fatal weakness at this moment!
"Nalan Minghui, it turns out that when you said you cared about your daughter, you just said it casually. It doesn't matter. You can just wait until their brother and sister get married together. Anyway, I reminded you, believe it or not. I also like her, so
I don’t want her to regret it in the future, but it doesn’t matter now. If Liang’er regrets it in the future, she won’t blame me! It’s just you who didn’t tell her!”
After Ouyang Chong finished speaking, he smiled frivolously, his eyes full of sinister calculations.
…
After Nalan Minghui returned to the General's Mansion, he walked to Liuli Courtyard unknowingly.
Suddenly, he saw the lights on in the courtyard. Nalan Minghui walked forward in three or two steps, and his tall and vicissitudes of life stood quietly outside the courtyard. The next moment, a thin and thin body slowly walked out and intertwined with his eyes.
"Liang'er? Are you back?" Nalan Minghui's eyes moistened inexplicably as he looked at his daughter who had obviously lost weight in front of him. What Ouyang Chong said a moment ago was still deeply engraved in his mind, and he finally understood,
When I was young and frivolous, I made so many mistakes and missed the most basic love and dedication in life.
Mu Liang, who walked in front of him, was wearing a lotus-colored gauze dress. The skirt wrapped in three layers of gauze swayed quietly in the cold wind. The wind blew and the gauze danced. Her body was already thin and slender, but now she is even thinner. I don't know.
Why, Nalan Minghui felt a lump in his throat, and unconsciously looked away, his pupils sore and swollen.
I always feel that if I see Liang'er again this time, I don't know when I will see you again next time.
"Liang'er, my father is using Ouyang Chong as a hostage, and the Persian military camp will withdraw tomorrow at the latest. My father will also return to the border in three days. My father knows that you still can't forgive my father for the mistakes he made when he was young, so...
...That's fine. There is no regret medicine in this world... The missed family love should have been the care given many years ago... Now that I pick it up again, it has indeed changed the taste..."
Under the moonlight, Nalan Minghui's voice was low.
In the eyes of the 300,000 soldiers at the border, Old General Nalan was known for his strict military management. When he reached middle age, what he truly understood was not the way to use troops, but the way to be a human being.
Mu Liang didn't speak until Nalan Minghui turned around, then she opened her thin lips towards his back and revealed the words in her heart.
"Dad, if possible... after returning to the border this time, it is better not to come back. Although Emperor Liao's illness is dangerous, how can he tolerate you if he wakes up? The Queen Mother will give face to the Eight Wise Kings, but Emperor Liao will
Kill first and tell later! He doesn't even trust his own son, so how can he trust you? No matter who the new emperor is in the future, you understand the principle of one emperor and one courtier! In front of this generation of kings, you are a person with outstanding military exploits and awe-inspiring border officials.
The great general.
In the eyes of the new emperor, you are the biggest threat to the throne of the great master. Since ancient times, there have been too many unfounded charges. Killing the meritorious officials and setting up new ministers! There is no reason to explain. For the rest of your life... If you guard the border, although you are lonely,
But at least I can live the rest of my life in peace, with a clear conscience."
After Mu Liang finished speaking, he quietly turned around. The father and daughter had their backs to each other. The cold wind in the dark night rolled up each other's clothes and made a rustling sound in the cold wind. The winter in Northern Liao has always been the coldest for a few days. Winter days
Come early and leave quickly.
Sometimes, the night before was still bitterly cold and bitter, but the next day the jasmine flowers were blooming and the atmosphere was full of spring.
However, for now, the coldest days of winter in Beiliao have not yet arrived.
"Liang'er, daddy is sorry for you." Nalan Minghui stopped where he was. Mu Liang's words were all remembered in his heart word for word. This daughter has a cold face, but her heart is gentle and delicate.
The sour feeling in his eyes became more obvious. Nalan Minghui blinked and turned around suddenly. At the same time, Mu Liang also turned around to face him at this moment.
Her eyes were full of calmness and clarity. After experiencing the ups and downs in the past few days, she didn't want to give anyone any more trouble. Now that she had made up her mind to face it calmly, she didn't want to have anything more to do with Nalan Minghui.
Difficult.
Nalan Minghui's eyes were moist. He had been on the battlefield for a long time, and his brows were stained with blood after dozens of battles and nine deaths, without blinking. But now, his throat was choked with sobs, and the corners of his eyes were soaked...
"Liang'er, the first woman in my life was your mother. After three years of marriage, we had a deep relationship that made others envious. Although your mother was not in good health and had nothing to do for three years, your father never said a word "no".
However, everything afterward... turned out to be like a martial arts practitioner going crazy while practicing, out of control..."
On this night, Nalan Minghui couldn't help but confess everything to Mu Liang.
The grudges and grudges that belong to the previous generation are really not about lack of love, but love that is too deep and unforgettable. When betrayal comes, one does not know how to face it.
Mu Liang glanced at Nalan Minghui, his expression was a little excited. Mu Liang frowned, pointed to the pavilion in the courtyard, and said lightly,
"Come in and sit down and talk." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked to the pavilion first to sit down.
Nalan Minghui's eyes flashed, he took a deep breath and walked into the courtyard. He found a seat opposite Mu Liang and sat down.
In the past, Mu Liang wouldn't let him step in here, but now he can come in, but it may be the last time! As Mu Liang said, when he returns to the border this time, no matter how the Liao Emperor or the new emperor wants to
If you make him a prince or a king, he will never come back again!
He knew the allusion to the Hongmen Banquet, and the Liao Emperor knew it even more. The Liao Emperor was not the indecisive Xiang Yu who valued face, and Nalan Minghui was not the kind of Liu Bang who hugged a man's thigh and cried while crying.
History cannot be copied. As Mu Liang said, if he wants to spend the rest of his life in peace, he will guard the border and never come back!
After Nalan Minghui sat down, he unconsciously recounted the past. The secrets and thoughts that he had never told anyone were kept deep in his heart for many years, but he never thought that one day, his daughter would be the first
Someone who listens.
"The beauty of your mother is too weak, simple, and harmless compared to you. Having nothing to do for three years is indeed a great pressure for a wife. She has to endure so many rumors, rumors, cynicism, and I was still a civil servant at that time. Later,
Your mother went to the palace to see the queen. Somehow, when I came back from other places, many rumors that were not conducive to your mother spread in the general's mansion... Because of the status of the Nalan family in Beiliao, in fact,
As early as the day your mother and I got married, we married four ladies.
Your mother was weak-tempered and kind-hearted, so she gave up her identity as the eldest lady. So on the wedding night, everyone said that it was your mother who had stolen the eldest lady's favor. I don't want to think too much about this. After all, it is me who thinks about it.
You are not careful, thinking that as long as you love her alone, even if you marry another woman at the same time, it will not cause any trouble to your mother...Young people are like this, self-righteous and self-deceiving...
If you are really deeply in love, how can you have four wives in a house? From then on, your mother has been living in the cracks. The eldest lady is insidious and is best at stabbing people in the back.
The fourth lady was domineering and domineering, and the fifth lady... was even more sarcastic. But at that time, I thought... the kindness on the surface was the peace I wanted, and I was the only one who gave your mother the status of a legitimate wife. In this way, it is even more important.
To make those women hold grudges...
Later, the emperor and the empress put pressure on me, and there were rumors about your mother, so I stayed in the eldest lady’s room day and night, seeking revenge because I loved too much. For me at the time, this feeling was like all the grievances and pains.
I was the one to bear it, but now it seems that it deeply hurt your mother's heart... Until one night when I was in the study, your mother came to me crying and asked me... Should I divorce her, or..."
Nalan Minghui paused for a moment when he said this, his face turned pale, and then he blushed inexplicably.
Mu Liang twitched the corner of his mouth, cleared his throat and said calmly, "Then you had me that night?"
"Uh...yes." Nalan Minghui avoided Mu Liang with his eyes. It was really inappropriate to tell his daughter this kind of thing. But this daughter was too calm and smart, and nothing could be hidden from her.
Mu Liang didn't think anything of it. Looking at Nalan Minghui's current appearance, you can see how unruly, frivolous and self-righteous he was when he was young. He was obviously a martial arts practitioner, but he had the talent of number one scholar, both in civil and military skills, and he came from a famous family.
Like Nalan Minghui, in modern times, it is a perfect combination of the third generation of reds x the second generation of rich people.
"It's such a bloody commonplace plot in romance novels!" Mu Liang muttered in a low voice. Nalan Minghui didn't hear clearly and looked at her doubtfully.
"Liang'er, what did you say?"
"It's nothing. You continue." Mu Liang shrugged nonchalantly. The relaxed expression on his face made Nalan Minghui startled, but he didn't know how to continue. His daughter's calmness and strength made him feel that anyone in front of her
It's all as if it were transparent.
"Liang'er, when you married Nayelu Zongxiao, your father couldn't come back...actually..."
Nalan Minghui told Mu Liang exactly what happened when he treated Nalan Tianzuo.
"Liang'er, Ouyang Chong told me just now that Tuobo Kun is mine... I don't believe it, so..."
"If you don't believe it, don't worry. If you continue to struggle, the unbelievers will become believers, and the believers will become doubters. This is how people behave! They are deeply convinced and cannot bear the surrounding environment.
Change cannot bear the attack from all sides by rumors and rumors, and the final result is that it is unstable, hurting others, hurting ourselves, and suffering for half our lives."
After Mu Liang said this, he stood up slowly, and every word of his last words pierced Nalan Minghui's heart like needle points.
He stared at Mu Liang blankly for a long time without saying a word.
After years of hatred and pain for half a lifetime, now, can regret, guilt, and awakening make up for the wanton harm caused by youth and frivolity?
Ziwei has been gone for many years, and what is left to him now is that he is always haunted by dreams, and when he wakes up from his dreams, he is alone and unable to sleep...
