This confession from the two of them was the Queen Mother's only joy at the moment.
"Okay! Okay. Because of your words, my old lady is ready to go all out! You can't be laughed at by young people at your age, right? Listen up, you two. Now that your father is seriously ill, Bei Liao can use the royal family There are only two of you in the clan! A group of veterans in the court have their own wives. I and the Eight Wise Kings will deal with it! You just deal with the Holy Emperor of Persia! Old lady, I will stand by you two at all times! Waiting for you to completely drive away the Holy Emperor of Persia. Leave the Northern Liao border!"
The Queen Mother's voice became hoarse and trembling at the end. It was not because of fear or nervousness, but because the situation had reached such a point, the Queen Mother could not help but tighten her nerves! At her age, she already knew everything. She doesn't care anymore. If she can still contribute to this country, what else does she have to worry about?
Yelvsong and Yelvzongxiao comforted the Queen Mother a few more words and asked the guards to take the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace. Yelvzongxiao stayed, obviously because he had something to say to Yelvsong.
When only the two brothers were left in the huge Prince's Palace, Yelv Zongxiao looked at Yelvsong with a sneer, and spoke coldly,
"After so many days, why didn't you tell the Queen Mother that it was me who made our father so ill? Don't you know everything?" Yelu Zongxiao's voice was cold, full of ridicule and disdain.
He doesn't need to tell Yelv Song how he knows, this is naturally his Yelv Zongxiao method! There is no need to explain to anyone!
Yelvsong raised his head and looked at Yelvzongxiao. It was unprecedented that the two brothers had been face to face for such a long time. Yelvsong looked at Yeluzongxiao who looked like this, and suddenly wanted to Laugh...it turns out that this is the most vulnerable side of his third brother!
No matter how noble and elegant, no matter how proud of heaven, he is just an ordinary person who never dares to face his own weaknesses. Fortunately, he was afraid of him, looked up to him, and avoided him... In fact, the most sympathetic person in the world is Yelu. Is this someone like Zong Xiao?
Yelvsong never understood what his mother-in-law said when he was young... The greatest misfortune for a person is that he cannot see his own happiness, and his biggest enemy is himself... He used to only think that his mother-in-law was hypocritical and coquettish. The daughter's family has never taken these words to heart, but now she suddenly realizes that the most wise person in the world is the mother-in-law...
I once didn't understand it when I was young, but now I have realized it completely. Unfortunately, my mother and concubine have passed away long ago.
Yelvsong's eyes turned red, and he immediately lowered his head and laughed. If Yelvzongxiao's sneer before was a sign of ridicule and disdain for him, then what Yelvsong gave Yelvzongxiao now was a sign of pity for him. and sympathy.
For a person who is accustomed to being superior, the most difficult thing to accept is naturally the sympathy and compassion of others.
How could his heart ever accept the thought of others standing on a high place and leaning down to look at him, giving him mercy and sympathy? He always thought that he was the proud man of heaven, aloof...until that woman appeared and tore him apart bit by bit. The noble pride that he was so proud of trampled his heart under his feet, like a puddle of mud! In his eyes, people who were once as humble as mud were now like colorful clouds in the sky, unattainable! His From then on, the last string in my heart was tightened, but today... it was completely broken by Yelvsong!
He had always been the younger brother he looked down on, but now he looked at him with pity and sympathy... Brothers and sisters, suddenly changed their places! Yelu Zongxiao felt that he was going crazy at this moment!
"Yelusong, what qualifications do you have in front of me..."
"So what in front of you? You are my third brother, not a god! Aren't you?" Yelvsong blocked Yelvzongxiao's words again. It was the first time the two brothers had such a long conversation, but it was Yelvzongxiao. His body was badly beaten.
Yelv Zongxiao stood there for a long time. Before leaving, he coldly said to Yelu Song, "People from the Holy Emperor of Persia have infiltrated into the harem. His identity is unusual. He may be the most unlikely person in the harem!"
"I know. But I still use that sentence now, soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth will cover it up! If someone like Third Brother thinks too much, he is destined to lose a lot in the future!"
After Yelv Zongxiao left, Yelvsong sat alone in the huge Prince's Palace. His eyes were desolate. Maybe it was the life he expected, but at this moment, he was not happy at all.
Yelvsong cooed in a low voice and fell on one side of the soft couch. The multicolored soft couch embroidered with golden auspicious cloud patterns seemed comfortable and carefree, but Yelvsong felt colder than he had ever felt before lying on it. He hugged tightly a large lotus-colored jade pillow on the soft couch. The core of the jade pillow was made of warm lotus-colored jade, and the outside of the jade pillow was a silk-made lotus-colored jacket. The long jade pillow was as long as an adult's. height.
Yelvsong specially found skilled craftsmen to make this. Not to mention the entire Northern Liao Dynasty, even in this continent, there was no second one.
How could there be a man in this world who is obsessed with lotus flowers to such an extent?
Yelvsong is the only one!
Yelvsong raised his hand and pushed down all the brocade quilts on the soft gold couch. What was spread underneath were all lotus-colored brocade quilts and sheets. Immediately afterwards, he put on a lotus-colored gown of the same color and wrapped himself in the same color. The brocade quilt, hugging the big jade pillow, fell into a deep sleep.
That night, nightmares continued.
I dreamed of Mu Liang countless times, but beside Mu Liang was either Tuo Bo Kun, Bai Xiaolou, Yelu Zongxiao, or Ouyang Chong. There was no place for him.
It wasn't until dawn that he had a peaceful and sweet dream. In the dream, he could see mountains and rivers, beautiful rivers and mountains. Looking around, spring was warm and flowers were blooming. He was very happy that he had finally survived the coldest winter in Bei Liao.
…
At night, when Mu Liang was about to take a rest, Bai Xiaolou walked into Mu Liang's room with a chessboard. There was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, his face was as gentle as jade, and his eyes looking at Mu Liang were as clear as smoke. , yet bright and clear.
"Mu Liang, how about we play a game of chess tonight?" He smiled lightly. With such a perfect and jade-like temperament, it was difficult for people to refuse him.
Mu Liang nodded and pointed to the table and chairs next to the soft couch. Bai Xiaolou put down the chessboard and sat down. Mu Liang sat opposite. After placing the cold and warm jade chess pieces, Bai Xiaolou made a gesture of invitation and Mu Liang smiled. , but he held the black chess piece motionless.
"You come first today."
"But you always leave first."
"Equality between men and women! There is no need for anyone to go first." Mu Liang's tone was very calm. Bai Xiaolou was stunned, "Equality between men and women? Haha..."
In this ancient world where men were superior to women, the word equality between men and women was undoubtedly very shocking. But Bai Xiaolou was familiar with Mu Liang, so no matter what she said, he would not be shocked.
The white stone in his hand fell immediately, but it occupied the most corner place.
"Are you sure you'll land here?" Mu Liang raised his eyebrows and said calmly. It's a taboo for military strategists to choose their weak spot. This is tantamount to giving the other party a rich gift.
There was still a light and gentle smile on Bai Xiaolou's lips, and he nodded to Mu Liang, "I will have no regrets when I play chess."
When he said these four words, he felt a bit helpless and a bit disappointed. Only he knew it.
It is said that a true gentleman has no regrets when playing chess... At this moment, he would rather be a real villain for once. Mu Liang heard the meaning of Bai Xiaolou's words, immediately dropped the black piece in his hand, and said with a smile,
"Well, I will accompany you to go crazy once. You will commit suicide, and I will use mine to kill you! Let's see who is the last to be crazy!" After Mu Liang finished speaking, he raised his hand to signal Bai Xiaolou to continue. Bai Xiaolou continued.
Xiaolou shook his head and said with a smile,
"You should know that what I want is not just for you to accompany me this time." After finishing his words, he dropped the ball again.
Mu Liang shrugged indifferently and said calmly, "Three months. Isn't it? I promised you that I will definitely do it."
Mu Liang's words made the smile on Bai Xiaolou's lips feel helpless inexplicably, and then he nodded thoughtfully, his lips maintaining the usual gentle smile in front of her, with a jade-like face, perfect and elegant, just like
The best porcelain white warm jade in the world, the white porcelain is flawless, but it is profound and difficult to understand.
But at this moment, he was clearly holding his own heart in front of Mu Liang. As long as she wanted it, this heart would be hers at any time. It was by no means as difficult to understand as it seemed to outsiders. However, he was in control of the overall situation.
But she made a mistake in her heart... This meant losing everything.
"What about three months from now? Are you alone or..."
"Now I'll just talk about today's events. If you want to hear the truth from me, then I can only tell you that after three months, I will not continue to stay in the Bai family." Conversations between smart people are sometimes too hurtful.
That's the thing about people. Once a smart person who is accustomed to being deeply sinister chooses to face everything in front of her, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to her opponent.
Whoever cares first will lose heart first.
Bai Xiaolou seemed to have known Mu Liang's decision for a long time. He put down the black piece with a smile and said with a smile, "Okay. But if I win this round, can I make one more request?" He always showed his maturity and gentleness to others.
Bai Xiaolou actually discussed terms with Mu Liang at this moment. Mu Liang couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"You won't win at all." Mu Liang dropped the white piece in his hand and looked outside indifferently. The night is deep, will Tuobo Kun come back tonight?
Bai Xiaolou blinked his eyes and glared at Mu Liang with an unhappy look, "You are looking down on me so much?" His pretended anger actually had a hint of cuteness, but compared to Tuobo Kun's pretense of infatuation.
There is no bottom line for being cute, so Bai Xiaolou is obviously not a master.
"I'm not looking down on you. Take a look at the chessboard for yourself." Mu Liang pointed at the chessboard nonchalantly. The silver-white silver board was covered with stars. The black stones and the white stones seemed to be almost the same, but the black stones were pressing forward step by step.
Bai Zi is in a dilemma.
The smile on Bai Xiaolou's face finally faded, and he said calmly, "Is this a bet?"
"What are you betting on?" Mu Liang seemed to be interested.
Those flashing eyes were bright and clear, looking at someone in the dark who was gnashing his teeth with hatred. Did this little woman deserve a beating? Why did the guy in Bai Xiaolou smile so cheerfully?
Bai Xiaolou's lowered eyes also glanced towards the darkness. Tonight, the long night is long, and he has a lot of world left here... Tuobo Kun likes to stay in the dark, so just wait slowly.
"How about I bet you and me tomorrow?" Bai Xiaolou said this ambiguously, but Mu Liang looked like he understood and nodded with interest.
"Okay, deal!" Her resolute attitude made Bai Xiaolou feel a little surprised. The next moment, he saw Mu Liang's black stone steadily landing on the middle point of the nine stars in the center of the chessboard.
"Mu Liang, you," Bai Xiaolou's pupils shrank suddenly. The position where she placed this piece was the position that both of them had given up on before. But when she placed this piece at this moment, it turned this chess game into a
The game ended in a draw. No one lost or won! But it is currently the only way to resolve the battle the fastest!
But she has always had a black-and-white personality, and she has always focused on going all out to win the final victory! But this time, she took the initiative to seek peace! The purpose of seeking peace seems to be to resolve the battle as soon as possible! Isn't it... She
Feeling sorry for that person outside? You want that person to come in early... and he should be the one to leave...
"Tie." Bai Xiaolou said two words lightly, stood up, turned around and walked out.
This game of chess inexplicably wiped out all the strategies and layouts he had made since he learned to play chess. It turns out that in the end, it may really be a failure.
The back of the man who turned to leave was deep and solemn. At this moment, if he opened his mouth to reveal everything, then the relationship between him and Mu Liang might not even exist for those three months! He left the last dignity in front of her, but he had already passed away early
I saw any possible ending between them.
"Mu Liang, we will arrive at Bai's house in two days!" Bai Xiaolou left a message to Mu Liang before turning around and leaving. But she never thought that these words would be the last words he left to her.
.
It became a swan song.
"I understand." Mu Liang nodded. The last words left to him were only four words.
At this moment, how could Ru Bai Xiaolou expect that the relationship between him and Mu Liang would come to an end.
Dressed in white clothes, looking elegant and aloof, turning around and leaving, it was a decisive decision.
Even if he doesn't want to, he can't change the fact.
…
Almost as soon as Bai Xiaolou walked out of the room, a dark golden figure flashed into the room. Mu Liang grabbed the chess pieces on the chessboard and threw them towards Tuobo Kun. The next moment, he saw him standing in the room with his whole body wrapped tightly, and the air was full of air.
A faint smell of blood spreads out.
"Liang'er, let me sleep for a while... I'm sorry, I came in late." After the hoarse and low voice, Tuobo Kun fell heavily on one side of the soft couch and fell into a deep sleep.
Before he fell down, he knocked over the chessboard on the table. The black and white chess pieces scattered all over the floor. I don’t know if it was intentional. Anyway, when the chessboard fell to the ground, Tuobo Kun had a faint smile in his eyes.
.
Before Mu Liang could say anything, he was lying motionless on the soft couch. His breathing sounded evenly. He was wrapped in a thick cloak on the soft couch, and the cloak was rolled with sable down. Although it was winter in Beiliao,
But the further we walked toward the snowfield tribe, the warmer it became like spring. Tuobo Kun's heavy sable cloak was obviously a bit too much.
Mu Liang walked to the soft couch and sat down, unbuttoning his cloak. The thick smell of blood hit his nostrils. An inch below his Dantian, a bloody cut as thick as a wrist was clearly visible. Although the blood on it was almost dry.
, but the wound was shocking.
"Tuo Bo Kun! Wake up! Wake up!" Mu Liang's eyes dimmed instantly, but he didn't dare to touch his body easily. He didn't know where there were wounds on his body.
But no matter how Mu Liang called, Tuo Bo Kun could not move, his body was cold, as if he had no strength at all.
"Why are you injured? What's going on?" Mu Liang muttered in a low voice. As he spoke, he took out the medicine box he carried with him and took out the golden sore medicine inside. He wanted him to take off his clothes by himself, but he was lying there.
He remained motionless, no matter how much Mu Liang called his name, he had no response.
Mu Liang could only do it himself, and after cutting his clothes, the wound became even more hideous and glaring. Mu Liang's eyes suddenly darkened, and inexplicable pain spread in his heart.
"How did you do this? How did you get hurt? Is there anyone in the world who can hurt you, Tuobo Kun? Can't you just let me save my worries?"
"Either you get out without saying a word, or you come and fall asleep without saying anything! When you wake up later, you'd better explain it to me obediently!"
"Who knows if you were injured and went out to mess around with others... and you asked me to heal your injuries... Aren't you omnipotent in the world? You..."
King Tuo, who was lying there, never knew that his Liang'er actually had such a little daughter side. Every word was like honey smeared on the tip of his heart. The hurt he suffered now was worth it...
Mu Liang cut off his coat, wiped off the blood stains on his skin, and disinfected him with white wine. In this ancient world with backward medical conditions, this was the only way. Throughout the disinfection process, Mu Liang was worried that he would wake up from pain.
, but he didn't even frown, his expression was as calm as before, he lay there quietly, and his breathing never became rapid.
