"The emperor actually didn't kill King Wei …" It seemed that the Emperor did not support Duan Xingyi's actions! We still have time! " His heart was finally at ease. As the saying goes, a rabbit would die while a fox would mourn its prey. The Duke of Wei and his father were old friends, and with the addition of the fact that they were all princes with another surname, he naturally did not wish for King Wei to die just like that.
"It's not that he didn't support them, it's just that Duan Xingyi's actions had caused the entire imperial court to panic. Duan Chen only wanted to pacify the people. If he was willing to sacrifice Dou Jing and Qi Hu, how could he be soft-hearted towards King Wei!" His ice-cold voice contained a hatred that couldn't be hidden. Duan Mu Yan casually tossed the letter into the fire. Under the light of the fire, his eyes that were as clear as water seemed to be ablaze.
At his side, Xiao Lingfeng saw all of this. The Duan Moyan who had once endured for twenty years was finally forced into such a sorry state by this chain of events. He originally thought that after taking good care of his little brother, they would leave, but he had been wrong.
Right at this moment, a rustling sound suddenly sounded out. Xiao Jin Feng's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together as he swept his gaze across his surroundings. He saw a bowl-thick python spitting out a scarlet red core as it rapidly swam towards Duan Mu Yan.
"Be careful!" At almost the same time, the python charged over and bit Xiao Lingfeng's shoulder. In the next second, Xiao Lingfeng had already chopped down the snake with his sword.
"No regrets!" The shocking scene in front of her caused her to stand there unmoving. She only came back to her senses when Xiao Jin Feng was on the verge of collapse. After stabilizing Xiao Lingfeng, Duan Moyan wanted to untie his clothes and help him take drugs. However, just as her jade-like fingers touched his chest, they were stopped by him.
"Pavilion Master, please do not. Jing Feng can still hold on. May Pavilion Master help me to find my way to the tree opposite the horse carriage." Xiao Jin Feng struggled to push away Duan Mu Yan's hand, and used a single hand to seal his shoulder's acupoints, preventing the poison from invading.
"What time is it? Let go, I'll help you suck the poison out!" Duan Moyan didn't regret her awkwardness, but she didn't think too much about it. When she made her next move, Xiao Jingfeng suddenly stood up and staggered towards the opposite side of the carriage. Duan Mu Yan was slightly startled, but he did not think too much and could only step forward to support Xiao Jin Feng.
"Are you sure?" The moonlight was hazy, so it was natural that Duan Mu Yan would not be able to see it. Xiao Jin Feng's lips had already turned a dark purple color.
"It's not that I don't regret my stubbornness, it's just that the Pavilion Master still needs to keep his life for a big matter. Moreover, this small snake poison can't help but feel regret." He was afraid that Duan Moyan would associate him with something when she saw his body covered in burns. Since he had already decided to disappear, he wouldn't allow anyone to reveal his identity, including himself.
"It's better if you're fine. This pavilion master still needs you to protect me until I reach Pingyang …" How could she, Duan Mu Yan, have the ability to have Yan Wuhen follow after her wholeheartedly, and not give up his life to protect her? If she did not fulfill her dream, who would she be able to face?
When she supported Xiao Jin Feng under the tree, Duan Mu Yan followed his instructions and returned to the bonfire. She did her best to hold the bonfire high up, hoping that Xiao Jin Feng could feel it from the other side of the carriage.
Using his inner force to expel the snake venom from his body. This method only had half a chance of success, if he died, he would die in a place no one would be able to find and reunite with Shi Rou. If he was still alive, he would definitely return to continue protecting Duan Mu Yan, and regardless of the outcome, he would gladly accept it.
Duan Chen looked at Duan Xingyi with an icy cold expression.
"Yi'er!" In the throne room earlier on, why did you not speak up? Didn't royal father tell you to plead for mercy on behalf of King Wei? " Duan Chen suppressed the rage in his heart as he coldly questioned.
This son knows that royal father will definitely blame this son of mine, but royal father also saw the situation at that time, King Wei believed that he was worthy of the title, even if he committed a grave mistake, he would not regret it, and even cursed you for having lost his country. Even if royal father let King Wei go, his heart no longer belongs to you, it belongs to the entire Mo Clan, and with King Wei's prestige in the country, this son cannot let the tiger return to the mountain. Duan Xingyi replied firmly.
"You! How do you know that King Wei doesn't care about the Badlands? Even if he doesn't support royal father, he definitely won't have the heart to ruin the Badlands! "Yi'er, as the king, although you have to strictly govern the country, the laws aren't foreign to you, aren't you too strict? Because of Dou Jing and co., the imperial government's foundations are already unstable. If you kill the King, then you really won't be able to walk the path of death!" Faintly, he could feel the coldness and cruelty in Duan Xingyi's body. He agreed that his son could cultivate his own forces, but that didn't mean he could kill the innocent randomly!
"Father's lesson is, this son has a short vision, and only knows how to remove all the dangerous factors, but does not know the overall situation." Duan Xingyi lowered his eyes as he spoke, but he scoffed in his heart. National laws were not superfluous to favors! Heh! Duan Chen, oh Duan Chen, is this sentence worthy to be said from your mouth? If you truly cared about favors, how could you let Dou Jing suffer a miserable death? In the end, you were simply selfish.
As for King Wei, royal father has already ordered some people to send word, we must treat him well. This matter has been put on hold for now, and if you have time, you should read more of the imperial reports. Duan Chen said tiredly, leaning back on the chair as he slightly lowered his eyes.
Duan Xingyi's sword-like eyebrows slightly raised. Looking at Duan Chen's aged face, a trace of disdain flashed in his heart before he slowly retreated.
When Duan Xingyi returned to the crown prince's hall, Leng Bingxin and Ye Li had already been waiting for a long time.
"Master, your subordinate has received news that Duan Chen did not kill King Wei. What should we do next?" Ye Li suspiciously looked at Duan Xingyi, inquiring worriedly.
"I didn't expect this old man to have such a strong sense of camaraderie. It looks like King Wei has even more feelings for him than Dou Jing or Zhu Xu. He has already sent people to protect King Wei from the shadows because he is afraid that I would harm King Wei and that I would be asked to deal with the various calamities in the Great Mo Country. He clearly doesn't want me to rule out any outsiders!" Duan Xingyi's thin lips slightly pursed, revealing a trace of a strange curve.
"Master, shouldn't we leave this place?" Leng Bingxin courageously asked. After leaving the Southern Mountain Range for so long, she really wanted to go back. Only by going back would she be able to see Duan Xingyi every day.
"Go back? That mysterious person has not appeared yet, I really want to know, who exactly is planning to do this, and repeatedly spoiling my plans, and doing this is not impossible, the Great Mo Nation is rich, if there is a war, the supply will not be a problem, if I were to take out the entire Great Mo before I leave, do you think that Great Mo has any chance of winning this war? " Duan Xingyi spoke with a light smile. The light in his eyes couldn't be underestimated.
Leng Bingxin and Ye Li looked at each other in dismay. They had no choice but to admit that this desperate attack was indeed brilliant.
Early in the morning, the warm sunlight from the trees scattered down onto the ground. The bonfire had long since been extinguished and a puff of green smoke billowed into the air. Duan Mu Yan's body swayed slightly, and she finally woke up.
What caused Duan Muyan to be astonished was that there was no one behind the tree. Looking around, there was no sign of Xiao Lingfeng. Her heart was suddenly at a loss, and she was even a little scared and lost. She knew that Xiao Jingfeng would not leave her without a word, unless …. "Wuwuwu!" she shouted. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu …. As she thought of this, Duan Moyan suddenly ran back to the side of the carriage and lifted the curtain. The interior was empty, unless the snake poison had already invaded his lungs, perhaps he didn't want her to see his corpse.
"No regrets …" Sorry... Sorry, it was Mu Yan who harmed you! " His heart was in so much pain, just like that day when he personally saw Xiao Jin Feng annihilated within the sea of flames. That kind of heart-wrenching pain was something that even Duan Mu Yan was extremely astonished about. Duan Mu Yan's tears fell like rain.
"Who did Pavilion Master let down?" A voice as hoarse as a broken gong suddenly sounded. However, at this moment, as far as Duan Mu Yan was concerned, there was no voice in this world that was more beautiful than this voice. He abruptly turned around and saw that familiar figure standing before him. Especially that mask, even though it was expressionless, it still looked like she was laughing. Excited, Duan Mu Yan threw herself into Xiao Jin Feng's embrace, unable to restrain her tears from flowing down.
The sudden hug caught Xiao Jin Feng unprepared. He stood there straight and his mind was blank. At this moment, he didn't even know what to say. A warm feeling flowed through his heart.
After a long time, only then did Duan Mu Yan realize that her actions were inappropriate and slowly retreated.
"Where am I? "I thought …" Before Duan Muyan could finish speaking, Xiao Lingfeng had already passed the steamed bun in her hand to her.
"Your subordinate saw that the pavilion master had fallen asleep and that this place is extremely secretive, so I didn't wake the pavilion master up. I bought some steamed buns to satisfy my hunger. In half a day's time, we'll reach Pingyang. Pavilion Master, let's go …" Xiao Jingfeng's voice concealed the excitement in his heart. Duan Mu Yan received the bun and nodded her head as she boarded the carriage.
The decorations on the outskirts of Pingyang City were quite unique. In the midst of luxury, there was a touch of elegance. The red brick, glazed roof tiles and a noble air, however, were nothing out of the ordinary.
"Wouldn't it be too easy for him to break his legs?" In such a fresh and elegant garden, such violent words could be heard. People could not help but feel that this was a bit of a waste. At this moment, Duan Moyan was already following the group of guards in disguise towards the main hall.
"Two legs are cheap? I was thinking of breaking both his arms! " Qi Hu looked at Wu Bingcheng, whose face was ashen and its body was trembling with fear. A hint of delight flashed across his heart.
"You men are just too ruthless. If you want me to express my opinion, then I might as well cut off my roots!" As soon as the delicate words left her mouth, everyone fell into silence. Everyone's gaze shot to Liu Li in unison, their eyes filled with pity and sympathy.
"Please spare my life, Einherjar Wannabe …" "I haven't even gotten half a son yet, the root of the Wu family can't be broken on me …" Wu Bingcheng was shocked upon hearing this. He immediately prostrated himself at the foot of Ying Jiao's moth, begging for mercy.
