Zheng Ziyi spoke for the sake of Xue Moyun and the Emperor, but in reality, she was encouraging Mu Zheng to target Xue Moyun and investigate her.
Sure enough, after Mu Zheng heard about Zheng Ziyi and Mu Lingfeng's injuries from the explosions, he made the decision to send Mu Lingfeng to the Princess Mansion to investigate her.
This way, Mu Lingfeng would have a reason to enter Xue Moyun's Princess Mansion.
had already become suspicious of Xue Moyun, but she was still wholeheartedly doing her best for the war in the north.
Because there were no supplies in time, Minhan Changyang and his second uncle discussed for a long time and decided to attack parathion as soon as possible. As long as we attack parathion City, we can solve the problem of food supply. He would be able to go straight in, take down many cities in the West Cold, and take down the entire West Cold in the future.
The weather turned cool in the next few days, and the seasons began to change. It started to rain, and Mu Ying and the rest couldn't use fire to block Minhan Changyang and the others.
Mu Zhuoshi finally woke up after being in a coma for three days and three nights.
Liang Yue and the others knew that he was upset. While dealing with the enemy, they also thought of a way to make him happy. But it was still difficult for Mu Zhuoshi to let go of this matter.
Without an arm, what was there to fight for the throne? Even though he didn't necessarily have to ascend to the throne of the Emperor. However, if that vile character Mu Lingfeng managed to obtain the throne, he would be ruthless, sinister and brutal. Then, the citizens of the West Cold would be in deep water and in deep water. Mu Zhuoshi was in extreme pain.
"I know what you're thinking about. Isn't it just the loss of an arm, but your life is still there, the rest of you are sound, you can also go to the emperor, go to the ministers, and prove your abilities, prove that Mu Lingfeng is a great villain and a great evildoer. You, are the true ruler of West Cold. "Don't give up on such a small setback."
Seeing Mu Zhuoshi sitting alone in his room and drinking while being indifferent to the sounds of killing coming from outside, Liang Yue's heart ached and was anxious. She consoled him time and time again.
Mu Zhuoshi turned his head to look at Liang Yue, and started laughing bitterly: "Proof, is easier said than done, I am already a cripple, I can't even lift a blade now, even if it's just eating, I need someone to bring me a bowl. What would the people think if they knew that their future king was such a cripple? I am just a joke, a loser. No one will care about me, and no one will want me again! "
Mu Zhuoshi fiercely pounded on his arm. He was angry, angry, painful, and despaired to the extreme.
"Don't do that, I will!"
Liang Yue pulled his hand, looking at him in such a state, she suddenly blurted out.
"What?" Mu Zhuoshi could not believe it, and raised his head to look at Liang Yue, only to see Liang Yue looking at her with her red eyes, and nodded with certainty.
"I will." Liang Yue boldly pulled on his hand.
"I will care about you, no one wants you, I want you. It doesn't matter if you're missing an arm or a leg, or if your entire body is crippled, I'll still want you. No matter how you look at me, I'll stay with you. Until the day you say you don't need me. "
Liang Yue said with tears in her eyes.
"You …" Mu Zhuoshi looked at Liang Yue. She didn't know, or should she say she didn't dare to think about the meaning behind her words? Was that what she meant to herself? Mu Zhuoshi's heart started to thump loudly.
"Yes, I mean what you think. Mu Zhuoshi, I don't want to hide it anymore. I like you! Ever since I first met you in the capital, I had fallen for you. Being with you made me feel especially happy and relaxed. I know that you have always treated me as a friend, but forgive me, I have already fallen in love with you secretly in my heart, and I am unable to extricate myself. "
Liang Yue looked at her deeply and emotionally, then confessed everything she had been feeling and jealousy in her heart. She no longer wanted to continue hiding it. She only wanted Mu Zhuoshi to know her feelings, no matter what he thought.
"Are you pitying me and comforting me?"
"I'm not trying to comfort you. I just don't want to suppress my feelings for you anymore."
"I'm sorry, I …" Mu Zhuoshi wanted to say something but hesitated.
"I know that you like Yuchi Min. Please forget what you said just now. I'm leaving. " Seeing Mu Zhuoshi's expression, Liang Yue suddenly felt extremely ashamed and quickly walked out.
"I like you too." Mu Zhuoshi's voice came from behind.
Liang Yue walked to the door, stopped in her tracks, and turned around as if she did not dare believe it.
"What did you say?"
Mu Zhuoshi laughed and walked over: "I said, I like you too."
"Then just now, you …"
"I just wanted to say, sorry, I actually had to wait for you to confess." Mu Zhuoshi said while looking at her deeply.
"Forgive me for not knowing what I felt at the beginning, but I thought I was friends with you. I have seen you leave sorrowfully ever since I started practicing the sword, and I have not been able to see you since. That kind of care and anxiety has already surpassed the concern of a friend. With you, your boldness, your love and hatred, your loyalty, your care, have invaded my heart. I have long since discovered the feelings I have for you. I'm just afraid of breaking the gap between our friends. I'm afraid that you'll think I'm a man of your dreams. Now that I know what you're thinking of me, I'm extremely happy. "
Mu Zhuoshi said in a single breath, afraid that Liang Yue would misunderstand her words again.
The happiest thing in the world was that the person he liked also happened to like him. Liang Yue raised his head to look at the person whom he had secretly fallen in love with for a long time, and immediately went to greet him, and gently threw himself into his embrace.
Mu Zhuoshi also sighed as he hugged Liang Yue.
"You know, you've always been a hard-working man, and you'll be a good emperor in the future. The heavens will descend upon you, so you must first train well. Your arm was thrown away for the sake of the West Cold, for the sake of the citizens. No one would mock you, but instead, they would respect you and thank you … " Liang Yue leaned into Mu Zhuoshi's embrace and whispered to him.
"Sorry, it's not good. I made you worry before." Mu Zhuoshi said.
"It's good that you're fine." Liang Yue leaned on her, feeling his strong heartbeat, and wasn't willing to part with her. When footsteps came from outside, the two awkwardly let go. Liang Yue turned around and sat back on the chair.
"Big Brother Zhuo Zhi, are you alright?" Yuchi Min walked in and when she did not sense the dubious Qi in the tent, she walked towards Mu Zhuoshi with concern and touched his left arm as she asked.
"Cough cough, nothing, nothing. Thanks for your concern." Mu Zhuoshi took a step back, pretended to inadvertently avoid her hand, and asked: "Oh right, what's the rush?"
"Oh, I came to call Big Sister Liang Yue, the Prince and the others let you go, and we can discuss how to deal with the enemy together." Only now did Yuchi Min remember his purpose in coming here.
"Alright, I'll be there immediately." Liang Yue promised and was about to leave.
"Wait a moment, I'll go with you." Mu Zhuoshi said as he walked over.
"Mm. Alright." Liang Yue looked at Mu Zhuoshi and agreed.
"Sigh, Big Brother Zhuo Zhi, you're so nice. Wait for me." Yuchi Min hurriedly chased after him.
A few people walked in, and the people who were discussing other things immediately quietened down, and looked at Mu Zhuoshi in shock as he walked in.
"Zhuo Qing, your hand?" Mu Ying asked worriedly.
"It's alright. I'm fine. Everyone, let's continue discussing." Mu Zhuoshi waved his hand and calmly sat down.
Everyone's heart finally dropped when they saw him like this.
Mu Ying let out a rare smile, and then turned serious and said: "Alright, let's continue the discussion."
Originally, during the time that Mu Zhuoshi had been recuperating, he knew that it would be difficult to replenish his rations, so he used a quick method to attack the city gate every day.
Although Mu Ying and the others had been keeping watch, it had rained continuously during this period of time, and they could not use fire. Furthermore, the soldiers of the comfort barrier were strong, and if things continued like this, parathion City would be conquered in less than two days.
In order to resist the comfort barrier, he had to protect this extremely important parathion. Mu Zheng assigned a majority of his troops to Mu Ying, so that he could have this one hundred and fifty thousand strong army. If the parathion failed and the army was unable to replenish their supplies in time, it would be very satisfying to take down many cities in the West Cold.
"No matter what, we have to guard the parathion!" Mu Ying said.
"We only had fifty thousand left, they still have a hundred thousand. In this period of time, we have less than 40,000 left after their continuous attacks. Right now, both armies are very tired. The city walls won't be able to hold them off for too long. The General Yuchi said.
"Although the troops from the comfort zone have the advantage now, it's raining continuously. They basically can't eat much, and their stomachs are rumbling from hunger. Our soldiers are much better than them." Liang Yue analyzed.
"Yes, that is also why I wanted everyone to discuss. parathion has not been able to attack for a long time and the comfort zone has already lost its morale, why not at this time suddenly counterattack and catch them off guard? There is a huge chance for us to win." Mu Ying said as he nodded his head.
"But we don't have the advantage in numbers, how will we attract them?" General Yuchi asked.
"All is fair." Mu Ying said at the same time.
When Mu Ying heard Xue Moyun's voice, he glanced at her.
"This general, why don't you tell me what you think?" Mu Ying said to Xue Moyun.
Xue Moyun walked forward and everyone was already extremely familiar with this general. She was the one who had proposed the plan before, which had allowed him to severely demoralize the two hundred thousand strong army. Fire the enemy's grain and help them to get out of the siege in time. This allowed everyone to see his high level of martial arts and outstanding ability. Thus, everyone quieted down.
"Since they want to attack our parathion City even in their dreams, then let them have their way." Xue Moyun said slyly.
"What brilliant plan do you have?" General Yuchi could not help but ask.
"Send twenty thousand men to fight them outside and reduce some of their forces. Then, pretend that they missed and retreat towards the city. At this time, we'll shut the door. Hit them invaders. " Xue Moyun said passionately.
