I can't believe that this person is the Iron Cavalry King I met in Shengjing. When I first met him, I could clearly feel the upright and steady temperament in him. Therefore, in addition to the later Iron-faced King, I had the best impression of him. Because of the friendship between him and the Queen Mother, I had subconsciously regarded him as one of my elders.
But why did the person in front of him suddenly become a "despicable villain"?
Could it be that I really misread him?
Not only was I shocked, but Miaoyan, who was sitting on the horse's back, was also shocked. She seemed to suddenly come back to her senses and immediately said, "So you were not asking me to be a guest, you were threatening me and threatening my father and my mother!"
As she said that, she began to struggle. Yangchu, who was sitting behind him, the prince suddenly became anxious. He hurriedly reached out to hold her hand and shouted, "Sister Miaoyan, don't move around, there is danger, danger!"
Miaoyan's eyes were red and she turned around and stared at him: "You guys are too much!"
After being scolded by Miaoyan like this, Yangchu himself blushed. He turned his head to look at his father and hesitated: "Father..."
But the Iron Cavalry King seemed to be unable to feel the atmosphere around him at all, and still looked at us calmly and said, "Everyone, have you considered it? Should I change Princess Miaoyan? Or this Concubine Nangong?"
Pei Yuanhao and I subconsciously looked at each other.
I know very well that this exchange was definitely not something he willingly accepted. After all, Xie Feng had a great relationship, just for the sake of Miaoyan and for the sake of Nangong Lizhu, he still reluctantly gave up.
But now, the Iron Cavalry King made such a harsh request, as if he was trying to force him to make a new decision.
Force him to make a new decision...?
My heart moved slightly, and I raised my head and looked at the opposite side.
But at this moment, the guards around Pei Yuanhao were already furious and cursed at the other party. The iron cavalry over there was no want to be outdone. They waved the swords in their hands and kept shouting. As the atmosphere became more and more tense, it seemed that the swords were about to add up in the next moment.
Qinghan beside him saw that the situation was wrong and immediately said to Pei Yuanhao in a deep voice: "Your Majesty——"
Pei Yuanhao turned his head and looked at him. He shook his head gently at Pei Yuanhao and whispered: "Your Majesty, we must never be enemies with them here."
The facts are clear that Pei Yuanhao's troops were far from enough to resist the well-trained Iron Cavalry. Moreover, this time we came to the northwest not for the sake of war. If we really confront them here, many of the things that follow will become very troublesome.
However, everyone knows the matter, but not everyone can take this breath.
Especially - Pei Yuanhao, he has never been a slut.
But this time, Pei Yuanhao didn't look like he was going to lose his temper at all. After listening to Liu Qinghan's words, he looked up at the Iron Cavalry King, his eyes were pitch black. Even in such a hot sun, he could not see any temperature, but instead showed an unusual indifference and calmness.
His attitude seemed to shock the Iron Cavalry King a little.
The Iron Cavalry King looked at him for a long time, and a curve of smile appeared slightly on the corner of his mouth, but disappeared without a trace the next moment. He sang: "Have you made a choice?"
And because of Pei Yuanhao's silence, the soldiers on this side gradually became silent.
Everyone saw the emperor's mind. He didn't plan to confront the other party, so he had to choose to exchange.
There is only one Xie Feng, who should I exchange for?
My breathing slowly became tense in such silence.
Is it a good idea to change my words? Of course, that's the best. I don't trust my daughter at all. If I leave me, as long as she can return to me, I will pay any price.
However, I will never forget that Nangong Lizhu is the key to detoxifying Qinghan.
If you choose Miaoyan, does it mean-
I looked at Nangong Lizhu's pale and haggard appearance, with indescribable pain and sorrow in her eyes. At this moment, she had already realized her ending. She took a step towards us with a bland step, and then seemed to have taken two steps back involuntarily. The two soldiers who were originally escorting her behind her were also a little confused and looked at her in surprise.
Miaoyan, she suddenly became quiet at this time.
The anger and unwillingness on the little face slowly became solemn at this moment. She looked at me, then looked at Qinghan beside me, and then bit her lower lip.
If others were silent like this, I wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it, but my daughter suddenly showed such an expression, and an uneasy feeling suddenly came.
The voice of the Iron Cavalry King sounded in front of him: "If you have made a choice, just speak, and I will definitely send this person to you safely."
Pei Yuanhao rode on the horse, holding the reins with one hand, and the veins on the back of his hand gradually burst.
And I was almost suffocated at this moment.
At this moment, Miaoyan suddenly shouted loudly: "Father, mother, you should choose Concubine Nangong!"
Her shout shocked everyone.
Nangong Lizhu, who was standing beside her, seemed to be unable to believe her ears, and she widened her eyes and turned to look at her. She couldn't speak for a long time. She probably never dreamed that Miaoyan would speak and ask us to change her back.
Of course, she was not the only one who was surprised.
Qinghan turned his head and looked at me: "Why is this kid--"
However, before he could finish his words, Miaoyan had already said loudly: "We must let Concubine Nangong detoxify the third uncle. It doesn't matter. You don't have to worry about me."
If what she said just now made Nangong Lizhu confused, then this sentence now would be like a bolt from the blue, shattering Nangong Lizhu's whole heart.
For a moment, she was frozen there and stared at Miaoyan blankly.
"You, what did you say?"
“…”
"What, detoxification?"
“…”
"Detoxify him? What does it mean?"
Miaoyan turned to look at her, and her expression was a little complicated for a moment.
Not only Nangong Lizhu was shocked by this sentence, but Qinghan was also shocked. He turned his head and looked at me with wide eyes, his voice slightly astringent: "What does Qingying, what does Miaoyan mean just now?"
I looked at him with difficulty, only to feel my throat clattering, but I couldn't say a word.
Miaoyan, how could she know about this?
Nangong Lizhu's blood can detoxify Qinghan. It is obvious that only Lao Yao and Pei Yuanhao know, why did she know?
Pei Yuanhao looked up at her, his eyebrows twisted in a knot: "What are you talking nonsense?"
His voice was not stern, but this sentence was as low as a huge rock pressing on a person's head. Miaoyan shrank slightly, and I hurriedly said, "Miaoyan, don't talk nonsense about things you don't know! Who told you that Concubine Nangong could detoxify your third uncle?"
She glanced at us and said softly: "I, I overheard you."
“…”
I gasped.
At this time, we have to investigate how she overheard us and when she overheard us, it doesn’t matter. The fact is that she really knows that she can only rely on Nangong Lizhu to detoxify Liu Qinghan, so at this time, we choose Nangong Lizhu and give up on her.
but--
Nangong Lizhu couldn't get the answer from her, so she slowly turned her head. However, she did this simple move extremely clumsy, as if her whole body was stiff, and only her head and neck could barely move. Her eyes were red, looking at us as if she was congested.
No, actually she was just looking at Pei Yuanhao.
She said: "Is this true?"
“…Zhuer.”
"Can I really detoxify Liu Qinghan?"
“…”
"Then you, you come to me just to let me detoxify him?"
“…”
"Even you, too?"
When she asked this question, my heart suddenly sank.
I know very well why she has lived in this life, and I know that after so much suffering, the only thing that can support her to stand up is her love for this man. But now, the answer to this question is enough to tear apart all her past beliefs and support.
How would Pei Yuanhao answer her?
At this time, Pei Yuanhao's eyebrows also frowned. He subconsciously took a step forward and said, "Zhu'er, I--"
However, before he could finish his words, Nangong Lizhu suddenly said, "Don't say it!"
Her voice was always gentle and sweet, but at this time, it was like the most scathing ghost cry in the night, and the shrill shouts seemed to come from the heart of a stranger.
Pei Yuanhao was slightly stunned. Nangong Lizhu's face was pale and she lowered her head, as if she didn't even dare to look at him. Her whole body was trembling in the hot sun, as if she was in the snow and ice.
She looked down at her feet and murmured, "Don't say it...you, don't say it again..."
At this moment, she no longer dared to accept any answers.
She kept trembling and retreating, and kept whispering: "Don't say anything, don't say anything... I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, don't say..."
"Zhu'er..."
"I don't listen, I don't want to listen to anything..."
"Zhu'er!"
Pei Yuanhao called her with a heavier voice. Nangong Lizhu finally raised her head and looked at him. The bright eyes of Qiu Shui became ashes at this moment. She looked at Pei Yuanhao in silence for a long time, and finally, in a hoarse voice that was almost lost, he said word by word: "What else can I say!"
After saying this, she turned around lonely, one foot deep and one foot shallow, as if she was stepping on cotton, and she walked away staggeringly.
I have never seen a person walking like this, as if his soul was taken away, and only a walking zombie was left.
