143. Shot(1/2)

The last battle report was lying quietly on the ground, and everyone was silent, including Jun Zhaolin.

Yuan Qiu let go of Rong Lan's hand, got up, picked up the note, opened it and took a look, and the pain spread in his eyes.

Fan Ao dared not hide it. The memorial stated that Mu Zhenxuan was out of danger, and Mu Yuancheng died, and his body was hung on the gate tower of Liangzhou City by the people of Western Liao...

In the memorial, Fan Ao also wrote about the passage of July 15 that Mu Zhenxuan talked about. It was Mu Yuancheng who gave Mu Zhenxuan the only chance to survive. As his father, Mu Zhenxuan was poisoned and unconscious at that time and had no choice.

The note in her hand was suddenly pulled away, and Yuan Qiu came back to her senses and wanted to take it back from the hands of Yan Lan. She subconsciously didn't want Rong Lan to see Mu Yuancheng hanging on the gate tower of Liangzhou City. That's too cruel!

But Rong Lan has seen it.

Every word on the note hurt her eyes deeply. Mu Yuancheng's face with a gentle smile before leaving appeared in her mind, and Mu Yuancheng's last words to her echoed in his ears. He said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

Rong Lan's mind suddenly became blank, as if someone had tightly grabbed her heart. The pain made her breathless, her body softened, and she fell down.

"Mom!" Yuan Qiu hugged Rong Lan.

Jun Zihuan said in a deep voice, "Father, let me send my mother-in-law and my younger sister back to the house first. In this case, my mother-in-law is not suitable to go to Nanfeng City again, and Gu Feng also...please ask my father to make other arrangements."

Before Jun Zihuan finished speaking, Yuan Qiu had already picked up Rong Lan and walked out of the dim meeting hall.

Some people behind him showed their feelings of unbearableness, while others had ulterior motives. Jun Zihuan chased him out. After a moment, Jun Zhaolin once again discussed the war arrangements with the other sons and important officials.

The second prince Jun Zifeng was happy to hear Gu Feng's impulse, and sighed deeply and said, "Father, Gu Feng is young and energetic, and has a deep brotherly relationship with Mu Yuancheng. It is difficult to accept the bad news at first. It is also a normal human relationship. My father must not blame him."

It sounds like he is pleading for Gu Feng, but in fact he is implying that Gu Feng is a man who ignores the overall situation and acts emotionally, embarrassing his great responsibilities.

Although Jun Zhaolin could not abandon Gu Feng, he needed to consider whether Gu Feng could calm down and regain his sanity when he sent Gu Feng to Nanfeng City.

Prince Jun Ziyu frowned, "Father, Gu Feng only values ​​love and friendship, and is definitely not an impulsive person. Give him some time. At present, no one else in Wan'an City can take this great task."

Jun Zifeng immediately mentioned his cousin, Bai Qi, the eldest son of the Bai clan, and said that he was familiar with military tactics and had excellent martial arts skills.

However, the Duke of Ming Dynasty pointed out that Bai Qi had no experience in going to the battlefield and could only talk about war on paper. When this critical moment, he should not hand over the heavy responsibility to him.

Jun Ziwen argued that Bai Qi had never been to the battlefield because of Mu Zhenxuan's deliberate suppression and never gave him a chance. Mu Zhenxuan's control over the military power of the Dongming Kingdom was too serious and he had not promoted and cultivated available talents in recent years. He only focused on giving his own son and apprentice a chance to stand out. At this time, his son died and his apprentice acted impulsively, which caused no one to be available. Mu Zhenxuan must bear the main responsibility for this and should boldly launch new talents.

Jun Ziyu looked at Jun Zhaolin thinking after hearing Jun Zifeng's words. He thought badly and immediately refuted, "Duke Mu has trained many generals over the years, but most of them are arranged in the northwest to deal with the Western Liao. Nanzhao suddenly sent troops. Nanfeng City was not without generals, but it was just that the troops were insufficient, and someone needed to lead troops to reinforce. The northwest still had to rely on Duke Mu to defend it. Second brother, what was your intention to say those words that sow discord at this time?"

The Prince's Sect and the Second Prince's Sect began to argue whether Mu Zhenxuan was at fault and whether Bai Qi could use it, and they would not give in to each other.

Jun Zhaolin looked at the dim sky outside, slapped the table heavily and said coldly, "What's the noise? Since the prince still believes in Gu Feng, bring him here within an hour. I want to listen to him say it in person! Second brother, let Bai Qi prepare!"

Jun Ziyu frowned, Jun Ziyu looked happy, and the two brothers spoke at the same time.

The enemy is facing, but in this palace with unpredictable heart, there will never be a true unity. There is only the "deep brotherhood" that wants to take the opportunity to fight for power and profit and tramplify the other party.

Yuanqiu brought Rong Lan, who was too unconscious due to sadness, to return to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Jun Zihuan was sent to the door and left. The news would soon spread. He could not imagine how could Mu Yuanruo, who had grown up with Mu Yuancheng since childhood, bear the bad news about his brother's death?

"What's wrong with mom? Mom!" Lin Anshun's face turned pale, and he grabbed Rong Lan's hand and shook it. He couldn't wake her up, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Su Mo took Yuan Qiu's arm to the side, "What's wrong?" Rong Lan fell into a coma. Could it be Mu Yuancheng...

Yuan Qiu said in a deep voice, "The battle report sent by Fan Ao is fine, Dad is fine, Acheng is dead."

Su Mo frowned fiercely and looked at Yuan Qiu in disbelief, "How could this happen?" He knew very well how much Rong Lan cared about that son. Since Mu Yuancheng left home, Rong Lan went to Huguo Temple every few days to burn incense and pray for blessings, just asking him to return safely.

"Nanfeng City Mother can't go, let's talk about it when she wakes up." Yuan Qiu felt very uncomfortable and a little confused. He didn't know what to do.

Yuan Qiu could use needles to make Rong Lan wake up soon, but she didn't want to do that, because the reality she had to face after waking up was too cruel. For the first time, she saw her mother, who had always been calm, rational, strong and domineering, so fragile...

Yuan Qiu hugged the crying Lin Anshun, sat quietly beside Rong Lan's bed, holding her hand, trying to digest the many changes that had happened in the day and calm herself down.

Yuan Qiu didn't notice when Su Mo went out.

Su Mo quickly walked into Jingqiuyuan and felt dizzy. A silver needle pierced into his fingertips, and a drop of red blood beads emerged, making him a little more awake.

This is a refreshing move he discovered recently. He doesn't like the feeling of losing control of his body. Even though he knows that this means his life is passing quickly, he wants to enjoy the warmth of home, enjoy the care given by Rong Lan, the mother, and enjoy the moment when he can see Yuan Qiu...

But now, the home he finally got is shattering and collapsed. He cannot accept such a thing, and he cannot tolerate someone hurting Rong Lan at this point!

Qingfeng, Qingyun, Qinglei Qingting and Lao Zhou, who were found by Afu, were waiting for Su Mo's orders in Jingqiu Courtyard.

Lao Zhou was napping against the tree, and the four of them sat at the stone table in the yard. Ah Fu rushed over and supported Su Mo, "Master, what's going on? A fight started in the west? Are we going to help the boss's brother-in-law?"

Su Mo brushed Ah Fu's hand away, his eyes cold, "The latest battle report says that Mu Yuancheng is dead."

A Fu's expression changed drastically, and he was shocked to aphasia.

Old Zhou opened his eyes and stood up.

"But before seeing the body, this matter was not determined, and it may not be the treacherous plan of the Western Liao people. My mother must go to Yuzhou City to find her son. Qingfeng Qingyun, you can accompany you to protect her, and follow her instructions!" Su Mo said coldly.

The words "my mother"... are simple, but they shocked Su Mo's six subordinates! They knew very well that the person who hurt Su Mo the most in this world was the woman who gave birth to him.

Now, Su Mo called this title again, not Mei Suxin, but his nominal mother-in-law Rong Lan. But Su Mo and Yuan Qiu have never really called Rong Lan's mother-in-law until now, and he has never called Rong Lan's mother-in-law for a while. The first time he called Rong Lan was "Mother".

Qingfeng and Qingyun looked upright and said in unison, "Yes, Master!"

Although they care about Su Mo's life the most, they also know that the first thing that Su Mo can survive is not the antidote, but the person who wants to survive. Originally, only Mu Yuanqiu, and now Rong Lan is still there.

"Master, where are we?" Afu asked.

"Bo Zhou, go to Nanzhao and capture Su Zhi to Nanfeng City." Su Mo said coldly.

Old Zhou, who was always like he couldn't wake up, was instantly energetic, "Okay!" He had long wanted to attack the scumbags in the Nanzhao royal family. Su Mo was originally determined to die and would not let them take risks.

After the words came, Lao Zhou disappeared immediately.

"Nanfeng City? Master..." A Fu frowned.

"I want to go into the palace to see Jun Zhaolin, you are waiting here." Su Mo turned around and walked out after he finished speaking.

Afu immediately chased after him, "What do you want to do by your master? Don't be impulsive! Your body is only suitable for resting, just tell us if you have something to do!"

Su Mo did not ask Ah Fu to go back, but ignored his dissuasion and only asked to prepare horses. He left the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, rode on the flying fish, and headed towards the palace.

Afu stomped his feet and had to run back to find Yuan Qiu. Jun Zhaolin wanted to kill Su Mo earlier today, but now Su Mo rashly entered the palace, Afu always felt that there would be big trouble.

Before Rong Lan woke up, Yuan Qiu's eyes were slightly red. When he went out to see Afu, he learned that Su Mo had entered the palace alone.

Yuan Qiu frowned, "What did he say?"

Afu then told Su Mo's explanation, but he didn't know why Su Mo entered the palace.

"He is not an impulsive person. Since he has gone, wait for him to come back." Yuan Qiu sighed slightly. She knew that Su Mo was for Rong Lan. No matter what Su Mo wanted to do, Yuan Qiu would not stop him.

Yuan Qiu also knew that when Rong Lan woke up, she would definitely go to Yuzhou City. It would be safer to have Qingfeng Qingyun protected her. However, this matter still needs to be approved by Jun Zhaolin's consent, and Su Mo would mention it when he entered the palace.

Gu Feng, who left the palace, did not look back, but went to the military camp. For a moment, he wanted to rush directly to Xiliao, and he could kill one or one or two, and he wanted to avenge Mu Yuancheng, and he was almost swallowed up by anger.

But he was not crazy or did anything reckless.

Jun Ziyu went to Xunyang Hou Mansion in person. Gu Huai was stunned for a long time and didn't say anything. He came back to his senses and immediately asked someone to find Gu Feng back.

Jun Lingyue came to see her elder brother, and when she saw Jun Ziyu's expression, she guessed something big was happening.

"Yue'er, Yuan Cheng... was killed." Jun Ziyu said in a deep voice.

Jun Lingyue stared at Jun Ziyu in a daze, "Brother, what did you say..."

Gu Huai frowned, but at this time it was not the time to care about Jun Lingyue and Mu Yuancheng's original relationship, so he told Jun Lingyue again that Mu Yuancheng was dead.

Jun Lingyue fainted on the ground before she could shed tears.

When Gu Feng rode back from outside the city and was about to go to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to accompany Rong Lan, he was stopped by the Gu family's guards and said that the prince was waiting for him in the mansion.

When Gu Feng returned home and saw Jun Ziyu, he said bluntly, "I want to accompany my master's wife to the northwest to find Acheng. For the matter of going to Nanfeng City, the prince asks the emperor to make other arrangements!"

Gu Huai frowned, "Nothing! When is it now? Follow the prince into the palace and apologize to the emperor! You are going to be a father, don't be willful!"

"I..." Gu Feng suddenly reacted and looked at Gu Huai in disbelief, "Grandpa, what did you say?"

Jun Ziyu sighed softly, "Gu Feng, congratulations, Yue'er is pregnant. I don't want you to leave her at this time, but the important thing is important, you follow me into the palace first."

Gu Feng's face was stiff, and the blood in his body was frozen at this moment. Mu Yuancheng was dead, Jun Lingyue was happy, Mu Yuancheng was dead, Jun Lingyue was happy... He didn't believe it and didn't accept the former, and he didn't know how to deal with the latter. He felt a splitting headache for a moment, turned around and walked out blankly, muttering to himself, "I'm going to find my master's wife. We are going to pick up Acheng back in Yuzhou City. Acheng will not die, I'll pick him up..."

Jun Ziyu went to pull Gu Feng, but he pushed him away vigorously. In the blink of an eye, there was no one in sight.

Gu Huai held Jun Ziyu with an ugly face and sighed deeply, "Don't blame me, Prince, you also know that Feng'er and Yuancheng are more close than brothers, give him more time. It's better to consider other candidates when going to Nanfeng City."

Jun Ziyu, who had always been calm, suddenly shook Gu Huai away with a stern expression, "Where is another candidate? Gu Feng didn't go, so he gave Jun Ziyan the opportunity to seize military power! My sister married him and is still pregnant with his child. I protect him so much. How did he treat me?"

The first time Gu Huai saw Jun Ziyu lose his composure, he realized that what Jun Ziyu cares most about now is his status and power. He had never considered Mu Yuancheng's death, and what was Gu Feng's mood.

But Gu Huai knew his grandson, and he knew that it was impossible to let Gu Feng lead his troops to Nanfeng City to fight tomorrow at Mao time. Without seeing Mu Yuancheng's body, Gu Feng would not believe that he was really dead and would never have the heart to do anything else. Even Jun Lingyue was pregnant with Gu Feng's child. At this moment, it was not a happy event for him, and it would only make him finally calm down the guilt towards Mu Yuancheng, which burned his heart even more!

Mu Yuancheng is dead, and Gu Feng is going to be a father. This is just more cruel to Gu Feng and makes him more painful.

Gu Huai sent off the angry Jun Ziyu. He knew that Gu Feng had gone to the Mu family and was not too worried. He went back and ordered his servants to serve Jun Lingyue well. He was worried, so he sent someone to the Liu Taiyi Mansion to invite Liu Zhong over and take Jun Lingyue's pulse.

The night is getting darker and the cool breeze suddenly rises.

Su Mo waited outside the palace gate for a quarter of an hour before he received Jun Zhaolin's call.

When he saw Jun Zhaolin, he was still sitting in the imperial study room, with five battle reports in front of him, three from the northwest and two from the south.

The latest battle report was that the guards of Nanfeng City requested support. Nanzhao Kingdom was surprised this time and the offensive was fierce. Nanfeng City could not be defended for long.

Jun Zhaolin narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Mo who walked in the door. He was obviously the same person as before, becoming thinner and thinner with bloodless face. He looked more like a banished immortal who was not as good as the world's fireworks, but what was different about him.

"What are you doing if you want to see me?" Jun Zhaolin did not ask Su Mo to kneel down to him. Even after pleading with Rong Lan, Su Mo had actually become a member of Dongming Kingdom.

Su Mo stood in front of Jun Zhaolin with a weak expression, "Please allow my mother to go to Yuzhou City."
