Mu Lianlong looked at the crystal ball in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Xuan Nu, why did you choose me? Why did you let me meet? Why did you let me make this choice? Don't you understand that in my heart?
Is this decision so painful? A deeply loved person, for a so-called fate, is about to make a sacrificial gift in an instant, how can you make me feel so embarrassed?" As Mu Lianlong spoke, a tear fell down and fell on it.
On the top of the crystal ball, the light of the crystal ball suddenly opened, and a picture was reflected on it. This picture was of himself and Xia Ziying in a cave on the top of the snow mountain, interlocking their fingers, and the stone sculptures on one side were also shining brightly.
Suddenly, the stone sculpture cracked, and then burst out with a burst of light that was so dazzling that it almost blinded him. There was nothing anymore. Mu Lianlong immediately closed his eyes, and after a while he opened his eyes.
, I saw a line of words written on the crystal ball: Sincerity leads to true love.
What does this mean? When he saw this line of words, countless questions and conjectures flashed through Mu Lianlong's mind. Does this mean that as long as his affection arrives, it will be like returning to him?
But his father told him clearly that it was as if the destiny black bird appeared. If the destiny black bird appeared, the shadow would naturally disappear. Although his father did not tell him for sure, his eyes said everything. Now the crystal
What does the line that appears on the ball mean?
Mu Lianlong was puzzled. He put the crystal ball back into the box, took out his pen and ink, and wrote this line on the paper. Then he looked at it patiently for a long time, but he could not understand the meaning.
She sat down on the chair helplessly. The appearance of this line of words seemed to be a signal, a signal that allowed Wanru to stay, but how to do it so that her true feelings could be resolved?
After thinking about it, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until night. When I woke up, it was already dark. It seemed that the servants were very aware of their tempers and would not disturb their rest at this time.
After sleeping until now, he got up and opened the door. A black shadow was floating in the distance like a ghost. After a while, he arrived at Mu Lianlong's side and floated down from the eaves.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to report." The nightingale floated down like a leaf, and then knelt in front of Mu Lianlong.
"Get up and talk." Mu Lianlong said softly. Nightingale was his special person to inquire about news, so he believed that he must have brought some news now.
"Your Majesty, I have already found out that the Mandala Kingdom and the Meng Kingdom in the Western Regions have formulated an attack plan. This plan is now in action. The Meng Kingdom has now issued a national edict to recruit young men into the army. Look,
Not long after arriving, they will come to complete the trip, and once the number of recruited troops reaches 200,000, they will begin to march together with the Meng Kingdom." Nightingale said unhurriedly.
"Two hundred thousand? So many, how can they have such strength?" Mu Lianlong asked in confusion.
"This time Emperor Meng issued a three-month recruitment order, and within these three months an army of 200,000 troops was assembled." Nightingale continued to explain.
"Our army is much stronger than that of the Mongolian State. It only has an army of 150,000, plus the troops guarding the capital, which is barely enough for an army of 200,000. However, the Mongolian State actually wants to catch up with this number and suppress us in terms of military strength.
, Okay, is there any news?" Mu Lianlong was obviously a little anxious, so he continued to ask, the news now is everything.
"The Mandala Kingdom in the Western Region has sent three hundred wizards to the Meng Kingdom. They are already discussing what kind of strategies they can use to restrain us." Nightingale said, her voice obviously changing a little.
"Three hundred wizards?" Mu Lianlong also glanced in surprise. You must know that it takes a lot of money for a wizard to grow from an ordinary person to a qualified wizard. If some people can't bear it, they will give up halfway and become a useless person.
. So the number of wizards is very small, even though the energy of one wizard is very large, enough to withstand tens of thousands of troops. So this time they actually dispatched three hundred wizards, which means that almost all the wizards were dispatched. After all,
What kind of profit drives the Mandala Kingdom to spend so much money and send out all the wizards in the country? This is incredible.
"Yes, three hundred wizards have arrived in Meng's Kyoto for training. Now they are just waiting for the Queen of Mandala to arrive and the Meng's army to be in place." Nightingale said such important military information very calmly, and her language was unexpected.
There was not even a trace of fluctuation. In Mu Lianlong's eyes, this person was like this, so he waved his hand and let him go down.
When Nightingale was about to leave, she suddenly thought of another question. She paused and continued to ask, "My lord, do you want to be on top of thousands of snow-capped mountains?" Such abrupt language suddenly caused Mu Lianlong's expression to change.
"How did you learn about it?" Mu Lianlong asked in surprise. Nightingale has always been responsible for activities in Meng Country. She will only come back to Mu Country when there is news. How did he learn about his next step?
Who else could know about this except his father, Xia Ziying and the people in the palace? Could it be that someone leaked the news? Cold sweat broke out immediately.
"When I was in the Meng Kingdom, I heard reports from spies. They said that Your Majesty, you went to the top of the Snow Mountain to get a treasure. The top of the Snow Mountain is in the Western Region, so the Queen of the Mandala Kingdom in the Western Region may have paid attention to it now.
When it comes to you, I hope you will consider it in the long term, Your Majesty." After saying that, Nightingale bowed lightly and disappeared into the night sky. After hearing this shocking news, Mu Lianlong couldn't bear it anymore. Could it be that the prince's family
There are details in it, I really didn’t expect that someone in my palace would leak the secret.
Mu Lianlong rushed to the palace, met with his father, and told Emperor Mu everything that Nightingale had told him. After hearing this, Emperor Mu was slightly startled, "Your Majesty, you are too careless.
But you must know that such a big thing will destroy you. If the enemy sets a trap ahead and waits for you to go, it will cost you your life, let alone our family's mission. Even if you and Wanru's lives cannot be saved, you
But it’s so confusing!”
Mu Lianlong knew that what he was doing was very confusing, so he stopped arguing and said: "The lives of my ministers are not important at the moment. What is important is the safety of our country. The intelligence I just received has proved that Meng will soon
Action is about to take place, we cannot sit still and wait for death, we must find a way to defeat the enemy."
"I have already thought about this. Now I can only hand over this task to the old man. He has fought countless battles and his military achievements are unmatched by you. At present, he is the only one who is most suitable. I will let your second brother
Don't worry if you go to assist the boss. As for you, you must go on this trip, but in order to ensure the safety of your life, this time you and Wanru can only act alone, so don't bring too many followers, the goal is too big
It's easy to be exposed, and you can't take the official route. For safety reasons, it's better to take some remote mountain roads." Emperor Mu thought for a long time before saying it. He felt very sorry for his son, but there was nothing else at the moment.
chosen.
"Okay, since my father has thought about the people of the world, I have nothing to say. The only plan for now is to do what you said, father." After that, Mu Lianlong was about to retreat.
, Emperor Mu suddenly stopped him, and after a long time he said: "Your Majesty, it's a hard journey here, you have to be careful, you must come back alive."
After hearing these words, Mu Lianlong shed tears for no reason, and knelt in front of Emperor Mu again. "My son will definitely come alive to see my father." After saying this, he knocked hard on the ground a few times.
Then he left. When Emperor Mu saw Mu Lianlong leaving, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard for you, child!"
When Mu Lianlong returned to the palace, he found the concubine and asked someone to take out the packed luggage. Seeing his urgency, the concubine thought something had happened and quickly brought the luggage as instructed. The concubine also took out the luggage.
A careful person may have brought too much luggage, but looking over it, nothing seems to be missing.
"Come here to find Wanru." Mu Lianlong suddenly said to the concubine on the side. The concubine hesitated for a moment and then ordered Xiaolian to call.
When Xiaolian arrived, Xia Ziying was already asleep. After shouting for a long time, Xia Ziying yawned and stood up. When she saw it was Xiaolian, she smiled and asked, "Xiaolian, what do you want from me?"
"The prince is looking for you. He's in the hall right now. You'd better hurry over!" Xiaolian said hurriedly. Seeing Xiaolian's nervous look, she didn't dare to slack off. She immediately dressed up and followed her over.
, seeing Mu Lianlong picking out his luggage, he asked curiously, "Your Majesty, didn't you say we're going to leave just now?"
After Mu Lianlong took a look, he asked someone to close the door, and whispered to everyone in the room, "Listen, I have a last resort for this trip, so I can only go there secretly, and I don't want to go there secretly."
I will bring more guards with me, so I plan to leave overnight. You must create an appearance as if I and I are in the palace to confuse others. Do you understand?" After saying that, he looked at the concubine, who was suddenly ignored by Mu Lianlong.
The thought came as a surprise and I was frightened.
"My lord, what are you trying to do? Why can't you be honest?" the concubine asked doubtfully.
"Don't ask these questions. You will know sooner or later. In short, just do as the king says, do you understand?" Mu Lianlong said to the concubine. The concubine saw that Mu Lianlong said so firmly.
, and nodded in agreement.
"Well, Wan Ru, we were originally going to leave tomorrow, but the situation has changed and we have to leave overnight. Don't bring anything else. What I brought is enough. Let's leave now." Mu said.
Lianlong stared at Xia Ziying, asking for her opinion. This frightened Xia Ziying. It was a great thing to go out for fun, but suddenly Mu Lianlong's weird look made her feel like she was running away overnight.
