913. Chapter 913 Just for her; subvert the world [30]
The snow, which had only stopped for three days, started falling again on the day Mu Jieyu left.
Just like many years ago, when the snow was falling, Mu Jieyu went to Qizhou from Da Jingchu. Xuanyuan Zhirong stood on the tower and watched her go away. But Mu Jieyu was different from that time. He also got on the carriage and came forward.
She glanced at the top of the city tower, but this time her feelings were flowing, and her love was lingering.
However, there was only one glance. That quick glance was hard to catch. Even Xuan Yinlan, who was standing next to her, did not see the emotions flashing quickly in her eyes. What fell into his eyes was Mu Jieyu's expression on her face.
Xuanyuan Zhirong glanced faintly at the top of the city tower.
The grand ceremonial guard meandered forward in an orderly manner in the snow, and the carriages and horse hooves hit the snow, making a single squeak of farewell.
"Get out of your way!"
On the city tower, Xuanyuan Zhirong watched Mu Jieyu's carriage go away. His eyes were distant and nostalgic. Just as his thoughts were flying away with the departing people, there was a noise.
He turned his eyes lightly, and the person who was stopped by his imperial guards was none other than General Liang Dong, who had just been transferred back from Yanbei.
"Let him come over." Xuanyuan Zhirong said quietly.
Liang Dong got permission, rushed to Xuanyuan Zhirong, knelt down on one knee in front of Xuanyuan Zhirong and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor."
"Liang Aiqing, didn't I give you a decree that in the hope of your meritorious service in Yanbei, I would like you to go home and rest for a few days after returning to Beijing?" Xuanyuan Zhirong said expressionlessly.
"Wei Chen, thank you for your majesty's consideration, but I have something important to ask for your Majesty's clarification." Liang Dong lowered his head, but the soldier's back was straight.
"Say it."
"As a human minister, you should serve the emperor loyally. Your Majesty has orders, and I have to obey them." Liang Dong said unhurriedly, "But I and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were ordered by Your Majesty to capture Bailing Pass.
Seeing that a great victory is imminent, Your Majesty sends an order to withdraw the troops. There is a piece of ice in the hearts of the soldiers whose fighting spirit has been dampened by cold water. I don't know how to resolve it, so I ask Your Majesty for instructions."
"Are you questioning me?" Xuanyuan Zhirong's voice was low, but no emotion or anger could be heard.
Liang Dong heard the emperor's plain voice many times, but this time it was slightly different. At this moment, a piece of snowflakes flew into Liang Dong's eyes with the wind, and the snowflakes melted in the blink of an eye, and the refreshing feeling
The coldness spread from my eyes to my heart.
"I don't dare." Liang Dong's confidence was inexplicably drained away.
"You are dissatisfied, and I am preventing you from performing meritorious services." Xuanyuan Zhirong turned sideways and once again cast his gaze on the honor guard that was about to disappear in the snow. "I have my own plans. When I take action, I must report it to you.
?”
Facing Xuanyuan Zhirong's questioning, Liang Dong should have surrendered, but he didn't know where he got the courage. He raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and I don't dare to guess the holy will. But your Majesty will be the Third Prince of Da Jing, the Sixth Prince."
The prince was lured to the door and could have killed him in one fell swoop, but His Majesty let him go at the last moment. It was rumored outside that His Majesty was deceived by Princess Da Jingrong, and would sacrifice his kingdom just for a smile.
If you don’t believe your Majesty, it’s just like the rumors in the market, just to win a beauty’s smile.”
The corners of Emperor Xiangming's lips curled up slightly: "The rumors outside are true. Everything I did was just for one woman."
"Your Majesty." Liang Dong couldn't help but widen his eyes in horror, and even raised his head impolitely, looking at him in disbelief at the wise king he had vowed to follow to the death.
