June in Beijing is a good time in early summer, when new flowers are in full bloom and the fragrance is pleasant.
Lin Jingmo was not in the mood to enjoy the flowers. War reports came from the north. The Southern Qi army was retreating steadily and would probably return to the capital soon. Not only that, she also heard that there was something unusual going on in the south. Qi Xuanyi took advantage of His Majesty's expedition and raised his troops to rebel.
He planned to attack Southern Qi together with the Northern Yan army.
Finally, after many anxious days and nights, Nan Qi returned to Beijing because of his defeat. This time, I am afraid it is the end.
Lin Jingmo didn't know what to do. After reading the military report, she collapsed on the ground in despair. Seeing this, Yan Chushan hurriedly asked: "Lin Jingmo, what's wrong with you? What happened to the Southern Qi army?"
Lin Jingmo looked into the distance with his empty eyes and said: "We are defeated... In the end, the only Southern Qi army will escort His Majesty back to Beijing..."
Yan Chushan seemed to have the answer already. He said calmly: "It seems that defeating more with less is a myth that appears in the classics after all..."
Lin Jingmo replied: "But... this time, I'm afraid it will be the last time for the whole Dayan."
"The king will succeed and the bandits will fail...the success will be defeated...aren't all this what we expected?" Yan Chushan thought for a while and said: "It's just that you said...on the day when Beiyan broke the city, would Shang Shixu stay?"
Your life?"
"Life?" Lin Jingmo said desperately: "Even if he is willing to spare my life, is he willing to let His Majesty go? Is he willing to let His Majesty go? Is he willing to let those innocent people go?"
Yan Chushan looked at Lin Jingmo with some distress, and said slowly: "I just think that at least you can live. In this case..."
There was no light in Lin Jingmo's eyes, and she murmured: "It's useless! If the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, what else can I rely on? It's just... it's just a painful existence, what's the point? Even if he
Even if you are willing to spare my life, I don’t want to live alone in the world like this. What’s more, Your Majesty has been very kind to my Lin family. He is the father of my sister’s child. If they are gone, what’s the point of living alone? I can’t think of it.
...After all, it is the person I love who makes me the most miserable and helpless..."
like……
Lin Jingmo couldn't help but smile in despair. Now that the country is in danger, what's the point of talking about love? The moment he gave up his identity as Nan Qi, it was destined that there would be no possibility between them, and they would only be strangers in this life.
Lin Jingmo looked at Yan Chushan, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to him: "Yan Chushan, you are the enemy of King Beiyan. If Beiyan breaks the city now, I am afraid you will die. Why don't you leave now?"
If you go to the farthest place from the capital of Southern Qi, you might be able to remain anonymous for the rest of your life!"
"What about you?" Yan Chushan asked, "You can also leave and find your own way of survival. Are you willing to go?"
"I'm different..."
Lin Jingmo's eyes were full of pain, and she said: "My father used to be the most important official minister in this country. He was upright and honest, and he never thought about himself. He even died for justice in the end. I
My sister is the person who loves me the most since I was a child. We have been without a mother since we were young, and my eldest sister is like my mother. She used to be the queen of this country, and now... her child is the crown prince of this country. I have been closely related to Nan Qi for a long time.
How can you give up so easily just to survive?"
"If you don't leave, I won't leave either." Yan Chushan looked at Lin Jingmo seriously and said, "I have decided to stay here, stay...by your side."
Lin Jingmo looked at him in confusion after hearing this: "Why don't you leave? I am someone else's wife. Even if he doesn't love me anymore, even if I hate him completely in my heart, I can't walk in any more.
I'm dead, wouldn't it be a pity that you would die with me like this? How unjust would you be to die like this?"
"Ha...I am already a dead person..." Yan Chushan smiled gracefully and said: "As early as when I was defeated, all my brothers who had been through life and death left me. From that time, I
He should be dead!"
Yes, when he and his brother seized power, the King of Beiyan killed all those who supported him... Like Lin Jingmo, he was helpless at most...
While the two were arguing, news came from outside that the Southern Qi army had returned to the capital.
The two of them did not hesitate and walked out of the street together. Seeing the dead and injured soldiers who had once been so high-spirited, they understood that this time, the Southern Qi army went home for the last time.
Lin Jingmo saw Shen Yifeng. He seemed to be injured again. He was wrapped in bandages and his face was full of sadness and despair.
Lin Jingmo looked at Qi Xuanzhou who was coming back in the car. He also lost the high-spiritedness of the young emperor, and only had the old age and despair that had been baptized by the war.
When Lin Jingmo met Shen Yifeng, he was recovering from his injuries in the mansion, and the maids were changing his dressing.
Lin Jingmo just sat down and wanted to ask something, but Shen Yifeng said directly: "We have been defeated. Now, we can still stay in the capital, but the Beiyan army has been chasing us and will come to the capital soon.
Already."
After hearing this, Lin Jingmo was shocked. It turns out... has it reached this point?
Not long after the emperor returned to the capital, news arrived that King Zhao had brought his army to attack Chenzhou.
Qi Xuanzhou suddenly laughed when he saw the news from the scouts. The laughter was so hysterical, so helpless and sad.
He threw the letter in his hand and shouted loudly: "Okay, okay! This is my prince of Daqi. Taking advantage of the invasion of foreign enemies, he actually raised his troops to rebel. Very good! Very good! Let the ancestors see it.
Look, these are the children and grandchildren of our Qi family!"
Qi Xuanzhou smiled even more crazily. He was disheveled and disheveled. He suddenly pushed open the door with force, and then walked out of the hall wearing only a middle coat. At first he was running aimlessly, and then he suddenly stopped.
I saw the tower not far away, the tower that Lin Yuanzhi once jumped from.
Suddenly he accelerated his speed and ran madly towards the city entrance. He rushed up to the city tower in one breath and looked at the troops stationed outside the city by Bei Yan, and then looked at the direction in the south where Qi Xuanyi would come.
Then he yelled desperately: "Come on! Come on! You want my kingdom, don't you? Take it over there! Show me how much you can do!"
Then he untied the golden ribbon that bound his hair and took out the golden hairpin inside. His hair was disheveled and looked like crazy.
When Lin Jingmo heard the news, she followed Yan Chushan and Shen Yifeng to the city gate. This was the place Lin Jingmo didn't like to come to the most, but today when she saw the usually aloof emperor, so crazy, Her heart became even more sad.
If she could, she would be willing to exchange her life for everything. She suddenly understood her father's original persistence.
