The smoke of gunpowder in Capital City came very quickly. People who were still sleeping peacefully one day heard the loud shouts of killing the next day. The comrades who used to guard the mountains and rivers together in the past have reached the point of life and death today.

Just because of the disputes between the superiors, the whole land will be stained with blood.

There were no pedestrians on the street, only soldiers rushing towards the gate of the city in a hurry.

"Mother, I'm scared." The child lying in his mother's arms covered his ears and murmured in a crying voice.

The mother who also didn't know what the future would hold could only hug the child tightly and stare nervously at the movement outside the window.

In this capital city, there is only one shop that is still open, and that is Gushengtang. Not only did Bai Zhi not close the door to thank customers, but instead hung the signboard outside the door, the meaning couldn't be more clear.

If he was injured on the battlefield, Gushengtang could heal him.

And do not take a penny.

Right now, she and Qing'er are busy making all kinds of medicines, so busy that they don't even have time to sit down and rest.

But inside the Marquis of Anding's mansion, there was a complete silence.

The accident happened so quickly that Qin Anhe couldn't believe it. A few days ago, Yanyan's child, who had been teasing and laughing at him, now did not know where he was, and his life and death were even more uncertain.

The turmoil of the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with her. She knelt quietly in the ancestral hall, praying over and over again for Su Mu to come back safely.

This is the most simple wish of a mother.

"His Royal Highness! There is... someone came to report!"

There were still commanders of various armies and horses in the house still discussing war strategies, but this person still knocked on the door in a hurry, he must have something important to report.

Liu Xiaoran only felt that her eyelids were twitching violently.

Seeing that many people were present, the man flinched and looked at Ji Yunche.

Ji Yunche could roughly guess two or three points, and said coldly: "Just say it."

The man knelt down immediately, with a trembling voice: "There...someone came to report that Marquis Anding was forced into the valley with his jade seal and imperial edict."

In an instant, the sound in the room disappeared completely.

Liu Xiaoran didn't even remember how she got out, and how she returned to the Shence Army's barracks.

"How is it possible? What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Lingjue grabbed the soldier who was talking about this, and almost pushed him into the crack of the wall, "You——say—what——"

"I...that's all I heard from people, from those who returned. They said that it was already late when they arrived. The valley is very deep. I guess—"

"Shut up!" Qi Hao interrupted him sharply, "The matter has not been proven, how dare you gossip here?"

The soldier was obviously frightened and immediately fell silent, but Lu Lingjue could no longer calm down and think.

"Qi Hao, what are they talking about, what are they talking about—"

The sound stopped abruptly, and the two stopped in unison. Liu Xiaoran walked over expressionlessly, and when they passed by the two, they both felt a bone-piercing chill.

"grown ups……"

"Don't go over there." Qi Hao grabbed Lu Lingjue and dragged him back, "Come here."

Lu Lingjue was dragged away for a long time before she managed to regain her senses. After breaking free, she asked in a trembling voice: "Just now...my lord did that because of Yu Zhi——because of Yu Zhi's truth.Is something wrong?"

He didn't want to believe this from the bottom of his heart, but Liu Xiaoran's murderous expression just now was something he had never seen before.

"Yu Zhi...Is something really wrong with Yu Zhi?" He only felt that his eye sockets had begun to heat up uncontrollably, and his hands were trembling slightly, "But... haven't someone been sent there yet?"

Although Qi Hao also found it unbelievable at this time, such a thing must not be groundless. Su Mu...something must have happened.

"Everything is not fixed yet, don't worry about it, maybe... there will be a turning point?"

Sitting in his seat, he stared at the defense map in front of him in a daze for a long time before raising his eyes to look at the sky outside the window.

Just now he seems to have heard bad news, very bad news.

The powerlessness and anger in his heart gradually permeated every part of his body. He wanted those ambitious people to pay the price. For the first time, he wanted to be free from any laws and cut them all to pieces.

Yu Zhi...

The person who said before leaving that he would come to his home to eat and drink for the rest of his life.

A burst of colic in his chest pulled him back to reality, and a sense of suffocation surged up at the same time, but the unspeakable emotions in his heart failed to make him shed tears in the end.

He just felt as if he was drowning in the water, no matter how much he opened his mouth, he couldn't breathe.

Countless words seemed to be choked in his throat, unable to swallow or spit out.

The fingertips shrank into the palm, and there were bloodstains drawn in the palm that was constantly shrinking. The pain came from the palm of the hand, as if this could barely wake him up from the mud for a while.

There was a crisp sound of porcelain falling, and the guard at the door rushed in, and saw Liu Xiaoran with bloodshot eyes, who looked like a Shura.

Liu Xiaoran, who had always been as cold as an exiled fairy, was staring at him with such eyes now, even though he was used to the battlefield, he subconsciously fell to his knees with a plop.

He always felt as if a sharp knife had been hanging around his neck.

"go out."

The cold words were the same in the past, but they were especially sweet in the present, and the guard hurriedly trotted out.

Liu Xiaoran looked numbly at the bloodstains on his hands, the pain caused by the nicks on his wrists made by the porcelain shards made him finally able to concentrate part of his attention on thinking about countermeasures.

He wanted to find Su Mu.

But he knew that Ji Yunche would not allow it.

He also knew that if he did this, the changes that would be caused by rashly opening the city gate would be immeasurable.

He can gamble with his own life, but he cannot gamble with Capital City, where there are tens of thousands of people he and Su Mu once guarded together.

Watching the dark marks gradually disappear on the brown tabletop, all the senses he lost gradually returned to his body. The thin sheet of paper on his chest is still there, but what he can feel when he grabs his chest is onlyDeep despair.

Ji Yunche sent more people to find the whereabouts, but no one had any expectations for the result.

Such an unfathomable valley will not leave any vitality.

Now that the two sides lost both the jade seal and the edict, Ji Jingchen outside the city began to move around. On the second day, he launched a round of trials towards Capital City.

Gao Huan is a master who is used to using the terrain, and the flat ground of Capital City happens to be his shortcoming. Although the soldiers of the Murong Mansion are quite famous, the number of soldiers in the Mobei Army is more than twice that of them. In the end,So the Shence Army had to be incorporated into the foreign attack team.

Ji Yunche originally thought that Liu Xiaoran would completely become a useless pawn when Su Mu's news came back, but it seemed that the result was quite different from what he thought, and the other party was so calm that people doubted whether he knew about it.

The situation was urgent, and he couldn't allow him to figure out the meaning.

Perhaps the relationship between these two people is just a friendship between gentlemen, as water is as weak as water.

Jin Cheng is good at the layout of the city, but he is not proficient in various battle formations. In the end, Mu Rongyang and Liu Xiaoran cooperated. The Murong Mansion and the Shence Army once fought in the Winter Hunting Field, and now they have become bloody people together, Although there were also casualties, they were much better than before.

So on the third day, someone came to report.

"There is a person outside the city gate begging to see him - he - he is carrying a jade seal!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people present were surprised.

Like a drowning person who finally found the driftwood, Liu Xiaoran's expression changed a little after a long time, it was an emotion formed by the intersection of disbelief and doubt, but after the person came in front of everyone, this little hope turned intoFor nothing.

"You are... the son of General He Lang?" Ji Yunche frowned, and recognized the young man. Under the black cloak was a handsome face that had already been covered with dust.

"What's going on, why is the jade seal on you?"

As if he couldn't hear, He Jingxu held the things in his hands without saying a word, and even his expression didn't change at all.

"What the hell happened? What the hell happened to Marquis Anding...?"

The words "Marquis Anding" seemed to have stabbed He Jingxu's spine. He trembled slightly, and then he fell on the ground fiercely. The sound when his head touched the ground made Ji Yunche feel terrified.

When he wanted to lift him up and question him carefully, he found tears dripping down on the ground. At that moment, he seemed to feel that he didn't need to ask any more questions.

Just five days ago, He Jingxu arrived at the palace, and Su Mu asked him to help very simply, that is, to ask He Jingxu to take good care of the jade seal and the imperial edict for him.

He didn't understand at first, until Su Mu used the reason "I don't know martial arts, if someone else robs me, I can't stop me". When he was Mo Shu, he believed in his son very much.Even after He Jingxu, he still believed in Su Mu's words.

Until that night, he fell into a drowsy sleep, and when he woke up, it was already the next day, and the chaos around him caught him off guard, and countless wailing sounds exploded in his ears.Pull him back to that bloody night.

There was a letter stuffed beside the bed, which was left for him by Su Mu.

"Mo Shu, this may be the last time I call you that. Yuxi and Yizhao are serious matters. Although I can't guarantee their safety, I can try my best to divert your attention. When the two sides are facing each other, such things are the best weapon to stabilize people's hearts., If you wake up, take your things and find a chance to leave. I will pretend to escape, and their eyes will only be on me at that time, and they will definitely relax their vigilance here, and that is the best time for you to leave. "

"Sorry, if there is a chance in the future, I will apologize to you face to face. This responsibility is not yours."

He Jingxu's head buzzed, and when he rushed out the door, he learned the news of Marquis Anding's escape from the flustered palace.

He also wanted to find Su Mu, but the weight of Yuxi and the wish of Su Mu condensed on the letter made him unable to move.

He has to go back to Capital City.
