At night, the golden cup is empty and the moon falls. The beautiful building is lonely and the chrysanthemum platform is empty.
It should be covered in golden color, and half of Yanluo's cold water should be open.
She resisted such a dream and refused to allow herself to sink into it. She struggled to wake up countless times, but when she woke up, it was already the next morning. The light of spring shone through the window and into the room. The incense burner on the table was emitting a faint fragrance, and the remaining smoke curled up. When Yue Bai saw her get up, he helped her tidy up her clothes. "Miss, Mo Yan asks for half a month.”Seeing Xia Zihou only respond indifferently, he continued,"Your Highness, the enemy has hung up the exemption card and is exempted from battle for three days."”
"Is that so? Do you think this king will let him have free time to recuperate?”Xia Zihou stretched out his hands and glanced at the sunlight outside the window. Yue Bai helped her put on a purple robe and gently said," Your Highness naturally won't. Then, what does Your Highness plan to do?”
"This king has his own plan. Let's go.”Xia Zihou reached out to take the jade thumb from her hand and looked out the window. The weather was good, and she had long forgotten about the events of last night. She didn't have the time to care about those things that made her mind slightly chaotic. She subconsciously began to avoid that feeling. That feeling made her feel strange.
"Miss, the military counselor and General Feng are in the meeting hall. Deputy Zhuo is leading a team of soldiers and horses to scold the enemy at the entrance, but the enemy is not accepting the challenge.”Xia Zihou tilted her head and thought for a moment. She was clearly in a good mood. The morning sun seemed to have washed away the chill of winter, and it made her feel inexplicably better. In those years at Fangling Temple, Xia Jing had also told her that where there was sunlight, there would be happiness, because he would be her sunshine.
"Yes." Vice General Zhuo's verbal skills were top-notch. He would scold whatever was unpleasant to hear, and he would only scold those that were important to him. He could understand what was being said. Back then, Xia Zihou had taken a liking to him and made him vice general. Other than his two kitchen knives, he also had his omnipotent eloquence. He wasn't tired even if he cursed for a whole day. He could ask for advice from your great-grandson's grandson all the way to the origin of your ancestors.
"When is Mo Yan going to make it for me?”Xia Zihou had already given her half a month's time. If she didn't hand it over after half a month, Yue Moyan would probably have to live a hard life again. It was normal for him to be thrown to clean the toilet bowl or something. If it was a little more serious, he would be sent to a male brothel to be a nanny. After coming out of the male brothel, every time she saw a man, her eyes were numb. Yue Baitian was still shocked.
" This…Miss, it's very difficult to make this thing…" Yue Bai answered her words carefully, afraid that if he accidentally provoked his Miss, Yue Mo Yan would suffer again. After all, the way Yue Moyan looked at her during that period of time was terrifying.
"Oh? Was it very difficult? It's just a crossbow that can increase its shooting power." Xia Zihou replied nonchalantly, not taking Yue Baitian's careful speech to heart. The two of them chatted casually, and the soldiers who passed by along the way all gave her a small bow before continuing to do their own things.
The two people in the meeting hall saw Xia Zihou and bowed slightly. Feng Ling said to Xia Zihou," Your Highness, you came at the right time. There is an urgent letter here. It is said that it came from the Imperial City."”
"What is it? Bastard. Why are you only telling me now?" Xia Zihou hurriedly grabbed the document from Feng Ling's hands, his hands trembling slightly. He didn't even have the time to glare at Feng Ling before his gaze hurriedly landed on the letter. On it were written," Jingchan is in trouble, come quickly." Feng Ling had an innocent look on his face, but seeing that she was in a fit of anger, he did not lower himself to her level. Seeing her face change colors and finally turn gray, his heart also turned gray.
"Feng Ling, I'll leave this place to you and the military counselor. If there's anything, use the lark to send a message.”What was going on? He actually wanted to leave the battlefield on the spot?
" Your Highness, now is the time when the morale is high. If it's now…" Helian Xuan did not understand what could make her so anxious. Even her usual calm expression was no longer there. Instead, it was replaced by worry and deep fear. What was she afraid of? If she retreated now, it would be quite disadvantageous to the battlefield.
"During the day, you stay behind and act as this king.”
"Yes." Yue Bai Tian nodded. She only cared about following Xia Zihou's orders. Everything else had nothing to do with her, unless it was Xia Zihou's orders. Xia Zihou looked at Feng Ling. "Does General Feng have any objections?" Feng Ling shook his head.
"Your Highness, if there's anything, this subordinate is willing to do my best.”This was all he could do. The power of the Feng family had been mostly devoured by the late Emperor these few years. He no longer had much strength to help her. However, if it was possible, he would definitely not spare any effort to help her resolve the necessary matters.
"Alright, this king will give you 500,000 soldiers. Remember, don't let a fifth person know that she isn't this king. This king will move out later to survey the terrain.”Xia Zihou glanced at Advisor Jun, who didn't say much. He only gave her a look that told her to take care of herself. She couldn't wait any longer. She wanted to fly to his side immediately.
After leaving the meeting hall, Xia Zihou had once again become the regent with an indifferent expression. She and Yue Bai rode out of the city on their horses and headed straight for an inn. The waiter saw that the two of them had extraordinary auras, and Xia Zihou's half mask was still eye-catching, so he immediately knelt down. " I, I didn't know that Your Highness was here. I…" After the waiter knelt down, the shop owner also knelt down. The two of them trembled slightly and didn't know what to say.
"How did you know it was me?" Xia Zihou stroked the jade fingers on his hand. No wonder so many people didn't look in her direction, walking with their heads lowered. Thinking about it made him feel a little amused.
"This king isn't some man-eating monster, so what are you afraid of?”
"Does the shop owner still have rooms? Our wangye is here to make an unannounced visit. If you startle the others, it will make things difficult for wangye.”Yue Bai Tian was dressed in white and was slightly bent over as he spoke gently to the innkeeper. From time to time, he would reveal a slightly awkward expression. The innkeeper was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses and immediately asked the waiter to find a room for the two of them to serve them well. As this was a war, there weren't many people here. Therefore, there weren't many people in the inn before. There were only a few people, so Xia Zihou didn't pay much attention to them.
After returning to his room, he scanned his surroundings. The room was very clean and had a slightly different smell. The window was next to the lake, and the water on the lake had a faint unfathomable smell. There were some trees that could not be called tall around him. They were growing in twos and threes, and they had not yet grown leaves. Looking at them, they looked like hands that were reaching for food. Xia Zihou wasn't in a hurry to do anything. He sat at the table and sipped the tea that Yue Bai had brewed. The room was filled with the fragrance of tea.
"Miss, are you not in a hurry?"
"Let's begin during the day." Xia Zihou and Yue Baitian quickly changed their appearances. Yue Baitian was tall and slender, very similar to her. She would also dress up as Xia Zihou from time to time, so she was very familiar with Xia Zihou's character. Xia Zihou couldn't help but raise his finger as he stood in front of her.
"It's hard to tell if it's real or fake."
"Miss, keep this for self-defense. I refined it for a full three years. Although it can't cure all poisons, as long as it's not too powerful, it can still be cured.”Xia Zihou took the bottle from her hand and nodded. Xia Zihou knew very well that her medicine was something that many people in the world couldn't even get their hands on. However, because she always appeared in the clouds, no one could track her whereabouts.
"When I return, you must guard Cloud City. Unless it's absolutely necessary, you must not abandon the city.”
"Yes, Miss. Miss, when are you coming back?" Yue Baitian raised his head and looked at the left side of Xia Zihou's fairy-like face. His heart ached for her. She was originally a beauty that could topple a nation, but she had been completely ruined by the ugly birthmark on the right side. She saw Yue Bai's distressed gaze and reached out to touch her head. Her gaze softened slightly.
"You can go."
"Yes, Miss. Take care. I've already sent a signal to Mo Yan. She'll come and meet you as soon as possible.”Xia Zihou's trip would be very dangerous. She had to protect Yun City for her young mistress. He also sent a message to Yue Moyan, asking her to return to Xia Zihou's side as soon as possible. She wanted to return to the Imperial City secretly. At this moment, Yue Moyan was at the bottom level of the dungeon. The bottom level was filled with all kinds of hidden weapons, all kinds of excellent weapons, finished products or semi-finished products. They were all piled up in a mess. On a long table that was three meters long and two meters wide, there were all kinds of parts and equipment. Yue Moyan was studying her bow in the dark, constantly improving and testing it. Every time the bow shot an arrow in the direction of the pillar, There would be a low groan from that direction, and that person's body would be filled with arrows. She clapped her hands and pulled the lever from the chair she was sitting on. The table and chair moved further away. Her hair was messy and her originally green clothes were now black.
She got up and walked in front of that person. She patted the woman's face and smiled." Hey, you still refuse to admit that you're a spy sent by Su Qing to Yun Cheng?”
"I…I don't know anything, I won't tell you anything…B * tch, you…if you have the ability, then kill me, give me a quick death. Otherwise, when I get out, it will be your death.”The woman was stabbed until her entire body was bleeding. Her face was as pale as a piece of paper, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at her hatefully. It was as if she could cut her into pieces in the next second.
