Chapter 317
"Kill him?" Zheng Huiyuan was taken aback, and said, "But... I was also tied up."

"Li Xia is going to take us away in the evening." Duan Xingzhi said: "He searched for my golden talisman, but he didn't know that he needed another talisman to walk the spiritual pass. Where did you receive the token? They will untie it for you to find, you wait until Li Xia comes over..."

He stretched his head and said, "Did you see the fifth brick in front of the house door? When Li Xia walks there, you can shoot him by pushing the hidden grid. The arrow is poisoned, and you can kill him when you see blood His life is bound to die."

Suddenly tears fell from Zheng Huiyuan's eyes, she murmured with tears in her eyes: "But in this way...they will kill Mr. Lang, right?"

Duan Xingzhi let out a wry laugh, and murmured: "All these years, my subjects thought that I, Duan Xingzhi, was greedy for life and afraid of death. But you know, I surrendered not for my own sake, but for Duan's.

Li Xia killed Wuliang Taihe, who was Ashu's life and death enemy. If I helped him leave, Ashu would be furious, and the Duan clan would be killed; moreover, Li Xia married the Gao clan, and he would become the Duan clan in the future. enemy.

In short, this son must be removed.I am not afraid of death, but I will definitely not bring the disaster of extermination to the Duan family.This is my only wish before I die.After this matter is over, I will be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks with you... Hui Niang, can you help me? "

The tears in Zheng Huiyuan's eyes grew stronger, and she cried, "Okay."

At this moment, she was extremely sad.

In fact, she could see clearly that Duan Xingzhi himself could push through that hidden space and shoot Li Xia.

However, Duan Xingzhi didn't want to do it himself, he still wanted to survive.

After she shot Li Xia, Li Xia's subordinates must have been enraged and killed her.

But they need Duan Xingzhi to leave the border of Dali. They have to take the Lingguan Road, and there are still many barriers on the road... In short, they may temporarily let Duan Xingzhi go.

Zheng Huiyuan could also see that without the extremely calm Li Xia, it was impossible for those Song people to escape from Dali.As long as the road is entangled by a defender, more and more troops can surround it.

At that time, Duan Xingzhi may not have a chance to survive...

After years of love, Zheng Huiyuan thought that she was the only one who understood Duan Xingzhi.Understand his pain, understand his grievances, and believe that he bowed his knees to rule the people.

She firmly believes that her husband is not a person who lives in vain.Even if all the people in Dali Kingdom were unbearably plundered and their lives were extremely miserable, she still believed that it was Duan Xingzhi who kept them from falling into a more miserable situation.

Even if these are all fake.She also thought... at least his feelings for her were true.

Believe that the emperor has true feelings?Do you believe in the emperor's sincerity?
Zheng Huiyuan thought to this point, and murmured: "Don't worry, I will push the hidden compartment according to what you said... to fulfill my lord."

"Huiniang." Duan Xingzhi's eyes were also red, and he said in a low voice: "In my life, I have owed my ancestors and the common people, only you... only you..."

"I am so happy...to be able to die with my husband...so happy..."

When the two of them said this, Xu Tuopiao pushed the door open and came in, scolding: "This time I will give you another dose of medicine. But General Bai said, if you dare to talk too much, I will burn your wound directly!"

"Thank you strong man..."

~~
In the afternoon, Li Xia walked through the backyard and saw Gao Mingyue and Asha were sitting on the swing chatting.

Gao Mingyue usually doesn't talk much, but for friends like Han Qiaoer and Asha, she can talk quite well.

Li Xia was standing behind them, watching Gao Mingyue sway slightly while holding on to the swing rope with both hands, and listening to her chirping quietly.

"My mother used to raise several cats in this courtyard, some in different colors and some in white... One of them was very timid, even when the tiles were blown off by the wind. When I’m scared, the pupils get bigger and turn black.”

Asha did not speak, but she was not impatient, and listened quietly.

Gao Mingyue whispered again: "There used to be an apricot tree over there. My mother used it to make peach gum and apply it on her face, which can make her face white. Peach gum, snow swallow, and saponin rice are the three treasures of beauty in Dali. And there , I originally planted a lot of herbs, all of which were used to wipe my face."

"I know, I saw the bletilla striata."

"You really understand these things, right?" Gao Mingyue tapped the ground with her toes to stop the swing, pointed to her cheek, and said in distress, "Auntie, look at me, I have a red spot."

Her movements were quite beautiful, and Ashahim couldn't help but smile a little imperceptibly on her face, but said in a flat tone: "This is acne, I'll just rub it on you with some herbal medicine."

"Well, I haven't washed my face well in the past few years. It's troublesome to grow something. By the way, what do you usually use to wipe your face?"

Asha thought for a while, and said, "Pluto is behind us."

"what?"

Gao Mingyue seemed to be frightened, and let out a soft cry.

She turned her head and saw Li Xia, quickly lowered her head, regained her demure look, got up and asked, "Huh? Are you done with your work?"

"Almost." Li Xia said: "In more than an hour, the laborers will load the food and grass. We can take Duan Xingzhi away."

"I asked someone to prepare hot water, would you like to take a bath?"

Gao Mingyue has already washed it, and although she is still wearing a more convenient military robe, she looks white and clean, very pleasant.

Li Xia couldn't help but look at her twice.

"Alright."

"Will you sleep for a while later? You haven't slept since last night. I prepared a room for you, and the bucket has been placed in it."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

The two naturally walked down the corridor holding hands.

Gao Mingyue lowered her eyebrows and looked down, she didn't speak for a while.

What she prepared for Li Xia was her former boudoir, which is now lived by a younger sister of Duan Xingzhi, and Duan Xingzhi's daughter was temporarily driven elsewhere.

Li Xia asked suddenly: "It seems that you have more things to talk about with Qiaoer and Asha?"

"No way."

"I'm getting a little jealous."

"Huh?" Gao Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then said shamelessly, "I...I...you are not jealous."

Li Xia gave a rare smile and said, "If we have time in the future, we should chat about trivial things like that."

"You are a person who does great things." Gao Mingyue replied.

At the end, she added softly: "Besides, I don't dare."

"Afraid of me?"

While talking, the two pushed open the door and entered the room.

Gao Mingyue said: "Well... I'm afraid you think I'm annoying."

"No." Li Xia hugged her.

Gao Mingyue panicked and wanted to escape, but in the end she couldn't, so she blushed in Li Xia's arms.

"It's hard to bring you back, but it's a pity that we can't stay long, and it's a pity that we can't really take your home back." Li Xia said.

Gao Mingyue was still pushing Li Xia, but she was stunned for a moment when she heard this sentence, and hugged him.

Although she didn't speak, she looked at Li Xia obsessively, with a lot of feelings in her mouth.

a long time.

"You take a break, I'm going out first..."

After Gao Mingyue left the house, she couldn't help but look back again. She stopped there and listened to the sound of water in the house, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

Asha was standing on the corridor, and asked lightly, "Do you want to peek at him?"

"Huh? I didn't..."

Gao Mingyue was halfway through talking, when she met Asha's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, she stopped talking and did not speak anymore.

She sat down in the corridor, staring at the room where Li Xia was in a daze.

These years have been up and down, and now it's hard to stay by Li Xia's side, but the war continues.From the bottom of her heart, she also hoped that the two of them could settle down and live a life of..."ears and temples together".

This idiom popped into her mind, Gao Mingyue tapped her head lightly, cursing herself inwardly.

~~
Li Xia only woke up after squinting for half an hour.

After several days of sleep deprivation, he also felt a little tired.But he still brought Gao Mingyue and Asha to the front yard to make arrangements to leave Dali City.

In the evening, Xiongshan came back to report that the food and grass had been loaded on the mules and horses, and everything was ready.

"Let's go. Go and get Duan Xingzhi out."

After a while, Xu Tupiao ran over and reported: "County Captain, Duan Xingzhi said that one of his talismans is missing, and that he needs to use it to cross the Spirit Gate. The villain is looking for it."

"Tag?"

Xu Tupiao scratched his head, and said, "I don't understand much, either."

Li Xia asked a Dali official to ask, and he probably understood that the Lingguan Road is not all in Dali, even if Duan Xingzhi wants to go north to meet him, he also needs a pass card.

So he got up and walked to the room where Duan Xingzhi was detained, followed by several people behind him.

When he arrived at the main house, he saw several Qingfu soldiers standing in the house. Duan Xingzhi's rope had been untied, and he was huddled there obediently, flipping through his pockets.

Zheng Huiyuan was rummaging in the house.

"Li Xianwei, it's really not that I'm disobedient. The card talisman was kept by my concubine's room, and I forgot where it was put, and I can find it right away..."

Li Xia stared into Duan Xingzhi's eyes and frowned.

Duan Xingzhi was startled and lowered his head.

Strange to say, he was nearly forty years old, and he was once the emperor of a country, but somehow he couldn't stand Li Xia's scrutinizing gaze, and he became timid, with fear in his eyes.

"You have something to hide from me." Li Xia said, drawing out his sword while speaking, and slowly stepped forward.

As he walked, he surveyed the room.

One step, two steps...

Duan Xingzhi trembled a little, and secretly glanced at Li Xia's footsteps.

Zheng Huiyuan didn't tremble at all, she turned her back to everyone, reached out and stroked the wall, and touched the hidden space.

"Ah." Duan Xingzhi suddenly called out softly.

He saw that Li Xia had stepped onto the fifth brick.

Zheng Huiyuan closed her eyes, stretched out her hand and pushed hard to open the hidden compartment.

A "click" sound.

"Swish, swish" three sharp arrows shot straight out...
