Prince Consort

Chapter 51
Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and the cold wind from outside rushed in. Bai Zhi was blinded by the cold wind, and barely saw a black shadow walking towards her through the slits of her eyes.Bai Zhi widened her eyes warily, and saw a familiar figure: "General Mu?"

Mutusu held a sword in his hand, and the blood on the sword froze.He was out of breath, saw the chains under Bai Zhi's feet, and swung his sword to cut them off, but the chains did not budge.

Could it be that the person waiting for the palace banquet is Mu Tusu?Bai Zhixin was puzzled, but this was not the time for her to think too much, she hurriedly stopped him from swinging his sword again: "General, you leave quickly, this is a trap!"

"I came here, so I didn't intend to go back alive!" Mu Tusu swung his sword again to chop off the chains under Bai Zhi's feet.

Bai Zhi stared at Mutusu in a daze, unable to understand why he would do this!
At this moment, there was a circle of people behind him, not only Mobei soldiers, but also Nanzhao soldiers whom Bai Zhi felt familiar.What's the situation?Mobei Army and Nanzhao Army became allies?
A blush figure walked forward, with sharp eyes, although he was not in military uniform, he had the majesty of a general.Bai Zhi recognized her as the eldest princess of Nanzhao.

"General Mu, you really let me down!" Princess Nanzhao said expressionlessly as she looked at Mu Tusu.

Mu Tusu stopped his sword-wielding hand, turned around and looked at Princess Nanzhao: "Isn't it the same for Princess Nanzhao, she is in the same boat as Mo Bei!"

The eldest princess of Nanzhao paled, and snorted coldly: "I will keep my promise. You don't need to ask about this matter." Gong Yeyan, who had been wearing a hat and couldn't see the emotion, suddenly grabbed her neck and grabbed her. He hugged her chest, and said softly, "Ah Sheng, it's time to say something else! Don't be reluctant, your husband knows how to eat!"

Princess Nanzhao's cheeks were flushed, she struggled out of the palace night banquet, and said to Mu Tusu: "You chose the road, you can rest in peace under the Nine Springs." After saying that, Princess Nanzhao turned and left.

Bai Zhi couldn't understand, and looked at Mu Tusu, who just quietly watched the palace banquet left there.Gong Yeyan said: "Knowing that it's a dead end, but still coming, you must have given the Tiger Talisman to the victorious Pei Xianfeng, right?"

Pei Jiu went back?Bai Zhi was astonished, and looked at Mu Tusu. Mu Tusu's eyes flashed with astonishment, and then he said clearly: "You and Pei Jiuli should cooperate? Or are you colluding with the prince secretly?"

"I thought General Mu was a smart person, but he was just a sack who only knew the love of his children. Just now, did you see the deep love between me and A Sheng? Could it be that you and the princess of Nanzhao didn't make a decision? Promise?" He didn't say it clearly, but Mu Tusu understood that he already knew the ins and outs.

Mu Tusu chuckled: "Prince Mobei launched this war to help the third prince? I really don't know what the intention is if this move is successful."

"Jiangshan or a beauty, choose one of the two, I only want a beauty! I took the opportunity to threaten Ah Sheng, and reconcile with me. Who told her to be narrow-minded, and she must take revenge on her fellow sisters. I couldn't do it myself, so I had to fight with her." You agreed to help the third prince seize the throne as an exchange. If I continue to fight, your country will perish, and she will not be able to fulfill her promise. With her petite character, she will definitely not want to be affectionate with me. And I will use Wouldn't it be a pity to spend the rest of my life with tears in my face?" Although he couldn't see his face and his tone was mocking, Bai Zhi was sure that it was from his heart.He is an extremely twisted and sick man, but he is gentle to the princess of Nanzhao.

"So," Mutusu said, "then you tricked me into coming here and killing me, is that also one of your tricks?"

"It doesn't matter whether you die or not. It's just that I owe someone a favor, and I will repay the favor by the way. Besides, I hate you very much. Every man that Ah Sheng approves of dies."

"Then why am I not as good as you want?" Mu Tusu raised the sword in his hand, although there was a distance between the two, the sword pointed at him.

"You can try it!" Gong Yeyan looked at him with a smile.A group of soldiers behind him came up, fighting each other with swords and swords.Gong Yeyan told the soldiers: "Don't hurt the innocent." Then he left leisurely.

Bai Zhi looked at Mu Tusu with one enemy against a hundred. Although he was skilled in martial arts, he was outnumbered. His sword had no eyes.Bai Zhi wanted to step forward to help him, but her feet were chained and unable to move.

Do you want her to watch him die in front of her?After all, he came here to save her, no matter how heartless she was, she couldn't be ruthless.Why did this man come to rescue her?Knowing that they are here to die, they have long been neither relatives nor relatives, and have nothing to do with each other...

How could Bai Zhi watch Mu Tusu, who came to take risks for her, die?She raised her legs desperately, trying to get closer to him, the chains on her feet strangled her ankles, and the mottled blood stained her shoes, she roared in pain, and threw out the heavy iron ball that fettered her, knocking down A soldier, but she couldn't shake it again, and fell to the ground panting.Her actions shocked some soldiers. Mutusu looked back and rushed towards her. Seeing red blood stains on her feet, which were trembling, he cursed angrily, "Are you crazy?!"

Bai Zhi gave him a smile: "I don't want to owe favors!"

Mu Tusu pursed his lips tightly, a trace of softness appeared on his originally angry face, his eyes were full of pity, he said softly: "Silly woman."

"Be careful." Someone behind tried to sneak attack, Bai Zhi pushed Mutusu away, blocked the sword with her body, stabbed her shoulder blade, and blood gushed out.Bai Zhi's face turned pale immediately, but there was an unquestionable firmness on her face.

Whoever wants to kill Mu Tusu has to step on her corpse.

Because of Bai Zhi's injury, the soldiers looked terrified and backed away one after another, as if she was a dangerous person.Only then did Bai Zhi remember that Gong Yeyan told them not to hurt the innocent before leaving!
The innocence referred to by the Palace Yeyan, but her?Bai Zhi suddenly pulled out the dagger from Mutusu's waist, pointed at her own neck: "If you dare to move again, I will kill myself here."

Bai Zhi clearly saw that the faces of the soldiers turned pale.It seems that her guess was right.Although she didn't know why Gong Yeyan said such words as "let the tiger go back to the mountain", she must take advantage of it at this moment.Bai Zhi pulled Mu Tusu: "Use me as a hostage to blackmail them."

Mutusu was startled.

Bai Zhi looked at him firmly.

Mu Tusu clenched his fists with both hands, closed his eyes tightly, picked up the dagger in Bai Zhi's hand, and put it on her neck.Seeing this, the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, and the first soldier turned and left, believing that he had gone to the palace banquet to solve the problem.

But the palace night banquet did not arrive, the soldiers stepped forward and said to Mu Tusu: "Your Highness said, even if you leave our camp, you will not be able to go back. You can't find your way around Gobi. If you insist on going your own way, Your Highness will allow you Leave. At that time, no one will collect the corpse for you, and the corpse will be left in the wilderness, so don't blame our Highness for being unkind."

Mu Tusu sneered.Bai Zhi said, "The dry food for the camels is ready. Thank Your Highness for us."

Mutusu was startled: "Zhi'er, don't go with me."

"General, didn't you come here to save me? Since I'm already by your side, how can you abandon me?" Bai Zhi's words were sonorous, without the slightest timidity of a woman.Mu Tusu stared fixedly at Bai Zhi's frail face, and sighed for a moment, how could such a delicate and slender body be so determined, willing to live and die with him?He knew she had empathized, but he didn't expect that she would die with him.

Mu Tusu smiled lightly: "Pei Jiu is a good man, I wish you and him happiness forever."

Before Bai Zhi could regain her senses, Mutusu slashed at her with a palm.Mutusu might not forget Bai Zhi's last look at her, surprised... The surprise in his eyes seemed to be mixed with a lot of emotion, he couldn't understand it, and he didn't want to understand it.

He loved her, but he couldn't bear her to die with him.Since she doesn't have him in her heart, and the person in her heart will give her peace and quiet, he has no right to deprive her of it.He knew that marrying the little princess of Nanzhao would hurt her, but he did it anyway.Because his father kept admonishing him since he was a child that he came here to help the third prince seize the heir, he was born for the third prince, and died for the third prince, regardless of everything.He made an oath first and was destined to fail her.

That's fine too.

She loves another man and has nothing to do with him.She will not be saddened by his departure.There is no trace of him in her world, so that's fine.

Bai Zhi fell limply in Mu Tusu's arms, and he carefully placed her on the ground, and told the soldiers: "Remember to put medicine on her legs." Mu Tusu walked out of the camp without even looking at Bai Zhi.

Gong Yeyan stood by the window of the tent, watching Mu Tusu lead a camel away.A smile like a bewitching flower bloomed on the corner of his mouth, stunning and cold.Everything was as he expected, and he suddenly looked forward to the follow-up development.

If he dies, who will suffer?If he does not die, who is suffering?Looking at the painfully distorted face of the lover, Gong Yeyan suddenly felt a pleasure of revenge.Try it all, that kind of heartache that is more hateful than the heartache!He turned around with a smile and looked at the sleeping face on the bed.She was frowning, and there was unresolved sadness between her brows. Gong Yeyan smoothed the wrinkles between her brows with his hands, and her eyes were full of heartache and sadness: "Asheng, you have made me suffer for the rest of my life, but I can't bear to hurt you." How can there be such a hateful woman like you in the world?" He knew that the reason why this woman agreed to reconcile with him was not a promise to Prince Gong, she has always been a woman who treats oaths as farts!She just doesn't want the two countries to confront each other head-on, and to have a three-nation confrontation so as to control the balance.She supports the wise and talented Third Prince of Chengfu, not the idle and lecherous prince, but she wants to make the Guanghui Dynasty strong and act as their shield against Mobei.How could he not know?But in order to get her, he actually helped the tyrant to do evil!He is really not a qualified prince!
The princess of Nanzhao turned over, the quilt slipped down, her fragrant shoulders were exposed, and there were mottled hickey marks on her neck, which showed the intensity of her love just now.Looking at those hickey marks, Gong Yeyan was in a good mood and burst out laughing.He took off his coat and got into bed...

"Um……"

"Comfortable?"

"The palace banquet, enough is enough!"

If there is love in the Tao, why should you be negative?
The chains on Bai Zhi's feet were untied, and she fell asleep on a soft bed with jade pillows like a VIP.But that night, she disappeared without a trace.This was something unexpected at the Palace Night Banquet.In order to avoid changes in plans, he chose to block this news.

Five days later, Pei Jiu was in command to resist the army of Mobei, miraculously, he won more with less, causing Mobei to lose three cities in a row.Pei Jiu triumphantly returned, and the prince came out of the city to meet him, and he was very favored.Emperor Kangshun appointed Pei Jiu as a general to replace the missing Mu Tusu, and presented the number of beauties with a thousand taels of gold.

There were many happy events to be happy about, but none of them made General Pei Jiu smile.It is known that he lost his newlywed wife in this battle, even if the emperor gifted him a beauty, he couldn't get the Bai Zhi he wanted in exchange.He sent many people to the Gobi to find her whereabouts, but there was no news of them all.

As the days passed, his heart became heavier and heavier, and he became more and more restless.

"Jiuye, Qiye vomited blood again!" The servant rushed to the study and reported to Pei Jiu who was at his desk.Pei Jiu immediately put down the brush in his hand, rushed out of the study, and ran towards Pei Qi's residence.Pei Qi sat on the bed, closed her eyes and meditated.His face was pale, and there was still blood left at the corner of his mouth.The doctor was taking his pulse, he shook his head calmly, put his hands back under the quilt, got up and left.

Pei Jiu followed, and the two stood outside the door with solemn faces.

"I think it's only been two or three days for Master Qi." The doctor told the truth to Pei Jiu quite sentimentally.

Pei Jiu nodded solemnly.He was already mentally prepared.When he returned to Beijing, old General Pei committed suicide. Pei Qi was infected with a foot injury and suffered from many diseases. The doctor had sentenced him to death, and he was ready.Count the time, it's the end!

The doctor said again: "Jiu Ye, although there is a trend of getting warmer recently, you still have to pay attention to keeping out the cold. Your cold poison is not mild, so you need to pay more attention to prevent the condition from getting worse."

"Thank you, Doctor Wang, for reminding me." Pei Jiu nodded yes.

After seeing Doctor Wang away, Pei Jiu's heart sank like a huge rock, and he couldn't breathe under the pressure... as if he was afraid of his own doomsday.Thinking of Bai Zhi, Pei Jiu felt sad and laughed bitterly at herself.His Zhi'er, is he still alive?
A few days later, Pei Jiu received a letter, and when he opened it and read it, he was immediately overjoyed.He immediately asked the steward to prepare the horse, took a few followers, and went out of the city in person.

Who is it that can invite the general and make the general smile?The answer is ready to come out, his Zhi'er.

When Pei Jiu saw Bai Zhi's disheveled face, pale lips, and tattered clothes in Shilipo, he was shocked.Bai Zhi sat on the horse, behind Mu Tusu who was dying.How are they together?
Bai Zhi cried and looked at Pei Jiu: "Ah Jiu, save him, he is dying!"

It was only later that Pei Jiu found out what the two of them had experienced in the desert.The first thing Bai Zhi did when she woke up was to look for Mu Tusu. She took advantage of the dead of night and when the palace banquet was not on guard, she stole a horse and went to look for Mu Tusu.He was wounded and bleeding profusely. If he left like this, he would definitely die.
