Chapter 199 The Return of the God of War
Hearing Yu Ruyan suddenly ask about the past, Yue Yu was very surprised——

Because in the letter Mu Lingzhi wrote to him, he clearly told him that Yu Ruyan did not recover her memory, and he knew that the battle with Sima Rong Valley this time was more ominous than good, so in order to prevent himself from dying in the valley, let him Yu Ruyan was sad, and Mu Lingzhi asked Yue Yu to continue to hide the past between him and Yu Ruyan for him!

Just like the ending of the story of the third prince and the fifth princess he told Yu Ruyan in the valley, Mu Lingzhi would rather that Yu Ruyan hated him than that she would remember everything and couldn't accept her own death, so that she would be sad for the rest of her life ...

Yue Yu looked at Yu Ruyan with a tangled mood, and asked hesitantly: "You...do you remember the past?"

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan shook her head sadly, and said sadly: "No, I still haven't thought about the past, but when I was in the valley, Ling Zhi told me the story of the third prince and the fifth princess. Later, I I can see with my eyes, see everything around me, plus the assassination incident, I suddenly realized that maybe he is the third prince in the story, and I am the fifth princess who got married, and the story he told is The story between him and me..."

Seeing her grief, Yue Yu was also sad in his heart, and he who knew the truth felt even more grief in his heart, he still couldn't tell her the truth, and had to hide it from her——

In fact, after learning about Mu Lingzhi's accident from the secret guard, he immediately sent people to the valley to inquire about the news.

Although he also knew that after seven days, everything was a foregone conclusion.But he didn't want to give up, and tried his best to go to the valley to find Mu Lingzhi. Whether it was dead or alive, he had to investigate clearly, which could be regarded as finding an answer for Yu Ruyan.

The people he sent rushed to the valley day and night, but at noon today, he received the news from his subordinates.

And the moment he heard the news, his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave——

His subordinates reported that the valley where Mu Lingzhi was located had become a purgatory on earth. Inside, apart from the traces of the fire, there were dead people everywhere...

According to the villagers who lived at the foot of the mountain, that night, the entire mountain was on fire, and the fire continued to burn until the evening of the next day before the embers were extinguished, and the water in the stream flowing down the mountain was stained red with blood. , it's full of blood...

The villagers didn't dare to go up the mountain to see it, but after the incident, some people saw that a part of Wei's people had evacuated the valley and left...

After the people of Wei finally left, they did not see Mu Lingzhi and the hidden guard. Therefore, in other words, Mu Lingzhi never came out in the valley, but in that valley, there was no one there. living beings exist...

Thinking of this, Yue Yu was heartbroken. In his heart, Mu Lingzhi was his confidant and brother. They shared the same belief and admiration. Ruyan and Ruyan could not avoid the estrangement, but the sympathy and confidanty still made his heart ache unbearably...

Therefore, the current Yue Yu is also very sad and extremely embarrassed.Not only did he want to hide Yu Ruyan's previous memories for him as Mu Lingzhi asked in the letter.The news of Mu Lingzhi's death in the valley must also be concealed!
On this side, Yue Yu was sad about Mu Lingzhi in his heart, but Yu Ruyan thought of the ending of the story Mu Lingzhi told her last, and thought that the two of them were going to part in the end. I couldn't help crying, and wept bitterly: "Brother Da Da, tell me the truth, did something happen to Ling Zhi? Why hasn't there been any news about him for so long... so many bad guys want to kill him, what should he do alone?" ?”

She was extremely emotional. At this time, Yue Yu didn't dare to tell her the news in the valley, but said: "There is no news about him yet, so don't think too much, I think... his martial arts Looking at the world, no one can match it, it should...it should be fine..."

When he said these words, Yue Yu was also saddened in his heart.Moreover, he was still worried, now that the Great Wei's strong army is in the front line, and there is no Mu Lingzhi in the main beam, what should we do?
Besides, he also knew that if Yu Ruyan could be deceived by these words for a while, she would not be able to deceive her for a lifetime. If she remembered everything in the future and learned of Mu Lingzhi's death, it would be even more painful...

At this moment, the maid served the soup, Yue Yu quickly changed the subject and fed her the medicine...

Although Yu Ruyan had always been curious about what the Qingyun Villa looked like with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, now that she is back here, her eyesight is better.But he was not in the mood, thinking about what happened to Mu Lingzhi every day, but he survived the terrible assassination that night?Will you come to the villa to pick yourself up?

After recovering from her illness, she stood at the gate of Zhuangzi every day, waiting and looking forward to Mu Lingzhi riding a tall horse to pick her up.

She thought, if he could come back safely this time, she would definitely not dislike or dislike him so much.She will definitely go with him happily, wherever he goes, she will follow him, she will obediently eat all the dishes he cooks, and she will not drive him out of bed if he wants to sleep next to her, let alone She will guard him like a wolf, and she will not care about his identity or whether she is a married princess, as long as he is Mu Lingzhi, she is willing to go with him everywhere...

However, she stood at the gate of Zhuangzi every day, looking forward to the rising of the sun, watching the setting of the sun, and she didn't know how many suns she had been looking forward to, but in the end she never saw the figure she was looking forward to... …

The twelve pairs of sugar figurines that Mu Lingzhi brought out together in her luggage were soaked in the river water, some of them were melted, some were broken, and it was impossible to find a single intact sugar figurine...

But even so, Yu Ruyan was always reluctant to lose her. During the day, she waited and looked forward to Mu Lingzhi at the gate of Zhuangzi, and at night, when she returned to her room, she guarded a bunch of broken sugar figurines, as if they were her last thoughts and reliance.

As long as she looked at them, she kept insisting that Mu Lingzhi was not dead. If he didn't come to Zhuangzi to pick her up, there must be some delay. When he finished his work, he would definitely come back...

Seeing that she was so sad every day, Yue Yu was very worried about her, and in order to make her happy, he specially invited a skilled sugar figure master from the foot of the mountain to make another sugar figure for her in the shape of the broken twelve pairs of sugar figures. The intact twelve sugar figures.

But no matter how good the craftsmanship of the sugar figurine master is, and no matter how good-looking the re-made sugar figurine is, Yu Ruyan can't help but like it in her heart.

A voice from the bottom of her heart told her that these twelve pairs of sugar figurines are unique in the world and cannot be replaced by imitation...

Finally, after waiting at Zhuangzi's gate for more than a month, Yu Ruyan's panic became more and more uncontrollable, and even those self-deceiving words could no longer make her feel at ease.

So, she told Yue Yu that she was going to leave Zhuangzi and go to the valley to find Mu Lingzhi.

True to her word, Yu Ruyan immediately packed her things and went down the mountain.

She insisted on leaving, but Yue Yu couldn't stop her, so he had to go down the mountain with her.

But when Kankan came to the foot of the mountain, he realized that the world is in total chaos!
Half a month ago, Great Wei had officially launched a war against Daliang, and in order to disturb the morale of Daliang's army, the news of Prince Ling's murder, which King Liang had worked so hard to hide, spread to the world.

For a while, Daliang's army was lacking in morale, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and for a while, Dawei even went down to five cities.

In an instant, the entire Daliang was panicked, and everyone was saying that without Mu Lingzhi, the God of War in Daliang, they might not be able to escape the wolves of Wei this time...

People all over the street were talking about the death of the third prince Mu Ling, those words were like the most poisonous needles in the world, piercing Yu Ruyan's scarred heart.She went down the mountain full of hope to find Mu Lingzhi, but she didn't expect that when she arrived at the foot of the mountain, she learned that Mu Lingzhi had died in the valley. I couldn't hold it anymore, my eyes went dark, and I fell in the middle of the road...

During this period of time, her body was already extremely weak, she couldn't eat or sleep, and she thought about Mu Lingzhi every day, even though she knew that after so many days, he hadn't come to Qingyun Villa to pick her up, it must be something bad or bad.

But she didn't hear the news of his death for a day, and Yu Ruyan kept holding on to the last glimmer of hope.Now, the last glimmer of hope is shattered, how can she bear such a blow?

When she woke up again, she returned to Qingyun Villa.

Yue Yu stood by her side, seeing her wake up, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and the expression on his face was even more sad...

Yu Ruyan woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she remembered the news of Mu Lingzhi's death, and her heart was filled with grief...

From then on, she lost all hope and refused to eat or drink, even the medicine Yue Yu prescribed for her.

After Yue Yu sent her back to the mountain, he went down the mountain immediately, as if he was busy with something.

Before going down the mountain, he told the people in the Zhuangzi to take good care of Yu Ruyan and not let her leave the Zhuangzi again.

Three days later, Yue Yu came back with a tired face.After hearing the maidservant's report that Yu Ruyan hadn't eaten for three days, she felt anxious, and before she had time to rest, she rushed to Yu Ruyan's room to see her.

At that time, it was lunch time, but the things on the table did not move, and Yu Ruyan was not even willing to sit in front of the table.

She hasn't eaten for several days, and now she vomits when she sees what she eats, her expression is becoming more and more sluggish, and she has lost a lot of weight!

When Yue Yu entered, she was leaning on the soft couch away from the dining table, her eyes were sunken, she was very weak and haggard!

Seeing her like this, Yue Zi felt anxious, and hurried forward, took her hand to feel her pulse without saying a word, but she withdrew her hand back.

There was no longer any light in the twinkling eyes, and there was a look of despair inside. She said sadly and desperately: "Brother Bigger, don't worry about my body anymore. Now, I wish I could die sooner. So that I can pay my husband's life!"

After hearing the news of Mu Lingzhi's death.In addition to her reluctant feelings for him, Yu Ruyan also has deep self-blame towards him——

She knew that if it wasn't for saving her that night, with Mu Lingzhi's skills, he could have killed himself and survived.

However, in the end, for her, he was willing to lose his life...

Every time she thinks of this, she can't help but recall in her heart, during those short and unforgettable days in the valley, his loving care for her, his deep love and nostalgia for her...

She will never forget, when her eyes regained her sight, she saw him crouching in front of her with blood on his face, worrying about his concern for being frightened; she would never forget his busy figure in the kitchen; Looking at the warmth and tranquility when I sat under the lamp and mended clothes...

Tears rolled down again without warning, Yu Ruyan really felt that God was too cruel to her, when she was already attached to Mu Lingzhi and the rare peace and tranquility with him, the old man The sky took him away from her again, it was too cruel to her, how could she bear it...

She refused to let Yue Yu take her own pulse, and cried bitterly: "Brother Da Yue, I can't live anymore. My husband is dead, he died for me, what face do I have to live in this world..."

"If you can't survive, you have to live!"

Seeing her loveless appearance, Yue Yu felt a pain in his heart, and interrupted her with a deep voice, his expression was serious and dignified that she had never seen before.

Before she could speak, he took her hand persistently again, and took her pulse seriously.

After taking his pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief, his clear eyes firmly looked at Yu Ruyan with a gloomy face, and he said in a deep voice——

"Even if you don't live by yourself, you have to live well for the child in your belly! He——is the only blood left by Ling Zhi!"

Yue Yu's soft voice has the power to calm people's hearts, and what he said made Yu Ruyan's whole body shake!
After listening to his words, Yu Ruyan was in extreme shock for a quarter of an hour and did not recover.

She looked at her flat belly in disbelief. She never expected that there was her and Mu Lingzhi's child there!

With trembling hands, she lightly touched her stomach. She looked at Yue Yu with wide teary eyes in disbelief, and said urgently in a trembling voice: "Brother Da Yue, am I really pregnant? I... I have Ling Yu in my stomach." His flesh and blood?"

This news hit her heart like a torrential wave, Yu Ruyan's tears fell down like broken threads again, her heart was full of grief, sadness, and excitement——

If, if it was because of that night that she became pregnant with Ling Zhi's flesh and blood, then it was God who pitied her misery and Ling Zhi's untimely death.

God is sorry to see that after his death, he left the only blood for him.Therefore, she desperately wanted to give birth to him properly.Even if this poor child is born without a father, she must raise him well by herself.

Just for a moment, her previous state of being unloved no longer existed.

Now, there is only one thought in her mind, and that is - no matter what, she must give birth to this child and raise him well, so that Mu Lingzhi's spirit in heaven can also rest in peace.

Thinking of not eating or drinking for the past few days, she couldn't help but panic and fear, and quickly stretched out her hand in front of Yue Yu again, and said anxiously: "Brother Da Yue, help me take a good look, I haven't eaten for the past few days, Is there a child who is hungry? Does it affect him?"

Yue Yu saw that she had regained her vitality in an instant, he breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, and said with a light smile, "The baby is fine, but you have to eat well in the future. I will prescribe you some anti-abortion medicine, and remember to keep it on time. Take it. And—”

He looked at her haggard look, and sighed: "Eating during pregnancy is important, but the most important thing is that your mood should be stable. Don't be too sad, and don't think too much!"

After hearing this, Yu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded silently in response, walked to the table and picked up chopsticks to eat!

But she is in the early stages of pregnancy, and it is also the time when the pregnancy reaction is the greatest, so even if she wants to eat more, she can look at the table full of meals, and she has just eaten two mouthfuls, but she is already throwing up earth-shakingly, throwing up her face. blue...

……

From then on, Yu Ruyan obeyed Yue Yu's words and calmed down to raise her baby in Qingyun Villa. Even when she thought of Mu Ling, she couldn't help but shed tears, but thinking of Yue Yu's advice to her, it was also true. He gritted his teeth and endured it.

While Yue Yu took care of her, he also kept an eye on the continuous war between Daliang and Wei!

After the great Wei was in full swing and captured ten cities at Daliang Border Pass in one fell swoop, the King of Liang was shocked, disregarding the dissuasion of his ministers, he personally put on his clothes and marched to the battle.

This move boosted the morale very well. Once the soldiers of Daliang returned to the bravery they had when Mu Lingzhi led the troops, they successfully stopped Da Wei from continuing to advance, and blocked Da Wei's cavalry at the last important border city of Daliang. cool city.

Liangcheng is the last important city at Daliang Border Pass. The terrain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

But Liangcheng is also Daliang's last natural danger. As long as Dawei captures it, it will completely open the last door to Daliang.The territory of Daliang to be taken over is flat, and there is no natural danger that can stop Da Wei's iron cavalry.

Therefore, if Wei was allowed to capture Liangcheng, with their powerful cavalry, they would be able to attack the capital of Daliang, Dongdu, in just ten days!
The new emperor of Daliang, Mu Chenzhi, of course understood the benefits and disadvantages, so he used all the troops in Daliang to defend Liangcheng.

Sima Rong, the general of the Great Wei, also continued to gather the troops of the Great Wei to Liangcheng...

For a while, the soldiers and horses of the two sides confronted each other inside and outside Liangcheng, just waiting for the final battle to the death!

But in the final battle, neither side dared to act in vain.

Dawei was not sure enough to capture Liangcheng, and Daliang had no way to expel the wolves, tigers and leopards who broke into his house. For a while, the two sides could only stay in a stalemate...

Unknowingly, the verdant green on Qingyun Mountain gradually turns yellow, the heat dissipates, and the autumn wind blows the fallen leaves. In a blink of an eye, autumn is here!
Looking at the withered and yellow fallen leaves in the courtyard, Yu Ruyan suddenly realized that she had stayed in Qingyun Villa for more than four months, and the child in her womb had also passed the most dangerous first three months. It's been four months, and my lower abdomen is also slightly bulging.

The maid came into the room and saw her standing at the window staring at the fallen leaves, she couldn't help laughing and said: "If you want to see the fallen leaves, my maid will help you to go to the back mountain to have a look, the maple leaves there are almost turning red!"

Ever since her belly became pregnant, Yu Ruyan didn't like to go out very much, she often just walked around her yard.

Because, from the first time she was brought back to Qingyun Villa by Yue Yu, everyone in the village spontaneously regarded her as Mrs. Yue.But now seeing that she is pregnant, coupled with Yue Yu's inseparable care, it makes people misunderstand that the child in her belly is the head of the family.

Yu Ruyan doesn't like the feeling of being misunderstood, and she doesn't like people misunderstood that the child in her belly is Yue Yu's, but she can't explain to others one by one, so after she became pregnant, she simply didn't go out , Stay in your own small yard, sometimes just sit for a day.

Yue Yu went down the mountain more and more frequently these days.Although he kept it from her and didn't tell her, she also knew that what he was worried about was the war between Daliang and Wei.And after listening to Zhuangzi's steward accidentally leaking the truth, Yu Ruyan knew that Yue Yu used two-thirds of the Yue family's financial resources to support the army's salary in order to finance Daliang's war...

Everyone in Zhuangzi regretted that so much property of the Yue family was wiped out like this.But Yu Ruyan agrees with Yue Yu's approach, they have the same idea, if there is no country, then there is a home? !
Yu Ruyan shook her head lightly and rejected the maidservant's invitation.Seeing her dull silence, the servant girl remembered Yue Yu's order, so she tried her best to provoke her to talk, and couldn't help saying: "Girl, I heard that the battle of Liangcheng is going to start soon, and the son I'm afraid I went down the mountain to find out the news. If there is a fight, our Qingyun Mountain is so close to Liangcheng, we don't know if we should move away?"

Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Big Brother will naturally arrange these. You don't have to worry!"

After that, she walked back to the table, picked up the needles and threads in the sewing basket, and began to make clothes.

These children's clothes are of course made for the children in their womb.However, every time she picks up a needle and thread, she can't help but think of what she said to Mu Lingzhi when she was in the valley that day when she sat under the lamp and sewed clothes for him——

She said that she would learn how to be a female celebrity in the future, and make more clothes for him in the future...

The scene at that time seemed to happen yesterday, and in the past few months, her female celebrity has also made great progress, but the person she wanted to make clothes for him is gone...

The eye sockets became moist again, Yu Ruyan picked up the needle and thread to carefully embroider the pattern on the little bellyband, but her eyes couldn't stop falling drop by drop.

Seeing this, the maidservant at the side knew that she was thinking about the father of the child in her womb.

Thinking of her becoming a widow at a young age, and having to take care of a child alone in the future, even though she has the help of her son-in-law, these things are still extremely heavy and sad for a woman...

Thinking of this, the servant girl couldn't help but feel sorry for Yu Ruyan, handed her a silk handkerchief to wipe her tears, and persuaded softly: "Miss, don't be sad, the young master said, you are so sad and depressed, it is not good for the child."

After finishing speaking, he took the needle and thread from her hand, helped her to walk to the bed, and said: "Young lady didn't sleep well last night, you'd better lie down for a while, and let the slaves do the work."

Yu Ruyan didn't want her to worry, let alone Yue Yu, wiped her eyes according to what she said, and told her: "Don't tell your son what I just cried, he is now bothering about the war in Daliang. I'm exhausted, and I don't want him to worry about me anymore."

The maid obediently responded, and said, "Miss, don't worry, I just don't need to tell the young master. Go to sleep at ease!"

Yu Ruyan closed her eyes tiredly, and fell into a drowsy sleep...

In her sleep, Yu Ruyan dreamed of Mu Lingzhi for the first time!
In the long days when news of his death came, she never dreamed of him once.However, I didn't expect that after such a long time, I saw him in a dream today!

The Mu Lingzhi in the dream was the last time she saw him by the stream in the valley——

With scars and blood stains all over his body, he fought the enemy bravely with red eyes, and the fire light all over the mountain reflected his blood-stained silver armor red...

Yu Ruyan couldn't help but shouted at him, she said, Ling Zhi, run away, I'm pregnant with your child, I don't want you to die, I don't want my child to be born without a father, hurry up Run for your life, don't try your best...

Mu Lingzhi seemed to have heard her words, and turned his head to give her a doting smile. His handsome eyebrows and eyes were as tender as water under the firelight, so beautiful!

However, the next moment, before he had time to speak to her, countless scimitars slashed at his body, blood sprayed out, his body fell straight into the stream like a kite with a broken string, and the blood on his body instantly wiped The stream is dyed red...

Watching him fall, she was distraught with grief.It was obvious that his body was rushed past her by the water, she wanted to reach out and grab him, but she couldn't, and watched him being washed away further and further by the stream...

She cried out in despair and grief, and swam desperately towards him, but she could not catch up to him even though she could reach him by just reaching out, which made her collapse in despair...

"Yanyan, wake up!"

When Yue Yu came back from the mountain, he had just stepped into Yu Ruyan's room when he heard her crying in despair, but when he got closer, he realized that she was crying in a dream!
Seeing the pillow cover wet with tears, and the tear stains on her pale face, Yue Yu felt a pain in his heart.

He stepped forward to hold her cold hand tightly, and gently patted her cheek to wake her up from the nightmare.

Yu Ruyan who woke up stared blankly at Yue Yu in front of her with wide teary eyes, and it took a long time before she came out of the dream of grief and despair.

Thinking of what she saw in her dream just now, Yu Ruyan felt pain in her heart, gritted her teeth to hold back the tears, she lowered her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Da Da, I... I dreamed of Ling Zhi!"

Hearing this, Yue Yu was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but think of the news he got when he went down the mountain this time, his heart was filled with excitement, and a light flashed in his clear eyes——

After guarding outside Liangcheng for several months, Sima Rong of the Great Wei finally mobilized all the troops of the Great Wei, and formally issued a letter of war to Daliang!

At dawn tomorrow, the two countries will officially go to war.

Such news should have caused him the most anxiety.However, today he received a carrier pigeon released by the big shopkeeper of the Yue family who was doing business in Dawei.

When watching the news brought back by the carrier pigeon, Yue Yu was completely stunned!
The news from Great Wei's shopkeeper told him that when Great Wei mobilized all his forces to attack Daliang Liangcheng, the little-known Da Qi suddenly and quietly launched a surprise attack on the empty-nest Great Wei State. On this day, he attacked the imperial city of Wei and captured the old emperor who was still sleeping in Wei at that time.

And the big shopkeeper also wrote in the letter that Da Qi led the army is the young general Chen Yiqing of Da Qi!

However, Da Qi's vanguard army rushed into the Great Wei Palace like an extremely sharp off-string arrow, and captured the old emperor alive, but it was Prince Liang Ling who was rumored to have died in the valley—Mu Lingzhi!
