Although the Fuzhou soldiers were defeated in a row, the spies heard news that the enemy camp seemed to have taken action again in the past few days. Li Liang seemed to be unwilling to admit defeat.

He can't afford to lose. If there is another battle, he will definitely be full of action. Therefore, Yunmeng City is preparing for war without any slacking off.

Not only that, Mu Fulan quickly agreed to the combat plan proposed by Yuan Handing. Instead of keeping passive defense, it is better to launch a sudden attack while the opponent was not ready and catch him off guard, so as to completely dismantle the opponent's main force. He was secretly preparing for action. Early this morning, the spy heard another news, saying that last night, he saw the enemy camp deporting the camp overnight and retreating northward.

The next day, all the troops were removed. The plain where the camp was originally camped was empty, leaving only the dilapidated tents left by the Fuzhou soldiers before they left.

Fuzhou retreated.

For the people and soldiers of Changsha, the experience of the past six months has brought them a huge impact, which is unprecedented in the past two hundred years, and is not an exaggeration.

After that brief pride and honor, they broke with the distant court in a passive manner, were pronounced as rebellious, lost their king, and once again the war descended to the border of Changsha without any concealment.

When confusion, panic and at a loss of people's hearts spread, this victory was like pushing away the sun exposed by dark clouds, and the light emitted, driving away the haze that had previously shrouded Changsha.

They lost the king, but were not abandoned. The regent of the Mu family, Wengzhu, stood up and continued to protect them like her father and grandfather.

On this day, cheers were heard one after another in the cloud dream.

In the military camp outside the city, soldiers who were celebrating each other's victory were seen appearing.

Shortly after the war started, she came here. In addition to supervising the battle, she personally led the military doctor and some palace women who had been taught by her to treat the wounded soldiers sent from the battlefield in the wounded barracks.

At this moment, their noble and beautiful master came to the barracks in a chariot and dressed up under the escort of a team of warriors with distinctive armor.

She climbed up to the platform, held up the wine glass with both hands, and toasted the countless soldiers lined up in a square array, thanking them for their previous bloodshed and sacrifices to be loyal to the Mu royal family and protect the Changsha Kingdom.

"I Mu Fulan, at this moment, I swear to you with the heroic spirits of the previous kings of my Mu family, that whenever an enemy comes again, I will be with you!"

"If you don't retreat, I will never leave you if you admire Fulan! We will share the same progress and retreat, and good fortune and misfortune!"

The bright and profound sound is sonorous and powerful, expanding with the wind.

The messengers under the high platform also quickly spread thousands of times, spreading her words to every corner.

In the wilderness, the cold wind rustled, and the young soldiers who had just come down from the battlefield were all excited. Every drop of blood flowing in their blood vessels was surging, urging them to respond to her impatiently.

No one is born to be fond of war, but if he is destined to fight, who would not want to protect their noble and moving regent?

Yuan Handing looked up at Mu Fulan on the platform under the high platform, his eyes unblinking.

At this moment, his heart was filled with stirring and contradictory feelings.

I don’t know when she will no longer be the familiar prince Mu Fulan who grew up with him since childhood.

A voice in my heart told him that she was getting further and further away from her.

But his loss was soon replaced by another swelling emotion.

He was willing to surrender, kneel at her feet, be her warrior, and use the sword in his hand to protect her today's nobility and beauty, even if he gave his life, he would do whatever he could.

"Swear to be loyal to death, Your Highness Qianqiu!"

He roared and took the thousands of soldiers behind him to kneel down on one knee to Mu Fulan on the platform, delivering the most loyal response.

"Swear to be loyal to death, Your Highness Qianqiu!"

It was like a thunder thunder broke out on the ground, and the sounds made by the soldiers resounded throughout the fields and went straight to the clouds.

In the fields around the camp, there were crowds of people rushing to watch the ceremony, and all the people in the city who came to watch the ceremony were filled with tears and knelt down and bowed.

Deep in the crowd, one person looked at the figure on the platform from afar, motionless.

There are people everywhere, and no one pays attention to this ordinary-dressed man mixed in the crowd.

He looked at the familiar but suddenly became so strange that he stepped down from the platform, climbed back to the chariot, left amid the cheers of thousands of soldiers, gradually drifting away, and disappeared from sight.

...

The troops of Fuzhou retreated, and the officials of Changsha also knew that the court, or Xie Changgeng, was now sending troops to Changping Pass to deal with the forces of the King of Qi who established the Eastern Court. In the short term, they should have no time to launch another long-distance expedition that needed to cross the river south.

Since the king's mourning, the cloud of disasters that have been shrouding over the heads of subjects finally disappeared. Not only did the officials led by Lu Lin breathe a sigh of relief, but the people were also spreading the scene of the regent's reward for the army in Yunmeng that day, and were very excited. No one could have thought that the person who had married their princess who made them hate and fear was by their side at this moment.

That night, there was no moonlight in the sky. Xie Changgeng's figure was like a dim tree that merged into the night by the lake.

After the Yunmeng war was over, she returned to Yuecheng after rewarding the army. He ordered his subordinates to wait outside the city and entered the city alone. After diving for a few days, she knew that she had left the city in the evening and was right opposite him, separated from him by this piece of Dongting water.

Several days have passed. But at this moment, when he closed his eyes, he could still hear the roar of loyalty from the soldiers of Changsha Kingdom in the wilderness of Yunmeng that day.

Her means of controlling people's hearts are enough to match any general who can establish authority by relying on iron-blooded killing. Such bright and sonorous words, from her weak and beautiful appearance, easily magnified this power of bewitching people's hearts countless times.

He never knew that this woman had such a side.

Her status is different from the past. Because of her arrival, the only ferry leading to Junshan was filled with guards tonight, and around the lake, there was no small boat that could send him to Junshan.

He stood by the lake, looking at the depths of the water, the blurred mountain of lakes with black peaks drawn out by the dark night, thinking about the unsolved questions that tormented him one by one, thinking about what she was thinking and doing now, and could no longer suppress the strong thoughts that were tormenting him in his body, waded down the water, and plunged into the lake and swam towards the deep darkness of the lake.

Dongting is connected to the river, and the waters are like the sea. When the wind blows, the evil waves are surging and the undercurrents are surging. How can he not know?

But no matter how deep or far this Dongting water wave is, no matter how surging the undercurrent, it cannot stop the almost crazy idea that he wants to pass through tonight.

The cold lake water surged towards him from all directions, but it could not extinguish the burning fire that was burning in his heart.

He was like a knife that broke through the lake, and with an instinctive drive, he held his breath and swam tirelessly forward on this dark and cold winter night.

...

After the Wang brother went, Mrs. A was too sad and survived the national mourning, and fell ill. When the Yunmeng front line was fighting, the daily state affairs in the Yuecheng Royal Palace were all under the charge of Prime Minister Lu Lin. He was familiar with these internal affairs, but some important matters still need to be discussed with Mu Fulan. Mu Fulan returned from Yunmeng and had no time to take a breath, so she saw a doctor and dealt with state affairs. She was very busy.

Tomorrow she will go to Bingwu, Zheshan Island in the middle of the lake to inspect. In order to return to the city that day, she quietly left the city one day in advance with her personal guards, accompanied by her personal guards. She planned to spend a night in Junshan and set off from Junshan tomorrow morning to shorten the water journey.

She took Xier with her. It was already early when she arrived at the medicine house.

She sent Xier into the house and wanted to sleep with him. Xier shook her head: "Mom, I'm old, I can sleep by myself. Mom, you go and rest earlier, don't have to accompany me."

Mu Fulan knew that he felt sorry for him, and smiled and touched his head, told the maid to take good care of the child, walked out and returned to his house.

There is no more person in front of her who needs to face with her spirit.

She felt exhausted, and her whole body seemed to be dispersed at this moment.

Mother Mu also came with her and prepared steaming bath water for her.

Mu Fulan soaked in hot water for a while and came out to sleep.

She likes Junshan. Whenever she comes here, no matter how many worries or troubles she has, she can quickly relax and calm down.

If there is really a paradise in the world, Junshan in the middle of the lake will be her paradise.

But tonight, she was unable to fall asleep. She got up, pushed open the window, looked at the dark night outside the window, and gradually became enlightened.

Mother Mu pushed the door gently, and saw that she was not sleeping, sighed, came in, urged her to go to bed, closed the window herself, and gently kneaded her legs and feet for her.

Mu Fulan lay on the pillow, closed her eyes for a moment, and asked Mu's mother to rest.

Mom Mu looked at her tired side face and said softly: "Master Weng, although the soldiers in Fuzhou have retreated, are you still worried about coming again? Relax your mind and think about it. If you come again, the soldiers will come to stop you. I heard that the soldiers are very respectful to you, and will definitely fight with all their strength."

Mu Fulan knew that she was actually worried about herself and couldn't bear to worry about her all day long, so she said, "Mom Mu, I'm not worried. Don't worry about me either. The Fuzhou soldiers will not come again. If I guess correctly, Li Liang suddenly withdrew the troops, it must be related to Xie Changgeng. At least, he shouldn't deal with us deliberately before he can eat the Eastern Court of King Qi."

Mother Mu suddenly realized, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is it because he thanked you for saving his mother, so he let us go?"

Mu Fulan opened her eyes, shook her head, and smiled and said, "Mom Mu, you are wrong. It's not that he is grateful to me, but that he is calculating."

"He is ambitious. Like the King of Qi, he wants to be an emperor and is selfish and careless. But he is a filial son. The person he really cares about is his mother. He works step by step and is unwilling to take risks. Zhao Xitai captured his mother before, and I can imagine how anxious he was when he learned the news. But if he sends troops to force his attack and saves his mother, even if he saves the person, he will have to pay a huge price."

"Before, Brother Wang sent troops, he had suffered losses. If he paid a new price to save his mother, it might affect his long-planned great cause. At that time, I helped him back to his mother and said that it was not an exaggeration to help him. He naturally understood that this was my request for good things from him."

"While asking for good, I will let the spy go back and let him take the King Seal, which was split in half by the king's brother. How could he not know that he was so smart? I was telling him that the Mu family of Changsha is not without blood. If he fails to make good, he still refuses to let go. Then even if he hits the stone with an egg, he will fight him to the end."

"Mom Mu, even though he is not good, he is a little good. He is doing things well and is not a erratic person. I have asked him for good things first and gave him such a favor. Since the matter of Brother Wang has been done, why should he continue to be in trouble with us? We are rich in fish, rice, and we are not short of food and grass. We can fight a few more battles now. What are the benefits for us to be forced to surrender to the King of Qi?"

Mother Mu looked at Mu Fulan, and her eyes gradually turned red.

"You are the princess, and you should hold the golden branches and leaves in your hand and feel sorry for you, but now you have to bear such a heavy burden. You are still so tired even if you are worried all day long. When you were in Yunmeng, the young master was worried about you every day."

She wiped her eyes.

"It's because Mom Mu talks too much. I really don't understand. When that man came to propose marriage, weren't you happy? How did he confess you later? You were so disgusted with him so much that when he came to Yuecheng to pick you up, you would rather break yourself up and bear the stigma than to provoke him to leave?"

Mu Fulan was stunned and frowned slightly: "Mom Mu, don't talk nonsense. It's getting late, so go to bed too."

Mother Mu could no longer help it and said, "Master Weng, do you think I don't know? The night he came, when you were bathing, you were abnormal and didn't want anyone to serve you. You were alone, and it took you so long to come out. You thought it was okay, but I could see clearly that your face was so pale that no one looked like. Later, I heard something outside with him…”

Her tears fell and her voice choked.

"How painful would that hurt? I was sad when I thought about it, but you didn't hesitate to yourself at all!"

Mu Fulan's face was pale. She closed her eyes, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Mom Mu, I'm tired and want to sleep."

Mother Mu whispered: "I blame me for being rude to Master Weng, so I dare not say a word in the future. Master Weng, please rest well, I'm out."

She wiped away her tears, carefully covered the quilt for the woman on the bed, blew out the light, and gently walked out of the door.
