Born of Worry

Mo asked...

Ok?

You're back……

Well, I'm back.

You don't want to go anymore, okay?

Sorry, I have to go.

Mo asked!do not go!I won't let you go!

I'm sorry, Xiaoxian... wait for me to come back.

Mo asked!

"... Mo Wen!"

Li Xian suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the arm of the person in front of him, and sat up, but his eyes were dark because of excessive blood loss.He held on to that person tightly and didn't let go, and when he recovered, he realized that it wasn't Mo Wen at all.

"You... who are you?"

The woman in front of her broke away from his hand, took two steps back and was about to leave, Li Xian stopped her: "Stop! Who are you?!"

The woman was dressed in black, her two beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised, as if she didn't want to talk to him.Despite this, Li Xian still had a glimmer of hope and asked, "Do you... know Mo Wen?"

The woman didn't answer.

He grabbed the corner of her clothes, "Where is he? How is he now, is he okay!"

She shook it off with disgust on her face, "He's dead!"

Li Xian's heart skipped a beat, his voice trembling, "Impossible! He can't die! Tell me where he is!"

"I told you, so what?!"

"I'm going to find him!"

"Are you looking for him?" She sneered, "Okay, you are looking for him, he is in Jiuyuan Cold Pool, you can look for him!"

Li Xian frowned, he had never heard of this word before, "Jiuyuan... Hantan? What kind of place is that?"

"Hell. Go, you go to find him, there is only one step away from the Underworld, you can find him after you die! Go, go and find him!"

He murmured and repeated: "If you die...can you find him?"

The woman stared at him, her words were full of sarcasm: "Yes, if you die, you can find him. You die, I will send your body to him."

Li Xian narrowed his eyes immediately, "...you lied to me."

"I lied to you?" She sneered again, "Li Xian, what right do you have to possess him? Are you worthy? You are not worthy, you are not worthy of him at all!"

"Trash. What qualifications do you have to be an emperor? An emperor who can only think of suicide after losing his lover? Hehe, it's ridiculous."

"you……"

He couldn't think of words to refute for a while.

"Are you speechless? Are you still a man?! Cowardly, selfish, evasive! What does he like about you? What is it about you that he likes?!"

"Enough!" Li Xian was also angry, "Who the hell are you?!"

The woman looked at him condescendingly, her eyes were full of contempt and disdain, "You are not qualified to ask who I am. You are not worthy, you are not worthy to be an emperor to be protected by the Molong clan. You killed him, you killed Mo Wen!"

"……I do not have!"

"You didn't? It's not because of you that he was abolished for thousands of years?! It's not because of you that he was imprisoned in Jiuyuan Cold Pool?! Do you dare to say?!"

She questioned him loudly, but Li Xian actually lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists.

"He has protected you for 22 years, enough, enough! He asked me to protect you for him, why? I won't protect a piece of trash! Next, please fend for yourself!"

After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but Li Xian suddenly raised her head and said, "Tell me your name."

"what?"

"Tell me your name and make sure you don't come back."

The woman laughed, "Of course. Please remember, my name is Mo Yan!"

"Mo Yan..." Li Xian looked at her figure disappearing out of the window, and suddenly burst out laughing, "Don't ask, Mo Yan! What a good one, Don't ask, Mo Yan!"

He had laughed enough, got up, walked to the vanity mirror and sat down, looked at his haggard self in the mirror, and said, "That's right... Li Xian, you are not worthy, you are not worthy of having Mo Wen."

"This is what you deserve."

He picked up his favorite white jade hairpin, tied his hair, and opened the drawer. Inside was a sandalwood box with a pair of jade bracelets.

This jade bracelet...in the end, it was not given away.

Li Xian, you are so useless.

He looked at the bandage on his left wrist, but a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips: "But you still saved me."

You still saved me, such a useless me.

From the reflection of the bronze mirror, he could still see the dragon robe hanging on the wooden frame, it was still the same bright color, it was still the vivid black dragon embroidery, it was still the familiar silver thread moiré pattern, but it was never, ever again. A black dragon attached to it, no one else dared to lean on his shoulder in the early morning, biting his earlobe to embarrass him.

Thinking of the countless early mornings when no one woke him up, he couldn't help but blurt out a sentence when his consciousness was blurred:

"Mo Wen, change my clothes."

Not being able to respond, he finally woke up. It turned out that Mo Wen had long since disappeared from the empty palace.

No more... no Mo Wen.

"Xiao Xian! Xiao Xian!"

The sudden intrusion made him tremble slightly.

Li Ye saw him sitting in front of the mirror, but didn't know what happened just now, so he was surprised: "You...you woke up? When did you wake up?"

"Just now." He lowered his head, trying to hide a little redness around his eyes.They quarreled so loudly that they didn't attract anyone from outside, so Mo Yan might have used soundproofing.

Soundproofing spell... you dragons, you like to play this trick.

"You've been sleeping for three days and three nights." Li Ye took a step forward and sighed, "You...you, why are you...looking for death, you really scared your third brother and me to death, do you know that? Know!"

"I'm sorry..." Li Xian felt a little guilty and didn't want to continue this topic, "You came to see me not just to see if I'm awake, right?"

Li Ye looked away, "Ah... yes. I... I don't know how to tell you."

"What the hell? What happened?"

"Yanmen Pass... has fallen."

"……What did you say?!"

Li Xian hurried to the main hall, but saw a man dressed as a young general waiting anxiously. Seeing him coming, he immediately stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and handed over a postal message with both hands: "Your Majesty! Hurry up for eight hundred miles! "

Li Xian received the post report and saw that he was covered in dust and scars, and asked, "Are you under General Cao?"

"Yes!" The young general raised his head, his eyes filled with grief and indignation, "Your Majesty, General Cao has committed treason!"

"...you come with me."

Li Xian led him to the study, but didn't ask what was going on.Yanmen Pass has always been a natural danger, and it is not easy to capture it. It is impossible for Tahan to break through Yanmen Pass in such a short period of time, not to mention that he has repeatedly strengthened the defense of Yanmen Pass in the past few years. .

He opened the post newspaper, which roughly explained how General Cao Hancao colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and surrendered Yanmen Pass.After watching it, he asked the young general, "What day is today?"

The young general clasped his fists together: "Return to Your Majesty, June 29!"

"June 29... How long did it take you to deliver this post?"

"Two days and two nights, without stopping for a moment!"

Li Xian thought for a while, "The post newspaper was written on June 21, why did it take so long?"

The young general looked angrily: "Return to Your Majesty! After General Cao's treason, Tahan invaded, occupied Yanmen Pass, and sealed off the entire Daizhou City! All the brothers were imprisoned! Killed and wounded! This battle report is still brothers You risked your life to send it out!"

"Well," Li Xian took out a map from the bookshelf and unfolded it, "June 21... When was the Yanmen Gate broken?"

"The last general can't remember clearly, it should be June [-]th, or June [-]th!"

"June 29th, today is June [-]th, on the [-]th... Daizhou has fallen, Xinzhou is still there, Jinyang..." Li Xian frowned, raised his head and said, "Let Lin Ruxuan!"

Lin Ruxuan rushed over from the general's mansion, but he didn't even ride a horse, so he entered the hall with ease, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Lin Ruxuan, I order you to lead 5000 people from the Lin family army to rush to Jinyang! No matter what, I must keep Jinyang! It would be best if we can take back Xinzhou, if we can't take it back... we can't let them go on rampant anymore! You set off immediately, and I will send people to support you!"

"Yes!"

Lin Ruxuan immediately went back to pack his luggage, Li Ye was still in a dazed state, thinking that he should be sent anyway, Lin Ruxuan has never led an army to fight a war since he took office!Is it okay to just let him go...

"Aren't you going to see me off?"

Only then did Li Ye come back to his senses, "Eh? Ha! I... I'll go right away!"

Li Xian ordered someone to arrange for the young general to go down to rest, while he sat in front of the desk and looked at the map.I have to say that Tahan came at the right time, just after the drought and flood, and when the people needed to recuperate, he sent many officials out to relieve the disaster. Dayin's national strength was the weakest. Han, won a Yanmen natural danger for nothing without a single soldier.

"Well, you Cao Han, you are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han... Is this Dayin actually Cao Ying?"

Thousands of calculations...to be considered a traitor...

In the next five days, the papers and newspapers from all over the country finally arrived in Weiyang one after another.

Li Xian said in his heart that if I wait for news from you, the day lily will be completely cold.According to the content of various post newspapers, this Tahan invasion, for some reason, only sent [-] troops. After capturing Daizhou, they only set up camp in Daizhou, and did not take any further actions.He was puzzled, but still transferred [-] troops from the Guangming Army to support Xinzhou, and at the same time waited for news from Lin Ruxuan.

What annoyed him the most was not the late arrival of postal newspapers from all over the country, but that something went wrong with his Xuanyu Intelligence Department at this time. From June 29th to [-]th, it took ten days to finally send the frontline information, and he was so angry Don't call Qin Yu out.

As soon as Qin Yu came out, he cried to him: "Your Majesty! It's not that we don't want to! Our eyeliner at Yanmen Pass...was pulled out!"

"Who pulled it out?"

"I don't know! We haven't found out yet, and they have blocked the entire Daizhou City. Our people can't get in, and the people inside can't get out. The little brother who sent you the information is still ours. I escaped after guarding all the way!"

Li Xian squinted at him, "Oh, it's your credit for co-authoring?"

Qin Yu was so wronged, "I can't talk about the credit, but there is hard work, right? We have lost several brothers, and you still scold us..."

Li Xian had a terrible headache, and waved him away: "Investigate again and report again, Yanmenguan's eyeliner is up to you."

"……Yes."

Being able to remove the eyeliner of his Xuanjia Army...but it is really not easy, why didn't he know when Tahan had such a powerful character?

Only sticking to Daizhou...Maybe it was a trap, he suddenly became worried about Lin Ruxuan's safety.

On another ten days, Lin Ruxuan finally sent back the battle report, saying that they arrived in Jinyang one step ahead of Tahan, and that Jinyang was safe, so he led some troops to assist Xinzhou, joined the Guangming army, and blocked a wave thirty miles north of Xinzhou. Offensive, the first battle was successful, and Tahan was defeated and left.

As soon as the news came to Beijing, the people and officials all applauded, but Li Xian felt something was wrong. Looking at his second brother, Li Ling shook his head at him.

So he immediately wrote a cipher text, in duplicate, and asked Xuan Yu's intelligence department to send it to Lin Ruxuan and Yang Qingping.

Li Xian has been busy for half a month, almost never stopping to write in his hand.The imperial decree was issued one by one, arranging for the Ministry of War to prepare military equipment, food and grass to be transported to the front line in time, and ordering several passes near Yanmen Pass to be vigilant, to prepare for battle across the board, and to summon the officials who had been dispatched before to return to Beijing quickly after finishing their work.When he was doing this series of things, Li Ye didn't dare to leave even a single step. He committed suicide by cutting his veins and bleeding... No, he tried to summon the dragon. Ye was afraid that one day he would fail, but he couldn't persuade him no matter how hard he tried, he wanted to call his elder brother and second elder brother to play hard and soft, but now that the national crisis was at stake, and he was afraid that he would really miss the important event, he didn't dare to stop him, so he could only keep silent Be by the side.

On the day of July and a half, Li Xian couldn't bear it any longer. He issued the last imperial decree and fell asleep lying on the table.Li Ye was so distressed that he hurriedly carried him back to the bedroom to let him have a good rest, and asked the imperial dining room to prepare some nourishing meals. Then he looked at the wound on his wrist, and found that the wound had not healed, but was infected instead. What's more, he kept writing at the desk and always touched it carelessly. In addition, he didn't change the medicine in time, and his physical condition was poor, so he got infected.

Li Ye's heart was about to be shattered into shards of glass, so he immediately called the imperial physician to scold him, the imperial physician timidly re-bandaged the emperor's wound, and retreated tremblingly under the eyes of His Royal Highness King Yu who wanted to swallow people alive .

That day, Li Xian was found to have committed suicide by slit his pulse, almost scaring him out of his wits.None of the eunuchs noticed that something was wrong with their emperor. When Li Ye came in, he saw blood all over the place, and the emperor was lying on the ground next to the dragon bed, but the wound on his wrist was forcibly stopped by something.

He didn't know who rescued Li Xian, but most likely it wasn't Mo Wen. If Mo Wen was still there, he wouldn't have made such a drastic move.

This Li Xian... Sigh.
