Proudly follow your heart

This kind of light is terrifying, even Xiao Hu can't guess what Jun Zhanran's intentions are, or it should be said that since receiving the news that Nangong Cangao has fallen into Lintian Valley, no one can see through it anymore. man's mind.

"I want you to lead troops into the city." When Jun Zhanran said this sentence, everyone was shocked.

When he spoke, he was not looking at other people, not Xiao Hu, not Luo Qian, nor Wen Rufeng or other soldiers brought from Rinnan, it was indeed Mu who was already a prisoner with a haggard face. Zhao Ran.

General of the enemy army.

"I?"

"Him?!" Xiao Hu couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Lord, he came to lead the troops—how can this be done?!"

Everyone around was amazed, no matter how you say Mu Zhaoran is an enemy and not a friend, who has ever heard of using the enemy's generals to lead his own soldiers and horses on the battlefield?Could it be that Jun Zhanran was so worried about Nangong Cangao that he lost his mind?

As if he hadn't noticed the reactions of the people around him, the man standing in front of the car still looked at Lin Zhaoran, his eyes remained motionless, "The road ahead is Chixia City, I want you to lead troops into the city."

Lin Zhaoran heard it clearly this time, and looked up to the sky and laughed, "Jun Zhanran, are you crazy? You want me to lead troops into the city? Are you not afraid that I will join forces with the city defenders to lure you into a trap and catch them all?"

This really doesn't make sense, Mu Zhaoran was smiling, but her heart was uncertain, Jun Zhanran remained indifferent as before, "You can do this, but you can't, and you don't dare."

"Why didn't I dare? How could I not dare? If I want to return to Xia Kingdom, this is my greatest opportunity, how could I not dare?" There were some traces of vicissitudes, but he raised those peach blossom eyes, and the brows were still bright.

Jun Zhanran looked at the light with a smile, and said slowly, "Because Mu Zhaoxia is still in Linnan."

In one sentence, the sneering smile on Mu Zhaoran's lips was extinguished, and he gritted his teeth, "Jun Zhanran! So you are just a despicable villain!"

"I've never said that I'm a gentleman." Mo Yu's eyes are as plain as water, but they make people feel cold.

"If Lin Zhaoxia is not enough, there are still Lin Zhaoxia's children, if not enough, what about your own life?" He said calmly, "Your own life, I think you should always cherish it .”

That secretive smile made Mu Zhaoran alert.

"What do you mean? Could it be—" He didn't forget what the other person called him, "You use poison?"

"The Wulou treats the prisoners well, and the daily meals are never treated harshly."

When Jun Zhanran said this, Xiao Hu couldn't help being puzzled in his heart. He remembered that there was no poison in Mu Zhaoran's food.

Mu Zhaoran himself didn't know, all he knew was that the man in front of him could do whatever he could for revenge. Since he was willing to kill himself, what else could he not do?

"What a Jun Zhanran! If you dare to use me to lead troops, I will do what you wish!" After gritting his teeth, Mu Zhaoran could only answer like this.

Jun Zhanran didn't seem surprised, and continued to look at him with those calm eyes, "The Lord of Chixia City can be considered an old fox, but he probably won't be able to escape your hand."

He seemed to have plans long ago, and Mu Zhaoran was even more suspicious.

Why didn't Jun Zhanran go by himself?Is there any reason to prevent him from not personally leading troops into Shundu?With the hatred in his heart, even if there was Xia Jun ambushing ahead, it would only make him more satisfied, because the worse Xia Jun's defeat, the more angry Ping Kanghuang would be.

Thinking of Jun Zhanran's identity, Mu Zhaoran's gaze became complicated.

If that is the truth, isn't this person in front of him... the real monarch on the throne?

Chixia City, Fuluan Mountain, Shundu.Jun Zhanran stood outside the city gate and raised his eyes forward. From the master of Wulou, who is known as the unparalleled ghost, to the rumored prince of Xia Guo, today, he finally stood here, only a few days away from the capital. distance.

A few days——another piece of writing appeared in my heart.

Nangong Cangao, the name that was deliberately suppressed and not remembered suddenly came to mind.

"Lord..." Xiao Hu clearly saw that Jun Zhanran's face turned pale, and when he looked closely, he seemed to be the same as before.

Jun Zhanran turned a deaf ear and was talking to Mu Zhaoran.

Xiao Hu then looked at Mu Zhaoran again, thinking that Jun Zhanran had gone so far in order to take advantage of Mu Zhaoran, and even threatened Mu Zhaoxia and her child, he couldn't help but feel ominous.

Why didn't the landlord lead the army himself?

Why would you rather use Mu Zhaoran than attack the city yourself?

Thinking of this in his heart, his gaze slowly moved to Jun Zhanran's back, and then to the hands covered under the sleeves.

Xiao Hu never forgot that in Linnan's palace, Jun Zhanran once used the cloud-turning hands in a rage, those hands could turn the world into hell, and such hands have been cut off since that day. After falling into the head, he never appeared in front of others again.

As if aware of Xiao Hu's eyes, Jun Zhanran turned his head, and suddenly his eyes were as cold as a sharp sword. Xiao Hu's eyes moved, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Shen.

The host——

"It's Chixia City in front of me, and those who don't want to die in Xia Kingdom can follow me!" Mu Zhaoran had already received Jun Zhanran's instruction, shouted loudly, and rushed forward with a grip on the horse's belly.

Release him from the cage, and he will no longer be a prisoner, and all the soldiers in Rinnan know that this is the commander in chief.After these days, they have become accustomed to listening to Jun Zhanran. Since it was Jun Zhanran's intention, even if they had any thoughts in their hearts, they would not express it at this time. Looking behind them, there must be no surprises.

After seeing Jun Zhanran's methods, these Rinnan soldiers have almost blindly trusted Jun Zhanran.

Thousands of troops attacked Chixia City, and the soldiers of Rinnan shouted a sentence-"Heaven has eyes, King Zhan returns to his nest!"

"Heaven has eyes, King Zhan returns to his nest—"

This is a sentence that Jun Zhanran ordered his people to shout before attacking after he invaded Xia Kingdom. It is easy to understand and spread quickly. Coupled with the previous rumors, it has already become a topic of discussion in the streets and alleys.

Returning to the nest is also returning to the court, but it is different. Since it is a nest, it means that this place originally belonged to him.

The sky has eyes and allowed him to return to his homeland. The implication is that he has followed the sky and made those who acted against the will of heaven pay the price.

The common people understand this way. It has to be said that Jun Zhanran's move really played a big role in this trip. This time he sent troops, Xia Jun retreated steadily. Apart from relying on a bit of luck, he also took advantage of people's hearts.

People's hearts are most likely to be confused, not to mention the secrets in the palace, and the drama of the brothers fighting against the wall. Emperor Pingkang was unpopular, and Jun Zhanran came again. Even the Xia army soldiers, some people were a little shaken.

That posthumous edict, written on it, is the meaning of the former emperor Yongsheng, and the scandal of Emperor Pingkang's murder of his younger brother to seize the throne can be said to be known to everyone. How can such an emperor be convinced.

If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. The throne that has been seized may be taken back at any time. What are they little pawns doing so desperately?

There is an owner of Chixia City, An Tong. An Tong is a smart man, and he is also an old acquaintance of Jun Zhanran. The "Jianghu man" who passed by turned out to be the fourth prince of the late emperor.

Since he is a smart person, he will not do stupid things. An Tong does not want to offend Ping Kanghuang, nor does he want to offend the "righteous" King Zhan. The best way is not to offend both.

He ordered his subordinates to fight and retreat, pretending to resist, on the one hand, to avoid too many casualties, and on the other hand, to show Pingkang Huanghuangde that he did not just catch him, and he did resist before he was defeated.

Attacking Chixia City was not difficult for Mu Zhaoran. With An Tong's "cooperation", the city was quickly taken down.

Why did Jun Zhanran ask him to lead the army? During the process, he could see a thing or two, thinking that he used to be a general of the Xia Kingdom, and now he has become Jun Zhanran's subordinate, leading the army to fight for him, knowing the inside story People understand that they have no choice but what do people who don’t know think about it?Others will think he has defected.

General Mu Zhaoran of the Xia Kingdom took refuge in Jun Zhanran, Nangong Cangao and Ying Xiaomeng were on Jun Zhanran's side, and Rinnan's whole country was even more so, and they did their best to help him seek justice and send him soldiers and horses. Bing Gongquan, help him go back to Xia Guo to find Huangde's troubles.

If a person has a steelyard in his heart, as long as he understands the situation in front of him, anyone will tilt the steelyard towards Jun Zhanran.

Mu Zhaoran could only smile wryly, wondering if Nangong Cangao also unknowingly became a chess piece in Jun Zhanran's hands?The only difference is that he was forced by the situation, while Nangong Cang Ao fell in love with this person and was willing.

Breaking through Chixia City, passing through Mount Fuluan, the people at the foot of Mount Fuluan heard that it was Jun Zhanran who had returned, and even joined the road to welcome him.

"Lord Jun is back! Lord Jun is back!" Everyone rushed to tell each other.What they were waiting for was not the fourth son of Emperor Yongsheng, nor King Zhan, but Jun Zhanran.

Jun Zhanran, the owner of Wulou who lives on the top of the mountain and manages the shops down the mountain in an orderly manner, so that everyone down the mountain has food, food and clothes.

Seeing such a scene with his own eyes, Mu Zhaoran had another view of Jun Zhanran.

In this battle, Pingkang Huanghuangde had already lost before he even made a move.

Maybe it was lost a long, long time ago, and lost the hearts of the people.

According to the popular will, Jun Zhanran is also a man who is good at using people's hearts. Even if he can't capture Shundu this time, Ping Kanghuang's throne will not be stable for a long time.

"You just want to see Huangde lose the king's land under his feet little by little, and want him to see people's hearts scattered, and let him betray his relatives, don't you?"

Hearing what Mu Zhaoran asked, the eyes of the man who had changed horses moved slightly, and he smiled coldly, "There is a saying that courtesy is reciprocal, I just want him to taste the suffering I suffered back then."

How could Huangde understand the feeling of being betrayed by his relatives, being killed in his own palace, and crawling out of the grave?

He doesn't understand, no one will understand, maybe only one person...

As soon as he closed his eyes, Jun Zhanran didn't think about it any further. What he needed to concentrate on was the battle, the Shundu ahead.

There were drums of war, heavy horseshoes, and a flag with the character "Zhan" flying in the air.

Shundu, the king's capital of the Xia Kingdom, was panicked before Mu Zhaoran led his troops outside the gate. The city gate was closed, and the people inside could not get out, so they had to close the gate and wait for the end of the war. result.

King Zhan came to the Pingkang Emperor's Gate, and no one in the Xia Dynasty could lead his troops to resist!The princes didn't know where they went. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is going to fight in person, and go out to fight. But how can a king who is pampered in the palace every day compare with a master who wanders in the rivers and lakes?

Although no one dared to say it, many people were actually not optimistic about the outcome of this battle.

Fortunately, even if His Majesty loses, if the emperor is changed, the surname is still Huang, and Xia Guo is still Xia Guo, it will not hinder the people, will it?With this kind of thinking in mind, there are still many people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and are waiting to watch the excitement.

Outside of Shundu, Jun Zhanran slowly tightened his hands, and his fingers were tightly tightened under his sleeves, finally causing his nails to sink into his flesh and ooze blood.

I don't know how many times I have come to Shundu, but it has never been the same as this time.

The red walls and red tiles in my memory, the red sky and red ground, the air full of blood, the coat soaked in my own blood, the wet touch, and being buried in the soil, I don’t know where I am empty.

Jun Zhanran kept looking at the city gate, and no one else made a sound, so he was asked to look at the city gate in the distance, and no one dared to make a sound.

His eyes are like a wandering spirit, finally finding the home of his soul, and like a ghost, finally finding a place to vent his grievances, those straight eyes, in short, don't look like a living person.

"The landlord—" This time it was Luo Qian who called softly, Xiao Hu didn't know what he was worried about, and looked at Jun Zhanran's hand, frowning.

Mu Zhaoran originally hated and admired Jun Zhanran, but now seeing him like this, for some reason, he felt some pity.

A person with hatred in his heart must have a difficult life. It's not that he doesn't want to let go, but he can't let go.

There is a city gate separated, inside and outside the city, the two sides are waiting in full battle, the sound of war drums, and the evil spirit is even more pressing in early summer. At this time, there is no need to talk about tactics for attacking the city. In an open land, encounters on narrow roads, there is only one battle.

The banners fluttered, and the hearts of Lin Nan's soldiers had been subdued by Jun Zhanran, who shouted "Heaven has eyes, King Zhan returns to his nest—" Hearing this, Huang De was furious.

Homing?He is homing, so what is he?A bird occupying a dove's nest?

There was anger in his heart, but it wasn't the time to be angry. Huang Deyu drove him personally, and he didn't dare to neglect. Jun Zhanran's ability has long been rumored to be miraculous, so he had to be cautious.

"war."

Under the anticipation and waiting of countless people, Jun Zhanran's lips opened and closed.

A great battle begins.

"Come on!"

"kill--"

When the two armies confront each other, people are like tides, wave after wave, Jun Zhanran is sure of this battle, and when the battle is over, he will trample Huangde under his feet.

At that time, all the people in Huangde had betrayed their relatives, and seeing that the Xia Dynasty fell into his hands, they would definitely feel unwilling and extremely angry...

Assuming the scene at that time, Jun Zhanran didn't feel the slightest disturbance in his heart. He knew that the big revenge would be avenged. Why, he didn't feel happy at all?Don't feel relaxed?

My heart was empty, without the slightest joy that I should have.

There is a string still taut, tied with four characters.

"Nangong Cangao——" Someone shouted behind him, Jun Zhan suddenly turned around, and saw someone in the crowd holding a piece of letter paper and shouting towards him.

"There's news from Nangong Cangao! There's news from Yingshuai!" The person who came was still from Zhanjiazhuang, but Jun Zhan ran away on his horse regardless of the battle situation, and took the book from the person's hand.

Xiao Hu had never seen Jun Zhanran's expression change so suddenly, he seemed to have been punched in the face all of a sudden.

"Impossible!" Squeezing out a few words between his teeth, he turned his eyes, and suddenly stared fiercely at the city gate. All his grievances, all his losses and upcoming gains, all the endings are in sight.

But the note in his hand said——Nangong Cang Ao is dead.
