Mask of Rebirth

Xue Tian received Qin Mu's secret order, and led [-] soldiers and horses to set off overnight, marching eastward to meet and block the Meng army.

Wei Ziyang led a thousand soldiers and three hundred prisoners in the forbidden area of ​​Beiling Mountain to suppress the enemy's gunpowder day and night, and never went down the mountain.So he didn't know what happened down the mountain.

It was the second night after Xue Tian left, Qin Mu took advantage of the night to secretly recruit Xiao Nian into the barracks.

Xiao Nian also said that the lord wanted to invite him to sleep, so she specially changed her usual soldier's attire, and entered the door full of expectations after being well-dressed.

"Kowtow to the prince."

Qin Mu stood with his back, and looked thinner from behind.In his hand, he was playing with a Jue Tongjue, made of the finest mutton fat jade, the jade was flawless.As the saying goes, if a gentleman can make decisions, he wears a jue, and sometimes it is also used as a letter to indicate that he has severed ties with him, so the meaning of this object is not very good.

Qin Mu seldom holds this thing in his hand on weekdays, it seems a bit abnormal to enjoy it like this today.

Puzzled, Xiao Nian called out again, seeing that he didn't speak, she got up boldly.I wanted to go over to undress him, but Qin Mu blocked him as soon as I went over.He turned his face to look at him, his eyes were cold, Xiao Nian's heart trembled, his knees bent and he knelt on the ground hastily.

"The king invited you here because he wanted to ask you something!"

Xiao Nian was guilty of being a thief, and her voice dropped a few decibels, "Excuse me, my lord."

"But you poisoned Ziyang?"

Xiao Nian suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of horror, "I am wronged, my lord, I am wronged, Xiao Nian has never poisoned Wei Shen, I hope my lord will find out."

"Wronged? Hmph! Do you think that the king doesn't know anything if he's not in the barracks?"

"My lord, don't you know what Xiao Nian is like? Xiao Nian would never do such a thing that hurts nature."

Qin Mu sneered, "You know it's against nature and reason?" He threw the jade on the table, and with a clang, Xiao Nian trembled in fright, "You should be very clear about this king's temper! I'll give you one last chance. Hired, otherwise, don't blame me for not showing affection!"

Could it be him?No wonder he looked at me that way that night, it turned out that he already knew it!Wei Ziyang, you despicable villain!Resisting the pain and stabbing me in the back, I wanted to use the prince's hand to kill me!Xiao Nian gritted her teeth in hatred, her eyes almost burst into flames.

When I raised my head again, my eyes were already full of tears. Looking at Qin Mu who is high above me, I said aggrievedly: "My lord, I know that I am humble and not as powerful as him. I dare not compete with him for the lord's favor, but the lord should not Such partiality, with just a few words from him, Xiao Nian was wronged and poisoned." After speaking, tears streamed down his face, trembling all over his body, "I don't argue with him anymore, does he insist on killing me before giving up? What?" Qin Mu still looked at him coldly at this point, Xiao Nian made up his mind to add another dose of strong medicine, suddenly stood up and grabbed the dagger on the table and pressed it against his throat, "If the prince doesn't believe it, Xiao Nian May I die to keep my innocence!"

After saying that he was really going to stab, Qin Mu's eyelids twitched, he threw the jade jue out and bounced the dagger impartially.Xiao Nian predicted that the prince would save him, so she made such a bad move, her body collapsed and she knelt on the ground and began to cry.

Qin Mu sighed for a long time, and said coldly: "This king has given you a chance, but you still don't know how to repent. You let me down so much!"

The crying stopped abruptly, and Xiao Nian looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, who he had served for more than two years, "My lord still doesn't believe me?"

"Ziyang didn't say a single word. I felt it myself. When I came back that night, I felt that his behavior was a bit strange. I sent someone to investigate secretly and found out that the food was poisonous! And the poison was actually poisoned by you." !” Thinking of the scene at that time, Qin Mu wanted to kill himself, not only hated himself but also hated the person who poisoned him, and hated Wei Ziyang even more.He actually kept it so secret, without saying a word, what exactly does he think of me? "Ziyang was seriously injured time and time again for my Daqin's country, and almost lost his life several times, and you people still want to kill him behind the scenes. Don't you think about the overall situation?"

Speaking of this, there is no need to quibble anymore. If the prince hadn't checked it out, he wouldn't have called him here late at night. "Xiao Nian doesn't understand important military affairs! Xiao Nian only has the prince in his heart, and only loves the prince! He has taken away the prince's favor, and I hate him!"

"Do you know what love is? To love someone is to always want to protect him, not to make him sad, not to make him sad! You say you love me, but you want to take away the most important person in my heart!  … .Do you know how much I care about him? Haven't you ever thought that this king will not be able to bear seeing his dead body when he comes back?"

Xiao Nian looked at him with frightened eyes, "Does the prince care about him that much?"

"Do you know why I named you Nianli?"

This is what Nianli has hated the most over the years, his existence is for a dead person! "......Know!"

"When I lost Su Li two years ago, I couldn't bear the pain! I can't bear that feeling a second time!"

"...I understand!" Nianli's heart was completely chilled. After being someone else's substitute for two years, he still couldn't replace that person's position in his heart. He kept comforting himself. Anyway, he is also a dead person, so he can't jump out and compete with him for favor.But now, the lord is not even willing to give any favors to this kind of charity.

"Now that you understand, let's tell the truth. You can't get those poisons by yourself. Who is behind your back? Tell me, and I will spare you!"

"No one ordered it, I did it all by myself."

I wanted to take advantage of this incident to move behind the scenes, but he refused to tell the truth, "Aren't you afraid that the king will kill you?"

"Now that Xiao Nian is alive or dead, it makes no difference."

"you!"

"I did all the poisoning by myself. Since the day the prince left the barracks, I have poisoned every soup and medicine in every meal, and in those meals, there are... huh~" Xiao Nian sneered, "I even poisoned the ganoderma that the prince personally picked for him! Damn, he is so lucky!" At the end of the story, Xiao Nian's facial features were almost distorted, horrifyingly hideous!

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Mu slapped him hard. The slap was so hard that even his own hand was numb.He finally understood why Wei Ziyang refused to drink the bowl of medicine for so long. He knew it was poisonous, so he hesitated, but in the end he drank it all at once.

This king forced him to drink it!

Xiao Nian fell to the ground, crying silently, and after a long time, asked softly: "How will the prince deal with me?"

Qin Mu clenched his fists, and his veins bulged due to excessive force. From the moment he learned the truth, he wanted to kill Nianli more than once. The impulse devoured his reason like a hungry wolf, but there was still A voice is obstructing him, can't kill!Besides, he is not the mastermind! "Ziyang refuses to tell me that he doesn't want me to kill you! You go! From now on, don't let me see you again!"

"My lord~" Nian Li burst into tears like rain.Compared to killing him with a knife, this kind of indifference made him more unbearable, which showed that Qin Mu didn't even hate him at all.

"Don't say anything, take these banknotes, and in the future...you can do it yourself."

At the end of his righteousness, Qin Muren waved his hand and ordered Nianli to be dragged away, who was crying.

Originally, he wanted to send him back to his home after the war was over, even if he was no longer favored, he couldn't bear to let him live on the street to fend for himself, but he was too stupid to do such an outrageous thing, now that he ended up like this, he can only Say he deserved it!

"Lou Han!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Lou Han was already standing in front of him before he finished speaking.

"Brother Dahuang might kill someone to silence him, you should send someone to give him a ride secretly." Qin Mu sighed and waved him away.

"Yes!"

Sometimes Qin Mu hated his soft heart so much, if he had been sent away sooner, why would Wei Ziyang be in danger, but now that he knew he was poisoning him, he couldn't bear to kill him!His mother and concubine had taught him many times that he must be ruthless and decisive if he wanted to achieve a major event, so he was made to wear Jue Tong Jue.It's a pity that he is the most soft-hearted, and he didn't inherit the temperament of his parents.

But there is nothing wrong with that. Some people love the country but not the beauties, and some people love the beauties but not the country. Everyone has their own aspirations.

As far as he is concerned, he doesn't need any power in this life, as long as he has Wei Ziyang by his side, that's enough.

Before the battle, Qin Mu personally put on the soft armor for Wei Ziyang, put on the battle uniform, and said to him while doing it carefully, "I have already investigated the matter of poisoning, I know you don't want to embarrass me." Do, don't want me to kill him, I have sent someone to send him away... Sometimes I really hate you, don't tell me anything, hide your thoughts alone, bear with me, what do you think of me Am I that useless?" Wei Ziyang didn't respond at all, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, "You will make me feel very uneasy in my heart! No, I have always been uneasy, since I was with you After being together, I always have a feeling of worrying about gains and losses. You have too many secrets. When I ask you, you say that you have a chance. I am really afraid that I will not wait for that day... In fact, you It doesn't matter if you can't hear it, these words have been buried in my heart for a long time, and I want to tell you but I don't want you to know."

After the uniform was put on, Qin Mu pushed him to the mirror, letting him take a look at his completely new self.The Baoxiang Qilin Mingguang armor, Qin Mu specially ordered someone to tailor it for him. It is black and red, and he said that his complexion is the most beautiful! "very handsome!"

Wei Ziyang turned his head and smiled at him, the two were so close that they could even hear each other's breathing.Qin Mu secretly stabilized his heartbeat, and whispered into his ear, "Father has promised me that if the army is defeated, he will give me a fief and let me be the king of Nanyang... Although Nanyang is not as good as Jiangnan, The scenery is not bad, you should like it." Wei Ziyang's expression still didn't change at all, the silent world separated the two of them too far, "I hope you can hear this sentence!" After finishing speaking, he laughed too, "It doesn't matter if you can't hear me, I'll tell you again when I return in triumph! I'll say it a few more times until you hear it!"

"My lord, it's time to go."

Qin Mu reluctantly let go of the person in his arms, turned his head and told a row of guards, "No matter what happens, you all have to protect him! If he makes even the slightest mistake, I will kill you all!"

"Yes!"

"set off!"

The Qin State used [-] troops to fight against the army's [-] cavalry, with Wei Ziyang as the commander and Qin Mu as the striker. This battle can almost be said to be desperate!Except for Wei Ziyang, almost everyone was worried, and even Qin Long felt that this was sending him to death!But he still wanted to stand on the watchtower, wanting to see with his own eyes how the arrogant Wei Ziyang would end up in such a disastrous defeat.

The wind is howling, the white waves are smashing the sky, maybe even God is mourning for the soldiers who are about to die today.

Lu Yang pointed at the enemy army with a spear in his hand, "Who is in command! Report your name!"

Forward Qin Mu raised his hand to signal, and the soldiers behind him raised the flag of Wei Zishuai high!Lu Yang fixed his eyes and was confused for a moment. He had never heard of a general whose surname was Wei. Who was it?Could it be Wei Ziyang?A few days ago, I heard a secret report that Wei Ziyang survived a catastrophe, could it be true?

"As the commander-in-chief, why don't you dare to face the army, what kind of hero is hiding your head and showing your tail!"

"Lu Yang, just because you are not worthy to fight against the commander-in-chief of our army, it is me, Qin Mu, who is fighting against you today!"

Lu Yang's expression changed, and he pointed his spear at Qin Mu, "What an arrogant boy, let me take your head off with my own hands, and send you home!"

Just when the armies of the two countries were on the verge of firing, a melodious sound of music suddenly came out.

The voice is faint and mellow, clear and pleasant.Being blown by the wind, it seems to come, like a hallucination.But obviously, not only Lu Yang, but many people heard this voice.Qin Mu showed even more doubts on his face, and turned his head to look for the source of the music.

On the battlefield where the two armies were confronting each other, the sound of music was indeed inappropriate, and even the murderous aura was taken away by the sound.

Lu Yang looked for his reputation, and was surprised to see a person who should not have appeared through the crowd.

The man was wearing unicorn armor and sitting on a white horse.On his face was a silver mask that had changed color, and he was holding a green leaf and blowing it by his mouth.It was really Wei Ziyang!

This is not the most unbelievable thing for him, what really surprised him was the music.

Deja vu Yan returns...

That clear and gentle voice roared through his brain like a flood, brushing away the dust and reminding him of a scene that had been deliberately forgotten.

Once upon a time, don't remember.The man was standing in the lush green bamboo forest, with a smile on his lips, holding a green leaf like him, and playing a melodious little tune.That man, that figure that I will never want to recall...

Startled, Lu Yang raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of horror.

At the end of the song, Wei Ziyang slowly raised his head, and looked at Lu Yang intently across the sea of ​​people.

This piece of music was heard in the previous life, it is very old, and it has long been out of fashion, but Wei Ziyang likes it very much, and it is the only one who can play with leaves.In the past, he only played it to Lu Yang.

Wei Ziyang clamped down on the horse's belly and walked forward unhurriedly. The army automatically parted ways, and soldiers with spears stood on both sides and looked at him one after another.At this time, the surroundings were extremely quiet, only the rhythmic sound of horseshoes walking on the ice, which was clear and crisp.

Wei Ziyang raised his hand and slowly reached behind his head to untie the rope, and took off the mask.A face that hadn't seen the sun for a long time was exposed to the world. The bruises on his face had been washed away with lotion, and his skin was so fair that it was almost transparent. With his delicate facial features, it was simply amazing.

The surrounding crowd exclaimed, Qin Mu was dumbfounded, and even Wei Ziyang forgot to speak as he passed by him, and did not respond in a daze.

The horse has been walking forward unhurriedly, passing Qin Jun, passing Qin Mu, and step by step to the center of the battlefield, the army of Lu Guo seemed to be facing a big enemy, and the crossbowmen unanimously pointed their spears at him.Lu Yang hurriedly raised his hand to call for a stop, and stepped forward to meet him quickly.

Lu Yang felt that there was a vivid person in front of his eyes, but it seemed unreal like a phantom. He even reminded himself several times that the scene in front of him was not real.That man is obviously dead!

The two of them stopped with a distance of one or two feet. Lu Yang didn't dare to move forward. He was afraid, afraid that it was a hallucination. He didn't even dare to get close to confirm it. He looked at him for a long time before asking softly, "Su Li?"
