Empress and Empress
Chapter 40
Xia Zimo sat on the edge of the bed slumped. The two maids had already been driven out of the room by her. The room was so eerily quiet that even her breathing could not be heard.
This was what Cheng Jing saw when he walked in. Although Xia Zimo was a little haggard because he hadn't eaten well in the past few days, his demeanor remained undiminished.Her pale face made her even more lovable.With a flash of admiration in his eyes, Cheng Jing walked up to her and said, "Zimo."
Xia Zimo looked at the man in front of her whom she wished she could peel and bone, and sneered, "General Cheng, what do you want to see?" Cheng Jing blushed and murmured, "I---I just want to come and see you. things, just tell me."
Although I don't want to pay attention to him, but I also know that this is not the time to provoke him, and Cheng Jing came here alone, in case something happens---
Xia Zimo shuddered, she served the emperor because she was a concubine, there was nothing she could do, and at that time she and Yuan Xingye had not made up their minds, now even the emperor would not even think about getting close to her, let alone Cheng Jing.
Seeing that Xia Zimo was silent, Cheng Jing smiled and said, "What's the matter? Is it inconvenient to live?" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to pat Xia Zimo's shoulder, Xia Zimo's heart trembled, and he hid away without a trace.Standing up, he said, "General Cheng, please go back if there is nothing wrong." Seeing that Xia Zimo hid, Cheng Jing couldn't help being very angry.
He was born in a family of officials since he was a child, and the Cheng family was considered a well-known family in Chang'an. He even moved three steps at a time, and soon achieved the position of commander of the Imperial Army, and he could join the Ministry of War in a few years.Although Xia Zimo, who was meant to be married, was appointed by the emperor to enter the palace, it did not affect him, and the number of people who came to his house to talk about matchmaking continued unabated.
He, who has always attracted much attention, came to Youzhou and came to Quanrong to know what it means to be left out.No one here will notice his family background, everyone here cares about military exploits and fighting on the battlefield.Even those ordinary soldiers had no admiration for him.
Not to mention generals such as Pei Shiyuan and Shen Bing, even those lieutenants who did not have much merit are more loved by the soldiers than themselves.
After coming to Quanrong, he thought that he would receive congratulations from everyone for his great achievements, and King Quanrong would definitely use him again, but he was wrong again. People here still care about Yuan Xingye and Xia Zimo.The daily discussion is still how to defeat them.All his beautiful fantasies have been shattered, and even the official position that was originally promised to him has not been realized now.
The most important thing is that those dog soldiers all looked at him with contempt and disdain.He really wanted to yell, it's all thanks to me that you can have today and take back Black Phoenix City, but he didn't, he endured it.It's just that this kind of patience broke out after Xia Zimo avoided him.
Cheng Jing pulled Xia Zimo's arm hard, and said with a smile, "I'm curious, how did the two women fall in love?"
Xia Zimo held back the fear in his heart, and said angrily, "Bold, even if I am now a prisoner, I am still the concubine of Emperor Daqi, the supervisor of the North Army, and even Khan Quanrong will treat me as a prisoner!" Treat me with courtesy, how dare you treat me like this?" Xia Zimo glared, Cheng Jing also felt a little guilty, and the strength in his hands relaxed a lot.
But the shame of the past few days flooded his heart again, and he exerted force on his hand again, and his whole body was pressed against it.With an evil smile, "Xia Jianjun, Xia Cairen --- that's right. But this is you before, what will happen to you in the future?" After speaking, he looked at Xia Zimo's whole body presumptuously. "In the future, you will be here with Quanrong, living a life that would be worse than death."
Xia Zimo sneered, "You can humiliate me, but if I agree to the military commander's request, do you think I will still be a prisoner? As long as I ask him to kill you, what do you think will happen?"
Cheng Jing was taken aback, and Xia Zimo continued, "Cheng Jing, you actually betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy for your own selfish desires. Do you think this kind of person who has no father and no king can really be reused? You can't rule the country and the military, and they can't stabilize the country. Why do you want to keep a traitor? It will also attract Daqi's dissatisfaction, and if I ask to kill you, I should be able to do so."
"You---" Cheng Jing was furious, he was also very frustrated recently.The confidant who came with him also drank his sorrows every day, and left the country he was familiar with, and came to such a hostile place.And how can Weirong compare to the prosperity of Chang'an.Sometimes he would also think of himself, the scene where he once rode a horse on the streets of Chang'an and saw all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.
Thinking that all the reasons were because of Xia Zimo, Cheng Jing was even more annoyed. He didn't care about his own life at this time, and he didn't care if he could make Xia Zimo and Yuan Xingye suffer if he could get his wish.
The place where Yuan Xingye and the others live is not an inn, but a residential house. The owner here is an internal agent who was placed in Quanrong in the early years. Now Luoyan is in charge of all the scouts and spies here, and these people are naturally used.
The door of the room opened slightly, and a middle-aged man in coarse cloth walked in.He is the owner here, and he has lived in Quanrong for more than ten years. He saluted Yuan Xingye respectfully, and then said, "Marshal." Yuan Xingye turned around, nodded and said, "We will act tonight. It will be exposed, you will leave after we leave, and go to Youzhou to find Luoyan."
Yuan Xingye admired these people who sacrificed their youth for the sake of great enlightenment, but she couldn't care less about them in extreme times.
"Thank you Marshal." The man said, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.Yuan Xingye smiled slightly, no matter how they arranged the plan, now they don't take advantage of the right time and place, and they can only obey the destiny to do their best, even if they die, she also hopes to rescue Xia Zimo.
Thinking of the love in Chang'an and the lingering lingering in Youzhou City, Xia Zimo has already become her flesh and blood, and she can't let go of it. Once separated, it will be a heart-wrenching pain.
Fingers tighten unconsciously.She turned around and picked up the long sword behind her. After learning martial arts, she seldom made a move, because she always felt that she was more suitable to be a commander, rather than a general who fell into battle again.What's more, Yuan Xingye knew that his martial arts took the light route, which was not suitable for fighting on the battlefield.
So all along, few people knew the depth of her martial arts, even Shen Bing and Luo Yan rarely saw her make a move.This time, for Xia Zimo --- there is nothing to keep.
The gaze in his eyes gradually became firm. Xia Zimo had been kidnapped for six days. This morning, a large number of Quanrong soldiers left for Black Wind City. Ye Lihe did not go as a Khan, but Ye Liji did.No matter what, this is already the weakest period of this period of Inunong Kyoto.
At this time, Xia Zimo was confronting Cheng Jing.Xia Zimo was naturally no match for Cheng Jing, and she was quickly cornered.
A trace of despair flashed in Xia Zimo's eyes. She didn't want to die, she wanted to stay in Yuan Xingye's world.But no matter what, she couldn't bear other people's insults.He silently read Yuan Xingye's name in his heart.Then he whispered, "Hoshino, I just hope you don't feel sad because of my death, I'll wait for you under the Nine Springs."
This was what Cheng Jing saw when he walked in. Although Xia Zimo was a little haggard because he hadn't eaten well in the past few days, his demeanor remained undiminished.Her pale face made her even more lovable.With a flash of admiration in his eyes, Cheng Jing walked up to her and said, "Zimo."
