Chapter 426: The Blood Yin Soldiers Retreat
Wei Linglong turned around in disbelief, her eyes widened.
Xie Ling was standing under the arch, her eyes slightly bent, looking at her with a gentle smile.
Wei Linglong looked stunned. She shook her head first, then pinched her arm hard.
After realizing that everything in front of you is not a dream, but reality.
Wei Linglong rushed over in a flash, running without any grace, with her legs spread out like a baby pigeon returning to its nest.
He threw himself into Xie Ling's arms and hugged her slender waist tightly.
The general Gu next to him wanted to take action, but was stopped by Xie Ling.
Xie Ling patted Wei Linglong on the back and said, "Run slower."
"I'm afraid if I blink, my sister will disappear."
Wei Linglong's voice was filled with tears.
When she raised her face, her eyes were full of tears and her small nose had turned red, looking very pitiful.
The girl who was so aggressive just now turned into a wronged child in an instant.
Xie Ling pinched her round little face and said, "How come you haven't grown in three years? You're still so small?"
"Well, I'm not small. I've accomplished great things."
Wei Linglong's tone was like a child asking for praise.
Xie Ling's eyes fell on her bun, and her gaze turned cold. "Why are you in Dongling? What's the matter with this bun?"
Wei Linglong's eyes flickered, and she twisted her hands together, hesitating to say, "It's a long story."
Xie Ling frowned and looked Wei Linglong in the eye. "Linglong, tell me, was it your brother who forced you to marry into the royal family?"
Wei Linglong was stunned for a moment.
I didn't expect Xie Ling to guess it right away.
She opened her mouth slightly, nodded slowly, and then shook her head, "Not entirely, brother, brother did ask me if I wanted to... I volunteered, as a princess, I have the responsibility of a princess. For the sake of Wei Zhao's people, I must do this."
Xie Ling frowned.
"Linglong, I'm not Wei Zhaoren, so I have no right to comment on this matter. As a relative, I just feel that in the eyes of the world, you have clearly faked your death.
If Wei Wuji really cared about you, he should have treated you as dead and chosen other ways to quell the war instead of putting such heavy shackles on you.
Wei Wuji is such a smart man, I don't believe that he only has this method of marriage. If my father and I were here, we would never let you come to Dongling for marriage. I'm sorry, Linglong, I am also responsible for this matter, I should have come back earlier. "
Wei Linglong stared at Xie Ling blankly, and in an instant, tears streamed down her face.
Faced with the concern of her relatives, she could no longer maintain her pride as a princess, and she covered her face and cried bitterly.
"During the war between Dongling and Wei, without my uncle, my uncle, who was a general guarding the country, and his family went to the battlefield. Although they were all loyal and brave, no one survived.
My mother was already sad about my death, and she was even more heartbroken because of this incident. She passed away at such a young age.
When my brother sent someone to Sinan to look for me, due to the hot weather, my mother's body could not be preserved and had already been buried. I didn't even get to see her for the last time. Sister, I am so unfilial!
I went to visit my uncle's family. The once prosperous general's mansion was now home to only a few people. My cousins were only a few years old, and my aunts were heartbroken. My third aunt even committed suicide by banging her head against her coffin on the day the news came back.
As for my grandparents, they were already old and too grief-stricken to pass away like my mother...
There are also tens of thousands of civilians who died in the war. They are even more pitiful...
Although I knew that these scenes were deliberately shown to me by my royal brother.
But, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the people are displaced. Isn't that a fact? How can I not be moved? "
By the end of her speech, Wei Linglong's chest was heaving violently, her eyes were swollen like two walnuts, and she could hardly breathe.
Xie Ling took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, gently wiped Wei Linglong's tear-stained face, and comforted her: "War is cruel and it is inevitable. Whether it is for Wei Zhao or Dongling, the only one who benefits is the person in power.
Linglong, you have been wronged during this period. Don't be afraid. Now that I and your uncle are here, you don't need to sacrifice your own happiness to maintain peace. We have the strength, and you have the confidence. "
At the same time, Xie Ling made up her mind that she must create a peaceful era and make sure that there would be no more wars in this world.
Wei Linglong was stunned, and then she cried even more heartbreakingly, hugging Xie Ling's arm and refusing to let go.
She was the only princess of Wei Zhao.
So from beginning to end.
No one ever asked her if she felt wronged.
The emperor's brother talked to her about filial piety and responsibility.
Tell her how much dowry he will give her, and how amazingly talented and handsome Nangong Yu is.
But he never said how difficult it was to travel thousands of miles from Wei Zhao to Dongling.
How hard it is to bear the strange looks from others in a foreign country.
Being in the royal family, even if she is his only sister, so what? When it comes to matters of imperial power, can't he just use her?
As for her husband.
From the beginning, the two were a couple with bad blood.
She was also prepared to live out her life alone.
But which girl has never fantasized about love?
Have you ever fantasized about finding a perfect husband to accompany you until old age?
She will never know love in her life.
....
Xie Ling held Wei Linglong's hand tightly, and waited until she had cried enough before she soothed her gently, "Don't be afraid, Linglong, everything is fine. I will take you away, I will definitely take you away."
Wei Linglong sobbed and shook her head, "What if I leave and they fight again?"
Xie Ling's eyes were full of helplessness. "There will be no more war. Besides, you are just a weak woman, what can you decide? If the two countries really want to go to war, they will kill you as well. The princess who is married to the emperor will be just a decoration. Be good, let's go back to Beijiang."
Wei Linglong's eyes were full of trust. She nodded vigorously and took the opportunity to act coquettishly.
"Sister is the best."
After saying that, she still looked up uncertainly, "Sister, are they really not going to fight anymore?"
Xie Ling tapped her forehead and said, "Don't worry! First of all, most of Dongling's military forces are in the hands of the Nangong family. The Nangong family suffered such a heavy blow, how can they have the strength to fight Wei Zhao?
Secondly, your uncle has recovered. With him around, who dares to act rashly? "
Wei Linglong was finally relieved, her eyes filled with surprise.
"Great! The emperor's uncle has finally recovered!"
Xie Ling stood up and looked at the group of women, young and old, standing opposite her.
"Are those the wives, concubines and family members of the Nangong family?"
Wei Linglong nodded, "Yes, I wanted to take them away from the Nangong family, but they refused to leave and said they wanted to live and die with the Nangong family."
At this point, Wei Linglong's face changed and she said anxiously: "A Ling, let's go quickly, the bloody soldiers are coming! The Nangong family is in great trouble!"
"fine."
Xie Ling shook her head, "You don't have to leave for now."
Seeing that Wei Linglong still wanted to speak.
Xie Ling whispered something in her ear.
"Gu Wei is here."
Wei Linglong immediately calmed down after hearing this.
Her brother-in-law is a heroic figure who is unstoppable.
All kinds of evil spirits must reveal themselves in front of Gu Wei!
In an instant, the bloody soldiers were no longer scary.
Xie Ling approached the group of women.
The woman in the lead was elegant and calm. She was Wei Linglong's mother-in-law and Nangong Yu's biological mother.
She raised her chin slightly, "We won't leave. If you're here to save Linglong, please do as you please."
"Who said we were leaving? We are here to protect you."
The eldest lady's eyes were full of surprise.
"Why?"
After a pause, she continued, "No matter what, thank you very much. Our Nangong family will definitely reward you handsomely after this matter is resolved!"
Xie Ling shook her head. "Thank you, no need, but you have to promise me one thing."
"what?"
The eldest lady did not agree easily, and there was vigilance in her eyes.
Xie Ling looked at Wei Linglong, who was crying with red eyes.
"A lot of people from your Nangong family must have died today, so it's normal for the young lady to be killed by the bloody soldiers. From now on, there will be no more Wei Linglong in the world!"
The young lady glanced at Wei Linglong.
After spending many days together, she also fell in love with this cute and lively daughter-in-law.
Unfortunately, they are not destined to be a good match between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
She and her own Yu'er are not compatible as a couple.
The lady pondered for a moment and nodded.
"I promise you."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and raised her voice, "Did you hear that? In order to protect us, the young lady has been killed by the blood-curdling soldiers!"
"Understood, Madam!"
It's convenient to deal with smart people.
After Xie Ling finished speaking, she stood there with her arms folded, watching the bloody Yin soldiers who came to assassinate her being eliminated one by one by the Gu family generals.
These women went from being terrified at first to being surprised and amazed, and finally becoming calm.
Anyway, no matter how many come, they will be easily killed by those men in black.
The eldest lady was more suspicious.
Where do these people come from?
Even the Nangong family can’t raise such an elite killer!
They are not enemies anyway.
Otherwise, the Nangong family would really be extinct.
……
The red clouds in the sky became thinner and thinner, and the number of bloody soldiers falling became fewer and fewer.
On the top of the Zhaixing Tower, the young man's face was twisted with anger, "I don't know where Nangong Yu found helpers from! He killed most of our Blood Yin soldiers! It's almost dawn, sir, what should we do now?"
The old man's face also looked unhappy and very gloomy.
"Looking at the strength of that group of people, it will be a waste of effort to send more Blood Yin soldiers. Let's retreat! Otherwise, we will lose more elite soldiers!"
The young man gritted his teeth, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"promise!"
