Chapter 368 Can Be Weak (2)

Wanyan Lin, who was struggling, was finally captured by the army. Because su mianyue had ordered that any method could be disregarded as long as he was captured alive, so when Wanyan Lin was captured, he was covered in wounds, and he was also injured by the medicine which made him unable to use internal force, just like when Su Mianyue was trapped in the palace. Not as strong as ordinary people.

Even so, after Shangguan Pei was captured, he still had a haughty look on his face. He just looked at Su Mianyue as if he was spitting poison, and Su Mianyue just smiled coldly.

Just as their eyes met, an arrow broke through the air. It was too late for the deputies to rescue Su Mianyue. Su Mianyue raised his hand and grabbed the arrow. The tip of the arrow cut a drop of black blood in her palm...

The Hengyuan lost too many troops in a row. Even so, the Tianlan did not intend to pursue the victory, but escorted Wanyan Lin back to the capital.

This time, Su Mianyue did not even wait for Mu Tinng's summons. The weather would warm up very quickly. Even if the army did not return, the journey would be delayed for a month, afraid that Shangguan Pei's body would rot.

Su Mianyue's arrows on the battlefield were just a strategy that had been discussed with Barracks before. It would be more heroic to let Shangguan Pei die on the battlefield in this way than to be assassinated in a big tent. Moreover, Shangguan Pei, played by Su Mianyue, had to die in public, otherwise it would be difficult to tell the truth to the whole army.

After the order for the army to rest for three days was passed on, Su Mianyue ordered the people of Barracks to bring back Shangguan Pei's body, and Su Mianyue, who had hidden the two corners of the army, completely returned to Su Mianyue's identity with a shrill cry of dawn on the third day. It made everyone think that Shangguan Pei had just died of poisoning, and it also made the frozen Shangguan Pei coffin appear in everyone's eyes.

"Where is the military doctor? Get out of here. The general is only scratched. Why is he dead? Quack, absolutely quack."

"There must be something else behind the general's death. Capture the murderer and avenge the general."

"It's the Hengyuan. When their emperor was captured, he wanted to kill the general and make our army lose its footing to save their dog emperor."

Voices rang out in the army, trying to kill Wanyan Lin and avenge Shangguan Pei.

Su Mianyue knew that it was not appropriate for her to come forward to save Wanyan Lin's life, but Wanyan Lin was still the king of one country after all. Killing him would probably lead to a greater war between the two countries, and even other countries to use it to attack the Tianlan. The Tianlan, which did not have the god of war, could not afford a major upheaval, so they asked Barracks to protect Wanyan Lin.

Even though the people of Barracks wished that Wanyan Lin had been killed, they understood the meaning of Su Mianyue's actions and knew that Shangguan Pei would start from righteousness rather than revenge.

Because the guard camp was so loyal to Shangguan Pei that even the deputy general of the army would give them face. Wanyan Lin's head was temporarily on his neck, but the treatment he received was definitely the lowest of the captives, and every day he was sitting in an open prison car, without internal force support or freezing to death was his life.

Because he had to wait for the generals from the other cities to send their condolences to Shangguan Pei, Shangguan Pei's ice coffin needed to be kept in the barracks for a few days. Su Mianyue knelt in front of the ice coffin every day to talk to Shangguan Pei. His voice was so soft that even the guards outside the tent could not hear him, but they could clearly feel Su Mianyue's sadness.

"Ze Zhi, the only thing I can do for you is to give you a last journey. What you ancient people believed in most was to return to the roots of the fallen leaves. When you are buried, I will go to look for Yu. I don't believe that he will die like this. Even if he is really dead, I will find his body and bury him. I promised to be his wife in this life. You can't let him go on the road alone, can you?" Su Mianyue smiled at the sleeping beauty in the ice coffin with a mask representing his identity in his hand.

"Tomorrow I will put on the mask for you. General grimace is a symbol of your status. They must want to give the general who is invincible in their hearts a ride. And after wearing this mask for more than ten years, you don't want anyone to look at your face, do you? Don't worry, I'll take off the mask for you before you're buried, and let it be your funeral companion. But you've been hiding it for so long, and now that you're asleep, it's time to take off your disguise." Rubbing against the edges of the mask, Su Mianyue spoke softly, but said what he thought, as if Shangguan Pei could hear him.

"You and I have agreed on the next life, so I can only let you bury yourself in this life. If you are in heaven, then you will bless me, but this life's wish. You said that the most you want to do is to protect me, and watch me happy, I won't let you down. Even if you are in heaven, you will protect me, right?" Her voice was still soft and sweet, but tears flowed down her cheeks.

Ever since Ji Xun's accident and Shangguan Pei's death, Su Mianyue's heart was so painful that he couldn't breathe, and he often woke up crying in the middle of the night. But she was burdened with deep blood feuds and the burden that Shangguan Pei had placed on her. Su Mianyue could only work hard to make herself strong. As long as she was sober, she would not cry, but the pain never disappeared.

"If you are lonely over there, help me to see Xuezhu. Although you haven't met her before, if you see a woman as proud as a bamboo, she is her. In order to save me, she will be humiliated to death by that bastard Wanyan Lin. But I can't bury her. At least now is not the time to find her." Slowly leaning back, Su Mianyue said with tears in his eyes, "You are all good people. If you hadn't met me, maybe nothing would have happened, but..."

Clutching the mask tightly, Su Mianyue closed her eyes and let her tears flow freely. Her teeth left a trail on her pink lips, unwilling to cry.

"I'm sorry... Shangguan Pei is really sorry. If it wasn't for saving me, you wouldn't have been poisoned, and you wouldn't have been unable to deal with an assassin. I distracted you. I was clearly not capable enough, but I always wanted revenge. I hurt Yu, you, Xuezhu, and even my family. But now that my enemy is right in front of me, I can't kill him willfully, but I really hate... I hate that I once loved him, and if I didn't know him clearly, I wouldn't have met you. I'm also afraid... I'm afraid that I'll implicate the important people around me again. I just want to live well and live happily, but..."

"What should I do? Tell me, what can I do to protect those who are still important to me? What can I do to make you laugh?"

"Shangguan Pei, don't sleep anymore. This cold coffin is not suitable for you to lie down for so long. Get up and take a look. Your country needs you. Your comrades who fight to the death with you need you. Now I need you too. Can you wake up?"

"Yu, where are you? Where can I find you? Shangguan Pei, your best friend, is dead. I killed General Shangguan, who you helped. Do you know that?"

Her body fell to the ground limply, and Su Mianyue curled up in a ball and cried silently.

Although there was a chill on the ground, it was not as cold as her heart, and no amount of tears could bring back the lives of the dead, but now Su Mianyue did not know what else to do besides vent his sadness.

It should be okay for her to be presumptuous and weak when no one else is around...
