Chapter 541 People Always Want More

Su Mianyue smiled bitterly. She understood this, but no matter who took the consequences, they could not save those innocent lives. The war was too terrible.

"Yu, when can the world be peaceful? Isn't it good not to fight? The people live and work in peace, the people in power sit on the mountains and rivers, why must we use the price of blood in exchange for the mountains and rivers?" Su Mianyue asked with a frown.

"People don't have enough hearts. People always want more, more." Ji Xun sighed. What he wanted now was to live with Su Mianyue, to calm down the internal turmoil in the Yan Country for a long time, but Ji Xun himself was not sure if there would be any other thoughts after he got them.

After all, people are always changing. The only thing he can be sure of is that he is very happy now. The present life is what he wants.

Su Hao then helped Su Chengye out of the carriage and walked over. Su Chengye had obviously lost a lot of weight on the way, but his spirit was still good. When he heard this, he said: "Since ancient times, emperors have always wished that they could expand their territory while they were in power. Although they had great ambitions, they did so for the sake of preserving their reputation in history. Even if they were called tyrants, Wanyan Lin might have made great achievements as a king in a peaceful and prosperous era. Unfortunately, he could not see the situation clearly. The Hengyuan can't stand the baptism of war."

"Father." Su Mianyue called out. She didn't want Su Chengye to worry about her, so she sat up straight.

"Don't force yourself like this when you have a body. Just take a good rest." How could Su Chengye not see Su Mianyue's exhaustion, but his heartache and worry could only be kept in his heart, and the current situation did not allow them to be coquettish, even if Su Mianyue was a pregnant woman.

"Have you figured out the route back to china?" Su Hao asked ji xun.

"Yes." Ji Xun nodded, "Send the hostages to the next city, and we'll..."

"As long as you know the route, you don't have to wait for me." Su Chengye interrupted Ji Xun's words and looked over at the people in hengyuan. Obviously, he was afraid that the other party's team would be hiding to hear their conversation. The next journey would be difficult, so Su Chengye had to be more careful.

Ji Xun nodded knowingly. The reason why he did not hide Su Chengye and his son was because he regarded them as family, not only because of the identity of his son, but also because they were Su Mianyue's family.

Su Chengye looked at Biwu and said, "Little Biwu is going to hurt you. It's not safe for now. After we settle down, we can hold the adoption ceremony. My daughter of the Su Family can't be wronged."

"Biwu is not wronged. Miss has been treating biwu like a sister. It is Biwu's good fortune to serve her in this life. This is the only place Biwu can thank god." Biwu smiled brightly. She didn't care much about formal things. What she cherished was the happiness of having a family.

After resting for about two incense sticks, the group continued their journey. Because they had horses to take their place, the soldiers who wanted to rob and kill them couldn't catch up with them. Three days later, Empress Dowager and his group were sent to the next city. It wasn't Su Mianyue and the others who should be worried.

Empress Dowager called Su Mianyue at the moment of departure, his eyes full of pleading, "Su Mianyue, what poison did you give the emperor? Now that you are safe, can you give the antidote to the ai family?"

"I can't remember what poison it is, but I didn't take that needle away. I think the Hengyuan's imperial doctor should have the ability to detoxify it. Empress Dowager doesn't need to beg me for it." Su Mianyue's voice was indifferent.

"The emperor and you have a relationship after all. Are you really so heartless and disregarding the emperor's life and death?" Empress Dowager asked again reluctantly.

"If someone wanted to force you to abort your child or kill your family, would Empress Dowager still want them to live a long life?" Su Mianyue smiled sarcastically. When he saw that Empress Dowager was about to speak, he raised his hand to stop him, "Empress Dowager is a mother who rules the world. Maybe he has such a mind. But I, Su Mianyue, am just a woman from all walks of life. I prefer to have a happy relationship with him. Sooner or later, I will end my enemy with my own hands, unless he dies too early."

"But your father and brother are safe and sound, and it's time to resolve this feud." Empress Dowager did not give up and asked again, still hoping to get the antidote, with a motherly heart and a yearning for glory and wealth.

"I'm sorry. I, Su Mianyue, love to hold grudges. Whether our family is safe or not, that's our ability. If we hadn't succeeded in saving people, what would have happened now? Empress Dowager, save your breath." Putting down the curtain, Su Mianyue was too lazy to waste any more words with Empress Dowager.

Right now, she just wanted to leave the territory of the Hengyuan as soon as possible. In the territory of the Hengyuan, she felt physically and mentally uncomfortable. This place gave her more sadness than happiness.

When Ji Xun saw this, he took Su Mianyue into his arms and ordered him to leave. As for whether Empress Dowager, who was still standing there, would eat all the dust, they had nothing to do with it.

Ji Xun chose a route that was not official, so it was definitely not comfortable on the road. Fortunately, there were many villages or valleys along the road, and there were Ji Xun's hidden piles inside, so there was no need to worry about supplies, and Su Mianyue could rest occasionally.

However, when Ji Xun received a secret letter from one of the hidden piles, he could not help but frown and make trouble. With their current manpower, it was sufficient for them to act together, but it would be dangerous if they separated.

Su Mianyue did not read the secret letter, but said softly, "Yu, no matter where you go, I will not leave your side. Instead of dispersing my men to protect us, each of us may be in danger. It would be better for us to act together, which will also save us some trouble."

Ji Xun looked up in the direction of biwu and said helplessly, "The place to go this time is not the dragon pond and tiger den, but I am afraid that Biwu will feel uncomfortable when he goes." Then he handed the letter to Su Mianyue.

Su Mianyue looked at it and thought for a moment, "Biwu should have let go of the past. Perhaps it would be better to see Wu Yuqing before him. Biwu is no longer the one who needs me to protect her. Let her handle her own emotional matters."

Ji Xun nodded, relieved by Su Mianyue's words.

At sunset, Ji Xun and the others arrived at the location described in the letter, a small village facing the river, which looked more peaceful under the setting sun, but judging from the villagers' clothes, it was not rich, but this position could avoid the baptism of war.

The hidden guard led the way and knocked open a farmhouse. The fence wall could not stop any danger at all. The smoke from the earthy house was rising. It was supposed to be cooking dinner.

Ji Xun and his group had passed by to attract the attention of the other villagers, but everyone had tacit understanding that they did not come forward, and they did not dare to use a few courage to offend the noble people, especially the dark guards, who were all dressed in black strong clothes, seemed to be releasing a murderous aura.

"My husband, come out. Is the person you mentioned here?" A woman with a big belly shouted in surprise at the house. Although she was dressed in coarse clothes, her appearance was not ordinary. Most importantly, her temperament was not a peasant woman, but her surprised manner made her exude a different kind of beauty.
