C373 At the Beginning(1)

After Mo Lan left, Dongfang Xuan came in. The long period of battle had worn down the cool and clear look between his brows, and his usually elegant aura had a few traces of killing intent and hostility.

When he looked at Dongfang Jin, his gaze was slightly restrained, and his deep eyes carried a complex and bright light that he couldn't understand.

When he saw Royal Mother die in his hands that day, his rationality was instantly replaced by anger. The bitterness and disappointment that was stuck in his throat had thrown him into chaos.

But after settling down these few days, he felt that Third Brother and Han were not like this kind of people.

In his opinion, although Third Brother was cold and distant by nature, he was not the kind of person who would indiscriminately kill innocents. Furthermore, Han was very close to him and was his best friend. He naturally understood Han's temperament. On account of him, she would not easily kill his Royal Mother.

However, no matter how many reasons he gave himself, he would not be able to convince himself. Because he would never forget that he had ruthlessly slit Royal Mother's throat with his sword. After that, he admitted that he was the one who killed Royal Mother.

That was right, he had clearly moved his killing intent and did not want to find another reason. As long as he thought of this, it was enough to ignite all of his anger and hatred!

When he walked in front of Dongfang Jin, Dongfang Xuan had already restrained all of his complicated feelings.

His eyes were emotionless, and it was clear that he was alienating him.

"Greetings, Marshal!"

Regardless of their grudges and grudges, now that the country was in trouble, he was the descendant of the Dongfang royal family. Naturally, he understood the severity of the matter and prioritized the world's righteousness.

"I sent you here because I have something to tell you to do!" Dongfang Jin's tone was gentle, and his deep eyes flickered with the aura of a king that could make people submit to him.

"What is it?"

Dongfang Jin's brows were clear and shallow, but Dongfang Xuan could faintly feel a trace of complication. Before he could get to the bottom of it, a gentle voice sounded.

"I will let Mo Feng pretend to be me, then you will follow Mo Feng to delay Beiming Yu."

Dongfang Xuan didn't expect such an order, and he was stunned. However, military orders were as heavy as a mountain. Furthermore, he believed that with his wisdom and close proximity, he naturally had his own plans.

"Yes." Dongfang Xuan accepted this mission without hesitation.

Dongfang Jin explained some details of the battle to him. Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was lifted and Su Qingyi, who was dressed in neat clothes, walked in.

She glanced at Dongfang Xuan and saw that he had only glanced at her at the beginning and had never looked at her again. She lowered her eyes and felt a little sour in her heart.

Then, he shifted his gaze to Dongfang Jin and asked with a smile, "Jin, do you have any orders for me to come here?"

Dongfang Jin smiled elegantly, then pointed his finger at a canyon not far away from the battle between the two armies. His voice was gentle, but it carried a killing intent.

"I want you to lead Lyi Beichen here."

They naturally knew about this canyon when they saw it. This canyon was not long and narrow, and it was spacious on top. It was not easy to set up an ambush.

What could they do to lure them here?

Thinking of this, Su Qingyi asked.

Dongfang Jin's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were dark. "There is no need to set up an ambush. As long as Lyi Beichen is lured here, I have my own plans!"

This time, the two of them finally understood that Dongfang Jin was going to attack Lyi Beichen!

But why did he do it himself? Although Lyi Beichen was powerful, Dongfang Xuan was not weak either.

Adding her, the two of them could still deal with Lyi Beichen together.

She originally wanted to ask again, but seeing Dongfang Jin's gloomy expression, Su Qingyi decisively gave up on asking. Although their relationship was better than others, Su Qingyi had always been more respectful towards Dongfang Jin.

But Dongfang Xuan was different. He and Lan Xuehan met earlier. He naturally knew the relationship between Lan Xuehan and Lyi Beichen. If Dongfang Jin wanted to deal with Lyi Beichen, he was afraid that Lyi Beichen wouldn't be able to live so well at the beginning of the war.

The only explanation was that Dongfang Jin didn't attack Lyi Beichen because of Lan Xuehan.

So what was the only reason he changed his mind?

Did he not know that if he killed Lyi Beichen, given Han's character, she would definitely have a conflict with him? Or was it that he had other plans?

Other plans? When he thought of these four words, he combined it with Dongfang Jin's series of arrangements.

Dongfang Xuan's heart was stirred up. If it was really as he thought, then he would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with Han.

The three of them discussed this battle plan for a long time until night fell and the three of them finished discussing it.

Su Qingyi looked at them and then said, "Then I will go and deploy first!"

Dongfang Jin nodded. Su Qingyi glanced at Dongfang Xuan and found that he did not finish discussing as usual. He was afraid that he would stay with Dongfang Jin for a few minutes longer. A trace of doubt slid across her heart.

But she still turned around and left.

After Su Qingyi left, Dongfang Xuan originally wanted to ask again, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he realized that he did not have any position to ask.

His expression turned cold, and then he suppressed the rolling emotions in his heart. He said lightly, "Then I will also go out first."

Dongfang Jin did not answer. Instead, when he turned around, he said lightly, "As you think, I can attack anyone, but I will not touch the person she cares about.

However, this battle had come at a bad time. It doesn't matter to me whether the world is in my hands or not, but she has no time to wait when she is pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Xuan understood. He didn't say anything and left Dongfang Jin's tent.

After leaving the tent, he saw Su Qingyi who was not far away. Her footsteps were only slightly hesitant, but she still turned around without hesitation.

Su Qingyi was waiting for him here. How could she let him leave so easily?

"Prince Ann, wait!" She shouted as she ran towards him.

The etiquette he had received since he was young would not allow him to leave in such an ungentlemanly manner. Dongfang Xuan answered and turned to look at the person who had come.

The afterglow of the setting sun rested on her body. Her beautiful eyes were bright and filled with unconcealed adoration.

Dongfang Xuan looked at this kind of gaze. He did not realize that the disgust in his eyes had long disappeared. There was only a kind of habit and shallow gentleness in his eyes.

"What's the matter?" Dongfang Xuan looked at her running over. His voice was cold, but there was not much alienation or disgust in it.

Su Qingyi clearly saw the change in Dongfang Xuan. She was very happy in her heart. That kind of joy was like lying on cotton, soft and warm. Even the surrounding air had a happy taste.

It was also thanks to Lan Xuehan that she encouraged her when she wanted to give up.

Otherwise, she was afraid that she would have to leave behind regrets for the rest of her life.

"I just want to ask you, do you know the reason why Jin arranged this plan? Wasn't he his opponent before this? Was it Beiming Yu? Why did he suddenly attack Lyi Beichen this time?"
