C527 I will Personally Lead the Charge
Night. It was another sleepless night.
Even though Mu Haiyang was lying beside Lyi Xuanzhi, she could not sleep. She looked at him and stared at him without blinking. It was as if she wanted to engrave his appearance into her heart and would never forget it.
The next day.
Before they could continue attacking, they heard Xiao Qi reporting the news of Yue Niansheng personally leading the army.
Mu Haiyang was not surprised at all.
"Losing two cities in a row, it is only natural for Yue Niansheng to lead the army personally. It is just that this time we are on the defensive. Before we can gain a foothold in Second City, we will have to face the enemy head-on." One of them said.
"Army... Princess, what do you think?" General Cheng smiled.
He already treated Mu Haiyang as a think tank and would look for Mu Haiyang whenever there was a problem. He believed that as long as Mu Haiyang dared to say it, they would dare to realize everything she said and achieve their goal.
Mu Haiyang smiled and said, "This time I have no other choice. The Emperor personally led the army in order to raise morale. We can kill one but we can't kill the army that he brought. First, defend. Second, defend. Third, still defend. After all, he can't keep wasting time on the battlefield. As long as we drag him out, there's nothing he can do about it."
These words had gained the agreement of many people. If they were in Lyi Jiazhi's shoes, their morale would skyrocket. Of course, that would be the same for the other party.
Defending could reduce death and waste more time.
But what they did not know was that Mu Haiyang had already made up her mind to go to the Moon Abyss. Whether they defended or not would not be of much use.
They also took advantage of these few days when they did not attack. Instead, they comforted the people who stayed in the city, making them gain the support of the people these few days.
"Maybe they are more suitable..." Mu Haiyang looked at the bustling people on the city wall and muttered.
"One more day, he will come. Is he going to fight again?"
Her gaze drifted far away in the direction of King of Yueyuan City. She didn't even notice Lyi Xuanzhi walking over. It was only when he hugged her from behind that she reacted.
They looked at each other in silence, but they both smiled gently.
Lyi Xuanzhi's smile was that she accompanied him by his side, while Mu Haiyang's smile carried some guilt.
She thought, "I'm going to lie to you again, and I'm going to leave again... After this, you can go and find Yici!"
Everything was normal and there was nothing wrong with it.
At night. Mu Haiyang went to find Lingsu. He was the only one who could help her.
"Lingsu..." Mu Haiyang called outside his tent.
Yee Lingsu, however, felt uneasy. He sat in front of the table and forgot to respond. It was not until Mu Haiyang spoke again that he let her in.
Lingsu's eyes always showed tenderness towards her. He said, "Ci, this is the second time you took the initiative to look for me. The first time you asked me to help you transfer Lyi Xuanzhi away. What about this time?"
Mu Haiyang lowered her head and said, "Lingsu, I'm sorry. This time you still have to help me!"
"What's the reason?"
Mu Haiyang walked over and sat beside Lingsu. She was silent for a long time before she said, "Lingsu, I... I'm not from here. I want to go home, so I don't want him to..."
"Can't you take him home with you?"
She firmly said, "No!"
It was not that she couldn't, but that she didn't even know what to do to count as returning home. Heavenly Offering? What exactly was Heavenly Offering? What was Heavenly Offering? Who wanted the Heavenly Offering? She didn't know, but she knew that it was still above the White Wall. She told Lingsu everything that happened to Qing Yuzhuo.
"I only trust you. I hope you can take good care of Xun-er and him. If I can come back, I will definitely come back. If I can't, please help me lie to him! Tell him that Yici is above White Wall... "
"Ci, do you know what the Heavenly Offering is?" Lingsu asked doubtfully.
Mu Haiyang did not answer him but shook her head. Lingsu was deep in thought. After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "But you are not afraid of him... Do you know that I will hate you in the future? "
"I can no longer care about many things. Compared to me, I am too small. Anhe is more suitable to be the ruler of Anhe than Yue Yuan. Helping him is also helping the people of the world. We must win this battle! "
Mu Haiyang had already thought about it before coming here. She could sacrifice herself to become the ruler of Anhe. That way, she would die.
"Yue Niansheng has brought Ho Yun'er and Yue Xintong with him. I think you already know what he wants to do, right?"
"I know. He wants to use their lives to threaten me and threaten me to go back, so you must help me." Mu Haiyang looked at him firmly.
There was silence again.
After a while, she sighed and said, "Sigh... I will help you lie to him."
"Thank you, Lingsu!" Mu Haiyang's eyes were filled with tears as she hugged him.
Every breath of hers was by his ear. Lingsu helped her in the end. He patted her on the back and asked, "Are you leaving tonight?"
She nodded on his shoulder. She really could not open her mouth to say goodbye.
Mu Haiyang hugged his hand and withdrew it. She took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Lingsu. "Give this letter to him. I... I am leaving!"
Even if she was reluctant, so what? She still had to leave. Mu Haiyang did not stop for a moment. She took a horse and left the camp overnight.
On the snowy night, footprints were quickly covered. No one sent her, and no one knew where she went.
"Ci, you... You really don't know about the Heavenly Offering? Master, this is the reason why you won't let Ci go. Heavenly Offering! Use her to exchange for the Heavenly Offering to fight Yue Niansheng. This is your goal. " Lingsu stood in the snow and looked for a long time. His entire head was covered with snow.
"What should have come has finally come. Ci... it was them who left home and let you down. For the sake of this world, for the sake of this country, they used you as a sacrifice!"
After standing in the snow and muttering for a long time, the cloak had also turned into frost. The tears that appeared in his eyes did not remain in his eyes and could not flow out no matter what.
"Ci ~"
The early morning of winter came late, but this day came early.
Lyi Xuanzhi woke up from his dream, but found that there was no one around him. He reached his hand to the place where she had slept, but it was so cold that it was scary. A wave of uneasiness rose in his heart.
Just as he woke up, the last trace of calming incense in the tent disappeared. He could not find any trace of it.
He called Mu Haiyang a few times, but he still did not hear any response. Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he went out of the tent.
"Lingsu, have you seen Haiyang?" He asked with a frown.
"She went back to Anhe. Last night, someone came and said Xun Er was sick. She went back because she was worried and asked me to tell you." Lingsu said faintly.
Although Lyi Xuanzhi was a little worried, he heard what Lingsu said at this moment. Moreover, it was Xun Er. It was very normal for her to go back to the Imperial City. Thus, the uneasiness in her heart dissipated.
"Yue Niansheng is here!"
Standing on top of the city, Lyi Xuanzhi narrowed his eyes and looked forward.
"This battle is unavoidable. Listen to Ci. Guard! Hold on and don't come out." Lingsu quickly said.
"It's so cold in winter. He actually personally led the army." Lyi Xuanzhi never thought that he would really come.
He guessed, "Maybe it's a pretense?"
