Chapter 596 Finale (V)
The wind was silent, and no one answered.
Feng Yun looked at him quietly, "They used to say that people from Qi were not worthy of being reused, but I didn't think so. It seems that I was really wrong. A good thought can cause endless troubles!"
Shen Tu Jiong didn't say anything, just looked at her silently, and waved to the people beside him.
"Take the queen away."
Feng Yun looked at the servants who came over, frowned, and scolded coldly, "Assholes! Look carefully, who am I? You are soldiers of Dayong, who should you obey?"
Shen Tu Jiong is from Qi, and it's fine if he has a heart of Qi. Feng Yun didn't believe that all the Nanyong troops here were of the same mind as the Qi army.
However, the servants were unmoved.
Shen Tu Jiong just sighed.
"Don't be afraid, my queen, I won't hurt you."
He waved his hand again, "Take it away!"
Feng Yun saw the people around him standing quietly, just looking at him coldly, his heart sank, and he glared at the two guards, "I will go by myself."

Lock Key Ridge
Xiao Cheng was stunned for a moment as he looked at the black mass of enemy soldiers rushing over.
At this moment, all military tactics and strategies failed.
It was not because there was an ambush in the Snake Gorge. He had predicted this and was prepared to sacrifice some people.
He just didn't expect that before his army completely entered the ridge, the enemy would be exposed first.
Then, the generals came up and immediately engaged in a melee with the Qi army, slowing down their progress.
The enemy's intentions were difficult to understand--
Several Qi army generals were also a little confused.
"Is the Yong army crazy?"
Xiao Cheng didn't speak.
The soldiers of both sides fought hand-to-hand and meleeed.
There was no formation, no tactics, just hand-to-hand combat, and the fight was indistinguishable...
Xiao Cheng suddenly realized something.
"Not good. We've been tricked."
He looked at the torches that were as bright as daylight in the silent mountains.
"Pass the order down, quickly get away, don't fight with the other side."
Xu Chi was beside him and shouted when he heard the sound.
"Your Majesty, we can't get away. They are entangled with us..."
He said again: "Gongsun, take the guards to cover your Majesty's departure first."
Gongsun answered loudly: "Yes. Protect your Majesty."
"Protect your Majesty——"
"Protect your Majesty quickly!"
The sound of killing was like thunder.
The horse neighed loudly.
Xiao Cheng looked at the chaotic situation in front of him, silent, frowned in confusion, under his calm face, waves surged, and his blood almost boiled...
This was not done by Pei Cong.
It was not done by him either.
Then, who else is there in Dan County, in Suoyaoling?
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
He and Pei Cong are the two snipe and the clam, fighting to the death on the front battlefield...but someone wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
But who is this person?
Who else could it be?
Xiao Cheng became alert because of his own thoughts.
He rode on the horse, retreating step by step, but his eyes were fixed on the valley of Suoyaoling.
"Xu Chi."
He ordered in a deep voice.
"Go back to the camp quickly and inform Xie Congguang to call off the troops immediately."
Call off the troops?
Stop fighting?
Xu Chi did not ask why, but reined in his horse and turned around.
"I obey your orders!"
-
Feng Yun lost her ability to move.
Sitting in a sealed carriage, swaying, not knowing where she would go.
She had not felt completely out of control for a long time...
After a brief shock, she gradually calmed down.
In the past ten years, with Changmen and Pei Jue, she had lived a smooth and prosperous life for too long. She went from not trusting anyone at first to becoming more and more trusting of the people around her...
She became softer.
Her vigilance gradually degenerated.
She had never thought that she would be captured in the camp of the Great Yong Army.
Today's events were very strange. Shentu Jiong did not explain the whole story to her, and she could not figure out a clear logic, but she had an intuition that made her particularly panic.
It was as if something important was slowly draining away from her body, and she couldn't control it...
This feeling was terrible.
It made her powerless and tormented, as if she was immersed in a fog and couldn't see the truth...
The carriage went from bumpy to stable and onto the official road.
She didn't know where they would take her, and closed her eyes silently.
The most important thing was to stay calm in the face of change.
It was most important to sleep to keep her physical strength and mind clear.
She didn't sleep well last night and fell asleep quickly. She didn't even feel the rope on her wrists that was deeply tied into her flesh...
-
When she woke up, it was already dark.
The vision was pitch black, with only the wind lamp in front of the carriage emitting a dim light through the curtain.
Feng Yun leaned against the wall of the carriage, her body stiff, waiting silently.
The carriage was stationary and not moving.
There were noisy footsteps around, but no one spoke.
Until a sound of horse hooves came from far away and stopped in front of the carriage, someone greeted her.
"Meet the governor."
There is only one governor in the entire Yong Dynasty.
Feng Yun's heart was shocked, and she subconsciously jumped up.
"Brother..."
She shouted briefly, full of joy.
The dark sky, a light shone in.
The curtain was opened, and a familiar figure stood in front of her.
The body was upright, and the eyes were deep.
It was Wen Xingsu without a doubt.
But the joy on Feng Yun's face faded.
In silence, her eyes were red, her palms were cold, and she just looked at Wen Xingsu, and Shen Tujiong, Yang Qi, and a group of familiar faces who stood quietly not far behind him.
After a long time...
She calmed down her breathing and smiled calmly.
"It's you."
Wen Xingsu did not answer, and looked at Shen Tujiong coldly, "Untie."
Shen Tujiong and Wen Xingsu have been brothers for decades, and he knows his temper very well, and knows how much he loves this sister.
If he had not had to, he would certainly not tie Feng Yun up.
But, tying her up and being scolded is better than being scolded if she runs away.
"Yes." Shen Tujiong stepped forward quickly.
"Get out." Feng Yun shouted him away.
Slowly, she struggled to sit up straight, making herself more upright, staring at Wen Xingsu without blinking.
"What benefits did Xiao San give you?"
Wen Xingsu did not answer.
Feng Yun laughed at herself, and her passion was cooling down.
"It's been thirteen years. I didn't expect that you were in Cao's camp but your heart was with Han, and you were still thinking about working for Xiao San. I'm very curious, what did he promise to give you to buy you?"
"He can't give me anything." Wen Xingsu stared at Feng Yun coldly, and the moonlight shone on his silver armor, as if it was coated with a layer of faint light.
"I'm not doing it for him either."
"Then what are you doing it for?"
Wen Xingsu didn't speak.
"Tell me!" Feng Yun was stern.
As brothers and sisters who grew up together, their feelings have long been integrated into Feng Yun's bones and blood. Now she has to take a knife and peel it off bit by bit with her own hands, which hurts her whole heart.
She couldn't figure it out.
Even if Wen Xingsu admitted to betrayal himself, she couldn't figure it out.
Why did he betray?
What reason did he have to betray?
"For Madam Chen, right?"
In silence, Feng Yun asked calmly.
Wen Xingsu still didn't answer, standing upright in the light and shadow, and said after a long time: "Untie the rope."
The rope cut into her flesh, leaving her hands black and blue.
But Feng Yun seemed not to feel it. She was in pain as if her heart was torn apart. She was immersed in great sorrow, and her expression was frozen.
After being reborn, she vowed not to be betrayed again...
She severed her father-daughter relationship with Feng Jingting early, broke away from the shackles of the Feng family, cut off all feelings and love, swept Xiao San into the cesspool, and was determined to wash away all the shame of the past, not to be a slave to emotions, and even fought with Pei Jue for ten years for this. The child was seven years old, and she didn't say a word of true love...
She would not be betrayed again.
No one would torture her like in the last life, use her emotions to control her soul, make her unable to extricate herself, and make her heartbroken...
I didn't expect...
She changed herself, but she couldn't change her fate.
The feeling of thousands of arrows piercing her heart still came.
"Waist." Wen Xingsu walked up to the carriage and reached out to pull her.
Feng Yun turned aside, looked up at him, and said coldly, "Why don't you answer? Don't you know how to say it?"
Her voice was a little sharp.
She was not as calm as usual.
She was even a little hysterical.
Because this person was Wen Xingsu.
He was the only brother she thought she could trust the most.
Wen Xingsu grabbed her wrist and pulled it in. He first hugged her into his arms and held her tightly in his arms before untying the rope on her wrist.
"Wen Xingsu." Feng Yun raised her knees and suddenly pressed against his waist.
Wen Xingsu took two steps back reflexively and fell into the carriage in pain. He looked at her angry little face with cold eyes, and his eyes slowly moved down to her dark purple wrist.
"Don't you hurt? Aren't you most afraid of pain?"
"No matter how painful it is, it's not as good as the knife you stabbed me with!"
Feng Yun roared in a low voice and glanced at her coldly with sarcasm.
"Is it because of Madam Chen? Because I punished her in Huaxi, flogged her in public, and corrected the village rules, that made you hate her, right?"
He sneered again, "Why didn't I know before that you are a filial son. Even though Madam Chen never cared about you and devoted her whole heart to Feng Liang, you still couldn't let go of this mother. Wen Xingsu, you are just a foolish filial son!"
Wen Xingsu pursed his lips and looked at her without saying a word.
Feng Yun glared at him as if venting.
Many things that were previously unclear, now all became clear.
"Did you kill Awan?"
"Yes." This time Wen Xingsu did not hesitate.
Cold, without a trace of hesitation.
"She doesn't deserve to live in this world."
Feng Yun's expression stagnated for a moment, and she laughed softly.
The laugh was self-deprecating, and she gritted her teeth in pain.
"I'm so stupid. Why didn't I think of it at that time..."
She never doubted Wen Xingsu, even if there might have been a moment of speculation in her mind, it was quickly denied.
The day Awan died was Wen Xingsu's wedding.
He was the one who could not spare the time.
He was also the happiest groom that day.
After so many years, Feng Yun even remembered Wen Xingsu's smile that day, which was jokingly called "the proudest thing in life, the wedding night", gentle and elegant, like a spring breeze.
"Brother..."
Feng Yun gritted his teeth, indescribably heartbroken.
"Tell me, what do you want? We can obviously solve it in another way? Why do you want to rely on Xiao Cheng?!"
"I didn't rely on him." Wen Xingsu slowly squatted in front of her, pulled her stubborn arm, his eyes sparkling.
"I don't want anything but you."
Feng Yun stared at him in astonishment, as if struck by lightning.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Wen Xingsu lowered his head and stroked her messy hair with his palms. There was unspeakable helplessness in his eyes, "You taught me about waist and waist."
Feng Yun was extremely shocked.
Wen Xingsu's fingertips felt cool, and the night wind blew in, blowing his hair on the temples.
"You said that only when you have the authority can you fulfill your wishes."
Feng Yun sneered.
He sighed slightly, his eyes seemed to sparkle.
"Splendid country and beautiful woman will eventually belong to the strong."
"Brother." Feng Yun suddenly laughed, "Let me tell you a secret."
Wen Xingsu looked at her deeply.
"What?"
Feng Yun smiled and enunciated each word very clearly, as if he was afraid that he could not hear clearly, so he spoke slowly, "Your father, I mean your biological father, was poisoned by your mother Chen, together with Feng Jingyao... ”
Wen Xingsu looked at the smile in her eyes and squatted there, looking at her, motionless.
"Feng Jingyao admitted it himself when he was in Yushitai Prison. I wasn't going to tell you originally..."
Feng Yun glanced at him with a sad expression.
"Because I know how painful it is for my mother to be killed by my father. I don't want you to be sad, and I don't want you to feel the same as me...the loneliness of betrayal and separation."
Wen Xingsu looked at her quietly.
He didn't speak.
