256. Captive

Mu Zhenxuan regained consciousness and felt a severe pain on his forehead. He couldn't help but groan and his body trembled.

Not far away, Lu Zhe, who was lying on the ground, also woke up quietly, feeling weak all over. He raised his heavy eyelids and saw a bright yellow ball in his sight, hazy, but very eye-catching.

Lu Zhe looked closely and was shocked! Although he had never seen the Emperor of Western Liao before, he was sure that this was Ji Xu! Because Wei He must have captured him in Western Liao, there would be no other person except Ji Xu!

The person behind Qing Mei was actually Ji Xu! This idea made Lu Zhe's heart beat wildly, knowing that he was having a big deal this time!

Originally, Lu Zhe and Yuan Qiu joined forces to get rid of Qing Mei and push Rong Lan to the top. Everything was not as expected, but it went smoothly, making Lu Zhe proud and waited for Rong Lan to be the king of him, with a glory.

Unexpectedly, when a change occurred, Lu Zhe became a prisoner of the Western Liao royal family. He knew that Wei He would definitely attribute all the failures to his destruction to shirk responsibility. He also knew the grudges and hatred between Ji Xu and Rong Lan. Seeing Mu Zhenxuan's miserable and embarrassed look, Lu Zhe felt nervous and forced himself to calm down and think about countermeasures...

Mu Zhenxuan woke up after a brief confusion. He had seen Ji Xu. Seeing Ji Xu's face clearly, Mu Zhenxuan's face turned pale.

"Mu Zhenxuan, do you recognize me?" Ji Xu asked coldly.

Lu Zhe: Who else can you call yourself me? Judging from the way Ji Xu treated Rong Lan in the past, he was definitely a crazy person at heart.

Seeing that Ji Xu attached more importance to Mu Zhenxuan, Lu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about observing Ji Xu's words and deeds in secret, and considering what he would do to escape.

Mu Zhenxuan's face looked extremely ugly, "His Majesty the Western Emperor..."

Ji Xu sneered when he heard this, "You are aware of the current affairs! In order to please Rong Lan, didn't you threaten to share the same sympathy with me in front of the two armies? Where did your backbone go?"

Mu Zhenxuan's face froze, and Lu Zhe was speechless: "Bonesty? Mu Zhenxuan never had such a thing, and he only had benefits in his eyes. In other words, with enough benefits, Mu Zhenxuan could play a resolute, courageous and backbone person.

Ji Xu was originally a mockery and did not need Mu Zhenxuan to answer.

"I didn't understand at the beginning, why did Rong Lan get blind? She fell in love with you like a guy? But now, I understand." Ji Xu snorted lightly.

Mu Zhenxuan looked stunned. I wonder what Ji Xu understood? In fact, he didn't understand this problem himself, or he actually knew it, but he never wanted to face it.

Ji Xu sneered, "Rong Lan has never liked you. She just wanted to gain a foothold in Dongming, want a family, and want children. You were just by her at that time. She is not an ordinary woman at all, never tired of love, and your messy things can't hurt her. She wants to revive the Rong family and need children, the more the better. Therefore, even the wild breeders you and Liu Manshu have to take as sons. These children will be the sword in her hand and the shield in front of her, which can allow her to get everything she wants! Now, she has even easily obtained the throne!"

Mu Zhenxuan knew that Ji Xu was saying this on purpose.

Mu Zhenxuan can't forget the scene when she was away and was "swept out of the house". What's ridiculous is that many of Ji Xu's words are true. For example, Rong Lan never really likes Mu Zhenxuan, and Mu Zhenxuan can't hurt her anything. Rong Lan does care about her children the most. Although she does not want to use her children to revive the Rong family and revenge, her children will sooner or later help her achieve this wish.

When Mu Zhenxuan looked back, all the things he had obtained had become dreams and no longer existed. Perhaps people thought that he had conquered Rong Lan and obtained Rong Lan, but at this moment Mu Zhenxuan didn't want to admit it, but had to admit that he was the one who was really conquered. He longed to get Rong Lan's heart, so he worked very hard for this, but never did it.

If Mu Zhenxuan is more proud than Ji Xu? Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, he should be proud that he once had Rong Lan, but Mu Zhenxuan really couldn't be proud.

Ji Xu at least got Rong Lan's hatred, and Mu Zhenxuan had been a couple with Rong Lan for so many years, but in the end he got was complete indifference and ignorance.

He made a mistake, but he was really unwilling to accept it...

Ji Xu's words pulled back Mu Zhenxuan's thoughts, "Mu, do you think, what value do you have to do now? Let me let you have a way out?"

Mu Zhenxuan remained silent. He could not help Xi Liao lead troops to attack Dongming, Ji Xu would not let him go, and the soldiers of Xi Liao could not obey him, and he did not want to do so. His children are all by Rong Lan's side now, and they will never care about his life or death.

"Wei He has worked hard to bring you back from Dongming. I have considered this matter and believed that there is only one thing that can reflect your value. As the only man of the Empress of Dongming, who helped her fight against the Western Liao general, I feel that I will execute you in front of the two armies, one by one, one by one, comfort the souls of the soldiers of the Western Liao, and let your former subordinates in Dongming see your fate with their own eyes. At the same time, I want to tell Rong Lan that my heart towards her has never changed, and that I am so cruel to you is because I am jealous of you. Hahahaha!"

Listening to Ji Xu's crazy laughter, Mu Zhenxuan's face was bloodless. Lu Zhe sighed again in his heart, this was really a madman.

However, it has to be said that Lu Zhe felt that although Ji Xu looked crazy, he had clear goals in his work. If he really put Mu Zhenxuan in front of the formation, it would probably be the greatest value of Mu Zhenxuan's life.

Regardless of whether Rong Lan cares about Mu Zhenxuan or not, this is her former husband and the biological father of some of her children. As for the dirty things between Mu Zhenxuan and Liu Manshu, it is actually nothing in the eyes of many people. After all, there are more men in this world, including three wives and four concubines, especially the nobles, who have many secrets behind their backs.

When Jun Zhaolin was in power, he personally issued an order to exile Mu Zhenxuan. Later, Mu Zhenxuan disappeared by himself, so there were not many criticisms of Rong Lan.

But if Mu Zhenxuan became a prisoner of Western Liao and was executed by cruel means by the Western Liao royal family, as a person who once made great achievements for the Dongming, if Rong Lan did not save him because of his personal morality, he would definitely be criticized. And those three Mu Zhenxuan's biological children would also be labeled as cold-blooded and ruthless.

This move may not be very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.

When the two countries confront each other, the face of the king is also crucial.

Mu Zhenxuan also knew that if Ji Xu really planned to do that, he didn't expect anyone in Dongming to save him, just to kill him in the most humiliating way. Therefore, it was meaningless to say anything Mu Zhenxuan, he was just a tool for Ji Xu to vent his anger.

Seeing Mu Zhenxuan's face turned dead, Ji Xu felt bored, "Aren't you quite capable? You didn't say anything, is this accepting your fate?"

Mu Zhenxuan smiled bitterly and closed his eyes, "Whatever you think, what you do. Rong Lan never belongs to me, and it will never belong to you."

Hearing the last sentence, Ji Xu suddenly got up and walked over, kicking Mu Zhenxuan hard!

Mu Zhenxuan vomited blood, letting Ji Xu beat him, and he kept his eyes closed and endured silently.

When Mu Zhenxuan was kicked to Lu Zhe by Ji Xu, Ji Xu seemed to notice that there was a second prisoner. His eyes narrowed slightly, kicked Mu Zhenxuan away, and looked at Lu Zhe, "You joined forces with Rong Yuanqiu to harm Qing Mei at a critical moment, and she won't ignore you!"

Lu Zhe lost his iron hand at some point. He supported the ground with his handless right arm, slowly sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes and said, "I wonder if there is anyone who can serve His Majesty the Western Emperor?"

Ji Xu smiled and said, "I heard that you know the most about the current affairs. It's true. I don't need you to do anything. I just want to let you go home and reunite with my wife and children."

Lu Zhe knew that he was going to be taken as a hostage, and Ji Xu would definitely negotiate terms with Rong Lan and Yuan Qiu.

The next moment, Ji Xu snorted coldly and said, "Last year, I found a princess for the ninth princess Yuexuan. I was about to get married, but when something unexpected happened, the man ran away. But Yuexuan has deep feelings for that man. I have to find him back and continue what had not been completed last year, so that Yuexuan is infatuated with her."

Lu Zhe didn't show it on his face, but he knew very well what Ji Xu was talking about.

Last year, Mu Zhenxuan and Rong Yuancheng fell into a trap in the northwest. In the crisis, Mu Zhenxuan gave up Rong Yuancheng to give him a custody. He escaped from heaven, but Rong Yuancheng fell into the hands of the people of Western Liao. Soon after, Ji Xu announced that the world would hold a marriage for his beloved daughter Ji Yuexuan and Rong Lan's beloved son Rong Yuancheng, and even enthroned Rong Lan as the Duke of the Kingdom of Western Liao, allowing Rong Yuancheng to be the prince of the Duke of Rong...

Unexpectedly, Rong Yuancheng escaped successfully, Ji Xu made a "hard" arrangement, and finally he was useless.

Lu Zhe felt that the possibility of Ji Yuexuan's deep love for Rong Yuancheng was too small, but Ji Xu wanted to get involved with Rong Lan and use this to control Rong Lan.

"What do you think?" Ji Xu asked Lu Zhe.

Lu Zhe sighed lightly, "Although I know that my aunt will not give up her son to save me, I can be sure that she will save me."

Ji Xu smiled when he heard this, "It's great!"

Lu Zhe now does not have the mentality that as long as he can live, it is okay to let Rong Yuancheng take charge. He really wants to survive, but at the same time he has no choice. Ji Xu thinks he is valuable, and this is his chance to save his life. As for whether the Rong family will save him and how he will save him, it is not something Lu Zhe can decide.

Soon, Lu Zhe met Ji Yuexuan, the ninth princess of the Western Liao Kingdom.

"What are the instructions of the father?" Ji Yuexuan asked respectfully.

After that time, when Su Mo rescued Rong Yuancheng and Rong Yuanfeng from her, Ji Yuexuan was neglected by Ji Xu for several months. She showed her sharp eyebrows, was ambitious, and was also unique in dressing, trying to show her differences.

"I plan to ask you and Rong Yuancheng to renew your relationship, are you willing?" Ji Xu asked Ji Yuexuan.

Ji Yuexuan was stunned, and after a moment of reaction, she closed her eyes and covered her complex emotions, and said respectfully, "My son is obeying the holy wishes of his father."

The rumored gentleman who was gentle in nature but cold and distant in front of her appeared in his mind. Ji Yuexuan was in a complicated mood for a moment.

There was something Ji Xu just said nonsense, and Lu Zhe just guessed uninformedly, but the fact was that Rong Yuancheng's escape made Ji Yuexuan feel so angry that she felt so angry. After calming down, Rong Yuancheng's figure lingered in her mind...

During the period when Rong Yuancheng was a prisoner in Qitian City, he lived in Ji Yuexuan's princess's mansion. Under her guard, the two had a lot of contact.

Ji Yuexuan still remembers that when he first met Rong Yuancheng, he was in the dense forest at the border between the two countries. He was the prince of the Duke's Mansion of Dongming Zhenguo. He was cheated by Mu Zhenxuan that day and almost lost his life and became a prisoner. Later, when Rong Yuancheng talked a lot, he was almost deliberately lying to Ji Yuexuan to seek a chance to escape. At other times, he even had his eyes on Ji Yuexuan.

Ji Yuexuan once tried to please Rong Yuancheng because Ji Xu gave her an order to make Rong Yuancheng fall in love with her.

But this task failed completely. I didn't realize it at that time, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt unwilling to accept it.

Some people always do this. They want more if they can’t get it. The more difficult it is to conquer, the more they want to conquer.

From this perspective, Ji Yuexuan really followed Ji Xu.

Therefore, what Ji Xu said, Ji Yuexuan had deep feelings for Rong Yuancheng, which may be exaggerated, but it was almost the same. She wanted to see Rong Yuancheng again, and she wanted to conquer that man. When she heard Ji Xu's orders, her heart beat faster and she felt happy and anticipated.

Ji Xu was very satisfied. The first task he gave Ji Yuexuan was to take Mu Zhenxuan to the border, and in front of the two armies, Qiandao Lingchi!

"After this matter is done, tell the people of Dongming and ask Rong Lan to exchange Rong Yuancheng for Lu Zhe! Otherwise, I will remove Lu Zhe from eight pieces, cook and send it to her dining table!" Ji Xu snorted coldly.

Ji Yuexuan glanced at Lu Zhe and didn't think Rong Lan would give up her son for Mu Zhenxuan's nephew, but since Ji Xu made such arrangements, it means that this matter is feasible.

"Yes, Father!" Ji Yuexuan respectfully accepted the order.

Lu Zhe looked at Mu Zhenxuan being taken away by Ji Yuexuan, and his face remained unchanged. Mu Zhenxuan looked as if he was ashamed and did not struggle to resist.

But Lu Zhe did not think Mu Zhenxuan accepted his fate. This was actually an opportunity. Rong Lan would probably choose to stop Mu Zhenxuan from being Lingchi in public, rescued him first, and then deal with it separately, so as not to let Ji Xu succeed.

This is naturally an opportunity to survive for Mu Zhenxuan.

Lu Zhe is actually thinking about one thing. Ji Xu valued Ji Yuexuan so much. Is this ninth princess really so capable?

Ji Yuexuan took Mu Zhenxuan and secretly returned to the Ninth Princess' Mansion. According to Ji Xu's order, she will set out to the border tonight, execute Mu Zhenxuan in public, and shout to Rong Lan.

At this moment, Ji Yuexuan's mind was not on Mu Zhenxuan. She threw him into the dungeon and ignored him. She sat in the room where Rong Yuancheng used to live, playing with a rose jade pendant in her hand. The back of the jade pendant was engraved with a word "Cheng". Rong Yuancheng's clear face appeared in her mind again.

At first glance, this jade pendant looked very much like the one that Rong Lan gave to Rong Yuancheng, but it was not, but Ji Yuexuan carved it herself after Rong Yuancheng escaped.

"Last time, I lost to you. Next time, I will not lose again." Ji Yuexuan rubbed the word "sincere" on the jade pendant and murmured to herself.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yuexuan suddenly felt a tingling pain in her head. She frowned and rubbed her forehead. She thought it was nothing, but as a result, a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell to the ground!

The pain did not come rapidly, but spread to all limbs and bones bit by bit, making it more and more painful, as if countless hands were tearing her body, but her internal organs were slightly awake. She wanted to call someone, but she could only make a fragmented and weak sound.

The ink-colored skirt appeared in Ji Yuexuan's eyes. She raised her face with difficulty and saw a woman wearing a silver mask standing in front of her.

"Who are you?" Ji Yuexuan was frightened. She was deeply poisoned, and she didn't even know how the poison was! Who was it?

"I'm Rong Yuanqiu..." The woman paused for a moment, saw Ji Yuexuan's wide eyes, and slowly said the last three words, "Senior Sister."

Rong Yuanqiu’s senior sister? Ji Yuexuan only knew that Rong Yuanqiu was a miracle doctor and knew that her master was Liu Zhong, the most powerful imperial physician in the Dongming Kingdom. However, she had never heard of Yuanqiu having a senior sister. She was obviously a master of poison skills!

"As for my name, you should not forget it. My real name is Ji Yuewu." The woman looked at Ji Yuexuan with a quiet tone.

Ji Yuexuan's mind was like thunder exploded! Of course she would not forget this name! The crazy woman in the cold palace had a young and beautiful daughter, who was her half-sister. Ji Yuexuan was jealous and disgusted with the beauty of that sister, and did not want her to become her own threat and obstacle one day. Anyway, no one cared about that girl in the cold palace, so Ji Yuexuan designed to ruin the girl's face. Unexpectedly, she suddenly disappeared later. Some said she was dead, and some said she ran away.

Ji Yuexuan didn't care because she felt that even if Ji Yuewu, who was disfigured and had lost her identity, would soon die outside even if she ran out of the palace alive. She said she was a princess and would only be regarded as a lunatic.

Ji Yuexuan never expected that after so many years, Ji Yuewu would come back! And she defected to Dongming Kingdom and became Rong Yuanqiu's senior sister!

"Remember it?" You Wu's voice was faint, "I have always believed that it is fair to be toothless. I didn't provoke you back then, but you viciously destroyed my appearance and almost killed me. My sister is so 'caring', I always have to 'repay' well. I'm not talented, I learned how to make a human skin mask with my master. Recently, there are some things that need to borrow your identity. Disguise is OK, but it's a little troublesome."

You Wu said, taking out a sharp knife with cold light, "Don't move around, I only expose you and don't want to cut your flesh."

Ji Yuexuan heard You Wu's faint words and felt creepy, struggling and trembling to crawl out.

Unexpectedly, the way was blocked by a pair of men's cloud pattern boots.
