After I was reborn, I was scumbag

Chapter 55

Shao Guan's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he struggled desperately like a fish in boiling water, but his little resistance was like a fly shaking a tree, and he only got more and more humiliation.

"His Royal Highness forced the minister."

Murong Xing bent down, hugged the boy who was kneeling on the ground from behind and locked him in his arms, so intimate that it seemed like a lover's gesture, but one looked cold and the other was full of despair.

His slender fingers pinched open Shao Guan's teeth, and stuffed another pitch-black pill into the boy's mouth.

The foreign body in his mouth made the boy retch instinctively, but the other party's fingers pinched his neck mercilessly, forcing him to swallow the pill.

Along with the poison into the throat, there is also a mouth full of blood.

Like a raging fire, it burned down his throat and into his stomach. Shao Guan let out a few low gasps of grief and pain from his throat. The raging fire quickly burned his dark eyes bright.

Shensi was shattered in an instant, and the only thought that crossed his mind was: after all, he overestimated himself.

It's not that he has nothing to lose, what Murong Xing can take away from him is dignity.

A bit of hot liquid dripped onto the back of Murong Xing's hand, almost burning him, and immediately a faint smell of blood wafted through the hall.

The cold phoenix eyes dimmed in an instant, Murong Xing turned away from Shao Guan's face, the eyes of the young man who was close at hand were tightly closed, his lips were tightly pursed, still unable to stop the blood from his mouth gushing out like a spring.

He obviously bit the tip of his tongue, trying to use the pain to force himself to wake up.

"...Your Highness is like this, the only one who is sad is myself."

Murong Xing's thin lips covered Shao Guan's.

Shao Guan's fine eyelashes trembled a few times.

It's just that the kiss and embrace suddenly let go when he wanted it the most.

The pitch-black peach blossom eyes were covered with a thin layer of water vapor, looking innocent and lovable, the mist in his eyes covered up the humiliation and struggle in his eyes.

He could no longer tell who the person in front of him was, and maybe he could, but his reason was eroded by the poison, and his dignity naturally became worthless.

He looked uneasily at the young man with gloomy phoenix eyes in front of him, as if he didn't understand why there would be tears on the cheeks of such a condescending person.

It's just that this bit of doubt and all emotions disappeared in the next.

He didn't realize that someone had cut a small gash on the side of his neck with a dagger, and the palm that was also injured was gently pressed against the bloody gash on the side of his neck.

The densely packed tiny Gu worms followed the junction of the wounds of the two and entered the other person's body...

An hour later.

Murong Xing tidied up his clothes, took a handkerchief soaked in clean water, and wiped the blood on Shao Guan's face and the dirt on his body little by little.

The phoenix eyes were so calm that it didn't seem like they had just experienced a scene at all, but the knuckles of the hand holding the handkerchief were turning white, and the blue blood vessels were even faintly entwined with a few traces of black air.

After cleaning up, he took off his outer robe, covered the boy who was curled up on the table, and turned back out of the palace gate.

"Get some clean robes from the carriage."

Xia Tong responded: "Your Majesty, the antidote...is it still effective for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

It should be effective.

Murong Xing glanced down at his palm, expressionless: "If you have something to say, we'll talk about it when we go back to the house, hurry up and get the clothes."

"Yes."

It wasn't until nightfall that the guards guarding Prince Jing's Mansion nodded and bowed to send Murong Xing out.

Murong Xing took a few steps into the carriage and glanced at the guard indifferently.

"In a few days, this son may come to interrogate the deposed prince. Remember to feed him with good food and drink. Don't pass out before being hit a few times."

The guard nodded again and again: "Don't worry, my son, don't worry, my son, I will definitely do my job well."

When the carriage drove away from the streets of King Jing's Mansion, Xia Tong asked in a low voice: "My lord, are we going out of the city to see Yuan Qiong now?"

"What about the things I asked you to prepare?"

Xia Tong took out a city defense map with new ink characters from his sleeve, hesitantly: "My lord, can this... this forged city defense map really deceive Yuan Qiong?"

"Who told you that this was a forgery?" Murong Xing's deep phoenix eyes melted into the boundless night, and he sighed softly, "Not only His Royal Highness has seen the city defense map, but I have also seen it."

In the previous life, there were no secrets between them.Perhaps even Shao Guan didn't remember that he had shown him the deployment map of the Chang'an garrison.

When Xia Tong heard the words, a trace of emotion crossed his face: "...I just hope that everything is over, and His Royal Highness can understand the painstaking efforts of the son—"

The moment the carriage drove out of the city gate, Xia Tong's voice stopped abruptly.

Murong Xing followed his half-shocked, half-sorrowful eyes, and there was a black shadow hanging on the city wall several feet high.

The sky was dark and his vision was blurry, but it was enough for Murong Xing to see clearly that the corpse hanging on the city wall for public display was the former prisoner of the East Palace, Dong Jiu.

This lowly little eunuch in other people's mouths, said Shao Guan was innocent until his death, and his body was cold, but he was still here, blocking the people's spit and abuse.

Murong Xing turned his face sideways suddenly, cracks appeared in the ice covered in his phoenix eyes, which almost melted into hot tears.

"...No matter what method you use, put Dong Jiu's body down, take it to the outskirts, and find a good place to bury it."

The cold voice was deep and hoarse.

"Tell me, does His Royal Highness know about this?"

He must not know, if he knew, even if he gave him a thousand times stronger love Gu today, even if life was worse than death, he would not be willing to beg for mercy under him.

"My lord, it's not your fault..." At this point, even Xia Tong couldn't continue.

If it wasn't Murong Xing's fault, who could be blamed?Yuan Qiong?But the one who carried out all Yuan Qiong's plans with his own hands, and the one with blood on his hands, after all, was his family's heir.

"Whether it's my fault or not, I admit it. I owe these wronged souls, and I won't be reborn in the future. I just pay it back in the ground."

"Even the Sergeant Daliang who died in Lingnan, their blood debt should be counted on me."

Perhaps Murong Xing's tone was so cold and decisive that Xia Tong felt a trace of fear in his heart.

"My son... from ancient times to the present, there is no one who does not bleed blood? They watch from the sky, and they will always understand the son. His Royal Highness, a person who understands righteousness, will definitely forgive the son..."

He was answered with a soft sigh, Murong Xing closed his eyes, as if he was extremely tired: "This matter... don't need to be mentioned again."

"In just three days, Prince Murong obtained the defense plan from the abandoned prince. He really is a great talent that I rely on!"

Yuan Qiong took the defense map from Murong Xing, carefully read the markings on it, and said with a loud smile, "Your Excellency has worked hard. Originally, your Royal Highness has made such great achievements, so you should let your Royal Highness rest for a few days."

"It's just that I just received the news that the Lingnan Army's vanguard has crossed the mountains and arrived at the outskirts of Chang'an. I wonder if your son would like to go to the army with me to see?"

"I don't know how many people there are in the vanguard army?" Murong Xing got on his horse and watched Yuan Qiong put the defense map into his cuff.

"Thirty thousand people. Speaking of which, Yang Ling should also deploy the defenders of those cities and prepare to leave."

"Mr. Yang transferred all the defenders to the Lingnan border?"

In this way, the cities could have quickly come to support the defenders in Chang'an, but the distance from the capital was much farther away, and the support would have to be delayed for at least five days.

Five days of fighting between the two armies is enough to determine the victory.What's more, now that Emperor Liang has a headache, the prince has just been abolished, and the crown prince has not yet been appointed. The princes and princes from all over the country are entrusted with their own thoughts, and the hearts of the people are not in harmony, which adds to Yuan Qiong's chance of victory.

Murong Xing's eyes were filled with undercurrents, but his face was calm.

"Your Majesty's guess is right. We are now almost [-]% sure of defeating the Kingdom of Liang. As long as we carefully plan the siege strategy, we will surely be able to wipe out the shame and trample the royal family of the Kingdom of Liang underfoot."

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. The so-called half-ninety-ninety people who travel hundreds of miles, since everything is ready, it doesn't matter a few days longer to plan the siege plan. In my opinion, it's better to wait for Young Master Yang to come back, and then decide on the siege plan together." .”

Yuan Qiong nodded: "That's okay, it happens that the defense plan needs to be explained to me by the prince. The affairs in the army are always clearer to the prince. There is really no rush to attack the city."
