Chapter 288 Nangong Ze exchanges his life for his
Nangong Zhen is worthy of being the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Army. The methods he uses really touch people's hearts!
He's right.
In this situation, even if Nangong Xiyun was brought to the government, she couldn't sentence her to death! With the power of the Nangong family, how many people dared to ignore it?
If she really went to jail, Nangong Xiyun's situation would become uncertain.
At this time, Nan Qi came over and whispered, "Marshal Nangong is right. Even if he is ruthless, there is no shortage of people in the Nangong family who dote on Nangong Xiyun. When the time comes, they can just do something and Nangong Xiyun will still be free! You can't just stay in Nangong Xiyun's cell every day to watch her, right?"
"Comparatively speaking, Nangong Ze's suggestion is more beneficial to you. Otherwise, why not quit while you're ahead?!"
Shu He glared at him.
Which side is he on?
Nan Qi saw that she looked unhappy and asked anxiously, "Do you really want to kill her in front of the Zhenxi Army?"
"If Yi'er hadn't shown up, it would have been understandable for you to kill her, but now that Nangong Ze has brought Yi'er back safely, it's unacceptable for you to kill her again!"
Shu He lowered her eyes slightly, struggling internally. Finally, she turned her gaze to Baili Moqing, wanting to gauge his attitude.
Baili Moqing only looked at her for a moment before looking away, his eyes fixed on Yi'er in her arms.
"You are Yi'er's mother. It's up to you to decide what to do. However, if Nangong Xiyun is really imprisoned, I can guarantee that no one will be able to let her escape punishment!"
If the Nangong family wants to do something, they have to ask him if he agrees!
Finally, Shu He looked at Yier. Yier's eyes were sparkling with a hint of natural ignorance.
She didn't know what the situation was, but in this situation, she subconsciously hid in Shu He's arms and didn't say anything.
A trace of pain flashed across Shu He's eyes. At this moment, she hated her own incompetence immensely! If she had the ability to face a vast army, wouldn't she have to be held hostage, both openly and covertly?
"Nangong Xiyun, you should be thankful that you have a good brother, otherwise, you would definitely die today!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Nangong Ze and Nangong Zhen again, "Marshal, General, this is my last tolerance! If I see Nangong Xiyun appear in front of me again, what you will see will definitely be a corpse. There is no other possibility!"
Nangong Zhen's face looked grim, and he clenched his fists behind his back again and again, but finally relaxed.
What can he do? Who made him give birth to such an unworthy daughter...
Shu He was about to turn around and leave when Baili Moqing's voice rang out again.
"Nangongze, this is what you wished for, but it can't end like this!"
"Her choice was not her own will, but was forced by you!"
"This king wants you to swear an oath. If she ever needs you, Nangong Ze, you must unconditionally promise her one thing, even at the cost of your life!"
Nangong Xin was furious when he heard this. The prince was going to use his eldest brother's life in exchange for Ayun's! How could this be possible?
"Brother!!" I can't agree to this!
Nangong Zhen also looked worried, thinking that Baili Moqing's request was a bit excessive.
The people of his Nangong family would go through fire and water for him, even death, but how could others be worthy of it?!
Nangong Ze glanced at Nangong Xiyun, then at Shu He.
Finally, he solemnly swore an oath in front of Baili Moqing.
"I, Nangong Ze, swear that I owe Miss Shu He my life. If she needs me one day, Nangong Ze will repay her kindness with my own life!"
Shu He glanced at him sideways and then left.
Although she disdained to take Nangong Ze's life, Baili Moqing's action did make her feel much more comforted.
At least, he was not entirely on the Nangong family's side.
After Shu He and the others left, the Nangong family members all breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
Nangong Xiyun collapsed to the ground, blood still dripping from her left hand, but the pain in her wrist was far less than the pain in her heart.
"Are you still my biological father and brother?"
"Imprisoning me in Hengshan for my entire life is crueler than killing me! Why not let her kill me? Why?!"
"If you were going to die, why did you ask dad for help just now?!" Nangong Ze's face was gloomy. He felt that the most shameless thing he had ever done in his life was to plead for her today.
But she hasn't shown any remorse till now!
"As the daughter of a marshal, you actually did something as despicable as kidnapping and trafficking children!"
"Do you know that if this gets out, the reputation Dad has built up over decades of military exploits will be completely destroyed in one day? Do you even take the Nangong family seriously?"
A hint of guilt flashed across Nangong Xiyun's eyes, but she remained unwilling to admit her mistake.
“I did nothing wrong!”
"That woman brought that child close to my cousin with ulterior motives!"
"She wants to be Princess Li by using a bastard as my cousin's own flesh and blood! I won't let her succeed. She's just dreaming!"
"You're dreaming!" Nangong Zhen shouted angrily, his eyes filled with utter despair and heartache. "Nangong Xiyun, I'm so disappointed in you!"
"Dad! I am your daughter, why do you always side with outsiders?"
Nangong Xiyun cried and shouted.
"She poisoned me and made me speechless. You could have restored me to my former self with just a few words, but you turned a blind eye and cruelly left me to live in speechless pain."
"Do you really consider me your own daughter?"
"Or maybe you've been a soldier for too long and have become hard-hearted and devoid of empathy!"
Everyone's accusations, this failure, and the future life of imprisonment made Nangong Xiyun completely lose her mind and speak without restraint.
"Nangong Xiyun, how dare you!" Nangong Ze said coldly, his whole body emitting anger and indifference.
My father has been a general and marshal all his life. He is famous and renowned. No one has ever dared to speak to him like this!
Now, he is being scolded by his own daughter. How sad and heartbreaking is this?
He would not allow his father to be treated like this, even by his own sister!
"Somebody come!"
Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba came in immediately.
Nangong Ze stared at the two of them for a long while before saying, "Send Nangong Xiyun to Hengshan tonight and send the Zhenxi Yuanfeng Army to escort and guard her. No one is allowed to let her go!"
"Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be punished by military law!"
Zheng Qi and Zheng Ba's faces turned pale. They knew that the major general was furious. If they dared to help the young lady privately again, they would probably be punished by military law!
"Nangong Ze! You bastard!!"
Nangong Xiyun screamed in despair, completely forgetting that he had just used his own life in exchange for her chance to survive.
Nangong Ze was scolded and his expression changed again and again. In the end, he just supported Nangong Zhen, who looked very bad, and left here.
Nangong Xin stood there, his face filled with both heartache and resentment.
"Ayun, after all these years, it's time for you to see the reality! No matter who Brother Mo Qing marries, that person will not be yours!!"
"Shut up! That's impossible! We made a promise when we were little that he would marry me when he grew up!"
"I hate you! I hate you!!"
Nangong Xiyun was like a madman at this time, scolding whoever she caught, and she was in a state of not recognizing anyone as her own.
Nangong Xin watched her being taken away by the Yuanfeng Army and saw her struggle in vain, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.
The four siblings of the Nangong family once lived in such harmony, but now, one is in solitary confinement, and another is imprisoned on Mount Hengshan. If the news gets back to Kyoto, I'm afraid their mother won't let it go. By then, the Nangong family might have to endure another major earthquake!
Why does it become like this?
This was the first time that Nangong Xin felt so tired and helpless. It was a feeling of powerlessness that made him unable to muster any energy and he felt extremely depressed.
Outside the tent, the night had deepened. A large, bright moon hung low in the western sky, like a fading, white-haired old man, emitting a desolate, twilight atmosphere...
