I'm back

Shanxidu County is located in a plain area, but to the south, there is a natural barrier, the Canaan Pass.

There are two major passes in Dayan, Yiyang Pass and Canaan Pass.Yiyang Pass is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the spring breeze is not too strong. To be precise, Yiyang Pass is surrounded by high mountains. If the enemy wants to pass through the high mountains, he must take narrow and steep paths.

Even if an army of millions wants to pass through this place, it must be split into individual teams. The soldiers guarding Yiyang Pass set up an ambush from a high place, and they only need to drop big rocks from the top to avoid it. It is to jump down the abyss, do not avoid it, and be stoned to death directly.

However, Canaan Pass is located in the warm and humid south, but it has become a throat blocking the other two countries, and it is also an important place for Dayan to station troops because of its miasma.

To use two words to compare, Yiyang Pass is convex, and Canaan Pass is the middle part of concave.Both sides of it are plains, one side is Dayan, and the other side is Qi State. Between the two countries, there is a large canyon that cannot be crossed. If you want to pass through the canyon, you must descend to Yiyang Pass and then pass through the dense forest. .

It's not that no one has thought of throwing rocks from a high place, or throwing down torches, and directly burned the border guards in this canyon.

However, the Canaan Pass in the canyon is not as dry as Yiyang Pass. You can easily see the wind and sand all over the sky, and the wolf smoke rises straight up. Instead, it inherits the usual humid and humid areas in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is a canyon, it is permeated with water all year round. fog.There are forests and water, and miasma covers people's eyes.

The reason why Canaan Pass can become a throat is mainly because it is surrounded by miasma. No matter how hot the torch is thrown down, it will be extinguished before it burns.

Moreover, the Canaan Pass was covered by the miasma, and it was difficult for the people above to see the people in the dense forest clearly. Throwing a stone and being buffered by the trees would not kill people at all, and it was just a waste of effort.

In addition to miasma, there are many poisonous snakes and centipedes in the forest, and the money snake is also very common.

But the Canaan Pass is said to be the natural barrier of the Great Yan, because it is under the control of the Guitian family, and the imperial court established the Duwei Administration here.

Yan Qin pondered for a moment: "Uncle Wang, do you mean that something went wrong at the Canaan Pass, or did someone deliberately plant the blame on those people at the Canaan Pass?"

Yan Yuge said: "No matter what kind it is, it has something to do with Canaan Pass. Your Majesty can put more thought on it."

He paused for a few seconds, and then continued: "This is the same as that Liu Zhongda, no matter whether he is the one who set up the trap or not, he has successfully attracted His Majesty's attention, right?"

Yan Qin said: "But Liu Xinda has already attracted Gu's attention by taking down the first prey of Autumn Hunting, so why should he do anything extra."

If it were him, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Yan Yuge said meaningfully: "Taking the first prey can only make His Majesty remember him for a while. After the autumn hunting, His Majesty may forget about him, but if he does these things, His Majesty can care about him till now." , and even arranged for someone to watch by his side."

When he tried every means to pursue the little emperor, didn't he use various means to attract the attention of the other party.When Liu Xinda successfully shot today's first prey, he immediately sent someone to investigate the details of this person.

He read slowly: "Liu Xinda, from Quzhou, is twenty-eight years old. There is a seventy-year-old mother in the family. She is not yet married, and she is also a fiancée who is married."

Yan Qin looked at the Prince Regent: "What are you doing inquiring about?" Inquiring about their marriage, it is possible that the Prince Regent wants to change his career to become a matchmaker.

"It's just to understand his basic situation." If you want to investigate a person and find out his thoughts, you must not only know the person's personal situation.

The honest and honest person in the population may also commit murder and steal things for the old mother at home, while the villain who is hated by everyone may be a gentle and amiable husband, a good father who loves his daughter, or even an amazing person. The big filial son.

Some people may be tough, but when someone threatens his wife, children, and mother, he can only succumb.

To figure out a person's way of thinking, Yan Yuge used to start with the other person's growth environment, and even what happened when they were young.

Although he knew that the regent was extremely good at trying to figure out people's hearts, Yan Qin still felt a little uncomfortable when he acted so straightforwardly in front of him.What was he thinking, he simply asked directly: "Does Uncle Wang always ponder Gu's thoughts in this way?"

Yan Yuge looked straight into the little emperor's eyes and asked him, "Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth, or lies?"

"Of course it's true."

"The truth is no."

Without even thinking about it, Yan Qin denied the so-called truth of the Prince Regent: "I don't believe it."

Yan Yuge spread his hands: "Since your Majesty has made a judgment in his heart, what should I do? But I still want to say that what I just said is indeed the truth."

Yan Qin retorted: "Liu Xinda is just an ordinary person who has never met you. You have to investigate him thoroughly. The three generations of his ancestors will be stripped for you. When it's your turn to be lonely, you can replace him with no understanding. You How to make Gu believe that you are telling the truth."

Yan Yuge's demeanor was still very calm, and he said confidently: "But what your majesty said is on weekdays, not from the beginning to the present, I have indeed tried to figure out what your majesty is thinking, but after being with your majesty, I don't do that anymore. .”

The regent's answer can be said to be very cunning: "Next time Uncle Wang talks to Gu like this again, Gu will be unhappy."

Once or twice, it can be regarded as fun. Now that he is so serious, Yan Qin doesn't like the regent's indecency at all.

"But what I said is indeed the truth. Isn't Your Majesty curious why I don't try to figure out His Majesty's mind?"

Yan Qin remained skeptical of the regent's words, but he still followed the regent's words very cooperatively and said, "Tell me, why did you change your mind?"

"Of course it's because I like His Majesty."

Facing this sudden love words, Yan Qin did not show any blushing expression, he only asked: "What kind of statement is this?"

He would like to hear how "sophistry" the regent is.

Yan Yuge only looked at the little emperor, but smiled and said nothing.

At the very beginning, he pondered Yan Qin's thoughts because Yan Qin was the emperor, he knew his opponents, or people who had influence on him, and he habitually framed the other's behavior and thinking in his heart through the other's bits and pieces. model.

But later, he discovered that the little emperor could always do things beyond his expectations, and say things that he thought the little emperor couldn't say at all.

Later, by chance, because of all kinds of accidents, or in other words, it was fate destined by heaven, he fell in love with the little emperor.

At that stage, he became more fond of pondering the little emperor's thoughts, it was to win the joy of Yan Qin.He doesn't try to figure out what the little emperor is thinking now, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about Yan Qin, but because the two of them have a tacit understanding enough that there is no need to figure it out, sometimes the emperor can tell what the other party wants to express with just one look or one movement What is it.

Moreover, trying to figure out people's hearts is a matter that requires effort. He doesn't have that much thought to see the whole body of a person when he meets someone. He wants to analyze a person thoroughly. It must be because the other person has enough high The value is worth it for him to do so.

It's not that the little emperor has no value, on the contrary, the value of the little emperor is too high for him, and it's worth his whole life to explore.

When Yan Qin finally got a little impatient with him, the regent said: "To me, Your Majesty is the most precious treasure in the world. I dare not think about it, for fear that my thoughts will go wrong and something bad will happen.”

"What kind of nonsense is this? No matter how you think about your lonely mind, it becomes a bad thing." A monarch doesn't like the people below to figure out his own thoughts.In other words, no one likes the feeling of being seen through, but Yan Qin himself knows that the people who serve him are always thinking about the joy and anger of his monarch in his heart.

For example, Chang Xiao, the reason why he can be reused by himself is that apart from his loyalty and growing up with him since childhood, the more important reason is that he knows his emotions too well.The other party understands his mood changes, so he knows when to say what should be said, when to shut his mouth tightly, and never say a word more than what should not be said.

The regent is his queen in name and in reality. Husband and wife should understand each other. Only by trying to understand each other's thoughts can they think better. He feels that he really doesn't understand the regent. king.

Is this the world of smart people, he doesn't know?

Yes, Yan Qin felt that he was not stupid at all, but he also admitted that the regent's intelligence was far higher than him, and the barrier between them could not be broken through hard work.

To use a simple analogy, the heart of an honest person is like a wooden spoon for serving food. It is solid and has no heart.His heart is a bit like a spoon that can be hung up, with a hole pierced in the back, and he has one more heart than others.As for the regent, he is a colander, with so many minds that he can't count them.

He felt very tired getting along with this kind of person, because he had to figure out the other person's mind all the time.Although he was more thoughtful, it was still difficult to guess what the regent was thinking.

Yan Qin didn't say anything, but what he wanted to say in his heart was written on his face, and he showed it clearly to the regent.

Yan Yuge looked at the little emperor's face, and said, "Does your majesty feel tired when you get along with me?"

Yan Qin's eyes were full of accusations: "You also said that you didn't figure out Gu's thoughts, so how would you know what Gu was thinking?"

"That's what His Majesty showed on his face. Show me, these things don't need to be pondered." Yan Yuge made a metaphor, "For example, I'm thinking in my heart now, I like Your Majesty, and then I tell Your Majesty , I am pleased with you, you know my thoughts at this time, but this is not something you figured out, but I told you."

"I'm so dizzy from being surrounded by you alone." Yan Qin felt that he didn't understand what the regent was saying, so he listened to you one after another.It had been a long time since the marriage, and he knew that the regent liked him.

If the regent didn't like him, what kind of marriage would it be?

When the little emperor thought this way, the corners of his lips turned up slightly unconsciously, and his expression looked cute, but Yan Qin didn't know it.

Seeing the little emperor's appearance, the regent stretched out his hand, rubbed Yan Qin's hair, and quickly retracted his hand: "If your Majesty finds it difficult to understand, you don't need to understand it so clearly. You just need to know a little, no matter what it is. I can be trusted any time. As long as you want to know, just ask me directly, I am completely transparent in front of His Majesty."

It was the regent who said that you can ask directly, and Yan Qin is not as hypocritical as he is, so he said directly: "I know that Uncle Wang is happy, especially the kind of happy, so I won't ask about this aspect. It's still the same as before. Uncle Wang investigated this Liu Xinda, and if he has any other ideas, don’t tell me, he just learned about his personality and how many people there are in his family.”

Yan Qin himself didn't bother to investigate Liu Xinda, mainly because the regent did, so he didn't bother to waste this time.

It is true that the regent may lie to him, but if he arranges to investigate Liu Xinda's people, it is impossible to lie to him.All in all, he basically believes in the regent's words now.It is strange to say that he has been betrayed so many times, but he still has trust in the people around him, and he has not lost hope in the whole world because of this.

Of course, he didn't just believe it randomly. After experiencing betrayal, he was more vigilant and wary of people than ordinary people, but for the people he really believed in, such as the regent, such as Chang Xiao, he could give nothing. Unreserved trust.

"Of course it's not just that. I learned something very interesting from his colleagues."

Yan Qin questioned: "Uncle Wang, don't be a fool. If you learn something, tell me quickly."

He was already worried about this meeting, and the regent was still playing tricks, if it wasn't for the fact that Yan Yuge was the regent, he really wanted to beat him up.

"Liu Xinda, whom His Majesty saw today, is articulate, honest and honest, but in the mouth of his colleagues, he is a rascal-like character, not likable at all. Although he has a mother in his hometown, Liu Xinda Regardless of the widowed mother, she joined the army as a soldier purely by brute force, and not long ago, because of bad luck, she made a small contribution and became a school lieutenant."

Liu Xinda, the captain, has nothing to do with the eighth captain. He is just a false name, similar to a small captain, and he is in charge of a team of less than ten people. Calling him a captain is a good way to say it.

Yan Qin frowned: "Could it be that colleague was jealous and intentionally discredited Liu Xinda?"

Faced with the little emperor's doubts, Yan Yuge only said: "Your Majesty thinks that I am so stupid to listen to others and only take one person's?"

He checks a person, never just one, let alone one, two, three, or even five or six people may unite to fool people.

But there are too many people, and if they want to string together confessions, it is inevitable that some clues will leak out.Because of the rush of time, he didn't have time to ask all of them when he checked this person, but this time, even if he only asked these few questions, it was enough.

"This is just the first theory. There is another theory. Liu Xinda joined the army by virtue of his natural supernatural power. He is very filial. When his mother was sick, he wanted to make a fortune. He worked hard for his mother. Outstanding performance in today's fall hunt."

In the eyes of the emperor, he must only see someone special enough.In the autumn hunting field, there are not only two types of people who can attract the little emperor's attention, one is the one who takes the first prey, and the other is the one who takes the most prey and has the highest overall score.

The one who took down the second most prey was very honorable to say the least, but it would not be noticed by the little emperor at all.But the first is not so easy to get.

The regent was originally extremely talented, and no matter how many people around him, no one would dare to snatch his prey.

Yan Qin's side was even worse. Although Yan Qin's arrow skills were good, his riding skills were only average. Every time he went out, he was followed by a group of mighty people.In this situation, it is easy to scare away some small prey, but it is also more convenient for Yan Qin to hunt large beasts.

I really encountered a large beast that could not be handled by one person. Hula, a stickman rushed up, made the beast half dead, and then the little emperor pulled out an arrow and shot it. The only prey was the arrow feather with the emperor's mark, that was the little emperor's arrow feather. .

Judging from this situation, it was too difficult for Liu Xinda to surpass the little emperor and He. In order to show his face in front of the little emperor, he tried his best to take down the first prey.In order not to let the little emperor feel that his ability is not worthy of the name, he continued to hunt very hard, but he never thought that a cold arrow fell from the sky, which was still poisonous, directly passed through his waist and abdomen, and made him suffer from the little emperor. Suspect.

No matter how you look at it, this is a loss-making business.And it's still the kind that pays big.

Yan Qin struggled for a while, and understood the meaning of the regent: "Uncle Wang means that what they said about Liu Xinda is completely opposite. They are sure that what they say is true, and what they say is particularly false."

Let him summarize the two current statements: "The first one, Liu Xinda, is a gangster, relying on luck, it's outrageous. The second one, Liu Xinda, an honest man, fight it out, you're unlucky."

Yan Yuge shook his head: "Your Majesty, things in this world are not black and white. It is also possible that what they are telling is the truth, and the side you think is telling lies may also be mixed with different things. Little truth.

The regent walked around, and when he heard Yan Qin's eyes turn into mosquito coils, he felt dizzy again. He calmed down and made a short and concise summary: "You mean, what these people say is unreliable. , You have to find out what you have investigated by yourself.”

What does the regent say so much nonsense, it's not wasting his time.Sure enough, talking to the Prince Regent is too tiring. If you can say ten words, it’s good if one sentence is useful. This sentence can only be understood by you pondering his mind and savoring it carefully.

His idea is very simple, isn't it the kind that wants to find out what happened, less routine and more sincere.This is too troublesome for the regent, if everything depends on the regent, he will definitely die in a hurry.

"I mean, doesn't Your Majesty find this situation a bit familiar?"

"Where does it look familiar?" The staff around him didn't change frequently, and he hadn't had much contact with a low-level captain like Liu Xinda before.

The people who were affected by the disaster in Shanxidu County were the ordinary people he knew the most deeply, but he knew them only through the texts sent to him from the front line by Dugu Liu.

He really didn't remember where he had seen an operation similar to stealing dragons and turning phoenixes.

Yan Yuge reminded the little emperor again: "Xiao Yuan, the sixth princess of Qi."

One was a spy from the enemy country, who became his guest of Dayan and a good prime minister for decades.

The other one, obviously everyone has been locked up, the envoy can still find a woman with an unknown identity as a substitute.

Although the replacement was unsuccessful in the end, it should have left an extremely deep impression on the little emperor.

Well, going around, I still set the suspects on the heads of Qi and Jin. The regent has been going around for so long, and he said a lot of nonsense. Yan Qin felt that this was completely Waste his precious time.

Of course Yan Yuge wasn't talking around, every word he said was useful.Besides, he likes to think too much. If these things are put in his mind, they can be completed in an instant, but when he said them, he also communicated with the little emperor. some time.

But the little emperor doesn't seem to be used to his rhythm, that's all, it still takes a long time to adjust, so he takes his time and is not in a hurry.

"It's getting dark now, and it's time to go to bed, but Uncle Wang and Gu said so much, so Gu still doesn't know what to do now."

"It's only night, and the night is still long. If Your Majesty is afraid, I will be by His Majesty's side."

Although my heart has not calmed down until now, the regent's words are a bit unpleasant to hear.

Yan Qin was not happy: "Who is scared." He was just cautious, thinking a little more than others, okay?

The regent said kindly: "I'm scared, very scared, can Your Majesty take pity on me and accompany me through this difficult and dangerous night?"

Only then did Yan Qin say: "You are too cowardly, for the sake of you working for the orphan, you are allowed to be alone."
