lonely king

More than ten years ago, when Da Jiang was still the lord of the world, the Three Kingdoms of Xizhao, Nanming, Beiyan were the most powerful of the three vassal states.Nanming Wang Gongsunzhi was known as a gentle and virtuous king, and he gained the trust of Jiang Huan, the great Jiang Jianguo. Although he could barely be listed as a powerful country, he was disliked by Xizhao Wang Yuejian.At that time, Xizhao was the most powerful country, and he looked down on Gongsun Zhi the most flattering people, and he didn't even like Jiang Huan.Xizhao frequently sent troops to harass the border, and with General Qingrui in charge, he was invincible.

Yue Jian and Qing Rui are best friends, one is the overlord, the other is the fierce general, the most invincible is the combination of strong and strong.Qingrui was the same as Yuejian, and looked down on Gongsun Zhi and Jiang Huan the most, but after meeting Jiang Huan at the border, Qingrui changed his opinion.

Although Jiang Huan credulously believed in Gongsun Zhi and supported his youngest son to become king, he was not a man without talent or bravery, and Jiang Huan's Yuhan golden sword fought all over the world.Qingrui and Jiang Huan fought for the first time, and they fought all day and night, but they couldn't tell the winner.Back then, Qingrui was arrogant, while Jiang Huan was even more heroic and invincible. They won't lose in one battle, and they agreed to hundreds of battles.And because it was a private engagement, Jiang Huan and Qing Rui did not embarrass each other, but let each other go back to the country.

As the saying goes, although one mountain cannot contain two tigers, Jiang Huan and Qing Rui are not narrow-minded people. Apart from competing for strength, there will also be a feeling of sympathy between the strong.After hundreds of battles, the two who still haven't decided the winner have become close friends.Qingrui supported the overlord Yue Jian, and Jiang Huan also supported the young monarch Jiang Nian. At that time, Qingrui never understood why Jiang Huan wanted to support a young man instead of being king himself.

Jiang Huan only said: "there is only one master in the world, and it must be the orthodox Jiang, and no one else is allowed."

Jiang Huan has always followed the orthodox etiquette and never violated the etiquette and morality. Jiang has ruled for a hundred years, and his heart is like a century-old etiquette, and he never thought of breaking through the shackles of the orthodox etiquette.The world is the world of ginger, and the ginger is the ginger of the Jiang royal family, and Jiang Nian is the orthodox.

Qing Rui didn't understand Jiang Huan's meaning, in fact, Jiang Nian didn't understand his persistence even now.

Qingrui shook her head and said, "I don't care what is orthodox in the world, I only support wise and powerful monarchs."

At that time, Da Jiang and Xi Zhao would inevitably have a battle, and here, Qing Rui and Jiang Huan both understood that although confidants are confidants, appreciation is also mutual appreciation, but they have different ideas of being ministers, and they will eventually meet on the battlefield.

That was the last battle where the Qing family was destroyed and Xizhao was defeated.

In the one hundred and first battle, Qing Rui and Jiang Huan met at the bank of Taoyang City, which was the battlefield of the first battle.That was the peak of Xizhao's national power, and Yue Jian already had the idea of ​​destroying Jiang and replacing it.With the trust and support of Yue Jian, Qingrui and Jiang Huan fought on the banks of Taoyang City. Millions of lions from the two countries fought at the border. Qingrui and Jiang Huan fought for seven days and nights, and Qingrui was finally defeated by Jiang Huan.

The two supreme generals finally decided the winner, and the Qing family army led by Qing Rui was also defeated. Most of the Qing family were killed and wounded, and Xi Zhao was hit hard.Jiang Huan should have killed Qingrui, but because of the personal relationship between the two, he let Qingrui go back to Xizhao.Both generals were brave and open-minded people in battle. Even if they were defeated and the Qing family was ruined, Qing Rui and Jiang Huan were still close friends who talked happily.

War is war, country is country, friend is friend.

Qingrui went back to Xizhao to plead guilty. He had tried his best, but he had no choice but to lose Jiang Huan by one point.However, Yue Jian did not think that his desire to replace Jiang with Da Jiang was shattered, Xizhao was wounded, his national power was not as good as that of Nanming, and it was no longer possible to become the lord of the world. He was even more angry at him when he was defeated, saying that he was merciful because his opponent was Jiang Huan, which led to the defeat of Xizhao's army.

What kind of temperament is Qingrui? His friendship with Jiang Huan is that of a gentleman.But because Jiang Huan spared Qing Rui's life, Yue Jian became suspicious of him in every possible way. Death and Taoyang City.

Yue Jian's original intention was to kill Qingrui, but in the end he couldn't do it. After all, he has been a monarch and minister for many years, and it's not just the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.When Qingrui left Xizhao, Yue Jian asked him to make a promise, asking him to promise that he would never be born again, would not interfere in the affairs of the world, would never see Jiang Huan again, and would never see Yue Jian again, regardless of the world , he no longer comes out.

Qingrui agreed one by one, and from then on she disappeared from the world, never to be born again, lived in seclusion in Taoyang City, and became the master of Qingque Hall.

He knows the affairs of the world but does not interfere with the affairs of the world. This is his promise with Yue Jian, and it is also the discipline of Qingquetang not to get involved in the affairs of the world.

Qingrui practiced his words and was never born. After the news of his death spread throughout the world, he wrote a letter to Jiang Huan, not only thanking him for not killing him, but also stating that he would not be born again.Even after the Three Kingdoms besieged Dajiang, Jiang Huan died in the fire of Yeling, and even Yuejian was designed by Gongsun Zhi to plunder Nanming as a hostage, he did not come out.

Qing Rui is the only person who is so stubborn.

It's just that many years have passed now, and Qing Rui, who promised never to be born, suddenly appeared, interfering in the affairs of the world. I don't know if he can't let go of Yue Jian after all, or has other intentions.

The humidity in the cellar is extremely cold, even in spring, the humidity in the cellar cannot be driven away, Baili Nian slowly raised his head, looking at the green rutabaga tied here by him.This former all-powerful figure has aged a lot, and has long since lost the arrogance of the past, but his eyes still reveal the stubbornness of his youth.

Baili Nian looked at him and said softly, "You shouldn't have been born."

Qing Rui looked at Baili Nian coldly, he had never hated a person so much before, "I promised half my life that I would not disturb the world, but you have appeared, even if it is against the promise of that day and Yue Jian, I will let you die!"

"For Yue Jian?" Baili Nian looked at Qingrui. Before, he felt that Qingrui wanted to kill him to avenge Yue Jian's death, but now he felt that this reason was a bit untenable. He was never born, but now he came out at this time, and it was not necessarily only for the old master.

Qing Rui is not a person who is good at scheming, as long as it does not involve hurting Xi Zhao, he has always been outspoken. Since he fell into Baili Nian's hands, he didn't want to get out alive. He stared at Baili Nian firmly and did not hide it.

"Not only for Yue Jian, but also for brother Jiang Huan, brother Jiang Huan was wise and courageous throughout his life, and the last thing he should do is to support you kid!"

Qing Rui and Jiang Huan are close friends, they have the same attitude in many things, they are only supporting the king, but they run in opposite directions.Qing Rui believes in being a king who has the ability to rule the world, but Jiang Huan firmly believes that the orthodox Jiang family will be the king. He believes that Jiang Nian will definitely become the virtuous leader of the world.

But the playful Baili Nian at that time failed to understand what he meant, and was even betrayed by the princes of the world.

Qingrui stared, "I knew you were not a wise monarch. You not only poisoned and killed Yuejun, but also used tricks to destroy Nanming, kill Gongsun Zhi, and seize the land of Beiyan! Now Qiangzhu is here again, trying to Utilize King Qiangzhu to destroy Xizhao, do you think I don’t know your tricks? Jiang Nian! One life pays for one life, you kill my king, you should also know that I will avenge my lord!"

But Baili Nian slowly raised his eyes, and a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes, "That one life for one life, Uncle Wang was killed by Yue Jian, do you know?"

"More and more..."

Qingrui froze on the spot, he asked people from Qingquetang to investigate Jiang Huan eight years ago, only to find out that Jiang Huan was buried in the fire of Yeling Palace, he didn't know who killed him, he didn't even know Baili Nian escaped from the fire.At that time, Qingquetang was established not long ago, and some news could not be found.

Baili Nian's eyes were slightly cold, even though the expression on the face still remained unchanged, the bottom of the eyes was much colder.

Baili Nian: "Eight years ago, the Three Kingdoms besieged Yeling. Uncle Wang was deceived by Gongsun Zhi. The entire army of the Great Jiang was wiped out. Uncle Wang ran back to Yeling desperately and wanted to take me away. The fire in the palace of Yeling was really big. But they couldn't stop the powerful Shuo Wang Jianghuan. But when Uncle Wang and I were about to escape from the hall, King Yue Kan of Xizhao, who attacked Yeling first, appeared at the gate of the hall and blocked Uncle Wang's way. Uncle Wang Fighting to the death, but still perishing under the knife."

Baili Nian looked down at Qingrui, "He hates Uncle Wang, maybe it's because of you, or maybe it's because of his domineering heart, you said I'm not a wise monarch, you said Uncle Wang supported the wrong people, but Is Yue Jian a wise monarch again? Why did you support the right monarch? He rushed into Yeling and killed Jiang Huan. Is it for the sake of the world, or is it because of you, General Qingrui?"

Eight years ago, the Three Kingdoms besieged Dajiang. After the main army led by Jiang Huan was destroyed, the Three Kingdoms army attacked Yeling from three directions.At the time of life and death, the imperial guards stationed in Yeling were extraordinarily brave, even fighting with their lives.Knowing that this final battle was difficult to deal with, the Three Kingdoms made an oath, saying that whoever enters Yeling first will win Yeling. While Southern Ming and Northern Yanshang were waiting and watching, King Yue of Xizhao ignored the life and death of his soldiers, even if he killed them. If the enemy loses one thousand and eight hundred, he will also attack Yeling.

Xizhao was indeed the first vassal state to attack Yeling City, not only to get Yeling, but also to kill Jiang Huan.Yue Jian knew that with Jiang Huan's ability, he could survive even if Jiang Huan died, but he couldn't let Jiang Huan live. He left the general Qing Rui. It's all on Jiang Huan's head, how could he let him live.

Just at the critical moment, Jiang Huan sent Baili Nian out. Although he died, he would not let the descendants of the Jiang royal family die.

It's a pity that he was so impatient, but he didn't expect that there was Nan Ming staring at him behind him.Xizhao attacked Yeling, but in the end he was betrayed by Beiyan and Nanming, who lived around Yeling, and besieged the city of Yeling.Xizhao became a subsidiary country of Nanming, and the rest of his life was like a pig and a dog.

Qing Rui's complexion was very ugly, he had been hiding in Taoyang City for these years, he thought that with the Qingquetang, he would know the world's affairs, but there are still things in this world that he doesn't know, and there are news that he can't accept and don't want to face.

Baili Yan looked at Qing Rui with an ugly face, and he didn't say anything more. His life was not saved to pursue these old things. He had more important things, and there will be an explanation for these things later.

Baili Nian asked: "General Qing Rui, I just want to know that you showed up this time, but what news did someone send you? Or what did someone say to you?"

Qing Rui was still immersed in grief, Jiang Huan was killed by Yue Wei, this incident made his blood flow countercurrently, he even forgot his hatred for Baili Nian for a while, and the problem with him was not that much Disgusted, he remained silent, acquiescing to Baili Nian's words.

Baili Yan got a glimpse of the meaning, and continued to ask, "But what did Yue Zhixin say to you?"

Qing Rui bowed her head, did not refute, and did not speak.

Baili Nian: "What did Yuezhixin tell you?"

This time Qingrui opened his mouth, but it was not the answer that Baili Nian wanted to hear. He still had hatred for Baili Nian. Still think that Jiang Huan supporting Baili Nian is the most wrong thing.

Qing Rui pursed her lips, her voice was low and struggling, "Yue Jian did something wrong, but...but I'm still from Xizhao, no matter what, I can't reveal Xizhao's news, let alone tell you .”

Baili Nian frowned slightly, then raised his head, "It's really... troublesome."

There was silence in the damp cellar for a long time, Qing Rui would not say much, Baili Nian looked at the man in front of him, knowing that ordinary methods of persecution could not be used on him, after a long silence, Bai Li Nian still stretched out his hand He went into the sleeve, and took out a green jade pendant from it. This jade was ring-shaped, not dark green jade, but pure sapphire. Nowadays it is very difficult to find such uniform and pure sapphire.

Qing Rui could tell what it was at a glance, it was the jade pendant he had worn since he was a child, the sapphire pendant that only the sons of the Qing family had, it was when he was defeated by Jiang Huan at the bank of Taoyang City, he A gift of ginger rings.

He spared his life, he gave him a ring.

When Qingrui lived in seclusion in Taoyang, she once gave Jiang Huan a letter, promising him that if Jiang Huan wanted anything from him in the future, she would take Yuhuan to the Zhumo Tea House in Taoyang City to look for him, and he would be ashamed and return the favor. The love of his life in the past.

Baili Nian looked at the jade ring in his hand, he didn't want to take it out at first, it was a entanglement in his previous life, but Jiang Huan died at the hands of Yue Jian, so it cannot be said that Qing Rui was not responsible at all.

Baili Nian put the sapphire ring pendant in Qing Rui's hands, he raised his eyes, there was a desolation clearly flashing through his eyes, but after a short while, it was indifferent, and he said: "In the name of Uncle Wang Jiang Huan, I Let me ask you, what did Yue Zhixin tell you? What exactly does she want to do?"

"Jiang Nian! Do you really want to be so poisonous!"

Qing Rui stared at Baili Nian, when he looked at the young Baili Nian, he knew that this person would be a scourge, even though Bai Li Nian was not interested in politics when he was young, he was extremely smart.Qing Rui has heard Jiang Huan say countless times that Baili Nian is a rare intelligent young man in the world, and if a person who is too intelligent experiences something unforgettable and changes his state of mind, it will definitely be a disaster.

Just like at this moment, he is holding the sapphire pendant and asking about his appearance, it is clearly a disaster!

Baili Nian could see the look in Qingrui's eyes, it was sincere disgust, disgust for his unscrupulous methods.Baili Nian's eyes were silent, but Mo Yan who was next to him gave him two glances, he knew that Baili Nian was not in a good mood at this moment.

"What did Yue Zhixin tell you? What does she intend to do?"

Baili Nian repeated it again, still with that indifferent expression.But this fairy-like figure and indifferent demeanor are incompatible with his words.The words that came out of the mouth of this immortal-looking man were like a poisonous snake specially designed to bite people's hearts, eating green rutabaga.

Qing Rui clenched his fists, he really wanted to tear this coquettish and beautiful person in front of him, he didn't want to look at him, but in the end he opened his mouth.He Qingrui has never failed anyone in his life, even Yue Jian who grew up with him since he was a child, he has never failed anyone, but he only failed Jiang Huan, the fierce general who cherished him on the battlefield.

Even if Jiang Huan's death was not caused by him, it was because of him after all.

In Qingrui's heart, the most sinful sin is also his sin.Baili Nian threatened him with a sapphire ring, how could he not say anything.

Qingrui gritted her teeth and said: "She...she gave me a letter, asking me to sneak into Gaomingtai to assassinate you, and then blame Qiang Zhuo for your death, which caused a complete break between Da Jiang and Qiang Zhuo, causing the two countries Zhan Luan. Then use the informants stationed in Taoyang City to grasp the situation of Taoyang City, wait for Qiang Zhu and Da Jiang to fight, then Qingquetang will cooperate with Xizhao Li Yingwai, open the four major city gates in the east, west, north, south, and release the army of Xizhao Enter Taoyang City, take Taoyang City, drive Qiang Zhu back to Cangyu Mountain, and destroy Da Jiang in one fell swoop!"

"I'm done! Is that all right!"

After Qingrui finished speaking, he gave Baili Nian a hard look, and he said these words almost in one breath, not even wanting to hear his own voice.This is a plan that Yue Zhi worked so hard to prepare, but now he has thrown it out. Qing Rui knows that she is sorry for Xi Zhao, and she hates Baili Nian who forced him to hurt Xi Zhao!

But Baili Nian's thoughts were not on Qingrui at all, he pursed his lips slightly, although Qingrui's words were not long, they revealed a lot of news.

It turned out that Yue Zhixin not only made up his mind on Da Jiang, but also wanted to directly deal with Qiang Zhuo and win the world.

In fact, Yuezhixin's move is decisive, but if it succeeds, it is also a strange move.Gaomingtai is heavily guarded, there are not many people who can sneak into Gaomingtai to assassinate Baili Nian, Yue Zhixin then thought of Qingrui. Nian, even if Qingrui and Mo Yan fought, they might not lose a little bit.When Baili Nian died, he would put the blame on Qiang Zhuo, attracting Da Jiang and Bai Li Nian's old troops to fight Qiang Zhuo, and then take advantage of the fisherman's profit, join forces with Qingquetang to capture Taoyang City in one fell swoop, and drive Qiang Zhu back. Cangyu Mountain, conquer the world.

The heart of Yuezhixin can't be said to be meticulous, it can't be said to be overbearing!

It’s just that Yue Zhi’s calculations were good, but he never thought that Sai Jian would sleep in the same bed with Baili Nian. Sai Jian’s skill was braver than Mo Yan’s, and Bai Li Nian was not without skills, which made Qing Rui assassinate He was defeated and fell into the hands of Baili Nian.

Thinking of this moment, Baili Nian raised his eyes, which were slightly dark, with a hint of coolness flashing across them.If he is a little careless, he will really follow the way of getting more and more woven.

Baili Nian looked at Qing Rui again, and asked coldly, "What letter did Yue Zhixin send you?"

Although Yue Zhixin's plan was meticulous and bold, the most important part of it was difficult to control.Qingrui has been avoiding worldly affairs for so long. He was not born when the Three Kingdoms destroyed Da Jiang, and he was not born when Yue Jian was captured.Baili Nian wanted to know how Yuezhixin persuaded Qingrui to be born.

As soon as the letter was mentioned, Qing Rui's face changed suddenly, and he said angrily: "I've said everything I need to say, there's nothing to believe!"

Baili Nian: "Did you just say that you have a letter."

"No, no! It's just not! I've said what should be said and what should not be said, Jiang Nian, don't go too far!" Qing Rui said violently.

The most crucial link is unexplainable, Baili Nian will not believe Qingrui, this matter is of great importance, he must be cautious and not be careless.

Baili Nian took two steps forward, looked down at Qingrui, and asked again, "What about the letter?"

"No! Yes! Letter!"

Qingrui yelled as if breaking down. At this moment, Bailijian was like a devil in Qingrui's eyes. He really didn't want to see his face again, even though it was incomparably beautiful.

It's just that Qingrui, whose psychological defense has collapsed several times, couldn't control his emotions well. After he finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at his chest, and Baili Nian understood the meaning.He looked at Mo Yan, Mo Yan understood, walked up to Qing Rui a few steps, and took out a letter from the clothes on his chest, it was indeed something he treasured, and he kept it close to his body all the time.

Mo Yan handed the letter to Baili Nian, but Qing Rui in front of him roared, "Jiang Nian! Don't deceive people too much! That letter has nothing to do with you, return it to me!"

Baili Nian ignored Qing Rui, opened the envelope directly, took out the letter inside to check, his face remained calm, but he was a little surprised when he saw the signature of the letter.

In fact, this is not a letter written by Yue Zhixin to Qing Rui, but a letter written by Yue Zhi to Qing Rui.Looking at the yellowed paper, it should be a letter from many years ago. This is a letter written by Yue Jian to Qing Rui many years ago, but for some unknown reason, it was not sent to Qing Rui. Yuezhixin handed it over to Qingrui.

Letter content:

"Brother Qingrui, May Meng send this letter. I have been away from you for many years, and I have not heard from you. You are not around, and I am very lonely. I often think about the old love, and I don’t realize that I have been away for several years. For several years, I often think about that day. In other words, I knew it was inappropriate to be too turbulent, but because of the vanity of being a king, I couldn't apologize to you. Mr. Rui has been by my side for several years. I don't know your temperament. You will definitely not lose a war on purpose. I only hate that the young man at that time was reckless and hurt Mr. Rui's heart.

I often think about Mr. Rui at night, and dare not speak to others. I only hope that Xiaofeng will express his affection and comfort you. "

After reading the content, Bai Liyan knew that this was a letter written by Yue Jian to Qing Rui, but this letter was only a letter that he did not dare to send. "Dream to send this letter" means that I didn't want to send it, but just wrote it down to express my emotions, and Yue Qi didn't really send it out.

But the letter was finally delivered to Qingrui.

The writer of the letter has no intentions and does not want to send it, but the person who handles it has her intentions.

Yue Zhixin sent this old letter from many years ago to Qing Rui, which solved the misunderstanding between Yue Jian and Qing Rui for many years, and also solved Qing Rui's knot in his heart.Qingrui lived in seclusion in Taoyang City back then, because Yue Jian misunderstood that he deliberately lost to Jiang Huan. After understanding Yue Jian's apology, he was relieved of his worries, and naturally he would help Xi Zhao again.

Baili Nian's expression was indifferent, he folded the letter and stuffed it back into Qing Rui's clothes room, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

When Qingrui saw the letter and came back, she still glared at Baili Nian, "I told you that it has nothing to do with you, you see what it does!"

Baili Nian raised his eyes, his eyes were bleak, "You and Yue Jian have settled their suspicions, but Yue Jian knew that you didn't let the water go, and you didn't lose to Uncle Wang on purpose, but after he attacked Yeling, he still hurried I wanted to kill Uncle Wang. I killed Uncle Wang with my own hands."

It is easier to understand and forgive entanglements with people close to you, but the opposite is true for those who hate.

Qingrui and Yuejian have been monarchs and ministers for many years. They have feelings and intentions. Yuejian will understand Qingrui, but he will not let Jiang Huan go. He chose Qingrui completely, but heaped all these grievances on Jiang Huan , How could he let Jiang Huan go.

Qingrui looked at Baili Nian, but was speechless.There was no blame or hatred on Baili Nian's face, just an indifference that sees through the world.

The more things in the world he knew, the more he saw, the more boring he felt.

Baili Nian withdrew his eyes, he had finished asking what he wanted to ask, and knew what he wanted to know, so he didn't want to say a word to Qingrui at the moment, turned his head and walked out, his eyes were still indifferent.

"Jiang Nian!" Qing Rui suddenly called out Baili Nian.

Baili Nian stood on the spot without looking back, "I will let you go, but not at this time."

"I didn't mean that," Qing Rui looked at Baili Nian's back, he bit his lip, and said, "I went to assassinate you because I thought of Jiang Huan again because of Yue Jian's death. Thinking of your threat to Xi Zhao, I decided to do it without authorization. For Xi Zhao, I don't regret this matter, it's just..."

"It's just that whether you are a wise monarch or not is not something I consider. Brother Jiang Huan has his reasons, and there are laws in this world. I shouldn't think about others with my own thinking. Brother Jiang Huan...Brother Jiang Huan I apologize to you for Yue Kan's death."

After a long silence, Baili pursed his lips, with a complicated expression on his face, he raised his head and walked forward.

"You don't need to say these things, you should know that I won't accept your apology, and I don't care whether you apologize or not." Baili Nian said in a cold tone.

Baili Nian never asks others to apologize, and never talks about right or wrong.If an apology was useful in this world, and there was a distinction between right and wrong, the world would have been peaceful and prosperous long ago, how could it be like this now?Baili Nian just does what he has to do.

And Qing Rui, who was tied up in the cellar, frowned tightly as she watched Baili Nian's thin figure leaving.
