lonely king

After bypassing a few roads, the group of people walked to the side of the hill. In front of them was the upper reaches of the Baiji River. The river surface was narrow, but only half a mile, which was very different from the river surface that was tens of miles downstream to the east.The group of people going north should have gone north here, detoured to the official road and headed to the north, but the white shadow in front went all the way east, towards the Baiji River.

Baijijiang is the place where the north and the south are divided, so I don't know what to do here.

Baili Nian raised his eyes. The source of the Baiji River is dozens of rivers in the west, and there are even small streams coming down from Cangyu Mountain. Dozens of rivers and small streams converge together, flow into the Baiji River, and then flow eastward from the Baiji River into seawater In the middle, such a long flow is in front of you.

Baili Nian said: "Mo Yan, are you coming to Yeling soon?"

Mo Yan followed Baili Nian on horseback, "Ahead is the mouth of the Bailiu River. After passing the Jiangyuan Pass, it will be only thirty miles away before we arrive at Yeling."

"Well," Baili Nian murmured, and after a while he looked at Mo Yan again, "Is everything arranged?"

Mo Yan nodded solemnly, "It's all arranged, and the news will be released when night falls."

"Where are Qingquetang and Qingrui?" Baili Nian asked again.

Mo Yan raised his eyes, "Everything at the Qingquetang was in accordance with the master's request, and the soldiers did not move. The news Yue Zhixin wanted was passed on. Although it was not passed on by Qingrui himself, there was no suspicion there. Qingrui, "

Mo Yan glanced at the carriage at the back, his eyes deepened, "The man has already been brought out, just behind, and the news of Qing Rui's capture has not leaked out at all, the lord can rest assured."

"it is good."

In the misty veil, Baili Nian's peerless face showed no expression, but the bottom of his eyes turned cold again, desolate and lost.

"My lord...why didn't you kill him." Mo Yan glanced at the carriage behind him from the corner of his eye. Although Qing Rui was the key to the winning strategy, after getting the corresponding news, this person was already useless. He was also afraid of causing trouble, according to Baili Nian's temperament, he should be killed.

But Baili Nian didn't take it seriously, "Keep it, it might be useful."

This matter is not finished, he will not pull out this pawn, besides, he is still an old friend of Uncle Wang.

The sun in the west is getting lower and lower, and it seems to be submerged on the horizon, and the sky has also darkened. The moon has not yet come out, and it may be covered in dark clouds. The earth suddenly fell into darkness, but Baili Nian and his party In the darkness, he disappeared into the woods beside the Jiangyuan Pass.

A crow sang in the night sky, and the Jiangyuan Pass fell into silence, only the sound of the river flowing into the river was still rippling, and the sound of rushing water was endless.

……

"What! Baili Nian and his party are missing!"

Taoyang City, Gaoming Terrace.

Sai Jian slammed a memorial on the ground, and he stared fiercely at His Highness, who was none other than Wei Yu.Wei Yu was sent by Sai Jian to follow Baili Nian and his party, with the intention of secretly protecting their safety, sending them to Dajiang before returning.But Wei Yu followed him to the Jiangyuan pass and lost it.He searched the forest at Jiangguan Pass at night, but although the forest at Jiangyuan Pass was dense, and it was early summer, he couldn't touch anyone.

Wei Yu searched for a whole night, but didn't see anyone, so he hurried back to report to Sai Jian.

Sai Jian's face was livid, he felt that there was something wrong with this trip, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly disappear.The terrain of Jiangyuan Pass is complicated, and it is the mouth of a hundred rivers, surrounded by dense forests. If someone goes missing from this place, it is really hard to find.The main reason is that Sai Jian is a little unclear about how this disappearance can be sung. With Nian'er's intelligence, is this disappearance done by him or by himself?

"Wei Yu, go and gather troops. This king will go to the Jiangyuan Pass in person to find Nian'er!"

No matter what it is, Sai Jian is worried about Baili Nian after all, and must first find out the person before talking about other things.

The army and horses of Taoyang City have been on guard all the time. Although the world is now stable, it is well known that there are undercurrents surging in the Three Kingdoms. If the soldiers and horses are not on guard, they will definitely be designed by other countries.At this time, it was not too much trouble for Sai Jian to mobilize the two teams of soldiers and horses, and he left Taoyang City on the same day.

Sai Jian went here to look for Baili Nian, so he asked the soldiers to change into plain clothes and dress up as servants. They went out at night and left Taoyang City when there was no one else.After all, bringing tens of thousands of horses to Jiangyuan Pass suddenly, I don't know what trouble it will cause. Jiangyuan Pass is the boundary between the north and the south, and there are several small countries.

A group of people marched to Jiangyuan Pass, Sai Jian rode fast, and led cavalry, and arrived at Jiangyuan Pass in one day.Sai Jian left Taoyang City at night, and when it was almost dusk when he reached Jiangyuan Pass, riding the afterglow of the sun and falling completely, Sai Jian turned his head to look at Wei Yu.

"Are you really missing here?"

Wei Yu nodded, "It's at Jiangyuan Pass."

Sai Jian looked at the surrounding mountains and listened to the non-stop flowing water. Looking at this area, there were really no people, and the terrain was rugged, making it difficult to search. Sai Jian was inexplicably a little irritable.

Sai Jian glared at Wei Yu, "Where did he disappear, can you see clearly!?"

Wei Yu also had an anxious face on his face. He looked back and forth at the nearby situation, looked at a path that went into the forest, and suddenly raised his eyes, "Your Majesty, this is the path. It was already night, and they didn't carry the lights. I didn't dare to follow too far, it's here, they disappeared after entering, this subordinate... this subordinate chased after him, but found nothing."

Sai Jian: "Did you get lost here?"

Sai Jian followed Wei Yu's finger and looked at the path in the forest. This path is actually not narrow and can accommodate a carriage, but he didn't find this path when he came over.There are lush trees on both sides of this road, and the branches are very dense, covering the small intersection tightly. If you want to cross this small road, you need to lower your head to pass, let alone riding a horse or driving a carriage. ?

Sai Jian frowned slightly, and he said to himself: "This small road is close to the Jiangyuan Pass, and it is parallel to the Baiji River. If Nian'er returns to the northern border, he should not take this road... "

He should have gone north instead of this path going east.

"Xu...Xu Yes, is this a shortcut? Can it lead to Da Jiang?" Wei Yu whispered, answering Sai Jian's soliloquy.

In fact, Wei Yu also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't want to place bad thoughts on Baili Nian again, although this person was enough to disappoint.

For a while, there was a stalemate.The two of them stopped at Jiangyuan Pass with tens of thousands of troops and horses. Some of them didn't know how to intervene. Only now did Sai Jian understand Wei Yu's words. It was really not easy to search the mountains of Jiangyuan Pass.

Seeing that the dusk was approaching, Sai Jian couldn't stay here, he gritted his teeth and wanted to search the mountain along the path, but before he gave the order, there was a sound of horseshoes behind him, and the group immediately became alert.

Jiangyuanguan is densely forested, and more than 100 rivers and streams flow into the Baiji River from here. Although it is a good place for sightseeing, there are many wild beasts in the mountains. down.

What's the matter with the sound of hooves?

After a while, Wei Yu suddenly raised his head, "Your Majesty, it's a horse from the grassland."

"Our people?" Sai Jian also heard it.

The horses in the Qiangma grassland are different from the horses in the Central Plains. The hooves of the horses are half an inch bigger, and the hooves are the hardest. The sound of stepping on the road is high and thick, which is the sound of grassland horses.Sai Jian gave Wei Yu a look, Wei Yu understood, turned his horse's head and went to the rear.

The person who came was indeed his own, and someone Wei Yu knew well.The disciple of the great concubine Liu Jing, ranked seventh in swordsmanship, and the best in lightness kung fu and equestrian skills, Wei Yu called him Liu Qi.

Wei Yu looked at the visitor, "Liu Qi? Why did you come to Jiangyuan Pass?"

Liu Qi was out of breath, and she was a little hoarse when she spoke. It must be because the horse was on the road so fast that there was not even room for drinking water.

Liu Qidao: "It was the eldest son of the Great Shu who came to stop the king. There is an urgent news."

"Urgent news?" Wei Yu was puzzled, the world had been at peace for a long time, and Qiang Zhu's national strength was profound, so if there was any urgent news that Liu Qi should send, Wei Yu felt a little uneasy, thinking that it would not be a good thing.

But Liu Qi didn't have time to talk to Wei Yu, for fear of delaying the news, he asked: "Where is your majesty? Nothing happened?"

"What can happen to the king?" Liu Qi asked strangely, Wei Yu immediately frowned, but before he could say anything, Liu Qi couldn't wait to drive forward, and hurriedly said: "General Wei, first Take me to the king."

Wei Yu nodded, "Let's go, the king is in front."

Seeing that the person who came was Liu Qi from the Liu family, Sai Jian was also a little puzzled. Among Liu Jing's followers, Liu Qi had the weirdest temper. If there was nothing serious, Liu Jing would never send Liu Qi here. The city found Jiangyuanguan, which shows that there is indeed something important.

Sai Jian's face darkened slightly, and he asked Liu Qi, "What happened to Tao Yang?"

Liu Qi shook her head, "It's not Tao Yang's accident, it's the northern border."

"What happened to Nian'er!?"

Sai Jian was very excited, he grabbed Liu Qi's rein, although he had no intention of threatening Liu Qi, but his face was still very scary.Liu Qi was stunned, she didn't know that Baili Nian was Sai Jian's Ni Lin, and she didn't understand the meaning of her attitude towards him.

After all, it's an important matter, and Liu Qi doesn't give a shit about it. "It's Jiang Nian, the king of Jiang, who has an accident. Jiang Nian disappeared on the way back to the country. But this is not the point. The point is that Jiang suspects that Qiang Zhu has done something. In the letter of war, we must send troops to Qiang Zhuo! Let Qiang Zhuo hand over his people!"

"You, what did you say?" Sai Jian was so surprised that he really didn't understand what it meant.

Liu Qidao: "This is written by Da Jiang Lai's battle. It is said that Jiang Nian, the leader of the Great Jiang Kingdom, was ambushed by Qiang Zhu's people on the way back to Da Jiang from Taoyang. Jiang Nian was assassinated by an assassin, and his whereabouts are unknown. Some people claimed that the assassin was from Qiangzhu, and said that the assassin himself said it, but they couldn't explain it. We must hand over Jiang Nian, otherwise we will send troops to Taoyang City. Now General Jiang Sui Yi has led the army 20 came out of Dajiang King City and headed towards Tao Yang."

"what!?"

"what!?"

Sai Jian and Wei Yu said in unison, Baili Nian's person disappeared, they knew it, but Da Jiang sent someone to assassinate him?Do you still care about the dignitaries of Jiang? Send troops to Taoyang City!This is where and where, Sai Jian and Wei Yu did not expect this to be the case.

Seeing that the two were surprised at first, but then refused to believe it, Liu Qi was also a little anxious. He quickly took out a letter from his pocket, which was the letter of war from Da Jiang. He said: "Your Majesty must not In effect, regardless of whether Jiang Nian was assassinated by the Qiang Zhu people or not, the news that Jiang Nian has sent troops to Qiang Zhu has already spread throughout the world, it is absolutely true!"

Sai Jian was still shocked and refused to believe it, but Wei Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, maybe we were designed by that person?"

"What nonsense!" Sai Jian stared at Wei Yu, although his heart was beating, but he didn't allow Wei Yu to say it.

Did Nianer play some tricks on him?

Nian'er never does things for no reason, why did she suddenly disappear, why did she involve Qiang Zhuo, why did she suddenly send troops to declare war on Qiang Zhuo?All this happened so suddenly, couldn't it be Baili Nian's handwriting?

And even if there was an assassin, with Mo Yan by his side, and Baili Nian himself was a master of poison, Sai Jian really couldn't figure out why he disappeared, and why he insisted that he was the assassin sent by Qiang Zhuo.

And in such a depressing atmosphere, Liu Qi opened his mouth again and dealt a heavy blow.

Liu Qi: "Your Majesty, Master Da Shu asked his subordinates to take you back to Taoyang as soon as possible. Not only Da Jiang has already dispatched troops, but Xi Zhao is also about to make a move. An informant came to report that King Xi Zhao knew that Da Jiang was about to send troops. Afterwards, we also rectified the army and horses, although we did not say that we would send troops to Qiang Zhuo, but we have already come in the direction of Taoyang City."

"Crack~"

The long sword in Sai Jian's hand fell to the ground with a loud sound, and his heart seemed to fall to the ground, breaking into pieces.If he could justify Baili Nian just now, then he can't justify it at this time. The two countries sent troops to Qiang Zhu at the same time, the meaning of which is really obvious.

Wei Yu had a cold face, and sneered, "Oh, I said why Baili Nian suddenly left, and why he disappeared in Jiangyuan Pass, it turned out that he had set up a trick, and he didn't come to Taoyang City to attack the west. Zhao, but to design Qiang Zhuo!"

"Ha! I really didn't expect it! I didn't expect it! No one can guess what Shen Jizi is thinking!"

Sai Jian's hands were clenched into fists, from initial shock, to disbelief, to suspicion, he finally decided.But in a short period of time, it seems to have experienced decades of vicissitudes

Heartache!The heartache is full, and I can't hide it at all.

……

At this time, Yeling, the old capital of Dajiang.

The city of Yeling, which has always been like hell, is uninhabited and uninhabited, but now there are a few candles.The flames flickered in the ruined house of Prince Shuo's mansion, and there were two piles of firewood piled on the edge of the half-collapsed wall. The flames swayed with the wind from here, and the person sitting beside the fire was the "disappeared" Baili Nian.

Mo Yan sent a piece of dry food to Baili Nian, but Baili Nian waved his sleeves, but did not go to take it.

At this time, Baili Nian had already taken off his veiled cap, and was wearing a black cloak that could be submerged into the night, only showing his incomparably handsome face.

Baili Nian raised his head slightly and asked Mo Yan, "How is it now?"

Mo Yan was eating dry food, put away his things immediately, and replied: "Everything is according to the master's plan, the news of your disappearance has spread all over the world, General Sui Yi and Sui have sent troops, but they will arrive in Yeling in a few days , and Xizhao's side..."

Mo Yan paused, "Xizhao's side has also started to make moves. Qingquetang is cooperating with Xizhao, and passed the defense map of Taoyang City to Xizhao. Xizhao should point directly at Taoyang."

It is true that everything is according to Baili Nian's plan, but this time, Baili Nian is unexpectedly a little depressed, and he lowers his eyes.

Through Qingrui, Baili Nian knew about Yue Zhixin's strategy, and Yue Zhixin wanted Qingrui to kill Baili Nian, and then put the blame on Qiang Zhuo after he succeeded, causing Qiang Zhuo to fight with Da Jiang. Da Jiang must not be Qiang Zhu's opponent, Yue Zhixin, joined forces with Qingquetang again, attacked Taoyang City, and drove Qiang back to Cangyu Mountain in one fell swoop.

Now it seems that it is almost as planned by Yue Zhixin. Everyone in the world knows that Jiang is going to send troops to Qiang Zhuo, and Xi Zhao has also acted accordingly.The only difference is that Baili Nian was not killed in Taoyang City, but hid here.

Baili Nian naturally has his plans.

When he was in Taoyang City, he also wanted to tell Sai Jian about this, and jointly deal with Xi Zhao. With the joint efforts of Qiang Zhu and Da Jiang, he would definitely be able to deal with Xi Zhao.However, if this is the case, there will only be two countries left in the world, Qiang Zhu and Da Jiang. Da Jiang is not Qiang Zhu's opponent, and Baili is against him... It's not that he doesn't believe in Sai Jian, but this is not his original chessboard. It shouldn't be.

He should want the world, to destroy Beiyan Xizhao Nanming, to take back his world...

In Taoyang City, he really wanted to be honest with each other, but in the end he didn't...

Baili Nian had another plan, he decided to follow the plan, hide himself, and let Sui Yi send troops to Da Jiang, everything was according to Yue Zhixin's plan.It's just that when he sent troops to Qiang Zhuo, he didn't really want to fight, but stationed far away, waiting for Xizhao to send troops to Taoyang City.Yue Zhi wanted to see Qiang Zhu and the Massacre, so he wanted to watch Xizhao and Qiang Chao, to see who could afford to wait.

Yue Zhixin may be able to bear his temper, but Yue Wei will definitely not.The attack and defense blueprint of Taoyang City has been passed from Qingquetang to Xizhao. Yue Min will be eager to attack Taoyang City when he gets the blueprint. Li Nian then asked the Jiang army stationed nearby to capture it.

It will kill two birds with one stone, not only destroy Xizhao, but also capture Qiang Zhuo, and drive Qiang Zhuo back to Cangyu Mountain.

Beside the fire, Baili Nian slightly raised his eyes and murmured: "I lured you out of Cangyu Mountain back then, but now I plan to let you go back, you will blame me..."

After all, Qiang Zhuo became a pawn that he could not control. He thought for a long time, how to deal with Qiang Zhuo and how to arrange Sai Jian.Can you keep him in the Central Plains?He has nothing to do with the hatred of Jiang who was captured by the Three Kingdoms...

He is good to himself, is good.

Baili pursed his lips, his eyes were full of entanglement that he had never felt before.After all, he is not the old Jiang who was just born, he has also been changed a lot by Sai Jian invisibly.

"My lord, are you...are you alright?" Mo Yan looked at Baili Nian, seeing his body trembling slightly, Mo Yan was a little worried.

Baili Nian still lowered his head, and he spoke after a long time, but his voice was a little hoarse.

"Mo Yan, tell me, is the lonely king's life very boring?"

When he was a king, relying on Uncle Wang by his side, he was mischievous and ignored political affairs. What he disliked the most was being a king. He often shouted to pass the throne to Jiang Huan, which provoked Jiang Huan to beat him.Later, Uncle Wang was plotted, and Jiang was captured by the Three Kingdoms. He was no longer a king at last, but Uncle Wang’s dying words seemed to be imprinted on his heart. He said: The world can only be ruled by Jiang, and only Jiang can is orthodox.

The one who wanted to die the most, he survived. From a wayward boy to a gloomy magic machine, he plotted against the Three Kingdoms and the world step by step, and wanted to regain his seat as the lord of the world.

Isn't it very boring to go round and round in this life...

Baili shed a tear, nearly nine years of calculations are about to succeed, but the older he gets, the more his heart becomes ashes.

When Mo Yan saw Baili Nian crying, he was startled, and looked at Baili Nian helplessly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...don't do this, why, why is it so boring? The world of Jiang is about to die." It's back in your hands, my lord..."

Suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing, and the hair of a hundred li twisted was raised. He raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of the wind. That was the main room of Shuo Wangfu. In the past, Shuo Wang Jiang Huan loved to sit at the door of the main room. , or teach him who is ignorant, or tell him who is playful and troublesome.

But at this moment, Baili Nian looked in that direction, but the appearance of Uncle Wang in his mind was much blurred.

"Uncle Wang, is this really what you want?" Baili Nian murmured to himself.

No one answered him, only the night wind blew by, blowing his hair.
