lonely king

When Baili Nian woke up, it was already the time of the second day.

He opened his eyes slightly, and stared at it for a few times, seeing the bright yellow curtains, he sat up and looked around, this bedroom is very spacious, there are not many decorations, but the jade is very good at first glance.

This should be a bedroom somewhere in the palace.

Baili Nian raised his eyes, at this moment a hearty and rough voice had already entered his ears, the man just entered the bedroom, saw Baili Nian laughed.

"Is the fairy awake?"

Sai Jian looked at Baili Nian on the bed, frowned, and sat beside him.

Baili Nian looked at Sai Jian, his eyes fell on his all-black crown robe, and there was a dragon's head emblem on his shoulder, which was very shallow but Baili Nian could see it.

"See Your Majesty." Baili Nian nodded slightly, without deliberately saluting.

"Yo, an immortal is an immortal. Before this king has said anything, the immortal knows that this king is a king."

Sai Jian raised his eyebrows, smiled boldly, and immediately patted Baili Nian's shoulder with his hand, and when his hand was about to fall on Baili Nian's shoulder, he suddenly remembered the matter of slapping Baili Nian down before, and immediately Withdrew his hand.

"This king almost forgot that immortals are weak."

"I haven't thanked the king for saving me yet. I passed by here yesterday. Thank you, the king, for saving my life."

Baili Nian nodded in thanks, his eyes seemed to be filled with chaos, he couldn't see anything, but Sai Jian scratched his head, his eyes hanging.

He didn't save Baili Nian's life, obviously he heard from his informant that Baili Nian passed by here, so he went to the border to rob Baili Nian.Baili Nian presented the red jade jade seal to King Beiyan, and his reputation for clever calculations has long been passed on.

Sai Jian just wondered if this Nanlin magic machine was as ingenious as the legend said, so he didn't say it could save his life.

"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay, this king is passing through the border, and saw that the immortal was unwell, so he rescued him, immortal... how much better is the immortal now?"

He was blunt and admitted it directly, and then said a few words in Baili Nian's words.

And Baili Nian didn't seem to see the guilty look in Sai Jian's eyes, he nodded and replied: "It's much better, thank you, Your Majesty."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, there is no need to be strict with etiquette. This king is not a person who pays too much attention to common etiquette."

Sai Jian laughed loudly, then took off his outer shirt, and sat on the edge of the bed wearing only an inner shirt that exposed his chest, he really didn't know how to be polite.

Moreover, there are not many servants in this bedroom, and there are not many eunuchs who follow Sai Jian.

Baili Nian pursed his thin lips slightly, and looked around the palace for a few more times. This palace seems to have just been established, without many traces of time, and its appearance is somewhat nondescript, somewhat like the shadow of King Beiyan's palace. , there is also a bit of the shadow of the Nanming King's Palace.

I only learned the skin of the palaces of these countries, and there are no rules at all. It can be seen that this palace is like a gourd.

This should be a small country of the nomadic people in the west. It stole a bit of the model of a big country, and it was not built like it was.

"Your Majesty is hospitable, and he is a life-saving grace to the grassroots. However, the grassroots are dressed in white. It may not be appropriate to live in the king's newly built palace when they first arrive. Now that I am in good health, I don't want to bother the king anymore. I hope the king will agree. I will bid farewell today."

Baili Nian bowed, with a respectful yet indifferent expression, the meaning could not be more obvious, he wanted to leave here, but Sai Jian had no intention of letting Baili Nian leave.

"That won't do!"

Sai Jian refused straight away, he managed to catch this magic machine of Nanlin and took him captive to the palace, how could he just let him go.

"Since you have arrived at this king's palace, this king will not allow you to leave!"

Baili Nian raised his eyes and turned to look at Sai Jian, "Your Majesty, you want me to do a fortune telling for you?"

"Uh...this."

Sai Jian rolled his eyes, he really had this idea, Nanlin Shenjizi was famous all over the world, he presented the red jade jade seal to King Beiyan, the one who got the red jade jade seal won the world, Baili Nian was the one who presented the jade seal, counted as Beiyan Kingdom It is even more favorable and the national strength is growing day by day.

Sai Jian was always curious about the Central Plains, and even more curious about this magical machine, wanting him to make a fortune for him.

"This king has also heard the rules of the immortals. There is only one person within a month. From the celebration of the Beiyan Kingdom to the present, it is only a few days before January. I am not in a hurry. I will just wait for these few days. The king can still wait, as long as the immortal lives here, "

Sai Jian flicked his sleeves, looking magnanimous, it was rare for an unruly king who only wore underwear in front of outsiders, still remembered Baili Nian's rules and followed them.

Baili Nian raised her eyes and glanced at him, the color of her eyes gradually darkened.

Sai Jian didn't intend to let Baili Nian leave, he couldn't leave naturally, Baili Nian's health was also not good, the carriage was tiring for many days, his already weak body was even weaker.From when Sai Jian entered to when Sai Jian left because of Chao Gang's affairs, Baili Nian didn't get out of bed either.

Sai Jian didn't mind at all, he regarded Baili Nian as the guest of honour, and he didn't neglect at all. Although this palace is not comparable to the palace of Nanming Kingdom, but the servants serve them with all their heart, and it can be seen that Sai Jian treats Baili Nian very well. kindness and attention.

Baili Nian glanced out the window, but he didn't expect to visit this small border country.

The setting sun set in the west, and the night gradually dyed the sky.

Sai Jian specially arranged for his servants to prepare candles for Baili Nian. A cool wind blew from the window, and the candle wick swayed a little. Baili Nian raised his eyes slightly, and saw Mo Yan jumping in from the window sill.

"My lord! This subordinate has neglected his duty."

Mo Yan knelt on the ground, frowning tightly, Baili Nian was brought here because of his dereliction of duty.

"It's okay, you can rest here for two days." Baili Nian said indifferently.

"It's the subordinate's fault to delay the master's schedule."

Baili Nian glanced at Mo Yan who was kneeling on the ground, then slowly raised his eyes to look at the bright moon outside the window, the moon seemed to be a bit rounder the further west he went.

"This should be the border of the Three Kingdoms of Beiyan, Nanming, and Xizhao. This is a small nomadic country. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Qiangzhu Kingdom."

The Qiangzhu Kingdom is located in the Beiyan Kingdom, Nanming Kingdom, and Xizhao Kingdom, a subsidiary state of the Nanming Kingdom, at the junction of the three countries. The junction of several countries should have been a traffic fortress, but the weather here is a bit bad, and there is a big mountain. Yushan blocked the grassland.

That's why there is not even a station on this official road.

But here, there is a small country, the Qiangzhu Kingdom.

"Yes, after passing the border of Nanming Kingdom, to the west is Xizhao Kingdom, and after passing Cangyu Mountain, it is all the territory of Qiangzhu Kingdom." Mo Yan said.

Baili Nian nodded slightly, "Just stay here for a few days, go to Xizhao Kingdom and see what's going on there, it should be very close to Xizhao Kingdom."

After leaving the territory of the Nanming Kingdom, to the southwest is the Xizhao Kingdom, and to the northwest is the Qiangzhu Kingdom, and the Xizhao Kingdom and the Qiangzhu Kingdom are next to each other. It is far from close. I am afraid that the king of Qiangzhu can go to Xizhao if he goes hunting. territory.

Mo Yan lowered his head, "Yes."

Xi Zhao's situation was naturally very important to him.

"Immortal Situ? Immortal Situ?"

Sai Jian's voice came from outside the door, Baili Nian and Mo Yan raised their heads almost at the same time, Baili Nian gave Mo Yan a look, and he passed through the window and disappeared into the night, when Sai Jian just entered the door and heard There was a sound from the window, so I stopped and looked at the window twice.

"Has anyone been here?"

Don't look at Sai Jian's rough appearance, he is very sharp and strong in martial arts, if Mo Yan is not a bit better in lightness kung fu, he might not be able to escape Sai Jian's eyes.

"Your Majesty was joking, there is no one there, it's just the wind."

Sai Jian turned his eyes to look at Baili Nian, but he didn't refute him. It's the windy season, and the recent wind is indeed a bit stronger.

"I heard that the immortal hadn't eaten dinner, so I brought some game for the immortal. I just killed fresh venison today. Let the immortal try it?"

Sai Jian held up a thin sharpened stick with a whole deer leg stuck in it. It had just been handcuffed, and it was still full of fragrance. It looked delicious.

Baili Nian glanced at the venison, and frowned slightly. The carriage has been exhausted for so long, and his appetite has not yet recovered. The oily venison did not arouse his appetite, but attracted him. He was sour.

"no need."

Baili Nian leaned back a few minutes, but Sai Jian held the venison and stretched it in front of Baili Nian, yet he didn't see Baili Nian's frown.

"The taste is really good. This king just hunted it down today. Don't the immortals try it?"

"The grass people are just passers-by on the way. Your Majesty doesn't need to be so polite. It is the king's kindness to give the grass people a place to stay."

Baili Nian pushed away the venison, raised his eyes slightly to look at Sai Jian, after working hard for a few days without eating rice, Baili Nian's face turned pale again, without even a trace of blood, his skin seemed to have just survived. There is a layer of white grease on top of it, as if it will be broken with a light poke.

Sai Jian unconsciously poked it with his finger.

"Immortal, you are really good-looking. Are the men in the southern border different from this king? Your face is more delicate than the princesses of neighboring countries. It's wonderful."

When the fingers touch the skin, it is like touching the first snow that has not been seen in a hundred years. It is as slippery as nothing, and it melts away with a light touch. It is a feeling that people from the Qiangzhu country will not have.

Baili Nian moved back a little bit, and pushed Sai Jian's hand away.

"Your majesty was joking, but it's just that the weather in the south is less warm and windy, and there is not so much wind and sun."

"That's it."

Sai Jian is used to living in the grasslands and deserts, and has never been to the southern border. He knows very little about the scenery on Cangyu Mountain. In the palace of Nanming Kingdom, such a palace with four different shapes was built.

He was even more curious about this magical machine that can calculate the world, so he took Baili Nian captive to the palace.

"This scar on the immortal's face is...?" Sai Jian pointed at the corner of Baili Nian's eye.

On the white and fat-like skin, there is a red crescent-shaped scar, which is harmonious and discordant, which is particularly eye-catching.

"When I was a teenager, I accidentally knocked over the candlestick, leaving a little scar mark. If the king doesn't like it, the grassroots can cover it up."

Baili Nian took a piece of white gauze from the head of the bed smoothly. This scar could not be removed, and he didn't want to get rid of it, so he could only cover it up with a piece of white gauze from time to time.

Bai Sha was snatched away by Sai Jian before his face was covered, he approached Baili Nian, and took a few more glances at the crescent-shaped red marks under the corners of Bai Li Nian's eyes. "It's pleasing to the eye, I think it's... quite pretty."

Sai Jian laughed a few times, no one would say that the scars on his face are beautiful, Sai Jian said this out of nowhere, but he really thinks it is beautiful, his white face like the first snow, dotted with a crescent moon red, really is not ugly .

"The king is joking again."

Baili Nian's eyes lowered slightly, and his voice was a little cold.

"Really? I don't think I'm joking, the immortal is really pretty!"

Sai Jian was still not convinced, he stared at Baili Nian with his round eyes, the mighty and majestic man was like a child.

Baili rolled his eyes and said nothing.

After a while, he raised his head and looked out the window, and happened to see the moon outside the window. It was the end of the month, and the moon only showed a little crescent, but it was extraordinarily bright. It was different from what he saw in the South Forest. Zhu seemed to be a little closer to the moon and could see it clearly.

"I heard that there are a lot of cattle and sheep prey on the Qiangma grassland. The king likes to hunt. I wonder if the grassland people will be lucky enough to take a look at the scenery on the hunting ground of the Qiangma country?"

"The immortal wants me to hunt?"

Sai Jian sized Baili Nian a few times, hesitating a little.

If Baili Nian wants to watch singing and dancing, he can arrange a few shows, but he is going to the hunting ground?The grassland of Qiangmao is a natural hunting ground, the wind is strong and there are no fences, he is often injured, Baili Nian is such a weak body, the wind in the grassland can blow him down, how can Sai Jian rest assured that he goes to the hunting ground.

"Cao Min is really not in good health, mostly because the carriage has traveled thousands of miles, and the king can recover a lot after a few days of rest here, so it's not a problem."

"Is it really okay?" Sai Jian was still worried.

"It's okay." Baili said.
