lonely king

Sai Jian has lived in Dajiang for seven or eight days.During this period, he didn't mention anything about Xizhao, and neither did Baili Nian. He made offerings to Sai Jian with good food and drink, and occasionally visited him.Sai Jian's expression was still not good, Baili Nian just sat and walked away, I don't know if he followed him deliberately, or he was really not in a hurry.

One day Saijian strolled to Shuyu Pavilion, saw that Baili Nian was not in the bedroom, so he wandered into Shuyue Pavilion.He was lazy, the palace people knew his identity, they dared not stop him when they saw him, and let him hang around inside and outside Shuyue Pavilion.Baili Nian didn't expect that there was someone in the palace, and he was discussing with Sui Yi about Xizhao before he stepped into the palace gate.

"What news came from Xizhao?"

Hearing Baili Nian's question to Sui Yi, Sai Jian wanted to go out, but seeing Sui Yi follow Baili Nian into the bedroom, he stopped in his tracks.The atmosphere between the two was a little tense, and Sai Jian was not noticed, standing in the middle of the room talking.

Sui Yidao: "Xizhao's side is fine. There are [-] troops from Qiangzhao stationed in the remnant city of Xizhao, and there will be no troubles for the time being. But Xizhao only wiped out most of the court officials, and the officials of the counties and counties below It’s still intact, and the daily government affairs can still be run. But the south of the Baiji River, which was originally the boundary of Nanming, is not a good situation.”

"Riot? Chaos?" Baili Nian frowned slightly, looking at Sui Yi.

Sui Yi sighed, as a tacit consent. He always felt a little guilty when talking about Nanming, and said, "Nanming was the place where the last general followed Yu Wenyang to defeat it. Later, Xizhao was defeated and entered the boundary of Xizhao. Nanming and Xizhao Zhao is different, although Xizhao has just been ruined, the counties and counties below are still doing well. Except for Xizhao King City, which is considered useless, other cities are also step by step, and the people's life is not bad."

"But Nanming is not." Sui Yi paused, "After Yu Wenyang entered Nanming, he would massacre the city or set fire to it. He stayed in the Nanming Palace for several months and robbed the surrounding cities, counties, counties and villages. Momo I said that he was the lord of the counties and cities in Nanming. I am afraid that even half of the ink-smelling literati have disappeared. Those left in Nanming are either local bullies, or self-proclaimed heroes in troubled times. The rich land will become a rakshasa hell, and wars will break out."

As Sui Yi said, even if Qiang Zhu Da Jiang did not move his troops, and the small country feared that the two countries would not cause chaos, the land of Nanming could turn upside down by itself.In the past few days, there have been quite a few local tyrants who have revolted. They dare not provoke Qiang Zhuo Dajiang, and they only fight other local bully kings to fight for territory.The toubob, who is not a regular army horse, can fight for life and death, and fight cruelly.In order to fight for the little food left in the war, the scene was miserable.

The common people all ran to the border of Xizhao and Qiang, and many of them crossed the river to the north. If the Nanming didn't rest, it would really turn into Raksha hell.

Baili Nian felt a little headache, although he maintained a tepid look on the surface, but he was anxious inside.His eyes drooped, his eyelashes fluttered slightly.Sai Jian, who was hiding aside, knew that it was Baili Nian's expression when he was upset or had a headache.

Baili Nian over there said: "Nanming people crossing the river to the north, let them enter Dajiang. In addition, you rectify the army and horses, and prepare to cross the river at all times."

"Don't you just cross the river and enter Nanming now? Let Nanming go on like this?" Sui Yi was very anxious.After all, Nanming became what he is today, and he always felt that he had nothing to do with him. When he first entered Nanming, he saw Yu Wenyang's brutality, but he couldn't stop him.

After all, Sui Yi is the son of Orion. After joining the army and becoming a general, he did not forget his relatives in the past, let alone the hard times before.They are all poor people. In one day of chaos in Nanming, countless innocent people will be trapped in the swamp.

"Don't worry." Baili Nian gave a rare word of comfort to Sui Yi, and even patted him on the shoulder. This is the way Baili Nian used to be, it wouldn't exist.

"Now is not the time, not to mention that we have been fighting for many years, the treasury is empty, and the army and horses are tired. We only talk about the current chaos in Nanming. Can we calm down by sending troops across the river? How many troops and horses does Da Jiang have, and what is his relationship with Qiang Zhu now? You don't know, do you?"

In short, it is definitely not a good idea for Jiang to send troops rashly.

"Then what should we do?" Sui Yi was anxious and reckless, he didn't know what to do, so he could only hold Baili Nian's wrist, hoping that this scheming master would give him a plan.

And Baili Nian was silent for a long while, before he could speak, a voice came from behind.Sai Jian came out, looked twice at Sui Yi's wrist holding Baili Nian, and teased, "Is the king of your Great Jiang Kingdom so close to his subjects?"

Sui Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was impolite, quickly withdrew his hand, and apologized to Baili Nian, "Your Majesty, my humble servant... I didn't mean it."

"No problem." Baili Nian had a calm expression on his face, he knew Sui Yi's knot in Nanming's matter.

It's just that Sai Jian glanced at Baili Nian, and his expression was not good.Baili turned his head to meet his sullen eyes, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Sai Jian just came out to interrupt the two of them, forgetting that he was the uninvited guest, and panicked subconsciously.He always panicked in front of Baili Nian, afraid of offending Baili Nian, but after thinking about it, he became more confident. "Why? When I came to the north, this king lived in Shuyue Pavilion, so I can't come and visit now? When you were in Taoyang City, you were allowed to visit the king's bedroom, and you were allowed to sleep in the king's bed." Woolen cloth."

"..." Baili Nian knew that he was unreasonable, so he talked nonsense and didn't intend to talk to him, while Sui Yi watched the conversation between the two, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "The matter of Nanming must be the king's You have to think it over carefully, the humble minister will not disturb the king, and leave first."

Baili Nian nodded, "You don't have to worry, I will make arrangements for this matter, keep an eye on Nanming's situation, and don't let this trouble get worse."

"Wei Chen understands."

Watching Sui Yi go, Baili Nian then turned to look at Sai Jian, waiting for him to explain why he was here.

Most of Sai Jian's anger just now dissipated. At this moment, facing Baili Nian's eyes, he subconsciously wanted to say something soft, but then he scolded himself.He thought to himself: I must be so lowly that I want to talk softly to this person who has lied to me.

Thinking of this, Sai Jian's face turned cold again, and he stared at Baili Nian, with an attitude of "you can just fight with me if you can".There were ripples in Baili's eyes, and he let out a light breath, and he opened his mouth first.

"The king came to Shuyue Pavilion, is there something important?"

Sai Jian really wanted to reply, "Can't you come if there is no urgent matter?", but he knew that he couldn't say such sour and ambiguous words to Baili Nian again.This kind of knowing also made him a little more irritable, and he sat down without saying a word.

Baili Nian sat with him with a rare good temper, waiting for him to speak.

After a long while, Sai Jian thought that he couldn't go on like this, and finally looked at Baili Nian with serious eyes.He asked, "Is Nanming's situation serious?"

"You should have heard what you said to Sui Yi just now. Nanming has been in chaos for more than a year, and if it doesn't fix it, it will really be a big mess." Baili Nian, who was waiting for Sai Jian to speak, said immediately.

"En." Sai Jian replied happily, then raised his eyes to look at Baili Nian, "Then what do you think?"

Baili Nian: "The purpose of inviting you to Dajiang this time is to discuss this matter. In Nanming's current situation, Qiang Zhu and Dajiang must send troops to quell the chaos. Either Nanming or Xizhao, There still needs to be divisional control.”

Baili Nian had long wanted to discuss this matter with Sai Jian, but Sai Jian's heart was never on it.He knew about Tao Yang's siege, Sai Jian would not forgive himself, and he did not rush to ask for anything, so the discussion was suppressed.Sai Jian pursed his lips. In fact, he also knew that the matter in the southern border could not be delayed any longer, but seeing Baili Nian, he didn't want to talk properly.

Sai Jian: "Aren't you full of abilities? Just talk about how to divide and control."

Baili Nian frowned slightly, obviously displeased with Sai Jian's tone, but he still opened his mouth: "Although Xizhao is not as rich as Nanming, it has not been through much war and is easy to control, and it is far away from Taoyang City. It is closer to the Qiangma grassland, so Xizhao is included in the boundary of Qiangma. The Nanming and the north are separated by a Baiji River. Although it is not considered a border, it is also close. It has lost the richness it had before, and it is not easy to control."

Baili Nian raised his eyes and glanced at Sai Jian, "I dare to accept Nanming and row into the territory of Dajiang. From this point of view, from Jiangyuan Pass to the east to the sea is Dajiang, and Jiangyuan Pass to the west The westernmost desert belongs to Qiang Zhuo. What do you think?"

This kind of division is not too much, Baili Nian is sincere.Ke Saijian raised his brows slightly, and turned his eyes to look at Baili Nian, "You've already thought about it, what do you want me to do in Dajiang? Isn't everything done according to your wishes?"

"I..." The hand hidden in the white satin cuff clenched slightly, "Then what is your idea? If there is a better idea, I will follow your idea."

"I didn't pay attention." Sai Jian said unceremoniously, as if he just couldn't get along with Baili Nian.

Baili Yan stared at Sai Jian for a long time, although there was still no expression on his face, but there was a coldness in his eyes, and he said after a long time: "Since your majesty hasn't thought about it yet, let's think about it slowly. Let’s discuss this matter after thinking it over. However, the situation in Nanming can’t wait, and we have to send troops together to calm down the northern border and control the division, and then we can talk about it later.”

"If Nanming enters the territory of Dajiang, then Nanming is Dajiang's place. Why did this king send troops to help you quell the chaos?"

Baili Nian originally wanted to stop mentioning this matter, but what Sai Jian added later made his face change.He was the one who disagreed with the division of Baili Nian, and now he is raising the issue of land settlement after the division. He is full of troubles for Baili Nian.

He stared fixedly at Sai Jian, and Sai Jian also raised his eyebrows at Baili Nian.Sai Jian could see a flash of displeasure in Baili Nian's eyes.He was waiting to get angry, and Sai Jian was interested to see how Baili Nian would get angry.How can this person who is always coaxed by him be angry with him now?

The air seemed to pause, and after a long time, Baili Nian finally spoke, "Let's talk about this later."

"Mo Ying, tell the kitchen to equip lunch, add a few more dishes, and King Qiang Zhuo will eat here." Baili Nian ordered calmly, and he turned his head and walked towards the inner room, leaving Saijian standing alone in the room. central.

He is angry?Sai Jian looked at Baili Nian's figure and pursed his lips, but instead of being as happy as expected.
