lonely king

Nanming King's Palace, in the study.

Prince Sunzhi of Nanming was sitting at the desk by the window, reading the memorial. Opposite him was a man, Zhang You, a doctor of the Nanming Kingdom.

Dr. Zhang Youzhang is probably the only person who can sit with the king in the whole Nanming territory.

A white pigeon landed on the window, and the pigeon landed beside Gongsun Zhi, with a red string wrapped around the pigeon's leg.

Gongsun Zhi untied the red rope, and took out a small white juan inside, with a few lines of writing on it.

"Baili Nian went to Cangyu Mountain?"

Gongsun Zhi frowned slightly. This is the informant he dialed. After Baili Nian left Nanming Kingdom, he was worried about Baili Nian, so he sent someone to follow Baili Nian, wanting to see where Baili Nian was going. Sure enough, he didn't go back to Nanlin, but went to Cangyu Mountain unexpectedly.

Zhang You on the opposite side raised his head, and he looked at Gongsun Zhi who was holding Bai Juan.

"Mr. Baili went to Cangyu Mountain?"

"Well, the informant said that he went to Cangyu Mountain, but the other side of Cangyu Mountain is a barren land, what is Baili Nian doing there?"

Gongsun Zhi conveniently sent Bai Juan to the candlestick, Bai Juan lit it, and after a while it turned into ashes and fell on the corner of the table.

Gongsun Zhi always read the letters from informants and burned them immediately. Even Zhang You had never met Bai Juan, who was Gongsun's informant.

"Cangyu Mountain is in the northwest, and there is a boundless desert to the west of Cangyu Mountain. Maybe Mr. Baili yearns for the desert style. It is possible to play for a few days. When Wei Chen and Mr. Baili met for the first time, I heard that Mr. Baili said, He likes to visit places."

Going to see the scenery of deserts and other places is an elegant thing that literati love to do.

Zhang You didn't take Baili Nian's whereabouts to heart. In his heart, Baili Nian's fairy trail was naturally a tour of the world's rivers and mountains, and a taste of the scenery, humanities and customs of various places.

"Is there anything next to Cangyu Mountain? Apart from a few small tribes of Human tribes, there is also... Xizhao Kingdom?"

Gongsun Zhi frowned slightly, did Baili Nian go to Cangyu Mountain have anything to do with Xizhao Kingdom?

For some reason, he always felt that Baili Nian was not as simple as Zhang You said. The number one machine in the world was regarded as a Nanlin magic machine. Could it be that he was really a peerless person who had no desires and no desires? ?

Gongsun Zhi is suspicious by nature, and he has too many doubts about Baili Nian.

"Xizhao Kingdom? The Xizhao Kingdom that surrendered to me in Nanming six years ago?" Zhang You looked up at Gongsun Zhi.

"Well, Xizhao Kingdom is nothing more than my Nanming's subordinate country now."

Gongsun Zhi raised his brows, full of arrogance, in today's world, who would dare to look down on him, Gongsun Zhi, and Nanming Kingdom!

"By the way, what happened to Lord Xizhao in Hengyuan? I haven't seen him for two years."

Zhang You put down the brush in his hand, lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

"During the ceremony last month, I went to Hengyuan. The Lord of Xizhao has already mixed with the cattle and sheep there, and has long lost the arrogance of the past."

In the battle of Yeling, the Northern Yan Kingdom and the Nanming Kingdom surrounded the Xizhao Kingdom in the Yeling King City, which was just inside the King City that had just been destroyed by the Great Jiang Dynasty. All souls were killed in Yeling, and all the prisoners were beheaded. Yeling's blood flowed into rivers, and his bones became mountains.

Xizhao's army was led by King Xizhao himself, and he was captured by Nanming King Gongsun Zhi and imprisoned in Nanming.In the first battle that year, only the young master of Xizhao Kingdom who stayed in the royal city escaped.

After the defeat, the whole country of Xizhao State surrendered and became a subsidiary state of Nanming, while King Xizhao was imprisoned by Gongsun Zhi in the Hengyuan next to the palace. The Hengyuan was originally the place where Gongsun Zhizhi kept his war horses, and they dispersed after the war stopped. Raising cattle, sheep and horses became the place where King Xizhao was imprisoned.

He has been imprisoned for six years, and Xizhao Kingdom is supervised by the young master.

"What's the name of Xizhao's young master?"

Gongsun Zhi twirled his pen, suddenly thinking of the young master of Xizhao Jianguo.

While grinding Gongsun Zhi, Zhang You said, "Yue Wei, the young master of Xizhao is named Yue Ming. He has not yet reached the age of weak crown, and he is an eighteen-year-old young man. But he has taken over Xi Zhao at the age of 12, although there is nothing wrong with him. For great achievements, the territory of Xizhao is well-managed, and it can be regarded as young and mature."

Gongsun Zhi raised his brows, "Yue Wei already has it? There's not much action in Xizhao, right?"

Zhang You shook his head, "That's not true. The Xizhao Kingdom still pays tribute like in previous years. This year's spring, the Xizhao Kingdom is a bumper year, and the tribute sent is [-]% more than before, and the grain is [-]% more. Yue Wei can be regarded as respectful. King Xizhao still pays tribute. In our territory of Nanming, Yue Ji will not do anything, not to mention how the current Xizhao can provoke my Nanming, the difference between the two, I believe Yue Ji knows it well."

The king father restrained Yue Ming, he believed that he would not have any dissent, and Xizhao Kingdom did not have the force to contend with Nanming.

Gongsun Zhi nodded. Although what Zhang You said was reasonable, Gongsun Zhi, who was always suspicious, was still a little worried.

"When a child grows up, he will have more thoughts. It may be more troublesome than before. You should pay more attention."

"Yes, I will arrange a few eyeliners to stare at Xi Zhao." Zhang You said.

Gongsun Zhi smiled slightly, and raised his eyes to look at Zhang You.

"My lord can rest assured that Aiqing is doing things, Aiqing is deeply in my heart."

Zhang You frowned, and looked at Gongsun Zhi in surprise, "Oh, my Majesty, this time I didn't make fun of my minister, I am really flattered!"

Seeing Zhang You like this, Gongsun Zhi couldn't laugh or cry, Zhang You was just weak, and still had a youthful look, Gongsun Zhi pursed his lips.

"What did Zhang Aiqing say, I don't remember this king, what did I say about Zhang Aiqing?"

Zhang You laughed, and saluted Gongsun Zhi respectfully, bowing with both hands.

"Yes, the minister made a mistake in his memory, what the king said is true."

"You." Gongsun Zhi shook his head.

Only the young and arrogant doctor Zhang could be so rude, but Gongsun Zhi also took a fancy to his unscrupulous arrogance, so he kept him by his side.

……

Inside the Wangshu Pavilion in Qiangma Kingdom.

Baili Nian was standing at the head of the attic, under the east window.This is the highest place in Qiangzhu Palace. To the east, you can see Cangyu Mountain. Baili Nian picked up the brush, dipped some green ink on it, and put it on the rice paper on the desk. With just a few strokes, the outline of a mountain was outlined.

In the night, a black shadow slipped into the attic from the east window, so fast that no trace could be detected. The black shadow appeared beside Baili Nian, and after a closer look, he found that the black shadow was Mo Yan.

Mo Yan knelt at Baili Nian's feet, "My lord, the problem has been resolved."

Still holding the brush, Baili Nian hummed.

"Are you from King Nanming?" Baili Nian glanced at Mo Yan.

"Your Majesty's guess is correct. The person who follows you is the informant of Nanming Wang Gongsunzhi."

"King Nanming is indeed suspicious by nature."

Baili Nian raised his eyes. He did not misread the nature of Nanming Wang Gongsunzhi. After Gongsunzhi became suspicious of him, it was impossible for him to let himself go away so cleanly.

After arriving in the Qiangzhu Kingdom, Baili Nian had already noticed that someone was following them, but he was too weak and had no energy to take care of them in the past few days, so he asked Mo Yan to check it out for a few days, and there were indeed some informants from Gongsun Zhi Very capable, to be able to follow him for so many days.

"It's cleared up?" Baili Nian was stained with ink again.

Mo Yan raised his head, "The hands that moved at the foot of the mountain, including the corpse, will be removed, and no trace will be left in the Qiangzhu Kingdom. Don't worry, my lord."

"Ah, very good."

"There is also the messenger pigeon of the informant. I kept one. The letter on the pigeon was passed on to King Nanming by the informant."

Mo Yan took out a white carrier pigeon and took a look at Baili Nian. This kind of carrier pigeon Baili Nian was no stranger to him. These were a group of carrier pigeons specially raised by Gongsun Zhi. When Baili Nian was in Beiyan Kingdom , Gongsun Zhi used this kind of carrier pigeon to send him a message.

This homing pigeon is strange to say, it needs to be reared and domesticated by a person who knows the language of birds, and wherever the breeder lets it fly, it will fly there.

Baili took over the carrier pigeon from Mo Yan's hand, and pulled out the creed tied to his foot. On the creed was the news that he had entered the Qiang Zhu Kingdom. King Nanming really cared about his whereabouts.

But the message didn't get through.

"Nan Ming Wang's carrier pigeons are too noisy, I don't like it."

Baili Nian looked at the carrier pigeon in his hand. This carrier pigeon has conveyed a lot of information to Gongsun Zhi, and it is an important part of Gongsun Zhi's huge information network. If the carrier pigeon does not exist, what will happen to Gongsun Zhi's information network?

"What does the lord mean?" Mo Yan was a little confused.

"There is more than one person in the world who understands bird language, and it's not just in the southern border. Go and find out."

"My lord wants to find someone who understands bird language?"

Baili Cuan stroked the pure white feathers of the carrier pigeon, "If you find a person who understands the bird language, and raise and domesticate the carrier pigeon, Mo Yan, tell me, who will the carrier pigeon listen to?" Baili turned his eyes and looked at Mo submerged.

Mo Yan was slightly taken aback, "This... this is unknown."

"I'd like to see what it's like."

Baili Nian looked at the carrier pigeon and murmured.
