lonely king

The handover letter of credence drafted by Baili Nian was delivered to Xizhao Yueying within a few days. The letter of credence was written by Baili Nian. .

Xizhao can unite with Qiangmao to make friends. If one day Xizhaozhen and Nanming start a war, Qiangmao is behind Xizhao. It is good to be able to help, even if it cannot help to ensure that there will be no troubles, it is good , the more you know this, and Xi Zhao and Qiang Zhuo have been fighting a little bit, and there is no enmity that cannot be resolved.

Now that Baili Nian came forward, Xizhao and Qiangma joined forces and made friends, which was beneficial to both Xizhao and Qiangmao.

The letter of credence sent from Qiangma to Xizhao returned within a few days.

Yue Ji wrote a letter of state with his own handwriting, and sent it to Qiang Zhuo, and Baili Nian first.

Baili Nian read the letter of credence, and he lowered his eyes slightly, "Are you sure it was handed over to you by Young Master Xizhao?"

Mo Yan nodded, "Yes, and the young master also asked his subordinates to bring a sentence to the master, if the master wants Qiang Zhu to be a guest of honor in Qiang Zhu, then he will ask the master to help Xizhao and Qiang Zhu join forces. Think about it."

"He asked you to send the credentials to me first?" Baili Nian raised his eyes with complicated eyes.

"Yes, Young Master Xizhao asked his subordinates to give the letter of credence to the Lord first."

Baili Nian looked at this letter of credence, and Yue Ji hadn't lost his mind on this matter. He not only took his own words to heart, but also turned around and gave himself a difficult problem.

Yue Ji is indeed not a person who can be easily manipulated, but he is also an interesting person, Baili Nian chuckled lightly.

"My lord, is there anything wrong with this credential?" Seeing that Baili Nian's expression was not right, Mo Yan asked.

"No, but it's also true, Yue Ming is a thoughtful person."

Thoughtful person?Mo Yan didn't understand Baili Nian's words, but in Mo Yan's heart, this Young Master Xizhao had the aura of a king in Sai Jian, if he was Young Master Xi Zhao, he would not want to be with such a reckless person as Sai Jian .

"Could it be that the young master Xizhao does not agree to the joint friendship?" All Mo Yan could imagine was such a possibility.

Baili Nian shook his head lightly, threw the national letter on the desk, his face was flat, "On the contrary, Yue Ji not only wants to unite with Qiang Zhu, but also wants to closely unite with Qiang Zhu. Train soldiers and horses in the territory of Zhuo."

This is written in Yue's book, and I hope that the king of Qiang can see the relationship between Qiang and Xizhao, and allow Xizhao's soldiers and horses to practice on the grassland of Qiang.

That is to say, only Yue Ming could think of such an idea.

"Practice soldiers and horses in the territory of Qiangma?" Mo Yan frowned, this is not a trivial matter, it is the most important thing related to one country's territory.

"What does the young master of Xizhao think? Why does he insist on training soldiers and horses in the territory of Qiangzhu? How could that person Saijian agree?" Mo Yan shook his head in confusion. He didn't understand, but Baili Nian understood. chest.

"Xizhao is not in the same place as Qiangzhao. There is no Cangyu Mountain in the way, and Xizhao borders Nanming to the east. Any actions made by Yuezhao in the territory will inevitably spread to Nanming. Nanming Wang Gongsunzhi realized that he would definitely go to war. However, if he was training soldiers and horses in the territory of Qiangma, and there was Cangyu Mountain in the way, and it was in the territory of Qiangma, the news would not spread to Nanming, let alone..."

Baili Nian looked at a painting on the desk, it was a painting he had made before, and it showed a pigeon with bright eyes and white feathers, "What's more, the carrier pigeons in Qiangzhu territory have been plucked, and the news from Cangyu Mountain is spreading even more. It’s not until Nanming.”

When I went to Xizhao a few days ago, Baili Nian saw the red-eyed carrier pigeon on the wall of the Xizhao Palace. He asked Yueying where the pigeon came from, and Yueming just glanced at the pigeon. His eyes were sullen, and he didn't answer Baili Nian's words.

It can be seen from this that Yue Ming knew that it was the bright-eyed carrier pigeon of Nanming Wang Gongsunzhi, and he didn't move the pigeon so as not to alarm Nanming. With Xizhao's current situation, he really couldn't compete with Nanming, so he should try his best to make plans again.

But Baili Nian wiped out Qiang Zhu's bright-eyed carrier pigeons, Yue Ming should have noticed this too.Baili Nian said that Yue Ming is a thoughtful person.

Mo Yan didn't think of this, he looked at Baili Nian, "Then...then, my lord, what should we do?"

Baili Nian shook his head slightly, "It's not ours, it's the king's. This letter of credence is given to the king, not me."

Baili Nian looked at the letter of credence on the desk, "Go and ask the king to come here."

Xi Zhao handed over the credentials to Qiang Zhu's union, so naturally Sai Jian had to read it.

……

At sunset, inside Wangshu Pavilion.

Baili Nian was sitting cross-legged on the dwarf by the east window, drinking Yehan tea, and Sai Jian was sitting opposite him. superior.

After reading the credential, Sai Jian casually threw it on the wooden table.

"I don't agree with this king! There are too many stinky problems about Yue Ji, I really think this king is a fool! Although he Xizhao didn't have many people, and his soldiers and horses didn't number in the tens of thousands, but they all entered my Qiangzhao territory , practice in my Qiangma territory, how can the people of this king feel at ease, no way!"

Sai Jian flatly refused, the matter of training soldiers and horses was not a simple matter, if he rashly allowed Xizhao soldiers and horses to enter Qiangma, how could the people of Qiangma live in peace after seeing so many soldiers and horses, Sai Jian was not wrong to be worried.

Baili Nian raised his eyes to look at Sai Jian, a little surprised, "I thought the king would first consider soldiers and horses occupying your hunting grounds, and not worry about the people."

Baili Nian didn't expect that Sai Jian could still think about the common people.

"Nian'er, you are making fun of this king. This king admits that he likes to hunt with martial arts, but he is also reckless, but this king is also the king of the Qiangzhu Kingdom, so why not think about the people at all?"

Baili Nian lowered his eyes and smiled, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's the grassroots who are ignorant."

"I'm not angry, it's better for Nian'er to make fun of me than to ignore me!" Sai Jian rushed to speak.

If Baili Nian complained that he was sick again and did not see him, Sai Jian would be angry and unhappy.

Baili Nian shook his head helplessly, Sai Jian, who was serious for a while, immediately became serious, making Baili Nian dumbfounded and helpless.

"Your Majesty, have you finished reading the credential?" Baili Nian picked up the credential that Sai Jian threw on the table. Sai Jian only said half of it, and there was another half of the content on top of the credential.

"It's over." Sai Jian replied without thinking.

"What about the marriage?" Baili Nian looked at Sai Jian.

In addition to the matter of training soldiers and horses, Yue Min also intends to marry Qiang Zhu, probably because he guessed that Sai Jian would not agree so easily, so he threw out the marriage. If the two countries marry, not only will the relationship be more The intimacy also shows Yue Ming's sincere heart to unite, and of course it is also for the training of soldiers and horses.

"Young Master Xizhao's sincere heart to unite is not empty talk. The young master wants to marry the princess of Xizhao, who is the young master's sister Yue Zhixin, to the king. If the king marries her, I, Qiang Zhu The queen is Princess Xizhao, and she is also the only direct princess of Xizhao, the strong alliance between Xizhao and Qiangzhao will bring no harm to Qiangzhao."

Baili Nian looked at Sai Jian, but Sai Jian kept curling his mouth, wondering what he was thinking, the king was always out of shape when he should be serious.

"Is Your Majesty listening?"

"Listen, listen, isn't it just a marriage? What's so good about Princess Xizhao? This king doesn't like that kid Yue Ji. How can a sister in the womb be any better? Don't want it!"

Sai Jian waved his hands hastily, with an irritable expression on his face, as if he was extremely unwilling to talk about this matter, Sai Jian has long been weak, and now he is in his twenties, he should have discussed it long ago, how could he be so repulsive about this matter.

Baili Nian added a cup of tea to Sai Jian, but with a calm expression, he said casually, "I heard that Princess Xizhao is more beautiful and beautiful, with a dignified character, and there are countless people who want to marry her. Why is your majesty not willing?"

"If you don't want to, you just don't want to!"

Sai Jian stood up suddenly, perhaps recklessly, and overturned the teacup on the table, spilling the tea all over the table.

The tea had just been filled with Baili Nian, and it was boiling hot, and the water splashed onto the back of Baili Nian's hands. He frowned slightly, and the scorching water dripped onto his fair and flawless skin, immediately turning into a red spot, which was very obvious .

Sai Jian also saw Baili Nian's hand suddenly retracted, and the red spot naturally caught his eyes.

"Nian'er, are you okay?" Sai Jian snatched Baili Nian's hand, looked back and forth, saw the red and swollen spots on the back of his hand, and immediately half-knelt on the ground, blowing cool air on the back of his hand.

Baili Nian wanted to pull back his hand, but he couldn't. Sai Jian was always very strong, if he didn't want to let go, how could Baili Nian break free.

"Does it hurt?" Sai Jian looked up at Baili Nian.

"No problem," Baili Nian looked at Sai Jian's posture, "It's okay for the king to kneel on the ground, I'm fine, the king doesn't need to worry about it."

Baili Nian withdrew his hand suddenly, there was no change in his expression, and Sai Jian couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, so he had to stand up, but Sai Jian's expression was never happy.

With a half sullen face, "I don't agree with the marriage."

"Understood." Baili replied without raising his head.

Sai Jian looked at Baili Nian and sighed, and half-kneeled on the ground again. He took Baili Nian's hand, "Nian'er! It's not that the king doesn't want to agree, but the king can't be alone when it comes to things like this. If it's up to people to decide, that Da Shu is the first one to jump out and confront this king, so let's not talk about whether the marriage with Xizhao will work or not?"

Sai Jian rubbed his fingers on the back of Baili Nian's hands, half coaxing, he couldn't see that Baili Nian was unhappy, but he didn't want to marry that Princess Xizhao from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't make any concessions on this matter.

"Okay, if the king doesn't want to refuse, then Young Master Xizhao will."

Baili Nian said calmly, there was no abnormal expression on his face, Sai Jian couldn't tell if he was unhappy, but he always felt that he was unhappy.

"Then the king refused Yue Ying?" Sai Jian asked tentatively.

Baili Nian nodded, picked up the letter of credence on the table and put it in Sai Jian's hands, "This is a matter between Qiangzhu and Xizhao. I am from another country, so it is inconvenient to interfere with the king. The king wants to I can do whatever I want, I just hope that the king and Xi Zhao will have a good relationship, as for how the king wants to make a good relationship, you can do it."

"Even if the king doesn't want to make friends with Xi Zhao, it's fine. If there is a war in the future, what will happen to Qiang Zhu's fate, I hope the king will think about it."

Baili Nian's expression was indifferent, this look very much like when he first came to Qiangzhu, he was like a fairy who didn't eat the fireworks of the world, and didn't care about everything in the world.

At first, Sai Jian was greedy for the appearance of him floating away from the world, but now he prefers the appearance of him planning for Qiang Zhuo. Is Baili Nian disappointed in himself now?

Sai Jian didn't want to see him not caring at all, and held Baili Nian's hand tightly, "I must think about it, Nian, don't do this, I didn't say that I would not unite with Xizhao, so I will write The Letter of Credence agrees that Xizhao will come to our Qiangzhu territory to train soldiers and horses, but this marriage... let's forget about the marriage."

"At the foot of Cangyu Mountain, there is a hunting ground next to Xizhao. It is far away from the people's residences and will not disturb the people. That hunting ground will be used for Xizhao to train soldiers and horses. This king asked Wei Yu to keep an eye on it. He should also come out. It's nothing to worry about, it's considered to be giving Xi Zhao an advantage, that kid Yue Ming must also remember the concession made by the king, and he won't be upset if he refuses the marriage. Nian'er..."

"How do you feel about this, Nian'er?"

Sai Jian sat next to Baili Nian and looked up at him with a clear look in his eyes, afraid that Baili Nian would be unhappy.Holding Baili Nian's shoulder halfway, Sai Jian always went his own way regardless of the face of others, and it was rare for him to face Baili Nian, showing the patience of a reckless man.

"The hunting ground under Cangyu Mountain?" Baili Nian thought about this place, "Is it the hunting ground that relies on the official road?"

"Yes, that's the hunting ground. That hunting ground is at the foot of Cangyu Mountain. An official road runs through it. It is blocked by the mountain, so that the soldiers and horses will not be blown by the wind."

After all, Sai Jian was good at martial arts and liked soldiers and horses. Even Xi Zhao's soldiers and horses felt sorry for him, so he deliberately found such a place where he could keep out the wind.

Baili Nian slightly raised his eyes and looked out of the window. He remembered the hunting ground, and it was on the edge of the hunting ground that Sai Jian captured him into Qiang Zhuo.

"I remember the king said a while ago that the official road was blocked, is it digging now?" Baili Nian asked.

"The short road past Cangyu Mountain is blocked. The official road passes through the mountain, and it is easy to be blocked. Now that the wind season is over, I haven't asked people to dig it yet. What if the rocks falling from the mountain hit me? The king's soldiers, this king must not die of love."

This is the truth of Sai Jian, Qiang Zhuo rarely communicates with the Central Plains, and merchants trade with the Central Plains is not frequent, the official road is blocked, it is nothing more than making it difficult for caravans to come and go, Qiang Zhuo does not rely on business contacts, but Wan Once he smashed Sai Jian's general, it was enough for him to feel distressed.

"If this hunting ground is given to Xi Zhao to train soldiers and horses, then the official road will not be dug for the time being." Baili Nian said.

Sai Jian nodded, "Okay, I don't want to excavate, I'll wait until the windy season is over."

Baili Nian shook his head, "Until Xizhao's soldiers and horses withdraw from Qiangzhu, there is no need to dig official roads."

"Why?" Sai Jian was puzzled.

"The official road is blocked, and Qiang Zhuo seems to be isolated from the world. The news could not be safer. Although several countries in the Central Plains have not noticed Qiang Zhuo yet, there is always nothing wrong with being careful. Young Master Xizhao dare not practice troops in his own territory Ma, it can be seen that the mind is tight, and I, Qiang Zhuo, naturally cannot make any mistakes."

To the east and north of Qiangma are the Cangyu Mountains, while to the west is the vast desert.Seeing this official way, apart from the neighboring Xizhao, isn't it really a place isolated from the world, Xizhao will never leak the news, and if there is a military training in Qiangma territory, it will never spread into the Central Plains.

Baili Nian was thinking about the affairs of the world, turned his eyes slightly, and saw Sai Jian, who was looking at himself with strange eyes, Baili Nian frowned, not knowing what he was doing.

"What is the king looking at?"

"I'm watching Nian'er."

Sai Jian raised his head and laughed suddenly, the smile was mixed with joy and complacency, it was inexplicable, Baili Nian didn't understand, his eyes were puzzled, and this doubt also fell into Sai Jian's eyes.

"The king is very happy. Just now I thought that Nian'er didn't care about me and Qiang Zhu, but now that you're planning for Qiang and this king, I know that Nian'er will not abandon me."

Sai Jian's laughter was mixed with complacency, as if he had come to an extremely extraordinary conclusion, his brows were raised with joy.

Baili Nian also laughed, but it was a helpless smile, he nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty is really smart."

"That's natural!"

Sai Jian was even more proud, he didn't see Baili Nian's helpless smile at all.
