lonely king

In the early morning of the second day, Yue Ming dressed up and saluted, and left Nanming early.

Before leaving, he left a letter to Baili Nian, expressing his anxiety about returning home and his apology for not being able to go with Baili Nian.

Baili Nian looked at the letter and shook his head lightly, Yue Ming was very smart in everything, except for the matter involving the old King Xi Zhao, without his sophistication.

Holding the letter, Baili Nian's eyes darkened, "Have you visited Hengyuan? People are still inside."

Mo Yan followed behind Baili Nian, "I went down to look at it last night. The old King Xizhao is still in the pile of cattle and sheep. Although he is living a wimpy life, his body is still strong."

Baili Nian nodded, "I entrusted you to do it, is it done?"

"My lord, my subordinates have never missed a shot." Mo Yan's eyes were like knives, with a hint of coldness in them.

"Very good." Baili Nian pursed his thin lips slightly, and the crescent-shaped scar under the corner of his eyes seemed to be even more blood red.

……

Qiang Zhuo is not eye-catching among many small countries. In people's perception, Qiang Zhuo is just a small country in the far western region. Zhang You acted as a mediator, and Gongsun Zhi didn't pay much attention to Qiang Zhu, so Baili Nian searched for a paradise.

It can be regarded as because of the previous friendship, he was a bit polite to Baili Nian, and there were many national gifts in return, and Zhang You personally gave Baili Nian away.

Zhang You didn't come back until Baili Nian left the Nanming King City.And in a gazebo outside the palace, someone was waiting for Baili Nian. This person was none other than Yu Wenyang, the general of Beiyan who had left Nanming Palace first.

Baili Nian's carriage stopped in front of the gazebo, which was located in the woods of a small mountain, Baili Nian was supported by Mo Yan, and entered the woods, he did not wear a veiled hat, still dressed in light white clothes, and appeared in front of Yu Wenyang .

Yu Wenyang raised his eyes and looked at Baili Nian who was walking over, his eyes were a bit dark, "I haven't seen Mr. Baili for more than half a year, but he is still dressed in white clothes like the first time I saw him, and he is charming."

The word "beautiful" is a bit heavy and a bit complicated, with a bit of teasing, a bit of ridicule, and a bit of emotion.

"General Yuwen is as straightforward as when we first met." Baili Niandu responded with a light smile.

"Why didn't Mr. Baili cover his face today? This general remembers that Mr. Baili likes to cover his face with a white gauze hat."

Yu Wenyang did not forget that when Baili Nian first arrived at the General's Mansion, he wore a veiled hat, and he also wore a veiled hat when he went to Beiyan Palace to present jade seals.He really wanted to think that he was a leisurely person living in seclusion in the mountains, but Baili Nian met him in Nanming as an envoy from another country.

"The general thought that Mr. Baili would never show his face to others and would never become an official, but now he thinks he was wrong. Mr. didn't stay in Beiyan back then, because he looked down on Beiyan!"

Yu Wenyang's words are a bit serious, he is always so merciless in dealing with people and things.

Baili Nian smiled lightly, and didn't take it seriously, "General Yuwen is willing to wait here today, is it just to ask me why he is not willing to stay in Beiyan after becoming a minister of Qiang Zhu?"

"The general is just asking casually. I don't want to chase after the past. I don't mean to question you!"

Yu Wenyang waved his sleeves and sat on the stone bench in the gazebo. His expression was not good. He felt a bit of resentment in his heart. He asked himself that he had tried everything to keep Baili Nian back then, but he insisted on leaving, which made him a little sad.

Baili Nian arched his hands, "If the matter of that day displeases the general, I will make an apology."

Yu Wenyang glanced at him, "Forget it! I'm not that stingy!"

Even though he said this, Yu Wenyang's face was full of stingy complaints, and Baili Nian smiled lightly, not talking about it, but asked a casual question.

"This time the Southern Ming heir celebration, why did King Beiyan send a general as an envoy? Couldn't the court officials come?"

Speaking of this matter, Yu Wenyang's face was even worse. He clenched his fists, "These old civil servants and old men are arguing in the court because of a small celebration of the birth of an heir in the Southern Ming Dynasty. None of them is willing to go. Your Majesty has no choice but to let me come."

"Didn't the old prime minister pull it out? Why is it still like this?" Baili Nian said softly.

Yu Wenyang sneered, "If the king is willing to listen to me and wipe out the prime minister's henchmen, there will be no trouble like this. I don't have the master's clever tricks, so I can't talk to the king."

As he spoke, he glanced at Baili Nian, his tone full of complaints, "If Mister was willing to stay in Beiyan at that time, it would definitely not be like this. This general really doesn't understand Mister. I ask myself why I treat you very well. Just don't want to stay with me?"

It doesn't matter if you stay in Beiyan Palace or the General's Mansion, Beiyan has many military generals, but very few civil servants, and is still a bunch of old men. Yu Wenyang never likes people who play tricks, and Baili Nian is the only one he admires. People, but this person is unwilling to stay by my side.

Baili Nian felt a little helpless, "Didn't the general just say that he didn't come to question me? Why are they all questioning me at this time?"

Yu Wenyang glared at Baili Nian, and snorted coldly, "You are still so eloquent!"

Baili Nian smiled faintly, his face was extremely charming, "When I was in Beiyan, the general treated me like a distinguished guest. I also understood in my heart that I also regarded the general as a good friend. It's just that everyone has their own aspirations. I hope that in the future I will ask for the general At that time, the general can still think of the past friendship."

Yu Wenyang looked at Baili Nian, and didn't quite understand what he meant, but he was straightforward, "If you need help from the general, the general will never let me go. The matter of the old prime minister is thanks to the master's plan, and I will not forget it." .”

"Then I would like to thank the general. If there is a war in the world in the future, maybe I will ask the general for help." Baili Nian murmured.

Yu Wenyang didn't take it seriously, "The world has been in chaos for so many years, and it's not so easy to start a war, so don't worry too much, sir."

Baili Nian raised his eyes and looked at the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. The hills outside the Nanming King's City were particularly beautiful. Looking down from the pavilion, he could have a panoramic view of the bustling King's City.

"Who can predict what's going on in the world? Maybe this beautiful landscape will be caught in the flames of war one day."

The coldness in Baili Nian's eyes is incompatible with this beautiful mountain and river.

The beautiful mountains and rivers and the prosperous royal city of Nanming might have ignited the flames of war?

Yu Wenyang raised his eyes and glanced at Baili Nian. He felt that what he said was out of place, but he didn't think too much about it. He just sighed, but it didn't take long before the words came true.

And none of what Baili Nian said to him today was random, and he fully responded to it, but it was something later. Yu Wenyang didn't notice it today, nor did he notice Baili Nian today, who was extremely cold. Cool.
