lonely king

"Wei Yu, you said Nian'er, what happened today?"

After leaving Wangshu Pavilion, Sai Jian was still frowning. He really couldn't figure out Baili Nian's attitude today, his mood fluctuated sometimes, and he was very indifferent at other times.

"This, my subordinates don't know either. Mr. Baili never shows his face, and my subordinates are also confused about what happened today."

Wei Yu was telling the truth, he really couldn't guess Baili Nian's thoughts, he frowned and thought about it, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, yesterday, following your order, I came to deliver things to Wangshu Pavilion, and saw Mr. His confidant Mo Yan, dressed in black, left the palace overnight, and his subordinates paid attention to him, and chased him out to take a look, and Mo Yan went straight to the official road at the foot of Cangyu Mountain, so he must have gone to the Central Plains."

"To the Central Plains?" Sai Jian frowned, "Didn't Nian'er just come back from the Central Plains? What are you sending someone to the Central Plains for?"

Mo Yan is Baili Nian's confidant, and he didn't see this confidant in Wangshu Pavilion today. It turned out that he went to the Central Plains, but since returning from Nanming, he always felt that something was wrong with Baili Nian, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. wrong.

"Wei Yu, before going to Nanming, Nian'er met someone, did anything special happen?" Sai Jian asked Wei Yu.

Wei Yu lowered his head and thought about it for a while, then suddenly raised his head, "This subordinate remembered that after Chao He left Nanming, Mr. Baili went to meet the envoy of Beiyan Kingdom, Yu Wenyang, the general who protects the country of Beiyan, and made a special appointment Negotiating in the gazebo outside the Nanming King City, the two seem to be very familiar with each other."

"Bei Yan?"

"Yu Wenyang?"

"What is this and what?! Why is Beiyan country involved again!"

Sai Jian frowned, he was getting more and more unaware of Baili Nian, before he only thought that he was traveling around the world, reading poetry and books, was a refined person, but now he didn't understand what he did.

"What did Nian'er talk about with that general of Beiyan Kingdom?" Sai Jian asked Wei Yu a little irritably.

Wei Yu looked distressed, "Your Majesty, my subordinates were guarding the carriage at that time, and did not follow Mr. Baili into the gazebo, nor did I hear what they talked about."

"You are a waste! You won't eavesdrop!"

Sai Jian raised his arm and gave Wei Yu a fist, "Why don't you use your brain!"

Wei Yu scratched his head and felt aggrieved for a while, "Your Majesty, Mr. Baili asked his subordinates to guard the carriage. How dare you move, otherwise you will teach your subordinates again and make Mr. Baili unhappy."

"It makes sense for you to be stupid!" Sai Jian took a breath and closed his eyes, "Why did the king send such a brainless person to protect Nian'er?"

Sai Jian flung his sleeves and left, leaving Wei Yu still scratching his head. In fact, he didn't blame Wei Yu for his brains at all, but Sai Jian was too impolite, and he could tell such a thing by eavesdropping.

But after walking a dozen steps, Sai Jian turned his head and glanced at Wangshu Pavilion, feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart. He began to wonder who Baili Nian was, was he really just an idler who lived in seclusion in the mountains?

But he has always been inextricably linked with the powerful countries in this world.

……

The news that the old King Xizhao was poisoned reached Xizhaoyue's ears. He heard the news from the thread and smashed the teacup in his hand.

"Before, Nanming said that he died of an illness, but as expected, he was killed!"

Regarding the death of King Xizhao, Yue Wei sent people to Nanming early in the morning, but the people who went there couldn't even enter Hengyuan, so they were sent back by Gongsun Zhi, the king of Nanming, with the reason that King Xizhao was dead. Suffering from an epidemic, I am afraid of contagion, and it is clearly deliberate!

"Your Majesty, calm down a little bit. This matter is strange. The death of the father cannot be concluded so quickly." Yue Zhixin also frowned, but she was a little calmer than Yue Ming.

"Now there is nothing that can't be concluded! This king went to Nanming to pay homage to Gongsun Zhi. He only hoped to see his father. Gongsun Zhi, a suspicious villain, refused in every possible way! He also humiliated his father!"

Yue Ming clenched his fists, "In the battle of Yeling, it was obviously his Gongsun Zhi who broke his promise. Before the Three Kingdoms attacked the Great Jiang Kingdom, there was an agreement between gentlemen. Whoever enters Yeling first will occupy Yeling and establish the country first. However, Gongsun Zhi and The old Beiyan king acted together, besieged his father and Xizhao's troops in Yeling, killed all of Xizhao's 40 troops, and captured his father."

"This king has been unable to get out of this tone! What is even more hateful is that now, the father died tragically in Nanming! New hatred and old hatred, I am the son of Xizhao, the king of Xizhao, how can I swallow this breath! How can I not give to my subjects and common people? , an account of the ancient history!"

Yue Wei's complexion was extremely bad, these words had been hidden in his heart since he was a child, he was young and his mind was not small, how could he forget such an insult.All these years, he was willing to obey Gongsun Zhizhi's words, just for the safety of his father, now, he still has nothing to worry about.

Yue Zhixin also sighed, and she looked at her brother, "I have seen the king's forbearance and suffering all these years, the king avenged his father, and he was proud of Xi Zhao, I I also know it well, and I also understand that a battle with Nanming is inevitable."

"I only hate that my elder sister is only a daughter, that I can't fight the same battle with the king, that I can't contribute my own strength to Xizhao, and that my mind is short-sighted, that I can't contribute clever ideas to the king."

Yue Zhixin pursed her lips tightly, the old King Xizhao was her biological father, she was a compatriot with Yueying's mother, and as the eldest princess of Xizhao, she also had the ambition to fight for Xizhao's honor in her heart, and she was as ambitious as a man.

"Elder Sister, what are you talking about? This king was 12 years old when he was in charge of Xizhao, and it was Eldest Sister who supported him. Without Elder Sister, Yueying would not be where it is today. Thanks to Elder Sister's concern over the years."

Yue Wei looked at Yue Zhixin, the eldest sister was three years older than him, she was calm and careful, if there was no Yue Zhixin's guidance these years, the prince Yue Zhi would not be able to control Chao Gang at all, and now his father passed away , the royal family was originally lonely, and only he and Yue Zhixin were left.

"If you have someone available in your hands, I don't have to worry so much. The king is young, and sometimes it is inevitable to be impulsive. I also hope that the king will think more about things in the future, and don't be arrogant."

Yue Zhixin looked at Yue Ming, this younger brother has grown into an adult with great ambitions, and as the elder sister, he is gratified and full of emotion.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter that fell through the west window."

At this moment, a eunuch knocked on the door and entered the study room, presenting a letter to Yue Ming, who restrained his melancholy thoughts, and took the letter. This letter was exactly the letter Baili Nian sent to Xi Zhao.

"Baili Nian?" Xianyue read the signature of the letter, read it casually, and then finished reading the whole letter.

When Yue Zhixin heard the word "Baili Nian", he frowned, and knew that this letter was written by Bai Li Nian to Yue Ming. At this delicate time, what would he have to tell Yue Ming?

"Your Majesty, what is Mr. Baili talking about?"

After reading the letter, Yue Ming showed joy, and the corners of his mouth turned up, "Mr. Baili is indeed my king's lucky star. This king is really hesitant. If it is the best time to send troops to Nanming at this time, it seems that it is not right now." Taking advantage of the turmoil of the people, the soldiers hate Nanming to the bone, when will we wait!"

In Baili Nian's letter, he pointed out the disadvantages of the current situation, analyzed the situation in the world, stated that this is the best time to send troops to the Southern Ming Dynasty, and said that Qiang Zhuo would do his best to help.

"Mr. Baili said this is a good time to send troops?" Yue Zhixin asked Yue Wei.

Yue Ming nodded, "Mr. Baili not only stated that the time is ripe, but also said that Qiang Zhu will help him with all his strength, and he has already discussed with Bei Yan's General Yu Wenyang. If someone sends troops to Nanming in the future, Bei Yan will definitely help a handful!"

"Beiyan and Nanming have always been at odds. If Xizhao sends troops to Nanming, Beiyan will definitely come to meddle. This is not a lie, but Qiang Zhu has always been indifferent to the world. If he sends troops to Nanming, Saijian will send troops to help Xizhao. Is it?"

Yue Zhixin shook her head slightly, she couldn't believe this magic trick, so what's the benefit of Qiang Zhu helping Xi Zhao?

Yue Ming didn't take it seriously, "Elder Sister, the northern and eastern sides of Qiangzhao are surrounded by the Cangyu Mountains, half-surrounded by the mountains, and the west is a desolate desert. Only the south is bordered by our Xizhao. Sai Jian couldn't see it, but Baili Nian must also understand that if he wants to protect Qiang Zhu, he must go in and out with me, Xi Zhao."

"Your Majesty is right," Yue Zhixin nodded, "Maybe I was worrying too much."

Looking at the letter written by Baili Nian on the desk, Yue Zhixin always felt that something was wrong.

Yue Ming looked full of arrogance, and he turned his head to look at the east, "Eldest sister, this king will definitely take back the glory that belongs to us for the royal family of Yue and Xi Zhao!"

Yue Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then tears filled her eyes, the king was always the king of Xizhao, this heroic ambition made her understand that Yue Wei was not just her brother, but the king of Xizhao.

"The elder sister only hopes that the king will return in triumph, and she will be ashamed!"
