lonely king

When Baili Nian stepped into the attic, Yu Wenyang was drinking, and the jars rolled all over the ground, and there were some broken pieces of the jars. All the serving maids stood outside, weeping softly, not daring to come in, presumably because of Yuwenyang's temper Not good, or scare them.

Sui Yi sent Baili Nian in and left. Bei Yan's army had just captured Nanming, and there were still many things in the army waiting for Sui Yi to deal with. I'm afraid that rape | adultery and looting will definitely happen in the city. Fortunately, although Sui Yi is a rough man, he understands benevolence and justice, and he is much better than Yu Wenyang.

Baili Yan looked at Yu Wenyang who was slumped under the lamp, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he sat aside after all, and spoke first, but his tone was a little indifferent.

"I don't know what's important for General Yuwen?"

Yu Wenyang finally found Baili Nian. He slowly raised his head, threw the wine jar in his hand aside, and stretched out his hand to pull Baili Nian over. His lowered eyes were lifeless and hiccupped. "I heard... I heard that Mister Zhang You was intercepted for General Ben?"

Sui Yi had already informed Yu Wenyang of Baili Nian's whereabouts. Baili Nian guessed that Zhang You was going to Xizhao to help rescue the soldiers, so he went to stop him. He did not hide this from Sui Yi, and used the northwest wind to cross the river to attack Nanming The idea was also from Baili Nian, and Sui Yi told Yu Wenyang about it.

Baili Nian's expression was indifferent: "It's a little effort, the general doesn't need to take it to heart."

But Yu Wenyang burst out laughing suddenly, took Baili Niandao's hand, and rubbed it back and forth, "Sir, it's a magic machine of Nanlin. No one can match the ingenuity and ingenuity. How can I guess that Doctor Zhang You is going to the west?" Zhao moved to save the soldiers, and he can still intercept them, so... let this general take Nanming smoothly, Mr. Hiccup... Mr. is really wonderful... wonderful..."

After drinking too much wine, Yu Wenyang's speech was intermittent, full of alcohol, and all of it breathed on Baili Nian's face, Bai Li Nian frowned, his eyes were a little cold, and he shook off Yu Wenyang's hand.

"The general drank too much, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Baili Nian lifted his feet and walked out, but Yu Wenyang didn't intend to let him go, so he reached out and grabbed his wrist. The dizzy feeling just now disappeared suddenly, his eyes became sharper, and the hand holding Baili Nian was a little heavy. , extremely fair skin, printed with red marks.

"This general is going to kill Gongsun Zhi!" Yu Wenyang's tone was firm, without the smell of alcohol.

Baili Nian showed doubts on his face, he turned to look at Yu Wenyang, "Did you kill him?"

With Yu Wenyang's brutality, after he invaded Nanming, how could he keep Gongsun alive? What else does he care about now, only endless killings.

Mentioning this matter, Yu Wenyang also showed a stern face, "This general is going to kill him, and it was that trash Sui Yi who stopped this general!"

"General Sui can stop the general?" Baili Nian had a sneer on his lips, he didn't believe that Yu Wenyang would listen to Sui Yi's persuasion. Now, he can't listen to anyone and will only go his own way.

Yu Wenyang's eyes lowered, "I don't care about this general, but I can't bear the reputation of being violent."

I see.Baili Nian also understood in his heart that if it was because of Zhong Yan, Yu Wenyang would indeed be able to calm down a bit. He didn't want Zhong Yan to bear the reputation of violence, but he also didn't want Gongsun Zhi to live.

"What does the general want me to do?" Baili Nian asked softly.

Yu Wenyang's eyes flashed sharply, he suddenly stretched out his hand, raised Baili Nian's chin, and brushed his fingers across his jawline, looking at this handsome face that made people tranced, his eyes were deep, "Kill him! This general I want you to kill him, and kill him without being criticized by the world. Isn’t Mister full of tricks? This general believes that Mister can do it.”

He looked at Baili Nian with complicated eyes. Yu Wenyang knew that Baili Nian was very smart and that he could do it.Thinking back, since Baili Nian followed him into Beiyan, he has done a lot of things for him and contributed a lot of clever ideas, but for some reason, he has never really felt at ease since Baili Nian came to him. However, one bad thing after another, until now, his heart is ashamed.

Baili Nian naturally didn't know what Yu Wenyang was thinking, but his actions made him sullen, and he pushed Yu Wenyang's hand away, but he didn't refuse. "Okay, got it."

He never refused what Yu Wenyang asked him to do, and likewise, Baili Nian couldn't shake what Yu Wenyang didn't want to do. Li Nian's head also doesn't make sense.

Yu Wenyang was not angry because Baili Nian pushed him away, but picked up another glass of wine, and said softly:

"Let's do a fortune teller for this general, aren't you the magic machine of Nanlin who is famous all over the world for your clever calculations?"

Baili Nian raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, his tone was cold, "Didn't the general not believe in these tricks of the rivers and lakes? Do you believe it now?"

"This general doesn't know either, so you can count it as a divination. This general remembers that when you first came to Beiyan, you gave Beiyan a calculation for the king. Everyone in the world said it was effective, so let's do a calculation for this general today." Yu Wenyang's tone was a little sad, and now he has lost the arrogance he used to have, only slumped and heavy.

Baili Nian looked at Yu Wenyang in front of him, his eyes were a little dark, he lowered his eyes, did not speak, but took out the compass, and made a calculation for Yu Wenyang.

The hexagram is not good, it is a sign of a fiasco and severance. Baili Nian didn't say anything to Yu Wenyang, because Yu Wenyang was already hugging the wine jar and fell asleep beside him.

……

Coming out of the attic, Baili Nian's face was a little pale, maybe he smelled of alcohol, and he was also dizzy, Mo Yan waited at the door, when he saw Baili Nian coming out, he immediately stepped forward to support him.

"Master, are you okay?"

Baili Nian nodded, "No problem."

He looked back at the towering attic. If he remembered correctly, it was the Zhuming Pavilion. Three years ago, when he was a guest in Nanming, he lived here. Although Gongsun Zhi was wary of him, he still Treating each other with courtesy, Zhuming Pavilion is also a good place with greenery.

"Mo Yan, where is Gongsun Zhi imprisoned?"

Mo Yan had just come into contact with the informant who was placed in Nanming, so he naturally knew, "He is in the dungeon and has been imprisoned for several days. He fell into Yu Wenyang's hands, so he naturally suffered some torture."

Yu Wenyang is a person who marches on the battlefield, so the methods of dealing with captives are naturally many and vicious.

Baili pursed his lips, his eyes were indifferent, "Go and have a look."

But Mo Yan stopped him, "My lord, it's already late at night, and the dungeon is very damp and smelly, so I'd better go tomorrow, my lord."

"No, let's go tonight. It's an eventful autumn, so as not to cause long nights and dreams." Baili Nian's voice was a little gloomy.

……

It was only the end of July, but the weather had already cooled down. It may have been in June this year. After two dog days, the heat was already over, and it cooled down.It was the end of summer when the army went south with the army in early summer. The difference is that this year there has been a lot of rain, and the dungeon is even more humid.

Mo Yan was holding a lamp in front, Baili Nian was behind, and the two went into the dungeon.

Baili Nian wore a white robe, he likes white, white is like a pure white cloud that has not been stained by anything, but this white is particularly dazzling in the dark dungeon.There was a cool breeze outside, but the dungeon was full of humidity and heat.

Gongsun Zhi was imprisoned in the deepest part of the dungeon, where it was the darkest and most humid place. Gongsun Zhi, who was once ambitious for the world, sat on the straw. It was red and stained with blood and mud.Just looking at the numerous small wounds on his body, one can tell that he has suffered a lot.

In fact, it is not a sword in the heart that grinds people, but small blood-filled mouths all over the body. It is impossible to die, but every part is extremely painful.

Baili Nian raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Zhi in the dungeon. He had no hatred or sympathy, he just looked at it, as if looking at a painting that had nothing to do with him.Gongsun Zhi also saw Baili Nian, he stood up suddenly and brushed his messy hair.

"Baili Nian? Why are you!"

Baili Nian's expression was indifferent: "Are you surprised?"

Gongsun Zhi looked at Baili Nian in a daze, and suddenly laughed, "It's not surprising, it's not surprising."

"?" Baili Nian raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Zhi, but there was no eager questioning in his eyes.

But Gongsun Zhi said to himself, "Since Zhang You brought you into Nanming, this king has known that you are difficult to control. As expected, you have traveled around the world and behaved in a subtle way. You have never had good intentions towards Nanming. I, Nanming, are in such a state of decline, you must have helped me a lot."

Gongsun Zhi knew that when he went to Beiyan, Yu Wenyang marched and fought to defeat Nanming, and Baili Nian must also have a share of the credit.

Baili Nian's expression was indifferent, but he didn't refute. He looked at Gongsun Zhi, "I was the one who stopped Zhang You from going to Xizhao."

Gongsun Zhi: "!!!"

His eyes suddenly widened, and he grabbed the iron railing with both hands, "It's you!? It was you who stopped Zhang You and prevented him from coming back to see me! It was you, Zhang You, who regarded you as a good friend, in front of me! It's you who blocked him at such a critical moment, Baili Nian, don't you feel ashamed of him?"

In front of Gongsun Zhi, Zhang You did never mention Baili Nian from the beginning to the end.

His figure wrapped in a white robe was a little thin, and he lowered his eyes, "Yu You, I am ashamed of him." So he spared his life.

What about the world?Baili Nian didn't say anything, he didn't like to argue, and he didn't want to argue in front of Gongsun Zhi.But Gongsun Zhi didn't think so, he stared at Baili Nian fiercely, his eyes were full of hatred.

"You know how Zhang You treats you, but you deceive him. This king has reminded him many times to be careful of you, but he has never been unfriendly. What? Has there ever been a gentleman's righteousness!?"

Gongsun Zhi was very excited. He hated being deceived and calculated the most in his life. He suspected Zhongliang and calculated the world, but now he was calculated by Baili Nian. He felt very dissatisfied. Even if Yu Wenyang tortured him, he never had This kind of anger, but now, Baili Nian's two words provoked his anger.

He hates people who cheat and calculate most.

"How did you ever have the righteousness of a gentleman?" Baili Nian slowly raised his head, his eyes were cold.

The person who hates deceit and calculation the most is also the person who is the most deceitful and calculation.

Gongsun Zhi didn't understand what he meant, he frowned, "What do you mean, why did this king ever deceive you."

Baili Nian suddenly lowered his eyes and smiled, and raised his eyes again, but it was as cold as a deep pool. Gongsun Zhi had forgotten about the painful things he buried in his heart day and night, and Baili Nian thought it was a bit of a joke.

"Millions of lions, generals of fierce tigers, if you use one trick, you can break your heart."

In Baili Nian's voice, there was desolation, anger, and coldness that could not dissipate.This is a sentence that Gongsun Zhi once recited after he framed Jiang Huan.When Jiang Huan led an army of 50, it was because he mistrusted Gongsun Zhi that he fell into a corner and was besieged by the three vassal states. None of the 50 lions survived except Jiang Huan. This is Gongsun Zhi's benevolence and righteousness. .

Gongsun Zhi couldn't understand Baili Nian's words. It had been seven or eight years since the past, and the vanity of being a king made him gradually forget about it. When Baili Nian mentioned this, he thought for a long time before he remembered it. , his face changed color with anger, and he looked at Baili Nian with unbelievable eyes.

"You...you are Jiang's man!"

Gongsun Zhi really didn't expect that Baili Nian would be a member of the Great Jiang Kingdom, and now he was in a lot of panic. He took two steps back and said, "You are actually from the Great Jiang Kingdom? After all, Yeling was massacred, and even the people were divided among the Three Kingdoms. No one remembers Da Jiang for a long time. Who are you? When Da Jiang destroyed the country, you should have only been in your teens. How can you remember this! "

Even if Gongsun Zhi wanted to break his brain, he would never think that Baili Nian was Jiang Nian.

Gongsun Zhi's mood fluctuated and he was very excited, but Baili Nian in front of him was extremely calm. This was the first time in seven years that he talked about Jiang with related people. Baili Nian was calmer than he imagined, maybe it was a plot After seven or eight years, my heart has already become gray.

Baili Nian took out a bottle from his sleeve, a white jade porcelain bottle, translucent, pinched by Baili Nian's slender fingers, it was extraordinarily pure and beautiful, but it contained deadly poison.

"Yu Wenyang won't let you go. If you die sooner or later, you will die. You are the king of Nanming, so naturally you don't want to be humiliated."

The country is ruined and the family is destroyed. The former king is now in embarrassment. Only death can save him. This bottle of poison was left to himself by him, but he couldn't drink it seven years ago.

When Gongsun Zhi saw the bottle of poison, he understood what Baili Nian meant. He raised his eyes and looked at Baili Nian coldly, "Is it Yu Wenyang who wants my life, or you, the man of Jiang!?"

Baili Nian said indifferently: "It's Yu Wenyang."

Gongsun Zhi sneered: "Why do I think it's you?"

Baili Nian also smiled faintly, "You are not worth it, Nanming is dead, and whether you die or not has nothing to do with me. What is better than being alive, but I can only watch the world that once belonged to me fall apart and become others? What is more embarrassing than the land of the country?"

Baili Nian looked at Gongsun Zhi with unwavering indifference in his eyes, but such a peerless face spoke the most poisonous words.

"If it were me, I would save your life and let you see how Nanming is ruined and how the country is burned. You have been in power for ten years, and Nanming has fallen into the hands of others from a small border country to now. With Yu Wenyang's violence, How do you think he treats Nanming? The royal family officials should all die, or massacre the city or set fire to it, do you want to see with your own eyes the once prosperous royal city, with corpses all over the ground, blood flowing into rivers, and the sky full of rotten smell?"

Baili Nian chuckled, "No, you should have seen it before. Didn't you see Yeling seven years ago? The Nanming King City will also be like that."

Speaking of Yeling, Gongsun Zhi's face turned pale. How could he have never seen the hellish scene of Yeling? The impression of war and chaos left in his heart was indelible. snatched it.

"Baili Nian, don't you just want to drink? Why bother talking about this!?"

Baili Nian shook his head lightly, "You can choose to drink it or not. If you drink it, the news that King Nanming killed himself in the palace will spread all over the world tomorrow; if you don't drink it, you can stay in this dungeon. Imprisoned for decades, it may be like the sudden death of the old King Xi Zhao, or it may have been in this dungeon for a lifetime."

"Self-inflicted? Suicide?" Gongsun Zhi gritted his teeth, "Baili Nian, you are too poisonous!"

"It's up to you, you can do whatever you want."

Baili Nian raised his eyes and glanced at Gongsun Zhi, his eyes were indifferent, as if he was looking at ordinary decorations, and there was no disturbance in his heart. He turned his head and left the dungeon. As for whether Gongsun Zhi drank or not, it was up to him as he said. .

Gongsun Zhi looked at Baili Nian's back and clenched his fists tightly, but there was nothing he could do.In the troubled times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As a prisoner, what can he do?

Gongsun Zhi held the poison in his hand, smiled miserably, held his head up, and drank it all in one gulp. After ten years of vanity, the curtain finally came to an end. He couldn't blame others, and he couldn't bear to blame himself.
