lonely king

The wind was a bit strong, and the window of Zhuming Pavilion was blown violently, which probably disturbed the wild swallows living by the bed. The wild swallows flew into the room and broke the teacup on the table. The painting on the table, a landscape painting just completed, was completely torn.Baili Nian frowned, and put down the Vermilion Bird Pen.

Mo Yan hurriedly drove the wild swallow out, and hurriedly tidied up the paintings on the table, but Baili Nian waved his hand, "Throw away this painting."

The tea has soaked a large area, and it can't be kept.

Mo Yan glanced out of the window and frowned, "The wind seems to be particularly strong today."

Baili Nian also glanced out of the window, thinking thoughtfully, "Hasn't anything happened in Nanming these days?"

"No," Mo Yan replied: "General Sui listened to Mr. and opened Nanming's granary. With the grain and grass, those Beiyan soldiers would not go around to harass the people. Yu Wenyang is still the same, drinking and drinking with Nanming every day. The concubine is making a fuss, and she doesn't say anything about governing Nanming, and she doesn't mean to return to the court as a teacher."

Mo Yan frowned, a little puzzled, "Why doesn't Yu Wenyang want to go back to Beiyan?"

Baili Nian lowered his eyes, his expression was indifferent, of course he understood Yu Wenyang's thoughts, "What is left of Beiyan now? Although the people seem to be happy and no one dares to move, but Zhongyan is dead, and the civil and military officials in the court, who would dare?" Those who disobey Yu Wenyang are just trying to make do without causing trouble, if it weren't for Yu Wenyang's army, Beiyan would have been annexed by the surrounding area long ago."

Baili Nian's tone was indifferent and cold, "What can he do when he goes back? To look into everyone's fearful eyes and remind him that Zhong Yan died because of him, or to go directly to Zhong Yan's coffin? Of course he doesn't want to go back. "

Yu Wenyang didn't want to face this, so he naturally didn't want to go back to Beiyan. He spread his grievances on the servants of Zangshuge and Nanming, but Yuwenyang himself knew that if he hadn't pushed back that day With Zhong Yan, it wouldn't be like this.

Speaking of Bei Yan, Baili Nian suddenly remembered something, he looked at Mo Yan, "By the way, did the investigation find out anything about Zhong Yan's death?"

Zhongyan died strangely. Although Baili Nian poisoned him, he even thought about killing Zhongyan, but someone got ahead of him. People who can kill people under Baili Nian's nose are definitely not alone. Simple people, how could Baili Nian let such a person make trouble for him.

Mo Yan was a little bit hard to speak, he turned around and knelt on the ground, blaming himself very much, he was incompetent in this matter, and he has not been able to investigate it now.

"Returning to the Lord, the subordinates are incompetent and failed to investigate, and... a message came from Beiyan last night." Mo Yan looked at Baili Nian, unable to speak.

Seeing Mo Yan's unspeakable appearance, Baili Nian frowned, "What news?"

Mo Yan bit his lips, "Last night, Mo Ying came to Nanming personally to spread the news that King Beiyan... King Beiyan has disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Baili Nian's complexion changed, and his eyes darkened a bit, "What does it mean to disappear? Zhongyan is lying in a coffin, can he disappear?"

Mo Yan was also very entangled, "This is something that my subordinates can't figure out. King Beiyan was put in that ice coffin and hid in the cellar. Because of the negligence last time, the subordinates also sent more people before going south. Don't worry." It is said that it is the cellar, that is, the entire Zangshu Pavilion is our people. Mo Ying led people to watch day and night, but suddenly, the body disappeared and no trace could be found. Mo Ying searched the entire Beiyan Palace, but found nothing. can be found."

Zhong Yan's body disappeared, disappeared right under his nose.

Baili Nian lowered his eyes and stroked the rim of the teacup with his fingers. To be able to take away the corpse under Mo Ying's hands, both martial arts and familiarity with Beiyan Palace must be extremely high.Who is it? How could Baili Nian not be able to figure out the existence of such a person.

"Has the news reached Yu Wenyang's ears?" Baili Nian asked Mo Yan again.

Mo Yan shook his head, "No, the Beiyan Library is ours. Mo Ying suppressed the news before coming here, and came here to report to the Lord and obey the Lord's arrangement."

Baili Nian nodded, somewhat satisfied, "Very well, tell Mo Ying to go back, continue to suppress the news, and must find out this person who makes things happen, we can't be taken away."

Things beyond the control must be eliminated. It is impossible for Baili Nian to keep people who destroy the chess game.This world is his chess game, and he can't move it to others, and the road has come to the present, and there can't be any difference.

"This subordinate understands, and will immediately notify Mo Ying to let her return to Beiyan." Mo Yan said.

Baililian nodded, and he looked out of the window again, thoughtful, Nanming might not be able to stay longer, there are so many things going on in all directions.Baili Nian also told Mo Yan, "Now is the time when the world is in chaos, and there may be changes in all parts of the world. Let the people under your command keep an eye on it. No matter where there is news of heresy, I will know immediately."

Mo Yan scratched his head, he knew it was Baili Nian's warning to report to him as soon as he had any news, but Mo Ying came last night, but he delayed reporting until now, and Mo Yan couldn't blame him, he was a little embarrassed to say it.

"What's the matter?" Baili Nian glanced at him, a little displeased with Mo Yan's hesitation.

Mo Yan lowered his head, "This subordinate was supposed to come to report to the Lord last night, but last night King Qiang Zhu was there, so this subordinate did not come in."

Baili Nian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Mo Yan to say this, he lowered his eyes, and after a strange look in his eyes, he recovered his indifference, and didn't continue this topic. Speaking of Sai Jian, he stayed in Nanming for a few days , and Sai Jian was not in Zhuming Pavilion at this time.

Baili Nian: "Where did King Qiangma go?"

Mo Yan replied: "It seems to have gone... to Yeling."

"Where did he go?" Baili Nian pursed his thin lips. Yeling was a place Baili Nian would never mention. He missed the scenery of Yeling, every palace and pavilion in Yeling, and the place where he once lived. He missed the people who used to live there, but he also didn't want to see the ruins of Yeling. The last time he saw it, he was exhausted physically and mentally.

Mo Yan shook his head, he didn't know, "I don't know what kind of subordinate King Qiangma is going to do, but Wei Yu once came to find his subordinates and asked me to take him to buy a lot of yellow paper money and take them to Yeling .”

The yellow paper money was used to go to the grave, what did Sai Jian use those money to go to Yeling?Baili Nian frowned, Sai Jian's actions were always unreasonable and not in accordance with etiquette, he is a king of Qiang Zhuo, what if he worshiped the dead soul of Jiang Jiang?Baili Nian had a displeased expression.

"Go ahead, leave him alone, go and tell Mo Ying about Beiyan." Baili Nian finally said this to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan nodded and took the order to go out, but just as he reached the door, Baili Nian stopped him again.

Baili Nian: "Mo Yan, what month is it today?"

"August [-]th, today is the cold dew solar term." Mo Yan blurted out, but after saying that, Mo Yan seemed to think of something, and his face became gloomy.

On August [-]th, it was the cold dew season. Eight years ago today, the city of Yeling was destroyed, and millions of troops from the three major vassal states rushed into the royal city of Yeling, and bloodbathed Yeling.At sunset, the Dajiang Palace was breached, the magnificent palace was robbed by the army of the Three Kingdoms, and the people in the Baiguan palace died tragically.At the time of Hai, a fire started from the main hall of the palace, and burned the entire palace that night, and burned the Yeling Mausoleum the next morning. The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the prosperous Yeling Mausoleum was reduced to ashes.

Baili Nian lowered his eyes, his eyes were dark, and endless melancholy overflowed his eyes, "It's been eight years, today it's been eight years."

……

In the evening, Mo Yan put a fluffy white cloak on Baili Nian. It was cold in autumn, especially before nightfall. There was a bit of coldness, and he was accidentally blown by the wind.At sunset, the wind seemed to be a little stronger, and Mo Yan put a curtain hat on Baili Nian.

"Master, do you have to go?" Mo Yan frowned, he didn't want Baili Nian to go to Yeling, although this place is close to Yeling, but the last time he came back from Yeling, Baili Nian fell ill. Now I'm afraid that I'm going to get sick again, and it's extremely difficult to be sick in this season.

Baili Nian lowered his eyes and let out a long breath, "I haven't been to worship for eight years, and now people are close to Yeling, and Sai Jian has gone, how can I not go to see it?"

But Mo Yan disagreed with Baili Nian's statement, "King Qiang Zhuo is an idiot, why should the Lord be like him."

Baili Nian smiled, but said nothing.

Mo Yan looked at Baili Nian in front of him, straightened the towel for him, and murmured: "My lord is much softer than before."

If before, the people under his command were not doing well, he would cut off his hands and feet, but when Mo Ying came to report about Bei Yan, Baili Nian just asked her to go back and stare at her instead of punishing her. Don't say that Mo Ying was very surprised, Mo Yan Also a bit puzzled, but at this time, Baili Nian's gentle smile didn't seem to come from his face, and it didn't look like the master Mo Yan knew when he was letting Sai Jian make a fuss.

Baili Nian was slightly startled, pursing the corners of his lips, "Really?"

"Yes." Mo Yan answered in the affirmative.

Baili Nian didn't speak, he pulled up the veil, the white veil hanging down from the veil tightly blocked his face inside, and his peerless face was also hidden inside, Mo Yang could see Baili Nian's face Even with his expression, he couldn't guess Baili Nian's mood.

Two horses, one black and one white, came out of Nanming King City and headed towards Yeling.Baili Nian didn't take a horse-drawn carriage, and if it was a horse-drawn carriage, he might not be able to reach Yeling today. If he rode faster, Baili Nian would dare to enter Yeling on August [-]th.Baili Nian hadn't worshiped for eight years, and Baili Nian had complicated emotions. Even though the time was so long, it couldn't erase the sadness in his heart. He wanted to go to Yeling, but he was afraid of seeing Yeling's ruin.

The closer you get to Yeling, the deeper the sound of horseshoes.

When the white horse stepped into the gate of Yeling City, the night was dark. There were two broken stone pillars at the gate of Yeling City. Baili Nian glanced at the gate. While resting, he thought that Baili Nian might enter Yeling in a carriage, so he specially left a distance for the carriage to pass, it was rare for that boorish man to be so careful.

Baili Nian's heart warmed slightly, and he rode a white horse into Yeling.Under the moonlight, the ruin of Yeling didn't seem so shocking, Baili Nian raised the white gauze in front of him, looked at the desolate and cold Yeling, hesitant to speak.

"My lord, where are we going to worship?" Mo Yan chased after him on horseback and asked.

Baili Nian looked forward, his eyes were cold, "The souls of the dead are buried everywhere in this Yeling, it's the same wherever you go."

Mo Yan lowered his head, and he was a little low, "Why don't you... go to Shuo Palace, there is an empty space in front of the palace."

"Okay." Baili Nian's tone was a little light, his breath was weak, Mo Yan was afraid that he would not be able to stand it, so he jumped off his horse and walked to the white horse, leading the two horses to Shuo Palace.

The Baili Nian on the horse is a bit flimsy, the white gauze flutters with the wind, like a beautiful scenery in the night, but there is no one to appreciate the scenery.

The paper money was ignited, and the gate of Prince Shuo's mansion was shimmering with light.Mo Yan knelt on the ground to burn paper money, his tears were already falling, but Baili Nian did not shed tears, he stood beside the fire, slowly raised his head, looked at the very familiar Shuo Palace with complicated eyes.He is the king of Dajiang, this is his courtier's residence, and this is his royal city.

The night was cold and windy, and the shimmer flickered.

Baili Nian stood beside the fire in the wind, but didn't say a word.

Mo Yan burned all the paper money, he looked up at Baili Nian, "Master, shall we go back?"

Baili Yan's eyes were blank, he just stared at the fire on the ground, "Go and find King Qiang Zhuo, and we will go back."

"Yes." Mo Yan stood up and went to look for Sai Jian and Wei Yu. After walking a few steps, he looked back.

Baili Nian was still standing there, his figure was extremely thin in the empty doorway, Baili Nian did not shed a single tear or sigh from beginning to end today, he was much calmer than the last time he visited Yeling, It was obviously a good situation, but looking at the white figure, Mo Yan always felt that today's Baili Nian was unusual.

Mo Yan was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. He turned his head and walked forward, looking up at the darkness in front of him, Mo Yan frowned.

Yeling used to be the largest and most prosperous royal city, even if it is burnt down now, it is still the largest royal city, Sai Jian is not from Yeling, he didn't know where to go when he came to Yeling, Mo Yan had a headache, he didn't know where to go Where can I find Sai Jian and Wei Yu?

Mo Yan looked around, all the palaces and pavilions of Yeling had collapsed, and there was no high place for Mo Yan to look at, so he had to walk forward on foot, looking for places where the road was easy to walk, but luckily his lightness kung fu was good, It is much faster than others, and it is faster to find people.

Mo Yan found two rows of footprints in the ashes, and he immediately chased after them. After a while, he saw two figures. Sai Jian and Wei Yu were sitting side by side on the stone steps, looking down at something. Still arguing.

Sai Jian: "This king said it was not this way, but you must say it is, you got lost!"

Wei Yu was very wronged, "I... I just mentioned it, it was your king who chose to come here."

Sai Jianhu stared slightly, "Stop arguing with me, go, go and see where I can get out."

Wei Yu stood up reluctantly, "This Yeling is too big, and it's in ruins. It's in a mess, and I can't even find a way. How do my subordinates know which way to get out?"

Yeling is too big, and now it is a dilapidated house, collapsed in a mess, not to mention Sai Jian and Wei Yu who have never been to Yeling, even Mo Yan who grew up in Yeling, it is not so easy to find the way. Simple.But when Wei Yu's bitter face saw the person opposite, he immediately smiled and ran towards Mo Yan.

"Mo Yan, why are you here? You are the god who saved us from danger!" Wei Yu usually talked a lot, and naturally he kept talking when he was happy.

It was rare for Mo Yan to say calmly when he saw Wei Yu, "Don't worry, I will take you out."

Patting Wei Yu on the shoulder to reassure him, Mo Yan raised his head to look at Sai Jian, and walked up to him in a few steps. "The lord sent me to invite King Qiangmao."

Sai Jian stood up, quickly caught the point of Mo Yan's words, and then asked, "Nian'er also came to Yeling?"

Mo Yan nodded, "Yes."

Sai Jian sighed, "If I had known that Nian'er would come, I would have been with him, and there is no need to wander around in this ruined city at this time."

Thinking about it while talking, Sai Jian shook his head again, "It's better for Nian'er not to come here, so that he won't be unhappy again."

Mo Yan frowned, he didn't understand what this man was thinking, he just felt that he was rude, but Mo Yan's attitude towards Sai Jian was consistent and never changed.Mo Yan stopped talking to Sai Jian and walked back, Wei Yu chased after him and chatted with him, leaving Sai Jian alone at the end.

After walking a few steps, Sai Jian suddenly stopped and his face became ugly.

Mo Yan looked back at him, "What's wrong?"

Sai Jian raised his head with a complicated expression, "You just said that Nian'er was alone in Yeling? You threw him aside!?"

The tone became more and more serious, and the final voice even sounded like a growl. Today is a troubled time, and we are in Yeling. This is Baili Nian's hometown. How would he feel alone, and it is really not safe.Sai Jian gave Mo Yan a hard look, then ran forward with a dignified expression.

For some reason, he always felt uneasy in his heart, as if something was about to happen.

Mo Yan was also stunned, realizing that something was wrong, Baili Nian was weak and had recently experienced wind, how could he let him stay alone.

"I'll lead the way, don't run around!"

Mo Yan chased after them, and both of them quickened their pace, using lightness kung fu, they couldn't stop flying and jumping in the night ruined city, while Wei Yu who stayed behind obviously didn't understand what was going on, he looked at the figures of the two, and immediately He got up and chased after him, but his lightness skill was no match for those two people, so he couldn't catch up at all.

"Hey! What are you two doing all of a sudden! Wait for me!"

No one was waiting for Wei Yu, the two of them rushed forward at the fastest speed, especially Sai Jian, whose face was so dark that he was cautious, his heart was beating uncontrollably, and he was inexplicably worried.
