lonely king

On the official road leading to the western border, a heroic red horse gallops away. The speed is beyond the reach of ordinary horses, and the figure on the horse is even more eye-catching. The contrast between black and white is obvious. Saijian's long black velvet cape not only Wrapping himself, he also wrapped Baili Nian in his arms, Bai Li Nian was thinner than he imagined, and he held him in his arms with one hand.

The two rode a horse and wore a cloak galloping forward. Baili Nian's face was too eye-catching. Sai Jian put on a veil for him, but the white gauze on the side of the veil was too light, and the fast horse would be blown by the wind. Lifting his veil, his stunning face is shown in front of passers-by from time to time, which makes people amazed.

There is only one person with such beauty in the world, and the news of his being taken away naturally spread like wildfire.

After Sui Yi got the news, he immediately went to Zhuming Pavilion, turned the entire Zhuming Pavilion upside down, but found no trace of Baili Nian, and thought: Mr. Baili was really taken to Qiangzhu?

Sai Jian first entered the Central Plains, and people in the Central Plains didn't know him, and Sui Yi had never met Sai Jian. Take him away, only know that a strong man took him to Taoyang City, which is the boundary of Qiang Zhuo.

After confirming that Baili Nian was indeed not in Zhuming Pavilion, but was taken to Taoyang City, Sui Yi immediately told Yu Wenyang the news.After all, Baili Nian voted under Yu Wenyang's banner, and after staying for so many days, he even came up with a lot of clever ideas for Yu Wenyang.Sui Yi was very anxious and came to Yu Wenyang for an idea. He wanted to personally connect Tao Yang and bring Baili back, but Yu Wenyang didn't take it seriously.

"General! Mr. Baili was taken away by a black-robed man, and he is still alive and dead. Did you listen to what the general said?"

Sui Yi looked at Yu Wenyang anxiously. Yu Wenyang was drinking, and the jug happened to be empty, so he put down the jug, but the expression on his face did not change, he just glanced at him casually, "I heard."

"Then general, do we want to send someone to Taoyang City to bring Mr. Baili back? No..., I'd better go there in person. If something happens to Mr., the general will be able to rescue him." Sui Sui Yi added eagerly.

Yu Wenyang waved his hand, but was a little impatient, "No need to go, maybe he just went to see the boundary of Qiang Zhuo. Baili Nian's whereabouts are always erratic, so don't take special care."

"No, general," Sui Yi said hastily, "the general heard the news that Mr. Baili was taken away by a strong man, and he was unconscious and his face was not good. The general guessed, he must It was that person who injured Mr. Baili first, and then took him to Taoyang City, so Mr. Baili must be in danger at this time!"

Sui Yi's mind is very straight, without so many twists and turns. When he heard the news about Baili Nian, he subconsciously thought that Baili Nian might be in danger. As for who Sai Jian was and why he brought him to Taoyang City, he never thought about it. .

Yu Wenyang's idea is obviously different from Sui Yi's, or he has no idea at all. He doesn't really care where Baili Nian is going, so he waved his hand again, "Just send someone to look for it. You don't have to go. I still need you."

Although Yu Wenyang now cares about the affairs of the army because of his love for drinks, he also knows that there is no chaos in the army because Sui Yi is taking care of him. Of course he can't let Sui Yi leave. Now that Nanming has been captured, Yu Wenyang will not Baili Nian was needed to make suggestions, but Sui Yi was needed to handle military affairs for him.

Sui Yi frowned, dissatisfied with Yu Wenyang's attitude, "General, that's Mr. Baili, why are you..."

"Go out, this general has a severe headache." Yu Wenyang waved Sui Yi out, he was too lazy to spend energy on these things, or in other words, Yu Wenyang, who was in a daze, had no energy to deal with anything.

Although Sui Yi is dissatisfied, Yu Wenyang is the general he has followed for half his life. Although the general who once galloped on the battlefield has changed his mind, Sui Yi is loyal and will not refute Yu Wenyang. Clasping his fists, he sighed inwardly, "Yes, General."

With Yu Wenyang's attitude, Sui Yi couldn't help it, so he had to pick a few capable men and send them to Taoyang City.

It's just that Sui Yi's subordinates followed Sui Yi's lead, they were good fighters, but they couldn't figure out how to find someone, not to mention going to such a crowded place like Taoyang City, which is a place where news from all over the world gathers. , the people on the street in the tea house are all smiling faces and glib faces. Once Sui Yi's people entered Taoyang and listened to various news, they couldn't tell which sentence was true and which sentence was false. Nian couldn't hear a word of news.

At this moment, Baili Nian is lying in Sai Jian's bedroom.After Sai Jian moved his capital to Taoyang City, instead of building another palace, he repaired the mansion of the former city guard officials and the Gaoming Tower of the city tower.Sai Jian's bedroom is at Gaoming Terrace, and he also brought Baili Nian back here, and Sai Jian was feeding Baili Nian with soup at this time.

"Nian'er, is the medicine bitter? Would you like some candied fruit?" Sai Jian carefully fed it.

Baili Nian on the bed shook his head, "It's okay, it's not bitter." He ate the decoction very obediently, without the slightest willfulness of a patient, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he put such a bitter decoction into his mouth .

It's just that the person next to him felt distressed and hurriedly stuffed a candied fruit with him. The candied fruit entered the mouth, and the sweetness dissolved the bitterness.

"Is it better now? Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?" Sai Jian asked with concern while tucking the quilt for Baili Nian. Baili Nian didn't speak, but shook his head with a smile. His complexion has recovered. many.

Baili Nian woke up on the second day after arriving in Taoyang City. At that time, Sai Jian had brought a dozen doctors to guard him for a day and a night. In fact, Baili Nian's situation was not so bad. It takes time to detoxify, but these doctors don't understand it, the poison technique is not as good as Baili Nian, and they feel that the situation is complicated and don't know how to start.

It wasn't until Baili Nian woke up on his own, spit out two mouthfuls of black blood, and his pale complexion recovered, that Sai Jian was relieved.

After Baili Nian on the bed ate two candied fruit, he refused to eat any more and ate very little food. After all, he was still weak after being poisoned. Sai Jian didn't force him, but ordered the kitchen to make porridge and served it to him. Baili Nian, feed him some.

After eating three mouthfuls, Baili Nian pushed Sai Jian's hand away, "I can't take it anymore."

"It's just white porridge, let's have two more bites." Sai Jian held up a spoon and put it into his mouth, but Baili Nian pushed it back. He frowned slightly and shook his head at Sai Jian. He really couldn't eat it.

Sai Jian sighed, and put down the bowl, "If you can't eat, you won't eat. You are weak now, take a rest, and eat when you have an appetite."

Baili Nian lay down obediently. He glanced into the room, but he didn't find Mo Yan's figure, so he asked, "Where's Mo Yan?"

"Mo Yan is outside, he has also come to Taoyang." Sai Jian replied casually.

Baili Nian nodded, "Then you call him in."

During the days when he came to Taoyang, Sai Jian took good care of him, but since Ye Ling was assassinated until now, Baili Nian still doesn’t know what’s going on outside. The source of the news, Baili Nian was naturally worried and wanted to call Mo Yan to ask.As soon as Sai Jian heard Mo Yan's name, he also knew what Baili Nian wanted to do, and immediately pressed his arm.

"Just rest for a few days. Don't worry about those messy things these two days. If the world is in chaos, let it go. No matter how noisy Yu Wenyang is, Tao Yang will not be hit. You can rest for two days in peace, and wait. Let's talk after the injury is healed."

Baili Nian didn't intend to stop, he looked outside the house, "I just ask Mo Yan to come in, just ask a few words, no..."

"You can't even ask me a few words!" Sai Jian cupped Baili Nian's face with both hands, forbidding him to look outside, and just tucked up the corner of the quilt for him to rest, "I asked Wei Yu to take Mo Yan out, He is not at Gao Mingtai right now, you can rest for two days safely, and give him two days off as well."

Sai Jian is rarely stubborn, he has never been a stubborn person, but this time he refused to listen to Baili Nian, the poisoning of Baili Nian really frightened him, although the situation outside is tense now, but the heart is so big, it is too much work. Too much is never a good thing, you always need to stop and relax for a while.

Baili Nian didn't insist anymore, he closed his eyes obediently, "Okay, I see."

Sai Jian was very satisfied. The obedience of the other party obviously put him in a good mood. He was always overwhelmed by Baili Nian, and it was rare for him to be stubborn once. The other party was so obedient, perhaps because of his injury. He felt that Baili Nian was like a stalk After seeing the sharp-mouthed White Eagle, the whole person became docile.

A little eunuch came in from outside the door, and seeing Sai Jian talking to Baili Nian, he moved close to Sai Jian's ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, Princess Xizhao is already waiting outside to see you."

"Why did she come to Gao Mingtai? Didn't she be received by the elder?" Sai Jian was not very happy, and his brows were all frowned.

The little eunuch also looked puzzled, "The people below are blocking it, but they didn't stop it. The chief minister went to check the soldiers and horses. Today, a batch of soldiers, horses, and grain and grass were shipped from Cangyu Mountain. The chief minister was worried, so he went to check it himself. , the princess should have come directly to Gao Mingtai while the eldest son was away, and now she is waiting outside, Your Majesty, look..."

"It's really a headache." Sai Jian patted his forehead, very irritable, "How many times have I told the elders, don't be so meticulous about everything! Just let the people below check the food and grass. Those who are entrusted to him to hold him back will not be held back by this king, and they should go to do some unimportant things."

The eldest son is extremely careful, and does everything by himself, but sometimes he is too careful, and instead leaves the business in hand. Sai Jian has talked about the eldest son several times, but the eldest son talked more diligently and even more than him. If there were more, Sai Jian would not bother to talk about him.

"Then the king is going to see...? Or... was the slave dismissed?" the eunuch asked tentatively.

Sai Jian frowned, and glanced at Baili Nian on the bed. He was lying peacefully, as if he had fallen asleep without any movement.Sai Jian stood up, irritable and helpless, "All right, then go and meet."

Yuezhixin is Princess Xizhao after all, it was an offense to detain him in Qiangzhu last time, and now it is unreasonable to ignore him, not to mention the complicated situation in the world now.Whether or not to unite with Xi Zhao, Sai Jian hadn't made up his mind yet, and he didn't know if it would be a good thing to intervene at this time. He needed to be cautious, and naturally he wouldn't immediately agree to Yue Zhixin, but he had to deal with it.

Walking to the door, Sai Jian suddenly stopped, and said to the little eunuch: "My king is going to meet Princess Xizhao in the side hall, you go and find me the eldest son immediately, and let him come to the side hall of Gao Mingtai immediately, That Yuezhixin is also a clever mouth that talks all over the world, I don't have time to waste time with her, let Da Shu grow up to deal with it!"

"Yes, the servant knows." The little eunuch turned his head and ran out, not daring to delay in the slightest.

But Sai Jian pulled him back again, "Hurry up for me! Don't say it's about Princess Xizhao, just say that I have something important to discuss with the eldest son, and let him come here quickly! I know Yet?"

The little eunuch who was entrusted with the important task nodded solemnly, "I understand, Your Majesty!"

If the eldest son knew that Sai Jian was asking him to deal with Yue Zhixin, maybe the old boy would slowly do other things first. How could Sai Jian let this happen? He pursed his lips and looked at him. Go to the side hall.
