lonely king

In the side hall of Gaoming Terrace, Sai Jian was sitting in the front seat, and Yue Zhixin was sitting in the first seat on the right. Sai Jian thought that Yue Zhixin would speak in a hurry, but not only did she not, on the contrary, Sai Jian had to calm down. Jian didn't open her mouth, she didn't open her mouth, and she really didn't seem to be in a hurry to unite.

Seeing that Yuezhi didn't open his mouth, Sai Jian was very happy in his heart, and just waited for the elder to come, and handed this person over to the elder together.It's just that Yue Zhixin caught his hint of joy, and she put down the teacup in her hand.

Yue Zhixin: "I heard that King Qiang Zhuo is not feeling well recently, I don't know if he is well now?"

Sai Jian waved his hand, "No problem."

Those were just words used to prevaricate people, Yue Zhixin knew it in his heart, and Sai Jian also knew it, but they both maintained politeness on the face of each other.

Yue Zhixin opened his mouth again, with a slight smile on his lips, "Since the king moved his capital to Taoyang City, he has become even more powerful and majestic. Qiang Zhu is also a powerful country that cannot be underestimated in this world, and everyone in the world respects him."

Reaching out without hitting the smiling person, no matter if it is sincere or not, Yue Zhixin will praise first, naturally Sai Jian has no reason to say offensive words, and he doesn't like these flattery words, just smiles and nods, without saying anything else.

What a smart person Yue Zhixin is, she has obviously noticed that Sai Jian doesn't like this kind of thing, she raised her pretty eyes, and then smiled, "Wang Shang was originally the king of the grassland who is free and unrestrained, he should be free and unrestrained It's cumbersome, it's really vulgar for a little girl to show off, so it's better to talk to the king straight to the point, what does the king think?"

Sai Jian really raised his brows, thinking that the more weaving his heart is, the more people talk about people, the ghosts talk nonsense, and he can say anything. He really doesn't like euphemistic and coy words, he prefers to be straightforward, and then nodded, "What's the princess?" What you want to say, just say it, this king is very rough and doesn't have that much etiquette, if you offend the princess, the princess can just point it out."

Yue Zhixin smiled, thinking that Sai Jian's name of boldness and informality is indeed true, "In this case, I will bluntly say that Zhixin's visit to King Qiangma this time is for the purpose of joining forces. The degree of understanding should be much stronger than that of a little girl like me. Now that Nanming has been defeated, Yu Wenyang is stationed in Nanming and refuses to leave. Beiyan has always had the heart to dominate the world. Nanming, does it have a deep meaning?"

Yue Zhixin threw the words to Sai Jian, wanting him to continue, but Sai Jian didn't talk to him. If he had felt that Yu Wenyang's move was quite meaningful before, but after he went to Nanming, he didn't think so. .Although he still doesn't know why Yu Wenyang is stationed in Nanming and refuses to return to the imperial court, he has seen Yu Wenyang's decadent appearance. A person who is ambitious for the world or wants to attack the western region, shouldn't he train more frequently to seize the opportunity to seize the world?How could it be so decadent.

Sai Jian also thought about whether this might be a trick, but after observing it himself, he dispelled this idea.

Yue Zhixin didn't know what Sai Jian was thinking. She had never been to Nanming, so she didn't know Yu Wenyang's condition.

Sai Jian didn't answer, Yue Zhixin had no choice but to continue, "Although Yuwen Yang lost a lot of soldiers and horses and ran out of food and grass when he crossed the river, Nanming is a rich land, so he won't worry about winning Nanming. Food and grass, although the soldiers and horses are lost, there are still 30 troops, with Yu Wenyang's bravery and Baili Nian's ingenious plan, it is not impossible to take the entire western region, if this is the case, then our western region is in trouble."

Yue Zhixin smiled softly, "Xizhao borders Nanming, if Yu Wenyang really wants to attack the West, Xizhao will be the first to attack, but Qiang Zhu occupies Taoyang City with excellent traffic, if Yuwenyang takes Xizhao , How could he let Qiang Hao go? The king is a great talent in troubled times, so he naturally understands these principles better than my youngest daughter. The combination of Qiang Hao and Xizhao not only stabilizes the western region, but also stabilizes itself."

After Yue Zhixin entered Taoyang City, the news was blocked by Sai Jian's people. She didn't know that Baili Nian had entered Qiang Zhuo, but she thought he was still in Nanming, and Sai Jian didn't intend to release the news, after all. It was rumored outside that it was only Baili Nian who was taken captive into Qiang Zhuo. As for who was taken captive, people in Nanming didn't know Sai Jian, and Qiang Zhuo belonged to Sai Jian himself, so his mouth was tight.The new owner of Taoyang City, except for Baili Nian's eyeliner, has not been done by other countries, so the news cannot be spread.

Sai Jian pretended to be disappointed, and cooperated with Yue Zhixin to say, "The princess is right, the situation in the world is really tense."

But just don't get involved in the matter of union.

Finding that Sai Jian deliberately did not talk about alliances, Yue Zhixin frowned slightly, and then said, "My king is very concerned about the matter of alliances, sending Zhixin to this trip, in addition to talking about alliances with the king, he also wants to talk about alliances. As a matchmaker, my desire to marry Xi Zhao and Qiang Zhuo has never changed, if the two countries can form a happy relationship forever, it will be a good story."

"Marriage again?" Sai Jian was obviously displeased, "I haven't said this before, why are you talking about it again?"

Sai Jian originally thought that this matter had been turned over, but he didn't expect that the Yue brothers and sisters were still thinking about it. Sai Jian's eyes changed when he looked at Yue Zhixin. He really couldn't figure out why the eldest princess wanted to marry him again.

Yue Zhixin pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that Sai Jian was wrong, she quickly waved her hand, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, this trip Zhixin wants to ask your Majesty for a queen to return to Xizhao, my king is young Vigorous and not yet married, Zhixin heard that King Qiangma has a cousin who is beautiful and beautiful, and has a gentle and pleasant temperament, if she can match up with my king, it will be a good story."

"King Xizhao wants to marry Shu'er?"

Sai Jian understood Yue Zhixin's meaning, since he couldn't get a queen to come over, he wanted to ask a queen to come over, and even targeted his cousin Sai Shu.King Sai Jian's father has only his son and no relatives. Sai Shu is his uncle's daughter. She is considered Princess Qiangzhu, but she is not a direct princess. Besides, Sai Shu is a child of the grassland, so even Sai Jian can't suppress her domineering vigor. Live, Yue Zhixin actually said that she is gentle and pleasant, and she wants to marry back to be the queen.

Sai Jian sneered, Xi Zhao really tried his best to unite Qiang Zhuo.

"Your Majesty, do you think this marriage is feasible?" Yue Zhixin smiled softly, "My king's brother is well-mannered and handsome, and King Qiangzhu also knows about it, and Xizhao has always advocated having fun with the people, and Yan'er is even more affectionate. .Princess Qiangzhu marrying me, Xizhao, will definitely not suffer any grievances, and I, Xizhao, will marry the princess with a generous dowry."

After hearing this, Sai Jian just smiled, and sighed in his heart that Princess Xizhao was a good planner, but even if his cousin married Xizhao as queen, Sai Jian did not immediately agree, but waved his hand.

"Princess, I don't know. My Qiangzhu royal family doesn't have so many rules. Princes and princesses can also choose their own marriages. As long as they are satisfied, they can get married. Although this king is the king of Qiangzhu, whether Shu'er wants to marry in Xizhao? I still have to ask her for her own idea, how about this." Sai Jian said and stood up, "Shu'er is in Cangyu Mountain, my king sent someone to bring her over, the princess can ask her if she has any ideas?"

"Your Majesty, this..."

Yue Zhixin also stood up, with a bit of anxiety, to pick up the man from Cangyu Mountain, and to talk to Sai Shu again, and then to make a marriage ceremony. I don't know how long it will be delayed, Xi Zhao The situation in the world and the situation in the world can't wait so long.

"Your Majesty, will this be too cumbersome, or should we settle the marriage first, and then the Majesty will send someone to ask the princess."

But Sai Jian shook his head, "This marriage is already complicated, and it's a country's princess marrying a country's king, how can it be a joke." Sai Jian walked out as he said, there was nothing to talk about at this time, he happened to walk to the door, and Seeing the head of the family coming towards him, Sai Jian breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately pushed Princess Xizhao to the head of the house.

"Eldest princess, you can discuss the marriage with the eldest son in detail. The king still has a lot of memorials to deal with, and there is really no time." Sai Jian gave the eldest son a look, indicating that this person will be handed over to you.

"Your Majesty!" Yue Zhixin wanted to say something, but Sai Jian didn't give her a chance, and after welcoming the eldest son in, he immediately walked out, left the side hall, and headed west.Yue Zhixin had no choice but to swallow the words.

The alliance between Xi Zhao and Qiang Zhuo was still delayed.

……

Gao Mingtai, Sai Jian's bedroom.

In the past few days, Baili Nian has recovered a lot, and all the toxins in his body have been discharged, and his face, which is as white as rice paper, has added a few touches of blood.The dinner was brought by Sai Jian himself, a few green vegetables and a bowl of white porridge, Baili Nian ate a lot, Sai Jian was very happy, and even rewarded the cooks in the kitchen.

"Nianer, do you want to eat some more?" Sai Jian took a bowl of porridge and fed it to Baili Nian.

However, Baili Nian took the bowl from Sai Jian's hand and placed it beside the bed. He looked up at the window, it was already dark, and the moonlight was cool, "I want to go for a walk."

Sai Jian disagreed, "It's cold, it's cold outside, you haven't recovered yet, what are you doing out there?"

Baili twisted his head, his face even showed a bit of pleading, his eyes were bright, "I've been lying in bed for many days, I'll just go out for a while."

How could Sai Jian bear this? Seeing Baili Nian's sincere and soft face, he couldn't hold on for a long time, and sighed, "Okay, I'll go out with you, but I can only walk in front of the door , can’t go out of Gao Mingtai.”

"Okay." Baili Nian smiled brightly.

It's cool autumn, and the wind is the coldest at night. Standing in the wind and being blown like that, I can shiver with cold.Sai Jian was afraid that Baili Nian would catch the cold, so he took a white sable fur cloak and wrapped Baili Nian tightly. He was originally thin, but this disease was like thin paper. Sai Jian was afraid that the autumn wind at the door would put him on Blown away.

"Is it cold?" Sai Jian hugged him from behind.

Baili Nian only looked at the moon in front of him and shook his head.Gaoming Terrace was originally built on the tower, which is the tallest place in Taoyang City, and Sai Jian's bedroom is also the tallest building in Gaoming Terrace. Now Baili Nian is standing at the gate of the palace, looking far away is the roof of the city, moonlight Sprinkle it on the roof, it's cool.

"Is it really not cold?" Sai Jian asked again, grabbing his hand, the palms and backs of which were frighteningly cold.

Baili Nian still shook his head, "It's not cold."

His eyes turned from the bright moon in the west to the south, looking in the direction of Nanming, Baili's eyes were a little dark.

Under the moonlight, on the tallest building of Gaoming Terrace, two people stood in the dim candlelight in front of the door. They were dressed in black and wrapped in white shirts. The time was peaceful, but not long after, there was a hurried figure with a lantern. After entering this landscape, the picture-like scene was broken, and the little eunuch who came with a lantern had a flustered expression.

"Your Majesty, something has happened." The little eunuch blushed with anxiety.

Sai Jian and Baili Nian turned their heads at the same time, and the satisfaction on their faces was revealed at the same time. Sai Jian frowned tightly, and Baili Nian also pursed his lower lip.

Letting go of the person in his arms, Sai Jian looked at the little eunuch, "Why are you panicking, tell me what happened."

The little eunuch glanced at Baili Nian next to him, and seeing that the king didn't let him evade, he said directly, "Your Majesty, the battle report came from the south. There is a great potential to defeat Xizhao."

"What!?" Sai Jian frowned, he really didn't think about it, "Is Yu Wenyang crazy, why is he biting like a mad dog, why did he attack Xi Zhao at night!"

Previously, Sai Jian looked at Yu Wenyang's situation and thought that he would die drunk in Nanming. Even if he would attack Xi Zhao, it would not be so sudden. Why did he start the attack without warning, which made Sai Jian unpredictable.Fortunately, Taoyang City is the gathering place for news from all over the world, so we can get the news as soon as possible.

Sai Jian suddenly remembered Yue Zhixin, he held the little eunuch, "Where is Yue Zhixin? Didn't she receive any news?"

The little eunuch looked embarrassed, "Going back to the king, the slave came from the side of the elder. The news first spread to the elder, and it was the elder who asked the slave to report to the king. It's just that there When the news came, it happened that Princess Xizhao heard about it, and now the princess is rushing to Xizhao overnight, she was probably too anxious and fell on the doorway, with a big blood mark on her forehead."

"Is Yue Zhixin injured? Is there no danger to his life?" Sai Jian also became anxious. He was not sympathetic, but because of Yue Zhixin's identity. However, if something happened in Qiangzhao, then Saijian really couldn't explain it to Yuezhang and Xizhao Wanmin.

Fortunately, the little eunuch shook his head immediately, "No, it's just scratched and disfigured, there is no danger of life, the elders recruited the doctor, but Princess Xizhao didn't even want to wait for a moment, she covered her forehead with a handkerchief and went to bed I got into the carriage and rushed to Xizhao overnight, the elder did not dare to stop her in such a situation, so he sent a team of elite soldiers to escort the princess back to Xizhao, and sent a servant to report to the king."

"Well, the king knows."

Sai Jian frowned. It didn't matter whether he went back or not. The important thing was Xi Zhao's battle. Sai Jian didn't expect Yu Wenyang to send troops so fast, and now he didn't know what to do. Send troops to help Xi Zhao?Or should we wait and see what happens?If Xizhao is to be aided, soldiers and horses will be dispatched to prepare food and grass, but is it necessary to take Qiang Zhuerlang's life to rescue Xizhao at this time?But if there is no help, if Xizhao dies, his lips will be dead and his teeth will be cold, Qiang Zhu will definitely not be much better.

When Sai Jian was overwhelmed by thousands of thoughts and didn't know what to do, a hand emerged from his hand and held him, "Don't worry, Yue Ji is not Gongsun Zhi, and Xi Zhao is not Nanming, it's not that fast." It was breached. This is just a surprise attack, and the real battle will have to wait for a few days, Yue Yan is not so stupid."

He is by no means someone who is easy to deal with like Gongsun Zhi.

The words came from Baili Nian, comforted at the stall, how could he not know what Sai Jian was thinking in his heart, this person was dragged into the Central Plains by himself, and he was watched from a savage in the grassland to the overlord of today's troubled times.

Sai Jian turned his head to look at Baili Nian, and grabbed him with his backhand, "This king knows, and Nian'er understands this king."

Baili Nian smiled, kind of gentle.

The little eunuch here is a little anxious, he still has nothing to say, but the two people in front of him are talking, and he doesn't dare to take the blame, he just stares and waits for the two to finish speaking, Baili Nian's thoughts are like dust, and he naturally notices the little eunuch Looking at the expression on his face, he asked him, "What else do you want to say?"

Sai Jian finally noticed the little eunuch's anxiety, "What else, let's talk slowly."

"It's Your Majesty," the little eunuch finally found a way to speak, "The Elder Master personally went to send Princess Xizhao out of the city. He should come back now and report the war in the south to the Emperor in detail. The Elder Master should hurry in and shout stage."

Baili Nian understood the meaning of the little eunuch. The chief minister wanted to discuss the countermeasures with Sai Jian, so he took La Saijian's hand, "Go, the chief minister should have something to say to the king. Xizhao will definitely affect Qiang Zhuo as well."

"Okay," Sai Jian nodded, but he didn't let go of his hand. He took Baili Nian and walked together, "You can also go with me, and you can also give me advice."

When the little eunuch saw that Sai Jian was about to drag Baili Nian away, he became impatient and trotted up to the two of them with a lantern in his hand. He had a look of embarrassment on his face, "Your Majesty, Mr. Baili is still weak. Well, there is no wind, or let Mr. Baili rest."

The elder Shu didn't like Baili Nian, and when he sent the young eunuch over, he specifically told him not to come to discuss matters, let alone see him.The little eunuch could only bite the bullet and make excuses not to let Baili Nian go.How could his little thoughts escape Baili Nian's eyes, Baili Nian immediately understood that this was the special confession of the elder.

If he doesn't want to see his own people, he will definitely not rush to go over, Baili Nian still retains the arrogance of a king in his bones, his face is calm, but he let go of Sai Jian's hand.

Baili Nian: "I'm tired, so I won't accompany you."

Sai Jian really thought that Baili Nian was tired, so he hurriedly supported him, and asked concerned, "Nian'er was blown outside, why don't I help you go back to rest first?"

Baili Nian lowered his eyes and said, "Okay."
