lonely king

The wind in the autumn night is indeed a bit cool, especially on the road from the garden to the bedroom, all the way to the high place, the wind blows head-on, and gets into the sleeves to cool the bones.Baili Nian was already ill, and his body was a little weaker. Sai Jian was afraid that he would catch the wind and cold again, so he hugged him tightly and walked forward, keeping his other hand in front of him, afraid that the wind would blow his face .

"If you are not in good health, go back to rest early. Haven't you and Dashu Chang always been at odds? Why are you interested in chatting with him for so long? Besides, you didn't drink your medicine on time. It must be cold again when you go back now. Cook it again." The medicine will take some time. Your body is already weak, and you were poisoned a few days ago. It’s finally getting better now. What are you doing out there? Even if you want to have a long talk with Dashu, you can’t let him come to the bedroom. By the way? Why don't you just run to the garden, forget it, if you don't come back so late, don't you know that the sky is already cold, and the night wind is even more biting?"

Sai Jian chattered and didn't play any more. It seemed that he had obtained Liu Jing's true biography. There was a wind blowing in front of Baili Nian, so he couldn't open his mouth. He was afraid that the wind would make his mouth feel uncomfortable. Sai Jian seemed to have seized this opportunity, and always Baili Nian talked so much that he couldn't speak, but this time he had a good time talking and Bai Li Nian couldn't talk back.

After entering the bedroom, Baili Nian took off the cloak and handed it to Mo Yan, then turned to look at Sai Jian, "You really talk a lot today."

"Isn't this king caring about you? You're talking about this king instead." Sai Jian was not happy anymore. He turned his head and beckoned to take the medicine bowl in the maid's hand. He knew it was cold without even tasting it. Displeased, he threw the medicine bowl to the little maid again, "Fry another, remember to hurry up, and let the kitchen bring in the food."

"Let's eat first, and the medicine will be cooked after taking the medicine." Sai Jian said this to Baili Nian. I don't know if it was because of the wind, Baili Nian's face was extremely pale at this moment, and he She was already whiter than ordinary people, but now she looks dazzlingly white, making her look even more sickly.Seeing Baili Nian like this, Sai Jian frowned even tighter.

Sai Jian: "It's already late autumn, and the wind in Taoyang is strong, don't go out in the future."

"Okay." Baililian nodded, but he was very obedient, but his eyes moved out of the window. The sky outside the window was falling into darkness, and there was some black in the west, not pure black, mixed with dark green and indigo, almost Divided into a flirtatious color. "It's not a good omen." Baili Nian murmured.

Sai Jian was urging the servant girl to put the dinner on the table, but he didn't hear what Baili Nian said, so he turned his head and glanced at him, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Baili Nian smiled lightly, and walked towards the table, "The dinner prepared by the king is really delicious."

Sai Jian stuffed the chopsticks into his hands, "After being poisoned, you ate very little, and I don't know what you like to eat, so I asked the kitchen to make more, and you can eat a few more bites of the one you like. "

No wonder Sai Jian didn't know what he likes to eat, it's because Baili Nian never showed his preference, except for painting, he was indifferent to everything, Sai Jian couldn't do anything to please him , and after returning to Taoyang this time, he seemed to have lost interest in painting, and Sai Jian had never seen him hold that beloved Vermilion Bird jade pen.

"Is Nian'er in a bad mood?" Sai Jian asked while serving him some food.

After eating the dish, Baili Nian looked up, "I'm not in a bad mood, it's just that the weather is getting cold too fast, and I'm just tired of autumn."

"When you are tired, rest more and go out less."

Baili Nian nodded, "Understood."

Seeing that Baili Nian ate up the vegetables he had picked up for him, Sai Jian immediately picked up half a bowl for him without stopping. He couldn't name the dishes, but he could tell which one Baili Nian ate more. , I wrote down the pattern of the dishes, and asked the kitchen to cook this dish next time, and if Baili Nian hadn't touched it, it wouldn't appear next time.

In fact, Baili Nian is not picky about food. If you eat more, you may not like it, and if you have not touched it, you may not dislike it. He is just too lazy to reach out, and only eats the food closest to him. Lo and behold.

"What are you thinking?" Sai Jian couldn't help asking.

Baili Nian raised his head and smiled slightly, "I'm thinking about the king."

"Huh?" Sai Jian froze on the spot, and all the vegetables with his chopsticks fell off. Sai Jian was stunned before he could recover, and Baili Nian over there said again, "I was wondering when the King send troops."

"Nian'er is talking about this?" Sai Jian put down his chopsticks, feeling relaxed and disappointed for a moment.

Seeing him like this, Baili Nian couldn't help but smile, "What does Your Majesty think I'm talking about?"

"No...no," Sai Jian scratched his head, and served Baili Nian with vegetables, his complexion finally normal, "When does Nian'er think the king should send troops? Do you send troops to help Xi Zhao immediately? This is too cheap." Get over that kid."

He decided to send troops because of the general situation of the world. He sent troops not to aid Xizhao, but to guarantee himself, but Saijian looked down on Yueying, and the name of sending troops was to help the allies. No matter how unhappy he was, he hated Yue Ming even more.Baili Nian pursed her lips, her thoughts were already attracted by the word Xi Zhao.

He put down his chopsticks, "Is there any news from Xizhao? Before Yuwenyang attacked the city, Yue Wei was so anxious. Now that Yuwenyang has entered Xizhao, he is naturally even more anxious. Although we have ours Think about it, but you can't just help him in vain. Has Xizhao sent envoys over? No matter what conditions are discussed at this time, Yue Ying must agree."

The smile on the corners of Baili Nian's lips was somewhat sinister, "Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of this moment to hit him, Taoyang City to the north has already been captured by the King, and the few buildings to the west near Taoyang His city is Xizhao, so if you don’t want to come here now, what are you waiting for?”

You can't send troops in vain, and of course you have to get back some benefits from Xi Zhao.

Sai Jian looked at Baili Nian who was talking eloquently, at this time he suddenly had an illusion, as if he had returned to Wangshu Pavilion, Baili Nian persuaded himself to leave Cangyu Mountain, with that look, that look, that was considered by Qiang Zhu, all of them It is Sai Jian's favorite, especially when he said "we" is not "you" or "me and you", but "we", as if two people are one.The word "we" sounds so sweet. Sai Jian smiled brightly when he heard it, and he couldn't help holding each other's hand.

Baili Nian was taken aback, talking hard about Xi Zhao, but this person leaned in front of him, looking at him helplessly, like a silly child on the street who asked his parents for candied haws, Bai Li Nian couldn't laugh or cry, his anger was neither joy nor joy, He just withdrew his hand and deliberately raised his cold eyes.

"If your majesty doesn't eat, and if you don't want to talk and just want to stare blindly, you can go outside and stare."

Sai Jian laughed, and squeezed his hand again, "Is it good that Nian'er will always be like this, this king likes Nian'er like this."

"What's it like?" Baili Nian was a little puzzled, didn't he just talk about Xi Zhao?Did nothing.

"My king likes Nian'er the most. I think about Qiang'er, for this king's sake. I hope that I can keep Nian'er in Qiang'er forever." Sai Jian was frank and straightforward, never hiding what was in his heart.Baili Nian didn't respond to the first half of the sentence, he knew what Sai Jian said, but his eyes darkened two points in the second half, wanting to keep him in Qiangzhu forever...

"Didn't Xizhao send envoys over?" Baili Nian didn't want to continue this topic, so he talked about Xizhao again, and instead of pulling his hand back, he naturally pulled up Sai Jian who was squatting on the ground. Sai Jian didn't notice Baili Nian was strange, so he took advantage of the opportunity to sit next to Baili Nian, and his thoughts naturally followed Baili Nian to Xi Zhao.

Sai Jian said: "Xizhao did send an envoy here, and he was a young man with a good eloquence. The elder Dashu received him and praised him very well. The king also met him, but at that time the king was still there. I didn't think about whether to send troops to aid Xi Zhao, so I didn't talk to him much, but he is indeed a good lobbyist."

"It seems that Xizhao also recruited many young talents. What's the name of that person?" Baili Nian asked casually. In fact, he was not interested in Xizhao's envoys. Sai Jian's answer made him startled.

Sai Jian thought about that person, "It seems... It seems that his name is Zhang You, and he is also from the southern border. Does Nian Er know him?"

Zhang You...

The originally drooping eyes suddenly lifted up, Baili Nian's eyelashes trembled twice, and there was a bit of surprise in the surprise, the person who came was actually Zhang You?That's right, he should have thought of it, there are only a few people that Yue Ming can use, and at this time, the people who can be recruited at this time are naturally old people from Nanming.Xizhao is at a critical moment, and the envoys sent by Qiangzhao are related to Xizhao's life and death. They must be talented people, and it is most appropriate to send Zhang You here, but...

It's just that the eyeliner he arranged on Xi Zhao failed to stare at Zhang You. Zhang You had already come to Qiang Zhu, but he hadn't received any news. It seemed that Zhang You and Yue Ming were not just on guard, but had already cleaned up his people.

"Nian'er? What's the matter with you, Nian'er?" Seeing that Baili Nian hadn't spoken for a long time, Sai Jian called him. Seeing that his face was not in a good mood, he was very worried.

Baili Nian squeezed out a comforting smile, "It's okay, I just remembered the old things."

While the two were talking, another person came in at the door. The person who came was none other than Baili Nian's confidant Mo Yan. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything, usually Mo Yan would speak with interest when the two were together, but after standing for a while, he still walked up to Baili Nian, clung to his ear, and spoke.

Mo Yan said: "My lord, there is news from Xizhao that our people were kidnapped overnight by Yue Wei's plan, and the news from Xizhao's side may not be able to reach, and Zhang You disappeared in Xizhao."

Sure enough, Baili Nian frowned slightly, and he turned to look at Mo Yan, "How many people are left?" We can't take them all away.

Mo Yan couldn't speak, he could only tell the truth, "Most of them were killed, only the people who were buried around Yue Zhixin in the palace, and a few little girls in the government's mansion, but only There are only five or six people left."

Baili Nian'an had hundreds of people in Xizhao's eyeliner, and now there are not even ten people. It can be seen that Zhang Youhe's hands and feet are fast enough, and he was careless.Baili twisted his fingers lightly, his slender middle finger and thumb twisted together, his eyelashes trembled slightly, no one could see the coldness in his eyes.

"Nian'er?" Seeing that Baili Nian's expression changed, Sai Jian looked at him with concern, a bit worried.

Realizing that Sai Jian was still by his side, he raised his head, "I'm fine." Then he waved his hand to let Mo Yan go out, expressing that he already knew and knew.

Mo Yan's figure left, and under the dim candlelight in the room, only Baili Nian and Sai Jian were left, the latter looked at Baili Nian with concern, his face was still not well, Sai Jian was a little worried, " Is there something wrong? You also tell this king, as long as this king can do it, Nian'er will definitely do it."

Baili Nian slowly raised his eyes, looking at Sai Jian with a fixed gaze, mysterious and complicated, "Then the king will promise Nian one thing."

"Okay, no matter what, as long as this king can do it, I will promise you everything." Sai Jian said without thinking, Baili Nian had almost never asked him, and now he is willing to let him help, let alone a matter, Even if there are [-] to [-] things, he will not hesitate.

Baili Nian's eyes were deep, "The envoys of Xizhao leave it to me to see and deal with them."

"Okay." Sai Jian replied very naturally.

"Won't Your Majesty ask me why I want to meet the envoy of Xizhao?"

Sai Jian smiled, "Nian'er wants to see that person, there must be your reason, Nian'er doesn't have to explain to the king, as long as it doesn't hurt Qiang Zhu, Nian'er can do whatever he wants. Yes, the medicine for Nian'er Haven't you come yet?" Sai Jian stood up and went to the door to give Baili Nian the decoction, the only thing he cared about was the body of the person in the room.

Baili Nian glanced at the door, this kind of Sai Jian made him feel unconfident, maybe he was not worthy of him.Baili Nian's eyes were a bit dark, and under those complicated eyes, there was the joy of being trusted, and also the fatigue of experiencing all kinds of things in the world. In fact, it's good to stay by this person's side, right?Baili Nian asked himself in his heart, but he couldn't give himself an answer.

The wind outside was blowing again, it was freezing cold, and dead leaves were falling on the corners.
