lonely king

The letter promising to send troops has already gone to Xizhao, and Saijian is rectifying the troops. Qiang Zhuo has not as many troops as Xizhao, let alone Beiyan, but the bravery of the grassland men is enough to shock the world.Sai Jian ordered 20 troops and led them to Xizhao himself. He also left [-] troops to garrison Taoyang City, and [-] troops to defend Cangyu Mountain. He left Baili Nian in Taoyang City.

In fact, it was more appropriate for Baili Nian to go with the army than the elder Shu, who was more appropriate to manage Qiangma's affairs, but Baili Nian fell ill, and after he came back from Liu's mansion, he contracted a cold and lay in bed all the time.On the one hand, Sai Jian was thinking about Baili Nian's body, and he didn't want him to go to the battlefield with him. I don't know where I went.Sai Jian was deeply touched by this point, and decided to keep Baili Nian in Qiang Zhuo.

The war in the western region can't wait any longer. Saijian's trip to Xizhao is imminent. Before leaving, he went back to Gaomingtai to visit the sick Baili Nian. After being poisoned, Baili Nian's body seemed to be a little weaker. He fell ill on the bed, Sai Jian looked at the person on the bed, a little reluctant to leave.

"Nian'er, are you better?" Sai Jian's tone was full of worry.

Baili Nian opened his eyes, his lips were bloodless, but he gave Sai Jian a comforting smile, "It's all right, don't worry, Your Majesty."

Sai Jian held Baili Nian's hand and frowned, "How can I feel relieved when you're like this."

But Baili Nian turned his gaze out of the window, "It's late autumn now, and I'm afraid it won't be until the end of the year for the king to go here and return. The western region is cold and humid. Your majesty, take care of yourself and come back soon."

Come back soon, use the word come back.

Sai Jian held Baili Nian's hand, and a warm current surged in his heart. He looked at the person in front of him, more affectionate than ever, and Sai Jian, who always said bad things, spoke seriously this time, very solemnly, "Nian Wait for me, I will return in triumph."

Baililian nodded, his eyes were also serious and solemn, "Okay."

There was a cool breeze blowing outside the window again, and the sound of the wind beating the eaves bells could be heard in the house. The sound of the wind chimes was crisp and sweet, a little cheerful, and it was different from the scene of seeing off. Baili Nian looked at Sai Jian in front of him, his eyes Stained with a touch of melancholy, he stretched out his hand and tied the saber around his waist. Qi Hong's sword tassel dangled in front of his eyes, and Baili Nian's eyes were a little dazed.

"My king has gone." Although Sai Jian was reluctant, he could not stop drinking his horse and waved his troops before the formation.

Baili Nian raised her eyes, "Go."

Someone came to urge the door, Wei Yu stood in front of the door and didn't come in, just knocked on the door, I believe the people in the room knew what he meant by urging.Wei Yu was also dressed in military uniform, and he was also on the list when he sent troops to aid Xi Zhao. Wei Yu was usually clever and mischievous, but at this time his military uniform also showed a lot of heroism. He turned his head and looked at Mo Yan, who was also standing at the door, Smile brightly.

"Mo Yan, I'm going to go with the army to the battlefield to kill the enemy. On the battlefield of Xizhao, my heroic posture, fierce swordsmanship, and my handsome face will appear on the battlefield of Xizhao."

Seeing his excited appearance, Mo Yan pursed his lips. Which boy does not have the heroic spirit to fight for the country, and Mo Yan would be like this when he was still in Dajiang, but he has not yet been able to fight for the country. The country was ruined and the family was destroyed, Mo Yan's face was a little gloomy, which was in stark contrast to Wei Yu's cheerfulness.

Wei Yu also noticed Mo Yan's depression, and he reached out and patted Mo Yan's shoulder, "You are not worried about me, are you? Don't worry, although I really can't beat you, I am still very brave in killing enemies on the battlefield. You will be injured, and you will come back safely!"

Mo Yan raised his head and gave a rare smile, "Well, although your swordsmanship is not cold and fast enough, and you haven't made much progress in these years, you have improved a lot in lightness kungfu. If you are surrounded or captured, you should be able to quickly It shouldn’t be a problem to get away and run away, I’m not worried.”

Mo Yan was analyzing seriously, but Wei Yu wanted to draw his sword to kill after hearing this, what kind of consolation did he say, if Wei Yu didn't know that this person really cared about him, he would think that he was against him.Wei Yu rolled his eyes, "You can't be tactful when you say good things, why are you so blunt!"

"But I'm telling the truth. Your lightness kung fu has indeed improved a lot. Don't worry about running away. If you can't beat it, run as far as possible. Your swordsmanship is not good." The sincere look on the face really deserves a beating!

Wei Yu resisted the urge to draw his sword, and covered Mo Yan's mouth with his hand, "Okay, I have received your concern, so there is no need to say any more, I really don't want to hear it, young master."

Mo Yan pulled Wei Yu's hand away with a sincere face, "But I'm telling the truth."

Wei Yu: "..."

"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Wei Yu gave Mo Yan a blank look. He really didn't want to discuss swordsmanship and escape with him. What's more, he couldn't refute what this person said, so he turned his head and looked at the door, "Wang Why hasn't it come out yet?"

Sai Jian was still in the room, he kept staring at the person in front of him, reluctant to let go of his hand, as if he didn't hear the knock on the door, finally it was Baili Nian who spoke first, and he shook his hand back, " King, go up, don't let the eldest son wait any longer, go early and return early."

Baili Nian's voice was so pleasant that he became obedient, he finally stood up, and he lightly squeezed Baili Nian's palm twice, "Wait for me, I will be back soon. "

"Okay." Baili Nian gave him a consoling smile, and signaled him to go quickly. The 20 troops were still in front of the Gaoming Terrace, and Sai Jian couldn't stay. Smiling, watching him say yes gently, but inexplicably worried in his heart, he always feels that after leaving, he will never see this person again when he comes back.

Sai Jian suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Baili Nian back, "You will wait in Taoyang for my king to come back!"

It's not a question, it's not a question, but it needs an affirmative answer.After the last siege of Nanming, Baili Nian left his side. Maybe that departure left an indelible impression on Sai Jian. Sai Jian always felt that he would leave this time when he returned, and urgently needed an affirmative answer. .

Baili Nian's eyes were also a bit complicated, his slender eyelashes trembled twice, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and in the end there was only one word "um".

Sai Jian finally laughed, he rubbed his hands, and smiled brightly, recently Sai Jian was too worried about the world's major events, and he hadn't smiled like this for a long time.He finally let go of Baili Nian's hand, turned around and left abruptly.Sai Jian's figure at this moment is extraordinarily majestic, and his pace of walking away with his head held high is extraordinarily firm.Baili Nian looked at the figure, not sure if it was because of his serious illness, but felt extraordinarily dazed, the light through the crack of the door fell on him, like a warrior with a halo, the figure finally disappeared in the bright light .

Baili Nian's eyes lowered, his lips pursed slightly.

The people outside the door glanced back, and finally turned and left. Wei Yu followed behind Sai Jian, and patted Mo Yan on the shoulder before leaving, "Waiting for the triumphant return of the young master!"

Mo Yan nodded, and a smile appeared on his ice sculpture-like face, "Take care!"

Mo Yan watched Sai Jian and Wei Yu leave with sincerity in his eyes. Although he didn't want to see Sai Jian, but these days, he knew that Sai Jian was sincerely treating the Lord well, and Sai Jian seemed to be with Gongsun Zhiyue. The first class is different, different kings, as for what is the difference, his brain still can't tell the difference, maybe Qiang Zhu is not one of the three kingdoms that besieged Da Jiang back then, so he has a special liking for it.

Looking at Wei Yu's cheerful figure, Mo Yan smiled, maybe he was infected by Wei Yu, a stinky boy, that's why he had a good impression of Qiang Zhu and Sai Jian.

Standing at the door, Mo Yan suddenly thought of his uncle Jiang Huan, watching Wei Yu follow Sai Jian, he was happy, but also felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He was raised in the Shuo Palace since he was a child, and what he wanted to do the most was to fight with his uncle on the battlefield , but failed to do so.If Da Jiang is still there, and his uncle is still there, he should be as happy as Wei Yu, let's fight in a military uniform, Mo Yan's eyes are a little blurry.

"Mo Yan." Baili Nian's voice came from the room, and Mo Yan, who was in a low mood, came back to his senses. He immediately turned and entered the room, and walked towards Baili Nian, "Is there any arrangement for the Lord?"

Baili Nian had already sat up. Although his face was very pale and his lips were bloodless, his eyes were sharp. He glanced out of the window, "Choose your staff and arrange them in Taoyang City. Part of your eyeliner is transferred to Xizhao, now that the battle is imminent, you must keep a close eye on Xizhao's situation, and you should go to Xizhao yourself and keep an eye on..."

"Yu Wenyang." Baili Nian's eyes were a little cold.

"Yu Wenyang?" Mo Yan raised his head. He thought that Baili Nian would let him keep an eye on Sai Jian or Yue Ye. Mo Yan is not a person who asks many questions.

Baili Nian continued, "There's also Beiyan, who told Mo Ying to guard the Library Pavilion. By the way, has the person who took away Zhongyan's body been found?"

This problem has always been there, but it has never been solved.At first, Baili Nian doubted Zhang You. After all, Zhang You could deduce that he was a descendant of Da Jiang, and he could also shoot the killer to Yeling. Yue Ming's hand couldn't reach Bei Yan, and Zhong Yan's death and Zhong Yan's disappearance were either from Bei Yan's inner circle, or there were forces hidden in the dark.

What forces are still at work in today's world?Baili Nian squinted his eyes halfway, with complicated eyes.

Mo Yan said, "Back to the Lord, Mo Ying has not been able to find out the whereabouts of the corpse. The person who stole the corpse is hiding very deeply. After the corpse disappeared, it has never appeared again. Mo Ying has not found any clues. She... …She has disappointed the Lord."

Mo Yan lowered his head, Mo Ying is his younger sister, although Mo Ying's martial arts are not as good as his, but she is better than his elder brother in wit and ability, this time she failed to find out, Mo Ying is also very depressed, she is better than Mo Ying. Yan has the will to win or lose, and the fact that someone took Zhong Yan's body away under her nose, this incident shocked her deeply.

But Baili Nian waved his hand, "Let her not worry, this matter is also being investigated, but she doesn't have to put all her energy into it, let her focus on other movements of the Beiyan Palace, especially the movements of the ministers and the situation of the Beiyan City. "

Mo Yan nodded, took out a letter from the clothes on his chest, and handed it to Baili Nian, "Don't worry, my lord, although Mo Ying is competitive, she didn't delay in the matter arranged by the lord. This is According to the letter from Beiyan, Yu Wenyang captured Nanming but refused to return to the court as a teacher. This has made the courtiers dissatisfied, but Beiyan has few civil servants, and they dare not speak out their complaints or come to urge Yu Wenyang. "

As Mo Yan spoke, he took out another letter, "It's not just the courtiers who are dissatisfied. The world doesn't know that King Beiyan is dead, only that King Beiyan said he was sick for several months and hadn't gone to court. After returning to the country, the people were already discussing and seemed to be dissatisfied, especially this time Yu Wenyang led troops to attack Xizhao, and brought a lot of grain and grass from Beiyan. Beiyan suffered from drought and flood disasters a few years ago, and the treasury did not have much at all , are forced to expropriate the new crops of the people’s autumn harvest, which naturally arouses dissatisfaction.”

"Nanming's treasury has been used up?" Baili Nian suddenly asked.

Mo Yan shook his head: "Yu Wenyang captured Nanming and opened the Nanming treasury, but the Nanming treasury didn't have much food and grass, and the people of Nanming were afraid that Yuwen Yang would flee one after another. Yu Wenyang wanted to expropriate the food and grass of the people of Nanming, but he couldn't catch anyone. ah."

Hearing this, Baili Nian naturally understood, and he chuckled, "That's right, Nanming Wang Gongsunzhi has always been extravagant, and all he left in the treasury were rare treasures, gold and jade, so there is no food. What's more, Nanming is a In a fertile land, the newly collected grain and grass every year is enough for the royal palace, so why store a large amount of grain and grass, it’s just that Yu Wenyang brutally massacred the city, scaring away the people, and there is no grain to collect.”

This is the case with Yu Wenyang, who only considers combat tactics and weapons, but not other things, but he unknowingly cuts off his way forward.Beiyan claims to have an army of 50, but the food and clothing of these people is not a small burden. In troubled times, gold is not as useful as food and grass. Yu Wenyang's treasury in Nanming is useless, and he has to search Beiyan's people , but Beiyan has never been a fertile place, one or two battles is okay, how can it withstand Yu Wenyang's three or five perennial battles, it has already complained.

Mo Yan: "The people of Beiyan have already migrated. People from the small countries in the north have migrated to the cold northern country. Although the climate there is not as good as Beiyan, at least there is no heavy tax."

"A small country in the north?" Baili Nian muttered these words, and he suddenly looked at Mo Yan, "Could it be that the person who made up his mind on Zhong Yan came from a small country in the north? There are still many vassals in the north of Beiyan." In Beiyan's small country, they have been suppressed for many years, and now Beiyan's government is chaotic, will they come up with any ideas?"

This was something Baili Nian hadn't thought of before. Xizhao in the southern border couldn't bear to be suppressed by Nanming and sent troops, so even if the small countries in the north of Beiyan didn't have the strength of Xizhao, it didn't mean they didn't have the heart to resist, maybe they would He will make up his mind on Beiyan.

Mo Yan didn't think so much, he scratched his head, "My lord, this subordinate doesn't understand."

Although there were only two people in the room, Baili Nian's question was not just to Mo Yan, but to himself. Zhongyan's death was his blind spot, and he couldn't find someone to attack him. Although Zhongyan's death had no effect on him. , but this is always a thorn in his heart, he alone is enough for the dark forces, and he doesn't want others to intervene.

Baili Nian: "Let Mo Ying pick a few people to go to the north to investigate the situation in the small country to the north, don't be careless."

Mo Yan nodded, "Don't worry, the master, the subordinates know."

Baili Nian raised his head, put on his coat and got out of bed. He walked to the door and looked out. Because of Sai Jian's departure, Gao Mingtai seemed much cleaner and less energetic.Baili Nian looked at the clouds in the southwest, the clouds were tinged with blush, a beautiful rouge color, but there seemed to be murderous intent hidden in the rouge clouds, and there would be a big battle in the southwest.

Yu Wenyang has an army of 50, and Yue Wei dispatched all Xizhao's soldiers and horses to have 50, but his 50 can't resist Yu Wenyang's 20 army. Saijian went to help with 20 elite soldiers , can reach the border of Xizhao in a few days.Can Qiang Hao and Xi Zhao join forces to defeat Yu Wenyang?

This matter cannot be concluded. After all, there are too many accidents in the war, and we cannot make a conclusion based on the number of soldiers and horses alone. However, Baili Nian can be sure that Sai Jian will be Yu Wenyang's strongest opponent. He sent troops to aid Xi Zhao. Very good decision.

The wind blew again at the door, and Mo Yan put a cloak on Baili Nian, "The Lord is worried about the war in the southwest?"

"Do you think he will win?" Baili Nian murmured, he was naturally referring to Sai Jian.

Mo Yan did not expect the Lord to ask him such a question, he never thought about it, and never cared about it, Mo Yan raised his head, "Does the Lord want him to win?"

Baili Nian was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Mo Yan to ask himself back, does he want Sai Jian to win?Baili Nian was thinking in his heart, in fact, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses this great battle. For Baili Nian, as long as the Three Kingdoms War is fought, whoever wins or loses will not affect Baili Nian's next plan.In fact, when Sai Jian didn't decide to help Xi Zhao, he had a better plan, let Bei Yan destroy Xi Zhao, and he would control Bei Yan again.But Sai Jian decided to send troops to Xizhao, and Baili Nian needed to adjust his plan. In fact, he could handle both of Sai Jian's options, but the former would be easier to walk, while the latter would be more difficult.

But the former will affect Qiang Zhuo, and the latter is the best choice for Qiang Zhuo.Baili Nian didn't want to disappoint the subordinates who followed him to help Jiang, and he didn't want Qiang Zhu to be in trouble, so he didn't affect Sai Jian's choice, and no matter what Sai Jian chose, he could handle it.Baili Nian didn't know whether he was showing kindness, or just turning a corner in the plan, after all, it was just indifference.

"Mo Yan," Baili Nian's pale and thin lips parted slightly, "Go and bring me the tonic."

"Okay," Mo Yan nodded.Baili Nian is good at using poison, but he also knows how to recuperate. His weak symptoms can be recovered by recuperating on his own. It may not be so efficient, but it is not possible to lie in bed for so long. He has already contracted the cold this time. Been lying down for days.

"Remember to pack up, we should go too." Baili Nian murmured, his tone was very indifferent, but there seemed to be ripples in his eyes, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what was thinking in his heart.

This trip to Taoyang was originally out of the chess game, just like going to the Qiangzhu King City in Cangyu Mountain back then, it was out of plan.Qiang Xun has never appeared on Baili Nian's chessboard, it was Sai Jian who broke in suddenly, suddenly entered his chessboard, and suddenly entered the big dye vat of the Central Plains, where did Qiang Xun go to Sai Jian?Baili Nian doesn't know how to deal with it yet, and maybe he doesn't have the ability to deal with it either. He is not a man of God, he is just a person who comes to punish him.

Mo Yan took a deep look at Baili Nian, "Got it, my lord."
