lonely king

In the beginning of winter, there is flying snow in the sky, and the fluttering snowflakes are like light goose feathers, falling on the shoulders and the backs of the hands. When they touch the skin, they turn into water, leaving only a faint trace of moisture.This is the first snow after the winter, so it fell down without warning, the sky was still clear, but there were snowflakes, which can be regarded as a strange sight.

The Qiangma army had already marched outside Taoyang City, and the snowflakes began to float at this time. As soon as Sai Jian looked up, he saw the snowflakes, covering the gate of the city. At this moment, Taoyang City seemed extraordinarily quiet, with a kind of An Mi, Sai Jian raised his head with a smile on his lips, Nian'er, the king is back.

Liu Jing was chattering behind Sai Jian. This time the troops were successfully launched, and Qiang Zhu made a lot of money. As Qiang Zhu's important minister, Liu Jing was smiling, and he rode up in front of Sai Jian, "Your Majesty , Although we, Qiangzhu, have won more than a dozen cities by sending troops this time, in terms of the general situation, it is indeed the best choice."

"Well, Dashu is right." Sai Jian prevaricated, he didn't have time to deal with Liu Jing, his mind was full of going back to Gao Mingtai, telling Baili Nian that he had defeated Yu Wenyang and defeated Yu Wenyang. When I returned to Beiyan, I told him my ingenuity in battle, my bravery in battle, and I couldn't wait to go back to Gaomingtai.

Returning triumphantly, Liu Jing was also pleased. He didn't notice Sai Jian's haste and perfunctory at this moment. How to manage a city?"

Sai Jian waved his hand, and rode forward, "Your Majesty can just figure it out, and I believe that Madam Da Shu can arrange it."

The elder of the family was not relentless, "This matter is related to the situation of my Qiang Zhuo. It is not a joke. After the humble minister has figured out a way, I have to ask the king to look at it."

"All right, all right, just figure it out."

Liu Jing frowned, "Why is the king so perfunctory, this is a big deal!"

Liu Jing fell into the same old habit again, babbling endlessly, not to mention that he was in a good mood and talked a lot, so he almost slipped into Sai Jian's ear and talked about it for three days and three nights. Kung fu paid attention to him, and his heart had already flown into Gao Mingtai, but he wanted to fly, but his good servant Liu Jing held him back.

"Your Majesty! Did you listen to what the old minister said!"

Sai Jian pulled Liu Jing's hand away, fearing that he would be entangled by this good minister, "Listen, listen, after the master of the city in the south of Taoyang has developed a method, please send me the memorial. The king will read it, at this moment This king will go back to Gaomingtai first, and the elders will go back to the mansion to find a way."

"Your Majesty!" Liu Jing pulled Sai Jian back, and said earnestly again, "Your Majesty, don't play tricks, this matter cannot be delayed, and the returned army should be rewarded according to their merits. Thinking about going back to Gaoming Terrace? How can you not go to settle down the army horses when you return from the march, isn't your majesty just messing around!"

Sai Jian let out a long sigh, and was so annoyed by Liu Jing that his mind was full of helplessness, "What are you going to do, Master Shu!"

Liu Jing earnestly said, "Your Majesty has to arrange the army before you can go back. The 20 troops followed the King to fight south, and every soldier is fighting for his life. How can the King not be appeased? Of course, he must be appeased first." Army."

While looking at Liu Jing, he glanced at the soldiers who marched neatly behind him. Sai Jian always loved soldiers, and this time the soldiers did follow him to fight the battlefield. gone."

Pulling back the rein, Sai Jian glanced at the direction of Gao Mingtai, turned his head to go to the horse farm, Wei Yu next to him naturally wanted to follow Sai Jian, but Sai Jian rolled his eyes, grabbed Wei Yu's arm and pulled him away. He pulled it in front of him, leaned close to his ear and lowered his voice.

Sai Jian: "Wei Yu, you go back to Gao Mingtai first, and tell Nian'er that the king has been to the horse farm and will return soon, and let him wait for the king."

Wei Yu raised his head: "Mr. Baili should have received the news, is it necessary for this subordinate to report it again?"

Sai Jian raised his hand and patted him on the head, "Go as soon as I tell you, why are you talking so much!"

Wei Yu raised his brows, and his narrowed eyes were full of evil thoughts, "If your majesty is afraid that Mr. Baili will be unhappy and complains that you don't return to Gaomingtai immediately, it's fine if you just say it directly, and you are still beating around the bush like this. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Stinky boy, you've turned the world upside down!" Sai Jian grabbed Wei Yu and shuddered violently, "Thinking that you will be lawless after winning the battle! How dare you tease this king, does this king indulge you too much?"

While hiding, Wei Yu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, this subordinate just said it casually."

"Also!" Sai Jian punched his fist unceremoniously, "Hurry up!"

Wei Yu held his head, "Okay, okay! Don't become angry, my lord, my subordinates will go now, hahaha."

Before Wei Yu left, he made a sarcasm of Sai Jian, and ran away to Gaomingtai as if he was running away. This kid is indeed becoming more and more lawless, but he is as clever as Wei Yu, and he has a sense of proportion and knows how to joke. Sai Jian would not be displeased, and he also knew the status of Baili Nian in Sai Jian's heart, so he ran obediently to Gao Mingtai and told Baili Nian what Sai Jian meant.

Wei Yu also has his own thoughts. He wants to tell Mo Yan about his heroic invincibility on the battlefield, how he shouldered the heavy responsibility, and how he led the army to raid Yu Wenyang, so that Mo Yan, who is so powerful, knows that even though Wei Yu His martial arts and sword skills are not as good as his, but he is still a brave swordsman of Qiang Zhuo, and he is full of pride on the battlefield.

With the mood of wanting to show off to his friends, Wei Yu quickened his pace unconsciously, and only headed for Gaoming Terrace. After entering Gaoming Terrace, he went all the way up the pavilion. He couldn't wait to rush forward and entered the bedroom after a while. , before he had time to take off his armor, he rushed in and shouted Mo Yan's name.

"Mo Yan! Mo Yan! You hero Wei, I have returned from killing the enemy! Hurry up and come out to meet me. I am the heroic general who defeated Yu Wenyang. Do you hear that? Mo Yan?"

Wei Yu walked around the room, but he didn't see Mo Yan, he frowned in confusion, wondering why this kid wasn't there?After thinking about it, Mr. Baili always sent him out. It is normal for him to be away, but Wei Yu's enthusiasm was extinguished a bit, and he turned to Baili Nian's room to tell Baili what Sai Jian had ordered him. Inside twist.

Gently pushing open the door, before Wei Yu could speak, he saw the neat furnishings and an empty room.Wei Yu suddenly felt a little uneasy, and walked into the inner room. The inner room was soft and neatly covered, and there was no trace of sleeping.

It happened that a little maid came in, Wei Yu pulled the maid over and asked, "Where is Mr. Baili?"

The little maid staggered from being pulled, and seeing Wei Yu's serious expression, she didn't dare to delay for a moment to speak immediately, "Go back to General Wei, Bai...Mr. Baili has left."

"Leaving!?" Wei Yu stared, "What do you mean leaving? Did you leave Gaomingtai or Taoyang City? Did you say where you went? Did Mo Yan leave too?"

Countless questions were hurled at the little girl, who was terrified by Wei Yu's appearance, and said tremblingly, "Wei... General Wei, I don't know much about it, just... Mr. Baili suddenly disappeared. The servants don't know if they left Taoyang City, let alone where they went, what... they don't know anything."

"do not know anything!?"

Numerous angers were burning in Wei Yu's heart at this moment, and the excitement of returning from victory was gone, leaving only the suffocated anger in his chest. He grabbed the little maid and tried to calm down his tone, "Then when will he leave, can you stay?" What did you buy? There should be letters, right? You can’t leave without saying goodbye?”

The little servant girl bit her lip and said cautiously, "The day the king sent troops to leave Taoyang... Mr. Baili was gone that night, and the slaves were afraid that the king would be angry when he came back, so they have already searched Gao Mingtai, and... Neither was found."

"Where are the letters? There isn't even a single letter?" Wei Yu didn't believe it.

The little maid looked up at Wei Yu, then quickly lowered her head, fearing to make Wei Yu angry, she had to nod again.

"Oh," Wei Yu sneered, and naturally understood what the little maid meant.Baili Nian and Mo Yan left Taoyang City at night when they dispatched troops. They vowed to wait for them to return in triumph, but they had already made up their mind to leave. That's all.

Wei Yu clenched his fists, his eyes were full of complaints and unwillingness, "There isn't even a letter!" They could leave, but they didn't even have a letter, didn't say anything, didn't leave anything behind, and just left. It's really chilling to say goodbye and disappear without a trace.

Wei Yu didn't know how to tell Sai Jian about this, he swayed into the army horse farm, his brows and eyes were full of disappointment, Wei Yu saw how Sai Jian treated Baili Nian, but Bai Li Nian was Jiang's old man after all , His mind will never be on Qiang Zhu, Wei Yu thought about whether Baili Nian would leave Qiang Zhu, but he never thought that he would leave without saying goodbye at this time, and did not leave a word, not even Mo Yan. Leave a word.

Baili Nian has his country's hatred and family hatred, so it's fine if he doesn't leave a letter to Sai Jian, who is the king of Qiang. Yu pursed his lips, and the corners of his eyes were sullen.

Seeing Wei Yu wandering around the horse farm, Sai Jian looked a little absent-minded, but he didn't suspect anything. After finishing the last thing, he turned around and left the horse farm, and came to Wei Yu, "Nian'er has something to tell you. pass it on?"

Wei Yu was thinking wildly, but he didn't realize that Sai Jian had come to him. He watched Sai Jian open his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

Sai Jian frowned, he didn't like to be twitchy, "Just say what you have to say, why are you still twitchy."

Wei Yu raised his head, his eyes were a bit complicated, and his eyes were slightly dark, "Mr. Baili left Taoyang. On the day the king sent troops to leave Taoyang City, Mr. Baili left Taoyang City. He didn't leave Taoyang City. Only a few words, no letters left, no greetings to anyone, no whereabouts, and no whereabouts."

He finished all the words in one breath, without leaving any doubts for Sai Jian, and told him everything he knew. Wei Yu calmed down after saying these things. The only thing he fears now is Sai Jian, afraid that he will go into a rage and do something. Something inappropriate is coming.Sai Jian still has a youthful heart, although he is much more stable than when he was in Cangyu Mountain, but the seeds of recklessness have always been buried in his heart, if there is a disturbance, it will definitely be bad for Qiang Hao and Sai Jian himself.

After listening to Wei Yu's words, Sai Jian turned his head and left without saying a word. He jumped up and ran towards Gao Mingtai quickly, and his anxiety could be seen in his hasty steps.Wei Yu took a step forward, but he didn't say what he wanted to say, his heart was full of sadness, he complained for Sai Jian, and in all fairness how Sai Jian treated Baili Nian, but Baili Nian never faced each other honestly, every step of the way Calculated, without sincerity.

……

The snow fell more violently, from fluttering lightly to falling down in piles now, and the clear sky just now was blocked by dark clouds, huddling together in darkness, not giving the birds flying in mid-air a breath.When Sai Jian ran into Gao Mingtai's bedroom, his shoulders were already covered with snowflakes. The winter house had not been filled with charcoal fire, and it was colder than the outside. When Sai Jian rushed into the inner room, he saw only an empty room.

Baili Nian did not leave anything behind, all the utensils and objects he had used disappeared, as if they had never existed, Sai Jian was not reconciled, and ran a few more rooms, let alone Baili Nian's person, Not even a trace of him ever existed.Sai Jian sat paralyzed on the cushion, his eyes were a little empty, but he didn't have the expected angry scene.

In fact, Sai Jian was always worried that there would be such a day. From Baili Nian's gentle smile to him before, he felt that he would leave, and it turned out that he did.

Wei Yu chased into the house and saw Sai Jian sitting there, he didn't know what he was thinking without saying a word, and Wei Yu didn't know how to talk to Sai Jian with the letter in his hand.When he was going to the horse farm just now, Sai Jian ran to Gao Mingtai with his front foot, and Liu Jing, the great concubine, stopped him with his back foot. Wei Yu looked at Liu Jing's deep eyes, and the bad feeling came to his heart again.

Wei Yu subconsciously asked Liu Jing, "Did the Great Master know that Baili Nian left Tao Yang?" He didn't know why he would ask Liu Jing, but he couldn't help but feel that Liu Jing would answer him.

Sure enough, Liu Jing nodded, "After Baili Nian left Taoyang, the people at Gaomingtai rushed to send the news to the barracks for fear of being responsible, but I stopped it. At that time, the king was discussing with the generals how to attack Yu Wenyang, I didn't say anything because I was afraid it would affect the king's battle."

Wei Yu frowned. It turned out that this was the reason why there was no news, but he asked Liu Jing again, "The chief is stopping me now, isn't he just talking about this? The chief is stopping Baili Nian to leave The news is not a big deal, why did the chief minister tell me about it?"

Wei Yu felt uneasy, Liu is not a person who cares about personal interests, he will definitely put the big things first, there is nothing wrong with this, and there is no need to talk about it with Wei Yu, and the chief minister has never cared about Baili Nian, even for him There is no reason to say these things with a moderate attitude.Liu Jing really sighed, he patted Wei Yu's shoulder, "There are indeed other things."

Liu Jing took out a letter with a dignified expression. He looked at Wei Yu, "I got it from Taoyang City's news office. After Baili Nian left Taoyang, I sent someone to inquire about his news. When I returned to Tao Yang, there happened to be some news. This is the news sent by Beiyan Kuaima, it is related to Baili Nian, please show it to the king."

Wei Yu looked down at the letter, his heart was beating wildly and he didn't listen. The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. He felt that what was written in the letter was not a good thing. ...Did Baili Nian go to Beiyan, did he...do something important?"

"Yes." Liu Jing was decisive, raised his eyes very complicated, and said in a dignified tone, "Baili Nian killed Yu Wenyang, proclaimed himself emperor and restored Da Jiang."

"what!?"
