After being forced to marry an enemy tyrant

Chang Ling returned to Chenfeng Palace.

Everything in the hall remained the same, except that the herbs in the surrounding lakes withered a lot, everything else was exactly the same as when the elder spirit left, even the firefly sacs hanging on the eaves of the hall were still in their original positions.

After the palace change happened, the servants in Chenfeng Palace were detained together with other palace people, and Shitou returned to Cangjie's side. The huge palace was quiet and empty.

Chang Ling walked into his room with a lamp, and it was spotless inside, and the furniture was as clean as new. It was thanks to Qingluan's constant cleaning.

Chang Ling put the lamp on the table, came to the bookshelf, stepped on the footstool, and moved the whole row of books on the top shelf to the ground little by little. After a while, two thick piles were piled up.

When Zhao Yan approached at dawn, he saw Chang Ling sitting cross-legged in the dark shadow of the glazed light in the dark hall, with a brazier in front of him.

The boy lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were reddened by the charcoal fire, one after another, he focused and earnestly tore the books piled beside him into pages, and threw them into the brazier one by one.

Zhao Yan took a closer look, and saw that the covers of those books were all painted with strange and weird runes, obviously they were not normal cultivation books.Zhao Yan vaguely understood what was going on, didn't speak, squatted down beside him silently, randomly took out a book from the rest of the stack, tore it into pages like the little things, and threw them into the brazier together.

The dancing flames instantly engulfed the pages of the book.

After Chang Ling finished burning a book in his hand, Fang turned his head to look at Zhaoyan, not surprised why he found this place, but asked, "Have you dealt with everything?"

Zhaoyan nodded, reached out and rubbed the boy's hair on top of the fox's ears, and said in a soft voice: "Okay, from now on, I will spend all my time with you."

Chang Ling didn't speak anymore, and continued to immerse himself in his own work, tearing the remaining books into pages one by one, and throwing them into the brazier.When the first ray of light from the sky came in through the window lattice, Chang Ling finished burning the last book.

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Yan asked.

Chang Ling shook his head.

Zhao Yan went to dispose of the ashes in the brazier, and when he came back, he saw that Chang Ling was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, so he walked over, picked him up, and said: "You are too tired, you need to rest, go to bed to catch up on sleep, I'm going to get you something to eat, okay?"

Chang Ling nodded, carried him to the bed, and lay down obediently.

The early morning of this month was still a little cold, and there was no brazier in the hall, so Zhaoyan found a thicker quilt to wrap the little thing tightly before leaving in peace.

Zhao Yan was not familiar with the terrain of the Qingqiu Palace, so he guessed that there might not be any hot food in the dining room at this time, so he dug out the palace wall and went to a small stall outside to pack a portion of wontons, a portion of Lingmi porridge, and a portion of rice porridge. Xiaolongbao is back.

Chang Ling ate half a bowl of Ling rice porridge and two steamed buns, and gave the rest to Zhao Yan.

Zhaoyan laughed: "What, you don't have a good appetite?"

He is more or less aware of the appetite of the little things, and it is obviously not normal to eat such a small amount.

Chang Ling didn't answer, stretched out his arms, hugged Zhaoyan's waist silently, after a while, said: "I'm fine, you go back first. I...maybe sleep a little longer."

"I have nothing to do, you can sleep peacefully, I will be here with you."

Zhao Yan said almost immediately.

The breakup of Da Fan Gogh left a deep shadow in his heart. He couldn't forget how much regret and pain he felt when he sat alone in the Huifeng Palace every night after the little thing left, so that this After losing it once and regaining it, he really wished he could stay by this little thing's side all the time, for fear that if he slack off, he would repeat the same mistakes as before.It is precisely because of this that after finishing the matter last night, he rushed over overnight without delay.

Chang Ling let go, looked up at him for a moment, nodded, didn't insist any more, and obediently lay down and fell asleep.

Zhao Yan was still inexplicably nervous, seeing this, Fang An breathed a sigh of relief.

The little thing still accepted him, he didn't drive him away blindly, and he didn't deliberately alienate him, this realization made him feel ecstatic.

Zhaoyan only drank the half bowl of rice porridge left by Chang Ling, and handed the wontons and steamed buns to Qingluan who came after him, and asked her to take them to the small kitchen in the palace to warm them, so that Chang Ling could wake up eat anytime.

Ever since Qingluan witnessed the scene of the young master running down from the tower and into the arms of the tyrant last night, she has vaguely understood something in her heart, so she didn't express too much shock or surprise when Zhaoyan appeared here .

"What happened last night? Why is this little thing not in Shouyang Palace, but back here."

Qingluan came back from the small kitchen with a pot of tea, just put it on the table, when she heard Zhaoyan ask.

His tone was indifferent, and his eyes were fixed on the long spirit in the bed curtain, as if asking casually.

Cang Jie, who was guarding the door, secretly winked at Qing Luan.Qingluan naturally understood what he meant, the young master lynched Bo Hui without authorization yesterday, no matter what the reason was, it would be detrimental to the young master's reputation if it spread out.Xiyun has strictly ordered everyone to keep their mouths shut and not to mention this matter. If she tells Zhaoyan about this matter now, no matter how deep the tyrant's friendship with the young master is, if it accidentally falls into the ears of a werewolf, it will do no harm. Yu Qingqiu's reputation was greatly damaged.

When Qingluan hesitated, Zhaoyan frowned and said: "It has something to do with Bohui."

It's an affirmative tone, not a question.

Qingluan was taken aback secretly, and looked at Zhaoyan in astonishment.

Zhaoyan didn't have the slightest joy to see the truth, but his brows sank, and he fell into deeper worry.

His previous guess about that incident back then was indeed correct, but...

"You take care of this little thing first, I will come back as soon as I go."

Zhao Yan left a word, got up and left.

After coming out of the medical officer's office, Xiyun returned to his temporary foothold in the palace.The whole night, he sat behind the tea table, frowning and meditating on the shriveled head in the food box.

Yuan Qi, prime minister of the Shui nationality.

Qingqiu is close to the East China Sea, so border disputes are unavoidable. Before the Fox Clan rose up, the Shui Clan, who had already obtained powerful water-type spiritual power from crystal beads, was one of the main foreign tribes that oppressed the Fox Clan.The boundary line of the Shui people once approached outside Qingqiu King City.It wasn't until Bo Yanjun led the Fox Clan to rise up and built an array between Qingqiu and the Shui Clan to take back the spiritual land belonging to the Fox Clan from the Shui Clan.

Back then when he followed Boyan-jun up to the East China Sea to hold talks with the Shui tribe on the boundary between the two tribes, it was Yuan Qi who greeted them.Calculating carefully, he had met this person several times.Throughout the peace talks, this person stood behind Yuan Chao, the chief of the Shui tribe, humble and respectful, like a shadow of Yuan Chao.

Yuan Chao obviously trusts him very much, but whenever he encounters a critical problem, he must first seek the opinion of this person.The peace talks went smoothly, because compared with the rapidly rising Fox Clan, the Shui Clan was already at a disadvantage, and Mr. Boyan offered to negotiate, but it was only a step down for the other party.

After that, the two clans did not interfere with the water of the river, and there was no intersection until the four clans formed an alliance to attack Qingqiu a few months ago. The Shui clan was neutral on the surface, but secretly joined the wolf clan, and built ice thousands of miles on the East China Sea to clear the way for the wolf clan.

At that time, Qingqiu was weak, and with Shuizu's consistent style of falling grass on the wall, it was not surprising that he did this.Xi Yun felt strange that this young master had no direct grievances with the Shui tribe, so why did he kill Yuan Qi and bring Yuan Qi's head to see Bo Hui.When Bo Hui saw this head, he showed a horrified and horrified expression, and why.

He originally wanted to ask more things from Bo Hui's mouth, but unfortunately the other party fainted after seeing Yuan Qi's head, suddenly screamed and went crazy, and yelled "Yuan Qi" and "ghost".

"Master."

When it was almost dawn, Wei Feng came in from the outside, glanced at Xi Yun's face, and said: "What the doctor meant, Bo Hui's tendons and hamstrings can barely be connected for a show, but the meridian is completely abolished. If there is a public trial today, I am afraid it will not be concealed."

Xiyun frowned.

Wei Feng tentatively suggested: "If the commander-in-chief is really worried, why not postpone the public trial..."

"No."

Xiyun vetoed without hesitation.

"A country cannot be without a king for a day. If the wolf mysterious spirit cavalry is still standing outside Qingqiu city today, if Bo Hui is not convicted for a day, the new fox emperor will not be able to succeed, and the hearts of courtiers and people will not be stable. Within a few days , There is bound to be a big mess. As the commander in chief, I can't take this risk because of my own selfishness."

Wei Feng continued to look at his face, and said hesitantly: "But once there is a public trial, the young master's lynching of Bo Hui will be exposed, and the elders of the clan will definitely have prejudice against the young master. How to choose someone to succeed the Fox Emperor? Could it be that the commander-in-chief really has the heart to see the Fox Emperor fall into the hands of the branch?"

Although the border guards have always been critical of this young master, but after all, it is the only blood left in the world by Mr. Boyan. Before the elder spirit was young, it was fine to let Bo Hui temporarily take over the throne of the fox emperor. Now the young master has grown up. As an adult, he also performed the coming-of-age ceremony. If he handed over the throne to the branch children to do it, it would be really aggrieved.

Xiyun's complexion changed, and he reprimanded: "Although the border guards have the qualifications to decide the fox emperor together with the clan elders, the fox emperor's throne is not the border guard's private property. The choice of who will be the fox emperor is not based on who he is first. His blood, and more importantly, his character and heart."

Wei Feng knelt down in shame, but still said with some anger: "The last general is just not reconciled, after all, the young master..."

Xi Yun said solemnly: "Even if he is the only blood left in the world by Mr. Boyan, if his intentions are not correct, and he has no tolerance and love for others, this commander will not—"

"Snapped."

A crisp applause.

Zhao Yan strode in, and said with a slight smile: "General Xi is high-spirited, upright and selfless, which really makes me admire."

Xi Yun sneered: "Your Majesty, do you really regard my Qingqiu Palace as your wolf clan's back garden?"

The corner of Zhaoyan's lips curled up, and he sat down opposite him indifferently, Shi Shiran said: "I came here today to discuss with General Xi about important matters concerning our two clans, but I really didn't come to visit the garden. "

Xiyun waved his hand outward.

Wei Feng understood, picked up the sword, and got up to leave.

Xiyun fetched an empty tea bowl, filled it with tea, pushed it in front of Zhaoyan, and said bluntly: "Then please tell me, now that Chu Yunfeng has been arrested, when will Sirius' mysterious spirit cavalry withdraw from my Qingqiu city?" Walk?"

"There's no need to discuss such a trivial matter."

Zhaoyan looked directly at Xiyun, his eyes suddenly revealed an unprecedented light and sharpness.

"As long as General Xi is willing to exchange someone, let alone withdrawing troops, I will return Beiyang City to Qingqiu unconditionally."

Xiyun was startled.

He knows what it means to return Beiyang City, and Zhaoyan should know better.

That is almost tantamount to allowing the border guards to take back the entire northern border line of Qingqiu without any effort, and it is also tantamount to cutting off the connection between the Yu and Chiyou clans and their own clan in a disguised form.

Afterwards, it will be much easier for the border defenders to recover Leiyang, Bayang, Bingyang and other cities, without worrying about being attacked.In other words, even if he didn't take the initiative to attack, the Yu clan and Chi You would not last long without supplies, and there would be chaos inside.The remaining Suzaku was naturally nothing to worry about.

Xiyun thought of something, his face darkened suddenly, and he sneered: "If you said that I am the young master of Qingqiu, there is no need. The king humiliated his ministers to death, and even though the border guards were defeated by you, they would not act as traitors for glory. thing."

"Not the little thing."

Zhaoyan still stared at Xiyun, and said: "I want to win the emblem."

"As long as General Xi is willing to hand over the person to me and let me handle it, the Xuanling cavalry will immediately withdraw from Qingqiu."

There was a brief silence in the room.

Whether it is asking for a long spirit or a Bo Hui, it can be called an extremely unreasonable request.

But probably because this request was even more absurd and unbelievable, Xiyun was not angry for the first time, only took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "This commander needs a reason."
