Heaven and earth return to one

There was no problem with forming an alliance. Li Yunke and Yin Zhan chatted more and more smoothly, and soon settled the matter. Yin Zhan also said that he would ask his bodyguard to go back to get his imperial seal tomorrow, and hereby reply an alliance letter, writing Cang Xun envoy sent to Yingzhong.

After the two talked about it, they directly called you and me, as if they had been close friends for many years.

After the matter was settled, Li Yunke remembered his assassination again.He originally suspected that they were from Beimo, but when he got here and heard about Yin Baizhu's rebellion, he was not so sure.

"Have you heard about my assassination on the road?" Li Yunke asked him directly, "Is it possible that those killers in white clothes were sent by Yin Baizhu to kill me in order to prevent us from forming an alliance?"

Yin Zhan denied it without thinking, and said, "No, he doesn't have a killer under his command. And if he wants to stop it, wouldn't killing me be more beneficial to him than killing you?"

Zhang Lixin, who had been listening for a long time, interrupted: "Your killers are so well-known, why don't you ask them to deal with Yin Baizhu?"

"Do you think I'm reluctant? Do I seem to be the kind of person who would soften his heart just because of such a blood relationship?" Yin Zhan's eyes were slightly cold, "He is also a member of the royal family, and he has been trained to control killers since he was a child, although in the end he can only inherit The man on the throne takes over all the killers, but he knows everything about how the killers should act, what methods they use to hide and kill, etc."

Li Yunke nodded, "That means this sharp blade can't pierce his heavy armor."

Yin Zhan lowered his head halfway, "Yin Baizhu raised his troops to attack Baozhou. Although my men can do their best to stop him for a while, in terms of cruelty, I lost him too much. I can imagine the ending now. It's just... ..." He bit his lower lip, "Where he goes, the people live in dire straits. If I wait here for him, maybe half of the people in Cangxun 36 Prefecture will die under his iron hooves, and Jinxiu Jiangshan will also be swept away by the flames of war. It's all ruined."

Zhang Lixin looked at the shadows cast by his half-drooped long eyelashes, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he felt that no matter where he started to say, he seemed pale and powerless.

"After forming an alliance, you can ask my brother Huang for help, and ask him to allow Li Xin to lead troops for reinforcements," Li Yunke said, "It's just that Brother Huang shouldn't do much, but as long as he is willing to let Li Xin help out of face, it's fine. Don't move me to Chengning soldiers and horses, I believe that our Generalissimo can fight a beautiful battle for you."

Yin Zhan turned to look at Zhang Lixin: "Are you willing?"

Zhang Lixin avoided his shining eyes and said, "It's not something I want to do or not. Everything must be obeyed."

Yin Zhan smiled, "As long as you are afraid of him in the first battle and tell him to return to Qingzhou, I don't plan to destroy his army, and I don't expect to defeat him in one fell swoop. After all, it doesn't happen overnight, and Bei Mo He still wants to frame me, I can't let myself be busy with the war at this time. And I... I'm afraid I don't have the energy to fight with him for several years."

Zhang Lixin clenched his fist unconsciously.

Li Yunke gave him a wink, "When you meet someone worth cherishing, give more care, don't wait until later to look back and regret it."

Zhang Lixin didn't seem to hear what he said, and didn't react at all.

Yin Zhan sighed softly, and his faint smile showed a bit of bitterness.

"Do all the tricks," Li Yunke brought the topic back, "After two days, when you recover a bit, I'd better go to the palace and discuss the alliance in detail in front of your courtiers."

Yin Zhan said: "Then I will detain you in the palace on the grounds that Zhang Lixin must be guaranteed when he leaves the southern border, and I will release him when he comes back."

"In this way, I can go back earlier." Li Yunke nodded and said, "Thank you for this."

Zhang Lixin said: "If someone from the emperor finds out that you, who should be in Cangxun, have appeared in Yingzhong, wouldn't something big happen?"

Li Yunke straightened his chest, raised his jaw and said, "When I don't want to be discovered by others, who can find me?"

"Then you have to come to Cang Xun again when I come back? Pretend to be released, and then go back with the rest?" Zhang Lixin was tired of saying it, "The longest I've been here is only half a year, maybe it will be faster , why are you bothering?"

Before Li Yunke could speak, Yin Zhan said indifferently: "You don't have a sweetheart, how can you understand the feeling of worrying about someone?"

Zhang Lixin: "..."

Li Yunke stood up with a smile, and patted Zhang Lixin on the shoulder, "There are people here tonight, so where should I sleep?"

"I'll take you..." Zhang Lixin wanted to stand up but was caught by Yin Zhan again.

"Just say what you want. I'll find it myself." Li Yunke bent down and said in a low voice, "I think he's not feeling well. Don't leave tonight and take care of him."

Zhang Lixin said uncomfortably: "Someone can take care of me, I..."

Li Yunke slapped him on the back, "Where is it?"

Zhang Lixin was helpless, and said: "Walk down for a mile, and you can see three tents set up together. I have slept in the middle one for the past two days, and you can pick the other two."

Yin Zhan waved at him, "My lord...Brother, I won't see you off."

Zhang Li's novice hands trembled, "What did you call him?"

"Brother, isn't he your sworn brother?"

"He's my big brother, but when did he become your big brother?"

"what is the relationship?"

"..."

"Hey, you have to come back as soon as possible, you know?" Enough with the quarrel, Yin Zhan lay down under the quilt and said listlessly.

Zhang Lixin twisted a towel to wipe his face, "Go to bed early, if you still look the same when you wake up tomorrow, go and show it to the doctor."

"The doctor can't take care of my illness." Yin Zhan yawned lazily, "I'm serious, don't wait too long, or you might not be able to see me when you come back."

Zhang Lixin frowned, and said: "Even if you send the letter requesting Chengning's help and the alliance letter tomorrow, and wait for the emperor to agree to send it back, it will be a month later. I will have arrived by then." It is impossible for you to take care of your side on the battlefield in the western region, and with Yin Baizhu's strength, you cannot wait for me for half a year."

Yin Zhan vaguely understood what he was going to say, his sleepiness was dispelled a lot, and he said pleasantly, "You mean..."

"In the past few days, before I leave, I will first think of a way to frighten him. No matter what, I have to make him dare not use troops again in a short period of time. I will talk about the rest when I come back."

Yin Zhan smiled, "You really care about me."

"..." Zhang Lixin directly covered his face with the quilt, "Sleep with you!"

Everything was well planned, but reality doesn't always go according to plan.

Zhang Lixin stayed with Yin Zhan until the end of Yinshi. He went back to his tent and slept until noon. When he came back again, he found that Yin Zhan was still awake.

He thought this person was exhausted from staying up all night, so he didn't wake him up, but it was late when he came back from the camp tour in the afternoon, and Yin Zhan still showed no sign of waking up, so he couldn't sit still.

The military doctor was sent to the tent again, and after two hours, no one could see what kind of disease Yin Zhan had, and the needle couldn't wake him up.

He just fell asleep like that, his breathing was so weak that it seemed that he would stop at any moment.

Zhang Lixin's mind was a little empty.

Yin Zhan's health is not good, and there are always minor illnesses, sometimes cough and fever, sometimes cold hands and feet, and sometimes heartache.Whenever he felt uncomfortable, he would always come to Zhang Lixin to stay here for a few days before leaving. Zhang Lixin didn't think there was anything wrong with him every time, he just treated him like a little boy who was tired of staying in the palace Only then will they find excuses to run outside.

But this time, something was really unusual.

At this time, Zhang Lixin was not thinking about the serious consequences that would be caused if the lord of a country really did not wake up in his camp. Suddenly, the idea of ​​wanting to keep him and protect him came into being.

Yin Zhan couldn't wake up without warning, no matter how anxious Li Yunke was about his own affairs, he had to let it go for a while.

Seeing that although Zhang Lixin looked calm, he obviously couldn't take care of many things, so he had to help him ask the two people who sent Yin Zhan here to see if they knew what was going on.

Unexpectedly, those two people were not surprised when they heard about it, they only said that the king would wake up after three days of sleep.

Unexpectedly, they were really talking about it.

As soon as Yin Zhan opened his eyes, he saw the face that had been accompanying him in the dream frowning and looking at him, and he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Zhang Lixin didn't give him a good look, and said: "How long have you been awake, and you must come to me to make up for it?"

Yin Zhan didn't say anything, and turned a deaf ear to his questioning. He called the two people he had brought and asked them to take his imperial seal.

The next day, the alliance letter from Cang Xun's side was sent out.

After another three days, Yin Zhan had lived here enough and his face looked better, so he asked the guards to send him back to the palace at night.

Before leaving, he didn't tell Zhang Lixin why he slept for so long.

Five days later, Lord Cangxun met Prince Chengningduan in Cangxun Palace, and the two sides discussed the matter of forming an alliance.However, because Marshal Zhang Lixin of Chengning wanted to lead his troops to the western region, Lord Cangxun "stayed" Prince Duan in Cangxun Palace in order to guard against his alleged conquest of the western region, which would actually be detrimental to Cangxun. state.

It was the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and the ten guards who followed behind were guarding the two civil servants of the Ministry of Rites before they arrived at the southern border.

It was night, Li Yunke borrowed a set of night clothes from Yin Zhan, thanked him solemnly, and left the palace.

He originally thought that he should see Zhang Lixin again before leaving, but before he left Baozhou, he was told by Qin Shaoshang that there was news from Kang Hui Xiangduo that Nangongxuan took his son and left the palace to live in the Xiangzhou sub-altar , that place was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

Li Yunke was anxious and angry, and couldn't care about Zhang Lixin anymore, so he rushed back overnight.
