then Li Sao

The war in the northern border gradually became clear. The Beiling army suffered heavy losses repeatedly. The eldest prince Tuke was shot and killed by a Hanxuan iron arrow made by himself.

Now the only one who can call the shots in Beiling army is the little prince Rama who just rushed over from Beidu.

Rama came all the way in the starry night, his young and handsome face was full of wind, snow and sorrow. He visited his father who had been seriously ill. With red eyes, he told the doctor to take care of him and healed him before returning to his tent for a short rest.

After entering the tent, Rama waved away the left and right guards, leaned on the couch, and smiled slightly.There was an evil conspiracy about his smile.

Rama's appearance was inherited from his mother's Hu family, which made him look softer and slender than the usual Beiling warriors, but this did not mean that he was weaker than them.

Different from the barbaric and brave style of his father and elder brother, he prefers to set up the cover step by step, waiting for the final and biggest harvest.

"Amensuo, do you think the deal I made with that great general made a profit?" He was playing with a small blue vial in his hand, and asked the cold and iron-like attendant beside him.

Amenso was silent and didn't look at him, as if he didn't hear his question, he only turned to him sideways.On this half of the face, there was a deep and long scar that spread all the way to the side of the neck, which looked shocking.

"Why? Don't want to talk to me?" Rama raised his eyebrows, "I know you don't agree with me doing this, betraying my brother and poisoning my father. In your eyes, such a thing is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country."

"..." Amenso still didn't speak, but his clenched fists showed his thoughts.

"Haven't you ever thought, what's the point of fighting this battle?" Rama said, "We've been walking all the way, haven't you seen those old people and children who are desperately digging for iron? They also failed to break into the Dacheng Border Pass, and at this time they are still clamoring to go straight to the Central Plains, isn't it a burden on the people!"

Thinking of all the bleakness he saw, Amenso was a little moved, and turned to look at him, but his expression was still indifferent.

"Of course, I'm not a very kind person. I'm paving the way for myself by doing this." Rama's patience was almost exhausted. He got up and leaned towards him, turned his face and said, "You put this smelly What does it mean to show me your face? You want to scold me? You want to avenge that big brother of mine? He was not as kind as you when he was about to kill me with the cold black iron dagger!"

Amenso's eyes trembled, and he couldn't help looking into his dark eyes.

Touching the scar lightly with his finger, Rama slowed down his tone, and murmured in Amenso's ear: "You are willing to block this knife for me, and won't you allow me to avenge you like this..."

The skin around Amenso's scar was oozing red, and his rationality told him to push away the person who was close to him, but the outstretched arm clearly wanted to embrace him.He was at a loss and could only freeze his body.

Rama glanced at his hand, and let go of him with a smile: "The medicine that Zhou Tang gave is really effective, sad back to the wind... sad back to the wind, Hui Xi, heart grievances and internal injuries. After taking it, my father , all kinds of symptoms seem to be caused by irritability, let him hold his breath, so that I don't have to deal with those foolish officials. However, I really can't wait..."

Amenso restrained his mind: "Your Highness, don't be impatient."

"Originally, I wasn't in a hurry, but after several confrontations with that Zhou Tang, it can be seen that he is not easy to mess with. He wanted to lure me into weakening Beiling's strength, and then push me to the point where I couldn't resist. Let Beiling Ling can't threaten him at all. In that case, I will really become a traitor."

"What does Your Highness want to do?"

"I want to treat him in the same way. Isn't he a prince? He alienates our royal family of Beiling, and I can't make it easier for their royal family." Rama said, "Amenso, replace me Let's take a look at the Dacheng military camp."

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Just as he was about to leave, Rama called him: "Wait!"

Amenso turned his head and waited for orders.

Luo Mo paused before saying: "You...be careful, there are many masters around that person, you have to know how to measure yourself, don't lose your life there, you must come back."

Amenso's eyes softened, and he looked up at him deeply: "Yes, I know."

Rama turned his face away uncomfortably: "Okay, go and come back quickly."

"General, please think about how to respond to King Ning's invitation." Fang Jin reminded.

Zhou Tang had no choice but to put the little emperor's wedding invitation aside, and called the messenger who delivered the wedding invitation and at the same time secretly delivered the secret letter from King Ning.

When the messenger arrived, he bowed respectfully: "My lord has been thinking about it for so long, how is it going?"

Fang Jin rolled his eyes at the side.Well, he is about to consider the wedding night in the bridal chamber.

Zhou Tang pointed to the case: "Is your master trying to win me over? Does he want to borrow my soldiers to help him get back...'things that should belong to him'?"

"My lord is a smart man, he must know how to judge time..."

"I don't need you to tell me whether I'm smart or not." Zhou Tang interrupted him, "Can't your master see that the northern bandits are now invading, and even if I want to help him, I can't spare any troops. Besides Said, the king is outside the Great Wall, and I don’t know if the things he promised me can be fulfilled after returning to Beijing.”

"My lord, the commander of the Beikou fell ill. I don't think it's a serious problem. This battle is probably coming to an end. My master sent me here just to dispel all worries for you. If you have any other requirements, please tell the prince directly, and all the subordinates will definitely report to the master."

Zhou Tang snorted coldly: "Whatever I want, he can afford it? He is too daring to boast. The matter of borrowing troops is a big matter. We will discuss it after the war in the northern border is over. You go back first." have a rest."

The messenger withdrew reluctantly, with discontent in his eyes, feeling that the King of Yue was too ungrateful.

Fang Jin said to Zhou Tang: "It seems that King Ning has lost his composure, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Tang disdainfully said: "Cooperate with him? Heh, he feels that he is condescending to discuss with me. Even a messenger doesn't pay attention to me. How can I dare to stand up to him. My soldiers fight hard To kill the enemy with blood and sweat, in their eyes, they are just a bunch of reckless people who borrow whatever they want, and they come and go when they recruit. I appreciate this sincerity."

"I'm afraid the prince has other ideas." Fang Jin said leisurely.

"Of course." Zhou Tang said confidently, "The little master is still with Zhou Heng, how could I let my people threaten his safety? At most, I will pretend to conspire with him, and try to get the little master away before tearing up with him .”

"It seems that Mu Quan has really worked hard in the court. King Ning is determined to win the throne. He has dealt with him for so long, but he doesn't know how he survived. Fortunately, I heard that the little emperor treats him well."

Zhou Tang glanced at him: "What do you mean?"

Fang Jin smiled wryly: "It's nothing interesting, I just thought about how he would deal with himself if he really betrayed the little emperor for you in the future."

"Luoping is mine, I won't let..."

"Who's out there!"

Fang Jin shouted loudly, and chased him out of the tent in an instant.

Seeing a dark figure quickly blending into the night, he was startled—who is that person?How long have you listened outside the account?What a brilliant lightness kung fu that was able to escape dozens of patrols and listen to the corner of the wall under his nose!

Zhou Tang was also heartbroken, and immediately sent someone to thoroughly check the barracks to see if there were any accomplices.

Fang Jin chased him for several miles, the man obviously didn't want to confront him head-on, he just ran away.

Going on like this is not an option, Fang Jin threw out a few points of cold light from his sleeve, trying to catch that person first.

However, after the man hit a dart, he only had a pause, and his speed increased instead of decreasing.But instead of circling around Jin Geyuan, he went straight to the old city of Beiling.

Fang Jin chased him three miles below the city, not daring to venture forward, fearing an ambush, so he had to retreat.

Back in the tent, he told Zhou Tang about the situation, and Zhou Tang frowned: "Rama, it must be Rama. That Rama is really a poisonous snake, and it will bite back anytime and anywhere, so we have to guard against it!"

Indeed, after he had finished using Rama, he would continue to force Beiling back until they completely surrendered.Now it seems that it may not be that simple.

Amenso's arm artery was stabbed by an iron dart, and he forced luck to run violently, and lost a lot of blood.When seeing Rama, his pale complexion made Rama's face cold at the moment.

"How did I tell you? You are so hurt, do you take my words as a deaf ear!"

"My subordinates are wrong."

"Who made you kneel! Sit down for me! Someone..." Rama wanted to call the doctor over, in order to prevent his father from being suspicious of him again, but finally gave up.

He took the medicine box by himself, and tore open Amenso's clothes to check.

There was a deep blood hole in the tight muscle, and the surrounding skin was a little pale.

Rama carefully cleaned the wound and applied medicine, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is no poisoning..."

Amenso looked at his worry-filled eyes, and his heart softened for a while, and the rapid heartbeat due to running away gradually recovered a kind of throbbing, the familiar and suppressed throbbing in front of this person.

He instinctively grasped the wrist that Rama had bandaged for him.

Rama paused.

Amenso realized that he had overstepped the rules, and quickly withdrew his hand.

Rama didn't say anything, and still didn't give him a good face: "Tell me, what news made you come back in such a mess."

Amen Suo said: "They mentioned a person. For this person, the general of Dacheng did not hesitate to break with his brother."

Rama's eyes lit up: "Oh? Who is it? Tell me in detail."

A month later, Rama proposed peace talks to Zhou Tang.

Zhou Tang refused.

Just when he wanted to go deep into Beiling and continue to stabilize the victory, he suddenly received another secret letter from King Ning.

The letter said:

Xiao Qizi, I never thought that you would have a personal relationship with Luo Ping, who is so charming.

I don't know what kind of sweets he gave you to make you obey him like the emperor?

If you don’t listen to my brother’s good advice, Xiao Qizi, since you rejected my proposal because of him, then I have no choice but to make him disappear.

I hope you will stop being so stubborn.Do it yourself.

When Zhou Tang saw the letter, his face turned pale for a moment, and he almost got on his horse and rushed back to Mocheng immediately.

Fang Jin stopped him: "Rama's side hasn't been settled yet. Are you leaving the army at this time to give King Ning an excuse to take your military power?"

Zhou Tang froze for a moment: "Rama, Rama..." The confusion in his eyes dissipated, he figured it out, and gritted his teeth, "It was Rama who sent him the news."

Rama sold his weakness to King Ning in order to contain his ambitions for Beiling.That's why Beiling proposed peace talks at this time, and he was right.

"Hmph, it's really good to encircle Wei and save Zhao." Zhou Tang narrowed his eyes, "Since he's done so well, I have no choice but to follow his will. When I'm in charge of the world, I'll be with him slowly. Count the bill."

King Ning's desire to make Luo Ping disappear is not a day or two away, but it is more urgent now.

And Luoping has not yet realized the crisis that is about to affect him.Because in his memory, there was no secret war against him.

In the middle of winter night, the wind outside the window whizzed past with snow seeds in it, and there was a humming sound in the cracked window sill, as if someone was crying sadly.

Luo Ping chanted softly: "Sadness returns to the wind, Hui Xi, heart grievances and internal injuries..."

The war at Beiling is about to end. Once Meng Suda dies, his second son Rama can take over Beiling, and between Rama and Zhou Tang, there should be a covenant called "Sorrowful Wind".

King Ning's power is also ready to move, Zhou Tang is coming back soon.

——Unfortunately, not in a triumphant manner.

"Lord Luo, the emperor has called you into the palace, please come to the Zhenyang Hall to face the saint."

"..." Luo Ping sighed and straightened his clothes.

Third watch, Zhenyang Hall.

Is there anything more tormenting than this little emperor?
