Emperor made a pair

Long Teng and Da Li are about to start a battle, so it stands to reason that Zhao Haiqing shouldn't be in danger at such a time, but he looks like he has his own plans in mind, and Yun Tian can't say much.

Tens of miles further north is the border between the two countries.The two met a river on the way to Dali, and Yuntian finally washed his face happily, revealing his true face that had been hidden for a long time.

When we arrived in Dali, it was completely dark.A row of strong men with big arms and round waists stood guard at the gate of the city. I don't know what Zhao Haiqing took out. The guards looked at them and respectfully let them in with their horses.

Yun Tian wondered: "Why did this person easily let the general of the enemy country in? Didn't he check it?"

Zhao Haiqing shook his head pretending to be mysterious, took the reins, and rode with Yuntian on the streets of Dali King City.

Sure enough, the country beyond the Great Wall is very different from the Central Plains. There are no pavilions, and most of the dwellings are tents.But although they are tents, they look brightly colored, spacious and sturdy, far from being comparable to tents during marching and fighting.

The most common plant in Dali is something called "Dragon Wing Grass". There are several clumps growing in front of almost every house here.The leaves of the Dragon Wing Grass were like radiating spikes, and it smelled of a strange cold fragrance.

Zhao Haiqing said: "This grass can be used to make wine, the taste is very good, I will show you to try it later."

There is a square in the center of the royal city. From a distance, the flames are soaring into the sky. When I walked in, I found that there was a huge bonfire there, and a circle of people were drinking and eating meat.

Most of the local men are big and strong, and they are even more aggressive when they wear jackets made of animal skins.Zhao Haiqing was dressed in a battle armor and a cloudy robe with wide sleeves. The two of them were mighty and handsome, but they attracted the attention of several young girls.

Yun Tian thought they would be excluded and was a little worried, but when Zhao Haiqing opened his mouth, he actually communicated with them in the local language.

In Yuntian's impression, the people of Dali are a somewhat barbaric nation, which probably has something to do with the rumors Yuntian heard in Longteng.However, seeing them today, Yun Tian found that they were very enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the smiles on their faces were sincere and friendly, which surprised him a little.

When Yun Tian was curiously guessing the content of the conversation between Zhao Haiqing and the people of Dali, he suddenly heard a loud smile coming through the air: "Hahahaha──The prince really kept his promise and did not disappoint me!"

Following the sound, I saw a very heroic man walking out of the largest tent.He has a high nose and deep eyes, a head of slightly curly black hair loosely draped over his shoulders, a tiger tooth necklace around his neck, wide shoulders and narrow waist, his body is like a leopard, his appearance is heroic and domineering.

Zhao Haiqing touched his fists with him, and introduced him: "This is my princess."

King Dali said "Oh?" and looked at Yuntian.

He originally thought that the male concubine married by King Ning would be a womanly man, like those who sing songs, but he didn't expect this young man to be good-looking, but he had a heroic spirit in his brows, and his gestures were quite bold, compared to him. It is much more pleasing to the eye than imagined.

"Concubine Ning, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Prince Dali put one hand on his shoulder, and gave Yuntian a friendly salute, and Yuntian also hurriedly cupped his fists to greet him.

Few of the locals could understand the Central Plains dialect. Seeing that the king treated these two outsiders with extra courtesy, he looked at them with curiosity.

Although it is not as rich as the Central Plains, the living conditions of the lord of a country are not that bad.Yuntian followed Zhao Haiqing into Wang's Tent, only to find that there was something strange inside.

What surprised him the most was not the rough decorations, nor the unique beauties outside the Great Wall, but that King Dali actually kept a mighty white tiger as a pet!

Yun Tian looked at the king of beasts docilely at the feet of King Dali, not to mention being envious.Seeing him staring at the white tiger, Zhao Haiqing shattered Yun Tian's thoughts with one sentence: "No one can touch this tiger except the king. No one it bites will survive."

Yun Tian looked away awkwardly, and then turned his attention to the roasted whole lamb that was just presented.

The two ate and drank enough under the kind hospitality of King Dali, and Zhao Haiqing went to the military tent with King Dali to discuss matters.

Up to now, Yuntian can more or less guess what common interests between these two people are driving them to cooperate, but such important matters related to the country have never been in his consideration, so Yuntian consciously slipped out of the door to relax Digestion.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Haiqing returned to the tent arranged by King Dali.

Yun Tian just fell into a drowsy sleep, and habitually grabbed his arm and asked, "Is the matter over?"

"The talk is over." Zhao Haiqing paused for a moment, kissed his cheek and said, "Yuntian, I need you to do me a favor."

"What's the matter? Let's talk about it, we are still so secretive between the two of us." When Yun Tian heard that Zhao Haiqing needed him, he immediately regained his energy, and Gu Lu sat up straight.

"I heard that there is a Wujin Mountain in Fengxiang, which is rich in fine iron, and most of the refined iron is made of magical weapons. Is there such a thing?"

Yun Tian was slightly taken aback, and said vaguely: "It seems... I've heard of it... Otherwise, I'll write a letter back and ask?"

He came across time, so naturally he didn't know much about Fengxiang's background.Zhao Haiqing didn't doubt it, but there was an anxious look on his brows: "I'm afraid it's too late, we urgently need a batch of weapons now, if Fengxiang is willing to provide them, then my cooperation with Dali will go much smoother."

Yun Tian boldly guessed: "Hai Qing, do you want to attack Zhao Xuanyu's army with Dali and completely destroy his imperial power?"

Zhao Haiqing's eyes flashed, and he praised: "You are indeed my princess."

Yun Tian thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly: "Okay, I'll go back to Fengxiang tomorrow to talk to Brother Huang about it."

Zhao Haiqing took off his battle armor, got into bed and hugged him, sighed a little tiredly and thankfully, "Fortunately, I have you..."

Yun Tian raised his head, and found that his eye circles were black and blue, his temple hair was messy, and he looked a bit haggard.Presumably, Zhao Haiqing had a very bad time during the days when they were separated.

"Don't worry, Brother Huang has long been overwhelmed by your brother's big-mouthed guy. If you promise him to reduce the annual tribute, he will definitely be happy to cooperate with you."

Zhao Haiqing smiled, "I hope so."

When he said these words, his eyes instantly burst into a radiance of absolute confidence, and he had the aura of a king looking down on the world.

Yun Tian suddenly had a picture of Zhao Haiqing wearing a dragon robe and all the officials kneeling in front of him.This man is born handsome, if he ascends to the throne, what kind of demeanor will he be?

"Your Majesty, when you become emperor, what kind of official position do you plan to award to your ministers?"

Zhao Haiqing pinched Yuntian's nose and said with a smile: "Are you interested in the position of empress? This king will not accept concubines again, the entire harem is yours."

Yun Tian gave a cut to express his disdain, "I'd better open my hotpot restaurant, making money is more fun than being a queen."

The next day Zhao Haiqing hurried back to the barracks, while Yuntian and Duan Hongfang went to Fengxiang to ask his brother for weapons.

I haven't seen him for half a year, the former Prince Fengxiang has ascended the throne, and he looks more and more bulging.The crown princess became a queen, and she was also a little bit fat, Yun Tian almost didn't recognize these two fat guys at first sight.

"Brother Yuntian...?" Zhonghuang Yifei was very surprised by his arrival, "How did you think of coming back to visit relatives..."

Yun Tian coughed and said, "How is Brother Huang?"

After he "married", he became so normal that Zhong Huang Yifei immediately opened his mouth wide in astonishment.Yun Tian felt terrible, forgot that he was a fool before, and quickly lied: "I went to Longteng, and General Xiaoqi found a genius doctor to prescribe a few doses of medicine for me, and my head will be healed."

Zhonghuang Yifei grinned and nodded: "It seems that King Ning treats you well, so I don't worry about it."

Yun Tian contacted him for a while with brotherhood, then cut to the chase and said: "Brother Huang, I'm here this time to ask you to borrow some weapons."

He explained why he came, and Zhonghuang Yifei thought about it for a long time before carefully asking: "King Ning...can he really win? If he loses, Zhao Xuanyu will never let you and me go. Wang didn't have a good time either."

Yun Tian stood up and walked around twice, then said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang, which general does Long Teng think can defeat King Ning? He has everything ready this time, and he only owes Dong... only weapons, and even Dali has agreed to cooperate with him Brother Huang, what else is there to worry about? What's more, every time Feng Xiang pays the annual tribute to Zhao Xuanyu, it almost empties the national strength, Brother Huang is really willing?"

Zhonghuang Yifei is naturally not reconciled. In his dreams, he wished that Zhao Xuanyu would fall to his death. Before, he was afraid of the supernatural power of the general Xiaoqi, so he could only obey silently. But now even Zhao Haiqing himself has rebelled. He really has nothing to do. You can hesitate.

It took only half an hour for Yuntian to finalize the matter of weapons. The two parties solemnly signed a contract. Zhonghuang Yifei promised to donate [-] pieces of first-class weapons and dozens of magic weapons to General Xiaoqi. After the matter is completed, Zhao Haiqing must fulfill today's promise.

After dinner in Fengxiang Palace, Yuntian found that Duan Hongfang kept frowning and remained silent.This is very inconsistent with his usual style, Yun Tian couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother Duan, what's the matter?"

Duan Hongfang let out a sigh of relief, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about senior brother, I haven't heard from him for so long, I'm afraid..."

When he mentioned this matter, Yun Tian also felt flustered.Nearly a month had passed since they left Longteng, but Ao Chenyin disappeared as if he had fallen into the sea, which was really worrying.

Duan Hongfang said: "I should go back and have a look, maybe the senior brother has revealed his identity."

It is obviously irrational to go back to Long Teng at this time, Yun Tian comforted him and said: "Brother Ao's disguise technique is the best in the world, how could it be exposed so easily? Maybe he has already escaped and is rushing to the barracks? You will only know when you go back at this time." To scare the snake away."

Duan Hongfang also felt the same, so he nodded slowly, "If you can't wait for the senior brother before the battle, the young master will be the first to break into the palace to find him."

Although the two made different versions of conjectures, it turned out that they really worried too much.

When Yuntian and Duan Hongfang rushed back to Zhao Haiqing's barracks with the weapons presented by King Fengxiang, they found that Ao Chenyin was already sitting in the barracks peacefully drinking tea, looking at ease.

This time, he disguised himself as a military adviser, with a fairy beard, which was said to be inspired by one of Zhao Xuanyu's cronies.

Duan Hongfang saw that the senior brother didn't shed even a single hair, so he immediately felt relieved, and sat down on the stool and let out a deep breath: "Scared me to death! Senior brother, you are really good at hiding! I was worried all the way, afraid of you How could it be taken advantage of by that disciple Zhao Xuanyu..."

"In order not to fall into the trap of others, I have no choice but not to contact you." Ao Chenyin raised his eyebrows, "Speaking of Zhao Xuanyu, he has been very busy recently and has no time to talk to me, so I have never had a chance to show off my disguise technique , what a pity."

Yun Tian wiped off his cold sweat, feeling a little speechless towards Ao Chenyin, "Since everyone is fine, it will be great, what plans do you two have in the future?"

Duan Hongfang thought for a moment, and said: "If the prince can win this battle, I will go back to see the master with my senior brother."

Upon hearing this, Yun Tian immediately salivated and said, "I also want to go back with you..."

Duan Hongfang laughed loudly: "Why, the heart of apprenticeship is still not dead? My master is useless. He said every day that our group of disciples would piss him off. He will never accept apprentices again, but you can consider becoming a master uncle." Under the sect, you ate the elixir of Master Uncle and took such a big advantage, you should show something, right?"

It is also very good to have a master who can refine elixir. The more Yun Tian thought about it, the more he felt that Duan Hongfang's uncle was a good choice, so he said happily, "What's his old man's name? What do he like? I'll prepare some gifts."

"We don't even know the name of the uncle. He calls himself Baifeng Daoist, and the master calls him a crazy old man."

"..." Yuntian sweated profusely.

"The uncle doesn't have any special hobbies, he just loves alchemy. If you can find some rare medicinal materials for him, the uncle will be very happy."

Yun Tian nodded, silently calculating what good things are in Zhao Haiqing's treasure house.

Five days later, Zhao Haiqing received news that Wei Zhenshan had moved the family members of some important generals to a safe place and was trying to find a way to lure Zhao Xuanyu's army out of the imperial city.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhao Haiqing immediately ordered the two lieutenants sent by Zhao Xuanyu to monitor him to be secretly imprisoned.

Those two people obviously didn't expect Zhao Haiqing to do this. They were so frightened that their hands and feet trembled and they tried to calmly yell at him. Yun Tian sat beside him and dug his ears and said, "My lords, save your energy, water resources are very scarce now. , You have nothing to soothe your throat even if you scream."

Yuntian turned into a servant, and they naturally didn't know that he was Princess Ning, so they all spit at Yuntian: "What are you, you dare to criticize this general! Zhao Haiqing, you traitor, His Majesty will definitely punish you The Nine Clans, let your whole family suffer a terrible death!"

Yun Tian smiled and said: "You are all civilized people, how can you defecate anywhere? Also, King Ning is your elder brother's brother, if he wants to kill the Nine Clans, wouldn't he kill himself too?"

"Zhao Haiqing! Your wife is now in His Majesty's hands. If you dare to treat us like this, you are not afraid that Your Majesty will kill Princess Ning?!"

Zhao Haiqing kept reading the book of war indifferently, and Yuntian was amused again, "You two are really noble people who forget things too much. On Buze Day, you smiled like a flower and toasted me, but now you don't recognize me. Here I am, could it be Alzheimer's disease?"

They looked at each other, and suddenly realized that the boy's voice sounded familiar.

"No, it's impossible... How could you be... Princess Ning..."

"With eyes but no pearls, a child cannot be taught." Yun Tian walked away disappointed.

The next day, Zhao Haiqing and Dali Wang Nuier led the Shence Army and a fierce cavalry to set off in a mighty manner. Two military flags were hunting and flying in the sky. The blood of every soldier.

Zhao Xuanyu's crimes of disregarding human life, forcing his elder brother to marry a man, and even occupying the emperor's wife have long been spread in the army, not to mention that his practice of exterminating the surrounding countries has already aroused public anger, so this time Zhao Haiqing led his troops to crusade against Emperor Longteng , has been supported by many parties.

In order to gain the trust of other countries, Yuntian wrote many suggestions for Zhao Haiqing, including business, intermarriage, reducing annual tribute, sending some talents to those poorer places, etc., some of which are very practical and have been accepted by Zhao Haiqing with pleasure. Accepted, Yuntian received another "vigorous praise" for this, of course, the content of this praise is a bit unrestrained, so I will not mention it.

This vigorous battle for the throne lasted for three months. Due to the loss of popular support and strategic mistakes, the first emperor Zhao Xuanyu was finally defeated by the sword of General Xiaoqi.

Since then, the country has changed hands, and King Ning Zhao Haiqing ascended the throne of God, and held a grand enthronement ceremony at the end of spring.

At the beginning, there were naturally a lot of things that he needed to rectify. There was a big change of officials in the DPRK and China, and young people replaced some of the old-fashioned and old-fashioned officials.Although there are always conflicts between the young faction and the old man's faction, the young faction is more innovative and enterprising, while the older faction has rich experience and is more stable in handling things.At this time, Yuntian and Zhao Haiqing always racked their brains to adjust from it, trying their best to achieve a satisfactory result for both parties.

It will be another month until everything starts to get on the right track.

One day Zhao Haiqing came back from court, and when he was revising the memorial in the imperial study, he suddenly saw a notebook that gave him a headache.

In fact, this matter has been mentioned repeatedly before, but the situation was still a bit chaotic at that time, so he temporarily put it aside.

Now that he had no reason to procrastinate, he could only seriously pick up this notebook and think about it.

The memorial said that the central palace must not be left without an owner, and the emperor should have a queen.

Zhao Haiqing has no other wives besides Yuntian, but none of them recommended Yuntian to be queen.

──This is also natural. The reason why the two got married before was because of Zhao Xuanyu's order. Now that the mountain pressing on their heads has disappeared, Zhao Haiqing can naturally marry the woman he likes.Although some of the new officials are advanced in thinking, it is too shocking to let a man be the queen no matter how you think about it.In addition, the fact that Zhao Haiqing handed over the letter of divorce to Yuntian did not know how to get out, so some people made a fuss about it, insisting that the two have nothing to do with each other now, and the emperor should choose one of the minister's daughters. A woman with both skills should become a queen, give birth to a son-in-law as soon as possible, and cultivate a prince as soon as possible, so that she can be a model for all generations.

But at the time, Princess Ning Yuntian, no one remembered his achievements.Of course, no one will associate him with the position of queen.

Yuntian's current status in the palace is not without embarrassment. Zhao Haiqing has not given him a title since he ascended the throne.In fact, Zhao Haiqing originally wanted Yuntian to be the queen, but the country has just stabilized, and he can't risk the world's disgrace to make a man the queen, but if he doesn't make Yuntian, he has no other choice.

Yuntian still lives in the former Prince Ning's Mansion.Zhao Haiqing was busy with state affairs, and the two hadn't seen each other for three days.Although Yun Tian was happy for him, but he was not without loss in his heart.

Yan Si, Deputy Director Song and the accountant have all entered the palace, and now they all have official positions. Lingkunzi inherited his father's business and became a trainee chef, dealing with all kinds of food every day.Mingshu and Huiyu looked in the direction of the palace every day, and they were also looking forward to when Zhao Haiqing would bring Yuntian into the palace.

Over time, Mingshu, who was astute, seemed to have discovered something, and told Huiyu not to mention the matter of entering the palace in front of Mr. Yuntian in the future.

Now he is not Concubine Ning anymore. From outsiders' point of view, he is someone who has nothing to do with Zhao Haiqing. Everyone knows that the emperor has already divorced his former wife with a letter of divorce. No one would think that Zhao Haiqing would make this The male wife whom he had ridiculed all the time married again and returned home.

Yuntian's hot pot restaurant opened bigger and bigger, and he also made a lot of money, but when he thought of Zhao Haiqing, he felt empty in his heart, and even the money couldn't play a role in comforting him.

He believed that Zhao Haiqing loved him, but between power and love, he couldn't guarantee that Zhao Haiqing would definitely choose love.

The throne is not easy to come by, and Zhao Haiqing is not the kind of foolish emperor who loves beauties and dislikes the country, Yuntian knows very well that he will put the overall situation first.He used to be able to stand by Zhao Haiqing's side indifferently, but now he feels that he can't take that step anyway.

As if overnight, his lover was far away from him.

While he was in a daze, the door suddenly creaked, and a gust of wind swept in.

Zhao Haiqing appeared at the door in brocade clothes and jade belt, Fengshen handsome, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Yun Tian was stunned for a few seconds before calling out in a low voice: "Haiqing?"

"I'm here," Zhao Haiqing strode forward and hugged him heavily, "Yun Tian, ​​I miss you very much..."

There was guilt in his tone, but Yun Tian didn't want to hear such guilt, as if there was a lot of helplessness between them, although it was true.

Yuntian's prediction was correct, Zhao Haiqing came here not just to visit him.

"What does Yuntian think after the ministers of the DPRK and China persuaded him to isolate?"

Yun Tian was stunned for a few seconds, turned his eyes away and said, "This is your business."

Zhao Haiqing held his hand: "Except for you, I don't want anyone to be my queen. But..."

He needless to say, Yuntian knew what he had to say.

──But his courtiers will not recognize a queen who is a man. As a queen, she must not have children, otherwise she will be ashamed of the queen, the emperor, and the world.

Yuntian knew that it was not Zhao Haiqing's fault, he could not fight against people's deep-seated beliefs on his own, Zhao Haiqing's father had a male concubine, but he had many concubines, and his queen was also a woman, and Yuntian was absolutely against it. Willing to share his love with others, this is his bottom line.

Zhao Haiqing once said that they can adopt other people's children, but that was when he was the prince, now that he is the emperor, there is no reason to adopt. Who would accept that the prince is not the emperor's own blood?

Unless Zhao Haiqing can give birth by himself or ask Yun Tian to give birth, otherwise this matter cannot be resolved.

Yun Tian is not a selfish person, but he is not great enough to watch Zhao Haiqing have children with others.When the time comes for their family of three, how embarrassing should they be?

"Yun Tian, ​​Gu will definitely find a way, sorry, I have to wrong you for a while..."

"Hai Qing, I plan to leave the capital to learn art from a teacher."

Yun Tian interrupted him before he finished speaking, Zhao Haiqing was startled for a moment, and asked: "Why?"

"Hey, what's the reason? Isn't it normal for me to want to learn some martial arts? Do I just spend my whole life relying on this kind of half-baked kung fu?"

Yun Tian shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed, swept away the gloomy expression just now, and showed Zhao Haiqing's favorite smiling face, "I have thought about it for a long time, if I learn the skills, I can be a military officer in the future and help you fight wars and so on .”

Zhao Haiqing was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "Yuntian really thinks so?"

──How serious?How could it be true? !

Yuntian's heart seemed to be held tightly by an invisible hand, and his chest was aching.

He didn't want to leave Zhao Haiqing, but he couldn't stay in the capital anymore.If Zhao Haiqing can't see him, then don't worry about him, and then form a family with others and have a group of lovely children.After all, blood is thicker than water, Zhao Haiqing will gradually forget him after having a child.

"... No, I don't agree."

Zhao Haiqing looked directly at Yuntian, with obvious distrust in his eyes, "You want to just leave, don't you?!"

Yuntian didn't dare to look at him, for fear that he would betray all his decisions just by looking at him. In front of Zhao Haiqing's throne, his love is so insignificant that it is not worth mentioning.If he forcibly stayed by Zhao Haiqing's side, what would those ministers think?Zhao Haiqing is no longer his own, but the admiration and pillar of the world.

Yun Tian lowered his head and let out a weary smile, "Your Majesty, I'm tired."

Zhao Haiqing's throat seemed to be strangled suddenly.

"I don't want to be upset by a group of old men because of you, and I don't want to see you and your future child's mother sweet, that's too wronged myself, Zhao Haiqing, we did love once, But you have to consider the actual situation now, love can never be the first priority for the emperor. You don't have to worry about me, I have saved enough money now, and I can live a good life."

Zhao Haiqing didn't seem to believe that Yuntian would say that, and he panicked for a moment, but Yuntian didn't give him any chance to keep him, and continued: "You forgot what you promised me? Let me go when you become the emperor. Let's go, now is the time for you to fulfill your promise? A man who says a word is hard to follow, you can't say what you say."

Zhao Haiqing remained silent, and still looked at him with that kind of eyes that made Yuntian reluctant.

In the end, Yuntian finally took a step back.

"...Well, I promise you, I will definitely come back in five years at the latest. If we still have a chance at that time."

How much is five years enough to change?Maybe Zhao Haiqing didn't even remember his appearance at that time.

Zhao Haiqing finally smiled wryly, "Yuntian, are you testing me?"

"You can say that," Yun Tian smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Don't tell me your love won't last five years."

After a long time, Zhao Haiqing raised his head, looked at him deeply and said, "Okay, five years. Yuntian don't miss the appointment, otherwise, even if I search every inch of the world, I will find you back."
