Pour the glass

The Dayun Imperial City was brightly lit, and even the din of singing and singing could not dispel the dignified atmosphere lingering in the hall.

The envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty did not go to the hall for a long time, and the officials of Dayun and Emperor Yunhui had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

"Actually, Princess Chushan's dance doesn't hurt the country's prestige, it's better to..."

"Now, Dajin and I, Dayun, finally have this opportunity to repair, Your Majesty, don't miss it!"

"Your Majesty, please order Princess Chushan to perform a dance!"

As the night grew darker, more and more ministers of Dayun couldn't sit still, and one after another came to remonstrate with Emperor Yunhui to order and agree to the request of the envoy of the Jin Dynasty to make Princess Chushan perform a dance to please the envoy of the Jin Dynasty .

Emperor Yunhui clenched his fists tightly. Although he was extremely angry, he didn't dare to attack. He only heard him ask deeply: "Where is Chushan now?"

"Going back to the emperor, I'm dressing up in the inner palace." The servant replied immediately, hesitated for a while, and then said: "But the princess just sent word that it's all right for the princess to perform dances. It's no different, it's tantamount to insulting the royal family of Dayun, so if the emperor... if the emperor insists on making her dance, then the princess will... then..."

"Chu Shan has such a temperament..." Emperor Yunhui shook his head helplessly, "Come on, please invite the envoy of the Great Jin Kingdom, I also have a temperament, don't push yourself too far!"

"promise!"

"Ugh……"

Above the main hall, there was a sigh, and all the officials looked at Nine Thousand Years. At this time, they could only look forward to Nine Thousand Years.

Nine thousand years old sat calmly on the table, smiling slightly, as if he didn't intend to meddle in today's business, leaving Emperor Yunhui to worry about it alone, he was also happy to have a leisurely time.

At this moment, in the depths of the inner palace, the well-dressed Ye Lingxi was pacing back and forth in the bedroom, waiting for the news that Jinnu would bring Ziyuan back.

"Princess...Princess!" Jin Nu ran back quickly, panting heavily, and replied, "Princess, Captain Qi may not enter the palace today."

"Why?" Ye Lingxi's face darkened.

Jin Nu shook his head and said: "People in the imperial guard camp said that Captain Qi left the imperial guard camp after changing his clothes. Hit the horse and gallop out of Lin'an City."

"He left the city?" Ye Lingxi was shocked again, "This is... This fact is really strange!"

Jin Nu regained his breath, and said anxiously: "This is not the only strange thing, there is also... I don't know why Zui Tonight is suddenly closed! Now there is no one in there, I don't know where they all went? "

Ye Lingxi's expression changed, "I think Su Zhexue must have encountered something serious! No wonder... But if Captain Qi cannot enter the palace tonight, it will be difficult for me to get out!"

Jin Nu was impatient, but she couldn't help Ye Lingxi, "Princess, it's almost useless to be a servant."

"It's not your fault, how about this..." Ye Lingxi whispered a few words to Jin Nu, "After everything is done, hurry up and meet at the gate of the palace. I have to go to Zui Tonight."

"But in this way, what if the emperor really orders the princess to dance, and the princess can't be found..."

"Dancing, no matter what, I can't dance, so it is a serious crime for me. I believe that my father will not embarrass me." Ye Lingxi said in a deep voice, "Besides, today's envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty is just There is a tactic to slow down the troops, if I guess correctly, they must be waiting for someone today."

Ye Lingxi glanced at the doubts on Jin Nu's face, and could only urge Jin Nu to say, "I will explain these things to you in the future, and you should hurry up and do things."

"promise!"

With the flickering candles, the atmosphere in Dayun Imperial City was dignified, but outside Lin'an City, in a wild inn, the atmosphere was equally dignified.

The attendants sent the store owner and Xiao Er back to the city, and the inside and outside of this wild inn were full of masters, and all pedestrians who passed by tonight were persuaded to leave.

A-Ling sat in the lobby, calmly watching the passer-by refill her glass of wine just now.

"Zhanxue, please." The passer-by changed into a black costume, with a purple gold crown and a high bun, showing a pair of heroic and sturdy eyebrows. He finished speaking with a smile, and waved his hand to signal the guards in the lobby to step back.

A Ling looked up at him quietly, and said coldly: "I really didn't expect that His Royal Highness, the King of Shu, would come here?"

Xiao Ye, King of Shu, is the nephew of Xiao Yang, the current emperor of Jin Dynasty.

It seems that the Dajin royal family has committed evil when it was spread to the area of ​​Emperor Yong of Jin. Emperor Xiao Yong recruited beauties every year to enrich the harem, but all the beauties gave birth to daughters, so far he has not had a son.

Before the Great Jin Dynasty, there was a precedent for setting up a female as the crown prince. At that time, the female emperor Jinhua Emperor Xiao Qingqing created the most glorious prosperity of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, Emperor Jin Yong can appoint a daughter as the crown prince, or he can appoint two nephews-the king of Shu or the king of Qi as the crown prince.

King Xiao Ye of Shu put down the jug, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you can still hold on. It seems that Ayejie has met a big-headed opponent."

Ah Ling sneered and said: "I'm still holding on, isn't it all good things for you, King Qi?"

Xiao Ye nodded, "It's a good thing for you and me, but it's not a good thing for King Qi. Do you know that he has already won over the National Teacher's Mansion?"

A Ling said lightly: "The death of those people drunk tonight is indeed not only the work of King Qi."

"You have experienced the power of wolf Gu, so you naturally know it better than me. The two of you working together is the way you should choose." After Xiao Ye finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

A guard brought in a roll of imperial silk and placed it respectfully in front of A Ling.

Xiao Ye rubbed A Ling's ink with his own hands, and continued: "You should also know that the emperor has not only made a covenant with you, but also with me, King Qi, and even all the princesses—whoever can get the longevity cup, To be promoted to the world."

Ah Ling's eyes dimmed, "So?"

"Zui Jinnight is destroyed, all your chess pieces are dead, your only value is your body, which is the mother body for the reproduction of Emperor Gu. If I can save your life, you should naturally use your value in exchange." Xiao Ye said, put down the ink stick, picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink, "Let's look for the longevity cup together. In the future, I will be the emperor of Jin, and I will use this imperial decree as evidence. After I become the emperor, I will allow you to be free for ten years and do whatever you want." What you want to do, after ten years, you will obediently breed new Emperor Gu for my newly selected national teacher, and defend my country, Chang'an for a hundred years."

Ah Ling smiled sadly and shook her head, "Cousin, you are really thoughtful."

Xiao Ye smiled and said, "Now that the matter has come to an end, what other options do you have?" After finishing speaking, Xiao Ye lowered his head and wrote down the words he had just agreed upon. Wang Yin.

A Ling frowned slightly, and suddenly pushed Huangbo into Xiao Ye's arms, and said with a sneer, "Cousin, you are too hasty, and this edict was issued too early."

Xiao Ye's face darkened, "What do you mean?"

"You want me to promise you, it's not that you can't do it, it's that you lack sincerity." A Ling finished speaking and stood up, "I've never been interested in Jiangshan, so I don't care who sits on the throne at all. .”

Ah Ling walked to the door of the wild inn, looked at the dark sky, and said with a sneer, "I know I can't escape the fate of my mother's body, but I also know that as long as this value exists, I will be entitled to bargain every day." , Ah Ling turned his head and looked at Xiao Ye fixedly. His cold gaze made people feel inexplicably cold, "It's a pity that neither you nor King Qi can understand the truth that the emperor can understand."

"Xiao Zhanxue, don't force me..."

"Look, you are really not sincere. You want to kill Qi Ziyuan, or... Su Zhexue?" Ah Ling asked suddenly.

Xiao Ye shook his head and said: "I said before, I don't know the whereabouts of Su Zhexue, the person who did it was King Qi, you shouldn't doubt me."

Ah Ling said coldly: "Really?"

"You and I are relatives, it really shouldn't be..."

"No more, don't you threaten me with Qi Ziyuan's life?" A Ling said to the point, "If you want me to accept this imperial decree, it's fine, but I want Qi Ziyuan to be safe and Su Zhe Xue Anran." After a short pause, A Ling continued, "If you can't even protect two chess pieces, I'm afraid protecting me is just empty talk. What's more, you know more about Aye's current situation in the court than I do. How powerful is it? If you want to overthrow him, you must have enough power. You are simply no match for them now, so this edict is nothing but empty talk."

Xiao Ye felt guilty, and for a moment didn't know how to answer A Ling's words.

A Ling stepped out of the wild stack, "Now we need more allies, so even my broken chess pieces must be kept." After speaking, A Ling stopped and looked back at Xiao Ye, "I I can only promise you that I will be an ally for the time being and help each other. As long as I don’t become a Gu mother for a day, I can make Ayejie and King Qi avoid killing them. If you think these are not enough, try to use Qi Zi Yuan's life is threatening me, so I can only tell you, if I want to mess with it, don't let me die, this game of chess has reached the end ahead of time, and you won't get anything!"

"Do you threaten me?"

"Aren't you threatening me too?"

A-Ling choked back, and Lin Lin walked out of the wild inn, "Whether it's Su Zhexue or Qi Ziyuan, if you touch anyone easily, you know what the consequences will be."

"You..." Xiao Ye gritted his teeth and held back what he was going to say. He knew that he was really impatient for this showdown, "I promise, at least Qi Ziyuan will be safe during my mission to Dayun this time. The greatest sincerity!"

"Very good." Ah Ling walked outside the wild inn, led a horse, turned over and jumped on it, turned to Xiao Ye and said, "Do you know what the scariest person is like?"

Xiao Ye clenched his fist secretly, not answering A Ling's words.

A Ling said in a deep voice: "If a person doesn't even love his own life, then you can't threaten this person..." After finishing speaking, A Ling reined in his horse, turned around, and rode his horse into the deep forest outside the forest.

Xiao Ye walked to the door of the wild inn, looked at A Ling's back as he galloped away, shook his head and said, "Xiao Zhanxue, today I was blackmailed by you because you are still useful, if the emperor can't see the cup of longevity, Then you are worthless."

A Ling breathed a long sigh of relief on the horse, the most important thing now is to find Ziyuan first, as long as she stays by Ziyuan's side, Ziyuan is safe!

"Ziyuan..." Ah Ling called out with a cool heart. At this moment, she didn't know if this stinky girl who didn't know that she was in danger would still be willing to see her.
