The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

Zhu Sha was wearing night clothes, leaning on a tall horse, dangling a buckskin water bag in his hand.

"It's so late, what did you do?"

It was Yan Zun who was walking towards him, and he said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhu Sha handed him a note and said, "I'll know if you don't tell me."

Yan Zun didn't answer, he opened the note, looked at it, and said, "How did this news get out?"

"On the day when the Palace of Compassionate Ning was flooded, I found an opportunity in the chaos of fighting the fire." Zhu Sha said, "Your elder brother has become more and more popular. Among the generals in the imperial court, Cen Ankong has the title of a great general, but he has no military power in his hands. As a result, no one can compete with Yan Xun now. He is the emperor's right-hand man, but you are... hey, what should I do?"

Yan Zun responded with a cold face, "What can I do with him?"

Zhu Sha chuckled, her bright eyes were like thin crescent moons in the sky, "The key is not whether you can, but whether you will or not. In the past, it was a trick to throw rats, but now that King Liang has left the capital and went to the fiefdom, he can't be implicated anyway. What are you worried about?" Woolen cloth?"

Yan Zun was silent for a while, then nodded.

Zhu Sha was satisfied, and stretched out her hand to brush her hair disheveled by the wind, "Then, you can just wait for my news in peace."

After saying that, she jumped on the horseback and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, I just got the news that the king of Liang was poisoned in goat's milk in the posthouse. Fortunately, the king of Liang found out early. Didn't drink it down."

Yan Zun's expression turned serious, "Who is it?"

Zhu Sha rolled his eyes, and said slowly: "How do I know? Such a stupid way, anyway, it's not me. But the goat milk was bought by his attendant. I heard that someone hit him on the way back. Hit him The person in question is a young man, extremely handsome, wearing a dark green..."

Before Zhu Sha could finish speaking, Yan Zun left quickly with a sullen face.

When he was going back, Tang Jinzhi saw him and rushed to greet him, with sincere joy and eagerness on his face.

"Rong Ling..."

What followed was a loud slap.

Yan Zun said sharply: "You poisoned King Liang?!"

Tang Jinzhi covered his face, and after a while, the hoarse mouthpiece could speak, "Yes. Why, is he dead?"

Yan Zun was burning with anger, pointing at him and yelling, "If something happens to him, do you think it's as simple as me slapping you?!"

Tang Jinzhi gritted his teeth and looked at him, sadly said: "You and Yan Xun fought back and forth, isn't it because of him? If he dies, everyone will be at peace!"

"Yan Xun and I have accumulated grievances since we were young. Even if it is for King Liang, it has nothing to do with you! I warn you, if there is a next time, I will never forgive you."

Tang Jinzhi was startled, and roared as if he was going all out: "King Liang only has Yan Xun in his heart, and he doesn't care about you at all! How much you hate me for pestering me so much, he will hate you like this!"

Tang Jinzhi's words hurt the most untouchable thing in Yan Zun's heart, his eyes were so red that he was about to bleed.

Tang Jinzhi calmed down, lowered his eyes and immersed himself in his infinite sorrow.

"You were not like this before. For more than four years, although you have never lacked male favorites in your house, you treat me differently, because you know that my heart for you is different from theirs. I am not for money, not for fooling around So I thought you really liked me and had me in your heart. But since he appeared, you haven't treated me like before. I'm jealous of him and hate him, but what do you want me to do? That's it Give up, leave? Can you let King Liang go?"

Yan Zun was silent for a while, and slowly stretched out his hand to grab Tang Jinzhi's arm, "Jinzhi, you and I have been together for four years, I naturally know your heart, and I am not completely ruthless to you. But King Liang...I promise you , if I can get what I want, I will definitely treat you well and treat you well. But now you want to help me, can you?"

Tang Jinzhi couldn't agree, he couldn't open his eyes, and his lips were tightly pursed.He just loves him, but the person he loves begs him like this.

But the weak pleading that almost never appeared in Yan Zun's eyes made Tang Jinzhi finally compromise. He tried his best to restrain the rampant resentment in his heart, held back tears and nodded.

Only what you can't ask for and what you lose forever are the most precious, so maybe when Yan Zun gets the person he wants, he won't be so infatuated and fanatical.he thinks.

After listening to Qiu Ye's words, Bai Yu thought for a while, and said, "The person who bumped into you, have you seen his appearance clearly?"

Qiu Ye said: "I see clearly, he is a good-looking man with fair skin and well-dressed clothes."

Bai Yu nodded, and asked again: "If you see him again, will you recognize him?"

"It should be recognized."

Bai Yu let out a long breath, and said, "Okay. You should rest earlier, you have to hurry tomorrow morning."

Qiu Ye was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Your Highness, aren't you going to track down the person who poisoned you?"

"Who do you think that person could be?"

"The subordinates don't know. Maybe... the queen mother? Or some minister in the court."

Bai Yu shook his head and said: "The smell of this poison is very obvious, and it is not unpleasant to smell it carefully. There are many good medicines that are colorless and tasteless in the world. If that person is like what you said, he will naturally have a better way. And this The medicine was administered in a stupid way, not like the actions of a scheming person. I thought, don’t worry too much about it.”

Qiu Ye was still a little worried, and said, "Even so, His Royal Highness must be 12 careful with the food, soup and medicine in the future. Why don't you replace all the utensils with silver ones."

"Well, you can do it tomorrow." Bai Yu poured himself a cup of tea and tried it with a silver needle. "Besides me, there are also my master and Mr. Ye. They should also be careful with what they drink and eat. You wait Send me a message in a moment."

"Yes." Qiu Ye agreed and went.

The next ten or so days on the road were uneventful. At noon, the guards stopped at the town they passed by to rest. Qiu Ye looked at the map and said, "Your Highness, we will arrive at the fief tomorrow."

In fact, Baiyu's fiefdom was long-awaited by the emperor. The fiefdom is located in the southwest, bordering the Fuling River in the west, bordering Xichu in the south, and Zhixianguan in the north. land.

This place is dangerous, originally Shen Qing did not agree with the emperor to put the white jade here, one was afraid that the white jade would take advantage of the terrain to support his troops, and the other was that this place was an important place for the tribes in the southwestern frontier to march their troops into the Great Zhou, and it was also like an iron lock If the barrier-like pass is lost, the consequences will be disastrous.Bai Yu may not be able to take on this important task.

Shen Qing's worry was justified, but later, I don't know how the emperor made it clear to Shen Qing, but he finally nodded in agreement.

Ye Zhiyan said with a smile: "Although the terrain here is dangerous, it is located on the remote border of Dazhou. The people are not very rich, and His Highness probably cannot collect much tax. It seems that life should be more frugal."

"That's okay, I'm used to living a hard life, and no matter how poor I am, I will never be poorer than that time."

These days, the relationship between Bai Yu and Ye Zhiyan has gradually become closer. After several conversations with each other, Bai Yu likes Ye Zhiyan's temperament more and more.He is a smart and introverted person, neither humble nor overbearing in front of Bai Yu, advancing and retreating gracefully.

"It's also fortunate that this place is not a rich place, otherwise those people in the court would not be at ease. Rebellion is rich, right?" Kui Zheng said as if joking.

After lunch, Bai Yu got back into the carriage and continued on his way to his destination.He dozed off, and in a trance, the carriage shook violently and stopped.

"Your Highness." Qiu Ye said outside, "Your Highness, the commander of the guards said that there seems to be something wrong ahead, please stop for a while, Your Highness, please don't panic."

Bai Yu woke up suddenly, lifted the curtain of the car and poked her head out, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

The commander of the guards was Tao Ming who had escorted him to Liangzhou before. He rode his horse to arrive and reported: "There may be an ambush ahead. I will go and see first. Your Highness, don't be afraid."

Before Bai Yu could answer, Qiu Ye exclaimed, pointed to the front and said, "General, look!"

A black line appeared on the horizon in the distance, and the black lines were arranged in a line, moving forward rapidly.Tao Ming took a breath and said, "Protect Your Highness! Stop those people!"

That black line was gradually approaching, and it really was a large group of cavalry approaching quickly like a barrier, only the sound of horseshoes was heard, and it was hard to see how many people were coming.

The guards were well-trained, and in a blink of an eye, they advanced forward and backward, holding their shields to guard against the attack of the cavalry.And those people sent by Yan Xun surrounded Baiyu's carriage closely, Baiyu felt at ease for no reason, not very afraid, just frowned and said: "Go and tell General Tao, try to save as many lives as possible."

Qiu Ye responded and patted his horse to tell Tao Ming.

Tao Ming then ordered the archers to shoot only at the horses of the cavalry in the front row. For a while, people screamed, and the horses in front were injured by the arrows and fell over. The cavalrymen on the horses fell to the ground one after another. .

When you get close, bows and arrows are useless, and hand-to-hand combat erupts instantly. The front guards and cavalry are engaged in a battle. Before the winner is determined, there is a burst of shouting and killing from behind, and another team of cavalry is rushing forward with steel swords held high. .
