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

The frail cloudy sky, dark clouds hanging down the horizon, heavy and dark, but no rain.Chunyu Yu reached out to catch the pigeon, and took out the two pieces of paper on its feet. Upon closer inspection, his expression gradually changed.

"What are you looking at? You look so ugly." Chunyujing's voice came from beside her ear.

Chunyu Yu was startled, and hurriedly held the note in his palm, hiding an embarrassed smile, "Hey, the news from Gao Yi said...these days Liang Wanghe and Yuchi Yuanhe are in contact. Very close. I was thinking about whether to tell the general."

Chunyujing snorted coldly, and said, "I knew it! Of course I have to tell the general. Give me the note."

Chunyu Xuan sighed, and handed the note to Chunyu Jing, "I know you don't like King Liang, but don't talk too much in front of the general."

Chunyu Jing nodded and went on her own.Chunyu Xuan was stunned for a while, looking at the second note in his hand and remained silent.

The note said that Prince Liang's House had quietly sold off a bunch of gifts that Ye Luo and many ministers had sent on Baiyu's birthday, and the proceeds amounted to tens of thousands of gold.

However, he did not see where the money was spent.

Chun Yujing took the note to Yan Xun to read, and said in a repeated voice: "Look, General, Gao Yi saw it with his own eyes, saying that Yuchi Yuanhe often went to see King Liang and stayed with him, and the two of them They talked and laughed and whispered. Liang Wang recently fell in love with archery, and he played with bows and arrows when he had nothing to do in the mansion. Yuchi Yuanhe taught him! General, you say they..."

Chunyu Jing's words fell in his ears, Yan Xun was taken aback, his heart seemed to be stabbed hard by something, and he felt sore.Even though he knew that Bai Yu was deliberately trying to get angry at him, but thinking about that scene for a while, he still felt restless.

"Understood." Yan Xun lowered his head, put the note on the candle and lit it, "Go ahead."

Chunyu Xuan walked slowly towards Yan Xun's big tent, but stopped not far from the door, stood there for a moment, turned and left, and tore up the note in his hand.

In the afternoon, the sun was scorching and there was no wind. There were several large pieces of ice sculptures in the big urn in front of the couch, and the wind was blowing loudly. Bai Yu was reclining on the couch, half asleep and half awake.

He was dreaming one dream after another in a trance. In the dream, he was walking slowly alone, as if he was going to go shopping somewhere or meet someone.As he was walking, a man suddenly stood in front of him, who looked exactly like him, and said with a smile, "Where are you going, brother? Don't you wait for me?"

Bai Yu in the dream didn't feel surprised, just nodded in a daze, and said, "I'll wait for you."

The man asked him again: "Are you going to find General Yan? Don't go, let's go to Mother Concubine first, Mother Concubine is gone."

Bai Yu asked puzzledly, "Concubine Mother? Why did she disappear?"

"It was the queen mother who called the concubine mother away."

Bai Yu was just startled, but saw a peerless beauty standing in front of him holding a baby in her arms.There was no trace of makeup on her almost pale face, and two lines of clear tears hung down her cheeks.

"The concubine mother had no choice but to smother your brother to death with her own hands, and exchanged our two lives for you to leave the palace safely. But now, you don't even dare to fight for what should belong to you, avenging the concubine mother and brother. Bai Yu, you really let me down!"

Bai Yu was so panicked that cold sweat was about to drip down his forehead. He watched helplessly as the concubine mother tightly covered the baby's mouth and nose with her hands, trying to stop her, but her whole body was so stiff that she couldn't move.

At some point, a little man popped out from behind Baiyu, his brisk voice was like an oriole, "Brother Liang Wang!"

"Wan Wan?" Bai Yu looked down, but couldn't see Wan Wan's appearance clearly. When he turned his head, all the people in front of him just disappeared.

"Brother Liang Wang..." Wan Wan's voice was a little aggrieved, blood was seeping out drop by drop from her body, it was so red as to stab someone's eyes.

Bai Yu felt as if his chest was being pounded vigorously by a drumstick, and it felt like it was going to split open. He wanted to open his eyes and move, but his body couldn't obey.

Ye Zhiyan pushed Bai Yu's shoulder hard to wake him up, Bai Yu opened his eyes suddenly, stretched out his hand to caress his forehead with difficulty, sat up slowly, a few strands of wet hair stuck to his sideburns sticky.

"Your Highness is having nightmares again?"

Bai Yu couldn't speak for a moment, so she waved her hands, buried her head on her knees, and curled up her body.

Ye Zhiyan fanned him with a fan, and handed the ice bowl to Bai Yu.

"His Royal Highness has often had nightmares recently, and can't sleep well. Is there something on your mind?"

Bai Yu took a few mouthfuls from the ice bowl, gradually calmed down, and said gloomily, "Just now I dreamed about my concubine mother and younger brother again. Concubine mother accused me of being incompetent and unable to avenge her and younger brother."

Ye Zhiyan said softly: "I often hear the Taoist Master Kui say that Empress Shuyuan is the most gentle and kind woman in the world. If she had a spirit in heaven, she would definitely not say that about Your Highness."

Bai Yu hesitated a little, and said again: "Later, I dreamed of Wanwan, that child was standing in front of me dripping with blood. I woke up before I could ask her what's wrong... Maybe something happened to her, right?"

"Wanwan? Is that the little girl who was adopted as a foster daughter by General Yan's mother?" Ye Zhiyan said, "Your Highness is really thinking too much. She is in Yan's residence in good condition. How could something happen?"

Bai Yu was right when he thought about it, so he relieved himself, and said with a smile, "I think I must have been thinking too much. I'm also to blame. I always found the tranquilizing medicine prescribed by the doctor too bitter and didn't want to drink it. I'd better listen to the doctor in the future. "

Ye Zhiyan nodded, and whispered: "Just now I saw Gao Yi release a carrier pigeon again, I don't know what he said this time. When Wei Chi Yuanhe came to teach His Royal Highness how to archery the day before yesterday, he hid himself and watched for a long time."

He laughed and said: "Even Yuchi Yuanhe can see that His Highness deliberately made him angry with General Yan, and General Yan naturally knows."

"I don't care whether he knows it or not, as long as it makes him unhappy, I will be happy." Bai Yu said so, but her chest felt suffocated, and she muttered angrily, "This cruel and ruthless killer, even a letter No letter of explanation was brought to me!"

Ye Zhiyan thought about it, and said leisurely: "Xu Shi thought that a few lines on a piece of paper are not enough to express his apology, nor can he express his lingering lovesickness."

Bai Yu sneered and said, "You really know how to coax people."

Ye Zhiyan smiled, suddenly fixed Wu Cheng's eyes, stared at Bai Yu and said, "Your Highness is still waiting for the letter from the general, it seems that he is not really angry with him."

"At first, I was really angry, but after thinking about it after my anger subsided, I still believe that he won't, at most he just put on a show. I have always known those people's defenses against me. They are always afraid that Yan Xun will do something because of me. Choose the latter between loyalty and personal affection."

"But why is Your Highness willing to let the general make such a difficult choice? Generals like them are extremely difficult to be human. If you don't pay attention, you will be suspected of making great achievements. Veteran generals like the general will Let the king love and be afraid. In fact, it is better to be like Yuchi Yuanhe, who does not go to the battlefield and does not fight for military exploits. He only leads tens of thousands of troops to garrison at various borders, and rides horses and hunts in the garrison in his free time, and he is at ease."

Bai Yu smiled wryly.Why didn't he understand this, and why didn't he think that Yan Xun was an idle general like Yuchi Yuanhe, who would change places to garrison every four years, as long as there were no enemy soldiers coming, then he would live a very peaceful and peaceful life.There are only tens of thousands of people in hand, so there is no need to worry about some masters with high achievements.

But Bai Yu would never say that to Yan Xun.He knew that Yan Xun had his ambitions, and his heroic demeanor galloping on the battlefield was precisely what attracted Bai Yu the most.

Bai Yu came back to his senses, suddenly felt strange, looked at Ye Zhiyan and said, "Recently I often hear you mention Yuchi Yuanhe."

Ye Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, and then said for a moment: "I'm not familiar with the place here, and the only one who comes and goes on a daily basis is General Yuchi."

"Oh..." Bai Yu sized him up, smiled and said nothing.

In the evening, Qiu Ye came in quietly, whispered a few words in Bai Yu's ear, and said, "Your Highness, should I invite you in directly, or meet me somewhere outside?"

Bai Yuyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Please come in aboveboard. Do you think people won't know if we meet outside?"

Qiu Ye bowed down, and after a while, brought Mu Fengyi in.

Bai Yu hurriedly asked, "How, have you found anything?"

Mu Fengyi's expression was worried and anxious, and his voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

"The Empress Dowager's people are going to repeat the old tricks, attack Chongming Palace again, kill the king and seize the throne, and then take back His Highness, making His Highness a puppet in their hands. The general's going to the northwest to calm the chaos is actually their plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain. And they If you are afraid of the soldiers and horses in the hands of the general, you will definitely attack him first to remove hidden dangers."

Bai Yu's face immediately lost all color, she listened in a daze, her mind buzzing.

Yan Xun took all the main force to fight, and the emperor was surrounded by the imperial army and the [-] armored guards guarding the imperial city.But at the beginning, the Queen Mother colluded with the commander of the forbidden army and King Zhaowu, and directly killed the emperor's bedroom.If it wasn't for Yan Xunhu's protection, the emperor would have died at that time.

So this time they were smarter and transferred Yan Xun away first, so who else could protect the emperor?
