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

Waking up early the next morning, Qiu Ye quickly led someone to set a light breakfast on the table, Bai Yu sat down and said, "Go and see if Mr. Ye is up, if he wakes up, ask him to come and have breakfast with me."

Ye Zhiyan came in just a moment, looking refreshed.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Bai Yu asked.

"I went to bed late and spent some time boiling water to take a bath, but it was a good night's sleep." Ye Zhiyan took two sips of soy milk and looked up at Bai Yu, "Your Highness is not energetic."

Bai Yu smiled and said: "Thinking about something, I can't sleep well. Gao Yi refuses to tell me the truth. Although I don't want to believe that Yan Xun will be so unfeeling to me, no one can help me to prove it. Why were you unhappy last night?"

Ye Zhiyan was listening quietly, but at the end he was taken aback, "What?"

"There are already many things I can't figure out. If you are willing, you can help me reduce one thing." Bai Yu said.

The silver spoon in Ye Zhiyan's hand knocked on the porcelain bowl with a soft "ding" sound, he was stunned for a moment, and then simply said: "Actually, it's nothing, the room was dark last night, General Yuchi didn't see clearly when he came in to save people, he thought I was His Highness .”

"Are you angry that he recognized the wrong person?"

Ye Zhiyan shook his head, showing a faint smile, "When I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I fell in love with my senior brother, and he said he liked me too. I didn't know until later that I probably looked like someone else. So I really don't like being admitted wrong now. I was a little unhappy when I remembered this incident last night. But it's not because of General Yuchi, he didn't mean it."

Bai Yu suddenly remembered that he had seen a painting by Ye Zhiyan, and the person in that painting looked a bit like Yuchi Yuanhe at first glance.

"Then you and Yuchi Yuanhe..."

Ye Zhiyan guessed what Bai Yu was thinking of, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, General Yuchi and my senior brother are somewhat similar. That picture is of my senior brother."

When Ye Zhiyan mentioned his senior brother, he didn't seem to have any disgust and aversion towards the person who hurt him. Instead, he left him on the paper stroke by stroke and kept it in his memory.

Bai Yu took a deep breath and said hesitantly, "After I left that day, did you..."

Ye Zhiyan didn't answer this question, he said: "Actually, I'm quite happy. The moment General Yuchi came in to protect me, it immediately reminded me of my senior brother. I haven't thought of him for a long time."

"he……"

"He's dead." Ye Zhiyan said briefly.

Bai Yu was silent for a while, not knowing what to say.For the first time, he discovered that Ye Zhiyan had such a deep sadness under his always peaceful face.He didn't know what kind of existence that person was to Ye Zhiyan, nor what happened between him and Yuchi Yuanhe.He has never mentioned the story of Ye Zhiyan, and there is no need to mention it.

Ye Zhiyan's expression quickly returned to normal, and he looked at Bai Yu and said, "His Royal Highness, in fact, when Master Kui Zhengdao wanted you to give up General Yan for the throne, I couldn't bear it. Because I know that for some people, there are always Something is a hundred times more important than power. Maybe you and General Yan had a misunderstanding, or something really went wrong, but now that you two are living in this world well, this is the greatest gift from God. If it’s too late, don’t leave any regrets, and don’t have a day when you can’t regret it.”

Bai Yu sat quietly, her eyes didn't know where to fall outside the window.Ye Zhiyan didn't bother him, and ate in silence.

After a while, Bai Yu jumped up and ran to the room where Gao Yi was imprisoned.

There was someone delivering food to Gao Yi, and Qiu Ye was standing aside watching him eat breakfast.Bai Yu pushed the door open and went in, standing in front of Gao Yi, "I want to see Yan Xun."

·

"You instigated Li Guang to run to meet Yan Xun?" Cui Zheng said angrily.

"Not to mention instigating, if Your Highness doesn't want to see General Yan, it's useless if I wear my mouth." Ye Zhiyan lowered his eyes, "The big battle is coming, no matter whether we win or lose, there is an eventuality. Your Highness goes down to meet the person he wants to see , Speak clearly in your heart, is there anything wrong?"

"What's the use of seeing him?" Zheng Zheng said, "Not to mention the danger along the way, how can he persuade Yan Xun to send troops to help? If Yan found him and knew our plan, he was detained Or kill them directly, what should we do?"

Ye Zhiyan said: "Then after this, His Highness will be able to see clearly whether the general is worth it."

Cui Zheng was speechless for a while, and then said for a while: "After all, you are still too young, and everyone values ​​love more than life."

Ye Zhiyan raised his head, and met Zheng Zheng's eyes, "Seventeen years ago, you also wanted to elope with your sweetheart regardless of your life. You have experienced it yourself. Why do you not understand him when you come to His Highness?"

Kui Zheng said nothing, got up and left.

That night, Bai Yu, accompanied by Mu Fengyi, took Gao Yi out of the city at night, and rode northward on horseback.

However, they did not go too far, less than fifty miles out of the city, when they suddenly heard crowds of people and horses moving around, clamoring and shouting.After a while, the way was blocked.

Bai Yu felt that he was used to all kinds of shocking things these days, so he just sighed at this moment, and riding on his horse, he said, "Miss Ruan."

These years of Zheng Zheng's preparations naturally included Ruan Haoyue.Now that the time has come, Ruan Haoyue led 3000 people to send a letter.

The two people behind her were acquainted back then in Liangzhou. Yuan Kai and Wei Lun clasped their hands away and said, "His Royal Highness Liang, I offended you. Please go back, Your Highness."

Mu Fengyi's sword was half drawn, and Bai Yu pressed it back, "No need."

After returning, Kuizheng explained: "I went to Yuchi Yuanhe and asked him to intercept you. But he didn't want to, he said he didn't want you to hate him. So I had no choice but to send a letter to Ruan Haoyue. They have been stationed in the mountains outside the city, waiting for news from me."

Bai Yu shook his head wearily, "Master, you have no idea how much I want to see Yan Xun."

"How could I not know?" Kui was sitting on the edge of the bed and looking at him, "But now is not the time, you can't take risks."

Bai Yu was speechless, turned over and fell asleep, and pulled the quilt up to cover her head.

Cuizheng sighed, got up and blew out the candles, turned to look at Baiyu and couldn't bear it, hesitated for a moment and said: "How about...let Gao Yi bring a letter for you."

Before Gao Yi and the others left, Bai Yu handed him a letter he had written, and told him to hand it to Yan Xun himself.

During these days of preparing for the uprising, Bai Yu was often in a daze. He liked to go to Yuchi Yuanhe's barracks, to see those embroidered flags and horns, strong bows and crossbows, touch the tip of a knife, and caress the armor .It seemed that Yan Xun was by his side when he came into contact with these gold and iron horses.

He always stayed all day, watching the sun rise and set, and the shadow cast by the flagpole gradually lengthened and shortened with its footsteps.

Sometimes he would think about the two identical wedding gowns that night, and sometimes it would be about meaningless trifles, such as how he tied all the horse mane around Jiuhuaqiu's neck into twisted braids, but Yan Xun just gently put him out of bed. He was hugged on horseback.

He sometimes reads books in the military camp, reads the lovesickness of the ancients, and sees their joys and sorrows.He understands what is "the sky is long, the road is far away, the soul is flying, and the dream is hard to reach Guanshan", and what is "whoever in the cloud sends a brocade book, when the wild goose returns, the moon is full on the West Tower".But he couldn't find any poem that could accurately describe his feelings.Because they are all looking forward to the reunion, looking forward to the reunion, but Bai Yu is afraid of reunion, afraid that when they meet again, the two armies will confront each other and meet each other.

"I must go back to Shangjing and get rid of all the relatives of the Cen family before the Cen family do anything to the emperor's brother. Especially the queen mother, the emperor can't touch her, I can, I am not afraid that people in the world will scold me, I must kill her Her." Bai Yu looked at the tiger-headed belt buckle in his hand, and his voice was extremely soft and exhausted, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak, "Only in this way can we protect Brother Huang. If the Cen family doesn't get rid of it for a day, they will always treat you The throne is eyeing. But this is not something that will happen overnight, and it is almost impossible to achieve. I am afraid that the emperor brother will be killed by them first if he fails to make that step. Like King Zhaowu at that time."

"And then?" Mu Fengyi asked, "Back to Shangjing, uproot the Cen family, and then?"

"Then, let the emperor handle it." Bai Yu raised his head, his eyes reflected Rulin's swords and guns, "Without the Cen family, without me, his throne will be secure."

Mu Fengyi took a light breath, and looked at Bai Yu with a look he had never seen before.

Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, loyalty to the emperor is the first; heaven and earth are kings, relatives and teachers, and the king is only behind heaven and earth.But he just puts righteousness as the most important thing.After Qin Ran's incident, he hated the imperial court deeply, and resolutely gave up the official position that he had worked hard for bit by bit, and left alone; later, he also came to repay her son for the life-saving kindness of Empress Shuyuan.

He thought that there would be no one else like him.

Bai Yu rubbed his eyes and smiled at him calmly, "Tell me something about your time in Yan Xunjun. I want to hear it."

Mu Fengyi nodded, sat down beside him, and started talking from the first time he met Yan Xun.
