sinking into sand

There is no New Year's Eve at this time, the beginning of summer has passed, and Xiao Man still has days to live.The heat outside the window has already risen, and there is not a single cloud in the distance.This daylight is connected with the arrogance of the mountain fire, so scorching that it seems to burn people.

Yu Sha gave Yu Wangling a bowl of tea.At this moment, the third floor of Sajin Courtyard has been cleared, and Si En was also taken down.Only a few members of the Jinzhan Pavilion were left.

Both Yu Sha and Yu Wangling have their own methods, and they both know about it, and because of this knowledge, the two of them fell silent at this moment, as if nothing happened in the past, and they were just sharing here. Old friends over a pot of tea.

Yu Wangling picked up the teacup, looked at the color of the tea soup for a moment, drank it down, felt the taste of what was still there in his mouth, and said: "Your tea cooking skills have deteriorated a lot, such a good Longjing tea. With such boiling water, wouldn’t the fragrance disappear, leaving only the bitter taste.”

After hearing this, Yu Sha said, "In such a hurry today, there is still time to cool the water for you. This one is left by Li Qihua."

As soon as Yu Wangling heard it, he pushed the teacup away in disgust, and commented: "Unlucky."

Seeing his disgust, Yu Sha let out a sigh: "What are you doing trashing things?"

"I don't believe you just like it." Yu Wangling raised his eyes to look at him without blinking, "If Li Yuxin was pushed to make such a fuss, even if the Prince Li's mansion still maintains the last sliver of decency, even the Dingzhou faction The gentry may not be able to keep all beards and tails."

"Before the civil strife broke out, the Lijiang River was completely lost. Is this what you want?" Yu Wangling said this, as if he was just chatting.

Yu Shali ignored his words, and only said: "Since you want to ask me for an explanation, then speak up."

"Okay." Yu Wangling responded, and asked the first question: "You calculated this matter on the first day, have you already thought about today's situation?"

Yu Sha laughed when he heard his words, and said: "It's all over now, you only care about whether you are better than me."

Yu Wangling was frank: "The left and right things have gone according to your ideas, I just want to know where I lost."

Yu Sha raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Wangling, and he did not miss the blue-black eyes. He knew that this person must have been busy with government affairs for days and hadn't had a good rest for a while.

He glanced at Yu Wangling, lowered his head, and replied: "I haven't counted the situation today."

He didn't wait for Yu Wangling to question, but just relaxed his expression, and said slowly: "I just know that you moved the Li family in too much haste, and the timing was not good. In addition, the Lijiang River has been at ease for so long, and people's hearts are scattered. Sudden accidents happen, so naturally everyone is going to sweep the door. Reputation and trust are not worth mentioning at this moment. As long as there are sparks in the key places, the power of starting a prairie fire is right in front of you."

He looked at Yu Wangling: "If you can use the Iron Armored Army, or if Yu Duanjiang is on the same page with you, or if these nobles can see the situation correctly, these are just minor troubles. Can do well."

He looked out of the window and said: "Don't talk about these noble families who cherish feathers. Even the hawkers and butchers who walk through the streets have their own thoughts. If you are tired, you have to rest, and if you are afraid, you have to hide. Thinking about it, it was just a shadow of a bow and a snake, and now I will only do things to make myself feel at ease at that moment."

"If you have to say where I am better than you, maybe this is it." Yu Sha turned his head and said flatly: "The victory lies in my deep understanding that there are not so many smart people in the world."

Listening to his tone, Yu Wangling answered, "It's Lu Hua."

Yu Sha laughed and said, "Yes, it's Lu Hua."

"I have never understood why there is still a way to seek perfection. Everyone should be able to have a better ending. But some people refuse to do so."

Yu Sha's eyes suddenly looked far away, and he said slowly: "I used to complain, but I didn't understand. Until these days, watching them one by one would rather fight to the death than listen to my grievances, Only then can I understand this truth.”

He looked into Yu Wangling's eyes and said, "People are not pawns, so how can they be accurate?"

Yu Wangling sat across from Yu Sha, and he had already finished asking what he should have asked.

At this moment, he should go.

But when he looked at Yu Sha, he still had doubts in his heart, and he still had something to ask.

He knew he shouldn't ask, maybe this was just another situation where the person in front of him was dying, but he was bewitched by the atmosphere at this moment, and he couldn't help but want to explore, and wanted to know what else this person was hiding.

"I have one last question." Yu Wangling looked at Yu Sha steadfastly, and finally opened his mouth: "According to what you said, as long as I open the city gate and follow your plan, I made a mistake at the last moment." Judging, then Guan Lan has already left the city safely. At this moment, you have won everything, even if you don't leave the Lijiang River with Guan Lan, there is absolutely no reason to stay here to see me, what plan do you have?"

Yu Sha looked at Yu Wangling for a long time, then smiled.

"Last night, I lured Wei Jian into the Xicheng military camp. I saw a man, followed him to a place, and saw a military camp that shouldn't be in the Lijiang River."

Yu Wangling suddenly understood.

It turned out that he knew.

"When did you know?" Yu Wangling asked.

Yu Sha said: "I was playing music at Fenghua Terrace on the [-]nd of that day. When I left for the last time, there were quite a few refugees on the street. Mu Yao also dressed in the same way and mixed in with them. I guessed something at the time. But I can't confirm it. .”

Yu Wangling's eyelids twitched, and he said, "So you use Wei Jian not only to get involved with Jinzhan Pavilion, but also to test me?"

Yu Sha said: "If you don't have this thought, even if the team is cut off, as long as the Iron Armored Army is still there, the security of the Lijiang River will not go wrong. Why are you in such a hurry? Mu Yao must go and investigate clearly."

"You are so anxious that you don't want to take a moment to catch your breath. I don't know if it's because you are saving others by yourself, but if you take a look, it won't take too long."

Yu Sha said this lightly: "It's not surprising when you think about it. How can you really obey people's orders with your personality. Not only are there so many refugees who fled from the Lijiang River, but you also have assets. You have to raise some soldiers in your hands , how are you at ease?"

At this moment, Yu Wangling felt as if his throat was being choked, and said, "I can let you die here."

Yu Sha said: "Prince Li's mansion has already been defeated, the bliss prescription herb has been destroyed, and Li Yuxin's last bargaining chip is gone. What do you think she will do when she sees that I am still alive?"

Yu Wangling's brain suddenly felt pain again.

That's right, the Rao Lanping incident was nominally Yu Shaomiao's funeral. Now that Yu Shaomiao is still alive, it is self-evident.

But things have come to this point, even if Ling Yun and Yu Sha are killed now, their every move has long been under the eyes of the Lijiang nobles.If there is a conflict at this time, the civil strife will be directly brought to the fore, which will directly alarm the court.

This was Yu Sha's last bargaining chip, pinched on his throat accurately.

Yu Wangling was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud, until he coughed.

After a long time, he stopped laughing and spoke again, already accepting the result: "What do you want?"

"Si En's, and the lives of those little beggars who were arrested in Zilufang." Yu Sha said: "There is also the person who helped me and Guan Lan escape in Jinzhan Pavilion a few days ago. No accident, it should be Lujiang." .You let her go and let her leave with Si En."

"If you do this, I will admit the Raolanping incident together with the charges of assassinating nobles in various places in Pingchunfang a few days ago. I only said that I conspired with Mrs. Lingyun to flatter the court and comfort the Lijiang River for you. Gentleman."

After hearing his plan, Yu Wangling had already fully thought of his plan: "You are not an ordinary person, you are Xie Pinlan's son, and you are also close to Xie Jingrong. The court knows about this, and will bring you back to Dingzhou for interrogation first." .”

Yu Sha said: "So I will live for a long time, in a place where you can't reach for a long time."

Yu Wangling answered: "So once I break my promise, the imperial court will immediately know that I am in the Lijiang private military camp."

Yu Sha pushed the cup of tea that Yu Wangling detested earlier to his eyes again, and said, "Let them go, and let me keep my mouth shut."

He withdrew his hand from fiddling with the teacup, and said the last sentence: "Until the day you decide to raise your troops."
