Liang Jianyan

When Qi Zhaoyan came to Fengshu Pavilion for an audience, the emperor had not yet arrived.It took about half an hour before Liang Xuanliang came.Qi Zhaoyan saw that he looked bad, and knew that he must be in a bad mood.When he came out of Fengshu Pavilion, he asked the palace people, and only then did he know that Liang Xuanliang had gone to Mo Xiangxuan.

He actually went to see Yan Chen again.

Qi Zhaoyan really felt a headache - he had been by Liang Xuanliang's side for several years, and he knew Liang Xuanliang's temperament very well.My lord is decisive and wise, and he should be a wise lord in the prosperous age. He is willing to create this great river and mountain for Liang Xuanliang, so he has to take precautions before they happen.

Yan Chen, no matter in terms of status or ability, would pose a threat to Liang Xuanliang.

Besides, His Majesty, he still... oh...

Is it really only...

A few days later, Liang Xuanliang sent someone to take care of Sima Yan, and also released Yan Chen's confinement—instead of letting him go to the cold palace to see Sima Yan, it is better to let him be free, so that he can know that I am not as ruthless as he thought .

Yan Chen doesn't take it seriously - it's just a means to buy people's hearts, who will accept your love.

However, this gave him a good chance.Ever since Sima Yan's finger was cut off by a poisonous voice, Yan Chen had always been suspicious.After much deliberation, he still found a way. He found a court lady whose hometown was in Lingnan, and asked her to help inquire about Wang Yizhen's whereabouts after returning home from the palace.Today I happened to go to the post station to see if there was a letter from the maid.

He walked along the street, but as he walked, he felt that something was wrong behind him-someone was following him.Yan Chen's face remained calm, but he quickened his pace, and when he reached a turn in an alley, he turned around sharply, and the Feiyan dagger in his hand was placed on the man's neck.

The man was startled for a moment, but immediately replied indifferently.He smiled and said: "Mr. Yan, when we separated for three years, did you bully me, a powerless civil servant?"

"It's Yan Chen who is reckless." Yan Chen took back the knife, "However, Mr. Qi's sneaking business is much easier than it was four years ago."

Qi Zhaoyan straightened his clothes, and said to Yan Chen: "Hey, I'm not a thief, I just drop in with you for dinner."

How about a jug of wine together?

"it is good."

They came to a clean and elegant wine shop.This wine shop is full of literati calligraphy and paintings, and there are drums and zithers.Most of the people who come here to drink are literati and scholars, and it is rare to see people dressed as generals like Yan Chen.Coupled with his handsome appearance, he naturally attracted everyone's attention, even the servant couldn't help but look at him more.However, Yan Chen was unmoved, he picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and said loudly: "Okay!"

Qi Zhaoyan asked, "What's the matter?"

"Good wine, good poems, good paintings, and joy." He read in a leisurely voice, "How many flowers fall into the wind and sand, and once they enter the Imperial Capital Garden of Flowers."

"Oh, I'm afraid that these flowers can only be snowflakes in the sky after winter." Qi Zhaoyan sighed, "The imperial capital is not as prosperous as it used to be."

"The imperial capital is no longer prosperous, aren't you still shining?" Serving wine to Qi Zhaoyan, Yan Chen said that I haven't congratulated you on your promotion, and served him.

Qi Zhaoyan smiled and said that he was just a servant under the door, and he was far from a hero like Yan Langjun.

Yan Chen said, Qi Shizhong is modest.

Now that you are under thirty, you are sitting in the position of the second-rank waiter. Everyone must envy you.Besides, Yan Chen only knows how to march and fight, so he is far behind you in terms of scheming.

"Hahaha... Yan Chen, why did you find me when you found me?"

"There is a gap in Qi Shizhong's chest, and it's not something I can step into."

Qi Zhaoyan looked at Yan Chen, and said calmly: "You gave me the map of Turks back then, and asked me to hand it over to His Majesty on your behalf. He said that if His Majesty would let you go free, you would agree to go to war."

But you are still living in the temple, I wonder if you can go back on your word?

"What's the use of regretting or not?" Speaking of this, Yan Chen felt a little sore in his heart, he said that you should ask Liang Xuanliang if you regret agreeing to me at the beginning.

But he doesn't regret it later, don't I still stay here?

"I don't know if Your Majesty regrets it or not." Qi Zhaoyan said, "But I regret it."

As a minister, it is a good thing for the country, but it is not a good omen for His Majesty.

His fingers couldn't help trembling, Yan Chen stared at Qi Zhaoyan's kind smile, always wanting to pour the wine in his hand on his face. "I didn't expect Master Qi to be so outspoken after three years of absence."

Why, now that I am afraid that my meritorious deeds will be close to me, Liang Xuanliang can do nothing to me?Afraid that I will kill him again?

"As a courtier, naturally you have to think more about His Majesty and plan ahead." Qi Zhaoyan took the wine glass from Yan Chen's hand, "For example, before Lord Yan Lang wants to pour wine on me, I'll drink your wine first." He raised his head. After finishing his glass of wine, Qi Zhaoyan followed Yan Chen's example and shouted "OK".

The literati and poets in the winery all cast contemptuous glances at the two of them.

The advantage of dealing with smart people is that you don't have to worry about how to word your words, but the disadvantage is that you have to spend your time trying to guess the meaning of the other person's words.So did the two of them.As the saying goes, differences do not conspire with each other, but God seems to want to make things difficult for Yan Chen, letting him and Liang Xuanjing work together.

It also involved troubles like Qi Zhaoyan.

Qi Zhaoyan said, since there is God's will, why don't we be friends?

Alas, in the final analysis, Mr. Yan Lang is too ruthless to me, you see, you still keep the Feiyan dagger that His Majesty gave you.The unicorn jade pendant I gave you is gone.Oh, it really breaks my heart.

Wise men always contest inadvertently.Yan Chen doesn't think that he is the character of a saint who can calmly discuss with others. Even though he always thinks that benevolence is the head of the emperor, he still doesn't allow others to touch his bottom line.

Qi Zhaoyan felt that Yan Chen's words were just a show of force - if you can really stick to yourself, why did you become what you are now.

"...Heh, it seems that there is nothing good about dealing with smart people." Yan Chen said, "I don't want to waste my brain, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I just want to remind you not to do things that cross the line."

"Crossing the line?" Yan Chen thought it was funny, saying that I was just walking on the street, why did I cross the line?

Qi Zhaoyan also smiled, "So, I'm reminding you."

You and I are not on the same road in the first place, and it is kind of me to remind you like this.

"Oh? What if I don't want to listen to your reminder?"

"Then Qi can only feel sorry for Lord Yan."

The seemingly modest words are like a needle hidden in the words.Yan Chen looked at Qi Zhaoyan expressionlessly, and asked coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

Qi Zhaoyan still smiled gently and said, "I'm threatening you."

Your Majesty is young and energetic, so it is inevitable that there will be impulsive moments.As a courtier, you must not let the things in front of you blind the eyes of the monarch.It is impossible for me to let Your Majesty pay attention to a person who should not be paying attention.

Yan Chen was taken aback, but he spoke very easily, "Oh? It seems that Qi Shizhong is going to kill me?"

"It's possible."

Such a strange atmosphere circled back and forth between the two of them, and the hand holding Feiyan's dagger was sweating a little.

After a while, the fingers were slowly released, and the corners of Yan Chen's mouth were slightly raised.He picked up the wine glass and touched Qi Zhaoyan's glass, "It's too vulgar to fight with each other." He raised his glass and said, let's taste wine and discuss poetry.

"That's right." Qi Zhaoyan held up his wine glass, "Come on, Qi will toast you."

"Please."

...Could it be that Qi Zhaoyan discovered something?

If he found something, he could follow me to the station, so why invite me to drink to test me?

Or is he just warning me...

Such doubts and worries continued to hover in his heart, causing Yan Chen to be absent-minded on the way to the post station.The people at the post station brought him letters, but he didn't read much, and hurried back to the palace.Along the way, he always paid attention to the sounds around him, for fear that someone would follow him.

Back at Mo Xiangxuan, Yan Chen walked to his room without saying a word.Seeing that his complexion was not good, Young Young was a little worried, so he said that he felt a little stuffy in his chest, and sent Young Young to Bai Xu's place to order some loquat.After the young man left, he closed the door and opened the letter.

The above is only a few words, but it tells a thing that Yan Chen can't believe.

[Wang's group sent to Lingnan four years ago recruited bandits on the road, and they all died. 】

Zou Bingxian, Shi Weizhe, Zhao He...

...and Wang Yizheng, they...are they all dead? ! !

For a moment, like a thunderbolt struck his heart, countless conjectures flashed through Yan Chen's mind, and no matter how he tried to explain himself, he could only come to one conclusion——Liang Xuanjing lied to him.

A sense of frustration and loss mixed with a little bit of sadness and anger, as well as unwillingness, surged towards him, as if to hollow out Yan Chen's body.He felt a tight pain in his chest, and actually coughed up a mouthful of blood.The blood splattered on the letter seemed to outline the souls of those who died under the knife that day, making Yan Chen even more heartbroken.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, sat down on the table, reached out and lit the candle lamp, and burned the letter.Faint blood spread in the flames, and then disappeared.

When Young came back, he saw Yan Chen lying on the table.He was startled, called "Master", and helped Yan Chen up, but saw bloodstains on Yan Chen's lips.

"grown ups!"

Tao is sentient, but it is ruthless.If you want to be sincere, why not be cruel?

It was already midnight, but Mo Xiangxuan still gathered a lot of people - Bai Xu rushed over when he learned that Yan Chen was vomiting blood.He sent people to report to the emperor quickly, and Liang Xuanliang also came after a while.Bai Xu administered needles and medicine to Yan Chen, and took ice cubes for him to keep in his mouth.After tossing like this until midnight, Yan Chen's situation finally stabilized.

"How is he doing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Master Yan's situation is no longer serious. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Bai Xu thought for a while, and whispered in Liang Xuanliang's ear: "Master Yan is out of breath this time, and hurt his spleen and lungs. The regret in his body has invaded his lungs, and I'm afraid it will make him weaker. If we don’t give the second dose of medicine, I’m afraid he will collapse and die.”

"What?" Liang Xuanliang opened his eyes wide, "Didn't you say that this medicine is not life-threatening to him?!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Bai Xu was also terrified. He said that under normal circumstances, it would never pose a threat to human life, but Master Yan's lungs have been broken, and with the sequelae of previous cough, the consumption is too heavy. It is not optimistic.

Please Your Majesty, make a decision early.

"... I know." Liang Xuanliang sighed, "I will guard here, you go outside and wait outside. If there is anything wrong with Jun Ran, I will call you."

"The minister obeys the order."

After sending away the people in the house, Liang Xuanliang sat beside Yan Chen's bed.The man's face was as pale as paper, and after the blood on his lips was wiped off, only a bleak gray remained.

He couldn't help but think of Yan Chen who was dancing his sword under the falling flowers, his appearance was radiant, and his every move was so radiant that he couldn't look away.

The Junran in front of him is rather pitiful.

For a moment the tenderness was like water, he gently stroked Yan Chen's hair.

...Why are you torturing yourself like this?

There was a gust of wind in the dark part of the room, and the dark guard appeared at the junction of light and shadow.He knelt on the ground and said "Master".

Liang Xuanliang's gaze was still on Yan Chen, "Have you checked it out?"

"Yes." The secret guard returned, "Yan Chen went to the post today, and the person in charge said that he took a letter."

"A letter?" His hands froze, and Liang Xuanliang's eyes instantly turned cold, "What letter?"

"The subordinates couldn't find the letter, but the person in charge said it was sent from Lingnan."

Lingnan...

Taking a deep breath, Liang Xuanliang said calmly: "Tell the steward of the post station that all letters from Yan Chen will be handed over to me in the future, and Yan Chen is not allowed."

"Yes." The dark guard replied, "This subordinate still has something to report."

"Say."

"Today Qi Zhaoyan invited Yan Chen to drink."

Liang Xuanliang's eyes moved slightly - Qi Zhaoyan? ! !
