twilight endless

I don't know if it's because of the coldness in people's hearts, or because the blizzard from Mount Ana finally swept Fengzhou, overwhelming everything and forcibly turning everything into a lifeless plain white. Twilight only felt that the coldness tonight had never been seen before. Twilight ate an extra bowl of rice, and was about to add another bowl, suddenly remembered what Ruier said, hurriedly put the bowl down, and looked at Zhou Ji who was sitting in it with guilt, as expected, he was disgusted by Zhou Ji look.

Zhou Ji finished his meal first, and now he was sitting in the inner room drinking tea and reading a book, watching Mu Hui eat three bowls of rice in a row, but turning a blind eye to Rui Er who was opposite him who didn't move his chopsticks, he couldn't help feeling disgusted by Mu Hui's lack of look, and ruthlessly He gave him a hard look, motioning for him to persuade Rui'er.

Twilight received the signal, put a large bowl of rice in front of Ruier, and softly persuaded: "Eat quickly."

Rui'er sat without moving, only looking at the silk handkerchief in his hand.

"Don't look at it." Twilight persuaded again, "Let's eat first."

Rui'er still didn't move, Zhou Ji couldn't stand it any longer, came out and pushed the rice bowl in front of Rui'er, and ordered: "I've seen it, remembered it, don't think about it, eat quickly!"

Rui'er picked up the chopsticks and ate two mouthfuls, then put it down, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Ji, and asked, "King Xun, when shall we go to Ana Kingdom again?"

Zhou Yu felt a little distressed for Ruier's persistence, and said in a rare soft voice: "When the time comes, go."

"What kind of timing?" Ruier asked.

"A chance for Yeyi to kill himself." Zhou Ji saw the fanaticism and anticipation in Rui'er's eyes, thought for a while and sat down opposite him, and said, "It's been more than a year since your Sparrowhawk brought back Ana There are a lot of news in the country, and Yang Shuo also secretly investigated a lot. As we know, King Ana has long been terminally ill. It is to secure the seat of heir. However, King Ana is not only a son of Hu Yeyi, but also divided into several factions in the clan. Some people still remember the tragic battle of Fengchuan, and think that the Mo clan and Zhou You have different hatreds. I couldn’t get used to Yeyi’s submission to Zhou You, so she turned to support the other sons of King Ana.” Zhou Ji sighed, “Actually, the present Kingdom of Ana is nothing to be afraid of, just with the five we brought. The Thousand Seven Killing Army, borrowing another [-] soldiers from Fengzhou, is enough to conquer the country of Ana. But the emperor has his concerns. He is getting older, and he cares more and more about the reputation of benevolence. He wants to see all nations come to court Shengjing, so he forbids me to start a war."

"That said, it's hard to wait for this opportunity." Rui'er was a little disappointed, "The emperor will only get older and older."

"I don't think it will be too long." Zhou Yu said, "In the past, there were not only the Mo people in the northern barbarians, but all kinds of tribes, large and small, were scattered on the vast ice sheet to survive. The aquatic plants were able to develop and grow. But it is a pity that they lack people's hearts and are greedy for the scenery on the south bank of Fengchuan, which eventually led to the Fengchuan War. Resources, rapid rise. Now there are other tribes of the Northern Man in the northeast, northwest and north of the country of Ana. According to Yang Shuo's investigation, the largest one seems to be called Woga, which is divided by Mount Ana. It is divided into east and west. In fact, it is very uncomfortable for the country of Ana to be caught in the middle, which is another reason why Yeyi surrendered to Zhou You. However, those Mo people in the country of Ana who regard Zhou You as an enemy do not understand it. Yeyi's intentions, they wanted to elect Huyeyi's younger brother Ji Awa as the leader, and unite with Dongwoga to fight against You. But in order to win people's hearts, Huyeyi also began to waver, and frequently contacted Xiwoga." Zhou Ji disliked it. He came to a conclusion, "I think Hu Yeyi is playing dead by doing this."

"I understand." Rui'er suddenly realized, "That's why King Xun told Hu Yeyi not to change the road after choosing it."

"Exactly!" Zhou Ji suddenly sighed, "Although I don't want to admit it, you are indeed much better than that little fool of my family in terms of brain."

"Thank you King Xun for your compliment." Rui'er brought the topic back in embarrassment, "Then how far does King Xun think Yei is dead before we can send troops?"

"It depends on the patience of the emperor."

"What if the emperor can bear it?"

"No." Zhou Yu was very sure, "Father is not a person who can tolerate sand in his eyes. He hates people's double-faced swords the most. Besides, Vogar can't bear it for too long."

"Rui'er understands, Rui'er will wait for the day when the Seven Killing Army crosses Fengchuan again." Rui'er finished speaking solemnly, lowered his head and began to bury his meal without saying a word.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but dislike him in his heart: "Ghost spirit!"

After resting in Bieyuan for three days, the snow fell for three days. When the snow stopped, Zhou Yu finally waited for the person he most wanted to see on this trip north.

Yang Xuan, who has passed his sixtieth year, is helped into the house by his nephew Yang Shuo. When he sees Zhou Yu, he is about to salute, but Zhou Ji stops him first.Looking at Yang Xuan's gray hair, Zhou Yu had mixed feelings: "Uncle suffered in the imperial tomb."

Yang Xuan shook his head, held Zhou Kai's hand for a good look, and said with satisfaction: "Ja'er has grown up, I am very happy."

"The gatha is useless." Zhou Ji blamed himself very much, "I have made my uncle suffer so many years in the imperial mausoleum. If my cousin hadn't asked my father to grant my uncle, who has passed the age of sixty, to return home this time, the gatha would not be worth it." I know when I can take my uncle back."

"Don't say that, without your secret influence, the emperor wouldn't be able to agree so easily just by Shuo'er's performance."

"Ja'er does not hold the real power in the court, so there is only so much he can do now."

"Then you..." Yang Xuan hesitated and asked, "Are you still planning to stay idle like this?" Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't say yes or no, Yang Xuan added, "If you want to do something, this is the best time."

"I understand. Now that the Liang Party is in full swing, my father wants to use the Yang family again. This time, taking the opportunity of welcoming the spirits back to the capital, my father ordered me to bring five thousand and seven killing troops to stay in Baoting County. I gave my cousin a secret decree." Zhou Ji took out a wax-sealed yellow envelope from his close-fitting pocket as he spoke.Seeing this, Yang Shuo quickly knelt down to accept the order, then opened the letter and read it with Zhou Yu and Yang Xuan.

"King Hong and Xiwoga are secretly connected?" Yang Xuan was a little surprised, "Why is he doing this?"

"It's just fighting in the same room." Zhou Yu was very indifferent, "Liang Situ is old, the eldest son and the second son died early, the third son is useless, and the youngest son Liang Ming is serving in the army. Liang Dang has the intention of pushing Zesheng to be the leader. It's just that Zesheng is a noble person who doesn't look down on Zhou Xin's worldliness, but he is closer to Zhou Chu. Zhou Xin knew that he couldn't tie Zesheng, so he wanted to tie Liang Ming. People are of the same age, like-minded, and very reciprocal.”

"Could it be that King Hong wants to cause border wars so that he can go out with Liang Ming to gain military merit?" Yang Xuan guessed.

"There is indeed such a sign." Yang Shuo said, "I have seen the letter carvings of the Seven Killing Army traveling to and from North Sichuan Road."

"Zhou Xin is the Weiwei of the Northern Army of the Seven Killing Army in the capital city, and also the assistant Sima. He supervises all the border military affairs. It is not easy to use a few letter carvings? The Taoist prefect of Chuanbei Road was also recommended by Zhou Xin." Zhou Xin recommended. With a cold snort, "I'm afraid Zhou Xin has given his father a secret performance on the frontier."

"But the emperor doesn't seem to have full faith in King Hong." Yang Shuo held up the secret decree of Emperor Wuxing and said, "The emperor ordered me to secretly guard the North Sichuan Road and pay attention to the actions of Ana Kingdom and Voga."

"Royal father has always been suspicious." There was an indescribable chill in Zhou Yu's expression, "We just speculated that Zhou Xin wanted to provoke a border war, and royal father may have begun to suspect that Zhou Xin was collaborating with the enemy and traitorous, and borrowed troops to force the palace."

"How is this possible?" Yang Shuo couldn't believe it. "Even if King Hong covets the throne, he wouldn't take such a risk, right? He's simply seeking skin from a tiger, and if he doesn't do it, he might even lure wolves into his house. It's more straightforward to assassinate other princes than to go around this detour. The risk is still small."

"Sho'er!" Yang Xuan was a little annoyed, "Why are you so unrestrained?"

"Uncle taught me the lesson." Yang Shuo knew that he had slipped his words, and hurriedly bowed to Zhou Yu, "I also ask King Xun to forgive me."

"It's okay, my cousin's words are superficial, but they are true." Zhou Ji said helplessly, "How can soldiers be so easy to borrow, if you borrow, you have to pay back."

"You mean Xiwoga also wants to borrow troops?" Yang Xuan understood what Zhou Yu was referring to, "Do you want the west wind to blow across the entire northern desert?"

"That makes sense." Zhou Ji nodded, "Otherwise, how could Xiwoga talk to Zhou Xin?"

"Then how should we deal with it?" Yang Shuo asked, "Apart from being on guard according to the order, do we need to do anything else?"

"It depends on the meaning of gatha." Yang Xuan asked Zhou gatha meaningfully, "How do you plan?"

"Me?" Zhou Ji understood what Yang Xuan was referring to, and said clearly at once, "I just want to bring the disaster to the country of Ana, destroy the country of Ana, and kill Huyeyi. I have no other ideas."

"Okay." Yang Xuan seemed to have guessed Zhou Yu's answer a long time ago, so he tacitly said nothing, and told Yang Shuo, "Then according to King Xun's intention, you can handle it yourself."

"Yes."

"Gatha." Yang Xuan couldn't help persuading Zhou Yu in turn, "I know you are not interested in the imperial court's schemes, but in this world of imperial power, if you don't grow full of thorns, you will be injured by other people's sharp knives. Do you really want to keep going?"

"Uncle understands all the gatha that uncle said, but if he can persist now, let's wait..." Zhou Ga looked at Twilight standing by the door, and said softly, "Don't worry, uncle. On that day, Ji'er will not be merciful."

When Yang Xuan heard this, he didn't say any more, and asked again: "How long will Ji'er stay here?"

"I can't afford to delay, I need to take advantage of the severe winter to return to the imperial mausoleum for burial as soon as possible. If the weather is still sunny tomorrow, we will start our journey tomorrow."

"Yeah." Yang Xuan nodded and talked about the daily life, "How is the queen?"

"There are good times and bad times, sometimes I remember and sometimes I don't remember, and sometimes I don't even know who I am." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, "I saw me several times but called my elder brother's baby name."

"Hey..." Yang Xuan sighed for a long time, "The emperor punished all members of the Yang clan to return to their fiefdoms and not to be official. There is no clan member in this huge imperial capital who can accompany her to talk about herself. She only has you. You have to enter the palace more often." Go and stay with her."

"Ya'er knows."
