The fate of Langya Bang Xu Sansheng
Chapter 1
chapter
?Nihuang recommended himself, and Meng Zhi quickly divided his army into two, handing over [-] troops to be led by Nihuang. The two of them marched straight in when Yuyin was fighting with the imperial army of Dayu, and went straight to Dayu. Yu barracks.
Dayu's side has long been demoralized by rumors of Yuyin's rebellion.The lieutenant who was left by Yuyin to guard the border knew Yuyin's true purpose, and swore allegiance to him to the death.It's just that with these tens of thousands of generals, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it's not that he can stabilize the overall situation by blindly controlling them.So in just two days, the unstable Chongqing army retreated dozens of miles and lost a city.
On the evening of the third day, the north wind was raging and hunting.Mei Changsu and Lin Chen each rode a fine horse, with their cloaks flying in the wind, standing majestically on the top of the mountain.
This is a valley where the Yu army retreated after losing a city.
"In the past three days, the Dayu side has lost nearly half of its troops. This battle is another ambush to destroy them. I think the following two cities will soon be in your pocket."
Lin Chen smiled against the wind, and his loud voice made people neigh in shock, and the rock-shattering valley trembled.
Mei Changsu raised the reins, and said solemnly: "So, I should prepare to return to Jinling. After the three cities are captured, Brother Meng can just leave and deal with the rest."
"That's right, the battle in Jianzhou was so close that neither Yuyin nor the Emperor Dayu had time to come to help here. In this way, the battle of Jianzhou and the loss of three cities here in a row, no matter whether they are Whoever wins in the end, it will be difficult to restore the rest of their lives just to rebuild the national power. The prince will be relaxed in the future."
On the top of the mountain, the two chatted casually.At the foot of the mountain, there are thousands of cavalry, with sharp swords and halberds flying, and the sound of gold and iron colliding pierces the sky, and there is only a bloody breath left in the world, which makes the wind and thunder change color.
"Let's go, don't look at it. According to what you said, go back and pack up and get ready to go." Lin Chen turned around with the rein in hand, but Mei Changsu didn't respond, and just fixed his eyes on a certain place down the mountain.
Looking from a distance, the jade face is hazy, but the white feather and silver helmet is still shining brightly under the gray sky.Nihuang, with her silver armor like snow, stands proudly on the horse, watching the slaughter in front of her.
At this point in the war, there is no need for her, the coach, to personally fight the enemy.And she, as long as she holds the rein and lifts the gun here, she will be powerful and powerful.
"Lin Chen, you should go back first. I want to see her return in triumph."
It's her, not them.The gold and iron horse, the light of the knife is like training, and the blood is like the tide. At this moment, in his eyes, they are not as heroic and breathtaking as that man.
Mei Changsu's gaze was focused on the female marshal of the southern border, Lin Chen raised the rein again and turned back, looking down the mountain from afar.
"Her?... Changsu, are you finally enlightened?"
Lin Chen looked at his best friend with a smile, and Mei Changsu sighed against the wind: "My heart is always clear. But it's God's will."
"What are you talking about God's will?" Lin Chen sneered, "Isn't there another saying that people can conquer heaven?"
Mei Changsu looked sideways at him, with a faint smile on his lips: "You are still comforting me now, the three-month period has passed more than half. Even if we are inseparable today, it is just adding a few strokes to her sad memories. What's the benefit?"
"What does it mean to be beneficial to her? Changsu, do you know what your biggest problem is? You like to judge others by yourself! It's her meaning, she knows it herself. As for the future, aren't you still dead? As the saying goes, God's will is unpredictable, how do you know there are no miracles?"
Lin Chen glanced at him and turned his horse over, "I'm leaving, I won't hinder you."
The fighting stopped at Haishi, and when the valley was quiet again, Mei Changsu picked up the reins and headed back down the mountain along the winding path.
Nihuang returned victorious, returning to the barracks earlier than Mei Changsu.However, when she returned home and didn't see the person she wanted to see, her heart couldn't help but lift up again.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean that brother doesn't want to come back? It's dark now, and the mountain road is rough and dangerous. How can you let him be there alone?"
Nihuang's face was full of anger and displeasure, Lin Chen raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and said disapprovingly: "I persuaded him, but he refused to come back with me, he insisted on staying there to watch you return in triumph. I can't Drag him back. It’s hard for me to show my true feelings, and I’m quite moved when I see it.”
"Look at me?" The female general who commanded [-] troops and remained unchanged in the rain of spears and swords froze, her cheeks were becoming red and her eyes were soft and tender.
After being dazed for a moment, she regained her solemn look, turned around and went straight away without saying a word.
"Where is the princess going?" Meng Zhi called out, and Lin Chen gave him a disdainful look, "Where else can I go? Of course I went to find someone."
As soon as the words fell, the tent door was gently pushed open, and Mei Changsu entered from the outside, meeting Nihuang who had already reached the door.
"Brother." Nihuang couldn't hide the worry on her face, Mei Changsu knew what she meant, and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, the mountain road is difficult to walk at night, and I'm late, so you are worried."
At this time Nihuang already had thousands of words lingering in her heart, but there were other people in the tent, so she could only hold back and didn't say much.Seeing that Mei Changsu's face turned pale, she comforted her, "It's good to be back safely. The frontline battle is over. The enemy has lost nearly [-] troops in this battle. The two cities behind are already in our pocket, brother can feel at ease." gone."
Before she finished speaking, her hand naturally supported Mei Changsu's arm.In full view, Mei Changsu didn't show any unnaturalness, instead he raised his hand to cover hers.
"With you by my side, I feel at ease."
The coolness in her palm made Nihuang feel a little sad, she didn't say anything more, but helped Mei Changsu to sit in front of the desk.After personally taking the stove and handing it over to him, he asked, "When does elder brother plan to return to Jinling?"
"The day after tomorrow." Mei Changsu said, then looked at Meng Zhi, "Tomorrow, Brother Meng will lead Chen Sheng to pursue and take down the remaining two cities."
"That's no problem. As for today's battle, the soldiers still can't get enough of it. I wish I could chase them out overnight." After three consecutive days of fighting, countless enemies were wiped out. Meng Zhi was at a time when he was full of ambition and full of confidence.
Mei Changsu smiled faintly, "That's good." After finishing speaking, he looked at Nihuang, "Tomorrow, I will have to trouble you."
"Brother, you can just order. Why do you and I have to be so alien?" Nihuang replied with a gentle expression.
Mei Changsu nodded, and continued: "Before, in order not to startle the snake, I have never taken any action against Xiao Zhuo of Yinzhou City. Now, I can take action. Tomorrow, please lead 1 people to take Yinzhou City as quickly as possible. Strictly control and not allow any news to leak out. In addition, Xiao Zhuo will be imprisoned in the mansion and handed over to Jing Yan for decision in the future."
"It's a trivial matter. Brother, you can rest assured." Nihuang raised her eyebrows and smiled, her proud demeanor was convincing.
☆、Chapter 18
?The next day, Meng Zhi's relatives led troops to attack the city where the Yu army was retreating, and the other side, led by Nihuang, suddenly pointed their swords at Yinzhou City.The results of these two actions were within Mei Changsu's expectations, so he wasn't worried at all.What he was worried about was still Xiao Jingyan who was far away in Jinling, so at noon that day, the young pavilion master who knew everything about the world brought him good news.
"Here, here you are, the prince's reply letter. I just said that the prince is not made of mud. Although he was a little blunt and thoughtful before. But under your guidance in the past two years, I think it has also benefited a lot. You better take your time off."
Lin Chen teased eccentrically, but his eyebrows that had been frowned for a few days finally relaxed a little.
Mei Changsu immediately took the letterhead from him, his eyes quickly scanned the familiar handwriting, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Jing Yan's trick is ingenious. He really has improved a lot. I underestimated him." gone."
After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Chen in an instant, "Don't worry about it, he is the prince after all, you should respect him at least. After all, I am both a friend and a subject, and the gift of a monarch and a minister cannot be discarded." .”
"You people are troublesome." Lin Chen snorted, sat down with his sleeves folded, and smiled again: "However, I am very happy to think that I will leave this cold and barren land tomorrow. And you, get ready Yet?"
Mei Changsu froze for a moment, "What can I prepare for?"
"Princess, we have just met and we are going to be separated again, are you ready here?" The young pavilion master poked his chest as a gesture.
Mei Changsu frowned slightly, and only asked, "Why do we have to separate?"
"No separation." Fei Liu, who was fiddling with a delicate dagger at the side, said crisply.
Lin Chen cast a sideways glance at Fei Liu, turned his gaze back to Mei Changsu, and said dryly, "Could it be that you can agree that she will go back to Jinling with you?"
"why not?"
"Changsu..." Lin Chen seemed to be in high spirits, and leaned towards Mei Changsu, his eyes glistening with teasing, "Hey, have you forgotten who she is? Female general. Now that the war in the southern border has not completely subsided, there are many matters waiting for her to make decisions in Yunnan city. Is it appropriate for you to lead others to travel with you all the way?"
"There's nothing inappropriate." Mei Changsu's blandness stunned the Young Pavilion Master for a moment.
Mei Changsu stared at someone's dumbfounded face for a while, then pursed his lips slightly, and casually took out a letter from the scroll on the case, "I just received it this morning. Everything in the southern region is stable, and Mu Qing not only The sporadic wars on the front line have been completely quelled, and all affairs, large and small, have been taken care of in an orderly manner. Now that Yunnan is in peace and stability, there is really no need for Nihuang to rush back to take charge of the overall situation."
"Ah You……"
The Young Pavilion Master jumped up suddenly, poked Sect Master Mei's head with his hand and shouted, "Mei Changsu, you are too much. Even though your intelligence network is not inferior to mine, you still find trouble for me every day and order me around. You are here!" Is that how you treat your savior? It’s you who are ungrateful and ungrateful.”
Mei Changsu shook his head lightly, quite helplessly, "I really didn't investigate this on purpose. It was the people who were arranged in Yunnan before knowing that Nihuang had left the country, so I was worried about the situation there, so they reported it themselves."
"Oh..." Lin Chen dragged on a long tone with unknown meaning, and then pulled out a smirk, "So you have been secretly caring about the Princess."
"Did you just find out today?" Mei Changsu gave him a cool look.
Lin Chen curled his lips, "Of course I didn't just find out today. I was just worried that someone wouldn't know. It was a waste of your ten years of painstaking efforts. If you don't do it well, people will only think you are cold-hearted and cold-hearted. I haven't looked for her for more than ten years."
"She won't." Mei Changsu sighed softly, "I know what I mean, and I feel sorry for you. I need to ask the heavens about this feeling. There is really no need to elaborate."
"...Changsu, you are not enlightened, you are simply enlightened." The young pavilion master looked terrified, but Mei Changsu didn't bother to pay any attention to him.
In the evening, Nihuang and Meng Zhi came back one after another.The situation they reported was exactly as Mei Changsu expected, and the matter of the northern border was successfully completed.
Since they didn't care about the rest of the matter, after instructing Meng Zhi about matters, Mei Changsu, Lin Chen and others left the camp the next day and rushed towards Jinling.
After a few days of driving without rest, Mei Changsu and the others finally avoided all the eyeliners of King Yi Xiaodong and entered the East Palace in the middle of the night.
When Xiao Jingyan saw Mei Changsu, thousands of emotions surged in his heart. Seeing his tired expression and stature, he felt a burst of sadness.
"Xiao Shu, how are you? Are you okay?"
For Prince Liang, at this moment, everything can be discussed later, only the body of his best friend worries him endlessly.
Mei Changsu was already extremely tired at this time, but in order to appease Xiao Jingyan, he forced a smile, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Xiao Jingyan felt a little relieved, glanced at the few people behind him, and said: "You will be released today, let's not talk about anything else, first have a good night's rest, and discuss things tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, fearing that Mei Changsu would be worried, he added: "Everything is fine on my side, Xiao Dong's movements are under my control, so you don't need to worry."
Seeing that Xiao Jingyan was safe and sound, Mei Changsu felt at ease.In addition, at this time, I felt that my body was really unable to support me, so I didn't force myself anymore, and after a few words with him, I resigned from him.
The courtyard of the guest's residence has already been tidied up, and the stove and quilt are also intact.But when he stepped into the yard, Mei Changsu felt dizzy and his legs felt weak.When he was staggering, the lucky Nihuang grabbed him by the arm.
"Brother." Nihuang's voice was anxious, and Fei Liu hurried over, hugged Mei Changsu's arm and kept calling, "Brother Su."
"It's okay." Mei Changsu replied, his voice was already floating like a gossamer.
Lin Chen changed his usual unruly expression, his handsome face darkened, and he frowned and said, "He's too tired, please help him in."
Nihuang and Feiliu didn't delay anymore, they hurriedly helped Mei Changsu into the house.At this time, Xiao Jingyan ordered someone to bring hot water and hot rice. Mei Changsu had no appetite to eat any more, but Lin Chen sternly forced him to eat before letting him go to sleep.
Nihuang was only worried about Mei Changsu's health, and had no intention of eating. After watching Mei Changsu close his eyes and fall asleep, he pulled Lin Chen out.
"Mr. Lin, tell me, are you really helpless? Brother...does he really only have one month to live?"
At this point, the emotions that have been borne for a long time can no longer be restrained, it is the pink tears, the tenderness of the heart.
Lin Chen breathed heavily, looked at the dark night sky from a distance, and said for a long time, "I don't know. I can only say that I tried my best. As for the result, it all depends on God's will."
Helplessly sighed, like a unparalleled sharp cold blade, instantly cut the last string in Nihuang's heart.She didn't say anything, just turned around and stared at the people in the room.
"Princess." Lin Chen said, "I know that the princess is sad, but there is something I would like to advise."
"Mr. Lin, please tell me."
Nihuang said, her voice seemed to be soaked in tears.
"Changsu himself has seen through life and death, and he doesn't have much sentimentality about it. The only people he can't let go of are us. He is very afraid that we will feel sorry for him. Especially the princess, childhood sweetheart, 13 years of love, and Changsu said that the princess is different from us after all. I know that the princess is a heroine, not like those weak girls in the boudoir, so Lin Chen begged the princess to hide the sadness in his heart, don't show too much, and add more for nothing his burden."
After Lin Chen finished speaking, Nihuang remained silent for a long time, only a pair of tearful eyes remained, expressing the sadness in her heart.
☆、Chapter 19
?The night was as cold as water, and Lin Chen left after finishing what he had to say.Nihuang never left, but the location changed from outside the door to inside the door.
Mei Changsu slept very deeply that night, or rather he did not sleep peacefully, but lethargic.Also because of this, he didn't know that Nihuang sat beside his bed all night.
It's not that she's not tired, it's just that she cherishes the time that passes by.
The sky was clear, and the East Palace, which had been silent all night, gradually became noisy.Xiao Jingyan had already set up breakfast in the side hall and waited for Mei Changsu to come over.But until the food on the table was cold, he still hadn't seen Mei Changsu.At first he thought that Mei Changsu was tired and had slept too long, and after waiting, he felt something was wrong, so he came over to check it out himself.
Mei Changsu just woke up when Xiao Jingyan entered the door, struggled to get up, and saw Nihuang first.
The dark blue in Nihuang's eyes revealed her secret, and it also made Mei Changsu's heart tremble like a string.
"Xiao Shu, you haven't woken up for a long time, which makes me very worried. How is it? Are you in good health?" Xiao Jingyan didn't notice the strange emotions of the two people in the room at all, he only thought that Nihuang was seeing Mei Chang Su Chi just like him It was too late to wake up.
Mei Changsu sat up, Nihuang regained her concentration and gave him a hand, then pulled the cloak over and put it on him.Nihuang did this move naturally, and Mei Changsu took it calmly, neither of them meant to be embarrassed.
Xiao Jingyan saw that the two of them showed tenderness and warmth in every move, and felt very comforted in his heart. Then he felt that he was a little redundant, so he smiled and said: "It's good that you are fine. You wash up first, and I will wait for you to eat. Nihuang also stand up."
After speaking, he turned and left.The room was quiet, and Mei Changsu lightly held the hand of the woman beside him, and said softly, "Nihuang, you don't have to do this. I'm just too tired, and my body is fine."
"Brother, how do you know that it's not because I can't sleep that I didn't sleep all night?" Nihuang smiled sideways, and his pale complexion was stained with a crimson brilliance because of this smile.
She kept Lin Chen's words in mind, so she didn't continue the question, but let go, and turned around to fetch Mei Changsu's clothes.
"Let me help my brother change and freshen up?"
Mei Changsu was slightly taken aback, and after a while, he curled his lips slightly, "Okay."
Dressed in a light fur in a plain shirt, with a jade comb running through the ink-dyed hair, he could feel the bluntness of her technique.After all, she has been guarding Yunnan and protecting the common people all these years, and her pride is stronger than that of a man.Pingting Cardamom's bright and tender girlhood is already like a dream with her.
And these, in fact, were not what she should bear.If there was no fire in Meiling, she should have married him as a wife early, loving each other, adding fragrance to each other, and enjoying the long time quietly...
Thinking of this, Wei Liang raised her hand uncontrollably, and instead held the hand holding the jade comb.
"Nihuang, I'm sorry for you." The voice was deep, full of guilt and regret.
Nihuang's expression was stagnant, and then she concealed her emotions and smiled: "Brother, why do you say this? Nine out of ten things in the world are not perfect. Although we can't stay together forever, but for Nihuang, every bit of affection is unforgettable. The past is enough to comfort the rest of my life. Or..."
"What?" Mei Changsu turned around slowly, staring at her.
Nihuang lowered her eyes, and slightly raised her pale lips, "Or, one day, Nihuang will be able to meet someone who is destined again, and it is unknown to make up for the years of disappointment."
Mei Changsu's hand froze for a moment, and slowly lowered it. He said nothing, but Nihuang said again: "So, brother, don't worry about me, let alone feel sorry for me. Nihuang will live a good life and take good care of herself .”
Mei Changsu turned around again, with his back to her, and a mist appeared in his eyes.
"That's good. I'm relieved if you can say that." After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then he whispered again: "It's hard for you."
It was hard for her to think of these words to comfort him when she was so sad.
☆、Chapter 20
?Whispering up to this point, Nihuang felt the pain in her heart was unbearable, and she didn't want to reveal her emotions, so she suppressed her sadness and smiled, "Let's hurry up, don't make His Royal Highness wait in a hurry."
"En." Mei Changsu responded lightly.The atmosphere froze for a few seconds before hearing Nihuang say again: "It's just that Nihuang's hands are stupid, please make it easy, brother, don't laugh at me."
"Well..." Mei Changsu's tone became lighter, "You should say hello to Jing Yan and Lin Chen first, and please don't make fun of me."
"...Brother has decided that the bun that Nihuang combed is not suitable for seeing people?" Nihuang teased deliberately, Mei Changsu smiled, didn't say anything else, just urged her to hurry up.
Because the Southern Marshal, who is not good at serving people, took on the responsibility of the maid herself, Mei Changsu spent more than half an hour washing and changing clothes.
But fortunately, Xiao Jingyan and Lin Chen didn't tease Nihuang's debut show, they just looked at each other with weird eyes, and then laughed it off.
After breakfast and the dishes were removed, Xiao Jingyan said: "Xiao Shu, you came back at the right time. My secret agent found out that Xiao Dong had doubts about my serious injury in the past two days. I originally planned to wait for him to make any changes. Just come to a pre-emptive strike and take him down. Now that you are back, I just listen to your opinion. Do you think this is feasible?"
Since Xiao Jingyan received Mei Changsu's Flying Pigeon letter, he was indeed assassinated one after another. Because there were a large number of experts protecting him both openly and secretly, he handled the first two times with ease.
But after doing this again and again, he was afraid that Xiao Dong would not succeed in assassinating him, so he was forced to put all his eggs in one basket, and it would be even more troublesome at that time.So he simply used his tricks, exposed his flaws in an assassination operation, and pretended to be stabbed.Then he let people release the news that he was seriously injured and his life was dying.
In this way, Xiao Dong felt safe and stable for a few days when he saw the hopeful "inexplicable" death of his prince.This strategy was thought up by Xiao Jingyan himself, without anyone's advice, so Mei Changsu praised him without hesitation.
"Your way of pretending to be sick is not bad. It seems that Lin Chen is right. I was too worried. You just said that you are going to strike first. So the Jicheng army is already in place?"
"Yes." Xiao Jingyan said calmly, "I knew he had the intention of treason, so I quietly sent someone to contact the garrison of Jicheng, which is the nearest to Jinling, and ordered him to make preparations early. Dong is in a bad mood. I have already ordered the Jicheng army to come over. Although the strength of this Jicheng army is less than one-third of Xiao Dong's, when the two armies confront each other, there is no problem in resisting for a while. .Next, the war in the northern border is over, and Meng Zhi should come back. Xiao Dong is no longer worried."
Xiao Jingyan raised his eagle eyebrows, his expression was proud and calm, and his decision to kill fell into his eyes.
Seeing him like this, Mei Changsu felt very relieved, and said with a smile, "The crown prince is wise and wise enough to take on a great responsibility, so I am also relieved. But how to implement this pre-emptive plan needs to be carefully considered. Nowadays, the surroundings are in turmoil, and the whole country is in danger. People are terrified, and if there is any trouble in Jinling at this time, it will definitely shake the government and the country, and it will be detrimental to the country and the people. Therefore, we have to find a way to deal with this matter without bloodshed."
"What you said is exactly what I thought. To be honest, when I received your letter from Feige that day, I wanted to capture him before he took any action, but I didn't have conclusive evidence. After all, he is a prince. If he catches it rashly, it will definitely alarm the government and the public, which will be unfavorable to the current situation. That's why we haven't taken action for a long time."
Xiao Jingyan frowned lightly, and his haughty face couldn't help but condense a little heavy.
Mei Changsu gave a faint 'hmm', his eyes fixed on the teacup in front of him, and continued: "Your concerns are right. It was really not suitable to do it at that time. So I will send you a letter to tell you to wait." I'm back. Now I have obtained the letters between Xiao Zhuo and him, and Xiao Zhuo is also under our control, and we have all the witnesses and material evidence, so we can attack him."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jingyan, "Tomorrow, you give him an oral order to come to the East Palace at noon tomorrow."
"Direct call? Will he come?" Xiao Jingyan was startled.
Mei Changsu smiled, "Yes. He wants to know what's going on with you now, so why don't you come? It's just that he will probably make some preparations and won't come rashly."
"Then if he had arranged the tens of thousands of troops first, wouldn't he still start a war?"
Xiao Jingyan asked bluntly, staring at Mei Changsu with burning eyes.
Mei Changsu chuckled, "It's not necessary to provoke a war. Since we know he will make arrangements, how can we give him the opportunity to provoke a war?"
☆、Chapter 21
?After the conversation in the East Palace, at the end of the second day, Prince Yi's Mansion received a verbal order from the crown prince.
"Prince Yi, Xiao Dong, will meet you at the East Palace at noon today, and discuss important matters."
The head of the Eastern Palace, Shi, finished delivering the oral order solemnly, and then bowed to the astonished Xiao Dong, "It's almost noon, and there is still a distance between the palace and the Eastern Palace, the prince should leave immediately, so as not to miss the prince's order. "
Xiao Dong calmed down, pulled his lips reluctantly, and said with a smile: "The prince summoned me, and I naturally dare not delay. I just heard that the prince has been ill recently and has not been in court for a few days. I don't know why I suddenly summoned him today? Could it be that His Royal Highness is already in peace?"
Chang Shi smiled slightly, "Your Highness was joking. His Royal Highness was attacked a few days ago and was seriously injured. How could he be safe in just a few days? However, a doctor with excellent medical skills came to the mansion recently. After careful treatment, His Highness's Things have gotten a little better."
Speaking of this, the smile on Chang Shi's face disappeared suddenly, and changed to a worried expression, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "My lord, this is also a helpless move, His Royal Highness. The doctor told the prince after he woke up, Your Highness His injury is critical, and he has no way to recover. Please make plans early while he is still awake. To be disrespectful, His Highness summoned the prince at this time to discuss the affairs of the future..."
Chang Shi's voice was mournful, and he sighed with tears and stopped talking.
Hearing this, Xiao Dong was shocked beyond words. After he calmed down, he was pleasantly surprised, "Since that's the case, my lord, please wait a little while, and I will come when I change my clothes."
"Waiting for the prince."
Chang Shi responded, Xiao Dong turned around and walked quickly to the inner room.
Of course, the first thing he did after entering the inner room was not to change clothes, but to call for his bodyguards.
He briefly told the guards what Cai Changshi had just said, and at the same time took the token to teach him, "Rush to the barracks outside the city immediately. Tell Lieutenant General Liao and order him to get ready. If there is no news within an hour after I enter the East Palace It is said that the handsome soldiers will enter the city without any delay."
The guard took the token, but he was still worried, "Is the prince really going? What if this is just the prince's trick to lure the enemy?"
"It is precisely because of this that this king asked you to make second-hand preparations. As for my own safety, you don't care about it. Although the East Palace is strong, this king is not a vegetarian. Moreover, there are wars in all four realms, and only this king is in Jinling City. The king has 4 horses in his hand. I don't believe he dares to risk the bloodbath of Jinling City to embarrass the king."
As far as Xiao Dongyan was concerned, an unconcealable look of complacency appeared on his face.
The guards led away, and Xiao Dong then called the maid to change his clothes.
Just after noon, Prince Yi Xiao Dong stepped into the gate of the East Palace.
"Please, my lord, His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the front hall." Chang Shi bowed and raised his hand, respectfully.
Xiao Dong was startled, "The front hall? Has His Highness the Crown Prince been able to get up?"
"Your Highness is a precious person, how could His Highness summon you from the couch? In desperation, I had to be helped up, and waited for you in the front hall on the soft couch."
Chang Shi explained that Xiao Dong was deeply satisfied when he heard it, and unconsciously his waist became a little straighter.
Chang Shi led the way, Xiao Dong followed, until he reached the entrance of the main hall, Chang Shi stopped and bowed: "My lord, please."
Xiao Dong nodded slightly, and stepped in without thinking too much.
He thought he would see a soft couch, a few maids, and a pale, sluggish, dying prince.
Unexpectedly, after entering the door, the eyes are empty.There is no soft couch, and no prince.
In doubt, he opened his eyes and looked around, but saw the curtain on the right moving slightly, and someone came out slowly from behind the curtain.
"You..." Shocked, Xiao Dong didn't even care about the honorific title of Prince.
Before he could catch his breath, the person who appeared behind Xiao Jingyan strangled him by the throat.
This is the person who can change the situation of the court by himself, and turn the clouds and rains with a furnace and singing snow.
Mei Changsu, who was supposed to be in charge of the battle in the northern border, was smiling and standing elegantly beside the prince.And the prince who was supposed to be lingering on the sick bed and precarious stood tall and majestic, like a god.
In an instant, Xiao Dong already understood what happened.But he wasn't too worried. After all, there were [-] cavalry outside the city waiting to help him.
"It seems that His Royal Highness is here to trap the king today." The matter has come to this point, there is no need to talk nonsense, so Xiao Dong even saved the false politeness.
Xiao Jingyan smiled frankly, and did not deny it, "My lord is smart, and I really mean that. Therefore, if my lord can be arrested without a fight and save me some trouble, I will be very grateful."
"Arrest with nothing?" Xiao Dong smiled contemptuously, and spoke loudly, as if he didn't pay attention to the Eastern Palace Prince in front of him at all, "Did Your Highness forget the rules of the battle on the battlefield after becoming the Eastern Palace Prince? How can there be any reason to surrender without a fight?"
"Fight?" Mei Changsu asked, "I don't know what the prince plans to use to fight the crown prince?"
Jiyue Qingfeng smiled, but it could give people a sense of oppression like a thunderstorm.
Xiao Dong's dark eyes closed suddenly, "I have [-] troops stationed outside the city. These people are only obeying my king's order, so why can't they fight against thousands of people in the forbidden military area?"
"The prince was killed when he came out of the mansion. Princess Nihuang took the crown prince's letter and rushed out of the city. The crown prince ordered: Xiao Dong has rebelled and has been captured. You have been deceived. If you get lost today, you will return." Don’t blame the past. If you throw away obsessions and don’t realize it, you don’t care if you kill it, and you will implicate the whole family.”
"What?" Xiao Dong screamed, with a ferocious expression on his face.
Xiao Jingyan sneered, Mei Changsu slowly walked two steps towards Xiao Dong, his eyes lightly swept across his face, "Don't you ask Su why he is standing here?"
Xiao Dong stared at him, gritted his teeth and remained silent.Mei Changsu sighed softly, "Okay, since the prince doesn't want to ask, I can only explain myself."
After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, and he smiled slightly, "The prince should have received the letter from the flying pigeon of the King of Ling, right? The king of the county told the prince that there will be fierce battles in the northern border. To force the palace, Meng Zhi and Mei Changsu will not be able to rush back to the capital at that time, and everything in Jinling will be in the hands of the prince. Is Su right?"
Xiao Dong's eyes were filled with astonishment, and he squeezed out a sentence between his teeth after a while: "You forged this letter?"
"Exactly." Mei Changsu answered calmly.After a short pause, he added, "You might as well tell the lord that Xiao Zhuo was captured a few days ago, and the current Yinzhou City is already under the prince's control."
"Mei Changsu..." Xiao Dong clenched his teeth tightly, his old face as red as blood.
Mei Changsu turned his eyes away, stopped looking at him, and said leisurely: "There is one more thing, the lord must have got the news that Yu Yuyin's rebel army has reached the end of its strength, and it will probably not be long before they will be killed by the emperor's subordinates." In this way, it seems that the ally of the prince is not much better than the prince. Raccoons of the same feather will naturally end up the same."
"Yuyin..." Xiao Zhuo repeated, and his red face was suddenly covered with dead gray.
"Yes. Lie Wang Yuyin. You can be regarded as a generation of heroes. You conspired with him to murder the fifth prince of Dayu and provoked this war. Both of you want to use this war to achieve your wishes. It's a pity that you still have to fight against your will after all. Looking for the end."
"Self-seeking doom?" Xiao Dong stared suddenly, his eyes piercing through the unicorn genius like a bloody sword, "Didn't Mr. Su find this king's doom? Mr. Su is very cunning, and this king is only one step away from success. It's just so abruptly broken by you on the road to the position of supremacy. Mei Changsu, you..."
Before he finished speaking, he shot out suddenly, and an iron palm hit Mei Changsu's chest directly.
"Xiao Shu..." Xiao Jingyan turned pale with shock, at the same time, he saw a light blue phantom swiftly passing by, splitting Xiao Dong with his palm.
Xiao Dong fell to the ground with a bang, and Fei Liu floated on Mei Changsu's side.
"Come here, take King Yi down." Xiao Jingyan said majesticly, and several golden armored warriors rushed in from outside the door, and without any effort, they grabbed and dragged Xiao Dong who had been injured by Fei Liu's palm.
The important matter was over, and Mei Changsu sat down slowly with the help of the case. The three-month period was approaching, and his physical strength was obviously not as good as when he first took the Bingxuan Pill.
Seeing his tired face, Xiao Jingyan frowned again, "Xiao Shu, now that the war in the northern border is over, and the crisis in Beijing and China has been resolved, leave the rest of the matter to me, and you can rest at ease, what?" Don't worry about it."
"Naturally." Mei Changsu smiled lightly, and said what he had already thought about, "This is what I was about to tell you. I plan to go back to Langya Mountain with Lin Chen in a few days."
"You want to go?" Xiao Jingyan's complexion changed suddenly, and he quickly stepped in front of him, his eyes fixed on his face.
Mei Changsu knew that he was hard to let go, and felt a little sad, but he had to put on a smile on his face, "You also know that Lin Chen is good at medicine. Langya Mountain is also a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, which is the most suitable for health care. These In [-], I was really tired from working day and night. Although the current situation is not very good, but your ability is enough to make me feel at ease. So, I should also put my love on the mountains and rivers, and have a few years of leisurely enjoyment, right?"
"This..." Xiao Jingyan was extremely reluctant to leave his best friend.But when he thought of the beautiful mountains and waters that Mei Changsu said were good for health, he felt that he really had no reason to stop him.
After a moment of silence, the Prince Donggong sighed, "In that case, it's up to you. But you have to remember, when you are healthy, remember to come back and see me."
He didn't know about the March deadline, Mei Changsu
?Nihuang recommended himself, and Meng Zhi quickly divided his army into two, handing over [-] troops to be led by Nihuang. The two of them marched straight in when Yuyin was fighting with the imperial army of Dayu, and went straight to Dayu. Yu barracks.
Dayu's side has long been demoralized by rumors of Yuyin's rebellion.The lieutenant who was left by Yuyin to guard the border knew Yuyin's true purpose, and swore allegiance to him to the death.It's just that with these tens of thousands of generals, people's hearts are unpredictable, and it's not that he can stabilize the overall situation by blindly controlling them.So in just two days, the unstable Chongqing army retreated dozens of miles and lost a city.
On the evening of the third day, the north wind was raging and hunting.Mei Changsu and Lin Chen each rode a fine horse, with their cloaks flying in the wind, standing majestically on the top of the mountain.
This is a valley where the Yu army retreated after losing a city.
"In the past three days, the Dayu side has lost nearly half of its troops. This battle is another ambush to destroy them. I think the following two cities will soon be in your pocket."
Lin Chen smiled against the wind, and his loud voice made people neigh in shock, and the rock-shattering valley trembled.
Mei Changsu raised the reins, and said solemnly: "So, I should prepare to return to Jinling. After the three cities are captured, Brother Meng can just leave and deal with the rest."
"That's right, the battle in Jianzhou was so close that neither Yuyin nor the Emperor Dayu had time to come to help here. In this way, the battle of Jianzhou and the loss of three cities here in a row, no matter whether they are Whoever wins in the end, it will be difficult to restore the rest of their lives just to rebuild the national power. The prince will be relaxed in the future."
On the top of the mountain, the two chatted casually.At the foot of the mountain, there are thousands of cavalry, with sharp swords and halberds flying, and the sound of gold and iron colliding pierces the sky, and there is only a bloody breath left in the world, which makes the wind and thunder change color.
"Let's go, don't look at it. According to what you said, go back and pack up and get ready to go." Lin Chen turned around with the rein in hand, but Mei Changsu didn't respond, and just fixed his eyes on a certain place down the mountain.
Looking from a distance, the jade face is hazy, but the white feather and silver helmet is still shining brightly under the gray sky.Nihuang, with her silver armor like snow, stands proudly on the horse, watching the slaughter in front of her.
At this point in the war, there is no need for her, the coach, to personally fight the enemy.And she, as long as she holds the rein and lifts the gun here, she will be powerful and powerful.
"Lin Chen, you should go back first. I want to see her return in triumph."
It's her, not them.The gold and iron horse, the light of the knife is like training, and the blood is like the tide. At this moment, in his eyes, they are not as heroic and breathtaking as that man.
Mei Changsu's gaze was focused on the female marshal of the southern border, Lin Chen raised the rein again and turned back, looking down the mountain from afar.
"Her?... Changsu, are you finally enlightened?"
Lin Chen looked at his best friend with a smile, and Mei Changsu sighed against the wind: "My heart is always clear. But it's God's will."
"What are you talking about God's will?" Lin Chen sneered, "Isn't there another saying that people can conquer heaven?"
Mei Changsu looked sideways at him, with a faint smile on his lips: "You are still comforting me now, the three-month period has passed more than half. Even if we are inseparable today, it is just adding a few strokes to her sad memories. What's the benefit?"
"What does it mean to be beneficial to her? Changsu, do you know what your biggest problem is? You like to judge others by yourself! It's her meaning, she knows it herself. As for the future, aren't you still dead? As the saying goes, God's will is unpredictable, how do you know there are no miracles?"
Lin Chen glanced at him and turned his horse over, "I'm leaving, I won't hinder you."
The fighting stopped at Haishi, and when the valley was quiet again, Mei Changsu picked up the reins and headed back down the mountain along the winding path.
Nihuang returned victorious, returning to the barracks earlier than Mei Changsu.However, when she returned home and didn't see the person she wanted to see, her heart couldn't help but lift up again.
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean that brother doesn't want to come back? It's dark now, and the mountain road is rough and dangerous. How can you let him be there alone?"
Nihuang's face was full of anger and displeasure, Lin Chen raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and said disapprovingly: "I persuaded him, but he refused to come back with me, he insisted on staying there to watch you return in triumph. I can't Drag him back. It’s hard for me to show my true feelings, and I’m quite moved when I see it.”
"Look at me?" The female general who commanded [-] troops and remained unchanged in the rain of spears and swords froze, her cheeks were becoming red and her eyes were soft and tender.
After being dazed for a moment, she regained her solemn look, turned around and went straight away without saying a word.
"Where is the princess going?" Meng Zhi called out, and Lin Chen gave him a disdainful look, "Where else can I go? Of course I went to find someone."
As soon as the words fell, the tent door was gently pushed open, and Mei Changsu entered from the outside, meeting Nihuang who had already reached the door.
"Brother." Nihuang couldn't hide the worry on her face, Mei Changsu knew what she meant, and hurriedly said: "I'm fine, the mountain road is difficult to walk at night, and I'm late, so you are worried."
At this time Nihuang already had thousands of words lingering in her heart, but there were other people in the tent, so she could only hold back and didn't say much.Seeing that Mei Changsu's face turned pale, she comforted her, "It's good to be back safely. The frontline battle is over. The enemy has lost nearly [-] troops in this battle. The two cities behind are already in our pocket, brother can feel at ease." gone."
Before she finished speaking, her hand naturally supported Mei Changsu's arm.In full view, Mei Changsu didn't show any unnaturalness, instead he raised his hand to cover hers.
"With you by my side, I feel at ease."
The coolness in her palm made Nihuang feel a little sad, she didn't say anything more, but helped Mei Changsu to sit in front of the desk.After personally taking the stove and handing it over to him, he asked, "When does elder brother plan to return to Jinling?"
"The day after tomorrow." Mei Changsu said, then looked at Meng Zhi, "Tomorrow, Brother Meng will lead Chen Sheng to pursue and take down the remaining two cities."
"That's no problem. As for today's battle, the soldiers still can't get enough of it. I wish I could chase them out overnight." After three consecutive days of fighting, countless enemies were wiped out. Meng Zhi was at a time when he was full of ambition and full of confidence.
Mei Changsu smiled faintly, "That's good." After finishing speaking, he looked at Nihuang, "Tomorrow, I will have to trouble you."
"Brother, you can just order. Why do you and I have to be so alien?" Nihuang replied with a gentle expression.
Mei Changsu nodded, and continued: "Before, in order not to startle the snake, I have never taken any action against Xiao Zhuo of Yinzhou City. Now, I can take action. Tomorrow, please lead 1 people to take Yinzhou City as quickly as possible. Strictly control and not allow any news to leak out. In addition, Xiao Zhuo will be imprisoned in the mansion and handed over to Jing Yan for decision in the future."
"It's a trivial matter. Brother, you can rest assured." Nihuang raised her eyebrows and smiled, her proud demeanor was convincing.
☆、Chapter 18
?The next day, Meng Zhi's relatives led troops to attack the city where the Yu army was retreating, and the other side, led by Nihuang, suddenly pointed their swords at Yinzhou City.The results of these two actions were within Mei Changsu's expectations, so he wasn't worried at all.What he was worried about was still Xiao Jingyan who was far away in Jinling, so at noon that day, the young pavilion master who knew everything about the world brought him good news.
"Here, here you are, the prince's reply letter. I just said that the prince is not made of mud. Although he was a little blunt and thoughtful before. But under your guidance in the past two years, I think it has also benefited a lot. You better take your time off."
Lin Chen teased eccentrically, but his eyebrows that had been frowned for a few days finally relaxed a little.
Mei Changsu immediately took the letterhead from him, his eyes quickly scanned the familiar handwriting, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Jing Yan's trick is ingenious. He really has improved a lot. I underestimated him." gone."
After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Chen in an instant, "Don't worry about it, he is the prince after all, you should respect him at least. After all, I am both a friend and a subject, and the gift of a monarch and a minister cannot be discarded." .”
"You people are troublesome." Lin Chen snorted, sat down with his sleeves folded, and smiled again: "However, I am very happy to think that I will leave this cold and barren land tomorrow. And you, get ready Yet?"
Mei Changsu froze for a moment, "What can I prepare for?"
"Princess, we have just met and we are going to be separated again, are you ready here?" The young pavilion master poked his chest as a gesture.
Mei Changsu frowned slightly, and only asked, "Why do we have to separate?"
"No separation." Fei Liu, who was fiddling with a delicate dagger at the side, said crisply.
Lin Chen cast a sideways glance at Fei Liu, turned his gaze back to Mei Changsu, and said dryly, "Could it be that you can agree that she will go back to Jinling with you?"
"why not?"
"Changsu..." Lin Chen seemed to be in high spirits, and leaned towards Mei Changsu, his eyes glistening with teasing, "Hey, have you forgotten who she is? Female general. Now that the war in the southern border has not completely subsided, there are many matters waiting for her to make decisions in Yunnan city. Is it appropriate for you to lead others to travel with you all the way?"
"There's nothing inappropriate." Mei Changsu's blandness stunned the Young Pavilion Master for a moment.
Mei Changsu stared at someone's dumbfounded face for a while, then pursed his lips slightly, and casually took out a letter from the scroll on the case, "I just received it this morning. Everything in the southern region is stable, and Mu Qing not only The sporadic wars on the front line have been completely quelled, and all affairs, large and small, have been taken care of in an orderly manner. Now that Yunnan is in peace and stability, there is really no need for Nihuang to rush back to take charge of the overall situation."
"Ah You……"
The Young Pavilion Master jumped up suddenly, poked Sect Master Mei's head with his hand and shouted, "Mei Changsu, you are too much. Even though your intelligence network is not inferior to mine, you still find trouble for me every day and order me around. You are here!" Is that how you treat your savior? It’s you who are ungrateful and ungrateful.”
Mei Changsu shook his head lightly, quite helplessly, "I really didn't investigate this on purpose. It was the people who were arranged in Yunnan before knowing that Nihuang had left the country, so I was worried about the situation there, so they reported it themselves."
"Oh..." Lin Chen dragged on a long tone with unknown meaning, and then pulled out a smirk, "So you have been secretly caring about the Princess."
"Did you just find out today?" Mei Changsu gave him a cool look.
Lin Chen curled his lips, "Of course I didn't just find out today. I was just worried that someone wouldn't know. It was a waste of your ten years of painstaking efforts. If you don't do it well, people will only think you are cold-hearted and cold-hearted. I haven't looked for her for more than ten years."
"She won't." Mei Changsu sighed softly, "I know what I mean, and I feel sorry for you. I need to ask the heavens about this feeling. There is really no need to elaborate."
"...Changsu, you are not enlightened, you are simply enlightened." The young pavilion master looked terrified, but Mei Changsu didn't bother to pay any attention to him.
In the evening, Nihuang and Meng Zhi came back one after another.The situation they reported was exactly as Mei Changsu expected, and the matter of the northern border was successfully completed.
Since they didn't care about the rest of the matter, after instructing Meng Zhi about matters, Mei Changsu, Lin Chen and others left the camp the next day and rushed towards Jinling.
After a few days of driving without rest, Mei Changsu and the others finally avoided all the eyeliners of King Yi Xiaodong and entered the East Palace in the middle of the night.
When Xiao Jingyan saw Mei Changsu, thousands of emotions surged in his heart. Seeing his tired expression and stature, he felt a burst of sadness.
"Xiao Shu, how are you? Are you okay?"
For Prince Liang, at this moment, everything can be discussed later, only the body of his best friend worries him endlessly.
Mei Changsu was already extremely tired at this time, but in order to appease Xiao Jingyan, he forced a smile, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Xiao Jingyan felt a little relieved, glanced at the few people behind him, and said: "You will be released today, let's not talk about anything else, first have a good night's rest, and discuss things tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, fearing that Mei Changsu would be worried, he added: "Everything is fine on my side, Xiao Dong's movements are under my control, so you don't need to worry."
Seeing that Xiao Jingyan was safe and sound, Mei Changsu felt at ease.In addition, at this time, I felt that my body was really unable to support me, so I didn't force myself anymore, and after a few words with him, I resigned from him.
The courtyard of the guest's residence has already been tidied up, and the stove and quilt are also intact.But when he stepped into the yard, Mei Changsu felt dizzy and his legs felt weak.When he was staggering, the lucky Nihuang grabbed him by the arm.
"Brother." Nihuang's voice was anxious, and Fei Liu hurried over, hugged Mei Changsu's arm and kept calling, "Brother Su."
"It's okay." Mei Changsu replied, his voice was already floating like a gossamer.
Lin Chen changed his usual unruly expression, his handsome face darkened, and he frowned and said, "He's too tired, please help him in."
Nihuang and Feiliu didn't delay anymore, they hurriedly helped Mei Changsu into the house.At this time, Xiao Jingyan ordered someone to bring hot water and hot rice. Mei Changsu had no appetite to eat any more, but Lin Chen sternly forced him to eat before letting him go to sleep.
Nihuang was only worried about Mei Changsu's health, and had no intention of eating. After watching Mei Changsu close his eyes and fall asleep, he pulled Lin Chen out.
"Mr. Lin, tell me, are you really helpless? Brother...does he really only have one month to live?"
At this point, the emotions that have been borne for a long time can no longer be restrained, it is the pink tears, the tenderness of the heart.
Lin Chen breathed heavily, looked at the dark night sky from a distance, and said for a long time, "I don't know. I can only say that I tried my best. As for the result, it all depends on God's will."
Helplessly sighed, like a unparalleled sharp cold blade, instantly cut the last string in Nihuang's heart.She didn't say anything, just turned around and stared at the people in the room.
"Princess." Lin Chen said, "I know that the princess is sad, but there is something I would like to advise."
"Mr. Lin, please tell me."
Nihuang said, her voice seemed to be soaked in tears.
"Changsu himself has seen through life and death, and he doesn't have much sentimentality about it. The only people he can't let go of are us. He is very afraid that we will feel sorry for him. Especially the princess, childhood sweetheart, 13 years of love, and Changsu said that the princess is different from us after all. I know that the princess is a heroine, not like those weak girls in the boudoir, so Lin Chen begged the princess to hide the sadness in his heart, don't show too much, and add more for nothing his burden."
After Lin Chen finished speaking, Nihuang remained silent for a long time, only a pair of tearful eyes remained, expressing the sadness in her heart.
☆、Chapter 19
?The night was as cold as water, and Lin Chen left after finishing what he had to say.Nihuang never left, but the location changed from outside the door to inside the door.
Mei Changsu slept very deeply that night, or rather he did not sleep peacefully, but lethargic.Also because of this, he didn't know that Nihuang sat beside his bed all night.
It's not that she's not tired, it's just that she cherishes the time that passes by.
The sky was clear, and the East Palace, which had been silent all night, gradually became noisy.Xiao Jingyan had already set up breakfast in the side hall and waited for Mei Changsu to come over.But until the food on the table was cold, he still hadn't seen Mei Changsu.At first he thought that Mei Changsu was tired and had slept too long, and after waiting, he felt something was wrong, so he came over to check it out himself.
Mei Changsu just woke up when Xiao Jingyan entered the door, struggled to get up, and saw Nihuang first.
The dark blue in Nihuang's eyes revealed her secret, and it also made Mei Changsu's heart tremble like a string.
"Xiao Shu, you haven't woken up for a long time, which makes me very worried. How is it? Are you in good health?" Xiao Jingyan didn't notice the strange emotions of the two people in the room at all, he only thought that Nihuang was seeing Mei Chang Su Chi just like him It was too late to wake up.
Mei Changsu sat up, Nihuang regained her concentration and gave him a hand, then pulled the cloak over and put it on him.Nihuang did this move naturally, and Mei Changsu took it calmly, neither of them meant to be embarrassed.
Xiao Jingyan saw that the two of them showed tenderness and warmth in every move, and felt very comforted in his heart. Then he felt that he was a little redundant, so he smiled and said: "It's good that you are fine. You wash up first, and I will wait for you to eat. Nihuang also stand up."
After speaking, he turned and left.The room was quiet, and Mei Changsu lightly held the hand of the woman beside him, and said softly, "Nihuang, you don't have to do this. I'm just too tired, and my body is fine."
"Brother, how do you know that it's not because I can't sleep that I didn't sleep all night?" Nihuang smiled sideways, and his pale complexion was stained with a crimson brilliance because of this smile.
She kept Lin Chen's words in mind, so she didn't continue the question, but let go, and turned around to fetch Mei Changsu's clothes.
"Let me help my brother change and freshen up?"
Mei Changsu was slightly taken aback, and after a while, he curled his lips slightly, "Okay."
Dressed in a light fur in a plain shirt, with a jade comb running through the ink-dyed hair, he could feel the bluntness of her technique.After all, she has been guarding Yunnan and protecting the common people all these years, and her pride is stronger than that of a man.Pingting Cardamom's bright and tender girlhood is already like a dream with her.
And these, in fact, were not what she should bear.If there was no fire in Meiling, she should have married him as a wife early, loving each other, adding fragrance to each other, and enjoying the long time quietly...
Thinking of this, Wei Liang raised her hand uncontrollably, and instead held the hand holding the jade comb.
"Nihuang, I'm sorry for you." The voice was deep, full of guilt and regret.
Nihuang's expression was stagnant, and then she concealed her emotions and smiled: "Brother, why do you say this? Nine out of ten things in the world are not perfect. Although we can't stay together forever, but for Nihuang, every bit of affection is unforgettable. The past is enough to comfort the rest of my life. Or..."
"What?" Mei Changsu turned around slowly, staring at her.
Nihuang lowered her eyes, and slightly raised her pale lips, "Or, one day, Nihuang will be able to meet someone who is destined again, and it is unknown to make up for the years of disappointment."
Mei Changsu's hand froze for a moment, and slowly lowered it. He said nothing, but Nihuang said again: "So, brother, don't worry about me, let alone feel sorry for me. Nihuang will live a good life and take good care of herself .”
Mei Changsu turned around again, with his back to her, and a mist appeared in his eyes.
"That's good. I'm relieved if you can say that." After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then he whispered again: "It's hard for you."
It was hard for her to think of these words to comfort him when she was so sad.
☆、Chapter 20
?Whispering up to this point, Nihuang felt the pain in her heart was unbearable, and she didn't want to reveal her emotions, so she suppressed her sadness and smiled, "Let's hurry up, don't make His Royal Highness wait in a hurry."
"En." Mei Changsu responded lightly.The atmosphere froze for a few seconds before hearing Nihuang say again: "It's just that Nihuang's hands are stupid, please make it easy, brother, don't laugh at me."
"Well..." Mei Changsu's tone became lighter, "You should say hello to Jing Yan and Lin Chen first, and please don't make fun of me."
"...Brother has decided that the bun that Nihuang combed is not suitable for seeing people?" Nihuang teased deliberately, Mei Changsu smiled, didn't say anything else, just urged her to hurry up.
Because the Southern Marshal, who is not good at serving people, took on the responsibility of the maid herself, Mei Changsu spent more than half an hour washing and changing clothes.
But fortunately, Xiao Jingyan and Lin Chen didn't tease Nihuang's debut show, they just looked at each other with weird eyes, and then laughed it off.
After breakfast and the dishes were removed, Xiao Jingyan said: "Xiao Shu, you came back at the right time. My secret agent found out that Xiao Dong had doubts about my serious injury in the past two days. I originally planned to wait for him to make any changes. Just come to a pre-emptive strike and take him down. Now that you are back, I just listen to your opinion. Do you think this is feasible?"
Since Xiao Jingyan received Mei Changsu's Flying Pigeon letter, he was indeed assassinated one after another. Because there were a large number of experts protecting him both openly and secretly, he handled the first two times with ease.
But after doing this again and again, he was afraid that Xiao Dong would not succeed in assassinating him, so he was forced to put all his eggs in one basket, and it would be even more troublesome at that time.So he simply used his tricks, exposed his flaws in an assassination operation, and pretended to be stabbed.Then he let people release the news that he was seriously injured and his life was dying.
In this way, Xiao Dong felt safe and stable for a few days when he saw the hopeful "inexplicable" death of his prince.This strategy was thought up by Xiao Jingyan himself, without anyone's advice, so Mei Changsu praised him without hesitation.
"Your way of pretending to be sick is not bad. It seems that Lin Chen is right. I was too worried. You just said that you are going to strike first. So the Jicheng army is already in place?"
"Yes." Xiao Jingyan said calmly, "I knew he had the intention of treason, so I quietly sent someone to contact the garrison of Jicheng, which is the nearest to Jinling, and ordered him to make preparations early. Dong is in a bad mood. I have already ordered the Jicheng army to come over. Although the strength of this Jicheng army is less than one-third of Xiao Dong's, when the two armies confront each other, there is no problem in resisting for a while. .Next, the war in the northern border is over, and Meng Zhi should come back. Xiao Dong is no longer worried."
Xiao Jingyan raised his eagle eyebrows, his expression was proud and calm, and his decision to kill fell into his eyes.
Seeing him like this, Mei Changsu felt very relieved, and said with a smile, "The crown prince is wise and wise enough to take on a great responsibility, so I am also relieved. But how to implement this pre-emptive plan needs to be carefully considered. Nowadays, the surroundings are in turmoil, and the whole country is in danger. People are terrified, and if there is any trouble in Jinling at this time, it will definitely shake the government and the country, and it will be detrimental to the country and the people. Therefore, we have to find a way to deal with this matter without bloodshed."
"What you said is exactly what I thought. To be honest, when I received your letter from Feige that day, I wanted to capture him before he took any action, but I didn't have conclusive evidence. After all, he is a prince. If he catches it rashly, it will definitely alarm the government and the public, which will be unfavorable to the current situation. That's why we haven't taken action for a long time."
Xiao Jingyan frowned lightly, and his haughty face couldn't help but condense a little heavy.
Mei Changsu gave a faint 'hmm', his eyes fixed on the teacup in front of him, and continued: "Your concerns are right. It was really not suitable to do it at that time. So I will send you a letter to tell you to wait." I'm back. Now I have obtained the letters between Xiao Zhuo and him, and Xiao Zhuo is also under our control, and we have all the witnesses and material evidence, so we can attack him."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a while, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jingyan, "Tomorrow, you give him an oral order to come to the East Palace at noon tomorrow."
"Direct call? Will he come?" Xiao Jingyan was startled.
Mei Changsu smiled, "Yes. He wants to know what's going on with you now, so why don't you come? It's just that he will probably make some preparations and won't come rashly."
"Then if he had arranged the tens of thousands of troops first, wouldn't he still start a war?"
Xiao Jingyan asked bluntly, staring at Mei Changsu with burning eyes.
Mei Changsu chuckled, "It's not necessary to provoke a war. Since we know he will make arrangements, how can we give him the opportunity to provoke a war?"
☆、Chapter 21
?After the conversation in the East Palace, at the end of the second day, Prince Yi's Mansion received a verbal order from the crown prince.
"Prince Yi, Xiao Dong, will meet you at the East Palace at noon today, and discuss important matters."
The head of the Eastern Palace, Shi, finished delivering the oral order solemnly, and then bowed to the astonished Xiao Dong, "It's almost noon, and there is still a distance between the palace and the Eastern Palace, the prince should leave immediately, so as not to miss the prince's order. "
Xiao Dong calmed down, pulled his lips reluctantly, and said with a smile: "The prince summoned me, and I naturally dare not delay. I just heard that the prince has been ill recently and has not been in court for a few days. I don't know why I suddenly summoned him today? Could it be that His Royal Highness is already in peace?"
Chang Shi smiled slightly, "Your Highness was joking. His Royal Highness was attacked a few days ago and was seriously injured. How could he be safe in just a few days? However, a doctor with excellent medical skills came to the mansion recently. After careful treatment, His Highness's Things have gotten a little better."
Speaking of this, the smile on Chang Shi's face disappeared suddenly, and changed to a worried expression, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "My lord, this is also a helpless move, His Royal Highness. The doctor told the prince after he woke up, Your Highness His injury is critical, and he has no way to recover. Please make plans early while he is still awake. To be disrespectful, His Highness summoned the prince at this time to discuss the affairs of the future..."
Chang Shi's voice was mournful, and he sighed with tears and stopped talking.
Hearing this, Xiao Dong was shocked beyond words. After he calmed down, he was pleasantly surprised, "Since that's the case, my lord, please wait a little while, and I will come when I change my clothes."
"Waiting for the prince."
Chang Shi responded, Xiao Dong turned around and walked quickly to the inner room.
Of course, the first thing he did after entering the inner room was not to change clothes, but to call for his bodyguards.
He briefly told the guards what Cai Changshi had just said, and at the same time took the token to teach him, "Rush to the barracks outside the city immediately. Tell Lieutenant General Liao and order him to get ready. If there is no news within an hour after I enter the East Palace It is said that the handsome soldiers will enter the city without any delay."
The guard took the token, but he was still worried, "Is the prince really going? What if this is just the prince's trick to lure the enemy?"
"It is precisely because of this that this king asked you to make second-hand preparations. As for my own safety, you don't care about it. Although the East Palace is strong, this king is not a vegetarian. Moreover, there are wars in all four realms, and only this king is in Jinling City. The king has 4 horses in his hand. I don't believe he dares to risk the bloodbath of Jinling City to embarrass the king."
As far as Xiao Dongyan was concerned, an unconcealable look of complacency appeared on his face.
The guards led away, and Xiao Dong then called the maid to change his clothes.
Just after noon, Prince Yi Xiao Dong stepped into the gate of the East Palace.
"Please, my lord, His Royal Highness is waiting for you in the front hall." Chang Shi bowed and raised his hand, respectfully.
Xiao Dong was startled, "The front hall? Has His Highness the Crown Prince been able to get up?"
"Your Highness is a precious person, how could His Highness summon you from the couch? In desperation, I had to be helped up, and waited for you in the front hall on the soft couch."
Chang Shi explained that Xiao Dong was deeply satisfied when he heard it, and unconsciously his waist became a little straighter.
Chang Shi led the way, Xiao Dong followed, until he reached the entrance of the main hall, Chang Shi stopped and bowed: "My lord, please."
Xiao Dong nodded slightly, and stepped in without thinking too much.
He thought he would see a soft couch, a few maids, and a pale, sluggish, dying prince.
Unexpectedly, after entering the door, the eyes are empty.There is no soft couch, and no prince.
In doubt, he opened his eyes and looked around, but saw the curtain on the right moving slightly, and someone came out slowly from behind the curtain.
"You..." Shocked, Xiao Dong didn't even care about the honorific title of Prince.
Before he could catch his breath, the person who appeared behind Xiao Jingyan strangled him by the throat.
This is the person who can change the situation of the court by himself, and turn the clouds and rains with a furnace and singing snow.
Mei Changsu, who was supposed to be in charge of the battle in the northern border, was smiling and standing elegantly beside the prince.And the prince who was supposed to be lingering on the sick bed and precarious stood tall and majestic, like a god.
In an instant, Xiao Dong already understood what happened.But he wasn't too worried. After all, there were [-] cavalry outside the city waiting to help him.
"It seems that His Royal Highness is here to trap the king today." The matter has come to this point, there is no need to talk nonsense, so Xiao Dong even saved the false politeness.
Xiao Jingyan smiled frankly, and did not deny it, "My lord is smart, and I really mean that. Therefore, if my lord can be arrested without a fight and save me some trouble, I will be very grateful."
"Arrest with nothing?" Xiao Dong smiled contemptuously, and spoke loudly, as if he didn't pay attention to the Eastern Palace Prince in front of him at all, "Did Your Highness forget the rules of the battle on the battlefield after becoming the Eastern Palace Prince? How can there be any reason to surrender without a fight?"
"Fight?" Mei Changsu asked, "I don't know what the prince plans to use to fight the crown prince?"
Jiyue Qingfeng smiled, but it could give people a sense of oppression like a thunderstorm.
Xiao Dong's dark eyes closed suddenly, "I have [-] troops stationed outside the city. These people are only obeying my king's order, so why can't they fight against thousands of people in the forbidden military area?"
"The prince was killed when he came out of the mansion. Princess Nihuang took the crown prince's letter and rushed out of the city. The crown prince ordered: Xiao Dong has rebelled and has been captured. You have been deceived. If you get lost today, you will return." Don’t blame the past. If you throw away obsessions and don’t realize it, you don’t care if you kill it, and you will implicate the whole family.”
"What?" Xiao Dong screamed, with a ferocious expression on his face.
Xiao Jingyan sneered, Mei Changsu slowly walked two steps towards Xiao Dong, his eyes lightly swept across his face, "Don't you ask Su why he is standing here?"
Xiao Dong stared at him, gritted his teeth and remained silent.Mei Changsu sighed softly, "Okay, since the prince doesn't want to ask, I can only explain myself."
After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, and he smiled slightly, "The prince should have received the letter from the flying pigeon of the King of Ling, right? The king of the county told the prince that there will be fierce battles in the northern border. To force the palace, Meng Zhi and Mei Changsu will not be able to rush back to the capital at that time, and everything in Jinling will be in the hands of the prince. Is Su right?"
Xiao Dong's eyes were filled with astonishment, and he squeezed out a sentence between his teeth after a while: "You forged this letter?"
"Exactly." Mei Changsu answered calmly.After a short pause, he added, "You might as well tell the lord that Xiao Zhuo was captured a few days ago, and the current Yinzhou City is already under the prince's control."
"Mei Changsu..." Xiao Dong clenched his teeth tightly, his old face as red as blood.
Mei Changsu turned his eyes away, stopped looking at him, and said leisurely: "There is one more thing, the lord must have got the news that Yu Yuyin's rebel army has reached the end of its strength, and it will probably not be long before they will be killed by the emperor's subordinates." In this way, it seems that the ally of the prince is not much better than the prince. Raccoons of the same feather will naturally end up the same."
"Yuyin..." Xiao Zhuo repeated, and his red face was suddenly covered with dead gray.
"Yes. Lie Wang Yuyin. You can be regarded as a generation of heroes. You conspired with him to murder the fifth prince of Dayu and provoked this war. Both of you want to use this war to achieve your wishes. It's a pity that you still have to fight against your will after all. Looking for the end."
"Self-seeking doom?" Xiao Dong stared suddenly, his eyes piercing through the unicorn genius like a bloody sword, "Didn't Mr. Su find this king's doom? Mr. Su is very cunning, and this king is only one step away from success. It's just so abruptly broken by you on the road to the position of supremacy. Mei Changsu, you..."
Before he finished speaking, he shot out suddenly, and an iron palm hit Mei Changsu's chest directly.
"Xiao Shu..." Xiao Jingyan turned pale with shock, at the same time, he saw a light blue phantom swiftly passing by, splitting Xiao Dong with his palm.
Xiao Dong fell to the ground with a bang, and Fei Liu floated on Mei Changsu's side.
"Come here, take King Yi down." Xiao Jingyan said majesticly, and several golden armored warriors rushed in from outside the door, and without any effort, they grabbed and dragged Xiao Dong who had been injured by Fei Liu's palm.
The important matter was over, and Mei Changsu sat down slowly with the help of the case. The three-month period was approaching, and his physical strength was obviously not as good as when he first took the Bingxuan Pill.
Seeing his tired face, Xiao Jingyan frowned again, "Xiao Shu, now that the war in the northern border is over, and the crisis in Beijing and China has been resolved, leave the rest of the matter to me, and you can rest at ease, what?" Don't worry about it."
"Naturally." Mei Changsu smiled lightly, and said what he had already thought about, "This is what I was about to tell you. I plan to go back to Langya Mountain with Lin Chen in a few days."
"You want to go?" Xiao Jingyan's complexion changed suddenly, and he quickly stepped in front of him, his eyes fixed on his face.
Mei Changsu knew that he was hard to let go, and felt a little sad, but he had to put on a smile on his face, "You also know that Lin Chen is good at medicine. Langya Mountain is also a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, which is the most suitable for health care. These In [-], I was really tired from working day and night. Although the current situation is not very good, but your ability is enough to make me feel at ease. So, I should also put my love on the mountains and rivers, and have a few years of leisurely enjoyment, right?"
"This..." Xiao Jingyan was extremely reluctant to leave his best friend.But when he thought of the beautiful mountains and waters that Mei Changsu said were good for health, he felt that he really had no reason to stop him.
After a moment of silence, the Prince Donggong sighed, "In that case, it's up to you. But you have to remember, when you are healthy, remember to come back and see me."
He didn't know about the March deadline, Mei Changsu
