lonely king

The news that Da Jiang came back to power, and Baili Nian was Jiang Nian, the old master of Da Jiang, spread all over the world.Of course Qiang Hao didn't say anything, with Taoyang City as the gathering place for information, Sai Jian was naturally the first to know the news, this person who is usually the most reckless, was indeed the calmest at this time, even Dashu Changliu unexpectedly He also frowned, thinking a lot, but he looked indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

But Xizhao's Yue Yan is not so calm. Baili Nian is Jiang Nian. What does this mean? However, Xizhao is the only one left in the Three Kingdoms back then, so how could Yue Ming not be worried.

Xizhao King City, study room.

"Why didn't this king think that Baili Nian was Jiang Nian? When Baili Nian came to Xizhao, this king talked about Jiang Nian with him, but his expression was indifferent, and he didn't show any lies. It's my king's carelessness!"

Yue Zhixin was beside him. She was sitting by the cushioned stove. Relying on the decoction to suspend his energy, he didn't have much energy when listening to Yueying's words, he just slowly raised his head.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be upset. Baili Nian is a man with a deep mind and acts treacherously. It is reasonable for His Majesty not to see through him, but the current situation is not good for us Xi Zhao."

How could Yue Ming not understand, especially knowing that the death of the old King Xizhao back then was caused by Baili Nian, and that the Three Kingdoms besieged Nanming was by Baili Nian, and now Beiyan was seized by Baili Nian again, such a scheming Man, how could he not be worried, Xizhao was the only surviving one of the Three Kingdoms back then.

Yue Wei let out a long sigh, "We and Da Jiang are bound to be irreconcilable, and we are in a tight situation in Xizhao."

Yue Zhixin also frowned, how could she not think of things that Yue Ji could think of, and she thought farther than Yue Ji, and was even more afraid of Baili Nian. After he lowered his eyes and smiled for a while, suddenly He opened the mouth and said, "Your Majesty, let's send the letter of credence to Da Jiang."

"Hand over the credentials?" Yue Wei was puzzled, "Isn't our enmity with that Jiang Nian obvious enough? The downfall of Jiang Nian must have something to do with Xi Zhao, and the meaning of Jiang Nian's revenge for the country is also obvious enough. Can he accept the letter of credence? Da Jiang and Xi Zhao will never be friends."

Of course Yue Zhixin knew what Yue Zhi said, but she had a different idea. Yue Zhi Xin looked down at the map and said, "Although Da Jiang occupies the northern border, the turmoil in Chao Gang seems to have stabilized, but Da Jiang Jiang's soldiers and horses are not as good as before. Yu Wenyang is dead, and his 50 troops are all destroyed in the western region. Although Baili Nian has the original Beiyan's guards in his hands, they are by no means as brave as before, not to mention the turmoil in the hearts of the people in the north. Woolen cloth."

Yuezhi paused for a moment, "Baili Nian took advantage of the turbulence in the hearts of the people in the northern border to seize power. At this moment, he only wants to recuperate and recuperate. He has absolutely no desire to fight. We will definitely accept the letter of credence we handed over to Baili Nian, no matter whether he lives or not. No matter what you think, he will definitely make friends with us at this moment."

Yue Ming still didn't understand, "But, why do we want to be friends with Da Jiang? If Da Jiang is strong in the future, Baili Nian will definitely not let Xi Zhao go."

Yue Zhixin smiled slightly, "We sent people to Da Jiang, isn't it just to check on Da Jiang's situation? If we can put eyeliner in Da Jiang, even if things change in the future, we won't be too passive."

Yue Ming raised his eyebrows, "That's a good idea."

……

Baili Nian naturally agreed with Xizhao's friendship. It is indeed a matter for him to have a good relationship between the two countries. After all, Jiang needs to recuperate.

The northern border seems to have really fallen into peace, and the world has also settled down. After Baili Nianfu established the Great Jiang, he recuperated in accordance with public opinion, and the chaotic northern border suddenly calmed down because of Yuwen.Towards the end of the year, the sky seems to be getting colder, and there has been a little snow in the past few days. The northern border is already a little bit colder, but it is also very dry. The snowflakes fall on the hard ground, without melting It piled up, and even the dead branches were covered with piles of white snow.

On the small hillside outside the King City in the Northern Territory, the whole mountain was covered in white snow, covering all the gray leaves of the withered leaves. It seemed that the withered leaves in winter had been saved, but it had been snowing for many days, and even the path up the mountain was difficult. It was submerged, and the hunters at the bottom of the mountain were all resting at home, and no one went up the mountain, and this hill was actually immersed in silence.

But in the east wind with snowflakes blowing, a figure appeared on the hill.A man wrapped in a black cotton velvet cloak stood beside the dead tree. He had been staring at the low grave in front of him for a long time without moving, standing there as if frozen.

His face was wrapped in a black cloth gauze, hiding his face under the black cloth, only revealing a pair of Danfeng peach blossom eyes.This is the face of a young man, but his eyes are extremely complicated, with some sadness and some resentment. He has been looking at the low grave on the ground, and his weak eyes suddenly become sharp. That is Yu Wen. Great grave.

"Aiqing, the lonely king shouldn't be so cowardly." The man murmured.

Suddenly there was a wind blowing, blowing the man's bangs, under the bangs were a pair of eyes burning with anger.

……

"It's snowing again."

In the Shuyue Pavilion, Baili Nian raised his eyes and looked out the window. There seemed to be a lot of snow this year. Last year, he left Taoyang in the snowstorm and came to Beiyan. It’s just that a year has passed, and the scenery is different from before. Li Nian stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake, watching the snowflake melt into a drop of water in his palm, his eyes were a little dark.

Mo Yan came in from outside the house, he was covered in snow, before he had time to clear the snow, he walked towards Baili Nian with a solemn expression, he frowned, "Your Majesty."

"Talk slowly if you have anything to say." Baili Nian noticed his anxiety, then closed the west window and looked back at Mo Yan.

Mo Yan's expression was very solemn, and he took a step forward, "Your Majesty, just now Mo Ying came to report that she seems to have discovered something about the disappearance of King Beiyan's body."

Mo Ying is different from Mo Yan, she has a very strong will to win and lose, she must find out the reason for what made her fall, even if Jiang Fuli is still squatting in the library, and God will not let her down. It really made her find some clues.This matter is not only on Mo Ying's head, Baili Nian is also on guard in his heart, being able to take the corpse out of the Library Pavilion is definitely enough to cause a disaster.

"What discovery?" Baili Nian's eyes became sharper.

Mo Yan: "Go back to the king, Mo Ying found a trap in the deepest part of the library, on the last floor of the bookcase, move a book on it, and a secret passage will appear."

"Secret way?" Baili Nian raised his eyes. Before Zhong Yan's accident happened, he had arranged his own manpower in Cangshu Pavilion. Even after inquiring countless times, this mechanism has not been found. It can be seen that this is an extremely hidden and important enough mechanism.

Mo Yan went on to say: "It's a secret passage, Mo Ying immediately told me after discovering it, Mo Ying and I passed through that passage, the secret passage is under the palace and leads all the way to the outside of the palace, it's more than ten miles away. After Mo Ying and I came out, we found that we had reached the hillside outside the palace. This secret passage was not very special, but it was deep and long enough, and there was nothing placed in the passage. It should be just a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace. "

"Zangshu Pavilion has a secret road leading to the outside of the palace?" Baili Nian murmured these words, thoughtfully, "So your guess is that someone entering and exiting Zangshu Pavilion is not a road in the palace at all. , but this secret path?"

"The subordinates are not just guessing, but have already confirmed."

Mo Yan took out a sword tassel from his bosom as he spoke. The goose yellow sword tassel is indeed exquisite in workmanship and the thread used for weaving is also high-quality, but such a sword tassel is not extremely rare. If you can have it, it's just a broken sword ear, and it's nothing special at a glance.Baili Nian looked up, but when his eyes fell on the fluttering ears, he understood.

He had seen this sword tassel before.

Mo Yan took out a sword from his hand, it was the Yuhan Golden Sword, Baili Nian knew him very well, this sword was taken by Baili Nian after Yu Wenyang's death, and he gave the sword to Mo Yan Yan, he once promised Mo Yan that one day he would give Uncle Wang's Yuhan Golden Sword to him. Baili Nian did not break his promise, but the appearance of this sword in front of him now has another meaning.

The fringe on this Yuhan golden sword is exactly the same as the fringe that Mo Yan just gave.

"The Yuhan golden sword was given to Yu Wenyang by Zhongyan. The fringe of this sword is still the original one. I also asked the palace servants who served Zhongyan, and they said that Zhongyan also has a favorite dagger. With the same sword tassel, from this point of view, Zhong Yan must have walked through that secret road. No, it should be said that the person who took Zhong Yan away walked that secret road and left behind this sword tassel.”

This was deduced by Mo Yan and Mo Ying, Mo Yan told Baili Nian, Baili Nian picked up the sword tassel on the table, looked down, but his expression was a little complicated, he murmured, "Which one?" When people take away a corpse, do they still remember to take a short blade? Let this sword tassel be left in the secret passage..."

Baili Nian suddenly raised his head and looked at Mo Yan, "Is Zhongyan's body carrying this dagger?"

Mo Yan thought about it for a while and shook his head, "I asked Mo Ying, and Mo Ying said that she was guarding the corpse at that time, and there was nothing on the corpse, let alone a dagger hanging on it, and the one with a yellow spike His dagger has been in another room in the Library Pavilion."

Baililian nodded, "That means someone ran to get the short blade on purpose, and then left through the secret passage with Zhongyan's body."

"Both Mo Ying and I think so." Mo Yan echoed, and that was his inference.

Baili Nian took the sword tassel and played it in his hand for a while, his eyes were dark, he didn't know what he was thinking, thinking that his playing hand stopped suddenly, his eyelashes trembled, and he raised his eyes, "In the palace There are so many long swords and short blades, and the short sword is not unusual, but he ran to another room and took away only the short sword with the same tassel, which shows that this person thinks that the short blade is important, In other words, it is because of nostalgia that you will take the dagger when you leave, who would think that this dagger is important and must be taken away?"

"Who?" Mo Yan blinked his eyes, not understanding.

Baili pursed his lips, "I'm afraid it's only Zhongyan himself."

Mo Yan: "?" He didn't even understand.

But Baili Nian raised his eyes, "Didn't you say that he valued the dagger with the yellow tassel the most?"

Among so many long swords and short blades, being able to take away the short blades with relatively ordinary materials and forgings shows that this short blade is extremely important to him.Moreover, the person who knows that there is a secret passage in Zangshu Pavilion must also be a person in the palace. After investigating this matter for so long, no one in the palace knows that there is a secret passage, not to mention that Zangshu Pavilion is Zhongyan's favorite place. , no one would be more familiar than him, if only one person knew this secret path, it would be only himself.

Mo Yan frowned, "But Zhong Yan is dead, haven't we all seen his body? How could he leave by himself?"

Yeah, how could he leave by himself?

Baili pursed his lips, his eyes were complicated, maybe he underestimated the cowardly King Beiyan.
