lonely king

Nearly the end of the new year, the weather has become a bit colder, this year's winter is a bit colder than in previous years, the heavy snowfall of years ago seems to be eager to cover up the world after the war, the last one has not melted away , There will be another snow covered the earth.

The restoration of the Great Jiang Kingdom means the re-establishment of the Great Jiang King as the capital of the country. Although Yeling was not included in the country, and it still occupies the place of Beiyan, Da Jiang is orthodox after all, and the whole world once belonged to Da Jiang. The Jiang royal family is orthodox. Even when the three major vassal states were destroyed and Da Jiang established his own country, there were still many small countries who dared not speak out. In the book of state, Jiang Nian didn't care about the old score and made friends with Xizhao. The small countries in the north of the northern border, including the small country in the north of Baiji, took advantage of the New Year's Eve to come to Jiang to express their condolences and friendship.

However, after Da Jiang returned to the country, Qiang Zhuo never sent envoys to the northern border.

Baili Nian did not send envoys to Qiang Zhuo, who is currently in great power, and the two kings seemed more like strangers.

Qiang Zhuo did not become a vassal with Jiang when he was in Cangyu Mountain, and now he has established himself as a country in the Central Plains, becoming the overlord of his own side, and the world said that King Qiang Zhuo was full of courage, and he had no intention of making friends with Jiang. Although Da Jiang is not the same as Da Jiang eight years ago, he occupies the northern border and is still a powerful country in the world.No matter how you look at it, the two great powers seem to be at odds with each other, not to mention that neither side has said anything to each other.

Naturally, people in the world don't know the relationship between Sai Jian and Baili Nian, they only know that Qiang Zhu and Da Jiang didn't have a good relationship and no business relationship.

The heavy snow in the northern border has covered the official roads tightly. In recent years, every household has stopped working and hid at home to warm up the fire to escape the cold. No one goes out, so that the entire northern border is safe.It's just that on the official road from the north to the west, there is a carriage walking in the snow. The nearby path has been blocked by heavy snow. This is the only way to go to the west, which is the way to Taoyang City.

The carriage bumped a bit, and the window cloth was bumped up. Sitting inside was a young man, dressed in green clothes, his brows were slightly frowned, and he told the people in front to hurry up. If anyone could go to the carriage, Taking a look inside, one can find that he is the original Beiyan Wang Zhongyan, but he is not wearing fancy clothes at this time, and his eyes are not as soft as before.

"Your Majesty, are we really going to Qiangzhu?" The driver was Fang Yu, Zhongyan's bodyguard, and he came out with Zhongyan.

Zhong Yan pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, "Go, the only ones who can compare with Baili Nian in today's world are Qiang Zhu and Xi Zhao. Xi Zhao has already made peace with Da Jiang, and this king can only Go to Qiangmao."

"However, Your Majesty, I heard that Sai Jian, the king of Qiang Zhuo, has a rough personality, and he is an old acquaintance with Baili Nian." Fang Yu said worriedly.

Zhongyan pursed his lips, "So what if they are old acquaintances, what is it in front of the world, so what if King Qiangzhu's character is rough and difficult to deal with, so this king will retreat? I have been worried about this and that all these years. , are there still few things to retreat? If it weren't for the constant worry and conservativeness in everything, Baili Nian wouldn't have taken advantage of the loophole!"

Fang Yu glanced back at Zhong Yan, and sighed, "Actually, the king was killed and not waiting for General Yuwen to come back. We just missed the opportunity, and the king is not wrong to be worried."

"Don't talk about it." Zhong Yan stopped Fang Yu, he turned his head and looked outside the car, the outside of the car was covered with snow, this was his Beiyan Jiangshan.

Zhongyan had indeed discovered something was wrong with Zangshuge long ago. He had quarreled with Yu Wenyang before and was pushed by Yu Wenyang, which did hurt Zhongyan's head, but he was not unconscious. The next day he He woke up, but after waking up, he found that something was wrong with the Library Pavilion, there were more strange faces, and he always felt that someone was watching him.

In order to be safe, Zhongyan pretended to be in a coma. He wanted to wait for the opportunity to catch the person who designed this, but he was poisoned by Baili Nian while pretending to be in a coma, and he fell into a coma completely. There is no one who belongs to him except Fang Yu, and although Fang Yu is by his side in the name of a bodyguard, he is not very proficient in swordsmanship. Help Zhongyan detoxify.

After Zhongyan woke up again, he found that he was completely locked up, and there was no one inside or outside the library, so he began to suspect that Baili Nian and Yu Wenyang were in collusion to usurp his throne. At that time, Yu Wenyang's army had already entered the palace, and Yu Wenyang was the one who killed the prime minister, so how could Zhong Yan still trust him.

In order to escape, Zhong Yan used Fang Yu's explosives to kill him. After weakening the opponent's vigilance, he took the opportunity to escape through the secret passage and went to another general Bai. He hid first and then found a chance to counterattack back to the palace.It was originally a foolproof plan, but Zhong Yan never expected that Yu Wenyang would suddenly go south to attack Nanming, and General Bai was also in the army going south. He didn't know where he was going after he left the palace, and he was afraid of being followed by Mo Ying and others. people caught.

Not long after he ascended the throne, the generals were basically Yu Wenyang's people, and the civil servants were checked out by him, and the palace was already full of people from Baili Nian, and the news of King Beiyan's death was suppressed again. He was too worried. He was able to compromise first, and wanted to wait for General Bai to return from Nanming, but he did not expect that General Bai would die in battle. Zhong Yan was really clever but was misunderstood by cleverness, and was killed by caution when he was cautious.

It wasn't until Baili Nian came back to Li Dajiang that he realized that all these incidents were Baili Nian's design, including Yu Wenyang, whom he had resented, but they were just being used by others. Back to justice.Zhong Yan was in grief for a while, if he hadn't been courageous enough at the time, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"The situation has been decided, and it wouldn't be the case if this king hadn't lost the opportunity." Zhong Yan, who knew the truth of the matter, couldn't help but blame himself.

Fang Yu has always been gentle, and he couldn't bear Zhongyan's self-blame, so he could only gently persuade him, "Your Majesty, Yuxi is with you, and everything will be fine."

everything will be fine.It was just a simple sentence of relief, Zhongyan understood Fang Yu's meaning, but whether all this is good or not depends on how he does it, Baili Nian has hurt him so far, he will naturally not compromise anymore, usually gentle Finally, Zhong Yan could no longer smile gently and let the matter continue.

The carriage went all the way to Qiangzhu, even though it was snowing heavily, Zhongyan was always in the palace and never left Beiyan.Now looking at the different scenery along the way, I can't help but sigh in my heart. He shouldn't be afraid of being in the little palace. This world is not the world of peace before. In troubled times.

Zhongyan traveled all night. After traveling for a day and a night, he arrived at the edge of Taoyang city before resting. He had heard about Taoyang for a long time. Taoyang city used to be the transportation hub of Nanming. The Baiji River in the north and south, the northern border to the north, the southern border to the south, and the Cangyu Mountain to the west. It is in an excellent location in the center of the world, and the situation of the world cannot escape the eyes of Taoyang City.

Zhong Yan looked up at the gate of the city with deep eyes, "Fang Yu, go to the city to find out, and then send this letter to Gao Mingtai."

"Isn't your son going to the city?" Fang Yu asked Zhong Yan. In order to avoid being suspected, Fang Yu had already changed his name. After all, Bei Yan had been quietly shattered. What is Beiyan, not to mention the king of Beiyan.

Zhong Yan shook his head, "You just say that you are from the north, you want to meet King Qiang Zhuo in person, and hand over this letter to King Qiang Zhuo Sai Jian in person, and you must be sure that Sai Jian is right when you deliver the letter." If he is curious, you can say that I am already waiting outside Taoyang City; if he is very calm, don't mention me when you come back, and we will make plans."

Zhongyan's meticulous temperament has not changed. In his letter to Sai Jian, he said that he is from the northern region and knows the northern region very well, but he did not say that he is the king of Beiyan Zhongyan. Qiang Hao has the whole world in his heart, he is willing to assist, and presented the detailed map of Dajiang King City, which is the original Beiyan King City. This blueprint even describes the underground secret passage of the palace. Rejoicing, after getting this, he seems to have mastered everything in Da Jiang Wangcheng.

Zhong Yan's gift was sincere enough, if Sai Jian believed in him, he would definitely invite him into the palace, if he didn't trust him, he didn't intend to show up.He who has been hiding in the Beiyan Palace all this time knows very little about the affairs of the world. Even though he has put aside the fear in his heart, he really cannot act recklessly.

Fang Yu understood Zhong Yan's meaning, he bid farewell to Zhong Yan, and sneaked into Taoyang City with this letter.Although Taoyang City is a place where news from all over the world gathers, and people are mixed with good and bad people, but Qiang Zhu's heavy troops control it, it is not easy for Fang Yu to sneak into Gao Mingtai and pass the letter to Sai Jian, but he is in Gao Ming. We met Wei Yu outside Mingtai.

"Are you from the north?" Wei Yu asked Fang Yu.

Fang Yu replied: "Yes, my young master wants to visit King Qiangmao, so he specially wrote a letter, hoping to present it to King Qiangmao in person."

"Your son?"

Mentioning the word "Young Master", Wei Yu slightly raised his eyes and looked at Fang Yu back and forth. The person who came from the north was still a young master, and he wanted to send the letter to Sai Jian himself. Naturally, Wei Yu couldn't think of Zhong Yan. Instead, he put his thoughts on Baili Nian, thinking that Baili Nian came to visit the king because of the previous incident?It's just that he doesn't know the person who sent the letter.

"Why did you come here instead of Mo Yan?" Wei Yu asked Fang Yu.

Fang Yu frowned slightly. He has always been obsessed with medicinal herbs and medical skills. How could he know that Mo Yan was Baili Nian's personal bodyguard, and he had never even heard of this name, but in order to meet King Qiang Zhuo, he had no choice but to bite the bullet Answer, "Mo Yu him...he is not convenient to come, so the young master asked me to deliver the letter."

Hearing this, Wei Yu snorted coldly, with an unfriendly expression, "I knew that brat would have no face!"

Wei Yu thought that because he left without saying goodbye last time, Mo Yan felt ashamed and embarrassed to face him, so he sent other people here.He glanced at Fang Yu, although he was still resentful, but he didn't embarrass him, no matter how bad Baili Nian was, he still couldn't reject Baili Nian's letter for the king.Wei Yu said coldly: "Come with me, I will take you to meet the king."

Although Fang Yu was puzzled, as long as he could see King Qiangma, he didn't care about Wei Yu's attitude. After all, Fang Yu, like Zhong Yan, had never left the northern border, and he didn't understand the customs of Qiangmao. Humanities also don't understand the temperament of Qiangzhu people, so they just nodded gently and followed Wei Yu into Gaomingtai.

……

"Nian'er?" Sai Jian, who was reviewing the memorial, heard Wei Yu's words, and threw away the pen. The red pen threw Qi Hong ink all over the floor. He headed out, "Where is Nian'er, is Nian also here?"

Wei Yu stopped Sai Jian, and said bitterly, "Don't worry about the people outside, it's just..." Wei Yu looked at Sai Jian, "Have you thought about how to face Mr. Baili, Your Majesty?"

Sai Jian was stunned for a moment, he naturally understood what Wei Yu meant. When the Great Jiang Kingdom was reestablished, Nian Er was no longer a magic machine to travel the world without getting caught up in the wind and clouds, but the overlord occupying the northern border. He would no longer serve Qiang as before. After planning, the role identity has changed and the attitude will naturally not be the same.

Sai Jian understood this in his heart, but it didn't mean he was willing to do this. He waved his hand and didn't care.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Yu watched Sai Jian rushing out the door. He couldn't stop him even if he wanted to, so he could only sigh from the bottom of his heart. Things.

Naturally, Wei Yu didn't expect that his worries were completely in vain. After Baili Nian left Taoyang City, he never thought of coming back. It will always be Jiang Nian, and it will no longer be Nanlin Shenji Baili Nian.

On the other side, Sai Jian saw Fang Yu, and couldn't wait to take the letter in his hand. He was full of joy and looked forward to what Baili Nian would bring him, but the more he read the letter, the more gloomy his face became. turned into blackface.The person you expected became the person you expected to deal with. This gap really hurt Sai Jian. He threw away the letter in his hand and looked at Fang Yu.

"Who is Mr. Zhong!?"

In the letter, Zhongyan did not reveal his identity, and signed it as Mr. Beiyan Zhong.

Fang Yu was full of headaches. The King Qiang Zhuo was not as curious and calm as Zhong Yan expected, but instead looked angry. Now he really didn't know how to answer, he just hesitated and couldn't say one, two, three. .

Wei Yu, who had chased after him and read the letter, also frowned, knowing that he had made a mistake, and now this person was not the one sent by Baili Nian at all.Wei Yu unsheathed his sword and pressed it against Fang Yu's neck, "Who are you? Deliver the letter for whom! If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"

Fang Yu really didn't expect things to turn out like this, he knew he couldn't do it if he didn't speak up, "Back... Back to King Qiangzhu, I came from the northern border and was entrusted by Mr. Zhong to deliver a letter to Qiangzhao. This Mr. Zhong He also didn't tell me who he is, I... I'm just a messenger, look at King Qiang's Mingjian!"

Fang Yu was not stupid, seeing that the situation was not good, he didn't let Zhong Yan out, he just made a small fuss.But Fang Yu is not stupid and neither is Sai Jian. He hesitated before and now says he doesn't know him. It would be strange if there was no trick in it.Sai Jian glanced at Fang Yu, then pulled the letter in Wei Yu's hand, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Detain the messenger. In addition, Wei Yu, you send someone to investigate this Mr. Zhong. Go to Taoyang City to investigate. Even if Mr. Zhong is not in Taoyang City, he must not want to outside the city. You must detain Mr. Zhong." Bring it to the king!"

Wei Yu raised his head to look at Sai Jian, understood what he meant, pushed Fang Yu over, and said: "This subordinate understands, and I will definitely bring the person who plays tricks to the king!"

Wei Yu escorted Fang Yu away, and his figure disappeared before his eyes.And Sai Jian was holding the letter in his hand, and looked at the detailed map of the Dajiang Palace area on it. The person who can get such a detailed map must not be an ordinary person. It is unknown how much it will cause Nianer if he is left hanging around outside. Trouble, Sai Jian will naturally not let this person go.

Zhongyan never expected that, he thought that Qiang Zhuo did not have a good relationship with Dajiang, because King Qiangmao and Baili Nian were at odds, but he didn't know the real relationship between the two. He really came to the wrong place when he came to Qiangmao .
