Tongshu with Mei

Yang Xi smiled slightly, raised his finger to the north, and changed the subject: "Go northeast from here, across the prairie, and you will find Yinshan Mountain. On the south side of Yinshan Mountain, there is a basin with lush water and grass, flocks of cattle and sheep, Sika Most of the clansmen of the country are entrenched there. That piece of land is a piece of precious land."

Yang Ye said: "Brother, do you want to snatch him over?"

Yang Xidao: "It's useless to snatch it. In fact, I used to have ambitions and ambitions. I wholeheartedly wanted to open up some territory for the Dayan Dynasty. But now it seems that even if it seizes so much land, who will let it go?" What about the jurisdiction? If the management is not good, and in the end they are not as good as these Tartars, then there is no point in snatching them over. I want a lot of soldiers and horses to demonstrate and let them feel that we also have the power to fight against them. It seems that they are not inferior to them, but this is not the fundamental way to solve the border issues between the two countries. The best result is to make Sika a part of my Dayan Dynasty. Use the method of peace and equality, and use my Central Plains etiquette to assimilate They, integrate them. If there is no war on the frontier, the people of the two countries will be safe and healthy. But now it seems that all dreams are based on one foundation, and that is what you say. Xiaolang, Yunqi, what do you think? ?”

Bei Chenqing smiled but didn't speak, Yang Ye nodded but didn't speak.Yang Xi looked at him intently, seeing that his eyelids were drooping, and he seemed to be slightly distracted, so he tapped his shoulder twice, and asked, "What is Xiaolang thinking?"

Yang Ye quickly lifted his spirits, and responded: "It's nothing. Brother, we hope that one day you can have the final say in the Dayan Dynasty, but on the day when you have the final say, I want to enjoy the blessings and live a good life , I have to get what I want.”

He was talking nonsense at first, but Yang Xi heard it in his heart, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "What does Little Wolf want? Brother promises you, when this day really comes, I will give it to you."

Yang Ye smiled and said: "I want... I can't think about it right now, I'll talk about it later. Brother, just remember not to renege on your debt." He said it joyfully, but his heart suddenly felt a little sour, and he sighed indistinctly.

Yang Xi smiled, and turned to look at Bei Chenqing: "What about Yun Qi? What does Yun Qi want? You can also talk about it."

Bei Chenqing raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were clear and gentle, like a pool of spring water, but also slightly shy.He had never asked Yang Xi for anything before, and this time he mustered up his courage and said softly: "I am also like a little wolf, and we will talk about it later. Just remember, Your Highness... Just don't forget."

Yang Xi smiled and said: "Well, you are all planning to set a long line to catch big fish and lay an ambush with me. Then Yun Qi will go back and prepare now, be prepared."

Bei Chenqing took the order, and from this day onwards he really started to rectify the troops and prepare everything.Yang Ye's injuries were not healed, and he couldn't continue to work hard, so he handed over dozens of guards to Bei Chenqing to dispatch, and he rested in the tent to recuperate.

Yang Ye's injury became lighter day by day, and he could go for a walk in the ground, so he sneaked into Bei Chenqing's tent, got into his quilt and waited.Bei Chenqing was busy until midnight, when he returned to the tent, Yang Ye got up from the bed and said, "Yun Qi, are you back?"

Bei Chenqing asked in surprise: "What are you doing hiding here? You are injured, why don't you go to bed early?"

Yang Ye said, "I can't sleep." With a gloomy face, he raised his eyes to look at Bei Chenqing: "Where is Ling Shu's Pillow Ice Sword? I heard you put it away, give it to me."

Bei Chenqing glanced at him, then took out the sword from the wooden box on the side, and handed it to him silently.Yang Ye took it, looked at it intently for a moment, and said: "Yun Qi, if the imperial court's army comes over, are you ready?"

Bei Chenqing nodded: "It means that there is a shortage of food and grass. This place is too desolate, so it is difficult to collect food and grass. The existing ones are all saved from the past. But it is better when the war really starts. If I tear my face, I will take someone to grab it It is not difficult to approve it back."

Yang Ye said: "That's good, I'll go out for a while." He wandered around and saw an ebony gold-painted box on Beichenqing's case that contained military runes and documents, and said: "That box looks strangely valuable. That one is also freed for me. , I want to too. You have been busy all day, go to sleep now. "

Bei Chenqing obeyed and gave him the wooden box, Yang Ye carried the box and went out with the sword.Bei Chenqing watched his back disappearing in the darkness, stayed for a moment, then pushed him out again, saying: "Little wolf, you... If not..." Yang Ye turned his head and waved his hands, and left without saying a word.

The prisoner-of-war camp in Yang Xi's army is heavily guarded, and the dungeon is the top priority.Because Ling Shu, a felon, was here, during this period, Bei Chenqing sent three brothers from the Ma family to guard here.Yang Ye brought his personal bodyguard Zhong Lizhen and Nian Wei, and the free soldiers opened the prison door respectfully.Ma Tianyun greeted him quickly, and Yang Ye asked, "Is Ling Shu dead?"

Ma Tianyun shook his head: "My Lord, Master Ling is still alive."

The corners of Yang Ye's lips twitched slightly, whether it was sarcasm or a sigh: "Why aren't you dead yet? You're quite alive. Are you still sick? Are you willing to eat?"

Ma Tianyun said conveniently: "I'm not very awake most of the time, and occasionally wake up for a while. Rice...he refuses to eat. Tianbao feeds him when he is half awake, and can pour in a little."

Yang Ye nodded and said, "I'll take a look."

He walked down the steps step by step, followed by all the guards, except for their footsteps, there was no sound in the prison.

Yang Ye walked slowly outside the cell where Ling Shu was being held, Ma Tianyun took the first step to unlock the lock and invited him in.A few days ago, Bei Chenqing sent someone to send a bedding here. Ling Shu curled up in the quilt because of fever and chills, as if unconscious, with only a few strands of black hair scattered outside the quilt.Yang Ye leaned over to uncover the quilt, and saw that his hands and feet were shackled, and his body was still wrapped in the clothes he had thrown on when he hurriedly fled his camp that day, and he was already in a mess.

Yang Ye looked down for a while, and said: "Come here, take off his shackles. Go get another pot of hot water and bring me a set of clothes. Hurry up. The rest of you go out and leave." I'll stay far away." He stretched out his hand to make a gesture, and all the guards understood and went to work separately.

When there was no one in the cell, Yang Ye knelt down and helped Ling Shu up to lean on him.Ling Shu leaned against him softly, with his head resting in his arms, very obedient and submissive.Yang Ye stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, felt that he was still feverish, and murmured: "Ling Shu, why haven't you died yet? In fact, it's fine if you died these few days. Sigh, it's up to now. Nothing works. I see that you are usually very particular about basic necessities of life. Today, you are in such a mess. I am also to blame. Anyway, I have slept with you. No matter how you treat me, I should not treat you like this. I will clean up for you. clean."

When the hot water and clothes were brought, Yang Ye sent the guards out, took off his ragged clothes, and personally wiped Ling Shutong's body with hot water, and then put the layers of inner and middle clothes on He put on, and finally a set of cherry-white brocade clothes.Ling Shu's black hair was soft and his skin was crystal clear. Even though he was unconscious, his face looked deathly, but his clothes and clothes still matched him very well.Yang Ye stared at him with his head down, a little dazed, if he was willing to bow his head, if he was willing to smile, he must be a handsome young man among the peach blossoms and willows in the south of the Yangtze River.Beautiful or not, charming but seductive.

It's a pity that he was raised by the emperor as a favorite, arrogant and indifferent, defiant.

Yang Ye was full of emotions, unable to distinguish between sorrow and joy, leaned over after a while, lightly pressed his cheek, and said with a smile: "Look at you wearing my clothes are quite suitable, it seems that we are really like a family It's a pity that although you are not a member of the emperor, you have always followed the emperor and are more noble than me, the Marquis of Huainan. Even if I keep you, I may not be able to support you, and now I really can't keep you. We have no choice , can only start trouble, just now there is a way to survive, after all, this is thanks to you."

He put Ling Shu down on the quilt, picked up the pillow ice sword, drew the sword out of its sheath, the sword was like autumn water, and the sword energy was cold: "Ling Shu, your sword is fast, I will use your sword. Your body , I will choose a feng shui place for you to bury, and this sword will be buried with you. Your head... I will chop it off and send it to Yang Tao. From then on, I will completely turn against him!"

Ling Shu couldn't wake up, he didn't know that he even prepared the box to hold the human head properly, he didn't know that he slowly raised the long sword, he didn't know that he frowned and gritted his teeth to be very conflicted, and finally decided to cut down with the sword cruelly, and then Yang Ye heard Bei Chenqing's voice outside and said: "That box is mine, you can't use it casually."

Yang Ye was startled suddenly, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, as if in a dream.Then he turned his head and saw Bei Chenqing really standing outside the prison, with a gentle and calm expression on his face.

Yang Ye said: "You... what do you mean?"

Bei Chenqing said: "I mean, I used that box to hold military talismans. I've changed my mind now, and I won't use it for you to hold human heads." He walked in slowly, and looked at Yang Ye with a smile on his face.Yang Ye lowered his face and said, "Are you kidding me?"

Bei Chenqing saw that he was really not in a good mood, so he stopped teasing him: "Little wolf, don't kill him yet. His Royal Highness Zhao Wang asked me to call you over, there are other things to discuss."

Yang Ye squinted at him, frowned slightly, neither retracted nor slashed the long sword, his expression seemed very serious, persistent, and heartless: "No, I have to kill. If I don't kill, I will fall into the name of a fake public servant. , I don't want to bear such a false name! I said, why are you always protecting him?"

Bei Chenqing smiled and said: "Actually, I think it doesn't matter whether he is killed or not. Since he intends to turn his back on him completely, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive. If you really want to kill him, otherwise, you can kill him right now." , in front of His Royal Highness King Zhao, the two of us agreed, saying that I was late and did not stop you in time. Is that good?"

Yang Ye frowned and said, "How is that possible? I have to listen to my brother's words. You know that I have always been the most obedient and obedient since I was a child. Do you want me to ruin my fame for a lifetime? Humph! I am not It's your fault!" After saying that, he retracted the sword and put it back into its sheath: "Speak, why don't you let me kill you?"

Bei Chenqing said: "Someone has come from the court. It is another emperor's favorite minister, Lord Jing Huaiyu, who carries the imperial decree with him. Why don't you go and listen?"

Yang Ye suddenly laughed, and said: "He seems to be interested in you, hehe, of course I have to go and listen. I also want to see him flirting with you! Go...you go first."

Bei Chenqing turned around and went out.Yang Ye saw that his back turned around the corner and disappeared, so he hurriedly covered Ling Shu with the quilt again and tucked it tightly.In the end, he leaned over to look at his face carefully for a moment, seeing that he was still sleepy with his eyes closed, unaware that he had already walked through life and death, so he said viciously: "You are lucky today, let me spare you and let me go Listen to what the emperor said. If it doesn't suit the Lord Hou, I will kill you when I come back. Just wait!"

He followed Bei Chenqing to the central army tent, and Jing Huaiyu was already waiting for the edict to be announced. Yang Ye and Bei Chenqing hurriedly knelt behind Yang Xi, listening to Jing Huaiyu announce the imperial edict, which began with "" Give a crime to Dali Temple Zuo Shaoqing Ling Shuzhi", Yang Ye heard it in his ears, forgot the rules, and looked up at Jing Huaiyu blankly.He was so rude, Jing Huaiyu turned a blind eye to him, and continued to proclaim: "There is Dali Temple Zuo Shaoqing Ling Shu, who ignored the Dayan Dynasty's laws and regulations, and privately brought Yi Zhenwei out of Beijing to the Great Pass of the Fortress to confuse and disturb the princes and important officials guarding the pass. Today, Jing Huaiyu, the Minister of Rites, is ordered to go to the border, and Ling Shu will be escorted back to Beijing immediately to be executed. This is your honor."

After Master Jing finished reading, he neatly rolled up the imperial decree into a volume and handed it to Yang Xi who was kneeling on the ground. Yang Xi stretched out his hand to take it, and said respectfully, "I obey the decree."

Jing Huaiyu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please stand up. I came here on orders. Although I have traveled thousands of miles, I am also fortunate to be able to see the majesty and majesty of Your Highness. It is a great honor." What he said "to see" was not casual flattery, but He practiced himself and looked at Yang Xi obsessively.As if Yang Xi didn't know it, he stood up calmly, allowing him to look at him casually.

Yang Ye saw it, and secretly cursed in his heart: "Looking at him like this, even if you can't pull out the eyes, it's not your turn either!"

But Jing Huaiyu continued: "I don't know how Master Ling Shuling is doing now? He has caused serious trouble this time. The emperor was furious when he heard about his behavior. Another officer escorted him back to Beijing immediately, waiting to be executed."

Yang Ye interjected, "Why didn't you kill him immediately?"

Jing Huaiyu was stunned, and then restrained his surprise, and said: "This...Master Ling has been in Dali Temple for several years, and many documents and materials have been controlled by him. There are also several cases in his hands that have not been completed. All of these need to be explained clearly by him. Cutting fear is inappropriate."

Yang Ye let out a "tow", and was going to continue to speak satirically, but Yang Xi took him behind him without a trace, and said: "Lord Ling came suddenly, Xiao Wang didn't know where he was, and couldn't deal with it, so I had to ask him to stay in the prisoner-of-war camp." Let's live here for a few days. I have been exposed to the wind and cold for a few days, and I have a slight ailment. Now I have taken the medicine and I am in a coma. This is all the crime of Xiao Wang's negligence. Master Jing traveled all the way, and the boat and car were exhausted. Let Xiao Wang Let's prepare a thin banquet to clean up the dust for my lord. Afterwards, I will hand over Lord Ling."

Upon hearing this, Jing Huaiyu immediately smiled, "Thank you so much for being so disrespectful. After enjoying the wine with His Royal Highness, I will return to Beijing in time to return to your command. I would like to thank His Royal Highness Zhao Wang first."

After exchanging pleasantries, it was just in time for lunch, Yang Xi really prepared a feast for Jing Huaiyu.During the banquet, Yang Xi and Jing Huaiyu took the main seats, accompanied by Yang Ye, Bei Chenqing and Yuan Ouming.Halfway through the walk, Yang Ye was half drunk, he and Jing Huaiyu sat next to each other, seeing that Jing Huaiyu's eyes were either lingering on Yang Xi, or lingering on Bei Chenqing, occasionally peeping at him.He became impatient watching, and leaned on Jing Huaiyu's shoulder pretending to be crazy with wine: "Master Jing, you and I are old acquaintances. After the capital, I miss you very much. Come, have a drink!"

This kind of flirting and chattering, persuading Jing Huaiyu to drink a few more glasses, seeing that he was slightly drunk, Yang Ye continued to test: "I heard that the emperor appreciates your lord very much. Your lord's family is rich, and he is not enjoying the blessings in the capital, but It is because of this perverse and stubborn Lord Ling that I came here outside the Great Wall to do this hard work. I was forced out of Beijing that day, and it was he who foolishly arrested the wrong person and humiliated me in every possible way. I am afraid that he will not admit defeat. Unyielding took the opportunity to make trouble again, so I had to come here to take refuge here temporarily. So I am worried for my lord. Although the emperor has an imperial decree, but according to his past crazy behavior, he may not be willing to go back with your lord honestly, and go on hunger strike and make trouble along the way Yes, can your lord handle it well? Why don’t you kill him on the spot and return to Beijing to return to your command, the emperor won’t blame you if you think about it.”

Jing Huaiyu's eyes were rippling, and he smiled and said: "This time, the official came here on order, but he dared not act on his own. He refused to go back, but he couldn't help him. He was escorted, not invited. Besides, the official brought him another There is an edict from the emperor. If Master Ling doesn't believe it or refuses, just show him to understand."

Yang Ye chuckled lightly: "Really? Is there another handbook? It seems that Your Majesty really has insight into the details and knows how to use them well. It is a blessing for my subjects to follow such an emperor!"

Jing Huaiyu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, what Master Hou said is very true."

A drink lasted from noon to night, seeing that the sky was completely dark, Yang Xifang ordered several attendants to serve Mr. Jing to rest.Yang Ye staggered and followed Yang Xi back to the tent of the Chinese army, and said repeatedly: "Brother, brother, this is a conspiracy, no, it's a conspiracy! You clearly used the imperial decree to suppress us and let you release Ling Shu." Go back, and then send troops to clean us up."

Yang Xi said: "You drink too much, go to bed."

Yang Ye held onto his arm and said, "I'm not drunk, what I said is true!"

Yang Xi turned around and put his arms around his shoulders and laughed: "The Emperor thinks Master Ling is very important, but in my heart, I feel that he is an insignificant person, so I don't care whether to let the tiger go back to the mountain or not. You can't walk steadily, go to sleep. Yun Qi, you stay with him."

Yang Ye said: "I'm not drunk, hum! I'm not drunk!" Bei Chenqing pulled him away.

As soon as the two of them entered the tent, Yang Ye took out a yellow leather envelope from his pocket and said, "Yun Qi, come and have a look." Bei Chenqing leaned over and wondered, "What is this? Where did it come from?"

Yang Ye said: "I felt it from Jing Huaiyu's bosom." When I opened it, it was indeed the light yellow dragon-pattern paper specially used by the emperor in the palace, on which was Yang Tao's handwriting: "Yuanmei: The wind is strong in the front, so you can come back. "But there is no signature underneath.

He squinted at such an ambiguous aura for a moment, then asked, "Who is Yuanmei?"

Bei Chenqing said: "Master Ling's name is Yuanmei, don't you know?"

Yang Ye suddenly became angry, stretched out his hand to grab Bei Chenqing's shoulder and pushed back, directly leaning against a desk: "How do I know this? I have never seen him before! You know, but why didn't you tell me earlier? What else do you know about him? He hides his head and tail with me every day! Are you still a good buddy?"

Bei Chenqing was so hurt that his back hurt, he hurriedly explained: "I thought you knew. I can't remember much about the others, because Mr. Ling... can't come out. Bai Tingbi sorts out all our materials and documents, and puts them in Zhao In the study room of the palace. You don’t like reading, so you don’t read it yourself. Little wolf, let go first, your smell of alcohol makes me uncomfortable, and my back hurts!”

Yang Ye slowly let go, sat down in a chair, and said angrily, "This is clearly a trick to get Ling Shu to leave! How could the emperor kill him? I don't even believe it."

Bei Chenqing stretched out his hand and rubbed his lower back, pondered for a moment, and said, "I don't believe it either. But you don't want Jing Huaiyu to take him away, do you want to save it and kill him yourself?"

Yang Ye froze, looked up at him blankly, he didn't know what he was thinking.Seeing this, Bei Chenqing became sympathetic, and said: "Listen to His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, let him go back. Let's take a step back for now, and we have room for change. The next thing is to fight each other. It's them." We're not afraid of having one more him, right?" He paused, then coaxed him softly, "Go to sleep. By the way, ask someone to return this handbook to Mr. Jing."

On the second day, Jing Huaiyu escorted Ling Shu back to Beijing, accompanied by Dong Quil, Dong Ge and several Yi Zhenwei who were lucky enough to survive.Ling Shu was carried out of the barracks on a stretcher and put into a carriage, not a prison cart.As a criminal, he was still shackled.Yang Ye looked at it from a distance, thought for a moment, and asked Bai Tingbi to send the pillow ice sword over. He turned his head and explained to Bei Chenqing: "Since you don't care about having him alone, of course you don't care about having another sword, right?"

Bei Chenqing nodded, and under the leadership of Yang Xi, the crowd saw off the imperial envoy and watched the group of people meander away, drifting away, hiding behind the desolate and barren mountains.
