Xixi country.

A man in his forties was sitting beside the flower table, frowning and reviewing piles of memorials. Even though there were a few strands of white hair mixed between his temples, his delicate facial features showed his youthful appearance.

Not long after, a servant with the appearance of a eunuch pushed the door in from the outside, walked carefully in front of the man, knelt down on the ground, and respectfully announced the news just received, "My lord... General Rao Tian has been defeated." He hesitated to speak, he was afraid that the man would be furious and he would lose his head because of it.

The man didn't fly into a rage like the little eunuch imagined, he just responded lightly, but the hand holding the pen tightened.

"Where are Rao Tian and Li Yi?" The man's voice was calm, and he didn't lose his mind at all because of the defeat.

The little eunuch swallowed and spit, "The general was captured by Qingfeng, the general of the Xian army, and Li Yi retreated to Fancheng to guard the city gate and wait for reinforcements. The city has already been captured by the Xian army."

Hearing this, the man finally looked up at the little eunuch who was about to touch the ground with his head down, and said in a deep voice, "How did the virtuous army defeat our 20 army? How many casualties did they have?"

Hearing the man's question, the little eunuch opened his mouth, paused, and answered in a low voice after a long while: "The letter sent by the military master in a hurry day and night said that Zhan Bubai rushed back to the border in advance, and spent a thousand fine cavalry and 1 Thousands of people broke through his Xuanmen formation, and then when our side attacked the Xian army, the Xian army came out and defeated our army..." Speaking of this, the little eunuch did not dare to continue, because the man His face was too... dull.

After a long time, the man put down the pen in his hand, stood up and said, "Send your car to Xian'an Hall."

The little eunuch sighed, nodded again and again, wiped his sweat and left the hall, ready to be driven away in a sedan chair.

Xian'an Temple.

Chu Lin sat quietly on the dragon bed, looking at the bright lights in the room, feeling desolate in his heart, his beautiful brows were frowned, and there was nothing but hatred in his dark pupils, he hated his own incompetence, hated Xiao You's domineering indifference exclusive power.

The sound of boots stepping on the water stone slab came from the empty outer hall, step by step, getting closer.

Chu Lin'an's pupils shrank slightly, and he tightly grasped the brocade quilt on the couch with both hands. The hatred in his eyes was even stronger. Now, except for him, no one can enter the Xian'an Hall anymore.

Sure enough, that disgusting face that made Chu Linan hate him so much appeared in his sight, and Chu Linan stared at him fiercely, speechless.

Xiao You walked to Chu Lin'an's side and stopped, stretched out her slender hand, raised Chu Lin'an's chin, and looked carefully, as if she was looking at something valuable.

"Well, the wound on the face is almost healed. I have said many times, don't hurt yourself, but you just don't listen. Look, it's a pity to ruin such a good model." Xiao You's voice seemed to reveal Affectionate, gentle and intoxicating, but there is a hint of danger between the lines.

Chu Linan stared at Xiao You closely, with hatred on his face, and wanted to break free from the iron chain on his wrist, but only heard the dull sound of the lock, gritted his teeth, and growled, "Get out!" The appearance of being neither human nor ghost is all thanks to Xiao You, how could he not hate it.

"Get lost? Where do you want me to get lost? Only by your side can I feel peaceful and at ease." Xiao You sat beside Chu Lin'an, and reached out to straighten his slightly messy hair, full of affection .

Chu Linan laughed a few times, tried his best not to let Xiao You touch her, and said with sarcasm in her voice, "Calm? Peace of mind? It turns out that locking me up and imprisoning me here in Xian'an Temple to do whatever I want can make you feel at ease! It's been so long that I even forgot to say "Zhen", it's so ridiculous! Xiao You! Do you still think I'm the emperor of Qixi!"

Xiao You is not annoyed either, Chu Linan is often like this, he is used to it, like a cat whose claws have been cut off, what else can it do?Can only be at the mercy of others without the power to fight back.

Besides, only when Chu Lin'an is locked up does he feel that this person will always be by his side, no matter whether Chu Lin'an hates him or not, now he has no way to turn back, and he has never regretted doing so, even if he doesn't get Chu Lin'an As long as he can get his people, Xiao You is already very satisfied. After all, he stole all the days of imprisoning Chu Linan, so he should cherish it even more.

"Lin'an, I will let you out as soon as I capture the Xian Kingdom, so don't hurt yourself anymore, okay?" Xiao You's voice seemed to be trembling, but it was undetectable, but Chu Lin'an didn't hear it at all. He heard that Xiao You's words were all to humiliate and tease him, so he felt even more resentful.

"Wolf ambition... Get out... I don't want to see you again." Chu Lin'an stared at Xiao You fiercely, his voice was hoarse and low, and he didn't have the excitement and rage at the beginning, because he had long been interested in Xiao You. Desperate.

Xiao You stared at Chu Lin'an's face, and slowly fell on the iron chain in Chu Lin'an's hand that made a dull sound from time to time, lowered his eyelids, concealing the moistness in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll get out, but Lin'an don't hurt yourself anymore, or I will... punish you like last time." Xiao You put his lips next to Chu Lin'an's ear and said every word, Chu Lin'an could hear clearly .

Trembling uncontrollably, Chu Linan's eyes were red, and he slapped Xiao You on the face in anger, roaring, "Get out of here! You really make me sick! Xiao You, you really make me sick !"

Xiao You closed her eyes, felt the burning pain on her face and smiled slightly, "It seems that Lin'an has remembered it, that's good, so I can rest assured." After saying that, he stood up and trimmed his hair, then turned his head and looked Chu Lin'an, who was like a trapped beast, turned around and walked out of the main hall, and the eunuchs following outside the hall hurriedly followed Xiao You's footsteps. As for the slap marks on Xiao You's face... he didn't dare to look too much. No one in Xiguo would dare to lay such a heavy hand on the regent except that one, so for the sake of his own head, it's better to act as if he didn't see anything.

"Although it has returned to spring, the Xian'an Hall is still a bit cold. I ordered people to add more charcoal and quilts for Lin'an, so as not to freeze him." Xiao You paused as he was about to get on the sedan chair, and turned his head to order Zhao Li, calm in his heart After coming down, he returned to his usual domineering and indifferent appearance.

"Yes, I will do it now, slave." Zhao Li, who has followed Xiao You for many years, knew Xiao You's temperament well, and hurriedly went to do it. Others didn't know, but he knew that although Emperor Xi'an was imprisoned in Xian'an Palace by the regent, but In Xiao You's heart, Chu Lin'an is more important than the throne...

Good country.

After Li Denan ordered the housekeeper to stand guard outside the study to prevent anyone from entering, he walked into the study and closed the door tightly.

Sitting in front of the table, Li Denan opened the letter sent by his confidant just now, carefully read the contents of the letter, his face showed surprise from time to time, and his eyes were thoughtful.

After reading it, Li Denan lit the letter in his hand with a candle and threw it under his feet. Staring at the letter paper that was gradually being swallowed by the flames, Li Denan couldn't help muttering: "Why should I help Zhan Bubai win Qixi Kingdom? Ah, what is Ying Luo's plan?" He really couldn't figure it out.

"My lord, Shi Zhi asks to see you." The butler knocked on the door lightly, signaling to Li Denan that if it was someone else, he would not rush to tell Li Denan, mainly because Shi Zhi was the one who collected information for Li Denan, so upon hearing Shi Zhi's request Seeing Li Denan, he didn't dare to suppress it, if any important matter was delayed, he would not be offended.

Li Denan coughed twice, picked up the official document waiting for his approval on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Let him in."

"Yes." Butler.

After a while, Shi Zhi opened the door and walked into the study room. When he saw Li Denan, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "My subordinate Shi Zhi sees your lord."

Li Denan raised his eyes and waved his hands, looked at Shi Zhi and said, "Get up, what are you doing today?"

Shi Zhi bowed his head and took a step forward respectfully, and reported: "My lord, the general won the first battle. In just two days, only 20 of the [-] troops of Qixi Kingdom retreated to Fancheng, waiting for the rescue from other cities."

"Twenty thousand? That's an army of 20. How did you manage to be undefeated within two days?" Li Denan was full of surprise, his eyes darkened. He knew that Undefeated was powerful, but how could he be so heroic now.

"At the beginning of the war, the Qixi Army used 5 people to set up a Taoist formation, intending to trap and kill the Zhanjun, but it was broken by Zhan Bubai with a thousand elite cavalry, and then sent another [-] soldiers to chase and kill After exhausting everything, the Qixi Army launched another sneak attack in the middle of the night, trying to take down the border town while the Zhan Army was arranging the celebration wine, but unexpectedly, Zhan Bubai had already guessed the strategy of the Qi Army, and planned to kill the Qi Xi Army by surprise, and then Qi Xi The fifteen armies who attacked the city fled dead and fled, and in the end only the [-] army and the military commander Li Yi fell and ordered the city to retreat to Fancheng." In fact, Shi Zhi admired Zhan Bubai's combat power strategy very much in his heart, indeed With him in one day, the virtuous country will not fall, counting on the king who only seeks pleasure, the virtuous country would have been destroyed by other countries long ago.

Li Denan squinted his eyes and nodded, sighed: "Zhan Bubai is indeed a great general, and there may not be such a one in a hundred years. Compared with his father Zhan Zhongguo, he is really better than blue. If Zhan Bubai is born in... .....Enough."

Shi Zhi frowned and nodded, he was right, he knew what Li Denan meant.

"My lord, this news is expected to reach the emperor's ears in two days. Please make preparations early." Shi Zhi reminded Li Denan carefully.

"Well, next I know what to do. By the way, tell those insiders who are stationed in the barracks that they should do their best to assist Zhan Bubai in taking down Qixi Kingdom, and they will not back down even if they die!" Li Denan's words were decisive, since Yingluo said Yes, then he will do so.

Shi Zhi looked at Li Denan in surprise, he knew Li Denan's big plan very well, he really didn't understand Li Denan's order, he wanted to ask but didn't dare, so he swallowed his words, knelt down and said: " yes!"

Li Denan rolled his eyes at Shi Zhi with a strange expression. Of course he knew that Shi Zhi didn't understand, but how could he understand it himself?However, he believed in Ying Luo's decision and never doubted it.
