The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

As soon as Bai Yan said this, the faces of several people changed slightly, Yan Ruli was a little slower to react, stared at him and asked in a daze, "What happened?"

"Beidi's things appeared in Daliang, or in an assassination, what do you think?" Bai Yan said, but he didn't seem to be as flustered as he imagined.

"Couldn't the blood thorns be made by Daliang?" Yan Ru, chief executive, had never been abroad in Yingdu for so long, and he was always good at reading books, so he knew little about it.

Bai Yan is different from him. He has lived in the Marquis of Pingjin for ten years, and he is surrounded by generals, not to mention that when Xiao Jiuqin left Yingdu and went to northern Xinjiang, he was always concerned about the war there. Not too little.

"Master Bai's words are true. This blood thorn is not a common hidden weapon. The Daliang Military Supervisor has always followed the holy will and forbids this sinister thing. Only Beidi has always used this sinister thing on the battlefield. Regarding this, Hou Master should be familiar with it."

Xiao Jiuqin nodded, "Beidi is good at riding and shooting. The blood thorns are often used to deal with our soldiers of Daliang. Their vanguard used blood thorns to force my soldiers of Daliang to abandon their horses, and then they used a large group of cavalry to sweep them... "

With infantry against cavalry, what can be the result other than a disastrous defeat.Xiao Jiuqin clenches his fists every time he thinks about the scene of that day. The corpses strewn across the field are soldiers from Daliang, and countless comrades...

Bai Yan was standing beside him, very sensitive to his reaction, he reached out and pressed Xiao Jiuqin's fist calmly, and when Xiao Jiuqin looked over, he gave him a comforting look.

Bai Yan knew exactly which battle Xiao Jiuqin was thinking about.

It was Xiao Jiuqin who had just arrived in Beijiang less than a year ago, and was demoted because of a wrong decision.Fan Chengshan, who was the general at the time, was eager for quick success and quick profit, and dispatched all the cavalry in Daliang to confront the Beidi barbarians head-on for four consecutive days.

Xiao Jiuqin opposed such death from the very beginning. Although the number of troops stationed in Daliang was twice that of Beidi, most of the soldiers were recruits who had never been stained with blood. generally.

Bei Di is too familiar with the desperate style of play, but for these recruits in Daliang, it is undoubtedly leading them around the gate of hell.

Fan Chengshan is the younger brother of the imperial concubine, and his two nephews are princes who are favored by the emperor. He does not discuss anything with the people under him, and puts on a full-fledged attitude of talking on paper.

Defeat is inevitable.

Daliang failed miserably.

More than half of the cavalry were killed or wounded.

If Xiao Jiuqin hadn't led people deep into the enemy's camp and directly burned the opponent's food and grass, the loss in this battle would have been more than that.

After returning to the camp, Fan Chengshan actually bit back and pushed all the blame on Xiao Jiuqin.But it was his move that completely angered the people below.

Someone sent the papers of impeachment to Miyagi overnight.

Fortunately, the emperor was not as stupid as he is now. He knew that Xiao Jiuqin had the talent to lead troops in battle, and every time he sent troops in treacherous ways, the Beidi barbarians were [-]% afraid of him.

Fan Chengshan was recalled in the end, the noble concubine pleaded for mercy, and the grand master defended him vigorously, so he was only demoted by three ranks in the end, and within two years, he actually earned a son, Xianghou, and left Yingdu.

It was also in that battle that Xiao Jiuqin saw the insidiousness of Beidi for the first time. After that, he directly contacted the Military Weapons Supervisor, and in less than three years, he carried out a certain amount of new manufacturing of Daliang's hidden weapons.

It's just that the blood tribulus gradually lost its effectiveness in the next two years, but I didn't expect to see it again now.

Xiao Jiuqin thought a little more than Bai Yan did, "Since the blood thorns appeared here, I'm afraid it's not just to harm you on the surface. In order to kill you, it's unreasonable for the blood thorns to appear on the border of Daliang."

The other party hated Bai Yan so much, he wouldn't take such a risk to take out the blood tribulus.

"But there are not many people who know this thing, and the other party disassembled it. If you didn't come over by chance, I'm afraid... no one would have discovered it."

Bai Yan never deviated from this question. He didn't consider his own safety at all, and he was sober that he was not a normal person.

Yan Ruli thought: there are no people in this world who don't care about their own life and death at all. When most people are assassinated, the first thing they think about is how to find out the people behind them, and then prevent them from being designed again next time.

But Bai Yan obviously didn't consider these things.

"If you say," Yan Ruli opened his mouth, unexpectedly Bai Yan and the others looked over, he suddenly became dumb, he didn't know whether to say it or not.

It's like a young scholar showing off his literary talents in front of several champions, and the feeling of playing tricks is nothing more than this.

"Tell me." Bai Yan gave him an encouraging look.

"That is to say, if...someone colludes with the barbarians of Beidi and has evil intentions..." He saw Xiao Jiuqin's face completely darkened, and immediately regretted why he didn't follow He Zhaoyuan when He Zhaoyuan left. Scared like a quail here.

Yan Ruli is not as specific as Bai Yan and the others, which makes them dare not speculate wildly. After all, as long as every word is spoken, there must be corresponding evidence.

But in this way, it limits their thinking.

Previously, Bai Yan wondered if someone was secretly colluding with Beidi's hidden weapons dealer, but compared to this, although Yan Ruli's speculation is easy to stir up scandalous secrets, it is more logical.

Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin looked at each other, and both of them knew the truth.

Suichong was even more worried than them, and his mind was in a mess for a while. He was the Minister of Dali Temple. When he encountered such a secret, the pressure suddenly poured over like a mountain and an ocean.

"This matter is often a shocking news about Daliang and Beidi, and now it must be reported to the emperor."

"No." Bai Yan stopped Suichong.

"Lord Bai?" Suichong dared not take on such a major event. If someone really colluded with the Beidi barbarians, no matter who they were, it would not be a trivial matter. He might only be involved in it, and in the end...

Bai Yan was calmer than Sui Chong, "Master Sui, this matter is just a guess, you and I don't have the slightest evidence, just relying on a groom who hasn't confessed and a dismantled blood caltrop, who would believe it?"

He was well versed in the twists and turns, and added after speaking, "And your Majesty's body recently... As you know, this time is definitely not a good time. Once this matter is reported to Your Majesty, it will be known to everyone within half a day. At that time, if you still want to investigate, it will be difficult if you start to scare the snake and attract the vigilance of the other party."

"What does Lord Bai mean?" It has to be said that Bai Yan's worry is not unreasonable, and Suichong is also shaken at this moment.

"Let's check it ourselves." Bai Yan made a final decision.

Sui Chong was taken aback, "Check it yourself?"

"Yes, Mr. He has already followed out just now. If my prediction is correct, he should be able to bring back some news. On the other side, the groom, sir must send someone to watch over it, and nothing will happen. There is too little evidence now. That blood thorn It can only be an introduction, so we must pry the groom's mouth open."

After Bai Yan finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing that needs to be troubled, Lord Sui."

"Master Bai, just open your mouth." Suichong and Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin have become grasshoppers on the same line at this moment, he can't avoid this matter, so he can only cooperate with the two of them.

"I had an accident today, and I'm sure there will be many people who will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Now, I only have a disagreement with Master Hou, and you, please help me cover up one or two things... Master Hou did not show up in time today. Only me and Jin Wuwei."

Bai Yan was cautious in doing things. He was acting with Xiao Jiuqin at that time, and he might be able to deal with Xing Yue at the beginning, but after he thought about it later, he would definitely find something wrong.

"Are you afraid of implicating me?" Xiao Jiuqin's expression changed upon hearing this.

Yan Ruli and Suichong were not in the game, so they couldn't understand what Bai Yan meant, but Xiao Jiuqin understood his meaning completely. Bai Yan wanted to take care of everything, and he wanted Suichong to cover it up. He is just Xiao Jiuqin.

Facing Xiao Jiuqin's questioning eyes, Bai Yan obviously dodged, "No, I only care about my own safety."

"Then you can take advantage of our disagreement to directly attract everyone's attention to me. Even if most people don't believe it, you can help you avoid some doubts. Things that are completely beneficial to you, why do you have to?" Leave me alone."

Bai Yan was unable to refute for a moment.

Xiao Jiuqin was right, he just wanted to pick Xiao Jiuqin out.

But it's good for everyone to know this well. Why does Xiao Jiuqin point it out so that he can't do anything? Bai Yan was impatient and kicked his calf directly. Xiao Jiuqin didn't even move, Bai Yan Yan was immediately discouraged, "Are you annoying?"

"Bai Yan, the calculations you made can only coax others." Xiao Jiuqin dragged Bai Yan out regardless of Suichong and Yan Ruli were still there.

Yan Ruli subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped by Sui Chong, "Don't let outsiders get involved in the affairs of the two of them."

"Xiao Jiuqin, what's wrong with you?!" Bai Yan was almost dragged out by Xiao Jiuqin. Wherever he went, everyone who passed by was scared away by Xiao Jiuqin's sullen look.

However, Bai Yan was not afraid of death and struggled, but in the next moment, he was directly carried by Xiao Jiuqin on his shoulders.

Bai Yan: "..." Sure enough, he was out of his mind to do such a disgraceful thing.

Being carried on his shoulders, Bai Yan felt uncomfortable. He pinched Xiao Jiuqin's earlobe, but the guy didn't even respond. He took a few steps to a place where there was no one and put him down directly. go up.

Master Bai was terrified.

Behind the pillars, no one passed by in the hallway, only the sound of the wind, and... Xiao Jiuqin's heavy breathing.

"You...why do you look at me like that..." Xiao Jiuqin remained silent. Bai Yan couldn't hold on after holding back for a long time. He was always harmful to others, but Xiao Jiuqin was so helpless to him.

"Don't talk? Can you move back?" The two of them were breathing intertwined. If others saw this situation, they would definitely misunderstand whether they were doing something shameless or not, but this seemed charming. Behind him, Master Bai panicked.

"Afraid of me?" Xiao Jiuqin finally opened his mouth, but he didn't know if it was Bai Yan's illusion, he always felt that Xiao Jiuqin was very dangerous at this moment, as if he was about to bite off his skin the next moment.

Bai Yan didn't mean it, "I'm not afraid of you." To be afraid is to be cowardly, have you seen the time when I was cowardly?

Even those eyelashes trembled and trembled, like two small brushes scratching Xiao Jiuqin's heart, but Bai Yan denied such an obvious reaction.

Xiao Jiuqin thought: Then don't blame me...

Amidst Bai Yan's sudden change of expression, Xiao Jiuqin leaned closer, his cool lips pressed against Bai Yan's tightly pressed lips, and invaded bit by bit.
