: "That's right, Haril has calculated everything, and he didn't count in the Luzhou Army. He died in Wuchang, and Beiyan was also defeated so far. Probably this is God's will."

The Lichun Terrace in the childhood was completely silent.

Da Yan has been away for more than half an hour, Pu Chen still has no intention of leaving, he is sitting in a shadow, his eyes are looking at the direction of the void, like a stone statue.Wen Tao didn't bother him, he sat on the high platform of Lichun Terrace, leaning against the pillar, the vermilion paint on it was already mottled.After more than a hundred years, no one will know that this Lichun Terrace was once so exquisite, and no one will know that this high platform was built by a king for her beloved woman, just like, after more than a hundred years, When people talk about the Battle of Wuchang, no one will probably know the dense conspiracy behind it.But what will it be like a hundred years from now?Will it still be like now, with many aristocratic families, weak monarchs, busy with suspicion and fighting for power, or will they have a new world, in that new world, every person with lofty ideals and talents can be open and bright Carry out what you want and what you think in your heart?

Wen Tao turned his gaze back to Pu Chen in the darkness. If such a world really existed, it must have been created by someone like Pu Chen, or someone like Dai Wang.If there is such a day, let alone lose one hand, even if you die thousands of times, what is it?When I was in Guangling Academy back then, what I learned and what I wanted was not a clear world?Now that the world has the opportunity to unfold in front of him, how lucky he is.

Wen Tao jumped down from the high platform lightly, and walked in front of Pu Chen with a breeze and the fragrance of mid-spring flowers.He silently raised Pu Chen, held his hand, and said softly: "A Pu, the road is long, we should go."

66, 66.

Half a month later, the Nanjing Mission and Beiyan signed a contract, also known as the Luoyang Alliance.Beiyan returned the five Jiangbei prefectures that originally belonged to the Jing Dynasty to Nanjing, and Beiyan took Yanmen Pass as the boundary and returned to Youzhou.At the same time, the two countries set up mutual markets in Jixian and Xindu on the border to trade grain and cloth with Beiyan at a par price.Prime Minister Xie Kun of Nanjing signed an alliance with King Zuoxian of Beiyan in person. Beiyan will gradually withdraw its soldiers and horses from the five states in Jiangbei within three months after the signing of the agreement, and return to the old capital of Youzhou.

When the Luoyang Palace was full of joy, the death of Zhou Yu, the original Nanjing envoy on behalf of Wang Zhouyu, was extremely insignificant.The incident involving the assassination of Wulu Da Shanyu by Dai Wang, King Zuo Xian and a group of Beiyan nobles insisted that the Dai Wang must pay off with his life, not only with his life, but also by the Beiyan people's fire.Just when Xie Kun was at a loss, Dai Wang happened to die of illness in prison.Xie Kun was still skeptical at first, but later it was said that one of Dai Wang's personal guards personally begged to see Xie Kun late at night, and confessed that he did not want to see Dai Wang suffer from the torture of fire, so he secretly found out where Dai Wang was being held, tricked him into taking poison, and The face of the whole south view.After the man finished speaking, he apologized with death. Xie Kun was amazed for a long time when he heard the words. After examining Dai Wang's body, he ordered someone to bury him in the nearby Luoyang Imperial Mausoleum. He only claimed that Dai Wang died of severe typhoid fever.

No one knows that the "corpse" examined by Xie Kun slowly woke up in a carriage heading for Wuchang a few hours later, and what is contained in the coffin of the Dai Wang is another dead body that has been prepared long ago .

It was early summer at this time, and after leaving Luoyang City, it was the official road.There are big trees on both sides of the official road, and the sunlight leaks through the gaps in the leaves.Wen Tao felt a little stuffy, opened a corner of the curtain, and the light spots through the leaves fell on Zhou Yu's eyelids. His eyelashes were very long, fluttered a bit, and finally opened his eyes.After being imprisoned in the Luoyang dungeon for more than a month, Zhou Yu's face was pale and his face lost a lot of weight. He opened his eyes and saw two familiar faces in bodyguard attire.

"Brother Yi Xing, Brother Wen Tao." Zhou Yu's voice was a little hoarse.Wen Tao quickly took the water bag and handed it to him.Zhou Yu drank a few sips, and his swollen brain finally gradually regained clarity.Since the last time Puchen visited the dungeon at night, Zhou Yu had never seen anyone from Nanjing, so that he himself did not know under what circumstances he was drugged and lost consciousness.

Zhou Yu looked around and said with difficulty: "Where is this?"

"You just woke up, take a good rest first." Pu Chen said.

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Brother Yi Xing, if you don't tell me the truth, I won't be at ease."

Pu Chen said solemnly: "This matter is urgent, and I made a decision without a chance to discuss it with Brother Junwei. I hope Brother Junwei will understand."

Zhou Yu paused when he heard this, and then grinned at the corners of his mouth, as if mocking himself: "Ever since I learned that Prime Minister Xie came to mediate, I knew it was a dead end. If brother Huang wants to have peace talks with Beiyan, I will send Prime Minister Xie to come from the beginning That's enough, why push me out. Now that I was pushed out, and something I couldn't explain, it was to use Beiyan's hand to kill me. I can get out of Luoyang alive now, it must be Brother Yixing and Wen Brother Tao has expended a lot of effort, and I can't repay you, so how can I blame you for making arbitrarily determined decisions?"

Pu Chen sighed lightly, and carefully told the truth one by one. At the end, Zhou Yu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Brother Huang actually colluded with Beiyan to do such a traitorous thing!"

Pu Chen sneered: "You and I have long been a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh. This time he thought he got rid of you, and next time it will be me."

Zhou Yu thought for a moment, stared at Pu Chen and said, "What are your plans?"

Pu Chen said bluntly: "I don't intend to hide it from you. Zhou Yan is a man with a deep scheming heart. He secretly informs foreign enemies and harms his brothers and feet. He is not worthy of being a king. If Brother Junwei did not risk his life to support the Battle of Wuchang, Wen Tao and I might have died a long time ago." There is no burial place for death. And this time, if we hadn't discovered the identity of Da Yan in time, I am afraid that this matter would not end well."

"Brother Yi Xing is very talented and powerful, and he has 10,000+ heavy soldiers in his hands. It will not be difficult to replace him with a little preparation." Zhou Yu's expression remained the same.

Wen Tao looked at Zhou Yu's expression, sweating silently in his heart.He trusted Zhou Yu, and even more trusted Pu Chen. No matter who replaced Zhou Yan, it would be a good choice for the two of them.However, that seat can only accommodate one person after all, and for the other, no matter what you say at this moment, there is no guarantee that it will not cast a trace of doubt in the other person's heart.And this trace of doubt, will it become a life-threatening talisman when that person ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Venerable in the future?

Wen Tao glanced at Pu Chen with some concern, but Pu Chen said without fear: "Dai Wang, I have no intention of doing this. The surname of this country should be Zhou." Zhou Yudao: "The minister is willing to assist the Dai Wang and provide the Dai Wang with advice."

Zhou Yu was startled, he and Pu Chen were really on the same page, but he didn't expect that at the moment he had nothing, and when Pu Chen had 10,000+ soldiers in his hand, he would still give his all to help him.His heart warmed up, and the scene of the two of them hand in hand to defeat Beiyan was vivid in his mind, and the spirit that had been suppressed for a long time burst out in his heart: "We make this oath today, the king is unrighteous, and we are willing to use our bodies as swords to kill Cleanse away all evil spirits, cleanse the chaotic world, restore the southern scenery, and restore the world to a peaceful and prosperous world!"

Zhou Yu stretched out his right hand and said: "The ancients swore blood to form an alliance. Brother Yi Xing and I don't have to be so pedantic, so we clap our hands and make an oath."

Pu Chen looked resolute: "Okay, high five as an oath."

In the narrow carriage, the clear high-fives of the two were like a thunderbolt, like a ray of light shining in the dark and chaotic world.

The covenant was established, and blood gushed out in the hearts of several people. After sweeping away the slightly reserved atmosphere just now, Pu Chen and Wen Tao also added a lot of parts that were not detailed just now, mentioning the death of the personal guard who died for Zhou Yu. At that time, Zhou Yu moved and said: "So, in order to save me, one of my personal guards was sacrificed. When I can see the sun again, I will take care of this little family."

Pu Chen explained: "Your feigning death is not easy to do. A slight mistake will arouse Xie Kun's suspicion. Beiyan people have no reason to kill you in prison. You have searched yourself before going to prison. It is impossible to bring Poison. We can only design the illusion that your own bodyguards poison you to prevent you from being burned at the stake, but in this way, someone must die for you."

"Who is this person?" Zhou Yu asked.

"This matter was handled by Minister Qi." Wen Tao said, "We are not familiar with brother Jun Wei's personal guards, and we are able to hide it from Prime Minister Xie's eyeliner, all thanks to Minister Qi."

"Brother Sijun?" Zhou Yu was taken aback, "He also participated in this matter?"

Wen Tao said: "If brother Sijun hadn't come all the way to Wuchang to find us, we wouldn't have known such a big event happened in Luoyang."

"It's him?" Zhou Yu's eyes were in a trance, "I thought Pu's personal guards went to Wuchang to notify you."

"Qi Shilang came to Wuchang with my personal guards, and he forced me to let Wen Tao go to Luoyang to rescue Brother Junwei." Pu Chen smiled and shook his head, "His indifference looks, I am really the first See you once."

Zhou Yu's eyelids drooped, remembering the first time he saw Qi Dai who was like a banished fairy at the meeting; he remembered the night before the New Year's banquet when he stood guard on his way back home, implying that Zhou Yan intended to let him He was sent to Beiyan as an envoy; remembering that before he was sent to Beiyan, he came here with a smile on his face, and listed more than a dozen reasons to explain that he should also be in the envoy.The Qi Dai he knew had always been Qingfengjiyue, talking and laughing at Yanyan.Would Qi Dai like this go to Wuchang for himself, begging Pu Chen and Wen Tao to help him?There was an inexplicable look in Zhou Yu's eyes.

Seeing this, Pu Chen thought that Zhou Yu had lost his status as a prince and could only keep his name incognito. He was inevitably depressed, so he patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Jun Wei, you don't have to worry about it. Back then, son Chong Er was in exile for decades. Duke Huai of Jin died, accomplished great things, and eventually became one of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period. You follow us back to Wuchang first, Jiankang's eyeliner will not reach Wuchang, and when the time is right, we will..."

Zhou Yu stretched out
