I really didn't take the emperor of the enemy country as a stand-in

After waking up, Zhong Lan yelled that his hands and feet were sore, and pretended to wait for Wen Yao to carry him to the hot spring garden to take a dip in the mandarin duck bath.

The most pleasant thing in winter is to soak in hot springs.

Before the seventh day of the lunar new year, the ministers were all enjoying the family reunion, and no one came to disturb them.The hot spring garden is separated by a screen, and a quiet world where no one is disturbed is exposed between the sky and the earth. The hot air rises and slowly escapes from the upper edge of the screen. The white mist is lingering, like a fairyland.

Wen Yao's long hair was tied behind his head, and the corners of his eyes hung down slightly, as he carefully massaged Zhong Lan's "almost broken" shoulder.

"Wen Yao, please be serious." Zhong Lan leaned on the rocks on the bank, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty won't believe it."

Zhong Lang was puzzled: "Yesterday you said that I have someone else in my heart, so you feel uncomfortable?"

Wen Yao stopped massaging his hands, and raised his head to look back at Zhong Lan: "Yes."

"Why do you think so? I really don't."

Wen Yao lowered his head, stared at Zhong Lan's flushed shoulder seriously, pushed and held it carefully, and hummed perfunctorily.

Zhong Lang could tell from his attitude: "You don't believe me?"

"Your Majesty," Wen Yao raised his eyes, gentle but reserved, "I only believe what I see. If you want me to believe it, can you tell me why when you looked at my face in Luochenzhai back then, you didn't even You didn't even resist when you were kidnapped, but you tried your best to keep me by your side?"

"That, that's because..." Zhong Lan got stuck.He couldn't say that he was just looking for a meal ticket back then.

Regardless of Wen Yao's possible questioning, how did he know the future overlord of the world; Wen Yao may misunderstand him even more, thinking that Zhong Lang still has no feelings for him at this time.Even Zhong Lang felt a little guilty when he thought back to himself, and he didn't dare to bring up this easily misunderstood past.

So he replied: "I said before that I am optimistic about you and think you can dominate the world."

"Your Majesty, when I was young, I was easy to fool." Wen Yao laughed in his ear, "Just met once, do you think I believe it?"

Zhong Lan: "..."

He squinted at Wen Yao.

The beautiful face was calm and unwavering, but there was a slight mist at the end of the eyes. Although Zhong Lan knew that it was probably caused by the hot spring, he still couldn't help feeling a little pity in his heart.

Wen Yao conscientiously dried his hair for him, carefully and gently: "Your Majesty, I have to go, I still have military affairs to deal with."

The year is almost over.

Before the Lantern Festival arrived, a thunderstorm exploded across the border.

"Your Majesty, it's not good! The army of Yan State has clashed with our country, and the border has broken out!"

Zhong Lang was about to bid farewell to Wen Yao, when both of them became serious when they heard the words.

"At this point in time, how could the country of Yan launch a war?"

The case of the firearm robbers has not yet been resolved, and their actions are all in Nanxin. In order to catch these people, Yan Guo must cooperate with Nanxin.Never attack rashly.

The Minister of the Ministry of War reported: "I'm afraid this is not what Lord Yan meant. Beiyun City is adjacent to the fifth county of Yan State, and the fifth county is the fiefdom of Duke An of Yan State. The two cities originally had trade exchanges. The Duke’s caravan passed through Beiyun City, but lost his things. There was a conflict between An Guogong and the Lord of Beiyun City during the negotiations, knives and weapons were used in the negotiation venue, and a revenge attack occurred that night.”

"This An Guogong is so arrogant? Why don't you ask Yan Guojun?" Zhong Lang asked.

"This An Guogong is also a tactical prodigy. He specializes in assaulting rough terrain. He is the only talent in the Yan Kingdom. He is proud of his talents, and it is not once or twice. It is estimated that Yan Guojun will soon stop him when he gets the news. .However, before Lord Yan stops him, Beiyun City may not be able to resist his anger."

Beiyun City is a very small city, a commercial outlet far away from other cities.There was an entire army stationed around, but contact was lost at this time.

"This An Guogong doesn't care about his anger, and he doesn't know whether the border guards are capable of resisting." The Minister of War said, "The reinforcements have already started, and I hope Beiyun City can survive this period."

Because of the incident in Beiyun City, Wen Yao's departure time was postponed.Everyone gathered around the military plane, waiting for news from the north.

Zhong Lang stared at the sand table and frowned: "Let the garrison of Xuecheng go around from the east to investigate the situation around Beiyun City. If possible, cooperate with Beiyun to outflank. Then let the carrier pigeons send messages."

"Yes!"

"Report-"

In the burning hall, everyone turned their heads to look at the door.The soldier who delivered the order was out of breath, and hurried in, knelt in the center, extremely excited: "Your Majesty! The Yan Kingdom has retreated! Beiyun City has won!"

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief and bowed their hands to each other in great relief.

Zhong Lang asked: "How did you win?"

"The garrison in Beiyun City is only half of An Guogong's army, but there are several commercial firms in Nanxin, large and small, living in the city." The soldier was extremely excited. The mercenaries from the city and the warriors from various commercial firms and bodyguard teams formed a militia, which was dispatched by the generals of Beiyun City. There were many civilian crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and they all worked together and fought hard to block several attacks , Wait until the Yan Kingdom retreats!"

The ministers nodded one after another.

"This firm's contribution is the only one."

"Businessmen have no borders, and they have always been mercenary. Changing dynasties will not stop them from making money. This time is really strange."

Minister of the Ministry of Officials stroked his beard and looked sober: "Businessmen are not stupid people. Only when they are stable and stable can they keep their money flowing. In today's world, if they are not the people of Nanxin, they can still live and make money in such a stable way. ?"

All the ministers seemed to have a tacit understanding, and turned around almost at the same time.Facing the bell, they sighed in admiration: "Your Majesty is wise——"

Zhong Lan: "..."

Yan Guojun quickly sent someone to send compensation, saying that he would definitely punish An Guogong.But Zhong Lan also knew that An Guogong had skills by his side, and Yan Guojun was only superficially harmonious and talking about it.

The Lantern Festival will be held as usual.

Wen Yaoxuan set off to the front line on the night of the Lantern Festival to continue the investigation.Zhong Lang said that he wanted to send him out of Beijing, so he changed into his private clothes, and quietly sat in the carriage to accompany him through the dazzling night market of lantern festivals.

"I heard that there was another fight in the north a few days ago. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm."

"But this time, thanks to His Majesty, we in Nanxin can still live like this, thanks to His Majesty's consideration of fate. Because of this, the merchants cherish Nanxin very much and actively resist the Yan Kingdom."

"I thought that the Lantern Festival would not be over, but luckily."

"There is probably no one in the world who doesn't want their monarch to be our Majesty, right?"

……

Wen Yao was riding a horse, wearing a long black cloak over a red coat.

"Your Majesty is what the people want."

Zhong Lan lifted the curtain of the carriage: "It's not like you don't know, I don't have great ambitions."

"Loved by all people, isn't that good?"

Zhong Lan squinted his eyes, scanned the colorful lanterns on the street, and smiled wryly: "I don't want to be loved."

"Oh?"

Zhong Lan narrowed his eyes, as if he was recalling: "The days when everyone thought I was a fool, were the days with the least stress."

During those days... In addition to the fact that everyone in the world knew that he was an incompetent king, there was another person who obediently stayed by his side.

He really doesn't pressure you.

Wen Yao's hand holding the rein tightened even more.Clamping his legs, the horse began to trot.
