fluttering night wind

It was the tenth day after Bai Yansheng left Yongjing.

In the evening, Zhou Guogong Pei Lie went to the palace immediately after receiving the urgent report from the military department.Compared with ten years ago, this palace has changed its appearance.The decorations such as colored lanterns and ribbons that had not been put away during the New Year's Eve were torn off in a hurry, and some were discarded on the mud floor, under the shade of trees, and at corners before they could be put away.

He came to Yanzuo Palace in a hurry, but heard that the new emperor had gone to serve the decoction in the Empress Dowager's Palace.When he arrived at Fengyi Palace, it was completely dark and the queen mother had already rested, so the palace guard took him directly to the Fengchi outside the bedroom.

He walked along the white jade steps of the small stone bridge, and on the steps were scattered pieces of discarded clothing: court clothes, court crowns, shoes, and finally a square jade belt.He bent down to pick up the nine jade belts, and saw eight white jade jade belts with dragon patterns in a rectangular shape.Only the front one was a round blue grain-patterned bi, and he took a closer look, and there were two seal characters "Changle" engraved on it.

This jade belt is Bai Yansheng's personal belonging, and he often wears it around his waist.Bai Yukuo's hands were warm and cool, seeing things and thinking about others, Pei Lie clenched his palms tightly, suppressing all kinds of thoughts, and stepped into the gazebo on the bridge.A 15-year-old boy was nestled beside the railing by the water, wearing only a white jacket, with loose hair and bare feet.Pei Lie knelt down to pay his respects, raised the jade belt above his head with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty's jade belt is gone."

Jianping Emperor Bai Qiongyu looked back at him, with a blush on his cheeks, and said in a hoarse voice: "I gave it to you." Pei Lie was startled, and leaned down and said: "Only the son of heaven can match the jade belt. I thank your majesty for your kindness, and I dare not overstep it." .”

Bai Qiongyu leaned on the railing, resting her chest with one hand, the whiteness of her wrist was exactly the same as the jade railing.His cool eyes swept over Pei Lie's head, and he said lazily, "You can't violate the gift from the king." Pei Lie lowered his body again, and said loudly: "The divine weapon is the most important, and the load should not be inhumane. Please take it back, Your Majesty." The jade belt." Bai Qiongyu looked at him with a half-smile, and after a while she got up and walked in front of him, and took the jade belt away.Pei Lie looked down at him walking back and forth on the ground barefoot, and said: "The spring is cold, why does your majesty only wear these clothes? You should take care of the dragon's body." Bai Qiongyu took back the jade belt, played with it in her hand, and said, "Get up and talk .I have just taken Wushi powder to disperse the medicinal energy."

At such a young age, he actually used five stone powder. I don't know which bastard eunuch in the palace was enshrined. When he is found out, he must be killed.Pei Lie frowned and got up, standing aside with his hands tied.Under the moonlight, the young man's fingers slid across the nine jade locks again and again, with a mysterious smile on his face.Pei Lie couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty won't take it?" Bai Qiongyu raised her wrist and said, "It's too cold!"

Jade is extremely important, but only the person who wears it will know the coldness of the body.Empty and moonlit night, boundless and independent, surrounded by white jade and cold all over the world.He suddenly understood why the young man took Wushisan, it was all because of the emptiness and coldness deep in the palace that could not be dispelled.

Bai Qiongyu's face is [-]-[-]% similar to that of Bai Yansheng, but the old emperor has been in the army all year round, and he is full of heroism, but this son was born in the deep palace and grew up in the hands of a woman. His brows are soft and charming, and his eyes are like stars in the sky, cold and ruthless. Wave.He only heard him say calmly: "You entered the palace late at night, there must be something important to report." Pei Lie then submitted the urgent report from the Ministry of War that had been in his sleeves for a long time. , but Bai Yanfeng, the king of Qi in Ganyang, and Yu Desheng, the general of Zhengxi in Liangzhou, remained silent for a long time.Bai Qiongyu glanced a few times, then said coldly: "I know."

Pei Lie asked: "What's your majesty's plan?" Bai Qiongyu glanced at him, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "You are the assistant minister left to me by the late emperor, and I will not hide it from you. I will issue a secret edict to King Qi to let you He doesn't need to go back to Yongjing, he will bring filial piety on the spot, and I will monitor Yu Desheng. If Yu Desheng dares to rebel, let the king of Qi attack him. Zhou Guogong can concentrate on Xichuan affairs."

The night was as cold as water, and Pei Lie was also terrified in his heart.The emperor's words implied suspicion.And Bai Yanfeng and Yu Desheng both have more than 15 troops, and they use one poison to make another poison. If they don't do it well, they may be backlashed. It's hard to imagine that such a trick came from the hands of a [-]-year-old boy.

Bai Qiongyu was also a little tired at this time, just in time a palace guard ran over to the bridge and said that the Queen Mother had woken up.He stood up, wrapped the jade belt around the outside of his coat, shook his sleeves and left.From the beginning to the end, he never asked Pei Lie what happened in Yanbo Temple that night, and why the sound of white geese disappeared.Looking at his thin back, Pei Lie felt extremely sad when he thought of the shudder he felt when he buckled the jade belt just now.

How can this great country be ups and downs without anyone in charge?The loneliness above ten thousand people has since fallen on his shoulders alone.

On the evening of the tenth day after Crown Prince Meng Ting ascended the throne, Grand Master Shen Dongyang and General Shen Junli received a secret report from Jiangdong.After the two discussed, they split up. Shen Dongyang forced the emperor to write a secret edict in Hanzhang Hall, and Shen Junli immediately rushed to Chengqian Hall in the East Palace.

The sun has fallen to the west, with cool wind and rain.In Chengqian Hall, Empress Bai Xiliu was gazing at something under the window.Shen Junli originally carried a food box, but when he saw the maid in front of the hall, he handed the food box to her and ordered her to accompany the attendant into the hall.

The thin white willows are embroidered with golden threads, and the ribbons are hanging on the ground. It is not surprising to see him barging in big.Shen Junli sneered and said: "Your Highness is still interested in seeing the scenery." Bai Xiliu glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "The country of Shu is cloudy and rainy, and there are sentimental flowers to explain the language. Naturally, the beautiful scenery is not enough." Shen Junli grinned gleefully and said: " Although Jincheng is happy, it's better to return home early. The minister is here to send His Highness back to his hometown."

He made a pun, Bai Xiliu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood.There was no fear and despair on her face, but she lightly brushed the raindrops on her shoulders, and said: "The palace in Jiangdu, the Qinghuai moon is shining, and the scenery at this time is just right."

If it wasn't for the emperor's mandate, Shen Junli would really applaud her calm performance in the face of chaos.He pulled out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve and threw it on the ground.Bai Xiliu supported her belly with one hand, and slowly bent down to pick it up, seeing that the handwriting on the yellow silk was distorted and scribbled, and the person who wrote it appeared in shock before her eyes.Only the jade seal affixed at the end is clear and powerful, as if it wants to leave a deep imprint on the fate of others.

There is a guqin hanging on the wall, and the wind touches the qin, plucking her heartstrings.The half-bed of moonlight on the winter solstice last year has been slowly flowing to this day.Temporarily soft-hearted, regret and unite.

Shen Junli saw her staring at the imperial decree and groaned silently, thinking she was lucky, he mocked: "Your Highness suspects that this is a false edict? Your Majesty is still in Hanzhang Hall at this time, so you can send someone to ask." Bai Xiliu said that Huangbo rolled up, and smiled indifferently: "If you ask, you must ask. As I said earlier, women have the three principles of obedience, and there is no way to specialize. If your majesty wants me to die, I will die, and if I want me to live, I will live. Your Majesty's will."

Shen Junli squinted her eyes, a little bit disbelieving her ears, could it be that this time she still wanted to repeat the same old tricks to escape death?Forget it, let you die with peace of mind.He then let Bai Xiliu call out a maidservant from the East Palace to meet His Majesty in the Hanzhang Hall.The two halls were far apart, Shen Junli was afraid that she would take the opportunity to escape, so he watched her without blinking.

When death was approaching, Bai Xiliu behaved calmly, Shi Shiran took a seat in the hall, took out a board of chess pieces, and started to play slowly.Asked below: "The general came in a hurry, could it be that Jiangdong has something to do?" Shen Junli was in a good mood today, so he couldn't help but say a few more words: "There is indeed something important in Jiangdong. Your Highness probably didn't know it. Ten days ago, Cheng Chao The throne has changed hands. Bai Yansheng is dead, and his son ascended the throne, changing Yuan Jianping."

A glazed chess piece fell on the board, upon hearing this, Bai Xiliu had a strange expression rather than sadness. "Ten days ago?" "That's right, it was the third night after His Majesty ascended the throne. He must have been afraid of my emperor's prestige, and was so frightened that he couldn't afford to get sick, so he died suddenly in just three days. It's God's will in the dark." The sound of the white geese coming out of the dung, rising above the clouds and clouds, so proud, how long will it last?"

God willing?The corners of Baixiliu's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sneer.She laid out the chess pieces one by one, and said softly: "Father has passed away, you have no more fear, are you ready to attack Jiangdong next?" Shen Junli said: "The navy is gathering, but it's a pity that His Highness can't see the attack on Yongjing. It's a moment."

Bai Xiliu tapped the chessboard lightly, and said: "I advise the general not to send troops. There are [-] troops at Chaisangkou on standby, and there are mines ambush the channel down the river. The stormy sea is very dangerous."

Shen Junli pouted, not taking her threat warning seriously.At this time, the sky outside was completely dark, the wind was blowing and the rain was blowing, Bai Xiliu played chess with his left hand and his right hand, knocking on the chess pieces to drop the lights.Shen Junli watched coldly, wanting to see how long she could stay calm.Bai Xiliu suddenly asked: "I have always had a question, I want to ask the general." "What do you want to ask?"

Bai Xiliu stopped the chess pieces in his hand, looked at him and said, "The Supreme Emperor is different from my father, Xichuan and Jiangdong have a very different structure. There are many immigrants in Jiangdong, father is ruled by iron and blood, Xichuan has many families, the Supreme Emperor has long sleeves and is good at dancing, using water to grind soft kung fu. Why did the general want to force the palace and destroy the delicate balance between the clans?"

Shen Junli sneered and said: "Your Majesty has always been tolerant and tolerant of Jiangdong, and failed the great national policy of the late king. If things go on like this, when will Jiangdong be recovered and the world be unified? For the sake of the community, I can only ask Your Majesty to abdicate and let the virtuous."

A sunspot in Baixiliu was hanging in the air before it fell, suddenly smiled slightly and said: "Is it really for the country? Or for selfish desires? Isn't the general's madness caused by the long-term yearning for His Majesty that cannot be calmed down?"

With a sound of "crash", Shen Junli overturned the chessboard, drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed at the tip of her nose and said sharply: "Why haven't the people who went to Hanzhang Palace come back yet? What the hell are you doing?" Bai Xiliu spread her hands flat and shrugged. shrugged.Shen Junxiang recalled that he had ordered the guards of the Habayashi to go with the maidservant, so he loudly asked the guards outside and asked them to go to Hanzhang Hall.

After finishing the order, he used his sword to open the food box on the ground, and there was a bottle of poisonous wine and a stack of white silk in the box.Shen Junli smiled grimly and said: "Your Highness, in order to prevent the night from having many dreams, you should go on the road early." Bai Xiliu shook her head regretfully and said, "The general is too impatient..." Before she finished speaking, there were suddenly hurried footsteps outside, and there was a habayashi Wei rushed in in a panic and said loudly: "General, I saw my brother's body not far outside the hall. That maidservant fled with a sharp knife for a long time, do you want to go to Hanzhang Hall to escort her?"

A black pawn landed at his feet.Shen Junli took a deep breath, his face was as cold as ice, and he said in a gloomy manner: "What kind of tricks are you playing? Where did you go? The Hanzhang Palace is heavily guarded..." He stopped abruptly here.

Bai Xiliu then got up to straighten her robes, and continued for him, "Hanzhang Palace is heavily guarded, she cast herself into a trap, and she can't come back to Chengqian Palace, Longtan and Tiger's Lair. What do you think?" Under the control of Shen Dongyang, he was placed outside Hanzhang Hall and the emperor was placed under house arrest.The other half was carried by Shen Junli to Chengqian Hall, preparing to kill Bai Xiliu on the spot if he dared to resist.

"Tai Chi Hall!" Shen Junli cried out.He no longer cared about Bai Xiliu's life and death, turned around and strode out of the hall.

The moon was setting and the stars were fading away. From the night sky of Chengqian Hall, Shen Junli could only see the black eaves of Taiji Hall.It was too late for him to lead a large group of people on the chariot road, so he raised his lightness kung fu, jumped onto the roof, and headed for Tai Chi Hall.Not far from the hall, there was a faint smell of blood. There were several corpses lying on the ground in twos and threes. He hurriedly inspected them, and they all sealed their throats with a sword.At this time, he still couldn't judge how many people came in, so he followed the traces of blood into the side hall.There were corpses lying on the steps outside the hall.A young man in white stood on the highest step with a sword in hand, the tip of the sword was still dripping with blood.Shen Junli drew his sword in his hand, raised his head and said loudly: "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

The young man was about to open his mouth, when suddenly a deep voice came from the depths of the ancient hall: "Qing Shang, let him in." It was not less than a hundred steps from the inside of the hall to the place where the two faced each other, but the voice was neither hasty nor impatient, Full of air, as if exhorting face to face.The person who spoke was probably a middle-aged man with unfathomable martial arts.

The young man turned sideways, put the sword behind his back, and signaled him to enter the hall.Shen Junli's heart was pounding, he didn't care about other things, and rushed into the side hall with his head depressed.The painting curtain has been rolled up, and the fragrance is cold and rainy.A man walked proudly through the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, walked to the bed where Meng Ziying was imprisoned, and bent down to look around.He raised the sword in one hand, and the cold light of the sword illuminated the gloomy palace.Shen Junli exclaimed in shock: "No!"

In the blink of an eye, black iron shackles fell one after another.The man lifted Meng Ziying's hair with one hand, patted him on the cheek, and shouted: "Wake up, Ziying." After several times, Meng Ziying finally opened his eyes and looked at him by the faint candlelight in the hall. With a glance, he frowned and said in distaste: "Where did the sloppy Hanako come from? It's so dirty, hurry up and beat me out."

The man picked up his upper body, his chest buzzed and shook, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "You can't drive me away this time. I'm old, dirty and sloppy, as long as my Ziying is still this beautiful. "Meng Ziying sighed weakly: "What are you doing here so crazy? Are you planning to lose the throne? You are already old, let the children see our jokes." The man took off his coat and put it on him, and said with a smile : "Although it's a joke. Just don't make me look at the mountains and rivers you and I have seen together with heartache."

After 30 years of wind and rain, the mountains and rivers have changed color. Who still remembers the original appearance of the mountains and rivers?

Meng Ziying was filled with love and hatred, and she burst into tears. She hugged his neck with both hands and couldn't help crying: "Yansheng, you are finally here. You idiot, why did you come? I have been waiting for you all my life, all my life!"

There was no limit to the sea of ​​blood, and Shen Junli stood aside, feeling that the longest night of his life had come.

No one likes it, this is unscientific... Anger, the next chapter will end...

The author has something to say: My mother... I feel that I can spend the Spring Festival safely...

☆, end chapter

After Bai Yansheng chopped off the shackles on Meng Ziying's body, he helped him sit up and asked, "Can you go?" Meng Ziying reluctantly nodded.Bai Yansheng put his arm around him, and wrapped his arms around his waist, and the two of them helped him get off the bed.

A figure stumbled towards the front of the hall and shouted sharply: "Bai Yansheng, stop!"

Only then did Bai Yansheng look up at Shen Junli, and then asked Meng Ziying, "How should I deal with this person?"

This is contempt of the highest order.When Shen Junli heard this "Follow you", his complexion was ashen and defeated, as if he had lost his soul.He didn't dare to look at Meng Ziying's expression, but pointed the tip of his sword at Bai Yansheng, and said in a trembling voice: "Bai Yansheng, this is Jinguan City, not Yongjing, Changle Palace, not Daming Palace, how can you allow yourself to be presumptuous here!"

Only then did Bai Yansheng recall that a few years ago, he had seen this person at the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet in Jiangling City when he went on a tour in disguise.He frowned unknowingly and said: "Externally cultivate courtiers, but internally behave badly. Ziying, why do you let such a person stay by your side?" Mencius smiled bitterly and said, "It's my lack of virtue."

Shu country is cloudy and rainy, and there are sentimental flowers to explain the language.This cloud of passion, the karma of admiration and jealousy have devoured your heart since childhood.Already in the hideous corner of hell but without knowing it, he finally attracted the most powerful enemy and let the last piece of paradise in this troubled world fall.

A gust of wind blew from the depths of the ancient temple, and the man hit him with bare hands and thunderous momentum.Shen Junli was caught off guard, and only moved with the "Mingyue Liufeng" footwork under his feet, and hurriedly avoided.Bai Yansheng's "Hundred Steps and Thousand Traces" was faster than him, he slapped his chest and sent him flying.Shen Junli bumped into the copper pillar in the hall, broke his sternum, fell to the ground again, and vomited blood.

Bai Yansheng also carried a Mencius Ying on his body, and he was clean and beautiful in defeating the enemy with one move, like wind without shadow or water with no form, it was really like a state of perfection.Meng Ziying sighed in her heart, she has lost everything in her life.After Bai Yansheng knocked down Shen Junli, he didn't look back, and was about to leave the palace with his beloved.Suddenly I heard Han Qingshang's voice from outside: "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"

The two of them paused for a moment, and there was the sound of gongs piercing the sky in the darkness, and the sound of white geese leaping back with Meng Ziying in their arms.At the same time, tens of thousands of steel arrows shot in from outside like raindrops, and were nailed to the ground, pillars, tables and chairs.The front hall was empty, and the two had no choice but to hide behind the copper pillars.

Those who rushed outside were the Habayashi Army reinforced from Chengqian Palace.Shen Junli stood there with his sword, leaning on the copper pillar and struggling to stand up, he looked at the two people behind the opposite copper pillar, and said with a sneer: "There are at least 1000 people outside, Bai Yansheng, you are throwing yourself into a trap."

Bai Yansheng stretched out his hand and touched several acupoints of Meng Ziying, and winked at him.Just at that time, a wave of arrow rain had passed, and another wave had not yet arrived. Bai Yansheng appeared from behind the copper pillar, and said to the outside: "Han Qingshang, you plug your ears." He took a deep breath, separated his feet, and breathed out first. Shen Dantian raised his qi again, the qi and blood flowed backwards, so he let out a long howl.The whistling sound swept through the clouds, galloping like a tiger, and spread out from the hall, during which there was a dark turn of energy, which turned deeper and deeper, and lasted for a long time.

Shen Junli had a sharp pain in his eardrums, and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

Meng Ziying also showed pain on her face, only feeling that the copper pillars behind her were trembling.

That night, many people in Jinguan City heard a strange sound in their sleep, like a chime revolving in the night sky.When they all got out of bed and opened the window to look, the sound disappeared again.The only thing that can be distinguished is the direction of the sound, which seems to come from Changle Palace.

After the whistle was over, Bai Yansheng held back his breath and walked back to Meng Ziying's side. Seeing that his face was as golden as paper, he quickly pressed his pulse door to input his true energy.It took a while for Meng Ziying's face to recover.Bai Yansheng untied his acupoints, and he plunged into his arms without even the strength to speak.

So Bai Yansheng had no choice but to squat down and carry him on his back.

It was completely quiet outside the hall.The two walked out of the Tai Chi Hall, only to see broken arrows full of steps, and the fallen crowd wriggling like bugs in the open space.Han Qingshang flashed out from the side, trying to catch Meng Ziying, but was stopped by the sound of Bai Yan: "Wait, someone is coming again." Hearing the sound of horseshoes approaching from far and near, Han Qingshang jumped down with a sword in his hand. steps.Two five-flowered horses galloped into the gate of the palace, one behind the other, and Bai Xiliu was controlling the horse in front. She saw the three people in front of the palace, and immediately beamed with joy: "Father, Pavilion Master Han, it really is you!"

Wu Huacong rushed to the front of the steps, she got off the horse, her clothes were already soaked, whether it was rain or blood.She shouted to Bai Yansheng: "Daddy, take him away quickly, there are people at the east gate to pick him up." Since she married into the Kingdom of Shu, the father and daughter have not seen each other for more than three years, but at this time Bai Yansheng has no time to take a closer look at the fact that he is already a married woman. My beloved daughter, and I don't know how to explain why I am here.Fortunately, Bai Xiliu didn't even ask a word, and handed the reins to Bai Yansheng.He took the reins and got on the horse. After sitting down, he quickly took Meng Ziying and hugged him in front of him.

Bai Xiliu got on another horse, and gestured to Han Qingshang, who felt that he was overrepresented and presumptuous, so he hesitated.At this moment, a ocher whip flew out from the deep chamber of the Tai Chi Hall, wrapping around Han Qingshang's ankle, and he was instantly dragged to the ground.Baixiliu's body flew like a butterfly, flew down from the horse, swung his sword to cut off the ocher whip.Han Qingshang jumped up, and the two turned their heads at the same time, only to see Shen Junli staggering out of the hall.

"You escort daddy away first! Xie Yu is still in Hanzhang Hall, I will find Xie Yu and meet you again!" Bai Xiliu sent Han Qingshang onto the horse with a palm.Han Qingshang almost fell off his horse in a panic. He glanced at Bai Yansheng's horse, which had already raised its front hooves and rushed to the outside.Your Majesty must not be left unattended!As soon as he thought this, he had no choice but to follow the two of them.

Bai Xiliu watched the three men and two horses rush out of the palace gate, and then turned around to face Shen Junli.Shen Junli looked at her hair that was wet by the rain when she came here at night, and guessed that the people left in Chengqian Palace were not her opponents, so he smiled wryly: "So this is the eve of the storm. Your father and daughter are really extraordinary. I really regret that time In Jiangling City, I didn't listen to Shen Yiwei and Lei Shen's words, and took down Baiyansheng. I was so stupid!"

The rain is cold and the stars are gone, and Bai Xiliu looks up at the dark night above his head. In the time and space without electricity, such a night is so long that it is hopelessly long.

I used to think that this era was dark and ignorant, not worth mentioning.But even in the darkest age, there are outstanding figures. They bring light to the chaotic world like stars, so that people sneaking in the dark will not lose their way.

She held the sword in her right hand calmly and raised it above her head, with the tip of the sword lowered slightly. This is the opening gesture in "Sword of Solitary Shadow on the Cold River", where the moon shoots at the cold river. "General Shen, this will be your last night, I will not let you see the sun tomorrow anyway."

In the spring of this year, the thrones of Dashu and Dacheng changed hands almost simultaneously within three days.At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, King Yu Desheng of Liangzhou failed to conspire to proclaim himself emperor, and was led by his generals. The Liangzhou army surrendered their allegiance to the new emperor.In July, Zhou Guogong Pei Lie led tens of thousands of Yulin troops to Yangcheng on the bank of Ganshui.

The nine gates outside Ganyang City were tightly closed, surrounded like iron barrels, swords were on the verge of breaking out in the city, and teeth were sucking blood in the lower part of the city.

Pei Lie clothed in gold armor, surrounded by generals, stood in front of the army.He squinted at the south gate of Ganyang City. The city was nine feet high and unbreakable. There were [-] elite soldiers in the city, and several years of grain and grass reserves.He cleared his throat and shouted towards Wengcheng: "Your Majesty's decree, please come out to receive the decree."

There were crowds of people in the city, but no one answered.Pei Lie yelled a few more times, and for the last time, a leader who looked like a lieutenant came out from the Wengcheng and shouted: "The king of Qi has been favored by the first emperor, and he entrusted him with the task of guarding the city. The king is in pain physically and mentally, but he dare not make a mistake. Duke Zhou can bring dozens of guards into the city after untying his sword, and the army should retreat [-] li and set up camp."

Pei Lie sneered and said, "How dare he resist the order? What if I insist on bringing troops into the city?"

The man said: "King Qi said that if you want to open the city gate, you need to have the handwriting of the former emperor, or the tiger charm."

Letter from the former emperor?Bai Yansheng acted willfully and recklessly, he left this heavy burden overnight, and even drafted a will, so where did he come from?Pei Lie was in Yanbo Palace that night, and he witnessed it from beginning to end, and he knew it well, this was clearly an excuse.Therefore, he turned his head and asked Qu Chengfeng, who was accompanying him, and said, "What tiger talisman? Have you heard of it?" Qu Chengfeng shook his head and said, "Caomin don't know." Pei Lie became more and more suspicious, and when he wanted to ask, but At this time, the soldiers are approaching the city, and the arrow is on the string, and they feel that something is wrong.

The army hovered around the city for several hours, the city gates did not open, the commander neither started fighting nor retreated to set up camp, gradually the hearts of the army fluctuated.Pei Lie thought for a long time, he had no choice but to draw out his sword and held it high in his hand, and shouted: "Listen to my orders, attack the city!"

This sound was like a tonic, and when the team was neutral, there was a loud shout: "Siege! Kill, kill, kill!" Tens of thousands of horses swarmed out and jumped over Pei Lie.The sky never tires of chaos, and there is no room for hesitation in a chaotic world full of wars and flames. It seems that only by constantly fighting can you bloom fresh vitality.Wearing thin armor, Qu Chengfeng looked at all this sadly, and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

In July, the city of Ganyang was destroyed, King Qi and his wife committed suicide, and the son was nowhere to be found.Pei Lie took back the imperial city that Bai Yansheng had dreamed of in the past.On the way back to Yongjing, the teacher impeached him for intentionally forcing King Qi to rebel.Of course, there are also those who appealed for Zhou Guogong's grievances.

Pei Lie rushed back to Yongjing before leaving with the army.As soon as he entered Yanbo Palace, someone stepped forward to stop him: "General, Your Majesty is still changing clothes." Pei Lie kicked the palace guard away, clenched the sword at his waist, and rushed straight into the side hall.The palace people screamed one after another, he rushed into the bedroom in one breath, and he saw several maidservants waiting for Bai Qiongyu to change the court clothes.

Bai Qiongyu was surprised, her voice trembled slightly, and she ordered the palace servants to retreat.The maidservants scattered behind the beautiful brocade tents of the palace like butterflies.Pei Lie hurriedly walked up to him, his eyes were like knives, he scanned his whole body, and said coldly: "Where's your jade belt?"Pei Lie followed, suppressed his anger, and said, "The Fang Tuan jade belt has only eight tuanlongs, and the number is less than ninety-five. It is not something that the emperor wears, but it is given to the courtiers. The eight tuanlong white jade Kui, plus a Changle Jade Bi, which corresponds to the nine city gates of Ganyang. This jade belt is the Tiger Talisman agreed between the late emperor and the King of Qi, isn’t it?”

He remembered that cold spring night, when the young emperor stood alone by the water, and because the white jade around his waist was cold, he threw the jade belt to the ground.Pei Lie slapped the sandalwood easel inlaid with tin baskets, and the easel was torn apart and scattered into dust. "The Emperor Xian knew about the jade belt, His Majesty knew it, the King of Qi knew it, even Qu Chengfeng knew it, but I didn't know it. You want to see me and the King of Qi fight with each other and lose both. You are young, why don't you Will there be these insidious tricks that make people hard to guard against?"

But Bai Qiongyu held her back with one hand, as if she didn't hear anything.Seeing his indifferent expression, Pei Lie recalled that that night, Bai Yansheng also walked out of the Yanbo Palace with nothing to worry about, passing through the smoke and dust of history and the shadow of swords and swords, leaving only an indelible back.His grief and indignation were unbearable, and he felt abandoned by the hero in his heart and by the people of the world.

"I really don't know about the jade belt. If I tell you, you probably won't believe it." Bai Qiongyu suddenly said, "But I also want to ask you something. I heard that Ye Huang had a few words for you to bring to King Qi." Why didn't you tell Wang Ming when you went to Ganyang? These private words should be more effective than the hand letter and the tiger talisman. With your martial arts, it is not difficult to sneak into the city and explain to King Qi face to face. You can reconcile, but why use force? ?”

Is it not the long years of war that have made your soul thirst for iron and blood?Isn't it because you wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate King Qi's influence and the family dominates?

Pei Lie was startled when he heard the sound, and suddenly changed his expression: "Your Majesty, are you testing me?" Bai Qiongyu tapped the back of the chair with her fingers, and said calmly: "It's not a test. I just remind you: the king never forgets the minister, and the minister will do his best to fear that the king and the minister will hurt you." There is no end, so there is this saying."

There is water in the emperor's heart, and the waves can't afford it.He has both extraordinary resourcefulness and extraordinary patience, trying to maintain a decent calm in the pain of losing his father.If he grows up a bit, he will definitely be a master of trickery.

What are you and your father planning?What exactly are you trying to achieve?Pei Lie had already made a big decision in his mind, so he grinned and said, "Your Majesty, the civil strife has been eliminated, please choose a day to dispatch the army to recover Xichuan, flatten Bashu, and unify the world."

Bai Qiongyu was terrified, stared at him and said: "No, we still need to wait and see, waiting for the situation in the world to change." Pei Lie pointedly said: "What are you waiting for, Your Majesty? Ganyang and Liangzhou are flat, there are no heroes in the world, and the world is at your fingertips." Bai Qiongyu turned pale, but kept shaking her head.

Come on, let me see, see if you have the courage to conquer troubled times.Pei Lie took a few steps back, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "The Grand Duke's Art of War says: If you don't cut the sword, you will lose. If you don't cut the sword, the thief will come. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. Your Majesty should make a decision soon!"

"My imperial sister is still in Changle Palace!" The words in Bai Qiongyu's heart were ready to come out.In an instant, Pei Lie understood.He has a cold appearance, which is like Empress Xie, but his heart is full of entanglements, which is exactly the same as his father.

An imperceptible look of disappointment appeared in Pei Lie's eyes.He no longer looked at the expression on the face of the young emperor, and walked straight out of Yanbo Hall.If it hurts, it hurts together!If you don't make up your mind, how can you stand up to your repeated temptations? !

In the hinterland of Cangshan Mountain in Zhongzhou, far away from the two storm eyes of Xichuan and Yongjing, Yujian Villa welcomed an unexpected distinguished guest a few months ago.

On a hill behind Xianglu Peak, there is a thatched cottage built against a cliff. It used to be the place where Shu Emperor Meng Ziying stayed during the martial arts conference in Jingning.Now the thatched cottage has been demolished, and a small two-story building named Songfeng Pavilion has been built for the collection of books.

On this day, Su Zhishan, the owner of Yujian Villa, brought Ruan Shidao and his wife, the genius doctors of Qingzhou Yaowanglu, to Songfeng Pavilion.Ruan Shidao wore a crane cloak and a star crown, and held a feather fan in his hand. After calling Mencius Ying's pulse, he got up and went to the side to prescribe medicine.His wife, Meng Ziluan, moved to the front of the bed, held Ziying's hand, and cried out in a distressed voice.

After Ruan Shidao finished formulating the prescription, he handed it to Bai Yansheng at the side, and said with a wry smile: "Snow ginseng, velvet antler, and Dahuandan, is it really okay for you to make up for it like this? His life should be safe, and the rest The toxin is to be removed slowly." Bai Yansheng clothed his robe with a Ge belt, without adorning his appearance, clasped his fists and asked, "Thanks to the divine doctor, but why hasn't he woke up?" Ruan Shidao heard that the patient had lived on the mountain for more than a month, but he never heard of it. Really awake, momentarily silent.

"Long-term unconsciousness may not be all caused by toxins." Meng Ziluan came out of the inner room. Most of the face burned in Xiangyang had recovered. Although the new skin was slightly weird, it was better than when it was masked. Much more.She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Brother Bai, I heard that after the first battle in Jiangling, Princess Shen performed the mind-replenishing technique on you, and you didn't wake up for three years."

She still speaks as if she was wandering in the mountains and forests before, but there are two former emperors and heroes who look down on the world here.Although there was no need to kneel on the ground, such a straightforward tone made both Su Zhishan and Ruan Shidao a little embarrassed.Bai Yansheng has always felt guilty towards her because of the burning of Xiangyang, and he doesn't mind her exposing scars as soon as she came: "That's what happened. I was a chaotic person at that time, and I probably knew what happened around me, but I just felt very sad and very sad. Tired, unwilling to open eyes."

"That's right." Meng Ziluan, like when he was young, clapped his hands when he was happy: "Weak willows in the past ten years are not fatal, and there will be a day when heals slowly. It's just that he is depressed and has some I can't let go of my worries, and I don't want to wake up. Brother Bai, have you ever thought about what brother Ziying is afraid of?"

As soon as she said this, Bai Yansheng understood, and it was not difficult to guess what Meng Ziying was thinking. "He's afraid that once he recovers, I will abandon him, so he doesn't want to wake up, and would rather draw a prison in his dream..." Bai Yansheng's heart was pierced when he thought of this, and he almost vomited blood.

The other three saw him suddenly with red eyes and agitated emotions, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak.After Bai Yan thanked the guests, he went back to the inner room and sat beside Meng Ziying.Medicinal incense was burning in the bedroom, the curtains of soft smoke hung down softly, and the blue curtains were rippled by the mountain wind coming through the window.The person under the tent seemed to be dreaming a sweet dream, with a peaceful face and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Not long after Ruan Shidao and his wife left, there was news about King Qi.When the news reached Zhongzhou, the gate of Ganyang City had already been broken.After Su Zhishan told Bai Yansheng, he saw that there was no abnormality on his face, so he asked worriedly: "Are you going to find out the whereabouts of Prince Qi's son? Send some people to Yongjing to protect His Majesty?" Bai Yansheng sat still, even though he was worried. Heartbroken, he still shook his head and said: "If you want to break it, you should break it cleanly. I have abdicated. Since the world has been entrusted to others, I should not get involved in the imperial power. This is also unfair to the entrusted. The children have Solutions for kids."

Who is to blame?Do you blame yourself for not knowing people well?No one wants to be a puppet of power and make wedding dresses for others for the rest of their lives.Wasn't the self who was in the center of power the most touching?

Blame yourself for walking too hastily and not arrange for the aftermath?The world is safe and secure?At that time, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. If everything was perfect, could Ziying be saved?

The blame can only be blamed on myself for not untying King Qi's heart knot as soon as possible, the two brothers could no longer reconcile.

He sighed heavily, not noticing that the patient lying behind him frowned almost invisibly.

Su Zhishan thought more than he did, and said earnestly and generously: "Your Majesty wants to preserve the reputation of Yujian Villa, and he does not want Su to get involved in court disputes too much, but Her Royal Highness is the only daughter of my junior sister, and Su must hear about it." Don’t ask, or I’ll be sorry for Master’s spirit in heaven.”

When he mentioned Bai Xiliu, Bai Yansheng's heart ached again.At Changle Palace that day, he
