Evil Love: Clouds Overwhelm the World

11. Envoy from the Saibei Dynasty

"Your Majesty, urgent report at the border." In Qianqing Palace, Murong Yujiang stood with his hands behind his back, a thin figure lay lifeless on the dragon couch, and the imperial physician knelt on the ground.

While the imperial physicians were struggling to diagnose and treat Yun Shen, a deputy under General Liu Hou of Dingyuan, who had been stationed at the border all year round, rushed over non-stop overnight, and knelt down in front of Murong Yujiang as soon as he entered the door.

"Your Majesty..." Xia Houyong came all night, he was out of breath, his eyes were staring, he was sweating profusely, and Murong Yujiang was startled, seeing how he was in a hurry, he thought that something happened at the border gate misfortune.

"Can something important happen?" Murong Yujiang sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the unconscious Yun Shen, the smile on his lips revealed the coldness of late autumn, as he smoothed the wet hair on Yun Shen's cheeks, There was some turbidity in the voice, but it was still calm and indifferent.

"The envoy of the Saibei Dynasty wishes to come and visit our emperor."

The smile suddenly changed, and he said sarcastically, "Saibei Dynasty? When did they want to live in peace with our Chaogan Kingdom? I'm afraid they are staring at those rioters in Qingzhou."

His eyes were sharp and cold, but the hands stroking Yun Shen's forehead were light and gentle, "Your Majesty said very much..."

In front of the emperor, everyone looked so insignificant, Xia Houyong looked at the young but majestic emperor in front of him, he didn't have the courage to make rash remarks, so he had to follow Murong Yujiang's words.

"When are they leaving?"

"Departure tomorrow, and come to Beijing in half a month." Yun Shen snorted coldly and in pain, Murong Yujiang hurriedly turned his head, took the handkerchief from the maid's hand and carefully wiped off the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, After a while, Xia Houyong spoke again, "But this time there is something strange."

"What's so strange?" Murong Yujiang glanced sideways at him, handed the handkerchief to the servant, and came to him step by step, his cold voice passed over Xia Houyong's head, "Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Murong Yujiang turned around, glanced at the queen who was also anxious by the bed, and turned his face, "Let's go to the study to talk, there is a queen."

The moonlight outside the sky is cold and frightening. Xia Houyong looked up at the bright moon. As the saying goes, when the moon is full, people miss home. Xia Houyong can't remember how long he has been back to his hometown. He grew up following the general since he was a child, and Kyoto is still the bright light in his heart that he watches outside the Great Wall all day long. He does not hesitate to light the lights and hopes, and life will definitely not be extinguished casually.

"How long has it been since you came back?" Murong Yujiang's cold voice came, like a cold light entering his heart, lighting up the corner of his heart that had been hidden for many years, Xia Houyong stared at the back.

"It's been more than ten years."

Such a short conversation, such a hasty first scene, Xia Houyong couldn't understand the person in front of him. This young emperor was in his prime, but the indifference in his eyes was so chilling. It's so unpredictable, it's been like this since childhood, he once had a quick glimpse of the person in front of him in Junzi's mansion, at that time he wasn't as lonely as he is now.

A little bit of ambergris from the upper study room made Xia Houyong wake up from his memories. The person in front of him is no longer the child he used to be, but a generation of emperors aloof, a person whose words and deeds affect the world .Those days are long gone.

"Let's talk about it." Murong Yujiang rested his chin lightly with his right hand, and the corner of his lips smiled slightly, that smile flickered like a smoldering flame.

"Yes. There has been no news from the Saibei Dynasty since the Battle of Dingbei. I heard that when His Majesty ascended the throne, the Saibei Dynasty also experienced turmoil. A very mysterious person appeared out of thin air. The new emperor ascended the throne. The first prime minister in the history of the dynasty, it is said that this person's whereabouts are mysterious and unusual, and he rarely shows up in front of people, but this time the envoy informed that this mysterious prime minister will also come with him."

"Mysterious man? The prime minister who has never shown his face?" The arc of Murong Yujiang's mouth gradually widened, and an inexplicable excitement and anxiety rushed up his throat. This feeling was unprecedented, and it was the first time Murong Yujiang felt so flustered.

"These days, you stay in Beijing first, and then personally escort the prime minister out of Beijing."

"Yes."

"You go down first."

After Xia Houyong left, Murong Yujiang realized that his hands were cold, his right hand was still shaking unceasingly, and his heart had not calmed down at all. "Come here."

"Join Your Majesty, what is the emperor's order." The one who came in was an unfamiliar little maid.

"What's your name? Why have I never seen you before?" The little palace maid seemed not to be afraid of Murong Yujiang's words, she raised her head with a smile and replied:

"Excuse me, my maidservant's name is Sui Rong, she is a new maid this year, and she has just been assigned to work in the upper study, so your majesty has never seen her before."

"Go and call General Li Shaoling and ask him to come to the study to see me immediately."

Murong Yujiang sat on the dragon chair dumbly, with nothing in his heart, except for the flickering and crackling of the candles around him, the silence was terrifying.

Li Shaoling was drinking tea and discussing paintings with his wife, when he received the urgent call, he put on his clothes and rushed to the study without stopping, "Long live Your Majesty."

He shouted twice, but he didn't get a response from Murong Yujiang. He boldly looked up, but found that Murong Yujiang was staring at the flickering candle lightly, and he couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty... I came here in a hurry after receiving the urgent call. May I ask if it is appropriate for Your Majesty to be so anxious?" He mustered up the courage to speak again. This time, seeing Murong Yujiang's body shaking, he spoke slowly.

"Shaoling, half a month later, the envoys of the Saibei Dynasty will come to Beijing. I want you to strengthen the security of the capital. In addition, pass on an order to send more people to Qingzhou. These days, I really want you to pay close attention to the movements of the Saibei Dynasty. Until they leave the capital, I will not allow any mistakes, if there are mistakes, I want your whole family to be buried with them."

Li Shaoling has been an official for many years, and this general was appointed by Murong Yujiang himself. He has never seen Murong Yujiang's face so ugly, and his words so resolute and vicious, "Yes, I will definitely go all out."

After the confession, Murong Yujiang felt like being hollowed out by him, and his whole body was exhausted. Li Shaoling stayed by Murong Yujiang's side for many years, and was regarded as Murong Yujiang's confidant. Seeing Murong Yujiang's expression, he immediately resigned. Without the slightest hesitation.

"Resignation." Murong Yujiang lay on his side on the couch, waved his hands tiredly, and then fell into a chaotic dream. The feeling of confusion was like a nightmare, torturing Murong Yujiang's nerves. , He woke up several times, and then no longer wanted to sleep.
