Ningzhou is very quiet at night. A bright moon hangs high in the sky. The moonlight inside the city is like water, and the night outside the city is like ink. The endless black covers the cruel battlefield during the day, which is especially desolate. I hear the cries of crows and nighthawks in the distance.
They hover around the battlefield like the loneliest hunters, enjoying their dinner.
Quiet and cruel.
Yun Buhui stood on the city wall and looked outside the city, his heart heavy. The two armies were fighting each other, and they were pressing closer and closer. King Xuan issued an imperial edict to reverse the situation. The emperor had a good plan. Such an edict was read out in front of the soldiers of the three armies, and the country surrendered. King Zhao felt that
No matter how reluctant you are, you must accept the facts. He has lost the reason to declare war. The country is already in your hands, so why start another war.
Cheng Mubai worked hard for several years to consolidate Beijun and train his troops. The enemy he faced in the end was his own brother, which almost led to tragedy. The old King Zhao planned the beginning, but he did not expect the ending.
What will be their fate?
Cheng Mubai walked up to the city wall and put a black cloak on her back. On the northern border, the weather was bitterly cold and the wind howled at night. He cherished her body, "What are you thinking about standing here alone?"
"Random thoughts." Yun Buhui smiled lightly and held his hand, "What will the emperor do to us?"
"What can he do?" Cheng Mubai asked back.
Yun Buhui said, "I don't know what he can do or what he wants. Although he has the country in hand, I think he must be in a bad mood today. He probably never thought that he would get him under such circumstances.
Everything you want.”
"If you get what you want, why bother worrying about how to get it." Cheng Mubai said meaningfully, "He has got everything he wants, and that is enough. Seek benevolence and get benevolence. Maybe, he can really be a good emperor."
Yun Buhui looked at Cheng Mubai teasingly, pointed to the mountains and asked, "Do you know there is a bandit road leading directly to Ningzhou?"
"Knowing that Ningzhou is a southern fortress is my biggest obstacle. Two years ago, I began to study Ningzhou's terrain, military, and city defense. I thought about the best offensive strategy. Ningzhou's thirteen cities have all the advantages, and I can only attack them by force.
Sneak attacks are the best way to destroy troops and generals. I have dealt with local people and know that there are three roads leading directly to Ningzhou. The bandit road is the best one among them. There are also two other roads that can just encircle Ningzhou City.
Combining fire attacks and stone crossbows in foggy weather, it won't be a problem to capture this city. The emperor and I have been waiting for a foggy day in Ningzhou for so long. The right time, place and people are indispensable. It's a pity that we missed it."
"There were heavy foggy days when I was recuperating."
Cheng Mubai nodded, that was the best opportunity to attack, but he missed it. He was hesitating whether it was necessary to go to war. Yun Buhui's words made him hesitate, and finally missed the good opportunity to attack.
Yun Buhui said, "Fortunately you didn't attack."
Cheng Mubai felt a little regretful, "I really want to fight, lest you always think that he is invincible and invincible. The person you should admire is standing next to you, little girl with no wink."
Yun Buhui smiled and laughed, "Husband, a man's self-esteem cannot be won by his life. In my heart, you are invincible."
"Duplicity." Cheng Mubai didn't believe a word of it.
Yun Buhui said, "Mubai, you don't need to compete with others. If you compare to marching and fighting, you can't compare with the emperor. If you compare with poems and songs, the emperor will definitely lose."
"Are you sure?" Zhao Che put his hands behind his hands and climbed up the steps. After returning to the capital, he held a coronation ceremony. Now the generals of the three armies have respected him as the emperor. He did not put on the dragon robe, but took off his military uniform. He wore a purple robe and a purple outer layer.
Wearing a large cloak, the person has a rare softness under the moonlight.
Cheng Mubai and Yun Buhui were a little surprised to see him. They looked at each other and bowed according to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers. Zhao Che glanced at them and said calmly. Cheng Mubai and Yun Buhui stood up. Yun Buhui joked.
, "Your Majesty, you didn't say anything behind your back. Fortunately, we didn't say anything bad about you."
Cheng Mubai snorted, extremely unruly and not respectful at all. Zhao Che didn't care, "Do you think my poetry and poetry are worse than him?"
Yun Buhui was a little embarrassed when someone grabbed his tail, and pursed his lips in embarrassment. Cheng Mubai said, "If the emperor is not convinced, one day I will compete with you."
"That's right!"
Cheng Mubai looked at him coldly, and Zhao Che's eyes were cold and sharp. They seemed to be competing for something, and their domineering attitude was exposed. Yun Buhui was a little bit overwhelmed being caught in the middle. The war was over, and they were still so tit-for-tat. She thought with a headache that she had taken advantage of it.
It's part of the factor.
Yun Buhui asked, "Your Majesty, the three armies are celebrating for you, why did you come to the city wall alone?"
"I'm upset, come out and relax." Zhao Che said, clasping his hands behind his back, looking at the thick ink in the outer city. It seemed that his life had been spent in such thick ink, and Yun Buhui was his only sunshine.
But this ray of sunshine belongs to Cheng Mubai.
Now that the dust has fallen to the ground and he has the power, he can use force to keep her by his side, but he doesn't want to. Yun Buhui once liked him. Even if he did such a crazy thing this time, she still didn't blame her. If he forced her
, the only beauty between them will be destroyed.
If these beautiful memories do not exist, what will he and she have left?
Cheng Mubai said, "Your Majesty, are you still dissatisfied? You have got what you want most."
Zhao Che didn't know in his heart that he got what he wanted most. The mountains and rivers in the South had been his pursuit for half his life. Now that he had gotten it, his heart was still unhappy. He was not satisfied. He was so high and had no one to share with him.
Yun Buhui once said, after begging for life, why should I just beg for a lonely person?
Cheng Mubai didn't like Zhao Che's gaze very much. He looked at Yun Buhui with a look of nostalgia and predatory. He was a man, so he naturally understood what the man was thinking. His face darkened. He had no way out. Could it be that he wanted to seize the throne after he ascended the throne?
Fuck your only treasure?
Zhao Che looked at Yun Buhui, "Did you tell him my life experience?"
Yun Buhui knew what he was talking about and nodded, "Your Majesty, my mother once left me a letter telling me the truth about my father's death in battle. I know that he was wrongly accused. Someone coveted my mother's beauty, which caused my father to fight."
I was killed on the battlefield and found guilty again. I was very angry and hated everything. I have been immersed in revenge for more than ten years. I never had a good night's sleep. My mother committed suicide in front of me. As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw her eyes.
.My mother doesn’t want me to take revenge. She just wants me to grow up safely, marry my right husband, and spend this life in peace. She said she forgives everyone, and she asks me to forgive everyone who has hurt us. It’s my whole heart.
I want revenge. Now that my enemy is dead, I don’t feel happy. Looking back to my mother, if I had listened to her, I would have lived a happy and comfortable life for more than ten years. So Your Majesty, please forget all this and forgive this.
Everything."
Zhao Che asked, "Is this what you mean?"
Yun Buhui nodded, "Sincerely, I hope that the emperor will benefit the people, marry a virtuous and virtuous queen, love you, cherish you, take care of you, and let you forget the unpleasantness of the past and start over."
He looked into her eyes, which were a pair of sincere eyes, with expectations for him. He could not ignore such expectations and sincerity, and he could not bear to let her down. Yun Buhui knew that he would not let her down, so she
That's why you are so tolerant and gentle towards him.
She was smart and transparent, and could see through him at a glance.
He will not force her or let her down.
Cheng Mubai was a little jealous of their mutual sympathy. When he thought about the fact that Yun Buhui's first crush was Zhao Che, who had a crush on him for many years and kept their letters intact, there was a period of time between them that he could not intervene in.
He was jealous of Zhao Che for having Yun Buhui's most innocent years, but Zhao Che was jealous of Cheng Mubai for having Yun Buhui's life.
"Your Majesty, Buhui is right. After you ascend the throne, you should marry the queen. The country cannot live without a king for a day, nor can it live without a queen for a day." Cheng Mubai said with a smile, that is called a person with graceful demeanor and good sentiments.
Yun Buhui had a headache. King Zhao gave Cheng Mubai a cold look and said, "You don't need to worry about my affairs."
"It's wrong for the emperor to say that. You are the emperor of all people. After you marry, you will have a relationship with all people in the world. How can it be irrelevant?" Cheng Mubai said, "I have a suggestion for you. Princess Xiao Xue of Beijun is only seventeen years old.
Gentle and generous, smart and transparent, and beautiful, she is definitely the best candidate for the queen."
Yun Buhui's heart suddenly suddenly turned and he looked at Zhao Che worriedly, fearing that he would be disgusted. Cheng Mubai suggested that he marry Xiao Xue. It was indeed a good suggestion. It was considered a marriage. Beijun had strong soldiers and horses. Zhao Che had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable. Marrying Xiao Xue would make it stable.
Beijun, for Zhao Che, has nothing but benefits and no harm.
"You are dedicated to protecting Beijun." Zhao Che snorted coldly. He knew Cheng Mubai's thoughts better than anyone else. Beijun was his hinterland and his biggest backer.
Cheng Mubai said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you are a member of the Cheng family, and I am also a member of the Cheng family. What you protect is the Cheng family."
"You and Xiao Bing, the crown prince of Beijun, are sworn brothers. Naturally, you have a good relationship with Xiao Xue. She is only seventeen years old. If you send her to me, do you think she will be happy?" Zhao Che asked.
Cheng Mubai said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Xue has the final say whether you are happy or not. It doesn't matter what you or I say. Just tell the Emperor casually that this little girl likes you very much. She likes you very much. Definitely more than any woman you have ever met."
Like you."
Cheng Mubai said the word "any woman" so hard that Yun Buhui was a little internally hurt. Did he need to tell her?
