The climate of Dongshuo Kingdom is cold. During the day, the sky is hazy, and at night, it is covered with dark clouds. The biting cold wind blows by, making Shui Lianyue's teeth chatter involuntarily. Even wearing a fur cloak does not help.
The street was empty except for the candlelight in the homes of residents on both sides. The whole city of Hucheng looked desolate. Shui Lianyue walked alone on the street and observed the surrounding environment. In such a cold weather, even the front door of the brothel was deserted. Where can there be no one as prosperous as Jin Xi?
After walking for a while, Shui Lianyue stopped and looked up at the large black plaque with golden borders, which read the five characters "Beichen General Mansion" written on it.
There were two big red lanterns hanging outside the house. Even though they were blown by such a cold wind, they were not extinguished. Shui Lianyue was a little curious and couldn't help but walked over to take a look. Only then did she realize that they were burning kerosene lanterns unique to Dongshuo Kingdom [
According to her understanding, although Dongshuo is rich in kerosene, not every household has it. Only the royal family and nobles can use it, and it is a gift specially approved by the emperor. Otherwise, even if you are a princess, you cannot use it as long as it is not given to you.
From this it can be seen that this General Beichen has a higher status than those princes and princesses. He must have made great contributions to the establishment of Dongshuo Kingdom, so the emperor will reward her. She looked up and down at the door of the General's Mansion, then walked over and took a sniff, which made her more certain that this General Beichen was not a simple person. figure
Although the gate of Yinchen Wood is considered a treasure in modern times, in this feudal ancient times it has become a treasure sought after by all living beings. As long as you have it, it is a symbol of status. The two doors of General Beichen's Mansion are both made of Yinchen Wood, which cannot be underestimated. peep
There were no guards guarding the door. The door was closed tightly and no sound could be heard from inside. However, just as she was checking, there was suddenly a sound of horse hooves and the rolling wheels of a carriage coming from the street. She quickly hid.
Sure enough, a very grand and luxurious carriage stopped in front of the General Beichen's Mansion. The door of the General's Mansion also opened at this time. Several servants ran out from inside to welcome the man in the carriage back.
The carriage door opened, and a servant held a black fur coat in his hand. When the person in the carriage landed, he put it on his body, and welcomed him into the General's Mansion like all living beings holding the moon. Because there was no moonlight, Shui Lianyue didn't even look at it until the door of the General's Mansion was closed tightly. Looking at that man's appearance, could he be General Beichen or Baili Game?
Shui Lianyue climbed in from the wall of the General's Mansion and gently shook the dust off her cloak. This was her favorite fur, which she spent almost half of her money on.
The decoration of the house is very luxurious, which can be said to be extremely luxurious. There are many stone pillars half a person's height on both sides of the road. Not only are kerosene lamps lit on the stone pillars, but also a small charcoal pot is placed. The charcoal pot is covered with a lid made of unknown material, and there is no smoke at all. I can still feel a little warm when I come out and walk through here.
It is precisely because of the extravagant decoration in the mansion that Shui Lianyue has to slow down her exploration of Baili Game. There are no rockeries in the mansion, and there are only a few bonsais at most. But what is surprising is that there are plum blossoms planted everywhere in the mansion, all of them are bright red plum blossoms. When it snows, the scenery will be absolutely beautiful.
In the blink of an eye, Shui Lianyue came to a courtyard. The lights were on in the courtyard, and the faint sound of someone talking seemed to be in the courtyard. She hurriedly concealed herself and eavesdropped.
"Looking at Dongshuo, Rong is the only place where my prince lives the most comfortably, hahaha."
Listening to this voice, Shui Lianyue suddenly felt her blood boiling. Isn't this Baili Game? Who is it?
"That's really a great blessing for Rong. The second prince's compliments made Rong's place shine brightly with his compliments." The light words seemed to be flattering, but the tone was as misty as smoke, like an illusion, like a dream.
Shui Lianyuefa imagined that a person with such a soft voice that made people feel like they were in a dreamland and casual and indifferent would be a general of Dongshuo Kingdom.
"You are always so calm and calm. After all, you are also the number one general of our Dongshuo Kingdom." Baili Yiyi tapped Bei Chenrong's chest with his hand and said with a smile.
Beichen Rong raised his eyebrows slightly as if he was dissatisfied with the second prince's words and said calmly: "These are all given by parents, and Rong can't control them. Besides, do you have to rely on your voice to win on the battlefield?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Baili Yiyi was startled for a moment and then grinned as if to cover up his embarrassment, "Ai Rong, what are you saying at such an age and still having a child-like temper? When will you change it?"
Unexpectedly, these words seemed to annoy Beichen Rong again. He frowned slightly, looked at Baili Yiyi indifferently and snorted: "Does the second prince think that Yirong has a childlike temperament and is not qualified for the position of general? In that case." Please ask the second prince to take back his orders and refuse to be the general."
"What's going on with you today? You're like this when you come back from the palace. Could it be that Xixiang is messing around again?" Baili Yiyi put away his smile and looked at Beichenrong with a solemn face.[
"How can Rong blame the princess?" As soon as he finished speaking, Baili Game laughed again.
"Hahaha Xixiang has been spoiled by her father since she was a child, and I am the only princess in Dongshuo Kingdom. Naturally, she has a bad temper, but she is still kind-hearted. Please be patient with her. Besides, my majestic princess in Dongshuo Kingdom only listens to Your general alone is already a miracle. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with?"
Beichenrong snorted coldly and turned his head away from looking at Baili Game. His voice became even colder and said: "If you are here just to talk to Rong, there is no need."
After hearing this, Baili Yiyi twitched the corner of his mouth and put away his smile. His gentle face suddenly revealed a touch of chill. He looked at the night sky and said in a deep voice: "The third prince and the fourth prince have begun to take action. Within these five days, they have already They have raised a lot of food and grass, and even the commander of the barracks has been bribed by them. Although you have a lot of troops here, the water far away cannot save the fire nearby. Even if you set out from now on, you will not be able to make it unless you expose yourself too much and arouse your father's suspicion."
Beichenrong thought for a moment and asked: "But they are not afraid of acting like this under the eyes of the emperor."
"Humph" Baili Yiyi snorted coldly and a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "The eldest prince has served his father day and night and has gained a lot of his father's trust. It would not be easy for him to do something to his father if he wanted to know."
Beichen Rong frowned and looked at Baili Game and said calmly: "What do you mean?"
"I want to start with the two of them first. If I take care of the first prince first, I will lose an arm by then."
After hearing this, Beichenrong's expression suddenly became serious, "But they are your biological brothers after all."
"I understand what you mean," Baili Yiyi sighed, with a hint of melancholy on his face. "But to be born in the royal family, these are indispensable. In the royal family, everyone is good at being bullied and ridden. This is especially true. It involves that position, and the relationship between brothers is extremely weak. If this prince does not take action, the person who will die will be himself. Do you want to see me die?"
Suddenly he met Bei Chenrong's eyes. The two of them didn't speak for a long time. A touch of melancholy and sadness rippled through the courtyard.
Outside the yard, Shui Lianyue had been hiding in the dark and eavesdropped. They stopped talking and got up to move around. Unexpectedly, she wanted to squat for too long and her legs were numb. She accidentally bumped into the plum blossom tree pole nearby. "Clatter!" There were many plum blossoms. The petals started to fall down due to this impact.
"Who is outside the yard? Didn't I tell you that no one is allowed to come near this place without my permission?" When Bei Chenrong heard the noise, he immediately walked towards the door, opened it, looked for the sound and walked over, only to find that something had fallen there. There are many plum blossom petals, and the light plum blossom fragrance seems to be mixed with another elegant fragrance.
After a while, Baili Yiyi also walked out and came to Beichenrong's side. He looked at the petals on the ground with a solemn expression and said in a low voice: "Send someone quickly to find out if it is the eldest prince's person."
"Yes." Bei Chenrong gently sniffed the elegant fragrance in the air and nodded slightly.
Shui Lianyue hid all the way in Tibet and was almost discovered by the patrolling guards. After leaving the General Beichen's Mansion, she relaxed and stood not far from the General's Mansion, looking at the door, thinking back to the conversation between Baili Yiyi and Beichenrong just now, and then made some calculations. I feel that moving Baili Game is not easy and will cause a lot of trouble for myself. It should be a period of internal turmoil in Dongshuo Kingdom. It would be a pity if I missed it.
So Shui Lianyue set her sights on the third and fourth princes. If she could save the lives of the fourth and third princes and wait until the eldest prince left the palace, the result would be more distressing and angry for him than killing Baili Yiyi.
After returning to the inn, Shui Lianyue simply tidied up and lay down, but she heard Nangong Yu's deep voice: "I advise you not to cause trouble, otherwise it will not be so easy for the group to go to Tianchi Mountain."
Shui Lianyue's body froze but quickly recovered as before. She smiled mockingly and said, "You still don't believe me when I say you are a greedy person who is afraid of death. Don't worry, I won't delay finding an antidote for you."
If Nangong Yu's mind doesn't know what she is going to do, then she is really stupid.
"Well, I am not afraid of death. But if I am dragged to death by a shameless woman like you, it will be a great misfortune in life."
You couldn't see Nangong Yu's expression in the darkness, but you could also imagine the disdainful expression and sarcastic expression from his tone. Shui Lianyue chuckled and said lightly: "Since you said so, then let me, a knowledgeable and shameful woman, drag you down." You'll do it until you die"[
