Snow was flying outside the tent, and the whole grassland was covered with white. It was snowing! It was another cold winter, and he also spent this time last year in the military camp. At that time, he met her for the first time, and was attracted by her tough personality, even though
"She" is a man, but it gives him the urge to break through the worldly concepts——
"Your Majesty, take a rest."
A low voice brought him back to reality. In reality, it was just his wishful thinking. He shook his head helplessly, "What should I do to you?" He sighed softly.
"My lord, if you change sides at this moment, I'm afraid everyone in the world will laugh at Jie's capriciousness."
Turning to look at Zuo Gong, his eyes were like deep pools, "Haha... Zuo Gong, do you think I will give up?" He said with a bold smile, "The matter has come to this and I cannot go back on my words. This battle must continue!"
"But, Your Majesty, Miss Lian'er -" he hesitated, fearing that the scene of love between children on the battlefield today had already spread in the military camp.
"By helping Jinxiu Shangyi, she can be evenly matched with Long Changyi, which is the best result for her. She has her half-brother on one side and her beloved on the other. No matter which side is injured, she will be sad..." He
Hadn't she already planned it in her heart? If one day, she knew her true identity, she wouldn't be sad or regretful.
"Your Majesty——" Zuo Gong understood instantly, "Then who killed Long Changyi on the battlefield just now, could it be that the master——"
Xuanyuan Xuanyu immediately waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything anymore. Only he knew in his heart that on the battlefield today, he was trying to kill Long Changyi? He just wanted to force her to take action, even if it was just a meeting, so what?
My heart will be satisfied once we meet again, but look
Seeing her actions of protecting Long Changyi, he realized that he was not as strong and self-controlled as he thought. For a moment, he really had the intention to kill and almost killed Long Changyi with his own hands! If he really killed
She may never forgive herself for killing Long Changyi...
"Your Majesty—" The master is no less sentimental than others, but he puts it in his heart rather than on his lips.
"The war is raging, I have no worries, I am alone, looking at the overall situation, and facing the sudden changes in the world;
A body of proud iron, standing tall on the city wall of Jie State despite the rustling wind, this is my existence - the best protection for Jie State.)
My life is destined, a life without suspense, killing and peace, killing and peace again...repeated cycle..." I groaned to myself, the hurt in my eyes became deeper, it turned out that it was already destined - I would be alone in the end, killing.
On the battlefield...numerology, the law of destiny!
The cold and bright eyes when the county was closed, the aloofness and perseverance that refused to give in...
The worried and sad silence on the battlefield, the wave of lonely silence immersed in his eyes, that stubborn figure has been lingering in his heart...
The yellow maple leaves swayed in the deep valley, and the gorgeous light figure under the fallen tree stood in the wind, rising gracefully, sometimes spinning, sometimes flying. The fairy smiled among the flowers, and his eyes were illuminated. It was the first time he saw it.
When she smiles, her smile will captivate the whole country...
Now, the woman who once touched his heartstrings may be lying in someone else's arms, talking sweetly, rubbing her ears and temples together. It turns out that the feeling of heartache is far worse than the injuries on the body...
(Zhaoguo Military Camp)
If there is any happy event in the Zhaoguo military camp, it is the wedding of the notorious Shangguan Chuxiang and Princess Jingyi, the sister of the current emperor. This is already a well-known event, and notices have already been posted:
The emperor of Zhao State bestowed the title of Shangguan Chu on the eighth princess and the minister of Zhao State, Zuo Xiangye.
The wedding day of Que was originally scheduled for last month, but Xuanyuan Xuanyu's repeated troops sent out in recent days have delayed the matter. Now, Xiangjie and Xiangjie armies have officially joined forces, and there are still many things to be resolved. Zhaoguo's situation
Bian felt much more relaxed, and Long Chang also brought the matter to the table again.
Inside the tent, Shangguan Chuque knew very well that at the moment when the emperor was recruiting ministers to the tent, he must be discussing the wedding. He had not married Jingyi for a day, and Long Changyi couldn't let go of the stone in his heart. It's hard for him to sleep at night. But even so, Long Changyi, you still missed one step...
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from the border gate——" The soldiers outside the account hurriedly entered the camp. If it was not a major event, the guards would never rush to Xinghuo's report.
"Pass it up."
Long Chang also took the letter and looked at it carefully. His face was tense, but gradually he relaxed a lot. Finally, he folded the document gently and put it aside with a smile on his face, as if it was a trivial matter.
"Everyone, please step aside first. Shangguan Aiqing and I will discuss the wedding in detail. After all, this is a rare happy event in Zhao Kingdom."
"Wei Chen, please retire..." One by one they all exited the camp.
"Your Majesty, what big thing happened?" Shangguan, who was standing aside, spoke slowly. How could he not notice something abnormal about Long Changyi after years of getting along with him? When everyone was discussing his marriage just now, the person involved looked like a Although he looked lazy and sleepy, he was actually quite active at this time.
"Well, Yin Guo finally couldn't bear the loneliness." Long Changyi said coldly, picked up the folding book on the side and threw it to Shangguan Chuque below.
"Oh?" He took the pass.
"It's something that was expected, but it seems to have come earlier. Could it be that Jing Sa Liuyu couldn't wait for the snipe and the clam to fight, so she just wanted to benefit from it?" Long Chang also thought to himself, and then helped him again. He raised his forehead and said, "No, if Jing Sa and Liu Yu can't stand it anymore, then Liu Qing shouldn't let him take action now. What's the purpose?" She originally planned to finish the battle and then deal with him, but it seems that Yin Guoshi couldn't wait to get involved.
Shangguan Chuque glanced at the document briefly, not bothering to move his eyelids, "If the Yin State sends troops at this time, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our country -" After glancing at the superior monarch, Shangguan Chuque continued, "The Yin State is located in the south. , is the closest to Zhao State among the four countries. If he helps the two countries capture Zhao State at this moment and gets a share of the pie, Yin State will benefit the most. Compared with the long distance between Jie and Xiang, if he takes over Zhao State, It’s much easier to rule than them.”
"I have thought this too, but the Yin Kingdom has never launched a war since the first monarch came to the throne. When Liu Qing served as the regent, she upheld the ancestral precepts of peace as the most important thing and created an unprecedented situation in the Yin Kingdom. How could he act rashly if he is so prosperous?"
"But Master Mu, the No. 1 Building in the World, once said something. I wonder if the Emperor still remembers it?"
Long Chang also thought for a moment and said, "The Shining Spirits from Liuqing Mansion have all been dispatched."
"Yes, all the masters in the mansion have come out. I'm afraid this master is no longer in the mansion."
Long Changyi looked into the abyss at the left prime minister beside him, "Keep talking -"
"The emperor must know more about this specific matter than the minister." Shangguan Chuque secretly said that Mu Suiyi is your Long Changyi. How could I know more than you?
Long Chang also ignored the half-smiling look in his eyes, "He wrote that he was sure that Liu Qing was not in the house. Just like Shining, he was missing. The person in charge now is the emperor of today, Liu Qing's nephew Jing Sa and Liu Yu!" This man is only seventeen years old. He is extremely naive, extravagant and easily provoked by others. It is said that he loves villains and alienates virtuous ministers. At this moment, the Yin Dynasty is in a state of chaos."
"Oh, then if this decision was made by Jing Sa Liuyu, then it makes sense." Shangguan responded, "The villain in the court took this opportunity to make meritorious deeds and instigated Jing Sa Liuyu to send troops."
"This is the only explanation." Although there was nothing strange on Long Changyi's face, his irritability at the moment was revealed by pacing back and forth. "No, there must be no mistakes at this time. Even if Jing Sa Liuyu does it again, Weak, but if you join the Xuanyuan camp, Zhaoguo will really have no chance to turn around!"
"Win over Jing Sa Liuyu?" Shangguan Chuque asked.
"Win over Jing Sa Liuyu!" affirmed.
"What does the Emperor plan to do?"
"Follow him." Long Chang also stared into the distance.
——Following what he likes—— Shangguan Chuque’s eyes smiled.
Above the Jinluan Hall, there are all kinds of music, singing and dancing, "Your Majesty, are these grapes sweet? I know that the Emperor works hard day and night and takes care of everything, so I picked it with my own hands..." The beautiful woman next to me was weak and boneless. On top of a yellow robe, a pair of snow-white jade lotus roots climbed up to his neck as if there was no one around. The clothes were disheveled, and he didn't care about the leakage of spring flowers.
The man half lying on the dragon chair has a complexion like jade, red lips and white teeth, a tall figure, and a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes. It is true that the Yin Kingdom produces beauties, even men can be so charming. Jing Sa has a jade waist. The golden belt was unknowingly loosened. He looked at the beautiful girl in his arms with lust, tightened his long arms, held her tightly in his arms, and rubbed her ear with a charming dizzy tone, "Sweet, sweet, Concubine Lan's mouth is even sweeter." She blocked her red mouth accurately, causing the woman in her arms to giggle...
"Ahem... Your Majesty -" It turns out that there is another person standing there. This person is Guo Qian, the Prime Minister of the Yin State. He is in his fifties and can be physically fit. He is a very popular figure in the Yin State. There is a saying among the people today - it is better to meet the emperor than to meet the Prime Minister Guo, which shows his status in the Yin Kingdom.
"Guo Aiqing, do you also want to try the grapes picked by Concubine Lan herself?" Those beautiful eyes looked up and down at the old fox.
"No, I don't dare. This is because Concubine Lan and Your Majesty have a deep love for each other. I don't dare!" The fat body stepped back in fear.
"Haha..." The man on the dragon chair laughed loudly and playfully pinched the pink cheek of the beautiful woman next to him, causing the beautiful woman to moan again and again. His smile became even stronger, "Prime Minister, is there anything else you can do?" Liuyu had enough fun, and finally remembered that there was someone they had ignored.
"To report to the emperor is to send troops to conquer Zhao Kingdom."
"Oh? Didn't I tell you to take full responsibility? Why are you coming to me for this?" I felt a little unhappy.
"The Kingdom of Zhao sent envoys to express their goodwill and presented several beauties to the emperor." The old man's words became increasingly boring. Liu Yu's face dropped a lot, but when he heard that the beauty was in front of him, her true nature was revealed. "Oh, are there any beautiful women from my Yin Kingdom?" He casually brushed the hair of the beauty next to him.
"I think Zhao Guo is indeed interested."
"Okay, let's leave it in the Chuxiu Pavilion for now. If I think of it another day, we can discuss it. Let's stop here today. I'm tired." Liuyu yawned lazily, not letting His Highness the old man continue. Talk more nonsense.
The fat fat on his face trembled slightly, and his lips twitched, "Yes, I will take my leave." Then he slowly walked down the hall.
"Your Majesty, come here, take one more..." Concubine Lan's slender jade fingers climbed to his sexy lips, full of bewitching meaning.
"Bang--" He suddenly and harshly pushed the pretty girl beside him away, letting her sweep away the pearl-like grapes on the desk and fall to the ground in a helter-skelter manner.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Faced with the sudden violence, Concubine Lan's eyes were full of fear, but she also felt aggrieved.
"Have you entered Yuqingyuan?" His eyes were much sharper, completely different from the revelry he had just now.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have mercy on me. I just saw that the flowers in the garden were blooming just right, so I couldn't help but go in and pick some grapes. Didn't Your Majesty just say that the grapes I picked were sweet?" She didn't understand why Your Majesty.
Treating her like this, these days, she has always been the most favored concubine of the emperor. She is always careful and tries to please her in every possible way.
"Did you turn a deaf ear to my words? I said that no one is allowed to enter the Yuqing Garden!" He almost roared, and the fierceness in his eyes became even deeper.
"Your Majesty, I will never dare to take this life again. I beg Your Majesty to please calm down." Poor Concubine Lan crawled up to him with tears in her eyes and begged. She had fallen hopelessly in love with the handsome young man in front of her and was enjoying herself.
With his tenderness and caress.
"Come here, throw Concubine Lan into the cold palace." His ordinary words made her heart feel gray and she fell to the ground. He didn't even bother to look at her, so he crossed over from her.
With an expressionless face, he snorted, "Another self-righteous woman!"
"Hey...if I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place?" Eunuch Qian, the eunuch manager who had been serving Liu Yu for a long time, Qian Kunda, ordered his servants to pull Concubine Lan down. He couldn't help but sigh, "This Yuqing Garden is a forbidden area of the palace.
"How many empresses and nobles are so proud of their favors that they insist on exploring the garden out of curiosity, but it's a pity that they only harm themselves..." Eunuch Qian muttered to himself, there is another poor person in this cold palace.
Son.
On the Zhaoguo side, they bribed Guo Qian with a lot of money, and finally got the King of Yin, Jing Sa Liuyu, to come to the Zhaoguo military camp for secret talks.
A square table with carved dragons connected two equally high-ranking people together. The soldiers beside them also carefully watched the master's face while doing things, and they were at war with each other. The maid who served the wine was more relaxed, and she kept making secret glances all night long.
How many times have I known this? It’s no wonder that it’s rare to see such a handsome person in the world. It’s as if all the best men in the world have been summoned here, including the charming Shangguan Lord, the majestic Emperor, and the extremely handsome Yin Guo.
emperor.
Maid A, "Hey, do you think it is our emperor who is more handsome, or the king of Yin?"
Maid B looked admiring, "Let me tell you, he's not even as good-looking as Shangguan Chu. Our left prime minister is so handsome that even women can be jealous."
Maid C, "I think the emperor is better. He is good-looking and very kind. People say that our emperor is kind-hearted and considerate of the people. That is the real good emperor!"
The maid Ding wiped the drool that almost flowed all over the floor, "The King of Yin is so young and handsome..."
…
Girls are pregnant with spring, and everyone has their own concerns.
In the quiet curtain, there was finally some noise. Sitting on the right side of the main seat was a lazy man wearing a white coat with gold-inlaid sleeves and a small piece of zircon-like shining diamond exposed on his waist.
, plus a red waistcoat,
His long hair was tied up in a white jade headband. He was brightly enchanting and handsome. He gently raised the Zhaoguo royal wine glass in his hand, put it to his mouth, sipped lightly, and raised his handsome eyebrows, "The daughter of Zhaoguo is so red."
Very drunk——"
A word that was neither salty nor bland broke the silence.
Not long after, young dancers covered in tulle came in lightly, the music played, and they danced gracefully to the beautiful melody. Jing Sa's glazed eyes tasted wine and admired the beauty with interest, and a smile appeared on her beautiful lips. meaning.
Seeing that Long Chang also gave Guo Qian a wink, the Prime Minister of Yin State leaned into Liu Yu's ear and whispered in understanding. Liu Yu's smile gradually widened, and then he laughed heartily, "If it is said that the beauty of Yin State is like a rose, Delicate and beautiful, the beauties of Zhao Kingdom can be said to be like lotus flowers after the rain, so pure..." Liuyu joked.
Long Chang also answered calmly.
"Thank you, Lord Zhao, for your hospitality, and--" He glanced at the man opposite, who was drinking leisurely. "Thanks for the kindness of Shangguan Zuoxiang." The light flashed past.
Long Chang also responded calmly, "The State of Zhao hopes to form an alliance with the State of Yin and have good relations from generation to generation."
After waiting for so long, I finally got to the point, "This is natural. Yin Zhao is a friendly neighbor to begin with, but..."
Everyone in the tent frowned, waiting for the next step.
Glancing around, the man's eyes were focused on the dancer, never looking at him. Liuyu's eyes flashed with a little spark, "It's just that Emperor Zhao doesn't seem to be sincere enough." His voice gradually became lower, "I heard that Zhao Huang The women of the country are as beautiful as immortals, but the beauties presented to me by the State of Zhao are a bit disappointing..." Since everyone knew that the Emperor of the Yin State was a womanizer, why would he become a drunkard and womanizer again?
Long Chang also knew in his heart that these were clearly provocative words. All the women he presented to the Yin State were the most beautiful beauties in a thousand. When they came to him, they turned into worthless and despicable women. He suppressed the inner fire in his heart. , "Oh? Then what Emperor Yin said earlier, "The beauties of Yin State are as delicate as roses, and the beauties of Zhao State are like lotus flowers after the rain", seems to be a compliment to the women of Zhao State?" The curtain was filled with the smell of fire.
"Haha..." Liu Yu suddenly burst out laughing, "It seems that Emperor Zhao has misunderstood what I mean. The women of Zhao Kingdom are naturally as beautiful as immortals, which is worthy of the name, but - I am from the Yin Kingdom." "Dignified king, in the eyes of the kings and ministers of Zhao State, am I only worthy of being with these singing girls and prostitutes?" The voice became increasingly fierce. Long Chang also looked at Shangguan Chuque who was drinking happily beside him. It seemed that he was quite intoxicated tonight, and Forgetting to take a look at Guo Qian, the Prime Minister of the Yin State, the old man also had a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know what was going on with Jing Sa Liuyu tonight, and suddenly said something critical. Long Chang also said in a serious voice, "Emperor Yin, you have It doesn't matter what you say." Without looking at him, Liuyu's eyes flashed with some sparks. "It's just that Emperor Zhao doesn't seem to be sincere enough." His voice gradually became lower. "I heard that the women of Zhao Kingdom are as beautiful as immortals, but... The beauties presented to me by the State of Zhao were a bit disappointing..."
