Dongji Imperial Capital, Jingguang City,

Fangbo Mansion, early in the morning.

The man was not yet thirty,

But for some reason it's gray hair.

Today, he woke up early in the morning.

I don't know why, I've been restless lately. Even with a beautiful lady last night, I couldn't sleep soundly. At this moment, the light yarn was lying down, and the beauty was still sleeping soundly, but he was sitting next to the clear pond in this Fang Bo Mansion, looking at the koi in the pool, under the cover of the green lotus, competing to eat the bait he threw out, and his back was like a lonely old man.

Who would have thought that such a young man who seemed to be a lonely old man would unite the originally scattered Dongji countries into a force, and repelled the menacing Xiji Eight Pillars at Jingwei Pass.

However, it is such a beautiful man, but it is difficult for you to see a trace of the past scenery in his eyes at this moment. It seems that in his eyes, all living beings in this world are like koi fish in this pool, fish are bait, and people compete for fame and fortune.

Thinking of this, the man's eyes gradually became a little lonely, and inadvertently, his thoughts suddenly returned to a few years ago, when he still had nothing. At that time, he was just a down-and-out scholar teaching in a dilapidated library. And now, he is the lord of the cloth cloth country of the Qiguo Kingdom, and the uncle of the Dongji Dynasty.

Why does the world call him "the lord of cloth", because Liang Yi was born poor, originally a cloth cloth, and later won the appreciation of the original lord of Qiguo, Nangong Liuli, and regarded him as a confidant.

Nangong Liuli is not close to women in this life, the world thinks he likes men, and it is rumored that Liang Yi and Nangong Liuli had an ulterior past, so Nangong Liuli will entrust Qiguo to Liang Yi after his death.

It stands to reason that after the death of Nangong Liuli, the person who should inherit Qiguo should be Su Yi, the head of the Su family, the largest family in Qiguo at that time, but Su Yi followed Nangong Liuli's last wish, and tried to ensure that Liang Yi succeeded to the throne of Qiguo, and with the Ning family, another big family in Qiguo, those who were dissatisfied with Liang Yi were appeased and bloodily suppressed in two different ways.

So, under the joint cooperation of the two great families of Qiguo Ning and Su, a teacher from a humble background became the lord of Qiguo, and in the next few decades, he used the world as a chess game and turned the clouds and rain!

To be honest, even Liang Yi himself did not expect that a few years after he became the "lord of the cloth country", he would come to the imperial capital one day, live in such a luxurious mansion, and have an army dedicated to protecting him, let alone that he would become the chief of the princes of the Dongji countries above 10,000 people under one person, leading the seven powers of Dongji and Jingweiguan to defeat the Xiji invasion army.

Fate always likes to tease people who don't believe in fate.

The previous Liang Yi did not believe in fate,

Now he has to believe it.

When the breeze gently disturbs the locust trees in Fuchu, a few autumn leaves slowly fall into the pool. A white dove flew thousands of miles away and flew into Fang Bo's Mansion here, and then Ning Haochen hurriedly came uninvited, presenting the news that happened outside the imperial capital, and did not shy away from it at this time there was an unclothed woman sleeping soundly on Liang Yi's couch.

As the eldest son of the Ning clan of Qiguo, Ning Haochen, who has always been known as the "unparalleled national warrior", was deeply appreciated by Liang Yi. Because of his outstanding talent and extraordinary skills, when Liang Yi decided to enter the imperial capital, Ning Haochen became the best choice to accompany him and solve problems for him.

Ning Haochen's footsteps were very light, lighter than the gust of wind that had just blown off the autumn leaves. Liang Yi knew that he was coming, but his eyes still fell on the pool.

"Be quiet, don't wake her up. Liang Yi said lightly. He didn't say this to pity Xiangxiang and cherish the jade, but he didn't want the woman on the couch to hear what he was talking to Ning Haochen next.

Ning Haochen whispered, "No." ”

Liang Yi: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Ning Haochen: "The Xiji Qianlei Kingdom is currently amassing troops north of Jingwei Pass, and the specific motive has not yet been clarified. ”

Liang Yi: "Pay close attention to the follow-up trends, and inform You Gu as soon as there is any trouble." ”

Ning Haochen: "In addition, the Duke of Yan has just left the imperial capital with his men. ”

"Calculate the time, the day after tomorrow seems to be the autumn festival of the wild goose country. Liang Yi said casually, "Although I left in a hurry, it is understandable, after all, time is tight." According to Chu Yan's temper in the past, he would not have been delayed in the imperial capital for so long, but this time it was a surprise to Gu. has been from the end of the First World War in Jingweiguan to this day. By the way, during Chu Qi's stay in Beijing, did he have any dealings with Xuanyi Wujian in private? ”

Ning Haochen: "As far as his subordinates know, Xuanyi Wujian has been accompanying His Majesty during this time, and he has no leisure time to have private dealings with the Duke of Yanguo. ”

"You say, will they be in front of His Majesty..."Liang Yi made the worst guess, but was quickly overturned by himself.

"Your Majesty relies on the lord of the country the most, if there is any ulterior secret between the Duke of Yan and Xuanyi, the lord will definitely notice it first. Ning Haochen seemed to see Liang Yi's concern.

"That's it, now that the overall situation has been decided, it can't make any waves if this Xuanyi is clean. Between the words, Liang Yi fell into memory, "Speaking of this autumn festival, I remembered that one year we climbed Fengming Mountain to worship the old lord, and happened to see the lively grand occasion of the autumn festival in the autumn leaves city of this wild goose country, even if it is thousands of miles away, this glance is really enviable." ”

"At that time, Dongji was still in chaos, and it seemed that there was only Autumn Leaf City in the wild goose country, which was safely avoided from the world. Ning Haochen pondered.

At that time, Lone was still in Qiguo. Liang Yi looked at the koi in the pond, and his thoughts gradually drifted away, "The prince of the wild goose country, Chu Yu, is the hero of the world." Although the festival is in a hurry, he just left without even saying hello, it is really unorthodox, and he is also a big country of etiquette, it is really ridiculous and generous!"

Ning Haochen: "The lord of the country should not be angry with himself because of such a trivial matter. ”

"Not really, Lone just envied him, envied that he had left the city. Liang Yi sighed, "Lone never thought that the imperial capital, which was once fascinated by everything, would now become a cage that trapped Lone. ”

Ning Haochen: "Lord, isn't the emperor good?" ”

"It's just so good that it turns the tiger into a tired cat, and makes the brave warrior full of fat. Liang Yi said with a smile, "Wine and beauty, wealth and glory, thousands of eyes, are just a dream." ”

"Ning Haochen. Between the words, Liang Yi turned his head and asked Ning Haochen, "Do you miss home?" ”

Ning Haochen: "The place where the lord of the country lives is his hometown. ”

"Flim, you weren't like that before. Liang Yi fell silent, and only after a long time did he slow down, "Now in Qiguo, is there anyone who still has objections to Su Yi taking care of political affairs for Gu Dai." ”

"Mr. Su has proved that the ruler of the country is as wise as a torch with his outstanding political achievements. Ning Haochen didn't look up, but he felt impeccable satisfaction from Liang Yi's tone.

"It is difficult to ask Su Yi about internal affairs, and Ning Haochen is undecided about foreign affairs. Without you, there would be no current Qiguo, let alone today. When he said this, he patted Ning Haochen's shoulder, and his deep eyes looked at Ning Haochen with a panicked face, "The lord of the country is serious, and his subordinates are just performing their duties and completing the things that the lord of the country has given orders." ”

"It's not good to be too modest. Liang Yi slowly withdrew his hand, but his eyes were still looking at the young man in front of him, "Looking at the world, there are experienced people like you at a young age, and you can't find a second one, although you will occasionally play a little smart, but the flaws are not hidden." ”

"To be appreciated by the lord of the country, Haochen is willing to die. ”

"Lone doesn't want you to die, Lone wants you to live well, watching the Ji Dynasty reunite again. Liang Yi put his hand in his sleeve, "At that time, Gu will take you back to Qiguo together." ”

"No. Ning Haochen waved his hand.

"Is there anything else? Liang Yi looked at the fish in the pond and asked.

Ning Haochen: "The spy has come to report that Yun Fan, the prince of the Su Kingdom, has returned to the country today, and has brought back more than 10,000 barbarian horsemen and nearly 6,000 Chiyan warriors, as well as the bloody eyes and frost hooves of the Shen Guo Zhenguo Divine Beast that has been missing for many years. ”

Liang Yi asked: "Can the news be true?" ”

Ning Haochen: "The message is confirmed. ”

"The timing of this Yun Fan's return is really too coincidental. Liang Yi took a deep breath, "The Bloody Eyes and Frost Hoofs of the Zhenguo Divine Beast of the Shuguo Kingdom, is it the Ice Giant Wolf that can freeze everything when it is angry?"

Ning Haochen: "Yes. ”

Liang Yi asked, "What is the reaction of the Su Guo Clan?" ”

Ning Haochen: "When Yun Fan returned, the lord of the state held a feast for him, and the heads of the clan at the banquet did not attend the banquet except for the head of the Lu family. And only one of the six generals from Hokuriku attended. In addition, Yun Fan's performance at the banquet was also mediocre, only when he entered the city, he made a lot of fanfare, and there was not much movement after that. ”

Liang Yi was puzzled: "Where did the rest of the six generals go?"

Ning Haochen said: "It is said that he is sick because he is not accustomed to water and soil. ”

Liang Yi smiled: "Check it out, I don't listen to it." ”

Ning Haochen said: "It's a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates!"

Liang Yi: "What is the origin of the head of the Lu family?" ”

Ning Haochen: "Dian Xingcheng, Lu Weiwen, ranked at the bottom of the Shuguo Clan, and fought against the Confucians at the banquet that night, and strongly supported the Yun Clan's royal power. All the bloodlines of the family died in the war between Mexico and Shu. It is the last blood of the Lu family. ”

Liang Yi was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that there were still people in Su Guoju who dared to openly support the Yun family." ”

Ning Haochen said: "Maybe it was because Yun Fan returned, so he began to stand in line. ”

Liang Yi said: "I can't rule out this possibility. ”

Ning Haochen: "It is said that when Yun Fan entered the city, the people of the country held two extreme attitudes towards his return, one was extremely disgusted, and the other was fanatically welcomed. ”

Liang Yi: "When this Yun Fan left the kingdom of Shu, he did not say goodbye, and the country fell into depression and chaos for a period of time because of his departure, after all, he was both the prince and the commander of Mingguang armor at that time. In the early years of the Shu Kingdom, there was an army called Mingguang Armor who was not afraid of death, and those people were all dead soldiers who were only loyal to Yun Fan. After Yun Fan left, it didn't take long for Mingguang Armor to start reforming, and then he couldn't afford it. Later, the Mingguang armor was inexplicably integrated into the weaving of the cold armor army of the Shu Kingdom. ”

"And then caused the mutiny after the Heavenly Fire Tribulation?"

"Yes, that mutiny indirectly created the first opportunity for Mexico to invade the country of dreams, so it is normal for someone to scold him. Now that he has returned with the army to save his country, it is reasonable for him to be welcomed. People's hearts are originally grass on the wall, moving because of the wind. I just don't know what kind of attitude these people would have if they knew about what he did in Hokuriku. Speaking of this, Liang Yi suddenly sneered, "Regarding Yun Fan's return, what is the trend of various countries." ”

"The Xia Kingdom, which originally planned to marry the Shu Kingdom, canceled the marriage policy and sent tens of thousands of blood tiger horsemen to be stationed near the Ming Moon City of the Shu Kingdom. There is no movement on the side of the Mexican Kingdom except for sending four killers into Bright Moon City. Ning Haochen reported.

Liang Yi: "You say, who are these killers going to kill? ”

"Previously, I was supposed to kill Yun Ji, the lord of the country, but now I should be going to kill Yun Fan. Ning Haochen continued, "As for whether you can succeed, that's another matter. ”

"Now that Yun Fan has been killed, Yun Ji is still the lord of the country. The Xia army stationed outside Mingyue City seemed to be waiting. Liang Yi was puzzled, "This ink clothes cassia is obviously to send a favor to Xia Guo?"

Ning Haochen: "The Marquis of Mo has always acted strangely, and it is very human to figure it out. ”

Liang Yi was puzzled: "How do you feel that he is always half a beat slower?"

"Maybe it has something to do with the timeliness of the news. Ning Haochen analyzed, "Today's situation in Dongji can be described as changing rapidly, although the Marquis of Mo is indecisive, but this is not the main reason why he missed the opportunity. The country of Mexico has always used night crows to convey information, and this night crow can only withstand the wind thousands of miles at night. If there is any bad weather at night, it is estimated that the news will come with the wind and go with the wind. ”

Liang Yi said: "Espionage is really a skill. ”

Ning Haochen: "There are always people who are born to do this." ”

Liang Yi smiled: "Are you praising yourself around the bend?"

"The lord of the kingdom is wise. Ning Haochen laughed, and Liang Yi laughed.

"I heard that Yun Fan not only found the disappeared Chiyan Warrior, but also found the Heavenly Longitudinal Tooth of the Divine and Demon Blade?" Liang Yi's eyes flashed with curiosity. "But there is such a thing. ”

Although it is rumored in the world, if you have the "Yixin Sword" or "Heavenly Longitudinal Teeth", you can sit on the world. However, there is no definite evidence that Yun Fan has found the Heavenly Longitudinal Tooth, and it is the legendary one. ”

"Go and check, find out. Liang Yi said lightly. "By the way, how long has it been since this Yun Fan came back. ”

Ning Haochen: "It's been more than a month now. ”

Liang Yi: "More than a month? Gu can't be the last person in the Dongji countries to know about this, right? Why did the news arrive so late?" ”

"A few of our spies buried in Bright Moon City had an accident a few days ago. Ning Haochen said, "At present, he is being detained in the prison of the Shu Kingdom as a fine work of the Mo Kingdom. ”

"It's so careless, more than a month, you can do too many things, and too many things can happen. Liang Yi sighed, "It's not good to let these people delay the big thing." ”

Ning Haochen: "It's the negligence of his subordinates, and he has failed to meet the expectations of the lord. ”

Liang Yi: "Don't take responsibility indiscriminately, Lone is not old yet." ”

Ning Haochen: "No." ”

Liang Yi: "The news from more than a month ago is of little value now, I want to know, is there any information about Yun Fan recently?"

Ning Haochen: "Since Yun Fan's return, the Chiyan Warrior has taken over the Frost Sword Forbidden and assumed the garrison of Bright Moon City, but other than that, he has not made any other moves. ”

Liang Yi: "If there's something wrong, go check it." ”

Ning Haochen: "My subordinates will do it." ”

"Wait. Liang Yi waved his sleeves and threw a bait in his hand into the pool, hit a koi fish that had just emerged, and said slowly, "Those secret agents who have been caught, since they have missed, don't leave them alive, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

Ning Haochen hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord of the Kingdom, among these spies, one of them is the second son of Zeng Xian, the secretary of our Qiguo Rite Department, Zeng Hui. ”

"Why did the second son of this Ministry of Rites Shangshu go to Shuguo to be an undercover agent?" Liang Yi looked at Ning Haochen suspiciously, "Are you deliberately causing trouble for Lone?"

"The lord of the country doesn't know that Zeng Xian's second son, Zeng Heng, is a concubine and has always been at odds with his father. Soon after his subordinates and the lord of the country came to the imperial capital, the second son of the Ministry of Rites came all the way to the imperial capital alone to find his subordinates and begged his subordinates to accept him. said that he wanted to make a career and prove to his father that he was underestimated. ”

"A poor boy who wants to win his father's approving gaze. Liang Yi sighed, "He went to Shuguo to be an undercover agent, did Zeng Xian know?" ”

Ning Haochen: "At present, except for the lord and his subordinates, no one else knows about this. ”

Liang Yi's words concealed murderous intentions: "I don't know when I am a father, how can you and Gu know?"

Ning Haochen understood: "My subordinates will do it. ”

"Next time, send someone who is smarter, and has no background in the past, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble. You also said that the current situation in Dongji is changing rapidly, and there is no room for delay. Liang Yi said that, and threw all the bait in his hand into the pool, attracting countless koi fish to compete for food.

"I almost forgot to ask, what has Luo Guogong been doing lately. Liang Yi patted the bait crumbs in his hand and said lightly.

"Since returning from the victory in Jingweiguan, Luo Guogong Ling Wujian has lived a very indulgent life every day. Ning Haochen thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that he couldn't find a more suitable word than indulgence to describe the daily life of Luo Guogong Ling without a sword.

"Indulgence?" Liang Yi suddenly became interested, "How do you say this." ”

Ning Haochen: "Sheng's songs are always accompanied by beautiful women, delicious wine and food, and neglect political affairs. Maybe he witnessed the tragedy of the battle at Jingwei Pass, so he decided to have fun in time?"

"Isn't it over just talking about the dogs and horses?" Liang Yi said disdainfully, "When did it become so difficult to talk to you." ”

"The subordinates are just thinking that this Luoguo Guild is not putting on a show to make us relax our vigilance against him. Ning Haochen said the worry in his heart, but was immediately denied by Liang Yi, "Others don't know, but Luo Guogong Ling Wujian can have today, it's not that he really has anything extraordinary." Ling Wujian was just lucky. Now he is the real him, Luo Guo can have those shrewd women under Ling Wujian today, and those women are the ones who really need to be vigilant and jealous, understand. ”

Ning Haochen: "My subordinates understand. ”

Liang Yi: "Go and send all the fine wines that Xia Guo sent to Ling Wujian, and then pick a few smart and trustworthy women and place them by his side. Now that we are on their territory, we must have a good relationship with them, and we must be like a family, so that when we really become our own family one day, it will not seem abrupt. ”

Ning Haochen: "No." ”

Liang Yi smiled: "By the way, remember to spread the that Yun Fan did when he was in Beilu later." Before, no one in the world knew that the new barbarian king of this sa department was Yun Fan, and now he especially wants to know what the world will think of this future lord of the kingdom when everyone knows about this matter. ”

Ning Haochen: "I will live up to the expectations of the lord of the country." ”

Between the words, Liang Yi suddenly remembered that woman.

The strange woman who stood up before Liang Yi and held high the banner of Kuangfu Dongji Dynasty. She used to be the head of the Thousand Feathers clan in Mirror Moon City in the Soul Country. After the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation", because he was dissatisfied with Yunchen's faction, he moved to Luoguo with the remnants of his clansmen. Later, he was regarded as a guest by Ling Wujian.

The alliance between the two countries was brought about by her.

Liang Yi came from a slightly cold background, and Ling Wujian, the lord of the Luo Kingdom, liked elegance.

Although Liang Yi had been enthroned as the lord of Qiguo at that time, because of his background, he was not treated well by the princes of other countries at first. Without the help of that woman, Liang Yi wants to form an alliance with Luo Guo, I am afraid that there will be some unnecessary bumps in the process.

"When you have time, remember to seal the books and scrolls that record the deeds of a thousand feathers and clouds, and by the way, erase all the rumors and rumors about her, now that she has gone into hiding, I don't want anything in this world to disturb her purity. Liang Yi's gaze was deep again, as if he was inadvertently immersed in the whirlpool of the past: "Especially after Yun Fan went to Beilu, Qianyu Yanyun went to find him alone, and he didn't want to hear anyone mention it anywhere in Dongji anymore." ”

Ning Haochen: "My subordinates understand. ”

"That's it, you go out first and let the next person prepare some food. Liang Yi glanced at the woman on the couch, and her originally deep gaze turned into indifference. The woman on the couch is not a thousand feathers of smoke, but she has an inextricable relationship with a thousand feathers of smoke.

In the blink of an eye, Liang Yi said lightly:

"I think she's waking up too. ”

Ning Haochen listened, silently waved his hands and bowed back, leaving Liang Yi alone to continue to sit alone by the clear pool. At this time, the autumn wind came from nowhere, sending a little light rain, sprinkled into the pool, causing ripples.

"It's another autumn festival," Liang Yi looked at the koi in the pond and then raised his eyes to look at the sky, and suddenly sighed, "This chaotic Dongji is about to change the sky again." ”
