One Hundred and Twenty Acts [The Nations] (Part II)

If the fire in Dianxing City burned the only way for the Mo Kingdom to support Yaoguang and Liuyun City, then the heavy snow in Jibei at this moment has added great difficulty for the Dongji countries to block the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom.

For the four countries of Mo, Yan, Luo and Qi, which live in the temperate climate of the south, the winter in Jibei cannot be described as just "cold". If there was no "warm lamp", and without waiting for the army of the Thousand Thunder Country or the Shu Country to come, the people of the Mexican Kingdom who were currently stationed in Yaoguang and Liuyun City would have frozen to death in this cold winter.

When Moyi Cassia learned from the Zhenfu Division that Yun Fan first slaughtered the city, then burned the city, and used a fire to solve the 30,000 blood-feathered night crows he sent to support, Moyi Cassia immediately swung his sword to cut off the table case to vent his resentment.

After that, Moyi Cassia learned from the pain and wrote nearly 100 letters to his uncle Xuanyi Wujian who was far away in the imperial capital, and tried to get his uncle to ask the Son of Heaven to order the Dongji princes to send troops to Jibei to support on the grounds of the invasion of Xiji Qianlei Kingdom.

Although today's Ji Dynasty is divided into two Ji, East and West, whether it is Xiji or Dongji, in addition to the big countries such as Dongji Qixiong and Xiji Eight Pillars, there are still more than 100 small vassal states at the junction of countries. The size of these vassal states was equivalent to the current county and village level.

However, due to the rise of the Seven Heroes of Dongji and the Eight Pillars of Xiji, the lands and resources that should have belonged to these small vassal states were gradually divided among these powerful vassal states. Eventually, the vast majority of these small vassal states were reduced to vassals of the Great Powers, and a very small number were in the midst of a vacillation.

Moyi Cassia hopes that through Xuanyi Wujing, he will ask the Son of Heaven to mobilize these small vassal states to help Moxican at such a time, and take the opportunity to win over some small vassal states that are swinging, as well as those vassals of other countries bordering other Mexican countries, in the name of "Dongji Righteousness".

Of course, Xuanyi Wujian understands this, but he will not let Moyi Cassia do this. Because, if Moyi Cassia does this, it is equivalent to encroaching on the interests of other vassal states, which will make Moxi become the target of public criticism.

However, at the moment, there is no other way for the ink cassia to be seen.

Soon after he learned the bad news about Yunfan's slaughter and burning of the city from the town government department, the news that Yan Guo and Qi Guo sent troops to Jingwei Pass also reached his ears as soon as possible. He understood that Liang Yi and Chu Qi did not want to make a clear statement on this matter, although what they are doing now is actually equivalent to saying that they do not want to participate.

At present, Xia Guogong Ao Chun has not made any moves.

In fact, Ao Chun had already sent troops to the vicinity of Mingyue City, and there was also a "missing" general from his Mexican country in the army, but due to the snow sealing in the northern part of the Jibei region, Moyi Cassia did not know these important information related to the battle situation.

In addition, Luo Guogong Ling Wujian and Han Guohou Wenxuan also have no clear attitude. After returning from the first battle of Jingweiguan, Ling Wujian, the Duke of Luoguo, did not ask about the affairs of the court, and all the affairs in the country were handed over to his sister Ling Xijiu to be responsible. As for the public news of the Han State, since the "Chiyan Rebellion", it has formed a life-and-death alliance with the Xia State, as long as the Xia State expresses its position, the Han State will inevitably follow immediately. The outside world seems to be two countries, but their past experiences have long made them like a family.

Moyi Cassia wanted to pass the order of the Son of Heaven to see what the last three princes of the great powers who had not yet expressed their stance would do. The situation in Jibei made him unable to wait any longer, from the time he learned that Yunfan had slaughtered the city and burned the city, he wrote nearly 100 letters to Xuanyi Wujian, hoping that through Xuanyi Wujian's words to the Son of Heaven, Liang Yi would be bypassed, and the Son of Heaven would order the princes of various countries to reinforce Jibei.

Just like the last time the Mexican State tore up the Jingwei Pass Alliance and launched an invasion of the Shu State without authorization, as a result, when Liang Yi asked the Son of Heaven to mediate the matter, Xuanyi Wujian argued with Liang Yi on the grounds of "old grudges", thus forcing Liang Yi to fail to prevent the occurrence of this war in time.

The same trick, Moyi Cassia wants to use it a second time. However, this time the situation is completely different from the last one. As a person in the "bureau", Mo Yi Cassia can't see the current situation clearly, but he tries his best to break the "game", and the scheming Xuanyi knows very well what the consequences of doing this will be.

So after thinking about it a few times, Xuanyi Wujian asked Moyi Cassia to wait quietly, while he secretly had an unknown secret meeting with the head of the Qianyu clan who recently came to the imperial capital to meet the Son of Heaven, Qianyu Yanyun.

Since Yue Feiyan formed an alliance with Xuanyi Wuji, some things that were not allowed were also supported by Xuanyi Wujian during this period. More and more secret passages were built by Yue Feiyan himself, leading from outside the palace to inside the palace. This also allowed Xuanyi Wuji, who was under Liang Yi's strict surveillance, to pass through these secret passages unconsciously and go out of the palace at night.

Of course, Xuanyi Wuji's support for Yue Feiyan's cultivation of these secret paths must be more than just to avoid Liang Yi's surveillance. If it is just to avoid people's eyes and ears, it is enough to build one or two, so many secret passages must be in preparation for more important plans.

On the night of October 31.

When Zhang Meng met Liang Yi privately in Uncle Fang's mansion through the secret passage provided by Yue Feiyan. The Xuanyi Wuji, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, also during this period, secretly met with a thousand feathers and smoke clouds disguised as men in the Yanyu Building through the secret passage.

Time flies by. It has been two years since the last time Qianyu Yanyun saw Xuanyi unstained. At that time, Qianyu Yanyun had fled to the Luo country with the remnants of the Qianyu clan, and Xuanyi Wujian was also taking the Son of Heaven with Jing Xuan and Liang Yi to meet the current Luo country lord Ling Wujian under her recommendation.

At this time, it was drizzling outside the window. In the ambiguous candle shadows, Xuanyi Wujian looked at the woman in front of him in surprise, and for a while he couldn't believe that she was the thousand feathers of smoke he knew. Her fair complexion and long black hair are coiled in the crown of her hat, but it is difficult to hide her willow eyebrows and curly eyelashes, which is rare for women in the world. With a tall nose bridge, a thin face, and a demeanor that shows the spirit of a famous aristocratic son.

Outside the house, several ninth-order peak martial artists guarded the gate and did not let anyone approach. As a result, a drunken brown-haired man bumped into these ninth-order peak martial artists during this period. Then, the drunken brown-haired man was thrown out by the warriors. directly smashed the freshly built flower stand in the hall. In the noise, Yue Feiyan walked slowly from the shadows, and motioned to the little servants in the Yanyu Building to clean up the scene.

Inside the house, Xuanyi Wujian frowned and looked at Qianyu Yanyun for a long time, and then said slowly: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the proprietress would not lose any family son when she wore men's clothes." ”

"Boss lady" is the ridicule of Ling Wujian, the lord of the Luo country, to the thousand feathers and clouds. Back then, Ling Wujian personally went to the border of the Shu Kingdom to greet Qianyu Yanyun and led the Qianyu clan to move to Luoguo, and let go out to marry her as the wife of the lord of Luoguo.

Luoguo started by selling silk, and when Tianqiong City was not yet famous in the world, Luoguo was the center of commerce in the world. Ling Wujian compares Luoguo to his "career", and refers to himself as a "boss", while Qianyu Yanyun is regarded as a "boss lady".

Of course, in the end, Thousand Feathers Yanyun did not agree to Ling Wujian's "joke". However, the nickname "boss lady" has also spread all over the world since then. In fact, it was precisely because of Ling Wujian's "joke" that Qianyu Yanyun was able to take root in the country for many years. Compared with the aftermath of those years, Ling Wujian can be called "wise and foolish".

"Polite words are avoided, Chitose can say what he wants to say. Qianyu Yanyun took a sip of tea in the cup, but did not raise his eyes to look at Xuanyi without immaculateness. Xuanyi smiled innocently and sat opposite the thousand feathers of smoke and clouds.

More than half a month ago, Yue Feiyan received Yun Fan who "came from afar" in this room. And now, Qianyu Yanyun is sitting in the position of "Yun Fan", which she hates, and is having the next secret conversation with Xuanyi Wujian who is sitting in Yue Feiyan's position.

"Right now, the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom is imminent, and the old man wants to trouble the proprietress to do him a favor. Xuanyi Wujian paused, staring at the change in the expression of Qianyu Yanyun between words, and then said, "For the entire Dongji." ”

At this time, there was a thunderous sound outside the window, which shocked Xuanyi Wujian and almost knocked over the teacup in his hand. This scene provoked Qianyu Yanyun to smile faintly: "I don't know if this favor that Chitose said is for the entire Dongji, or for the Mo country that is about to lose its foothold in the north of Ji?"

Xuanyi Wujian listened to it, and said with a smile: "It's not only for Dongji, but also for the country of Mexico." ”

"Tell me, how do you want me to help. Qianyu Yanyun didn't say anything about it, but wanted to see what kind of plan this elderly man would have next, to relieve the siege of the now "isolated" Mo country.

Xuanyi is innocent: "The old man wants to trouble the proprietress to write a letter to Ao Chun, the lord of the Xia Kingdom, with the bloodline branch of the Dongji Emperor Clan, as well as the identity of the restoration hero, ask the Xia Kingdom to come to the aid of Jibei and help the Mo Kingdom repel the invading Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom, and afterwards the Mo Kingdom is willing to give Yaoguang and Liuyun two cities with both hands!"

After hearing this, Qianyu Yanyun frowned: "It is a matter of the interests of the two countries, the trend of Dongji, can Chitose's words represent the Marquis of Mexico?"

Xuanyi Wujian hesitated: "In the early years, someone said that the Xuanyi clan in the imperial capital and the Moyi clan in the Mo country actually came from the same bloodline. Presumably the proprietress must have heard this rumor. ”

Qianyu Yanyun: "Chitose is trying to say that the Marquis of Mo is actually not surnamed Moyi but surnamed Xuanyi, right?"

Xuanyi is innocent: "Cassia is actually an old nephew. This secret has been hidden in the heart of the old decay for some years, as long as the old decay denies it, no one can prove that the ink cassia has anything to do with the decay. ”

"It seems that Chitose spent a lot of thought in order to make the Marquis of Mo not be implicated in the rebellion of the Xuan Kingdom. Qianyu Yanyun said lightly, "So Chitose plans to put these past events on the table as bargaining chips, right?"

Xuanyi is innocent: "I hope that the proprietress can pull the strings for the old decay, and remember that my nephew once saddled for Dongji in the battle of Jingwei Pass, and went to the soup to fight the fire." Please ask the Lord of Xia to send reinforcements to fight the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country. ”

"No matter what the relationship between Moyi Cassia and Chitose is, this is a family matter of Chitose, and the little woman doesn't want to ask. Chitose now tells the little girl this secret that everyone has already tacitly knew, and to be honest, it can't impress the little girl. Between the words, Qianyu Yanyun sipped the tea lightly, and then said, "Besides, in the early years, Xuanguo rebelled, and it was Xia Guo who directly provoked, and then Shuguo, and now Chitose will turn this past on the table again, not afraid that Xia Guo will take the opportunity to settle old accounts with Chitose?"

"Now that the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom has invaded Jibei, once they uproot the strength of the Mexican State in Jibei, I believe that the Su Kingdom will soon make a statement. In the game of nations, there have never been eternal friends or eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Speaking of this, Xuanyi Wujian paused, did not finish his words, and continued, "Previously, Yun Fan had returned to the kingdom of Shu. His character, compared to the boss lady, you know better than me, when the time comes, Xia Guo will only rely on his own strength, not to mention whether they can recover the entire Jibei, their own territory is likely to be threatened in the process. ”

Qianyu Yanyun pondered: "The invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom is only the first step. This is well known. From the geographical point of view, Xia Kingdom is actually located to the east of Jibei. Strictly speaking, Xia is located on the edge of Jibei and does not belong to Jibei. ”

Xuanyi is innocent: "However, the snow that is now blocking Jibei has also cut off the Xia Kingdom from us." Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Xia Guo belongs to Jibei or not, the important thing is that even if the armies of the countries are successfully assembled, it will be difficult to break into this unexplained snowstorm, and only Xia Guo can change the current pattern of Jibei. ”

"Since the Great Snow is now sealed, how can Chitose deliver the letter I wrote to the Lord of the Xia Kingdom?" Qianyu Yanyun wondered, "Time waits for no one!"

"That's why tonight the old man invited the proprietress to meet here. Xuanyi Wujian continued, "As long as the proprietress is willing to help the old man, if the boss lady has anything to do with the old man in the future, the old man will definitely do her best to help." ”

Qianyu Yanyun smiled: "I don't want anything. ”

Xuanyi Wujian listened, and suddenly smiled and asked, "Is it?"

At this time, the sound of drizzle outside the house was mixed with thunder.

Qianyu Yanyun frowned: "What do you mean by this?"

Xuanyi said in a deep way: "If the proprietress really doesn't want anything, why would she secretly send her own sister to Mingyue City, which is in danger at the moment?"

After hearing this, Qianyu Yanyun suddenly realized, so he suddenly put down the cup and asked the man in front of him: "Xuanyi is unclean, you actually sent someone to spy on me?"

"Speaking of surveillance, it's serious. It's more about caring. Xuanyi Wujian watched the tea in the cup spill on the table, and did not feel panicked at all. He gently wiped the tea spilled on the table for Qianyu Yanyun, then poured tea for her, and said slowly: "All along, the goals of the old man and the proprietress are actually the same. We all want that the country can be destroyed, and there is no place for Yun Fan to die. ”

Between the words, this man's originally gentle gaze suddenly turned into an undisguised killing intent when he mentioned Shu Guo and Yun Fan. For this change in him, the thousand feather smoke clouds, who were already a little angry, suddenly didn't know how to react. She had never seen Xuanyi Wujian show such a look, after all, in her eyes, Xuanyi Wujian was just a powerful eunuch, and she was a branch of the emperor's family, and when the emperor saw it, she had to shout "sister".

For the surprise of the thousand feathers of smoke and clouds, Xuanyi Wujian didn't care. With one hand behind his back, he picked up the cup he had just poured for Thousand Feathers Smoke Cloud, and drank it all, ignoring any reaction from Thousand Feather Smoke Cloud.

After that, he listened to Xuanyi Wujian continue: "What are you doing when you send Qianyu Fenghua to Mingyue City, in fact, I don't care. But I know that at this moment, she must still be in this Bright Moon City. Now that the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom has appeared on the land of Jibei, you can completely choose not to help me, but when the Thousand Thunder Kingdom takes the two cities of the Mo Kingdom in Jibei, do you guess whether Yun Fan will surrender with the Shu Kingdom? Will the Xia Kingdom watch from the sidelines or fight side by side with the Shu Kingdom? It is said that the army of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom has 100,000 people, and the Black Heaven Sect disciples who have incarnated as the secret masters of the Tianwu Kingdom are accompanying them. On the night of October 21, they had a bloody battle with the army of the Shu Kingdom outside Mingyue City, the Thousand Thunder Kingdom lost a hundred cavalry and war bears, and the thousand frost swords that the Shu Kingdom rushed to fight were almost completely wiped out!"

Thousand Feather Yanyun retorted: "But the prince of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom has now fallen into the hands of the Su Kingdom, isn't it?"

Xuanyi smiled innocently: "Then what is Lei Che doing now? Lead the troops to attack Mingyue City and save his son who he doesn't fight? No! He is continuing to march towards Yaoguang City! Lei Che, who is known as the "Wind and Thunder Twin Heroes" of Xiji, only has Wang Tu Hegemony in his eyes! From the moment his son was captured, this man has already treated his son as his own dead!"

Between the words, Qianyu Yanyun was silent, and she began to worry about the safety of her sister Qianyu Fenghua. According to Qianyu Fenghua's letter to her, after Qianyu Fenghua has solved Luyou and Zhou Kang, she will return to Luoguo. As a result, a heavy snow blocked the territory, and the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom appeared in Jibei earlier than expected, which caught everyone off guard!

Xuanyi Wujian sneered and continued: "There is not much time left for us. The proprietress couldn't bear to look at her sister and die in the snowstorm in Jibei like this?"

After thinking about it, Qianyu Yanyun picked up the teapot and filled it with tea for the Xuanyi Wujian who was waiting for her reply. She didn't raise her eyes to look directly into Xuanyi's innocent eyes, and said solemnly: "According to what you say, even in the current situation, you can save Feng Hua from leaving the kingdom of dreams?

Xuanyi Wuji: "Helping me is equivalent to helping yourself." ”

Thousand Feathers of Smoke: "I don't think that's enough. ”

Xuanyi is innocent: "The boss lady wants me to set up a certificate?"

Qianyu Yanyun: "After all, this matter is about my sister's life." ”

Xuanyi Wujian smiled, slowly took out half of the black ancient jade from his sleeve, and put it in front of Qianyu Yanyun, "This is the Yin and Yang ancient jade that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Xuan royal family, and Cassia Ming and I each have half of it." His royal brother Xuanyi, who inherited from me, is in charge of the military power in the country, and it is Yangyu. This one of mine, which can mobilize the rumored killer of "ghost fire", is Yin Jade. Now I will temporarily hand over this half of the ancient jade in my hand to the proprietress for safekeeping, is this sincerity enough. ”

Qianyu Yanyun picked up the ancient jade and looked at it for a long time by the flickering candle flame. She had heard rumors about this Yin Yang Ancient Jade a long time ago, but she didn't expect them to be true. In the end, the woman put the half of the ancient jade in her sleeve. Xuanyi Wujian smiled slightly, but listened to Qianyu Yanyun and said lightly: "Right now, the Seven Kingdoms of Dongji are in dire straits, and they urgently need a victory to make the nations work together, for this letter that is about to be sent to the hands of Xia Guogong, Chitose can think about what to write?"

"Please ask the proprietress to write and listen to me slowly. ”

Xuanyi stood with his hands in his hands, smiling rather than smiling.

Between the flickering candles, another thunderclap sounded outside the window.

With the continuous autumn rain, Xuanyi clapped his hands. But I saw a maid push open the door, bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared long ago, and carefully place it in front of the two, and then slowly retreated.

When the candle flame is lit up, the figure pen is fast.

In a noisy downtown area, in a pile of abandoned debris that no one pays attention to. Situ Zhong, who had changed his face, quietly took off his disguise after the little guys who threw him here in the Yanyu Building left. If it weren't for the fact that he was a practitioner himself, it is estimated that as soon as those ninth-order martial artists made a move, he would already be a waste.

After making sure that no one noticed him, Situ Zhong hurriedly disappeared into the night while the rain had not stopped. As everyone knows, in the deepest part of the night, Yue Feiyan was holding an umbrella in the rain, watching his embarrassed figure gradually disappear.
