Chapter 32: Procrastination
CHAPTER XXXII
"Your Highness. The guard outside the door suddenly came in and knelt down on one knee to salute Yelan, "Princess Beixuan is waiting outside the tent. ”
"Got it, you tell her to wait. Yelan waved his hand.
"Fourth brother...... You...... Won't really fall in love with ...... Cough. Ye Fan looked at Ye Lan with a melon on his face.
"It's none of your business, get out. Yelan glared at him.
Yefan pouted helplessly and left obediently. When he came out of the big tent, he casually glanced at Lie Beiyao, who was standing outside the tent and waiting, his eyes were straight, and he smashed his mouth and said, "It is worthy of the fourth brother's attention, and sure enough, the country is beautiful and fragrant." The first place in Kyushu is well deserved. ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please. The guard made a "please" gesture to Princess Beixuan, and Lie Beiyao nodded and walked into Yelan's big tent.
"Your Highness the Princess. Yelan nodded at her. - There are outsiders here, and he doesn't dare to go too far.
"His Royal Highness the King of Light. Lie Beiyao smiled at him. Today, Lie Beiyao was wearing a red military uniform, which was specially tailored for her by the embroidered girl in the Yelan Life Palace, but she didn't expect to wear it on her like a fairy.
Dressed in red, her fair skin is beautiful. The hair was scattered and draped over the shoulders, tied with a purple and gold crown, and it looked heroic. Yelan's pupils dilated suddenly, and his eyes showed praise, but he restrained himself for only a second and retracted his pupils.
Yelan nodded, and couldn't help but secretly say in her heart that she had a good eye, and she could see at a glance that the red clothes were the most suitable for her, and this red clothes were ...... is like a fairy descending to earth, Lie Beiyao is in his heart, she is the fairy sent to him by God.
"Is there anything wrong with the princess?" Yelan began.
"Today, those noble sons are clamoring to set up camp, and His Royal Highness the King of Light has agreed, I don't think this is His Highness's style. "Liebei Yao Road.
"I do want to slow down. Yelan didn't hide it.
"So Your Highness is pushing the boat with the current. Lie Beiyao's tone was very calm, and he couldn't hear any reproach or other emotions mixed in there.
"Yes. Yelan nodded, "Are you worried about Yeshu? You don't have to worry about this, the battle on the front line is stable, and our reinforcements don't matter to him." ”
"I am worried about the relationship between His Royal Highness King Qi and His Royal Highness Ye Shu. Lie Beiyao saw through it at a glance.
"I'm just worried that Ye Shu will assassinate Ye Fan. I didn't plan to take him on the expedition, but he asked his father to accompany him, and I couldn't help it. Not to mention that it is also a beautiful thing to enjoy the scenery along the way. Yelan replied.
"His Royal Highness the King of Light has good intentions. "Liebei Yao Road.
"I thought the princess was here to question me. I thought the princess was going to rebuke me. Yelan smiled.
"Your Highness is too worried, I will not interfere in His Highness's affairs. "Liebei Yao Road.
It's too similar...... Yelan's pupils shrank and shrank again. She is too much like herself......
If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. You have to remember that you belong to you and you don't have to explain everything to others.
But if you don't want to say it, don't be embarrassed, I don't mind. You are also not obligated to explain to me that we are equal.
"What's wrong with you?" Lie Beiyao shook his hand in front of Yelan's eyes.
"It's fine. Yelan came to his senses, he smiled and shook his head, "The army is tired, take advantage of the camp, and have a good rest." ”
"Hmm. In Beixuan, I often went out with my brother to fight against the enemy, and I adapted well to this kind of military life. Lie Beiyao nodded.
"That's fine. Yelan said, "When you arrive in Tianshun City in a while, I will take you into the city to play." ”
"Good. ”
......
At this time, the Haria Governor's Mansion in the Eastern Combat Zone, Ye Shu sat in the Governor's Mansion, and Shen Kuo, the king of Xichang, sat on the second chair with a calm gaze.
"Returning to His Royal Highness King Gong, His Royal Highness King Xichang. A general arched his hand, "The battle on the front line is not favorable to our side, and General Li's army was ambushed at Binghe and the whole army was annihilated. More than half of the three corps and the four corps were killed and wounded, and they were all ambushed on the way to reinforcements, and those who were killed fled in embarrassment. ”
"Rubbish!" Ye Shu stood up, and the generals lowered their heads in fright. Ye Shu glared angrily, his brows furrowed, "The Central Army is my Jiuchen's elite troops, how can it be so vulnerable!"
"Back to Your Highness, we ...... Unfamiliar with the terrain, coupled with the fact that the imperial dynasty has been peaceful for many years, the central army has long been slack, and its combat effectiveness is ...... Naturally slightly weaker than the rebels......" The general's voice became smaller and smaller, and the beads of sweat on his forehead spread densely.
"Your Royal Highness King Gong, I can't blame them for this matter. Shen Kuo, the king of Xichang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "The deployment of reinforcements is decided by you, and you are the first to bear the brunt of this responsibility." ”
Ye Shu turned around, a cold light appeared in his eyes, he smiled, and replied to King Xichang in a strange tone, "This matter has been discussed with King Xichang. When this king first went to the battlefield, he didn't understand military affairs, and His Excellency the King of Xichang ...... You're a veteran, how can you not understand......"
Ye Shu deliberately lengthened the tail note.
The contradictions between the two are known to the whole army, and everyone dare not interfere, and at this time, the two meet each other again.
Since His Highness said so, Shen is willing to take responsibility. Shen Kuo nodded unexpectedly, got up and slowly approached Ye Shu, "Shen Kuo is old and frail, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take on the role of coach." Willing to let Xian hand over the boss to His Royal Highness King Gong. Shen took a back seat and no longer cared about the military. ”
Ye Shu wanted to monopolize the power, but he didn't expect King Xichang to agree so easily. Ye Shu inherited his father's suspicious temperament, Shen Kuo's treacherous and cunning man was so easy to relax, who could guess what his idea was behind his back.
"That's not what the king meant. Ye Shu smiled with him, "My father asked the king to follow the king of Xichang to practice, and the military naturally needs the guidance of His Excellency the king of Xichang. Please also ask the king of Xichang not to see the sin. ”
"His Royal Highness King Gong is polite. Shen Kuo smiled, "Since His Royal Highness insisted on letting the minister preside over the military transfer, the minister ordered that the Fifth Army be used as a reinforcement and the Sixth and Seventh Army would be auxiliary, starting from the eastern city of Hariyah and going to the battlefield through the mountain road trail to reinforce the commander of the Central Army and the 50,000 troops of the Central Army. ”
Ye Shu smiled, but there was suspicion in his heart. - The commanders of the Fifth Army, the Sixth Army, and the Seventh Army are all people placed by Yeshu, and these three legions are equivalent to Yeshu's escort corps, just in case of emergency. And the trapped Eighth Army and the Ninth Army are the people planted by the night, saving them, it will not do them any good at all, but if they don't save them......
Hai Shengyue, the commander of the Central Army, is a close confidant of his father, and if something happens to him, his father will definitely blame himself. And if it is obstructed, the crime will be even more implemented, Shen Kuo is really an old treacherous and cunning, he knew that this was the case, and he should have pushed the boat down the river just now......
"Since the king of Xichang said so, then do as the king of Xichang wants. Ye Shu agreed with a smile
"Pass my order, let the Fifth Army, the Sixth Army, and the Seventh Army gather immediately and set out for reinforcements. Shen Kuo ordered.
......
Out of the governor's chamber, Ye Shu angrily broke into the study, slammed the door shut, frightened the attendants guarding outside, and fled in fright.
The masked man stood in the center of the study, and when Ye Shu saw the strange man, his face was much softer, and his tone was softened.
"Master. This voice suppressed half of the anger in my heart.
The man turned. He is Ye Shu's master, the same door Nan Xuanji who is the commander of the Second Division of the Iron and Blood Army.
"Your Highness seems to be angry?" Nan Xuanji's voice was cold.
"Shen Kuo, that old thing is going to transfer the 5th, 6th, and 7th Army!" Ye Shu was furious.
His Highness promised him. Nan Xuanji said coldly.
"Huh?" Ye Shu didn't understand what he meant.
"Your Highness does as he says, if something happens to the 5th, 6th, and 7th Army, you can fabricate charges and report it to the emperor. ”
"I see. Ye Shu nodded, "Since the master said it, then I will naturally do it, but the fifth, sixth, and seventh armies are all elite guards around me, and when they leave, the safety of this king ......."
"Don't worry about it. Nan Xuanji said coldly, and disappeared after finishing his words.
"Master?" Ye Shu called softly.
......
Outside the Governor's Palace, a masked man stood here, his whole body exuding coldness. Nan Xuanji walked out of the gate, saw the man at a glance, the man also saw him, turned around and left, Nan Xuanji followed the man, and the two entered a restaurant. As soon as the shopkeeper saw the masked man, the whole person paused, quickly withdrew his smiling face, and glanced at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper saw the two of them in that direction, and hurriedly greeted them, "Nan Gongzi." ”
"Clearer. The masked man said.
The shopkeeper immediately accompanied the smiling face to send the guests out of the restaurant, and hung the closing sign on the door.
"Miyakage. Nan Xuanji spoke. The masked man removed his veil, revealing his appearance. - He is Nangong Ying, the commander of the second division under Emperor Zhaoning.
"What's the matter?" Nangong Ying began.
"Get rid of the 5th, 6th, and 7th armies. Nan Xuanji said briefly.
"King Gong is your apprentice, even if you don't care about this, he is our cousin, you ...... What kind of calculations?" Nangong Ying was puzzled.
"Xuangong, father and mother, have you forgotten?" Nan Xuanji's eyes were sharp, Nangong Ying was stunned, and his face became pale. "Does it matter?"
"Only by getting rid of Ye Shu's henchmen and blaming the king of Xichang can he provoke a dispute between the two kings. Nan Xuanji explained simply, "This is what I want." ”
"I don't understand. Nangong Ying was very straightforward, "I can't do this." ”
Nan Xuanji narrowed his eyes, "Three people." ”
"Yes. Nangong Ying nodded.
"How's it going, Temple? Nan Xuanji asked.
"Found one or two. Nangong Ying replied, "This matter has not yet been reported to Your Majesty." ”
"Let's start with that. Nan Xuanji said.
"The current commander of the temple, Long Yaotian, is about eighteen years old, and he has been raised under Long Aoming's knees for two years. And the whereabouts of Long Ao's only daughter, Long Shuang, after leaving the temple, and the two henchmen were also found. If the news is correct, Long Shuang changed her name and entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine. ”
That is to say...... Long Yaotian is very likely to be a prince. Nan Xuanji smiled, "The eldest prince and the second prince are impossible, and the third prince is ...... It can't be either. Most likely to ...... It is the four princes and the five princes. ”
"King Light and King Qi should be good. Either of them will always know a little bit of information about the other, and this is easy to do, just knock on the side, or look it up. ”
"You just said that Long Yaotian had been raised under Long Aoming's knees for two years, and this matter is reliable. Nan Xuanji's pupils suddenly shrank, and he asked Nangong Ying very anxiously.
Nangong Ying nodded, but shook her head again. "Each prince was sent to the royal academy to study with the children of the nobility for a total of five years. And the matter of the whereabouts of the prince is very secret, and I must not ask about it without permission, otherwise it will alarm Your Majesty. ”
"It doesn't matter. Nan Xuanji said, "Since the object of suspicion is among the two princes of King Guang and King Qi, it will be much easier. ”
"By the way, there has been a change in Beijing, and Concubine Shu has been beaten into the cold palace. Nangong Ying said suddenly, "She is our cousin, do you want to ......?"
"Don't be troubled. Nan Xuanji stretched out his hand to stop, "But it will be useful to keep this matter." ”
"Three people, I will explain that they obey your orders, they are all dead soldiers, seven-grade masters. Nangong Ying said lightly, "There's nothing else, I'm going back to Beijing." ”
"Be careful. Nan Xuanji said to Nangong Ying.
Nangong Ying nodded, turned around and left the restaurant.
