Yin Qingcheng turned around and bowed to Chen Ping, "Over the years, General Chen and the generals have guarded the border, and their hard work is naturally self-evident, and so many years of war and chaos are also unspeakably miserable for the people. Wouldn't it be a blessing for the people if we could reduce the number of wars? ”

Chen Ping couldn't deny that what Yin Qingcheng said was very reasonable, but he was still not worried about what Yin Qingcheng said, "Lou Lan's wolf ambition, when we help him, who knows if he will bite back and turn his face and deny people." ”

"Then it depends on us to take advantage of this opportunity to invade Loulan's domestic economy. If the people of Lou Lan can no longer be separated from those transactions between us, then Lou Lan's backbite will not be a problem, because they don't dare. If we can use this method to subdue Guizi and other countries, we can naturally use the same method to control Zì Loulan. Yin Qingcheng said to Ji Xuanyuan, "Your Majesty, if we follow Lord An to Loulan this time, we may be able to fight for another guarantee for the border of Dachu." ”

Ji Xuanyuan frowned, "Actually, what Yin Qing said, I can also agree, but one point, I am not at ease." ”

Ji Xuanyuan paused, everyone was waiting for Ji Xuanyuan's next words, but Ji Xuanyuan glanced at An Sui without a trace before he spit out three words, "Murong Heng." ”

"What does the emperor mean?"

Ji Xuanyuan stood up, "I believe in your ability, and I also believe that Lou Lan can be subdued, but the only one who doesn't believe is Murong Heng, he is all variables." If Da Chu and Lou Lan wanted to establish foreign relations, Murong Heng would become the biggest obstacle in this matter. ”

An Sui's heart was cold, "Does the emperor want to persuade Murong Heng?" ”

In fact, the answer she wanted to say was not this, but she hoped that what Ji Xuanyuan said was not the answer she thought in her heart.

"My idea is that if I can't convince it, I don't have to convince it." Ji Xuanyuan said softly, "Yin Qing, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Yin Qingcheng nodded, "What the emperor means, Weichen understands." ”

An Sui wanted to refute, but was stopped by Ji Xuanyuan's look, she suddenly calmed down, how could she be confused. Although Murong Heng was her friend, Murong Heng was also the monarch of Lou Lan, how could she openly refute Ji Xuanyuan's words in order to defend the monarch of an enemy country?

Sure enough, when everyone dispersed, Ji Xuanyuan took the initiative to invite her to sit down beside her, "Why are you unhappy?" ”

An Sui shook his head, "Does it have to be like this?" ”

"Not necessarily. But if Murong Heng refuses to agree to live peacefully with Da Chu, then this matter will become a fact. Although my Great Chu is weaker than Lou Lan in terms of military and military strength, it does not mean that Great Chu has become a weak country. What's more, he tried to get his hands on the land of my Great Chu, starting with Hanjin Pass, he had a good idea, but it was a pity. ”

"Speaking of this sneak attack on Hanjin Pass, I suddenly thought of one thing, Murong Heng had sneaked into my Dachu territory from Hanjin Pass, and his explanation was to find the ghost doctor Du Lang, but I felt that things were not so simple. In recent years, because of the relationship between commercial ports, our household registration system is also very strict. He said that he killed a person and took that person's household registration to sneak in, if it was in the past, it was very possible, but after I came back, I inquired carefully, and now that I have taken the household registration, I also need to get a specific token and certificate to prove my identity. Moreover, Murong Heng's entry time was too ingenious, which he could not do alone. So I guessed in my heart that Murong Heng was able to win the Hanjin Pass so easily this time, could it be because of internal response? ”

"You have this conjecture too?"

"The emperor also has this idea?"

Ji Xuanyuan nodded, "Indeed, this time it was too easy for him to take the Hanjin Pass, and the time was also very good, before I issued a formal official order to deploy, Murong Heng had already received the information, and he could reach the Hanjin Pass in the shortest possible time, which has to make people suspicious." ”

When An Sui heard Ji Xuanyuan say this, he became even more worried, "Does the emperor have any ideas in his heart?" ”

Ji Xuanyuan nodded.

"Who's that?"

"This is not sure yet, and I can't make judgments, I can only hope that it is not her. Let's not talk about that. Ji Xuanyuan pretended to smile lightly, "I intend to let you go to Loulan again in person." ”

"Why, didn't you worry about me going before? What's more, if I go, you are not afraid that I will not be able to do anything to Murong Heng. Did it delay your plans? ”

"I'm worried! So you go, don't let your own temperament come in everything, I thought about it, let Yin Qingcheng go with you, and send a few more people to protect you. Lou Lan's trip, I don't have to bring you any good news, but you have to protect yourself, Mo Xie will also follow you, if there is anything, let Mo Xie come to sue me first. Don't act rashly, I will come to your rescue. ”

An Sui nodded, "Just like this time, right?" ”

Ji Xuanyuan smiled and hugged her into his arms, "Yes, no matter where you are, I will rush over to save you." ”

"This time it's a futile, go back and those old ministers will embarrass you again!" An Sui couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she thought of this, she understood Ji Xuanyuan's intentions, but the more this happened, the more uneasy she felt in her heart.

Ji Xuanyuan gently dropped a kiss on her forehead, "Have you remembered everything I said?" Be careful in everything you do. ”

An Sui responded, but suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, "Why did you suddenly say these words, thousands of instructions." She suddenly became alert, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”

Ji Xuanyuan shook his head, "I'm just worried...... Murong Heng. ”

An Sui held his hand, "Don't worry, Murong Heng...... He actually ...... I don't know, I think, at least he won't kill me. Rest assured, I will come back safely. ”

On the ninth day of December in the sixteenth year of Chiwu, An Sui and Yin Qingcheng and a group of guards disguised themselves as merchants and left the border of Dachu, and Lou Lan's border guards were also very strict, and An Sui took out a token that Murong Heng gave her. A general guarding the city knelt down when he saw the token, and there was also such a rule in Loulan, and seeing the order was like seeing a person. The general immediately sent someone to send An and the others to Murong Heng.

On the day An Sui took out the token, the border sent the letter to Murong Heng, so Murong Chong had been guarding outside Murong Heng's hall, waiting for An Sui. Seeing that it was An Sui, he stopped saying a word and let An Sui enter the hall, but stopped the rest of the people.

An Sui turned around to appease Yin Qingcheng, "Lord Yin, don't worry!" I'll go see him and he'll come out, and you'll wait for me outside for a while. ”

Yin Qingcheng nodded.

Murong Heng's dormitory was very dark, and there was a strong smell of blood and medicine in it, and the pungent smell showed the wolf bèi and predicament of a generation of monarchs.

"You're here? Anywhere? ”

An Sui opened the heavy curtain and saw Murong Heng, he was lying on the bed with a bloodless face, the sheepskin quilt covered most of his body, but it couldn't hide the fact that he was seriously ill at this time.

"As soon as I heard footsteps, I knew it was you, I didn't expect me to see you at this time, Sui'er, do you know the news that I am seriously ill? If you know, Da Chu will also know, Lou Lan...... Lou Lan is finished. ”

An Sui shook his head, "No one knows, I'm here for something else, how did you become like this?" When we parted, you were fine. ”

"Are you crying?" Although Murong Heng was seriously ill, he still heard the choked voice in An Sui's voice, "Don't cry, I'm not dead yet, I thought you hated me, and you would never shed a tear for me again." I betrayed your father for power, and now the whole Lou Lan is retributioned because of me. Everyone said that it was because of my strength that Teng Li was angry, so Teng Li wanted to bring disaster to Lou Lan, and Teng Li would leave Lou Lan. Sui'er, you know, I've never believed in any gods, but at this time, I really wish there was a god who could protect my Lou Lan. You say, am I really wrong that God wants to punish me? ”

An Sui nodded, "No, Rong Heng, I still want to call it that, Rong Heng, you will get better, you will get better, haven't you always wanted to be the greatest king of Lou Lan?" As long as you get through, you will be the greatest king of Lou Lan. ”

Murong Heng shook his head, "I can't do it." Do you know why I've always wanted to be the greatest king of Lou Press? That's because of my father. Murong Heng's expression gradually became painful, "When my two brothers and I seized the throne, my father announced me to the tent one day and asked me, in fact, I can never come back, why should I come back, and compete with them for his position." At that time, I sued him, because I wanted to be the greatest king of Lou Lan, and Lou Lan was so bad, compared to the Central Plains, he was like a barbarian. At that time, my father told me that because I thought so, I would never be the greatest king. I don't believe it, they don't believe me, so I'm not only going to show them, I'm going to show myself. But as it turned out, I didn't make it to this king. ”

An Sui smiled slightly, "Actually, you have already done it, but you didn't realize it." Don't you know how your subjects praise you? Your enemies are afraid of you, and call you the most terrible wolf in the steppe. ”

"Actually, that's not what I want." Murong Heng closed his eyes, "Ah Sui, you go out!" Go to my son Murong Hong, the heir to my throne in the future. I know you must have come to Lou Lan not just to see me. Go find him, whatever you say, he'll help you. This is what I ask of him, and this is what I can finally compensate you for. ”
