Chapter Eighty-Three: The Danger of Nancheng
The moment Yuan Yingjing walked into the Jing Palace, I couldn't help but have a delusion.
The moment he stood in the hall, he should have already known my plan.
"After many days, the county lord of Zhaohua is still like this......" He watched me make a gesture with his hands spread slightly, but as if he was deliberately halfway through the sentence, and admired my reaction with interest, like a cat teasing a mouse. I heard that the county lord has something important to discuss. ”
The good-looking eyebrows and eyes are becoming more and more unfamiliar, and looking at them will only make people inexplicable. "Before you set foot in my Nancheng Palace, there were. But now, no. I smiled and replied, "Since there is no more, please ...... Regent, stay here for a few days, and let your mind go. ”
Yuan Ying was also smiling, the corners of his mouth rose inadvertently, and his eyes were even more playful.
I was not surprised at all when I saw him, I was somewhat angry in my heart, so I had to suppress the anger and pretend to be calm and ordered, "Shaoyi, send someone to prepare the palace, Beishao's ...... Lord Regent, stay for a few days. ”
"Not necessarily." Yuan Ying stepped forward and interrupted. "The county lord is kind enough to stay in the Nancheng Palace, if the king stays in the palace, it won't hurt the county lord's kindness, fortunately, your bedroom is not small, so make a side hall for the king to stay overnight."
I really, really wanted to, slap it in the face.
This is the Nancheng Palace, I am the Queen of Nancheng, and my husband, Emperor Nancheng, is resting in the cabinet of the main hall of my dormitory at the moment. This person can actually say in front of my subordinates that he wants to stay in my dormitory.
Whether he really doesn't remember it or not, but for me, I can't bear his shamelessness.
I glared at Shao Yi, who wanted to reply for me, and said to Yuan Ying, "I don't know if it's an illusion, I inexplicably feel that the regent of Beishao is really cheeky." ”
"Oh?" He thought about it seriously, "It's rare for this king to be like this, I'm afraid that he has met someone who likes to be so cheeky." ”
"Really? Then you have to be careful not to freak people out of your cheekiness. I admit that I can't hold back anymore, so I pretended to turn around and instructed Shao Yi, "Since the regent is willing to stay in the palace, you can go and arrange for someone to clean up the West Chamber." ”
Shao Yi retreated, I turned around and came back, and whispered to him in the empty space that passed by, "This West Chamber, I was originally used to pile up sundries, and now I let you live, just right." ”
Yuan Ying smiled and sighed, not arguing with me anymore. After a while, Shao Yi came back, "Niangniang, the West Chamber is cleaned up, and you can invite the regent to move in." ”
"In this case, this king will not bother the county lord, the sky is almost dawn, I believe the county lord still has a lot to do." Without waiting for me to explain more, Yuan Ying had already gotten up and wanted to walk towards the side hall, but the moment the person was about to step out of the temple door, he stopped for a moment.
"I know you're here for him, but I'm still here."
The heart inevitably hurts a little, and it inevitably moves.
Seeing Yuan Ying walk out, I stopped Shaoyi, "Send someone to spread some news to Xiyi." ”
"Yes." Shao Yi bowed and retreated.
The current crisis in Nancheng can only be temporarily alleviated by changing the direction of foreign enemies. If Fu Ang intends to use his own ability to regain Dongfu, this move is very likely to be provoked by Wei Liang, if Wei Xiao pretends to agree to join forces with him, then let him think that after recovering Dongfu, I am afraid that he will use Fu Ang's hand to deal with Nancheng.
Now that I think about it, the regent of Beishao that Wei Xiao mentioned that day was nothing more than an illusion for me. It's a pity that Wei Xiao is clever but is mistaken by cleverness, and he is too conceited.
And now that I asked Shao Yi to spread the news that I had put Yuan Ying under house arrest in the Jing Palace to Xiyi, Wei Yi was bound to think more. He would definitely think that Yuan Ying had regained his memory, and if Yuan Ying and I joined forces, it would not be easy for Xiyi to gain a foothold in the troubled world in the future. I won't take Fuang and Dongfu what to do, I will definitely get this account back with Xiyi, so next, Wei Xiao will inevitably turn the spearhead and provoke Fuang to attack Beishao first, if I want to protect Fuang, it will be difficult to form an alliance with Yuan Ying.
It's just that right now, I still don't know how many memories Yuan Ying has recovered, so I can't take too much risk for the time being. If he were Yuan Ying, he might help me, but if he wasn't, then he and I could only be a temporary enemy.
"Hey, it's just that there are two men under house arrest in this dormitory, and I'm afraid the queen's seat will not be stable in the future." I couldn't help but sigh, this life is destined to be upside down, how long has it been stable, and it is about to start again.
After packing up, I sat down on the side of Huangfu Xuan's bed, and tried to probe his chest with my hand, obviously there was a heartbeat, but I felt so weak, and I didn't know when I would leave, which made me feel sad. What hasn't changed in the next five years? It turned out that inadvertently, all the qiē around me were disintegrating with the passage of time.
But even if I can't go back to the high spirits of the year, and I can't go back to the young Zhaohua at the beginning, I still want to seek justice with this world.
When I woke up, it was past noon.
Stretching my waist and moving my stiff muscles, I instinctively glanced at Huangfu Xuan, and then walked towards the study. Presumably Shao Yi had already spread the news to Xiyi at this time, and Wei Xiao was already playing his little abacus at the moment, so what next.
I was suddenly startled, I didn't expect Yuan Ying to stand in my study, thinking carefully about the map I hung on the wall, I was stunned, and immediately stepped forward, pulling the curtains on both sides to cover the map. He couldn't help but reprimand, "Doesn't the regent know the courtesy of being a guest? ”
"Does the lord of the county treat me as a guest?" But he was turned against the army, but maybe he said it casually, he didn't care about it, "However, the county lord's hospitality is ......"
I knew to myself that he was reproaching me for sleeping past noon, but I was powerless to refute it.
"I don't know if Nancheng is exhausted, and he can't even see a few waiters in the residence of the dignified queen. The guards stationed outside the Jing Palace make people feel that it is not the dying king who is under house arrest, but you, the ......" He deliberately did not say anything.
But whether it was calling me the county lord or finally acknowledging me as a dignified queen, I couldn't help but look at him and sigh. "Zhaohua is here, Nancheng is here, my husband lives for a day, I will not let Nancheng disappear."
When Yuan Ying heard my words, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to the side, and also appreciated, "I have long heard the legend in the world, and those who win Zhaohua win the world, this king only thinks that the county lord of Zhaohua has outstanding ability and has the ability to turn the tide." But it turns out that there is a deeper meaning, the county lord of Zhaohua is definitely comparable to the weight of the world. "It's also a loss," although I don't remember the past, I can still think of why this king is obsessed with you, even if I think of missing you, I will feel that I have missed the world. ”
"I can make the regent regretful, and the palace has also taken care of it, whether I remember the past or not, it has no effect on me, and I will not comment on you." Getting too entangled in the past, I'm afraid it will make the road more difficult to walk in the future, and my fate with him will never be broken here, but if it's like this, there's really no need to be too persistent.
Yuan Ying's eyes were as deep as night, like mist, and the smile on his lips was still missing.
If I just looked at him quietly and side by side, I could probably watch him all day.
But he wavered first, as if a memory was a haunting memory, and his heart began to cloud, and he avoided my gaze first. "With the talent of the county lord, he can be called a rare general in this world, with the world in mind, determined all things, knows every move in this troubled world well, thinks clearly, and does not lose the demeanor of a commander. It's really hard to imagine why from Dongfu to Nancheng, the royal family has not helped you soar, but has made you sleepy and a little clumsy. ”
"Probably because I understand that in this world, there is something I want people to have more than to dominate the world. If you have a selfish heart to protect, you have no intention of violating it. "Because of my son, and because of too many reasons.
"In these troubled times, the kindness of a woman will only bring more troubles to herself, and if the county lord wants to show his strength, now is the most suitable time." Yuan Ying's voice was so cold that people couldn't help but wake up from their dreams.
What did he mean by this?
Suddenly, I heard that there was a movement in the cabinet, and I didn't think much else, but I glanced at him, and then hurriedly turned around and returned to the cabinet.
Huangfu Xuan coughed lightly twice, gasping for breath, and tried to roll over from the bed.
I stepped forward to soothe him, put the cushion under him, and sat up with him half-leaning.
"How long did I sleep." The emperor asked.
I shook my head, "It doesn't matter how long you sleep, just wake up." ”
He looked around, seeing that he was a little puzzled, and before he could ask, I continued, "I asked Shao Yi to do some things for me, you also know that I don't like too many people to walk around in my palace, and I am afraid that no one will take care of you, so I will settle you here first, if you think it is inappropriate, wait for Shao Yi to come back." ”
Huangfu Xuan lowered his head and patted the back of my hand gently, "Thank you for your hard work." He turned his head, but his gaze was fixed on one place.
I followed his gaze, Yuan Ying stood outside the cabinet door, and I took Huang Fuxuan's hand and hinted to him, "He is the regent of Beishao, Yuwence." When you were asleep, something happened, and I took it upon myself to invite him to Nancheng as a guest, and you won't blame me for being reckless. ”
Huangfu Xuan smiled and shook his head, although he was still a little confused, but soon, he could see that he approved of my approach, he held my hand instead, raised his voice and greeted, "The widow has been in a coma for a few days due to a minor illness a few days ago, and I ask the regent for forgiving me for being slacking off if I failed to greet him in person." ”
"It doesn't matter." Yuan Ying's gaze fell on the hand that Huangfu Xuan held me for a moment, but quickly moved away without leaving a trace, just like his usual indifferent appearance, but he seemed to say a little deliberately, "If it weren't for the Nancheng Emperor being asleep, how could this king have the opportunity to have a deep communication with such an outstanding Zhaohua County Lord." ”
Huangfu Xuan was slightly stunned, I could clearly feel it, but instead, he didn't show anything, and it seemed that people couldn't help but ponder.
"Mother." At this time, Shao Yi stood outside the hall like a rescuer from heaven and asked for help.
I followed the sound and said, "I still have some things to ask Shao Yi to help me do, can Your Majesty talk to the regent?" I'll go back as soon as I go. ”
Huangfu Xuan nodded and let go of his hand, "Go ahead." ”
I got up, helped the chair on the side and placed it on the side of the bed, waiting for Yuan Ying to walk in, he stood on the side of the bed, not in a hurry to sit down, just looked at the surrounding furnishings, and then chatted about the hem of the robe and sat aside.
I didn't care about what he did on purpose, so I pulled the chair aside, withdrew from the cabinet, and followed Shao Yi into the side hall.
"Niangniang," Shao Yi leaned back, "I've found Fu Ang." ”
"Oh?" I was a little surprised, although everything was planned, but Fu Ang came out unexpectedly too quickly, Fu Ang was not a person who could lead the army in battle from the beginning, and was good at deployment, even if he was assisted by General Ao, but this was too reckless.
"Niangniang, a qiē are as Niangniang expected, Wei Xiao provoked behind Fu Ang, Fu Ang and General Ao openly faced the Beishao army, although the Xiyi army made an auxiliary attack, but obviously set up a bureau to lead Fu Ang and others in the scheme, and now General Fu Ang Ao and the Nancheng army were besieged by the Shao army in Huocheng in Xiyi." Shao Yi truthfully returns one by one. "I don't know what Niangniang's plans are next."
They were trapped in the city of Huo.
It's in Xiyi again.
"Let's let this palace think first." I can only make arrangements for the time being, "Shaoyi, you go and change the guards outside the Jing Palace, even if Your Majesty has not explained to the palace, but the palace believes that Your Majesty also has a cronies to protect you, you go to mobilize trustworthy people, don't spread the news of Your Majesty's awakening, and still act like the palace has placed your majesty under house arrest." ”
The affairs of this palace have been arranged for the time being.
Then it's time to deal with things outside the palace.
After dinner, after accompanying Huang Fu Xuan and Yuan Ying to chat for a while, Huang Fu Xuan's appearance was tired. Yuan Ying turned around and went back to the side hall to rest, and after placing Huangfu Xuan, I slipped out of Nancheng Palace in disguise.
Riding a horse galloping all the way.
Tonight is slightly cold, as if rain is coming, if the weather and place are favorable, I am afraid that this station is inevitable.
Under the cover of night, I am afraid that it is the best time for the army to attack.
Arriving at Huocheng, General Ao led the Nancheng army to fight fiercely with the Shao army.
The two soldiers fought each other, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.
On the battlefield, there was a bloody battle.
The sword was unsheathed in a minute, and in this battle and urgency, he turned around and cut down the banner of the Shao army with a sword, and the commander of the Shao army was drowned in a chaotic fight, and the formation began to look panicked.
rushed to the Nancheng camp, pulled up the military flag, and pointed directly at the weakness of the Shao army's camp, "The Nancheng army listens to the order and attacks!" ”
After a moment of silence, the army suddenly let out a howl and slashed towards the place commanded by the military commander.
After a qiē subsided, the Shao army retreated in a hurry. The sky was already bright, and the Nancheng army cleaned up the battlefield, and this battle was won.
In the middle of the camp, I dismounted and entered the tent. Fu Ang stood aside, and Ao Zhan was waiting soon. I glanced at Fu Ang, looked at Ao Zhan, and said with ulterior motives. "Big brother."
Ao Zhan took off his helmet and fell to his knees with a suit of armor, and after several days of fighting, he was already overwhelmed. "Minister, if you have the trust of the queen, you deserve death."
I turned my head to look at Fu Ang, "Can this battle teach you a lesson?" ”
"Sister......" Fu Ang knew guiltily.
"Fighting with the unified army, you are a child's play! Fu Ang is young and ignorant, and General Ao actually accompanies him to mess around! "I'm furious." Do you know that you fell for the grandson of Wei Liang! ”
"Sister, Xiao Ang knows that he is wrong." Volvo stepped forward.
I shoved him away. "Sister, when you are young, coax you, everything accommodates you. Are you a bully when you are a sister? Xiao Ang, you are so stupid, do you think Wei Xiao will help you regain your position? Do you think that it is easy to fight with a unified army? Do you know that because of your conceit, you almost buried Nancheng! ”
"Sister......" Fu Ang wanted to explain.
"Someone!" I shouted, and the guards in the camp hurried in, looked at me, looked at General Ao who was kneeling on the ground, and was dumbfounded. "Take Volion into custody!"
The guards did not dare to move, paying attention to General Ao's reaction.
"Stupid?! Ao Zhan disobeyed the order before the battle, removed the commander Da Yin, and the army immediately listened to the instructions of the palace, and those who violated the order were killed! I exclaimed. The guards stumbled and got up, and several of them knelt on the ground, and then they took Fu Ang down with all their hands and feet.
"Big brother, I respect you big brother, you sincerely help me with selfish accidents. But the moment I told you about the plan, you had your own idea, didn't you? Fuli Dongfu is out of Nancheng's grasp, do you think the little emperor you wholeheartedly support has that ability?! I turned around and taught Ao Zhan a lesson, "Foolish loyalty! If everyone under my command has their own ideas like yours, then what's the use of me keeping the cottage?! To each his own?! ”
He fell to his knees and buried his head in the ground. "The minister knows that he is sorry for you, and he knows the consequences of being foolish and loyal, so please give the queen death."
"Death?!" I stepped forward and kicked him over, "Provoked such a big basket, now that I am fighting with Beishao, do you want to die?!" ”
He fell to his knees again, gasping for breath, perhaps with guilt and sobbing in pain.
"Ao Zhan, immediately demoted to deputy marshal." I repeat the instructions. "You will atone for your own sins, and you will clean up your own troubles. Give you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Reorganize the army, rest in place, and after two hours, the army will feint and retreat westward on both sides, outflanking the Xiyi army, and it will inevitably be captured alive! ”
