Chapter 193: Unity
Ning Yanchen and Xiao'er both left, leaving only Huangfu Jingyao and Chu Xiangwan in the big tent, both of them lying in the futon with their eyes open, but no one spoke. Since Chu Xiangwan came back, Huangfu Jingyao has been living in the meeting office of the outer tent, laying a quilt and sleeping on the ground every day. He has always had hidden worries in his heart, and only when Chu Xiangwan is under his nose can he feel that he is the safest. Chu Xiangwan's relationship these days knows that Huangfu Jingyao is a gentleman, even if they used to love each other like that, Huangfu Jingyao will not do anything excessive now, so she will not mention this matter anymore.
In fact, Chu Xiangwan had a lot of questions in her heart, just like tonight on the hillside, she finally asked about her past with Huangfu Jingyao, and what Bian Yi's sentence "Imperial Concubine" meant, many things are complicated, and she is about to leave tomorrow, and she can't sleep peacefully at the moment. Unconsciously, let out a sigh.
"You're going to leave early tomorrow morning, so rest early." Huangfu Jingyao always knew that Chu Xiangwan was awake, and he slept in the same tent these days, and he knew the sound of Chu Xiangwan's awake and sleeping breathing. Don't say Chu Xiangwan, it's himself, how can he fall asleep on the night of such a parting?
"King Rui, the person he caught tonight" Chu Xiangwan still asked, and the three words "Imperial Concubine" stirred her heart.
"It's the leader of the secret guard by the emperor's side." Huangfu Jingyao replied in a low voice.
"What exactly was my previous identity? Helian Cheng once said that I have always been a palace maid by the emperor's side, but it is also a lie if I think it is. Chu Xiangwan thought to himself. Could it be that she is the emperor's concubine instead of a palace maid?
"Evening, I don't want to tell you who you used to be from my own mouth, if you really want to know. After you go on the road tomorrow, you can ask Ning Yanchen. Well, it's late at night, so let's get some rest. Huangfu Jingyao didn't want to say more, this was the most painful place he had ever been, and he didn't want Chu Xiangwan to have such a heavy burden when he didn't recover his memory.
Chu Xiangwan also stopped talking, and she could see that Huangfu Jingyao was very resistant to her previous identity. She is not a fool, even if she doesn't ask Ning Yanchen, she can piece together some of the past from these bits and pieces, if she was really the imperial concubine before. But he fell in love with Huangfu Jingyao, he could imagine how much bitterness and pain there was, but what she couldn't understand was that there were more people and things involved behind it, which made their love road doubly bumpy.
After Bian Yi left. Originally, he was going to rush back to the capital immediately to return to Huangfu Jingwen. But he didn't want to ride a horse to leave the Great Zhou military camp only twenty miles away, and someone intercepted him halfway. In fact, it was not deliberately intercepted, but because the other party had been paying attention to the movements of the Great Zhou military camp, he noticed Bian Yi.
"Who are you?" Bian Yi was really unlucky tonight, only to be defeated at the hands of Ning Yanchen and captured by Helian City.
Bian Yi had never seen Helian Cheng, so naturally he didn't know who he was, but Helian Cheng knew Bian Yi's identity, and the secret agent he planted in the capital was not done for nothing. If he didn't even know who the first secret guard by the emperor's side was, he, the Hun man, would not be able to be now. Helian Cheng smiled and said, "People who want to cooperate with your master." β
"Your Excellency wants to cooperate with my master? That's too much. Bian Yi raised his eyes and looked at Helian City. This person is a Hun at first glance, and it seems that his identity is not simple, but he seems to know a lot, but he doesn't know anything.
"Commander Bian, tonight is a big gain, right? You should have the answers to two things that your master is anxious to know tonight. Helian Cheng asked with a smile.
"If Your Excellency wants to cooperate with my master, it is better to explain it directly, and I will go back to my life." Bian Yi didn't want to go around in circles, this Hun dared to talk directly to the emperor about cooperation, he had to be cautious.
"Bing Fu and Imperial Concubine, the two most important things for your emperor are already in the hands of Huangfu Jingyao. I don't need to say much about the imperial concubine, your emperor has been looking for many years, if you know that she is by Huangfu Jingyao's side, you will immediately order to copy the family and send Huangfu Jingyao to the prison. But since the talisman is already in Huangfu Jingyao's hands, what do you think he will do next? β
Bian Yi's eyes widened: "Your Excellency knows a lot, but I don't understand what this has to do with you?" β
"Without the talisman, can your emperor still mobilize troops and horses? Not to mention snatching back Chu Xiangwan, even his own dragon chair is in jeopardy. However, if he cooperates with our Xiongnu, our Xiongnu can send troops to help him deal with Huangfu Jingyao's army, and it will be easy to get back the talisman at that time. As for what you said about me, I can tell you that my Huns just want to coexist peacefully with the Great Zhou, and the Huangfu Jingyao is at the border for a day, and we Huns will not have a good life, which is also the condition I want to talk to your emperor. Helian Cheng didn't mention Chu Xiangwan's matter, because his real plan was not as simple as he said.
Bian Yi thought for a while after listening to Helian Cheng's words, and he asked directly: "Who is Your Excellency, and can you call the shots about the affairs of the Huns?" As far as I know, there is only one person who dares to speak like this, and you areβ"
"It's Ben Khan." Helian Cheng's domineering attitude was unobstructed when he said this.
In fact, from the time Bian Yi first saw him, he had already guessed that his identity was not simple, but he didn't expect that it was really Helian City, but he turned to ask suspiciously: "Helian Khan, may I ask why you are here?" "This is still in the territory of the Great Zhou, and it is not far from Huangfu Jingyao's military camp, how could Helian City stay here in the middle of the night?
"Huangfu Jingyao also took away one of the most important things of Ben Khan, Ben Khan and he do not share the sky, so he will wait here for Commander Bian, hoping to cooperate with your emperor." Bian Yi didn't know that what Helian City was taken away from was what the emperor took away, but unfortunately Chu Xiangwan was not a thing and would never become anyone's spoils.
"Helian Khan, I will inform the emperor of this matter as soon as possible, but in my opinion, King Rui's army is about to rise, do you have a way to delay the time for him to raise his army?" Bian Yi is not sure whether the emperor will cooperate with Helian City, but regardless of the outcome, what Bian Yi is thinking about now is to use Helian City to delay the footsteps of Huangfu Jingyao's army, so that the emperor has time to prepare.
Helian Cheng smiled, this Bian Yi is indeed not a good person, he actually wants to use his hand to delay the army, his Hun army is not used to give them a striker.
Helian Cheng replied: "Commander Bian's abacus is too fine, Ben Khan only wants to cooperate with your emperor just to let the Hun people have a few more comfortable days, we grassland children have always been free and easy, even if I stand by and do not cooperate with your emperor, I am not afraid that the emperor Jingyao will come back to attack us again in the future." In the end, it is better for Commander Bian to send a message to your emperor as soon as possible and ask him to make a decision. β
"Okay, in that case, I'll go back to Beijing immediately." Bian Yi didn't stop any longer, got on the horse and galloped away again.
Helian Cheng looked at Bian Yi's distant figure, the corners of his mouth curled proudly, Chu Xiangwan could only be his, Huangfu Jingyao wanted the country and the beauty, he would not let him get his wish. (To be continued......)
