- The faint light of the lamp in the inner room of the dormitory is forced by the palace lamp outside the door that is getting closer and brighter, and the two kinds of light and dark are intertwined, and everything in the room becomes blurred, like a painting that has been flooded.

Wang Hong was anxious, turned around and grabbed the couch indiscriminately, fortunately his luck was good, and soon his fingers touched the edge of the booklet, and he hurriedly grabbed it and stuffed it under the brocade quilt.

There was no more time for him to have a chance to hide the booklet in a more secret place, the door of the inner room of the dormitory had been opened, and under the light of the Huanghuang Palace lamp, Xiao Wanting, the richly dressed concubine, stepped lightly and walked in.

With the entry of a group of palace maids and eunuchs, the seat lamps and corner lamps in the dormitory were lit, and the room was suddenly illuminated, and the second prince sitting on the edge of the couch squinted slightly.

When Concubine De walked into the inner room of the dormitory, she saw that the second prince Wang Hong was not lying on the couch, but sitting on the edge of the couch, and her feet had been put into her shoes, as if she was about to get up.

Wang Hong didn't seem to have just been woken up by the shouts of the eunuch outside the door, but seemed to have woken up a long time ago, but the palace maid who stayed in the inner room to keep vigil was at the gate outside the hall, so what happened in this inner room just now?

"Mother." Wang Hong saw that Concubine De had already come in, so he called first, and then got up to greet him, "Erchen to meet the concubine ......."

Without waiting for Wang Hong to bow down, Concubine De walked a little hurriedly, raised her hand to support his forearm, and said with a smile: "It's almost free, you are still polite to the concubine, sit down." ”

Concubine De wanted to help Wang Hong back to lean on the couch, but Wang Hong was afraid that as soon as she lifted the quilt, she would see the booklet he hastily hid under the brocade quilt, so she just sat back on the side of the couch, and then immediately called the palace maid to wait for Concubine De to sit down.

Although Concubine De had doubts, she didn't immediately reveal anything. It was only according to Wang Hong's intention first, but she instructed the palace maid to move the chair to the side of the couch, and she sat down.

waited to see Wang Hong's forehead clearly. Worry suddenly appeared on Concubine De's face, and she took a silk handkerchief from her waist. Carefully wiped him dry, and at the same time said compassionately: "Why do you sweat so much?" Wasn't it okay when you just came back from outside the palace? ”

Wang Hong just smiled lightly at this and covered it with the old words: "Erchen has been so easy to drag down other people's physique since he was a child, in fact, it's nothing, it will ease up after a night's rest." ”

"That is, you dare to treat yourself like this." Concubine De couldn't help but reproach, "Mother Concubine watched you go from just learning to walk staggeringly to growing into your current handsome descendant, and you should owe me half a lifetime of hard work." You need to take good care of yourself, you know? ”

"The retainers obeyed." Wang Hong lowered his head slightly.

Concubine De sighed faintly, and then said slowly: "The concubine just heard from the imperial doctor of the Imperial Doctor's Bureau, the injury in your palm was just a little better, and it was broken again, the imperial doctor said that this time you must take care of it carefully, the concubine was worried, so she came to see you." You're used to getting sick at night, how are you feeling now? If you feel uncomfortable, you must not hide it. You need to call someone to serve in time, you know? ”

"Erchen knows." Wang Hong raised his head slowly, "Thank you, Concubine, for your advice." ”

"You're an adult now. It is no longer possible for the mother to watch you to sleep every night like when you were a child, so she can only tell you from time to time and teach you to pay more attention to yourself. Fortunately, in recent years, you have been less reborn, which makes the mother feel much more at ease. While speaking, Concubine De reached out and touched Wang Hong's forehead, only to feel a little cold when she touched it, and she couldn't help but say again: "It's so cold, hurry up and get into the quilt to cover it." ”

Seeing that Concubine De hadn't gotten up yet. Wang Hong hurriedly moved, and sure enough, he "drilled" into the brocade quilt. He didn't dare to lift it. I'm still afraid that the booklet will be exposed. After getting into the quilt, he moved very slightly. Pressing the booklet under his leg, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine De was actually about to stand up and help Wang Hong tuck the quilt just now, and the reason why she didn't act was because she was used to glancing at the ground before getting up, and then she saw the burned fire stalk on the ground next to her feet.

She didn't drop her hand to pick it up, but her eyes fixed on the fire fold for a moment, and then she said with a little annoyance, "What's going on?" The palace is heavy, how many times do you have to be admonished to be careful about the fire candle? Which rough slave left this behind? If you stand up and confess your guilt, you can also ask for some forgiveness, don't wait for the palace to interrogate them one by one! ”

Among the several palace maids and eunuchs in Huayang Palace who were in charge of keeping vigil today, none of them made a sound.

Wang Hong, who was already nestled in the quilt, leaned over when he heard the sound and glanced down at Concubine De's gaze, and he quickly understood what was happening. His eyes changed for a moment, and there must be one thing that he couldn't bypass today, and he couldn't help but sigh silently.

The fire fold was also left by the cloth skirt woman Xiaoxing who suddenly appeared in the inner room of the dormitory just now, which was a small accident, but fortunately, this kind of fire fold was very ordinary, and it was not possible to see the traces left by someone's personality from above. However, in order to hide this doubt, there must be a palace slave who has to suffer some grievances tonight.

In the face of everyone's silence, on the couch shrouded in silk tents, the second prince Wang Hong, who was sitting quietly leaning on two soft pillows, suddenly spoke: "It was probably accidentally dropped by the palace maid who held the lamp just now, it's just a trivial matter, it's not worth the mother's annoyance." ”

Although he said it lightly, as long as these words came out of his mouth, Concubine De would never spare the mistake of the palace maid who held the lamp.

There is no need for anyone to identify it, and the arrangement of the palace slaves for the nightly vigil in the dormitory has long been finalized. The second prince was only halfway through his words, and among the palace maids standing on both sides, one of them knelt down with a "bang" and begged for mercy and cried out for mercy. She was guarding the inner room of the dormitory just now, and she was called by the second prince, so she went to light the palace maid who lit the triangular glass lamp.

The second prince, Wang Hong, didn't say anything again, in order to hide the traces of Xiaoxing, he had to do this. As for this lady who seems to have just been elected to Huayang Palace, the grievances she suffered today, if he wants to make up for it, she will have to discuss it another day.

Seeing that the palace maid kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, as if she had really been wronged, among the several slaves of Huayang Palace present, there was an older eunuch who vaguely grasped the intention of the second highness, not only did not help the palace maid speak, but also said a little meaningfully: "Don't argue anymore, you can review it yourself." When did His Royal Highness wronged which palace servant? It's all your own rudeness, do you still want to throw the responsibility to Your Highness? ”

Concubine De's last hesitation was also removed by the eunuch's words. Anger grew on her face.

The eunuch was right, the second prince Wang Hong may be because of his poor health. Since childhood, he has developed a gentle temperament, rarely gets angry, and naturally rarely gets angry with the palace slaves. Over time, he gradually became a rare good master in the hearts of most palace slaves in the harem.

And as a prince, the wisdom of the gentleman he has learned, the breeze of the person he has cultivated, and the generosity and kindness of his character are not a problem. It's completely unimaginable to let him do the thing of framing a little palace maid. At this time, if the palace maid denied the matter again, it would be a bit like she was pouring dirt on His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

The palace maid who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to speak out anymore, and after listening to the eunuch's accusation, although she had some hatred in her heart, she also had some doubts about herself, was it really her negligence just now? The eunuch's words were not all wrong, how could His Royal Highness wronged himself as a little palace maid?

"Doing things so crudely, and refusing to bear the mistakes after committing them, how can the emperor's bedroom be left with such a bad servant." Concubine De, who had been silent for a moment, spoke coldly, and at the same time flicked her sleeves. "Let's go to the Huanyi Bureau tonight, you will be more diligent there in the future, and you will not even be disappointed in this last bit of master's expectations."

Concubine De's words had just been finished. Among the several palace maids who came here with her, two of them stood up, stretched out their hands and pressed them on the shoulders of the kneeling palace maids, and quickly carried her out.

After saying the words that could almost change the fate of a palace maid just now, Wang Hong, the second prince sitting in the brocade quilt, kept his eyes slightly lowered. He also heard the words of the eunuch, and in fact he was exactly that kind of person, accustomed to being gentle with all those around him, and did not like to treat these people who served him carefully as cattle and horses, and to see them punished. There will be no joy in his heart.

What's more, the punishment that this palace maid received at this time was indeed forced on her own head. But of course he can understand. The eunuch suddenly spoke, and he spoke appropriately. Although that would cause the palace maid to be punished more severely, he still had to firmly protect Xiaoxing's original intention.

It's just that this practice of needing to hurt one person in order to protect another person makes him feel a little sorry after all.

After disposing of the palace maid, Concubine De let out a long breath, as if she had not completely relieved her hatred. After calming down a little, Concubine De turned her gaze and looked at Wang Hong through a layer of foggy silk tent, and said helplessly in her tone: "When the concubine first came over, she was still wondering, why did all the people in your palace stand at the gate, and now it can be seen that these palace slaves are not serving well, so they were driven out by you." But why don't you know that slaves are not useful, and it is useless to just drive them away, so they have to be replaced. The concubine has told you many times, it's all for your good, why don't you want to do it? ”

Wang Hong was silent for a moment, it was really not good to help Concubine De to be angry anymore, and the servants in his palace suffered a lot, so he said softly: "The slaves and maids in Huayang Palace are usually very conscientious in serving their sons, and occasionally there are some negligence, and it is not a big deal. ”

"Teach them to abide by the rules of the palace, and naturally there are grandmothers and female officials in the palace doing it. You are a dignified son, and you must not be entangled in these trivial matters, and you should really take on the big things. If you have to worry about these things, will those grandmothers and female officials who are full-time discipline the new palace maids and eunuchs have a leisurely meal? The more Concubine De spoke, the more angry the anger on her face became, and after a slight pause in the middle of the conversation, her eyes were slightly sharp, and she said sentence by sentence: "No, the mother concubine still doesn't worry about you, change Ming'er, the mother concubine will call a few more grandmothers over, and check you, the slave in Huayang Palace, to see who is not careful enough." Slaves who are not qualified to stay here will all have to be changed in this palace! ”

As soon as Concubine De's words were finished, all the palace maids and eunuchs present were so frightened that their hearts trembled, including the few servants who served Concubine De who came here with Concubine De, and their eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of panic. Today's check is Huayang Palace, maybe tomorrow it will be the turn of your own Xiaohuai Palace. And Xiaohuai Palace is not protected by a good-tempered master like His Second Highness, if it is really investigated, I am afraid that the palace slaves in Xiaohuai Palace will be even more desolate.

And the second prince Wang Hong was suddenly taken aback after listening to Concubine De's words. If Concubine De wanted to check his palace maids on the grounds of eliminating bad slaves, her father would definitely agree. He didn't know what Concubine De's censorship standards for palace maids and eunuchs were, but it depended on the two people she disposed of today, once she really started to investigate. The palace servants who are already familiar with each other in their own dormitory will definitely be excluded, and then some new people will be filled.

This would greatly disrupt his camp in the palace, and no one knew if Concubine De would arrange for a new palace servant to serve him. These newcomers are not her henchmen. From now on, if you want to quietly leave the palace again. I'm afraid it's even harder. And if you want to check the reason for the death of Concubine Ye's virtuous concubine back then, it will also take more time because it is not easy to get out of the palace.

In addition, once there is a newcomer like Zài among the servants of Huayang Palace, Xiaoxing's chances of coming back will become even slimmer, and the person he hid behind the screen of the head of the dormitory will not be able to stay here any longer.

But I coincidentally can't refuse to Concubine De at this time.

In the past, when Xiaoxing was still a maid in Huayang Palace, Wang Hong sent her to secretly supervise the palace where Concubine De lived. At that time, he had already discovered that Concubine De was not a simple-minded woman. She has cultivated a few powerful personal maids, but she usually does not show the slightest appearance, and only acts as an ordinary palace maid. Wang Hong believes that Concubine De's nurturing and loving love for him can contain true feelings, but this does not mean that she does not have any other thoughts.

Could it be that she had also noticed something strange in Huayang Palace?

If this is the case, his refusal at this time, no matter how tactful the wording, will arouse her greater suspicion.

Can...... Is that acceptable?

After frowning slightly and thinking for a moment, Wang Hong still did not refute Concubine De's decision. He slowly opened his mouth and just instructed the eunuch who was in charge of the lantern palace maid just now: "Ajia, this palace is thirsty." ”

"Your Highness, wait a minute." The eunuch who was called Aja hurriedly answered and went out with a palace maid.

The main hall of Huayang Palace inside and outside is equipped with a small water room. The fire was kept up all night and boiling water was available at all times. Aja soon came in with a crane-beak kettle, and when the palace maid he took out came back, she already had an extra tray in her hand, and on the tray was a set of bone china tea sets, a teapot, and only a tea cup.

Seeing this scene, Concubine De suddenly remembered something, and immediately questioned: "It's time to fall asleep." Are you still preparing to serve tea? ”

……

Being gently helped by Ruan Luo to sit up, Ye Nuonuo carefully looked at the room he was in.

One side of the room is against the wall. On the square paulownia table, there is a set of tea sets with white glaze and blue edges. Four square stools were placed around the table, painted with almost colorless varnish, plain but polished with a smooth and slightly shiny finish. The plain curtain has no decorative embellishments except for a pair of brass hooks hanging on both sides. The window paper in the room was as white as new, as if it had just been replaced, but the carved window lattices were only arranged with monotonous squares, and there was no half of the carved plates of flowers and birds.

There was a brief trance in his eyes, and Ye Nuonuo finally determined that the qiē in front of him was not an illusion, and he had finally arrived in Xiaoliang Country. Even if no one introduces her here, she can feel a difference in a foreign country.

Fortunately, with Ruan Luo here, he has traveled thousands of miles and endured many setbacks in vain. Seeing the person I was looking for, it didn't seem to matter how much else changed.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Ye Nuonuo was about to retract his gaze to look at Ruan Luo, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, when he suddenly felt a shadow pass by outside the door, and a tall young man strode in.

Ye Nuonuo naturally cast her eyes on the person who walked in, and the next moment, she couldn't help but look slightly stunned, as if she recognized the identity of that person, but she couldn't fully remember it, and she could only repeat one word with her lips: "Yang, Yang ......"

"Miss Ye, it's been a long time, it's rare that you still remember me, a Song House handyman." The tall young man walked to the table, put down the tray in his hand, and smiled at Ye Nuonuo, "Yang Chen, my name is also a surname, I remember that you used to laugh at me because of this!" ”

"Oh...... Yang Chen! After being mentioned, Ye Nuonuo suddenly remembered, as if he had been opened up with a breath in his heart, and when he spoke again, every word was bitten heavily. The memory fragments about Yang Chen, after an interval of more than half a year, appeared in Ye Nuonuo's mind again, and then brought up the matter of the Song Mansion, Ye Nuonuo hurriedly said: "I haven't laughed at you, have I...... I just thought your name was a little weird, hey! Don't talk about this, it's just a small thing, I really didn't expect you to be in Xiaoliang Country, this is a big deal. ”

Although Yang Chen was just a groom in the Song Mansion in the past, Ye Nuonuo is still a child, and he can see a familiar face in this foreign country. It can make her feel warm in her heart. When she was happy for a while, she talked a lot, but she was a little anxious. It sounds a little confusing to others.

"Hey! What a big thing or a small thing, in my opinion. It's not a big deal. Recalling the scene in the Song Mansion in the past, there was no shortage of Ye Nuonuo's shadow, and Yang Chen, who had not been able to return to Nanzhao for more than half a year, finally saw a familiar face, and he was also a little happy in his heart.

Waving his hand to stop Ye Nuonuo from continuing to speak, Yang Chen raised his finger sideways and lifted the porcelain lid of a pottery urn on the tray. The urn is filled with a rich and fragrant stewed mushroom hen soup, and when the lid is opened, the mouth-watering aroma suddenly wafts away. Disperse extremely quickly.

Yang Chen used a spoon to scoop the chicken soup in the big urn into another small bowl, and said with a smile: "You are really a little bold, you have come alone for such a long journey, on the surface it seems that there is nothing wrong, but in fact, my body is afraid that it is already depleted, so I have to make up for it quickly." ”

At this moment, Yenono's stomach growled.

Normally, people are hungry first and then go to forage for food. But sometimes this situation can also be flipped by delicious food. hooked out the gluttonous worms, and at that time I couldn't bear it.

When Yang Chen handed the small bowl of chicken soup to Ruan Luo, who was sitting at the head of the bed, Ye Nuonuo, who was sitting in the quilt on the side, was already drooling. A hand popped out of his throat and snatched the bowl straight away. Not only is her body almost exhausted, along the way, she has been eating cold water cooking cakes for a month, and at this time she sees a little meat, which is even more slanderous than a kitten seeing fresh fish.

However, at this time, she really didn't have much strength in her hands, so Ruan Luo could only feed her with a porcelain spoon, and she couldn't help but want to dominate the bowl. But I also have to admit that the chicken soup tastes beautiful. Coupled with Ruan Luo's thoughtfulness, it can be regarded as a double dà complement.

Watch the scene. Yang Chen suddenly remembered something that had already been settled in Nanzhao, and left Ruan Luo with a look. He consciously withdrew.

Although the age gap is a bit big, Ye Nuonuo is indeed married to Ruan Luo. Ye Nuonuo took such a big risk to chase Liang Guo alone, probably for this matter. At this time, the lovers finally met again, and the people next to them should not join in the fun.

Yiweng's chicken soup was lifted in half, and Ye Nuonuo warmed it from the bottom of his heart to the tips of his fingers. It's full, it's time to be sleepy.

It's just that she had just finished eating and was eating soup, so although Ruan Luo could see the tiredness between her eyebrows and eyes, he didn't immediately help her lie down, but helped her tuck the corners of the quilt and let her sit for a while.

Ye Nuonuo herself is a medical student, and of course she understands that it is indeed not advisable to lie down and accumulate food at this time, although she is indeed very sleepy.

As soon as his spirit eased, Ye Nuonuo almost fell asleep in a sitting position against the bed rail, and in a trance, he suddenly heard a few crisp sounds of the dishes colliding, and suddenly woke up again. Pulling out a hand from the quilt and rubbing his eyes, Ye Nuonuo looked at Ruan Luo, who was facing him sideways and was cleaning up the soup bowl on the table, and subconsciously called in a glutinous voice: "Ruan Luo......"

For a long time, Ye Nuonuo's way of calling Ruan Luo was to call Ruan Luo by his full name. I don't know what kind of situation affected this tacit understanding, every time Ye Nuonuo called Ruan Luo's full name, it was not intimate or respectful, but there was always a sense of solidity in his heart.

She also knew that she was still young, but as long as she called out this name, she felt that her Ruan Luo would always be by her side, and sooner or later she would be able to wait until she was twenty-eight years old......

Only on rare occasions would she invoke that somewhat comical moniker.

For example, when she shouted "Ruan Luo" and Ruan Luo didn't realize it.

"Big turnip head!"

After calling "Ruan Luo" several times in a row and not getting a response, most of the sleepiness in Ye Nuonuo's mind was dissipated, and a slight puzzled look appeared in his eyes, and then the five-character nickname was spit out like a jumping bean:

Ruan Luo's shoulder moved slightly, as if he had been distracted about something just now, until at this time, he withdrew his energy because of Ye Nuonuo's chanting and responded: "Nuonuo...... What's wrong? ”

Ye Nuonuo, who was sitting on the bed with the quilt, kept his eyes on Ruan Luo, and did not miss the slightest change, so she clearly saw that the expression on Ruan Luo's face changed from a semi-stagnant state at the beginning to a warm smile at this time. For a moment, Yeno felt that his smile had traces of actinization.

"Ruan Luo......" Ye Nuonuo's hand in the quilt clenched tightly, and quickly let go again, "You looked so worried just now...... Isn't it...... Isn't it that I shouldn't come to Xiaoliang Country and will cause you trouble? ”

Recalling the past when he was in the Song Mansion, Ye Nuonuo did cause trouble for Ruan Luo. But those are just small things, and I accidentally smashed some vases, calligraphy and paintings. With Ruan Luo's financial resources, this loss is nothing at all.

In the past, Ye Nuonuo rarely showed timidity in front of Ruan Luo. Acting in her character will never be before the signs of depravity. I was in a hurry to apologize and admit my mistakes, and I was worried.

Unless she had already anticipated the outcome of the event, and it was still the kind of not-so-good ending.

Ruan Luo stopped what he was doing, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at Ye Nuonuo's somewhat anxious face, and said with a slight smile: "This farewell is more than half a year, and we are almost cut off from each other. I'm really happy to see you again now, how can I say that you're causing me trouble? ”

Looking at the childish face that had not faded, Ruan Luo sighed secretly in his heart. She is only a half-grown child, and she has always been so thoughtful in doing things, and she will not stop acting without hitting the wall. What kind of encounter will it be that after leaving Zhaoguo, in less than a year, this girl will have such a state of mind to grow?

Just noticing a few small changes in her body, it can't be ruled out that this may be her natural state of mind as she grows older. Ruan Luo only subjectively felt at this time: something big is coming.

Or is it ...... Great change is coming.

A person's long-term lack of communication with the outside world will either make his thinking pattern fixed, and his speech and demeanor will become sluggish. Either it makes people sensitive, and the slightest abnormality in the outside world will be captured and magnified by it.

Nguyen Luo belongs to the latter here.

Since the beginning of the year, he was half-invited and half-robbed by Xu Kecheng and Gu Yuan, two former classmates, and brought to the imperial capital of Xiaoliang Kingdom, until now, Ruan Luo is still in a state of invisible house arrest. For the time being, I can't go back to Zhaojing, and there is a zài problem with even exchanging letters.

Ruan Luo could probably see what Emperor Liang wanted to do, but at the same time, he was afraid that he had not seen through the part, and he was afraid that this Emperor of Liang, who had only seen him many years ago, would not know when he would disagree. So Ruan Luo simply obeyed and was banned. More than half a year has passed, and I didn't even send a letter to Akikuni Kyoto.

Ruan Luo knew it very well in his heart. Since Lord Liang directly sent someone to Nanzhao Kyoto to rob him, now he can write a letter to the old people in Nanzhao Kyoto. On the surface, the person who sent the letter would not seize it, but in fact when he arrived at the place where he was carrying it, he would definitely open the letter and read it first.

Emperor Nanzhao must also be thinking about how to take Ruan Luo back at this time, and what Lord Liang is thinking about is how to make Nanzhao's side unable to get a reason.

At the beginning, the Lord of Liang sent someone to invite Ruan Luo, and the letter left to Emperor Zhao was written that Ruan Luo wanted to revisit the old friends of the Liang Congress. When Ruan Luo arrived in the Liang realm, half a month later, the letter sent by the Liang lord to Emperor Zhao wrote that Ruan Luo had a very happy reunion with his old friends and wanted to stay for a while. This small stay, a delay is more than half a year.

On the surface, Lord Liang's head is very reluctant, but the meaning of snatching people is obvious. Ruan Luo left the Song Mansion almost without warning, and he said that he would leave, and so many friends in Kyoto didn't know how to say hello. It really didn't look like a person preparing to travel far away, but like someone forcibly took it away. But the rice has become porridge, when Emperor Zhao got the information, Ruan Luo was already in the Liang realm, and it was impossible for Emperor Zhao to directly send someone to snatch it back, and the relationship between Zhao and Liang had not yet reached this kind of situation where he would do it without saying much.

It's just that after this incident, the mustard between the two countries must have been concluded.

In the eyes of others, Ruan Luo is just a rising star in the business community of Nanzhao and Kyoto, and the significance to Emperor Zhao may only be to help him consolidate the Beijing merchant team in the development stage. Looking forward to the future, this team may be able to stand alone and suppress the Yan family, who is currently the overlord of the business world and was born in the Liang Kingdom. And if Ruan Luo's value is only here, it will not make Emperor Zhao and Lord Liang tear their faces and start a war.

Before this superficial situation, Lord Liang's behavior of "inviting" Ruan Luo to live in Liang seemed to have become a natural thing. Someone has to deal with the giants who support the economic lifeline of the Liang country, how can the Liang lord not take action to deter and delay? We can't let Nanzhao Jingshang grow too fast.

However, several key figures involved in this matter, Lord Liang, Emperor Zhao, and even Ruan Luo himself, all knew that this robbery was not so simple.

At the beginning of the year, Emperor Zhao finally began to collect his troops, and he was ready to march to Xichuan after the beginning of spring, and he didn't know if the news leaked in advance. Before that, there were rumors circling for a long time, behind the rebellion of King Qingchuan. There is the military support of the Northern Wild Goose Kingdom. If this rumor is true, once Emperor Zhao wants to move the king of Qingchuan, Yan * Fang intervenes halfway. The iron hooves of the Yan Kingdom will surely step on the land of the Liang Kingdom sandwiched between the two countries.

In this regard, Lord Liang must be jealous.

The Liang State could not afford the war. If the Southern Showa and the Northern Yan fight, but they want to use the place of Liang to send troops and military supplies, they will definitely be implicated and even injured innocent by mistake.

The Liang owner must hold a hole card, which must at least be able to keep his capital.

In fact, Emperor Beiyan has never looked down on the Lord of Liang, and he relies on his own military strength to often show his face when dealing with the diplomatic affairs of the Liang State. In short, Emperor Beiyan was determined no matter how crazy he was. Lord Liang didn't dare to make a mistake. Lord Liang also knows this, and he can't express his grievances.

Now seeing that Emperor Nanzhao took action to clean up King Qingchuan first, Lord Liang was calm on the surface, but in fact, he couldn't help but applaud in his heart.

Regardless of whether that rumor is true or not, in the future, the country of geese is also likely to be the next target of Zhaoguo. The grudge between Yan and Zhao had been settled as early as more than ten years ago when Emperor Nanzhao was just a border general. Although the Liang master at that time had only been watching from the wall and did not touch his hands on either side, he had not forgotten what he saw in his eyes at that time.

It's just that Liang Guo is too small, even if it's watching the fire from the other side. The two fierce sparks on the opposite side could burn their homes to ruins as long as they splashed a little bit.

These two must be given a wake-up call, and they must be let know their scruples before they do it.

However, if it is not forced into a certain predicament. Lord Liang was unwilling to go to the Northern Wild Goose Kingdom to seek peace first.

First, Lord Liang does not have this confidence, the impression that the Emperor of Yan Kingdom gave him in the past is too deep, and Lord Liang also knows in his heart that Yan Country does have the capital to look down on him. In such a situation of equal forces, even if you seek peace, you are very likely to be closed. Taking a step back, although it doesn't seem to be very likely at the moment, Lord Liang still has a trace of expectation in his heart. Let Nanzhao kill the majesty of the northern geese.

Watching the person who looks down on him, but he is angry and can't speak out, is beaten by others, which can be said to be the most refreshing thing for those who watch the excitement!

Secondly. Compared to the helplessness of the wild goose country, he turned to Nanzhao. Lord Liang has already figured out something useful. Ruan Luo is the key to making Emperor Nanzhao worried. Ruan Luo's father had a fateful friendship with Emperor Nanzhao, and this relationship is secondary, and the key point lies in the rumored picture.

More than ten years ago, when Emperor Nanzhao was still guarding the border in northern Xinjiang, there was a famous Ruan military advisor in the northern Xinjiang in the Wang family's army, if there was no accident, this person was Ruan Luo's father Ruan Chenggang. No one knows what Ruan Chenggang was taught from, but the art of war he mastered was almost a method of using troops specifically to restrain Beiyan.

When Ruan Chenggang first joined the Wang family's army, he seemed to be very low-key, and the number of people in the army who remembered his name was very limited. It wasn't until later that the Wang family army went south to seize power, and Ruan Chenggang's name seemed to suddenly appear, but it was like a bamboo. But any city position laid out by him is almost nine times out of ten. Even if they can't take it, the legions on their side will be able to retreat and minimize their losses.

However, this lucky star of the Wang family's army only shined in the northern Xinjiang for less than two years, and he could not move to Nanzhao Kyoto to continue to assist Wang Chi, and died of illness on the way south.

Ruan Chenggang's death made Wang Chi heartbroken, but it relieved Emperor Beiyan.

In the first year of Zhaoli, the first year of Wang Chi's reign in Nanzhao, Beiyan continued to have provocative messages to ride the north wind to the south, but at that time, Nanzhao was empty of national strength after the war, and it was not appropriate to start a war with Beiyan after the repeated collision with Nanzhou.

If it weren't for these fears, according to the temper of the Northern Wild Goose Kingdom, how could he use rumors to confuse people's public opinion, and if he wanted to fight, he would directly the guy and go south.

In the first year of Zhaoli, Wang Dahu just had a vicious fight, and he set off his old club that had been squeezing him. The big Yan family in the north has just changed the head of the family and killed a group of old slaves, and it is necessary to seize the time to train a new group of ministers to consolidate power for the new monarch.

At that time, both families were in a relatively critical period, and they really needed peace first, and they could not fight. But it just so happened that at this time, Nan Zhao came up with a warlike and proficient figure in the art of war: Ruan Chenggang! ――
