After Li Shanye left, his life was still as peaceful as before, and he only needed to stay in his Jiangbei Military Yamen every day, even if he occasionally went to the city to inspect the city defense, Yangzhou Taishou Mansion would not send people to interfere, and Sui Hua rarely came. Since it was predicted that Yangzhou would no longer become the main battlefield, Sui Hua had also lost interest in Sima Yi, the titular generalissimo of Jiangbei soldiers and horses, and seemed not afraid of Sima Yi seizing power with him.

But in the end, Sima Yi still has to guard against the people who are too guarded by Yangzhou, and he also has to guard against the people who have intentions against him in the imperial court or King Hui, just like Li Shanye reminded that there are too many people in the Southern Dynasty who have ill intentions towards him.

At night, Sima Yi would sleep very late, he seemed to be doing nothing, and he could even stop and think for a few hours in front of the chessboard or map, and Huan'er, who was waiting next to him, was basically adapted. After getting late, Sima Yi usually didn't need her to stay up late, and would let her go back to rest. Although Huan'er's girl first knew the taste of sorrow and wanted to be obsessed with Sima Yi, Huan'er still had some inferiority complex, knowing that even if the Sima family now took her by her side and loved her as a woman, she would never be Sima Yi's main wife, not even a concubine, just a maid.

"Childe, then Huan'er will go to sleep first."

This day lasted until late at night, and Sima Yi still had no intention of resting. Since Li Shanye left, Sima Yi's melancholy has deepened a little, he could still discuss with Li Shanye before, but now everything has to be considered by himself, no one has opinions as a reference, and he can't get more news from other channels.

Sima Yi nodded, and Huan'er got up and went back to the room. Sima walked out of the hall and went into the courtyard, when the moon was dark and the wind was high. There was no one outside, but it seemed that the atmosphere around him was very solemn, as if a deadly aura was gradually approaching him.

"Who?" Sima Yu suddenly asked in a low voice.

Because Sima Yi felt the murderous aura behind him even more awe-inspiring, but he didn't dare to turn around, because the next moment he said this, there was already a cold weapon on his neck.

Sima thought about it. It shouldn't be someone who came to kill him. This person can sneak into the heavily guarded Jiangbei Defense Yamen outside, and if you want to kill him, you only need a sword, and you don't need to be as threatening to him as you are now.

"What about others?" The person behind him asked, it was a woman's voice, but it didn't seem to be particularly young.

At least Sima Yi listened to the voice, and felt as if he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember who it was when he thought about it carefully.

"Your Excellency is asking Mr. Yamano?" Sima asked tentatively, in this yamen, except for him. There is only Huan'er, Huan'er has no relatives, and he shouldn't have anything to do with anyone, and this person behind him is still a martial arts master. On the contrary, Li Shanye himself has a background in martial arts, and Sima Yi has long suspected that Li Shanye's own motives for being involved in politics are not pure.

The man behind him didn't answer, but instead moved his long sword closer to Sima Yi's neck.

Sima Yi tried not to startle the snake, so he had to stand there, and he didn't answer. Just a stalemate with the woman behind him. In the end, it was the woman who said: "Li Shanye is Li Shanye, and he still has to call Mr." Say, where did he go? ”

This sound made Sima Yi feel very familiar, and it had a bit of the taste of Qiansu oak, but Qiansu oak did not know martial arts, and Qiansu oak's voice would not be so old. Sima thought to himself. Could it be that this woman has anything to do with Qiansu oak?

"He went to the north, and this trip went north to Jiangdu, and he sent a letter." Sima replied calmly.

Since the other party had no intention of killing him, it was possible that he wanted to kill him after asking questions first, and in the end, Sima Yi's mind was also very calm. It was good for him to feel as if he was dead, at least he didn't have to think about so many things anymore, and he didn't have a good rest every day.

The woman seemed to be a little questioning: "I said that I would never return to Jiangdu in this life, but I actually broke my word." ”

It was as if a gust of wind was blowing away, and when Sima Yi felt that even the aura of slaughter had disappeared, he turned around, only to find that there was nothing behind him. Sima Yi looked around, the courtyard was deep and the walls were high, and there was no trace of anyone coming and going, to say that this woman was like a ghost, how to come and how to go he didn't see it at all.

"Strange, what about people?" Sima Yi looked around again, and finally entered the house, and went to the bedroom in the back hall, where Huan'er had also fallen asleep, and the surroundings were calm and quiet, and there was no special noise.

When Sima Yi came out of the hall again, the woman's words seemed to echo in his ears when she left: "I said that I will never return to Jiangdu in this life......"

seemed to reveal something to him, Sima Yi sat down and thought about it carefully, this Li Shanye seems to be inextricably linked with Jiang, so the woman has such feelings, but he doesn't know who the woman is, and it's hard to say what the actual meaning of this is.

Another sleepless night.

When the sky is bright outside, Sima Yi returned from the six gods in the shaking god, the most painful thing is to torture himself all night with some troubles, Sima Yu wants to end this life, he can go back to Jinling, or go back to Jiangdu, or simply go to the sky to travel, the fame and fortune can make him let go and stop thinking about it. But in the end, there are still too many things that cannot be controlled by the will, and after being in them, Sima Yi will feel tired and feel that it is difficult for him to get out of it.

"Childe, haven't slept yet?"

Huan'er rubbed her eyes and came out, and saw that the light in the hall was still on, she thought that Sima Qi had fallen asleep in the hall, and wanted to come over to take a look, only to find that Sima Qi was still sitting in the same position as when she left yesterday.

Sima Yi looked at Huan'er, Huan'er didn't look like a scheming person, he didn't want to suspect the people around him, but from the moment Huan'er came to him, he felt as if there was a shadow following him, and then the assassin happened, and then he was in Jinling City to avoid being chased by King Hui's people, and then he was found by Li Shanye on the way back to Jiangdu in the north.

Sima Yi is also a little attached to Huan'er, a woman who even entrusts her body to him, shouldn't be scheming, right?

But when this question was asked, even Sima Yi himself seemed to be a little unconvinced. Looking at Huan'er, he turned out to be distracted again, and what he suspected was the well-behaved girl who looked at him with a surprised gaze.

In the end, Sima shook his head to dispel the strange thoughts in his heart, and nodded slightly: "Hmm." Haven't slept yet. I'm a little sleepy. ”

Saying that, Sima got up and was about to go to the bedroom, Huan'er said: "Childe, let Huan'er get you a basin of water first and scrub it a little before sleeping, you can sleep more deeply." ”

Sima Yi lost his mind for another moment, and finally shook his head, rejecting Huan'er's kindness. He's not guarding against Huan'er. Instead, he felt guilty for his suspicion of Huan'er, although Huan'er didn't know anything, and she was stunned and didn't know what was going on.

Just when Sima Yi just lay down, there were many things coiled in his mind, from when he and Han Jian went south together, when he was carefree and still his eldest young master Sima, to when Han Jian disappeared after a sudden accident, he was also under house arrest by Zhu Tongjing's people, and then all kinds of things. All of them hit his thoughts like shadows one by one, and finally just when these thoughts seemed to be about to converge to find a breakthrough, suddenly hurried footsteps came, but it was Huan'er who hurriedly ran in.

"What's the matter?" Sima Yi sat up and looked at her without waiting for Huan'er to speak, with the nervousness of Huan'er's face, there should be something big. Because Huan'er can be regarded as being able to deal with changes on weekdays, even if Sui Hua comes, she just comes in and makes a sound.

Huan'er's face turned a little pale, and she said even more nervously: "He's ...... Taishou is back. ”

"Taishou?" Sima Yu reacted. Only then did he nod his head to show that he understood, no wonder Huan'er was so nervous and scared. It turned out that Huan'er met the former owner Xu Ding, who guarded Li Fangwei. It was Li Fangwei who gave Huan'er to him, and Huan'er had said before that during the days of Taishou Mansion, what he was most afraid of was Li Fangwei going, because he didn't know when she and her little sisters would be given to someone in the court.

In the summer, Sima also slept in his clothes before going to sleep. Then he got down from the bed and asked, "Where are the people?" ”

Saying that he was already walking outside, Li Fangwei went to the north through his recommendation, and was personally dispatched by Empress Xiao Zhan, and the main task was to negotiate the details of peace talks with the Northern Dynasty. Revision of the national credentials. But Li Fangwei's trip to the north this time was also when the Northern Dynasty was preparing to go south to unify the rivers and mountains, Li Fangwei returned with a feather, and there was no news for several months, even Sima Yi even suspected that Li Fangwei was secretly detained by Han Jian, but he never thought that Li Fangwei was still back, it was better like coming back to ask for guilt.

When he arrived in the hall, Li Fangwei was really sitting there, Li Fangwei at this time did not have the same bearing as when he left, and the whole person not only looked sloppy, but also seemed to be fleeing for his life in a hurry.

Hearing the footsteps, Li Fangwei stood up and looked at Sima Yi with complicated eyes, but he let out a long sigh: "Sir, I have not been able to complete the mission entrusted by Your Majesty and you. No face to come back. ”

Sima Yi smiled, in fact, from the beginning of sending Li Fangwei to the north, no one dared to be sure what Han Jian's thoughts were. Or at that time, Sima Yi was still thinking that even if Han Jian really had the ambition to unify the rivers and mountains, he could postpone it for two years, and the Southern Dynasty sent people to revise the national credentials was actually a buffer time for both sides. The things he entrusted to Li Fangwei are not complicated, they can be accomplished, but in fact, Xiao Zhan will not blame him too much after he comes back, Sima Yi knows very well that Xiao Zhan is a woman with great wisdom, and it is clear that the things that cannot be negotiated have nothing to do with Li Fangwei, how could Xiao Zhan take the matter to Li Fangwei?

"It's good to be back." Sima Yi waved his hand, "Huan'er, go get some clean clothes." ”

"Hmm."

Huan'er trotted all the way out of the hall, Li Fangwei was full of disgrace, obviously suffering a lot on the way back.

Sima Yi asked, "Your way back has gone well?" ”

Although he asked knowingly, it seemed to make Li Fangwei open the conversation. Li Fangwei told all the hard work along the way.

At the beginning of the year, when he learned that Han Jian had no intention of revising the alliance with the Southern Dynasty, Li Fangwei was also worried that he would be blamed for returning to the DPRK, and he hesitated a little, but in the end, because the Northern Dynasty sent someone to send him, he could only leave to return to the Southern Dynasty. It's a pity that this road is his nightmare, first in Yuzhou encountered a rebel attack, he was separated from the people who escorted him south, and then he went to Yuzhou City alone to return to the DPRK through the escort of the Northern Dynasty soldiers and horses, but encountered someone robbing on the road.

In the end, Li Fangwei finally returned to the boundary of Yangzhou, and because he came from the Northern Dynasty, he was captured as a fine work, but fortunately he still had some silver on him, and he was able to return to Yangzhou by bribing the sergeants, and then mixed in with the refugees who entered the city and entered the city, and then went to the Yamen, the commander-in-chief of Jiangbei Military Affairs, to find Sima Yu.

"Sir, if I hadn't heard that Mr. is now in Yangzhou, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return to Jinling to report to Your Majesty." Li Fangwei finally knelt on the ground, as if crying.

But in fact, Sima Yi can also feel that this Li Fangwei's survival is very strong, after so many hardships, if Li Fangwei didn't want to delay and didn't want to go back to Yangzhou, as long as he showed his true identity and took out the envoy Jieyue that Xiao Zhan gave him, he would still be easy to come to Yangzhou.

Now Li Fangwei said that he was apologizing, but he was also asking Sima to help him come up with ideas, and he was even more tempting. Li Fangwei didn't dare to go back to Jinling, knowing that Sima Yi had to come to ask him in Yangzhou, because Li Fangwei knew that even if Sima Yi felt that he was guilty in this matter, he would not push him to die.

Sima Yi helped Li Fangwei up, and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry too much, Your Majesty has no intention of blaming." I will repair the book and go to Jinling, and I will show you what happened, and see how Your Majesty recovers. ”

Li Fangwei bowed again: "Thank you, Mr. for saving your life." ”

Li Fangwei was so scared because he was still a person from King Hui's Mansion, and he was almost certain to die when he returned to Jinling. There is at least a glimmer of life when he comes to defect to Sima Yi, because he also heard on the road that Sima Yi was appointed to Yangzhou because it was the result of a joint compromise between the empress and the Hui Wangfu, so as long as he followed Sima Yi, no matter what the final outcome of the war between the Southern and Northern Dynasties was, he would be safe.

If he wins, then Sima Yi is the hero who guards Yangzhou, and he will have merit as an assistant. If defeated, it is not a big deal, but it is the result that Li Fangwei wants to see, in the end, Sima Yi is a friend of the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, Sima Yu's status will not be reduced but will be promoted, he has experience in the Northern Dynasty before, and he is a minister of the Southern Dynasty, Han Jian, as the emperor who unified the south, must use the southerners to govern the south in order to win the support of the Jiangnan gentry, Sima Yi will definitely recommend him to occupy a place in the court.

This is the main reason why Li Fangwei came to Sima Yi, since Sima Yi pushed him out, he has to come back now to settle the account with Sima Yi, in fact, he is also waiting for the dividends.

But Sima Yi did not remind him that the real danger now is not the war itself, but the danger hidden behind the war. If someone wants to kill him, Li Fangwei will definitely be a ghost who has been unjustly killed, and he has nothing to say. (To be continued.) )
