On the magnificent hall, the ancient treasure Ding stood quietly in the center, and the light smoke of Tingting rose without a trace like a ghost, and the rich fragrance spread in the hall.

"Defending the country is so hospitable, and even the face of the emperor can't let me take a look at it? This is disrespectful to my Xiqi Emperor! The sharp voice was particularly harsh in the Jinluan Palace. A man in a strange suit was a little indignant.

"Bold! My country is a country of etiquette, where is you Xiqi barbarians comparable. Light gauze curtains are ancestral rituals, how can you be so rude? Hearing the rebellious words, an old minister in the palace was furious and scolded sternly.

There was a chorus of echoes.

In the red gauze curtain, a faint fragrance spread, Wei Ning reclined on the dragon chair, and the slender jade fingers tapped the back of the chair one by one, and his erratic gaze converged to a point through the curtain.

The rebellious man smiled at the corners of his mouth, exuding a dangerous aura all over his body. As if sensing something, he suddenly raised his eyes, and the two lines of sight were far away from each other through a curtain.

The second prince of Xiqi, Gonghui Pu.

"Actually, this king is also a little curious!" Gong Huipu smiled playfully.

"The first empress in the history of Shikoku... What does it look like? ”

The king of Xiqi is terminally ill and hopeless, and the second prince of the four princes of the Xiqi royal family, Gong Huipu, is ambitious, and he has a heavy army and is powerful, and he is the most likely person to inherit the throne of Xiqi...

Qingli's voice leaked out of the curtain: "Second Prince, I want to remind you..."

Gong Huipu smiled and looked at the red gauze curtain from afar. As if intrigued by what she said next.

The steady and majestic female voice said lightly. "At this moment, under your feet is the land of my country!"

Gong Wanpu's face did not change and said, "Your Majesty, is this threatening this king?" ”

Qi Ling, who was standing next to him, coughed lightly. Second prince, can you stop messing around?

There was another voice from behind. "The second prince is right to think so."

He has been stabbed in his back since he went to the hall, and when he heard this sentence, Gong Huipu chuckled. "How many years haven't you seen each other? His Royal Highness the King of Changyang? ”

"This king wanted to go to the prince's mansion to drink wine after seeing His Majesty, but he forgot that the prince was also in the court, which is really rude!"

Wei Yan was in the first row and looked at Gong Huipu, and his face was like a crown of jade with a dark blue official uniform. "Although this king has long since removed his armor, but..."

"If the second prince is interested, Wei Guo'er should carry a gun and cross the horse and go to Oolong Valley to fight!"

Wei Ning laughed silently in the tent, his eyes were full of flamboyant brightness. Sure enough, Uncle Huang is still powerful, this is a naked threat! Gong Huipu should be angry to death now!

Oolong Valley is a dangerous place outside the city of Hongcheng, the border pass of the country, in the thirty-seventh year of Taikang, the decisive battle between East Chu and Xiqi in the Oolong Valley, Changyang Wang Weiyan strategized, and the first son of the four countries went to the battlefield thousands of miles away to offer plans. The battle of Oolong Valley caused heavy casualties to the Qi State, and it was no longer able to confront Eastern Chu.

It is a great shame for the commander Gong Huipu, and now four years have passed, and Xiqi's national strength should have recovered normally. But since the five-year war, the Xiqi Emperor lingered on the sickbed and had no intention of fighting, and the princes in the country were even more in turmoil in Xiqi for the throne, which was already a well-known thing in the four countries, and Xiqi still had time to restore its national strength.

Xiqi can't withstand the war at all at this moment, that is the rhythm of the country's destruction. It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and if a war starts, I am afraid that it will take some time to win, and Yasukuni is eyeing Qi Guo, and the border army is ready to move. Qi Guo should have come to ask for help this time.

It's just that why at this time, what is the conspiracy?

Wei Ning has a lot of thoughts, everything for the monarch must be foresighted, and those who achieve great things are all of the best grades, but sometimes they think too much and often fall into a dead end.

Yesterday, Ah Zhao had sent a message to Ji Yan, I don't know what he thinks?

There was a commotion in the hall.

A minister said, "Does Qi want to fight?" We are not afraid of you! ”

"Yes! Didn't you forget the battle in Oolong Valley back then? ”

"Has Xiqi's national strength recovered now? Have all the people who died in just four years come back? ”

Gong Huipu's expression remained unchanged, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if they were not talking about themselves, but like a theater watcher.

Wei Yan stood quietly in place, no longer speaking.

The war between the two countries lasted for five years, and a large part of it was because of him. If it weren't for the fact that the god of war King Changyang and the first prince of the Four Kingdoms, Ji Yan, coupled with the mediocrity and incompetence of the King of Xiqi, the intrigue easily separated their father-son relationship, and it would take some time for the defense to defeat the Qi country.

What a hassle! Wei Ning opened his mouth to stop the bigger commotion. "Since you have come to me to defend the country, no matter where you come from, you should be a guest. It's just that the second prince also needs to abide by the laws of our country. ”

Wei Ning continued: "Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet with Zhong Aiqing to entertain the second prince, and then we will discuss the affairs of the two countries, what does the second prince think?" ”

Gong Hui looked at the red tent and bowed slightly. "That's great!"

——————

A team of palace maids walked by, and the faint fragrance of flowers was permeated.

The mist was rising, the beauty took off her clothes, and the three thousand green silks were scattered. Half-leaning on the stone wall, only a hazy figure makes people can't help but reverie.

The fragrant mist clouds are damp, and the clear jade arms are cold.

This is what Peiyu saw when she came to Huaqing Palace.

"Put your things down and go down!"

"Yes." The palace maid put down the tray in her hand, didn't dare to look up, and slowly withdrew with her head down.

Peiyu picked up a tray and walked over to Wei Ning to sprinkle the petals in the tray.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly come to the hot springs? Although it was already April, the weather was still a little cool. ”

Wei Ning brushed off the hot spring water, looking at the hot spring water covered with petals with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It seems like I haven't been here for a long time, and I suddenly remembered that I came over."

"The queen mother used to love this pool..."

"When I was a child, Jiahui and I often came to play, once Jiahui was still soaked, and the queen mother punished me for copying "The Female Ring" three times, and the eldest brother and the second brother secretly came to help me copy it after finishing their homework. Since then, the queen mother and her brothers have not allowed us to come. ”

"But later, I and Jiahui still came secretly, and they always ate osmanthus cake while soaking in the hot springs, but now I don't like the taste."

She fell into the memories, and a kind of sadness and desolation hung over her. But suddenly he laughed softly, as if he had thought of something.

Peiyu sprinkled all the petals into the smoking water, went to Wei Ning's back to pinch her shoulder, and comforted her: "Your Majesty, that is long in the past. The queen mother will be distressed in heaven to know that you are living a hard life now. ”

The moonlight is like water, and the shadows of the trees are dappled. Yue'er faintly flashed in the sea of clouds, and it didn't look very real. The evening breeze brings a chill.

Wei Ning looked up at the crescent moon, and not far away was a section of palace wall hidden by a bamboo forest. "The queen mother should be very happy that she left here!"

Peiyu wanted to say something, but she held her hand. "Let's go down!"

Peiyu had to withdraw from Huaqing Palace, Wei Ning turned her back to her in the misty hot spring water, her body was ethereal like a fairy, but she couldn't stay in the world...

On a tree not far away, Ah Zhao leaned on his sword and looked at the stars. It's just that there seems to be only one star shining in the sky this night, and the night breeze is a little cool, so he doesn't care about the collar of his clothes.

In the silence of the night, only the slight sound of the wind could be heard. There seemed to be a subtle sound hidden in it, Ah Zhao's eyes were sharp, his head was slightly tilted, and a stone was embedded in the trunk of the tree.

Under the moonlight, there was a vague figure on the palace wall.

Ah Zhao grasped the sword, tapped his toes, and quietly chased after him.

When the man saw him coming after him, he lifted his body and turned to go out of the palace.

The wind is hunting, the man is just moving forward, Ah Zhao doesn't know how long he has been chasing, and he has always maintained a specific distance between the two.

Ah Zhao sensed that something was wrong, this person didn't seem to want to attack him, just wanted to lure him out of the palace.

Wrong! Tune the tiger away from the mountain, princess... There is danger!

Ah Zhao turned around and was about to go back, but after a few steps, the man in front of him came back and stopped him.

The two figures were instantly entangled, but the man was on par with him with his bare hands, and the two of them figured out the details of each other in a few moves.

As soon as the cold light appeared under the moon, Ah Zhao drew his sword.

Now he was worried about the princess's safety, and the man in front of him was obviously difficult to dismiss, but he had to try.

Huaqing Palace was still silent.

A hand as blue as white jade gently stroked the trunk of the tree, and in a moment the embedded stone fell into his palm, and he played with the stone and sat down against the tree as Ah Zhao had done before.

As far as the eye could see, a few branches and leaves were growing luxuriantly, and with a wave of his sleeve, half of the branches were cut off, and the remaining half of the bark hung in the air, and his vision widened.

The hot spring mist was steaming, and the woman leaned against the stone wall on the side, her satin-like black hair scattered in the thin young grass, and her whole body was soaked in the water, revealing a touch of fragrant shoulders, as if she was asleep.

He stared at her motionlessly, like a rare treasure, and accidentally lost his mind.

A gentle breeze blows away the thin clouds that obscure the moonlight. Under the clear light, his eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, revealing a little tiredness from running around for days, and his ink-colored clothes are swaying in the wind, looking unique.

In a grove far from the palace, in the night, two figures were entangled. Ah Zhao couldn't escape no matter what, knowing that this person didn't make a ruthless move to entangle him here.

It's just that for some reason, a familiar feeling came to my heart after a fight.

Ah Zhao suppressed the inexplicable feeling in his heart, found the right time to make a false move, and slashed towards the door of the man's face with a sword.

"Zhao!" An exclamation.

Ah Zhao hurriedly changed the direction of the sword, this move used eight successful powers, and the gong was reversed, and he had to use his power to suppress the true qi in his body.

Suddenly, Ah Zhao looked at the culprit in front of him. "Ji Yu, if I slash down with a sword, your face will be gone."

Ji Yu didn't care, grinning and patting him on the shoulder. "Your skills have improved again, and it won't be long before the two of us will be able to draw."

Ah Zhao brushed his hand away and inserted the sword into the scabbard. "Since you're here, it seems that Ji Xiang has also returned."

Ji Yu said, "Don't you wonder how I stole it?" ”

"He's very good, it can't be you, no! Could it be..."Ah Zhao was definitely not him, and then he thought of something, and was suddenly a little surprised.

Ji Yu looked quite annoyed: "By the way, it's Jinyu." I really didn't expect him to steal it out right under your nose, and I'll have to feed him a month's worth of horses when I go back. Ah Zhao, you have made me miserable! ”

Ah Zhao asked, "What's the mystery of that letter?" ”

"There is no mystery, it's just a lifelong event related to the son..."Ji Yu pretended to be profound.

Ah Zhao was noncommittal. Transporting light work, galloping towards the palace.

Ji Yu hurriedly caught up. "Let's talk a little longer, don't worry about your little princess, my son-in-law is here!"

Ah Zhao said angrily: "It's because Ji Xiang is here..."

"The princess is soaking in the hot springs in Huaqing Palace..."

Ji Yu sneered and no longer stopped. Childe, it is a matter of His Majesty's innocence, and his subordinates can no longer stop you for you, so you can ask for more blessings.

After a while, Ji Yan looked outside the palace wall and sighed lightly.

The branches hanging in mid-air finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell.

Wei Ning was awakened by the slight noise, strange that she had fallen asleep inexplicably, the night wind was blowing a little cold on her body, she got up and called Peiyu in.

Ji Yan reluctantly glanced at it a few more times, and Fang left silently.

At this time, the night is sultry.
