Chapter 223: Betrayal
Lan Sheng blushed in shame, only lowered her head, and took a sip of the wine in her glass. The wine was a little spicy, but she held back her cough. He hadn't asked her for advice, but she wasn't going to say no.
Thinking of his refusal, Lan Sheng raised his eyes again and secretly glanced at Zuo Hao, who was smiling like a flower, and saw that he was also secretly looking at him, and his face turned a little red. She stood up a little embarrassed and said, "I...... I'm a little drunk, so I'll go back and rest first. ”
After saying that, he got up and ran out of the main hall, but behind him was the laughter of everyone.
Yan Zenyi looked at the back of the blue dress running away, and there were many feelings in his heart. The people around her seem to be about to become pairs, but how long will she be able to stay with that person?
The banquet dispersed, and the blue cloth returned to his Qiankun Hall alone. Looking at this empty and gorgeous hall, he was a little unaccustomed and a little dazed. The reason why it all went so smoothly was only because he had made a deal with that person, and that person had already taken care of everything for him.
He had thought that he would be overjoyed and relieved by all this. But no, all this was so easy because of betrayal. The rest of the way, he was even more confused, on the one hand, he was a person who was kind to him, and on the other hand, he was a friend who treated him with sincerity.
betrayed a friend for the sake of kindness, and the consequences were not only betrayal and separation, but also the destruction of the country and family. But now, does he still have a choice? I'm afraid that the person who coerced him with grace can beat himself back to his original form with a single finger now? In fact, he still prefers the rivers and lakes, there are not so many twists and turns, only happiness and hatred, and there is wine today and drunk today.
But what about his sister? Because of the mistake of fleeing back then, she lingered as a slave for more than ten years. Do you want her to go back to that life now? He knew that no matter which side he compromised with now, the best outcome might be to be a puppet emperor. Now he can only bet on who will be the winner.
Is it really wholeheartedly helping Zuo Hao to ascend to the emperor, or is it pretending to assist, but in fact, Huang Que annexed Dayue in one fell swoop? Lan Yi rubbed his eyebrows a little sleepily, he was real, he couldn't make a choice.
They stayed in Changguo for a few more days, firstly, the new emperor had to deal with a lot of affairs to deal with when he ascended the throne, and secondly, it would take some time to re-deploy the troops. Several people are indeed tired and out of breath after two months of continuous rotation, and they can take advantage of this gap to rest for a few days.
"Miss, do you want to go to the city today? There is a very famous Maocai in Maocheng, we can try it. Although Fenghua has been by Yan Zenyi's side these days, he has already inquired with the palace maids around him. Knowing that his master is a master who loves to eat, he gives priority to food.
"Cooking?" Yan Zenyi raised his eyebrows, there are also steamed vegetables in modern times, it seems, it's just spicy hot, right? But it's true that I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time, and when Yan Zenyi thought of spicy, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and nodded, "You go and ask the senior brothers if they want to go together?" ”
"Go." As soon as Yan Zenyi's voice fell, Zuo Hao had already walked in from outside the hall with a folding fan.
Zuo Hao is wearing an azure robe today, with a belt embroidered with blue desmodium around his waist, and a folding fan in his hand, just like a noble son. Yan Zenyi couldn't help but smack his tongue when he saw it, sure enough, it was a person who relied on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and the coarse cloth short fight that the senior brother wore when he did not return to the mountain was really suitable for the name Zhao Ritian.
"Senior brother and I? Then do you want to call the little sister together? Yan Zenyi couldn't help but quip.
Zuo Hao blushed instantly, and said hesitantly, "She is not free today, so I and the second senior brother will go to play with you, you will wear men's clothes, and we will go shopping casually." ”
Yan Zenyi saw the embarrassment on his face, so he didn't say a few more words. It's just that I suddenly remembered that in the past in Da Zhou, where the food was delicious, Lan Yi always knew best, I don't know if he would know the same in his own Changguo?
Ling Yu is very serious today, although he was also an unsmiling person in the past, but today he is a little colder than in the past. Yan Chanyi didn't dare to talk to Ling Yu all the way, but he also saw that what kind of food to eat when he went out of the palace this time might just be a disguise, and Ling Yu probably had something to discuss with them secretly.
Ling Yu seemed to have gone out of the palace to see the terrain a long time ago, chose a restaurant that was not very good in business, and directly asked the shopkeeper to take them to the most secluded private room.
"Anyway, what's going on?" As soon as Yan Zenyi sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea first.
Ling Yu has always been a person whose face does not change when Mount Tai collapses, but today he obviously has some uncontrollable anxiety. It's just that listening to Yan Zenyi's question so directly, he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Senior sister, I only asked this sentence from the perspective of believing you," Ling Yu's face was serious, and a pair of amber eyes stared at Yan Chanyi tightly without blinking, "The 30,000 Yan family army outside the city, do you know where to go?" ”
Yan Zenyi was stunned by this question, "Aren't you still waiting outside the city?" Where else could they go without my orders? ”
Ling Yu stared at her suspiciously, not missing a trace of her expression, and finally sighed and said, "We may have been deceived." ”
"The Yan family army is no longer outside the city?" Yan Chanyi still can't believe it, she borrowed soldiers from her brother, and in the end, the 50,000 soldiers left in the border city were taken away by her, and her brother counted her for half a day for this matter!
Now that the Leader Token is still with her, if all those soldiers disappear, it only means that someone has a tiger talisman and sent them away. She explained very clearly to her brother, and he also expressed his understanding, so he handed over the leader token to her, and he would never greet her out of the blue, so he took all 30,000 people away.
"I left last night, and there is not a single one left." Ling Yu was a little annoyed, "You said that Lan Yi is your person and can be trusted. But 30,000 soldiers just left, didn't he even know? ”
Yan Zenyi couldn't refute it for a while, Ling Yu was right, this matter was strange everywhere.
"I ...... If these 30,000-word family army were brought back to Da Zhou by someone else, my brother must have had an accident. Yan Zenyi's brows frowned, although she was a soldier who borrowed from her brother, she secretly borrowed it in private. After all, Da Zhou had just reached a military agreement with Changguo, and she took Da Zhou's soldiers to turn the Changguo royal family against him, and if this matter was reported, it would be punished for treason with the enemy.
Zuo Hao next to him also understood the seriousness of the matter, his brows were deeply locked for a while, and he spoke for a long time, "Actually, I haven't seen my little junior sister since that night." Every time I went to the princess's mansion, I was directly stopped outside the princess's mansion and was not allowed to enter. ”
"In the past few days, Lan Yi has found a few generals to order troops, is it really to help us regain the throne of Dayue?" Ling Yu frowned and said slowly, "I've always felt that we went a little too smoothly against Dachang. If this is just a ploy by the blue coat, and he actually wants to swallow us Dayue without spending any troops, then we may already be a turtle in an urn. ”
Yan Zenyi's heart is full of bad premonitions now, and for some reason, she always feels that all this seems to be coming for her. The scheming person behind her knew that she would borrow troops directly from the border city Yan Youhong, because of the civil strife in Changchang, the border city would be peaceful for a few days, and the soldiers in the border city would just be idle.
"Do you know how many soldiers the blue coat ordered?" Yan Zenyi's fingers tapped nervously on the table, and his mind was also analyzing all this a hundred times.
"There are only 20,000, but Changguo already has 100,000 troops, together with your 150,000 Yanjia army, guarding the gate of Dayue." Ling Yu frowned, this situation was really a little embarrassing.
Yan Chanyi can't let the 150,000 Yan family troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty retreat, that is a collaboration with the enemy, it is a fake military order, no matter which one, it is enough for Yan Zen Yi to punish the nine clans. But now they don't have many soldiers and horses in their hands at all, and if they follow the blue clothes who don't know if they can be trusted or not, they don't know if they are in the mouth of a tiger.
"It's also strange to say, if the 250,000 army really wants to attack the city, Dayue should have already been beaten enough at this time, why is there no news from the front line now?" Zuo Hao wanted to mention this question a few days ago, every time the 250,000 troops attacked, they only reached the point, and Da Yue was already short of troops, so it was impossible to resist for such a long time.
Yan Zenyi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and for more than two months, there was no real fight, which is indeed a thing worth pondering.
She hesitated for a moment, took out another black token from her waist, and handed it directly to Ling Yu's hand and said, "This is the 100,000 black armor army I secretly raised in Shizhou, Fenghua will take you to Shizhou to order troops, you take a detour and go directly to surround the capital of Dayue, no matter what, help Zuo Hao ascend the throne first." ”
Fenghua was shocked, and knelt down directly and said, "Miss! I can't leave Miss! ”
Every time she wasn't by Miss's side, something would happen to Miss. Well, she selectively forgot, even if she was by Miss's side, Miss had a few accidents.
"Don't worry, I'll stay here with Senior Brother to see what kind of medicine is sold in the blue-clothed gourd." Yan Zenyi pulled Fenghua up, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about me, have you forgotten that my kung fu is even better than you now?" ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing, you go back to Shizhou this time and help me protect my sister-in-law and my little nephew. The disappearance of the 30,000-word family army is unknown, and my brother must have had an accident. I will send my senior brother to Dayue, and I will go back to Dazhou to save my brother. Yan Zenyi directly interrupted Fenghua.
She didn't know if there was a problem with her distribution, but there was no other way around it right now. There is such a stalemate between the three kingdoms, she can't figure out what the purpose of the person who planned all this is, but no matter what the purpose of this person is, it will not hurt her to support the senior brother first.
