Under the disguise of Yunxi, the image of "the regent favors the princess and the desolate political affairs" quickly became neutral in Cloud City.

Seriously, Xiao Yezi has known Yunxi for so long, and she always thought that Yunxi was a gentle and arrogant character, but what she didn't expect was that this guy could really be so ...... So coquettish. Compared with Yang Yizhao, he is really better. Gentle and affectionate, domineering and arrogant, wandering, simply omnipotent. This is probably the legend - one man with a thousand faces?

She didn't know what he thought, she knew that she was going to be made red-faced by him every day.

He took her with him everywhere he went, hugged her, and spoiled her, as if he couldn't live without her. School training ground, main general camp, city gate tower...... There's no place where he can't act.

She also hid it well, only pretending to be delicate and weak, laughing and beating him. He also responded with a kiss, and in full view of everyone, he continued to talk absurdly.

Gradually, he did not go to patrol the city, nor did he supervise the military drills in the gang, and he did not mention the matter of attacking Yanjin to conquer the lost land, but only spent a lot of military expenses every day, holding small leaves in the sleeping tent to drink and have fun, singing and dancing. Even in the middle of the night, there were unpleasant words that flowed out of the tabernacle, and it sounded red-faced.

Everyone said that the helper had changed his sex, some despised it, some disdainful it, and some were puzzled.

Loyalists such as Cheng Che and Tang Ying all sighed to themselves, but they were helpless.

There are even people such as autumn according to the water, the gods come at night, and they can't rush into the sleeping tent to scold the little leaves in front of the country, the chaos of the country, and the water-based poplar.

Yunxi ignored this, and only continued to act willfully, allowing the army to whisper constantly.

One morning, Xue Yang came to the city of clouds with a long backlog of dignitaries, and asked to see the regent.

However, after waiting for a morning, what I got was Xiao Yezi's message: "The prince is tired today, please ask Xue Tianwang Ming'er to come again." ”

Everyone looked at Xue Yang, Xue Yang broke out on the spot, pulled out a long knife and broke into the camp, and said angrily: "The floods in the south of the Yangtze River are born again, money and food are in short supply, and the people are not happy, but the regent ignores it, and he is still drinking here, doesn't it make the people feel cold!" ”

Yunxi, who was full of wine, sat on the couch, with a few wine bottles poured in front of him, obviously drinking a lot just now. He held Xiao Ye in his arms, leaned on the cushion, stared at Xue Yang coldly with a pair of black eyes, raised his finger and swiped in the air, lazy but with a cold edge: "It's just a flood, I'll break it later." Xue Tianwang asked for the people's life, and his loyalty was commendable, but it was too much to enter the account with a knife, could it be that he wanted to rebel? ”

Xue Yang snorted: "If you don't seek politics in your position, Xue Yang is really unconvinced!" ”

Yun Xi saw that he still refused to relent, and the cold light in his eyes gradually condensed, obviously becoming more and more angry. I only heard him say coldly: "Do you know what crime you should be guilty of colliding with the commander?" ”

Xue Yang's family has been loyal to martyrs for generations, and he has always relied on his identity, but this time he saw Yunxi's unwarranted responsibility, and he refused to back down at all: "I, Xue Yang, only recognize the Lord, how can a person like you who neglect national politics be worthy of being the commander of our country!" It's better to take Zhaoyin to surrender Yanjin as soon as possible to avoid trouble! ”

Yunxi didn't seem to have expected Xue Yang to dare to be disrespectful again, Dengshi's heart was on fire, Dengshi pushed away the little leaf, turned over and sat up, smashed the wine glass in his hand, and reprimanded loudly: "This king is just drinking a few glasses of wine and watching some singing and dancing, and you are here to make a big fuss." There is no doubt about the commander in the army, have you forgotten? Now that I am about to wave my army to the north, you don't think about how to attack, but instead say the words of surrender, wouldn't you be slacking off the morale of the army! Come on, drag me out, and take a hundred military sticks to correct the law! ”

Cheng Che and the others heard the commotion in the tent and had already gathered outside the tent. Now that Yun Xi was furious, Cheng Che and the others hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to the ground one by one, and persuaded each other: "Xue Tianwang is also dedicated to the country, but he is open-mouthed, which angers the gang leader." Please also ask the helper to remember his merits in defending the city for many years, and spare him this time. ”

Yun Xi snorted coldly: "According to your meaning, all meritorious people can enter without passing on, holding a knife to speak, and disrespecting the commander?" If all my men are like this, what is the majesty of me, the regent? Where is this Cloudsdale military law? What a mediocre statement! ”

The military law in Cloud City is as humble as the sky, and when they heard Yun Xi's reprimand in this regard, Cheng Che and the others looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say to plead for Xue Yang.

However, Xue Yang saw that someone came to persuade him, and said loudly: "My Xue family has been a hairpin for generations, full of loyalty, when I made meritorious service, you were still in infancy, Huangkou Xiaoer, how dare you insult me!" ”

When Yun Xi heard this, he was even more angry, and overturned the table on the couch, and then ignored the persuasion of the people around him, and shouted: "Wenchen is admonished, and Wuchen is fighting to the death, which is the rule!" Why, is it a joke to be a military order? ”

A personal soldier had already come up and pressed Xue Yang to the ground. Although Xue Yang was pressed to the ground, his face was still unconvinced, and he was still chattering.

Yunxi said coldly: "Drag it out, and take responsibility in the school training ground." Tell the generals that if anyone dares to disrespect the commander-in-chief, it will be the same! ”

Heavy responsibility in the school training field, that is a public execution, to break the spirit of Xue Tianwang. Everyone saw that the respected Xue Tianwang had been punished, how dare they speak again. Yun Xi moved to the school training ground and personally supervised the punishment, and did not return to the account until the beating of the hundred military sticks. When the executioner saw that Yunxi was present in person, he didn't dare to leave his hand, and he tried his best to fight it. Although Xue Yang has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he is old and unfit after all. By the time the hundred military sticks were finished, Xue Yang had already fainted. Everyone took pity on Xue Yang's suffering, and hurriedly carried Xue Yang back to the guest tent. After resting for two or three hours, Xue Yang woke up leisurely. Everyone was afraid that Xue Yang would suffer in old age, and their hearts were depressed, and they all explained. Xue Yang didn't speak, just sighed. When they saw that they could not be persuaded to understand, they had to disperse.

At this time, it was late at night, Xue Yang looked at the starry sky outside the tent, thinking of the sin he had suffered today, and he was angry and annoyed.

"Alas, I can't imagine that I, Xue Yang, have done my best all my life, but when I get old, I will be humiliated in public by this yellow-mouthed child, it's really ...... Alas......"

Xue Yue was also sad to see his father being beaten like this, and couldn't help crying beside the bed: "Father, don't be sad, everything may have a chance to improve." ”

"What can get better? I think that I, Xue Yang, also have great achievements, I should not be subservient to others, and the court listened to slander, and set up a yellow-mouthed boy like him as the leader of the gang. Hey, I knew that I shouldn't have supported him as regent in the first place, and I didn't think of the legacy of raising tigers. Now that I'm old, I'm a laughing stock, and it's really embarrassing. Alas, it's rare to meet the master, it's hard to meet the master! ”

Suddenly, a hooded man entered the tent and laughed in a low voice: "General Xue, don't feel sorry for yourself, in fact, the Lord is right in front of you, it's just that you are blind." ”

"Who?" Xue Yue pulled out the saber at his waist and blocked it in front of his father.

The person who came took off his hood and smiled lightly: "It's me, General Xue." ”

"Why did the princess come here late at night?" Xue Yue exclaimed.

Xiao Yezi smiled and said, "Sister Xue doesn't need to be surprised. I have always respected the old general, and this time I saw the old general's innocent suffering, so I came to visit. ”

Xue Yang's eyes moved, and he sighed: "There is Princess Lao worried, Xue Yang is bored with himself, and he doesn't dare to claim to be innocent." I can stand with this little injury. Please go back to the princess. ”

Xiao Yezi smiled: "It seems that General Xue thinks that Xiao Yezi is here to make fun of you." Even if Xiao Yezi was given a hundred guts, Xiao Yezi didn't dare to make fun of General Xue. The old general refused to speak out in front of me, just because of my status as a princess. In fact, the old general should have heard that when I was in Lingyan in the past, Xiao Yunxi forcibly insulted me, and I finally got out of the clutches, but he refused to let me go, and imprisoned me again by his side in the name of courting the princess. I faced him every day as if I were in hell, and I only hated that I was not strong enough to kill him. From this point of view, Xiao Yezi and General Xue can also be regarded as comrades-in-arms in the same camp. ”

Xue Yang snorted: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, you don't have to go around the bush." ”

Xiao Yezi smiled: "The old general is quick to talk, so I won't go around in circles." I have come here to show the way for the old general. ”

"What is Minglu?" Xue Yang was stunned.

Xiao Yezi smiled lightly: "Has the general ever considered cooperating with Prince Wanyan?" ”

Xue Yang snorted: "Although Xue Yang is not very talented, he also deeply understands the way of Confucius and Mencius, and knows the truth that loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters, as a minister of Zhaoyin, how can he commit himself to the enemy country?" ”

The old general's words were wrong. I am a Zhaoyin person, how can I not speak for the Zhaoyin people? Don't I want my mother country to be strong and its people to live and work in peace and contentment? Xiao Yezi said earnestly, "Today's Zhaoyin is controlled by people like Empress Dowager Zhen and Xiao Yunxi, and on the grounds of recovering the country, they want to expand their territory all day long, but they really put the people of Zhaoyin in dire straits. If it continues like this for a long time, Zhaoyin will be destroyed by their hands sooner or later. In such a situation, how could the old general sit idly by? ”

This makes sense. Hey, I just hate myself for not being able to do it. Xue Yang sighed.

"Since the old general has this heart, I am willing to take a line from it and seek help for the old general." Xiao Yezi smiled.

Xue Yang refused: "Zhaoyin and Yanjin have been fighting each other for many years, and they are on the same footing...... If Xue Yang joined hands with Yan Jin, wouldn't he be worthy of Zhaoyin's tens of thousands of people? This is not feasible. ”

Xiao Yezi sighed, and persuaded with good words: "The old general has always been loyal and reasonable, why is he so pedantic today?" Could it be that the old general would rather be foolish and loyal to the king, and ignore me and the people of Zhaoyin in the flames of war? The little woman had nothing else to ask for this time, but hoped that loyal and righteous people like the old general could stop fighting and save my people from fire and water first. Prince Wanyan also asked me to tell the old general that in fact, Yan Jin had mastered most of the money and grain in the north, but because of the recent continuous harassment of the Tuotars, Prince Wanyan's military strength was greatly depleted, and iron and gunpowder were scarce, so he continued to invade the south. As long as Zhao Yin is willing to give some assistance to help me Yan Jin resist the Tuotar, Yan Jin is willing to exchange money and food. In this way, Zhaoyin no longer has to worry about money and food, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? And why fight and kill, fight for the borders of nothingness? Yan Jin's only request was to kill Xiao Yunxi and suppress the war-seeking faction. As long as Xiao Yunxi is killed, Yan Jin will retire and form a long-term alliance with Zhaoyin. ”

Xue Yang said: "Since ancient times, Liang will be loyal and patriotic, and Xue Yang is not exempt from vulgarity. The princess doesn't need to say much, please go back. ”

Xiao Yezi sighed: "Since the old general is unwell, the little woman should retire first." It's just that I also ask the old general to think about it again for the sake of the well-being of the people of Zhaoyin. ”

After saying that, Xiao Yezi put on his hood again and disappeared into the night outside the tent.

Xue Yang watched Xiao Yezi leave, and Shicai's solemn face showed a little tiredness and unwillingness.

Xue Yue stepped forward and asked, "Father is worried about the princess's words?" ”

Xue Yang groaned: "What she said just now is indeed a bit interesting. It's just that I can't figure out if she is really a perfect face, or if Xiao Yunxi sent her to test me. ”

Xue Yueyu said: "Yue'er once inquired that before marrying the regent, this regent princess Xiao Yezi was indeed in love with Yang Yizhao, the former departed pavilion master, and the two also had a marriage alliance, not like a person who turned around and passed on to the regent for power." And what the court promised the regent at the beginning was the princess of the court, and it was quite surprising that this marriage suddenly changed into a small leaf. Xiao Yezi has always been coerced and seduced by forces from unknown places, so he committed himself to the regent. And Xiao Yezi did go to the territory of Yanjin a while ago, and he also met with Wanyan Xuan. Being able to retreat from the place where he was completely wiped out has always won his trust. I think Xiao Yezi came to trade with us this time, but he is also seven or eight points credible. ”

Xue Yang snorted: "That being the case...... It's not that her proposal can't be considered. I have always stuck to Cloud City, in order to be this Zhaoyin and safe and healthy. This Xiao Yunxi is stubborn and self-serving, blindly seeking war, and it is unknown whether it is for private or public. Now that we're in trouble with him, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in this cloud city. But with our power in Zhaoyin, we really can't defeat the main battle faction. It's better to abandon this false name and capture the thief and capture the king first, which is the best policy. Yue'er, would you like to advance and retreat with your father? ”

"Father, since you have decided, Yue'er will follow...... It's just Li Li, hey, Yue'er is really embarrassed. Xue Yue sighed.

"Li Li has always been a person who eats soft rather than hard. We don't have to talk to him for the time being, after the matter is completed in the future, you will slowly change it. After all, everything we do is for the well-being of Zhaoyin, and Li Li has always been a reasonable person, so he will understand. Xue Yang said, "In that case, tomorrow you will go to the princess to see if she has a way to contact Wan Yan for us." This is a matter of great importance, and for the sake of my father's health, you may take my letter and go and meet him in person. ”

Xue Yue bowed: "In this way, I will contact the princess tomorrow and discuss with her how to meet Wan Yan." ”

Xue Yang said: "Hey, if you can really get rid of a big trouble, it would be excellent...... If you are tired of your father, go yourself. ”

Xue Yue covered the futon for his father and tidied up the sundries in the room, and then bowed and retired. She walked into the atrium, only to feel the wind behind her, and when she looked back, she saw a dark shadow scurrying behind the tent, apparently someone outside the tent listening to her father and daughter.

Xue Yue stared at the place where the black shadow disappeared, smiled coldly, and said in his heart: Let you go today, and wait for the next day to settle the battle together.
