Xiao Yezi sighed: "Then our Heavenly King Gang fights against Yan Jin, it should be regarded as the main battle faction, right?" ”

Chai Song said: "The first emperor has been vigorously supporting the Xiao Gang and the Tianwang Gang, and he is determined to recover the lost country of my Zhaoyin, and he has worked hard and conscientiously, which can be called a generation of Ming Jun." Although our Heavenly King Gang has always followed the main battle faction, it depends on the favor of the first emperor, and the strength of our Heavenly King Gang has gradually grown in this dynasty. In addition, the Xiao gang leader operates properly in the DPRK and China, except for the fight against Yan Jin and the main battle faction, the rest are not very close, and they can be regarded as a party of their own in recent years. Thanks to the fact that the Xiao Gang Leader does not participate in the party struggle, the Tianwang Gang is relatively independent and self-contained. ”

Xiao Yezi nodded: "Understood." But this time the emperor's assassination, does it have any impact on our Heavenly Kings Gang? ”

Chai Song said: "The Tianwang Gang has not been on the side for a long time, and it has its own forces, so it has always been an important reference for the main battle master and the two factions to fight. The first emperor was bent on resisting Yan at the time, suppressing the development of the main battle and the main peace faction, and sent the relatives of the Li clan to the outside of the capital, while the main war faction Zhen stayed in the inner court to control the dynasty, each with its own constraints, so that the Tianwang Gang did not have to choose between the main battle or the main peace faction immediately. But now that the emperor has died, this political balance has been upset. Now the crown prince Li Shen is not yet five years old and cannot independently control the dynasty. But the Zhen family used this as a coercion to close the Lanjing City, intending to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and also to marry Princess Hongjia left by the former queen to Zhen's nephews. The Li side branch is unwilling to give up, and will definitely wave the army to force the palace, saying that the Zhen family is in trouble with the country and the government. ”

Cheng Che also echoed: "Yes, if the emperor is alive, it will be okay to help the master return to Lanjing City for pilgrimage." Now that the emperor has died suddenly, I am afraid that the city of Lanjing is already turbulent and unpredictable, so I still can't go back easily to prevent accidents. ”

Xue Yue shook his head: "But if you don't go back for a long time, you will be suspected of supporting the army and self-respecting, and it will not be good for the gang leader." She looked at Xue Yang: "I don't know what my father thinks?" ”

Xue Yang said: "The more the inner court is inclined to the main peace faction, the more unwilling the main battle faction will be to lead the way. In my opinion, the main peace faction holds the prince hostage, and the main battle faction holds real power, and one of the two tigers will be injured when they fight. We are shouldering the heavy responsibility of resisting Yan, so we naturally hope that the main battle faction can gain the upper hand. However, if it is not handled well, it will cause internal turmoil between the main war faction and the main peace faction, and I am afraid that it will backfire. ”

"Then what should I do, the Zhen family has the heart to fight with the Li family and controls Lanjing City. Not to be outdone, the Li family led the troops to Qin Wang, and heard that the pro-army battalion was pressed outside Lanjing City. This is imminent, but how can it be good? "God came in a hurry at night.

Chai Song smiled: "The meeting is also an opportunity for a game, isn't it?" Don't you know that the snipe and the clam compete with each other, and the fisherman profits. ”

Yun Huan glanced at Chai Song, and his eyes moved: "The more this time, the more calm you must be." The inner court controls the court, and the foreign relatives control the military power, and the Heavenly King Gang, which does not rely on the inner court and other forces, has the opportunity to get a piece of the pie. Now that the emperor has passed away and the new monarch is young, as long as the Xiao gang leader is willing to take a step forward, he will be able to sit left and right and sit in a high position by himself. ”

Xue Yang nodded when he heard this: "Yes, if the crisis is reversed properly, it is also our opportunity." Lord Neiting Cao also took a fancy to this, so he secretly proposed to ask the helper to return to Beijing to be regent. The Li family and the Zhen family are incompatible with each other, so we need to coordinate from it even more. ”

"Brother Helper, what are you waiting for? Even Lord Cao, the main battle faction, supports you to return to Beijing as regent. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be regent. As long as you become the regent, you don't have to worry about those little ones doing things behind your back. "God came to see Yunxi at night and didn't speak, and his heart was anxious.

Yun Xi lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "I am deeply favored by the promotion of the first emperor, and people who bring disaster to the country and chaos cannot do it." However, as Xue Tianwang said, the military power in the hands of the main battle faction cannot be released, and the new monarch held hostage by the main and faction must also be supported, so as to maintain the balance of the political situation in Zhaoyin. Only in this way can we resist Yan with peace of mind and regain the lost ground. He had already made up his mind, and immediately ordered, "Xue Tianwang, you still lead a large army to garrison Yunzhong City, Cheng Che, you bring Shen Yelai, Tang Ying, Qiu Yishui and others to garrison Yandang City." I took Chai Song and Li Li back to Lanjing City to congratulate Xinjun. The war has not yet ended, and the alliance between Tuotar and Zhaoyin should not be affected in any way. Mr. Yun, please also replace my brother to go to Beijing with me to meet the new monarch, and I will ask the new monarch to crown you and your brother with the title of prince, renew the letter of alliance, and strengthen the alliance between Zhaoyin and Tuotar. As for Yue'er......" He waved his hand and whispered a few words in Xue Yue's ear. After Xue Yue heard this, he immediately arched his hand, and was simply decisive: "Yue'er takes the order." ”

"Without further ado, let's leave tomorrow morning." Yun Xi bowed his head and dismissed everyone.

Xiao Yezi saw that everyone was leaving, but he stood still in place.

Yun Xi sighed with a sigh, raised his head, and suddenly found that Xiao Yezi had not left, and said softly: "After a busy day, you are also tired, go and rest." ”

"You're more tired than me, helper." Xiao Yezi picked up a teapot from the shelf, boiled hot water, made a pot of fragrant tea, and sent it to Yunxi, and said with a smile, "This is the soothing tea I bought from the city a few days ago, and I heard that you can sleep soundly when you drink it." I've tried it a few times, and it works, so I'm here. Unexpectedly, before you have time to persuade the helper to drink, you will have to return to Beijing. ”

Yunxi saw her gentle words and comfort, and her heart was also relieved: "It's good if you have a heart." ”

Xiao Yezi poured tea for him, watched Yunxi drink it, and said, "Helper, you must be very dangerous when you enter Beijing this time." Don't know what I can do? You arrange. No matter how dangerous it is, as long as it can benefit you, my little leaf will never refuse. ”

Yun Xi smiled: "Did you say this for me, or for Yang Yizhao?" ”

Xiao Yezi blushed and said angrily: "The helper is Yang Yizhao's helper, and he is also Xiao Yezi's helper. No matter what Xiao Yezi and Yang Yizhao do, aren't they all doing it for the sake of helping the master? ”

Yunxi smiled slightly: "...... I can't even refute that. Although he was sad in his heart, he did not show a smile on his face, and only smiled: "No need." I heard that Yang Yizhao did a very good job in southern Xinjiang, and he really lived up to my expectations, and made a contribution to the Tianwang Gang. Yang Yizhao is a talent, but unfortunately the ambition is not here, and I can't force it. Tonight, I will send a letter to Yang Yizhao, and he will entrust all the undertakings in southern Xinjiang to Ling Xuan, and then I can go back to Zhongyuan to pick you up. He paused, took out a letter from the box behind him, and handed it to Xiao Yezi, "I entered Beijing this time, I don't know when I will return, this is a letter of dismissal to you." From now on, you will no longer be a messenger of the lamp, but a free little girl. ”

Xiao Yezi took this letter, and she didn't know how to feel in her heart, saying that it was false to say that she was not happy, but when she saw Yunxi's bleak back, she couldn't be happy again, and after a long time, she said, "Thank you." ”

Yunxi turned around, paused, and said in a deep voice, "Don't thank me, I have done a lot of things to hurt you before, although ...... Although it was not my intention, yesterday cannot be traced, and no matter how much I do, it will be difficult for me to atone for my sins. Now...... Seeing that you are happy, I am also ...... Very happy. ”

Xiao Yezi shook his head, raised his eyes and looked into his eyes: "The matter of fate cannot be forced." But I've never hated you. Let alone...... What's more, we've been through so much together, and I've long regarded you as a friend. As long as you ...... Don't think we're lowly and unworthy of your regent as a regent. Wait until...... When Yang Yizhao and I settle down there, I will definitely write to you and ask you to be a guest. You can't just because you're a regent and don't come. ”

Yunxi gently touched her hair and said softly, "How come?" I'll definitely go when the time comes. ”

Xiao Yezi smiled sweetly: "...... Then, I don't need to call you the helper in the future, it's time to call you Yunxi. ”

Yun Xi smiled and nodded: "It's okay to call anything." He looked outside the house, and saw that the moonlight in the sky was excellent, and suddenly whispered: "When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky." I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable. Dance to figure out how the shadow seems to be in the world. Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly. There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”

Xiao Yezi saw that he was sad, and his heart was also extremely sad, and he couldn't help but moisten his eyes.

Suddenly, Yun Xi smiled and said, "Little Yezi, are you willing to dance for me?" ”

Xiao Yezi hurriedly said: "Yes, willingly." What dance would you like to see? You said. ”

Yunxi smiled: "I don't know, I can watch what you want to dance." ”

Xiao Yezi thought for a while and said with a smile: "The moonlight is like water tonight, just like the allusion of Emperor Tang Ming's night tour of the Moon Palace, why don't you dance the neon dress and feather dance, okay?" It's a pity that I am in a hurry today, and I don't have such a glamorous dance costume, so I have to ask you to watch it. ”

Yun Xi smiled: "Okay." ”

Xiao Yezi thought about his injury, afraid that he would be tired for a long time, so he dragged a sleeping chair for him, placed him in the chair and half-reclined, and then bent his knees and smiled: "Please sit down, the slave is going to perform." ”

As soon as the corners of Yunxi's mouth were pulled, Xiao Yezi made music with his mouth and danced.

A graceful woman, dressed in white yarn, sliding her dance steps in the moonlight, soft as cotton wool, and flowers growing step by step. I saw her like ink-dyed green silk spread out under the moon, making her charming complexion more and more pure, like Chang'e descending to earth, beautiful and solemn. Sometimes light cloud sleeves, sometimes flowers look sideways, sometimes raise wrists and lower eyebrows, sometimes waist and raise head, between every move, graceful and luxurious like a fairy concubine, but also light and light elf like a swallow nest. Luo Yi gently slid from her wrist to her elbow with her movements, revealing a white and delicate wrist, connected with a few slender fingers like shallots, shyly caged on the side of her cheeks, covering her already blushing face. A breeze blew slowly, blowing the sleeves of her robe, making her whole person as if the clouds were about to fly away, in this soft wind and mist, her pair of watery eyes like smoke and water slowly revealed from behind the sleeves of the robe, jade and ice, but charming, want to talk and rest.

Yunxi looked at her intoxicated, and finally seemed to be depressed from the injury, her eyelids gradually deepened, and she fell asleep after a while. In his drowsiness, the back of his hand was slightly hot, as if someone had gently shaken his hand.

"Take care."

She covered him and turned away.

He slowly opened his eyes, and saw that in the empty courtyard, there was still a remnant of her dancing. He raised the back of his hand in a daze, but finally couldn't help it, put the back of his hand under his lips, and kissed deeply on the back of his hand just now.

"Take care."

——————————————

Yun Xi took Chai Song, Li Li and Yun Huan to Lanjing City non-stop.

As soon as he entered the city, Yunxi noticed something strange in the city. In the past, when he came to Lanjing City, the neighborhood was bustling, but now the family is closed, and everything seems to be immersed in tension. Piles of dark gray clouds pressed low on the rows of houses in the city, making this otherwise prosperous city once again shrouded in a layer of gloom.

At this time, it was already evening, and it was inconvenient to bring people into the palace. Yun Xi and the others rode their horses to a laughing inn in the city, stopped, and saw that the door of the inn was also closed, so they reached out and knocked on the wooden door: "Uncle Ding, open the door." ”

The shopkeeper was woken up from his sleep, and was irritable, and when he opened the door and saw Yunxi, he changed his face: "...... This...... Isn't this the Xiao Gang Master? Come in, come in. ”

Yunxi smiled slightly: "Uncle Ding, sweep two guest rooms for me." ”

Uncle Ding dared to be verbose any longer, and was busy tidying up two large guest rooms and waiting for a few people to stay. Yunxi saw Uncle Ding's sad face, and couldn't help asking: "How many days has Lanjing City not opened a night market?" ”

Uncle Ding sighed: "The emperor died, and the whole country mourned. He lowered his voice and whispered beside Yun Xi, "I heard that our emperor was assassinated, and Uncle Zhen is chasing assassins with the Praetorian Guards, where is anyone who dares to come out at this time." Gang Leader Xiao should also be cautious and careful in everything. ”

Yun Xi bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your advice." He took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Uncle Ding, "This is the letter that Ding Xiang Ding entrusted me to Uncle Ding." ”

Uncle Ding accepted the letter with a happy face, and nodded his head in thanks. Yun Xi turned around and introduced to everyone: "This is the father of Ding Fang, the master of the Wind Flame Hall in Cloud City, and Ding Xiang, the master of the Crane Hall, you can call him Uncle Ding." Yunhuan Li Chai Song heard that it was a colleague elder, and he was busy with the ceremony.

After the placement was completed, Yunxi took Chai Song and Li Li all the way into the palace for funeral. Yun Huan stayed in the inn.

Uncle Ding thought of Yunxi's face, and respected Yun Huan very much, afraid that Yun Huan would be hungry on the way, so he came to the kitchen to make some night snacks for Yun Huan to satisfy his hunger. Yun Huan went to the kitchen to help and chatted with Uncle Ding. Uncle Ding heard that he was a member of the Tuotar royal family, so he hurriedly stopped him from working. Yun Huan smiled faintly: "I've been used to doing these rough jobs since I was a child, Uncle Ding doesn't have to care." He relied on his youth and strength, so he helped Uncle Ding chop wood and cook for the fire.
