Time passed minute by minute, and Lan Xin felt that the wait at this moment was too long, as if a century had passed.

Finally, the guard came back and brought a father-in-law, Lan Xin's heart instantly lifted, and the guard pointed at Lan Xin and said, "It's her." ”

The father-in-law looked Lan Xin up and down and said, "You come with me." ”

Lan Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, gave the guard a grateful look, and hurried in with the father-in-law.

Yuan Li was wearing civilian clothes at this time, and was sitting in front of the dragon case, correcting the folds, after the father-in-law brought Lan Xin in, he retreated without saying anything, and now there are only the two of them left in the whole room, Lan Xin first saluted, but Yuan Li seemed to have been immersed in his work and didn't say a word.

Lan Xin could only wait anxiously on the side, and I don't know how long it took, the candle wick in front of Yuan Li began to flicker, shaking people's eyes very uncomfortable, Lan Xin saw the scissors on the side, picked them up directly, and began to trim the wick, after trimming, he retreated to the side and waited quietly.

Finally, Yuan Li put down the pen in his hand, and then looked at Lan Xin, and after seeing his face, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "I have seen you, you are the woman who made the King of Beijing dare to exchange the fate of the entire southern kingdom." ”

Hearing such words for the first time, somewhere in Lan Xin's heart, he suddenly felt a pain, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Lan Xin has seen the emperor." Lan Xin made a regular salute.

"If you follow King Beijing, you shouldn't know that now is the time when the two countries are at war, and you, a southerner, are you so blatantly entering the palace of my Qi Kingdom, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" A cold light suddenly shot out of Yuan Li's eyes, which was a deterrent power that only a true Son of Heaven could exude.

Lan Xin suddenly felt a burst of oppression.

"If the emperor really wants to kill me, he won't let me come." Lan Xin said confidently.

"A woman worthy of the King of Beijing, she has a bit of courage." Yuan Li said.

"Say, what are you doing with me? If it is on behalf of the King of Beijing, and he also lobbied my Qi State to withdraw from the army, then dispel this idea as soon as possible. Yuan Li said directly.

Lan Xin didn't reply in a hurry, but took out a letter, walked up and handed it to Yuan Li: "After the emperor reads this letter, he will naturally understand what happened. ”

Yuan Li took the letter suspiciously, and there were four words written on the envelope - opened by the emperor himself

Yuan Li was very familiar with this font, it was Yuan Yue's, so he opened it and looked at it, at first he still looked disapproving, but gradually, cracks appeared on his face, and the indifferent look finally couldn't hold back, and after reading the last word, it finally broke out.

He slapped the letter on the table, his chest rose and fell violently, and he only felt that his body shook for a while, as if he was going to faint in the next second, but after all, he was the emperor of a country, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, and exhaled deeply, but his tone became colder.

"Do you know what happens when you cheat on me?" Yuan Li's words were full of threat.

Lan Xin met his gaze without fear, and said with a calm face: "If the emperor thinks that what is said here is false, he will not be so angry, I am just a messenger, is the content of this true or false?" I think with the emperor's wisdom, he should be able to judge it. ”

"Even if what is said above is true, now, I don't have any loss, I can exchange you for Yuan Xiu, I think, King Beijing should be very happy." Yuan Li quickly found the most beneficial way for him from the anger just now.

Lan Xin chuckled in his heart, this method should be the least loss for Yuan Li, looking at his expression, it didn't seem like a joke, Lan Xin had a bad premonition, originally thought that the news he brought would be a very beneficial opportunity for the south country, but he didn't expect that things would suddenly turn out like this.

Lan Xin's brain is spinning rapidly, he must not let this good hand rot in his hands, when he is desperate, he is determined, he must take the best result back, absolutely not according to Yuan Li said, absolutely not!

"Things are changing, today's lover will also become tomorrow's stranger, if the emperor thinks that I still have that value, I can use me to exchange for the four princes." Lan Xin tried to calm his heart, and now it is not better than the cards in his hand, but more stable than whose mentality, so at this time, Lan Xin must not show the slightest timidity.

"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Li obviously didn't expect Lan Xin to say such a thing, seeing that he was not surprised, he secretly praised in his heart, such a dazzling woman, no wonder King Beijing was so fond of it in the first place.

Very good, Yuan Li has been successfully led to his own train of thought by Lan Xin: "What do I mean, can't the emperor guess?" If I am still so important to King Beijing now, how can he be such a smart person and let me come to this Qi Kingdom Palace alone? ”

Lan Xin's words made Yuan Li have to pay attention to it, indeed, as Lan Xin said, if it was at the beginning, Mo Yan would not allow his woman to come alone like this, this is tantamount to giving himself a piece of fat in his mouth for nothing, Mo Yan would never do such a thing.

"Since it doesn't matter if you are with King Beijing now, how can you guarantee that Yuan Xiu will come back as agreed?" At this moment, this is what Yuan Li is most worried about.

"With a four-prince in exchange for decades of peace between the two countries, I think, even if I don't matter anymore, King Beijing will not turn a blind eye to this deal." Lan Xin said with burning eyes.

Yuan Li pondered for a moment, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "A woman like you is really rare, if you are willing to stay in my Qi country, I can give you the highest treatment." ”

Lan Xin also smiled lightly: "It is my supreme honor that the emperor looks up to me, but the country of Qi is full of talents, and there is never a shortage of capable people, so I won't eat and drink here." ”

Lan Xin used the words "eating and drinking" to reject Yuan Li's invitation very cleverly, which made Yuan Li feel that Lan Xin was not simple.

"In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation." Yuan Li said.

In the southern border barracks, Yuan Xiu kept clamoring in the building that he wanted to see Yixin, and said that only when he saw him, he would tell them everything he knew.

Ye Han was very embarrassed and told Mo Yan about this: "You said that this person is also strange, whoever sees Yixin's appearance, he can't help but be afraid, but he just wants to find him, I really can't understand, what's so special about that Yixin?" ”

"Haven't you found anyone else?" Mo Yan asked. He didn't know what the relationship between Yuan Xiu and Yixin was, but now he could be sure that Yixin was missing, and the only one who knew the truth about Yixin's disappearance was Xie Zifeng, but Xie Zifeng refused to say anything.

Ye Han shook his head: "It's as if he disappeared out of thin air, I've already sent out a lot of people, but nothing has happened." ”

Mo Yan's eyes tightened, and then said: "Let Wu regret follow Xie Zifeng, no matter who he comes into contact with, come back and tell me immediately." ”

Ye Han nodded, and Mo Yan continued: "Go to the cell." ”

Yuan Xiu has been in deep thought for the past two days, and Lan Xin left those thought-provoking words at that time, which made Yuan Xiu's heart unable to calm down for a long time.

Listening to the footsteps, Yuan Xiu knew that someone was coming again, so he walked directly to the corner of the cell and sat down facing the corner.

"You don't have to come here like this, if you want to use torture, just do it, but I won't say anything, so don't plan to use force to make me submit." Yuan Xiu said categorically.

Mo Yan glanced at Yuan Xiu in the cell, and then said, "That person with a blood-stained face has come to see you. ”

This sentence is not a question, it is said very certainly, Yuan Xiu heard this voice, and slowly turned around: "King Beijing, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Since King Beijing knows, let him come to see me, and when he comes, I will naturally tell you what you want to know." Yuan Xiu said.

"Tell me what you're talking about, and I'll get him to see you right away." Moyan Road.

Yuan Xiu suddenly became vigilant, and looked at Mo Yan with scrutinizing eyes: "That person is your subordinate, what did we say, will he not tell you?" ”

"The two of you are talking about Yuan Yue." Mo Yan ignored his words, as if he was stating something to himself.

"You were bewitched to believe that Yuan Yue was captured by my southerners." Mo Yan's tone of voice was very calm, but he seemed to be there at the time, and what he said surprised Yuan Xiu.

"How do you know!" Yuan Xiu subconsciously said this sentence, and only then did he remember to take it back, but it was too late.

"After all this time, you should have figured it out, who is the person who bewitched you?" Mo Yan penetrated into his heart step by step, leaving Yuan Xiu with nowhere to dodge at all.

This seemed to have a mind-reading look, which made Yuan Xiu's heart a little abrupt, and he didn't even dare to look at his eyes, for fear that he would see something again.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Yuan Xiu's eyes were a little evasive, in fact, he had already thought it out in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it.

"I'm sure we'll know the answer soon." Mo Yan didn't answer his words at all, he finished talking to himself, and then, regardless of Yuan Xiu's reaction, he turned around and left.

Ye Han was confused by the second monk from beginning to end, and he didn't understand what the two of them were talking about at all, so he followed and followed without saying a word.

When the two walked out of the cell, Mo Yan said: "From now on, send two squads to take turns to stand guard and guard the cell, and if it is not me, no one is allowed to approach the cell!" ”

Ye Han looked puzzled, what is this for?

On the border of Qi State, Yuan Hua didn't expect that they would lose so much in this trip, Yuan Xiu was also captured by the southerners, and after returning to the barracks, most of the soldiers became sick, but in two days, they had been tortured without any fighting spirit.

Yuan Hua was only angry at the moment: "It's been so long, and no cure has been developed!" Are all those military doctors dry food! ”
