used to be the heir of the emperor, but now because of Beigong Yu, Xia Xiaoxiao looked a little embarrassed, Beigong Ji didn't want all the dignity he once had called Beigong Yu's second brother, playing the family card, but this trick didn't seem to be of any use to Beigong Yu, Beigong Yu sitting next to him had no ups and downs on his face, and there was no sign of soft-heartedness, as if it was just a stranger begging him for mercy in front of him, not his imperial brother.

Beigong Ji had weeds on his head and body, and he struggled to get out, but the jailer inside stopped him and kicked him hard, and Beigong Ji fell with him, and then it was quieter.

"I ask, you answer."

Beigong Yu waved his hand, and the two jailers stepped forward to drag Beigong Ji out of it and escorted him to Beigong Yu, he finally had a trace of hope on his face, and he didn't resist, he knelt on the ground obediently, and replied again and again, "Okay, second brother, you ask, as long as I know, I must know everything!" ”

"How much do you know about Yun Xi's rebellion?"

Beigong Yu found a comfortable posture and sat on the chair, leaning on the armrest with one hand and dragging his cheeks, not looking like he was interrogating, but like chatting with Beigong Ji.

A trace of struggle flashed in Beigong Ji's eyes, and he shook his head again and again, his dirty hair was like green onion leaves, "I don't know, I didn't know anything from the beginning, Yun Ji is an old fox, how could she tell me?" Even the fact that she is the princess of the previous dynasty I only learned about it after I was arrested, if I had known her identity earlier, I wouldn't have dared to join her even if I had a hundred dares! ”

"Smack!"

Wuxi handed a paper book to Beigong Yu in his hand, and threw a stack of paper books in his hand, the paper was scattered, smashed in front of Beigong Ji, and said coldly, "Then what is this!" ”

The loose paper pages scattered on the ground were quickly soaked by some blood stains on the ground, and one slowly fell to Xia Xiaoxiao's feet, Beigong Ji's eyes fell on the pile of pages on the ground, and a pair of eyes immediately surged with deep horror, "Second brother, the emperor, I was wrong, and the guilty minister knows his mistake!" Your Majesty, the minister knows his mistake! All of this was instructed by Yun Hui! ”

Beigong Yu was not moved at all, and swept the book in his hand lightly, and what Wuxi took over was the joke book of Shanhebu that was searched from outside the palace, and the one in Beigong Yu's hand was the original one that was searched from the Beigong Ji Palace, he glanced at it casually, and said softly, "I came, I didn't listen to you talk nonsense to me." ”

Beigong Ji broke free from the hands of the two jailers and knelt at the feet of Beigong Yu, pointing to those papers and howling, "It's all Yun Cheng, all this is her plan, she asked me to get this thing outside the palace to spread among the people, the minister doesn't know that the person in this thing is actually his father, Yun Ji did this to make Yue Hua mess up the people's hearts, and the minister is guilty!" Guilty of sin! ”

"When my father was alive, he cut off the troops in my hands and turned them into the hands of Beigong Pheasant."

Beigong Yu said lightly, glanced at him, and asked Wuxi to take down the script in his hand, and said softly, "The last question, to be honest, I will spare you from dying." ”

Beigong Yu's voice was an understatement, but the cold glint in his eyes made Beigong Ji's heart tremble, and he immediately lowered his head and bowed his head and said, "Yes!" Be! I must tell the truth this time! ”

Above his head were Beigong Yu's pair of auspicious cloud dragon pattern bright yellow boots, and Beigong Ji no longer dared to have the slightest luck and dare to find excuses.

Bowing his head, a trace of fierceness flashed in Beigong Ji's eyes, he didn't expect that he had regarded Beigong Yu as a thorn in his side for so many years, thinking that he already knew him quite deeply, but he didn't expect that in the end, even Yuncheng Beigong Pheasant was planted in his hands, he couldn't figure out how much Beigong Yu knew, if he dared to talk nonsense at this time, let alone spare him, I am afraid that even death will be restless!

Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, the most important thing is to save your life at the moment, and when Beigong Yu lets him go, he is not afraid that he will not find a chance to take revenge in the days to come!

Beigong Yu leaned back, and his fingertips began to knock on the armrest again, Xia Xiaoxiao stared, looking up, only to see that Beigong Yu's eyes were staring at her at this time, his thin lips opened slightly, and he asked unhurriedly, "What conditions did Beigong Pheasant Li give you, so that he could hand over half of my troops to you willingly?" ”

The sudden question made Xia Xiaoxiao also surprised, and Beigong Yu's eyes fell on Beigong Ji who bowed his head again, Beigong Ji's reaction was different from Xia Xiaoxiao's surprise, but he was stunned.

"Don't answer?"

Beigong Yu twisted his eyebrows, and Beigong Ji heard Beigong Yu's somewhat impatient tone, and he didn't care much, and said honestly, "Beigong Pheasant Li just returned to the palace and begged for a minister, which should be regarded as a transaction." ”

"What?"

Beigong Ji flipped through his memory with some uncertainty, he didn't expect Beigong Yu's last question to be a little too much for him to react to, when Beigong Pheasant entrusted him with things, he didn't pay much attention to it, so he thought about it for a long time, and finally there was a burst of inspiration in his mind, he raised his head and said uncertainly, "Beigong Pheasant left the minister to find someone for him, he said that the purpose of returning to the palace this time was to find that person, and after the minister found him, he would leave the palace and no longer participate in the affairs of the court. I agreed, but then the minister forgot about it, and during the palace banquet, Beigong Pheasant Li reminded again, and the minister only vaguely coped with the past. ”

Xia Xiaoxiao listened quietly on the side, and when Beigong Ji spoke, even her breathing was a little disordered, and then she suddenly remembered that Luozhi had said more than once that she was coming back to do something, and it seemed that this time should be as Beigong Ji said about looking for someone.

"Looking for whom?"

Beigong Yuben lazily leaned back on the chair and sat up in an instant, his tone was a little urgent and nervous, but he also asked the question that Xia Xiaoxiao wanted to ask the most at this time.

"It seems that it is a woman, and the woman who entered the palace did not tell the minister's name and appearance, so she has been dragging this matter and not looking for it."

After the words fell, Beigong Yu slowly leaned back again, twisting his eyebrows tightly, as if he was very dissatisfied with Beigong Ji's answer, Beigong Ji was anxious, "What the minister said is true!" There is no such thing as a fake! Your Majesty, Beigong Pheasant Li is not a good thing like Yun Cheng, he has a close connection with Nanming Kingdom, and he must be in ......"

"That's enough, take it back, and execute it on a later date."

Beigong Yu got up impatiently and walked out slowly, the faint light in the prison made his cheeks more and more cold.

Beigong Ji still wanted to say the words that he didn't have an end to for a while, he fell to the ground, looked at the back of Beigong Yu leaving in a daze, and chose the day to be tortured, and the day to be tortured, Beigong Yu didn't plan to really spare him from the beginning!

The guards stepped forward and dragged Beigong Ji to the prison, and he suddenly laughed like crazy, "Beigong Yu, you said that you would spare me not to die!" Beigong Yu, I'm not afraid to tell you that this Yue Hua's world will be ruined in your hands sooner or later! ”

Beigong Yu didn't even pause, Xia Xiaoxiao glanced back, Beigong Ji was being dragged into the cage and was punched and kicked by the two jailers, staring at Beigong Yu's back with a vicious gaze, with blood and a hideous smile on the corners of his mouth, "Beigong Yu, do you know why my father doesn't want to pass on the throne to you, this world will be ruined by your hands sooner or later!" Don't get complacent too soon! This king is waiting for you under the earth...... Hahaha! ”

Xia Xiaoxiao turned around, Beigong Yu had already walked out of a distance, and there was a sound of punching and kicking behind him, Beigong Ji's scolding and roaring continued, and more was his laughter.

Beigong Yu has ordered him to be executed, what else does he Beigong Ji dare not say? Just hearing the bursts of eerie laughter coming from behind him, Xia Xiaoxiao thought, Beigong Ji was afraid that he was crazy.

Cheng Wang loses, this battle between several of them, if Beigong Yu loses, Beigong Yu's fate may not be much better than him, Beigong Yu is not a fool, let him go, I can't guarantee that there will be any future troubles, Beigong Ji shouldn't really think that Beigong Yu would let him go in the first place.

Out of the dungeon, the sudden bright sight outside made Xia Xiaoxiao a little unaccustomed, Beigong Yu has been silent since he came out, but he walked in the direction of Lingyun Palace.

"You don't joke, the emperor's words are equivalent to a holy decree, since you want him to die, why do you say that you will let him go."

Pingshun and Wuxi walked at the end, Xia Xiaoxiao followed by his side, according to her, everything Beigong Ji said later was the truth.

"You don't have any jokes, you have to use it in the right place." Beigong Yu heard her words, and a pair of inky eyes that were looking at the front squinted, "Isn't Xiao Xia'er a little unhappy in her heart because she heard Beigong Ji mention Beigong Pheasant?" ”

"What he says doesn't mean anything."

What he was looking for was just a woman, but Beigong Yu's words made her feel a little bottomless.

Beigong Yu sneered, and there was a faint anger in his eyes, "You have put your status in his heart quite high." ”

Hearing Beigong Yu's unhappiness, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't answer again, he was annoyed by the matter of today's eighty percent of the things that had stopped, and he didn't need to take advantage of those tongues to make him even more unhappy, Beigong Yu only frowned slightly, and his steps were a little faster.

At the end of the new moon, the unbearable twilight moon and remnant winter in the morning finally opened the days over, and then entered the middle of spring, the snow on the ground melted, the kapok trees in the palace gradually have a tendency to bloom, the tips of the buds are like a happy millet bird, a vigorous rub up, and there are more hibernating birds, beasts and insects are gradually waking up, just at the right time, Wu and the lord of Chaoyang Yan Yanxing Qiao Yishen will come to Yuehua to discuss the Triple Alliance.

It is a gift to welcome the two countries, and for the sake of hospitality, Beigong Yu ordered this banquet to go down and prepare for three days, but it was not publicized.

The war between the Yuehua border and the Yue country is not big, the small friction is perennial, for the thick soil dispute, the Yue country is connected with the Yuehua border, it is the most resource-rich area, the Yue country lord Helian Chi has always been not a small heart of the lord, since the death of the first emperor Yue Hua, it is more and more rampant, this alliance, Wu and Chaoyang came in a low-key manner, and did not let the news spread, resulting in the day before the person arrived, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the busy atmosphere in the palace, only to learn that there were kings of other countries to come suddenly, It was a lot of shock.

The banquet was held on top of the main hall of the Huajiang Palace, Beigong Yu was sitting in the middle of the high position, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and on both sides was the golden dragon Panxiang jade carved pillar of the building, and Beigong Yu's body Ling Ran stood in it like a real dragon, and a faint coercion shrouded the entire Huajiang Palace.

It's a dignified banquet.

Sitting in the seats of hundreds of civil and military officials below, Ye Qiuyu sat on the side of Beigong Yu, in such a stuffy occasion, between words and deeds, dignified and decent everywhere, and could not find a trace of fault, and Shu Changhua only got the rank of a concubine, on such an occasion, it was naturally impossible to get on the stage, so the position was also further back, and a pair of smart eyes stared at Ye Qiuyu on Beigong Yu's side with a little displeasure.

Xia Xiaoxiao and Pingshun stood on both sides of the back of Beigong Yulong's chair on the left and right respectively, she wondered a little, according to Beigong Yu's temperament, even if Ye Qiuyu was not brought on such an occasion, Xia Yingxi must be brought, but at this time, the banquet had begun, and Xia Yingxi was not seen.

Yan Yanxing, the lord of Wu State, and Qiao Yishen, the lord of Chaoyang State, also sat on both sides of the hall below, one on the left and one on the right, and beside them were envoys from various countries.

Yan Yanxing, the lord of Wu, is a middle-aged man in his forties, who looks about a little older than her father Xia Fu, and his demeanor and conversation are indeed the majesty and demeanor of the lord of the country, while Qiao Yishen on the other side has a white and tender face, quite like a weak scholar, but the fierceness in those eyes is not much worse than Beigong Yu.

These people, including Beigong Yu on his side, are all people who sit at the pinnacle, whether it is Yan Yanxing's old age or Qiao Yishen's little white face, they cannot be underestimated.

Yan Yanxing sat on the left hand side of Beigong Yu, drank a glass of wine, and said with a chuckle, "I heard that this Yue Hua has always been better than other countries with fine wine, and the lonely king didn't believe it, but now he is convinced." ”

"Here today, the two lords of the country have worked tirelessly to come to Yuehua as guests, and they have to serve the best wine and hospitality, although this banquet is a little simpler, please don't mind."

Beigong Yu also raised a glass to the two people below, Yan Yanxing and Qiao Yishen raised their glasses at the same time, and the three of them drank all the wine in the cup together, and a chorus of echoes sounded below, making Xia Xiaoxiao's ears numb.

"I have heard that Lord Qiao has always liked to watch folk dances, so I sent someone to find a dance team to see if I can get into the eyes of Lord Qiao?"

After drinking, Beigong Yu clapped his palms and more than ten dancing girls came up, in such a late winter and early spring, all of them were dressed in red, reflecting every little face like a spring breeze.

"Then thank you Emperor Yue Hua."

Qiao Yi chuckled, and everyone gradually moved their eyes into the dance floor, the melodious sound of silk and bamboo rose, and more than ten dancing girls also looked small on the dance floor.

Not only Xia Xiaoxiao, but even many people below gradually lost interest, but they didn't dare to show it, only Qiao Yishen, he was a guest here, not to mention that he was indeed more appreciative in this area, but after a while, his face was not very good-looking.

Beigong Yu said that he deliberately went to the folk to find the good dance Yanzi, but now in his opinion, he can dance like this by finding a few women at will, naturally, he didn't know that there was a woman like Xia Xiaoxiao who couldn't dance.

Just when Xia Xiaoxiao also felt that Beigong Yu was fooling people, suddenly, a burst of rapid music sounded, and more than ten women in red stepped on the small lotus steps like Zhongji, from the middle curved waist into a tight small circle, the head against the head, the flying bun of the dancing girls in the center just reached a very small and round flower-like appearance, and there was a fluctuation of musical strings, the flow of the flow overflowed, the sleeves and skirts waved lightly, and the women in red who were bent were arched back together, and their waists were soft. It seems that a bright red flower blooms from a very small bud in a sudden time into the most mature flower of the flower season, and at the moment when the women in red fall back, the huge red flower also rises in a snow-white figure, the gorgeous red is full of charm, this sudden appearance of a touch of white is incompatible with it, but it is extremely eye-catching, the posture slowly rises from the half-squat, as if there is only a cluster of white stamens in the red flower, which is inconsistent but commensurate.

Everyone's eyes were all attracted at the moment when the woman in white suddenly appeared, Xia Xiaoxiao was also fiercely amazed, Qiao Yishen's eyes flashed with a touch of extreme interest, only Beigong Yu, with a faint smile on his face.

And the sudden change of the gaze of everyone here did not make the woman who suddenly appeared on the dance floor any change, the music was clear in the ears, the white yarn in the hand danced for a long time, and a long white lotus blooming long road was laid under the feet, the toes stepped on it, the slender feet were light, and they jumped up in the air like an immortal who entered the mortal world, and the posture was lying flat, the white coat hung lightly, and he wanted to fall to the ground in an instant, and the two ends of the white yarn in his hand were struck on the ground, and the posture was stable and elegant to re-stand in the center of the hall, and the fingertips were loosened, and the white yarn hung down. The orchid finger slid leisurely in front of the body, and the light white long sleeves that did not stick to a trace of turbidity were raised in the wind around the body, and the melodious music for a moment suddenly resounded in the hall, and the red-clothed women of the remaining ten people slowly turned into a big circle, surrounding the woman in it, the woman in white took one foot as the axis, lightly rose, danced with long sleeves, and the delicate body slowly rotated, with the music turning faster and faster, the toes seemed to give birth to lotus, the fingertips seemed to give birth to butterflies, and the skirt danced lightly, suddenly, the woman suddenly stopped the rotating posture, and touched the ground with half a knee, The back of the right hand is up and down the left hand, the long sleeves are hanging down, and the music slowly ends.

Everyone almost held their breath to enjoy this dance of the alluring city, so that several people lost their minds after the dance, and they all lost their minds and did not react, and a pair of eyes with a little burning salivation looked at the woman who was half-kneeling in the hall, and finally the woman stopped, but the long sleeves hanging down in her hand just blocked the face that made everyone extremely curious at this time, but the eyes with spring water and clear waves looking forward to Beigong Yu above were enough to make people start infinite reverie.

After a while, everyone came back to their senses from the amazement, and the hall suddenly burst into applause, and the sound of surprise was not in the ears.

And when the woman stopped on the dance floor, Xia Xiaoxiao recognized that the person was Xia Yingxi. No wonder she didn't see Xia Yingxi from the beginning, it turned out that she was used by Beigong Yu to dance.

It's just that at the end of the dance, Xia Xiaoxiao always felt that she seemed to have seen this dance somewhere, not the familiarity she saw in the imperial garden last time, but the fact that she seemed to have seen it outside the palace.

"I don't know, this song can satisfy the two lords?"

Beigong Yu turned his head lightly, his gaze fell on Qiao Yishen, and he chuckled.

"It's rare and rare, this dance starts with a bland and boring beginning, which makes people minimize expectations, but before people are completely bored, it gives people an amazing taste with high dance skills in the middle, and at the end of the dance is stopped and broken at the end, which makes people unsatisfied, but it is a good dance!"

Qiao Yishen couldn't help but admire, his eyes still stopped on Xia Yingxi's body on the dance floor, as if he was extremely curious about the face under his face, and his slightly delicate long eyebrows were slightly twisted.

Xia Yingxi listened, then smiled lightly, and slowly accepted the gesture at the end, everyone present was stunned, only to see the woman exposed under the cover of the long sleeves lightly swept the moth eyebrows, her skin was like condensed fat, her lips were red without dots, and her eyes were smiling smartly, and she was so flawless in white clothes, she was so flawless, she was like this, not like a mortal.

"Xi'er, still don't thank you?"

Beigong Yu seemed to be in a very good mood, Xia Yingxi stood up and saluted Qiao Yishen and said softly, "Thank you Lord Qiao for your praise, the concubines see the Lord of the Two Kingdoms!" ”

Every move, every smile and smile made people unable to take their eyes off, Qiao Yishen was stunned when he heard it at this time, "This is actually the lady in the palace?" ”

"Xi'er is the concubine of my harem, and when she learned that the two of them came to Yue Hua, this dance wasted a lot of her thoughts."

Xia Yingxi stepped forward slowly, sitting on the empty chair on the left side of Beigong Yu, with a shallow smile on her face, "If you can share the emperor's worries, everything the concubine should do." ”

Beigong Yu and Xia Yingxi had a drama of deep love for the imperial concubine in front of everyone, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't have the heart to look at the conversation with affection in the eyes of the two of them, and his eyes fell below, at this time, there were no people staring at Xia Yingxi, Xia Yingxi's appearance was Xia Xiaoxiao's own heart, not to mention these men, including the old guy who was almost forty or fifty years old in Yan Yanxing below, looking at Xia Yingxi's eyes, there were also a few traces of squinting in it, and on the other hand, Qiao Yishen on the other side, from beginning to end, Xia Xiaoxiao only saw appreciation in his eyes, including when Xia Yingxi showed a face that would make any man feel moved by this, and saluted him with a smile, there was no other superfluous thing in this man's eyes.

It seems to be the same as he seems on the surface, a weak scholar, and naturally only art in his eyes.

This kind of person, I'm afraid it is also appreciated by Beigong Yu, but it's a pity that over the years, the trend of several countries has not been cared about on the surface, and there is a little clear secretly, Wu Guo has always been a good party with Yue Hua, and Chaoyang Country is indeed a lot of involvement with Nanming Kingdom, this involvement, just like the marriage between Yue Hua and Jin State today, Chaoyang Kingdom is married to Nanming Kingdom in the morning.
