Chapter 4 Borrowing Hands

When she slept late at night, Meng Yining asked people to open the window and look at the sparse dead leaves hanging alone on the branches.

She reached out and played with her hair, thinking only of the four words that woe is not a single line.

It's almost the end of the year, but there are so many incidents.

However, if the silence is as usual, it is not likely.

Five days ago, the flying pigeon came to report that Gu Zi'an's father died of illness.

In his father's hands, the country experienced rise and fall, and there were countless sages and clear courts.

Later, it was defeated by the four countries, lost most of the city, and lost the prosperity of the past. And Meng Yining also came to Daxia with Gu Zi'an at that time and began the days of imprisonment.

Count it, and it's been eight years.

Meng Yining has blurred the appearance of Beiyang, blurred the solemn palace, red walls and green tiles.

I remember that when I encountered the night in Beiyang, it was as cold as water, and Meng Yining often had nightmares, dreaming that the cold sword passed through his body, and the blood that could not be covered gushed out.

She was very frightened, and walked on the bluestone road in thin clothes.

And Gu Zi'an's mother, of course, is also the sister of Meng Yining's mother, and she will always come at the right time to comfort her who is trembling.

Falling into a comforting and warm embrace, Meng Yining was able to fall asleep again.

Meng Yining rarely saw Gu Zi'an's father, the legendary king who was once magnificent and strategic.

Hearing of his sudden death, Meng Yining was also a little sad.

But with that comes contemplation.

The first king died of illness, and the son succeeded to the throne, which is the norm of heaven and earth.

However, not everyone wants Gu Zi'an to live.

Besides, Gu Zi'an is a son who is not favored at all. At that time, Shiguo asked to take the prince as a hostage and go to Great Xia, so Gu Zi'an's father was in a hurry to give him the title of "Shizi", a prince who did not grow up in the palace due to the sudden estrangement between his parents.

Now, no one wants him to go back safely.

"Awake?" Gu Zi'an's voice came from outside the door.

Meng Yining snorted lightly.

Gu Zi'an walked into the room and lit the lamp.

Meng Yining looked at his tall silhouette, and the cool breeze blew towards her from the window, mixed with the smell of fallen leaves and Gu Zi'an's body.

"Can't sleep?"

"Hmm."

He closed the window and sat on the chair next to Meng Yining, looking at her confused and tired eyes and sweaty and wet hair.

"We were careless, and we can't afford to wait any longer." Meng Yining voiced her concerns.

Gu Zi'an touched Meng Yining's forehead and wiped her sweat, "You are weak now, don't think about this." ”

Meng Yining shook his head and looked at him: "What do you say?" ”

Gu Zi paused and whispered, "We can use the elimination method." Suppose, except for you and me, we are all enemies. ”

For some reason, Meng Yining's sunny smile suddenly flashed in his mind, but suddenly disappeared again.

She nodded.

Gu Zi'an continued: "Since you and I are not strong now, it is better to borrow the hand of King Xia to find out who did it." ”

"Then you have to involve King Xia in it." Meng Yining thought.

"Yes." Gu Zi'an said while helping Meng Yining cover the quilt, "I assume that Yan Rong did this thing." If it were him, everything would be fine. If not, you can also confuse the real culprit and let them have the next move, so that we can also prepare. ”

Gu Zi'an looked at Meng Yining's thoughtful appearance, and pretended to be careless and said, "I have already arranged this matter, don't bother with it." ”

Meng Yining listened to Gu Zi'an's words, and there was a feeling of light and light.

She has been with Gu Zi'an for a long time, and she can hear the meaning.

Without removing the clean toxins, Meng Yining, who had been bothered to think, was dazed, and his vision blurred again.

Gu Zi'an buried his head in the quilt, Meng Yining, pulled it out again, a little embarrassed: "Wait until you sleep, now you have to watch something." After you were poisoned, Jing Chi immediately called the imperial doctor, and after the imperial doctor diagnosed that you were fine, I went back to the house and wrote a letter, pretending to be a letter from Yan Rong's life. Yan Rong's text, do you remember? ”

Meng Yining's face was a little cold when she heard the word "Yan Rong", but she still stretched out her hand and took the letter from Gu Zi'an's warm hand.

She took a closer look, Yan Rong's font was slender and long, and when her father taught her, she always felt like silk dancing in the flames.

Looking at the familiar words, I suddenly thought that outside my house was Shilijin Street, and there was a small blue river that meandered.

The night is bustling, with lanterns and candles, lively and lively, and prosperous all night long.

Even in the cold of winter, the smell of roast chicken and rice wine wafts through the streets.

She often begged her eldest sister to take her to the restaurant to eat a handful of salt-roasted milk taro, and secretly drank two sips of pine nut yellow ginseng rice wine.

"Sister, when you grow up."

"Let's go to Jinjie to watch the fireworks."

"When will I be like Daddy?"

……

Meng Yining's head hurt a little, she knew that she was hallucinating.

"Yi Ning?" Gu Zi'an looked at her for a long time and didn't speak, her eyes were relaxed, for fear that she would be tired again.

"Huh?" In a trance, she shook her head and came to her senses. "That's right, that's how it was written."

Gu Zi'an nodded and took back the letter.

The content of the letter is simple,

The matter has been done, and I will go north in a few days to tell it.

In a word, it involves the Three Kingdoms.

Yan Rong colluded with Beiyang, as for Great Xia, Yu Beiyang or Yan Rong, no one knew that they were also friends and enemies.

Today, the world has been divided for more than 200 years, and there are five great powers: Beiyang in the north, Yanrong in the west, Shangze in the south, Daxia in the middle, and Ning Chun in the east.

However, there are also four small countries that maintain a century-old equilibrium, namely: Wei, Sichuan, Qiyang, and Ju.

The nine countries are in check and counter to each other, constantly engaging in friction and annexation. The people of our city in the past will become those of another country tomorrow.

However, it has only been more than seven years since the end of the last war, and I can't hold back thinking about it, and I am ready to move.

When Beiyang was overwhelmed and attacked the adjacent Sichuan, Yan Rong, Wei State, Daxia and Chunning took the opportunity to jointly attack the north, as a result, Beiyang lost fifteen cities at once, with countless casualties and great injuries.

However, there are many conflicts in the four countries, at least in Meng's view.

His father was a fierce general of Yan Rong back then, fighting in the south and the north, and had been on the battlefield for a long time.

Meng Yining wisped his thoughts and sighed, full of thoughts.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside the window, crashing against the window and rumbling, I was afraid that it was going to snow.
