Chapter 156: The Night Banquet (I)

The princess of Beiyang Heqin has not yet been elected, and the general of Daxia Gai Xiaoyong, who escorted Gu Zi'an back to China, received an order from King Xia to lead 8,000 men and horses to return to China first.

The sun suddenly became empty.

But people come and go, and that's how people are.

Originally, General Wei Yong was stationed on the frontier, but he was transferred to Gu Zi'an and made a general. The old minister Xiao Zimu volunteered to lead the troops to guard the border fortress.

General Wei Yong is worthy of being the right-hand man of the former king, or Gu Zi'an's right-hand man. In just a few days, he searched through the small town where Meng Yining almost died and caught several Yan Rong spies. Those people could never have imagined that they had spent more than ten years here safely, without wind and grass, which had attracted the attention of Yangshang. In their hearts, the little girl who didn't know the height of the sky had already died in the wildfire, how could she report it.

Wei Yong did not catch Yan Rong's spies in the army, but caught the spies in the palace. The man lowered his face and muffled his denial, and his teeth were knocked out by a punch. The spies in the palace got a death order to eradicate all those who were unfavorable to Yan Rong and those who knew Yan Rong's secrets.

So he killed Zhao Yien, and he wanted to kill Gu Zi'an at all costs. But Gu Zi'an was surrounded and protected by others, and he couldn't take the opportunity to start. finally found out the news that Beiyang was preparing to send troops to Yanrong, he thought that he wanted to serve the country, and quickly delivered the news, but it fell into the hands of Gu Zi'an and General Wei Yong. His jaw was shattered, he couldn't bite his tongue to kill himself, and in the face of torture, he could only slowly spit out word by word.

It's a pity that Yan Rong was also afraid that he would be exposed one day, so he didn't tell him too many secrets of his actions.

And the copper mine hidden in the mountains was also found according to the map drawn by Meng Yining and Le Yi, and it was equipped with armor and weapons.

Putting it to death and coming back to life, the copper mine that Yan Rong had been thinking about for a long time was found by Meng Yining, and was transported to the military camp by Beiyang with great fanfare. Presumably, King Yan Rong could be so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him, gritting his teeth. Beiyang obtained a large number of weapons in this way, and the soldiers were deeply encouraged and seemed to have an urge to try.

Yan Rong knew that Great Xia had a close relationship with Beiyang, and the current Beiyang was not the Beiyang that was cut down by the Five Kingdoms back then. Although they reached the capital that year, the Allied army went deep alone, and it was also a bitter battle, and most of them were damaged. Although the momentum of the Beiyang Tiger and Wolf Drive was not as good as that day, it did not hurt the roots. After Taoguang cultivation, it gradually showed the appearance of the year. Although, the war has only passed for more than eight years.

Yan Rong's envoys ran back and forth in Beiyang, wanting to hear the news, but they did not receive a ray of reliable information.

Gu Zi sat firmly on the court and implemented reforms, but the people under the court were unpredictable. Banquets are often held in the palace to entertain ministers, celebrities and idlers. Beiyang promoted talents in an eclectic manner, and gradually Gu Zi'an had more and more admonitions around him.

Bai Xining was actually content in the harem, but he was not idle all the time, and carefully studied the powder in Zhao Yien's house that made people become walking dead. The harem is empty, but there is often the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping. Bai Xining grew up alone since she was a child and didn't like to be served by others, so Gu Zi'an forcibly allocated someone to her, afraid that she would be tired.

Bai Xining was often locked up in the courtyard alone, holding a skirt in his left hand and stepping on the cage with his left foot, repeatedly studying the antidote to this medicinal powder, and the maid who was close to him had to stand aside and exclaimed, "Miss be careful!" ”。

The chickens chirped in the cage, and she seriously made the antidote one by one and fed it to the chicken's mouth.

Gu Zi'an has nothing to do, and he will come and go around first. didn't bother Bai Xining, just watched her roll up her sleeves and arrange the chickens neatly with her hair tied not far away. When she saw the disobedient flower chicken, she would also snort coldly: "Don't move!" Every time he saw Bai Xining with this appearance, his heart was open.

Shu Ya is gentle and lovely in front of people, but hard like a man behind people.

Bai Xining's personal palace maid went to fetch the mud bowl and walked away for a long time, but she forgot about it. Without looking up, he fiddled with a lively rooster and asked casually, "What time is it?" ”

"It's too late."

She turned around suddenly, saw Gu Zi'an, smiled, grabbed the chicken feet with her hands, and hung upside down and picked them up. The chicken fluttered its wings and wanted to do the girl. Bai Xining's thin waist flashed, his brows furrowed slightly, and he bent his knees and said, "Please say hello to the king." ”

Gu Zi'an's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, looking at the red fingers that were scratched by the chicken's feet, and suddenly the corners of his mouth pulled and took the struggling flower chicken in Bai Xining's hand. Laughing while grabbing it; "Look at how many days you've been in this backyard, how are you doing?"

Bai Xining loosened his sore arm and smiled embarrassedly: "It's not time?" If this chicken is still alive after Shen, I can cure this Gu medicine. In fact, the Yanrong people are still narrow-minded, and many antidotes to Yanrong's witchcraft Gu poison are difficult to find in Yanrong, because those antidotes do not grow in Yanrong. However, the Central Plains is rich in products, and I can easily find common alternatives if I try more. Do they think that if they are rare, they are rare all over the world? ”

The young king in front of him grabbed the chicken and smiled into his eyes, "I see, your antidote has been developed. Originally, I saw those who were sick and poisoned, but today this one is very clear, it seems that your medicine is not only detoxifying, but also curing. ”

The girl's face was a little red, "Your Majesty, give me this flower chicken, if it hurts you, it will be a great sin." ”

"It doesn't matter."

He stretched out his hand and put the flower chicken into the empty cage, "Your antidote, sooner or later, it will come in handy one day, take precautions, so that you can not be chaotic." He looked at the girl's smile and remembered why he was looking for her, "Today, the envoys of the Wei State have arrived, and the palace is invited to a banquet." ”

Bai Xining obeyed, "I'll go back to the palace and change into decent clothes." ”

"I've sent it to your dormitory, let's see if I like it." He chose a delicate dress, and selfishly wanted to see what she looked like in it. It was a pink and purple light gauze dress, and butterflies embroidered with gold and silver threads loomed on the faint tulle.

"Thank you, the king." Bai Xining's mind was thinking of something else, she had never met the people of Wei, which did not border Beiyang, and was a small country mixed with fertile soil in the south. I don't know what the purpose of this visit is, to think that this country is isolated and never has contact with other countries. She asked, "Why did the Wei State come from?" Your Majesty? ”

"Wei and Beiyang are related by marriage, although it was decades ago, but it is not impossible to continue the frontier. Besides, Wei Guo had Yan Rong eyeing him around, so he must have been afraid. ”

"Indeed." Bai Xining nodded.
