Nian Yun once taught Wen Ying and Wen Ling many things.

It's just that Wen Ying was ignorant and slow to react at that time.

A person does not do something for no reason, and if the person does it, then he must have a purpose.

Wen Ying realized it later, and after Xuan Ling saved her, she realized that Xuan Ling was not here to show off how powerful he was, and there was an antidote. Xuan Ling's affairs have always been arranged by his father and the imperial brother, and Xuan Ling came to her alone, that is, for another purpose.

But what does she have to do to meet each other again.

Early the next morning, Wen Ying got up early to see Yu Wenjing.

Yu Wenjing also woke up this morning, and remembered yesterday's events in a trance, and he saw Wen Ying planted from the window.

When she saw Wen Ying also holding the bruises on her head, Yu Wenjing couldn't help but smile, and then said softly, "Wen Ya, don't climb the window next time." ”

Wen Ying paused, "Then don't lock the door next time, brother." ”

said aggrievedly, "Last time, you promised to let Wen Ya accompany you, but you secretly bolted the door. ”

Yu Wenjing froze for a moment and said softly, "Good ......"

After that, the scars on his body were slightly concealed.

Yu Wenjing raised his hand and touched Wen Ying's head, his eyes slightly downcast.

Things have been going on in secret for the past month, and the rivers and lakes will soon be aware of the suppression of the imperial court, and will send people to deal with them at that time to force the Eagle Tower to comply. According to the plan, it will not take more than a year, and as long as you survive a few times, you can get the antidote.

In the afternoon, Wen Ying took the gold beads to the bun shop under the pretext of going out to buy, wanting to see if she could meet the assassin.

For several days, they didn't see each other again.

Wen Ying had no choice, she could only use this simplest and clumsiest way to meet the other party.

Even Jin Zhu couldn't help but guess, "County Lord, you are waiting for someone." ”

Wen Ying nodded, turned to Jin Zhu and said, "I'll tell you, you don't have to tell your mother again." ”

Jin Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

Wen Ying left a note for the peddler who sold buns, but the hawker was illiterate, accepted Wen Ying's silver, and responded with a smile.

At the beginning of August, Nian Shixun came back with Siluo, and the child was still Rouran.

At the same time, Nian Shixun brought back a very bad news.

Tuyuhun has privately cooperated with Tuda, there is a capable person in Bada who has learned the knowledge of artillery fire a few years ago, Tuyuhun provides the vein and the cannon, a few days ago the spies of Rouran heard the sound at the border of Tuyuhun, it was Tuyuhun who was testing the artillery.

Artillery fire has always been the most powerful military weapon of the Qi State.

From bamboo cannons and explosives to forts and gun trucks, we have never slackened for decades.

Tuyuhun used ore veins, which means that Tuyuhun's cannon is already being developed.

Tuguhun is the same as Rouran, both plains and windy sand, because of the climate and soil, many seeds cannot survive on it, and materials are scarce. It has always relied on plundering in exchange for some necessary materials.

In recent years, the number of trees in the Tuyuhun forest has gradually decreased, and the number of suitable places for living has also begun to shrink.

Once Tuyuhun also develops the fort, then it will have the same advantages as the Qi State.

Maybe Tuyuhun will not choose to start a war with Qi first, but he will inevitably start a war with Rouran first.

Although the alliance between Qi and Rouran has been trying to fund Rouran, the road from Qi to Rouran is the junction of Tuyuhun and Wei, so they can't give more help at all.

Decades have passed since the last war.

The state of Wei has been divided and integrated, and a few years ago it was divided into several countries due to civil strife in Wei. Several other countries were also at war with each other, and Wei developed a battery artillery car, sat firmly in it, and secretly accumulated strength, but once again had an advantage, like a joke, Wei was divided and merged, and it was time to reintegrate.

Nian Shixun had to guess that if the Wei State was integrated, Tuyuhun built a fort, and Tuyuhun's cavalry was already brave, maybe the Wei State and Tuyuhun would ally again.

The biggest advantage of Wei and Tuyuhun is that they are adjacent to each other.

And Qi is too far away from Rouran, and Rouran's troops are weak, so he can only take advantage of the terrain to fight in a roundabout, and he can't take the initiative to attack at all.

The Khan of Burma, who had died of illness a few years earlier, had his son engaged in a struggle for the throne and had once again been plunged into war.

Therefore, the situation is that within five years, war will start, and Qi cannot stand idly by.

The biggest difference between Qi and Tuyuhun is that Qi has a rich land, the sea and water, the mountains and fields, and the Qi country is self-sufficient, so it has always strived for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and they are strong. And Tuyuhun lacks everything, plundering like a robber, coveting the precious stones of Rouran, coveting the land of Qi, they are rude and arrogant, they will tie their heads around the necks of horses, and fight to the death in exchange for better places.

The war is definitely going to start, it's just a matter of time.

Now it is a question of whether to sit back and wait, or to take the initiative to take the lead.

Yu Wenhao pondered this question for a long time.

Qi has a gun truck, but it can't be sent to Rouran, Junji transferred a few people to Rouran to help, but they all died in an "accident" on the way.

It is not difficult to guess that Tuyuhun and Wei do not want Qi and Rouran to be strong together, and Rouran is always fighting because of the disunity of the tribes, and this ally is not strong enough.

Siluo's eyes were worried, and she looked at Yuwen Hao and said, "If there is a war, Rouran can't give any help to Qi State, but Ada also knows the truth of cold lips and teeth, this time we are here to inform Qi State, if there is a way, find other allies." ”

The state of Qi has been stable for decades, and the last time it fought with Tuyuhun was when Nian Sizhong was young.

Later, the Qi State itself still had civil strife, which needed to be rectified, and it took decades, and finally the Qi State became stronger and stronger, but the Qi State wanted to retain the leeway, after Tuyuhun admitted the surrender, he had to pay the Qi State every year, and the tribute handed over by Tuyuhun in recent years was becoming less and less than in previous years, and it can be seen that the next war, Tuyuhun will leave no room for it, it is a vicious war. Even if Qi wins, it will suffer a heavy blow, and then Wei will have an opportunity to take advantage of it, and if the situation changes, the advantages that Qi has built up with great difficulty will be wiped out.

After Yu Wenhao heard this, he turned his head and asked Yu Wenjing, "What does the prince think." ”

Yu Wenjing thought for a long time, and said softly, "The only ally choice is Wei, now that Wei has not yet been unified, if we secretly help and wait for Wei to be unified, our chances of alliance with Wei will be greater than now." However, Erchen thought that it was not necessarily the Wei State, because the Wei State had already had a precedent of alliance with Tuyuhun. ”

did not take advantage of the chaos of Wei Tu to fall into the well, because once he made a move against Wei, Tuyuhun would definitely take the opportunity to sneak attack.

And Myanmar is already fighting in public, weighing the pros and cons, and will not act lightly.

At that time, the situation will only be won or lost, but what they want is a steady victory.

Yu Wenhao nodded, and then asked Siluo and Nian Shixun, "If the Qi State can form an alliance with Wei Tu, Rouran will be able to make a move at that time." ”

Siluo nodded, "If there is a war, Tuyuhun will go all out to deal with the Qi State, if the Qi State and Wei Tu are allied, Tuyuhun will be even more flawless to deal with Rouran, and Rouran can only be used as a secondary attack." ”

The purpose of this war is not to seek peace, but to completely annex and wipe out.

That night, a letter from Yu Wenhao was sent to Linzi and arrived in the hands of Yu Wenxu, who repeatedly considered it for a long time and did not make up his mind.

A few years ago, when the Wei State was divided, he once sent a beautiful woman to Qi, and the Qi State happily accepted it, and then watched the internal fighting in Wei.

Now the beauties of Wei are still in Yuwenxu's harem, but Yuwenxu thinks about it, Wei is not the best candidate for an ally, because Wei and Tuyuhun have long had an alliance, and there are even some speculations that after Wei developed a gun carriage, he secretly sent a letter to Tuyuhun, which would be the case. The state of Wei was divided into five, namely Wei, Jiang, Jin, Lu, and Yang.

If you want to resolve the relationship with Wei Guo, you must first find a reason.

However, this matter is only a secret plan.

Everyone's faces looked the same, and the rumors could not be exposed until the war began.

On this day of August 12, the vendor selling sugar buns finally got the news and said to Wen Ying, "Girl, that son invites you to gather at Baiyulou at noon the day after tomorrow." ”

Jin Zhu followed Wen Ying's side and said worriedly, "County Lord, the other party is in danger, why don't you bring a guard?" ”

Wen Ying shook her head, "No." ”

If the guards knew, the royal brother and father would know too.

She thought about it, but the other party told her the antidote alone, if the royal brother and father came forward, maybe the other party would not necessarily hand over the antidote.

At noon on August 14, Wen Ying went out again to meet Xuan Ling.

In the white jade building, Jin Zhu followed Wen Ying's side, not leaving an inch, and when he saw that the other party was just a teenager, he was also a little surprised, and couldn't help but look at his own county lord twice, but he didn't want to see his own county lord's hand holding the teacup was trembling, and he was vigilant for a moment.

In the place Xuan Ling picked, there was no shortage of people coming and going, seeing Wen Ying nervous, and seeing that the maid on Wen Ying's side was following tightly.

Whispered, "I won't hurt you." ”

Wen Ying tightened her brows, this person had only grazed her neck with a knife a few months ago!

Xuan Ling looked deep, "We've seen it." ”

Wen Ying pursed her lips, of course she has seen it! I only saw it a few months ago.

Xuan Ling looked at him and looked out the window, "Ten years ago, in Xiping County. ”

Wen Ying frowned, and looked up at him with courage.

Xuan Ling's gaze was suddenly, the red mole at the corner of his eye was very clear, and his thin lips opened lightly, "You gave me a bun." ”

Wen Ying didn't have any memory, and she didn't want to listen to what he said, she was a little angry in her heart, and she had a rare temper, "What do you need to do to give me the antidote." Rao is like this, and his words are soft and glutinous.

Tomorrow, the royal brother will be poisoned, and this time it will be more painful than the last time.

Xuan Ling turned his head to look at Wen Ying and took out a porcelain bottle from his cuff, "There is a medicine in it, but it is not an antidote, but it can alleviate the toxicity of a Gu poison attack." ”

Wen Ying subconsciously reached out to take it, but Xuan Ling took back the porcelain bottle very quickly, staring at Wen Ying, as if teasing her.

Wen Ying didn't understand what this person wanted to do, she was very afraid of him, but she wanted the medicine in his hand.

Xuan Ling lowered his eyes, his eyes were gloomy, and he said in a suppressed voice, "On the fourteenth of every month, if you come here to listen to me tell a story, I will give you the medicine that inhibits the attack of Gu poison in advance." ”
