Chapter 230: Temptation

However, Jian Yan drilled under the car, but Mu Baili did not pay attention to Jian Yan. What's more, now, he doesn't have time to think too much, all his reactions are instinctive.

He couldn't save Zhao Wuwu in front of everyone desperately.

At this moment, Prime Minister Wen who saves the wilderness is what matters. As long as the Huanglan army is protected, this situation can be controlled, and Zhao Wuwu will be safe and sound at that time. Otherwise, once something happens in the barren territory, it will be difficult for them to return to Daye on their own.

With a sweep of his sleeves, even Lu Guoan rarely saw his own Chitose Master make a move. This time he made a move, and he was still in the barren territory, and it is conceivable that he was forced to helplessness. The carriage rose in the wind and was torn apart in the air. With a snap of his fingers, the body fragments rained down like arrows, heading towards the archers.

When the rain of arrows stops, it means that the rain can pass the sunny day.

Indeed, Mu Baili was quick and ruthless, and he dealt with these archers as soon as possible, giving the desolate army a chance to counterattack. It was too late, and Chiduo gave an order, and the sergeants flew towards the killer.

The man in black who was lying dormant next to him was shocked to realize that the general situation had gone, and immediately turned around and evacuated.

But now it's not so easy to withdraw. Chiduo made people step forward and fight with each other. The situation was in a mess, Mu Baili walked over the crowd to Zhao Wuwu, as a colleague, it was also appropriate to give proper care, but there were some words that could not be spoken.

"Lord Zhao?" Mu Baili glanced at her, and his gaze suddenly fell on the back of Mu Zhaowu's hand.

Only then did she realize that she was too fast, and she was too anxious to push, so that when Zhao Wuwu got into the carriage, the back of his hand rubbed on the ground. At this moment, the plain white soft wattle is glowing red, and the cuffs are stained with blood.

Because it is an abrasion, if not treated properly, the sediment at the wound can lead to wound infection.

Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, "I'm fine, thank you Chitose Master." ”

Mu Baili smiled coldly, but his heart twitched slightly, "Lord Zhao has a great fortune, he can't die, this seat is really impressive." ”

"It's mine to disappoint Chitose Lord." Zhao Wuwu's face turned pale, and he no longer looked at Mu Baili, but looked around. His eyes fell on Jian Yan not far away, he had already got out from under the car, safe and sound.

Realizing that Zhao Wuwu was looking at herself, Jian Yan pulled her lips, and her heart was slightly happy. Just as she was about to speak, she quickly looked away and fell elsewhere. Sighing lightly, Jian Yan walked towards Zhao Wuwu in a daze.

When Chiduo returned from killing the man in black, except for a few escapes, he basically died here.

"I don't know who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he dares to ambush here and plot against us." Chiduo gritted his teeth and looked up at Li Yi, "Master Li lives in the court, so he must be able to guess a thing or two." ”

After all this, Li Yi's face still did not change, but he coughed lightly and said, "I don't know the reason for this matter, so it's important to put it aside for the time being, or go back to the royal city first." When he returned to the royal city and saw the king, he judged again. It is not a good thing to speculate without evidence now. ”

Although Chi Duo was a reckless man, when he saw Li Yi cast his eyes on the Daye officials, he immediately understood. These barren internal wars are not suitable for mentioning in front of the people of Daye.

It must be known that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, not to mention the major political affairs within the wilderness.

Chiduo looked a little irritable, and ordered people to move the crosswood quickly, so as not to miss the time to return to the royal city. He also ordered some people to clean up the battlefield to see if there were any survivors, and if there were still any survivors, they could be brought back to the royal city to confront at that time.

Unfortunately, there were no survivors, but some of them died not from the blade, but from poisoning.

"Probably a poison in the teeth." Chiduo leaned over to inspect it, looking up at Li Yi with slightly gloomy eyes.

Li Yi let out a long breath, "The result is the same, so you don't need to alarm anyone, otherwise it won't be good for anyone." ”

Chiduo nodded, unaware.

After thinking about it, Li Yi walked towards Zhao Wuwu and the others, stepped forward and saluted first, "It alarmed the envoys, is it ours." These rioters are actually because ......"

"The desolate rebels?" Mu Baili smiled gently, "It's really not simple?" Thinking that even the rebellious people are so rampant and organized, it can be seen that the military strength of the barren land is indeed not weak. ”

The sound fell, and the arrow feather in his hand broke "bang". The bright arrow glowed with a blinding cold glow in the sunlight.

Mu Baili casually threw the broken arrow to the ground, and said with a light smile, "Lord Li doesn't have to worry, this is the realm of Desolation, no matter what happens, you Desolate will solve it by yourself." We're here to negotiate peace, not to meddle in things. Your court disputes have nothing to do with Daye. That's why Master Li doesn't have to be embarrassed to explain, let's tacitly do it. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi leaned over and did Daye's etiquette, "Thank you for your understanding." ”

Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, sat weakly on the side, and Wen was carefully washing her wounds and bandaging them with medicine.

Mu Baili said, "Take a look at the number of casualties and delay the departure!" "This situation really needs to be rectified. After all, their respective carriages have been poked into a hornet's nest, and it is impossible to get on the road in time for a while.

Li Yi nodded, "This is natural, when the Hengmu is moved, we will let people go back to the royal city to pay homage to the king and queen." Lord Zhao was injured, and he really deserved to rest. ”

Everyone could see that Zhao Wuwu's face was not very good, and he looked like he was going to fall down at any time. Therefore, at this time, let the large army rest for a while, and let Zhao Wuwu relax.

"Lord Zhao, are you okay?" Li Yi looked at her worriedly.

This Da Ye is really strange, people can't guess it, how could he send a sick person like Zhao Wuwu to come to the wilderness? The capital of Daye is thousands of miles away from the wilderness, and this bumpy rush tossed the young man in front of him to the point that only half a life remained.

Didn't you say that Daye was a prosperous dynasty? How did you get to this job, and you can only have a sick young man? Don't you even have half a practical minister?

"It's nothing, it's just a little tired." There was a thin sweat oozing on his forehead, but his body was very cold, Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, his eyelids drooped slightly, and the whole person looked dying.

This situation made outsiders feel panicked when they saw it, and they couldn't keep it, when did Zhao Wuwu faint.

Zhao Wuwu had a good rest, Wen Gu hurriedly warmed the medicine earlier, and took advantage of this gap to let Zhao Wuwu take it quickly, so as to ensure that she could bear it when she went to Wangcheng.

Seeing this situation, Na Chiduo was naturally full of complaints, "I don't think this Da Ye has any intention to negotiate peace, this is planning to go to war!" ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, walked to the side with Chi Duo, and unconsciously lowered his voice and said, "What do you mean by this, general?" ”

"What do you mean?" Chiduo snorted coldly, "Lord Li is so smart, haven't you seen it yet?" Daye deliberately let such a sick young man come to negotiate peace, if there is any mistake in the middle of the road, then this account will have to be counted on our head. It is said that the two countries are at war and do not come to war, and if anything happens to this sick seedling, we are desolate to our neighbors, but it is the act of a despicable villain. ”

Hearing this, Li Yi was silent.

It's not that he hasn't thought about this, but he didn't expect that even Chiduo could see it. However, a military general can still see the clues, this emperor of Daye, should he really be so stupid? With its clumsy strategy, in exchange for the two countries to start a war in the name of justification, it seems to be a bit ...... Inexcusable.

After all, just this way, Li Yi's observation of Zhao Wuwu, this sick seedling seems to be powerless, but his mind is heavy enough. Zhao Wuwu is not as flamboyant as Mu Baili, and she is so restrained that it is easy to ignore her existence.

Just imagine, can the prison army who can travel thousands of miles and come by the emperor's order, and the young man who can take on this great responsibility at a young age, will he be a simple character?

Fortunately, in the eyes of all countries, the glory of her father Zhao Song has already been famous, and her existence has long been covered. Everyone knows that Daye has a great power minister Zhao Song, and they also know that Zhao Song has an only son, but no one asks how many catties and taels this only son has.

all thought that since he was an only son, he should be pampered and arrogant.

As everyone knows, the reason why foxes are foxes is because they are cunning, not because they are famous like jackals, tigers and leopards. The most unguardable enemy is the most dangerous.

"Master Li?" Chiduo was stunned.

Li Yi waved his hand, "I'll try." ”

Chiduo was silent, watching Li Yi walk towards Zhao Wuwu.

Zhao Wuwu sat under the tree, closed his eyes to rest, and Su Xi guarded by the side, not allowing anyone to approach half a step, so as not to disturb Zhao Wuwu's rest. However, the person who came was Li Yi, so naturally it had to be a different matter.

"Master Li!" Su Xi saluted.

Hearing the movement, Zhao Wuwu opened his eyes. In fact, she had already thought that this Li Yi would have to come to her sooner or later. After all, the Holy Decree earlier allowed Mu Baili to lead the army to negotiate peace, and did not mention the prison army. The sudden appearance of an imperial prison army will naturally arouse suspicion.

Li Yi nodded, which was considered a return of the courtesy, and sat down beside Zhao Wuwu with a smile. When a person reaches middle age, he can see everything more clearly than a young man, not to mention that he has been immersed in the court for many years, so he naturally has his city.

"Lord Zhao is young, so he took the position of supervising the army, and the emperor who wanted to come to this great house had a special preference for Lord Zhao." Li Yi smiled, "The old man didn't mean anything else when he said this, but he just felt that Lord Zhao was very rare, and it was really not easy to be successful at a young age." ”

Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, and the usual smile appeared on his pale face, "Lord Li is polite, it's just luck." There are countless people in the court who are more capable than me, and I really don't dare to stop Lord Li's young and successful reputation. ”

"Lord Zhao is too modest." Li Yi smiled, "Lord Zhao's body is not very good, is it because he is not suitable for the wilderness?" ”

Zhao Wuwu narrowed her eyes, she naturally knew what Li Yi meant, but she didn't answer directly. just made a detour and said with a shallow smile, "After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, so it is inevitable that I will not be a little uncomfortable." Let Master Li laugh, my body is really bad. I knew that this would be the case, and I should have practiced martial arts to strengthen my body in the past. ”

Li Yi said, "I think Zhao Da is both talented and academic, and your Da Ye is a state of etiquette and a prosperous dynasty, so he must be particularly important." I take the liberty to ask, I don't know what position I hold in the DPRK? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wuwu glanced at him.

"The old man doesn't mean anything else." Li Yi explained, "It's just that in the documents handed over by the 9,000-year-old in the past, only the post of the superintendent was mentioned, and nothing else was said." The old man took you back to the court, if the king asked, it would be really difficult to answer, and it would inevitably be a bit dereliction of duty. Of course, if Lord Zhao doesn't want to say it now, he must wait until the king and the front can be explained, then the old man is not reluctant. ”

Zhao Wuwu smiled, "Master Li thinks, what position can I hold at such a young age?" It's just an idle job, occasionally participating in court politics, walking in front of the emperor, and getting the emperor's blue eyes. ”

Li Yi shook his head, "The old man rarely looks at people, I heard that Zhao Cheng, the prime minister of Daye, has an only son under his knees." Living in a simple house all year round, few people know the true face. Coincidentally, Lord Zhao is also surnamed Zhao, I don't know if he is a family member? ”

"Since it's a deep and simple house, I think there is some reason to see it!" Zhao Wuwu replied coldly.

Li Yi's face was embarrassed, and he immediately said, "It's the old man who is abrupt, thinking that Prime Minister Zhao has only one son, and he will not be willing to let his only son come to a remote place and suffer hardships." ”

Zhao Wuwu said indifferently, "Lord Li is doubting me, is it the son of Prime Minister Zhao?" Dare to ask Master Li, just because my surname is Zhao? ”

"No, it's because of Lord Zhao's courage." Li Yi said, "Although Lord Zhao is not in good health, the calmness between his eyebrows is not an ordinary person. As far as this surprise attack was concerned, the old man didn't see Lord Zhao's hesitation and panic from beginning to end. Young people, with such courage, must have been raised from an early age. Thinking about it, it seems that only the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Zhao family can raise such an excellent young man. ”

"I'm here to make peace with you with Master Chitose, and it has nothing to do with who I am." Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly, his face was still incomprehensible, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking, "Master Li doesn't have to be suspicious, as long as the peace can be achieved, it doesn't matter who comes." ”

Li Yi nodded, "Is it that the old man is too entangled, or is Lord Zhao thinking clearly." ”

"Master Li is too modest, Zhao Wuwu is a junior, and he doesn't dare to bear it." Zhao Wuwu bowed his head, this politeness was really difficult to get angry, and he was embarrassed to even open his mouth.

With a light sigh, Li Yi walked away.

Su Xi quickly leaned over, "Childe, what does this Master Li mean?" ”

"He doubts my identity." Zhao Wuwu narrowed his eyes, "I suspect that I am Zhao Song's son, but you can't ask me directly, so I go around the bend." ”

"I still think that he is really worried about Childe's body?" Su Xi snorted.

"It's worry." Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly, "I'm worried that I'll die halfway, and then Daye will have a legitimate reason to start a war against the wilderness." That's why Li Yi wondered if Emperor Daye ordered me to come - to die in the wilderness. ”

Su Xi almost laughed out loud, "What Gongzi said, how can anyone die by himself?" ”

"But that's what they think of me." Zhao Wuwu was very helpless, "My face looks very loveless?" ”

Su Xi looked at it, "It's true that it's distressing." ”

Zhao Wuwu chuckled, "Poor mouth." "Oh, Zhao Wuwu looked at the direction he came, "It's getting farther and farther away from Jinling City." ”

"Childe wouldn't be thinking about the Song Zhuang master, right?" Su Xi quipped.

Zhao Wuwu frowned at her, "You are careful that someone will tear your mouth apart, and I won't help you then." ”

Su Xi pouted, "Yes, yes, I don't dare to say it." ”

"But Li Yi didn't take out the words from me, but I found out a little bit of what he meant." Zhao Wuwu's eyes were slightly gloomy, "In this barren court, there are people who fight and some people who negotiate peace, which is the same as our Daye. Among the courtiers, the faces and hearts of the civil ministers and military generals did not agree. Someone wants to solve us halfway, so as to start a war between the two countries. Fortunately, Li Yi here is estimated to be the Lord and the faction. ”

"That is to say, with Li Yi here, we will be able to negotiate peace with less obstacles?" Su Xi came back to his senses.

Zhao Wuwu nodded, "It's this reason, so you keep an eye on Li Yi a little more and protect him when necessary." Before we find out the true intentions of the Barren Imperial Court, we must have the most basic personal safety guarantees. ”

Su Xi clenched the cold sword in his hand, "I understand." ”

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Jian Yan standing not far away, Su Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, "How do you think that this Lord Jian is like a ghost?" There is always a gloomy look in his eyes, which makes people uncomfortable to look at. ”

"Then don't look at it." Zhao Wuwu didn't want to mention Jian Yan, so he coughed lightly and whispered, "Quan Dang is a stranger, no matter what he does, he will do business." ”

Su Xi got up, "Okay! ”

Not to mention Su Xi, even Wen Jiu felt that the current Jian Yan was gloomy, so when Jian Yan looked at Zhao Wuwu, Wen Jiu would always deliberately block his line of sight to avoid Jian Yan and Zhao Wuwu's line of sight.

It was this move that even Zhao Wuwu laughed, only feeling a little naΓ―ve, but it also made people very sour.

"What do you do?" After getting into the carriage, Zhao Wuwu asked.

Wen said, "That Jian Yan always looks at you with bad intentions, and I look uncomfortable." ”

"You're like a monkey show." Zhao Wuwu chuckled.

"That's better than him staring at you all the time." Wen Gu looked displeased, "I used to look like a good young man, but now I seem to be a heartless person, which makes people unhappy." ”

"Then Dr. Wen thinks that Chitose is pleasant to watch?" Su Xi quipped.

Hui was stunned for a moment, "A true villain is always better than a hypocrite." ”

"That's true." Su Xi smiled, "Fortunately, it won't be long before he can enter the barren royal city, and this Jian Yan won't dare to give birth to a moth, otherwise there won't be any good fruit for him to eat." ”

"I hope so!" Wen always felt unhappy in his heart, "But I always feel that something is not quite right with this Jian Yan, I can't tell what it feels like, I just think that this kid is now unpredictable, which makes people a little flustered." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wuwu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, silent.

In fact, Zhao Wuwu himself is also thinking like this, for some reason, it seems that something will come true to Jian Yan sooner or later. She should know, she knows everything, what else can be fulfilled in him?

Beware of this everywhere, is it possible that you can't prevent him?

"Don't worry, Childe, his humble position has already made people stare at him, presumably in the barren territory, he doesn't dare to act rashly." Su Xi saw that Zhao Wuwu's expression was slightly sick.

Zhao Wuwu nodded, and Wen Gu also followed, "That's what I said, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you." ”

The voice fell, and Zhao Wuwu stared at him meaningfully.

Wen Gu's face tightened, and he immediately narrowed his eyes and didn't dare to look at her more.

The carriage continued to move forward, but because there was a delay on the road, it had to travel all night, until the next day, at dusk, the carriage finally stopped outside the gate of the Wasteland King City.

Wangcheng Shiguo, white mud bricks and tiles, plain white and holy.

Zhao Wuwu coughed lightly and opened the curtain of the car, looking at the white eyes outside. It is almost in stark contrast to the capital of Daye, where it is snow-white and holy, and the capital is luxurious. The cultural and geographical differences are clearly witnessed here.

"Childe?" Su Xi said, "I'm going to enter the royal city." ”

Glancing at the sun falling on the horizon, Zhao Wuwu nodded, "The sunset is so beautiful." ”

Hui was a little stunned, "The sunrise and sunset in the desert are excellent." ”

She looked back at him, "Does Murong also like to watch the sunset?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and nodded almost instinctively, "I like it." After speaking, she was stunned again, why did she mention Murong again? Nowadays, the number of times Murong is mentioned seems to be a bit frequent, what is the reason for this?

Zhao Wuwu and the others did not enter the city, but set up camp outside the royal city, and there was no one from the palace, and Li Yi did not dare to take them into the city. When Li Yi ascends to the king, and the emperor of the wilderness agrees, he will send someone to pick them up into the palace.

Discussing this kind of thing, you have to go through the procedure of passing a pass in Daye, but there are not so many rules in Huanglan, so as long as the emperor nods, there is no big problem.

At night outside the royal city, the sky was full of stars.

Zhao Wuwu stood on the high sand pile wrapped in fox fur, looking at the vast scenery in front of him, which was like a layer of silver under the moonlight.

Su Xi held the sword in his arms, "Childe seems to like this desert scene very much." ”

"It's not that I like it, but I think-" Zhao Wuwu chuckled helplessly, "Actually, I don't like this kind of lifelessness, at a glance it is full of yellow sand, how depressed." ”

"There's nothing wrong with this yellow sand." Su Xi smiled, "The desert is ruthless, but there are not so many bends, life is life, and death is death." Unlike Daye, many times it will make life worse than death. ”

Zhao Wuwu nodded and looked back at the snow-white royal city, "I didn't expect the barren royal city to be so beautiful." The current king of Huanglan is Ada Khan, and his queen is called Yejin'er, and I heard that Ada Khan loves his queen very much, and this stone country was rebuilt for his wife. White, in the eyes of the barren people, symbolizes purity. ”

"Childe seems to know a lot about the wilderness?" Su Xi was stunned.

"Knowing that you are coming to the wilderness, but you don't know anything, isn't it self-defeating?" Zhao Wuwu smiled slightly, "I always have to know what kind of Longtan tiger's den is where I want to come." ”

Su Xi nodded, "So what Gongzi means is that if the road of Ada Khan doesn't work, we can start from Queen Yejin'er?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Wuwu said, "How many heroes shed tears, and they have been sad to pass the beauty pass since ancient times." ”

Wen hurriedly stepped forward, "That Jian Yan is here again." ”

Sure enough, Jian Yan stood firmly at the bottom of the hillside, looking up at Zhao Wuwu on the top.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, and Zhao Wuwu is infected with wind and cold, so he is very afraid of cold. The woman wrapped in a fox fur, dressed in white, is as warm as ever. Under the moonlight, the coldness that belonged to her was reflected, and it became the white moonlight in his heart.

But Zhao Wuwu never thought that he would become the white moonlight in his heart.

The four eyes looked at each other, and Wen was extremely displeased, "Don't look at it, this kid ......"

Zhao Wuwu had slowly walked towards Jian Yan, as if looking at strangeness, showing a look of indifference and alienation, "Is there anything wrong with Lord Jian?" ”

"Can't you just stand here if there's nothing to do?" Jian Yan asked.

He could finally stand face to face with her, and she was finally willing to look back at him and say a few words to him. Just for this extravagant hope, he has been waiting for a long, long time.

"It's cool at night, Ming'er is about to enter the city, Master Jian should rest early!" After speaking, Zhao Wuwu walked towards the direction of the tent.

"Acacia?" He whispered.

She paused, "Please pay attention to your words, this official Zhao Wuwu is the supervisor of the army this time, please Lord Jian think clearly about their respective identities, don't be rude in front of the barren courtiers." My Daye is a country of etiquette, but I don't want to be embarrassed here. ”

"I remember." Jian Yan took a deep breath, "Can I say a few words to you alone?" ”

"Can't!" Zhao Wuwu continued to walk forward.

He turned around, "Are you blaming me, someone was plotting outside the deserted mansion at that time, and I didn't save you in time?" Actually, I ...... at the time."

"It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter if you can save me in time." Zhao Wuwu turned around, his eyes were colder than the moonlight, "The important thing is that I didn't expect you to save me, everyone has their own position, and seeing their position clearly is much better than those who don't." ”

"Lord Zhao?" Jian Yan lowered his eyes, "I know you recognized me at that time, and I also know that I shouldn't have left you in the formation." ”

Su Xi was shocked and looked at Wen Gu around him in disbelief.

"I'll give you a knife and tell you I'm sorry afterwards, do you think it works?" Zhao Wuwu was indifferent, without much emotional ups and downs, "Jian Yan, do your job well, as for the rest, don't think about it." If you feel indebted, think more about the princess. ”

"As for me, it has nothing to do with you, those unrealistic ideas will not fall on you and me after all. Don't force me to deal with you, and don't force me to kill you. You should know that there is only one time and no return here, and there is no chance to give it again. ”

"Worry-free?" Jian Yan looked at Zhao Wuwu's back, "Are you in love with someone?" ”

Zhao Wuwu didn't answer, and he didn't have to answer, since it didn't matter, he was a stranger. You can think whatever you like, and as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter.

She didn't answer, but he looked sad.

He would rather her argue and refute, as long as she still has a little mood swing, it can show that she still cares about him in her heart. But now? Zhao Hehuan is gone forever, replaced by the indifferent and ruthless Zhao Wuwu - Lord Zhao!

"Childe?" Su Xi stepped forward, "Jian Yan is in the formation......"

"It's all gone!" Zhao Wuwu didn't want to say more, "It's better to prepare well and enter the royal city tomorrow." ”

"Then tonight, does Childe still have to go to Chitose Master to discuss?" Su Xi asked.

Zhao Wuwu paused, it stands to reason that he should go to him, after all, there are some contents of the peace discussion, and they still need to be discussed at the end. In this way, tomorrow you will be able to go to the barren court to be prepared.

But......

In Mu Baili's tent, the lights were bright, and there were many people inside.

With so many people here, he shouldn't be ......
