The familiar red light came again, and in an instant, it took Pei Yao away from the Chongtian Palace in the early twentieth year of Wu Yao.

Just when she thought that this dream was about to end, but unexpectedly, after this momentary shock, another scene slowly gathered in front of her eyes-

The high attic, clear and sober, as far as the eye can see, is all plants and trees that she is not familiar with.

This...... What is it?

When is it again?

Are you still dreaming with Xiao Di?

All kinds of doubts flooded in her ethereal consciousness, and after a while, a voice came from behind her, indirectly relieving her a lot.

It was a delicate female voice, with some tentative meaning, and called: "Your Highness." ”

This voice is an instantaneous rain.

Xiao Di replied in a low voice, with no intention of turning back.

"Your Highness," Instant Rain took a step forward and said, "The news that the dust has just come that the emperor is sick. ”

He said 'um' again, and it looked as if he had heard an inconsequential message, but he thought to himself with irony: It was really a coincidence that he was sick at this time.

Instant rain hesitated for a long time, and then said: "I don't know if it's because of the successive defeats on the front line, it is said that the emperor is in a hurry and is not lightly ill. ”

Hearing this, Pei Yaowei completely figured out what year and month it was.

——At the beginning of Yan Ping's third year.

That Xiao Di's location at the moment should be ...... Northern fiefdom, Linyuan City?

"Changqiu Palace......" Xiao Di's heart moved, he was silent for a while, and smiled sarcastically, "He has some guts, he is not afraid that those old men will admonish him to connive at Si Chen......"

"Your Highness Mingjian, the court is indeed uneasy now, but it is not for the affairs of the Changqiu Palace, but for the ......"

Xiao Di asked indifferently, "Why?" ”

"For ......" Xianyu was embarrassed for a long time before he said: "The candidates selected for the Changqiu Palace to quell the rebellion, those civil and military ministers, nine times out of ten, are not satisfied. ”

Pei Yaowei felt that under normal circumstances, with Xiao Di's brain, just looking at the embarrassment of Instant Rain, she should guess who she was talking about.

But the truth is that he has no intention of knowing, nor does he guess the truth at all.

"Your Highness, the ...... of Changqiu Palace" Instant Rain whispered, "I want you to go to the southern border." ”

- 'Smack'!

The wine jar in his hand fell from the high platform, and a cloud of dust gradually rose to the ground.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Di turned around, looking at Instant Yu in surprise, thinking that he had misheard.

Instant Rain frowned and sighed, "Your Highness, it's true." The letter from Manager Cheng himself, now in the south, from the Duke Tao of Jiyang County and Pan Xian of Guan County, several generals have all failed, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough. There are no available people in the court, and it is impossible to say that the emperor was stabbed by such a situation, and he couldn't afford to fall ill. ”

"Changqiu Palace...... I don't know what her idea is, but her intention to summon you to quell the chaos should be true. ”

I just don't know if she alone can withstand Xiao Zhu's Manchu civil and military affairs, and issue this edict smoothly. Instant Rain thought silently.

More than ten days later, the snowy Linyuan City welcomed a guest.

Xiao Di received the news early in the morning and personally went to the city gate ten miles away to greet him, and it was not until the moment King Ning's chariot and horse honor guard came into sight that he finally believed that Pei Yaowei really used the power that Xiao Zhu gave her to use herself.

"Uncle Wang." He took a deep look, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Uncle Wang is all right?" ”

Xiao Jingchi left the warm carriage, and was stirred by the cold wind in the north, and his body trembled twice.

He looked at the goose feathers and snow in the sky, and then looked at Xiao Di, and there was no lack of distress in his eyes: "This king is very good." It's just that this bitter cold in the north has made you suffer! ”

Xiao Di smiled and disagreed: "Look at what you said, this is not like the grand scene of catkins rising due to the wind, if it is not for the north, but it still can't be seen!" ”

After a brief conversation between the uncle and nephew, the guard of honor was restarted and marched towards the city.

As soon as he arrived at Xiao Di's mansion, he didn't have time to sit down and say the last two sentences, warm and warm, Xiao Jingchi first honored the queen's order as an envoy, and worshiped Xiao Di, the king of Chu, as the general of the town, and went to the south from now on to lead the military on the battlefield.

Xiao Di received the order in hand, knelt on the ground, and did not move for a long time.

Xiao Jingchi didn't rush to speak, waited quietly for a while, and then said, "General on the edge of the town, it's time to prepare and set off." ”

Xiao Di looked up at him, his knees slowly off the ground, and straightened his body.

He had already known the direction of the wind in Jingzhong, although before today, he had regarded this rumor as a joke, but just in case, he still ordered his subordinates to pack up and prepare early in the morning, so that they could set off at any time.

He explained two sentences to Wei Chaoyang, asked him to go down to arrange first, and then sent the left and right away.

Xiao Jingchi had been observing his expression, but he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy. After thinking about it, he asked tentatively: "Why, this queen's order is reluctantly received?" ”

Xiao Di held the edict tightly in his hand, and when he heard the words, he shook his head after a moment's pause.

Xiao Jingchi smiled.

"That's unexpected, I don't know how to deal with myself?" He asked.

How to say that?

Since three years ago, Xiao Di never thought that one day, in addition to hatred, he would be able to sprout other feelings for Pei Yaoyan.

"I heard that the emperor is sick." He said, "I'm afraid the queen's order is not good, right?" ”

Xiao Jingchi smiled when he heard this, and said casually: "What do you care about her?" ”

Xiao Di was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, he listened to His Royal Highness King Ning continue: "She has done what is out of public opinion, and the rest depends on whether you can succeed or not." ”

"Kui'er, don't be compared to a little girl!"

He said this with the intention of canceling, but in fact, he was secretly vigilant.

Xiao Di understood what he meant.

He didn't rush to express his position, thought for a moment, and asked lightly, "Does Uncle Wang think I will?" ”

——Taking advantage of this opportunity, he grasped the military power and forced the palace to seize the throne, so that Pei Yao's courage became a joke that has been stinking for thousands of years?

Xiao Jingchi looked at him, he couldn't see through Xiao Yao's mind, and he couldn't tell whether Pei Yao's move was smart or stupid, but he still said, "You won't." ”

Xiao Di smiled.

He knew that Xiao Jingchi didn't have a lot of trust in him, but he didn't care.

"The dust is on the abyss, thousands of miles away, the queen deliberately let Uncle Wang go on this trip, shouldn't it be because no one in the court is willing to be the envoy?"

Xiao Jingchi nodded, "I am willing to be the envoy of Qin, although there are only a handful, but I can count them after all." It's just—"

"You have to have a 'Feng Tang' with enough weight to make you believe in her sincerity in inviting Jun to shoot the Heavenly Wolf, isn't it?"

His Royal Highness King Ning is dignified and noble, and the relatives and nobles of the imperial capital are added together, only this person is trusted by both Chendu and Linyuan, and only such an envoy can facilitate this 'deal'.

Xiao Di pondered for a moment, struck the warrant in his palm, and asked, "Uncle Wang is willing to guarantee the queen?" ”

- Make sure that when I go to the south, the dust will never stumble behind my back?

Xiao Jingchi was silent for a moment, and exhaled slowly.

"The king's family is here in the dusty capital." He said, "And this king will not leave Linyuan City until you return in triumph." ”

"So, is that enough?"

Xiao Di got up, came to Xiao Jingchi, and gave a heavy salute: "Thank you, Uncle Wang." ”

On the day that King Ning arrived in Linyuan City, the King of Chu received the queen's order, and immediately set off for the south with three or two henchmen and a team of personal soldiers.

When passing Yongchuan to change horses and recuperate, Xiao Di met a person at the post station.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"

When this male voice sounded behind Xiao Di, he was confused, but Pei Yaowei immediately heard who this person was.

As Xiao Di turned his head to look, Lou Zhen's figure came into view, and Pei Yao was shocked.

She knew that at the beginning of Xiao Zhu's ascension to the throne, he gave amnesty to the world, and Lou Zhen was released from prison at that time. But she didn't know that in addition to the five years of Yan Ping mentioned by Lou Zhen, he and Xiao Di had a meeting in the three years of Yan Ping.

Seeing that a stranger came to talk, Wei Chaoyang on the side immediately became vigilant and wanted to come forward to ask, but he didn't take two steps before he was stopped by Xiao Di.

This year's Lou Zhen, dressed in an old dark cloak, is not as neat as in the past, with a hood on his hood, covering most of his face.

He carried a long sword on his back, and the blade of the sword was wrapped tightly in coarse cloth, so that no one could see the slightest sight.

I can't say what's going on, Xiao Di looked at him and intuitively felt that this person was not ordinary.

He stepped forward in person, with a calm posture, and asked, "What are the ...... feet?" ”

"An old man in Wu Yao's nineteenth year."

Lou Zhen said.

The nineteenth year of Wu Yao - this year is really a bit of love and hate for His Royal Highness the King of Chu, at first glance, he not only has no clue, but frowns comfortably.

Lou Zhen took off his hood, revealing a pale face, and looked straight at Xiao Di, without shying away from it.

He said: "In the nineteenth year of Wuyao, the death of the head of the Tan family, I was favored by His Royal Highness and saved from death. ”

Xiao Di's eyes moved, and in an instant, they all reacted.

"The foot is ...... Duckweed boy, Lou Zhen? ”

It was almost early spring, the weather was still cold, and Wing Chuan had not snowed all winter, but suddenly on this day, it was covered with silver overnight.

Xiao Di ordered someone to put a bottle of thin wine under the shed, and took advantage of the sporadic time to sit opposite Lou Zhen and have a drink.

"Speaking of which, after it was released back then, it was time to go to His Highness's Mansion to thank Shen En. I don't want to be wrong until now, I hope Your Highness doesn't scold you for being a white-eyed wolf in your heart! Lou Zhen said, raising his glass to Xiao Di.

Xiao Di smiled: "I'm not so stingy yet!" Then he raised his lamp and drank the cup.

The two drank several glasses one after another, Lou Zhen observed his expression, and saw that he was in a good mood, so he said: "When I was in prison, I also heard a lot of news from outside, but I didn't want to, and I came out overnight, but nothing was the same." ”
