Pan Chuan said: "It was the emperor who cut off the support of Queen An, and the one who assisted Emperor Bi to ascend the throne, Empress Renyi and Princess An made great contributions, and they are not under my Pan family." Empress Renyi has collapsed, and that's it, but the emperor and Princess An ...... But he's still alive and well. ”

With a smile in his eyes, he asked as if he was lively: "Today, the little prince is facing me, I have nothing to say, but I am curious in my heart, will I be treated equally when I see those two people in the future?" ”

"Shizi doesn't have to worry about me." Xiao Yun's eyes did not move, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he said slowly: "I never said that as long as you live." ”

The dying fire, especially the last glimmer of light.

The young man saved enough strength, and the blade of the sword in his palm shook, and stabbed straight forward......

In the camp of the Liang army, Xiao Di stood outside the main tent, watching the sky become innocent little by little.

It's a new day.

Gu Zijun got up early today, originally planned to go to watch General Qin's training, but when he was far away, he heard that the person who was training was inevitably affected by him, and he immediately cut off this thought, and with a turn of his feet, he came to His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

On the way, I happened to meet Wei Chaoyang, who had just left, and the two gossiped and went their separate ways.

He came to the tent and came to the side of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was dressed in civilian clothes, and did not salute, only called 'Your Highness', and then directly provoked the conversation: "I have just seen Chaoyang, and I heard him say that the silence has reached the dust?" ”

Xiao Di felt that he was asking nonsense, but he nodded politely.

Seeing that the war was about to end, not only did Xiao Zhu have a new move there, he was here, and he was always paying attention to the situation in Kyoto, and a few days ago, he had secretly sent Li Xiao back to the dust capital for Jiang Yi's matter.

Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Zijun said: "When today's son cares about reputation and face, it is impossible to let Jiang Yi go openly, but it is unlikely that he will really give him an edict to die. As he spoke, he crossed his arms, turned sideways, and looked at Xiao Di: "It's just that you handed over this matter to Mo Yan, I don't understand it, do you want to save it, or don't you want to save it?" ”

Xiao Di laughed.

He turned around and walked back to the tent and said, "Jiang Yi fell into today's realm, and I also have a share of the credit. Your words, no matter how I answer, don't seem to be very appropriate. ”

Before borrowing the matter of Princess Qi and Changming Sword to design Jiang Yi, and Xiao Zhu was suspicious of him, although Gu Zijun did not participate in it, he also made up for this lesson. When he first heard about it, he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart, but now when he looked back, he became more and more confused.

"Princess Qi's incident, I always feel that you want to get rid of Jiang Yi."

Xiao Di was noncommittal, "Doesn't Xiao Zhu want to get rid of you?" ”

The two opposing sides are plotting to weaken each other's power, and there is no need to say more.

Gu Zijun also understands, but-

"I'm also a talent, but if you put me in prison, even if the emperor has an appreciation for me in his heart, he will definitely not bother with my life and death." After thinking about it, he corrected again: "No, he will only hope that I will die soon." ”

- Instead of being like you did to Jiang Yi, you obviously single-handedly pushed him to the current state, but you still have to think more about sending capable generals back to Beijing to worry about his life and death.

It's not someone else, but Li Lian, who has a grudge against Jiang Yi for killing his father.

Gu Zijun couldn't figure out what His Royal Highness the King of Chu wanted to do.

Still, he remembered something else.

"Your Highness, forgive me for one more word, Concubine Jiang ......" He peeked at Xiao Di's face and said tentatively: "Do you also want to take care of one or two?" ”

Xiao Di glanced at him, sat behind the bookcase, took the book and flipped through it, and didn't speak.

Gu Zijun continued: "Jiang Yi is her only brother, no matter what is horizontal in the middle, it will eventually break the bones and connect the tendons. Women are soft-hearted, although Concubine Jiang has been loyal to you over the years, she may not have seen her brother die because of you. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Di spoke up, quite playful: "Do you want me to save Jiang Yi?" ”

Gu Zijun rolled his eyes, a little embarrassed.

"I think it's ......" he sighed and said as pertinently as possible: "Guohou has been immortal for many years, not to mention that at the beginning, winning or losing was a matter of fairness, and it was not worth holding grudges." If you care about Concubine Jiang in your heart, then now, it is even less worth being sad about the old things. ”

"You're right." Xiao Di nodded, and then said, "But this matter is here with me, and it has never had anything to do with Jiang Yi." ”

Gu Zijun looked puzzled.

Xiao Di raised his head from the scroll, looked at him and said, "I don't care about Jiang Yi's life and death, I only care about what Mo Yan will do." ”

Gu Zijun was stunned for a moment, and finally understood.

No wonder, no wonder I can't get around this strange circle no matter how much I think about it, it turns out that I chose the wrong focus.

"Jiang Yi's life and death are not important, but the practice of silent words is important...... he asked: "Do you hope that he can save Jiang Yi and save Jiang Yi, which means that he knows to put your orders first, and not be swayed by personal feelings?" ”

Xiao Di shook his head.

He told Gu Zijun: "When Mo Yan went back, I only said that I would hand over Jiang Yi's affairs to him, but I didn't say that he must save Jiang Yi." ”

Gu Zijun was stunned again.

Xiao Di said: "I just want to see what he will do, and I want to hear why he did it." As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, and then said: "-You, this brain should be simpler, some don't think so much, sooner or later torture yourself to death." ”

Gu Zijun's expression changed for a while, and when he was about to say something, a message came in from outside, saying that it was the brigade of Jiyang County Prince, and it was almost there.

Hearing this, the two glanced at each other, Xiao Di said that he knew, and sent the person away.

At the beginning of November, the Son of Heaven decreed that Xiang Tao, the prince of Jiyang County and the hussar general, was the main commander, leading 20,000 soldiers and horses to gallop to the battlefield of the southern capital, and the general leader of the military affairs in the account.

Now that Xiang Tao's team is about to arrive, it means that it is time for Xiao Di to go back.

As soon as the soldier left, Gu Zijun sighed, "Although I have seen the virtue of that person clearly over the years, such a thing ...... Tsk, this is called unloading the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, right? He is also the Son of Heaven, and he is really embarrassed to make it, so he doesn't know how to make a face at this time? To put it mildly, just with your military merits, are you still missing the part in front of you! ”

Xiao Di glanced at him lightly and said softly, "You are the donkey." ”

“…… Yes? ”

Gu Zijun only thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked at him in horror for a while, and sure enough, His Royal Highness the King of Chu had a dignified and serious complexion, and he didn't look like he had said a joke at all.

I really misheard. He thought.

How many years has it been since Your Highness has shown that playful side? Probably because after this time was released, he followed the army all the way, and when he saw that His Royal Highness's temperament had changed somewhat, he was also in a trance, and he unconsciously remembered his past temperament, and he was confused.

Well, it must be like this, it's my own brain that is messed up and I heard it wrong.

Gu Zijun was comforting himself like this, and listened to Xiao Di say again: "Do you think that he changed the commander at this time, just because he was afraid that I would take this credit?" ”

“…… Otherwise? ”

Xiao Di smiled faintly: "Don't forget, in the hands of the Pan family, there is also the second son of the Xiang family." ”

Xiangyao?

Gu Zijun pondered for a moment, and his eyebrows gradually appeared.

By the way, there is also Xiangyao.

Early the next morning, the Duke of Jiyang County led the army into the account and handed over the military power of Shuai Yin from His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

"Xiao Wang Bucai, from now on, the Pan family's thief will be handed over to the general to worry about." Xiao Di said with a smile: "I hope that the general will regain the southern capital and triumph as soon as possible." ”

Xiang Tao clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "I accept the auspicious words of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and I am willing not to disgrace my life!" ”

After dealing with the false courtesy, Xiao Di instructed his confidants and close ministers to pack their bags and set off for Beijing as soon as possible.

In the main tent, Xiao Di gathered the last few books and asked Wei Chaoyang on the side: "Is the carriage prepared for Mrs. Zhao's mother and daughter ready?" ”

"It's all ready, Your Highness rest assured."

Xiao Di nodded: "You go to Mr. Yiyuan's account and tell them, so that their family of three doesn't have to worry." ”

Wei Chaoyang received the order, and was just about to go out, but a person came in first.

"General Qin?"

Xiao Di raised his head when he heard the sound, met Qin Libei's gaze, and gradually put down the book in his hand.

He waved his hand at Wei Chaoyang, who frowned and withdrew. At this time, he asked, "Is there something?" ”

"Is Your Highness free?" Qin Libei's face was calm and seemed extremely reluctant, but he still walked in and asked him, "The minister has a few words, I want to say something to His Highness." ”

Xiao Di smiled calmly, "That's the case...... The tent is stuffy, and the general goes out for a walk with the king? ”

Qin Libei did not object.

The two walked to the small dirt slope not far from the camp, Qin Libei lowered his head and did not speak, and Xiao Di had no intention of speaking first. After being silent for a long time, the geese in the sky flew a few lines, and the person who came to the door finally spoke up.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu," Qin Libei looked at him with calm eyes, "His Highness's talent in using troops is increasing day by day, and there has never been a time to disappoint." ”

"Talent in the use of soldiers?" Xiao Di smiled, but he didn't dare to agree: "This time the battle with the Pan family, how did you give me the opportunity to display my talent in the army?" It's just a plot and calculation, and it's not worth mentioning. ”

He looked at Qin Libei, "Libei, you don't want to talk to this king, do you?" ”

Qin Libei was silent for a moment and said, "Your Highness is wrong, I just said this." ”

Xiao Di's eyes were slightly dark, waiting for his next words.

"Even if you lose the position of the East Palace and the emperor, Your Highness is still the most worthy of service in this world." He said: "I want to ask, in the past eight years, has your mind ever changed?" ”

Xiao Di was silent.
