Nangong Qing's face was solemn, without the slightest joke, and repeated in a deep voice: "Father, the son has a way to make the King of Chu retreat, and it doesn't cost a single soldier." ”

"Really?" Emperor Xichu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he held his hand tightly.

Even Queen Wang and Concubine Song couldn't believe that they had heard: "Emperor, are you serious?" ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Nangong Qing nodded: "Yes, Erchen is ninety percent sure, as long as he goes to see the King of Chu, he will definitely persuade him to withdraw from the army." As long as the father allowed it, the sons went immediately. ”

Emperor Western Chu finally had some spirit, and a trace of blood appeared on his face: "Okay, good, Qing'er, as long as you can make the King of Chu withdraw from the army, my father will immediately announce to the world, and after a hundred years, the rivers and mountains of Western Chu will be your successor......"

"Father, don't talk about this, Father Emperor Long is in good health, he must live forever, and the subjects of Western Chu, as well as the queen mother and children, are all indispensable to the father." How dare Nangong Qing let such words spread, and immediately said: "If the father and emperor agree, the child will go immediately?" ”

As soon as he thought of Nalan Ye, Emperor Xichu seemed to be unable to control his anger: "Okay, Qing'er, I know that you and Nalan Ye were very close before, and I don't think he will do anything to you." You go to see him instead of me, and ask Nalan Ye, why did he dare to rebel against me for the sake of a woman? Am I sorry for him? I gave him glory and wealth, the highest position of power, and he was actually for a woman...... cough cough cough ......"

Seeing that Emperor Western Chu was about to get angry again, Nangong Qing hurriedly patted him on the back, and immediately said: "Father is angry, and his son will immediately ask King Chu to give an explanation." ”

Seeing that Emperor Xichu finally calmed down under the appeasement of Queen Wang, and calmed down a lot after taking medicine, he left with peace of mind.

But as soon as he came out of the Longyin Palace, the composure on Nangong Qing's face relaxed, he knew that what he just said was to comfort Emperor Xichu, and heart disease still needs heart medicine, but Nalan Ye ...... How could he have been able to convince him so simply?

Why is Nalan Ye angry, the soldiers are coming to the city, Nangong Qing knows very well that if he is replaced, he is afraid that for the sake of Luo Qingluan, he will also be the same. Comparing his heart to his heart, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Nalan Ye's actions, but complained very much about Emperor Xichu's actions. But after all, it is his father, and he, as a son, can only sigh, there is nothing he can do.

When Nangong Qing came out of the palace, Nangong Yu, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time and did not go with him, greeted him: "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

"The father was angry again, and the imperial doctor said that if there was no way, the father was only afraid of ......"

After telling the situation of Emperor Xichu, Nangong Yu was also very worried: "Then what should I do?" Alas, it would be good if Princess Chu was here, with her, no matter what illness her father had, she would definitely be cured. ”

"So, I asked my father for his will, and now I want to go to see Ziqing." Nangong Qing said, "Only by persuading Ziqing to withdraw from the army, will my father recover, no matter what, I have to give it a try." I hope that looking at the past friendship, Ziqing can focus on the overall situation. ”

Thinking of this, even Nangong Yu didn't give up hope.

How deep Nalan Ye's feelings for Luo Qingluan are, they are all clear, now that Luo Qingluan is missing, his life and death are unknown, I am afraid that it is more difficult to want Nalan Ye to withdraw from the army than to ascend to the sky.

The two of them walked slowly towards the city gate, and although the crowd on the street along the way was less than before, it was at least stable and normal. Seeing this scene, Nangong Qing couldn't help but feel a little more hopeful, and quickened his pace and walked towards the city gate.

……

Ten miles away from the capital, all over the mountains, on the small roads, on the official road, all set up checkpoints, passers-by to show their identity, can be guided by the road, and are not affected. Although you can see the fluttering Chu flags everywhere, and there are countless Chu soldiers standing guard under martial law, the people of Western Chu have become accustomed to it for a while.

Seeing Chu Jiajun, instead of being afraid, everyone greeted each other, and Chu Jiajun also nodded politely, without disturbing the people at all.

In the past, the Puguo Temple, where incense was flourishing, has been temporarily requisitioned by Nalan Night. Pilgrims are no longer allowed to come and go at will, but the temple is still the same as usual, from the support to the novices. Even Mrs. Luo, the grandmother of Luo Qingluan, who has been cultivating here all the year round, didn't feel anything unusual, but she had a majestic grandson-in-law, and she would occasionally come to see her in her free time.

In a clean room, Nalan Ye had just taken off the note on the ankle ring of a black bird and unfolded it to look at it for a moment.

If someone is in the room at this moment, they will see Nalan Ye, who has become more and more cold recently, with a smile on the corner of his lips. The eyes that have been cold are also a little more gentle, and they look directly at the note in their hands.

The note was not large, and there was not a single word on it, just a drawing of a cat's head. Although this cat's head painting is lifelike and vivid, how can it not make Nalan look so beautiful at night, right?

Only Nalan Ye can understand, what he has been worried about, his little wife Luo Qingluan, is really safe. Not only is it safe, but he has also found the branch of the Dark Night Hall, otherwise he would not be able to use the Dark Harrier to pass the book to him.

It's just that looking at the number of the foot ring on the claws of this dark harrier, it should be a branch located in Dongwan. Nalan Ye didn't know how Luo Qingluan went to Dongwan and why he hadn't come back yet. But thinking about the current situation in Xichu, if Luo Qingluan doesn't know the situation, it's normal that he won't come.

Dongwan ......

Qingluan is now in Dongwan, and he doesn't know what happened.

Nalan was a little distracted, holding a note, his eyes were a little abrupt.

Suddenly, a voice sounded outside the wing: "Marshal, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince ask to meet." ”

With a move in his eyes, Nalan Ye quickly put away the note and put it in his arms, and said lightly: "Let them in." ”

Although he hadn't seen Nangong Qing and Nangong Yu yet, Nalan Ye could also guess his purpose. He has been besieging the city for almost half a month, although he has not prevented ordinary people from entering and leaving, as long as it is related to the Western Chu royal family, especially some tribute escorts, etc., they have all been cut off. Of course, he didn't block all the roads, at least he left the waterways unmanaged, otherwise...... I'm afraid that the entire economy of Xichu is going to collapse, which is not what he wants to see.

Even so, this move also made Emperor Xichu angry, and Nangong Qing's intention was nothing more than to let him withdraw his troops and leave, and even hand over his military power, give him a nice title, and not blame him for the past...... Then the monarch and the ministers were released, and everything was as before.

Hehe...... Nalan Ye sneered, is it that simple?

When Nangong Qing and Nangong Yu were brought to the wing room by a personal guard, the two looked at each other, both crying and laughing.

In the past, Nalan Ye and their peers had a close relationship with each other, and they were friends, but now they have changed, they can only politely ask to see, and they can't show the slightest dissatisfaction, it's really this time and that time.

walked in, but the two of them were a little unexpected, Nalan was dressed in regular clothes at night, his black hair was like a waterfall, and there was a curling sandalwood on the long table in front of him, leisurely and light. He indifferently pinched a white porcelain teapot, the tea flowed out of the mouth, the clear tea flowed into the cup, the tea leaves were as green as needles, and they stood up one by one, as if they were alive.

As if he heard footsteps, Nalan didn't raise his head at night, but his voice was calm and calm: "Just sit down." ”

I don't feel the slightest anger, I don't have half a sharp edge, it's as natural as a few people usually get along. Nangong Qing glanced at Nangong Yu, and his heart was a little more calm, he looked around and sat down on the left hand side of Nalan Ye.

"Haha...... Ziqing, did you know that we were coming, so you deliberately made tea for us to drink? Nangong Yu suddenly burst out laughing, and his smile was a little exaggerated: "Sure enough, it's a good brother, come, let me taste your skills?" ”

Nalan didn't say much at night, handed over the cup that had just been poured, and smiled slightly, full of energy.

Holding up the porcelain cup smaller than a palm, Nangong Yu sniffed the fragrance of tea, shook his head a few times and said, "This is the first time I have drunk the tea made by Ziqing himself, and it is really fragrant!" ”

hurriedly took a sip, but Nangong Yu almost threw the teacup out: "It's so hot, it's so hot!" ”

It seemed that he had noticed the temperature of the tea, he was embarrassed, put down the teacup and kept grinning, revealing a pitiful expression: "Ziqing, the tea you made is too hot, you want to burn me?" ”

With a faint smile, Nalan Ye poured another cup and handed it to Nangong Qing: "Taste it?" ”

I always felt that Nalan Ye's demeanor and tone were a little wrong, so that Nangong Qing didn't dare to say it easily, he picked up the teacup and looked at it, and said tentatively: "Ziqing, are you okay?" Today we're here to ......"

"Hey, I'll drink tea first." Nangong Yu was afraid that Nangong Qing would be too direct, so he interrupted him and said, "It's rare that Ziqing makes us tea, so you can taste it." ”

With something on his mind, where is Nangong Qing in the mood to drink tea? He simply put down the teacup, looked at Nalan Yezheng and said, "Ziqing, thank you for your tea, but we are not here to drink tea today." You know what we're here for, right? ”

His heart jumped, Nangong Yu didn't expect Nangong Qing to say it as soon as he came up, but when he heard the words, he couldn't help it, he also laughed: "Ziqing, it's really not a secret, we can't do it, otherwise how could we be cheeky and beg you?" ”

Nangong Qing said: "Father is indeed doing something wrong, he shouldn't believe the rumors, so that the princess of Chu is harmed...... But Ziqing, you are a person from Xichu after all, you can't really lead the troops to rebel, right? If you do this, you are only afraid that Dongwan, Southern Wei and Beiyue will see it in their eyes and be happy in their hearts, this is really the joy of the relatives and the enemies! ”

"Really?" Suddenly, a sharp gaze swept over, and Nalan Ye's entire momentum changed.

is no longer peaceful, not warm, the whole person is as sharp as a sword out of the sheath. He looked at Nangong Qing coldly, and then glanced at Nangong Yu, whose face had changed greatly: "The whereabouts of Qingluan, who was harmed by Emperor Xichu, are still unknown, I didn't kill him with my own hands, I am already worthy of him!" ”

"Ziqing, don't get excited." Nangong Qing saw that Nalan Ye was angry, and hurriedly said: "I know that it is indeed my father's fault, but since the mistake has happened, it is useless to complain." My father said that as long as you are willing to withdraw your troops and no longer besiege the capital, you can agree to whatever conditions you have. ”

"Really?" Knowing that Luo Qingluan was safe, Nalan Ye did not reveal it at all. He looked at Nangong Qing expressionlessly, and said lightly: "If you want this king to withdraw from the army, you can go back and tell Emperor Xichu, let him return my Qingluan to me, if there is a hair missing, let me compensate a hundred times, if Qingluan suffers a little grievance, let him apologize in person, until Qingluan is satisfied." ”

"If he can't find Qingluan again, then let him pay it with his life!"
