In the military tent, Situ Che came to report the situation to Bai Yucheng as usual.

"Your Highness, I don't know if I'm too careful, I always feel that someone seems to be spying on us." Situ Che's gaze fell sharply on the corner of the cloth tent that was gently lifted by the breeze.

After a slight rustling sound, everything returned to calm.

Bai Yucheng smiled and picked up the teacup, and praised: "You are worthy of being an outstanding member of the Situ family, and your insight is already nuanced. ”

"Your Highness has won the prize."

"There's something to say now."

"Yes. Yesterday, Your Majesty sent a letter, hoping that you can immediately return to the court, return the military power, and focus on the relationship with the important ministers of the court, so that when he becomes a great treasure, he will win the hearts of the people. ”

"And what do you think?" Bai Yucheng glanced at it and asked with a smile.

"According to what your subordinates have seen, Your Majesty should be afraid that His Royal Highness will take Wu Yue in one fell swoop and entrap Liu Guo, in order to prevent you from being overshadowed by your high achievements and seeking power to seize the throne, so as to limit your ability."

"Hehe, Situ, you still don't know my father. He has never been such a person, my father had no intention of fighting for power, only because the first emperor liked to kill, and on the day of the five-star sun, he killed all his sons, and my father became the only posthumous son of the first emperor, so he ascended to the throne. His father was weak by nature, cowering, and listened to and believed in everything, which was his consistent style. What he wanted to target was only Xiang and Fahrenheit. This action must also be fueled by someone behind the scenes, wanting to exploit my rights through the hands of my father. Bai Yucheng took a sip of tea and said lightly, "I think it should be my second brother's idea for my father." I have been secretly planning in Wu for more than ten years, and he should have almost encircled the ministers of the DPRK and China. If I surrender my military power at this time, it will be tantamount to catching a turtle in an urn and letting others slaughter it. ”

The Song State has always followed the system of brother to brother, and focused the spearhead of the battle for the throne between the princes, so as to ensure that those in power can rest easy for a while.

Emperor Song is in his twilight years, dying of old age, and he doesn't know when he will drive the crane west with a kick of his legs. If Bai Yucheng loses his sovereignty, his biggest beneficiary is none other than the second prince of the Song Kingdom.

"In the opinion of His Highness, what should we do to lure out the people behind the scenes? How many horses and combat power do you need? ”

"I don't need any weapons. You go and prepare twenty horses of red silk and seven horses of red cloth, and tell all the soldiers that I will marry Ji Lianmei, the princess of Liu Kingdom, but I must block all news from the outside world. ”

"Your Highness, this is ......"

"Lead the snake out of the hole."

The early morning sunlight shines through one of the windows and shines on Ji Lianmei's sad sleeping face.

Bai Yucheng stood softly and quietly at the door of the cell, frowning slightly, with a faint tingling in his heart.

He walked forward slowly, his fingers gently rubbing back and forth between Ji Lianmei's eyebrows, as if trying to smooth the pimple in her eyebrows. The Ji Lianmei in his impression, no matter when, even when she was sleeping, she had a pure smile on her face. Now, she has learned to grieve too.

Although this move was very gentle, Ji Lianmei still opened her eyes quickly. Bai Yucheng's hand was quickly withdrawn as if he had been electrocuted, stood up, and looked away.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the young man in front of her, and asked weakly, "Your Highness still wants to torture me, so just come." I'm not afraid of anything anymore. ”

Compromise, not because of strength, but because of the loss of a reason to resist.

"Move into my tent. After all, in two days, it will be our big wedding day. ”

"Oh......" Ji Lianmei paused for a long time, and suddenly suddenly asked back, "What did you say?" Big wedding? ”

"yes, what? Not happy? The corners of Bai Yucheng's mouth rose slightly, and he picked up the broken hair of Ji Lianmei's sideburns.

Ji Lianmei pushed his hand away, pointed at his nose, and sneered: "Bai Yucheng, I don't believe it, if it were you, your heart would be big enough to marry someone who killed your friend and pushed you into despair." I tell you, even if I die, I won't marry you. ”

"In this king's place, when will it be your turn to be a prisoner? You just have to obey my commands, understand? ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuruo helped Ji Lianmei bring a few things from the cell to Bai Yucheng's military tent.

"Princess, in fact, His Royal Highness is ...... Not the heartless and unrighteous person you think. When I was a child, Yuruo lost both parents and was displaced, and it was His Highness who rescued me from the wolves. His Highness treats us very well, and although his personality is indifferent, he has never killed innocent people. Princess, in fact, many things are not necessarily believing......." Yuruo saw that Ji Lianmei was depressed, and couldn't help but say to her.

"Yuruo, there is no need to say any more. Whatever the truth is, I only care about the outcome of things. Ji Lianmei put away the things she brought one by one, and said lightly, "I'm a little tired and want to go out for a walk." ”

"Princess, then I'll accompany you to ......"

"No need, leave me alone."

Bai Yucheng instructed the guards of the cell and the guards of the camp to let Ji Lianmei enter and leave freely, so Ji Lianmei was able to walk unhindered to the border city of the Great Song Dynasty.

The name of this city is Chaoge, and it is one of the more prosperous border cities in the Song Dynasty. The people of the Song Dynasty were good at business and made great contributions to the inheritance and development of Yin Shang culture, especially in business. At that time, Shangqiu, the capital of the Song Dynasty, Taoqiu on the north bank of Jishui, and Pengcheng at the confluence of Zhushui and Surabaya, were all extremely prosperous commercial cities. However, at this time, under the rule of mediocre people, this prosperous place is now a desolate place.

Ji Lianmei found a delicately decorated restaurant, sat on a bamboo mat, and drank slowly, cup after cup.

Everyone in the world says that good wine can eliminate all worries, but Ji Lianmei only feels that raising a glass to eliminate sorrow is even more sorrowful. Those desperate memories seem to be replaying half of the marquee in front of her eyes, and the things she desperately persuaded herself to let go of are extremely clear at this time, and she has mixed feelings in her heart.

Ji Lianmei threw her head up and slammed down a glass of spirits, forcing her mind to be chaotic again.

In a dim spot, she seemed to see someone sitting across from her. Wearing a hat, his face is not very clear, wearing a light blue dress, and the corners of his mouth are crooked and he smiles, revealing two tiger teeth.

"Girl, you're Ji Lianmei, right?"

"Who are you? Are you looking for me? Ji Lianmei blinked her eyes, trying to see the man's face clearly. The voice sounded like a man, and it seemed to have some déjà vu.

"You hate Bai Yucheng, right?"

Hearing this name, Ji Lianmei seemed to sober up a lot all of a sudden, and her nerves became unconsciously sensitive, and she asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that we have a common enemy." The man took a sip of wine and continued, "You hate Bai Yucheng for killing your relatives and friends, and so do I, so why don't we join forces to bring him down and avenge our relatives and friends?" ”

"You mean, kill Bai Yucheng?"

"Princess Merciful is really smart. I heard that Bai Yucheng wants to marry you, why don't you take this opportunity to kill him, avenge Ji Jingchen, Ji Xia, and all those who died because of him? ”

"Hehe, why should I believe you? You're just trying to use my hand to achieve your goals. Ji Lianmei chuckled and explained the purpose of this person in one word.

"You can't say that, you obviously want to kill him, don't you?"

Ji Lianmei was silent for a moment, and then asked slowly: "What do you want me to do, in exchange, what can you help me with?" ”

The man took out a gold medal, which was engraved with a very smart pattern, and the word "Childe" was written in big words in the middle.

The surname Gongzi is the surname of the royal family of the present-day Song Dynasty. Ji Lianmei narrowed her eyes slightly, looking this person up and down.

"With this gold medal, you can escape the pursuit of foreign soldiers and live in the Song Kingdom with peace of mind, of course, I can also promise you a Song State mansion and some jewels to ensure your future life."

Ji Lianmei squinted at this person, her brows furrowed slightly.

This person knows very well what she is in and what she wants, perhaps, this will be an opportunity to take revenge on Bai Yucheng and let herself get out of the way.

"Okay, I can promise you, but in order to show your sincerity, I will take this gold medal in advance."

"Princess Lianmei is really a cheerful person, so that's it, let's decide."

Ji Lianmei took the gold medal, looked at it carefully, and when she looked up again, the person wearing the hat was gone.

Look at the quality and fineness of this gold medal, it should be real.

Ji Lianmei carefully put away the gold medal, helped her head, which was slightly dizzy from the smell of alcohol, and walked out of the restaurant.

Situ Che sat at Ji Lianmei's next table, and he could see everything clearly.

"Your Highness, you expected it well, there was indeed someone who instigated Ji Lianmei to assassinate you on the wedding night, and this person has the token of the Great Song royal family, but he is dressed very tightly, and he can't see the appearance and the icon on his body."

Bai Yuchengxin stroked the piano with his hand, his face was soft, as calm as listening to someone else's story.

"He really couldn't help but want to attack me."

"Your Highness, do we need to find out about that person?"

"No, don't do anything, wait patiently for my big wedding day, that person will definitely show his feet."

The reason why Bai Yucheng lifted all the prohibitions of Ji Lianmei was to lure out this person and find out the traitor who was lurking around him. It's not time to close the net yet, and this time, he will definitely find out the people with two hearts in the military camp one by one.

It seemed that everything was going as planned, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

Ji Lianmei looked up at the bright moonlight, holding a delicate short blade in her hand, and slowly recalled what had happened during the day.

She hesitated. Kill Bai Yucheng, can all the problems really be solved? If he died, would I really feel at ease?
