Both Twilight Changyan and I underestimated the number of people in Xuancang on the road from Yeyou all the way to Xuancang.

We had only been on the road for seven days, and the number of people in the team had increased from no more than 100 to more than 500, and the problem caused by the surge was very immediate: the rations and supplies prepared by Lei Jue for us were consumed too quickly, and they could have met at least five months' needs, but now I am afraid that they will be exhausted in less than a month.

Considering that as we continued to move forward, there would still be new Xuancang people joining the returning army, and Twilight Changyan and I began to discuss early on how to solve the problem of material shortages. But Xuancang destroyed the country for ten years, and although Twilight Changyan called on the loyalty of the old department, these people really have no family background, and no one can think of a way to solve the urgent need.

We have first reduced our daily rations, but we must not reduce the portion of the elderly, the weak, the women and the children. On the whole, it is still a symptom rather than a root cause.

When I was at a loss, Lei Nian pointed to a location on the map, "There is a big family here, the young master's surname is Yan, and his mother is from Xuancang, who died of illness two years ago. ”

After hearing this, Twilight Changyan shook his head and said: "I asked the young master of the Yan family to conspire with me to restore the country five years ago, but this young master Yan said that his father was a night ghost, and he also regarded himself as a night ghost, and he was unwilling to contribute to the restoration of the country by Xuancang. ”

Lei Nian asked, "Five years ago, could you tell Princess Xuanhu that she was going to succeed to the throne of the empress?" ”

"Your Majesty was only twelve years old that year, and I will not tell anyone what I have in mind, lest anyone disadvantage Your Majesty." ”

"That's it." Lei Nian said with a smile: "Although the Yan family's business is in Diheng, it started in the Yeyun territory, and Xuancang has been destroyed, if you rush to invite, he will naturally not confess to you for self-protection." Now that Your Majesty is ready to return to Lingmu Valley to ascend the throne, time has changed, and presumably the young master will also judge the situation and make plans again. ”

Twilight Changyan thought for a while, but still felt that it was inappropriate, "As far as I can see, Yanyu will not lend a hand." I don't know what the wise king is proposing like this, what is his plan? Could it be that the wise king has plotted with the Word to lead us forward? ”

"The Dusk Country Master is too suspicious, and now that I am alone, even if I want to conspire, I am afraid that I am powerless." Although Lei Nian still smiled, the taste in his tone had changed.

"But my Xuancang brigade is still in the territory of Yeyou, as long as King Xian gives an order, the soldiers of Yeyou will respond to every call, we are only a few remnants, how can we match the Yeyou army!"

"Dusk Guoshi, you said this today, but you have long been suspicious of this king?"

I saw the two of them pinching each other, and quickly leaned sideways among them, "Okay, okay, let's not say a few words." ”

"Changyan has endured so far, I really don't know why His Majesty agreed to allow King Xian to accompany him, this is obviously Yeyou's ulterior motives!" Twilight Changyan finally said his thoughts, and he was afraid that he would have seen Lei Nian unpleasantly along the way.

Lei Nian sneered and asked: "As a courtier, you dare to question Empress Xuanhu's decision, don't you have the intention of rebellion?" ”

Twilight Changyan pointed his fingers thunderously, and said angrily: "You spew blood, how vicious your intentions are!" ”

Lei Nian glanced at Twilight Changyan, "You have not fulfilled your responsibilities as a minister in the past ten years, but Your Majesty has already formed a brother-sister friendship with this king in the night, do you also want to talk to you, do you want to allow it?" ”

"You two shut up!" I can't wait for someone to give them a slap in the face, "Twilight Changyan, you shut up, the entourage of King Xian is not the purpose you think." King Xian, you also shut up, the twilight Changyan is the national teacher appointed by my first emperor Xuancang, and his loyalty can be seen by the sun and the moon, and you can't be provoked. The two of you are not allowed to quarrel in the future, if you have any questions, just come and ask me, don't hold it in your heart and raise any more heart problems. ”

These two people were taught a lesson by me, and they were silent.

But Twilight Changyan was still worried, and he asked again: "Your Majesty, King Xian said that he has a brother-sister relationship with you, but is it true?" ”

"No, I don't like to worship big brother everywhere." I said dismissively.

"Then Your Majesty, he ......"

I was also stunned when I saw Lei Nian, and this atmosphere was too serious, so I laughed, "Brother Changyan, this virtuous king just loves me, and he doesn't dare to let me know, so he told you that he and I are brother and sister." ”

"What......" Twilight Changyan looked at Lei Nian dumbly, and Lei Nian's expression was also indescribably wonderful.

This explanation may be easier for Twilight Changyan to understand, he put away his emotions and whispered, "I think that King Duan is very concerned about His Majesty, but I didn't expect that King Xian also has selfish intentions for Your Majesty. ”

Lei Nian had to smile bitterly and suffer this dumb loss, I don't have anything to worry about not going, anyway, it is true that Lei Nian loves Xuanhu, I also occupy Xuanhu's body, strictly speaking, I am not lying.

As long as many things involve the relationship between men and women, and what doesn't make sense, can be explained. Twilight Changyan was no longer entangled, but Lei Nian was reluctant to let me leave, and insisted on sending me back to Lingmu Valley with a cheeky face. And Lei Nian didn't argue, he was a smart man, since this matter could make Twilight Changyan no longer have doubts, it would not hurt Lei Nian.

I then pushed the boat down the river and continued: "Brother Changyan, you see, King Xian will never let me fall into danger, he proposed to go to the Yan family for help, I am afraid that he also thinks that this is the only way to go through at the moment. ”

"Your Majesty has misunderstood." Lei Nian didn't cooperate with me at this time, and looked at me with a very connotative smile, "There is another way, which must be unimpeded, which can not only solve the urgent need, but also will not let Your Majesty get into danger." ”

I glared at him fiercely, "Then you don't want to say it quickly!" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you have forgotten my brother who is under one person in the Night Palace, right?"

This guy is simply, if I cheat him once, he will embarrass me in turn. Twilight Changyan looked at me, waiting for my answer, I waved my hand at Twilight Changyan, "No, we already owe Duanwang a debt this time, and we can't go to him to borrow it again." ”

"In this way, there is only one way to leave the nearest young master." Lei Nian's words were very smooth, and his expression was also a matter of course for him who knew that I would say this.

I discussed it with Twilight again, and Twilight said that he would take a team of soldiers to negotiate with Yanyu again. Lei Nian said: "Your Majesty is sincere when you go." ”

Twilight Changyan always felt that there would be danger, but I thought Lei Nian's words still made sense.

I tried to convince Twilight Changyan, and in the end, he expressed his worries: "Your Majesty, that Yan Yu is not only the young master of the Yan family, but also known as the folk god of war, I am only afraid that Your Majesty will see him in person, if he is unfavorable to Your Majesty, we are afraid that it will be difficult for several generals to win even if they work together." ”

And this kind of thing? No wonder Twilight Changyan has to think about it for so long. I was about to think about it again, but Lei Nian said, "I don't know who is better than this king in terms of the skills of the Twilight Country, as I have seen?" ”

Yes! Lei Nian is sixteen years old and is a young general in the night, and that force should be extraordinary! But I looked him up and down, his complexion was pale and sickly, and his cheeks were thin and looked a little pitiful because of his perennial pain.

Twilight Changyan's worries were the same as mine, and he put it mildly, "If King Xian wasn't injured ten years ago, he should be better now." ”

"Haha!" Lei Nian laughed loudly, "The strength is the inferior method of warfare, and the strength of this king will definitely be invincible to him, but if he really makes a move, it is not just brute force." ”

Seeing that Lei Nian was so sure, I still increased my confidence a little, and nodded to Twilight Changyan, I think I can give it a try when I go to Yanyu's house.

But as soon as I made up my decision with Twilight Changyan, the Virtuous King Lei Nian suddenly coughed, and the cough was out of breath, and the confidence that I had built up with great difficulty almost immediately collapsed.

"Can you do it?" I swear I really don't mean to despise Lei Nian.

Lei Nian coughed and gave me a blank look. Well, men can't say no, you can do it, I'm optimistic about you.
