Bailijiu was irritable in his heart, and seeing that she was still uninteresting, a nameless fire suddenly rose, and he raised his hand and coldly removed her hand: "Don't make trouble." ”

An Ping was not angry, covered his lips and snickered: "I know, it was you who gave in and they kidnapped me, you had planned it a long time ago, right?" ”

Bailijiu raised his head and glanced at her: "Not bad." ”

"I knew you weren't going to sit idly by and let me marry someone else, would you? You've always hurt Ah Xun the most. ”

Bailijiu stood up "poofed": "You think too much, I'm busy." ”

"I know."

Bailijiu turned around and left, An Ping playfully blocked in front of him, stretching out his arm to intercept the way.

He was about to have a seizure, when there were hurried footsteps outside the tent, and then he whispered: "Ninth Master? ”

An Ping pouted and moved out of the way, and Bailijiu said coldly: "Come in." ”

As soon as the tent was lifted, a man in black flashed in, glanced at An Ping in front of him, and hesitated. It was the Killer Pavilion killer he sent out to investigate the nearby terrain and news.

"What's wrong? Is there any news? Baili Jiu asked in a deep voice.

The man lowered his voice: "Shicai intercepted a flying pigeon biography against the army. ”

Bailijiu stretched out his hand, and the man handed a thin bamboo tube held in his palm into his hand, and secretly glanced in the direction of Anping.

Baili Jiuzheng was distraught and had no time to think carefully, so he took out the letter from the bamboo tube, which was a white silk with the thickness of a thumb, as thin as a cicada's wings. Carefully unfolded it, not only frowned, but also understood why the man's expression was strange.

There was only one line of small words on the white silk: "The 30,000 troops of the Marquis of Zhenyuan have invaded Hunan." ”

Invaded Hunan? How could the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Zhenyuan receive the news of the war so quickly? This place is far from Guizhou, even if the flying pigeon spreads the book, his soldiers and horses will definitely not gather so fast. Even if it's to rescue Anping, there's no need to mobilize the crowd like this?

Thinking of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who were the first to arrive at Wuchang Mansion early this morning, the heart of Bailijiu suddenly rose.

An Ping, who was behind him, poked his head curiously: "Brother Jiu, is there any action of the enemy army?" ”

Bailijiu quickly gathered Bai Aya into a ball, tucked it into his cuffs, glanced at An Ping, and said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just a secret letter to ask for help from other state capitals." ”

Then he turned to the man and made a seemingly random gesture: "Tell Yuan Bao the news, let him act expediently, and not be reckless." ”

The man understood, took the command, bowed and retreated.

An Ping Fang just let out a "oh", and was innocent: "Brother Jiu, don't worry, my father has already sent someone to quickly return to Yunnan to transfer troops, even if the army of the imperial court does not come, the anti-army will not succeed." ”

"Really? No wonder you don't seem scared at all, you seem to have a chance to win, I thought you were brave, and you were more calm than me. ”

Bailijiu turned around and looked down at An Ping, a sneer inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then it was fleeting.

An Ping bent his eyebrows and smiled: "With the ninth brother here, I naturally won't be afraid." Besides, I finally don't have to marry that Fan Jinxiang, it's too late for me to be happy. ”

"Since you are so determined to force you to die, why did the Hou Ye insist on marrying you to him in the first place?" Baili Jiu asked puzzled.

"That Fan Jinxiang father and son look like dogs, and they are used to acting, and my father was blinded by him." An Ping pouted, looking aggrieved.

Bailijiu smiled "hehe": "If Chu Qingchen didn't send me to Huguang to congratulate him this time, wouldn't Ah Xun really trust a person and bury a lifetime of happiness?" ”

An Ping smiled proudly: "My father said that if I married that Fan Jinxiang, the ninth brother would definitely come to save me, so I pretended to agree to this marriage and came here with my father, and he really didn't lie to me." ”

Baili Jiu instantly felt that the whole person was not good, and his body was a little stiff, so he pretended to smile easily, and persuaded An Ping: "But this time Brother Jiu is also anxious, and there is no way to protect your safety." Anping, listen to Brother Jiu's words, while the rebels have not yet eased up, hurry up and let someone escort you back to Yunnan, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. ”

An Ping shook his head stubbornly: "No, Brother Jiu, Ah Xun will be with you in life and death, and he will definitely not go by himself." ”

Bailijiu knew for the first time that listening to such affectionate words would be as uncomfortable as eating a fly. He sighed helplessly: "The enemy is outnumbered, it's too dangerous." ”

An Ping smiled mysteriously: "Brother Nine, I know a secret, which will definitely help you turn things around and win a big victory." ”

"Oh? Is it? ”

An Ping nodded firmly, and beckoned to Baili Jiu: "Brother Jiu, you come here with your ears, Ah Xun will tell you." ”

Baili Jiu hesitated for a moment, but took a step back, like avoiding a snake and scorpion beast: "There is no one else here, Ah Xun can just say anything if he has anything." ”

Anping didn't care about his coldness at all, took two steps forward, looked at him and smiled like a spring flower, opened his mouth lightly, lowered his voice, and said word by word: "Brother Jiu, as long as you marry Anping, my father's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will all be at your disposal, okay?" ”

And so it was! Baili Jiu's face suddenly turned cold, it turned out that An Ping had always been in the know, and her innocence and ignorance were just coy.

He looked at Anping's flower-like smile, felt that he no longer disdained a word of emptiness and grievances, and snorted coldly: "Do you also want to rebel?" ”

"Hehe," An Ping smiled innocently and harmlessly: "Brother Jiu's words are really ugly, this is originally the world of my Chu family, what kind of rebellion?" ”

Bailijiu was confirmed by Anping, and he was still incredulous: "I never thought that the Marquis of Zhenyuan would have such ambitions, and you Anping would have such a scheming, acting for the tiger and co-starring in this big show." ”

An Ping looked at him with a little grievance: "Brother Jiu, Ah Xun has no other thoughts, let alone ambitions, I just want to be with you for the rest of my life." My father said, as long as I am the princess of Da Chu and the proud son of heaven admired by all men in the world, you will definitely die for me, and the wealth of the world shared with me is not a hundred times stronger than you being born and dying for that Chu Qingchen? ”

"This is the purpose of your willingness to sell your name, Fan Jinxiang, and then begged me to take you away, so as to provoke an incident between me and the Fan family's father and son?"

No wonder Fan Jinxiang suddenly sent troops to surround the post station and restrict the freedom of his group, I am afraid that they did it behind their backs.

"Those who achieve great things are not informal, doesn't Brother Nine use Ah Xun the same? In other words, Ah Xun is all for the sake of the future of the ninth brother. ”

"Ah Xun is right!"

Behind Baili Jiu, there was a sudden sound of laughter from the Marquis of Zhenyuan, he lifted the tent, lowered his head and walked in, and looked at Baili Jiu with a smile: "As long as I ascend the throne as the emperor, Xiao Jiu, you can rest assured, you will be a general above 10,000 people under my Great Chu, and my Great Chu's concubine, a lifetime of glory and wealth, and great power." ”

Baili Jiu smiled bitterly: "Hou Ye, you are the Hou Ye of Da Chu, sitting in Yunnan, calling for wind and rain, you are already a master, and you can't enjoy the glory for generations, why bother to rebel and embark on this road of no return?" ”

Marquis Zhenyuan snorted disdainfully: "Xiao Jiu, do you know that since the past dynasties, as a prince, most of them have been crowned kings, why am I the Marquis of Zhenyuan?" ”

Baili Jiu was silent, he naturally knew the inside story, and he also mentioned to Nuoya that in Da Chu, who was born in a strict hierarchy, the humble background of Zhenyuan Hou's mother has always been a place of criticism by others.

"Even if I am not noble enough, the Queen Mother despises me, and I am not qualified to be the emperor of Great Chu, so I am also the prince of Great Chu, right? For the sake of the Chu family, he made great contributions, but he only sealed a Zhenyuan marquis. That's all, we don't care.

Today's prince is suspicious and violent, even your father gave birth to Mingzhe to protect himself and retire, and I put up with it, after all, he is the most expensive prince of the Great Chu Dynasty.

However, how much better can he Chu Qingchen's background be than me, the queen mother clearly left a decree before her death, saying that his Chu Qingchen's biological mother must not be a concubine for the rest of her life, but the emperor still went against the sky and deliberately passed the throne to him Chu Qingchen. I'm absolutely not convinced! If he can sit on this throne, Chu Qingchen can sit on it, and I can sit it too! ”

Baili Jiu shook his head: "No, Master Hou, you are very wrong. ”

Marquis Zhenyuan sneered and sneered: "Then you say come and see, I want to know, what reason can you tell." ”

Bailijiu said unhurriedly: "Chu Qingchen was able to sit on the throne, not because the emperor went against the sky, but because the emperor conformed to the will of the people. We have to admit that the second prince has removed the identity of Mrs. Hui, and he is more suitable than anyone else to be the emperor of Great Chu. His prestige among the people, his experience in the past 20 years, and his accumulation have long been ready to go, and as long as he has the opportunity, he can soar to the sky and show his ambitions. This is the luck of the people of Great Chu, and it is also the luck of the Great Chu country! ”

"This is the reason why you are willing to bear the infamy and work for him Chu Qingchen?" Marquis Zhenyuan asked disdainfully.

Baili Jiu shook his head again: "My Baili Mansion only does my best for Da Chu, never for any one person." ”

The Marquis of Zhenyuan bowed his head appreciatively: "So you dare to break into the lake alone and disturb this pool of muddy waters. If you are really a hero, among the young talents of the entire Great Chu, Ben Hou admires you the most, and only you are worthy of being Ben Hou's son-in-law, and only you are worthy of being Ben Hou's opponent. ”

"If I don't come for a hundred miles, how can Master Hou make waves himself? How can there be an excuse to march into Huguang and then move north? ”

Marquis Zhenyuan laughed heartily, very proud: "I have been paying attention to the movements of the Huguang garrison, and I have long been clear about his Fan Shimou's details. If you don't come, I am indeed reluctant to raise troops and use my elite division to fight against the tens of thousands of rebels of his Fan Shimou, and I admit that I do not have an advantage in numbers. And if it can't be attacked for a long time, it will alarm the court, and it will be a competition between the snipe and the clam and the fisherman will benefit. ”
