Chapter 348: The Dead Are Gone (3)

The funeral ceremony has been completed, Nie Xingji has been buried in the ground, and everyone plans to settle down on Cangshan for one night before leaving for Yan Kingdom. The eldest princess opened her mouth and asked Wei Nong: "Yan Lan, do you want to return to Yan Country with us?" ”

"Yes," Wei Nong nodded without hesitation, "I'm going back." ”

The eldest princess didn't ask much, and she knew what she was thinking, so she nodded and said, "It's okay, you go back with us, and we will discuss carefully on the way." ”

King Jiang invited him at the right time: "It's dark, the eldest princess and the county lord should go up the mountain for dinner, but the time is in a hurry, the conditions are limited, and the mountain is extremely poorly arranged, so I have to ask all the distinguished guests to be wronged for one night." ”

No matter what King Jiang thinks in his heart, at least now he can't find anything wrong with his face. Everyone also knew in their hearts that with Nie Xingji's death, Yan Ning's battle situation would change, and Yan Guo's strength would also be greatly reduced. Under such circumstances, Jiang Guo did not immediately see the wind and rudder, but he could still treat Yan Guo with such courtesy, which is extremely rare.

So everyone was extremely polite, chatting while going up the mountain, and the sorrow caused by Nie Xingji's death seemed to be a little lighter. The eldest princess, Ji Fengzhi, Jiang Wang and Wei Nong walked at the forefront, all hiking and mountaineering, and also talked about the current situation and the relationship between Yan Jiang in the future.

King Jiang made it clear that he would join forces with Yan Guo and fight against Ning together. Although the eldest princess didn't dare to believe it in her heart, she felt a lot more comforted at the moment. Everyone had a dinner together, all of which were local flavors of Jiang Country, because today was tired for a day, the eldest princess was old and picky, and she felt tired in the middle of the banquet, so she barely carried it until the end and rested early.

When she rested, everyone was afraid of disturbing her rest, and they didn't dare to move around, so they had to enter the account early. The cold air of Cangshan in winter hits, only to hear the night wind rustling, and everything is silent.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night. Wei Nong woke up suddenly, put on his clothes and went out to check, and saw several guards escorting a soldier wearing Yan Jun armor, walking towards King Jiang's residence.

"Wait," Wei Nong immediately stopped and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Someone pretended to be Yan Jun and broke into Cangshan at night, saying that he wanted to see the county lord of Yanlan." The guards replied.

"I am," Wei Nong looked at the escorted Yan Jun, "which battalion are you from?" What's the matter with me? ”

"The small one is a scout under the seat of the Marquis of Zhenguo, with a token as proof, and he was ordered by the Marquis to send you a letter."

"What letter?"

"King Ning wants to see you."

"See me?"

"King Ning said that there is something important to talk to you, and in order to show sincerity, the truce will continue during the meeting."

*****

A month later, Wei Nong was accompanied by Ji Feng and arrived at Ning Wang's Palace. Because of this sudden incident, King Ning made it clear that the truce would continue, and Wei Nong had to temporarily adjust the plan, allowing Ming Chenyuan to secretly return to Yan Kingdom to get in touch with Nie Xingji's cronies, and stabilize the government with the eldest princess. But it is still claimed to the outside world that Ming Chenyuan will continue to sit in Youzhou.

Wei Nong didn't want Ji Fengzhi to accompany her to Ningguo, but the latter insisted that he came for Qi Zhan and hoped to collect his relics and send them back to Momen, so she didn't object.

The master and apprentice walked to King Ning's holy study together, but unexpectedly saw a person outside the door of the side hall, dressed in white, standing with his hands in his hands. At the beginning of the lunar month, it was already extremely cold in Lidu, but he was still thinly clothed, motionless, standing like a lifeless stone statue, and he didn't know who he was waiting for.

Wei Nong saw Yunchen from a distance, and the taste in his heart surged, but his footsteps did not stop for a moment, and there was no reaction on his face. When she walked to the corridor in front of the door of the holy study, there was already a eunuch here to greet her, and she walked past Yunchen without looking, as if the other party was really just a stranger, and she didn't know him.

Ji Fengzhi glanced at the slightly thick reaction, and then silently turned his head to look at Yunchen. The latter's face was pale, and became even paler as Wei Nong passed him, and his lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something. But, after all, nothing was said.

On the contrary, Ji Fengzhi took the initiative to call him: "Lord Yun." ”

Yunchen came back to his senses at this time, and silently saluted Ji Feng without saying a word.

In this room, the eunuch was talking to Wei Nong: "The county lord has come from afar, he has worked hard all the way, please change his clothes and drink a cup of hot tea, the king is already waiting for you in the holy study." ”

"No need, just go inside." Wei Nong's tone was cold, and he took off the fox fur and handed it to the eunuch, then turned around and summoned Ji Fengzhi: "Master, let's go." ”

Before Ji Fengzhi could answer, the eunuch had already preemptively said: "Lord Yanlan forgives me, and the king said that he wants to see you alone." ”

Wei Nong suddenly became vigilant and resolutely stated: "Mr. Ji is famous all over the rivers and lakes, not only the teacher of this palace, but also the military advisor of my Dayan. If you want to discuss state affairs, why should you leave him? ”

The eunuch immediately explained: "You misunderstood, the king didn't see Mr. Ji, but he wanted to see him alone." He gestured with his hand: "You two are coming alone." ”

Wei Nong glanced at him coldly: "My father-in-law seems to have said the wrong thing, Yanning and Ningning are of equal status, how can I say 'audience'?" This palace is sympathetic to your old age, and I am afraid that he will not be in good health, so I took the initiative to come. This is the courtesy of this palace, but it is not the handle of your Ning Guo to play prestige! ”

The eunuch didn't expect the little county lord to speak so strongly, and he couldn't get off the stage for a while, and he lost Ning Guo's face by making amends, so he didn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Wei Nong once again made a strong statement: "Since my father-in-law doesn't think that he is wrong, then the palace has no choice but to refuse to negotiate, otherwise it will become what you call an 'audience'." This trip to King Ning's Palace, Pingbai is a little shorter, how to see people when he returns to the Yanguo Sect Palace? ”

Wei Nong spoke in a loud voice, deliberately wanting King Ning in the main hall to hear. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking this time, an old eunuch she looked familiar with ran out and asked about the situation.

Wei Nong pretended to be arrogant, and roughly recounted the matter of Fang Cai, the old eunuch was very happy, and immediately apologized to Wei Nong, he took all the mistakes on himself, and did not mention King Ning: "It's all the old slaves who are not strict, and the people under them say the wrong thing, so they will make amends to the county lord." ”

"Oh? How does this palace know that this is not what your king meant? "It's so thick that it's unforgiving.

The old eunuch was silent for a moment, and did not express his position for King Ning, but only said euphemistically: "With the king's current mood, does the county lord think the king will still be like this?" ”

The ginger is still old and spicy, and it is slightly thick and cannot be refuted. The old eunuch stretched out his hand to Wei Nong and asked: "The county lord, please, the king and His Royal Highness the prince are waiting for you in the study." ”

The Son? Yuan Che? Wei Nong didn't care about asking any more, turned around and said to Ji Fengzhi, "Master, be careful", and wanted to lift the skirt and walk into the main hall.

Unexpectedly, the old eunuch blocked in front of her, and said with a smile: "The county lord forgives me, please hand over your weapons." ”

Wei Nong neatly took out two Emei thorns from his sleeve, but did not hand them over to the eunuch, but handed them to Ji Fengzhi. When the old eunuch saw this pair of weapons, his eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything more.

Wei Nong then asked defiantly: "What?" Does my father-in-law still have to be searched? ”

"Where the responsibility lies, please bear with me." The old eunuch made a look, and the two maids in the side hall stepped forward together and searched Wei Nong's body carefully. When the search was over, the old eunuch made a "please" gesture again, and walked into the main hall without squinting or saying a word.

The old eunuch followed behind her, the etiquette was quite thorough, and he smiled at Ji Feng and said, "Mr. Ji wait for a while, when the county lord comes out, the king will send you into the palace alone for a secret talk." ”

Ji Fengzhi was old and had no intention of arguing for words, so he nodded slightly: "There is labor." ”

The old eunuch also bowed in return, and was about to turn around and go in, but his eyes swept a piece of white clothes outside, so he walked out of the side hall quickly, stretched out his head and asked suspiciously: "Huh? Why hasn't Lord Yun left yet? ”

Obviously, Yunchen had already met King Ning. In fact, he had just heard the whole process of being slightly annoyed, but he didn't say anything, and at this time he only smiled lightly, faint to the point of no trace: "I'm thinking about something here." ”

"It's cold outside, Lord Yun can go to the side hall and sit." The old eunuch didn't bother to say more, turned around and entered the main hall.

Yunchen still stood still, and the person seemed to be in an extremely trance. At this time, Dan saw Ji Fengzhi walking out of the side hall and said to him, "Lord Yun, I want to talk to you." ”

*****

Inside the main hall of the Holy Study.

Wei Nong walked straight in, and before he saw King Ning on the throne, he first saw Yuan Che. He knelt on the ground, his figure thin, and he wore an extremely simple and thin robe, and only one back could highlight the embarrassment.

Wei Nong took two more steps forward, and then looked up at the top of the Danqi, King Ning was sitting weakly, and the noon sunlight was straight in, shining on his old face and tired look, white hair, wrinkles, and sickness had nowhere to hide, and every bit of it appeared.

It had been a full seventy days since Nie Xingji's death, and after finding out that the culprits were Yunchen and Jian Feng, Wei Nong's hatred for Yuan Che had gradually cooled. At this moment, she didn't know what kind of mood she was in, she hated, angry, and disappointed Yuan Che, but more hated iron and steel, and hated his narrow-mindedness and impulsiveness.

It took all her strength to restrain herself from scolding Yuan Che, not using her hands, or even looking at him again.

But King Ning gave her a chance, took the lead in speaking, and said weakly: "Lord Yanlan, Yuan Che will be handed over to you today!" ”

Is this a trick to retreat? Slightly puzzled: "What is 'disposal'?" ”

"Kill or chop, whatever you want." King Ning spoke.

Only then did Wei Nong glance at Yuan Che beside him. The latter knelt lifelessly, his head bowed, his face buried in his loose hair, and he could not see any expression at all. He didn't dare to look up at Weinong, or rather, he didn't have the face to look.

(cough~ I explain a few things: 1 I never thought of writing him on the opposite side of Yunchen, and I won't substitute myself as the heroine, I will substitute myself into whoever I write.) It's just that the heroine has a position. From the beginning, Yunchen's character was a dead country, and everything he was destined to do was this way, not that I imposed it on him with hatred. I also just wrote what I thought was the most reasonable way for Yunchen, Yunchen had no troops and no country, it was normal to win by strategic means, and Nie Xingji also pulled Nie Xingyi down in this way when he was not in power. On the contrary, I think this is a reflection of Yunchen's resourcefulness, and the few encounters between him and Nie Xingji, it is obvious that he is more strategic than Nie Xingji, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, it is a conspiracy anyway.

2 His subordinates strongly oppose him and Wei Nong being together, although it is too much from the perspective of the feelings of the male and female protagonists, but the people who have returned to the country can't accept the people of Yan Guo, and they are afraid that Yunchen will indulge in feelings and make acts to stop them, which is reasonable. They also accomplished a lot of things, such as getting half of the anti-layout map, finding the treasure, using Yuan Che to kill Qi Zhan and Nie Xingji, and successfully alienating Wei Nong and Yun Chen...... It's not that nothing, and it's also competent as a subordinate.

3 Some people think that I am partial to Nie Xingji's subordinates, it should be a misunderstanding, Wang Tuo's character set me up to set off Yuan Che; And Ming Chenyuan's character design is mainly to echo the story of "Shen Luan", but he is also the ancestor of Chenxuan, so he can't be an unbearable person, right? It's not like I'm biased.

4. There is no right or wrong in political struggles, and there is no need to find out who is right and who is wrong in the four countries!

5 Yunchen didn't give up Jiangshan and the beauty in the end, don't worry about him in a hurry!

6 It was written in "Shen Luan" and "Concubine's Heart" that the founding emperor was Yuan Che. )
