Nie Xingji still went to Youzhou after all, only because his last sentence persuaded Wei Nong. He and Ming Chenyuan discussed for a long time, and finally decided to act separately, one went to the front line, and the other sat in Cangshan, after all, there are still 100,000 troops in Cangshan, if there is no one to command strongly, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

Wei Nong naturally followed Nie Xingji, and Ji Fengzhi chose to stay in Cangshan, which is also what Wei Nong meant, she was reluctant to let her master work again.

The army went down the mountain in a mighty way, drove straight into Youzhou, and arrived eighty miles outside Youzhou Mansion, Nie Xingji ordered the army to be stationed on the spot, and sent a war letter to the Ning army, agreeing to fight on July 71 in early July.

If it were another battle, he would have launched a surprise attack and killed the opponent by surprise. However, Youzhou Mansion is not like other places, it is the capital of the city, and it is also the place where the assassin and the Ning army are located.

If it is a surprise attack, it will not be possible to wipe out the Ning army at all, and even if it wins in the end, it will cause dissatisfaction and endless troubles.

Rather than this, it is better to fight generously, win to convince the other party, and accept the surrender openly.

On the night of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Nie Xingji and several generals were still talking all night to discuss the battle plan. Although the anti-layout left by Queen Jiang made him taste the sweetness, he still didn't dare to take it lightly, especially when he was about to face Yuan Che and Yunchen, he didn't want Wei Nong to look down on him.

At the end of the day, Wei Nong went to the outside of the main tent to take a look, and could faintly hear the sound of talking from inside, which seemed to be extremely excited.

Wei Nong didn't say a word, walked outside the main tent, and said to the guards: "I have something urgent to see Your Highness." "When the guards saw that it was the Lord of Yanlan, they naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went in to report it.

As soon as Nie Xingji heard it, he knew that Wei Nong was urging him to rest in disguise, so he had to say a few more words to the generals and dispersed in a hurry.

When the generals came out, Wei Nong stood at the door of the main tent, and several people saluted her, and Wei Nong also returned the salute, and then opened the curtain and walked in.

Nie Xingji didn't wait for her to speak, he had already taken the initiative to admit his mistake and had a good attitude: "It's me who forgot the time, don't be angry." "When people who don't know the inside story see this scene, they all think that the lord of Yanlan County has eaten the regent to death, and her anger can make the regent extremely nervous and lower his body; Only those who have seen through the door know that it was actually the Lord of Yanlan who was eaten to death by the Regent, and now he can accurately grasp the mind of the County Lord, guess when she is happy, when she is angry, and know how to use words to ease her anger.

Sure enough, Wei Nong saw that Nie Xingji took the initiative to admit her mistake, and her anger had already dissipated halfway, she took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve, poured out another pill from it, and handed it to the other party: "Eat it." Nie Xingji didn't even ask, and just pinched it and put it in his mouth.

In the past three months, Weijing has refined many pills, some of which strengthen the body, some that refresh the mind, some that promote wound healing, and some that curb the development of toxicity...... He had already taken countless kinds of pills with various effects, some of which were useful and some of which were useless, but they were all to make her feel at ease.

"Is there any news on Lian Yong's whereabouts?" Wei Nong asked casually.

"There is," Nie Xingji's tone was calm,

"He currently lives in Yunchen Mansion." And so it was. Wei Nong's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face, but asked with a smile: "Do you have a chance of winning tomorrow's battle?" ”

"At least seventy percent." Now that the time is finally ripe, Nie Xingji did not hide it, and told the truth about the other half of the anti-layout map.

After hearing this, Wei Nong naturally became suspicious: "Could this be a trap?" ”

"At least I have sent someone to investigate the terrain of Youzhou, and there is no problem." Nie Xingji said with a smile: "On this expedition, I was able to win most of Youzhou within two months, thanks to this map." ”

"You have a picture, and Yunchen also has a picture, I'm afraid that he will rebel against the army." Wei Nong was quite worried.

"Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with him." Nie Xingchen frowned lightly when he saw her, and said, "It's okay to lose, didn't I say it?" It's a big deal that I will return the land to him, and he will definitely give me the moonfall. "If there is any good change after Nie Xingji's poisoning, this is about the only point - his heart of gain and loss is not so heavy, and he is not as tough and competitive as before.

But as the king of a country, whether this change is good or bad is uncertain. Seeing that her expression was still solemn, Nie Xingji smiled again: "Don't worry, this time it's Yuan Che who leads the army, and I don't care about that hairy boy." If my guess is correct, he and Yunchen will never have a heart-to-heart, which is a good thing for us. He groaned for a moment, and finally reminded him: "Don't underestimate Yuan Che, he has a lot of ideas." ”

"Hearing what Wang Tuo said, I know it in my heart." Nie Xingchen tapped his index finger on the table and asked rhetorically, "Do you know why King Ning changed his mind and wanted to send Yuan Che to lead the troops?" Wei Nong shook his head: "Why?" ”

"A few days ago, he accepted a side concubine, the youngest daughter of the new commander of the Gyeonggi Defense Division, and it was probably the commander who helped to speak." Yuan Che took a concubine?

Wei Nong was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, he was already in his twenties, and this move was reasonable.

Somehow, she suddenly remembered the parting between the two three years ago on the bank of the Maoyan River, when she had said that if he married a wife, she would definitely arrive to drink a glass of wine no matter where he was.

But in the blink of an eye, each other has had to go down the road of hostility. Wei Nong's heart was a little depressed, but he couldn't help but ask: "If everything goes well tomorrow, Yunchen and Yuan Che ...... What are you going to do about it? ”

"I remember promising you that I wouldn't kill Yuan Che. But I will also avenge Wang Tuo's revenge, and I will make him pay the price. Nie Xingji told him frankly.

Wei Nong wanted to say something for Yuan Che, but when she thought of Wang Tuo's death, she felt so powerless, and finally had to tell him again: "After all, he is the Ning royal family, even if you deal with it, you have to pay attention to proportion, don't humiliate him too much." Nie Xingji nodded: "As for Yunchen......" He stared at Wei Nong intently, wanting to see how she reacted, so he deliberately paused slightly.

The slightly thick long eyelashes flashed lightly, and he quietly raised his eyes to look at him, but he didn't even say a word of protection, as if he was waiting for him to take the initiative to say it.

Nie Xingji raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, and his tone was soft: "We have been stumbling for the Chu State for too long, don't worry, no matter whether this time is success or failure, no matter whether he gives me an antidote or not, I will not kill him." Weinong lowered his head and pursed his lips silently.

Nie Xingji smiled self-deprecatingly again: "I don't know if if I lose, will they let me go." ”

"You won't lose." Wei Min looked at him with a firm expression, and said slowly and calmly: "You will never be defeated, because I am here." Hearing this, Nie Xingji's heart softened into a pool of water, and he couldn't help but want to hug her into his arms.

Wei Nong took a step back and dodged it, turned to the table, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of water, and handed Nie Xingji a cup: "If you have to order troops early tomorrow morning, I won't bother you much, you can rest early...... Be careful. Nie Xingji took the teacup and couldn't help but smile: "With your words, I can't let myself have an accident." Wei Nong smiled faintly when she heard this, very faint, but it seemed that some strong color was about to overflow from it, and she raised her glass to Nie Xingji: "Replace wine with water, and win the flag." ”

With a crisp sound of "pop", the two white-glazed teacups gently collided together, just like two hearts that had gradually drifted apart, finally pulled back by the hand of fate and gradually approached.

Wei Nong lowered his eyes and looked at the clear water in his hand, and was about to drink it up on his back, but was blocked by Nie Xingji. Before Wei Nong could react, he saw that he had passed the hand holding the cup through the crook of her right arm and formed a posture with her.

After all, he was still a little afraid that she would be angry, so he asked in a low voice, "Is it okay?" Wei Nong looked at the intersecting arms of the two, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't react.

Seeing that she didn't resist immediately, Nie Xingchen was overjoyed, and he felt sad while stealing joy. Even if he is confident about tomorrow's battle, but this body is not as good as before, and no one can guarantee that he will come back safe and sound tomorrow.

If he had been injured, the wound would have been difficult to heal in his current physical condition...... Thinking in his heart, he only felt that his right arm moved slightly, and Wei Nong had already raised his head and drank the glass of water, which was very generous, without any explanation or disgust.

Nie Xingchen was so excited that he couldn't help blurting out to her: "Wei Nong ......" Wei Nong looked at him with his eyes, and said seriously word by word: "After drinking this toast, you have to remember that you can't go your own way in the future." Nie Xingji only felt that his hand holding the cup was trembling, and immediately nodded and agreed, and drank a cup of water cleanly.

until

After drinking a glass of wine, he seemed to be a little incredulous, and then regretted it: "A glass of wine should be drunk by two people at the same time, why did you drink it first." Wei Min pursed his lips, unable to see a smile: "Sorry, I don't know." ”

"It's okay, you will remember it when you get married." Nie Xingji smiled brightly. Wei Nong also pulled the corners of his lips with him.

He must have forgotten that she had already put on two wedding dresses and practiced two court wedding etiquettes, so how could she not know that a glass of wine should be drunk at the same time?

Or maybe he actually knew that he was deliberately cooperating with her to pretend to be stupid. But everything is no longer important, the most important thing is that he must live unscathed, for Yan Guo, for himself, and for her.

A sound of "bang" came at the right time, and she watched Nie Xingji shake a few times in front of her eyes, and her feet gradually became unstable.

She finally smiled again and reached out to support him: "You're too tired, take a good rest." Nie Xingji was incredulous, his eyes wide and he tried to see the faint expression, but the increasingly blurred vision and more and more drowsy mind made him unable to even stand on his feet.

He had no choice but to take two steps, propped up the table with his hand, and asked with difficulty, "What are you going to do?" Wei Nong didn't answer, just gently closed his eyes for him, and whispered in his ear like a whisper: "I said, with me, you won't be defeated." When Wei Nong walked out of the main tent, she smiled and instructed a few guards: "Your Highness is too tired, you need to rest for an hour, and then go and wake him up at the end of the day." The guards did not suspect him, and they all received the order respectfully.
