The Queen Mother's tent was as calm as ever. Shu Yu Shirt

The Queen Mother sat on the low couch, and she said to the man in black in the shadows: "You must have heard the rumors, that woman has been spoiled, and her heart can no longer allow others to spy on her lover." When a person tastes the sweetness of a sole pet, she is reluctant to share it with others. ”

"It's strange, why did she make such a stupid move, wasn't she afraid that if she continued to make such a fuss, she would push the man into the arms of others?" said the man in black quietly.

"A woman's jealousy is a wildfire that burns secretly on the prairie and is capable of destroying a world. The Queen Mother said calmly: "She is not stupid at all, on the contrary, she is the smartest woman I have ever met, and she knows how to use all the power at her disposal to protect herself and seek the greatest benefit for herself." At the end of the day, she's a businessman. ”

"I've heard that the Wushuang people are constantly gathering troops on the border, and the troops are coming from the south in a steady stream, and in this situation, if Wu Yangguo dares to do harm to this unequaled queen, it may evolve into a pretext for war. The regent named Duanmu Hao had been planning in Qiyang Mountain for a whole decade, but he didn't forget that the people of Wuyang had never been afraid of war. The Queen Mother looked meaningfully at the man in black in the corner, the man in the shadow had no emotion, he was just a shadow.

"No one really likes war, we are all the same, respected Queen Mother. This world has been peaceful for too long, and the Tang Ming people are not ready to move, but if we can sit down and talk, perhaps, peace can continue to be maintained, after all, war will make us all lose a lot of things, such as people, such as land, and maybe even rights. ”

"You've been here for so long, and you can finally tell what you meant. The Queen Mother seemed to be very satisfied with the other party's answer.

"My master just asked me to visit the Queen Mother, this is what I came for. The man in black's answer was once again unexpected.

The Queen Mother nodded, sighed and said: "I understand, what he means is that now is not the time to sit down and talk, we will have the opportunity to sit together, but at that time, to talk or not, the initiative may not be in his hands." ”

"The Queen Mother is a smart person. The man in black bowed slightly, bent down and stroked his chest, using the etiquette of Wuyang people to express his respect.

"Wait a minute. The Queen Mother called the man in black majestically, "I have another question I want to ask you." ”

"The Queen Mother, please say that what the wind on the grassland knows, we can also know, and the wind shadow must be honest. ”

"You must know what happened to this peerless queen before she came to Wuyang. Tell me about her, especially her relationship with the Regent, and I'd love to hear it. ”

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Yes!"

Xiao Xuanchen silently flipped through the recitals in his own tent, and the rolls of parchment around him recorded all kinds of complicated affairs, which gave him a headache.

He suddenly threw away a roll of parchment in his hand, and glanced at the ghost who was kneeling on the ground in silence, and had been on his knees for half an hour since he had entered. Xiao Xuanchen frowned and looked at him, and asked coldly, "The people from the south are here, why didn't I know anything about it before?"

"It was invited by the queen's people, and it is said that it was a doctor who treated the queen. ”

"Jiang Yutang. Xiao Xuanchen intercepted: "I am more familiar with this person than you." I'm just wondering, who can cross the border and invite a peerless doctor in Wuyang without my permission?"

Ghost Buli suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he hung his head vigorously, not knowing how to answer at all.

Xiao Xuanchen sighed and waved his hand to signal him to go out first.

"Don't leave, keep an eye on me. A deep voice sounded behind the ghost, full of the majesty of the king.

Ghost Buli finally understood that the man was still the master of Wuyang Kingdom after all, and he responded respectfully: "Yes!

Xiao Xuanchen was the only one left in the tent, he quietly stared at the vast sky outside, all his emotions were precipitated in his black eyes, and his deep and restrained gaze ran wildly along the endless sky. Ghost Buli hurriedly glanced at the man one last time before leaving the tent, and he noticed that the direction of the lord of the kingdom happened to be the direction of the queen's tent, and this direction extended further afield, which was exactly the direction where the Musou Kingdom was.

For a while, it was difficult to judge that this man who held the greatest power in the country, was thinking of the woman or the neighboring country who was eyeing the tiger?

With the sun setting in the west, such a warm autumn afternoon is the best time to drink tea.

There was a smokeless small charcoal stove burning in the tent, the tea pot on the stove was white mist, the aroma was pleasant, Ye Luyan stretched out her plain white fingers and held a small spoon to rotate back and forth in the pot, and the pot was boiling fragrant milk tea. She picked up the teacup and filled a bowl and respectfully handed it to the Queen Mother.

"The taste is so strong, I thought that the youngest daughter of the Yelu family was just a heroine who liked to ride horses and shoot arrows, and it turned out to be a virtuous woman who could boil milk tea. The Queen Mother tasted it and praised it with a smile.

Ye Luyan lowered her head and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother has won the award, Ye Luyan is a clumsy girl." ”

"Yeluxiong is blessed to have a daughter like you! The son of the family may not be as good as you! The future of the Yelu family depends entirely on you, General Yeluyan. The last sentence of the Queen Mother accentuated her tone, and the afterglow swept on Ye Luyan's face intentionally or unintentionally.

Ye Luyan did not have a sense of flattered humility, nor did she show a sense of arrogance, the corners of her mouth only showed a smile, bold and confident, her eyes were calm, even if she met the eyes of the Queen Mother, there was no intention of retreating.

"How can Yeluyan have such ability? This position of general is not a grace bestowed on the Yelu family by the lord of the country, and it has nothing to do with me. Yeluyan replied in a calm tone.

"The gift of the lord of the country! You are so right, in Wuyang Kingdom, whether it is the royal family or the nobility, whoever can get the favor of the lord of the country will have power and everything. The Queen Mother paused, her sharp eyes swept over Ye Luyan's face, and she sighed and said, "I think it's a pity about your aunt's matter." I have no intention of accusing the lord of the kingdom, but is it a bit hasty to judge a noble woman on the basis of a slave's confession?

Ye Luyan was silent, and a hint of fierceness flashed faintly in her eyes, all of which did not escape the Queen Mother's sharp eyes. The Queen Mother calmly stretched out her fingers and stroked the smooth skin on Ye Luyan's face, and there were still clear finger marks on her right cheek, and the slap was really not light.

The Queen Mother said with slight pity: "That woman is also too arrogant, how can she slap you in the face like a slave in a lesson? What is your fault, the lord of the country can condemn the crime, and the father can reprimand, when will it be her turn?"

In Wuyang Kingdom, you can only slap your face when you teach slaves, even if you treat civilians, slapping your face is a very serious insult.

Yeluyan's face flushed, and she lowered her head silently, but her originally calm chest was rising and falling sharply.

The Queen Mother pretended to be unintentional, and asked, "What did that woman say to you when she left?"

Ye Luyan didn't seem to like the extension of this topic, got up and took the tea bowl in front of the Queen Mother, and said, "Queen Mother, your tea is cold, I'll add some more to you." ”

After serving the tea, Yeluyan pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly: "She said that as long as she is the queen, no matter whether I can enter the royal family or not, I can only bend down in front of her forever." ”

The tent fell silent for a moment, and the queen mother's hand holding the tea bowl stayed on her lips, she suddenly put down the teacup heavily, her face was angry, and she said majestically: "She is too arrogant! Don't forget, this is in the land of Wuyang, no matter when, it is not the turn of a woman of a different race to give orders." The lord of the kingdom is completely stunned by her, it's time for the lord to sober up, he must recognize the true face of this woman, what do you say?"

Yeluyan took a deep breath, stood up, touched her chest with her right hand, and bent down deeply. It is a gesture of surrender. The Queen Mother looked at her with great satisfaction, and then said: "According to the rules set by the Wanyan family and the Yelu family, this queen originally belonged to you, and you just deserved the honor you deserved there, no matter what you do, it is not too much." ”

"Yes!" The fierce look was completely released in Ye Luyan's eyes, and he did not hide it.

The Queen Mother clapped her hands gently, and Dolma walked in.

"Did that spy do it?"

Zhuoma whispered a few words in the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother changed color slightly, and scolded: "Nati is becoming more and more useless, that man looks so soft that he hasn't even grown bones, and he can't even ask for a complete confession!"

Ye Luyan raised her eyebrows, and said with a quiet smile: "Queen Mother, maybe you can let me try, my father taught me the best punishment for dealing with spies." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay then, Zhuoma, you take General Yelu over to have a look." ”

The nobles had their own secret prisons, which were set up underground, and there was always darkness in them. In order to deal with disobedient slaves, there was also a torture chamber in the dungeon, and at this time, Yeluyan stood in the center of the torture chamber.

It is a square stone chamber, because it is far from the ground, giving people a claustrophobic and oppressive feeling, and there are thick torches placed in the four corners, which are burning with beeps, and the light is dim, but it is enough to see everything in the room. On three walls hung all sorts of strange iron torture instruments, with dark black blood coagulated on them, and on the opposite wall hung a young man with iron chains, his body looked thin and weak, his arms were forcefully pulled apart and shackled to the wall, his blue clothes had become tattered and stained with blood, and his whole body was already a blur of flesh and blood, and Nati's whip must have made him suffer.
