Chapter 268: The World Remains Quiet
Later built, the Imperial Palace of the Great Liang City.
Although it is already a spring rain in the eastern capital, there is still fine snow flying in the northernmost Houjian, and the entire Daliang City is covered with a thin layer of snow, such as a woman covering light yarn, looming, extremely attractive.
After signing the alliance of Daliang City, the five kings of Houjian all withdrew from Daliang City, and Murong Yan and Wanyan Beiyue father and son have become the new masters of Daliang City.
The Imperial Palace of Daliang City and the Northwest Palace of Xiao Yu are fundamentally built in imitation of the Imperial Palace of the Eastern Capital, and the layout is generally the same, divided into the inner court, and the outer court is dominated by three major halls. The three major halls face north and south, and at this time, there are two people walking side by side on the huge square to the north of the three halls, cloaked in snow.
The older man looked like he was probably not confused, and his body was extremely murderous and majestic, but in his speech, he revealed a bit of cynicism.
He is Murong Yan, the seventh general of Houjian on the Tianji list, born in the Murong clan of the patriotic country, left home alone in his early years to go to Houjian, and laid the foundation of today's business from scratch.
The young man walking beside Murong Yan was naturally the current Emperor of Houjian, Wanyan Beiyue.
Different from the Xiao father and son who turned against each other, the father and son of the Murong family can be regarded as a father and son, Wanyan Beiyue has no father since he was a child, and was scolded as a wild seed, and later met his master Murong Yan, and regarded Murong Yan as a father in his heart, and when the truth was revealed, he did not have much hatred, but had a sense of natural success, and his relationship with Murong Yan became closer. In the final analysis, it is their father and son who are willing to take a step back, so that there can be today's father-son harmony. On the other hand, Xiao Yu and Xiao Lie, no one gave in,-for-tat, and it is reasonable that it has become a big fight now.
The relationship between the Murong family and the Xiao family is entangled, Murong Yan and Xiao Lie are friends and allies with Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu married his most beloved sister Xiao Yue to Wanyan Beiyue, from this point of view, Murong Yan can only choose not to help each other.
Wanyan Beiyue stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake and asked, "Father, who do you think will win?"
Murong Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Yu." ”
Wanyan Beiyue frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"
Murong Yan said softly: "They are all fathers, I know what Xiao Lie is thinking, if Xiao Yu is not angry, it will be fine, but since Xiao Yu has come to this point, he, as a father, has no reason to be a roadblock." ”
Wanyan Beiyue muttered: "In this way, Xiao Lie is going to be Xiao Yu's stepping stone?!"
Jiangnan, Jiangdu.
Two women of different identities got together because of the same man.
In the East Lake Annex, white clothes to white clothes.
There are countless beauties in the world, but if you want to be called a peerless beauty, it is no longer enough to rely on your own appearance, your background, manners, and temperament are indispensable.
Among the previous four beauties, Qin Mumian is the holy daughter of the Demon Sect, Zhang Xueyao is the princess of the country, Murong Xuan is the daughter of the Murong family of the first family, and Lin Yinping is the only daughter of Lin Yuan, the great sweat of the grassland.
Its gas state is also different, Qin Mumian is like a thorny rose, Zhang Xueyao is like a lonely high cold chrysanthemum, Murong Xuan is born with a cold plum, and Lin Yinping is a graceful peony.
The women in the world are naturally not the only ones with these four people, but there are also those who are as elegant as orchids, fresh as pampas and pampas as pampas, as poignant as pear blossoms, and as charming as begonias. And the woman standing in front of Qin Mumian today is as holy as a white lotus.
Qin Mumian, who was ordered by the true person of the Sect to establish the Wenxiang Sect in the land south of the Yangtze River, looked at this Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, and asked playfully: "The Tang family is destroyed by him, you, the eldest lady of the Tang family, shouldn't you not share the sky with him, why are you worried about him!?"
Tang Shengyue lowered her eyes, "Although the Tang family has been destroyed, my father is now fine, and has been promoted to the political envoy of Shuzhou, and my sister is also serving in the secret guard, where can I start if I don't share the sky?"
Qin Mumian sneered: "It's just like that, I'm afraid that the drunkard doesn't mean to be in the bar?"
Tang Shengyue raised her head and said calmly: "Miss Qin, don't be sneering, who is stronger than you and me? The current princess of the northwest is not you Qin Mumian, but Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
There was a moment of silence between the two.
Qin Mumian said softly: "That's it, why should women be embarrassed by women." ”
Tang Shengyue asked, "What will happen to you if something happens to Xiao Yu?"
Qin Mumian's face didn't show any melancholy, and he said indifferently: "I believe he will be fine." ”
Tang Shengyue frowned slightly, and repeated softly, "Trust him?"
Qin Mumian smiled, there was a heroic spirit that did not lose to a man in his laughter, and asked rhetorically, "Otherwise?"
Zhili Prefecture, Bohai Province.
After the Northwest Army's siege of the city for three consecutive days, the city of Bohai Mansion was already crumbling, and the soldiers defending the city were even more exhausted, after repelling another siege of the Northwest Army, many soldiers were still holding weapons dripping with blood beads in their hands, but the whole person had fallen asleep, with robes and the corpses of the enemy on one side, the city wall full of holes behind him, and the cold dirty blood under his body. This is the battlefield.
Zhao Qing, who was wearing armor, stepped past the corpses and sleeping soldiers, came to the West Gate Tower, leaned on the city wall and looked in the direction of Meishan, and asked with a smile to a middle-aged Confucian scholar behind him: "Mr. Xu, you came to Bohai Mansion this time just in case?"
This person is the newly promoted ninth person in the world, Xu Hongru, and he is also the second person in the entire White Lotus Sect after Fu Chen.
Xu Hongru replied: "This is what the sect leader means, once something can't be done, Xu can leave Zhili Prefecture with the general and go to Jiangnan to meet the sect leader." ”
Zhao Qing sighed softly, "If you lose the Eastern Capital, you will give half of Jiangbei to Xiao Yu." ”
Xu Hongru said: "This is also a helpless thing, but the south of the Yangtze River is rich, and there are great rivers and natural dangers, plus millions of troops, it is not impossible to divide the river and rule, and then plan for the future." ”
Zhao Qing turned around and said with a wry smile: "Dividing the river and ruling is a partial peace, Jiangnan has no horses, this is a congenital deficiency, no matter how hard Jiangnan works, and how rich and prosperous, the infantry sailor can't resist Jiangbei's rolling iron cavalry after all, if you give up Jiangbei now, you will hand over the knife to others, we can only lead the neck and kill, so the Jiangbei battlefield can't be easily let go." ”
Xu Hongru sighed and said: "The truth is such a truth, but the current Northwest Army is very difficult to control, and the Jiangbei battlefield is already erosive and out of control, so what can I do?"
Zhao Qing was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "If you let Xiao Yu die in Meishan......"
Xu Hongru said in a low voice: "It's difficult. ”
Zhao Qing's face was expressionless.
Xu Hongru continued: "But you can give it a try. ”
The corners of Zhao Qing's mouth curled slightly, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
Northeast, Muwang's Mansion.
After the routine military aircraft deliberations were completed, the shepherd left Zha Mang, the new governor of the Northern Capital, and asked with a smile: "The two masters of the Xiao family are finally going to fight, what do you think?"
After thinking for a while, Zha Mang replied: "The Xiao family in the eastern capital and the Xiao family in the central capital are going to be merged into one, for our Northeast, there are advantages and disadvantages, but all in all, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, after the two Xiao families are combined into one, the Northwest Prefectures, Beidi, Qizhou, Yuzhou, Shaanzhou, and Shuzhou will be connected, and our Northeast will become a lonely place hanging outside the Central Plains. ”
The shepherd was silent for a long time, and then said, "You are right. ”
Eastern Capital, Great Zheng Palace.
The Empress Dowager Jade and Qin Xian walked in the imperial garden that had just revealed their fragrance, and walked into a small pavilion, the Empress Dowager Jade retreated left and right, and said softly: "Xian'er, the prime minister has gone to Meishan, and he went to Xiao Yu to make a decision." Now that the war situation is not going well, if the prime minister can't come back, the eastern capital under our feet will have to change owners. ”
Qin Xian looked at his mother, "Queen Mother, if Xiao Yu comes, what will he do to us?"
The Jade Empress Dowager smiled bitterly, "Who knows? Maybe it will completely kill our Qin family, maybe it will make you a puppet emperor, and then do the Zen thing in the future." There is nothing new under the sky, how can this kind of thing be less, in the end, it is either a rich idler, or a cup of poisonous wine. ”
Qin Xian's face was pale, and his hands hidden in the sleeves of his wide robe trembled slightly.
