"Where's the old man?"

After walking in the dark for a while, Shangguan Li's eyes gradually adapted to the environment in front of him, although he still couldn't see anything clearly, he could already roughly see the silhouette of the shadow.

Xuanyuan walked in front of her, and she didn't know how to see the road clearly, and she didn't hesitate at every step, as if she had already known where the road was.

"Sake lees, you say? He is only responsible for bringing us into the secret passage, and nothing else will be involved, and he will probably slip away a long time ago. ”

Lees......

Another sloppy name.

But listening to Xuanyuan Ye's words, the old man called Sake Lees was not his person.

As she walked, she suddenly asked.

"Do you know what the emperor wants to do?"

If the sake lees were not his own, then he deliberately chose this sake brewery, probably in anticipation of what was about to happen, and there was this passage in case of emergency.

Xuanyuan Ye replied quickly.

"I don't know, at least until you leave the palace. I'm just guessing that the deadline is approaching, and the emperor should do something, especially when I learn that the emperor is suddenly going to give you a birthday banquet. ”

"The reason why I'm here is because I'm really on the defensive side, and on the other hand...... I won't tell you just yet. ”

Shangguan Lixin said that there is really no one who sells Guanzi at this time.

But......

"Deadline, what deadline?"

This time, Xuanyuan Ye hesitated for a moment before answering.

"The deadline for me to return to the North."

After he said this, Shangguan Li behind him didn't speak for a long time.

"Yes."

After a while, her voice finally came, and her voice did not change from her usual voice.

"It's been too long since you left the northern border, and I heard that Biluolie has recently had a very talented king, and the emperor is having a headache about this matter."

It didn't sound like anything unusual, Xuanyuan Ye pursed his lips and said with some disappointment.

"The county lord's news is also well-informed."

"I heard Li Zhan mention it when I went to Tai Hospital before, and I guess he also knew about it from Master Gao. But since the north needs you, why does the emperor still want your life? ”

It doesn't make sense.

Even if the emperor is very jealous of Xuanyuan Ye, it is well known that the people of the Zhenbei Army are basically brought out of Xuanyuan Ye from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain one by one.

If you know about this matter, not to mention that the violence and chaos are so serious, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be weakened, and when the time comes, it will not let the barbarians take advantage?

Even if the emperor has the means to hide his own actions, the loss of the king of Zhenbei itself represents the collapse of a pillar of the Great Zhou.

Now around the Great Zhou, how many small countries have been subdued one by one by Xuanyuan Ye personally leading the Zhenbei Army?

As soon as Xuanyuan died at night, it is not an exaggeration to say that the world will be in turmoil.

Shangguan Li really couldn't understand that the emperor, who was so shrewd that he was almost cold-blooded, couldn't see this clearly, and gambled his suspicion with the safety of Da Zhou.

Xuanyuan Ye said lightly.

"I have been with you for many years, and if I want to talk about my understanding of the emperor, I am probably only slightly inferior to the high-ranking official in the palace. If I guessed correctly, this is a test, not for me, but for the Zhenbei Army. ”

Shangguan Li's eyes slowly widened.

How smart she was, she understood the emperor's purpose just by listening to this sentence.

"You mean, doesn't the emperor really want to kill you?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, be careful under your feet, there is a pit here."

Shangguan Li raised his foot as he said.

Xuanyuan Ye's voice came steadily, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

"The Zhenbei army has been in the north for a long time, and it has long been a problem for the emperor. If I return to the north as a prince this time, my prestige in the army will definitely rise again, and the emperor will certainly not let this happen. ”

"Specifically, the emperor wants to see what kind of reaction the Zhenbei Army will have if I die. If they submit to the imperial power, they will be happy. If there is an impulsive person in the army......"

"It's just the right time to clear up, isn't it?"

Shangguan Li took his words.

Xuanyuan Ye laughed.

"The county lord is smart. In fact, this is really a good way, once the Zhenbei Army really did something out of the ordinary because of my death, and then carry me out in the future, the fault will all be on me. It can not only get rid of heart disease, but also deter the army, which is really a good strategy to kill multiple birds with one stone. ”

Nothing will be damaged, and nothing will be lost.

Except for Xuanyuan Night's loyalty.

Shangguan Li lowered his eyes silently.

"My brother once told me that the Holy One wants to do something about it today. After seeing today's events, I confirmed that the emperor did have this idea, but I am afraid that he will not be able to do so. ”

"Poof, Brother Ling's insight is chic."

"I thought you'd say, "Be careful."

Shen Yan two words, she learned Xuanyuan Ye's tone, it sounded really vivid.

"There are no outsiders here, am I the kind of pedantic person? Is...... The front is almost there. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Li had already seen a faint dusty light in the distance.

Xuanyuan Ye's footsteps slowed down a little, and she just walked to her side, and then she felt that her eyes were warm, and she felt that her eyes were covered by a pair of big hands.

“…… Lord, please don't get an inch. ”

Xuanyuan Ye had already circled behind her, and his tone was a matter of course.

"If you've been in the dark for a long time, you'll be uncomfortable when you see bright eyes."

"I know better than you, and you don't have two hands free, what about yourself?"

"Oh, is the county lord concerned about me?"

"yes, yes, so you let me go."

Even though her tone was very perfunctory, the corners of Xuanyuan Ye's mouth couldn't help but curl. But the hand doesn't mean to move at all.

"Don't worry, I'm used to it. As long as you don't move, I'll let you ask one more question. ”

Shangguan Li was speechless.

"Let you ask a question that I wasn't going to answer before."

"Deal."

Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and then his smile widened a little.

"The county lord's ability to change his face is also very skillful."

"A big husband can bend and stretch."

"It's obviously a beauty, what a big ......"

"Just now at the sake brewery, you said that you chose this place for two reasons, in addition to just in case, what else?"

Shangguan Li didn't give him a chance to run the train with his mouth full, and interrupted him in time.

Xuanyuan Ye really hesitated for a moment, and his voice shamefully softened.

"County Lord, do you have to ask this, can't you change it? I'll promise you two, will you change one? ”

"Xuanyuan Night, pay attention to your identity."

Shangguan Li had goosebumps on his arm, is this person being coquettish?

The hateful thing is that she really had a momentary soft-heartedness, and she immediately expelled this idea. Repeat his question firmly.

"Ugh."

Xuanyuan sighed softly in her ear.
