The more Xiao Yan listened, the more surprised he became, how many spies Xizhou had put in Nanxiao, how many eyes and ears had been placed around him, and he even knew such a confidential matter so clearly.

After a long time, Xiao Yan came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Since His Highness already knows everything, then I should know that Nan Xiao is now impossible to go back to me." For so many years, I have called the enemy who killed my father my father, and made countless contributions to his battles, and now I think about it, it is really ironic. ”

He Tian nodded, Xiao Yan had infinite scenery in the first half of his life, but he always trapped himself in the temple in the second half of his life.

Although Emperor Nanxiao has a grudge against him for killing his father, but he also has the grace of nurturing, in addition to the crown prince, the most important thing is him, no matter how to speculate on Emperor Nanxiao's thoughts, so much kindness is always difficult to erase.

Revenge, for the grace of nurturing, not for revenge, for the grace of childbirth.

That's why he finally chose the path of becoming a monk.

But in He Tian's opinion, this is really insulting his talent, not to mention that at this time, Xizhou is very much in need of a talent like him who can take charge of himself.

He Tian said: "So now you, do you choose to become a monk?" ”

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Please Your Highness." ”

He Tian did not agree directly, but changed the topic: "Do you think that today's Bei Chen and Nan Xiao, which is stronger and which is weaker?" ”

Xiao Yan pondered for a while, and said truthfully: "Today, there are countless elite soldiers in Northern Chen, and the background is profound, if it weren't for the continuous internal friction of Northern Chen, and the terrain of Southern Xiao to rely on, Southern Xiao is probably not the enemy of Northern Chen." ”

"However, Nan Xiao is like a child, although he is weak now, he is growing rapidly, and he will be strong tomorrow, in contrast, Bei Chen is like an adult strong man, although he is strong now, but tomorrow he will slowly move towards aging. The south is prosperous and the north is declining, this is a certainty. ”

He Tian stood up, walked to the Buddha statue, looked up at the bronze Buddha and said, "You Yu Nanxiao, for so many years, you should have heard a lot of rumors that this king wants to rebel." ”

Xiao Yan replied with a smile: "I have heard this rumor for more than ten years, every year someone says that His Highness wants to rebel, and even has various detailed rebellion plans, but rumors are always rumors, I have known His Highness for several years, and when I discussed peace, I knew that His Highness would not rebel." ”

It was Xizhou that spent a lot of money to fight between Beichen and Nanxiao, but the benefits of the peace talks were attributed to Zhongzhou, so when Xiao Yan was still the second prince of Nanxiao, he was convinced that Beichen was against him, and Nanchen Wangfu would not be against him.

This is also the reason why he thinks that the future lies in Nanxiao, King Xiao Nanchen will grow old, and the Xizhou army will gradually grow old.

There are often heroes in the world, but there is only one King Xiao Nanchen.

He Tian sighed, Xiao Yan was really Zhou Shengchen's confidant, if it was Zhou Shengchen who was standing here at this time, he would definitely have a happy drink with him.

But after all, it is not Zhou Shengchen who is here, but He Tian, so all Xiao Yan's conjectures based on Zhou Shengchen will be wrong.

Turning around, He Tian looked at Xiao Yan and said: "If the rebellion fails, then it will be difficult to be in Fengtian, how about the Qingjun side?" ”

Xiao Yan's shock today is comparable to the time when the queen mother told him the truth before she died, and Bei Chen's biggest loyal minister has also changed.

He Tian was a little tired after standing for so long, so he simply sat cross-legged in front of Xiao Yan and said, "The future you can see, this king naturally won't not see it." This king once thought about it, stationed at the border all his life, guarding the people of Beichen, but how the people have been doing in Beichen for so many years, you were the prince of Nanxiao, and you should also know the intelligence of Beichen. ”

"The northern border has been invaded by foreign enemies all year round, and the people have either been killed on the spot or taken back to the grassland to become Han slaves. In other places, the imperial court has been harsh on taxes for many years, coupled with continuous natural disasters, how many people starved to death at home, or were forced to leave their homes, and the road to escape was full of bones. ”

"So this king has figured it out, I am loyal to the people of Li in the land of Beichen, not the high-ranking officials of the royal family who are greedy for pleasure and spend money in Zhongzhou City."

So, long ago, the king began to prepare. Aren't you just surprised why I know so much about Nan Xiao? The answer is very simple, because the peace negotiation is only the product of a temporary compromise between the two parties, and if something major happens in Beichen, Emperor Nanxiao will inevitably raise troops to the north. But this king will not give him this opportunity, this king has prepared a lot and is waiting for him. ”

Xiao Yan stared at He Tian with his eyes, King Xiao Nanchen had changed so much.

But Xiao Yan also understood in his heart that such a change would have more advantages than disadvantages for Bei Chen, who was guarded by Xizhou.

Poor Nan Xiao's impression of King Xiao Nanchen is still stuck in the old days, so it seems that Nan Xiao is afraid that it is dangerous.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yan sighed and said, "Xiao Yan is now a person who is about to become a monk, and all kinds of things in the world have nothing to do with me. His Royal Highness said this to me, I am afraid that I will play the harp to the cow. ”

He Tian shook his head and responded: "If you want to be a monk, from now on you will always accompany the ancient Buddha of the green lantern and chant the scriptures, this king and you are also confidants, so naturally you will not be hindered." ”

"However, in Xizhou, in Beichen, the king wants to plan a very big thing, but he doesn't want to see the blood flowing into a river, the lives are ruined, the king alone is difficult to support, so he needs help, and at this time, the Buddha sent you to the king."

Xiao Yan continued to shake his head, ready to refuse, although he and Zhou Shengchen were confidants, he really didn't want to be contaminated with the red world anymore.

Hongchen Purgatory, he just thought that he had already seen through it.

He Tian raised his hand to stop him, looked at him and said with a serious expression: "This king wants to make a deal with you." ”

"What deal can a monk make with His Highness? If you want me to chant and pray for the Xizhou Army, then I will agree. ”

He Tian shook his head and said: "This king wants you to make a promise, serve the Xizhou army for ten years, and after ten years, if you still want to become a monk, then this king will build a temple for you to worship the Buddha with green lanterns." ”

"Your Highness should know that I won't agree, so why bother to force others."

"And as a deal, this king promised that when he broke through the capital of Emperor Nanxiao, Emperor Nanxiao would have a way to live."

Xiao Yan was silent, Emperor Nanxiao has loved him for many years, if it is really one day, Bei Chen breaks into the imperial capital, can he really watch the person who shouted his father for so many years die?

After a long time, Xiao Yan slowly spoke: "I can serve the Xizhou Army, but I won't do anything to Nan Xiao." ”

He Tian replied with a smile: "Yes." And this king can also promise you that if you set foot in the territory of Nanxiao, you will restrain the soldiers and kill less. ”

"Your Highness."
