Chapter 46: The Old Man

Without saying anything all the way, Si Nanyue followed King Chiyuan into the study not far away, and finally, King Chiyuan asked, "Daughter of the Si family, you don't have anything to ask King Gu?" ”

She naturally had a problem, but she was just curious about the purpose of King Chiyuan's summoning her, was it just to see if she didn't look like her aunt?

That's right, the "she" in the mouth of King Chiyuan is Si Nanyue's eldest aunt, Si Yulin.

Although King Chiyuan didn't say it clearly, that sentence gave Si Nanyue two clues, one is that that person and Si Nanyue are blood relatives, so King Chiyuan wants to find the shadow of that person in her.

Another clue is that the person should be a woman, and the King of Chiyuan will be disappointed that he did not find the slightest common ground between them.

But more importantly, when she was younger, she remembers that her father had inadvertently mentioned a past incident while chatting with his mother.

More than 30 years ago, Chiyuan was hit by a flood, and in the face of King Chiyuan's request for help, my grandfather sent General Fuyuan to assist Chiyuan in controlling the flood, and brought a lot of grain and grass to relieve the victims.

After this incident, the king of Chiyuan ordered the prince Helian Xiaoyi to come to Zelu City to express his gratitude, and the prince of the year is the current king of Chiyuan.

Time is calculated back to more than 30 years, and at that time, in Zelu City, only Aunt Yulin can be called a peerless sentence.

She is not only her grandfather's favorite eldest daughter, but also talented and beautiful since she was a child.

Her temperament is competitive and competitive, unlike ordinary daughters who like to embroider and play the piano, but like to dance with knives and guns, and even for a long time, Aunt Yulin has dominated the martial arts competition.

Later, when Jiang Yucheng invaded the Zelu Frontier, the newly adult Aunt Yulin secretly followed her to the battlefield, and she joined forces with the hussar generals to defeat the enemy army one after another.

My aunt used her outstanding swordsmanship to directly take the head of the enemy general among tens of millions of people, ending the war, and also won the title of "Jade Yama" on the battlefield.

To use my grandfather's joke, it is: "If you hold a martial arts competition for Yulin girl, I am afraid that she will not be able to marry until she is old." ”

I'm afraid that only a woman like my aunt who is both wise and martial can be arrogant and advocate the martial arts of King Chiyuan for so many years.

Si Nanyue lowered her eyes and bowed to King Chiyuan, and said in a gentle voice: "Thank you Wang Shang for remembering the old relationship with Aunt Yulin, and letting go of the people of Zelu City, Si Nanyue is in this life...... There is no retribution. ”

Hearing the name of Yulin, King Chiyuan's expression changed, and she said: "She once said to this king, not only men have gold under their knees, but also daughters, she worships heaven and earth, and worships her parents, and no one else is qualified to be worshiped by her, and you ...... But I don't see her character at all. ”

"Aunt Yulin is a rare strange woman in the world, and Si Nanyue is mortal, and she is different from her aunt."

She said this to the heart of the King of Chiyuan, in the past thirty years, the woman he has seen no matter swordsmanship, or scheming, or the appearance that Yulin cares about the most, if she can have half of her, it is already commendable, even if she is close to the bloodline, she will not grow into a second Si Yulin.

King Chiyuan sighed lightly, and after letting Si Nanyue get up, he took out a mahogany box with the length of his upper arm on the Bogu shelf on his side, carefully wiped it and handed it to Si Nanyue.

"This was sent by the envoy of Ganquan City ordered by Yulin, and she said that if she saw you, she would give this thing to you."

It was not a treasure, nor a secret, but a strand of long hair tied with strips of cloth and mixed with white silk.

He knew Yulin's careful thoughts, and she wanted him to look at the past relationship between the two and save the lives of the descendants of the Si family, in fact...... Even if she didn't say it, he would.

It's just that he didn't expect that after Si Nanyue saw the hair inside, an indescribable expression appeared on her face, and her body almost collapsed to the ground, and then, tears surged out of her eyes.

"What's wrong? What do you see? The Chiyuan King's sword eyebrows tightened, and he took two steps forward and asked.

Si Nanyue hugged the wooden box to hide her face and wept, she choked up and said, "Auntie...... She's going to die soon......"

"How so?!"

"My aunt once told me when she got married that she was married far away from Ganquan City, but her homeland was difficult to leave, and when her destiny was about to come, she would bury her with a wisp of green silk back to Zelu City, even if it was ...... Even if the leaves have returned to their roots, now that she has sent this thing all the way, she is afraid that her body is ......"

King Chiyuan's body shook, his hand pressed on the desk to support his body, and slowly closed his eyes, he really couldn't imagine that the woman who was heroic and sassy back then, who had won his arrow in riding and shooting, was now running out of oil.

But he quickly accepted the matter, his current body is not as good as before, and Yulin is still a few years older than him.

Even the most outstanding people will not be able to escape this disaster in the end, and this is something he has thought about a long time ago......

"The Lone King wants to be quiet, so you can step down."

King Chiyuan waved his hand, and when he was the only one left in the study, he returned to his chair with heavy steps.

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the desk, he remembered that he was young and frivolous at that time, and Yulin's victory made him annoyed and unwilling, so he pestered her all day long, wanting to compete again.

She promised well, but disappeared into the city of Zelu the next day, leaving only a letter saying that she had gone north to the front with the army, and that she would have a good match with him when she returned.

But half a year after the battle subsided, he had already returned to Chiyuan.

It was also in that year that the feudal lord attempted to rebel, and his father was assassinated by a spies, and he was put on the throne by the Kretti clan after marrying Akezhen.

In those years, in order to stabilize Chiyuan, it really made him work hard, and when Chiyuan was stabilized and the rebels were removed, Yulin had already married Ganquan City.

And the unstarted competition with her has made him remember it for more than 30 years, but now, he is waiting for the news that the deceased's life will not last long......

"Alas......"

King Chiyuan sighed deeply, and after sending someone to summon Helian En, he picked up his pen and wrote the words "old friends and relatives" in his reply......

"Father, are you looking for me?"

Helian pushed the door in, and when he saw him coming, the king of Chiyuan motioned for him to sit aside, and did not say to him until he had finished writing the letter in his hand, "En'er, my father has something to discuss with you......

It was almost dusk when Si Nanyue came out of the palace, she thought that Helian Jue had already returned to the house, but she didn't expect him to be waiting here, and when he saw Si Nanyue come out, he was a little relieved.

It can be seen that the tails of her eyes are slightly red, obviously crying, and she is still holding a wooden box in her arms, Helian Jue hurriedly asked, "What did my father pass on to you?" ”

Si Nanyue informed Helian of this matter, and the doubts in his heart were solved, no wonder his father was so concerned about Zelu City, it turned out to be related to the past.

"Life and death are fate, don't be too sad."

It was rare that Helian decided to persuade her, and in addition to being surprised, Si Nanyue did not forget to ask him about today's court.

After learning that Helian had handed over the Golden Seal to King Chiyuan and that King Rui had been transferred to the frontier, she smiled and said, "Maybe our achievements today are much more than that. ”

Seeing that Helian was puzzled, Si Nanyue explained: "According to what His Royal Highness said, the king is very concerned about the prince's courtiers forming gangs, and today's words and deeds of King Rui have made the king angry, and the courtiers who support His Highness's seal with him are afraid that they will not be reused in the future." ”

He didn't think of this, but it was true, if he was in charge of the Wolf King Army, he would be the biggest threat to everyone's succession, and naturally he would also be a thorn in the side of the prince's followers.

"Except for a few henchmen, it can be regarded as unintentional planting willows." Helian said.

The two of them were talking all the way, and the way back to the house was not far away, and as soon as the carriage stopped, Apohan, who was waiting outside, rushed to him in a hurry.

Of course, Helian Jue knew what he wanted to say, so he took him to the study in the small courtyard, and Si Nanyue went back to the room to rest.

Abohan was depressed for a day, and as soon as Si Nanyue left, she couldn't wait to ask: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you today, how did you hand over the military power in a good manner?" How can you go back to the frontier to reunite with your brothers?! ”

Helian did not answer Apohan directly, but asked him: "Apohan, what is the most taboo thing for you to say that you are the king?" ”

"Your Highness, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing for us!" Apohan was so anxious that he couldn't figure it out, his face was flushed, and he scratched his head so hard that he almost tore his scalp off.

"Our Chiyuan soldiers are strong and strong, and the whole world has been snatched back by the king and his old man, what else is he afraid of? After a hundred years of his old man's family, His Royal Highness will inherit the unification, and then our Chiyuan will be more prosperous than now, and even Mobei outside the Gobi will be beaten down by it, and we will have nothing to fear! ”

Helian Du sneered, walked to the table unhurriedly, poured a cup of tea, and asked Youyou, "When did my father say that he would let this king inherit the throne?" ”

"Huh?! This ......"

Apohan, who asked Helian Duelly, was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

In terms of identity, His Royal Highness King Xiao is the eldest son of the emperor, and his mother is the queen, who was born in the noble Kreti family.

In terms of meritorious service, not to mention the prince, even the kings of all dynasties have not unified the eight cities in just five years like His Royal Highness King Xiao.

Although the king has never appointed a prince, in Apohan's heart, he is not ...... In the hearts of the entire wolf king army, it was tacitly assumed that His Royal Highness King Xiao was the next king, and now he actually said such a sentence, which couldn't help but make Apohan's heart more and more cold the more he thought about it.

"If you don't set up you, do you want to set up the slave-born, pampered Prince An? Or the king who has no military exploits, or the seventh prince who grew up in a medicine jar and still doesn't even have the title of king? Or is it King Teng who has only been guarding the frontier for five years? Phew!! ”

Abohan spat at the foam fiercely, and shouted with a red face: "In the life of the king, if you are so confused in major affairs, the 400,000 wolf king army will never agree!" ”

Helian Du looked at Apohan and put the unfinished tea in his hand on the table, his eyes were dark, like a blood-stained blade, revealing a chill.

He spoke slowly, "This is what my father fears the most. ”
