Once a person's material needs have been satisfied, they will pursue a higher level of spiritual needs, especially for these feudal officials stationed in the border generals and those high-ranking children who came to gild.

And the people above have needs, and there will naturally be people below to hold stinky feet.

Therefore, it is logical that some places with beautiful scenery near Houting County have been built on top of some places that are read as "outposts", which are actually manor mansions.

The interior facilities are luxurious, and there are countless beautiful women and handsome men.

And next to Guangzhen County, one of the three border cities, there is such a boundary called Wanfangyuan.

It's just because of the southern invasion of the barbarians, the once luxurious water pavilions here have all been turned into a torch, and only a pavilion on the top of the mountain is independent.

And at this moment, under the snowy sky, two figures stood in the pavilion.

One man and one woman.

The man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes are extraordinary.

The woman's muscles are snow bones, and her coat is half-wrapped, revealing her flawless fragrant shoulders.

The man held a wolf ink pen in his hand, and the handwriting on the back of the paper was rendered on the rice paper.

pen station,

Nan Jinxi smiled and reached out and picked up the rice paper directly, with a little surprise in her beautiful eyes, and smiled back:

"Zhao Yuan, I only knew that you were good at piano rhythm before, but I didn't expect your handwriting to be like a swimming dragon~"

"You are a fox demon, and you also know calligraphy?"

“.” South Jinxi.

Putting down the wolf ink pen in his hand, Li Zhaoyuan chuckled lightly and said:

"People in the world take piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as their elegance, and poetry and lyrics as their talents, and this king learns these just to do what he likes."

Nan Jinxi pulled the plush brocade fur between his elbows and snorted softly:

"Do what you like, in order to coax the little girl?"

Li Zhaoyuan looked back, his eyes calm:

"Coaxing a little girl? If this king can have such leisure, it will be a kind of pleasure. But it's a pity that it's not, the gap between the king and the royal brother is too big, and I can only make some insignificant compensates for these details, which is a famous post of this king, and many old guys eat this set. ”

Nan Jinxi looked away and pouted slightly:

"But the little girl from the Secret Division."

"Compared with the woman who is a confidant, this king is more inclined to die for the confidant of Xu Mengxi."

Li Zhaoyuan calmly stared at the emotion in Nan Jinxi's eyes, and said lightly: "Ling's jealousy is very boring. ”

"Huh"

Nan Jinxi took a deep breath and said without any waves on his chest: "Okay, what did you mean when you said before that they started to suspect you?" Won't be dangerous? ”

Li Zhaoyuan waved his hand very easily:

"No, they don't have any evidence, it's just speculation based on common sense."

"Speculation?" Nan Jinxi frowned.

Looking at her concerned gaze, Li Zhaoyuan glanced at the direction of Guangzhen County with very leisurely side eyes:

"If the father and the emperor are in good health, the king still has plenty of time to arrange, arrange, and make up for the gap with the imperial brother, but it is a pity that the father and the emperor are not long in life, with the current situation, there are only two ways for the king to win over the imperial brother, one is to cooperate with Xu Gong, and the second is to make peace with the sect."

Nan Jinxi asked coldly:

"So. Did you really choose the second path? ”

“.”

There was no answer.

Li Zhaoyuan's starry eyes were indifferent, but he also did not deny it.

In silence,

Nan Jinxi sighed, his voice softened a little, and said softly:

"You are still like this as always, knowing that I will not betray you Li Zhaoyuan, just be direct, what do you want me to do for you."

Li Zhaoyuan slowly raised his eyes to look at Guangzhen County, which was looming in the wind and snow, and whispered:

"Mr. Zong and my imperial sister are preparing to go south, and Houting County should have started to camp today."

Hearing this, Nan Jinxi folded her skirt and sat on the stone chair in the pavilion, and said:

"The rout army that fled north on the side of the sect has basically been accepted by you, and Zong Qingsheng and Wu Yuan have no need to drag it down."

Li Zhaoyuan shook his head:

"But there is no news from Marquis Wu Cheng yet, and now that the grain and grass are sufficient, for the sake of safety, he should wait for Marquis Wu Cheng."

Nan Jinxi's body leaned back slightly, and his exposed jade back leaned lightly against the icy guardrail despite the cold:

"Didn't they let you participate in the military meeting, could it be that you were deceived?"

Li Zhaoyuan whispered lightly:

"This king has some eyes and ears in Houting County, if Marquis Wucheng arrives in the area of Houting County, the scale of 100,000 soldiers, this king will definitely receive the news, and they must have some other plans before Marquis Wucheng is in a hurry to go south."

Hearing this, Nan Jinxi sat up slightly straight, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly:

"Now that the 300,000 elites of the Northern Sect have been lost, with the appetite of your father and Xu Yinhe, they shouldn't miss this opportunity, and Marquis Wu Cheng won't make a detour south like the barbarians, right?"

Li Zhaoyuan raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes:

"You mean to say. My father, the emperor, will take this opportunity to directly start a war against the sect? ”

"Your father probably doesn't want to, but that Xu Xiangguo will definitely do it if he has the opportunity." Nan Jinxi said in a low voice.

Li Zhaoyuan smiled slightly, and nodded without concealment:

"That's true."

Nan Jinxi's slender knuckles clenched violently:

"You guys. . . Is the Great Yan Imperial Court about to start declaring war on the internal sects? ”

Li Zhaoyuan shook his head lightly and said with a sigh:

"No, of course not, at the moment when the 300,000 elites of the Northern Sect were destroyed, they had already been abandoned."

Nan Jinxi's voice carried a touch of incredulity:

"Who told you that? Will the sects in other places sit idly by and watch the northern sects be destroyed by your court? ”

Li Zhaoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his chin bowed:

"It doesn't matter how I know, but it's true."

"How is this possible?!"

Nan Jinxi blurted out, and his crisp voice rose slightly: "As soon as the barbarians are eliminated, the northern sect will be destroyed again, and the power of the world's sects over your court will no longer be superior." ”

"Nanxi, the imperial court is divided into the royal family and the prime minister's mansion."

“.”

The vast world, the wind and snow are silent.

Li Zhaoyuan's fingertips tapped lightly on the stone table in the pavilion:

"If it were another point in time, the sect would definitely attack it en masse, but not now, because my father and emperor are not long dead. The barbarian clan was wiped out, the northern sect was destroyed, and the strength of the sect was greatly reduced, so the Xiangfu naturally became the biggest enemy of my royal clan. ”

Saying,

Li Zhaoyuan sighed lightly:

"For the same goal, old friends who have been with each other for most of their lives have come to the end of their lives, but they are fighting each other. Oh, the supremacy of imperial power. ”

After the words fell, and after a quiet breath, Li Zhaoyuan restrained his expression and said in a low voice:

"Okay, none of this is important to us now, the important thing is that Marquis Wu Cheng is not in the army, which is just convenient for what I want to ask you."

When Nan Jinxi heard this, he realized what Li Zhaoyuan wanted to do, and asked softly:

"You want me to kill someone?"

"Hmm."

“.”

Nan Jinxi had a complicated look in his charming fox eyes, bit the corner of his lip, and chuckled:

"You know I'm not going to turn you down. Say, kill whom? ”

Li Zhaoyuan's thin lips opened lightly, and his warm voice did not rise and fall without a trace of ups and downs, and he spit out the names of the two people.

Silence came suddenly.

Nan Jinxi lowered his eyes:

"Why?"

"What, why?"

"What's in it for you to kill both of them?"

“.”

Li Zhaoyuan slowly stood up and looked at the endless flying snow in front of him:

"The former can't be used by me, and my eldest brother is my biological brother and sister, if she stands against him, I will never be able to turn over in this life. As for the latter. Even if he stands on the shoulders of his father, he can single-handedly plan the current situation is a character, and Dayan does not allow a second Xu Yinhe, even if it is just possible. ”

Nan Jinxi was quiet for a long time, and suddenly asked:

"But have you thought about the consequences?"

"The consequences?"

Li Zhaoyuan chuckled lightly and looked back: "What consequences?" ”

“.”

Nan Jinxi suddenly fell silent.

No one knows the relationship between the two of them, and with her identity, this pot will only be buckled on Gu Yuan's head.

Looking at the familiar face of the man in front of her, her voice was slightly hoarse:

"Okay, I'll go, but in the military array, Li Qingyan's strength is too strong, I can only try to kill Xu Changtian."

Li Zhaoyuan's hand in his sleeve robe was raised, as if he wanted to caress the woman's face, but he held back, and just said lightly:

"Even if your Snow Spirit Fox's companion talent can successfully infiltrate the army, it is impossible to kill any of them, so this king does not want you to force them to kill."

“.”

Nan Jinxi's eyes were full of doubts:

"You mean to let me go and tell those sect generals the news that their mountain gate will be destroyed?"

As long as the news comes out, the Northern Sect will inevitably fight back to the death, and when the time comes, with the help of the barbarians, it will not be difficult for Li Qingyan and Xu Changtian to die in the chaos.

Li Zhaoyuan frowned slightly:

"Although there is an opportunity to act like this, it will do me more harm than good."

“.”

Nan Jinxi pursed her lips and stared at Li Zhaoyuan waiting for his next words.

As soon as Li Zhaoyuan raised his fingertips, a simple bronze mirror appeared in the palm of his hand, and he said softly:

"This bronze ancient mirror is a strange treasure obtained by this king when he traveled the world, and he used it to kill Xu Changtian and Li Qingyan by the hands of the barbarians."

Nan Jinxi reached out to take the bronze mirror in confusion, but in the next moment, her pupils shrank slightly.

Spatial fluctuations

At this time, Li Zhaoyuan gently grabbed her hand and told her word by word:

"Remember, you must wait until the barbarians are about to collapse before using this object, only then will you have a chance to escape from the chaos."

Nan Jinxi glanced at his big hand, and suddenly asked coldly:

"Would you be sad if I died on this trip?"

Li Zhaoyuan's fingers trembled slightly, let go of his hand, and his long hair swayed lightly with the snow wind:

"If it really happens, this king should not have the qualifications to grieve for you."

Nan Jinxi slowly stood up from the pavilion, and glanced at the man coldly with a pair of fox eyes:

"If you want to deceive me with affection, you can deceive me completely, and if you want to use me as a chess piece, you will be even more cold-blooded, Li Zhaoyuan, the way you look now, really disappoints me."

“.”

Li Zhaoyuan was silent and did not speak.

Nan Jinxi bit the corner of her lip hard, but the words she wanted to speak eventually came down to a light sigh, and her slender figure turned into flying snow and dissipated into the sky
