Wei Imperial Palace, Imperial Garden.

Since Bai Qi entered the palace, the imperial garden has become a place where Bai Qi often relaxes.

The garden is full of a variety of flowers and trees, and even in the depths of winter, there are still plum blossoms blooming on the branches.

Bai Qi stood in the snow, looking up at the plum blossoms on the tree, stunned.

"The general's actions in the court today are afraid that they have caused controversy among many people."

Behind him, Lu Lengyan's voice came slowly.

Bai Qi didn't look back, but still looked at the plum blossoms above his head, and chuckled: "Controversy? They're just a bunch of rotten people who can chew their tongues, what do they do? ”

"They and I are like the tender flowers blooming in spring and the plum blossoms in front of me, and I Bai Qi is just going to bloom my due brilliance in the harshest winter."

"The general is so courageous." Lu Lengyan smiled slightly: "It's just that I don't understand, if the general doesn't deal with Xiao Chen, why should he turn his head to help Xia Guo?" ”

Bai Qi finally turned his head, looked at Lu Lengyan in surprise and said, "You don't know? ”

Lu Lengyan smiled but did not speak.

Bai Qi said softly: "Although I always look down on Xiao Chen in my heart, it is undeniable that the speed of Xiao Chen's rise is much beyond my imagination, if I forcibly deal with Xiao Chen, it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation, not to mention, there are allies like Li Luo behind him." ”

"I have inquired in detail, a large part of the credit for Xiao Chen's rise this time is inseparable from the strategist Ji Wushuang beside Li Luo, so if I want to get rid of Xiao Chen, the safest way is to get rid of Li Luo."

"It just so happens that this letter from Xia Guo asking for help has given me a great opportunity, if I can take this opportunity to thwart Li Luo, Xiao Chen in the future will naturally not be worried."

After a pause, Bai Qi muttered: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, you don't understand this truth, right?" ”

Lu Lengyan suddenly smiled and said, "General, do you still remember the sentence I gave Xiao Chen?" ”

"Nine days of hidden dragons, half of the rivers and mountains." Bai Qi muttered, "He really did it. ”

Turning his head, Bai Qi suddenly looked at Lu Lengyan and said, "So, you went to Yong'an before because of this sentence?" ”

When the army of the Qianguo Kingdom besieged Yong'an, Lu Lengyan appeared in Yong'an, although Lu Lengyan's trip was extremely secretive, but it was not difficult for Bai Qi to find out Lu Lengyan's traces.

When Lu Lengyan heard this, he said unhurriedly: "I went to Yong'an to persuade Xiao Chen to open the city gate." ”

After taking a deep look at the calm and calm Lu Lengyan, Bai Qi waved his hand and said: "I have said since the day you followed me, although you are under my account, you have absolute freedom, I don't care what you want to do or what you have done, what I care about now is this trip to Xia Kingdom, how will it be success or failure?" ”

Lu Lengyan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "General, you know, I only look at people." ”

"Oh?" Bai Qi shook his head and smiled: "I almost regarded you as an immortal of an unknown prophet." ”

Suddenly, Bai Qi put away his smile and said, "Then look at me, this time, will I win?" ”

Lu Lengyan stood in the snow, wearing a yin and yang fish robe, which added a lot of transcendent temperament to her, and after being silent for a long time, Lu Lengyan said in a deep voice:

"It's man-made!"

……

Outside the city of Yong'an, there is a small stream called Zuiyang Creek.

From the sun rises in the morning to the sun sets, the quietly flowing stream almost completely imprints the sun in the sky into the stream, hence the name Zuiyang Creek.

In the depths of winter, there is no sun, and the sky is always gray, but there is an extra grave next to the stream.

The tomb bag has no name, and there is not even a tablet, but even so, the tomb bag in front of him has been turned over by someone, and the soil on the tomb is sprinkled everywhere, that is, Wu Liang came in time, otherwise, I am afraid that even the corpses of the people in the tomb will not be at peace.

Looking at the messy tomb in front of him, the guard beside Wu Liang bowed down and said, "Commander, the maniac who destroyed the tomb should not have gone far, do you want me to send someone to chase after you." ”

After taking a deep look at the tomb, Wu Liang waved his hand lightly and said, "That's it, don't chase it, what if you catch it?" ”

For those who dig graves, in fact, you don't need to think about it to know that it is either the soldiers under Ji Sheng's men, or the families of those who died.

But whoever catches one, what about the others? Could he still kill these again like Zhuang Shu?

The answer is no, Zhuang Shu finally traded his life for the stability of Huazhou, and he can't afford to toss anymore.

Moreover, the current Wu Liang has taken over the mission that Zhuang Shu carried before, and he must think twice about his words and deeds, and he is no longer the Wu Liang who did his own thing before.

"Go and keep watch around and don't let anyone come near."

When the guard next to him walked away, Wu Liang gently knelt on the ground and picked up the scattered dirt piece by piece, his movements were very delicate, for fear of staggering a piece of soil.

"I thought you were clever enough in life and would have arranged it after you died, but it seems foolish to me that you chose this place. is so close to Yong'an, it is destined to be impossible to be pure after death, isn't it? ”

Wu Liang chattered endlessly while picking up the soil, as if he was chatting with his best friend.

"But your goal has been achieved, the current Yong'an is indeed united, no one dares to talk about the prince's half a sentence anymore, even Linghu Chu, who survived, also handed over all the military power of the three southwestern states yesterday and chose to retire."

"Your killing is indeed turning Huazhou upside down."

"To be honest, I used to look down on you, I thought you were a useless person who only bragged and flaunted, but now that I think about it, it's me who is ridiculous."

"Tell you this now, you shouldn't blame me, anyway, you're not even afraid of death, you can't still be angry with me now, right?"

……

This afternoon, Wu Liang was babbling while re-cultivating the soil, until the grave bag was put back in order, and Wu Liang clapped his hands with satisfaction and said:

"It's almost the same now, there's still a piece of tablet left, but don't worry, I'll definitely make it up to you in the future, as for now, ......"

Wu Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Now, the monument can't be erected for the time being, so you can bear it first." ”

On the side, the guards guarding in the distance gave Wu Liang an urgent look several times, obviously having something important to report.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Liang finally waved his hand lightly, and then the guard walked quickly to Wu Liang, took a deep look at the tomb bag beside Wu Liang, the guard retracted his gaze, and handed a letter to Wu Liang Dao:

"Commander, Shi Caigongzi, I have sent a few secret reports from Kyoto in an urgent manner."

……

Some people died, but not completely......
