Chapter 5: Promise You a City
Xiao Yunyan turned around and went back to his big tent, standing in front of Kanyutu, but his mind couldn't calm down for a long time.
He was the ninth son of Emperor Liang, and his biological mother died in childbirth because of giving birth to him, so he had to be raised under the knees of the queen who had just experienced the pain of losing her child. It was he who set this precedent, and later the queen came to the crown prince who was more than ten years older than him and Xiao Yunsheng, the sixth brother who was the same age.
At that time, the prince taught them like a father and a brother, and they all looked down on the prince. And since last year, King Jiangliu passed away and Xiao Bai entered Beijing, and the prince was innocently implicated in the Linghu suicide note case and committed suicide. Since then, he has spent every day in self-blame, and his faith has completely collapsed, so he came to the border alone......
The soldier came: "Your Highness, Miss Shen said to say goodbye to Your Highness." ”
"Farewell?" Xiao Yunyan's thoughts were finally pulled back, "Let her in." ”
From time to time, Helian Yi came in, saluted him respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, I am here to say goodbye to Your Highness, thank you for taking him in these days." ”
"Who gave you permission to go?"
"Didn't His Highness say that he could send someone to send me to Lin Chuan?"
"Didn't you just say that you want to go to Song County with this king?"
"But since Your Highness can't trust me, why should I be bored."
"Lin Chuan and Kang Yuan are only a city apart, and sooner or later they will fall, you might as well follow this king to save your life."
"Why is Your Highness so rebellious?"
"Aren't you too?"
"That's because I understand that you and I don't agree with each other after all, so it's better to leave it alone."
"What's different, as long as you step out of this door, you won't even have your life, what kind of plan are you talking about?"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, I will bear the blessing or the curse ahead."
"There's no need to try to leave, let's go."
"I have my own shortcuts, and if you let me go, it will be good for His Highness."
"What shortcut?"
"I don't need to tell Your Highness about this."
Xiao Yunyan grabbed Helian Yi, "How can you leave this place in the army if you want to?" ”
"What does Your Highness want?"
Xiao Yunyan suddenly picked her up horizontally, and before He Lianyi could react, he carried her all the way out. Shen Liuxiang was originally waiting outside, but seeing this situation, she chased and trotted all the way, shouting: "Your Highness, where are you going to take our young lady?" ”
Xiao Yunyan ignored Shen Liuxiang, only took He Lianyi to a carriage and forcibly stuffed He Lianyi into it. Seeing this, Shen Liuxiang also immediately got into the carriage, and Xiao Yunyan said to a young general who was already sitting in the carriage: "Go." He himself got on his horse and followed the carriage.
The group walked for several hours, but they were already hungry, and there were no shops in front of the village or behind the village, so Luo Hu had to build a stove on the side of the road and cook with Shen Liuxiang.
Helian Yi leaned under a dead tree, looking tired, with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. Xiao Yunyan walked to her side, saw that her whole body was shrinking, so she went to her bag and took a felt blanket to wrap her, and when she approached her, she saw her eyelids moving slightly, and there were tears on her eyelashes and the corners of her eyes. Xiao Yunyan said in a low voice: "I thought you were asleep." Refusing to say a word along the way, are you angry? ”
Helian Yi turned his head to the other side, still refusing to pay attention to him.
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Yunyan pinched her face and turned it to her side, and saw that although her eyes were closed, tears were flowing down her eyes.
"Still angry with me about daytime?"
Helian Yi finally opened his eyes slowly, stared at Xiao Yunyan blankly, and complained in a low voice: "I'm just a prisoner of His Highness, how can I be angry with His Highness." ”
Xiao Yunyan sat beside her and gently wiped away her tears, "I never treated you as a prisoner, I just wanted to hold you in the palm of my hand and take care of you carefully." ”
Helian Yi had tears in the corners of his eyes, but he sneered, "Your Highness just uses me as a plaything in your palm, and how can you take my feelings into account." ”
Xiao Yunyan stared at her, "If I really didn't care about your feelings, you would have become my person a long time ago, and I have done my utmost patience with you." ”
"You can't trust me all the time, and you don't care to work with me, why do you insist on keeping me by your side?"
"If I don't keep you by my side, you will definitely be sent to Xikang by Helian Dingbang again, but I'm afraid that you won't even be able to see Helian Dingbang's face. By my side, I will at least let you see him again in the future, or you won't even know how he died. ”
"Your Highness is right, if I go to Xikang, it may not be a bad thing."
"What? Isn't that the shortcut you're talking about? ”
"Yes. Now that the covenant between them has been nullified, and if I take the initiative to enter Xikang, I will surely be able to incite the king of Xikang to turn his sword against Helian Dingbang and let him help me regain everything. ”
"No, if I hadn't met you, it would be a shortcut. But now it's different, I can't tolerate other men touching your fingers, you can only be my Xiao Yunyan's woman. ”
"I'm not anyone's woman. I am the daughter of Emperor Xia Wen, the eldest princess of the Xianxia Dynasty, and revenge is my only belief now. ”
"Now that I'm dealing with Helian Dingbang, your best choice now is me. That old pervert of King Xikang, I heard that there are groups of concubines and lustful concubines, do you really dare to abuse yourself? ”
"How much is the difference between His Highness and him?"
"Of course there is, you still have your daughter's body, don't you?"
"At least I really want to take care of you, at least he has Zanmon, and he has a group of children, and I don't have a concubine or an heir."
"But you and I have never been fellow travelers."
"I can fulfill your wishes, you and I are both pointing at Helian Dingbang, why are you not on the same path? Besides, if you can't move me, how can you be sure that you can move him? ”
"Since he is lustful, I believe he is easy to deal with."
"It's all old foxes, do you think they can really believe you fledgling yellow-haired girl? It's just for fun. ”
Helian Yi sneered: "It's too, just like Your Highness." ”
Xiao Yunyan looked at her, frowned, hesitated for a while and finally asked: "Then if I agree to your proposal, will you really be willing to sacrifice a city to the enemy country?" ”
"Your Highness seems to have forgotten that I am now a wanted criminal of Helian Dingbang, and I have neither a home nor a country, and the entire Daning Kingdom has nothing to do with my Helian Yi, and Daliang is no longer my enemy country."
"It seems to be." Although Xiao Yunyan nodded again and again, his eyes still showed distrust of He Lianyi, "Then how do you plan to help me?" At the same time, how can I trust you for no other purpose? ”
"I know Your Highness won't trust me easily, but if I really help Your Highness take Qizhou, can Your Highness believe me?"
"That's natural, but I need to know what you're going to do?"
"After His Royal Highness stationed these 2,000 troops in the area of Song County, he asked King Yi to borrow 1,000 soldiers and horses, and set up more pots and stoves along the way, creating the illusion of a large number of troops, and began to pretend to attack the city.
Xiao Yunyan suddenly smiled and said, "Go around, you don't just want to take the opportunity to escape, right?" ”
"If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can send someone to follow me."
"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you two little girls, how can you go? In this way, you can rest for a few more days, and when you are healed, I will send Luo Hu to escort you to Qizhou City. ”
"No, I don't want to get into trouble, I want to leave immediately, in case Du Shaoji finds out the truth. Your Highness, this time I want to show my sincerity with Qizhou City, please pay attention to it. ”
Helian Yi saw that Xiao Yunyan still showed no signs of loosening, and said: "Your Highness only has two thousand soldiers and horses, and losing a hundred is a major loss. It's better to use my method, Bo Yibo. If you don't even trust me, what's the point of keeping me with you? ”
"You are so sick now, this king really doesn't worry about you."
"My illness is the result of a body of worry, if Your Highness is willing to fulfill me, maybe you can cure the disease."
Xiao Yunyan pondered for a while, and finally agreed: "It's okay, after eating, after another hour, we can go to Heming Valley to separate ways, and then I will let Luo Hu send you there." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness, I still have to discuss the details with Your Highness. ”
......
It had been an hour and a half after arriving at Heming Valley, and several people came out of a mountain road, and they heard Luo Hong shouting: "Your Highness, it's time to wait for you." ”
Xiao Yunyan and Luo Hu rushed over and explained to Luo Hong and Luo Hu, but Luo Hong shouted: "This, this is not appropriate, Your Highness, she had so many guards to escort and her relatives to escape, and now you only let Luo Hu go to see him off, I am really afraid that he will not be able to watch people run away." ”
Xiao Yunyan said to Luo Hu: "If she really wants to escape, you will definitely not be able to see it." But you are alone in the enemy camp, everything must be cautious, this king will secretly send a few people to follow you, if you really suffer a plot, it is important to find a way to escape first. ”
Luo Hong didn't understand, "Your Highness, what kind of heart does this He Gongzi have?" Will this Luo Hu come back safe and sound? ”
"We will prepare with both hands, and tomorrow we will divide the army into five routes and ambush around the Qizhou military barracks. As soon as the wind blows, you can find a way to notify us. ”
Luo Hong saw that Xiao Yunyan had already arranged carefully, and asked again: "Your Highness, if she really runs away, are you really willing to let her go?" ”
Xiao Yunyan thought for a long time, and finally said indifferently: "Let her be." ”
Luo Hu said: "Your Highness, it is true that the last general thinks that she is desperate to seek revenge. But Liang and Xia have always been old enemies, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not hold a grudge against His Highness. What this princess of Xia did was really difficult for people to understand. ”
"Don't care what she does. In short, the king did not have much hope for the surrender of the city. The reason why I agreed to her is just to take the opportunity to explore the reality of Qizhou City. ”
Luo Hu responded: "The last general understands." ”
Xiao Yunyan said to Luo Hong again: "Luo Hong, you also bring a few cronies tonight to find a way to blend into Ningjing, and after five days, you will enter the territory of Qizhou with great fanfare, and pretend to be the general of the Ning Army to enter the Qizhou camp from Luoyang." Helian Dingbang's holy decree and military orders are also ready, take them with you, and act carefully so as not to expose them. Remember, all planning must be done at the right time. ”
Luo Hong smiled: "If this thing is true, it is really interesting, and the general will definitely do it well." ”
