Chapter 128 His Taste
Chapter 128 His Taste
In Feng'an, in the prince's mansion outside the imperial palace, a man with a jade crown and hair is handling government affairs in front of the desk. Since he won the fight with the elder brother and he was canonized as the prince, because his father's health has been deteriorating, many courts All the government affairs are entrusted to him to handle, and to prevent discord among the royal family, the lights in his study last almost until the ugly hour every night.
At this time, when he was busy with government affairs, someone reported that a secret letter from Yanqing Kingdom was delivered to him.
"Yanqing?" Xiao Zhengyue raised his head, his face was still handsome, but after experiencing the royal family's struggle for power, his eyes were less innocent and more stern.
"Why did you send it to me quietly?" Emperor Yanqing's letter shouldn't be so private and secret.
He had heard about the war between Yanqing and Saimo for a long time, and he also learned that the elder brother had made an agreement with Saimo in private earlier, and even delivered a batch of weapons and iron ore materials to Saimo by water. He also used this secret to enroll in the other party's book during the battle with the big emperor brother.
If it was a letter from Yanqing, he guessed that it was probably related to the forging of weapons from iron ore materials.
"Yes, it's a secret letter. In addition, there is a token. This subordinate recognizes that it looks like His Highness's personal belongings, so I dare to hand over this secret letter." The person who reported it was Xiao Zhengyue His confidant recognized the unusualness of the token at a glance, otherwise he would not have easily handed over the secret letter to Xiao Zhengyue.
"Treasure?" Xiao Zhengyue, who was entangled in tedious government affairs, finally remembered the only time he took the initiative to give someone something close to him as a token, and his tone couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Who is the letter? Where is he? What does he look like?" Sample?"
His confidants were puzzled why Xiao Zhengyue was so eager all of a sudden, and told him honestly: "It seems to be a member of the Zhennan Army, who is waiting in the hall, about thirty years old, simple and honest in appearance, unobtrusive."
Thirty?Unobtrusive?
Xiao Zhengyue guessed that the person who came was probably not Li Yao, his tone cooled down instantly, and he ordered: "Take out the letter and let me have a look."
The confidant immediately presented the letter and token.
The token was the jade pendant that Xiao Zhengyue had given to Li Yao before. Holding the jade pendant in his hand, he opened the secret letter and read it carefully.
From the corner of his heart, he observed Xiao Zhengyue's expression curiously. It stands to reason that it was only a letter. From his point of view, the number of words was not many at all, but Xiao Zhengyue spent an incense stick of time reading this letter. , seemed to read it over and over again, and finally folded the letter carefully to put it in the placket. Could it be that there is something special about this letter?
and……
Why is there a smile on the expression of putting away the letter?Could it be some love letter?His Highness did go to Yanqing Kingdom to discuss important matters before, could it be the girl he met at that time?
Xiao Zhengyue folded the letter and put it in the skirt of his clothes, looked at the jade pendant in his hand, thought for a while, screened his confidants, and wrote a letter with a pen.
About half an hour later, he finished writing the letter. During this period, he thought a lot. He was afraid that Li Yao would be bored if he wrote too many letters, but if he wrote too few letters, he felt that his attitude was a bit perfunctory. After writing the content and checking it several times, I felt that there was no problem with the content, so I asked my confidant to take the letter and jade pendant to the person who came, and asked the other party to send the letter back.
"Let him take the letter and the token back, tell him that I have read the contents of the letter and know about it, and let him tell the owner of the letter that I agree to his conditions, but it will take some time. I will have someone send it to him, just let him pay attention to send someone to receive it." Then he specifically instructed, "Remember that the letter must be sent to the person with this token! Otherwise, the transaction will be cancelled!!"
The confidant was at a loss, but quickly responded, put away the letter and jade pendant and handed it to the visitor.Only then did he suddenly realize that the letter was originally about a transaction, and at the same time he was puzzled by Xiao Zhengyue's gentle smile when he saw the letter.
His Highness took the position of prince, and the emperor didn't know how many days he could last. He didn't know how many people wanted him to pull him down. At this moment, he took the risk and privately transported iron ore materials and weapons to the Zhennan army. Make him incredible.What kind of conditions are there for His Highness to take such a risk?
When Xiao Zhengyue ordered him to do this, facing the curious eyes of his confidants, he replied calmly: "It's just an ordinary price." Seeing his subordinate's expression of surprise, he wanted to persuade him, he waved his hand to stop the other's words, and specially ordered One sentence: "This matter must be kept from my mother and concubine, and done in private. If she finds out, you should know the consequences." The latter sentence was full of chills.
The confidant didn't dare to say more, so he could only go down and be ordered to finish the matter as soon as possible.
After his confidant left, Xiao Zhengyue took out the letter that he had put in his arms. The letter had been stuck to his chest. The paper was already stained with the temperature of his chest. , the content is actually not sentimental, but just tells the identity and purpose of the other party.But the moment he read the letter, he still felt a burst of joy in his heart. After so long, it was great to be able to see the other party's handwriting. Even if it was just a matter of business, it was still a form of connection.
Touching the handwriting with his fingertips, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, he smiled sincerely, and murmured: "That's great...you've become a general..." Then he frowned, followed by worry, " But... I hope you are safe on the battlefield... I can go see you after everything is over..."
------------
When Wei Junyu issued an imperial decree to send the imperial army to wipe out the rebel party's Zhennan army, Qi Muye took advantage of the situation and played the name of the Qing emperor, announcing a full-scale confrontation and war with the imperial court.
After the conscription in each city was over, the iron ore materials and weapons promised by Xiao Zhengyue were on their way to Tiansuo Pass, and the food, grass and money privately funded by Nan Wang had also arrived one after another, and Sai Mo had already signed the compensation. The city treaty, the horses to be paid also followed the messenger to Yizhou.
Everything is being prepared and the war is going on, all they have to do is go all the way south and attack Yanjing directly!
The envoys from Saimo came to Yizhou with [-] horses and horse grass. In addition to the horses to fulfill the compensation agreement, they also had to bring several hostages back to Saimo.
Fan Yizhi was ordered to be in charge of this matter, and he welcomed the envoy of Saimo into the general's mansion to wait. After checking the number of horses and horse grass, he went to personally pick up the hostages as a show of sincerity, so that they could be handed over face-to-face. Messenger of Seymour.
Just after the two parties reached an agreement, the hostages were actually allowed to walk around the house, and even go out accompanied by soldiers, and they had tried their best to meet their conditions.
But Ji Wenbo hated Fan Yizhi's punch, but after all, Yizhou is the territory of the Zhennan Army, and the house is full of soldiers, so he can't do anything too outrageous, so he can only suppress his anger, and seeing Fan Yizhi sneer, disdainful His eyes flicked past him, and he walked straight to the messenger.
Although Princess Yin Nanyun was a hostage, he did not receive any special treatment after being captured after the city was broken. At this moment, he was only happy to be able to return to Saimo. At the same time, he searched around, but he could not see Li Mo, and asked Fan Yizhi dissatisfiedly. : "Why isn't Junshi Li here? Why didn't you bring him here?"
The envoy of Sai Mo hurriedly interjected: "Princess, please calm down, the military division may have some matters to stay here, so..."
"Is there anything better than going back to Saimo? Isn't it already scheduled to go back today? One less person means that the other party intends to break the agreement!" Yin Nanyun said in an embarrassing tone.
Envoy Sai Mo's expression was awkward, and he wanted to dissuade Yin Nanyun with a good voice, but Ji Wenbo couldn't bear to pester Yin Nanyun any longer, and directly told the truth: "Because the agreement didn't let him go back at all!"
Yin Nanyun was surprised, looked at the messenger, and asked: "Really?" Seeing that the messenger nodded with difficulty, he looked at Fan Yizhi again, but Fan Yizhi didn't speak.
"Why?! Why did you treat Li Junshi like this?!" Yin Nanyun was furious.
Ji Wenbai sneered, cast a sidelong glance at Fan Yizhi, and replied to Yin Nanyun's words: "Why? He's not from Saimo at all!"
Fan Yizhi also looked back at Ji Wenbai, he knew what Ji Wenbai was thinking, he suspected that Li Mo was a spy sent by Yanqing.
In the end, although Yin Nanyun was still entangled in Li Mo's affairs, he was still sent back by force sent by Ji Wenbai.
Yin Nanyun looked at him tearfully, and finally begged: "I want to see him for the last time!"
Fan Yizhi pursed her lips, turned her face away, and didn't answer.
Is it the last side?It's long gone.
On that day, he agreed to the other party's request and would call Li Baixi over, and the other party told him everything.
The former Yanjing ghost operator, the eldest son of Li Baixi, who fled Yanjing with the second prince.
All of this is still somewhat unacceptable to him, let alone his father Li Baixi.
He had no way of knowing what Li Mo and Li Baixi talked about that night. He only knew that the light on the window paper lasted until the next morning. Li Baixi came out from the door. His temples were gray, his back seemed to be crushed like a camel, his eyes were lax, and he walked out of the courtyard slowly.
When he came to Li Mo's room again, he knocked lightly on the door, but no one answered.The other party's body was still warm, but lost any breath of life. This time, there was no silver mask on his face, and the scar on his face was clearly visible, but there was a gentle smile on his lips, serene and gentle.
At the very least, he died as Li Mo's identity, not as a Sai Mo army division.
This can be regarded as the best ending for him who was abandoned by both parties.
Perhaps out of an inexplicable sense of pity for the death of a rabbit and a fox, Fan Yizhi secretly buried Li Mo's body on a hill, so that he could at least have a place to stay in Yanqing.
When I saw Li Baixi again, this arrogant literati and official in the past, his face looked tired from the vicissitudes of life, and the gray hair on his temples was still conspicuous, so he was surprised when he saw him.
Fan Yizhi knew what he was worried about, and took the initiative to say, "I promised him before that I wouldn't say anything."
Li Baixi breathed a sigh of relief, and when Fan Yizhi was about to leave, he explained in a low voice as if to relieve the burden in his heart: "I never told his mother... I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it... After all..."
She used to be the young and prestigious son in Yanjing, and also the eldest son she was most proud of.
Fan Yizhi didn't know what to say, he shouldn't have intervened in these matters, people left the tea, Sai Mo's defeat was already settled, no one would care about the status of Sai Mo's army division, and these people were the only ones he could remember.
Yizhou has a large plain, which is suitable for training cavalry. Fan Yizhi was given a new task. He stayed in Yizhou temporarily to train cavalry, and served as the left forward general of the new cavalry battalion. He trained the basic cavalry skills. Enter the cavalry battalion under Song Ruyu.And Gu Xianshu used to be a bandit dog-headed military commander, and he was familiar with Song Ruyu's usual methods of training bandits. Because he believed in Song Ruyu's ability to lead the army, he decided to stay in Yizhou to give advice to Fan Yizhi when training the cavalry at the right time, and then join Song Ruyu after a while .
When the Zhennan Army and the imperial army went south to fight, Tiansuoguan, as the rear of the Zhennan Army, mainly accepted the goods transported by land, and at the same time sent the received grain and grass to the frontline fighting army. Iron ore materials were urgently forged into weapons, and the arsenal was expanded to meet the needs of the war in the south.
In addition to batches of iron ore being transported from Feng'an, there were also letters one after another.
Reluctantly, Qi Mu handed the letter to Li Yao, and said, "Here, here it is, this time it seems to be a little heavier."
Since the letter written by Li Yao was sent to Feng'an State, Xiao Zhengyue, apart from writing a letter and returning the jade pendant at the beginning, suddenly figured out that he could use the iron ore to deliver the envelope to Li Yao by the way. After getting it, he began to write letters to Li Yao.If it weren't for the long distance from Feng'an to Yanqing and the limited number of iron ore deliveries, he might have brought all kinds of specialties from Feng'an to Li Yao.
Naturally, Li Yao couldn't detect Qi Muye's abnormality, so after receiving the letter, he opened it and read it face to face.
Li Yao read the letter very fast, almost ten lines at a glance, while Qi Muye was always paying attention to Li Yao's expression, wanting to know what was written in the letter, pretending to ask casually: "What's the matter?"
Li Yao gave a "hmm", and then said that the contents of the envelope were poured out. It was a small amulet, not a special one, and it could be seen that he had put some thought into asking for it.
Qi Muye asked: "That's all? Nothing else?" Why did he think it couldn't be so simple.
Li Yao said, "Also, an axe." Just as he was speaking, the soldiers reported that there was a treasure chest in the iron ore delivery for Li Yao.
When Li Yao took out the ax from the treasure chest, Qi Muye instantly recognized that it was the ax given to Li Yao by Wei Junyu when he was in Yanjing. When Li Yao escaped from Yanjing, he gave the ax to Li Yao Stuffed it into the treasure chest, but got out of the car later because the ax was eye-catching, so he left it in Xiao Zhengyue's treasure chest and let him take it back to Feng'an Kingdom. Xiao Zhengyue only found the ax after he went back, thinking Seeing that Li Yao liked it, someone sent it back.
Li Yao put the ax in his hand and weighed it a few times, as if he was looking for a feel. Qi Muye couldn't tell from his face whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, because Li Yao had no superfluous expressions at all.
This ax is different from the ax Qi Muye sent. Qi Muye's ax is bigger, longer and heavier, and it is full of momentum when swung. It is formulated, so it has a more powerful sense.The ax that Wei Junyu rewarded was made by Feng Anguo, which is more portable and dexterous, and has a more beautiful appearance. The long handle is inlaid with decorative gemstones, which makes people unable to take their eyes off it.
Seeing Li Yao swinging the ax a few times, Qi Muye couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to take it to the battlefield?" Although he felt that Li Yao preferred the practicality of the ax and the sense of intimidation of the swing, But there was still a hint of vinegar in his tone.
He didn't want his ax to be replaced by Xiao Zhengyue's, it always made him a little uneasy.
"No," Li Yao flatly denied, put the ax back into the treasure chest, and said calmly, "I already have you."
Qi Muye was taken aback, and looked at Li Yao in disbelief. He never thought that Li Yao would say such love words, and an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face, and said, "Say it again?"
Li Yao was puzzled and said, "You don't agree? Actually, I can carry two axes with both hands..."
"No, it's enough for you to have me!" Qi Muye responded forcefully, his eyes fell on the amulet Xiao Zhengyue gave him.
Li Yao noticed his gaze and picked up the amulet. Just now, the love intelligence brain told him the meaning of the amulet, but he always believed that the only person who could protect him was himself, and it was useless to rely on these ethereal ghosts and gods.So he wanted to put away the amulet, but Qi Muye called him back.
"and many more."
"What?" The jealousy in Qi Muye's tone was too strong, and now Li Yao could sense some of it, and the love intelligence brain explained that this was an unhappy phenomenon.
Love Wisdom Brain: "Love is possession, there will be a kind of animal psychology, and this person will be divided into his own."
Li Yao: But I am not a cargo.
Love Wisdom Brain: "So feelings are selfish, and no one can tell whether it is right or wrong. You have to understand this phenomenon, and occasionally you have to know how to be gentle, so that men can't leave you."
Li Yao found it a bit difficult to understand, but it was relatively simple to do. Anyway, he didn't really need this amulet, so he simply said, "If you don't like it, I won't wear it."
Qi Muye was once again surprised by Li Yao's attitude, he had hardly seen Li Yao like this before, but he didn't stop him with the same attitude as he did with the axe, but took the amulet in Li Yao's hand and said, "No...you should Put it on. I was negligent, no matter it is useful or not, if you wear this on the battlefield, it will make people feel more at ease."
It doesn't matter who gave it to him, he always wanted Li Yao to be safe on the battlefield.
"Let me help you pin it on your waist."
"En." Li Yao responded.
Qi Muye lowered his head and tied it around Li Yao's waist. When he looked up, he saw Li Yao's rare docile eyebrows. Thinking of those rare love words just now, a corner of his heart collapsed and softened. Inside the scabbard, he could kiss the brow with just a slight bow.
"Santu!" He suddenly called out the alias.
Li Yao raised his head to look at him slightly, and said, "Something..." The following words were blocked by his lips, no longer as if he kissed the corner of his mouth gently that night, but his lips met, burying all Li Yao's words in him in the lips.
His lips were hotter than Li Yao's. Li Yao's lips were slightly lacking in temperature, just as indifferent as his own. After their lips touched, seeing that Li Yao didn't resist, he hesitated and stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked each other. His pink lips, without any smell, were so clean and pure that he couldn't help but want to go deeper.
Li Yao's lips were slightly parted because of talking, and the tip of his tongue could easily explore the lip meat in the tooth shell, as if tasting a good delicacy, the tip of his tongue carefully licked the tender lip meat of the other party.
Just when he was fascinated, Li Yao stretched out his hand and pushed him away.
He looked at Li Yao with a confused face. Li Yao's eyes were still clear, but there was a faint mist that disappeared so quickly that it was impossible to catch.
"Someone is here." Li Yao said without any fluctuations in his tone, as if the distracted scene hadn't happened at all, making Qi Muye almost think it was just a dream.
Sure enough, the next moment was a soldier reporting outside the door.
"Master Hou, general! The scouts report back!"
