"It's just that if you want to guard against the Yong Kingdom, it will be difficult to send troops to Xueyuan. I think that compared with the two, Dayan's safety is more important. We can only wait for the enemy's alliance to be broken before seeking justice for the Queen Mother."
The other officials in the court couldn't help nodding when they heard Fu Zhili's words.
Although some people still felt that Yong Kingdom would not cooperate with Man Rong, more people chose to trust Xiao Yan.
After all, one only needs to check whether the Xuanjia troops led by King Jing of the Yong Kingdom really disappeared from their original station, to be able to determine whether the matter is true or not.
Moreover, Xiao Yan, the proton of the Yong Kingdom, is still in the Yan Kingdom, so why should he deceive the people of the Yan Kingdom?
After a stalemate for a stick of incense, Su Xuan entered the palace and reported that the dark hall had found out that the Xuanjia troops of Yong Kingdom had indeed disappeared half a month ago.
On the front foot, Morton humiliated the Queen Mother with letters and provoked Dayan, and the Xuanjia Army disappeared on the back foot, which proved that what Xiao Yan said was true.
Above the court hall, the pot exploded completely.
"I didn't expect that Yongguo would cooperate with Manrong in a grand manner!"
"Yong State is really a disgrace to the Central Plains. Have they forgotten how the barbarians ravaged the Central Plains people!"
"At first, I thought that Xiao Jichen had always had a good reputation, and he only guarded the border between the Central Plains and Huihe. I didn't expect that he would actually help the evildoers..."
"Hey, you can't say that. It is Xiao Jixing who is cooperating with Man Rong. Xiao Jichen is King Jing, and he can only obey the emperor's will."
The officials in the DPRK discussed again, sighing indignantly one by one.
Now it is not possible to force the battle, instead, we should worry about when Man Rong and Yong Guo will make a move, and whether they will make a move together.
After listening to Xiao Yan's words, Chu Yi quickly realized what was wrong.
Yong Guo and Man Rong teamed up and did not know where they wanted to sneak attack Yan Guo, she believed this sentence.
Because it was like this in the previous life, the two generals of the Yong Kingdom who led the army at that time, one was the dead Xu Xiang, and the other was called Yuan Mo.
But it was King Jing Xiao Jichen who sent the troops, so she didn't believe it no matter what.
Xiao Jichen has been defending Huihe on the border of Yong State. He is in charge of fifty thousand Xuanjia troops and is almost self-reliant. How could he obey Xiao Jixing's order and send troops to Yan State?
The most important thing is that Xiao Yan once told himself that Xiao Jichen is an outlier in the royal family of Yong Kingdom, and the only person who has never hurt him is his Sixth Emperor Uncle.
However, in front of civil and military officials, Chu Yi could not directly ask Xiao Yan.
After listening to Fu Zhili's words, Chu Tingxiao slowly calmed down.
Morton's letter was to challenge Dayan openly and aboveboard, but those secret Yongguo Xuanjia troops hid in the dark like poisonous snakes. If Dayan really sent troops regardless of everything, then they would come out from nowhere and bite Dayan took a sip.
Where is weak and bites.
"Your Majesty, if the Yong Kingdom really wants to cooperate with the barbarians to attack Dayan, the greatest possibility is to drive straight in from the Nanfu." Minister of the Ministry of War said.
"As for the northern mansion, Morton's barbarian soldiers cannot be ignored. Morton dares to be so arrogant, and he must be ready to fight Dayan."
"The barbarians must guard against it, and the Xuanjia army must also guard against it."
Chu Tingxiao took a deep breath, calmed down completely, and issued a decree: "I will pass on my order, all prefectures in the northern prefecture, especially Qingzhou and Liangzhou, which are close to Yongguo, should strengthen their vigilance, and once they discover the movement of the Xuanjia army, they will immediately send troops from Yinzhou support."
"Yes."
"Prince Chu Ye leads the Eight Thousand Yulin Army to reinforce Jianbei Pass...you only need to hold the pass, and you don't have to take the initiative to attack."
Although Chu Ye was unwilling, but in order to take the overall situation into consideration, he could only clap his fists in response.
"Since Yong Guo and Man Rong want to light this fire, then Dayan, I will accompany you to the end!"
On the dragon chair, in the eyes of the emperor dressed in dragon robes, is the determination to look down on the world.
The crown prince will lead the army in three days, and the Taiwei and Cen Zijing will stay behind to ensure the safety of going to Beijing.
When the morning court was over, Chu Yi squatted Xiao Yan directly at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and when he saw someone else appearing, he immediately grabbed his sleeve and pulled him to a corner.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding ministers showed thoughtful expressions.
Oh... the guest of honor...
"Princess, in broad daylight, you and I are different from men and women, what's the point of talking about it." Xiao Yan coughed and said with a straight face.
"I seem to have heard this sentence from Chu Lin's mouth." Chu Yi couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and licked her upper lip that was bitten by someone two days ago. "It turns out that Young Master Xiao still has rules and decency in his heart." What about it? Do you know the current rumors in the court?"
"What rumor?" Xiao Yan looked innocent, facing the girl who was close at hand, his ears turned red quietly, as if he was the one who was being slighted.
Chu Yi threw herself into his arms, just pushed him against a corner of the palace wall, then grabbed his collar, pulled him in front of her, and gently bit his thin lips.
"Everyone says that Xiao Zhizi is my... guest of honor."
The four words that breathed like blue exploded in Xiao Yan's ears.
There was a "boom" in Xiao Yan's mind, and he could only feel Chu Yi's lips that were softer than cotton.
With a glint in his eyes, he easily held down her little hand on his chest, then turned over slightly, and pressed Chu Yi against the wall instead.
In just one breath, the positions of the two were reversed.
He was tall and tall, and the wide cloak completely shrouded Chu Yi in his own shadow.
The few palace people who looked at them curiously couldn't see anything at once, and they cried out regret in their hearts.
Xiao Yan's breathing was short for a moment, and the slender and distinct finger bones lifted Chu Yi's jaw, and he gently lowered it, and said in a low voice: "They are right, the minister is indeed the princess's man."
He has long been willing to be her guest of honor.
After the kiss, Chu Yi's breathing was unsteady, and she put her arm on Xiao Yan's shoulder, panting in a low voice.
She regained her composure, and then asked: "Speaking of business, Xiao Jichen really obeyed Xiao Jixing's order, cooperated with the barbarians, and planned to lead the Xuanjia army to attack Dayan?"
The morning sun was shining brightly, and the girl in front of her had creamy skin, ruddy lips, and a seductive crimson cheek, staring fixedly at him.
Xiao Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a hoarse voice, "This is not the place to talk about serious business."
"That's right." Chu Yi glanced at the palace people coming and going and the ministers, and after thinking about it, she simply dragged Xiao Yan back to Mingyue Pavilion.
"Young Master!" Xian Ying came up excitedly, saw Chu Yi following Xiao Yan, turned around and left excitedly.
The air in spring was humid and pleasant, Chu Yi sat down peacefully, picked up the teacup and poured herself a cup of tea: "Now we can talk about it."
The emotion in Xiao Yan's eyes was dark and deep. He walked up to her, bent down, and gently kissed the girl's soft lips, drawing the shape of her lips bit by bit.
His Ah Yi is much, much sweeter than the sweetest candy in the world.
Chu Yi opened her eyes wide, her apricot pupils quivering slightly: "Aren't you talking about business?"
After a long time, Xiao Yan let go of her reluctantly, with a slightly hoarse voice: "Isn't this a serious matter?"
Chu Yi covered her face, tried her best to calm her disordered breathing, and poured the cool tea into her mouth in one go.
Xiao Yan rubbed the top of her black and smooth hair, and then said lightly:
"Yong Kingdom has indeed cooperated with Man Rong. Morton exchanged the land of one state for Xiao Jixing to send troops to Yan Kingdom. Once there are too many troops going to the North Mansion to support the First Prince, and the capital is empty, Yong Kingdom will take advantage of the vacancy."
Chu Yi frowned slightly: "It was like this in the previous life."
Morton and Xiao Jixing had a good plan. As long as the barbarians attacked the northern border of the Yan Kingdom, the Yong Kingdom would attack the southern border of the Yan Kingdom. When the time came, the north and the south would attack, putting the Yan Kingdom in a difficult situation.
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Yes, it was like this in the previous life."
"But in the previous life, Xu Xiang and Yuan Mo were the leaders. In this life, Xu Xiang is dead, and Yuan Mo doesn't seem to have a good reputation." Chu Yi said.
"So the leader of the army was replaced by Xiao Jichen, what does the princess think is wrong?" Xiao Yan asked back with a smile in his eyes.
He knew that with Chu Yi's intelligence, he had guessed some clues.
"By the way, I forgot to tell the princess one thing. After Morton contacted Xiao Jixing, Xiao Jixing originally wanted to send Yuan Mo to lead the army to cooperate with the barbarians. It was Xiao Jixing who took the initiative to invite Ying, in exchange for the Xuanjia army to go out." Xiao Yan said again.
Volunteering?
Chu Yi thought for a while, and asked, "Prince Jing Xiao Jichen has a very good reputation in the Yong Kingdom, and he would agree to lead the Xuanjia Army to cooperate with the Manrongs to ruin his reputation. Isn't Xiao Jixing surprised?"
Xiao Yan recalled the news he received yesterday, and said: "Xiao Jixing was very surprised, but with his suspicious nature, Xiao Jichen took the initiative to invite the post-war, and he was too happy."
A gleam of light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, she understood!Xiao Jixing thought that Prince Jing was deliberately defiled his own reputation because he was afraid of being accused of great achievements, so even if he was suspicious, he found a good reason for Prince Jing.
"He even named Xiao Jichen the Great General of Zhengyuan."
Chu Yi said slowly: "General Zhengyuan, he recruited the barbarians! It seems that the third thing that I asked my uncle to promise to the emperor before will finally come in handy. Once this fire is ignited... the general trend of the world , will change.”
Xiao Yan walked under the osmanthus tree, a gust of spring breeze caressed his black hair, his eyes were firm and sharp: "In order to make the fire burn more vigorously, I can only add firewood myself."
Chu Yi frowned: "Personally?"
"Xiao Jixing still has doubts about Uncle Six. Morton believes in Xiao Jixing, but he doesn't trust Uncle Six."
"Only the protégé of the Yong State, the minister, got the news of the war between the two countries in advance and fled back to the Yong State, so that everyone could think that... Xiao Jichen really wants to join hands with the Man Rong to attack Dayan." Xiao Yan and Chu Yi said to each other. Watching, every word.
Chu Yi's hand holding the teacup suddenly clenched a little.
Xiao Yan wants to "escape back" to Yong Kingdom?
This fire was burned to a virtual extent. It was true that Xiao Jichen led the Xuanjia Army to hide in the dark, but it was false to cooperate with the barbarians to attack Dayan;
It is true that Xiao Jixing joined hands with Man Rong, but the Xuanjia Army he sent did not necessarily obey his orders;
As for the country of Yan, it is true that the elder brother led the Habayashi Army to support the Beifu, but who said that there are only 8000 people in the Beifu?
The number of Yulin troops is indeed not many. Even if there are defenders in the Beifu, those are the total of the states. This is also the reason why the barbarians were able to successfully attack in the previous life.
The support of the Habayashi Army was overwhelming, enough to make Morton take the risk and attack Jianbei Pass like in his previous life.
But when they really started to attack Jianbei Pass, they would find that the Xuanjia Army of the Yong Kingdom, who were supposed to be their allies... In fact, they were the allies of the Yan Kingdom!
All of this was just Xiao Jichen's personal behavior, and even Xiao Jixing, the emperor of the Yong Kingdom, didn't know about it.
And if Xiao Yan fled back to Yong Kingdom, it would prove to Morton that Yong Kingdom really wanted to help Man Rong, so that Morton would have no scruples at all.
"Have you decided to go?" Chu Yi looked at him and asked.
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes: "Today I will go to see His Majesty and tell you everything. Tomorrow, the princess will get the news that I have escaped."
His eyes softened, and before Chu Yi could speak, he added: "The princess is so weak, she just needs to stay here and wait for the minister to return."
Chu Yi stood up, her eyes were a little sour.
She deliberately did not look at Xiao Yan, and said in a low voice, "I'll ask the Crane Controller to contact Wei Yuanshan."
Xiao Yan sensed Chu Yi's depression, he opened his mouth, and finally decided to show his heart with actions.
"Don't go, Ah Yi."
He clasped her waist with one hand and easily trapped her in his arms with a low voice.
Chu Yi's delicate and charming eyebrows and eyes are even more attractive, her lips are red and her teeth are white, and her almond eyes are water-colored.
Xiao Yan stretched out his fingers and stroked her lips:
"I know that the last thing the princess wants to do is to wait. What's more, the princess is an eagle soaring above the nine heavens. She doesn't have to be confined in the palace like an ordinary woman. Why don't you and I make an agreement... See you in Yedu, okay?"
"How do you see Yedu?"
"Geng Chuan is also in the Xuanjia Army brought by the Sixth Emperor's Uncle this time... I know that the girl the prince likes seems to be Geng Chuan's sister. Propose marriage."
"That's not until you finish the war—well—"
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yan had already pressed her under the osmanthus tree and bit her lip.
He stared at Chu Yi's beautiful apricot eyes, gently grabbed her hand, clasped his fingers to one side, and swallowed her words.
She was like Xiao Yan's favorite peach candy, which was melted by him little by little, and she was taken apart and eaten into his stomach.
Chu Yi had never been kissed by him for so long.
Ah no, not in this life.
It was the first time Xiao Yan kissed her so out of composure, breathing tremblingly and indulging in it, as if he couldn't kiss her enough.
The breeze blew past and entangled their hair, making them inseparable.
*
On that day, Xiao Yan met Chu Tingxiao in secret. The two of them did not know what they said. Someone in the palace saw Xiao Yan walking out of Qianyuan Hall with a gloomy expression.
Chu Yi rushed to the East Palace, and Chu Ye was going to organize the Yulin Army to go to the North Palace tomorrow, and she had to explain something clearly.
"Liu Liu, you didn't lead troops to go out, so what can you explain?" Chu Ye said helplessly.
Chu Yi: "Brother, you are so experienced, have you led soldiers before?"
Chu Ye said: "I have at least familiarized myself with military books, and I will not accept military orders abroad. When I arrive in Beifu, I will hand over all military affairs to my elder brother, and I will never meddle in the war. Besides, I will not go out this time. Xueyuan, just stick to Jianbei Pass, and this Palace will never enter rashly."
Although he has never been a general, he has been a prince for so many years. Although he does not know how to lead troops in battle, he is good at using those who lead troops in battle.
"Don't worry, you Eight Thousand Feather Forest Army, I will definitely love soldiers like children, and bring them back to you whole."
