I brought down Bai Yueguang by selling miserably

Qi Jue stretched out his hand involuntarily, brushed the end of Su Mingyu's eyes with his warm fingertips, and wiped away the corners of his eyes silently.

Huai Zhao deliberately lowered his volume, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at the collapsed part of the bed.

Su Mingyu knew what he was thinking, and said: "He drank the decoction to help sleep, and he couldn't wake up for a while."

Huai Zhao stood up, and said: "For the matter of the capital, I thought it was Ning Wang Li Yuxuan outside the city who was about to make a move, and took advantage of the vacancy to enter. I never thought that there would be a day when I was liberated from the Great Xiao."

Thinking of the past, Huai Zhao couldn't help crying, Su Mingyu took Zhang Bupa to help him wipe away his tears.Huai Zhao felt a little embarrassed, and quickly stopped the sadness in his heart.Su Mingyu then said: "Now the foundation of the court is not stable, everything is hard to say."

Huai Zhao also knew in his heart that Li Lan still had the back card of Mu Yunshen in his hand, otherwise he would not have come all the way to the border.Even without Li Lan, all the princes and kings were not vegetarians.

Even if the descendants of the Great Xiao Dynasty took back what once belonged to them, in the eyes of Daliang's supporters, it would be a dishonorable name after all.

At this time, if the princes from all walks of life took the opportunity to attack, not only would they be famous, but they could also take the opportunity to seize the throne on the grounds that Li Lan was dead.

It's not that Su Mingyu didn't have this consideration in his heart, so he left a large number of soldiers and horses in the imperial city.

Huai Zhao looked at Su Mingyu, and understood that the highness in front of him was definitely not here to simply reminisce about the past.

If you want to regain all the territory of the Great Xiao and suppress all forces, you must have enough people.

At this moment, the only forces that can be borrowed most are himself and Mou Shangping, who were generals in the Great Xiao Dynasty in the past.

"Your Highness came here for a soldier talisman?"

"Yes. But it's not just for the military talisman." Su Mingyu lowered his voice and said, "I want to capture the twelve cities at the border and force them to surrender."

His jade-like clear voice flowed like moonlight in the night: "In this way, the frontier will have the spare power to call out soldiers and horses."

Huai Zhao sighed, "Your Highness, the situation here is probably much more complicated than you imagined."

Su Mingyu looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.

Huai Zhao said: "Mu Yunshen doesn't look like a city mansion. In fact, he has always arranged Mou Shangping in the most remote place. Shangping only has 1 horses in his hands. Most of the fighting is street fighting.

While Mu Yunshen was on guard against Huang Qi's army, he also prevented his position in the army from being unstable.The border has not been stabilized. Li Lan's lack of funding from the court is one aspect, and this is another aspect. "

Huai Zhao sighed and said, "Although I stay by his side, I have no real power in my hands, and there is still one person watching me."

Hearing what he said, Su Mingyu judged: "But compared to Vice General Mou, he still trusts you more."

"It's probably because I'm old and I don't have the strength to rebel. But he doesn't trust me at all." Huai Zhao said: "If something happens to him, the first choice for successor is naturally Qin Cheng."

"How about Qin Cheng?"

"Qincheng is aggressive, he is not a qualified general." Huai Zhao said: "But this son is a descendant of the general family, and he has a lot of kung fu. When he attacked Yanyun City, he rushed into the hundred-man formation and took down Huang Qijun's deputy general Zhang. Biao's head."

Su Mingyu pondered for a moment, and said: "Mu Yunshen must know his temperament, so he intends to entrust the heavy responsibility to him. I'm afraid it's not just because he really doesn't have a more suitable candidate under his command, but also because he and Mu Yunshen have a deep friendship."

"It's just what His Highness thought. Although Qin Cheng was a general, he was young and vigorous. When he was in the barracks, the other lieutenants didn't think highly of him. Only Mu Yunshen gave him careful cultivation." Huai Zhao continued: "It wasn't until he captured Yanyun City and made great contributions that his position in the army gradually stabilized."

"So, he is not a difficult person to deal with." Su Mingyu said calmly.

Huai Zhao knew that Su Mingyu already had an idea in his heart, but since he didn't tell him, he didn't need him to come up with this plan.

Although he is bold and unrestrained, he always does things with care, so he didn't pursue further, and chatted with Su Mingyu about the past.

"Back then, Li Yong left me and Mou Shangping because the current dynasty lacked manpower and was in urgent need of good generals. When the new emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world, many old officials from the previous dynasty were also retained."

Huai Zhao and Su Mingyu found a place to sit down.

Su Mingyu stood up and poured sober tea for Huai Zhao himself. Huai Zhao was so flattered that he refused again and again, but in the end he couldn't refuse, and respectfully took the cup and drank it down.

Su Mingyu answered: "Li Yong's idea is correct. Unfortunately, after the foundation is stabilized, it is quite a headache to get rid of them or step down from power. Li Lan is not good at managing political affairs."

There is still some room for saying that he is not good at handling political affairs. Li Lan has indulged in wine and sex in the past few years and neglected political affairs.

Not to mention that some of the former courtiers were loyal to the old lord, but all the newly appointed officials with a bit of youthful ambition were quite critical of Li Lan's behavior.

Li Lan knew about this secretly, and often woke up from the warm and fragrant nephrite at night.Although he is fatuous, he cherishes his life and understands the need to promote his power.

In order to save effort, but also for the sake of peace of mind, let others be relatives.Many stupid people climbed to various official positions by relying on their nepotism, which almost caused chaos of the dictatorship of foreign relatives.

"Su Mingzhe and a group of civil servants stayed from this period, and they managed to maintain the chaotic situation of the government." Su Mingyu's gaze fell lightly into the distance: "They are loyal to Great Xiao, and they are also loyal to the people of Great Xiao."

"Mingzhe, back then he was the youngest number one scholar in the Great Xiao." Huai Zhao recalled what happened back then, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"He is also the youngest governor of Dianzhou in history." Su Mingyu talked about Su Mingzhe with a gentler voice: "He has done a lot of practical things for the people of Dianzhou. dismissed."

The red candle peeled off all over the ground, Huai Zhao got up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, if I don't go back, Mu Yunshen should be suspicious."

Su Mingyu nodded in understanding, he raised the curtain and sent Huai Zhaogong out.

The night was already deep, Su Mingyu sat down beside Qi Jue's bed, and stretched out his hand to cover the back of Qi Jue's warm hand.

The warmth of a living person made him feel at ease.

When he thought that this was the temperature radiating from Qi Jue's body, he felt even closer.

He looked at Qi Jue silently for a while, then took off his coat, went to bed and put Qi Jue's lips in his mouth, grabbing his body temperature.

It wasn't until his body was covered with Qi Jue's breath that he found a comfortable position and fell asleep with his arms around him.

When Qi Jue woke up, he had a headache. It was the first time he slept so late after being drunk, even after noon.A hangover doesn't even make sense in this situation.

Maybe the wine at the border is too strong?

"Brother, does your head still hurt?" Su Mingyu asked Qi Jue's situation in a low voice, and helped him rub his temples.

Before Qi Jue could figure it out, he saw Su Mingyu gently surrounding him, whispering in his ear, "What should I do, I want to hide in Brother Qi's arms and act like a spoiled child, but also want to make such a beautiful Brother Qi Take full possession and want you to be mine forever and ever."

There is a little softness in the cold voice, as if soaked in warmth by love.

"You are so perverted." Qi Jue smiled, and then said with some sincerity: "Me too."

Qi Jue followed Su Mingyu's gaze, stretched out his fingers to caress his cheek, and leaned over to kiss him.

Both of them were young, they rolled into a ball very quickly, Qi Jue's hand went back and forth into Su Mingyu's clothes.

"Brother, focus on attacking." Su Mingyu panted softly, "I'm ticklish."

Qi Jue was a little hesitant in the movements of his hands, he felt sorry for him in his heart, even if he changed from touching to pinching, it didn't take much effort.

Su Mingyu felt more and more unbearable, the place touched by Qi Jue's fingertips was itchy with a little bit of pain, not only did not overwhelm the itching, it also seemed that the place was numb.

Before, he could only hold back his laughter, but now he is a bit dumbfounded.

Su Mingyu felt that he couldn't take it anymore, he endured it hard, and the panting sound between his lips and teeth became heavier: "Brother Qi, you are too bad."

Su Mingyu Junyi's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there were some physiological tears on his eyelids, which added a little bit of vulnerability to him.

Qi Jue stretched out his hand involuntarily, brushing the end of Su Mingyu's eyes with his warm fingertips, and silently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The two settled each other, and cleaned up again.

Su Mingyu's neck was hung with a drop or two of wet water. He buried his head in Qi Jue's arms, hugged his waist, and called out in a muffled voice: "Brother Qi."

Qi Jue rubbed his hair and comforted him softly.

Su Mingyu shamefully found out that he likes to be hurt, he would rather let Qi Jue be rough with him, in exchange for Qi Jue being more indulgent and tender to him for a moment.

Qi Jue didn't know this, he simply thought it was normal to cherish the one he loved.

"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll get you some dinner." Qi Jue asked in Su Mingyu's ear.

"It seems that you can only eat sesame cakes and vegetable soup here." Su Mingyu finally had a smile on his face.

"Maybe I can burn the cake a little bit, it might taste better." Qi Jue couldn't help teasing him.

"Then brother, be careful, don't burn yourself." Su Mingyu said endlessly.

"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?" Qi Jue let go of him, and put the square pillow into his arms: "Well, a substitute."

"I don't want this, this one is fragrant and soft without my brother."

"Stop talking nonsense." Qi Jue pinched Su Mingyu's face, got up and walked out of the tent.

He raised the curtain and almost bumped into Ye Xuanwen who was walking towards him.

"Brother Qi, I made you hangover soup." Ye Xuanwen was carrying a pot of soup, his face was slightly flushed by the wind: "It's just that I didn't find time to give it to you."

Although Qi Jue had woken up a long time ago, it was Ye Xuanwen's kindness after all, so he accepted it.

He originally wanted Ye Xuanwen to come in and talk, but when he thought of Su Mingyu and how jealous Su Mingyu was before, he felt something was wrong.

The two stood in a stalemate at the door for a moment, which was quite funny.

"Brother Qi, don't you..." Ye Xuanwen's eyes dimmed a bit, before he finished speaking, Su Mingyu tied up his clothes and took him out.

"Why did you come out?" Qi Jue looked at Su Mingyu.

"I still want to go with you."

Qi Jue took a few glances at him, then stretched out his hand to twist his coat: "Well, put on more clothes."

Su Mingyu went inside again.

Qi Jue reached out to take the soup pot from Ye Xuanwen's hand, and said, "Thank you, I'll return it to you later."

"En." Ye Xuanwen responded.

"Let's go." Su Mingyu passed by Qi Jue's side and poked his elbow.

Qi Jue went into the room to put things, and quickly walked a few steps to catch up with Su Mingyu. The wind was blowing a little chills, Qi Jue naturally took his hand and asked him in a low voice: "By the way, I never asked you , Is it time for the cold poison in your stomach to explode?"

Su Mingyu didn't tell Qi Jue that he had an attack in the middle of the night two days ago, and it was relieved with poison, so he could only deal with it vaguely: "The number of attacks has decreased now."

Qi Jue was not at ease, and he didn't want to speculate that he was deceiving him for no reason, so he said: "Go back to Qiongqi Mountain and let Grandpa Zu Zhi check you more carefully."

"Well. Brother Qi, I'll listen to you."

Ye Xuanwen had already returned to his tent, he lifted the curtain to watch their leaving back from a distance, his blood surged up, and was blown by the cold wind again, the cold and heat clashed, and he developed a fever that night.

While tossing and turning, Li Lan heard the movement outside the tent, and called the guards of the Imperial Forest Army: "What happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Ye Xuanwen had a fever at night, why did it wake up His Majesty." The guard of the Imperial Forest Army said solemnly, "I'll hurry up and calm those people down."

"Ye Xuanwen has a fever, Qi Jue didn't go to see him?" Li Lan asked the imperial guards.

"It's a quiet night, probably because I haven't received any news yet."

"Oh." Li Lan responded.

Ever since Su Mingyu surrendered, Li Lan didn't doubt much about his relationship with Qi Jue.

In his mind, Su Mingyu is now a grasshopper standing on the same line as himself, and Ye Xuanwen is the one who should be eliminated.

He has a close relationship with Qi Jue, if he helps Qi Jue at the moment of life and death, then his success will fall short.

"Come on, follow me over there to have a look." Li Lan put on his robe, rolled over and got out of bed.

"Yes." The imperial guards followed closely behind.

Under the dim candlelight, Ye Xuanwen's lips were as pale as white paper. Just as several doctors accompanying the army prescribed him a prescription, they saw Li Lan rushing in from outside the tent in a hurry.

"See Your Majesty."

"How is he?" Li Lan asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's just a common cold, just drink a few medicines and you'll be fine."

"Well, step back." Li Lan said coldly.

Li Lan's personality was cloudy and uncertain, the doctors accompanying the army did not dare to say anything, and hurriedly retreated from the tent.

The guards of the Royal Forest Army looked up at Li Lan cautiously: "According to His Majesty..."

Li Lan lifted Ye Xuanwen's quilt and pulled off the scarf from his forehead: "Bring me a bucket of cold water."

"Yes."
