"Yeah!" The four little girls nodded fiercely, and a hint of hatred welled up in their originally pure eyes.
"Zhuifeng!" Suddenly, a clear and cold voice sounded. Tianwen stood at the door and looked at Zhuifeng with some displeasure, "Come in!"
Zhuifeng immediately followed in.
In the room, Zhuifeng placed the strand of hair in front of Tianwen, "Master, are you going to be soft on that woman? In today's battle, if it weren't for her, Yue Nanchen would have already become a wronged soul in the shield formation. She is the one who destroyed everything! Master, just give the order and have your subordinates kill her!"
Tianwen raised her beautiful eyes and stared at him coldly, "Zhuifeng, you once swore to follow her forever. Have you forgotten? Do you want to kill your master?"
Zhuifeng said coldly, "My Lord, that's because she is a saint, a lady, that's why Zhuifeng and his brothers followed her, but now..."
"Everyone has their own aspirations. I said this a long time ago. It's just that you and your brothers didn't take it to heart!"
Zhuifeng was stunned, "Could it be that the master had known that this day would come?"
Tian Wen shook his head and closed his eyes quietly, “There are some things no one can predict. I was able to control the world before because I could stay out of it. Now…” He paused, as if he didn’t want to continue, and just sat quietly in front of the window.
Zhuifeng seemed to understand Tianwen's feelings and whispered, "My Lord, those who achieve great things do not care about trivial matters. You have taught us this before. Why are you hesitating now?"
Tianwen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhuifeng dimly, "Are the lives of thousands of people a trivial matter?"
Zhuifeng was stunned, but soon he whispered, "The bloodshed and sacrifice now are for the peace and happiness in the future, my lord, you cannot waver!
”
Tian Wen seemed to be tired and waved his hand, "Go down, let me think about it!"
Zhuifeng seemed to want to say something, but seeing Tianwen’s determined expression, he had to say goodbye.
At the top of the mountain, Yue Nanchen held Shui Yao's hand with one hand, and said passionately, "Yao'er, I seem to have returned to the time when I first went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen. I was terrified, but at the moment of victory, I felt extremely relieved!"
"Are you afraid too?" Shui Yao let him hold her hand and glanced at him sideways.
"Yes! When I was thirteen, my father asked me to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. At that time, I was not even as tall as a warhorse, and the heavy armor made it difficult for me to raise my head. Listening to the laughter of the enemy generals, I could only pretend to be calm. From that moment on, I fell in love with the cruel way of killing!"
He smiled faintly, "But I didn't expect that I would have you to help me on the battlefield this time. When I was trapped in the shield formation and your voice rang out, my heart felt a calmness I had never felt before!" Yue Nanchen turned his head and looked at him, his dark pupils shining slightly.
Shui Yao lay down, pulled her hand out of his palm, put it behind her head, and looked at the night sky. "I will help you under certain conditions. Don't forget the three conditions you promised me!"
Yue Nanchen nodded, "I know, I can't let you help me forever, I still have to think of a solution to crack the shield array!"
Shui Yao looked at him and could clearly sense Yue Nanchen's relief. Perhaps today's battle had restored some of his confidence! However, the duel with Tian Wen still forced him to not be careless.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, which was particularly loud on this cold earth.
"Master, it's bad. The army of Miluo is gathering on the border. It seems that they are going to harm Nanyue!" Bai Ren turned over and said from afar.
Kneeling down in the distance, he said loudly.
Yue Nanchen stood up suddenly, "A Luo is finally going to take action. The Mi Luo Kingdom has waited long enough for this day!"
Shui Yao frowned slightly. She didn't expect A Luo to take advantage of the situation and start a war. There are spies in the court. Now Nanyue is surrounded by enemies. I'm afraid...
"Master, what should we do?" Bai Ren whispered. For the first time, there was a hint of panic in his words.
Although he is from Louxi, he was born in Nanyue. Now Nanyue is already surrounded by enemies and is in tatters. I am afraid...
"Let's go back. I want you to explain the whole story in detail!" Yue Nanchen strode forward, displaying his lightness skills, and flew down from the foothills like a roc spreading its wings, sitting steadily on the horse's back.
Bai Ren agreed and followed closely behind, and the two left.
Shui Yao stood on the foot of the mountain, looking at the two people's departing backs calmly, and sighed softly. It was indeed a turbulent time. She didn't know when she would have the chance to start her great career in peace and quiet!
In Nanyue's capital, the news that the Miro Kingdom took the opportunity to launch a war also reached the imperial city.
"What? This A Luo actually..." Yue Nanxuan jumped down from the dragon throne and rushed to Jiang Yan, staring at him fiercely, wishing that Jiang Yan in front of him was A Luo and strangled his neck immediately!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Jiang Yan immediately took two steps back. "Now the rebellion of the Giant Clam and Louxi Kingdom has not been quelled, and with the addition of the Miro Kingdom, Nanyue is afraid that this time..."
"Shut up your crow mouth!" Yue Nanxuan stared at Jiang Yan fiercely. "Nan Chen has already gone to Louxi Country, and the situation is basically settled. As for the Giant Clam Country, let them toss around for now. Sooner or later, we will deal with them! What I am most worried about is Mi
Luoguo, Nanyue and Miluoguo got married not long ago, but the two countries went to war, so the situation of Nanhan..."
Jiang Yan sneered secretly, "Your Majesty, you don't have time to care about the princess right now. You need to come up with a complete strategy! In my opinion, Louxi Country may not be what Your Majesty wants!
Yue Nanchen was already a commoner and had no military power, but he was still able to command the three armies. Moreover, as soon as he arrived, he killed General Pang Dayuan and even imprisoned the left and right vanguards appointed by the emperor himself.
It is obvious that he still holds a grudge against the emperor for ordering him to be deprived of his position as prince. I am afraid that even if Louxi Kingdom is pacified, Yue Nanchen will become the biggest hidden danger to Nanyue and the emperor's biggest enemy!"
Yue Nanxuan suddenly stared at Jiang Yan and stopped talking. The ambiguous look made Jiang Yan feel uneasy. He smiled awkwardly, trying to look normal, and asked respectfully, "Why does the emperor look at me like this?"
Yue Nanxuan sneered and paced back and forth in front of him, "Prime Minister Jiang, I don't know why, but I have been feeling very uneasy these past few days. The enemies in the open are not scary, but the enemies hiding in the dark are scary, don't you think?"
Jiang Yan was stunned and smiled stiffly, "What does the emperor mean? What enemy in the dark? Is there a rebellion in the court?"
Yue Nanxuan stopped in front of him, his eyes cold, "Nanyue is in danger now. I am afraid that someone in the court will take the opportunity to start a rebellion. If that happens, Nanyue will be in real danger! Prime Minister Jiang, as the head of all officials, must take good care of this for me!"
Jiang Yan knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, rest assured. Even if I have to sacrifice my old bones, I will definitely help Your Majesty solve his problems!"
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, I'm relieved. Prime Minister Jiang, please get up quickly. How can you perform such a great ceremony?" Yue Nanxuan laughed.
, stepped forward and helped Jiang Yan up.
Jiang Yan raised his eyes and looked at Yue Nanxuan's meaningful smile. His heart couldn't help but beat. Did the emperor notice something? Yue Nanxuan looked unruly on the surface, but he was extremely wise and powerful. It seemed that he had to do that as soon as possible!
Jiang Yan left the palace and did not return to the Jiang Mansion, but went straight to the suburbs.
In the courtyard, the sound of piano was lingering. Yue Chengning was concentrating on the music and seemed not to be affected by the last conversation.
"Master, he is here!" Yu Xian whispered beside Yue Chengning. He was one of the only secret guards who followed Yue Chengning to the death after he lost power.
Yue Chengning nodded calmly, stopped plucking the strings, and looked out of the pavilion. This time Jiang Yan was in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to change his court clothes. If he was right...
Yue Chengning raised the corner of his lips calmly and handed the guqin on the stone table to Yu Xian. He didn't want what happened last time to happen again.
"You are so leisurely, Yue Chengning, what do you think about what happened last time?" Jiang Yan said in a deep voice, striding into the pavilion, while his followers stood guard outside the pavilion.
"I've said before, to cooperate with you, I just need your orders. After all, all people belong to you, and I'm just a puppet!" Yue Chengning smiled faintly with a calm expression.
Jiang Yan frowned slightly. Although this was the truth, he still felt a little uncomfortable when Yue Chengning said it so bluntly. To be exact, he felt uneasy. Since Yue Chengning saw the matter so thoroughly, would it be possible...
"Don't worry. Since I have agreed to cooperate with you, I will not go back on my word. After all, no one wants to hide in a small courtyard without seeing the light of day, not to mention..."
