Chapter 1419 Who Is 724?

The Marquis of Pingyang looked directly at Guan Yubai without blinking, his eyes were like torches, and he was full of vigor.

Guan Yubai was still light and light. After he took a sip of the hot tea, he looked at the Marquis of Pingyang and asked slowly, "Do you dare to ask the Marquis if there is an imperial decree?"

It's holy decree again! Marquis Pingyang's face sank, and after taking a deep breath, he immediately explained: "The imperial decree has been robbed..." He clenched his fists, and bitterly told Guan Yubai about his encounter with the bandits on the road. Then he said angrily, "The robbers in the southern border are so rampant, and the father and son of King Zhennan are really under the emperor's order and have no way to govern, which has contributed to the arrogance of the robbers. In this way, his father and son also intend to shirk the responsibility..."

The more he talked, the more angry the Marquis of Pingyang became, thinking that he had to bow his head to King Zhennan and his son just now, a flame of humiliation ignited in his heart.

Guan Yubai seemed to be thoughtful, and said, "This Marquis once heard that Mrs. Fu and her party were also robbed by bandits on their way to Luoyue City..."

The Marquis of Pingyang fell silent for a while, and his face turned pale.

When Mrs. Fu's motorcade to propose marriage to the southern border left the capital, it was attacked by "gangsters". According to what he said just now, is it not a satire of the emperor's lack of control over the country, so bandits are rampant near the capital...

The Marquis of Pingyang coughed twice, and said hurriedly: "This Marquis was indignant for a while, but he made a blunder. Brother, don't be surprised."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and used the action of drinking tea to hide the gaffe on his face, but his thoughts were even more chaotic.

He is Han Lingguan's confidant, and of course he knows that the robbers who attacked Mrs. Fu are behind Han Lingguan... Thinking of this, he can't help but wonder if the gang who robbed Kui Lang were really robbers?

Do ordinary robbers dare to attack officers and soldiers?

Those robbers are all very skilled, they start like lightning, and they leave no clues, they are definitely well-trained.

Could it be King Zhennan and his son... However, if it is King Zhennan and his son, Southern Border is the territory of King Zhennan and his son. They can kill themselves and the third princess in one go. Wouldn't it be more neat?

In contrast, it might be the one...

The more Pingyang Hou thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was worth thinking about. Now the king of Shunjun, Han Lingguan, has been angered by the emperor because of Enke's fraud, and his power has been greatly reduced. It is not impossible for the emperor to blame himself and cut his military power!

Or, it's about Kuilang, maybe the person behind the scenes is Baiyue, such as Baiyue's pseudo-king Nuhar...

Marquis Pingyang had a thousand thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't come to a conclusion, and the room was silent for a moment.

Guan Yubai looked at Marquis Pingyang's ever-changing eyes, his eyes were half drooping, his jet-black eyes were bottomless and unfathomable. He drank his tea calmly, also silent.

After a few moments, the Marquis of Pingyang put down the tea cup, and his expression had returned to normal. He changed the subject and asked tentatively, "Marquis Anyi, I wonder what the situation in Baiyue is now?" Wannanjiang troops are approaching the capital of Baiyue. Now that Xiao Yi is in Luoyue City, does it mean that Baiyue has been captured?

Speaking, Marquis Pingyang's brows jumped, and he gritted his teeth: "Then King Zhennan is really an old fox..."

He tried to talk a few times just now, but King Zhennan kept a secret, vague words and seemed to agree, but he didn't say anything about the battle of Baiyue at all.

Also, Xiao Yi's little fox was so rude to him today, it was clearly the old fox, King Zhennan, who was backing him! Otherwise, why did King Zhennan keep silent and let Xiao Yi humiliate himself!

The official language showed embarrassment on his face, "It's about the military situation, and this lord can't speak falsely..." He reluctantly clasped his fists and said, "Master Hou, the emperor personally gave this lord an imperial decree that day, so that this lord can act cheaply in the southern border, but it is about hundreds of thousands of people. The military situation in Vietnam can only be reported to the emperor... Now the Marquis has no imperial decree, please forgive me for not violating the decree! I also ask the Marquis to forgive me."

Guan Yubai's tone was gentle and elegant from beginning to end, but no matter how nicely he said it, the meaning in his words was still unwilling to cooperate.

The Marquis of Pingyang froze for a moment, but it was his fault that he didn't have an imperial decree. He had known that he should quietly ask the emperor for another secret decree, and he would keep it for himself, and it wouldn't be like this...

"Marquis Anyi, this Marquis is helpless now. The imperial decree and the three concubines have been kidnapped by the thieves." Marquis Pingyang's words inevitably revealed a trace of irritability, "Just imagine, if it wasn't for the emperor's will, how could this Marquis come to the southern border. Wild land!" He stayed well in the capital, why did he travel all the way to the southern border to be humiliated by King Zhennan and his son? !

"Marquis, this Marquis naturally believes in Marquis. It's just that this monarch's life is like a mountain..." Guan Yubai reassured, his knuckles tapped on the table next to him, as if he was pondering, and then suggested, " Marquis, for now, the only way to find the thief who robbed the three concubines and the imperial decree as soon as possible is to borrow troops from King Zhennan. Since the thief robbed the three concubines instead of killing them on the spot, he must have other plans. So, It bought us time..."

The Marquis of Pingyang thoughtfully stroked the short beard of his chin, yes, although King Zhennan agreed to send someone to find Kui Lang, but the Southern Border Army and Baiyue are feuding, and the generals in the army may wish that Kui Lang was killed by Qian Qian. Dao Wanchang, will they do their best to help themselves find someone?

The Marquis of Pingyang frowned slightly, and when he left the Zhennan Palace, the whole person was still a little uneasy.

After the Marquis of Pingyang was escorted by several palace guards to the post in the city, he was led to the third princess' room. : "Marquis, Zhennan Wangfu really doesn't understand the rules. The prince and concubine of Zhennan Wang knew that this palace was coming to Luoyue City, so they didn't come to salute to this palace. Also, Zhennan Wang just sent this palace to the post station. What's the meaning?"

The third princess looked at the room of the post station with disgust. Although this was the famous room of the post station, how could it be compared to the palace and the princess mansion for the third princess! She originally thought that after arriving in Luoyue City, King Zhennan would arrange a courtyard for her princess in the palace, but she didn't expect them to treat her so much!

"His Royal Highness, the third princess, be patient first, and the most urgent task is to find the three concubines first with the help of the Zhennan Palace." Pingyang Hou coaxed a few words, but he always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't think of what was wrong for a while. .

The third princess thinks about it, if King Zhennan refuses to help, with their manpower, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack in the southern border, and it is impossible to find clues about Kui Lang... Although Kui Lang is dead or alive, she doesn't care, but death Now, she is at ease, but she is not in the capital now, what should she do when Kui Lang is so uncertain about his life and death?

The Marquis of Pingyang comforted the third princess again, persuaded her to rest early, and then went back to her room with a heavy heart.

That night, the Marquis of Pingyang could hardly sleep at night, and his body was obviously extremely tired, but his heart seemed to be pressing on a hill, heavy... He also woke up several times from his light sleep, dreaming of waiting for the people of the Southern Border Army to find him. At the time of Kui Lang, he was already a cold corpse, bleeding from the seven orifices.

The next few days, the Marquis of Pingyang can be said to be living like a year. He made several trips to the Zhennan King's Mansion. He finally borrowed hundreds of soldiers and horses from the Zhennan King, and went out of the city to the place where Kuilang was robbed. Trying to find clues about Quiran...

The Marquis of Pingyang rushed out of the city, but did not know that the person he was thinking of was in the dungeon of Bixiaotang at the moment.

"Well……"

With his hands tied behind his back and his mouth covered, Kui Lang struggled desperately, making a humming sound.

Suddenly, he heard a heavy "squeak" sound of the door opening, followed by the chaotic footsteps of several people approaching him, and Kui Lang's body suddenly tense up, and the next moment, the black cloth covering his eyes and mouth Being untied, the eyes light up...

He was in a small narrow room, surrounded by dim yellow, and only the person in front of him was holding two torches, barely illuminating the surroundings.

There are four or five people standing in front of him, and the two young people headed by them have so familiar faces, one is unruly and the other is peaceful and far-reaching, all of them are dragons and phoenixes.

Kui Lang recognized it at a glance, it was—

Xiao Yi and the official language are white!

Kui Lang's eyes widened, his heart was overjoyed, and the whole person relaxed a lot, and blurted out: "Xiao Shizi, Marquis Anyi, you are here to save me!"

Since he was knocked unconscious and robbed from behind a few days ago, Kui Lang has blindfolded his eyes and gagged his mouth. Ignore him, starving makes him dizzy...

As the days passed, Kui Lang at first hoped that Marquis Pingyang would bring someone to rescue him, but gradually he became desperate. He couldn't even confirm whether he was still in the southern border. He didn't expect that it was Xiao Yihe who came to save him. Official language white.

At this moment, the two soldiers moved to the top two seats. Xiao Yi casually lifted his robe and sat down. Guan Yubai was neither in a hurry nor slow, just like a noble son. Instead of being in a shabby room, the two outstanding young masters formed a great contrast with this shabby environment.

"Kui Lang, long time no see, you don't look good!"

Xiao Yi greeted the other party with a smile, but his words were not polite at all, with obvious sarcasm.

Kui Lang frowned, feeling that something was wrong...

and many more!

In an instant, he was struck by lightning, and he thought of something.

Could it be that Xiao Yi didn't come to save him...

"It's you! Xiao Yi, you sent someone to kidnap me!" Kui Lang blurted out in disbelief.

This prince of Zhennan is really daring!

When this thought appeared in Kui Lang's mind, all the doubts seemed to be taken for granted. Yes, this is the southern border, and it is Xiao Yi's territory. I am afraid that he and Pingyanghou and his party had entered the southern border. At the time, Xiao Yi already got the news... What's more, maybe as early as the moment they left the capital.

However, why is Guan Yubai here? Kui Lang glanced at Guan Yubai, who was beside Xiao Yi, with doubts in his heart. Could it be that Guan Yubai also intervened here? !

"This prince and the third concubine are old acquaintances. It is rare for the third concubine to come to the southern border. This prince should fulfill his friendship as a landlord." Xiao Yi still looked at Kui Lang with a smile, his expression did not change. Obviously, there was none at all. A hint of concealment.

This realization made Kui Lang's heart sink. At this time, he couldn't offend Xiao Yi, so he had to say with a smile: "Xiao Shizi, a gentleman makes a quick horse and a whip. You can rest assured, as long as I can get back to the Baiyue throne, I will definitely I will honor my promise..." He wasn't sure whether Guan Yubai was a friend or an enemy at the moment, and he couldn't put it plainly, he could only try to show his sincerity.

As long as he can regain the throne, even if he is humiliated by the crotch, what is it?

Xiao Yi raised his right eyebrow, sighed and shook his head: "Hey, this prince thought we were generals, not like those civil servants who are twisted in their stomachs and have two swords. It's a pity, what the three concubines do now... let this prince do. I have to doubt your sincerity, Third Consort!"

Kui Lang's face froze, thinking that Xiao Yi suspected that he had surrendered to Emperor Dayu, and hurriedly denied: "How could it be! I have no intention of persecuting the son of Xiao when I came to the southern border this time. However, he is a prisoner under the Dayu Order, and he can only follow the trend.”

Kui Lang did not change his face and put all the responsibilities on the emperor. Anyway, even if Xiao Yi sent someone to the capital to check, he could not find any clues against him.

Xiao Yi took another look at the embarrassed Kui Lang, and seemed to have moved, "That's true..."

Kui Lang breathed a sigh of relief, but he was only halfway out when he heard Xiao Yi suddenly say again: "Since the three concubines are sincere towards this prince, they probably don't mind answering a question of this prince, right?"

Kui Lang hesitated for a moment, "What Xiao Shizi wants to know, I must know everything and say everything."

A cold light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he simply asked, "How did the Fang family secretly collude with Baiyue?" Xiao Yi already knew about the reason for the death of the mother concubine. How Fang colluded with Baiyue still needs to be answered by Kui Lang.

Rao was Kui Lang already prepared, or his eyes widened uncontrollably, and he thought: How could Xiao Yi know that the Fang family colluded with his Baiyue? Could it be that the Fang family has been exposed? ...

Kui Lang had countless doubts in his heart, and he only hated that he had been in the Great Yu Royal Capital for the past three years, and his eyes and ears were blocked.

He was in a turmoil. The Fang family's affairs started when his mother was alive, and he took over it himself... The involvement is too great. If Xiao Yi knew the hidden inside story, I am afraid that he would not be willing to help him restore it!

can not say!

In an instant, Kui Lang's mind was already changing, and he said, "Fang family? Is the eldest son talking about the mother's family of the first and second princesses? What does the Fang family have to do with me?"

Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Yi's mouth were raised even higher, and some people just didn't shed tears when they didn't see the Yellow River, or didn't give up when they didn't see the coffin.

At this time, Guan Yubai opened his mouth and said, "The Fang family has a mine in Siglai Mountain. For more than ten years, they have been continuously transporting salt mines to Baiyue... It is one of the most important salt sources for Baiyue."

Kui Lang's face was even more ugly, his mouth moved, but he couldn't speak. Even this salt mine, which had been hidden in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years, has been exposed. How many things happened that he didn't know about...

"His Royal Highness Kuilang has been in charge of more than a hundred years, and salt is involved in the lifeline of the country. Your Highness won't say that he knows nothing, right?" Guan Yu Bai Bubu said pressingly.

Following his words, Kui Lang's heart sank little by little.

Xiao Yi said impatiently: "I hate fools, but I hate that someone deliberately pretends to be stupid in front of me! I have always been impatient..."

Kui Lang was so confused that he was almost unable to think. He raised his eyes and looked at the two of them again. In the dim light of the fire, the two of them were still sitting there.

Kui Lang's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly realized that Guan Yubai's attitude was too laid-back. Unlike the soldiers accompanying them, Guan Yubai's attitude towards Xiao Yi was casual and friendly, while Xiao Yi was a rebellious person, but was handled by officials. Yu Bai interjected at will when he was speaking.

Not right!

This is so wrong!

"You...you..." Kui Lang looked at the two of them back and forth, his face turned blue and white with anger, and he asked, "Xiao Yi, Guan Yubai, you two are so bold, you actually colluded!"

The emperor sent Guan Yubai to Nanjiang to supervise the father and son of King Zhennan and urge him to capture Baiyue. Unexpectedly, in just over a year, Guan Yubai was bought by Xiao Yi, as if he had one heart!

What are the benefits of Xiao Yi's promise of official language white? !

Maybe he underestimated Xiao Yi's ambitions. Could it be that Xiao Yi planned to take Baiyue into his own hands and become a king? !

The more Kui Lang thought about it, the more chaotic his heart became. He thought that he was only half a step away from the throne when he arrived in the southern border, but he did not expect that the situation in the southern border was completely beyond his expectations!

Xiao Yi let out a cold snort, which made the atmosphere in the cell chill.

The corners of his originally raised mouth suddenly pursed into a straight line, and his handsome face suddenly turned cold, as if the cold winter had suddenly come.

"The three concubines didn't know who they were, so they didn't say anything." He brushed off his robes and stood up. "Let the concubine meet someone in a while, and the concubine will think about it!"

He didn't bother to look at Kui Lang, so he casually flicked his fingers, and the two soldiers behind him immediately clasped their fists and took orders.

Following, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai left without any hesitation, only to hear Kui Lang's puzzled voice from behind: "Xiao Yi, what do you want?!"

The two soldiers walked up to Kui Lang with expressionless faces, ignoring him at all, pulling him up one by one and escorting him to another cell next door.

In the cell, a young man with shackled hands and feet and a unkempt face was sitting on the ground. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately followed the sound and said in a blunt Taiyu language: "Xiao Yi, I..."

The other party stopped abruptly after only saying three words, facing Kui Lang's eyes.

The two blurted out at the same time:

"Big Brother!"

"Sixth Emperor Brother!"

Kui Lang looked at his sixth emperor brother Carrero in disbelief. This time, his heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Shouldn't the Sixth Emperor be in Baiyue? How did it fall into Xiao Yi's hands? !

When the brothers Kuilang and Carrero met, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai had already walked out of the dark dungeon and saw the light of day again.

At this moment, the sun was shining warmly on them.

Xiao Yi stretched his waist a lot and said with a smile, "Xiao Bai, the brothers meet again after a long absence. I must be in tears now, which is very touching!"

Guan Yubai looked up at the rising sun in the east, and said with a smile, "Carrero is a smart man..." He must have helped them "persuasion" Kui Lang.

It's better... Xiao Yi shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I remember that the Sixth Highness only lasted a day, right? Xiao Bai, how hard do you think Kui Lang's bones are?" A bit eager to try.

The corners of Guan Yubai's mouth twitched slightly. Kui Lang is a hero, of course, he will not give in easily, but people can persevere because they have faith and hope. When they find that their beliefs are broken and their hopes are shattered, their hearts will naturally be defeated.

Kuilang is no exception.

A confident and expectant smile appeared on Guan Yubai's lips, and he said slowly, "Ayi, it will take another year..."

He spoke without end, but Xiao Yi knew what he was talking about.

Southern Xinjiang will take another year.

In the past year or so, they have conquered Nanliang and Baiyue, but it will take at least a year to integrate Nanjiang, Baiyue and Nanliang, as well as the surrounding small countries.

In this way, no matter what happens to Dayu in the future, they can be as stable as a mountain in the southern region, advancing and attacking, retreating and defending.

Even the emperor could not help them.

However, Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai both knew that this seemingly short year would be extremely difficult.

Now, although the situation of Baiyue and Nanliang being taken down temporarily concealed the emperor, with Xiao Yi's ability, he can only control the official military newspaper not to spread Baiyue and Nanliang, but he can't control those civilians. It is impossible to prohibit the trade between Nanliang, Baiyue and Dayu, and the mutual visits of relatives and friends. As time goes by, the news will gradually leak out, and finally spread to the capital and the emperor's ears.

Of course they can't sit still.

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in Peach Blossom's eyes, "This time it's up to our concubine to help us buy some time..."
