Chapter 1498 803 Departure
Outside the window, a gust of cold wind blew through, causing the branches and leaves to sway and rustle, and it also blew Nangong Yue's reddish face from the charcoal fire with a chill.
Countless white plum blossoms flew up in the wind and fell down like a goose feather snow.
The corner of Nangong Yue's mouth evoked a faint smile, but the smile was cold and did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
"Baihui, go and tell Zhu Xing that His Highness Carrero is our 'VIP' at the Zhennan Palace. You must greet him well and make His Highness feel at home..." Nangong Yue commanded meaningfully.
"Yes, Concubine Prince." Baihui's eyes flashed, her lips pursed knowingly, and she was blessed to lead her life, "The servant will tell Butler Zhu, and will not let His Highness Carrero lose his life."
Death, isn't that too simple and too cheap for Carrero and Aimu!
Baihui stepped back quickly, and then after waiting outside for a long time, Thrush raised the curtain and entered: "Prince Concubine, the boxing ceremony is ready."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Then let someone send it away quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a laughing female voice coming at the same time as the sound of lifting the curtain: "Yue'er, today is the fourteenth day of the first month, why did the Lantern Festival present so late?"
I saw Queer led Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia in one after another, and the person who spoke just now was Yuan Yuyi.
As she walked, she winked at Nangong Yue playfully, her slightly mocking expression seemed to say, Yue'er, you are not busy forgetting!
Nangong Yue replied with a smile, and asked the two of them to sit down.
Lantern Festival is a big festival, how could Nangong Yue forget about boxing, even if she has a lot of trivial matters, there are Baihui and Thrushi to help her.
The gifts to be given out today are prepared in addition to the regular gifts of each province.
A few days ago, Nangong Yue received Xiao Yi's biography of flying pigeons, which mentioned that the young generals who accompanied Xiao Yi to Xiye this time made a lot of military exploits. Although Xiao Yi only mentioned a few words casually, Nangong Yue could already imagine his triumphant tone, with a bit of show off and pride.
Therefore, Nangong Yue made a temporary intention to prepare another special gift for Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi, Yan Xijun and other young generals in the new battalion.
"Yue'er," Yuan Yuyi said while sitting beside Nangong Yue, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and cousin Xia said that there will be a lantern festival in the city tomorrow night."
Nangong Yue nodded and said, "Our lantern festival in southern Xinjiang is very different from that of the capital. Sister Yi, it's rare for you to come to Luoyue City, but you must go to play for a worthwhile trip."
Hearing Nangong Yue say "our southern border" naturally, Yuan Yuyi couldn't help being stunned. It seems that for Yue'er, southern border is already her home.
Thinking, she curled her lips slightly and said with a smile: "Cousin Xia and I have made an appointment to go to the lantern festival tomorrow night. Yue'er, would you like to come with us?" Yuan Yuyi also wanted to invite Jiang Yixi, but Jiang Yixi has since come After arriving in the southern border, he was weak, perhaps because of the fatigue of the boat, or because of a mental illness... Thinking about it, Yuan Yuyi felt a little sigh in her heart.
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows and asked deliberately, "Can I bring one more person?"
When she asked this question, Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia couldn't help but glance at each other, thinking of the same person, the two girls' eyes lit up and answered in unison, "That's natural."
My brother Yu has not seen the lantern festival yet! The smile on Nangong Yue's lips deepened, "The lantern festival is so lively, Brother Yu must like it." Xiao Xiaoyu has a lively temperament. He likes liveliness since he was a child, and he is not afraid of life. It is conceivable that tomorrow's lantern festival will definitely make the little guy happy. Coincidentally, the cat lamp that Xiao Rongyu made for Xiao Xiaoyu can also come in handy!
The two girls were in a hurry, one said they would help take care of the little guy together, and the other said they wanted to choose the most beautiful lantern for the little guy. For a while, the house was very lively.
The news that the concubine and the grandson were going to the Lantern Festival immediately spread throughout the palace, and Zhu Xing and Baihui became busy. Aimu is probably still in Luoyue City, so this trip must be carefully arranged with guards. , but also choose the restaurant with the best view, and arrange the defense around the restaurant.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and the next day is the Lantern Festival. The streets and alleys in the city are all lit up with lanterns and colorful flowers, filled with a strong festive atmosphere. When the night comes, this festivity will reach its climax in an instant. The lanterns were lit one by one, the lights flickered, and the surroundings were splendid, looking brighter than the stars in the sky.
As soon as night fell, several distinguished guests were ushered in the Tayun Restaurant, and the boss personally welcomed them to the elegant seat on the third floor facing the street.
"Yue'er, Cousin Yi, this seat is in a good location, it's very suitable for viewing the lights." Han Qixia said as she walked to the window and pointed to the street outside the window, "After half an hour, the dragon dance team will walk along the This Dongyun Street goes from east to west, you see, from this window, you can see Dongyun Street at a glance."
Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi looked out in the direction Han Qixia pointed, and saw the red lights hanging high on the entire Dongyun Street, people coming and going, most of them also carrying lanterns.
Looking down from the window on the third floor, the entire Dongyun Street is like a dazzling river of lights.
The three girls were full of praise for the beautiful scenery in front of them, but the little guy in the silk lady's arms didn't take it seriously.
The word "go" sounds unclear, but Silk Niang naturally knew that Xiao Shisun wanted to go by herself, so she leaned over and put him on the floor.
After the little guy landed, he couldn't wait to point to Que'er, Que'er hurriedly handed the lantern in his hand to the little master, and said with a smile: "Senior, don't worry, your lantern servant will take good care of you. ."
The little guy didn't know if he heard Que'er's voice, his big black and white eyes stared at the cat lamp in his hand without blinking.
Today is the Lantern Festival. The little guy almost got a room of lanterns. King Zhennan gave him a revolving lantern, Concubine Wei gave him lotus lanterns, Xiao Fei bought him rabbit lanterns, and various other lanterns from various governments. Planting palace lanterns, bird lanterns, carp lanterns, etc., but Xiao Xiao Yu still likes this cat lantern that Xiao Rongyu personally made for him.
This is a small orange lantern, the round lantern is used as the head of the cat, then the cat ears and whiskers are glued, and then the three-petaled mouth and a pair of golden cat eyes are painted, which makes people love it.
Xiao Xiaoyu hasn't put it down much since he got this cat lamp this morning.
It was when he went out just now that Nangong Yue tried to persuade him to persuade him to let him go to Que'er temporarily.
As soon as the little guy got the cat lantern, he happily circled around the seat, giggling happily, and occasionally walked up to Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia to show off his lantern.
The people in the room boasted cooperatively, and the little guy laughed even happier because of this, and his big eyes turned into cute crescents.
There was continuous laughter in the elegant seats, and at the same time, the Dongyun Street outside became more and more lively, with a festive noise.
On the one hand, those people gathered here to wait for the arrival of the dragon dance team and the floats. On the other hand, many people heard that the concubine and grandchildren also came to Tayun Restaurant to watch the lights, so they came one after another, stretching their necks one by one. Looking at the elegant seats on the second and third floors of the Tayun Restaurant, he whispered and talked a lot.
"Have the concubine Shizi and the grandson really come to Tayun Restaurant?" A thin, dark-skinned young man couldn't help but tiptoed excitedly, looking up at the top.
A gray-haired old lady beside him immediately said, "That's still fake?! Didn't you see that the guards of the palace are standing at the entrance of Tayun Restaurant?"
"The descendants and grandchildren have ordered the barbarians to congratulate me, making me proud of the southern border!" Another scholar-like humanistic crepe said, "Today is a rare Lantern Festival, and I don't know if we will have a chance to see the grandchildren tonight!"
"Why not! We didn't see the grandson when he entered the door, but it has to come out from the inside, right?" The old lady said in a loud voice, attracting the echoes of many people around, and in just a few words, The flow of people on Dongyun Street was even denser, and it was almost impossible to move an inch.
No one noticed that standing behind the crowd was a small middle-aged man with a long beard. He followed the crowd and looked up in the direction of the Tayun Restaurant. A hint of disappointment appeared in his sharp eyes.
"He" is Aimu in disguise.
Today is the Lantern Festival. There are too many people. Although it is convenient for her to hide her whereabouts, it also makes it difficult for her to find a chance to get close to Nangong Yue and the others. It seems that she has no chance to do it tonight.
In the past two days, she used the mother Gu to provoke the child Gu in Jiang Yixi's body to attack several times. She wanted to force Nangong Yue to commit the crime and release Carrero. However, until now, the Zhennan Palace has not responded.
It seems that the other party doesn't care about Jiang Yixi's life or death!
Ayimu clenched his fist, his waist was still straight, like the pines and cypresses in the cold wind, arrogant and tenacious, and his thoughts turned fast.
It was she who overestimated the Zhennan Palace. I am afraid that the last time Nangong Yue was willing to exchange Carrero for Jiang Yixi was just for the sake of external fame.
The Zhennan Palace is nothing but a deceiver!
Fortunately, the layout of his year was not completely destroyed... This game was only half played, and it is still uncertain who will live and who will die.
Thinking about it, A Yimu's eyes flashed with an icy cold light, and then he glanced in the direction of the elegant seat of the Tayun Restaurant, his eyes were like that of a vulture staring at his prey.
At this time, the whole street suddenly boiled, and the excited voices of the people came one after another: "Look! The dragon dance team is here!"
"And a float!"
"I don't know what this year's lamp king looks like?"
"..."
The surroundings became more and more lively, and the crowd became more and more excited, as if the air was scorching hot enough to burn.
Ayimu, who was in the crowd, withdrew his gaze and stepped back quietly, one step, two steps, three steps... Finally, he withdrew from the crowd and entered a small alley in the back, and quickly disappeared into the darkness...
The surrounding hustle and bustle was still full of excitement, as if Aimu had never been here.
The dragon dance team not far away was getting closer and closer. Amidst the thundering sound of gongs and drums, a dazzling long dragon danced windingly, causing cheers from all around.
Behind the dragon dance team is a huge float. On the float, three slender girls wearing only half-sleeved gauze skirts dance among the countless lotus lamps on the float. Against the backdrop of the gorgeous lotus lamps, the girls seem to It was like a dream, like a fairy in the heavenly palace descending into the earth, cheering, applause and the noisy gongs and drums mixed together.
Not only the people below look good, but also Xiao Yu from the third floor of the elegant seat. He was carried to an armchair by the window, and a pair of fleshy little hands tightly supported the window sill, looking down at the dragon dance team below.
The little guy's eyes shone like lights, and as the dragon danced, he tilted his body up and down, and cried "Ahhhh", his smile showing two rows of rice-grained teeth.
Nangong Yue wrapped one arm around the little guy's waist, looked at his own little guy with a smile, and taught him a few new words by the way, such as "dragon", "lion", such as "dance"...
The little guy's milky voice and babbling look are really cute. It seems that his two aunts' hearts are melting. Later, he didn't know whether he came to see the lantern festival or Xiao Xiaoyu. of.
The long parade procession can't see the end at a glance, and the voices are full of people. Tonight, the lights in Luoyue City will not go out, and it will last all night...
However, in the far northwest, the cold wind is still whistling and the clouds are continuous.
Since Zhongling City was captured, both the sky above the capital city of Xiye and all the people of Xiye have been shrouded in a thick haze. The heart is getting heavier.
It was like the calm before the storm, the air was so oppressive that one could hardly breathe.
In just a few days, the Night King of the West was already quite haggard, tossing and turning at night, almost sleepless at night.
A backlog of battle reports was piled up on the Western Night King's imperial case, and the piles were getting higher and higher. On top of the stack of battle reports was a piece of white cloth with a few lines of large characters written on it.
This is the battle book that Guan Yubai shot at the capital city wall with an arrow that day, and that arrow even cut off his own flag!
Every word and sentence on the battle book is so arrogant and domineering, and the black ink is so dazzling against the white cloth, every time I see it, it makes the eyes of the West Night King hurt.
Guan Yubai, this Guan Yubai is like a maggot in the tarsus, unwilling to let him go!
Thinking about it, the West Night King's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped ink, and many memories flashed quickly in his mind.
At that time, he had just passed the age of weak crown, with high ambitions and high spirits. For the first time, he was ordered by his father to lead 10,000 troops to the battlefield in the western Xinjiang. Bring the city's food, weapons, and prisoners back to Western Night.
The guards of Yangyu City were only 3,000 people in full, and there was no chance of winning against his own army of 10,000, but he did not expect that he was ambushed by an official army before he reached Yangyu City. There were only 5,000 people, and the leader of the army was just a young man who was still young, but he was defeated by a small victory.
At that time, he was the one who immediately ordered the retreat, and only returned to Xiye with 2,000 remnants.
Since then, the boy's name and figure have left an indelible mark on his heart.
Guan Yubai, this young man named Guan Yubai is his lifelong nemesis!
He swore that Guan Yubai would be defeated by his army, and his corpses would be divided into five horses. However, no matter how he tempered himself and the Xiye army, no matter how invincible he was in dealing with other small surrounding countries When the official language is white, it is a fiasco, a fiasco without any suspense.
One year, three years, five years... always!
Until one day, one of his advisors mentioned to him-
No matter whether it is conspiracy or conspiracy, as long as it can achieve great things, it is a heroic talent and a great strategy!
Yes, why does he have to fight Guan Yubai with real swords and spears? No matter what means he uses, as long as he can get rid of Guan Yubai, then it is Gao Miho who has defeated Guan Yubai, and that is Gao Miho. Won!
To this end, he was familiar with the hundreds of years of history books in the Central Plains and the "Famous Generals", and finally let him understand.
It is not difficult to get rid of Guan Yubai and even the official army!
Just use his spear to attack his shield.
As long as it is broken from within Dayu, with the suspicion and suspicion of Emperor Dayu, Guan Yubai can be destroyed!
Everything went according to his plan, the official language was abolished, and the official army was destroyed.
Rao is that official language Bai, no matter how talented he is, what if he has no leftovers, it was not destroyed in the hands of his Gao Miho, but he even won the favor of his father and king, and successfully stood out from his brothers. Pointed to be the prince, and later climbed to Dabao to become the king of the West Night!
Nine years have passed! For nine years, he thought his nightmare was over long ago, and he thought he could finally start his grand career, win Dayu, and expand his Xiye territory several times, and his name will go down in history.
But he didn't expect this to become his biggest nightmare!
And this nightmare seems to be endless, he and the entire Xiye are deeply immersed in this nightmare!
Suddenly, a messy footstep sounded outside the imperial study, getting closer and closer, and soon, a middle-aged general walked into the imperial study panting, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the official language is white. We have led our army to Baishan City!"
Baishan City? ! West Night King's pupils shrank sharply, his heart tightened, Baishan City was only about a hundred miles away from the capital!
How could this be? !
It has only been half a month, and there is still no news about the envoy he sent to the Dayu capital, but Guan Yubai has acted so quickly!
If things go on like this, even if Emperor Dayu is willing to help him, he may not be able to reach the fire from a distance. Even if he immediately recalled the troops on the front line of the Western Border, he will not be able to reach the capital now.
Next, what should I do? !
The King of the West Night was in a state of confusion, and he couldn't figure out what to do for a while. After a while, he frowned and asked, "Lakeda, only Guan Yubai? What about Xiao Yi, the prince of Zhennan?"
Lakda was stunned for a moment, then immediately bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, Xiao Yi stayed in Zhongling City, only Guan Yubai led tens of thousands of southern border troops to approach the capital!"
The West Night King was dumbfounded. The prince of Zhennan was acting out of nowhere, and there was no way to find it. What was he thinking? ! He stayed in Zhongling City by himself, and let Guanyu white-collar soldiers attack his western night capital. Isn't he afraid that after Guanyubai attacked the city, he would add a yellow robe and become a king? !
Why did Xiao Yi not care about this great opportunity to build military might, and just handed it over to Guan Yubai? Is there any other conspiracy he can't accomplish? !
The more he thought about it, the more irritable the King of the West Night became. Huo Di stood up and walked back and forth in the imperial study, circle after circle...
Lakoda, who was on the side, was still kneeling on the ground, daring not to make a sound to alarm the Night King.
Following the monotonous pace, the West Night King's heart calmed down a little bit, and said to himself, the more this time, the more calm he has to be.
It doesn't matter what Xiao Yi thinks. Obviously, the core character of the Southern Border Army is Guan Yubai, and only Guan Yubai!
As long as I get rid of Guan Yubai, the Southern Border Army will inevitably collapse and be defeated without a fight!
The West Night King narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Maybe it's time to make a move that I've been hiding for a long time!
Thinking about it, the West Night King's eyes became firmer, he made up his mind, and he ordered loudly: "Lakeda, you go to Dongshan Camp for Gu..."
The rough voice of the West Night King echoed in the imperial study, and after he explained it, Lakda left in a hurry.
The sky outside was pitch black, and night shrouded the earth...
When the dawn came to the earth again, the sun's rays penetrated the darkness, "Ta Ta Ta", a vigorous middle-aged knight riding a tall horse riding on the dawn of the dawn, galloping on his horse until he came to a city before stopping.
Before waiting for the guards on the city wall to ask questions, the middle-aged man immediately shouted loudly: "I am the former commander of the official and major general, and I came here to see the major general, and I hope to pass it on!"
His loud voice resounded all around.
