During the camp in Yanliang, Wan Tuo Shuofeng came in and saw Ye Tianling, and immediately regretted choosing this time.
Three thousand miles of ice and snow in Mobei, unable to overwhelm the oppressive silence around him, Ye Tianling stood alone in front of the window with his hands behind his back, a cold blanket wrapped around his body, the chill was deep, and his eyes were sharp as he looked over, Rao was as ruthless as Wanqi Shuofeng Such a person, when he touched his eyes, there was also a complete coldness from the bottom of my heart.
Wan Chengshuofeng and Ye Tianling looked at each other for a moment, then simply threw the pigeon in his hand forward, "Look, Your Highness!"
The pigeon fluttered in front of Ye Tianling, spread its wings and flew away, but it couldn't escape. The blue shirt shook slightly, and the white dove was in his hands. Ye Tianling's eyes were filled with anger, "What are you doing?"
Wan Tushuofeng raised his hand and pointed: "On the lap." After saying that, he knelt down in front of the desk and watched Ye Tianling's reaction.
To his surprise, Ye Tianling took out the secret letter from the pigeon's body according to his words, and just glanced at it with a calm face, then restored the secret letter to its original shape, tied it back to the pigeon's leg, pushed the window and let go . The pigeon struggled, flew forward, and soon disappeared outside Yanliang City.
Ye Tianling watched the pigeons go away, light snow drifted past him through the window, and there were sporadic chills. He turned around and glanced at Wan Qishuofeng, Wan Qishuofeng couldn't help but frowned, puzzled, and didn't say anything for a while.
After a moment's pause, Ye Tianling ordered: "Come here, pass on Nangong Jing."
The guards outside responded, but after a while, Nangong rushed inside to ask for an audience. Immediately after Banzhuxiang's kung fu, Xia Bufeng, Tang Chu, Shi Zhonghou, including Ming Zhi, the generals of the Xuanjia army heard the call one after another, and Ye Tianling gave different orders.
All the generals were a little surprised by the sudden change of defense, but no one expressed any objection, and retreated one after another.
Wan Qi Shuofeng was listening, admiring him secretly. With just a few words, the layout of the army is reversed, and the adjustment is seamless. What is rare is that on the surface, the place where the generals are ordered may become the only weak point of the defense. If the person they are looking for is among them, they will inevitably take the risk of notifying the Turks again, so as not to miss such a good opportunity.
Ye Tianling watched the last person leave calmly, his dark eyes were calm and silent, and a ray of sharpness in his eyes was fleeting, like the scorching sun, piercing through everything. In the palm of your hand, an invisible net has quietly engulfed Yanliang City.
Wan Tushuofeng turned his head and said: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops, how can Your Highness be so sure that the traitor is in the Xuanjia Army?"
Ye Tianling raised his eyes indifferently: "If you lead an army against the enemy, if you don't even know who you use, you don't need to fight. Those who can do this are only a few people."
Wan Tushuofeng said: "Your Highness seems to trust me, but you are not afraid that this person is me?" Ye Tianling hadn't spoken yet, but heard him say again: "Could it be because the princess trusts me, Your Highness has no doubts about me?" heart of?"
As soon as the words came out, Ye Tianling's face darkened, and he said coldly: "So what?"
Wan Tuo Shuofeng seemed not afraid of death, and said: "I just found out about this with the princess. The princess has something to say, it's not Wei Changzheng. It seems that His Highness thinks so too."
Although Ye Tianling looked unhappy, he still said: "There are some people who will never betray me until they die, and Wei Changzheng is one of them."
Wan Tushuofeng raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness and the princess really have a good understanding." When Ye Tianling's repressed dissatisfaction was about to explode, he suddenly said seriously: "The Turkic retreat is only temporary, and the top priority is to conquer Jizhou as soon as possible. Let Jizhou fall into the hands of the Turks."
Ye Tianling was so tolerant, the aroused anger was suppressed in an instant, and he said lightly: "After Jizhou, pass Lihou Mountain, and destroy the Eastern Turks first."
"Okay!" Wan Qi Shuofeng clapped the case and said, "You might as well take Zuoyu first, then Su Tuhai and Sihecheng."
A hint of admiration appeared in Ye Tianling's cold eyes, and he said, "Heroes see the same thing."
Wan Tushuofeng's eyes were piercing: "Yu Su died in the hands of King Zhan the night before, and it is difficult for the Eastern and Western Turks to join forces. Among the three cities, Su Tuhai is the most important town in Mobei, and it is the most difficult to conquer."
Ye Tianling stood up from the case, and slowly walked a few steps: "What do you think?"
Wan Tushuofeng smiled, but there was a bloodthirsty murderous look in his eyes: "Give me 30,000 cavalry, and I can defeat Su Tuhai in one day."
"Oh?" Yetian Lingxuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "30,000 cavalry, one day?"
Wan Tushuofeng said: "I used to be stationed in Su Tuhai as the Turkic Right General, but there are people in Rouran."
Ye Tianling nodded: "I never thought that the Rouran royal family still survived, and it was in the Turkic army."
Wan Tushuofeng looked indifferent: "I survived only because the Turks ignored a child who was hidden in a dry well when they slaughtered Riguo City. They raped and killed my mother outside the well." Hearing these words, his deep eyes were narrowed, and there was a coldness and coldness: "And I haven't found my father's head yet."
"Riguo City." Ye Tianling said, "It's not far from here."
"That's right!" Wan Tuo Shuofeng stood up and said, "Your Highness, I have a merciless request."
"explain."
"After breaking the city, please hand over all the Turks in the city to me, Your Highness." Wan Tushuo's venomous words made the originally peaceful room go cold.
"Hmm." Ye Tianling replied indifferently, looking at the continuous snow rushing into the room outside the window, "You don't have to leave any one behind, I only want Mu Chisha alone."
"It's a deal!"
Ye Tianling turned around unhurriedly: "What else do you want?"
Xueluo was silent, and Ye Tianling's gaze was also calm. He seemed to be only looking at the other person's eyes, but it made people feel that everything on his body was in his eyes. After being cold, there was an unfathomable depth. The mutual temptation is like an invisible blade, sharp in the dark, slightly bright.
Finally, it was Wan Qi Shuofeng who spoke: "Monan and Mobei are originally the territory of Rouran Kingdom."
Ye Tianling nodded, his eyes still fixed on Wanqi Shuofeng: "Rouran is just a family within the territory of the Celestial Dynasty."
Wan Teng Shuofeng raised his eyes abruptly, as if something had come to his lips, but he pressed it back abruptly. Ye Tianling saw it in his eyes, and remained calm.
At this moment, Qing Chen's advice came to Wan Tushuofeng's mind. He thought for a while and said, "Your Highness already has the blood of the two royal families of Tianchao and Rouran. I have no objection to that. But if you want to let Rouran submits to the Celestial Dynasty, I want a guarantee."
Ye Tianling said: "Why do you negotiate terms with me?"
Wan Teng Shuofeng said: "At this time, I can make Your Highness attack the city with half the effort, and also rely on the long-term peace and stability in the north of Hengling."
Ye Tianling glanced at his eyes and paused: "Your conditions."
Wan Tushuofeng said: "Rouran will never submit to foreigners, but she can submit to Your Highness. My condition is very simple, as long as Your Highness can enter the Dazheng Palace, the Rouran family will be the subjects of the Celestial Dynasty."
There was a trace of arrogance in Ye Tianling's words: "You don't need to worry about this matter."
Although the words were cold, Wan Tuo Shuofeng understood, bowed back, bowed slightly, and when he raised his head again, he took out something from his bosom, and called out: "Brother, please bring this to Aunt Molian."
This "big brother" obviously surprised Ye Tianling, he was stunned for a moment, and took the thing over, it turned out to be a lotus pendant carved from snow jade.
Wan Teng Shuofeng secretly watched his reaction, and continued: "Aunt Molian and my father have had a deep relationship since they were young. She gave this jade lotus to my father before she married in the Central Plains. I used this thing to confirm my father's body that day. Yes, staying with me now is worse than returning it to the original owner, please greet aunt for the Rouran people."
The snow jade is crystal clear, and each petal of the lotus flower is as bright as moonlight, as if condensing the cold ice of the Kunlun Mountains, and a little bit of distant coolness. Ye Tianling clasped his hands and said, "I will."
Wan Teng Shuofeng felt that the coercive aura and looming alienation in him seemed to have quietly faded away, and he couldn't help but admit that Qing Chen's reminder was extremely correct - if you treat him like a brother, he will treat you like a brother.
The cold moon is half shining, Yanliang City is quiet at night, and the people and horses are peaceful.
As the wind blows through the atrium, Yin Caiqian walks slowly with her head bowed in the vast white snow field, her footprints meandering and her figure is long and dark.
Pushing the door open and entering, she raised the hood and lifted her hand, Ye Tianzhan leaned on the soft couch and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He looked extremely pale under a few clusters of lamp flames, but he set off the Danfeng eyeliner like black jade slanting in. The temples, the shades of lamps and shadows clearly outline his handsome face.
When he heard someone coming in, he didn't move at all, he didn't even seem to want to look, and kept his eyes half closed. Yin Caiqian stepped forward and put two small porcelain bottles in front of the desk: "Brother Zhan, use the big bottle for external application, and the small bottle for internal use. Avoid anger, cold, and stress."
The porcelain bottles collided unintentionally, and a very light sound fell in the ears. Ye Tianzhan still hadn't opened his eyes, there was a light mark between his brows. No need to look, ice porcelain jade sound, the famous production of Yue Kiln in Xiaoshan, is only used in the palace and various princes' mansions, especially in the Yanxi Palace. The body of the bottle is shaped like a moon arc, and occasionally it is octagonal. She likes to use snow-colored satin silk to cover the seal of ganoderma wood. Sometimes the thin silk is sprinkled along the body of the bottle, half covering the hand-painted orchids on the bottle.
"Why only orchids?"
"...Because I can only draw orchids." When she answered, she raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression was a little helpless, but also seductive and playful, she pursed her lips lightly, and brushed her hair by her ears.
"If you like something else, I'll help you draw it another day."
"Clear lotus out of the water, you paint very well. Or, how about pear blossom?" She looked sideways, her eyes rippling like water.
"White porcelain pear blossoms are too plain."
She laughed, with slightly curved eyebrows and fine eyelashes: "A small bottle that is not enough to slap, you can't draw a picture of a beautiful and fragrant peony, can you?"
He lightly embraced his arms and shook his head slightly: "Although the peony is beautiful, I don't think it is beautiful."
Curiosity was in her eyes, the wind blowing in front of the porch, the clothes fluttered, and the waves in the Taiye pool brought the faint fragrance of herbs on her body, and the warm sun in the afternoon calmed the mind and calmed down.
He smiled softly and said, "The beauty of the country is heavenly, it is still an orchid."
People are picturesque, Zhitinglan on the shore, and Pingting on the water.
Her bright eyes are clear, but she just smiled, walked forward, and turned back later: "Drawing plum blossoms, according to the water or purple stalks, the colors are very good, with this ice porcelain, a branch of plum blossoms will be the first to spring."
After taking a leisurely walk, he said with a smile: "Han Mei complements this ice porcelain, it is a wonderful rejuvenation."
Open your eyes, there is still a Sulan plant on the snow-colored base, soft and delicate, with two or three pistils and delicate leaves. Looking under the lamp, it seems to have a three-pointed style with a icy soul and snow soul, and a faint scent of Laneige floating in it, interspersed like an illusion.
"She knows?" Ye Tianzhan said slowly, with a look of tiredness that could not be concealed between his brows.
Yin Caiqian nodded and responded.
Ye Tianzhan's brows tightened: "How do you know?"
Yin Caiqian said: "You are seriously injured, can you hide it from her? You gave the medicine to Huang Wenshang yesterday, but you didn't call for a doctor at all. Why do you bother to be so brave? It's that day and the Fourth Highness. Can't you explain it well? Do you want to meet with swords?"
Ye Tianzhan raised his gentle eyes slightly, but the light in them was very cold: "Explain what?"
Yin Caiqian said: "You personally led the troops and broke through the encirclement for reinforcements. Even if it is to blame, it cannot be entirely blamed on you."
Ye Tianzhan smiled very lightly on the corner of his lips, but he was not as chic as before. He was seven points arrogant and three points indifferent: "You let me explain this to him? Tell him I tried my best and ask him to calm down? Or tell him I hate myself for not Arrived at a moment early, can't save the eleventh brother?"
Yin Caiqian said: "Isn't it? Not only is he the elder brother of His Royal Highness Eleven, who doesn't feel sad?"
"Since it's going to happen sooner or later, why delay it with explanations." Ye Tianzhan closed his eyes again, as if he didn't want to say more.
Only a moment away, a snap of the fingers, nine days of hell. Someone has to bear the anger. At that moment, the snow flies, the shadows splash, and the gold and jade shake. It is an emotion that they can no longer control with reason, the same sorrow, the same hatred, and the same harshness.
His hand on the table tapped unconsciously, and the sound was extremely slow and thin, but it was extremely heavy. Make up your own mind, deceive others, at this moment, how can those people tell him to tolerate it
Yin Caiqian only felt that there were thousands of words in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, no one said, she stood in a daze for a moment, and she heard Ye Tianzhan sighed: "Caiqian, don't care about anything, you can't care about anyone, in a few days , I will send someone to take you back to Tiandu."
Yin Caiqian looked at Dengying Tongtong, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhan, after this trip to Mobei, even if we go back, the sky will not be that beautiful and romantic sky." After saying this, she turned and left silently. Under the clear and snowy night, she could only see her footprints when she came. She walked out, stepping on the soft snow aimlessly, the moon was half-curved, and the snow was cold.
Suddenly she stopped in her tracks, a few steps away was the new tomb where she was buried today, because she will be moved back to Tiandu in the future, and she will temporarily stay in Yanliang according to the military system, so she can rest in peace. Now there is a light snowfall all around, and under the moonlit night, there is solitude and emptiness.
In the ice and snow field, there is a tall and tall figure standing alone, the corner of the blue shirt is fluttering in the cold wind.
He seemed to have been standing there for a long time, the dead branches were bleak, the wind was blowing and the snow was thin, and a jug of strong wine was sacrificed in front of the grave.
He was also holding the wine in his hand, at this time he raised his head and drank it, let go of it, the wine jug fell into the deep snow with a puff: "Eleventh Brother, I will avenge you, Fourth Brother will come back to accompany you to get drunk!"
After saying that, he suddenly turned around and moved, only to see Yin Caiqian standing behind him, under the clear shadow of the moonlight, her face was full of tears.
He stopped: "It's you."
The tears on Yin Caiqian's face were still wet, she looked over his shoulder, looked forward, and said quietly: "I will never see this person again, but I found that you would cry for him, the person you thought you liked, but you actually started to hate Him." She walked gently past Ye Tianling, came to the eleventh grave, and stood there quietly: "It's like after drinking strong alcohol, everything becomes ridiculous. If you can wake up when you're drunk, But I’m only afraid of waking up, things are different.”
Before Ye Tianling answered, Yin Caiqian turned around and said, "Your Highness, I really can't understand you like she does, and I don't know if you are a good prince or general. I only know that you are not a good brother. Two younger brothers , one dead and one injured, what qualifications do you have to blame others?"
Ye Tianling turned his head suddenly, a cold light appeared in Yingxue's eyes, but Yin Caiqian raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes dim with tears through the night.
Ye Tianling seemed to be irritated by her, but the moment he looked back, his gaze fell behind her, his expression slightly cold. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at the void beyond the moonlight. In the black jade-like depths of the sky, a lone star hangs in the distance. The cold light is sharp and bright, forcing the moon to fade away. He said hoarsely: "You are right! , I am indeed not a good brother." After finishing speaking, he strode away without looking back.
Yin Caiqian watched Ye Tianling's back disappear into the depths of the night, took the wine on the ground in her hands, and sat in front of the eleventh grave regardless of the coldness of the snow.
She took a sip of the wine, raised the pot to toast to the sky, and poured the wine on the ground: "I will borrow the wine of the Fourth Highness to accompany you to drink a pot, maybe you don't care that I come to accompany you, but it's not a bad thing to drink with someone, right Right? Actually, I have always wanted to tell you something. You laughed at me a few days ago for my fancy arrow shooting. Now that I think about it, your arrow skills are indeed better than mine. I am convinced. But there is one thing I want to ask you, How do you pay back the arrow you owed me now?" She raised her head and took another two sips of wine: "By the way, you always say that I am a child, and I am younger than you, but why don't you give me a chance to grow up?" I said the Fourth Highness is cold-hearted, but in fact you are not bad, you just smile better than him, um, sometimes you really make people angry when you laugh... "
Not far away, at a slightly higher place, the moonlight shines through the snow-covered branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows. A stone-blue cloak wraps around his slender body. Qing Chen stands quietly under the shadow of the moon marks, quietly looking at the new grave in front of him. , watching Ye Tianling sacrifice to the grave, watching Yin Caiqian pouring wine.
She came earlier than Ye Tianling, when Ye Tianling left, Ming Zhi cautiously reminded behind her: "Phoenix Lord..."
"En." Qing Chen responded, and turned around: "Let's go."
Mingzhi followed her and found that she didn't intend to go to Ye Tianling's side, so he couldn't help but said again: "Phoenix Lord, His Highness seems to be going to camp."
Qing Chen stopped in his tracks and smiled lightly. How could she not understand what Ming Zhi meant, but she only asked, "Have you done what I told you?"
Mingzhi replied: "Zhong Dingfang, Feng Changjun, Shao Xiubing and their contacts have already been investigated, and there will be news within a month."
Qing Chen nodded slightly, a snow-jade-like coldness appeared in his calm eyes. As an official in the court, no one is clean, Shi Shi's blood will not be shed in vain, she remembers every bit in her heart, Gong Sicheng, Zhong Dingfang, Feng Changjun, Shao Xiubing, each of them must Pay for it. She knew clearly that Ye Tianling would never let go of the person who betrayed the Xuanjia Army, let alone Turkic.
She gently gathered the cloak on her body, looked up at the distant and incomparably clear sky star, the scorching edge turned into a trace of autumn water in her deep pool-like eyes, calm and slightly rippling, and starlight bloomed.
