Qingsong Palace in Nanzhao Kingdom.
Ling Chen told Sima Hui his idea of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. Sima Hui nodded: "Originally we signed an agreement with Daxing that we would never go to war in our lifetime, just to prevent the people from falling into war, but now, it is inevitable. Huo Jingyun will not let Nan Zhao go. What I am afraid of is that, His goal is not just the Northern Wilderness Continent."
Ling Chen nodded: "Nanzhao Kingdom is located in the middle of Beihuang, Chaoyun, and Hexu Continents. The location is indeed very important. I think that each continent needs to be unified to avoid unnecessary wars, and each continent is suitable for their own management. , The idea of wanting to get involved in other continents will only plunge the people into war and turmoil. Who is your master, the sword master?"
Sima Hui shook his head: "When I was very young, my father sent me to Liuhe Mountain to study art. When I was young, I only knew that he was very strict and unsmiling. His legs were crippled and he couldn't move. He liked me and Jingyun to beat his legs. .Now I know that his legs are fake. And my left leg and left hand are probably useless, and the master gave them to use. "
Sima Hui couldn't move his left leg and left hand all the time, and the imperial doctor tried various methods, but to no avail.
Ling Chen said: "I'll let Qingyun show you later, she has some strange healing methods, which are more effective than imperial doctors."
The guards outside came to report: "Your Majesty, General Han Zhitao is asking to see you."
"Please." Sima Hui said hastily.
Han Zhitao strode into the Qingsong Palace, Ling Chen saw his expression, and knew that the deal should be done.
He bowed to everyone, and reported to Ling Chen about his negotiation in Gaudi country.
"Your Majesty, Gao Jiyu agreed to join forces with us to attack Changrong, but he said that after the event is completed, we will need the three cities of Sishui, Fengshui, and Shangrao," Han Zhitao said.
Sima Hui immediately said: "These three cities are the gates of the Changrong Kingdom, and the three cities are connected together."
Ling Chen thought for a while: "Just give him the two cities of Sishui and Fengshui. If you agree, you can do it tomorrow night! In this way, first cut off the food and grass supply of Chang Yunshan's army, and then find someone to burn his food and grass reserves , to create panic, Huo Jingyun is eager to win, and will not retreat, at that time, Nan Zhao, Gaudi, and our people will send troops together, and Huo Jingyun's 200,000 troops will be eaten!"
Just as he was talking, Hua Yan walked in.
"Brother Ling, I haven't had lunch yet, I'm hungry." Without waiting for the notification, she went in directly and sat beside Ling Chen.
"Where is Qingyun, why isn't she with you?" Ling Chen asked Huayan.
Hua Yan looked around: "She has come here a long time ago, she said she came to look for Sima Hui, uh, Your Majesty."
Ling Chen stood up: "She hasn't been here. When did she say she would come?"
"It's been more than half an hour, and I have slept through it."
Sima Hui immediately told Sun Lu: "Go, send someone to every intersection in the palace to ask if you have seen Princess Qingyun."
Zhang Yang followed and walked out.
Ling Chen felt uneasy, did she go to find Chen Heran and the others? Then she couldn't just leave without saying a word, she would meet Sima Hui anyway.
Ling Chen stood up, Han Zhitao saw his expression changed, and knew something must have happened.
Sima Hui said: "If Qingyun hadn't gone away by himself, in my palace, the only one who can take Qingyun away is Huo Jingyun."
Ling Chen went out and came back, holding Hua Yan's arm with both hands: "Did you do anything to her?"
Huayan changed her face angrily: "Brother Ling, don't think that Qingyun is so kind, it's because she bullied me!"
Ling Chen still stared at her and said slowly: "Really?"
Huayan was furious at this moment: "Yes, I killed her, cut her into pieces and threw them away!"
Seeing Huayan's reaction, Ling Chen knew that she really didn't move Qingyun.
Ling Chen let her go: "You'd better not move her mind a bit."
Hua Yan shook off Ling Chen's hand, and ran out crying. Sima Hui hurriedly said to Sun Lu: "Hurry up, send someone to follow Princess Huayan, she must not have any more accidents."
The guards outside came back from time to time to report: "Princess Qingyun was not found!" "Princess Qingyun was not found!" "..."
Ling Chen sent an order to Han Zhitao: "You go back to Gaudi Kingdom immediately and agree to all his conditions. You take our people and conquer Changrong Kingdom together with Gaudi Kingdom!"
Sima Hui said: "Ling Chen, don't worry, Qingyun should be fine. Huo Jingyun won't hurt her."
Ling Chen said: "Huo Jingyun can't, but your master, I have always felt that he is not a real sword master, and I can't find out his identity. This person has ulterior motives, so I have to guard against it."
Sima Hui said: "I followed him since I was a child, and I haven't heard what my father said, but since his leg is not really lame, then there is something wrong with him, but Huo Jingyun will not let him kill Qingyun. "
Ling Chen took a deep breath, and said with a dark face: "Old Han, go quickly, according to the original plan, only give him two cities. It's better to be fast than slow, things will change if you're slow."
Han Zhitao hurried away.
Zhang Yang turned around and came back, looked at Ling Chen and shook his head.
Ling Chen had just calmed down, he had indeed not been this excited for a long time. Qingyun is still the only one who can disturb his mood.
Sima Hui said: "Qingyun herself will not be killed easily. Although she has no intention of harming others, she is not a person who suffers. If Huo Jingyun really kidnapped her, he will definitely use her to blackmail her. You, you must not be messed up. Just wait and see what conditions he proposes."
Ling Chen said: "After all, she is a woman, I can't take her risk again." Ling Chen finished speaking and looked at Zhang Yang: "Go and see Hua Yan, just say that the king invited her over for dinner."
Sima Hui ordered the maid to prepare meals. His right hand gently rubbed his left hand. His left hand had no strength, and he could no longer lift the sword. He was originally left-handed.
Sima Hui said lightly: "If you win this battle, I mean if you win Huo Jingyun, Nanzhao Kingdom will be like everyone else."
Ling Chen glanced at him and understood what he meant, he wanted to surrender to Daxing.
Ling Chen nodded: "Okay."
Such an important matter was decided lightly.
Sima Hui watched Ling Chen staring at the outside in a daze, and comforted him: "Now we can only wait, don't worry, if you are anxious, you will really be fooled by Huo Jingyun."
Seeing that Ling Chen was silent, he asked him again: "When did you marry Qingyun?"
Ling Chen thought for a while: "As long as she wants, anytime."
Sima Hui nodded: "Can you agree to her conditions? I heard that she doesn't seem to tolerate others."
Ling Chen raised his face and smiled: "She is indeed a sour eater."
"However, after going through too many things, you don't think that having more women is not a good thing. Everything has its own advantages and disadvantages. You don't need to marry to solve some things. Although it increases some costs, it also reduces some disputes. What's more, with the one you like When you are with a woman like you, you feel different." Ling Chen said.
Sima Hui smiled, his teeth were dazzlingly white, and his high cheekbones were slightly wrinkled: "Then why don't you lose a lot of scenery? For example, Princess Huayan has a soft spot for you. If it were me , married together."
Ling Chen shook his head: "Huayan is a good girl. Since I can't give her what she wants, I don't want to hold her back. Just like the flowers in your yard, they are colorful and bloom freely. If you put them in a vase, they will last for a few days. I’m tired of watching it. Life is short, I only want the one I like, and I don’t want to treat myself too badly.”
"It seems that you have been sincerely moved." Sima Hui said lightly.
Sima Hui was in a daze. In his harem, there used to be a woman who was as willful and true as Qingyun. Some people said that she was his favorite woman. Concubine Xue.
The woman he loves the most. His eyes dimmed.
He suddenly realized that he hadn't thought of this person for a long time. It turned out that he was really a ruthless person.
