Du Yan walked out of the general's tent, just like when he came. His current identity is only an emissary from the capital, and his identity is sensitive, so he is not suitable for staying in the camp.
When Du Yan returned to the city, night had already fallen, and the county governor's mansion was brightly lit and the banquet was ready, waiting for his return. Du Yan came here under a false name, and did not want to have more trouble, so he went to the village and attended the banquet as the custom.
He sat at the top, watching the female musicians dance below, and drank one sip after another under the compliment of the attentive county magistrate. When the wine was intoxicating, the county magistrate actually pulled the female musician and went to the backyard.
Du Yan shook his head slightly, there are such county guards in the frontier, it is not easy for the general to guard this place for many years.
When he saw that the master had left the table, he waved his hand and said, "I am tired from the journey, I will go back to rest first."
After all, Du Yan got up, he felt a little dizzy, and he barely walked a few steps, his steps staggered.
In the barracks just now, I drank a few glasses with the general. Although Du Yan had controlled his drinking at this banquet, the two wines seemed to be in conflict with each other, which made him a little drunk.
When his body tilted slightly, he felt a warm and fragrant nephrite leaning over: "My lord, concubine concubine you to rest."
Although Du Yan was not interested in female music, but thinking that he was completely unfamiliar with the county governor's office, he did not refuse, and let the woman help him to the backyard wing.
After turning a few corridors, the surrounding environment became more and more quiet, and the woman helped him into a somewhat remote courtyard before stopping.
As soon as the door was opened, Du Yan felt that this place was a bit weird. The room was dark without lights, and it seemed too remote to be used for hospitality.
"you… "
Before Du Yan finished speaking, the woman was gently pushed into the room, and then the door was closed. His steps were vain, he staggered a few steps unprepared, and crashed directly into a person's arms.
anyone
Du Yan subconsciously lifted the dagger on his waist, but the man knew him very well. Before the dagger was unsheathed, it was pressed back into the scabbard.
"Son, the covenant has not been completed yet, so don't stab the covenant to death."
The person who spoke had a low, slightly hoarse voice.
Du Yan loosened his fingers and let go of the sword hilt: "Cheng Yu, are you crazy, why are you running here?"
Cheng Yu saw Du Yan stroking his head and looked dizzy, so he helped him to the side of the couch and sat down.
He raised his hand to light the oil lamp, and then answered: "I heard that you are here, I will send it to the door to communicate with you."
When the light came on, Du Yan slightly sobered up from that state of drunkenness: "I came here in secret, how did you find out?"
Cheng Yu didn't hide it: "The county governor's favorite lady used to be my female musician. She is best at portraits. Although you did some disguise, I recognized it at a glance."
Du Yan knew a little about his methods and didn't ask any further questions. Even the purpose of Cheng Yu's coming, Du Yan can guess one or two without saying much.
These days, Jiang Cheng's two-nation coalition and the original country's army have been deadlocked here, and there has been no progress.
If Chengguo hadn't provided a steady stream of food and grass, King Jiang might have had the intention of retreating again. However, although Chengyu is now considered to be the richest in the world, and holds the largest business firm in his hand, I am afraid that he cannot bear the cost of war.
Under such circumstances, Cheng Yu would definitely be impatient, and it was not unreasonable to take a risk and sneak into the city to find out about her.
Thinking of this, Du Yan said: "You are the original king now, so you don't need to do everything yourself, just send a secret messenger to deliver the news."
Cheng Yu gave him a deep look and said, "I'm not here just to inquire about news. You and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and now we're so close, I feel uneasy when I don't see you."
Du Yan thought he knew the meaning of Cheng Yu's words, and replied directly: "I know you are worried that your plan will change. I came here to be a lobbyist on this trip."
Cheng Yu was a little helpless, and had to turn around and ask, "Is there any loosening in the general's place?"
Du Yan said: "Since what I said, it must be true. My grandfather has agreed to cooperate with my plan, and within half a month, it will be feigned."
Cheng Yu was a little curious: "I heard that the general is an upright man. He is loyal to the former king of the original country, and has guarded the frontier for many years without complaint. How did you convince him?"
Du Yan didn't want to say too much, but then he thought about it, now is the time to stand up to his villain. Now Cheng Yu seems to still have some childhood friendships for himself, and there is absolutely no defense in his words.
He must let the other party know that Young Master Yan is a person with deep scheming and a lot of methods, and he is a strong enemy in the future. Don't be fooled by the previous small favor and Xiaohui.
Thinking of this, Du Yan said frankly: "You know that I am very accomplished in calligraphy."
Cheng Yu nodded with a smile: "Indeed, my calligraphy enlightened you at the beginning, but until now, it is far from yours."
Du Yan continued: "I still have a unique skill, which is to imitate fonts."
In the original plot, Yuan Ning was able to let Cheng Yu leave the capital privately, relying on this unique skill. She imitated her uncle Lieutenant Wu's handwriting, wrote the warrant and stole the lieutenant's seal, and then let Cheng Yu leave.
Yuan Ning can imitate handwriting because of his excellent memory, which is almost unforgettable. When Du Yan set up his identity, he made a coincidence that Tong Yuanning, who is a twin, also has the same talent.
Because of his unforgettable skills, Du Yan knew the subtle changes in the original king's handwriting, and it would not take much effort to imitate it.
"The secret order sent by the king is to appease the general and promise that in the future, if the queen gives birth to a direct son, she will be established as the prince."
Du Yan smiled, looking full of vicious pleasure: "How could I let this letter fall into the hands of my grandfather, so I imitated the king's handwriting and wrote a letter with completely different content, this is to defeat foreigners. The last blow in Zu's heart to guard against."
After Du Yan finished talking about his strategy, he looked at Cheng Yu. I saw the man on the opposite side, and looked over with heavy eyes, Du Yan consciously achieved his goal.
A highly ambitious person like Chengyu would naturally take extra precautions against a scheming opponent. very good.
Cheng Yu looked at the person in front of him fascinatedly, it was so dazzling, his eldest princess, his son Yan, which made him want to hold this person even more. Perhaps at that moment, it will be a bit more gratifying than winning the world.
The two of them had their own thoughts and remained silent for a long time.
Du Yan looked at the beating lights, and the drink that he had just barely suppressed came up again: "Are you going to leave now?"
Cheng Yu replied, "No hurry."
Du Yan pushed aside the cases in front of him: "I'm drunk."
His drunkenness is different from ordinary people. The more drunk he is, the more sober his mind becomes, but after sobering, he will suddenly feel sleepy and then fall into a deep sleep.
In this crisis-ridden frontier, it is very dangerous to fall into a deep sleep, and now Cheng Yu's side has become the safest place. The Jiang Kingdom is still alive, and Cheng Yu is the most reliable ally for the time being.
Du Yan explained that after hearing Cheng Yu saying that he would not leave for the time being, he felt an inexplicable sense of peace in his heart.
"I'll sleep, you watch." Du Yan fell directly on the couch, but felt a little uncomfortable, "Cheng Yu, I haven't cleaned my face yet."
Cheng Yu looked at the person in front of her who was talking drunkenly, with a smile in her voice, but she was extremely gentle: "Go to sleep, leave it to me, princess..."
In a daze, Du Yan felt a warm and soft touch on his face, maybe Cheng Yu was cleaning his face with a damp cloth.
In the end, the soft touch landed on the lips, and he hadn't left for a long time.
Du Yan felt a little impatient, frowned slightly, and waved: "Don't quarrel with me."
Before falling into a deep sleep, he seemed to hear a low laughter, with a little bit of connotation.
***
In April, the general was defeated in Yecheng, and the myth that the former general was invincible in battle was broken, and people all over the country were panicked.
However, the original king felt that the time had come, and sent an army completely in his hands to help the frontier, and ordered a thorough investigation of the defeat, and escorted the general into the capital.
The hearts of the people in the capital are panicked, and the heaven of the original country is about to undergo great changes.
The sky of the original country is indeed about to change.
The former king's bedroom was surrounded by circles, and there was a chilling air everywhere.
In the outer hall, after the former king had dealt with government affairs, there was a tall and straight young man sitting.
Du Yan stopped writing and unfolded what was in his hand in front of the original king: "Father, how does Yan's handwriting compare to yours?"
The original king's hair was messy, and his face was full of embarrassment: "Nizi, Nizi! Now the frontier war is critical, you actually did such a treasonous thing regardless of the country's peril!"
Du Yan glanced at him, and suddenly smiled: "Father, you have been hanging out with such stupid things as Mrs. Hui's mother and son for a long time, but it's actually making you..."
He shook his head and saw that the anger on the original king's face was even more intense, so he continued: "All of this is for today's scene, and it was specially performed in the scene you watched. What do you think?"
The King Yuan opened his eyes wide and murmured, "The proton of Chengguo, you let go? The general was defeated, is it fake?"
"Of course." Du Yan picked up the jade seal on the side, and stamped the seal on the edict that he just wrote, representing the supreme power of the original country.
"Father, you have worked hard for the original country for so many years, and it is time to take care of your life. Next, let's take a look at the prosperous country under Yan's governance."
After Du Yan finished speaking, he turned and left.
The original king finally couldn't contain his anger, and he was about to rush towards the back with a grim expression. However, before he took a step, he was forced back by several long swords.
The door to the main hall slowly closed, leaving only the original king sitting paralyzed in the hall.
Soon after, the original king issued several edicts in succession, one of which was an edict for his own sins, claiming that the original country was in danger because of his own faults.
The second is the imperial edict, called atonement. May I abdicate and concentrate on praying for the country. The position of the original king was succeeded by the eldest son Yuan Yan.
The third is to explain the reason why Yuan Yan, the eldest son, was raised as a daughter. In addition to what Qi Zi, the yin and yang master, said, the alternation of the supreme power of the original country did not cause any storms, and it ended peacefully like this.
