The General Said She Didn’t Take a Wife

Chapter 66: fight for power

In the depths of the grassland, the prosperous and prosperous Boka tribe still has beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery. On the lush grassland outside the tribe, there are flocks of cattle and sheep, making a sound from time to time, and the barbarians who are grazing gather together in threes and fives. , Laughing and talking about another harvest this year.

The weather in Beichen's drought did not seem to have had a serious impact on the barbarians, especially the Boka clan who went deep into the grasslands. The surrounding rivers were enough to feed these nomads.

As the most majestic and solemn Boka Palace in the Boka tribe, it was exceptionally quiet today.

On the corridor of the palace, the guards stationed on the side were trembling and trembling. They didn't dare to say a word to each other. Deep apprehension and fear, as if some terrible, unstoppable catastrophe was about to come.

The Boka people are in an extremely critical period, they can't decide their own destiny, the superiors fighting each other for power will not bring any benefit to them, only an inadvertent disaster.

Everyone in the palace was in danger, and no one dared to enter.

Her Majesty the Barbarian King was seriously ill, and the princess invited many excellent doctors from the clan to see it, but failed to achieve the slightest result. In order to save the barbarian king's life, the princess left a heavy army to guard the palace, and sent many cronies to take care of the barbarian king, and she herself led the troops. He went to Xingbeiguan, and wanted to capture the famous doctor of Beichen country to treat the barbarian king.

It has been half a month since the princess led the army out, and the specific result is unknown, but there are still two princes in the palace who are fighting each other with all their might.

At the beginning, Zheji led the army to set out. Shortly after leaving the Boca station, the eldest prince and the second prince joined together, calculated Zheji's itinerary, and estimated that she would not be able to return to help immediately, so they secretly led their respective 50,000 personal soldiers to surround them. After entering the palace, he forcibly broke through the defense under Zhe Ji cloth, and managed to delay the barbarian king's forbidden army, and broke into the barbarian king's palace while the chaos.

Right now, before Zhe Ji came back, the two princes had torn their face with the barbarian king, asking him to write the edict to pass the throne before Zhe Ji came back.

In the palace of the barbarian king, the eldest prince Xiu Mu and the second prince Xiu He were quarreling. They were hostile to each other over whose name was written on the edict. At the same time, they each have 50,000 soldiers and horses. No one can do anything about the other. They are all red-eyed for the throne that is so close at hand, and they want to put to death their relatives who have grown up together since childhood.

And the old barbarian king, who was seriously ill, witnessed all this, and was lying on the bed in tears.

He is both guilty and remorseful. He hates that he failed to teach these two sons well, and that he is blinded by power. Over the years, he has focused on how to expand the territory of the Boka family and how to become the leader of the grasslands. In these matters of government, he neglected to teach his son, and thus brewed such bitter wine, he could only swallow it himself.

The two princes in the bedroom were at each other's throats. The eldest prince Xiu Mu looked at his younger brother angrily and said unceremoniously:

"Xiu He, you and I are both direct descendants, I am Er's brother! There is a difference between young and old, and the throne should be passed on to me!"

Xiu He's fangs that had been hidden for many years were also revealed at this time. The cold light in his eyes disappeared, he snorted softly, and returned to Xiu Mu mercilessly:

"Ergui is a brother, but he has no talent or virtue. So far, he has been making plans for his brother behind the king's back. Does the king have no self-knowledge?!"

Hearing this, Xiu Mu was shocked and angry, his face changed rapidly, his heart was full of anger, he gritted his teeth, wishing that he could directly tear the sneering face of this man in front of him into pieces!

However, just when the two brothers were at a stalemate, an urgent report suddenly came from outside the palace. A guard rushed over and knelt down at the door of the store. In the eyes of the two princes, they shouted tremblingly:

"His Royal Highness, Second Prince! Her Royal Highness is back, and she is thirty miles away from the palace!"

The two princes were shocked, they looked at each other with horror on their faces, Xiu Mu's face sank, and he hurriedly shouted at Xiu He:

"The two of you and I will continue to fight, and when Wang Mei returns, the matter is still inconclusive, and neither of us will be able to please!"

Xiu He's face was also extremely ugly. Xiu Mu made it clear that if he didn't give in, he wouldn't retreat, even if it was delayed until Zhe Ji came back, the two sides would not hesitate.

Xiu Mu has no brains and will ignore it on impulse, but Xiu He is different. He endured it for a long time, and finally waited for this opportunity. They will all be charged with murdering the king, and there will be no place in Boca from now on!

How ruthless their sister's heart is and how decisive her decision-making is, he has always deeply experienced it!

Xiu He clenched his teeth violently. Today, he miscalculated. He originally thought that Xiu Mu was in control. Unexpectedly, this person also hid private soldiers. At this point, none of them can do anything. Just as Xiu Mu said, if they continue to delay, none of them will get the throne. Let this matter continue to deteriorate, and Zhe Ji will find an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they will have nothing to do with them.

"Let the father and king write the name of the king's brother on the book of succession!"

Xiu He compromised.

Since Zhe Ji's return is imminent, the matter is urgent, and it will be left to the limelight to pass, and then make plans. Anyway, once the barbarian king dies and the old system has not been changed, the princess still has no right to succeed the barbarian king. At that time, he will try to join forces with Zhe Ji to overthrow Xiu Mu. Although this move is dangerous, it can still be a fight.

Hearing this, Xiu Mu was overjoyed, he laughed, stepped forward and patted Xiu He on the shoulder, the undisguised smug smile almost flowed from his eyes, his face changed as fast as turning a book:

"Brother Wang is so righteous and sensible, it's really a blessing for my brother!"

A moment ago, he was still considering the person in front of him as a mortal enemy for the ownership of the throne, but now he suddenly smiled happily, as if the dispute just now had never happened, and continued to call Xiu He brothers.

Xiu He's eyes sank, the brilliance in his eyes was dim, and he stopped speaking.

Now that a decision has been made, Xiu Mu is naturally unwilling to procrastinate. The two brothers immediately walked to the barbarian king's bedside. Although Xiu He was reluctant, he was forced to make a compromise by the current situation, so he did not hesitate any more. When the barbarian king was in front of him, he took the initiative to say:

"Then ask the father and the king to pass the throne to the king."

The barbarian king's eyes were wet, and the tears in his eyes were cloudy.

He let out a long sigh, lowered his head as if resigned, reached out and directly dipped his finger in the vermilion ink handed to the bed by the attendant, and made a stroke on the edict. While the two brothers were waiting nervously, the barbarian king paused and stopped. After writing, Xiu Mu looked anxious, stepped forward quickly, and asked anxiously:

"Father?!"

The barbarian king raised his eyes, glanced at Xiu Mu with those cloudy eyes, and said:

"You must promise me, take the edict, and not persecute Zhe Ji."

Xiu Mu can't wait to slash Zhe Ji with a thousand knives. In his plan, once he gains power, he will immediately remove Zhe Ji, no matter whether this will damage his reputation or not, for him, Zhe Ji is An out-and-out sea of ​​​​fire, this disaster must not be left behind. If Zhe Ji survived for a day, he felt like a light on his back, and he would not be able to live in peace at all.

Therefore, when the King Man made such a request, Xiu Mu's face subconsciously sank, but before he could speak, Xiu He took a step ahead of him, shoved his elbow, interrupting what Xiu Mu might have said, and quickly said:

"Father, don't worry, Sister Wang and we are also close relatives. She is safe and doesn't take the initiative to pick things up. The two of us will not trouble her!"

No matter what Xiu Mu thinks, Xiu He definitely doesn't want Xiu Mu to kill Zhe Ji after he takes the throne. He also wants to use Zhe Ji's hand to revive and completely overthrow Xiu Mu, so before he gains power, no matter what No matter what, Xiu Mu would not be allowed to do anything to Zhe Ji.

Although Xiu Mu was unhappy, in this case, he still knew that he had to focus on the overall situation, first stabilize the barbarian king, and what would happen after he really got the power? Wasn't he the one who had the final say? So after Xiu He's voice fell, he didn't say anything to refute, instead he nodded in agreement:

"What the second brother said is good, please rest assured."

The barbarian king is old, and he knows that the two brothers are talking in front of him because they don't want to make each other too ugly, but what they really think behind their back is beyond his control.

He reluctantly shook his head, the matter had come to this point, and there was no room for change. Even if the Xiu Mu Xiu He brothers had bad intentions, he had no choice but to pray that Zhe Ji would have a way to deal with it.

If he can really choose, he would rather not have Boca's Changlong today, and only hope that this small world is still the pure land that cleans people's hearts more than ten years ago. He misses the time when Boca was not yet rising, the family was happy, there were not so many fights, no brothers turned against each other, and relatives became enemies.

The barbarian king was saddened, and his eyes were dimmed with tears.

When Zhe Ji led a 150,000-strong army across the grassland and returned to Boka, the palace was under martial law. As soon as she approached, she was stopped by the guards outside the palace.

Zhe Ji frowned and her eyes were cold. When she saw this scene, she knew that something had happened in the palace. Even though she had left some personal soldiers to guard the palace of the king before she left, for half a month, the two brothers Xiu He Xiumu People must find a way to break the blockade she set up.

She was anxious in her heart, and her face became even more fierce, her eyes swept across the guard's face, and she made the man tremble all over, knelt down in panic, and called out "His Royal Highness".

"what happened?"

she asked with a cold face.

But the guard just knelt down tremblingly, unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Hahaha... Wang Mei, guard against arrogance, guard against arrogance, guard against arrogance and rashness, you will make our soldiers feel afraid! Taking anger on innocent people will humiliate our royal family!"

When the guards trembled and almost collapsed, Xiu Mu's voice came from the palace, Xiu He followed him, a step behind, and behind the two, there were also a long group of palace guards.

Seeing this scene, Zhe Ji already understood what was going on.

Obviously, Xiu Mu has already obtained the military power to dispatch the imperial palace's forbidden army, and this right can only be possessed by the barbarian king.

No matter what means he used, in a word, he had already been succeeded by the barbarian king. He was the new barbarian king, and had the power to dispatch the imperial army.

The Boka Palace has 100,000 imperial troops, plus Xiu Mu and Xiu He's own private soldiers, adding up to more than 200,000, and Xiu Mu has already obtained the kingship. The entire palace and Boca public opinion are more inclined to support Xiu Mu. , Zhe Ji raised his troops to fight against Xiu Mu, which was a treason.

The situation is extremely unfavorable for Zhe Ji. Although she has the strength to lead the troops to directly attack the palace, the life of the barbarian king is still in the hands of the Xiu Mu Xiu He brothers. She has made a decision earlier that she will not use force to resolve conflicts before her father Xian died. , Even if Xiu Mu Xiu He and the two brothers are stubborn, they are the sons of the barbarian king after all. Even if he hates them, if he learns that something happened to them, he will still be sad.

Zhe Ji actually doesn't care about the current situation. Since she has made up her mind to leave the grassland and go to Xingbeiguan and find Yunyan, she has already made such preparations in her heart. The bottom line of the prairie people, so Zhe Ji dared to leave Boka temporarily and lead the army when he was sure that the barbarian king was seriously ill, but he could barely support him for a while.

What happened in front of her was not beyond her expectations.

The old man king is seriously ill, and his time is running out. If he keeps the two brothers arrogant for a while, it will be fine. With the ability to cultivate harmony, one can imagine the extent to which he can do it.

"Brother Wang is very satisfied and his wishes have been fulfilled. Sister Wang is here to congratulate Brother Wang!"

The corner of Zhe Ji's lips twitched, her eyes sneering.

Xiu Mu didn't mind Zhe Ji's attitude at all. He was in power now, and he felt that Zhe Ji's life and death were completely under his control. He laughed at the sarcastic words, looking extremely cheerful:

"Today alone cannot be without Wang Mei's credit!"

Speaking of the last few words, the corners of Xiu Mu's lips twitched, and there was murder in his eyes, but he quickly dissipated the savage color without revealing it. Although the translocation hall has not yet been held, he has already called himself an orphan, and he seems impatient and extraordinarily arrogant.

Zhe Ji glanced at him, not entangled with him on this matter, only said:

"How is your father now?"

Xiu Mu knew that she would ask about the barbarian king, so he said:

"Of course the king is safe and is resting in the bedroom."

When Zhe Ji heard the words, she lowered her eyebrows, not wanting to talk to Xiu Mu any more, and walked towards the barbarian king's palace.

Xiu Mu's arm poked around, blocking Zhe Ji's way forward, with a faint cold light in his eyes, he asked:

"What is Miss Wang doing here? Father and Wang just took a rest, so don't disturb me."

Zhe Ji stopped in her footsteps, her eyebrows squinted, her eyes were cold like waterfalls, Xiu Mu was provocative again and again, and she had reached her bottom line. Do you really think she can do anything?

Xiu Mu was swept away by Zhe Ji's gaze, and immediately aroused the fear buried in his heart, and his back subconsciously shivered. But he quickly thought that he was now the new barbarian king, and the entire Boka clan had to obey his orders. No matter how strong Zhe Ji was, as long as she didn't dare to use force in public, she was a paper tiger, nothing to be afraid of .

Therefore, Xiu Mu calmed down, straightened his back, looked Zhe Ji's eyes directly for the first time, and plucked up his courage to stare back.

The corners of Zhe Ji's lips twitched, her smile was cold, and there was a hint of serenity:

"I'll give Brother Wang a piece of advice. It's better to keep a low profile as a human being."

With a movement of Xiu Mu's throat, his jealousy resurfaced, and almost instantly the flame of anger broke through his forbearance and false benevolence. He is already a barbarian king, with power in his hands, how could Zhe Ji still speak to him with such an attitude? She is contradicting the king and committing the following crimes!

He was so angry that he took a step forward and wanted to grab Zhe Ji by the throat, to smash her into pieces and put her to death!

But after he took a step forward, Zhe Ji quickly grabbed his wrist and broke it with force, Xiu Mu's complexion suddenly changed, and a sharp pain came from the wrist, causing him to turn pale in an instant.

He gritted his teeth and was about to scold him angrily, when suddenly a panicked scream came from the palace, chaotic footsteps came one after another, and a guard quickly stepped forward and stopped beside Xiu Mu. But seeing the situation in front of him, the guard's words that had already reached his lips stopped abruptly, as if they were caught in his throat.

Zhe Ji let go of Xiu Mu's hand at the right time, and Xiu Mu was able to stagger back. He widened his eyes and glared at the guard angrily, feeling that he had been disgraced in front of the servants, and he shouted angrily:

"What's up?!"

The guard trembled, knelt on the ground with a thud, and reported in a panic:

"Report to Your Majesty, the little prince and princess were taken away!"

Now that Xiu Mu has become the new barbarian king, his son and his wife are the new prince and princess of Boka.

"What did you say?!!"

Hearing this, Xiu Mu's face changed suddenly, and he was so anxious that he couldn't even care about the pain like a needle stick in his wrist.

"How did you get caught? Who caught it?! What are the guards doing?!"

The guard who came to report the situation was trembling with fright, but it was difficult for him to answer these questions. Frightened, he could only reluctantly answer:

"Hui, Reply to Your Majesty, the person here is strong in martial arts, and the guards guarding the palace of His Highness are not opponents at all..."

"waste!"

Xiu Mu was furious and threw the man back to the ground.

Xiu He, who was beside Xiu Mu, raised his eyes, his eyes quickly swept across Zhe Ji's half-smiling face, and then quickly lowered his gaze, already thinking about it, knowing that it was the manpower sent by Zhe Ji.

I want to come to Zhe Ji to make arrangements long before she left. Although it took some hands and feet, and the means were indeed made, but Xiu Mu was unkind, unjust, and unfilial, so why should she worry about the way to achieve the goal?

And she also has a bottom line in her heart, and she won't do it unless she has to.

"Brother Wang, why are you so restless? You need to know that you should guard against arrogance and arrogance, guard against arrogance, guard against arrogance and arrogance, you may make our soldiers feel afraid! Taking anger on innocent people will humiliate our royal family. !"

Zhe Ji took time to relax, and calmly wrapped her arms around her chest, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were extremely cold, and she would repeat what Xiu Mu had said without restraining her sarcasm.

Xiu Mu's heart skipped a beat, and after a brief anger, he quickly recovered. At this time, Zhe Ji's attitude was obviously inseparable from this matter. He threw the guard down, glared at Zhe Ji angrily, and asked viciously:

"It's you who's doing the **** again, right?! Immediately let my wife and children go! Otherwise, I'll slash you with thousands of pieces!"

Now, he doesn't want to play that brother-friend and sister-in-law drama with Zhe Ji anymore. He just wants to cut Zhe Ji in two, so that this overly smart woman doesn't appear in his sight.

Zhe Ji raised the corners of her lips with a sneer, disregarding Xiu Mu's irritated words:

"Brother Wang should understand my temperament. Since I know that I have arrested people, how can I let them go easily? I advise Brother Wang not to stop me this time, or be careful to hear any bad news."

Xiu Mu's face was purple, and he was almost mad with anger:

"You woman with the heart of a scorpion!"

Xiu He didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Although Xiu Mu spent all these years outside, he only had a son who was less than three years old. This was his weakness.

Seeing that Xiu Mu was so irritable, Zhe Ji was extraordinarily calm, and answered without changing her face:

"Yes, I am the heart of a snake and scorpion, but what means are you two using behind your back? You and I know it well, who is really kind?"

Zhe Ji's stubborn words made Xiu Mu unable to refute. He gritted his teeth and wished he could eat the woman in front of him alive, but in the end, considering that his child was still in Zhe Ji's hands, he didn't dare to really push Zhe Ji in a hurry. , had no choice but to grit his teeth and growled angrily:

"Let her in!"

The barbarian king was already dying. Even if Zhe Ji brought a good doctor from Beichen Kingdom, he probably wouldn't have a chance to return to the sky. Asking Zhe Ji to see the old barbarian king would not pose a threat to him.

Zhe Ji snorted coldly and led the army forward, but Xiu Mu stopped the army behind her and looked at her with warning eyes:

"They have to stay."

Zhe Ji has a large army in hand, if he is stationed in the palace as a stronghold, with Zhe Ji's talent in leading troops, it is definitely not easy for him to get a good deal from Zhe Ji. Therefore, he would not let Zhe Ji lead the troops and horses into the palace.

There was a sneer in Zhe Ji's eyes, but she didn't insist. She only brought Yun Yan and a few capable servants, and walked through the guard's line of defense calmly and walked towards the depths of the palace.

She can't fight with Xiu Mu at this time. This cold-blooded and selfish villain can press the knife on her biological father's throat, so how can she expect him to have a deep relationship with her son. Now that he can coerce with his son's life, he has not violated his bottom line. If she really wants to bring the army into the palace, I can't guarantee that this person will jump over the wall in a hurry.

Rather than fighting for power with her brother, Zhe Ji wanted to make sure her father was safe at this time.

When she led people past Xiu Mu's side, the latter's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes froze on Yun Yan who was beside Zhe Ji.

Just now, he has been vigilant of the army behind Zhe Ji, lest Zhe Ji will no longer care about the life of the barbarian king if he disagrees, and will raise troops to rebel. Now that the situation has subsided, he noticed the people following Zhe Ji.

The appearance of Beichen people is very different from that of barbarians. Compared with the roughness of the barbarians, both men and women in Beichen Kingdom are more delicate and delicate. To the ordinary women who were captured from the Beichen border, they were like fairies descending from the earth.

Xiu Mu's eyes were attracted to her in an instant, and it was difficult to move away.

He took a step forward subconsciously, but the attendant beside Zheji protected Zheji and Yunyan in the middle, Zheji led Yunyan through, and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.

"Presumably this woman is the doctor that Zhe Ji brought to Beichen this time."

Xiu He couldn't see Xiu Mu's thoughts, he sneered coldly in his heart, Xiu Mu was really unbelievably stupid, and his own son was still held by Zhe Ji. Now that the matter was settled, he attacked the idea of ​​the Beichen country woman beside Zhe Ji again, which was simply beyond stupid.

But he would never break Xiu Mu's mind. Xiu Mu was so stupid, which made him feel a little relieved. Dealing with an idiot is much easier than dealing with Zhe Ji.

Hearing Xiu He's words, Xiu Mu's throat moved slightly, he pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything.

He ordered the Imperial Army to surround the palace, not allowing Zheji to leave the palace of the barbarian king for half a step. As for the people who Zheji stayed outside the palace, he did not forcefully evict them. Taking advantage of this time, he was going to investigate Zheji secretly. Where did he catch his wife and children? He wanted to find his son before the barbarian king died.

Xiu He glanced at Xiu Mu's back indifferently, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, secretly saying that Xiu Mu was stupid, today is a good time, and the Barbarian King's life is still in his hands, Xiu Mu did not completely get rid of Zhe Ji, then Xiu He. If you want to make achievements after Mu, it is a fool's dream.

Yunyan followed Zhe Ji into the palace, and her expression did not fluctuate much from beginning to end. Even if she saw a royal infighting with her own eyes, she was calm as if she was watching a wonderful drama. .

"Aren't you afraid?"

Zhe Ji squinted at Yun Yan and asked softly.

Yun Yan heard the words, pursed her lips and smiled, the smile was light, but it was pleasing to the eyes:

"Why should you be afraid? I'm already in the enemy's camp. It's up to fate to live or die, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Zhe Ji's eyes fell on Yun Yan's slightly smiling face, her pupils flickered slightly, and then she glanced away:

"You were invited by me to treat my father. As long as I am alive, you will be fine."

Yun Yan lowered her eyes and giggled, she raised her hands indifferently, and walked lightly:

"Even if you are dead, I can still manage to get out. At least your brother, as long as he hits my mind, no matter how much military power he has in his hands, it's useless."

Zhe Ji pursed her thin lips, her eyelids trembled slightly, and Xiu Mu didn't know whether to live or die. If he really dared to provoke Yun Yan, she really couldn't say what the outcome would be.

The two walked into the barbarian king's palace, the palace was very quiet, and all the attendants were silently guarding outside the palace. Compared to their duty of guarding the barbarian king's safety, they seemed to be monitoring the old barbarian king at the moment. Zhe Ji's eyes became colder and colder. She entered the dormitory first, and walked towards the old barbarian king lying on the bed. At the same time, she called out:

"Father, I'm back."

When the old barbarian king on the couch heard Zhe Ji's voice, he burst into tears. The shoulder of the barbarian king, allowing him to borrow strength from himself.

The old barbarian king leaned on Zhe Ji's arm and stood up, with turbid tears streaming down the corners of his eyes, he whimpered and said:

"Father, I'm sorry for you..."

He originally wanted to change the old system and let his most promising and filial daughter inherit the throne, but changing the old system is not a one-time thing. There is a lot of opposition in the palace. He likes to go to war with horses freely, and his tactics are strategic, but because of his frail body, he can easily get sick.

Zhe Ji was unwilling, and gave up her life of brocade clothes and food in a rage, practiced martial arts hard, and fought **** battles in the arena. In addition, her noble status as a princess completely suppressed the women of the Boka tribe who did not want to use martial arts. sound.

Changing the old system is not a matter for the barbarian king alone. No matter how outstanding Zhe Ji is, in the eyes of all the ministers, she can only be a minister, not a king. This is also the reason why, after Xiu Mu and Xiu He forced the Laoman King to hand down the edict to the throne, the position of the ministers in the palace quickly turned to Xiu Mu.

The old barbarian king failed to survive until the reform was successful, so Xiu Mu and Xiu He joined forces to destroy his actions. At the same time, he also suffered from a sudden and serious illness, dragging his body down, leaving him no chance for a second reform. .

"Brother Wang Langzi's ambition, unscrupulous, what does he have to do with his father?"

Zhe Ji calmly appeased the old man's emotions, she patted the old man's back lightly, and went with the flow for him, and then said again:

"I invited a doctor with superb medical skills from Beichen, and asked her to diagnose and treat my father."

After saying that, she looked up at Yunyan and motioned her to come to the bed.

Yun Yan came forward and bowed in front of the old barbarian king:

"Yunyan, the doctor girl of Beichen, has seen the barbarian king."

The Barbarian King's vision was cloudy, and he couldn't see Yunyan's appearance clearly, but he could understand Beichen Kingdom's words. , he didn't want to refuse, and said:

"Excuse the doctor."

Yunyan took the pulse of the old barbarian king. After a while, her brows were slightly frowned, and there was a dark light in her eyes. Zhe Ji quickly noticed her expression, and her heart tightened, and she asked:

"how?"

Yun Yan withdrew his hand and did not answer immediately. He opened the eyes of the old barbarian king and looked at the chaotic lines in his eyes before answering:

"His Majesty the Barbarian has suffered serious physical losses. I will give your majesty acupuncture in a moment, so I can calm down."

She didn't say anything more, but Zhe Ji already had a premonition that something was wrong, her face darkened, but at this time the old barbarian king was in front of her, and she couldn't ask in detail, so she answered Yun Yan's words.

Zheji and Yunyan worked together to help the old barbarian king lie down, and Yunyan took the medicine box that he had detained from Zheji's attendant and took out the silver needle.

She stabbed the slender silver needle into the acupoint on the old barbarian king's head, seeing Zhe Ji's eyelids twitching, and she was terrified. Not long after the silver needle was stabbed, the old barbarian king's consciousness became dazed, and soon, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zhe Ji turned pale in shock, lowered her voice angrily and asked Yun Yan:

"What did you just do?!"

Yunyan glanced at her sideways, and answered indifferently:

"Although His Majesty the Barbarian King has been sick in bed these days, he has been working hard and has not really rested well, so his energy is exhausted. Every time he wakes up, he is consuming the little remaining life essence. At this time, let him A good night’s sleep is the best way to keep warm.”

After listening to Yun Yan's explanation, Zhe Ji felt a little at ease, but her frowning brows did not loosen, her face was still heavy, and she asked again:

"How is your father's illness? Is there any way to cure it?"

Yun Yan, who was giving needles to the barbarian king, frowned slightly:

"If I give him daily acupuncture and warm nourishment with decoction, he can live for three months."

The old barbarian king has run out of fuel, and his long-term worries about government affairs have made his body worse and worse. This serious illness is just a guide, and all the old diseases buried in his body are involved. He should have died when the disease occurred. Fortunately, Zhe Ji found out in time and sent a doctor to treat him, so that the old Man King's condition could be stabilized, and he was dragged to Yunyan to see.

three months.

This figure is already much better than Zhe Ji expected. She was in a heavy heart, but if there was no cloud and smoke, looking at the previous state of the old barbarian king, he might not be able to hold it within ten days.

Zhe Ji pursed her lips, looked at Yun Yan's busy figure, and sighed:

"Thank you."

Yunyan moved her hands for a while, and then raised her eyes:

"You don't need to thank me, and, I have something else to tell you, His Majesty the Barbarian King's illness didn't break out suddenly, but someone secretly made trouble."

As soon as these words came out, Zhe Ji was shocked. She stood up abruptly, and a dazzling light erupted in her eyes. She glared at Yun Yan and shouted in a low voice:

"What do you mean by that?!"

Yunyan shrugged and said bluntly:

"It literally means that someone secretly murdered the barbarian king and did tricks in the meal. Otherwise, why do you think everything happened so coincidentally?"

Originally, Yunyan only had doubts in her heart. After all, the process of Zhe Ji's attack on Xingbeiguan was too smooth, as if someone was pushing the boat behind the scenes. However, she took the pulse of the old barbarian king just now. Judging from the barbarian king's pulse condition, his illness was caused by improper diet, conflict between cold and heat, and excessive physical deficiency. If a coincidence is a coincidence, then the coincidences are all connected together, it is inevitable. .

She squinted at Zhe Ji and asked:

"Who is the person who gave you the information on Xingbeiguan's defense?"

Zhe Ji's face changed again and again, she was not stupid, and when Yun Yan mentioned it, she understood what Yun Yan meant. She was just shocked, that man's hand could really stretch so far, to reach the barbarian hinterland, and to control the fate of the Boka family?

Zheji didn't answer immediately, and Yunyan didn't urge her. She vaguely had an answer in her heart. Whether Zheji answered or not, she had her own guesses, but if Zheji gave her an answer, she would be able to base it on Zheji. In other words, make a more precise judgment.

After a while, Zhe Ji clenched her fists and replied coldly:

"It's Xuanhe."

Yunyan continued to give the old barbarian king acupuncture. Hearing this, he glanced at Zhe Ji again, and let out a chuckle, with a look of "letting you not cooperate with me well, be quick for quick success and seek skin with tigers".

Zhe Ji was very embarrassed, her face was sullen, and the light in her eyes flickered, making it difficult to see what she was thinking.

About half an hour later, Yunyan took off all the silver needles stuck on the old barbarian king, burned them with candles, and then picked them up. At this time, Zhe Ji asked again:

"Can you find out who's behind the scenes?"

She was still a little unbelievable. She felt that Bei Chenhe's hand could reach inside Boka and go straight to the Barbarian King's side. Han, thinking about whether the previous agreement with Xuanhe was worth it, and whether to reconsider.

Originally, to Beichen, barbarians were tigers and wolves, eyeing the Beichen realm. When Xing Beiguan fell one by one, they could drive hundreds of thousands of troops south and trample on Beichen land at any time.

But if Beichenhe takes hold of her lifeline, then the identity between hunter and prey will be changed. Before she develops ambitions for Beichen's land, she must first be prepared for Beichenhe's idea of ​​​​playing the grasslands.

Yunyan put away the silver needle, chuckled lightly, and replied:

"His Royal Highness, this is the grassland. It's your own business to investigate who is causing trouble and who is plotting against you?"

Zhe Ji was choked by Yunyan, and although her face darkened, she was unable to refute.

She immediately ordered the attendants to investigate the servants who had been in contact with the old man's meals when the old man was ill. Yunyan only shook her head and said nothing when she saw her like this. In her opinion, it has been so long. Bei Chenhe is playing tricks behind his back, so he definitely won't leave any evidence. Even if someone sets foot in, it will be cleaned up and there will be no clues.

The matter was just as Yun Yan had expected, Zhe Ji ordered people to investigate secretly, and Xiu Mu put in more obstacles to prevent accidents. In the end, several people who were finally found out died inexplicably within a few days. Zhe Ji was helpless. , had to stop the investigation, and stayed in the palace to accompany the old barbarian king.

Yunyan was quite touched by Zhe Ji's filial piety. She remembered that Lin Aoxue's parents died early and lived alone in the world with hardships, and she felt sour in her heart and filled her heart with pity.

It has been several days since she left Xingbeiguan. When she parted with Lin Aoxue, the man was riding on the horse, and the look of forbearance and grievance in her eyes seemed to be still in front of her eyes, making her heart soft and soft, the pain was not severe, but it was like Maggots on the tarsus cannot be removed.

The gentleman she was thinking of was actually a little girl who was prone to crying. After removing the venomous disguise on the outside, Lin Aoxue was sensitive and fragile at heart, and it was easy to provoke people's hearts. After she left, Lin Aoxue was alone in Xingbeiguan. .

I don't know if Lin Aoxue saw the letters she left behind. She hoped that Lin Aoxue could stay in Xingbeiguan to recuperate and recuperate. Beichenlong was about to lose power. The dazzling one was undoubtedly Lin Aoxue.

She was a little worried in her heart, if Bei Chenhe put his mind on Lin Aoxue, that person must be in the wind and rain again, and he would inevitably be hurt. Fortunately, Xing Beiguan still has Pei Qing, Bei Chenlong was injured, and the most important soldiers are Lin Aoxue and Pei Qing. If Lin Aoxue saw her letter, he should get in touch with Pei Qing. , it was much better than Lin Aoxue being alone.

Yunyan sighed softly. After she left Xingbeiguan and came to the grassland, her calm mood fluctuated again when she thought of Lin Aoxue. As long as she thought of Lin Aoxue, she could not wait to put her wings on and fly back to Xingbeiguan immediately, but the difference between ideal and reality There were always chasms that were difficult to overcome, and both she and Lin Aoxue had to learn to be rational and mature.
