Dai Ziling

Chapter 178 Make the Best Use of Everything
Three days later, at midnight, Mu Yan brought the news that the two generals Sima Murong led the army to go out.

After Teng Xuanyi was silent for a while, he smiled and said, "Why bother?"

Mu Yan was puzzled and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean..."

Teng Xuanyi said: "No one knows that they are two fierce generals of our Yiqi Army. If they win, the two of them will get some honor. People will say that the soldiers of Yiqi Army are nothing more than that. As long as there are good generals, Then any soldier in Nandan will not be worse than the Yiqi Army; but if we lose, what if I say that the soldiers of the Yiqi Army went out with the army? It’s just a sentence from the father, and right and wrong are black and white. He decides."

Mu Yan clenched his fists and said unwillingly: "Then we can only watch? Your Highness! Please allow me to go to the border, and my subordinates promise that I will never reveal my identity. We... can't lose!"

Patting Mu Yan's arm, Teng Xuanyi comforted: "Don't worry, I have my own plan. Mu Yan, Nandan... can't go on like this!"

With a fixed gaze, Mu Yan understood what Teng Xuanyi meant. He clasped his fists silently, bowed and walked out of Biyou Pavilion slowly. After waiting for so long, he finally saw some hope.

Standing at the door, Zhu Lan looked at Mu Yan's tough and slightly heavy back, and felt blocked: No wonder all the immortals have gone through the mortal calamity as the way of practice. The suffering in this world is really cleansing the soul. As a bystander, I feel embarrassed and helpless, let alone them in the game...

Turning around, Teng Xuanyi saw Zhu Lan's solemn face, and said softly: "Injustice is not the only thing here, we will do our best."

Zhu Lan asked in astonishment, "Are you able to read minds?"

Teng Xuanyi smiled and said: "I was talking to myself, why, it's in your heart again?"

Turning a blind eye to Teng Xuanyi, Zhu Lan sat on the steps at the door. At this time, Zixi was already sound asleep, and the Biyou Pavilion looked extraordinarily deserted. The bright moonlight shrouded around the two handsome and exiled immortal men. like fog.

Carefully took out Dai Zi Chun Yu from his bosom, Zhu Lan put it in his palm and stared at it speechlessly, the thin layer of hoarfrost shone brightly under the moonlight, it was particularly eye-catching in the cold night.

"This is..." Teng Xuanyi blurted out in surprise, he couldn't help getting closer, staring intently at the piece of pure feather in Zhu Lan's palm, for a long while, he couldn't say a word.

"It's nothing." Zhu Lan gently curled up her fingers, put Chun Yu back into her arms, looked at Teng Xuanyi, and said helplessly: "Indeed, there are not only injustices here, some can be done with the best, and some are Powerless...but think about it carefully, she... has suffered far more injustice than us. So, you and I, don't have any entanglements, let alone think about fulfillment or possession, she, first get well, The rest makes sense, understand?"

Involuntarily touching his left arm, Teng Xuanyi nodded and said, "You can do whatever you say."

With a calm smile, Zhu Lan stood up and said: "General Sima and the others will take nearly two months to reach the border at the earliest. Heng Cang doesn't have that much patience. He will definitely make some noises to force you to take out the token. You ..."

Teng Xuanyi calmed down, and said disdainfully: "Forcing me? He is not worthy!"

Zhu Lan said: "What do you want?"

Teng Xuanyi thought for a while, raised one corner of his mouth, and whispered something into Zhulan's ear.

"True loss!" Zhu Lan said in disgust.

Teng Xuanyi took out a yak jade plaque from his waist, tilted his head and smiled, "Then, do you want to do it?"

"Yeah! Do it!"

After receiving the jade card, Zhu Lan had already walked towards the gate before he finished speaking. Looking at his back, Teng Xuanyi stood on the spot and slowly lowered his head.

The next morning.

A crisp and loud smashing sound broke the tranquility in the Taiping Pavilion.

Heng Cang pinched his own throat, looking at the jade tablet next to his pillow in horror, the totem was lifelike, every hair on the bull's head was extremely clear, and the bull's eyes radiated a fierce look, as if the holy object had manifested itself.

He wanted to call for someone, but found that he couldn't make a sound. He was really frightened.

Hearing the noise coming from the room, the attendants outside the door hurried in, and seeing Heng Cang's crazy appearance, they were shocked: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

His face was pale, his fists clenched tightly, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching. Heng Cang pointed tremblingly at the jade tablet beside his pillow. The attendant turned his head to look, and was startled, took two steps back, and said in astonishment: "How could this !"

Heng Cang closed his eyes and tried his best to calm himself down. He pointed to his throat again and shook his head. The attendant immediately understood and exclaimed again:
"how so!"

Heng Cang picked up the jade token, looked at it carefully, and motioned to the attendant to bring his jade token. After comparing, Heng Cang sat down on the bed all of a sudden, this...wasn't Teng Xuanyi doing it?Could it be that his subordinates were captured by someone, and his purpose of coming here was revealed?He lightly stroked the fur on the totem, and suddenly felt puzzled. This... didn't seem to be from an animal, but rather...
Heng Cang was stunned, what is the meaning of this?

At this time, in King Nandan's bedroom, there were also exclamations.

The servants who came to serve King Nandan to get up and wash his hands knelt together and buried their heads in the deepest place, for fear that their heads would be separated if they were not careful.

King Nandan was lying in front of the mirror, looking at the distorted face reflected in it, if it wasn't for the burning pain on his chin reminding himself that this was not a dream, he would have quickly closed his eyes and passed out!
"Presumptuous!" he shouted loudly.

The servants suddenly kneeled on the ground, trembling and afraid to say a word.

Picking up a servant by the neck, King Nandan asked angrily, "Who was keeping watch last night?"

"Back... back... Your Majesty, it's..."

Before waiting for the servant to reply, King Nandan threw him aside and shouted angrily:
"Get out! Get out of here! Anyone who dares to say one more word will be killed immediately!"

The servants scrambled out of the dormitory, with a tinge of joy in their panic.

When I woke up, my face was completely changed. The most frightening thing was that I was unconscious. Who on earth has such ability? Could it be that there are really ghosts in this world...

Thinking of this, King Nandan couldn't help but shudder. There are more than a thousand souls who died unjustly in his hands...

"No, no..." He murmured to comfort himself, his eyes gradually changed from dull to fierce, there must be someone playing tricks behind his back!If you can unknowingly pull out your own beard, you can unknowingly kill yourself. This is a warning!Who is it...

King Nandan walked to the bed while thinking, and suddenly found a corner of paper exposed under the pillow. He frowned, and when he lifted the pillow, he suddenly felt that the yak head totem...was Heng Cang?What exactly does he want to do...

Biyou Pavilion.

Looking at the lock of beard in front of her, Zixi blew her cheeks, and said with a half-smile: "Just a few?"

Zhu Lan said: "Well, I used the rest to make a work of art."

Zixi blinked: "A work of art?"

"Well, I gave it to Prince Yanyu."

"Ah?" The more Zixi listened, the more confused she became. She looked at Teng Xuanyi, and saw that he was also in a daze, as if he didn't know.

Zhu Lan was taken aback, stared at Teng Xuanyi with slightly widened eyes, and thought to herself: Didn't you come up with this bad idea...

Unexpectedly, Teng Xuanyi had an innocent face and pretended to be very curious, saying: "What artwork? Give it to Heng Cang...Why did you give it to him? What can a beard do?"

Zixi nodded again and again, Teng Xuanyi's question was exactly what she wanted to know.

……

Swallowing her throat, Zhu Lan whispered: "Play."

Teng Xuanyi and Zixi said in unison: "What?"

As if a big cauldron was pressing on her back, Zhu Lan took a breath and said, "I have nothing to do, just play."

The cheekbones were squeezed under the eyelids, Zixi smiled and said, "Zhu Lan, when did you become so childish?"

"...I...didn't you say you wanted to pluck out the old man's beard! I did so, and there was not a single hair left! Then I thought about it. It will take some time for our army to reach the border. Let Prince Yanyu and Nandan The king has some doubts in his heart, no one dares to act rashly, isn't that good..."

Zixi thought for a while and said, "Ah...you mean, now the old man thinks that Heng Cang sent someone to pull out his beard, and the artwork Heng Cang received was given by him, is that what you mean?"

Zhu Lan nodded and said, "Almost."

"Then, what exactly is a work of art?"

Zhulan cast a glance at Teng Xuanyi and said, "Yak head jade plaque, with fur."

puff!
"Hahahaha..." Zixi finally couldn't help laughing, patted Zhu Lan's shoulder vigorously, and said, "You really have it! So, the hot-handed jade token was returned? That's not right... Then...then he must have thought it was Teng Xuanyi who did it!"

Zhu Lan said: "Not that one."

Zixi suppressed her smile and asked, "Isn't that the one? That's..."

Teng Xuanyi pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said: "Oh! I remembered, when Xuanyun and I encountered ambush by masters outside the city, thanks to the help of Jiuguan, after they retreated, I picked up a piece of it. The jade medal was later handed over to Nine Crowns..."

Pursing her lips, Zhu Lan glared at Teng Xuanyi, and said in her heart: Good you brat!Lies without batting an eye!Obviously you gave it to me!

"Wow! Zhu Lan, you are so powerful. I thought that such a bad move was only in my mind. Today, this girl has learned a lot. I was worried that Heng Cang would not stop! Let you Such a mess, ha, it is estimated that those two people will not dare to act rashly for the time being."

Zhu Lan sighed, raised his forehead and said: "It's not messy enough, Heng Cang lost his voice after taking my medicine, he must be furious now! King Nandan will probably get the news soon, and the crown prince will be there soon. Our country is sick, and it's a disease that the imperial doctors can't treat. After all, no one knows whether he deliberately didn't say anything about the problem of losing his voice... um... Both of them should be very angry .”

"Hahahahaha... Oops, hahahahaha..." Zixi smiled and bent over: "You are so talented!"

Teng Xuanyi gently held her arm, for fear that she would laugh away. Seeing this, Zhu Lan smiled awkwardly. Taking advantage of Zixi's inattention, she gave Teng Xuanyi a hard look and waved her fist...
