Chapter 206, border emergency

On a dark and windy night, the birds in the woods have already rested.A black shadow quickly passed by, and then another figure followed closely behind.When they came to a flat place, the people in front stopped and stood still.After waiting for the people behind to follow, he slowly turned around.

"What is your Excellency following this king all the way for?" It turned out that the black shadow in front was Xiao Yanling.The latter is a man with a silver mask.They were both dressed in black, and their statures were of equal height.

"Prince Xiao is really good at light work. I'm just curious that the prince is still wandering outside at such a late hour. Why? He is willing to give up the warm and fragrant soft jade of Princess Xiao? Or do you want to buy some wild food?" The visitor's tone was low, and the words were teasing. The meaning made Xiao Yanling raise the corners of his lips evilly.

"Wild food? How do you know that this king likes to eat wild food?"

"Hehe, so Prince Xiao really likes it? I'm just guessing."

"Hmph, Your Excellency, I'm afraid it's not so simple to say a few words." Just now Xiao Yanling did go to Prime Minister Xiao's residence.Did not expect to be found.This is fun, and it's the first time someone has discovered it in more than ten years.

It was precisely because of this that he was even more sure of the identity of the person in front of him.

"Then I have to ask Lord Xiao what is he looking for late at night?"

"Since we are old acquaintances, why don't you show your true colors? Mr. Pound, or should I call you 'Young Master Flying Eagle', or--Mr. Xiao Yicheng?" The eye sockets under the silver mask blinked. .There was a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.Then, he raised his hand and slowly took off the mask.

He showed a bookish and cold face.Both good and evil make people think that he is a double-faced person.

"Prince Xiao really has good eyesight. It has been several months since I left Beihuang. But I still remember it, which is really admirable." A strange smile appeared on his face while speaking, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight to see you. I just don't know, what will I call your Excellency now?" Xiao Yicheng smiled wickedly, "Xiao Yicheng is from the capital county of Yicheng, the youngest in his family. He is only [-] years old. There are three, unmarried." "." Xiao Yanling raised his eyebrows and snorted softly, who cares if you are married or not!He flicked his sleeves angrily.

"Prince Xiao, it's dark and windy tonight, suitable for fighting." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yicheng came towards Xiao Yanling's gate of life like a ghost.The eyes are also narrow and long, but Xiao Yanling's are more slender, and his eyes are lazy until the last moment.

I saw him with one hand attached to his back, one hand condensed inside, and there was a palm collision with Xiao Yicheng's frontal palm.

The mountain trembled for a while and swayed among the trees.The confrontation between the two masters naturally has the momentum that no one else should enter.When Xuanji arrived, he happened to see this scene.

"My lord." He couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw clearly the person opposite the lord.It's Xiao Yicheng.I knew he was uneasy.

"Don't come over, Hou Zhu." Xiao Yanling doesn't want others to help.He was surprised by Xiao Yicheng's internal strength. Shen Muqing almost failed to save Gu Wushuang when he met Feiying.

This guy can even hurt Shen Muqing, it seems that he has some ability.But for him, it's different.

Thinking of the hurt Gu Wushuang had suffered, he wished he could tear him to pieces.I feel uncomfortable, and the palm of my hand is even more superb.Xiao Yicheng felt that Xiao Yanling was full of killing intent towards him.The corners of their lips were raised coldly, and their eyes were not afraid. The two of them were up and down in the night sky like this, fighting inseparably.

Xuanji watched quietly from the side. For now, the prince still has the upper hand.Although Xiao Yicheng's tricks are ruthless.But in terms of internal strength and tricks, it is not as good as Wang Ye's.This is the first time Xuanji has seen the prince deal with a person so viciously.If it weren't for the resentment towards him, he would never have shot so ruthlessly.

In the palace, Gu Wushuang hadn't fallen asleep yet.She was waiting for Xiao Yanling, it was so late, why didn't the prince come back?Could it be that he stayed in the palace?
The mind is sprouting, and there is no sleepiness.

So I sat in front of the desk, reading with a book, and Yaya came in with a bowl of supper in her hand.

"princess."

Gu Wushuang looked up from the desk, "You haven't slept yet?" Putting down the book in his hand, he looked unexpectedly at Yaya who was slowly squatting down with the tray.

"My lord and Xuanji haven't come back yet, and my concubine hasn't slept yet, so I can't sleep either, so I thought about getting up and making some snacks. Later, my lord and Xuanji can also eat some when they come back."

"It's still Yaya who is thoughtful, Zhizhi fell asleep?"

"Well, the child has already gone to bed." Gu Wushuang nodded, his eyes fell on the dishes.

"It's glutinous rice balls." The white glutinous rice balls are half exposed, full and smooth, round and plump.

"By the way, it will be fifteen in a few days."

"Yes, the fifteenth of July."

"I remember that every July [-]th, there is a fireworks show in Kyoto?"

"That's right, the princess didn't ask me during the day, I thought you didn't want to go." Yaya blinked deliberately as she spoke.Gu Wushuang flicked her forehead with his finger.

"Yeah, I don't want to go, don't you want to go too?" It's true that there is no silver 300 taels here.

"Hahaha, the princess still understands me."

Gu Wushuang let out a soft "hiss", and gave her a squinting look.

"They're all mothers, and they still look like they won't grow up."

"Oh, my good princess, my good sister, you know, I like watching fireworks the most."

"I know, I know! I must go." I must go.

Even if she didn't remind, Gu Wushuang felt that the prince would take her there.She is the one who thinks confidently, who told her to have a romantic husband-in-law!

Just think about it.

They ate the glutinous rice balls in small mouthfuls, and the two of them quickly got a bowl of glutinous rice balls in their stomachs.But the grandfather who was waiting for him has not come back yet.He couldn't help but frowned, if he didn't come back so late on weekdays, he would always send a letter to tell him, what happened tonight?
Just when the two women were thinking wildly, two figures came slowly at the door, they were Xiao Yanling and Xuanji.

I saw that the lights were still on in the house, and the door was still open.Xiao Yanling couldn't help quickening his pace.

The princess is not asleep yet, so she is probably waiting for him.

"Princess, the king is back."

He stepped forward and entered the house.

Before Gu Wushuang said anything, he smelled a smell on his body, which had a smell of grass and mud.Where did you go in the middle of the night?
After giving Yaya a wink, Yaya immediately backed out with the tray.

When I came to the door, I saw Xuanji, waiting for her indifferently.

Yaya suddenly frowned, looked at him from top to bottom, from bottom to top, and saw that there seemed to be some dirt on his shoes, she couldn't help frowning, doubts flashed in her eyes.

"My lady, what did you and the concubine have for dinner? I'm hungry, my lord. Can we have supper first?" Xuanji knew that he couldn't escape.I can only sell miserably and cover my stomach with a look of grievance.Yaya pouted, she couldn't bear it after all.Throwing down a sentence: "Come with me!" I walked ahead.Xuanji immediately followed with interest.

In the room, Xiao Yanling was obediently stating what happened that night, reporting everything verbatim.I just ignored those indecent words like "game, wild food".

After Gu Wushuang finished listening, he began to check his body, arms, thighs, and cheeks.Touched almost all over...

"Uh, wangfei, I'm fine, I just used up some internal energy, and that thief can't hurt me." Prince Xiao's mouth was full of arrogance and confidence.The concern for her beloved concubine is still very useful.

But Gu Wushuang gave him a blank look, and said angrily: "Yes, you are very powerful. You ran to other people's roofs in the middle of the night. You were caught and caught." Gu Wushuang knew that he didn't go there for no reason.But I just couldn't help teasing him, what if there was an ambush?
No matter how good his prince's martial arts are, no matter how deep his inner strength is, he cannot be taken lightly.

A gentleman can offend a gentleman, but if he offends a villain, it will be endless.

Xiao Yanling's evil eyes moved, and he hugged Gu Wushuang in his arms.

"Is the concubine jealous? This king's night visit to the prime minister's mansion is just to listen to the wall. It's not looking for a girl." I'm looking for a girl!Dare I say.

Gu Wushuang pinched his arm unceremoniously.

"Go and wash it, it stinks to death."

"Smelly?" That's right, he had a big fight with that person just now, and there were quite a few men out there.He who loves to be clean smells himself, and it does have an unpleasant smell.

"I'm sorry, my concubine got smoked, I'm going to take a bath right now." After speaking, he disappeared without a trace.Gu Wushuang sighed deeply, why did this man change when he became a relative?There is no self-consciousness before marriage at all.

They are all fathers of one child, and they are still so unstable.Well!Suddenly there was a nausea in his throat, he covered his mouth, took a deep breath and exhaled.

Alas, friend, it looks like she's going to suffer again.Thinking about it carefully, they have been almost seven years, right?The so-called seven-year itch is coming soon.Gu Wushuang yawned a few times thinking about it.In the dead of night, it's time to rest.

When Xiao Yanling returned from washing, he saw that Gu Wushuang had fallen asleep.With a doting smile, she turned into the quilt lightly, carefully embraced Gu Wushuang into her arms, smelled the fragrance of her hair, and closed her eyes satisfied.He was indeed tired tonight.

Dawn breaks in the east, dawn rises, and night is no match for the coming of day in the dark.

Before dawn, there were urgent calls in the city of Kyoto.

"Drive, it's an emergency at the border, quickly avoid it." One man and one horse, holding a sheepskin file.The horse rushed into the imperial city of Kyoto.

"What's this? It's not peaceful anymore?" The people retreated and watched the horses leave quickly.All of a sudden there was a lot of discussion.

"No way, the border is urgent, that border? Hasn't the Northern Wasteland been recovered?" "Oh, besides the Northern Wilderness, there is Xining."

"Xining? No, Xining signed a century-old reconciliation agreement with Yuxiao."

"Hundred years, how many years, that is the generation of the old emperor."

"Yeah, these 100 years have already expired, right?"

"It's over, it's over, now the people will be in dire straits again." After a few years of peaceful life, it's about to come to trouble again.

In the main hall of Yuxiao, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were present, and the emperor sat tall, not saying a word.Everyone in the hall said to themselves, "Your Majesty, I don't think Xining is trying to break the contract. It is estimated that the new emperor will make some achievements when he ascends the throne!"

"Grand Master Pang, what you said is wrong. I have signed contracts with Xining since the Yuxiao Dynasty. It has been peaceful for several generations. Although the annual tribute is not so timely, they have not withheld it. But in these years , They are doing it both openly and secretly, and there must be something hidden about this border emergency.”

"Where is the emperor?"

The emperor glanced around the court, but did not find Xiao Yanling.

Ministers, look at me, let me see that you really did not see Prince Xiao coming to court today!

"Today is not a rest day, why is Prince Xiao so slack?" Grand Master Pang couldn't help but said again.On the side, Prime Minister Xiao squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about why.

"Your Majesty, the veteran feels that what Master Zhang said is very true. The contract signed between Xining and our dynasty is a hundred years. It is true that these three generations of emperors have been down for a hundred years. But we can't rashly doubt others. Is the urgent official document true or false? The old minister thinks that it is possible to send someone to find out first."

"Oh, who does the old prime minister think is appropriate to send?" Isn't this sending you to death?Grand Master Pang said sarcastically.

"Is there anyone for Grand Master Pang?" The old prime minister raised his eyebrows slightly, and the figure of the top looked old.But those upper eyes were still piercing.When staring at Grand Master Pang, Grand Master Pang dared not look directly at him.Eyes dodge.

"This is related to the safety of the country and the society, so naturally the people who are sent can't be casual." As for who to send?What are you doing with him?

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows.Unexpectedly, the emperor was not around at this time.

"Is there anyone for the old prime minister?" Let's hear what he has to say first?
"Your Majesty, the old minister has a candidate." The prime minister knelt tremblingly in the middle as he spoke.

Minister, you look at me, and I see you talking a lot.They were all guessing that the person the old prime minister recommended would not be the outlaw son he just took back!

"The minister wants to recommend himself. He is the descendant of the old minister's family who has just been accepted. Mr. Xiao Yicheng. He is familiar with the art of war in the early years. He is skilled in martial arts and has matured in age. It can be said that he is a more suitable candidate. Please, my emperor... consider it." Prime Minister Xiao spoke neither humble nor uttered a word, although he knelt down to the emperor, his speech attitude was still that of an old official who had passed through several generations.He is asking for credit like an emperor.

"This..." the emperor hesitated.He didn't dare to agree easily, the new first-class Jinshi was a rare talent.But his appearance is always too coincidental.

"Prime Minister Xiao, get up first. I will discuss this matter with the emperor after I discuss it." After all, the prime minister is his direct maternal line.He had to save some face for the Queen Mother.It's not that people die like a lamp goes out, but the moral ethics of being a child.

In the emperor's study room, Xiao Yanling finally arrived after a long wait.He is still dressed in black, with outstanding demeanor and evil charm.

The tall and straight body is like a walking tree.

"Uncle Huang, you are finally here." Only he knew how much the emperor relied on Xiao Yanling.He was wrong about what he said to this uncle.Of course, it was also because of relying on him, he was the only relative in his father's line.

"Your Majesty, did you wait for the minister to come long ago? I'm really sorry, this morning was too late. Because I was too tired last night. Unknowingly, when I woke up, it was already high in the sun." Regarding the reason for his "blunt" explanation, the corner of the emperor's mouth pumped.It's not good to say things like being too tired at night in front of an emperor!

But there is a little envy in my heart.Now that concubine Xia is pregnant, he can only stay awake every day and clean himself up.Although it was painful to hold back, he would not go to others.
