Alien love

Chapter 61 Off the Strings

Five days later, the carriage entered the border of Le State.

I leaned against the inner wall of the carriage with a tired face, and drove non-stop for several days, and the bones in my body were about to fall apart.Yue Ming squinted his eyes and sat across from me, his complexion was of course better than mine.

In order to avoid Yekel's pursuit, we didn't even dare to stay in an inn in Xiyue Kingdom, for fear of being recognized.The bumps and fatigues along the way, the wind and the camp, just to escape Yekel's sphere of influence as soon as possible.

When the carriage drove out of Xiyue King City, Nangonghan asked me if I wanted to go straight to Xuanguo. After thinking for a while, I resolutely chose another route.Based on Yekel's understanding of me, he will definitely think that I will choose the route to Xuanguo, because there is someone I love there, but as long as he sends people to hunt down the same non-stop, we may be caught up by them, In order to catch people by surprise, I chose to flee to Li country, and then went to Fireworks Valley from Li country.

The blood gu in Nangong Han's body may only be solved by Lan Gu. I promised him that I would help him, so I can only go to the Fireworks Valley and ask Lan Gu for help.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and Yue Ming and I almost fell over in the carriage due to inertia.After sitting firmly, I opened the curtain and glanced outside.There was a lot of voices, the uniform steps of a large number of troops, and the neighing of horses.

My heart was startled suddenly, could it be that Yekel chased after him so quickly?How can this be.The drowsy expression on Yue Ming's face just now disappeared completely. He moved closer to where I was vigilantly, and looked out through the car window with a sense of wariness in his deep eyes.

"What happened? What are so many troops going to do?" I murmured suspiciously, but my heart was relieved when I saw that the clothes on those soldiers didn't look like Xiyue. Yes, although this place is at the junction of the two countries, judging from the current national strength of the two countries, the border guard and sovereignty are more important than the Li country.So no matter how tough Yekel was, he didn't dare to blatantly let the soldiers cross the line to find people.

Yue Ming gave me a sneaky look, then smiled lazily and said, "It's not just that you came to catch us, why are you such a slut?"

I gave him a hard look, this guy speaks more casually now.In the carriage, I softly asked Nangong Han who was driving the carriage outside: "Nangong Han, do you know what happened?"

"I heard that a small group of riots broke out on the border of Li country. Similar things often happen on the border these days. Li country is rich in products, but the border of Xiyue bordering it is scarce in resources. Since the last time Li country and Xiyue border After the First World War, the Emperor of the Li Kingdom suspended the trade between the two countries, and now there are often bandits and robbers on the border of Xiyue causing trouble and riots." His voice was indifferent, without joy or worry.

"Riot? How could Li Zixin cut off the trade between the two countries so easily? Such an irrational behavior that often leads to riots on the border should not be something that a smart person like Li Zixin would do." I was filled with emotion. replied.

Nangong Han didn't answer my question. It seemed that the congestion outside had improved slightly, and the carriage began to move forward again.Yue Ming raised his hands, mocking him with a cold face: "Do you know him very well? How do you know what he is planning? Maybe he did it on purpose. If such things often happen on the border of Xiyue, he can have This is an opportunity to send troops to crusade."

When did this guy like to argue with me so much?I snorted coldly and ignored him again.

"Girl, it's safe to enter the border of Li country, or we should find an inn first?" Nangong Han asked for my opinion outside.

"Well, after so many days and nights, my bones are no longer my own. You can arrange it!" I responded lazily.

Nangonghan, dressed in awe, nodded outside, waved his whip skillfully, and the carriage drove forward at a constant speed.

Stopping in front of an inn, I jumped out of the carriage first, and took a breath of free air.This is a long-lost feeling, as if I have returned to the state of mind when I followed Ye and Wei Feng to the rivers and lakes, relaxed and comfortable.Yue Ming moved the luggage from the carriage, and the waiter at the inn moved the carriage away. Nangong Han, Yueming and I walked into the inn together, walking side by side, resembling the Three Musketeers.

Xiao Er welcomed us into the inn, and we went up to the wing room on the second floor.The inn was really overcrowded, and there was a constant stream of people coming in and out.

After entering the wing room, we ordered a few dishes casually, and after a while, the hot meals were served.Yue Ming and I were already very hungry. We couldn't help swallowing when we saw the plates of fragrant dishes being served.

"Let's start, Nangong Han, you're welcome, Yue Ming has a lot of money, if it's not enough, we'll order it later!" I honestly took a piece of fish and put it into my mouth, muttering and looking at it. Nangong Han said with slightly surprised eyes.

Yue Ming also moved his chopsticks immediately, and said sourly: "Using other people's money and talking so arrogantly, hmph, look at your food, you don't have the temperament of a rich and famous lady at all, I don't know how you can provoke so many people." people..."

"Hey, dead Yue Ming, are you finished yet?" Before he could finish speaking, I stood up abruptly and put my chopsticks on the table and yelled loudly at him.

He seemed to be shocked by my sudden anger. He glanced at Nangong Han and clicked his tongue. He said with a smile on his face, "Is it an overreaction? All right, grandma, hurry up and eat, it's my fault, no I should piss you off on the idea that your hormones are lowered due to hunger. Now I know that the consequences are serious, and you have a lot of them, so please forgive me!" After finishing speaking, she looked helpless and timid .

Although Nangonghan didn't understand the meaning of the special nouns in his words, seeing Yue Ming's affectation, he couldn't help showing a smile, shook his head and said: "It's really the first time I met you, Mr. A far cry from Mr.

I chuckled, actually I didn't really care about Yue Ming's ridicule, he just had a bit of a mouth but his heart was not bad, maybe he completely released his true self after meeting me, but whenever I was too hungry Sometimes, he will have less self-control, and his casual joke just now will make me inexplicably angry.

"Nangonghan, it's because you don't know him well. For the first time, many people will be deceived by his appearance, thinking that he is the kind of gentle and elegant person. In fact, he is just a little talented girl." I sat down and picked up the Chopsticks continue to eat.

Yue Ming looked at me quite proudly and said with a smile: "So, you really understand me, hey, I should be glad to finally have someone who understands me!"

I buried my head in eating, so I ignored him.

The wing room opposite was a bit noisy. After eating, I couldn't help but looked towards the other side curiously.Groups of men dressed as scholars came out from the opposite wing, with leisurely smiles on their faces. One of the men looked familiar to me, as if I had seen it somewhere before.

I looked at them with my chin in my hand, and even forgot to pick up the rice.Yue Ming raised his head to see my pensive expression, followed my line of sight, and said with a smile: "There are handsome guys who don't even need to eat?"

"No, Yue Ming, have you seen the man in the white robe in the middle? I seem to have seen it somewhere, and it feels very familiar, but I can't remember it for a while." I frowned and pointed at the man Said.

Nangong Han glanced at it, and said lightly: "These are all candidates who are rushing to take the palace examination, right?"

"Hall test?" I asked in surprise. "Does Li also have a scientific examination?"

"No, it's Xuanguo. Xuanguo established a scientific examination system a few months ago. Scholars all over the world, regardless of their nationality, as long as they have the heart to be an official and have the ability to govern the country, they can go to Xuanguo to take the imperial examination. For several months in a row Since then, the imperial examination has passed the provincial examination and the general examination. Those who stand out in these two examinations will go to Xuanguo Tianyi City to participate in the palace examination with the emperor's own questions before this month. The top three will become the emperor's disciples and will be appointed by the emperor himself. To be an official is to receive the grace of God!" Nangong Han put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and said in a rather familiar manner.

"So these candidates are going to Xuanguo to rush for the exam." I nodded, a little happy.Ye really implemented the imperial examination system so well.That, that scholar. . .I suddenly remembered, isn’t that scholar the man who blocked the sedan chair we rescued when we were in the Peach Blossom Inn?It turned out that he also went to take the imperial examination.I thought back then, I told Ye with a lot of emotion that if he could get a half-time job in the future, he wouldn't be able to humiliate that fierce woman who was willing to accompany her life and death.Hehe, in the end, Ye not only saved them, but also fulfilled his dream of becoming an official.

I was giggling on the sidelines, thinking that I would see Ye soon, I couldn't help feeling nervous and ecstatic.What kind of expression will Ye see when he sees me?I was ecstatic and still thought I had seen a ghost, ha ha. . . .

"Girl, stop smirking, eat quickly, it's getting cold." This time it was Nangong Han's turn to watch, and couldn't help but persuade.

I came back to my senses, stuck out my tongue, and sat down to eat.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yue Ming's smirk.

Jingcheng Imperial Capital of Li State.

Li Zixin was alone in the imperial study room. What was different from usual was that this time he did not play chess with others, but put up an ancient chess record on the table by himself.His heart seems to be restless recently.Hearing the bad news of Xiaowei's accident for the first time made him feel as if his liver and gallbladder were torn apart.He has never experienced such intense pain, such piercing pain, even when his father passed away, he did not shed a single tear. On the road of fighting for imperial power, he has never softened his heart, even if the opponent is own brother.

At the beginning, he had the urge to go to Xuanguo to question Ling Ye why he couldn't even protect his beloved woman. He was furious at Weifeng, and even threatened to destroy the alliance between the two countries, but he remained calm. When I got down, I found that I was really out of control.The current Li country needs to rest and recuperate. If the alliance between the two countries is easily overthrown, the flames of war will ignite at any time, and the Xuan country will undoubtedly have a higher chance of winning.

These days, Yu Shuangdu will submit information from various parties. Xuan Guo Prince Ling Ye is implementing the imperial examination system and establishing an independent intelligence agency.He didn't know what kind of pain Ling Ye had gone through after losing Xiao Wei, but it could be seen from his behavior that he was no longer the prince who didn't eat the world's fireworks and had nothing to do with the world.And Xuan Guo has undoubtedly become stronger because of Ling Ye's reforms.

He put the chess piece in his hand into the chessboard, and carefully put away the chess book book next to it. The book seemed to be old and the paper was slightly yellowed, but the cover of the book and the corners of the paper were still in good condition. It is spotless, which shows that the owner cherishes it very much.

Yu Shuangyi entered the imperial study room in casual clothes, bowed to Li Zixin's back and saluted: "Your subordinates see the emperor!"

"No!" Li Zixin replied lightly.

"Your Majesty, there was a small riot at the border between Li Guo and Xiyue two days ago. It has been suppressed, but it is not an option to continue like this for a long time. This subordinate dares to ask the Emperor whether to resume business exchanges?" Yu Shuang was a little worried asked.

"Hmph, Xiyue Kingdom is now in power by Yekel, and his strategy is still less than one-tenth of Yekeri's. Why do you think I cut off ties? In the previous battle, although we were victorious, But Zhan Yunqi also suffered heavy losses. More than 1 soldiers have lost their souls in the southern region. I will get back this account sooner or later. Now that the trade is cut off, Xiyue's supply is cut off. If riots are frequently caused, we will I will definitely negotiate with Xiyue. Yekel has not been on the throne for a long time, and his domestic regime is still unstable. If he wants to cooperate with the border of Li country again, he should satisfy our people with better conditions. You said that with Xiyue country Is it worth it to exchange bloody horses for the silk products of Li Kingdom?" Li Zixin had a sly smile in his eyes, it was a bottomless darkness, and the invisible majesty was only in this glance.

Yu Shuang suddenly realized, with admiration in his eyes.He was still on the road just now and wanted to persuade the emperor, because if there is another war in the Li country, it may increase the burden on the people. All the subjects in the world hope that the weather will be smooth, and what they look forward to is a sky without war.Li Guo needs to recuperate now, and Zheng Yunqi still needs to maintain his strength.I don't want to, but the emperor has a gap in his chest, and he is really short-sighted.

Yu Shuang laughed and said: "It's because the subordinates are dull, and they don't think as much as the emperor in case!"

Li Zixin just smiled lightly, and said: "Since the northern Qiang was wiped out by Yekerui, it has been silent for many years. Recently, according to Mo Chuan's report, it seems that there are signs of rising again, and a large-scale tribe has formed. The area to the south began to build cities, calling itself Southern Qiang."

Yu Shuang nodded and returned: "My subordinates think that the rise of the Southern Qiang is understandable. When the Northern Qiang was destroyed at that time, many tribal chiefs ran away after hearing the news and escaped Yekerui's scimitar. But the subordinates I feel that judging from their current strength, the country is small and weak, so there is nothing to fear."

"Haha, Yu Shuang, the fierce tiger also grew up from the experience of tiger cubs. It's just that other countries are quiet now, and we are just watching from the sidelines." Li Zixin laughed, the look in his eyes still seemed to see everything.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers of the former Nanding Kingdom have moved to Jingcheng. Will the Emperor arrange suitable positions for them?" Yu Shuang asked quickly, remembering the task the emperor had given him to place the former Nanding Ministers.

"Of course these ministers have to give them positions, and asking them all to come to Beijing is just for the convenience of surveillance and to prevent them from giving birth to dissent. From now on, you let the dark guards secretly monitor them, and report to me at any time if there is any change. Map of Nanding Officially assigned to the Li Kingdom, I know that they are deeply dissatisfied and dissatisfied when they were once members of the royal family. They speak bad things about me behind my back, and I can ignore them, but if there are any unruly intentions, I will even more I’m happy, I’ve collected the evidence and wiped it out in one fell swoop, so I don’t have to worry about it.” Li Zixin threw the corner of his robe behind him, leaned on the dragon couch, looked at Yu Shuang with a strange smile, and his lazy and composed words echoed in the temple.

If this scene was seen by the concubines in the back court who always thought the emperor was gentle and gentle, they would be scared to death, even Yu Shuang was captured by the divine light in the emperor's eyes.

"Your subordinates take orders!" Yu Shuang bowed her head and replied.

There were hurried footsteps outside the hall, Li Zixin frowned displeasedly, looked at the little nobleman who rushed into the imperial study in a hurry, and shouted: "Why are you panicking?"

Out of breath, Xiao Guizi knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Miss Zi'er in Zhaoyang Palace said that the Empress and all the masters in the palace were enjoying flowers and drinking tea in the imperial garden, but for some reason Suddenly passed out, and I haven't woken up yet, the imperial doctor has already gone to Chaoyang Palace, so the servant panicked and disturbed Shengjia!"

Hearing this, Li Zixin's complexion changed suddenly, he jumped up from the couch, ignored Yu Shuang and the little nobleman who were still in the hall, and walked out of the imperial study room, the little nobleman hurriedly stood up, bowed to Yu Shuang and said, "My lord, please go back first." Bar."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Guizi hurriedly chased after him, calling out while running: "Your Majesty, slow down, wait for the servant!"

Yu Shuang nodded, looking at Li Zixin's back in the distance, showing a hint of a smile.
