Traitor

Chapter 237 Barry's Death
Hearing this, Su Xi stepped forward quickly, staring at the black cloth in Zhao Wuyou's hand with wide eyes.Suddenly, she raised her head in horror and stared at Zhao Wuyou in front of her, "My lord, does this mean that what you said between the three of you that day has become a reality?"

Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "It's a pity that Yunzheng is not here, otherwise she must know whether the thread came from this piece of cloth."

"Luo Jinhuagui, that's why I don't dare to throw away even the slightest flaw. After all, let alone others, even I can't see it, so the luck in people's hearts begins to cause trouble." Wen Gu sighed softly. , "Hitting eagles every year, and being pecked by an eagle in the end is really the most ridiculous thing in the world."

Suxi laughed dryly, "I mean, why does this person look familiar everywhere, but he turns out to be an old friend. This bloody thing, unexpectedly followed us to the barren waters. It's heaven and hell. Nowhere to go."

"Don't be too happy first." Zhao Wuyou looked at her coldly, "Have you ever thought about why he appeared here? What is his purpose? What is his intention?"

Su Xi was taken aback, and looked at Wen Gu, she really didn't think about it so much because she was so happy.Heart paused, Su Xi frowned, "Did he come to kill the young master?"

"If they came to kill me, they would have killed Hanyin that day, along with me. Wouldn't that be the end of it all?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "I'm afraid that if people's hearts are not enough, they will catch cicadas at the end of the world."

Wen Gu's heart trembled slightly, "Will they come here for the peace talks?"

"It's really different after going through the war, and you know what the overall situation is." Zhao Wuyou teased, "They were able to follow Huanglan, but they didn't do anything along the way. Except for that idiot Zhao Wuji, the rest is really too quiet. Huanglan Empress Lan is planning to negotiate peace with me in Daye, which is a good thing for the common people, but it is not pleasant for those who are born in the army."

"Without war, the generals will be at a loss. If they have nothing to do, they will gradually be ignored. At that time, they will emphasize civility over military affairs. Those who want to monopolize power will never watch the power in their hands gradually being stolen by others. Yes Therefore, to plan ahead, the best way is to compromise and fail, so that military power will fall back into the hands of generals, and civilian officials will become useless for talking about military affairs on paper."

Wen Gu was indignant, "It's really despised for being so vicious."

"I'm used to it when I'm too contemptuous." Zhao Wuyou said slowly, "I was just thinking, what method should he use to stop the peace talks? He definitely won't come and kill me. I still have something they want on me. .”

After thinking about it, Zhao Wuyou frowned slightly, "You just said that he ran away because of Sergeant Huanglan's appearance?"

Suxi nodded, "Yes, Sergeant Huanglan fired arrows at random. At first, I thought it was because I was by the young master's side that Sergeant Huanglan recognized me, so he attacked me. But after I returned to the original place, I found It was a strange scene. I found that the place where I was standing was full of arrows, but there were few arrows where he was."

"This means that they are only targeting you, and that person is either an accomplice or a coincidence. It's just that there seems to be too little coincidence, after all, that person was still wearing the clothes of a Daye sergeant at that time." Wen Gu took over.

Suxi smiled wryly, "It's funny that I didn't realize it until later, and I don't know where those sergeants came from, but they came in time. If I had known this, I shouldn't have kept my life alive. At worst, I would have dragged the corpse back."

"Is he seriously injured? Where is the injury?" Wen Gu asked.

Su Xi said, "I broke his shoulder blade with one sword, and it's very difficult for him to pick up the sword. It won't be a year or so, and it is absolutely impossible to use martial arts to kill people again. Unless he has the ability, left-handed sword."

Wen Gu nodded, "It's much easier to deal with injuries. When the time comes, teach people to keep an eye on the medicine shop and medical center in Wangcheng. I think they can find someone to treat the injury."

"That's not bad." Zhao Wuyou squinted his dangerous eyes, "Tell the shadow guards to be careful and dormant, and see who has been in the pharmacy recently to see injuries."

"Sword wounds are different from other wounds. Sword wounds are not easy to heal, especially when Suxi broke the shoulder blade. A broken shoulder blade won't kill you, but it can cause pain until half your life is left, so it needs a strong effect." Pain relief." Wen Gu took a deep breath, "I think it's better for me to go to the major pharmacies in Wangcheng."

"You?" Zhao Wuyou was taken aback.

Wen Gu sighed softly, "I will be very careful, I am also from Beijiang anyway, and I am home everywhere when I leave Daye."

Zhao Wuyou opened his mouth, but did not say anything after all.In fact, many things are separated by a layer of window paper, but no one has pierced this layer of window paper.Clenching the piece of cloth in his hand tightly, Zhao Wuyou closed his eyes and remained silent.

At night, Mu Baili came over quietly.When Ada Khan saw him during the day, he naturally wanted to come over to report the situation to his wife and exchange ideas on life.

"Didn't anyone see it?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Mu Baili sighed softly and sat on the edge of the bed, "It's been banned for so long, shouldn't it be unsealed? It's rare to come here, and you want to drive me away?"

She was helpless, "If the current situation is not too tight, I don't want to see you for a long time. You and I are walking on thin ice now, how dare there be any difference. It's only been a few days since I saw you, why are you so angry?"

"During the day, Ada Khan and the queen came to visit me." Mu Baili tucked her into the quilt for her.

Now that Zhao Wuyou was injured, he didn't dare to touch her lightly, if the wound opened, he would be the one who felt distressed again.He wanted to hug her, but now he didn't dare to act rashly, he just held her cold catkin lightly, wrapped it in his warm palm, and slowly warmed her.

"Do you want to see what Daye means?" Zhao Wuyou asked with a smile.

He nodded, "If there is turmoil in Huanglan territory, it will definitely affect you and me."

"So they let people surround the outside of the camp, not to monitor but to protect?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coolly.

He raised his lips and smiled, "You are so smart, do you still need to ask me?"

Zhao Wuyou pursed his lips, "If the Emperor's Empress Dowager succeeds, that's fine, we can continue to negotiate peace. But if it fails, I'm sure we'll become the prey of others. Hold us as Daye's hostages, The wishful thinking of the emperor and empress is really well done!"

"The fight for power and profit must always be prepared with both hands, so as not to be completely defeated and have nowhere to turn around." Mu Baili sighed softly, they all came out of the court, and those intrigues, are they usually seen less often?Therefore, each of them knows it well, and there is no need to explain it.

"What else?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Mu Baili said, "It is estimated that Huanglan should take action in the past two days, probably because the empress is going to take back the military power."

"From Barry?" Zhao Wuyou frowned, "It's not that easy!"

"Then it's none of our business. You are responsible for being aggressive, and I am responsible for watching." Mu Baili squeezed her hand tightly, "Let Huang Lan worry about things that should be worried about! We have to think about everything. , if something happens in the future, it must not fall on you and me? After Huang Lan's changes, there must be chaos in the country, and there must be peace if there is no peace at that time."

"A group of dragons who change their heads is always rebellious. It will take a while for Huanglan to calm down. So they must hope that their neighbors will not commit crimes. Otherwise, how can they have the strength to deal with internal and external troubles?"

Zhao Wuyou chuckled twice, "Whatever you say is what you say."

"It makes sense anyway, doesn't it?" He smiled and kissed her eyebrows and eyes, "Does it still hurt?"

She shook her head, "Don't you believe in Wen Gu's medical skills? It's been a long time since the pain disappeared. These injuries were all used to fool Huanglan people. Why did they fool you instead? Where did the cruel and merciless admiral of Dongchang go?"

He laughed, "Didn't you eat it? Why, you won't admit it after eating it?"

She was startled, and her face tightened slightly, "I said that I was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, and Lord Qiantose still expected me to admit it. Isn't this deceiving myself? Even if I accidentally make a bad debt someday, I will If you don’t know how to admit it, Lord Chitose should be mentally prepared.”

"If I didn't dare to touch you, why are you so arrogant?" He frowned and looked at her arm that was still hanging down.

She smiled gently, "It's because you dare not touch me that I dare to be arrogant, so what should you do?"

What else can I do, there is nothing I can do.

Sighing softly, Mu Baili said, "Can I give you a hug?"

She thought for a while, then nodded slightly, "Just don't touch my arm."

He rolled his throat, carefully got up and sat on the head of the bed, then slowly got into her bed, and then slowly pulled her into his arms, for fear of touching her injured arm.

When he finally hugged her, he let out a breath of relief.

She looked up at him, his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, he was more nervous than her, "I don't hurt, don't be so nervous, although the wound is deep, it's not that serious. My body is not as weak as before, So don't be afraid and don't be so worried."

"Whenever it hurts me, I'm not afraid of anything." He gave her a chilly look, "It's also thanks to you that you dare to do such a cruel thing to yourself. I didn't teach you to be the leader of this East Factory. I have wronged you."

"Isn't he the boss now?" She smiled like a flower, "I'm still a master."

He frowned, "Can't you not take advantage?"

She shook her head, "It's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change the nature."

He dotingly smiled softly, and hugged her tenderly, "That's fine. No matter what Zhao Wuyou looks like, I'm very happy, my heart is happy."

"Mu Baili, I'm a small-minded person, you have to remember what you say, otherwise if you break your promise one day, I will dig out your heart and engrave these words every single word. "Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly twice.

He reached out and stroked her back gently, only one word, "Okay."

When night fell, Zhao Wuyou fell asleep, and the bed was warmed thoroughly by him, so he dared to get up and leave.She has injuries on her body, it is not suitable to sleep with him, he is afraid of touching her and pressing her wounds.The bed was warm, and when he got up, she rolled her eyelids to look at him as usual, and then continued to sleep peacefully.

She knows his habits, and he also understands her light sleep.

So many times it is a matter of tacit understanding, and everyone tacitly agrees.

When leaving, he carefully tucked her in the quilt, and then tiptoed away, trying not to make any movement.When he left, he couldn't disturb anyone, lest people see his private contact with Zhao Wuyou, and it would be of no benefit to anyone at that time.

It's just that Zhao Wuyou didn't expect that although he slept soundly this time, it didn't mean that everything would be settled.Nabali made a fuss, was reprimanded by the empress, and had already lost all face, and was found dead in the room early the next morning.

It's really a wave of upheaval!
Su Xi frowned and looked at Zhao Wuyou, after a good night's sleep, Zhao Wuyou's complexion improved a lot.It's just that after hearing this, Zhao Wuyou's mood was not beautiful at all.

Speaking of this matter, Barry was at fault in the first place. He was the one who disrespected the Daye Mission and wanted to start a war between the two countries.But after all, Barry is Huanglan's old general, with a high position and authority, so if he dies like this, it will cause military and political turmoil, and the current situation will be uneasy.

There are many old troops in Bari. When they heard the news of the old general's suicide, they immediately incited all the soldiers in the army, with the intention of revolting.In the name of avenging the old general, he wanted to seek justice for the old general.

Who is to ask for this justice, you don't need to think about it.

"My lord, we are in big trouble." Su Xi whispered, "Although he managed to attract attention and focus all his attention on you, but the price seems to be a bit high."

"I don't care about the price. What kind of price can Zhao Wuyou afford? I'm just thinking, who is this Barry? How could he commit suicide for no reason? I don't believe it." Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened slightly.

"I don't even believe in a lowly job. How could such an invincible person be willing to die before he tormented the young master?" Su Xi narrowed her eyes, "Isn't it a fake death?"

"Ada Khan and the queen, is there any news?" Zhao Wuyou asked.

Suxi shook her head, "I came here as soon as I got the news from the humble job, and I haven't had time to look at it yet."

"Ye Jin'er is a smart woman, so there is turmoil in the army, and this heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine." Zhao Wuyou said, "Changing clothes for me!"

"My lord is going out?" Su Xi was taken aback.

"This time, I was invited out." Zhao Wuyou sighed softly, "Those two may not be able to suppress the turmoil in the army, so at this time, they have to abandon the car to protect the commander. No one is willing to sacrifice their lives for righteousness. I don't have the right to ask them to treat me like that, as long as they don't betray me, I feel that I am already very worthy of me."

After putting on his clothes, Zhao Wuyou's forehead was a little sweaty, Su Xi said, "Why don't you wait for Wen Gu to come back? Young Master has injuries on his body, it's really not suitable to go out."

"He is in the royal city, so he must have better news than you and I, so he must be on his way back." Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, "I want to see what tricks they want to play."

"Master, you mean that General Barry was killed?" Su Xi asked.

Zhao Wuyou looked at her coldly, "Do you think I will commit suicide? Or, do you think Mu Baili will commit suicide? Barry is not a child, he is such an old man, and he will kill himself when he is about to die." How can he be worthy of the illustrious military exploits he has made in his life? So, I believe that Barry has a heart of treason, but I never believe that he has the intention of committing suicide."

"Things of the past few days are connected together. When I think about it carefully, there are inexplicable coincidences in many places. When you were arresting people, there was interference from Huanglan's army. After the man ran away, Huanglan's The general is dead, and this general has a grudge against me, you say..."

Su Xi gnashed her teeth, "It must be him."

"Whether it's him or not, it must have something to do with him. Now that Barry is dead, there is really no way to proceed with the peace talks. If Ada Khan and the queen want to regain their military power, they have to get rid of Barry, but now But they were attacked one step earlier, breaking all their plans. I think the murderer was forced to do nothing, if Barry doesn't die now, sooner or later he will lose the value of using it." Zhao Wuyou walked slowly towards the outside of the tent.

"It's worthless, it's better to die sooner. If you die now, at least you can get a turmoil. Otherwise, the chaos will change. This idea is so terrific, it's hard to guard against, and even No chance to turn the tide."

Suxi hesitated, "My lord, what should we do now? Once Barry dies, there will be turmoil in Huang Lan's army, and he will definitely attack us."

"That depends on my life, whether it is hard enough or not." After not going out for a long time, the light outside is really strong enough, Zhao Wuyou immediately looked away, and it took a long time to get used to the light outside.

Not far away, Jian Yan stood silently, like a ghost in the middle of the night, no matter where it appeared, it was silent.

With a helpless sigh, Su Xi also felt a headache, and her heart was gnashing her teeth with hatred. If it weren't for Jian Yan, who has a human face and a beast's heart, things might not be where they are today.But she couldn't tear Jian Yan openly, just one step away, and Su Xi fell short.

"Worriless?" Jian Yan stepped forward quickly, "Is your injury better?"

"It's all the same, is there a difference?" Zhao Wuyou said calmly, as if treating a stranger, using the most flat and alienated tone.

After Zhao Wuyou was injured, Jian Yan was only allowed to come in once, so... being able to see Zhao Wuyou again, Jian Yan was very happy in his heart. Carefree pale face.

"It's good that you're fine." Jian Yan chuckled, "It's good that you're fine."

Suxi replied coldly, "Do you really hope that something happens to your son? What good will it do you if something happens to you?"

Jian Yan was startled, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately, "Wuyou, that's not what I meant."

"Su Xi, let's go!" Zhao Wuyou didn't want to say anything, turned and left.She thought, at this time, there should be movement in Wangcheng.As soon as he raised his head, Mu Baili stood there with his eyes facing each other, each indifferent and alienated.

"Master Zhao, is this all right?" Mu Baili smiled coolly, "It seems that this arm is saved."

"Thank you, Lord Qiantose, for your concern. Lord Yan said that I can't use my arm, so it's better to give it back to me." Zhao Wuyou retorted, "Master Qiantose is so comfortable, don't you know that this day will change? If you don't Be careful when the hailstone hits, it will kill you."

"He's already dead. Mr. Zhao means that he will cheat the corpse, right? But I have no grievances with General Barry, so I probably won't come to find my troubles." Mu Baili finally came to Zhao Wuyou Stepping forward, "But Mr. Zhao, you have to be careful, people cannibalize people, and ghosts will also be like this person."

"If you're not afraid of being alive, what are you afraid of when you're dead?" Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath.

There was a clear sound of armor from outside. It was the sound of an army gathering, with terrifying footsteps and horse hooves, surrounding the camp.

Mu Baili casually glanced outside, "Master Zhao's business - here we come."

It was General Chiduo who came, which made Zhao Wuyou heave a sigh of relief, luckily it wasn't the old Bari troops who made trouble, otherwise the trouble would be really big.If she meets Barry's former team this time, the other party will definitely kill her and will never give her any chance to breathe.

There are not many soldiers and horses in the envoy's camp, and there will be countless casualties in the event of a fight.

"Your Majesty has orders to take Zhao Wuyou into the palace." Chi Duo said with a cold face, speaking in an authentic barren language, ignoring whether you, Zhao Wuyou, could understand or not.It is conceivable that Chiduo was holding back his anger.

Seeing Zhao Wuyou's unmoved appearance, Su Xi said in a low voice, "My lord, Your Majesty has asked General Chiduo to bring you into the palace."

Zhao Wuyou glanced at her with raised eyebrows, "Let's go then!" Turning his head and smiling at Mu Baili, "This camp is not safe, so I entrust it to Lord Qiantose to take care of it alone. If there is commotion outside, Chitose Lord, you have to take good care of yourself, don't I come back before the time, Lord Qiantui has already been beaten all over the floor, it will really embarrass me, Daye."

Mu Baili smiled meaningfully, "Master Zhao loves me so much, I will remember it in my heart, and if there is any commotion, I will definitely shout that Master Zhao has entered the palace, and I hope you all leave quickly."

"It's really not polite at all." Zhao Wuyou left in a huff.

This time, Chi Duo personally came to pick Zhao Wuyou into the palace, so Jian Yan only had to watch and couldn't follow around.Zhao Wuyou left, sitting in the carriage from the palace, and disappeared from Jian Yan's sight.

Jian Yan felt very disappointed, just took a look at it, and left in a blink of an eye, the anger in his heart could not be dispelled.Looking back at Mu Baili, he didn't have the slightest nostalgia for him, he had traveled a long time ago, he probably had already returned to his tent, and he didn't care about Zhao Wuyou's life or death at all.

"Could it be that I'm really thinking too much?" Jian Yan frowned, but there seemed to be no mistake in that look.

what is going on?Did you miss it?Or is he too sensitive, and his heart is all on Zhao Wuyou, so that everyone feels that he has something to do with Zhao Wuyou?
Zhao Wuyou went straight into the palace, and the Empress Huanglan was sitting upright, only Li Yi was waiting by her side, and no one else was seen.

"Your Majesty and Queen have summoned you, what is the reason?" Zhao Wuyou saluted.

Adahan glanced at his queen, but said nothing.

Ye Jin'er said, "Master Zhao must have known about General Barry's accident, right? Then why did we come here for you? Master Zhao must be so smart that he should understand the truth."

Zhao Wuyou nodded, "Your Majesty speaks Daye dialect, so Wuyou can understand it naturally."

Hearing this, Ye Jin'er was startled, this young man is really difficult to control.No matter what you say, he seems to have already taken it into account. This unhurried expression really makes people wonder what Zhao Wuyou is thinking!
"What do I mean, don't you understand?" Ye Jin'er reminded again.

How could Zhao Wuyou not understand, but...she didn't want to follow their wishes so quickly, after all, Zhao Wuyou was also a person of status.How could she be an envoy of Daye to accept the empress of a neighboring country casually.The airs that should be put on the shelves still need to be put on display.

"Young Majesty, you may as well speak directly if you have something to say." Zhao Wuyou looked around, "There seems to be no outsiders here."

Indeed, apart from Li Yi, a prime minister, and General Chiduo who brought her in just now, there was no one else.

Ye Jin'er winked at her husband, and Ada Khan nodded.Seeing this, Ye Jin'er said, "General Barry is dead, and he said he committed suicide, but... the king and I don't believe it, and neither do Barry's old troops in the army. This matter has gotten out of hand. If you don't stop it in time, I'm afraid your Daye Mission will also be in danger."

"My Majesty and I are afraid that we won't be able to protect your safety, so we specially invited Mr. Zhao into the palace to discuss. Either you withdraw from the barren waters, and we will send you away safely. We will deal with the barren waters and turmoil ourselves. If it is too late, it will be too late." .”

Zhao Wuyou said nothing, just looked at Ye Jin'er with a smile.

The queen continued, "What's more, if Mr. Zhao still persists in his original intention and wants to negotiate peace with Huang Lan, he must first keep me and the king. Once Huang Lan's army changes, your peace negotiation policy may also fail. The two countries will go to war. In the near future, whether to go or stay is up to Mr. Zhao to decide."

"The queen and the king want me to stay?" Zhao Wuyou smiled gently, "Stay here to help you fight for power, keep the throne, and suppress rebellion?"

"This is a double benefit, what's wrong?" Li Yi said.

Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with it, but the risk is too great. Huanglan and Daye were originally diplomatic relations, but you Huanglan repeatedly violated my Daye. I dare not accept your promise lightly."

"You are taking advantage of the situation to threaten!" Li Yi straightened up.

Zhao Wuyou smiled coolly, and his expression remained unchanged, "Lord Li said that seriously. I was seriously injured and in trouble in the wilderness. How can I use the situation to blackmail me? It's just like the common people say, the sky is full of people. The asking price is nothing more than a counter-offer! Aren't you also threatening me, if you want to leave safely, you have to keep you?"

Li Yi paused, turned his head to look at the empress, and said nothing.

Ye Jin'er took a deep breath, "Then Mr. Zhao will stay."

"If I don't stay, will you let me go?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "They are all smart people, so there is no need to go around in circles. Our trip is to negotiate peace, and the peace negotiation is for the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Once Huang Lan changes the monarch, the content of the peace negotiation will naturally be invalidated, so keeping you is more beneficial than harmful to Daye."

This ignited hope in everyone present, staring at Zhao Wuyou intently.

But Zhao Wuyou just likes to pant when he speaks, "It's just that Daye can't make a loss-making business, we come and go."

"What do you want?" Ye Jiner asked.

"Since it is a peace negotiation, it is natural that the country's major affairs come first." Zhao Wuyou smiled meaningfully, "What does the Queen think?"

Ye Jin'er's eyes darkened, "Does Mr. Zhao want to finalize a peace agreement with us now?"

"I only have two, others are easy to talk about, but these two are my bottom line, and also the principle of my Daye, I hope the King and Queen will consider it." Zhao Wuyou smiled gently.

As the sound fell, Ye Jin'er's body tensed up, and he hesitated to speak to Ada Khan.
