The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 362 Sad Beauty Pass

Outer center.

This word is like a sharp awl piercing Zhao Yan's heart.

It is undeniable that Xiao Ruan does have ulterior motives towards him, but he can also feel that Xiao Ruan's hostility towards him is not as obvious as before.

The so-called drop of water wears stone through, he is confident that Xiao Ruan can understand his own intentions, and he is more willing to give her enough patience to fall in love with him.

At the beginning, he failed to raise an army and was forced to flee to Qianyun Mountain.

Standing on the high cliff of Qingyun Mountain, facing the abyss below, he once asked himself if he regretted it.

The biting mountain wind whistled in his ears, and the unwillingness in his heart roared in his chest, and even the scene of the queen being bestowed to death by a white thread appeared in front of his eyes.

Even so, he could still clearly hear a voice in his heart saying no regrets.

Failure is a common thing for military strategists. The reason why he was given to the prince was because he trusted Huo Xun too much, and also overestimated himself and Huo Yuan too much.

He thought that if Huo Xun rebelled against Huo Yuan, there would be a way to contain him, and those officials placed in the barracks were not vegetarians for nothing, but the result of the fact gave him a merciless slap.

Huo Xun did indeed rebel suddenly as he expected, but Huo Yuan was not as capable as he thought.

This incident convinced him that all of Huo Yuan's talents were probably just on paper and could not give him real help at critical times.

Therefore, the main responsibility for his defeat lies in his unclear identification, not Xiao Ruan's fault.

A man can't take his own real responsibilities, but puts all his faults on an innocent woman. Zhao Yan believes that such a man will not have a great future, let alone be favored by heaven.

And obviously, Huo Yuan is obviously such a person.

"Don't say any more, this king has already arranged for her to be by my side. If she really has any intentions, I will naturally find out at the first time, and then I will take precautions."

Wuxin continued to argue with Huo Yuan, Zhao Yan directly changed the subject: "Why did you come to find me today, it's hard to come here to teach the king a lesson?"

"I must never dare!"

Hearing the impatience in Zhao Yan's voice, Huo Yuan frowned, and had no choice but to put the matter aside, took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Yan.

"My lord, Xuan'er has already sent a reply letter. She has persuaded Duan Muhao to cooperate with us, but what Duan Muhao is most concerned about is what benefits we can provide him. It is not easy for me to make a decision."

The secret letter asking for help from Northern Jiang Country has been sent out for nearly ten days, what Zhao Yan looks forward to most every day is Duan Muhao's response.At this time, the secret letter was in his hand, and Zhao Yan quickly opened it.

After reading the whole article, the joy on Zhao Yan's face gradually subsided, and at the end he slammed the envelope on the table: "What a Duanmuhao who took advantage of the fire, he actually bullied me on the head!"

"My lord, Duanmuhao's request is indeed a bit harsh, but it seems that only by agreeing to him can we have a chance of making a comeback."

Glancing at the letters on the table, Huo Yuan's face flashed with helplessness.

When Duan Muhao came to their Dajin before, he spent a lot of time drinking and drinking all day and no one was right.No one thought that such a person would become the emperor of Northern Jiang Kingdom.

In the letter, he asked Zhao Yan for ten cities, and two of the ten cities were important economic and trade gathering places of the Jin Dynasty.

If all these cities were handed over to Duanmuhao, the national power of the Jin Dynasty would be reduced by almost [-]%, so Zhao Yan scolded him for being a lion and taking advantage of the fire.

But thinking about it the other way around, Zhao Yan doesn't have a single soldier in his hands now, and the only person who is willing to help him doesn't know what kind of plan he has in his heart.If he is giving up Duan Muhao's support, the battle to turn around will not be completed until the Year of the Monkey.

Under such circumstances, Huo Yuan felt that exchanging [-]% of the national power for the entire country of the Jin Dynasty would be a loss-making deal.

Xu was moved by Huo Yuan's words, Zhao Yan's gaze stayed on Huo Yuan's face for a long time, and finally picked up the letter again and read it carefully.

"One hundred thousand elite soldiers is a city, and there is no one more shameless than Duan Muhao in this world! However, since he treats me like this, why can't this king treat him in other ways?"

There was a ruthless look in Zhao Yan's eyes, and Zhao Yan suddenly turned his mouth into a smile: "You tell your sister to tell Duan Muhao that this king agrees to his request, but before this king succeeds, he must do it for you. I provide all conveniences."

"This... my lord, excuse me, Duan Muhao may not be able to agree to your request..."

"Why doesn't he agree? Could it be that this king can only let him be slaughtered?"

Zhao Yanji didn't like Huo Yuan's words. This person didn't help him think about how to exchange the least effort for the greatest benefit of the Northern Kingdom.He even kept speaking for Duan Muhao, which made him wonder if Huo Yuan had plans to go to Northern Jiang Country to be the uncle of Northern Jiang Country.

As Zhao Yan thought about it, he heard Huo Yuan's helpless voice.

"Since this is the case, I am willing to go to Beijiang to personally interview Duanmuhao on behalf of the prince. What does the prince think? The emperor sent Huo Xun and Xia Junwang to congratulate the new emperor of Beijiang on his enthronement. Since we have something to ask for Duanmuhao, naturally You should go to express your congratulations. By the way, you can also find out if Duan Muhao is really willing to help us."

As Huo Yuan's voice fell, Zhao Yan suddenly fell into silence.

For a moment, he wasn't sure whether Huo Yuan's trip to Beijiang was really going to be a bridge for him to reach an alliance with Duan Muhao, or he was taking this opportunity to escape from his side.

If the other party really wanted to leave, would he betray himself to the capital?
Here, Zhao Yan thought about the true meaning of Huo Yuan's words from time to time, but Huo Yuan looked as if he didn't think so much at all, and was still thinking about various matters about going to Beijiang.

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered for a moment and finally nodded: "Forget it, this king will send you to meet Duan Muhao in person by Bei Jiang. If this is done, this king will designate you as General Ping Ding. You will command the ten Wan Jingbing and I took down the three provinces in Yunzhong first, and then entered the capital!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust!"

After hearing these words, Huo Yuan fell to the ground, bowed deeply to Zhao Yan, and there seemed to be some urgency on his face.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan calmed down temporarily, and waved his hand gently: "Lord Huo has been with me for a long time, and has been helping me behind the scenes to make suggestions. It's time for you to go out and show your power."

As he said that, Zhao Yan cast his eyes on Huo Yuan's masked face again, and suddenly sighed: "Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by the beauty pass, and Master Huo's words are actually very reasonable / It's a pity that this king is really difficult Let me go, I didn't let you intervene in this matter, and I am really worried that you will take this opportunity to take revenge on Xiao Ruan secretly, and I hope Lord Huo can understand the difficulty of this king."

Huo Xun didn't expect that Zhao Yan suddenly said this kind of heart-to-heart talk today, and he didn't react for a while.

This time when Xiao Ruan disappeared, Zhao Yan seemed to be insane. He not only ordered King Xia to search for Xiao Ruan's whereabouts, but also personally took people to the gate of the city to investigate. Anyone who was slightly suspicious was put in a prison cell, causing a commotion. The people in the city were panicked.

However, Zhao Yan not only did not communicate with Huo Yuan about such a big matter, but also avoided him everywhere to prevent her from knowing Xiao Ruan's whereabouts.

Huo Yuan knew that what Zhao Yan did was nothing more than putting himself under suspicion, and he felt helpless, until he learned from Ling An that the person who robbed Xiao Ruan was actually King Xia, and he was lifted from the "ban".

Everyone knew this kind of thing well, but now Zhao Yan brought it up on his own initiative, which made him feel that the other party cared about him very much and didn't want to have a relationship with him.

A sense of arrogance rose in his heart, Huo Yuan immediately knelt down and bowed deeply to Zhao Yan: "My lord is really a shame this time, the reason why I remind you repeatedly not to follow Xiao Ruan's way is because I am worried that I will be raped by her again. Lie. As long as Fanchen's words can make the prince a little bit more vigilant, I will be satisfied."

Huo Yuan's face was full of sincerity, as if everything was for Zhao Yan's great cause, Zhao Yan immediately stepped forward to help him up when he saw this.

"Your Excellency has devoted so much to this king, and he has never left him from the beginning to the end. I have Mr. Huo by my side, which is comparable to Qian Zhengzhi's previous emperor. As long as our monarchs and ministers are united, the day of great success is just around the corner!"

"My lord is right!"

Huo Yuan's voice suddenly became hoarse, as if he was moved by Zhao Yan's heart-to-heart words. For a moment, the monarch and his subjects were in harmony, and there was no gap between them in an instant.

When it was time to leave, Huo Yuan once again bowed deeply to Zhao Yan: "Don't worry, my lord, I will fulfill my mission and persuade Duan Muhao to agree to our conditions."

Zhao Yan's eyes flickered, his face was full of anticipation, and he nodded solemnly: "Then the king is waiting for the good news from Mr. Huo!"

The two looked at each other for a moment, Huo Yuan cupped his hands at Zhao Yan and was about to leave, but he stopped suddenly when he reached the door.

"My lord, forgive me for nagging, you have kept Xiao Ruan by your side now, eating and living with her, even if you can prevent her from making any unfavorable actions, there is no guarantee that she will not hear our important information, if... ..."

Zhao Yan didn't expect Huo Yuan to be so endless, and because he still had to rely on Huo Yuan to obtain the support of Northern Jiang Kingdom, he had to suppress his displeasure once again, and nodded to him with a pleasing expression: "Good medicine tastes bitter, Huo Yan My lord's mind is naturally very clear to me, so I will take more precautions against her from now on."

Hearing this, Huo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief on the spot, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, showing a look of relief.

Huo Yuan left the room contentedly, and the curvature of Zhao Yan's mouth disappeared instantly.A pair of eyes stared straight at the opposite party who left without saying a word, and there seemed to be a thick ink that could not be melted inside.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling An's figure suddenly appeared outside Zhao Yan's door, and Zhao Yan immediately stood up: "How is the investigation going?"
