As the Red Cloud Beacon continued to burn northward, the battle situation in the south was successively transmitted to the vassal states, and soon arrived with the name that had been silent for ten years.

Late at night, the Prince's Mansion of the Jin Kingdom:

"What, it's him! Wei Xian is Baili Yan! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is no doubt that this matter is conclusive, and there will be no mistake in verifying each other's secret letter from the Imperial Guest War Report and General Wang Yanfei." Fan Tao affirmed.

"Didn't you hand it over to Wang Li to confirm this matter back then, why didn't you see through Bailiyan's face." Ji Jun was furious.

"Your Highness, didn't the princess not recognize Gongzi Yan!" Fan Tao argued.

"Go, let Xihuan come and see me."

"No!"

The king of Jin has been seriously ill for many years, and Xihuan has returned to China to visit the doctor for several months in the name of his provincial relatives, and has not yet learned of the changes in the south.

At this time, Sima Mansion in Pingtangcheng Mansion, Wang Shuo heard the news that Bailiyan was not dead, and only thought of his son Wang Li:

"You are so bold, you know that you don't report the deception, you are guilty!"

"The child is guilty!" Wang Li knelt in front of his father and told the truth without concealment.

Wang Shuo raised his right arm and opened his palm, looking at his son, who had become a father, Wang Shuo put it down again:

"Yan has become a problem, and it is difficult to escape the blame for being a father. If it weren't for the soft-heartedness back then, there would have been no changes today. ”

"It's all a child who was confused for a while, missed a major military event, and asked his father to punish him."

"Alas...... Get up. ”

Wang Shuo sat back on the couch and restrained his anger, and said calmly:

"Father is old, your sister and the crown prince, in the future, you and Lord Fan will still rely on you, and there must be no more women's kindness."

"The child understands, and the child remembers his father's teachings!"

"Just remember. If Master Fan hadn't informed me in advance this time, even your sister wouldn't have been able to protect you, which is a great crime of deception. Tomorrow morning, the prince will inevitably ask you, you have to be strict, Lord Fan will be around for you, at this time, it is related to your sister and your nephew, you must be cautious. ”

"The child understands."

"Alright, it's getting late, so you can go and rest."

"No!"

Not long after Wang Li retreated, Wang Shuo came to the study silently.

After Bailiyan disappeared, the King of Jin raided the Proton Mansion, and all the books in the Proton Mansion were moved to Wang Shuo's Mansion. Wang Shuo flipped through the books left by Bailiyan more than once, except for herbal medicine and historical classics, it was almost difficult to find books related to the rule of law in the country, Wang Shuo couldn't understand what happened to Bailiyan in the past ten years.

Late at night, Xihuan heard that Wei Xian was Bailiyan, as if he had a nightmare, and hurriedly came to the Prince's Mansion:

"Brother Wang, is this news true or false, how can Wei Xian be Bailiyan!"

As soon as Xihuan said a word, he was angry, his face became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't help asking:

"Sister Wang, you have known him for many years in Lingling, and you don't know Sister Wang?"

"I ......" Xihuan said, as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle and said bitterly: "How did I know that Baili Yan is such a hidden person." When he saw him in Chenling, it had been five years, and his appearance had changed so much that he could not recognize him. By the way, Wang Li once went to test him, Wang Li and he have known each other since childhood, why didn't they see through. ”

Xihuan pointed the finger at Wang Li, and Fan Tao had already made a good draft:

"Your Royal Highness the princess, the young man has not seen him for many years, and his appearance and posture are subtle, and the princess still doesn't recognize him when she sees him, let alone Wang Li."

"That's not right!" Xihuan refuted: "Gongzi Yan is good at Saiqian spearmanship, Wang knows it well, how can he not see it." ”

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, since Bailiyan appeared in the name of Wei Xian, she has used swords as weapons and rarely used guns.

Fan Tao tried his best to open up for Wang Li, if it weren't for Xihuan, no one would come out, and Wang Li would probably be to blame.

"Alright, don't fight!" Ji Jun said in a deep voice: "This matter must not be known to my father, and I should find another way to get rid of Gongzi Yan!" ”

"Yan Yi has full wings, I'm afraid it's difficult!"

Fan Tao said, Xihuan disagreed:

"Not necessarily! Baili Yan is not small, he will definitely not be subservient, in the future, he will definitely borrow troops to return to the country to regain the throne, now Wei Guo is seeking to take the land of Sun Guo, as long as Wei Guo enters the Central Plains, acquiesce to Wei Guo in the name of Bai Li Yan usurping the throne to attack Xian, then Bai Li Yan will be a harm to Xian State. ”

Xihuan's idea was simple, but Fan Tao objected:

"Princess, this is unacceptable!" Fan Tao hurriedly persuaded: "Bailiyan's implementation of the new policy has achieved immediate results, and now King Xian and Zhiguo have rebuilt the old friendship, if our country leads the guards into the Central Plains, the Central Plains countries will become one and attack and defend together, and it is difficult for the Jin State to be alone."

If you don't help at that time, the Jin Kingdom will be hit by Zhiguo and Xianguo in the future, if you help, not only will it not be beneficial to my Jin Kingdom, but the Xianguo may also expand its land to the west, so wouldn't it be lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot. ”

"What does Master Fan think!" Xihuan asked rhetorically.

"Back to the princess, Wang Yanfei mentioned in the secret letter that Ji Yao, the general of Qiguo, has expressed his heart that if he wants to get rid of Bailiyan, it is better for Qiguo to come forward in this matter."

"King Qi, this wreck, how can he be Bailiyan's opponent!"

Xihuan cursed, and Ji Jun agreed:

"What Wang Mei said is extremely true, Qi Wang Baililu is addicted to wine all day long, and no one in Qi Country is Bailiyan's opponent, how can he kill him."

"The two highnesses, although the Qi people are blunt, blunt also has the benefit of bluntness. If you want to get rid of Baili Yan in the south, the royal guest must be 100,000 points of vigilance, and my country will act rashly, and it will be counterattacked by the royal guest in the future, so this matter can only be pretended to be the hand of the country. ”

"Then how to borrow a knife to kill someone!" Xihuan asked.

"This time, there are only 30,000 Xian troops in Baili Yan's south, and the Xian King has no intention of sending more Xian troops south, so Baili Yan's troops are limited, so our country should send secret envoys to Wei, Qi, Yan, Zhao, and Chen.

Wei Guo wants to dominate the West China Sea alone, and after my country's garrison disagrees with the country, Chen, Qi, Yan, and Zhao in the West Sea have many hearts, and they never want to be bullied by the defense of the country again because Baili Yan will seize the throne in the future and fight with our country.

At the same time, Wei Guo did not want to see Bailiyan become stronger in the country in the future, so the five countries of the West Sea could reach this secret agreement. As long as Bailiyan is in a desperate situation, the countries will not be rescued when they see death, and they can be put to death.

In addition, as long as the Wei Guo and the Lesser Army are fighting in the Xian State, as long as the Wei Guo is persuaded to break the treaty and withdraw the Xiao Min Army, the Xian State will be self-defeating. ”

"Okay, this plan is very much in line with me, and the DPRK will discuss this matter first tomorrow."

Ji Jun adopted Fan Tao's diplomatic strategy and held secret discussions with the DPRK on the second day.

At the same time, it had been eight days since the news of the southern border reached Xianguo. Lu Gao's secret music was delivered two days before the royal guest, and it was first delivered by the foreign envoy Xun Mu, because it was a secret report from the forbidden army, Xun Mu had no right to open it, and it was forwarded to King Xian through the hand of Gao Xun.

King Xian's surprise at a glance and ten lines of reading:

"There is still such a thing!"

Gao Xun noticed something strange and asked carefully:

"Your Majesty, why are you so surprised?"

"Gao Qing, you have known Wei Xian for many years, how much do you know about him?"

Gao Xun suddenly felt inexplicable, but he could hear that King Xian's attitude towards Bailiyan had changed drastically.

"Lord Wei has a lot of scheming in the city, and the ministers have known him for many years, but he doesn't know much."

"Then, does Gao Qing know that Wei Xian still has relatives in Qiguo?"

"Back to the king, I have never heard Lord Wei talk about his relatives, and I have not seen relatives and friends from Qiguo come to take refuge for many years, most of them have been cut off. I don't know what the king means, and whether he can make it clear to his subordinates! ”

King Xian suddenly closed the secret report, stood up and put his hands behind him, paced in the inner hall and frowned, and the complexity in his heart jumped on his face at this time.

"Gao Qing didn't notice it at all?"

"The king's question is unclear, please forgive the minister for not being able to answer."

"For example, Gao Qing has never found out what similarities Wei Qing has with Bai Lijuan, the wife of Li Dai, the lord of Jingshang, and Li Yi, the son of Li Dai?"

"Huh...... The minister didn't pay attention, but the king ......" halfway through the words, Gao Xunmeng was stunned, and subconsciously thought of what King Xian was referring to: "The king is saying that Lord Wei was once the widow of the Emperor of the Wrong Kingdom!" ”

"If it's a relative, it's simple."

"That's ......"

"He's Bailiyan!"

"It's him!" Gao Xun was shocked: "How could it be him!" Isn't he dead! ”

"yes...... In case Wei Qing, no, Gongzi Yan is gone, what will the widowed Xianguo do! With the ability of Gongzi Yan, it is easy to kill and regain the throne, if he borrows troops from the widow, can the widow not borrow it. ”

"King, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, the Jin Kingdom definitely wants to harm Gongzi Yan, the king must not be guarded against!"

"This ...... Not really. Baili Yan is a disciple of Saiqian, how can the royal guest not be guarded. ”

"O king, Gongzi Yan is a major general, if there is an accident, the Jin State and other countries will not be saved, and then there will be nothing to do! In addition, if Gongzi Yan borrowed troops from the king to seize the throne, how could he give up on defending the country, I am afraid that the Jin nationality is using this as an excuse, and has sent an envoy to secretly envoy to defend the country. ”

"Then according to Gao Qingzhi, how should the widow deal with it."

"The minister thinks that the interests of our country and the defense of the country lie in the army and coal, and the defense of the country needs our weapons, which is a hegemon in the West Sea, and will definitely not completely obey the Jin State, but it is bound to take the Jin State to blackmail our country.

Therefore, the king should quickly send an envoy to Zhiguo to negotiate the purchase of additional coal, as long as the coal can be guaranteed, the army of the people is in the hands of our army first, according to the agreement reached between the two countries, the family members of the army are on the way to Xianguo, and it is too late to make countermeasures until the defense of the country. However, the only matter of coal must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the arms supply agreements between our country and other vassal states. ”

"It's not important to defend the country and disagree with the country, the widow just wants to know that Gongzi Yanyuan is in the south, how can he come back alive to serve the widow."

"At present, the situation in Xianguo has eased slightly, but it is still impossible to draw troops south. The news can only be sent to the south as soon as possible to inform Gongziyan in case of accidents. As for the future, the Central Plains is in turmoil, and the Xian State still needs the political state of Gongzi Yanfu, but it is necessary to reduce its power in the army, and beware of pulling away the soldiers and horses to blackmail the king to borrow troops. In particular, the Xianjun army has a large number of foreigners at present, and the morale of the army is not aligned, and Gongzi Yan has a great influence, so he should be vigilant as soon as possible. ”

"Yes......" King Xian sighed, his eyes solemn: "Gongzi Yan Wentao Wuluo is rare in ancient and modern times, the widow's Xianguo will rely on him in the future, this matter must be considered in the long run, you go and invite Princess Lanyuan to the widow to Bailing Garden." ”

"No!"
