Outside the window, a cold wind blew through, making the leaves sway and rustle, and Nangong Yue's face, which had been reddened by the charcoal fire, was stained with coolness.
Countless white plum blossoms flew in the wind, falling like goose feathers and snow.
The corner of Nangong Yue's mouth evoked a shallow smile, but the smile was slightly cold, and it did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"Bai Hui, please tell Zhu Xing that His Highness Carrero is the'noble guest' in our Southern King's Mansion. We must greet each other well and make His Highness feel at home," Nangong Yue commanded meaningfully.
"Yes, Princess of the World." Bai Hui's eyes flickered, his lips squeezed as he knew it, and he blessed his body and led his life. "The slave-servant will tell the steward Zhu that he will not let His Highness Carrero lose his life."
Die, isn’t it too simple, too cheap Carrero and Aimu!
Bai Hui quickly stepped back, and then threw a thrush after waiting outside for a while, and then came in: "Concubine, the ceremony is ready."
Nangong Yue nodded slightly and smiled: "Then let someone send it away."
As soon as her voice fell, she heard a smiling female voice come along with the sound of the curtain picking up: "Yue'er, today is the 14th of the first month, how come the Lantern Festival is so late?"
I saw that Queer led Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia in one after another. The person who spoke just now was Yuan Yuyi.
As she walked, she winked at Nangong Yue in a playful manner, and the slightly ridiculous expression seemed to be saying, Yueer, you will not be too busy to forget!
Nangong Yue smiled right, Wen Wen asked the two to sit down.
The Lantern Festival is a big festival, how could Nangong Yue forget the ceremony, even if she has a lot of trivial things, there are Bai Hui and Thrush who are their helpers.
The ceremonies to be sent today are prepared in addition to the regular ceremonies of each government.
A few days ago, Nangong Yue received Xiao Yi's Biography of Flying Pigeons, which mentioned that the young pioneers who had accompanied Xiao Yi to Xiye had made many achievements.Although Xiao Yi only mentioned a few words at random, Nangong Yue could already imagine his smug tone, showing off a bit, and proud of it.
As a result, Nangong Yue temporarily intended to prepare a special ceremony for Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi, Yan Xijun, and other young camp juniors.
"Yue'er," Yuan Yuyi sat down next to Nangong Yue while saying, "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Cousin Xia said there will be a lantern festival in the city tomorrow night."
Nangong Yue nodded: "Our Lantern Festival in southern Xinjiang is very different from Wangdu. Sister Yi, you rarely come to Luoyue City, but you have to go and play to be worthwhile."
Listening to Nangong Yue said naturally, "We are in southern Xinjiang", the original Yuyi couldn't help but startled. It seems that for Yue'er, Nanjiang is already her home.
Thinking, her mouth slightly tickled, laughing: "My cousin Xia and I have made an appointment to go to the Lantern Festival together tomorrow night. Yue'er, would you like to follow us?" Yuan Yuyi originally wanted to invite Jiang Yixi, but Jiang Yixi never gave up. After arriving in southern Xinjiang, he was weak, Xu was the reason for the fatigue of the boat, or maybe he was sick. Thinking of it, Yuan Yuyi felt a bit sighed.
Nangong Yue raised her eyebrows and asked deliberately: "Can I bring one more person?"
When she asked this question, Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia could not help but glance at each other, thinking of the same person, the two girls were shining with both eyes, responding in unison: "That is nature."
My brother Yu has not seen the lantern festival yet!Nangong Yue smiled deeper on her lips. "The lamp will be so lively, Brother Yu will like it." Xiao Xiaoyu is lively and has been lively since childhood, and he is not afraid of life. It is conceivable that tomorrow's lantern will definitely make the little guy happy.Exactly, the cat lamp that Xiao Rongyu made for Xiao Xiaoyu can also be used!
The two girls kept busy, one said they would help take care of the little one together, and the other said they would choose the best looking lantern to give to the little one. For a time, the house was busy.
The imperial concubine and grandson were going to the Lantern Festival immediately, and Zhu Xing and Bai Hui were busy. Aimu was probably still in Luoyue City, so this trip must be carefully arranged for the escort. You also need to choose the restaurant with the best view and arrange the surroundings of the restaurant.
Time is blinking in the middle of a busy day. The second day is the Lantern Festival. The streets and alleys of the city are filled with lanterns and lanterns. The flowers are everywhere, filled with a strong festive atmosphere. When the night is over, this kind of celebration arrives instantly** The lanterns were lit one after another, the lights were swaying, and the surroundings were gorgeous, which seemed brighter than the stars in the sky.
As night fell, a few VIPs were ushered in the Tayun Restaurant, and the boss personally greeted the elegant seat facing the street on the third floor.
"Yue'er, cousin Yi, this elegant seat is in a good position, suitable for watching lights." Han Qixia said while walking to the window and pointing to the street outside the window, "After half an hour, the dragon dance team will follow This Dongyun Street goes from east to west. Look, from this window, Dongyun Street is clear."
Nangong Yue and Yuan Yuyi looked out in the direction of Han Qixia, and saw that the whole red light on Dongyun Street hung high, people came and went, and most people also carried lanterns in their hands.
Looking down from the window on the third floor, the entire Dongyun Street is like a dazzling river of lights.
The beauty in front of them made the three girls rave, but the little guy in Silk Lady's arms disagreed, twisting her body and screaming, "Go away."
The word "walk" sounds unclear, but Silk Niang naturally knows that Xiao Shisun is going to walk by himself, so he leans over and puts him on the floor.
After the little guy landed, he couldn't wait to point to Queer. Queer quickly handed the lantern in his hand to the young master and said with a smile: "Shisun, you can rest assured that your lantern slave will take good care of you. ."
The little guy didn't know if he heard the sound of Queer, and his big black and white eyes stared at the cat lamp in his hand without blinking.
Today is the Lantern Festival, the little guy almost got a lantern in the room, the king of Zhennan sent him a horse lantern, the Wei side concubine gave him a lotus lantern, Xiao Fei bought him a rabbit lantern, and all the gifts from various governments Planting lanterns, bird lights, carp lights, etc., but Xiao Xiaoyu still likes the cat lamp that Xiao Rongyu personally made for him.
This is a small orange lantern. The bulging lantern is used as the head of the cat, and then the ears and whiskers of the cat are glued on, and then the three-petal mouth and a pair of golden cat eyes are painted.
Since Xiao Xiaoyu got this cat lamp this morning, he hasn't put down much.
It was when Nangong Yue had persuaded him to persuade him that he had just let him go to Queer for a while.
As soon as the little one got the Cat's Lamp, he walked around in the seat with pleasure and made a "giggling" laugh, and walked to Yuan Yuyi and Han Qixia to show off their lanterns from time to time.
The people in the room boasted cooperatively, so the little guy laughed more happily, and his big eyes bent into a lovely crescent.
There was constant laughter in the seat, and at the same time, Dongyun Street outside was getting more and more lively, with a festive noise.
On the one hand, the people gathered here to wait for the dragon dance team and floats to arrive. On the other hand, many people heard that the imperial concubine and his grandson also came to watch the lanterns in the Yunyun Restaurant, so they came one after another and extended their necks one by one. The elegant seats on the second and third floors of Chaotayun Restaurant looked at each other, whispering and whispering.
"Is Princess Shizi and Shisun really coming to Tayun Restaurant?" A dark, skinny young man could not help but stood up with excitement, looking up at him...
An old lady with gray hair next to him immediately said: "Is there any fake?! Didn't you see the Wangfu guard standing at the door of Tayun Restaurant?"
"Fathers and grandchildren made a congratulatory greeting, and made my south Xinjiang raise his eyebrows!" Another scholar said with a humanistic expression. "It is a rare Lantern Festival today, and I don't know if we have a chance to see the grandson's style tonight!"
"Why not! We didn't see it when Shisun entered the door, but he always came out from inside?" The old lady said with a voice, attracting a lot of people around him, a few words of kung fu, The flow of people on Dongyun Street is even denser, making it almost impossible to move.
No one noticed that a small, middle-aged man with a long face and a bearded face stood in the back of the crowd. He followed the crowd and looked towards the direction of the Tayun Restaurant. A sharp disappointment appeared in his sharp eyes.
"He" is Aimu who is posing.
Today is the Lantern Festival. There are too many people. Although it is convenient for her to hide her whereabouts, it also makes it difficult for her to find an opportunity to get close to Nangong Yue. They seem to have no chance to do it tonight.
In the past two days, she has used several times to urge the child's guts in Jiang Yixi's body with her mother's gu, trying to force Nangong Yue to commit crimes and release Carrero.
It seems that the other party does not care about Jiang Yixi's life and death!
Aimu shook his fist, his waist was still straight, like the pine and cypress in the cold wind, arrogant and tenacious, his thoughts turned fast.
It was she who overestimated the King's Mansion in Zhennan. I am afraid that the last time Nangong Yue was willing to exchange Carrero for Jiang Yixi's reputation, but now that this superficial effort has been done, she doesn't care about Jiang Yixi's life or death.
The palace of Zhennan is nothing more than a tycoon!
Fortunately, the layout of the game was not completely destroyed. Only half of the game was played. It is still undecided who will live or die.
Thinking, Ayimu flashed a cold awn, and glanced in the direction of the elegant seat of Tayun Restaurant, his eyes like the vulture staring at his prey.
At this moment, the whole street suddenly boiled up, and the excited voices of the people came one after another: "Look! Look at the dragon dance team!"
"And floats!"
"This year's Lamp King doesn't know what it looks like?"
""
The surroundings became more and more lively, and the crowd became more and more heated, as if the air was burning hot.
Aimu, who was in the crowd, withdrew his gaze and quietly stepped back. One step, two steps, and three steps finally exited the crowd and entered a small alley behind, disappearing into the darkness quickly.
The hustle and bustle around was still hot, as if Aimu had never been there.
Not far away, the dragon dance team is getting closer and closer. In the sound of gongs and drums, a dazzling long dragon dances in a meandering way, attracting the cheering around.
Behind the dragon dance team is a huge float. Three slim girls wearing only half-sleeved yarn skirts dance among the numerous lotus lights on the float. Under the gorgeous lotus lights, the girls look Like a dream, as if the fairy in the heavenly palace had fallen into the dust, cheers and applause mixed with the noisy gongs and drums.
Not only the people below were cheering, but Xiao Xiaoyu in the elegant seat on the third floor also heard it.He was hugged to a circle chair by the window, a pair of fleshy little hands holding the window sill tightly, looking down at the dragon dance team below.
The little boy's eyes shone like lights, and as the dragon danced, he leaned forward and yawned together, while screaming "ahh", with two rows of rice grains of teeth exposed.
Nangong Yue wrapped around the waist of the little guy with one hand, looked at his little guy with a smile, and by the way taught him several new words, such as "dragon", such as "lion", such as "dance"
The voice of the little guy's milk and milk, and the babble's language are really cute. It seems that his two aunts have changed their hearts. Later, they don't know whether they came to see the lantern festival, or come to see Xiao Xiaoyu of.
The long street tour team could not see the end at a glance, the voices were full of people, the lights of Luoyue City tonight did not go out, all night long
However, in the far northwest, the cold wind still roared, and the clouds continued.
Since the capture of the Central City, whether it is the sky above the Xiye capital city or all the Xiye people, they are shrouded in a thick haze. In this short battle gap, instead of feeling relieved, they The heart is getting heavier and heavier.
This seemed to be the tranquility before the storm, and the air was so overwhelming that it was breathless.
In just a few days, the Western Night King had been haggard a lot, turning around at night, almost sleepless at night.
A blockade report was piled up on the Xiyewang's royal case. The piles were higher and higher. On the top of the stack of battle reports was a white piece of cloth with a few lines of large characters written on it.
This is the battle book that day when the official language Bai Yi arrow hit the walls of the capital city, and that arrow even shot its own banner!
The words and sentences on the war books are so arrogant and arrogant. The black ink was so dazzling against the white cloth. Whenever I saw it, the eyes of the king of Xiye hurt.
The official language is white, just like the tarsal maggot, he does not want to let go of himself!
Thinking about it, Xi Yewang's face was so dark that he almost dripped out ink, and many memories flashed quickly in his mind.
At that time, he had just passed the weak crown. He was full of ambition and vigorous spirit. For the first time, he was ordered by the father Wang alone to lead 10,000 soldiers to the battlefield of Xijiang. Bring the money, weapons and prisoners of war in the city back to Xiye.
The guards of Yangyu City were only 3,000 men, and there was no chance of winning against his 10,000 army. However, he did not expect that he had been ambushed by an official army before he arrived in Yangyu City. There are five thousand people in the area, but the leader is just a young boy who is not so good, but he wins with less, which makes him defeated.
At that time, he took the opportunity to make an orderly retreat, and then returned to Xiye with two thousand disabled soldiers.
Since then, the young man’s name and figure have been branded in his heart forever.
Guan Yubai, this young man named Guan Yubai is his longtime enemy!
He vowed to let the Mandarin be defeated by his army, and split the five horses. However, no matter how he tempered himself and the Western Night Army, no matter how invincible he was against other surrounding small countries, the battle was exhausted, every time he met When the official language was white, it was a disastrous defeat, with no suspense.
One year, three years, five years!
Until one day, one of his counselors mentioned him—
A conspiracy or a conspiracy, as long as it can achieve a great cause, it is a hero!
Yeah, why should he have to face off against the official language white with real swordsmanship, no matter what means he uses, as long as he can get rid of the official language white, then he has defeated the official language white, that is, his Gao Mihao Won!
To this end, he had read the history books of the Central Plains for hundreds of years and the biography of famous dynasties, and finally made him understand.
It is not difficult to get rid of the official language Bai and even the official family army!
Just use his spear to attack his shield.
Just by breaking through from the inside of Dayu, with the suspiciousness and suspicion of Emperor Dayu, you can ruin the Mandarin!
Everything went as he planned, the official language was in vain, and the official army was destroyed.
Rao is that mandarin, Bai Zai is extremely talented, and no matter what he has done, it has not been ruined in the hands of his Gao Miyao, and he used this to win the favor of his father, and successfully stood out from his brothers. Point to the Prince, and later boarded the treasure, became the king of the Western Night!
Nine years have passed!For nine years, he thought that his nightmare had long since ended. He thought he could finally start his grand career, winning Dayu, and expanding the layout of his Xiye several times, and his name has since stayed in history.
I didn't expect this to become his biggest nightmare!
And this nightmare seems to be endless in general, he and the whole night are stuck in this nightmare!
Suddenly, a messy footsteps sounded outside Yushufang, getting closer and closer. Soon, a middle-aged soldier walked into Yushutan breathlessly, kneeling on one knee and clenching his fists: "The king, the official language is white Has led the army to Baishan City!"
Baishan City?!Xiyewang's pupils shrank and his heart tightened. Baishan City was only about a hundred miles away from the capital!
How could this be?!
It was only half a month, and the envoys he sent to the capital of Dayu had no news yet, but the official Bai did act so quickly!
If this continues, even if the Emperor Dayu is willing to help him, I am afraid that the far water will not be close to the fire. Even if he immediately immediately recalled the frontline troops in West Xinjiang, he can't reach the capital now.
Next, what should I do?!
King Xiye had a disordered mood and couldn't understand her for a while. After a while, she frowned and asked, "Lakda, only the official language is white? What about Xiao Yi, the king of Zhennan?"
Lak Dalen froze for a moment, then immediately bowed back and said: "Shang Wang, Xiao Yi stayed in the central city, only the official Mandarin Bai led the tens of thousands of southern Xinjiang troops to approach the capital!"
King Xiye was dumbfounded. The king of the south of the town acted inexplicably. There was no way to find it. What the hell was he thinking?!He stayed in the Central City himself, and let the official Mandarin white-collar soldiers attack him in the West Night City. Isn't he afraid that after the official Mandarin white attack on the city, the yellow robe will increase and become a king?!
Why Xiao Yisi didn't care about this great opportunity to build a military power, so he gave his hand to the official language?Does he have any other conspiracy?!
The Western Night King became more and more irritable, Huo Di stood up and walked back and forth in the Imperial Study, circle after circle
Lakda on the side was still kneeling on one knee, not daring to alarm King Xiye.
With that monotonous pace, Xi Yewang's heart calmed down a little bit, and he said to himself, the more this time, the more calm he must be.
What Xiao Yi thinks is not important. Obviously, the core character of the southern army is the official language, and only the official language is white!
As long as he removes the official language, the South Xinjiang Army will inevitably disintegrate the army and defeat without battle!
Xiye Wang narrowed his eyes, a sharp flash flashed in his eyes.
Maybe it's time for the move you hid for a long time!
Thinking, King Xiye's eyes became firm, determined, and sonorously ordered: "Lakda, you go to Dongshan Camp for the lonely"
The coarse voice of the Western Night King echoed in Yushufang. After he gave an explanation, Lakda hurried away.
The sky outside was dark, and the night covered the earth
When dawn came to the earth again, the sun's rays penetrated the darkness, "stomp", a vigorous middle-aged knight riding a high-headed horse riding the dawn's dawn horse racing, until he stopped in front of a city.
Without asking the guards on the city wall, the middle-aged man immediately shouted aloud: "The old department of the Major General Wu Nai, I came to see the Major General, and I hope to pass it on!"
His loud voice resounded all around.
