Hidden Sky Light

Chen Ling was moved.

Barr has always been a big worry for Yan Han in the north.

Tan Jin has been guarding the north with his grandfather and father since he was a child, and the Baal people have always been taboo against Tan Jin. Even if Tan Jin later left the north, he has always been deterred by the fact that the middle of Baal did not dare to attack rashly.

Over the years, the small frictions between Yanhan and Baal on the border have never ceased, but there have been only two major conflicts. In the end, the garrison led by Tan Jin resisted Baal's aggression.

When Tan Jin is here, the Baal people will scruple him.

However, in the Ancheng Rebellion, Tan Jin died, and the scruples in the heart of Baer were gone. In addition, the winter that was hard to come by in a hundred years, in fact, the situation in the north before and after the New Year was very dangerous, so Chen Ling asked the Ministry of War to urgently mobilize a large number of garrisoned troops north to garrison. .

And once Barr invades, the west will also face double-line harassment from Xirong. This past winter, Yanhan was walking on thin ice.

As the emperor, Chen Ling knew very well that if Yan Han and Cang Yue could reach a private agreement and form an alliance, the pressure on the north side of Yan Han would be much lessened.

Among the neighboring countries, Cang Yue's promise was the most guaranteed.

Only Cang Yue dared to make such a promise.

There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests. Cang Yue must have interests in Xirong.

What Bai Jin said was right, Cang Yue gave enough chips.

The stability of more than ten or twenty years is enough for Yan Korea to create another prosperous era; but it is impossible to deal with Xirong and Baer Yanhan...

It was late at night, and Chen Ling was still thinking about this in the garden.

In mid-March, the border was still a little cool at night, so she put on a cloak and thought about it in the garden.

This matter is not a trivial matter, she has many things to think about.

What are the risks of letting Harmia go? Or continue to maintain a temporary balance with the tribes to the east of Xirong?

After reaching an agreement with Cang Yue on this matter, will the west side be controlled by Cang Yue and Xi Rong at the same time?

How far can Cang Yue deter Baer?

If there is really a chance to create a prosperous world of Yan and Han again, should we still maintain the status quo under the restraint of Xi Rong and Baer?

…

Although Chen Ling held up the teacup, the teacup had been put on his lips for a long time, and his thoughts had been elsewhere.

Harmia wrote a blood letter to Shen Ci in Qucheng, and then killed Xue Chao in Hongcheng. Shen Ci hated Harmia to the core.

If Bai Jin really wanted to meet Harmiya, Shen Ci would also be in the west...

She has seen Shen Ci's appearance when she learned of Xue Chao's death, and she has also seen the forbearance in Shen Ci's eyes when he left Beijing and returned to the west.

If she finally reached a covenant with Harmia, she would undoubtedly put a knife in Shen Ci's heart...

Chen Ling held the tea cup in his hands and stared at the ripples in the cup.

If this knife, she was the one who pierced Shen Ci's heart, not someone else...

Chen Ling's mind was buzzing, what would happen to Shen Ci?

Would it be more heartbreaking than hearing about Xue Chao's death?

Chen Ling sighed, as the emperor, she had to consider the whole of Yan Han. But she also knew very well that if it wasn't for Shen Ci, she knew very well what to do and what not to do.

Shen Ci will consider her in everything she does, she doesn't want Shen Ci...

Chen Ling lowered his head and lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the stone bench in the warm pavilion in a daze.

Namshun is a peaceful corner, and it was not prosperous a long time ago, but because of the Qujiang River as a natural moat, it has always been the country with the least war among the surrounding countries, and stability is the best soil. After hundreds of years of recuperation, the current Nanshun Already strong and strong.

On the other hand, Yanhan has Xirong to the west, Cang Yue to the east and south, Baer, ​​Xiqin, Qiangya to the north, surrounded by tigers and wolves. However, after Yanhan annexed Beiyu, it was once second only to Cang Yue in prosperity. If there was no subsequent continuous civil strife, Yanhan would have been able to check and balance the surrounding, but he missed the best opportunity.

Now is the opportunity.

Qiangya, the turmoil in the Western Qin Kingdom, is in turmoil, and if the agreement between Yanhan and Cangyue can maintain the stability with Xirong and Baer, ​​Yanhan will have a long period of stability, and will gradually become prosperous...

She won't be distracted.

Bo Jin is also sure that she will be tempted...

Bo Jin is not a kind person either.

Although every sentence is beneficial, what is not said is the consequence of the conflict with Cang Yue.

Cang Yue was just to the east of Yan Han. If Cang Yue and Yan Han clashed, Yan Han would be attacked on three sides, and Yan Han's situation would deteriorate sharply. So, is the bargaining chip in Bai Jin's mouth enough? Originally, it was a pun, and he had a bad relationship with Cang Yue. Is the bargaining chip in Yan Han's hand enough?

She had thought earlier that Bo Jin would be difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect that he didn't mention a word, but pressured him everywhere.

Bai Jin is amazing...

Chen Ling took a sip of the tea, and it was already cold.

Chen Ling still drank it.

The sound of footsteps came in front of him, and Chen Ling saw that it was Sheng Wenyu.

"Your Majesty." Sheng Wenyu saw that she had been sitting in the garden for a long time, "Just now, I saw that Your Majesty has been in the warm pavilion for a long time."

Sheng Wenyu was also in the carriage today.

Sheng Wenyu could hear Bai Jin's words clearly.

Chen Ling just put down the tea cup, and the herbal tea was so cold that his stomach felt a little uncomfortable, "Shao Feng, accompany me to drink a cup of warm wine to drive away the cold."

"Okay." Sheng Wenyu responded.

He knew that she rarely looked for wine to drink, because she was worried, and she was completely cold after drinking the herbal tea just now.

Soon, the waiter brought warm wine, and Sheng Wenyu poured the wine for Chen Ling.

Chen Ling took it and took a sip. The aroma of the wine penetrated into his limbs along his lips. It seemed that the coolness just now dissipated slowly in his body, and it warmed up little by little.

"Is there something in your heart?" Sheng Wenyu rarely asked.

Chen Ling nodded, not shy, "I'm thinking about Bo Jin, you heard that Bo Jin is putting pressure on me..."

Sheng Wenyu looked at her.

Chen Ling continued, "He came to Yanhan Licheng from Cang Yue, and he himself was putting pressure on me, but he didn't say a single heavy word, as if he was thinking about Yan Han everywhere. "

Chen Ling took another sip.

She didn't speak, and Sheng Wenyu didn't speak either.

After a long time, Chen Ling said, "I hope that one day, Yan Han will be able to return to its earlier prosperity."

Sheng Wenyu looked at her and said firmly, "Yes."

Chen Ling smiled, "Do you believe it?"

He nodded, "Why don't you believe it? Your Majesty is more diligent in political affairs than the previous emperor, and he has done more than others. The current Yanhan is better than the previous Yanhan; I believe that with Your Majesty, Yanhan can restore its earlier prosperity. , I still believe that Yan Han will be better than before."

Chen Ling looked at him, slowly restrained her smile, and finally said in a low voice, "Thank you, Shao Feng."

Sheng Wenyu said softly, "Your Majesty, there is no word of thanks between monarchs and ministers."

Chen Ling smiled and said, "Shaofeng, I mean friends."

Sheng Wenyu said warmly, "There are no friends between monarchs and ministers, but if there are, those who are monarchs will be biased and lose their due judgment. Your Majesty has always been clear."

Chen Ling looked at him.

Sheng Wenyu put down the cup, got up and handed her hands, "Your Majesty, Sheng Wenyu will always be there, and Jianping Marquis Mansion will always be there."

Chen Ling said softly, "I know."

Sheng Wenyu raised his head, "Your Majesty, rest early, Wei Chen retire."

Chen Ling nodded.

***

In another garden, Bo Jin raised the curtain and went out from the inner room to the outer pavilion, and saw the grapes guarding the outer pavilion.

Bai Jin said quietly, "Don't go to the roof?"

Grape trembled, "The roof is so cold."

Then he complained again, "I just don't know why Yumu always likes to go?"

Bai Jin is here to drink water. Now, he opened the tea cup and poured the water while saying, "He is very cold, so he went to a place that is high and cold."

Grape:"…"

Makes sense!

After Bo Jin finished drinking, he put down the teacup, turned to go back to the inner room, and pushed the grapes up, "His Royal Highness, will Emperor Heng agree?"

Grapes are curious.

Bai Jin looked at him, "Why do you suddenly remember to ask this?"

Grape sighed, "I just think Harmia is very annoying, and the name is difficult."

Bai Jin continued to look at him.

Grape quickly fell silent.

Bai Jin said warmly, "Well, I hate him too."

Grape blinked.

Bai Jin continued, "But the geographical locations of Yanhan and Xirong are very important. Both Yanhan and Xirong are stable, and the road to the west is stable. Right now, Qiangya and Xiqin are both in civil strife, and there needs to be an alternative road."

Grape mouth.

Bai Jin asked, "Is there any news from Yumu?"

Grape just remembered, and almost forgot, "Oh, by the way, Your Highness, Lord Yumu has news that he has left, saying that everything is normal."

"Okay." Bai Jin responded.

Just as he was about to turn back to the inner room, Bai Jin stopped to look at him again, "Also, Harmia is a surname, not a given name, because of his influence in the Puyi tribe, other people replaced the original name with Harmia. Address him. Surname instead of first name, which is an honor of the Puyi tribe."

Grape accident.

***

"General, after searching for several days, I finally found it." Han Guan and Guo Zixiao lay on Shen Ci's side.

When sneaking into Xirong, be careful everywhere.

But fortunately, according to the clues at the time, it was found that Harmia was likely to be hiding in the Aotou tribe, and some spies probed the news. According to the news of the root army, it was very likely that Harmia was indeed Harmia.

The detailed situation is not clear at the moment, but they lie in the distance and see people coming and going from a distance.

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "It's Harmia."

Both Han Guan and Guo Zixiao took a deep breath.

Only the general here can recognize Harmia, and the name must be from the general's mouth.

Han Guan suddenly got up and said angrily, "I killed him!"

"Don't be impulsive, Lao Han!" Guo Zixiao dragged him back.

"He killed Lao Xue!" Han Guan's eyes were red.

"Now is not the time!" Guo Zixiao knew that he was with Lao Xue. Several times, Han Guan was brought back by Lao Xue on the battlefield.

"General!" Han Guan looked at Shen Ci,

"Come back!" Shen Ci said in a deep voice.

"General..." Han Guan violently bullied his chest.

Shen Ci didn't look at him, but continued to lie in the same place, his eyes continued to look at the place where he was just now, and continued, "I know that it is Harmiya, and I also know that he killed Lao Xue, but now in Xirong, we need to confirm that the east of Xirong is except for The Aotou tribe, who else is with Harmiya, these are all about the border of the city, calm down."

Han Guan clenched his hands tightly, but when Shen Ci spoke, Han Guan still listened.

Turn back to the distance again, watching the night fall little by little.

"Come out!" Guo Zixiao kept staring attentively, and in the middle of the night, Guo Zixiao suddenly reminded him.

"He's the leader of the Aotou tribe." Han Guan recognized it.

Guo Zixiao was surprised, "Could it be that Harmia formed an alliance with the Aotou tribe? General, this is tricky!"

If there are people from the Aotou tribe all the time, if they want to kill Harmia, they will conflict with the people from the Aotou tribe, and the Aotou tribe is on the edge of Licheng, and it is easy to have friction.

Shen Ci whispered, "Let people continue to inquire."

Han Guan was anxious, "General, if you are late, you will leave."

"Wait then." Shen Ci said in a deep voice.

Han Guan was puzzled, "Let him go like this, Lao Xue's account hasn't been settled yet!"

Shen Ci looked at him, "Old Xue's account needs to be settled, but it must be settled safely. If there is a conflict, how many garrisoned troops and how many lives will be lost in this battle? What are you doing?"

Han Guan was slightly startled.

Shen Ci looked back and continued to look forward, "Lao Xue's death, I am no less sad than you, Han Guan, you are more awake."

Han Guan was stunned, but did not make a sound.

There were spies continuing to investigate, and they didn’t dare to get too close, but Harmia left the Aotou tribe’s camp, they couldn’t follow too close, but they couldn’t get lost, so they kept following from a distance.

When it was almost dawn, I suddenly heard a rapid and sharp bird chirping, which was the agreed code.

Harmia is single!

"Go!" Shen Ci said.

Guo Zixiao and Han Guan brought people to suddenly pounce, and there were not many people around Harmiya. They fought with Shen Ci, Guo Zixiao, and Han Guan and brought dozens of people to fight and scuffle.

The person who suddenly came out caught Harmia by surprise.

Shen Ci stretched out his hand and pressed the saber, and said in a deep voice, "Halmia."

Harmia smiled strangely, "Shen Ci? Are you really chasing after you?"

Shen Ci drew his sword, "Didn't you meet me at the border of Licheng? Yes!"
