On December 10, the fifth year of Emperor Yincheng, Tianqi City, Gui Palace. The eldest princess was dressed in plain gauze, sitting barefoot on the couch, hugging a brocade pillow, playing chess with Lei Bicheng.Dongqing after the snow, the Eldest Princess seemed to be in a very good mood, she just laughed, and the light laughter rippled slowly out of the palace like ripples, charming, but Lei Bicheng was sitting upright thinking, as if he didn’t hear anything . Ning Qing bowed and stood behind the eldest princess, sometimes eagerly went up to massage her shoulders, sometimes took the hot tea from the waitress and handed it over until the temperature was just right. Then the eldest princess gently stroked his soft A jade-like face.

"Ning Qing, Mr. Bicheng hung a hand on the top of the new chess piece I played, how do you think I should deal with it better?" The eldest princess sipped the camphor tea produced in Ningzhou, giggling and asking. Ning Qing bowed and bowed, folded her sleeves and pondered for a moment: "Mr. Bicheng seems to intend to cut off the sixteen sons of the eldest princess with the force of 'Yan Cut'. The moves are sharp, but if they are too sharp, there will be flaws. Ning Qing For the sake of the eldest princess, you might as well take a step to the left, so that Mr. Bicheng still needs to take at least two more steps if he wants to get out of the "Yanqie" situation. Judging from the board, Mr. Bicheng will not take these two steps To cut off the sixteen sons of the Eldest Princess."

Before he finished speaking, Lei Bicheng had already thrown a dark emerald chess piece in his hand into the wooden box, which meant admitting defeat. "Mr. Ning Qing can be regarded as a national player of Dayin's generation in terms of chess skills. As the eldest princess' military advisor, Mr. Ning Qing has no chance of winning in Lei Bicheng." He bowed and saluted, and then looked up at Ning Qing, "Now the game is already overwhelmed. There are more than seventy chess pieces, and a blind person can remember the position of each chess piece and make a judgment so quickly, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have dared to imagine it.”

Ning Qing respectfully replied: "That's because Mr. Bicheng's eyes are like torches, and he must rely on those eyes, so there is no need to learn mental arithmetic. And Ning Qing was born blind. For a blind man, the things in his mind It’s everything in the world. When I learned chess from my father, I relied on memorizing the board. Therefore, Mr. Bicheng thinks that memorizing the board is difficult, but to me it’s as simple as seeing it with my own eyes.” Lei Bicheng thought for a while, and returned the salute to Ning Qing: "Mr. Ning Qing said so, it is very meaningful and admirable."

"Don't dare, Mr. Cheng Bicheng praised it." Ning Qing replied again. The eldest princess smiled like a string of silver bells, and tapped the heads of the two bowing people with the pillow in her hand: "Look at you saluting like this, you bowed to each other, and it's not over yet, it's really interesting But don't forget that I won this game, Ning Qing, just a military adviser." "In Yunzhong Ye's "Four Volumes of Bingwu", the chapter "Range Rover" says, "To kill, the general uses strategy, the lieutenant general uses tactics, and the subordinate general uses war." Employing people is the greatest strategy, strategy, and power Those who did it. The eldest princess can use such an incomparable talent as Mr. Ning Qing, it is an extraordinary strategy, and our victory is also achieved by the eldest princess's strategy." Lei Bicheng said respectfully.

The eldest princess was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled, she leaned on Ning Qing charmingly while smiling, and beat his shoulder: "Ning Qing, you said that Mr. Bicheng can talk a lot, one of you is the messenger of God, and the other He is an unborn talent, and he did everything well, so to speak, it is my credit. I am greedy for your great achievements, shouldn't I be so happy?" Ning Qing just smiled and let her beat softly. The eldest princess's movements stopped suddenly.She was stunned for a moment, her eyes shifted, she looked at Ning Qing's face, and her voice drifted: "But I suddenly became worried again, will you, an unborn talent like you, walk away from me one day and never come back?"

Ning Qing was taken aback, her face changed slightly, just as she was about to say something, the Eldest Princess leaned forward slightly and approached Lei Bicheng: "How sure is Mr. Bicheng of our victory?" "Ninety percent." Lei Bicheng replied, "According to the latest information, the Qingyang tribe was defeated for the first time under Beidu. No one can stop Shuobei's wolf riders anymore. And the progress of the Yu Clan is quite smooth." "Then this Dayin will soon be troubled by internal and external troubles," the eldest princess nodded slightly, "Okay, very good! Foreign soldiers will let those arrogant princes have a taste of what it's like to have soldiers approaching the city. They have to understand one thing. In times of war, only our Bai clan can defeat foreign enemies and defend the territory!"

"Forty thousand crossbows are ready to fire at any time!" Lei Bicheng said, "The only one who can defeat the barbarian iron cavalry and the feathered longbow in the Eastern Land is the Eldest Princess." At this time, a young white-clothed official put his hands in his sleeves and walked quickly with his head down. As soon as he stepped into the eldest princess's bedroom, he knelt down by the door and saluted. He didn't even dare to lift his head from the beginning to the end. The eldest princess glanced at him lightly, feeling a little annoyed.This person is the imperial secretary of the current emperor, and his official position is Lantai Ling. He is a low-ranking minister in the emperor, but he is also the object of many people's curry favor.It was she who recommended this young man to the current emperor five years ago, but the performance of this young man by the emperor's side really disappointed her.This young man was doted on by her when he was sixteen years old, and his writing style was charming and charming. At that time, he was considered the dream of rich and famous ladies in the imperial capital.But now that she has really become a minister of the royal family, she feels that her aura has declined, and she has become a stupid person with only a certain appearance. Compared with Ning Qing behind her, she is nothing more than heaven and earth.

Ever since she found this child named Ning Qing, she suddenly felt that other men in the world had become dirty.Only this child, no matter when he is submissive or when he is swaying, she likes her from the bottom of her heart, even when she sees him sitting quietly in front of the snow window, a pair of eyes that can't see are silently fluttering out of the window Feng Xue, who came in, also felt that this big boy who might not yet be called a man had emeralds as his bones and snowy skin, and a wisp of condensed sandalwood smoke as his soul. It's inconvenient for her to get angry with Lan Tailing, because she sent him to the emperor's side in the first place because she got Ning Qing.She was worried that there would not be room for two beautiful men in this bedroom, so she found an excuse to drive one of them out.But this Lan Tailing is just ignorant, since he went out for five years, every time he enters the palace, he still doesn't ask anyone to inform him, and he still seems to regard this couch as his shelter.

She turned her head slightly and glanced at Ning Qing. Ning Qing folded her hands in her big sleeves and stood silently bowed. Those faint eyes that seemed to be covered in smoke quietly looked ahead, with a faint smile. "Princess, the censors said that after reading Xi Yan's dossier, they already have an idea. The seven censors have the same idea, and they want to see what the princess means." Lan Tailing's voice was soft. "Oh? Master Yushi's hands and feet have become more agile." The eldest princess smiled lazily, "Let's hear it, how these old masters want to punish Xi Yan."

"According to the censors, the barbarian son escaped from Nanhuai City mainly because a green tassel guard under General Xi's command robbed the execution ground, and let the barbarian cavalry sneak into Nanhuai to respond. General Xi's supervision of his subordinates is lax. He should be severely punished, and he is also the teacher of a barbarian heir. If he can’t teach the law, it is also a crime. However, from the file, it can’t be seen that General Xi is suspected of secretly collaborating with the barbarians, and it can’t be said that he rebelled. The city defense of Nanhuai was not in charge of General Xi, so he was charged by the barbarians. The cavalry sneaked in, and the blame cannot be placed on General Xi. Considering that General Xi had made great contributions to the king of Shangyang Guanqin and had been loyal to the royal family for many years, he should be convicted as appropriate. imprison him, make him repent and rehabilitate..." "Bastard!" The eldest princess couldn't continue listening impatiently, got up and grabbed a jade smoking bottle on the case, and slammed it at Lantai Ling. The snuff pot fell to the ground with a loud "bang", and fell apart. The rich-colored jadeite was smashed into white powder under the anger of the eldest princess.Lan Tailing was so startled that his whole body trembled, kowtowing continuously.He also knew that the princess was probably not satisfied with the verdict, and he had already thought of a few words to deal with before he came, but under the majesty of this woman, he couldn't say a word.He also hugged this woman's naked body in the brocade quilt, and was fed soup with her coquettish smile, but he could feel the ferocity of a she-wolf in her. His grace is immediately taken away, and there is no room for rebellion. "Didn't Xiyan secretly inform the barbarians? Then when the barbarians robbed the court, Xiyan happened to have a whim, and with a warrant, all the troops stationed in the city were transferred to the wilderness in the south of the city and stood there for a whole day? It also happened that Xiyan had a whim that day, so Burned all his files? Xiyan didn't rebel? Heavenly Exorcist Master Wan Lei Eagle didn't rebel?" The eldest princess laughed angrily, "What do you think the Heavenly Exorcist Warriors are? You all paid for it to drink and prostitute private organization?" Ning Qing walked forward slowly, leaning close to the eldest princess's ear: "Eldest princess, don't be angry, probably Xi Yan really hid himself very deeply, and he couldn't tell from the surface that he was a traitor of Tianqi. He also sent all the files and The letter was burned, and we couldn't find much evidence. The censors probably wanted to protect themselves, and they didn't want to give a heavy sentence, right?" "What are these idiots at Yushitai thinking? This time, the trouble will never end. One day, the fox Xiyan will escape to the forest!" The eldest princess glanced at him and lowered her voice slightly. "Go back and bring a letter to the censors. When Ying Wuyi occupied Tianqi, in order to protect herself, she attached herself to Ying Wuyi. The eldest princess gave her kindness and would not pursue it. The reason they stayed with Ying Wuyi has changed over time. Forget it. But now the eldest princess is assisting His Majesty in governing Tianqi City, if all the censors still want to be loyal to Ying Wuyi, it will be a capital offense." Lei Bicheng said lightly, waving his hands, "Please, all censors, renew Look at Xi Yan's dossier again and think about it." Seeing Lei Bicheng waving his hand to order him to retreat, Lan Tailing hurriedly bid farewell to the eldest princess like a condemned prisoner, and escaped from the Gui Palace almost scrambling.It wasn't until he stood in the sunlight outside the palace wall that he shivered violently. Cold sweat poured out of his pores and drenched his underwear. This time it wasn't that he was afraid of the eldest princess, he was used to the coldness and irritability of this woman, but the moment Lei Bicheng slowly opened his eyes, he was so shocked that he couldn't breathe.In Lei Bicheng's indifferent eyes, it seemed that a cold ghost had jumped into Lan Tailing's body. In Gui Palace, Lei Bicheng said: "Princess, don't get angry. The censors are not stupid. They understand what the princess means, but someone else is threatening them. Ying Wuyi has a subordinate, Xie Xuan, who is in ' He is the number one person among the "Three Iron Horses of the Li Kingdom", and he has great experience in power tactics. When Ying Wuyi occupied Tianqi, he came forward to bribe many imperial ministers, and collected evidence of their misbehavior as a handle Holding hands. This time, the Qi Yushi's opinions are so unanimous, which is rare. If I guessed correctly, it was the result of Xie Xuan's private coercion." The eldest princess pondered for a while: "Ying Wuyi wants to save Xiyan? Why does Ying Wuyi want to save Xiyan? They are sworn enemies." "Enemies and allies are always changing. For example, I used to be Ying Wuyi's subordinate, but now I can take Ying Wuyi's head for the eldest princess. Besides, from the beginning to the end, Xi Yan did not take Ying Wuyi's head. Yi really regards him as his enemy. If Xi Yan didn't stop him, Bai Yi might be able to shoot and kill Ying Wuyi before Shangyang Pass." Lei Bicheng smiled faintly. "Has there ever been such a thing?" The eldest princess was taken aback. "It's absolutely true. The news was sent by my students who were in ambush in the Li Guo army. Not only Xi Yan didn't want to kill Ying Wuyi, but Bai Yi was also hesitant. Because they were all warriors who served in the lords, they couldn't come out to fight against the master. The eldest princess of the royal family. Ying Wuyi, a lion from Nanman, is the eldest princess's best enemy. As long as Ying Wuyi is still alive, it will be difficult for the eldest princess to realize her plan to subdue the princes." Lei Bicheng's words were profound, "Actually, in the eyes of Bai Yi and Xi Yan, the biggest enemy is none other than the royal family!" "Royal family?" The eldest princess was terrified, "I know that Bai Yi and Xi Yan have long been disobedient and want to use their military force to gain power in the vassal states, but do they really dare to point the finger at the royal family? Aren't they afraid of death?" "As General Yudianyue, Bai Yi has never made a pilgrimage to Tianqi for ten years. For him, the royal family is just a symbol, and Chu Weiguo is what he wants to be loyal to. If the royal family wants to subdue the princes, the first is to leave the country, and the second is Chu Weiguo. The territory of Chu and Wei merged into the king's domain, which Bai Yi did not want to see. And Xi Yan is the leader of Tianqi in Donglu today. Since the Fengyan Dynasty, Tianqi has been almost wiped out. Instigation. Does the eldest princess think he can not hate the royal family? Bai Yi and Xi Yan are both warriors, if the revival of the royal family threatens themselves, they will become unscrupulous thugs!" The eldest princess pondered for a long time, then nodded deeply: "Mr. Bicheng's words awaken the person in the dream! In this way, we can't let Xi Yan, a traitor, survive this test!" "The eldest princess is wise. Use the most vigorous and resolute means to order Yushitai to convict and execute immediately. Don't wait for spring." Lei Bicheng said in a stern voice, "Xi Yan is a terrible fox. If you live one more day, you will be one more!" Very dangerous!" "According to Mr. Bicheng's will!" The eldest princess nodded, "Ning Qing, go to Yushitai by yourself in the afternoon, and within three days, send the document of conviction to Nanhuai City, and ask Baili Jinghong to execute it immediately! If Xiyan is still alive within a few days... the censors should know the consequences!" "Princess Commander!" Ning Qing saluted solemnly. "Then Lei Bicheng will take his leave first, Your Majesty will be summoned in the afternoon, and I will come to pay respects to the Elder Princess tomorrow." Lei Bicheng got up. The moment he got up, the black-clothed servant in a corner of the palace also stood up. He had been half-kneeling there, leaning on a long knife, without moving an inch or making the slightest sound.When Lan Tailing walked into the palace, he didn't realize that there was such a person in the shadow of the corner of the palace. From a distance, it looked like a kneeling terracotta warrior. "Mr. Bicheng lost to me, but what kind of prize do you have to offer?" The eldest princess laughed. "For a person who is rich in the world, only the world can be her prize?" Lei Bicheng also laughed. He turned around and went straight out of the palace gate, the servants in black followed behind him, the iron armor under the black clothes jingling. It wasn't until the sound of the iron armor disappeared in the distance that Ning Qing turned to face the eldest princess and lowered her voice: "Eldest princess, Ning Qing has something to say, and I don't know if I should say it." "Speak, what can't you say? As long as you are obedient, I will listen to whatever you say." The eldest princess patted his head. "According to Mr. Bicheng's plan, the Barbarians and the Yu Clans will march into the Chun Kingdom and the Jinbei Kingdom respectively. When the strength of the two countries cannot be resisted, we will send the Jinwu Guard and the Yulin Heavenly Army to help, seize the opportunity to seize the two countries, and bring the territories of the princes into the king's domain. However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the strength of the Chun State and Jin Bei State, together with the imperial family's 20,000 light cavalry and 40,000 heavy crossbows, can indeed defeat the invading enemy. Otherwise, we will lose everything, barbarian iron cavalry and feather archers We will advance all the way to Tianqi City. And as long as the three kingdoms in the south of us unite to lock Shangyang Pass, they will be able to block the barbarians and Yu tribes and keep their own territory. At this time, we have no way to retreat," Ning Qing paused Suddenly, "Wangyu will become a place where barbarians ravage... Dayin will... perish!" "Yes, you are right at all." The eldest princess was not surprised at all, "Ning Qing, you never really believed Mr. Bicheng, did you?" Ning Qing pondered for a moment: "Ning Qing can't trust someone she doesn't know well." "Yeah, I also want to know why Mr. Bicheng came here and what he was thinking. But I don't know, maybe there are such demigods in the world, and it is impossible to figure out his heart with ordinary wisdom. , that usurped the supreme etiquette between heaven and earth." The eldest princess sighed lowly, "But I believe him, for such a person, the wealth and power of the world are not in his heart, he represents the will of God, I can't resist. Ning Qing, you don't know what happened to me these days, if you could see it, you would be happy for me. Come here, come here and touch my face." Ning Qing froze for a moment.He suddenly remembered that the eldest princess hadn't asked him to sleep with him for a long time, and he didn't have many chances to touch her skin.He knew that for this woman who was in her prime of life, unless she had a new love, it was not in her nature not to sleep with a man for so long.Realizing that something unbelievable had happened, he slowly stretched out his hand.The eldest princess held his hand and slowly pressed it against her cheek. The feeling from the fingers is like touching jade, touching silk, but jade is not so warm, and silk will not have that elasticity.The skin on that face seemed to have a magnetic force, and people couldn't bear to let go of it, as if they had touched some treasure in the world. "Congratulations to the eldest princess... Congratulations to the eldest princess!" Ning Qing's voice trembled slightly. This couldn't be the face of the eldest princess, that wrinkled face with dry skin.Over the years, after every bedtime, he always dipped a handkerchief with the juice squeezed out of fruits and vegetables to gently wipe the eldest princess's face.But she is old, a forty-year-old woman will never return to her twenty-year-old skin, decades of heavy makeup and the erosion of time itself, like a weathered stone, have carved an indelible mark on her face. texture.But the outline under that face, as well as that familiar aura, were undoubtedly the eldest princess herself. He was stroking the face of the eldest princess at the age of twenty!It was as if time had flown backwards. "Soon I will be sixteen years old. Sixteen years old is the most beautiful time in my life. Sixteen-year-old Bai Lingbo... Sixteen-year-old Bai Lingbo, no female family member of a public official can compare." The eldest princess took Ning Qing's hand and moved it on her cheek, kissing his palm lightly, as if whispering in a dream, "Ning Qing, I look at myself in the mirror, and I no longer doubt Mr. Bicheng's strength .Reversing time is a technique unique to God’s envoys! Who in the Kyushu can’t surrender to God?” Ning Qing nodded, sat beside her, and hugged her shoulders tightly. The eldest princess also hugged his head, pressed it to her heart, and gently stroked his hair: "Silly boy, why don't you talk? I won't leave you. I will be sixteen soon. Sixteen-year-old Bai Lingbo is the most beautiful woman in Kyushu. Standing with you, she is like a pair of immortals about to ascend. I will ask Mr. Bicheng to heal your eyes. Then you will be happy when you see me .” In the huge palace, a man and a woman embraced each other without speaking for a long time.The sunlight from outside the window shone in and shone on the eldest princess's face that was as clean as jade and as soft as a baby. It was almost transparent, and the soft blood under the skin could be clearly seen.She laughed, no longer the ferocity of an old woman, but the smile of a twenty-year-old woman with longing and dreams, her eyes were clear, like ripples on an autumn lake. Lei Bicheng walked to the main gate of the Gui Palace, stopped suddenly, and turned to look at the black-clothed servant: "You set off for Nanhuai immediately, and I will send you a document of conviction jointly signed by the seven censors by flying pigeons." , you get this document, immediately go to Baili Jinghong, and then personally execute Xi Yan. The time is set at night four days later, don't delay for a moment." "Don't you have to wait for a reply from Mr. Ning Qing?" the black-clothed servant asked. "You can't wait, and you can't underestimate the power of Tianqi ambushing in Tianqi City. When Yushitai sends out the conviction document, they will know immediately and will prepare to rescue Xiyan at any cost. Even if the imperial envoy rushes to Nanhuai with the conviction document, The situation may have completely changed. So, after you take a fake conviction document and execute Xiyan, the real conviction document will arrive, and there will be a difference of three to five days." "Student understands!" The black-clothed servant turned around and was about to leave. "Besides, even so, you may not be able to fight against Xi Yan's ambush in Nanhuai City, but you have been with me for twelve years, you can deal with mere celestial drives, just be careful." Lei Bi Cheng said behind his back, "Avenge your brother, don't show mercy."
