Chapter 144

Under Yun Xi's disguise, the image of "the regent favoring only the concubine's messy political affairs" was quickly established in Yunzhong City.

To be honest, Xiao Yezi has known Yunxi for so long, and always thought that Yunxi was a gentle and arrogant character, but what she didn't expect was that this guy could be so... so coquettish if he really acted.Compared with Yang Yizhao, he is really even worse.Gentle and affectionate, domineering and arrogant, romantic, and omnipotent.This is probably the legend - one person with thousands of faces?

She didn't know what he was thinking, but she knew that he would make her face blush every day.

Wherever he went, he would take her with him, hug her, and pamper her, as if he couldn't live without her.The training ground, the main general's camp, the city gate tower... there is no place where he can't act.

She also hid it very well, just pretending to be weak and weak, laughing and beating him.He also responded with a kiss, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he kept talking nonsense.

Gradually, he stopped patrolling the city, and he didn't supervise the military exercises of the gang, and he didn't even mention the matter of attacking Yanjin to conquer the lost land. He just spent a lot of military expenses every day, holding Xiao Yezi in the tent Drinking and having fun, singing and dancing.Even in the middle of the night, from time to time, unsavory words flowed out of the tent, making people blush.

Everyone said that the gang leader had changed his sex, some despised, some disdained, and some were puzzled.

Loyal people like Cheng Che and Tang Ying sighed to themselves, but they were helpless.

What's more, it's like Qiu Yishui and Shen Yelai, wishing to rush into the dormitory and scold Xiao Yezi face-to-face for harming the country and messing up the government, and being promiscuous.

Yun Xi, however, ignored this and continued to act recklessly, despite the constant murmurs in the army.

One morning, Xue Yang came to Yunzhong City with a pale complexion and asked to see the regent with a pile of important memorials that had been accumulated for a long time.

However, after waiting all morning, what came was Xiao Yezi's message: "My lord is tired today, please come back tomorrow, King Xue."

Everyone looked at Xue Yang, Xue Yang broke out on the spot, drew out his long knife and broke into the tent, angrily said: "Floods in the south of the Yangtze River again, money and food are in short supply, the people are in dire straits, yet the regent doesn't care about it, and he is still enjoying himself here, isn't it? Make the people feel cold!"

Yun Xi, who smelled of alcohol, was sitting on the couch with a few wine bottles poured in front of him, obviously drinking a lot just now.He was holding Xiao Yezi in his arms, leaning on the cushion, staring at Xue Yang coldly with a pair of black eyes, and raised his finger to draw a long stroke in the air, lazily but with a cold voice: "It's just a mere flood, a little In the future, I will end myself. Xue Tianwang is pleading for the people, and his loyalty is commendable, but it is too much to enter the account with a knife, is it possible that he wants to rebel?"

Xue Yang snorted: "In his position, Xue Yang is really dissatisfied if he doesn't seek his own government!"

Seeing that he still refused to restrain himself, Yun Xi gradually gathered a cold light in his eyes, obviously getting more and more angry.He said coldly: "Do you know what crime should be for contradicting the commander in chief?"

Xue Yang's family has been loyal for generations, and they have always relied on their status. This time, seeing Yun Xi taking the blame for no reason, they also refused to back down in the slightest: "I, Xue Yang, only recognize the Lord. A person like you who neglects state affairs like you is not worthy of serving in our country. Commander! It is better to take Zhaoyin and surrender to Yanjin as soon as possible to avoid trouble!"

Yun Xi didn't seem to have expected that Xue Yang would dare to speak disrespect repeatedly, and immediately became angry, pushed Xiao Yezi away, turned over and sat up, threw the wine glass in his hand, and shouted angrily: "This king only drank a few glasses of wine. , watching some songs and dances, you are just talking nonsense here. There is no doubt in the army and the commander, have you forgotten? Now I am about to send troops to the north, and you don't think about how to attack, but say the words of surrender, isn't it a neglect of the army! Come on! People, drag me out, punish a hundred army sticks, and bring them to justice!"

Cheng Che and others heard the commotion in the tent, and they had already gathered outside the tent.Now hearing Yunxi's fury, Cheng Che and the others hurried forward, prostrating to the ground one by one, and persuaded each other: "King Xue Tian also wholeheartedly serves the country, but he just speaks out loud and offends the leader. Please also read the help of the leader who has been guarding the city for many years." Merit, let him off this time."

Yun Xi snorted coldly and said: "According to what you mean, anyone who has meritorious service can enter without telling the truth, speak out with a knife, and disrespect the commander? If everyone under my tent is like this, how can I have the majesty of the regent? In this cloud What is the city's military law? It's really stupid!"

The military law in Yunzhong City is as high as the sky. Hearing Yun Xi's reprimand in this regard, Cheng Che and others looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say to plead for Xue Yang.

But Xue Yang saw someone came to persuade him, and he said loudly: "My Xue family has been loyal for generations. When I made meritorious service, you were still in your infancy. You yellow-mouthed child, how dare you insult me!"

When Yun Xi heard this, she became even more angry, and overturned the table on the couch, and then ignored the persuasion of the people around her, and ordered: "It is the rule for civil servants to remonstrate to death, and military officials to fight to death! Why, is it a joke to treat it as a military order?"

Some personal soldiers came up earlier and pushed Xue Yang to the ground.Although Xue Yang was pushed to the ground, his expression was still dissatisfied, and he continued to chatter.

Yun Xi said coldly: "Drag it out, and take heavy responsibility in the school training ground. Tell the generals, if anyone dares to disrespect the commander again, they will do so!"

Heavy responsibility in the school training ground, that is public execution, it will break Xue Tianwang's spirit.Seeing that the respected King Xue Tian was being punished, everyone dared to speak again.Yun Xi moved to the school training ground, imprisoned him personally, and didn't pay back until the hundred army sticks were beaten.Seeing that Yunxi was present in person, the executioner didn't dare to keep his hand, and fought with all his might.Although Xue Yang has fought in the battlefield for many years, he is old and his health is exhausted after all.After the hundred army sticks were beaten, Xue Yang passed out.Everyone felt sorry for Xue Yang's suffering, and hurriedly carried Xue Yang back to the guest tent.After resting for two or three hours, Xue Yang woke up leisurely.Everyone was afraid that Xue Yang would suffer from depression in his old age, so they relieved them one after another.Xue Yang didn't speak, just sighed.Seeing that they could not be persuaded, they had to disperse.

It was late at night at this time, Xue Yang looked at the starry sky outside the tent, thinking of the crime he suffered today, he was angry and annoyed.

"Sigh, I never expected that I, Xue Yang, would devote my whole life to being loyal and hardworking, but when I grow old, I would be humiliated in public by this yellow-mouthed kid. It's really... Sigh..."

Seeing her father being beaten into such a mess, Xue Yue was also sad, and couldn't help weeping beside the bed: "Father, don't be sad, everything may still get better."

"How can it be better? I think I, Xue Yang, have made great achievements in the war. I should not be subdued by others, but the court listened to the slander and appointed him as the head of the gang. Sigh, I should have supported him as the regent in the first place. Wang, I can't think of the troubles of raising tigers. Now that I am old and old, I have become a laughing stock, which is really embarrassing. Oh, it's hard to meet the wise master, it's hard to meet the wise master!"

Suddenly a man with a hood came into the tent like a breeze, and said with a low laugh: "General Xue, don't blame yourself, in fact, the Lord of the Ming Dynasty is right in front of you, it's just that you are blind."

"Who?" Xue Yue drew out the saber from her waist and stood in front of her father.

The visitor took off his hood and smiled lightly: "It's me, General Xue."

"Why did the concubine come here late at night?" Xue Yue asked in surprise.

Xiao Ye Zi smiled and said: "Sister Xue, don't be surprised. I always respect the old general, and this time I saw the old general suffering innocently, so I came here to visit."

Xue Yang's eyes moved, and he sighed: "Princess Lao is concerned, Xue Yang is making fun of himself, and dare not claim to be innocent. I can bear this little injury. Please return the princess."

Xiao Ye Zi smiled and said: "It seems that General Xue thought that Xiao Ye Zi was here to make fun of you. Even if Xiao Ye Zi was given a hundred courage, Xiao Ye Zi would not dare to make fun of General Xue. The old general refused to speak out in front of me. Because of my status as a princess. In fact, the old general should have heard about it. When I was in Lingyan, Xiao Yunxi forcibly insulted me. I managed to get out of the clutches of the devil, but he refused to let me go. In the name of the princess, I was once again imprisoned by his side. I face him every day, as if I am in hell, and I only hate that I am not strong enough to kill him. From this point of view, Xiao Yezi and General Xue also You can be regarded as a comrade-in-arms in a camp."

Xue Yang snorted: "If you have something to say, you might as well speak it straight, without going around in circles."

Xiao Yezi smiled: "The old general speaks quickly, so I won't go around in circles. I came here this time to point the way for the old general."

"What is Minglu?" Xue Yang was startled.

Xiao Ye Zi smiled lightly: "Has the general ever considered cooperating with Prince Wanyan?"

Xue Yang snorted: "Although Xue Yang is not very talented, he has also learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius deeply, and knows the truth that a loyal minister should not serve two masters. As a minister of Zhaoyin, how can he commit himself to the enemy's country?"

"The old general's words are wrong. I am from Zhaoyin, so how can I not speak for Zhaoyin people? Don't I want my mother country to be strong and the people to live and work in peace and contentment?" Little Yezi said earnestly, "Now Zhaoyin is being ruled by Queen Mother Zhen, People like Xiao Yunxi are in control, using the excuse of restoring the country, thinking about expanding the territory all day long, but they are really putting the people of Zhaoyin in dire straits. If this continues for a long time, Zhaoyin will be destroyed by their hands sooner or later. In such a situation, How can the old general sit idly by?"

"These words are reasonable. Hey, I only hate my lack of ability." Xue Yang sighed.

"Since the old general has such a heart, I would like to connect with him and seek help for the old general." Xiao Yezi smiled.

Xue Yang refused: "Zhaoyin and Yanjin have been fighting against each other for many years, and the situation is like fire and water... If Xue Yang joins hands with Yanjin, wouldn't he be ashamed of Zhaoyin's tens of thousands of people? It is absolutely impossible."

Xiao Ye Zi sighed, and said kindly, "The old general has always been loyal and reasonable, why is he so pedantic today? Could it be that the old general would rather be foolish, loyal and foolish, and leave me in the flames of war? The little girl has nothing else to do this time. Please, I only hope that the loyal people like the old general can stop fighting and turn into martial arts, and save my people first. Prince Wanyan also asked me to tell the old general that Yanjin has already controlled most of the money and food in the north, just because of the recent Tuatar Constantly harassing, Prince Wanyan's military strength is exhausted, and iron and gunpowder are scarce, which is why he continues to invade the south. As long as Zhaoyin is willing to give some assistance to help Yanjin resist Tuotar, Yanjin is willing to exchange money and food. In this way, Zhaoyin does not have to worry about money and food. Worrying about things, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Why bother to fight and fight for the emptiness of the border? Yan Jin's only request is to kill Xiao Yunxi and suppress the war-seeking faction. As long as Xiao Yunxi is killed, Yan Jin will take care of himself Withdrawing troops is a long-term alliance with Zhaoyin."

Xue Yang said solemnly: "Since ancient times, good generals have been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and Xue Yang is not immune to the vulgarity. There is no need for the princess to say more, please go back."

Xiao Ye Zi sighed: "Since the old general is unwell, the little girl should leave first. I just ask the old general to think again for the well-being of Zhaoyin's people."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ye Zi put on her hood again and disappeared into the night outside the tent.

Xue Yang watched Xiao Yezi leave, and a little tiredness and unwillingness appeared on his solemn face just now.

Xue Yue stepped forward and asked, "Father is worried about what the princess said?"

Xue Yang pondered and said: "What she said just now is really interesting. It's just that I don't know whether she is really Wanyan's school or Xiao Yunxi sent me to test it."

Xue Yue reported: "Yue'er once inquired, before marrying the Regent Princess Xiao Yezi, she was indeed in love with Yang Yizhao, the former head of the Liren Pavilion, and the two had a marriage alliance. It is the person who turned around and passed on the regent for the power. Moreover, the court promised the regent at the beginning to be the princess of the court. It is quite surprising that this marriage suddenly changed into a little leaf. The coercion and temptation of power made him commit himself to the regent. And Xiao Yezi did go to Yanjin territory a while ago, and also had a meeting with Wanyan Mie. Being able to retreat from Wanyan Mie's place has always won his trust. I think Xiao Yezi's coming to deal with us this time, is somewhat credible."

Xue Yang hummed: "Since that's the case... It's not impossible to consider her proposal. I have always stood firm in Yunzhong City for the sake of Zhaoyin and peace and well-being. This Xiao Yunxi is self-willed and blindly seeking war. I don't know. Now that we are at odds with him, we may not be able to stay in this cloud city. But with our power in Zhaoyin, we really can't defeat the main faction. It's better to abandon this false name, It is the best strategy to capture the thief first. Yue'er, are you willing to advance and retreat with your father?"

"Father, since you have made your decision, Yue'er will follow...it's just Li Li, hey, Yue'er is really in trouble." Xue Yue sighed.

"Li Li has always been soft and not hard. Let's not talk to him for the time being. After the things are done in the future, you can slowly influence him. After all, what we do is for Zhaoyin's well-being. He is also a sensible person, so he will understand." Xue Yang said, "In this case, tomorrow you will go to find the princess and see if she has a way to contact Wanyan Mie for us. This is a serious matter, and my father is inconvenient. Take my letter and go to meet him face to face."

Xue Yue nodded: "So, I will contact the princess tomorrow and discuss with her how to meet Wanyan Mie."

Xue Yang said: "Hey, if you can really get rid of the serious troubles in your heart, it will be very good... If you are tired of being a father, you can go."

Xue Yue covered the quilt for her father and tidied up the sundries in the room before she bowed and left.When she walked into the atrium, she felt the wind behind her. When she looked back, she saw a black figure running behind the tent. It was obvious that someone was listening to her father and daughter outside the tent.

Xue Yue stared at the place where the black shadow disappeared, smiled coldly, and said in her heart: let you go today, and wait for the big battle in the future to settle the case together.
