Chapter 163 Mixed
Zhuo Ran clenched her other hand: "You say that, it means that Empress Yu Jing has been eyeing my father for a long time, and so many people in the army just singled out him. This is not a coincidence."

Nie Hanshan raised his head slightly: "I am the one who knows the reason, Zhuo Siye should think about how to please me, let me tell these things."

"Didn't I just say that you have any conditions? Just mention it." Zhuo Ran glanced sideways at the bronze mirror, Nie Hanshan stretched out his hand while Zhuo Ran turned his head, Zhuo Ran wanted to turn sideways, Nie Hanshan directly Pulling the person to himself.

Zhuo Ran stretched her arms against the edge of the table and tried not to touch him. She stabilized her voice: "You should know that I already have my own heart. Doing this is not good for you or me. Don't you think it over again?"

"Look," Nie Hanshan brushed Zhuo Ran's cheek, and whispered in her ear, "You know I will do this, but Mr. Si Ye, I only like beautiful women with icy muscles and bones, not Si Ye. business like this."

"It's good that you understand." Zhuo Ran straightened up, looked at Nie Hanshan's smiling eyes, and said softly, "The so-called icy muscles and jade bones are like an existence that emerges from the mud but not stained with heaven, since I have fallen into hell , struggling in this chaotic world, I have long been unworthy of the nobility and elegance you said. So, you should stop this idea as soon as possible. "

Nie Hanshan raised the corners of his lips: "Then let me think about it, what else can be used as a bargaining chip?"

Zhuo Ran said softly: "You are already very powerful, and you don't need any valuables. You have power and money, what else do you want?"

"Zhuo Siye's words are different." Nie Hanshan blocked Zhuo Ran's hand, looked at the bronze mirror for a moment and said, "Money and rights are the most useless things in the world, and the most rare thing is people's hearts."

Zhuo Ran rubbed some blush with her fingertips, wiped away the bright red, and looked sideways at Nie Hanshan: "People's hearts are not ancient, and you can't completely trust people's hearts. However, sometimes you still have to keep a little trust. Now That's good, you don't mean to do anything to me."

Nie Hanshan smiled: "Zhuo Siye is really different."

"You're not the only one who said this, let's put it another way." Zhuo Ran dazed and dazed for a moment before applying the lip balm on his lips. Nie Hanshan found that the other person's eyes were full of tenderness, so Zhuo Ran withdrew his hand, feeling a little strange.

This look inexplicably resembles the way Li Yanchuan looked at her.

But Nie Hanshan was not looking at her.

"I haven't touched these for many years, so it's really strange." Zhuo Ran wiped off the things on his hands with downcast eyes, "You still haven't said what you want, so can I ask for what I want to know now? ?”

Nie Hanshan smiled slightly at the bronze mirror: "I will talk to Zhuo Siye about my request in the future. As an equivalent return, I can tell you the story of Emperor Nanhuan's time."

Zhuo Ran raised her eyes, and Nie Hanshan leaned on the table, and said, "Empress Yu Jing was born in the ancient Qiang. She was originally a princess from the ten tribes of the ancient Qiang. Empress Yu Jing who entered the battlefield, Empress Yu Jing ordered Ai Xin to be summoned, and she immediately fell in love with Emperor Nan Huan, and finally became Empress Yu Jing."

Zhuo Ran had never heard of these things before, she shook her head in disbelief, but Nie Hanshan said: "I know you don't believe it, but don't rush to accept it. Emperor Nanhuan concealed the identity of Empress Yu Jing, and let everyone Everyone believed that this woman was the one loved by Emperor Nanhuan. You also know that the ten tribes of the ancient Qiang had no tendency to merge at that time, and they didn't care about the loss of the princess at all, so it dragged on for several years. I don't know who leaked the news. The identity of Empress Yu Jing was exposed, but Empress Yu Jing had already given birth to a prince. At that time, Gu Qiang wanted Emperor Nanhuan to sign an agreement with them. Emperor Huan agreed, but the ancient Qiang people did not abide by the agreement, and in just half a month, they had the idea of ​​attacking the imperial city again."

"Didn't Empress Yu Jing come forward to stop it?" Zhuo Ran frowned, "She is the princess of Gu Qiang, and these things are inseparable from her. In fact, Emperor Nanhuan was also at fault, why did he hide it from Empress Yu Jing?" As for identity, wouldn’t there be so many things if I said it straight at the time?”

Nie Hanshan smiled: "Zhuo Siye's thinking was too simple. The situation was very critical at that time. There were rebellious ministers inside and the ancient Qiang provoking troubles outside. It is impossible to balance it, so the Nanhuan period will eventually be ruled by others. Buried. Besides, Gu Qiang's desire to win Zhongqu was not a whim, it was a long-cherished wish."

Zhuo Ran snorted lightly, and said, "Even if Empress Yu Jing is from the ancient Qiang people, then my father is from the Middle Song, how could he have anything to do with her?"

"Zhuo Siye, be safe and don't be impatient." Nie Hanshan said, "No one can guess what Empress Yu Jing is thinking. I just heard some leftovers."

"Small leftovers?" Zhuo Ran frowned, holding back her anger and said, "That's just a rumor, rumor that you dare to make a deal with me here?"

Nie Hanshan gave a "tsk" and said, "Most things in this world are rumors, such as Zhuo Siye's death, for example, you are Nanxiang..."

Zhuo Ran collected her expression, turned her head away with a sneer.Nie Hanshan said: "Listen to me, Zhuo Siye. Before Zhuo Ting became a great general to protect the country, his achievements in the army were also very prominent. I heard that General Zhuo Ting was one of them when he fought against the ancient Qiang people. At that time, he stayed with Gu Qiang as a prisoner of war for a long time, so he should know the matter of Empress Yu Jing well, so this is not irrelevant. It is not unreasonable for Empress Yu Jing to entrust you to Zhuo Ting."

Zhuo Ran sighed: "I knew there was nothing wrong with it in this world, and Emperor Nanhuan did not blame Empress Yu Jing for all the crimes, which is considered the most benevolent."

"That's all I know." Nie Hanshan looked at her, "Zhuo Siye wants to investigate the matter of the Luxi battle, so he will inevitably have to deal with Gu Qiang, but this time is waiting for no one, I can help you win Yongzhou, and the rest I can't help you anymore."

Zhuo Ran lowered her eyes: "Why help me?"

"In the future, Zhuo Siye will definitely return this favor, but don't worry, I won't let you sacrifice yourself. When the time is right, I will tell Zhuo Siye what I want." Nie Hanshan looked at Zhuo Ran and smiled slightly.

"I like today's makeup very much." Nie Hanshan stretched out his finger to untie the development belt, and he looked sideways at Zhuo Ran, "Zhuo Siye can go around here, but it's best not to say anything outside, otherwise I won't easily Let Zhuo Siye go."

Zhuo Ran stood up: "No one can threaten me like this."

Nie Hanshan said casually, "I am willing to be No.1."

***
Zhuo Ran glanced at Li Yuchuan, then quickly looked away, but Zhou Yu kept frowning, worried that Zhuo Ran was seeking skin from a tiger, but after thinking about it, Zhuo Ran had no choice but to agree to Nie Hanshan's request, after all, these things are rare Few people know.

Empress Yu Jing's past is buried so deeply, Zhuo Ran wants to seal up all the past and never mention it again.She had a hunch that if she continued to investigate, there would only be more things that would overwhelm her.Is there really no other way to find out about the Battle of Luxi?
Zhuo Ran sighed silently, Li Yuchuan sat beside Zhuo Ran, and secretly stretched out his hand to pinch Zhuo Ran's wrist. Wei Xun could see clearly behind Zhuo Ran, but knew it was inappropriate to say anything at this time.

Li Xunchuan scratched the back of Zhuo Ran's hand, interlocked his fingers with her, and lay on Zhuo Ran's lap for a long time.Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "I don't know much about these things, but since Ran'er has agreed to Nie Hanshan, and he is willing to help you win Yongzhou, then we will go to the end without hesitation, and don't talk about giving up."

While Zhuo Ran responded, she was still thinking about how to tell Li Xunchuan to go back to Beili as soon as possible.In fact, seeing Nie Hanshan this time, she found that she could only deal with some things, and there was no danger as imagined. Li Yuchuan really shouldn't delay any longer.

Seeing that Zhuo Ran didn't speak for a while, Zhou Yu thought she had some other ideas, and was about to ask, when he heard Wu Song knock on the door, sounding more urgent.Li Xunchuan nodded, and Xiong Zhenghao went to open the door.

Wu Song was so anxious that he was about to cry, and ran to Li Yuchuan, sobbing constantly, Xiong Zhenghao frowned: "What happened to the pine nuts, don't cry, just explain it clearly."

Wu Song handed the secret letter in his hand to Li Yanchuan, and said in a trembling voice: "Beili sent back the news that the prince led people to encounter the Xianling tribe in Cangshan, and Agamula attacked the prince. The prince...he..."

Li Xunchuan stood up abruptly, he looked down at the handwriting carefully, there was no doubt that it was written by Li Junyi himself.Li Xunchuan looked dignified, the kind of inextricable gloom replaced the kindness he had temporarily, Zhuo Ran stood up while supporting the table, but Zhou Yu held him back when he wanted to say something.

Li Xunchuan frowned tightly: "Aghmura hasn't appeared for a long time, what is the purpose of attacking Beili at this time?"

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Perhaps the news of Dayu reached the ancient Qiang. The war between Beili and the ten tribes of the ancient Qiang was slow and tense. The civil strife in Dayu was the best time for them. The three states of Yongxintu were not safe. Ran'er needs to speed up, otherwise, once this side is occupied, Beili will only be in trouble."

Zhuo Ran looked at Li Yuchuan, and said softly, "Master Hou, go back."

Li Xunchuan clenched his fingers, looked back at Zhuo Ran, touched his lips lightly, but said nothing.Wu Song raised his sleeve to wipe his tears, Xiong Zhenghao looked at Li Xunchuan, waiting for his order.

"Senior," Li Yanchuan said to Zhou Yu after a moment's hesitation, "I must go back to Beili now. I will still be the same as before. I will help Xiaqiu take down these ancient Qiang people."

Zhou Yu didn't understand the meaning of what Li Xunchuan said. He couldn't help but follow Li Xunchuan's eyes to look at Zhuo Ran, but Zhuo Ran kept his head down, took a long time to take a step forward, and raised his eyes to look at Li Xunchuan.

"Senior, I have some things I want to talk to Xiaqiu alone." Li Yanchuan said, Zhou Yu originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that the relationship between Li Yanchuan and Zhuo Ran is not very good, he probably only talked about Gu Qiang, and Li Yanchuan It was very awkward and strange, so he nodded without thinking too much.

Li Xunchuan turned around: "Let the imperial army rectify and set off later."

Xiong Zhenghao nodded heavily, dragged Wu Song and ran out.Zhou Yu clasped Chang Yinyu's hand, frowned and said, "Since Lord Hou is planning to leave early, I'll go and prepare something for Lord Hou. To make a long story short, Lord Hou should not delay the hour."

Chang Yinyu deliberately took a step back, winked at Zhuo Ran, and pulled Wei Xun away with the other hand.Seeing that everyone had retreated, Li Xunchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and held on to the table to stabilize his figure.

"Chi Yue..." Zhuo Ran touched his arm, "I haven't finished talking just now, what happened to my lord?"

Li Xunchuan closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Aghmura personally went to the battlefield and seriously injured my brother-in-law. The tribes that were originally scattered all returned to the first zero. My brother-in-law lost, and they are almost retreating to the big border."

"What?" Zhuo Ran shook his head, "Aghmura is so old, he has been dormant for so many years, yet he can still be so brave and good at fighting?"

Li Xunchuan clenched his lower lip: "Sure enough, Gu Qiang has never given up the idea of ​​capturing Beili. Whether it's because of the battle at Chuxi, or the personal grievances between Beili and Gu Qiang, Agamula will never escape this time. "

"Zhang Yue..." Zhuo Ran straightened him up, "Listen to me, go back and find out the situation first, the prince seriously injured Beili and must have another person to take care of the overall situation, you have to go back, and you have to vent your anger on the prince's behalf."

Li Xunchuan looked down at Zhuo Ran: "I'm also worried about the ancient Qiang people in Yongxin Tu Sanzhou and these bandits. Even if Nie Hanshan promised you to take Yongzhou for you, it would be necessary to use violence to control violence. You have to protect yourself no matter what, and you must not be brave."

"I won't let myself get hurt." Zhuo Ran stroked his brow bone, "Chi Yue, you have to trust me, and I also believe that you can help Beili get through this difficult time. I have told Wei Xun to call the nearby Zisha Hall gathered here, I will guard here for you, and I will not give them any chance. You also have to protect yourself and take care of Beili affairs."

Li Xunchuan grabbed her hand, Zhuo Ran stood on tiptoe and hugged him: "Chi Yue, let's go."

Li Xunchuan buried herself in the crook of her neck and let out a heavy "hmm".

Li Xunchuan's orders were issued in a hurry, and the forbidden army was orderly and majestic. Xiong Zhenghao gathered everyone together as quickly as possible, and at this moment they lined up in a line winding like a snake, especially in such a situation that everyone couldn't help but feel depressed.

The sky is gloomy and heavy, and it makes people feel uncomfortable to see it like stains.Wu Song was thrown to Zhuo Ran's side by Li Xunchuan again, and Xiong Zhenghao had comforted him for a while just now, Wu Song could only watch helplessly as Li Xunchuan got on his horse, and Xiong Zhenghao led the people Galloping away from the official road in a mighty way.

Zhou Yu was worried, and asked Chang Yinyu to follow Zhuo Ran out to send Li Yuchuan off.Chang Yinyu folded his arms and looked at Zhuo Ran: "Junior Sister, I think this matter is strange."

"Where is the strangeness?" Zhuo Ran never left Li Yanchuan's eyes, and saw that his back was getting smaller and farther away, but Zhuo Ran could recognize Li Yanchuan no matter what, she picked up the sense of loneliness that was born spontaneously, It took a while to reply to Chang Yinyu's words.

It's really an instant.Zhuo Ran didn't have time to talk to Li Yanchuan, and Li Yanchuan didn't say when he would come back. Without Li Yanchuan's promise, she always felt empty in her heart.

"Let's not talk about the authenticity of this letter." Chang Yinyu pulled Zhuo Ran's arm to bring him back to his senses, and then said, "No one would dare to make fun of Beili just because of his status as Lord Hou. To be more careful, Beili Li Wang and Hou Ye and his master are not superficial people. They will naturally know how to plan ahead. How could they be attacked so badly after being suddenly attacked? What does it mean to be severely injured? Is Bei Li Wang so weak? And ah , even if they know that Lord Hou betrayed Gaodu, they should also think that Lord Hou will need time to adapt when he goes back now, why do I think this is a game?"

"I don't have time to think about this right now." Zhuo Ran recovered without listening to a few words, she looked at Chang Yinyu, "We don't care about Beili for now, I want to tell you about Yongzhou."

Chang Yinyu raised his eyebrows: "Shouldn't you go to Wei Xun?"

"What do you mean by that? You don't want to follow me?" Zhuo Ran frowned, "You are the one my master gave me. Only I can decide whether you will stay or not. Chang Yinyu, if you are not in Gaodu now, don't even think about it." Do whatever you want."

"Are you so hot-tempered after Li Yuchuan left?" Chang Yinyu shook his head in disbelief, "But little junior sister, I only recognize one sentence, that is, I am the one left to you by the master."

Zhuo Ran snorted softly, "You just need to remember."

Chang Yinyu turned over the hood on Zhuo Ran's cloak, took Zhuo Ran's arm and took two steps forward: "Okay, I'm not being talkative anymore, tell me what you need to tell me?"

"I didn't say everything just now," Zhuo Ran walked side by side with him, "The way Nie Hanshan helped us take Yongzhou was to reach an agreement with the ancient Qiang people. You also know that most of the people in Yongzhou are ancient Qiang people, and they all It is unarmed, and it is really easy for us to take people down."

But Zhuo Ran didn't intend to do it himself.

Chang Yinyu frowned slightly: "Nie Hanshan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, do you think this is feasible for you?"

Zhuo Ran turned her eyes and said, "If you doubt anything, come with me."

Chang Yinyu stopped, Zhuo Ran hooked his lips, and rode two horses with him to chase Li Yuchuan northward.Zhuo Ran had lingering fears about riding a horse before, but Chang Yinyu found that Zhuo Ran could overcome anything when he was serious.

"What kind of medicine do you sell in this gourd?" Chang Yinyu asked after Zhuo Ran.

The robes were blown up by the wind, flowing and messy, and the wind after winter brought chills, making it even cooler when riding horses. This is the winter in Yongzhou.Chang Yinyu felt his cheeks were icy cold, Zhuo Ran didn't answer, but just silently chased after her.Chang Yinyu thought for a long time, but he didn't know what Zhuo Ran wanted to do, but after running for a while, he heard some strange voices coming from a distance.

Zhuo Ran tightened the reins suddenly, and Chang Yinyu followed Zhuo Ran to stop.Zhuo Ran frowned and looked in front of him. Chang Yin was stunned there, and found that the forbidden army had all stopped in front. Li Xunchuan and Xiong Zhenghao were very conspicuous among them, and everyone looked at one place without moving.

Chang Yinyu raised his neck: "What is this for, the official way is not enough for them to escape?"

Zhuo Ran sneered, "Hmph, I knew it wasn't that simple."

Only then did Chang Yinyu see clearly the people standing in front of Li Xunchuan and Xiong Zhenghao.She was dressed in a sky-blue gradient robe, and her face was too far away to see her face, but her long hair blown by the wind only added a touch of color, just like Fang Chuchen's fairy.

"Which angel stopped Hou Ye?"

"Heavenly Immortal?" Zhuo Ran said in a low voice, "You have such a low standard for an immortal? That's...Nie Hanshan."
