Chapter 198

Before entering the big tent, I heard a coughing sound.

A strong medicinal fragrance immediately rushed towards me, I sniffed, and looked into the spacious tent——

The light here is not very good, only the four windows on both sides let in a few rays of light, and a lot of dust can be vaguely seen flying. In the center of the big tent is a long passage, and at the end of the passage is a large desk. , with a mountain of memorials and documents piled up on it, a man was looking at something at his desk, covering his mouth with one hand, coughing gently.

At one end of the desk, there is a medicine pot on a small stove, which is boiling medicine, and the strong fragrance of medicine is emitted from there.

As soon as I walked in, someone came forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Yongjia has arrived."

The man slowly raised his head and looked at me.

The moment I met those pitch-black pupils, I didn't know if it was my illusion, but what I felt was a sense of death.

The man in front of him has profound facial features that people in the Central Plains do not have. He is handsome with a bit of a monster, and his high nose bridge makes people see his strong and unyielding character at a glance, but this handsome face is too pale. , only a little sickly red from coughing, and even the sharp-edged lips have no blood.

he is sick?

I walked over slowly, but saw a bowl in his hand, which was filled with amber wine.

"Empress Yongjia?"

"I have seen the White Tiger Emperor."

Xi Yumen raised his head, looked me up and down, and said in a low voice: "It's really unexpected that after nine years, you will become the Empress Dowager Yongjia of Qinglong Kingdom."

I smiled faintly: "Emperor Baihu is above ten thousand people and enjoys the glory of the world, so of course he understands the meaning of the four words impermanence in the world."

"Everything is impermanent..."

A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, he didn't say anything, but waved his sleeves, pointing to the other side in front of his desk: "Please sit down."

It seemed that he didn't intend to meet me with a national ceremony, but this was exactly what he wanted. I didn't come here for "national affairs". Meeting with the common etiquette of people from the Western Regions just happened to give me a chance to have a private conversation with him.

So, I walked over slowly, kneeling and sitting in front of the desk like him.

"I know that the Empress Dowager Yongjia will not leave Qinglong Kingdom easily, and come to Longhu Gorge from a long distance, why not get straight to the point. Why did you come, Qinglong Kingdom? Or Xuanyuan Kingdom?"

My eyes shone brightly, and I said: "Worthy of being the White Tiger Emperor, the White Tiger Emperor has marched across thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with such arrogance, but it is still the same as before."

"Zongbing thousands of miles down the river and mountains?" He sneered: "Isn't it the same as being deflated outside Fengxiang City?"

My heart moved, and his eyes were already looking at me: "I saw that you were different in Guigu back then. There are very few princes and princesses in the Central Plains who can match you. I didn't expect that you only used a short In half a day, the siege of Fengxiang was solved. I really shouldn't underestimate that city."

It turned out that the poisonous insects in Fengxiang City were what he meant.

Thinking of the mountains of corpses and the depressing death in the city, the last bit of guilt in my heart disappeared. I watched the man in front of me pick up the wine bowl and drink heavily, and then coughed violently, until his cheeks were flushed. , Even the eyes are a little red.

I glanced at the medicine stove next to me: "Emperor Baihu, what's wrong with you? Can you still drink?"

"So what if you can't drink it?" He sneered: "Life is already unsatisfactory, why do you want to make yourself unhappy?"

After finishing speaking, he picked up the wine jar on the ground and poured a bowl of wine, and drank it down with his head up—it seemed that he was really seriously ill, but he still acted so capriciously. Obviously, his personality was impulsive and irritable, And he is a self-willed and self-willed person.

I feel more at peace.

"Why does the White Tiger Emperor have to be so self-pitying? My palace was expelled from the Xuanyuan royal family at the beginning, and there was no place for it in the four seas. Didn't it survive now? What's more, the first hero of the White Tiger Emperor will not be trapped by a small city. Even if your people suffered in Fengxiang back then, wouldn’t you be able to get it back ten times as much now?”

Xi Yumen froze when she lowered her head to pour the wine, then slowly raised her head and looked at me with wide eyes.

"Recovered ten times? What do you mean?"

"Didn't Emperor Baihu say to get straight to the point?" I laughed and said, "Fengxiang City has already been captured, so there's nothing to hide about it."

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the wine jar fall heavily on the desk with a bang, causing the paperwork on the desk to be scattered, and his face was full of shock.

In my sleeves, I slowly clenched my fists.

The big tent fell into silence, and after a long time, I heard Xi Yumen say: "Fengxiang City has been captured?"

"Why, doesn't the White Tiger Emperor know?"

I pretended to be exaggeratedly shocked, looked at him, and suddenly smiled again: "By the way, I actually forgot that it was the Xuantie Army of the Shui family who captured Fengxiang City, and it's not surprising that the White Tiger Emperor didn't know the inside story. "

Xi Yumen's face suddenly became ugly: "What do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting," I smiled leisurely, "The Shui family is loyal to the White Tiger Kingdom, so of course they won't make their own claims and keep it for themselves. After all, you are the one who pays for the war preparations, so how can you do such a crime? "

"..."

"It's just—"

I changed the subject, and my eyes were bright: "If there is a fierce tiger around me, which can hunt and prey, I will definitely tie the chain tightly. You must know that no one can hurt a tiger, but a tiger can eat people's hearts. If one day raising a tiger becomes a problem, and he bites back, it will be fatal."

Xi Yumen trembled all over, looked at me silently for a long time, and suddenly said sharply: "Xuanyuan Xingsi, how dare you want to provoke the relationship between my monarch and his ministers? The three generations of the Shui family are generals, and they are not loyal to me. Two, you are a minister who relies heavily on me, how could it be possible to raise a tiger to cause trouble. If you talk nonsense again, I will not spare you!"

I smiled coldly: "I didn't expect Emperor Bai Hu to be such a self-willed and self-willed person. It seems that this palace has offered the wrong kindness. Since this is the case, I have nothing to say. I just wait for you, Emperor Baihu, to become the head of the Murong Dynasty." Rejuvenation hero."

After speaking, I stood up and walked away.

But just as I took a step, Xi Yumen's voice came from behind: "Stop!"

I stopped.

"The hero of the revival of the Murong Dynasty?" He looked at me for a long time with a livid face, and suddenly said: "What is the Murong Dynasty, what is the hero of the revival, please tell me clearly!"

"What can I say?" I sneered and turned my back to him without even turning my head: "You can be regarded as the number one figure in the Central Plains, and you are all over the world, but you have never been able to marry the woman you like, why did you come here? Shui Xunyou and Nangong Mizhen's marriage contract, but a minister's daughter got married, but Princess Yuying traveled thousands of miles as an envoy to Zhaoye. Could it be that these are all the importance you attach to the Shui family? If it is true, I will tell you later What, what's the point?"

When I said these words, my palms were full of cold sweat, everything was my speculation, all my assumptions, if there was any discrepancy, then this time I would have failed completely.

However, after I finished speaking for a long time, there was no sound behind me.

This kind of silence is the most unbearable. If there is even a little hesitation in my heart, this confrontation will be defeated. I clenched my fists, and the nails have been inserted into the palms, and bursts of pain spread to my heart.

There was a long silence, I almost thought that there was no one behind me, when suddenly a deep voice sounded——

"Then what do you mean by Murong Dynasty?"

He believed it!

The blood in my whole body started to flow at this moment, and I almost let out a long sigh of relief, but I still endured it, and slowly turned my head, looking at Xi Yumen.

His face was gloomy and his eyes were gloomy. It was obvious that what I just said had touched his sore spot.

"It seems that Emperor Baihu doesn't know that the Nangong family among the three major families is actually the descendants of the Murong family, the overlord of the Central Plains. It is to prepare for their future. The marriage contract between Shui Xunyou and Nangong Mizhen is not an ordinary marriage between a man and a woman, but a political marriage. Supporting the invincible Black Tie Army, and the Shui family—why marry the Nangong family, I don’t need to say much about it.”

I talked eloquently, and every time I uttered a word, Xi Yumen's face became gloomy.

These words of mine are all the words that I had already thought up in Zhaoye. It’s just that the world has changed, and many things are no longer true. Half of these words are true and half are false, but in fact, the truth is not important, what is important Yes, it is the deadliest thing to tell a lie between ten truths!
Xi Yumen looked at me: "You mean, people from the Shui family have known about the Nangong family's background for a long time, and they secretly colluded to eat away at the power of Qinglong and Baihu, just for Murong's comeback?"

"good."

"However, these are all your guesses. Do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence?." I said slowly, "Isn't this evidence in front of you now?"

"Ok?"

"Shui Xunyou and Nangong Mizhen captured Fengxiang City, leaving Meng Jing without a place to defend against the enemy, but no one came back to report such an important matter. Don't Baihu Emperor find it strange?"

"..."

"If it's my palace, Fengxiang is captured, and Meng Jing is close at hand, of course they will go all the way to the east. When Xuanyuan Kingdom is captured and the remnant soldiers are recovered, it will be difficult for the White Tiger Kingdom to control them. What's more, the east of Xuanyuan Kingdom Lin Qinglong, Nangong Yu's power cannot be underestimated now, what they want to do, can't Emperor Baihu guess?"

Xi Yumen's face was ashen, and suddenly he coughed forcefully. He coughed so hard that he bent down, as if he was about to cough up blood.

After a while, he slowly straightened up.

"I'm busy with political affairs today, so I won't leave the Queen Mother to sit longer. Please wait for the Empress Dowager Yongjia to be wronged in the posthouse for two days. After I finish my busy political affairs, I will have a drink with the Queen Mother."

I laughed and said, "Since the White Tiger Emperor is busy with government affairs, I won't bother you any more. I also ask the White Tiger Emperor to take care of the dragon's body. It is not acceptable to only honor outsiders for this important military and state affairs."

After finishing speaking, he got up on his own, turned around and walked out of the king's tent.

The golden carriage was still waiting for me not far away, I walked slowly and slowly, Ling Si and the others immediately came up to meet me, and when they helped me into the carriage, I looked back and saw that Xi Yumen had already called several people in , Those people looked nervous, and immediately left the king's tent after taking the order.

As soon as we got into the car, Ling Si looked at me nervously: "Queen Mother, how is the situation?"

I just smiled and didn't say anything, she understood immediately.

"However, my subordinates are still worried. If Emperor Baihu goes to Shui Mingji to confirm, it's not—"

I shook my head: "He won't. Shui Mingji is his beloved woman, even if Shui Mingji denies it, he won't believe it; but if Shui Mingji admits it, he will be heartbroken. So he would rather send People who go to Fengxiang City to find out, will not ask Shui Mingji."

"So it is."

I smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back to the post house. We still have something to do these two days."

On the same day, a group of people left the camp of Longhu Gorge and headed east, and for the next two days, Xi Yumen didn't call me again, so I stayed in the post, and the people sent to monitor me Naturally, but with Ling Si and Ling Shiyi by my side, it is not difficult to get rid of the eyeliner of these people and do what I want to do.

I counted the journeys of those people, and on the third day, someone came to report early in the morning, and the golden chariot sent by Xi Yumen was waiting for me outside the post house.

Before going out, I looked back at Ling Si and Ling Shiyi: "You know what you will do next. I won't say much. If something goes wrong, you should be buried here for me."

The two looked dignified, bowed their heads and said: "This subordinate swears to die to complete the task!"

I nodded, turned and left.

Walked into the big tent again.

The big tent was full of strong alcohol smell, it seemed that Xi Yumen had drunk a lot, I walked to the desk step by step, looked at him: "It seems that Emperor Baihu has already figured it out?"

He clenched his fists and stared fiercely at the wine in the bowl.

"You're right, Li Jun is dead, they captured Fengxiang."

Li Jun is dead?These four words made my heart sink—could it be that he really refused to sacrifice the city and was killed by Yu He?
I bit my lower lip tightly, enduring the sudden welling up of tears and the deep pain in my heart.

Having reached this point, I must not make a mistake!
"So, what is Bai Hudi going to do next?"

He sat there without saying a word, tightly holding the jade cup full of wine in one hand, the inside of which was shimmering, as if he and I were both extremely nervous at the moment.

At this moment, the big tent was suddenly lifted, and several lieutenants hurried in——

"Report to the emperor, my subordinates couldn't find the second young lady of the Shui family in the camp!"

Snapped!
The jade cup shattered in Xi Yumen's hands, and the wine mixed with blood splashed onto his face.
