Yuanheng Yan led Yuanzhao Yan into his tent and told Qing Ren to prepare wine, and the two brothers were speechless for a while.

Yuanzhao Yan has long been accustomed to this saw-tipped gourd, strolling around the tent with his own hands.

Although not hopeful, he is still in the habit of trying to have some fun here.

I didn't think he would find a rare object.

The corner of the tent dug a side of the earthen pond, inside the water, raising three small palm-sized river turtle. Two black and one yellow, two black in the water eider, so leisurely, a yellow climb up the shore, does not seem to be very afraid of life, is curious and Yuanzhao Yan look at each other.

Yuanzhao Yan looked rare, squatted down, and gently stroked its chin with his knuckles.

The little turtle is very quiet, lifting its little head for him to manipulate.

Yuanzhao Yan asked, "What's this?"

Yuanheng Yan : "Turtle."

Yuanzhao Yan: "I've never seen a turtle before? I've never seen a turtle run. I've seen turtle soup. I mean, why are you raising turtles here?"

" From Chang Su."

Yuanheng Yan deliberately bites the word " Chang Su" very hard.

Yuanzhao Yan Ha Ji Yi: "Okay, Yun Ting, this is a good gift. If you don't raise it well, you can give it away, if you raise it well, you can give it away."

Yuanheng Yan : "......"

Yuanzhao Yan held the little yellow turtle, which was not afraid of people, in his hand and played with it, while Yuanheng Yan sat on the side and drank tea.

Yuanzhao Yan was having fun and said, "Just like you, they can't talk."

...... Yuanheng Yan felt that this sixth royal brother of his was not very good at talking either.

He put the tea down and walked over to Yuanzhao Yan.

Yuanzhao Yan teased the turtle, only to share a slanting eye to his brother.

Yuanheng Yan coughed lightly, "Sixth Imperial Brother. Does Chang Su write to you often?"

Yuanzhao Yan didn't even look up: "Ah. How?"

Yuanheng Yan : "Nothing."

Yuanzhao Yan got along well with the little yellow turtle, took it back to his seat and continued to tease it, even tried to feed it alcohol, but Yuanheng Yan stopped him before feeding it some fresh fish.

Yuanheng Yan endured for a long time, asking, "...... What did you say in your letter?"

Yuanzhao Yan replied, "How is the battle at the border, how is the body, is it still alive. What else can be said?"

Yuanheng Yan lowered his eyelashes and gave a "hmm", his mood was neither good nor bad.

That side, Yuanzhao Yan paused and picked up a small piece of fish: "...... occasionally talk about you."

Yuanheng Yan pricked up his ears.

Yuanzhao Yan, however, did not follow up: "That's all."

Yuanheng Yan said disappointedly, "...... hmm."

The two brothers were silent for a while.

Yuanheng Yan tried to break the silence after deliberating his words: "When the sixth royal brother has a letter with Chang Su, he can inform Heng Yuan. Heng Yuan should also write a letter to inform the royal brothers of the peace ......"

"The first thing you need to do is to get the best out of it. Yuanzhao Yan also does not give Yuanheng Yan face, "think also know with you correspondence is what kind of light. I ask you a good word, you give me back a thank you, we are only polite in the letter. I don't know you yet, you are the most boring. "

The brothers were once again in the cold.

Asking and asking, he failed to ask what he really wanted to ask.

Yuanheng Yan pressed on and finally made up his mind to stop beating around the bush: "...... What did Chang Su say about me in his letter?"

Yuanzhao Yan picked up the little yellow turtle and sighed, feeling deeply bored.

Let's go to Yun Ting.

This boredom is clearly no words to find words, and he gritted his teeth hard to talk can not talk about the flowers.

He doesn't have the time to play brother and sister with Yuanheng Yan.

He got up, "He said Yuanheng Yan Whenever there is a battle, always charge ahead."

Yuanheng Yan nodded his head, and his heart was overwhelmed with joy.

Seeing him in the afterglow, Yuanzhao Yan's heart could not help but be annoyed.

He reached out to support the crown of hair, said: "He also said that Yuanheng Yan has the heart to serve the country, order a hundred light horses, night chase Sha Pa, beheaded and returned, in the army to make a name, the audience loved soldiers. But in his opinion, it is just a child who is proud of his martial arts skills, trying to be adventurous and does not know what is good and bad."

Yuanheng Yan heard that the taste is not quite right, do not feel a start.

That's not the kind of thing Tingyun Shi would say.

Yuanzhao Yan walked out two steps with his back to him and stopped in front of the tent: "He said he wished you to build a successful career, but also wished you to be greedy for life and death. May you be a pillar of the country, not a hero after death."

Yuanheng Yan's mind turned abruptly, and after he understood who was trying to say this to him, he felt a slight heat in his chest.

He gave a deep bow, "Thirteenth brother understands. Thank you, Sixth Imperial Brother."

Yuanzhao Yan waved a hand somewhat uncomfortably.

The brotherhood of friends and brotherhood set, really does not suit him.

As he was about to leave the tent, Yuanheng Yan once again called out behind him, "Sixth brother, that little turtle was given to me by Chang Su."

Yuanzhao Yan : "......"

He just doesn't like Yuanheng Yan's one-dimensional nature!

Yuanzhao Yan is indignant: "Take you a turtle to play, not a stew, how can you be so petty."

Yuanheng Yan said seriously, "This is my reward for killing Sha Pa, which Chang Su himself went to the river to catch for me."

Yuanzhao Yan : "......"

He held up the turtle incredulously, met the round red eyes and tsked: "You risked your life to kill Sha Pa, Tingyun Shi fished three Ba Wang to give you, even if the reward?"

Yuanheng Yan : "Well. I like it very much."

Yuanzhao Yan was about to put the little yellow turtle down when he heard the words, his expression changed slightly.

He thought of the question he had asked Tingyun Shi when he was playing against him at the Wang City Palace.

"...... Sixth Master wants your word, do you have the fetish of breaking your sleeve?"

At that time, Tingyun Shi did not say anything and did not answer positively, but it was obvious that he had his heart set on a new one.

When I saw Yuanheng Yan again, Yuanzhao Yan also felt that he was a little different from his previous situation.

Thinking of this, he felt some bad, simply live to go out of the footsteps, go back to the main seat, settled in the main seat, pick up a glass of wine: "I and taste the Nan Southern white wine taste how."

Yuanheng Yan picked up the little yellow turtle, put it in the pool and let it go to find its other two playmates.

Yuanzhao Yan drank two sips of wine, one hand supporting the chin, one hand playing with the wine glass, as if not intended to say: "...... thirteenth brother, and Yun Ting to the border these days, how do you think?"

......

When Xiaochi Chi entered Ying Lou's tent, Ying Lou was already in his wheelchair, smoothing out the pages of his crumpled book.

Seeing him enter, Ying Lou naturally put the book over and then patted the arm of the chair beside him: "Sit here."

Xiaochi Chi sat down, "Sir, I'm chattering away there."

Ying Lou said, "I called you here to talk about Ziling Chu."

Xiaochi Chi pondered, "Oh-"

Ying Lou laughed: "Oh what."

Xiaochi Chi said in all seriousness, "Practicing the American voice."

Ying Lou coughed: "...... Ziling Chu ."

Xiaochi Chi fervently brings the conversation back on track: " Ziling Chu Ziling Chu ."

Ziling Chu's life is pretty tough right now.

His remorse value, however, is still stuck below 10 points.

The deaths of Sha Pa and Yichun Wu have undoubtedly left him with a great deal of grief, but in his heart, Sha Ai is not dead.

Even if he learns of Sha Ai's death, to Ziling Chu, he has only lost a few puppets that he can manipulate.

Xiaochi Chi said to himself, "It's been two months, so it's time for 'that guy' to make some moves."

Ying Lou said, "Since he is not dead, he will always come. It's just that he's been fighting the Beifu Army for the past two months, and I heard that he was hit by a vector and lost an eye, so he probably came late because he was recuperating."

Xiaochi Chi said, "Let's hope he does it soon. The thirteenth prince's teenage boy heart has been a little out of control lately, and I may not be able to hold it."

Ying Lou : "I can help you with that."

Xiaochi Chi deliberately came closer: "How can you help me? When something happens, you tell me to come back quickly? What if I don't come back?"

He feels less afraid of Ying Lou these days, and can sometimes joke with him.

Ying Lou looked him straight in the eye, tapped her fingertips on the armrest of the wheelchair twice, and said gently but firmly, "If you hadn't come back just now, I would have gone to get you back."

Xiaochi Chi : "......"

His eyelashes droop, turn into like the wind conceded, obediently shrunk back to the chair, holding a cup of water to drink.

I don't know if it's because of the spirit of the word, but after the two of them sat opposite each other for a while, a messenger from the own army came in a hurry and handed over a letter.

The envelope is very thick, pinching up at least a few dozen sheets of paper.

Xiaochi Chi thought it was something related to the war, opened it only to take a look, and his eyes lit up.

Ying Lou carefully identified the light in his eyes, and his heart followed.

He asked, "Is ...... here?"

Xiaochi Chi threw the letter to the ground after skimming through it and said, "Yes, it's finally here."

He pushed Ying Lou's wheelchair to a safe place, grabbed the tea that he had just half drunk, and did not forget to remind Ying Lou: "Cooperate, plug your ears."

Ying Lou : "...... eh?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "I'm going to lose my temper."

After Ying Lou plugged his ears, Xiaochi Chi kicked the chair he was sitting on and threw the cup of tea to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

The sound was so loud that it could be heard by ten military tents in the vicinity.

Hearing the movement inside, there was a moment of silence outside.

Within a few moments, Yuanheng Yan opened the tent and hurried in: "What happened?"

Xiaochi Chi did not answer, lips bitten white, and again without saying a word, lifted down the table case.

Yuanzhao Yan followed Yuanheng Yan into the tent, saw the chaos on the ground, did not move, first instructed his attendants to dismiss the soldiers who heard the noise nearby, before closing the curtain tent, frowned and said, "^What are you making?"

Yuanheng Yan noticed a pile of letters lying on the ground, leaned down to pick them up and turned them over.

The more he turned, the harder his expression became.

The letter was clearly a secret letter to Nan Southern to inform him of the military situation!

Some of the paper is on the new side, some on the old side, and the letters are not explicitly dated, but the earliest secret letter, based on the content, is projected to be from the Battle of the Twin Cities seven years ago.

That battle was supposed to be a sure win surprise attack.

However, the Nan Southern Army in the Twin Towns was prepared and planted a fire mine outside the southern part of the city, hitting the Beifu Army so hard that Hong Jing was shot in the shoulder and nearly died in the chaotic battle.

The earliest letters were so detailed that they even stated that the Beifu Army would attack from the south of the city.

Yuanzhao Yan Seeing that they all looked so ugly, his heart could not help but be suspicious, grabbed it and flipped through two pages, it was a mixture of shock and anger: "...... Yun Ting, is this not your writing?"

"It's not Chang Su's." Yuanheng Yan's face was sullen, "The structure and the stroke are exactly the same, but it is never written by one person. When Chang Su writes, he always has some unusual little habits, such as when he writes the word '之', the topmost point is lifted up a little at the end ......"

Yuanzhao Yan asked, "These letters, who sent them?"

Yuanheng Yan took out the top sheet of letterhead: "This packet of letters should have come from the main camp. When General Hong Jing has already gone through it, the enclosed letter said that these letters were personally delivered by a Nan Southern envoy who came to discuss the matter of truce, frankly saying that they had a spy planted inside the Central Plains army ...... named Ziling Chu . "

Yuanzhao Yan drew a cold breath and turned his head to look at Tingyun Shi.

Tingyun Shi shoulders are trembling, fingers like a heart fire burning itchy, a curled spasm.

Yuanheng Yan moved closer to Tingyun Shi and raised her hand to tug on his sleeve, but finally dropped her hand and just stood beside him.

He thought that if he couldn't stand up, he would stand closer and be able to hold him faster.

With this in mind, Yuanheng Yan handed Yuanzhao Yan the handwritten letter from Hong Jing and asked him to read it: "The envoy is now detained in the main camp. He said that he was sincere in coming to the peace talks, and that he was willing to confront Ziling Chu in order to show his sincerity by revealing his identity. General Shih has sent someone to bring people to the primus camp, and he has also asked Chang Su to go and take a look at it immediately."

Yuanzhao Yan finished reading at a glance, glanced at the ashen Tingyun Shi, and resolved not to fall on the well first.

" Nan Southerners? Would they be so kind as to catch the traitor for us?" Yuanzhao Yan stared, "Don't be sowing dissension, right? Whose name is the Nan Southern envoy carrying?"

Ying Lou on the other side said in a gentle voice, "The person who sent him was Muer Tie, but the person who told him to deliver the letter was a Nan Southern lieutenant. That man is Sha Ai's nephew and Sha Pa's lieutenant."

Yuanzhao Yan said coldly, "Can such a person be trusted in what he says?"

Yuanheng Yan said, "If we want to say that he planted the crime, he could have taken these letters to prove that Chang Su was a foreigner, so why did he name and plant the crime against a small senator? What good would it do?"

Yuanzhao Yan had nothing to say, so he kept looking at Yuanheng Yan with his eyes.

Do you know how to read faces?

Ziling Chu was promoted by Tingyun Shi, and grew up together, so the friendship was extraordinary.

If Ziling Chu was falsely accused, it would be fine, but if he wasn't, then how should Yun Ting deal with himself?

Tingyun Shi looked like he had just awakened from a nightmare, looked around blankly, looked around at the wreckage, and then slowly got substance in his gaze.

As if to confirm that it was not a dream, he drew his feet and ran outside.

Yuanzhao Yan was startled and took a few steps out of the tent: "What are you doing?"

Tingyun Shi sprinted to pull a good horse and sat on it: "...... I will go to him myself. I want to ask him a clear answer!"

......

Ziling Chu was dragged straight out of the stable.

The leader whispered two words to Zhan Dayuan, a big man with a black tower, and Zhan Dayuan turned pale and called for two stronger soldiers, who tied him up and gagged him with a tarpaulin, threw him on a horse and transported him on the road like a cattle.

What's going on with ......?!

Ziling Chu had a hard time saying anything, and after a moment of fear, he calmed down again.

He has a special status, with the Duke shelter, will be so treated, the cause does not need to say.

He was always clean and confident that he would not leave any traces, and unless Nan Southern sent back the letters he had sent, there would be no solid evidence of his correspondence with Nan Southern.

And the only mistake should be those in the city's spies.

Maybe the Beifu Army caught a spy who happened to deliver a letter for them, and the spy gave himself up in order to live.

This is not enough to fear.

As long as the bite of that person is planted, the other party has no token, two no evidence, and can not help him?

Even before he arrived at his destination, Ziling Chu had a plan in place to deal with the situation.

As he was typing, he suddenly heard a sound of horses' hooves, coming from a distance, followed by the sergeant in charge of escorting him, saluting: "...... Young General."

Ziling Chu's eyes lit up and she looked up and called out vaguely, "Stop ......"

The next moment, he was kicked off his horse by Tingyun Shi, who had turned over and dismounted, and fell to the ground, rolling several times on the dry land, nearly breaking his neck.

Tingyun Shi, without any further ado, took the whip and struck him.

I do not know if it is a coincidence, the whip dipped in water, and salt water, heavy and heavy, not to mention Tingyun Shi military background, the strength is incomparable, the whip blade a touch of body pain into the bone marrow.

Ziling Chu was in pain, and could not escape, so he had to roll and crawl to hide, calling vaguely: "Gongzi! ...... Yun Ting , listen to my explanation, I let me explain--"

Tingyun Shi, however, seemed to have gone crazy and beat him regardless, raining whips on his head, one of which landed on his cheek and tore off a strip of skin from his face!

Ziling Chu, who had never suffered from this kind of pain before, nearly went crazy with the pain, and stopped bothering to explain and put all his energy into running and hiding.

Between whips, the same thing that he had properly hidden came loose from him and fell on top of the dry ground.

Ziling Chu rolled out five or six feet away, only to suddenly feel a shock, turned his head to see, only to see that the proof of his identity Nan Southern King jade pendant, actually in the continuous running and rolling, from his lapel inside the pocket out!

Ziling Chu a time of cold hair vertical, the heart and soul of all lost, is actually to meet the whip blade lunged, want to protect the jade pendant under the body.

...... This jade pendant must not be seen by Tingyun Shi!

If he sees it, it's all over!

However, Tingyun Shi had no intention of going to see it.

Or rather, he didn't even see it.

Because the next second, his boots stepped on the jade pendant.

...... ka.

Kakkak.

Ziling Chu watched as the jade pendant wrapped in a soft handkerchief, which he had carried with him since he was a child in fear of being stolen by someone greedy for money, broke apart at Tingyun Shi's feet and splattered with debris.

Ziling Chu froze on the spot, staring at Tingyun Shi's feet, and was solidly whipped by Tingyun Shi for more than a dozen lashes before he came back to his senses, tears and cold sweat exploding, teeth chattering, as if what was trampled was not jade, but his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.

Through a tarp gagged in his mouth, Tingyun Shi could still hear what he was hissing.

Ziling Chu roared with a sobbing voice: "-My Jade!"
