Tian Liang stood in front of the main tent, watching the morning sun shine its light on the snow-white man on the chair. He stepped forward, picked up the blanket that fell from You Qixuan, covered him and said: "You
Did you deliberately take off the blanket because you knew I was coming?"
Qi Xuan looked at her while half leaning on the rocking chair, with a slight smile in his eyes, "Girl always understands me."
"Sir, there is always a purpose for doing things." Tianliang was also smiling, "This is the only thing I can be sure of among the few things I know about you, isn't it?
She said, sitting on the chair he had prepared a long time ago. Qixuan stood up slowly, put the blanket on her shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "Are you cold?"
"It's very cold," she answered truthfully, grabbing the blanket, "but it's not as cold as my heart."
Qi Xuan's hand that fell on her shoulder paused slightly, and after looking down at her, he took it back.
He sat on the chair next to her, picked up a cup of hot tea, and sipped it slowly. His face was hidden in the smoke. After putting it down, he was as cold as ever, "At least, girl, I am still willing to come and find you."
Qi’s.”
"Excuse me, sir, I have been waiting here all night."
Tianliang also picked up a cup of tea and drank tea, turning his head to Qixuan and nodding, his voice isolated.
Qi Xuan returned the favor, "Girl, you don't have to be polite."
In a few words, there was a strangeness that no one could break.
Tianliang's heart felt sour, and the hand holding the cup trembled slightly. He didn't want to stand on that high hill and forced himself all night to tell himself not to show too many sad thoughts in front of him, but he could still tell her with his look and smile.
collapse.
She laughed silently to herself, put down the cup that she couldn't hold at all, straightened her expression, and took out a red thing from her arms, "I never found the source on the carriage... I always carry this thing with me.
, and because it was given by you, I didn’t have any suspicion. Now that I think about it, it can not only keep people safe, but it can also make people comatose. It is a unique drug..."
"Sir's drug." Tianliang placed the bright red peace knot, something he had carefully carried with him, on the table and raised his eyes, "I'd better give it back to you, sir."
Qi Xuan picked up the peace knot, hung it and looked at it for a long time, then finally accepted it and put it in the palm of his hand, without denying Tian Liang's words.
"For the fake death medicine, it was you who knew early on that I was going to help Princess Pali escape from marriage, and knew that Gu Ziyu was by my side and had the Jueming Powder in my hand, so you deliberately left the medicine book to guide me in implementing that series of plans." Tian
Liang leaned back on the chair and narrated in a low voice, "I didn't have a complete plan at that time. I just came up with the idea after seeing your medicine book. And because of this fake death medicine, I
I think it's completely intact, so I can safely take a gamble. Think about it carefully, you never leave anything out randomly, how could you just leave a medicine book behind, and how could there be a medicine book? Nearly half of them are carefully describing a dose of medicine.
?Because you know me well, even if you stay away from me for those few days, you will know what I will do and how to do it! So after I pretended to be Pari and took the medicine, you sent someone to pick me up early, and then
Prince Batu made the body public, and then ordered someone to appear as Pari in front of the Katu tribe, causing chaos and discord between the two tribes, leading to war. Of course, this is not your ultimate goal..."
Tian Liang turned his head and looked at the calm Qi Xuan, "The Batu tribe is definitely not as good as Gunuo and Katu, but there is a second princess in the Batu tribe who is married to Dong Jing. This relationship created the idea of reinforcements.
, Sir just wants to use the Batu tribe as a guide to open the way. In essence, he wants to introduce Dongjing soldiers into the grassland, intervene in the grassland, and start a war with Beiyu!"
"There is no need for a reason for war." Qi Xuan slowly lowered the cup and gently touched the white body of the cup with peach blossoms engraved on it with his slender fingers. His eyes were warm, "But the name must be justified."
"Dong Jing and Bei Yu have never had any friendship or enmity. Under common sense, it is impossible to lead troops to attack without reason. If it is too sudden, it will also give Bei Yu a reason to join forces with other countries to fight against the enemy." Tian Liang pursed his lips, "
You have been thinking about starting a war since you entered Beiyu Palace, so when you were in Beiyu Palace, you always stayed by my side, observed opportunities, used me, and became the fuse to start this war."
"That's right," Qixuan answered bluntly, without evading his words, "Given her status as Miss Li, she is the most suitable candidate."
"So, my identity is still useful to you." Tianliang secretly clenched his fists, "Or is there something missing in what I just said?"
"Ziyu is a doctor and will not carry poison with him," Qi Xuan reminded him in a calm tone.
That poison was also a bait he deliberately set.
I see.
When Tian Liang heard this, he laughed silently at himself, laughing because he expected him to say something to turn the situation around.
"Yesterday at Shenshi, the Beiyu royal family found in the room of the missing Princess Pali a treasonous letter about her affair with the Xifeng people. The letter was stamped with the seal of General Xifeng." Tianliang's tone was always like his.
Staying calm and calm, "At the same time, another secret letter revealed that Princess Pali had an affair with the Central Plains people seven years ago. Pari escaped from the marriage and became the person who fueled the situation. She was expelled from the royal family of the Gunuo tribe.
I have become a treasonous traitor and the target of public criticism, and the General Xifeng who conspired with him is none other than me, Li Tianliang. That letter was written by you, sir. When you return in the carriage, you will give the proper account of the guards.
Only if you don't expose your lies can you pick me up and check in last night..."
Tianliang's nails were almost dug into his flesh, "After checking in last night, you played that scene with me and asked me to personally hand over the general's seal. You are really smart, very smart. You calculated everything, every detail."
!”
When she said these words, her tone was extremely sarcastic.
Qixuan didn't argue, he just looked at her and said in a low voice: "Girl, if you think I'm just acting, then that's it."
No denial.
There is no excuse.
He could have hundreds of ways to make her believe that his purpose was just to do good to others, or that he had difficulties... Tianliang thought he would always say something, but he didn't, from beginning to end,
That expression of aloofness has never changed.
"When you do things, you don't rob or steal, and you don't force others to make things difficult for you. You have many ways to make me hand over the general's mark." Tian Liang said, his throat suddenly tightened, and there was a surge of bitterness, "Why do you have to do this?
The one that makes me the saddest... Or is it like you said, is it fun to see me handing things over like a fool and trying to please you like that?"
Flashbacks flashed through my mind yesterday when I had an intimate discussion with him about the engagement. The bitterness could no longer be stopped and went straight to my nose. My eyes swelled and something hot fell down...
She didn't want him to see her fragile appearance at this time, so she raised her hands and hastily wiped the things that fell from her eyes, and her face was almost buried in the blanket on her shoulders.
Qi Xuan knew she was crying, but he didn't look at her. He just leaned back on the chair and looked into the distance quietly...
There was silence everywhere.
Tianliang only heard the sound of her own tears...
She waited for a long time. Even though she knew that the two of them were just sitting like this without any more words, she still sat there persistently and waited.
I just want to wait for an explanation from him.
Half a stick of incense has passed, the tea has cooled down, and the tears in the corners of my eyes have been blown dry by the cold wind.
"You didn't even give me a reason," she opened her dry eyes, "then should I believe everything you said before?"
There was another moment of silence...
When Tianliang heard Qi Xuan sigh, the warm voice poured into her eardrums, but it was like being cut with a blunt instrument. Because it was unfavorable, there was no blood, and because the tone was not deliberately hurtful, it was possible.
A voice sounded, and Dong Wenjin was seen running over, reporting the battle situation with an excited face, "Last night's raid, we won the first battle."
Tianliang paused and repeated in a low voice, "Third brother..."
Only then did Dong Wenjin realize that she had made a mistake. She was about to explain, but she heard Qi Xuan say to her, "I've given you the reason."
"That's it..."
Tianliang whispered, his body still covered in blankets, but he felt so cold and unbearable, "Dongjing Royal Family... You are Dongjing Royal Family... So, when Xifeng met, Nanzhao helped me save people,
Are they all done for a purpose?”
"Use the power of support for good," Qi Xuan replied as he stood up, walked forward, and pulled up the blanket that fell under his shoulders for her, "This is a common practice in the art of war."
His fingers touched the skin on her neck, which was extremely cold. Tianliang subconsciously shrank and avoided his touch.
"I haven't slept all night. Don't get cold, go and have a rest." He warned softly, his eyes as quiet as water as before.
"By borrowing the help of others, we can speed up the elimination of Nanzhao's cancer." Tianliang was still whispering, "The art of war is common sense, and you are right. This general's position was originally given to you."
Qi Xuan grabbed her hand. After feeling the chill that penetrated his bones, he looked worried and said, "You are very cold. Be obedient and go back to your tent."
"obedient……"
Tian Liang suddenly raised his head towards him, his breath filled with urgency and anger, "If you want me to be obedient, you must first tell me where my Li family is?"
Qi Xuan paused and said in a calm tone, "In my hand."
