Return of the Swallow

Why is he here?

Qin Yining was a little surprised, put the rinsed plum blossoms in his pocket, and gave a big gift: "I have seen the emperor before."

Jiyun, Bingtang and Qiulu also saluted.

Yuchiyan was sweating heavily while leaning against a small tree, panting heavily, and waved to Qin Yining, "Get up, no need to be polite."

Qin Yining stood up, bowed his head respectfully and asked, "Why did the emperor come here?"

Yuchiyan gasped for a while, and when her breath calmed down, she said, "I heard that your house was invaded by a mob and everyone in your family disappeared. I was very worried. After I ordered someone to check it, I found out that you moved here with your family earlier. ."

Looking up at the pink walls and black tiles of Ning Yuan, Yuchi Yan frowned unhappily when she remembered that Pang Xiao gave it to Qin Yining.

But he couldn't accuse Qin Yining of anything, after all, she was just a weak woman, and if she didn't make arrangements earlier and took her family to the mountain, I'm afraid the Qin family would be injured by the mob.

Yuchiyan laughed at himself. He was the emperor, and he was starving all day. He couldn't give Qin Yining anything, so what would he use to pursue others? Is it possible to have enough to eat just by painting and writing?

"You all retreat, Xuan Su and I have something to say." Yu Chi Yan's mood was much calmer, and she waved to the people around her.

Eunuch Lu and several guards saluted and retreated. Qiu Lu, Ji Yun and Bingtang had to step back when they saw this, leaving the space for the two of them.

Yuchi Yan leaned on a tree trunk and carefully looked at the people who were thinking about it day and night.

She has lost a lot of weight, and her small face is big and slapped, but her eyes are getting bigger and brighter, and Qiong's nose and lips are very pretty. Even though she was wearing a coarse cloth dress and her hair was simply tied in a long braid, her lack of makeup showed her natural beauty, not those beauties who had been smeared with makeup and powder.

Yuchiyan found that she still liked her, and her heart still throbbed when she saw her.

He smiled helplessly.

Now that the country is not a country, he still has time to think about these things, but the past few days have been too painful, and he has no way to vent the stagnation in his heart. Although Li Mian, the Anguogong, is the coach, he avoids and does not fight. Peace talks, there is an intention to persuade to surrender.

How could Yuchiyan's self-esteem as an emperor be trampled on like this?

But,

The current situation does not allow him.

Yuchiyan sat on the ground wearily, and said, "Sit down too, save your energy, and talk to me too."

Seeing Yuchiyan like this, Qin Yining was a little less defensive, and sat on a rock three steps away from him.

Yuchiyan looked up at the leaves blown by the wind, leaned against the trunk and closed her eyes, and said slowly after a while, "You know, the emperor disappeared yesterday."

Qin Yining looked at Yuchi Yan in surprise.

Yuchiyan said wearily: "The inner supervisor who delivered the meal to the emperor found that the food he brought in was not used, and thought that something had happened to the emperor, but he searched the palace and found no one. A good person, so out of thin air. Disappeared."

"The emperor believes?" Qin Yining frowned.

"What?" Yuchiyan looked at Qin Yining.

Qin Yining said: "A good person will not disappear out of thin air. If someone outside helped the emperor to escape, it means that there is a secret passage in the palace."

"Secret way?" Yuchiyan sat up straight, "How could you think of this level?"

"Because when Cao Guozhang was arrested, it is said that a tunnel was discovered in their mansion." The three caves of the cunning rabbit, how could these old fritters not leave a way out for themselves? Cao Guozhang and the Taihuang have been dealing with each other all their lives. No matter how foolish the Taihuang is, he has a lot of scheming. Even Cao Guozhang is authentic, and the Taihuang will not be unprepared.

Yu Chiyan's reaction was slow for half a beat, but she quickly figured out the key, and said, "You are right, why didn't you think of it." Then she turned around and called a guard over, and whispered a few words in his ear, The guard saluted and quickly withdrew.

Yuchi Yan looked straight at one place, and sat for a while against the tree trunk before saying, "It seems that the Emperor wants to go to Nanyan with that large sum of money."

Qin Yining smiled and said nothing.

It would be too stupid and naive if the emperor took that huge sum of money to Nanyan, thinking that Liu Yingshi and the new emperor of Nanyan would recognize him as the former emperor. The silver family will accept it, but the life of the Taihuang is not guaranteed.

It is easy to sit in that high position. Nanyan is only a small country formed by the merger of several states and counties of the Dayan Dynasty, but the area is also as large as the sea-facing Japanese state and Koguryo combined. No one will give up. .

When Qin Yining was silent, Yuchiyan had already thought a lot.

Finally, he closed his eyes and leaned against the tree trunk, and said faintly: "It seems that God really does not help me. That old man Li Mian has been persuading me to negotiate peace all day long. I trust him and even named his daughter the queen. However, he is lazy, greedy for life and fear of death! He has only attacked once in a long time, and it was because of the enemy's tricks that the soldiers and horses he brought out lost 20,000. If it weren't for Mrs. Qin The teacher rescued in time, Li Mian this old thing will die outside. Heaven will not help me Dayan, natural disasters, talent withered. "

Qin Yining now understands what the emperor is here for.

He was full of depression and had nowhere to vent, so he came to talk to her.

At the same time, he was already resigned and wanted peace talks.

But in the current situation, the peace talks are nothing but a dream.

Qin Yining didn't mind pouring cold water on Yuchi Yan, "The peace talks that Duke Anguo said are actually not appropriate."

"Oh?" Yuchiyan looked at Qin Yining with hopeful eyes.

Qin Yining said: "If you want to negotiate a peace, it is necessary that the two countries have similar status. We also need to have the conditions for negotiating and exchanging with others so that both parties can be satisfied, then it is called a peace negotiation. If it is prestige, Da Zhou now has an overwhelming unilateral advantage, why should he negotiate with us? Even if they agree to negotiate, what conditions can we allow to impress them?"

In a word, Yuchiyan felt like she was in an ice cave in an instant, and there was still a little hope in her heart, but at this moment there was no slag left.

Yes, he is a bereaved dog now, why should people negotiate with him?

But if there is no hope, why did Duke An Guo persuade him repeatedly?

Is it...

"That old man Li Mian, I'm afraid it's fake to persuade me to negotiate peace, but it's true to persuade me to surrender! He is trying to put me in a place of disloyalty and filial piety, so how should I face the ancestors of the Yuchi family? I am the king of the subjugated country!"

Yu Chiyan thought of the Taihuang who disappeared with a large sum of money, what the Taihuang said to him, and the faces of the people in the court at the time of crisis, and her heart ached as if someone was stabbing him with a needle.

"What can I do if my life is not at the right time? The emperor please don't be too sad, as long as you live, there is hope for everything." Qin Yining lowered his eyes and persuaded softly.

Yuchiyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Yining blankly, "As long as you live? You say the same?"
