Chapter 109 State Secrets
When Bai Nianming entered the palace, he saw that the King of Beiliang leaned on the Jinluan couch in a lazy manner, as if he had fallen asleep.
Bai Nianming sighed deeply, bowed and said, "I am going to see King Liang."
"Ah... it's Bai Chen Xiang who came. The Gu Wang waited for a while, but he fell asleep without thinking." The Beiliang King woke up slightly, then got up and sat down, and did not forget to yawn.
"I am late, I hope King Liang will forgive my crime." Bai Nianming nodded and signaled, but sighed in his heart, how can such a king govern the country?
"Okay, okay, you, I, the king and the minister, don't have to do this anymore, just sit down." The King of Beiliang waved his hand and signaled Bai Nianming to sit down.
"Thank you, King Liang." Bai Nianming bowed his hand and sat down aside.
"I guess, the Prime Minister Bai Chen also knew about the fact that Xia Feng Kingdom sent an envoy to come." The King of Beiliang looked a little sad.
"I dare to ask King Liang, where is the messenger?" Bai Nianming originally thought that King Liang came to him to meet with the messenger, but he did not expect that he did not see the messenger.
"After meeting with the Lone King, I arranged to rest." The King of Beiliang said in a meaningless tone.
"I dare to ask King Liang, what does the messenger come?" Bai Nianming couldn't wait to know, but looking at King Liang's attitude, it seemed that the messenger did not mention his affairs.
"It's not just taking advantage of the opportunity to win the territory of Beiliang. Fortunately, it's just the territory of the border." The King of Beiliang shook his head lamentingly.
"Did King Liang agree?" Bai Nianming looked at King Beiliang with a suspicious tone even more incredible.
"The territory of Biantu has been abandoned and unmanaged. If you give it, you will give it to it. It is not worth it to be willing to argue over a piece of wasteland." The King of Beiliang said with a natural look on his face. If a small piece of wasteland could be exchanged for peace, he would not be happy.
"The King of Liang doesn't know that the piece of border soil is always full of weeds, which is for the purpose of providing for the people near the border soil. If King of Liang ceded this, then where will those breeding herders survive? Please think of it for the people and take it back into your life."
Bai Nianming stood up and bowed to signal that he could not imagine what he had to give his own things, and he would give them what he could say. What a ridiculous thing.
"Oh, I've given it here, so I can go there to find resources. Could it be that it is impossible to start a war with Xia Fengguo for hundreds of herders." The King of Beiliang expressed his intention and determination with his physical movements.
"Have you ever thought that Xia Feng Kingdom can come to ask for border territory today, and then another day, it may come to the land of Liangcheng." Bai Nianming's tone was a little heavy. Facing such a king, he was very worthless for the people.
The King of Beiliang's face was dark and shouted in anger, "Rare you, Bai Chen, is accusing the Lord of King's strategy?"
"I don't dare." Bai Nianming bowed his hand and gestured, and he also felt that his words were wrong.
"Since that's the case, this matter is settled. The Lone King summoned you to come and did the same thing. If you have to worry about it, Bai Chen will bother you."
The King of Northern Liang was arrogant and arrogant. He was angry at Bai Nianming's self-righteousness. He took into account the face of the previous king and gave in many courtesy points, but he contradicted the situation, so he naturally wanted to suppress him.
"I am going to receive the order." Bai Nianming bowed his hand and signaled that the King of Beiliang was undoubtedly reminding him that he came to him, not to discuss the matter, but to do the matter as he did. If he objected again, it would only make the King of Beiliang even more disgusted. He was a foolish monarch who could not help but know the current affairs. The King of Beiliang glanced at Nianming without being lustful, and then left.
Bai Nianming also left the palace later. He thought all the way. If the land was transferred away this time, it would mean that Beiliang's acquiesce to Xia Feng's invasion. If this continues, Beiliang will not last long. Although he is greedy, he is essentially filial to the country first;
Bai Nianming stood in front of the palace gate, looked up at the huge palace, sighing, and there was no wise king here; suddenly, Gao Jin's figure appeared in his mind. Since Gao Jin got married, he has never seen Gao Jin. What kind of reason should he find to meet him at this time?
Bai Nianming dragged his tired body and mind to return to the small building where An Po lived; he pushed the door open and saw An Po holding his cheek with one hand and dazzled to the green bamboo in the yard.
"I've been back so early." An Po looked at him and stood up to greet him.
Bai Nianming chuckled and said nothing, holding the dark pot in his hand, and sat down in the yard.
"Didn't you say you're going to meet the messenger? Why do you seem unhappy?" Anpo handed a cup of tea to Bai Nianming. Bai Nianming's expression was solemn that it was enough to make people see that they were unhappy.
"Hmph... the messenger didn't see it, but took on a shameful task." Bai Nianming sneered, then shook his head helplessly.
"The young master is an important official in Northern Liang, and it is common for him to accept tasks, but this 'shame' is confusing." An Po chuckled, his expression seemed meaningless.
"Qing'er, guess what the purpose of 'Xia Fengguo' is coming here." Bai Nianming put away his bitter face just now, and turned to a smile to look at An Po. "This is the secret of the two countries, and I dare not speak nonsense." An Po smiled and lowered her eyes. She was slightly worried. Bai Nianming had discovered something.
"I think you can't guess, but this matter is not a secret, and you will know it soon." Bai Nianming took a sip of tea and seemed very leisurely.
"It's not a secret, so why should you be worried?" The dark soul tempted intentionally or unintentionally.
"Although it is not a secret, it is definitely a matter of insulting the country's respect for beauty." Bai Nianming also deliberately revealed that he was still thinking about whether he should tell the dark pot.
"Oh~?" Anpo said casually. Even she was considering herself. I thought that Bai Nianming would not care.
"Xia Feng Kingdom did not come to visit and make friends on the surface, but came to divide the territory of Beiliang." Bai Nianming was about the intention of secretly pursuing his intention, because he no longer needed to care.
"Beiliang is now in a low period, and it is common for other countries to invade. However, if you divide your own territory into others, you may not tolerate it, let alone the king of a country." Anpo has always maintained a natural smile, and what she thought was something that ordinary people can think of, and she is not afraid that Bai Nianming would doubt it.
"What is lamentable is that King Liang has agreed to divide the territory of the border into Xiafeng Kingdom." Bai Nian shook his head in a dark sigh.
"Maybe King Liang has his own strategy, so young master doesn't need to lament." An Po was slightly stunned, and instantly turned into a natural smile. She had already obtained the information she wanted, so she shouldn't continue to ask.
"I hope God blesses Northern Liang." Bai Nianming showed a helpless smile; and he deliberately revealed this to An Po, just to know if An Po was from Gao Jin or Song Jingran. If so, then he could just tell them about this matter. If not, then it would be his wish.
"Young master is tired for a day, I'll wait for you to rest." Anpo said and stood up. She didn't want to show off her feet on this topic.
Bai Nianming nodded and answered, got up and walked into the house with his dark soul in his arms.
The figures of Song Jingran and Anpo appeared in the backyard of the Song Mansion. Anpo was reporting Bai Nianming's words. When Yu Zixia was approaching, she was hiding behind a tree and witnessing a scene in the distance. Seeing the words and deeds of the two, it was not difficult to distinguish the relationship between the two. This made her curious about the identity and purpose of Anpo, and she was even more confused about what kind of relationship there exists between them. When she lowered her eyes and thought, she looked up again and saw that Song Jingran was the only one left, walking alone in the yard.
Yu Zixia followed the tree and walked towards Song Jingran "Jingran..."
Song Jingran stopped hearing the sound, turned around and looked at Yu Zixia Shanshan.
"Why did you come here?" Song Jingran smiled slightly.
In the backyard, few people come here, and usually the villagers pass by. Because it is relatively secluded, Song Jingran was curious about Yu Zixia's intention to come here.
"I heard from the servant that the young master was in the backyard, so I came over." Yu Zixia smiled as usual.
"Is there something wrong?" Song Jingran's faint smile was mixed with a hint of far-fetchedness. From when, he had an inexplicable distance from Yu Zixia, and even his words were incompatible. Sometimes, he was even more afraid of facing such greetings.
"Just just now, Mrs. Hui discussed with me. Prince Jin has been married for a long time and has not visited me yet. Yu Li can't say anything. Besides, the princess and concubines are both sisters of my family before, so I should go and congratulate me. I don't know what the young master wants." Yu Zixia looked at Song Jingran with a smile. She deliberately revealed that she wanted to determine whether Song Jingran was confined to her freedom because she concealed Shuang Muzi's identity.
"Why, Zixia has seen the princess and concubines?" Although Song Jingran asked, she also made a meaningless look to avoid Yu Zixia's caress. Yu Zixia vaguely revealed that he was not sure what she meant, and he didn't know what she had ever had.
"It's a coincidence that, not long ago, the I and Mrs. Hui were adding supplies to the young master in the market. Unexpectedly, they happened to meet the princess and the concubine who were also wandering around here, so they made an appointment to visit her recently. Now, it's been a long time since we've been untrustworthy. Besides, they are both sisters of the past, so they can gather love."
There was no strangeness in Yu Zixia's indifferent smile. The more meaningless Song Jingran pretended, the more he became more concerned. No matter how well she concealed her, she could not hide the truth of her expression.
Song Jingran nodded and said, "Then you go and prepare first, I will come and pick you up later."
Since he already knew, he didn't need to hide it. He only knew that Yu Zixia and Shuangmuzi had a disagreement, but he didn't know the reason. But now they are all married, and I think they won't care about the past disagreement. Besides, he just happened to talk to Gao Jin about things.
