Chapter 83 Barr
In the warm pavilion, Ji Ruxue was still wondering what Xiao Yan meant by his silence, but the empress smiled carefreely and then spoke.

"Miao Chengtian, immediately draft a formal document stating that the various buildings in Huanyinfang can accommodate the bad people, Tian Anxing Xiao Yan, to draw up a list and place bad people there."

Outside the pavilion, Miao Chengtian was stunned at first, then hesitated for a moment, and immediately began to make arrangements.

After a while, a maid brought paper and inkstone, and Miao Chengtian wrote it neatly and handed it into the warm pavilion.

The empress took a quick look at it, then took out a seal from her sleeve and stamped it on it.

Then, she looked at Xiao Yan and said, "I have shown enough sincerity. Captain Xiao, do you still want to hide your incompetence?"

"King Qi is open-minded."

Xiao Yan smiled, and did not rush to get the document, and spoke slowly.

"What the King of Qi is worried about is not difficult to resolve. If Zhu Wen has a reason to send troops to Hedong, Qi will be safe. The King of Qi can even march into Guanzhong..."

In the pavilion, Ji Ruxue was listening intently. She was startled at this moment and the tea almost scalded her wrist.

The empress frowned, not paying attention to this detail, and asked, "Diverting the trouble to the east?"

"King Qi is wrong. We are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty. Now Zhu Wen wants to start a war, and King Jin is a great man in the world. Naturally, he is willing to share some of the pressure for King Qi."

"How to do?"

Xiao Yan pointed at the documents on the table and squinted his eyes: "When I finish this matter, I will tell King Qi the inside story."

The empress pondered for a moment, and then pushed it to him.

"This king can ask Miao Chengtian and Ji Ruxue to arrange this matter."

Xiao Yan put the document that looked like a handwritten document into his arms, stood up and saluted: "I will let King Qi know that cooperating with me will bring all kinds of benefits and no harm."

"That's all I wish for." The empress waved her hand magnanimously, and then asked Ji Ruxue to see her off.

However, before Xiao Yan was about to step down the steps of the warm pavilion, she suddenly called him to stop.

"There is still one thing that Tian Anxing has not explained."

"King Qi, please speak."

"Where is the real emperor now?"

"You don't have to worry about that, King Qi." Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then turned his head slightly, smiled, and said, "The bad people will protect the emperor."

"..."

The empress sat in the pavilion holding a teacup. She frowned slightly when she saw the two people walking away.

At the same time, she noticed that the charming woman with long pink hair gave her an inexplicable smile before leaving with Xiao Yan and Ji Ruxue.

"King Qi..."

Miaochengtian and Fanyintian looked at each other and asked for instructions with their fists clasped.

"Pass on this king's order to summon the two armies of Zhangyi in Jingzhou and Jingnan in Bingzhou to station in Fufeng, so that they can support Qianzhou at any time. At the same time, order the Baoda army to move to Fangzhou and the Baosai army to move to Fuzhou to prevent the Liang army from invading from Jiangzhou."

"Follow the order."

"besides……"

The empress covered her eyes and said, "Find a way to check on the woman next to Xiao Yan. I sense a dangerous aura from her."

Fan Yintian was stunned for a moment, and said incredulously: "King Qi, with your strength, is it possible that you still..."

Although Miao Chengtian's eyes narrowed slightly, he immediately pulled her and then responded respectfully: "I will do my best to check."

The two women left immediately, and the empress still sat at the table, pondering.

"What does he want?"

------

Hedong, Jin State.

Taiyuan.

Although it was the beginning of spring, there were still piles of dirty snow on the side of the road, which had been trampled into mud. There were a few piles of fresh horse manure in between, emitting wisps of heat.

In front of the commander's mansion, the servant pushed open the corner door, but was frowned by the smell of horse manure in the air.

In fact, the smell was not strong, but he still covered his mouth and nose exaggeratedly. When he looked carefully, he saw a skinny horse tied to the horse post at the gate of the Duwei Mansion. "Eat dog intestines!"

He was immediately furious and cursed: "Whose horse is it that is so blind to tie it here? And it has even left horse manure all over the ground. How many heads are there to chop off?!"

In fact, his voice was not loud at first, but when he saw a figure rushing towards him from an alley in the distance, his voice became louder.

This was because the person who came had a hunched back, was dressed very poorly, and had a dark face.

The servant's back instantly became as stiff as it could be, and he cursed: "Old man, is this your horse?! Do you know that this is the residence of the commander of the Jin king, the commander of the Zhechou, the commander of the Barba!"

"It is my mount." The old man was timid. His face turned pale when he heard what happened next. He kept explaining, "I was just leading the horse over there, but I felt that my crotch couldn't hold the shit anymore, so I had to tie it here and go over there to poop..."

"Your mother's maid!"

The servant had already walked down the stairs, and wanted to teach the old man a lesson and then extort him a good deal. But when he heard this, he suddenly felt unlucky.

Especially looking at the old man's dirty hands, who knows if there is anything dirty on them, he kicked them immediately.

"Don't touch me, old man! Get out of here!"

The old man was already hunched over, and after being kicked in the waist, he did not dare to delay. He led the horse away a little, then squatted on the side of the road, rubbing his waist gently and uttering a wail.

Veins bulged on the servant's forehead, but before he could pick up his stick to chase him away, the steward had already walked out of the corner gate.

"What happened?"

"That old thing..."

"That's enough." The steward frowned, looked up at the old man walking away, and said, "Why bother with these things? The captain will go on a business trip later. Please clean the door and don't let the captain feel an eyesore."

The servant responded repeatedly, and then when he looked around, he saw that the old man was almost invisible.

After a long time, the side door opened, and several strong men in dark robes and black leather armor came out, leading horses.

Then, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, wearing a cross-collared dark martial robe and black iron arm guards, came out, surrounded by servants from the mansion.

A Shatuo woman followed behind and reluctantly saw them off.

"My dear, please take good care of yourself when you go to Youzhou."

"Go back, and don't mention the word 'Youzhou' to outsiders."

Bal's expression was a little gloomy and he looked particularly unhappy.

Before the woman could say more, he pushed her away.

In his opinion, this trip to Youzhou was just to run errands for the Holy Lord in order to eliminate the bad reputation of regicide that he had left in Luoyang for no reason.

He thought carefully about the task that Li Siyuan had assigned to him that day, and then led a few followers, mounted their horses, and rode away in a cloud of dust.

The boy stuttered as he bent over by the side of the road, holding a broom. Although he saw that Bal didn't even glance at him, he was still very proud of himself in his heart.

He watched the majestic Captain Ba go away, but saw a hunchbacked figure riding a skinny horse slowly following him.

"what……"

The servant rubbed his eyes in doubt, only to find that he seemed to be seeing things.

Don't let him meet that old guy again!

……

Because of his dual identities as the commander of the Zhechoufu and the head of the three generals under the Li Gate of the Tongwenguan, Bal led his men all the way north without any obstruction.

When they reached Yanmen Pass, he led his men to stay in an inn for the night.

At night, there was a knock on the door.

"Captain, would you like some dinner? The postmaster specially ordered the kitchen to prepare it..."

"Bring it in."

The door was pushed open, and a young waiter holding a lunch box in his hand turned around and gently closed the door.

During this time, he didn't let Bal see the corners of his mouth gradually rising.
