099:

Xingqi is the second barrier to the east of Yongdu, the capital of Wei, Xingqi past, it is Luyang, Luyang past, it is Yongdu, and the distance from Xingqi to Yongdu is less than 100 miles.

For more than a month, King Shen and Xue Zhen, as well as the father and son of the king of Xining County, led the troops three ways, all the way to the ground, plus Wei ** In addition to the number of dead and wounded, there are also people stationed in various places, when the three-way army converges outside Xingqi City, there are only more than 300,000 troops left, seeing that the army of Chu has approached Yongdu, Emperor Wei sent people to sue for peace several times, but they were all refused, and reluctantly released the imprisoned Zhao Qi to lead the troops, Zhao Qi led Yongdu and the last 400,000 Wei troops that could be mobilized around it, and stopped the Chu army outside Xingqi.

Due to the special geographical location, Xing Qi is like a natural barrier near Yongdu, the surrounding area is nearly a hundred miles of steep mountains, except for the capture of Xing Qi, there is no way to directly enter Yongdu, originally there were heavy troops stationed here, plus Zhao Qi transferred troops from other places, as well as his outstanding military talent, so he stubbornly blocked the 300,000 army outside Xingqi City.

For five whole days, the two armies confronted each other, but they did not fight, so they dragged on.

However, in the past few days, the secret guards sent by Zhao Qi to burn the grain and grass of the Chu army have come several times, but none of them can go back alive, and the grain and grass are safe and sound.

When Rong Zhi and Lou Yueqing received the news and rushed to Xing Qicheng from Yunan Pass, it was already five days later.

Originally, from Yunanguan to Xingqi, it would take two days to arrive quickly, but Rong Zhi had to take her in a carriage, so he didn't arrive in Xingqi until the fifth day.

Today's 300,000 Chu troops are stationed less than ten miles away from Xingqi City.

As soon as Rong Zhi arrived in the camp, he directly entered the camp with King Shen and others to discuss matters, Lou Yueqing had nothing to do, and after letting the secret guards report to Rong Zhi, he took Mo Li and Ming Shu and a few other secret guards and rode out of the barracks.

From the last time I wanted to see Chu Jing when I wanted to see him, the current Xiyan can be described as haggard and thin.

Rao is very deep in her heart, and now seeing her like this, Lou Yueqing feels distressed.

It is said that when Xiyan was rescued, he was dying, half of his life was gone, and his body was covered with scars, obviously he was tortured, and he was raised in Yongdu for nearly a month before he recovered.

Because he was married to her, Zhao Qi could not escape the suspicion of killing his father, and the new emperor was afraid of him, so Zhao Qi was locked up when he returned to Beijing for funeral, and was not pardoned by the new emperor until ten days ago.

Quietly looking at Xiyan, who had been sitting below with his eyes down silently, Lou Yueqing asked lightly: "Say, why do you want to do this? Do you know that you are likely to die if you do this?"

Under the circumstances at that time, Zhao Qi was unable to protect herself, and it was impossible to save her, even if she could be saved, Zhao Qi was not necessarily willing to risk the crime of killing her father to save her, if the people she sent did not arrive in time, or she was unwilling to send someone to rescue her because of the knot in her heart back then, Xiyan would definitely die.

Xiyan's eyes trembled slightly, and after a moment, he whispered: "Xiyan has never been afraid of death!"

Lou Yueqing twisted her eyebrows.

Xiyan raised his eyes, looked at Lou Yueqing calmly, and said slowly: "What's more, this is the best way, Emperor Wei is dead, the Wei State will inevitably be in chaos, the Chu State will no longer be passive, the master will not be embarrassed, as for me...... He is a sinner, and everything he does is just atonement, and life and death are not ......."

Lou Yueqing interrupted her last self-defeating sentence: "Enough!"

Sunset.

Lou Yueqing wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at her, and said in a deep voice: "Xiyan, I really don't understand you, you loved Zhao Qi back then, you didn't hesitate to betray me, you were desperate for him, and now you betray him for me, knowing that you would kill him by doing this, but you still killed his father without hesitation, and scarred yourself, do you know what you are doing?"

In fact, she can not get involved in this matter at all, Lou Yueqing didn't want her to help, originally, she just hoped that after the two Qings, she could live well, even if there was betrayal and injury, Lou Yueqing asked herself, it is impossible to care about the love of growing up together.

Still, she got involved.

Xiyan bit her lip, smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "Master, Xiyan doesn't want to lie to you, I do this, not just for the master, but also for myself!"

"For yourself?"

From beginning to end, Xiyan looked neither sad nor happy, and his voice was low and depressed, full of loss and self-deprecation: "He is no longer the high-spirited King Jing who cherished the world back then, and he is no longer the Zhao Qi who really treated me, now he is just an ambitious person who will do whatever it takes for the throne and power, what I once wanted, he can't give it anymore, instead of waiting for the dream to be disillusioned, it is better for me to destroy him with my own hands and end this bad relationship that should not exist!"

There is another thing she didn't say, originally, she was just dead, she could choose to leave Zhao Qi, with her ability, even if she couldn't go back to Biyue Palace, she could live a good life and be chic, but Zhao Qi wanted Lou Yueqing's life, how could she tolerate this?

When Lou Yueqing heard this, her eyes deepened, but she had to admit that this was the Xiyan she knew, daring to love and hate, and being able to afford it and let it go.

When you love, you can put everything out of your mind and be reckless, and when you don't love, you can also say that you can let go of it, and you won't drag it out, isn't that it?

Lou Yueqing sneered: "It's you yourself who was blinded by the love word, I told you that Zhao Qi is not simple when I sent you to Yongdu, but you still fell into it, and it is said that women are the most likely to lose their minds emotionally, this sentence is not false at all!"

Xiyan is very smart, her intelligence is not inferior to Mo Li, she is away all the year round, but she has never let herself down, but Lou Yueqing was very disappointed by the betrayal back then, and now, she is even more disappointed.

What is that called, angry and indisputable!
