In the afternoon of this day, King Ming was still sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the nine-song verandah in front of the sea viewing hall. But I saw that he was holding a small wine glass in his hand, and he took a sip from time to time, lazy and comfortable.

Thinking about the scene in Emperor Shengzhao's palace not long ago, although I was still a little surprised, I was more fortunate and satisfied.

The eldest princess Qianhua.

recalled that the eldest princess was cramped, but pitiful, and the smile on his lips overflowed.

Maybe it was because I wanted to stir up the water in this pool a little more turbid, so I wanted to deliberately get close to this lightweight eldest princess, but now it seems that marrying her home is not too bad.

King Ming was still secretly happy in his heart for his wise decision.

But what he was most interested in now was the painting that his aunt had sent him.

Why did Emperor Shengzhao immediately approve his request to Qin Jin as soon as he saw the portrait?

Although he also saw the person in the portrait at that time, he was only the first empress of Chu at all, but judging from Emperor Shengzhao's appearance at that time, in his eyes, internal troubles were more important than external worries.

But it is true that this is also the case, a powerful country like Chu is not afraid of foreign enemies invading and insulting, but only internal divisions, and it will mess up its position first.

If the eldest princess Qianhua inherits the throne after a hundred years of Emperor Chu, no matter what, the rivers and mountains of Chu will fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames, not to mention the left prime minister who is eyeing him.

Mountains and rivers give each other, no one in office can be so stupid.

Thinking about it this way, it makes sense that Emperor Shengzhao agreed to this family affair so smoothly.

After a glass of wine and drank it all, King Ming, who had figured it out, suddenly felt extremely happy.

Getting up and clasping the backs of his hands behind his back, he walked happily along the delicate cloister for a few games, playing a little song from time to time, teasing the fish frolicking in the water, and then went back to the house to get ready for a good night's sleep.

But when he opened the door, he saw a man sitting with his back to him.

From the back, it looks like an old man. It's just that his white hair is messy on his head, and his gray clothes are also tattered, looking like a poor beggar, only a jade wine gourd tied around his waist makes him look a little bit of downbeat and extravagant.

When King Ming saw this person, his body shook, closed the door behind him and walked towards the person, and then knelt down straight behind the person, and said, "Master!"

There was an uncontrollable tremor and excitement in his voice.

Three years ago, he was still a small prince, and he was ordered by his father to assist the general to go to the east to quell the rebellion, but he didn't want to go deep into the enemy camp and be detained. At the critical moment when thousands of arrows were fired, he was rescued, and that person was none other than the old man in front of him.

At that time, the king wanted to ask his name so that he could come to the door to thank him in the future, but he heard him say that he was a person who practiced magic, and he had no fixed place to live on weekdays, and only took pleasure in wandering around the world. Saving him was just a whim, it was just a coincidence, and there was no need to ask for his name.

Just when he was sighing, he suddenly saw a woman in red coming from behind, only to see her wearing a red veil, graceful and graceful, but dressed as a young woman.

Seeing King Ming on the side, he looked up and down for a while, and then turned to the old man and said, "I don't want to go back and find something for a while, but a lot of things have happened." ”

"Look at this handsome appearance, little brother, tell me who you are?" Without waiting for the old man to speak, the young woman stepped forward and said towards King Ming.

Those eyes were clear and bright, but there seemed to be something indescribable.

King Ming frowned slightly, this woman was also unruly. was about to refute her, but thinking of her relationship with her life-saving benefactor, she could only endure it.

The old man seemed to see King Ming's displeasure, and said to the woman, "Don't see anyone teasing like this." ”

After that, he said: "It's just a gesture, and when you wait for you, you happen to see everyone besieging him, and you can't get used to saving him." If you find something, let's go. Don't forget what we're out for. ”

"It's so impatient, but I think the scenery here is very good, and it's not bad to enjoy the scenery slowly. It doesn't hurt to delay it for two or three days, after all, it's not far off. The young woman looked left and right, as if there was some wonder in the forest.

"If you are not in a hurry, Mr. may wish to stay for a few more days, in recent days our army and the rebels have been fighting, the road is not very peaceful, although I know that Mr. has miraculous skills, but just in case, it is not too late to wait for a few days to defend more empty and then hurry......" Hearing the young woman say this, King Ming also said something.

However, what he thought, in addition to wanting to repay the old man's kindness, also wanted the old man to help him, but it was just inconvenient for him to speak at the first acquaintance.

"Are you a soldier?" asked the young woman.

"Don't hide this lady, I am Qi Mingyi, the third prince of Qi State. The old gentleman came to the rescue, and he was grateful, so he wanted to do his best......"

King Ming bowed slightly, but he missed the complicated look of surprise, deep thought, and pity in the young woman's eyes.

When he looked up, the young woman and the old man were already looking at each other.

Listen to the woman, "Let me listen to you." I said, let's go to the camp of Qi State for a walk and relax, after this long journey, it is time to rest and rectify. ”

After that, he let King Ming lead the way, but the old man couldn't resist her, so he had to follow.

The old man knew what the woman was thinking, so he could only shake his head and play with her. After all, this behavior is her, and if she stays here, even if he finds it, it will be of little use.

In this way, the two of them ate and drank in the tent of King Ming for two days, and they were originally peaceful, but who knew where the general got the evidence from nowhere, but it was to show that the king colluded with the rebels, and this time he was able to escape from the rebels, which was actually agreed to the condition of a nest with the rebels.

Only then did the two know that this prince was not doing as well as they imagined. Otherwise, how dare the general dare to pee on the prince's head?

The two of them ate other people's short mouths, how could they not help solve the difficulties when they encountered such a thing?

The final result was that the Ming king had to defeat the rebels within three days, otherwise he would collude with them.

Is this clearly deliberately making things difficult!

The Qi ** team has been here for half a month, and has fought against the rebels three times, but they have returned home every time.

A place that can't be captured in half a month, how can a prince of the deep palace who has never led troops be able to take it within three days?!

But this is something that is impossible with some people, but it is not necessarily.

Although the rebels have won many victories, and the previous times of encirclement and suppression have been unsuccessful, there is still a gap compared with the establishment and overall combat effectiveness of the regular army of Qi.

Their only advantage is that they are more familiar with the terrain of the mountains than the regular army, and they are more familiar with the characteristics of jungle warfare.

If you don't have this advantage, in the face of a large number of troops, coupled with the conceit of the rebels' pride and conceit, the odds of victory will be a few points higher.

So within three days, the woman disguised herself as a man and, under the guidance of the old man, trained the soldiers to master the key points of jungle warfare and adapt to the combat environment.

The old man used the information obtained from the previous wars and the Ming King to analyze it carefully, and taught him the key points and techniques of analyzing the war and leading the troops to fight.

Based on the information of the enemy and the local map of the jungle obtained from the previous battles, as well as the analysis of the topographic map of the mountains and forests discovered by the old man, he finally came up with a detailed battle plan within two days.

Sure enough, on the evening of the third day, the blow was successful, and Shun Lì took down the arrogant rebels for a long time.

And Qi Mingyi, the third prince of Qi State, also became famous through this battle, and he rose step by step and won the favor of the Emperor of Qi State.
