Qi Xun didn't go to see Liu Rong in the end, but was called away.

Prince Shou sat at the top, and at the bottom of him sat Liu Zhen, Qi Xun and other important generals.

"This time the counterattack of the Beiliang and Qianghu tribes, do you have any good countermeasures?"

Liu Zhen got up and clasped his fists in salute.

"Lord Wang, the minister sent to Beiliang and the Qianghu clan came back and said that the patriarch of the Qianghu tribe had already had the intention of withdrawing from the war because of the successive defeats, and this counterattack was just for the king of Beiliang.

Therefore, the minister felt that he could take advantage of this to turn the king of Beiliang against the Qianghu tribe, and when they fought with the mussels, we could take advantage of the fisherman. ”

Prince Shou was silent and turned his head to look at Qi Xun.

"What about Qi Shizi's opinion?"

Qi Xun glanced at Liu Zhen casually and said, "Marshal Liu, you believe that this news is true?"

Liu Zhen frowned, and asked unhappily: "What does Qi Shizi mean by this, is it possible to suspect that this is fake news?"

"It can't be ruled out that they are deliberately making a show for us", Qi Xun raised his eyebrows lightly, and said: "I got the news a few days ago that the reason why Beiliang and the Qianghu tribe joined forces to attack our Chu State is because there was a great drought in their respective countries, as well as an earthquake, which caused the grasslands to dry up, countless cattle and sheep died, and there was no grain harvest.

Seeing that winter is coming, if there is not enough food to survive the winter, their days, hum!"

Speaking of this, Qi Xun paused, and did not mean to say anything further, but everyone present understood.

Liu Zhen's eyes flashed with anger, and he couldn't wait to put on his armor and go into battle now to completely drive them out of the Chu State.

Prince Shou glanced at Qi Xun coldly, and said, "Qi Shizi hasn't said your countermeasures yet." ”

Qi Xun secretly scolded the old fox, even if he was reluctant at this time, he had to deal with it mentally.

"There are two countermeasures. ”

Prince Shou nodded with interest and motioned for Qi Xun to continue.

"First, the Qianghu tribe and Beiliang attacked our Chu State in order to grab food and survive the severe cold this year, and their cooperation is not unbreakable.

As long as we give one of them a big enough benefit, their relationship will naturally break down, and when one of them withdraws, the remaining party will naturally be easy to deal with, and it is only a matter of time before the lost town is recovered. ”

Qi Xun picked up the teacup and drank a few sips of hot tea, cleared his throat, and continued: "Second, in the battle of Taifeng Mansion, less than 30,000 of the 200,000 troops led by the King of Beiliang died.

This made several of his uncles very dissatisfied, if we send someone to provoke it, the King of Beiliang, whose strength has been greatly reduced, will not be able to take care of himself, how can he still have the heart to fight again, and it will be a matter of time before he retreats.

Of course, these two countermeasures need time to arrange, and at the moment of attacking them, only soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. ”

Liu Zhen originally had some contempt for Qi Xun, but after more than a month of working together, he put it away today, and sighed with admiration in his heart.

Prince Shou's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, he took a deep breath, and looked up and down at the young man in front of him.

"You two ideas, this king will consider reporting to Your Majesty", Prince Shou turned to the other general, and said, "Those wounded soldiers, you ······"

In the next discussion, Qi Xun did not interject, and only when Prince Shou mentioned his name did he express his opinion.

An afternoon passed, and it was not until the lamp was held that Prince Shou dissolved the meeting.

I returned to my residence tired, and lay on the bed after bathing before I remembered Liu Rong.

"Zhao Li. ”

Zhao Li, who was guarding outside, flashed in and saluted with his fists.

"Lord, what do you command?"

A suspicious flush appeared on Qi Xun Junlang's face, and he covered his mouth and pretended to cough a few times.

"Where did you place Miss Liu?"

Zhao Li smiled ambiguously, "The subordinates arranged for Miss Liu to live in Tingyuxuan, but the lord wants to find Miss Liu to come over?"

Qi Xun coughed violently, and the fake cough turned into a real cough, and he raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Li, who was gossipy.

Didn't say angrily: "Ahem...... , you get out of here. ”

Zhao Li smiled, "Yes, my subordinates will get out." ”

When he rolled out of the door, he kindly closed the door.

Qi Xun lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, got up upset, picked up the coat on the hanger and put it on.

opened the door, wandered around aimlessly, and unconsciously walked to the door of Tingyuxuan.

The night watchman covered her mouth and yawned, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes by the way, and vaguely saw Qi Xun, thinking that she had seen it wrong, she rubbed her eyes, and the person before meeting was really Qi Xun, and she knelt on the ground in fright.

Qi Xun made a shushing gesture at her, and the maid hurriedly closed her mouth, not daring to make a sound.

"Miss Liu is asleep?" The voice was very soft, for fear of waking up the people inside.

The maid nodded.

He looked up at the moon overhead, sighed, and turned to leave.

The maid looked at Qi Xun in the distance in confusion, and then turned her head to look at the closed door again.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Rong stretched her waist in good spirits, looked down at Liu Chaoyang, who was kicking the quilt, smiled, and lightly put his hands and feet into the quilt.

Zhao Xue heard the movement in the house and came in with toiletries in her hands.

"The girl woke up. ”

"Well, by the way, Zhao Xue, I ......" Liu Rong looked around with an unnatural expression, her palms sweating nervously.

Zhao Xue waited for a while, but didn't hear the following, and burst out laughing.

"Is the girl looking for the Lord?"

Liu Rongqiao's face was slightly red, she glanced at Zhao Xue, and she was not nervous, nodding generously.

"I want to meet Brother Huaiyuan and thank him in person. By the way, trouble him again and help Liuya find her brother.

In the last sentence, Liu Rong only whispered silently in her heart.

"The slave will go to Brother Zhao Li, and the girl will wash and eat first. Zhao Xue put down the basin in her hand, smiled and blessed her body, and turned to leave.

Liu Rong opened her mouth, wanting to tell her that she didn't need to be in such a hurry, but unfortunately she walked too fast.

Qi Xun was just about to go out, and when he heard that Liu Rong was looking for him, he was inexplicably happy in his heart, and he walked in the direction of Tingyuxuan.

Zhao Li and Zhao Gao hurriedly followed.

Stepping into Tingyuxuan, the first thing that came into view was an ugly girl gently coaxing the little boy to eat, and there was an ordinary girl about ten years old at the bottom of her right.

Qi Xun frowned slightly, and looked at Liuya and Liu Chaoyang unhappily, the two of them were very eyesore.

Zhao Xue found out that the lord was not good, and she was amused, took the bowl in Liu Rong's hand, picked up Liu Chaoyang, bowed her head and said to Liuya: "Liuya, the girl has something to talk about with the master, let's go out to eat." ”

Liuya looked up at Qi Xun at the door, and her ordinary face showed obsession, "Sister, big brother looks good." ”

Liu Rong twitched the corner of her mouth, hurriedly covered her small mouth, and looked at Qi Xun helplessly.

Qi Xunjun's face sank, and he looked at her with a smile.
