Chapter 37: Hostage Change

Long Wei people: "......." ”

Qiu Yebai stopped, turned to look at Han Zhong, and smiled: "Please." ”

Seeing the opponent's ability again, the faces of everyone in the council hall changed, Han Zhong had to grit his teeth and take a few steps forward: "Wait a minute, Lord Qiu, Han Zhong and the others don't mean this, they just want to ask you to do this favor and exchange the grain and grass for our people after they are delivered!" ”

She withdrew her hand and curled the corners of her lips slightly in mockery: "I don't think I can do it." ”

"Ahh

The few people standing by the door instantly felt a cold air blowing in front of them, and they were thrown away at once, and they fell out of the door with a 'bang'.

Autumn Leaf Bai's eyes were cold, and he suddenly raised his hand and flicked at them unceremoniously.

Han Zhong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Qiu Yebai to leave when he said to go, he frowned, those generals understood, and a few people close to the door immediately drew their knives and blocked Qiu Yebai.

After that, as soon as she turned around, she brushed her sleeves and walked out of the door, Ning Qiu and Ning Chun both snorted coldly, and also left with Qiu Yebai.

She smiled slightly, her eyes were cold: "Then this seat will stay in the Governor's Mansion obediently as you asked yesterday, and will not go anywhere, just waiting for your triumphant return." ”

She only turned a blind eye to those suspicious and gloomy gazes, just looked at Han Zhong, and said lightly: "Captain Han, I don't know why Anna Jiuye knows that I have arrived in the eastern province of Guangdong, but I know that it is not a secret that ten big ships are parked on the open dock, and I don't know why he designated me to deliver the letter, if you think that this seat is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason." ”

At the same time, he also insisted on getting rid of Akiba Bai, after all, 'in public and private', they all have a reason to get rid of Akiba Bai in a 'righteous' way.

But a letter from the Miao people last night directly made them completely doubt Qiu Yebai's intentions in transporting grain and grass this time.

They originally felt that although Qiu Yebai had a dislike for his master, he finally overcame all difficulties to send grain and grass, and he wanted to cut off this person like the prison army that cut off the five princes, and they felt a little sorry.

The rest of the dragon guard generals and staff members present looked at Autumn Leaves with a white look in their eyes.

His words seem to be defending Qiu Ye Bai, but in fact, he is simply satirizing the words that Qiu Ye Bai said yesterday, and he almost wants to deduct the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason on her head.

Han Yu sneered lightly: "Why should Lord Governor and the people around you be angry, since you have sent grain and grass to the Miao people, I believe it will not be given to the Miao people

The captain had experienced a hundred battles, but he was forced by Ning Qiu's calm gaze, and he was speechless for a while.

Ning Qiu's eyes were cold, and he coldly swept over the captain: "Do you fucking say it again?" "I just don't know if our Longwei people can really put it back after we send this grain and grass over." A school captain said in a weird way.

He looked at Qiu Yebai and smiled slightly: "Oh, that's really a coincidence, they actually asked the Governor to personally escort the grain and grass over, it must be an old man meeting?" “

Han Zhongyuan thought that Qiu Yebai would definitely deny it, after all, when he was so sensitive, he actually admitted it?

Qiu Yebai was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, looking at Long Wei's countless suspicious and suspicious eyes, she was silent for a while, and said calmly: "Yes, I once went to Miao Jiang when I was young, and I not only knew this Ah Na Jiuye, but also recognized the Gu King of Miao Jiang. “

But when Ning Qiu looked at it, Qiu Yebai, who had always been calm on weekdays, looked a little in a trance this time, and if she wanted to say that she didn't know this Ah Na Jiuye, probably no one would believe it.

The two of them were anxious, and they couldn't help but want to signal Akiba Bai not to admit it.

Autumn leaves white this part of the past, if it is not handled carefully, it is easy to be used as a handle, if you are charged with treason against the enemy, it will be troublesome.

Ning Chun and Ning Qiu knew that Qiu Yebai had traveled all over the world with the old immortal, and they also knew that the Gu King of Miao Jiang was still friends with the old immortal.

Han Zhong looked at her expression, and a cold light appeared in his eyes: "What, does the Duke really know this person?" “

Hearing this, Akiba Bai's figure paused slightly, and a touch of astonishment appeared on his face.

Han Zhong looked at Qiu Yebai, a glint flashed in his slender eyes, and said lightly: "That's a fierce general under the banner of Rong Naiya, the king of the Han Dynasty, named Anna Jiuye, generally only called General Ana, young, although not tall, but extremely brave. “

Qiu Yebai had already endured any eyes and gazes from the court, and at this moment, he directly ignored these gazes, only looked at Han Yu and said lightly: "Who is the other party's general, what is it called?" “

Her sharp and cruel gaze stunned the generals who were accustomed to bloody killings, and they also put away their contempt, but looked at them cautiously.

The surrounding staff and generals all looked at Qiu Yebai with unpredictable eyes, their hostility made Ning Chun and Ning Qiu's faces also harden, they were already people in the rivers and lakes, not ordinary maidservants, they were all bloodstained with blood, not to be outdone, especially Ning Qiu originally presided over the Tibetan Sword Pavilion with Ning Dong, since she had another momentum, she took two steps away and looked around coldly.

He still smiled politely, but there were thorns in every sentence, which made people feel harsh when they listened to it. "Xiaguan was also very surprised to receive such a request, you are Shangguan who lives in Shangjing, how did the other party know you, and know so accurately that you arrived yesterday." Han Yu looked at Autumn Yebai standing in the hall and smiled.

Governor's Palace, Council Hall.

......" Yes. "Han Yu was very neat this time, taking the lead in the front.

Qiu Yebai looked at the suspicious cold gaze of Han Yu and the dragon guards behind him, and she narrowed her eyes slightly: "Take this seat to see your family governor." “

He paused, and then sneered lightly: "Forgive me for being rude, when I saw such a request, I thought you had an acquaintance among the rebels in Southern Xinjiang. “

Han Yu looked at her with a strange expression: "What, don't you know what it means, it is clearly written on it, there are 2,000 people in the Longwei Vanguard who are trapped on Longgang Mountain in the enemy's sphere of influence, we have rescued three times but have not been able to, and now both the enemy and us are short of food and clothing, and the other party asks the Duke to personally receive the food and send it over, and they will hand it over with one hand and deliver it with the other." “

Qiu Yebai saw that his expression was different, so she opened the military newspaper first, but after the first look, she couldn't help but have a strange look and suspicion on her face: "What does this mean?" “

Han Yu looked at Qiu Yebai, this Qiu Dugong was really as sharp as the legend, and he tugged at the corner of his lower lip: "Your Excellency will understand if you look at it first." “

When Qiu Yebai heard this, he raised his eyebrows while taking the military newspaper and said: "It's really a rare thing, didn't Lord Han's play yesterday just want this seat to stay away from your military newspaper, but today he took the initiative to send it over?" “

As he spoke, he handed over the things in his hand.

The man in Tsing Yi was also in his thirties, and when he saw that she was talking with a little thorn, he didn't care, so he only said politely: "Forgive me, yesterday was in Han Yu abruptly, but Lord Du Wei received an urgent military report and ordered it to be sent to you." “

Qiu Yebai looked at the swollen right side of his face, and smiled slightly: "This gentleman was injured yesterday and is not in the house today, so he came in such a hurry to find this seat, but what is the matter?" “

But she didn't want her and Ning Qiu and Ning Chun to finish cleaning up and were about to go out, when she saw a staff member beside Han Zhong leading people over in a hurry, just stopping her way.

She still owes him a favor after all, and she always needs to visit.

After Akiba Bai simply used the breakfast that could hardly be called an early breakfast sent by Long Wei, he planned to go to see Mei Su's injury, although the burns on his back were with a good purple jade cream, but after scabbing these days, he still couldn't move, and could only lie on his stomach to recuperate.

Early the next morning, it began to rain in the sky.

……*……*……*……*……*……

In one place, two thoughts, the undercurrent is gradually surging.

……

If Long Wei's people had such an calculation in their hearts, she would not be patient and become a stepping stone for others to show their 'loyalty to the monarch' and 'iron bones'.

She snorted lightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "We took such a big risk to cross the sea and come here, not to kick people into the urn after delivering food." "What if they prepared it for you?" Bai Li Chu reached out and picked up a strand of her black hair to play with, and asked with a smile.

Long Wei is so ironclad, Baili Lingfeng is really a good means, of course, there is also the secret connivance of his 'eldest sister'.

Hearing this, Qiu Yebai was silent for a while, and sneered faintly: "Your Royal Highness is a good means, I hope they don't want to prepare a pure gold urn for me." "Because of the violent disease, the bones were temporarily burned to ashes, and at the time of triumph, they were sent back to the capital in a pure gold box, and the ceremony was grand." Bai Li Chu raised his eyes to look at her and smiled meaningfully.

Baili Chu will not bring up this topic for no reason.

She was stunned for a moment, and then a deep gaze flashed in her bright eyes: "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"

"He fell ill and died in the army." The corners of the lips are delicately hooked at the beginning of the hundred miles.

When Akiba Bai heard this, he also said with interest: "And then? ”

Baili Chu put down the empty white porcelain bowl, stroked the edge of the bowl with his fingertips, and suddenly said: "A few years ago, there was also a prison soldier who was sent to the Dragon Guard, who was the fifth oldest. ”

But she knew what it meant to accept it when she saw it, so she turned the topic back to the topic: "Long Wei's current situation is special, I don't think they necessarily like me to participate in the 'prison army'. ”

Qiu Yebai caught a glimpse of the reddish ears on the side of his mask, and the back of the plain white hand holding the bird's nest bowl burst out of a green tendon, so he couldn't help the smile on the corner of his lips.

This time it was Bailichu's turn not to speak, he turned his face to look out the window, and said faintly: "The moonlight is good today." ”

Qiu Yebai felt that the smile under his mask was so beautiful that she was a little hairy, but the next moment her heart moved, and she suddenly raised her eyebrows: "Why don't you continue to teach the military division to appreciate the 'broad and profound' of my Chinese culture, and there are still a lot of tricks at the bottom of the box, and I haven't practiced for a long time?" ”

From 'Hongu' to 'Lower Official'?

Baili Chu suddenly looked at her and smiled gently: "My lord really understands the lower officials, how can the lower officials repay their confidants?" ”

Seeing Shuangbai's heavy back leave, Qiu Yebai shook his head and drank the bird's nest, unlucky child, it is not good for him to have such a master who must be compared.

Akiba Bai: "......." ”

Shuangbai: "......." ”

Bai Li Chu glanced at him, and said lightly: "The urine bucket in the white room of the white seventeenth road of the branches and leaves yesterday has not been emptied, so you can go and show the love of your colleagues." ”

Shuangbai couldn't help but nod his head on the side, like pounding garlic, incisive, too incisive.

That kind of god life is really boring, how can she be worthy of the virtue of the god wasting a long time on you if you mortals don't have some fun, and it's not the first time she has learned it.

He is not the kind of person who tosses things around just for revenge, but someone who doesn't think it's a big deal.

He had already vaguely revealed this meaning between his own words, didn't he remember his virtue when she was her?

Qiu Yebai also picked up the bird's nest and said while eating: "According to your virtue, do you want to see the expression of the Du family when they found out one day that the dog they had was actually a wolf that could eat people, and would eat them anytime and anywhere?" ”

Baili Chu looked at Qiu Yebai and narrowed his charming eyes: "What does Xiaobai want to say?" ”

"Poof......." Shuangbai couldn't help but laugh, and then immediately shut up and silenced under Baili's gloomy gaze.

Weasels give New Year's greetings to chickens?

Qiu Yebai looked at the expression on his face and shook his head: "Your Highness, you are not convincing at all to say such things with this kind of weasel expression of greeting chickens." ”

Baili Chu took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "When the eighth child came to the palace to ask for a handful of snot and tears when he came to the palace to serve, he was a pitiful one, and the palace naturally couldn't let that little young seedling break, right?" ”

With such a brother and brother, she really can't see it.

Qiu Yebai was stunned for a moment, looked at the first half of the hundred miles, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Why?" ”

"When did Your Highness be so kind-hearted?"

Hearing this, Shuangbai said lightly: "If it weren't for His Highness's secret escort all the way, it would be impossible for His Royal Highness to survive in the army until now, and there would be no Dragon Guard." ”

They are more like the private soldiers of the hundred miles of the wind, and then the brave army of the empire.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and sneered lightly: "Such a brave army that looks decisive at first glance, but there is no imperial power in their eyes, then it only means that they probably only have their generals in their eyes." ”

This feeling made her feel that they, outsiders, would never be able to enter this army, nor would they be able to touch their core.

But the dragon guards were different, even when they saw her, the official of the capital who represented the eyes and ears of the emperor, their expressions did not change at all, there was no respect, no fear, no contempt and slack.

I have to say that they are quite successful.

Otherwise, the Queen Mother and the Du family would not have grasped the Shingon Palace and public opinion in their hands, and the only thing in this world that can be higher than the imperial power is the divine power.

Although the emperor has not had any sense of existence since the defeat more than 20 years ago, the royalists still have a sense of survival, and the ideas of orthodoxy and divine power will always exist in the hearts of many people, even those ministers who support the Du family.

But after she pondered for a moment, she still said, "They only have a hundred miles of wind in their hearts, and there is no emperor. ”

Qiu Ye Bai was stunned, she didn't expect Baili Chu to ask like this.

Bai Lichu suddenly sandwiched a chopstick fish in the bowl and handed it to her, and said lightly: "What do you think of Long Wei?" ”

She bowed her head thoughtfully: "I see. ”

Qiu Yebai remembered that Yibai was poisoned by the sea snake, if ordinary people heard that it would attack his heart with poisonous blood in less than half an hour, he could survive for so long, presumably because the people of the Eighteen Divisions of Hewei were all in the underground palace and had more or less practiced a physique that could resist poison.

"There are some places in the Lingnan Mountains and forests that are full of miasma, and no one dares to go in, but it is not a problem for Hewei, the corpse poison in the underground palace is much more powerful than these things." Shuangbai said with a smile,

"There's still game in the mountains?" She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, Long Wei's people have eaten porridge and pickles, and the things in the mountains haven't been wiped out yet?

Shuangbai seemed to see her doubts, and said while making vegetables: "This is game from the nearby mountains." ”

But where did these things come from?

She said that this carnivorous beast would change its temperament and eat vegetarian and endure hunger, and it turned out that eating green oranges was appetizing.

Akiba Bai: "......." ”

Baili Chu put on a pair of light gloves and said lightly: "I'm not hungry." ”

"Strategist, please use it."

As soon as Autumn Leaves finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door, and then Shuangbai, who pushed the door in, came in with a roast duck that had been sliced and several grilled fish, and there were even two bowls of bird's nest on it.

She didn't care if they used so much stuff today, but she couldn't be hungry at the beginning of a hundred miles.

When she was discovered, she put her fist on her lips and coughed lightly: "Well, is the military advisor hungry?" ”

"What are you looking at, don't you want to think about how to deal with these dragon guards?" Bai Li Chu seemed to feel that she was staring at him in a daze, and he slowly and methodically pushed a piece of orange into his lips.

But such a picture appeared on Baili Chu's body, and she always felt a little out of place, like His Royal Highness Regent, he should always be lazily crooked on the couch, enjoying sitting on his knees and peeling oranges and feeding him.

Autumn leaves white looked at the hundred miles that were elegantly peeling a green orange, and the beauty under the lamp peeled the green orange with her hands, and her fingers were dyed bright red, which was really a very beautiful painting.

A candle flame danced gently over the candlestick.

……*……*……*……*……

Han Zhong nodded, motioning for him to give the letter to the rest of the people one by one, and at the same time his eyes were shining: "But we still have to make better plans in case of accidents." ”

The Tsing Yi staff member who was called Yunjiang opened the letter and looked at it, and his expression showed a little strangeness: "This ...... It's no wonder we're not going to be able to do it. ”

Han Zhong immediately handed him the letter in his hand, and said with a meaningful smile: "Yunjiang, look at it, on the battlefield, the enemy situation is changing rapidly, and there are always some special changes, not to mention that this is a matter caused by our supervisor himself, no wonder our Long Wei is ruthless." ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and the staff in Tsing Yi immediately said: "Oh, how do you say it? ”

Han Zhong took it apart and took a look, and after a while, his slender eyes instantly flashed bright, stroked the short hair on his chin, and laughed: "Hehe, it really takes no effort to get here, we don't have to personally bear the charge of beheading the prison army in front of the battle." ”

A herald hurriedly entered and handed the letter in his hand to Han Zhong.

Han Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said, "Come in." ”

When everyone was discussing how to do it, they suddenly saw a notice from outside the door: "Lord Captain, urgent military situation!" ”

As long as it is for the sake of the Eighth Highness and for the prosperity of the Tianji Empire, what is it to sacrifice them?

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and they all saw calmness and death in each other's eyes, and they all raised their hands and clenched their fists: "It's all according to the orders of the captain!" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, but the Tsing Yi staff chuckled: "What are you afraid of, it's not the first time we've done it, when didn't Long Wei's people tie their heads to their belts?" ”

Killing the prison army in battle is by no means a trivial matter, once the flaws are exposed, it is a contempt for the imperial power, but a matter of losing the head or even killing the three clans.

"This matter has nothing to do with His Royal Highness, His Highness is still on the way here, how do you know what happened to us here, do you have such an awareness?" Han Zhong's eyes were cold, and he looked around at everyone.

The Tsing Yi staff was silent for a while, and still asked, "Where is the Eighth Highness, ......." ”

Seeing that the expressions on everyone's faces gradually became gloomy, Han Zhong bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you also have the same consensus as me, very good." ”

"Does Akiba Bai look like a person with such a noble character?" Han Zhong looked around at everyone again.

He supports His Highness's accession to the throne, not only does he not do any good, but he is also likely to face the fear of his life, even if he is as firm as they believe that His Highness is the master of the Zhongxing Empire, but who would be stupid and selfless to sacrifice for his political enemies to this point?

Yes, with their former new hatred of the dragon guard and the celebrant eunuch, why does Akiba Bai support His Highness's accession to the throne, not to mention who he is, just say that he supports His Highness's accession to the throne, so that His Highness can settle the past?

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

His voice became colder and colder: "Such a person who has a former grudge with His Highness stays under the wings of the Mingguang Palace, do you think he will allow His Highness the Mingguang Palace, who originally looked coldly at the battle for the throne, to support His Highness to ascend the throne?" ”

Originally, he had never moved the murderous intent, but after a recent battle, he deeply felt that this person was too much of a threat to His Eighth Highness.

He paused, and showed a wry smile: "Don't you understand, the more capable Qiu Yebai is, and even the more 'righteous and thin' he makes everyone return to their hearts, it proves that he is extremely skilled and thoughtful." ”

When Han Zhong heard this, he narrowed his slender and cold eyes, and sighed a little helplessly: "What you said, how can Captain Pontus not understand." ”

Long Wei has always been known for his self-discipline, strict military discipline, ability to fight tough battles, and awe-inspiring righteousness.

When the other staff members heard this, a different color appeared on their faces.

Today's temptation and suppression can be said to be to prevent them from abusing their power to meddle in military affairs at will, but now that people's food has finally arrived, they will kill people with their backhand, no matter how it feels, it feels a little despicable.

The soldiers who escorted the grain and grass together also described the various matters of Akiba Bai going into the tiger's den alone to protect the safety of everyone and ten boats of grain in the dangerous battle at sea, and even the elite soldiers who were the Eight Highnesses were full of praise for Akiba Bai and they were all admired.

Today, they also saw that the celebrant and the supervisor were all somewhat scarred, and even the grain transport officer of the Mei family was burned on his back by artillery fire, and he couldn't get out of bed at the moment, so he was carried off the boat.

The Tsing Yi staff still disagreed: "The Yecheng garrison has not found the body now, we can't be sure that it was done by Qiu Yebai and the celebrant supervisor, Qiu Yebai and the arrogant and domineering prison army of the five princes are different after all, but they do brave the wind and waves at sea and the pirate crisis to transport food for us, isn't it a bit unrighteous for us to do this?" ”

Especially the mention of those missing Yecheng garrisons, it still makes their hearts ache.

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and their expressions fell into deep thought.

Han Zhong turned to look at everyone, raised his sword eyebrows, and looked cold: "Do you think that Bendu Wei doesn't know, this person is a traitorous villain, when he took refuge in the Du family, His Royal Highness had designed him in Huainan to seize the account book of the Queen Mother's collusion with foreign households to be greedy for ink, in order to bring down the Du family, but then he backhanded His Royal Highness and was imprisoned, Li Mu's letter even mentioned that this person may kill my Yecheng Longwei garrison, has long been with my Longwei Commandery, the old hatred and new hatred, and the grudge is deep, do you think this person will allow His Highness to ascend the throne?" ”

The staff members are civil officials in the end, although their rank is not high, but they still know a lot about the situation in the DPRK and China, and they are all a little skeptical about Han Zhong's choice.

"Doesn't it add danger to His Highness's path to becoming a prince?"

"That master is unpredictable and extremely favored, her position is unclear now, if she offends ......."

"Qiu Yebai was able to take refuge in the Du family, and betrayed the Du family, and was included in the wings of the master of the Mingguang Palace regardless of his previous suspicions, he stepped on the Du family all the way, and forced the Queen Mother to close the palace, I am afraid that the person behind it is the Mingguang Palace."

The rest of the staff also had a worried look on their faces.

"But...... Do you want to report this matter to Your Highness? The Tsing Yi staff was stunned and hesitated.
