Inside the Great Tent of the Western Regions, a tense atmosphere filled the air. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Merchant." Chen Ling replied without hurry.
Qi Anzhi had already put away his expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and snorted coldly, "Merchant? Would a merchant have such an eye to know that I am the crown prince? Very few people know about my coming, so where did you get the news? "Is there a fine work around him?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that 'there are very few', I'm afraid it will have to be thoroughly investigated." Seeing his uncertain face, Chen Ling no longer looked at it, and continued, "Why didn't Your Highness listen to me talk about the transaction?" ”
Qi Anzhi was silent, his face was gloomy, and he had a rare ruthless appearance in his life.
Chen Ling smiled, "Then let me ask Your Highness first, Your Highness left this batch of good horses, in terms of Chu State, is it attacking the city or arranging defenses?" Seeing that Qi Anzhi didn't speak, he said again, "Your Highness, the facts are in front of you, with the current strength of the Chu State, if you want to attack the city and plunder the land, you don't have the strength, although the development of the Chu State should not be underestimated, but it is far from the strength of Qi!" ”
Hearing this, Qi Anzhi smiled contemptuously, "What does Childe mean is that since there is a result if you can't prevent it, it's better not to prevent it?" So these three thousand good horses are still sold to the son as soon as possible? ”
Chen Ling could see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Chu State had anger in his eyes. "No, no, I made a deal with His Highness with these three thousand good horses, His Highness has wanted to attack the Qi Kingdom for a long time, right? Within a month, the State of Qi will send a large number of troops to attack Wu, and then the State of Chu can attack from the side of the Beauty Peak until Yecheng, if it can surround Yecheng is better, if not, it is better to capture two cities, how? Chen Ling said eloquently.
Qi Anzhi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed, laughing so much that one was hearty and the other was uninhibited.
Chen Ling didn't say anything, just looked at him and smiled.
He laughed enough before he said, "How do you speak wildly?" How can you judge that the State of Qi will send a large number of troops to attack Wu? ”
Chen Ling shook his head, "This is not nonsense, it seems that the news of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too closed, a while ago, Wu captured Wanzhou City, doesn't His Highness know?" Wanzhou was originally a heavy city of Qi, and if Wanzhou was lost, if no one was in the territory of Qi, the king of Qi would be furious and send troops to seize the city. It is not a secret, although this Wanzhou city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is captured by the five princes of Wu State, Gongzi Zheng, Gongzi Zheng has no military power at this time, if Qi raised troops to seize the city, then surrounded by ten days and half a month, it is also extremely dangerous, if His Royal Highness the Prince takes the opportunity to attack the city and plunder the land, His Royal Highness, is to expand the territory, Yu Wu, is to alleviate the crisis, why not? ”
Qi Anzhi looked at this girl dressed as a man, at this moment, he looked at this girl carefully, he knew that he was shaken, and her three-inch tongue did convince him.
After a moment of silence, Qi Anzhi picked up the wine glass, "Then I will believe in Gongzi once, and I can be regarded as making friends." ”
Chen Ling smiled faintly and picked up the cup as well, "Okay, deal." ”
In the past few hundred years, there has been a balance between countries, however, it is because of the arrival of such a woman that the countries that have been balanced for hundreds of years have finally begun to change.
Wu State, Huizhou City.
There was no guard at the man's door, the door was closed, Gongzi knocked lightly on the wooden door, and after a while, he heard an old voice reply, "Come on, don't hurry, don't hurry." ”
The door creaked open a small crack, and an old man with white hair asked, the old man's voice speaking very slowly, "Something?" We adults don't see guests. ”
"I'm Gongzi Zheng, I'm here to visit." Gongzi Zheng said personally.
"If our son says he won't see it, he won't see anyone." After saying that, the door slammed shut.
Cheng Xin gritted his teeth angrily, "Your Highness, why should we suffer such a wretch, let's go back." ”
Gongzi Zheng smiled, "Don't worry, I'll naturally open the door in a while." ”
Sure enough, after a while, the slow and old voice sounded again, "Your Highness, please come in." ”
However, that person did not come in person, and Gongzi Zheng was not angry and walked in slowly.
When the man saw Gongzi Zheng, he got up and saluted, and said without saying much, "Your Highness, please take a seat." And he said no more.
Childe sat on the ground.
The man said, "The humble house is shabby, and there is no good tea to entertain, please forgive your Highness." ”
Gongzi Zheng smiled, "Where, Brother Jian'an is polite, I'm the one who came to see you, and it doesn't hurt to drink water." ”
Jian'an is the person's small character, the person's surname is Zhu Qianxi, he is a person who writes history, and everyone who writes history must have a stubborn temper, otherwise he will not write history.
"I'm a rough man who can only write, what is Your Highness coming to see me doing?" He asked.
"Brother Jian'an writes history, history is like a mirror, with copper as a mirror, you can be dressed, people are the mirror, you can know the gains and losses, take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall." He heard this sentence from Ling Er, and he kept it firmly in his heart.
When Zhu Qianxi heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Gongzi Zheng, and at this glance, Gongzi Zheng knew that he had spoken to the other party's heart.
The historians of this era are not taken seriously, so he is not good at speaking, but this person does have some real talent and learning, and he is also a very outspoken minister, and he will be very useful to himself in the future.
The sunset gradually set, the moon gradually rose, the more the two of them chatted, the more speculative they became, Zhu Qianxi originally disliked these self-righteous princes, but after talking about it, he had a great change in his opinion of Gongzi Zheng.
When I was leaving, I felt that I hated to see each other late.
Five days have passed, and there has been no progress in the whereabouts of the mother concubine sent by Gongzi Zheng, and the people involved in this matter happened to die, and those files strangely disappeared with a fire. You can only check it again.
Gongzi Zheng sneered in his heart, is it a coincidence? Who did he harm?
Within the territory of Qi State.
The army of 100,000 is mighty, and Childe walks in the middle of the team as an overseer, and he, the overseer, can give orders, or the general can report to him, and he agrees.
The carriage and horses shook, Gongzi sat in the car without loss, and he was still recalling the episode before parting with Ling Er over and over again, although she did not come back with her, she saved herself after all.
Before leaving, he went to see her mother-in-law, the young but old woman, she told him the stories of Ling'er's childhood, some of which he had heard many times, and even repeated them word for word, but he still liked to listen to them, and this was also the most comfortable time in his leisure time.
Sometimes, he just accompanies the old man, does nothing, and basks in the sun with the old man, even if it is only for half an hour, it is excellent.
The old man sometimes asked him if Ling Er was doing well, why didn't he come to see her, he always replied that she was doing well, but whether she was doing well or not, he didn't know, by Hongyan's side, should be doing well?
It's better than following him as an indifferent person, thinking of this, his heart hurts, he thinks, he also has a life, and this lifeline is that girl.
The sun is scorching.
Chen Ling, who was in the Western Regions, rushed to Wanzhou City with three thousand good horses.
Gongzi Zheng took 50,000 soldiers and horses to Wanzhou City.
Gongzi led an army of 100,000 without loss and wanted to seize Wanzhou City.
It turns out that the three people who are familiar with each other will eventually converge in one place, can fate make the three good this time?
