Chapter 21 It's time to pull out the camp
"You ......" Hearing Qin Shu's words, not only Li Lao and Fu Chengwen, but almost everyone present was so ashamed and indignant that they could hardly raise their heads, especially Li Lao, who said such a thing, his old face was even more red like a monkey's buttocks.
The white beard under his chin trembled incessantly, and it took him a long time before he found his voice and said angrily: "Vixen, you are so vulgar, how can a person like you be worthy of being called a woman?" ”
"Stinky old man, you are looking for death-" Lu Qingmiao was furious when he heard this, and he was about to draw a knife and cut the old man.
"Seedlings, stand down!" Qin Shu retired from the leader of his personal guard.
Lu Qingmiao held back his anger, put the knife he pulled out into the sheath, and glared at Old Man Li hatefully.
Qin Shu raised her eyes and stared coldly at Old Man Li and said, "Whether I deserve to be called a woman or not is not something that a rotten Confucian like you can decide." I'll admit I'm rude, but at least a hundred times better than some brazen, vengeful people. ”
Without waiting for Old Man Li to speak, Qin Shu looked at Fu Chengwen, who was already sluggish, and said, "Prince Zhou, if you specially invite me over, just to shift the responsibility to our Red Lotus Army and blackmail us as the wronged bosses, I don't think there is any need for me to continue to stay." We just want to help, and only to help those who deserve our help, not to help shameless villains like you who will extort life-saving benefactors. I didn't expect you to be grateful to us, but what you have done today is so disgusting and disappointing, and then, from tomorrow onwards, we will go our separate ways, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my one-plank bridge. ”
Fu Chengwen was shocked when he heard this, and quickly came back to his senses and said, "How can this work? Leader Qin, how can you not believe in your words? ”
"Nothing to keep your word for?" Qin Shu curled the corners of her lips, "What if I don't believe what I say?" If you dare to be the first year of junior high school, don't blame others for doing fifteen, do you think that in this case, our Red Lotus Army will continue to help you for free? Who do you think of us Red Lotus Army? ”
"What gratuitous help?" Old man Li hurriedly said, "Our Majesty has given you so many benefits, you say that if you don't help, you won't help, are you in breach of contract?" This is against morality, if it is known, not only the Red Lotus Army, but the entire Qin Family Army will be spurned by the people of the world? ”
"The benefits? Are you kidding? Qin Shu sneered lightly, looked contemptuously at the old man Li who still refused to give up, and said, "I only saw a big cake drawn by Zhou Tianzi, and there is no actual benefit at all." Do you really think that we are shallow-eyed and can't take a fancy to your little thing? It's ridiculous, I'm just saving you some face and not making you look too ugly, and you really take it seriously. I knew that you were so shameless, and we would rather be scolded by the world than come at all. ”
Old man Li looked at Qin Shu angrily and in horror, but there was a trace of powerless frustration in his heart, because the truth was too different from what he imagined.
He originally thought that the Red Lotus Army would be easy to deal with. It's just a group of women with long hair and short knowledge, how much ability can they have?
Usually, the Red Lotus Army doesn't show anything special, it's just that it can fight better than ordinary women.
For Qin Shu, the leader of the Red Lotus Army, he looked down on him, or rather, he looked down on all women, including his daughter.
In addition to his prejudice against women, the other party was moved by the empty promise made by His Majesty, and he hadn't seen the real benefits, and he was like a fool to protect them wholeheartedly, which was also one of the reasons why he looked down on the Red Lotus Army.
The impression that the Red Lotus Army usually gives him is that he is a representative of stupidity and stupidity, even if he is protected by them, he doesn't look down on it from the bottom of his heart, so he wants to blackmail the Red Lotus Army, and he doesn't even consider the possibility of failure at all.
But now he understands that people are not stupid, and even they have always been clear in their hearts, and the reason why the other party will protect them is only out of the morality of allies, or they want to give an explanation to the subjects of the world, and they are not moved by His Majesty's empty words.
It is precisely because of this that when they calculate each other and blackmail each other, the other party will be so angry, and even directly pick the other party and leave.
Knowing this, he wouldn't have made such a decision at all.
These ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not good at fighting, but people are not stupid, especially good at conspiracies and speculating on people's hearts, and they are even better at infighting.
At this moment, almost everyone turned their resentful eyes to Li Lao, complaining that he was troubled and had offended their current protector god.
Li Lao has lived so old that he doesn't want to live anymore, but they haven't lived enough, they know very well that without the protection of the Red Lotus Army, they can't live at all. Now they have to ask for others, where did this old man Li have the courage to dare to negotiate terms with others?
But they forgot that they didn't stop it at the beginning, and now they put the blame on Old Man Li.
"To you, our Red Lotus Army has already done its duty, so don't leave it at that! You guys do it for yourselves. After Qin Shu finished speaking, without hesitation, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait-" Seeing this, Sun Shangshu hurriedly shouted, chased forward, and said in fear: "Leader Qin is angry, this matter is not done by our Great Zhou, I am here, instead of Li Lao and the crown prince, I will make amends to you." ”
As he spoke, he made a long bow to Qin Shu.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, he doesn't know the severity, and he is deeply shocked, and he has lost his mind, and Li Lao is old and old, and he has long been confused, so he said those foolish words. Please also ask Lord Qin to have a large number of them, don't worry about them. It's too late for our Great Zhou to be grateful to all the soldiers of the Red Lotus Army, how can we take revenge and put the responsibility on the head of the Red Lotus Army? ”
Qin Shu stopped and snorted coldly: "It's really better to say than to sing." It's a pity, I'm just a woman, don't you keep saying that women are careful? If I forgive them a lot, wouldn't it be like what Elder Li said just now, and even less worthy of being a woman? How could I do something that was not in line with a woman's code of conduct? You dignified men, I guess you don't need the protection of us weak women who make you look down on you. BIBS, let's go! ”
"Leader Qin......" Sun Shangshu and the others shouted together, but unfortunately, the other party left without looking back as if they didn't hear it.
Seeing that Qin Shu really didn't want to pay attention to them, everyone looked at Li Lao angrily.
As for Fu Chengwen, he is just a straw bag, Li Lao's echo worm, and he is the prince of the Great Zhou, and the ministers will not be angry with him.
"Li Xiangguo, you have done a good thing." Sun Shangshu glared at him and said angrily, "If the Great Zhou Dynasty destroys the country because of this, it's all your fault. I see what kind of face you will have to see Your Majesty in the future? ”
Li Lao blew his beard, stiffened his neck, and forcibly defended himself: "I'm also for Da Zhou, how do I know that the other party is so dishonest and evades responsibility." The reason why His Majesty died was because the Red Lotus Army was derelict in his duties, don't you think so? Now that things are messed up, you're all blaming me? ”
After speaking, he also felt that his heart was weak and untenable, and he hurriedly pulled Fu Chengwen up, and said with tears in his eyes: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the old ministers are all for the sake of Da Zhou, for the sake of His Royal Highness, you must believe in the old ministers." ”
Fu Chengwen didn't seem to have reacted yet, and when he heard this, he looked at Li Lao slowly, and asked him in fear: "Li Lao, who is the leader of Qin...... What do you mean? She really didn't plan to continue to protect ...... Are we it? ”
"This ......" Li Lao was speechless for a moment, quite discouraged.
"Say it quickly!" Fu Chengwen asked anxiously.
No matter how stupid he was, he knew that without the protection of the Red Lotus Army, it would be impossible for them to reach Guang County alive.
Sun Shangshu said in a strange manner: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the leader of Qin was left by Li Xiangguo, and he doesn't plan to protect us in the future, what should you do with us?" ”
Old man Li looked at Sun Shangshu angrily, and just as he was about to refute, he heard Fu Chengwen say coldly: "Father-in-law, is this true?" ”
Elder Li first lowered his head, then raised his head again, and said categorically: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, Chief Qin is just talking angry, she will definitely not really abandon us?" What's more, this place is not far from Guangxian, and the other party can't give up halfway. It's a big deal, Ben Xiang will personally go to make amends to Leader Qin tomorrow, and there is always a way to make her change her mind. ”
For him, bowing his head to a woman to make amends is simply a great shame for him.
What's more, he is still the prime minister of the Great Zhou, he doesn't believe it, he personally makes amends, and the other party will not agree.
When Fu Chengwen heard this, his face looked a little better, and his trust in Li Lao all the time made him believe his words, and he nodded and said, "When my father-in-law said this, this prince will be relieved." ”
Sun Shangshu and the others glanced at each other, and they didn't think much of Li Lao's words.
But, what else can be done now?
Some people are already planning to find another way out, and it is too unwise to hang themselves on the big tree that has begun to wither.
"What about my father's funeral?" Fu Chengwen thought of his dead father, and his eyes began to turn red again.
Sun Shangshu said: "Now, I can only carry His Majesty's coffin on the road first. Wait until Guangxian County, and then be ceremoniously buried. ”
Fu Chengwen thought for a while and said, "That's the only way." ”
Qin Shu was on the way back, Lu Qingmiao asked, "Chief, are we really not protecting them?" ”
Qin Shu smiled and said, "Then are you willing to protect them?" ”
Lu Qingmiao immediately said with disgust: "Of course I don't want to, although we also have ulterior motives for protecting them, but the other party is too shameless, and they deserve this fate, and their subordinates are very happy." ”
"That's right, actually, I don't want to." Qin Shu said, "Now that the task has been completed, we naturally don't have to dump them anymore." Just ......"
"Just what?" Lu Qingmiao asked.
Seeing that his military tent was in front of him, Qin Shu sighed and said, "It's nothing, it's too late, you go and rest, you have to get up early tomorrow!" ”
After walking the green seedlings, Qin Shu also entered the military tent and lay down to rest without mentioning it.
The next day, before dawn, in the main tent where Fu Jingshan was, a woman's heart-rending cry sounded-
"陛xià, 陛xià...... Why did you really leave me, leaving your concubine to suffer alone in this world, how can you bear it......"
Xue was lying on the wooden bed where Fu Jingshan was placed, crying breathlessly.
After she fainted yesterday, she had a nightmare all night, and she thought it was just a dream, but she didn't expect her husband to be dead.
For her, her husband is her life's support, she knows very well that her son has no ability at all, he is young, and he can't bear the responsibility at all, and now that her husband is dead, who will still look at them and your mother? Will you not be at the mercy of others?
How can she stand this?
Li also knelt beside and cried quietly.
The other ministers also knelt behind.
"The queen mother, please mourn, Your Majesty was just taken by the Buddha to the White Lotus Pure Land to enjoy the blessings, you still have to take care of your body! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still needs you! Li Lao persuaded with a pair of dark circles.
As the night passed, he looked much haggard, and seemed to be a little older.
This really worked, as soon as he finished speaking, Xue's cry became much quieter, and in the end, only faint sobs remained.
After a long while, she wiped away her tears and asked hatefully, "What about Meng Yongshan's corpse?" ”
Li Lao also said hatefully: "Eight pieces have been dismantled, and the head of the owl has been shown to the public." ”
"He's really cheap." Xue gritted his teeth and said, "I still trust him so much, he has been friends with our family for decades, but I didn't expect that he betrayed His Majesty, even if he was put to death, it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart." ”
After speaking, she paused and asked, "Is Chengwen awake?" ”
Last night, Fu Chengwen couldn't stay up, so he fell asleep. Xue doted on him, and when he saw that he was sleeping soundly, he was reluctant to wake him up, so he let him sleep for a while.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't come here yet." Li Lao looked around and replied, "Why don't you send someone to call Your Highness?" ”
Xue nodded, he couldn't drag it out any longer, otherwise, wouldn't he be said that his son was unfilial? Therefore, he ordered: "Li, you personally go and call Chengwen to get up." ”
"By the way, what about the people over there? His Majesty died, why didn't they move at all? The Xue clan suddenly frowned and said unhappily, "Didn't Leader Qin come over in person?" It's so unruly. ”
She originally looked at Qin Shu unpleasantly, but now that she didn't come over, she was even more dissatisfied.
She originally said this because she wanted the ministers to denounce Qin Shu together, but she didn't expect that no one answered, she couldn't help but look at them in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?" Why don't you speak? ”
Li Lao's face suddenly became very ugly.
But if he didn't speak, it didn't mean that the others didn't speak, Sun Shangshu choked up and said: "Queen Qiyu, Chief Qin came last night, but he left soon. ”
"What?!" Xue Shi said sharply, with a bit of angry accusation in his tone: "In this way, she knows about the matter of His Majesty, in that case, why can't she come now?" Do you want us to invite her? ”
After speaking, she didn't look at the faces of the others, and directly ordered with a dark face: "Fu Su, you go and pass on the order of the palace, and order the Qin family to come over immediately, the palace has something to ask her." ”
The Xue clan was furious and full of confidence. Thinking that she had finally grabbed Qin Shu's handle, and she didn't have Her Majesty to support her, she immediately wanted to question and humiliate her and give herself a breath.
"Her Majesty is so good to her, she is so ruthless and unjust, I really feel unworthy for Her Majesty." Xue said angrily.
When the ministers heard this, they were speechless and embarrassed, and looking at Xue's eyes, they couldn't help but feel a little weird.
This Xue clan didn't treat the leader of the Red Lotus Army as one of those women who competed with her for favor.
A woman is a woman, when has this been, she still thinks about fighting for the wind and being jealous, she doesn't want to think about it, Leader Qin, is it an ordinary woman? Is that what she can question?
Xue was stupid and didn't care about the overall situation, and they couldn't let her do it. Originally, the Red Lotus Army thought that yesterday's incident had made them feel sorry for them, and if the Xue clan added fuel to the fire again, they really didn't dare to imagine that kind of scene.
Fu Su was also aware of this, so he hesitated and did not move for Xue's order.
"Fu Su, what are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and call the Qin clan to me! Xue reprimanded.
Fu Su lowered his head and said, "Queen Mother, my subordinates are afraid that they will not be able to obey orders." ”
"Why? This palace just asks you to run errands, you just push back and block, isn't it Your Majesty Xià to go, you don't look at me as a widow? Xue accused him.
"Not really." Fu Su said: "Rather, the subordinates can't do it." It's the queen mother...... I'm afraid he doesn't have the right to order the Qin chieftain. ”
"What?" Xue said indignantly: "This palace is the queen of the Great Zhou, and when the prince ascends the throne, I will be the queen mother, and she dares to disobey Yi's decree?" ”
When the ministers heard this, they were all black lines. This Xue family, when Da Zhou is the previous Da Zhou, after being the queen for a few years, I don't know who my surname is?
Why did she think she could command the Red Lotus Army?
"Queen Mother......" Sun Shangshu was about to explain, when he heard someone shouting eagerly outside: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Queen Mother, Xiangguo, no, the Red Lotus Army is going to pull out the camp." ”
