Chapter 171: Undercurrent
Did you know I'm afraid of this? Or did Fusu clearly know that I was afraid of this? Lin Jixiang was taken a fancy to this matter, in my opinion, it can't stand scrutiny, but Fusu openly stopped us...
"Qin Gong." My voice was as cold as Ying Zheng's when he spoke to me.
Fusu didn't really mind my attitude, he smiled eagerly and continued to talk to me.
"The eldest duke who can be favored by Concubine Xi must be able to play the piano. However, the eldest duke is a man, and when Concubine Xi talks with her, it is better to wear a veil. He raised his opinion.
This reminds me, I show my head like this, no wonder the politician is so blue-faced, not to mention that he is already dissatisfied with me, even if he pampers me, it will hurt his dignity as a man, a hegemonic man.
"Mr. Lao bothered." I'm polite.
Fusu listened to me accept his point of view, laughed when he heard the words, moved back, and wanted to continue to talk, Yingzheng stopped in front and looked over here, we all understood what he meant, so I didn't need to remind me, Fusu gave me etiquette again, and humbly strode to follow.
I didn't dare to show too much fear or nostalgia for Ying Zheng or anyone in front of Lin Jixiang, because I was afraid that he would see my difficult life when he walked on the peak of the wolf cliff.
Secretly relieved, I gracefully refused the kindness of the prison heads, and hurried to the direction of Qixi Palace with Lin Jixiang, so as not to see anyone who wanted to see me at this time and I didn't want to see it again.
"Who is he?"
Walking out of the crowd, Lin Jixiang asked me in a low voice.
"The eldest prince of the Qin State Fusu." I replied.
"Hmph, Yingzheng is not shallow, the eldest prince is a talent, and he is very heroic." Lin Jixiang's mouth was full of gloom.
I know that this era is the sequence concept of respecting the long, Fusu is the quasi-successor of Yingzheng in the eyes of the world, Fusu is excellent, then the next dynasty of Qin is excellent, so Lin Jixiang will care so much about Fusu's character.
"The tiger father has no dogs, and the sons of Qin are all amazing."
I sincerely admire the men of this era.
As the son of the emperor Yingzheng of the first generation. The sons of the Ying family are not arrogant or impatient, they are all proud of their military exploits, and the more prominent their father's reputation is, the more they work hard, but they are not many times stronger than those losers who have a red ticket in their family and call themselves rich in the second generation after 2,000 years.
Lin Jixiang's face turned completely cold.
"Yingzheng's life shouldn't be so good." There was hatred in his words.
I began to worry about Lin Ji's overreaction to Ying Zheng, if Ying Zheng's happiness or sadness stimulated him, I don't know if he could control his own mood.
"Xiangjue has just arrived, so it's better to converge."
Not to mention whether Lin Jixiang can be hostile to Yingzheng, just because this is the Qin Palace, which is heavily guarded by Qin, Lin Jixiang can't be publicized. It will also provoke itself to suffer the most cruel end.
Lin Jixiang listened to my admonition. He affectionately made reassurances.
"It's for you. I'll plan it out as well. ”
After a few beats of heartbeats, I knew he wouldn't give up the opportunity to say these caring words. It was not appropriate to continue on this topic, and I had other things to explain, so I pretended not to hear and fooled around.
"Why is Xiangjue here?" I asked.
This is the end of the process. Our conversation finally returned to the realm of words that should be spoken.
Lin Jixiang didn't answer, but asked me, "Why didn't you reply to the letter?" ”
Compared with my surprise, Lin Jixiang was more angry.
I know his temper, and I have not replied to the letter because of my willfulness and no, and if I don't answer him, he will definitely ask questions, so I temporarily put away my suspicions and answered his question first.
"I'm fine." I answer briefly.
Because I was fine, I didn't feel the need to reply: it was an excuse I muttered to myself in my heart.
He clearly didn't believe it.
"Okay? Why don't you go back? He seemed more confused than when I was asked, "Why didn't you reply?"
I could hear his anger, but I couldn't temper it. It could only lightly divert his attention.
"Where did Xiangjue come from?"
If I can't get an answer to my question, I can only find another way to find an answer, and if I divert my attention, the only thing that can make Lin Jixiang jump out of my thoughts without replying to the letter is a state matter.
Lin Jixiang restrained his anger slightly. "Chu State." He replied.
Chu? Lin Jixiang went to the state of Chu. Then he mixed in with the popular demonstrations of the Qin State to protest against the start of the war...
"Qin Chu really wants to go to war?"
Lin Jixiang came from Chu and should be very aware of the development of the battle situation.
After listening to my questioning, he told me the actual situation.
"Chu will return to the dynasty with Xiang Yan's class, if Qin gets the news, he will inevitably take advantage of the situation." As he spoke, his brows furrowed and his throat sinked.
I understand that when Qin sends troops to a country, victory is inevitable, and the sooner Yingzheng destroys other countries, the Qi State will be close to the death of the country.
It's just that Xiang Yannai is a famous general in the world, because he and his soldiers are here, and the Qin soldiers have been helpless against the Chu State for several years, how can such a powerful general give the Qin State an opportunity to take advantage of the inaction?
I had a question in my heart, and in the face of Lin Jixiang, I asked it as open-mouthed as before.
"Qin and Chu have been holding each other for more than a year, and the Qin soldiers have not withdrawn, why did the Chu State suddenly return to the court?"
General Wang Jian and Princess Huayang sent by the Qin State were stationed on the border of the Chu State, coupled with the ambition of winning the government to dominate the world, even I who did not know the art of war knew the truth and fact that the Chu State would bring on itself if there was a slight change, and the Chu General would not understand.
Knowingly, why?
Lin Jixiang's face was sad, and the jade-crowned eyebrows and starry eyes were heartbreaking.
"The State of Chu wants the State of Qi to send troops to help, and the two sides will work together to attack the State of Qin." His voice was calm, but full of suppressed pain.
I didn't hear you right, right?
"Qi is going to send troops?"
During the lifetime of the Empress Dowager, in order to protect herself, she has been unwilling to participate in the disputes between the countries, although this decision has been controversial and pros and cons, but it has also maintained the peace of the Qi State for several years.
Now that the actual head of Qi is Lin Jixiang, he has gone to Chu State, and Chu State wants Qi State to send troops, and the pace of Qin's reunification is wider and wider.
"I've got that in mind." Lin Jixiang confirmed my suspicions.
I have an inexplicable excitement and worry in my heart: the excitement is because the people of Tiantianxi are too weak and have always been able to let people eat meat, and now I have the idea of making a move, which is a good thing; The worry is because the hegemony of Yingzheng is an ironclad fact of history, and if Qi recklessly resists, it will only kill and wound more.
"Will that come out?" I lifted my heartstrings and pricked up my ears for an answer.
Lin Jixiang's complex feelings are so complex that I can't see through or understand.
"No, it won't." He replied firmly.
The heartstrings raised are even more hanging.
"Why?"
