809 is safe, the hardest road
As soon as the Qin army won a big victory, the commander was about to leave, which was extremely unfavorable to rallying the morale of the army and improving morale, but Qin Shiyan had to leave now, and if he dragged on here for one more day, the matter in the capital would be more risky.
After spending three days sorting out the affairs of the army and dealing with all the suspicious people, Qin Xiaoyan didn't have time to announce his return to Beijing, and Qin Chen came to Beijing again.
It is also a private edict, but the tone is more urgent than before, and the words are also full of care and comfort, so that Qin Xiaoyan doesn't want to think too much, let alone be careful, the country is his, the throne is also his, and it is impossible to change it.
From the content of the private edict, it can be seen that the old emperor must have been very anxious in Beijing, and his tone unconsciously eased a lot.
The old emperor has no way to solve this matter now, Qin Shiyan said that if he doesn't go back, not only will no one solve the huge silver money loophole, but no one will carry the black pot.
The private edict was not read out in public, but there was a Qin mission coming, and then His Royal Highness Qin announced that he would return to Beijing, and everyone in the army understood that His Royal Highness Qin really had to return to Beijing this time, and he would not come back.
Although the border information is not well-informed, the old emperor is seriously ill, but it cannot be hidden. At this time, the prince was in a hurry to return to the court, and everyone thought that this was to order His Royal Highness Qin to go back and wait for the succession.
The whole army was very happy about Qin Xiaoyan, but this kind of happiness could not be said, and the whole army accepted His Royal Highness Qin's return to Beijing very highly, and actively said that they would definitely win the battle and not embarrass His Highness Qin.
Qin Xiaoyan returned to Beijing in a high-profile manner, Xihu and King Zhao naturally couldn't hide it, and the two received the news as soon as possible, and King Zhao broke the hot medicine bowl with a "bang".
"Qin Xiaoyan, the emperor's grandson...... What a royal grandson! Back to Beijing? Hmph, I'm not going to let you go back safely. King Zhao looked violent, obviously he also thought that Qin Xiaoyan returned to Beijing at this time, it must be to succeed to the throne.
"I'm finally going back to Beijing." Feng Yao also received the news, unlike King Zhao's anger, Feng Yao was relieved when he received the news.
It's finally coming to an end!
"On the day you ascend the throne, I will give you a great gift." Feng Yao whispered, the voice was so small that only he could hear it.
Qin Xiaoyan's departure made many people want to move, and Qin Yunchu was the most. Qin Yunchu learned that King Zhao had recently focused his energy on assassinating Qin Xiaoyan, so he took the opportunity to buy off the generals in the army little by little.
The generals who originally fell to the second and third sons of King Zhao were already restless after seeing the two sons being injured and not knowing what to do, but now that Qin Yunchu is recruiting, how can they not be justified.
King Zhao was injured, and he had to plan the war, and he also had to take care of the assassination of Qin Xiaoyan, which can be described as a lack of skills. Qin Yunchu's small movements, he didn't notice it at all, King Zhao's henchmen noticed it, but ......
Of King Zhao's three sons-in-law, two of them were abolished, and the remaining Qin Yunchu looked more and more sophisticated, and these henchmen did not dare to offend Qin Yunchu.
King Zhao is getting older, and he has many dark diseases on his body all the year round, and this injury will cause many dark diseases, and he needs to be recuperated for a long time.
Moreover, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and King Zhao can be injured this time, so it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be injured next time. Compared with King Zhao, Qin Yunchu, who had been in the rear, could obviously live longer.
An old master who is getting old, and a young master who is growing, anyone with eyes knows who to fall to, even if there is no action on the surface, he has to give Qin Yunchu some face in private, at least he can't offend.
Of course, it is not that he has no confidants, in front of King Zhao, he said that Qin Yunchu has been making small moves recently, but ......
Qin Yunchu's impression in front of King Zhao was really bad, King Zhao didn't believe that Qin Yunchu had that ability at all, and only said: "It's just a waste, what ability can he have, Mr. doesn't have to care about him, he can't jump out of the sky if he jumps." ”
King Zhao is busy now, choosing a suitable candidate from among the concubines to be the heir to cultivate, but it is really not possible for him to learn from the old emperor and choose from his grandson. The men of their old Qin family have a long life, as long as they don't die in an accident, it is not difficult to live to sixty-seven.
King Zhao was too busy, so busy that he didn't have time to take care of Qin Yunchu at all, so that Qin Yunchu had to accumulate strength little by little under King Zhao's nose.
Qin Xiaoyan and Gu Qiancheng knew that this road would not be peaceful. They know the inside story and understand what the old emperor summoned Qin Xiaoyan to Beijing for, but they know it doesn't mean that others also know, as for King Zhao and King Zhou, they don't know.
In the eyes of those who don't know, Qin Lianyan returned to Beijing at this time, and nine times out of ten, it was to succeed to the throne, and even King Zhao, a chaotic minister and thief, didn't want Qin Lianyan to return to Beijing to ascend the throne, and King Zhou in Beijing was even more unhappy.
If the emperor died suddenly, and Qin Xiaoyan did not rush back, King Zhou, who was in Beijing, would be the best candidate to succeed to the throne. At that time, it is not impossible for the king of Zhou to unite his henchmen, take advantage of the time and location, live in the palace, and write an edict, and falsely accuse Qin of being a chaotic minister and thief.
Compared with King Zhao, King Zhou wanted Qin Xiaoyan to die on the road, even if he couldn't die, he would be held back to Beijing.
Killers, dead soldiers!
Wave after wave, wave after wave of people, Qin Xiaoyan came out of the camp, but in just five days, he encountered seven batches of killers and five batches of dead soldiers, the number of which made people have a headache and was tired of coping.
"If this continues, we will be consumed by them sooner or later." Gu Qiancheng wiped his sweat and handed the steamed bun in his hand to Qin Xiaoyan.
The people led by Qin Xiaoyan are indeed brave and good at fighting, and their strength is also strong, but the killers sent by the other party are wave after wave, and they don't even have time to catch their breath, and sooner or later they will be exhausted to death by the other party's wheel battle.
"Hmm. We can't last a few days. For three days, they couldn't even sleep well, and every time they closed their eyes, they would be awakened by the Assassins.
"Either we get rid of them once and for all, or we disappear so they never find us." Gu Qiancheng ate without a bite, and his appetite was extremely poor.
It's not because I'm pregnant, it's because I'm tired.
Qin Shiyan didn't respond, just ate the food in his hand silently, and waited until he finished eating: "Qiancheng, do you remember that you and Tang Wanjin rushed to the northwest and walked that way?" ”
"Of course, do you remember the way we're going to go?" Draw a straight line between the capital and the northwest, in the most barbaric way, cross that straight line, cross the mountains and mountains, cross the river and cross the river, such a difficult road, how could Gu Qiancheng forget it.
"Well, that road is the fastest and hardest, and people are more terrible than beasts, so it's relatively safe." Qin Xiaoyan wanted to find that way from the beginning, but he was worried about Gu Qiancheng's body before, but now it seems that they are more tired when they take the official road, even if they are protected by heavy troops, Gu Qiancheng still can't get a proper rest.
Instead of this, it is better to take the most difficult road directly, and at least you can sleep peacefully!
