"It's already my greatest relief that you can come back safely, how can I still punish you?" I smiled and stepped forward to help him up.

"Master......" I haven't seen him for so long, Wang Jie is also full of excitement in his heart, he doesn't know what to say, so he can only look at me with moist eyes.

"Don't stand outside, let's go in, I've ordered someone to prepare a large table of dishes, waiting for the two of you." I cleared my slightly hoarse throat and quickly stepped out of the way to let them in.

Jiang Hewei knew that I didn't want them to see my excited and tearful appearance now, so they simply hooked Wang Jie's neck and half-dragged him away.

As soon as I saw them walk to the front, I quickly wiped my eyes with my sleeve.

Oh, really, it's not like I haven't been to the battlefield, even if I'm alone in the face of so many enemies, I'm not as excited as I am now, how can I see them coming back from the battlefield, I ......

Taking a deep breath, I settled down and followed behind.

"Qingzhi, your trick is so good, you actually took advantage of the war between the two countries and Buda to send Wang Jie to keep an eye on Yuzhou City." Jiang Hewei heard a lot of news on the way to Yutangtai, as long as he thought about it a little, he knew that all this was a trap that I had laid a long time ago" It's just that I still don't understand one thing, the garrison of Qi State has always been strict, how did you capture Yuzhou City at such a fast speed? ”

This sentence should have been asked to Wang Jie, but he knew that behind all this, it was still my ghost.

Seeing that Jiang Hewei was so interested, I didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly, "When I first went to Qi State, I met a person by chance, his name is Cheng Feihu. ”

"Cheng Feihu?" Jiang Hewei thought hard about it, and always felt that the name sounded familiar.

"He was once the bravest general of the Qi State." I reminded him.

"It turns out ......" Jiang Hewei was shocked for a moment, then eased his expression and sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that his family was deeply involved in the crime of rebellion, he would still be the most glorious general in the Qi Kingdom by now." ”

"yes." I also think that with his talent, it is a pity to be in the alley tavern every day.

"But," Jiang Hewei was still very strange, "No matter what he says, he is also the former general of Qi State, how can he be easily used by you?" ”

Strange, so weird.

"He was, and he wasn't." I stood up with my wine glass, and the light in my eyes was gone.

Jiang Hewei was stunned.

Wang Jie asked me, "Did the master promise him anything?" ”

"Three hundred taels of gold, he deceived the eyes of Yuzhou Thorn Shi for me and released false news about the deployment of our army."

Wang Jie paused for a moment and did not speak.

Jiang Hewei was very surprised, "What, three hundred taels of gold, are you really willing to do it?" ”

I touched the celadon carvings on the cup with my fingertips, and smiled nonchalantly, "After all, I won't be so poor that I can't even afford to eat, will I?" ”

"What if that day exists?"

"Then you can talk to your sister-in-law, I will go to eat two meals a day."

“……”

"I haven't celebrated to you two yet, Xiaojie, Hewei, everything you have done for Daqin, I am here to thank you for the people of Qin." I took the glass in both hands, bowed down and bowed to them.

Wang Jie and Jiang Hewei hurriedly got up, not daring to accept my salute.

"The emperor will definitely reward you, Xiaojie, from now on, you don't have to be my subordinate anymore." I drank the wine with my head up, and then looked at Wang Jie with a calm gaze.

Wang Jie was stunned for a moment, and instantly knelt in front of me.

"Master, are you trying to drive me out of the house?"

I shook my head and immediately went to help him, but he wouldn't get up.

"Who just wants to do things under other people's hands, and doesn't want to be an official?" I laughed.

"Your subordinates are your subordinates, and your subordinates can take Yuzhou City, but they only obey your orders, and your subordinates don't have any credit, not to mention rewards, if the master really doesn't want to be subordinate, his subordinates can only isolate themselves in front of you."

After speaking, Wang Jie pulled out his sword and was about to kill himself, but I was shocked and immediately stopped him.

"What are you doing!" I screamed, snatched the sword from his hand and threw it out.

Wang Jie lowered his head, biting his lip and not speaking.

I looked up slightly and closed my eyes.

"Xiaojie, this is an opportunity, don't you really want it?"

Wang Jie stiffened, and he suddenly understood, it turned out that all this was the master paving the way for his future.

"My subordinates don't want it."

Forever.

I was silent for a few seconds, but finally exhaled deeply.

"Whatever you want, whatever you want, everything is up to you, I won't force you." I bent down to help him, "You can always get up now, right?" ”

Wang Jie seemed a little unable to believe my words, but since I promised like this, he couldn't make me embarrassed anymore, so he could only stand up with my strength.

Jiang Hewei on the side also felt funny when he saw this situation, he walked to Wang Jie with a glass of wine, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "She is a person, she always wants to keep the benefits to her own people, but there is no reason to force others to accept the benefits, why are you so serious?" ”

Wang Jie said in a deep voice, "What the master said is an order, and I have no qualifications to disobey the order." ”

Along the way, Jiang Hewei also chatted with Wang Jie, Wang Jie's temperament, he also understood a little, he knew that he was not the kind of stubborn, inflexible person, but for some reason came to me, Wang Jie was like a different person, every move is subject to my orders. chamberlain

Probably this is the so-called "loyalty", and there is really a hint of envy.

"Come on, let's have a drink, don't think about what you have and don't have." I raised my glass and said, "Today is all about having fun." ”

When Jiang Hewei saw me say this, he didn't restrain anymore, and shouted outside the door, "Bring three jars of wine." ”

"What are you going to do?" I look at him.

"If you want to drink happily, how can you enjoy drinking it cup by cup like this?" Jiang Hewei said with a smile.

“……”

Did she just say something she shouldn't have said?

The three jars of wine were quickly put on the table, Jiang Hewei refused to let go, and Wang Jie and I had to accept our fate.

Drunk until dawn.

Early the next morning, after tidying up the military horses, we set off back to the capital, but before returning to the capital, I deliberately took a step first, detoured to Beiyang Mountain, and invited out the famous doctor Yichunzi, who had been hiding from the world for many years.

"What does the master ask a famous doctor for? Where did you get hurt? Wang Jie asked me.

I shook my head, "Mrs. Cai Shao has been in a coma and has not woken up yet, I will ask Yichunzi to come and see for her." ”

Mrs. Cai?

"When did Lord Cai get married?" Wang Jie was surprised.

"Just a few days ago," I said, "you were still in Qi at that time." ”

It turned out that he had just gotten married, and there was no news on the battlefield, so it was no wonder he didn't know about it.

Wang Jie didn't ask anything more, just concentrated on hurrying up.

In addition to the officers and soldiers who stayed at the border, the rest of the soldiers all followed the general Jiang Hewei into Beijing, this road was mighty, but it really attracted a lot of onlookers, but because these are all people with swords and swords, no one of the people is dead, dare to block the road in front of the army, so this journey down the way, it is also smooth.

As soon as I arrived in the capital, I asked Wang Jie to send Dr. Yichunzi to Cai's Mansion first, and after taking a bath in the mansion, I left for the palace.

Emperor Qin's health has not been very good recently, but he still insists on handling government affairs in the imperial study every day, but every hour or so, he has to stop writing and drink medicine to rest.

When I came today, Emperor Qin happened to be standing by the window drinking medicine, and when he saw me coming, he immediately put down the medicine bowl.

"Aiqing came to see me, must everything have been done?"

I lifted my clothes and knelt down, "Yes, it's all done." ”

I took out a delicate small wooden box from my sleeve, and I respectfully raised it above my head, "Weichen does not dare to accept this order again, and I implore the emperor to take it back." ”

Emperor Qin glanced at the wooden box lightly, waved his hand, and asked Gonggong Li on the side to take the wooden box.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has another request." I bowed my head.

Emperor Qin walked back to the soft collapse and sat down, "Aiqing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The little prince of the country is not returned, in a vain attempt to sabotage the peace talks a month ago, to the death of the minister, the minister has already put him on the spot to correct the law, but his identity is special, in the country of Buda, there are many loyal to his old ministers, in order to prevent domestic turmoil, the minister begged the emperor to let him be buried with the gift of the prince, the mausoleum is built in the place of the peace talks - Yutang Pass, which is located at the junction of the three kingdoms, is the most suitable place."

There, too, he is in his own land.

The light in my eyes was dark, but it was finally extinguished.

Emperor Qin looked at me quietly for a while, then nodded slightly, "Just do what you want." ”

"Wechen thank the emperor." I fell to the ground and bowed.

Emperor Qin glanced up at me and asked me, "After the peace talks, according to Aiqing, how many years can the Qin country be peaceful?" ”

I thought for a moment, and then replied, "Five years." ”

At most, five years, whether it is Qin or Qi, the damaged national strength is enough to recover, the two countries are neighbors, and they are powerful countries, and it is inevitable that the two tigers will fight.

Either Qin Guo made the first move, or Qi Guo.

"Five years ......" Emperor Qin chewed slowly for a while, and sighed, "Five years is really too long." ”

I looked up at him.

I haven't seen him for a few months, his hair has turned half white, and his originally majestic and solemn face has aged a lot, and the entire dragon robe seems to be half empty in an instant, and the wind blows in from the window, blowing his robe bulging, as if it will go away with the wind at any time.

Five years, it's a long time.

For an emperor as such.

The same is true for me.

I walked out of the imperial study and met Cen Xi, who was about to go in to see Emperor Qi.

He looked me up and down gently, and when he saw that there was no missing arm or broken leg, the nerves that had been tense suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Dongyue Slope was originally a place valued by Pei Lu, and if you gave it to Qi Guo, aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you?" He asked me.

I smiled contemptuously.

"In the entire court, there are many people who want to take revenge on me, and he is not the only one."

With that, I flicked my sleeves and walked out of the palace.
