Xiao Jinxing closed his eyes, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes as the sound of footsteps climbing the ladder approached.

"Big Order, good news, good news."

An excited shout came into Xiao Jinxing's ears, causing Xiao Jinxing to laugh.

"Oh?

What would make you, the old patriarch who never smiles, happy to be like this?

Let's sit down and have a cup of tea.

When I was still in the Qin Kingdom, I heard that the Xia Yun Bilu of Xuchang, Hexi, was the crown of Great Qin tea.

This tea can only be picked after the rain in midsummer to not lose its taste, sweet and fragrant, and has an endless aftertaste. If it is picked at other times, it is no different from ordinary coarse tea.

Because of this magic, the annual output is very small, and it is said that only the Duke of Qin will take out the extra money to drink a few times when he pays tribute to Zhou Tianzi, which is extremely rare.

I happened to meet me today, Patriarch Qiuzi hurry up and enjoy the treatment of Zhou Tianzi. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Jinxing took out an empty cup and prepared to pour tea for Qiuzi. But he didn't expect that when Qiu Zi saw Xiao Jinxing slowly warming the cup and then washing the cup, he immediately sat on the ground and twisted left and right.

After a few breaths, Qiu Zi found that the pot of boiling water on the desk had been used, and the teacup that Xiao Jinxing handed to him was still empty.

When Xiao Jinxing ordered someone to fetch boiling water, the old patriarch couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and said with a smile:

"Da Shan Yu, Qiu Zi wants to drink this sip of water, I don't know if it will be until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon, I'll talk about things first."

Xiao Jinxing was stunned when he heard this, he raised his head and skimmed the shirtless man who was anxious, revealing a strange look.

After a while, he sighed faintly: "I know that what you said must be good news, so I want to make a pot of tea for you to celebrate, but seeing you so anxious, I know that you won't care about the quality of this pot of tea."

Forget it, I won't give it to you, otherwise it will waste my good tea. ”

After Xiao Jinxing finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth and smiled slightly, and then shook his head slightly.

Since entering the customs, I have repeatedly asked these tribesmen from the grassland to dress and practice etiquette, but this seems to be a trivial matter, but these people have never been able to do it.

Especially when summer came, these men on the grassland took off their animal skins and coarse clothes again, and began to shuttle naked through most of the territory of the Qin State they occupied.

Seeing that Da Shan Yu smiled slightly, although Qiu Zi didn't know what he was thinking, he finally touched his head embarrassedly and said:

"Da Danyu, I'll hurry up, after finishing speaking, this kid Zheto is still waiting for me to drink.

Say whatever you say this time, you have to drink him down, this kid has been holding back for so long to come to Qin State, and these days are even more complaining.

Let me go and kill his spirit first, lest his head reach up to the sky in the future.

However, Da Shan Yu was really calm, Zhetuo's 20,000 heavy armored cavalry were not sent into the pass until this time, and even when he fought with Fang Yuanheng, the big head never mentioned the most powerful cavalry on the grassland, it seems that Da Shan Yu must have felt that there was a more powerful role than Fang Yuanheng. ”

Seeing Qiuzi's serious appearance when he talked about the 20,000 heavily armored cavalry, Xiao Jinxing hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Hurry up and get down to business."

In fact, in my eyes, all the people and horses of your tribes are the elite divisions of my Great Xia Kingdom, and there is no distinction between powerful and unpowerful.

It is indeed useful for me to let Zheto, Jochi, Muhuali, and Sukuo enter the pass at this time, but this use cannot be told to you now, and they will not be sent in the near future. ”

After Qiu Zi listened to Xiao Jinxing's words, his face suddenly showed a strange face, but after a while, he hurriedly smiled:

"Da Dan Yu doesn't say that he has his own plans for Da Dan Yu, so Qiu Zi won't ask much." After finishing speaking, Qiuzi seemed to remember the extremely important news to be reported, and immediately said excitedly: "Da Shan Yu, do you know, the news that I just got today says that Xijing is in chaos, and it is completely chaotic. And it is said that Yongdaocheng's kid was also driven out of Xijing and defected to Zhao Zhihai. ”

"Oh?

Let's hear what kind of mess it is, and see if it matches what I guessed. Xiao Jinxing's eyes flashed, and he asked with a happy face.

And Qiuzi also hurriedly recounted the news from the spies to Xiao Jinxing in detail.

After a while, Xiao Jinxing watched the excited Qiuzi finish talking incoherently, and then picked up a cup of freshly brewed green tea, put it in front of his nose, took a slight breath, and closed his eyes.

Qiu Zi looked at Da Shan Yu's appearance, and also curiously sniffed the tea in front of him, but after half a breath, he retracted his head with a disappointed look on his face, and looked at Xiao Jinxing, who was still immersed in the fragrance of tea, and made a noncommittal action.

"What's so good about this, doesn't it smell lighter than those brick teas? It's strange where there is a refreshing drink. ”

Qiu Zi said in his heart, but as soon as he finished muttering, he saw Xiao Jinxing's suddenly open eyes.

"Order, let Zhezhe send 30,000 horses from west to east into Hexi, camp outside Baili County and wait, Qiuzi Patriarch and I will lead 50,000 horses and horses to set off south in three days to join Zhezhe.

It's time for a war, but it's not just about defeating them. ”

After listening to Xiao Jinxing's arrangement, Qiuzi was slightly stunned and said:

"Da Danyu, Baili and Qiushu are at most more than 30,000 Yongluan's men and horses, why do those people need our 80,000 troops together?

Besides, there are still Qin troops in the northern counties of Xuchang, so what if they sneak attack from behind our backs. ”

Xiao Jinxing smiled lightly, he stood up and patted Qiuzi who was puzzled, turned around and walked down the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.

Naturally, he would not tell Qiuzi that the generals of the counties in the north of Hexi were in the city of Xuchang that he occupied at the moment.

And although there are not many internal reports that he sent to Qi Country many years ago, and the news he got is even more vague, he can still let himself have clues to find.

Qi will send troops to help, although he is not sure how many people will come and where to help, but he feels that with the change in Xijing, they will finally get involved.

Then, their own army is waiting for their arrival in Baili and Qiuji.

Compared with fighting hard with the Qin-Qi coalition army in a super fortress like Gyeonggi, it is better to let the Qi army come to a small plain city like Baili and Qiushu to fight a decisive battle with themselves.

In this battle, Xiao Jinxing not only had to take revenge and annihilate the invading Qi army, but also took the Qi country in one fell swoop.

"Qing'er, I'm going to avenge you. No country in the world can be destroyed, but only the country of Qi must perish!

That was the only price he and they had to pay for what they had to pay back then. ”

……

Among the ruins and ruins in Xuchang City, except for the occasional few people walking on the street, all of them are Rong people.

In the previous year, the city had been repeatedly fought over by the Qin people and rebels, and it was like purgatory.

Even those people who appeared sporadically among the ruins and ruins were refugees who were finally found by the Rong people from a radius of hundreds of miles around.

Although the Rong people gave them land, just like Lingzhou and Qinlan counties, they gave them the promise of thirty taxes and one tax, but what is the effect of such a big empty city.

In a ruined house in a corner of Xuchang City, Yu Lihua silently watched Yu Xin'er hand the hot butter tea to herself.

Then she sat a few feet away from herself, holding her cheeks and staring at her with affection, and her heart suddenly felt quite warm.

This is how the two of them spent every day for the past few days. Even Lihua felt that a few days in this room, with only a tattered roof and a slightly better stone wall, was the life she wanted the most.

And the pain under his knees is not worth mentioning compared to the happiness he has obtained, and he vaguely feels that it is because he has encountered such an accident that he will meet his beloved again.

"Brother Lili, drink while it's hot.

More than ten days have passed, and the people sent out should also have news back, so don't worry, brother. ”

Xin'er said softly to Lihua that she originally wanted to smile at Lihua, but she suddenly felt that it would be a little inappropriate to do so.

If the news is not good news but bad news, then how should I face the man in front of me.

Therefore, after Xin'er finished speaking, she lowered her head as if she was a little embarrassed, and then said softly: "It would be nice if you and I met when there was no war." ”

Zhu Lihua had long been accustomed to the straightforward speaking style of the woman in front of her, so although she was still stunned when she heard such love words, she still smiled bitterly and shook her head after a while.

When Yu Xin'er's white horse rushed to his carriage in the last rays of the sunset, when he saw the owner of the white horse take off the silver helmet on his head and reveal his haunting face, he knew that he had finally become Yu Xin'er's prisoner.

It's just that he is a prisoner who is extremely comfortable, because under Yu Xin'er's care, his legs and the injuries on his body are recovering quite well, and Yu Xin'er also took the initiative to send people to Yuanzhou to investigate the whereabouts of his family.

At this time, Zhu Lihua faced Yu Xin'er, hiding a lot of things in his heart, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

Finally, he just stared down at the jade man in front of him with affection, blushed and slowly drank the oil tea in his hand.

"Although you look good when you drink oil tea, it's too grinding.

I don't know what's good about you, I'm going to like you fool. ”

Xin'er heard Lihua snorting and drinking oil tea, and knew that this man who was even shyer than herself finally didn't want to talk to her about it, so she raised her head and teased him.

Hearing this, she was slightly stunned, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly, and her originally red cheeks became more and more rosy.

"Brother Li, when the messenger comes, are you leaving?"

The "shy" Zhu Lihua suddenly heard Yu Xin'er ask him about this, and suddenly trembled, and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he just raised his head and said, "Xin'er, I." After these words, he saw a jade hand stretched out in front of his mouth, as if to prevent him from continuing.
