It took Qin Chuan a whole morning to walk through the four rooms, and at the same time expressed the same meaning to the people in the four rooms, that is: If you want to go, I won't stop you. But if you don't want to go, I'll do my best to protect you. Not only that, but he also inquired about the situation in the middle room.

Everyone's answer was almost unanimous, that is, the person inside was dangerous, and it was best not to provoke that person unless necessary.

Qin Chuan thought about it in his heart for a moment, and then decided not to provoke that person first, at least not until Wu Shang or Baili Sword came back. Even if you are curious, curiosity is not as important as your life.

When Old Man Sun walked in from outside the courtyard gate, Qin Chuan had just come out of the last room. Seeing Old Man Sun, Qin Chuan hurriedly stepped forward, with a look of concern on his face, and asked, "Grandpa Sun, how are things going?" ”

Old man Sun naturally knew the meaning of Qin Chuan's words, sighed and shook his head and said: "That Mengshan Tiger is really hateful, although he promised to give a reply in three days on the surface, it is unlikely that he can come back." ”

"If you can't come back, forget it, it's just four hundred gold, and it's not in the way." Qin Chuan said with relief.

"That's four hundred gold, how many things can you do." Old man Sun suddenly said with some distress.

"Grandpa, grandpa." Er Ya also ran over and threw herself into Old Man Sun's arms.

Old man Sun touched Erya's little head a little dotingly, and then a serious look appeared on his face, and he said to Qin Chuan: "Childe, it is always a little inconvenient here, according to the little old man, it is best to change places." ”

"A different place? Isn't it good here? Qin Chuan asked with a little confusion.

Old man Sun looked around, then pulled Qin Chuan aside, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it, although the location here is good, it is too close to the General's Mansion, once we have some trouble here, the General's Mansion will know it as soon as possible, and the precautions here have also increased a lot in recent days." ”

Qin Chuan was still a little hesitant.

"It's indispensable to guard against people." Old man Sun said a little anxiously.

In fact, Qin Chuan has also been a little subtle in the past few days, since he entered this courtyard, he can often see soldiers passing by the gate of the courtyard, and some bold soldiers have stopped to look inside for a while. Originally, I thought it was the curiosity of those soldiers, but now that I think about it, it is very likely that those soldiers were sent by the Mengshan Tiger to monitor him.

After making up his mind, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the old man Sun in front of him, and said respectfully: "Then everything will be left to Grandpa Sun." ”

Old man Sun stroked his beard and nodded, with a hint of a smile in his eyes. Although Qin Chuan is not very old, even younger than Erya's age, Old Man Sun has never regarded Qin Chuan as a child. Ever since he first met Qin Chuan, he vaguely felt that Qin Chuan had an indescribable temperament.

Especially in recent times, after a long period of contact, although sometimes, Qin Chuan will still reveal the naughty and innocent side of children, but more of a maturity that only adults have.

Those who have achieved great things in ancient times will inevitably have a strong head, and they have shown an unusual temperament since childhood. Although Qin Chuan's appearance is no different from that of ordinary children, in terms of temperament, he is definitely a lot higher than ordinary children. It is precisely for this reason that Old Man Sun has more expectations for Qin Chuan.

After lunch, after Qin Chuan and Erya left here, Old Man Sun turned around the four rooms with a straight face as if he owed him a few iron coins without changing them. There was not a hint of politeness in his words, as if he were a real slave, and he told the people in the four rooms that they were leaving.

There was no imaginary resistance, and there was no such thing as rebellion against Old Man Sun's posture, but the people in the four rooms really regarded themselves as slaves, and they were submissive to Old Man Sun's words, and they said yes again and again.

In the next few days, the slaves in the four rooms left Linyuan City in batches under the arrangement of Old Man Sun, and the small courtyard outside the city where Qin Chuan was recuperating became crowded for a while. And the news of the departure of several people reached the hands of Meng Sanhu as soon as possible.

Meng Shanhu looked at the three pieces of letter paper on the table with a gloomy face, and after hesitating for a long time, he took out one of them and kneaded it vigorously in his hand.

In Liyang City, Wei Ying rarely did not deal with official business today, and called Che Ying, who had just returned to the city, into his mansion, and also called Jing Jian who had been recuperating at home.

Although the Qin State won a great victory in the battle of Yuanyuan City a year ago, for the Jing Jian who really participated in it, his heart seemed to have been hit by a huge blow, especially after returning to Liyang City, he stayed at home all day to close his door on the grounds of recuperating from his injuries.

Wei Ying knew where the knot in this old friend's heart was, so today he took Che Ying out to drink on the grounds that he was picking up the wind.

After three rounds of drinking, Wei Ying put down his wine glass and said to the two: "After the spring ploughing, the war will come, and this war still depends on the cooperation of the two." ”

"For the sake of the Great Qin State, this is an unshirkable matter, and Da Liangzao does not need to say much." Cha Ying put down the wine glass and clenched his fists and said.

Jing Jian drank silently, as if he hadn't heard Wei Ying's words.

"Jing Jian, you and I have been friends for many years, aren't you optimistic about this war? Or is there something on your mind? Today, as far as the three of us brothers are concerned, we don't have to worry about our official positions, so let's let it go. Wei Ying looked at Jing Jian and said comfortingly.

After listening to Wei Ying's words, Jing Jian drank all the wine in the cup, wiped the wine stains on his mouth with his sleeve, took a deep breath, and said word by word: "In this war, there is little hope for the Qin State to win. ”

After saying this, Wei Ying looked at him without changing his face, and Che Ying also frowned.

Jing Jian poured another glass of wine, and said with some self-deprecation: "It's not that I have the ambition of others to destroy my prestige, it's just because the strategists who lobbied the sixteen tribes of Rongdi to attack the Qin State came out of the Great General's Mansion of the Wei State, this person is not only good at fighting and killing, but also has a very accurate grasp of the situation, you know, my 5,000 cavalry was defeated in the hands of this person." ”

Jing Jian drank the wine in the cup again, paused, and spoke again: "Speaking from the heart, if it wasn't for the accident in Fenyuan City, that person would have already broken through Fenyuan City, if so, the consequences would ......."

"Brother Jing Jian, is this true?" Cha Ying asked hurriedly.

Che Ying did not participate in the battle of the Rongdi tribe to attack Qin a few years ago, and his knowledge of that war was only limited to the war report in the army, which was only slightly more detailed than the rumors circulating in the market. Therefore, when I heard Jing Jian talk about the inside story of that war, I became a little anxious.

"What he said was true." Wei Ying sighed and affirmed Jing Jian's words.

"Brother Jing Jian, tell me what happened?" Che Ying asked impatiently.

Jing Jian looked up at Wei Ying, who was sitting next to him, and when he saw Wei Ying's affirmative eyes, he slowly told some of the secrets of that battle one by one.

Che Ying listened carefully, he was a person who understood the battle array, so when he heard Jing Jian's narration, he instantly sketched a scene in his mind of Rong Di's soldiers defeating the five thousand Qin army with great momentum.

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't worry about Brother Jingjian." Cha Ying opened his mouth to comfort.

Jing Jian didn't care, and said the more incredible news in a low voice.

"What? Are you telling the truth? After listening to Jing Jian's words, Che Ying suddenly stood up and looked at Jing Jian with an angry face.

"Cha Ying, don't be angry." Wei Ying said in a flat tone.

"How can I not be angry? He's only six years old, so why can't you bear to let him carry so many burdens? And the most unforgivable thing is that the reputation of this war has been rightfully replaced. Che Ying's eyes were red, and she yelled at the two in a hoarse voice.

"Doesn't your conscience hurt when you do this?"

In the face of Che Ying's questioning, Jing Jian buried his head in drinking, and Wei Ying had a look of guilt on his face, and said to Che Ying: "Che Ying, don't be angry, the matter has passed, and we also had unspeakable hardships at that time." ”

"What's your problem?" Cha Ying still yelled at Wei Ying with righteous indignation.

"Things are complicated here, I can't say a sentence or two, I can only tell you that Qin Chuan is still alive." A look of grief also appeared on Wei Ying's face, and he drank several glasses of wine in succession.

After being silent for a long time, Che Ying suppressed the anger in her heart, sat behind the desk, and looked at the two with a gloomy face, but in the end she did not vent the anger in her heart.

"Che Ying, I know that you are extremely angry in your heart, but you must know that he is the son of the monarch and the son of the Qin State after all, and there are some things that he must bear, and this is his life. It's something you and I can't control. Wei Ying explained in a gloomy whisper.

He understood what Wei Ying said, but he always felt a kind of distress in his heart for the child who had been abandoned, especially after being treated unfairly this time, this feeling in his heart became even stronger.

Sitting limp on the floor, the only thing he could do was pour the wine from the bowl into his mouth.

"I came to the two of you this time, just hoping that you can go to the border and bring Qin Chuan back." Wei Ying slowly said the purpose of finding two people to drink this time.

Jing Jian raised his head and looked at Wei Ying in some surprise, while Che Ying stood up directly and volunteered: "This is a trivial matter, I will go to the border tomorrow." ”

Wei Ying looked at Jing Jian.

Jing Jian shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of causing chaos?" There ...... the national army"

"In the world of great contention, you can't keep cowering at the border, and after coming to Liyang City, it's more convenient to take care of it. As for the king, I have my own words. Wei Ying explained calmly on his face.

Jing Jian took a deep look at this former friend, as if the familiar figure before had become a little unfamiliar.

"That's right, even if you fail, it's better to have a few of us to support you than at the border where birds don't." Cha Ying agrees with this statement.

"Brother Che Ying, the war is approaching, and you must not be able to get out, so let's go, I was originally asked to go." Jing Jian looked at Wei Ying and said.

"Hahaha, Jing Jian is also the one who knows me." Wei Ying laughed a few times and raised the wine glass in his hand.

Che Ying hesitated for a long time, then sighed, clasped his fists at Jing Jian and said, "Then this time it will be troublesome Brother Jing Jian." ”

Jing Jian also raised his wine glass, and the three of them glanced at each other, and quickly drank the wine in the wine glass.
