Chapter Seventy-Four: Duty

"The king is recovering the rites!" A few years ago, the palace was full of music, and last month all the music began to be restored, and everyone praised Yingdu for a while.

"My Chu country is a country of etiquette and music, not a country of barbarians." More people said they were proud of it.

"What a bunch of sour people!" The honorable man who was standing on the car floated by, disdainful of the leader of the scholar and the crowd of people.

"General, why is the king happy?" Behind the Yushi car, there was Ruo Ao riding a horse. He is already a general, but as soon as he enters Yingdu, he still hopes to go to the former wine shop and drink with his former wine guests and comrades.

"The king is bewildered by the Confucian scholars." Ruo Ao, who was riding on a horse, raised his head alone and poured a sip of wine before answering the questions of Mao and the others. "If Lile is useful, why does the Chu State still need armor?"

"Mother, why does Brother Wang's sleep play music every day?" When there was a lot of discussion outside the palace, there were also people in the palace who were talking in a whisper, and Xiong Han was one of them.

"The king was taught by the prince, so he played music every day to become a gentleman." Years have passed, and Concubine Li is no longer under house arrest. In the days of stability, she seemed to have forgotten that her son almost became king, and she also forgot Yang Wenjun, who had high hopes back then.

"Already a gentleman?" Xiong is a few years younger than Xiong Jing, he is twelve years old this year, and his early ordeal has made him precocious. He didn't believe his mother's white lies, and asked: "The child heard that Brother Wang loved Mi Nu Gongzi, and Mi Nu Gongzi had been named a good person by the King of Qin, so Brother Wang was furious......

"Silence!" Although her son's words were not disrespectful, Concubine Li was still worried that these words would displease the Queen Mother.

"Why be silenced?" Xiong Han tilted his head in confusion. "Is what the child said wrong?"

"Hu'er!" Concubine Li feigned anger. "Can you say anything about the king? How does your mother teach you on a daily basis? ”

"However, the queen mother's teaching and the Taifu's teaching are different." Xiong Han felt that he was living in two worlds, one was the bright world taught by Fu Bao, and the other was the practical world taught by his mother. "The child thinks that if Brother Wang loves the princess, why don't you go to Qin to welcome her back?"

As a person who was once guilty, of course Concubine Li didn't dare to say that Xiong Hu's Fu Bao was wrong, and she was right. She could only reply according to her son's meaning: "The princess is in the Qin State, and the Qin State is the enemy country of my Chu State, how can the king welcome him in person?" ”

Concubine Li was stunned when she said this, he didn't know much that the Qin State was still at odds with the Chu State, after all, it had been a truce between Chu and Qin for several years. Concubine Li said again: "The king is the king of my Chu king, how can he risk entering Qin?" ”

"Brother Wang is the king of my Chu State, and he really can't take risks to enter Qin, but why don't my Chu State ministers share their worries for Brother Wang?" Xiong asked this question surprisingly and very naturally. His question left Concubine Li speechless.

If the king must abide by the duty of the king, what is the duty of the courtiers? On the morning of this day, the same principle was reversed in Fei Jing's heart. As the cavalry guard of Xiong Jing in the Battle of Chen Ying, he knew about the relationship between the king and the Mi Girl, and he also saw the beautiful dance of the Lady Mi. At that moment, he felt that in this world, apart from his Qianyue, the Mi Girl was the most beautiful.

"What are you thinking?" Every day when I get up, my wife Qianyue helps Fei Jing get dressed, and at this moment, the jade belt around her waist has obviously been tied, but Fei Jing stands still.

"I'm thinking about ......," Fei Jing looked at his wife. His sons are already enrolled in school, and he can find scattered gray hair on his head, but his wife doesn't seem to be getting old, just like she saw in the women's market. The difference is that his wife had a cold face back then, and everyone was afraid and vigilant, but now she is the wife of Shangqing, gentle and generous.

"Why are you looking at me?" Her husband's gaze made Yuyue blush.

"I'm thinking," Fei Jing continued the previous topic. "The king can't enter Qin to take the princess back to Chu, so what about me? Eat the king's luck, and be loyal to the king. Why can't we join the king of the Qin Dynasty to do this? ”

"You want to enter Qin?!" The blush on Ruiyue's face disappeared, and her face began to turn pale. She is a Zhao person and knows the barbarism of the Qin people. However, just when Concubine Jing was stunned by her reaction, she turned to smile and said, "What the beloved said, the concubine thinks so." That is, the minister of the king, he should be loyal to his affairs, otherwise how can he be a minister? ”

"You don't have to worry about me." How could he not understand his wife's smile, he took her hand and shook it hard.

"Why should I worry about you?" Qi Yue laughed again, this time the smile was no longer stiff, it was all gentle. "Go ahead." She said.

The cavalry camp was in the Shaobi military camp, and Yu Jing was used to riding horses rather than riding in a car. His mount was a castrated satin-black Nissa horse, tall and muscular. After leaving the city with his guards, he sprinted as usual. For a while, the wind of people and horses blew through the official road with few pedestrians in the early summer morning, and the guards on the horses couldn't catch up with them.

"Woo ......!" After running for a while, Fei Jing slowed down, and the barracks had arrived.

"General Concubine," a soldier appeared strangely at the door of the barracks.

"What?" Fei Jing dismounted and handed over the mount to Yu Tong.

"General Xiang, please go to the military tent of the Second Division." The commander led the way in front, and the second division he said was the second cavalry division, and the division commander Xiang Chao.

When Fu Jing walked into the tent of the Second Cavalry Division, he found that there were also several officers in the First Division, and the commander of the Third Division abandoned his heels, although these people saluted him, they were silent, and there was an indescribable expectation in their eyes.

"With all due respect." After everyone sat down, Xiang Chao's expression changed and he spoke solemnly. "Son-in-law, does Zijing know?"

"Yes." Yu Jing smiled, and after answering, he glanced around at everyone, especially the commander of the Third Cavalry Division, who was square and heavy.

"Now that you know, do you dare to enter Qin with us and welcome the young son back to Chu?" Xiang Chao didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly if he wanted or not.

"Who are we?" Fei Jing looked at it again, "How do we enter Qin, and how do we welcome the young son back to Chu?" ”

Fu Jing's words made everyone in the audience ponder. Wishes are wishes, but without a good strategy, no matter how good a wish is, it cannot be implemented. After the establishment of the Great Sima Mansion, the Chu army's ability in battle planning, tactical application, and logistical support has indeed become stronger, but this is because on the whole, the staff ability of all divisions across the country has weakened. Especially now, hundreds of strategists and thousands of staff officers from all divisions across the country have gathered in Yangyuntai in the northwest of Yingdu.

"Do you dare to answer first?" Xiang Chao looked at Fei Jing and was not calm. Fu Jing was not only the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, but also the commander of the entire cavalry army, and if he didn't want to, no one would be able to make the trip.

"It's not that you don't dare, but how do you make it?" Fei Jing Road. "The country of Qin is a land of four stops, and the son of the girl is in Huayang Palace in Xianyang, how can we enter Qin? And how to find the woman? And how to make it return to Qin safely? ”

"What Zijing said is reasonable." Abandon the heel road. "Now it's not about daring or not, it's about how to do it. The strategists in the army are not there, how to enter Qin, how to find people, and how to get out of Qin, this is also difficult. ”

The words of abandoning the heel are discouraged, and the knight can only play the role of the knight with the help of the strategist, and now there are only knights and no strategists, and no matter how bold he is, he can't share the worries of the king.

"I know one person, he will be able to ......" In the midst of everyone's disappointment, Fu Jing ignited everyone's hope again.

"Where is he?!" Xiang Chao grabbed Fei Jing's arm and asked anxiously where this person was. "Last month, the young lady of Mi has already sued the temple, and after next month, she will share the bed with the king of Qin."

"This person ......" Of course, Fei Jing also knew that time was running out, so he only said: "This person is not in Chu State." ”

"Where is it if it's not in the state of Chu?" Xiang Chao asked, the farthest is Zhao Guo, he wants to find this person immediately.

"He's ......" Yu Jing smiled wryly, and the answer was desperate: "He's in the Qin State." ”

"Qin State?" The place to go is the Qin State, and the role of the strategist is to make everyone prepare everything before entering Qin, not to find this person after entering Qin. "Who is this person?" Someone asked.

*

On the Wuguan Road, Lu Gao, who was returning to Chu in a carriage, did not know that he had become the focus of discussion among a cavalry general. He was just smarter than the others, and his wish in this life was to marry a princess in order to increase the declining prestige of the Lu family. Why can Xiang be crowned? Why can the Cheng clan do Zhu Ao? I can do it too.

Fei Jing knew him because when he and Lu Qian chased after Zhan Li's car a few months ago, it was Fei Jing who accompanied him. And he returned to Chu alone because the Great Sima Mansion was eager to get information about Wuguandao. Lu Chan was stupid, stayed in Xianyang and continued to work as a medicine boy for Yan Li, and all the information he had learned along the way was in his mind.

In the scorching summer, along the wide and flat post road of the Qin State, the carriage traveled ninety miles a day, and Rao was like this, and it still took him sixteen days to rush from Xianyang to Fuyi, which was handed over by Qin and Chu. As soon as he entered the customs, the people from the Great Sima Mansion appeared in front of him, and the concubine Jing who rode with him a few months ago also appeared in front of him. It was only after following these people for only a hundred and ten steps that Lu Gao found that something was wrong: instead of escorting him to Yiling Mansion, everyone went to a private house in the west of the city.

Fei Jing is the general of the cavalry, and the general of the cavalry is the spy of the Marquis of Qin? Lu Gao suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet when he thought of this. He tried his best to restrain his trembling, and as the carriage turned, he slammed into the back door of the carriage and was about to crash out of the carriage.

There was a loud bang in the carriage, the door shattered, and Lu Gao also fell out of the car. However, before he could get up, a noose was put around his neck, so that he could not make a sound even when he was about to scream. Lu Gao at the moment of life and death was extremely calm, he grabbed the rope with one hand and quickly drew the sword with the other, but the disaster came again, the heavy blow to the back of the head made his body tremble, and the whole person shook twice and carried it down.

"You!" Yan Jing looked at Cheng Kui who was shooting arrows and was furious.

"Just fainting." Cheng Kui's arrow was sent and received by heart, and when he shot it, he broke the arrow, only to stun Lu Gao.

"Alas!" Fei Jing sighed violently. He just wanted to invite Lu Gao to a place where it was convenient to speak, but he didn't expect him to be so alert. When Lu Gao broke through the carriage, he said in his heart that it was not good, if he really wanted to be shouted by him, everything would be over.

"How is this supposed to be?" Xiang Chao took the lasso, and he had just wrapped Lu Gao's neck around it.

"Get out of here." Fei Jing looked around a few times as a thief, and quickly ordered someone to carry Lu Gao into the carriage.
