Chapter 15 Departure
It is said that just as Jing Ran and Gongsun Zhi were discussing the situation in the world by the river, Xiaoyue also rode a horse from a distance, still wearing the same red uniform, still the same heroic and chic.
"Phew!"
Xiao Yue grabbed the reins, stopped at the horse, and looked at Gongsun Zhi as a whole not very gentle coquette.
"Ah Weng, do you know that my father has decreed that he will pull me back to Yongdu to marry some bullshit little prince!"
After finishing speaking, he immediately stared at Gongsun Zhi.
And when Jing Ran heard this, there was a trace of regret in the letter.
Gongsun Zhi motioned to Xiaoyue to get off the horse first, and then said lightly: "It's not that I know, but your father's will has reached my mansion, and there are more than a hundred royal forest troops, your father said, no matter what this time, I won't let you mess around anymore." ”
Xiao Yue didn't mean to get off the horse, but just looked at Gongsun Zhi, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears kept flowing down like beads with broken threads.
"Awn, I see."
After saying that, he turned the horse's head and galloped away.
At this time, Jing Ran was already standing beside Gongsun Zhi.
"Ah Weng, what the princess said is true."
Gongsun Zhi looked at Jing Ran, "The affairs of this world, if they can be solved by a daughter's family, how can they use a knife." ”
After saying that, he paced and walked towards the carriage.
It turned out that when Qin was fighting with Zhao, the Xirong tribe saw that it was profitable, so they stationed 50,000 cavalry on the border of Qin in the west, although the number was small, but they were all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and they didn't give you a chance to catch him at all, plus the Qin Zhao war, the new defeat of Qin, the king of Qin wanted to win this victory in the east out of Zhongzhou, all the energy of the country was in the east, and now Xirong came to attack, which was undoubtedly a big problem for the king of Qin.
Fight and can't fight, and peace can't be easily sustained.
At this time, Xirong sent envoys to Yongdu, but surprisingly, they did not come here to declare war, but to meet the king of Qin as a gift of their sons and nephews.
The person who asked for it was Princess Da Qinyue.
In Daqin and Xirong, I have long heard that the princess of the moon is skilled in bowing and horses, and she has the style of a good woman in ancient times, and the little prince of Xirong and the princess of the moon are of the same age, and the prince has been fascinated by the princess of the moon for a long time, so he came to ask for marriage.
But how can things be so simple, if it is just a princess, King Qin will never hesitate, just marry directly, but Xirong proposed to ask the princess to bring a dowry, this dowry is the grassland with abundant water and grass in Liangzhou at the junction of Qin and Xirong.
Like this kind of request, if in the past, the Qin State would only laugh and order the guests to be sent off, it was really uninteresting, and it would be a battle, and the iron cavalry left by the King of Zhaoxiang of Great Qin could not defeat the Chu State, could not beat Xirong? But the reality is that the Great Qin Iron Cavalry Gongsun rode on the front line of Qin and Zhao, and now the country is fighting on both sides, and it is impossible to fight with Xirong at all.
So on the one hand, the king of Qin ordered Gongsun Zhi to go to the front line, and on the other hand, he ordered 100 people from the Imperial Forest Army to "pick up" the princess back to the palace.
Where is this courtship, it is simply robbery.
No matter how the Qin State is located in the west, no matter how barbaric it is, he does not seek civilization, but he is also a line of Zhongzhou, how can he let the little barbarians be humiliated.
"No!"
Jing Ran suddenly shouted after learning that he really wanted to.
Gongsun Zhi looked at him lightly, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. But he didn't refute it, because he also knew it was impossible. Even for the sake of his granddaughter, he must not, but how can he interfere in this kind of thing.
But when he saw Jing Ran, he already had a plan in his heart, didn't King Qin agree to marry Chu State? You didn't say which princess, if the princess was robbed by the king of Chu now, the king of Qin would have nothing to say, if you have the ability, Xirong will go to Chu to snatch the princess back.
But he can't say this to Jing Ran, he just doesn't know how Jing Ran feels about Xiao Yue, if Jing Ran is really interested in Xiao Yue, he will never watch Xiao Yue marry Xirong, if Jing Ran really has no intention of Xiao Yue, it can only mean that Xiao Yue is so dead.
Thinking of this, the more Gongsun Zhi looked at Jing Ran, the more pleasing he felt, and the more he liked it in his heart.
Moreover, Jing Ran's status is noble, and now he is fleeing from the country, as the saying goes, the icing on the cake is the icing on the cake, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, as long as the war is over, he and the Qin State help him to restore the country, and the Great Qin and Great Chu are good in-laws, and the door of the Qin State to the east is opened!
But on the way back to the two, Jing Ran was speechless, and Gongsun Zhi didn't know how to mention it, so the two came to Gongsun Zhi's mansion without a sound.
"Childe, we've been here for too long, I'm afraid that Jingyu and the others will find this place sooner or later, and I'm afraid that after our identities are exposed, the Qin State won't get along well."
Zhang Daring saw that after Jing Ran came back, his face was completely devoid of the joy when he went out, so he thought about reminding Jing Ran and immediately set off for Jinyang.
But Jing Ran's next words surprised Zhang Daring.
"General Zhang, my identity Gongsun has long known."
"Ahh
Zhang Daring had a great fear in his heart: "He is the Shangzhu State of Western Qin, after our identity is exposed, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have other thoughts, Childe, let's go!" ”
Jing Ran knew that what Zhang Daring said was right, and now it was the right choice to leave this place of right and wrong, but Xiaoyue's matter made him more worried.
Jing Ran's thoughts, how could Zhang Daring not know that he was many years older than Jing Ran, although he had been in the army for many years and had not yet married, but Jing Ran's thoughts, how could he not understand.
"Childe, state affairs are important!"
After speaking, Zhang Daring knelt in front of Jing Ran, Jing Ran saw him like this, and quickly helped him up, although he was reluctant in his heart, but Zhang Daring's sentence "State affairs are important" was like a sharp knife stuck in Jing Ran's heart.
"We'll leave overnight!"
I decided that although I was reluctant, compared with my own country, what kind of feelings I couldn't give up.
Zhang Daring saw that Jing Ran was upset, but the order had been issued, and he was also relieved in his heart, so he retreated immediately.
"The little ones are going to prepare now."
Jing Ran sat alone in a chair, I don't know how long it took.
"The King?"
It turned out to be Baoyu, and he also knew what was going on, this little eunuch followed him all the way, and he had suffered enough, although Jing Ran didn't say it, he had already regarded him as his best friend.
"Baoyu, I have to make a choice now, I don't know how to choose, what do you say."
Baoyu heard Jing Ran say this, and was also thinking about it, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and took out three Qin State coins from his sleeve.
"Look, the king, this Qin coin is round on the outside and square on the inside, divided into two sides, one side is yin, and the other side is yang, the king can throw it away at will, tell the choice to God, and let the sky help the king choose."
After speaking, he handed over the coin to Jing Ran and slowly retreated. And outside the door, there were not only Baoyu, but also more than 30 sergeants of Zhang Daring and Xiao Cavalry.
A quarter of an hour later, Jing Ran came out.
"I'm going to bid farewell to Lord Gongsun."
After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Baoyu and the others.
And at this time, Gongsun Zhi was also waiting for Jing Ran's arrival, and just when Jing Ran made a decision, the Imperial Forest Army also took Xiao Yue away, and it is estimated that he will be out of the city soon.
"My lord, Mr. Jing is here."
The subordinates in the mansion had already been ordered by Gongsun, and Jing Ran came and was immediately led into the study.
Jing Ran entered the study like this, and then he saw Gongsun Zhi, who was already dressed in military uniform.
"Ong, this is..."
Gongsun Zhi motioned for Jing Ran to take a seat, and said leisurely: "I'm going to leave the city tonight, the battle situation ahead has changed, and I'm leaving." ”
"The princess..."
Gongsun Zhi saw Jing Ran asking, and suddenly smiled, this kid is really interested in Xiaoyue.
"Satsuki is already out of town."
"Oh..."
"Little brother, maybe it's a little inappropriate for me to call you that, what should I call you? The king of Chu, or..."
Jing Ran is not a fool, Gongsun Zhi has already hinted so obviously, either he is called the king, or he is the son-in-law of the grandson!
"Aon, I want to know which gate the princess went out of."
Jing Ran had already stood up from his chair at this time, his face full of eagerness.
"Simon."
"Thank you, Awn. See you in the city! ”
After saying that, he made a gesture, turned around and went out, and never looked back.
Gongsun Zhi looked at Jing Ran who was walking away blankly, and remembered what a businessman said:
"Farmer, how profitable is it?"
"How profitable is a businessman?"
"Assist the monarch of a country, help him make a comeback, and make a lot of profits!"
In this world, there are more discounted transactions, but in this transaction, there is only profit, no loss! The king of a country, life and death are taken away.
It's worth it! Besides, you can let your granddaughter have a good home, why not. Thinking of this, the smile in Gongsun Zhi's eyes became more and more intense.
"Someone, tell everyone in the house, and set off immediately and go to the front line!"
At this time, Jing Ran was also in front of his room, looking at the soldiers in front of him who fled with him.
"Gentlemen, after tonight, I will be the last reliance in this world, because I have to do something that follows my heart."
Saying that, he looked at Baoyu, Baoyu didn't know that when Jing Ran was about to throw the coin, he already had the answer in his heart.
"Brothers, I know that this time will put you in danger, so if you want to leave, I will not stop you, and I will ask Gongsun to take you to Hexi."
Jing Ran said, looking at the group of people who followed him.
"The little one swears to follow the son, and the world can learn from it."
Zhang Daring and Baoyu stood up first and made a heavy oath.
Most of the people below knew what Jing Ran meant by calling everyone this time, and this time he was really going to sacrifice his brothers' lives for a woman.
Everyone was chattering and discussing at the moment.
"I still have an old mother, wife and children, and son in my family to forgive my sins."
Saying that, a sergeant of the cavalry guard stood up, bowing his head, and then two more people stood up, Zhang Daring's eyes were full of anger, but Jing Ran looked at Zhang Daring and signaled him not to be angry.
Jing Ran walked down and patted the shoulders of the sergeants who had withdrawn in turn.
"Brothers, I know your hardships, and I thank you brothers for being with me until now."
As he spoke, he bowed deeply.
The sergeants also knelt on the ground and said nothing. Jing Ran helped them up one by one, took out a letter from his clothes, and handed it to them.
"This is a letter I wrote to Lord Gongsun, he will understand, if there is a fate, we will see you in Jinyang!"
With that, he sent a few people away.
"I'll swear to follow Childe to the death!"
The remaining twenty-seven worshipped themselves.
Jing Ran's face turned pale, and he touched the short sword on his waist.
"Let's go to Simon!"
Jing Ran and his entourage went to the West City Gate in addition to the gate of the mansion.
And at this time, Xiao Yue didn't know that the one who could get out of the sea of suffering was the disciple she kept saying that she wanted to "show him the color".
Gongsun Zhi also led his family out of the city from the east gate and went to the front line, his heart was also uneasy, on the one hand, he was happy to know Jing Ran's thoughts, and on the other hand, he was worried about Jing Ran's situation.
"It's really up to heaven this time."
