Chapter 110: The Envoy is Please
There will never be an impermeable wall in the world, and Lu Fang still seems to be aware of the previous order in Beijing.
Qin Shen naturally knew that this was not intentionally revealed by a few of his own people, but for these feudal officials from other counties, who had not arranged a few people in Kyoto to inquire about the news?
Lu Fang hadn't been there since he visited the day after his assassination.
But from time to time, the other party sent people to investigate all the movements on the grounds of concern for the injury, and he still felt the abnormality in it, but with the previous prevention, the other party naturally couldn't find any problems, not to mention that he did not move abnormally.
And Gu Xiyu came to visit from time to time, but every time she was served by the picturesque thief-proof side, and there was no ambiguity between the two.
This situation made him breathe a sigh of relief, but he also felt a little less fun.
More than ten days passed in this state of calm and turbulence on the surface, and his injuries improved greatly, and the wounds gradually scarred.
Just to avoid more trouble caused by meeting Lu Fang, he simply pretended that his injury had not recovered, and hid in the camp every day to make fun of the wolves, just wanting to spend this winter peacefully and wait for the coming year.
On this day, Qu Han came back from his tour of the city, and went straight to the big tent to find him, and said with a heavy face: "It is reported that Your Majesty will send troops to attack Yizhou in the spring of next year, which does not seem to be too good news for us and others. ”
"He's going to conquer again?" Qin Shen let go of Xiao Bai, who was training, and turned his head to look at him in surprise.
Since everyone knew that they might go to Chang'an to take up their posts in the coming year, they gradually shifted their attention to various news in the capital, so that they were not surprised at all that Qu Han opened his mouth to political affairs, but Wang Mang's heart of conquest surprised him inexplicably.
After getting Qu Han's acquiescence again, Qin Shen thought sideways for a moment, a few meaningless smiles overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and said with emotion: "State affairs have become like this, Your Majesty's majesty has not diminished at all, but it is just ......"
He looked at him and said, "Why don't you think this is good news?" ”
Qu Han blamed him for his dissatisfaction with knowingly asking, and after finding a seat and sitting down, he sighed: "Isn't this an obvious thing?" Where is Yizhou? There are many mountains and narrow roads, and the people only need to hide in the mountains, and what can the soldiers do? I'm worried that if the expedition is unfavorable at that time, and you just happen to be called to Beijing, I can't guarantee that Your Majesty won't replace you! ”
"This ......" Qin Shen pondered for a moment, and said in disagreement: "Everyone in the world knows that I am good at cavalry combat, should Your Majesty be so stupid as to send me to such a place?" ”
Qu Han shook his head and said helplessly: "Your Majesty ...... today"
As he spoke, he sighed as if he couldn't bear to say anything or was inconvenient to speak, and said impatiently: "How can we guess out of thin air what Your Majesty thinks today? How, who knows? ”
It seems that Wang Mang's habits are really known to the world!
Qin Shen secretly sighed in his heart, smiled and said with relief: "As you said, Your Majesty's thoughts, how can we guess?" You don't have to worry about it. ”
Qu Han was slightly stunned, and then looked at him with an expression that he didn't know whether you really knew or not, and said for a moment: "You naturally understand the situation of the chaotic people today, Your Majesty moved you to Beijing at this time, what is going on, don't you know?" I'm afraid you'll end up in a state of war, and you'll end up losing your reputation. ”
Qin Shen was silent when he heard this.
Of course he understood what the other party meant, the people in the world were in turmoil, and the people, who were praised by Zhang Juzheng as the best managed, actually embarked on the road of rebelling against the court, whose fault was this?
The answer is self-evident.
And if he suppresses the rebellion for Wang Mang everywhere, for these people who are already dissatisfied with the court, it is tantamount to a dog's leg for the tiger, and in a certain respect, it may indeed be extremely detrimental to the reputation.
But is that really the case? And now he has the right to choose?
Qin Shen was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Brother Qu can't help but be worried, as a general of the country, even if I really act on orders, what can others blame me for this?" ”
Qu Han's face did not improve at all when he heard this, and he sighed faintly: "Sometimes I really think that going to Chang'an may not be a good thing. ”
"This is the biggest difference between you and Cao Jin and the others." Qin Shen smiled, and then said with a sigh of relief: "Even if I don't go to Chang'an, then at least I have to go back to Wuquan, no matter what, this cloud is definitely not a place where I can stay anymore." ”
Regarding this, Qu Han agreed with his head.
Just when the two of them were silent, someone outside the tent said: "General! Lu sent people to meet the general. ”
The two of them had a ridiculous feeling of being inadvertently chattering in their hearts at the same time, and they shrugged helplessly with a wry smile in their eyes, and Qin Shen said, "Let him come in." ”
After the salute was finished, he said respectfully: "General! Lu Envoy Jun sent a villain to ask the general if he was already in good health? If it is safe, please also ask the general to go to the Taishou Mansion and his party. ”
The two of them quickly glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes, Qin Shenxiang said casually: "Do you know what the envoy called me?" I'm also good to prepare. ”
"The villain doesn't know."
"No! You go and wait outside, I'll clean up and come at once." Qin Shen nodded and calmly ordered, waited for the other party to retreat, and then looked at Qu Han half-truthfully and said, "Won't it be an invitation like a Hongmen banquet?" ”
Qu Han glanced at him angrily: "Go!" Even if you are Liu Bang, he has no talent like Xiang Yu! ”
After saying that, he thought seriously for a moment, and said with a restrained expression: "But don't be unguarded at all, you still bring some people to go, lest there really be a case, and no one will answer at that time." ”
"Do you want another cup to smash?" Qin Shen stood up jokingly.
Qu Han got up with him, and sighed with no interest: "It's better to be cautious, I'll arrange manpower for you." ”
Half an hour later, Qin Shen and Xue Yu led the eighteen iron guards and stepped towards Cloud City.
It was the first time a group of guards had traveled with him.
Four of the eighteen had followed him when they were still in Wuquan, and they had already formed a deep master-slave relationship, and they were naturally loyal to him.
The remaining fourteen people are those who stand out from Cao Jin's strict selection among the hundreds of people in the army, which shows that they are not ordinary people, and as for the background, they have also been secretly investigated clearly before they dare to use them.
Under the picturesque deliberate dress and Cao Jin's deliberate equipment, everyone removed the slightly heavy armor and spear and halberd, and changed into a light samurai suit, with a long sword at the waist, a longbow on his back, and a horse hanging shield crossbow machine, looking energetic and imposing.
Perhaps because the heavy snow has stopped, the streets of Cloudsdale are a little more lively than they were more than ten years ago.
Qin Shen and Xue Yu rode side by side, and there were nine people in front and behind who were responsible for guarding, and when they saw such a battle, passers-by all looked sideways.
It was the first time for everyone to accept this kind of attention, and in addition to being excited, they were more nervous, even Xue Yu was no exception, after all, after being assassinated more than ten days ago, who could guarantee that the next assassination would not come immediately?
Qin Shen was also helpless about this, if it weren't for this dangerous moment, he would rather go alone, but it would be more comfortable.
But he also knew that this kind of day and night vigilance might take a long time.
With a sigh of emotion, he glanced at Xue Yu with slanted eyes, and said lightly: "You don't need to be so nervous, you just should just go on a normal trip." ”
Xue Yu scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I didn't think before, why do anyone feel that the other party seems to have bad intentions at this moment." ”
Qin Shen smiled and no longer persuaded him, because this kind of nervous emotion didn't need to be persuaded too much, as long as he experienced it a few more times, he would become accustomed to it.
On the contrary, what made him think more was that Lu Fang summoned him at this moment, what was the matter?
In the current situation, every meeting between the two reveals unpredictability.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Qin Shen couldn't think about it, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, no matter what, this kind of quiet life that seemed to be indisputable with the world was probably coming to an end again.
