King Qi leaned back in his chair and said dejectedly, "The queen mother has already seen him?" ”

The queen took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her phoenix eyes before turning her face and saying, "Why are you so confused, why do you want to poison Chu Huan just based on other people's words?" ”

King Qi was also a little annoyed, but he still said stiffly: "The queen mother has been hiding many secrets, if you tell me everything, I will not be deceived." ”

The queen said angrily: "In this case, is it my fault? ”

"That's not what Erchen meant." King Qi sighed, leaned forward, approached the queen, and said in a low voice: "The queen mother can find out from Chu Huan's mouth, what will he do with me?" ”

"What do you think he's going to do with you?"

King Qi frowned, then leaned back, and said: "He has already regarded me as a thorn in the flesh in his eye, and he didn't do it before, but it was just a hypocrisy, and now that he has found this reason, he will naturally not let me go." ”

"If you are cautious, how can he find a reason?" The queen said: "I told you a long time ago that you should stop participating in the world and stay away from these disputes with me, but you just can't listen to you." ”

King Qi said: "Since Chu Huan wants to kill me, even if he hides to the ends of the earth, he can't escape his clutches." ”

The queen listened to his tone, and until now, she didn't seem to have any intention of remorse, and her heart was even more miserable, and said: "I have interceded with him, but it seems to be useless, since you and you have not repented until now, then there is no need for me to care." When he got up and was about to leave, King Qi hurriedly got up, grabbed the queen's wrist, and said hurriedly: "Queen Mother, Chu Huan Chu Huan doesn't even give you face?" ”

The queen glanced at him and sneered: "In this way, you are at ease here, knowing that I will definitely come to intercede for you, do you think Chu Huan will also look at my face and let you go?" ”

King Qi was a little flustered at this time, "Queen Mother, should he really kill?" ”

"It's not that he's going to kill you, it's that you've poisoned him, and it's been spread out at this time." The queen sighed: "Even if he wants to spare you, will those arrogant soldiers under him give up?" Seeing that King Qi's eyes finally showed a look of fear, he shook his head.

King Qi's pupils contracted, and he suddenly grabbed the queen's hand, and said hurriedly: "Queen Mother, did he say that he wanted to kill me?" ”

"He just said that he would consult with his generals." The queen sighed: "It seems that there is less luck." ”

"He's going to kill me!" King Qi only felt weak, took two steps back, and sat on the chair with one butt, "Queen Mother, if he doesn't want to kill me, just one word, but since he wants to discuss with his generals, it is a pretense gesture, and he is already intent on taking my life at that time." ”

The queen looked at King Qi expressionlessly and said, "Do you know that you are scared now?" ”

"Queen Mother, you have to help me!" King Qi thought that Chu Huan was ready to do it to himself, even the queen seemed to be powerless, and her whole body was weak, "I don't want to die, you help me, you can't let him kill me!" ”

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place." The queen sighed, "Qianren, so far, the life and death of you, my mother and son are in the hands of Chu Huan, if he really has murderous intentions, I can't protect you." ”

King Qi felt more and more hopeless, took two steps forward, knelt on the ground, and hugged the queen's legs, "Queen Mother, you must have a way, if you don't save me, no one can save me." Chu Huan must want to kill me, he will definitely not let me go, I have no soldiers and no power in my hands now, and he has played the banner of anti-Qin, he will definitely attack me! The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and my pupils were full of fear.

When the queen saw King Qi like this, she was even more annoyed, and said sharply: "You get up!" ”

"Queen Mother, you promise me to save me, otherwise the sons will not get up!" King Qi only felt that if there was still the last glimmer of hope for survival, he could only rely on the queen to persuade Chu Huan, and there was no other way, he was like a person who was about to drown in the sea, and the queen was the last sampan.

"What do you look like now?" The queen looked sad, "Didn't you keep saying that you have the noblest blood in your body?" But what is the difference between you now and those ordinary people who are greedy for life and afraid of death? As a man, don't you even have the courage to take responsibility? Even if they really want to kill you, what are you afraid of? ”

King Qi said in a trembling voice: "Erchen Erchen is still so young, and he still has a great future, he can't die in the hands of Chu Huan, Queen Mother!" ”

"A great future?" The queen sighed: "What good future do you have when you look like this?" Looking at King Qi's timid look, he was helpless and sad.

King Qi got up, held the queen's wrist, and said: "Queen Mother, I am willing to return to the mountains and forests with you, and never ask about the world again, Queen Mother, you asked you to let Chu Huan not kill me, I and I will listen to you for everything from now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do!" ”

The queen broke away from King Qi's hand, turned around and left, King Qi said in despair: "Queen Mother, do you really leave me alone?" I'm your own son, and you're just watching me being killed? ”

The queen stopped, but did not look back, closed her eyes, and tears slipped from the corners of her eyes again.

Chu Huan and Linlang stayed warm all night, naturally tender and sweet, originally thinking of convening his generals to discuss various matters early the next morning, Linlang was waiting for him to wash, and he had already heard a voice outside: "King, report urgently!" ”

Chu Huan cleaned up and went out, but it was Qi Hong.

Qi Hong escorted the queen to Tongzhou this time, and stayed in the Zhizhou Mansion.

"You've come just in time." Chu Huan smiled and said: "This king is going to hold a meeting, you go and gather everyone, and you will be in the main hall of the Zhizhou Mansion!" ”

"My lord, I'm afraid this meeting won't happen." Qi Hong's expression was grim and he stepped forward, "General Pei has already left the city and gone to the camp of the army, and the general instructed me to report to the king that something happened in the army." ”

"What?" Chu Huan frowned, and ordered: "Prepare the horse and rush to the camp immediately!" ”

Linlang had already come out at this time and said, "It's ready early, don't you want to eat some?" ”

Chu Huan turned around and said, "Something happened in the army, I want to go over and take a look!" Without further ado, he hurried out the door.

When he arrived at the camp, there were soldiers who had already entered the camp to report, Pei Ji led Gu Liangchen and Wolf Wazi and others out, Chu Huan saw that several people looked very solemn, knowing that something big would happen regularly, he turned over and dismounted, and walked forward, after a few people saluted, Chu Huan had already asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The king will come with the end." Gu Liangchen's face was solemn, pressing the hilt of the knife with one hand, and clenching his fist with the other, leading Chu Huan to the depths of the camp, only to see that a group of people had been surrounded by a clearing in the middle, Gu Liangchen said in a deep voice: "What are you doing here?" Disperse. ”

Everyone dispersed, and when they saw Chu Huan, they all saluted.

Chu Huan walked over to take a look, but saw a row of white cloths on the ground, and after a glance, he knew that there were corpses covered under the white cloth, and from beginning to end, there were more than twenty corpses.

Chu Huan's face sank, stepped forward, squatted down, raised his hand to lift the corner of a white cloth, glanced at it, his face changed suddenly, and he raised his head and asked, "What about the head?" ”

Pei Ji said on the side: "There are a total of twenty-three corpses, all of them are sent out by the rangers, and the corpse capital has been recaptured, but only three heads have been snatched back!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Chu Huan had a cold face.

Gu Liangchen stepped forward and arched his hand: "Back to the king, the barbarian cavalry is burning and looting along the border, in order to prevent them from continuing to kill the people, we have sent hundreds of rangers, divided into several roads, to guard against the barbarian cavalry from plundering." These twenty-three people are one of the teams, they encountered the barbarian cavalry, the other side has more than 200 people, after the encounter, the barbarian cavalry will chase and kill our brothers, in desperation, the two sides meet each other! ”

Chu Huan's face was even more cold, and Gu Liangchen continued: "They released the signal of the arrow, but by the time the reinforcements near us arrived, they had all been killed, and the barbarians cut off their heads, and our reinforcements gathered together and followed the trail of the barbarians, and their brigade of men and horses had already withdrawn, only more than ten horsemen were still cruising, and they were caught up by our men and horses!" ”

Chu Huan glanced around, only to see that all the soldiers were full of anger, gritting their teeth, and one of them had already said loudly: "King Chu, let's kill those brutes, kill them and leave no armor." ”

As soon as this man said this, everyone asked for battle.

Pei Ji frowned and said, "Don't make any noise, go back to your own team." ”

The soldiers were very in awe of Pei Ji, so they naturally didn't dare to disobey, and with full of anger, they retreated.

Chu Huan stared at the more than twenty corpses covered by the white cloth, clenched his fists, and finally asked, "Can you catch it alive?" ”

"Scratched two tongues." Gu Liangchen said: "I'm waiting for the king to come over for interrogation." ”

"Okay." Chu Huan went to the big tent in the army and ordered: "Bury the bodies of the brothers properly, show mercy to the family, and bring those two barbarian tongues up." He asked, "Yes, is there anyone in the army who knows how to speak barbarian language?" ”

Pei Ji has already said: "The king doesn't have to worry, I will talk nonsense." ”

Chu Huan nodded and entered the big tent, and soon Gu Liangchen asked people to bring two barbarian captives into the big tent, these two barbarian captives were dressed in leather armor and had bare heads, but they both had a sky-high braid on the top of their heads, and a strange necklace around their necks, which were made of animal bones, and the workmanship was quite rough, and they were not worth a few dollars at first glance.

Entering the big tent, the two barbarians chattered, and Chu Huan couldn't hear what they were saying, but looking at the fierce faces of these two people, it was not a good thing to say.

Chu Huan looked at Pei Ji, Pei Ji smiled faintly: "They let us let them go, and said that they have tens of thousands of troops, all of them can fight well, if we know each other, surrender immediately, if we want to live, we should respectfully send them out of the camp." ”

Chu Huan laughed angrily: "It seems that the barbarian not only has developed limbs, but he also has a lot of ability to brag. ”

He laughed loudly and was full of energy, and immediately suppressed the sound of the two barbarians chattering, the two barbarians were stunned, looked at Chu Huan, and saw that Chu Huan was just a young man in his twenties, with good facial features, slightly dark skin, and not very heroic, the two glanced at each other, and one of them whispered a few words at Chu Huan.
