Chapter 179: Trading
Qingji, who had been away for more than half a month, returned to Diqiu again. In just half a month, under the autumn wind, the emperor's face has changed greatly, just like the situation in the imperial court of the country, the entire emperor's hill has a smashing atmosphere. Qingji's carriage walked alone on the street with few pedestrians, and the wind rolled up pieces of fallen leaves, whirling against the ground, and being crushed into mud by the wheels.
Qingji tightened the curtains, and the cold wind was blocked out of the car. He frowned and thought, what was the purpose of Mrs. Wei Nanzi secretly inviting him to meet him at Emperor Qiu? When he was about to set off for Chu, Nanzi's messenger arrived, bringing a sentence from Nanzi, the wife of Wei Guojun: "Nanzi is eager to see his son, the concubine is in the deep palace, and it is inconvenient to travel, and he also prays that the prince will go to the emperor's hill, cut it!" ”
Such words sound like a deep resentful woman dating a lover, but of course Qingji will not be narcissistic to think that it is an accidental fate, and the proud lady of Wei Guojun is deeply rooted in his affection, and even does not think about tea and dinner, and finally sends someone to ask him for a date to comfort the pain of lovesickness.
The analysis of the current political situation of Weiguo led him to conclude that Nanzi had no reason to be unfavorable to him, at least there was no reason to be unfavorable to him in the current situation, and Weihou Jiyuan also had no reason, and the various forces of Weiguo now had a complex attitude towards him that was both respectful and fearful, both wanting to win over and somewhat disgusted, but no one would try to disadvantage him. No powerful person has suddenly offended a third party that has nothing to do with them at a time when their political opponents are looking at them. Therefore, the trip to Diqiu would not be a trap, and so, he came.
However, he didn't get any more information from the messenger, leaving him unable to figure out Nanzi's true intentions in meeting him, which kept him curious along the way. No matter what reason, no matter what kind of cooperative relationship he wants to reach with him, there is no need for Nanzi to bypass Gongzi Chao and Qi Bao and others, but to meet him privately, an outsider who has no friendship. However, her messenger even repeatedly instructed Qingji's whereabouts to be kept secret and not let anyone know, including Gongzi Chao and Qi Leopard. That is to say, this meeting, even the main generals of the Nanzi forces, Gongzi Chao, Qi Bao and others were completely unknown.
"What the hell is this woman going to do?" Qingji rubbed his chin and thought curiously.
After he carefully calculated the distance and time, even if General Mu, the messenger of the Duke of Concealment, returned to the state of Chu in the starry night without stopping, it would take some time for the messenger of the prince to return to the state of Chu in the starry night, and it would take some time for the envoy to act according to his plan, and before they deliberately released water to lure the enemy into depth, forcing the Chu people to make head-on contact with the Wu army, he was not in a hurry to rush to the state of Chu, so this trip to the emperor hill did not delay much time. No matter what Nanzi was going to do, he planned to rush to Chu directly after meeting Nanzi.
"What is this place?" The carriage drove into a courtyard, and four of his guards jumped out of the carriage and patrolled the surroundings with their swords. Qingji lifted the curtain and saw that the courtyard was not big, full of yellow leaves, and only one black-robed old woman was holding a broom and sweeping weakly in the autumn wind.
The old lady was too old, full of gray hair, and deep wrinkles, and when the car drove into the courtyard, she opened her faint old eyes and looked, and at this moment everyone got out of the car, she had no interest in even looking at it. At her age, there was nothing left to arouse her curiosity and interest.
The messenger rushed to the Qingji car and said respectfully: "Childe, please get out of the car, here...... It's a doctor's backyard, it's very quiet, and Childe will be safe here. ”
Qingji's heart moved: "A doctor's backyard? Neither Gongzi Chao, nor Qi Bao, Beigong Xi and others, this woman is not simple, it turns out that she still has latent forces in the country. ”
He got out of the car, glanced at the temple man with a smile, and said, "Well, I've already arrived here, and then what?" ”
The messenger was accustomed to snorting his waist again, and said with a smile: "Childe, please stay relaxed, the villain will go to report to Mrs. Jun, and Mrs. Jun will find an opportunity to meet Childe." ”
Qingji had already seen that he was a temple man, and his accent was slightly different from that of Wei Ren. Qingji estimated that he should be a cronie brought from the Song State when Nanzi married Wei Guo, and Nanzi concealed Gongzi Chao, Qi Bao and others, and sent his cronies to secretly meet him, which made Qingji more and more curious.
"Oh? Mrs. Jun can get out of the palace? ”
The man hesitated for a moment before he said, "Son, please put it down, Mrs. Jun's bedroom is full of extremely reliable people." The monarch never stays in the palace of Mrs. Jun, and it is not impossible for Mrs. Jun to leave the palace. ”
After he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Please." ”
"If you come, you will be safe, then wait for the beauty to come to the door......", Qingji took a deep breath and walked towards the quiet courtyard house.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Under the light, Qingji looked curiously at Nanzi, who had scolded him in the Weiguo Palace. At that time, although she was angry, her spirit was flying, and she was like a rose dewdropped, charming, and domineering like the thorns of the flower branches.
And now, she was dressed in black, wearing black, maybe for the convenience of night walking, but at the moment her face was pale, pale and bloodless. Her eyes were also lifeless, those eyes were deep and dark, like two cold pools with ice ballast, and it was chilling to look at.
"What happened to her?" Qingji was curious, but he pondered for a while, but didn't ask, just pondered: "Madam Jun, you secretly summoned someone, and I don't know what important things to discuss. ”
Nanzi's delicate hands were tightly twisted together, Qingji's gaze fell on her hand, her skin was white, shining moist in the light, Qingji was very worried that if her strength was a little bigger, the white slender ten fingers would be twisted by her.
"I ...... I want you to help me kill someone! ”
There was a little trembling when she first said this, but after saying this, her voice had calmed down, her hands were firmly twisted on her knees, and her waist was slightly straightened.
Qingji noticed that on her beautiful face, after saying that she had killed, a blood-colored red suddenly surged out of the paleness, coupled with those cold eyes, bewitching and charming, a little evil, quite able to provoke people's primitive impulses.
"Murder?" Qingji frowned.
"Yes, kill! If you want to kill someone, I think of me, Nanzi really can't think of someone more suitable for killing people than you. ”
Qingji touched his nose and said with a dry smile: "Qingji seems to be ...... Not an Assassin ......"
Nanzi's shining eyes stared at him: "Ao Shiqi is one of the three masters under the throne of Gong Meng, and he is known for his excellent swordsmanship, I heard that ...... You killed him with just one move. The person I'm going to kill is very good at swordsmanship, maybe ...... Similar to Ao Shiqi, the entry and exit precautions are also extremely strict, and it is not easy to kill him, but if the person who did it is you, I think it should not be a difficult thing, so I come to beg you. ”
Qingji smiled bitterly: "If there is anyone else in the Emperor Qiu that your lady can't kill and needs to fake others, I think...... This man must be a big nuisance, right? ”
Nanzi's face suddenly showed a coquettish smile, and he said softly: "What does it matter, no one will know that it is you anyway." ”
Qingji licked his lips and asked, "Can I know...... Who is that person? ”
"I want you to promise me first."
Qingji frowned: "Mrs. Jun, you make such a request...... It seems too unreasonable. ”
"It's unreasonable, but I'll pay a price proportionate."
"At what cost?"
Nanzi slowly straightened her waist, her chest straightened up, and under the background of her black hair, her white and red, bright jade cheeks showed a look of confidence and pride: "Whatever you want, as long as I can get it, I will give it to you, even if it is ...... Want me. ”
Qingji looked at her in surprise: what happened, for whom, this arrogant woman who didn't take herself seriously at all, now begged him to kill at the cost of her own commitment, she ...... Who are you going to kill?
"So, will you agree?" Nanzi smiled sweetly, showing the charming taste of women, her face bloomed with a sweet smile like a flower, her chest was straightened again, the delicate body kneeling on the seat was exquisitely convex, the curve was ups and downs, although it was not bright enough in black, but there was a mysterious temptation on the body of Zhou, just like a quietly blooming rue flower under the night light.
Qingji's gaze moved from her long black hair to her distant mountain-like moth eyebrows, and then to her star-like beautiful eyes, plump and bright red lips, until the neckline of her shirt showed an astonishing, seductive whiteness, and muttered, "Indeed...... That's a big price to pay......"
A beautiful woman like her, if she deliberately seduces a man, I am afraid that the old monk who has practiced for a hundred years may not be able to hold it, not to mention, her noble identity and Ling Ran's temperament that cannot be insulted make men have a kind of conquest.
At this moment, the charming face, the ten thousand styles at the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, the shrugging chest and thin waist, the snow-like skin, and the sweet voice of the magnetic surname, all of this is intertwined with an irresistible powerful magic in the dark room of the lonely man and widow, and Qingji's eyes began to be a little blurred.
Nanzi saw his reaction completely, her smile became sweeter, the slender and graceful fingers moved gently like an orchid blooming, moved to her blown cheeks, pressed against the soft and smooth skin down, gently put it on the chest that was tall and full, curvy, the corners of her mouth were full of spring, and she said infinitely coquettishly: "Qingji, as long as you kill him, all this will be yours, my body, my everything......"
Qingji greedily stared at her again in front of him for the first time like a peacock opening the screen, and then smiled, he shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I refuse!" The love between men and women should be a matter of mutual affection, but if it becomes a deal, it will be very boring, and Qingji likes women, but he is not hungry and thirsty to that extent. I'm sorry, Mrs. Jun, if you want to kill Wei Hou, the only thing Qingji can do is to stay out of it, you ...... But when I never came, Qingji swore to heaven that I would not reveal your secrets, and please don't think that it is against me. ”
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, clenched the hilt of his sword, and retreated alertly towards the door.
"How did you come up with the idea of a monarch? He is not the one I want you to kill. ”
Qingji stopped in a daze, but still didn't dare to relax his vigilance: "In addition to Wei Hou, who else can't be killed by you, Gongzi Chao, Qi Bao and others?" Who else needs Mrs. Jun to sell herself to lure me into making a move. ”
"There's another man." Nanzi's clear eyes looked at him, bent his waist softly, and said indifferently: "That person is ...... Gong, son, court! ”
Qingji was stunned for a moment, he was on guard to prevent the deal from collapsing Nanzi would secretly kill him, but as soon as he heard Nanzi say who he wanted to kill, he was really stunned, this moment of distraction, if there was a hidden assassin suddenly shot at this time, it would be a godsend.
"You...... Are you going to kill Gongzi Chao? Qingji almost thought that he had heard it wrong, the relationship between Gongzi Chao and Nanzi, he knew it clearly, how could these two people ......
Nanzi smiled at him sadly, her eyes showed a sad and sad look, she slowly closed her eyes, and under her long and neat eyelashes, tears poured down like spring water......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In the palace forest, Nanzi and Gongzi Chao stood between two towering trees, arguing fiercely.
"Zichao, can you calm down? We have lost the opportunity, and now we can only wait for the opportunity, you let me cheat and be insulted by Gongsun, and then you will kill him, which is clearly clearing the wings of the monarch. Yes, with this excuse, he really can't do anything to you, but only for this time, and later? You want power, not a complete break with the king, and in the event of a head-on conflict, with your current strength, you will not have the slightest advantage. Zichao, why did you fail in the Song Kingdom? Isn't it because you're in a hurry for quick success that you can't change this problem? ”
Childe sneered: "What do you know, forbearance? Endure until Ji Yuan takes all the power back into his palm? At that time, we couldn't resist if we wanted to. Nanzi, I am now unstable in food and sleep, I don't know when, I will die in a daze like Gong Mengxi, this kind of saying is really like a year. Yes, Ji Yuan owns the entire defense country, but his people are in this palace city, as long as I master all the palace guard power, Ji Yuan can be equal to my hands, let him control the world, I still control him, I was afraid of what tricks he played at that time. ”
Nanzi sneered: "I'm afraid it's not just for self-preservation, you want to control the monarch in your hands, and you also want to hold more power, right?" ”
Childe said angrily, "What's wrong with that? ”
At this moment, I only heard Wei Hou Jiyuan shouting: "Zichao!" ”
Gongzi Chao was startled, and hurriedly followed the prestige, only to see Weihou Jiyuan flash out of the forest in front of him, stretch his bow and take arrows, and shouted: "Look at the arrows!" "As soon as the bowstring was loosened, a sharp arrow slashed at the surface.
Gongzi Chao was so frightened that he didn't know if his tryst with Nanzi had provoked his jealousy, or if he heard his conversation with Nanzi, and he didn't have time to think about it at this time. On both sides are the towering ancient trees that hug the thick, there is no way to dodge, the arrow comes from the string, between the lightning and flint, Gongzi Chao has no time to think about it, and instinctively pulls Nanzi beside him, blocking her in front of him.
A sword hit the chest, a pain in the chest, Nanzi closed her eyes in despair and waited for death, in an instant, a huge pain filled her body and mind, the pain did not come from the body, but from the depths of her soul, she never thought that at the moment of crisis, Gongzi Chao, who kept saying that he loved her more than his own life, would not hesitate to make her a shield.
At this moment, what Qingji had said to her flowed through her mind very clearly: "When someone threatens my survival and interests, I will not sit idly by. If someone shoots an arrow now, I can't dodge it, and standing next to me are my relatives and friends whom I love and respect, and I would rather take this arrow than let others block it, but if it is an outsider who has nothing to do with me, I don't mind pulling him over as a shield, and if this person has no good intentions towards me, I will not hesitate. If there are innocent and weak people around me, I may be moved by compassion, but that is also for my own conscience, and I don't have to worry about the righteousness of the world......"
A sad smile appeared at the corner of Nanzi's mouth, and she cried out in her heart: "It turns out that in his heart, I am just an irrelevant outsider, and all he pursues is power!" He loves only himself......"
Gongzi Chao was also stunned, when Ji Yuan shot Nanzi with an arrow, he wanted to push away Nanzi's corpse and rush up to kill Ji Yuan to survive, but as soon as he saw Gongsun Wu and several guards standing by the sword suddenly appeared behind Ji Yuan, he knew that the general trend had gone, and his legs were struggling, so he wanted to pull out his feet and escape, at this moment, he saw that the arrow on Nanzi's chest actually fell to the ground with a "click", and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Ji Yuan was reminded by Gongsun Wu that he couldn't really kill Gongzi Dynasty today, otherwise Qi Bao and the others, who had ghosts in their hearts, would immediately jump over the wall and support the army to rebel, so they used headless arrows and acted like this, just to tease him. Unexpectedly, this arrow was shot, and Gongzi Chao actually caught Nanzi as a shield, and Ji Yuan was already ecstatic after being stunned: this pair of dog men and women, since the harem and the foreign ministers, it is difficult to collude with him to be his enemy.
Ji Yuan laughed, put down his bow, and pretended to say calmly: "Zichao, walking in the widow's forest, seeing you here, I just joked with you, why do you dare to take Mrs. against the arrow?" ”
Gongzi "banged" at his head, didn't have time to think about anything, his knees weakened, he knelt down, and said: "Monarch, Weichen...... We-Chen......"
He saw Ji Yuan coming over, bent down to look at him, Ji Yuan's face was smiling, and his eyes showed a look of ridicule or smugness, Ji Yuan's mouth was closed one by one, as if he was talking, but his ear drums were buzzing, and although he tried to listen, he couldn't hear anything. His body trembled, he offended Wei Hou, and now he has offended Nanzi, the world is so big, where else can he escape?
Nanzi stood to the side, without any expression on her face, she took a slight step back and leaned against the trunk of the tree, which supported her and did not let her body fall. Mourning is greater than heart death, at this moment, she doesn't feel anything in her heart.
Two days passed, and Nanzi, who had been locked up in the dormitory, gradually regained consciousness, and she began to take the initiative to find a reason for Gongzichao: in a hurry, out of instinct; It's not that he doesn't love me, it's just that he loves himself more, but I am still the most important person in his heart besides himself; He will come to see me, as long as he sincerely apologizes to me, as long as he is willing to bow his head and admit his mistakes to me...... I ...... I forgave him......
However, she didn't wait for Gongzi Chao, who was guilty of Jing Invitation, she thought about Gongzi Chao, and Gongzi Chao treated others with herself, but how could she dare to believe that Nanzi, who had always been arrogant and unruly, would deceive herself for him? How can you believe that Nanzi, who was once made a meat shield by him, is willing to let him go? Qi Bao, Beigong Xi, and Chu Shipu are all stronger than him, and he has only been here to defend the country for a few days? His foundation was built on sand, and only with the support of Nanzi, the lord of the harem, he had a place in the court of patriotism. If Nanzi has a bad relationship with him, Weihou Ji Yuan wants to kill him like an ant, and the three of Qi Leopard, Beigong Xi, and Chu Shipu, who have been instructed by Nanzi, will only take his power and will never avenge him.
Nanzi's silence, thinking in his heart, was that he didn't know what kind of vicious plan he was thinking about to harm him, and the panicked Gongzi Chao became more and more afraid of the desperate Gongzi Chao, and in desperation, he chose what he thought was the most correct path: to ask Weihou Ji Yuan for guilt and surrender.
He put on his left hat and entered the palace to ask the Marquis of Wei Ji Yuan to ask for his guilt. Although Mrs. Jun's sense of touch Nanzi could not reach outside the palace, she was in charge of the entire palace and the appointment of salaries and even palace personnel, and with her power and wisdom, she had already bought a lot of palace maids and temple people for her use, including some envoys around Weihou Ji Yuan, and Gongzichao's actions were immediately reported to her.
Nanzi's heart was cold when she heard it, she betrayed her when she was in danger, and didn't believe her when she was in distress, is this person still the Zichao she knows? When the people of the temple said that Weihou Ji Yuan was drinking proudly at that time, and the prince was guilty of pleading guilty, Weihou Ji Yuan was endeavoured and recruited him to his command, and saw that his long hair was scattered and his eyebrows were clear, and he actually took him into the dormitory tent, and it took half a day to go out hand in hand, Nanzi couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and his face was full of tears:
This is the man she likes, the ambitious hero who has always called himself a man's husband, in order to survive, he actually followed the example of a female, contributed his body to others, and became Ji Yuan's concubine. Ridiculous, disgusting! Wei Hou is indeed a good man, but he brought Gongzi Chao into the tent at this moment, will it be good for him? Maybe it's a kind of psychology that treats him as a woman, or maybe it's a kind of insult and revenge in his unique way, from now on, what has the Gongzi Dynasty become?
From this moment on, Nanzi only wanted to do one thing: kill Gongzi Chao!
At this time, she wanted to kill Gongzi Chao at all costs, and it was no longer how deep her hatred was for him. What she wants to kill is no longer Gongzi Chao, but her own past that exists because of the existence of Gongzi Chao, because of her strong hatred and contempt for him, she is disgusted with the self who experienced the past with him. Only by killing him can she not live in such humiliation.
"Yes, Gongzi Dynasty, it's just an inconsequential and inferior Childe Dynasty, now are you willing to agree? Qing Ji Gongzi. ”
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Jun, the war is coming, Qingji doesn't want to make extraneous branches, I ......"
He suddenly closed his voice, his eyes were so wide, Nanzi looked at him with a smile, gently pulled the belt, and the belt fell to the ground, and then she gently untied her shirt with a pair of soft wattles, her shoulders trembled slightly, and a black robe gently slid down, and she didn't wear anything inside, the beauty of the dazzling eyes was shining with a water-like soft luster under the light, and the delicate body moved slightly, and the halo flowed like water, and it was like playing with a beautiful jade under the lamp.
She wasn't naked, and she was wearing a pair of delicate deerskin boots on her feet, and because of this, the temptation was even stronger, and the ice muscle and snow strands, the secret place that he didn't dare to look at, exuded a powerful magic that could suffocate people. The perfect bamboo shoot shape ** is tender and tender, a pair of slender and straight, beautiful legs that are longer than half of the body are beautifully curved, the waist is tight, the curves are exquisite, and the skin is smooth and oily. She leaned slightly sideways, her round pink buttocks raised high like a full moon, and her white as snow......
"For you, it's just a gesture and you'll be able to get me, Childe, do you really want to refuse?"
Qingji's eyes widened, and after looking at it for a long time, he slowly walked towards her. Nanzi couldn't help but show a smug smile, the corners of her beautiful lips were slightly raised, the charming eyes slowly closed, with endless courage, she restrained the trembling of her body, quietly raised her beautiful and round chin, her neck was raised gracefully like a swan, and her beaded lips were lightly opened, making a gesture of silent invitation......
She felt Qingji walk in front of her, she felt that Qingji was already standing beside her, she didn't know where Qingji was staring at her, so that all the shame had a hot feeling, she didn't know, although she tried her best to restrain herself, her snow-like skin still showed a pink color, her slender and round thighs couldn't help but tremble, and then ......
Then she felt that there was suddenly something more on her shoulder, it was a piece of clothing, she opened her eyes in amazement, and saw Qingji standing beside her, his figure was tall, and his body was not too far off, but because he was smooth and naked, he looked like a child.
"Come, reach out ......"
Nanzi stretched out his hand stupidly, and put a big sleeve inside.
"This one."
Nanzi stretched out another hand, and the other big sleeve was also put in.
Then her clothes were closed, covering her slender body, soft jade arms like snow lotus, graceful and round slender**, thin and smooth calves, and a pair of bamboo shoots that were youthful and attractive, mature and fragrant. Qingji's hand went around her slender concave waist and then back again, tying a ribbon in front of her abdomen. The hand touched her flat, soft, and without a trace of fat on her lower abdomen, and in the looming clothes, the charming fragrant navel with a sense of surname disappeared in a flash.
"It's late autumn, maybe in a few days, the first snow is coming, it's so cold, and there is no fire in the house, be careful of catching a cold......"
Nanzi suddenly reacted, and was immediately full of shame and indignation, what is this? He thinks of himself as a child who has not grown up? I...... I exposed my never-before-seen body to him, and he ...... He was so casual that he was still teaching himself like a nagging old woman.
Nanzi was trembling with anger, and he didn't know how much perseverance Qingji used to restrain her temptation, and his nagging whispers were not actually meant for her, but only to distract himself and eliminate some strange reactions.
Because of Qingji, Gongzi Chao mastered the power he dreamed of. Because of power, he was consumed by his lust for profit, and finally degenerated into the despicable and shameless appearance he is today. Nanzi hated them very much, and wanted to tempt Qingji and drive him to kill Gongzi Chao, and then expose his identity as a murderer and kill this capricious villain together, even then he would be ruined and ruined.
She did not hesitate to sacrifice herself, and shyly endured to seduce him, just with the idea of killing everyone together, but now it is a result that she did not expect at all, Rao is that she has always been too calculating, and she has been stupid at this time. A woman who never strips in front of a man, once she becomes naked, what scheming does she have.
After a long time, when she was dressed, she regained her senses, and angrily pushed away Qingji, and a raging fire ignited in her beautiful eyes: "You refuse, don't you?" ”
"I don't refuse temptation, but in the hearts of men, women are never the first, some people pursue power, some people pursue fame, Qingji is not a moral gentleman, but I have my pride, I am a man, I will not succumb to a woman because of beauty, and be a tool for her to use."
Qingji said quietly, and when he said that I was a man, he raised his eyebrows, revealing a sense of confidence and arrogance. Nanzi felt miserable in his heart, and suddenly remembered the disgusting appearance of Zi Chaohen, who was as confident and arrogant as him, and who also called himself a man, and was lying tactfully under Ji Yuan.
She said calmly: "I used to despise you, and I used to hate you, but for some reason, the humiliation of being rejected by you like this, these feelings have disappeared. It's me, my mind burned with hatred, you go, go now, I'll treat you as if you never came. ”
She slowly raised her head, looked at the thick beams on the roof, and gently stroked the acacia knot on the ribbon around her waist with her fingers, which Qingji had just tied for her, and she was not very skilled, and the acacia knot was a little out of shape.
"You want to kill yourself?"
Qing Ji suddenly saw through her mind from the look on her face. Nanzi suddenly raised his eyebrows, and looked at Qingji fiercely: "What do you have to do with it?" ”
Qingji smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Why is it irrelevant?" You secretly went out of the palace to see me once, and then you committed suicide by hanging yourself, knowing that you were tempted by yourself, and committed suicide in shame and shame when you were rejected. I don't know, I thought that my son stole incense and jade, and you committed suicide. ”
"I'm going to kill you!" Nanzi exploded her lungs in anger, and the thoughts of suicide were swept away, and she couldn't wait to pounce on her and bite off a piece of meat from the shoulder of this hateful Qingji: "Get out!" Get out of here, and don't let the widow see you again! ”
"In front of men, women should call themselves concubines, so that they are cute. Even if you are as beautiful as a fairy, if you put on a strong face all day long, no man likes it. Qingji didn't leave, sat down on the table with a smile, and added complacently: "Actually...... I respect women very much, but women should look like women. ”
Nanzi glared at him fiercely: "What else do you want?" If you don't leave, be careful I changed my mind, you only have four people, in this Emperor Hill City, it will be easy for me to kill you. ”
Qingji's face turned straight and said, "I don't ask you why you turned against your face and wanted to kill Zichao, that's your private matter." But...... When you see me in private, neither through the court, nor through Qi Bao, Gongzi Chao and others, it seems that your situation is very bad. ”
Nanzi sneered, "So what? Even if Nanzi becomes a loner, what does it have to do with your Qingji? ”
"You're not alone." Qingji smiled: "You are the princess of Song Kingdom, Mrs. Weiguo, in fact, you have a lot of power to use, but you didn't expect it at all." Paying the price of one's own body is the stupidest way to go. ”
Nanzi's face was already blushing, when a woman exposed her body in front of a man, if the man pounced on him and "bullied" him, then the winner was this woman, but if people didn't take her in their eyes, then, no matter how ridiculous the other party was, she didn't have the words to refute it.
Qing Ji saw that this beauty even had a red neck, and was about to transform into a velociraptor anymore, so he immediately changed his tone and turned to the topic: "I have a suggestion that allows you to do what you want to do with your own strength, do you want to know?" ”
Nanzi immediately calmed down and stared at Qingji coldly for a long time before she said, "Are you so kind to help me?" What are you going to get out of it? ”
Qingji smiled, patted the seat next to him and said, "Come on, come on, sit down and say, in fact, I don't want much." I have always been a just man, and whatever I do, I must be profitable for both parties. Because only then can the cooperation between the two sides last, don't you say? ”
Nanzi looked at him strangely, she couldn't figure out whether this guy in front of her was the noble prince of Wu Guo, who had received a good education since childhood, Wei Guo is a businessman, she has seen many businessmen who have the same expression as Qingji, and now he looks like a very cunning businessman at all.
She suddenly felt a little chilled, she had just wanted to negotiate a deal with the bastard in front of her at the cost of her own body, but now she ...... She had a feeling that she was about to be sold by him. But...... She still walked over involuntarily. When Childe Chao was cornered, he chose a path that he himself once despised infinitely. She is now, why not?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Qianshan of Chu State, a military camp.
There were few camp tents, few soldiers, and those soldiers patrolling in the autumn wind with halberds, and most of them looked listless with their heads down. A few of them were limping and patrolling with injuries, looking like they had lost the battle.
Behind the camp is the Mangcong Mountain, which is the famous Dabie Mountain in later generations. It was by taking advantage of the geographical advantage here that the remaining remnants of the soldiers and horses were lucky enough to escape the pursuit of Bo Yao and temporarily gain a foothold here.
"Xi Yu ......" a few long hisses, and in the night, a chariot rumbled along the rugged mountain road, startling countless resident birds in the forest. The carriage was on the right and left with torches held high, and the man in the middle held the railing with both hands and a sword under his side, and his face could not be seen clearly in the night. When the chariot came to a halt in front of the tent, the soldiers of the patrol came forward to question him, and then he gave way of the road, and the chariot drove straight into front of the great tent where the lights were brightest, and the man in the middle of the chariot jumped to the ground, and behind him was a man who hunted like a vulture.
"Fourth brother!" The man shouted loudly, strode over, raised his hand to lift the door curtain, and walked into the tent: "Fourth brother, call me over urgently, what's the matter?" ”
In the middle of the tent, a dirty blanket was spread on the ground, and on top sat a man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, not very tall, but very sturdy, with his armor removed, and a son's robe inside, his hair tied with a cloth scarf, and his eyes slightly closed, and he did not move. Looking at his appearance, he has sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a nose like a hanging gall, and three strands of hair under his chin, and he has a kind of temperament that is not angry but mighty.
And the one who just came in was younger than him, only about twenty-one or twelve years old, he had just begun to grow a beard under his chin, and his appearance was seven or eight points similar to that man, wearing a suit of armor, and the broken armor was covered with sword marks, and he didn't know how many times he had gone through life-and-death battles, so that his burly and sturdy body faintly revealed a murderous aura.
"Sit!" The man sitting cross-legged did not raise his head or eyes, but only said a word lightly.
The man who had just walked into the tent looked at him in surprise, and sat down across from him.
The man sitting cross-legged was silent for a long time, and when the young man on the opposite side couldn't bear it anymore and was about to ask another question, he opened his eyes, sighed long, and said gloomily: "Candle Yong, tonight, I have thought about it for a long time, from the news that Ji Guang killed the royal brother and usurped the throne to Wu Chu's army, when the three armies were in turmoil, I kept thinking of this time and now, alas, ......, we were wrong. ”
It turned out that this person was the prince of Wu, and the young man sitting opposite was his brother Zhu Yong. After listening to the words of the cover-up, Candle Yongqi said: "Fourth brother, you are wrong, what is wrong?" ”
Cover Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "When the news of Ji Guang's usurpation came, the army's heart was in turmoil, and you and I both knew that the general trend had gone, so we immediately made a decision, led the troops out of the encirclement, and fled into the nearby mountains. At that time, you and I sent people to contact Qingji, wanting to join forces, and in turn took advantage of the insoluble grievances between Chu and my Wu State, and used Chu's [***] power to fight against Ji Guang. And Qingji was not optimistic about the king of Chu, and decided to defect to the defense of the country to recruit troops and horses, and then try to make a big plan. Now it seems that his choice was right, and you and I were wrong. ”
Hearing this, Candle Yong was silent, and only after a while did he say: "Yes, the king of Chu is narrow and centralized, and he is the minister of Chu, but whoever is strong enough to shake the royal power is also killed by him by finding some excuses to make the eagle dog kill them one by one." The Bo family, the Wu family, and many loyal ministers are like this, let alone us outsiders? He can only use us, how can he really help us. This...... We also expected that yesterday's enemies would turn around and become brothers today? Of course it can't be, it's just ...... I didn't expect the king of Chu to be so ruthless, only providing grain and grass, not sending a single soldier, driving you and me as the main force, and then making some small uncles who were vassals of Chu help Ji Guang to be the enemy, and now ...... Now you and I have less than 3,000 people, trapped in this Dabie Mountain......"
He looked up at the small tent window and said worriedly, "Even if Bo Yao doesn't send soldiers to chase after us, if we are trapped here, I'm afraid this winter will not be easy." ”
Cover Yu smiled sadly: "You and I have tens of thousands of troops, and now there are less than 3,000 wounded soldiers and remnants left, do you want to bury them all here?" What's the point of all of us dying here? ”
Cover Yu sighed, the mountain wind outside the tent whimpered, and it sounded like a hero was short of breath.
Candle Yong raised his eyebrows, then sighed, patted his thigh, and said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, then what are your plans to come to me today?" ”
"Qingji has a letter."
"Oh?"
Cover Yu reached into his arms, took out a ball of plain silk, and handed it to Candle Yong, Candle Yong unfolded the plain silk, turned sideways and looked at it carefully in the light, only after reading a paragraph, he lost his voice and said: "Qingji knows that you and I have been defeated, and invite us to defend the country?" ”
"Yes!" Cover your chin and say: "In my letter to Qingji, I have already explained the situation of you and me. ”
"Fourth brother, once you serve Qingji, then you ......"
Cover Yu smiled faintly: "Now it is a question whether the surname can be saved, what are you talking about fighting for the throne?" There is no hope for the throne, so I will retreat to the next best, just hope to be able to kill back to the state of Wu, cut off Ji Guang's dog's head, and sacrifice my souls of all ages and ......, and the rest of my wish is enough. ”
Candle Yong stared at him for a long time, silently lowered his head to continue looking, suddenly, his body shook, and he lost his voice again: "He wants me to wait for the defense of Ai City and Lu State Philadelphia, and raise troops to attack Wu again in March next year?" Philadelphia in the country of Lu, where he still has an ambush army? ”
A smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "Yes, Qingji, this kid really impresses me." He is your nephew and mine, but in terms of age, we are not much older than him, we grew up together, and when we grow up to be honest, his reputation is visible among the princes and countries, and you and I are nameless compared to him, not only you, but I am also very unconvinced in my heart. Now it seems that he is indeed better than you and me. ”
Cover Yu said admiringly: "Born with divine power, bravely champion the three armies, that's fine." Personal martial arts and kung fu, the rivers and lakes are heroes, but everyone admires the role, but in the army of ten thousand horses, how can there be any real ten thousand enemies, no matter how good the personal force is, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. However, at a young age, he was so resourceful and resourceful, not only was he able to gain a foothold in defending the country, but after a defeat in Wu, he has now gathered tens of thousands of troops in a short period of time, and ...... was able to secretly establish an army in the country of Lu without knowing it, and cover up Yu for him, and now he is really convinced. ”
"Fourth Brother ......"
"Huh?"
"You've changed a lot."
He was silent for a moment and smiled: "Everyone is like an angular stone in the river, and it will become mellow when it is sharpened more." I also have my own ambitions, but after so many failures, I realized that I have no ambition, but not that kind of ambition. Courage, scheming, vision, strategy, these aspects, Qingji is better than me in everything, my uncle, lost convinced, since fate is destined to become the king of a country, then I will be a capable minister who supports the hero. ”
He raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Hide your confidence, you still have this ability." Our brothers, which one is a mediocre talent? ”
Candle Yong stared at him for a long time and sighed: "Since the fourth brother thinks so, what else does Candle Yong have to say?" Good! Let's go to Aicheng to seek refuge with Qingji's nephew, kill Ji Guang in Wu State, and avenge the family and eliminate the hatred of the country! ”
The hands of the two people were tightly clasped together, the two looked at each other and smiled, and asked again: "Have you finished reading Qingji's nephew's letter?" We must rush to defend the country as soon as possible, but he will rush to the state of Chu and urge the king of Chu to send troops to attack Wu together in March next year. You and I must do this, at the beginning tens of thousands of male soldiers, you and I are especially stronger than my nephew, and now I am panicking like a lost dog to go to my nephew, if you can't even do this, how can you face the heroes of the world? ”
"What the fourth brother said is, isn't it just to lead Bo Ya's soldiers to create some trouble for the Chu State and force the Chu State to fight with Bo Ya head-on?"
Candle Yong couldn't help but hate it when he said this, his teeth were gritted, and he endured it for a moment before he held back his breath and said: "The monarchs and ministers of the Chu State are narrow-minded, and they don't know how to take advantage of the opportunity to unite you and me to inflict heavy damage on Ji Guang, but they are there wishful thinking about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, sitting back and watching us fight with Ji Guang's soldiers and horses, hoping that we will both lose, which is really stupid." From top to bottom of Chu State, no one can see the current situation? He Chu is strong and middle-class, although there are more than 200,000 troops, but scattered over the vast territory, Ji Guang's soldiers come, like copper cone thorn cloth, with a point to one side, looking at the Chu State is strong, but in fact it is difficult to resist a blow. When you and I die, Ji Guang's soldiers will be directed at him. ”
Cover Yu smiled faintly: "Therefore, selfishness blinds people's minds." Shouldn't I? If I hadn't had the selfish idea of standing up for myself and competing with Qingji, how could I be used by the Chu people to be so miserable? If we had joined forces with Qingji at the beginning, how could we let Qingji's nephew rack his brains to ask for help from other countries with our strength? Alas! Needless to say, these are all things in the past, so there is no need to mention them. It is only right for you and me to discuss how to let the king of Chu set himself on fire. ”
He pursed his lips, thought about it and said: "I have already thought about it carefully, now Bo Yao is stationed in the Chao and Shu areas, every time we come to attack, we retreat into Dabie Mountain, they dare not go deeper, for fear that the Chu people will copy their back road, so they retreat." I thought that we could concentrate the remnants of the army this time, take the initiative to attack in a posture of fighting to the death, and after the defeat, we would not retreat to Dabie Mountain, but flee to various cities in the west and north of the Chu State.
Now that winter is approaching, our reluctance to retreat into the mountains is also a valid reason, and it will not arouse Bo Ya's suspicions. The purpose of Bo Yao is to be the head of you and me, seeing that you and I are defeated, he will definitely chase after him, and we can lead him to flee to Tongcheng, Huangpu, Longshu, and Nangang, where there are not many Chu garrisons, so he will not be too jealous. After we led the men and horses to attack the city and plunder, burn and loot, we fled to the Yingshi, Jifu, and Ruqing areas, and went to Weiguo Aicheng under the pretense of Zheng Guo.
It is best for them to chase all the way, even if they don't chase, after this burning, killing and looting, unless the king of Chu is a dead man, he must not say something, as long as he sends troops to confront Bo Yao head-on, then when Qingji's nephew arrives in Chu State, he urges Chu State to send troops to attack Ji Guang together, it is a matter of pushing the boat down the river, it is much easier. ”
Candle Yong's eyes were deep, and after listening to him, he closed his eyes and thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly his eyes opened, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "Fourth brother, we were so badly harmed by the Chu people, just leave like this, I am unwilling." ”
Cover Yu stared at him, and said solemnly: "Candle Yong, the big thing is important, don't be emotional, the hatred of the Chu people, let's talk about it after we succeed in killing Wu, now we must not lose the big because of the small and ruin the big plan of Qingji." ”
"Fourth brother, I'm not thinking about ruining the good things of Qingji's nephew, I just want to ...... Since our purpose is to draw the fire to the Chu people, why not burn this fire more vigorously? If you can't burn the little animal of King Chu, you have to burn his ungrown hair, and let out the evil breath in your heart. ”
Cover Yu was stunned: "Candle Yong, what are your plans?" ”
Candle Yong smiled gloomily, leaned his head over and whispered. The light reflected the figures of the two men on the wall, narrow and deformed, like a vicious wolf munching around its dying prey......
