"Stepping on ......"

There was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and near the east gate of the ice and snow castle of the Zhou army, the soldiers of Daliang who were busy building camp facilities unconsciously stopped what they were doing, and stood up in unison, looking at the group of people who were slowly approaching them in astonishment.

Walking in the forefront is Cheng Yang, the general of the Great Liang Army, but the people who followed behind this general made the faces of the Great Liang soldiers change slightly, and they unconsciously whispered.

"What's going on?"

"This ...... What's going on? ”

"Taiping Army...... The Taiping army is actually in our army camp?! ”

The former general of the Taiping Army stationed in Xiakou, the six gods of the Yuheng god general Qi Zhi......

The former Taiping Army Liu Qing was a fierce general, and Xu Le, the fierce general who attacked the Hukou camp of the Zhou Army that day and night......

The faces of these two people, how could the soldiers of the Great Liang not recognize them?

While looking at each other, many Liang sergeants subconsciously held the weapons placed around them and surrounded them with unkind faces.

As if noticing the actions of the Liang soldiers, the more than 20 Taiping soldiers led by Xu Le also held down the sabers on their waists.

Taking a step forward to block Xu Le, who had a more impulsive personality, Qi Zhi, the six god generals of the Taiping Army, looked at Cheng Yang coldly and sneered, "Is this your Zhou Army's hospitality?" - Or is there no intention that Her Royal Highness wants to see me and wait for me, and that you are all waiting to make a fool of yourself? ”

Cheng Yang, who was walking in front, stopped, turned around, and looked at Qi Zhi with a blank face.

There is no doubt that as long as he raises his arms at this moment, Qi Zhi and Xu Le will be overwhelmed by the angry Liang soldiers in an instant, and there will be no bones left. But......

[Large ...... My lord. You said that you want the last general to personally go out to meet the Taiping army? ]

[Ah, Liang Cheng and Wang Huai are also responsible for supervising and defending matters, and the two of them recommended you to the government...... The government knows that among the soldiers of the Great Liang Army, you hate the Taiping Army the most, but at the moment, the government still hopes that you can focus on the overall situation! ]

[Last...... There is no guarantee that it will be possible. Why don't adults choose someone else? ]

[I want to give someone a statement, let her see the true side of the Great Liang Army to her, both to win her trust and to warn her!] - Therefore, after thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable......]

[Heavenly Ji Liu Qing?] ]

[Liu Qing's resourcefulness is indispensable for our army to defeat Li Shen, the king of Qin!] ]

[Last general...... Yes, sir! ]

The scene when coach Xie An was talking to him alone came to mind, and Cheng Yang looked at Qi Zhi and Xu Le's eyes, and the deep anger that was originally contained seemed to have faded a little.

"Smack!" Raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Cheng Yang said expressionlessly, "It's all ...... Retire! -- Xie Shuai has an order, and this matter will be handed over to the acting military division for disposal, and anyone will ...... Don't be presumptuous! ”

"General Chengyang?" When the soldiers of Daliang heard this, they looked at each other, and retreated in defeat under the gaze of Chengyang.

Seeing this, Xu Le and others of the Taiping Army also let go of the handle of the knife they were holding.

"yes, that's how it ...... Sincerity of the negotiation! Qi Zhi looked at Cheng Yang as if he was meaningful, and the latter snorted coldly. Walk forward on your own.

The group walked for a long half of the incense, and Qi Zhi and Xu Le's faces changed slightly. Because they saw that the lord they had once been loyal to, Heavenly Ji Liu Qing, was standing only more than ten zhang away from them.

"Unexpectedly...... Is it true? A little pain flashed in Qi Zhi's eyes, as if the last few glimmers of hope had been cut off.

And beside him, Xu Le clenched his fists. Only the face is red.

"......" turned his head slightly and glanced at the two behind him, a hint of discoloration flashed in Cheng Yang's eyes, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, walked a few steps to Liu Qing, and knocked on the ground on one knee. Clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "The last general will become a central government, and I will obey Xie Shuai's orders, and according to the orders of the acting military division, I will ...... These two are brought into the camp! ”

Looking at Cheng Yang's indifferent eyes, Liu Qing felt a little worried in her heart.

If she could, she was not very happy to stay with the generals of the Great Liang Army, because every time those generals looked at her, she felt that these people would pounce on her at any moment and tear her apart.

In comparison, Liu Qing is still more inclined to Xie An's descendant army Jizhou soldiers, at least the Jizhou army has no direct conflict of interest with her, and there has never been any contradiction, so Liu Qing does not have to worry about what Tang Hao, Liao Li, Qi Hao and other troops will do to her.

"It's too much better...... Liu Qing muttered to herself.

Let the generals of the Great Liang Army come to assist her in dealing with this matter, Liu Qing can see that this is Xie An's kindness, after all, as long as she still wants to stay in the Zhou Army, the contradiction between her and the Great Liang Army is bound to be resolved first, and at the moment, Xie An deliberately called Cheng Yang, who was born in the Great Liang Army, to assist Liu Qing, undoubtedly conveying a meaning to Liu Qing: The Great Liang Army has already made a compromise with you, so do you have to express it?

It was precisely because she took care of her Liu Qing that Xie An would call Cheng Yang of the Great Liang Army to assist her, Liu Qing knew this, but on the other hand, Xie An's kindness and Cheng Yang's cooperation couldn't help but flatter her a little. After all, she never thought that Da Liang Jun would have a day when he bowed his head to her......

"General Chengyang, please get up! -- There's General Law! Although he thought of a lot in his heart for a moment, Liu Qing's reaction was still so fast, and he helped Cheng Yang up as soon as possible.

"......" nodded slightly, Cheng Yang stood up, holding his sword and standing behind Liu Qing, after all, in this matter, he not only played the role of protecting Liu Qing, but also monitored Liu Qing.

Once Liu Qing does anything that is unfavorable to Zhou Jun, he will be killed on the spot!

This is Chengyang's plea to Xie An, and it is also the reason why he agreed to this mission. Perhaps, deep down, he was still thinking about how to eradicate Liu Qing and avenge the many sacrificed Tongze.

Cheng Yang's eyes, which were still full of hatred, naturally couldn't hide it from Liu Qing, but Liu Qing didn't care, after all, Cheng Yang could do this, which already surprised Liu Qing. As for whether Cheng Yang will kill her when he sees the opportunity, Liu Qing is not worried, after all, the generals of the Great Liang Army are no less loyal to the country than the Jizhou Army, as long as she Liu Qing is still useful, she does not firmly believe that Cheng Yang will not poison her. Unless she does something unfavorable to Zhou Jun.

Compared with Cheng Yang, Liu Qing is most concerned about Qi Zhi and Xu Le, the two former generals......

"Your Highness the Princess!" It may be that they finally saw the lord who was thinking about it again, Qi Zhi and Xu Le clenched their fists excitedly and called out.

"Qi Zhi, Xu Le......" thought that there were a thousand words to say, but when he opened his mouth. Liu Qing was stunned to find that she couldn't say even a word.

I want to start an incident at Hukou, waving more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but in just four months, the Taiping army was divided, Liang Qiuhao was killed in battle, Yang Yu was killed in battle, and the six gods were killed in name, and even she Liu Qing was trapped in the Zhou army camp and became a prisoner of the Zhou army......

He was once the head of the Taiping Army. Now that he has become a prisoner of the Zhou army, although he has the position of acting as a military division, God knows when he will be cut down?

Although Liu Qing can be sure that with the relationship between Xie An and Liang Qiuhao, it is bound to save her life, and even take care of her for the rest of her life.

But the problem is, look at the whole world. Maybe only Xie An and Liang Qiuwu have good intentions towards her, leaving aside him and his wife. How many people are holding back their energy to kill her?

Even, even the eldest grandson Xiangyu may have the intention of eradicating her, after all, she Liu Qing is the only one who can threaten that woman, and Liu Qing does not believe that the eldest grandson Xiangyu will stand by and watch her grow up.

How sad! What a pity!

"Ahem! Strategist, it's cold outside. Why don't you go inside the house and talk about it! It seemed that he noticed the lingering sadness on Liu Qing's pretty face, and Cheng Yang felt a little unbearable in his heart. After all, Liu Qing put aside her wisdom, she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she was still too old to be a teenager.

"Hmm......" Chengyang's kindness made Liu Qing's heart warm slightly. I saw her let out a long breath, looked back at Qi Zhi and Xu Le and said, "Qi Zhi, Xu Le, talk about it in the house, okay?" ”

"Yes!" Qi Zhi and Xu Le bowed their heads and clenched their fists.

So, Liu Qing invited Qi Zhi and Xu Le into the hut where she lived. After instructing the soldiers to serve drinks and meals, Cheng Yang stood behind Liu Qing with his sword, not only guarding Liu Qing, but also monitoring her.

Suddenly, Cheng Yang seemed to notice something, and looked at Qi Zhi and Xu Le suspiciously, after all, the two of them had been staring at him, but there was no evil intent in their eyes, which made him a little unpredictable.

How did he know that Qi Zhi and Xu Le thought of a certain Taiping Army general from his action of standing with a sword, and thought of Liu Qing's former personal army commander and commander of the Tianfu Army, who was also Qi Zhi and Xu Le's most respected Taiping soldier except Liang Qiuhao.

"The bones of Vice General Yang, the last general is buried in Nanling......" After sitting down, Qi Zhi's words without warning broke the heavy and strange atmosphere in the room.

"That's ......" Liu Qing responded, but didn't know how to continue.

I don't know if I saw Liu Qing's embarrassment, Qi Zhi didn't wait for Liu Qing to ask carefully, and said to himself, "On that day, as one of the strange soldiers of the Absolute Life Valley, the last general was ready to flank the Zhou army before and after according to the plan, and the result was ...... As expected by Her Royal Highness the Princess, the eldest grandson Xiangyu set up an ambush on the road that our army must pass, and the final general was defeated, so he had to retreat, and by the way, he led the ambush to Nanling...... The mountain road is rugged and difficult, in order to protect the corporals, the last general can only hastily bury Vice General Yang on the South Ridge, hoping that Her Royal Highness the princess will atone for her sins......"

"Hmm......" Liu Qing nodded, and suddenly gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "How about the loss of soldiers?" ”

Qi Zhi let out a long breath when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "Yan Shao's army was completely annihilated, and he himself was beheaded by Zhou's general Liao Li...... Chu Qi was also annihilated, and more than 3,000 people died under Li Jingjun's iron cavalry...... Jiang Pei, it is said that he himself was a rival to the Zhou general Qi Hao, and once successfully forced him to retreat, and then led the remnants of the army to escape into the forest, using the forest as a cover, and Qi Hao entangled and fight, but Qi Hao set fire to the forest around the forest and burned him alive in the forest, and his bones were gone...... Yang Hua was beheaded by Ma Dan, and Yan Lei, the general of the Shaking Light God, was beheaded by a Red Armor general......"

"......" Liu Qing only heard that her shoulders trembled slightly, and her face showed a look of pain.

Glancing at Liu Qing, Qi Zhi continued, "Only...... Only the last general and Xu Le escaped, Xu Le bumped into the Zhou general Su Xin, who was not as brave as Xu Le, and did not dare to be too urgent, so Xu Le had the opportunity to escape into Nanling, as for the last general, he met the Zhou general Zhang Dong, Zhang Dong was old and steady, and he did not want to fight with the last general. Therefore, after paying a heavy price, the last general can also lead more than a thousand defeated soldiers and flee to Nanling......"

"That's ......" Liu Qing let out a long sigh when she heard this, she can be regarded as a good speaker on weekdays, but it seems that she can only say these three words repeatedly.

"The battle of the Valley of Absolute Life. Our...... Defeated? Qi Zhi asked Liu Qing in a trembling tone.

Liu Qing was shocked when she heard this, nodded silently after half a sound, and said in a low voice, "I...... Not as good as the eldest grandson Xiangyu! ”

"Whew, that's it......" Qi Zhi let out a sigh when he heard this, his expression unexpectedly relaxed, and after glancing at Liu Qing, he suddenly whispered, "What about Chen Shuai?" ”

"......" Cheng Yang subconsciously looked at Liu Qing. After all, he also knows some of Liu Qing's feelings for Liang Qiuhao.

I saw Liu Qing trembling after hearing this, holding the hem of his clothes with both hands, gritting his teeth and saying with difficulty, "At that time, our army was blocked by the Zhou army in the Absolute Life Valley, and the ten crossbowmen and 5,000 crossbowmen secretly made by Sun Xiangyu before and after, and thousands of archers on the mountain cliff behind them...... Duration. Brother Chen had dozens of crossbow arrows in his body, and his blood flowed out. If you don't have the strength, you will end up ...... Finally passed away in the forest twenty miles north of Gangneung City......"

Chen Shuai ...... Did even Chen Shuai die in battle? Qi Zhi's eyes showed a deep sadness, shook his head and muttered, "In this way, my Taiping army has exhausted everything......

Beside him, Xu Lezhi clenched his fists. The anger in his eyes grew stronger, but he didn't attack.

"I'm sorry, but I'm ...... I'm sorry! Biting her lip, Liu Qing lowered her head and whispered in a slightly stalky tone. It was I who misestimated the wisdom of the eldest grandson Xiangyu and brought you to death! - I'm sorry! ”

She was originally sitting on her knees, but at this moment, she looked like she was bowing her head to Qi Zhi and Xu Le and begging for forgiveness.

Seeing this, Qi Zhi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly got up and wanted to step forward to help Liu Qing, but after glancing at Cheng Yang who was standing with a sword in his hand, he endured it, helped Liu Qing with both hands, and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess is serious!" At that time, Her Royal Highness the Princess asked me if I trusted Her Royal Highness, and we all said yes...... This is not just talking, in my opinion, it seems that Yan Zhao, Jiang Pei, Chu Qi and others, even at the last moment, firmly believe in Her Royal Highness the Princess...... Her Royal Highness the princess was defeated at the hands of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but it was just bad luck...... Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, why should they be self-defeating? - It's just ......" Speaking of this, Qi Zhi suddenly slowed down his tone, and a somewhat complicated look appeared in his eyes when he looked at Liu Qing.

And at this moment, only to hear a loud bang, the small case in front of Xu Le that placed the wine and food was smashed by him with a punch, and the wine and dishes were scattered all over the ground.

"When are you going to go around the bush like this?!" Glancing sideways at Qi Zhi who looked at him with a little frown, Xu Le snorted coldly, looked at Liu Qing with an angry face, and said in a deep voice, "The last general is a rough person, not as eloquent as Qi Zhi, and the last general only asks Her Royal Highness the princess...... Her Royal Highness the Princess, have you taken refuge in Zhou Jun?! ”

"Xu Le!" Qi Zhi let out a low sigh and stretched out his hand to pull Xu Le, but the latter shook his arm to break free.

"What are you holding me back? I'm here today to ask! Pushing Qi Zhi away, Xu Le glared at Liu Qing angrily, and repeated in a deep voice, "Your Royal Highness Princess, have you already defected to Zhou Jun?!" ”

......Seeing Xu Le persecuting Liu Qing so much, Cheng Yang subconsciously shook his body and planned to stand out, but after glancing at Liu Qing, he quietly withdrew his right foot. It is not difficult to guess that he also wants to hear what Liu Qing has to say about this, after all, this is the real purpose of his stay here.

Facing Xu Le's persecution, Liu Qing gradually calmed down, and after looking at Xu Le for a while, she gritted her teeth, nodded and said, "Yes!" - I have made up my mind to help the Zhou army defeat Li Shen, the king of Qin! Moreover...... Abandon the identity of the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Taiping Army! ”

......Hearing this, Xu Le was dumbfounded, and after staring at Liu Qing blankly for a while, he sat back in the seat and didn't interject.

"Your Royal Highness, your lord's words, are you too heavy? Aren't you angry with this guy? Glancing at Xu Le, Qi Zhi said in a low voice, "Xu Le is a reckless man, so you don't want to be like him...... No matter what, Her Royal Highness the princess can't say this......"

Shaking his head, Liu Qing said in a deep voice, "It's not because of Xu Le's relationship, I've been thinking about this for a long time......

"Her Royal Highness the Princess......" Qi Zhi's eyes flashed a little different, and suddenly, he took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Okay, as a subordinate, the last general has no right to ask Her Royal Highness the princess's plans...... It's just that since Her Royal Highness the princess has the heart to give up everything she once had, why did she send a letter inviting me and Xu Le to Zhouying and ......" As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Qing and said in a low voice, "If Her Royal Highness the Princess wants the last general and Xu Le's life, just one sentence, the last general and Xu Le will kill themselves in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”

"No!" Liu Qing raised his hand to interrupt Qi Zhi's words, and Zhengse said, "I just don't want the last 4,000 of my 50,000 Taiping army to get involved in the fight between the Zhou army and the rebel army again......"

"......" Qi Zhi's eyes flashed with a hint of color, and he said in a low voice, "What does Her Royal Highness the princess mean is that you want me to surrender to Zhou Jun?" ”

Liu Qing hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Surrender or not, you can discuss it yourself, I have already said it, I am no longer the princess of the Taiping Army...... I just think that if you can let go of your past grievances and choose to stand on the side of the Zhou army, it will definitely be better than standing on the side of Li Shen, the king of Qin! ”

Qi Zhi was slightly startled and asked in a low voice, "What does Her Royal Highness the princess mean by this?" ”

I saw Liu Qing looking at Qi Zhi deeply for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Actually, you have already taken refuge in Li Shen, the king of Qin, haven't you?" - Don't be in a hurry to deny it! Just from the fact that the two of you dared to come to the Zhou camp alone with only one letter from me, but I didn't think about whether this was a trick of the Zhou army, I knew that it was Li Shen, the king of Qin, who sent you two...... I can guess that it was me based on that night attack alone, and it seems that I really underestimated the third son of the emperor before the Great Zhou! ”

“……”

"So, what do you two want to do?"

Staring at Qi Zhi, whose expression changed slightly, Liu Qing said word by word.
