"Are you sure about that?"

After Xie An gave the order to divide the troops, just when the Zhou army in the whole battalion was preparing for the division of troops, Qin Ke'er came to her residence under the pretext of contacting Liu Qing, but after a few words of greetings, she couldn't help but ask Liu Qing's opinion on the division of troops.

"He asked you to ask?" Liu Qing asked a little strangely.

"That's not it," Qin Ke'er spread his white hands and said with a smile, "Sometimes, he seems heartless...... He should be staring at the march map now! ”

Liu Qing was stunned when she heard this, and asked in wonder, "Why is he looking at the marching map?" ”

"Find your mother's grave!" With a chuckle, Qin Ke'er blinked and said in a low voice, "You forgot?" He promised Liang Qiuhao on his deathbed that he would be buried with your mother......"

Liu Qing was stunned, with a slightly complicated look in her eyes, and asked cautiously, "He...... Got it? ”

"Not yet......" Glancing at Liu Qing strangely, Qin Ke'er shook his head and said in a low voice, "Don't say it, he has lost his temper a few times about this, the original words are, Jingzhou is so big, how do I know where Zishan is?" ”

"That's ......" Liu Qing nodded suddenly in understanding, looking quite relieved.

"Don't you really know about that?" Qin Ke'er looked at Liu Qing in confusion.

Of course I know the nonsense!

"No...... I don't know...... Liu Qing shook her head with a smile and sighed, "When my mother died, I was only four or five years old, and I can't remember most of the things that happened, I only remember that my mother's aftermath was handled by Brother Chen...... Zishan, it should be a mountain in Jingzhou...... Ha. Haha......"

"You...... Liang Qiuhao hasn't taken you to worship all these years? ”

"......" Liu Qing's face stiffened when she heard this, in fact, the reason why she told Xie An that she didn't know where her mother Liu Qian's bones were buried, was just that she didn't want Liang Qiuhao to be buried with that woman, because Liang Qiuhao's death made her can't help but be full of hatred for her biological mother. After all, it seems to her. It was tantamount to her biological mother taking away the man she loved, but she really didn't want to mention these words to Xie An in person.

"If you don't know, you don't know! ――What are you here for? It may have been that Qin Ke'er touched the sore spot in her heart, and Liu Qing looked a little annoyed and angry.

"No...... I don't know, I don't know......" Qin Ke'er was taken aback by Liu Qing's overreaction, coughed lightly, and said softly, "As for what to do, I just want to ask you about the division of troops......"

"He asked you to ask?"

"No! Isn't he still looking for that Zishan on the marching map at this time......" As he spoke, Qin Ke'er glanced at Liu Qing with some strange expression. He whispered in a strange voice, "Speaking of which, he seems to trust you......"

"Your lord? Trust me? ――How dare you do this? Liu Qing habitually had a slight mocking smile on the corner of her mouth, but looking at the look in her eyes, it seemed to be quite useful, and there was a faint sense of joy.

"If I hadn't trusted you, how would I have entrusted you with all the power to handle such a big matter? - But honestly, are you sure? ”

"He's not in a hurry. What are you anxious about? ”

"Of course he can endure it, he is originally a slow temper......" Qin Ke'er pouted a little depressedly. Then he blinked and said, "Why don't you reveal your thoughts to me?" ”

"You?" Liu Qing sneered when she heard this, turned her head and said categorically, "Don't!" - You are on the side of the woman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, even if I tell Xie An, don't tell you! ”

"You ......" Qin Ke'er glanced at Liu Qing complainingly. He sighed and said, "I can't help it!" - What a powerful woman the eldest grandson Xiangyu is, you don't know, the first time we met, I was scared by her, and my heart and liver thumped...... I'm not as lucky as you are. It's all like that, and you can still get the trust of Mrs. Nagafang...... You didn't see the way Yan Hu Ji looked at me, the kind of eyes that wanted to dismantle me...... "The lady of the long house in her mouth refers to the Yan Hu Ji Liangqiu dance.

"What do you mean by everything like that? What's going on?! Liu Qing glanced at Qin Ke'er angrily.

"Anyway, let's reveal a thing or two...... In return, I'll say a few more nice things about you from him......"

For some reason, Liu Qing's heart was a little pounding when she heard this, only to see her glance at Qin Ke'er, and pretended to be disdainful and said, "I...... Do I need you to speak for me? ”

"That's not ......"

Qin Ke'er was about to elaborate, when suddenly the door of the house was pushed, and Cheng Yang, the general of the Great Liang Army, who temporarily served as Liu Qing's guard, pushed the door and walked in, clasped his fists and whispered, "Acting military division, the Taiping Army general Qi Zhi begs to see!" Saying that, he obviously noticed Qin Ke'er in the room, his eyes showed a little surprise, and he also bowed to Qin Ke'er, after all, Qin Ke'er's relationship with Xie An is now well known to the sergeant.

"Qi Zhi? - What did he come for? Liu Qing muttered, and was about to break away from Qin Ke'er, but saw the latter grinning and said, "I'll go behind the wooden fence of the screen......"

Looking at this posture, Qin Ke'er obviously had no intention of leaving.

"If it's not dirty, just stay there!" Liu Qing looked at Qin Ke'er with some depression and turned behind the screen. To be precise, it is not an ordinary screen in the house, it is just two shields placed in the corner to cover shame, after all, this is a military camp, it would be good for Liu Qing to have a separate cabin to protect from the wind and rain, what else can he ask for a separate toilet room? You must know that Xie An, as the commander-in-chief, is just a small cabin.

But then again, Cheng Yang's turn to leave made Liu Qing feel a little surprised, after all, Cheng Yang had extremely strong hostility towards her before, and it was hard to imagine that he would let her talk to Qi Zhi, the general of the Taiping Army, alone.

"Aren't you staying, Chengyang?" Liu Qing asked in surprise.

"No need...... "Glancing back at Liu Qing, Cheng Yang said in a deep voice, "The last general is not blind, some things can still be seen......" As he spoke, he hugged his fist at Liu Qing quite respectfully, turned around and left the wooden house.

Looking at the back of Cheng Yang leaving, Liu Qing felt a little heavy in her heart for some reason. Xie An's trust in her, Cheng Yang's trust in her, made her feel as if she was in the clouds. After all, before this, she had never had the luxury of gaining the trust of the people in the Zhou army's camp, because she was the leader of the Taiping army.

This faint warmth and excitement. It was maintained until Qi Sik walked into the house.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

Glancing at Qi Zhi, Liu Qing took a slight breath and said calmly, "This is where the Zhou army camp is located, I am a prisoner, and you are a general." You don't have to use the old name anymore, so as not to be criticized! ――Tell me about your intentions! ”

"......" Qi Zhi's eyes flashed with an imperceptible fluctuation, and after a little hesitation, Lang smiled and said, "I see...... However, the last general felt that Her Royal Highness the Princess was always Her Royal Highness the Princess......"

Frowning and glancing at Qi Zhi, Liu Qing waved his hand and said, "Okay." What's the matter? ”

"That's the case, Your Royal Highness Princess, the last general heard that the Zhou army in the camp is preparing to divide the troops?"

"......" Liu Qing's beautiful eyes flashed a little inexplicable, and she smiled slightly, she said quietly, "Yes! -- Li Shen, the king of Qin, saw that our army had set up camp in an instant, and knew that it would be difficult to succeed in the attack with the help of the sky. He planned to divide his troops to make our army tired of coping. Our army can only divide its troops......"

I...... Army?

Qin Ke'er, who was pinching her nose and hiding behind the screen to eavesdrop, was stunned, after all, since entering the camp, Liu Qing called Zhou Jun our army for the first time, and after thinking about it, she realized that Liu Qing's move might be to test Qi Zhi.

"Yes...... Is it ......" A little annoyance flashed in Qi Zhi's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Qi Zhi. Liu Qing said with a calm face, "Since Li Shen, the king of Qin, has divided three troops and horses, it is natural for our army to send three to deal with it, and the candidates are Tang Hao of the Jizhou Army, Liang Cheng of the Great Liang Army, and Wang Huai......" As she spoke, she glanced at Qi Zhi. said in a low voice, "Originally, in my eyes, although you Qi Zhi can't be compared with Tang Hao, you are far more suitable than Liang Cheng and Wang Huai, but it's a pity that ......"

"The last will understand!" Qi Zhi smiled bitterly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "The newly surrendered generals are naturally difficult to be reused, and the Zhou army is full of talents, so why worry about it?" ”

Zhou Jun...... Is it?

Carefully savoring Qi Zhi's title, Liu Qing coughed, then nodded and said, "It's good that you can understand...... Say, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Oh, the last general is just a little uneasy......"

"Uneasy?"

"Hmm!" Nodding heavily, Qi Zhi's face showed a little solemnity, and after gritting his teeth and hesitating for a while, he suddenly clenched his fists and whispered, "Your Royal Highness Princess, in fact, Xu Le and I surrendered to the Zhou army, and it was all Qin King Li Shen behind the scenes......

"......" Liu Qingmei's eyes narrowed, frowned and asked, "You wait...... Did you really take refuge in Li Shen, the king of Qin? ”

"Yes!" Qi Sik gritted his teeth and spit out a word with difficulty.

Hearing this, Liu Qing only felt a cramping pain in her heart, took a deep breath, and asked calmly, "Li Shen...... What benefits did you expect? ”

"It's definitely not because of the ......benefits," Qi Zhi shook his head again and again, and explained urgently, "That day, Xu Le and I fled from Nanling Shandong to Shanxi, with thousands of brothers by our side, but we suffered from no grain of rice to feed our stomachs and no inch of land to cover our bodies...... But Li Shen said that unless we take refuge in him, he will not allocate rice and grain......"

"And then you and Xu Le took refuge in him?"

Qi Zhi lowered his head and said bitterly, "It's really forced to be helpless, look at Her Royal Highness the princess!" ”

"......" Liu Qing secretly looked at Qi Zhi when he heard this, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "In other words, the reason why you and Xu Le agreed to my surrender is just to give Li Shen, the king of Qin, an internal response?" ”

Qi Zhi opened his mouth, speechless, and nodded silently, suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he quickly raised his head and said eagerly, "However, that was just the idea a few days ago......"

"Oh? So what now? Tell me about it! ”

"Yes! -- The last general just said, we are waiting to take refuge in Li Shen, the king of Qin, but we have no choice but to do it, Her Royal Highness the princess Mingjian, since the decisive victory valley defeated, the last general's 4,000 remnant brothers are subject to the sky, the earth, and hunger and cold, if we want to survive, we can only take refuge in Li Shen...... Could it be that we can still join Zhou Jun? Zhou Jun didn't just accept such a surrender army from me...... However, these days, the last general sees that Her Royal Highness the princess seems to have a lot of status in the camp, and he has a lot of personal relations with Xie An, the commander of the Zhou army, so the last general has the courage to expose his heart......"

"Hmm!" Liu Qing replied calmly, because she knew that Qi Zhi hadn't finished speaking.

Subconsciously glancing at the direction of the door, Qi Zhi took a step closer to Liu Qing and said in a low voice. "If Her Royal Highness the Princess really wants to help the Zhou army defeat Li Shen, the last general is willing to serve! - Her Royal Highness the Princess may not know that the reason why the rebel army divided its troops for no reason was to force the Zhou army to divide its troops and reduce the number of Zhou troops in this ice city as much as possible, so that the last general and Xu Le could suddenly attack after the surrender. Turning against each other, in this way, he, Li Shen, can use the chaos to defeat the Zhou army in one fell swoop! ”

"......" glanced at Qi Zhi deeply, and Liu Qing asked in a condensed voice, "Since you have found a new person of allegiance, why do you want to tell me such a secret thing?" ”

Qi Zhi hugged his fists when he heard this, and said righteously, "It's just a helpless move to take refuge in Li Shen, Her Royal Highness the princess is the one who swears allegiance to us!" ”

"Qi Zhi ......," Liu Qing's tone softened. It is not difficult to see that she was touched by Qi Zhi's loyalty.

"Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't need to say anything sorry to the last general, for the defeat of the decisive battle, the last general has never hated the princess, and the last general thinks that no one in our army will blame the princess for this...... I remember that Chen Shuai once said that as long as Her Royal Highness the princess is still there, even if we are all killed on the battlefield. Our Taiping Army will still not disappear because of this, as long as Her Royal Highness the princess is safe...... Now Her Royal Highness the princess is in the Zhou army. Although it seems that the last general is a little inappropriate, but if you think about it, it is not a bottom line...... If Her Royal Highness the Princess intends to make a comeback in the East of the Zhou Army, the last general is willing to be a pawn and earn the first merit for Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”

"Qin King Li Shen?"

"Exactly!" Nodding, Qi Zhi said in a deep voice. "In the past few days, because the Zhou army was strictly surveying, the last general did not follow Li Shen's instructions and kept in touch with him every day, but. Li Shen is indeed destined to secretly restrain the Zhou army, and when the time is ripe, he should join forces with the outside and take the base camp of the Zhou army in one fell swoop! -- I thought I might as well start here! ”

"Did you give the information to Li Shen, the king of Qin, so that he could be tricked?" Liu Qing looked thoughtful.

"Not bad! - Although Li Shen is good at using soldiers, he himself is from the royal family and is not good at martial arts, but there are four people beside him who rely on great generals: the general of the White Water Army, Zhen Lei, it is said that this person is not inferior to Chen Shuai in martial arts, and he knows the strategy, which is extremely difficult to deal with; Chen Zhao, the commander of the First Army, is quite similar to Ma Dan, the best at surprise attacks, night attacks, strong attacks, strong attacks, and brave men; Huang Shou, the commander of the Second Army, is a stable person who is good at attacking and defending, just like Fei Guo and Tang Hao of the Zhou Army; There is also Fu Ao, the commander of the Third Army, who is the best at arranging troops on the battlefield, like Liang Cheng, the commander of the Liang Army of the Zhou Army, but he is stronger than Liang Cheng in personal martial arts. - As long as he can manage to get rid of these four people, Li Shen will be like a tiger that has lost its minions, and it will be difficult to have the power to churn! ”

Liu Qing nodded when she heard this, sighed lightly and said, "I don't know what you said?" The problem is how difficult it is to get rid of these four people! ――Are you sure? ”

"This ......" Qi Zhi hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully, "Forgive the last general's talent, according to the last general's idea, I'm afraid I can only eradicate one of them first, and the premise is that everything goes well......"

Liu Qing nodded and said in a deep voice, "It is also a great achievement to be able to eradicate one person!" ――By the way, you intend to help me again, what about Xu Le? ”

"This ......" Qi Zhi hesitated when he heard this, hesitated for a while and said in embarrassment, "Xu Leshang has a grudge against Zhou Jun, especially Xie An and his wife, and even You, Your Royal Highness the Princess, he has hated him, and he has been talking nonsense in the camp for the past few days, saying that he wants to kill Xie An to avenge the soldiers of my Taiping Army......" As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Qing and said in a low voice, "Rong Mo will persuade again, and when necessary, Mo will ask his henchmen to tie him up with ropes, so as not to do this reckless bad thing!" ”

"Yes......" Liu Qing smiled bitterly when she heard this, and muttered, "He will hate me, he really should ...... Xu Le admires Brother Chen and Vice General Yang the most, but unfortunately those two died because of me in battle, and he should ...... if he hates me."

"Her Royal Highness the princess is serious, and the last general thinks that Chen Shuai and Vice General Yang are loyal to Her Royal Highness the princess even when they are dying, and they will never change their minds because Her Royal Highness the princess is forced to join the Zhou army......"

"I hope so!" Liu Qing nodded, and suddenly said with a straight face, "Since you have the heart to help me, then, I am not welcome...... Qi Zhi, find out for me the plan of Li Shen, the king of Qin, especially when he ordered you to wait for Li Ying to help him defeat the Zhou army! ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

"I will talk to Xie An about this matter in detail when I go back, so that he can give you convenience, so that you have the opportunity to contact Li Shen...... However, whether you can fool Li Shen or not depends on yourself! In any case, as long as you succeed in this plan, you can try to eliminate one of the generals under Li Shen, and even Li Shen, the king of Qin, no matter what the attitude of the generals of the Jizhou Army and the Great Liang Army in the camp is, I will personally pay tribute to Xie An for you! - With Brother Chen's relationship, and you have made such a great contribution to him, I think that Xie An will never be stingy! ”

Qi Zhi shook his head when he heard this, and said with a straight face, "It's not for Xie An, it's not for merit, it's not for glory, it's only for Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's just for my Taiping Army!" ”

"Qi Zhi ......" Liu Qing was greatly moved, couldn't help but raise her hand and pat Qi Zhi's shoulder, and said with a touched face, "Okay, good!" - You go back and prepare first, remember, I am always waiting for your good news! ”

"Yes!" Qi Zhi smiled and retreated with his fists clenched.

Liu Qing watched Qi Zhi leave the wooden house with a smile on her face, but the moment the door closed, the smile on her face was immediately put away.

"Whew!" Qin Ke'er walked out from behind the screen, looked at Liu Qing and sighed lightly, "What a loyal and good general, sister, I am so moved behind the screen...... Unexpectedly, there is such a loyal person as his sister! ”

"Not necessarily!" Liu Qing said expressionlessly.

"What?" Qin Ke'er was stunned and looked at Liu Qing in surprise.

I saw Liu Qing staring at the door with a complicated expression, and let out a long sigh, which was vaguely visible, and her beautiful eyes were full of disappointment and inexplicable pain.

"Not really! - However, it is worthy of being carefully selected by Brother Chen...... A god general! (To be continued......)
