"You know what? There are a lot of people who want to kill you! ”

Listening to Xie An's inexplicable words, Rao is Liu Qing did not find the slightest murderous intent from his words, and he was still a little uneasy in his heart.

Raising his hand to stop Yang Yu and Qi Zhi from drawing their swords, Liu Qing asked calmly, "I don't know if among those people, can Xie Shangshu be included?" ”

"Honfu?" Xie An was stunned, shook his head and said with a smile, "Why did Miss Liu Qing think of this mansion?" This is a big misunderstanding! ”

"Oh? Isn't it Xie Shangshu? ”

"Of course!" With a faint smile, Xie An looked back at Qin Ke'er and said, "Ke'er! ”

Qin Ke'er understood, took out a letter from his arms, laid it flat on the table, and pushed it to Liu Qing.

Liu Qing was slightly stunned, glanced at Xie An and Qin Ke'er suspiciously, carefully picked up the letter and glanced at it, and then his face changed slightly. I saw that there were only seven words written on the letter.

[100,000 soldiers, have gone to Jiangdong!] ]

It was Wu Heng, the third-generation deputy marshal of the Taiping Army, who had earlier ordered his confidant generals to shoot arrows into the Zhou army camp at night and send a letter to Xie An.

"Familiar? This handwriting? Xie An asked slowly.

"......" stared solemnly at the letter in her hand, Liu Qing didn't say a word, how could she not recognize this as Wu Heng's handwriting?

Is it really Wu Heng?

Liu Qing sighed secretly in her heart, although she had guessed a few points earlier, but there were still some illusions in her heart, and now, this letter completely dispelled the last trace of her trust in Wu Heng.

But in any case, Liu Qing at the moment can't admit it in front of Xie An, after all, this matter is too much to do, and in addition, she can't figure out why Xie An in front of her will hand over this letter to her.

"Xie Shangshu is really a good skill!" Smiling slightly, Liu Qing covered up Wu Heng's matter. said lightly, "There is also a fine ...... in our army."

"Huh?" To Liu Qing's surprise, Xie An was stunned when he heard this, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly realized that this was Liu Qing's words to cover up his family ugliness.

However, Xie An's momentary distraction was clearly captured by Liu Qing.

No way? Is there really a Zhou army in our army?

Liu Qing was secretly surprised in her heart, but at the moment she obviously didn't have time to think about who it was, after all, Xie An's preemptive move. It really made her a little confused. After all, the discord within the Taiping Army was finally learned by Xie An, and this matter had a lot to do with it.

After settling down, Liu Qing blinked, and said with a faint mocking smile, "Speaking of which." Looking at what Xie Shangshu said, the little woman thought that it was Xie Shangshu who wanted the little woman to die the most! ”

"That's wrong!" Shaking his head, Xie An said very sincerely, "In fact, this mansion has never had the slightest intention of harming Miss Liu Qing. ”

Here it comes......

Qin Ke'er's heart tightened, and her eyes were full of hostility when she looked at Liu Qing.

"......" seemed to notice Qin Ke'er's strange look, and Liu Qing glanced at her inexplicably. I couldn't understand it, and asked Xie An hesitantly, "Is this ...... Xie Shangshu's words really puzzled me......"

"It's true!" Drink all the wine in the cup in one gulp. Xie An licked his lips and said, "Actually, it's not appropriate for this to come from the mouth of this mansion...... In the public sense. This mansion is the official of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the secretary of the criminal department. And your army is the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the officials and thieves are not separated! But from a selfish point of view, the government doesn't want Miss Liu Qing to have any accidents......"

Perhaps sensing that the hostility in Qin Ke'er's eyes was becoming more and more obvious, Liu Qing glanced at her inexplicably, staring at Xie An intently, she knew that Xie An had not finished speaking.

"I think Miss Liu Qing should be clear, right? This mansion married a woman from the Liangqiu family in Donggong Mansion, one of the four towns of Jijing, and Liangqiu Dance as his wife......"

"[Yan Hu Ji] Liang Qiu dance? I've heard about it! Liu Qing barely smiled a little, she had already guessed what Xie An wanted to say, but she didn't know how to interrupt Xie An's words.

"That's easy to explain......" After a pause, Xie An took the wine jug and poured a glass for himself, and continued, "Everyone in the world thinks that the Liangqiu family now has only two clansmen, Liang Qiu Gong and Neiren, few people know that the Nei Liangqiu clan also has a cousin, a cousin who was exiled when he was a child, this person's real name is Liang Qiu Hao, but because of something, he lost his childhood memory, so he changed his name, called Chen Bei!" - Yes, Chen Bei, the third-generation commander of your army, is the cousin of the mansion, the twelfth generation of the Liangqiu family, Liangqiu Hao! ”

"What?!" Before Liu Qing could react, Yang Yu and Qi Zhi, who were acting as guards behind her, changed their faces drastically, and said in unison, "This is impossible!" - Xie An, don't talk about it! ”

Unexpectedly, Xie An ignored the two of them at all, looked at Liu Qing and continued, "I remember that this mansion got information about the Taiping Army in Guangling, and when I first met Miss Liu Qing's name, this mansion felt a little puzzled, and I always felt that I had heard this name somewhere...... Later, the mansion remembered that it turned out that Miss Liu Qing was what the cousin of the mansion's wife, Chen Bei, called [Qing'er] when he was in Jijing! ”

Yang Yu and Qi Zhi were even more shocked when they heard this, and asked in disbelief, "Your Royal Highness Princess, is this matter serious?" Old...... Chen Shuai actually ...... It was actually the Liangqiu family of Donggong Mansion, one of the four towns of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jijing? ”

"It's not that you were born in the Liangqiu family of Donggong Mansion!" Xie An waved his hand and corrected him, "It's the son-in-law and son of the Liangqiu family, who was originally the future head of the Liangqiu family's business!" ”

Yang Yu and Qi Zhi looked at each other, subconsciously looked at Liu Qing, and saw that she was silent, the two of them were shocked in their hearts, and they couldn't hide the surprise on their faces.

It is no wonder, after all, they are loyal to Chen Bei, and firmly believe that Chen Bei is the leader who can lead their Taiping army to finally restore the Southern Tang Dynasty and even overthrow the Zhou Dynasty, but who would have thought that this leader who is unparalleled in the world of martial arts is actually the son of the Liangqiu family of Donggong Mansion, one of the four towns of the Great Zhou Jijing.

You must know that the most hated by Jiangnan people is, of course, the tyrant Li Ji, and secondly, the Liangqiu family of Donggongfu, the head of the four towns. Thirty years ago, when the tyrant Li Ji invaded the Southern Tang Dynasty, Liang Qiu Gong, who was known as the first fierce general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, captured dozens of cities in the Southern Tang Dynasty and was one of the murderers who directly led to the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty. As a result, tens of thousands of soldiers loyal to the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Taiping Army drowned and froze to death in the lake. These two generations of tiger generals of the Liangqiu family, in the eyes of the Taiping Army, are so different from the enemies of Dai Tian!

Inevitably, Yang Yu and Qi Zhi's hearts were shaken, and they were stunned by the shocking secret story that Xie An recounted.

"Xie Shangshu really has a lot of eyes......" As if noticing the complicated looks in Yang Yu and Qi Zhi's eyes, Liu Qing said with a somewhat bitter smile, "No matter when, don't you forget to take the opportunity to hit your opponent?" ”

"Heh, Miss Liu Qing is too worried." Smiling slightly, Xie An said indifferently. "I just want to tell Miss Liu Qing that I have a cousin with my wife, Liang Qiuhao...... Well, let's call it Brother Chen, this mansion has a very good relationship with Brother Chen, from his mouth. I also learned something about Miss Liu Qing, so the government couldn't bear to harm Miss Liu Qing...... Of course, these words did not come from the mouth of Xie An, the secretary of the Criminal Department, but from the mouth of Brother Chen's cousin-in-law! - Although Miss Liu Qing deliberately covered it up on her behalf, Xie still had to point out the whistleblower letter in Miss Liu Qing's hand. It's not from someone else, it's from the hand of Wu Heng, the deputy marshal of your army! - He can't wait for Miss Liu Qing to die! ”

"......" Yang Yu and Qi Zhi's faces changed again and again when they heard this.

"It's a pity, Wu Heng missed a little, Xie is the secretary of the Criminal Department. Ordered by the country to lead the army to crusade against the Taiping Army, he naturally hoped to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, but Xie did not want Miss Liu Qing to have any accidents in this war. After all, I hit it off at first sight with Brother Chen. It's a good friendship! -- Listening to the persuasion of the government, Miss Liu Qing had better stop from this rebellion as soon as possible, and the court would try its best to exonerate Brother Chen and Miss Liu Qing...... As the leader of the first army and the soul of the army, but was betrayed by the deputy marshal of the army, Miss Liu Qing thinks that the Taiping Army, which is still fighting internally, can really cope with the Great Zhou? ”

"......" Liu Qing was silent when she heard this, after all, what Xie An said was true, in the face of the strong opponent of Da Zhou, her Taiping Army was still unable to unite and fight endlessly, how could this win?

If Miss Liu Qing is willing to stop here, she can come out to the court to ask for a meeting, and the black pot that provoked this disaster will be borne by Wu Heng...... At the time, if Miss Liu Qing is also interested, how about being a matchmaker for the two of them? ”

Liu Qing let out a long sigh when she heard this, her face was full of bitterness, she knew very well that Chen Bei's affection for her was just a brother and sister, and even a foster father and daughter, not the relationship between men and women, the man she loved was always another woman, her long-deceased mother, Liu Qian.

Although she has worked hard to get involved in it over the years, it has been proved that Chen Bei's feelings for her mother, which spans life and death, are difficult for her to get involved in no matter what.

There is a kind of man in this world who will only love one woman deeply in their life. For a woman who is loved, this is a great happiness, but for another woman, it is extremely cruel.

Looking at Xie An and Liu Qing back and forth, Qin Ke'er was inexplicably stunned in her heart.

She originally thought that Xie An coveted Liu Qing, but at the moment, it didn't seem to be like this......

Could it be that I misunderstood him?

Thinking of being like a jealous woman these days, Qin Ke'er couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but then again, after the misunderstanding was resolved, she was really much more at ease, so her gaze at Liu Qing also returned to its original state, and it was no longer as hostile as Fang Cai.

However, at this moment, Liu Qing didn't have much time to pay attention to Qin Ke'er, I have to say that she was a little confused by Xie An's words, not that she was moved by Xie An's words, the problem was that Xie An poured out the two things she wanted to hide.

One is that Wu Heng wants to kill people with a knife to eradicate her, and the other is Chen Bei's background......

No matter which of these two things spread, once it spreads in the Taiping army, it will cause an uproar, and what's worse is that Xie An kept saying that he would try his best to intercede with the Great Zhou court on his behalf and pardon her Liu Qing and Chen Bei's crimes, but he didn't say a word about the Taiping generals like Yang Yu and Qi Zhi.

It is really worthy of being a figure who is still in the criminal department of the Zhou court......

seems to be a heart-to-heart remark, but in fact, he and Brother Chen have been pushed to the forefront.

Glancing at Yang Yu and Qi Zhi quietly, seeing that their eyes flickered, and they stopped talking a few times, Liu Qing sighed secretly in his heart.

She knows it well. Because of Xie An's words, Yang Yu and Qi Zhi, the two Taiping Army generals who were originally loyal to her and Chen Bei, changed their minds in their hearts.

If they don't say anything at this time, I'm afraid they really think that they have the heart to abandon the Taiping Army, right?

Thinking of this, Liu Qing took a deep breath, looked at Xie An and said lightly, "It seems that Xie Shangshu is also prepared this time!" Compared with Xie Shangshu's methods, the little woman's deliberate delay is too superficial...... Xie Shangshu really thought that just a few words from you. Can we separate the lieutenant generals of our army? ”

Isn't it a good effect?

Glancing at Yang Yu and Qi Zhi, who had strange faces, Xie Anxin smiled secretly, but the expression on his face did not show the slightest clue, and said innocently, "Miss Liu Qing said something." This government is just talking about things...... If Miss Liu Qing doesn't believe it, Xie can swear to heaven that he will never harm Miss Liu Qing and Brother Chen, but will do his best to exonerate the court on his behalf! ”

"No need!" Liu Qing resolutely interrupted Xie An's words, and now, she gradually believes that Xie An really has no ill intentions towards her. However, this could not be said in front of Yang Yu and Qi Zhi, but Xie An deliberately mentioned it three times and twice, which was undoubtedly an attempt to separate her, Yang Yu and Qi Zhi.

What a sinister intention!

Squinted a pair of beautiful eyes. Liu Qing said lightly, "It's not too early, if Xie Shangshu doesn't mind, I'll come and discuss the peace talks!" ”

For Liu Qing, she will see through her own discordant scheme. Xie An was not surprised at all, after all, Liu Qing was the smartest woman he had ever seen, except for the eldest grandson Xiangyu. But what if you see through it? Everything he Xie An said was the truth.

This is also the reason why Liu Qing knew Xie An's intentions, but she couldn't refute them.

"Peace talks......" Smacking his lips, Xie An said with a straight face, "In this case, Xie can no longer use Brother Chen's cousin-in-law to talk to Miss Liu Qing, after all, this mansion is still the secretary of the Great Zhou Criminal Department, and his responsibilities are in his body, please don't be surprised by Miss Liu Qing!" ”

The implication is that we will never back down on this matter?

Liu Qing clearly grasped the meaning of Xie An's words, frowned slightly, and took the lead in saying, "My Xiakou warship, there are more than 100 ships and more than 200 ships, our army is willing to hand over half of them to the Daliang army, in exchange for Xie Shangshu's promise to let our army of 40,000 people cross the river safely......"

"Good!" Ignoring the surprised gazes of Gou Gong, Ding Qiu and others, Xie An responded without thinking, nodded and said, "This matter has been promised by this government, when will the warship be delivered?" ”

Liu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait until our army crosses the river......"

"No, that's not going to happen!" Xie An shook his head when he heard this, and said lightly, "First ship!" ”

"Cross the river first!" Liu Qing frowned and said.

"First ship!"

"Cross the river first!"

"First ship!"

"......" Liu Qing frowned and glanced at Xie An, and said with some displeasure, "Does Xie Shangshu think that I, Liu Qing, am a three-year-old child?" ――If I really hand over the ordinary warships to the Great Liang Army first, I'm afraid that Xie Shangshu will wipe out our army as soon as he turns his head, right? ”

"How is that possible?!" Xie An said innocently.

Having said that, but in fact, Xie An did think about this matter, if Liu Qing really handed over the warship to the Great Liang Army first, he would not be polite to the Taiping Army at all, and he would definitely try every means to exterminate the Taiping Army, but according to what he said before, he would not harm Liu Qing, after all, Xie An would also use Liu Qing to lure Chen Bei, the brother-in-law.

As for the promise...... The eldest husband is not informal, Xie Anke is not pedantic enough to be trustworthy to the traitorous thief army, he knows very well that if he sends troops to Jiangling to support Li Xian, leaving Liu Qing's 40,000 people behind his back, this is a scourge after all, he can guarantee that he will not harm Liu Qing, but can he guarantee that Liu Qing will not come to a surprise attack?

After being silent for a long time, Xie An shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "In this way, both you and I will take a step back, this government will allow your Taiping army to cross the river with 20,000 people first, and after that, you will hand over the military ship to me, and then, this government will let the remaining 20,000 people of your army cross the river, how about it?" ”

"It seems that Xie Shangshu really thinks that the little girl is a three-year-old child!" With a sneer, Liu Qing unceremoniously pierced Xie An's intentions, and said coldly, "If the little girl is really stupid to such an extent, I'm afraid that none of the 40,000 soldiers in our army will survive, right?" ”

Liu Qing's guess was right, if she dared to ask 20,000 troops to cross the river first. Then, after the delivery of the warship, Xie An will definitely immediately send troops to destroy the more than 20,000 Taiping troops who have not yet crossed the river, and attack the 20,000 Taiping troops with 60,000 Liang troops. After successfully exterminating the 20,000 people, Xie An led the army to cross the river again, and continued to pursue the 20,000 people who had crossed the river before, and even a single Taiping soldier could not escape.

It's a pity. Xie An could only think about this kind of good thing, after all, he knew very well that with Liu Qing's ingenuity, he would never be confused in this kind of thing.

"Haha, just kidding. No wonder! It seemed that noticing Liu Qing's unkind face, Xie An smiled, and then said with a straight face, "In this way, the Taiping army and our army crossed the river at the same time, our army went to Jiangling from the Xiangjiang River, and the Taiping army went to the Yangtze River...... If nothing goes wrong. It should be back to Xiangyang, so don't interfere with each other, how about it? ”

Liu Qing pondered for a moment when she heard this, in comparison. Xie An's proposal was indeed more sincere than his previous words, but there was still no guarantee that the Zhou army would attack the Taiping army in the middle of the way.

Thinking of this, she frowned and said. "How does Xie Shangshu guarantee that your army will not attack our army in the middle?"

"No guarantees! After all, there is no basis for what the government says. Your army won't believe it, will you? Xie An pretended to shrug his shoulders helplessly, in fact, if there was an opportunity, he would definitely attack the Taiping Army once and for all, after all, the war is not a game, the king is defeated, Xie An, who is the secretary of the criminal department, is bound to be responsible for Da Zhou and the soldiers of Da Liang under his command.

Obviously, Liu Qing also heard what Xie An meant, but she also knew that she really didn't have any effective means to restrain Xie An at the moment.

Hostage exchange? It's not realistic.

Suddenly, Liu Qing seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice, "Just now, Xie Shangshu once said that he wanted to keep the little girl's life and not harm the little girl, right?" ”

"Hmm, what?" Xie An asked puzzled.

The little woman thought that Xie Shangshu was doing this mostly for Brother Chen, right? - Even if you take the little girl, you won't do harm, just to say that Brother Chen will be demoted and let Brother Chen go back to Liangqiu's house, right? ”

"Huh!" Xie An smiled faintly and did not reply. After all, it is one thing to be guessed by Liu Qing, and it is another thing for him to admit it personally, and the nature of the two is completely different.

"In this case, during the period when our army crosses the river, if your army unilaterally tears up the peace negotiation agreement and takes the lead in attacking our army, I, Liu Qing, will kill myself on the river!"

"Princess?" Yang Yu and Qi Zhi's faces changed slightly, and they exclaimed in surprise.

"In order to save the lives of 40,000 soldiers of our army, I Liu Qing is a bet, why pity?" Liu Qing said lightly.

Yang Yu and Qi Zhi were moved when they heard this, and their eyes that originally seemed complicated and flickering became firm again.

What is this? The Jedi Strikes Back?

Xie An opened his mouth and was speechless, he knew very well that Liu Qing's words seemed to be said to Qi Zhi and Yang Yu, but in fact, it was said to him Xie An.

Sure enough, she is a woman whose intelligence is comparable to that of Changsun Xiangyu, how witty!

Xie An frowned secretly, he finally shook the minds of Yang Yu and Qi Zhi, making them suspicious of Liu Qing and Chen Bei, but he didn't expect that Liu Qing would use this method to regain the loyalty of Yang Yu and Qi Zhi.

What's worse is that Xie An really can't watch Liu Qing die, you must know that if this is the case, it will be tantamount to him Xie An forcing Liu Qing to death, even if Chen Bei has a very good relationship with him, so good that he is like a brother, I am afraid that he will completely turn his face with him because of this matter. Regardless of whether Chen Bei will seek revenge on him, at least, it is absolutely impossible to let Chen Bei return to Liangqiu's house to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and Xie Anke promised Liangqiu Gong that he would do everything possible to let Chen Bei return to Liangqiu's house.

Damn it! I knew that I wouldn't reveal the matter of my eldest brother, and I originally wanted to separate the relationship between Liu Qing and her subordinates, but I didn't expect that in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and this smart girl took advantage of the loophole, which really lifted a stone and shot herself in the foot......

What to do? Do you want to find a way to annihilate the 40,000 Taiping Army, or sell Liu Qing a face, so that you can talk when you see your uncle in the future?

After thinking about it, Xie An, who had a solemn face, looked at Liu Qing and didn't speak for a while, obviously weighing the benefits and losses.

That's it, anyway, with Liu Qing's intelligence, it is almost impossible to take advantage of himself, rather than wasting time with her here in vain, it is better to support Li Xian as soon as possible, as long as he can help Li Xian get out of trouble, and the combined army is pacified [Three Kings], Liu Qing's 40,000 soldiers can't do any tricks......

It's good to sell her a face, I really want to see her in the future!

Thinking of this, Xie An raised the wine cup and drank the wine in the glass, and placed the wine cup on the table.

"This is only one time, not the next one!"
