As soon as Mo Chu and Nangong Qing returned to the mansion, Zhen Cheng and the others greeted them.

"Senior brother, I heard that the King of Chu rewarded you and was rejected by you, is it true?" Zhen Cheng asked with concern.

"Hmm. Mo Chu didn't want to mention it, but everyone was staring at it.

"Then why, many people desperately want to get it, but you refuse at the risk of killing your head. Qiu Cicada was puzzled.

"That's right, I also want to know why?" Nangong Qing was angry and anxious, losing his former calm.

He continued: "The king really values you very much, and directly appoints you as the commander of Langzhong, which is a great gift. As the king said, he really gave his life to you.

If you say that you refuse Lang Zhongling because you don't want to stay with the king of Chu for fear of losing your freedom, then let you be a general, you can use your talents at will, why do you want to refuse?"

"Master, I know you care about me, but I'm a civilian, I've never been an official, and I really won't lead troops to fight. Besides......" Before Mo Chu's words were finished, Qiu Chan grabbed the topic, "Besides, you don't want to attack Yue Guo, right?"

Mo Chu nodded, "A lot of innocent people will die if Chu fights Yue or Yue fights Chu, and I don't want the war to make countless people lose their homes." ”

Nangong Qing listened to his words and sighed deeply. "Chu'er, I know you are kind-hearted, but in this troubled world, if you don't beat me, I will beat you. Even if you don't take command to attack the Yue Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom will attack my Chu State sooner or later. If you were a general, you might be able to die fewer innocent people. It's too late to say this, but let's think about how to find someone to recommend to the king. ”

"Who do I don't know, who can I recommend?" Mo Chu replied gloomily.

"You don't have to worry too much, although there is a shortage of generals in the Chu State now, we will definitely think of a way. Nangong Qing comforted.

"If we can't recommend a qualified replacement within ten days, the junior brother is not dead. Zhen Cheng frowned and said.

"Don't worry, let me think about it. Although Nangong Qing was at a loss, he still tried his best to calm everyone down.

"Those who have led soldiers are not as high as their junior and younger brothers' martial arts, and those with high martial arts have never fought in battle, and besides, there are few people in this world who are higher than their junior and younger brothers' martial arts. Zhen Cheng continued to analyze.

Mo Chu saw that everyone was anxious for him, and he was very upset. "Thank you for your concern, it was I who rejected the King of Chu first, and I recognized what the King of Chu did to me. ”

Qiu Chan smiled slightly, "Childe doesn't need to worry, maybe things will take a turn for the better." ”

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Nangong Qing thought of many ways, but still couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Nangong Xin also secretly sent someone to send Mo Chu a list of lists. But none of these people could meet the requirements. When everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Mo Chu calmed down, no matter which dynasty it was in, it was not what I liked; now that the king of Chu won't let me go, then kill me, I can at least enjoy the last three days."

On the evening of the eighth day, the autumn cicada rushed back from outside, and she gave Mo Chu a piece of information. The information records everything about Gongsun Qi in detail.

The three generations of the Gongsun family are famous generals of the Chu State, and when they reached their father's generation, they led the troops to the battle, and later died in defeat, after the news came, Gongsun Qi and his mother disappeared out of thin air, and the Gongsun family also declined.

After Gongsun Qinai became a famous general, he was strong in martial arts, and no one was more suitable to be the general of Chu than him. Mo Chu saw the hope of life, he was so happy that he almost jumped up, but in front of Qiu Cicada, he still needed to be reserved, and he kept himself calm.

Mo Chu was happy, and his face slowly sank, "Where did you get the information?"

"I found it myself. Autumn Cicada replied calmly.

"My master is Zuo Sima, and there are many channels, and it is impossible for him to have Gongsun Qi's information. Mo Chu's voice instantly became cold.

"I told you before that the Qiu family is still a little famous in the rivers and lakes. Qiu Cicada smiled.

"The Qiu family can't have that much ability. Ouyang Xue gave it to you. Mo Chu's eyes were like torches, staring at her and asking.

"I don't know anything Ouyang Xue, this is indeed the information I found. The cicada is still smiling.

"Don't pretend anymore, I suspected you of being Ouyang Xue's person from the beginning. ”

Mo Chu's face turned pale, and he continued, "The Dragon Gang is also famous in the rivers and lakes, they will never kill people and set fire because of money, and the four heroes of Jiangnan will not bully a weak woman. You're doing this so that I can take you in. ”

"If you know I'm lying to you, why do you want to take me in?"

"Ouyang Xue wants to know my information, I also want to know her, it's better for her to come to me than for me to go to her. If you're by my side, I'll be the first to hear from her. ”

"You're really smart. Now that you've seen through it, what do you want to do with me. Qiu Cicada asked calmly.

"Why are you helping me?" Mo Chu did not answer her question.

"Because the princess doesn't want you to die, besides, Gongsun Qi became the general of the Chu State, which is also good for the Yue Kingdom. At least he doesn't kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

"How can you be sure that Gongsun Qi is willing to be the general of the Chu State, and even if Gongsun Qi is the general of the Chu State, why do you say that he will not kill innocents indiscriminately?"

"Gongsun Qi's father was defeated and died, which brought shame on the Gongsun family, and Gongsun Qi will definitely correct his father's name and revive the Gongsun family. Gongsun Qi, you all know him, you should know what kind of person he is. ”

"It seems that you know Gongsun Qi very well. ”

"Yes, the princess knows him well, and it is good for everyone to do so. ”

Mo Chu had nothing to say, because this was indeed the best result, not only helping himself, but also helping Gongsun Qi, and indirectly helping Ouyang Xue.

"Childe, the princess is sincere to you, although you have hurt her repeatedly, but she has always remembered you. I'm not here to get any information, but to help the princess take care of you, and please don't let her down her kindness. Qiu Cicada's words came from the bottom of his heart.

"If you have any different intentions, you can't stay with me. ”

Mo Chu paused and asked, "You've been following Ouyang Xue?"

"Yes. Autumn Cicada said.

"Ouyang Xue is a woman, why do you have to stir up bloody rain on the rivers and lakes?" Mo Chu asked puzzled.

"The princess was the illegitimate daughter of King Yue, and was later recruited into the palace along with her mother, because of their low status, life was not easy. In order to let herself and her mother have a place in the royal family, the princess worked hard and wanted to use her own ability to consolidate her and her mother's position. Autumn Cicada replied.

"No wonder she will stop at nothing to achieve her ends. Mo Chu began to sympathize with Ouyang Xue.

"Childe, don't blame the princess, it's really not easy for her. Qiu Cicada excused his master.

Mo Chu sighed deeply.

The king of Chu was very happy to get the information of Gongsun Qi. He immediately summoned Mo Chu and Nangong Qing.

"Aiqing, you can always surprise me. The three generations of the Gongsun family have been generals and have made great contributions to the Chu State. Although his father was defeated and killed, he was also iron-clad, and now he can come back to serve the country, it will be a blessing for the Chu State. ”

King Chu paused and continued: "I invited you here this time to tell you something important. ”

"Speak, Your Majesty. Nangong Qing was respectful.

"Nangong Aiqing should know about the Tiger Talisman, right?" asked King Chu.

"Is it the tiger talisman for the king to mobilize the army?" Nangong Qing asked rhetorically.

"That's right. The former general proposed to return to his hometown because of old age and infirmity, and the king allowed him, but on the way back to the court, he was assassinated, and the tiger charm disappeared. The King of Chu frowned when he said this.

"The master around the general is like a cloud, who has the ability to kill him, and also snatched the tiger talisman. Nangong Qing could hardly believe his ears.

"This king thinks the same thing, but it has already happened. The most worrying thing now is that the villains who snatched the Tiger Talisman will wait for an opportunity to mobilize their troops in an attempt to rebel. The King of Chu was full of sorrow.

"The king's intention is to let Chu'er lead the army, not to give the gangsters a chance to make trouble, and once the gangsters appear, capture them on the spot. Nangong Qing asked tentatively.

"That's right, this king originally thought so, but he was rejected by this kid. The king of Chu smiled bitterly, until now he still doesn't understand that there are people who regard fame and fortune as dung.

"Your Majesty, in fact, Gongsun Qi is more qualified for the position of general than Caomin. As for the Tiger Talisman, the grass people are willing to go and get it back. Mo Chu said.

"Really, you really want to do things for this king?"

"It is a blessing for the grass people to be able to serve the king. Mo Chu replied that the last time he rejected King Chu, everyone blamed him, and Nangong Xin was also very unhappy.

Although he doesn't have much nostalgia for this world, he doesn't want to die, and if he wants to live, he can't offend the King of Chu, and this time he can make up for his recklessness last time.

"You really think so, are you really willing to help this king find the tiger talisman?" the king of Chu then asked.

"Yes, I will share the sorrow of the king. Mo Chu said.

"Okay, this king now appoints you as the minister of the Qin Mission, and is specifically responsible for finding the tiger talisman. This jade pendant is carried by the king, seeing the jade pendant is like seeing the king, you have the power of life and death, and at the same time can mobilize troops from all over the world. ”

Mo Chu hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Thank you for your grace!"

"Chu Aiqing, the safety of the Chu State is entrusted to you, and you immediately set out to investigate this matter. The King of Chu commanded in a deep voice.

"The minister must do his best to live up to the king's trust. Mo Chu thanked him.

"Father's important matter, how can I be missing. Nangong happily broke in and said loudly.

"As soon as you came back, didn't you spend much time with your queen mother?" King Chu pretended to be unhappy.

"Father, we should focus on the big picture. Nangong Xin said coquettishly.

"Well, it's really a big girl. After King Chu finished speaking, he laughed, and Nangong Qing also laughed.
