The knife edge was fiercely aimed at Qin Xuan's neck, and he swung down heavily......

Qin Xuan stared at the butcher's knife raised high, his eyes were wide open, and it was only at this moment that he was really convinced that he was going to die.

In this short moment, his eyes flashed in front of him like a marquee, and he muttered like a demon: "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this......"

Since he was a child, his father and mother have been very good to him.

My father always shook his head when he mentioned his eldest brother, often saying that he was more like him than his eldest brother, and his father also had high hopes for him, not only personally instructing him in martial arts, but also inviting a famous teacher to teach him.

In order not to disappoint his father, he worked so hard, the rooster crowed, and he usually had to rest in the middle of the night, so many years, he tried his best to become the second son of Nanyang Wangfu who was both civil and military.

He wanted to be the pride of his father, and he wanted his father to see that he was far better than his eldest brother.

He thought that he had a chance to replace his eldest brother and become the son, until the end of last year, when he heard his father mention his eldest brother, saying that he would let his eldest brother return to Nanyang at a discount.

At that moment, he seemed to have been poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and his whole body was cold.

It suddenly dawned on him that his father had never considered passing on the throne to him.

The eldest brother is the eldest son, and he is destined to be nobler than him by nature, no matter how good he is and how hard he works, it is useless, and the throne of King Nanyang will not belong to him!

It turned out that in the eyes of his father, there was always only Qin Yao's son.

He is unwilling, unwilling!

Even so, he didn't intend to attack his father.

However, his father found out about his collusion with Lin Guo.

His father beat him severely, and removed him from his military position, so that he never had to go to the barracks again.

He knelt down and confessed his mistake to his father, and he wept bitterly, but his father was indifferent.

The father said, "I am so disappointed in you! ”

This sentence stabbed him in the heart like a knife.

He knew that no matter how much he fought and grabbed in the future, it would be useless.

He will never have a chance to make a career again, let alone the throne, and he will not want to make any achievements in his career.

He can only kill his father!

And now, he is also ushering in his death!

For a moment, Qin Xuan seemed to see his father staring at him quietly in the distance, his eyes were like a dark vortex, as if he wanted to suck him in......

The knife rises and falls, and the soul is broken.

Qin Xuan didn't even have time to scream, and his head fell like a leather bow.

Red blood gushed out from the slash in his neck, staining the executioner's knife and face red.

It was quieter, as silent as death.

All the soldiers looked at this scene with different expressions and did not squint.

Some people have deep eyebrows, some people sigh in their hearts, some people can't bear to look directly, and more people feel that he deserves it.

In any case, Qin Xuan's death also means that the dust has settled on this matter.

Mu Rin, General Cheng and others were all relieved, Qin Xuan died, and his collusion with Lin Guo was over.

After a while, the square gradually became noisy again.

Qin Yao gave an order, and all the soldiers dispersed in twos and threes, and a junior general walked back to the central tent to report to Gu Jue: "Lord Wang, the second son of Qin has been executed." ”

Gu Jue didn't go to watch the punishment, for him, Qin Xuan was insignificant.

This is Qin Yao's business!

Gu Jue waved his hand casually, and the young general respectfully retreated.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Gu Jue took out a small porcelain bottle of blue and white porcelain from his sleeve pocket, and took a pill with warm tea.

Gu Jue casually played with the crescent-shaped sachet, and the bright blue lotus-colored material lined his fingers as white as jade.

This sachet was given to him by Chu Qianchen with the pill before leaving, saying that he wore it every day, calming his mind and helping him sleep peacefully.

Gu Jue lowered his eyes and looked at the orchid embroidered on the sachet, and a familiar fragrance wafted into his nose, like a snow-falling orchid.

He couldn't help but think of a bright face in his mind.

The palm-sized melon seed face, the bright phoenix eyes are raised at the corners of the eyes, and when he looks at himself, his eyebrows and eyes are always crooked, and his dark pupils are like the most brilliant jewels, shining brightly.

Cold as the moon, elegant and cunning.

I don't know what she's doing now......

Gu Jue smiled slightly, his handsome facial features had a little more soft color, warm and warm.

Time passed in silence, and the voices outside the tent seemed to come from near and far, as if they had come from another world.

After about an hour, the curtain of the tent was lifted again.

This time, the person who came in was Qin Yao.

The little guy pushed Qin Yao's wheelchair in, and Qin Yao's usual cynical face was a little dignified at the moment.

Gu Jue moved his eyebrows, and as soon as he held his right hand, the crescent sachet was put into the sleeve pocket in his sleeve, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Yao said in a deep voice: "Brother Jiu, I just got the military report, and there are five thousand people from the Lin Kingdom attacking the border. ”

After a pause, Qin Yao explained the ins and outs in an orderly manner.

Just now, they had already searched out some letters from Qin Xuan's study about his collaboration with the enemy Lin State, in which Qin Xuan promised to cede Xiyan County to Lin State.

Originally, Qin Xuan's plan took advantage of the fact that the king of Nanyang had just died, and the army's heart was undecided, and when Lin Guo's army attacked, he deliberately retreated, so that Lin Guo naturally won Xizhi County.

Saying that, Qin Yao's eyes became dark, "Now Lin Guo shouldn't know that Qin Xuan is dead...... Therefore, they committed the border according to the predetermined plan.

"According to the news, there are still 5,000 Lin troops in the rear who are rushing to the border, Brother Jiu, their ambitions this time are not small."

The people of the Lin Kingdom have always been ambitious, and they covet the Great Qi, and it is clear that with the number of troops they have sent, their ambitions must be more than that of Xipheasant.

The little guy spread a sheepskin map on the general's case.

Lin is also on this map, it is in the northwest of Daqi, it has only been more than 50 years since the founding of the country, and the land is only the size of two states of Daqi.

Gu Jue's slender fingers slowly pointed to a few places on the map, "The people of Lin Guoren want to go all the way east from Xiyan County, and plan to take Huajing County and Chenxi County in one fell swoop. ”

Qin Yao nodded, he also thought so, and said: "The five thousand troops of the Lin Kingdom have arrived at Shapheasant Mountain, and the army will travel three hundred miles a day, and in another day, it will arrive in Xiyan County." ”

The people of Lin are cunning and greedy, from the very beginning, they are not just for the sake of a mere pheasant county, Qin Xuan is seeking skin with the tiger!

The two exchanged a meaningful glance at each other.

Now the people of Lin don't know that Qin Xuan is dead, which is an advantage for Daqi.

They can completely push the boat down the river and take down the people of Lin in turn.

Gu Jue immediately decided: "I will immediately lead the troops to Xiyan County, and you stay here to sit in the rear." ”

Qin Yao touched his chin, on the one hand, he sympathized with Lin Guoren for meeting Gu Jue, and on the other hand, he was a little regretful, and said, "Big brother, why don't I go with you?" ”

Let him wait for news in Nanyang, it is inevitably too boring.

Gu Jue didn't speak, just smiled slightly.

Mo Shen directly gave him a cold look, and almost said, with your current ghost appearance with a broken leg, do you still want to fly?!

Qin Yao raised his hand and touched his nose, feeling that Mo Shen was too faceless to give him.

He actually knew that Gu Jue's arrangement was the most appropriate.

During this period, the Nanyang army has been in a state of leaderlessness, the bones of the father are not cold, and Qin Xuan has just been executed, and the army's heart is unstable. And he has not been in Nanyang for many years, to tell the truth, how many people in the Nanyang army are sincere without him?

And Lin Guoren was menacing, and there was no time for him to stabilize the morale of the army.

But Gu Jue is different!

"Brother Jiu, when are you going to leave?" Qin Yao asked, implying that he agreed to Gu Jue's proposal.

Gu Jue said: "An hour later." ”

So, an hour later, three thousand soldiers of the Nanyang Army in armor and the elite of the Northland Army brought by Gu Jue were on standby in the square, and the black pressure was overwhelming.

These soldiers are tall one by one, full of swords and guns, and their bright eyes are looking at the high platform in front of them, looking at Gu Jue and Qin Yao on the high platform.

Qin Xuan's body had already been cleaned up, but there seemed to be a faint smell of blood lingering in the air, reminding everyone of what had happened here before.

"See the prince!" All the soldiers knelt down on one knee at the same time, saluted with their fists in front of Qin Yao, and shouted in unison.

Thousands of people were lowered in unison, and the shouts were as neat as if they were coming from the same person, roaring like thunder.

Most of the people were immersed in the aftermath of the second son's murder of his father, and their hearts were still a little agitated.

In less than half a day, the camp has undergone earth-shaking changes, which seem to be short, but also seem to be very long, and too many have happened......

Finally, if you don't, the prince has finally been wronged!

Qin Yao, who was in a wheelchair, looked around at the soldiers below, raised his hand with a smile, and said loudly: "Everyone get up!" ”

"Thank you!"

The voices of the soldiers rang out again in unison, and they stood up.

Qin Yao looked around at the generals below, raised his voice and said: "Soldiers, my Qin family has been accompanied by Rong Ma since the ancestors, and followed Emperor Taizu to gallop across the field, so that there is Nanyang Palace, and there is now the Nanyang Army!" ”

"The people of the Lin Kingdom have always been ambitious for our Great Qi, and there are currently 5,000 Lin State cavalry raiding our northwest border, which is menacing. In order to ensure the safety of the people in the northwest, our Nanyang army has an unshirkable responsibility! ”

"Those who offend my northwest frontier will be punished!"

The purple-robed young man bathed in the sun was full of spirit, although he was in a wheelchair, he did not have a trace of sick temperament, but was so flamboyant, so arrogant, and so confident.

With Qin Yao's words, the soldiers below were infected, their hearts fluctuated, and their faces were full of righteous indignation.

"The people of Lin have entered our northwest territory, the situation is critical, and there is no time to delay, all soldiers and soldiers should listen to the orders of this son!" Qin Yao continued, holding his Son Token aloft in his hand.

The golden token, which represented the prince of Nanyang, sparkled in the sun.

"In!" All the soldiers responded in unison.

This shout was overwhelming, the shout shook the sky, and the whole camp was full of sharp and murderous spirit.

Mu Rin and other veterans looked at this scene, and they also sighed: in the past, when the son was in the capital, they also heard some rumors about the son, and they only thought that the son was a gentleman, but at this moment they realized that they looked down on this son.

The son of Qin Yao is clearly very like the ancestor of the Qin family.

Several veterans let out a long breath, their hearts were hearty, and they looked at Qin Yao with burning eyes. Although Nanyang has undergone great changes this time, as long as the prince is still there, as long as the prince can support Nanyang, then the Nanyang Mansion is bound to be reborn.

Although these 5,000 Lin troops are menacing, as long as their Nanyang army responds in time, they can not only expel the enemy army from the territory, but also take advantage of this to deter other small countries in the northwest, lest they think that the king of Nanyang is dead, and there will be no one in their northwest!

All the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Army present, whether it is veterans such as Mu Rin and General Cheng, or thousands of soldiers below, all think that the son of the world has not recovered from his leg injury now, and he is bound to only sit in the rear.

I didn't want to, but I heard Qin Yao then announce: "The army will set off immediately today, and His Royal Highness King Chen will personally lead the Nanyang Army to the battle!" ”

His Royal Highness King Chen personally led the Nanyang Army to the expedition?!

This made the air around him seem to shake slightly.

It wasn't until this moment that these ordinary soldiers standing below knew that the strange young man standing beside Qin Yao in front of him was actually the famous King of Chen, Gu Jue.

General Cheng and several other veterans couldn't believe their ears, the prince wanted to hand over part of the power of the Nanyang Army to King Chen, and the prince's heart was inevitably too big!

The veterans have different expressions, and some people think that the prince is so rash and inappropriate; Some people feel that King Chen is indeed a more suitable candidate than Mu Rin; Some people are still speculating about the relationship between the prince and King Chen......

In this strange atmosphere, there was a rumbling sound of footsteps from the rear, and the soldiers of the Beidi Army dressed in Xuanjia walked neatly towards this side, and soon stood still next to the Nanyang Army.

The thunder stopped.

The square was silent again.

Looking down from the high platform, half of the soldiers below were wearing red armor and half of them were wearing black armor, and the distinction was clear.

Looking at this well-trained Northland Army, those veterans couldn't help but think of a sentence in the military book: fast as the wind, Xu like a forest, invaded like fire, immobile as a mountain, difficult as a yin, and moving like thunder.

This is an army with strict military discipline and prohibitions, and it is also an elite who has come out of the sea of corpses and blood!

And they have already experienced the strength of this elite of the Northland Army, Mu Rin and the others couldn't help but sigh in their hearts in awe: It is worthy of the world-famous Northland Army.

There is no doubt that the Beidi Army and the Nanyang Army will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Under the deterrence of the Beidi Army, all the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Army were speechless.

The atmosphere was solemn, as if it was about to solidify.

Qin Yao and Gu Jue on the high platform above seemed to be unaware.

In the sun, both were laughing.

The former smiled proudly, and the latter smiled lightly.

The former has a beautiful appearance and a flamboyant temperament, like the scorching sun; The latter has a noble and graceful demeanor, and his demeanor is outstanding, like the moon and the wind is clear.

These two people have very different temperaments, but they have an inexplicable sense of harmony.

"See His Royal Highness King Chen, Chitose Chitose!"

A veteran was the first to kneel down on one knee, and then the other Nanyang soldiers also knelt on one knee again and shouted in unison.

Thousands of shouts overlapped into the sky, and then, with the sound of whimpering trumpets, the army set out of camp and mounted their horses.

In the gust of wind sand, two banners were flying, and after the thousands of cavalry left the camp in a vigorous manner, they swept all the way to the west, covering the sky, and the dust like mist flew all over the sky where the army passed.

Qin Yao on the high platform was in place for a long time, and the little guy didn't dare to urge, he knew that his prince wanted to go to the battlefield in person.

The little guy pondered whether he should comfort his master, and saw Qin Yao suddenly smile, his smile was as bright as a peach blossom, and he touched his chin and said, "Yuanbao, what kind of treasure did you say we were going to dig up from Lin Guo!" ”

"They dare to pluck the feathers of the tiger's mouth, why do they have to let them have a layer of blood, right?"

"I heard that although Lin Guo is located in a place where birds don't, the royal family has some private mines, and they are very rich, so they should be able to afford a lot of ransom, right?"

"......" Yuan Bao was silent, feeling that his own prince was too greedy for money.

He subconsciously looked left and right, and said in his heart: Fortunately, there is no one else here.

Qin Yao said that it was the wind and the rain, so he sent the ingots back to the Nanyang Mansion and found all the books about Lin Guo.

Yuan Bao took the order and took a few soldiers to Nanyang Palace, and when he came back, it was already dusk.

He didn't come back alone, he also brought another acquaintance from the capital.

The person who came was a handsome man in his early twenties, dressed in an inky blue robe, who had obviously arrived all the way to the scene with a meal and a sleeping style.

"Han Yuchu, why are you here?!" Qin Yao's eyes widened slightly, he didn't expect Han Yuchu to come from the capital.

Could it be that something happened in the capital?!

This was Qin Yao's first instinct.

Before he and Gu Jue left the capital, Gu Jue instructed that once there was anything in the palace, they could rush to the northwest to find them.

"Where's the prince?" When Han Yu first saw that Gu Jue was not in the tent, he was also casual, found a chair to sit down, and poured water for himself, and the whole person collapsed there, not sitting.

He was almost exhausted and thirsty along the way.

Looking at Han Yuchu's casual appearance, Qin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't seem to be a big deal, so he said, "Brother Jiu led the troops to the border......

He roughly explained the cause and effect.

Han Yuchu: "......"

At this time, Han Yuchu had already drunk the second cup of tea, and he almost didn't choke on the tea.

He wiped the corners of his mouth with his cuffs, a little confused, and asked in a rather subtle tone: "The prince just set off for the border?" ”

He was tired of at least three thousand-mile BMWs along the way, and he missed it so coincidentally?

Qin Yao nodded and said, "It's been almost three hours since we set off." ”

Qin Yao gestured to Yuanbao and motioned for Yuanbao to get him some food, and look at the child who has lost weight along the way.

In Qin Yao's loving eyes, Han Yuchu had goosebumps.

Han Yuchu hesitated between chasing and not chasing, and gave up.

The prince has been on his journey for three hours, even if he is chasing now, he will not be able to catch up for a while.

Han Yuchu silently brought himself another cup of tea, and at this time, Yuan Bao first served him two steaming buns, and said, "Captain Han, wait a minute, the guy is giving you the next floor." ”

Han Yuchu grabbed a meat bun and took a bite, the fragrant and soft taste made him almost cry.

Qin Yao asked, "Old Han, is there something wrong with the palace?" ”

The corners of Han Yuchu's eyes twitched, and he felt that he was ten years old. Thinking of where his behavior came from, his face couldn't help but be a little complicated, "There is something." ”

Qin Yao was even more curious, and asked again: "Old Han, you said, don't hang people's appetites!" ”

Han Yuchu was too lazy to worry about this unreliable prince of Nanyang, so he took a bite of the bun and said vaguely: "The emperor just gave the prince a marriage, saying that he wanted to give the prince joy." Cheng Linhua asked me to report to the prince and what to do when I see it. ”

Rao is Qin Yao realized that he had seen a lot of the world, and he was also stunned.

He hooked the corner of his lower lip mockingly, "The emperor's face is also too big." ”

Did the emperor think he could stuff a random woman for Gu Jue?!

Han Yuchu swallowed the food in his mouth, took another bun, and continued: "The object of marriage is the second girl of the Yongding Marquis Mansion......"

The last word became vague again, and he continued to bite his bun deliciously, and said in his heart: The chef in this Nanyang military camp has good skills, and only this meat bun is fragrant, soft, and juicy.

Should you really send the chefs from the Northland military camp here to learn the arts, or simply invite the cooks here to the Northlands?

Han Yuchu was eating steamed buns while thinking nonsense, not noticing that Qin Yao's jaw was about to fall in shock.

Qin Yao put down the teacup, a gossip heart burned in his chest, and asked eagerly, "What the hell is going on?" Tell me what happened. ”

Han Yuchu only thought that Qin Yao was curious, starting from the day when the emperor came to the military school, saying that he took people to run to King Chen's mansion, and then recruited Xuanjing Dao Chang to tell the fortune of King Chen, and calculated Chu Qianchen's eight characters are good, and he can give King Chen Chongxi, until the emperor gave the holy decree of Chongxi.

Qin Yao: "!! ”

Qin Yao couldn't interject at all when he heard it, and his mood was so complicated that it was difficult to describe in words: How long have they been away from Beijing, why have so many things happened!

He then asked, "How is Kyori doing now?" ”

Han Yuchu ate four steamed buns in a row, felt a little more comfortable in his stomach, and drank two more sips of tea before saying: "Cheng Linhua and Su Mubai managed to delay the wedding for a month, waiting for the prince to decide." ”

Qin Yao finally calmed down the shock in his heart a little at this moment, and asked curiously: "Then what did the second girl of Chu say?" ”

Even if others talk about him again, Qin Yao also knows that the marriage event is a lifelong event for the girl's family, and the marriage period is so delayed, it has no impact on the prince, but it is quite unfavorable to the girl's family.

A bowl of fragrant shredded chicken noodles with shiitake mushrooms has finally come up.

Han Yuchu couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, feeling that he could do it again.

He picked up a pinch of noodles and shredded chicken and said, "This is what Miss Chu meant." ”

"She said that the prince is not in Beijing now, and this matter cannot be leaked out, just drag it out for the time being."

Han Yuchu hula hula ate the shredded chicken noodles, and didn't ask Yuan Bao to fetch vinegar for him at all.

Qin Yao: "!! ”

Qin Yao showed a strange expression, although he had long known that this Second Miss Chu was not an ordinary person and walked an unusual path, but he was still surprised by her unexpected style.

Han Yuchu took the vinegar bottle that Yuan Bao brought him, then put down his chopsticks a little and asked, "Which route do they take, Lord Wang, when I am full, I will chase after me." ”

Qin Yao shook his head, "I don't know either. ”

What the?! Han Yuchu almost choked on the cold noodles in his mouth, raised his head, and looked at Qin Yao dumbfounded.

Qin Yao wasn't joking with Han Yuchu, he raised his hand and pointed to the map on the general's case, his fingertips stopped on a Gobi, and said, "Brother Jiu is walking on the Helan Gobi, where there is a wasteland Gobi that stretches for hundreds of miles. ”

"The Heran Gobi is intricate, and its terrain is suitable for ambushes and sneak attacks."

According to his and Gu Jue's plan, they planned to set up an ambush in the Helan Gobi and wait for an opportunity to raid the Lin people, so as to fight quickly and end this battle as soon as possible.

Qin Yao touched his chin thoughtfully, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

After the initial shock, he thought that the marriage was actually quite interesting.

When he was in the capital, he watched this little girl have a play with Brother Jiu!

Haha, there is a play.

However, the emperor is pumping his brain, right? How could he think of giving Chu Qianchen's girl to Brother Jiu?

Absolutely, it's just amazing!

Thinking about it, Qin Yao really couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly back to the capital to watch the play, and said cynically: "Oh, in my opinion, this is the destiny of heaven!" ”

"Anyway, Brother Jiu is not here, just admit this family business, Brother Jiu is also old, come out, and it's good to have a more sister-in-law when you go back."

"Old Han, did you say?"

Qin Yao's tone was a little joking, and he said half-truthfully.
