In Xiliang City, you can still see some people who have left the country, or who have left abroad to marry a daughter, but you can't see it in Shangyangguan, basically they are all Daxing people.

Compared with Xiliangcheng, the people of Shangyangguan are more literate, not as strong as Xiliangcheng.

Knowing that Chen Qian was coming, the people of the entire Shangyang City were boiling, they were worried that the war would spread to their homes, and they desperately hoped that there would be someone who could stabilize the situation.

King Gong, who had suffered a defeat, lost a few laps, and the whole person had been in a state of not sleeping well for a long time, the corners of her eyes were blue, and when she learned of Chen Qian's arrival, her face, which had not smiled for several months, pulled out a faint smile.

"When will Lord Chen arrive?" She asked Wei Jue.

"An hour later." Wei Jue replied.

King Gong got up, took off his sword and went out, "Let's go, go meet Lord Chen." ”

Wei Jue hurriedly followed, "Lord Wang, what is Lord Chen doing when he leaves the country at this time?" ”

"Peace." King Gong said that before Chen Qian arrived and left the country, she received a letter from the imperial court, and Emperor Chengtian ordered her to protect Chen Qian, but Chen Qian did not enter Shangyang City, nor did he send someone over to let her send troops to protect him.

"Are you willing to leave the country?" Wei Jue is not optimistic, the current situation is beneficial to leaving the country, if he is the king of leaving, he will definitely not talk about peace.

King Gong didn't answer, she didn't know what Chen Qian would do, if there was no enough temptation, it would be impossible to leave the country to negotiate peace.

The guards brought the horses, and the two of them took a team of people out of Shangyang City.

It didn't take long for Chen Qian's carriage to appear in sight, and the number of his accompanying guards was very small, only four Imperial Forest Army, two Chen family dead soldiers, and two first-class masters of Fallen Leaf Villa, there were no maids and little maids, these two roles were played by Yu Yuan.

King Gong turned over and dismounted and saluted: "Xiao Wang is polite, I have seen Lord Chen." ”

Chen Qian didn't get out of the carriage, and he didn't even lift the curtain, Yu Yuan poked his head out of the carriage and arched his hand: "The villain has seen His Royal Highness King Gong, the prince, the lord is unwell, the wind is strong here, it is not suitable to show up, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”

King Gong's face changed instantly when he heard this, Chen Qian is a very polite person, but if he has the slightest strength, even if he doesn't show up, he can speak, but this time there is no voice, so it can only mean that he has fainted.

"Quick, go back to the city!" King Gong immediately turned over and got on his horse, turned his horse's head, and led Yuyuan into the city, and there were many people on the streets of Shangyang City who came to greet him when they heard the news, and they were looking forward to seeing Chen Qian, so they stretched their necks, but they didn't see it.

King Gong didn't dare to delay for a moment, and the soldiers opened the way, and soon returned to the mansion where she now lived, which was the annex of the prefect of Shangyang City, which was more exquisite.

After the carriage entered the annex, Yu Yuan jumped out of the carriage and immediately ordered the Imperial Forest Army, "Quickly carry the lord down." ”

"Wei Jue, go and ask for a military doctor." King Gong said to Wei Jue.

"Lord Wang, no need, the villain is the doctor, the adult said before he fainted, don't spread the news that he fainted." Yu Yuan watched as the Imperial Forest Army lifted Chen Qian down, and then he carefully covered him with a blanket.

King Gong stepped forward to take a look, and found that Chen Qian's face was pale and haggard, and his whole person was lifeless, "How did you do this?" ”

"The adults laughed and scattered, they were in a coma for too long, and their bodies were a little unbearable when they woke up, and if they recuperated with peace of mind, they could recover in a year or two, but the adults were busy dealing with various government affairs as soon as they woke up, and they traveled thousands of miles to leave the country to talk about peace, and they were overthinking, and they had a head attack, and they fainted halfway."

While speaking, King Gong had led Chen Qian to arrange him in a quiet courtyard, and after Chen Qian was placed on the bed, Yu Yuan immediately opened the medicine box and pricked him with a needle, "Fetch warm water." ”

Wei Jue went to fetch warm water in person, he was fast, almost after Yuyuan prepared the medicine, he came back.

Yu Yuan's medicine was made into pills, which needed to be cut with water and then fed to Chen Qian to drink.

"Will the adults be able to hold on?" King Gong was extremely worried, she had been dealing with leaving the country all these years, rarely returned to Beijing, and saw Chen Qian less often.

Yu Yuan sighed after feeding the medicine, and said not optimistically: "If the adults are at ease and recuperate, no one disturbs them, they don't work on state affairs, and they have fewer head attacks, they may be able to live for another twenty years, but if the adults continue to work for state affairs like this, the villain will not dare to guarantee it." ”

"You're Yu Yuan?" Although King Gong was not in the capital, he also knew that it was a divine doctor named Yuyuan who had detoxified Chen Qian.

Yu Yuan nodded, "It's the villain." ”

"Doctor Yu, you don't have to call yourself a villain in front of this king, if you save Lord Chen, you will be the hero of Daxing." King Gong immediately stood in awe.

Yu Yuan is still a little uncomfortable, in his impression, King Gong is also a well-known figure, if it weren't for King Gong's rebellion, his reputation would not be as loud as King Gong.

"Lord Chen is a hero, and the villain should save him, but he has done his duty as a doctor, and he doesn't dare to claim to be a hero, the prince, the lord is afraid that he will not be able to hold on, there are a few words and a book to give to the prince, and please ask the prince to retreat." Yu Yuan took out a box from the medicine box, the box was wrapped in cloth, and carefully hidden in the innermost part.

When King Gong heard this, he immediately said, "Everyone, go down." ”

Wei Jue, as King Gong's first lieutenant, was the most loyal, and he had to order him to take people down immediately, including the guards who protected Chen Qian, and they all left the house one after another.

After only the unconscious Chen Qian, King Gong and Yu Yuan were left in the room, Yu Yuan opened the cloth and revealed the box inside, Yu Yuan took out the key from his arms, opened the lock of the box, opened the lid, and a book appeared in front of King Gong's eyes.

The book is new and does not have a title, but it has a seal of Chen Qian.

"Lord, Lord Chen's words to the villain are - this book is a bargaining chip for leaving the country and returning to the city and signing a ten-year peace treaty, and I hope that the prince will keep it properly, if he can't wake up, please ask the prince to go to Xiliang City to sign a peace treaty with the country in person."

"This book to leave the country, not more than three years away from the country, will be unprecedentedly strong, Wanwang court attention, when writing this book, there is no time to write about the response to the country, if he can't wake up, please don't kill the king of the court, only the king of the emperor can compete with the emperor, in order to ensure the peace of Daxing for a hundred years, but ...... My lord, please be sure to protect the ten thousand families. ”

King Gong's face was solemn, staring at the book in Yu Yuan's hand, she was not a little afraid to take it, the book seemed to be light and thin, but in fact it weighed as much as ten thousand catties.

"Lord Wang, Lord Chen said that this book must be given to leave the country in order to ensure peace for a while." Yu Yuan added.

King Gong understands that what now decides Daxing's life and death is to leave the country, as long as he leaves the country and does not send troops, Daxing will have time to solve internal problems, and after solving internal problems, he can free up his hands to deal with Liguo.

In fact, for Chen Qian, King Yu is no different from Emperor Chengtian being the emperor, he doesn't need to spend time writing this book, but King Yu Gong and Emperor Chengtian are different, King Yu and Emperor Chengtian are different, King Yu is powerful, they have to die.

The reason why Chen Qian had to spend his time writing this book was not for King Gong, nor for Emperor Chengtian, he was for Wan Chaoyun, King Gong killed Wen Tingjun, and it was destined that Wan Chaoyun would not be able to reconcile with him, so for the sake of Wan Chaoyun, King Yu must fail.

King Gong gritted his teeth, took the book in his hand, and bowed deeply to Chen Qian, who was lying down, "Xiao Wang, thank you Lord Chen." ”

"Lord Wang, please prepare as soon as possible to talk about peace tomorrow, the villain will try his best to make Lord Chen wake up before talking about peace."

Rushing day and night, never resting, hurrying slowly, from leaving the country to Shangyang City, it also took two days, tomorrow to talk about peace, but also to get up early in the morning, can barely arrive.

"Thank you, this king will go and prepare first." King Gong put the book in his arms and walked out of the house with a heavy heart.

"Wei Jue, immediately prepare to talk about peace tomorrow." King Gong ordered, she left her courtyard, closed the door, and couldn't wait to open Chen Qian's book.

The book is thin, with more than 20 pages, and it can be seen from the text that this book was written by Chen Qian himself, and he was physically exhausted when he wrote it, but his words have always been elegant and dusty, but he has not lost his unique style.

King Gong slowly opened it and looked at it carefully.

The slanting sun came from the window, just fell on the table, covering the purple clay pot used to cook tea, the golden light, gradually retracted, when King Gong saw the fifth page, the slanting sun could no longer cover the purple clay pot, and the tea was also cold.

When I saw the tenth page, night fell, Wei Jue crept in, lit the lamp, and then went out and stood outside the door, guarding.

When the thin booklet reached the last page, King Gong raised her eyes and saw that it was pitch black outside the window, only the lone lamp on the table was still on, and the light jumped in the wind, which made her a little stunned.

"Someone." She raised her voice.

Wei Jue, who was guarding, immediately came in, "Lord Wang, the last will be there." ”

"Are you awake?" King Gong asked.

Wei Jue shook his head, "No, Doctor Yu said that it may take two more days, and the general is ready to talk about peace tomorrow, please rest assured." ”

"Sharpen the ink." She sighed softly, spread out the paperweight, and picked up her pen to transcribe the contents of the booklet.

After transcribing for a while, she suddenly stopped her movements and raised her eyes to look at Wei Jue, "You say, if you don't divide the troops to the south, will this king be defeated?" ”

Wei Jue almost didn't think about it, and immediately shook his head, "No, the prince is like a god with soldiers, and he will not be defeated." ”

"How many battles has the King of Servants fought to win more with less?" She asked, as if casually.

Wei Jue was stunned for a moment, he didn't know that Chen Qian said that only King Yu could compete with Emperor Li, "Four times." ”

"Since ancient times, less to win more has always been passed down as a myth, why?" King Gong continued to transcribe and continued with gossip.

"Because it's less, it's talked about." Wei Jue answered.

"That's right, because it is few, it is regarded as a legend, but it has appeared four times in King Yu, what does it mean?"

"I don't know." Wei Jue lowered his head, not daring to answer, having said this, he naturally understood why King Gong wanted to talk to him about this matter.

King Gong chuckled, "This king, not as good as him." ”

——

The capital, Wanfu.

Wan Chaoyun was lying on a rattan chair in Wang'an Tower, covered with a fox blanket, and slept very unsteadily.

She, dreaming again.

It was gray in front of her, she couldn't see anything, she couldn't hear, she walked and walked, and she didn't know why she was leaving, so she kept walking, and after walking for a long, long time, finally a tree appeared in front of her, and it was a peach tree, and the peach tree was full of fruit.

The fruit is large and round, like a peach.

She reached out to pick one, and suddenly everything was gone.

"Xiao Chaoyun."

It seemed that someone was calling her in her ear, it was Chen Qian's voice, "Sir, sir!" ”

She responded excitedly, the whole person sat up, the dream dispersed, and there was a rustling rain outside the window in her ears, where was his voice.

"Girl, you're having a nightmare." Liu Mei brought a cup of tea and said, "Take a sip of tea and suppress the shock." ”

Wan Chaoyun shook her head, she couldn't drink anything now, lifted the blanket, she got up and walked to the window, looked down, the peach blossoms downstairs in Wang'an were blooming beautifully, but the spring rain rustled, and many petals were dropped.

"Flowers float and water flow artesianly, now the flowers are gone, but the person who can accompany me to see the flowers is not there, go get a jar, forget it, flowers always have to be thanked, why be hypocritical? Is it a real sister? ”

She wanted to put the fallen flowers into a jar and do something, but she thought that no matter what she did, it would be better to fall into the mud.

"There's something going on in the villa, she went to deal with it, and the girl wants to find Miss Song?" Liu Mei is not often sad for her master, she is always optimistic and happy, and she is not used to self-pity for flowers like she is now.

Wan Chaoyun felt a little cold, took the fox blanket and draped it on his body, turned around and went downstairs, "Is there any news from Mr.?" ”

"Nope." Liu Mei said, she is telling the truth, there is indeed no news of Chen Qian recently.

"How so?" Wan Chaoyun frowned, "He must have had an accident, otherwise there would be no news." ”

"Girl, there is a fish doctor by your side, it should be fine." Liu Mei hurriedly went to get the cloak, replaced the fox blanket on Wan Chaoyun's body, and tied it for her again, before the master and servant continued to go downstairs.

went downstairs, Wan Chaoyun rushed directly to Song Shizhen's small study that dealt with the affairs of the villa on weekdays, and as soon as he got closer, he heard Song Shizhen say: "Lu Zhennan is also a character, why did he die so easily?" If only he hadn't died. ”

"It stands to reason that he shouldn't have been hit, but he just hit the trick, as soon as he died, Daxing lost a general, hey, his subordinates look, this time it's hanging, the owner, why don't you let the owner quickly take his family back to Tianmu Mountain? Although the prince will personally go to the front line to boost morale, I don't think it's useful, he is a little older. Mingtong is not optimistic about Lin Jianshen's role.

"You forgot? King Yu has an enmity with us, even if he goes back to Tianmu Mountain, it is not safe. Song Shizhen shook his head, "It's a pity that the defense around him is too strict, and he is vigilant, so he can't assassinate him, otherwise if he kills, there will be nothing." ”

"Hey, the 150,000 sailors and the 200,000 Chu army under Lu Zhennan's command have collapsed, and the enemy army has no losses."

"Is it fate?" Wan Chaoyun stood at the door and didn't go in, she didn't know that Lu Nanzhen was dead on the first day, but to this day, she still felt terrified.

In his previous life, Lu Zhennan was killed by a traitor and died a nest.

In this life, he was completely defeated, lost the last natural line of defense of Daxing, and died a disgraceful death.

Is it fate?

Can't you change it no matter how hard you try?

"Where's the fourth brother?" She asked softly.

"Girl, the prince is going to boost morale, accompanied by the fourth prince, and he is still in the palace." Liu Mei said.

Wan Chaoyun turned around, ran out of Changxi Courtyard with a swoop, braved the rain, and met Wan Chaoying to greet her, but he didn't care.

Ran out of Wanfu in one breath, stood in front of the mansion, raised his head and let the rain hit his face, "Liu Mei, prepare the car." ”

She needed to be sober at the moment, and she couldn't be more sober until the cold rain hit her face.

Liu Mei, who followed, didn't dare to ask more, she was so anxious that she cried, and immediately went to prepare the carriage when she heard the words.

Soon, the carriage came out of the door, and Wan Chaoyun got into the carriage without saying a word, and ordered: "Go to the East Palace." ”

"Girl, can we go in like this? Do you want to let the master or uncle take us in? Liu Mei worried.

"The fourth brother is in the East Palace, Wan Jin must be waiting outside, he has a way to contact the fourth brother, the fourth brother can take me in, my father and uncle talk a lot, and I have to interrogate for a long time, trouble."
