Bao Xi stood at the top of the city tower, looked at Ji Gongyan and smiled, and the bright red at the corner of his mouth pierced the white misty pickaxe capital. Less than a month later, the last to arrive was the army of Qi, and the two kingdoms of Qin and Jin did not come. Ji Gongyan threw off his sleeve robe and hurriedly walked towards the city tower, he might as well instruct Lu Zhang, who was following behind him, "Pass the widow's order, please go to the front hall immediately!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Zhang responded, and hurriedly went down from the city tower to the princes' mansions.

Win Kai got the order, holding his breath in his chest, he didn't expect Baili Cheng to have such a big courage not to send troops into Beijing, now the princes' soldiers and horses have arrived, only the nearest people and horses of Qin, Jin and Zheng have not arrived outside the pickaxe capital, Win Kai is in a hurry in the city, and wants to send a few letters to ask about the situation, but the pickaxe capital is surrounded like an iron wall, and the news can't come in or out. Win Kai hurriedly walked to the top of the main hall, wanting to find the shadow of Jin Bo, but he never saw Jin Boyou, as for Zheng Boyou, he had a calm and calm appearance on his face, and he guessed that Zheng Boyou must be working with Ji Gongyan to do something that he and others didn't know.

"Uncle Qin?" Ji Gongyan sat in his place and looked down on the princes below.

"Wechen is here!" Ying Kai said and took a step forward, stood outside the queue, bowed his head to Ji Gongyan's handrail and waited for Ji Gongyan's lecture, but Ji Gongyan didn't speak, staring at this Qin Bo, until Ying Kai's heart was empty, and he immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Wechen really doesn't know why Baili Cheng didn't bring troops into Beijing, this matter has nothing to do with Wechen, I'm afraid that Bai Licheng raised troops to seize power in the Qin State and disobeyed the holy will of the king!" ”

"How?" Ji Gongyan looked at Ying Kai and asked, "If Baili Cheng doesn't act through you, does he have the guts?" ”

"He has!" Ying Kai looked up at Ji Gongyan and said, "Baili Cheng is a self-reliant master, and he is my father's old department, and he has monopolized power in the court, and he has never put me, the sect master, in his eyes. On the same day, he led a large army to suppress the Shen country, and I sent a few letters to summon a general who could not return to mere mere generals, but the general was brave and good at fighting, and I did not care about this matter with him when I returned to Qin! If it weren't for my strong persecution, I am afraid that he would not be able to talk about the retreat of the army pressed on the border of Shen...... This general did not put my words in his ears at all......"

"Widow remember, you once seemed to say that if you return to the Qin State, you will definitely dispose of Bailicheng?" Ji Gong said predictively.

"When Weichen returned to Qin, he was attacked by the dog Rong, and I asked the king to know how to do it!" Ying Kai said, "If the king is willing to let Weichen leave this time, and return to the Qin State, I will definitely settle the old accounts with Baili Cheng, and he will not be allowed this time!" He gritted his teeth, he had been thinking about the common interests before, and Ying Kai did not get rid of Bai Licheng, but he didn't expect this general to step on the line and put him, the sect master, in his eyes at all, this matter made Ying Kai feel annoyed, and his chest was full of anger.

"Can a widow believe you?" Ji Gongyan looked at Ying Kai and asked.

"Erchen is willing to guarantee for Uncle Qin!" Bofu suddenly stood up and saluted to his father, both of them knew that there was no point in staying in the court to win in the current situation, and Bofu sold this face to win, in exchange for personal debts, it was a mistake, and Bofu was not considered to lose. Win Kai heard Bofu stand up and speak for himself, and he was moved in his heart, and continued to swear to Ji Gongyan to express his loyalty, "Weichen will definitely do his best to swear allegiance to the death!" ”

"Good! The widow will believe you. Ji Gongyan nodded slightly, took out a token from the table to enter and exit the city gate and threw it in front of Ying Kai, "Take this token and go out of the city!" ”

"King Xie!" Ying Kai held the token in his hand and said tremblingly.

"Let's go now!" Ji Gongyan frowned and said, "There is no point in keeping you here. ”

"Thank you, King!" Win Kai didn't dare to stay for a while, for fear that the king of Zhou would regret what he had just said, so he immediately went out of the palace and returned to the house to prepare to return to China. And in the front hall, Ji Gongyan dealt with the affairs of the Qin State, and continued to ask in a yin tone, "What about Jin Bo?" ”

No one answered.

"Where's Jin Bo?" Ji Gongyan sat up straight, looking down at everyone present, still no one answered, he slapped the table and asked loudly. "Where's Jin Boqi?"

"King Qiqi......" A doctor stood up, "Weichen and the others didn't see Jin Boqi, I'm afraid they ...... early in the morning" He said that he was a little frightened here, and said tremblingly, "I'm afraid that I have already fled!" ”

These words made Ji Gongyan frown slightly, he didn't expect Jin Bo Ji Qiu to escape? He took two deep breaths and forced himself to calm down above the court, "Uncle Zheng! ”

"Wechen is here!" Zheng Boyou stepped forward and responded when he heard the order.

"Let's go to the Jin Bo Mansion and have a look!" Ji Gong said.

"Yes!" Zheng Boyou immediately retreated from the front hall after receiving the order, everyone looked at Zheng Boyou's back and wanted to discuss, but no one dared to speak, they could see that Ji Gongyu was not in a very good mood at the moment, if he said something and did something wrong, he was afraid that this King of Zhou would suddenly become angry, the front hall was silent for half an hour, no one dared to speak, but the sweat of the princes in the cold winter fell from their cheeks, and several elderly princes kept wiping their sweat, They were all about to collapse under the pressure of this silent aura in this hall, and this catastrophe could be said to be nine deaths, and after this incident, everyone felt a sense of rebirth.

Half an hour later, Zheng Boyou came back from outside the house, "King Qiyu, Uncle Jin is no longer in the house, he should have escaped from the city!" ”

"Useless stuff!" Ji Gongyan scolded, pointing to the officials who were in charge of the blockade of the pickaxe capital, this matter was arranged by Lu Zhang and Zheng Boyou, and the two of them stepped forward at the same time and said, "Weichen deserves death, this matter is Weichen's negligence, and he actually released Jin Bo out of the city!" ”

Ji Gongyan's hands were clenched tightly, he stood up and looked down at the princes and said, "The widow reached an agreement with you on the day he ascended the throne, once the beacon tower ignited the wolf smoke, your army will come from all over the world, no matter what the reason. Now there are so many vassal states and so few countries that come, it's just a joke! ”

"The king's wrath!" Everyone said in unison.

"If the widow just lets go of those who didn't come, I'm afraid that the widow's order will not be able to mobilize any of your troops in the future!" Ji Gongyan glared at the people present and said, "Wen Shuo? ”

"Wechen is here!" Wen Shuo stepped forward and waved his hands.

"Pass the order of the widow, order 30,000 soldiers, and go to the Jin Kingdom!" Ji Gongyan said word by word, the killing aura in these words was daunting, and the princes present subconsciously said in unison, "The ministers are willing to help the king!" ”

"No need, go back with your own soldiers and horses!" Ji Gongyan waved his hand, "Wen Shuo alone is enough to deal with those useless soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom," he said and turned to Wen Shuo, "You will take the soldiers and horses to the Jin Kingdom tomorrow!" ”

"Obey the order!" Wen Shuo commanded.

The princes looked at each other, and no one expected that this matter would end with such a funny ending, as if Ji Gongyan had sent them not to attack Shen from the beginning, but to tease these princes, and by the way to see who was disloyal to him. Someone couldn't help but do this in his heart, and stepped forward to Ji Gongyan and said, "Right now, the king of Shen Kingdom is not going to go on an expedition?" ”

"Shen Guo fights ......" Ji Gongyan smashed the words in his mouth, and then continued, "Pass on the widow's order, as long as Yi Jiu is willing to return to the palace to confess his guilt to the widow, the widow will swear a heavy oath among the ministers today, the widow is not to blame Yi Jiu in the past, and he will stay in the palace to help the widow deal with government affairs in the future, and he will not be guilty of the mistakes of Empress Shen in the past!" ”

"King Mingjian!" The princes said in unison, but they didn't expect that blood was thicker than water, and the tiger poison did not eat children, and Ji Gongyan still couldn't do anything to his son. However, some people had their minds on this matter, and after Wei Bo left the city, he really felt a thrill of being reborn from the fire, and as long as he remembered that he had to wake up from a nightmare every night after three hellish months in the capital of Pickaxe, he led his army straight in the direction of Shen Guo.

And at this moment, Ying Kai rode his horse and galloped all the way back to the direction of Qin State, and stepped on the door of his mansion with a gloomy face, everyone saw that Ying Kai was back, and they were a little surprised, "Uncle Qin? ”

"Where is Baili Cheng?" Ying Kai asked impatiently.

"We didn't know that Uncle Qin would come back today, so we didn't prepare to greet us, and we asked Uncle Qin to forgive us!" The corporal in the house said, and Qin Bo asked again impatiently, "What about the adults of Baili?" ”

"In his house!" The corporal replied.

"Call me! Now ......" Ying Kai roared, so frightened that the corporal hurriedly rushed out of the Qin Mansion and rushed towards Baili Cheng's mansion, Bai Licheng listened to the corporal's relay, frowned slightly, knowing that Ying Kai was here to ask the master for guilt and settle accounts after the autumn, he straightened out his clothes, followed the corporal to the Qin Mansion, his demeanor was calm and calm, without the slightest fear, and when he saw Ying Kai, he just bowed down according to the usual etiquette and then congratulated Ying Kai on returning safely from the pickaxe capital, Ying Kai glared at Bai Licheng and asked, "The king burns the beacon fire, Why didn't you bring troops into Beijing? ”

"Now that the war with the dog Rong has just ended, Wei Chen is afraid that my army will leave the Qin State, and the dog Rong will take advantage of the situation to attack!" Bai Licheng said.

"Taking advantage of the situation?" Ying Kai sneered, no matter how much discord he had between him and Bai Licheng before, the play was at least in place, but now he didn't even bother to play this scene anymore, and tore the layer of window paper between the two.

"Yes!" Bai Licheng replied calmly, "Dog Rong has always coveted my Qin State, once my army goes to Ho Jing, Dog Rong will definitely come again!" ”

"Do you think I don't know?" Ying Kai glared at Baili Cheng viciously and asked, "Dog Rong was severely defeated by your army, and it is impossible to make a comeback in a short period of time, the king lit a beacon fire in Lishan to gather all the princes' soldiers and horses to prepare to attack Shen State, all the soldiers and horses have arrived, only my Qin State is absent, and my Qin State is the closest to Haojing!" He shouted at the top of his voice, Bai Licheng's face was still not the slightest moved, "Weichen got the news, the king has given up attacking the Shen Kingdom, and instead attacked the Jin Kingdom, the king's purpose at the beginning was to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, Jin Bo was not fooled, why should we be fooled?" ”

"Fooled?" Ying Kai sneered, "General Baili is only afraid that he thinks of himself as the sect master of the Qin State, right?" A general's position is no longer satisfying you? ”

"The Baili family has been loyal for generations, and Uncle Qin actually questioned me so much?" It wasn't until this moment that Bai Licheng felt that the whole thing was not quite right.

"Loyal?" Win Kai snorted coldly, "The military order is like a mountain, when the king ascended the throne, he agreed with the princes that once the beacon tower wolf smoke rises, the princes' soldiers and horses must gather in the pickaxe capital to rescue, but now you don't do anything, almost let me lose my life in the pickaxe capital, if it weren't for the prince's insistence on protecting me, what you see today is my corpse." What should you do if you disobey military orders? ”

Hearing this, Bai Licheng's face turned pale for a while, he didn't expect that Ying Kai really dared to point the butcher knife at himself, he shouldn't have called Ying Kai to be the vanguard of attacking the dog Rong that day, but I was afraid that this young Qin Bo showed his talent and talent in combat, and now he can be so unscrupulous, Bai Licheng's hands were slightly clasped together, "If I take the soldiers and horses to Haojing, but the king of Zhou sends someone to ambush from behind, my Qin soldiers will be negligent in guarding against it, and the troops will not be able to transfer troops, if the dog Rong uses this to attack my Qin State, it will definitely kill us by surprise, What's more, if the king really needs to send troops to attack Shen Guo, he will not give up this plan because of the absence of you and me, and so easily turn the spearhead to Jin Guo, that is, he didn't plan to attack Shen Guo from the beginning, this is just a pretense and an excuse! ”

"Yes!" Ying Kai felt very disgusted by this preachy tone, as if Baili Cheng had seen through this matter after the whole day, "General Baili is right, what the king wants is a justifiable reason to attack the Qin State, and you ......" He pointed to Bai Licheng's chest and said word by word, "I gave him this reason, the person who put the Qin State in danger is not me, but you!" Tell me the order to go down......" he said, taking a step back and turning to the side, "Anyone who disobeys the orders of the army or does not obey my orders will be killed!" As soon as he said the last three words, Bai Licheng felt that his feet were soft, and his brows furrowed, he didn't expect that this young sect master would really dare to target him, "You want to kill me?" ”

"It's the reason you gave me!" Ying Kai said with a smile, "Before you die, I want you to understand a truth," he said and slowly pulled the sword out of the scabbard on his body, the blade rubbed against the scabbard with a crisp sound, his gloomy eyes were like a vulture looking down on a dying prey, and said with a bloody smile, "If you can't be above others, don't let people know that you have the heart to be overpowering, even if you act, you must act respectfully, sincerely, and obediently...... Otherwise, how can you protect your home, country, and world behind you? As he spoke, he put the blade against Bai Licheng's neck, and Bai Licheng glanced at the sharp long sword, "I actually assisted a sect master who has murderous intent against me......"

"No," Ying Kai said, "if you want to take advantage of others, you can't blame others for being merciless to you!" You just see me as a puppet playing with the regime, but it's a pity ......" he sighed, "You are looking at the wrong person, if I kill you today, even if someone in the army does not accept the leave for time, I can also be the heart of the army, but if you kill me today, the whole Qin State will rise up and attack it, and the King of Zhou and the crown prince will definitely wash the Qin State for me...... You confess your sins today, and I can still protect your Baili family from generation to generation! ”

Bai Licheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly knelt in front of Ying Kai, "Minister, the sin deserves death!" ”

A blood light gushed out, Ying Kai's sword had been sheathed, everyone present was shocked to say nothing, watching the burly and tall Bai Li Cheng fall to the ground suddenly, before he died, looking at Ying Kai's eyes were full of disbelief, Ying Kai turned around, and ordered the people behind him without looking back, "General Baili is buried thickly, Baili Cheng's officials have been inherited from generation to generation, and those who are willing to serve my Qin State are not to blame in the past, if they have two hearts, they will be beheaded." ”

"Yes!" The people behind Win Kai were a little weak in response, and dragged Bailicheng's corpse out, which caused the whole country of Qin to be in an uproar, no one thought that Win Kai would kill Baili Cheng so decisively, and what made Qin's Manchu Dynasty civil and military even more unexpected was that Win Kai almost snatched Bailicheng's military power between lightning and flint, and then eliminated the dissidents in the DPRK and China, and quickly traveled to the hegemony, controlling the trend of Qin's power, and the ruthlessness of the means and the decisiveness of handling things made people not see at all that this was just a man who had not yet reached the age of the weak crown.

……

To the south, the geographical location of the Shen State can also be regarded as the natural danger of the Great Zhou, the Zhou Dynasty with such a geographical advantage, several dynasties and generations are auxiliary ministers, ranking among the top ministers, but when it came to Ji Gongyan, he did not buy the battle of this Shen Hou at all, and forced him out of the court and forced him back to the fiefdom. However, Ji Gongyan was also polite to Shenhou, thinking about the relationship between himself and him, and did not raise any objections to Shenhou, who had never been to the court for many years, and now there was news from the pickaxe capital, saying that as long as Yijiu went back to confess his mistake to Ji Gongyan, he would be able to avoid the past and pardon Shenguo for such a crime.

"Your father is a wise man!" Shen Hou sat opposite Yi Jiu and said, although he tried to render a disdainful tone in his tone, but in fact he was very dignified, "Now that he has promised you to go back to the court and bow your head and admit your mistakes, he will not blame the past, and it is unreasonable for you to stay in my Shen country!" ”

"I'm not going back!" Yi Jiu said stubbornly, "He only has that slut in his eyes, and that slut is what he says, and now he has abolished me and set up that slut's child as the prince and the prince, how can I go back to my place to stand, and I won't be able to die by their mother and son!" ”

"Only when you go back can you have a chance to bring them down, otherwise Bofu will always be the prince of the king's family, and Bao Xi will always be the queen of the king's main palace, and you and your mother will have no chance at all!" Shenhou patted Yijiu's shoulder and said, "Those who have achieved great things must be able to endure it!" ”

"I'm ......" Yi Jiu paused, not knowing what to say to refute his grandfather, but in his heart he really didn't want to go back, just when the two of them were in a stalemate, suddenly someone came to report that Wei Bo came to the door to ask to see Shen Hou and Yi Jiu, Shen Hou frowned slightly, "Wei Bo? How did he come! ”

"I said that I had something important to tell Shenhou and the prince!" The servant replied.

"Call him in!" Shen Hou nodded slightly, and put aside the topic of Yi Jiu for the time being, waiting for this old friend who had not seen him for many years, Wei Bo entered the door of this room and immediately rushed in the direction of Shen Hou, and suddenly his face was full of tears, he fell to the ground, crying bitterly, and called Shen Hou's name a few times but never said the following, which made Shen Hou feel anxious, and supported this friend who was not young, "What happened?" ”

"It's messed up, it's messed up...... It's chaos in the middle of the court! Weber said in a trembling and frightened voice.

"Messed up?" Shenhou asked puzzled.

"The king lit the beacon fire, and it was the Shen State that raised troops in the pickaxe capital to prepare for the crusade!" Wei Bo said to Shen Hou tremblingly, grabbing his arm, as if he had experienced what kind of shocking catastrophe, Shen Hou's expression was obviously much calmer, "I already know about this matter, and I am planning to return to the palace with Yi Jiu, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the contradiction between their father and son will become deeper and deeper!" ”

"Can't go back! I can't go back...... Wei Bo shook his head vigorously, "Do you think the king will really be blamed in the past?" Bah......" he spat out, "I came to Shenguo to remind you that you must not fall for them, the king is now mediocre, and he listens to the demon girl in everything, and the king asks the king to drive out all the women in the harem, and the king drives them out; Bao Xi said that he wanted to see the beacon tower lit, so the king asked Yu Shifu to say that he could light the beacon tower...... On that day, Bao Xi was forced out of the palace because Bao Xi wanted to kill Shenhou, and the matter was arrested by the people in the harem, and Bao Xi escaped from the palace knowing that it was difficult to escape, but who knew that the king didn't mind this matter at all, and put Shen Hou and the little girl under house arrest in the palace! Empress Shen knew that the king was going to attack Shen, so she asked the little girl to send a letter for her to inform Shen Hou in advance, but the little girl ...... before she walked out of the palace gate.

"What happened to Mrs. Wei?" Shen Hou only felt that his scalp was numb when he heard these accusations from Wei Bo, and his whole body froze a little, and he took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions.

"Killed the little girl......" Wei Boshen frowned, "He also cut off the meat on the little girl's body piece by piece, and invited me to the East Palace to taste the shabu shabu, I ate half of it before they told me about it......" He was about to make a vomiting expression, as if he had really given birth to half of this matter, this was like a heavy blow, and Yi Jiu on the side jumped up and said, "I want to kill that demon and rescue my mother from the palace!" ”

"Please think again, prince!" Wei Bo pulled the excited Yijiu, "I can endure it until now that they killed my daughter, in order to save this life, and use your and my strength to fight against Da Zhou alone, I am afraid that it will hit the stone with an egg, and this matter has to be discussed in the long run!" ”

"I knew he was a tyrant for a long time, but I didn't expect to be so mediocre that he was so manipulated by a woman!" Shen Hou slammed his fist on the table, "If you continue to let him mess around like this in his position, the whole world will be implicated because of this...... No, it must not be! ”

"What is the best way for Shenhou?" Weber asked tentatively.

Shenhou looked at Wei Bo and squinted his eyes and shook his head, after what happened to Chu Hou, he couldn't trust anyone anymore, so what he said was, "I'm afraid that this matter has to be considered in the long run, and there will never be any way to bring him down in a moment, I have to think about it, I have to think about it...... Thank you Uncle Wei for coming thousands of miles to tell me the truth, Uncle Wei will go back to Wei first, and inform his family of Mrs. Wei's misfortune, right? ”

"I can't watch the prince jump into the fire pit!" Wei Bo said bitterly, exchanged a few words with Shenhou and then retreated first, stayed in Shenguo for a few days, and saw that Shenhou really didn't seem to move before returning home from Shenguo. After Wei Bo left, Shenhou wrote a letter in the study, sending his cronies to the general Manye of the dog Rong, the dog Rong repeatedly wanted to use the Qin State to attack the Great Zhou, this is really stupid, not to mention that the Qin soldiers are brave and good at fighting, just crossing the Qin Mountains, and then fighting against the Qin soldiers all the way, and by the time they reach the Great Zhou, they must be exhausted, and Ji Gongyan is afraid that he can expel this barbarian without effort.

If you can avoid Qin, attack the Great Zhou from the Shen State, and take the pickaxe capital, you will definitely kill Ji Gongyan by surprise, and now all the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou are concentrated in the Jin State to fight against the Jin Bo, Zheng State attacked from the north to the south, and the Great Zhou attacked from the south to the north, and the Qin State handed over power, and now it is the time to win and straighten out the relations between the two countries, and the whip of the Qi State is beyond reach...... It was a good time to attack the Great Zhou, and Ji Gongyan had neither reinforcements nor could he withdraw his troops and horses from the Jin Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Shenhou gritted his teeth and was ruthless, it was they who fought and guarded the world for the Great Zhou that day, and now it was they who wanted to send the Great Zhou to the end of their fate......

A few months later, the palace of the king of Zhou was twelve years old, spring.

The war in the north of Jin frequently came to Jaguar, Jin Bo Ji Qiu repeatedly sent a letter to Ji Gong Yan asking for a truce, but was rejected by Ji Gong Yan, in the eyes of others, Ji Gong Yan's move was because Ji Qiu Fu his will, and his anger was hard to dissipate, and now this catastrophe is for his own face. What's more, the princes didn't know when they quietly arrived in the north of Jin, and this attack started from north to south, which made people feel thorned in their backs, and no one dared to stand up and say a word for Ji Qiu. This matter seems to be Ji Gongyan to save face, in fact, Ji Gongyan's purpose is to seize the Jin Kingdom, he has regretted appointing Cheng Shi to seize power, this matter made Cheng Shi also feel uneasy, now Ji Gong Yan's ambition is more and more obvious in this melee, he has to join forces with Ji Qiu's brothers, first fight against the coalition of Zheng Guo and Da Zhou, and then arrange another matter.

Therefore, although this battle said that the coalition forces of Zheng Guo and Da Zhou occupied an absolute advantage, it was still very uncomfortable to fight in the end, like the feeling of a sand in a shoe, although it was a frequent success, but it could not immediately end the war, and the original hearty one-sided situation, because of this or that, was always a little sticky, which made people feel very unhappy.

Every time Ji Gongyan heard this Jaguar, his face darkened, and he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with the king?" ”

"Nothing!" Ji Gongyan, who was stunned, suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head at Bao Xi.

"You look a little nervous, is things not going well?" Bao Xi asked.

"No......" Ji Gongyan shook his head, "It's so smooth that it makes me feel a little strange." ”

"It went too well?" Bao Xi asked.

"Hmm......" Ji Gongyu nodded and pulled Bao Xi into his arms, "If it was in the past, the princes would have jumped out to speak for the Jin Kingdom, but now there is no one to speak for him and ask for peace, this is too strange!" ”

"Ying Kai has just secured Uncle Qin's position, a hundred miles into a death, the army of Qin is not suitable to move, the power is not stable, he has no time to take care of other people's affairs; Zheng Guo is at war with the Jin State, and he is leading the troops to drive straight in, and the momentum is like a bamboo; The State of Qi did not dare to disobey the will of the king, and there was no need to wade into this troubled water on the coast of the East China Sea, as for the State of Song and the State of Wei, they did not have the ability to take care of this idle matter at all, and the State of Chu would stand by and watch, and no prince had the position to mediate between the State of Jin and the King at the moment! Bao Xi comforted, although her heart was also shrouded in a kind of uneasiness, but she still tried to say some good things to comfort Ji Gongyan's heart.

"If they can really know what role and identity they are, what they have, what they have to do with them, and what they should take care of, they will not be today's princes!" Ji Gongyan laughed helplessly and patted Bao Xi's back, "Maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much, let's go down and rest first?" ”

"Hmm!" Bao Xi nodded, lifted her skirt and stood up from the ground, just about to leave the hall, she heard someone rush into the main hall of the East Palace in a hurry, and she didn't even care about the rules and etiquette, it must have been something big, she put down her skirt again, turned around and looked at the corporal who entered the door in a hurry, the corporal said loudly, "Report!" ”

"What?" Ji Gongyan frowned slightly, his face was dark, and he also faintly felt a trace of unease.

"The dog Rong has invaded my Great Zhou, breaking through the defense from the southern territory, and is looting towards my pickaxe capital!" The corporal said, "The troops in the south are insufficient, General Zhao is lost, and before he dies, he sent someone to report the news to the capital, please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

"When's the thing!" Ji Gongyan immediately became extremely nervous, his voice was a little tight, he spoke quickly, and his face was pale.

"Just got the news!" The corporal reported.

"Ask Zheng Boyou, Father Yushi, Lu Zhang, and Uncle Xi to come to the East Palace!" Ji Gongyan quickly ordered, the corporal received the order and immediately retreated from the house, Bao Xi's lips were pursed and stared at Ji Gongyan He didn't know what to say for a while, Ji Gongyan's brows were deeply furrowed, obviously in thought, the silent and depressed people in this room were speechless, and the uncle who was on the side just now heard this matter and immediately rushed to the East Palace Hall, "Father? What's going on? ”

"Inu Rong has invaded the Great Zhou, and he will arrive in Hojing in a few days!" Bao Xi relayed.

"What?" Bofu said incredulously, "Why did Inurong attack Hokyo City?" There is no news from the Qin State at all! ”

"Apart from the Qin State, there is still a way to go!" Ji Gongyan's hand clenched into a fist, originally thinking that he could forgive Yijiu for his ignorant behavior in the past by telling the world that he was broad-minded, but his wishful thinking forgot to estimate whether Yijiu himself was willing to be forgiven, and now that the father and son have torn their faces, they simply went into battle to fight and overthrow the regime of Da Zhou, "Shenhou...... Yi U ......" he said and nodded, trying to make a sneer, but the corners of his mouth with a stiff expression were already involved.

Bofu looked at Bao Xi, Bao Xi shook his head, and signaled Bofu not to speak and asked Ji Gongyu to think more about how to deal with it, and soon Zheng Boyou and others had already gathered in the East Palace Palace, and they were all taken aback when they heard the news, no one thought that Yi Jiu would be so resolute, and he did not hesitate to lead the soldiers of the dog Rong into Beijing and attack his father.

"What is the king going to do?" Lu Zhang asked.

"Any good ideas?" Ji Gongyu asked rhetorically.

"Withdraw the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom!" Zheng Boyou said.

"It's too late!" Ji Gongyan said, "It will take at least a month to come and go back this time, and it will only take half a month at most for the Dog Rong Division to attack the pickaxe capital!" ”

"What about Qin Bing?" Father Yu asked.

"Yingkai has not straightened out the rights of his own country, whether he is willing to lead troops to the expedition is afraid that it will take some time, and he may not be able to arrive in time to rescue!" Himenomiya also vetoed the idea.

"That means it's even more impossible to transfer the soldiers and horses of the other princes?" Uncle Xi also said.

Ji Gongyan nodded helplessly, no wonder the princes were silent about their attack on the Jin Kingdom, it seemed that they had already known about it, and they left the king alone to suddenly realize when the dog Rong attacked his feet.

"The king might as well leave the city first, transfer back the Wenshuo soldiers and horses in the Jin Kingdom, and inform the princes of the world to fight the enemy together?" Lu Zhang suggested, "The king might as well make another beacon fire and ask the princes to rescue!" ”

Ji Gongyan thought for a long time and nodded, "You can arrange this matter!" ”

"Yes!" When Lu Zhang got the order, he immediately retreated from the main hall of the East Palace.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in the pickaxe capital?" Ji Gongyu continued to ask.

"Less than five thousand, although it is not enough to fight against the dogs, but it can withstand some time!" Zheng Boyou said, "The minister is willing to personally lead the troops to resist the army of the dogs!" ”

"Good!" Ji Gongyan nodded, "You and the widow soldiers are divided into two ways, each with one, you will arrange this matter?" ”

"The king must not!" Zheng Boyou immediately shook his head, "If it is...... If it is ......" he didn't even say two yes words, but Ji Gongyu had already understood what he meant, "If so, leave with the praise queen and the uncle!" The two of them must not be harmed in any way! ”

"This ......" Zheng Boyou's brows furrowed tightly, not knowing how to answer.

Uncle Xi's face was gloomy, this matter was more auspicious, he knew that he shouldn't say something discouraged at this time, so he didn't say anything, just waited for Ji Gongyan's arrangement.

"Father, if I don't leave, I will stay and fight the enemy!" Bofu said.

"Let's go!" Ji Gongyan scolded, "Dog Rong is able to attack my pickaxe capital, and it can't take away my Great Zhou Jiangshan, as soon as reinforcements arrive in the future, I will have a monarch in Great Zhou......" When he said this, he already regarded himself as a dead man, which made Bao Xi feel a trace of despair from the bottom of his heart, "Does that kind of country still mean to me and to Bofu?" No one will support Libofu, this battle is suitable for the mortar, what does he want, doesn't the king know? She stood up and looked at Ji Gongyan and said, "Since the soldiers are now in the city, we will fight to the death until the last moment, although we are short of soldiers and horses, but in the end there are still 5,000, in case...... Won? ”

Ji Gongyan felt that his throat was dry and painful, and he shook his head when he looked at Bao Xi, a military strategist would not easily give himself a particularly optimistic estimate, but a man wanted to make a promise to his woman, he took her hand and nodded, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Less than half a month, the dog Rong arrived outside the pickaxe capital, this degree is faster than Ji Gongyan predicted, over the years even after the defeat of the war called Manye and others have lost the last patience, along the way non-stop rush to the pickaxe capital, five thousand soldiers divided into two roads, resisted the dog Rong for more than half a month, but in the end the two fists are difficult to defeat the four hands, the dog Rong soldiers and horses, so that Ji Gongyan and Zheng Boyou led the people into the enemy army when they were like mud cows into the sea, half a month later, the dog Rong was killed and wounded, but Ji Gongyan and Zheng Boyou almost no more soldiers and horses in their hands.

"King, you must go! The princes will be able to arrive in the capital of Ho in half a month at most, you only need to hide for half a month to keep the Great Zhou ......" Zheng Boyou rode his horse and galloped to Ji Gongyan's side and said, Ji Gongyu turned his face and looked at Zheng Boyou for a while, he knew that what he said was right, if he gambled on this breath at this moment, it would really be worth the loss, "Go back to the palace!" ”

"Yes!" Zheng Boyou responded and gave a signal to retreat, and Father Yushi, Bofu, Uncle Xi and others immediately rushed to the palace after receiving the order to retreat, and the dog Rong also immediately surrounded the palace, so that they could enter and not get out. Before Ji Gong Yan reached the East Palace, he shouted Bao Xi's name, and Bao Xi ran out of the East Palace and looked at Ji Gong Yan, knowing that he had reached the end of the road.

"Pack your things, we need to leave!" Ji Gong said.

"Yes!" Bao Xi had already asked Rong Qian to clean up everything.

"Now that the palace is besieged by dogs, how can you leave?" Uncle Xi asked puzzled.

"There is a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace in the Huachen Palace, and it is not far from Lishan Mountain, and escaping into the mountain can at least save some time!" Ji Gong said.

"I'll cut it off!" Uncle Xi said, "You go! ”

"Let's go together!" Ji Gongyu scolded.

"King, now is not the time to be a hero, if I resist them for a while, you and the prince will have more vitality!" Uncle Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and said, and Lu Zhang also immediately said, "I will stay in the palace with you to resist the attack of the dog Rong......"

Ji Gongyan wanted to say something more, but Zheng Boyou immediately said, "King, you can't hesitate now!" ”

"Let's go!" Ji Gongyan gritted his teeth, pulled Bao Xi in the direction of Huachen Palace, pulled up the door of the secret passage and ran towards the outside of the palace, day and night towards the direction of Lishan, less than a day later Dog Rong broke through the last line of defense of Lu Zhang and Uncle Xi, under the leadership of Yi Jiu, this secret passage in the Huachen Hall appeared, and immediately followed, Ji Gongyan ran all the way, the teacher of the dog Rong behind him chased after him, and the long-cherished wish for many years seemed to have to be understood in this night. Knowing that there was no escape, he said, "The king continues to hide in the mountains, and I resist the pursuers all the way!" ”

"You're alone?" Ji Gongyu asked.

"It is a moment to be able to delay!" Father Yu Shi said, "Yu has been glorious for half a lifetime, and the king will not give up, and now it's time to repay the king's kindness!" Leave the rest to Uncle Zheng? ”

"Don't worry!" Zheng Boyou nodded, urging Ji Gongyu to continue hiding in the mountains.

Father Yu's line of defense was quickly broken, and the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Zheng Boyou glanced at Ji Gongyan, his brows furrowed deeply, and he felt that he was in a catastrophe, "The king will go first, and I will break it here!" ”

"Let's go separately!" Ji Gongyan looked at Zheng Boyou and said, "You bring the praise, I will take Rong Qian and Bofu, and we will divide into two ways!" ”

"Why?" Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and asked puzzled.

"Let's go!" Ji Gongyan didn't explain, only said this sentence, everyone knows that the purpose of the dog Rong is Ji Gongyan, if he takes his son and woman, others will definitely think that this family of three has been captured, Bao Xi kept shaking his head, "I don't go, I will die with you!" As soon as her words fell, Ji Gongyan knocked out the Bao Xi in her arms and handed her soft body to Zheng Boyou, "I handed her over to you, you must protect her!" ”

"If the king is dead, what is the point of leaving the latter alone in this world?" Zheng Boyou asked.

"The meaning of being alive is to be alive to know!" Ji Gongyu looked at Zheng Boyou and said.

"Uncle Zheng, please make sure my mother lives well for me and my father!" Bofu also admonished.

"If you don't leave, it's too late," Ji Gongyan pushed Zheng Boyou, Zheng Boyou knew that Bao Xi who woke up would definitely be extremely resentful of himself, but he also wanted to spare her life, no one knows what it is like to be alive, because no one knows what it will be like to die? Ji Gongyan took Bofu and Rong Qian and walked towards a big road, and there were a few accompanying soldiers around him, who could resist the last moment, while Zheng Boyou and Bao Xi hid in the deep forest, motionless.

A week later, the Qin soldiers arrived in the capital city.

Half a month later, the Great Zhou soldiers and horses retreated and arrived in the capital of Ho.

A month later, Qi Bo and Chu Hou arrived in the capital of Ho.

The restless pickaxe capital city returned to tranquility again, although the princes were dissatisfied with Yijiu's father-killing behavior, but now there is only this one prince left, and they blame the Shenhou for the blame, and assist Yijiu to ascend the throne. Yi U was disturbed by the atrocities of Inu-Rong, Ji Gong died in Lishan, and he buried his father and the king, and his heart was full of guilt, this pickaxe capital was a disaster for him.

In the first year of King Zhou Ping, the capital was moved to Luoyi.

Autumn goes to spring, and at the beginning of the year, Zheng Boyou took Bao Xi to live in a small town on the border of Zhengguo. When Bao Xi woke up from a coma, Ji Gongyan had already died at the hands of the dog Rong, and people said that Bofu and Bao Xi were not spared, but only Bao Xi herself knew that the person who died was Rong Qian, she didn't cry or make trouble when she heard the news, so many years have passed, she has never cried or laughed, and she has not blamed Zheng Boyou for taking her away to separate her from Ji Gongyan's life and death.

Life in the border area is quiet, the sun rises and the sun sets, Bao Xi rarely speaks, just weaving at home, Zheng Boyou farming, in exchange for some meager money and food every year to make a living, unless necessary, Bao Xi will not say anything to Zheng Boyou, if she really has no grudges at all, how can it be?

Before Ji Gongyan died, he once said to Zheng Boyou, "The meaning of life can only be known when you are alive." Zheng Boyou doesn't know if what he said is right or not? But these words can often be used to talk about masturbation when they are confused. Before the start of this year's spring ploughing, Zheng Boyou stood by the tree outside the door, stood on tiptoe and hung a yellow ribbon on the high branch. ”

Hearing Bao Xi's voice, Zheng Boyou was shocked, and turned to Bao Xi to show a smiling face, "I pray that people from afar are safe." I don't know why, I always feel that maybe the matter is not over yet, he has been calculating all his life, how could he let himself die so embarrassed. ”

Bao Xi didn't speak, ready to turn around and go back to the house, Ji Gongyan's embarrassment started from the day he fell in love with her, he had someone in his heart, and he was no longer so free and easy, his chess was played for her, his game was set up for her, but she couldn't repay it, she couldn't even swear to die, and it was not as good as a subordinate.

But she didn't ask for death, because he wanted him to live, no matter how difficult it was to live, how much he missed it, because he wanted her to do it, and she survived, even if she woke up in nightmares for countless nights, even if she was alone and couldn't sleep, and her heart ached.

Suddenly there was the sound of iron hooves on the street, and the peaceful border town became lively, and people rushed to tell each other that it was the prince of Zheng Guo who was coming, and everyone poured into the street to watch, and there was a lot of noise. Bao Xi stopped outside the door, turned his head to look into the distance, Zheng Guo's prince was high-headed, hurriedly running on the road, Qi fell into occupation, Beidi's division made a comeback, Zheng Guo's son led the troops to rescue, Bao Xi looked at the figure from afar, and now it was so familiar, she had seen such a stubborn child go home sweaty in the East Palace in countless sunsets.

Maybe it's really not over yet.
