For the arrogance of the Qin soldiers, Bofu was still a little concerned at first, this gap from the prince to the ordinary commoner made the young prince feel embarrassed and unacceptable, but when he showed the essence of bullying the weak and fearing the hard in human nature, he felt that if he was concerned about this kind of thing, he just waved his hand to the Qin soldier who came to apologize, "You are also forced by the situation, Qin can have soldiers such as you and other single-minded soldiers, no wonder it is said that Qin soldiers are strong and invincible in the world!" He laughed heartily twice, jumped down from the carriage, and said to Bai Licheng, "This time, I came to Qin State to seek refuge in Uncle Qin, and I don't know if Uncle Qin doesn't dislike me?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to come to my Qin State, it is the creation of my Qin State, how can Uncle Qin have a reason to turn you away, I will lead the way in front, and His Royal Highness will go to the Qin Mansion with me?" Baili Cheng turned his horse's head in the direction of Qin Mansion, Bofu turned his head and glanced at Bao Xi, Bao Xi nodded slightly, Bo Fu looked at Bai Licheng and said, "Please also ask General Baili to lead the way!" ”

Baili Cheng rode a high-headed horse in front of the voice, and the group slowly went in the direction of the Qin Mansion. Win Kai learned that Bai Licheng arrived in the Qin capital today, and he had already prepared to meet Bai Licheng in the mansion, and when he heard that the Qin soldiers had arrived outside the mansion, Win Kai personally went out of the mansion to meet the general, but when he saw Bai Licheng, he was taken aback, and shouted in shock, "Praise the queen...... Your Highness? ”

"Uncle Qin!" Bo obedient jumped down from his flatbed carriage, "I have been chasing you all the way, and I have been left behind by you so many ......" he said with a smile, "As soon as I entered the city, I met General Baili who rushed back from the border of Qin, it seems that the form of Qinguo is indeed critical!" ”

"I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me, Weichen thought that His Royal Highness was going to the north of Jin, so he hurried all the way back to Qindu to deal with the war with the dog Rong!" Win Kai said, he didn't dare to say that he was chased and intercepted by Ji Gongyan, for fear that Bofu would know that he had betrayed him, but if he didn't say it, this Uncle Qin's heart was also panicked, he wasn't sure if Ji Gongyan had caught up with Bofu, so now he had to Bofu not say it, so he didn't ask.

"Originally," Bofu nodded, "But the queen mother said that she didn't want to go to the north of Jin, and she wanted to come to the Qin country, so I took my mother with me!" My queen mother used to come from the land of Qin, but now that the vicissitudes of life, I am afraid that the queen mother will not be able to go back to the land, and the two of us are lonely, so we can only take refuge in Uncle Qin, and I don't know what Uncle Qin wants? ”

"If Your Highness wants to live in Qin Country for a long time, it is a great honor for Weichen, and His Highness will not dislike it!" Win Kai said.

"What do I have to dislike to have a tile to cover my body?" Bofu smiled, "You still have to discuss the war, the state affairs are important, you talk first, and then come to settle my mother." ”

"It's okay," Ying Kai hurriedly waved his hand, and then called the people in his house, settled Bao Xi and Bofu, and asked politely, "I want to discuss with General Baili about dealing with the dog Rong, if Your Highness is not tired of the journey, you might as well move to my study to discuss this matter?" When this sentence came out, Ying Kai actually just wanted to be polite, but who knew that Bofu would take it seriously, turned around and looked at Rong Qian to explain a few words, Rong Qian nodded, "Your Highness, please rest assured, the slave will take care of the queen!" ”

Bofu bowed slightly, and turned to win, "In that case, I'll listen to it and see if there is a way to break the dog!" ”

Ying Kai's face was embarrassed for a moment, and then he nodded stubbornly and walked towards the house. Bao Xi gave Bofu a color, Bofu nodded in greeting, indicating that he knew the proportion, on the way to Bao Xi said to Bofu that this battle must not be called Qin Guo and Dog Rong to make peace, but I am afraid that after the peace will be a threat to the Great Zhou, Bofu knows his position very well, and entered this study and waited aside, like a quiet transparent person.

"General Baili, what is the current situation in Shen Kingdom?" Ying Kai asked.

"After the Shen State joined forces with the Chu State, they wantonly annexed the surrounding small countries, but I am afraid that the Qin soldiers who are pressing on the Shen State will not dare to evacuate easily!" Bai Licheng said, "The Dog Rong is attacking, and the troops that were originally used to resist the Dog Rong are now stationed at the junction of the Shen State and my Qin State, and this matter is only very passive!" ”

Ying Kai's brows tightened, and his hands were clenched into fists, "It seems that the ambitions of this Shen State and the Chu State are not small, and General Baili transferred this soldier and horse to Shen Guo that day to prevent this matter?" As he spoke, he cast his casual gaze towards Bofu, who was looking left and right, looking up and down, as if he hadn't paid attention to the conversation between the two at all, and had been supporting the gravity of his entire body with his legs, standing obliquely, completely like a ruffian, and he didn't have any opinions or opinions on the whole thing, and even the expression on his face didn't even move.

"Exactly!" Bai Licheng also glanced at Bofu and responded, I don't know what happened, I just want to ask to win open at this moment, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate, "Weichen received a secret report that day, the king abolished Yijiu and re-established the prince, and he was worried that because of the close relationship between Uncle Qin and the prince, the Shen State would be unfavorable to my Qin State, so he transferred heavy troops to the border of Shen State to prevent changes, but I didn't know that this matter was misunderstood by the king!" ”

"But I've got a couple of letters for you!" Ying Kai slapped the table as he spoke, his irritability was simply a scene for Bofu to see, and the only spectator present was not in the mood to watch this scene at all, he still had an expression of indifference, and let Bai Licheng and Ying Kai say something.

"Please also ask Uncle Qin to surrender!" Baili Cheng half-knelt on the ground and said, "I'm worried that if I leave the heavy army garrison rashly, I'm afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble, and there is no more general in the court, so I have to make this decision......" He said and made an expression of looking at death as if he were at home, but Ying Kai just waved his hand lightly, "Forget it, I also know that General Baili is helpless in this matter, but at the moment, if the heavy troops cannot be withdrawn from the border of Shen, how to resist the dog Rong?" How many centaurs does General Baili need at least? ”

"Weichen has a suggestion, I don't know if I should say it?" Bai Licheng asked.

"Say!" Ying Kai nodded slightly.

"Dog Rong sent troops, nothing more than looking at the current Qin State is on defense, thinking that attacking Qin State will have an opportunity, if Qin Bo is willing to send an envoy to the land of Dog Rong to discuss with the Rong Lord, I have reinforcements from the Zhou Dynasty after Qin, this battle costs the people and loses money, and the gains outweigh the losses, it is better for the Dog Rong to retreat, and we don't have to face the battle?" Baili Cheng said, this matter is with the original Bofu thought of it, but Qin Bo didn't dare to make a decision for a while, that day Ji Gongyan caught up with himself and said those words were still in his ears, the excuse he used to escape from the pickaxe capital that day was that he was going to defend against the enemy, but now he made peace with the dog Rong, how Ji Gongyan would free up a hand to deal with himself It's not easy to say, he groaned a little embarrassed, and turned his gaze to Bofu again, "I don't know what Your Highness thinks about this matter?" ”

"I don't dare to make any judgments rashly about the affairs of your Qin State, I'm afraid that it will cause you chaos, or if you discuss it with General Baili, I'd better go out to see how the queen mother has settled?" I'm afraid that the queen mother will leave the pickaxe capital and be uncomfortable with the environment of Qindu......" Bofu said with a really indifferent look, and then asked Ying Kai to resign.

Win away from Bofu, who was inconvenient to stop the door and go out, just exchanged a look with Bailicheng, and hurriedly got up from his position and walked in the direction of Bofu, "I'll also take a look at what happened after the compliment, right?" ”

"No need!" Bofu looked at Ying Kai and said, "The battle with the dog Rong is imminent, and Uncle Qin still discusses this matter with General Baili!" The queen mother and I are just living here for a while, and sooner or later my father will come back to pick up my mother and return to the palace, and we are really inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of the Qin State! After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed Ying Kai in place, he turned around and walked out of the house, Bai Li Cheng and Ying Kai who stayed in the room looked at each other, Bai Li Cheng didn't know much about this young prince, so he didn't care much, but Ying Kai was worried because of this, walked back in front of Bai Li Cheng and said, "General Bai Li, don't hide it, I was caught up by the king when I fled from the pickaxe capital!" ”

"Will he let you back?" Bai Licheng's hands were immediately clenched together, the green tendons on his temples burst out, and his chest rose and fell violently, Shenhou sent someone to persuade Bai Licheng to use Ji Gongyan to kill Qin Shizi's father, so he had a lot of dissatisfaction with this King of Zhou, and then became more and more slack about the king's life.

"At that time, I escorted the prince out of the city, and then parted ways, the king caught up with me and forced me to exchange the whereabouts of the prince for my freedom to leave Beijing, I told the king the whereabouts of the prince and the queen, the king said that this battle must be won, otherwise the future Da Zhou may intervene!" Win Kai said truthfully to Bai Li Cheng that there was never any gap between him and Bai Li Cheng because of those few letters that Bai Li Cheng could not return to the pickaxe capital, it was nothing more than a reasonable scene for Bofu, who knew that this spectator not only watched this scene, but also made them suspicious and confused about the situation.

"According to Uncle Qin's words, the king should have caught up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Bai Licheng asked.

"Not only that, but there is something that General Baili may not know!" Ying Kai continued, "What General Baili said about peace just now, I was irritable in the palace about the war of the Qin State, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who suggested that I make peace with the dog Rong, but when General Baili mentioned this matter just now, he didn't say a word, I was afraid that there was something strange in it!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only seven years old, so he can have such an opinion?" Bai Licheng felt a little incredulous.

"Yes!" Ying Kai nodded, "You have little contact with the prince, and you don't know him yet, and this time you went out of the city because His Royal Highness the prince killed Mrs. Chu, but this plan was punctured by the king, so you had to leave the palace to protect yourself and the queen!" But if it weren't for the king, I'm afraid that there aren't too many people in the world who can pierce the prince's scheme......" Saying that, he told Bai Licheng how Bofu designed to frame Mrs. Chu, and when the words fell, Bai Licheng felt that the whole thing was very surprised, "At the age of seven, it is really commendable to have such ability." If the king catches up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and does not bring them back, this is a bit unreasonable! ”

"My people are still asking how the king told the hundred officials about this, and now they should be on their way back to report the news!" Ying Kai nodded slightly, "Originally, the crown prince and the queen were going to go to northern Jin to join Zheng Boyou, after all, Zheng Botong's affection for the queen was known to everyone in the palace, and the king knew that it was impossible for the two of them to go to northern Jin, and there must have been something after stopping the uncle, so His Royal Highness the prince would turn his direction and come to join my Qin country." When we met just now, Bofu didn't say a word about how King Zhou caught up with him, and he didn't ask me why King Zhou knew his whereabouts...... I'm just afraid that the King of Zhou and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have reached an agreement, what ulterior motives are there for coming to the Qin State this time, if this is the case, then the matter will be troublesome! ”

"So...... According to Qin Bo's view, what should we do now? Bai Licheng asked.

"We must tell the prince to say something, whether to fight or to make peace must be left to him to decide, we have a way to fight, and we also have a way to make peace, but we must not bear the responsibility of betraying Da Zhou!" Ying Kai analyzed, "Even if you turn your back, you should also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stand on the opposite side of his father, and he has nothing to do with me, a prince!" ”

"What if you turn your back?" Baili Cheng asked angrily, "I am afraid that your father's death that day also has a great relationship with the king!" He is unkind first, and his immorality is the last, so what if my Qin State stands up and is the enemy of the Great Zhou? ”

"I, the Qin State, must not be an enemy of the Great Zhou right now!" Win Kai scolded, "If you are an enemy of the Great Zhou, there are Chu ambitions in the south, Dog Rong in the west, and the threat of the Great Zhou in the east, I am afraid that I will be attacked on three sides, how can I protect my Western Qin?" ”

"That's why it's all the more important to make peace and form an alliance with the dog Rong now, so that we don't have to worry about the deterrence of the Great Zhou! The state of Chu in the south now has anti-Zhou intentions, why should Qin Bo worry about this? Bai Licheng said to Ying Kai with hatred for Ji Gongyan, but Ying Kai shook his head, "No! If I don't find out what happened between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Zhou, I will never make a decision! When this decision is made, it will affect the foundation of my Western Qin Dynasty for thousands of generations, so how can I bear the heavy responsibility left to me by my ancestors in such a rash manner? After he said that, he walked out of the study, leaving Baili Cheng alone, Bai Licheng frowned, knowing that what Qin Bo said was not bad, but he was so forbearant under the obscenity of Da Zhou, but he also had a lot of unconvincing in his heart!

After Bofu was busy with the affairs of Bao Xi, he didn't look interested in the government affairs of the Qin State at all, as if the idle clouds and wild cranes all day long were his favorite days, and he was too tightly bound in the palace in the past, but now he doesn't have to care about political affairs at all, and the whole person looks very relaxed. This appearance is also called winning's suspicion, and he can't figure out what is going on, but Bofu's calmness and calmness make him not calm and calm.

Bao Xi proposed to worship on the grave of his deceased father, and Ying Kai arranged for Baili Cheng to escort Bao Xi all the way to safety, Bao Xi asked Rong Qian to prepare wine, some sacrificial food and burned coins for herself, and went to the mausoleum in the suburbs from Qindu, standing in front of the mausoleum, Bao Xi looked at the stone tablet on the mausoleum, and asked Bai Licheng beside him, "When he dies, can you be by his side?" With a glass of wine in her hand, she lifted her head and poured it around the stele.

"If it were me, how could I have caused something to happen to him?" Bai Licheng asked rhetorically, hating his teeth.

"How did he get there?" Bao Xi turned to Bai Licheng and asked.

"The soldiers beside him that day said that it was a surprise attack by the dogs, and they attacked the camp where they were at night, and many brothers died because of it, and you know him, he took the lead in everything," Bai Licheng said here, sighing heavily, "Alas...... If the prince was still alive, you should have married him a long time ago, and you should have married into my Qin Kingdom that day, how could you be sent by your mother to Hojing to stay with the king? If he knows your present day, he is afraid that his heart will not feel good, and you have given your whole heart to the king, when he treats you sincerely, and he has not trampled one of your hearts to the ground, and has repeatedly trapped you in danger. ”

"Huh?" Bao Xi looked at Baili Cheng, "How could General Baili look at my relationship with the king like this?" ”

"It's true!" Bai Licheng said, "Although it was said that the dog Rong had a surprise attack and killed the son of the world that day, but there were too many flaws in this matter, that battle was the combination of the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the soldiers and horses of my Qin State to fight against the Rong together, if it is said that the dog Rong attacked, I am afraid that it is said that the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty pretended to be the division of the dog Rong and took the life of the father, and then assisted Yingde to take the throne is true!" ”

"Why does General Baili think so?" Bao Xi's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Bai Licheng and asked puzzled.

"I'm afraid that you have been deceived by his side for many years, he is the murderer of the son, there should be an uncommon hatred between you and him!" Baili Cheng said this, trembling because of anger, the whole person trembled, but Bao Xi's face was very peaceful, and asked rhetorically, "General Baili had already suspected this matter once that day, why is it brought up again now?" This palace thinks that this palace has sent someone to explain it to you clearly enough! ”

"I'm worried that even you have been bewitched by the king and believed his lies!" Bai Licheng said.

"Who said these things to you?" Bao Xi frowned and looked at Bai Licheng and asked.

These words made Bai Licheng feel very unhappy, took a step back, and nodded slightly, "I almost forgot, after all, you have been following the king for too long, and your heart has been completely towards him, as for the love of the prince for you, you don't care anymore!" I even hope that you can have some affection for the prince, since you are already ruthless, why do you have to come to worship, so that the prince knows that you are now married to a wife, once in the palace and extremely honored, and today you are the mother of the prince? ”

"General Baili!" Bao Xi said righteously, "Don't forget, who died at the hands of Yingde? ”

"I'm afraid that the king is now difficult to control, and what he does is beyond his expectations, and he is aggressive three or four times, and you are almost forced to a dead end, so he will kill Yingde, right? How difficult can it be to re-cultivate a new Qin Bo puppet? Otherwise, why did Qin Bo stay in the pickaxe capital and not return it for a few years? Bai Licheng asked.

"It's not because of other reasons, it's just because Shenhou's power in the court is too huge, and Shenhou once single-handedly suppressed the title of Earl of Qin in the Great Zhou, and I believe that General Baili has not forgotten this matter! There is already a gap between Qin and Shen in this matter, so this time, even if Qin State pressed heavy troops on the border of Shen State, hindering the original plan of Chu State to attack Shen State, the king did not believe that Qin State would really help Shen State resist the attack of Chu State, and this pressure was just for self-protection! "Bao Xi's old story is brought up again to remind Bai Licheng that Qin and Da Zhou have always been the same enemy, only with Shen Guo is there a feud, Bao Xi continued, "I am also very sad about the death of the prince, and it has changed my life because of this time, but the prince is brave and good at fighting, there are few opponents in the court, and when he encounters a surprise attack in the middle of the night, even if the king's men and horses pretend to be, the prince must be very vigilant, but what if this team is his own people?" She looked at Bai Licheng and asked.

"What do you mean?" Bai Licheng asked rhetorically.

"If this person who came to meet the prince is Yingde, the prince must have no scruples in his heart, Yingde's ambition is not only in the Qin State, but also in the world, but the prince has always been loyal, and would rather give up his title to Yingde than swear to defend the border of the Qin State. What reason does the king have to kill him, but to win virtue by upholding righteousness? Therefore, the king will leave Ying Kai in the capital for several years, not because he is afraid that he will return the win to Qin or let the tiger return to the mountain, which will be unfavorable to my Great Zhou, but because he is afraid that Yijiu's power is too strong and cannot be abolished rashly. General Baili was afraid that he had misunderstood the king's intentions. ”

"He kicked you out of the palace, and you still talk to him like that?" Bai Licheng frowned and asked, he felt that Bao Xi's words were indeed irrefutable, but emotionally, since he believed the envoys of Shen Guo back then, he was now unwilling to easily overturn his original conclusion, and wanted Bao Xi to retract what he said.

"It's not that he kicked me out, but he just wants me to save my life by leaving the harem." Bao Xi said with a smile, "If there is turmoil today, and the palace is not peaceful, Shenhou and Chuhou seem to be together, but people's hearts are unpredictable, everyone has everyone's ambitions, looking at the world, I can only take refuge in the Qin State!" She pursed her lips and smiled, a little desolate. The implication of these words is incredible, Shenhou and Chuhou seem to have joined forces, which makes Baili Cheng realize that the alliance between Shenhou and Chuhou must still have an inside story, "Could it be that the alliance between Shenhou and Chuhou will have any inside information?" ”

"If you attack the Chu State, the Central Plains of Kyushu will definitely respond to every call!" Bao Xi smiled, turned around and walked outside from the mausoleum, she had finished worshipping, and no longer talked about government affairs, but just asked, "General Baili left a blood for my Bao family back then, I am very grateful, if you can, I don't know if the general can take me to see this child?" ”
