Chapter 226: Two Ways to Retreat
"Bang la" The smashed wine jar made a crisp sound, and the people in the distance didn't hear it, but Qi Shu and them all heard it when they got closer, they stopped drinking, and then looked at Qi Shu and their movements in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
What is the county lord doing with a good wine jar?
After falling over the wine jar, Qi Shu wanted to stand on the stone, and then lectured to the soldiers. Ning Ze saw her intentions and stepped forward to help without saying a word.
Seriously, Ning Ze, the king of Guanghan who had a cold face and did not smile in front of the public, actually made most of the soldiers very puzzled by this behavior similar to that of an attendant, and it had been like this since the county lord arrived.
Doesn't it mean that Ning Ze, the king of Guanghan, is the most unclose to women? Could it be that the rumors are false? But looking at people's personable and elegant appearance, I always feel that it doesn't match.
Some people who know the inside story secretly explained that in Shaoliang City, there must be such a woman so that the prince can do this, if it is not suddenly said that Zhao Guogong is mainly married to King Guanghan, it is estimated that the two will be married.
When such gossip spread around, the soldiers realized that this King of Guanghan was also a seed of infatuation.
When the discussion below has reached the point where Qi Shu, who has a solemn face, turns silent, the right time to speak will come.
"Soldiers! Today, when the county lord and King Ning Ze of Guanghan came here, they had already announced that we were here to solve the matter of Guangchuan County, and you must all know it. Qi Shu held back his strength and said.
After all, all the men present, only she was a woman, she was not unapprehensive, her legs were trembling slightly, but Qi Shu knew that this was the critical period for Liwei.
The soldiers didn't speak, everyone's eyes were focused on Qi Shu's face, I don't know when she had removed the veil on her face, and her white and beautiful little face stood in the moonlight like a fairy.
"Before coming here, I have carefully inquired about the situation here, and I learned that all the soldiers have suffered a lot here, and the pain in their hearts is difficult to reduce, and the whole court feels speechless in the face of you, in the face of your loyalty!" Qi Shu clasped his fists at the soldiers to show his apology.
Some soldiers heard what Qi Shu said, probably because when the wine was hot, their rough faces were red and tears flowed, and some simply squatted on the ground and cried.
"Therefore, I ask Your Majesty for grace, and if you want to leave, I will arrange for someone to take you to a more remote place, and when the plague has passed, you can return home, but the soldiers infected with the plague cannot leave, so as not to affect other innocent people.
Here, Qi Shu solemnly promised to everyone that he would definitely give you a good explanation! Qi Shu then said.
This is also to comfort their hearts, so as not to make people too cold, after all, when their troops are here, the performance of the imperial court has been too chilling from beginning to end.
"Of course, I'm not here just for this, I also have other important things to do, tomorrow I will take people to Guangchuan County, before coming here, I and the prince have also drawn up a plan, and I plan to implement it tomorrow.
The prince and I and the people we brought are not afraid of the plague, we are also ordinary people, and we are also afraid of death, maybe life and death are fate, and some things always have to be faced and solved. ”
Qi Shu glanced at Ning Ze and motioned for him to have anything to add?
Ning Ze smiled slightly, and then also stood on the stone.
"I'll set off with the county lord tomorrow, so after you have a good night of drinking and eating meat, you have decided to stay! In any case, you are the bravest soldiers of Wei! Of course, your General Fang is not, and he can't go. We will take him back to the court to restore his life. "It's a hint that they might have to deal with the knot.
Qi Shu has some black lines, at this time, this person didn't forget to step on the square knot, why bother?
After Ning Ze and Qi Shu finished speaking, the two of them silently returned to their respective residences to rest, and the soldiers were silent for a long time after hearing Qi Shu and Fang Jie's words, and then their emotions gradually rose. target
The words of the prince and the county lord are obviously for their sake, and it seems that they are sincere, at least not lip service but really come up with a solution plan, which still makes them feel very moved.
Finally came to do practical things, when they followed Fang Jie before, they thought they were following the right person, but in fact, when they came here, they found that General Fang, whom they respected, was a person who only cared about himself, was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was as timid as a mouse.
Sure enough, it is tribulation that can see the truth.
Soldiers who don't know where they are going tomorrow will always remember the brave woman who stood on the stone and spoke loudly to them, and the woman who fought for their right to survive, which is really unusual.
In the wilderness, although the night is deep, it still can't hide the brilliance of the moon, and the stars are sparse and there are no points of light in the sky, and you will feel a little lonely. People are always willing to fill up in the depths of prosperity,
The cicadas in the grass can only be heard in quiet and uninhabited places, and of course, many trees are planted and can be heard in the small courtyard in the courtyard.
As usual, Zhao Huanting put a table in the courtyard, and then placed a pot of wine and two glasses on it. It's just a habit, no one will wait, no one will come.
Tonight's green plum wine is a little sour, not as sweet as before, Zhao Huanting drank it a little frowned.
There's no news yet, so I don't know what those spies are doing, it's so slow. Qi Shu should have arrived in Guangchuan County. Lately, the name has been hovering around the lips, and it's not because the matter is up in the air. In this way, it seems that Wei Guo is really not as powerful as he imagined.
Thinking that his father had come to urge him to return to Zhao immediately, the envoys of Qi had already arrived in Zhao, and he had to pay attention to their movements and return to Zhao to preside over the overall situation.
Qi Shu didn't listen to her words and didn't go, she not only went, but also went with Ning Ze. This made Zhao Huanting very jealous, didn't she say that she would never pay attention to him again? Why backtrack? The wound on my back is not healed yet, what if I get infected? Why so capricious?
In the face of his inquiry, Qi Shu's reaction was so cold that he felt that his burning beating heart was suddenly drowning in the icy water, which made him feel cold.
When he went to the county lord's mansion to look for him, Ning Ze happened to be there, and they actually had lunch at the same table.
As for what Zhao Huanting ate at that time, Zhao Huanting can't remember, but what he can remember is that the iced sour plum soup that day was extremely sour, so that he was very disgusted.
He and Ning Ze sat next to Qi Shu, Qi Shu's expression naturally did not mean any discomfort, even if Ning Ze next to him occasionally took her to pick up some vegetables, Qi Shu just used chopsticks to pick the food to the side, and did not show disgust.
All the emotions fell in Zhao Huanting's eyes, Qi Shu's performance was extremely normal, but why did he think that horizontal and vertical should not be like this?
The relationship between Qi Shu and Ning Ze should not be so calm and natural, as if they have known each other for many years. This feeling made Zhao Huanting feel very uncomfortable, even disgusted.
"Shu'er, that place is dangerous, you shouldn't go, listen to my advice and don't be persistent." He wants to say that there are many ways to embark on the official road, and there is no need to stare at the most dangerous road, what future ambitions can you talk about when your life is gone?
Do you have to take extreme measures to solve everything? Although Qi Shu's personality is not understood, and she is rarely able to follow the traces, she has always acted like this more than once.
Zhao Huanting remembered that she persuaded Qi Shu so at that time.
But how did Qi Shu answer?
"Wan Ting, Your Majesty has summoned me in the morning, so this matter is no longer for me to decide, if Your Majesty asks me to go, I have absolutely no reason to refuse, I have also thought it through."
"What about the old prince Ji Ci? Didn't you say that Liu Guogong planned it for you? Did you just give up the path of the old prince Ji Ci? Don't you know what his status is in Shaoliang? You are from Wei, so you must know better than I know. ”
Zhao Huanting said in a somewhat angry tone.
Qi Shu was a little surprised, and then suddenly turned into a moved expression, Zhao Huanting saw it in her eyes, and only felt that Ning Ze's eyes seemed to be mocking.
"Wan Ting, I know that you are worried that I care about me, but this matter must be done by someone after all, and there is no one else who should issue His Majesty's edict except me, and I have my own reasons, so you don't have to say anything more." Qi Shu still gently rejected his proposal.
From beginning to end, Ning Ze didn't say a word, nor did he agree with it, let alone stop it, he didn't doubt whether Ning Ze was sincere in treating Qi Shu, if he was sincere, how could he watch Qi Shu die?
Later, it wasn't until after lunch that he returned to the Twilight Tavern that he got the news, it turned out that Ning Ze was going to go with Qi Shu, no wonder, no wonder that the person didn't say anything from beginning to end.
Crazy people, all crazy people. I don't want my life. When Zhao Huanting knew that Ning Ze took the initiative to ask to go with him, and Yanmo did not ask him to go, she impulsively scolded people for the first time.
But what now? The people have already gone there, what else can he say?
What he can do at the moment is to pray that Qi Shu can return safely, as long as he returns well, whether he has handled the matter well or not, as long as he can return safely.
"Princess, your majesty has another letter." Zhao Siming didn't know where he suddenly jumped out, and his black clothes were drowned in the darkness and blended into the night, not as obvious as Zhao Huanting's white clothes in the dark night.
"Bring it." The voice was very cold, and Zhao Huanting, who was in a bad mood, only felt irritable in the face of Zhao Siming's interruption, and whoever came to provoke him at the moment would just make him more irritable.
"Yes!" Zhao Siming stepped forward and took two steps, lowering his head and not daring to look at Zhao Huanting.
