Chapter 557: Defeated
"Are you so nervous?" Jiang Youjing teased him. Hearing the sound, he immediately came to her side and held her hand tightly, Jiang Youjing felt a cold temperature. Distressedly, he asked, "Why are your hands so cold?" ”
"Nonsense, you must be worried, you are my most valuable baby, where can I find it if I lose it. Of course, I'm worried about you. He held her hand tightly and didn't let go.
Listening to his words, Jiang Youjing felt a warm current flowing through his heart. "Okay, I'm fine, Murong Furen is very reliable, how can it be dangerous." Jiang Youjing led him to sit down and comforted him carefully.
Unexpectedly, a certain vinegar king turned over the vinegar jar and let out an indifferent "oh". Jiang Youjing laughed when he heard this, and hurriedly praised him: "No, who can be as reliable as you, and you are still jealous, hahahaha." I couldn't help but laugh.
"If you know, it's good." Pinching her face, her eyes were gentle like a lake. "Let's get down to business, don't make trouble." Seeing his gentle eyes, Jiang Youjing was moved again, but he still couldn't forget to get down to business.
"My conjecture is really right, Qi Xiangtian actually told Murong Fu that if he was willing to help him become the emperor, he would cede Liancheng to Western Xia after the matter was completed, he knew that my father and emperor had always been obsessed with Liancheng." Jiang Youjing put on a serious look and said seriously.
"What? Liancheng, is he crazy? The economic lifeline of Qi is in Liancheng, if Liancheng is cut out, Qi will definitely collapse. Qi Junqing was very shocked and felt incredible.
"Yes, I think so too, besides, with Qi Yutian's character, it is impossible for him to do what he says. And I'm afraid that he will go to war against Western Xia when he achieves his goal. Jiang Youjing's logical and clear speculation made Qi Junqing look at her with admiration.
"It is possible that Qi Qitian is a person with a strong desire for power, and he may start a war against Western Xia in order not to let Liancheng go." Qi Junqing felt very reasonable.
"So, I asked him to support us, but he's still thinking about it." Jiang Youjing continued. "He needs time to think about it, and if he tells him so suddenly, he may not believe it, and he will definitely investigate and make a decision" Qi Junqing understood Murong Fu's hesitation.
"Report." "Enter" Qi Junqing heard the voice of a spy and hurriedly let him in. "General Murong has been killed." The spy said breathlessly.
"What?" The two were surprised. "Got it, you go down." Qi Junqing immediately adjusted his mood and didn't let the spies go down first.
"Qi Xiangtian, it must be him." Jiang Youjing regretted that she shouldn't have gone to Murong Fu, otherwise she wouldn't have killed him, she felt very guilty in her heart, and she hated Qi Tiantian even more. "He's a shameless villain, he must have planted eyeliner in Xixia and used human life as a straw, he will definitely pay the price."
"You be sensible, now is not the time to pursue this, the people of Western Xia will definitely think that we killed someone, because you just left Murong Fu died, we have to be on guard." Qi Jun's analysis of clearing wisdom.
And the people of Western Xia received this notice and learned that the envoy of Qi came to the camp of Western Xia to make peace, and Murong Fu was killed, and he insisted that Qi Junqing killed him.
"Deceive people too much, deceive people too much, I must make them pay." The Western Xia Emperor was furious. and ordered a fierce attack on the army of the Qi State.
The Western Xia people launched a fierce attack and constantly reinforced the army, and the supply routes of the Qi state were also disrupted by them, they robbed the grain and grass of the Qi state, and vowed to be inseparable from the Qi monarch.
Qi Junqing carried such a big black pot for no reason, and he couldn't explain anything, so he had to fight with them. However, there was a shortage of food and grass, and Qi Xiangtian sent people to deliberately make trouble, and the morale of the soldiers quickly declined.
Knowing that this is not a way to go on like this, and this scapegoat is too aggrieved, the soldiers have not eaten a good meal for several days, and if they continue like this, they will starve to death before they die in battle. So he took the initiative to sue for peace.
He came to the camp in Western Xia alone, Jiang Youjing was not at ease and insisted on going, Qi Junqing was worried that she would be detained by the people of Western Xia, after all, the general this time was not Murong Fu, no one knew her identity, and she would definitely be taken as an ordinary hostage. So he ordered someone to take a good look at her, and came to the camp in Xixia alone.
The enemy was furious when he saw him coming to sue for peace, but after hearing that Murong Fu was not killed by him, his position wavered, but he still didn't fully believe him, but fortunately, he agreed to his request for peace, and he didn't deliberately embarrass him. After the two sides drew up a treaty, they let Qi Junqing go back.
Qi Junqing returned to the dynasty with the army. Looking at the depressed looks of the soldiers, he knew what they were thinking, but victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, no one is a victorious general, and fighting is not only based on strength, but also luck, so let them be unlucky.
Looking at the sad face of the man next to him, Jiang Youjing felt uncomfortable, and held his hand tightly along the way, wanting to give him warmth and strength.
Back in the palace, the emperor had already heard that Qi Junqing had been defeated, and he lost his temper, and when he saw him coming back, he scolded him nonsense: "You still took the initiative to ask for help, but it turned out to be defeated, do you know what this makes others think of you?" What does this make the people think of you? You have always been the god of war in their hearts, but now you have been defeated, you say you, you. The emperor poured all his anger on him.
Jiang Youjing, who was following him, was not happy when he heard this: "Emperor, I think it's very unfair for you to say this, no one is invincible, even when Zhuge Liang leads the troops and fails, not to mention that he is just an ordinary ordinary person, besides, isn't it just a defeat?" If you do this, you will make others think that you are not broad-minded. ”
"Alright, don't say it." Qi Junqing hurriedly interrupted her, afraid that the emperor would pursue her. "That's it, this is the palace, when will it be your turn to be a female streamer talking nonsense here?" Qi Qitian seized the opportunity to block her words.
In his life, he was most unaccustomed to looking down on men who looked down on women, Jiang Hejing defended: "In ancient times, there were women and good female generals who led troops to fight, and Wu Zetian dominated the world, what happened to the female streamers, can you compare to the women or compare with the women, Wu Zetian is here to look down on the female stream." ”
"You, but you're not a good woman, aren't you incapable of reversing the defeat? If you have a plan, why don't you help King Ruxian take Western Xia? Qi Qitian had nothing to say, so they had to hurt each other.
"And King Ruxian, you took the initiative to ask for orders to attack Western Xia, but this time you were defeated, you still have the face to come back, think about how you should bear the guilt." said that Jiang and Jing would not win, so they pointed the finger at Qi Junqing.
"Don't you understand how I lost? Where is the emperor's turn to worry about my whereabouts, do you want to ......" I really can't stand the woman who others bullied him, lips and tongues are opposite.
The emperor rubbed his temples and listened to their gossip and quarreled: "Don't quarrel, do you still have me, the emperor, in your eyes?" Okay, Qi Junqing will go back and stand by first, reflect and reflect, you can't be defeated in vain, and learn a lesson. Go down, all of you, and let me be quiet. ”
The two returned to the palace and continued to live a leisurely life, although they lost this time, they did not fully suspect that Qi Junqing killed Murong Fu, after all, Murong Yan, that old fox, was a cautious and cautious person, if it was really Qi Xiangtian's killer, he would definitely not cooperate with him again, so now they are still safe.
But a messenger came to the Western Xia, saying that the princess of the Western Xia had been taken captive by the Qi State. The emperor felt impossible: "No, how can we Qi people kidnap your princess of Western Xia, besides, the entry of people from Western Xia will definitely be recorded by local officials, and I have never reported the entry of the princess here." ”
"Your Majesty, our princess must be in Western Xia, our spies have confirmed it, and she is a princess of your Qi country." The messenger said firmly.
"What? Or a princess, how could I not know about such a big thing? "The emperor is suspicious, and he doesn't know what the princess of Western Xia means.
"If you don't believe me, you can convene a royal family to attend the banquet, and our people will definitely identify which princess is the princess of Western Xia." The messenger was bent on finding the princess, so he came up with such a method.
"Yes, I promise you, but if there is no princess you are talking about, you will have to give me an explanation." The emperor was not sure if there was really a princess lurking in the Qi country, and agreed to them with conditions.
Although the two of them are very bored in the palace, they are also very comfortable together, Jiang and Jing have never wanted Qi Junqing to be so busy and have no time to stay together, so this opportunity can take a good rest and accompany her.
In the afternoon, Xiao Xizi sent a gilded invitation, saying that she was going to gather royal relatives and important ministers of the court to attend a banquet. "It's just a festival, why did the emperor think of a banquet?" Jiang Youjing asked curiously.
"Want to know?" Xiao Xizi saw her curious look and deliberately raised her appetite. "Do you need to talk about it?" Jiang Youjing rolled his eyes.
Kiko gestured to give money. "Here you go." Jiang Youjing took off the silver bracelet in his hand and gave it to him. "I heard that an envoy from Western Xia came and said that he wanted the Qi country to have their princess and bring it back." Xiao Xizi is also neat and tidy. Immediately leaked the news to her.
In the evening, many ministers and princes brought their families to the banquet. Jiang Youjing followed closely behind Qi Junqing. Knowing what she was afraid of, he held her hand tightly and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, with me, no one dares to touch you." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Youjing felt much more relieved, but he was still very nervous, his head turned quickly, trying to find a way to hide his identity, that group of people may not recognize themselves, but they will definitely grasp the characteristics on their bodies to judge who is the princess.
