Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Covenant of Ideals

However, Chen Jing's thoughts slightly underestimated Song Que.

In Song Que's letter, there was no mention of marriage.

The Song Lords will send troops to pacify Jiangnan. Song Que will repair a letter and ask Shu to help Chen Jing.

I believe that Chen Jing will be able to support the pillar's counterattack this time.

The needs of the Song valve are only that in the new dynasty, the people under the rule of the Song valve should be exactly the same as the people under the rule of Chen Jing, and Chen Jing will help Song Que to understand the broken void.

Interesting, with two things that he doesn't say I'll do as a condition? Wait for free help. It seems that Song Que has great expectations for my new weapon.

Chen Jing thought. He knew that Song Que couldn't really know the huge gap between hot weapons and cold weapons, so Song Que's favorable conditions could be said to be a direct declaration of Song Valve's surrender attitude.

"Does Mr. Song Zhi know why the Heavenly Sword offers such generous conditions?" Chen Jing asked Song Zhi curiously.

"Frankly speaking, Song Zhi didn't expect such a condition as the eldest brother. If it is Song Zhi, then how can he fight for the position of emperor and queen of Yuzhi. Song Zhidao.

Chen is still clear about this. Mr. Song Zhi brought Miss Yuzhi here, and he still had a glimmer of hope. However, Mr. Song Zhi, Chen wants to say that in my country, the position of emperor and queen is meaningless, even if it is the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it will not have the same decisiveness as before. Chen Jing said.

"Song Zhi has already realized this on the way here." Song Zhi sighed, "So I didn't mention those things at all this time, and it was completely based on the letter of the eldest brother, so I should have brought Yu Zhi over to see my old friend." ”

After speaking, Song Zhi was a little silent.

Chen Jing didn't speak either. He could tell that Song Zhi needed a little quiet time.

"Gong Chen." Song Zhi suddenly said, "Song Zhi has something unclear, I wonder if I can ask Gong Chen for advice?" ”

Chen Jing smiled when he heard this: "Mr. Song Zhi is polite, Chen is still young, and he deserves the title of 'Chen Gong'." Mr. Song Zhi has something, but just ask. ”

"Then ask Chen Wangshu and Song Zhi to talk more." Listening to Chen Jing's words, Song Zhi also changed his title, and directly called Chen Jing's status.

The current Chen Jing, although he is not officially called the king and the emperor, the world has long acquiesced to his name as the king of Jingzhou.

"No matter how powerful King Chen's firearms are, this time he also needs the strength of my Song Valve to tide over the difficulties. Generally speaking, this should be the time when my Song valve opened the bidding code, and it has been a custom to do so throughout the ages. But this time, the eldest brother directly gave up the interests of the Song Valve and directly helped you in a vassal posture. Song Zhi didn't understand, why was this? In this regard, King Chen didn't seem surprised, but Song Zhi couldn't help it and wanted to ask King Chen to solve his doubts. What do you and my brother think? Song Zhidao.

……

Emperor stepped on the peak, Cihang Jingzhai.

"Master, the king of Jingzhou has become a big trend, and the concubine is powerless to return to heaven, so she has come to ask the master for her guilt." Concubine Xuan knelt in front of Fan Qinghui and said in a low voice.

"Concubine Xuan, get up." Fan Qinghui picked up this disciple who was the most proud, but too young.

"What did the people say?" She asked the concubine.

Concubine Xuan didn't quite understand this, and Brother Shimin didn't seem to have any pity. He said that although after the Song valve suddenly sent troops, he could not gather enough forces to fight the king of Jingzhou, and it seemed that the chances were slim, but in fact, whether the Song valve could send troops or not had no impact at all. The opportunities have been good. The concubine said.

"Is it ......" Fan Qinghui was silent for a moment.

"Master, what is the reason for this?" Concubine Shi asked.

"If you say the reason, the master doesn't dare to say that it is very clear, probably because Shimin never thought of defeating that Chen Jing with the army." Fan Qinghui said.

……

Chang'an, Tiance House.

"Second brother, why are you still so stable. The weapons of the king of Jingzhou are so powerful, if we don't take advantage of the fact that his weapons are scrapped to fight him, we can only wait for death. Li Xiuning said anxiously.

Li Shimin, who was opposite her, was slowly taking the orange handed over by his wife's eldest grandson Wujian and taking a bite.

"Xiuning was too anxious to read the battle report of Jingzhou Wang Pojing Xiangjiu County before." Li Shimin said.

"Even if we do our best and persuade Dou Jiande and others in the north to join forces, we may not be able to break the Jingzhou army."

"Second brother!" Li Xiuning didn't believe it. She only thought that Li Shimin was frightened by Chen Jing's cannon.

"Xiuning is not in a hurry. Think about it, where was the king of Jingzhou when we first saw it? Li Shimin said.

"It's by Princess Wanjing's side. Is there anything about this? Now the world knows that the Dongming faction is the first gang to be subdued by the king of Jingzhou. Li Xiuning said.

"If you think about it, there were a few big things going on at that time." Li Shimin said.

"You mean, Li Mi's death?" Li Xiuning thought thoughtfully, "This was a suspicious case at the time, but on the surface of our later investigation, this matter is inseparable from the King of Jingzhou." ”

"That's right. But at that time, the king of Jingzhou only had a few people under him. Li Shimin sighed, "At that time, I understood that the training methods of the King of Jingzhou were still above me." Later, he broke the tens of thousands of troops of the four great Kou with a thousand soldiers in the Pegasus Ranch, and he cut money non-stop on the river. Just recently, when he broke Baling and completely captured the nine counties of Jingxiang, how many armies did he defeat with most soldiers? ”

"This ......" Li Xiuning couldn't help but gasp when he thought about it.

"He now occupies Hanzhong. We don't have his kind of weapon, and if we want to break through the danger of Hanzhong, we can only use the previous methods to attack. This method may not be enough to fill all our armies. After all, we now only have about 150,000 troops after years of fighting against the Turks. Li Shimin said.

"But the king of Jingzhou now occupies Hanzhong, and he has forced our vital point like a knife, if we wait for him to recover, we will ......," Li Xiuning said.

"So, we really can't let him be safe." Li Shimin said.

"Then why ......" Li Xiuning was confused. How can you do it without sending troops and not letting the opponent be at peace?

"Innocent, what do you say?" Li Shimin suddenly smiled at his beloved wife.

"Shimin, it's not good for me to participate in this kind of thing." The eldest grandson shook his head.

"It's okay, now I need your strength." Li Shimin said.

"That's right. Then I'll send Zhao Deyan a long-lost letter. Although Zhao Deyan's level is a little worse, as a disciple of his father, I think he still knows the priorities. The eldest grandson said innocently.

"Then please Guanyin." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Oh, Xiuning is still here, so affectionate!" The eldest grandson blushed with shame.

They were intimate as if no one was around. Li Xiuning was dumbfounded.

Don't get me wrong, Li Xiuning was not stunned because of the intimacy of his brother and sister-in-law. She doesn't care about this kind of husband and wife relationship that has nothing to do with the world's major events.

"Wuji, you said that your father is Zhao Deyan's master!" She was surprised by this.

"You're from the Demon Sect!"

Xiuning rest assured. The eldest grandson has no ambitions. My father had long felt that the mess of the Demon Gate was meaningless. So our brothers and sisters don't play the magic gate thing anymore. The eldest grandson said innocently.

"Xiuning, you care wrong." Li Shimin interjected, "I want to tell you this from your sister-in-law. For the king of Jingzhou, now he can only use the power of martial arts. Also, as a gate valve force, never consider the black and white on the rivers and lakes. Whoever it is, as long as the benefits outweigh the damage, we can consider using him. ”

……

In Chen Jing's mansion, Song Zhi's question really made Chen Jing think about it.

"Mr. Song Zhi, if you ask why. Probably, although we are not thorough Jianghu people, we still have a little ideal. ”

"Ideal?" Song Ji was strange.

"Yes, ideal. To put it bluntly, it's worthless, that is, Lord Song thinks that helping me can make his ideal come true. And if you use cold calculations, it will plant a nail in my heart, and sooner or later something will go wrong. Chen Jing said.

"But as a gate valve, we have always only paid attention to profits." Song Zhi was more open and honest.

Ideal, these two words really don't want to be what is being said inside the gate valve.

"No matter who it is, it is impossible to talk about it all the time. We are just human beings of flesh and blood, not the cold logic of arithmetic, everything acts according to logic, and sooner or later everyone will betray and leave. Chen Jing said.

"But we're still going to use this kind of cold logic, why don't we use it this time?" Song Zhi asked again.

"Because you have the upper hand." Chen Jing said.

"Dominance?" Song Zhi was stunned.

"Yes, dominant. If logic can exert its power perfectly, ideals have the potential to mess things up, but it is also possible for us to transcend perfection. If we don't have an advantage, we generally don't dare to gamble with this method. Only if we have the advantage will we have the capital to adopt some 'dangerous' methods and achieve something that we are not so sane. For the Song lord, he was already invincible, and of course he could pursue his ideals. For example, eight years ago, when I had nothing, I spent my days carefully scavenging for resources, but I didn't have much room to think about my ideals. Chen Jing said.
