Chapter 167 - Solemn Matters (Little Double Change)
In the meeting hall of Xufei Palace, it was obviously full of heroes, but it was silent
The hall was full of Qin army generals. Qin Xufei's heavy generals and cronies, as long as they can rush back, have all gathered together at this moment.
And that letter has been passed on to everyone for a week.
Then, in the chamber, there was a strange silence. No one spoke, no one took a stand, and even the obvious change in expression was not enough.
Qin Xufei, who was sitting at the top, was already a little uncomfortable.
Here are all brothers and siblings who accompanied him in the sword mountain and sword forest. In recent years, some of them went to the south, and some were stationed in the northern part of the Chu State. Most of these people have not seen him for a long time.
Although Qin Xufei summoned them back to discuss this important matter, but everyone could meet again after a long absence, he originally thought that everyone would be like him and see this as a great event.
However, from the moment everyone walked through the door, things didn't seem quite right. He greeted him happily with a smile on his face, but everyone, including Liu Heng, gave him a cold face, well-behaved, not at all? Saluted him, without a warm look or a light joke, everyone perfectly and coldly maintained the politeness and distance from his superiors. It can be regarded as a polite basin of cold water. directly poured on Qin Xufei's fiery heart.
Changed to another commander, in the face of this situation, I am afraid that I will be frightened early, thinking that there is going to be a mutiny? But these people were all fought together with Qin Xufei. Brother who knows each other very well, so he didn't panic, and always believed that there must be another reason for this.
Reluctantly, he pressed his mind and entered the conference hall with everyone to discuss, but until now, everyone was still like a wooden man, all sitting without speaking or moving, even a character like Qin Xufei began to feel that his scalp was numb for a while. Finally, he reluctantly coughed dryly and asked, "About this." What do you think? ”
After a period of silence, Liu Heng, as the first person under Qin Xufei, stood up in this strange atmosphere as a matter of course and became the spokesperson of all the generals.
"Your Highness, you are our commander, the military order is like a mountain, whether to go or not to go, it is naturally up to you to decide. And why ask us more. ”
Such cold and unkind words are not at all like what Liu Heng might say to him Qin Xufei.
Qin Xufei looked at him with some consternation, and said slowly for a long time: "We are not only the commander's master, but also brothers and sisters. Moreover, for the sake of me alone, everyone has already endured too much and paid too much. Now, everyone can finally have a more peaceful life. I can't ignore everyone's wishes for the sake of one person's thoughts. ”
His tone was a little heavy, and he spoke slowly. There is also a sigh in my heart.
He really thinks that everyone should treat him a little worse.
These heroes and warriors who should be respected in the Qin State have become lonely ministers and sons in exile because of his identity. Then. If it weren't for his morality and protection of the country, these people would have returned to their homeland without doing anything. Instead of going to another country. There was no way back, so he endured humiliation and injustice, and wandered and fought in this foreign land.
Over the years, it has finally been settled, there is no need to fight, no more killing, everyone can live a normal life, many soldiers have put down their swords, picked up their hoes, and many generals have also begun to have a more harmonious relationship with the powerful families of Chu.
At this time, everyone was summoned again, and it was said that it was a discussion, but everyone knew what was being discussed.
The comfortable and happy life that everyone has won so hard will be destroyed again, even if they scold him for being a bloody sprinkler, they should be. However, even if there is indignation, dissatisfaction, and dissatisfaction, everyone should express it straightforwardly, but why would they respond to him with such a stiff and strange cold atmosphere.
Liu Heng calmly looked back at Qin Xufei's surprised eyes: "Then, such as."
Don't want to go back? ”
Qin Xufei said in a deep voice, "I will try my best to convince you. ”
"What if you can't convince you?"
Qin Xufei was silent for a long time, and smiled bitterly: "Naturally, I can't force it anymore." ”
Liu Heng stared at him deeply: "The righteousness of the country is in front of us, can Your Highness really let us abandon our family and country like this?" ”
Qin Xufei's expression was gloomy: "The people of the family and the country are naturally very important. However, for the sake of the Qin State, you have done enough. Even if you are asked to sacrifice for the country, there is no end. You have never failed the Qin State, but the Qin State has failed you. Now, even if you choose not to return to Qin, everyone has nothing to say. ”
"So, what about yourself, Your Highness?" Liu Heng was almost forcing him to look at him: "If we all refuse to follow His Highness, where will Your Highness go for yourself?" ”
Qin Xufei was silent and did not answer.
Liu Heng shook his head and replied on his behalf: "Your Highness will return to China by himself." Even if you can only bring your own personal guard, or if you are alone, you will still return home. Even if you put aside all the glory and power in front of you, even if you know that you will inevitably fall, you will definitely go back, right? ”
Qin Xufei smiled bitterly. Liu Heng naturally knew him. Not to mention that he is only the king of Chu now, even if he is already the emperor of Chu? I heard that the mountains and rivers of his homeland were ravaged and crippled, where could he still enjoy the honor and power.
Liu Heng snorted coldly: "Your Highness said that you don't persecute us, but isn't your behavior like that persecution?" Can we bear to watch His Highness return home alone and fight alone? ”
Qin Xufei took a deep breath and looked at everyone: "I will not impose my personal will on you, but I can't give up my own insistence for you. ”
He tried his best to keep his tone calm and calm, but his heart was uneasy. He deeply knows the feelings of the generals for him, so he asks himself, what Liu Heng said, I'm afraid it's right, whether intentionally or not, even if he says that he won't persecute everyone, but his behavior is obviously forcing everyone to make choices that meet his wishes, and even if he understands this, he can't change all this.
Liu Heng also sighed slightly, his eyes were focused, and he exchanged glances with all the generals present, and then said: "Your Highness, whether we are willing or not, you are the boss." As long as you give an order, we will obey it, whether we are convinced or not. ”
Liu Heng gritted his teeth: "As long as you take the lead in returning to China, we will not be ruthless to abandon you and ignore it." It's just that I did it so reluctantly, and I was unhappy in my heart! Even if we die on the battlefield, we won't be blind to death......"
He said this very strongly, and Qin Xufei's face turned pale when he heard it. However, Liu Heng's words changed, and he said: "However, if His Highness can promise us a condition, whether it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, we will definitely follow His Highness to the death, no matter how difficult the future is, we will never complain, even if the horse leather shroud, the body is incomplete, it is also a hundred deaths without regrets!" ”
This last sentence is said categorically, loudly, this gentle man, at this moment, between his eyebrows, is full of heroism.
Qin Xufei's expression was shocked when he heard this, and he already understood at this time. I'm afraid that before coming to the palace, all the generals under him met too much, and they discussed a decision, unified the caliber, and unanimously agreed, and Liu Heng came forward to negotiate with him.
But what kind of conditions do you want Liu Heng and the generals to bother with each other, with the emotional relationship between them, what is the matter that can't be said directly?
Confused, he asked, "What are the conditions?" “
Liu Heng's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said word by word: "Your Highness must ...... Become the King of Qin. ”
