Chapter 173 Sending the King a Thousand Miles
It's early on the light dust.
Fang Qingchen, who has been closed all the time, seems to be unasked about state affairs, and he actually went to the early court.
Those who practice martial arts will not show fatigue if they have no sleep all night. Fang Qingchen and Qin Xufei looked at each other in the court, and there was still a faint smell of wind and thunder, but they didn't really come out in the end.
In fact, the court meeting is just a statement, a formality. Regarding the major event that Qin Xufei was going to take all the Qin troops to withdraw from the Chu State, they did not officially announce it at the court meeting, but after the dispersal of the dynasty, they gathered the relevant powerful figures in the court and the central government together in the side hall, and explained them one by one in front of the little emperor.
Most of the people who participated in the secret meeting already knew it, and the others, although they were shocked, but Qin Xufei and Fang Qingchen were in battle at the same time, plus everyone felt that the withdrawal of Qin's forces from Chu was a good thing, and they still unanimously supported it. Even the little emperor was a little faintly excited.
After the secret meeting, the two sides were busy together to carry out the operation of the Qin army's departure from Chu. In all cities and ministries, the Qin people set up a name, evacuated in the name of changing defenses, etc., and handed over official positions and government affairs with the Chu people. While the Chu people were hurriedly taking over all the benefits that fell from the sky, they were sweating like rain to dispatch supplies to Qin Xufei according to the orders from above.
The high-level who knew about it got Fang Qingchen's iron order and kept his mouth shut about the below. The people below were busy with their work, and although they had some doubts, most of them couldn't understand what it was for a while.
It is impossible for the army to completely hide people's eyes and ears. However, when the Chu State was in turmoil, the jade was burned. Originally, the spies who infiltrated Chu from various countries were not spared. These people disguised as ordinary Chu people, they were the same as ordinary Chu people, and they suffered countless casualties. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, most of the survivors of the spy were evacuated, except for a few backbones that were left as seeds.
After the chaos of the Chu State, it was weak again, with thousands of miles of red land, there was no oil and water to fish, and it was powerless to threaten other countries in the short term. Therefore, countries are not very concerned about this territory. Except for the Qin State, they were not able to make a big effort. The original intelligence system was restored to perfection.
Now the spies of various countries in the Chu State are understaffed, and the information transmission is not well-informed enough, so their vision can only be trapped in one place, and they cannot detect the overall situation of the Chu State in time.
The Qin people in City A said that they would change their defenses to City B, and the Qin soldiers in City B said that they would go to City C to hand over the ...... In the midst of the chaos, those Qin troops who flowed and did not know where to go. But like pearls, they are quietly scattered to converge on the line from the capital of Chu to the border of Qin, just waiting for the people who set off from the capital, pulling a thread, and stringing them all the way is perfect.
The first batch of people, horses, weapons, and horses that Qin Xufei could take away. Large combat equipment, as well as other supplies and baggage, were all secretly in place. It only took eight days. It was two days ahead of Qin Xufei's original plan.
Such a big move, there are some small frictions and conflicts in the middle, which is inevitable. However, there are two people, Qin Xufei and Fang Qingchen, who are fully controlled and cooperated. Those small turmoil have quietly subsided.
――――――――――
It is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a troubled world.
Years of troubled times. Withering. The capital of Chu State, which has not yet recovered, is far less lively than Yanjing.
The sun sets in the west, and the moon rises in the east. In Yanjing, the night market is bustling at the moment, full of hustle and bustle, and it is not yet tired in the dead of night. However, in Chu Jing, it is already a depression, and thousands of families are sleeping peacefully.
In the capital of Chu and Qin, there is still a curfew at night.
In the night, the long street is silent. At the end of the long street, the heavy north gate quietly opened, and behind the city gate, the bluestone official road leading to the northern border was quietly paved into the distance under the moonlight.
Qin Xufei was dressed in ordinary clothes and rode a horse. Behind him, there were fellow generals who, like him, were dressed unobtrusively. And behind these generals is a group of people who see them off.
In addition to Liu Heng and other brothers who stayed behind, most of the important officials of the Chu State, whether out of politeness or politeness, sacrificed their sleep to see them off. It was inconvenient for the little emperor to leave the palace, but he also sent his own chief eunuch to express it.
Of course, Fang Qingchen didn't come.
On behalf of Fang Qingchen, it was Zhao Wangchen.
Qin Xufei's gaze swept lightly over Zhao Wangchen. Fang Qingchen would not have the leisure to tell his apprentices to see him off. Zhao Wangchen will be here, obviously because he is meticulous and does not want to make any mistakes, so he took the initiative to come over.
But Liu Heng chuckled beside him: "Fang Houdi's temperament is really weird, even these years, how to fight openly and secretly, there should be a little affection, today is goodbye, I don't know if there will be a day to see each other in the future, he is really decisive." ”
"Forget it, when did that person ever be polite to me." Qin Xufei smiled faintly.
Fang Qingchen didn't come to see him off, which was what he expected, so he didn't feel disappointed.
Each party guards one side all the year round, and only then does it get together for a short time, but it is also separated. Qin Xufei just stared at Liu Heng, lowered his voice and said, "In the future, it will all depend on you." I took the elite away, and among the people of Chu State, there will inevitably be some shallow vision, and they will find trouble with you. You will have to suffer a lot of sulking. ”
Liu Heng smiled: "Not everyone in the south is polite to us, in the past two years, I have already practiced the kung fu of forbearance." I can endure everything I can, I can't bear it anymore, I will cry and shout, and find that Marquis Fang to call the shots. The man was not very polite, but the reason was still
.
Qin Xufei nodded. The two are friends of life and death, and they treat each other with all sincerity, even though they bear a very heavy burden, but their confidence in each other has never wavered. What's more, there are so many Chu people watching around, and they openly whisper, which is not appropriate after all.
Therefore, the two of them smiled at each other, pulled off their horses, and each went to have a final greeting chat with the officials and generals of the Chu State, and said some polite nonsense.
Qin Xufei replied with others and hesitated. Finally, he took the horse, arrived next to Zhao Wangchen's horse, and asked in a low voice: "Your master is still drinking in the mansion?" ”
Zhao Wangchen said respectfully: "Master, I haven't drunk for a few days. He left the house early this morning, but he didn't enter the palace, nor did he come to say goodbye to the prince, and I don't know where the master went. ”
Qin Xufei also found it difficult to grasp Fang Qingchen's thoughts, so he didn't bother to guess where he went. Just hearing Zhao Wuchen say that Fang Qingchen hadn't drunk for a few days, it made his heart move slightly. I couldn't help but smile lightly. After thinking about it, Fang Dao said: "Although your master treats you very gently and caringly, in the end, it is not thin, you should not let him down in the future." ”
Zhao Wangchen looked at Qin Xufei in a little stunned, as if he felt that his tone was extremely strange: "Lord Wang, Master has the grace of reinvention for me, and I don't dare to forget it for a moment, Lord Wang's words." Where to start? ”
Qin Xufei smiled bitterly, alas, could he still pull this kid's clothes, pick him up, and warn loudly, I know the origin of your kid and many unsightly behaviors. So you're going to be honest with me later?
Come on, if he really dares to do so many things, even if he leaves with the army. Fang Qingchen would also bring people to hunt him down.
"Your master and I have been fierce rivals for so many years, but I have always respected him. He's that guy...... There's something weird about that person. If others treat him well, he will repay ten points, but if others lose him one point, he can also repay a hundred times. ”
Qin Xufei scolded himself in his heart for being troublesome. On the other hand, he is still doing the last effort, and the effect is definitely not large: "You can devote yourself to his mentorship and get his guidance." To have today's achievements is luck and creation, and you should cherish it. ”
Zhao Wangchen looked at Qin Xufei deeply, and said slowly: "I am ignorant, I don't understand the deep meaning of the prince, and I still ask the prince to make it clear?" ”
Qin Xufei shook his head, no matter more, he couldn't say anything more. Whether you can listen to these words or not can only depend on how deep the obsession in the young man's heart is.
To put it bluntly, Fang Qingchen's kind of monster, do you really need to worry about him? Even he himself didn't really think that Zhao Wangchen could pose any real threat to Fang Qingchen, but he was just ...... I don't want that person to be let down again, that's all.
He stopped talking, and rode his horse a few steps quickly, chatting with the generals in front of him.
Zhao Wangchen's eyes were deep and he looked at him fixedly, but he didn't ride his horse over to ask questions in the end.
The city gate has arrived, Qin Xufei turned around and hugged everyone: "Everyone sent me here, I am deeply grateful." You don't have to pay too much attention to these false courtesies, so let's stop there. ”
The generals of the Qin State who stayed behind refused to show any reluctance, and immediately stopped their horses. The officials of the Chu State politely said a few more miles, but Qin Xufei didn't let everyone have a chance to finish his words, so he gave a salute on the horse, turned the horse's body, and with a light whip, even the people and the horse, like a lightning bolt, galloped out of the city gate. More than a dozen generals of the Qin army followed, galloping and roaring, but the smoke and dust raised by the horses' hooves did not subside for a long time.
It's easy, and there's no reluctance. Qin Xufei left the capital of a country that he had mastered for many years, left the city of the land where his biggest enemy, his best friend, and his best friend, ran to the garrison outside his city, to the battlefield far away in the Qin State, and to the future where life and death were unknown.
In the north of the capital, overlooking the top of the mountain peaks in the capital, facing the night wind, Fang Qingchen has been standing quietly for a long time.
Standing on this supreme place, you can see it at a glance inside and outside the capital. His eyes had been above the palace, lingering back and forth, and he had also looked out of the city, in the direction of the Great Qin garrison. However, more often than not, he was actually just looking at the cold and cold capital in the curfew, as well as the lonely mountains and rivers outside the capital.
There was a lonely moon behind him, and his snow-white robe was also gloomy and lonely. He became inexplicably annoyed, reached out and took a small wine jug from his waist, raised it close to his lips and wanted to drink it, but he raised his eyebrows inexplicably, turned his hand gloomily, and poured the mellow wine on the ground.
Drown one's sorrows?
Qin Xufei...... Do you really dare to say it?
Fang Qingchen gritted his teeth silently, his eyes hateful, but he secretly praised in his heart that he was really broad-minded, and finally let this guy leave completely like this.
He looked deeply in the direction of the city gates. The distance is too far, even with his eyesight, it is impossible to distinguish those dozens of small ants. And the camp of the Qin army in the distance, although it is also in sight, but the night is too deep, even when the army is leaving, he is afraid that he can't even understand the smoke and dust.
He didn't know if he had seen the man leave. However, this would have been irrelevant.
Fang Qingchen sighed and shook his head.
It's all in the past.
