Chapter 499: The East is Clear
The news that Han Feng had defeated Pushan Pass reached Liu Quan's hands within two days. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAfter Pushan Pass, four or five days away is the imperial capital, Liuquan is in the east, far away to the southwest.
Just like the arrangement made by the two of them in advance, Han Feng really had his own methods, which could not only contain Zhao Gong and Zhang Boyuan under the Tan family, but also capture Pushan Pass in one fell swoop, since things had developed to this point, it was time for him to start doing things.
The guests from the north have already arrived in the army, and their time is short.
Thinking of this, Liu Quan lovingly hugged Liu Tingting, who was already asleep in his arms. The child was only four or five years old, but he was already asleep on horseback, and he did not have the pampering habits of a princess. In the past year or so, she has grown up a lot, and it may have something to do with Qi Yan's death, after all, no matter how fierce and vicious the woman is, she has always been very good to Liu Tingting. At that time, he would marry Qi Yan, more or less to take care of the child's emotions.
Liu Tingting is so pitiful, she has no mother since she was a child, and now the best aunt in her heart has also left her, and the blow she suffered at a young age is no less than when she was young. Liu Quan sighed lightly and looked at the woman riding Xiaohan's horse: "Miss Qingqiu, thanks to you for taking care of her these days, this girl has caused you a lot of trouble." ”
Qingqiu smiled: "Emperor Liu, you are too polite. Tingting is smart and lovely, if I don't have her by my side, I practice the shamanic art alone, but I feel lonely and lonely. Besides, she is smart and psychic, and sometimes her inadvertent childlike words make people pause, and they also save me a lot of detours. ”
Liu Quan said: "That's good. The next military affairs will be very busy, and there will be some dangers, Tingting will be inconvenient by my side after all, but I am afraid that I will still have to ......"
Qingqiu said: "I understand this, Emperor Liu doesn't need to bother, I will naturally keep Tingting safe." ”
Liu Quan said: "I am very relieved to the girl, I just want to explain one more word, if things develop to the worst situation, please also ask the girl to take Tingting south and go to Han Feng's army." ”
"Oh? Although Qingqiu had questions, he didn't say anything. She was accustomed to the relationship between Liu Quan and Han Feng, but it seemed that now that they had confirmed it, there was no one to entrust except Han Feng.
Liu Quan asked, "You came from Pingsha City this time, did you go smoothly along the way?"
Qingqiu said: "That's not true. Xing Hou seemed to be in a hurry to dispatch his troops, and he didn't notice our departure at all. She also knew that Xing Hou kept Liu Tingting in order to contain Liu Quan, and when she thought about it, she suddenly realized, "Xing Hou ...... you."
Liu Quan said: "It's time to tear your face." ”
Qingqiu nodded, it was expected that things had developed to this point. Fortunately, she found out from her contact with the Rong people that although Huang Jidu was related to Xing Hou, he was not in harmony with his face and heart, and compared to Xing Hou, Huang Jidu seemed to be closer to Liu Quan, and his temper was more like-minded. His own clansmen are now settled in the Rongqi tribe, and Huang Jidu deliberately set aside a grassland on the Hongyuan for them to graze horses and sheep, which is to accept them as his own people in his heart.
Seeing that Qingqiu was silent, Liu Quan said again: "There are not many guards in the east until near Qianmo City. Most of the people left behind in the city were unwilling to go with Zhao Gong. After Zhao Gong left, it is said that the Japanese people took the opportunity to rob again, and the cities suffered serious losses, and the common people complained a lot. Therefore, I met almost no resistance, and I recovered six or seven small cities and two large cities. The Rongqi cavalry at the front has arrived at the seaside, and we are now going to Dongping County over there. ”
Although Qingqiu has never been to the vicinity of Qianmo City, he has also read a lot of maps these days, and knows that Dongping County is close to the sea, and the south of the city is on the verge of the famous Daiyue. Daiyue is the highest peak in the east, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, towering into the clouds, and the mountain scenery is handsome and incomparable, the momentum is magnificent, so the emperors of all dynasties have the practice of climbing Daiyue to seal the Zen. It seems that Liu Quan is going to Dongping County, not to collect land to see the city, but to climb the mountain and watch the mountain.
Although he has given up his efforts to become emperor on the surface, deep down, he still has not completely let go. It's just that if he is already in disarray today, and he has lost the most power, even if he reaches the top of Daiyue, what is the use? No one will admit him, he is doing this just to give himself a comfort.
Qingqiu looked at Liu Quan sideways and saw that his right hand was holding the reins of Cirrus Tieli while holding Liu Tingting, and the other hand was trembling into his arms and took out a small paper bag. There is no need to guess, what was in the paper bag was naturally the Ziying Hanshi that he couldn't get rid of.
Qingqiu couldn't stand it a little, and saw him bite the edge of the paper with his mouth to open the paper bag, and hurriedly blocked it with the handle of the horsewhip, and said, "Emperor Liu, you have a strong heart, you shouldn't be controlled by this little thing, let alone ...... What's more, it's in front of Tingting. ”
Liu Quan showed a rare hippie smile at this time: "Anyway, Tingting is sleeping soundly." Besides, who in this life is not living in control? Being controlled by things, by power, by money, by feelings, in the final analysis, they are all controlled by their own desires, what is the difference between me and them?"
"This ......" Qingqiu was speechless for a while.
Liu Quan said again: "Qingqiu, I just want to live as I want, if I want to force myself, it's not that I can't do it, it's just too sad." I also hope that Tingting can do this, just do what she wants to do, and just don't affect others. In fact, there are very few such things, and it is a rare blessing to be able to find one or two. ”
Smoking "Ziying Cold Stone Powder" was originally spurned by others, but for some reason, at this moment, it seems to be a gift from God to Liuquan. Qingqiu's heart softened, and the whip in his hand was slowly lowered - Liu Quan was a poor person after all, he was actually a poor person, this may be the biggest difference between him and Han Feng.
Qingqiu only felt sad in her heart, looking at the silhouette of Liu Quan, her eyes were slightly sour, and she almost burst into tears. She naturally has no love for him, but this compassion is a little unbearable. But after all, she is not an ordinary woman who can only cry and cry, her eyes are wandering, and she has already projected her attention elsewhere: "Why are all the soldiers who follow you? I remember that when you left that day, you took some of your own soldiers with you, what about them?" As soon as the words came out, Qingqiu rejected her conjecture in her heart: the personal soldiers were all close to Liu Quan, if the personal soldiers were all killed in battle, how could Liu Quan be able to talk to her intact.
Liu Quan said: "I'm not afraid to tell you. They are not my own soldiers, but the dead soldiers I have raised over the years, a total of 500 people, and I have let them go for my own use. ”
