The red and purple have turned into dust, and the cuckoo is new in the summer.

The sandwich road is endless, and I know that I am a peaceful person.

At the beginning of summer, the south has already felt the summer heat, but there are many thunderstorms and showers, so it is not so hot in summer.

And the north is much sluggish, still in the twilight of spring when "no one asks about the falling flowers outside the door, and the green shade is rising all over the world", Yong'an City, surrounded by a light breeze in late spring, is lively and unabated at the same time in the night of bright lights, and at the same time there is a daunting and depressing atmosphere.

The entire Great Qin Dynasty, especially the capital Yong'an, which was the backbone, was blowing more and more heaviness in addition to the refreshing and gentle breeze when the first late spring of the fourth year of Yongchun was approaching and summer was approaching.

I heard that the Beimang army on the grassland in the north has hundreds of thousands of fierce horses just for riding, and those who are regarded as simple-minded Beimang barbarians in the eyes of the Central Plains people have been as grassland sons all their lives, all of them can fight well, and everyone is a brave and invincible horse warrior with a sword.

The poor people, who had just been peaceful for four years, faced with a war that would cause countless people to be displaced, and even a battle between the two great powers that was even more powerful than the Spring and Autumn War, not many people could still hold their breath and trust the Great Qin Dynasty, which had not had time to penetrate into the hearts of the people.

Although Yongchun has passed four years, in the Great Qin Emperor Qin's rule of the country, the people finally have enough food and clothing for four full years, and can even be called living and working in peace and contentment, but after all, there are too many remnants of the old Spring and Autumn Period who have not really accepted the Great Qin, and even those people who were originally the Qin State, after the Great Qin Dynasty settled the Central Plains, left their homeland and came to the Central Plains, and most of them miss the simple life of the southwestern hometown.

War, sometimes as a "two ears do not hear the outside of the window" of the Central Plains rooted in the small people, numb and not so care, you hit your God, I live my life, as long as I don't let my wife separate, it's easy to say anything, how can there be those hypocritical hours to care about who killed whom, who resurrected and revenge whom.

But this time Beimang claimed to want to annex the entire Central Plains in one fell swoop, not to mention whether the Northern Mang barbarians could break through the defense line and break in, it was the hearsay that came out of the alleys of the market that "the barbarians should take the initiative to attack and take the Central Plains directly with millions of grassland lions", which also made the people of the Central Plains, who were the most leisurely and most concerned about their own interests on weekdays, worried and unstable.

At this juncture when people are panicking, fortunately, the first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty who sat on the dragon chair did not sit still, but did a "Four Kings Beijing Meeting" decently, which also made the people of the Central Plains a little more down-to-earth, the king of Xiliang, the king of Beihai, and the king of Shu gathered in Yong'an City, it doesn't matter whether the king of the south comes or not, as long as the king of Xiliang comes in person, this big war that may kill many people will have to be fought!

Yong'an City Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

Emperor Qin Yao, who always likes to read in the noise on weekdays, did not order people to make some noise this time, and at this time the imperial study was unusually quiet, and the needle drop could be heard, and in a dim dark room with only a few oil lamps burning, there were six people with different expressions sitting or standing.

Qin Tong, the Great Qin Emperor who was dressed casually, stood in front of the carved dragon chair with his hands in his hands, staring at the mountains of military books on the desk, as if he was thinking about something, and Gao Changlu, the "Golden Fox" who was standing aside and bowing his head and waiting respectfully, still had the faint appearance of an ancient well, with his hands on his sleeves and quietly waiting for his master's instructions that could be at any time.

On the other side of Qin Tong, there was also a strategist dressed in shabby costumes, his eyes were as narrow as if there was only a slit, and his face was slightly pale, obviously Chen Ping, a "poison man" with a mixed reputation.

And in the open space in the middle of the slightly narrow bookcase in the imperial study, there were two generals in armor sitting and standing, the older one sat steadily, but his expression was a little excited, and the slightly younger ones were already old and not confused, and their bodies stood straight, if it weren't for a scar that slanted across his face, it was really scary, and he was a person with a brilliant appearance, but at this time he looked much calmer and more sophisticated.

Opposite the head of the "poisoner" Chen Pingyao, there is also an old man with white hair behind his back, carrying a short poplar that has been cut down and is obviously rounder, step by step, constantly looking at the neatly placed old bamboo slips on the square bookshelf, and from time to time he walks to the shelf not far away and picks up a yellowed book and compares it carefully.

This small place in the imperial study room belongs to the most casual old man, who has no timidity that makes him panic when he sees the holy face, and studies those strange ancient books by himself.

Qin Tong pondered for a long time, and finally seemed to understand something, turned his head to look at Gao Changlu beside him, who noticed Qin Tong's gaze, retreated slightly, and bent slightly to continue waiting.

"Teacher, how is Yao'er?"

Seeing Qin Tong speak, a few people in the imperial study, except for the white-haired old man who still went his own way, Chen Ping was quite calm, the two mighty generals with armor had solemn expressions, the older one was no longer sitting steadily, and the younger one was even straighter.

Gao Changlu folded his sleeves and quickly pulled out his hands, and at some point there was an extra whisk in his hand, put it on the crook of his arm, and said respectfully with both hands:

"Your Majesty, the sixth prince is now the treasure of the rivers and lakes, many people have crooked thoughts about the little thing in the body of the sixth prince, the last time the twelve earthly branches were deliberately clumsy, but it really led to some big fish. ”

Qin Tong's face was slightly dissatisfied, "Is the teacher using Yao'er as bait?"

Taking a small step back again, Gao Changlu's body was even lower, "The miscellaneous family doesn't dare, but now there are a few people with good skills around the sixth prince, and they don't have to worry about their lives, but it's ......"

"But what?"

Glancing slightly, Mr. Yaoli, who was still immersed in the sea of books, Gao Changlu said respectfully:

"The young master of the old Chu has appeared, and he is by the side of the sixth prince at this time, but he has no intention of harming him, Huang Fuquan is already protecting him in secret, I believe that with Huang Fuquan's cultivation as a deterrent from the side, the young master of the old Chu still has some self-knowledge. ”

At this moment, the elder general, who had left a high chair, said loudly with a sonorous expression:

"Your Majesty, let Guan Yan lead the guards forward, and in less than two hours, he will definitely take the head of the old Chu relics!"

His face softened slightly, Qin Tong sat back on the carved dragon chair, and said lightly:

"I know that the old general of Nangong is eager to make meritorious contributions, but this matter is not urgent, and the little action of Old Chu is not on the table, and the primary concern for me today is Yao'er's safety!"

Hearing Qin Tong say this, it was Nangong Guanyan, the general of Youzhou who was sitting on the border of Great Qin, who had no choice but to remain silent, and Gao Changlu saw this, and continued in that sharp and thin voice again:

"There are already six people in the twelve earthly branches to protect the safety of the six princes, plus Huang Fuquan's secret protection, nothing goes wrong, and Ye Yin, the deputy sect leader of the Demon Sect Qilin Mountain, has also appeared, at this time, he and the 'red koi' Gu Huan should have separated the victory and defeat, but the Yin and Yang Pavilion did not know that he would take action to capture Shen Banfeng, the prince of the Guanying Sect, that Shen Banfeng no matter what the purpose, always protects the safety of the six princes, Your Majesty ...... this matter."

Waving his hand, Qin Tong said lightly:

"Yao'er doesn't need the people of the Guanying Sect to protect them, they want the affairs of the Qi Sect to solve it by themselves. ”

Gao Changlu was about to continue, when he saw the white-haired old man who was immersed in the sea of books coughed lightly and said leisurely:

"Your Majesty, now that the North is about to move, and Old Chu is also taking advantage of the chaos, it is a big fuss to make such a big move for a southern king...... There are twelve listening halls in the twelve earthly branches that are entangled by the six princes, the war is coming, and the spies who should be released must be released, if they only rely on the 'Qin Fence', it should not be difficult to stop the Beimang 'Listening Urn', if you want to intercept the intelligence again, you will be stretched!"

The entire Great Qin Dynasty, just because he wanted Mr. to be so polite to Qin Tong, Qin Tong smiled helplessly after hearing this, and said in a good voice:

"Sir...... Put away my prejudices against Yao'er first, I know that Mr. hates iron and steel, but don't cry poor here, I know that Mr.'s 'Qinlan' is all elite, and the information of Beimang Old Chu will be handed over to Mr. Yaoli...... I will inform the head of the household department and take care of the 'Qin Lan'. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Tong looked at the armored general who had been standing straight, and said with a smile:

"Wei Shangshu also needs to take care of Mr. Yaoli, you are the biggest in the military department, and the key to intelligence does not need me to say more!"

Wei Liao, the most powerful military secretary among the six divisions of the Great Qin Dynasty, heard Qin Tong's words, his body was still stiff, he just nodded lightly and said, "Weichen has the order." ”

If Wei Liao is nervous, that's, he Wei Liao has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and his military exploits are second only to the King of Xiliang, and even his usual diet and daily life are like this, which is not uncommon at this time.

If you get cheap, you will no longer sell well, and if you want to leave Mr. Leave, you will no longer mix with it, and re-read the various books in the imperial study.

Qin Tong looked at the five humerus in front of him who were very heavy in the Great Qin Dynasty and the opposition, in the peaceful and prosperous era, naturally they could not be used, it was more than enough to have the first auxiliary room Dongling and the group of civil officials who were full of social talents, but in the war era, these few people could take out any one of them, and they could be on their own, and at this time, it was difficult not to let Qin Tong have a domineering feeling that the sky was in my hands.

Glancing at Gao Changlu, Qin Tong said with a serious face:

"Teacher, Yao'er's safety is in your hands, you must not make a mistake!"

Gao Changlu bent down slightly, "Miscellaneous family remember." ”

For Qin Yao's safety for the time being, Qin Tong looked at Chen Ping, who had been silent, after all, internal and external troubles were about to arise, and the rebellion of Beimang and Old Chu was still the top priority.

"Xiangzuo, this Four Kings Beijing Meeting, tomorrow is the time to make a strategy, what is your good strategy?"

The other five people in the imperial study, including Mr. Yaoli who had been immersed in the sea of books, all raised their heads, and all ten eyes were looking at Chen Ping who closed his eyes and recuperated.

Chen Ping's narrow eyes seemed to be closed and open, and he was silent for a moment, and then said in a stiff tone:

"Guarding the country is the hardest. ”
