Chapter 142: A Prophecy
Since the purpose of staying here has been achieved, Zhou Yu has no reason to continue, he immediately informed the people in Qianguo, saying that Her Royal Highness the princess is in good health and can set off on the road tomorrow and rush to Qianzhou.
The officials of Qianguo would never have dreamed that Zhou Yu would come here not to make peace, but to dig the foot of the wall. Besides, who would have expected that Zhou Yu would specially train a special force for this?
The journey to Qianzhou was not too far, and everyone arrived after resting in the post house for one night.
Qianzhou is not far from Yizhou, the capital of Qianguo, and it will be three to five days away at most.
Chen Ruolan waited left and right, but she didn't wait for Zhou Yu's explanation and explanation, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and planned to rush to Zhou Yu's room to ask him what kind of reputation he was doing.
As soon as she walked to the door of Zhou Yu's room, she heard Zhou Yu explaining things to someone: "Since the water situation in this section has been figured out, it is necessary to prepare to detect the next section. Once the command center of the Qianguo is destroyed, the army of the Qianguo will inevitably be in chaos without a fight, and then the army of our country will carry an invincible might and break the cadres like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and it will surely win a great victory!"
When Chen Ruolan heard this, she almost screamed, so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth, but this small movement was still captured by Zhou Yu.
"Who?!" Zhou Yu pulled out his sword from his waist in an instant, and opened the door at the same time, and the blade of the sword was not far from Chen Ruolan's throat.
After seeing the other party's face clearly, Zhou Yu quickly put away his sword and complained, "Why are you eavesdropping on us outside the door?"
Yu Jing and Song Qi, who were still in the room, saw Chen Ruolan's arrival, and felt that the scene was a little embarrassing, so they simply left Zhou Yu alone to deal with it: "Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lord Zhou, retire from the inferior rank!" After the two finished speaking, they ran away without looking back, for fear of being called back again.
Zhou Yu took Chen Ruolan into the room, carefully looked at whether there were other people around to eavesdrop, and then cautiously closed the door.
"You want to go to war against the Qianguo?" Chen Ruolan immediately asked, "This is the arrangement you said?"
"Not yet, I'm just arranging this to prepare for a future war between the two countries. In the past, the confrontation between the civilian and Qianguo armies was north of the Yangtze River, and our Wenguo Naval Division could not directly confront the Qianguo Naval Division, so the battlefield was limited. This time, we have finally reached the south of the Yangtze River, so naturally we should take this opportunity to find out the situation in case of war." Zhou Yu explained.
"The two countries want to go to war? So what am I doing here?" Chen Ruolan obviously didn't understand Zhou Yu's words.
"It will be later, but not now. Besides, I'm not the only one who doesn't want to succeed in making peace with each other, there are a lot of assassinations along the way, and Wang Cheng's old thing has long been looking forward to your death!" Zhou Yu said.
"Assassination? How did I not know that someone was going to assassinate me?" Chen Ruolan carefully recalled the passage along the way, and it seemed that the wind and waves were calm, and there was no sign of assassination.
"Please, that's the people I arranged for to find the assassins in time and kill them, otherwise how could you sleep peacefully every day? Let me tell you the truth, as of today, the Mission has encountered more Assassins than I can count on one hand!" Zhou Yu glanced at her and said.
"Then you didn't catch the assassin and ask who sent him?" Chen Ruolan was unconvinced.
"I caught two, one bit his tongue and killed himself, and the other took poison and died, both of them were dead soldiers, and there was no room for them to live." Zhou Yu said lightly.
Chen Ruolan had nothing to say at this time, only high-level powerful families could cultivate dead soldiers, so it can be seen that the people who sent assassins were by no means idle people.
"What are we going to do next?" Chen Ruolan asked. When he was in the palace, he could ask Emperor Wen if he was undecided, but now that he was out of the house, he could only ask Zhou Yu if he was undecided.
"I'm going to Yizhou in two days, I'm afraid the situation there will be even more dangerous than now, you have to be prepared." Zhou Yu reminded.
"Yizhou is the capital of the Qianguo, why do you say it like a bandit?" Chen Ruolan said with some disbelieving.
"You think that you and I are the only ones who don't want to make peace
Person? As a matter of fact, there are quite a few people in Qianguo who oppose this matter, but there are just people who are pushing this matter behind the scenes. If what I expected is right, it should be the Emperor." Zhou Yu said while tidying up the items on the table.
"Since Qianguo is not willing to make peace, then why does Emperor Qianhuang want to promote this?" Chen Ruolan turned on the curious baby mode again.
"You must have heard of the three advantages and three disadvantages of the harmony I displayed on the top of the main hall, right?" Zhou Yu looked at Chen Ruolan and asked.
"Of course, at that time, you also asked the prime minister in public not to come to the stage, I'm afraid everyone in the court knows about this, right?" Chen Ruolan said with a smile.
"It's all off topic, the point is to state the pros and cons. This is the case with my great text, and it will be the same with Qianguo. The Qianhuang must have made his decision after carefully weighing the pros and cons of the matter of making peace with each other, that is to say, the Qianguo side also believes that the advantages of making peace at present outweigh the disadvantages." Zhou Yu pulled the topic back.
"Oh? How so?" Chen Ruolan couldn't stop listening to the analysis.
"Let's talk about the most critical thing, this plan for harmony was negotiated between Wang Cheng and the minister of Qianguo, because there is no princess to be married in Qianguo, only a prince who has not yet married, so it must be my Dawen's woman who married to Qianguo. It just so happens that there is only one marriageable princess in my Wenguo, and that is Chen Ruolan, the princess of Changle, so it is natural that you will be chosen as the person who is close to you. You are Your Majesty's own flesh and blood, and if you go to Qianguo, if Wenguo wants to wage war against Qianguo in the future, you must consider your safety. Emperor Qianhuang expected that this would make us a rat bogeyman, so he agreed to the plan of harmony. But that's just one of the reasons, but it's probably also the more important one." Zhou Yu said.
"But now that we have arrived in Qianguo, and we are about to arrive in Yizhou City, how can we get out?" After listening to Zhou Yu's analysis, Chen Ruolan became anxious.
"If you muddy the waters, you'll be able to get out. If I can't do it, I'll go and kill that poor and pathetic prince of Qianguo, so you don't have to marry him." Zhou Yu's words in the first half are true, because he is indeed ready to mess up the situation; But the second half of the sentence is a bit of a joke, this kind of approach is a good idea, and it is easy not to act like this.
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Chen Ruolan thought that Zhou Yu was serious, and hurriedly dissuaded him: "This is not good! There must be an escort by the side of the prince of Qianguo, just like Xiao Jin!"
"That's okay, Yang Chuan is not my opponent now, it's more than enough to kill the prince of the Qianguo!" Zhou Yu said and pulled out his saber to admire it.
But in Chen Ruolan's view, this was a precursor to Zhou Yu's determination to go alone to carry out the assassination plan, she was so frightened that she hugged Zhou Yu's arm, and was so anxious that she almost wanted to cry: "No, you are not allowed to go!" If you have three longs and two shorts, who will take me back to the capital?"
Zhou Yu was also confused by Chen Ruolan's "sudden outburst", he looked at Chen Ruolan with some confusion and said, "I'm just talking, I don't plan to go yet......
Chen Ruolan's hand holding her was in the air, and then slowly let go. Realizing that she had been tricked, Chen Ruolan suddenly lost her breath, her chest rose and fell again and again, and she shouted, "Come on! People!"
The two guards hurriedly rushed into the room, and saw Her Royal Highness the princess with an angry face and a bewildered face of the ambassador.
"Drag Zhou Yu down and beat twenty military sticks!" Chen Ruolan closed her eyes, pointed to the door with her finger, and said angrily.
The two guards made a difficulty, on one side was the noble princess, and on the other side was their own top boss, no one could afford to offend, so both of them were stunned in place and did not act for a while.
"Why, what Princess Ben said doesn't work, does it? I told you to drag this bastard down and beat him with twenty sticks, didn't you hear?" Chen Ruolan's anger was even stronger.
Zhou Yu is very innocent, he doesn't know how he offended this aunt, but if he is not dragged out of this door today, Chen Ruolan will definitely not be able to extinguish the fire. So he gave the two guards a look and motioned for them to do as Chen Ruolan said. The two guards immediately understood and jointly carried Zhou Yu out.
After going out, the guard asked Zhou Yu in a low voice, "My lord, what should I do now, I can't really beat you, right?"
"You should normally
You should have practiced that technique, right? Just follow your training." Zhou Yu said.
There are some of these arts that are unknown to others when it comes to baton striking. For example, how to hit so that people can hurt the most; Or how to fight to look heavy, but in fact there is no injury at all, this is all something that needs to be practiced.
Chen Ruolan's order was so loud that many people heard it, and some even guessed that Zhou Yu might have acted lightly, which caused the princess to be punished so heavily.
Soon, Zhou Yu was escorted to the stick bed, and the military stick in the guard's hand hit Zhou Yu's ass again and again, which looked very hard, but it was actually extremely easy.
Chen Ruolan also chased out, and the two guards only beat them with less than ten sticks, and Chen Ruolan spoke: "Stop! That's it, let him have a long memory!"
Zhou Yu still didn't understand why he had a long memory......
This night, Zhou Yu didn't suffer a lot of beatings, but there were a lot of people watching the excitement. Many people are talking about the reason why the ambassador was punished by Her Royal Highness the princess, and the most outrageous version is that Zhou Yu stunned Chen Ruolan in the room and wanted to do something wrong, but he never thought that His Royal Highness the princess would wake up early, so he shouted for help.
Zhou Yu himself didn't expect that when Chen Ruolan said that she wanted to use this method to plant him, she would turn it into a prophecy and beat him crookedly!
Of course, these are all private discussions among the guards, and Zhou Yu's prestige as the tactical commander of the two special operations battalions is still very high, mainly because his training plan is very effective.
"What's going on here? How many talents are available?" Zhou Yu asked.
"Do you want to invite two of them who are from the fifth rank and one who is from the fourth grade?" Yu Jing replied.
"What is the identity of that Zheng Sipin?"
"The former Qianguo Minister's Servant!"
