Chapter 51: Harmony

The third princess waved the three seats in front of her and said, "Three gentlemen, please take a seat and taste the fine wine I brought from the palace." ”

The First Emperor stepped forward to a seat and sat down, and at the same time motioned for Long Ao to sit down as well, but Qin Wen bowed down and thanked him before tidying up his appearance.

The First Emperor poured himself the wine and began to drink it, and after drinking, he couldn't help but comment: "This wine of the Qi Palace is no different, and it is more pure and moist than ordinary wine, and the taste is better." ”

The third princess smiled: "Hehe, Mr. is right, this palace wine is no different, everyone in this world thinks that the palace compound is the best, but I don't know that this palace is sometimes not as good as some families and wealthy merchants, at least they are free, there will not be so many twists and turns." ”

The First Emperor glanced at the third princess deeply, and then said with a smile: "The princess seems to have a lot of complaints about being born in the royal family, which is not good. ”

The third princess looked at the First Emperor and smiled, "What's wrong?" This world is all about interests, especially royal, when the need is high-sounding, and after the matter is completed, it is a rabbit and a dead dog cooking, from ancient times to the present day abounds, such a shallow truth, how can Mr. not know the reason. ”

The First Emperor smiled and said: "Although this is the case, but in the case that you are not enough to influence it, it is better to say less such things, lest someone with a heart listen to it and become a great rebellion, and then it will be more passive." ”

The third princess looked at the maid Ya'er on the side and smiled slightly: "Mr. Xie reminds that Fei'er is here to give Mr. a drink." After speaking, he raised his glass and toasted the First Emperor.

The First Emperor smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, and then drank the wine in the glass.

After that, the third princess saluted Qin Wen and Long Ao again, Qin Wen seemed more enthusiastic, and Long Ao seemed more casual, just because of the first emperor, otherwise Long Ao might not even look at him, the third princess obviously also saw Long Ao's absent-mindedness, and then smiled: "Mr. Long doesn't seem to be very attentive to the little girl, has the little woman offended Mr. ”

Long Ao replied lightly: "The princess is too worried, but her personality has always been like this, if the princess thinks it is inappropriate, Long will leave by herself." ”

The third princess said with a smile: "Where is it, it is a blessing for the little woman to invite Mr. Long to drink together, how can she be dissatisfied, it is a little woman's slip of the tongue, and she should be punished with three cups." After saying that, I really punished myself three times.

The third princess then smiled and said, "I don't know what Mr. Zhao is doing when he comes to Qi Kingdom?" ”

The First Emperor smiled: "It's nothing, play casually, I happened to meet Qin Wen on the Qihuang River, and I followed him to the capital of Qi State." ”

The third princess said with gloomy eyes: "The three of you may not know that the Qin State has already fought the Qihuang River, and now it has occupied both sides of the Qihuang River, the eastern part of the Qi State has been completely lost, and even the central part of the Qi State is also in crisis, and the Qin State is eyeing the enemy, and it is possible to wave an army to attack the Qi State at any time." ”

The First Emperor was slightly stunned, and Qin Wen was shocked: "How can this be, although the Qin army broke through Yongcheng on the way to the national capital, but the Qihuang River has not been lost, how can it be that even the two banks of the Qihuang River have been lost after only a few days?" ”

The third princess said gloomily: "Sir doesn't know, General Lin Ran retreated to the Qihuang River in defeat, originally with the 70,000 troops in the hands of the general plus the defenders of the Qihuang River, there were also 100,000 troops, but the military supplies encountered a storm when crossing the river, and all the armaments and materials of the defenders were sunk into the river, which led to the defeat of the defenders without food. ”

The First Emperor frowned, while Qin Wen shouted: "This is impossible, the weather was still sunny when I came from the Qihuang River, how could there be a storm for no reason, this is impossible." ”

The third princess said: "The three gentlemen may not believe it, but this storm is quite unusual. ”

The First Emperor asked, "What is unusual?" ”

The third princess said: "According to the soldiers who transported the grain at that time, someone saw the sky and seemed to see the dragon, but there is no way to investigate this matter, although it is said that there is a dragon in the world, but no one has seen it, so it is mostly a rumor, not credible, but this storm is too abnormal, it is not surprising that there are rumors, it may be that someone wants to take this opportunity to create an incident." ”

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and the first emperor remembered that when he first turned into a dragon, he was at the Qihuang River ferry, not far from the military camp of the Qi army.

Although the First Emperor was guessing, he thought he had the answer in his heart, every time the dragon appeared, it was accompanied by a violent storm, this was the dragon's instinct, Si Yu, to control the weather, and the First Emperor was the first time to turn into a dragon, and he had not yet reached the fourth layer of the dragon secret method, so he had no way to control his instincts, so he caused such an oolong to come out.

Long Ao also looked at the First Emperor, seeing that the First Emperor's expression was different, he immediately guessed that the dragon that the soldier saw at that time must be the First Emperor, Long Ao saw this and hurriedly lowered his head to drink, as the first emperor's personal guard, and one of the very few people who learned that the first emperor could turn into a dragon, he had to be careful anytime and anywhere, even if it was a little bit of a small expression, he had to be careful, he had to know that the companion was like a tiger, not to mention that the first emperor was not only as simple as a tiger.

The First Emperor hid his expression very well, except for the changes at the beginning, now it is normal, the First Emperor smiled: "This is the will of heaven, and it is no wonder that others, now that the Qin army occupies both sides of the Qihuang River, I don't know what the next plan of the Qi State is." ”

The third princess shook her head and said, "The ministers of the court and the emperor are still discussing, and I am also bored in my heart to come to this Renyun Inn to relieve my boredom." ”

The First Emperor smiled: "I'm afraid that the princess didn't come to this inn just for the discussion of the ministers, I guess this discussion should be related to the princess." ”

The third princess was slightly stunned and then said with a wry smile: "Mr. is really talented, it can be seen so easily, yes, there are people in the court who advocate peace." Although I was suppressed by my father, it was just because of the military power in my hands that I didn't dare to be tough, but I could see that my father was also biased towards this. ”

The First Emperor smiled slightly: "Hehe, I'm afraid that even if the princess is willing, I think that the Qin State may not be willing to agree, you must know that the Qin State now has an advantage, if you want to make peace and achieve peace, you must defeat the Qin State, even if you can't defeat it, it must make the Qin State unable to go one step further." ”

The third princess glanced at the First Emperor with admiration and said: "That's right, General Lin Ran and the Prime Minister also think so, so they don't approve of harmony, and General Lin Ran even released words to block the Qin army on the bank of the Qihe River, but I know that if it succeeds, my father will still send me and my relatives to Qin State." ”

Qin Wen said in disbelief: "How can this be, if you win the battle, you still have to be friendly, isn't this a slap in the face?" ”

The first emperor smiled: "Hehe, I think the reason why Lin Ran released to block the Qin army on the bank of the Qi Yellow River must be because the Qin army is not familiar with the terrain, and the Qi army is backed by the imperial city military supplies do not need to worry, this is a war of attrition, the fight is the supply of military supplies, the Qin army is far away, and the Qi army is ready to go, and the high and low judgment, but this is not a long-term solution, once the Qin army eases up, the Qi army will be defeated, and after the victory, it must be peaceful, and to cut the land to seek peace, in order to ask the Qi country to slow down." ”

The third princess nodded and said, "What the gentleman said is good, and the prime minister also thinks so." ”

Qin Wen said: "Hey! I didn't expect that my Qi had reached such a point, but even so, the threat of Qin to Qi still existed, and the real way to do it once and for all was to drive Qin out of the Qihuang River and back to the east, so that Qin's threat could really be stopped. ”

The third princess sighed slightly: "This matter is not easy to say, the Qin army is strong, the Qi country is weak, it is difficult to defeat the strong with the weak." ”

Qin Wendao: "I Qi but reconcile with Xia, and then unite with the Chu State, the Three Kingdoms have a chance to win against Qin, but Your Majesty seems to still have hostility towards Xia, to let Your Majesty let go of your hostility to Xia, this is the top priority of this crisis, I have heard on the way to Xia sent envoys to my Qi State, to put aside grievances with me, and unite to fight against Qin, but Your Majesty does not see if." ”

The third princess sighed slightly: "This is indeed the case, hey! I don't know why my father is so hostile to the Xia Kingdom, and even the country and society are ignored. ”

Qin Wen also sighed slightly, and the first emperor drank silently, not like insertion at all, this meal of wine was quite enjoyable, the third princess gave each of the three a waist card, with this card you can go to the princess's mansion to find her, and the three of them took it and went back to rest.

In the courtyard, the first emperor looked at the scenery in the courtyard and said: "This Qi country is really interesting, the eldest prince and the second prince fought for the throne to the death, and the high-ranking monarch of the Qi country only wanted to destroy the Xia country, even if he knew that he couldn't do it, and this third princess, she should be the most transparent one, but for the daughter, she was also calculated by the Qin country and relatives, hehe, such a Qi country, I Qin, will replace it." ”

Long Ao said: "Your Majesty, the three princesses don't seem to be simple, do you need to go." Long Ao made a gesture of slashing his neck.

The First Emperor smiled and waved his hand and said: "Hehe, there is no need to be so, I am very interested in this princess, as a woman, but I have the courage and strategy to not lose a man, I am so arrogant at the banquet, she is not angry, on the contrary, I still have a good courtesy, which shows that this person is either broad-minded, or the city is very deep, but no matter what kind of woman she is, as long as she is a woman, she can't escape the fate of being conquered, the fate of being conquered by me." "The First Emperor is obviously interested in the Third Princess, and this is purely a man's interest in a woman.

Long Ao also saw this and said, "Then Your Majesty means..."

The first emperor waved his hand and said: "Don't care about her first, now that I have arrived in this Qi country, I must have something to gain, tonight's auction will be an opportunity, even the three princesses of Qi will participate, then it means that the eldest prince and the second prince of Qi will also participate, and what I did before should also work, the second prince of Qi country, hehe, let me come and play with your royal family of Qi country." ”
