Chapter 31: Secret Conversations in the Camp
Qin Miaoshi held two bright jade plates in her hands, and the long-lost confidence returned to her face, and she began to believe in this piece of curved ruler jade again, although she still didn't know how to use this curved ruler jade, but there was no doubt that she could control Shi Huan.
Lu Youling saw that Shi Huan was like a demon, looking extremely painful, and his heart was suddenly shocked, he saw Qin Miaoshi holding two Yingluo rings, and saw her staring at Shi Huan with torch eyes, so he suspected that it was the two jade plates in her hand that were causing trouble, so he secretly sneaked close to Qin Miaoshi to take the jade plate in her hand, who knew that before he got close, Qin Miaoshi turned his head and stared at him with a pair of eyes that couldn't tell whether they were clear or blurred.
"Don't act rashly, Shi Huan's life is in my hands now. β
"What nonsense are you talking about, don't think that you are very powerful when you take two broken stones, tell you, I am not afraid of anything!"
Seeing that she was discovered, Lu Youling simply broke the jar and broke it, and wanted to rush forward to snatch a Yingluo ring, but before she could touch it, Qin Miaoshi dodged with an arrow. Lu Youling pounced in the air and still didn't give up, and after turning around, the desire was even worse, but when his body turned halfway, the sole of his shoe was suddenly hooked by something, and as soon as his legs were weak, he fell down firmly. And the moment he fell, he saw an incomparably clear face in front of him.
It was a clear but contradictory face, originally a good and lovely child, but with frowning thin eyebrows, warm eyes but revealing surprise, the delicate two red lips were like a moonlit night in the long sky, and the arc of the upper and lower chords perfectly spelled out a circle.
This picture was finally frozen at the last moment before landing, and at this time, Lu Youling recalled that the lovely man who fell down with him was actually the fierce Qin Miaoshi.
"You, you ,......"
"What are you!" Lu Youling's face flushed, and she was scolded by Qin Miaoshi just as she wanted to speak, "Don't look at me with squints, otherwise I'll gouge out your eyeballs!"
"How can I look at you with a squint......"
"Don't quibble, if you hadn't rushed over and tripped over this palace, how could this palace be taken advantage of by you. β
"Hey, big sister, I'm only ten years old, and I think I can do anything to you. β
"Eldest sister, you little ghost is really too hateful, this palace has to torture you personally!"
Lu Youling still wanted to distinguish something for himself, but before he could say anything, he was trapped by the satin sky silk Luo sacrificed by Qin Miaoshi, just like the first day he was captured in Rizhao Kingdom.
"Woo woo......" Lu Youling's mouth was also blocked, and he couldn't shout if he wanted to, he hoped that Shi Huan could save him, but who knew that Shi Huan seemed to have been opened up and jumped up and down in place, and couldn't stop at all.
Qin Miaoshi shook the Yingluo ring in her hand, her eyes revealed a smug smile, and she said to Lu Youling: "Now Shi Huan is difficult to protect himself, no one will come to save you, if I were you, you would obediently follow me." β
"Huh?"
"Aren't you from Yundu? I'll take you to Yundu right now. β
Lu Youling's reaction when she heard this sentence became even more intense, Qin Miaoshi kicked him in the ass, but she was much more honest, Qin Miaoyin witnessed all this and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Sister, Uncle Ke and Brother Amu are both innocent, why do you bother to make a big deal about it? β
"Good sister, don't worry, I've figured it out, killing Lao Ke is really irrelevant, the person I'm looking for is your father, since Amu can communicate with the moon lice beast, I won't kill him, I still have to ask him for psychic skills, are you right?" After speaking, he stretched out his foot and kicked Lu Youling twice, so painful that he swayed his body back and forth, and he didn't forget to curse in his mouth.
"Okay, you can accompany Lao Ke here, I still have important things to do!" Qin Miaoshi took out her Yingluo circle to summon her moon lice again, this time because there was no destruction of Shi Huan, with the sudden change of wind and clouds, after a while, Qin Miaoshi's moon lice beast 'Yue'er' landed nearby, but Yue'er instinctively stared at Shi Huan's position, and after a long time, she leaned down, looking humble and begging.
In the world of moon lice, Shi Huan will always stand on the highest level, there is no doubt about this, Qin Miaoshi suddenly had the idea of going to Yundu, she wanted to take revenge on Qin Tiancang when he had no time to take care of himself because of the war, and Shi Huan is the safest way to win, now although the two pieces of Qu Qi Jade are in their hands, but the conventional psychic does not seem to work, instead of trying to inject the spirit dangerously, it is better to train Amu, a stinky boy, to be as obedient as Yue'er, and obediently work for me, wouldn't it be better!
With this thought, Qin Miaoshi jumped on Yue'er's body, Lu Youling was tied into a zongzi and was carried by Yue'er again, flying farther and farther, Shi Huan's huge body could only be seen on the ground shrinking into a little, Qin Miaoshi secretly swore in her heart: "If you catch Amu, I'm not afraid that you won't follow, sooner or later you will be my Qin Miaoshi's pet!"
At this time, the war has spread to the Meridian Gate, both sides are already short soldiers, all of them are white-hot, Qin Tiancang knew that the time for the infantry to play a role at this time had come, so he ordered the front team to become the rear team, he led the remaining more than 60 soldiers of the vanguard battalion to take the Meridian Square straight to march, Yelu Jinyun contracted the defense, and intended to give way to the Meridian Square to lead Qin Tiancang to raise troops and horses to go deeper, the altar on the Meridian Square is the only way to open the Xuantian Gate, this battle is very important, if there is a loss, the Meridian Altar will be all owned by Rizhao, and that day is also the arrival of the end of the cloud capitalγ
Although Yundu is the end of the strong crossbow, but the flanks have repeatedly failed to succeed, but the army led by Qin Tiancang himself attacked from the front porch of the main hall, all the way to the victory, the guards in the Yundu King City were defeated at the touch of a touch, the moon lice vanguard camp was invincible, and even the follow-up infantry army was greatly boosted.
At this time, Cui Shang was the first to see some clues, and after many years of marching and fighting, he can often subconsciously perceive some things, but it is a pity that Qin Tiancang, the monarch of the Quartet in the same previous years, did not see this, Qin Tiancang has already been eyeing the throne in the Guiyuan Palace, and he is only one step away from completely washing away the hatred of twenty years ago, and Rizhao will eventually be majestic in my hands! Luo Shengguo, hehe, is just a vassal of my Great Rizhao Empire, how can it survive when I let it fall?
Just when Qin Tiancang was still looking at it from afar, Cui Shang came to meet him, Qin Tiancang's face was full of glory, Cui Shang knew at a glance that Qin Tiancang had just finished drinking the spirits, the wine was strong, improvised and drunk, he frowned, and secretly thought to himself: "When the army is marching and fighting, he actually drinks alcohol, and the king is too indulgent himself." β
Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to say anything that was disappointing, but the fact that he was drinking on the march seemed to have hinted that the purpose of his trip would be in vain. However, Cui Shang still wanted to give it a try, so he said in a straight voice: "Do you know what time it is?"
"Now?" Qin Tiancang shook his body and looked up at the sky, and said, "No, no, the sun is in the sky, it's a good omen, it should still be noon." β
"The king can know that the troops are advancing in three directions, and it was originally planned to attack the Meridian Square before the time or the unitary time, which is a great victory, but now that the time has not arrived, our department has successfully attacked the front porch of the square, and the other two departments have been pinned down by the enemy and fallen into a fierce battle, doesn't the king feel that this matter is strange?"
"Cui Shang, Cui Shang, how should Ben Jun say that you are good, when you first entered the city, you said that I should go all out to march into the army, and now that victory is in sight, you have to look forward and stop moving, you look at the team behind you, not a few people, but thousands of soldiers, how many soldiers are left in Yundu now, even if Yelu Jinyun personally goes into battle, it adds up to only 100 people, and with a crowd of 100 people to face the army of tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, it is tantamount to driving tigers and leopards to fight with sheep and dogs, what else does this Jun need to worry about?"
"This ......" Cui Shang instantly became speechless.
Qin Tiancang saw that Cui Shang did not speak, but persuaded him: "Cui Shang acted cautiously and made suggestions for the march, this intention is naturally unattainable, wait until you capture Yelu Jinyun on the Meridian Square, count your first merit, my Rizhao Country has been idle since the death of General Shiguo, the position of general has been idle, this time I will record your first merit, and after capturing Yundu, it will be logical to seal you as the general of Zhendong, and it is good to block the mouth of Youyou, hahaha......"
"Your Excellency, Weichen does not dare to hope for the position of general, this expedition, it is the honor of the subordinate to be reused by the monarch, and he should repay him with death, but the subordinate is shallow in wisdom, and he has failed to offer advice in time when he needs to use it several times, causing the monarch to be suspicious of the subordinate minister, and the suggestions made by the subordinate have fallen on deaf ears. β
"If anything, the reason why this gentleman chose you as my personal staff is that he admires your meticulous handling of things, In the face of danger, it is more important to believe in your personality, you also know that this monarch has been in power for more than ten years, but the court has been wandering around the unfavorable rumors of this monarch, especially the death of the general, there are always rumors that it is not the death of illness, but the monarch murdered him, in this matter, this gentleman knows that you have been standing on the side of this monarch, until the back to marry Zhen Yu, but also you are the one who overcame the criticism of the people for the two elders of the previous dynasty, this monarch can have the opportunity to go to the present with Zhen Yu, although the monarch and you are the relationship between the monarch and the minister, in fact, in the heart of the monarch, you are the brother of the monarch, how can you put forward the suggestion of the monarch to turn a deaf ear?β
"The king's words are really serious, the subordinates just follow the cycle of morality and ethics, and the laws of heaven, and everything they do is for the sake of the eternal life of the Rizhao country, if the king treats me as a brother, then I will say a word that should not be heard. β
Qin Tiancang was half sober, half-squinted his eyes and said, "But it's okay to say it!"
"Your Majesty, the subordinates think that once Yundu is breached, they must not agree to the request of Yundu and the two to support them in establishing a new Yundu Kingdom. These two people are extremely ambitious, and they have been looking at the wolf for a long time, if the new cloud capital is established, I am afraid that the sunshine will not be as peaceful as it is now. Since the two of them are willing to betray their former masters for the sake of power and status, and now they may betray Rizhao again for the sake of power and money, why should we be led by the nose by these two untrustworthy people?"
Qin Tiancang pursed his lips, as if digesting the last bit of wine, and then took a long breath and said: "Brother Cui is reasonable, but this gentleman has made a promise, and he should fulfill his promise, otherwise what will the people of the world think of me Qin Tiancang, if you use people in front and not people behind, how will the world's junjie be willing to come to me Rizhao in the future, not to mention that the prince is still in the hands of Mr. Bai now, if this gentleman does not agree, I am afraid that the delusion will also be more auspicious." β
"Don't worry, my minister, I have thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to prevent the king from losing his trust in the world, but also to let the two of them get a reward that cannot be fulfilled at all. β
Qin Tiancang came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Cui, please speak!"
"The lower minister thinks that this expedition to Yundu, in addition to the shame of the defeat of Yixue twenty years ago, it is more important to find the secret method of cultivating the edge of the Jiali Temple, and now the extreme way is not lacking is dead, the Jiali Temple can be described as a group of dragons without a leader, and the secret method of cultivating the edge may be hidden in the Jiali Temple, if the monarch gives up the Yundu to the two, it is like changing the master of the Yundu, and it is difficult to say whether Rizhao will have the ability to govern the Yundu in the future, Situ Hongyuan and Bai Zixiang are nothing more than the kings and deacons of the Yundu, we can completely give up the territory of the Yundu, and it can be regarded as the king keeping his promiseγ It's just that the Meridian Altar and the Jiali Temple must be burned, and they must not fall into the hands of the two. β
"Brother Cui's words have already been taken into account, so Benjun personally came to take the main gate, just to destroy the meridian altar in secret, it is rumored that there is a jasper in the center of the altar, and the Xuantian Gate can be opened by sprinkling the blood of the children who participated in the sacrifice ceremony, if Benjun captures the meridian square, the first task is to destroy this jasper, so that even if the territory of Yundu is handed over to the two as a reward, it doesn't matter much, and there will never be a person who cultivates in Yundu from now on. β
Cui Shang was relieved, he secretly sighed that all his worries were superfluous, although Qin Tiancang was drinking during the march, it seemed that he was drunk and drunk, but in fact, he had already planned in his heart, and now he had to think about the matter of entering the army carefully. So he spoke: "When the subordinate came in just now, he heard several lieutenants saying that the vanguard battalion had withdrawn to the rear, and the subordinate thought that the decisive battle was imminent, and the last elite of Yundu must be assembled at the entrance of the square, and at this time, the vanguard battalion was withdrawn, and I am afraid that the infantry army would have unnecessary casualties, I don't know if this order is the will of the king?"
"It's really Ben Jun's meaning, Brother Cui doesn't need to make a fuss, Ben Jun is nothing more than letting the moon lice support the other two roads, as Brother Cui is worried, our middle road march is too smooth, Ben Jun is also worried that Yun is deliberately introducing Ben Jun's lone army into their ambush, so the concession army is slowing down, and the vanguard battalion supports the attack of the other two gates, once the two gates are breached, the three road sergeants are still in accordance with the original plan to gather troops in Youshi, so that Yelu Jinyun is not tied up?"
"Your Majesty!" Cui Shang said to Qin Tiancang, "The subordinates are deeply impressed by the king's strategy, at first I was worried that the monarch would get carried away because of the victory, but now it seems that I am completely worried about myself, and the subordinates should not have any doubts about the monarch." β
"Alas, why did Brother Cui say this, it must be that Benjun drank before the battle to make you feel more careful, in fact, Benjun was because he suspended the army, so he had a drink, and he only drank Jun Bu's sake, not a victory and indiscriminate drinking. Our monarchs and ministers work together, and the clouds will definitely be at your fingertips, but now in the heart of this monarch, he has always been deeply anxious about the whereabouts of the delusion, seeing the army coming to the city, but Bai Zixiang has not appeared for a long time, could it be that he is hiding somewhere and waiting to see if it changes?"
"According to Mr. Bai's cautious and cautious style of doing things, it will definitely not appear easily when the current situation is decided, I will send someone to inquire more about the whereabouts of the prince, and inform the king as soon as there is news. β
"Well," Qin Tiancang nodded with a dejected expression, and then remembered something and said, "Situ Hongyuan has a letter?"
"And the letter, but received a report that Jia Shou and Yuan Yan had been killed by Xiao Luo, and the two designed an ambush for Xiao Luo in Fengshendian, but they were killed by Xiao Luo, these two acted impulsively, so there was this disaster, and it was not a pity to die, but Xiao Luo himself had lost his whereabouts, and the subordinate asserted that it might be Situ Hongyuan who had already started in advance. β
"Oh, if Situ Hongyuan meets Xiao Luo, it must be the time when the truth is revealed, Xiao Luo is upright, and he will not be persuaded by Situ Hongyuan, and it is expected that the two will inevitably have a fierce battle. β
"What the king said is very true, and I don't know who is better. β
"Needless to say, it is naturally Situ Hongyuan, after all, he has already had the experience of impacting the realm of 'Tianshou' twice, although he did not succeed, but this attainment should be unsurpassed at the level of 'no delusion', not to mention that he and Bai Zixiang have already studied Xiao Luo's martial arts moves, Xiao Luo will not be able to win no matter what. β
"That being the case, Chong Wanzhong is far away in the sky, and he can't come back to rescue, Yelu Jinyun only has one He Pei left by his side, in order to reduce casualties, the minister's suggestion is to march at night. β
"Okay, this gentleman will march at night according to your wishes, for the sake of safety, once the Yundu Royal City falls into my hands, I will immediately block the east gate to prevent the soldiers and horses of Yutang Mountain from coming back. β
"Yes!"
Cui Shang left after making a move, Qin Tiancang's wine was also completely sober, he looked at the gradual change of the sky, the beginning of the moon, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. Cui Shang is indeed a rare talent, but he is not a person who can take care of his heart, in the end, it is a matter of his own family, how can he be embarrassed to tell Cui Shang, Qin Tiancang is drinking in the army, how can he have nothing to do? It's just that no one can help, it's useless to complain, just borrow a glass of wine to comfort the troubles in your heart, maybe things will take a turn for the better.
Qin Tiancang paced to the window, looking at the deeper and deeper sky, his eyes were uncertain, and he couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "Zhen Yu's illness is really incurable in the world, Cui Shang, Cui Shang, you obviously discovered Dong Taiping's whereabouts, why didn't you invite him here, but let him leave like this, where can I find him now?"
