Chapter 100 Eat a meal

Bai Luo looked at the bright eyes of the little putao, sighed, and patted the top of the little girl's head with her cold hands.

Little Putao put A Niang's hand on his warm face, and there was still a naive smile on his face.

Winter goes and spring comes again.

Five, nine, six and nine look at willows along the river, seven or nine when the river opens, eight wine and swallows come.

Spring is cold.However, the Zhou people's ambition to annex the entire Eastern Wilderness is still hot.Everyone knew that sooner or later, Zhou Ren would break his face with Qingqiu.But although the other countries in the Eastern Wilderness have been wiped out, their remnants of the army are still running around and making chaos.Uprisings of various ethnic groups also broke out one after another.The people of Zhou were busy suppressing these remnants of forces, so they never cared about taking care of Qingqiu. The peace of Qingqiu country was so fragile and stable.

It's just that, as time went by, these recruitments by the rebels were suppressed.Up to now, the only one that can be called large-scale is the army under Xiang Liche, the eldest prince of Tushan who survived the battle of the old city.

One day, another spy came to report.

According to the spies, Xiang Liche, the prince of Tushan, suffered a crushing defeat in Jiannanchuan, the hometown of Qingqiu. It is said that more than half of Tushan's rebel army led by him was wiped out, and his vitality was seriously injured.

Bai Luo was sitting by the fire, holding a Tang Pozi in his hand.Wen Yan only slightly raised his eyelids and said hello.

When the spies retreated, she called Qiu Shui, the close female officer, to come over, and whispered: "Hurry up and send a letter to Xiang Liche, asking about his current situation."

Qiu Shui nodded and trotted down.

This Qiushui girl can also cast spells.She drew a formation, folded a white dove with white paper, and wrote on it the content of greeting Xiangliche in her own name.Immediately afterwards, the formation was activated and the white pigeon was thrown into the fire.A wisp of blue smoke drifted out from the fire and drifted westward along the spring wind.

Two or three hours later, Xiang Liche wrote back.The same blue smoke floated in along the window and circled above the formation.

Qiu Shui spread a piece of white paper in the center of the array.Green smoke fell down immediately, hovering over the white paper.After circling for a long time, it dispersed gently, only to see eight large characters appearing on the white paper.

"As you said, don't be optimistic."

Qiu Shui showed this piece of paper to Bai Luo.Bai Luo just looked at it, and rubbed his temples with his fingers after reading.

She exhaled slowly.

"Qiu Shui, you said that to him.

Fifteen days later, Yuejun led his troops to Laolong Pass in Qingqiu to make a statement. "

Qingqiu Laolongguan is a coastal fortress at the northeast end of Qingqiu Kingdom.It was stationed there all the year round with a batch of top warships built by the Kingdom of Qingqiu with the top shipbuilding technology in East Asia at that time.

According to Qiushui's words, he sent a message to Xiang Liche with a paper crane.Xiangliche may have been in a hurry to escape, and he didn't return to Qiushui all day.At noon on the second day, a wisp of green smoke came slowly.

"promise."

When Bai Luo heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl Qiushui said naively: "This man is also courageous. He dares to come if you let him come. Isn't he afraid that His Majesty will collude with the Zhou people's army to take him away?"

Bai Luo smiled and shook his head.

"They are just a wandering army without a base. If it weren't for our support, it would be impossible to survive until now. Now that they are gone, I am afraid that the only one who can trust us is us. Xiang Liche is in other places Waiting to die, it's better to gamble that we will really help him. If I were Xiang Liche, I think I would do the same."

Qiu Shui oh oh repeatedly.

Bai Luo stretched out his cold hands to warm the charcoal fire.Now that the weather is getting warmer, the young and strong Qiu Shui has already put on a thin jacket, but Bai Luo is still hugging a thick fox fur and roasting by charcoal fire all day long.The roasted autumn water is often hot for her, but she herself is still shivering from the cold all day long.

Bai Luo gently rubbed between his brows again.

"We relied on secretly supporting them to fight to attract the attention of the Zhou people, in exchange for such a short-lived peace. They took the food, grass and silver that we secretly supported in exchange for a dream of restoring the country with all practicality. Thinking about it this way, this business In fact, it is very fair. However, it is time for this business to come to an end."

..................................................................

The evening after fourteen days.

Bai Luo recruited three of his most trusted officials, one with both papers and two weapons - one is the Minister of Industry, Yuan Tushan Linghu Opera Troupe Zhang Zhangsan, who is currently in charge of the economy, and the other two, one is bean sprouts Zhang Baiquan, and the other is a handsome young man Wang Jiu.

Bai Luo treated them to a meal.

There are three people, each with a small bronze table, each with a leg of lamb and a chicken, and a glass of wine.

The imperial dining room also specially prepared half a spicy radish for Bai Luo.In ancient times, there were no carrots, so Bai Luo had no choice but to eat spicy radishes to enjoy himself.

All four went to the table.With a soft smile on Bai Luo's face, he said, "I've come to you today for no other reason than to chat with you and tell a story."

Zhang Baiquan said: "Your Majesty, please speak, we are all ears!"

Bai Luo smiled and opened his lips.

"You also know that many years ago, I was forced to live as a young disciple of Priest Tushan Ziyuan.

Before I joined him, I knew a child.This child, like me, is also of noble origin, a descendant of a certain Qingqiu civil servant.

But you may not know.In the battle when Tu Shan broke through our Qingqiu capital many years ago, Priest Ziyuan was also a forward general, and he was one of the chief culprits who caused Qingqiu to destroy our country.

At that time, Priest Ziyuan picked a few of us with better qualifications among our group of little beggars, including me and him.

When the child's father learned of the incident, he made a big fuss.

He pointed at the child's nose and scolded him, saying that if you dare to worship the old priest, don't blame me for not recognizing your son in the future.

For the sake of integrity and hatred, that child could not worship under the old priest's sect.But it was freezing cold at that time, our group of children didn't have enough food and clothing, and the child was still injured at the time.If he doesn't fall into the old priest's door, he can only die.

The kid was in a hurry.He has always been very sensible and has a good relationship with his father.He hated Priest Ziyuan.But with such a good chance of survival in front of him, he had no choice but to cherish it.

So now, I will come up with a question to test you.Think about it differently, if you were the children at that time, would you choose to worship under the priest Ziyuan? "

After Bai Luo finished speaking, he picked up his wine glass and drank several mouthfuls of spirits.The hot wine slid down his throat and into his stomach, warming his whole body.

The three people below looked at each other.

After a while, Zhang Baiquan was the first to speak.

"Then I also pay my respects. In fact, the deceased is gone. For the living, perhaps survival is the most important thing. Your Majesty, this is not in the court, so I will say it directly if I have anything to say.

To be honest, in the face of survival, all integrity and hatred are empty.Survival is the most important thing.I'm not afraid of Your Majesty's jokes. I think I liked not to do my job back then, and my father would often point at my nose and scold me for being worthless.At the time when he scolded me the most, my father also told me that he did not have a son like me.

But later, when I became such a high-ranking official in Qingqiu, my father was always proud of me, and never mentioned the matter of denying me back then.Hahaha, actually, sometimes parents just like to talk harsh words.When we do things by ourselves, we just need to be clear of our conscience. "
