Fuling, Zheyingchong

Qin Sheng woke up slowly, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Yutan holding a bowl of water. Seeing that he woke up, his face was full of surprise.

He was stunned at first, and then confused. Zhao Yutan? Why was she here?

And he actually fell down the mountain stream? And he seemed to have fainted?

Qin Sheng found it unbelievable, he had always been able to turn misfortune into fortune, this kind of bad luck that even drinking water would get stuck in his teeth was something he hadn't experienced for a long time.

"Where is this place?" Qin Sheng's words were somewhat like talking to himself, not a question.

"Broken Eagle Charge."

Hearing this, Qin Sheng frowned. Zheyingchong? What an unlucky name.

Qin Sheng struggled to stand up, covering his left arm, and walked out while enduring the pain from the wound on his body.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Yutan asked behind him.

Qin Sheng ignored her.

"I saved you!" Zhao Yutan said loudly.

Qin Sheng thought, save him? He needs her to save him?

"Didn't you hear me? I saved you!"

"So what? You can choose not to save him!" Qin Sheng looked around, looking for a way out.

This answer is a bit stifling.

Zhao Yutan said excitedly, "Qin Sheng, do you know? If it weren't for me, you would have died in Zheyingchong."

Qin Sheng remained silent. Thinking of his current extremely bad luck, he felt a little uncertain.

"You know what? I had a dream. In the dream, there were no twists and turns between us, and we got married naturally."

"You and I became husband and wife, and then the Qin family was exiled, and I went with them. You took good care of me along the way."

"In my dream, the Qin family also rebelled, and in the end it was your eldest brother who led the army back to Chang'an and ascended the throne as emperor..."

Zhao Yutan kept talking, but Qin Sheng didn't take it seriously until he heard the last sentence. Although Zhao Yutan avoided the main point, Qin Sheng knew his elder brother very well. If the Qin family hadn't suffered a heavy blow and his elder brother couldn't bear it, he would definitely not rebel.

So, what exactly happened to the Qin family?

Qin Sheng recalled the journey of exile. It was winter when the Qin family was taken to prison. It was freezing cold. My third sister-in-law had just given birth. Thanks to the help of my father-in-law and his family, the Qin family was able to be exiled to Pingzhou intact. Not to mention the various difficulties they encountered along the way.

He had personally experienced the nearly 3,000-mile exile journey with his family, and he and his brothers had a deep understanding of the difficulties. He could not deceive himself into thinking that the Qin family could arrive in Pingzhou intact. Moreover, after arriving in Pingzhou, without his wife's planning, their Qin family would definitely be ravaged by the cruel officials in the exile area, and the women and children would definitely suffer.

After figuring this out, Qin Sheng's heart sank.

At this time, Zhao Yutan tried to get closer to Qin Sheng, "...Qin Sheng, you know what? We are the perfect match, while Lu Songli and Xie Zhan are another match."

Qin Sheng couldn't stand hearing such words, and he didn't even bother to look at her. What nonsense was she talking about? She said, he didn't have a wife at such an age? And their lovely daughter...

"Qin Sheng, you should turn back from your mistakes!"

"If I remember correctly, you were the one who despised me and set up the trap. In the end, Queen Mother Ye forced the four of us to marry each other again." Qin Sheng narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the point of saying this now? You don't still want to be with me, okay?"

Zhao Yutan murmured, "I was wrong at the beginning. But I think we should all set things right."

Qin Sheng was amused and said sarcastically, "Set things right? Do you think you can be compared with my wife Lu Songli?"

Zhao Yutan retorted excitedly, "In the dream, your eldest brother rebelled and was also successful. What Lu Songli has achieved now is only due to the glory of your Qin family." She was always unwilling to admit Lu Songli's excellence.

Qin Sheng was too lazy to argue with her. His wife once said that no one can wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

"Don't you believe what I said about setting things right? Lu Songli is the biggest surprise in everyone's life trajectory, but this time she will definitely die." Zhao Yutan was the one who knew Xie Zhan's plan.

Qin Sheng got some information from her words and reacted violently, "What did you say?!"

Zhao Yutan didn't hide it anymore, "It's okay to tell you. Xie Zhan used you as bait to set up a deadly trap to capture Lu Songli."

Qin Sheng was horrified, "Tell me, where is it?"

Zhao Yutan didn't want to see him like this, "Qin Sheng, wake up, now is not the time to be sentimental! Once Lu Songli dies, Pingzhou will definitely change. What you should do now is to take precautions."

Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Qin Sheng decided not to waste time and turned to walk out of the cave. If Xie Zhan used him as bait to lure his wife here, then the news would definitely not be kept secret. He only needed to go out and inquire, and he would definitely be able to find out.

Just then, a group of guards walked in from the cave entrance.

Zhao Yutan looked at the leader and asked in surprise, "Fan Yang, it's you? Why are you here?"

Zhao Yutan looked at this scene in shock. It was obvious that her whereabouts were concealed very well.

Fan Yang didn't say much, but said, "Madam, please——"

"You--" Zhao Yutan said angrily. Fan Yang directly asked him to leave, obviously without giving any explanation.

Fan Yang gestured to her again, asking her to leave, while at the same time being on guard against Qin Sheng suddenly taking Zhao Yutan as hostage.

Qin Sheng never moved.

Zhao Yutan looked at both sides, especially seeing that Qin Sheng was unmoved, she walked out disappointedly.

When Fan Yang appeared with a team of guards, Qin Sheng knew that he was going to have to fight a tough battle, so as soon as Zhao Yutan left, he started fighting.

In less than half an hour, the cave was filled with people or corpses.

Qin Sheng ignored his bleeding wound and came out of the cave. He saw a lot of horses tied not far from the cave entrance.

He ignored Zhao Yutan's shouts, took one of the horses, climbed on the horse, and immediately rushed to the place where he was forced to confess - Fengdu, Fuling.

……

On this day, Lu Songli arrived at the camp set up by the Pingzhou army in Yizhou.

Seeing that she really came, Qin Heng came to greet her in military uniform, and knelt on one knee half a meter away from her, "I pay my respects to the governor."

The rest of the people also knelt down to greet Lu Songli, "Your subordinate greets the governor."

"Everyone, get up."

After Qin Heng stood up, he was still feeling uneasy.

Recently, a rumor has been circulating in Dali.

The original Pingzhou regime was established on the basis of the Qin and Lu families.

But now in Pingzhou, people only know Lu Songli and the Lu family, but not Qin Sheng and the Qin family, and there are loud voices calling for Lu Songli to establish a country and ascend the throne.

Now that Lu Songli has a noble status, she would definitely not take risks for anyone.

Qin Heng knew that this was a trick of the enemy and that the other party was trying to sow discord, but since it involved Xiaoliu, he was still worried.

In fact, he had guessed that his sixth brother's wife would come, but when he saw her really coming, he was still shocked.

She is now the head of a state and controls most of China, but she is still willing to risk her life for Xiaoliu.

He will always remember this.

Lu Songli's arrival not only deeply moved Qin Heng, but also shocked the entire Pingzhou army camp.

"Governor, I will accompany you to accept Xie Zhan's invitation." Qin Heng thought to himself, no matter what this time, even if it costs his life, he must protect her.

"No need." Lu Songli rejected his proposal, "Brother, don't put all your eggs in one basket. If anything unexpected happens next, Pingzhou will be in your hands, and the Qin and Lu families will also be in your hands."

Hearing this, Qin Heng's heart tightened, his eyes were stunned, "Sixth brother's wife——"

Lu Songli waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.

Qin Heng quickly calmed down and said, "Don't worry, Governor. We have made arrangements around Luming Terrace. We will not put your life in danger."

"Okay, I believe you."

When Lu Songli accepted Xie Zhan's invitation and came to Fuling, Yizhou, Qin Heng sent someone to negotiate with Xie Zhan.

If their governor came to Fuling, he would die, and Pingzhou would never agree.

Lu Songli's willingness to come to Fuling was considered as an agreement to Xie Zhan's request. His previous implicit threat had worked, and he could no longer make any other requests.

So, next, both sides will control the venue and start another round.

Xie Zhan agreed to Pingzhou's request for control and gave half of the land around the meeting place, Lumingtai, to Pingzhou, allowing them to make their own arrangements.

Time soon arrived and it was May 18th, the day of the meeting.

Lumingtai is located on a slope, with two roads paved with bluestone slabs, one east and one west.

To the west, Xie Zhan, dressed in the black and gold official uniform of the Regent, strode up to the high pavilion.

Lu Songli was wearing a scarlet official uniform, holding up the hem of her skirt with her bare hands, and walked up the stairs along the east road.

From the perspective of bystanders such as Qin Heng, they could see the two people walking towards Lumingtai on the hillside along two roads, one east and one west.
