Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Chapter 647: Public

November.

Lord Zhou personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses from Yuzhou, and set up camp ten miles outside Liyang City. It is said that the camp stretched for more than 20 miles from east to west.

Faced with the covetous Zhou army, everyone in Liyang, whether it was the officers and soldiers who were fighting or the civilians who were defending the city, were sweating with fear.

Liyang City is not only the gateway to Jin Ye, but also where the remaining main forces of the Qi army gather.

Everyone knows that the battle of Liyang is crucial. If the city is broken, what will Qi State face?

Therefore, everyone in the court of Jin Ye was terrified and waited for urgent documents from the front line every day.

Similarly, Yuwen Jue also attached great importance to this battle. He planned to have Gong Liangrui command the main attack, and sent Gong Xijin and Xiao Jingnan to assist. As for him, he would personally go to the city to supervise the battle.

……

Liang Qian, dressed in plain clothes, had just come out of the tent with the boiled medicine, when she discovered that fine snow particles were floating in the sky.

There were soldiers training in an open space not far away, so she stopped to take a look.

The weather was getting colder day by day. Yuwen Jue wanted to end the battle quickly, so she naturally supported him.

There is a method to winning a quick battle.

Thinking of Liyang City, Liang Qian did not delay any longer and went straight to the big tent.

Someone was chasing us from behind.

"Madam, I'd better let this servant go with you."

Liang Qian smiled and said, "It's okay. It's only a few steps away. Nothing will happen. Just go with them to the prisoner-of-war camp to distribute medicine."

Since arriving in Yuezhou, Qingzhu has followed her almost every step of the way.

Liang Qian knew clearly that Yuwen Jue was worried about her safety.

"I wanted to go to the prisoner-of-war camp myself, but now I remember that I have something to discuss with him and I am a little busy. I have to ask you to go there for me. When you come back, tell me the details of the situation."

Hearing her say this, Qingzhu nodded. "Yes."

Liang Qian carried the Yao Pan to the main tent, thinking that they should have finished their discussion by now.

Along the way, all the soldiers they met, whether strangers or familiar, greeted them, and Liang Qian also smiled back.

When she first saw him, she felt strange and asked Yuwen Jue about it, but he just smiled and didn't answer her. He only told her other things. It was not until he accidentally mentioned it to Xiao Qianyi that she knew the truth.

Ever since Zhao Heng revealed her identity in public on the streets of Pingwu, it was no longer a secret to the Zhou army's soldiers that Queen Mother Liang of Qi had surrendered to the King of Zhou.

When everyone was discussing privately, a general revealed that Liang was the female doctor who shouted "Teacher, Imperial Physician" in Yuezhou City that day and who went in and out with the lord.

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

There were also people who spoke to General Yuchi who said that Liang was actually a spy secretly cultivated by the Zhou State in the Qi State. In order to avoid being discovered, he had been lurking in Qi for many years, intending to confuse the King of Qi and take the opportunity to steal important information.

Now he appears in front of people without any hesitation only because his true identity has been revealed by the people of Qi and he can no longer do anything secretive, otherwise how could he be so calm?

Now the lord brings her by his side on the march, not only because of her excellent medical skills and her extensive knowledge of Qi's court affairs, but also because she wants to secretly lobby and persuade Qi's generals and officials to surrender.

When this was said, some were surprised and some were suspicious.

However, there are people who have had contact with Liang, who testified that Liang helped Zhou Jun capture Pingwu a month ago, and then saw through the conspiracy between Qi General Lu Mingye and Yuzhou Governor, not only luring Lu Mingye into a trap, but also shooting him dead in public, and successfully occupied Yuzhou...

Many soldiers who participated in the incident echoed this, saying that they had seen it with their own eyes and it was true.

As soon as the conversation started, discussions arose.

When talking about Liang's medical skills, one can't help but trace it back to the time when the master was the King of Qi. There was a concubine who was not good-looking but had superb medical skills. She accompanied the King of Qi in flood control and disaster relief.

Then they talked about Liang's riding and archery. Someone suddenly remembered that when Duke of Jin Yuwen Ke got married in the camp, the concubine of King Qi rode and shot in the hunting ground, which made people admire her. Now thinking about it, the technique was exactly the same as Liang's to shoot Lu Mingye.

There were quite a few people present that day, and now what they said was even more convincing.

It should be noted that this concubine was canonized by the late emperor himself when he was alive. Later, the late emperor passed away and the master succeeded to the throne. There was no news about the concubine anymore. I felt it was strange before, but now I think it must be the master who instructed her to quietly return to Qi State and use her status as the Queen Mother of Qi to secretly serve the master.

Having said that, it seems that we can get a glimpse of this from the Battle of Pingzhou that year...

In ancient times, Fan Li presented Xi Shi to King Fu Chai, which eventually led to the demise of the Wu Kingdom.

Now, isn’t the Liang family imitating their predecessors?

After deep thought and careful consideration, everyone suddenly understood.

On second thought, the emperor has always been strict in military discipline and never allows soldiers to make comments at will. However, the rumors about Liang's identity as a spy are not restricted. Isn't this even more intriguing?

……

After listening to Xiao Qianyi's story for the first time, Liang Qian was stunned for a long time and had no idea what to say.

This was clearly what Yuwen Jue did on purpose.

But was this intentional? When did they start planning this?

Liang Qian thought carefully.

At the wedding banquet of Yuwen Ke and Xiao Qianyi in the past, when she learned that Yuwen Jue wanted to make her a concubine, she was as surprised as everyone else.

She asked Yuwen Jue why he didn't tell her in advance.

Yuwen Jue smiled faintly: If you don’t consider me, can’t I plan for myself?

She asked again, what if she changed her face again?

Yuwen Jue didn't care at all and just replied with two words: Follow me, Qing.

……

Before Liang Qian reached the main tent, she saw a group of people retreating from the tent.

I think they have finished their discussion.

Unexpectedly, when I walked to the front of the tent, I heard someone still talking inside.

Liang Qian was hesitating whether to go in, but she saw Yuchi Yuan open the curtain and move aside.

Liang Qian had no choice but to step in.

There was a brazier burning in the tent, and a wave of hot air blew towards us, making us feel much warmer.

Yuwen Jue sat leaning on the main seat, Gongxi Jin stood in front of the sand table, and Xiao Jingnan and others sat quietly below.

From the looks of it, there are quite a few people here.

Hearing the noise at the door, Gong Xijin stopped speaking, and everyone in the tent followed his gaze and looked over.

Liang Huan frowned.

Yuwen Jue raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Why are you waiting outside instead of coming in?"

When Liang Qian met those smiling eyes, her heart skipped a beat.

Although her existence and her relationship with Yuwen Jue were already known to them, this was the first time that she was pushed to the front so openly.

After Yuwen Jue finished speaking, a faint smile appeared on his face as he waited for her leisurely.

Liang Qian gritted her teeth and lowered her head, pretending nothing had happened. She walked forward confidently and put down the jade plate in her hand.

"It's time to take the medicine."

"it is good."

Yuwen Jue stared at her with his dark eyes, calmly took the bowl of medicine from her hand, and drank it slowly.

Perhaps the fire in the tent was too strong, Liang Qian felt her cheeks burning.

After Yuwen Jue finished the medicine, Liang Qian took the bowl and was about to stand up when her wrist was grabbed.

Yuwen Jue took the Yao Plate from her hand and put it aside. "Sit down and wait. I have something to tell you later."

Liang Qian was surprised and looked over. Yuwen Jue looked serious, but she could clearly see a hint of teasing in his deep black eyes.

Not wanting to refuse his wishes in public, Liang Qian could only sit aside with her eyes lowered. Unexpectedly, he stuffed something into her hand.

"I just tried it, it's not hot."

Liang Qian bit her lips tightly, her eyes fixed only on the teacup in her hand.

After Yuwen Jue finished speaking, he stopped looking at her and looked at Gongxi Jin expressionlessly, saying calmly, "Go on."
