laughing soul

Qiu Sheng led the main force to chase Yangguan Avenue for a long time, but he didn't see a single person. After chasing outside, countless forks appeared in the road. It was difficult to make a decision at the moment, so he called the whole army to set up camp on the spot. , Let's take a rest for one night and then talk about it later.

At night, the surroundings fell into silence, but a small lamp was still lit in the manager's tent. Qiu Sheng poured a cup of green bamboo leaves and thought about it again for a long time in front of the dim candlelight. I feel that Wang Jiusi may have calculated a game in the middle of the game. Maybe I went out of the city to hunt down and was included in this game. I have already escaped by now, and I don’t know what means to pass the news to Deng Qi and the shaman Chuanmu .

In the middle of the night in the cold wind and snow, Long Live was frightened into a cold sweat. He was about to get up and go outside to blow the cold wind. He turned around to get the cloak, but a gust of cold wind woke up the goosebumps on his entire back. He was about to complain After a few words, before the words came out, when I looked back, it was Chu Yu who came.

Before his stern anger came up, he was completely wiped out by the head, and replaced it with unspeakable joy and joy, but he suppressed it morbidly, pretending to be indifferent, calmly Showing a slight smile: "Why are you here?"

His attitude this time was really abnormal. Chu Yu was taken aback for a moment, but just stood at the door without moving, and imitated Qiu Sheng's forcibly suppressed rather cold voice and said indifferently: "Wang Jiusi has been caught, and he is now In the big prison, those who are popular and drink hot food, I also found out the small trick he used to contact Deng Qi, you don’t have to worry. It’s late at night and the dew is heavy, your majesty’s body is important, and you should sleep first to refresh your spirits, and wait until tomorrow Return to Beijing to cook for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

His words were fast and ruthless, Qiu Sheng understood after hearing the first half of the sentence, Chu Yu must have intervened in this matter.

But he didn't expect this person to stand side by side with his hands behind his back from the beginning to the end, but he left these few words coldly, and then turned his head and walked out.

He just made a mere movement about to turn around, but Qiu Sheng couldn't put it on, striding towards the door while explaining in a panic: "Ah... I, I'm not..."

He only said a few words but couldn't speak anymore, not only because of his hasty strides, he knocked the table to the side, and sprinkled the fragrance of bamboo leaves and wine all over his body, but the man seemed to be standing in the tent. Waiting for him to come at the door, a smile of unknown meaning gradually appeared on his face, the hand that was always behind his back suddenly turned out, and he pinched Duo Dongmei in the palm of his hand, and while Qiu Sheng was stunned for a moment, he walked away impartially his hair.

The plum blossoms of Bullying Shuang Saixue faintly ooze out some imperceptible cool fragrance, which should be a cold and arrogant smell that repells people thousands of miles away, but because of the pot of hot spirits mixed in it, it is unreasonable. few.

For a moment, Qiu Sheng only saw the person in front of him, let the surrounding scenery fade away, and the cold wind was still permeating through the tent, but felt that this moment, this place, this scene, only wished for a long time, without end.

After Chu Yu finished his bad deeds, he stepped back a few steps while rubbing his chin, as if he was accepting the results, half raised the corner of his mouth and said with an evil smile: "You are very handsome, the only one in the Baili Meilin." If you find this beautiful branch, you should match the beauty of the world."

While the iron was hot, he raised his eyebrows to look into Qiu Sheng's deep eyes, lowered his voice and said slowly: "I've thought about it for a long time, but you are the only one."

Qiu Sheng stared at him silently for a moment, then took a sudden breath, suppressed the rising evil fire, and asked viciously: "The news has arrived, what do you want to say these words now? Ah Yu, I It doesn’t matter if you have rough skin and thick flesh.” After a pause, he glanced at the simple bed at the back, “Right now, the bridal chamber is no different from a beautiful thing for me, but it’s just that it’s so rough and simple to pass through the door, I’m afraid She is the little daughter-in-law who wronged me."

Seeing the young man's reddish face, Chu Yu approached with a few steps, and hummed softly, almost lips to lips: "I'm going to take care of the children tomorrow, please be quiet, Master Qiu."

The breath as light as a butterfly's wing approached for only a moment, before Qiu Sheng even had time to distinguish whether there was a familiar herbal fragrance in that warm smell, Chu Yu tried to stay away and backed away again, and he couldn't help it any longer. He hugged the man in his arms.

With a long sigh.

Chu Yu's body temperature has always been low, but at this time he was burning uncontrollably. He wrapped his arms around Qiu Sheng's well-defined back, closed his eyes, and extinguished the candle lamp on the table with a flick of his fingers: "Take a look at it a few more times." It's sky, if you don't sleep, it will be dawn..."

This person always keeps his word, and Qiu Sheng has a pair of distinct dark circles under his eyes. Even if he has a wicked heart but no physical strength, he can only sleep for a night on a small bed in the tent with a quilt and a pillow. The feet in the tent were burned by the charcoal fire, but he couldn't feel the slightest bit of coldness. For the first time, Chu Yu was lying on the bed.

Qiu Sheng has long developed the habit of restless sleep at dawn. When she opened her eyes, she was in a trance and hadn't realized it yet. She felt a warm mass in her arms. She unconsciously retracted her arms lightly. Heard a whisper in a dream.

Only then did he become aware, and lightly and slowly withdrew his arm from under Chu Yu's neck. He was about to get up, wash and dress, when he looked down and saw the slightly flushed face of the man nestled in the quilt, reflecting That lip color is really pretty, I couldn't help it for a while, I bowed my head and stole a scent like a dog.

Satisfied.

Li Ci outside the door was about to bring hot water for freshening up. Qiu Sheng quickly stopped him, put a finger across his mouth, and led him away from the camp without a sound, all the way to the Imperial Forest Army Group At the gathering place for washing face, he poured cold water all over his head and face with everyone, and waved to Li Ci, who was stunned by the side, and said: "Burn a new pot and wait for it to be sent to the camp. Be gentle, ah If you complain to me, you'll be the one to look at."

Li Ci: "..." For some reason, the words "beautiful beauty and disaster" popped up out of thin air in his mind.

My master really has the courage to be crowned a generation of faint kings.

Putting Fengyue Qingchang in place for the time being, Qiu Sheng plunged into the barracks to find the messenger soldier: "Go to the Huadu government office to meet General Zheng Nan, and order him to quickly take his relatives from the southwest to the outskirts of the capital, and take Liancheng He also greeted back, Wang Jiusi has been taken care of here, and Huadu is now in Daan, so there is no need for him to follow around day and night." Waving his hand, he pointed to the deputy general's tent: "The edict is in the deputy general's camp. Here, you go and get it, everything is done quickly, don't delay."

Personally commanding the imperial forest army and some of the Huadu pro-army gathered here, Qiu Sheng thought that even without Zheng Nan bringing the rest of the pro-army to help out, it would be easy to deal with this little bastard.Not to mention that this bear has never led soldiers before, but the pro-army of the four counties in his hands is far different from the Yulin army in terms of strength and weapons.Calming chaos is not the main problem, he wants to do his best to reduce losses.

If he guessed correctly, then the chiefs of the four counties must have been deceived by Qiu Jingran's staff for a long time. Of course, they don't necessarily have the intention of rebellion. They are all internal strife in their own family and external forces There are two ways to deal with the enemy.

Before Wang Jiusi was arrested, he opened the back door for Qiu Jingran with the help of a fake jade seal. As long as Qiu Jingran has all the military power and prevents those officers who were kept in the dark from going forward, maybe they really thought it was the Qing emperor's side afterwards. If he didn't suppress the foreign thieves, causing His Majesty to die in Huangquan for no reason, and then wiped out the imperial forest army and other people quickly, he could usurp the throne without anyone noticing.

Qiu Sheng frowned. If this was the case, the number of casualties would not be guaranteed to be small.

And Qiu Jingran, who was desperate, did exactly that.

Qiu Sheng couldn't say that he was anxious, but he was a little sad. After all, once this incident happened, even if Qiu Jing wanted to cover up such a big crime of treason, it might be the difference between a broken car and a beheaded by poisoned wine.

If he doesn't return to Beijing, Qiu Jingran, who has already lost contact with Wang Jiusi and lost the backing of Beili and Nanman, will definitely not be crazy enough to go out of the city and chase him aimlessly. , When to start and when to end, the decision is entirely up to him.

He was silent and undecided, but Li Ci stepped forward with small steps, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, Young Master Chu has woken up."

Qiu Sheng looked up at him, his eyes softened for a moment, and he was almost happy to reward him with a piece of silver. It took only a few steps to go around, and he wished he could grow wings and fly over.

When entering the tent, Chu Yu happened to have just fastened the waist belt of his outer robe, raised his eyebrows to see him coming in, and said with a smile, "When will you enter Beijing?"

Qiu Sheng walked over, took a wooden comb and smoothed his hair, slowly tied it up, and tied it high with a ribbon: "Leave when you wake up."

"After all, it's not a big deal. After all, he's still young and has no strong support. He's just a domestic cat in a tiger's skin. He doesn't need to face a big enemy." Chu Yu lowered his head slightly so that Qiu Sheng could put him in his head. The last broken hair was gathered in the palm of his hand, "Deng Qi told you yesterday that he used the bad move to contact Qiu Jingran, do you still remember?"

"Huh?" Qiu Sheng carefully tied his hair, feeling that something was wrong even if it was tight or loose, and she was so focused on it, she asked suddenly, but she didn't respond, "Well, I remember."

"It's an iron beetle. It seems that there is a magnet inside. It should be moved by the magnetic field in the secret passage. I don't know much about this, so I wrote to the Northwest Army to ask General Gao to find someone to look at it for me." Chu He usually tied his hair so hard, he had never received such an honor, his scalp couldn't adapt to walking in the cold wind and rain, and he was scratched a little, so he laughed out loud, "Come on!" Come on, I'll do it myself."

"Why did you just send it to the Northwest Army?" Qiu Sheng reluctantly handed out the wooden comb, "Why don't you come and ask me?"

"Bei Li has always been good at researching new types of ordnance. If there are excellent cunning masters, they should all be kept in the Northwest Army." After finishing his long hair a few times, Chu Yu turned around and joked, "This flying vinegar is even more expensive." Eat? It smells sour."

He pretended to slap his nose, turned around and took out the long knife and ten-thousand-foot bow hanging on the wall, and sauntered out: "When I have time, I will strengthen my husband, and I will tell you why three wives and four concubines are still married." Not too much…”

Qiu Sheng stared at his slender back, and felt thunder in his heart.

Ah Joo seems to have new ideas about their relationship that are very different from his own.This is not good.

The only thing Zheng Nan and Lian Cheng gained from staying in the Huadu government office was Guan Yang, who claimed to be of high status. Yushu Linfeng, a young man in Yingche, threatened the two of them sternly, if they didn't honestly let him return to the golden pigsty, sooner or later their old father would kill them.

It was fine for a day or two, but after a long time, these two masters who could kill pigs by playing tricks turned the boring life of guarding the suspect into a play, until they finally received an urgent letter from the outskirts of the capital. According to the report, the boring task of being a father and a mother finally came to an end. The two led the Huadu army who had been idle for a long time, and rushed from the southwest entrance to the outskirts of the city.

Unexpectedly, they thought they would run into an unprecedentedly fierce prince's rebellion, but they only went to take care of the aftermath for Qiu Sheng and the others. The two of them didn't even draw their long swords. It is more overkill than playing house in Huadu government office.

As early as two days before the two arrived in the outskirts of the capital, Qiu Sheng had already taken Qiu Jingran, the general of the Imperial Forest Army, to a bear party, and found a forged jade seal on the boy, and found Fu Ren When a group of important ministers of the court also participated in it, they followed the method of disposing of the Ministry of Punishment and turned the entire Dali Temple upside down. The seat of Dali Temple Minister was replaced by a newly elected newcomer. Always in Qiu Sheng's hands.The sensational prince's rebellion ended in such a hasty way.

This matter started when Qiu Sheng drove back to Beijing half a month ago. At that time, although he knew that Qiu Jingran could not be called a qualified opponent, he was worried about the abducted soldiers from the four counties. He was extremely worried, and on the way from another county to the outskirts of the city, he dragged Chu Yu to discuss the matter non-stop, and became nagging like never before.

"Do you want to try your best to reduce the number of casualties in the battle?" Chu Yu pinched the bridge of his nose, "That's right, if Qiu Jingran is cleared, the North and the South will fight independently. Since the troops need to be deployed, the more the better, it is a reasonable consideration. What are you going to do?"

Qiu Sheng: "Qiu Jingran has the Yuxi edict over there. According to common sense, everyone in the world is preconceived. Besides, the chiefs of the four counties were rushed to the camp to wait for the news. No one dared to compete with His Royal Highness. People will definitely not come out. Even if I do, it will be difficult for the soldiers who have never seen me to believe that I am real and Qiu Jing is not. We just bumped in like this, and it is difficult to find time to talk to me. To be clear, I want to set aside a group of people, half a day after my confrontation with Qiu Jingran, Hengdao suddenly showed his sharpness, so that I can buy a moment to explain it, and maybe there is a turning point."

"You lead the Imperial Forest Army to a town first, and I will lead Huadu for you to the rear of the army hall. When there is suspicion of internal turmoil among them, I will use military amulets to suppress it a little bit. There should be many soldiers who put their knives on the ground." Chu Yu raised his arms. Placing it on Qiu Sheng's shoulders, "Hold the military letter carefully. If there is any accident, the army will be behind, and I will definitely be by your side before a stick of incense. But if it is not a last resort, give me a half-day rest first." Fake it."

Qiu Sheng took a deep look at him, took out the military letter and smiled at Chu Yu: "Don't worry, you don't need this thing."

Before arriving at the outskirts of the capital, Chu Yu quickly divided the entire army into two teams with the soldier talisman, and ordered the Yulin army to continue to follow Qiu Sheng forward, while the Huadu pro-army was deployed by him, divided into countless small teams and scattered in the outskirts of the city Nearby, the distance is extremely close, and a complete army can be assembled in two moments with a single order from Chu Yu

However, the two of them were so panic-stricken, it could be said that they had planned to a heinous level, unexpectedly, almost one move was useless.

As a complete novice, Qiu Jingran was such a big mess when he was doing business for the first time. Needless to say how panicked he was before the battle. The key problem was that the pro-armies under his command came from the four counties, and they followed the prefectures and counties in the past. The chief has been fighting and fighting for so many years, and after such a sudden change of coach, they are all at a loss.Just such a hodgepodge army that claims to be righteous, once they meet the Imperial Forest Army with strict military discipline, the result can be imagined. Even though the latter deliberately let the former go, it is still like falling into pieces in less than half an hour. Lost in a mess.

Qiu Sheng couldn't bear to call it a rape, it was like a farce in which his own naughty child recruited a group of motley gangsters, and then he thought he was invincible and made trouble everywhere.

He lay on Xue Qianli's back and looked helplessly at Qiu Jingran who was not far away, and found that the other party was also staring at him with piercing eyes, straightened up and laughed, raised his right hand, and made a simple gesture.

"Stop and surrender."

When he saw Qiu Jingran's eyes, his eyes were instantly filled with sadness. He stared at Qiu Sheng's raised arm, and after a while, he burst into tears.

A successful youth, he has never tasted a defeat for more than ten years, but today, it is actually ushered in a complete tragedy.

He couldn't accept it, and even had hallucinations for a while, only to feel that the powerful imperial forest army and the pro-military team fleeing with their heads in their hands were both wiped out. He saw clearly that Qiu Sheng was standing on the other side of a long river, just like when he was young. When crossing the stream in the imperial garden, the young man standing there smiled softly and flamboyantly.

He was like a warm sun, but he didn't know how to cherish it, and wanted to replace it.

It's too late.

He has nowhere to stop, once this farce starts, it is doomed to never end, he stands on the other side of the enemy, and feels that he is really just alone, alone.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't open his mouth. The iron sword tightly wrapped in his palm was as heavy as a thousand weights. He smiled at Qiu Sheng's still smiling face with great embarrassment. Picked up the long sword.

He saw Qiu Sheng's smile froze instantly, and rushed towards him as if desperate.

There is no use of the army letter bombs, Zheng Nan and Liancheng are still on the way, because the Imperial Forest Army is extremely measured, and the casualties on both sides are almost negligible. This rebellion that started for no reason may be due to the small scale and the weak manipulators. , but there is no record in the history books of later generations.

Even if this is a world-shattering torture for a certain person or a certain group of people.

Qiu Sheng didn't avoid his eyes, he watched Qiu Jingran's throat tear open under the knife almost calmly, blood spurted out from his delicate neck, a handsome face was under the huge impact force Immediately distorted and deformed under it.

He couldn't tell what it was like inside.

He just looked at Qiu Jing's twitching torso lying on the ground blankly, and exhaled coolly.

This is his relative, his little nephew.

As the setting sun was about to fall, blood covered his gradually icy body. Qiu Sheng squeezed out among the bewildered crowd, got off his horse, picked up Qiu Jingran's bloody corpse, stood up slowly, and said in a low voice, "The traitor!" It has been eliminated, all of you who are kind and deceitful Jiedu envoys, please accept the crime yourself, I will take a step first."

He raised his head to look at Tianjiao, his eyes slowly moved down, and he saw Chu Yu leading the army, one man and one rider, and behind him were thousands of troops who came to help.

The distance was too far, and he suddenly became dizzy for a while. He could hardly see the expression on the man's face, but he just raised his head and smiled at him gently.
