Soldiers for scouting and reporting specialize in their eyesight. Estimation has become commonplace, but to estimate accurately, they still need to follow the battle for a long time.

"More than" is a rather vague quantifier. No one can know exactly whether the surplus is two thousand, three thousand or more, so that the problem before Qin Ce and Chu Huaiqing has become more serious: the people they led There are only four thousand soldiers, while the opponent is at least ten thousand.

Chu Huaiqing immediately said: "Call Zhao Shijie and the others back first."

"You may not be able to fight people if they come. If there is a fight in Pingzhou, the people will suffer." Qin Ce frowned and looked at Chu Huaiqing, "Sir, you lead a team to find the people in Pingzhou. Ten thousand soldiers and horses, I will stay here and meet with Zhao Shijie and the others."

"Your Highness." Chu Huaiqing leaned back and looked back, eyes full of disapproval, "The fact that they came so quickly means that the previous 'thieves' have already informed them of our situation, and now that this group of people has entered the city, Ninety percent of the time, it is possible to go straight to Ji's mansion, and His Highness staying here will only lead to bad luck."

"So I can't retreat." Qin Ce said lightly, "If I retreat, I will lose in momentum. It will take a long time to repair Pingzhou. Will wait for the opportunity to attack."

Chu Huaiqing refused to give in at all: "Even if they have invaded countless times, even if they have acquired Pingzhou, it is not worth the importance of His Highness. If His Highness has scruples, it is better to let his subordinates and soldiers stay here. Lost momentum."

There is nothing more elated than this.

Qin Ce's face was still calm, but the frequency of blinking was a little faster, and his tone of voice had a cheerful little tail, and he said deliberately: "The last sentence is what you want to emphasize."

Chu Huaiqing heard Qin Ce's teasing, but she was more serious than ever, and said in a concentrated voice: "His Royal Highness's safety is more important than anything else."

Qin Ce felt that his husband was the honey water, so he gave him a face overwhelmingly, and then the water slipped into his mouth inadvertently, and sank into his heart along the internal organs.

I really want to keep entangled with Chu Huaiqing, but the situation does not allow them to hesitate too much, Qin Ce smiled and said, "Have you guessed their origin?"

Chu Huaiqing frowned slightly, and said softly: "The south gate is Luoyang."

Qin Ce understood it, and still shook his head with a relaxed smile and sighed: "If it's Luoyang, it's easy to say. Li Wen has made such a big move in recent days, I'm afraid the world won't know what he plans to do, and my status as prince should not be a big restraint on him. .”

"In this case, then the subordinate..."

"But there are still restraints. If Mr. stays, it will be the real sheep going into the tiger's mouth." Qin Ce said, "I am sure to support you until you come back."

Chu Huaiqing wanted to persuade again: "But Your Highness..."

"Sir." Qin Ce leaned over suddenly, wrapping his arms around Chu Huaiqing's back, a torrent surged in his deep ink-like eyes, pouring into the depths of Chu Huaiqing's heart without hindrance.

Qin Ce looked at him face to face, and raised his voice at the end: "I believe in your Highness, huh?"

As if something weak was pierced, the invisible announcement was revealed, like a sting after the rain, waiting for a certain moment in the future to announce to the world.

Zhao Shijie and his troops were at the North City Gate and did not directly confront Luo Meng. Even if he learned that there were still a small number of people wandering in Pingzhou County, Luo Meng was not in the mood to care about these shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Stay in Ji's mansion, waiting for him to catch them all.

Seeing the appearance of Ji's mansion from a distance, Luo Meng's first reaction was not to marvel, but to twitch his eyelids.

Although the house is splendid, the soldiers standing leisurely around it are even more inconsistent with the open gate. Luo Meng, who couldn't ignore it, reined in his horse and stopped, and the Luoyang soldiers and horses behind him also stopped, staring at each other with Qingzhou soldiers. Eye.

The Qingzhou soldiers responded calmly, while the Luoyang soldiers looked at them complicatedly.

Both sides looked sour.

This embarrassing scene did not last long. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the two soldiers leisurely moved the small case and low stool, and put them in front of Luo Meng. Tea sets were placed on the ground.

It seemed that Luoyang soldiers and horses carrying weapons were not in their eyes at all.

Luo Meng felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, but a person who walked out slowly from the house directly extinguished his anger.

"Today is a good day." The man sat down on a low stool to the side and poured two cups of tea with his hands up. "This prince has experienced unprecedented excitement."

Luo Meng looked at the cup of tea placed by his side, did not move or dismounted, and secretly observed Qin Ce's back.

Qin Ce smiled indifferently: "General Luo is looking for Uncle Ji?"

Luo Meng was really a little surprised: "Your Highness recognizes me?"

"If you want to talk about the most powerful general under Li Wen, it must be General Luo." Qin Ce held the cup, "I don't know more, so I can't blame General Luo for cheating you."

Luo Meng looked like he didn't care about Qin Ce's lies, but he was already vigilant and said with a smile, "It's a great honor for His Royal Highness the Third Prince to remember this little man."

"General Luo is humble."

The horse under him couldn't stop panting with anxiety. Luo patted the horse's neck, but didn't really comfort him: "Then, the third prince, would you like to explain to me?"

"There's nothing to hide." Qin Cetong said calmly, with a little regret, "Uncle Ji Biao is not strong-minded. He committed corruption in the name of the former Pingzhou state pastoralist. He is now in custody. I'm afraid he will not be lucky enough to come to Luo See you, general."

"I don't know him, and I don't care whether I can meet a prisoner." General Luo replied casually, "But I came here under the order of Lord Li this time to get two things from him. I think One of them... should now be in the hands of His Highness."

Qin Ce smiled and said, "Listening to General Luo's tone, do you want me to hand over the things?"

Luo Meng said: "It's best if Your Highness is willing to give up love, if you don't... don't blame me for my dedication to Master Li."

Qin Ce shook his head, as if sighing: "General Luo is really quick to talk." Then he said, "You know that thing is in my hands and you dare to say that, aren't you afraid?"

"Even if His Highness has this thing, it doesn't mean that His Highness has obtained the real thing behind it." Luo Meng seemed to be disdainful, "I'm not afraid of a small object."

Qin Ce smiled lightly: "How does General Luo know that the prince didn't get the real thing?"

Luo Meng replied: "If His Highness has the real thing, how can he endure it till now?"

"It sounds reasonable." Qin Ce took a sip of tea, but his voice changed abruptly, with a smile that others couldn't understand, "But, don't be so sure—"

Chu Huaiqing galloped on the horse, and the sharp ups and downs almost broke his emaciated body.

Informing Zhao Shijie that the soldiers were already on their way, even the farthest distance would not take too much time, and he had to find the [-] soldiers and horses before Zhao Shijie arrived.

Ji Yan is afraid of death, so he will never cover up the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, exposing them in a conspicuous place, and scaring away those who have bad intentions, is what Ji Yan will do best.

It won't be long, you'll find it right away.

My lord, wait for me.

His complexion suddenly darkened, and Luo Meng's eyes showed malicious intentions: "What does the Third Highness mean by this?"

However, Qin Ce just continued to drink tea, acting as if he didn't feel the faint threat: "literally."

Luo Meng said: "Your Highness, do you think that such clumsy lies can scare you away?"

Qin Ce said: "My prince seldom tells lies."

"...No." Luo Meng narrowed his eyes and said, "If His Highness really has these ten thousand soldiers, why doesn't he take action now?"

Instead of using another name to refer to another, but directly stating the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it obviously meant impatience and panic.

"If my prince had called them out from the beginning, there would be a battle between us." Qin Ce sighed, "Is this statement false?"

"Your Highness is afraid of this battle?"

"I'm really afraid." Unexpectedly, Qin Ce nodded, "There has been civil strife in Pingzhou for a long time, and it has been tossed into what it is now. This prince really can't bear the people of Pingzhou to be tortured for no reason. It's because of me. rise."

Luo Meng actually didn't believe it.

But Qin Ce acted too calmly, facing the eyes of countless Luoyang soldiers and horses staring at him all the time, and never showed the slightest panic. If he didn't have confidence in his heart, how could he be able to do this?Moreover, when Qin Ce said this, his expression was extremely sincere, and it was hard to believe that what he said was not true.

"The tea is getting cold." Qin Ce said suddenly, "General Luo, are you sure you don't want to sit down and have a good tea with me?"

Still hesitating, Luo Meng refused: "I don't like drinking tea, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"It stands to reason that this prince really shouldn't make things difficult for others." Qin Ce rubbed his forehead and said 'apologies', "However, General Luo must drink today's tea."

This time it was Luo Meng who frowned: "What does this mean, Your Highness?"

"Although General Luo is a general, temporarily commanding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he is actually no more than a humble local general." There was a crisp sound of the teacup bumping against the table, and the corners of Qin Ce's mouth raised slightly, "Where did you come from?" Got the guts to refuse the prince's order?"

Luo Meng's face turned ugly for a moment: "Prince is considered..."

"This Shengqian still bears the name of Shengqian, this territory is still the territory of Shengqian, and Emperor Qianning is still the emperor of Shengqian!" Qin Ce's eyes were as cold as a sharp sword, and his voice was as sharp as thunder, " General Luo, I am afraid that your master Li Wen would not dare to say what you just wanted to say."

The man's eyes shot straight at him, and even Luo Meng didn't realize that his body was subconsciously leaning back. The horse neighed due to the sudden increase in strength in its abdomen. hold on.

At this moment, he has forgotten to confirm whether Qin Ce really has these ten thousand soldiers.

It seemed to be silent for a long time, but it was not too long, but it was enough to wait until Chu Huaiqing led the [-] soldiers and Zhao Shijie to rush over.

There are two encircling circles, Qin Ce is in the center, Chu Huaiqing and the others are on the periphery, surrounded by Luo Meng's men.

Luo Meng finally understood that he had been fooled, but it was too late.

"General Luo, don't worry, I really don't intend to fight with you." Qin Ce made a gesture of 'seeing off the guests', behaved decently, and remained calm, "Please keep your voice down when you leave, don't disturb the people of Pingzhou."

Grasping the reins, Luo Meng stared straight at Qin Ce, with the remaining blank and tentative look in his eyes.

"I forgot." Qin Ce picked up another cup of tea and said with a smile, "This tea tastes very good, General Luo can't miss it."

The effect of this sentence was excellent, Luo Meng immediately came back to his senses, blushed in embarrassment, yelled 'drive' harshly, led the Luoyang soldiers and horses away, and never looked back.
