Adviser should be self-improvement

That day and night, a secret letter from Qingzhou was rushing towards Qin Ce's mansion.

It was already past the rest time, and the orange-red lanterns only illuminated the surrounding area brightly, but it was dark when viewed from a distance. The attendant went to make an announcement, and the messenger entered the hall to wait, his eyes locked on the dim bedroom, However, he did not expect that the room in the hall would be the first to light up the lights.

Qin Ce who came out was neatly dressed, his eyes were clear and solemn, and he didn't seem to be awake at all when he was suddenly called out. The sender was heartbroken. Seeing Qin Ce's gesture to him, he hurriedly offered the envelope with both hands.

"This is what Junshi Xie ordered the villain to bring to His Highness."

Qin Ce took the letter and asked before opening it, "When did you leave Qingzhou?"

The sender replied: "Return to Your Highness, three days ago."

Qin Ce hummed, opened the envelope, put the general contents in his eyes, frowned without any trace, and looked at the butler who happened to be in a hurry: "I am going to the carriage to the Chu Mansion, and then I will send someone to the Chu Mansion to report One sound..."

The butler looked suspiciously at Qin Ce who suddenly became dumb: "Your Highness?"

Qin Ce rubbed his forehead: "Forget it, I'll report to the Chu Mansion two hours later. Not long ago, Mr. Chu brought documents related to Xiangyang, and they are now placed on the upper left of the bookshelf in the study room. You go and find them."

However, before the steward could respond, the messenger replied nonuo: "His Royal Highness, Military Division Xie sent someone to deliver the letter this time, besides the villain, he also sent another person to Mr. Chu's residence."

As if worried about Qin Ce's misunderstanding, the sender hurriedly said: "Mr. Xie asked the villain to inform His Highness, because he doesn't know where His Highness will rest, so in case of mistakes, we should send two people to be safe."

Qin Ce didn't speak for a while, and it took a long time for him to squeeze out a sentence: "Think he's 'smart'." If it were said that the fox didn't know his thoughts about Chu Huaiqing, Qin Ce couldn't believe it.

Although the ancients were reserved, there were many examples of two men sleeping together, so even if the housekeeper heard the words about going to bed, he only thought that Chu Huaiqing and Qin Ce had a deep friendship in terms of friendship, and didn't think about it elsewhere.

The butler looked at Qin Ce who was expressionless, and asked, "Your Highness, do you want the villain to bring you the documents?"

"Just find it, just put it in the back room." Qin Ce said suddenly feeling tired, "Please help me find a cloak."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Qin Ce received the envelope, Chu Huaiqing also received such a letter, but he added an extra sentence in small characters: I don't know how the letter's footsteps are. If it's late at night, His Highness will be considerate that Huaiqing has rested, After postponing the matter, he specially informed that the speech had already been prepared to His Highness, and hoped that Huai Qing would be considerate, and it was fine to act as if he did not know, and don't expose the poor wine to His Highness.

Chu Huaiqing in the carriage twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, seeing the word 'poor wine' at the end, as if Xie Fu's frivolous smile was right in front of him, he finally couldn't help but sighed and smiled: "You. "

"Mr. Chu, the Qin residence is here." The coachman shouted.

Chu Huaiqing hummed, put away the letter, and saw that the curtain was opened, leaned out, stretched out both hands at this moment, and put the thick cloak on Chu Huaiqing's shoulders.

Stretching out her hand to caress the cloak on her shoulders, Chu Huaiqing was slightly taken aback, and looked at the man standing in front of her: "Your Highness?"

Qin Ce's brows were stained with fine dew, and he had obviously been waiting here for a while, he reached out his hand to Chu Huaiqing and said, "Sir."

Chu Huaiqing put his hand up and got out of the carriage: "Your Highness knew that his subordinates were coming?"

Holding Chu Huaiqing's hand, Qin Ce replied nonchalantly: "After all, Xie Fu has done so 'safety', how could I not know."

Chu Huaiqing: "..." What did he do?

When I came to the room in the hall, the charcoal fire in the furnace was booming, and the room was warm. The official documents Qin Ce needed were also stacked on the side of the table. There were refreshing bitter tea and supper on the table.

Qin Ce took off the cloak for Chu Huaiqing, and hung it aside. Chu Huaiqing sat at the table, holding a cup of bitter tea to warm his hands. A little bit of tiredness and tiredness were also dispelled by this subtle fragrance, and he couldn't help saying : "Your Highness is still considerate."

"That's not what I thought about."

Chu Huaiqing said, "Is it the housekeeper?"

Qin Ce hummed.

Chu Huaiqing smiled: "That's because His Highness governs you well, and that's why the servants in the mansion love him so much."

Qin Ce took a sip of bitter tea: "Usually I don't enjoy this kind of treatment, but this time, Ce is taking advantage of my husband."

If the butler was here, he would have secretly complained about Qin Ce's words: why did he never prepare these things for Qin Ce?

Chu Huaiqing paused in his hand, not knowing how to answer it, but Qin Ce raised his eyebrows and smiled, and expressed his true thoughts: "The butler is obviously partial to Mr., so I hope Mr. will come a few more times in the future, so Ce can follow more Enjoy it."

"Your Highness, what are you talking about..."

Seeing that although Qin Ce was teasing, but his eyes were full of invitation, Chu Huaiqing subconsciously nodded and said, "Okay."

"So it's settled." The joy faded away, and Qin Ce returned to the topic, "The letter said that Gongsun Ji led his troops to capture Youdu, sir, do you know what kind of person this Gongsun Ji is?"

Chu Huaiqing didn't think for too long, and answered immediately: "A capable person."

Qin Ce was a little surprised that Chu Huaiqing could be called a capable person: "How is it compared to Mister?"

"I am not as good as him in siege and defense of the city, deceitful strategies, and government affairs decisions." Chu Huaiqing pondered, "But compared with Xie Fu, he is more than half a percent behind."

Qin Ce was confused instead: "Mr. is as capable as Xie Fu. Since Xie Fu is stronger than this Gongsun Ji, why do you say that you are not as good as him?"

Although he always knew that Qin Ce had the illusion that "everything is possible" towards him, Chu Huaiqing only realized at this moment that this wrong idea was so deep that under Qin Ce's burning gaze, he was unable to refute it. Chu Huaiqing caressed his forehead, and replied hesitantly: "After all, there are some aspects that my subordinates are not good at."

Qin Ce believed it, and frowned again and replied: "This man is really powerful. He captured Youdu with 1 soldiers and horses with only [-] troops."

And it was when the king of Xiangyang sent his troops to Kyoto, and there was no one in Xiangyang to lead them.

"The king of Xiangyang took away 20 soldiers and horses in order to occupy the capital, and there are 12 left in Xiangyang." Chu Huaiqing spread out the map, "Including the [-] in Youdu, there are [-] people. And the soldiers and horses in our hands are only more than [-], therefore, although there was a battle with the King of Xiangyang, it is definitely not now."

"Sir, how likely is it that Gongsun Ji will act recklessly?"

Knowing what Qin Ce was thinking, Chu Huaiqing shook his head: "The relationship between Gongsun Ji and the King of Xiangyang is a bit complicated. Even if Gongsun Ji did an act of transgression, the King of Xiangyang will not have a rift with him because of this... something like His Highness is the same as his subordinates."

Qin Ce's eyes changed in an instant, and suddenly realized that Chu Huaiqing was talking about teacher-student friendship, and resentfully suppressed those discordant thoughts.

Chu Huaiqing continued: "Xiangyang is far away from Youdu. Although Gongsun Ji captured Youdu, he still wanted to keep people to guard his family. Most likely he would only send one or two soldiers to take charge of Youdu. Therefore, it is up to us to The problem before us is not how to defend against the sneak attack of Youdu, but where we will go in the future."

"Where are you going in the future?"

"Yes, although we have acquired the three states, we are limited to this border area, and are prone to be attacked." Chu Huaiqing marked out all the territories owned by Li Wen and King Xiangyang, "Although we can go directly from Yangzhou to Neichuan, but now Yangzhou It has been occupied by Li Wen, so in order to avoid loss as much as possible, we have no choice but to find another way."

Qin Ce murmured, and stretched out his finger to Huai'an: "Is this the master's plan?"

"Yes." Chu Huaiqing smiled and nodded.

"Going from Huai'an, we can indeed detour through Neichuan and avoid Li Wen's sight." Qin Ce said, "It's just a pity that we have to face Zhou Huaimin before we form an alliance."

"It doesn't have to be against you." Chu Huaiqing smiled lightly, "Your Highness, do you know why your subordinates rated Zhou Huaimin as a suitable ally?"

This Qin Ce didn't know: "Why?"

"First, he is ambitious, and knows how much he has. Second, he is talented and dedicated. Third, he is sincere for the people and knows how to use the people as his own shield. Based on these three points , Zhou Huaimin will be able to navigate this troubled world unimpeded."

"From this point of view, Zhou Huaimin is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Qin Ce said, "However, since Zhou Huaimin has ambitions, why is he just guarding Huai'an now and not making any other changes?"

Chu Huaiqing paused, then smiled, "It's probably because of His Highness."

Qin Ce: "?"

In his previous life, Qin Ce wanted to move troops to Huai'an, but was rejected by the residents of Huai'an. Since then, there has been a rift with Zhou Huaimin. Instead of being an ally, he almost became an enemy. Ce and Xie Fu have been announced by Emperor Qianning to enter Beijing, and they missed the best opportunity to get Qingzhou.

In this life, Qin Ce did not touch Zhou Huaimin's painstaking efforts in Huai'an, and Zhou Huaimin became Qin Ce's nominal subordinate. Although Emperor Qianning recalled Qin Ce, Qin Ce was eager to return, regardless of Emperor Qianning's persuasion. Leave Beijing early to catch up with the scene of the uprising army attacking Qingzhou...

It has to be said that it is by nature to come to this step today.

Although it seems like the change brought about by Chu Huaiqing, Chu Huaiqing still believes that all this is different because his lord is Qin Ce who is willing to listen to other people's suggestions.

Putting these thoughts to the back of his mind, Chu Huaiqing said: "If we want to borrow from Huai'an, we need to choose a time in the near future to visit this Master Zhou, and confirm the alliance relationship first."

"Have you decided in your heart who can act as a lobbyist?"

Chu Huaiqing spread her arms and said with a smile, "Isn't it right in front of His Highness?"

Qin Ce was surprised: "Could it be that the master wants to go in person?"

"Exactly."

"No!" He refused without thinking.

Chu Huaiqing wondered why Qin Ce's reaction was so strong: "Is there something wrong?"

Qin Ce's lips twitched: "Huai'an is not an ally with us now, if Zhou Huaimin has malicious intentions, what should we do if he wants to detain Mr. as a hostage?"

These words really sounded like a temper tantrum, Chu Huaiqing was speechless, shook his head for a while, and said firmly: "This is just announcing that he will formally feud with His Highness, Zhou Huaimin will not do such a thing that will cause harm but no benefit thing."

"Then I'll go." Qin Ce said, "Doesn't it seem more sincere?"

"No, my subordinate is gone, and there is still His Highness in Pingzhou. If His Highness leaves, Pingzhou will be truly leaderless. At that time, Li Wen will not be afraid, and will definitely use it to raise troops." Chu Huaiqing calmly analyzed for Qin Ce He said, "Besides, Your Highness is now the person occupying three states, so naturally he has to put on a high figure. It would be best for Zhou Huaimin to be persuaded by his subordinates."

Qin Ce sighed, knowing what Chu Huaiqing was going to do, ten horses would not be able to pull it back, so he could only agree, "Then I will trouble you sir."

Chu Huaiqing said seriously: "It is the duty of the subordinates to share the worries of His Highness."

Qin Ce looked up at the sky and sighed slightly, wanting to support his forehead silently.

They talked about the recruitment of soldiers and horses and other important matters for a while, and the two of them used the potency of tea to talk about the dawn of the sky. When the first light of the morning penetrated into the sandalwood window, the two of them realized that This time we chatted all night.

"It's getting late, the subordinates go first..."

Chu Huaiqing, who got up, was a little shaky, and was picked up by Qin Ce: "It's still early, it's just the hour, how about taking a rest at Ce's mansion?"

"This……"

"Mr. is not in a hurry to rush to Huai'an today."

"...I hope His Highness doesn't think your subordinates are bothering you."

Chu Huaiqing, who entered the back room, fell asleep all the time, and Qin Ce, who had retreated, swayed in calmly, covering Chu Huaiqing's quilt. Chu Huaiqing was different from him, maybe he could hold on for three or four nights Sleeping, but Chuhuai youth must rest one day, this is also the fault that fell in the prison.

Qin Ce sat by the bed, watching Chu Huaiqing who was sleeping soundly. The last time he saw a gentleman like this was a few days ago. At that time, he was busy with official business, so he didn't take a good look at his appearance in his sleep.

She couldn't help reaching out to touch Chu Huaiqing's cheek.

Chu Huaiqing rubbed the nearby palms, but did not wake up, Qin Ce's arms stiffened, but his eyes became more hazy, and said softly: "You said a lot of polite words to me today, I have to punish you. "

The room fell into a moment of silence, and then there was a "thumping" heartbeat, fast and violent, and the projection of Chu Huaiqing's face became bigger and bigger, until a soft kiss full of love fell on his lips.

Chu Huaiqing moved uneasily, and the close object immediately moved away.

A deep voice continued: "If you are polite to me again next time, I will punish you like this again, do you hear me?" Every word is gentle and soft.

Chu Huaiqing hummed.

"...Sir, I'm sleepy too." The heartbeat became faster and faster, "It shouldn't be too late to go to bed..."

There was a rustling sound, and feeling a familiar temperature enveloping her, Chu Huaiqing took the initiative to move closer to that side, rubbing against each other, and retracted into Qin Ce's arms without any suspense.

Qin Ce's body froze into a rock, from an unbelievably passive acceptance to an active embrace of Chu Huaiqing.

"I have to get up before you, sir, otherwise I won't be able to tell for a while." Qin Ce looked down at Chu Huaiqing and raised the corner of his mouth, "Sir, what should I do? Although I am so happy now, but Just thinking about how you will be hugged by other people in the future, or hold other people in your arms, Ce can't help the urge to lock up sir... But if I really do, sir You must hate me."

Chu Huaiqing closed her eyes tightly, still not aware of these heartbreaking words.

"Sir." Qin Ce closed his eyes, feeling the weak strength of Chu Huaiqing leaning against his chest, "I don't know what kind of person you will fall in love with in the future...I promise not to move her, so I will learn more from her and work hard to change." Be like her, okay..."

The sleepy man in his arms seemed to feel the sadness in these words, he anxiously wanted to utter the ravings he wanted to say most, but he only made a weak mouth movement.
