Qihuang

"Great love and selflessness?" Yan Liao read these four words, raised his hand a few times, and almost touched his back to draw a knife.

Qi Ao: "..."

Seeing Yan Liao's anger rising upwards, and the sharp eyes in his provocative eyes, Qi Bo straightened his knees and shivered without even thinking about it.

"With him like that, how can you see the slightest bit of love and selflessness!?"

Yan Liao stared at Qi Bo, only to feel his temples throbbing, and a nameless fire rushed to the top of his head.That bastard was full of absurd words, if I remember correctly, he has been going crazy since he was in Runan!

Qi Ao is very timid and dare not say too much, but as long as he says something, it must be a very definite statement.Now Qi Ao told Yan Liao that Wu Hai must have mastered the magic trick, and Yan Liao almost exploded.

The appearance of burning at this point gave Qi Ao a flash of inspiration, and Fuzhi understood something in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I... I haven't finished talking yet, it is true that Mr. Wu Hai has learned the art of grasping strange things, but I am afraid that Mr. Like me, it’s just learned from what it’s shown.”

Not daring to look at Yan Liao's complicated and unclear expression, Qi Ao said weakly, "I don't think you can break through the deeper inner mysteries from the wisps of mysteries."

Yan Liao blurted out and asked, "Why?"

Qi Ao seemed to be stuck in a distant memory, and he said after a long while: "Without desires, you can be strong, and without desires, you can be pure. I always thought that as long as I restrained my selfish desires and pondered slowly, maybe one day I would suddenly be enlightened, understand the secret law, and truly Inheriting the mantle of the family teacher..."

But in fact, these years Qi Ao has been under Yan Liao's command, what he sees and feels makes him question even more what the teacher said, and whether it is really impossible to practice great love with selfish feelings?

No desire is strong, no desire is pure.Qi Ao restrains his personal affairs, stays away from the disputes of the crowd, and has always been the most sober person in the crowd.

Until Xie Sishe died.

Xie Sishe died right in front of his eyes, to save him.

On that day, Qi Zuo struggled to suppress his emotions for more than 20 years, and broke out hysterically.

Heartbroken, unexamined, vulnerable.

A series of dark emotions are like vines gnawing at his soul. In the sleepy chaotic dream, he finally realizes that he is just a mortal child, with love and hate, fear and pain, and he can't do what the teacher said. It's about abandoning personal relationships.

Qi Ao raised his head and said: "My teacher once dropped a sentence before Yunyou, saying, 'Wait is lost, time is fate'... At that time, I thought it was my teacher who was disappointed in me. Now that I think about it, maybe my teacher is not the same. It's not blaming me, but it's telling me to let go, telling me to let God take its course, don't force it..."

"Ah!" Qi Ao suddenly let out a short ah.

Qi Ao suddenly realized that his so-called "no desire" all these years was simply deceiving himself... He wanted to repay the teacher's kindness and truly understand the secret art of mastering magic, which itself was already a kind of "selfish desire".

Let's get together!

"Only learning the surface, it's just..." At most, it's just like myself.Qi Ao said: "Your Majesty, don't get angry. Your son's selfishness is obvious. I think... I'm afraid I can't reach the point of having no desires, no demands, great love and selflessness."

Yan Liao's eyelids twitched, but with Qi Ao's accurate words, his suspended heart dropped strangely...

Qi boil and look up again

At that time, his reddish eyes were clear, and he said to Yan Liao: "Your Majesty, I have sorted out the recent battle situation in the past few days. Whether it is the Linjiang Camp or the four cities of Linjiang, I think the young master has been showing mercy. ...Is this protecting Yan?"

"Gusu forms an alliance with An, and Jizhou is in danger. The young master seems to be retreating in a row, losing to the peace talks..." Qi Ao pondered and said: "The purpose of the young master's doing this... Judging from the current general situation of the world, there may be two situations... "

"One is, the young master wants to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, accept Gusu with one hand, and surrender to you sincerely."

"Secondly, the young master is the one behind the alliance with Da'an... This time we defeated Gusu, saying peace and not fighting is just a feint, and the real goal is to cooperate with Da'an to attack Jizhou...?"

If Jizhou falls, apart from Jizhou, Mobei will also be damaged. If Jizhou and Mobei are under the control of Daan...

What the consequences will be, I don't need to go into details.

Qi Ao immediately remonstrated: "Your Majesty, the Yuzhou front can't escape, please go back to Yuzhou immediately, and send troops to support Jizhou as quickly as possible to prevent accidents."

Yan Liao nodded with a sullen face: "This king will lead the cavalry and leave later!"

There is nothing wrong with Qi Ao's analysis. To be on the safe side, Yan Liao should indeed take the first step, but Yan Liao's selfishness actually favors the first situation Qi Ao mentioned.

Yan Liao also didn't think that Wu Hai would unite with Da'an. If Wu Hai had united with Da'an, what would he have done to save Sima Zong?

Yan Liao felt that Wu Hai would not lie to him, and Yan Liao also did not hope that Wu Hai was lying to him.

After Qi Ao said that Wu Hai had mastered the magic skill, Yan Liao's first reaction was not the war in the world, but a kind of uneasiness that he hadn't thought about deeply.

Yan Liao said in a muffled voice, "Later, this king will take Changfengying Qingqi back to Yuzhou as quickly as possible."

Qi Ao was slightly surprised, he keenly sensed Yan Liao's bad mood, and boldly asked: "Does Your Majesty prefer the first situation?"

After looking at the map of thousands of miles on the case, Yan Liao said: "I hope you will put it aside first, and take necessary precautions before it happens."

Qi Ao lowered his eyelids again, and whispered, "I also hope it will be the first kind..."

Yan Liao was restless, rolled up the map and put it in his arms, and said: "Your complexion is too bad, let Shao Zhuo take care of you on the way back."

Qi Ao shook his head: "General Xu was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at night when he knew that Jizhou was under siege. I'm afraid he wanted to be a pioneer and rush back to Yuzhou with you."

"That's right... Elder brother is in Jizhou, Shaozhuo must be going crazy." Just as he was speaking, Yan Liao turned his head and looked at Qi Ao in disbelief.

"Qi Ao, what did you just say?"

"I said that if General Xu knew that you planned to go back to Jizhou first, he would probably come to beg you to take him with you."

Yan Liao shook his head: "It's not this sentence, you just said that you also hope for the first situation?"

Originally asked this...

Qi Ao was ashamed, his pale face turned red, and he lowered his head embarrassedly.

Yan Liao was even more surprised.

This is the first time since Yan Liao met Qi Ao, in two lifetimes, Qi Ao said what he hoped for in the face of uncertain things...

It is putting aside calmness and rationality, and expressing one's wishes and hopes.

Qi Ao was so stared at by Yan Liao that he couldn't lift his head, his hands and fingers were mixed together, a little embarrassed: "If your majesty has nothing else to do, I will step back first."

"...back off."

After Qi Ao left, Yan Liao came to his senses.

Qi has changed...

become more alive...

Yan Liao thought that Qi Ao would be secretly sad because of Xie Sishe's death, and worried that Qi Ao would hide this depression in his heart, and he would become more and more indifferent to anything except the righteousness of the world.

Never thought that Qi Ao in this life would have such a change?

Why did Qi Ao suddenly think about it?

Although it is not clear how this change came about, it is undoubtedly a good change.

While tidying up the map, Yan Liao couldn't help thinking that Qi Ao was probably the person who changed the most in his previous life except Wu Hai...

Thinking of Wu Hai, thinking about it, I can't consciously go astray...

Yan Liao unconsciously thought of Wu Hai's beautiful and affectionate eyes, and thought of Wu Hai asking himself...do he like him...

like or not…

The hand holding the map tightened, Yan Liao lowered his eyelashes, and slowly pursed his lips.

At Hongsha Pass, Xu Shaoqing, who had been guarding Jizhou for many days, lost a lot of weight.

sad and thin.His eyes were red with worry, and his face was yellow and dull.

Da'an suddenly attacked Jizhou, and unexpectedly lost a pass in Jizhou. Fortunately, the beacon sent a message, and the Hongsha Pass in the back reacted quickly, immediately blocked the front line, and held the defense line.

Xu Shaoqing rushed to Hongshaguan to sit in the town immediately after he knew that the An army was attacking.

Xu Shaoqing knew that Yan Liao was leading an army to attack Gusu at this time.The road to the south of the Yangtze River is far away, and the battle in Yuzhou is fierce. It is obvious that Daan no longer cleans up Gusu, but instead deploys troops to attack Jizhou...

Why does the king insist on attacking Gusu?Xu Shaoqing was simply baffled.

Okay, let’s attack Gusu. With the Blue Bird Square, the speed of battle reports is not too slow. Xu Shaoqing thought, Yuzhou is in danger, and the king will always withdraw his troops from Gusu and return to Jizhou after he gets the news, right?

He thought so, so he and the Jizhou army guarded Hongsha Pass desperately, day and night in fear, desperately resisting the fierce offensive of the An army.

But no matter how much he guarded the pass, he couldn't hold back the Anjun's fiercer attacks every time.More and more soldiers died at the pass, and Xu Shaoqing's face became more and more ugly.

Finally, Xu Shaoqing waited for the imperial edict.

Overjoyed to open the imperial edict, Xu Shaoqing thought that the turning point was coming, but he never expected that what he was waiting for was not the turning point for the reinforcements on the road, but... an order to tell him to stick to it.

The Wang Zhao said that if he had to hold out until Gusu was breached and Changfeng camp returned to aid Yuzhou, Jizhou might wait for reinforcements.

What a joke!How can you afford to wait!

Xu Shaoqing almost thought it was a fake letter replaced by the enemy.

Believable is true.

Xu Shaoqing's eyes turned black, and he almost vomited blood in despair.

After another night attack by the An army, the walls of the building were covered with wreckage of arrow feathers, and the dead soldiers were washed white and terrifying by the rain...

One after another corpses were removed from the sight, Xu Shaoqing's heart sank to the bottom of the valley——

Can it really last until the king takes Gusu and then sends troops back to help?

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if he really waited for rescue, would he still be alive at that time?Could he have been among the corpses that were removed?

the one?

In the heavy rain, Xu Shaoqing closed his red eyes.

These years Yan Liao conquered the Quartet, Xu Shaoqing has been guarding Jizhou, never leaving, doing his best, making every effort to govern, putting in the most difficult effort, doing the least meritorious things, he was secretly dissatisfied.

Now that Jizhou is besieged by the army, Yan Liao is so indifferent...

Is it about to own the world, and this little Jizhou, which took two years to conquer, is no longer important?

Even if Jizhou falls, even if they are all dead, as long as Gusu is captured and then returned to aid Jizhou, it will be enough to regain the lost land?As for the dead, it's just a sacrifice for tactical needs, and it doesn't matter?

Under the heavy rain, Xu Shaoqing stopped looking at the corpse on the wooden frame and walked slowly back to the military tent.

Just as he raised his hand to open the military tent, he heard someone talking inside.

"Hey...Master Xu is too pitiful."

"It's okay! There is no dog in the general's door! Besides, look at General Xu. General Xu has fought many beautiful battles with the king. Even when he attacked Gusu, it was General Xu who led the navy first! Master Xu will definitely be able to defend Hong Kong." Shaguan!"

"Hey... I hope..."

"The two sons of Commander Xu are really amazing, especially General Xu. This feat... is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea. The future is immeasurable!"

"Hey...it doesn't have much to do with you, and your surname is not Xu..."

"It has nothing to do with me! But it has something to do with Mr. Xu! General Xu is Mr. Xu's younger brother, so Mr. Xu can get some glory along with him!"

"Hey...Let's talk about it after passing the level in front of us..."

"What's the matter with you! Can you stop moaning like this!"

"Hey…"

Those who spoke seemed to end up unhappy.

The heavy rain poured from head to toe, and Xu Shaoqing's expression couldn't be discerned in the rain curtain. He waited, then opened the tent and went in.

Without saying anything, a figure came running from afar.After stepping on the ground, the soldiers shouted in the rain: "Master Xu! The enemy sent a battle card!"

The three people in the account were shocked: Battle post?Under such circumstances, how could An Jun send a battle post?It is impossible for Jizhou to fight...

Shaking off the water in his hands, Xu Shaoqing took the battle invitation, but after seeing it, his eyes widened.

There are two other officials in the account.The emotional one of the two was Hao Duoyu. Seeing Xu Shaoqing staring at the battle post, he leaned over and asked, "Master Xu! What did An Jun say!"

Xu Shaoqing had a strange expression: "...An army has been unable to attack Hongsha Pass for a long time. Sending this battle post is not an appointment to fight, but... an attempt to surrender."

"Surrender!?" Hao Duoyu's beard was about to fly up: "Fuck the fuck! Who would surrender! They're just trying to get shit!"

The other one was named Wang Zai who kept moaning and sighing. Wang Zai was sitting on the small couch with his hands in his sleeves and hunched over.Hearing what Xu Shaoqing said, his eyes drooped even more, and he let out a long "hey" again.

Hao Duoyu saw that Xu Shaoqing had pinched the battle post to the point of deformation, and was a little anxious, so he went over and looked down at the battle post.

Seeing this, Hao Duoyu was furious: "What? Let us open the gate? Promise to be promoted and rewarded after taking Jizhou? I'll fuck him! Master Xu, this general dares to think!"

Qi Ao was so stared at by Yan Liao that he couldn't lift his head, his hands and fingers were mixed together, a little embarrassed: "If your majesty has nothing else to do, I will step back first."

"...back off."

After Qi Ao left, Yan Liao came to his senses.
