The snow is far and endless, and I feel cold in my limbs and warm in my heart.This winter seemed too long, and sometimes when his heart ached sharply, he didn't know if he could really survive it.He didn't even know if he hoped to get through it.Leaving at the time when they were most affectionate with Yi Qixing is cruel to Yi Qixing now, but it may be kind to them in the future.It's just that he is still reluctant and unwilling, because he had secretly promised that he would walk with Yi Qixing until the day they had to part ways.So he always tried his best to support himself not to fall when he was on the verge of falling. The days were both sweet and bitter.

Even though he is recuperating, Qi Luosheng is still rarely quiet. Many things are unavoidable for him as the son of Chu State and the "proton" of Yun State.For him, the quiet resting Wusi ordered by the palace doctor was completely out of the way, out of the way.

"My lord, Xiao Jiu found out that envoys from Chu and Yue countries have indeed arrived in Xindu today." When Xiao Jiu brought the news that he had been thinking about for many days, Qi Luosheng took out a letter from his father again from the book. "Family Letter".The coldness of the world is most vividly reflected in the prince's house. Last year, he stayed in the Yun Palace for half a year, and did not receive a single word of condolence from the King of Chu. That person seemed to have forgotten his son.But this year, not only the family letters kept coming, but also various Chu specialties were sent from time to time. Outsiders who don't know the reason for it are mostly envious of him.But many times receiving these letters and greetings from home is more of a heavy burden for Qi Luosheng.

"My lord, what is written in this letter? Has the King of Chu made you embarrass me again?"

Qi Luo gave a short sigh, shook his head and said, "What's the embarrassment? In my father's opinion, I am the son of Chu State, and doing these things for Chu State is what I deserve."

"Then what did he ask you to do this time?"

"After Yunguo assisted Chu and Yue in destroying Lingguo, the tomb belonged to Yunguo from the north of Jishan Mountain, and the south of Jishan Mountain was divided by Chu and Yue. But there is one place where the two countries have been fighting each other until now. I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, so I came to King Yun for a judgment, and let the strong decide the final ownership of this place."

"Then why is it so important that Chu Yue can't compete?"

"There is nothing in that land, but there is a mountain there, and the soil in that mountain can be used to make iron."

Xiao Jiu nodded and said: "Iron is precious! No wonder everyone wants it! So the King of Chu wants you to go to the King of Yun to plead for mercy and award this land to the State of Chu?"

Qi Luosheng nodded, and Xiao Jiu continued to ask: "Will the young master go talk to King Yun?"

Qi Luosheng asked back: "Do you think I should say it?"

Xiao Jiu thought for a while and said: "Xiao Jiu thinks it's better to talk, after all, it's just a few words for the young master, as long as the young master opens his mouth, King Yun will definitely agree, so our Chu country will take it." Great treasure!"

Qi Luosheng smiled lightly and said: "The last time my father sent King Yun three thousand catties of iron and stone, I expected this day to come. I thought about it for a long time, and decided not to ask for such a cheap favor."

"Why don't you go, son?"

"Thinking from the standpoint of King Yun, I guess he will award that land to the Yue Kingdom. I don't want to selfishly disturb his plan. As King Yun, he is my enemy, and he has no need to make concessions for me. .As Yi Qixing, although he protects me and cherishes me, he is not a foolish king whom I can seduce with sex. Therefore, I cannot ask for this favor."

"But my lord, what will Chu do in this case? Didn't you say that family and country are more important than personal relationships?"

Qi Luosheng reached out and touched Xiao Jiu's head, and said in a deep voice, "You are right. Don't worry Xiao Jiu, I have never forgotten that I am from Chu."

"Does the young man have any plans?"

"The reason why King Yun has allowed Chu and Yue to fight for so long without intervening is because the snipe and the clam are fighting for the benefit of the fisherman. His target is now in the northern countries, and the south has no time to plot. But he will not let the south go. Any country is big. My country of Chu is good at smelting iron, so naturally he will not award this iron ore land to Chu. It is his goal to let Chu and Yue compete, check and balance each other, and even kill each other."

"My lord, Xiao Jiu thinks it's weird?"

"Why, do you think there's something wrong with what I said?"

"No, how dare Xiaojiu question the young master's good intentions? It's just that when the young master and King Yun get along with each other on weekdays, they sing in harmony. That, there is no doubt about their love. But what you said just now made Xiaojiu feel that you are not lovers, but Yes, but like an enemy."

Qi Luosheng smiled wryly: "If he is just Yi Qixing and I am just Qi Luosheng, then our positions will never be at odds, but he is the king of Yun with the ambition of the world, and I am Chu who cannot abandon his family and country." My son, we will never end our old enemy." Yes, even though he has made a decision, there are still too many helpless things that make him in a dilemma during this long journey to the end.Qi Luosheng unconsciously sighed, and said again, "The reason why I don't promise what my father mentioned is because I don't want the grievances and grievances of my family and country to be mixed into our friendship. It's so difficult to be in harmony with the affairs of the world. ?”

"Then what is your master going to do about this matter?" Xiao Jiu also showed embarrassment.

Qi Luosheng answered the letter with a pen, and replied to Xiaojiu while writing:

"Now all I can do is to trust my father and third brother, and tell them everything I expected. If the two countries of Chu and Yue are not fighting each other, but helping each other, then the Spring and Autumn Period of the Southern Kingdom will not be overthrown quickly. The matter of the national destiny , It has little to do with a mere iron mine, the only way to build a country is to make the country rich and strong without external worries.”

Xiao Jiu looked at his son and said sincerely: "My son, if you are the king of Chu, then our Chu country must not be what it is now."

Qi Luosheng shook his head and said, "I don't have the potential to be a king. The most suitable person in this world to be a king is none other than Yi Qixing."

"King Yun? He is already the king of Yun Kingdom."

"Yes, so this world will be his sooner or later. But I have to be a stone on his way to become king of the world." This stone may help him achieve supremacy, or it may become his fetters.Hopefully, it's the former and not the latter.

"Master..." Xiao Jiu didn't know what to say to comfort his extremely vulnerable son.

"Okay, it's okay. Fate is determined by God, let's take one step at a time." Qi Luosheng retracted his pen, retracted his trembling hands into his sleeves, looked at the handwriting on the letter paper, which was obviously not as strong as before, and looked at it. There is no expression, but the heart sinks slightly, and I can't even hold the pen steadily. Is God's will really so stingy?No, he can't accept his fate, he wants to contend with the sky, even if he wants to leave that person, it's when he has to leave, not now.

The next day, King Yun was reviewing reports from various places in the warm pavilion, and the chief guard came to him for something.Yi Qixing dismissed a group of servants, and took a letter from him that was intercepted halfway. After reading it, King Yun folded the letter and handed it back, and ordered: "Arrange people to send it to the Chu Palace again."

"king……"

Seeing the loyal and loyal chief guard's hesitant appearance, King Yun easily guessed what he was thinking.Over the past year, Qi Luosheng has written to the King of Chu several times, and the content is very good and unfavorable to Chu, but King Yun always just read it, and after reading it, he sent the letter to the King of Chu again.Perhaps in the eyes of others, his behavior was a bit luscious, but King Yun didn't explain much. He just patted the shoulder of the chief guard and said: "You have your own judgment, you don't need to worry. From now on, Mr. Chu Don't intercept the letter and don't send it for the widow to read."

"But, Wang..."

"He never said a word in front of me. He respects me, and I should respect him. To compete, you need to be aboveboard."

After reflection, the chief guard gradually said suddenly: "I understand. I will obey the king's orders."

"Well, just trust your king, let's wait and see in the future!"

King Yun seemed determined to win, with a gratified and confident smile on the corner of his mouth, and secretly said in his heart:

"Qi Luosheng, you have the demeanor of being an enemy and cherishing each other, so I will repay you neither inferior nor negative." However, his expression soon became gloomy, "Is your body really all right? If there is no you in the future, How lonely it must be No matter what, the widow will keep you and never let you go, never."

Everything was within Qi Luosheng's expectation. After the court meeting, King Yun awarded the iron mine site to Yue State.The more satisfied he returned, the envoy of Chu felt extremely disappointed.Before leaving Xindu, this veteran minister with a high position in the Chu State asked to see Qi Luosheng.Qi Luosheng couldn't refuse, so people welcomed him respectfully.

In Zhiyuexuan, the envoy of Chu looked around at the elegant and simple palace room, and said with a half-smile: "I heard that the ninth son was favored and favored in King Yun's palace, and King Yun loved him very much, but still The old minister has seen it with his own eyes, rumors are rumors, and the young master's status in Yun Kingdom is probably not as good as it was when he was in Chu!"

Qi Luosheng smiled lightly, and replied: "Sir, you are right. I am originally the son of Chu, but not the son of Yun. Naturally, my status in Chu and Yun is different."

The envoy of Chu was flabbergasted, couldn't help humming, and said emphatically, "Young master is eloquent, how can we, who are pragmatic but dumb, can argue? But if you are so eloquent, why don't you plead with King Yun?"

Qi Luosheng poured himself a drink, let the peony fragrance flow into his heart to soothe his slight annoyance, and said lightly: "Mr. You are joking, how can you ask for favors in vain, Qi Luosheng is alone, and thinks that he has nothing to show kindness to King Yun. Why do you plead for mercy?"

The envoy of Chu said without hesitation: "Ha, the young master is used to joking. When the young master is comfortable serving King Yun between the beds, how can he not beg for mercy!"

Qi Luosheng put the cup in his hand firmly on the table, and couldn't help but emphasize his tone: "He is the king of the Yun Kingdom, and I am the son of the Chu Kingdom, how can I allow you to blaspheme!"

The envoy of Chu laughed three times: "My lord, if you want people not to
