and leave

Lu Yiqing originally thought that the young man he saw at the banquet today was quite weird, but after hearing Shen Wangshu's words, he felt even more so.Even if the brain hole is enlarged, who can see it but others can't?Of course it's a ghost!

The young couple looked at each other for a while, feeling that the early spring wind was getting colder, and even brought a bit of chill.

Fortunately, they knew that the priest of Qin Kingdom was unusual, so the two of them calmed down and determined the identity of the young priest.Since she is a priest, and she is a priest who looks quite miraculous, she must be no worse than Muren in the past—this can be regarded as a kind of intuition—so even Muren could tell at a glance that there is something different in her soul. Now how can he hide it from this weird priest?

Lu Yiqing figured it out clearly that the priests of the state of Qin must be on the opposite side of her, so it would not be a wise choice to be manipulated early.Because of this, she gave up the idea of ​​continuing to negotiate peace with Wei Jingrong, and directly refused to enter the city next time.In order not to show up too much, the other party believes that he has a position in the Wei Family Army, so he can use this as a bargaining chip to advance the peace talks.

In other words, both Lu Yiqing and Wei Jingrong are willing to pay the price, but they cannot lose their initiative because of this.

Wei Jingrong did not get an explanation, but based on years of trust between the two parties, he agreed.After Shen Wangshu got the explanation, she didn't say anything, even thinking about the invisible young man, she felt a little flabbergasted when she asked herself that she was not small in courage.

When they fell asleep that night, it was rare for the two of them to change positions.It was always Lu Yiqing who slept in Shen Wangshu's arms, but tonight it was Shen Wangshu who was sleeping in Lu Yiqing's arms, and before going to bed, she tightly grabbed a piece of her clothes - some things are strange to hear at first. I didn't realize it, but after thinking about it afterwards, the more I thought about it, the more terrifying I felt, and it is normal to feel uneasy.

That night, Shen Wangshu didn't sleep well, but Lu Yiqing slept soundly with his wife in his arms.

The next day, as Wei Jingrong said, the Wei family army did not go to the capital of Qin anymore. The major general got excited and took his Shenji Battalion to practice under the city walls of the capital of Qin.The horseshoe galloped, shouted and shouted to kill, and after frightening the soldiers of the Qin State guarding the city on the tower, with their heads held high proudly, Shi Shiran returned to the camp with the army.

It has been like this for three days in a row. Wei Jingrong's behavior is clearly to put pressure on Qin, but the people of Qin really can't ignore him-the soldiers are not tired of deceit, who knows whether the practice at this moment will become a real sword in the next moment Fighting with real guns?

Lu Yiqing took Shen Wangshu to watch the excitement for two days, but on the third day he didn't have the interest to continue watching, so he took Shen Wangshu to gallop on the grassland in his free time.Fortunately, he caught a rabbit that was not scared away by the army. Unfortunately, Shen Wangshu didn't seem to have any preference for furry, so that rare silly rabbit became an extra meal on the dinner table that night.

The major general came again at dinner time, maybe he heard the news from the kitchen, and he came to share half of their rabbits.But at the same time, it also brought the latest news, Qin finally couldn't hold back, and sent envoys to the barracks to invite peace talks.

In this regard, the Wei Jiajun is naturally happy to see the results. After all, the current Wei Jiajun looks good on the surface. In fact, there may be people in Chang'an who are holding back at any time.So the Wei family father and son discussed it, and decided to continue the peace talks. Wei Jingrong came here to ask Lu Yiqing about his plan, but he was rejected unexpectedly.

Wei Jingrong didn't ask any further questions, let alone make things difficult for her. After eating the rabbit and leaving a pile of bones, he patted his ass and left.

For the next few days, Wei Jingrong left early and returned late, and he was still talking about the peace talks.It's just that with Lu Yiqing and General Wei behind the staff, Wei Jingrong just gritted his teeth every day, and then tested the opponent's bottom line little by little.

During this period, Lu Yiqing remained calm and didn't show up, but she didn't know that when she was thinking about the high priest of Qin, there were also many people in Qin who were thinking about her—the way the high priest said to break the situation. Man, how come you have been there once and then disappeared?Could it be that the drinking that day scared people?But in the end, she was the only one who was sober among Wei Jiajun's banquet party!

However, no matter what the two sides thought, Lu Yiqing decided to come forward before the dust settled.

****************************************************************************

The northwestern side has been fighting fiercely throughout the winter, and the Wei family army even opened up the grassland and directly marched under the capital of Qin, but Chang'an City still looks like singing and dancing. The enthusiasm for wine in the Western Regions has not yet faded. He showed up at the palace banquet and King Xiang's banquet, and the price of wine was fired to a new high.

The emperor and King Xiang made a lot of money because of this, and turned around and used the money they earned to invest in endless battles.As for the flimsy battle reports in the Northwest during the winter of last year, I don't know where they were thrown.

And just at the moment when the singing and dancing were prospering, but the waves were undercurrents, the sixth batch of envoys from the Qin State finally arrived in Chang'an.

It was a matter of the survival of the Qin State, and the envoy's journey after entering the customs was obviously very fast, and he even rushed to Chang'an in order to speed up.During the period, the government had sent news back to Chang'an, and the post stations along the way also reported the itinerary, but the people of Qin State were good at riding horses, and they could run faster than the post envoys of Liang State.Therefore, it was not until the Qin envoy arrived in Chang'an that the official document delivered by the post envoy was long overdue.

It is conceivable how confused Liang Guochaotang must be in the face of the envoy of Qin State who "falls from the sky".If the letter of credence and a token brought by the envoy could not withstand repeated inspections, they would have to be treated as a fake envoy and dealt with directly.

However, it was not only the sudden arrival of the envoy from Qin State that made Liang Guochaotang stunned, but also the letter of credence and news he brought with him was like a thunderbolt, and the whole court was stunned—thanks to the slow response of the ceremony officer who received the envoy that day He didn't show any shock until he was urged to leave by the envoy of Qin, otherwise, if the emperor met the envoy of Qin on the spot, the other party would be able to see the stunned look of the majestic emperor.

The emperor and his ministers were shocked for a whole day, and on the second day they each packed up and participated in an extra court meeting.The theme of the court meeting is naturally in the northwest, in the Wei family army, and in Qin State, which is the capital of the country.

King Xiang was the first to smell ambition in the actions of the Wei family army, so as soon as he came to the court that day, someone from King Xiang's party stepped forward and first read the book of General Wei.The timing of the play is well-organized, and every word and every sentence can be regarded as the key point.

For example, the Wei family army used troops privately without telling the court, and directly captured the state of Qin.Another example is that the Wei family army has received limited supplies from the court over the years. Frankly speaking, they can't afford to support an army of [-]. How did they raise enough food and military supplies to start the war?There was even Xiliang City mentioned by the Qin envoy, the establishment of a city was unknown to the court!

One by one, as long as you don't have a clear mind, you can understand the deep meaning of it.

Emperor Yankang was cowardly, but he wasn't really stupid, so he naturally thought of it.However, in his opinion, the Wei family army is still far away after all, and the ancestors of the Wei family can be regarded as a loyal family. If the court hadn't treated them too harshly these years, they would certainly not have thought about these outrageous things.

In Emperor Yankang's view, the threat of the Wei family army was far inferior to King Xiang, who had fought with him for several years in the court.Therefore, in the face of King Xiang's party's remonstrance, he weighed half of it in his heart, and half of it again.

Therefore, when no one in the court spoke for the Wei family army, Emperor Yankang took the lead in absolving them, and even said sincerely: "The Wei family army's move is quite inappropriate, but considering the situation, It is not unforgivable. Everyone in the court knows that the treasury has been empty in the past two years, and the food and payment sent to the northwest has been insufficient. There are always barbarians harassing the side of the Qin State, and it is only right for the Wei Family Army to fight back. They used war to support war and opened up the territory for our Great Liang. Instead of rewarding me, I blamed it instead. Don’t you guys feel that this action has made the soldiers feel cold?”

Speaking of later, Emperor Yankang himself moved himself.However, no matter whether the Emperor's Party or the King's Party in the court, after hearing his words, they felt their throats choked up, and they almost spat out a mouthful of old blood—what did you say so as not to chill the hearts of the soldiers? How much food and salaries are lacking for the garrisons in various places, don't you really have any idea of ​​that amount in your heart, Your Majesty? !

In the court hall, the atmosphere was treacherous, and Yan Yankang was unconscious, and waved his hand lightly: "Forget it, we will discuss the matter of the Wei family army later. What about the envoys of the Qin Kingdom, didn't they come to ask for peace? Bring it here for me to see."

When he said this, he was a little elated, apparently still remembering the arrogance of those Qin prisoners four years ago.

All the ministers looked at each other, and many people went to see King Xiang who was standing in the front row, only to see that his face was dark and he was obviously out of breath.It's just that for some reason, it didn't happen immediately, and seeing the ministers, they even waved at them.

Sitting high on the throne, Emperor Yankang naturally had a panoramic view of all this. He felt a little uncomfortable because of the reaction of the officials, and also because of King Xiang's expression.Fortunately, no one dared to openly disobey the emperor's oral order. Outside the palace, some palace people who heard the order left in a hurry and brought the envoy of Qin who had been waiting outside the palace gate into the Xuanzheng Palace where the court meeting was held. .

Today is different from the past, this time the Qin envoy's attitude is not as strong as before. He even eagerly offered the conditions at the beginning to show the sincerity of the peace talks - there is no way, the Qin envoy heard that the guards were approaching before entering the pass. The news about Qindu, God knows whether Qindu has been captured in the past few days.Moreover, he knew that many envoys before him had failed before entering the pass, and he felt a heavy burden on him.

Emperor Yankang was not an arrogant person, and the arrogance of those Qin prisoners four years ago is still vivid in his memory. Seeing the humble attitude of the Qin envoy, he put on a higher stance.

At the end of a court meeting, the envoy of Qin failed to get any promise from Emperor Yankang, but was teased by the emperor.

Back in the bedroom, Emperor Yankang was very happy after venting his anger. He even patted the armrest of the chair and said to the left and right: "The Wei family army has expanded the territory and expanded the territory and promoted the prestige of our country. It is really a great achievement, and it should be commended."

Unlike Emperor Yankang, who had been aggrieved for many years and only cared about being silly, King Xiang was obviously much more sober, but when he returned to the mansion, he went to the princess first to lose his temper: "Look at the good deeds you did. Beijing, and let them set up a line with the Wei family army. Now it's good, the Wei family army has the great help of the Lu family, and the court has no way to contain them, and sooner or later there will be chaos!"

Princess Xiang's complexion was not very good, but she brushed her hair up pretending to be calm, and said: "I remember that the head of the Lu family went back to Jinling. Since he is in Jinling, you can send someone to get it."

King Xiang sneered when he heard the words, shook his hands and left, I don't know if he took these words to heart.
