empress and princess

Chapter 35 The Empress and the Eldest Princess 17

This is true——

The month before last, Song Rong and others were walking halfway and suddenly received a letter for help from the king of Zhao. He blatantly abandoned the queen and changed his way halfway. Come.

In the end, Song Rong had no choice but to lead troops to garrison Yancheng, cutting off the last way for Qin Tang to destroy Zhao.

An army of 20 is not a small number. Compared with Qin Tangjing's less than [-] soldiers and horses, the Qin army has passed all the way, fought countless battles, large and small, almost tired, and could not stand the war of attrition.

As long as Song Rong insists on not sending troops, there is nothing he can do about her.

And in today's battle of kings, there is no doubt that Song Rong was defeated by Qin Tangjing's sword, but she did not withdraw a single soldier, but she kindly helped Qin Tangjing show the way.

So that this rebellious and invincible king of Qin can see for himself that she is not afraid of fighting with thousands of troops in the Song Dynasty!

In the distance, the barracks with the 'Song' flag stretched for tens of miles like mountains, and the roar of the soldiers practicing in the barracks could be faintly heard, like demonstrations.

"Thousands of calculations, but Song Rong is the only one who is missing. He is really an 'unarmed' third prince. Mistake, the lonely king is really a mistake." Qin Tangjing was still shaking her Jiangshan Fan, unhurriedly, But his face was cold, and the chest hit by Song Rong began to ache.

Li Shizhou watched from the side, and said: "Song's military strength must be empty at this time."

Qin Tangjing also thought of this and sneered, "Since Song Rongshe protects Zhao, it's not as good as the lonely king to do what she wants, from Zhao directly to Song, and destroy her lair!"

"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Not just a little hard, but very, very difficult.

"Chu country?"

"Yes, there is a detour from the State of Zhao to the State of Song, and there is a state in the middle - the State of Chu."

Chu and Song had always been on good terms, and Song Rong was so confident that he would take away the main force in the country. If it was said that there was no support from Chu, she, Qin Jihuang, would be the first to believe it.

At this time, the king of Chu hated Qin Guozheng hated his superiors, how could he be willing to give way?

In case Qin State falls one day, he, the King of Chu, will definitely step on it first.

One after another, Qin Tangjing's face turned cold again, "In this way, the lonely king invites the eldest princess of Chu to come out of the mountain, girl, do you think it is feasible?"

"You can give it a try."

Not long after these words fell, the sky was still blue one moment before, and the next moment was covered with dark clouds, and the sky was as unpredictable as the world.

Immediately, the gloomy sky was livid with lightning and thunder.

The wind blew damn hard again, messing up his robes and rattling his folding fan.At first, a drop of water fell on Qin Tangjing's cheek, two drops, three drops... Finally, it was as thin and dense as a needle prick.

On that side, the king of Qin led his people to the place where Song Rong pointed the way, and Chu Huaimin was the only one who returned to the camp first.

The eldest princess was sent back by King Qin to apply medicine.

Song Rong slashed Chu Huaimin's arm, and half of his fluttering white clothes were dyed red again. It looked very scary, but in fact the injury was not deep, it was just a crack in the skin and flesh, and the blood flowed a lot, and it had already solidified.

"Princess, are you... hurt again?"

Chu Huaimin said it was a minor injury and he could take the medicine himself, but Chen Hao didn't make a fuss, so he had to pull the female military doctor over to feel relieved.The female military doctor showed the eldest princess a few times, but every time it was a muscle injury, so this time she also brought a golden gun to stop bleeding.

As soon as the maid heard that the eldest princess was injured, she immediately went to make nourishing soup. When she went, she was clean and tidy, but when she returned, she looked very pitiful.

There was a torrential rain outside the tent, and the steaming soup bowl was sent to Chu Huaimin without any rainwater.

The maid saw that Chu Huaimin's face was pale, and her weak body became weaker due to several injuries. Thinking of this, her eyes were red and shed tears, "Your Highness, drink it while it's hot, and make up for the lost blood."

"Go and change your clothes first, don't catch a cold."

"Your servant is fine. Although your life is worthless, your servant also knows that you only have one life. If you lose it, you will really lose it... Your Highness follows King Qin every day in the wind and rain. Either you get hurt here or there, and your servant is I can't see His Highness being wronged like this! This country of Qin is worse than our country of Chu, and His Highness is at least in good health in Chu!"

The maid almost cried because of grievance, Chu Huaimin pinched her face helplessly, "Keep your voice down, don't let people listen to you."

"Slaves are not afraid of death, they will die anyway..."

"My life is hard, I can't die."

"But I can't bear this injury, so it will hurt too. I blame that shameless rascal. If it wasn't for her...if it wasn't for her..."

If it weren't for Qin Jihuang's scoundrel, the eldest princess would not have to suffer thousands of miles away!

"Okay, stop talking. Be obedient, go down and change your wet clothes." Chu Huaimin felt a bottomless hole outside the tent.The soup is hot and fragrant, the right hand is bowling with the left hand, and for a while, I can't even hold the small soup steadily, and my fingertips tremble slightly.

The maid sobbed and didn't notice her abnormality, she just put a small bottle of porcelain on the table, "Your Highness, this is a scar removal plaster."

"Where did you come from?"

"That's right, that's right..." The maid bit her lip and struggled, and finally said cruelly, "King Qin gave it to my servant early in the morning, saying that it would remove the scars and leave no marks, so my servant accepted it."

Chu Huaimin froze for a moment, and threw a few drops of soup out with his left hand unsteadily.

He didn't say anything, just hummed lightly.

It was still raining outside the tent, and after drinking the hot soup, Chu Huaimin was tired and leaned over slightly, resting his forehead with his hand in a deep sleep.

"King Qin stay! Your Royal Highness is dealing with injuries, so it is not appropriate to see people." Chen Hao raised his head and chest in front of the camp tent, blocking Qin Tangjing, and chased him away politely, "King Qin, please go back."

The courage of this loyal servant who protects the lord is commendable. He has never been afraid of power. Counting the three generations of his ancestors, he was from Qin, and he was of the same ancestor as Qin.The young man is full of vitality, with the freshness and elegance of the Chu people, and the high-spirited and vigorous Qin people.

Qin Tangjing admired him very much and was not annoyed, "You are not allowed to see only one side?"

"Forgive me." Chen Hao held his neck and refused to let go.

"Do you know whose territory this is?"

As soon as Qin Tangjing said this, Han Wenxiu immediately stepped forward and stared.

Chen Hao was indifferent, and stayed where he was, "The ministers only know that my master has been injured many times since he followed you, King Qin."

This sentence made Qin Tangjing stunned for a moment, and laughed back angrily.

The curtain was lifted at this moment, and someone came and scolded: "Chen Hao, don't be rude." It was Chu Huaimin, who was asleep, who heard Qin Tangjing's voice and came out to meet her in person.

Due to the appearance of the eldest princess, Chen Hao had no choice but to apologize, but he still refused to accept it.

The two masters entered the account, Han Wenxiu still stared at Chen Hao, and warned in a low voice: "What do you say you fool against the king, if it's not that the king is too lazy to care about it, if you anger the king, be careful to cut off your head."

"If you cut it, you can cut it. If I, Chen Hao, blink, I'm not a real man." Chen Hao is fearless.

Han Wenxiu laughed angrily, "Think about your master as well as yourself, what good will this do for you?"

Chen Hao choked for a while when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered that Qin's goal had not been achieved...

Cold sweat slowly broke out from behind his back.

After a while, an order came from inside: make a bowl of ginger soup.

Ginger soup dispels dampness and warms the stomach. Naturally, it is the king of Qin who was drenched in the rain.When she came back, it was already raining heavily, and most of her clothes were wet, so she went into the tent and took off her cold wet clothes, leaving only her underwear.

Qin Tangjing rolled up his sleeves, saw that Chu Huaimin's face was much better than when he was injured, and asked, "Song Rong's martial arts are better than yours?"

"Maybe." Chu Huaimin replied lightly, "I've never compared before, this is the first time."

"No wonder, she is really a hidden master." Qin Tangjing sat down and took a sip of hot water first.

Chu Huaimin walked over and handed her a brocade cloth, "She still lost to you."

"I didn't get anything cheap, so I took her slap for nothing." Qin Tangjing wiped his wet hair and thought it would be a hindrance, so he simply tore off the jade crown and left his hair disheveled.

Chu Huaimin lowered his eyes. At that time, Qin Tangjing clearly had the upper hand. During the fight, Song Rong must have said something to distract Qin Tangjing. She was far away at that time, so she didn't hear it clearly.

"Guess what I saw?" Suddenly said.

"20 troops." Chu Huaimin replied simply.

"Yes, a total of 20." Qin Tangjing looked up at her, half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Can you erase these 20 troops from this world?"

Chu Huaimin said without hesitation, "No."

Nor is it possible.

"Coincidentally, neither do I. So, I would like to ask the eldest princess for a favor."

"What's the matter?" Chu Huaimin's eyelids twitched, and the thin scar on the side of his brow was particularly red because of his frowning.

Qin Tangjing smiled slightly, his eyes clear.Without saying a word, Chu Huaimin felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, only feeling the slight pain in her injured arm, which made her more clear-headed to face the coming storm.

At this time, someone outside the curtain said, "Princess, ginger soup is ready."

Chu Huaimin got up and left, and when he turned around again, Qin Tangjing was still smiling brightly.Her lips were red and her teeth were white, her black hair fell down her shoulders, and she held her chin and blinked, "The eldest princess cares so much about the lonely king, does she have any thoughts about the lonely king?"

Chu Huaimin still said without thinking, "No."

"Oh? That's right." Qin Tangjing smiled inexplicably, as if he wanted to play to the end, "Who often makes chicken soup for the lonely king, and who often eats and sleeps with the lonely king."

Chu Huaimin pursed his lips and was speechless, brought ginger soup to her, and sat down by himself.

The ginger soup tasted bitter, but it tasted a little sweet. When Qin Tangjing put down the bowl, he also said: "The lonely king decided to attack Song State, please order Chu State to make way."

Chu Huaimin's face changed slightly, and Qin Tangjing continued: "Although you have come to my Daqin, you don't need to explain your status in Chu State, Chu Huaimin, right? Song Rong changed his way halfway to stop me from destroying Zhao State. Why can't you detour and go straight to Song State? As long as you order the guards at the Song Pass to let our army enter, the benefits will be indispensable to you Chu State."

After a while Chu Huaimin raised his eyes, "What are the benefits of King Qin?"

"Return all twenty cities to Chu State." Qin Tangjing rubbed the edge of the bowl with his fingertips, his eyes locked on Chu Huaimin's, "Or, it is not impossible to let you go back to Chu State."

Chu Huaimin didn't change his face, "The king of Qin led a hundred thousand troops into the territory of Chu, how should I trust you?"

When it comes to the country, the two have their own ghosts and will not give in.

However, the opportunity to fight can't wait, take advantage of the emptiness of Song Kingdom at this time, and kill him with one blow!

"The solitary king is a king, and he promises everything he says. He promises that he will never occupy an inch if he doesn't move Chu." Qin Tangjing was very clear about Chu Huaimin's scruples, and she raised her eyebrows, "You don't believe me?"

"Did the King of Qin forget that the courtier's daughter has left the state of Chu, and the courtier's daughter has no power?" Chu Huaimin just couldn't afford to gamble.

Qin Tang's eyes sank, and a corner of the bowl was crushed by her.

She was thoughtful, and her tone was unusually calm: "What do you mean, that you don't want to help the lonely king?"

The calmer the waves, the louder the rain and thunder outside.During the stalemate, the harmony of the past seems to be an illusion, and it has disappeared in the interests of gains and losses at this moment.

"My daughter suggested that it would be more appropriate for the King of Qin to discuss with the King of Chu," Chu Huaimin said softly.

There was a disagreement, so the stalemate remained the same.

One of the two was eager to destroy Zhao Song, and the other dared not bet on the entire Chu State.

This is a dead end with no solution, also——no compromise!

Qin Tangjing suddenly leaned forward and pinched Chu Huaimin's chin with his fingers, forcing her to look up at him, "You belong to the lonely king, how dare you disobey the lonely king?"

His chin was pinched with fingerprints, Chu Huaimin's expression remained the same, "Don't dare."

Qin Tang was so excited that he clenched his hand into a fist while still not letting go of the other hand, and asked word by word: "Isn't the eldest princess fearless? How could she not?"

"The ministers dare not."

Really dare not.

Qin Tangjing felt dizzy, and asked the last sentence: "You don't believe me?"

After confronting each other for a long time, two heart-breaking words finally came out of the eldest princess's mouth: "I don't believe it."

When leaving the tent, Qin Tangjing overturned the case on the side, plunged into the rain, and sneered, "The lonely king was so dazed by the rain that he thought of going back to the palace and making you his queen!"
