empress and princess

The night fell into silence, and there was no sound around the valley, not even a breath of wind.

The crescent moon in the sky is like a hook, and the faint silver light obliquely illuminates the cold tombstone. Under the moonlight, only one lonely shadow is ruthlessly elongated.

Now Chu Huaimin sits withered all night in front of the tomb of 7 people.

When a ray of light suddenly appeared from the east, it indifferently stimulated people to close their red eyes, and when they opened them again, even Xu Yang couldn't warm the heart that had fallen into the abyss, and the whole person was like a cold pool.

"Your Highness, it's time to go." Chen Hao, Chu Huaimin's entourage, silently stood by her side for the rest of the night.

"They...they will rest in peace under the Nine Springs, and they will also bless the Chu Kingdom for generations to come." Speaking of this, Chen Hao suddenly felt like a stick in his throat, and his nose was extremely sore.

For generations to come?[-] elite soldiers were buried here, and the main force of the Chu State was almost wiped out. How could there be generations to come!

There was silence for a while, only to see a pair of blood-red eyeballs move slightly, Chu Huaimin curled the corner of his lower lip mockingly, his hands and feet were numb after sitting for a long time, and after a while, he stood up, faced the tombstone, and put his hand on the top of the monument.

The six characters "Tomb of Heroic Soul of Chu State" are engraved on it, and each character hides killing and destruction, splashing blood and deep hatred.

Chu Huaimin closed his eyes deeply, bent his knuckles as if he wanted to dig into this grave, and moved his lips for a long time: "I'm sorry, forgive me for being late, and I can't take you home." His voice was hoarse and hoarse.

If you don't rest that night, is it still too late to rescue them from the mountains of swords and seas of fire and bring them back to the state of Chu?

God made too much of a joke, and she was powerless to watch her soldiers die.

"Your Highness, it is not appropriate to stay here for long." Chen Hao urged again, and said with pain: "Qin Jihuang only gave us three days, and today is the last day. She has [-] cavalry, which is really dangerous to us."

Chu Huaimin caressed the cold stele, lowered his eyes, without tears or spirits, "Prepare your horse."

From now on, in this life, I will carry a grave on my shoulders.

Shaoqing brought the 'Chang Fu', and after getting on the horse, she stared at the whole valley, raised her whip and hissed, and galloped away, but even after running ten miles away, her nose was still full of bloody smell.

And the morning sun hanging high in the sky soon filled the valley with golden brilliance.

There is a saying in the world that is really good, that is, people are not as good as heaven.

Who would have guessed that the fate in this world is so wonderful, even if you deliberately avoid it, you will still run into each other after going around.

Coincidentally, this is the scene right now——

Early in the morning, the [-] cavalry led by the King of Qin had just left five miles away when they bumped into the [-] soldiers of Chu State head-on. The two armies bumped into each other. , Draw your sword and rush into the enemy at any time.

The leading generals of the two armies were not confused, and it was not suitable for fighting at this time.

So the atmosphere was naturally rigid.

"Qin Jiufeng!" As the loser, Chu State was defeated but refused to lose any momentum. Chen Hao stared at the God of War in Qin State, gritted his teeth and said harshly, "You remember this account, and sooner or later you will have to pay for it with blood!" , dead without a whole body!"

Prince Qin Jiu was so heroic, of course he scoffed at him, he didn't even look at the unknown soldier in front of him, his eyes fell on the woman in white, and he didn't even need to address him.

"Everything is first come first, we come first, you are blocking the way, isn't that right?"

"Stop being arrogant!"

"You don't have the right to intervene when this king is talking to your master, get lost."

"you……"

"It's okay to let them pass first." Chu Huaimin cut off his words at the right time.

If the eldest princess hadn't stopped him, Chen Hao would have liked to swallow Qin Jiufeng alive.

The situation was strong and we were weak, and he had no ability to fight back at all. Chu Huaimin endured the humiliation and withdrew his horse and urged his horse to make way.

Chu Huaimin watched coldly, and when someone approached her side, she pursed her lips and said coldly, "Please trouble Ninth Prince to remember this account."

Hearing this, Qin Jiufeng immediately raised his chin, turned his head to look at Chu Huaimin, straightened his face, and said, "One person does the work and the other bears the burden. Just come to seek revenge from this king."

After speaking, Qin Jiufeng glanced sideways at the carriage behind him.

In the carriage, Li Shizhou held up the corner of the curtain, happened to meet her gaze, and said softly, "Don't you take a look, Your Majesty?"

Qin Tangjing was holding a roll of military records, her face was hidden inside, her eyes fluttered, and then she remembered the eight-character motto given to her by the eldest princess. In the end, she acted as if nothing had happened, and held the military records even tighter.

It took a while before the voice came out, "Prime Minister Li, can you plead guilty?"

Finally started asking questions, Li Shizhou immediately fell to the ground, "Admit it."

"Why did you betray me?" His tone was calm.

Li Shizhou smiled wryly and said: "I really have no choice but to punish you if the king wants to punish you, I will say nothing."

The king of Qin hated betraying what she knew the most in her life, and she did it if she did it. Anyway, the promise to the queen mother has been completed, and she feels that it is worthwhile to die in the hands of the king of Qin in front of her, but...

"Your Majesty, I can't die." Li Shizhou suddenly changed his words, stood up straight and said this sentence.

Qin Tangjing raised his eyebrows, "Tell me the reason why you can't die."

"First, the king needs ministers; second, the minister has not seen the king rule the world, and he will not die in peace; third, the prince will not let the minister die."

"Prime Minister Li, can the lonely king still trust you?"

"Your Majesty has been taught by his ministers since he was a child. Your Majesty knows what kind of person you are." Li Shizhou lowered his head, put his hands on the ground and saluted respectfully, "I am willing to make up for my mistakes. I also ask Your Majesty to keep my life."

Qin Tangjing was thinking of the teacher-student relationship, so naturally he would not take Li Shizhou's life, not to mention the three reasons were enough to keep her alive.

Trust this kind of thing, Qin Tangjing doesn't trust anyone except the little emperor's uncle and the queen mother.

Uncle Xiao Huang did not kill Li Shizhou, there must be a reason for Uncle Xiao Huang, she would not do it privately.

"The lonely king will trust you again, get up."

"Thank you for not killing me, Your Majesty." Li Shizhou breathed a sigh of relief, sat aside and wiped the cold sweat off his cheeks, seeing how frightened she was.

Qin Tang glanced at her, "Speak to Little Huangshu later, send a message to King Wei to declare war."

"The minister obeys the order."

The young monarch will eventually grow up after experiencing too many storms. Afterwards, the carriage returned to silence and drove forward slowly, while Qin Tangjing continued to read her book of war without looking outside from the beginning to the end.

A few days later, the news of the killing of the captives spread to the Palace of the King of Qin, causing an uproar among the officials, and the Queen Mother Wei still closed the palace.

The operation continued as usual, and Shu Yudian, grandpa and grandson, and their confidantes began to discuss the next action.

"The extermination of the captives has been completed, and they have turned against each other. Now is Qin Jihuang's weakest time, why can't he send troops?" Qin Mingyue frowned tightly, a little displeased by the rebuttal.

Doctor Li still shook his head, "Qin Jihuang still has strength, we have little chance of winning, and it's not time for a decisive battle yet."

With an army of 20, the general is still Qin Jiufeng, and it is really difficult to fight.

The world has been in chaos so far, and there are constant melees between countries. I'm afraid that they will fight bloody and others will take the opportunity to enter.

Qin Mingyue had no choice but to put away her thoughts, and sneered: "Well, after all, we are still a family, and it will be settled in the end, so the next step is Chu State?"

After deliberation, the confidantes no longer objected, and unanimously decided to fight Chu!

Although it is okay to attack Wei State, but Qin Jihuang is on top of Wei State. Dr. Li speculated that Qin Jihuang is bound to attack Wei State, so the risk of meeting is not small. The target is placed on the Chu State after the prisoner is killed.

The Chu State, which had lost many soldiers, suffered such a painful blow, and it was nothing to worry about without its troops. If it goes to war at this time, it will definitely win a big victory.

"We would also like to thank Your Majesty for helping to clear the snow in front of the door." Qin Mingyue suddenly became happy, sitting on the throne like a victor, looking down on all the courtiers under the seat.It turns out that the taste of controlling other people's life and death is so wonderful.

The king who had always been aloof was trampled under his feet viciously, and finally couldn't hold back his hearty laugh. When he laughed, his confidants laughed too, and they flattered him again.

Qin Mingyue couldn't help being complacent, thinking of Han Wenxiu who refused to submit, she immediately ordered: "Go, bring Han Wenxiu up."

Soon, Han Wenxiu, who was tied up, was thrown into the palace.

"Traitor!" He glared, and spat at Qin Mingyue contemptuously.

Qin Mingyue didn't care about it, walked down the steps, and kicked him, "Qin Jiufeng slaughtered your entire clan, it's fine if you don't take revenge, and you still serve them. Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Han family?"

Han Wenxiu rolled twice, his forehead hit the stone steps, his skin was broken and blood flowed, and his eyes were instantly stained red.With a still disdainful expression on his face, he licked the blood that flowed from his mouth, and replied: "The Han family deserves to die, the prince did a good job."

Qin Mingyue snorted softly, "You really don't want to submit to me?"

"Don't think about it!"

"What benefit did Qin Jihuang give you to make you so loyal?" Qin Mingyue sighed.

"Stop talking nonsense, it kind of kills me."

"It's true that a master with a temper will have a slave."

Seeing Qin Mingyue's killing intent, Dr. Li felt something was wrong, so he stepped up in time to stand in front of Han Wenxiu to stop him, and persuaded solemnly: "Mingyue, this person must not move."

Qin Mingyue paused, snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and sat back on the throne, "It's not for my use, I originally wanted to kill you, but you have made too many military exploits for Qin, killing you may chill the hearts of the soldiers, so I won't kill you."

Han Wenxiu was alone, and it didn't matter to him whether he died or not, but it was a pity that he couldn't fight the world with the king at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Mingyue said again: "General Han, since you are absent, I will let you go and report a letter to your master."

Han Wenxiu was taken aback.

Dr. Li did not stop this time, but several confidants tried their best to persuade him.

General Han Wenxiu, who is proficient in military tactics, how can he let go at will, and going to Qin Tangjing's side will undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger.What a stupid decision!It's just that the confidantes tried their best to talk, but they didn't shake Qin Mingyue even a bit.

Han Wenxiu's prestige in the army is second only to Li Shiqin, so many people will definitely follow him if he raises his arms, and it will be more harmful to stay by his side.

So that day, Han Wenxiu left the city and headed north.

When the news reached the Supreme Palace, Wei Si, who hadn't left for half a month, was standing on the bridge to feed the fish.

The wind kept blowing, the figure was alone, and her voice was lonely: "Going away?"

The maid bowed her head, "Yes."

"It's fine to go." Wei Si sprinkled the fish food down, looked at the fish scrambling to eat under the water, and thought of her own situation, she looked lonely, looked at the reflection on the lake and felt sorry for herself, "Everyone is leaving now. Now, only Ai's family is still in this palace, and Ai's family is guarding the country of Qin and the king's country, it's really tiring."

Upon hearing this, the maid asked softly, "Does the Empress Dowager want to rest?"

"Ai's family can't sleep." Wei Si sighed, when she closed her eyes, it was her daughter Ji Huang, Qin Jiufeng and Li Shizhou were beside Ji Huang, Ji Huang should be safe and sound, but as a mother, she was still worried about her daughter.

She murmured: "I don't know what the three of you are doing at this moment."

After driving for more than ten days overnight, Han Wenxiu finally caught up with the main force.

As soon as the man arrived, he immediately asked to see the King of Qin. He was out of breath and said the first sentence: "Your Majesty! That fellow Qin Mingyue personally conquered the Kingdom of Chu. He said that whoever invades the capital of Chu first will own the Kingdom of Chu!"
