empress and princess

three days later.

The sun is clear, the autumn sun is half-slanting, and the men and horses are exhausted. It's time for Mingjin to withdraw his troops again.

Qin Tangjing closed his eyes, reached the ground with the silver dagger, his posture was still very upright.

The fighting and shouting around weakened at this moment, and it seemed to be coming to an end.

It's just that her arms have been numb from the killing, she is in a state of exhaustion and exhaustion, and her whole body seems to be blown to ashes at any time; but King Qin is King Qin, how could she allow herself to fall down at a critical moment.

So she let out a deep breath, pulled out her spear, and saw a person in front of her when she opened her eyes.

Qin Tangjing was slightly stunned, and his heart was severely hammered.

A very abrupt, bright and shining woman.

He is an indomitable and god-like figure, with the same cold appearance, not afraid of life and death, a cold sword can defeat three thousand enemies, and one person can surpass ten thousand armies!Swallowing mountains and rivers with anger, what a heroine who protects the family and the country.

"Don't give up an inch of land." Four words, that's the answer she got that day.

Looking at the posture of the heroine right now, she really would rather die than give up an inch of ground.

"My lord, the enemy army is about to lose its hold! Do you want to take advantage of the victory and pursue?" The deputy general's thunderous voice almost pierced the sky and the earth.

Qin Tangjing then looked up at him, pointed in the direction of the heroine, and smiled brightly: "She is so brave, doesn't she seem to be unable to hold on?"

The lieutenant stared.

"No one in this world can handle her, and I have to play."

Qin Tangjing's smile gradually spread to the tip of his brows, and he threw Yin Ge at the lieutenant general with a sharp movement.

Then, she took out the folding fan that she was used to dressing up in a romantic and unrestrained manner, opened it with a snap, shook it gently, and walked over step by step.

At this moment, the fighting ceased completely, and the soldiers of Chu firmly guarded Chu Huaimin, while the army of the king of Qin automatically divided a path, allowing the king of Qin to pass alone, towards the people surrounded by them.

"You are all hot-blooded heroes. I admire your courage to die." Qin Tangjing suddenly spoke as he got closer, and the first sentence was provocative: "I can let you leave without any harm, and let you go home to be with your parents Reunion with wife and children." But the folding fan pointed at Chu Huaimin horizontally, and immediately sounded, "I only want this person."

The Chu army was in a commotion immediately.

So tempting, who can resist.

"Go or not? There is only one chance."

Qin Tangjing smiled.

"Think carefully, I'm not in a hurry." If you're not in a hurry, she has to be patient.

With lives at stake and tough choices, she's confident they'll make the right decision.

No need to say much, and it didn't take long, none of the Chu army was shaken, they all stood by Chu Huaimin's side, no one fled before the battle, and all the weapons were facing Qin Tangjing; during this process, Chu Huaimin never said a word, Just watching with cold eyes, let's see how King Qin behaves like a demon.

for a long time.

"Congratulations for making the right choice and getting a chance to survive."

The words exploded like thunder on the ground, Qin Wang, who has always acted out of common sense, had no one else in his eyes, only looked deeply at Chu Huaimin.

"I lost, not to you, but to myself. So if you win, Chu Jing will be yours. Take your people and get away. It's best not to let me see you."

He paused at this point, "Of course, it's not over between us."

"You have ten days to handle the funeral properly. Ten days later, I will enter the Chu capital and take over the state of Chu. You should know what to do by then."

That's the end of the conversation, without taking another look, Qin Tangjing resolutely turned around at dusk.

A lonely shadow drifts away.

Chujing, at the east gate in the middle of the night, the guards on the watchtower are drowsy.

They suddenly heard a strange sound in a daze, so startled that they immediately jumped up and poked around in a hurry. It took a long time to figure out the situation.

"Someone! There seems to be a lot of voices. Who is going to enter the city in the middle of the night? Shouchun has already closed the city gate."

"Look, what is that?" one of the guards exclaimed.

"Chu Qi!"

"It's the enemy army!"

As we all know, some time ago Princess Richang led an army to repel Qin Mingyue, and it was this enemy army.

It's just that he didn't expect to be stopped by Qin Wangjun on the way back to Beijing.

The power of King Qin's army is obvious to all.

Everyone thought that the princess's army would not be able to break through the prevention and control set up by King Qin's army, so she escaped death, but who would have thought that this army would appear outside the city tonight, heading towards Chujing.

Before long, thousands of people arrived at the east gate.

Soon someone called the door, and by hearing the voice, it was identified as General Chen.

Really defend against the enemy.

The guards were terrified, because the death order from above was not allowed to open the city gate. Could it be that even the venerable eldest princess was refused to leave the city?

It would be so chilling to come back from a victorious battle but be homeless.

As a result, a guard's forehead became hot, and he rushed out of the watchtower with a few hulas.

"Don't worry about it! The city gate must be opened. Don't blame me for being rude to anyone who dares to block it. Fuck Zhou Qiansheng, he's not a good guy. I don't recognize him for harming people and the country! The eldest princess is the commander!"

In Feiyun Palace, Doctor Qing Zhou Qiansheng's eyelids twitched after hearing the news, and asked without changing expression: "Where are you going?"

"The Qiankun Gate."

Zhou Qiansheng nodded, not panicking.

There is a spiritual hall next to the Qiankun Gate, which is dedicated to the sacrifices of kings and nobles after their death; the king of Chu passed away and was exiled outside. Of course, the spiritual hall was placed immediately when he returned to Chujing, and he understood this.

"What will you do when the eldest princess comes back?" the housekeeper was worried.

"Just do what you want. Chu Jing has changed, and she is no longer the only one who decides."

"The eldest princess has a lot of party members. It is difficult to get rid of them from the top to the high officials and down to the soldiers. Moreover, they have been dissatisfied with Zhou Jun for a long time. When the eldest princess comes back, she will become their backbone again. Then..."

"Enough!" Zhou Qiansheng clapped the case, and the butler hurriedly shut up.

"The play must be full, and no flaws can be exposed." After thinking about it, he said, "Go, call the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and weep in front of the king of Chu's coffin."

Regardless of whether he was sincere or false, when the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs saw the King of Chu, he cried so much that it was earth-shattering.

It was as if the sky had collapsed, and he was dying, wishing he could follow the King of Chu into the Underworld; while Zhou Qiansheng, sitting in the Feiyun Hall, remained motionless until the King of Chu was buried in the royal tomb, he had no choice but to show up.

……

"Why didn't the eldest princess preside over such an important day?" Zhou Qiansheng immediately stepped forward after the ceremony and questioned Chen Hao.

"Don't ask me! I don't know, Dr. Zhou should ask you what you have done."

Chen Hao's tone was even more aggressive than his, and he just flung his sleeves and left.

Zhou Qiansheng frowned, and immediately sent the housekeeper to investigate; the housekeeper turned around after a long time, and said: "The eldest princess refuses to see anyone, and she doesn't even see the prime minister to discuss state affairs. According to the maid, she locked herself in the bedroom."

Zhou Qiansheng pressed his brows after hearing this, "What are you doing in retreat at this time!"

The butler said in a low voice, "I probably know that the state of Chu can't hold on anymore, so I feel uncomfortable."

Zhou Qiansheng was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and folded his sleeves. After a while, he turned his eyes to look at the Chu Ling; the king of a country is buried there, and everyone in Chu without a king is in danger.Perhaps, watching his family and country collapse with his own eyes, Chu Huaimin was really sad.

"Mr. Zhou, Prime Minister Li has sent you a letter." A few days later, the butler rushed to report again.

Zhou Qiansheng, who was still sitting in the Feiyun Palace, listened and took it with a serious face.At a glance, the content of the letter was to remind him not to forget the agreement between the two parties.

The strategy was offered by him on his own initiative. Originally, he closed the city gate to prevent Chu Huaimin from returning to the capital. After King Qin defeated her, he cooperated with the inside and outside to open the capital of Chu, and exchanged Shouchun for the future title of "King of Chu".

The plan was messed up, and everything was disrupted!

Zhou Qiansheng crushed the letter, got up suddenly, and went out with heavy steps.

In front of the Princess Mansion, on the first day, the maid refused.

The next day, no see.

Still missing on the third day.

The fourth day, the fifth day...

On this day, Zhou Qiansheng retreated from the crowd, and with a bang of his robe, he actually knelt at the door!With his forehead on the cold bluestone floor, he said in a respectful tone, "It's the last day, what do you mean? Can you give me a reminder."

The wind blows, and the fallen leaves flutter.

Inside, nothing happened.

"In a short time, King Qin's army will come to the city, and we don't have much time left. Do you want to press..."

"Come in." A very soft sentence came out, but Zhou Qiansheng heard it clearly, shut up immediately, and kowtowed twice.

He pushed the door open, tiptoed in, and saw Chu Huaimin sitting by the window, with two cups of hot tea on the table beside him, as if he had been waiting for a long time; the moment he caught sight of him, he was hit in the head, and slowly knelt down on his knees.

"Your Highness, the subject is guilty." It turned out that the eldest princess has many followers, from officials to soldiers, including Zhou Qiansheng.

Chu Huaimin asked, "What is the crime?"

"The eternal sinner of Chu State."

"Jun Zhou is too modest, I am the eternal sinner of Chu State." She said softly.

Zhou Qiansheng shook his head: "Your Highness is not wrong, I understand His Highness's intentions." His young face was firm, "Even if I become a sinner of the Chu Kingdom through the ages, and be scolded by all people, I can still bear it!"

Chu Huaimin was moved and helped him up.

Zhou Qiansheng is one of her few friends who has united the front until death.

"I'll leave Chu State to you, I'm very relieved." Handing him a cup of tea, Chu Huaimin became more solemn, and his eyes were a little damp and hot.

Without saying anything, Zhou Qiansheng raised his head and drank all the tea, "I will not disgrace my life!"

"It's just Your Highness, you..."

He was feeling sad, but before he could finish speaking, Chu Huaimin waved his hands and continued, "You know, I have no choice. This is the best for the state of Chu, and it's a good thing for the people..."

Zhou Qiansheng smiled wryly, "I have always been puzzled by one thing."

"You said."

"Qin Mingyue is opposed to the King of Qin. It stands to reason that Qin Mingyue is more powerful. King Qin is a defeated king, but why did he surrender to the King of Qin instead of... Could it be that His Highness is trying to sow discord between them?"

Zhou Qiansheng was full of doubts, but Chu Huaimin smiled lightly, "It's not for any reason, just because I made a deal with a person, she is very powerful, so powerful that no one can beat her, I am not her opponent."

Zhou Qiansheng was taken aback when he heard the words, how terrifying would be a person who can't even deal with the eldest princess.

"You have to hide your identity well, King Qin is not an easy person to fool."

"Yes, I will be very careful."

In fact, we didn't talk for long, time was running out, after drinking a few cups of tea, before we could speak again, the housekeeper shouted hastily outside: "Mr. Zhou, something is wrong, King Qin's army is less than ten miles away from Chujing! "

It's coming, it's finally coming.

Chu Huaimin leaned against the window rail, gently blowing on the floating tip of the tea.

Zhou Qiansheng was looking at her, waiting for an order.

"According to plan," she finally ordered calmly.

The tea was slightly rippling, and the aroma was tangy. Chu Huaimin looked at the face reflected in the water, and carefully recognized that it was his own face, but after looking at it for a long time, he actually felt a little sad.

"Fight one more time. You are right, you really have to fight."

Chu Huaimin smiled slightly, raised his hand, and poured all the tea under the window with a clatter.

It is the souls of the [-] heroes who have died.

It was Chu Huailang who should die with respect.

That's right, respect yourself.
