Second minister and thief

Chu Linqiu heard "ridiculous words" occasionally, but he smiled without saying a word, but there was a hint of pampering in his eyes that he didn't even realize.

The two first tasted love, and it was the time when Wen Cun didn't want to be separated, so after eating, they hid in the upper room and hung out for most of the day, and slept in each other's arms late at night.It was not until the next morning that Chu Linqiu received an order from the palace, ordering him to return to the Yamen to prepare for the departure of the "Pioneer Army".

Presumably the sage was not interested in this matter, not only ordered "everything to be kept simple", but even the most important steps left by the ancestors, such as the swearing-in of pure uniform platform and toasting the heaven and the earth, just let the army drag the red banners in Mengmeng In the mist, quietly left.

"Don't you want to persuade Chu Lang? This move will chill the hearts of the soldiers and the people of the world sooner or later."

At that time, Chu Linqiu was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, methodically combing his hair, and chajin a hairpin into the jade crown. When he heard this, his hands stopped, his face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice, "If persuasion is useful, there are many things. It will never reach this point. Master Hou is talking nonsense again."

"You're right." The corners of Xiao Cen's mouth drooped immediately. He walked over and stood behind Chu Linqiu, raised his hand to press the man's shoulder, and said suddenly after a long silence, "If I get lucky someday Going out, he ordered to cut off my food and grass, cut off my reinforcements, are you willing..."

"Xiao Cen!" Chu Linqiu shouted sharply, then raised his hand and grabbed his wrist, "Are you testing me?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Cen immediately denied, "I just expressed my feelings. Why should Chu Lang get angry? I... I believe you. But your reaction like this makes me feel... …”

Of course Xiao Cen didn't have the courage to say the next words, because Chu Linqiu's face told him that things would not end so well, but he just couldn't help being mean.

In order to calm down Chu Linqiu's anger, Xiao Cen came up with a trick. He lied that he was in unbearable pain, then stepped back a few steps and lay on his side on the couch.

Unexpectedly, when Chu Linqiu saw this scene, he rarely panicked.He thought that although Xiao Cen was born as a military general and could withstand all kinds of hardships, but he had no experience before, so it was inevitable that he would be injured the first time.

So he proposed, "I'll go to the yamen after I finish applying the medicine for you."

"No, no, no..." Xiao Cen's face turned red with embarrassment at the moment, his eyes drifted away, telling Chu Linqiu to go early and return early, so as not to tire himself out, he said that he would take the medicine when the time came .

"Chu Lang, turn around."

"Lord Hou..."

Xiao Cen lightly kissed him, just like that, on his slightly pale lips, tasted it lightly, and didn't remember it, "Okay, and... I will always believe in you."

"Lord Hou." Chu Linqiu sat on the soft cushion in front of the couch with his legs bent, looked sideways at Xiao Cen with a serious face, his mood was a bit complicated and heavy, he thought, after all, he couldn't fully devote himself to this fiery relationship Among them, what he did was nothing more than doing his best to protect him.As he said earlier, "Nothing in return, nothing in return..."

This bitter battle with Xi Chuan was beyond everyone's expectations.Originally, the ruling and opposition parties optimistically thought that a few rebel leaders and a mob would really be a bad idea. With two generals of Jin and Yuan in charge to put down the rebellion, they would win a complete victory within two months and return to the court triumphantly.

Unexpectedly, the Second Route Army led by Yuan Sinan rushed forward and suffered a big defeat the first night after settling down, causing the imperial army to lose hundreds of troops for no reason.

Although there are not many people, it is a loss in morale.Since then, although the old general Jin tried his best to turn the tide, the two groups of people still fought and failed repeatedly.The place occupied by the Xichuan Fang bandits has changed from the original two cities to five, and the sixth is about to be captured.

Emperor Wu'an shook his hands and kept flipping through the battle reports scattered on the case, almost crushing them.He really couldn't believe that the men who had been trained under pressure could not help but beat each of them, so... oh! ! !

There must be something wrong with this.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty! For the sake of our Daqi soldiers and the common people, you must take good care of the dragon's body!"

"Take care? Take care! As a general, you can't share my worries for me. What's the use of keeping it?" Emperor Wu'an suddenly picked up a note in his hand, and threw it at Yan Zheng's face.

"Where is Chu Qing? It's almost impossible to hold the dangerous pass, why doesn't he come to see me?!"

"Report to His Majesty..."

"Your Majesty! Your Excellency the Prime Minister, please see me."

"...Xuan." The emperor was still angry, so he picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. Then he saw Song Ge, who was wrinkling a thick eyebrow, stepping forward from the door, and raised his hand He shouted above his head, "Your Majesty! I have something to play!"

"What's the matter with you? Come quickly."

"Your Majesty, my subject..."

Emperor Wu'an caught a glimpse of this man with his head lowered from the corner of his eye, and didn't forget to look around, so he understood his hidden meaning, and waved his hand to let Yan Zheng lead the others back, and closed the door behind him.

"Come on. What's so important? But about the battle ahead?"

"Exactly. Reporting back to Your Majesty, the old minister's subordinates just intercepted another urgent battle report this morning..."

"Song Gezhi! You are so courageous! You dare to intercept the urgent battle report! I want, I want to punish you!"

"Your Majesty! After carefully listening to what the old minister said, there is no rush to talk about punishment. Besides, if you are accompanied by Lord Zhishu in the prison in the future, what will I do for you? "After that, Song Ge Lao went to the ground again, and knocked his head three times heavily, until his forehead was flushed red.

The Son of Heaven was utterly baffled by his "tiger-like" operation. He took two steps back, managed to stabilize his figure, and asked, "Chu Qing? What exactly do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, you might as well take a look at the battle report intercepted by the old minister. Presumably, in these days, Lord Tong Zhishu has also intercepted several battle reports with the same content in the same way. But it just...does not pass on to the emperor. !"

"..." Emperor Wu'an read the battle report with suspicion, his hands were already shaking unbearably.His face was flushed, his chest was violently bullied, and his eyes were full of haze, as if some kind of storm was brewing.After a while, as expected, all the pens and papers on the table were swept to the ground.

"Bastard... bastard!"

Seeing this scene, Elder Song Ge's face trembled slightly, and then said calmly, "Your Majesty might as well pass on an audience with Lord Tong Zhishu immediately, or... ask clearly."

It turned out that the secret battle report actually stated that when the two armies were at war, our soldiers found flying eagle patterns and seals from several corpses. After comparison, it was found that these were indeed belongings of the Mobei Army.That is to say, the reason why the Xichuan rebels were able to win many battles is very likely that the Mobei Army gave them a helping hand.

As the deputy of the Privy Council, Chu Linqiu, who was directly in charge of all matters concerning the dispatch of troops, but... concealed this important news and did not report it!
