Green tea sick beauty after whitening

Qu Zhang is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is a skill that a nobleman of an aristocratic family basically possesses, but he usually has little leisure time and doesn't play the piano much.

Su Xuan came in from the outside, Qu Zhang took the music to his heart's content, without raising his eyes, Su Xuan stared at him and listened quietly, with affection in his eyes, hoping that time would last forever.

This was almost the happiness that he had wanted to pursue all his life. Those miserable and ridiculous pasts had finally retreated a little.

Su Xuan silently poured a glass of wine for himself, brought it to his lips, and drank it down in one gulp. There was a cool and gentle breeze in the early spring, which swelled the curtain at the entrance of the tent.

The sun was warm and slanted in, reflecting the figures of the two on the felt blanket on the ground without overlapping each other.

Su Xuan smiled.

Quiet and beautiful, but in fact, it is often the prelude to war.

After the envoy returned, he relayed all the conversations he had with Qu Chang negative to Li Shang. Li Shang immediately realized that there was no room for change in this matter.

Qu Chang's negative attitude is firm, so the relationship between them must be the end of life and death.

Li Chang made a decision to issue five documents in one day. On the surface, he urged Qu Changshou to release Su Xuan, negotiate peace with him as soon as possible, and try to avoid war. In fact, it was just a posturing to occupy justice status.

Under such circumstances, Qu Changlu ignored him, and most people on Li Shang's side believed that he had done his best and agreed to start the war.So Li Chang sent troops to press forward and officially declared war.

The reason why Emperor Longyu chose Pingzhou as a place to stay was not only because there was a waterway between here and the capital, which made it difficult for the Western Qiang to attack, but also because Pingzhou had always been a place where elite soldiers from all over the world came out.

The cavalry here are especially fierce and good at fighting. They were originally owned by Qi Zhan, but now they are in the hands of Li Shang.

And while both sides were preparing for the official battle, the Song family's army had won successive battles against Xiqiang, beheading the general of Xiqiang, Yeluba.

Afterwards, he conquered all the way, regained Yuyang, Shangyao, Qingzhuang, Juhe and other places, and was invincible.

In this case, the most anxious person is naturally Li Shang.

With great difficulty, he provided information and encouraged the Western Qiang army to march towards the capital, and agreed that after the two parties joined forces, they would attack the capital together, occupy the palace, kill the prince's generals, and control the forces there first.

As a result, the Xiqiang army has not arrived yet, and the back road has been cut off. He is stopped here by Qu Changlu. If he does not break through the opponent's obstruction, he will not be able to go to the capital. That's it.

So there is no time to lose.

Because the gap between the enemy and the enemy is too great, in Li Chang's imagination, it was Qu Chang negative who had been playing tricks to delay the fight before, so that he could not fight.

He has even planned how to contact Xiqiang after arriving in the capital, find out the whereabouts of Qi Hui, and support him to ascend the throne.

Those bandits and savages only cared about the materials in the capital. If they were willing to cede generous rewards, it would not be difficult for Xiqiang to agree to cooperate.

What's more, with Jing Qianjiang coming after them, they probably wouldn't dare to stay here for too long.

It's a pity that things backfired. After the actual battle, Li Chang found that the soldiers in Qu Chang's hands were not as easy to fight as he imagined.

This is about one of the vanguards in Qu Chang's main force, named Liu Ji.

Liu Ji was originally under the command of veteran Gu An. This Gu An was an out-and-out princeling back then. Later, when the prince passed away, Gu An resigned and returned home, and his subordinates became loyal to Jing Qianjiang.

Liu Ji has seen all kinds of tragic wars, but he is a person who is not afraid of death at all. This time, he was brought out from Huiyang by Qu Changlu. He couldn't fight the Xiqiang people, so he wanted to deal with traitors. He had already been gearing up for many days.

Now the opportunity to vent his anger finally came. Li Chang had just opened the city gate to dispatch soldiers, but Liu Ji led a thousand troops first, and took the opportunity to charge into the city.

No one expected that there would be such a ruthless person. Li Chang's side was not well prepared and was rushed to pieces. Fortunately, he was well trained and immediately organized a counterattack under the brief chaos.

But Liu Ji had already received repeated orders from Qu Zhang, and even though he didn't enjoy himself to the fullest, he still evacuated in time before the opponent's encirclement circle was formed, and led his men to flee back to the barracks.

Li Chang immediately used the fireworks as an order to order the defenders who had been surrounded by the general camp to attack from all sides, and Qu Changlu had been prepared for a long time, and immediately led the main force to retreat to the valley.

The terrain of the Wandering Valley was narrow and deep. Li Chang did not rush to pursue it. He sent people to block the exit of the canyon, and ordered some people to detour up the mountain and climb to the sides of the canyon, preparing to throw huge boulders downward to force the Ying army inside out. .

His biggest advantage now is the large number of people. Qu Changlu needs careful arrangements to deploy manpower, but Li Chang doesn't have to worry about it at all.

But he overlooked one point, that is, Qu Chang negative is a person who is best at creating concerns for others.

Just when the troops who were about to climb the mountain to the sides of the canyon climbed halfway up the mountain, suddenly there was a violent loud noise, the rocks under their feet shook, and the entire army fell apart, either dead or injured.

—It's gunpowder!

Qu Chang negative actually estimated their actions in advance, and buried gunpowder here!

The fallen rubble and wreckage rolled down, and the ground trembled. Li Shang at the foot of the mountain turned pale with fright. He couldn't figure out what kind of ambush Qu Changlong had planned, so he immediately led his men back.

As a result, another explosion exploded behind them.

Qu Chang negative and others were in the canyon, listening to the loud noise outside, and the sound of screaming and wailing continued to come.

He could imagine the scene without looking at it, which is why he brought gunpowder before he came, but he didn't use it for a long time.

Many times, in order to solve some problems, he has to use those extreme, vicious, and even despicable means.

This is true in this life, and it was also true in previous lives, because there is no other way.

When he couldn't sleep well at night, he often dreamed of the tragic images he had seen in the war when he was young.

At that time, he felt that those who disregarded human life and slaughtered wantonly were like evil spirits, bringing countless sad sufferings to the world.

It would be great if the world could be more peaceful, and it wouldn't be full of blood and wars everywhere, and there wouldn't be so many wives and children separated from each other.

Those countless pairs of despairing eyes and the sympathetic pain made Qu Changxiang have a dream that he wanted to realize, but in the process of moving towards the goal, he was often confused.

Because he felt that sometimes... he was like the evil ghost who was once hated and rejected, with blood on his hands, dark and despicable, causing countless lives to die and countless families to be broken.

Those who died were his enemies, but they were also other people's fathers, husbands, and sons.

Obviously it was time for the decisive battle, but at this moment, he felt a little tired in his heart.

No one likes to calculate and kill, but no matter what the price is, they all want to achieve the goal in their hearts.

Maybe one day, Haiyan Heqing will be the real one—if he can live until then, he also wants to try a different life.

"My lord, Li Chang has already entered the canyon!"

At this moment, a voice sounded, and Qu Changlu quickly raised his eyes to look forward, his eyes were clear and sharp, as if his attention had never left the battle situation.

"Very well, he finally came in!"

Qu Chang took the horse back to the reins: "Don't love to fight, let's go!"

Just now Li Chang lingered and did not enter the canyon, and Qu Changlu planted gunpowder to force him into the canyon for the same purpose.

The terrain here is narrow, once entering, Li Shang will lose a large part of his numerical advantage.

However, there was no other option right now. The two armies entered the canyon and fought while leaving. Li Shang ordered the sergeants in armor to hold shields and equip spears to approach forward, so that Qu Chang's sergeants could not take advantage of the situation to attack.

It can be seen that Liu Ji's frenzied harassment and charge just now left a great shadow on him.

But at the same time, the ambush Qu Changsheng had previously set up on another exit peak received the order, swooped down condescendingly, and launched an attack.

Li Chang's army hurriedly withdrew towards Furongpu, where there was a boat they were supposed to meet, but Qu Changshou had already hidden people skilled in water in the reed marsh, and pierced the boat from below.

The battle between the two sides was fierce, and Li Chang was at a disadvantage, but the victory was due to the large number of people, who fought one after another, and fought to the death without retreating, so it was difficult to deal with.

As a hostage and a prisoner, Su Xuan was held in the rear, and Qu Changshou specifically ordered him not to be treated harshly, making him now the most relaxed and safe one among all the people.

Liu Ji injured his shoulder and was replaced to bandage the wound.

When he passed by, he saw a few soldiers surrounding Su Xuan and talking to him. Su Xuan had already made a clear picture of the battle between the two sides, and he was still excitedly asking him: "Sir, how do you know that?" ? It's really predictable!"

Liu Ji was so angry and funny, he couldn't help kicking the person closest to him, and said angrily: "What a bunch of stupid roe deer, do you have a share in making out with them? Someday they will be sold to the fair. In the market, I'm afraid I have to count money for others! Get out!"

The soldiers dispersed in a hurry, Liu Ji asked the military doctor to bandage the wound, looked at Su Xuan and said, "Master Su, being a prisoner is a little self-conscious, why ask about these things?"

Su Xuan knew that Liu Ji was a straightforward person, but he didn't go around in circles at all, and asked directly: "Master Liu, are we running out of gunpowder here?"

Liu Ji gradually forgot Qu Zhang's order "Don't talk to Su Xuan", and said casually: "Whoever is with you, don't think that no one will treat you as an outsider."

Su Xuandao: "If you don't answer, I also know that if there is enough gunpowder, it can be used just now when Li Shang and the others just entered the barracks. And there is something you don't know, there are several cannons in Pingzhou City. Zhan Zang, if Li Chang knows about this and sends someone to fetch it and bomb the valley, I'm afraid our casualties will be even more serious."

His voice was not low, and a soldier hidden in the crowd flashed his eyes, and quietly turned his head and ran away while no one was paying attention.

When Liu Ji heard it, he was really worried: "Is this really true? I'll tell Mr. Qu!"

Su Xuandao: "Your Excellency is busy in directing the battle, even if you tell him, he is too weak, so why bother? If Liu Xianfeng can trust you, let me go, and I will take you to destroy those cannons."

Liu Ji narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Let you go? Why do you think that you can fight for your freedom by saying such a few words without proof?"

Su Xuandao: "Because you have no loss if you let me go. Even if I have other thoughts and take you to destroy the cannon, I will take the opportunity to plot against you. Is it the battle situation? Why do I have to spend so much trouble, why don't you believe it?"

In terms of eloquence alone, he was not inferior to Qu Chang, and immediately rendered Liu Ji speechless.

He felt that he should refute Su Xuancai, but after thinking about it, he had nothing to say.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Liu Ji finally gritted his teeth and said, "If you kid dare to lie to me, I will never let you go."

Su Xuan said lightly: "Don't worry, even if you want to die, I don't want to. I still have concerns in this world."

"What? Qi Zhan still has cannons left, are you serious?"

"The informant came from the front, our spies heard Master Su say it with their own ears." Xiao Bing reported to Li Shang, "In this case, there should be no false reports, but the specific location was not found."

Li Shang pondered: "It's not difficult. After searching the whole city, there are not many places where Qi Zhan can hide from my eyes and ears. But Su Xuan betrayed me? What exactly is he going to do..."

While he was hesitating, another soldier suddenly ran over covered in blood and panicked, and said loudly: "It's not good, it's not good Your Highness, General Wang was killed by King Jing!"

That was a very useful general under Li Chang's command, and compared to the death of General Wang, the word "King Jing" was even more shocking.

Li Chang grabbed him: "Jing Qianjiang? Why did he appear here?!"

"No, I don't know. It is said that King Wei's two groups of troops have been instigated by King Jing. He came from our army and is now cooperating with Master Qu and Master Qu to launch a counterattack. If there is no increase in reinforcements, the front will be unstoppable." Living!"

Li Chang sternly shouted: "Then reinforce!"

But he didn't go there himself, instead he took a few steps back.

If one were to say who is the person who understands Li Chang best in the world at present, it would certainly be Su Xuan.

In Li Chang's eyes, he had never taken other people's lives seriously, and he had no bottom line to follow for all kinds of moral right and wrong. Will be scruples.

Seeing that he has come all the way from a little proton who depended on others, whether it is enemies or accomplices, most of them have been eliminated, and he is only one step away from success.

His eagerness has reached its peak, and he will definitely go crazy if he gnaws on a hard bone at this time.

The strengths of the two sides are very different, but Qu Changlu has used the terrain and tactics to the extreme, and Jing Qianjiang suddenly appeared to cooperate. They have no advantage at all, and may even lose.

Li Chang made up his mind, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Continue to send more people to fight with them. Where is General Qi? You are here to supervise the battle, and I will send some troops over when I return to the city."

He hinted: "General Qi has not been here for a long time to follow me, but I believe that you have the ability to stand on your own. After this battle is over, you will be rewarded for such achievements."

That General Qi has been coordinating from the rear, and he is also looking forward to the opportunity to perform meritorious service. Hearing the words, there is no doubt about him, and he replied "yes" with a happy face.

Li Chang's eyes flashed sternly, and he turned around and led the people down the mountain, returning to Pingzhou City.

As a result, this time he returned to the city, he also discovered an even more unfavorable thing.

Before Qu Chang took charge of arresting Su Xuan, and threatened the emissary with words, what he wanted was for Li Shang to take the initiative to disclose his identity as a member of the Qi family, and then launch an attack.

Because if there is something, only by letting him speak out can he find a flaw to attack.

Li Shang hurried all the way back, but he didn't get any special treatment because of this "righteous" bloodline in his mind. Instead, he heard all kinds of rumors about his life experience.

What's even more exaggerated is that the jade pendant given to his mother by Emperor Longyu to prove his identity was also imitated according to a similar pattern. The material was inferior and the carving was rough. Selling on the street.

This is really too shameful!

Li Shang glanced at it, and almost fell off the horse in anger.

He wanted to chop the peddler to death with a knife, but the current situation is not a good time to cause riots. When all the outsiders who disobeyed him are cleaned up, these unscrupulous people should also be punished!

Li Chang quickly found the ten cannons that Qi Zhan had saved, and he was overjoyed. He didn't delay any longer, and took advantage of the darkening sky to transport them outside the city overnight.

He had already calculated in his heart that since Jing Qianjiang and Qu Changlu were together at all, they must have designed a conspiracy and trap long ago, and he could not go back and take risks.

So simply place two cannons outside the exit of the valley, and transport the rest to the middle of the troop deployment to attack at the same time.

Doing so would be like making Li Shang's own subordinates who were fighting against Qu Chang and them become cannon fodder, but Cheng Daye had to make sacrifices, and Li Chang couldn't care less about that.

But at this moment, there was a sudden "bang" sound from behind, and a wave of scorching air swept over like mountains and seas, knocking them all into the air.

Someone behind him yelled hoarsely: "It's not good! The cannon exploded, run for your life!"

Immediately afterwards, the deafening explosion annihilated everything.

There were many people protecting Li Chang, and he was at the forefront of the team. In the end, he only suffered some minor injuries. He climbed up from a pit in disgrace, and found that his army was already in disarray.

Li Shang had a splitting headache, and his mind was buzzing, accompanied by extreme anger.

He scolded: "Why did the cannon suddenly explode? Who set the open fire next to it?!"

The surrounding soldiers were still in shock, and before they could answer, they heard a voice quietly saying: "These ten cannons are waste products, and they may explode if they move or bump. Otherwise, why do you think Qi Zhan doesn't use them?"

Li Chang turned his head abruptly and looked intently, only to see a group of people not far away, the leader was handsome and elegant, dressed in white, unexpectedly it was Su Xuan who was mentioned not long ago.

Li Chang thought of the meaning of what he just said, and his heart suddenly sank.

He looked at the men and horses behind Su Xuan, his expression gradually showed a ruthless expression, and he said coldly: "Sir, did you hear that this king is here, and came here on purpose to welcome you?"

Sitting on the horseback, Su Xuan leaned over to greet him gracefully, and said politely: "It's not a greeting, it's a send-off. Xuan Gong sees off my lord for the last time."
