Green tea sick beauty after whitening

Qu Changshou was also straightforward, leaving after he came up with a bad idea, regardless of whether everyone listened or not, leaving everyone to look at each other in blank dismay.

In the end, Qu Xiao said, "Then act according to plan?"

He reminded again: "It's just that no matter what, we? We and Yeludan's position will be contrary to each other after all. This battle cannot be avoided. Our task is to hold the city and wait for King Jing to lead the army." Come back or the court rescue, please be more vigilant."

A few hours later, the emergency battle report that Huiyang City was besieged by Xiqiang soldiers was also rushed to the capital, and there was an uproar in the court.

No one expected that the Xiqiang army could cross several checkpoints without warning and surround Huiyang at such a fast speed.

If it wasn't for Qu Xiao's stubbornness, Huiyang would have fallen at this very moment.

Then from now on, all the way to the capital will be a smooth road, and there will be no danger to defend.

Before the early court, some important ministers were called into the imperial study overnight to discuss matters. Even Qi Hui and Qi Zhan, who had been repeatedly reprimanded before, were summoned.

Ma Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War, was more familiar with the military situation, and immediately said: "In order to transport the melons, fruits and vegetables from the west to the capital as quickly as possible, the first emperor ordered to dig a mountain to clear the road, so as to shorten the distance from the west border to Huiyang. But these mountain roads are heavily guarded, and apart from local caravans, not many people know the location."

He hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Xiqiang came so fast, I know that Huiyang is empty, and the disaster has just passed. Could it be that someone... tipped off the news?"

From Jingqianjiang to Mayan, this matter has been questioned by more than one person, but who in the court colluded with Xiqiang remains to be investigated, but the current military situation is already extremely urgent.

Emperor Longyu suppressed the suspicion and anger in his heart, and said: "We will discuss this matter later. Regarding the current situation, what are your thoughts?"

Xie Jiuquan came out and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Huiyang to support immediately."

There are many generals in Ying who are good at fighting, but now there are wars everywhere?There are already people from the Song family on the front line, and Jing Qianjiang is nowhere to be seen until now, so the only suitable candidates are from the Xie family.

Emperor Longyu said: "How sure are you?"

Xie Jiuquan said: "I have fought Yelu before, although I can't say that I can beat him back, but I should be able to hold Huiyang Wuyu. But I don't know how to wait? When the imperial reinforcements arrive, Huiyang will be able to hold on. If the Xiqiang army is allowed to cross the Daxing Mountain behind Huiyang City, there will be no dangerous pass to defend."

What he said was the truth, and with Huiyang's strength, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on to Xie Jiuquan's arrival.

The difficulty of defending the city and repelling the enemy is completely different, not to mention the casualties of the people.

Everyone's face was solemn, Qi Zhan slowly raised his eyes, and cast a glance in a certain direction.

Left Prime Minister He Mao met his eyes, stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I think that there are two top priorities right now, one is to send troops to assist Huiyang immediately, and the other is to make preparations to move south at any time. "

"The Xiqiang people are not good at water warfare. If they really can't stop their attack, as long as they cross the Lingjiang River, they will not be able to pursue them anymore."

Someone couldn't help saying: "Master He, what do you mean, move the capital?"

He Mao raised his eyes and saw that the speaker was Xue Guang, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and said, "The purpose of the Xiqiang people was not to occupy the territory, but to plunder supplies. They will not fight for a long time. My suggestion is only as a last resort." The next countermeasures, no matter what, should always ensure His Majesty's safety first?"

Although there are two prime ministers in the court, the prime minister on the right, Qu Xiao, shines too brightly, and He Mao is usually easy-going and carefree, so his sense of existence is very meager.

Unexpectedly, after Qu Xiao left, it was rare for him to speak a word, so he proposed such a countermeasure.

Moving the capital is indeed a method, but it stands to reason that this will only be done when the country is desperate, and the country of Ying should not be able to reach this point at present.

Qi Hui was the first to object: "Minister Zuo is cautious about moving the capital? Absolutely not."

His attitude is very firm: "Although the current situation is turbulent, the Southern Army has joined hands to send troops. It is only a matter of time before the Western Qiang invasion is repelled. We should focus on stability. The relocation will cause turmoil among the people and shake the foundation of the country. Disrupt yourself."

He Maodao: "Your Highness, what I mean by this is not to say that the capital must be moved south, but that if there is danger, please make preparations for temporary refuge. Otherwise, if the Western Qiang really attacks, can your Majesty be allowed to stay here?" Is the capital in danger?"

In fact, Qi Hui really wanted to say, shouldn't it be?

As the king of a country, even if he can't go to the battlefield in person, he still has to play a role in stabilizing people's hearts at such times.

It's still not going well, if the soldiers and the common people see that the emperor has run away, what will they think and what will they do?

Under such turmoil, can the normal livelihood continue?

But He Mao's rhetorical question made him unable to speak at all.

Last time, Qi Hui already aroused the emperor's suspicion and dissatisfaction because of his private manipulation of Jing Qianjiang. Now if he dares to let Emperor Longyu stay in the capital, Emperor Longyu will be furious on the spot.

Qi Hui was silent.

Seeing that the crown prince was all pissed off, other people who wanted to object stopped talking, but several ministers echoed He Mao's proposal one after another.

Under such persuasion, Emperor Longyu was also a little moved.

The Xiqiang people who came here were really menacing, and most importantly, they were also very strange. As an emperor, he naturally couldn't be in a dangerous situation.

Before the traitors in the court have shown their prototypes, the capital is indeed not safe enough.

But although he disagrees with many of the prince's ideas, he also knows that what Qi Hui said is indeed reasonable. The move of the capital is not a joke. The enemy army has not yet arrived. what.

Emperor Longyu thought about it for a while, but did not speak. At this time, Qi Zhan suddenly said: "Just now, Prime Minister He has already said that the father and emperor temporarily retreated to a safe place, just in case, not moving the capital. We? We don't have to. Such a mobilization of teachers and people, it is only said that the father and his trusted ministers went to the south of the Yangtze River to travel, and the sons stayed in the capital to stabilize the hearts of the people."

University scholar Lin Xuanrun said: "The current situation is so turbulent, if it is said that His Majesty travels abroad, it may also seem inappropriate. Even if the king of Wei is in charge, the effect will be minimal."

Lin Xuanrun is the father of Lin Yi, the former concubine of Wei. Although the king of Wei is his son-in-law, the political views of the two have never been very consistent.

Now that Lin Yi has reconciled with Qi Zhan, Lin Xuanrun has no scruples when speaking.

Qi Zhan didn't say anything more, but Emperor Longyu was a little upset, and said: "Forget it, since the dispute can't be settled, it's better to discuss it later, let me think about it. The military situation is urgent now, so Xie Qing will lead the army to set off immediately to Huiyang support."

Xie Jiuquan knew that when the battle situation was urgent, it was not easy to delay even a second, and he was already very anxious when he heard about the Huiyang military situation just now.

What's more, Qu Xiao was still there, although what he did made Xie Jiuquan want to punch him to death, but that was Qu Chang's biological father after all.

Xie Jiuquan was afraid that the reinforcements would not arrive in time, and that Qu Changshou would still attack in the end, instead putting himself in danger.

It has probably become a habit in two lifetimes. No matter what Qu Zhang's responsibility is, anyway, he will never be able to stop caring and worrying about anything related to this person.

Listening to these people coming and going, Xie Jiuquan was extremely upset and couldn't find a chance to intervene. Now he finally heard that he was ordered to send troops, and he knelt down to accept the order and left in a hurry.

After Xie Jiuquan left, Emperor Longyu looked at the others, and said, "Prince, King Wei, is there a traitor in the court? Let the two of you investigate together and discuss everything. I hope that this person can be caught as soon as possible. Use his head as a sacrifice to the souls of my Daying soldiers!"

Overtly cooperating, secretly they just let them restrain each other. Qi Hui and Qi Zhan stepped forward to accept orders without looking at each other.

Emperor Longyu said again: "Does King Jing have any news?"

Qi Hui said: "Returning to the emperor's words, the ministers sent people to investigate in many ways, but there is still no clear news."

In fact, he has already heard reports from spies, and the latest news is that Jing Qianjiang and Qu Changlu have left Nanrong, but at this time, Emperor Longyu was suspicious again, and Qi Hui didn't intend to say anything. this matter.

Emperor Longyu stared at him for a moment, seeing that Qi Hui's face was calm and respectful, he said: "Well, you all go down, I want to take a rest."

Qi Hui said: "Father, please take care of the dragon's body."

After finishing speaking, he withdrew from the hall with the crowd.

Because Qi Hui had ordered that once there was news of Qu Chang's loss, he must be reported to him as soon as possible, so as soon as he came out from the emperor's side, Li Ji, the guard of the East Palace, rushed to meet him.

Coincidentally, the emperor had just asked about Jing Qianjiang's whereabouts, and the news from the other side came.

Li Ji said to Qi Hui in a low voice: "Your Highness, I just heard that some spies saw King Jing and Master Qu appearing in Huiyang!"

Qi Hui asked, "What are they going to do?"

Li Ji said: "It seems to be helping to defend the city."

Qi Hui was startled, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "He is really... You send someone to inform General Xie of this matter, he knows what to do."

When he was reborn, he thought that Le Youxia was dead, Qi Hui was in so much pain that he felt dizzy every day.

After knowing the true identity of Qu Chang, he felt jealous again, filled with regret, as if he had fallen into a magic barrier, thinking all day how to go back to the past and be with Qu Chang, and for this he did not hesitate to pester him in every possible way. , Exhausted means.

On the contrary, now that the other party is gone, in the day-to-day memories and misses, he sees his own confusion and astray.

What he cared about and cared about was never the same as what Qu Changlu cared about.

When a person is used to arranging as many things as possible within a limited time, then those trivial and complicated feelings, and Naxi's minute details will never enter his eyes.

What Qu Changshou needs and will like is a person who can trust him unconditionally, understand him, and never leave him.

And my own love will only bring troubles and troubles to Qu Changcheng, so how can I ask why the other party refuses to accept it?

It's a pity that many things are irreversible, even if he understands it now, he will always miss it.

And the only thing that can be done right now is no longer to find ways to possess, but to share as much as possible for the person you like.

Qi Hui said: "Since they didn't deliberately cover it up, His Majesty will know about it in a short time. You continue to attract attention, and in addition, transfer all the hidden stakes that can be mobilized nearby to Huiyang, and go directly to Qu My lord, obey him."

Li Ji was very surprised, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, if this is the case, I'm afraid that the secrets will be leaked, and these? These? Stakes will be useless. It will be a great loss to our intelligence network."

Qi Hui said: "In the face of a national crisis, if you care about these? These? Personal gains and losses, what's the difference between being alone and looking together? Go ahead."

He turned around with his hands behind his back, looked at the palace he had just walked out of, and smiled coldly: "What's more, the day when His Majesty's southern tour is not far away, we have to make plans early."

After Xie Jiuquan sent troops, the news in Huiyang City quickly spread to the ears of other people who had not been summoned.

Su Xuan quickly walked into the Proton Mansion, and waited for the servants at the door to greet him, and directly brought him into Li Chang's study.

Li Chang always treated Su Xuan with courtesy, when he saw him, he compared himself to the seat opposite to him, and said with a smile: "You are here."

Su Xuan was blunt: "I've heard about the matter of the previous court, Your Highness, Qi Zhan proposed a plan to ask the emperor to move the capital, can you know about it first?"

Li Chang said: "That's natural. If the emperor is not in the palace, many things will be much more convenient. This is a very important move, isn't it?"

Su Xuandao: "But if the emperor really agrees to do this, then some of the troops will inevitably be transferred back to escort the holy driver, which is equivalent to giving up the north. This will leave Huiyang alone and helpless!"

Li Chang looked at him and said: "Look, you are in a hurry, you are alone and helpless, what does it matter to us?"

He was half-joking: "Or...are there any people in Huiyang City that you can't let go of, so you are worried?"

Su Xuan's expression remained unchanged, without the slightest hesitation: "Xuan's parents are both mourning, and there is no one at home, why can't you let go? Say? But don't forget, Your Highness, your original intention to help Qi Zhan is to ask him to fully support him after he ascends the throne. You go back to the country to win the throne. If the country of Ying is severely damaged after repeated battles, and he takes over this mess in the future, can he still help you wholeheartedly? This? The cart before the horse!"

He was so calm, but Li Shang got stuck and said, "Thanks to you reminding me, I really never thought about this question."

He pondered for a moment and then said: "But now Qi Zhan has said everything that should be said in front of the emperor, whether to move the capital now is no longer up to us to decide, we can only wait and see."

"As for Ying Guo, if the vitality is seriously injured, Qi Zhan will need me even more? Liang Guo's support to fight against foreign enemies, he can't treat me? Cross the river and tear down the bridge, don't worry too much."

Su Xuan sighed, and said: "Your Highness, it's mainly because I didn't know about this matter at all. I was surprised to hear the news suddenly. You should have informed me in advance."

Li Chang and Qi Zhan had indeed made up their minds, and in order to prevent accidental complications, they didn't tell Su Xuan, but the other party said it directly, which inevitably made him a little embarrassed.

"this?……"

Su Xuandao: "The lower officials have always believed that if you cooperate sincerely, you can't leave any knots in your heart. You must always say what you have to say clearly so that there will be no misunderstandings. Therefore, you can be blunt. Your Highness, please don't take offense."

He said calmly: "His Royal Highness, please rest assured that your mother and concubine are kind to my mother. I first entered the officialdom in Ying Kingdom and pleaded for the people but was imprisoned. I am also tired of this kind of darkness, so I came here. I want to find a place where I can display my ambitions for myself. Our goals are the same, and I have no reason to betray you."

Su Xuan made it clear in such a straightforward way, which also made Li Chang unable to say anything else.

He said: "I understand. It's not that I don't trust you this time, but I'm a little impatient. Next time, if there's anything else, I'll be the first to discuss it with you. You have the talent of a national scholar, How could I not repay him with the courtesy of a national scholar?"

After Su Xuan left, Li Chang couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, realizing that he was suppressed by the aura of this subordinate.

The gentleness of this person is just a disguise on the surface, but he is actually very strong in his heart.

He shook his head involuntarily, and sighed in a low voice: "Su Xuan, Su Xuan, what are you thinking about in your heart? Don't reveal your flaws, worry about my worries, should I? Should? Really believe in you wholeheartedly?"

Su Xuan walked out of the Proton Mansion, his footsteps paused for a moment, and then he continued to walk forward without looking back.

Even though Li Chang was full of calculations, he was still young in this life. Under his continuous catalysis and promotion, he acted a little rashly.

This? In fact, it is a good thing for what Su Xuan wants to achieve.

But he must not let the other party's behavior hurt Qu Changshou, this is also Su Xuan's bottom line.

That's why he rarely showed his edge, forced Li Shang to force him to inform him of all his actions in advance.

If it really doesn't work, maybe I have to give up the idea of ​​killing someone I hate very much.

——He originally wanted to kill Qi Hui first, but now it's not the time to see it. It's really reconciled.

As Su Xuan thought about it, his thoughts drifted away, and he didn't know how Qu Changlu was doing now, the weather over there was bad, and whether he was sick.

The longing had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, like a habitual dull pain, Su Xuan twisted his fingers, as if he really wanted to trace the other person's eyebrows out of thin air.

Sometimes he even didn't know what he was doing. In fact, no one forced him to come to Li Chang's side to carry out these shady activities.

If he can let go of the guilt and hatred in his heart, hide all the unknown past events deeply, and guard Qu Changshou without hesitation, maybe he still has a chance to compete with Jing Qianjiang in an upright manner.

But after all, it is hard to let go.

Su Xuan closed his eyes.

There is no room for fragility at this time, after a brief absence, he took another step, his figure submerged in the sunlight in front of him.

The forces of all parties have calculations in their hearts, and Emperor Longyu's decision has not yet been made, and when Xie Jiuquan led the troops galloping day and night, Xiqiang had already started another wave of violent attacks.

Probably realized that the siege of the city was too costly, and because the rumors spread before had an effect, this time? Yeludan no longer stared at the gates and walls for a fierce attack, but adopted the method of fighting on wheels.

He surrounded the entire Huiyang City, cut off the delivery of living supplies, and cut off all the sources of running water outside the city, and then sent an army of less than [-] people to set fire outside.

After the army in the city was forced out, the two armies would join forces, and Xiqiang would be replaced by a group of people every hour or so.

This? It is clear that it is relying on more people to play wheel battles, consuming Huiyang's supplies, as well as the physical strength and mentality of the soldiers.

The idea put forward by Qu Chang negative bought some time for everyone, allowing them to wait as long as possible for Jing Qianjiang to come back.

But I have to say that Yeludan's move was even more ruthless after taking back his confidence of being invincible in the brutal siege.

As night fell, Qu Chang took to the top of the city.

Looking at the direction of the Xiqiang army camp from a distance, the sound of the golden drums was so loud that it could be heard for hundreds of miles. It was obvious that another attack was coming, and they refused to let the Ying army rest at all.

If this goes on for a long time, physical exhaustion will only lead to mental breakdown, and in the end they will not be defeated by their hands, but will die of exhaustion.

The weather in the past two days was also very bad. The wind was raging on the flat ground, and there was a faint smell of humidity in the air. It seemed that there would be rain and snow in early spring.

At such a time, Qu Chang negative unexpectedly thought of Jing Qianjiang's phrase "spring is coming", and couldn't help shaking his head.

Indeed, spring will come sooner or later, but how many people died in the severe winter before the spring flowers bloom?

Qu Changlu estimated the time and the strength of both sides, and told his subordinates: "Xiqiang is going to change troops again, it can't be stopped. Don't stop it, let the soldiers come back and rest for a while."

After both sides withdrew their troops temporarily, there were corpses all over the ground below, blood flowed like a river, and the smell of blood rushed to the top of the city, making people feel sick.

This battle? Even Xiao Duan and Xiao Wu went down to participate in the battle. The physical strength and mental state of the soldiers were getting worse and worse, and everyone was almost desperate to fight.

When the two got off their horses, they were almost unable to stand still, and they were still supported by Qu Changcheng himself.

Xiao Wu suffered two minor injuries and was carried away by the doctor, while Xiao Duan sat down on the ground, leaning his head against the city wall behind him, and closed his eyes exhausted.

Although he wasn't injured much, his whole body was covered in blood, and his expression was extremely haggard, which is rare.

Qu Changcheng handed him the hot porridge that others offered him, and asked, "It's hard to beat?"

Xiao Duan only held the porridge in his hands to keep warm, closed his eyes and said, "Just now, another fierce general came to Xiqiang, who is called the son of a god. He is extremely tall and powerful, standing on a cart Come on, with a double-ended long knife, it is very difficult to deal with..."

When he said this, he suddenly realized and opened his eyes suddenly: "Master?"

Qu Changlu helped the porridge bowl in his hand: "It's me, I've been talking to you for a long time. Just drink the porridge."

Xiao Duan subconsciously held Qu Chang's hand, then reacted, let go immediately, and stood up in a daze.

He had been trained strictly since he was a child, and it was extremely awkward to see his master standing while he was sitting.

Xiao Duan stood firm: "It's going to rain, why don't you put on a thick coat? I? Go get it."

Qu Chang said: "I don't need you. Porridge, drink it."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a follower rushed over immediately, but Qu Changlu ordered, "Give it to me? Bring a set of armor over here."

Xiao Duan poured down the porridge in one gulp, and was startled as soon as he put down the bowl: "You want to lead the army yourself?"

Qu Chang said: "The person you are talking about should be Bishi, the general of the Western Qiang. I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble."

Xiao Duan hurriedly said: "I? I can still do it, I? Go with you..."

Qu Changlu ignored him at all, put on his armor, and then pushed Xiao Duan out, causing him to stagger and fall on the two followers.

Xiao Duan: "..."

Qu Changlu raised his chin, and told his followers: "This one, take it back to the room and lay it down, or tie it up if you don't lie down. Also, send an order, and I'll order soldiers."

He didn't tell Xiao Duan the details. In fact, this bishi had a strange life experience. He was raised by tigers in the mountains since he was a child. He drank tiger milk and ate raw meat. He was not discovered until he was eight or nine years old and brought out to be raised.

Probably because of this reason, he is not only physically stronger than ordinary people, but also has great strength, and his hearing and smell are very sensitive.

Xiqiang people like to use tigers as their totems, and they even say that they are magical.

If this fierce general had been guarding the Western Qiang army, then Jing Qianjiang would have been caught by the Western Qiang before he had time to set up the formation when he returned with his troops, which would inevitably be dangerous.

No matter what you say, you have to hold this person back, or even get rid of them.

Both Xiao Duan and Xiao Wu were exhausted from the battle, and Chief Qu felt that they were arguing to go out of the city together, so he ordered each of them to drink a bowl of medicine and let them stay in the city to sleep.

When he was walking out with his soldiers, he happened to meet Qu Xiao walking down from the city wall.

As a civil servant, Qu Xiao didn't go to the battlefield, but he commanded the battle and kept track of the enemy's movements in the past few days.

At this time, his eyes were black and blue, his lips were chapped, and he looked very haggard.

When the two met each other, Qu Zhang's eyes were dazzled, and he almost didn't recognize this person.

In fact, his father has always been very strange to him, except for the mask he used to disguise. Until now, he didn't even know who the other party was.

Qu Xiao also saw the armor on Qu Chang's body, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "What are you doing?"

Qu Chang said: "Go to battle."

Qu Xiao knew that he didn't like to talk to him, and usually he didn't talk much except for necessary discussions about the military situation, but now he couldn't help it.

He was afraid that Qu Zhang would be unhappy, so he tried his best to put down a gentle tone, and said slowly: "The weather is not good at the moment, and the two generals of Xiqiang are aggressively attacking, it is too unsafe. Don't mess around, listen to me and go back. Didn't King Jing tell you to wait too? Is he coming back?"

Qu Chang said: "These are the people in the city right now, who should I let if I don't go? Someone has to come."

Qu Xiao said: "Me? Find someone else..."

Qu Chang negative sneered: "So, in your heart, you are the one who is entitled to enjoy life and happiness, and it is not your children who can go out and risk their lives to fight, right?"

Qu Xiao felt great grief in his heart, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Saying this sentence is tantamount to exposing your own scars. Originally, you hurt the enemy a thousand, and you hurt yourself eight hundred.

Qu Chang's mood became very bad, he passed by Qu Xiao, and said coldly: "Leave my business alone?"

Qu Xiao didn't speak anymore, he turned his head, watched his son's thin back, and felt a trace of indescribable sadness from the bottom of his heart.

No matter what the reason is, if something is done, it is done, and it can never be made up for.

This kind of regret and distressed guilt is destined to be entangled in his soul and follow him to hell.

On the battlefield, they can attack, defend, plot and plot, and fight each other with swords. No matter what the outcome is, they can always play freely and happily.

But the most terrifying thing is always the human heart, even if you gallop on the battlefield, you can't break the city in your heart.
