On the night when Shuoliang Huangdu was breached, Qi Xiao didn't stay in the imperial city but went to occupy the office.

When Baixiqiao led the troops to control the occupation office, the people inside were busy trying to destroy the documents. Fortunately, Baixi bridge went there in time, and most of the documents were preserved, but the documents in the occupation office were not only There are many, and they are very complicated, many of them are written in cipher text, and it makes one's eyes dizzy at a glance. Finding what Qi Xiao wants is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

When Qi Xiao came, Bai Xiqiao was sitting on a bench with his legs crossed, eating dry biscuits and sighing while looking at the wing room where the documents were stored.

"Brother."

"You are here."

"what happened?"

Baixiqiao handed Qi Xiao a secret letter, Qi Xiao read it, and he knew all the characters, and they couldn't connect together: "What is this?"

"Secret letter from the office.

I just can't understand it anyway. "

Bai Xiqiao pointed to the wing room in front of him, and said: "The six rooms here are all about Da Chen's confidential documents, more than [-] volumes."

Baixiqiao looked up at Qi Xiao, as if asking, what are you going to do?

"Where's the governor of the office?"

"When we broke the door, we drank poison and committed suicide."

"What about the rest?"

"They all committed suicide by drinking poison!" Bai Xiqiao rolled his eyes angrily, "It is easier to seek death than the other. I have searched three times, and there is no survivor."

Taking care of things and handling things involves confidentiality. If you have to be punished if you are alive, it would be easier to die.

Qi Xiao looked at the wing room and sighed along with Baixi Bridge. He left Chi Yue in the palace to look for royal secrets such as secret chambers, secret passages and secret letters. Wu Zhou rushed back to Dachen overnight. People from Xuanji Camp, try it out.

"Where are Yu Ran and Li Yao?"

Yu Ran and Li Yao came quickly: "See you, my lord."

Qi Xiao flipped through several volumes of secret letters in the wing room, but he really couldn't understand them all and had no clue, so he could only hand them to Li Yao and Yu Ran: "Look, see if there is any way to decipher the secret letters."

Yu Ran and Li Yao read a few volumes of secret letters respectively, and looked at each other, Yu Ran said to Qi Xiao: "My lord, the documents here are all dark ones, and it's not difficult to decipher them."

"Yin Shu? Can you decipher it?"

Yu Ran took three letters and put them on the case: "My lord, the so-called Yin Shu is to disassemble a letter and make three copies, send them separately, and the recipient needs to receive all three copies and put them together in order to understand them. "

Bai Xiqiao leaned over: "Oh, no wonder the documents here are all three in one."

Qi Xiao watched Yu Ran unfold and line up the three letters on the table, and heard him say: "The only difficulty in Jieyin Shu is to know what rules it is divided into.

I also ask the prince to allow me and Li Yao some time. "

"how long?"

"One day."

Qi Xiao nodded: "Three hours."

Yu Ran and Li Yao were stunned for a moment, but they could only bite the bullet and respond: "...Yes."

Qi Xiao left the Baixi Bridge in the occupation office to dig three feet, and went up to the city gate wearing the stars and the moon.

Shuoliang City had just been broken, and the people in the city were panic-stricken. Chen Jun's army was very disciplined. It was not the first time they had seized the city, and they took over the city defense very quickly. Anyone who took advantage of the chaos and caused trouble would be sent to prison. Qi Xiao has been orderly along the way.

Standing on the city gate, Qi Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When he left Yongcheng, only Baixiqiao and Zong Sheng followed him, and this journey from Chen to Qi was easy to say but extremely difficult to say, and so many people around him braved it He was ordered to help him, with two veterans, Chen Heng and Lu Xiulin, Yan Chuan and others under his command could take on heavy responsibilities, and they could even drive Tiance and the Second Battalion of Xuanji.

He admired the great general Bai Liu since he was a child, and when he was studying military books with his master, he always imagined that one day, he would also be able to stand on the city gate and look down on the world. Just imagining it can make his blood boil when he was young.

Now he is really standing here, the land under his feet was the land of Qi before today, and now he has the surname Qi, he should be proud, but now he doesn't have much excitement and joy in his heart, and the tip of his nose can vaguely smell the smell of blood mixed with gunpowder smoke , and even made him a little unhappy.

He used to be unwilling to be an unknown and idle prince, unwilling to spend his whole life idling, he hated His Majesty for being indifferent to his mother and turning a blind eye to him, he wanted to make contributions and prove himself, he wanted to make his mother proud and fight for her a favor .

He did it all, but unfortunately it was too late, Concubine Lin still didn't have time to see all this.

Qi Xiao turned his head slightly, looking at the empty place beside him.

Tang Ling once stood shoulder to shoulder with him, holding his hand tightly, standing on the gate of Bashan, looking towards the south pole, he said that he would wait for him to come back.

It was too late, too late, even Tang Ling couldn't be by his side, share the victory and be proud of him.

When he raised his hand, he couldn't even hold the hot summer wind. What fun is there?

Without Tang Ling by his side, the position of supremacy is meaningless, immortal military achievements are meaningless, and power in the world is still meaningless.

Zong Sheng guarded Qi Xiao not far away, looking at his lonely appearance, he couldn't help but want to sigh.

"General."

Lu Xiulin led Yan Chuan towards Qi Xiao.

"How is the situation in the city?"

Lu Xiulin said: "The city has been cleaned up almost.

The captives have also been taken out of the city for temporary placement.

All the yamen have been taken over, and Chen Heng took people to check the household department and the treasury first. "

Yan Chuan smiled: "A lot of thieves have been arrested.

Everything else in the city is fine. "

"Thanks for your hard work."

Qi Xiao nodded and said to Lu Xiulin, "I need to trouble General Lu to visit Ji Qin."

Shuoliang was broken, and Fu Shouguang did not come to make trouble, but he still had 10 people in his hands, and there were still two states from Shuoliang to Liujiang to collect, so he had to send someone to recruit them.

Lu Xiulin replied: "The last general takes orders."

"Yan Chuan, go to Feng's house for me, and take the three states to the south by the way."

"The last general takes orders."

After inspecting the city defenses and instructing Lu Xiulin and Yan Chuan on follow-up matters, Qi Xiao didn't want to go back to the camp to sleep and went back to the occupation office.

Bai Xiqiao sat in the side room with his head propped up and yawned. When Qi Xiao came back, he couldn't help frowning: "Why are you here again? Why don't you go back to sleep?"

"There are so many rooms in the back of the office, brother, go to bed."

Bai Xiqiao looked at Qi Xiao, and sighed deeply after a long time: "Why are you more anxious than me."

Qi Xiao seemed to have made up his mind before going south. When Shuoliang City was broken, the most important thing was not to break into the Qi Palace, not to seize the Yuxi regime, but to occupy the office.

Others may not know it, but Bai Xiqiao knows best that what Qi Xiao is looking for is the truth that killed his father Bai Liu and their master Gu Shanmo.

The truth that they could not find out in Yuanjing City at that time is now stored in the Accounting Office.

Unraveling the secret letter of Yinshu will reveal the truth of the year.

***

In the blink of an eye, from summer to autumn, Tang Yao took Tang Ling back to Shaoyang, the capital of the Zhou Kingdom. They had just entered the palace before they had time to greet the emperor and queen mother, when Luo Wei's letter arrived.

"Master Hou, son, news from Yuanjing."

Tang Yao received the letter and waved his hand to make people quit, and glanced at Tang Ling: "Why, it's not the military newspaper of Qi State, so you're so disappointed?"

Tang Ling pursed her lips lightly and did not speak.

After reading the letter, Tang Qiao handed it to Tang Ling: "This king of Chu is really capable... You killed a lot of people from the Metropolitan Government in Chenjing. They don't get news so quickly now, but such a big matter can't be dealt with quickly." It can't be slow for a few days..."

Tang Yao sighed, didn't bother to continue, walked out of the room leaving Tang Ling alone, and said, "You can figure it out yourself."

Tang Ling looked at the letter in her hand and was silent for a long time.

The letter said that the king of Chu found the ironclad evidence from the office of occupation that the Qin family had colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country and framed the general Bailiu. His Majesty Chen Guo was furious. He was demoted from Yuanjing for the king of Huaixi County, and he would never return.

The Qin family and the Gongsun family have been fighting for decades, but they did not expect to fall into Qi Xiao's hands.

One of the two big mountains in the Yuan capital collapsed suddenly. The Gongsun family had no time to be happy, and another imperial decree followed.

Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: I Shaoying Jun Ming, Cimin Enrong, all roads Changping.

The dependents of the country's shade and the way of heaven, inheriting the prosperity of the sun and the moon, accumulate millet and silk, and think it is prosperous.

The ninth son of the emperor, Qi Xiao, is handsome and respectful, filial, loyal and trustworthy, and belongs to the will of heaven. He obeys the first imperial edict, carries out the ceremony, and obeys the public opinion. , with the unity of thousands of years, a heart of the whole world.

Announce it to the world, and the salty envoys will hear it.

Tang Ling's fingers curled up involuntarily, and the letter was firmly held in the palm of her hand.

It's not that Tang Ling never thought that Qi Xiao would be canonized as the crown prince, but he just didn't expect it to be so soon, Qi Xiao didn't even return to Chen country, and the canonization edict had already been issued.

Once the Qin family fell down, His Majesty helped another one up, not only helping him up, but also directly making Qi Xiao the crown prince.

Anyone who understands His Majesty's intentions can see clearly. Firstly, to stabilize the court, lest the big tree of the Qin clan fall, and the hozens all rush to kneel down to the Gongsun clan; What Xiao did on the way back to Yuanjing was a serious crime of treason.

There is also another intention, which is to cut off Qi Xiao's thoughts on Tang Ling, His Majesty can give him the supreme right, now he is the crown prince, and in the future he will be the emperor, and Qi Xiao should be sensible and sensible.

Since Qi Xiao was canonized as the crown prince, according to Chen Zhou's agreement, he must marry Princess Xihe.

No matter how wild Qi Xiao was, he dared to abandon the war just to find Tang Ling's whereabouts. Would Tang Ling destroy the agreement he personally brokered?

"..." Tang Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down by herself. Didn't he expect it a long time ago?Didn't my father expect that too?

He knows it all!The old affairs of Bailiu, the case of Yuanjing, Chen Zhouyihe, the conspiracy of the coalition forces, the strategy of attacking Qi, all of them were either fueled by him or planned by him alone. The person who pushed Qi Xiao to that position was himself ah!Isn't that exactly what he wants to achieve? !

But why does his heart hurt so much, his chest seems to be pierced by a sharp knife, the pain makes him breathless, the pain makes him tremble all over, the pain makes him cry...

Tang Qiao asked him, is it clean?He couldn't answer.

He couldn't stop his longing and love for Qi Xiao, he couldn't bear it, Qi Xiao was his, it was his... Why did he destroy the promise he made for the rest of his life with his own hands!

Qing Lan came to help Tang Ling wash and change clothes with her new clothes in her hand, and was about to enter the palace. Before entering the palace, she saw him fainted on the ground, and she was shocked: "Young master?! Young master! Come on! Come on!"

Ouch, yo, yo... I am my own mother!Oh god!
