When he returned to Jicheng with Jiang Xu's face on his face, nothing major happened.

He only went out for one day in total, and when the people who served him found out that he was gone, they only informed his confidantes.

Wei Jun was secretly looking for him with people, and Zhuang Qiu came back.

"General, where have you been?" Long Xing's tone was relieved, if Zhuang Qiu really left without saying goodbye, he really didn't know what to do.

Zhuang Qiu said indifferently: "I want to go out for a walk alone, why, I don't even have this little freedom?"

"Of course not, it's just why you didn't tell the servants, and suddenly disappeared like this, making us all worried about you."

"Tell them, you have something to look for me, and I want to have a free day."

Long Xing touched his forehead helplessly and said: "Oh, my general, you are really capricious."

Zhuang Qiu asked: "You didn't tell anyone about my going out, did you?"

"No, how could it be? You're not really missing. Wouldn't it cause panic to tell others rashly?"

"You still have some brains."

"When you were away, General, the brothers on the other side of the border sent a battle report."

Zhuang Qiu hesitated for a moment and said, "Chu is going to fight again? Where did they get their troops?"

"We don't know either, take a look."

Long Xing took out a secret letter with his body temperature from his bosom, Zhuang Qiu held the secret letter and spread it on the table with a little disgust.

Looking at it, he frowned.

"Chu State is really planning to fight."

"Why."

"Their granary was attacked by monsters. Now they are running out of food and need a battle."

"Monsters? Oh my god, that's something in legends. How could there be monsters in a remote place like ours?"

Zhuang Qiu frowned, thinking about this question too.

Such a small city for mortals, monsters would not bother to snatch it.

Because what mortals hoard is mortal food, it can only feed the monsters, but there is no way for them to improve their cultivation.

Since Zhuang Qiu came to Jicheng, he also encountered monsters in the hot springs, and even a cultivator appeared, and there was a sect behind this cultivator.

Originally, an ordinary mortal land shouldn't be like this. The reason for this situation is probably because of Zhuang Qiu.

His meddling in the affairs of mortals will have an impact on some hidden cause and effect.

Rules are the bottom layer that makes this world run. If there are no rules, there will definitely be chaos.

Zhuang Qiu recalled what Lu Xuan said, and he hesitated a little.

Will his meddling really affect Ji Qingning?

If he knew that he should ask that system, he should know more.

But now that Dahuang has returned to the Taixuan Sword Sect, it will take some time for him to fly to Mount Qingcheng.

Zhuang Qiu dismissed this idea, and began to think about his influence on Ji Qingning's Hongchen's heart training again.

Now that it has had an impact, it's too late to regret it, so let's take a step at a time.

Zhuang Qiu did not suppress the battle report of Chu State, and presented it to the little emperor.

The little emperor immediately called the ministers to discuss.

In the face of such a situation where the two armies were at war, Prince Su did not do any more tricks, he said: "My spies came to report that two granaries in Chu State were destroyed, and now they only have one granary left." , The price of grain has skyrocketed, and many merchants are hoarding grain and driving up the price, and now Chu is in chaos."

"The new emperor of Chu didn't issue any decrees?" the little emperor asked.

"On the surface, it was temporarily suppressed, but he has no right to force the merchants to release grain. The merchants don't sell grain now, and some of them who sold it at a high price in private have been beheaded, but the prohibition continues."

Zhuang Qiu felt in his heart that human life is really worthless.

Of course, this kind of situation is not limited to mortals. Among the monks, there are also many monks who are red-faced, red-faced, and their families are ruined because of a little spirit stone.

Several ministers below offered advice to the little emperor one after another.

"Your Majesty, the battle of Chu State is definitely going to be fought. If we don't fight, we won't be able to attract the attention of the domestic people. They probably want to get food from us."

"General Jiang, how many troops has the opponent assembled?"

"There are about 5000 people outside Guanling, and there should be a large force following up."

The number of 5000 people made these people a little discolored.

The main battle faction said: "Your Majesty, this battle can be fought, and it must be fought beautifully, so as to deter the state of Chu, otherwise they will really think that we are soft persimmons."

Some people from the peace faction said: "Your Majesty, we won't get any benefit from this battle. Think about it, if we win, the Chu State will not be able to pay the annual tribute. If we lose, we have to hand over the food on hand Get out, but our people are starving too."

Listening to these people's words, the emperor frowned.

His gaze slowly turned to Zhuang Qiu.

"Jiang Qing, what do you think?"

"This battle is not what we want to fight, but we have to fight. Chu State is attacking, and we must defend the city, so we are fighting passively."

The emperor suddenly smiled, his eyes were somewhat probing and appreciative.

"It seems that Jiang Qing has other ideas."

"Instead of passively fighting, it is better to take the initiative to ambush their elite soldiers outside the ridge to break their morale. Our granary can be filled, but it is not free."

"You want to sell it to them?" The little emperor looked at Zhuang Qiu with great interest.

"Chu has no fundamental conflict with us. They just ran out of food, but we had a bumper harvest last year. Why not let this little food play its role."

"The premise is that, Jiang Qing, you can kill the opponent's elite without leaving any behind."

Zhuang Qiu cupped his hands and said, "Jiang Xu is willing to give it a try."

"Very good, Jiang Qing, hurry back to the border and prepare. The Ministry of Household Affairs draws up a list for me. Although Chu's real estate is not as rich as ours, there are many things that our country doesn't have. Put those things on the list. Show it to me when you're done."

The head of the household department agreed: "Yes."

"Okay, this matter is settled like this, we will wait for your good news, Jiang Qing."

Jiang Xu replied: "We must fulfill our mission."

Prince Su, who had seen the whole situation, was unable to interrupt.

The more time passed, the more he could feel that his nephew had grown up. After the death of the national teacher, he thought that the other party would be decadent and devastated. Who knew that he would grow up so quickly and even take away the government that belonged to him. .

In the past, now he is the one who orders the various departments, and there is no such thing as his nephew to intervene.

But now, he couldn't speak.

Prince Su felt a sense of urgency.

More and more ministers in the court turned against the emperor. After all, the emperor was orthodox, and he was just a regent after all.

And he is old, but the little emperor is in his prime.

Even if he can snatch the throne, how many days can he sit on?

Prince Su frowned, and walked out of the meeting hall with a heavy heart.

Zhuang Qiu saw Prince Su's expression, and after the end, he intentionally walked with Prince Su all the way.

Prince Su noticed someone behind him, so he looked back.

"Jiang Xu? What are you doing behind this king?"

"I want to borrow troops from the Prince. Now that the army is overwhelming, you also know that the Po Cavalry Army only has more than 1 people, but your Jicheng Army is twice as large as the Po Cavalry Army."

"General Jiang is used to fighting with the Chu army, but my soldiers can only adapt to the climate of the imperial city. I went out with General Jiang, but when I got there, I was not acclimatized. I couldn't exert much combat power, but was just a burden."

Prince Su sneered in his heart, borrowing my soldiers, there is no door.

The state of Chu has a heavy army, but if he lends out the Jicheng army, he will be able to see his head at the entrance of the city wall tomorrow.

"It's true, it was Jiang Xu who was abrupt, but Jiang Xu had something to say to Prince Su."

"What?"

"It's not the highest position, it's the best."

"I don't understand what General Chiang is talking about."

"The prince will understand, then I have something to do, so I will leave."

After Zhuang Qiu left from Prince Su's side, he just went home and changed his clothes, then flew secretly to Ji Qingning's residence.

Now that little guy didn't come out to fight him again, Zhuang Qiu flew steadily outside Ji Qingning's house.

In the room, Ji Qingning was writing, and the silver charcoal was burning red, making the room very warm.

Ji Qingning wrote for a while, then put down the pen and frowned.

He blew on the paper on which he wrote, and after the ink on it dried, he continued to write.

Zhuang Qiu walked to the door and knocked on it.

Ji Qingning looked up inside, and subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

Zhuang Qiu said: "Why didn't you see that cold-faced little guard of yours who even competed with me a few times before?"

"Don't tease him, he is playing with him with swordsmanship, every time he fights with you, he will be full of stomach."

"Why, that kid still complained to you?"

"Is there still a need to file a complaint? I can understand it at a glance."

"That's right, Master Guoshi is so smart, so he can understand it at a glance."

Ji Qingning snorted, and said, "What are you doing here, you don't come to see my little guard, do you?"

"Wow, let me see what he does. A boy who hasn't grown up yet is as good-looking as a national teacher."

"Ziqiu, do you want to talk nonsense again?"

"I'm used to it. Looking at Qingning's face, I unconsciously wanted to say a few words. I'm here today to say goodbye."

Ji Qingning was not surprised, he said: "My people reported to me what happened in the palace, and the granary in Chu State was attacked by monsters, which is also unpredictable."

"Yes, man-made disasters can be counted, but who can predict natural disasters." Zhuang Qiu walked behind Ji Qingning, looked at Ji Qingning's handwriting, and praised: "Good handwriting, good handwriting, delicate and beautiful. Without losing character, it is really a good word.”

"It's just random writing." Ji Qingning put the paper back on the table, and said again: "Are you sure about going this time?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies." Zhuang Qiu's expression suddenly became serious.

Ji Qingning was taken aback, he clenched his fist unconsciously, and said two words: "Truth."

"Of course it's [-]% sure. I can kill them all by myself."

Ji Qingning burst out laughing, and then cursed: "I've never seen anyone who can brag better than you."

Zhuang Qiu deliberately said with a straight face: "I'm serious, I can kill them all with one sword."

"If you can really kill them all with one sword—"

"How about it."

"Whatever you want."
