The first thousand three hundred and ninety-four chapters come to an end
"Sir, what does this...what does this have to do with the slave family?"
"Xue'er, do you think it has something to do with me?"
Yan Lingji said it had nothing to do with her.
It really has nothing to do with yourself.
On the beautiful face, the soft light of the fire charm flickered, and the corners of the mouth were raised slightly. Looking at Xue'er next to him, he couldn't help but smile. He put one hand around the slender waist and whispered.
"No wonder the young master loves you so much."
"I...like them all."
Feeling Xue'er's graceful figure, Yan Lingji's palms became unsteady, moving up and down, and then she expressed emotion. Even though Xue'er's whole body was filled with coldness now.
But when you are emotional, you are even hotter than yourself.
"Sister Yan Ling, don't..., it's so itchy."
Due to Sister Yanling's actions, Xue Ji immediately started to struggle instinctively.
Hearing his words, blushes appeared on her cold and charming face like snow. In broad daylight, what Sister Yan Ling said was true.
"Senior brother, do you really like Xue'er more?"
At this moment, the little girl received the words from her senior brother, and her mood became slightly calmer. She was still lying comfortably beside the bamboo chair, watching the little actions of Yan Lingji and Xue'er, and found it interesting.
Hearing Yan Lingji's words, he seemed to have remembered something. He smiled and looked at his senior brother.
As soon as the words came out, the entire courtyard seemed to become much quieter.
"Ahem... Yun Shu, how's the washing going?"
Zhou Qing ignored her.
What questions were asked.
They are all trouble-making questions. Now I can feel the eyes falling on me, so I don't want to be fooled by them. It's better not to answer that question.
I can feel the softness of my hair. I have been washing it for more than a stick of incense, so it should be almost done.
"Brother!"
"Just say it!"
The little girl was very curious. Anyway, she thought Xue'er was very good, and she also practiced the fire charm of Sister Yan Ling. She was quiet and guarded, had the temperament of Nong Yu, and had the tenderness of Yan Ling Ji.
She also has an unrivaled coolness of her own, and she also likes Xueer.
"Sir, do you really like sister Xue'er more?"
Yun Shu also pursed his lips and smiled. Looking at sister Xue'er who was still being held in his arms by sister Yan Ling, he smiled sweetly. It was just as sister Yan Ling said.
On weekdays, sister Xueer exudes a cold air, but...hehe, it's very interesting.
"Huanfa quickly!"
Zhou Qing had no choice but to narrow his eyes slightly and stop talking.
"Senior brother, if you don't answer, are you acquiescing?"
The little girl refused to let go, holding the senior brother's arm with both hands and shaking it.
I must know this answer today.
"Don't make trouble."
"Senior brother's favorite is of course you."
"Be obedient and be honest."
He patted the little girl's little head... which was considered a response.
"snort!"
"……."
Although the senior brother said this, the little girl still felt dissatisfied because she had a strange feeling that the senior brother's words seemed to be dealing with her.
It's just..., I liked that answer. Looking at the senior brother with his eyes closed, he smiled and laid his little head down again.
******
The land of Shangcai!
At present, it is believed that the land occupied by the Qin army and the city are located, and the Qin army patrols and defends it. Although the number is small, it is enough to guard the area where there are no Chu people.
Following the order of the King of Qin, Xiong Qi, the Prime Minister of Changping, was appointed as the envoy of Xuanfu. He led a huge convoy and led the dignitaries and officials who were going to reorganize the Chu State's cities. They left Hangu Pass, left Nanyang County, and set foot in the Chu land.
Since the early years, the former king of Chu State was a hostage in Qin State, so in a sense, Xianyang was the first hometown of Lord Changping.
What a pity, bloodline shackles.
This is the first time I have set foot in the land of Chu, and I have a lot of emotions in response to everything.
The carriages and horses did not stop, and they took the lead in stopping at Cai on Chu land. This place is also the hometown of Qin Tingting Wei Li Side, but his family had all moved to Xianyang a few years ago.
Climb the tower, look through the openings between the battlements, and look far into the distance. You can see an endless wilderness with streams running across it. It is approaching midday, and it should be the harvest season. There is no one on the fields.
For decades, both sides of the Huaihe River in Chu State have actually become the center of gravity of the Chu State's granary. The tributaries of the Huaihe River are intertwined, irrigating thousands of miles of Huaibei and thousands of miles of Huainan.
Although the land east of the Yangtze River is not bad, it has vast waters and crisscrossed jungles. Wu and Yue have spent a hundred or two hundred years unable to rectify it. How about the Xiang family now?
"Chu is in trouble!"
Wearing a red brocade robe, with a black lower skirt hanging down, and a mountain crown tying up his hair, he looked in his forties, which is when he was prime minister.
Sitting in the center, opening the government and leading the government, the Great Qin Dynasty came out to the east, and made outstanding achievements. With a long sigh, everything has become a thing of the past.
I don't know if my decision is correct or wrong.
I should assist the great king to go out to destroy the country, pacify the Xia, and create a magnificent country that has not been seen in three generations. Such a glory, even the ancient human emperors are eclipsed.
However... I think of the Chun Chun words of the Empress Dowager Huayang, the guidance and guidance of the Empress Dowager for decades, and the hard work of Mrs. Chu.
Thinking of the dejected expressions of the foreign relatives from Chu who came to his house in the past few years since they came to the East, he was their pillar of support, their last pillar of support, but he failed to save them.
Over the past few years, my mind has been shaken!
Therefore, there was chaos like when Qin attacked Zhao.
Hundreds of scholars entered Qin and Xianyang, and they kept trying to persuade themselves!
I also went to South Korea to quell chaos, met some people, and heard some things.
Staying safe in Xianyang City, keeping their position as Prime Minister, their glory will not fade, and Lian'er and Xin'er can live in a peaceful and peaceful environment.
However... I fall asleep every night, but I often wake up!
…
For a moment, Xiong Qi was silent, looking deep into the distance, and couldn't help but fall into a state of confusion, without any perception of the outside world.
…
…
"grown ups!"
Suddenly, I don't know when, a loud word came to my ear.
"What's the matter?"
Xiong Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and breathed a sigh of relief again. He turned his body slightly and looked at the man who was saluting. It was the Chief Historian who had been with him for many years.
"We have guests waiting at the City Lord's Mansion!"
The long historian bowed again and spoke.
"Who?"
Xiong Qi frowned and looked at the chief historian.
"A merchant who goes about doing business!"
The chief historian nodded.
"……."
"Let's go."
Looking up at the sky, the bright sun was obscured by dark clouds. For a moment, the specific time was unknown. Xiong Qi waved his hand, turned around, and walked down the tower.
The chief historian followed quietly, and the waiter followed quietly.
After one stick of incense.
In the city lord's mansion.
Xiong Qi dispersed the unimportant people, sat quietly in the side hall, drank tea quietly, and called the merchants.
"Changping-kun!"
"Changping-kun!"
"..."
Ten people entered in a row, all wearing linen robes. They did not dare to wear brocade robes in the area controlled by the Qin army. They had different looks. They entered the side hall and bowed deeply.
Everyone stopped talking and immediately fell into a long silence in the side hall.
"Did you know that there were snares and secret guards among the chariots and horses accompanying Qi Qi on this trip to Chudi?"
After a hundred and ten breaths.
Xiong Qi put down the tea cup in his hand, placed it on the wooden table in front of him, and looked around. Some of the ten people in front of him were familiar to him, while others were strangers.
"Changping-kun!"
"This is Da Sima's personal document!"
A strong man came out of the procession, with unabashed military spirit all over his body. He stepped forward, half-knelt on the floor, and took out a secret letter from his arms.
Hold it out with both hands and say a word of respect.
"Changping-kun!"
"This is a document written by Xia Kui!"
Another strong man came out. Although he didn't have the iron-blooded aura of the previous man, he still had a heroic aura spreading throughout his body.
With a rough expression, he half-knelt down and bowed, took out a secret letter from his arms, and held it out with both hands.
"Changping-kun!"
"This is a document written by the great master!"
Another person stepped out of the queue. He was covered in coarse linen clothes, but he had light black and white hair on both sides. His hair was a little messy, and his expression was a little bit temperamental.
At this moment, there was a different kind of calmness. He took out a secret letter from his arms and held it out with both hands.
"Changping-kun!"
"This is a handwritten document from an old friend of your Excellency!"
Another person stepped out of the queue. He was old and had frost-like hair on his temples. He came forward tremblingly, took out a document from his arms, and held it out with both hands.
"Who are you……?"
Looking at the old man in front of him, Xiong Qi raised his eyebrows. In his memory, he did not recognize this man, and he was so old.
Is the document in my hand an old friend of mine?
Do you have many old friends?
Not many are consistent.
Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, Xiong Qi's mood became even more complicated.
"Go back to Changping-kun!"
"I am Ju Wu, the doctor of Yan State!"
The old man spoke deeply, raised his head, looked at Changping Lord Xiong Qi, and looked deeply at Xiong Qi.
"Ju Wu?"
"It's you!"
"You are Yan... Yan Dan... you are indeed not dead!"
"Kai then knew that he would not die so easily."
"What about you?"
"Whose documents do you have?"
"Take them all out."
Ju Wu!
This name Xiong Qi is not unfamiliar. When the Qin State attacked Yan, there was a record of him in the government documents. He was the Taifu of Yan Dan and a senior official of the Yan State.
Although his position is not high, he is deeply trusted by Yan Dan.
However, after Yan Dan died in Yang Le, he disappeared. ... Appearing here today? There is also a secret letter from an old friend.
When he first heard the news about Yan Dan's conferment, he was stunned.
Because if Yan Dan died so easily, then...he wouldn't have been able to resist Da Qin for so long, but...in any case, it didn't matter whether he died or not.
The State of Yan was destined to fall.
Today, seeing Ju Wu here confirmed the trivial suspicion in my mind. After saying that, he suddenly stood up from behind the wooden case.
Look at the people in front of the hall who didn't say anything.
Are they trying to force themselves?
Appearing openly and openly in the land of Shangcai?
They are forcing themselves to take that road!
…
Xiong Qi vicissitudes of life smiled, and for a moment, the thoughts deep in his heart became much clearer, forcing himself to do so.
So what should I do?
"Changping-kun!"
"This is a document written by the Crown Prince of South Korea!"
"..."
"Changping-kun!"
"This is a document written by General Wei Jiu of Wei State!"
"..."
"Changping-kun!"
"This is a document written by King Zhao!"
"..."
"..."
As Xiong Qi's smile fell, another figure knelt down in the hall, each took out the document from his arms, said something, and held it high.
"Hahaha."
"All schools of thought!"
"Shandong Kingdoms!"
"You... you guys, is it because Qi didn't give in to what you asked for today? Is it... that you can't get out of this land of Shangcai?"
Xiong Qi's face was still smiling as he walked down from the top, taking down the documents from those people one by one and stacking them one by one in his hands.
There are ten secret letters in total, but they have not been read!
Then, he remained on the wooden table casually.
"How dare you do this!"
"Changping-kun!"
"We, the disciples of hundreds of families, who are in ruins from the Shandong kingdoms, have come here today in the hope that Lord Changping can save our lives."
"The Kingdom of Chu, which has your bloodline, is waiting for you."
"The Qin State is now in a state of power, and it is difficult for the Chu State to compete with it. Although the Great Sima has the intention, he can only defend himself first. Could it be that you just watch the Chu State follow in the footsteps of other countries!"
"Sure enough, with your help, the Chu army will be victorious in the current battle. The Great Sima has made an appointment with the king, and with the power of victory, he has appointed your Majesty as Ling Yin. He will be in charge of the affairs of the country and lead all the countries. The power of hundreds of families will be combined.
Resist Qin."
The strong military man who took out the documents of Xiang Yan, the great commander of the Chu State, saluted in fear, and then spoke in a gentle tone.
"The six halls of the farm, with one hundred thousand disciples, are willing to obey Lord Changping's orders!"
A word from the farmer.
"Everyone in the Mo family is willing to listen to Lord Changping's order!"
Someone from the Mo family said something.
"We all follow."
"..."
Everyone expressed their stance again and bowed deeply.
"Ruoran Qi's guess is right."
"In Xianyang, have you already taken action?"
Xiong Qi put his hands behind his back and glanced at the ten people in front of him one by one. The ten of them... came today and did not leave any way for themselves to escape.
"Changping-kun!"
"My wife and my good daughter have left Xianyang City safely and will arrive in Chuland soon."
"No matter how much the farmer pays, the wife and the good daughter will definitely be fine. Moreover, the wife and the good daughter have the heroes and the support of the Mohist giants. Mr. Changping can rest assured!"
In the hall, another loud word immediately came out.
"Hahaha!"
"The destiny of Qi."
"I'll... take a rest today."
Hearing this, Xiong Qi smiled up to the sky and stepped out of the side hall.
******
The armies gather together!
Li Xin led his army and waited for five days at Pingyu, and Mengwu's army also waited for four days at Xixian. All heavy armored troops, light armored troops, and all kinds of siege equipment arrived at the rear.
"General Lee!"
"A few days ago, when I captured the land of Xi County, the defenders there were only more than 2,000 people, so it didn't take much effort."
"It's just that there are no stores of grain, grass, baggage, etc. in the city. It seems that there is no intention to resist there. In addition, for the past three days, scouts have reported that the main force of the Chu army has moved, and there are signs around Ruyin."
The army was stationed in two places. Meng Wu led a group of soldiers and horses to meet Li Xin to discuss the follow-up strategy. In the shogunate's military tent, the main generals and partial generals were lined up, thinking that they could discuss it together.
Meng Wu stood in front of the fine sand table in the tent, pointed at the land of Ruyin with one hand, and looked at Li Xin with the words in his mouth.
"What the old general said... was actually Xiang Yan's suspicious move."
"Currently, there are only two ways for Xiang Yan. One is to avoid the battle and preserve the main force of the Chu army, or to not defend Ruyin in the future to delay Shouchun's southward movement."
"Both of them - this is Xiang Yan's plan. Our army will pacify the enemy and split the county into two parts. Then we will attack Ruyin. The troops will be even more dispersed. That is the only opportunity left for Xiang Yan!"
"I would have thought that the latter was more likely."
