With a smile on his face, the Prime Minister shook the horse's reins, stepped forward, raised his hand and stroked his beard and said, "Since General Qin calls himself a junior, I am relying on my old age to act like an old man. I have an unkind request, and I hope you will agree to it."
"Please tell me, Prime Minister."
"These cavalry are all from Xichuan, and they are all sergeants of the Tang Dynasty." The Prime Minister said, "They came to Kyoto because of me. They were involved in this fight, and they were all under my order. The fault is not theirs. I don't know.
General Qin, can you give me a thin noodles and let them go?"
Qin Xiao didn't waste any time, raised his arm and made a gesture, and the Long Rui cavalry surrounding him immediately made way.
The Xichuan cavalry guards all looked at each other in shock.
"Let's all go!" The Prime Minister turned around and waved, "Go back to Xichuan and reunite with your families. I am old and can no longer bear such a long journey, so I will not go there with you.
"
"Prime Minister!"
"General Qin opened the door, don't delay." The Prime Minister's voice deepened, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Knowing that the Prime Minister was trying to save everyone's lives, all the cavalrymen saluted the Prime Minister on horseback, then turned their horses' heads and galloped away through the opening.
When the state minister waited for the cavalry group to go far away, he got off his horse, put one hand behind his back, and walked slowly towards Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao raised his hand and made a gesture, and all the Long Rui cavalry clapped their horses and retreated to the rear. They were quite far away, and then they all dismounted and waited.
"Among these sergeants, are there any old members of the Liaodong Army?" The Prime Minister walked to Qin Xiao and looked at the Long Rui cavalry, his tone was calm, as if he was just chatting.
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, there are not only the old Liaodong Army, but also some Dragon Scale Forbidden Army who used to be on duty in Kyoto and originally belonged to Tantai Xuanye."
"It's amazing." The Prime Minister gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "You have no doubts about employing people. You can take these elite people under your command. His Royal Highness really has the demeanor of a king."
Qin Xiao was startled, but immediately smiled and said, "Does the Prime Minister know who I am?"
"I just found out a few days ago." The Prime Minister seemed very tired, so he wanted to sit on the ground. Qin Xiao immediately reached out to help the Prime Minister sit down, and then sat down on the grass opposite the country.
Xiang said, "I have always been in contact with the city. She sent a letter by letter and informed me of your life experience."
Qin Xiao's heart was spinning.
There are only a few people who know his identity as the prince. The saint can know that the most likely thing is that the master has found her for a showdown.
Qin Xiao sighed softly and said, "I just arrived in Kyoto a few years ago and I have no relatives. If it weren't for the support of the Prime Minister, I wouldn't be able to stay in Kyoto, let alone join the Ministry of War. Now that I think about it, how well the Prime Minister treats me
It is gracious."
" It's not like I'm kind to you." At this moment, the Prime Minister was like an amiable ordinary old man, chatting with his descendants. While talking, he took out a small copper pot from his arms and said with a smile, "It's still that girl here.
Xiling met you once and was grateful for your care for her, so she knew you were in trouble, so she acted in front of me and insisted on letting me promote you." As he spoke, he had already made a small copper pot, raised his head and took a sip.
Then he waved it in front of Qin Xiao and said, "I have lived in Kyoto for half my life. I can't adapt to the climate in Xichuan. The humidity there is too heavy. As I get older, I always feel the cold is too deep, so I often drink alcohol to relieve the cold."
When Qin Xiao heard this, he didn't know whether he said it casually or if he meant something else.
After all, he had been tortured by cold poison since he was a child, and had always used strong alcohol to resist the cold. Now it is known that it was brought out from his mother's womb. The master used Qianye Manluo to deal with the Miaojiang Fire Poison, and the remaining poison was carried on his body from his mother's womb.
He didn't know if the Prime Minister knew about this past incident, but he just nodded and said, "The Prime Minister is old and he really needs to take care of himself."
"I will not say these polite words." The Prime Minister asked, "Prince Xiao, I would like to know how the girl is doing now? When I went to Suzhou, I handed the girl to Mu Yeji halfway. I know you
The relationship with Mu Yeji, so!"
"Don't worry, Prime Minister." Qin Xiao said, "Miss Xiahou is in Hangzhou. My aunt has sent someone to take care of her. She is very safe."
"That's good." Hearing that Xiahou Qingcheng was safe, the Prime Minister looked relaxed and said with a smile, "There are many things that are determined by fate. You said that if I didn't let that girl go to Xiling, she and you would
If you haven't seen it, then when you arrive in Kyoto, I won't mind your own business. To be honest, if a border official arrives in Kyoto, he has no friends and is unable to move, so he can send you away with a casual order.
He thought of something and said, "Yes, the two people who came to Beijing with you were sent out."
Qin Xiao said, "Captain Han and Commander Du. Commander Han was transferred to the Southern Army, and Commander Du was also transferred to Southern Xinjiang." After a pause, he said, "This junior knows that if the Prime Minister hadn't arranged for me to stay,
In Kyoto, I would also be sent far away."
"That Commander Du is considered a mate, but Han Yunong is not." The Prime Minister took another sip of wine and said with a smile, "Han Yunong was born in the military, but he can still be useful under Pei Xiaogong." At this point, he sighed, "Say.
When it comes to Han Yunong, I also feel that sending him to Pei Xiaogong was a bad move."
After Han Yunong was transferred to the Southern Army, Qin Xiao almost lost contact with Han Yunong, and he also knew the situation of the Southern Army.
Not that deep, but I was a little confused when I heard what the Prime Minister said.
"When Han Yunong arrived at the Southern Army, he and Pei Xiaogong had the same temperament, and he was highly appreciated by Pei Xiaogong." The Prime Minister said, "It's just that Han Yunong has not made any military exploits, so it is not easy to promote him. But Pei Xiaogong arranged for him to be around him and gave him
The position of a marching general. These two met so late that I almost had to wear a pair of trousers when I heard about it."
When Qin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
He was also happy to know that Captain Han was all well.
"I didn't think anything was wrong before," the Prime Minister sighed. "Han Yunong is very talented. It's not a bad thing that the Southern Army has an extra capable general. But this time I realized that this was a bad move. I actually ignored it."
The friendship between Han Yunong and you, Prince Xiao. You two came out of Xiling together. Although you are far apart, your friendship is deep. At the critical moment, Han Yunong is still thinking about your interests."
Qin Xiao's body trembled, he realized something, and asked, "Does the Prime Minister say that Pei Xiaogong has not been able to go north to attack Jiangnan because of Han Duwei?"
"Although Pei Xiaogong is a person who likes to leave a way out for himself, he is also a kind-hearted person and knows how to be grateful, otherwise I would not support him." The Prime Minister said, "I wrote a secret letter to him, asking him to lead the army northward.
, if nothing else happened, in order to repay my kindness, he would listen to me even if he didn't want to. But I didn't expect that Han Yunong would make suggestions beside him, which ruined the big thing. If it weren't for Han Yunong, the Southern Army would have already attacked.
After we go down to Jiangnan, it won't be your turn to live in Xuzhou."
When Qin Xiao was in Xuzhou, he had actually been wary of Pei Xiaogong and was not sure whether Pei Xiaogong would send troops.
Moreover, Pei Xiaogong has been standing still since then, which also made She Yue and Qin Xiao curious.
Now after listening to the words of the Prime Minister, I realized that Han Yunong was helping behind all this.
The Prime Minister must have eyes and ears in the southern army. Han Yunong persuaded Pei Xiaogong to stand still. Someone must have known about it and passed the news to the Prime Minister.
Qin Xiao knew the truth and was grateful.
"Is the old Prime Minister willing to go to Hangzhou?" Qin Xiao thought for a moment and finally asked, "Ms. Xiahou is in Hangzhou. The old Prime Minister can go to Hangzhou to reunite with her. The Prime Minister is old, and the climate in Hangzhou is pleasant, which is the perfect time for recuperation."
A great place for Tiannian.”
The Prime Minister was a little surprised and said with a smile, "You won't kill me?"
"Why did the Prime Minister say this?" Qin Xiao said, "The Prime Minister is kind to me, why do I want to kill you?"
The Prime Minister smiled and said, "Don't forget that the power of your Li family was usurped by my Xiahou family. Back then we The Xiahou family killed the Li family to a bloody point. This time I lead the troops to serve the king, and I will meet you with swords. You are generous and can keep me alive, but what will the people of the world think of you? You are
Prince Li Tang, but you are unable to avenge the Li family, will the world think you are cowardly and benevolent as a woman?"
Qin Xiao lowered his head and remained silent.
"I know your thoughts. You want to save my life for the sake of Qingcheng." The Prime Minister looked at Qin Xiao and said calmly, "Prince Xiao, you are generous, and I am very grateful. Every wrongdoer has his debtor, and his debtor has his debtor."
, when the Xiahou family supported the new owner, my hands were stained with blood. But all this has nothing to do with Qingcheng. I just ask that you can take good care of her so that she can live well. As for the other Xiahou family, hehe, since they did it back then
Because of the rebellion, the Xiahou family has enjoyed all the glory and wealth in the past twenty years, so the price must be paid. Whoever you want to kill, just go ahead and kill him, there is no need to be merciful."
When he said this, he raised his head to drink again. This time he drank the wine in the pot, shook it to make sure there was no alcohol, and then threw it aside.
"When will retribution happen?" Qin Xiao sighed, "The Xiahou family and the Li family have a blood feud, but will this hatred continue forever? If I kill the entire Xiahou clan, what will Miss Xiahou think? These two people
For more than ten years, the Tang Dynasty has shed too much blood and killed too many people. It cannot continue like this." His eyes suddenly became sharp and he said, "What I mean is, except for the culprit, everyone else will be given a lenient sentence as long as they can.
, don’t let hatred continue.”
Of course, the Prime Minister knew who Qin Xiao was talking about as the culprit. Even so, he did not expect Qin Xiao to be so broad-minded. There was admiration in his eyes, he stroked his beard and nodded, "If you can become the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, , it should be the great fortune of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Actually, there is one more thing I want to ask the old Prime Minister!"
"you say!"
"The sword god Linghu Changle died in Kyoto. The matter is complicated and confusing." Qin Xiao looked into the eyes of the Prime Minister and asked, "But I wonder if the Prime Minister knows the truth?"
Although the master promised to tell the truth after Qin Xiao came to Beijing, Qin Xiao thought that the Prime Minister must also know about this matter. Now that he has the opportunity, he really hopes to know this secret matter from the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister looked up at the eastern horizon. The rising sun had already peeked out of his head, and the sunshine of a new day was about to fill the earth.
His expression was very peaceful and he said slowly, "Do you know who Linghu Changle's chief disciple is?"
Qin Xiao was startled, but immediately said, "The leader of the six masters of Sword Valley is Shen Wuchou!"
"No!" The Prime Minister shook his head and said, "Linghu Changle's first disciple is my sister, a current saint!"
