It's only the end of July, and the weather in Xuanbei City is already much cooler than in the capital.
The fog was thick early in the morning. When Situ Jing got up, he received news that the Liang army from Nanping City had arrived to welcome him and Situ Jing back home last night and waited outside the city for half the night.
Xing Ji ordered someone to convey the news, but he told him to wait until Situ Jing woke up before talking.
Situ Jing was angry because he didn't want to stay in Xuanbei City last night. After packing up, he went to find Situ Jing and planned to leave as soon as possible.
There was no answer when he knocked on the door. Situ Jing's attendant said that he had never seen his master go out.
Situ Jing called three times but there was no movement inside. He had a bad feeling and ordered someone to break the door open.
At the same time as the door opened, Situ Jing called again, "Second Prince? Are you okay?"
Unexpectedly, a voice came from the direction of the courtyard door, "Looking for me?"
Situ Jing frowned and turned around to see Situ Jing walking into the yard in the morning mist, followed by his grandfather Qiu Cong. The clothes on both of them were different from yesterday.
"When did the second prince go out? These servants don't even know." Situ Jing smiled, "It's almost time, let's set off quickly."
Situ Jing nodded, "Let's go."
Situ Jing was stunned, "Won't the second prince pack his luggage?" Although there were servants waiting on him, Situ Jing never let the servants touch his things.
"It's ready." Situ Jing said.
Qiu Cong looked impatient, "Are you going to leave or not? You're going to take your time!"
Situ Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "Second Prince and Senior Qiu, please wait a moment." He was very anxious, but he thought Situ Jing would at least have breakfast before leaving.
Not long after, Liang Guo's team was ready to go.
Xing Ji did not show up and sent a subordinate general to see them off.
Situ Jing was worried all the way from his residence to the north gate of Xuanbei City. The last time he came to pick up a bride, he was forcibly "invited" back by Xing Ji when he was about to leave the city.
Situ Jing couldn't help but look at Situ Jing, and saw him riding on horseback with a very calm expression. Qiu Cong looked left and right, as if he was admiring the scenery in Xuanbei City for the first time. At the end of the team were two large vehicles
A cart carrying two coffins.
The soldiers who carried the coffin to the car today felt that the coffin seemed lighter than yesterday, but Situ Jing impatiently urged them to hurry up, so no one dared to say anything.
"Open the city gate!" Following the order, the north gate of Xuanbei City was slowly opened.
The morning fog had just dissipated, and Situ Jing felt relieved when he saw the dark army outside and the high flag of the Liang Kingdom.
The team slowly walked out of the city gate. Situ Jing heard the sound of the city gate closing behind him. They were approaching the Liang Kingdom army.
"See you, Your Highness, the Second Prince!" The leader of the Liang Kingdom generals knelt down and saluted.
Then, like a tide, all the Liang army knelt down and knelt before Situ Jing.
Situ Jing lowered his head, bowed and took two steps back, clenching his fists. He was also the grandson of Situ Xie, and even though he changed his name justifiably, he was pushed down by others. This feeling was not pleasant.
Qiu Cong stood next to Situ Jing, looked at the kneeling Liang army, and snorted coldly.
Xing Ji led a group of generals from Xuanbei City to appear on the tower behind and looked down. Except for him, the other generals did not know what Situ Jing was going to do next.
After a while, Situ Jing didn't ask anyone to get up. Situ Jing frowned and walked over, reminding him in a low voice, "Second Prince, we can't stay here any longer, we need to leave as soon as possible."
Situ Jing turned around and glanced at Situ Jing. The cold look in his eyes made Situ Jing feel a little uneasy.
Soon, Situ Jing withdrew his gaze, glanced around, and said loudly, "I have been sent to Xuanbei City by Situ Xie since I was a child. He has never raised me, and he killed my adoptive parents and my whole family."
Situ Jing's expression changed drastically, "Second Prince, what are you talking about?"
"Today, so many people are testifying. In the past, I was not from the Liang Kingdom. Now, whoever wants to be the second prince of the Liang Kingdom should be the second prince of the Liang Kingdom. I won't do it anymore!" Situ Jing said coldly. This sentence was designed by Qiu Cong. It must have been Let him say that.
The Liang army all had dark faces, and the Qian soldiers on the tower of Xuanbei City, except Xing Ji, were all dumbfounded.
"From today on, I will take my mother's surname and change my name to Qiu Jing. I will no longer have anything to do with the Situ family!"
Qiu Cong looked pleased. He really hated the Situ family who had hurt his daughter, but he did not ask his grandson to change his surname. It was Situ Jing who wanted to change it to Qiu Jing. He could no longer use the name Chen Yun. This is Jing. The character was taken by Situ Xiang, so he kept it.
"Second Prince, do you really want to do this?" Situ Jing's face was extremely ugly. He didn't understand, since Situ Jing planned to betray Liang Kingdom, why did he come here? Why didn't he just stay in the capital of Qian Kingdom?
"What? You want to take me back?" Qiu Jing looked at Situ Jing with a half-smile, "Come here and try."
Situ Jing was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He knew that Qiu Jing was very strong and he couldn't defeat him at all. And behind him was the army of the Qian Kingdom. Not to mention that the Liang Kingdom did not dare to start a war rashly. Even if they fought, under the walls of the Qian Kingdom, Liang would not be able to fight. The country has no advantage!
Seeing that Qiu Jing was about to leave after saying this, Situ Jing turned around and saw the two coffins at the back of the team and asked loudly, "You don't even want the remains of your adoptive parents? You want to return to Qian Kingdom, thinking that Qian will accept you and Emperor Qian will still Do you believe me?"
Xing Ji's voice came from the tower, "Qian Guo welcomes General Qiu to abandon the dark side and join the bright side."
Hearing the words "General Qiu", Situ Jing felt as if he had been struck by lightning! Xing Ji would never dare to make a rash decision, that is, when he was in the capital, Qiu Jing had already negotiated with Duanmu Chen! This shows that Su Liang and Gu Ling also accepted it He killed him! This was completely beyond Situ Xie's expectation, and it was also an unexpected change that Situ Jing could not have imagined!
As a result, the face of the royal family of the Liang Kingdom was once again rubbed on the ground by the people of the Qian Kingdom. What a man who turned his back on the dark side and turned to the bright side! Even the princes of the Liang Kingdom wanted to be loyal to the Qian Kingdom, and even helped the Qian Kingdom fight the war, and the one they fought was still the Liang Kingdom!
"The coffin is a gift for your grandfather. Could you please help me take it back." After Qiu Jing finished speaking, he and Qiu Cong flew up to the Xuanbei City Tower.
The generals of the Qian Kingdom looked at each other. Although they were all shocked, they all knew that Qiu Jing had found a way out with the emperor. Since the emperor trusted him, they naturally had nothing to say. Moreover, everything that happened now was really relieved. Ah! It’s so refreshing to see the people from Liang looking depressed!
It used to be said that the royal family of the Yan Kingdom was the most villainous, but it turned out that the royal family of the Liang Kingdom was as evil as the Yan Kingdom's royal family.
Is there anything that could hurt Liang Guo's face more than Emperor Liang's own son betraying him and joining Qian Guo? At least not for the time being.
Qiu Jing stood next to Xing Ji, and Qiu Cong couldn't help laughing. Good, good, very good, this is what he wants most.
Situ Jing had already sent people to open the two coffins pulled out from Xuanbei City.
The bodies of Chen's father and Chen's mother were missing from the coffin. Instead, there were two tablets, one with Situ Xie's name written on it, and the other with Situ Han's name written on it.
If Qiu Jing hates Situ Xie the most, then Qiu Cong hates Situ Han the most. Just because he hasn't gone to Liang Kingdom to kill people yet doesn't mean he doesn't want to kill Situ Han.
When Situ Jing saw this, his face turned green with anger. He drew his sword and cut off the two tablets and even the coffin.
But the most hateful thing is that even if Qiu Jing made a very "filial piety" farce in front of the armies of the two countries and severely humiliated the Liang royal family, before Situ Han could break off relations with Qiu Jing, Liang
No one in the country dared to do anything to him, including Situ Jing.
The only thing he could do at the moment was to persuade Situ Jing to look back, but he knew very well that he couldn't persuade him, and if he said another word, he would be humiliating himself.
"Go!" Situ Jing shouted angrily.
The Liang army slowly moved into action.
Situ Jing walked out for a while, rode on horseback, and looked back at Qiu Jing, who was standing on the tower of Xuanbei City. He had a lot to say, but he swallowed it back. Up to now, whether he said nice things or was harsh,
If you say anything, it will turn into a joke in the end.
Just as he turned around, Situ Jing heard Qiu Cong shouting, "Tell Situ Xie and Situ Han to wash their necks and wait. I will chop them up sooner or later!"
Situ Jing ordered to speed up. Although he actually had no authority to order Liang's army, no one cared about it at this moment. They all just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
In fact, Situ Jing did not want Qiu Jing to return to the Liang Kingdom and become a prince, because he felt that he and the Liang Kingdom's royal family were not of the same mind, and he had broken major things before and was out of control.
The result seemed to be what Situ Jing wanted, but for him, this process was the greatest humiliation he had ever encountered in his life, and his hatred for Qiu Jing reached its peak. After calming down for a moment, he thought, Duanmu
Chen kept Qiu Jing and even planned to let him lead the army. How could he have the slightest intention to reconcile with Liang Guo? Situ Yao's marriage was obviously meaningless except for giving Duanmu Chen a beauty!
…
After watching the army of Liang Kingdom disappear from sight, the generals of Xuanbei City of Qian Kingdom returned to the military camp meeting hall.
Xing Ji conveyed Duanmu Chen's will, and then asked Qiu Jing to say a few words himself.
Qiu Jing stood up and first admitted the mistakes he had made, hoping that everyone would forgive him and give him a chance to redeem himself. Then he once again expressed his determination to completely separate from the Situ family.
Most of the people here have worked with Qiu Jing, including his former top leaders, and his comrades who rose from the ranks of soldiers to generals with him.
Just as everyone was opening their mouths to welcome him back, a discordant voice appeared, coming from a veteran general, "General Xing, what if he is making a show again this time and wants to win our trust, but in fact he is still helping Liang Guo?"
This is a border crossing and there is no room for anyone suspicious!"
Xing Ji didn't say anything, Qiu Jing sighed, "General Liu's concerns are right. My background and what I have done before are easy for people to doubt. But since the emperor believes in me and is willing to give me another chance, I
I will not betray his trust. I swear, if I do anything for the Situ family again, my descendants will be cut off, and I will be struck by five thunderbolts from heaven, and I will not die a good death!"
People in this world believe in oaths, especially poisonous oaths that curse themselves.
General Liu frowned when he saw this, "In that case, I hope you will not forget your oath!"
Qiu Cong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qiu Jing. Some words had to be said clearly by himself. After the previous incident, he understood better how important sincerity is in interactions between people.
…
Qiu Jing buried Chen's father and Chen's mother in the Chen family cemetery in Xuanbei City. In the coffin were placed the clothes that Chen's mother had treasured for many years that her two sons had worn when they were young. As for the bones of Chen Yun and Chen Xiao, they have now been buried.
Nowhere to be found.
After finishing this matter, Qiu Jing let go of all the guilt and complaints in his heart towards the Chen family.
Duanmu Chen said in his secret edict that Qiu Jing's job arrangements should be made by Xing Ji.
Xing Ji started handing over his work to Qiu Jing as soon as he came up, which made Qiu Jing feel inappropriate, "I'm very grateful that everyone is willing to give me a chance, but asking me to succeed Mr. Hou will not convince the public."
Xing Ji shook his head, "I know your ability, that's why I arranged it like this. There are too few people in Xuanbei City who can take charge of themselves now. Since you have decided to start over, don't be afraid of rumors, do what you should do, and the rest
, time will prove it.”
Qiu Jing's expression became serious, "Thank you so much, Lord Marquis, for your trust. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Qiu Cong chuckled, "This way, Marquis Xing can go home as soon as possible."
Xing Ji nodded, "Indeed, I have some considerations in this regard." He sighed again, "It's embarrassing to say that when I was young, I always wanted to do something big, but I couldn't even handle the family affairs. If I hadn't been a minor in the past two years,
Liang has helped me several times, but I really don’t know what will happen to my family. Ah Jing, as someone who has been there, I would like to say a few words. When it comes to relationships, you must not be hesitant or hesitant. Sometimes, if you make the wrong move, it will cost you your whole life.
To make amends.”
Qiu Jing knew that Xing Ji must be thinking of his two wives who are no longer alive.
"That's true." Qiu Cong agreed, "I've heard a little about your family's affairs. As the head of the family, you do have to bear the main responsibility. Your mother still has to worry so much at such an old age."
Xing Ji felt even more ashamed when he heard this.
Qiu Jing sighed, "I'm not sensible, and my grandpa is worried."
Qiu Cong patted Qiu Jing's shoulder and said, "It's over. If I hadn't met Xiaoliang, I would be an old fool too!"
News that the second prince of the Liang Kingdom, who had been trained as a master, completely betrayed the Liang Kingdom, surrendered to the Qian Kingdom, and became the guard of Xuanbei City is spreading rapidly throughout the world.
Xing Ji only handed over to Qiu Jing for five days, then he took Qi Jiang and left Xuanbei City, traveling day and night back to the capital.
After Miao's death, Xing Ji completely lost his former ambitions and only waited for the opportunity to go home, honor his mother, and educate his children.
Qiu Jing is the opportunity that Xing Ji is waiting for.
…
The capital of Qian Kingdom.
On the day Princess Yan came, Su Liang and Gu Ling went to the restaurant to watch the excitement. She asked Gu Ling if he knew the princess. Gu Ling said she had only met her once and looked very timid.
Just as Su Liang's attention was focused on Princess Yan's gorgeous carriage, Gu Ling looked at an old man in gray among the bustling crowd below through the open window.
As soon as his eyes changed, the old man disappeared into the crowd.
"Master, what's wrong?" Su Liang asked in confusion when he saw Gu Ling frowning.
"There was someone down there just now." Gu Ling recalled that the old man's appearance was very ordinary and not conspicuous, but he was sure that he was not an ordinary person, and he was looking at Su Liang before he was noticed.
Su Liang looked confused, "Could it be that the person who sent me the note showed up again?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "I don't know. If other time travelers really find you, don't admit it."
Su Liang was stunned, "If you really meet a 'fellow countryman', there is no point in denying it."
Gu Ling looked at the crowd below, "Just say that I am the time traveler, and those things you know that are not of this world are all learned from me."
"It depends on the situation." Su Liang sighed slightly, "I hope it's not what we guessed, otherwise the other party is so mysterious and has never been exposed before, and he comes to us again, and I always feel that something is wrong."
After returning home, Gu Ling and Su Liang carefully calculated what kind of identity and past he should have had if he were a time traveler.
Although Su Liang has a "fellow countryman" and is targeting her is just a guess between her and Gu Ling, Gu Ling is very cautious about this and must make up a perfect story to provide cover for Su Liang.
Su Liang thought it would be interesting whether it could be used or not.
"Master, just think about it, if you traveled to modern society, what career would you like to have?" Su Liangxiao asked.
Gu Ling was thinking seriously when Su Liang said, "Master, you could have been a woman in your previous life."
Gu Ling frowned, "You mean, it's set so that I have a male body and a female mind?"
Su Liang coughed lightly, "Yes, but it's a bit weird, so I'll rule it out. It's better to keep it simple. I am the master. I was a military doctor in my previous life, and my family background is the same as mine, so it's not easy for flaws to appear. I know the medical skills
You basically understand everything."
Gu Ling nodded, "That's fine. Next, you have to teach me some things that are not practical here, such as music, painting, history, geography, politics, etc."
Su Liang smiled, "Master, your tone and words don't need to be disguised. You are indeed more of a time traveler than me now. But I don't remember some of the knowledge I learned so clearly. I'll teach you what I remember."
