Huan Rong

Since the fleet docked in Changguang County, caravans have come from all over one after another.

There are large and small caravans, the big ones have more than a hundred people, and the small ones have more than a dozen people.There are also quite a few merchants who are accompanying them, and the number of them gathered together is quite considerable.

As the news of the fleet continued to spread, the caravan that came was getting bigger and bigger.Among them are many wealthy merchants from the north, with a team of more than [-] people. The servants and guards are all capable, and even the driver who drives the horses is full of muscle. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are private soldiers.

Qin Jing's group of 300 people was very eye-catching at first glance, but mixed with these caravans, it became less eye-catching.

"Your Highness, do you want to send a letter to the fleet first?" Zhang Lian asked.

"Yes." Qin Jing nodded, "Send another person to the market, and pay attention to the shops in the market."

"promise!"

After arriving at the pier, in order not to attract attention, 300 people quickly dispersed and walked in Fangshi in rotation.

The shops are next to each other, and there are crowds of people in front of every tent and wooden house, which is very lively. When the shopkeeper and the staff talk, they have to open their voices, otherwise they will not be heard at all.

Seeing such a scene, one knows that the fleet has come prepared and brought a lot of good things.

Discovering that there is actually a grain shop in Fangshi, and there is a long queue in front of the gate, more than [-]% are merchants from Qingzhou and Bingzhou, as well as local people from Changguang. become dignified.

"Your Highness?" Zhang Lian noticed something was wrong and asked, "But did you find something different?"

"What does Bercow think of this place?"

Zhang Lian froze for a moment, followed Qin Jing's gaze, and his heart tightened suddenly.

"The servant thinks that he came prepared, and what he said earlier is not false. However, to be on the safe side, he needs to be on guard."

Zhang Lian did not see Huan Rong's letter to Qin Jing, but he knew a thing or two about the content of the letter.

Zhang Lian had mixed feelings about Tang Gongluo.

This person is good at fighting, and his reputation is by no means in vain.

When Di Qin was a general, the two sides confronted each other several times. This man was very good at arranging troops, and he was a rare general.The Wubao of the Qin family rose, and Tang Gongluo led a group of soldiers to vote. He made great contributions to Qin Ce's proclaiming the emperor and establishing the system, and deterring the powerful.

Who would have thought that Gong Dang Kaifuyi and the third division, promoted to worship, but in the end had to retreat to Qingzhou.After retreating, they still couldn't save it. All the clan members were slaughtered, and the Tang's ancestral hall was first pushed down and then burned.

Anyone who encountered such injustice would be furious and kill someone in anger.

The blood spattered three feet in anger, let alone a general who has fought in the battlefield for many years.

Tang Gongluo's rebellion may not really have the ambition to become king, but he was forced to do so, and there is no way to retreat.

"Your Highness, Shu Jun led his troops to temporarily station in the plains. In order to avoid Chang'an's suspicion, he will sooner or later move eastward. If Tang Gongluo is to be released, careful arrangements must be made to ensure that there are no omissions. If not, not only will things fail, His Highness will also Get involved."

Zhang Lian was very sympathetic to Tang Gongluo's experience.However, once Qin Jing was involved, this kind of sympathy became insignificant.If he finds that something is wrong and tries to be punished by Qin Jing, he will stop it.

"I know." Qin Jing nodded and said, "We can only make a conclusion after the sender returns and knows the meaning of Emperor Huan Han."

Zhang Lian nodded and swallowed his persuasive words.

In the final analysis, he thought Qin Jing's safety was the first priority.

His Highness has an old relationship with Emperor Huan Han, and they have a close relationship, but Huan Yi, who is leading the fleet, is mediocre, and he hasn't even spoken a few times.In case the other party shows malicious intentions, take the opportunity to set up a trap, and take precautions in advance so that you will be in a hurry when things happen.

Zhang Lian's worry was not unreasonable.

It's just that he didn't expect that Qin Jing insisted on going to Changguang County, not only for Tang Gongluo and Qingzhou people's hearts, but also for Huan Rong who went north with the boat!

Emperor Huan Han appeared in Qingzhou, and the matter was no small matter.

After reading the letter that Goshawk brought back, Qin Jing was speechless for a while.In the end, the letter was collected, and the people around him didn't reveal a word.

Therefore, Zhang Lian, Xia Houyan and others knew that Huan Yi led the fleet to go north to welcome Tang Gongluo to Jiankang, but they didn't know that there was a big Buddha on board, and the big Buddha was accompanied by two murderers who liked to set fire.

The sun was high and the temperature was rising. People in the square city were crowded, shoulder to shoulder, and the voices were noisy. Many people's faces were covered with oily sweat.

The cavalry who delivered the letter returned and brought back Huan Rong's handwriting.

After seeing it, Qin Jing immediately summoned everyone to leave the market and head to the three-masted ship docked at the pier.

The distance is still far away, and the known ship types are amazing.When they got close, seeing the copper skin wrapped on the hull and looking up at the tall mast, everyone was shocked, and they all took a breath.

"How is such a ship built..."

Today's water battles are mostly on rivers, and building boats are mostly used in battles.Even the largest building boat can't compare with this huge ship in front of me.

Qin Jing got off her horse, seeing Huan Yi and Jia Bing walking towards them, her eyes flickered slightly.

Zhang Lian and the others followed closely, standing on the pier, looking at the black-faced man opposite him, he saw that the man was wearing a short robe and his hair was tied with a kerchief, he was not at all like a gentleman from the southern land, he looked like a man who had been traveling on the sea all year round the gangsters.Even if he guessed his identity, he still had some doubts.

Hei Cheng is like this, is he really the brother of the person who "the girl blocks the road and the car can't move an inch"?

When the two sides met, they greeted and greeted each other, which was considered polite.

Most of the team of 300 people stayed on the pier, and only Zhang Lian and other ten people boarded the ship with Qin Jing.

This was not Huan Yi's request, but Qin Jing's initiative.

"Xuanmin please!"

Chang'an Jiankang, one north and one south.

Qin Jing and Huan Yi have similar identities, and they simply match each other in words, which is a bit warm.

Huan Yi has been on the sea all year round, and his straightforward temperament has never changed.In a few words, he had quite an agreement with Qin Jing, thinking that Qin Silang was a good person.

If Yuan Feng was present, he would have frowned, and solemnly told Huan Yi: Brother was deceived, Qin Xuanmin is a scheming and black-bellied man, there must be a plot!

It's a pity that Yuan Feng is not here, and he is traveling with the master in the academy to study the method of water control.

Therefore, Qin Jing deliberately restrained his coldness, and Huan Yi opened up his heart to communicate with each other, and they talked very warmly with each other.After boarding the board, Huan Yi patted his chest and said that after the matter is settled, he has several altars of fine wine, and invited Qin Jing to drink with him.

"Good wine is rare, thank you Ji Dao."

Huan Yi smiled and waved his hands, apparently in a good mood.

Zhang Lian knew it was wrong, but looking at Qin Jing's back, he still felt suspicious.

Why does he feel that something is wrong with His Highness today, and he seems to be in a better mood?To make an inappropriate analogy, this kind of performance is like a soldier who has been fighting in the South and North for several years, and finally has the opportunity to kill meat.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lian subconsciously shuddered, and desperately told himself that the illusion must be an illusion!

Bringing people to the boat, Huan Yi retired.

The soldiers entered the cabin to report, and after a while, several people came out of the cabin.

The leader is the year of the weak crown, long robes and jade belts, picturesque eyebrows, and noble air all over the body.Seeing Qin Jing, he took two steps forward, Weiyu laughed first, and said, "Brother Qin has been good to you before?"

Qin Jing gestured to salute, but was supported by Huan Rong's arms, and did not really bow down.

Hearing the other party's words, he also smiled and said: "Your Majesty is concerned, Jing is very good."

Huan Rong called "Brother Qin" to pave the way for the next negotiation.

Qin Jing called "Your Majesty" and there were also considerations behind it.

When we first met, we didn't say a few words of pleasantries, and we went straight to the front of the machine.The two of them were not afraid that things would fail, but instead they said one sentence after another, obviously enjoying it.

Xi Chao and Jia Bing did not say a word, they stood a few steps away from Huan Rong, keeping their eyes on the nose, nose and heart, acting as the background wholeheartedly.

A wise man should know when to speak and when to play deaf and dumb.

Zhang Lian was stunned on the spot.

Not because of the occasion, he really wanted to rub his eyes.

How could Emperor Huan Han be on board?

Looking at His Highness's appearance, he was not surprised at all, obviously he already knew about it.

It's no wonder that he has a plan in his chest, so it's because of this!

Thinking of this, Zhang Lian released the state of petrification, and his mind began to spin rapidly, thinking about how to fight for it next, so as to get the greatest benefit for Qin Jing.

There is always an invisible bond between similar people.

Just as Zhang Lian made a decision, he almost raised his eyes to meet the gazes of Jia Bing and Xi Chao.

The three of them looked at each other with smiles on their faces and were very polite.

As for what he thinks in his heart, whether he is preparing for a "violent battle", only God knows what he knows.

"General, should the plan be changed?" An accompanying soldier stepped forward and whispered, "Emperor Huan Han is here, Tang Gongluo..."

Zhang Lian shook his head and stopped talking about joining the army.

"His Royal Highness didn't make it clear, just play by ear."

"promise!"

Huan Rong took Qin Jing's arms and walked into the cabin very affectionately.

When the host and guest were seated, the eunuch brought tea soup and exchanged some pleasantries, Huan Rong ordered someone to invite Zhao Yi.

The three parties faced each other and made it clear in person, so that Tang Gongluo could rest assured and facilitate the next action.

Zhao Yi was invited to the cabin, at first he thought it was Huan Rong who had written the letter and asked him to take it back to Duke Tang.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Jing sitting in the cabin.

He knew that Qin Jing had correspondence with Tang Gongluo, and that the prefect of Yanmen had said that Qin Jing did intend to spare Tang Gongluo's life.

But in any case, it was unexpected that Qin Jing would appear on the boat of Emperor Huan Han.

When he set off for Changguang, the counter-insurgency army was still on the border of Qingzhou.How long has it been since the commander of the army actually appeared in Changguang!Even if it is fast and fast, day and night, it shouldn't be so fast.

The only explanation is that Qin Jing and Huan Han had been in contact for a long time, even before Jiankang wrote to Tang Gong!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi suddenly felt cold water poured down his head.

Knowing that this matter is not harmful to oneself, on the contrary, it has a lot of benefits.However, thinking of his past impressions and the changes in Chang'an and the grassland in recent years, Zhao Yi subconsciously felt that the world's understanding of King Langya was still too shallow, and they also lacked understanding of the young emperor in the south.

By observing Zhao Yi's expression, one can deduce what he is thinking.

Huan Rong and Qin Jing didn't take it seriously, let alone explain.After he saluted and took his seat, he cut straight to the point and got to the point.

"The letter to Duke Tang has been written."

Huan Rong ordered the eunuch to hold a wooden box containing two scrolls of bamboo slips.

After consideration, Huan Rong chose to write the letter on bamboo slips instead of silk cloth and bamboo paper, mainly to show his solemnity and convince Tang Gongluo that he would not hesitate to go south in person to welcome the latter to Jiankang, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

Zhao Yi held the wooden box, but did not open it, but solemnly wrapped it in silk cloth and placed it in front of him.

"Your Majesty's will, the servant must bring it."

Seeing him behave like this, Huan Rong smiled and nodded.His gaze turned to Qin Jing, apparently waiting for him to speak.

"Jing has always admired Duke Tang's high righteousness." Qin Jing said solemnly, "The fault lies with others. Although Duke Tang's rebellion is not tolerated by the law, it is justifiable by circumstances."

The two sentences set the tone, and with Emperor Huan Han as evidence, it is naturally impossible to go back on his word.

After Zhao Yi heard this, he immediately got up and corrected his clothes, folded his hands, held them flat in front of him, and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Your Highness, servant on behalf of the envoy!"

Huan Rong raised his eyebrows, knowing very well in his heart that Zhao Yi's move was to express that Tang Gongluo rebelled against Chang'an - to be precise, it was against Qin Ce, not Qin Jing.

Sure enough, to be able to gain a foothold in the current world, not to mention the talents of the world, is definitely a smart person.

The tone of the matter is set, and the next step is how to implement the plan, and how much benefit can be gained from the two sides joining forces.

There is no need for Huan Rong and Qin Jing to come forward for the details, Jia Bing, Xichao, Zhang Lian and others "friendly" negotiate and negotiate together.

When it comes to key points, the greatest interests are involved, neither side will make concessions, the friendly atmosphere disappears, and the room is full of frost, snow, rain, and verbal strife.

Huan Rong didn't open his mouth, and drank the tea soup calmly.

Qin Jing also remained silent, put down the lacquer cup, and picked up a piece of fresh honeydew melon.

When the honeydew melon touched her lips, the bright red became more eye-catching.Sliding down the esophagus, the Adam's apple rolled up and down, half hidden in the collar, with an inexplicable breath of abstinence.

Gudong.

Huan Rong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the roots of his ears felt faintly hot.

Qin Jing seemed to be aware of it, turned her head to look over, raised her eyebrows, and smiled in her eyes.Before Huan Rong could recover from the taste, he picked up the lacquer cup again and took a sip slowly.

With a bang, Huan Rong's eyes turned white.

On purpose, this person must have done it on purpose!

In an instant, there seemed to be an invisible wall blocking the cabin, forming two distinct worlds.

On the one side, there is a sharp tongue, rolling up the arms and sleeves, almost tearing open the neckline, jumping up to convince people; the other side is also "hot", and has the same urge to roll up the arms and sleeves or even pull the collar. The reason is, But it is completely different from the former.

After a negotiation, both sides did not take advantage of it, but they did not feel exhausted. Instead, they met their opponents with high morale and decided to prepare well tonight, hoping to fight again tomorrow.

Huan Rong drank two cups of tea, but still couldn't quench his heart.

Looking at Qin, who was calm and calm, with the same smile, he narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly smiled.

flirt, right?

In his boat, who is afraid of whom? !

"I haven't seen Xuanmin for a long time, and I miss it very much. Maybe we can talk tonight? I want to talk with Xuanmin at night by candlelight, and fall asleep."

Huan Rong said it aboveboard, with incomparable integrity.

The people in the cabin, except for Qin Jing, didn't hear anything wrong with these words.Instead, he nodded in approval, thinking that Huan Rong's move was to ease the atmosphere, so as not to hurt the "harmony" between each other due to negotiations.

As the emperor of a country, it is really rare to have such a heart.

Misunderstandings have thus formed. As for the truth, it is better to continue to bury it and not expose it.
