Spring and autumn

With the sudden appearance of Qin Gongdu and taking away the extremely controversial son Guang, this failed Xiaoman League will end unhappy.It was just that Mi Hua, who was a bystander and didn't say a word, immediately embarked on the road back to China. When Jiang Chun, who went to see Jin You once, came back, it was too late to see him off.He didn't understand why his father was in such a hurry, but he understood Zhao Xu's thoughts who were also in a hurry to leave.In any case, brother Ziming was not taken away by the Jin people, and because of the appearance of Ying Du, the already muddy situation was even more chaotic, making Zhao Xu distracted. This has already achieved the goal of a small victory.

Yingdu is here to save people, and everyone believes in this. With Jin Guang's identity, being captured by Qin State is undoubtedly a direct threat to Jin State. Once the people's minds change, Zhao Xu's new dynasty will bear the brunt of it. .He can force Chu State to hand over people, or he can not give Jiang Chun face, but he has to be afraid of the powerful Qin State, so before this alliance meeting, even if he is not sure whether Jin Guang is dead or alive, he has made full preparations. The preparations to deal with emergencies, but thousands of calculations, did not count that Yingdu dared to lead a young man and go straight into the siege, and the thousands of troops behind him had already broken through the defenses and attacked Huanglong.Zhao Xu was so mad that he didn't have time to reason about the emperor's change of face, so he immediately rode his horse and took everyone to Xinjing.

However, when he looked up at the gate of Xinjing standing safely, Zhao Xu even wanted to kill someone.

Seeing the sudden return of the king, the gatekeeper hastily lowered the gate and came out to greet him in person.Sitting on a horse and looking down at the dense crowd of soldiers, Zhao Xulian took several deep breaths before barely suppressing the dizziness caused by his rage.

"I was cheated..." Only Wei Fan, who was closest to him, heard the gritted teeth, and he couldn't see it, and the king beside him had already galloped into the city.

The alliance is only the looming manifestation of contradictions, and the undercurrent after the face is torn apart can be out of control like a mountain crumbling.To appease the emperor's emotions, Jiang Chun, who returned to Qi State, immediately devoted himself to the work of Duke Qi. The first thing he did was to find Tian Meng and ask about the old stories of the Battle of Qingmuguan. The slips were placed on the ground, and Jiang Chuan's signature was on all the key documents, and each scroll showed Qi's wrongdoing.

Although it was a threat, Zhao Xu was right. The agreement reached at the beginning was that Jin State ceded the land twenty miles west of the four towns west of Qingmu Pass, and agreed with Qi State to transfer the use right for three years.This is a strange agreement. Since Jin was forced to cede the land, Jiang Chun couldn't figure out why there was only such a short lease period for the cede land.However, the public opinion demand of the League has been met. Since Zhao Xu was accused of treason, Qi, who is on the side of justice, must stand with the emperor, and no matter what, he must support Jinguang who is far away in Qin.

It was almost immediately judged that this agreement must not be recognized, at least it must be recognized in another way.After receiving the defense and force chart from Sima Tianyou, Jiang Chun made up his mind.

"We can't give this land." Jiang Chun said categorically, hiding the chart.

However, Tian Meng was worried: "If you don't give it, you will be wronged. You have to find a way to explain it to the world!"

"Of course there is an explanation. The widows at the alliance are protecting the emperor, and you can still use protecting the emperor as an excuse." Jiang Chun raised the corner of his mouth lightly, and said very confidently, "Now that everyone knows that Mr. Guang is still there, they must also be concerned about Mr. Zhao Xu. If there is doubt about the legitimacy of the government, we will bite him to death. He is rebelling against the superior, and if he does not return the power to the government, we will not return this land."

Tian Meng was still worried: "It's morally correct to say so, but if he is really forced to return to power, what should we do?"

"If he returns to power, Qi State will be a great contribution to the restoration of Jin State. Jin State will not benefit from it. We can just ask them for this piece of land as a reward." Jiang Chun smiled, and said suddenly Seriously, "Twenty miles is only useful as a bargaining chip for threats, but two countries with such a large size have really restored diplomatic relations. Who would want to have a grudge with each other over this small land of twenty miles?"

The idea of ​​ceding the land as a reward seems a bit naive. Tian Meng also understands that this is just a simple explanation from the emperor for what must be done. It is possible to gain benefits.

"Then work hard for General Tian You to personally guard Qingmu Pass during this time, and don't let the Jin people take advantage of the loopholes." Jiang Chun looked up at Tian You.

Tian You saluted and said "Don't worry, Your Majesty", and then retreated.

Watching him leave, Jiang Chun turned to Tian Meng again, and said, "Send a letter to Qin as well, asking Duke Qin to carry out the edict of the emperor and punish the rebels together."

Tian Meng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood the intention of the emperor, smiled knowingly, and replied: "Yes."

The letter was sent to Qin State on a fast horse, and arrived at Gongcheng almost at the same time as Yingdu's team slowed down after entering the country. On this moonlit night, several cases of Duke Qin were laid out.

As soon as the doctors went down, the room was filled with a familiar fragrance of medicine. Ying Du sat by the desk in the bedroom, and Jin Guang, who was almost completely shattered, fell asleep beside him.

Glancing at the letter, he casually put it aside, Ying Du just stared at Jin Guang's sleeping face in a daze.

He was thinner than when he was in Xuzhou, and he seemed to be struggling to breathe lightly. He had a high fever and frowned tightly as if he was enduring great pain, and he couldn't even fall asleep peacefully.On the way back, when he leaned against his arms completely irresistibly, Ying Du only felt like he was dreaming.From that glimpse, to immediately knowing his identity, and now being able to hold him safely in his arms, it has not even been a month.

When Xuzhou said goodbye, he said "we will definitely meet again". In addition to controlling the current situation, he also harbored strong expectations.The spies stationed in Wangcheng reported back their plan at the alliance meeting, and Yingdu couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of this fragile young man while he was worried.He was carrying out the restoration plan almost non-stop, dragging his broken body, facing the danger step by step.This is something that even Qin Gongdu, who is arrogant and unruly in the eyes of outsiders, can't do. Although Qin is powerful, as the most important helm, even his superficial dangerous moves have to be reserved for himself in places where others can't see. A way out.However, Jin Guang was really fighting alone and broke the boat.

After twisting the veil and carefully applying it on his forehead, Yingdu got up and saw Meng Fu who had come in.

Meng Fu's name is Ying Li, and he is the best young man selected from among the princes. He has followed Yingdu since he was a child, and at the age of 15 he can take charge of his own affairs. Waiting for orders around Duke Qin, he became one of Duke Qin's most trusted and close ministers.

Ying Li came in with a qin in his arms, and then he put it on a few cases: "The king asked me to find something, and I finally found it."

Touching the qin cover made of brocade, Ying Du thought deeply.When he was in Xuzhou, he observed that Jinguang never left the piano, never played it or mentioned it, and didn't know who gave it to him, but since Jinguang liked it, he brought it to find it.In the current situation, Jin Guang had no choice but to stay in Qin for a long time. It would be better if he didn't go back and forth less. When he wakes up, he must find this piano.

Seeing that your lord was silent, Ying Li tentatively asked, "Your lord said that rescuing the young master is of great use, so why did you insist on bringing this zither here?"

Taking advantage of the chaos, he sneaked back to Wangcheng to look for Qin, but it was an adventurous and difficult task. Ying Li couldn't understand it, but seeing that Ying Du was just staring at Qin in a daze, and had no intention of explaining, he had to take out a few The letter on the case was pressed under Qin, and he asked again: "Do you need to reply to Qi Gong's letter?"

Ying Du's straight eyeballs finally rolled away, and instead of answering the question, he pressed the piano with one hand and asked, "Is Xu Fei back yet?"

Ying Li was taken aback for a moment, and replied, "I'm already on my way, and I'm about to arrive in Jiezhou while I'm talking..."

"Let him go back." Ying Du interrupted him, took a jig stick from the back wall and stuffed it into Ying Li's hand, "You take my jest and seal the Golden State to him right away."

Ying Li hurriedly caught Jie Yan, worried about the emperor's arbitrary judgment: "Fenghou? Such a big matter, is it with Xiangguo..."

"No, I'll explain to Mr. Ping. Xu Fei has been the master of the right for many years, and he should be a marquis." Ying Du briefly explained a few sentences, and said, "Remember, let him be careful. The Jinyi Pass within the jurisdiction may need to use troops in the near future."

Your Majesty always considered the long-term, and Ying Li didn't argue any more, and respectfully said yes, then glanced at Jin Guang who was sleeping next to him, and quickly stepped back.

The reason why the Qin State is so powerful is not only the accumulation of Qin Dukes in the past, but also its foresight. Yingli knows that Yingdu is playing a big game of moving the world in his hands.That's why others couldn't understand his control. He clearly threatened the state of Jin, but not only did he not move at the Tonglao Pass facing the state of Jin, but he continued to send more troops to the Jinyi Pass on the border of the state of Chu.Clearing the heaven and earth is just a matter of going with the flow. He wants to surpass his predecessors and hegemony, and complete this ambition that has lasted for generations at the lowest cost.The more chaotic the world is, the easier it is for his plan to be realized. Once the people's minds are unified and the master is famous, more than half of the great cause will be completed.

Jin Guang is a god-sent opportunity, and he will never let it go.

"Come here." After thinking for a while, Ying Du called out, and a courtier quickly entered from outside. Ying Du handed him the letter from Duke Qi in his hand, and ordered, "Give this to Duke Jin."

The courtier took the letter without daring to read it, and asked, "Is it just to send it? If Duke Jin asks, how should he answer?"

Ying Du Lianju sat next to Jin Guang, tested the temperature on his face with his hand, and replied: "Don't say anything else, let him guess for himself."
