Spring and autumn

Seeing him drink the bowl of medicinal soup, Ying Du finally smiled, and when he frowned, he looked extremely simple and honest again.After being fed several rounds in a row by such a person who said nothing but put on a face of true love, Jin Guang couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't come to eat after all his hard work.

"Yingdu." It was the first time Jinguang called his real name so seriously, "I really have something important to say!"

"You are really like a hedgehog. You look cute and cute, and you can stab someone when you stand up!" He always wanted to spoil his interest with business, and even if he wanted to enjoy the time alone after so much trouble, Ying Du put down his hands resentfully. The bowl in the middle, must cheer up to negotiate, "Isn't it just a matter of restoring the country? Tell me, what kind of action do you want to take, and what kind of effect do you want to achieve?"

"I want to borrow troops from the Qin State, and welcome my brother back after the rebellion is suppressed." Ignoring the strange metaphor that suddenly appeared, Jin Guang leaned forward and asked sincerely.

Ying Du smiled contemptuously, and muttered, "I thought you wanted to replace it yourself."

What he said made Jin Guang annoyed. It turned out that he was so unbearable in his heart, so he said seriously: "I will replace it myself. What is the difference between me and a traitor?"

Are you angry?Ying Du's smile didn't change, but became more meaningful, so he put the matter aside and asked, "You want to borrow soldiers from Qin, why should Qin lend you? Qin is in your heart, isn't it just that?" Are you in the company of rebellious officials and thieves? I heard that one of the reasons you condemn Zhao Xu is that he colluded with Qin."

"When you can only find some clues by catching wind and shadows, everyone must be suspicious. Besides, the people of Qin never show up. Who knows what you have in mind?" Jin Guang analyzed with him seriously, "But that's the end of the story. I can only make a bet, if you don't want to help me, why are you taking the risk to save me?"

"Of course I put you under house arrest as a bargaining chip to threaten Zhao Xu!" Ying Du replied without thinking, but met Jin Guang head-on with sad and disappointed eyes. Feeling guilty, he hurriedly turned his eyes away, and forced a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Jin Guang did not move his eyes away, and was still as sincere as a request: "I just want to ask you, are you an enemy or a friend?"

This is indeed very important, but no one has ever taken the initiative to ask it when negotiating. In negotiations involving such important matters, both parties have always guessed from the lines of the other party, and each gave some information to the other party in the words. If you can't get a definite answer, it is undoubtedly an unwise choice.But Jin Guang asked just like that, just like a child asking "Are you a good person or a bad person", innocent and heartbreaking.

Ying Du fell silent, Jin Guang saw it, and pulled out a wry smile, speaking in a voice as clear as a stream: "I am a person without any support, I saved my life in Bingling Pass, and I have lived until now, just for the sake of Restoring the country has already put my life aside. Wherever I pass by, I am grateful to those who can help me but I have nothing to repay. If I meet someone who cannot help me, it is also reasonable. Just for this dark world I don’t have any capital to negotiate with others, just like asking Qin to send troops now, I can only express my thoughts, it can’t influence your decision-making, and I can’t make promises after the accident. The power of life and death lies entirely with you , and I don't have the energy and capital to speculate whether you are an enemy or a friend - a friend is the best, and an enemy and I have no ability to resist. I can only choose to believe optimistically, but in the end I have to ask this question again One sentence, no matter it is the truth or a lie, please give me an answer, and I will choose to believe it."

All kinds of trickery bowed his head under the sincerity that is hard to survive in this world, Ying Du pursed his lips, and hid behind the scenes and participated in many negotiations, he had never been persuaded like this before.After all, it is all about benefits. No one has ever put feelings and morality first. They are illusory things, and no one will really care about them.But Jin Guang cares, he sees things differently from others, sincerity is definitely not wrong, and naivety is not necessarily wrong, and the innocent disaster he experienced is enough to make Yingdu heartache.However, major events related to the world are not so simple after all. Ying Du aroused his own reason: "But you have to understand that for your sake, Qi State has already approached. Once Qin State sends troops, it will lead to chaos in the world. Wan’s bloody sacrifice! Zhao Xu is doing very well in Jin now. I heard that the people of Jin now have peace of mind and the society is peaceful. If you must go all out to mess it up, do you think this is a blessing for Jin?”

More than one person has already persuaded him in this way. Although he was confused in the past, after experiencing the political arena of Chu State, Jin Guang has long been determined to restore the country. He shook his head and denied Yingdu's statement, retorting: "You have to know , what happened to Zhao Xu affected not only the state of Jin. Do you know Chu Xiang Mi Hua? Chu Gong used to employ people without suspicion, and Mi Hua was his younger brother, and he trusted him very much. Later, Mi Hua became more and more powerful. , the son also participated in the decision by the side of the son. The power of their father and son, no matter whether they were willing or not, the result was gradually out of the control of Duke Chu. No wise lord would allow his subjects to become bigger To the extent that he could be an enemy of the country, after Zhao Xu usurped the throne, Duke Chu, who was already seriously ill and increasingly suspicious, completely lost his trust in Mi Hua. The subtle atmosphere I saw in Chu State is a testimony. Brothers turned against each other, and the lord Being two-hearted with the Prime Minister, doesn’t this have a big impact on the principality? Zhao Xu’s usurpation of the throne is a demonstration for the world, which makes the lords have to doubt their own Prime Minister or other high-ranking ministers. It is difficult to guarantee these after a long time Ministers will not be forced to be loyal, so the more Zhao Xu sits back and relax, the greater the hidden danger. There is no such thing as an absolutely peaceful society, and the calm of the Jin State is the undercurrent of high pressure and order!"

"I understand everything you said, but..."

Ying Du wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the eager push of the door. He glanced dissatisfied at Ying Li who had rushed in, but Ying Li had no time to care about his emotions, and handed him a letter as soon as he walked up. After closing the sealed letter, he gasped and said, "Your Majesty, something happened in Chu!"

Glancing at Ying Li's urgency, Ying Du hastily unfolded the letter. Hearing that it was a matter of Chu State, Jin Guang leaned over with an ominous premonition, and with Ying Du's hand, he saw clearly the few words on the letter.

"You guessed right, Mi Hua has really turned his back." Ying Du was also startled, and turned his head to stare at Jin Guang's stunned profile nearby.

It is a confirmation of the existing speculation, but it is still unbelievable.The letter clearly stated that Duke Chu passed away last night, Xiangguo Mihua did not go back to Jinghua directly after leaving Wangcheng, but went north to Yizhou, his fief. Duke Chu issued fifteen edicts asking him to return to Jinghua, but none of them got it. respond.Duke Chu was seriously ill at first, so it was suspected that Xiangguo was mad at him to death. Sure enough, as soon as there was a funeral in the palace last night, Yizhou raised the flag of rebellion.

As if thinking of something suddenly, Jin Guang came back to his senses, his expression became more and more nervous, he dragged Ying Du and said, "Although Mi Hua's power in Jinghua has been weakened, it should not be underestimated. There is no guarantee that something will happen to these people in Jinghua." Boqiu is in danger now, please save him!"

He took himself as a life-saving straw, and asked himself for such things that he should not care about. Yingdu asked Ying'an about the previous Jinghua Academy, and he also knew that Jinguang and Mihu had a close relationship. Hu dared to withstand the pressure from Jin to take him in, which indeed confirmed the depth of their relationship.Now that Mihu was in danger, Jin Guang shook him desperately, making Ying Du feel dizzy, and pulled his hand back to hold Jin Guang's shoulder, Ying Du tried his best to stabilize him: "Xiao Guang, calm down! "

Jin Guang's face was covered in cold sweat, and he could barely see Ying Du's face by turning his unfocused eyes, and the person in front of him frowned like that again, but he didn't mean to be angry at all, and tolerated his nonsense.Ying Du sighed, and comforted him, "Mihu has been the heir for so long, you have to trust him to handle this matter. Besides, there is something strange, Mihu has always trusted Mi Hua, the death of Duke Chu must be The eldest son took over, and Mi Hua supposedly survived all hardships, so why should he rebel?"

One sentence was like enlightenment, Jin Guang woke up and thought about this impossible thing carefully, stared blankly at Yingdu, and listened to him continue: "Xiangguo's rebellion, after all, is Chu's internal affairs, Qin's actions It is inconvenient for neighboring countries that have little contact with each other to intervene, unless there is a request for help from Chu, or the request for help is directly reported to the emperor, and the emperor authorizes the three countries to help each other, then we dare to send troops legitimately."

Although it was enlightenment, a basin of cold water was poured on his head. Jin Guang nodded blankly and said nothing, but his expression obviously dimmed.Ying Du turned his head to signal Ying Li to go out, rubbed Jin Guang into his arms cherishingly, and whispered softly in his ear, "Don't worry, I won't just sit idly by and ignore your affairs."

Jin Guang didn't have the strength to resist his gentleness, which was different from his elder brother's, and there was a unique sense of security in his arms.He once told Jiang Chun that because he couldn't see clearly, he felt insecure, but now it seems that he can touch the beating heart of the other party with his hand, and that strong heartbeat creates an absolutely safe area for him.

This is the unique temperament of Ying Du, which attracts the homeless people to choose to trust completely. It is not a helplessness without capital, but a little bit of soul-stirring temptation, which lures Jin Guang to believe.What's more, the words he left in his ears were so gentle, like the warm sun melting the ice in the heart, and like years of wine making people intoxicated.
