empress and princess

When an event is not completely over, it is impossible to control whether there will be changes during the period.

Chu Huaimin deeply understood this truth, so he wore the stars and the moon, and went straight to the Qin-Chu border with the edict.There were hundreds of people in the group, and each of them ran to death a few horses within three days, but her mount 'Long Fu' was still full of energy.

Another day, it was too much for everyone to stop and stop, so Chen Hao was begged again by the people below, and he was begged so hard that he had no choice but to go to Chu Huaimin: "Your Highness, I have been on the road for several days. Have a rest for the night."

Chu Huaimin glanced at the sky, although it was almost like going back, but thinking of the people below who had been traveling for a long time, he finally hummed and agreed.

Before night fell, they found an inn to rest and recuperate, and it was rare for everyone to have a full meal.

In the upstairs room, Chu Huaimin still did not rest, scanning a map under the lights.Chen Hao knocked on the door and came in, put the tray next to her, "Your Highness, have something to eat."

Chu Huaimin stared, and slid his fingertips to the right side of the picture to stop, "Look at this place, isn't it very close to Linyu Pass?"

Chen Hao approached, "It's very close, less than three hundred miles away, within Linyu Pass is the old Zhao area."

Chu Huaimin pondered, tapping Linyu Pass with his long and slender fingertips.After leaving Qin Gong, she was always disturbed by an ominous premonition, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. Your Majesty is already at the border to meet us, and there will be no further trouble." Chen Hao pushed the tray and boldly put away the map, "Your Highness, let's eat something first, don't starve to death. "

"We are going back to the country soon, and His Highness will be free again. Now Qin is in chaos, King Qin's life and death are unknown, and Chu is about to rise again." He suppressed his excitement in the last sentence.

However, Chu Huaimin was stabbed by the words "unknown life and death", and he lost his appetite.Just to save energy and continue on the road tomorrow, I barely ate half a bowl of rice, like chewing wax, and I don’t know the taste.

The night was getting darker, and she was lying on the bed without falling asleep. She tossed and turned, and finally looked at the bright moon outside the window.

"Qin Jihuang, what are you doing now?" He couldn't help but read this sentence in a low voice.

Qin Jihuang didn't do anything, but fell into a coma and was driven northward overnight by a carriage.

Linyuguan lost two people overnight, one uncle and nephew went north and the other went south.

That night, Qin Jiufeng also couldn't sleep, so he summoned many subordinates to the military account, and each of them made suggestions and agreed on the best plan to do it. However, the key to this matter lies in Li Shiqin.

Li Shiqin is Qin Mingyue's uncle, so he must listen to Qin Mingyue, so he must be bypassed when killing prisoners.

"General, Li Shiqin's lieutenant general is an old friend of mine. If it really doesn't work, I entrust him to prescribe Li Shiqin's medicine." When the discussion was raging, one of the counselors offered advice.

Qin Jiufeng propped his forehead on the seat, "There is only one chance, and people who are not themselves will never believe it, and others are unreliable."

Everyone echoed, and another voice said: "Li Shiqin also has 20 soldiers and horses in his hands, and although the [-] captives are unarmed, they still need heavy guards. According to my subordinates, heavy armor is the bottom, infantry is the middle, and cavalry is the top. "

Qin Jiufeng frowned, "In your opinion, how many cavalry should we send?"

"If there is no Li Shiqin's men, we can lure [-] captives into a deep valley and kill them separately, [-] cavalry will do!"

"You also said that if there were no people from Li Shiqin, do you think that 20 soldiers and horses would disappear out of thin air?"

"Don't blame the general, it's because the subordinates are thinking too naively." The man laughed.

Qin Jiufeng supported his forehead, and patted the table irritably, "We must rush ahead of Chu Huaimin, otherwise we will miss the opportunity. Once the [-] captives return to Chu, it will be like letting a tiger go back to the mountain."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Killing the prisoners, Li Shiqin is absolutely irresistible.

The atmosphere in the military tent froze for a while, and Qin Jiufeng vetoed various strategies, so it was bound to be the safest.At this moment, the curtain was lifted suddenly, "General, someone is looking for you outside, she said she is your old friend, see you or not?"

Qin Jiufeng was annoyed, and replied: "What old friend. Let her get out."

A moment later, a person in black clothes and a black hat rolled in, and his face could not be seen clearly.However, Qin Jiufeng found that this figure looked very familiar. Before he could ask any questions, the man slowly took off the black hat, revealing a face that frightened the others stupid on the spot.

"Li Shizhou!" The person who yelled also rushed over and punched her in the stomach.Qin Jiufeng gritted his teeth angrily, "You fucking, do you still have the face to see me?!" He punched her in the stomach again, using [-]% of his strength.

Li Shizhou didn't know martial arts, so after receiving two punches, his face turned pale, his internal organs were instantly overwhelmed, and he could only bend over and hold his belly.She couldn't speak a word, coughed uncontrollably, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Jiufeng picked her up again, his fists were already in the air, but they didn't come down for a long time.

Li Shizhou managed to stop coughing, raised his head with some difficulty, his lips were pale, and reached out to grab Qin Jiufeng's sleeve, but she smiled: "The Ninth Prince is as powerful as an ox, or... so powerful."

"Damn Li Shizhou, what kind of tricks are you playing!"

"Mingjian, the Ninth Prince, I'm really not playing. Ahem... I'm here to help the prince."

"Help me? It's ridiculous!" Qin Jiufeng loosened his fist and pulled her closer to her eyes, "That kid Qin Mingyue has such a good heart?"

Li Shizhou smiled bitterly, rubbed his abdomen with one hand, aimed at the iron fist, and confessed honestly: "Qin Mingyue asked me to instigate you."

"and then?"

"I will kill you if you fail to instigate rebellion, and seize military power."

"The abacus is really good." Qin Jiufeng snorted coldly, "Since you are relying on Qin Mingyue, why do you help me?"

"When I help you, I also help Qin, there is no difference between the two." He also promised the queen mother to suppress the prisoners to avoid future troubles.

Li Shizhou didn't say the latter sentence, and gradually felt that his limbs were losing strength, so he stretched out one hand to support Qin Jiufeng's shoulder, rubbed his stomach and slowly straightened his waist, not letting himself fall down.

Qin Jiufeng looked at her coldly, "Okay. Then help me get rid of Li Shiqin, and don't stand in my way to kill the prisoners."

Li Shizhou laughed when he heard this, "What's so difficult about this." After speaking, she raised her other hand, and finally put her hands on Qin Jiufeng's shoulders, and she complained, "My lord, you are too hard, you don't care at all. Pity the fragrance and cherish the jade."

Qin Jiufeng swung his iron fist again, although it didn't hit Li Shizhou, it was quite deterrent and made her shut up wisely.

The next moment, Li Shizhou was grabbed by the collar by the iron fist, and lifted out of the tent like a chicken.She didn't struggle, but when Qin Jiufeng ordered someone to lead the horse, she hurriedly asked, "My lord, where are we going?"

Qin Jiufeng said, "Li Shiqin Barracks!"

At this time, the night was completely dark, and it was impossible to tell which way ahead. "My lord, it's getting late, isn't this too urgent?"

"No matter how late, when Chu Huaimin kills her, what advantage can you get from her?" Qin Jiufeng grabbed Li Shizhou's collar and threw her onto the horse's back.Viciously threatened, "Stop talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will shut your mouth!"

Li Shizhou had no choice but to purse his lips, and followed honestly, not daring to provoke Prince Qin Jiu, who was on the verge of fury.

After all, in the eyes of the Ninth Prince, she is still the unforgivable traitor.

One is in the dark and the other is in the light. The two sides are not far away, and it takes less than half an hour to hurry up.

People like Li Shiqin are utterly loyal and absolutely loyal to Qin. If they persuade them well, I believe Li Shiqin will not stop them.So Qin Jiufeng didn't interrupt, and stood aside silently listening to how Li Shizhou persuaded Li Shiqin.

"Sister, you know, I don't really want to rebel, but Dad..." Li Shiqin stopped, covered his face and said, "The lives of more than a hundred people in the Li family are at stake, so I have to obey."

Li Shizhou stroked his shoulder, "It's not your fault, the king will understand you."

Li Shiqin pulled himself together, glanced at Qin Jiufeng, and asked hesitantly, "Sister, you...are you really going to do this?"

Qin Jiufeng didn't speak, and threw a brocade scroll on the table with a snap, proving her determination.

The relationship between the two siblings is very good, and Li Shiqin has always regarded sister's words as an imperial decree, especially after seeing the killing order written by the King of Qin himself, he was a little hesitant at first, but instantly dispelled his scruples, and he immediately Express cooperation.

"When the 2 Chu troops were first captured, they were divided into three camps for control, and each camp had about [-] people. I don't know how many people the general brought?" Finally Li Shiqin asked.

"Thirty thousand." Qin Jiufeng said.

Li Shiqin thought for a while, and quickly calculated, "[-] vs. [-], the difference in quantity is a bit big, do you need me to lend it to you?"

When the word 'no' came to her lips, Prime Minister Li interrupted leisurely: "Her [-] are all iron cavalry."

Li Shiqin choked.

Those 7 people had no weapons in their hands, and endured cold and starvation for more than two months. They were weak and lost their fighting spirit.The iron cavalry of the Ninth Prince, not to mention 7, even a hundred thousand troops could kill none of them.

"When will it start? I will fully cooperate." He had to change the question.

"Tonight."

Qin Jiufeng's voice was extremely cold and merciless, and it completely wiped out Chu Huaimin's hope of saving them and returning home.
