Zhao Pingzhen beat Tang Jing with dozens of military sticks, temporarily relieved him of his military post, and the matter was considered to be over.

This battle dragged on for more than half a year, and the Mu army could almost be said to have won a complete victory.Wan Yanzhao lost more than 6 people in one battle, which severely damaged the vitality of the Kingdom of Jin. It is impossible to plan to go south in three to five years.What's more, Wan Yanzhao's immediate priority is to deal with Wan Yan Kai, this battle has greatly weakened his strength, it is not easy to win the power, and he can't concentrate on trying to dominate the world.

Zhao Pingzhen returned to Pingcheng with the army, and it didn't take long before he received a letter from the capital.

Qin Xiaolou happened to come to discuss matters with Zhao Pingzhen that day. He had just entered Zhao Pingzhen's room, and before he could speak, Zhao Pingzhen pulled him onto his lap and sat down: "Brother Emperor's letter, read it to me."

Qin Xiaolou opened the letter, browsed through the ten lines at a glance, and couldn't help showing joy: "The Jinren sent envoys to the capital to discuss peace." Cut the city to pay compensation.In today's peace talks, the Jin people took the initiative to return the city and promised to pay tribute to Mu every year.After Qin Xiaolou finished reading the terms proposed by Jin Ren, Zhao Pingzhen pondered for a moment and said, "These conditions are acceptable."

Qin Xiaolou said: "How does Zhenqing plan to reply?"

Zhao Pingzhen said: "You write for me. What do I mean? Take the money as it is, and fight as it is. Otherwise, if you collect the money and let those tigers and wolves recuperate, they will turn around and ask for interest from us in a few years!" "

Qin Xiaolou raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, spread out brocade and silk on the case, rubbed the ink, and really drafted a reply letter according to Zhao Pingzhen's intention.

After writing the letter, Zhao Pingzhen hugged Qin Xiaolou in his arms, rubbed his chin against his collarbone back and forth: "What are you doing here today?"

Qin Xiaolou said: "I want to go back to Beijing..."

Zhao Pingzhen's movements stopped immediately, and after a while he said: "No."

Qin Xiaolou was not surprised by his answer, and said again: "I will only go back for a few months to see Cheng Xue's illness..."

Zhao Pingzhen interrupted calmly: "I said, no."

Qin Xiaolou was speechless for a moment.He was worried about Qin Chengxue's illness. Before Zhu Liming returned to Beijing, he repeatedly begged Zhu Liming to cure Qin Chengxue, but he hadn't received Qin Chengxue's paintings for a long time, so he couldn't rest assured anyway.Zhao Pingzhen's attitude made it clear that there was no room for his return, Qin Xiaolou didn't want to confront him head-on, so he could only sigh and put it aside for the time being, planning to discuss it later.

Tang actually took the dozens of army sticks and rushed back to Pingcheng with the army without a break. His wound was infected and he couldn't afford to fall ill.He passed away within two months after arriving in Pingcheng.His funeral was arranged by Qin Xiaolou himself.

On the day of Tang Jing's funeral, Qin Xiaolou didn't return home until Youshi, and Zhao Pingzhen was already there waiting for him.

Zhao Pingzhen said: "Is everything done?"

Qin Xiaolou rubbed his shoulders wearily: "Ah, it's done. He's going out of town tomorrow night. Does Zhenqing have anything else to say to him?"

Zhao Pingzhen motioned him to sit down beside him, and rubbed his shoulders himself: "No need."

After a while, Qin Xiaolou whispered: "I gave him 200 taels of silver. 15 years... only worth 200 taels of this, no merit... huh..."

Zhao Pingzhen leaned close to his ear, bit his earlobe lightly, and said vaguely: "Do you really care about this fame?"

Qin Xiaolou froze for a moment, rolled his eyes and smiled, "Of course I care."

Zhao Pingzhen crushed his earlobe hard, Qin Xiaolou snorted softly, and fell into his arms bonelessly.

Zhao Pingzhen chuckled lightly, and said with inexplicable disappointment: "Fame... I don't know, is this what I want..."

Qin Xiaolou didn't like his lost look, so he grabbed his collar and put his lips on it, forcing him to withdraw his unspoken emotion.

A few days later, Qin Xiaolou was dealing with military affairs at the mansion, and Zhao Pingzhen blew in like a gust of wind, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and the corners of his mouth were tense, vaguely showing that the building was full of wind and rain.As early as when Qin Xiaolou first met him, he was almost a person who had neither great joy nor great sorrow, but at that time he still showed some happiness and anger on his face.Now, the emotions and anger that he has almost cultivated are completely invisible, and he only uses actions to show his thoughts.Now that he looked like this, it was obvious that he was extremely angry.

Qin Xiaolou hurriedly put down his pen and pushed the things on the table aside: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Pingzhen sat beside him, took a few sips of half-cold tea from Qin Xiaolou and gulped it down, Fang coldly snorted and said: "There will be nothing in the past three or five years. A big battle is about to start, and you will draw up an order for me to recruit talented people from all over the world, and there will always be someone who is more talented than Sun Bin and wiser than Zhuge. I don’t want to keep this person Wu Yi for a day!"

Qin Xiaolou was startled slightly, and asked, "What did he do?"

Zhao Pingzhen had a sullen expression on his face: "I have been patient with him. Ever since he returned to Pingcheng, he told everyone he met that he would take the lead in the first battle of the state, and that the emperor would reward him greatly sooner or later. He said that I would also I'm in awe of him, why don't I know why..." Zhao Pingzhen paused suddenly, raised his eyebrows and said to Qin Xiaolou: "Help me to find out, what the hell is he doing in the dark?"

Qin Xiaolou pondered for a moment, and said, "What reason does Zhenqing plan to use to deal with him?"

Zhao Pingzhen said: "It's very easy to get rid of him. In the past two years, I have ruined all the cases of impeachment against him without even looking at them. In fact, I secretly ordered people to make a copy, bullying the people to dominate the market, and accepting private bribes. , which one is enough for him to eat a pot."

Qin Xiaolou knew that Wu Yi could not escape death anyway.However, he felt a little pity for Wu Yi's talent, so he asked a lot: "He must die?"

Zhao Pingzhen glanced at him, narrowed his eyes and said: "What? You didn't want him to die at the beginning, have you changed your mind now?"

Qin Xiaolou pursed his lips and sighed, "I see."

After talking about this matter, Zhao Pingzhen did not leave, but let Qin Xiaolou continue to work, and looked at him with a thoughtful expression.

After Qin Xiaolou finished handling all the official duties, Zhao Pingzhen pulled him up and went out: "Follow me back to the mansion, I have something to show you."

When Qin Xiaolou arrived at Zhao Pingzhen's mansion, he was very surprised to see what Zhao Pingzhen wanted to show him - it was a Taoist Longyang secret art book!

Zhao Pingzhen usually likes to collect some strange things, and it is well known that he likes Longyang.In the past, there were many people who gave him all kinds of secret techniques in the house, obscene musical instruments and even beautiful ladies. Although Zhao Pingzhen would accept them, he really didn't have much interest, and often forgot about them after a day or two.Before the expedition, someone sent Zhao Pingzhen a set of books about Longyang's secret affairs. Zhao Pingzhen had no time to read them, so he left them in the bookcase.Now that the war has come to an end, Zhao Pingzhen accidentally turned out this book and read a few pages, and was shocked to find that there are so many ways to play and fun in the way of Longyang.Although he has been doing this since he was a child, intercourse is more of a catharsis for him, he does not indulge in this way, nor does he suddenly feel dull, the gameplay is only enough, not seeking refinement or seeking many.However, this book emphasizes the unity of body and mind. After reading this book, he somehow got it right. Within two days, he came to Qin Xiaolou to practice the contents of the book.

Qin Xiaolou has always been relatively passive in this field. He has some experience, but he has never seen so many obscenities. He was a little dazed after reading a few pages, but on the surface he was calm and serious. After reading a few pages, I put down the book and went to see Zhao Pingzhen.Zhao Pingzhen sat on the side playing with his fingers, and looked at Qin Xiaolou with great interest: "How is it?"

Qin Xiaolou looked at him quietly for a while, then burst out laughing, it was a heartfelt laugh, the reason for which even he couldn't understand.He bent his eyes with a full face, smiled and sighed: "Is this Taoism's way of dual cultivation...Ming Dong is also very curious."

Zhao Pingzhen stretched his fingers and tapped the table three times: "Then, let's try."
