Chapter 376 376. Changed My Mind
The news that Duanmuchen canceled the reward order spread quickly.

Qiu Cong, who was in Xuanbei City, couldn't understand after learning about it, "Situ Xie didn't cancel the reward order for you, why did we cancel the reward order for his grandson first?"

Qiu Jing thought for a while and said, "Something must have happened that we don't know about."

Qiu Cong frowned, "What could it be?"

"For example..." Qiu Jing was thoughtful, "Situ Xie caught someone and threatened Su Liang and Gu Ling."

"Then what about you? I'm not afraid, but I'm tired of worrying about it every day!" Qiu Cong frowned.

Qiu Jing shook his head slightly, "Grandpa, don't worry. I think Situ Xie will probably cancel the reward order for me when the news reaches Liangguo, but it may be later. Otherwise, it will be endless. I may not die. But it's more likely that his precious grandson will be caught or killed."

Qiu Cong snorted softly, "It's best!"

On the trees in the yard outside the window, there were a few more human heads.

Today, there was something to be happy about. Letters and things were sent from the capital.But these were before Duanmuchen canceled the reward order, so he didn't say anything about it.

Su Liang's letter only told their grandparents to be careful.

Cen Man wrote a letter to Qiu Cong, in which they talked about trivial daily things at home, what interesting weapons did Lao Mu and Gu Ling make, they caught a fat fish, and Nan Gongqian learned a few new tricks vegetable.

In addition to the winter clothes Su Liang prepared for them and the medicine to dispel the wind and cold, there were also two cloaks that Nangongqian personally made for Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing.It can be seen that the stitches are not very fine, but Qiu Cong was so happy that he put it on immediately.

Qiu Jing also tried it, and thought it was okay. Nangongqian's female celebrity still needs to be improved. If she is interested in it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't like it or not.

Although the clothes prepared by Su Liang were top-grade in Yan's Embroidery Village, the ones made by Nangongqian made the grandparents and grandchildren even more happy.It's not about the cloak itself, they are very pleased with Nangongqian's current body and spirit, as well as the status quo of life.

Looking around, Qiu Cong felt that something was missing.

After a while, he slapped his forehead, "How come no one has said whether Xiao Liang is pregnant with a son or a daughter? Shouldn't we be told about such an important matter?"

"This is about Su Liang and Gu Ling. They definitely don't think they should tell me. But if they didn't tell Grandpa, they probably wanted to surprise Grandpa." Qiu Jing analyzed.

Qiu Cong twitched the corners of his mouth, "To be pleasantly surprised, I had to be able to go home years ago. It's difficult with the current posture."

Qiu Jing said obediently, "It's all my fault."

Qiu Cong sighed, "If you want to fight, fight quickly, and you'll be fine after the fight."

Qiu Jing is here to atone for his crimes, and it only counts if there is "merit".And Qiu Cong had to wait until the Liangguo Situ clan was destroyed before he could relax his protection of Qiu Jing.

Qiu Jing shook his head, "Liang Country will not go to war at this time of year." Fighting in winter has no advantage for Liang Country, which is extremely cold, because the climate has much less impact on Qian Country.First of all, the lack of food and grass will prevent the army of Liang country from going far, unless Yan country and Liang country reach a solid and reliable alliance.

But in view of past experience, if the royal family of Yan Kingdom tells the royal family of Liang Kingdom: Let's fight, fight now, there will be enough food and grass.The royal family of Liang Kingdom will definitely suspect Yan Kingdom and want to cheat them.

Qian State is located in the Central Plains, Yan State really wants to transport grain and grass to Liang State, the battle cannot be small, and it cannot avoid the sight of Qian State.Pretending to be a caravan is useless, because the food and grass needed for war are not of the same order of magnitude as a normal caravan.

"The soonest we have to wait until the beginning of spring next year?" Qiu Cong frowned.

Qiu Jing nodded, "I think so."

Qiu Cong sighed, "Then when will I see my grandson!"

"It will be earlier than I gave birth to grandpa's great-grandson." Qiu Jing said.

Qiu Cong kicked him away angrily.

……

Although the reward order for Situ Jing has been cancelled, and Qiu Jing's has not yet been issued, but those who came for the reward already knew that there would be no return for Qiu Jing, and most of them chose to go to Yaocheng to find a chance to kill Situ Jing.

Being retaliated by the royal family of Liang country is not in the consideration of these masters who "would rather die for money". No matter how bad it is, if you go to Qian country to receive a reward, you will be sheltered by the royal family of Qian country, and you will even be appreciated for it, and you will be promoted to a noble Maybe.

In order to protect Situ Jing, Situ Xie hid him directly, and did not let him show up for many days, neither in the palace nor in the original Yue Palace.

Useful, but somewhat embarrassing.Because Qiu Jing can't and won't hide. He is the commander of the Northern Army of Qian Kingdom and must preside over the overall situation in Xuanbei City.And his reward order was not short, but no one succeeded in doing anything to him, not even news of his injury.

It made people understand why Situ Xie valued Qiu Jing so much.In terms of strength, he is not comparable to those princes.In terms of mind, he is now entrusted with important tasks by the emperor of the Qian Kingdom, which has already explained everything.

But this is even more ironic.He was supposed to be the best prince of the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, but he is devoted to the Qian Kingdom and regards the Liang Kingdom as an enemy. What went wrong, it is worth pondering by the officials of the Liang Kingdom.

Finally, Situ Xie received the news that day, within the time he expected, Duanmuchen canceled the reward order for Situ Jing.

Situ Jing was finally able to come out of the dark treasure house in Liangguo Palace.After being bored for a few days, his face turned pale, and his mood was extremely bad. Whenever he thought of the name "Qiu Jing", he gritted his teeth with hatred.The second person I hate is Gu Ling.

"It seems that Gu Ling really cares about the lives of Liang Zhen's family." Situ Jing's eyes were cold, "Since that's the case, if he doesn't send Qiu Jing's head over, don't blame us for being rude!"

Situ Xie looked calm, "He won't kill Qiu Jing. Not for Liang Zhen, not for anyone else."

Situ Jing blurted out, "If we captured Su Liang, wouldn't Gu Ling kill Qiu Jing in exchange?"

Situ Xie nodded, "No." This is the principle of Gu Ling and Su Liang's life, and it doesn't matter who is more important.

"Then why did the grandfather put such conditions on them?" Situ Jing was puzzled.

"Just tell them that Qiu Jing must die." Situ Xie said coldly, "After three days, I will cancel the reward order for Qiu Jing."

Situ Jing couldn't understand it even more, so he heard Situ Xie say, "That's the end of the obvious."

The fact is that Qiu Jing is not afraid of reward orders, but Situ Jing is.

"What about Liang Zhen's family?" Situ Jing asked.

Situ Xie said to keep it for now, maybe it will be useful in the future.

When Situ Jing went to tell Liang Zhen that Gu Ling had chosen to compromise for him, Liang Zhen burst into tears and kept saying that he was wrong and that he was the one who was sorry for Gu Ling.

If Liang Zhen hadn't told Situ Xie about Gu Ling's secret back then, many things might not have been worse, but they would indeed have been different from what they are now.

And what he once said to Gu Ling, "Your grandfather really cares about you", now looks extremely ridiculous.

……

Three days later, Situ Xie announced in the court that since Emperor Qian had expressed his sincerity in seeking peace, Liangguo would also cancel the reward order for Qiu Jing.

Although Qian Guo canceled it first, the officials of Liang State still felt a little aggrieved, because Qiu Jing was still alive, which was a kind of humiliation to the royal family of Liang State.

But anyone with a discerning eye believed that the cancellation of the reward order did not mean that the royal family of Liang Kingdom would not continue to assassinate Qiu Jing.

Two days later, Situ Xie finally met the guest he had been waiting for all this time, the cronies sent secretly by Prince Yan.

The leader was Ji Yuebai's master, named Li Hong, who was the old man who had visited the Su Mansion earlier.

Li Hong took his people and lived in the original Yuewang Mansion.Situ Xie did not entertain them with great fanfare, because the negotiation had to be conducted in secret, so as not to be noticed by Gan Guo's eyeliner and ruin the event.

"My master only wishes the peace and well-being of the people in the world." Li Hong said solemnly, "It's time to break the current situation, and if it can't be broken, it can't be established."

Situ Xie nodded, "What Li Gong said makes sense."

"Cooperating with Emperor Liang to destroy the Qian Kingdom is the fastest and the only option that can promote the unification of the world." Li Hong said.

Situ Xie was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Prince Yan's thoughts coincide with mine!"

"In the past disputes between Yan and Liang, my master did not participate in the decision-making. If the emperor of Liang doubts the sincerity of our cooperation between Yan and Liang this time, there is no need to talk about it." Li Hong said neither humble nor overbearing.

"No!" Situ Xie said firmly, "I believe in Prince Yan's sincerity and reputation."

Li Hong then mentioned that what Ji Yuebai meant was that the start of the war should be set at the beginning of spring next year, early March. By then, the weather would no longer be cold and it would be beneficial for Liangguo to send troops. How does the country send the grain and grass to support the Liang country.

Situ Xie's expression became even more relaxed when he heard the words, "Okay! I will also order people to prepare a good war horse as soon as possible, and give it to Yan Guo." Yan Guo sent food and grass, and naturally it was not for nothing.

Situ Xie was very satisfied with the time Ji Yuebai set for the start of the war, because he also planned it that way.If the Yan Kingdom said that it would go to war within the year, Situ Xie would definitely suspect that it was the Kengliang Kingdom again.

Next, how to transport the grain and grass from the Yan Kingdom to the Liang Kingdom, and how to send the war horses from the Liang Kingdom to the Yan Kingdom, are problems that need to be solved urgently.

Even in the beginning of spring, it's just that it's not cold anymore. If there is a real fight, Liangguo's food and grass still won't last long.Most of the Liang country is a place of bitter cold, and there is a shortage of food all year round. This is the reason why the previous rulers of the Liang country must fight wars. Only when they win can they have a good life.

Yan Kingdom's land is fertile and food is abundant, which is also one of the reasons why Yan Kingdom's royal family does not want to fight.They have already occupied the best territory, so there is no need to waste money and money to actively fight with others. It is best to guard their own borders first and watch the fire from the other side.

Although it is feasible to form an alliance with Liangguo to destroy Qianguo, what about after that?Liangguo is a jackal, after helping him grow, will it really be good for Yanguo?To shake up the status quo, you have to take risks.

Unless, the person in power of Yan Kingdom wants to dominate the world.

Now, Ji Yuebai has shown this kind of desire, which is what Situ Xie wants to see.

And although Situ Xie didn't fully believe in Yan Kingdom, based on his understanding of Ji Yuebai's past behavior of keeping a low profile, he thought Ji Yuebai was a very ambitious person.

The royal family of Liang country has been waiting for a sincere careerist to take power in the royal family of Yan country, so that Liang country can use Yan country to take an important step to break the situation.

Regarding how the Yan Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom completed the "deal" before the war across the Qian Kingdom, Li Hong conveyed Ji Yuebai's meaning: listen to Situ Xie's arrangements.

After the battle at the beginning of the year, it was already an open secret that Situ Xie had been working in Qianguoyan country many years ago.

But Ji Yuebai's meaning was very simple: Yan Kingdom had food and grass, and was willing to give it, but Situ Xie had to find a way to bring it back.

Situ Xie had planned for this kind of thing a long time ago, and it is not impossible to realize it, but he must use his key pieces and channels, and be extremely cautious, so that he can cover the eyes and ears of the royal family of Qian Kingdom.

This is an absolute secret and cannot be easily known to the people of Yan Kingdom, especially at the beginning of the cooperation, the degree of trust is very limited.

Situ Xie asked Li Hong and his party to rest at Yue Wang's mansion, and we will discuss other matters another day.

Li Hong had no objection, but he said that he had to leave in five days, and he also said that he had heard the reputation of Wolong Snow Mountain all along, so he came here and wanted to go for a visit.

Situ Xie agreed wholeheartedly.With lessons learned from the past, he did not arrange for his grandson to accompany him, but arranged for a team who knew the terrain of Wolong Snow Mountain very well.

Li Hong and his party are all practicing family members, their skills are not weak, and no accidents occurred.

After returning from mountain climbing, Li Hong made an unfeeling request to Situ Jing who entertained him: his grandson was not in good health, and the doctor said he needed snow lotus to take care of him. He wanted to try his luck to see if he could find it, but he was not so lucky it is good.

Situ Jing was instructed by Situ Xie to try her best to meet Li Hong's request, and said that she could give Li Hong some high-grade snow lotus.

Li Hong was very happy and thanked repeatedly.

After Situ Jing reported to Situ Xie, Situ Xie told him to prepare more, and also took a petal from the few thousand-year-old snow lotus left to give to Ji Yuebai.

Li Hong would not refuse all the treasures that were given to him alone, showing that he was quite fond of money.

Situ Xie likes to deal with people with such weaknesses, and he does what he likes, sending out a lot of treasures.

But regarding the trade of grain and war horses, Situ Xie still said that he hadn't thought of a comprehensive solution until Li Hong practiced it, and would send someone to inform Ji Yuebai after the plan was complete, but asked Yan Guo to prepare to support Liang Guo's grain and grass.

Li Hong responded with a full mouth, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Early the next morning, Li Hong set off and left Yaocheng with his people.

Situ Jing asked Situ Xie, "Is Yan Guo really believable this time?"

Situ Xie's eyes were deep, "It's worth the gamble. As long as Yan Kingdom does not form an alliance with Qian Kingdom, even if the contract is temporarily broken, it will be the same as before in the end, and the result will not be too bad."

Situ Jing frowned, "What if...Yan Kingdom secretly formed an alliance with Qian Kingdom? Although this possibility is unlikely, but this year Duanmuchen became emperor and Ji Yuebai took power. Many things will be different. However, I heard that the princess of Yan State was ill when she arrived in Qian State, and has been ill for a long time. The only one who makes Duanmuchen treat her differently is my younger sister."

Situ Xie was silent for a moment, "The matter of Duanmuchen's harem doesn't explain anything. Yan Country has no reason to form an alliance with Qian Country. Liang Country will keep Qian Country in peace. If Liang Country disappears, it will be a disaster for Yan Country. There will be danger of extinction."

"The emperor's grandfather is right." Situ Jing agreed with a full face.

……

The capital of Qianguo.

Yuanming Pavilion underwent a renovation before winter, and "floor heating" was laid.It was still Su Liang who raised his head, and Gu Ling went to make trouble.In this kind of thing, he only surprises people and never disappoints.

Su Liang's belly is getting bigger and bigger, Gu Ling looks at it every day, and occasionally reveals a little bit of sadness.

Su Liang felt happy and asked him what he was thinking.

Gu Ling sighed slightly, "Why are only women able to have children? It would be great if husband and wife could choose who to give birth to."

He just felt that Su Liang was very hard, but he couldn't empathize with him, nor could he share it.

Su Liang felt that Gu Ling proposed a very interesting idea. In her previous life, with the development of technology, it might be possible to realize it.

Su Liang told Gu Ling seriously, "If you change places and you give birth to a baby, I will love you too."

Gu Ling froze for a moment, "That's right. It would be great if the baby could jump out from the cracks in the rocks."

Su Liang couldn't help laughing, "That's Monkey Sun."

A few days later, Lao Bai and Yuan Ying still had no news.Li Hong passed by on his way back from Liangguo, and came to see Su Liang and Gu Ling secretly.

"The master has explained that no matter what gift the Emperor Liang gave, it will be passed on to the two children." Li Hong sent all the snow lotus flowers and other treasures brought back from the Liang Kingdom to the Su Mansion, clearly stating that they were not for Su Liang and Gu. Ling's is for the unborn baby.

Li Hong's grandson is indeed weak, but he doesn't need the snow lotus to take care of him. He mentioned it to Su Liang when he came, and hoped that Su Liang could heal his grandson when he had the opportunity in the future.Su Liang readily responded.

Gu Ling took out a box that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Li Hong, "This is a gift for Ji Yuebai's son, please pass it on."

Li Hong accepted it, and left after telling Situ Xie everything he had said.

Su Liang asked Gu Ling curiously, "When did you prepare a gift for Ji Yuebai's son? What is it?"

"A wooden sword." Gu Ling said, "Ji Yuebai once asked his son to worship me as a teacher. I refused at the time, but now I have changed my mind and plan to accept him."

Su Liang smiled, "Aren't you afraid that he will abduct your precious daughter?"

"That's why I have to keep an eye on him, teach him well, and train him to be a good brother to our baby." Gu Ling said.
