Chapter 134 No.16 Scene [-]

In the mid-spring of the 12th year of Yuansui, the [-] troops of Cheng State were defeated by the pincer attack of firebolt guns and Guanning soldiers.Soon, Ye's army recaptured the natural moat of Feiyunxia, ​​and the grain and grass of Chengguo brought from the east were cut off immediately.In desperation, Yin Qujian had no choice but to order the remnants to give up the siege of Mulu City and switch to defense with difficulty.

But blessings and misfortunes never come singly.Not long after, news spread to the camp that not long after Wei Liang's army entered the territory of Ye Kingdom, tens of thousands of people went south to the Hejian Corridor via Jingshu, and turned eastward.He has great ambitions to annex Yecheng, the two major vassal states in one fell swoop.Now Yin Qujian only has [-] cavalry and [-] infantry left under his command. From anyone's point of view, he will never be able to break through and rush to help Dangpu, the capital city on the other side of the mainland.

This soldier and horse, an ambitious hero in troubled times, never thought that he had been strategizing for many years, and finally ushered in such a disastrous defeat.Although he is currently sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, his clothes are disheveled, his hair and beard are messy, and he is drinking heavily.Like a fierce tiger that has fallen into a trap, no matter how sharp its claws and teeth are, it is nothing more than fighting a trapped beast.

However, soon, Yin Qujian's thoughts were brought back to reality by a figure who broke into the tent.The visitor's complexion was as pale as dead ashes, it was Kun Jie, the national teacher whom he once obeyed.There was still a faint smile on his face, as if Yin Qujian's embarrassment and helplessness was exactly what he wanted to see.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Yin Qujian jumped up from his seat like a tiger descending the mountain with the strength of alcohol, and his two big hands with bulging veins firmly grabbed Kun Jie's neck, lifting the other party up in the air. He got up, and slammed hard on the wine table next to him.A set of sapphire wine vessels placed on the table was knocked over and turned into a pile of broken jade.

"The widows have never seen you, how dare you trespass into the camp! It's all because of you, it's all because of you! Tens of thousands of Cheng Guo's elite were buried here, but what they got in return was a doomed defeat!"

Yin Qujian roared, foaming from the mouth.Kun Jie's clothes on one side of his body were cut by a sharp piece of jade, but he didn't care about his bloody arm, instead he laughed at the other party:

"My lord, the person who tore up the paper "Stopping the Soldiers and Repairing the Good Book" and attacked our army from behind was the Luqiu Borong of Weiliang, not Kun, right? At this moment, you are venting your anger on your servants, do you feel a little embarrassed?" inappropriate?"

"How can it be wrong! My Dacheng is now the roost on the east coast of the mainland, and the people of my country can live a prosperous and stable life. If you didn't seduce the desires in everyone's hearts with your demonic words, how could my Dacheng go all the way to where I am today? You really It's a snake, a deceptive poisonous snake!"

Yin Qujian was filled with anger, and the tone of questioning the other party became more and more high-pitched.

But Kunjie still sneered, as if in his eyes, everything was just a game.And the soldiers of Cheng and Ye who fought to the death on the battlefield are just like two groups of ants fighting for food and territory, which is not worth mentioning at all:
"One moment, another moment. Has the lord ever thought that even if there is no war with Ye Kingdom, Nalu Qiu Borong will provoke troubles on the border sooner or later. Guan Ning's army is unparalleled in the world, can you guarantee that I will be able to enjoy peace in Dacheng? Now Regretting leading the army to attack the country of Ye is not only useless, but also meaningless. If I knew that you were such a person who couldn't afford to lose in the next year, I shouldn't assist you, and I shouldn't have the courage to come to you to offer advice today."

"Now that the matter is up to now, what else can you offer! Right now, I have no choice but to fight to the death with that Wei Liang or make peace, there is no other choice!"

"My lord, listen to me. Although Dacheng is temporarily defeated, the vitality of the country of Ye is also seriously injured. Why isn't he worried that Wei Liang will take the opportunity to go west and give him a fatal blow? Now, if he wants to force Luqiu Borong To retreat as soon as possible, it is better to consider allied forces with Ye Kingdom, which will naturally relieve the urgent need of the king."

"I've expected such a ridiculous strategy a long time ago! It seems that you won't let it go until you have exhausted all the remaining soldiers in the Yeliang Plain! You must not forget that this time But I Dacheng invaded the country of Ye first. He, Qi Shouyu, wished he could swallow me alive at this moment, so how could he agree to join forces to fight against the enemy? Moreover, even if they were able to join forces, how could the two sides hold grudges against each other, so how could they enforce orders and prohibit them on the battlefield? place?"

"Kun is willing to go and have a try for the lord." Kun Jie suddenly said seriously, looking confident.

At this time, the angry Yin Qujian had been driven into a desperate situation, and he couldn't think of a better idea at all, and he couldn't even hide his extreme panic and despair in front of the other party.Hearing that Kunjie was willing to take the risk of being killed to go to Ye Kingdom, he agreed without thinking.

In the 12th year of Yuansui, on the ninth day of February, Qi Shouyu, who was still unable to find the whereabouts of Steward Feng, stayed up all night.In the past few days, he has repeatedly guessed who Steward Feng is working for, and why he has been lurking by his side for so long without any flaws.And, where did he take that map?
However, no matter how hard I thought, I still couldn't find a clue.

This made the chunky king feel like sitting on pins and needles.Because he knew very well that if the map left by the ancestors could no longer be retrieved, then everything he had painstakingly worked on over the years would be reduced to nothing.What worries him even more is that if Steward Feng is a spy deliberately placed by his side by Cheng Guo or Wei Liang, then no matter which of the two countries has obtained the secrets of the ancestors, it will be insignificant for him and the entire Ye country. It will all be a disaster.

The reward announcement has been posted for many days.Although people would go to the Quicksand camp every day and claim that they had important clues about Steward Feng, but nine out of ten they were fabricated.Therefore, when he learned that another person dressed as a scholar came to receive the reward and was taken outside the palace gate, hoping to see him, Qi Shouyu angrily refused on the spot:

"How on earth do you slaves work? You brought all the peddlers and hooligans here to meet the widow, do you think that the palace of Ye Kingdom is a place for people to drink tea and chat!"

"I would like to report to the lord, this person—this person claims to be an envoy sent by Cheng Guo, so the lower officials dare not neglect."

The commander of the Liusha Camp who was kneeling under His Highness quickly explained, which made Qi Shouyu's heart sink.He did not expect that Yin Qujian, who was at the end of his battle, would send envoys to negotiate peace at this time.Although the short and fat ruler was not suspicious, he was rather vengeful. He suddenly remembered the embarrassment that made him stretched when the army of Chengguo was pressing down on the border. He immediately restrained his mind and sat back down again. On the throne, he waved his sleeves again, but what he planned in his heart was to take the opportunity to retaliate:

"Xuan!"

The envoy who followed Mo Lingwei into the palace was wearing a wide cloak, so his face could not be seen clearly at all.However, he seemed to be quite familiar with Qi Shouyu, and he didn't salute after entering meditation, but stood at His Highness and said loudly:
"Jinghai Hou, don't you come here unharmed? Oh no, now I should call you Jinghai Duke."

Qi Shouyu vaguely felt that the other party's voice was familiar, but for a moment he couldn't recall who it was.It wasn't until Kunjie took off the cloak covering his head that he suddenly realized and yelled out, and temporarily put the matter of revenge behind him:

"How could it be Mr.? Come on, hurry up and show Mr. a seat!"

The palace servants standing on the left and right looked at each other, but they didn't dare to neglect, and immediately brought a small table and a futon.However, Kunjie didn't sit down, just shook his head lightly and said:

"Master Jinghai didn't hear that Kun was here as an envoy from Cheng to negotiate a peace. Just stand like this."

"This matter must have been misunderstood. If it weren't for the method of casting fire bolts and guns given to me by Mr. back then, I am afraid that you and I can only meet in the prison of Chengguo today. Mr. is my great benefactor of Ye Kingdom, how could it be?" What messenger of peace?"

"Duke Jinghai has a great reputation. Back then, I taught you the casting method of the firebolt blunderbuss, but it was Kun to repay your kindness. Now Kun is indeed here to discuss the peace between the two countries. I hope that Jing Hai can remember the old love. , the fulfillment is below, and the common people of the two countries will also be fulfilled.”

Hearing this, Qi Shouyu finally had a flash of unhappiness in his eyes:
"Why, he, Yin Qujian, is now facing enemies and is trapped in Wanzhou and can't get out, so he thinks of negotiating peace? Back then, when Feiyun Gorge was attacked and Qingyao cavalry aggressively attacked our country of Ye, the widow also sent envoys several times to plead for peace. But it can't be reconciled, why do the widows want to fulfill him today?"

"Jinghai Lord will not know that Wei Liang is now going south in a big way. Although the target is directed at Cheng Guo, the world knows what Luqiu Borong is fighting. Even if he relies on Kun's fire bolt gun, dare to ask Ye Guo at the moment If you want to have a showdown with Wei Liang, what are your chances of winning?"

"At least [-]%." Qi Shouyu was still stubborn.

"Excuse me for Kun's blunt words. In Kun's eyes, Ye Kingdom today is like a leaf of dry grass on the river. Although it can float for a while, it will not be subject to major storms. If we fight Wei Liang again, the odds of winning I’m afraid that even [-]% may not be possible.”

"Sir, what you said is wrong. I, Ye Kingdom, can also be regarded as a side branch of the Baijiang family. Now that I have been attacked first, countless soldiers and civilians have been killed and wounded. The whole country wishes to eat the flesh and blood of the enemy. How can there be no chance of winning!"

"But what if it fails? It is better for the two countries to join forces than to fight alone."

Kunjie stabbed Ye Guogong's sore spot sharply.Although Qi Shouyu didn't know what the other party wanted, his tone was already weak, and his expression became a little hesitant.

"It's a joke! The country's enemies and the family's hatred is in the present. If they announce peace so soon, not only the soldiers of Ye Kingdom will not agree, but the widow will never be able to swallow this bad breath!"

"It's really an act of a warrior, and it's definitely not advisable! If the dignified country of Ye continues to waste its national power just to seek revenge, even if it can seize the [-]% chance of winning as Jinghai Gong said in the future, it will definitely hurt others. Fundamentally. Even if we can find the map that Steward Feng took out of the city, I am afraid that we will never regain our glory, let alone the day when we will make a comeback and seek divine power again."

What Kun Jie said made Qi Shouyu jump up from the throne in shock, and the jade string on the nine-pronged crown on his head also swayed from side to side, colliding with each other with a rattling sound:
"Where did you find out about the map, Mister? Could it be that Butler Feng is really the one he's going to pick up!"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Jinghai. Mr. Kun doesn't care about the origin of that map, and he doesn't know anything about the content on it. Mr. Kun just wants to use this to remind Mr. Jinghai that if peace can be made now, it will be fulfilled." Lord Jinghai himself!"

Qi Shouyu's eyes were fixed on the other party, and he didn't say a word for a long time.At this moment, he already understood in his heart that Feng Steward has most likely become Kunjie's prisoner, and is used as a bargaining chip with him.Although he still couldn't figure out why the other party must promote the two countries to join forces, he knew clearly that that map must never fall into Yin Qujian's hands.

"The widow can promise my husband to temporarily truce with Cheng Guo and join forces to fight against Wei Liang. But there is still one thing that I don't know, and I hope my husband can make it clear."

"What does Lord Jinghai want to ask?"

"Sir, you've spent so much time and energy, wouldn't you just want me to agree to the reconciliation with Chengguo? What exactly do you want from me, from Ye Kingdom?"

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Jinghai. I also know that you never like to owe favors. When the time is right, there will be a chance for you to repay the favor. It's just that it's not now—"

Kun Jie laughed sinisterly, which made Qi Shouyu feel a little scared.

Before he finished speaking, he silently recited a strange incantation that no one could understand.In the blink of an eye, a gust of whirlwind rose into the sky in the hall, blowing so that the chunky king raised his sleeves to cover his face.After the whirlwind passed, there was an extra person in the hall.It was Steward Feng who absconded with the picture and seemed to have disappeared from the world!

"Damn it, where's that picture?!"

Qi Shouyu ran down from the throne angrily, only to see Steward Feng taking out a neatly stacked map from his pocket tremblingly, humming in his mouth, he was already dumbfounded by the poison !

"You haven't disclosed the content on this picture to others, have you?"

Kun Jie stood aside and asked coldly.

Steward Feng seemed to have been scared out of his wits, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and he kept shaking his head to express that he didn't dare.Kun Jie raised his eyes to look at Qi Shouyu, and saw that he was finally relieved, but suddenly he took out a sharp knife from his bosom, and plunged it into Steward Feng's heart, taking his life with his own hands!

Qi Shouyu understood that Steward Feng would never lie in order to ask himself to spare his life.And right now, there is no third person in the entire Ye Kingdom who knows that it is because of the spells he learned from Kunjie that this short and fat prince was able to control the mind of the former ruler Qi Heyin, and finally succeeded in sitting on the throne. The high position of Lord Ye.Now, the other party killed and silenced him with his own hands, which made him owe a huge favor.

Qi Shouyu faintly felt that the power of Mr. Kun in front of him seemed to be more elusive than he imagined.However, he didn't dare to confirm what happened in the temple. He could only watch helplessly as the other party cast a spell, causing the corpse on the ground to disappear in an instant, and it was even more impossible to see the face of the corpse, which was the same as what he had seen before. very different.

Today's Ye Guogong is like a pawn on the Kunjie chessboard, being lured by it step by step, into a huge trap, but unable to extricate himself.
