When Chu Huan captured Xiguguan, the Northwest Army's logistics and grain team had not yet arrived in Jiazhou. ,

Duke Du Fu received Chu Huan's order, and immediately began to organize a convoy with Lin Lang to deliver food and grass to the front line. Although the three armies did not move the food and grass first, this time they launched a surprise attack on Xiguguan, so the cavalry corps set off early, and the logistics food team although Speed ​​up, but also two days late.

The food team was like a long dragon, and under the escort of [-] infantry, they stepped up to the front line.

It was Lu Cunxiao who was leading the infantry team, who was co-acting with Xuanyuan Shengcai in a big scene. Xuanyuan Shengcai's knife naturally couldn't have taken Lu Cunxiao's life, but only caused Lu Cunxiao to suffer some minor injuries.

The wound has been treated, although it has not healed yet, it does not affect Lu Cunxiao's actions.

Three thousand soldiers and horses guarded the head, tail and two wings of the grain team. The northwest cavalry, led by Chu Huan himself, had taken the Xigu Pass as the vanguard, and Pei Ji urgently assembled the northwest infantry. With a large number of soldiers and horses, nearly [-] troops were organized in the shortest time to urgently assist the frontline cavalry.

Lu Cunxiao's [-] soldiers and horses were left behind, specially used to protect the logistics team.

As the sun set, Jiazhou City appeared in front of him. Lu Cunxiao turned his horse's head and galloped to a carriage in the middle of the team. Without dismounting, he clasped his hands on the horse and said, "Your Majesty, we are almost at Jiazhou City!"

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Qi Wang Yingren's face appeared behind the window. He looked a little tired, but he still asked, "Is there any news from Chu Huan?"

"Reporting to the prince, there is no news at the moment." Lu Cunxiao said: "However, the general has led the main force of the infantry to the front line. If there is no accident, there will be news soon."

King Qi nodded slightly, and said: "Are we going to enter the city? The frontline soldiers are fighting bloody battles, and there is no shortage of food and grass. Let's hurry up and catch up...!"

Lu Cunxiao was very calm, and said: "Your Majesty, the team has driven several roads in a row. We are short of people and horses, and there is a shortage of drinking water. After we arrive at Jiazhou City, we can let the team rest outside the city first, and then send people into the city to replenish drinking water. We have to set off , have to wait until tomorrow morning."

"Oh?" King Qi hesitated for a moment, finally nodded and said: "In this case, everything will be according to what the general said, and I will order you to rest outside the city for a night and replenish drinking water. We will set off immediately tomorrow morning...!"

Lu Cunxiao shook his head and said, "My lord, after you enter the city, you don't need to move forward...!"

"What do you mean?" King Qi frowned.

Lu Cunxiao said: "The general has an order. After the prince arrives in Jiazhou City, the prince will sit in Jiazhou. The last general will lead the grain team to continue forward... The general means that the front line is full of flames, and the prince's body is full of gold. It's better to stay in Koshu."

King Qi's face suddenly became angry, and he said sharply: "Lu Cunxiao, I didn't come out this time to sit in Jiazhou. After taking Xiguguan, I will lead an army to attack the pass and eradicate the traitors... !"

"My lord...!" A soft voice came from King Qi's side, but it was Mo Lingshuang, who was by King Qi's side, softly persuading: "General Lu is also following the general's wishes, you... ...!"

"General? Pei Ji?" King Qi sneered and said, "He's just one of Chu Huan's generals. When will it be his turn to ask about this king's itinerary? Lu Cunxiao, if this king insists on leaving tomorrow, what are you going to do?"

"My lord misunderstood." Lu Cunxiao looked solemn, "The general also obeyed the order of the Governor of Chu, and they all think about the safety of the lord...!"

"For my king's safety?" King Qi said angrily, "Since that's the case, Shuoquan is the safest place. Why did this king leave Shuoquan, and Pei Ji didn't object?"

Lu Cunxiao cupped his hands and said: "My lord, when the general left, he told the general to escort the lord to Jiazhou City and meet someone in person."

"Meet someone?" King Qi was startled, then sneered and said, "You mean, this king walked from Shuoquan for several days, but it was because he wanted to go to Jiazhou City to meet someone?"

Lu Cunxiao nodded, and King Qi even smiled and said, "When someone wants to see me, I need me to come to the door in person. Lu Cunxiao, who do you want to bring me to see?"

"My lord, although it is the general's order, it is all arranged by the governor of Chu." Lu Cunxiao was calm and respectful, "When you arrive at Jiazhou City, your lord will know."

King Qi wanted to say more, but Ling Shuang had already tugged at his sleeve lightly, King Qi barely held back, Lu Cunxiao cupped his hands, and turned his horse's head away, King Qi put down the curtains a little annoyed.

"Ling Shuang, have you seen it all?" King Qi sneered and said, "Lu Cunxiao was just a bandit in the past, and was recruited by the government, but now he is so unruly in front of this king?"

Ling Shuang frowned slightly, but said softly: "My lord, since it was Brother Chu's arrangement, you...!"

"Brother Chu?" King Qi snorted coldly, "Attacking Xiguguan, I realized that I didn't even discuss it with the king. I didn't ask Pei Ji to notify the king until the food and grass were mobilized...!" There was dissatisfaction in his eyes. He said softly, "Ling Shuang, tell me, is there still me in Chu Huan's eyes?"

Ling Shuang's eyes showed a look of embarrassment, and finally said softly: "My lord, Chu... Maybe Mr. Chu did this to prevent the lord from worrying too much...!"

"You don't have to speak for him anymore." Qi Wang said lightly: "After Lu Haosheng was put in prison by him, he became more and more shameless... I used to believe what Lu Haosheng said, but now It seems that what Lu Changshi said was exactly as expected...!"

"My lord...!"

"Take me as his puppet." King Qi lowered his voice and said, "I always thought he was a utterly loyal person, but now it seems that's not the case... Back then he was just a small official in Yunshan Mansion, If there is no king, how can he have what he is today? It seems that he has forgotten all of this...!"

Ling Shuang's eyes showed distress, and he stared at King Qi. King Qi turned his head and saw the worried expression on Ling Shuang's face, and smiled lightly: "What? I said something wrong? These are all things in my heart. If you tell Chu Huan, it doesn't matter...!"

Ling Shuang's eyes turned red, she lowered her head and said nothing, but tears were already welling up in her eyes.

King Qi knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly reached out and grabbed Ling Shuang's arm, and said softly: "Ling Shuang, you...don't be angry, I...I'm talking nonsense... .It’s just bored in my heart, so I’m just talking casually, otherwise it’s really uncomfortable in my heart. You know, there is no one else around me, only you can trust, I don’t say these things to you, I... hey, I can To whom? Don't blame me, I... I just don't say such nonsense in the future."

Ling Shuang raised her head, with tears in her eyes, she was beautiful and pleasant, and said softly: "My lord, I know you are unhappy, but...but Ling Shuang only wants you to be safe and sound. Master Chu is not a bad person, and he treats you well. You have absolutely no bad intentions, my lord, as long as my lord treats him well, Ling Shuang believes that Master Chu will also treat him well...!"

King Qi smiled wryly, and said, "What's the best way? Ling Shuang, don't forget that I am the prince of Daqin, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains belong to the kingdom of Qin. This is the end." Sighing, the voice was lower: "Chu Huan promised me to help me fight back to the capital, but...but what he is doing now makes me very disappointed. I have always trusted him , and even traveled all the way from the capital to the northwest, I just thought that he would not disappoint me and his friendship, would become my arm, and help me revive the empire...!"

"My lord, sometimes Master Chu can't help himself." Ling Shuang said quietly: "In fact, he has always respected the lord, but...!" With a wry smile, he said: "My lord, Ling Shuang is just a little girl. Girl, I don't understand big things. In fact... Actually, I think it may not be a good thing for the prince to live a peaceful and peaceful life, and... why bother to fight with others...! "

King Qi was startled, then frowned, finally shook his head, and didn't say much.

When the sun set, the team had already arrived outside the city of Jiazhou. Lu Cunxiao personally commanded the team to set up a tent outside the city, buried pots to make food, and rested in place. After everything was ready, he led two hundred soldiers to escort King Qi's carriage into the city. , By the way, led the soldiers into the city to replenish drinking water.

The team escorted King Qi's carriage. After entering the city, they went straight to the Zhizhou Mansion. When Qi Wang got off the car, he found that the Zhizhou Mansion was heavily guarded. People, right here?"

"Exactly." Lu Cunxiao cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please come in!"

King Qi frowned slightly, hesitated for a while, but finally didn't say much, and stepped forward, Ling Shuang followed beside him, and the personal eunuch Sun Desheng had also followed at this time, and they entered the Zhizhou Mansion together.

The mansion was very quiet, with the lights on, as soon as he entered the door, a servant girl had already stepped forward, saluted, and she already knew the identity of King Qi, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please come with your slaves!"

King Qi was full of doubts, he glanced at Mo Lingshuang beside him, Ling Shuang also looked around, his pretty face was full of doubts.

Although King Qi has no real power in the northwest, he has a prominent position after all. The prince of the empire, even Chu Huan, respects him three-pointedly when he sees it. Looking at the northwest, it is really rare for King Qi to come to meet him in person. Although Ling Shuang Intelligent, but it is difficult to understand who has such a big face.

The servant girl led King Qi through the courtyard and turned to the side hall of Zhizhou Mansion. King Qi saw that the fire in the side hall was bright and lit. !” Without saying a word, he retreated directly.

King Qi walked over slowly and walked to the door of the side hall. The hall door was open and the room was brightly lit. He took a step inside and looked around. The decoration inside the room was very simple but very clean. He had already caught a glimpse of a figure sitting On a chair not far away, facing the door of the hall, there is actually a book in his hand. He is dressed in silver and is wearing a bun. There is an oil lamp on the table beside him. Under the light, The skin is like snow, the crow temples are shiny, the temperament is elegant, and the tranquility is abnormal.

King Qi sized his eyes, his face changed drastically, and he lost his voice: "Mother...mother queen!"

The person who reads the book under the lamp is the queen.
