black belly prince cruel concubine

Chapter 34 The Beginning (2)
Cheng Yimo's hands that turned the pages of the book paused slightly, "But what did you find?" With Baihu's obedient nature to her, it is impossible to change her orders easily, unless there are special circumstances.

Suzaku looked a little solemn, "Baihu's letter didn't make it clear, it only mentioned the assassination of the prince a few years ago, saying that it might be a hoax." If it was really a hoax, then Qi Hai's purpose is clear at a glance, that is, to rush to the military power of Wangchuan.

Cheng Yimo frowned, put down his hands and clasped them in front of him, and after a while of silence, he said quietly, "Has Qinglong returned?"

On the second day after Baihu left for the border town, Cheng Yimo sent Qinglong to Chenlong Village, Qi Hai's hometown, to inquire about news.Judging by the distance, it should be back soon.

Sure enough, before Suzaku could answer, a respectful voice sounded outside the door, "Master."

Suzaku turned around and saw a calm and calm man walking in.The man was wearing a long black gown, and his tired face looked a bit dusty, but it did not conceal his delicate and graceful beauty.Compared with the boy who was huddled in an iron cage and struggling to survive five years ago, today's Qinglong has undergone earth-shaking changes.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he has a tall and slender figure, like a pine mountain like a green bamboo, with a beautiful face, a refined temperament, and a calm demeanor can be seen in his gestures.In the bright pupils, there is a faint display of great wisdom, and he is also a rare talent.

Donggong Qinglong is the master, so its ability is naturally not low.Suzaku suppressed the amazement in his eyes, and was so impressed by his master's unparalleled ability to understand people.He was appointed to be Qinglong at the beginning, and he was indeed right to hold Qinglong Qisu.

Qinglong bowed his hands in salute, and said respectfully, "Master, we have found out that there is indeed a person named Qi Hai in Chenlong Village, but there is some difference between that Qi Hai and Qi Hai who controls the military power. According to the villagers, Qi Hai in Chenlong Village He is an out-and-out farmer, he has never learned high-strength martial arts, and he disappeared four years ago in early autumn."

"In early autumn four years ago..." Suzaku fell into memory, "...it was the time when the prince was attacked."

"From this point of view, Qi Hai does have some problems." Cheng Yimo frowned in deep thought, "Have you found out whether this Qi Hai is an impostor, or was he hiding his clumsiness before?"

Qinglong shook his head, "Never. Although there are obvious differences between the two, we can't find any clues."

Qinglong is extremely intelligent and has a delicate mind. If even he can't find any clues, it can only explain two problems: First, this is the truth, and there is no need to verify it.The second is that someone with a heart has tampered with it to cover up the truth.Apparently Suzaku believed in the latter situation more, if this was the case, then the situation would be serious.

Cheng Yimo narrowed his eyes for a moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he ordered to Qinglong: "Let your Xinyuehu and Suzaku's Zhang Yuelu go to Wangchuan Hongwei's mansion together. They don't use any tricks, they must let Bai Hu's people get close to Qi Hai, it is best to become his confidantes, and secretly take the military power from his hands."

"Yes."

Qinglong Suzaku took orders at the same time.

The white horses pass the gap, and the sun flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was another spring and autumn year. In the 18th year of Qianmin, General Wangchuan Hongwei abolished his lieutenant Zhang Liang, and promoted Bi Yuewu, a guard, to be a third-rank general, commanding [-] iron cavalry.

In the 19th year of Qianmin, General Hongwei abolished his deputy Zhao Fei, and at the same time promoted his confidant Xue Ren as the second-rank deputy general, and appointed Xinyuehu, the steward of the mansion, as a military adviser to manage the affairs of the army with the army.

At the end of the 21st year of Qianmin, the 20 troops of the Shu Kingdom stood out on the border of Wangchuan. The troops of the Shu Kingdom stationed on the border did not make any big moves, but it caused panic among the people in the border towns.

In the 22nd year of Qianmin, the vanguard soldiers of the Shu Kingdom disguised themselves as businessmen and entered the border Rongcheng. Down.The army of the Shu Kingdom had planned for a long time, and they came fiercely. They took down the three cities of Wangchuan in six months.

In the 23rd year of Qianmin, General Hongwei was furious when he heard the battle report, and personally led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, a total of [-] troops, to the border fortress Yumen Pass for support.

Outside the Yumen Pass, the border of the Zhang family.

Countless stone peaks rise from the ground here, and tens of thousands of mountains stretch for thousands of miles.The momentum is majestic, majestic and majestic.In the tortuous valley, there are all kinds of fragrant grasses and beautiful trees. The primeval forest is connected with many surrounding forest farms.People also like to call it the "maze" of nature.

10 horses march forward in mighty form, with the cavalry in front and the infantry behind, tens of thousands of horses meander in the deep valley, which looks like densely packed ants moving from a distance.

Looking at the narrow entrance of the deep valley in front of him, Xue Ren, the vanguard lieutenant general, had a look of strangeness on his face. He took the lead in raising the military flag in his hand, and shouted: "Stop!"

"General!" Xue Ren knelt down on one knee and said in awe, "General, further ahead is the Zhang family's territory."

Qi Hai sat on a tall horse and looked at the Tianxian Canyon as far as the eye could see. It was as if a big knife had split a high mountain into two, forming a natural deep valley.The canyon is deep, the corridors are long, and the cliffs on both sides stand tall. If there are enemies ambush on the cliffs, the [-] soldiers and horses don't have to travel long distances to support them, they can go directly to the underworld to report.

Xinyuehu rode his horse to Qi Hai's side, worriedly doing his duty as a military adviser, "General, this is the best place for the enemy to ambush, just in case, it's better to send spies to check it out first." .”

Qi Hai clapped his hands unrestrainedly and laughed, and raised his voice appreciatively: "The military master is very right. Xue Ren, you take five thousand elites to have a look first."

Xue Ren took the order, raised his hand and took away five thousand guards.

Seeing the figures of five thousand soldiers and horses leaving quietly, Xinyuehu raised her brows lightly, and glanced at Bi Yuewu and Zhang Yuelu not far away.The two nodded in unison, then quietly got away and retreated behind the army.

Xinyuehu sat on the horseback, cupped his hands towards Qi Hai, and said with a refined smile, "General, the soldiers still walked for three days and three nights, can you rest here for a while?"

Qi Hai glanced at the tired soldiers, a flash of expectation or excitement quickly flashed in his eyes, and then he waved his hands and shouted, "All soldiers obey orders, take a rest at the same spot, set off at a quarter of noon, oh no, at three quarters of noon. "

Since ancient times, [-]:[-] noon has been the best time for execution.The original intention is to cut with the knife at three o'clock in the noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, and even if the yin energy dissipates, this heinous criminal should be severely punished by "not even being able to do a ghost".

With a soft and kind face, Xinyuehu complimented, "The general is very kind, and it is a blessing for the general to be sympathetic to the master. The subordinates hereby congratulate the general in advance for the victory." After finishing speaking, he looked at Qi Hai's slightly weird face, Turn around on horseback.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of urinating, Xinyuehu came to the forest not far from the army.When Xinyuehu arrived, he saw Zhang Yuelu and Bi Yuewu already waiting here.
