Chapter 21
The war between Xirong and Donghua was in full swing. After each trial, Yang Yu won a small-scale victory. After receiving the battle report, the people of Donghua celebrated and were proud of their general.
Not only that, but even the long-sick emperor improved a lot because of this. After a victory in a battle, he issued an imperial decree to the border, and named Yang Yu the king of a different surname.
The victory of the war was reported frequently, but the emperor's physical condition was deteriorating. Everyone knew that the emperor would not live long, and the internal struggle became more and more fierce.
Zhou Jin has been very busy these days, but this time he will take time to accompany Qi Qing no matter what. As for the reason why he wants to see Qi Qing, it is one aspect. The most important thing is that Qi Qing has helped him a lot, so let’s not talk about it Qi Qing sent him news related to Zhou Yan. Qi Qing's analysis of the situation and Zhou Yan's movements has almost reached the point of accurate prediction, and he can get what he wants from Qi Qing every time.
"Why is Your Highness so sad today?" Qi Qing poured tea for Zhou Jin, feeling the low pressure on him.
Zhou Jin was not in the mood to drink tea, looked at Qi Qing and asked, "Qi Qing, do you know where I am most inferior to Zhou Yan?"
With a thud in his heart, Qi Qing almost couldn't hold the teapot, is he finally going to make a move?With a steady mind, Qi Qing calmly said, "Military power!"
Zhou Jin told him this in his last life. In terms of ability and ambition to rule the country, Zhou Jin did not lose to Zhou Yan at all. There was only one point - he was not as powerful as Zhou Yan in military power. Yang Yu's family had long been with Zhou Yan They are inseparable, if you want Yang Yu and the others to be loyal to Zhou Jin, it will be very difficult to achieve.
That's why in the last life, Zhou Jin would attack Yang Yu and completely defeat the Yang family, so that he could defeat Zhou Yan and be his emperor safely. In this life, Zhou Jin should repeat his old plan. Jin didn't have time to digest slowly, the quickest and easiest way was to let Yang Yu die.
Satisfied with Qi Qing's answer, Zhou Jin smiled and said, "Sure enough, no one knows me better than Qi Qing and you. You are right. Military power is the only thing Zhou Yan can do better than me, so..."
"So Your Highness plans to attack the Yang family?" Qi Qing took his words.
"Yes, I have already placed people beside Yang Yu. Yang Yu will definitely die on the battlefield this time. Yang Yu's death is nothing to worry about the rest of the Yang family." Zhou Jin had a strategizing expression on his face. Has been planning for a long time.
Sure enough, it was still the case, Qi Qing was silent for a while before saying, "Does Your Highness really have to kill Yang Yu?"
There was reluctance in those deep eyes, and Zhou Jin looked very dazzling. He knew that Qi Qing and Yang Yu had a very good relationship, and even often he was a little jealous of Qi Qing's kindness to Yang Yu, but Qi Qing treated Yang Yu well. He has a good sense of proportion, and his position is very clear, but now that his enemy Qi Qing actually wants to ask for mercy, this is absolutely unacceptable to him.
His tone turned cold in an instant, and Zhou Jin stared straight at Qi Qing, "Qi Qing, do you know what you're talking about? Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Yang Yu is our enemy, and you actually want me to let him go?" past him?"
Yang Yu is a big obstacle for Zhou Jin, but for him he is a friend and confidant. He can't watch Yang Yu being killed, so he must stop it. Suddenly, a bold decision comes to you, "Your Highness, if I If there is a way for you to get rid of the second prince, can you let Yang Yu go?"
After all, he still can't let go of Yang Yu, is Yang Yu that important to him?Zhou Jin was furious, "Qi Qing, don't be too self-righteous."
Is this warning him?Qi Qing was sad in his heart, but his face was still calm, "Your Highness, don't worry, I know what I'm doing, but Yang Yu is a rare talent. It is because of him that our country can be so powerful that our country can be so powerful. If you kill him, your Highness will lose money." A single talent will also give neighboring countries an opportunity to take advantage of, the gain outweighs the loss!"
Zhou Jin reluctantly accepted such an explanation, "I can't see that you are still such a person who loves talents." Zhou Jin shot at Qi Qing with icy eyes, "But I don't know if you cherish talents for Yang Yu or for me?"
"Of course it's for His Highness!" Qi Qing answered unequivocally.
Hearty laughter wafted through the room, Zhou Jin pulled him into her arms, "Qi Qing, I did not misunderstand you, you never let me down."
is that so?Then if I let you down, will you kill me before you get rid of Yang Yu?Qi Qing's drooping eyes were full of sadness.
"Your Highness, what kind of existence is Qi Qing to you?" Qi Qing asked suddenly.
Startled for a moment, Zhou Jin thought for a while and said, "Naturally, you are my right-hand man and the person I trust the most. Don't worry, Qi Qing, I'm not the kind of cunning person, I will definitely treat you well." of."
"How do you want to treat me well?" Qi Qing thought and asked in the same way.
"What do you want?" Zhou Jin gently kissed his neck with a gentle voice, "Money, power, or a high salary? As long as you want me, I will never refuse."
Qi Qing closed his eyes and tried hard to control his emotions. Did he want those external things?Zhou Jin, do you understand me at all? "Why do you think I'm by your side, Your Highness?"
Do you still need to ask this question? Zhou Jin answered without hesitation, "Of course you are loyal. I told Qi Qing that I believe in your absolute loyalty. I will definitely not treat you badly!"
The last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered, Qi Qing completely gave up, Zhou Jin didn't even know why he wanted to be by his side, thinking that what he wanted were those worldly things, it was really too funny.
Qi Qing, the one you love is a person who doesn't know how to love, what more do you want?Forget it, that's all, it should be over.
