Chapter 50 Guard
When Chu Qing returned to the mansion, he was still thinking about Yu Yimeng's words and deeds, but after thinking about it, Chu Qing only felt that Yu Yimeng's behavior was quite strange, illogical, and unable to see the motive. The front is very normal, Chu Qing even suspects which madhouse he came from.
After seeing Qin Wuzhou, the first thing Chu Qing did was to relay Yu Yimeng's behavior to Qin Wuzhou. After all, Qin Wuzhou was reborn in his first life, and he may even have dealt with Yu Yimeng in his previous life.
Qin Wuzhou patiently listened to Chu Qing's report to Yu Yimeng. As soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, Qin Wuzhou replied: "His real name is Ling Yanqing."
Chu Qing was not particularly surprised when he heard Qin Wuzhou's answer. He was quite skeptical before. Except for Qin Wuzhou and himself, the other plots in this world are completely consistent with those in the original book, so the traveler is very likely to be the protagonist in the original book. .
At this time, Xiao Changsheng's flying pigeon stayed on Chu Qing's shoulder, Qin Wuzhou didn't blink his eyes, and a snow-white pigeon was parked on the shoulder of the gentle and cold young man. This scene was so picturesque that it was beyond words.
Chu Qing unfolded the secret letter, glanced at it, raised his eyes and said to Qin Wuzhou, "Ling Yanqing has left Jianyang City."
Qin Wuzhou's mood is still stable, now is indeed not the time for them to settle their grievances, but in the future he will definitely kill Ling Yanqing.
There was a chaotic knock on the door, Chu Qing frowned, and Qin Wuzhou returned to the ear room knowingly.
At the gate, Xiao Changsheng was out of breath, Chu Qing was a little confused, what was it that made Xiao Changsheng go straight to his mansion without even using the pigeons?
"Something has happened, Fourth Prince," Xiao Changsheng said with a stern face, "Qin State defeated Chu State on the front line. General Jin was originally a general stationed on the frontier and was the commander-in-chief, but the King of Chu insisted on changing generals temporarily for some reason. Not only was Chu defeated miserably, [-] captured prisoners were even killed, and General Jin is nowhere to be found.”
"And it's quite strange that the news spread very fast this time. As long as the king of Chu heard the news, the anger of everyone in Jianyang City, including the king of Chu, would be directed towards the only person in the city, Qin Guo. Proton Qin Wuzhou."
After Xiao Changsheng brought the news, he took a breath and went straight back to the National Teacher's Mansion.
Chu Qing quickly recalled the original book. According to the original book, the failure of this battle would take at least half a month, and the result was not so tragic. It would take at least five days for the news to come back. In the original book, after the King of Chu heard the news, Furious, he ordered the second prince to reward Qin Wuzhou with two hundred lashes.
The whip used for execution has iron spikes. In the original book, Qin Wuzhou narrowly escaped death after being tortured. The Prime Minister of Qin State Lu Xun sent someone to use the extremely rare life-sustaining medicine to pull Qin Wuzhou back from the dying situation.
Chu Qing guessed that Ling Yanqing was most likely responsible for advancing the plot, but now that the situation is urgent, it is impossible to verify the facts.
In this life, due to his intervention, the plot is completely different from the original novel. The person sent by Prime Minister Lu Xun to discuss cooperation with Qin Wuzhou was already in He County and was killed by Qin Wuzhou. Even after that, Lu Xun sent other negotiators. , I am afraid that they will not be equipped with life-saving pills at any time. After all, the current situation of Qin Wuzhou is completely different from the state of being abused by the four princes for a long time in the original book.
Chu Qing was quite calm at the moment, he said to Guanshi Peng beside him, "Get the carriage ready, I'm going to the second prince's residence."
"Take care of Qin Wuzhou," Chu Qing said to An Liu, "Don't allow him to leave the house for half a step, no, shut him up in the woodshed."
"Yes." Dark Six replied.
It is useless to go to the palace now, I am afraid that King Chu's order has already been issued to the second prince's mansion.
Chu Qing got into the carriage, he thought, because of his arrival, the emperor who should have been glorious and famous in history must not die young, not to mention that he inherited the body of the original owner, the fourth prince of Chu, who wantonly humiliated and abused Qin Wuzhou in his previous life .
In this life, he decided on his own, took the body of the original owner, and protected Qin Wuzhou from some disasters, which can be regarded as reconciliation of grievances and grudges.
In the ear room, Qin Qi's expression was quite dignified. He said to Qin Wuzhou: "Master, Lu Xun, the prime minister of Qin, is already in the Su'an Building in Jianyang City, and invites the master to go."
"This old man." Qin Wuzhou's voice was low and his eyes hinted at hatred.
-
When Guanshi Peng went to prepare the carriage, Chu Qing suddenly stopped Guanshi Peng.
"Guan Peng, call the doctor and bring a new set of clothes." Chu Qing said with a cold expression, eyes downcast.
"Yes." Although Guanshi Peng was puzzled, there must be a reason for the fourth prince's will, so Guanshi Peng quickly went to prepare.
Chu Qing inexplicably remembered Ling Yanqing's eyes looking at the sky when he was in the palace of the King of Chu. What he looked at was not the sky, like a prisoner yearning for freedom, looking out to the vast world, this yearning even reached the point of being sick. degree.
If Ling Yanqing was just an ordinary person with a system in hand, Chu Qing didn't think he would be the opponent of the reborn Qin Wuzhou, but now his strange behavior is quite abnormal.
Chu Qing didn't know how he managed to influence the frontline battle between Chu State and Qin State, nor how he caused the news of Chu State's defeat to spread back to Chu State so quickly, but this matter made Chu Qing feel very sorry for Ling Yanqing. fear.
In the original book, the state of Chu was just a disastrous defeat, and [-] soldiers were never killed, and General Jin quickly recovered the situation.
With Ling Yanqing's intervention, not only was Chu State defeated miserably, [-] soldiers were even killed, and even General Jin was missing.
Chu Qing got into the carriage. On the carriage, he imagined that if Qin Wuzhou was placed in Ling Yanqing's position, even if facing the enemy country, Qin Wuzhou would not commit the brutal act of killing [-] soldiers.
In his previous life, he was most criticized for his harsh punishment and moody personality. To his enemies, Qin Wuzhou's methods were quite ruthless. Offended many established families.
At the same time, the policy of benefiting the common people made the landlords and the privileged class hate Qin Wuzhou deeply. Over time, Qin Wuzhou's reputation as a tyrant spread.
In stark contrast to him is Ling Yanqing. Although there is no detailed description in the original book, in order to be able to fight against Qin Wuzhou, he crazily wins over the privileged class and promises them generous revenge. It is clear that he can imagine that his final success is in the bottom class. On top of her blood and tears, she reached the supremacy step by step.
Ling Yanqing didn't care about people's life or death at all. When a person has the ability to change the world but has no humanity and no scruples, it is impossible to defeat him by conventional methods.
The carriage drove very fast along the way, the second prince's mansion had arrived, Chu Qing got off the carriage.
However, before Chu Qing stepped into the second prince's mansion, the chief supervisor came with King Chu's edict.
The second prince, Chu Yu, was about to receive the order, and when he saw Chu Qing, he was still somewhat surprised.
From this point of view, the second prince was not even considered as Ling Yanqing's pawn, Chu Qing and the second prince saluted together, waiting for the edict to be read out by the superintendent.
The superintendent's expression was quite serious, and he said to the second prince: "The king of Chu has an order to reward Qin's hostage with two hundred lashes and execute him immediately."
After reading the king's will, the supervisor turned to Chu Qing and said, "The king ordered me to bring a word to the fourth prince."
Chu Qing's eyes froze, he took a step forward, the supervisor turned sideways, and said to Chu Qing: "The king of Chu said that he has shown mercy to the Qin Guozi's subordinates. If you forcefully stop him, be careful not to cause trouble."
After the supervisor finished speaking, he handed the King Chu's edict and the instruments of torture to the second prince, then turned and left.
Consistent with the description in the original book, there are iron spikes on the whip, let alone two hundred whips, ordinary people will be whipped to death after receiving a hundred whips.
The second prince, Chu Yu, held the imperial edict of the King of Chu in his hand, and smiled triumphantly. He deliberately placed the edict in front of Chu Qing, shook it, and continued, "Fourth younger brother never bothers to come to elder brother's mansion, why are you in such a hurry today?" come over?"
Chu Qing was quite calm. If he stayed in the mansion and waited for the second prince to come to his mansion with the imperial edict, it would be too late.
The second prince, Chu Yu, was not at all in a hurry to go to Chu Qing's mansion to execute that foreign proton. He looked at Chu Qing leisurely, expecting that this younger brother, who always looked calm, would panic and show him Have fun.
But Chu Yu looked at it for a long time, but Chu Qing's eyes became colder and colder, and there was no sign of panic or pleading at all, which made him think of disappointing.
"My brother is really boring." The second prince Chu Yu made a gesture to go to Chu Qing's mansion to fulfill King Chu's will.
Chu Qing stretched out her hand and stopped Chu Yu.
"Hold on."
"Yo," Chu Yu looked sideways and laughed jokingly, "Regret? Do you feel sorry for your little lover?"
"This is two hundred lashes. Da Chu's lash punishment is not ordinary. Ordinary people can only have a hundred lashes at most, and they will be flogged to death. I am a little bit looking forward to it. When your little lover is flogged to death in front of you, can you still do it?" Hold it like this." Chu Yu raised an eyebrow at Chu Qing, and picked up the torture tool from the tray held by the attendant.
Chu Qing smiled indifferently, took out a letter from his sleeve, and said to Chu Yu: "Some people don't know that disaster is imminent, but they are still complacent."
Chu Yu didn't care about Chu Qing's words. From what he heard, it was just that Chu Qing was pretending to be mysterious in order to delay the time. He took the letter that Chu Qing handed him and handed it to the attendant.
"Don't try to play tricks with me. I'll see after I finish the execution." Chu Yu flicked the whip, and whipped it towards the old tree beside him. Some exclaimed.
"You really want to protect your little lover, it's not impossible." Chu Yu looked at Chu Qing with jealousy and hatred in his eyes, "How has your master suffered on his behalf?"
"Second Prince, this is an errand entrusted to you by the King of Chu..." The stewards around Chu Yu tried to stop his crazy behavior.
Chu Yu widened his eyes, looked at the steward, and shouted: "Get out, you, a slave, have no place to talk here. If you interrupt again, I will reward you with two hundred lashes first."
The second prince's steward shut his mouth in fear, and he never dared to persuade the second prince.
"According to the rules of Great Chu, if the master and the son are punished on behalf of the slave, [-]% can be exempted, just twenty lashes. It seems like a good deal in exchange for your little lover's life?" Seeing that Chu Qing didn't reply, Chu Yu continued to add.
Chu Yu just wanted to uncover Chu Qing's hypocritical mask. He frantically wanted to prove to everyone that the fourth prince in front of him was just a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. do that.
He wanted to return this shame to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing smiled and said, "That's what you said."
-
In the lively restaurant, Qin Wuzhou hurried to the appointed place, but did not see Lu Xun directly. Yun Yan sat at the table, heard Qin Wuzhou's footsteps, and stood up with a serious expression. He said to Qin Wuzhou: "Six Prince, please follow me."
Based on Qin Wuzhou's understanding of Lu Xun, this person has no benefits, and what kind of benefits can make him temporarily put aside everything in Qin State and come to see him in Chu State.
Seeing Qin Wuzhou's ugly face, Yun Yan said softly, "Lord Lu has nothing to do. You have lived in Chu State for a long time, and you don't know the situation of Qin State's struggle for the heir apparent. Now, except for the twelve princes who are only three years old, the other princes are either Confinement, or death."
"Let's go."
Qin Wuzhou frowned. In the previous life, the struggle for the heir apparent in Qin State did not come to an end so quickly. In the current situation, Lu Xun has no choice. Even Qin State can only count on himself, the proton in Chu State.
Although this matter has only advantages and no disadvantages for him, Qin Wuzhou has no sense of joy at all.
Yun Yan only turned around and walked for a long time before he brought Qin Wuzhou to the place where Lu Xun was. Lu Xun regretted his life. He was in a remote mansion. Patrol secretly.
The door opened slowly, and an elegant middle-aged man sat on a stone bench inside the door, holding a chess piece in his hand, saw Qin Wuzhou beside Yun Yancai, smiled, and said, "Sixth Prince, please come in. "
Qin Wuzhou glanced at Lu Xun. This person was the same as his previous life, arrogant and greedy.
Yun Yancai and Qin Wuzhou stepped into the mansion together. As soon as they entered, the door behind them was closed by the hidden guards.
Lu Xun stood up slowly, Yun Yan followed behind Lu Xun, and then Lu Xun and everyone in the mansion saluted Qin Wuzhou seriously.
"Chen Lu Xun, I have met the sixth prince."
……
Just now when Yun Yan said that there was only a three-year-old Twelfth Prince left in Qin, Qin Wuzhou expected that the officials in Qin would be worried, but he did not expect that Lu Xun would choose him so quickly due to the situation. The people who come are pretty freewheeling.
"Lu Xiang, please get up." Qin Wuzhou's voice was low and cold.
"Thank you Sixth Prince." Lu Xun got up and said, "Sixth Prince, please take a seat."
Qin Wuzhou and Lu Xun sat on the open-air stone bench.
Lu Xun opened his mouth to explain: "I should have told you just now that there is only one prince left in Qin Kingdom who is only three years old. The next King of Qin."
"But you have to show your merits." When Lu Xun looked at Qin Wuzhou, there was a little imperceptible disdain in his eyes, "Otherwise, I am afraid that the officials would rather choose your twelfth younger brother."
Qin Wuzhou asked back: "Why don't you choose the twelve younger brother who is only three years old?"
Without waiting for Lu Xun to answer, Qin Wuzhou asked himself and answered, "Oh, the mother's family of the twelfth brother is the Zhu family. If the twelfth brother is in the position, it will be impossible to maintain the balance."
Lu Xun's face was a little ugly. Qin Wuzhou's implication was that he chose Qin Wuzhou just to find a puppet. Although his purpose was true, but Qin Wuzhou insinuated it, which made him feel very embarrassed.
But Qin Wuzhou didn't say it clearly, so Lu Xun could only say "hehe" aggrieved.
"The fourth prince is right." Lu Xun quickly adjusted his expression and continued, "We have received reliable news that the king of Chu is dying, Chu's internal affairs are in a mess, and Qin's reform is successful. Bi, if you become the crown prince, or even become the king of Qin, it will be a matter of course."
Although Qin Wuzhou knew that what Lu Xun said about making a fortune in Chu State meant directly sending troops to attack Chu State, but he was not excited. Based on his understanding of Chu Qing, Chu Qing didn't care about Chu State. It is far broader than the ministers and princes who are sticky and fussy.
He cares more about people in a broad sense, and he cares about whether everyone can get better and better, just like what he did in He County.
The state of Chu is already rotten, and the lifespan of Great Chu is over. Qin Wuzhou estimates that when the current king of Chu collapses, the state of Chu will also perish.
After thinking for a long time, Qin Wuzhou said to Lu Xun: "Yes, but I can't go with you now, give me a few more days."
Lu Xun nodded indifferently, and said to Qin Wuzhou, "A wise choice."
-
The second prince Chu Yu's face became more and more distorted, and he asked incredulously, "What did you say?"
Chu Qing took a step forward, she was obviously cold and thin, but calm and magnanimous, making the second prince hardly dare to look directly at her.
"I said, I agree to the conditions you proposed." Chu Qing smiled and said, "Come on, let's do it."
