A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1329

[Chapter 1319 Beijing Envoy]

The Minister of Rites, Mo Wenchui, was really excited these past two days. A while ago, he was depressed and couldn’t sleep because the army rations could not cross the river, but these two days, he couldn’t sleep because of excitement.

He suddenly understood why the emperor held such high regard for Duke Huguo. Before, he just thought that Duke Huguo could not have received the shadow of his ancestors, but now he really understands that although Duke Huguo is young, he has great skills. But really.

A fire in the city destroyed the main force of the Eastern Qi navy, and even brought back Shen Tuluo, the most famous navy general in the world.

Mo Wen Chui couldn’t contain the ecstasy in his heart. He knew that such a memorial service, the great hero of the State Protector would never submit a letter in person. Han Yu was a military general, and he didn’t know how to phrase it. He was none other than himself, so on the day Shentuluo was brought back to Huize City, he immediately made a meticulous memorial, which made people rush to the capital quickly.

In the memorial, it is inevitable to sing praises to Duke Huguo, who not only strategized and planned carefully, but also bravely took the lead, entered the tiger’s den alone, and destroyed the main force of the Eastern Qi navy.

What Qi Ning did this time was unbelievable, and Mo Wenchui inevitably decorated the memorial, which was read abruptly, like a fairy tale.

In Mo Wenchui’s view, in just a few days, Qi Ning not only opened up the food route, destroyed the main force of the navy, but even made Shentu Luo surrender to the Great Chu, which is almost no different from the myth.

The grain stored in the city was quickly transported to the Huai River, and the boats that crossed the river were actually already prepared. The grain team was like an ant, transporting it forward day and night. Report to Dingtao Pegasus.

The Qinhuai Army was overjoyed when they learned that the food had been transported through the Huai River, and Yue Huanshan immediately sent troops and horses to respond.

As the general manager of the granary in Huize City, Mo Wenchui has been working very hard these days. Han Yu is responsible for escorting the food team, and it is also a heavy responsibility.

In addition to the thousands of soldiers and horses who guarded the city to participate in the transportation of food, Mo Wen Chui also recruited a large number of civilians. The distance from Huize City to Huaishui is not far away. It took three days to transport half of the food and grass in the city. When they reached the Huai River, half of them crossed the river.

Although Qi Ning did not personally participate in the transportation of food,

Han Yu took up the responsibility of maintaining order in the city when he left the city. Previously, the curfew and strict governance were imposed in Huize City, which has formed an orderly atmosphere, so Qi Ning returned to the city. You really don’t have to think too much.

As for Qi Ning, he was just waiting for Xuanyuan Po to bring Duan Shao back smoothly.

Shen Tuluo abandoned the ship and landed, and was willing to come to Huize City, in the final analysis because of Duan Shao.

Qi Ning never felt that there was an absolutely perfect plan in this world.

Although the deployment was well planned, whether Xuanyuan Po could be foolproof and An Ran brought Duan Shao back, Qi Ning himself did not dare to make any guarantees, and because of this, even Han Yu and Mo Wenchui did not know that Xuanyuan Po was gone. where.

Shen Tuluo was able to follow him to Huize City, which was smoother than planned, but for Shen Tuluo, it was also a gamble.

When he was not completely sure that Duan Shao would definitely fall into the Chu people, he still followed him. He didn’t care about his own life and family, so he resolutely came to the city to save Duan Shao’s life.

After arriving in Huize City, Shen Tuluo stayed at home in the house he had set up for him. He neither took the initiative to see Qi Ning, nor did Qi Ning take the initiative to see him again.

Both are smart people who know what the other is aiming for.

One is to save Duan Shao’s life, and the other is to use Shentuluo to solve Puyang’s troops. Before Duan Shao arrives, Shentuluo will naturally not have any more transactions with Qi Ning, and Qi Ning knows this, and naturally he will not. Interested in going to talk to Shentu Luo more.

At dusk, Mo Wenchui hurriedly came to see Qi Ning, and when he saw Qi Ning, he immediately smiled and said with a smile: “Guo Gong, something good!”

”

Oh?”

The fleet is upstream from Huangyandu, which is half a day away from Huangyandu, and there is no movement at anchor there.” Mo Wenchui said softly: “They must have been staring at the situation over Huangyandu, just waiting for Huangyandu. Those pretending to cross the river and launch an offensive.”

Qi Ning said with a smile: “It seems that they are very patient. It has been almost four days since Huangyandu has moved, and they are still waiting.”

“The food and grass here. Half of it has been shipped, and in three or four days, the food can be shipped.” Mo Wenchui said: “General Yue Da has sent people to respond…!” He couldn’t help laughing: “Even if That Dongqi navy found that Huang Yandu was deceitful, and if they wanted to rush over here, it would take two days. By the time they arrived, the situation was already over, not to mention the current situation. All the food has been transported across the river, and they may not be able to find it.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, and Mo Wenchui let out a long sigh and said, “This time the prince has made a great achievement, and the emperor is sure to be very happy, I’m afraid it won’t be used. In

a few days, the emperor’s reward will come.”

“A reward?” Qi Ning said, “I am a duke now, how should I give a reward?”

Mo Wenchui was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that above the duke is the Wang Jue, for ministers with different surnames, the duke is already a very high-ranking official. Since the founding of the Great Chu state, there has never been a king with a different surname.

It is not easy for Chu to establish a country, and the requirements for awarding awards are actually very high.

The four hereditary candidates of the empire were all heroes of the founding of the country and had countless merits. Even so, they were all only marquis, with different surnames and princes, and they only started from the township company Ma Lan.

Qi Ning was named Duke Huguo from Jinyi Hou, which was already a mighty Long En. Now that the duke was awarded soon, the emperor would not issue a decree to confer the title of the king.

Although Qi Ning’s Dingxiong, Tonghuai Shui, and Poshui Division are all great contributions, but the merits of several hereditary Hou Dong’s expedition to the west were not under Qi Ning. Not only is it unprecedented, but more importantly, it will inevitably lead to jealousy.

“The Northern Han Dynasty has not been broken. No one knows what the outcome of this battle will be.” Qi Ning said, “If the Northern Expedition is really successful, I would like to ask the emperor to reward ten or eight beauties.

” Hearing this, he laughed immediately, thinking that protecting the prince is young and young, it is human nature to like beautiful women, but you are now a prince, and you can’t get the kind of beauty you want, so there is no need for the emperor to reward you. .

When Qi Ning mentioned the beauty, he just said it casually, but he suddenly thought of the family members in Beijing.

Shortly after the big wedding, even after leaving Beijing, he and his daughter-in-law haven’t had enough warmth. When he thinks of Ximen Zhanying, he naturally thinks of Ximen Wuhen, and he doesn’t know whether Ximen Zhanying already knows that Ximen Wuhen passed away.

The body of Ximen Wuhen was brought back to the capital by Hong Mendao. Naturally, this matter had to be reported to the little emperor, but the news of Ximen Wuhen’s death was of course strictly kept secret by the court.

Now is the time of the Northern Expedition, Ximen Wuhen is the existence of shocking domestic Jianghu forces. If all the Jianghu factions know that Ximen Wuhen passed away, although they will not rebel, but the major sects do not have Ximen Wuhen’s checks and balances, they will inevitably attack each other. Killing to change the pattern of the rivers and lakes again will naturally be greatly detrimental to the great cause of the Northern Expedition of Chu State.

As long as the major sects cannot be sure that Ximen Wuhen passed away, they dare not act rashly.

The imperial court was naturally clear on this point, so it was absolutely impossible to publicize the news of the death of the Lord of God, and it was even more impossible to arbitrarily organize the funeral of Ximen Wuhen.

Qi Ning sighed in his heart that although Ximen Wuhen was famous during his lifetime, he couldn’t even handle the funeral in an upright manner after his death.

There are no leaders in the Shenhou Mansion. Although Ximen Wuhen did not bluntly say that Xuanyuan Po was the successor during his lifetime, Xuanyuan Po was already recognized as the successor of the Shenhou Mansion. The next great achievement, the position of the prince of the gods, must be none other than that.

If Shenhou Mansion had already informed Ximen Zhanying about Ximen Wuhen’s death, it would be fine, otherwise, it would be up to him to explain the matter to Ximen Zhanying in person. When he thought of Ximen Zhanying’s grief after knowing the truth, Qi Ning felt in his heart. Also sad.

He knew that even if he was not in Beijing, Gu Qinghan would take good care of Ximen Zhanying, and Qi Ning would naturally have no doubts about Gu Qinghan’s thoughtfulness.

He and Gu Qinghan are on the verge of separation, since the first time he saw Gu Qinghan, he has made up his mind to come together with her, but he also knows that it is not easy to come together, except that Gu Qinghan himself has many scruples, but now there are more Even though Ximen Zhanying was in it, it was just that in the midst of the war, these sons and daughters couldn’t think too much about their personal relationships.

Seeing that the young master was thinking, Mo Wenchui didn’t dare to disturb him, and quietly retreated.

After another two days, Xuanyuan Po, whom Qi Ning had been looking forward to day and night, never came back. Although he knew that Xuanyuan Po was careful and careful, he was still worried. , even if Shentuluo was dead, he would not have written that letter of persuasion.

Although Xuanyuan Po did not wait for him, he welcomed another old acquaintance.

When Chi Fengdian came to Qi Ning’s residence, the sun was setting and the sun had not yet set. Chi Fengdian in armor appeared in front of Qi Ning, which really surprised Qi Ning.

Chi Fengdian is the commander of the Royal Yulin Camp. Since the reign of the previous emperor, Chi Fengdian has been commanding the Imperial City’s Yulin Camp to guard the palace. After the little emperor ascended the throne, Chi Fengdian stood firm in the Yulin Camp. .

Qi Ning has dealt with Chi Fengdian many times, and knows that this person is quite slick in his speech and demeanor, but in a few severe moments, he is not on the wrong team and is very calm.

Today, Chi Fengdian suddenly came, and Qi Ning was naturally very surprised. When Chi Fengdian saw Qi Ning, he had already rushed forward, cupped his hands and smiled and said, “The humble general Chi Fengdian, UU read www.sonicmtl.com to meet the prince. As he was about to bow down, Qi Ning had already supported him with a smile: “Commander Chi doesn’t need to be too polite, I can’t think of a small meeting with Zecheng, and it’s rare to see Commander Chi today!

” It’s gone.” Chi Fengdian laughed and said, “Even if the Duke of Guo is not in this city, I will be very happy to see the Duke here.” He leaned closer and said in a low voice, “The Duke disappeared in the northwest, Your Majesty. Worrying day and night, a while ago, I sent a secret document from the governor of Wei from Xichuan, and the emperor was relieved when he learned that the prince was going to Huaishui.”

Qi Ning bowed to the upper left and said: “The holy care, the emperor’s kindness is mighty, and the emperor is worried, really. It’s the minister’s big sin!” After inviting Chi Fengdian to take a seat, he asked with a smile, “Commander Chi, the Imperial City in Beijing is guarded by you, how can you come out this time?”
