A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1330

[Chapter 1320 Clear words and secret words]

Chi Fengdian immediately smiled and said: “The Duke has surrendered Shentuluo, the chief commander of the Qi State’s naval army, and the emperor is very happy when he hears the report. This Shentuluo is a famous general of the state of Qi and a pillar of the state of Qi. As long as Shentuluo After surrendering to my Great Qi, the state of Qi will no longer be able to pose any threat to my Great Chu. The emperor issued an decree to send people to escort Shentuluo back to Beijing, and the sage will personally summon Shentuluo and reward him.

“Oh?” Qi Ning knew that Mo Wenchhui had already made a request to the court, and the emperor naturally knew that Shen Tuluo had surrendered, but he didn’t expect the court to send someone over so soon.

However, Chi Fengdian may not be really escorting Chi Fengdian, but to escort Shentuluo to the capital, and then put him under house arrest by the court. The imperial court cannot always be made too solid. Only by placing it under the eyes of the emperor can the little emperor be reassured.

“The emperor’s decree, but to let Shen Tuluo enter the capital immediately?”

Chi Fengdian nodded and said, “Exactly.” He took out a scroll from his arms and presented it to Qi Ning: “Guo Gong, this is the decree of the sage. Take it

lightly!”

Qi Ning took the decree, which was naturally not as formal and solemn as the imperial decree, but it was also stamped with a seal, and above the decree, it was concise and clear, so Chi Fengdian took Shen Tuluo back to the capital.

Qi Ning handed the decree back to Chi Fengdian, and said with a smile, “Since it is the emperor’s will, you should obey it. But…!”

“Is there a problem for the prince?”

“But Commander Chi can’t take him immediately. Back to Beijing.” Qi Ning said, “I’m bothering Commander Chi to wait here for a day or two.”

Chi Fengdian was slightly surprised, but still respectfully asked, “Guo Gong, is Shen Tuluo in this Huize City?”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “It’s in the house next door, and I’ll send someone to protect it.”

“That’s good.” Chi Fengdian thought that something had happened, determined that Shen Tuluo was in the city, and immediately felt at ease, cupped his hands and said: “Although the hand decree ordered to bring Shentuluo back to Beijing immediately when he arrived here, everything still obeys the country. Your

father’s orders.”

Qi Ning smiled: “It’s so good,

it won’t make you wait too long.” Then he smiled: “This is a small border town, not as good as the capital, so I can only hold a simple banquet tonight to catch the wind for Commander Chi. Clean the dust.”

Chi Fengdian hurriedly said, “Your Excellency is very polite. Bie is going to go out of the city, and his brothers did not enter the city, but were stationed outside the city. The Bie general thought that he would be able to take over Shen Tuluo today, so he was preparing for today. Returning to the capital overnight, since the Duke asked us to wait for a day or two, I will leave the city to settle down first.”

“Commander Chi will keep his subordinates outside the city?” Qi Ning was surprised: “Why not bring it into the city?” I thought to myself After all, the Royal Yulin Camp is not an ordinary soldier and horse, and when you come to Huize City, you don’t have to stay outside the city.

Chi Fengdian explained: “The humble general brought three hundred feather forests, which is too large. If they enter the city, they will inevitably disturb the people in the city, so…!”

“Three hundred people?” Qi Ning was even more surprised .

The Royal Yulin Battalion added up to no more than 2,000 soldiers and horses. This time, the commander of Yulin Battalion brought 300 Yulin to escort Shen Tuluo. The number of people was quite large. This also shows that the little emperor attached great importance to Shentuluo.

Chi Fengdian said: “The sage is also to ensure that nothing goes wrong. If the number of people is too small, I am worried that other changes will occur.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and asked, “How has the emperor been doing?”

“The Northern Expedition has made the emperor worry day and night.” Chi Fengdian sighed: “The emperor will summon ministers every day to discuss important matters. Before the disappearance of the prince, the emperor was even more worried. It was not until the memorial of the governor of Xichuan was sent to the palace that the emperor felt at ease. Little. Although there is a lot of grain in Huize City, the emperor is worried that the Northern Expedition will be delayed for a long time, and when there is a lot of logistical supply, there will be a big problem, so he has been asking the Ministry of Household to continue to raise grain, just in case. .” Then he smiled: “And Dongqi navy has been cruising in the Huai River, cutting off the supply of food and grass to the front. For this reason, the saint has always been unable to eat or sleep well. This time, knowing that the prince has opened up the food channel, That’s too much to be happy about.”

Qi Ning knew that during the Northern Expedition, the little emperor would be under great pressure, and it was not easy for the little emperor to survive at such a young age.

He wanted to ask what the Queen’s attitude was after the State of Qi was defeated. After all, she was born in Eastern Qi, and she was also the princess of Eastern Qi. If the State of Chu had conquered the State of Qi, it would inevitably affect the relationship between the emperor and the Queen. Thinking that this was a matter of the palace, although Chi Fengdian guards the imperial city, he may not know much about the internal affairs of the palace, and it is not very appropriate for one of his external ministers to ask Chi Fengdian about this, so he did not ask more.

Chi Fengdian said goodbye and left the city. Not long after he left, someone came to report, “Report, Captain Xuanyuan asks to see you!”

When Qi Ning heard Xuanyuan Po come back, he was overjoyed and greeted him in person, only to see that Xuanyuan Po was already outside the door. Waiting, seeing Qi Ning, he immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands: “Guo Gong, fortunately not to be humiliated!”

Qi Ning heard the words and let out a long sigh.

Whether or not Duan Shao can be brought back smoothly is of great importance. He is also worried about what unexpected changes will occur in the middle. At this moment, knowing that Duan Shao has been brought back as planned, a stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, and said with a smile: “Xuanyuan Colonel this time. You really have made a great contribution!”

Xuanyuan Po has been traveling day and night for the past few days, and he is quite tired, but there is still a look of relief between his eyebrows, and he smiled: “Everything is well planned by the prince.” He added: “Guo Gong, the people have been settled, what should we do next, should we send them to the capital?”

“The emperor has already sent people to escort them.” Qi Ning whispered, “There is one more thing to do before sending them to the capital.” After thinking for a while, he said, “Shen Tuluo has also been brought back by me. Just arrange for them to meet.”

After the sky got dark, the city was quiet.

In addition to a part of the prepared grain and grass in the warehouse, most of the grain has been sent to the front. After the last batch of grain was sent out, the scene of the continuous flow of people in Huize City these days and nights disappeared. The door was closed, the city was still under curfew, and there were no pedestrians on the streets.

Qi Ning has been living in the county government office for the past few days. There is a mansion on the left side of the county government office.

Since Shentu Luo entered the house, he has stayed at home, and meals are delivered every day.

For Shentuluo, his purpose is very clear, that is to save Duan Shao’s life. Before seeing Duan Shao safe and sound, he will naturally not have any negotiation with any Chu people, not even Qi Ning. any interest to communicate with.

In addition to recharging his energy these days, in his spare time, he reads books and wipes his saber.

The knife had already been wiped clean by him, and only when he held the knife in his hand did he feel that he still had the overall situation in control.

There was a knock on the door, Shen Tuluo frowned, retracted the bright big knife in his scabbard, and put it on the table.

The sky was already dark, and the lights were lit

in the house. He didn’t get up, but said indifferently, “Who?”

He stepped forward quickly, and fell to the ground on one knee: “Hall… Your Highness!”

The person who pushed in the door was Duan Shao.

Duan Shao had already changed into a clean shirt, and there was no one else behind him. When he saw Shen Tuluo, he immediately stretched out his hand to help him up. His eyes were already red, and his voice trembled slightly: “Captain… Get up!” Qi Shentuluo, smiled bitterly: “I didn’t expect that we would meet here!”

Shentuluo landed in the city and waited here for many days, just for Duan Shao, seeing Duan Shao safe and sound, his heart settled down, Xiangmen After taking a look outside, no one followed, then he closed the door, raised his hand and said, “His Royal Highness sit first!”

Duan Shao’s eyebrows were full of frustration, he walked to the table and sat down, Shen Tuluo poured a cup of tea and put it on On the table, he sighed: “His Royal Highness is safe and sound, which is great.”

“Captain, let’s be fooled by the people of Chu.” Duan Shao clenched his fists and said, “The lowly ninjas in Dongying have taken refuge in them. The people of Chu country, and…the navy officers and soldiers are rioting, I…!”

“Your Highness, all this is not important.” Shen Tuluo said: “Your Highness is safe, this is the most important thing.

Duan Shao sighed and smiled bitterly: “Now we are all prisoners of the Chu people, it is really a shame!”

”

His Royal Highness, the capital of the country has fallen, and the navy has collapsed. I want to restore the country, but it is already wishful thinking. ”

It’s over.” Shen Tuluo said: “Now that we’re done, we don’t have any thoughts of restoring the country.”

Duan Shao’s face changed suddenly, his eyes showed a cold look, and he said solemnly: “Captain, could it be… .. have you really surrendered to the people of Chu?” Impressively stood up, UU read www.

sonicmtl.com said: “Although Ben Gong was arrested by them and became a prisoner under the order, he is not greedy for life and fear of death. Instead, he is going to see my sister-in-law in the state of Chu and question him face to face, why did he betray his trust?” Staring at Shen Tuluo: “Why did the Governor also come here? Was he captured, or…you surrendered to the people of Chu?”

Shen Tuluo did not change his face, he actually dipped a finger into the tea, and then said: “His Royal Highness, this minister is only for His Highness’s safety. This minister does not care about life and death, but… Your Highness. It is the last bloodline of Da Qi, and it must not be cut off.” While speaking, he had already written the words “The wall has ears” on the table with his fingers dipped in water. Duan Shao was immediately alert, and he couldn’t help but look at the roof. He was quite shrewd, he immediately understood what Shen Tuluo meant, and cooperated: “If the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, what is the meaning of this palace even if it is alive?”

“His Royal Highness, Daqi’s national strength is weak and cannot compete with Chu and Han. On the other hand, it is unavoidable even today.” Shen Tuluo continued to write on the table with water, and continued: “This minister thinks that since it is unavoidable, we should accept it calmly. The minister can negotiate with the people of Chu, At that time, they will not hurt His Highness. If they can contribute some strength to the people of Chu, the people of Chu may be able to give His Highness a great reward, as long as the Duan family’s blood can be passed down, it will be worth paying some price.” Write the word “Mo Ying” on the table with your hands.
