The news that Duanmu Chen canceled the reward order spread quickly. New𝟔𝟗Book Bar𝟨𝟫𝓈𝒽𝓊𝓍.𝒸𝑜𝓂

After Qiu Cong, who was in Xuanbei City, learned about it, he couldn't understand, Situ Xie didn't cancel the reward order for you, why did we cancel the reward order for his grandson first?

Qiu Jing thought for a while and said, There must be something happening that we don't know about.

Qiu Cong frowned, What could it be?

For example... Qiu Jing thought thoughtfully, Situ Xie caught someone and threatened Su Liang and Gu Ling.

What about yours? I'm not afraid, but I'm tired of worrying about it every day! Qiu Cong frowned.

Qiu Jing shook his head slightly, Grandpa, don't worry. I think that when the news reaches Liang Kingdom, Situ Xie will probably cancel the reward order for me, but it may be a little later. Otherwise, it will be endless. I may not die. But his precious grandson is more likely to be caught or killed.

Qiu Cong hummed, It's best this way!

And there were a few more heads on the trees in the yard outside the window.

There was something exciting that day. Letters and things came from the capital. But these were before Duanmu Chen canceled the reward order, so he didn't say anything about it.

Su Liang's letter only told them to be careful.

Cen Man wrote a letter to Qiu Cong. It talked about trivial things at home. What interesting weapons did Lao Mu and Gu Ling make? They caught a fat fish and Nangong Qian learned a few new tricks. vegetable.

In addition to the winter clothes and cold-repelling medicine prepared by Su Liang for them, there were also two cloaks made by Nangong Qian herself for Qiu Cong and Qiu Jing. It could be seen that the stitching was not very fine, but Qiu Cong was so happy that he put it on immediately.

Qiu Jing also tried it and thought it was okay. Nangong Qian's female celebrity needs to be improved. If she is interested in it, it doesn't matter if she doesn't like it or not.

Although the clothes Su Liang prepared were of the highest quality from the Yan family embroidery shop, the ones made by Nangong Qian made them even more happy. It's not about the cloak itself. They are very pleased with Nangong Qian's current physical and mental condition and living conditions.

Qiu Cong looked around, always feeling that something was missing.

After a while, he patted his forehead and said, Why is it that no one has said whether Xiao Liang is carrying a son or a daughter? Shouldn't you tell us such an important thing?

This is a matter between Su Liang and Gu Ling. They definitely didn't think they should tell me. But if they didn't tell grandpa, I think they wanted to give grandpa a surprise. Qiu Jing analyzed.

Qiu Cong twitched the corners of his lips, If you want a surprise, I have to be able to go home years ago. It's difficult in this situation.

Qiu Jing said calmly, It's all my fault.

Qiu Cong sighed, If you want to fight, just fight quickly. Once the fight is over, everything will be fine.

Qiu Jing is here to atone for his sins, and he must have merit to be considered. Qiu Cong had to wait until the Situ clan of Liang Kingdom was wiped out before he could relax his protection of Qiu Jing.

Qiu Jing shook his head, Liang Kingdom will not start a war at this time of year. Fighting in winter has no advantage for the bitterly cold Liang Kingdom, because the climate has much less impact on Qian Kingdom. First of all, the lack of food and grass will prevent the Liang Kingdom's army from going very far unless the Yan Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom form a strong and reliable alliance.

But in view of past experience, if the royal family of Yan Kingdom said to the royal family of Liang Kingdom: Fight, fight now, there will be enough food and grass. New 69 Book Bar → 69𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒙.𝒄𝒐𝒎The royal family of Liang Kingdom will definitely feel that Yan Kingdom is cheating them again.

The Qian Kingdom is located in the Central Plains. If the Yan Kingdom really wants to transport grain and grass to the Liang Kingdom, the battle cannot be small and the Qian Kingdom cannot avoid the sight. There's no point in pretending to be a caravan, because the food and fodder needed for the war is completely different from the size of a normal caravan.

The fastest we have to wait until next spring? Qiu Cong frowned.

Qiu Jing nodded, I think so.

Qiu Cong sighed, Then when can I see my disciple?

It will be earlier than I give my grandpa a great-grandson. Qiu Jing said.

Qiu Cong kicked him away angrily.

Although the reward for Situ Jing has been cancelled, but not for Qiu Jing, those who came here for the reward had long known that targeting Qiu Jing would lead to no return, and most of them chose to go to Yao City to look for opportunities to kill Situ. Jing.

Being retaliated by the royal family of the Liang Kingdom is not something that these masters who would rather die for money consider. Even if it doesn't work out, if they go to Qian Kingdom to collect the reward, they will be protected by the royal family of the Qian Kingdom, and they may even be appreciated and promoted to a noble rank. Maybe.

In order to protect Situ Jing, Situ Xie hid him directly and did not let him show up for many days. He was neither in the palace nor in the original palace of Prince Yue.

Useful, but somewhat embarrassing. Because Qiu Jing cannot and will not hide. He is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army of Qian Kingdom and must take charge of the overall situation in Xuanbei City. And his reward order has been running out for a long time, but no one has succeeded in doing anything to him, and there is not even news that he was injured.

It makes people understand why Situ Xie valued Qiu Jing so much. In terms of strength, he is not comparable to those princes. In terms of mentality, the fact that he is now entrusted with an important task by the Emperor of Qian Kingdom explains everything.

But this is even more ironic. He was supposed to be the best prince of the royal family of Liang Kingdom, but he turned his heart to Qian Kingdom and regarded Liang Kingdom as an enemy. What went wrong is worth pondering by the officials of Liang Kingdom.

Finally, Situ Xie received the news that day. Duanmu Chen canceled the reward for Situ Jing within the time he expected.

Situ Jing was finally able to come out of the dark treasure house in the Liang Kingdom Palace. After being bored for a few days, he looked a little pale and his mood was extremely bad. When he thought of the name Qiu Jing, he gritted his teeth with hatred. The second person I hate is Gu Ling.

It seems that Gu Ling really cares about the lives of Liang Zhen's family. Situ Jing's eyes were cold, In that case, if he doesn't send Qiu Jing's head, he won't blame us for being rude!

Situ Xie looked calm, He will not kill Qiu Jing. Not for Liang Zhen, not for anyone else.

Situ Jing blurted out, If we capture Su Liang, won't Gu Ling kill Qiu Jing in exchange?

Situ Xie nodded, No. This is the principle of life between Gu Ling and Su Liang, not who is more important.

Then why did the emperor impose such conditions on them? Situ Jing was puzzled.

I'm just telling them that Qiu Jing must die. Situ Xie said coldly, In three days, I will cancel the reward for Qiu Jing.

Situ Jing was even more incomprehensible, so he heard Situ Xie say, That's all for the obvious things. New ⑥⑨ Bookstore→⑥⑨ⓢⓗⓤⓧ.ⓒⓞⓜ

The fact is that Qiu Jing is not afraid of the reward order, but Situ Jing is.

What about Liang Zhen's family? Situ Jing asked.

Situ Xie said to keep it for now, as it might be useful later.

When Situ Jing went to tell Liang Zhen that Gu Ling had chosen to compromise for him, Liang Zhen burst into tears and kept saying that he was wrong and that he was sorry for Gu Ling.

If Liang Zhen hadn't told Situ Xie Gu Ling's secret, many things might not be worse, but they would indeed be different from what they are now.

And what he once said to Gu Ling, Your grandpa really cares about you, now seems extremely ridiculous.

Three days later, Situ Xie announced in court that since Emperor Qian had expressed his sincerity in suing for peace, the Liang Kingdom had also canceled the reward order for Qiu Jing, and Qiu Jing had nothing to do with the Situ family of Liang Kingdom.

Although the Qian Kingdom canceled it first, the officials of the Liang Kingdom still felt a little aggrieved because Qiu Jing was still alive, which was a humiliation to the Liang Kingdom royal family.

But anyone with a discerning eye believes that the cancellation of the reward order does not mean that the Liang royal family will not continue to assassinate Qiu Jing.

Two more days later, Situ Xie finally met the guests he had been waiting for, a delegation of confidants secretly sent by the Prince of Yan Kingdom.

The leader was Ji Yuebai's master, named Li Hong, who was the old man who had visited Su Mansion before.

Li Hong took his people and moved into the original Yue Prince's Mansion. Situ Xie did not entertain them with any fanfare, because the negotiations had to be conducted in secret to avoid being noticed by Qian Guo's informants and spoiling the matter.

My master only hopes that the world will be peaceful and the people will be well. Li Hong said seriously, It is time to break the current situation. If it is not broken, it will not be established.

Situ Xie nodded, Mr. Li's words make sense.

Cooperating with Emperor Liang to destroy the Qian Kingdom is the fastest and the only option to unify the world, Li Hong said.

Situ Xie looked overjoyed when he heard this, Prince Yan's idea coincides with mine!

In the past disputes between Yan and Liang, my master did not participate in the decision-making. If Emperor Liang doubts the sincerity of our cooperation with Yan this time, there is no need to talk about it. Li Hong said without being humble or overbearing.

No! Situ Xie said firmly, I believe in Prince Yan's sincerity and credibility.

Li Hong then mentioned that Ji Yuebai meant to set the date for the war to start in the spring of next year, in early March, when it would no longer be cold and freezing, which would be conducive to the Liang Kingdom sending troops. In the remaining half a year, you can plan carefully. How can the country send food and grass to support the Liang Kingdom?

When Situ Xie heard this, his expression became even more relaxed, Okay! I will also order people to prepare good war horses as soon as possible and give them to the Yan Kingdom. The food and grass sent by the Yan Kingdom are naturally not free.

Situ Xie was very satisfied with Ji Yuebai's time for the start of the war, because he had the same plan. If the Yan Kingdom said it would start a war within the year, Situ Xie would definitely suspect that he was trying to trick the Liang Kingdom again.

Next, how to transport the grain and grass from the Yan Kingdom to the Liang Kingdom, and how to send the Liang Kingdom's war horses to the Yan Kingdom, are problems that need to be solved urgently.

Even if it's the beginning of spring, it's just not cold anymore. If a war breaks out, the food and grass in Liang Kingdom still won't last long. Most of the Liang Kingdom is a land of bitter cold, and food is not enough all year round. This is why successive leaders of the Liang Kingdom must fight wars. Only by winning can they have a good life.

The Yan Kingdom's land is fertile and the food is abundant, which is one of the reasons why the Yan Kingdom's royal family does not want to go to war. They already occupy the best territory, so there is no need to waste people and money to take the initiative to fight with others. It is best to guard their own borders first and watch the fire from the other side.

Although it is feasible to form an alliance with the Liang Kingdom and destroy the Qian Kingdom, what happens after that? Liang Guo is a jackal. Will it really be good for Yan Guo after helping him grow stronger? To shake the status quo is to take risks.

Unless, the people in power of Yan Kingdom want to dominate the world.

Now, Ji Yuebai showed this kind of desire, which was what Situ Xie wanted to see.

Although Situ Xie would not fully believe in Yan Guo, based on his understanding of Ji Yuebai's past behavior of keeping a low profile and biding his time, he believed that Ji Yuebai was a very ambitious person.

The Liang Kingdom royal family has been waiting for a true careerist to take power in the Yan Kingdom royal family, so that the Liang Kingdom has the opportunity to use the Yan Kingdom to take an important step to break the situation.

Regarding how Yan and Liang completed the deal before the war across Qian, Li Hong conveyed Ji Yuebai's message: follow Situ Xie's arrangements.

After the battle at the beginning of the year, it was an open secret that Situ Xie had begun to deploy agents to Qian Country and Yan Country many years ago.

Ji Yuebai's meaning was very simple: Yan Guo had enough food and grass and was willing to give it to him, but Situ Xie had to find a way to transport it back.

Situ Xie had planned this kind of thing for a long time, and it was not impossible to realize it, but he had to use his key pieces and channels with extreme caution to cover the eyes and ears of the Qian Kingdom royal family.

This is an absolute secret and cannot be easily known to the people of Yan State, especially at the beginning of cooperation, when trust is very limited.

Situ Xie asked Li Hong and his entourage to rest in Prince Yue's Mansion, and he would discuss other matters another day as he had to think about it.

Li Hong had no objection, but said he had to leave in five days. He also said that he had heard about the reputation of Wolong Snow Mountain and wanted to visit it.

Situ Xie agreed wholeheartedly. Knowing what he had done before, he did not arrange for his grandson to accompany him, but instead arranged for a team that knew the terrain of Wolong Snow Mountain very well.

Li Hong and his party are all martial arts practitioners, their kungfu is not weak, and no unexpected situations occurred.

After returning from the mountain climbing, Li Hong made an unkind request to Situ Jing who entertained him: his grandson was in poor health, and the doctor said he needed snow lotus to nurse him back to health. He originally wanted to try his luck to see if he could find it, but he didn't have much luck. good.

Situ Jing was advised by Situ Xie to try his best to meet Li Hong's request. After hearing this, he said that he could give Li Hong some top-grade snow lotus.

Li Hong appeared very happy and thanked him repeatedly.

After Situ Jing reported to Situ Xie, Situ Xie asked him to prepare more. In addition, he took a petal from the remaining thousand-year-old snow lotus and gave it to Ji Yuebai.

Li Hong would not refuse all the treasures given to him alone, and he showed quite a love for money.

Situ Xie liked to deal with people with weaknesses like this, and he catered to them and gave away many treasures.

But regarding the trade of grain, grass and war horses, until he implemented it for Li Hong, Situ Xie still said that he had not thought of a comprehensive solution. After the plan was complete, he would send someone to inform Ji Yuebai, but asked Yan State to prepare grain and grass to support Liang State.

Li Hong agreed, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Early the next morning, Li Hong set off and left Yaocheng with his people.

Situ Jing asked Situ Xie, Is Yan Guo really trustworthy this time?

Situ Xie's eyes were dark, It's worth a gamble. As long as the Yan Kingdom does not form an alliance with the Qian Kingdom, even if the contract is temporarily broken, the end result will be the same as before, and the result will not be too bad.

Situ Jing frowned, What if... Yan State and Qian State formed a secret alliance? Although this possibility is unlikely, this year Duanmu Chen became the emperor and Ji Yuebai took power, many things are different. But I heard that the princess of Yan Kingdom fell ill when she arrived in Qian Kingdom and has been ill ever since. The only one who made Duanmu Chen treat her differently was my little sister.

Situ Xie was silent for a moment, The matter of Duanmu Chen's harem can't explain anything. There is no reason for the Yan Kingdom to form an alliance with the Qian Kingdom. Only when the Liang Kingdom is in check can the Qian Kingdom be at peace. If the Liang Kingdom is gone, it will be a disaster for the Yan Kingdom. There will be a danger of annihilation of the country.

What the emperor said makes sense. Situ Jing agreed with his face.

The capital of Qian Kingdom.

Yuanming Pavilion was renovated before winter and floor heating was installed. It was still Su Liang who raised the issue and Gu Ling went to do the trouble. In this kind of thing, he only surprises people and never disappoints.

Su Liang's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Gu Ling looked at it every day, occasionally showing a hint of sadness.

Su Liang felt coke and asked him what he was thinking.

Gu Ling sighed slightly, Why can only women give birth to children? It would be great if couples could choose who would give birth.

He just felt that Su Liang was having a hard time, but he couldn't empathize or share the burden.

Su Liang felt that Gu Ling had put forward a very interesting idea. In her previous life, with the development of technology, it might actually be possible.

Su Liang told Gu Ling with a serious expression, If we were to change places and it was you who gave birth to the baby, I would also feel sorry for you.

Gu Ling was stunned for a moment, That's right. It would be great if the baby could pop out of the cracks in the rocks.

Su Liang couldn't help laughing, That's Monkey Sun.

Some days passed, but there was still no news from Lao Bai and Yuan Ying. Li Hong passed by after returning from Liang Kingdom and secretly met Su Liang and Gu Ling.

My master has told me that no matter what gifts Emperor Liang gives, they will all be given to your children. Li Hong brought all the snow lotus flowers and other treasures he brought back from Liang Kingdom to the Su Mansion, making it clear that they were not for Su Liang and Gu. The cool ones are for unborn babies.

Gu Ling took out a box that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Li Hong, This is a gift for Ji Yuebai's son. Please pass it on.

Li Hong accepted it with a smile, and left after telling Situ Xie exactly what happened.

Su Liang asked Gu Ling curiously, When did you prepare the gift for Ji Yuebai's son? What is it?

A wooden sword. Gu Ling said, Ji Yuebai asked his son to become my disciple, but I refused. Now I have changed my mind and plan to accept him.

Su Liang smiled, Aren't you afraid that he will kidnap your precious daughter?

That's why I have to keep an eye on him, teach him well, and train him to be a good brother to our baby. Gu Ling said.
