Chapter 1761 meet
When Chu Huan seized Xigu Pass, the Northwest Army's logistics and grain team had not yet arrived in Jiazhou.
Du Fugong received Chu Huan's order and immediately began to organize a convoy with Linlang to transport food and grass to the front line. Although the three armies had not moved food and grass first, they launched a sudden attack on Xigu Pass this time, so the cavalry corps set out early, and although the logistics grain team accelerated, they left for two days late.
The grain team is like a long dragon, under the escort of the three thousand infantry, stepping up its way to the front line.
The one who led this infantry team was Lu Cunxiao who acted in a big drama with Xuanyuan Shengcai. Xuanyuan Shengcai's sword naturally could not have taken Lu Cunxiao's life, but it only caused Lu Cunxiao to suffer some minor injuries.
The wound has been treated and although it has not yet been cured, it does not affect Lu Cunxiao's actions.
Three thousand soldiers and horses were guarding the head and tail of the grain team and the two wings. The Northwest Cavalry, led by Chu Huan, had already taken Xigu Pass as the vanguard. Pei Ji urgently assembled the Northwest Infantry. In addition to leaving a certain number of troops in important places everywhere, he also organized nearly 30,000 troops in the shortest time to help the front-line cavalry.
Lu Cunxiao's three thousand soldiers were behind and were specially used to protect the logistics team.
As the sun sets, Kazuma City has already appeared in front of me. Lu Cunxiao turned his horse's head and ran to a carriage in the middle of the team. He did not dismount. He rode on the horse and bowed: "Prince, you are about to arrive in Kazuma City!"
The curtains of the carriage were lifted open, and King Yingren of Qi's face had already appeared behind the car window. He looked a little tired, but he still asked, "Is there any news coming from Chu Huan?"
"Report to the prince, there is no news for the time being." Lu Cunxiao said: "But the general has led the main force of the infantry to the front line. If nothing unexpected happens, news will soon come."
King Qi nodded slightly and said, "Are we going to enter the city? The soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles, and we must have food and supplies. Let's hurry up and catch up!"
Lu Cunxiao was very calm and said, "Prince, the team has been traveling several times in a row, with people and horses scarce water. After we arrive in Kazakh City, we can let the team rest outside the city first, and then send people into the city to replenish drinking water. If we want to set off, we have to wait until tomorrow morning."
"Oh?" King Qi hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Since that's the case, everything will be as directed as the general, and ordered to rest for a night outside the city and replenish drinking water. We will set off immediately tomorrow morning!"
Lu Cunxiao shook his head and said, "Prince, after you enter the city, don't continue to move forward!"
"What does it mean?" King Qi frowned.
Lu Cunxiaodao: "The general has an order. After the prince arrives in Kezhou City, the prince will be in charge of Kezhou. The last general leads the grain team to continue to move forward. The war on the front line is flying, and the prince is worth a thousand gold. It is better to stay in Kezhou."
The King of Qi's face suddenly showed anger and said sternly: "Lu Cunxiao, I came out this time not to take charge of Jiazhou. After taking Xigu Pass, I will lead a large army into the pass and eliminate the traitors!"
"Prince!" A soft voice came from the side of the King of Qi, but it was Mo Lingshuang who was accompanying the King of Qi, who advised softly: "General Lu also follows the general's wishes, you!"
"General? Pei Ji?" King Qi sneered: "He is just a general under Chu Huan. When will it be his turn to ask about my king's itinerary? Lu Cunxiao, what are you going to do if I insist on setting off tomorrow?"
"The prince misunderstood." Lu Cunxiao looked solemn, "The general also obeyed the order of the governor of Chu. They were all for the sake of the prince's safety!"
"For the sake of my safety?" King Qi said angrily: "Since that's the case, Shuoquan is the safest. Why did I leave Shuoquan? Pei Ji did not object?"
Lu Cunxiao bowed and said, "Prince, when the general left, he had instructed the general to escort the prince to Jiazhou City and meet someone."
"Meet someone?" King Qi was stunned and then sneered: "What do you mean is that I have walked from Shuoquan for several days, but I want to go to Jiazhou City to see someone?"
Lu Cunxiao nodded, and the King of Qi smiled even more: "When will someone meet me? I need to come to my house in person. Lu Cunxiao, who do you want to bring me to meet?"
"The prince, although it is the order of the general, it is all arranged by the governor of Chu." Lu Cunxiao said respectfully: "When you arrive at Jiazhou City, the prince will know."
The King of Qi wanted to say something else, but Ling Shuang had already gently pulled his sleeves. The King of Qi reluctantly held back. Lu Cunxiao bowed and turned his horse's head away. The King of Qi then put down the curtains with some anger.
"Ling Shuang, have you seen it?" King Qi sneered: "Lu Cunxiao was just a bandit before and was recruited by the government. Now he is so unruly in front of me?"
Ling Shuang frowned slightly, and said softly: "Prince, since it is Brother Chu's arrangement, you!"
"Brother Chu?" King Qi snorted coldly, "I attacked Xigu Pass, but I didn't even discuss it with me. It was not until the food and grass was mobilized that Pei Ji notified me!" There was a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes and he said softly: "Ling Shuang, tell me, is there me in Chu Huan's eyes?"
Ling Shuang's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment, and finally said softly: "Prince, Lord Chuchu did this, perhaps to prevent the prince from worrying too much!"
"You don't have to talk for him anymore." King Qi said lightly: "After Lu Haosheng was imprisoned by him, he became less and less like the one before. I just believed in three points of Lu Haosheng's words, but now it seems that what Lu Changshi said was not as good as expected!"
"Prince!"
"Treat me as his puppet." King Qi lowered his voice and said, "I always thought he was a loyal and loyal person. Now it seems that this is not the case. He was just a minor official in Yunshan Mansion back then. If he hadn't been this king, how could he have been today? It seems that he has forgotten all this!"
Ling Shuang's eyes showed distress and stared at King Qi. The King of Qi turned his head and saw Ling Shuang's face showing worry, and chuckled, "What? I was wrong? These are all the words in my heart. If you tell Chu Huan, it won't matter!"
Ling Shuang's eyes turned red, she lowered her head and didn't say anything, but tears were already bursting out of her eyes.
King Qi knew that he had made up his words, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Ling Shuang's arm and whispered: "Ling Shuang, don't be angry. I am just talking nonsense, so I just say it casually, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable to hold it in my heart. You know, there is no one around me, only you can trust. If you don't say these words to you, I, who can I say to? Don't blame me, I won't say these nonsense in the future."
Ling Shuang raised her head, her eyes were swaying with tears, and she was beautiful and charming, and said softly: "Prince, I know you are unhappy, but Ling Shuang just wants you to be safe. Lord Chu is not a bad person, and he has no bad intentions to you. As long as the prince is good to him, Ling Shuang believes that Lord Chu will definitely be nice to the prince!"
The King of Qi smiled bitterly and said, "What is good? Ling Shuang, don't forget that I am the prince of the Qin Dynasty. I have thousands of miles of country and all the world of Qin. Since I am a prince, should I watch the Qin Dynasty ruin it?" He sighed and his voice was even lower: "Chu Huan promised me to help me fight back to the capital, but his current actions disappointed me. I have always trusted him very much, and even came from the capital to the northwest. I just felt that he would not let down my friendship with him, and would become my arm and help me revitalize the empire!"
"Prince, Lord Chu may sometimes be in control." Ling Shuang said quietly, "He has always respected the prince very much, but!" He smiled bitterly and said, "Prince, Ling Shuang is just a little girl and doesn't understand big things. In fact, I think the prince's peaceful life may not be a good thing, so why bother fighting and killing others!"
The King of Qi was stunned, then frowned, and finally shook his head without saying much.
When the sun set, the team had already reached outside the city of Jiazhou. Lu Cunxiao personally commanded the team to set up camp outside the city, burying pots and making rice, resting on the spot, and everything was ready. Only then did they take two hundred soldiers to escort the King of Qi's carriage into the city, and lead the soldiers into the city to replenish their drinking water.
The team escorted the King of Qi's carriage. After entering the city, they went straight to the prefecture's prefecture. When the King of Qi got off the car, he found that the prefect's prefecture was very strict. He glanced at Lu Cunxiao beside him and asked, "You said I want to go into the city to see someone, right here?"
"That's right." Lu Cunxiao bowed and said, "Prince, please come in!"
The King of Qi frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, but did not say much. He stepped forward, Ling Shuang followed him, and the eunuch Sun Desheng had already followed him and entered the prefectural prefecture together.
The mansion was very quiet, and the lights were lit. As soon as I entered the door, a maid had already come forward and bowed. She had already known the identity of the King of Qi and said softly: "Prince, please come with me!"
The King of Qi was very confused. He looked at Mo Lingshuang beside him, and Lingshuang also looked around, with a confused look on his pretty face.
Although the King of Qi did not have real power in the northwest, he had a prominent position after all. The imperial prince, even Chu Huan, was respectful when he saw it. Looking to the northwest, it was really rare to let the King of Qi meet him in person. Although Ling Shuang was smart, it was difficult to understand who had such a great face.
The maid led the King of Qi through the courtyard and turned to the side hall of the prefecture. When the King of Qi saw the bright fire in the side hall, the lights were lit. The maid had already stopped and said respectfully: "Prince, please come in, I will take my leave first!" Without saying much, he retreated directly.
King Qi walked slowly over and walked to the side hall door. He saw that the hall door was open and the fire in the room was bright. He took a step further inside and looked around. The decoration inside the room was very simple, but very clean. He had already caught a glimpse of a figure sitting on a chair not far away, facing the hall door, holding a book in his hand, wrapped in silver, holding a palace bun, and an oil lamp on the table beside him. Under the light, his skin was as snow as snow, his crows were greasy, his temperament was elegant, and he was extremely quiet.
King Qi looked at him twice, his face changed drastically, and he said in a lost voice: "My mother!"
