A carriage is passing a mountain pass.
This end of the mountain pass is the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, while the other end is the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty.
A general of the Qin army was riding on a horse, looking at the carriage heading towards Chu, the red cloak behind him was fluttering like a battle flag fluttering in the mountain wind.
"In the previous Changling Rebellion, we were defeated by Chu and forced to cut off Yangshan County. This was a great shame to my Qin army. But in my opinion, today's humiliation is even worse than Yangshan County being cut off."
The general of the Qin army lowered his eyelids, and said in a cold voice with a face as heavy as iron: "The wine shop boy's previous cultivation in Changling, and everything he did before and after the Minshan Sword Festival are admirable enough. On this Wuzhi battlefield, he even made extraordinary achievements. However, after he died in battle, his only relative was sent to Chu as some kind of secret exchange condition. Think about what will happen to the people around you after you die."
"I heard that Lord Liling asked for this woman when he was in Wutongluo, but he was humiliated by the boy from the wine shop with a few words. The boy from the wine shop was not even a practitioner at the time, but he was able to keep the woman from Changling. , Now that we have a strong army and horses, but we have to watch this woman sent to Chu, it is really sad and ridiculous."
"..."
Behind this general of the frontier army of the Qin Army, there were many other generals riding quietly like him, but they were silent when they heard his angry words.
One is because they don't have such a high status and dare not judge so bluntly, and the other is because they know that if they can't control their emotions, it will make the general's emotions worse and more difficult to control.
…
In the carriage, Changsun Qianxue sat as coldly as usual.
Coming to Chu, this is the first time she has left the Great Qin Dynasty and entered the territory of other dynasties. Especially for her, leaving Changling has a different meaning.
"I accept your arrangement only because even Gu Huai died at your hands. I just recognize your ability, but it doesn't mean that I have forgiven you."
The neighing of the horses in front of the carriage was one piece, Changsun Qianxue sensed a familiar atmosphere, raised her head slightly, and a layer of real frost shone on her face, so beautiful that it was hard to forget after seeing it.
A line of Chu troops stood in formation.
After completing the handover of documents, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a military adviser arrived in front of the carriage that had already parked in the territory of the Chu Dynasty. The general nodded.
However, he did not return to the chariot he was riding in before, but directly bent down and entered the carriage very boldly, and sat down opposite Changsun Qianxue.
The compartment is not wide enough for two people.
The middle-aged man just nodded his head as a salute, his voice full of emotion sounded, but it only echoed in the carriage, "Long time no see."
This is the tone of a real old man.
So this is the real old man.
"I didn't expect you to be alive."
The eldest grandson Qianxue did not look at the middle-aged man with graying temples, she turned her head with disgust, looked at the curtains of the car that were blown by the breeze, and said coldly: "Lin Zhujiu arranged for you to come here. It took a lot of thought to see me, but apart from seeing me a few more times, is there any difference between you and them to me?"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and was silent for a moment, then looked at her and said seriously, "Actually, you shouldn't hate him, because there are some things you don't understand."
Changsun Qianxue frowned even more resentfully, and said, "These are all things that have already been settled, so is there any point in mentioning them?"
The middle-aged man's face was even more solemn, he nodded in response, and said: "Even if it is a thing of the past, everything has its own merits and demerits. Lin Zhuojiu asked me to come to see you, not because I have studied in the same discipline as you. It’s your senior brother, but because you should know that I never tell lies.”
The eldest grandson Qianxue remained silent.
Because she knew what the man said was true.
This man also came from an old powerful family and once had a common master with her, but in the end he got very close to Bashan Sword Field.
His name is Gongshuzhi, and among the two phases, one of the positions should belong to him.
It is not because of his background and cultivation, but because of his straightness, because he has always told right from wrong and never lied.
"You don't know everything about what happened back then, or it's very one-sided."
Gongshu looked at her who was silent, and said slowly: "It was indeed his idea that the businessman presided over the reform, but the businessman violated the interests of most dignitaries at that time. In order to temporarily avoid chaos and appease the anger of some people, let the businessman Be a scapegoat first, but it has nothing to do with him. He was in Chu at that time, and when he received the news and came back day and night, there was only one orphan girl left in the business. Because of this, he had already broken with Yuan Wu the edge of."
"The world thinks that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, but in fact the mistake he made was to trust Zheng Xiu."
Gongshu looked straight at Changsun Qianxue who was pursing his lips tightly, and said slowly: "That year when he fought Wei Zheng, he let Zheng Xiu stay in Changling to restrain Yuan Wu. In fact, at that time, he and your family , including the rest of the families, have already negotiated about what each family will be responsible for in Changling in the future, and they will be named foreign marquises."
"As long as the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty can continue to expand outward, the land will never be closed."
Gongshu looked straight at the eldest grandson Qianxue whose eyelashes were starting to twitch, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "However, he never thought that Zheng Xiu would stand with Yuanwu. And this is the key to a complete break between him and Yuan Wu. The last thing he planned with Zheng Xiu was to make Bashan Sword Field withdraw from Changling peacefully, but it was unexpected that Yuan Wu and Zheng Xiu took the lead in launching the attack."
Changsun Qianxue's lips were tightly pursed like a thread, but the corners of her lips kept trembling.
"You said these things, he didn't know at all?"
"If you don't even believe what I said, there is another person who can prove it." Gongshu looked at her who finally spoke, and said seriously: "Ye Xiao knows that these things have nothing to do with him."
The eldest grandson Qianxue raised her head.
"It's already a matter of final conclusion, is there any point in mentioning these?"
Slowly, she said this sentence again.
This is the second time she has said it.
"Of course it makes sense."
Gongshu looked at her directly, and said slowly and softly, "He was in a hurry to go back to Changling, because he was afraid that you would go directly to fight Zheng Xiu at all costs... But in the end, he didn't expect that Zheng Xiu could be so ruthless... , so many people's lives can be used to force him to appear."
The eldest grandson Qianxue remained silent.
The cold wind beat against the curtains of the car, and the occasional light that penetrated the car windows seemed to be extremely harsh, making the pupils sour.
However, Gong Shuzhi did not stop there.
He looked at her more seriously, and said directly: "You should understand that he didn't just treat you like a business lady, but out of guilt. He has always admired you, just because he knew Zheng Xiuqian, He can't accept your feelings, so he can only regard you as a confidante. At least in my opinion, if there is no Zheng Xiu, if he has not met Zheng Xiu... the first person he will like is you."
