Chapter 312 Chapter 310 [Heaven and Earth Overturn]

Early the next morning, Qingyu Huaijin walked slowly into the courtyard, looking at the pear tree in the corner with cold eyes, and saw new buds sprouting, and everything in the world was revived.

In such a season when spring returns to the earth, her mood is particularly cold and gloomy, and she seems to be unable to feel the slightest warmth from the outside world.

After standing quietly for a while, Qingyu Huaijin slowly raised his right hand, then took a step forward and slapped it with a palm.

The pear tree remained motionless, with only the top branches and leaves swaying gently in the spring breeze, seeming to laugh at the woman's weakness.

The poison of this hook is really powerful.

Qingyu Huaijin frowned. She could clearly feel the existence of inner energy. However, as long as she activated the exercises like before, an invisible hand would pinch her meridians, preventing her from using them at all. strength.

"You are so angry with flowers and plants early in the morning. Can you change your unruly habits a little?"

Lu Chen's voice sounded near the door, and Qingyu Huaijin turned around to look, only to see him standing with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his expression was quite serious.

Hearing the reproach in his words, she subconsciously turned cold and said: "What are you -"

The words stopped abruptly. After Lu Chen's long lecture last night, the princess clearly understood that a good man should not suffer the immediate consequences.

Lu Chen did not continue to talk, walked closer and asked, "Where is the letter?"

Qingyu Huaijin turned around, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and then handed it over without looking at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen reached out to take the letter, and said while reading: "During this period, your food and drinking water will be regularly and quantitatively added with the poison of hooks and sinks. But don't worry, this poison will not damage other parts of the body, it will only limit The inner energy in your body prevents you from continuing to hurt others. Once you agree to my terms with the emperor, you can regain your freedom. In another seven or eight days, the hook poison in your body will naturally dissipate."

Qingyu Huaijin gradually widened his eyes.

Lu Chen read the letter she wrote to Qing Yu Zhongwang from beginning to end, nodded slightly and said, "The writing is good. It seems that you have been studying Daqi culture since you were young."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qingyu Huaijin said unconvinced: "Decades ago, the great scholar of our clan created the Jinglian script!"

Lu Chen shrugged: "That's what you say."

He handed the letter to Li Chengen, who was following him, and ordered: "Select a few smart brothers to go north and deliver this letter to Qing Yu Zhongwang. Don't worry, the princess is here." They live a comfortable life, and Qingyu Zhongwang will not embarrass them."

"Yes, Master."

Li Chengen agreed with a smile.

Lu Chen turned to look at Qing Yu Huaijin, who looked unkind, and asked casually: "By the way, do you know where Wang Shidao is hiding?"

Qingyu Huaijin said in a dull voice: "I don't know."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I really don't know? I think you may insist on opposing me on other matters, but you shouldn't hide your secrets in this matter."

Qingyu Huaijin looked at the faint smile on his face, resisted the urge to punch him in the face, and asked, "Why?"

Lu Chen said slowly: "After I went back last night, I had a general understanding of the murder that took place in Taiji Hall. Judging from the scene at that time, Zhang Can had obviously planned it, and it was definitely not a temporary act. He caused such a big battle under your nose. , but the Prosecutor's Office didn't notice it, isn't this suspicious? To be fair, I don't believe you can take full control of the Prosecutor's Office in just one or two months."

Qingyu Huaijin pondered: "You want to say that this matter is related to Wang Shidao?"

Lu Chen said: "This is my intuition. There is no real evidence. Believe it or not. I just think that if no one helps cover it up, Zhang Can can't be flawless, and the person who can help him cover it up must be Wang Shidao. He doesn't need it. If you do anything on purpose, just cut off the surveillance of the Imperial Palace from the Procuratorate, you will become blind."

Qingyu Huaijin gave him a very harmless look and asked, "Why would he do this?"

"It must not be against you, otherwise he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."

Lu Chen smiled faintly and said leisurely: "I just hope that Zhang Can and the fake officials of Yan will kill each other to the death, and then there will be a large power vacuum, and he can take advantage of the situation. I won't tell you, do you know? If you don't want to say it, forget it. Anyway, I believe in the abilities of the Warp Weaver brothers."

Qingyu Huaijin was extremely angry at Wang Shidao who had hidden evil intentions, so he whispered a few place names and said: "These places are the strongholds he has been to before, but now that you are openly controlling Heluo, he may not dare to show up. .”

"Thank you."

Lu Chen slowed down his tone, and then said: "I still have a lot of things to do. You stay here for the next few days, and remember not to lose your temper, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."

Qingyu Huaijin didn't answer, but turned around and walked towards the house.

Lu Chen glanced at her back, and then left with Li Chengen.

"Master, didn't you meet Wang Shidao yesterday?"

Li Chengen lowered his voice and looked puzzled.

Lu Chen said calmly: "This kind of person is capricious and hard to control. Just relying on verbal promises means nothing. If we want him to help us honestly, we have to force him away from the powerful people of Jing Dynasty. As long as Qing Qing Yu Huaijin went back with a suspicion of him, and he will have no other choice but to completely switch to our side in the future."

Li Chengen said sincerely: "That's true."

"Now you have someone send the letter out, and when Wang Shidao sends the information about the powerful people in the city, you select the useful people and bring them together with the Ruishi Battalion. The time left for us is not very much, you Tell the brothers not to slack off, and I will reward everyone when I get back."

Lu Chen stretched his arms, his eyes filled with ambition.

"Follow the order!"

Li Chengen responded loudly. …

a few days later.

More than 270 miles north of Heluo is the small town of Linwu.

The atmosphere in the originally peaceful county town became tense and chilling due to the arrival of a Jing Dynasty army.

This army consisted of more than 10,000 cavalry and nearly 2,000 infantry. The leading general was Qing Yugong's eldest son, Qing Yu Zhongwang.

In the main hall of the county government office, the magistrate and several clerks respectfully offered tea, then carefully bowed and left.

The atmosphere here is very solemn.

When the army was still in the territory of Henan Road, Qingyu Zhongwang received an urgent report from Moulianghu. When he learned that Heluo had fallen and Qingyu Huaijin fell into the hands of the Qi army, he almost fell into rage. In such a state, all the cronies around him remained silent.

Fortunately, Qing Yu Zhongwang did not express his anger at others. Perhaps it was because the confrontation between Ruyin City and Xiao Wangzhi and the subsequent retreat made him have a premonition of this matter.

Today another letter came from the south.

Qingyu Zhongwang looked at the familiar handwriting on the paper, and his heart was as sharp as a knife for a moment.

Although Qingyu Huaijin's tone in the letter was very relaxed, she had never experienced that kind of dangerous situation and could not imagine how painful her situation was in the enemy's camp.

There were often rumors in Dadu of Jing Dynasty about the Qing Yu Gong and his children competing for power. However, Qing Yu Zhongwang knew very well that his sister had never wanted to compete with him. This was also the reason why the two brothers and sisters had been extremely close since childhood. .

Now that Qingyu Huaijin is behind bars, how can he, as the eldest brother, deal with it calmly?

"Little prince..."

Lou Shuo Fangming looked at Qing Yuzhong's livid face and shouted anxiously.

Qingyu Zhongwang said coldly: "Tell me."

Lou Shuo Fangming calmed down and said respectfully: "In my humble opinion, our army cannot follow the enemy's orders at the moment. Lu Chen used the princess' mouth to force our army to stay away from Heluo City. He just wanted to take advantage of this month. It’s time to strengthen the city’s defenses, but I hope the young prince will think twice.”

Qingyu Zhongwang asked: "Heluo city defense needs to be reinforced?"

Lou Shuo Fangming was slightly suffocated, and then said: "Previously, General Moulianghu said in the emergency report that a gap appeared in Heluo North City, which was destroyed by Lu Chen using explosives. In other words, there is now a gap in Heluo City. There is a fatal gap. If our army attacks quickly, we can use this gap to break into the city. If we give the opponent a month, I think Lu Chen can drive the people in the city to repair the city wall."

Qingyu Zhongwang was silent.

Chemuji on the other side said in a deep voice: "Lou Shuo, everyone understands what you are saying, but have you ever thought about this question? If we forcefully approach Heluo, won't we force the enemy to murder Her Highness the Princess?"

Lou Shuo Fangming's face tightened and he quickly said to Qing Yu Zhongwang: "My young prince, the general has no such intention."

Qing Yu Zhongwang waved his hand and said slowly: "Putting aside the safety of my sister, Lu Chen's move is more like a bait. He specifically specified a month's time, obviously hoping that we would try to recapture it during this time. Heluo. The problem is that the Huaizhou Army will not stupidly stay in the city waiting for us to attack. Our army's current strength cannot support a long-term strong attack. If things are not harmonious, our department and the Ministry of the Lianghu are extremely capable. He might have died at the foot of Heluo City."

The generals were shocked.

Qing Yu Zhongwang looked around and said: "Don't forget that while our army is rushing back to Heluo, Xiao Wangzhi has also completed the full occupation of Dongyang Road, and he has spare power to dispatch troops. If I You guessed it right, the Huaizhou Zhenbei Army is on its way to Heluo at the moment, and there may be more than just this elite group."

There were beads of sweat on Lou Shuo Fangming's forehead, and he said with shame: "Young Master Mingming, I will think too simply."

Qing Yu Zhongwang laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "I don't have any clear opinion. It's just that I was tricked by these people from the south. It's just a shadow of a snake."

His words demeaned himself, and the generals in the hall were not able to cater to him. However, Qing Yu Zhongwang could still remain calm at this moment, which made them feel more at ease.

Chemuji then changed the topic and asked: "My young prince, how should our army act next?"

Qing Yu Zhongwang glanced at the letter in his hand and said calmly: "Since Lu Chen made a request for Huaijin's safety, our army will temporarily withdraw to Henan Road, and also notify Mou Lianghu to lead his troops to withdraw to Jiangbei Road. Waiting for further orders."

All the generals responded.

Qing Yu Zhongwang added: "During this period, the scouts from all departments will step up their exploration in the direction of Heluo. I want to know the detailed movements of Lu Chen and the Huaizhou Army. Rest tonight and return north tomorrow."

"Follow the order!"

The generals stood up and responded, then bowed and left.

The hall gradually became quiet.

Qingyu Zhongwang folded Qingyu Huaijin's autographed letter and put it into the middle of his clothes.

To this day, he already has a very clear feeling that the situation between Dajing and Nanqi has changed drastically.

The Southern Qi Dynasty is no longer a weak and humble corner of Pian'an. On the contrary, through the outstanding performance of the Huai and Jing border troops, this century-old dynasty that almost perished fifteen years ago finally recovered and relied on the heritage inherited for a hundred and fifty years. Showing off again.

This is obviously not good news for Dajing.

Qing Yu Zhongwang slowly clenched his fists, his eyes filled with cold fire.
