My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 228 How can I prove that I only ate one bowl of noodles!

Jingchou's eyes narrowed: "Sister-in-law?"

"Send Lord Chang'an's sister-in-law back to Daqin?"

Jing Li said in surprise: "Mr. Qu kidnapped Chang'an Jun's sister-in-law?"

Jingchou shook his head: "Impossible."

"Chang'an Lord has only one brother, and that is Qin Wangzheng!"

"Why did he, the Qu family, steal the concubines of King Qin?"

"Send a message back to Shouchun quickly and ask the people to find out whether the Qu family is married to Qin!"

Jingpo immediately handed over his hand: "Wei!"

Two days after the defeat of Anling City, the atmosphere within the Chu army was very strange.

The Qu family was obviously the hero of the city's seizure, but they didn't dare to take away the spoils inside the city, let alone talk and laugh out loud. Whenever they met people from other clans, they had to behave with their tail between their legs and smile in apology.

But Mrs. Qu's face was smiling, were they really smiling in their hearts?
They are very wronged!
If Ying Chengyu doesn't attack us, it's his choice. What does it have to do with us?
I, Mrs. Qu, have done nothing wrong!

No matter how much our Qu family suffered in this battle, this city was conquered by our Qu family.

Why should we swallow our anger?
On the other side, Jingchou was even more furious.

"Oh!"

Slapping his hand on the table, Jingchou said angrily: "You thief Qu family, how dare you join forces with Qin to weaken our Jing family!"

Jingpo hurriedly asked: "Chief, what is going on?"

Jingchou handed the family letter to Jingpo and said in a deep voice: "The clan has found out."

"A few days ago, the State of Qin sent travelers to visit the Qu family with generous gifts."

"The clan thought that the Qin State was just lobbying the Qu family for peace just like it lobbied my clan."

"But after much inquiring, I found out that the King of Qin wanted to accept one of the Qu's daughters as beauties and three of the Qu's as beauties. He also wanted to give a thousand war horses and a hundred catties of gold as betrothal gifts!"

Jing Li was stunned: "Qin Wangzheng is actually willing to give Qu the title of a beauty and the title of a beloved person?!"

This condition is not just as simple as four concubines, but also represents great political expectations!
As long as any one of these four women can charm Ying Zheng's heart and let Ying Zheng make her queen, then her heir can become the future King of Qin!

The future King of Qin is his grandson and nephew. Who can not be moved by this?

Who doesn’t want to be the next Wei Ran and the next Mi Chen?
Moreover, Ying Zheng gave four concubines the title of concubine, and his sincerity was also extremely high.

One Qu girl may be infertile, but four Qu girls can't all be infertile, right?
Whenever one of the Qu girls gives birth to a child, they can adopt the most favored Qu girl as their son, which further increases the possibility that the next King of Qin will have Qu's blood flowing in his body!

Ying Zheng paid such a heavy gift, what kind of reward would Qu give?
Jingpo was furious: "No wonder my Jing family suffered a lot of losses in this battle, but Qu's family only lost a few hundred people."

"It turns out that the State of Qin has already joined forces with the Qu family!"

"The Qu family has probably informed the Qin army of our army's falsehoods, and the Qin army is also cooperating with the Qu family to weaken our clan."

"Chief, this battle can't be fought. Let's withdraw our troops!"

Jing Chou agreed very much with Jing Po's words and even came to a sudden realization.

I just said that Jingshi and Ying Chengyu had no grudges, so why did Ying Chengyu grab Jingshi's explosive hammer?

Qu is behind the co-authorship!
Jingshi and Yingcheng have no grudges, but there are countless conflicts and contradictions between Jingshi and Qu.

pass!

Everything is explained!

Jingchou stood up suddenly: "There is a villain behind this, how can we win this battle?"

"We must withdraw our troops!"

"But we cannot withdraw our troops in despair."

"Go with me to find Shangzhu Kingdom!"

Although Jing Chou is the leader of the Jing clan, his actions cannot exceed the limits of the rules.

If the Jing family withdraws their troops quietly, King Han of Chu can completely remove the official positions of the Jing family generals on charges of desertion.

Jing couldn't leave quietly, he had to leave openly!

A group of Jing family generals entered the central army aggressively.

Xiang Yan, who was discussing with Qu Huan how to deal with conflicts in the army, frowned slightly and asked dissatisfiedly: "Jing Mo Ao, what do you mean?"

Xiang Yan was also very angry.

After the Qin army retreated, according to Xiang Yan's idea, they must pursue them one after another.

But it was because the internal conflicts in the Chu army had reached a point that they had to be resolved, Xiang Yan had no choice but to give up the pursuit and thought about how to deal with the internal conflicts in the army.

As a result, Jing is still making trouble now? !
Jingchou said in a deep voice: "Shangzhu Kingdom, it's not that I, the Jing family, don't want to serve the country, it's because there are people in the army who are collaborators and treasonous people. If this war continues like this, we will definitely lose!"

Xiang Yan asked solemnly: "What evidence did Jing Mo Ao find?"

Jingchou sneered: "Qu is very cautious in his actions, how can he leave us the opportunity to look for evidence?"

Qu Huan was shocked and immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "Jing Mo Ao is saying that my Qu family is a collaborator with the enemy?"

"Ever since 500 years ago, my ancestor of the Qu family, Young Master Xia, has been fighting for the king, defeating the four-nation coalition forces of Sui, Jiao, Zhou and Liao!"

"For 500 years, I, Mrs. Qu, have always been loyal to the king, patriotic, and shared the king's worries."

"What right does Jing Mo Ao have to doubt my loyalty to Da Chu?"

Jingchou looked directly at Qu Huan: "Qu Sima's words are conclusive, but how can he explain the fact that he married his daughter to King Qin Zheng as a beauty during the war?"

Qu Huan:? ? ?
Is Mrs. Qu going to marry her daughter to be a beauty for King Qin?
Why don’t I, the leader of the clan, know this?
Qu Huan said flatly: "I don't know anything about this."

"Jing Mo Aoxiu wants to slander me!"

Qu Huan really knew nothing about Jing Chou's identification.

But for the Jing family, who had already received the news through other channels, they only thought that Qu Huan was pretending to be stupid!

Jingchou smiled coldly: "You know nothing?"

"Ha~ Such a clueless one!"

"Then when Lord Chang'an of the Qin State withdrew his troops, why did the Qu family not pursue him one after another, but instead sat back and watched Lord Chang'an escape from Anling City with only a hundred soldiers?"

Qu Huan explained seriously: "My captain believes that Chang'anju is cunning, so there must be something deceitful!"

"Moreover, Lord Chang'an issued an order when he approached the city gate. It is very likely that there was an ambush waiting for him!" Jingchou asked, "Where is the ambush?"

Qu Huan was stunned, and after a few breaths he said with no confidence: "It hasn't been discovered yet."

Ying Chengyu did let the fortune teller play the semaphore.

But no matter which country's semaphore system it was applied to, the semaphore was a mess, and Ying Chengyu had not prepared any ambush at all.

After the army withdrew from Dongcheng, there were indeed only a hundred soldiers following Ying Chengyu!
Where could Qu Huan go to find an ambush?
Can't find it at all!
Jingchou laughed mockingly and looked at Xiang Yan: "I really have no evidence, but do you need evidence for what Qu did?"

"I, Mr. Jing, are indeed not good at catching thieves, but Mr. Jing will report the truth to the king and ask him to find evidence that proves that Mr. Qu is collaborating with the enemy!"

Xiang Yan sincerely advised: "Jing Mo Ao, don't fall for the Qin army's alienation plan!"

"Qu is also willing to take on more arduous tasks in the next war to show his loyalty to our great Chu!"

Jingchou shook his head: "The Jing family does not want to continue to waste my Jing family's troops while waiting for the Qu family to prove his loyalty."

"The Jing family withdraws from this battle!"

Xiang Yan stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty was unwilling to send troops, but Jing Mo Ao made a noise to send troops."

"Why is Jing Mo Ao the first to withdraw now?!"

Jingchou said calmly: "I was wrong!"

"Because of my mistake, more than [-] of the Jing family's heroes died in battle!"

"I can't make the same mistake again and again, and I can't let more men die because of my mistakes!"

"After I return to the court, I will apologize to the king."

Jingchou bowed his hands and said, "Farewell!"

After saying this, Jingchou turned around and left without hesitation.

Xiang Yan quickly bypassed the case and chased Jing Chou: "Jing Mo Ao!"

Lifting the curtain, Xiang Yan not only saw Jingchou, but also Zhaohuang, Zhaoyuan and other generals of the Zhao family.

Xiang Yan had a bad premonition in his heart: "Generals, why are you here?"

Zhaoyuan and other generals all raised their hands and said, "The last general heard the clan leader's order to withdraw the army, so he came here to inform Shangzhu Kingdom."

Zhaoyuan's attitude is very clear.

We are not discussing with you whether to withdraw the army, but we are informing you that we are withdrawing the army!

Xiang Yan's heart suddenly shrank and she asked solemnly, "Why!"

Zhaoyuan glanced at Qu Huan, then bowed his hands to Xiang Yan and said, "This is the order of the clan leader. We are just following orders."

"Moreover, I, the leader of the Zhao clan, have told the king about this matter and received his approval."

"It won't take long for Wang Ling, who has transferred our army's divisions, to arrive in the army."

"When Shangzhu Kingdom triumphs, the Zhao clan leader will personally visit Shangzhu Kingdom."

Zhaoyuan's words did not put forward any valid information.

But Zhaoyuan's eyes said everything.

Apparently, the Zhao family also found out the news that Qu's daughter was going to become the beauty of the King of Qin. She couldn't help but wonder whether Qu was secretly colluding with Qin and using Qin's sword to kill political opponents!

In addition to being suspicious of Qu, General Zhao was also holding fire in his heart.

Since the Jing family got the most profits, why did they change their tactics in order to reduce the Jing family's battle losses?
Jing's family has a lot of lucrative war profits, and Qu's family has the merit of being the first to come to the door.

What does Zhao have?
Zhaoshi has nothing!

Could it be that just because I, the leader of the Zhao clan, did not go out with the army but sat in the rear to raise food and grass, you are bullying my descendants like this? !

This is not fair!

The veins on Xiang Yan's temples bulged out, but he still suppressed his anger and sincerely persuaded: "So far in this battle, I, the Great Chu, have the advantage."

"As long as we, Da Chu, cooperate sincerely and continue to attack, we will definitely gain a lot from this battle."

"It's such a pity that Zhao is withdrawing!"

Zhaoyuan shook his head: "The patriarch's order has been given, how can we not obey it?"

"And..." Zhao Yuan glanced at Qu Huan again: "No matter how much we gain from this battle, what does it have to do with my Zhao family?"

"May Shangzhu Kingdom triumph!"

With a final bow, the Zhao generals also strode away.

Further away, the generals of the Dou clan, Cheng clan, Sun clan and other clans were also looking at Xiang Yan from a distance.

Obviously, they also have the intention to withdraw their troops, but because their clan strength is relatively small, they are afraid of being beheaded by Xiang Yan, so they are afraid to move forward.

Xiang Yan ignored them and turned to look at Qu Huan: "Qu Sima, what on earth is going on!"

Qu Huan said firmly: "Before Chang'an Jun withdrew his troops, he indeed loudly said that Anling City was his wedding gift to his sister-in-law."

"But I, Mrs. Qu, have definitely not colluded with the Qin State, let alone married a daughter to the King of Qin as a beauty!"

Xiang Yan frowned: "Could it be that a branch of the Qu family made such a decision?"

Qu Huan shook his head without hesitation: "As the leader of the Qu clan, only I can decide on such a major matter."

"I have never given permission. No matter the main line or the side line, who dares to make such a decision?"

"This is definitely a plan to alienate Lord Chang'an!"

While talking, Qu Ou quickly ran to Qu Huan's vicinity.

But seeing Xiang Yan there, Qu Ou immediately stopped and hesitated.

Qu Huan greeted loudly: "I, Mrs. Qu, have nothing to say to anyone. If there is anything you need to report, just tell me directly!"

Qu Ou quickly walked two steps to Qu Huan, bowed his hands to Xiang Yan first, then leaned close to Qu Huan and whispered: "A letter from the clan."

"Mr. Changping of the Qin State and his son Qi Qi came to the clan with war horses and treasures, intending to accept my Qu family's daughter as a beauty on behalf of the King of Qin."

Qu Huan's pupils were shocked: "When did this happen?"

"Why do I know nothing about this?"

Qu Ou said bitterly: "Mr. Changping arrived in Shouchun only two days ago!"
