Duan Shao saw the word "moying", and a glimmer of hope rose between his eyebrows and eyes. He poked his fingers out and dipped them in a cup. While writing "What's the moment" on the table, he said: "Put some strength? What do you mean? What strength do you want to put in for the people of Chu?"

Shen Tu Luo said: "Your Highness, our troops in Puyang are already dead chess. No matter who can win in the end, the troops in Puyang will not be their opponents, and they will end up dying for the country."

"They are soldiers of the Great Qi Dynasty and should have fought to the last soldier." Duan Shao said in a deep voice: "Does the Grand Governor think they should surrender?"

Shen Tuluo had already written eight words on the table with his fingers, "Waiting for the opportunity" and sighed: "This is naturally also a choice, but if you want to preserve the blood of the Great Qi royal family, you must pay some price. The Chu people need us to persuade the troops on Linghu Xiang's side. If we ignore it and do not cooperate with them, I am afraid!"

"What are you afraid of?" Although Duan Shao spoke coldly, he looked at the word "water" on the table and looked at Shen Tu Luo again, understanding it and nodding.

Shen Tu Luo said: "I am afraid that the Chu people will have evil thoughts, which will be unfavorable to Your Highness. If Your Highness really let Linghu Xiang disband his troops and do something for them, the Chu people will not remain indifferent. I will look for Qi Ning tomorrow and explain to him that he is the favorite minister of the Chu emperor. If you reach an agreement with him, it is just like reaching an agreement with Chu. Your Highness, now that things have come to this, we don't need to fight with them. You can think about what conditions should be put forward to them."

Duan Shao sighed and said, "I have no clue. Governor, what should we do in your opinion?"

While Shen Tuluo and Duan Shao were discussing, under the night, several fast horses were parked in front of Huizecheng County Government. At once, the people were all wearing large black cloaks and wearing hats. The movements of dismounting were neat and straightforward. The soldiers guarding the county government had already stopped in front of the main gate. Someone had already asked in a deep voice: "Who is coming?"

One of the men from the hats went forward and said in a deep voice: "I am ordered to pass the order and meet the Duke of the National Protection immediately!"

When the guard heard that it was the emperor's order, he bent his body slightly and asked carefully: "Is it the man in the palace?"

Behind the man in the hat, a short and fat man in black raised his hand and picked up the hat, revealing a chubby face. The eyes on the big round face looked very small, and his voice was gentle: "I'm sorry to report it, I'll say that Qu Xiaocang was ordered to see him!"

The guards did not dare to delay and quickly reported. Not long after, they saw Xuanyuan Po quickly coming out. When Qu Xiaocang and his men saw Xuanyuan Po, they immediately went up to him and bowed, "Greetings to Brother Senior!"

Xuanyuan Po was also very happy when he saw Qu Xiaocang and others. He nodded slightly, saw someone beside him, and said in surprise: "Little Junior Brother?" The man was Yan Lingxian, a captain of the Pojun, and bowed: "Senior Brother!"

The people from the Shenhou Mansion suddenly came to Huize County, which really surprised Xuanyuan Po. Without saying much, he raised his hand and said, "Young Master is waiting. Second Junior Brother, junior brother, you follow me to meet the young Duke. Everyone else will be waiting for the time being." He took everyone into the county yamen, and the others stayed in the yard to wait, and only took Qu Xiaocang and Yan Lingxian to see Qi Ning.

Qi Ning was originally discussing with Xuanyuan Po, but suddenly he received a reply from Qu Xiaocang for a meeting. He was really surprised and waited

When several people arrived in the hall, Qi Ning had already stood up and smiled and said, "Second Brother, why are you here?"

Qu Xiaocang and Yan Lingxian came forward to pay their respects. They looked around and saw that there were no other people. Qu Xiaocang then said softly: "Duke, we have come to recall the Duke and return to Beijing to discuss matters quickly!"

"Return to Beijing to discuss matters?" Qi Ning asked, "But it is because of Qi?"

Qu Xiaocang shook his head and said, "What is the matter? I am not very clear about it, but!" After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "When I saw the emperor, I found that the emperor's complexion was very bad, and it seemed that he was sick!"

Qi Ning suddenly changed his expression and said in a lost voice: "Is sick?" He became worried and immediately asked: "But because there are too many political affairs recently, the emperor has not had a good rest, so!"

"The subordinates dare not speak nonsense." Qu Xiaocang said: "The emperor looks bad, looks weak and weak, and has no strength to speak. When summoning his subordinates, he did not say much. He only asked his subordinates to bring people to recall the Duke, saying that there were some secret matters to discuss, and asked the Duke to rush back as soon as possible."

Xuanyuan Po frowned and said, "Second Junior Brother, you are also a little familiar with the technique of Qihuang. Can't you tell the reason why the emperor is slightly ill?"

"Senior brother, I can only see that the emperor may be sick, but what kind of disease it is, it is really hard to tell." Qu Xiaocang sighed: "The emperor urgently summoned the Duke back to Beijing, which is likely to be related to the dragon's illness."

Qi Ning pondered for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty sent Chi Fengdian to lead the troops, do you know?"

"I know that Chi Fengdian led his troops out of Beijing." Qu Xiaocang said: "The day after Chi Fengdian left Beijing, the emperor summoned me and sent us here. He repeatedly reminded me to ensure the safety of the country and that no mistakes should be allowed. Therefore, I brought several elite soldiers from the Shenhou Mansion to come." He also said to Xuanyuan: "Senior Brother, you will also return to Beijing together this time."

"Is it the Emperor's will?"

Qu Xiaocang shook his head, but whispered: "The emperor is ill of a dragon body. I always feel that it is strange because of this. The Shenhou Mausoleum has gone, and the Shenhou Mansion has no leader. At this time, the eldest brother must return to the capital immediately and stabilize the Shenhou Mansion to prevent other changes in the capital."

Qi Ning and Xuanyuan Po's faces became solemn.

Qu Xiaocang came in person to inform the emperor that he was in good health. This news was extraordinary. Although Qu Xiaocang did not dare to speak nonsense about the emperor's health, as the second senior brother of the Shenhou Mansion, this person was naturally extremely alert. Since he said that there was something strange about this, there must be something unusual.

Qi Ning thought to himself that in the Chu court, there were only two forces that threatened the young emperor, one was the King of Huainan and the other was the Sima family, but both forces have been eradicated. Logically speaking, the situation in the capital should be very stable and there should be no fault.

Suddenly, I felt a little nervous and wondered if there was something wrong with the harem?

He did not forget that the empress of the Great Chu Empire is a native of Qi. Princess Tianxiang married to Chu. The purpose of the purpose of strengthening the alliance between Qi and Chu. The Chu army's northern expedition was such a military and national event, so the empress naturally could not have no news. Once she knew that the emperor had violated the alliance and had even broken the capital of Qi, what would happen to the Empress of the Great Chu who was the princess of Qi?

thought?

The little emperor sent Chi Fengdian to escort Shen Tu Luo back to the capital. Logically speaking, Chi Fengdian could directly send an order to recall him to the capital, but Chi Fengdian did not receive such an order. The little emperor sent someone from the Shenhou Mansion to send an order, which was naturally unusual.

Moreover, the little emperor even told him to protect Qi Ning's comprehensiveness. Is it true that Qi Ning will encounter an accident when he returns to Beijing?

No matter what the reason is, the emperor urgently summoned himself to return to Beijing, and there must be something big. Qi Ning pondered for a moment and finally said, "Second Brother, there is still something to do tonight. Let's set off immediately tomorrow morning."

The last thing that Qi Ning did was of course to meet Shen Tu Luo.

When Qi Ning saw Shen Tu Luo, Shen Tu Luo seemed to have been ready and was waiting in the house. In addition to Shen Tu Luo, the prince of Dongqi Duan Shao was also present.

Duan Shao sat on the chair, as if he wanted to maintain his dignity as the prince of Qi. When Qi Ning entered the house, the prince did not get up. He just stared at Qi Ning with a pair of resentful eyes. He waited for Qi Ning to sit down on the chair opposite and sneered: "I didn't expect that we would meet on such an occasion."

"Your Highness has always been good?" Qi Ning smiled slightly: "I know your Highness may be a little unhappy, but now, what is not important is what will happen in the past. What is important is what will happen in the future."

Shen Tu Luo also sat down on the chair, stared at Qi Ning and said, "I just want to ask you, from now on, can every word you say to us be guaranteed to be fulfilled as promised?"

"If I can't do something, I won't say it tonight!"

"I hope you won't break your promise." Shen Tu Luo said slowly: "You should know that my first condition is to ensure that Your Highness is foolproof."

Qi Ning said: "I [.] The queen of Da Chu is the princess of your country. As long as your highness and the Grand Governor trust us, I can guarantee in the name of Jinyi's family that your highness will not be harmed in Chu State, but the emperor will also be rewarded greatly, at least to ensure that your highness will be worry-free for the rest of his life."

Duan Shao's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to speak but stopped, but he didn't say anything after all.

"In addition, the Chu army has now occupied the land and city of Qi." Shen Tu Luo said: "Your Highness does not want the Chu army to do evil on the land of Qi. After all, the people on the land of Qi were His Highness's people, and His Highness will never sit idly by and watch his people suffer."

Qi Ning nodded and said, "Your Highness surrenders to the Great Chu, so the people of Qi will be the people of Great Chu. Naturally, our Great Chu will not harm our own people. Your Highness and the Great Governor can rest assured about this."

Shen Tuluo looked at Duan Shao. Duan Shao pondered for a moment, and finally sighed. Shen Tuluo took out a letter from his arms and waved it to Qi Ning. Qi Ning reached out to take it. Shen Tuluo said: "The letter has been written. When Linghu Xiang saw this letter, he knew it was written by me. You can check the contents of it. However, after receiving this letter, how Linghu Xiang deals with Puyang's troops is not something I can control."
