Daqin: At the beginning, he was ordered to serve the beautiful queen mother

He has always been quite confident in his strength and aptitude, but ever since he met Lao Ai, he has been at a disadvantage.

Lao Ai was two years older than him, but her strength was beyond his reach.

"Hehe, thanks to Your Excellency's care, I can't die for the time being."

Lai Ai didn't expect this guy to be so angry, she couldn't help but chuckled, then sat down by the window, and said calmly, "Would you like to sit down and have a drink?"

Naturally, Jing Ke would not back down, and strode up to sit down in front of Lao Ai.

Lao Ai added a cup of tea for him, and said with a smile, "The tea in this restaurant tastes pretty good. I heard that Brother Jing Ke also frequents it."

Jing Ke glanced at the tea in the cup, and couldn't help but look at Lai Ai again.

Since that trip to Luoyi, when his junior sister Li Ji and the person in front of him had a tryst on a rainy night, Li Ji seemed to be a different person. She was in a daze all day long, and stood upstairs in a daze when she had nothing to do. Dazed.

No longer lively and cheerful, carefree.

He felt depressed for no reason, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice: "Although I often visit this place, I only drink alcohol and never drink tea."

Lao Ai laughed and said, "Wine smells like wine, and tea smells like tea."

As he spoke, he held the teacup in his hand, sniffed it lightly, and took a sip on his lips. He couldn't help showing aftertaste, and said thoughtfully: "Heroes are like wine, and wine is a song, beauty is like tea, sweet It's like honey."

"Although you grew up with her, it's just a brother and sister relationship after all. I only met twice, and she fell in love with me in just two nights, like a fascination."

Jing Ke's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "I admit that I admire you very much, among the younger generation in the world, you are indeed amazing and talented, but I hate you not because of jealousy.

It's because of you that she, who was once innocent and innocent, became melancholy and preoccupied. "

"Since you know that Master will not allow you to be with her, why do you still provoke her? Let her be caught in the middle and make her suffer?"

Lai Ai chuckled lightly, and said lightly: "She is my beloved woman, you just need to pursue your own dreams and be your Jing Ke hero, and don't bother you about her affairs."

While talking, she took another sip of tea and said with a smile: "It won't be long before she will turn back into the girl who dared to love and hate, with a smile all over the world. In this life, Lai will definitely taste her well."

Hearing this, Jing Ke was furious, stared at Lai Ai coldly, endured and endured, finally suppressed the anger in his heart, snorted coldly, and felt that his words were not speculative, so he had no intention of going on, saying: "Farewell .”

However, Lao Ai laughed and said: "Coincidentally, I am going to visit General Gongsun, so I would like to trouble Brother Jing Ke to inform me."

Jing Ke frowned and said: "I heard that Qin Wangzheng has sent Meng Ao with [-] troops to attack the state of Wei. At this time, you are a powerful Qin general. Why are you visiting my master?"

Lao Ai laughed and said, "Don't you know later?"

After finishing speaking, he moved his body slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared in place, and the next moment, he appeared like a ghost fifty feet away, at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Xu Shi's appearance was so ghostly that she frightened the guards at the gate of the General's Mansion. They drew their knives out of their sheaths and looked at him warily.

The leader even shouted: "Who?!"

Although his face was fierce, his mouth was dry with fright, and the hand holding the knife began to sweat coldly.

Although he is only a commander of gatekeepers, he is also from the Jianghu, third-rate martial arts, but he also knows the horror of the Jianghu masters.

Lai Ai stood silently at the gate, after a while Jing Ke came over, first gave Lai Ai a cold look, and then strode into the door.

Half a quarter of an hour later, I saw Jing Ke walking quickly, and said in a deep voice to Lai Ai, "Lao Ai, my master is waiting for you in the living room."

Lai Ai nodded amusedly, thinking that the old man was quite airy.

But since he wanted to abduct his stunning granddaughter who had been raised for more than ten years, he naturally wouldn't care about it.

Following Jing Ke into the General's Mansion, Lai Ai couldn't help but look at him curiously.

The Gongsun family is an aristocrat of the Wei Kingdom. They have accumulated a lot of money for several generations. The family property is not small. In the spacious courtyard, the entrance of the main hall can be seen far away, and an old figure is standing silently.

Lao Ai stepped forward slowly, then bowed her hands and said: "Younger Lao Ai, I pay my respects to Old General Gongsun."

Gongsun Yu sneered, and said in a deep voice, "Don't dare, General Qiang Qin came to the humble house, what advice do you have?"

Lai Ai laughed and said, "Why, General Gongsun didn't invite the younger generation to sit in?"

As he spoke, without waiting for his answer, he passed Gongsun Yu and walked straight into the hall.

Seeing that he was so calm and composed, Gongsun Yu sat in the guest seat unceremoniously, also frowned, turned around and walked into the hall, sat down at the first place, and said calmly, "Major general, can you speak now?"

Lai Ai smiled and said, "I came here for two things."

"The first one is public, which is the upcoming war between Qin and Wei, and the second one is private, which is the matter between me and Ling's granddaughter Li Ji."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly looked at the door of the living room, and then couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, and smiled brightly.

Chapter 242 The King of the City

At the entrance of the hall of Gongsun Mansion, a girl in a long red dress suddenly appeared in Lao Ai's sight.

This most beautiful woman in the world, this stunning girl with a rare beauty, was holding the door frame with her hand, and staring at her bewilderedly.

Even if there is no make-up, no make-up, even black hair, disheveled and haggard, there is still a beauty that overwhelms all living beings.

When Gongsunnu saw her granddaughter, she immediately frowned and said with displeasure, "Li'er, what are you doing here? Go back soon!"

"No need~"

After finally seeing each other, how could Lao Ai let this old boy ruin his marriage?

Immediately stood up, and slowly walked in front of Gongsun Liji, looking at the much thinner girl in front of him, his heart was full of pity and distress, he gently stretched out his hand to stroke her haggard face, and said softly: "Silly girl, why are you so thin?" so much?"

Gongsun Li seemed to feel the tenderness of her sweetheart, she couldn't help but smile sadly, she just felt that the tens of days of longing would not be in vain with just one word from the king.

These days, she has undoubtedly had a very painful life.

If it's like an ordinary lover, even if it's Xiaobie, even if we don't see each other for a year or two, it's nothing.

But she is different from Lai Ai, what makes her painful is not the separation between the two, or the distance between the two, but the obstruction of her grandfather, and the confrontation between the two countries.

She is not an ordinary weak woman who "does not have the strength to restrain a chicken", nor is she a young lady who "does not touch the sun and spring water", but a heroine with strong family and country feelings, tolerance and courage.

Originally, she could be a heroic heroine like Huang Rong in later generations, serving the country and family, but now, she is hopelessly in love with the people of Qin, unable to extricate herself.

Especially when he knew that he had been named a general by the king of Qin, he was so painful that he couldn't think about food and drink, and couldn't sleep.

Lai Ai took Gongsun Li's hand and came to the hall to sit down, then said softly: "I know your pain, and I understand your thoughts, Li'er, do you believe me?"

Gongsun Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, her messy hair still couldn't hide her stunning beauty, adding a bit of messy beauty.

Lao Ai smiled and said: "The battle between Qin and Wei is inevitable. As I am, I don't need to come here. General Meng Ao is a famous general in the world. He has fought countless battles and made outstanding achievements. With him leading a hundred thousand Qin troops, The Kingdom of Wei is simply vulnerable."

"But I'm still here. First, I want to take you away to protect you and your family. I don't want you to die here in vain. Second, I can also restrain the Qin army to avoid harming civilians and causing excessive killings."

Seeing this, Gongsun Yu said in a cold voice: "Don't be hypocritical here, you Qin army wants to destroy our country of Wei, even if you come, the soldiers of our country of Wei are all warriors who will fight to the death. I will not marry my granddaughter to you."

Lai Ai laughed and said: "I came here alone this time, so I won't return empty-handed. I'm going to make a deal for the country of Wei. Li Ji, since she and I are in love, I'm also married. No one can stop her." No."

Gongsun Yu said with a sneer, "The General has such a big tone."

Lai Ai said indifferently: "I thought that General Gongsun was the descendant of Guigu, and his knowledge must be extraordinary. I didn't expect it. He is also a person who does not distinguish between public and private."

Gongsun Yu said: "Are you trying to say that the matter between you and Li Ji is a private matter and has nothing to do with Qin and Wei?"

Lai Ai said: "Isn't it? Public is public, private is private. The matter of Qin and Wei is originally a matter of vassal hegemony and conquest by other countries. Since war is inevitable, it is a matter of civil and military affairs of the two countries and the soldiers on the battlefield.

Li Ji is neither civil and military in the courts of the two countries, nor a soldier in the battlefield, but the general wants to resist the wishes of his granddaughter and ruin her happiness for this. "

Gongsun Yu said: "It is about the survival of the family and the country. I have always been selfless. This general is the commander of the Wei country. Since she is my granddaughter, she cannot marry the general of the enemy country."

"Hehe~"

Lai Ai laughed, and directly resorted to the ultimate move: "The general is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and the younger generation admires it. However, the Qin army will come to the city in less than ten days. Presumably the court of Weiguo already knows and has made a decision?"

Gongsun Yu snorted and said, "So what? Although the Qin army is strong and numerous, since Meng Ao led the troops to confront the Wei soldiers, our country of Wei has already assembled the army and prepared for war with sufficient resources. What is there to be afraid of?"

Lai Ai sneered, and said indifferently: "The general's righteousness is awe-inspiring, but if I guessed correctly, Wei Junzhen knew that it would be difficult to resist the Qin army, and he was already preparing to pack up the gold and silver treasures, take his concubine and children, and prepare to abandon the country and flee right?"

Gongsun Yu stared at Lai Ai indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter? The Lord's safety is more important than Puyang. If you don't leave, do you want to stay here and be slaughtered by you and other beasts?"

Lai Ai laughed and said: "So Wei Jun just survived, and the soldiers died in battle?"

Gongsun Yu said: "This general is deeply favored by the king, and he must be loyal to repay it. Since the king has entrusted the old man with the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital, this old man is the last hope for all the soldiers and people in Weiguo who are unwilling to submit to the strong Qin. So, even if you die in battle, you will die well.”

Lao Ai sneered and said, "It's a good death."

"I know that the general is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and he doesn't care about glory and wealth. When people talk about it, they say that the general is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness. He dies in righteousness and is admired by the world."

As he said that, he changed the topic, but said: "However, in my eyes, the general is just someone who is trying to gain fame. In order to preserve his reputation and integrity, he has trapped the people, soldiers and even the royal family of the Wei Kingdom in the flames of war."

Jing Ke said angrily: "Nonsense, it's all about you people from Qin who have the heart of tigers and wolves, killing and killing innocent people everywhere. Without you, why would our soldiers defending our country fight to the end?"

Lai Ai snorted coldly and said: "Since Zhou divided the world, the law of the jungle has always been the law of the jungle, and the overlord survives. How many people have destroyed the country for hundreds of years?

A small defending country, a land of one city, the country is weak and has few soldiers, but it is only a vassal, lingering, should have been replaced by others, other people's countries can be destroyed, but you can't defend the country? "

He said, and said: "The general will die for the country with his body, fulfill the righteousness, and leave his name in history. But I want to ask, even King Wei has to run, and it is only a matter of time before he surrenders. The war could have been avoided in the first place, and the city will be destroyed. Danger can also be resolved.

But because of you, Qin and Wei can only fight one battle because of your reputation. The power of the two sides is very different.How many people who used to defend the country were killed?Will it even implicate the royal family of Wei? "

Gongsun Yu said: "As a soldier, it is the duty of a soldier to defend the family and the country, and to die in battle. How can you understand that you are a martial artist?"

Seeing that the two were arguing fiercely, Gongsun Liji on the side was a little worried, fearing that Lao Ai's words would be too harsh and his grandfather would not be able to bear it, so he stretched out his hand to pull Lai Ai.

In fact, she was also very conflicted in her heart, not knowing which of the two was right and which was wrong.

But in the final analysis, it is nothing more than different positions and different ideas.

Lao Ai signaled that she did not need to worry, then looked at Gongsun Yu and asked, "But are they just soldiers? Besides soldiers, they are also sons, husbands, and fathers.

A war that could have been avoided has been intensified because of the general. In the name of your loyalty, how many old people will lose their children, women will lose their husbands, and young children will lose their fathers? "

"At that time, the whole country of Wei will be like the battle of Changping back then. Countless soldiers will die in vain, parents will have no children to support, women will have no husbands to support, and children will have no parents?"

Gongsun Yu's old eyes were wide open, he was panting heavily with anger, and said with a smile: "Then what you see, do you want me to surrender without fighting?"

Lao Ai said: "Just like the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the city was opened and surrendered. Although Zhou was destroyed, the people in the city lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Luoyi prospered, which is better than before. Isn't it the best result for the people in the city?"

Then he said to Jing Ke and Li Ji: "You have also been to Luoyi not long ago. Is what I said wrong?"

Chapter 243 I forgot to eat

Hearing this, Jing Ke thought of the prosperity of Luoyi, and his original heart of following his master to fight to the death, couldn't help hesitating.

He looked at Lao Ai with some surprise, and really felt that this person's insight was absolutely extraordinary, his eloquence was even better than his martial arts, he just talked about it in a restaurant outside, and he was shaken by what he said.

After some words at this moment, even Master Gongsun Yu, a descendant of Guigu, began to be dumbfounded by his words.

After a moment of silence in the venue, Lao Ai suddenly got up, bowed her hands and said: "The words just now may have been too aggressive, please forgive me seniors, but the authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear."

"Those who have always been great are for the country, but also for the people. Since King Wei already has the idea of ​​fleeing, but I want to ask, where can he escape to?

I think he must have had the idea of ​​surrendering the city. If the general really cares about the people, please think again. "

As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. His handsome face showed a rare expression of compassion: "Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States period was divided into seven heroes. General Gongsun, the world has been in chaos for hundreds of years. How many people died, how many families were destroyed, how many children were displaced?"

"Heh, in ancient times and in the world today, people suffer in prosperity, and people suffer in death."

Gongsun Yu, Jing Ke and Li Ji all looked at him in surprise, they didn't expect Lai Ai to say such words, it was far from the Lai Ai in their impression.

Although he has different positions and views, Gongsun Yu still has a great change in his opinion of Lai Ai.

Not to mention Gongsun Liji, those eyes that were as beautiful as the moon in the sky couldn't help but sparkle with splendor.

After finishing speaking, Lai Ai turned around slowly, looked at Gongsun Liji and said, "There is a beautiful woman who I will never forget when I see her. If I don't see her for a day, I will miss her like crazy."

"After meeting King Wei tomorrow, I will personally come to Najib to ask for an appointment, and the day after tomorrow, I will come to marry Li Ji!"

The tone of Lao Ai's speech is no longer asking for a discussion, but as if directly making an announcement.

After Gongsun Yu was speechless for a while, Jing Ke completely stayed where he was, while Li Ji lowered her head shyly, and her snow-white cheeks became rosy.

After speaking, he said again: "I don't have a mansion in Puyang, and Li Ji and I can only rely on the General's Mansion in the future. If there is any trouble, please forgive me, General. I think Li Ji and I will only rely on it for a few days at most."

"In addition, the general is old and the strong man is in his twilight years. It is best to leave with us, husband and wife, and enjoy our old age peacefully."

After saying that, the three of them were left dumbfounded, not knowing what to do, he suddenly disappeared from the spot, and in the blink of an eye, he had already appeared twenty feet away like a ghost.

Then disappeared in place again, almost at the same time, appeared at the gate without a sound, and disappeared from the same place again the next moment.

The whole set of movements is like ghosts and ghosts, flowing clouds and flowing water, like a banished fairy, strolling in the garden, unpredictable.

Almost at the same time, his somewhat ethereal voice came from outside the courtyard.

"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wipe out the heroes. Whether it is success or failure is turned around. The green hills are still there, and the sunset is red several times.
