a few days later.

Qiu Chen and Yao Xue led the troops, together with Qi Yu, to the Xianling on the border of Yong State.

They stationed their troops in Xianling City, and after a few days of rectification, they were ready to attack Baicheng.

The Liang army had already made sufficient preparations in Baicheng, and the two armies fought several times, but they couldn't tell the winner for a while.

On this day, Qiuchen revised a letter and sent his subordinates to Liangmo's location in Baicheng. He wanted to have a talk with Liangmo.

Qiu Chen informed the whole army about this matter, Qi Yu heard the words, squinted his eyes, looked at Qiu Chen with a leisurely smile and said: "Your Highness, you colluded with King Liang in private like this, you set aside the discipline of the army. where?"

The generals who were attached to Qi Yu heard the words, and they all agreed with him.But Bai Yu Ji Xi and the others stared at Qi Yu, noncommittal to Qi Yu's words.Seeing this, Yao Xue took a step forward calmly, stood by Qiu Chen's side, and glared at Qi Yu.

For half a month, the disagreement between Qiu Chen and Qi Yu has been known to everyone.Qiu Chen advocated a quick battle, but Qi Yu advocated a large-scale conquest.Every time Qiu Chen proposed a method of attacking the city, although Qi Yu agreed on the surface, he went his own way on the battlefield, causing Baicheng to be unable to attack for a long time. On the contrary, it cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and made the army lose their minds.

Qiu Chen knew that Emperor Ningyuan still feared that he was once the Gu King of the Liang Kingdom, and worried that he would once again collude with the forces of the Liang Kingdom, so this time he deliberately lifted Qi Yu's restraint and let him go together. Go ahead and check and balance yourself.

But although Qi Yu also has military power in his hands, he is really not a material for dispatching troops.He is short-sighted, full of prejudice and resentment towards Qiu Chen, and repeatedly finds faults and provokes him.It can be said that Qiuchen's leadership is hindered everywhere, and he has disagreements with many parties.

At this moment, Yao Xue couldn't understand the words, so she saluted Qi Yu and said respectfully: "Forgive me for offending, I suddenly remembered that His Majesty's imperial decree says that His Royal Highness will lead the army, but You don't seem to be the commander, you just lifted the restraint, but you are a member of the army dispatched by His Royal Highness?"

When Qi Yu heard this, a trace of hostility suddenly flashed across his eyes.He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yao Xue with very sharp eyes: "What did you say?"

Yao Xue stared at Qi Yu, her expression calm: "Military orders are greater than the sky, His Highness questioned the commander again and again, do you want to disobey the imperial edict?"

When Qi Yu heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "You!" On weekdays, other people were somewhat afraid of him, and did not dare to openly conflict with him like Yao Xue.But since the other party brought out the imperial decree, even if Qi Yu was angry, he couldn't say anything more.In the end, he had no choice but to cast a gloomy look at Yao Xue, then turned around and left embarrassingly.

Seeing this, Qiuchen raised his hand to gently stroke Yao Xue's back, and sighed a little tiredly.

……

Liang Mo didn't seem to object to meeting Qiu Chen, and soon sent someone to bring a reply.

Two days later, Qiu Chen brought Yao Xue and a few elite troops to the temporary military tent at the junction of Xianling and Baicheng.

Qiu Chen ordered people to stay outside the tent, while he entered the tent by himself.Liang Mo was sitting behind the table at the moment, drinking a cup of tea unhurriedly.

He seemed to have been waiting for Qiu Chen for a long time, when he heard footsteps, he suddenly raised his head.

Qiu Chen and Liang Mo looked at each other, and noticed that the other party had lost a lot of weight, and the eye sockets were even sunken deeply. The eyes were also full of fatigue and worry, without the vitality of a young man.

After all, Qiu Chen was very familiar with the other party, seeing Liang Mo's appearance, he couldn't tell what it was like for a while.In the end, he just pursed his lips, walked to the other side of the table and sat down.

Liang Mo put down the teacup, looked at Qiu Chen, and said expressionlessly: "You said in the letter that you have something important to discuss, what exactly is it? You'd better speak quickly, I don't have so much time for you waste."

Qiu Chen stared at him for a while, and finally said slowly, "Liang Mo, retreat."

When Liang Mo heard this, he immediately glared at Qiu Chen angrily.

Qiu Chen stared into his eyes, and said seriously: "We have been deadlocked for half a month, and you should understand in your heart that this is a fruitless battle."

Hearing this, Liang Mo sneered, looked at Qiu Chen jokingly and said, "You are talking to me here arrogantly, what position are you standing on? You are His Royal Highness, the golden and precious prince of Yong Kingdom." Or the master of the state who used to be arrogant? If your purpose is to promote the prestige of the Yong Kingdom to me, then you can go out now. You are not qualified to teach me here."

After hearing these words, Qiu Chen was not irritated by Liang Mo's attitude, but just looked at Liang Mo calmly and said: "The position I said this is not from the position of the prince of the Yong Kingdom, nor from any other position. Liang Mo, I just want you to recognize the reality. You rashly start a war and break the balance between the two countries, which will not benefit either side at all. In the end, it will be nothing more than a waste of people and money, and countless casualties. No one will benefit from the huge loss of national power and life."

Hearing this, Liang Mo smiled angrily: "Who is that? He said back then that he would be loyal to me, conquer the Yong Kingdom for me, and protect the prosperity of Great Liang? But now that it's really on the battlefield, What are you doing now?"

After hearing this, Qiu Chen was also faintly touched.He clenched his sleeves tightly, looked down at the table, and said in silence for a while: "If you have used all your power to conquer the country this time, just because I deceived you about my identity, then I apologize to you. But this matter, is it true?" My personal affairs have nothing to do with you or Liangguo." When Qiu Chen said this, he couldn't hide his ups and downs: "Over the years, you are one of the few people I have been close to. It's not good to have more than half a point? How can you question everything I have done for Liangguo just because of one identity?"

Qiu Chen clenched his sleeves tightly, and his fingertips turned white: "In the past, you wanted Liang Country to prosper, and you wanted this world. Why didn't I want to help you realize it? But I mentioned it a long time ago, Being poor and weak, it is not appropriate to wantonly expand the territory, but why have you ever listened to it? The bargaining chips of the soldiers guarding all over the place are all on me alone. Even if I don't untie those Gu, when I die one day, the result will still be the same as now. Liangmo, there are some things I have been reluctant to say, but I think it's time for you to wake up. You have always been sober all these years. It is relying on me and resenting me at the same time. My leaving Liangguo has nothing to do with my identity."

When Qiu Chen said this, he raised his head and looked into Liang Mo's eyes: "It's because you don't want me to help you anymore."

When Liang Mo heard this, he hesitated slightly, as if he was touched.With red eyes, he stared fiercely at Qiu Chen, as if looking at some unforgivable enemy.

Qiu Chen saw that Liang Mo still had this attitude, and his heart slowly cooled down.At the same time, he also noticed that Liang Mo's eyes had been looking outside the tent frequently, as if he was paying attention to someone important.

After all, having been with Liang Mo for seven years, Qiu Chen knew that Liang Mo's character had always been like this, always indecisive, weak and selfish.Qiu Chen also knows that Liang Mo is without his support at this moment, and the vitality of the Gu family has been greatly weakened. Most of his days are difficult recently.If it weren't for the frustration and extreme anger in his heart, the opponent would never have used his national power to lead troops to defeat Yong.

Thinking of this, Qiu Chen closed his eyes helplessly.To this day, too much blood has been stained on his hands, and he has done many wrong things, so he doesn't want to see meaningless bloodshed and sacrifices anymore.

So Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at Liang Mo, and said sincerely: "Your Highness, for your own sake and for Fei Yue's sake, retreat."

Hearing Qiu Chen calling himself that, Liang Mo's eyes trembled violently.

In the few years when he first met Qiu Chen, Qiu Chen always called him with a smile like this, healed him, and accompanied Liang Feiyue to read and play.

At this moment, Liang Mo suddenly wanted to go back to that time.

Qiu Chen saw that Liang Mo was slightly moved, and said seriously: "If you withdraw your troops, I can assure you that for many years to come, as long as I am still alive, the two countries will always live in peace."

Although Emperor Ningyuan had great ambitions and wanted to annex the Liang Kingdom, Qiu Chen also had enough bargaining chips in his hands to contend with him, but the time had not yet come.

Liang Mo's eyes flickered at this moment, as if he was very shaken.He gripped the edge of the table tightly with his knuckles, was silent for a while, and finally said: "I don't believe you."

He said, raised his head and looked at Qiu Chen, his eyes were slightly red: "I can't believe you."

Qiu Chen just pursed his lips when he heard the words, as if he was not surprised by this answer.He knew Liang Mo too well, and he never expected the other party to listen to what he said in his heart.However, what he said today came from the bottom of his heart.He just wanted to give himself a happy ending to the past seven years in Liang Country.

At the same time, Liang Mo seemed to have made up his mind, and tremblingly said to Qiu Chen: "Just leave all the choices to the battlefield."

Qiu Chen looked at Liang Mo, speechless for a while.At this moment, he finally felt that the past seven years, the time he cherished so much, finally collapsed at that moment just now, and the raised sand and gravel were blown away by the wind, and finally turned into dust.

After saying all this, Qiu Chen actually felt some joy that he hadn't seen for a long time. He finally stood up, and his voice was calm and undisturbed: "Then we will be enemies if we go out of this door."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to go out the door when he heard Liang Mo stand up abruptly, even knocking his teacup to the ground.

When the cup touched the hard ground, it shattered with a "snap" in an instant.With a trembling voice, Liang Mo shouted unwillingly behind Qiu Chen: "Obviously you said it, whatever I want, you will get it for me at all costs! You obviously said it!" He blushed , There was an expression of grievance that only appeared when he was 17 years old.

Qiu Chen stopped walking when he heard this.He stood there for a while without turning his head, but said softly: "I'm sorry, I broke my promise."

After Qiu Chen finished speaking, he leaned over and walked out of the military tent.

……

Liang Mo slumped back to his chair, staring fixedly at the table, unable to speak for a long time.

Not long after, someone walked into the tent lightly.

The man came to the table and slowly took off his hood, revealing a shrewd and somewhat cruel face.

Liang Mo didn't seem surprised to see Qi Yu, he sighed, raised his hand to caress his temple, said with a headache, "You're here."

Qi Yu smiled, sat down before the case, looked at Liang Mo and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you shaken?"

Hearing this, Liang Mo raised his head to look at Qi Yu, frowned and said, "Did you hear that?"

Qi Yu looked at Liang Mo leisurely: "What? Your Majesty doesn't want me to hear it?"

Qi Yu is shrewd and ruthless. Although he treats Liang Mo respectfully at the moment, his eyes are full of oppression.After all, Liang Mo is still young, and he is not mature enough in dealing with people. In the end, he just looked at Qi Yu, turned his eyes away and said, "Of course not."

Qi Yu smiled with satisfaction, and said: "This man is treacherous and vicious, Your Majesty, don't be fooled by his rhetoric."

Liang Mo just pursed his lips, as if he was thinking about something.

When Qi Yu saw this, there was no emotion on his face.He leaned over to bring a new teacup, filled it up, and handed it to Liang Mo: "Your Majesty, what have you thought about what I told you earlier?"

Liang Mo looked at the cup of tea in Qi Yu's hand, but didn't take it for a long time.

Earlier, Qi Yu had come to look for Liang Mo.

At that time, Qi Yu directly presented the topographic map of Yong State to Liang Mo. He told Liang Mo that after Qiu Chen returned to Yong State, he not only acted arrogantly, but also tortured/killed the old emperor. He saw that Yong State is now in dire straits In the middle, I felt very anxious, but there was nothing I could do.This time the two armies are fighting, and it is hard to tell the winner, but if Liang Mo can help him to ascend to the throne, he will definitely dedicate all the land north of the Baicheng City of Yong State to Liang State in the future, and he will give it as a gift There are also countless gold and silver treasures and eternal friendship.

Liangguo has shown signs of decline recently, and Liangmo was already a little bit battered, so he was naturally quite moved after hearing this.But he didn't completely trust Qi Yu, so he didn't agree for a long time.

I think Qi Yu came here today because of this matter.

Sure enough, Qi Yu said again: "If Your Majesty is considerate, I can choose a day to bring an army of one hundred thousand and defect to Liangguo. We will capture Baicheng, pass Xiaxi, and take Yanyang directly."

After hearing this, Liang Mo felt that it was quite feasible.But when he thought of Qiu Chen, he asked again: "In your army, you are not the commander in chief. How can you guarantee that all the [-] troops will listen to your orders?"

Hearing this, Qi Yu smiled slightly, stood up, bowed to Liang Mo, and said very respectfully: "Whether this great cause will be successful or not depends entirely on Your Majesty."

Liang Mo frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

Qi Yu said: "You only need to get rid of that prince, and everything will be ready, and you will be close to success."

Liang Mo stared at Qi Yu, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think?" Qi Yu saw that Liang Mo had been shaken, and said unhurriedly: "I have always heard that Liang Country is good at poison, and it is the world's number one poison country. There are many unheard of secret medicines in the royal family. The prince has excellent medical skills and is good at gu skills, and even ordinary things can't harm him. But... if there is a strange poison from the Liang Kingdom, even if he is a miracle doctor reincarnated , I’m afraid I can’t help myself.”

Liang Mo heard this, stared at Qi Yu for a while, and finally said: "You want to kill him?"

Qi Yu looked at him leisurely: "If there is no him, then the great cause will come easily. And your majesty, your sister, I heard that she has always been in love with the hussar general, and there have been rumors that the princess is quite infatuated. It's up to him. If the prince is dealt with, Her Highness the Princess can get what she wants."

When Liang Mo heard this, his heart was shaken even more.Since Liang Feiyue was rejected in Qingchi last time, her spirits have been sluggish, a little depressed, and she has lost her former vitality.

Qi Yu's conditions are beneficial but not harmful, and the only hesitation in Liang Mo's heart is Qiu Chen.What Qiu Chen said to him just now always reminded Liang Mo of the past. Although he had hatred in his heart, he still couldn't bear it.

Seeing that Liang Mo didn't speak for a long time, Qi Yu understood.He looked Liang Mo up and down with those eagle-like eyes, and finally said: "Your Majesty, emperors have been ruthless since ancient times. I know that you have always been kind and soft-hearted, and kind to others. But for an unnecessary person, you don't want to stay It is a pity that I will be judged by others as a cowardly and courageous king in the future. Besides, what the prince said to you just now, isn’t it also a confirmation that without him, you will definitely achieve nothing? "

Qi Yu's words, like a cold arrow, hit the most vulnerable and deadly place in Liang Mo's heart.

He closed his eyes, finally made up his mind, took out a vial from his sleeve, and handed it to Qi Yu.

"This poison is called mad blood poison. It is colorless and tasteless, and cannot be detected with silver needles. Mix it with food and take it. Within half an hour, the toxin will crawl all over the meridians, and blood will ooze from all parts of the body. He died suddenly on the spot. In addition," Liang Mo said here, he paused and said: "Once this poison is taken, the blood in the whole body will be highly poisonous. If anyone wants to rescue the poisoned person at this moment, once Touching the other party's blood will also lead to sudden death."

Liang Mo lowered his eyes, and his eyes were dim and unclear: "This is the secret poison passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of Liang Kingdom. It is violent and has no antidote. This kind of poison is usually aimed at masters who control Gu or use poison. Throughout the ages, no one can do it." enemy. Therefore, this poison is also called Raksha poison."

There has always been a legend in Liangguo that people who use Rakshasa poison on others will bear the curse for life after life.

But since you can't go back to the past, let's erase it.

Liang Mo stared at the vial resentfully, secretly thinking in his heart, he must win this battle, and he must make all those who look down on him bow down to him.
