Adore Trick of Beauty

What Xiao Fengqing said was all nonsense. After hearing this, Gu Qinghong smiled bitterly and said softly: "Yes, it's not unfair to me."

He raised his eyes and looked directly at Xiao Fengqing with a calm look: "If His Highness Prince Rui can eliminate the hatred in his heart by scolding me like this, then Qinghong will accept it without any complaints. As long as His Highness does not interfere with the borrowing of troops."

Xiao Fengqing looked at him looking upright and upright, and she felt more and more disgusted in her heart. She sneered: "I really don't have any free time to entertain you. I just want to remind you that Nie Wushuang is no longer what she used to be. The more you try to harm her, the more the emperor will cherish her. . She is now a concubine, Gu Qinghong, do you regret letting her go?"

Do you regret it? ... Gu Qinghong lowered his eyes, unable to hide the sadness in his eyes any longer. He had asked himself this question thousands of times. Do you regret doing all this?

However, among so many things, which one does he really regret? He suddenly laughed faintly. He prides himself on being resourceful, but he has countless calculations and plans. His only regret is that he forgot to count her out.

He thought that if he let her go, at most she would live in the countryside and never return to the capital. Even if he feels guilty, secretly helping her can give her a place to stay. However, she left Qi State so decisively, traveled thousands of miles, and embarked on a road that he had never dreamed of...

All this can only be said that things are unpredictable, and even if you want to regret it, it is too late.

"Xiang Gu, I've been waiting for a long time." A clear voice came. Gu Qinghong raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Xiao Fengming wearing a dark green cloak, walking slowly towards Feng in the moonlight.

The guards on both sides knelt down to greet him, and then silently retreated, guarding where the three of them could not see.

Gu Qinghong stood up and bowed: "Meet His Majesty the Emperor."

Xiao Fengming sat by the fire and waved his hand gently: "Pingshen. I haven't seen you for a few months, and Prime Minister Gu is already the most powerful prime minister in the Three Kingdoms."

Gu Qinghong sat across from the fire, looking at Xiao Fengming's calm and calm face under the firelight in front of him. For the first time, he felt that he was facing a difficulty that was more difficult to overcome than the Qin army's siege.

"Your Majesty, I brought something today." Gu Qinghong thought about it for a long time and then spoke slowly and solemnly.

"What thing?" Xiao Fengming smiled: "Something that Mr. Gu can bring from all the way must be good."

Gu Qinghong took out a roll of bright yellow silk from his arms and slowly unfolded it in front of Xiao Fengming: "Today I bring to your Majesty an imperial edict from our emperor."

When Xiao Fengming saw clearly the imperial edict displayed in front of him, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes in surprise: "A blank imperial edict?"

"Yes, I have sacrificed my life to obtain a blank imperial edict from my emperor. As long as His Majesty is willing to borrow troops, His Majesty can ask me to write anything you want on it, whether it is gold, silver, jewelry, or border trade. Or the land or mineral veins..." He said slowly, cherishing each word carefully: "As long as it does not endanger my emperor's throne, your Majesty can choose all of Qi. As long as your Majesty is willing to lend troops!"

This condition is too generous. It can be said that the Emperor of Qi has used everything in Qi as a bargaining chip for this loan transaction. The scene fell silent for a while, so quiet that only the sound of the bonfire could be heard. Gu Qinghong stared into Xiao Fengming's eyes, sweat gradually forming on his palms. He really had no confidence in convincing Xiao Fengming in front of him. He was more calculating and unpredictable than anyone he had ever met.

Xiao Fengming suddenly smiled lightly: "I seem to be unable to refuse Prime Minister Gu's request."

Gu Qinghong's words had made it clear, and the only remaining question was whether he was willing to lend troops. Xiao Fengming stood up, gathered up his cloak, and said gently: "The night is cool and windy. If you don't worry, I can stay a few more days."

Gu Qinghong knew that Xiao Fengming was always cautious. This matter of borrowing troops was of great importance and had to be reconsidered. At this time, for Qi Guo, no matter how small the hope is, it is still hope, and he must not let it go easily. Thinking about it, he stood up and said in a deep voice: "Three days, I can only stay for three more days. After three days, I can only return to Qi. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Xiao Fengming looked at Gu Qinghong in front of him and sighed slightly in his heart: "I admire Prime Minister Gu for his dedication and dedication to the country. However, I still want to advise Prime Minister Gu not to be too rigid in his actions. If the Qi State fails, the Ying State will still treat Prime Minister Gu as if he were on the throne. Enter guests."

This sentence is quite clear. Gu Qinghong was shocked and couldn't help but look up at Xiao Fengming. A heavy sadness passed through his heart: It turned out that Xiao Fengming was not optimistic about Qi Guo's victory in this war. After a long time, he whispered: "Thanks to Your Majesty for not giving up, but I am only a minister of Qi State, and I dare not have any second thoughts."

"Pedantry!" Xiao Fengqing, who had not spoken for a long time, mocked coldly: "Sure enough, only scholars can be pedantic."

"Seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence is not pedantic." Gu Qinghong's pale face was already calm: "Everyone has his own ambitions. My emperor treats Qinghong like heaven and father, and Qinghong dare not abandon him."

Xiao Fengming looked at him regretfully: "Then don't force it." He cherished Gu Qinghong's talent, but if he really couldn't ask for it, he wouldn't force it anymore.

Xiao Fengming turned around and said calmly: "I will give Prime Minister Gu an answer in three days." After that, he slowly disappeared into the darkness just as he came.

…

Nie Wushuang listened to the whistling wind on the grassland and still couldn't sleep peacefully while lying in the tent. She thought for a while, lit the lamp on the low table beside the couch, put on her clothes and stood up.

Xia Lan saw the light and hurriedly came in: "Do you have any instructions?"

Nie Wushuang thought of what he saw during the day and couldn't help but feel irritated: "Where is Deshun? Are you back?"

Xia Lan said: "Empress Qi has not come back yet."

Nie Wushuang looked at the Jade Rabbit in the sky through the gap in the tent.

Xizhui said in a cold voice: "Ask him to come see me as soon as he comes back!"

Xia Lan was about to say that it was getting late at this time, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate, but when she saw Nie Wushuang's solemn look, she didn't dare to say anything more and could only retreat silently. Nie Wushuang slowly looked at the books he had brought with him under the light of the big lamp on the other side, his eyebrows furrowed.

After a while, there were chaotic footsteps outside the tent, and Xia Lan whispered: "Mother, Deshun is back."

Nie Wushuang straightened up quickly: "Quick, let him in!"

Deshun came in trembling. As soon as he came in, he knelt down and said: "All the slaves have seen...look...saw the person the empress mentioned."

Although Nie Wushuang knew that what she expected was good, hearing it with her own ears was another matter. Her voice tightened: "Who did he meet?"

Deshun lowered his voice: "He met the emperor and Prince Rui..."

Sure enough! There was an undercurrent in Nie Wushuang's heart, and he couldn't help but clenched his palms, and said for a long time, "Go down. I have many rewards!"

After she uttered these words, she was stunned. Deshun glanced at her and quietly retreated.

The tent was warm, but her heart was full of mixed feelings. Gu Qinghong is here! Came so fast! It seems that Qi State has reached the point of great urgency. What should she do next?

She thought for a while, called Xia Lan, gave these few instructions, and before Xia Lan could object, she dressed up. After a while, she had changed into Xia Lan's clothes, her long hair was tied into the double bun often worn by palace maids, and she walked quickly outside the tent.

The night was very dark, and stepping on the soft grass felt like stepping on clouds. She felt uneasy and couldn't help walking with her head down. When the guard passing by on patrol saw that she was a palace maid, he didn't take it seriously. He only stepped forward and asked her a few words before letting her go.

Nie Wushuang kicked deep and shallow, and finally came to a spacious tent. There was still a candle burning in the tent, and it was obvious that the owner of the tent was not resting. Nie Wushuang took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Who is coming?" the guard in front of the tent shouted.

Nie Wushuang took out the token in his arms and gestured. The guard stepped aside silently. Nie Wushuang calmed down, put away the token, and stepped in.

Opening the tent, a faint fragrance mixed with warm air hit his face. Nie Wushuang raised his eyes to look at the situation inside the tent, his eyelids twitching involuntarily. On the soft cushion, Xiao Fengqing's snow-white cheeks were slightly flushed, and his clothes were half-opened, revealing a small piece of strong and fair skin. He was leaning back and drinking sip after sip. His long hair had been unraveled and spread like a splash of ink. On her shoulders, there were boots and hairpins scattered randomly on the ground, just like the ones she had seen in the palace before, with an extremely handsome and strange look in her laziness.

Nie Wushuang saw that his brows were furrowed and his expression was gloomy, so he silently stepped forward to pick up his hairpin.

Xiao Fengqing probably thought she was a maid, so she ignored her and just drank sip after sip. The wine flowed from his lips to his chest, soaking a large piece of clothes on his chest.

Nie Wushuang stepped forward with complicated eyes: "Why is Your Highness drinking alone?"

Xiao Fengqing glanced sideways at her. She was startled at first, and then smiled: "When did your Majesty become interested in caring about what I do?"

He looked at her clothes frivolously, and immediately understood how she got here, and couldn't help but giggle: "Have you missed my king's wine?"

He stood up, walked to her, and narrowed his deep and narrow eyes: "Was it that night..."

Nie Wushuang thought about the night he broke into her tent when he first arrived in the grassland, and his face couldn't help but blush: "I come here because I have something to ask His Highness."

Seeing her serious expression, Xiao Fengqing snorted boredly and still leaned crookedly on the soft cushion: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Nie Wushuang thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and asked: "Gu Qinghong came to borrow troops, what did the emperor say?"

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Fengqing licked the wine stains on her lips and smiled carelessly: "What did the Emperor think? You should ask the Emperor. What's the point of asking me? The two emperors and concubines went on a night trip. Grassland, I took you with me to do such boring things. It proves that your Majesty is already the one in his heart, why would you bother asking this king, an outsider?"

What he said was full of mockery, and Nie Wushuang couldn't help but frown: "Your Highness knows that I cannot ask."

Xiao Fengqing turned around coldly after hearing this, half-smiling: "To tell you the truth, I don't know either. But I know that Gu Qinghong brought a good thing this time. If I were the emperor, would it be a lie to say that I am not impressed?"

"Is this the ceding of land that His Highness said?" Nie Wushuang was worried and asked in a voice, "Is it true?"

"Better conditions than ceding land." Xiao Fengqing took a big sip of wine, and a very complicated look passed through her cold eyes: "It is a blank imperial edict, and anything the emperor wants can be written down on it. Land, mineral deposits, Border customs and trade..."

Nie Wushuang's heart skipped a beat and then sank. Gu Qinghong was indeed cruel. Such conditions of losing power and humiliating the country can be used as bargaining chips for an agreement. I'm afraid Xiao Fengming will also be tempted this time.

Nie Wushuang was lost in thought. Xiao Fengqing drank the last sip of wine and exhaled. He said bitterly: "He is indeed a troublesome guy!"

A deep anger flashed in his eyes: "I didn't expect the Emperor of Qi to trust him so much."

Nie Wushuang had mixed feelings in his heart. The Emperor of Qi might have made such a desperate move because he was ill and sought medical treatment. However, it could also be seen that Gu Qinghong had already made heavy preparations for coming to Yingguo from a long distance away.

"What should I do?" Nie Wushuang looked pale. If Qi and Ying reach an agreement, it means that Ying will go to war with Qin first, and her eldest brother will have to help Qi attack Qin. Such a result is not hers at all. and her eldest brother want

of.

"What else can I do? I can only let you convince the emperor not to be tempted." Xiao Feng's green eyes contained sarcasm: "Now it depends on the charm of Bibi, let's blow the pillow."

Nie Wushuang glared at him fiercely when he heard this and sneered: "Is this how Your Highness views the Emperor? If the Emperor is just greedy for the beauty of the Emperor, Wushuang can give it a try, but what kind of person the Emperor is, doesn't Your Highness still know? I can only blame His Highness for not driving Gu Qinghong back on his way to Yingguo earlier!"

She was blaming him. Xiao Fengqing's beautiful brows raised, and the veins on her forehead twitched: "Do you think this king is a fool? I have sent people to stop him a long time ago, but Gu Qinghong is surrounded by dead soldiers this time. Do you think he is relying on a broken car?" With a carriage, a groom, and a young girl, do you dare to enter the country alone?"

"He made all the arrangements when he set out from Tongzhou! He took care of every road he took and every intersection he stopped at. If he hadn't gotten sick and delayed for three days on the way, I wouldn't have been able to trace his whereabouts!" Xiao Fengqing was extremely annoyed. . After all, he still underestimated Gu Qinghong.

Nie Wushuang was speechless. She had seen Xiao Fengqing's methods, but even Xiao Fengqing couldn't beat Gu Qinghong. How could she stop what he was going to do?

Thinking about it, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart: Why were the people around her thinking more deeply than the other...
