The queen cried the whole harem

After praising Chen Hong, he asked Chen Dongyan again. Xie also said: "With this great victory at Qingjiang Pass, can Dongyan come back? Why didn't he come back with you?"

When Chen Dongyan was dismissed from office and expelled from Beijing, he went to Jiuguan and Jiucheng and became a governor. Everyone in the Chen family knew the inside story.

Although Chen Dongyan may not come back after leaving, if the Nine Passes and Nine Cities are recovered and the Jiang Kingdom is destroyed, Chen Dongyan can still come back.

The Chen family is waiting for that day.

It was originally clear that Chen Dongyan would not be able to come back. Even if Qingjiang Pass was victorious, Chen Dongyan would not be able to come back. However, seeing Chen Hong coming back, Xie couldn't help but ask.

Chen Kang sighed and said: "You also know Dongyan's temper. He... Well, I don't think he will come back unless His Majesty orders him to come back, or the nine passes and nine cities are recovered, the Jiang Kingdom is destroyed, and the border passes are no longer available. He will come back only when he is in danger and no longer needs the governor. Now...he must have gone to inspect the nine passes and nine cities again. "

Xie also sighed.

Chen Hong stood there without saying a word, and did not clarify Chen Dongyan's situation. He only said: "Father, mother, I'm a little tired. I rode all the way back and I'm a little hungry."

"Then go in, have something to eat, and then sleep."

Xie immediately stopped sighing and pulled Chen Hong deeper into the yard.

He Ye and his son also returned to Guiyang City. They didn't even enter the He family's door and went directly to the Huang Mansion.

He Ye personally carried Huang Xurong's ashes inside.

When Huang Changling heard that his father had died in battle, his eyes turned red and he rushed out.

Huang Puren and Bai Shi were also shocked and started crying.

Huang Changling took Huang Xurong's ashes and moved his lips, trying to speak, but in the end his throat was clogged and he couldn't say anything, but tears flowed out.

He Ye said sadly: "Young master, please have my condolences. Your father is no longer here, and you are the one who has to support the big house. Don't fall down."

Huang Puren asked: "My eldest brother, he...he..."

"He was secretly murdered by Uncle Jiang."

He Ye knew what Huang Puren wanted to ask, and told him the general situation of Huang Xurong's death in battle.

No one was there at that time, and everyone who was there was not spared, and they all died. No one knew what the situation was on the battlefield at that time, but after deducing later, he could probably guess some, and He Ye told those guesses. The Huang family listened.

After hearing this, the Huang family hated Uncle Jiang Wang, Jiang Chengchi, and Jiang Guo to the core.

Huang Changling's hand holding the urn had blue veins bulging out. He felt hatred in his heart and said, "It's a shame that I don't like martial arts. I can't go to the battlefield to avenge my father. Otherwise, I will definitely go to the Jiang Kingdom and behead Uncle Jiang Wang." , behead Jiang Chengchi!"

Although Jiang Chengchi was the emperor of the Jiang Kingdom, the people of the Qi Kingdom didn't care. Especially at this time, Huang Changling was so hateful, how could he still address him respectfully, even calling him by his name was considered polite.

Huang Changling looked at Huang Puren: "Second uncle, I will go to the battlefield another day. You must avenge your father."

Huang Puren is also a Wuhou, so he has the opportunity to go to the battlefield.

Huang Puren said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Changling. When Qi State and Jiang State go to war, my second uncle will go to the battlefield and he will definitely avenge his eldest brother."

Huang Jingqin and Huang Yucheng also ran over with sad faces after learning that Huang Xurong died in the battle.

When He Sizhuo saw Huang Jingqin, he stared at her for a while and then looked away.

The younger generation of the Huang family don't like to practice martial arts, like Huang Changling and Huang Yucheng, they both gave up martial arts and followed literature, but the girls prefer to practice martial arts, like Huang Yinxiang who is married, and Huang Jingqin who is now waiting to be married.

Although his force is not very strong, he still has certain abilities.

Huang Jingqin walked to Huang Changling with tears in her eyes, looked at Huang Xurong's ashes, and said sadly: "Brother, don't worry, when I can go to the battlefield one day, I will also avenge my uncle!"

He Sizhuo said: "His Majesty commended Meng Qingzheng at Lanzhou Pass. Meng Qingzheng is only 12 years old, but she has already been made a vassal. This shows that His Majesty has no objection to women joining the army."

Huang Jingqin's eyes lit up and she looked up at He Sizhuo. She wiped away her tears and asked, "Is this true? Women can also join the army?"

"Really, probably starting from Meng Qingzheng, many women who love martial arts and are willing to go to the battlefield will join the army. I think that when His Majesty returns to Beijing, he will issue corresponding orders. Don't worry, When His Majesty calls for it, if you want to sign up, I will accompany you."

Huang Jingqin nodded: "Okay!"

He Ye and his son delivered Huang Xurong's ashes, and they said goodbye and returned to He's home.

The next day, Mrs. Huang, who learned the news, also came, as did Fu Huanghe and Fu Xinglu, and even Fu Shan also came.

Fu Huanghe and Fu Xinglu were very angry, Fu Shan was also angry, and of course there was heartache. The most painful one was the Huang family. She had not stopped crying since she knew that Huang Xurong died in the battle.
Fu Xinglu said bitterly: "I also want to go to the battlefield to kill the Jiang people. They killed my eldest cousin. It's so hateful!"

Fu Huanghe patted his head and said sharply in his cold eyes: "You are still young and have never been to the battlefield. If you go, you may not be able to take revenge, but there will be an extra corpse. Don't worry, His Majesty will not look at the big picture. My cousin died in vain. He will definitely avenge his dead eldest cousin. Just wait. The Qi State will one day defeat the Jiang State. When the day comes when the two countries officially fight, my brother will also go to the battlefield. If there is a chance, , I will personally cut off the heads of Uncle Jiang Wang and Jiang Chengchi to avenge my cousin."

Later, people one after another learned about Huang Xurong's death in battle and came to express their condolences.

When Qi Hengyuan and Yan Ning arrived in Guiyang City, Huang Xurong's funeral had already been completed.

After Qi Hengyuan heard about this incident, he issued an imperial edict.

Eunuch Wang personally went to Huang's house to read out the imperial edict.

Since then, the Huang family has hereditary titles. Since Huang Changling did not practice martial arts, he only received one title. The title of martial arts knight was given to Huang Puren, which was another kind of compensation for Huang Xurong.

Afterwards, Qi Hengyuan recalled Gao Zhi who was deployed to Sanyuan Pass, He Leifeng from Changting Pass, and Ye Yan from Yuling Pass to Beijing.

Ren Sihai returned from Qingjiang Pass and had arrived at Guiyang City.

Qi Hengyuan summoned the Wuhous, including Yang Jing, Fu Shan, Ren Sihai, He Ye, Gao Zhi, He Leifeng, Ye Yan, and some young princes including He Sizhuo, to discuss taking back the remaining three Guan Sancheng’s plan.

Qi Rongchu went to find Chen Dongyan and was no longer with Qi Hengyuan, but the news of Qi Hengyuan's grand gathering of most of the Wuhou and Shaohou of Qi State still spread to Jiang State.

Uncle Jiang Wang and Jiang Chengchi had returned to Jiang Country long ago.

In the two battles between Lanzhou Pass and Qingjiang Pass, Jiang suffered heavy losses. Uncle Jiang lost Feng Yue, Feng Ying, and Zhao Xiang.

These people are all people who have followed Uncle Jiang Wang through life and death. Although they are also older, their abilities are still there.

Now they are all dead.

As for Chen Dongyan's life and death, we still don't know.

Uncle Jiang Wang also hated it.But there is nothing I can do about it no matter how much I hate it.

Reality is pressing. In the battle at Lanzhou Pass, Yan Lang showed his magical abilities.

In the battle of Qingjiang Pass, Chen Dongyan also showed his extraordinary strength.

Qi State has such powerful young talents and a patron saint like the Yan family, so they can't fight head-on.

If you can't fight head-on, you can only outsmart yourself.

Uncle Jiang went into the palace to see Jiang Chengchi and told Jiang Chengchi that His Majesty Qi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take back the remaining three passes and three cities, so that Jiang Chengchi could make up his mind.

Jiang Chengchi was shocked: "Qi Hengyuan wants to start another war and take back the remaining three passes and three cities?"

Uncle Jiang nodded: "Judging from the news from the spies, Qi Hengyuan does have this plan."

Jiang Chengchi frowned: "But don't the remaining three Guancheng still have white flags?"

Uncle Jiang looked at him: "Previously, white flags were planted at Lanzhou Pass and Qingjiang Pass, but do you think those white flags are useful to the people of Qi?"

Jiang Chengchi said angrily: "The hateful Qi people, they are not afraid of being laughed at by Bai Qi's subordinates!"

"There is nothing to be laughed at. Although there are indeed people in Jiang State talking about this matter, in addition to talking, they are also frightened. Whether it is Yan Lang slashing the white flag in anger or Chen Dongyan burning the white flag, we can't catch it Although we are well aware of their faults and reasons, they are cheating, and the two white flags were indeed destroyed by the Qi people, but we have no real evidence, so we can only suffer the loss ourselves. .”

"They can succeed once, or they can succeed a second time. In other words, as long as Qi Hengyuan is determined to regain the other three passes and three cities, then the white flags above the three pass cities will be useless to the people of Qi."

Jiang Chengchi was anxious: "Then what should we do? Qi State has a patron saint like the Yan family. If Qi Hengyuan insists on declaring war, then they will definitely be able to get rid of the white flag again and attack the city directly. But with the Yan family like No matter how powerful the soldiers of the Jiang Kingdom are, they can't win. Uncle Wang, it seems that the Jiang Kingdom has no hope."

Jiang Chengchi didn't want to be discouraged, but after going through the battle at Yuling Pass, the battle at Lanzhou Pass, and the battle at Qingjiang Pass, he was really scared of being beaten by the Qi people.

Uncle Jiang Wang saw Jiang Chengchi's frightened and helpless look and did not reprimand him.

It's normal to be scared.

It would be foolish not to be afraid.

Being afraid means that he can think and see the situation clearly, unlike before, where he was blindly arrogant.

Uncle Jiang comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Qi Hengyuan summoned the military princes of Qi to discuss taking over the remaining three cities. Judging from the current situation, it is really unwise to fight against Qi, so I think , rather than letting the people of Qi continue to win, it is better for us to take the initiative to make peace first."

Jiang Chengchi's expression was stunned: "Make peace?"

"Yes, make peace."

Jiang Chengchi was very surprised: "Uncle Wang, you actually offered to make peace!"

Uncle Jiang smiled and said, "Isn't this surprising? Different methods are used at different times. Knowing that if we continue to fight, we will not only lose more soldiers, but also lose the three gates. It is better to take the initiative to return the three gates to the people." Qi State, this way we can take the initiative and put forward some conditions for peace."

Jiang Chengchi grasped the key words: "What conditions does Uncle Wang want from Qi State? Since Uncle Wang has said this, he must have already thought about it. Please tell me quickly."

Uncle Jiang narrowed his eyes: "It is said to be a condition, but in fact it is also a strategy. The two countries exchange a more important person. In my words, it is a marriage, but the people of Qi may not be willing."

Jiang Chengchi is also very smart sometimes. He immediately understood what Uncle Jiang Wang meant. He asked: "Uncle Wang, do you want people from Qi State?"

"To be specific, they are from the Yan family."

"..."

Jiang Chengchi stared, feeling that Uncle Jiang Wang really dared to think!
He couldn't help but said: "Uncle Wang, how could the Yan family give it to you! The three brothers Yan Bin, Yan Hao and Yan Tai are all Marquis of Wu, Yan Bin is still the Commander Marquis, Yan Lang is also the Marquis of Wu now, Yan Ning is still the imperial concubine, any of these It’s impossible for Jiang Guo to accept the people they present, and it’s impossible for Qi Hengyuan to give these people to us!”

"Yes, these people are impossible, but there is another person who may be possible, and the one I want is the only one left."

Jiang Chengchi thought about the other members of the Yan family and asked in shock, "Uncle Wang is talking about Yan Xiaoye?"

Uncle Jiang Wang nodded: "Yan Xiaoye is in the boudoir. She doesn't practice martial arts or literature. She doesn't have any special skills. During the battle at Lanzhou Pass, she didn't see any magical powers. But she is from the Yan family. Since she is from the Yan family, she has She may awaken her supernatural powers. She is not important in the Yan family. I think she should be able to come to Jiang country."

He looked at Jiang Chengchi: "How about letting Yan Xiaoye be your Majesty's queen?"

"I have thought about it again and again, and feel that His Majesty the Qi State will not marry Yan Xiaoye to the Jiang State without promising the position of Queen. It is also very difficult for us to get the Yan family."

"As long as Yan Xiaoye marries Jiang Guolai, our problem will be easily solved. Yan Xiaoye is from the Yan family. Although she has not awakened the magical ability, some of her descendants may awaken that ability."

"As long as she gets married to His Majesty and gives birth to a child, then in the future, some of the princes will definitely get this ability. In that case, it will be great for Jiang Guo."

Jiang Chengchi kept giving thumbs up to Uncle Jiang with admiration: "Uncle Wang is so awesome, he actually thought of this once and for all solution! Good! Excellent!"

But thinking of something, he frowned again: "We can think of this aspect, and the Qi people must also think of this aspect. Even if Qi Hengyuan doesn't know how powerful the Yan family is, Yan Ning definitely knows that Yan Ning will definitely not agree. She is Qi Hengyuan’s most beloved concubine, and if she doesn’t agree, it’s impossible for Qi Hengyuan to agree.”

How could Uncle Jiang not know?
But at this time, we cannot stop talking just because we may not be able to reach an agreement.

This matter must be discussed, and it must be settled!

Uncle Jiang Wang said: "I will handle this matter personally. Your Majesty, you just need to write a peace negotiation letter and then send me to negotiate. If we can reach an agreement, let's talk. If we can't, forget it. You have to give it a try."

Because of his last words, Jiang Chengchi had no choice but to write a peace treaty.

In addition, he sent people to Qi State to deliver a message expressing Jiang State's intention to negotiate peace.

It was already the end of November when Qi Hengyuan received the request for peace talks.

In one month, it will be New Year's Day.

Yan Ning heard that Mr. Ning was not feeling well, so she went to visit Ning's house and brought the imperial doctor there. The imperial doctor performed a diagnosis openly, while Yan Ning performed a secret diagnosis.

There is nothing serious about Mr. Ning. He is just getting old. This is uncomfortable and that is uncomfortable. Because he is getting older, he feels like he is going to die when he gets sick. In fact, he is still several years away from death.

Yan Ning was relieved.

After I came back, I heard that Jiang State wanted peace talks!
Yan Ning asked Qi Hengyuan: "What is your Majesty's plan?"

Uh... on the last day, please give me a monthly ticket.
