The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 606: A Cup of Tea (2)
When the ruthless piano sounded again, it was not only Mrs. Liu who sang, but also the thousands of ordinary people who were still staying by the river.

This time, Lu Yi finally saw the problem, and asked someone to inquire about it immediately. It was a piece composed for the child by a well-known local musician. The tune itself is like this. The technique is actually very superb.

The common people stood by the river and sang this ancient nursery rhyme loudly, holding hands. The singing sound drifted to the other side. However, in this situation, besides the childishness, the singing voice also has deep sadness, nostalgia, and helplessness...

On the bank of Luocheng, a group of soldiers listened to the singing on the other side, their eyes gradually turned red, and they stared intently at the riverbed below, which was stained red with blood.

Perhaps those lying there also had relatives of their own. They came to Daqi, but Daqi killed them.

Ruan Qing stood on the tower, listening to the singing from the other side, took a deep breath and said: "What a princess Jinghua, she is worthy of being the daughter of the Bo family, worthy of being the woman of Mu Zhaoming, and worthy of being the emperor of the Huaxia Dynasty." Ma'am."

The bloody massacre of millions of troops can only kill the bodies of the common people, but she used this childlike, but incomparably beautiful singing to slaughter their hearts and tear up their last belief in the Daqi Dynasty.

Suddenly, the same singing sounded in Luo City.

The people who were supposed to flee, but because they arrived in the city and heard the singing outside, they also sang along.

"what happened?"

Hearing the sound, Ruan Qing was furious, but a chill came down his back.

Shouldn't the people all leave the city?How could it still be in the city? Could it be that Luocheng has been surrounded.

The expression on Zhou Tao's face was also shocked. Could it be that the enemy army has cut off their retreat, otherwise how could the people go and return.

Ruan Qing thought of the contents of the invitation sent by the other party. Luo Cheng hadn't been broken yet, and he already felt the incomparably powerful pressure from the other party, which made him unable to move.

They have only two choices, one is to die, and the other is to surrender.

Or there is only one choice at all, because they cannot let the people die with them.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qing said in a deep voice: "You Wang, the marshal is going to meet Princess Jinghua for a while, please His Highness You Wang to supervise everything in the city for the time being."

Zhou Tao wanted to ask the reason, but an invitation had already been handed to him, Ruan Qing said calmly: "You Wang wants to ask the reason, the reason is here, it's a very important matter, this matter should be decided by You Wang, and I will retire first."

"You, order a few soldiers to cross the river with me." Ruan Qing seemed to point at random, and ordered a person to stride down the tower.

"Your Highness, someone has crossed the river." Lu Yi looked at the small dots on the river bed, and said excitedly, His Highness is really predictable.

Boqing smiled lightly, stroked the piano and said: "Shu Shan, there are distinguished guests arriving, immediately boil the water, and the hall will make tea by myself!"

What?Her Royal Highness wanted to make tea by herself, Lu Yi looked at Boqing in surprise, and he was worthy of Ruan Qing, an enemy general who was about to subjugate the country.

"Marshal Lu, arrange for the people to go back to the city first." Boqing said disapprovingly, it's strange to treat guests with tea.

"Mrs. Liu, you should retreat too." Boqing's tone was unquestionable, and Madam Liu secretly glanced at Boqing, and obediently retreated to the back of the battle formation.

When Ruan Qing stepped ashore, he looked at a woman wearing a gauze hat who was making tea leisurely, and secretly asked in surprise, "Could this be Princess Jinghua?"

When the two armies faced each other, they ignored the bloody scene in front of them, and leisurely boiled water to make tea, and said in a deep voice, "Princess Jinghua is so elegant." She actually made tea before the battle.

Boqing said with a faint smile: "If Marshal Ruan is interested, why not sit down and taste the unique ebony tea in the two cities of Qingluo with our hall."

Hearing the flinty words, Ruan Qing felt very uncomfortable, which made him feel that Luo Cheng was already in her pocket, but he had to sit down as kindly as he could.

After a while, the water boiled, and Boqing started to make tea.

Looking at the flirtatious and flowing movements, Ruan Qing had to admit that her skills were superb.

Looking at it, it seems that there is no sound in the ear, but in a very quiet valley, there is no war, no killing, no death, only the beautiful scenery.

"Marshal Ruan, how about trying the tea in this hall." Baoqing put a cup of tea in front of Ruan Qing, awakening Ruan Qing who had already lost his body.

After Ruan Qing heard the words, he picked up the teacup without even thinking about it, and the person accompanying him immediately pressed it down and said, "Marshal, be careful of... fraud."

Seeing that the other party insisted on changing the poisonous word into a fraudulent word, Bo Qing couldn't help but playfully chuckled and said, "Fraud? General Ruan, what do you think?"

Ruan Qing took a sip of tea, and said with a bold smile: "If Princess Jinghua wants to kill Marshal, why bother, and...Princess Jinghua understands Marshal very well, even if Marshal is, he must die on the battlefield Serve, not a cup of tea."

He smiled appreciatively, raised his teacup and said, "Based on Marshal Ruan's words, this palace should offer you a toast, please!"

This Ruan Qing is a rare person who understands the situation.

Putting down the teacup, Ruan Qing took a deep breath and said, "This Marshal thought about it this morning, if the last barrier of the Daqi Dynasty is broken even if the Luojiang River is even celebrated, then the Heaven will perish Daqi, and this Marshal must obey God's will. "

Bo Qing was overjoyed when he heard the words, this Ruan Qing was not because he was not loyal to Da Qi, but because he knew very well that his loyalty could not keep Da Qi at all.

Therefore, he wants to use his loyalty as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms with her.

He said with a faint smile: "Marshal Ruan has any conditions, just tell me!"

Ruan Qing looked at the woman in front of him, and he didn't even know what she looked like, so he said solemnly: "I hope that Princess Jinghua will not embarrass the people in the city, and let them choose to stay or not."

Ha ha……

Hearing this, she laughed softly, and it was a sarcastic laugh.

He raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "This hall has never felt sorry for the common people. The previous massacre happened when our uncle Emperor Ming was in power, so this hall has nothing to do with it. Since our father, Emperor Shang, ascended the throne, the massacre has already stopped. It's just that you were scared and didn't pay attention."

It doesn't matter if it's Emperor Hades or Hanfeng, it's just her move, and it's best to take responsibility for a dead move.

Hearing this, the corners of Lu Yi's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Pointing at the common people on the river bed with a flirtatious finger, he said, "Look, those people lying on the river bed originally chose to be loyal to Da Qi. It was never the main hall that made things difficult for them, but the Da Qi they love. Dynasty."

Ruan Qing seemed to have been hit hard on the head. In fact, whether it was the previous massacre, the subsequent cutting of the bridge cables, or the round of shooting just now, they all abandoned the people first.

In fact, they are willing to spend a little time for the people, so that the people will not be massacred.

Seeing the distracted Ruan Qing, he said softly, "Shu Shan, take out the map of the main hall and let Marshal Ruan look at it alone."

After reading the map, Ruan Qing sat in front of the tea table, looked at Bo Qing in shock, and said calmly: "Princess Jinghua, how long did it take you to make this arrangement?"

It has never been seen that someone's plan can be so subtle, and everything is calculated, and Da Qi Bubai will not allow it.

Bo Qing held the teacup, looked at the sun that was setting in the west, and said with a smile: "He has been planning for ten years, and this hall has been planning for nearly two years."

If it wasn't for him, perhaps his plan had already been implemented, and he played with him for a few more years.

Executing the teapot, poured tea into the teacup tenderly, picked up the teacup, turned around and said, "Marshal Lu, sit down too, and taste the tea made in this hall."

Looking behind Ruan Qing, he said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, you should try it too. Mrs. Liu was not infected with the plague by eating this food." Black leaf tea is not tea, but a herbal medicine that can prevent and control the plague. .

The face of the man behind Ruan Qing froze, and Ruan Qing said in surprise: "How did Princess Jinghua know that he is Master Liu, the original general of Qingcheng?"

Bo Qing smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Liu looks very much like Zong Bing Liu." In fact, she had already let people wake up the details of the two of them, Mrs. Liu is Ruan Qing's daughter.

Another point is that in fact, she deliberately made people break up Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, and then secretly let people transfer the remaining people to the valley.

Ruan Qing was surprised for a while, immediately got up, clasped his hands together and said, "Please give me some time, Your Highness, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

He believed that the woman in front of him would bring him a different and wonderful life.

Watching the back of Ruan Qing leaving, Lu Yi held the teacup and said after a long while, "Your Highness, just let Ruan Qing go like this, but he didn't agree to anything."

Boqing said with a smile: "Our hall believes in the character of Marshal Ruan, Marshal Lu, so let's wait for the good news together with this hall."

Who said he didn't agree, he just called himself His Highness, not Princess Jinghua, only a courtier would call himself that.

The Battle of Luocheng was finally declared over with Commander Ruan Qing offering the head of King Zhou Tao.

As soon as the news spread, the world was shocked.

In the later historical records, it is even said that the strategy for breaking the city was... a cup of tea.

On the third day after taking down Luocheng, Lu Yi rushed to the gate of the city, and said in amazement when he saw the fickleness who was about to travel far. "Your Highness, where are you going?"

Bo Qing sat in the carriage, and said coldly: "Marshal Lu, you seem to have forgotten the words of this hall again. How can you inquire about the whereabouts of this hall?"

"I don't dare, it's just that the army is attacking and it's like a broken bamboo. Your Highness should not travel far." Lu Yi stopped in front of the carriage. Her Highness Princess is the soul of the army now. If she is not here, what can I do!

Boqing opened the curtain, and said with a smile: "Lu Yi, what is the most important thing for a soldier, have you forgotten?"

"Returning to Your Highness means obedience, but..." Lu Yi wanted to say that His Majesty had a secret decree to keep an eye on His Highness Princess and not let her leave Daqi Realm.

"Ruan Qing, take Lu Yi, who disobeyed the military order, to the hall." Boqing said calmly before the other party finished speaking.

Ruan Qing came over, patted Lu Yi on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Marshal Lu, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and the princess is going on a trip. You can't stop me, come have a drink with me."

The person who got in the way was finally dragged away, and the chasing star who acted as the coachman whipped his whip, and the carriage slowly traveled eastward, aiming at the Yue Dynasty, a small dynasty connected to Daqi.

Sitting comfortably in the carriage, looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly, who cares what? In the final duel between the king and the king, fighting is not her strong point. Anyway, there are Ruan Qing and Lu Yi With Lu Bufan, the three swords combined, she wanted to give someone a surprise.
