Huaiyu is slightly cool

In the spring of the 36th year of Taiping, the Zhao Kingdom, which was once partitioned by the Qiang Kingdom and the Xirong Kingdom, finally defeated the foreign enemies and drove away the aggressors under the six-year arduous resistance of the people's volunteer guerrilla army led by Mo Ziqi, and with the support of Zhou Huai's massive financial and material resources. Those who successfully returned to the country.

In April of the same year, Zhou Huai, who was 13 years old, lent Mo Ziqi for military training. In fact, the three cities sent by Qiang State to prevent Jing State from sending troops to rescue Zhao State were taken back. Mo Ziqi negotiated to start a one-month joint military exercise with a total number of [-] people on the wasteland outside Yancheng, the closest border between the northwest and the Qiang Kingdom, and instructed Mo Ziqi to send an invitation to invite Xirong and Qiang to come here Visiting, in fact, is preparing to renegotiate the division of borders with others.

Under the pressure of [-] elite soldiers on display at the border, at the beginning of May, the Emperor Qiang sent Xiao Tuo, his younger brother An, Prince Wanyan Shaoliang, the eldest prince sent by the King Xirong, and Wu Liangyue, the Chief Guard Princess sent by the Crown Prince of Jingguo Jianguo, to Yancheng. Get ready to watch the so-called military exercises.

And Zhou Huai personally stationed in Yancheng with a mixed formation of 3000 people and a batch of newly developed lethal weapons, and pretending to be the master, he set up a feast in the mansion guarded by Yancheng with a smile.

At the gorgeous banquet in Yancheng on May [-]th, Mo Ziqi sat Zhou Huai with Wanyan Shaohong, who had been taken from the throne and had not borrowed soldiers from Jingguo. The humble appearance of obedience to orders is frequently eye-catching, but considering that the other party's children are still hostages in Zhou Huai's unique Huai courtyard, and even the women in the backyard and the generals under him are mostly from the Northwest, then he This move is not surprising. After all, it is more accurate for Zhao Guo to say that Mo Ziqi belonged to him. It is more accurate to say that Zhou Huai sent Mo Ziqi to station there. There was a hint of pity in his eyes.

Xiao Tuo brought the young female teacher Xi Yunjing to the table with the eldest princess and Xiao Yu, and the two talked politely and courteously.It's just that there is a hidden edge in it, probing each other, and each of them has their own small calculations in their hearts, but in the end they both refrain from tit-for-tat, and watch the person in the main seat vigilantly.

Only Wanyan Shaoliang sat in the corner with Ye Luxiong, the number one warrior of Xirong, with a reserved expression and uneasy eyes, and he didn't even care to find trouble with Wanyan Shaohong next to Mo Ziqi.

Zhou Huai took Liao Qiwei and sat high on the main seat, looking at him, wondering whether he was frightened by the army she trained with modern military training techniques in the morning, or was shocked by the thousands of cannons specially pulled out to bluff people. There was a dark light flashing in the eyes of the few people, but there was a cold snort of disdain in their mouths.In fact, she mainly wanted to test the destruction and lethality of several other newly developed weapons on the actual battlefield. For this reason, she also brought weapons researchers and test recorders, but these weapons were intended to be used in Xirong or Those in the Qiang Kingdom, so at this time Zhou Huai held his head up, his expression was a little eager to try, his eyes were full of complacency and ambition, but he tried to hide it with a gentle and elegant appearance, but People can see her poor acting skills.

The other subordinates led by Zhou Huai lowered their heads and felt that they couldn't bear to look directly at them. Only Liao Qiwei, who was standing beside Zhou Huai, eased the atmosphere and introduced a few dishes grown in the northwest greenhouse and new dishes with a smile. , by the way, ordered a few dance music and persuasion, which made these distinguished guests who were stunned by the new weapon developed by Zhou Huai reluctantly cheer up.

Standing on the platform in the middle, Liao Qiwei, who was dressed in red with a hearty smile and a charming smile, said polite words on the scene, from the common phrases of "Dear guests have come from afar, I am sorry to welcome you from afar", to 'Today we are rehearsing together with Zhaoguo, all distinguished guests are invited to come and watch, and please give us your advice if there is anything wrong. 'The compliments that seem to be true and false, and at the end they are serious and nonsense,'Splendid rivers and mountains, talented people, I hope everyone can coexist peacefully and create a better future...'Balabala's general Zhou Huai often brainwashed his subordinates. Poison others.

Zhou Huai glanced at Liao Qiwei, who was serious and long-winded, but was actually talking nonsense, with a half-smile. This time, he was really gentle and gentle, and then took advantage of the moment Liao Qiwei paused, and waved decisively: "Qiwei, you have worked hard too. Come back and have dinner together.

Liao Qiwei tried hard to liven up the atmosphere, but Zhou Huai, who was smiling on the surface but had a bloodthirsty cold look in his eyes, completely destroyed him.

Zhou Huai's cold gaze, like looking at a dead body, swept over Xiao Yu, Gongxi Yunjing, and Xirong Prince Wanyan Shaoliang, who had caused her more or less trouble, and finally retracted casually, looking at the elder whom he hadn't seen in eight years. Princess Wu Liangyue.

The eldest princess glanced at Zhou Huai indifferently, paused, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.Zhou Huai lowered his head and smiled lightly. When he raised his head, his expression was already haughty. He looked down on the world with a flamboyant gaze, and he raised the teacup with a calm movement, and offered tea instead of wine to all the people present.

Under the aura she deliberately exuded, everyone toasted in fear. The atmosphere at the banquet was tense. Except for occasionally praising Zhou Huai, everyone dared not say a word.

Yan Shaoliang, the prince of Xirong, didn't even return to the temporarily collapsed courtyard after the banquet, so he said to the advisers and generals beside him: "No, I have to leave quickly. She is probably angry because her father didn't come, so it doesn't count if she comes down first, then The eyes clearly want to kill the king."

The subordinates hurriedly stopped the prince who was about to escape with his horse, and said: "Impossible, Your Majesty has already strengthened the defense of the border. If she dares to do something, she is not afraid of war?"

Wanyan Shaoliang gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "War? Maybe she has this idea! With the power of those weapons, the outcome is determined."

The subordinates who accompanied him to watch the military exercise in the morning all bowed their heads in silence, because those weapons that he had never seen or heard before were really too powerful.Moreover, Zhou Huai is famous for his "killing" and "strictness". He dominated the Northwest for just a few years, and he used his powerful military and economic power to help inexplicably restore the country, and deterred the Qiang country that was watching the tigers on the border.As for the most important logistics and intelligence in war, it is Zhou Huai's strong point, and Zhou Huai is not afraid of war.

"Prince, if this is the case, then the other party will not let us leave so easily, why don't we go back and discuss the plan carefully."

Wanyan Shao nodded, and led the people back eagerly.

As for the Qiang Kingdom, Xi Yunjing, the master of the country, is more indifferent than the prince Xiao Tuo.

Xiao Tuo looked at the guards sent by Zhou Huai outside the courtyard, and cursed angrily in a low voice: "How can there be such a woman in the world, she is obviously a devil, so why not call her a saint!"

demon?Or a saint?Gongxi Yunjing twitched her mouth when she thought of the appearance of the man she saw at the banquet.Real devils all have angelic faces, but it's a pity that Zhou Huai has a pair of cold eyes that can penetrate people's hearts. In addition, he has been in a high position for many years, and the coercion makes everyone dare not look directly at those delicate facial features. Pity.

After Xiao Tuo finished speaking, seeing the dignified and steady Gongxi Yunjing did not respond, he thought of the beautiful and resolute Liao Qiwei next to Zhou Huai, and said with a malicious smile: "I heard that Mo Ziqi likes that beautiful criminal slave, but I thought Apart from being unique, she is not as tall as my concubine, and her voice is not pleasant, could it be that Mo Ziqi wanted to marry that ordinary woman just to curry favor with Zhou Huai?"

Ordinary?Gongxi Yunjing tilted her head to look at the sunset outside the window, thinking of the woman in red, her eyes were filled with admiration.

Liao Qiwei was the only one who was implicated in the case of her grandfather and her whole family was implicated and convicted. She, Liao Qiwei, escaped and lived a meager life. Because of her pride as a servant, she did not want to commit herself to others, so she chose Zhou Huai.Now Zhou Huai has lived up to her expectations and has become a hero in charge of the Northwest. She has also fulfilled her wish to become Zhou Huai's left arm and right arm, in charge of the finance of the Northwest, and the president of the Northwest Huai Family Bank Headquarters. Millions of silver coins passed by.However, although she was pardoned to death, the case of the Xiao family was not retried. Her identity is still a criminal slave, and Zhou Huai has the final say on life and death.

Gongxi Yunjing heard that the coaxed prince was still chattering, she didn't say anything, she just sighed lightly, but she didn't know who it was for.

And around them, there are countless pairs of eyes watching their every move.

News came from Zhou Huai's residence at the top of the willows on the moon.

"Report. The Qiang Kingdom has sent news to Xirong that they are going to join forces to abscond and return to the country tonight. Our troops are ready, please give orders."

Hearing this, Zhou Huai raised his head from a table full of documents, rubbed his eyes, and smiled strangely under the light of a room full of candles with thick arms, and said, "I finally wanted to run away, but I thought I was scared to death." If you dare, you will accept your fate. Since this is the case, then, let's do it!"

Zhou Huai was about to get up and give orders, when Liao Qiwei hurried over to report: "The message from Feige from the research institute, I sent it immediately without delay, please take a look."

Zhou Huai, who was about to go 'hunting' in person, after reading the news from the research institute, silently waved his hand to make everyone standing beside him retreat first.

Zhou Huai looked at the night sky outside the window, standing still and meditating.Wu Mingtai gave her the overwhelming power she wanted.The eldest princess she wanted came to her door on her own initiative.The most urgent thing to deal with now is that the other soul in her body is getting more and more restless. If she can't handle it well, she will make a wedding dress for someone else with all her hard work. The key is that it may be for nothing in the end. It's cheaper that Wu Liangcheng, who disgusted her more and more as she got older, felt disgusted, so she couldn't blame herself for being cruel.

Another soul in the body seemed to feel the danger, and struggled endlessly, causing Zhou Huai's eyes to change several times. After a long time, Zhou Huai calmed down and said, "Huaiyu, an uncontrolled body is a betrayal. No matter who the body is, since If you are occupied by me, then you can only erase your existence, sorry, after all, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will perish."

Zhou Huai, who made up his mind, hurriedly left a short letter to the eldest princess, and immediately left Yancheng to go to the research institute, and all follow-up matters in Yancheng were handed over to Liao Qiwei.
