The last time the Qiang Kingdom assassinated researchers in the Northwest, Zhou Huai found an excuse and sent the Northwest Army to attack the city and plunder the land. Seeing that the country was in danger, in order to solve Zhou Huai's troubles, the Qiang Kingdom took the initiative to cooperate with the eldest princess and did their best to help her. The princess kidnapped Zhou Huai.

This time the eldest princess was besieged in Tongbai Mountain. The Qiang Kingdom responded to the favor of the eldest princess and sent troops to attack Zhao, intending to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.It's just that the Qiang Kingdom sent envoys to ask for a copy of the weapons materials developed by the Northwest, but the eldest princess has been delaying the reply.As a result, the army of the Qiang Kingdom is still wandering in the territory of the Zhao Kingdom, and the eldest princess has temporarily ceased fighting.

Now that Zhou Huai came forward, the fighting was suspended, and the Lord of the Qiang Kingdom immediately ordered the army to withdraw.However, one of the generals of the Qiang Kingdom had a son of a nobleman, because he was unwilling to return without success like this, so he found an excuse, separated from the main force, and led a team of thousands of people alone, burning, killing, and looting during the retreat. Do all kinds of evil.

Zhou Huai also responded immediately when he received a request for help from Zhaoguo.On her sickbed, she summoned Zou Jie, the new coach of Zhaoguo who killed Mo Ziqi, and asked him about his choice: "The situation in Zhaoguo is not good now, and we need to send troops back to help, but I am also short of people here. Therefore, I want to let Zhaoguo The army is divided into two, with [-] returning to help, and the remaining [-] staying to assist, what do you think?"

"Zou has no objection." Zou Jie responded repeatedly, with a respectful attitude.

"Then do you want to take people back, or stay and command the [-] troops?"

"Zou Mou all listens to Miss Zhou's arrangement."

Zou Jie is greedy for power, so he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to lead his troops back to Zhao Kingdom to gain a firm foothold, but he saw the situation more clearly.He could see that Zhou Huai wasn't really angry when Mo Ziqi attacked Jingguo, and he even thought about the mutual help and mutual benefit in the past, and finally raised Mo Ziqi high and lowered gently.What really caused Mo Ziqi's death was actually his obvious dissatisfaction with Zhou Huai. This is the difference between ambitious and white-eyed wolf.

Zhou Huai looked at him, nodded, and finally said: "The previous cooperation and mutual assistance agreement between Mo Ziqi and Northwest is still valid, and I will also send people to Yuehuai City to pick up your young master and return with the [-] troops. At the same time, we I still need to do another business with Zhaoguo. As you know, the severe drought in the Northwest requires a lot of money, food and medicinal materials. Although I still have a lot of stocks, but now that the war is raging, I am afraid that someone who is interested will take advantage of the chaos, so I want to use a batch Weapons, ammunition, exchange some supplies with Zhaoguo, specifically, Shen Hui has sent people to Zhaoguo to buy supplies, but the progress seems to be not going well, the price has skyrocketed, even customs approval documents have to be checked countless times..."

Zou Jie's heart skipped a beat when he heard 'young master', but he didn't care much when he thought of the soldiers and horses in his hands.And when I thought that this was supposed to be a matter of discussion with Mo Ziqi, and now I found myself, I couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Miss Zhou, don't worry, if there is trouble in the northwest, the whole Zhao Kingdom will do their best to help. If necessary, Zou You can come forward to beat those who steal, cheat, and take advantage of the fire to rob, and even use the materials stored in the treasury as an emergency first."

"The national treasury is not enough, as long as those checkpoints give some convenience, and then expressly prohibit merchants from taking the opportunity to raise prices." Zhou Huai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the king of hell is really aggressive, and the little devil is hard to deal with. I hope those people will follow orders, otherwise She might really order those subordinates to kill anyone who gets in the way.Thinking of her previous decision to let Zhao Kingdom try to reach a settlement with the Qiang Kingdom, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty and said: "The new emperor succeeds, and the stability of the situation is important. As for the Qiang Kingdom, let it go for the time being, and there will always be a chance to return it later. "

Zou Jie heard that, as a native of Zhao State, he felt sympathy for those suffering people in Zhao State, but he knew that the [-] army generals who came back to aid must be from Zhou Huai, so naturally he only followed Zhou Huai's orders.But now that he is in Jingguo, what he wants to do is beyond his reach.The most important thing is that he hopes to get Zhou Huai's support. In Zhao Kingdom, one person can be under one man and over ten thousand people, so every move is in accordance with Zhou Huai's will, and he dare not disobey.

Seeing him nodding in response, Zhou Huai was also satisfied with his knowledge.

Zou Jie saw that Zhou Huai's spirit was still not very good, so he didn't bother him much, bowed and left.

Passing by the Dugu white tent that moved his tent to Zhou Huai's main tent, Zou Jie saw a familiar figure inside his tent through the gap of the curtain blown away by the wind, but he didn't stop. , the speed still left at a leisurely pace.

But Dugu Bai in the tent sensed a sharp gaze, raised his head and looked at him keenly, saw Zou Jie's back, and withdrew his gaze with a slight frown, and was still sitting upright dealing with the business on the table, but looked aside Wu Guisi who was sitting was a little apprehensive: "He seems to have seen me."

"You can see it when you look at it. What's the problem? We grew up together and haven't seen each other for a few years. Can't we catch up with each other?"

"I'm just afraid that he will have bad intentions and make up things in front of Lord Huai, which will affect you, Sister Bai. After all, I'm wearing a sinful body now."

"It's just him?" The disdain in Dugu Bai's eyes flashed, and then he looked at Wu Guisi with a cold expression, and said, "I haven't even said you! I know it's a crime, and I don't want to make a contribution. Sign a You are famous, why are you so stubborn?! Do you want to learn from Mo Ziqi? Don’t forget, you are not only a general, but also a soldier! What is a soldier? A soldier’s vocation is to obey orders, even if there is a cliff ahead , the master and sub-jun ordered you to jump, so you have to jump!"

Wu Guisi bowed his head in embarrassment and said, "I see, thank you sister Bai for your advice."

"Forget it, you're just a stickler, and you love to get into the wrong end. But I still have to tell you something: Although we grew up with her, there is a difference in respect and inferiority. Don't make taboos at any time and forget your own. identity."

Wu Guisi smiled wryly: "If possible, I don't want to go this far, but the eldest princess can't stay, she just used it before, and now she wants to kill the master."

"There are so many opportunities, but you didn't seize them. Who is to blame now?"

Wu Guisi was a little anxious: "It's not that the master is protecting her wholeheartedly."

"Then what can you do?"

Wu Guisi was silent.Although Mo Ziqi was a puppet, he was at least a generation of emperors. In the end, he was killed as soon as he said it. Even his subordinates are now being watched closely. They stay in their respective camps obediently. If you dare to see it, you are afraid of being said to be planning a change, and then follow in Mo Ziqi's footsteps.And now he is just a subordinate who has been deprived of power, what else can he do?

Dugu Bai sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, don't worry about it, you can't care about it either."

"Yeah, I can't stop it, I can't kill it, and when I return to Yuehuai City, I may not be able to protect myself."

"You don't need to go back. Go and help me find Wu Mingsheng's whereabouts, secretly, and don't let anyone know."

"Why? What are you going to do?!"

Dugu Bai didn't intend to explain, he just shook Yuyu in front of Wu Guisi, and uttered two words: "Order."

Wu Guisi was startled, although he still hesitated, he still chose to bow his head in the end.

Dugu Bai watched him walk away, then laughed at himself, and muttered to himself: "I swore at the beginning, as long as she doesn't give up in this life, I will never leave. But, she doesn't want to live anymore, so why don't I do it for you?" I make my own plans?"

When Zhou Huai handed it over to Dugu Bai Yuyu, he told her to do what Zhou Huai hadn't finished.But Dugu Bai also has her own ambitions, she doesn't want to return the ten states in the northwest to the eldest princess according to Zhou Huai's intention.So she wanted to find Wu Mingsheng and use her to force Shen Hui to hand over power to her.What she wanted was half of the country, not just a Yuehuai city.

Dugu Bai picked up the processed documents and walked towards Zhou Huai's camp.As soon as he approached, he heard voices from inside the tent, and the moment he walked around the screen and saw the eldest princess, Dugu Bai's expression turned cold.

The camp where Zhou Huai lived was heavily guarded and heavily guarded, but the eldest princess came in easily. It can be seen that Zhou Huai still has an "unforgettable old love" for the eldest princess, which is why he is so defenseless.

In fact, the eldest princess just came here with Dugu Bai, and she hadn't spoken to Zhou Huai when she first came in.

On the contrary, Zhou Huai was a little surprised to see the two of them earn money one by one, after all, she could vaguely feel Dugu Bai's guard against the eldest princess.

The eldest princess admired Dugu Bai very much. When she heard the sound of footsteps and turned her head, the expression on her face was much more relaxed and natural than that of Zhou Huai.

It's just that Dugu Bai nodded indifferently to the eldest princess, took another look at Zhou Huai, and then voluntarily withdrew.

Zhou Huai saw that the Eldest Princess was staring at Dugu Bai's back without moving, so she asked first, "You are injured, why don't you rest well, why are you here?"

Seeing that Dugu Bai retreated silently, the eldest princess was stunned for a moment, and after hearing Zhou Huai's question, she walked over, looked at Zhou Huai who was lying on the bed like a corpse, turned around and poured a glass of water for her and herself, and poured The round chair beside the bed moved closer, and after sitting down, he said slowly, "You are injured more seriously, aren't you also busy?"

"I'm sleepy. If you have something to say, just say it." After Zhou Huai finished speaking, he moved his body slightly back, leaned on the high pillow, took a sip of tea, barely moistened his lower lip, and put down the cup.

"What are you preparing to do?"

"Fight him."

"Are you sure?"

Zhou Huai looked at her and smiled: "No. It's just that since everything starts with me, it ends with me. He dies, or I die."

"It's difficult for you to even get up and walk now, why are you still thinking about fighting?"

"It was he who tried to kill me several times. It was useless to stay in the northwest, the imperial palace, and the Huguo Temple. This time he directly slaughtered the whole temple. If I hadn't run fast, we would have been the one you met before the expedition. Farewell."

"Is it necessary for the two armies to confront each other? How about you two sit down and have a good chat?"

"Okay, you invite him, and I will prepare a grand banquet for him."

"I'm talking about letters, and I'll be the middleman."

"Oh, do you think putting poison on the letter can poison him?"

"...How much hatred is there between you?! If it's just because he wants to kill you, then I have the same thoughts as him, and I haven't seen you so angry."

"How can he compare with you? Besides, my enmity with him started in my last life, maybe not only in my last life... But you should be happy when I duel with him."

"Is that a duel between the two of you? You are fighting against Jing Guo's elite! Also, what is more than the previous life? How long have you lived?"

"That's also the elite we cultivated. Why do you feel bad?" Zhou Huai sneered, closed his eyes, and didn't plan to chat any more.

The eldest princess refused to give up. She felt that she seemed to know another big secret, but Zhou Huai had no intention of continuing to talk at critical moments. But at present, she is more concerned about her own affairs: " Good! Even if you can kill him, then what are your plans? For example, how to deal with me?"

"I just want to kill him with all I can do now! Explosives, bombs, piles of lives, conspiracies...whatever, as long as I can kill him. As for you, I just won't let you go back to your camp, neither Someone hurt you, and you were not forced to shave your hair, and you are in a hurry in just a few days, so what if you imprisoned me for half a year?"

"Turn over old accounts?"

"I'm just afraid that you'll forget me. I've known each other for eight or nine years, and I finally realized that there are so few memories between us."

"The military doctor said that if your injury has not become infected and worsened in the past two days, take a good rest and recover soon."

Zhou Huai nodded, but said: "It is said that he brought [-] elite soldiers with him when he went out to the palace. Last time he fought with my [-] troops, after excluding casualties, there were still more than [-] soldiers left. Now his left and right wings are far away from me. His camp is only five days away, and his central army is still continuously adding troops from various places. Tell me, will he talk to me?"

The eldest princess was silent.Of course, she wished that both Wu Mingtai and Zhou Huai would suffer and even perish together, but if she had to choose between them, she would naturally hope that Zhou Huai would win.

So before, she could sell Zhou Huai to Wu Mingtai, and let the Wei family's spies intercept Zhou Huai's intelligence, but at the critical moment, she opened the door for Zhou Huai.If it hadn't been for Zhou Huai's choice in the end that she would rather be broken than broken, and only want to be free, she would only confess Zhou Huai and slowly squeeze out her value, instead of making trouble to the point of forcing her to shave her hair.

It's just that Wu Mingtai is really powerful. If he fights for intelligence, many of Zhou Huai's spies are from Wu Mingtai, so he is inherently at a disadvantage.Moreover, in terms of being famous as a teacher, Wu Mingtai is a legitimate Emperor Jing, while Zhou Huai is nothing now. If there is a real fight, Zhou Huai will definitely lose.At that time, there will be no one to suppress the Northwest and Zhao Kingdoms, and there will inevitably be chaos.And without Zhou Huai, she, the princess regent who could 'hijack' Zhou Huai, would have to go into hiding. Maybe because she knew too many secrets, she would be picked up by that person along the way.

The eldest princess looked at Zhou Huai and asked, "What do you think of 'Jing Ke assassinating Qin'?"

"Unless I am that Jing Ke. But I think the result should be the same as Jing Ke, gone forever."

The eldest princess choked and had nothing to say, and finally gave up, got up and left.

Hearing the movement outside the tent, Dugu Bai, who was carrying decoction, gold sore medicine, and pills, passed her by, entered the tent, and after putting down the tray, Dugu Bai took out the paperwork to Zhou Huai: "Soldiers, horses, food, and grass have all been delivered." The statistics are out, please take a look."

Zhou Huai took the official document and calculated the available troops while reading it.

Dugu Bai was not idle by the side, he stepped forward to untie Zhou Huai's clothes and treat the wound.Looking at the wound that hadn't deteriorated or become infected overnight, Dugu Bai said hesitantly: "Actually, think about it, what Her Royal Highness Princess said is not unreasonable, why don't we retreat and avoid its edge first?"

"Where to avoid?"

"overseas."
