Back Off, Let Me Come

After almost confirming that Kangguo had sent people to disrupt the situation, Qiguo decided to strike first and kill Youguo first. As long as Youguo completely lost the possibility of restoring the country, and Kangguo had no evidence to prove that they sent troops at the request of Youguo, Kangguo's sending troops this time would no longer be justified, and it might also cause joint resistance from the southwestern countries.

This action is related to the fate of the country, and only confidants can be competent.

Naturally, it has nothing to do with Shen Tang's vest.

Her vest is still in the internship observation period, and such an important job cannot be handed over to her, naturally it is handed over to Qi Cang.

Mei Meng heard about this and asked to see the king overnight.

She said: "Qi Yanqing is not Gong Xichou's opponent."

Mei Meng has always been concerned about Kangguo. She knows that Gong Xichou, as a military general who dominated the northwest continent more than ten years ago, will only be stronger now. She does not doubt Qi Cang's ability to command troops, but is worried that Qi Cang will suffer a loss when he encounters Gong Xichou. It doesn't matter if he suffers a loss, but it matters that he suffers a loss. The effect of Qi State's prestige is greatly reduced, which affects the morale of the soldiers and is not conducive to the overall situation.

The king sat by the window, looking at the moonlight through the mottled shadows of the trees outside the window, took a puff of cigarette, and the lingering smoke blurred her thoughts between her eyebrows: "Jinghe, do you think too much of Kang State? They are better than us in everything, right?"

Mei Meng was stunned by this sentence.

She said: "It is a big worry, so we should pay attention to it."

If such a powerful neighbor doesn't pay attention to it, who should she pay attention to?

Seeing that Mei Meng didn't understand what she meant, the king didn't dwell on this issue. He turned his pipe upside down in the ashtray and knocked off the ashes: "I don't know Gong Xichou very well, but it doesn't mean I don't care about him. If he dares to come this time, he will be courting death."

Mei Meng didn't know where the king's confidence came from.

Her intuition told her that the king seemed to be hiding something from her.

Mei Meng waited for a while, and both sides were speechless, and there was a silent embarrassment in the air. Just as she was about to speak to ease the situation, the king suddenly said, "Jinghe, I am really tired."

"I'll take my leave."

No matter what the king said this for, Mei Meng could only treat it as a common complaint.

But the king refused to let Mei Meng leave.

"Not long after you stayed at home, Cui Zhishan recommended a man to me, a young man who was a little shy and timid." The king changed the topic too quickly, making it difficult to understand what she meant, but Mei Meng soon understood, "This young man was born in the market, he has neither a prominent family background nor a talent that makes people shine, nor much outstanding appearance... But I still value him and give him many generous rewards. Guess why? Because he has an ancestor that I have to value!"

A person who may be striving for the 20th rank of Chehou.

In other words, the other party is at least the 19th rank of Guanneihou!

With the current status of Qi State, it is possible to recruit a second or even a third Qi Yanqing with gritted teeth. As long as the other party is given the high position and generous salary they want and meets their needs, they will come to serve, just like Zheng Qiao did back then. But the 19th-level Guannei Hou and even the 20th-level Che Hou are different. It is not ordinary fame and fortune that can make them loyal - except for a few.

It is very difficult to make them serve.

Mei Meng assisted her for many years, but she did not do it.

Cui Zhi did it just by bringing a young man here.

"... His ancestor was born a hundred years ago, became famous at the age of thirty, and became a high-ranking official at the age of fifty. After the fall of his home country, he disappeared. There is little trace of him in the outside world, and he is considered dead."

A fallen general is certainly not worthy of public attention. There are too many amazing geniuses in this world who have appeared on the stage and have been forgotten for a long time. When Cui Zhi said that the young ancestor was this person, the king was also confused for a long time. Afterwards, he went to check the news of that person and learned about the other party's active years and achievements. The king had some guesses in his mind, but he was not sure, so he confirmed with Cui Zhi.

[Does Cui Qing want to treat this child well? ]

Cui Zhi spoke frankly: [I recommend this child to the master, hoping that the master can use this child to exchange for a powerful helper. Qi Yanqing is not weak, but after all, he has an old grudge with the previous king. He has been lazy in government affairs, arrogant and domineering in recent years. Such an uncontrollable person, let him control the military power of Qi State, master, do you really have no grudges? ]

The king seemed calm on the surface, but the hand in the sleeve had already clenched the dagger hidden in the sleeve. This dagger has never left her body for many years, and even her favorite male favorite cannot touch it. It's not that the dagger is precious, but that this dagger is used for self-defense.

Who she is defending against, only she knows.

[Could the 'powerful helper' mentioned by Cui Qing be the ancestor of this child? But when the strength reaches that level, will he still care about a younger generation separated by several generations? 】A powerful warrior will never lack descendants if he wants to, and his descendants will give birth to descendants, and the descendants will continue. When it comes to the young generation, the bloodline of that warrior may be as few as hundreds or as many as thousands...

Things are precious because they are rare, and so are people.

How much weight can the young man recommended by Cui Zhi have?

The answer is that he will care, care a lot, and care very much!

【When he was young and ignorant, the Guannei Hou had a brief love affair with a rural laundry girl, and then he devoted himself to the pursuit of martial arts. 】According to what Cui Zhi found out, it is said that when the man was practicing, his mind was distracted, and the figure of a woman kept appearing on the illusionary spiritual platform. Naturally, his practice was hindered because his mind was not calm, so he asked someone to try it together. After knowing what it felt like, he stopped thinking about it, and focused on practicing wholeheartedly. His realm was rapidly improved, and then he made achievements and created a world, and then destroyed the country.

Just looking at the above paragraph, there seems to be nothing wrong.

But——

[He only had blood with the washerwoman in his life. ]

The king was surprised: [This is strange. Cui Qing said that he valued blood. After he became successful, how could he not have beautiful wives and concubines? Could it be that he was thinking about the washerwoman and kept his virginity? ]

Cui Zhi said: [No, it's him - it's not good for his offspring. ]

The king: [...]

Life is full of surprises.

This Guannei Hou had sex with the washerwoman for the first time when he was only thirteen years old. How high could his cultivation be at that time? He didn't practice to the fullest, so naturally he didn't find any problems. When he became successful and began to enjoy himself, he found that he had a hidden disease, and none of his wives and concubines could give birth to children. One woman may have problems, but it's impossible for all the women in the house to have problems, right?

However, he couldn't say it carelessly.

So he thought of a crooked trick.

Deliberately match the deputy general and the concubine who had been neglected for many years, and the concubine gave birth to a daughter the next year. The Marquis of Guannei could only look for a doctor who was proficient in male diseases in secret with a sullen face. He prayed to the gods, sought medical advice, and tried every possible method.

The doctor also told him implicitly that the martial energy he cultivated was not conducive to offspring, and the seeds were fragile and died before they took root.

If he wanted to have his own offspring, he had to give up his martial arts.

The Marquis of Guannei naturally refused, and he even made trouble with the doctor.

The doctors in this field avoided him like snakes and scorpions.

He worked hard for decades, but got nothing. Not having his own blood became a knot in his heart for a lifetime, and even became a stumbling block in his martial arts. After the fall of his home country, he retired directly, hiding his name, and devoted himself to studying male medicine.

Cui Zhi concluded: [It is not known how well the Marquis of Guannei has honed his medical skills, but he definitely has no offspring. ]

The king found his voice after a long while, with some doubts and some excitement: [He himself did not know that the washerwoman gave birth to his offspring, so how did Cui Qing know? 】

Cui Zhi said: [I found out through various channels. After the rural laundry girl lost her husband, she followed her parents to live with relatives. Because they were living under someone else's roof, and life was difficult at the time, even a girl from aristocratic family had to do laundry and cooking by herself. That day, when she went out to wash clothes, she saw a young man on the other side of the river, and she fell in love with him, so this happened...]

At that time, wild sex was still quite common.

In areas where the situation has been chaotic for a long time, there are few men, and the family's livelihood can only be carried by women and children. When a family needs a population to support the family, it needs a woman to get pregnant and prosper. In this context, it is common for a woman to have wild sex with a man.

Wild sex, only the mother is known, not the father.

Even if they knew, they would not tell others.

Population is property, who would let the property be taken away by a strange man who only provides seeds? This matter was kept secret until the child's biological father became famous and the laundry girl's family's life improved, and she recognized that the man was the man of the year.

The laundry girl counted on her fingers to calculate the other party's age at that time.

Well, now I dare not admit it.

This matter was delayed until the laundry woman died, and she only explained this past before she died. However, many years had passed, the laundry woman's descendants were doing well, and Guannei Hou was nowhere to be found.

Why find a dead person to recognize for no reason?

In the troubled times, there were too many variables, and the laundry woman's descendants were also devastated by the war. Now only this one is left.

This is the connection of the family.

It can easily do things that Mei Meng can't do.

Mei Meng completely understood what the king said just now about "tiredness".

If the king had not listened to Mei Meng's persuasion over the years, and had not been so wary of the family group headed by the Cui family, perhaps he would not have to worry so much in the past few years. She knew that the family was not a docile sheep, and getting too close to them would be turned into a puppet, but there was one thing she had to admit-they were useful! Useful!

The problem that Mei Meng had to work hard to solve was not a trouble at all in Cui Zhi's eyes, and it was even a matter of a few words!

That's why she said she was a little tired.

She was bewitched by the easy road disguised by the noble family.

Why did she have to climb a thorny path when there was a broad road to take? She had been stabbed all over the body over the years, and had to swallow all the pain and tiredness. She didn't feel bitter at the time because she thought Mei Meng was a fellow traveler who could support her.

However, is Mei Meng such a person?

The turmoil in recent years made her question this.

The broad road paved by the noble family has hidden dangers. Can the thorny path that Mei Meng took her to take lead to the top of the mountain?

In the past, the king believed it without a doubt, but now she only believes in herself.

Mei Meng swallowed the sour water overflowing from her throat.

She caught a glimpse of the charming female monarch sitting quietly in the corner, like a puppet - Cui Xiong's fiancée, the king's favorite male pet niece, and she sat there openly and listened to the whole thing. Mei Meng's patience reached the pinnacle. She said calmly: "Has the master arranged this person to kill Gong Xichou?"

"He will take action at the critical moment."

Gong Xichou dares to show up, and what awaits him is death!

Mei Meng said: "In this case, I will be relieved. I will take my leave."

Looking at Mei Meng's back as she turned and left, the king's eyes had a hint of struggle, as if she wanted to keep her, but in the end she didn't say a word. It was not until Mei Meng left completely that she said: "I and Jinghe should not have been like this... She is my benefactor, but this kindness is too great, so great that I don't know how to repay it..."

Without Mei Meng's support, there would be no her.

It was Mei Meng who told her that a woman could also ascend the throne.

If you want to live a decent life and get rid of the status of being manipulated by others, you must have the ambition to dare to think and do. The king has taken this as a guideline for these years. From that year to now, this heart has not changed - I don't want to be a pawn of my father and brother, nor do I want to be a pawn of Mei Meng.

You Bao's response is always considerate, gentle and obedient.

It greatly comforts the king's heart.

Little did he know that the other party's inner response was -

[Before learning how to rule the world, he has learned the heart of the emperor without a teacher. The so-called great kindness is like great hatred, and the human feelings in the world are nothing more than this. Mei Jinghe is also unlucky enough. ]

Her face is gentle like water, and her eyes can make people's hearts melt.

The king is satisfied with her understanding.

Qi Cang's time to send troops is slower than Gong Xichou, but the former's marching route is shorter, the border has been prepared, and the military order can be brought to the front. The two armies approached a destination in unison. Gong Xichou led 300 elite soldiers to travel day and night, and finally crossed the border of Kangguo. They took a break for a quarter of an hour.

Restock some food and drink some water.

"This place is unfamiliar..."

Before leaving the border of Kangguo, Gong Xichou could still use an accurate map to travel. After leaving the border and entering a strange place, the map provided by the envoy of Youguo was so simple that it made him angry. It was difficult not to get lost by marching according to this map, and sure enough, he got lost.

Gong Xichou: "..."

After leaving the border, he and the 300 elite soldiers separated and acted in disguise, leaving only a team of more than a dozen people around him.

The map and the real terrain are so different.

"Is it possible that we are going the wrong way?"

Gong Xichou took off several times to compare the map with the terrain under his feet, but there were not many places that could match, and he didn't know which direction he was in after swinging back and forth. He still barely determined where they were based on the locations of Youguo and Kangguo, but this didn't work.

The disguised deputy general said, "How about we ask someone?"

Isn't it normal for a merchant to find a guide when he gets lost?

Gongxi Chou hated the deputy general and slapped him.

"In the deep mountains and old forests, where can you find someone to ask for directions?"

Get out of this area first and then find the direction.

Gongxi Chou was not in a hurry. Youguo was going to die anyway, and only one royal family girl was left. The deputy general saw that he was not in a hurry, so he was not in a hurry either. After going around and around, he finally got out. The deputy general heard a strange sound in the wind...

"Is it a wild beast in the mountains?"

Gongxi Chou said, "It's a person, down there."

After searching, he really found the source of the sound in a dense vegetation that was obviously crushed by something. After pushing it aside, there was actually a hidden cliff underneath. There was a middle-aged man dressed as a traveling doctor, with a small goatee, a rough brown complexion, and a weathered face.

When he was rescued, he ignored the joy of surviving the disaster and cared about a basket of medicine. The deputy general didn't recognize any of them.

Gong Xichou knows them.

All of them treat hidden diseases of men.
