Chapter 36 Playing Chess
Qin Wuzhou retracted his sword and walked towards Chu Qing.
Lang Qi waited for Qin Wuzhou to leave before he began to pant. Qin Wuzhou gave him too much oppression before, and now his underwear was soaked in cold sweat. Who is this person with such a terrifying killing intent?
Chu Qing didn't know about the conflict between Qin Wuzhou and Lang Qi. He stood on the southern city gate of He County, looking into the distance. His Highness the Crown Prince was issuing protective covers to his thousand soldiers.
Qin Wuzhou quietly stood behind Chu Qing.
"You are here." Chu Qing was not worried about the prince's formation of soldiers at the gate of Hejun, but was thinking about how to use the prince's thousand soldiers to relieve the disaster. "Now Hejun is short of people. If With the prince's thousand soldiers, it is estimated that the urgent worries can be relieved."
"You are greedy." Although Qin Wuzhou said this, he quite agreed with Chu Qing's words in his heart. In terms of structure and tolerance, no one in Chu country can compare with Chu Qing.
The prince Chu Chen seemed to be aware of Chu Qing, he raised his head, his eyes were full of viciousness and malice, he raised his hand, and an official beside him shouted in Chu Qing's direction: "Fourth Prince, His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince of a country. , you treat His Highness the Crown Prince like this today, have you ever thought about what will happen in the future?"
"If the fourth prince is willing to abandon the past, His Royal Highness promises that the fourth prince will be allowed to take over the domain smoothly in the future. Otherwise, the fourth prince may not survive the king of Chu."
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the prince. The prince is jealous, but he is not without brains. Moreover, even if the prince is stupid and poisonous, there are princelings who think for him.
It's ridiculous for Najiu Fan to threaten him. When the King of Chu dies, the first thing the prince will do is probably to kill himself.
In the original book, the original body did not live until the death of the king of Chu. As soon as the crown prince came to power, he bestowed the death of the second prince.
Chu Qing casually pulled over a guard who was patrolling the city gate, pointed to the prince downstairs, and said to the guard, "Say something for me."
"His Royal Highness, how does it feel to be constrained by the people who support you behind you? The Xue family, the Pan family, the Wu family...these families only want a puppet, an incompetent person, even if he sits on the throne, he is still bullied. , do you think that after you sit on the throne of King Chu with the help of external force, your fate will be better than that of King Chu?"
"If you don't believe it, you can try to act against their wishes once, and see if you are still doing well?"
Since everyone is shameless when they talk, Chu Qing doesn't mind revealing all of his "strength" in front of his thousand soldiers on behalf of the Crown Prince.
The soldier who was temporarily pulled over by Chu Qing was stunned. He recalled it and asked tremblingly: "Fourth Prince, can you repeat it again? I seem to have forgotten."
Qin Wuzhou rescued the soldiers from Chu Qing's grasp. He sank into his dantian and repeated Chu Qing's words loudly. At the end, he added a sentence - "If you are sensible, get out of here and go back to Jianyang."
Qin Wuzhou is a martial artist, when he shouted, his voice was particularly penetrating, and it spread far, much louder than the civil servants who spoke for the prince, Chu Qing couldn't help but want to applaud Qin Wuzhou.
Seeing that Chu Qing was so happy, Qin Wuzhou's eyes showed a little joy.
Hearing Qin Wuzhou's words, the crown prince was so angry that his face was ferocious. He always thought that Chu Qing was just an overconfident wimp trying to win the favor of his father, but he never thought that he would dare to disobey him so much and block himself from the city gate.
He came with a thousand elite soldiers. If he went back in disgrace, who would pay attention to the prince of Chu in the future? County down."
"His Royal Highness, absolutely not."
"He County is full of diseases, even if it is defeated, it will be useless, and it will leave a bad reputation for violence, which will not be good for you to ascend the throne in the future!"
"If the disaster relief is messed up, I'm afraid most officials in the court will fall to the fourth prince. Your Highness, think twice!"
……
The voices of the surrounding staff were like a cage, trapping Chu Chen in it. At this moment, Chu Qing yelled to him through the servants around him - "If you don't believe me, you can try to go against their wishes once." , take a look, are you doing well?"
He knew that what Chu Qing said was just to provoke him to confront his aides, but he was the prince, shouldn't he listen to him in everything?Although Chu Chen knew that he should listen to the words of his staff now, but Chu Qing's words seemed to be tempting, and they kept ringing in his ears. Chu Chen was a little shaken, and he wanted to try it.
Chu Qing didn't spend too much time scolding the prince. After Qin Wuzhou finished speaking, he left the city gate.
Qin Wuzhou stood on the high platform and lingered for a while. He saw that Chu Chen ignored the dissuasion of his staff and directly issued orders to the former commander of the soldiers, intending to bring down Hejun immediately.
"The crown prince wants to take Hejun by force." After Qin Wuzhou caught up with Chu Qing, he told Chu Qing what he saw.
Chu Qing was not panicked at all, he sneered, and then regained his composure, he replied: "It seems that someone is still not conscious of being a puppet, don't worry, the prince has no real power, the purpose of the princelings coming here is to give The crown prince is gilded, and a thousand soldiers are going to Dahe Commandery?"
"He County has been a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. This is hitting a stone with an egg. Besides, these thousand soldiers are not in a state of combat readiness. He thinks he is the reincarnation of the God of War?"
"Even if General Jin comes here with the most sophisticated equipment, their chances of winning this battle may not exceed [-]%."
When Qin Wuzhou heard the words "God of War reincarnated", his eyes were a bit fierce, and he looked at Chu Qing with more inquiring and eager eyes.
He couldn't help thinking, if he was the one who was blocked from Hejun with a thousand soldiers, how would he deal with Qingqing, and whether he could win in this game.
Before Qin Wuzhou could come up with an answer, a fire erupted suddenly in the city near Chengxuan's political envoy.
"Why is it on fire again?" Since Chu Qing's warehouse caught fire last time, He County has been in a drought. They have nothing else to kill every day, and they can only use Chu Qing's purified spirits, which are flammable. There are quite strict regulations on open fire in He County.
When Chu Qing and Qin Wuzhou arrived, the imperial guards and soldiers from He County had already thrown the sand towards the center of the flames with shovels, but the house fire had already ignited, but the sand could not extinguish it at all.
"Leave half of the people to continue to cover the fire site with sand to prevent the rapid expansion of the fire." Chu Qing was anxious, but his words were calm and clear. "The rest of the people and the new soldiers who came to help empty out all the combustibles around the house."
Chu Qing observed that this is a relatively independent house. Although the fire is large now, it has not yet spread from the center of the house. It seems that this house can only be abandoned. The important thing is that the fire cannot spread to other places, otherwise it will suffer from drought The river county in this city cannot stand a fire at all, and I am afraid that everyone will be buried in the sea of flames.
A man next to the house was holding his daughter, and both of them were sitting on the ground crying bitterly.
Chu Qing speculates that they are the owners of the house, but there is no time to take care of them now, so Chu Qing only has time to ask, "Is there anyone else in the house."
The male owner of the house reluctantly replied: "No."
Chu Qing didn't respond, and together with other soldiers, he emptied the things that could be emptied around the house.
Qin Wuzhou was responsible for carrying some heavy things, such as the fallen carriage.
Before the fire engulfed the whole house, Chu Qing Kankan led a group of soldiers to clear out the surrounding area of the house, clearing out a zone free of combustibles.
"No need to sprinkle any more." Chu Qing said to the soldiers who were still pouring soil towards the center of the flame, "The fire is too big, and there is no way to put out the fire without a lot of water."
The noon sun was extremely hot, and under the sunlight, the fire was getting bigger and bigger. Chu Qing kept his eyes on the house, fearing that the fire would spread to other buildings. Spread and burn quickly.
The male owner of the house saw his home turned into a piece of scorched earth, and couldn't control it any longer. He knelt down on the ground in pain and cried bitterly. Beside him was his young daughter. The little girl cried: "Mother, mother! After going to the canyon to the south of the city, she never came back, our house and everything were burned, so she will not find us when she comes back."
The male protagonist of the room gradually clenched his head, and then loosened it. He hugged the daughter next to him and said to her: "Mother has gone to the sky, she will always watch us."
Witnessing this scene, Chu Qing felt an unspeakable sourness in his heart. He knew long before he came to He County that this natural disaster would cause countless tragedies, but when these were presented to him in such a tragic way, he would still Feel bad about it.
"My condolences." Chu Qing walked in the direction of the male owner of the house, after thinking for a long time, no amount of words could heal the pain of the other party.
The male owner of the house looked at Chu Qing, he took a deep breath, stopped his sobs forcibly, and solemnly said to Chu Qing: "Thank you, Fourth Prince, for sending back the ashes of my beloved wife. She is always kind, and I know she must The cremation was chosen for the sake of Hejun."
"Today, I sprayed spirits in the house as usual to prevent and treat diseases, but in my daughter's toy, there is a glazed piece that she picked up from nowhere..."
Glass causes light to refract, and if you don't happen to be in a highly flammable environment, it's hard to guard against it.
"It's not her fault," Chu Qing squatted down, and he said seriously to the girl, "Your mother will guard you where you can't see it, don't be afraid, she just has another way to accompany you."
"Brother," the girl asked, sobbing, "when will the drought and disease end?"
"Soon." Chu Qing cast his gaze into the distance.
As the night was getting darker, Chu Qing and Qin Wuzhou were busy with the big and small matters in the city, and when they returned to the Chengxuan Political Commissioner, they did not speak in a tacit understanding.
"If it's possible," Chu Qing said solemnly to Qin Wuzhou while walking into the room, "I hope the situation in He County will not be so bad that the entire He County needs to be burned to solve the epidemic. The price is too high."
Qin Wuzhou did not continue this topic, he said to Chu Qing: "The prince did not act rashly."
"The prince can't do anything," Chu Qing handed the paper to Qin Wuzhou, "Look at this."
After Qin Wuzhou took it and read it, he asked Chu Qing, "King Chu?"
"Yes," Chu Qing stepped into the room, took back the secret letter in Qin Wuzhou's hand, lit it on a candle, burned it, and then replied, "The crown prince just represents a part of the collection of aristocratic families in the court. No matter how stupid the king is, he will always have supporters, and it would be beneficial for the situation in He County if the two of them fell out."
"You mean to wait and see what happens?" Qin Wuzhou's eyes fell on Chu Qing's Adam's apple that slipped when he spoke.
"Yes," Chu Qingqian smiled, and explained, "The power behind the prince is no match for the king of Chu. The prince can only wait for the death of the king of Chu to have a chance to stand up."
"Also, just wait one more day, tomorrow, among the prince's thousand elite soldiers, there will inevitably be plague patients, and the whole army will be in panic," Chu Qing propped his chin with his hand, rubbed his cheek unconsciously, looking in a good mood, "At that time, I'm afraid the prince's commander will beg to join us."
Qin Wuzhou recalled his conjecture during the day, although he couldn't realize it immediately, but he really wanted to know if he could take down Hejun and Chuqing if he moved to another place.
"Let's talk about a game today?" Qin Wuzhou asked.
"Play chess?" Chu Qing didn't know why Qin Wuzhou suddenly wanted to play chess with him, he was a little surprised, but still agreed, "Okay."
Qin Wuzhou thought for a while, and replaced the current situation between Hejun and the prince with a stalemate between black and white on the chessboard, then Qin Wuzhou held the black and he gave the white to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing originally thought that Qin Wuzhou had created a difficult situation for him, but when Qin Wuzhou's chess game gradually took shape, he realized that this was the epitome of the situation between Hejun and the prince.
"In the future, do you want to attack Hejun?" Chu Qing picked up the white piece in his hand and looked at Qin Wuzhou with a half-smile.
"I never thought about it." Qin Wuzhou held Hei Zi in his hand and took the first step. Hei Zi, who was already in a desperate situation, was directly rescued by Yi Zi, volleying into the sky.
Chu Qing was noncommittal to Qin Wuzhou's words, and the desire to win gradually arose in his heart.
"Then you have to weigh it."
When Qin Wuzhou left, it fell on the King of Chu in reality. If Qin Wuzhou was in the position of prince of Chu, he would directly kill the King of Chu at this time.
Indeed, even if Chu Qing made great contributions in disaster relief, when Chu Qing came back, the crown prince would have already ascended the throne, no matter how much credit Chu Qing made, he would have to be slaughtered.
Facing Qin Wuzhou's desperate son, he put the white son in his hand in a corner that was almost useless.
Qin Wuzhou thought over and over again about Bai Zi's placement, but he still didn't see anything special about it.
Although Bai Zi's decline was evident, Chu Qing didn't panic, he looked up at Qin Wuzhou and said, "Continue."
Qin Wuzhou's next few sons walked steadily, nibbling away at Chu Qing's Baizi step by step.
Chu Qing didn't care about Bai Zi's life or death, and was still walking in a place that had nothing to do with the battlefield where Black and White Zi were stalemate.
Just when the situation in Qin Wuzhou was very good, Chu Qing brought the whole chess game to a stalemate with one move, and with this one move, no matter if it was a black piece or a white piece, it was impossible to win.
Turning the chessboard into the current situation, Chu Qing placed this key piece on Qin Wuzhou.
"Conquering the world can be achieved by being ruthless and decisive by killing." Chu Qing pointed to the chess game that was smooth at the beginning, but now it has reached a stalemate and neither side can continue. With kindness and compassion.”
"Otherwise water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
Previously, Qin Wuzhou was skeptical but could not confirm for a long time, but what Chu Qing said just now clearly meant something, and the goal was clear.
Qin Wuzhou casually swept all the chess pieces on the chessboard to the ground, grabbed Chu Qinghaobai Ruoyu's wrist, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How do you know?"
