Chapter 180
The cause of the friction between Zhao and Qi has not been found, but the reason for the outbreak of the war between the two countries is very clear.
The reason is that a soldier of Zhao was killed by a soldier of Qi when he was patrolling at night.
Afterwards, the Qi soldiers said that Zhao soldiers crossed the border without permission. The two countries held different opinions. In the past, friction was friction, but no one was dead. Now that people are dead, the situation is very different. Zhao Shiqian sent 80000 troops to attack Qi on the ground of Qi's deliberate provocation.
The prince of Qi stood on the tower and looked down. After a long time, a general came forward and said, "Your Highness, it's windy outside. You'd better go first."
He loosened his muscles and bones, pinched his waist and sighed, "is old five back?"
The general shook his head. "Not yet."
Shan Ning turned and walked back, laughing as he walked. "He's been out for so long, so he really doesn't take Qi as his family?"
"According to Prime Minister Jiang, his fifth highness is already on his way. He will probably arrive with Zhou Leping's army."
"Zhou Leping?" Turning the tip of his tongue, Shan Ning gently repeated, "it's incredible that a woman can be a general. I've only heard of him before, but now I can see him. I'd like to see if Zhao Shiqian is a meritocracy."
The general said, "Your Highness, you can't say that. Zhou Leping really has some skills. Looking around, she is the most dangerous and elusive General of all countries."
"Elusive?" Single Ning picks eyebrow, "how to see?"
"Your Highness doesn't know that Zhou Leping has always won by being proficient in tactics and art of war. The Zhou family has been a general for generations. It is said that they have their own art of war. If they can get this art of war, they can easily win by 800 to 2000."
"So powerful?"
"Yes, it is said that his highness five is just for the sake of the art of war..."
Shan Ning waved impatiently, "don't mention him. Send someone to meet him. When you have news, come back and tell me. It's not easy for people to worry all day. Remember, don't let him have an accident."
"Yes."
After the fifth Prince left the state of Qi without a word, it is widely said that the reason is that the fifth Prince and the big prince are not at peace. The big prince is cruel and cruel. Because the throne is killing the fifth prince, the fifth Prince left the state of Qi in order to protect his life.
In fact, it's not only those people outside who don't know where they are, but also Jiang Shi and Zhang Yingning.
The eldest prince impeached the fifth prince in front of the sage more than once. His disgust and dissatisfaction with the fifth prince are all incisively and vividly expressed in his face, which is the relationship that he is eager to die in a hurry.
These rumors spread, but in Shan Ning's ears, Shan Ning would gnash her teeth and say, "yes, I wish he would die soon!"
But only a few people close to the prince knew that when the fifth Prince left the state of Qi, the prince was more worried than anyone else. He was looking forward to his early death and life. How many people had been sent to look for him secretly, for fear that the fifth prince would have an accident.
How to say about the relationship between the eldest prince and the fifth Prince
All in all, it's very complicated. Twelve points is inexplicable.
Shan Ning went down the castle, and the waiting maid immediately helped him put on his cloak and hat.
Shan's pulse is rich in beauties. The eldest prince is thirty this year. He doesn't have a wrinkle on his face. When he stops there, he's very noble. Even if he's wrapped from head to foot and only shows his eyes, he still makes people fear and submit.
"I'm too old to stand the cold." Shan Ning folded his hands into his sleeves and narrowed his eyes. From a distance, he saw a man coming respectfully. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Yo, Jiang Shi."
Jiang Shi bowed his hand to salute, "see your highness."
"I told you to go to old five? Why are you back? "
"Your Highness will return in a few days, and I will return to report peace."
Shan Ning looked up at the sky and sighed. He came out with a white mist and said, "don't you and Lao Wu have always been inseparable? If he goes to the state of Zhao, you can go to the state of Zhao. If he goes to the border, you can go to the border with him. Just write a letter to report peace. Don't live and die together with Lao Wu? "
Jiang Shi wiped the sweat on his forehead, "in fact... In fact, the minister was driven back by his fifth highness."
Shan Ning put his hand on his temples and said, "how can I sweat on such a cold day?"
Jiang Shi stepped back and said, "I'm... I'm tired of driving my horse all the way back."
"What a hurry to come back." Shan Ning sighed, "pitifully, you don't come back when it's time to come back. When it's not time to come back, you run back. If something happens outside, don't you even have a corpse collector?"
Jiang Shi gritted his teeth. As expected, the eldest prince was vicious. His obsession with the throne was so deep that he cursed his fifth highness to death when he had a chance. However, he would not do so. His fifth highness would surely come back safely when he said he would!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he was, and his temper hardened. "Your Highness has always been proper in his work. Nothing will happen. Your highness is too worried."
"Is it?"
Shan Ning took a step closer to him. "I hope I'm worried too much. Now that I'm back, let's wait for Lao Wu with me. My brother is worthy of him for his duty." Jiang Shi roared in his heart: what did you do? What's the qualification of a brother who is looking forward to his death all day long! But he could only roar in his heart, and still smile on his face, "I'm afraid I can't accompany you if I have to go back to report to the sage."“ The sage is critically ill today. No one can see him. It's the same as the prince. How many years ago did he play chess with you last time? I'm not happy to lose you. I have a chance today. Let's go. " Look, is that what people say? Your Lao Tzu is critically ill. If you don't go back to be filial, you should be so understated! He lost a game of chess a few years ago, and I still remember it! It can be seen from this that the great prince is insidious and cunning, and he is ruthless! We must get rid of it to avoid future trouble! And all this can only count on the fifth prince! Jiang Shi is very proud. Although he doesn't want to, he doesn't dare to say too much. He has such a grudge. When he looks forward to the fifth Prince's death, he may also think about his way of death. Before the fifth prince comes back, he can't beat the stone with his eggs to make him unhappy and seek his own death. So he said, "I have something else to do. Let's talk about playing chess another day." Shan Ning sighed softly and said to the general behind him, "the gate of the city is locked. The prince won't win today. Whoever dares to let him out of the city, I will sacrifice him to heaven." Jiang Shi shakes like chaff and wails in his heart: Your Highness, come back quickly! If you don't come back, you'll have to collect the body for me! But it also directly shows a problem. The reputation of the eldest prince for being evil hearted and unscrupulous is not a false name. Although the name may not live up to the reality, we have to say that rumors are based on facts. This sentence is not a lie.
