Things happened too quickly, giving everyone an unusual feeling.
Although Gu Xinjun of Qin was extremely prestigious in the Qin army and was highly favored by soldiers for his invincible military achievements, it was one thing to have extraordinary military achievements, and whether he could win the position of crown prince from the fierce power struggle was another matter.
Although the King of Qin has been addicted to the wine, sex and entertainment of concubines in the harem for many years, and his physical condition is not much better than that of the King of Chu, in general, he is much better than the Emperor of Zhou who is addicted to elixirs all day long and hopes to find the way to immortality, so his body has been hollowed out. The King of Qin has been much better.
The King of Qin was even more happy to see the open and secret struggle between the seven sons, and was willing to let it go and never interfered.
Although Gu Xinjun has unparalleled outstanding military talent, his ability to slap his armor and return to the deep palace was even worse than his brothers.
There are countless eyes and ears among the countries, and the battles that took place within the Qin royal family can naturally not be hidden from the Chu.
As far as Yàn Ling and others know, Gu Xinjun has been deeply jealous and suppressed by several brothers due to his outstanding military capabilities, and has lived a very difficult life.
It is precisely because of this that the nobles of Chu, including Jiang Qingyue, never expected Gu Xinjun to be able to firmly sit in the position of crown prince in such a short time.
But things just went unexpectedly.
The reason was that Gu Xinjun's brothers were very happy and made consecutive mistakes in political affairs because they were very happy. Gu Xinjun grabbed the pain and suffered a headache. The power in Gu Xinjun's hands began to expand.
But the most critical turning point occurred when Gu Xinjun's two brothers actually had an affair with the two concubines that the King of Qin loved, and even made their stomachs wide.
Under such secret matters in the palace, the situation should be done very secretly. No handle to be caught by someone should be left behind. But for some reason, the good things done by Gu Xinjun and his two brothers were discovered by the King of Qin.
For the King of Qin, who was more beautiful than anything else, what they did undoubtedly touched his negative scale. It is said that the King of Qin Lei Ting was furious and directly ordered the two most beloved concubines whom his two sons had affair with him to brutally execute them, and shocked the remaining four princes with thunder.
Although the Qin King's methods were cruel and ruthless, Gu Xinjun also lacked two powerful competitors and went further in the battle for power.
According to the news that Gu Xinjun successfully took up the position of crown prince, and along with him were the news that the King of Qin suddenly became seriously ill.
Yàn Ling and others could not have imagined that Gu Xinjun's position as crown prince was still unstable. As long as his other four brothers united, they could still pose a serious threat to his position as crown prince. I really didn't understand how Gu Xinjun could have launched an attack on Chu in such a shady way.
This makes no sense.
The prince Qi Qing of the countryside looked solemn and full of confusion. I had met Gu Xinjun several times and had worked hard to study him. This man used troops like a god and never did anything reckless on the battlefield.
Although the Qin people generally valued martial arts and their military strength should not be underestimated, in terms of national strength, our Chu State is far above Qin State.Such actions of attacking Chu State without any signs can be said to be extremely abnormal, and there must be something unpredictable in it.
It's really puzzling.
If it was just a separate incident, Yànling might have guessed that Gu Xinjun might take the opportunity to seize the military power of Qin and further consolidate the power in his hands.
In addition, there has been land disputes between Qin and Chu. The border line guarded by General Fu Zhuan is a large fertile plain, which produces a lot of food every year. In contrast, there are more continuous peaks and mountains in the Qin State, and there are very few plains. If you can seize this vast fertile plain, it will be of great significance to Qin State's road to hegemony.
Most of the conflicts between the two countries have occurred here for a long time.
But after Qi Xiangjun's warning, Yànling thought that things were never that simple.
Because based on the existing clue analysis, no matter how you judge, Gu Xinjun's opportunity to send troops at this time was very abnormal.
This matter revealed a conspiracy inside and outside, but for a moment, Yiàn Ling couldn't guess what the key was.
Not long after, news came from the Chu Palace that the King of Chu would summon ministers to discuss the increase of troops in the main hall.
The territory of Chu State borders six countries with a very long border line. In addition to the great enemy Qin State, there are also three enemy countries, Wu, Han and Song State, which also have land disputes with Chu State. Therefore, the military strength of Chu State cannot be completely controlled by the General Fu Zhuan.
The State of Chu must replenish new recruits to the front line as soon as possible, otherwise once the Qin State captured several important towns on the border, the Qin State's army would be able to march straight in, and the consequences would be extremely serious.
In the afternoon of that day, someone from the palace came to invite Jiang Qingyue and his son to go to the palace to discuss matters.
As one of the three major clans of Chu, the Jiang family had a strong influence in the upper class of Chu. At this time, of course, they must have the responsibility to make suggestions for the King of Chu.
Therefore, Jiang Qingyue went with full authority on behalf of Jiang, and at the same time, Yàn Ling was also named to accompany him.
The imperial battle more than half a month ago made Yànling's status in Chu State rise.
Now he has become the number one swordsman of the Chu State in the eyes of the outside world. Even if he puts aside the identity of the Jiang clan, his status is still very different. Even if he is not required to give advice, he is qualified to attend.
When the mother and son came to the palace master's hall in a carriage, the nobles and nobles in the court were all indignant. They cursed Gu Xinjun of Qin's treason and tore up the agreement between the monarchs of the two countries that year. They believed that he was arrogant and thought that he regarded the world as nothing because of his great military achievements.
Most noble ministers advocated a head-on attack on the Qin army, and even Pingling Jun and Shen Yaojun who were in conflict with each other held the same opinion.
The King of Chu on the steps seemed a little tired. Although he showed his face in the court, he closed his eyes throughout the whole process and disappeared from the red light at the palace banquet that night.
All the officials and ministers thought that the King of Chu had just recovered from his serious illness, and was already old and it was normal for him to be a little tired.
But only the mother and son of Yàn Ling vaguely saw an invisible black aura on the fat face of King Chu. Both mother and son were shocked, and at the same time, they felt an ominous feeling, but they dared not say it clearly.
Finally, most ministers in the court reached an agreement to immediately exile their troops to go to war with the Qin army.
The second son of the King of Chu, Pingling, stepped forward respectfully and reported to his father in a low voice.
The King of Chu then struggled to open his eyes. After listening to Pingling Jun’s report quietly, his eyes turned to the lords of the three major clans below, including Jiang Qingyue, and asked about their opinions.
Qi Xiangjun's father, Qi Xian, the lord of the Qi clan, and Ji Mu, the lord of the Ji clan, both nodded and discussed the ministers' opinions.
It was the turn of King Chu to turn his attention to Jiang Qingyue, who had not expressed his opinion at the end. Although the latter felt that there was a conspiracy in the matter, the Qin army had captured several cities. At this critical moment, she had to express her approval.
The King of Chu nodded, then stopped saying anything, and handed over everything to the second son Pinglingjun.
The war has begun!
This is called a wave that has not yet settled, and a wave that has risen again and again.
Yànling and Jiang Qingyue looked at each other, and their hearts were very heavy.
Gu Xinjun is known to everyone. Even if the person who is on the border is the strongest general of Chu, the Chu family dare not expect that he can easily force the enemy to retreat.
The Qin army came here with great force this time, and the entire Chu family did not dare to be careless at all.
That night, the entire Chu State began to mobilize.
The endless stream of troops and food began to be sent to the front line from all over the country.
Because Fu Zhuan deliberately retreated to the important town that was easy to defend but difficult to attack, the battle situation unexpectedly fell into a stalemate.
Yàn Ling and the girls practiced hard every day as usual, while also paying close attention to the latest situation of the war.
Just half a month after the Qin army launched a large-scale invasion, two other bad news came from the Chu State.
The Wu and Song, which also bordered the Chu State, saw that the state of Chu State was in a stalemate between Chu State and Qin State, and their form was very beneficial to them, so they even began to invade Chu State.
The two countries mobilized more than 80,000 troops overnight, which was obviously premeditated. In a short while, the State of Chu was dragged into the three-sided front.
The silk book that was in a hurry on the border flew to the capital of Chu like snow.
The state of Chu was in an uproar.
The upper nobles finally realized that the State of Wu and Song were likely to cooperate with Qin to hold the State of Chu.
No wonder Gu Xinjun dared to launch an attack on Chu State.
Two fists cannot match four hands. No matter how strong the country is, it is impossible for Chu to face the joint attack of three enemy countries at the same time.
The troops that could have been replenished were unable to fight on the three fronts after Wu and Song joined the war.
The court immediately fell into the dilemma of having to start forcibly recruiting the army immediately.
As soon as the forced concession was issued, the entire Chu State was in panic and panic.
The King of Chu happened to fall ill at such a moment and was unable to take charge of the affairs.
Then, news came from the palace that the affairs of the court would be taken over by Pinglingjun, the second son of the King of Chu.
On that day, the palace envoy visited Jiang and brought Pingling Jun's message.
The war on the front line was tight, and the source of troops had not been effectively supplemented. Therefore, the emperor had no choice but to issue a new order, hoping that the three major clans could hand over their military power and immediately supplement thousands of private soldiers from their respective clans into the army. He specially ordered villains to inform him that after the war was pacified, the king would have many rewards.
Due to the urgent situation, the Lord hopes that Yue Ji can reply within two days.
Before the envoy left, he added another sentence. In addition, the two heads of the Qi family and Ji family had agreed to this matter and had handed over the military power of the two clans from now on. Wangyue Ji knew about it.
Yànling, Jiang Qingyue and others were both dissatisfied.
After seeing off the palace envoy, Qi Qing's face turned blue with anger and slashed hard on the table with a palm.
Damn, this poison plan must have been done by Che Shaojun!
He also gave rewards afterwards, which is pretty good. Who doesn’t know that the purpose of Pingling Jun’s move was to dismantle the power of the Jiang family.
You should know that the three thousand private soldiers of the Jiang family are all the elites. This force is the greatest reliance to protect the entire Jiang family's clan. Once this force is incorporated into the army, the Jiang family will completely collapse and become a big piece of fat meat that can be used for mermaid meat.
By then, their life and death will be completely manipulated in the enemy's palm. In that case, it will become easy for the enemy to die all of them.
My uncle Jiang Cheng's face was extremely difficult to see. He said tremblingly, "Pingling Jun wants to catch my Jiang family in a dead end. How could Qi and Ji be so unwise and accept such excessive demands?"Don’t they know the reason for the death of cold lips and teeth?
Yàn Ling sneered angrily: Qi and Ji are probably the same as Che Shaojun.I understand, no wonder Che Shaojun's life was too quiet during this period. It turned out that he had been waiting for this time to arrive, damn it!
Even the always elegant and calm Yànli couldn't help but angrily this time, no wonder Ling'er said that the warning to him before the witch goddess left made him feel a little restless.I'm afraid that the sudden departure of the Witch Goddess will inevitably be inseparable from Gu Xinjun's sudden and massive invasion.
It was really troublesome to go there today. The severity of the war caused serious shortage of troops and horses. The king's body collapsed at this time, which gave Che Shaojun an opportunity to take advantage of it. Jiang's current situation is difficult to protect himself regardless of any excuses.
After saying that, Yànli took a deep breath and continued, another thing was that if the current situation was deliberately created by the Witch Goddess and Che Shaojun to achieve the purpose of relieving the Jiang family's military power, then their scheming would be too vicious...
Yàn Ling's face changed, his father was suspicious, was Gu Xinjun's attack on Chu State arranged by Xiangjun?
Jiang Qingyue said in a deep voice: What I am afraid of is not only arranged by the Witch Goddess, but also that Gu Xinjun and Hu Zhuan are actually pretending to be a feint. Think about the same transcendent influence of the Witch Goddess in Qin State and who is loyal to the General Hu Zhuan. Now unless we rebel immediately, then...
As soon as the words came, everyone in the front hall looked extremely ugly.
All the three major clans have private soldiers. Under normal circumstances, even the King of Chu could not remove the military power of the three major clans without very legitimate reasons.
The Chu State is now in a panic, especially when the other two clans have quickly agreed to hand over military power, the Jiang family has no excuse to refuse!
As Jiang Qingyue said, unless they rebel immediately and kill Chudu overnight, they will only be left to wait for slaughter.
But if they rebel now, they might fall into the enemy's calculations, and with the power in their hands it would be difficult to break out of Chudu.
All of this is created by Che Shaojun and Qi Xiangjun, so their scheming will be too vicious!
Qi Qing on the other side looked ugly and her heart was also shocked, and her eyes couldn't help but turn to Yàn Li sitting in front of her.
Only the girls know about disguising themselves as Xu Qiao, but the confidants such as Lian Qi Qing and Kang Li and his son have not yet known about it.
When Yiànling was just now, he blurted out, and finally made Qi Qing know that the guest Xu Qiao was Jiang's son-in-law Yànli.
Since the conversation between Yànling and him at the small pavilion that day, Qi Qing has guessed that Yàn Li may still be in the world and may be in the Jiang family.
As one of the objects of daily contact, Qi Qing did not doubt that Xu Qiao, the guest, was disguised by Yàn. However, after careful observation, he found that in addition to his very similar figure, other aspects, including his face, accent and even daily habits, Xu Qiao was far from his son-in-law Yàn.
Especially when he and Jiang Qingyue confirmed their relationship with each other, Xu Qiao had already entered the palace as a guest minister. If he was really a son-in-law, how could he sit and watch himself stay in the small building where his wife is located without any hesitation.
And after he and Jiang Qingyue separated, they did not see any intimate actions of the two.
Therefore, Qi Qingye was only a little suspicious, but he was not sure.
But in the end, he really confirmed from Yànling that Xu Qiao was the son-in-law Yàn Li, which shocked Qi Qing.
At the same time, I also realized that it is precisely because Jiang is about to face a tremendous change that Yàn Li’s true identity no longer needs to hide, but it is more beneficial to Jiang’s current public disclosure.
Because there were about two or three hundred of Jiang's private soldiers, who were former royal clans of the country back then, only loyal to the former Prince Yàn Ling and the former Princess Jiang Qingyue, who were loyal and loyal, and each had the most powerful martial arts skills to defeat ten.
If the Jiang family had to hand over military power next, these old subordinates from hundreds of times were the last reliance of Jiang family.
Because these old subordinates were not from Chu, if Yàn Li insisted on handing over, Che Shaojun had no excuse to force them.
Thinking of this, Qi Qing took a deep breath, stood up, and said affectionately to Jiang Qingyue: Since Mr. Pingling wants to deprive the Jiang family of military power, I must return to my clan immediately.
Jiang Qingyue touched his eyes and knew that he was looking for help from Hui people, and he gently tapped his head with a little touch.
Be careful on the way.
Qi Qing nodded and immediately prepared the car and set off.
In the evening of that day, Jiang Qingyue and her husband Ai Er entered the palace with their carriage, met Pingling Jun, and handed over military power, leaving only 286 former subordinates of the royal family of the Yàn Kingdom.
The appearance of Yàn Li surprised Pinglingjun, but his expression quickly returned to normal, and he said a lot of praise to Jiang Qingyue's actions with a look of relief.
In the end, the King of Chu, who was seriously ill, gave Jiang a large area of land and hundreds of slaves. As the first step for Jiang's military power to hand over, the greater reward will come one after another after the war is pacified.
But the three of them couldn't be happy at all.
The day after Jiang handed over the military power, the witch brought back two bad news outside.
Prince Lu Mu of Lin'an was killed on the way to the Hui tribe. The masked murderer cut off Prince Lin'an's head in just a dozen rounds, and then arrogantly left.
The news will soon be passed back to Chudu. By then, Shen Yaojun's prestige has been greatly damaged. I am afraid that Lu Mu's miserable end will make no nobles dare to rely on Shen Yaojun again.
The second bad news was that Shaojun suddenly turned the gun and turned without warning to openly support Pingling Jun ascend to the position of crown prince, making Shen Yaojun even more isolated.
It should be noted that Ling Shaojun is the legitimate son of Beilinjun. After his father's death, he still inherited a considerable amount of strength. Although it was not enough to fight Che Shaojun, he could still check and balance the latter to a certain extent.
Now even Ling Shaojun has publicly supported Pingling Jun, who is commonly known as the position of crown prince!
Several ministers in the court who are most familiar with Jiang have secretly visited Jiang Qingyue and his wife.
Several ministers saw the situation of Jiang's family and all said that Jiang would make plans for the next step as soon as possible. An old minister even bluntly told Jiang Qingyue that Pingling Jun's deprivation of Jiang's military power would not be the last step, so they would be unable to leave as soon as possible!
As Pingling Jun and Che Shaojun behind him finally took office, the Jiang family's situation in Chu took a sharp decline.
Many ministers in the court who had originally had acquainted with Jiang finally saw the crisis of the situation this time, and they all tried to protect themselves and chose to divide the boundaries with Jiang, which worsened the situation.
On this day, Qi Qing, who was nearly ten days away from the city, finally returned to Chudu, but it was different from what he expected.
Qi Qing only brought more than thirty elites from the clan, and his face was extremely ugly. After seeing Jiang Qingyue, his face showed a strong bitterness and fatigue.
The Lord of Qi visited the clan behind me before me. On the first day of my return, I had a big fight with my father because he wanted to break away from all relations with Jiang.
Qi Qing is useless and cannot convince the clan behind me. From today on, I have broken away from all relations with my clan. These people are brothers in my clan who are loyal to me. They voluntarily follow me and the Jiang clan to advance and retreat.
Jiang Qingyue's beautiful eyes trembled, and her heart showed unhidden touch.
Although Gu Xinjun of Qin was extremely prestigious in the Qin army and was highly favored by soldiers for his invincible military achievements, it was one thing to have extraordinary military achievements, and whether he could win the position of crown prince from the fierce power struggle was another matter.
Although the King of Qin has been addicted to the wine, sex and entertainment of concubines in the harem for many years, and his physical condition is not much better than that of the King of Chu, in general, he is much better than the Emperor of Zhou who is addicted to elixirs all day long and hopes to find the way to immortality, so his body has been hollowed out.

But if they rebel now, they might fall into the enemy's calculations, and with the power in their hands it would be difficult to break out of Chudu.
All of this is created by Che Shaojun and Qi Xiangjun, so their scheming will be too vicious!
Qi Qing on the other side looked ugly and her heart was also shocked, and her eyes couldn't help but turn to Yàn Li sitting in front of her.
Only the girls know about disguising themselves as Xu Qiao, but the confidants such as Lian Qi Qing and Kang Li and his son have not yet known about it.
When Yiànling was just now, he blurted out, and finally made Qi Qing know that the guest Xu Qiao was Jiang's son-in-law Yànli.
Since the conversation between Yànling and him at the small pavilion that day, Qi Qing has guessed that Yàn Li may still be in the world and may be in the Jiang family.
As one of the objects of daily contact, Qi Qing did not doubt that Xu Qiao, the guest, was disguised by Yàn. However, after careful observation, he found that in addition to his very similar figure, other aspects, including his face, accent and even daily habits, Xu Qiao was far from his son-in-law Yàn.
Especially when he and Jiang Qingyue confirmed their relationship with each other, Xu Qiao had already entered the palace as a guest minister. If he was really a son-in-law, how could he sit and watch himself stay in the small building where his wife is located without any hesitation.
And after he and Jiang Qingyue separated, they did not see any intimate actions of the two.
Therefore, Qi Qingye was only a little suspicious, but he was not sure.
But in the end, he really confirmed from Yànling that Xu Qiao was the son-in-law Yàn Li, which shocked Qi Qing.
At the same time, I also realized that it is precisely because Jiang is about to face a tremendous change that Yàn Li’s true identity no longer needs to hide, but it is more beneficial to Jiang’s current public disclosure.
Because there were about two or three hundred of Jiang's private soldiers, who were former royal clans of the country back then, only loyal to the former Prince Yàn Ling and the former Princess Jiang Qingyue, who were loyal and loyal, and each had the most powerful martial arts skills to defeat ten.
If the Jiang family had to hand over military power next, these old subordinates from hundreds of times were the last reliance of Jiang family.
Because these old subordinates were not from Chu, if Yàn Li insisted on handing over, Che Shaojun had no excuse to force them.
Thinking of this, Qi Qing took a deep breath, stood up, and said affectionately to Jiang Qingyue: Since Mr. Pingling wants to deprive the Jiang family of military power, I must return to my clan immediately.
Jiang Qingyue touched his eyes and knew that he was looking for help from Hui people, and he gently tapped his head with a little touch.
Be careful on the way.
Qi Qing nodded and immediately prepared the car and set off.
In the evening of that day, Jiang Qingyue and her husband Ai Er entered the palace with their carriage, met Pingling Jun, and handed over military power, leaving only 286 former subordinates of the royal family of the Yàn Kingdom.
The appearance of Yàn Li surprised Pinglingjun, but his expression quickly returned to normal, and he said a lot of praise to Jiang Qingyue's actions with a look of relief.
In the end, the King of Chu, who was seriously ill, gave Jiang a large area of land and hundreds of slaves. As the first step for Jiang's military power to hand over, the greater reward will come one after another after the war is pacified.
But the three of them couldn't be happy at all.
The day after Jiang handed over the military power, the witch brought back two bad news outside.
Prince Lu Mu of Lin'an was killed on the way to the Hui tribe. The masked murderer cut off Prince Lin'an's head in just a dozen rounds, and then arrogantly left.
The news will soon be passed back to Chudu. By then, Shen Yaojun's prestige has been greatly damaged. I am afraid that Lu Mu's miserable end will make no nobles dare to rely on Shen Yaojun again.
The second bad news was that Shaojun suddenly turned the gun and turned without warning to openly support Pingling Jun ascend to the position of crown prince, making Shen Yaojun even more isolated.
It should be noted that Ling Shaojun is the legitimate son of Beilinjun. After his father's death, he still inherited a considerable amount of strength. Although it was not enough to fight Che Shaojun, he could still check and balance the latter to a certain extent.
Now even Ling Shaojun has publicly supported Pingling Jun, who is commonly known as the position of crown prince!
Several ministers in the court who are most familiar with Jiang have secretly visited Jiang Qingyue and his wife.
Several ministers saw the situation of Jiang's family and all said that Jiang would make plans for the next step as soon as possible. An old minister even bluntly told Jiang Qingyue that Pingling Jun's deprivation of Jiang's military power would not be the last step, so they would be unable to leave as soon as possible!
As Pingling Jun and Che Shaojun behind him finally took office, the Jiang family's situation in Chu took a sharp decline.
Many ministers in the court who had originally had acquainted with Jiang finally saw the crisis of the situation this time, and they all tried to protect themselves and chose to divide the boundaries with Jiang, which worsened the situation.
On this day, Qi Qing, who was nearly ten days away from the city, finally returned to Chudu, but it was different from what he expected.
Qi Qing only brought more than thirty elites from the clan, and his face was extremely ugly. After seeing Jiang Qingyue, his face showed a strong bitterness and fatigue.
The Lord of Qi visited the clan behind me before me. On the first day of my return, I had a big fight with my father because he wanted to break away from all relations with Jiang.
Qi Qing is useless and cannot convince the clan behind me. From today on, I have broken away from all relations with my clan. These people are brothers in my clan who are loyal to me. They voluntarily follow me and the Jiang clan to advance and retreat.
Jiang Qingyue's beautiful eyes trembled, and her heart showed unhidden touch.
