Chapter 588 Trouble

Qin Zhou said angrily, "When did I ever lie to you?"

"No? You and King Qi promised that as long as Zi'an is willing to come to Beimo, you will send the prince to Dazhou as a hostage. Have you done it?"

"The prince has already gone to Da Zhou!"

"The one who went to Dazhou was the Seventh Prince, not the Crown Prince. The Seventh Prince is not favored. Your emperor in Beimo can sacrifice at any time."

"Impossible!" Qin Zhou was astonished. The person who went was obviously the prince, and the emperor had also said that he would send the prince there.

"Let's not count this amount for the time being. We agreed before that the two countries would cease fighting and talk about peace after the epidemic is over, but you plan to launch an attack while this king is in Beimo. How do you calculate this amount?" Murong Jie said sharply. .

Qin Zhou said: "No, you were the ones who mobilized troops in front of the Great Zhou. You raided the right wing of our army and killed more than a hundred people. I had no choice but to send troops to force you to retreat."

"Nonsense, since the king left, our army has been standing still. When did we attack your right flank? If we were to attack and kill you by surprise, would you only die more than a hundred people? Are you underestimating my Zhou army? Have you seen your Northern Desert Army?"

"No, no," Qin Zhou stared at him, "It's clear that you were the first to attack."

"Have you seen the corpse of your right-wing army with your own eyes?"

Qin Zhou was stunned. At that time, the right vanguard sent people to report the military situation, saying that the right wing was attacked by the Zhou army, and one hundred and thirty-eight people died. Less than three days later, the emperor sent an imperial edict, saying that he would lead the troops to suppress the army first. In the past, the Zhou army was forced to retreat.

Thinking about it now, not long after she delivered the pond newspaper, the emperor's imperial decree came, and the timing didn't match.

Unless, the emperor had already issued an imperial edict to attack before receiving the report from the pond, but how could the emperor know the foresight?

Qin Zhou's mind suddenly became confused.

Suddenly, she remembered what she saw in the epidemic area, what the official said, even if the emperor broke his promise, she, Xia Zian, used prescriptions to torture the people of Beimo.

The two countries are at war without harming civilians. In any case, Murong Jie and Xia Zian's actions are too vicious.

Now they are fabricating rumors, saying that the epidemic will spread to other countries. If this rumor spreads, other countries will definitely restrict the entry of Beimo people, and the border peace they have worked so hard to appease for a long time will be ruined.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhou's face changed, and he said sharply: "Don't turn your attention away, I will see everything you and Xia Zi'an have done, and you said that the prince did not go to Dazhou, so I will ask about it." I understand, and I will give you an explanation, but you and Xia Zian cannot escape the crime of poisoning the people of Beimo with medicine to create panic."

After speaking, she flew away.

Murong Jie sneered, and said softly: "Qin Zhou, I'm waiting for you to investigate. It's best that you can bear all the truth."

Su Qing jumped down and said: "My lord, good news, General Long held a martial arts competition for his granddaughter to recruit relatives."

"Let's go and have a look!" Murong Jie said with a happy face.

Old General Long, a famous general and veteran of Beimo, the benefactor of the Beimo Emperor, and the old general of the Qin family, were also known as the two barriers of Beimo.

However, unlike the Qin family, this old general Long is a member of the Peace Sect.

He didn't care about government affairs for a long time, because he was murdered by traitors because he advocated peace, his wife and son died unexpectedly, and only he and a pair of children and grandchildren were left in the whole family.

King Qi said that if the old man came out and waved his arms high, the people of the Zhuhe faction would definitely take him as the leader and unite as one to approach the emperor.

But he has closed his door these years and never saw anyone. Murong Jie visited King Qi several times before, but he was unwilling to meet him. This time, holding a martial arts competition to recruit relatives is a very good opportunity.

Let's say that after Qin Zhou left Murong Jie, he returned to his residence immediately.

However, before she returned home, she encountered an assassin.

These assassins were dressed in Dazhou costumes and covered with black cloth. In broad daylight, seven or eight of them descended from the sky, forming a pincer attack as soon as they arrived, menacing.

When Qin Zhou was angry, he saw an assassin coming, soaring into the sky, a long sword made a sword move, like a celestial girl scattering flowers, and the sword light radiated.

The guards also arrived and joined the battle circle.

But with a hundred moves, all the assassins were forced to retreat. Qin Zhou put his sword on the neck of one of them and asked sharply, "Say, who sent you here?"

The assassin said coldly: "Beimo dog, everyone gets it and kills it!"

"Beimo dog? Obviously you are not from Beimo, but from Dazhou?" Qin Zhou was furious, pointing his sword at his chest, "Did the vicious Murong Jie send you here?"

"The name of the prince is taboo, how can you allow a bitch like you to tarnish it?" the assassin cursed.

Qin Zhou withdrew his sword and said coldly, "Get lost!"

The assassin was startled, as if he didn't expect Qin Zhou to let him go.

"Go away?" Qin Zhou sternly said, "Go back and tell Murong Jie that you want to take this general's life and come in person."

The assassin narrowly escaped death, crawling and rolling to escape.

The guard was a little puzzled, "General, why did you let him go? Take him to find Murong Jie, and he can't deny it!"

Qin Zhou took a deep breath, put away his sword, and looked at the guards, "If you were Murong Jie and assassinated this general on the land of Beimo, would you reveal your identity?"

The guard was surprised, "General, you mean that someone pretended to be Murong Jie to assassinate you?"

"Yes!" Qin Zhou sighed softly, feeling a little dazed in his heart, if it wasn't Murong Jie, who else could it be?

These assassins didn't want to take her life, they just wanted to create an assassination.

"Let's go!" Qin Zhou calmed down, and things became more and more weird.

When he returned to the mansion, Old General Qin was already waiting. When he saw her coming back, he immediately said, "Azhou, enter the palace with grandfather immediately."

"Grandfather, what are you doing in the palace?" Qin Zhou asked.

"Don't you know what's going on outside? You must enter the palace immediately to ask for an order, and then you go to the frontier and kill Da Zhou without leaving a single one!" Old General Qin's beard and hair trembled with excitement.

Qin Zhou stretched out his hand and pressed it, "Grandfather, you shouldn't act rashly. Now that we are running out of food and grass, we are not Da Zhou's opponent."

"You can rest assured that the raising of military rations has been almost completed, and in the past few days when you returned to Beijing, food and grass have been sent continuously. The Xianbei side has also borrowed rations. You can reach the frontier in less than ten days. "

Qin Zhou was taken aback, "How is this possible? We in Beimo borrowed food from Xianbei for disaster relief."

"The emperor has his own arrangements. This is not something that our generals are worried about. Moreover, the emperor has ordered the whole country to pay taxes in advance. This year's taxes are double that of previous years."

"It's not the end of the day yet, at least a month away."

"Then harvest early."

Qin Zhou could hardly believe his ears, "Grandfather, what are you talking about? Do you know how much food the people will lose if you harvest early? Besides, the wheat hasn't been harvested one month in advance..."

"It doesn't matter, the emperor said, harvest the rice along the river first."

"It's still half a month before harvesting. Now that the rice is not full, the yield is still low. Moreover, there are so many natural disasters this year, and taxes have been increased. I'm afraid the people will really riot."
