Chapter 803 Seize the Opportunity

The prefect of Qingzhou did not dare to disobey Qin Zhou's order. She revealed her identity as soon as she came, and said that she was acting under the order of the regent. Although he didn't believe it, she was riding like a horse, and the officers and soldiers of Qingzhou Prefecture were only a few hundred people. , how to fight with others?

And even if you go to the nearest military camp, you will get Zhaozhou, and everyone is under control. How can you go out and ask for help?

In desperation, the prefect of Qingzhou could only follow Qin Zhou's orders.

King Nanhuai is indeed still in Qingzhou, and he also knows that if he cannot catch Murong Jie and Xia Zian, he will not be able to return to the border of the Southern Kingdom. Once he appears in the Southern Kingdom, he will be discovered by Murong Jie's spies. , He is a piece of meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

So, he dispatched all the people to find Murong Jie and Xia Zian.

It rained heavily for a long time, from the time Murong Jie rescued Xia Zian to the evening of the next day, the rain did not stop.

Looking for someone in the rainstorm, his vision was not good, and he couldn't find someone at all. He didn't start to look for him until the rain stopped in the evening.

Qingzhou is so big, he did not believe that the injured Murong Jie could turn the world upside down.

However, until the next night, there was still no news at all.

"My lord, Qin Zhou brought people here." A man in black stepped forward to report.

King Nanhuai's eyes turned cold, "How many people did you bring?"

"It is estimated that there are two to three thousand people, and they have already controlled Qingzhou Prefecture."

King Nanhuai thought it was impossible, "This rainstorm has never stopped, how did Qin Zhou come here?"

"It should have come by land."

"It's unlikely. Even if you climb the mountain from Luocun Ferry under Zhaozhou, it will take more than a day to reach Qingzhou. With such a heavy rain, you can't walk at all. How could they come so quickly?"

The heavy rain is not that you can't walk the mountain road, but the heavy rain is too heavy, and the vision is not good. Even the top masters under his hands, it is difficult to move forward under such a heavy rain.

Especially in these two days, the day and night were almost equally dark, and it was impossible to hold a torch, and it took at least three days to drive in the dark.

The man in black said: "This subordinate also finds it very strange that the heavy rain cannot travel by water. If she wants to bring someone here, she can only go by land."

"Where is sir?" King Nanhuai asked.

"He said he would bury the body of the girl in green himself, so he should have returned."

After Murong Jie rescued Xia Zi'an, they quickly moved the place and found this big house, which belonged to a rich family in Qingzhou. They seized the place and detained the rich family.

King Nanhuai stood at the door of the wing room where Shangqiu was staying, heaved a sigh of relief before pushing the door open and entering.

It is true that Shangqiu has just come back, and there is still a thick layer of yellow mud on his shoes, and the footprints on the ground are also printed with yellow mud.

Shang Qiu was sitting on the stool, holding a celadon cup with painted flowers in his hand, his fingers trembling slightly, the hot water in the cup rose into a white mist, his face seemed a little dazed in the white mist.

Seeing King Nanhuai coming in, he put down his cup and stood up, "My lord!"

"Buried?" King Nanhuai asked.

Shangqiu nodded, "Yes, there is no coffin, and a mat wraps the body."

The sound was a little bleak.

King Nanhuai looked directly at him, "When you come to Japan, the king will do everything right, and he will bury her generously."

Shangqiu was slightly startled, looked up at King Nanhuai, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, let go."

The anger in King Nanhuai's eyes rose sharply, "Sir, if I had told this king a few years ago, this king might have let go, but now you are telling me to let go? Impossible."

Shang Qiu said sadly: "I'm afraid I said a few years ago that the prince will not let go, people must know how to judge the situation, the prince used to have the help of the noble concubine, the capital is complete, the southern country is strong and strong, and it can't be shaken by half, what can it do today? "

King Nanhuai sneered, "This time, if my husband hadn't spoiled my good deeds, I wouldn't have ended up in such a mess. You were the one who killed the green clothes. It really wasted her affection for you."

Shangqiu's face turned red, "I'm not spoiling the prince's good deeds."

King Nanhuai sat down slowly, staring at Shangqiu with eyes like sword light, "Where did Xia Zian's needle come from? Why did it appear in her hand? If there is no scar cable, Murong Jie It will also fall into the hands of the king."

"The needle was indeed given to me, but the reason for giving her the needle was to let her protect the fetus. As for the scar cable, it was not given to me. The scar cable was burned when it was on the road. The prince witnessed it with his own eyes. of."

"You know that the scar can't be burned, it's a sacred object of the ancestors, so you're just showing it to me, right?"

King Nanhuai was not sure about his guess, but seeing Shangqiu's expression, he knew that he had guessed right, and he was angry and sad, "This king really didn't expect that the one who betrayed me in the end was actually Mister."

Shangqiu said seriously: "Your Majesty, I really don't know whether the scar rope can be burned, and I also thought that it might not be possible, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, and I don't know how miraculous it is. I dare to swear on it with my life. Never touched any hands or feet on the scar rope."

King Nanhuai stared at him, as if he wanted to see what was going on in his heart.

Shangqiu also frankly let him watch.

After a long time, King Nanhuai withdrew his eyes and said, "Sir, you are proficient in medical divination and astrology, and I will make a hexagram for this king. Where are Murong Jie and Xia Zi'an now?"

Shangqiu said helplessly: "My lord, I have gone against the sky many times, and I really dare not reveal the secrets of heaven again."

King Nanhuai endured the anger in his heart, and said sincerely: "Even if this is the last time this king begs you, after this time, sir can leave freely. This king will succeed in the future, and welcome him back with a national ceremony. If the matter fails , have nothing to do with Mr.

Shangqiu looked at his obsessed face, and sighed softly, "My lord, Qin Zhou has already arrived, and Murong Jie has a scar in his hand, we are not their opponents, why should we risk our lives in vain?"

"You just said, to help or not to help?" King Nanhuai's tone gradually became cold and hard.

Shangqiu didn't move or speak, he seemed to be thinking.

"At the beginning, it was the husband who said that the king had the order of the emperor and the appearance of the emperor, which incited the king to fight. Every time the king was discouraged and wanted to give up, it was the husband who kept encouraging and supporting the king. , this king would not have come to this step today, perhaps, this king really shouldn't have saved you back then..."

Shangqiu stood up with anger on his face. He knew it was not like this. King Nanhuai's ambition was not caused by his coming. As for the so-called disheartened, he had never experienced it. For so many years, he had never Thought about giving up.

All his previous words can be ignored, but the last sentence, the grace of saving life, is really as heavy as Mount Tai.

"This is the last time to help the prince!" Shang Qiu said in a deep voice: "From now on, I will not owe the prince, and I wish the prince a bright future."

A murderous intent flashed in King Nanhuai's eyes, and then he covered it up, "It's still the same sentence, if this king succeeds, my husband's wealth will be just around the corner, if this king loses, I will be no different from my husband."
