It was indeed a bit surprised that Qin Shu would come to Qingzhou Chu Ling, but since he had been at the master, Princess Shenyou, as his master, naturally he could not turn people out. Walking side by side with Jun Wuhuan into the hall, he saw Qin Shu sitting in the hall drinking tea. In short, Chu Ling hadn't seen Qin Shu for a long time. After all, one was Princess Tianqi and the other was the Regent of the Western Qin. He was no longer the simple identity of Shangjing Imperial City. Not to mention Qin Shu, at least Chu Ling and Qin Shu are now inseparable from the simple friendship.

"Regent of the Western Qin Dynasty, don't be fine." Chu Ling looked at Qin Shu who put down the teacup and looked at him with a smile. Qin Shu's eyes were slightly dark, and he slowly flew past Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan. He nodded and smiled, "Princess Shenyou, don't be fine."

Jun Wuhuan led Chu Ling to the main seat and sat down, saying, "The Regent came to Qingzhou thousands of miles away, I guess there must be something important?" Qin Shu lowered his eyebrows and nodded, "There are indeed some things. I think it's better to come to Qingzhou in person to discuss with the princess and the city lord." Today, Qin Shu has a more calm and graceful temperament than the Western Qin proton and Tuoba Liang aides who Chu Ling knew at the time. Even if he returned to Western Qin, Qin Shu's life was not easy. After all, any country

The courts of the family are not something that can make people relax. Speaking of which, the current situation of the three kingdoms of Western Qin, Northern Jin and Tianqi are somewhat similar. They all ascended the throne and were assisted by the royal family. The difference is probably that Northern Jin and Western Qin are the regents while Tianqi is the regent princess. The little emperor of Western Qin has a father like Baili Qinghong. Qin Shu is a little relaxed compared to Tuoba Luo. Hearing Qin Shu said that there is something important, Chu Ling nodded and smiled: "If you have any questions, please just say it directly."

Qin Shu lowered his eyes slightly and seemed to think for a moment before saying, "Qin came here, of course, to form an alliance with the Age of Qi." Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly. In fact, Tianqi and Xiqi have been working together in the past two years. But the real relationship is with Cangyun City. After all, Qin Shu was able to return to the country to power successfully, and Jun Wuhuan helped him. Chu Ling could see that Qin Shu didn't believe in the Age of Qi's court, but now... why?

Chu Ling's doubts were written clearly on his face, and Qin Shu smiled and said, "Let the princess laugh, I'm sorry, what Qin was most worried about at the time was the excessive power of Tianqi. Now it seems that Qin is worried about nothing." Qin Shu didn't hide it, and said it directly.

What Xi Qin was most worried about was that Emperor Yongjia looked like he was in his life. The court officials of Tianqi were always good at internal fighting. Not to mention a princess, even the emperor could be ambitions and live without any confusion. If the princess Shenyou failed, with Jun Wuhuan as her backer, she could retreat to Cangyun City, and the people of Tianqi were not capable of chasing Cangyun City. However, if there were any changes in the court of Tianqi, Xi Qin, who cooperated with them, would be in big trouble. Therefore, Qin Shu would rather cooperate with Jun Wuhuan and never showed a positive intention of forming an alliance with Tianqi.

What Qin Shu didn't expect was that the expected power change in the Tianqi Court would have been so calm. And in such an extreme situation, Qin Shu was already very disappointed when he heard the news of Chu Ling's disappearance. Later, he felt even more sank when he heard the news of Emperor Yongjia's death. Unexpectedly, he received the news that Chu Ling had returned safely. A few days later, he received the throne of the Tianqi had changed smoothly and there was no trouble. Now it was the news that Princess Shenyou was in charge of power, which made Qin Shu not able to come back to his senses for a while. Chu Ling understood Qin Shu's concerns. If it was just a private matter, it would be easy to say, but Qin Shu was now the regent of the Western Qin Dynasty, naturally he had to consider the interests of Western Qin.

He looked at Jun Wuhuan with a little inquiry in Chu Ling's eyes. Jun Wuhuan held her hand and smiled faintly. Qin Shu saw it and felt a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes.

Jun Wuhuan said: "It is a good thing that the Regent is willing to form an alliance with the Apocalypse. However... the previous cooperation was cooperation, and there were rules for alliances. I wonder what the Regent had plans?" Qin Shu said: "It's very simple. The people in the Western Qin State are weak and do not have much greed. Qin can block the soldiers of the Clans in the northwest for the Clans. In the future, I only need the Yanjing on the northwest border of the Clans. This place was not originally a place for the Clans. The local tribes in the Rock Realm were killed by the Clans in the early years. In the future, the Clans will become a land of uninhabited after the Clans retreated. How about returning to the West Qin?" Chu Ling was a little surprised, "The Regent is so confident in us? What if we can't drive the Clans away?" Qin Shu smiled and said: "Since it's an alliance, both sides must work hard to see sincerity."

Jun Wuhuan tapped the armrest of the chair and said, "What the Regent means is that as long as we agree to form an alliance, will Tianqi and Cangyun City not need to worry about the northwest at all?"

Qin Shu nodded slightly, "That's right." After a moment of silence in the hall, Jun Wuhuan looked up and said, "Shuh Jun is offensive. Although the Cangyun Clan does not have many soldiers and horses in the Western Region, the terrain of the Western Region is complex. Is the Regent really confident that he can stop the Cangyun Clan? Once Cangyun City retreats..." Jun Wuhuan naturally did not believe in Qin Shu's wisdom, but did not have any confidence in the combat power of the Western Qin people. As early as when he escorted Qin Shu back to his country, the soldiers of Cangyun City had already seen the combat power of the Western Qin soldiers.

Qin Shu laughed and said, "If the army is defeated, Western Qin will be merged into the Apocalypse from now on."

Upon hearing this, both Jun Wuhuan and Chu Ling were stunned. Qin Shu's bet was not too big. Incorporating the Apocalypse is not the same as dependent on the Apocalypse. If he only depends on the Apocalypse, even if one is the master and the other is the minister, he will actually be two independent countries. The Apocalypse cannot really dare to do too much government affairs in the Western Qin, but if the Western Qin was incorporated into the Apocalypse, the Western Qin would not exist from now on. The area of ​​the Western Qin was at most only two prefectures and counties of the Apocalypse.

Jun Wuhuan narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Qin Shu and said, "It seems that the Regent is full of confidence." Qin Shu smiled but didn't say anything, just looking at Chu Ling, "I don't know what the princess thinks?" Chu Ling thought for a moment and said, "The Regent is full of sincerity, so I am naturally surprised. But at this time, the matter is important, so I hope the Regent will allow us to discuss it?" Qin Shu nodded and said, "This is natural." Qin Shu didn't think that Chu Ling and Jun Wuhuan could agree to such a big thing on the spot. But he also knew that these two people would agree sooner or later.

Qin Shu suddenly came and brought such a big news. Even Chu Ling was shocked to the point of being unable to come back to his senses. It was not until the manager took Qin Shu to rest that Chu Ling let out a sigh and said, "How could Qin Shu be willing to make such a big bet this time?" Qin Shu has always been spiritual and does not like adventure. Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "Maybe it's because I believe in A Ling's ability." Chu Ling rolled his eyes helplessly, "What ability do I have? Even if I'm afraid it's because I'm afraid it's because of Cangyun City.

In the face of the Lord," Jun Wuhuan shook his head and said in disagreement: "A Ling is too arrogant." Chu Ling said: "Qin Shao is not only full of confidence in Tianqi, but also obviously is full of confidence in Western Qin." You know, even if Tianqi really defeated Northern Jin in the end, if the people of Western Qin cannot defend the Western border as promised, the ending of Western Qin is not much better than now. At least the people of the Clan did not directly destroy Western Qin at the beginning. Once Qin Shu and her agreement failed, Western Qin would not even have the national name.

"Is there anything special about the Rock Realm?" Chu Ling suddenly remembered something and asked.

Jun Wuhuan thought for a moment and said, "Yanjing is an inconspicuous place in the Western Regions, and its area is not large. It is about the same area as that of Qingzhou. However, compared with the territory of Western Qin, it is also a large area. There is no country, and it was originally occupied by several indigenous tribes. After the people of the Clan occupied the Age, they took advantage of the situation to wipe out several small countries on the Age's border. The tribes in the Yanjing were fierce and refused to surrender, and they were almost killed to exterminate the tribe. Only a small number of people survived and wandered to the Western Regions. Qin Shu was right. If Tianqi did not take the initiative to occupy the land, that place would indeed become a land without a border in the future."

Chu Ling frowned and said, "But I remember that there seems to be a mountain range between that place and the Western Qin. Although there is no country blocking it, there is no difference between the terrain in the Western Regions and an enclave, right? What does Qin Shu do in this place?"

Jun Wuhuan shook his head, "What... I didn't understand. Maybe... Xi Qin plans to expand to the west?"

Chu Ling was silent, a little uncertain about Jun Wuhuan's speculation. Now that even the people of the Clan were driving away, they began to consider whether they were too anxious to expand. Although... in fact, there seemed to be no members of the Clan in the Western Qin territory. He forgot about Jun Wuhuan quietly, and Jun Wuhuan couldn't help laughing, "Why is this expression?" Chu Ling said: "I think you seem to have done a loss-making business." Jun Wuhuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Wake up the princess's teachings."

Chu Ling sighed and said, "Did you charge for helping Qin Shu expel the Clans from Xi Qin?" Although it was a cooperation at the beginning, after careful calculation, Cangyun City suffered losses and generals to expel the Clans from Xi Qin. Cangyun Army might not even get military pay from Qin Shu. Jun Wuhuan thought about it seriously and said, "I really forgot if I didn't say it. Go back and ask Qin Shu for some benefits?"

Chu Ling smiled and said, "Zhu City Lord Cangyun's wish come true?" The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.

After laughing enough, Chu Ling leaned on Jun Wuhuan's shoulder and asked, "Do you think Qin Shu's proposal can be agreed?" Jun Wuhuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It's not impossible. If Qin Shu can really defend the Western Region, Bai Xing can lead his troops to retreat. In this way, the situation in the north will be better." Chu Ling looked up at Jun Wuhuan and said, "You mean, Tuoba Luo?" Jun Wuhuan nodded and said, "The north is to be taken back, but it is not a good thing to be exhausted and exhausted for years. I'm afraid that it will be interesting to let others pick up the bargain."

Chu Ling frowned slightly and said, "Baili Qinghong?"

Jun Wuhuan shook his head, "Su and Mingguang." Chu Ling thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized. Su and Mingguang were in Shangjing for the past two years, and seemed to have a hammer in the east and a hammer, causing trouble everywhere. He said that he wanted to annex the Leye tribe and become the heroic ruler outside the frontier, but if it was just like this, would he really need to stay in the Central Plains for a long time and not go back? He was not afraid of not going back for a long time, but instead took advantage of the situation. Chu Ling blinked, "If it was really as you said, Tuoba Liang really led the wolf into the house."

Jun Wuhuan laughed and said, "Whether to lead the wolf into the house depends on whether others give him this opportunity." Chu Ling nodded, "Anyway, we won't give him this opportunity." As for whether Su and Mingguang will stab the people in the back in the future, it has nothing to do with them.

"Shengsheng." Chu Ling stepped into the guest yard and saw Qin Shu sitting in the yard drinking tea. When Qin Shu was alone, he did not seem to be as calm and graceful as when facing outsiders, but instead felt a little melancholy and confused. This made Chu Ling more familiar, just like the young man he met in Shangjing Imperial City. However, Chu Ling also knew that Qin Shu in front of him was no longer Qin Shu of the past, just like Chu Ling in front of him, nor was Qu Sheng in the past.

"If the Regent doesn't mind, just call me Chu Ling." Chu Ling said with a smile.

Qin Shu laughed and said, "I know, Princess Shenyou, whose name is Ling, and whose name is Qingyi. But I still think the name Qu Sheng is a bit nicer." In fact, the name that Emperor Yongjia went for the second daughter was Qingyi, but familiar people are still used to her Chu Ling's name. For example, Jun Wuhuan called her A Ling, Huan Yu called her Miss Ling, etc. Qingyi's name is too weak, so the royal gold book records the name Shenyou, whose name is Ling, and whose name is Qingyi.

Chu Ling shrugged and walked to Qin Shu, "How is the Regent recently?" Qin Shu smiled bitterly helplessly, "Do you have to be so unfamiliar with me? I thought we are still friends." Chu Ling sighed and looked at Qin Shu silently.

Qin Shu reached out and poured a cup of tea and put it on her side, and changed the topic, "I heard that Mr. Changli has been feeling unwell recently?" Chu Ling smiled and said, "Fortunately, his health has always been not good, you must have heard of it." Qin Shu nodded, "I met in Anling back then, I didn't think that one day you would be like this. I would like to thank Ah Ling." As a host, he never thought that one day he would sit together with the girl in red to discuss the alliance between the two countries.

Chu Ling shook her head and said, "Even if you don't have me, you will sooner or later have what you are today with your ability."

Qin Shu's expression was a little sad, "I have today, but it was built by the sacrifices of countless people." Seeing Qin Shu's sad appearance, Chu Ling understood what Qin Shu remembered. He couldn't help but sighed a few times and said, "Sadness." Chu Ling hadn't thought about Qin Xi for a long time. After all, Princess Shenyou was busy and had no time to let her think of a person who had nothing to do. But she had really felt sad for the arrogant and pitiful boy.

Yes. There is nothing in this world that is more sad than being abandoned by her most trusted use and being driven away by others. Chu Ling sometimes feels that she always doesn't feel distant when facing Qin Shu. Perhaps there are reasons for this. Qin Shu looks gentle and elegant, but to Qin Xi is really cruel. But Qin Shu can't blame Qin Shu. Qin Xi really can't support the world of Western Qin. If Qin Shu couldn't escape and return to China, I'm afraid that Western Qin would no longer exist now.

However, people who are too cruel to the people closest to them will inevitably make people feel alert.

Qin Shu seemed to understand Chu Ling's thoughts, and his eyes became more and more dimmed. The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment, and Chu Ling didn't know what she should say. After thinking for a while, she still said nothing and let the atmosphere remain silent.

"Sister A Ling! Sister A Ling!" Xiao Yan'er's cheerful cry came from outside the yard. In the past two years, Xiao Yan'er has recovered her memory and has grown older and become more and more calm. Although her personality is still a little lively, she can distinguish the occasions. She still makes noise when she should make trouble, and will never be rude when she should not make trouble. At this time, she knew that Chu Ling came to see the guests, but she ran outside to call, obviously something big happened. Moreover, it was obviously a good thing.

Chu Ling smiled at Qin Shu apologetically. Xiao Yan'er had already entered the door, "Sister A Ling, go quickly!" She rushed to Chu Ling, pulled Chu Ling up and wanted to go out.

"Yan'er!" Chu Ling quickly called her. Xiao Yan'er saw the King of Xiqin sitting on the side and quickly apologized, "King of Xiqin, I'm sorry, I want to ask Sister A Ling for some urgent matters, can I lose my companion for a while?" Qin Shu naturally couldn't say anything, nodded slightly and smiled, "Please give me a gift, girl."

"Sister Ah Ling, let's go!"

Chu Ling was helpless, "Uh... Qin Shu, I will lose my companion for a while? I'll welcome you later?"

Qin Shu nodded with a smile and said that she was casual. Then Chu Ling was dragged out of the yard by Xiao Yan'er.

Qin Shu was alone in the yard. Qin Shu lowered his head and looked at the tea in the tea cup in front of him, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.

She would never know how important the influence of Qu Sheng was to him. When she met Qu Sheng, it was the hardest time Qin Shu had ever lived. He was so hard that he almost couldn't hold on and wanted to give up. It was not until that day when he met Qu Sheng that he became the most beloved disciple of General Tuoba, and the situation gradually improved.

Perhaps she did not do anything in Qu Sheng's eyes, but for Qin Shu at that time, her existence was the best comfort for Qin Shu in this cold and difficult world. But Qin Shu knew from beginning to end that it was impossible for him and her. Whether she was a disciple of Tuoba Xingye or the Princess of Tianqi's Shenyou was impossible. This has nothing to do with whether there is or not Jun Wuhuan. He would never do what Jun Wuhuan could do for her, and they were not even all the people.

But even so... he was still unwilling to give up.

Do you really have to go to Qingzhou this time?

In fact, it is not. If it is necessary for Western Qin to send countless envoys to take this trip, those envoys would even be better than Qin Shu and are good at lobbying and negotiating. However, Qin Shu still couldn't help but come here in person, just because he wanted to see her. He just thought, maybe... Qin Shu took a sip of tea, closed his eyes slightly and tasted the unique fragrance and bitterness of the tea. For a moment, his mood was as complicated as the tea.
