After Xiong Huailiu Prince Heng and Sima Jingque commanded the army to clean up the mess, he took more than 20,000 people with his personal guards, guards and troops subordinate to Sima Jian to take the lead in Shou County.

Approaching Shou County, when Xiong Huai could see Shou County from afar, he found that the flames in Shou County had disappeared, and there was no sound of fighting, but on the wall of Shou County, it had all been replaced with the royal flag of Chu State, not the general flag of the rebels.

At this time, a scout came to report: "Report, King, General Qu Hui has defeated the defenders of Shou County and recaptured Shou County." General Qu Hui came to report that he was waiting for the arrival of Wang Shi outside Shou County. ”

"Good." Xiong Huai was overjoyed and shouted: "Order, speed up, and go straight to Shou County." ”

"Yui."

The army marched quickly, and it didn't take long to reach Shou County.

At this time, Qu Hui, who had already controlled Shou County and was waiting at the west gate of Shou County, saw the arrival of the king's chariot and immediately stepped forward to salute: "The minister Qu Hui paid a visit to the king, and the minister was ordered to seize Shou County, and now he has lived up to the king's order and successfully recaptured Shou County from the rebels. ”

"Well, well, you did not disappoint the widow and your father." Xiong Huai smiled, and then glanced at Deng Lingguang beside him.

Seeing this, Deng Lingguang immediately nodded, then got down from the royal car and commanded the soldiers of the Guards to take over all the important places in Shou County.

After Deng Lingguang got out of the car, Xiong Huai saw that the guards in front of him had already controlled the city gate, and quickly went to the Shou County Palace.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai smiled and said to Qu Hui: "Get in the car and enter the city with the widow." ”

When Qu Hui heard this, his face showed a look of glory and gratitude, and he said happily: "King Xie." ”

Qu Hui got into the car and stood up straight, Xiong Huai asked: "Hui, did the capture of Shou County go smoothly this time, and what is the situation in the city?" ”

"Lai Dawang God, everything is going well." It was the first time for Qu Hui to be so close to the king of Chu, he was a little nervous, and he responded with a straight look: "Rebel disregarded the edict of the king's cultivation, forcibly conscripted the people of the whole city into the army, and requisitioned the people's money and food, so that the people fell into poverty, so that the people of the whole city hated the rebellion to the core. ”

As he spoke, Qu Hui raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Therefore, as soon as the minister announced that the chaos should be put in order, the people in the city immediately responded, and most of Shou County was seized in a moment. Then, the news of the collapse of the rebels came, and the rebels in the city learned that a small part of them had fled out of the city, and most of them bowed their heads in place and surrendered. ”

Speaking of this, Qu Hui arched his hand and said: "Therefore, this battle can easily recapture Shou County, not the work of the ministers, but the power of the king." ”

Xiong Huai was relieved to hear that Shou County had not been greatly damaged, and then asked, "How are the people in the city?" ”

"Back to the king, almost all the strong men in the city have been pulled out of the city by rebellion, and the old and weak women and children in the city, although they have returned to their respective homes, but because they are held hostage by rebellion, and because all the Ding Zhuang in their families have gone outside the city.

So..." Qu Hui said with some hesitation: "Therefore, the people in the city can't be uneasy, worried about the king's guilt. ”

Xiong Huai smiled and said, "It's okay. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Sima Jian who was on guard by his side and said: "Si Defeat, later you will send someone to the city to set an example to calm the people, and tell the people that the widow knows that they are all rebellious and coerced, and the widow will not pursue this matter." As for the rebels outside the city, there were few killings in this battle, so that the people did not have to worry about their relatives outside the city. ”

"Yui."

"Also, later, you will lead your headquarters to patrol the city, and you must not let the small people cause trouble in the city."

"Yui." Sima Jian answered again.

Then, Xiong Huai asked again: "Hui, the widow heard that Tingli Jiezi, Yin Huizi of Qianshou County, and Yin Sunhao of Xianshou County were all held hostage by the rebels, and now that Shou County has recovered, what is their situation?" ”

"Back to the king, they have all been rescued, and at this moment, they are bathing and changing their clothes, waiting for the king to summon them."

"Oh, good." Xiong Huai suddenly let out a long breath.

At the beginning, Jiezi came to Jianghuai, but he specially sent to ignite the volcano Jianghuai, if something happened to Jiezi, then he could not escape the blame, and he would be uneasy.

Now I am relieved to hear that the pick-up is fine.

However, Xiong Huai did not expect that Yin Sunhao of Shou County, who was originally sent by him to Shou County to appease the Jianghuai nobles, this minister who was friendly with the Jianghuai nobles and opposed to the change of the law, was not followed by the persecution and temptation of rebellion, but unswervingly stood with him, the king of Chu.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai had to sigh at the complexity of people's hearts.

It's black and white, and this is really something that only happens in fairy tales.

While speaking, Wang Che entered the Shou County Palace.

Then, Xiong Huai entered the main hall of the other palace, and as soon as he sat down, someone outside the hall reported: "The king, Tingli and Shouxian Yin ask to meet." ”

"Please!"

Soon, the red-faced Jiezi and Sun Hao walked into the hall.

After the ceremony.

Xiong Huai looked at the two people who were still a little depressed after bathing, and couldn't help but ask with great concern: "The two virtuous kings, the nobles rebelled, so that the two of them fell into the hands of rebellion, and I have wronged you during this time." I wonder if they have embarrassed the two virtuous people? ”

When Jiezi heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said: "Thank you for your care, but the minister is okay, and the minister is also a little famous, so although the minister is imprisoned, he is also treated with courtesy." ”

Sun Hao said with a little embarrassment: "The king, the minister has a little thin face, so he is also treated with courtesy." ”

Xiong Huai glanced at the embarrassed Sun Hao, didn't care, and said with a smile: "The two virtuous ministers are fine, and the widow is relieved." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai smiled and said: "The two virtuous gentlemen, the widow has not had breakfast yet, and when Huizi comes, the three virtuous ladies will accompany the widow to have breakfast together." ”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately arched their hands and said, "King Xie." ”

While the three of them were talking, Xiang Chengjun, who was in charge of guarding the palace, hurriedly walked into the palace: "King, it's not good, Keiko died suddenly in the bath just now." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned and said in disbelief: "How is this possible, just now Qu Hui said that Keiko was fine when he was rescued?" ”

"Not bad." Jiezi frowned and said, "When the three of us were released, Keiko also talked to us, why did Keiko die?" ”

Sun Hao was also shocked: "Yes, Keiko was fine just now." ”

Xiang Ji hurriedly arched his hand and said, "King, the minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense. ”

Xiong Huai immediately stood up, and while hurrying out, he commanded: "Lead the way!" ”

"Yui."

Not long after, when Xiong Huai came to Hui An's corpse, he saw Hui Ang sitting in the bath, leaning his head against the edge of the bath with a relaxed face, as if he was sleeping, but in fact he was really gone, and he walked very peacefully.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai's heart was both happy and sad.

The happy thing is that Hui Ang is not painful, the sad thing is that Hui Ang is gone, and what is even more sad is that Hui Ang met him at the age of the weak crown, he is two years older than Hui Ang, and now, Hui Ang is also gone.

Another old friend is gone.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said with sadness: "Spread the edict, posthumously seal Yin Huizi of Qianshou County as Shou Chengjun, enjoy thousands of households, and his title will be inherited by his son." ”

"Yui."

"Spread the edict, immediately send someone to inform the King of Song, inform him of the death of Huizi, and inform Huizi's descendants in the Song Kingdom."

"Yui."
