The cold wind on a cold night is like a knife, but the inside of the house is warm like spring.

Mei Long shook the teacup in his hand, and heard footsteps behind the screen, so he put down the teacup, looked up, and saw Wei Fan coming out from behind the screen, followed by a burly sweater.

"Maedu!" Wei Fan's feet quickened, and he stepped forward lightly, approaching Mei Long's ear, "This is the messenger sent by Chu Huan." ”

Mei Long was looking at the big man, and saw that one of the big man's sleeves was empty, frowning, but the big man had already stepped forward, and he also looked Mei Long up and down, and said with a smile: "Presumably this is Mei Du, the contemptible hatred is like blood, where did it come from, Mei Du must have already known." ”

Mei Long suddenly sank his face and said coldly: "Qiu Rublood, you are really bold, do you know that when this governor gives an order, you will have to fall to the ground." ”

"If Qiu was afraid, he wouldn't have come to see Mei Du." Qiu Ruxue was not afraid, and said lightly: "It's Mei Du, who wants to see Qiu Mou, but he doesn't dare to meet in the Governor's Palace, but he wants to dodge and come to Lord Wei's mansion, which shows that Mei Du's current situation is really not very good, at least on his own territory, he is not comfortable." ”

Wei Fan hurriedly said: "Hatred is like blood, don't talk nonsense, Mei Du!" ”

Mei Long had already raised his hand to stop, staring at Qiu Ruxue's eyes, but Qiu Ruxue was also staring at Mei Long's eyes, without the slightest fear.

"Well, I really have the guts!" Mei Long suddenly smiled and said, "Sit down and talk!" ”

Only then did Qiu Ruxue step forward, sit down opposite Mei Long, and said straight to the point: "Since Mei Du saw me, he must also know that your current situation is already very dangerous. ”

"Ben Du asked you, did the Holy One really die?" Mei Long doesn't beat around the bush either.

Qiu Ruxue said: "This is true, and there will never be a false." In fact, with Mei Du's shrewdness, he should have guessed it. Hujin is the last piece of territory of the Qin State, and if Dingwu wants to make a comeback, he only has this last place to help, so it is naturally impossible to give up easily. It's just that now, Dingwu still hasn't arrived, of course, and he will never come. ”

Mei Long sneered, "Why should Ben Du believe your words? ”

Qiu Ruxue did not hesitate, stuffed one arm into his arms, took out a thing, threw it away, Mei Long took it with his hand, looked at it carefully, and his face changed slightly.

"Mei Du should know this thing, this is a royal token, only the prince can have such a jade pendant." Qiu Ruxue said: "It is engraved with the words of East Palace, which is a token that Dingwu had when he was the prince, but he has always carried it with him, although he calls himself the emperor, he has not abandoned it." ”

Mei Long frowned and said, "This is from the Holy Lord?" ”

"If he didn't die, how could we let this jade pendant fall into our hands?" Qiu Ruxue said: "With this thing, I don't know if Mei Du believes that Dingwu is dead?" ”

Mei Long held the Donggong jade pendant in his hand, pondered for a long time, and finally asked, "What is Chu Huan sending you here for?" ”

"The purpose of the king of Chu is very simple, so that the soldiers on both sides will shed less blood and the people will suffer less." Qiu Ruxue said: "The king of Chu has 100,000 male soldiers, invincible, and the world is turbulent, but anyone with lofty ideals naturally cannot watch the world continue to be turbulent, and it is naturally the purpose of the king of Chu to unify the four seas and make the world peaceful." ”

"It's ambitious." Mei Long smiled faintly: "Does Chu Huan have this ability?" ”

"The Northwest Army has had this heart since the king of Chu." Qiu Ruxue said: "Even if there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of him, the king of Chu will take 100,000 northwest soldiers to step on the past." Meidu, with all due respect, once the north is initially decided, the Northwest Army will naturally go south, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is Hujin Dao. ”

Mei Long said coldly: "Listen to what you mean, it seems that you are threatening this governor!" ”

"Qiu is a rough person, he has something to say, he is quick to talk, and he won't beat around the bush, but because of this, everything he says is the truth." Qiu Ruxue said: "The King of Chu will not threaten Meidu, in fact, in my opinion, it is not the King of Chu who really threatens Meidu now, but Xuanyuan Shao!" ”

"Oh?"

"This time, I happened to see Wenpu's garrison on the way." Qiu Ruxue said: "Although it is a defeated soldier who retreated from Yanshan, but in my heart, the soldiers and horses under Wenpu are well-equipped, strong and well-trained, and they are real elite soldiers." Dingwu is dead, Wenpu's soldiers and horses belong to Yuan Shao's command, dare to ask Mei Du, this army in the hands of Xuanyuan Shao, compared to the strength in Mei Du's hands, I don't know whether it is strong or weak? ”

Wei Fan coughed twice and said: "Hatred is like blood, Hujin has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, how can Xuanyuan Shao's thousands of men and horses be compared?" ”

"In this way, you have indeed compared in your hearts." Qiu Ruxue smiled and said: "Since Lord Wei said so, I won't argue, who is strong and who is weak, the two of you are naturally clear in their hearts." ”

Mei Long said with a calm face: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Don't Mei Du understand, what Qiu means is that Xuanyuan Shao will be anti-guest sooner or later." Qiu Ruxue said: "Xuanyuan Shao thinks that he was born in the first martial arts family of the Qin State, and has always controlled the most elite guards of the Qin State, Qiu Mou finds it hard to believe that if he stays in Hujin, he will obey Mei Du's withering and obey Mei Du's orders." The so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, if Mei Du can entrust everything to obey Xuanyuan Shao's orders, maybe he can still live, otherwise! ”

Mei Long's eyes were cold, but Qiu Ruxue had already continued: "Dingwu is dead, the Qin State has been destroyed, and Mei Du will not still have to guard the Qin State that has been destroyed." If that's the case, I'm afraid that in the end, I can really only be buried for the Qin State! ”

Mei Long suddenly got up, pulled out his knife, and sneered: "If you really want to accompany the funeral for the Qin State, this governor will kill you first and accompany the funeral together!" ”

"If Maedu can have today's status, how can he be a rough and reckless man?" Qiu Ruxue was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Qiu Mou is here, it is on the order of the King of Chu, and he talks to Mei Du from the heart, in fact, at this time, there is no need to use conspiracy and tricks, the King of Chu said, the facts are laid out, there is no need to be reasonable, Mei Du can distinguish right from wrong." Glancing at the knife in Mei Long's hand, "Mei Du wants to kill me, Qiu will naturally not resist, and resistance is in vain, but even if he kills me, it won't change Mei Du's current situation." ”

Mei Long stared at Qiu Ruxue's eyes, and soon, he dropped the knife in his hand and said with a smile: "Qiu Ruxue, you are really a happy person, and Bendu likes your temper." Okay, tell the Governor, what should the Governor do? You are right, Wenpu's soldiers and horses are brave and good at fighting, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of the governor, the main force is deployed on the southern front, to block the Qingtian King, Zhengcheng's soldiers and horses, less than 3,000 people, Xuanyuan Shao has sent people to mobilize Wenpu, the slowest in six or seven days, Wenpu's soldiers and horses will rush to Zhengcheng, the governor also tells you the truth, once Wenpu's soldiers and horses arrive, the strength in the hands of the governor is indeed not as good as Xuanyuan Shao, with Xuanyuan Shao's temperament, will also step on the governor's head. ”

Qiu Ruxue looked left and right, and Wei Fan had already said: "You don't have to worry, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, except for the three of us, there will never be a fourth ear to hear it." ”

"Good!" Qiu Ruxue said: "Since Mei Du is in his heart, then Qiu will no longer hide it." The meaning of the king of Chu is that if Mei Du can jointly promote righteousness, once the matter is completed, Mei Du will be given the title of duke, and at least ten thousand households will be rewarded with food and shade. He took out a letter again, but this time he didn't throw it away, but got up and sent it over, "This is a handwritten letter from the king of Chu, and it has a handprint, which can be regarded as a guarantee from the king of Chu to Meitu." ”

After Mei Long took it, he quickly opened it, glanced at it a few times, and looked at Wei Fan, who had already said in a low voice: "Mei Du, it seems that King Chu Chu treats each other with integrity, the general trend of the Qin State has gone, Xuanyuan Shao is suspicious, Mei Du Mei Du thinks twice!" ”

Mei Long hesitated for a moment, carefully put the letter back into the envelope, stuffed it into his arms, motioned for Qiu Ruxue to sit down, and said in a low voice: "Xuanyuan Shao is eyeing Hujin and mobilizing Wenpu, just to replace the governor, what do you think the governor should do next?" If Xuanyuan Shao's conspiracy succeeds, and the king of Chu goes south, it is still difficult to avoid fighting each other. ”

"Meidu, there is a good saying, people do not hurt the tiger, but the tiger harms people's hearts." Qiu Ruxue said: "Xuanyuan Shao's thoughts, we are already clear, he is a fierce tiger eyeing the side, if this tiger is not removed, Mei Du is only afraid that it will be difficult to sleep." ”

"Eliminate the tiger?" Mei Long frowned and said: "This tiger is not simple, if you are not careful, you can't get rid of the tiger, but you will be eaten by the tiger." Don't forget, Wenpu's thousands of soldiers and horses are also going to Zhengcheng, if we just get rid of the tiger here, and wait for Wenpu's wolf to come, we will still be in trouble. ”

"One wolf and one tiger must be eliminated." Qiu Ruxue said: "Actually, it is not difficult to get rid of this tiger, but just in case, this wolf and tiger must be shot at the same time." ”

Wei Fan immediately shook his head and said, "Mei Du, I'm afraid this won't work." Xuanyuan Shao is okay to say, even if he is powerful, but the total number of people under his hands is only one hundred and ten, but Wenpu has thousands of soldiers and horses, and they are all brave and good at fighting, our Zhengcheng's troops are not Wenpu's opponents at all, if the troops are transferred from the southern front and weaken the defense line in the south, not to mention, once Xuanyuan Shao detects that we have privately transferred troops, they will definitely be on guard! ”

"Dealing with Wenpu, it's naturally not good to go head-to-head." Qiu Ruxue said softly: "Lord Wei is right, the men and horses under Wen Pu are brave and good at fighting, and they are not easy to deal with. He lowered his voice and said: "But Lord Wei, don't forget, this Hujin is still Meidu's, and before Wenpu and Xuanyuan Shao will reconcile, Xuanyuan Shao will not dare to act recklessly, so in the middle, we should have a lot to do." ”

Mei Long stroked his beard thoughtfully, but Wei Fan also carried his hands behind his back and walked back and forth.
