In Wu Qing's courtyard, only the lights were on inside the house. During the day, Jing Yuhong's words had some effect. There were many guards patrolling around the courtyard.

Lu Chuan closed his eyes and glanced around the courtyard. They were all very ordinary city patrol officials. The leaders who led the team were not in a satisfactory state. They complained to each other that during the day, Xiang Yang didn't know what was going on. Jing Congyun's birthday was coming soon, so he was in vain.

trouble.

The two of them remained invisible and flashed into Wu Qing's house. Wu Qing did not close his eyes and meditate like he did during the day. Instead, he held a pen like a gun and repeatedly wrote the word "Qing" on the paper.

.

"The Qing Dynasty has never been able to defeat the fear of others." Yu Huan's figure appeared in the room, and he set up a soundproof ban, "Long time no see, Wu Qing."

Wu Qing's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and he leaned forward suddenly. He opened his eyes and looked behind Yu Huan, but there was no sign of that person, so the light in his eyes gradually went out.

"It's been a long time indeed. Jing Congyun's birthday is coming soon. Are you the envoys this time? As envoys of Utopia, you secretly came to meet me, a prisoner of the Wu Kingdom. Aren't you afraid that Jing Congyun will misunderstand me?"

"It's secret. It won't be a big deal if it's discovered. Cooperation between Jingguo and Utopia is a general trend. We're not letting you go by chatting with you. It won't affect the overall situation."

Yu Huan strolled forward, sat down opposite Wu Qing, and called Lu Chuan to come forward and say hello to Wu Qing.

"I've grown a lot taller." Wu Qing looked at Lu Chuan and said in the tone of an elder, "How are you doing in Utopia?"

As soon as he asked the question, he smiled and said, "Look at what I'm asking, no matter what, it's better than staying in Beining City. If you stay, you'll either go to the battlefield and be cannon fodder, or you'll have to escape from Beining City. It's not a good idea."

End."

Lu Chuan knew that the other person was not asking him, so he answered:

"We are doing well in Utopia. Uncle Jiang has gone to the Military Department and is doing what he is good at, training recruits in Utopia. Aunt Li has gone to the Finance Department and her work is relatively easy. Momo has adapted to going to school in Utopia.

Soon, I even got first place in the exam a while ago."

"That's good. He told me before that he served as a soldier in Wu State to learn some experience. Now it seems that he can apply what he learned." A smile appeared on Wu Qing's face. "Momo's matter

, it should have been solved, right?”

"Well, it should be settled. We will find out when her birthday is next year. In fact, Uncle Jiang also wanted to come to Jingguo this time, but we didn't let him. After all, he had fought with Jingguo for so many years and was worried about something happening.

." Lu Chuan explained as he remembered Wu Qing's disappointment at not seeing Jiang Tao just now.

"It's the right thing not to come. How can a reckless man like him know anything about diplomacy? What can he do if he comes to Jingguo? Could it be that he went crazy and came to save me?" Wu Qing shook his head. When he first saw Yu Huan, he was really

I had some expectations, but after I calmed down, what I said was true.

Jiang Tao has no position to save him, a member of the royal family of the Wu Kingdom. Not to mention whether he can be saved, even if he is rescued, will he be able to survive in Utopia?

"The treatment is not bad. It's an independent courtyard and no one is looking after you." Yu Huan looked around and found that the room was very clean. It seemed that someone came to clean and take care of it regularly.

"Jing Congyun just put me on the fire to roast me." Wu Qing shook his head and said. His treatment in Jingguo was different from that of all the captives. Others were imprisoned in the sky prison, but he just locked up Xiu.

Because he lived alone outside, Jing Congyun would come to chat with him from time to time.

Of course he thought about escaping, but on the one hand, he had no cultivation. If there was no one to help him, let alone escaping back to Wu Kingdom, it would be very difficult to even escape from Qingjuan.

On the other hand, it was because Jing Congyun had frankly warned him that if he escaped, Jing Congyun would execute ten of his subordinates every time he was caught. If he escaped successfully, he would kill all of his subordinates.

Jing Congyun was indeed recruiting him to rebel, but at the same time he was trying to break his heart. Perhaps to outsiders, he, Wu Qing, had already surrendered to Jing Guo.

"I will not join Jingguo. I am the royal family of Wuguo. I have been fighting against Jingguo for most of my life. How can I surrender and become a dog? Besides, Bing'er and Huining may still be alive. If I surrender, they will be there. How will the Wu Kingdom deal with itself? With Wu Yue's character, he will definitely kill them in anger."

Wu Qing sighed heavily. He didn't know what he was expecting. Maybe Jing Congyun told him that Emperor Tianwu appeared in the north, which gave him hope, but Emperor Tianwu failed to keep Xia Wujiang. Naturally, the country has no conditions for exchanging prisoners.

"I met Wu Bing in Dingxicheng a while ago. He probably knew the news that Uncle Jiang was in Utopia and wanted to ask Uncle Jiang to rescue you. I didn't see Miss Huining, so she must be in Dingxicheng as well." Wu Qing talked about his nephew and daughter, and Lu Chuan answered.

"They..." Wu Qing was startled, and then he guessed that they must have found the box he left behind, so he was a little annoyed.

"Hey, it was me who caused trouble for Lao Jiang. I originally thought that I would either come back victorious or die on the battlefield, so I thought that if I died, I could ask Lao Jiang to take care of Bing'er and the others, but I didn't expect..."

"Lu Chuan heard the news about you outside today. This kid is kind-hearted and he will still miss you after he goes back. So we came over and asked you if there is anything you want to send back. We will help you with it."

Yu Huan didn't like to be pretentious, so he spoke straight to the point, and even limited the help he could provide to a small area, helping to keep Wu Qing from making unrealistic demands.

Wu Qing looked at Yu Huan, then looked down at the pen, nodded immediately, then pushed all the papers with the word "Qing" written on them off the desk, found a new piece of clean paper, and laid it out on the table. on the desktop.

Lu Chuan and Yu Huan stood aside and waited for a while. Perhaps what they wanted to say had already been drafted during the days of being imprisoned in Jingguo. Wu Qing quickly finished two letters, folded them and put them away. on the table.

"This letter is for Lao Jiang, and this letter is for Bing'er. Sorry for bothering you both. Wu Qing will remember such a great kindness in his heart." Wu Qing stood up and bowed heavily, but halfway he was pulled by Yu Huan and pulled him away from him. He took the letter in his hand and put it away.

"Do you want to consider coming to Utopia? Lao Jiang is in Utopia, and your nephew and daughter are not far from Utopia. They can all come together. If you are willing, we can talk to Jing Congyun. With the relationship between our two countries, maybe chance of success.

If you can't let go, the worst you can do is just fake your own death like Lao Jiang. We won't make public the news that you joined Utopia, and we won't ask you to go to the battlefield.

You can go to college to teach, or you can use your talents to engage in production. You still have a long life, there is no need to be stuck here."

Yu Huan finally couldn't help but tried to persuade him. As he persuaded Wu Qing, he gradually started to laugh, as if he could imagine his life after going to Utopia.

"Thank you, the method you mentioned sounds pretty good." With a smile on his face, Wu Qing picked up the pen again, holding it like a spear, and then put it on a new piece of paper

, wrote the word "Qing".

"I know that people's words are terrible, and I also believe that the pure will self-purify. Thank you very much for your kindness. But I am the royal prince of the Wu Kingdom. I will not betray the Wu Kingdom and join the Jing Kingdom. Likewise, I will not join Utopia.

My name is Wu Qing, Wu from the Kingdom of Wu, Qing from the Pure Land."

...

"Wu Qing can't stand it any longer." Yu Huan sighed. After the two left the small courtyard where Wu Qing was, they quickly sneaked back to Zhao Wuya's mansion.

"Ah? Doesn't he look quite normal?"

"Living without hope and meaning is just torture for him." Yu Huan took out his cell phone, but after thinking about it, he put it away, and then took out the wine.

"Wu Guo couldn't save him, and he was unwilling to join Jing Guo and Utopia, so there was no hope. All his subordinates and the people who supported him died, dispersed, or were captured. It was difficult for him to face it, so he was left with only

The meaning of revenge.

If he were alive, Jing Congyun would try every means to force him, and the outside world would gradually doubt whether he had really betrayed him. Li Ling in the Han Dynasty was such an example.

If he dies, Wu Guo may think that he is a loyal minister and give additional rewards to his wife, daughter, and nephew to show others."

Lu Chuan thought about what Yu Huan said and felt that it was indeed true. "Then if we go there today, wouldn't we speed up the process? He will no longer worry about it after the letter is sent."

"He died because he was unwilling to treason. Whether we go or not, he will die. If we go, he can still pass on the news, but he has no regrets. This is a good thing." Yu Huan took a sip of wine.

"But even if he dies, it will not be easy to be innocent. Jing Congyun may fake an assassination scene, claiming that Wu Qing, who surrendered to Jingguo, was assassinated by Wuguo people, and then give Wu Qing a grand funeral."

Lu Chuan nodded. This seemed to be something Jing Congyun could do. Combined with all the previous plans, this lie should have a market. Even if Wu Guo officials knew that they did not send killers, Wu Qing did not commit treason.

"Should we tell Uncle Jiang?" Lu Chuan's mood was a little complicated. Wu Qing would rather die than commit treason. Even so, he could not prove his innocence.

"No, I will handle this matter. I will give him the letter personally after we go back." Yu Huan shook his head, "Go to rest early. There will be a celebration tomorrow. When the celebration is over and the cooperation between the two countries is reached,

We should go to Muping to find someone."

...

Jiang Tao:

Seeing the words is like seeing the face.

This name hasn't been called like this for hundreds of years, and it's quite awkward to write.

I was relieved to hear that you were living well in Utopia and that Momo's problem was solved. I was originally worried that you would be ostracized after you returned and would be subordinated to others. From this point of view, your friendship with fellow countrymen

It still counts.

But I still want to nag a few more words. You are rough-tempered, hard-tempered, and can’t get rid of the dirt in your eyes. Just work and live well in Utopia. Don’t take sides in politics. Don’t stand out when things happen. Qianqian and Momo both

They are smarter than you, so listen to their advice on everything.

Your new disciple Lu Chuan is very good, he is kind-hearted and well-organized. He can participate in the mission to Jingguo so quickly. I think he has already established a firm foothold in Utopia and will have a bright future in the future. You have not known each other for a long time, but after all

There is a love, don't cut off the contact.

I hope your family will have a happy life in Utopia and everything will go well.

I met Lu Chuan and Yu Huan in Jingguo. I was relieved that you didn't come.

I don't have the face to see you.

The Zhenbei Army and the Northern Army were completely wiped out, and I myself became a prisoner. The only thing that matters on the battlefield is victory or defeat. This time I was completely defeated.

During the time I was imprisoned in Jingdu, I didn’t suffer much physical torture, but I was suffering internally all the time. Every time I think of the Zhenbei Army and the people in Beining City, I deeply hate myself.

.

I think you may be the only one in the world who understands this feeling, but please be sure to scold me when you see it.

I'm a loser, I didn't do anything useful on the day I failed.

I tried my best. During this period, I reviewed the battle that day in detail countless times. No matter how I deduced it, whether it was unintentional or intentional, the outcome was a total collapse.

Therefore, you don't have to have any thoughts of self-blame. Even if you stay in Wu Kingdom and don't leave, nothing will change.

During this time in Jingdu, memories are the most precious wealth that supports me. My life has been on an uphill journey since I met you. From an ordinary royal family to a city lord relying on military merit, I became the youngest person in the Wu Kingdom.

extraordinary, but after you left, I fell into a complete failure.

It seems like you are really my lucky star.

I often think of the arguments you and I had, those words about people being more important than kings, people first, and everyone being equal.

You are right, I was just a little nice to the soldiers and people of Beining City, and they gave me all their trust and love in return.

But I am a waste and failed to protect them. I have no face to see you, let alone them.
To be continued...
