Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

In August, the King of Qin received a secret report that the Governor of Yongzhou, Wang Pi, was privately forging weapons and seemed to have ulterior motives. Therefore, he sent Lin Jingde, a deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to secretly investigate during his inspection of Yongzhou's political affairs. Several days later, Lin Jingde was assassinated in the fragrant boudoir of the famous courtesan Shi Jiangzhu at the Piaoxiang Tower, causing a sensation in the court and the public.

No need! Murong Chong's fingers twirled a chess piece as he said, If he really had doubts, he should have brought his army with him.

When the news reached the Prefect's Mansion in Pingyang, Biluo was half-leaning on the bamboo couch, playing Go with Murong Chong. Upon hearing the news, her hands trembled slightly, and a white piece slipped through her fingers, spinning on the ground.

The golden autumn sunlight, filtered through the carved flower window lattice, gently falls on the forehead of this young man, casting a faint halo, like the hazy night sky after a sudden clear, the halo around the hazy moon; and the hidden pain in his eyes finally becomes more and more vivid in the pale halo of the moon.

"Fu Hui?" The deep and autumn-like eyes of Murong Chong suddenly became profound, and he asked, "What is he here for?"

Although he is a distant uncle of Murong Chong, he is only a few years older than Murong Chong. He has a stern and thin appearance, and he deeply respects Murong Chong, who comes from the royal family of Dayan. He has been following him from the capital Chang'an to Pingyang for nearly ten years.

Murong Yong asked cautiously, "Should we disperse the secretly prepared weapons and hide them in reliable Xianbei fortresses?"

Murong Chong lives a simple life and pays little attention to political affairs. He delegates most of the political affairs in Pingyang to Murong Yong and others to handle.

At that moment, his eyes were like the cold, finely polished black chess piece in his hand, bright and clean, but lacking vitality.

Murong Chong naturally hopes to make a bigger fuss, but now, Fu Hui has easily captured Fu Yang, without posing any threat to him, let alone causing the ideal chaos in the Qin Dynasty.

Murong Chong is still very peaceful. He calmly placed a piece on the chessboard and said lightly, "I understand."

King Qin's third son, Duke Pingyuan, Fu Hui, was sent by Fu Jian to immediately go to Yongzhou to investigate this matter. Before arriving at Yongzhou, he was intercepted by his cousin, Duke Donghai, Fu Yang, who had joined forces with Wang Pi to besiege him. Fu Hui was well-prepared and engaged in a fierce battle with Fu Yang's army outside the city of Yongzhou. He captured Fu Yang, Wang Pi, and others, who were the leaders of the opposing army, and brought them to the court for punishment.

Just, time and time again disappointment, will it make a person's heart become more and more numb, even numb to the point of not feeling pain and joy?

A rebellion within the Fu clan ended in failure.

After Fu Hui settled the affairs of Yongzhou, I heard that he was coming here. It is estimated that he will arrive at Pingyang City within one or two days.

As if listening to an irrelevant matter, he didn't even blink his eyes and remained elegant and calm. After observing for a long time, Biluo vaguely felt that there was a moment of emptiness and sadness in Murong Chong's eyes, as if they had darkened slightly.

At one point, Murong Yong left, and Murong Chong picked up a black piece, but it didn't fall for a long time.

His gaze became distant, and a hint of disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Perhaps, he has never regarded me as a worthy opponent?"

Emperor Fu Jian, who was forty-seven years old, successively conquered the Yan, Liang, and Dai states, defeated the Xiongnu, established control over the Western Regions, and brought all the northern territories under the rule of the Great Qin, except for the relatively secure Eastern Jin in the Jiangnan region.

Or, disappointment, too many times already, even one more time, will not increase much sadness.

During this year, it was the seventh year of the Taiyuan era of the Eastern Jin dynasty and the 18th year of the Jianyuan era of the Former Qin dynasty.
