South Courtyard Red Clothes

Chapter 12 Qi Ziqian

After Dong Ai gave the man instructions, he started his daily life of tending flowers and plants. After the man answered the words, he jumped out of the palace wall, looked for a fast horse, and headed for Ji Guo at the fastest speed. On the way, I still rested in Yi Country for one night. When the Lord of Ji Kingdom sent Dong Ai to come, the route for delivering the letter had already been set up. The person entered Yi Country under the leadership of the informant. As soon as he entered the city gate, the informant left. The man drove his horse and continued on his way. Soldiers from the Jiang Kingdom were lined up on the city wall. The houses of the people living in the border area under the city wall were in dilapidated condition. Few of them survived the war. There were no laughter from children or shouts from vendors on the street. The doors of every house were ajar, and the faces and bodies of the people who came out from time to time were covered with dust, and the expressions on their faces were deep despair after no hope.The man looked at all this, calmly distributed the food with him to a few children sleeping in the street corner, and left.As the night approached the capital, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard fifty miles away. The man found a random small shop and closed the doors and windows to block the singing and dancing outside until the next morning.

He started his journey in the early morning when no one was around, and arrived at the city wall of Jiguo at noon. The guards on both sides stepped forward, bowed and then stretched out their hands to signal. After putting it in, the man found a secret alleyway and entered the courtyard in the study of the king of the palace.

Standing outside the door, the man took a deep breath. The air was filled with a strong, indelible smell of medicinal herbs. With a wry smile, the man pushed open the door. The bright yellow figure in the room was looking out of the window, hearing the sound Then he turned around and looked at him with a slight smile on his lips. Ji Guozhu's temples are gray, and he has grown a lot of gray hair before he entered old age. His declining physical strength and eyes that are no longer clear all tell people The fact is that the man is terminally ill.

The man stepped forward, raised his front and knelt down on one knee, and said, "Master Dong has said that Lu Qiye and Yang Hong are already on their way to Qi State to appease the people." After thinking for a moment, Ji Guozhu nodded with a smile and said, "Got it, you go down. ""yes."

Ji Guozhu sat behind the desk, bent his fingers and lightly tapped on the table, closed his eyes and meditated, then slowly opened his eyes, took the pen and paper on the side and began to write. After finishing writing, he picked it up and squinted his eyes to look carefully, as if watching some plaything , and then said, "Come here." A bodyguard of the Lord opened the door and walked forward. Lord Ji handed him the note in his hand and said, "Give this note to Qi Ziqian." Said After that, he turned his back and continued to look out the window.

Qi Ziqian is Ji Guozhu's secret guard. After receiving the note, he opened it and glanced at it, and there was a sentence on it: "Be sure to win over Yang Hong, Qi Guo, the chariots and horses are ready." Needless to say, Qi Ziqian immediately let's go.

After Yang Hong entered his cabin, he walked to the table. Just as he was about to pick up the teapot and pour a cup of tea, he realized that something was wrong. He frowned. Then he lifted the tablecloth and saw a letter on the table. Look at this At the scene, Yang Hong raised the corners of his mouth instead, picked up the letter on the table, sat down on the chair and read it slowly, then tore it up and opened the window without paying much attention. The river wind drifted away, and it was not very clear to see on the river at night.It disappeared into the night at once.

Qi Ziqian arrived one day later than Yang Hong and his party. On the day Yang Hong arrived, the local officials hurriedly took them to the mansion so that they could settle down. On the second day, Yang Hong went out to search and check the people's conditions. After Qi Ziqian arrived, He learned the location of the house from the gossip of the common people, and was about to walk there when he saw Yang Hong coming out from the corner of the street, Qi Ziqian walked over to pass him by, and met his eyes just as they brushed shoulders. On the ground, with a slight wink, he strode away, Yang Hong squinted his eyes and turned to look at his back, gave a few instructions to the attendants at the side, and continued to walk away as if nothing had happened.
