No correction

In the past, Ji Lang's face was ruthless, the hypocritical gentleness on his face was gone, he reached out to hold Wang Zizheng's hand, and wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead.

Wu Tang bandaged Prince Zheng's wound, and Ji Lang hid the ruthlessness on his face, coughed, and said, "Thank you, Duke Qi and King Chu, for your generous help."

Wu Jiu said: "There is no need to thank you. Although I don't know who these assassins are, they are not running away from Duke Zhou and the prince. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We must go on the road immediately."

Ji Lang glanced at the comatose Prince Zheng, and seemed a little hesitant, but their whereabouts had been exposed, wouldn't they be targeted if they didn't go on the road?There are three people in total, and they will definitely come to assassinate them one after another.

Although Qi and Chu have many soldiers and horses, assassinations are absolutely indispensable.

Ji Lang frowned, but still nodded, and said, "Okay, but it's up to Duke Qi and King Chu to arrange."

Wu Jiu nodded, and said: "Besides, if we are going on this way, Master Luo's people must have been prepared, we have to think of other ways."

Hearing what he said, Qihou smiled and said, "Second brother must have a good idea."

Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, and Qi Hou said, "Second Brother never disappoints Gu."

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "There is indeed a good way."

That night, they released the news that Prince Zheng was stabbed to death and that Marquis Qi was seriously injured.

In order to confuse the three groups of people, Wu Jiu also slowed down the pace of the large troops of Qi and Chu, pretending that Marquis Qi was seriously ill and unable to hurry on his way.

In this way, Wu corrected Marquis Qi, and then brought Prince Jilang Zheng, the four of them led a small group of elite soldiers, took a shortcut and quickly rushed to Luoshi.

Qi Hou asked someone to send a letter to Cao GUI who set off from Linzi City in Qi State, and asked Cao GUI to lead the troops to join them quickly. In this way, their team could avoid the three-way chasing troops by blindfolding and quickly arrive at Luo Division.

Ji Lang didn't have any objection, this is indeed a good way, it can deceive people's eyes and ears, the large army can block the sight of the three-way pursuers, and their small troops can also speed up their pace when they rush forward, but when they fail to join Cao GUI's army, they are a little risk.

But it's not that they don't bring soldiers and horses, they just bring less soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses around them are all elite soldiers among Ruo Ao's six elite soldiers, and Marquis Qi himself is a master, so there is no need to worry at all.

Taking advantage of the late night, everyone started to act immediately, and when they were all together, they took a small path and set off.

Wang Zizheng was already awake, but he lost too much blood and was a little dizzy. His right hand also had no strength for the time being, and he couldn't take care of himself. However, Wang Zizheng was not a coquettish person, so he agreed with Wu Jiu's method and followed the crowd.

They started on their way in the middle of the night. The group of people quickly shuttled through the woods, and quickly distanced themselves from the large army. The people did not dare to stop, and rushed forward for a day and a night. In the end, Wu Jiu was weak and couldn't hold on anymore. Qihou felt distressed Wu Jiu ordered the team to stop, they didn't dare to stay in the city, they could only set up tents in the wild and sleep in the wilderness.

Wu Jiu was not in good health, and the long journey was too much for him. During their journey, Wang Zizheng had a strong body, but Wang Zizheng was injured and lost a lot of blood, so it was not suitable for a fast journey. Ji Lang's body was stronger than that of Wu The corrections are limited, and it seems that only Qihou is in good health.

Everyone set up tents, because they were afraid that there would be too many tents and people would find out, but it was freezing cold, and if they didn’t set up tents, they would definitely freeze to death in the wild, so they only pitched two tents, and the soldiers lived in one tent. Prince Jilang Zheng lived in a tent.

When it was dark, only everyone lit a bonfire, kept warm and rested next to them, and at the same time heated up rice to fill their stomachs.

After traveling for such a long time, everyone was very tired and hungry. Wu Jiao sat by the campfire and planned to make a warm pimple soup. Warm stomach, but also comfortable.

Wu Jiao unloaded the ingredients that were about to be brought. They left in a hurry and did not bring too many ingredients. A bag of noodles was just right for making pimple soup, but these flours were a little small. I feel that just making a pimple soup is not enough.

So I searched again, and found a large piece of gluten from the ingredients.

Wu Jiao looked at the big piece of gluten, then turned his head to look at the bonfire, his eyes lit up, how about making a roast gluten to eat?

Qi Hou saw Wu Jiu chattering in a hurry, so he came over to help and said, "Second brother, can I help you?"

Wu Jiu didn't dare to ask him to help, they had managed to set up the tent, the place was still in the woods, and the weather was dry, what if it caught fire?

Seeing Wu Jiu looking at him with distrust, Qi Hou immediately said pitifully, "Second Brother, do you dislike Gu?"

In front of everyone, although Ruo Ao's six soldiers have gotten used to Qi Hou's "style", but Ji Lang and Prince Zheng Ke are still newcomers to the team, and they are surprised to see Qi Hou acting cute suddenly.

Wu Jiao coughed and said hastily, "Jiao is afraid that Your Majesty will be tired. Your Majesty has had a hard journey, so sit down and rest for a while."

Only then did Qi Hou say with a smile: "Gu knows it, the second brother loves Gu the most."

Wu Jiu gave a dry laugh, coaxed Qihou to rest aside, and then started talking about it himself. Pimple soup is very easy to make, just make some noodles, and roasted gluten is even better. Gluten is ready-made, as long as skewered Get up, sprinkle some seasoning on it.

Roasted gluten is very strong, coupled with the aroma of roasting, it also has a taste similar to meat kebabs, and the processing is simple. It is a very common snack in modern times. You can often see small stalls with pancakes and gluten at the entrance of the subway station. Son.

In the past, Wu Jiu was very busy with work, so he would occasionally buy some baked gluten to eat, which is convenient and satisfying.

Wu Jiao skewered the gluten, and Ji Lang and Wang Zizheng next to him had never eaten such a thing as grilled skewers, so they looked very strange, and seeing Wu Jiao make some powder and spread them on those skewers, they felt even more Strange.

At this time, Qi Hou felt a sense of pride spontaneously, because he knew that the second brother must cook skewers and eat them. Qi Hou likes to eat fried things, and also likes to eat grilled things.

Soon, Wu Jiu was busy making pimple soup while he was busy roasting gluten. After grilling on the bonfire, coupled with the aroma of seasoning, the aroma was forced out by the fire, and the strong and overbearing aroma rushed to his face.

Ji Lang and Wang Zizheng are both nobles. They grew up with rich clothes and fine food, and never tasted delicacies from mountains and seas. However, this simple food exudes a rich aroma, which seduces everyone's taste buds. Stare at that skewer of roasted gluten.

Qi Hou hadn't eaten the dishes made by the second brother for a long time, and when he smelled the aroma, he couldn't hold back immediately, and hurried over, and said with a smile: "Second brother, do you try it for me?"

Wu Jiu was very helpless, trying to see if he was familiar with it, he was obviously greedy.

However, Wu Jiao saw that Qi Hou looked very hungry, so he still brought over a bunch of roasted gluten, handed it to Qi Hou, and said: "Blow it to cool before eating, be careful of burning your mouth."

Qi Hou promised a series of promises, but he still stuffed it into his mouth quickly. Wu Jiao cut the roasted gluten with a flower knife. However, it was baked crispy and raw, with a smell of burnt aroma. It can be said that the outside was burnt and the inside was tender. It was obviously ordinary gluten. Delicious meat!

Qi Hou ate a bunch of roasted gluten in one go, he kept "sizzling" because it was so hot, but he still refused to slow down the speed of eating gluten.

Wu Jiao looked helpless, and when he looked up, he saw the surprised eyes of Ji Lang and Wang Zizheng, so he gave a dry laugh, and shared the roasted gluten with the two of them to distract them.

Wu Jiu roasted the gluten for them, and then took out the cooked pimple soup from the big pot and shared it with everyone. Everyone ate the gluten and drank the hot pimple soup.

Neither Ji Lang nor Wang Zizheng had ever seen anything "worldly". They were all stunned when they took a bite of the roasted gluten. .

It is more springy than meat, not more lean than lean meat, not more greasy than fatty meat. The taste of the mouth is really wonderful. Besides, the seasoning is also excellent. In fact, Wu Jiao's seasoning is to imitate the taste of cumin as much as possible. There is no cumin, so it can only be imitated, with some spices close to the taste of cumin.

In fact, the taste of what they ate was similar to kebabs. Everyone was surprised to be able to eat this kind of food in the wilderness. They thought they would eat Guokui pancakes along the way.

Ji Lang and Wang Zizheng took another sip of the pimple soup, and there were some broken frangipani floating in the soup, because the eggs they brought were limited, so there were actually very few frangipani, just scattered and scattered. , and some diced bamboo shoots. In fact, this bowl of soup is very clear, but the taste is surprisingly fresh.

Wu Jiao also added some seasoning, because mushrooms and vegetables are not easy to preserve these days, so Wu Jiao prepared some homemade seasonings before going out, grinding mushrooms and some very salty ingredients into powder, It is made into a seasoning similar to chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, but this seasoning is absolutely natural and has no additives.

At this time, put it in the soup and cook it. Although there are no special ingredients in the soup, the aroma cannot be stopped once it is cooked. In addition, there are some gnocchi in it, and the gnocchi is very delicious. I can't wait for the gnocchi to taste better than fish balls.

Ji Lang and Wang Zizheng had never eaten these things before. A bowl of warm pimple soup, together with the fragrant roasted gluten, Wu Jiao also made some Yuejiao in it, which is just right for eating in winter.

Qi Hou ate ten sticks of roasted gluten in one go, and he still couldn't get enough of it, but the gluten they brought was limited, and Qi Hou didn't have enough gluten, so Wu Jiu finally had to take out Guokui pancakes and bake them with the same seasoning. Qihou was also very happy to eat.

Wang Zizheng was injured, he lost too much blood and felt very cold all the time. He drank the pimple soup at this time, and immediately drank it warmer, and quickly drank all the pimple soup.

Ji Lang has always been worried about Wang Zizheng, because Wang Zizheng lost blood, so he has no appetite, even drinking water will feel nauseated, but Wang Zizheng actually ate a big bowl of pimple soup, it will be much easier to eat.

Seeing that Wang Zizheng liked to drink pimple soup, Wu Jiao smiled and said to Wang Zizheng, "Shall I help you get another bowl?"

The soldiers also drank a large pot of pimple soup, so each person only got one bowl, while Qi Hou got a big bowl, and when gold was put into the pot, there was only one pot bottom left, and at most a smaller bowl could be filled. Qihou has been spying on that bowl for a long time, but he is not ashamed to say it.

As a result, when Qi Hou heard about it, his second brother wanted to serve this precious bowl of pimple soup to Wang Zizheng!

Qi Hou immediately rang the alarm bell, regretting that he was too reserved just now, why he didn't drink directly, but it was already too late, Wu Jiao took out the last bit of pimple soup and handed it to Wang Zizheng.

Prince Zheng quickly thanked Wu Jiu and said, "Thank you, King Chu."

Wu Jiao said with a smile: "It's nothing, the prince is injured, it's good to use more, there are no ingredients in this wilderness that can replenish blood, if there are some ingredients, it will be fine."

Prince Zheng thanked Wu Jiu, and because he was still hungry, he brought over the pimple soup and drank it. Qihou looked at it as sour, his stomach was bubbling, and he looked at Wu Jiao resentfully.

Wu Jiu was eating, and when he raised his head, he met Qi Hou's resentful eyes, and immediately felt a headache. Qi Hou bit the pancake, leaned over pitifully, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, why did you give the soup to Prince Zheng?" gone?"

Wu Jiu said helplessly: "Prince Zheng is a patient, and isn't he also your good friend? A bowl of pimple soup, wouldn't you be reluctant to part with it?"

Qi Hou said very righteously: "Although it is a bowl of pimple soup, but in Gu Xin's heart, the craftsmanship of the second brother is a peerless treasure."

good justice...

Wu Jiu was speechless, and Qi Hou learned to give him a high hat.

Wu Jiu had no choice but to say: "When we meet with General Cao's army, I will only do it for you, okay?"

After hearing Wu Jiu's words, Qi Hou said reluctantly, "Second brother can't lie."

Wu Jiu almost rolled his eyes, and said, "It's just a bowl of pimple soup, how could Jiu deceive Your Majesty?"

Qi Hou immediately said with a smile: "Gu knows it, the second brother still likes to see Gu the most."

In order to prevent Qi Hou from going crazy, Wu Jiu quickly stuffed him with another pancake. They brought a lot of pancakes. This pancake is easy to preserve and tops the pack. Wu Jiao asked Qi Hou to eat one more.

Everyone ate roast gluten and drank pimple soup, relieved the exhaustion and hunger of the journey, and then felt alive. In the morning, at dawn, they will hurry on their way and continue to rush to Master Luo, so everyone hurry Into the tent to rest.

In order to avoid being discovered, they could not light a bonfire, and they extinguished the bonfire before entering the camp.

Marquis Qi of Wu Jiao and Prince Zheng of Ji Lang shared a tent, and the four of them went in. The space was not big, it could be said to be very narrow.

Everyone lay down, the conditions were very difficult, but there was no way, they all got under the quilt, Wu tangled his clothes, but shivered from the cold, shivering all the time, wishing that his upper and lower teeth could "catch each other".

Qi Hou turned over and put his arms around Wu Jiu, Wu Jiu quickly slipped into his arms, Qi Hou smiled and said, "Second brother, is it so cold?"

Wu Jiu nodded vigorously, and said in a trembling voice, "There's no bonfire, so of course it's cold."

Ji Lang and Prince Zheng fell asleep soon after entering because they were exhausted. Although it was also very cold, they were not so cold that they couldn't fall asleep like Wu Jiao.

Qi Hou put his arms around him, feeling that Wu Jiu had automatically slipped into his arms, and said with a flattering smile, "Then let's do something to warm things up, how about?"

Wu Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then his face became hot, and he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't be joking, this is in the tent, Duke Zhou and the prince are here."

Qihou said with a smile: "But the second brother is so cold, what should I do if my heart hurts?"

Wu Jiao exclaimed, quickly covered his mouth, and said, "Don't move around, you!"

Qi Hou said in a low voice: "Shh - if the second brother's voice is too loud and wakes up Duke Zhou and the prince, don't blame Gu."

Ji Lang and Wang Zizheng on the opposite side were indeed asleep, but Wang Zizheng was a martial arts practitioner and was in the wild, so he was very alert, and woke up immediately when he heard the sound, but when he listened carefully, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Prince Zheng is still young and doesn't have a concubine, let alone a prince's wife, so he doesn't have much experience in this field. However, he also knows that he will marry a woman in the future. He was stunned by the movement, he didn't expect Qihou and Wu Jiao to have such a relationship.

Prince Zheng is an aristocrat, and Nanfeng has heard of it, but he didn't expect it at all.

Wu Jiu didn't know that Prince Zheng woke up, and finally fell asleep in Qihou's arms exhaustedly. Prince Zheng was miserable, so he pretended to be sleeping in embarrassment, but he heard a rustling sound. Qihou got up and went out for a while, and then He came back again, and seemed to have found a clean veil.

Prince Zheng waited for Qihou to go out, opened his eyes, looked sideways at Wu Jiao, he and Wu Jiao were both sleeping on the outermost side of the tent, separated by Qihou and Ji Lang, now that Qihou had gone out, only Going down to Jilang, Wang Zizheng looked through Jilang and looked at Wu Jiu at the top. He saw that he was exhausted, fell asleep drowsily, and his face was still bright red. Seeing this, he felt even more embarrassed, and hurriedly Turn your head away.

It turned out that Qi Hou just came back, and Qi Hou's eyes collided with Wang Zizheng. Wang Zizheng was even more embarrassed, and he was so embarrassed that he was dying. Like a demonstration, it shows ownership.

The next morning, everyone hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to leave. Wu Jiao got up tiredly, rubbed his eyes, and saw Wang Zizheng as soon as he got out of the tent. He didn't know that Wang Zizheng watched the whole process yesterday, and he was arrested by Qi Hou. provocative.

When Wang Zizheng saw Wu Jiao, he immediately lowered his head in embarrassment, greeted him hastily, and ran away. Wu Jiao asked strangely, "What's wrong, Prince?"

Qihou said: "Who knows, maybe I drank too much pimple soup yesterday and felt uncomfortable?"

Wu Jiu glanced at Qi Hou helplessly, thinking that Qi Hou is so narrow-minded, he still remembers his pimple soup?

The sky was gray, and everyone was on their way soon, and hurried to Luoshi. They entered Zhou Kingdom from Shendi, and the first thing they came to was Luonan.

Luonan City was heavily guarded, many soldiers were walking around, everyone had to disguise themselves as merchants, and then sneaked in through the city gate, and then they didn't dare to stay, passed through Luonan City, and hurried to Luoshi.

They hurried on this way, and the large troops behind them successfully held off the pursuers from the three sides. Although Wu Jiu and the others traveled hard, they didn't encounter any pursuers at all, and the journey was considered safe.

Today, everyone has arrived at the outskirts of Luoshi. The closer you get to Luoshi, the more heavily guarded you will feel. There are big banners, and they hurried to the Luo division.

Everyone came all the way to Luoshi, and they were supposed to meet Cao GUI at this place, but Cao GUI was obviously blocked there, and it didn't go well. They waited from dawn to dark, and the outskirts of Luoshi were not safe.

There was a large army passing by outside the Luo division. Although all the princes are here to attend the funeral, the funeral is actually an excuse. It is serious to want to support the new king. Everyone has their own interests. The army in Cao GUI did not join them. At that time, it was very dangerous for them to stay here, and they would get lost at some point. Now their team is very small, and they can wear small shoes for them in any small country.

When everyone waited until dusk, Marquis Qi couldn't sit still and said, "Let's go directly to the city."

Everyone was very hesitant. It was not safe to stay here, nor was it safe to enter the city. They didn't know what to do.

In the end, everyone came together and decided to enter the city. After all, Ji Lang still had some connections in Master Luo, so as long as he could successfully enter the city, he would be half safe.

Everyone walked in along with the crowd entering the city. Although the security in front was strict, they planned to pretend to be merchants and sneak in.

Everyone walked to the gate of the city and accepted the investigation. The soldiers guarding the city checked their luggage. Although they were strict, they did not go through them one by one. It happened to be dark, and the guards were the most relaxed time of the day, so they waved their hands and prepared to let them go. Into the city.

Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to follow the crowd to leave the city gate, but at this moment, he suddenly heard "Stop!", the voice was still very familiar.

Wu Jiu turned his head and saw a man coming down from Luoshi's city gate. The man was wearing an official robe, but it was not the official robe of Zhou State, but the official robe of Lu State. He walked over with his chin in his hands.

Wu Jiu saw that Yuanjia Road was narrow, and it turned out to be Qingfu, the son of Lu State!

Duke Lu ordered troops to be garrisoned and sent troops to escort Hu Qi's "illegitimate son" into the Luo division, and the person leading the army was the son of Lu State, Duke Lu's elder brother Qingfu.

Father Qing and Liang Zi, Marquis of Qi Wu, have not been married for a day or two. Father Qing was severely humiliated by Duke Lu because of Li Ji's matter before. This time he brought troops here to make up for his mistakes.

Father Qing stood on the top of the city tower, he was about to leave, but when he looked downstairs, he saw an acquaintance, and that acquaintance was undoubtedly Marquis Qi.

Although Qihou was dressed in disguise, very low-key and dressed in rough clothes, he was tall and tall, no matter how low-key he was, he stood out from the crowd. Father Qing saw him when he looked upstairs.

When Father Qing saw Qihou and saw that there were no soldiers around him, he immediately became excited. After he was put together by Wu Jiu and Qihou, he basically lost the trust of Duke Lu. Looking at it now, it is a good time to make up for his mistakes. If he can establish Hu Qi's "illegitimate son" as the new king, and kill Qi Hou and Wu Jiu together, then it will be a great achievement, and Duke Lu will look at his face.

Father Qing immediately squinted his eyes and quickly came down from the tower.

Because Luoshi is in chaos now, many forces are acting independently, and Lu Guo led troops in, so the guards dare not provoke Qingfu at all, and Qingfu has become a local snake.

So no one dared to stop Qing's father, and wanted to flatter Qing's father. Qing's father came down from the tower proudly, and said with a smile, "Look, look, who is this?"

He said, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the State of Lu quickly lined up and surrounded them from all directions, "Wow!" and surrounded them in the middle.

Ruo Ao's six soldiers in disguise next to him were about to fight, Wu Jiu immediately raised his hand and said, "Don't act rashly."

The soldiers were well-trained, and under Wu Jiu's order, even if Lu Guo's weapon was resting on his neck, he would not blink, let alone shake.

The soldiers of Ruo Ao's six soldiers stopped immediately, and Qing's father thought they were afraid, so he walked over slowly.

Father Qing said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you here again today. Is it really...fate?"

Qihou smiled coldly and said, "Young Master Lu, what is the meaning of this? When did Luoshi's city gate become opened by your country of Lu?"

Father Qing smiled faintly, and said: "Naturally, our country of Lu didn't open the city gate of Luoshi, but...now there are always some rebellious officials and thieves in Luoshi, and the Rong and Di people from the north take advantage of the opportunity to invade. He intends to infiltrate Master Luo to cause chaos, Father Qing, as a courtier of Zhou State, naturally wants to share his worries for Zhou State, so he should check carefully to see if there are any thieves who are planning to infiltrate Master Luo!"

As Father Qing said, he looked at them, clearly saying that they were traitors.

Qihou said coldly: "Rebellious officials and thieves?"

Father Qing said, "Exactly!"

As he spoke, he turned to the Lu soldiers and said, "Come here! Let me take down these rebellious officials and thieves!"

He said that the soldiers of Lu State were about to move and rushed over quickly. Wu Jiu said: "Young Master Lu is really good at making jokes. Our friendship with Duke Lu is not a day or two. Don't you know that Mr. Lu knows the widow and Qi?" male?"

Father Qing laughed out loud, looking quite like a villain, and said, "What widow? What Duke Qi? Where is Duke Qi? Why didn't I see it!? What I saw were rebellious officials and thieves!"

Wu Jiu said, "Young Master Lu, are you going to talk nonsense with your eyes open?"

Father Qing said: "What? Now my son is going to open his eyes and talk nonsense, what can you do to me? Stop talking nonsense, let me take down these rebellious officials and thieves who intend to sneak into the palace, and immediately behead them for public display!"

At this moment, Ji Lang yelled sharply, "Presumptuous!"

Don't look at Ji Lang's gentle appearance on weekdays, but in fact it's all a disguise. Ji Lang was not a gentle person at first, but now his face is gloomy. Although his face is pale, he is quite majestic.

Ji Lang said sharply, "Young master Lu, this is Master Luo, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if you want to arrest someone, then arrest him, what's the point?"

Qing's father looked at Ji Lang and said, "Decent? Our country of Lu is Decent!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the soldiers surrounded them. Just as the soldiers of the State of Lu quickly surrounded them, they suddenly heard the sound of "tattling" footsteps, and a cloud of dust suddenly rose from the gate of Luoshi's city. Quickly rushing over from a distance, one can vaguely see a large flag erected in the team, with the word "Qi" written on it.

Qing's father was going to pretend to be stupid and arrest people, but at this moment, a large army of Qi State suddenly rushed over and rushed towards the city gate. Although the soldiers of Lu State had already surrounded Qi Hou Wu Jiu and the others, There are many Qi soldiers on that road, and the leader is Cao GUI, the general of Qi.

Cao GUI rode on a tall horse and rushed into the city gate, when he heard the neighing of the war horse, the tall horse kicked hard and almost hit Father Qing.

Father Qing wanted to dodge, but Cao GUI's long sword was already out of its sheath with a "shua!", and the tip of the sword was cold, and it hit Father Qing's neck fiercely.

Father Qing didn't react at all, he was caught by the long sword and didn't dare to move for a moment.

Cao GUI immediately said: "Cao GUI is late, please punish me!"

At this time, Qihou smiled faintly, squinted at Father Qing, and said, "It's not too late, it's just right."

Father Qing could have cut off the heads of both Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi, but who would have thought that Cao GUI's troops would rush out suddenly, because now there is no emperor in Zhou, and the dragons have no leader, and people come and go from Zhou at will in the name of mourning, so No one would specifically report to Master Luo where his soldiers and horses were.

Father Qing thought that soldiers from Qi State were on the way. After all, Marquis Qi and the soldiers from Chu State released false news. Father Qing could have made a first-class contribution, but Cao GUI suddenly appeared and disrupted his plan.

Qihou smiled and said, "Young Master Qingfu, do you recognize that you are lonely now?"

Father Qing was perspired by Cao GUI's long sword, his attitude changed a half, and he said with a dry smile, "This... this... Father Qing's eyes have been a little dim these days, so he didn't see clearly just now. Seeing him now, it really is Duke Qi, just now Qing's father is blind, please forgive me, please forgive me! Everything is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

Wu Jiu chuckled lightly and said, "Young Master Lu, is it because you don't recognize it, or do you not want to recognize it?"

When Father Qing heard his words, his face immediately became stiff, and the corners of his mouth were pulled jerky, and he said, "Yes...I didn't recognize it for a while, please forgive me, King Chu."

Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare, my little state of Chu is nothing but a traitor in Lu's eyes, how dare you ask Master Lu to forgive me?"

The weather was very cold, but Qing's father broke out in a cold sweat. The two sides confronted each other, and neither of them let up.

Wu Jiu, Qihou and the others had a lot of people now, so they could take advantage of the chaos and kill Qingfu directly. They used Qingfu's excuse just now, saying that they didn't recognize them, and regarded them as traitors. However, they were at the gate of the city, and many people came and went There are princes from all walks of life, as well as ordinary people. If Qihou really killed Qingfu, he might turn against Lu State, and Qi State and Lu State are neighbors, so there is a lot of trouble.

Wu Jiao thought about it, and prepared to do it for himself. Anyway, Chu State is so far away from Lu State, even if Lu State wants to call, he has to weigh his own weight.

Just as Wu Jiu was about to speak, he heard the sound of horseshoes. This time they came from the city. Two groups of people rushed over from the city. The people ran away in fright. One of the groups turned out to be soldiers from the state of Zhou. The single uncle who took office.

The newly appointed Uncle Shan is the same clan of Shan Zizheng. After Shan Zizheng was expelled from the state of Zhou, the position of Uncle Shan was vacant, so a person from the same clan of the Shan family would naturally be elected to succeed Uncle Shan.

The new uncle Shan led the army, and there were quite a few people. At the same time, another group of troops also led the way. The one sitting on the horse was the king of the Guo State, Guo Gongchou.

Guo State is just next to Zhou State, and it is one of the same surnamed Ji countries surrounding Zhou State. Although Guo State is not big enough, it is much stronger than Yu State with Ji surname, especially the elite soldiers of Guo State. Strong and well trained.

Guo Gongchou rode on a horse, and came side by side with Shan Bo. When he came, he was not young, his beard was already gray, and his flesh looked pampered. At this time, with a hypocritical smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Ugly!" At the order of the emperor of Zhou, come to welcome the king of Qi, the king of Chu, the son of Lu, and the Duke of Zhou. Four distinguished guests came to attend the funeral for the late king. The new emperor is very grateful. The four of you have worked hard all the way. Stay at the posthouse."

When everyone heard this, because Duke Guo and Uncle Shan suddenly appeared, it seemed that there was no way to fight this posture, Wu Jiao and Marquis Qi glanced at each other, and Ji Lang was the one who was most surprised, Ji Lang frowned and said, "Son of Heaven? Where is the new emperor?"

Guo Gongchou laughed and said: "Duke Zhou doesn't know something. Last night, the emperor was in danger and was ordered. The courtiers unanimously elected a new emperor to ascend the throne. In fact, this new emperor has a lot of connections with Duke Zhou!"

Ji Lang frowned. Although he said that he came to attend the funeral, no one knew him better than himself. Ji Lang wanted to be the King of Zhou even in his dreams. He had endured it for so many years, and finally hoped that Hu Qi would be killed. Hu Qi has no direct heirs, and he is the Duke of Zhou, the Duke of Zhou, and his status and status are all noble. It is logical for Ji Lang to ascend the throne. Now with the help of Qi and Chu, Ji Lang finally came to Luoshi , but heard that there is a new king ascending the throne.

Ji Lang was very disdainful. In the past few months, there have been countless new kings enthroned, and she didn't care about this one at all.

Wu Jiu said: "Dare to ask Duke Guo, who is this new king?"

Duke Guo smiled and cupped his hands, saying, "It's Duke Zhou's youngest son!"

Prince belt!

Everyone didn't expect that it was the prince's belt, Ji Lang was also surprised, and Wang Zizheng said in surprise, "It's the second brother?"

The reason why Ji Lang and Wang Zizheng are so downcast is partly because Wang Zidai sent troops to chase and kill them. Wang Zidai was originally Ji Lang's own son and Wang Zizheng's younger brother, but he didn't care about family affection at all. , and almost died under the sword of his own brother.

No one expected that Prince Dai would be enthroned, and he obviously had the support of Guo State, while Shan Bo represented the military power of the Luo division, and it was obvious that Prince Dai was also supported by Shan Bo.

But thinking about it carefully, the prince did not hesitate to attack his father and elder brother, isn't it for the throne?After Wang Zidai heard that Qi State and Chu State were helping Ji Lang, he would definitely rush to Luoshi to act first, and then he would ascend the throne first.

Many people think that the story of Marquis Qi and his son's quarrel for the throne is a story of a race between the tortoise and the hare, and whoever reaches Linzi City first will be the new king. With the support of Gongsun Xipeng in terms of diplomacy, and the support of Prince Chengfu in terms of soldiers and horses, even if Marquis Qi went to Linzi City first, he would be slaughtered with a knife. Do things first.

It seems that the Prince Belt still has some ability, at least he currently controls the situation inside Master Luo.

Qingfu, son of Lu Gongzi, was obviously also taken aback. When he was chasing and killing Qihou and Wu Jiu desperately, he was robbed by the prince. He and Guo Gong are both on the side of the prince's belt. Obviously, the prince's belt is not easy.

Shan Bo and Guo Gong came with troops, and they couldn't gather crowds at the city gate to make trouble, so they all withdrew their troops and went to the post house first to make plans.

Ji Lang frowned, his face was very ugly, Wang Zizheng didn't know that he wanted to be king of Zhou, and thought he was not feeling well, so he said, "Father, are you alright?"

Ji Lang just shook his head and didn't say much.

Everyone came all the way to the post house, Guo Gong quickly settled them down, but he didn't leave. After Shan Bo left, Guo Gongchou walked over cautiously with a suspicious face on his face, and said to them, "Qi Gong, Chu Wang, Duke of Zhou, Ugly is ordered by the king, and there is another extremely confidential thing to tell."

Wu Jiu and the Marquis of Qi looked at each other, Guo Gongchou walked into the house, closed the door himself, looked left and right for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, Chou was ordered to deliver the king's order. The new king wants to tell everyone about Chou. In fact, the new king I don't want to be the Son of Heaven, I'm just forced to do nothing!"

What he said was too false, after all, before the prince Dai did not hesitate to hunt down Ji Lang and Prince Zheng, it was naturally for the throne.

No one believed it, not even Wang Zizheng.

But Guo Gongchou said firmly: "Everyone doesn't know, the new king was really forced to sit on the throne of the emperor. Uncle Tui and Tao Zi, the senior officials in the court, are playing with the political power, blackmailing the new king, and trying to manipulate the government. Now that the new king is forced to ascend the throne, he knows that he is in danger, so he specially ordered Chou to come and tell him secretly, and the new king asks everyone to help."

Wu Jiu squinted his eyes, turned his eyes for a while, and then said, "I don't know, how does the new king want us to rescue him?"

When Guo Gongchou saw Wu Jiu accosting him, he immediately said, "The new king would like to invite everyone to enter the palace secretly tonight to discuss abdication!"

Ji Lang said in surprise, "Abdicate?"

Guo Gongchou hurriedly said: "Yes, the new king said that he has no virtue and incompetence, so he would never dare to sit on the throne, and Zhou Gong, you are a direct descendant of our Zhou State, with a noble status and a great reputation, so the new king wants to invite you into the palace. Discuss the matter of abdicating the throne to you, Duke Zhou!"

Guo Gongchou said it firmly, and he said that he would abdicate to Ji Lang.
