Wu Jiu and Qihou were ready to leave, but Qihou was not happy at all, because after a day or two of walking out of Luoshi City, he was about to part ways with his second brother, but under such circumstances, their black car There is actually a third party...

Qi Hou finally persuaded Xiao Ziwen not to be tired of his adoptive father, Xiao Ziwen was sitting in the back car, while Wang Zizheng was sitting in their car at this time.

Although Wang Zizheng sat very far away, leaning against the corner, but such a big person, tall and tall, Qi Hou naturally couldn't ignore it, and Wang Zizheng was present, so Wu Jiao would not let Qi Hou have any intimate behaviors, so Qi Hou Hou was naturally quite unhappy.

Today Wu Jiao and Qihou left Luoshi. Ji Lang planned to see him off in person, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Ji Lang's shadow. Wu Jiao looked at the time and felt that he couldn't wait any longer. Prince Zheng was also afraid of Ji Lang. When something happened to Lang when he came over, he urged: "King Chu, Duke Qi, the sun is getting late, let's go."

Wu Jiu nodded, and said loudly to the outside: "Let's go."

Pan Chong heard the voice, and soon said loudly: "The whole army obeys the order and sets off!"

The sound of departure was quickly passed down by the soldiers, one after another, and soon the car was about to start rolling.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of "tapping" horseshoes, followed by someone shouting: "King Chu! Duke Qi! Please wait!"

A soldier on horseback rushed out from the city gate. The soldier came on a galloping horse and quickly stopped them. Wu Jiao raised the curtain of the carriage and said, "What's the matter?"

The soldier hurriedly got off his horse, knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "King Chu and Duke Qi please wait a moment, the Son of Heaven will do it for you two. The Son of Heaven was delayed because of some things, and now he is almost at the city gate."

Wu Jiao raised his eyebrows, since Ji Lang was about to come, it's not good for them to leave like this, but Prince Zheng, who was sitting in the car, was quite nervous, because Ji Lang didn't know if he would find him.

After a while, Ji Lang also came on horseback from the city gate. Ji Lang looked like a traveler, her black court robe was stained with a lot of dust, her hair crown was a little messy, and her temple hair was hanging down. Hot sweat trickled down his temples.

But Ji Lang didn't care about this, when he reached the gate of the city, he turned over immediately and walked quickly.

Wu Jiu, Marquis Qi and Prince Zheng were sitting in the chariot when they heard Pan Chong's voice saying, "Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven is here."

Wu Jiu and Qi Hou got out of the car to greet him, while Wang Zizheng sat in the car without moving, he didn't seem to want to show his face, he just pretended not to hear, looked down at the corner of his robe, his eyes were very focused and indifferent.

When Wu Jiu and Qi Hou got off the carriage, they saw Ji Lang. Ji Lang was panting heavily, probably because he urged the horse too fast.

Seeing the two get off the car, Ji Lang looked at them carefully, and looked sideways at the convoy, as if he wanted to find something, but obviously, Ji Lang found nothing, because he didn't know that the person he was looking for was actually in the car. Among the carriages of King Chu and Duke Qi.

Ji Lang came over, withdrew his searching eyes, and said to Wu Jiu and Qi Hou, "King Chu, Duke Qi, I'm late to practice, and I still look forward to the two Haihans!"

Wu Jiu smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "What did the emperor say? The emperor has just ascended the throne, and so many affairs in the Luo division are waiting for the emperor to undertake. The emperor can be said to be in charge of every day. How can we compare?" ? Today, the emperor can come to see him off, and I am very grateful in my heart, the emperor should please come back quickly, but don't delay any political affairs."

Wu Jiu spoke very tactfully, and Qi Hou raised his eyebrows aside.

Ji Lang exchanged pleasantries with him for a while, but in the end, because Wu Jiao was always playing sloppy eyes, Ji Lang seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and said in a low voice, "Lang wants to ask King Qi of Chu about something."

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Oh? I don't know what it is?"

Ji Lang's voice was still very low, and said, "It's about children."

Wu Jiao pretended to be stupid, and said, "Oh, it's about the prince's belt?"

Ji Lang almost spit out a mouthful of blood, not just Ji Lang, Qi Hou almost spit out laughing, his second brother's appearance of pretending to be stupid is really cute, Qi Hou can't wait to kiss him right now.

Ji Lang's face turned blue, coughed in a low voice, and said, "The King of Chu may have misunderstood it. It's about Prince Zheng."

Wu Jiu let out an "ah" and seemed to realize something suddenly, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's about the eldest prince. How is the eldest prince? I haven't seen the eldest prince for several days."

Qihou stood silently on the side, standing with his hands behind his back, listening to Wu Jiu's lies, but he just stood silently, looking up at the sky without saying a word, after all, Qihou might be holding back his second brother as soon as he opened his mouth.

When Wu Jiu said that, Ji Lang's expression became even worse. Prince Zheng couldn't be found anywhere. Ji Lang wished to search the entire Luo division. The place where Prince Zheng could hide was probably their convoy.

In addition to Wang Zizheng's letter, saying that he was leaving Luoshi, then Wu Jiao's motorcade was the best choice. Ji Lang felt that Prince Zheng must be in the motorcade, but he just didn't want to show his face, and Wu Jiao's The attitude is too fake. It clearly means that Wang Zizheng is in the convoy, but I won't tell you.

Ji Lang's face turned from green to livid, like a big bronze cauldron, Wu Jiu wanted to laugh a little.

Qi Hou turned his head slightly, whispered to Wu Jiao, and said, "Second Brother, we still want to form an alliance with Zhou Guo, Second Brother, you just need to be stubborn, don't make him anxious, make him anxious... ...but to bite."

Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he wasn't stubborn enough.

Qihou looked at Wu Jiu's expression, as if he didn't hear his own words, and a deep sense of helplessness suddenly rose in his heart. When the second brother was punishing people, it seemed that he only knew how to enjoy himself before giving up.

Ji Lang said: "To tell you the truth, Zheng Er left a letter and seems to be planning to leave Master Luo."

Wu Jiu pretended to be surprised and said, "What? You ran away from home?"

The words "run away from home" were really new to the ancients, but they fit the image of Prince Zheng very well, and they hit the nail on the heart of Ji Lang.

Ji Lang's face had changed from iron blue to a burnt black pot bottom, and Qi Hou didn't know when Ji Lang would explode.

Ji Lang didn't pay attention to Wu Jiao any more, Wu Jiao's attitude was obvious, Prince Zheng was obviously in the motorcade, but Wu Jiao didn't want to tell him.

Ji Lang immediately walked a few steps quickly, bypassing Wu Jiao, and walked forward to the middle of the convoy, but he didn't know that Wang Zizheng was in the car, but passed over the car. He thought that Wang Zizheng was in the ranks of soldiers, but so There were many soldiers, but they couldn't find them for a while, so they had to say loudly: "Zheng Er, my father knows you are here."

Ji Lang was talking to those soldiers, but he didn't know that Prince Zheng was in the black car behind him. Ji Lang continued: "My father knows that I have done many things wrong, but my father treats you sincerely. Zheng Er has always been obedient. My good child, my father is used to having you by my side, and now you are leaving without saying goodbye, what should I do as a father? If you are considerate of my father, I beg you to go back to the palace with me."

Wang Zizheng was sitting in the car, listening quietly, with his hands hanging by his sides, already clenched into fists, his sitting posture had changed from sitting on the mat to kneeling, I am afraid that if Ji Lang would say more A word that cannot be separated from him, Wang Zizheng is about to get up and get out of the car.

Wang Zizheng took a deep breath silently, then slowly got up, stretched out his hand to gently lift the curtain of the car, and just peeked out from the gap in the curtain of the car.

Ji Lang was very close to him, so close that Wang Zizheng could touch Ji Lang's shoulder if he was willing to stretch out his hand, but Wang Zizheng didn't stretch out his hand, but just put down the curtain when Ji Lang turned his head. .

Ji Lang didn't know that Prince Zheng was right behind him, he didn't hear the response, he was a little lost, and slowly turned around, the curtain of the black car behind him made a "snap", both Wu Jiao and Qi Hou felt that if it wasn't for Ji Lang Lang was in a state of despair, Ji Lang would definitely find out that there was such a big movement in the curtain of the black car.

Wu Jiu coughed and said, "Son of Heaven, the prince may be young and still stubborn, maybe he will come back after being stubborn enough."

Ji Lang looked at her sleeve robe, shook her head in a murmur and said, "No, Zheng Er has always been the most prudent, he is not talking stubborn... If I let him go like this, he will really do what he says, Will never come back again..."

Ji Lang slowly stretched out her hand, rubbed her forehead, and said in a low voice, "What else do you want me to do, what do you want me to do, Zheng Er..."

Wu Jiu couldn't stand it anymore, he looked up at the car, but in the car it was quiet, Wang Zizheng still didn't speak, he seemed to have made up his mind to leave.

In fact, Wu Jiu didn't think about Prince Zheng's life experience. After all, Zhai, who is a Chidi, is not actually a minority in the north. Many Di people are just named Di people by Zhou Tianzi. Discipline, but many Di people are not foreigners.

The State of Zhai is also a descendant of the Xuanyuan family of the Yellow Emperor, and it originated from the second son of King Cheng of Zhou. King Cheng of Zhou granted his second son a place of food in Zhai, and he was an official and the leader of one party. Therefore, the State of Zhai also The orthodox descendants of the Zhou Dynasty.

However, because Zhai Guo refused to obey discipline and was not formally canonized, so he was not even a Viscount, but because he was brave and good at fighting, he was very threatening. Another point, Zhai Kingdom did have the blood of Chidi people. After all, Zhai Kingdom is located in the north. He has contact with both Rong people and Di people, but this cannot be said to be a confusion of blood, just like Qihou's father is the king of Qi, and his mother is a daughter of Wei, Qihou is still the most noble bloodline of Qi , it cannot be said to be confusion, so Wu Jiao doesn't think there is any problem with Prince Zheng's bloodline. If Ji Lang insists on him being the crown prince, as long as Ji Lang can stop the people talking, it's fine.

But now that Ji Lang had just ascended the throne, it was really impossible to stop the people talking, so Prince Zheng chose to leave to avoid unnecessary troubles for Ji Lang.

Ji Lang stood in front of the black car in desperation, checking the soldiers over and over again without giving up, but there were too many soldiers, and it was impossible to check. Ji Lang's expression became more and more disappointed and depressed.

Wu Jiu seemed to be a little bit reluctant, but he knew that Prince Zheng knew Ji Lang's temperament better than he himself. If Prince Zheng really stayed, Ji Lang would definitely bow and do his best to let him be the crown prince, and it would be no problem to offend a group of scholar-bureaucrats. Therefore, Wu Jiu also agreed with Wang Zizheng to leave, at least temporarily.

Wu Jiu simply said: "Son of Heaven, it's getting late now, thank you for coming to practice it yourself, then we will start our journey."

As Wu Jiao said, he was about to pedal the cart, Qihou got on the cart first, Wang Zizheng hurried out of the way, and leaned against the wall of the cart, so as not to be seen by Ji Lang outside, Qihou stretched out his hand to support Wu Jiao, and also boarded the cart.

The curtain of the car "crashed!" came down, blocking Wang Zizheng's sight. He glanced at Ji Lang for the last time. Ji Lang was standing outside the car, dressed in a black court robe. The black made him look extremely thin, revealing a sense of silence. ...

Wu Jiu glanced at Wang Zizheng, and said in a low voice, "Have you thought about it?"

Prince Zheng also said in a low voice: "Zheng has made up his mind, thank you King Chu for his success."

Qihou said in his heart, I should thank Gu Cheng for being versatile. You don't know how much Gu sees you and wants to push you out of the car.

Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Let's go!"

Pan Chong gave orders again, ordering the team to set off. Pan Chong just wanted to say the word set off aloud, but at this moment Ji Lang suddenly raised his hand to stop Pan Chong, saying, "Wait!"

Sitting in the car, Qi Hou rolled his eyes, put his hand on his chin, and looked bored, Wu Jiu poked him, and Qi Hou restrained his expression a little.

At this moment, Wu Jiu lifted up some car curtains with a smile on his face, and said, "Son of Heaven, is there anything else that needs to be done?"

Ji Lang suddenly strode over and said, "King Chu, please hand over Zheng Er."

Wu Jiao blinked his eyes, and said with a look of surprise: "The eldest prince? The eldest prince is not here. Son of Heaven, you may have found the wrong place. You can look for it elsewhere."

Ji Lang said: "I didn't go to the wrong place. If Zheng Er wants to leave Luoshi, he can only follow your team. He is in the team. Please ask the king of Chu to hand Zheng Er to me."

Wu Jiu still pretended to be surprised, and said, "The emperor's words are getting more and more profound, and people can't understand them."

Ji Lang's face darkened, and he said, "King Chu, we don't speak dark words in front of Ming people, please hand over Zheng Er."

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "I've said it all, but I really don't understand what the emperor said."

Ji Lang was so angry that she blushed, she simply flicked her sleeves and said, "If the King of Chu doesn't hand over the child today, I won't let you go."

Ji Lang is too soft to be tough. It just so happens that Wu Jiao, like Qi Hou, takes soft things but not hard ones. Wu Jiao laughed and said: "If there is no one, it is natural that there is no one. Even if the emperor does not let us go, there is still no. It's just a few days of eating and drinking for free on the emperor's land."

"you!"

Ji Lang was so angry that her breathing was heavy, and she said with a gloomy face: "The widow has said that if the king of Chu doesn't hand over your son today, the widow will not let you go out of the city."

Wu Jiu said, "Oh? Is that so? Then how will the Son of Heaven treat us? Can he arrest us?"

Ji Lang's face turned red, apparently being blown up by Wu Jiao, both Qi Hou and Prince Zheng thought Ji Lang would get angry, but after a long time, Ji Lang didn't get angry, just stood quietly, Wu Jiu thought that Ji Lang would be angry. He fell asleep.

But at this time, Ji Lang said calmly: "If the King of Chu is willing to hand over Zheng Er, Lang is willing to kneel down to the King of Chu."

As he spoke, Wu Jiao was startled, afraid that he would kneel down, while Ji Lang lifted the hem of his black clothes, really wanting to kneel down.

The prince Zheng in the black car was also taken aback. After all, this is under the watchful eyes of everyone. With so many soldiers from Qi and Chu, and there are scholar-bureaucrats from Luo Division behind them, if Ji Lang really knelt down, then this kneeling It will be "remembered in history".

Qi Hou was quite helpless in the car, he had been patient with Wang Zizheng for a long time, and Wang Zizheng was completely unaware of being a light bulb, and now Qihou finally raised his hand and pushed Wang Zizheng out.

At this moment, Wang Zizheng was surprised. He didn't expect Qi Hou to make small movements on his back. Qi Hou's hands were very strong, and he directly pinched his neck, which was numb, and pushed Wang Zizheng out of the car.

"Boom!!" With a sound, if Wang Zizheng hadn't reacted quickly, he might be the one kneeling down. Wang Zizheng suddenly fell from the car, turned over, and landed safely with a quick reaction.

Ji Lang was about to kneel down, but he tugged at the hem of his black clothes, unexpectedly Prince Zheng got out of the car, opened his eyes wide in shock, and said, "Zheng Er..."

Prince Zheng had already been exposed. When he met Ji Lang's eyes, his heart wavered. For a moment, he almost didn't want to leave. Ji Lang walked over quickly, not giving Prince Zheng a chance to react. "Boom!" in my arms.

Prince Zheng is much taller than Ji Lang. Ji Lang embraces Prince Zheng like this. Prince Zheng needs to bend down slightly, feeling that Ji Lang's hands are clasped firmly on his back, and he doesn't relax at all. It feels like he is afraid of running away.

Ji Lang's voice was a little choked up, and she said in a low voice: "Zheng Er, please don't leave, Weifu knows that he has done a lot of things wrong, let Weifu make up for you, as long as you don't leave, Weifu can do anything... Zheng Er, you are the only father."

Prince Zheng slowly stretched out his arms to embrace Ji Lang, and said in a low voice, "Father, you still have a great country, Zhou's great country."

Hearing what he said, Ji Lang didn't dare to let go, and said hastily, "Zheng Er, listen to me..."

His words were interrupted by Prince Zheng, who said: "Father, you took the throne of the emperor with great difficulty. The son is not your stumbling block, let alone be your stumbling block. The son knows his father too well, so he wants to leave. The son also knows that the father really treats the son well, and it is time for the son to repay you."

Ji Lang didn't let go, Wang Zizheng even felt a little wet around his neck, he quickly patted Ji Lang's back, and said softly: "Father, think about it, your great country is already in front of you, You can't lose all of this because of Zheng Er. This is something you have dreamed of, and you must hold it firmly... The son wants to leave, not because you hate your father, on the contrary, but because of your father. In the final analysis, your son is not your own flesh and blood , if you don’t do something, how can you convince the crowd, how can you be worthy of being your son?”

Ji Lang said in a low voice: "If you want to make a difference, you can stay in Master Luo, and you can help you as a father."

Wang Zizheng smiled and said in a low voice: "The son just doesn't want this kind of help from you, but the father's help will bring criticism to the son, and even to the father...Father, when the son is successful, he will definitely come back. You are proud to be your son."

Ji Lang didn't want to let go, Prince Zheng really felt it this time, his shoulders and neck were wet, in his impression, Ji Lang was a very tough and arrogant, even autocratic person, he had never seen Ji Lang before. Cry, this is the first time.

Seeing the two people hugging outside for a long time, Wu Jiu couldn't help sighing and said, "It's not like parting for life or death, let's start our journey, and we won't go to the posthouse where we don't have a place to stay at night."

When he said that, Wang Zizheng quickly patted Ji Lang on the back to comfort him, and said with a low smile, "Father, don't let your scholar-bureaucrats laugh at you. My son is leaving. Remember to take care of yourself, son." If you are not by your side, you still need to take medicine on time, so don’t let your son still feel bad when he is far away, you know?”

Ji Lang nodded, unable to speak at all, Wang Zizheng patted him on the shoulder, slowly left Ji Lang's embrace, took two steps back, bowed down to Ji Lang, and kowtowed respectfully. One head, then got up and said: "Father, take care!"

Only then did Ji Lang raise his head, his eye circles were a little red, and the tip of his nose was also red, and he said to Prince Zheng, "waiting for your triumphant return."

Prince Zheng also arched his hands, laughed, and said, "Definitely!"

Seeing that they were "reluctant to part", Qihou said, "Let's go."

But he added another sentence, saying: "Prepare the horse for the eldest prince."

Qi Hou was afraid that Prince Zheng would get in the carriage again to get in the way, so Gongsun Xipeng personally brought a horse for Prince Zheng. He looked tall and majestic, and as soon as he got on the horse, Ji Lang needed to raise his head to look up at him.

Wu Jiao ordered to set off, but at this time, there was another accident. This accident was not Ji Lang's fault, but someone riding a fast horse suddenly rushed towards him from the outskirts of the city. Master Shao!

Zhaohu was dressed in a white robe, riding on the horse, his robe flying, and galloped towards him at a fast speed. When he came close, he reined in the horse, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong! When I was staying in the Luo division to participate in the enthronement ceremony, troops have already been sent to attack the border of our country."

As soon as the crowd heard this, there was an uproar. Qi Hou squinted his eyes and said, "Lu Guo?"

Zhao Hu nodded and said: "That's right, the crown prince is sitting in the court, and he sent Zhao Hu to come and report quickly."

Qihou just sneered and said, "Good! What a Lu country!"

Wu Jiu also squinted his eyes, and said to Qi Hou, "Chu and Qi have been friends for generations. Now the people of Lu are shameless and attack Qi while the emperor is enthroned. We, Chu, must not just sit idly by..."

As he spoke, he turned to Pan Chong and Peng Zhongshuang and said, "Sima and Doctor Peng set off immediately to Yingdu. The widow will take Ruo'ao's six soldiers to Qi State to help Duke Qi."

When Qihou heard that Wu Jiu was going back to Linzi City with him, he was immediately overjoyed. He ignored the news of Lu's siege for a moment, and said with a smile: "The King of Chu is willing to help, I really appreciate it." do."

Wu Jiu said, "It's not too late, let's go."

Qi Hou nodded his head hungry, let Zhao Hu get on his horse, everyone was ready to set off quickly, and rushed towards Linzi City.

Because there was a temporary change in Qi State, and Prince Zheng wanted to follow Wu Jue again, so naturally he went to Linzi City. Ji Lang was even more worried because he was afraid that Lu State would rush into Qi State, so he gave the order to the Marquis of Qi, in the name of justice, Conquer the State of Lu.

In this way, the battle of the State of Lu is a war of aggression, and the battle of the State of Qi is a battle of defense. Suddenly, in the name of Ji Lang, it is a just crusade. If this is the case, if other countries help the State of Lu, it will be If others are not benevolent and unrighteous, if others help Qi, it is a benevolent and righteous crusade.

Ji Lang also promised to send troops to support Qi State from the west and attack Lu State with Qi State.

In this way, the Marquis of Qi is no longer afraid of the State of Lu.

The sudden attack of Lu State on Qi State was simply because when they were in Luoshi, Wu Jiao Qihou and Ji Lang joined forces to drive Lu Gong and Guo Gong out of Luoshi City, which made Lu Gong lose face.

Although Guo State has a strong army, its territory is too small, just like Luonan City, so it dare not act rashly.

But the country of Lu couldn't swallow this bad breath, and wanted to make trouble while Ji Lang hadn't gained a firm foothold, but the Luo division was also very far away from the Lu country. The country is adjacent to the Qi State.

Marquis Qi was in the Luo division at this time, traveling thousands of miles away, and it would take a while to get back, so Duke Lu felt confident and planned to move Qi's borders to let them know how powerful Lu was.

Qi Hou and Wu Jiu rushed all the way, and they didn't have time to do strange things, so they returned to Linzi City soon.

Prince Zhao and eldest son Wu Kui greeted him outside the city of Linzi. They did not expect Wu Jiu to come back. Ever since Wu Jiu ascended the throne of Chu and became King of Chu, no one has seen Wu Jiu again, but some people occasionally go to Chu. Only then did they occasionally see Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiu looked at it this way, Prince Zhao has changed the most. Prince Zhao has grown a lot taller. He used to be taller than Wukui, but now he is a full head taller than Wukui. His appearance has become tougher and more handsome. Following Qi Hou, the longer the length, the more similar it is, revealing a feeling of replica.

It's just that Wu Jiujue, Prince Zhao looks too righteous, not as glib as Marquis Qi.

Young Master Wu Kui has not changed much, he is still tall and tall, following Wei Ji's appearance, gentle and handsome, looks easy to get along with others, but he is quite a smiling tiger.

The two stood side by side, seeing Qihou helping Wu Jiao out from the chariot, both of them were surprised, Prince Zhao and eldest son Wukui clasped their fists and saluted, saying, "Second Uncle."

Wu Jiu felt very sour when he was called the second uncle, and he called himself old again...

Qihou smiled and helped Wu Jiu get out of the car, and said: "It seems that the sons miss you very much."

When Wu Jiu heard him say that it wasn't just someone's son, he suddenly felt a little unnatural.

They greeted them outside Linzi City, changed their carriages, and prepared to enter the city and return to the palace.

Hurrying along the way, there was no time to say anything. After entering the Qi Palace, Wu Jiao lifted the curtain to look out, but nothing had changed. The Qi Palace was still the same Qi Palace. It's unbelievably simple.

However, Wu Jiu looked at the plants and trees, and immediately felt nostalgic, everything was so familiar...

Seeing him looking out all the time, Qi Hou put his arms around Wu Jiu's shoulders with a smile, and said, "What is Second Brother looking at? You are alone by your side, do you still need to look at other things?"

Wu Jiao felt shameless when he heard what he said, so he smiled and said, "Jiao just didn't expect to be able to come back here."

Qihou said with a smile: "If the second brother wants to come back, I will often pick you up to live in the future, okay? You see, the sons also miss you very much."

Wu Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "It's your son, not mine."

Qihou laughed and said, "No, the orphan's son is the second brother's son, and the second brother's son must also be the orphan's son."

This is a strong buy and a strong sell...

Everyone entered the Qi Palace, and the car drove directly to the front of the small bedroom. Marquis Qi helped Wu Jiu get out of the car, turned his head and said: "The court meeting will be held in an hour."

"Yes."

The eunuch quickly agreed, and quickly withdrew to notify the courtiers to convene a court meeting, while Qi Hou and Wu Jiu went to a small bedroom, first bathed and changed clothes, and then had a meal, and there was less than half an hour to spare.

It was getting late now, the sky was approaching dusk, and he was on the road continuously, fearing that Wu Jiu would not be able to take it anymore, Marquis Qi let him sleep for a while, and said: "I will call you in half an hour, sleep peacefully."

Wu Jiu was also really tired, he lay down on the couch and rested, feeling that he slept very soundly, he didn't know if he missed this place, even the soft couch was very comfortable.

It may not be because Qi Gong's bed is softer and more comfortable. After all, the Chu Palace is very luxurious, and any decoration is much more luxurious than that of the thrifty Duke Qi.

It's just that the state of Chu is not stable yet, while the state of Qi has produced a large number of people, at least the internal worries have been resolved, so lying on the couch of Qi Palace, Wu Jiao felt a sense of peace of mind, and naturally slept very soundly.

Wu Jiu slept for a while, it felt like a blink of an eye, he was called up by Qihou, he was still a little confused, but there was a need to hold a court meeting, and it was to deal with such a big event as Lu's invasion, so Wu Jiu quickly rubbed himself Eyes, forced to wake up.

Wu Jiu was going to leave the hall, but Qihou stopped him, and said with a smile: "Second brother, at this point, do you still want to go outside the hall? Just follow Gu and go from the inner hall."

Wu Jiu couldn't resist Qi Hou's kind invitation, and finally followed Qi Hou from the inner hall to the road bedroom. All the courtiers were already there, and there were many familiar people, which made Wu Jiu deeply moved.

Marquis Qi went out first, Wu Jiaocuo took half a step behind and followed behind, the two walked out from the inner hall, the courtiers outside were surprised when they saw Wu Jiu, and then there was commotion.

Wu Jiu thought that his act of walking out of the inner hall was really biased and might be criticized, but he didn't expect that after the riots, the senior officials suddenly knelt down and bowed down, and Shan Hu said: "My lord, you have been here for ten thousand years! My lord, king of Chu!" , King Chu Wannian!"

Wu Jiu was surprised for a moment, looking at the courtiers prostrating and kneeling on the ground, he was a little speechless, Qi Hou turned his head to look at Wu Jiu, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Everyone is flat, You don't need to be too polite."

Only then did the officials stand up and lined up to the left and right. Marquis Qi stretched out his hand and asked Wu Jiu to sit down. Wu Jiu looked back at Marquis Qi's throne and felt that it was inappropriate for him to sit down.

But Marquis Qi walked over, took Wu Jiu's hand, forced him to sit down, and sat on the marquis seat with him.

Wu Jiu thought to himself, that means this seat is very spacious, otherwise they might all be sitting on the ground with Qi Hou's tall stature...

After Qihou sat down, he said in a clear voice: "Everyone, today I will hold an impromptu court meeting. Maybe you and your officials already know the reason."

As soon as his words finished, everyone nodded, Qi Hou said: "Where is the Lu army now, how are the soldiers and horses, who can tell me in detail?"

Prince Zhao, who was sitting on the seat, immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "My father, the Lu army has ordered troops half a month ago, and now it is about to march to the vicinity of Jiagu Mountain with [-] troops. The vanguard general is the son of Lu Guo." Father Qing."

Qihou nodded. It seems that Prince Zhao did a lot of homework when he was not around.

Qihou said again: "What do I do now?"

Crown Prince Zhao cupped his hands and said, "My son has sent troops to support the defense in the south, and asked Da Sima Chengfu to harass the west of Lu."

Wu Jiu nodded immediately after listening to the crown prince's words. Although crown prince Zhao is not very old, he is indeed very reliable in governing the country. Now the father of Da Sima prince is still stationed in the country of Sui. Look at the meaning of Marquis Qi , may want to make the prince become the father of Sui State, let him stay in Sui State for a long time, and govern Sui State.

The state of Sui was to the west of the state of Lu. Prince Zhao asked Sima Chengfu to attack the state of Lu and harass them. Obviously, it was a good strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "You can also send troops to invite Lu to join us. Sui will harass from the west, and Lu will harass from the east. If the two countries harass Lu together, Lu will definitely be troubled."

Qihou smiled and said, "Second brother is still so resourceful!"

Wu Jiu also said: "Your Majesty, you can also send Zhanxiong to go to Song State with a fast horse, and ask Song Gong to send troops to harass the south of Lu State. In this way, soldiers and horses will be harassed from the east, south, and west, and the north of Lu State will be harassed. Fighting against our country Qi, if the country of Lu wants to win this battle, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky, so there is nothing to be afraid of."

Qihou nodded and said, "Okay, Zhanxiong!"

Zhanxiong immediately took a step forward, and Wu Jiao gave him another chance to contact Song Gongyu, Zhanxiong was naturally happy, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Zhanxiong is here!"

Qi Hou said: "You set off today, and hurry to Song State to discuss this matter with Song Gong."

"Yes! Zhanxiong leads the edict!"

Zhanxiong said without stopping, and immediately turned around and strode out of the bedroom palace. It was already dusk when the court meeting was held, and it was dark now, but Zhanxiong still didn't stay, and quickly disappeared into the dim Qi palace.

The Marquis of Qi ordered to harass the Lu State, but someone still needs to go to the front. They need to block the Lu State’s soldiers and horses from Jiagu. If the Lu State’s soldiers and horses cross Jiagu Mountain, they can go straight to Changshao .

Wu Jiu also said: "Your Majesty, I believe that our Qi army should fight the Lu army at Jiagu Mountain. Jiagu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is an important way for military strategists. To the north, it is Changshao, and the terrain of Changshao is flat, far less favorable to our army than Jiagu Mountain."

As Wu Jiu said, Qihou nodded. When he mentioned the long spoon, no one was more impressed than Qihou. After all, in his previous life, Qihou suffered a defeat here, the most humiliating defeat in his life, because Qihou The arrogance, the battle of the long spoon was defeated.

Qihou said: "Second brother is right, what do you think?"

When he said this, everyone cupped their hands and said, "The king of Chu is right, I will be convinced."

Wu Jiu looked at the people in the audience, they were all people he was familiar with. Since Wu Jiu left, Prince Zhao became Crown Prince Zhao, and Guan Yiwu also became Da Situ, who took over Wu Jiu's position and was promoted all the way. , has now become the Minister of State of Qi, and Bao Shuya is now the chief minister, Gongsun Xipeng is still the chief minister of his old business, Zhou Fu has been the acting chief minister for several years, Shan Zi is , Shi Su, Cao GUI, and Zhao Hu are generals, ministers of Dongguo Ya's great admonishment...

Nothing seemed to have changed, and it seemed reasonable. Wu Jiao looked at these people, these people he was familiar with, and felt that they were much more cordial than Chu. If it was in Chu, Wu Jiu might not have made a suggestion so smoothly. After all, Chu It is still in the process of running in, and Qihou's internal worries have basically been resolved. Even if Qihou is not in the court, the prince and all capable people will still govern in an orderly manner.

Everyone agreed with Wu Jiu's point of view, and Qi Hou said: "So, our country of Qi needs pioneers, who is willing to go out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Zizheng was the first to stand up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Zizheng is willing to go to war!"

Qihou smiled, Shan Zizheng was once a Shan Bo in the Luo Division, and he had the talent to lead the army. When Shan Zizheng was a Shan Bo, the Luo Division's army was well-organized and very brave. Since Shan Zizheng was dismissed, After being driven out of the Luo division, the Luo division's army began to wilt, and Qihou knew Shan Zizheng's talent.

Qi Hou nodded and said: "Your son is on the way, so I can rest assured."

He said, but said again: "Cao GUI."

Cao GUI immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Gui is here!"

Qihou said with a smile: "You lead five thousand soldiers and block them at Changshao. If you see Lu soldiers and horses, block them all!"

"Yes!"

When Wu Jiu heard that Marquis Qi used Cao GUI to attack Lu's army with a long ladle, Wu Jiu didn't think too much about it. He just thought that the history had cleverly overlapped again, but in fact it was not. It was due to Marquis Qi's self-esteem.

Qi Hou had a deep grudge against the battle of Changshao in his previous life, so he wanted to get back his tone no matter what, so he planned to use Cao GUI, who defeated him in his previous life, to lead troops to Changshao to stop Lu's deserters, just in case. There is a Lu army who stows away.

Cao GUI quickly took the order. At this moment, Prince Zheng, who had just entered the ranks, suddenly stood up and cupped his hands.
