Chapter 143 The First Battle (1)
After that, I couldn't lie down anymore, so I got up and prepared to interrogate the prisoner. If the truth is found out early in the interrogation, I can also eat mutton steamed buns early.
Wu Jiu heard that Marquis Qi is so hardworking, so he got up too. First, he went to the dining room to boil the mutton soup. After all, the mutton steamed bun soup needs to be boiled for at least 20 hours, so that the fresh and rich mutton can be completely boiled. come out.
Wu Jiao entered the dining room, and the ingredients were fresh. Wu Jiao directly boiled two pots of soup with the mutton bone and the mutton meat, adjusted the taste, and then handed it over to the cook. For the fragrance, the mutton must be boiled until soft and tasty.
Wait until the mutton soup is almost boiled, and then come back to prepare steamed buns and ingredients for the soup. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as garlic in this era. If there is garlic, soak sugared garlic and eat it with mutton steamed buns. It’s really refreshing Tired, and eat again, absolutely delicious to have no friends!
Wu Jiao boiled the soup, at this time Ziqing came over and said, "Your Majesty, Tang Wu said that the old man is awake."
Hearing this, Wu Jiu just happened to have boiled soup, so he came out of the dining room, changed his clothes, and hurried to the Dou family to see the situation.
Wu Jiu came to Dou's house in a black car, and was greeted by Dou Qi, Dou Qi quickly welcomed Wu Jiu into the mansion and invited him to Dou Bobi's house.
Dou Bobi was still lying on the couch, his complexion was not very good and he was very weak, but he finally woke up, and when he saw Wu Jiu, he immediately struggled to get up and salute, but Wu Jiu stopped him, saying: "The old man can be regarded as woke up."
Dou Bobi's voice was very weak, and he said, "Your Majesty, the daughter of the Chang Kingdom of Yun...is it alright?"
Wu Jiu heard him ask Chang Yunji, and said: "Don't worry, Chang Yunji was poisoned, but her life is not in danger. She woke up yesterday, and when the old man is better, she can go visit her."
Dou Bobi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Thank you, my king."
Wu Jiu came to visit his doctor, and when he talked about what had happened in the past few days, Dou Bobi sighed deeply and said, "Dou Qi."
Dou Qi quickly said: "Brother, do you have any orders?"
Dou Bobi said: "Si Bai worked hard for this matter, and now he is still sick in the mansion, so you must visit Doctor Si Bai on my behalf."
Dou Qi heard him mention this, although he was a little reluctant, after all, Dou Qi felt that the Ru family was treacherous, and when Lu Chen was poisoned, the Ru family members came to make trouble and incite public opinion, so Dou Qi didn't like to see the Ru family members even more up.
But Dou Bobi has said so, the eldest brother is like a father, Dou Qi didn't dare to talk back, just cupped his hands and said: "Yes, Qi made a note."
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "It's great that Mo Ao is going to visit Si Bai, and I'm going too, why don't you be on the same road?"
This trip out of the palace, I plan to go to see Dou Bobi first, and then go to see Ruo Luchen, just walk around, after all, because of this incident, Dou Bobi and Ruo Luchen were both injured, Wu Jiao, as the king, You should care about your servants.
Dou Qi wanted to prevaricate, but Wu Jiao mentioned it to him on the agenda, it was like rushing the ducks to the shelves, so he had to bite the bullet and agree, and hurried to change his clothes.
Dou Bobi was still weak, unable to stay in the bed, and said to Dou Qi earnestly: "The matter between the Luo family and the Dou family has passed away. Think about it, the Luo family was also for the benefit of their own people, and they were close to the former king. It's nothing to criticize, Dou Qi, don't anger Lu Chen because of this matter."
Dou Qi agreed, although there was no sincerity, Dou Bobi said: "Lu Chen is young and talented, it can be seen that the king thinks highly of him, and you will be officials in the same dynasty in the future. To cause trouble for the king, Dou Qi, you are a sensible person, you don't need to say more."
Dou Qi naturally understood, but he couldn't swallow this breath. In terms of tolerance, Dou Qi knew that he was absolutely inferior to Dou Bobi. If Dou Bobi hadn't returned to the mountain, he would not be the head of the Dou Family.
Dou Qi had no choice but to respond, saying: "Dou Qi knows, and will definitely put the overall situation first."
Wu Jiu waited for a while, Dou Qi had changed his clothes, and came out to apologize, saying: "Keep me waiting for a long time, Dou Qi is rude."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It's all right, let's go now."
Wu Jiu wanted to go to Lu Chen's house as soon as possible, and after he got back, he had to make steamed buns for Marquis Qi.
Wu Jiu invited Dou Qi to ride with him, and Dou Qi was flattered, and hurriedly pedaled the car to accompany him, looking very dutiful.
When everyone came to the mansion of Lu Chen, Lu Chen greeted him at the door, his face was a little pale, obviously because of poisoning, but after all, Lu Chen was much younger than Dou Bo, and he discovered it earlier In addition, although Lu Chen was a literati, he was tall and could be called strong, so he recovered quickly.
Ruo Luchen was sick at home and was recuperating. When he heard that the king of Chu was coming to visit him, he hurriedly greeted him at the door. Wu Jiu got out of the car and quickly helped Ruo Luchen up with his own hands. Look, who came to visit with the widow?"
Dou Qi stood at the back, trying to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible, but Wu Jiu also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to resolve the enmity between the Dou family and the Luo family, so he deliberately said this, so Dou Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Master Si Bai. "
Lu Chen was obviously a little surprised, he was taken aback when he saw Dou Qi, then cupped his hands and said, "Master Mo Ao."
Ruo Luchen hurriedly welcomed everyone into the mansion. Compared with the Dou family, the Ruo family is not enough. Without the brilliance and magnificence of the Dou family, especially after Ruo Luchen came to power, he actually doesn't like luxury. From simplicity, it seems even more depressed.
Ruo Luchen sat down in the hall facing the crowd and asked Wu Jiu and Dou Qi to serve tea. Dou Qi took a sip of the tea and looked at the teacup with disgust.
Wu Jiu also coughed, the tea was like tea leaves, I didn't expect Lu Chen's house to be so simple.
Lu Chen bowed his hands in embarrassment and said: "Please don't mind your Majesty and Lord Mo Ao. There is really no good tea in Lu Chen's house. This tea is already the best."
What Luo Luchen said was the truth, in fact, he didn't mean to be shabby on purpose. Although the Luo family is big, it is far inferior to the Dou family, and since they got close to the new king Xiongfei, although their consciousness is correct, Ruo Ao's The power is too great, and the face can't be controlled, so the Luo family has been suppressed by the Dou family, and it has been depressed a lot.
Lu Chen was ordered in danger and became the head of the family at a young age, but his mind was not on fighting against the fighters. As a boss, he often had to picket various things and officials. Offending people was inevitable, and of course A lot of money was spent, and Lu Chen often contributed money to picket by himself, and he was not corrupt, so the family didn't have much money, and there was no savings at all.
Although the Luo family lives together, most of them live on their own, so they don't use their own money to subsidize the shabby patriarch. In addition, Wu Jiu came in a hurry, and Lu Chen couldn't afford money to buy good tea for a while. Let the servants rush to buy it, and buy whatever kind of tea they can buy. After all, after Wu Jiu's leadership in Qi, drinking tea has become the style of the nobles, and it is shameful not to drink tea.
Wu Jiu smiled, and said, "Your Majesty Si Bai is simple, it seems like it's time for me to redo the salary of the literati."
Lu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "This... makes my king worry, and Lu Chen's family will not be unable to open the pot."
Dou Qi looked at Lu Chen with the eyes of an idiot. Lu Chen is an official and a doctor, and his food and salary should be a lot. "Can't uncover the pot" four words.
Wu Jiu smiled and said to Dou Qi: "Mo Ao, there are many ministers in the court who don't know how to do business, don't know how to share the worries of Chu, but come out to chew their tongues when they are in chaos. This time Sibai was poisoned, it must be Mo Ao I also experienced..."
Dou Qi knew that what Wu Jiu was talking about was gossip. Although the matter was provoked by the envoys of Yun State, if no one from Chu State spread the word and no one was seriously injured, the matter would not have caused such a big disturbance. Seriously injured, of course I have experience.
Wu Jiu said: "I don't want to be under the jurisdiction of the widow. I don't want the phenomenon of eating free rice. The loyal ministers who are dedicated to their duties have no food and salary to support their families. The matter of re-establishing the food and salary is left to Mo Ao to manage. I believe Mo Ao will not disappoint the widow."
When Dou Qi heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Qi Lingzhao, thank you King for your respect!"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Don't thank me so early, although it's important, but if Mo Ao doesn't do well, he will be punished."
Seeing Wu Jiu's smiling, gentle look, Dou Qi couldn't help feeling a little numb in his back. He always felt that the new king was a bit unfathomable...
It was already noon when they came, Lu Chen prepared lunch for everyone, Wu Jiu smiled and said: "The widow is busy with business, and I have to go back to the palace to do business, and Dou Qing happens to be free, so I will stay here for dinner." Let's have lunch, the widow is one step ahead."
Wu Jiu stood up as he said that, Lu Luchen rushed to send Wu Jiu respectfully, while Dou Qi's face was blue and sallow, and his tea was already like this, let alone lunch, Wu Jiu ran away and left himself behind. Come down, can Dou Qi's face not be sallow?
Wu Jiu walked out with a smile on his face, and quickly boarded the car, the car rumbled away, leaving Dou Qi very embarrassed, and Dou Qi also wanted to find a way to say goodbye, but who knew that Lu Chen was very honest, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: " Lord Mo Ao, please, the lunch has already been prepared, and we will be able to eat it soon."
Dou Qiqian laughed and said, "Don't bother, Dou..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen said sincerely: "No trouble, it has already been prepared, Mr. Mo Ao, please come in."
Wu Jiu left Dou Qi to enjoy the delicacy, while he rushed back to the palace, first went to the small bedroom to have a look, Qi Hou hadn't come back, it must be difficult to work carefully, did not expect that the unreliable envoy of Yun State, in fact Still a tough guy?
Wu Jiu went out of the small bedroom, went to the dining room, the bone soup and mutton soup had been boiled fragrant, before entering the dining room, he could smell a fragrant smell, very appetizing.
Many people don’t like mutton steamed buns because the mutton has a strong smell, or the mutton soup is greasy. In fact, the really delicious and authentic mutton steamed buns are delicious mutton. The soup is fat but not greasy. It tastes like soup with steamed buns, and you won't feel tired after eating it all. This is the ultimate.
Because it was the first time for Qihou to eat mutton steamed buns, Wu Jiu prepared two cold dishes to eat together in order not to make Qihou feel tired. He made a cold fungus, which was crispy and refreshing, and a cold lotus root. In this way, the cool lotus root can also be neutralized with the warm mutton, so that it will not be hot.
Wu Jiao prepared the cold dishes, marinated them, it was easy to taste, and then he started to bake the buns. Although the buns are actually very simple, the key is that the buns made of mutton need to be broken into soybeans to the size of broad beans, and they need to be boiled In mutton soup, in this way, the quality of the buns can be seen intuitively. The most embarrassing thing about eating mutton buns is that you want to eat mutton buns, but the buns turn into goat soup. After being soaked in mutton soup, it is also a technical task to penetrate the flavor without rotting.
Wu twisted [-]% of the dead noodles, and kneaded [-]% of the leftover noodles. Completely dead noodles would affect the soup of the buns. If the buns couldn’t hold the soup, they would taste tasteless and dry. In order to make the buns firm and not easy to rot.
Soon Wu Jiu finished kneading the dough, looked at the time, and found that it was already dusk, so he immediately baked the buns in the pan, and then took them out.
As soon as Wu Jiu finished these things, Ziqing said, "Your Majesty, Duke Qi is back."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiao quickly put the steaming steamed buns in a big bowl, and then carried the steamed buns over. The first step in eating mutton steamed buns is breaking the steamed buns, which is one of the greatest joys of eating mutton steamed buns.
Wu Jiu entered the small bedroom with a big bowl, Qihou came back from outside and was changing his clothes, the clothes he took off had some blood stains on them, and there was a fishy smell, so they got together quickly and asked the eunuch next to him to clean it up , smiled and said: "Second brother, you are here."
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, watching Qi Hou ask the eunuch to take away the bloody clothes like a thief, of course it wasn't that Qi Hou was injured, he probably went to torture to extract a confession, and it was quite tricky.
Wu Jiao said with a smile, "Isn't it true that fighting is bloodless?"
Qihou said: "Second brother, don't make fun of Gu, the green formula of the second brother is so precious, how can Gu use the green formula every time."
Wu Jiu put the big bowl on the case and said with a smile, "Then how is your interrogation going?"
Qihou patted himself on the chest, said with a smile: "Is there anything else that can't be done alone?"
As he said, he couldn't wait to run over, looked into the bowl, and was thinking about his mutton steamed buns, but he looked down and was dumbfounded, why is there only one big steamed bun?
Logically speaking, the four words mutton steamed bun can roughly understand the appearance of this dish. There must be mutton. Why is there only one big white steamed bun?
Qihou said in surprise, "Second brother, where's the mutton?"
Seeing that he was so greedy, Wu Jiao smiled helplessly and said, "What's the rush? Let me tell you about the results of your interrogation first."
Qihou had no choice but to sit down, and said politely: "Second brother, you must not have guessed which country sent the envoy as a spy."
Wu Jiu said, "Which country is it from?"
Qihou smiled mysteriously, and said, "Tell me about it, it's actually Yongguo."
"Yongguo?"
Wu Jiu is no stranger to Yongguo. Not long before Wu Jiu came to the throne, the former emperor Hu Qi asked Duke Lu to join forces with the people of Yongguo to attack Chu. Afterwards, things failed. Hu Qi wanted peace talks and was invited by Wu Jiu. "Traveling in the lake" is gone forever.
In this way, Chu State and Yong State actually had a grudge, but later Yong State's attitude was good, and the matter of the new emperor attracted Wu Jiao's focus, so the matter of Yong State was put aside for the time being. Ci Yongguo even took the initiative to provoke them.
There is actually a reason why Yongguo provoked the increasingly powerful Chu State at this time.
The state of Yong is near the state of Chu, and the two countries border on the northwest end of the state of Chu. In this way, the state of Chu is actually a threat to the state of Yong.
Seeing that the state of Chu is getting stronger and stronger, it has extended its hand to the Central Plains, formed an alliance with the king of Zhou, and also helped the people of Zhou to attack the Chidi people in the north, and became famous for a while. The country will only become stronger and stronger, and it is impossible to go downhill recently.
And Yongguo is next to Chu State, feeling the pressure, and the king of Yongguo feels that he has not stood up well before and offended Chu State. If Chu State becomes stronger and absolutely wants to annex the surrounding countries, it will start from Yongguo started.
Therefore, the monarch of Yongguo thought of such a pre-emptive method.
Taking advantage of Dou Bobi's birthday banquet this time, he used Yun as a cover to fish in troubled waters. The people of Yong state knew that Dou Bobi was half the sky of Chu. Better than starting.
It happened that Chang Yunji wanted to see Dou Bobi and explain about Mrs. Yun, so the envoy of Yun bought off the eunuch next to Chang Yunji. It is a subordinate relationship, so it is easy for the envoy of Yun to instruct the eunuch.
The eunuch assassinated Dou Bobi, but it was unsuccessful, and it just caused the Dou family to fall into chaos. Naturally, the envoys of Yun State refused to let it go, so they wanted to kill Chang Yun Ji. It can be pinched, Chang Yunji died in the post house of Chu State, or was poisoned to death while under house arrest, Yun State can also question Chu State, Chu State will have external troubles and internal troubles.
The envoy of the Yun State thought very well, but unexpectedly got another surprise. Lu Chen happened to go to see Chang Yun Ji, and was also poisoned. Dou Qi, in this way, the Dou family will become a mess.
It's a pity that the envoy of the Yun State made a mistake in bowing and doing his best. If he saw something good, he would accept it. He just assassinated Dou Bobi. Wu Jiao never knew who did it, and everything was unknown Unknowingly, however, the envoys of the Yun State accepted them without knowing what was good, and repeatedly attacked, which finally exposed the envoys of the Yun State.
It took a lot of effort for Marquis Qi to interrogate him. The envoy of Yun State was very strict with his mouth. Marquis Qi interrogated the envoy of Yun State and the driver of the carriage separately. They tortured and extorted confessions. No one said anything. Blood, but Marquis Qi is also smart, and he used clichés on both sides, telling the envoys of Yun State and the driver that the other party had confessed, and Marquis Qi finally got the truth out.
Qihou felt that he had devoted himself to the mutton stew, and he was dying!
After Qihou finished speaking, he immediately said: "Second brother, look at how tired I am, give Gu some steamed mutton."
Wu Jiu really had no choice but to use his superb boyfriend power and said, "Isn't this what it is? You break the steamed buns first, then pour the soup and soak it."
When Qihou heard it, it turned out that it was such a method of making buns, who wouldn't know how to break buns?Even though Qihou had never eaten it before, he would still "break" this action, so he quickly brought the big bowl to him, and reached out to pick up the big white buns, which Wu Jiao specially made that were bigger than his face.
Qi Hou picked it up and broke it vigorously, so big a piece of bun, Qi Hou broke it four times, and finally each bun was much bigger than his mouth, if he wanted to eat this kind of bun, he had to open his mouth To the point where the mouth is full of blood...
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, and Qi Hou shared his experience with him with a relaxed face, saying, "Second brother, when Gu was fighting outside, he also broke pancakes and dipped them in soup to eat, isn't that true?"
Wu Jiu shook his head helplessly, brought over the big bowl containing the steamed buns, then rolled up his black sleeve robe, exposing the position below the elbow, so as not to let the sleeves get into the bowl.
Wu Jiu began to diligently break the steamed buns for Qi Hou, and Qi Hou just sat and watched, what he saw was an obsession, he liked eating, and so did his second brother, so Qi Hou naturally watched very attentively, as if No matter how you look at it, you can't get tired of it.
Wu Jiu smashed the buns into small pieces the size of soybeans. His white hands were very nimble, and he quickly broke the buns. Qi Hou looked at them with a smirk, and said, "Second brother, your hands are so beautiful."
Wu Jiu lowered his head to look at his hands, and was somewhat embarrassed to hear Qi Hou talking about love, but at this moment Qi Hou said, "It's as white as steamed buns."
Wu Jiu almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and directly smashed the big bowl of steamed buns that were broken into soybean-sized pieces on Qihou's head.
However, Wu Jiu didn't do this in the end, because the steamed buns he worked so hard to break, such a big steamed bun, can be described as a giant. Wu Jiu's fingers hurt and were numb after breaking it. Come on, isn't it going to break up again?
Wu Jiu had no choice but to "swallow his breath" and finish breaking the buns. Qi Hou wanted to praise Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu stopped him coldly, and Qi Hou didn't know why the second brother didn't like him praising him...
When the steamed buns were finished, Wu Jiao took the big bowl away, and came back soon, this time the bowl had already been filled with soup, just like what Wu Jiao said last night, rich and mellow, fat but not greasy, just like the soup. You can tell how fragrant it is by smelling it!
The clear and bright mutton soup is covered with steamed buns, with a layer of soft mutton on top, and a layer of various accessories on top. The top is covered with a layer of shiny, powdery vermicelli. The vermicelli is like a big net. , to cover the deliciousness below and lock the rich aroma.
Qihou's eyes lit up in an instant, staring at the bowl of steamed mutton, Wu Jiao gave him a small dagger and a pair of chopsticks, Qihou immediately started to eat, first drank a spoonful of soup, the soup tasted delicious It's absolutely amazing. Although it hasn't been boiled for enough time, it is already very strong. The delicious mutton smell is not fishy or greasy. It has a combination of mellow and light taste, which is strange.
Qihou picked up another chopsticks of mutton, which was already stewed very soft and rotten, not clogging the teeth, but with a springy feeling, with a spoonful of soaked steamed buns, the mutton soup has been fully absorbed by the steamed buns, and the soup The taste mixed with the steamed buns is really indescribable, I just feel that the whole person is warm.
Qihou immediately began to sweep, the weather was not hot anymore, but Qihou was sweating profusely, the warm feeling slid from his throat to his stomach along with the mutton soup, Qihou also gave two small cold dishes After cleaning it up, he finally picked up the big bowl and drank the rest of the soup in one gulp, with a look of unsatisfactory expression on his face.
Wu Jiu watched Qihou eat with a smile, and felt a sense of accomplishment, after all, Qihou always eats with a happy face, and people who cook like this are very impressed.
Qi Hou ate it all in one go, and only then had time to praise Wu Jiu, saying, "Second brother, your cooking is really delicious!"
Since Marquis Qi made a contribution in the interrogation, steamed buns made with mutton will be rewarded, and the dinner will start soon. Marquis Qi called it a meal with his second brother, and he ate another meal by himself. Wu Jiao was really afraid that he would have indigestion again Heart.
Now the truth has come to light, the people of the Yong state are despicable, so Wu Jiu will naturally not let it go, but Wu Jiu will not let the state of Yun go, after all, Shao Yunji tried to kill people in the state of Chu, and blamed it on the state of Chu. For things, Wu Jiao must be extorting money, if he does not extort money, he will not extort money, otherwise he will suffer from staying up all night these days, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?
On the one hand, Wu Jiu asked Dou Qi to re-determine the grain and salary, in fact, to pursue the rumors, the ministers of the court and the central government were scared in an instant, and they all calmed down.
On the other hand, let the left disciples communicate with Yun Guo and ask them to pay and apologize. Wu Jiao also set a price. Shao Yunji is young and ignorant, and it is understandable. As long as they are willing to pay money and apologize, they will marry Chang Yunji When they got to Doujia, let them take Shaoyunji away, and the matter was cancelled.
When Yunguo heard about this, Yunzi was very scared. After all, Yunguo was above Yongguo and was close to Chu. Moreover, Yunguo was not as powerful as Yongguo at all. Yunzi was afraid of things, so he thought To agree.
But Mrs. Yunguo is used to being arrogant and domineering, but she doesn't want to agree. It's fine to marry the eldest daughter to Dou Bobi. Anyway, the eldest daughter is devoted to Dou Bobi, but let them lose money, Yunguo is weak, and let them lose money , Mrs. Yunguo refused to lose money.
Yunzi was very scared, and wanted to persuade Mrs. Yunguo to pay some money and make the big deal smaller, but Mrs. Yunguo assured Yunzi that they had something to do with Chu State, and they were naturally little princes, who could threaten the King of Chu. , just married her daughter, but did not lose money.
Yunzi was also a stingy man, and after hearing what Mrs. Yun said, he agreed to give it a try. Soon the envoy of Yun came. The envoy was from Mrs. Yun's family and came to reply to Chu.
The matter of entertaining the envoys of the Yun Kingdom should have been managed by Zuo Tu, but Wu Jiu recently wanted to promote Peng Zhongshuang, so it was reasonable for Peng Zhongshuang, Le Yin, to manage it.
Wu Jiu just said that everything should be kept simple and there is no need to be extravagant and wasteful. Peng Zhongshuang naturally understood what he meant. After all, Yunguo caused trouble, so they naturally didn't need their big entertainment.
The envoys of the Yun State are already on their way, and everyone is busy receiving the envoys of the Yun State. The envoys and kings of other countries are also preparing to return one after another. Recently, the State of Chu has been very busy, and everyone is performing their duties.
Feng Shu came out from the Political Affairs Hall, and he came to the Political Affairs Hall today to deliver documents to Dou Qi. Wu Jiu ordered Dou Qi to redo the matter of food and salary. Because Feng Shu had collected a lot of rumors and gossips before, he came here to deliver the materials, and Dou Qi After a handover, he came out of the Political Affairs Hall, ready to be busy with other things.
He just came out of the Political Affairs Hall, wondering if he should have lunch first, and then get busy again, otherwise he would be too busy to eat in the afternoon. He had something on his mind, so he didn't look at it when he walked, and he didn't take a few steps. Suddenly, I felt a shadow cast on the top of my head. When I looked up, my eyes narrowed, and I was almost startled.
It turned out to be Qin Gongzi Zhao Jia.
Zhao Jia folded his arms and stood in front of Feng Shu with a decent smile on his face. Feng Shu was not as tall as him. Looking at Zhao Jia as if he saw a mountain, he hurriedly took two steps back, his eyes narrowed, In Zhao Jia's eyes, it looks like a cat, and it still has fried hair.
Feng Shu took two steps back, and quickly cupped his hands calmly and said, "Young Master Qin, Feng Shu is being polite."
Zhao Jia lowered his head and stared at Feng Shu with a smile, Feng Shu's eyebrows were knit together, wanting to run away on guard at any time.
Zhao Jia didn't say anything, and walked forward slowly a few steps. Feng Shu hurriedly retreated cautiously, and said in a low voice, "You...what are you doing!?"
Zhao Jia immediately showed a strange face and said, "What? Jia didn't do anything, why did Dr. Xian Yin say that? Or does Master Xian Yin want Jia to do something?"
When Feng Shu heard this, his face turned red with anger, he stared at him, and said: "If Mr. Qin is fine, Feng Shu will take his leave first, forgive Feng Shu for not being with you."
As he said, he was about to walk around Zhao Jia, but Zhao Jia easily stepped sideways, and Feng Shu almost bumped into his arms, causing Feng Shu to retreat quickly and warily.
Zhao Jia just chuckled, let go of his arms, and even brushed his chest, as if Feng Shu had bumped his clothes dirty.
Looking at his actions, Feng Shu was so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke, but he endured it, thinking that one more thing would be better than one less thing, so let's go quickly.
Zhao Jia raised one arm, and stopped Feng Shu directly with his long hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Xian Yin, wait a minute, don't leave in such a hurry, Jia heard that Lord Xian Yin cooperated with Lord Mo Ao recently and made great achievements, Flying to the top is just around the corner."
Feng Shu looked at Zhao Ji, but didn't speak, Zhao Jia said again: "Actually, Jia came here this time to ask Lord Xian Yin."
Feng Shu stared at him even more suspiciously, with a look of distrust, Zhao Jia smiled and said, "That's right, the purpose of Jia's coming to Chu Kingdom must be known to Master Xian Yin, and Jia was sent by Qin Kingdom Proton, there is no official position in the state of Chu, and Jia doesn't want to be idle all day, so..."
Feng Shu understood now, it turned out that Mr. Qin wanted him to help introduce him.
Feng Shu squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Jia, Zhao Jia said: "Jia's words are true, there is absolutely no intention of entertaining Lord Xian Yin."
Zhao Jia is the protégé of the state of Qin. Even though he was a victorious general in the state of Qin, he is nothing when he arrives in the state of Chu. Now he has been here for more than a month and has no official position. He lives in the palace all day long. Zhao Jia was naturally unwilling to be so mediocre, so he thought of Feng Shu.
Zhao Jia said again: "If Master Xian Yin is willing to help recommend, the grievances between you and me will be..."
Feng Shu's eyes lit up immediately, and he said suspiciously, "Will you write it off?"
Zhao Jia laughed and said, "How is it possible?"
Feng Shu's face was still bright just now, but now it was covered with a layer of dust, Zhao Jia said: "Well, even if Jia said to write it off, Xian Yin is a smart person, so he can't believe it, right?"
The veins on Feng Shu's face twitched twice, he stared at Zhao Jia, gritted his molars and said, "Young Master Qin, Feng Shu didn't know if he should say something or not."
Zhao Jia raised his hand and said, "Please go ahead."
Feng Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Qin, you are really...shameless."
Zhao Jia laughed out loud, as if Feng Shu was praising him and pleasing him, he didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "Really? That's really thanks to Mr. Xianyin's absurd praise. Let me ask Mr. Xianyin, in front of power, you Will you lose face? Jia is still good, just shameless, unlike Mrs. Xian Yin, who doesn't even want... "
As he was speaking, he reached out and "slapped" Feng Shu's buttocks. Feng Shu was startled, and backed away again and again, his face turned purple, and he almost exploded.
Although Feng Shu felt angry, there was nothing he could do. Zhao Jia said, "Actually, it's not a difficult matter. Jia heard that the relationship between Chu State and Yong State has become hostile recently. Maybe one day it will turn into war. If there is this opportunity to go to the battlefield, I would like to ask Mr. Xian Yin to recommend Jia."
Feng Shu sneered and said, "Feng Shu must remember, so I'll take my leave first."
After Feng Shu finished speaking, he didn't dare to entangle him too much. After all, Mr. Qin was a respectable and gentle man before him, but he was a jackal after him. Feng Shu didn't dare to stay, so he ran away immediately after speaking.
Zhao Jia didn't stop him this time, and couldn't help smiling when he saw Feng Shu "running away with his head in his arms"...
The envoys of Yun State arrived in Chu State soon, and Wu Jiao was going to entertain the envoys in Lu's bedroom. He was accompanied by some senior officials of Chu State.
Who would have thought that this envoy from the Yun State was even less reliable than the previous emissary, and he looked arrogant, as if it was the State of Chu who was at fault.
Wu Jiu's feeling is correct, in fact it is quite accurate, this envoy is wronged by the state of Chu, he is Mrs. Yun's natal family, and a relative of Yun State. Because of Mrs. Yun, he has always been favored, and He is not a diplomatic official, but always nests in the small country of Yun, watching the sky from a well, so he is very arrogant.
In addition, the envoy was "brainwashed" by Mrs. Yun Guo, thinking that they had the handle of the King of Chu, so they were qualified to sit on the ground with Wu Jiu to bid, so they were very arrogant.
At the banquet, the envoy of Yun State said: "King Chu, please retreat to the left and right."
Wu Jiu smiled, and said strangely: "Why do you have to back away from the left and right? Does the envoy of the Yun Kingdom have something to say, can't they say it in front of everyone?"
The envoy smiled, quite disdainful, and said: "This matter that the foreign minister wants to say has something to do with you, the king of Chu. If you let the officials hear it, it may affect your prestige, the king of Chu."
When everyone heard this, they were all in an uproar, thinking that the tone of the envoy of Yun State was not small.
Wu Jiu smiled coldly and said, "Oh? How come I don't know that I have any shortcomings in your hand, the envoy?"
After Wu Jiu said so, he still waved his hand, and all the scholar-bureaucrats sitting next to him got up and left the Lu Palace one after another, the court ladies and eunuchs also retreated, naturally Marquis Qi did not.
Wu Jiu said, "The envoy can speak now."
The envoy glanced at Marquis Qi, but it meant that Wu Jiu didn't care, and he was not around anymore, so he said, "King Chu, it's like this, our country of Yun can marry a girl from a big country to Doujia, in exchange, we Yun Guo took Xiao Guo's daughter away, but the compensation is probably not appropriate."
Wu Jiu smiled, and said patiently, "Why is it inappropriate? The envoy might as well talk about it."
The envoy of Yun State smiled and said, "The King of Chu may not know the identity of Ziwen, the little prince of your country..."
When he said this, he deliberately prolonged his voice, and continued: "Our lady of Yunguo already knows, and she is very clear. If our Yunguo reveals the identity of the young prince of Lingguo to the public, I am afraid that the king of Chu will not be able to make the little prince as a prince again." The crown prince, so our country of Yun intends to exchange this news with the king of Chu. We will keep the news for the king of Chu, and then send the daughter of the Chang country to your Chu country for marriage, and return the young girl of the country. No loss, if you agree, the king of Chu will sign the document."
As the envoy said, he put a roll of lambskin on Wu Jiu's case
Hearing what the envoy of Yun State said, Wu Jiu was really rampant. He had no other words to describe it, so he smiled coldly and said, "Envoy of Yun State, that's a good sentence...it's not a loss."
As he was speaking, he suddenly smashed the wine glass on the ground with his hands, making a "crack!!", before the envoy of Yun Kingdom had time to retreat, the glass hit the ground, and the shards jumped up and scratched his face.
The envoy of the Yun Kingdom yelled in horror, and quickly covered his cheeks.
Wu Jiu smiled coldly, stood up, and said, "You Yun people, what right do you have to use Ziwen's background to threaten me? Since the day you Yun people abandoned Ziwen, Ziwen has nothing to do with you." , it is not your life-saving talisman now!"
The envoys of the Yun State were pressed by Wu Jiu, and backed away in fright. They stared in horror and looked at the King Chu who had a gentle smile on his face just now, but now he was full of indifference.
When Wu Jiu said this, he suddenly grabbed the saber at his waist, and immediately drew the sword out of its sheath with a "chi--", amidst the exclamation of the envoys of the Yun Kingdom, he heard "Duo!", Wu Jiu Instead of slashing at him with the sword, he turned around and slashed at the case. On the case was the roll of lambskin, which was cut into two by Wu Jiao's sharp sword in an instant, and it fell apart in an instant. up.
Wu Jiao said coldly: "Either pay compensation and apologize, or a war will end. You people of Yun state decide for yourself. If I don't want to kill the envoy, I will take your dog's head and go back to Yun state to report the letter!"
Wu
Wu Jiu heard that Marquis Qi is so hardworking, so he got up too. First, he went to the dining room to boil the mutton soup. After all, the mutton steamed bun soup needs to be boiled for at least 20 hours, so that the fresh and rich mutton can be completely boiled. come out.
Wu Jiao entered the dining room, and the ingredients were fresh. Wu Jiao directly boiled two pots of soup with the mutton bone and the mutton meat, adjusted the taste, and then handed it over to the cook. For the fragrance, the mutton must be boiled until soft and tasty.
Wait until the mutton soup is almost boiled, and then come back to prepare steamed buns and ingredients for the soup. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as garlic in this era. If there is garlic, soak sugared garlic and eat it with mutton steamed buns. It’s really refreshing Tired, and eat again, absolutely delicious to have no friends!
Wu Jiao boiled the soup, at this time Ziqing came over and said, "Your Majesty, Tang Wu said that the old man is awake."
Hearing this, Wu Jiu just happened to have boiled soup, so he came out of the dining room, changed his clothes, and hurried to the Dou family to see the situation.
Wu Jiu came to Dou's house in a black car, and was greeted by Dou Qi, Dou Qi quickly welcomed Wu Jiu into the mansion and invited him to Dou Bobi's house.
Dou Bobi was still lying on the couch, his complexion was not very good and he was very weak, but he finally woke up, and when he saw Wu Jiu, he immediately struggled to get up and salute, but Wu Jiu stopped him, saying: "The old man can be regarded as woke up."
Dou Bobi's voice was very weak, and he said, "Your Majesty, the daughter of the Chang Kingdom of Yun...is it alright?"
Wu Jiu heard him ask Chang Yunji, and said: "Don't worry, Chang Yunji was poisoned, but her life is not in danger. She woke up yesterday, and when the old man is better, she can go visit her."
Dou Bobi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "Thank you, my king."
Wu Jiu came to visit his doctor, and when he talked about what had happened in the past few days, Dou Bobi sighed deeply and said, "Dou Qi."
Dou Qi quickly said: "Brother, do you have any orders?"
Dou Bobi said: "Si Bai worked hard for this matter, and now he is still sick in the mansion, so you must visit Doctor Si Bai on my behalf."
Dou Qi heard him mention this, although he was a little reluctant, after all, Dou Qi felt that the Ru family was treacherous, and when Lu Chen was poisoned, the Ru family members came to make trouble and incite public opinion, so Dou Qi didn't like to see the Ru family members even more up.
But Dou Bobi has said so, the eldest brother is like a father, Dou Qi didn't dare to talk back, just cupped his hands and said: "Yes, Qi made a note."
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "It's great that Mo Ao is going to visit Si Bai, and I'm going too, why don't you be on the same road?"
This trip out of the palace, I plan to go to see Dou Bobi first, and then go to see Ruo Luchen, just walk around, after all, because of this incident, Dou Bobi and Ruo Luchen were both injured, Wu Jiao, as the king, You should care about your servants.
Dou Qi wanted to prevaricate, but Wu Jiao mentioned it to him on the agenda, it was like rushing the ducks to the shelves, so he had to bite the bullet and agree, and hurried to change his clothes.
Dou Bobi was still weak, unable to stay in the bed, and said to Dou Qi earnestly: "The matter between the Luo family and the Dou family has passed away. Think about it, the Luo family was also for the benefit of their own people, and they were close to the former king. It's nothing to criticize, Dou Qi, don't anger Lu Chen because of this matter."
Dou Qi agreed, although there was no sincerity, Dou Bobi said: "Lu Chen is young and talented, it can be seen that the king thinks highly of him, and you will be officials in the same dynasty in the future. To cause trouble for the king, Dou Qi, you are a sensible person, you don't need to say more."
Dou Qi naturally understood, but he couldn't swallow this breath. In terms of tolerance, Dou Qi knew that he was absolutely inferior to Dou Bobi. If Dou Bobi hadn't returned to the mountain, he would not be the head of the Dou Family.
Dou Qi had no choice but to respond, saying: "Dou Qi knows, and will definitely put the overall situation first."
Wu Jiu waited for a while, Dou Qi had changed his clothes, and came out to apologize, saying: "Keep me waiting for a long time, Dou Qi is rude."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It's all right, let's go now."
Wu Jiu wanted to go to Lu Chen's house as soon as possible, and after he got back, he had to make steamed buns for Marquis Qi.
Wu Jiu invited Dou Qi to ride with him, and Dou Qi was flattered, and hurriedly pedaled the car to accompany him, looking very dutiful.
When everyone came to the mansion of Lu Chen, Lu Chen greeted him at the door, his face was a little pale, obviously because of poisoning, but after all, Lu Chen was much younger than Dou Bo, and he discovered it earlier In addition, although Lu Chen was a literati, he was tall and could be called strong, so he recovered quickly.
Ruo Luchen was sick at home and was recuperating. When he heard that the king of Chu was coming to visit him, he hurriedly greeted him at the door. Wu Jiu got out of the car and quickly helped Ruo Luchen up with his own hands. Look, who came to visit with the widow?"
Dou Qi stood at the back, trying to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible, but Wu Jiu also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to resolve the enmity between the Dou family and the Luo family, so he deliberately said this, so Dou Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Master Si Bai. "
Lu Chen was obviously a little surprised, he was taken aback when he saw Dou Qi, then cupped his hands and said, "Master Mo Ao."
Ruo Luchen hurriedly welcomed everyone into the mansion. Compared with the Dou family, the Ruo family is not enough. Without the brilliance and magnificence of the Dou family, especially after Ruo Luchen came to power, he actually doesn't like luxury. From simplicity, it seems even more depressed.
Ruo Luchen sat down in the hall facing the crowd and asked Wu Jiu and Dou Qi to serve tea. Dou Qi took a sip of the tea and looked at the teacup with disgust.
Wu Jiu also coughed, the tea was like tea leaves, I didn't expect Lu Chen's house to be so simple.
Lu Chen bowed his hands in embarrassment and said: "Please don't mind your Majesty and Lord Mo Ao. There is really no good tea in Lu Chen's house. This tea is already the best."
What Luo Luchen said was the truth, in fact, he didn't mean to be shabby on purpose. Although the Luo family is big, it is far inferior to the Dou family, and since they got close to the new king Xiongfei, although their consciousness is correct, Ruo Ao's The power is too great, and the face can't be controlled, so the Luo family has been suppressed by the Dou family, and it has been depressed a lot.
Lu Chen was ordered in danger and became the head of the family at a young age, but his mind was not on fighting against the fighters. As a boss, he often had to picket various things and officials. Offending people was inevitable, and of course A lot of money was spent, and Lu Chen often contributed money to picket by himself, and he was not corrupt, so the family didn't have much money, and there was no savings at all.
Although the Luo family lives together, most of them live on their own, so they don't use their own money to subsidize the shabby patriarch. In addition, Wu Jiu came in a hurry, and Lu Chen couldn't afford money to buy good tea for a while. Let the servants rush to buy it, and buy whatever kind of tea they can buy. After all, after Wu Jiu's leadership in Qi, drinking tea has become the style of the nobles, and it is shameful not to drink tea.
Wu Jiu smiled, and said, "Your Majesty Si Bai is simple, it seems like it's time for me to redo the salary of the literati."
Lu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "This... makes my king worry, and Lu Chen's family will not be unable to open the pot."
Dou Qi looked at Lu Chen with the eyes of an idiot. Lu Chen is an official and a doctor, and his food and salary should be a lot. "Can't uncover the pot" four words.
Wu Jiu smiled and said to Dou Qi: "Mo Ao, there are many ministers in the court who don't know how to do business, don't know how to share the worries of Chu, but come out to chew their tongues when they are in chaos. This time Sibai was poisoned, it must be Mo Ao I also experienced..."
Dou Qi knew that what Wu Jiu was talking about was gossip. Although the matter was provoked by the envoys of Yun State, if no one from Chu State spread the word and no one was seriously injured, the matter would not have caused such a big disturbance. Seriously injured, of course I have experience.
Wu Jiu said: "I don't want to be under the jurisdiction of the widow. I don't want the phenomenon of eating free rice. The loyal ministers who are dedicated to their duties have no food and salary to support their families. The matter of re-establishing the food and salary is left to Mo Ao to manage. I believe Mo Ao will not disappoint the widow."
When Dou Qi heard this, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Qi Lingzhao, thank you King for your respect!"
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Don't thank me so early, although it's important, but if Mo Ao doesn't do well, he will be punished."
Seeing Wu Jiu's smiling, gentle look, Dou Qi couldn't help feeling a little numb in his back. He always felt that the new king was a bit unfathomable...
It was already noon when they came, Lu Chen prepared lunch for everyone, Wu Jiu smiled and said: "The widow is busy with business, and I have to go back to the palace to do business, and Dou Qing happens to be free, so I will stay here for dinner." Let's have lunch, the widow is one step ahead."
Wu Jiu stood up as he said that, Lu Luchen rushed to send Wu Jiu respectfully, while Dou Qi's face was blue and sallow, and his tea was already like this, let alone lunch, Wu Jiu ran away and left himself behind. Come down, can Dou Qi's face not be sallow?
Wu Jiu walked out with a smile on his face, and quickly boarded the car, the car rumbled away, leaving Dou Qi very embarrassed, and Dou Qi also wanted to find a way to say goodbye, but who knew that Lu Chen was very honest, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: " Lord Mo Ao, please, the lunch has already been prepared, and we will be able to eat it soon."
Dou Qiqian laughed and said, "Don't bother, Dou..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen said sincerely: "No trouble, it has already been prepared, Mr. Mo Ao, please come in."
Wu Jiu left Dou Qi to enjoy the delicacy, while he rushed back to the palace, first went to the small bedroom to have a look, Qi Hou hadn't come back, it must be difficult to work carefully, did not expect that the unreliable envoy of Yun State, in fact Still a tough guy?
Wu Jiu went out of the small bedroom, went to the dining room, the bone soup and mutton soup had been boiled fragrant, before entering the dining room, he could smell a fragrant smell, very appetizing.
Many people don’t like mutton steamed buns because the mutton has a strong smell, or the mutton soup is greasy. In fact, the really delicious and authentic mutton steamed buns are delicious mutton. The soup is fat but not greasy. It tastes like soup with steamed buns, and you won't feel tired after eating it all. This is the ultimate.
Because it was the first time for Qihou to eat mutton steamed buns, Wu Jiu prepared two cold dishes to eat together in order not to make Qihou feel tired. He made a cold fungus, which was crispy and refreshing, and a cold lotus root. In this way, the cool lotus root can also be neutralized with the warm mutton, so that it will not be hot.
Wu Jiao prepared the cold dishes, marinated them, it was easy to taste, and then he started to bake the buns. Although the buns are actually very simple, the key is that the buns made of mutton need to be broken into soybeans to the size of broad beans, and they need to be boiled In mutton soup, in this way, the quality of the buns can be seen intuitively. The most embarrassing thing about eating mutton buns is that you want to eat mutton buns, but the buns turn into goat soup. After being soaked in mutton soup, it is also a technical task to penetrate the flavor without rotting.
Wu twisted [-]% of the dead noodles, and kneaded [-]% of the leftover noodles. Completely dead noodles would affect the soup of the buns. If the buns couldn’t hold the soup, they would taste tasteless and dry. In order to make the buns firm and not easy to rot.
Soon Wu Jiu finished kneading the dough, looked at the time, and found that it was already dusk, so he immediately baked the buns in the pan, and then took them out.
As soon as Wu Jiu finished these things, Ziqing said, "Your Majesty, Duke Qi is back."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiao quickly put the steaming steamed buns in a big bowl, and then carried the steamed buns over. The first step in eating mutton steamed buns is breaking the steamed buns, which is one of the greatest joys of eating mutton steamed buns.
Wu Jiu entered the small bedroom with a big bowl, Qihou came back from outside and was changing his clothes, the clothes he took off had some blood stains on them, and there was a fishy smell, so they got together quickly and asked the eunuch next to him to clean it up , smiled and said: "Second brother, you are here."
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, watching Qi Hou ask the eunuch to take away the bloody clothes like a thief, of course it wasn't that Qi Hou was injured, he probably went to torture to extract a confession, and it was quite tricky.
Wu Jiao said with a smile, "Isn't it true that fighting is bloodless?"
Qihou said: "Second brother, don't make fun of Gu, the green formula of the second brother is so precious, how can Gu use the green formula every time."
Wu Jiu put the big bowl on the case and said with a smile, "Then how is your interrogation going?"
Qihou patted himself on the chest, said with a smile: "Is there anything else that can't be done alone?"
As he said, he couldn't wait to run over, looked into the bowl, and was thinking about his mutton steamed buns, but he looked down and was dumbfounded, why is there only one big steamed bun?
Logically speaking, the four words mutton steamed bun can roughly understand the appearance of this dish. There must be mutton. Why is there only one big white steamed bun?
Qihou said in surprise, "Second brother, where's the mutton?"
Seeing that he was so greedy, Wu Jiao smiled helplessly and said, "What's the rush? Let me tell you about the results of your interrogation first."
Qihou had no choice but to sit down, and said politely: "Second brother, you must not have guessed which country sent the envoy as a spy."
Wu Jiu said, "Which country is it from?"
Qihou smiled mysteriously, and said, "Tell me about it, it's actually Yongguo."
"Yongguo?"
Wu Jiu is no stranger to Yongguo. Not long before Wu Jiu came to the throne, the former emperor Hu Qi asked Duke Lu to join forces with the people of Yongguo to attack Chu. Afterwards, things failed. Hu Qi wanted peace talks and was invited by Wu Jiu. "Traveling in the lake" is gone forever.
In this way, Chu State and Yong State actually had a grudge, but later Yong State's attitude was good, and the matter of the new emperor attracted Wu Jiao's focus, so the matter of Yong State was put aside for the time being. Ci Yongguo even took the initiative to provoke them.
There is actually a reason why Yongguo provoked the increasingly powerful Chu State at this time.
The state of Yong is near the state of Chu, and the two countries border on the northwest end of the state of Chu. In this way, the state of Chu is actually a threat to the state of Yong.
Seeing that the state of Chu is getting stronger and stronger, it has extended its hand to the Central Plains, formed an alliance with the king of Zhou, and also helped the people of Zhou to attack the Chidi people in the north, and became famous for a while. The country will only become stronger and stronger, and it is impossible to go downhill recently.
And Yongguo is next to Chu State, feeling the pressure, and the king of Yongguo feels that he has not stood up well before and offended Chu State. If Chu State becomes stronger and absolutely wants to annex the surrounding countries, it will start from Yongguo started.
Therefore, the monarch of Yongguo thought of such a pre-emptive method.
Taking advantage of Dou Bobi's birthday banquet this time, he used Yun as a cover to fish in troubled waters. The people of Yong state knew that Dou Bobi was half the sky of Chu. Better than starting.
It happened that Chang Yunji wanted to see Dou Bobi and explain about Mrs. Yun, so the envoy of Yun bought off the eunuch next to Chang Yunji. It is a subordinate relationship, so it is easy for the envoy of Yun to instruct the eunuch.
The eunuch assassinated Dou Bobi, but it was unsuccessful, and it just caused the Dou family to fall into chaos. Naturally, the envoys of Yun State refused to let it go, so they wanted to kill Chang Yun Ji. It can be pinched, Chang Yunji died in the post house of Chu State, or was poisoned to death while under house arrest, Yun State can also question Chu State, Chu State will have external troubles and internal troubles.
The envoy of the Yun State thought very well, but unexpectedly got another surprise. Lu Chen happened to go to see Chang Yun Ji, and was also poisoned. Dou Qi, in this way, the Dou family will become a mess.
It's a pity that the envoy of the Yun State made a mistake in bowing and doing his best. If he saw something good, he would accept it. He just assassinated Dou Bobi. Wu Jiao never knew who did it, and everything was unknown Unknowingly, however, the envoys of the Yun State accepted them without knowing what was good, and repeatedly attacked, which finally exposed the envoys of the Yun State.
It took a lot of effort for Marquis Qi to interrogate him. The envoy of Yun State was very strict with his mouth. Marquis Qi interrogated the envoy of Yun State and the driver of the carriage separately. They tortured and extorted confessions. No one said anything. Blood, but Marquis Qi is also smart, and he used clichés on both sides, telling the envoys of Yun State and the driver that the other party had confessed, and Marquis Qi finally got the truth out.
Qihou felt that he had devoted himself to the mutton stew, and he was dying!
After Qihou finished speaking, he immediately said: "Second brother, look at how tired I am, give Gu some steamed mutton."
Wu Jiu really had no choice but to use his superb boyfriend power and said, "Isn't this what it is? You break the steamed buns first, then pour the soup and soak it."
When Qihou heard it, it turned out that it was such a method of making buns, who wouldn't know how to break buns?Even though Qihou had never eaten it before, he would still "break" this action, so he quickly brought the big bowl to him, and reached out to pick up the big white buns, which Wu Jiao specially made that were bigger than his face.
Qi Hou picked it up and broke it vigorously, so big a piece of bun, Qi Hou broke it four times, and finally each bun was much bigger than his mouth, if he wanted to eat this kind of bun, he had to open his mouth To the point where the mouth is full of blood...
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, and Qi Hou shared his experience with him with a relaxed face, saying, "Second brother, when Gu was fighting outside, he also broke pancakes and dipped them in soup to eat, isn't that true?"
Wu Jiu shook his head helplessly, brought over the big bowl containing the steamed buns, then rolled up his black sleeve robe, exposing the position below the elbow, so as not to let the sleeves get into the bowl.
Wu Jiu began to diligently break the steamed buns for Qi Hou, and Qi Hou just sat and watched, what he saw was an obsession, he liked eating, and so did his second brother, so Qi Hou naturally watched very attentively, as if No matter how you look at it, you can't get tired of it.
Wu Jiu smashed the buns into small pieces the size of soybeans. His white hands were very nimble, and he quickly broke the buns. Qi Hou looked at them with a smirk, and said, "Second brother, your hands are so beautiful."
Wu Jiu lowered his head to look at his hands, and was somewhat embarrassed to hear Qi Hou talking about love, but at this moment Qi Hou said, "It's as white as steamed buns."
Wu Jiu almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and directly smashed the big bowl of steamed buns that were broken into soybean-sized pieces on Qihou's head.
However, Wu Jiu didn't do this in the end, because the steamed buns he worked so hard to break, such a big steamed bun, can be described as a giant. Wu Jiu's fingers hurt and were numb after breaking it. Come on, isn't it going to break up again?
Wu Jiu had no choice but to "swallow his breath" and finish breaking the buns. Qi Hou wanted to praise Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu stopped him coldly, and Qi Hou didn't know why the second brother didn't like him praising him...
When the steamed buns were finished, Wu Jiao took the big bowl away, and came back soon, this time the bowl had already been filled with soup, just like what Wu Jiao said last night, rich and mellow, fat but not greasy, just like the soup. You can tell how fragrant it is by smelling it!
The clear and bright mutton soup is covered with steamed buns, with a layer of soft mutton on top, and a layer of various accessories on top. The top is covered with a layer of shiny, powdery vermicelli. The vermicelli is like a big net. , to cover the deliciousness below and lock the rich aroma.
Qihou's eyes lit up in an instant, staring at the bowl of steamed mutton, Wu Jiao gave him a small dagger and a pair of chopsticks, Qihou immediately started to eat, first drank a spoonful of soup, the soup tasted delicious It's absolutely amazing. Although it hasn't been boiled for enough time, it is already very strong. The delicious mutton smell is not fishy or greasy. It has a combination of mellow and light taste, which is strange.
Qihou picked up another chopsticks of mutton, which was already stewed very soft and rotten, not clogging the teeth, but with a springy feeling, with a spoonful of soaked steamed buns, the mutton soup has been fully absorbed by the steamed buns, and the soup The taste mixed with the steamed buns is really indescribable, I just feel that the whole person is warm.
Qihou immediately began to sweep, the weather was not hot anymore, but Qihou was sweating profusely, the warm feeling slid from his throat to his stomach along with the mutton soup, Qihou also gave two small cold dishes After cleaning it up, he finally picked up the big bowl and drank the rest of the soup in one gulp, with a look of unsatisfactory expression on his face.
Wu Jiu watched Qihou eat with a smile, and felt a sense of accomplishment, after all, Qihou always eats with a happy face, and people who cook like this are very impressed.
Qi Hou ate it all in one go, and only then had time to praise Wu Jiu, saying, "Second brother, your cooking is really delicious!"
Since Marquis Qi made a contribution in the interrogation, steamed buns made with mutton will be rewarded, and the dinner will start soon. Marquis Qi called it a meal with his second brother, and he ate another meal by himself. Wu Jiao was really afraid that he would have indigestion again Heart.
Now the truth has come to light, the people of the Yong state are despicable, so Wu Jiu will naturally not let it go, but Wu Jiu will not let the state of Yun go, after all, Shao Yunji tried to kill people in the state of Chu, and blamed it on the state of Chu. For things, Wu Jiao must be extorting money, if he does not extort money, he will not extort money, otherwise he will suffer from staying up all night these days, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?
On the one hand, Wu Jiu asked Dou Qi to re-determine the grain and salary, in fact, to pursue the rumors, the ministers of the court and the central government were scared in an instant, and they all calmed down.
On the other hand, let the left disciples communicate with Yun Guo and ask them to pay and apologize. Wu Jiao also set a price. Shao Yunji is young and ignorant, and it is understandable. As long as they are willing to pay money and apologize, they will marry Chang Yunji When they got to Doujia, let them take Shaoyunji away, and the matter was cancelled.
When Yunguo heard about this, Yunzi was very scared. After all, Yunguo was above Yongguo and was close to Chu. Moreover, Yunguo was not as powerful as Yongguo at all. Yunzi was afraid of things, so he thought To agree.
But Mrs. Yunguo is used to being arrogant and domineering, but she doesn't want to agree. It's fine to marry the eldest daughter to Dou Bobi. Anyway, the eldest daughter is devoted to Dou Bobi, but let them lose money, Yunguo is weak, and let them lose money , Mrs. Yunguo refused to lose money.
Yunzi was very scared, and wanted to persuade Mrs. Yunguo to pay some money and make the big deal smaller, but Mrs. Yunguo assured Yunzi that they had something to do with Chu State, and they were naturally little princes, who could threaten the King of Chu. , just married her daughter, but did not lose money.
Yunzi was also a stingy man, and after hearing what Mrs. Yun said, he agreed to give it a try. Soon the envoy of Yun came. The envoy was from Mrs. Yun's family and came to reply to Chu.
The matter of entertaining the envoys of the Yun Kingdom should have been managed by Zuo Tu, but Wu Jiu recently wanted to promote Peng Zhongshuang, so it was reasonable for Peng Zhongshuang, Le Yin, to manage it.
Wu Jiu just said that everything should be kept simple and there is no need to be extravagant and wasteful. Peng Zhongshuang naturally understood what he meant. After all, Yunguo caused trouble, so they naturally didn't need their big entertainment.
The envoys of the Yun State are already on their way, and everyone is busy receiving the envoys of the Yun State. The envoys and kings of other countries are also preparing to return one after another. Recently, the State of Chu has been very busy, and everyone is performing their duties.
Feng Shu came out from the Political Affairs Hall, and he came to the Political Affairs Hall today to deliver documents to Dou Qi. Wu Jiu ordered Dou Qi to redo the matter of food and salary. Because Feng Shu had collected a lot of rumors and gossips before, he came here to deliver the materials, and Dou Qi After a handover, he came out of the Political Affairs Hall, ready to be busy with other things.
He just came out of the Political Affairs Hall, wondering if he should have lunch first, and then get busy again, otherwise he would be too busy to eat in the afternoon. He had something on his mind, so he didn't look at it when he walked, and he didn't take a few steps. Suddenly, I felt a shadow cast on the top of my head. When I looked up, my eyes narrowed, and I was almost startled.
It turned out to be Qin Gongzi Zhao Jia.
Zhao Jia folded his arms and stood in front of Feng Shu with a decent smile on his face. Feng Shu was not as tall as him. Looking at Zhao Jia as if he saw a mountain, he hurriedly took two steps back, his eyes narrowed, In Zhao Jia's eyes, it looks like a cat, and it still has fried hair.
Feng Shu took two steps back, and quickly cupped his hands calmly and said, "Young Master Qin, Feng Shu is being polite."
Zhao Jia lowered his head and stared at Feng Shu with a smile, Feng Shu's eyebrows were knit together, wanting to run away on guard at any time.
Zhao Jia didn't say anything, and walked forward slowly a few steps. Feng Shu hurriedly retreated cautiously, and said in a low voice, "You...what are you doing!?"
Zhao Jia immediately showed a strange face and said, "What? Jia didn't do anything, why did Dr. Xian Yin say that? Or does Master Xian Yin want Jia to do something?"
When Feng Shu heard this, his face turned red with anger, he stared at him, and said: "If Mr. Qin is fine, Feng Shu will take his leave first, forgive Feng Shu for not being with you."
As he said, he was about to walk around Zhao Jia, but Zhao Jia easily stepped sideways, and Feng Shu almost bumped into his arms, causing Feng Shu to retreat quickly and warily.
Zhao Jia just chuckled, let go of his arms, and even brushed his chest, as if Feng Shu had bumped his clothes dirty.
Looking at his actions, Feng Shu was so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke, but he endured it, thinking that one more thing would be better than one less thing, so let's go quickly.
Zhao Jia raised one arm, and stopped Feng Shu directly with his long hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Xian Yin, wait a minute, don't leave in such a hurry, Jia heard that Lord Xian Yin cooperated with Lord Mo Ao recently and made great achievements, Flying to the top is just around the corner."
Feng Shu looked at Zhao Ji, but didn't speak, Zhao Jia said again: "Actually, Jia came here this time to ask Lord Xian Yin."
Feng Shu stared at him even more suspiciously, with a look of distrust, Zhao Jia smiled and said, "That's right, the purpose of Jia's coming to Chu Kingdom must be known to Master Xian Yin, and Jia was sent by Qin Kingdom Proton, there is no official position in the state of Chu, and Jia doesn't want to be idle all day, so..."
Feng Shu understood now, it turned out that Mr. Qin wanted him to help introduce him.
Feng Shu squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Jia, Zhao Jia said: "Jia's words are true, there is absolutely no intention of entertaining Lord Xian Yin."
Zhao Jia is the protégé of the state of Qin. Even though he was a victorious general in the state of Qin, he is nothing when he arrives in the state of Chu. Now he has been here for more than a month and has no official position. He lives in the palace all day long. Zhao Jia was naturally unwilling to be so mediocre, so he thought of Feng Shu.
Zhao Jia said again: "If Master Xian Yin is willing to help recommend, the grievances between you and me will be..."
Feng Shu's eyes lit up immediately, and he said suspiciously, "Will you write it off?"
Zhao Jia laughed and said, "How is it possible?"
Feng Shu's face was still bright just now, but now it was covered with a layer of dust, Zhao Jia said: "Well, even if Jia said to write it off, Xian Yin is a smart person, so he can't believe it, right?"
The veins on Feng Shu's face twitched twice, he stared at Zhao Jia, gritted his molars and said, "Young Master Qin, Feng Shu didn't know if he should say something or not."
Zhao Jia raised his hand and said, "Please go ahead."
Feng Shu gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Qin, you are really...shameless."
Zhao Jia laughed out loud, as if Feng Shu was praising him and pleasing him, he didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "Really? That's really thanks to Mr. Xianyin's absurd praise. Let me ask Mr. Xianyin, in front of power, you Will you lose face? Jia is still good, just shameless, unlike Mrs. Xian Yin, who doesn't even want... "
As he was speaking, he reached out and "slapped" Feng Shu's buttocks. Feng Shu was startled, and backed away again and again, his face turned purple, and he almost exploded.
Although Feng Shu felt angry, there was nothing he could do. Zhao Jia said, "Actually, it's not a difficult matter. Jia heard that the relationship between Chu State and Yong State has become hostile recently. Maybe one day it will turn into war. If there is this opportunity to go to the battlefield, I would like to ask Mr. Xian Yin to recommend Jia."
Feng Shu sneered and said, "Feng Shu must remember, so I'll take my leave first."
After Feng Shu finished speaking, he didn't dare to entangle him too much. After all, Mr. Qin was a respectable and gentle man before him, but he was a jackal after him. Feng Shu didn't dare to stay, so he ran away immediately after speaking.
Zhao Jia didn't stop him this time, and couldn't help smiling when he saw Feng Shu "running away with his head in his arms"...
The envoys of Yun State arrived in Chu State soon, and Wu Jiao was going to entertain the envoys in Lu's bedroom. He was accompanied by some senior officials of Chu State.
Who would have thought that this envoy from the Yun State was even less reliable than the previous emissary, and he looked arrogant, as if it was the State of Chu who was at fault.
Wu Jiu's feeling is correct, in fact it is quite accurate, this envoy is wronged by the state of Chu, he is Mrs. Yun's natal family, and a relative of Yun State. Because of Mrs. Yun, he has always been favored, and He is not a diplomatic official, but always nests in the small country of Yun, watching the sky from a well, so he is very arrogant.
In addition, the envoy was "brainwashed" by Mrs. Yun Guo, thinking that they had the handle of the King of Chu, so they were qualified to sit on the ground with Wu Jiu to bid, so they were very arrogant.
At the banquet, the envoy of Yun State said: "King Chu, please retreat to the left and right."
Wu Jiu smiled, and said strangely: "Why do you have to back away from the left and right? Does the envoy of the Yun Kingdom have something to say, can't they say it in front of everyone?"
The envoy smiled, quite disdainful, and said: "This matter that the foreign minister wants to say has something to do with you, the king of Chu. If you let the officials hear it, it may affect your prestige, the king of Chu."
When everyone heard this, they were all in an uproar, thinking that the tone of the envoy of Yun State was not small.
Wu Jiu smiled coldly and said, "Oh? How come I don't know that I have any shortcomings in your hand, the envoy?"
After Wu Jiu said so, he still waved his hand, and all the scholar-bureaucrats sitting next to him got up and left the Lu Palace one after another, the court ladies and eunuchs also retreated, naturally Marquis Qi did not.
Wu Jiu said, "The envoy can speak now."
The envoy glanced at Marquis Qi, but it meant that Wu Jiu didn't care, and he was not around anymore, so he said, "King Chu, it's like this, our country of Yun can marry a girl from a big country to Doujia, in exchange, we Yun Guo took Xiao Guo's daughter away, but the compensation is probably not appropriate."
Wu Jiu smiled, and said patiently, "Why is it inappropriate? The envoy might as well talk about it."
The envoy of Yun State smiled and said, "The King of Chu may not know the identity of Ziwen, the little prince of your country..."
When he said this, he deliberately prolonged his voice, and continued: "Our lady of Yunguo already knows, and she is very clear. If our Yunguo reveals the identity of the young prince of Lingguo to the public, I am afraid that the king of Chu will not be able to make the little prince as a prince again." The crown prince, so our country of Yun intends to exchange this news with the king of Chu. We will keep the news for the king of Chu, and then send the daughter of the Chang country to your Chu country for marriage, and return the young girl of the country. No loss, if you agree, the king of Chu will sign the document."
As the envoy said, he put a roll of lambskin on Wu Jiu's case
Hearing what the envoy of Yun State said, Wu Jiu was really rampant. He had no other words to describe it, so he smiled coldly and said, "Envoy of Yun State, that's a good sentence...it's not a loss."
As he was speaking, he suddenly smashed the wine glass on the ground with his hands, making a "crack!!", before the envoy of Yun Kingdom had time to retreat, the glass hit the ground, and the shards jumped up and scratched his face.
The envoy of the Yun Kingdom yelled in horror, and quickly covered his cheeks.
Wu Jiu smiled coldly, stood up, and said, "You Yun people, what right do you have to use Ziwen's background to threaten me? Since the day you Yun people abandoned Ziwen, Ziwen has nothing to do with you." , it is not your life-saving talisman now!"
The envoys of the Yun State were pressed by Wu Jiu, and backed away in fright. They stared in horror and looked at the King Chu who had a gentle smile on his face just now, but now he was full of indifference.
When Wu Jiu said this, he suddenly grabbed the saber at his waist, and immediately drew the sword out of its sheath with a "chi--", amidst the exclamation of the envoys of the Yun Kingdom, he heard "Duo!", Wu Jiu Instead of slashing at him with the sword, he turned around and slashed at the case. On the case was the roll of lambskin, which was cut into two by Wu Jiao's sharp sword in an instant, and it fell apart in an instant. up.
Wu Jiao said coldly: "Either pay compensation and apologize, or a war will end. You people of Yun state decide for yourself. If I don't want to kill the envoy, I will take your dog's head and go back to Yun state to report the letter!"
