Everyone saw that there were some small ripples in the water, and a small boat floated in the lake water like a leaf, breaking through the waves of ripples, and coming towards them quickly.

The speed of the small boat was extremely fast, it kept stirring the lake water, and it arrived in front of us in a blink of an eye.

Everyone was surprised, those water bandits only had one boat, and because the boat was small, there were only two people on board who were in charge of punting, one was in charge of steering and lighting, and the other was standing tall, standing on the bow, with his hands behind his back. , look over to them.

The person standing on the bow can be vaguely seen to be tall, and as the boat gets closer, it becomes clearer and clearer. The person is about 20 years old, very tall, with a kind of hole The feeling of being strong and powerful, but it's not that the beard is entangled, it looks capable and young, and the childishness of a big boy has not faded away.

When the man got closer, everyone could see his face clearly. Although he was so tall, he carried a feeling unique to southerners. His face was handsome and delicate, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Yes, there seems to be an indescribable contagious ability that makes you feel good when you see him.

The man standing on the bow of the boat might be Yanjiu, the leader of the water bandits. When he saw the banquet by the lake, he waved to everyone and laughed loudly. The laughter was carried by the night wind, and it was extraordinarily hearty and clear. .

Everyone was surprised that the leader of the water bandit was so young, and the leader of the water bandit came to the banquet with three subordinates.

Wu Jiao also stood up, brushed off his black robe, and when he saw the boat approaching, he cupped his hands in the distance and said, "Mr. Yan, I'm being polite."

Hearing his voice, the young man standing on the bow laughed heartily, and said, "You call me Mr.? I'm afraid the real Mr. is not convinced."

As the water bandit leader said, he jumped suddenly and jumped off the bow of the boat. The boat was still some distance away from the shore. The water bandit leader seemed to be very good at martial arts, and his leg muscles were also very developed. , The clothes didn't get half of the water, and they jumped to the shore in one fell swoop.

Seeing the water bandit leader rushing towards him, Zhao Jia subconsciously placed his uninjured hand on the sword at his waist, squinted his eyes, and gathered all his muscles, as if he was on guard.

Qihou was also in this state, but he held his breath a little more calmly than Zhao Jia. He didn't put on such an obvious defensive action, but raised his shoulders slightly. As long as the water bandit leader made an out-of-the-ordinary move, he would immediately draw his sword.

The leader of the water bandit jumped ashore, and this time everyone saw it more clearly. The leader of the water bandit was indeed in his early 20s, and he liked to laugh very much. He laughed like a big boy, with a bright and clear smile, and a clear and clear voice, but the ending sounded A touch of hoarseness.

The whole person is very tall, and few people see Qihou can still sit on an equal footing. This water bandit leader may be one of the few people. He was wearing a bunt jacket, with holes in the clothes, I don't know if it was scratched or torn, but there were patches on the clothes, if you didn't know it, you might think it was the most popular modern ripped clothes.

Because the young man has a very good figure, such shabby clothes don't look shabby on him. Instead, they set off his long legs and lean and strong waist. You can vaguely see the smooth muscles on his body. He looks like a pretty good trainer.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the water bandit leader laughed and said, "Don't worry, don't be so guarded, I'm here to drink!"

Wu Jiu smiled, cupped his hands and said: "Thanks to Mr. Meng Yan for not giving up, I have already prepared delicious food and wine, so shall I invite Mr. Yan to the table?"

The water bandit leader raised his hands, clasped his fists and said, "King Chu, you don't need to be called Mr. Mr. I am not Mr. Yanjiu at all. It just so happens that we have similar names."

What Yanjiu said is almost the same, it must be the pronunciation, dove is a bird, but Yanjiu's dove does not mean a bird, but his clan name.

He blatantly commented on the name of King Chu, Feng Shu immediately said: "Bold..."

Wu Jiu raised his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, Mr. Yan is a man of temperament, please sit down."

Yanjiu cupped her hands again, then sat down, looked at the delicious food and wine on the table, couldn't help laughing, and said to Wu Jiu: "Can my brothers also be seated?"

Wu Jiu said with a smile: "It's too far away to be a guest, of course it's okay, please go ahead."

The three people who followed also sat in the banquet, and suddenly laughed, as if they had never seen such delicious food and wine, all of them looked like wolves and tigers, and everyone who watched them frowned, no matter how they looked, they looked like " mob"……

Yanjiu seemed to be very ignorant of the rules, Wu Jiao asked him to sit down, and he sat down immediately. Before Wu Jiao sat down, everyone stared at Yanjiu, but Yanjiu didn't know it.

Wu Jiu just smiled and was about to sit next to him, but Qi Hou moved faster and got in between Wu Jiu and Yanjiu. Wu Jiu had no choice but to move a seat to the side.

Yanjiu is not too polite, it seems that she really came to drink and eat meat, the female wine came to pour wine and serve dishes, Yanjiu didn't even look at the beauty, and concentrated on drinking and eating meat, and the servants did the same, eating with oily faces.

Seeing that they were eating happily, Wu Jiu raised his glass with a smile and said, "Mr. Yan, I would like to respect you."

Yanjiu didn't refuse, just raised the wine glass, and immediately drank it. She seemed to think that the wine was very delicious, and she squinted her eyes and tried her best to savor it.

Seeing his movements, Wu Jiao smiled and said, "Mr. Yan is so light and simple to come to the banquet, so you are not afraid of any troubles at the banquet?"

Yanjiu laughed, not caring at all, and said: "I have lived here for 20 years, and no one has ever invited me to drink, no matter what kind of intentions, good intentions or bad intentions, it has never been done, after all, the rich and powerful do not want to see me , ordinary people can’t afford alcohol at home, so you, the king of Chu, are the first.”

Wu Jiu smiled, and Yanjiu continued: "I am addicted to alcohol, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, as long as you invite me to drink, I will definitely come. And you, the king of Chu, were the first to invite me to drink, This is of great significance, so no matter what the banquet is, I Yanjiu will go to the banquet."

Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Mr. Yan is indeed a man of temperament, no wonder he is loved by the people so much."

Yanjiu said: "I don't know if the people love you or not. I only know that your wine is really delicious, and you can never have enough."

Qihou sat between the two people, because the three people sat in a row, so the two people had to poke their heads a little over Qihou when they spoke, and Qihou's figure was like a "mountain", and the two people were separated by Qihou, and they actually said so energetic.

Qihou saw that Yanjiu was drinking almost one jar after another, and his heart was full of jealousy. You couldn't drink enough, because this wine was brewed by the lonely second brother himself. Treat this smiling one with such a good wine. Qi Hou has a lot of opinions on the oily-faced man.

Qihou usually drank this wine in small sips, for fear that he would drink it all up, but Yanjiu was fine, he drank it so happily.

Seeing that Yanjiu was drinking happily, Wu Jiu said with a smile, "I'm not going to lie to Mr. Yan, I invite Mr. Yan to drink, but I actually have a heartless invitation."

Yanjiu drank another glass of wine, then put down the glass and looked up at Wu Jiao.

Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Two days ago, Mr. Yan borrowed some of the tools used by our country of Chu to fight the Pu people. These tools are very important to our country of Chu, and we will use them to fight against the Pu people in the future. Without these tools, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for our Chu boat masters to win, so I would like to ask Mr. Yan to return the borrowed hooks."

When he said this, Yanjiu looked suspicious, and then said: "Oh, I remembered, those strange-shaped, very heavy hooks, I can only hold two big hooks in one hand?"

When he said this, everyone was amazed, Yanjiu might have been born with strange strength, no wonder he was so big, he could hold two hooks with one hand, and it took at least two people to lift the hook.

Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Exactly, of course, as a gift in return, I will prepare a hundred altars of fine wine and some food for Mr. Yan and your brothers."

As he said, he turned his head and glanced at Qu Zhong, and Qu Zhong immediately went to give orders, and soon the soldiers came over with some carts, and the carts were full of grain, one bag after another was full, and there were several more Cars are piled up with fine wine, one jar after another is piled high.

Wu Jiu's sincerity is not small, Yanjiu laughed when he heard it, then stood up, and walked slowly over, he drank so much wine in one breath, but he was not half drunk at all, but his eyeballs were a little red and bloodshot, which made him look more It is tall and terrifying, like a jackal.

Yanjiu walked over, didn't even look at the food, turned to look at the tall wine jars, smiled, reached out to pick up a jar, and then walked back quickly.

Yanjiu weighed the wine jar in his hand, and said with a smile: "I don't want food, wine, I only want this jar, your hook, I'll ask someone to return it tomorrow."

Wu Jiu was taken aback, and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Yan."

Yanjiu said: "You don't have to thank me. After all, the things belong to you, and the food we moved away was distributed to the refugees yesterday. I can't return it to you in full, but... Before tomorrow evening, just like those hooks, how many things I took from you, will I return them in full?"

Qihou frowned and said, "Didn't you already distribute it to the refugees?"

Research smiled and said, "That's true, but even if it's distributed to the refugees, I can still borrow some food from the Pu people."

As he spoke, he squinted and smiled, with a smirk all over his face, combined with his boyish youthfulness, he looked very pleasing.

Everyone was also surprised, this water bandit leader actually wanted to steal food from the Pu people?

But everyone thought about it again, Yanjiu and his water bandits entered and exited the Chu State, it was like entering a land without people, let alone stealing food from the Pu people, it was definitely easier.

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "How can I make Mr. Yan spend money?"

Yanjiu said frankly: "Why am I spending money? The Pu people are spending money if they want to spend money, but they have been looting for so long, so it's time for them to spend money."

Wu Jiu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Yan."

Yanjiu was very hearty. With a wave of his hand, he took a few sips from the wine jar, drenched his clothes, and stuck them on his smooth chest and abdominal muscles, almost clearly outlining Yanjiu's tall figure. Everyone felt very blind, and quickly lowered their heads.

Yanjiu didn't know it, and said with a smile: "You don't need to thank me, you, the king of Chu, are interesting, I like you."

As soon as he said that, everyone saw Qi Hou's face "boom!" It turned black in an instant, and became the color of the bottom of the pot.

However, the liking Yanjiu mentioned should not be in that respect. After all, Yanjiu looks carefree, and it should be a congenial liking.

But Qihou is a big jealousy, when he heard that Wu Jiu and Yanjiu had a very happy conversation, and what they said they liked, his heart suddenly became jealous. When Wu Jiao and Yanjiu were talking, Qihou was in the middle, and deliberately moved. Block two people.

Wu Jiu's neck was sore, but he couldn't see Yanjiu, and was blocked by Qi Hou, Qi Hou suddenly turned his head and stared at Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiu didn't know why, so he raised his eyebrows, thinking that Qi Hou had something to whisper to him, but Qi Hou suddenly came over, as if whispering, and said in his ear: "Second brother, keep staring at that kid, go back alone Make you look good."

Wu Jiu didn't understand what was going on for a moment, but he didn't have a chance to stare at "that kid", because Yanjiu was full of wine and food, and was going to take his brothers back.

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, won't you stay overnight?"

When Qihou heard that Wu Jiu asked him to stay overnight, he became even more jealous and panicked.

Yanjiu clasped her fists and said: "No, we have to rush back to the water village. Before tomorrow evening, we will definitely deliver the things to you, so let's go first. When I bring the lottery tomorrow, I will have a good night of drinking !"

Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Yan."

Yanjiu waved her hands, drank so much wine, her footsteps were still steady, she walked quickly to the water's edge, jumped onto the boat, and beckoned her brothers to punt the boat, and soon the boat was like a gust of wind, like a flying arrow, "Whoosh ——" He rushed out, and the wind was still favorable at this time, and the night wind was very strong, so the boat quickly hid in the night and disappeared.

Wu Jiu watched the boat get further and further away into the night, touched his chin, thoughtful, while he was thinking, Qi Hou had already quietly walked behind Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiu didn't hear the sound, but he felt his back suddenly heat up, turned his head quickly, and bumped into Qi Hou's arms, Qi Hou stretched out his arms, and hugged Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiao was taken aback, and said, "What are you doing?"

Qihou said: "Everyone has gone away, second brother, you still see, Gu is not happy, how do you think you will compensate Gu?"

Wu Jiu suddenly felt dizzy, and said, "I'm just thinking of getting down to business, you let go, so many people have seen it."

Qihou said in a coquettish tone, "I don't care."

Wu Jiu was really helpless, fortunately it was dark, others were busy arranging the banquet, Zhao Jia and the others were busy withdrawing their troops, so they didn't pay attention to them.

Qihou hugged him tightly, lowered his head, and whispered in Wu Jiu's ear, his voice was hoarse and sexy, with scalding heat, Wu Jiu's ears were going to be scalded, but at this time Qihou was very special. Seriously said: "Second brother, do you dislike being lonely and not young enough to be good-looking?"

Wu Jiu almost sprayed it out, this question is so funny, Wu Jiu couldn't help but want to laugh, Qihou really can't be said to be young, after all he is already in his early 30s, but Qihou is a nobleman, he is well maintained, In addition, he is very handsome by nature, does not look very old, and is a Lianjiazi, with a strong body, let alone his age.

I can barely say that I am young and beautiful. If it is in modern times, I would be a "little fresh meat". But when I say that I am young and good-looking, Wu Jiao feels that his face will be burnt. It didn't burn out, and the wildfire couldn't burn out, and the spring breeze blows again...

Seeing Wu Jiu laughing, Marquis Qi said, "Second brother, you are still laughing. After talking for a while, I will go back and teach you a lesson."

Wu Jiu had seen Qihou's physical strength before, so he begged for mercy, "I made a mistake, and I have already deeply reflected on myself."

Qihou said: "Then tell me, how did you reflect on yourself?"

Wu Jiu said very seriously: "Well... the widow shouldn't dislike you when you see you are old and decrepit, the widow... ah!"

Before Wu Jiu could finish speaking, Marquis Qi was already "angry", and even said that he was "old and decrepit", which clearly disliked him.

Qi Hou suddenly hugged Wu Jiao up, Wu Jiao was hugged horizontally, startled, stretched out his hand to push him, and said: "What are you doing, let me down quickly."

Qi Hou immediately said: "Don't let go, today Gu'er has to teach my second brother a lesson."

As Marquis Qi said, he lowered his head and gnawed on Wu Jiu's lips, Wu Jiao struggled to no avail, Qu Zhong didn't know what happened, seeing Qi Marquis hugging Wu Jiao, he quickly said: "Your Majesty is ill? Call the doctor again?"

Qu Zhong still didn't know about their relationship, Wu Jiu felt ashamed, pretended not to hear, and pretended to be dead in Qi Hou's arms, Qi Hou said: "Don't bother, the King of Chu is just a little drunk, just send him back to the tent."

Qu nodded his head, was very concerned, and asked someone to prepare hangover soup.

Wu Jiu didn't dare to drink too much to mess things up because he was hosting a banquet with the leader of the water bandits today. He was very sober at this moment, and he had no choice but to pretend to be drunk when he heard Qi Hou's remarks that he was so rotten.

Qihou carried him into the Xingyuan, Ziqing and Tangwu sensibly did not follow in, but guarded outside, and sure enough, there was a strange sound coming from inside.

After a while, Qu Zhong personally delivered the hangover soup. In order not to let Qu Zhong hear the strange voice inside, Ziqing quickly took the hangover soup, and then sent Qu Zhong away. Ziqing and Tang Wu breathed a sigh of relief...

Wu Jiu had nothing to do the next day, and slept until the sun was up. They obviously came to fight, but they won the first battle the first time, scaring the people of Pu and retreating south. , it is enough to buy time for Pan Chong on the battlefield in the west.

Therefore, the stalemate battle here has suddenly turned into an easy battle, all because of those hooks.

Wu Jiu slept until the sun was up, he was lazy, he blamed Qi Hou for being jealous, insisting on begging for mercy, thinking of the scene of begging for mercy yesterday, Wu Jiao wanted to find a place to sew it up, he was really ashamed to face others.

Wu Jiu opened his eyes, Qi Hou was still hugging him, he was already awake, and was quietly brushing his hair, seeing Wu Jiu woke up, he put his hair on his lips and kissed lightly, said with a smile: " Brother, are you awake?"

Wu Jiao hummed, and wanted to turn over, but because of his weakness, he almost fell on the couch. Qi Hou quickly stretched out his arms and said with a smile, "Second brother is not in good health, he needs to exercise more on weekdays."

Wu Jiu rolled his eyes and gave it to him, Qi Hou got up with a refreshed face, and then waited for Wu Jiu to wash and change his clothes.

After everyone had finished their lunch, Wu Jiao asked someone to prepare a dinner party. At dusk today, Yanjiu would return the hooks and food, so Wu Jiu would naturally prepare a dinner party for them as agreed.

In fact, Wu Jiu had a small plan in mind. These dinners are not free, and the wine he brews is not free. Now that Chu State is waiting for prosperity, there are not enough talents. Regardless of the size of the land, the court There are too many moths in the country, and there are no talents like Guan Yiwu and Bao Shuya who are as famous as Qi, so Wu Jiu is very "hungry" now and wants to recruit talents.

Although this Yanjiu is the leader of water bandits, he has never suffered a loss in wars with the Pu people, and he can easily win food from the Pu people.

Furthermore, Yanjiu has been a water bandit here for 20 years. He is familiar with the environment of Yunmeng and Dongting. If Yanjiu can be brought under his command, they will not only guard Yunmeng, but maybe they can also conquer Baipu .

Even the small boat that Yanjiu and the others used was very skillful, much faster than the other boats. For all these reasons, Wu Jiu wanted to subdue Yanjiu.

In fact, there is another important reason, and that is Yanjiu's identity. Yanjiu is the son of Shujiu Kingdom in Qunshu Kingdom, but because of the rebellion, he did not inherit the throne. If Wu Jiu can take him under his command, he will help him in the future Reset, in this way, Qun Shuguo, who always disobeys orders, can also be firmly held by Wu Jiu, why not do it?

It can be said that subduing Yanjiu has countless benefits, so Wu Jiu was willing to spend all his money and took out all the good wine in his collection.

It was quite busy after noon, so Wu Jiao asked Qu Zhong to welcome Yanjiu at the gate of Xingyuan to prepare a banquet.

When it was almost dusk, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou went back to change their clothes and prepare to attend the banquet later.

Qu Zhong was ordered to greet him at the gate of Xingyuan, and sure enough, he saw a group of people coming from afar, they were driving black carts, kicking up dust, and a large group of chariots and horses came towards this side in a "bone-like manner".

Seeing that it was Yanjiu himself who was driving the chariot, Qu Zhong hurried forward, bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Chu Guogong Zheng Qu Zhong, by the order of my king, is here to welcome Mr. Yan."

Yanjiu jumped out of the car, laughed, and said, "It's just right, you should check and count, there is a lot of big hooks, and there is only a lot of food."

Qu Zhong hurriedly sent someone to check, the soldiers were all dumbfounded, the food was indeed from the Pu people, the food had not been opened, and it had a seal on it, it was the military rations brought in by the Pu people.

Qu Zhong was also very surprised, this Yanjiu really had some skills, if he said a sneak attack, he would sneak attack, the Pu people lost so much military rations at once, they probably would have jumped over the wall.

Qu Zhong hurriedly said respectfully: "Mr. Yan has worked hard. Please invite Mr. Yan to enter the palace. My king has prepared a banquet to entertain Mr. Yan."

Yanjiu nodded, and followed Qu Zhong to the inside. Yanjiu looked around curiously while walking, and said with a smile: "Hey, your village is not bad, it's bigger than our water village."

When Qu Zhong heard this, he laughed, isn't that natural? Yanjiu is a water bandit, and this is a military camp, or the military camp where King Chu stayed. How can a Xingyuan and a water village be compared?

Yanjiu also said: "Tsk, but this village of yours is too serious, no way, our side has better scenery."

Qu Zhong smiled and said: "Hearing Mr. Yan's words, Zhong Zhong really wants to appreciate the scenery of Mr. Yan's water village."

Yanjiu smiled and said, "Why not? Come and see me some other day, and I will welcome you with good wine and good meat."

When Qu Zhong heard this, he was a little surprised. After all, no one knew the exact location of Yanjiu's water village, and it seemed very mysterious. If Yanjiu invited them as guests, wouldn't the exact location be exposed?

Qu Zhong glanced at Yanjiu suspiciously, and Yanjiu smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking. We can't enter our water village without knowing the exact location. There are swamps and shoals, and there are many hidden reefs. If you walk in, you will fall into the swamp, and if you go in by boat, you will run aground on the rocks. Therefore, even if the location of the water village is known, others will not be able to get in. I am very relieved. "

Qu nodded and said with a smile, "Mr. Yan, this way please."

The two walked forward and soon came to the empty field of Xingyuan. There was a bonfire on the empty field, and it was brightly lit. The banquet had already been set up, and the food and wine were much richer than yesterday.

When Wu Jiao saw Yanjiu, he immediately stood up to greet Yanjiu. Qu Zhong walked over and whispered something in his ear. It was to check the situation of the food and grain. I am naturally happy to hear it.

Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Yan is a man of trustworthiness. I admire him. Come, Mr. Yan, please be seated!"

Yanjiu was not too polite, and sat down at the banquet first, and immediately drank a glass of wine, feeling refreshed immediately.

Although Wu Jiu wanted to subdue Yanjiu, he couldn't open his mouth right away. After all, the water bandits were wary. They were rebels, and they were suddenly going to be part of the national army. If you restrain yourself, you may not be convinced.

Although there is no rush, Wu Jiu feels that there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by a few meals. If there is, then eat a few more meals. Qihou is a good example.

Wu Jiu made a toast to Yanjiu with a smile on his face. Last night, Yanjiu left in a hurry because he was going to steal food. He didn't drink enough to enjoy himself. Naturally, he wanted to drink enough today, and many brothers followed him. In an instant, Xingyuan was extremely lively, filled with the sound of toasting and laughing.

Qihou felt like he had fallen into a toad pit, and his brain hurt from laughing, these water bandits were too informal.

Wu Jiu didn't mind at all, seeing Qihou frowned with disgust on his face, he leaned over and whispered, "I made steamed mutton buns, after a while, I'll have someone bring them to the tent."

When Qi Hou heard it, he immediately smiled, and there was nothing that a meal could not solve. When Qi Hou heard the words "mutton steamed bun", he became happy, and he looked like a big dog, wishing to stick out his tongue.

Everyone drank to their heart's content, Yanjiu didn't pour a thousand cups, because she drank too much today, she was a little drunk, her face was not red, but her eyes were red.

When Yanjiu was drinking, he felt that someone was always looking at him, and when he raised his head, that person would look away, but after many times, Yanjiu still found out that it was Gongzheng who came to greet him, what is he called Qu? , Yanjiu can't remember.

Yanjiu raised her head, holding the wine glass in her hand, she couldn't be watched all the time, she also raised her head to look at Qu Zhong, who was sitting opposite to him, with the actor playing with silk and bamboo in between.

Yanjiu took advantage of the appearance of watching the performance, and stared at Qu Zhong closely.

Qu Zhong is about 40 years old. He is not young. When he smiles, there are some wrinkles around his mouth. When he smiles, he feels very gentle. He is polite and polite on weekdays. This kind of person can be friends with everyone.

Although Qu Zhong is not young, but his appearance is exquisite and good-looking, with a solemn temperament, indescribably calm and breezy, which makes people look very comfortable.

Yanjiu kept looking at Qu Zhong, Qu Zhong hurriedly lowered his head, pretending not to see.

It was late at night, and everyone had had enough to drink, and they were ready to leave the banquet. Wu Jiao asked Qu Zhong to arrange a camp for everyone. Qu Zhong hurriedly handed him over. He didn't drink much, and he was very sober. That's when it came in handy.

Qu Zhong arranged several camps for them, and Yanjiu, the leader of the water bandits, naturally wanted to have a tent for each of them. Qu Zhong led him to the camp and said, "If Mr. Yan has anything to do, just call the eunuch who is watching the night." That's it."

As Qu Zhong said, he opened the curtain for Yanjiu and invited Yanjiu to come in. After Yanjiu came in, he fell directly on the couch, stretched all over, as if he was going to sleep, Qu Zhong went over and lit the lamp, saying: "Hot! The soup is ready, let someone carry it in."

Yanjiu didn't speak, seemed to be asleep, Qu Zhong went out and asked the eunuch to bring in the hot soup, the hot soup curled up into smoke, and suddenly a warm breath surged in the tent in autumn.

Yanjiu seemed to wake up just now, opened his eyes, Qu Zhong was still busy, brought the hangover soup from the eunuch's hand, put it on the case aside, and said: "Mr. Yan, I put the hangover soup here for you too." Already, drink hangover soup before going to sleep, so as not to suffer from a hangover and headache tomorrow."

After Qu Zhong finished speaking, Yanjiu didn't speak, lying on his side on the couch, fixed his eyes on Qu Zhong, Qu Zhong didn't know what he meant, smiled, and said politely: "Then don't disturb Mr. Yan's rest, I will take my leave first .”

He said that he was about to leave, but Yanjiu spoke suddenly, and said in a hoarse voice: "I think you look familiar."

When he said this, Qu Zhong trembled violently, his steps of retreating stopped, he coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "I saw you when you were young, and I hugged you, and you were only five years old at that time." age."

Because Yanjiu was very drunk, Qu Zhong was relieved to speak. When he said this suddenly, Yanjiu turned over and looked at Qu Zhong with red eyes, and said, "You know me? Or when I was a child? "

Qu Zhong lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at Yanjiu, but nodded.

Yanjiu stood up quickly, walked over, grabbed Qu Zhong's hand, and pulled him over. The two of them sat on the mat, and Yanjiu said: "I don't even remember what happened when I was young. I'll talk."

Qu Zhong seemed to be a bit hesitant, even Wu Jiu didn't know about this matter, Qu Zhong just told Wu Jiu that he had found out that the leader of the water bandits was actually the son of the monarch of Shujiu. So reduced to a water bandit.

In fact, Qu Zhong had some reservations and didn't say anything...

At that time, Qu Zhong was 20 years old, and he showed his sharpness. Qu Zhong is very hostile, very sharp, and wants to squeeze into a high position, make contributions, and make a name for himself.

At that time, Qu Zhong's relatives were doctors in the Shujiu Kingdom. There was a rebellion in the Shujiu Kingdom, and someone usurped the throne. The state of Chu is already very important, please ask Qu Zhong to keep the young master of the state of Shujiu.

After Qu Zhong's relatives sent this secret letter, they were caught by the usurper and chopped into meat.

When Qu Zhong saw this letter, he was very angry. He felt that the people of Shujiu Kingdom were bullying them. Although the relative was a branch of the Qu family, not the main family, Qu Zhong, as the heir of the main family, should be Taking care of the side branch, coupled with the fact that Qu Zhong was young and energetic at the time, couldn't swallow this breath, so he was going to protect Shujiu's little son.

However, Qu Zhong was in a high position at that time, and it was the time to strive to climb up. How could he leave the capital of Chu State?Leaving the capital means staying away from the king, so how can he stand out from the crowd?

Qu Zhong was very distressed, and at this time, it happened that the king of Chu wanted to send someone out on business, and he happened to go to the southeast of the country. , when the young master was hunted down, he finally found the young master.

At that time, it could be said to be at a critical moment. The young master was only five years old, and he was not as big as the young son. He was a poor little meat bun. He fled outside alone, and all his followers were killed. The young master was very scared. Catch it, those traitors from the Shujiu Kingdom wanted to torture him, they cut the young master bit by bit with their sword blades like a piece of meat.

When Qu Zhong saw the young master, he happened to see this scene. They pressed a child, cut his back with a sword, and laughed heartily, watching the blood flow profusely, listening to the child's screams The sound, the cry, the constant laughter.

Qu Zhong was mad at that time, and immediately ordered people to save the young master, those Shujiu people were outnumbered by their numbers, and quickly ran away, Qu Zhong rescued the young master.

Listening to him, Yanjiu didn't have this impression at all. After all, he was too young at that time, or maybe it was because of his own reasons. Yanjiu only remembered the general idea of ​​those escapes when he was a child, and didn't remember the specific events. After all, it is too exciting for a child, and people will always avoid some unpleasant memories.

Yanjiu said, "I do have a scar on my back."

Qu Zhong also found out that there was indeed a scar. Although it happened 20 years ago, Yanjiu's wound was deep at that time, so the scar was left. With the growth of age, the scar has become shallower, but also gradually As he grew older, it seemed more pronounced.
