Chapter 2 Qihou

The majestic Qi Palace, with high walls and large tiles, mountain knots, and Danying carvings, but in such a majestic Qi Palace, reveals a kind of vicissitudes of decline, the strong wind rolled up the residual snow on the ground, and flew to the sky .

Next to the most luxurious palace of the Marquis of Qi, an ugly earthen wall is built. The high wall surrounds the palace, making the palace airtight. The high wall seems to be a prison, and there are tiger and ben soldiers guarding it strictly beside it. .

A palace lady in pink clothes looked around, her appearance was very secretive, she sneaked around the ugly high wall of soil cultivation, came to the back of the high wall, and quickly stretched out her hands a few times. Small hole in the dog hole.

The small hole was very small, and the maid was slender enough to crawl through it, and it was still a bit difficult. The maid quickly used her hands and feet to get in through the dog hole. After getting in, she quickly blocked the hole, stretched out her hand and pressed her chest, as if It was as if she was shocking herself, but the area on her chest was a little bulging, and she should have put something there to make sure nothing would go wrong.

The maid climbed in, quickly got up with hands and feet, and rushed in quickly. Qihou's bedroom was empty, and there were dead leaves and snow everywhere.

The maid rushed forward quickly, but she fell on the way, and a big pancake fell out of her arms. It fell to the ground with a "pop!" and splashed a handful of dirty snow. The maid hurriedly picked up the pancake from the snow, Before she had time to dust it clean, she got up and ran, "Bang!!", the maid rushed into a dark hall in an instant.

The main hall was groggy, with no sunlight, it was empty and there was nothing there, and there was an unpleasant damp smell.

The maid ran in and saw a bulge on the couch, lying on an old man with white hair, motionless.

The palace lady ran over quickly, the old man moved, only slightly, his voice was gritty like a file, and he kept coughing as soon as he opened his mouth, and said, "Who is it?"

The palace maid rushed over, "Boom!" Kneeling in a corner, tears streaming down her face in an instant, she cried, "Your Majesty, it's Yan'e, your servant! Your Majesty!"

The maid was sobbing as she spoke, but the old man lying on the couch, his face covered with mud and his clothes worn out, was only covered with a thin quilt in the cold winter, his face turned a terrible red, he must have a fever, but no one paid any attention to it.

And such an old man is indeed Qihou Xiaobai, the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons!

Qi Hou was lying on the bed, his eyes could hardly be opened, and he said, "Where is the eunuch? I am thirsty, why no one brings water?"

Hearing what he said, the palace lady cried even more out of breath, and said, "Your Majesty! The eunuchs Diao and Yi Ya are making trouble outside, sealing off the Qi Palace, and preventing the doctors from coming to see Your Majesty! They want to live Starved to death from thirst, Junshang! Gao Zi was so helpless that he sent his maid to sneak in through the dog hole to see Junshang!"

As she spoke, she quickly took out a dirty pancake from her bosom. The pancake was very rough and covered with dirty snow. At this time, the snow had already flowered and turned into a gray-black mud soup. The maid Yan'e took it When he came out, he immediately wiped the pancake with his sleeve, and hurriedly handed it to Qihou, saying: "Your Majesty, please eat some, take care of your sick body, and plan a great plan!"

Qihou didn't take the big cake, but his expression was very calm, he closed his eyes and asked, "Where's the lonely son?"

When Yan E heard this, he hesitated, but still replied: "Young masters... are competing to plan big plans."

When Qihou heard it, he understood everything in an instant, and planned a big plan, wasn't that just trying to inherit Qihou's position?

Thinking about how he was so powerful back then, when he fought for hegemony over all the countries, even the emperor of Zhou would look at his face, sitting on countless beauties and fine wine, but now, if he is in trouble, even his own sons will ignore him.

After hearing this, Qi Hou just smiled, and finally opened his eyes, with some sadness in his eyes, and said: "Master Guan, it's a mistake to use a villain wrongly, as it should be!"

When Yan'e heard this, she couldn't help but shed tears, covered her mouth and cried, and heard Qi Hou say again: "Yan'e, bring the candle."

Yan'e didn't understand what this meant, but she quickly lit the candlestick, clutching the large candle flame, and quickly proceeded, kneeling in front of Qihou.

A laugh like grains of sand came out of Qihou's throat, and he said, "Yan'e, you go now."

Yan'e didn't know what Qihou was going to do, but she didn't dare to disobey Qihou's will, stood up and looked back, put the big cake in front of Qihou's bed, hurriedly ran out of the bedroom and crawled out of the dog hole.

Qihou looked at the candlestick on the couch, chuckled lightly, and said, "God punished me, I deserve this great humiliation..."

As he spoke, his vicissitudes of eyes narrowed, with a ruthless look flashing in his eyes, and he said word by word: "If there is an afterlife, you must pay it back one by one!"

As soon as his voice fell, there was a sound of "pop!", and the candlestick was instantly moved, and fell on the thin quilt, only to hear a sound of "hissing--", the fire snake spread, became more and more intense, and finally rose into the sky.

A big fire ignited in the ugly clay wall. Because the wall was high, no one knew about it. Until the fire burst out of the high wall, the palace personnel shouted in fright to put out the fire, but it was too late.

The elderly Jian Guo Gaozi rushed to the palace when he heard the news. Seeing the fire that filled the sky, he burst into tears and fell to the ground, shouting: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!

If there is an afterlife...

Must be...

Repay one by one...

In the bedroom of the Qi Palace, a young man was lying on a luxurious soft couch, wearing a black jade crown on his head, wearing a white silk underwear, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, the medical officer was kneeling on one side, surrounded by several middle-aged men Next to him, he kept pacing, looking very anxious.

"cough……"

Hearing a rapid cough, the young man on the couch woke up suddenly, coughed violently, and suddenly sat up from the couch.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is awake!"

The two middle-aged men next to him quickly stepped forward, helped the young man who was sitting up, and said in surprise, "Your Majesty! Are you awake?"

Qihou squinted his eyes and stared at the person in front of him. Just now he was surrounded by fire. The widow of Qi, the mighty overlord of a great country, how could he be tortured to death by eunuchs? When surrounded by fire, he thought of relief. Also full of resentment.

I didn't know that I could still open my eyes, but after I opened my eyes, I found that everything was a little different. The two middle-aged men in front of me, about 40 to [-] years old, with hair not yet gray, were the heroes back then.

Qi Hou squinted his eyes, and said hesitantly, "Master Shu Ya...Gao Zi?"

The two men in the middle "boom!" knelt down in unison, and sighed, "Qi Hou finally woke up! God has mercy, God has mercy!"

Qi Hou looked at the young Bao Shuya and Gao Xi, and couldn't help frowning. Gao Xi said: "Your Majesty, although you have just woken up from a serious illness, you have just ascended the throne, and state affairs must be announced by you. Please, Your Majesty, send troops to crusade against the State of Lu, Young Master Jiu will not die for a day, the position of your Majesty will not be stable for a day!"

Hearing Gao Xi's words, Qi Hou felt a sense of overwhelming emotion in his heart, and his blood almost rushed to his head. It was really God's mercy to let him start again. He knew it when he heard the name of Young Master Jiu. One year ago, I had just succeeded to the throne and became Marquis of Qi, so it was not too late...

……

Guan Zhong, Zhao Hu, Bao Shuya, Gao Zi Gao Xi, Guo Zi Guo Yizhong...

Wu Jiu suddenly heard a lot of familiar names in history. The most important thing is that there is another historical overlord, that is the son Xiaobai, Duke Huan of Qi who is known as the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons in history.

Wu Jiu calmly clarified his current situation repeatedly during the time when the young man asked someone to invite Master Guan and Master Zhao.

Wu Jiu is still called "Jiu" now, but his surname is no longer Wu. Wu Jiu's identity at this moment is Jiu, the second son of Duke Xi of Qi State. His surname is Jiang, Lu's, and his first name is Jiu. Respectfully address him as Gongzi Jiu, if he is directly called by his name, according to the rules of the Spring and Autumn Period, especially for aristocratic men, they should be called Lu Jiu by their surname instead of their surname.

Counting it, Wu Jiu should have a younger brother who is not a few years younger than him, and this younger brother is the famous Duke Huan of Qi, the Five Overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Although Wu Jiu didn't study literature and had graduated for many years, he still knew the story of Young Master Xiaobai and Young Master Jiu vying for the top spot.

Duke Qi Xi's eldest son, Zhu'er, after succeeding to the throne, committed adultery and incest with his own sister, and had his brother-in-law Duke Lu's ribs broken. He was extremely dissatisfied, and Qi Xigong's nephew, Gongsun Wuzhi, took the opportunity to overstep. Xiaobai and Jiu, who had no power at the time, were escorted by their masters Bao Shuya and Guan Zhong to escape from Qi State and took refuge separately.

Less than a year after Gongsun Wuzhi succeeded to the throne, he was beheaded by the people of Yonglin with a sword. Since then, Qi State has no monarch, and the country is in chaos.

After that, there is a story that many elementary school students know. Gao Zi Guozi, the supervisor of the state of Qi, prefers his son Xiaobai to succeed to the throne, and secretly sends news of his son Xiaobai, so that he can rush back to Qi State as soon as possible. .

At the same time, Guan Zhong, who was in the State of Lu, also inquired about the news that there was no king in Qi State, and escorted Young Master Jiu back to the country. He broke his tongue, pretended to vomit blood, and fell headfirst from the cart. Guan Zhongxin thought it was true, and returned to Lu for his order.

The State of Lu originally thought that Young Master Jiu could inherit the throne of Qi State, but he did not expect that when he escorted Young Master Jiu to the entrance of Linzi city, he was rejected. .

Listening to the boy's cries, Wu Jiu understood the current situation to some extent. The current situation is that Young Master Jiu was refused to enter the city, so angry that he vomited blood and passed out. General Lu brought him back to the country. Taking advantage of the fact that young master Xiaobai has not established a firm foothold in the court, he must attack on a large scale and support young master Jiu to return to the country to succeed him.

Hearing this, Wu Jiu leaned on his chest and said with a weak breath, "Did Lu Gong send troops?"

That boy was Wu Jiu's boy, who served Wu Jiu personally, and these days after he escaped, he was served by him alone. He looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and his name was Ziqing.

After listening to Wu Jiu's words, Ziqing wiped away tears and said, "My lord, you have been in a coma for a long time, and Duke Lu didn't just send troops, I'm afraid they will meet each other at this time!"

Wu Jiu gave a "thud" in his heart, thinking that it was not good. After Qi Hou came to power, he had indeed fought a battle with Lu State in Shishui, but the result of this battle was that Lu State was completely defeated. Gao Xi, the supervisor of Qi State, came in person The front line commanded the army, and the Qi army was like a broken bamboo.

And the ending of Lu's disastrous defeat can be imagined, that is, to kill Gongzi Jiu and hand over Guan Zhong.

Wu Jiu didn't expect that after being killed by his father, he didn't know if God had pity on him, and he would get a chance to be born again, but when he opened his eyes, he would face the limit of life and death again.

Wu Jiu did the math, if he followed the historical deduction, his life would probably last a good month.

Ziqing added: "Furthermore, Guozi Gao and the others, in order to prevent you from returning to the country to take the throne, they even threatened that the son is not from the blood of Qi, but from Princess Lu and others."

When Wu Jiu heard this, it wasn't very clear, but when he thought about it carefully, there was actually such a possibility. When Qi Xigong was alive, he didn't want to see Young Master Jiu, not only Qi Xigong, but even the people of Qi State didn't want to see Qi Xi Gong, the mother who hates the son Jiu very much, thinks she is a lascivious woman, and Gao Zi and Guo Zi, who are the supervisors of the state of Qi, unanimously choose the son Xiaobai who has no background as the Marquis of Qi. There is indeed some incomprehensibility The reasons are in there, but history says nothing.

If Young Master Jiu is really the child of Lu Nv and someone else, then it is not the Jiang surname of Qi State, and Gao Zi and Guo Zi will naturally support Young Master Xiaobai.

At this moment, the sudden sound of "Tap Tat Tat" came quickly, and two people walked in quickly. The leader was dressed in a light blue robe, very upright, with a wisp of beard, looking quite fairy The person behind him is dressed in a white robe, almost as old as Wu Jiu, with a white jade crown on his head, looks very refined, but his star eyes are very energetic, judging from his walking posture, he is still a practitioner son.

When Ziqing saw two people, he immediately stood up and shouted, "Master Guan! Master Zhao! Both of you are here!"

The older one walking in the front was the famous Guan Yiwu, who was Wu Jiu’s master at this time, while the one walking behind, compared to Guan Yiwu, seemed to be a man who had never heard of his name. The young man was tall and straight, with a handsome face, But the movements are crisp and neat, which is what Ziqing called Master Zhao——Zhaohu.

Don't look at Zhaohu as young, but Zhaohu is also the master of Gong Zijiu, and he has learned a lot. He and Guan Zhong have a literary and martial arts.

After Prince Jiu was executed, Zhao Hu was out of breath and committed suicide, fulfilling his loyalty to the emperor.

When two people came in, Zhao Hu was the first to lose his composure and said, "Young Master, Duke Lu's army has been defeated!"

When Wu Jiu heard this, his heart was calm, and he didn't even have the slightest bit of anxiety. This was expected, and there was no need to be surprised. After all, Duke Lu was facing the famous Gao Xi, and standing behind Gao Xi was the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons. The leader of the unworldly hero.

Wu Jiu's face remained motionless, he just leaned on the couch, covered his lips with white silk, and coughed lightly, seeing that he didn't have any expression, Zhao Hu immediately said in surprise, "Master?"

Guan Yiwu looked at Wu Jiu's expression, and felt a little strange in his heart. He always felt that after the young master woke up, he became more calm than before. Young master Jiu is very smart. When Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya assisted the young master, they both chose The most important one is Young Master Jiu, because there is no one to serve Young Master Xiaobai, so Duke Xi ordered Bao Shuya to serve Young Master Xiaobai, which shows that Young Master Jiu is very intelligent and intelligent.

But Guan Yiwu has been the master of Young Master Jiu for so many years, and he knows that Young Master Jiu has an irritable temperament. Although he is smart, he always misses important things.

Now the young master is sitting in front of him, his face is pale, but he doesn't show any signs of agitation. The enemy is approaching, and he doesn't even change his face.

Guan Yiwu squinted his eyes, and Wu Jiao coughed again, and said weakly, "Masters, who is the person who is commanding the Qi army this time?"

Zhao Hu answered first, "It's Gao Xi!"

Wu Jiu nodded, as if he was expecting it, completely in line with history, then Guan Yiwu suddenly said: "Gao Xi commanded the army, and son Xiaobai personally supervised the army."

When he said this, Wu Jiu finally showed a little surprise, and then regained his composure. The matter of Gao Xi commanding the army was clearly written in history, but at this moment, Qihou Xiaobai was actually in charge of the army. ?This is not written in history.

After all, their elder brother Zhu'er and cousin Gongsun Wuzhi were all assassinated by a sword when they left the capital for hunting. Qi Hou had just ascended the throne, but he left Linzi City and went to the handover between Qi and Lu When will the water come to supervise the battle?

What does it mean?

Wu Jiu felt a little strange in his heart, and at the same time, a hope of survival sprouted in his heart.

Wu Jiu's heart skipped a beat. If Marquis Qi had come in person, then he seemed to have a little chance of surviving. If the shrewd Gao Xi held the power alone, Wu Jiu would not be sure. At this moment, Wu Jiu already had a solution in his mind.

Wu Jiu rolled his eyes slightly, then narrowed his eyes, he didn't know what he was thinking, the others were extremely anxious, the little boy Qing was about to cry again, Zhao Hu also clenched his sword tightly tightly.

Only Guan Yiwu remained calm and looked at Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiu chuckled lightly and said, "Master Guan, if you have something to say, please speak up."

Guan Yiwu pondered softly, and said: "Young Master, when Gao Xi came here, he handed a letter to Lu Gong. I have a copy here. Now that Lu Gong is defeated, he may reconsider the content of the letter."

Wu Jiu said, "Oh? Where's the letter?"

Guan Yiwu took out a roll of white silk from his sleeve, and Zhao Hu snatched it with his eyes wide open, as if he didn't want to show it to Wu Jiu, who smiled and said, "Master Zhao, but it's okay to see it."

Zhao Hu looked tangled, and finally handed the white silk to Wu Jiao with a ruthless expression. Wu Jiao unrolled it, and felt a headache for a moment. After all, he didn't know the words on it, and the words at this time were not in traditional Chinese. Simple.

Wu Jiu remained calm, handed the letter to Guan Yiwu, and said, "Master Guan will read it for me."

Guan Yiwu took the white thread respectfully, unfolded it, and there were blood characters on it, the white thread was red blood, very glaring.

Guan Yiwu's voice was not loud, and he read out word by word. The whole letter was very long, and it was written by Gao Xi.

The letter stated that the widow of the state of Qi meant that the son Jiu and the widow were brothers, and the widow couldn't bear to kill the son, so he asked Lu Gong to kill the son. The widow asked Duke Lu to hand over these two criminals, and let the widow take them back to Qi, dismember their corpses into thousands of pieces, and chop them into meat paste.

Zhao Hu immediately said: "How unreasonable!"

When Wu Jiu heard this, he frowned silently. The content of the letter seemed to be somewhat different from history. In history, it was only mentioned that Marquis Qi appreciated Guan Yiwu's talent, and that he wanted to let the Lu public transport pass Guan Yiwu, but Zhaohu was not mentioned. In this letter, Zhao Hu was also mentioned.

Wu Jiu was silent for a while, his voice was still weak, but he was very determined, with an unquestionable majesty, and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient, help me prepare three things, I want to see Marquis Qi before the battle."
