Chapter 28
Qihou didn't know if he was interested, anyway, he suddenly wanted to take a bath in this remote mountain ditch, what good place could there be for bathing in this place?It must have not been boiled and washed clean.
However, once Qihou's words came out, no one dared to refute them. Emperors and nobles are like this. When their two mouths touch, no matter whether it is the moon or the stars in the sky, as long as they want it, the people below will definitely work hard for them.
Not to mention just a little bath?
Qihou went out of the room first, and as soon as he went out, Gongsun Xipeng quickly ordered the eunuch to prepare things and clothes for bathing, because Gongzi Yuan was assigned to another room, so he could relax without being with Qihou. Immediately, he glanced at Wu Jiu with disdain, then walked out unsteadily, and went back to his room.
As soon as Gongsun Xipeng and Gongzi Yuan left, Zhaohu suddenly let out a "ho--" and put his hands on the table, almost falling to the ground. Dong Guoya, who was next to him, moved quickly and caught Zhao Suddenly, he said, "Young bastard?!"
Wu Jiu was also taken aback, he didn't know Zhao Hu's thoughts, although Wu Jiu was transparent, he had never been in a relationship, and he had never had a feeling for anyone, and he subconsciously felt that if he fell in love, , must be looking for a cute woman, not a man, so naturally I didn't think about that.
Because of these, Wu Jiu didn't know what was going on with Zhao Hu at all, and he lay down on the table sweating profusely as if he was about to lose his strength.
Wu Jiu hurried over and said, "Master Zhao?"
Zhao Hu waved his hand, his face was a little pale, his heart was still beating wildly, almost lost his voice, more than that, Zhao Hu recalled the gaze of Marquis Qi just now, that kind of clear gaze, felt his whole body trembling To be paralyzed, as if bitten by a poisonous snake, this feeling is not exaggerated at all...
Zhao Hu was panting, and didn't dare to go to see Wu Jiu, Dong Guoya quickly said: "Your Excellency, let's hurry up and prepare for your lord's bathing, the concubine may be unacceptable, Dong Guo can just take care of the concubine."
Wu Jiu looked at Zhao Hu worriedly, nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Please trouble Master Dong Guo."
Dong Guoya also cupped his hands, Wu Jiao glanced at Zhaohu, and hurried out of the room.
As soon as Wu Jiu walked out, Zhao Hu heaved a sigh of relief, while Dong Guo Ya sighed and said, "Is there nothing wrong with Zhong Shuzi?"
Zhao Hu raised his head in a daze, and said, "Qihou...couldn't he really see it?"
Seeing Zhaohu, Dong Guoya turned pale, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "You don't need to worry about the concubine. If you say you can see it, I'm afraid you didn't. But the emperor is obviously testing the concubine Zhong. From now on, the concubine Zhong It is only serious to be careful in the end."
Zhao Hu wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Let's talk about it after tonight!"
Tonight, Zhaohu wants to share a room with Wu Jiu and Qihou, and he doesn't know how Qihou will test him...
Qihou walked out of the room, stood on the high ground outside the farmhouse, looked at the surrounding scenery, the evening sun almost receded gradually, leaving only a sliver of afterglow, the surroundings were dark, and the bright moonlight climbed up, here There was a heavy rain just before, and the land was muddy, washing the night sky extremely clear.
Qihou stood alone with his hands behind his back, and soon Wu Jiu followed, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are ready, please move forward."
Qi Hou turned around and smiled, and said, "Second Brother Lao is here."
As he spoke, he gestured to invite, and said, "Second brother invites too."
Wu Jiu lowered his head, and said dutifully, "Don't dare, please, Your Majesty."
Qihou didn't refuse any more, and walked out first, towards the back of the farmhouse and the lake at the foot of the mountain.
It is a small lake. The mountain people do not draw water from this lake for drinking and cooking, but from the stream flowing in front of the village. This lake is actually the water used by the village women to wash their clothes.
But the lake water is very cool, because it is not stagnant water, there is a clear spring that creates the momentum of a small waterfall, flowing down from the mountain, just pouring into this lake, making the lake water flow.
It is midsummer now, when the water is abundant, and the spring and waterfall are also extremely abundant. Before entering, I heard the sound of "crashing" water flow. Although it is not majestic and majestic, it has the appearance of a water town, soft and beautiful.
Marquis Qi walked over, Wu Jiu followed behind, and behind him there were eunuchs and maids holding clothes. Since Marquis Qi’s identity could not be exposed, after everyone walked over, the eunuchs and maids put down their things and all retreated By the lake, there are only two people left, Qi Hou and Wu Jiu.
Gongsun Xipeng led a group of tiger and ben troops to garrison around to ensure the safety of the two.
Qihou stood still by the lake, stretched out his hand to test the water temperature, the summer here is hot and humid, the lake is cool, but not piercing, just to relieve the heat, Qihou couldn't help chuckling and said: "Second brother Do you want to take a bath too?"
Wu Jiao was taken aback, but said respectfully on his face, "Jiao dare not."
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother is being polite again."
Although he said so, he didn't invite Wu Jiu again. Qihou really wanted to take a bath. After all, he rode a horse and followed a car all the way. The sun was so hot that he was sweating all over his body, so it's not as good as Wu Jiu It's comfortable sitting in a black car.
Qihou is also a person who loves cleanliness. His body is sticky and sticky. He wanted to take a bath and change his clothes a long time ago. Standing by the lake, he did not shy away from it or be ashamed. He took off his black belt and threw it aside.
Wu Jiao quickly reached out to catch it, the belt was a two-finger-wide black jade buckle, if thrown directly on the ground, it would surely shatter, he caught it in his hand, folded it and put it aside.
Just when Wu Jiao had finished folding his belt, Qi Hou had already rustled naked. When Wu Jiao turned his head again, he happened to see Qi Hou walking into the lake. Wu Jiao was startled, and hurriedly Turning back to avoid danger, he picked up the clothes on the ground and folded them carefully, and put them together with the belt.
Wu Jiu didn't dare to raise his head. He was almost startled at that moment just now. In fact, it was not the first time that Marquis Qi had exposed himself like this. On the way to Ju, Marquis Qi also bathed in the tent, and the vertical and horizontal flow was smooth. His muscles are indeed enviable. Wu Jiao looked at his thin arms, wondering when he could train them to look like that?
After Wu folded his clothes, he heard Qi Hou who was taking a bath chuckle and said, "Second brother is so gentle and caring, any girl who is married to second brother must be lucky."
Wu Jiu listened to Qi Hou's teasing, and he just thought in his heart that Qi Hou was used to being served by others, so he didn't think about such trivial matters. In his previous life, he lived alone and had no one to rely on, so naturally he would worry about these trivial matters. After a long time, it will all be done.
Wu Jiao had no expression on his face, he didn't like recalling his previous life, Wu Jiao felt that since God gave him a brand new life, he should forget all of his previous life, after all, nothing is happy, but Wu Jiao's thoughts were too narrow, And heavy, always involuntarily think of the past that is not worth remembering.
Wu Jiu just said flatly: "Your Majesty made fun of me."
Although Qi Hou didn't worry about these trifles, he was also a person with a heavy heart. Wu Jiu's expression was always calm, and suddenly there was some indifferent silence, which made Qi Hou keenly aware of it immediately.
Although Qihou knew that his second brother's personality had suddenly become calm and prudent in the past few months, Qihou couldn't imagine that his second brother was actually not the second brother he knew.
Wu Jiu fell silent suddenly, and Qi Hou thought of Chazili.
Standing in the lake, Qihou slowly walked a few steps towards Wu Jiu, with a "crash", he stretched out his hand to lift up all the wet hair, and wiped his cheek with a wide palm, "Shut!" Throwing all the beads down, squinting at Wu Jiao, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but not too strong, he said in a low voice: "Second brother, still can't forget that woman?"
Wu Jiu was still immersed in the sorrow of his previous life, after all he had only sorrow in his previous life, at this moment, Qi Hou suddenly threw him a bomb.
"Boom!" With a sound, Wu Jiu's head almost exploded.
Can't forget that woman?
What woman?
Doesn't Wu Jiu know that Young Master Jiu is still a seed of infatuation?
Wu Jiu thought carefully about Gongzi Jiu in history, because he died in his thirties, so there are very few records about him, and there are basically no records.
Speaking of which, Young Master Jiu and Qi Hou are not the same mother, in fact they are not much older than Qi Hou, Qi Hou has three sons now, and after all, Young Master Jiu should have sons and daughters, but after Wu Jiu woke up, he I didn't realize that I didn't have any relatives, let alone a son or daughter, not even a wife and concubine.
Wu Jiu was indeed puzzled, but he was relieved not to have a wife and concubine, and he didn't need to deal with those anymore, so Wu Jiu didn't think about it again.
Now hearing Qihou suddenly throwing a big bomb, Wu Jiao was almost stunned. He has no memories of the past, and Wu Jiao is now relying on his own half-knowledge of history, as well as his own caution. .
Wu Jiu really didn't know anything about the woman Qihou mentioned.
Wu Jiu didn't expect that Young Master Jiu was still a passionate seed. He had an affair with Mi Ji before, and now he is still in love with a mysterious woman?
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes quickly, what kind of woman is it?There are very few records about women in this era, and Wu Jiu couldn't think of any woman who had a relationship with Gongzi Jiu.
Wu Jiao didn't speak, his eyes rolled quickly, but Qi Hou regarded him as admitting it, laughed, and said, "I didn't expect that second brother is really so infatuated."
Wu Jiu didn't dare to speak, because he couldn't imagine it in his mind at all, and he was afraid of revealing himself, so he lowered his head and pretended to be silent.
Qihou glanced at Wu Jiao, he didn't know that Wu Jiao was just pretending to be silent because of guilty conscience, and thought that Wu Jiao was immersed in memories, but the fleeting blankness in Wu Jiao's eyes made him see it as a kind of ignorance afterwards. A heart like still water is lost.
Qi Hou misunderstood in an instant, chuckled, and looked at Wu Jiu with a look of disdain. After all, Qi Hou had suffered such a disaster in his previous life, and he had given up on his son and his relationship, let alone any woman so infatuated. Infatuation is just a weakness that people look down upon.
Qihou didn't speak any more, turned around and walked down the waterfall, loosened his hair and wet it, and went to take a bath.
Seeing him walking away, Wu Jiao heaved a sigh of relief. He never thought that he had never made friends in his previous life, but in this life he would play the role of an infatuated seed?This is really too difficult for Wu Jiu, and I don't know if he just revealed his trap.
Wu Jiu didn't know, his confused expression at that moment just now was too spot on, it was completely misunderstood by Qi Hou, how could he reveal his secrets.
Wu Jiu stood by the water, because the weather was so hot that it didn't feel cool even after the sun went down. After standing for a long time, he sweated a little, so he squatted down slowly, touched the lake water, and felt the coolness of Qing's heart and spleen, Wu Jiu himself He is a little cleanliness and wants to take a bath, but Qihou has not finished serving him, so it is impossible for him to take a bath.
Wu Jiu's white robe lifted his hem, squatting by the lake, stretching out his hands to gently touch the lake water, watching the clear ripples on the water surface, under the moonlight, the sparkling waves on the water surface reflected Wu Jiu's shadow one after another.
Wu corrected pulling the water, and was suddenly taken aback. In the shallow water by the lake, there seemed to be a stone with words on it?
Wu Jiao hurriedly reached out to grab the stone, and even Qihou didn't see him coming over, "Wow!", Wu Jiao fished the stone out of the water, splashed a lot of water on his body in an instant, but that was terrible. It wasn't the water splashed by the stone, but Qihou came over.
Only then did Wu Jiu realize that Qihou was coming, and he was startled, but Qihou was not unnatural at all, Shi Shiran walked ashore from the water, brushed his wet black hair behind his back, picked up a handkerchief, Wipe it up.
Wu Jiu hurriedly lowered his head, as a modern person, he absolutely could not understand Qihou's calmness, he was obviously not wearing any clothes, but it seemed that he was the one without clothes.
Wu Jiu lowered his head and carefully looked at the stone in his hand.
While wiping the water, Qi Hou quickly put on his obscene clothes. Although it was midsummer, it was still a bit cool to come out of the water. He quickly put on a black silk robe, and said with a smile, "Second brother, is he still childlike? A stone is coming?"
Wu weighed the stone in his hand, it was as big as his palm, and it didn't look like a pebble, and said, "Your Majesty, there are words on this stone."
There are seven characters in total. Although Wu Jiu has been trying to make up for the characters in front of him these days, the characters are not that simple. Inside, there are five simple characters, the middle two characters, one is "Huang", and the other Wu Jiu is not very familiar with.
Qihou was putting on his clothes, when he heard Wu Jiu's words, he laughed and said, "Oh? There are words on the stone? Could it be that the stone has become a spirit?"
As he said, he walked over, took a look with his head, touched Wu Jiu's hand, and Qi Hou saw the words on it, a total of seven...
——If you are not as good as Huangquan, you will not meet each other.
Qihou himself had a gentle smile on his face, but when he saw these seven characters, that gentle smile froze slowly, very slowly.
Wu Jiu was a little strange, he glanced at Qihou calmly, and after Qihou's smile was completely solidified, he let out a "hmph" laugh and said, "It's not as good as Huangquan... I don't see each other..."
When Wu Jiao heard this, his body shook suddenly, thinking to himself, he was so stupid, the words on it were so small, no wonder Qihou's face became extremely ugly.
"If you are not as good as Huangquan, you will never see each other." In fact, there is an allusion in it, about [-] BC, a story about Zheng Zhuanggong.
Zheng Zhuanggong's mother, Wu Jiang, was said to have had a dystocia when she gave birth to Zheng Zhuanggong, and the child came out with both feet first, so Wu Jiang was greatly frightened, thinking that Zheng Zhuanggong was an ominous sign, so she came here to restrain herself and returned it to Zheng Zhuanggong. Zhuang Gong took the name "Wu Sheng" and hated him very much.
Later, Wu Jiang gave birth to another son named Gongshu Duan. Gong Shuduan was smart and loved by Wu Jiang. Wu Jiang suggested to the monarch that he wanted to abolish the elder and make Gongshu Duan the prince, but they were rejected.
After Zheng Zhuanggong succeeded to the throne, Wu Jiang was still in front of Zheng Zhuanggong, begging for the title and fief for Gong Shuduan. In short, he doted on his youngest son in various ways. Even though the eldest son had succeeded to the throne and became the king, he still hated his eldest son.
Later, Gong Shuduan rebelled, and Wu Jiang actually cooperated with the outside world, which angered Zheng Zhuanggong. Zheng Zhuanggong sent troops to attack Gongshuduan, suppressed the rebellion, and arrested his mother Wu Jiang, and placed him in Chengying. House arrest, and left a sentence, which is this sentence - "If you are not as good as Huangquan, you will not meet each other."
Zheng Zhuanggong swore to the sky that if he hadn't been buried in the ground after his death, he would never see Wu Jiang again.
This little allusion, in fact, describes the story of brothers killing each other, and the story of flesh and blood turning against each other. There are countless stories like this.
A stone with engraved words suddenly appeared in the lake where Qihou was bathing. The stone was not a pebble, but had sharp edges and corners. Obviously, after someone carved the words, they threw them directly into the lake. It seemed that they came here prepared to let Qihou And Wu Jiao saw it.
Although this little story has nothing to do with Marquis Qi, if you look closely, it is inextricably linked. It seems to reflect that Marquis Qi and Gongzi Jiu are two brothers who are fighting for the position and will never die.
However, in Qihou's view, there was another meaning, and it was this meaning that made Qihou's expression very unhappy, almost freezing.
That is, in this story, Zheng Zhuanggong is the eldest son, and Gong Shuduan is the second son. According to the usual rules, the eldest son is established as the prince. This is the so-called orderly seniority. It is justified, so the rebellion of Gong Shuduan will be cast aside and despised.
In this way, between Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu, Wu Jiu is the second child, Marquis Qi is the third child, and their elder brother Zhuer has been killed, so it stands to reason that Wu Jiu, who is the second child, should inherit the monarchy The position is more legitimate.
In fact, this is indeed the truth. If it weren't for the fact that Marquis Qi had been very scheming in the city in his early years, and had a close relationship with people like Gaozi Guozi and Gongsun Xipeng, even if he was the first to arrive in Linzi City, he would not I am determined not to enter the city, I am afraid that even if I enter the city and sit on the throne of the king, I will be beheaded by someone with a knife, and I will be a dead soul under the sword.
Marquis Qi has the support of countrymen, and although his name is not justified, he still sits in a high position.
When Qihou saw these seven characters, the first thing that came to his mind was the order of seniority, so that Qihou's face was gloomy and ugly.
Wu Jiu also thought of this, he would not have picked up the stone if he knew it earlier, and he didn't know who was so bold and threw the stone into the water, it must have been done on purpose.
Qi Hou didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he smiled, his face became relaxed, and said: "What is a broken stone worth? Second brother, hurry up and throw it away. It's night, let's go back with Gu."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu quickly threw the stone back into the water and said, "Yes."
When Qihou and Wu Jiu returned to the farmhouse, the room had already been tidied up, Ziqing was spreading the quilt, and the bed was almost done, with a quilt on the bed, besides, there were two floor beds in the room, Lay side by side on the ground.
Qihou glanced at it, said with a smile: "Second brother is weak, don't sleep on the floor, just sleep on the couch with Gu, take the quilt up."
Zhao Hu also stood aside, heard what Qi Hou said, and glanced at Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu had no expression on his face, Zhao Hu was afraid that his emotions would be discovered by Qi Hou again, so he just glanced at it, and then lowered his head The head did not speak.
Ziqing also glanced at Wu Jiao, but Wu Jiao didn't speak, Ziqing quickly picked up a quilt on the floor, put it on the couch, folded it carefully, and then stepped aside.
Wu Jiu's quilt was put on the bed, now it's ready, Qi Hou and Wu Jiu slept on the couch, Zhao Hu's quilt was placed on the floor alone.
Qihou Shi Shiran walked in, took a handkerchief to wipe his hair, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, Second Brother and Master Zhao also went to bed early, and we have to go up the mountain to find Cao GUI tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will invite you to stay in the farmhouse tomorrow morning, and Jiu will lead people up the mountain first. If you find it, please go up the mountain..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Hou waved his hand and said, "I'm looking for talents, of course because of my sincerity, I can't sit back and enjoy the success, can I?"
As soon as Wu Jiu heard this, he didn't speak anymore. He listened to Qihou's tone, and smiled half-truthfully. Cao GUI talked a lot.
And then there is...
The stone in the Caihu Lake just now made Qihou feel a little apprehensive. The order of seniority is his heart disease after all.
There is still some entertainment in the Qi Palace at night, but in this remote farmhouse, there is nothing to play with. As soon as it gets dark, the villagers are ready to rest, because there is no luxury like oil lamps in this kind of place Products, there is nothing to illuminate at night, so only rest is left.
Soon, the small village with less than ten households quieted down. Every household closed their doors and became silent. Qihou sat on the side of the couch and wiped his hair, but he didn't do it very carefully. Throwing away the veil, he took off his black outer robe, lay on the couch with only his inner garment on, and pulled the quilt over him.
Seeing that Marquis Qi was about to go to bed, Wu Jiao quickly extinguished the oil lamp they had brought, and walked softly to the door. He hadn't washed yet, so even if he wasn't going to take a bath, he would have to wash up anyway.
Wu Jiu walked to the door, Zhao Hu saw him, and glanced sideways at the couch, Qihou had long hair loose, half damp wet hair hanging down, half on his back, half on the bed, sideways, With his back to the door, he seemed to be about to fall asleep.
Zhao Hu hurriedly and quietly followed Wu Jiu out of the room, and then gently closed the door, only Qihou who was sleeping and the little boy Qing who was guarding the door were left in the room for a while.
With a soft "click", the rough door closed, and Qi Hou's lightly closed eyes suddenly opened, looking at the mottled wall.
Ziqing stood at the door, quite uneasy, lowered his head and grabbed his cuff, stretched out his hand to grab the thread on it, touched his wrist, and gently pressed a deep scar on his wrist. .
Ziqing's clothes made a slight rubbing sound, and Qihou who was sleeping on the couch suddenly said in a very soft voice: "Ziqing, if you have something to say, say it."
Ziqing was taken aback. Although Qihou turned his back to him and couldn't see what he was doing, Ziqing still quickly knelt down, lowered his head, and said softly: "Your Majesty...the little minister...the little minister is incompetent , Xiaochen seems...seems to be discovered by Young Master Jiu."
Qihou didn't turn around, and didn't make any exclamation sound, just said lightly: "Gu knows."
Ziqing was a little uneasy. He didn't know what Qihou meant. He was a dark chess piece, and he would be discovered sooner or later. Any way, after all, whoever made his life miserable can't be changed.
Ziqing has always been grateful for Qihou's kindness, even if he is about to become an abandoned son now, Ziqing has nothing to say, but Qihou said lightly, "I know", and there is nothing to say.
Ziqing was very disturbed, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He knelt on the ground for a while, and Qihou seemed to be asleep, and didn't speak or move again.
It's just that the wet hair on the back slowly slipped down a few strands with Qi Hou's breathing, and the air seemed to condense.
Ziqing didn't dare to get up, when he heard Qihou finally say another word, but it didn't seem to be to Ziqing, but to himself, his voice was very soft, and he sighed in a low tone: "It's not as good as Huangquan... ...no meeting..."
Ziqing didn't hear what Qihou was saying, so he could only say, "Your Majesty?"
Qihou moved a little at this time, a strand of black hair fell down from his back, and made a "rustling" sound, but he just changed his posture, as if he was still sleeping peacefully, closed his eyes and said, "get up."
Ziqing got up quickly, and there was no sound in the room for a while, and Qihou seemed to be really asleep...
Wu Jiu walked out of the room softly, Zhao Hu hurriedly followed, followed Wu Jiu a little further, and then whispered: "My lord, what's going on here? What does Marquis Qi mean?"
Wu Jiu suddenly grabbed Zhao Hu's wrist, and said softly, "Be quiet, follow me."
Zhao Hu was suddenly taken aback by his wrist. He felt his wrist was going to be hot. He quickly followed Wu Jiao and walked a few steps forward until he reached a place where no one was around.
Only then did Wu Jiu let go of his hand, and Zhao Hu also heaved a sigh of relief, and heard Wu Jiu say, "Master Zhao, be careful outside, and be respectful, what Qihou? You want to be called the king."
In Zhao Hu's mind, the ruler is naturally Wu Jiu, but now that the general situation has been determined, the one sitting on the throne is not Wu Jiu, how can Zhao Hu be reconciled.
But Zhao Hu still nodded, he is a person who knows the importance, Wu Jiu said: "What do you mean? It's just to test me, and Master Zhao, you must be respectful. We will go up the mountain to find Cao GUI tomorrow morning. Fortunately, this Liangfu Mountain is not big, so we searched it all in one day, so go back earlier."
Zhaohu nodded, that's the only way to go, even though Zhaohu escaped from Qi country all the way, he had suffered a lot on the way, it's not that he didn't make a floor bedding, especially when he was asked to make a floor bedding beside Qihou's couch, Zhao Hu returned I'm really not reconciled.
Wu Jiao was going to take a bath, after all he was going to sleep on the same couch with Marquis Qi, it would be impolite not to take a bath, Wu Jiao even asked Master Zhao if he wanted to go with him, Zhao Hu was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, he quickly shook his head and hands vigorously.
Wu Jiu didn't know what happened to Zhaohu, his face turned pale for a while, and turned red for a while, as if he was a scourge, and when he heard that he was going to take a bath, he shook his head like a rattle.
Zhao Hu stammered and said, "I... I just... just... made a deal with, with Da Ya, let's go...together, son, you go first."
Wu Jiu looked at Zhao Hu who was stuttering a little strangely, and said, "Master Zhao, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to call the medical officer for you?"
Zhaohu waved his hands again and again, and said, "My lord, go quickly, Zhaohu just...is not acclimatized."
Wu Jiao looked at Zhaohu strangely, but finally left first, ready to take a bath, as soon as Wu Jiao left, Zhaohu sighed, and at the same time wiped his forehead with his hand, really sweating , is scared.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the laughter of "hehe" coming from behind, Zhao Hu was startled, and quickly turned around to see, he is a swordsman, his vigilance is very good, but he was too nervous just now, He forgot to be vigilant for a while, suddenly someone laughed behind his back, Zhao Hu heard it, and was startled.
Looking back, it turned out that the person who was laughing turned out to be Dong Guo Ya. Dong Guo Ya was wearing a green shirt, standing behind Zhao Hu with his hands behind his back, and lowered his head slightly to look at him, because Dong Guo Ya was standing on the stone steps. He is taller than Zhaohu, even taller at this time, looking down at Zhaohu, he has a feeling of seeing all the small mountains at a glance, even Zhaohu's red ears can see clearly.
Zhao Hu glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Dong Guoya still smiled and said: "Master Zhong, why doesn't Dong Guo remember that I made an agreement with Master Zhong to take a bath together?"
Dong Guoya obviously heard it just now, and he was joking with Zhaohu. When Zhaohu heard it, not only his ears were red, but now his neck was completely red, and he was wearing a white shirt, which was particularly conspicuous.
Zhao Hu was so angry that he almost stomped his feet, and said in a vicious voice, "Laugh, why are you laughing? Don't laugh! You...you still laugh?!"
Zhao Hu's face turned red, and he stretched out his hand on the sword. He was about to draw the sword and rush over. Dong Guo Ya quickly pressed the back of his hand that drew the sword, and said, "Okay, it's Dong Guo's rudeness. Dong Guo apologizes to the concubine."
Zhao Hu let out a "hum", then slapped Dong Guo Ya's hand away, and let go of his own hand from the saber.
Dong Guoya said: "Actually, Dong Guo also has a kind heart. He came here to remind the concubine a few words."
Zhao Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "Good intentions?"
Dong Guoya smiled and said: "Of course, the concubine wants to watch the night for the emperor, what Dong Guo thinks, why doesn't he feel at ease."
Zhao Hu rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Do you really think I'm a three-year-old naughty boy? Only bad things happen?"
Dong Guoya shook his head and said: "The concubine Zhong, Doctor Bao and Doctor Guan are called the three legs of the tripod, there must be something superior, Dong Guo is absolutely inferior."
Wu Jiao came back from the shower, his wet hair was tied up in a hurry, and he saw Zhao Hu and Dong Guo Ya sitting side by side on the stone steps chatting, and they didn't know what they said, Zhao Hu seemed to roll up his arms and sleeves to hit someone , but it’s not really beating. Dong Guoya seems to be softening, and it seems that the chat is quite happy.
Wu Jiu walked over and said with a smile: "I thought Master Zhao and Master Dong Guo were not on the same page, so it seems that the relationship between the two is quite good."
Zhao Hu didn't expect Wu Jiu to come back so soon, Dong Guo Ya was teasing him just now, and now he heard Wu Jiu's voice, Zhao Hu was startled, and wondered if Wu Jiu heard him.
But looking at Wu Jiu's behavior, he probably didn't hear it, Dong Guoya was much more indifferent, and said with a smile: "The middle bastard is knowledgeable, Dong Guoya is really lucky to be able to make friends with the middle bastard."
Zhao Hu snorted, but hearing Dong Guoya praise himself was very rewarding in his heart.
Wu Jiu said: "Master Zhao and Master Dongguo don't talk too late, we have to go up the mountain tomorrow morning."
Zhaohu and Dong Guoya responded, and Wu Jiao went to the room, gently pushed the door open, Ziqing was still standing by the door, with his head down as if he was asleep, but as soon as Wu Jiao came in, Ziqing Moved a little.
But Qihou turned his back to the door, his breathing was already long, and he seemed to have fallen asleep a long time ago, and his sleep was extremely deep.
Wu Jiao walked in, intending to quietly remove the quilt from the couch and spread it on the floor, but just as he walked over, the person lying on the couch opened his eyes at once, with a pair of long and narrow eyes. Humu didn't feel sleepy at all, it was full of clarity, staring at Wu Jiu with a smile.
Wu Jiao shuddered, almost took a step back, Qi Hou said with a smile: "Second brother, go to bed."
Wu Jiu did not succeed in "escaping", Shi Shi bit the bullet and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your kindness."
He said, slowly lying on the edge of the couch with his clothes on, and covered himself with the quilt, leaving a big gap between him and Qihou, wishing he could lie down with another grown man.
Qihou laughed, turned his head away again, and said nothing, the room soon fell into silence, and after a while, Zhaohu also came in quietly, glanced at Wu Jiu who was on the couch with his eyes closed, and then glanced at the man with his back facing him. Qihou, who was looking at the door, slowly sat down on his floor.
Zhaohu sat up in the first half of the night and didn't dare to sleep. In the second half of the night, he was really sleepy and had nothing to do, so he lay down and slept. Ziqing needed to watch the night, so he stood at the door in the first half of the night.
Wu Jiu didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. After all, he was going to sleep with a tiger. He couldn't relax at all. What flashed in his mind was the seven characters on the stone in the lake, and the words from his previous life. Tragic death, and a lot of messy pictures.
Wu Jiu managed to fall asleep for a while in the middle of the night, and had a nightmare again, and woke up suddenly, but no one else woke up. Ziqing heard Wu Jiu's rough panting and hurried over to check.
Wu Jiao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing, you can sleep too."
Ziqing was really tired standing by the door. In the second half of the night, hearing the gradual and long breathing of everyone, Ziqing dared to sit down against the wall and stare for a while.
Wu Jiu slept soundly in the second half of the night. After all, he was really tired. He was still having messy dreams at first, but now it was clearly the height of summer, and Wu Jiao dreamed of a world of ice and snow, and he was alone, walking in the world of ice and snow. , A vast expanse of whiteness, very helpless, no one, can't see anything, very tired, very tired, keep walking, keep walking, can't stop, I don't know why, I keep going, I feel that I can only feel exhausted, cold Only when I die, die alone, will I stop...
However, at this moment, Wu Jiu felt the source of warmth, with a high temperature, which made Wu Jiu yearn for him very much, pulling him out of the ice and snow in an instant, as if it was a blanket, or the warm sunlight, Or the tender embrace of a mother.
Lying in this gentle embrace, Wu Jiu finally fell into a deep sleep...
Zhao Hu was naturally quiet, and he was a swordsman with sharp eyes and ears. The sun had just risen in the morning, and if there was any movement outside, Zhao Hu woke up immediately. He sat up slowly, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his waist. The sword is still there.
Zhao Hu turned over from the floor, put his shoulders back, stretched the sore muscles on his back, looked up...
"Ho!"
Zhaohu took a deep breath for a moment, waking up Ziqing who was dozing next to him. Ziqing rubbed his eyes and got up from the ground. Zhaohu also rubbed his eyes like him, and blinked vigorously. , as if trying to drive out the illusion.
however……
Zhao Hu saw that in the simple room, on the same simple hard couch, Wu Jiu's hair was a little loose, and the collar of his white robe was also parted, revealing a small piece of his neck, and he could vaguely see the obscene clothes underneath. white collar, and he was covered with a quilt.
However, that quilt was not Wu Jiu's, but Qi Hou's...
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou leaned together, curled up a little, leaning against Qi Hou's arms, Qi Hou put one arm around Wu Jiu's shoulders, holding him in his arms, and put the other hand outside the quilt.
Wu Jiu rested one hand on Qihou's chest, and with the other hand grabbed a strand of Qihou's loose black hair. He was still sleeping soundly, breathing long and steadily, and the movements of the two were very intimate.
Zhao Hu rubbed his eyes, the strange scene still persisted, and Ziqing also seemed to be taken aback.
Just as Zhao Hu gasped, Qi Hou seemed to wake up too.
However, once Qihou's words came out, no one dared to refute them. Emperors and nobles are like this. When their two mouths touch, no matter whether it is the moon or the stars in the sky, as long as they want it, the people below will definitely work hard for them.
Not to mention just a little bath?
Qihou went out of the room first, and as soon as he went out, Gongsun Xipeng quickly ordered the eunuch to prepare things and clothes for bathing, because Gongzi Yuan was assigned to another room, so he could relax without being with Qihou. Immediately, he glanced at Wu Jiu with disdain, then walked out unsteadily, and went back to his room.
As soon as Gongsun Xipeng and Gongzi Yuan left, Zhaohu suddenly let out a "ho--" and put his hands on the table, almost falling to the ground. Dong Guoya, who was next to him, moved quickly and caught Zhao Suddenly, he said, "Young bastard?!"
Wu Jiu was also taken aback, he didn't know Zhao Hu's thoughts, although Wu Jiu was transparent, he had never been in a relationship, and he had never had a feeling for anyone, and he subconsciously felt that if he fell in love, , must be looking for a cute woman, not a man, so naturally I didn't think about that.
Because of these, Wu Jiu didn't know what was going on with Zhao Hu at all, and he lay down on the table sweating profusely as if he was about to lose his strength.
Wu Jiu hurried over and said, "Master Zhao?"
Zhao Hu waved his hand, his face was a little pale, his heart was still beating wildly, almost lost his voice, more than that, Zhao Hu recalled the gaze of Marquis Qi just now, that kind of clear gaze, felt his whole body trembling To be paralyzed, as if bitten by a poisonous snake, this feeling is not exaggerated at all...
Zhao Hu was panting, and didn't dare to go to see Wu Jiu, Dong Guoya quickly said: "Your Excellency, let's hurry up and prepare for your lord's bathing, the concubine may be unacceptable, Dong Guo can just take care of the concubine."
Wu Jiu looked at Zhao Hu worriedly, nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Please trouble Master Dong Guo."
Dong Guoya also cupped his hands, Wu Jiao glanced at Zhaohu, and hurried out of the room.
As soon as Wu Jiu walked out, Zhao Hu heaved a sigh of relief, while Dong Guo Ya sighed and said, "Is there nothing wrong with Zhong Shuzi?"
Zhao Hu raised his head in a daze, and said, "Qihou...couldn't he really see it?"
Seeing Zhaohu, Dong Guoya turned pale, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "You don't need to worry about the concubine. If you say you can see it, I'm afraid you didn't. But the emperor is obviously testing the concubine Zhong. From now on, the concubine Zhong It is only serious to be careful in the end."
Zhao Hu wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Let's talk about it after tonight!"
Tonight, Zhaohu wants to share a room with Wu Jiu and Qihou, and he doesn't know how Qihou will test him...
Qihou walked out of the room, stood on the high ground outside the farmhouse, looked at the surrounding scenery, the evening sun almost receded gradually, leaving only a sliver of afterglow, the surroundings were dark, and the bright moonlight climbed up, here There was a heavy rain just before, and the land was muddy, washing the night sky extremely clear.
Qihou stood alone with his hands behind his back, and soon Wu Jiu followed, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are ready, please move forward."
Qi Hou turned around and smiled, and said, "Second Brother Lao is here."
As he spoke, he gestured to invite, and said, "Second brother invites too."
Wu Jiu lowered his head, and said dutifully, "Don't dare, please, Your Majesty."
Qihou didn't refuse any more, and walked out first, towards the back of the farmhouse and the lake at the foot of the mountain.
It is a small lake. The mountain people do not draw water from this lake for drinking and cooking, but from the stream flowing in front of the village. This lake is actually the water used by the village women to wash their clothes.
But the lake water is very cool, because it is not stagnant water, there is a clear spring that creates the momentum of a small waterfall, flowing down from the mountain, just pouring into this lake, making the lake water flow.
It is midsummer now, when the water is abundant, and the spring and waterfall are also extremely abundant. Before entering, I heard the sound of "crashing" water flow. Although it is not majestic and majestic, it has the appearance of a water town, soft and beautiful.
Marquis Qi walked over, Wu Jiu followed behind, and behind him there were eunuchs and maids holding clothes. Since Marquis Qi’s identity could not be exposed, after everyone walked over, the eunuchs and maids put down their things and all retreated By the lake, there are only two people left, Qi Hou and Wu Jiu.
Gongsun Xipeng led a group of tiger and ben troops to garrison around to ensure the safety of the two.
Qihou stood still by the lake, stretched out his hand to test the water temperature, the summer here is hot and humid, the lake is cool, but not piercing, just to relieve the heat, Qihou couldn't help chuckling and said: "Second brother Do you want to take a bath too?"
Wu Jiao was taken aback, but said respectfully on his face, "Jiao dare not."
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother is being polite again."
Although he said so, he didn't invite Wu Jiu again. Qihou really wanted to take a bath. After all, he rode a horse and followed a car all the way. The sun was so hot that he was sweating all over his body, so it's not as good as Wu Jiu It's comfortable sitting in a black car.
Qihou is also a person who loves cleanliness. His body is sticky and sticky. He wanted to take a bath and change his clothes a long time ago. Standing by the lake, he did not shy away from it or be ashamed. He took off his black belt and threw it aside.
Wu Jiao quickly reached out to catch it, the belt was a two-finger-wide black jade buckle, if thrown directly on the ground, it would surely shatter, he caught it in his hand, folded it and put it aside.
Just when Wu Jiao had finished folding his belt, Qi Hou had already rustled naked. When Wu Jiao turned his head again, he happened to see Qi Hou walking into the lake. Wu Jiao was startled, and hurriedly Turning back to avoid danger, he picked up the clothes on the ground and folded them carefully, and put them together with the belt.
Wu Jiu didn't dare to raise his head. He was almost startled at that moment just now. In fact, it was not the first time that Marquis Qi had exposed himself like this. On the way to Ju, Marquis Qi also bathed in the tent, and the vertical and horizontal flow was smooth. His muscles are indeed enviable. Wu Jiao looked at his thin arms, wondering when he could train them to look like that?
After Wu folded his clothes, he heard Qi Hou who was taking a bath chuckle and said, "Second brother is so gentle and caring, any girl who is married to second brother must be lucky."
Wu Jiu listened to Qi Hou's teasing, and he just thought in his heart that Qi Hou was used to being served by others, so he didn't think about such trivial matters. In his previous life, he lived alone and had no one to rely on, so naturally he would worry about these trivial matters. After a long time, it will all be done.
Wu Jiao had no expression on his face, he didn't like recalling his previous life, Wu Jiao felt that since God gave him a brand new life, he should forget all of his previous life, after all, nothing is happy, but Wu Jiao's thoughts were too narrow, And heavy, always involuntarily think of the past that is not worth remembering.
Wu Jiu just said flatly: "Your Majesty made fun of me."
Although Qi Hou didn't worry about these trifles, he was also a person with a heavy heart. Wu Jiu's expression was always calm, and suddenly there was some indifferent silence, which made Qi Hou keenly aware of it immediately.
Although Qihou knew that his second brother's personality had suddenly become calm and prudent in the past few months, Qihou couldn't imagine that his second brother was actually not the second brother he knew.
Wu Jiu fell silent suddenly, and Qi Hou thought of Chazili.
Standing in the lake, Qihou slowly walked a few steps towards Wu Jiu, with a "crash", he stretched out his hand to lift up all the wet hair, and wiped his cheek with a wide palm, "Shut!" Throwing all the beads down, squinting at Wu Jiao, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but not too strong, he said in a low voice: "Second brother, still can't forget that woman?"
Wu Jiu was still immersed in the sorrow of his previous life, after all he had only sorrow in his previous life, at this moment, Qi Hou suddenly threw him a bomb.
"Boom!" With a sound, Wu Jiu's head almost exploded.
Can't forget that woman?
What woman?
Doesn't Wu Jiu know that Young Master Jiu is still a seed of infatuation?
Wu Jiu thought carefully about Gongzi Jiu in history, because he died in his thirties, so there are very few records about him, and there are basically no records.
Speaking of which, Young Master Jiu and Qi Hou are not the same mother, in fact they are not much older than Qi Hou, Qi Hou has three sons now, and after all, Young Master Jiu should have sons and daughters, but after Wu Jiu woke up, he I didn't realize that I didn't have any relatives, let alone a son or daughter, not even a wife and concubine.
Wu Jiu was indeed puzzled, but he was relieved not to have a wife and concubine, and he didn't need to deal with those anymore, so Wu Jiu didn't think about it again.
Now hearing Qihou suddenly throwing a big bomb, Wu Jiao was almost stunned. He has no memories of the past, and Wu Jiao is now relying on his own half-knowledge of history, as well as his own caution. .
Wu Jiu really didn't know anything about the woman Qihou mentioned.
Wu Jiu didn't expect that Young Master Jiu was still a passionate seed. He had an affair with Mi Ji before, and now he is still in love with a mysterious woman?
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes quickly, what kind of woman is it?There are very few records about women in this era, and Wu Jiu couldn't think of any woman who had a relationship with Gongzi Jiu.
Wu Jiao didn't speak, his eyes rolled quickly, but Qi Hou regarded him as admitting it, laughed, and said, "I didn't expect that second brother is really so infatuated."
Wu Jiu didn't dare to speak, because he couldn't imagine it in his mind at all, and he was afraid of revealing himself, so he lowered his head and pretended to be silent.
Qihou glanced at Wu Jiao, he didn't know that Wu Jiao was just pretending to be silent because of guilty conscience, and thought that Wu Jiao was immersed in memories, but the fleeting blankness in Wu Jiao's eyes made him see it as a kind of ignorance afterwards. A heart like still water is lost.
Qi Hou misunderstood in an instant, chuckled, and looked at Wu Jiu with a look of disdain. After all, Qi Hou had suffered such a disaster in his previous life, and he had given up on his son and his relationship, let alone any woman so infatuated. Infatuation is just a weakness that people look down upon.
Qihou didn't speak any more, turned around and walked down the waterfall, loosened his hair and wet it, and went to take a bath.
Seeing him walking away, Wu Jiao heaved a sigh of relief. He never thought that he had never made friends in his previous life, but in this life he would play the role of an infatuated seed?This is really too difficult for Wu Jiu, and I don't know if he just revealed his trap.
Wu Jiu didn't know, his confused expression at that moment just now was too spot on, it was completely misunderstood by Qi Hou, how could he reveal his secrets.
Wu Jiu stood by the water, because the weather was so hot that it didn't feel cool even after the sun went down. After standing for a long time, he sweated a little, so he squatted down slowly, touched the lake water, and felt the coolness of Qing's heart and spleen, Wu Jiu himself He is a little cleanliness and wants to take a bath, but Qihou has not finished serving him, so it is impossible for him to take a bath.
Wu Jiu's white robe lifted his hem, squatting by the lake, stretching out his hands to gently touch the lake water, watching the clear ripples on the water surface, under the moonlight, the sparkling waves on the water surface reflected Wu Jiu's shadow one after another.
Wu corrected pulling the water, and was suddenly taken aback. In the shallow water by the lake, there seemed to be a stone with words on it?
Wu Jiao hurriedly reached out to grab the stone, and even Qihou didn't see him coming over, "Wow!", Wu Jiao fished the stone out of the water, splashed a lot of water on his body in an instant, but that was terrible. It wasn't the water splashed by the stone, but Qihou came over.
Only then did Wu Jiu realize that Qihou was coming, and he was startled, but Qihou was not unnatural at all, Shi Shiran walked ashore from the water, brushed his wet black hair behind his back, picked up a handkerchief, Wipe it up.
Wu Jiu hurriedly lowered his head, as a modern person, he absolutely could not understand Qihou's calmness, he was obviously not wearing any clothes, but it seemed that he was the one without clothes.
Wu Jiu lowered his head and carefully looked at the stone in his hand.
While wiping the water, Qi Hou quickly put on his obscene clothes. Although it was midsummer, it was still a bit cool to come out of the water. He quickly put on a black silk robe, and said with a smile, "Second brother, is he still childlike? A stone is coming?"
Wu weighed the stone in his hand, it was as big as his palm, and it didn't look like a pebble, and said, "Your Majesty, there are words on this stone."
There are seven characters in total. Although Wu Jiu has been trying to make up for the characters in front of him these days, the characters are not that simple. Inside, there are five simple characters, the middle two characters, one is "Huang", and the other Wu Jiu is not very familiar with.
Qihou was putting on his clothes, when he heard Wu Jiu's words, he laughed and said, "Oh? There are words on the stone? Could it be that the stone has become a spirit?"
As he said, he walked over, took a look with his head, touched Wu Jiu's hand, and Qi Hou saw the words on it, a total of seven...
——If you are not as good as Huangquan, you will not meet each other.
Qihou himself had a gentle smile on his face, but when he saw these seven characters, that gentle smile froze slowly, very slowly.
Wu Jiu was a little strange, he glanced at Qihou calmly, and after Qihou's smile was completely solidified, he let out a "hmph" laugh and said, "It's not as good as Huangquan... I don't see each other..."
When Wu Jiao heard this, his body shook suddenly, thinking to himself, he was so stupid, the words on it were so small, no wonder Qihou's face became extremely ugly.
"If you are not as good as Huangquan, you will never see each other." In fact, there is an allusion in it, about [-] BC, a story about Zheng Zhuanggong.
Zheng Zhuanggong's mother, Wu Jiang, was said to have had a dystocia when she gave birth to Zheng Zhuanggong, and the child came out with both feet first, so Wu Jiang was greatly frightened, thinking that Zheng Zhuanggong was an ominous sign, so she came here to restrain herself and returned it to Zheng Zhuanggong. Zhuang Gong took the name "Wu Sheng" and hated him very much.
Later, Wu Jiang gave birth to another son named Gongshu Duan. Gong Shuduan was smart and loved by Wu Jiang. Wu Jiang suggested to the monarch that he wanted to abolish the elder and make Gongshu Duan the prince, but they were rejected.
After Zheng Zhuanggong succeeded to the throne, Wu Jiang was still in front of Zheng Zhuanggong, begging for the title and fief for Gong Shuduan. In short, he doted on his youngest son in various ways. Even though the eldest son had succeeded to the throne and became the king, he still hated his eldest son.
Later, Gong Shuduan rebelled, and Wu Jiang actually cooperated with the outside world, which angered Zheng Zhuanggong. Zheng Zhuanggong sent troops to attack Gongshuduan, suppressed the rebellion, and arrested his mother Wu Jiang, and placed him in Chengying. House arrest, and left a sentence, which is this sentence - "If you are not as good as Huangquan, you will not meet each other."
Zheng Zhuanggong swore to the sky that if he hadn't been buried in the ground after his death, he would never see Wu Jiang again.
This little allusion, in fact, describes the story of brothers killing each other, and the story of flesh and blood turning against each other. There are countless stories like this.
A stone with engraved words suddenly appeared in the lake where Qihou was bathing. The stone was not a pebble, but had sharp edges and corners. Obviously, after someone carved the words, they threw them directly into the lake. It seemed that they came here prepared to let Qihou And Wu Jiao saw it.
Although this little story has nothing to do with Marquis Qi, if you look closely, it is inextricably linked. It seems to reflect that Marquis Qi and Gongzi Jiu are two brothers who are fighting for the position and will never die.
However, in Qihou's view, there was another meaning, and it was this meaning that made Qihou's expression very unhappy, almost freezing.
That is, in this story, Zheng Zhuanggong is the eldest son, and Gong Shuduan is the second son. According to the usual rules, the eldest son is established as the prince. This is the so-called orderly seniority. It is justified, so the rebellion of Gong Shuduan will be cast aside and despised.
In this way, between Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu, Wu Jiu is the second child, Marquis Qi is the third child, and their elder brother Zhuer has been killed, so it stands to reason that Wu Jiu, who is the second child, should inherit the monarchy The position is more legitimate.
In fact, this is indeed the truth. If it weren't for the fact that Marquis Qi had been very scheming in the city in his early years, and had a close relationship with people like Gaozi Guozi and Gongsun Xipeng, even if he was the first to arrive in Linzi City, he would not I am determined not to enter the city, I am afraid that even if I enter the city and sit on the throne of the king, I will be beheaded by someone with a knife, and I will be a dead soul under the sword.
Marquis Qi has the support of countrymen, and although his name is not justified, he still sits in a high position.
When Qihou saw these seven characters, the first thing that came to his mind was the order of seniority, so that Qihou's face was gloomy and ugly.
Wu Jiu also thought of this, he would not have picked up the stone if he knew it earlier, and he didn't know who was so bold and threw the stone into the water, it must have been done on purpose.
Qi Hou didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he smiled, his face became relaxed, and said: "What is a broken stone worth? Second brother, hurry up and throw it away. It's night, let's go back with Gu."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu quickly threw the stone back into the water and said, "Yes."
When Qihou and Wu Jiu returned to the farmhouse, the room had already been tidied up, Ziqing was spreading the quilt, and the bed was almost done, with a quilt on the bed, besides, there were two floor beds in the room, Lay side by side on the ground.
Qihou glanced at it, said with a smile: "Second brother is weak, don't sleep on the floor, just sleep on the couch with Gu, take the quilt up."
Zhao Hu also stood aside, heard what Qi Hou said, and glanced at Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu had no expression on his face, Zhao Hu was afraid that his emotions would be discovered by Qi Hou again, so he just glanced at it, and then lowered his head The head did not speak.
Ziqing also glanced at Wu Jiao, but Wu Jiao didn't speak, Ziqing quickly picked up a quilt on the floor, put it on the couch, folded it carefully, and then stepped aside.
Wu Jiu's quilt was put on the bed, now it's ready, Qi Hou and Wu Jiu slept on the couch, Zhao Hu's quilt was placed on the floor alone.
Qihou Shi Shiran walked in, took a handkerchief to wipe his hair, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, Second Brother and Master Zhao also went to bed early, and we have to go up the mountain to find Cao GUI tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I will invite you to stay in the farmhouse tomorrow morning, and Jiu will lead people up the mountain first. If you find it, please go up the mountain..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Hou waved his hand and said, "I'm looking for talents, of course because of my sincerity, I can't sit back and enjoy the success, can I?"
As soon as Wu Jiu heard this, he didn't speak anymore. He listened to Qihou's tone, and smiled half-truthfully. Cao GUI talked a lot.
And then there is...
The stone in the Caihu Lake just now made Qihou feel a little apprehensive. The order of seniority is his heart disease after all.
There is still some entertainment in the Qi Palace at night, but in this remote farmhouse, there is nothing to play with. As soon as it gets dark, the villagers are ready to rest, because there is no luxury like oil lamps in this kind of place Products, there is nothing to illuminate at night, so only rest is left.
Soon, the small village with less than ten households quieted down. Every household closed their doors and became silent. Qihou sat on the side of the couch and wiped his hair, but he didn't do it very carefully. Throwing away the veil, he took off his black outer robe, lay on the couch with only his inner garment on, and pulled the quilt over him.
Seeing that Marquis Qi was about to go to bed, Wu Jiao quickly extinguished the oil lamp they had brought, and walked softly to the door. He hadn't washed yet, so even if he wasn't going to take a bath, he would have to wash up anyway.
Wu Jiu walked to the door, Zhao Hu saw him, and glanced sideways at the couch, Qihou had long hair loose, half damp wet hair hanging down, half on his back, half on the bed, sideways, With his back to the door, he seemed to be about to fall asleep.
Zhao Hu hurriedly and quietly followed Wu Jiu out of the room, and then gently closed the door, only Qihou who was sleeping and the little boy Qing who was guarding the door were left in the room for a while.
With a soft "click", the rough door closed, and Qi Hou's lightly closed eyes suddenly opened, looking at the mottled wall.
Ziqing stood at the door, quite uneasy, lowered his head and grabbed his cuff, stretched out his hand to grab the thread on it, touched his wrist, and gently pressed a deep scar on his wrist. .
Ziqing's clothes made a slight rubbing sound, and Qihou who was sleeping on the couch suddenly said in a very soft voice: "Ziqing, if you have something to say, say it."
Ziqing was taken aback. Although Qihou turned his back to him and couldn't see what he was doing, Ziqing still quickly knelt down, lowered his head, and said softly: "Your Majesty...the little minister...the little minister is incompetent , Xiaochen seems...seems to be discovered by Young Master Jiu."
Qihou didn't turn around, and didn't make any exclamation sound, just said lightly: "Gu knows."
Ziqing was a little uneasy. He didn't know what Qihou meant. He was a dark chess piece, and he would be discovered sooner or later. Any way, after all, whoever made his life miserable can't be changed.
Ziqing has always been grateful for Qihou's kindness, even if he is about to become an abandoned son now, Ziqing has nothing to say, but Qihou said lightly, "I know", and there is nothing to say.
Ziqing was very disturbed, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He knelt on the ground for a while, and Qihou seemed to be asleep, and didn't speak or move again.
It's just that the wet hair on the back slowly slipped down a few strands with Qi Hou's breathing, and the air seemed to condense.
Ziqing didn't dare to get up, when he heard Qihou finally say another word, but it didn't seem to be to Ziqing, but to himself, his voice was very soft, and he sighed in a low tone: "It's not as good as Huangquan... ...no meeting..."
Ziqing didn't hear what Qihou was saying, so he could only say, "Your Majesty?"
Qihou moved a little at this time, a strand of black hair fell down from his back, and made a "rustling" sound, but he just changed his posture, as if he was still sleeping peacefully, closed his eyes and said, "get up."
Ziqing got up quickly, and there was no sound in the room for a while, and Qihou seemed to be really asleep...
Wu Jiu walked out of the room softly, Zhao Hu hurriedly followed, followed Wu Jiu a little further, and then whispered: "My lord, what's going on here? What does Marquis Qi mean?"
Wu Jiu suddenly grabbed Zhao Hu's wrist, and said softly, "Be quiet, follow me."
Zhao Hu was suddenly taken aback by his wrist. He felt his wrist was going to be hot. He quickly followed Wu Jiao and walked a few steps forward until he reached a place where no one was around.
Only then did Wu Jiu let go of his hand, and Zhao Hu also heaved a sigh of relief, and heard Wu Jiu say, "Master Zhao, be careful outside, and be respectful, what Qihou? You want to be called the king."
In Zhao Hu's mind, the ruler is naturally Wu Jiu, but now that the general situation has been determined, the one sitting on the throne is not Wu Jiu, how can Zhao Hu be reconciled.
But Zhao Hu still nodded, he is a person who knows the importance, Wu Jiu said: "What do you mean? It's just to test me, and Master Zhao, you must be respectful. We will go up the mountain to find Cao GUI tomorrow morning. Fortunately, this Liangfu Mountain is not big, so we searched it all in one day, so go back earlier."
Zhaohu nodded, that's the only way to go, even though Zhaohu escaped from Qi country all the way, he had suffered a lot on the way, it's not that he didn't make a floor bedding, especially when he was asked to make a floor bedding beside Qihou's couch, Zhao Hu returned I'm really not reconciled.
Wu Jiao was going to take a bath, after all he was going to sleep on the same couch with Marquis Qi, it would be impolite not to take a bath, Wu Jiao even asked Master Zhao if he wanted to go with him, Zhao Hu was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, he quickly shook his head and hands vigorously.
Wu Jiu didn't know what happened to Zhaohu, his face turned pale for a while, and turned red for a while, as if he was a scourge, and when he heard that he was going to take a bath, he shook his head like a rattle.
Zhao Hu stammered and said, "I... I just... just... made a deal with, with Da Ya, let's go...together, son, you go first."
Wu Jiu looked at Zhao Hu who was stuttering a little strangely, and said, "Master Zhao, are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to call the medical officer for you?"
Zhaohu waved his hands again and again, and said, "My lord, go quickly, Zhaohu just...is not acclimatized."
Wu Jiao looked at Zhaohu strangely, but finally left first, ready to take a bath, as soon as Wu Jiao left, Zhaohu sighed, and at the same time wiped his forehead with his hand, really sweating , is scared.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the laughter of "hehe" coming from behind, Zhao Hu was startled, and quickly turned around to see, he is a swordsman, his vigilance is very good, but he was too nervous just now, He forgot to be vigilant for a while, suddenly someone laughed behind his back, Zhao Hu heard it, and was startled.
Looking back, it turned out that the person who was laughing turned out to be Dong Guo Ya. Dong Guo Ya was wearing a green shirt, standing behind Zhao Hu with his hands behind his back, and lowered his head slightly to look at him, because Dong Guo Ya was standing on the stone steps. He is taller than Zhaohu, even taller at this time, looking down at Zhaohu, he has a feeling of seeing all the small mountains at a glance, even Zhaohu's red ears can see clearly.
Zhao Hu glared at him and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Dong Guoya still smiled and said: "Master Zhong, why doesn't Dong Guo remember that I made an agreement with Master Zhong to take a bath together?"
Dong Guoya obviously heard it just now, and he was joking with Zhaohu. When Zhaohu heard it, not only his ears were red, but now his neck was completely red, and he was wearing a white shirt, which was particularly conspicuous.
Zhao Hu was so angry that he almost stomped his feet, and said in a vicious voice, "Laugh, why are you laughing? Don't laugh! You...you still laugh?!"
Zhao Hu's face turned red, and he stretched out his hand on the sword. He was about to draw the sword and rush over. Dong Guo Ya quickly pressed the back of his hand that drew the sword, and said, "Okay, it's Dong Guo's rudeness. Dong Guo apologizes to the concubine."
Zhao Hu let out a "hum", then slapped Dong Guo Ya's hand away, and let go of his own hand from the saber.
Dong Guoya said: "Actually, Dong Guo also has a kind heart. He came here to remind the concubine a few words."
Zhao Hu raised his eyebrows and said, "Good intentions?"
Dong Guoya smiled and said: "Of course, the concubine wants to watch the night for the emperor, what Dong Guo thinks, why doesn't he feel at ease."
Zhao Hu rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Do you really think I'm a three-year-old naughty boy? Only bad things happen?"
Dong Guoya shook his head and said: "The concubine Zhong, Doctor Bao and Doctor Guan are called the three legs of the tripod, there must be something superior, Dong Guo is absolutely inferior."
Wu Jiao came back from the shower, his wet hair was tied up in a hurry, and he saw Zhao Hu and Dong Guo Ya sitting side by side on the stone steps chatting, and they didn't know what they said, Zhao Hu seemed to roll up his arms and sleeves to hit someone , but it’s not really beating. Dong Guoya seems to be softening, and it seems that the chat is quite happy.
Wu Jiu walked over and said with a smile: "I thought Master Zhao and Master Dong Guo were not on the same page, so it seems that the relationship between the two is quite good."
Zhao Hu didn't expect Wu Jiu to come back so soon, Dong Guo Ya was teasing him just now, and now he heard Wu Jiu's voice, Zhao Hu was startled, and wondered if Wu Jiu heard him.
But looking at Wu Jiu's behavior, he probably didn't hear it, Dong Guoya was much more indifferent, and said with a smile: "The middle bastard is knowledgeable, Dong Guoya is really lucky to be able to make friends with the middle bastard."
Zhao Hu snorted, but hearing Dong Guoya praise himself was very rewarding in his heart.
Wu Jiu said: "Master Zhao and Master Dongguo don't talk too late, we have to go up the mountain tomorrow morning."
Zhaohu and Dong Guoya responded, and Wu Jiao went to the room, gently pushed the door open, Ziqing was still standing by the door, with his head down as if he was asleep, but as soon as Wu Jiao came in, Ziqing Moved a little.
But Qihou turned his back to the door, his breathing was already long, and he seemed to have fallen asleep a long time ago, and his sleep was extremely deep.
Wu Jiao walked in, intending to quietly remove the quilt from the couch and spread it on the floor, but just as he walked over, the person lying on the couch opened his eyes at once, with a pair of long and narrow eyes. Humu didn't feel sleepy at all, it was full of clarity, staring at Wu Jiu with a smile.
Wu Jiao shuddered, almost took a step back, Qi Hou said with a smile: "Second brother, go to bed."
Wu Jiu did not succeed in "escaping", Shi Shi bit the bullet and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your kindness."
He said, slowly lying on the edge of the couch with his clothes on, and covered himself with the quilt, leaving a big gap between him and Qihou, wishing he could lie down with another grown man.
Qihou laughed, turned his head away again, and said nothing, the room soon fell into silence, and after a while, Zhaohu also came in quietly, glanced at Wu Jiu who was on the couch with his eyes closed, and then glanced at the man with his back facing him. Qihou, who was looking at the door, slowly sat down on his floor.
Zhaohu sat up in the first half of the night and didn't dare to sleep. In the second half of the night, he was really sleepy and had nothing to do, so he lay down and slept. Ziqing needed to watch the night, so he stood at the door in the first half of the night.
Wu Jiu didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. After all, he was going to sleep with a tiger. He couldn't relax at all. What flashed in his mind was the seven characters on the stone in the lake, and the words from his previous life. Tragic death, and a lot of messy pictures.
Wu Jiu managed to fall asleep for a while in the middle of the night, and had a nightmare again, and woke up suddenly, but no one else woke up. Ziqing heard Wu Jiu's rough panting and hurried over to check.
Wu Jiao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing, you can sleep too."
Ziqing was really tired standing by the door. In the second half of the night, hearing the gradual and long breathing of everyone, Ziqing dared to sit down against the wall and stare for a while.
Wu Jiu slept soundly in the second half of the night. After all, he was really tired. He was still having messy dreams at first, but now it was clearly the height of summer, and Wu Jiao dreamed of a world of ice and snow, and he was alone, walking in the world of ice and snow. , A vast expanse of whiteness, very helpless, no one, can't see anything, very tired, very tired, keep walking, keep walking, can't stop, I don't know why, I keep going, I feel that I can only feel exhausted, cold Only when I die, die alone, will I stop...
However, at this moment, Wu Jiu felt the source of warmth, with a high temperature, which made Wu Jiu yearn for him very much, pulling him out of the ice and snow in an instant, as if it was a blanket, or the warm sunlight, Or the tender embrace of a mother.
Lying in this gentle embrace, Wu Jiu finally fell into a deep sleep...
Zhao Hu was naturally quiet, and he was a swordsman with sharp eyes and ears. The sun had just risen in the morning, and if there was any movement outside, Zhao Hu woke up immediately. He sat up slowly, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his waist. The sword is still there.
Zhao Hu turned over from the floor, put his shoulders back, stretched the sore muscles on his back, looked up...
"Ho!"
Zhaohu took a deep breath for a moment, waking up Ziqing who was dozing next to him. Ziqing rubbed his eyes and got up from the ground. Zhaohu also rubbed his eyes like him, and blinked vigorously. , as if trying to drive out the illusion.
however……
Zhao Hu saw that in the simple room, on the same simple hard couch, Wu Jiu's hair was a little loose, and the collar of his white robe was also parted, revealing a small piece of his neck, and he could vaguely see the obscene clothes underneath. white collar, and he was covered with a quilt.
However, that quilt was not Wu Jiu's, but Qi Hou's...
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou leaned together, curled up a little, leaning against Qi Hou's arms, Qi Hou put one arm around Wu Jiu's shoulders, holding him in his arms, and put the other hand outside the quilt.
Wu Jiu rested one hand on Qihou's chest, and with the other hand grabbed a strand of Qihou's loose black hair. He was still sleeping soundly, breathing long and steadily, and the movements of the two were very intimate.
Zhao Hu rubbed his eyes, the strange scene still persisted, and Ziqing also seemed to be taken aback.
Just as Zhao Hu gasped, Qi Hou seemed to wake up too.
