Wu Jiu thought about opening a private restaurant, but there is no such thing as a private restaurant in this era.

Wu Jiu explained this to Ziqing and Yan'e. The two of them didn't understand what a "private restaurant" was at all. The national currency is called Qidao, but because the Qidao itself is not unified, the currency is likely to be discredited, and there is no unified currency exchange bank, bank, etc., so it is more convenient and practical to barter for things.

Wu Jiao decided to start with the simplest one, which is of course a pancake shop. Hyundai can set up a pancake shop with just a small cart, and expand the business to sell pancake soymilk set meals.

One pancake sells for half a stone of grain, one bowl of soy milk sells for five buckets of grain, two pancakes and two bowls of soy milk sell for a price of one stone of grain, and the more you buy, the more you get.

When Ziqing and Yan'e heard this, their faces turned livid, and they both wanted to pick their throats. Wu Jiu looked at them strangely, but Yan'e said with a bitter face, "My lord, your pancakes are so expensive? The servant girl ate them before. So many, this... this..."

Wu Jiu said helplessly, "I won't ask you for food."

Yan'e still said with a bitter face: "That would be a waste, if you really sell it if you don't eat it, how many mountains of grain will you have to pile up now!"

Wu Jiu thought it was a good idea, because pancakes and soy milk had never been seen by anyone except Qihou who ate four at a time, so it must be easy to sell, and if Qihou was used as an advertisement, the nobles would definitely follow suit. When pancakes became popular, it would be nice to add some other dishes. There are plenty of dishes in Wu Jiu's head.

Wu Jiu thought so, and now that he is idle, he planned to do this, but now there is a problem, they want to sell the pancakes at a "conscience price", they must not sell them with a small cart, that would make the pancakes worthless, There must be a restaurant, which is decorated very petty bourgeoisie, and you can tell at a glance that only the nobles and nobles can afford it.

When Wu Jiu said that, Ziqing had an idea, and said, "My lord, don't you have a mansion in Linzi City? It was rewarded by the Duke before, and you never lived in it."

When Wu Jiu heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Kuai Ziqing, take me there."

So the three of them went out of the palace. Although Young Master Jiu is not popular in front of Xiangong, he is a young master anyway, so the mansion has a place, which is not very big, but it is a prosperous area, which is very conspicuous.

Such a house is more than enough to be used as a restaurant. Looking at the house, Wu Jiu was very satisfied, and said: "The front is used as a hall, and the back is used as a storehouse and dining room. One side is used to store the exchanged grain, and the other side can be used as food." Provide accommodation for those who live far away.”

When Ziqing and Yan'e heard it, they were dizzy, what?Shan Fu can still live here?

This is the son's residence, and it is possible for the boarder to live there, not only for accommodation, but also for the staff's food, three meals are also free.

Wu Jiu was engaged in catering before, so he knew what kind of conditions and benefits were the most attractive. Of course, ordinary people in this era are in a difficult situation. For them, the issue of accommodation and food are the two most important issues. Come out, there must be many people to apply.

Wu Jiu asked Ziqing to recruit some people to look honest and reliable, and then to do training, but the training was done in one day, it was nothing more than how to entertain guests, etc. After all, their private restaurant was open to nobles Yes, nobles are picky.

In order to improve the quality of the pancakes, Wu Jiu also thought of other ways, for example, when the guests enter the restaurant, they should be greeted first, and then brought to the table. There are eight small plates filled with various side dishes. The momentum must be done first, and it looks absolutely luxurious.

But in fact, those side dishes are just ordinary sauces, which are not expensive at all. You can eat them directly, or you can eat them with pancakes when they arrive.

Before the meal, give a plate of candied haws wrapped in honey, eat some sour appetizers, and then serve pancakes with soy milk at the end. It is simply a luxurious set meal!

Wu Jiu felt quite satisfied with his idea, and wanted to try it out for a few days. After all, there was no cost price, so he could start work directly by finding a few staff members first.

Wu Jiu is a son, so he definitely can’t sell pancakes himself, so he just handed over the method of making pancakes to the employees. After a few days, because the house is ready-made, just a few tables and mats are enough, and work will start soon .

The private restaurant sounds very novel, and once you enter it, the layout inside is simple but very stylish. There are screens next to each table, which is made into a semi-private room, which is very private. After the guests sit down, they are directly seen The fruit tea, scented tea and eight kinds of side dishes scared me, as well as the candied haws that only the court could eat, Qihou’s favorite big pancake, served with a bowl of sweet soy milk, those nobles had never seen this fresh food It's a thing, so it was spread ten to ten, and it was spread.

Marquis Qi has been very busy these days, he hasn't decided whether to take Wu Jiu to the funeral in the Zhou Dynasty, but he heard the eunuch talk about the restaurant, and Wu Jiu even used himself as an advertisement, it is said that the business is very good .

Qihou was very tired these days, so he wanted to go out for a walk to relax. Hearing that Wu Jiao had built this private restaurant, he really wanted to see it, so he brought an eunuch with him, and went out without packing.

Wu Jiu's restaurant has been open for less than half a month, and it is still in the trial operation stage, but it is already very popular. How popular is it?Open all day, if you don't want to queue up, you have to avoid the meal time to eat.

Moreover, the gentry and nobles in Linzi City, no matter who they are, have to queue up, and those who jump in line will not be given food, and all of them will be thrown out, which sounds very big.

Qi Hou didn't know that there was still a queue at this pancake restaurant, and he was dumbfounded when he walked to the door. He was wearing a purple casual dress today, which was not so high-profile, and he was a little dumbfounded looking at the seats at the door.

There is a very long bench at the door, which was specially made by Wu Jiao. It is a bit similar to the long bench in old Beijing, but it is much longer than that. After all, it seems a bit strange to let people in the queue sit on the floor. , so I got such a long bench, people in line can sit and rest here, and the staff will provide snacks and tea.

Qihou also found that those people were holding a wooden signboard with heavenly stems and earthly branches engraved on it. The eunuch asked the staff at the door and found out that it was called a "number plate" and looked like It was similar to the tooth badge and waist badge later on. The number plate was designed by Wu Jiu himself and carved by a craftsman. It looks very beautiful and high-grade, but it is actually just a piece of broken wood, mainly used as a voucher for queuing.

Qi Hou glanced at it, and suddenly found that many people sitting on the bench were people he knew. There were many nobles with the surname Jiang, and it was inconvenient for him to stay here, so he asked the eunuch to get a number plate. Leave here and go to other places, and come back after the number.

The eunuch said anxiously: "Your Majesty, you can't, the people inside have said, rearrange the pass numbers!"

Qihou said in surprise: "Rearrange the pass number? What do you mean?"

The eunuch explained: "The people inside call the number on the number plate. If you are not there after calling, you need to line up again and continue from the end of the line."

Qi Hou choked up for a moment, so big?After all, most of the people here are nobles, and there are gentry and landlords who have too much food at home. So many people who can't be offended, how can they be so honest and rearranged?It's just unbelievable.

Qihou really had nothing to do, but there were so many people here, I was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he walked away first, thinking that he would come back later to have a look, there couldn't always be so many people.

Coincidentally, after Qihou came back in an hour, it happened to be afternoon, not lunch time, but there were a lot of people, and their numbers had already passed. Fortunately, those acquainted nobles were gone, look Woke up full of wine and food and left.

Qihou asked the eunuch to take the number again, and then waited to get ready to call the number. Although the pancake shop looks luxurious, but the speed of eating is very fast, so the table is turned over very quickly. Qihou looked at the crowd in Wuyang Wuyang , I thought I would have to wait until night for supper, but I didn't expect to be there in half an hour.

A very decent-looking and well-dressed welcome boy introduced them in, greeted them with a smile all the way, and reminded them to be careful of bumps and so on. In short, the process of welcoming guests was very refreshing.

After passing a corridor full of flowers on both sides, and then an arch bridge with small bridges and flowing water, they finally entered the hall. The huge hall was filled with table cases, and each table case was covered by a screen, turning into a semi-private room. .

Qihou walked in with Yingbin, and sat down at a very inconspicuous table. The brother Yingbin handed over a small wooden sign, which was the menu sign, but the menu sign cannot be ordered, it is all written As for the name of the side dishes, you can choose the noodles of the pancakes and the taste of soy milk.

What red bean soy milk, fruity soy milk, floral soy milk, etc., there are always soy milk.

Qi Hou took a closer look, okay, a bowl of soy milk, a very small bowl, looks very delicate, about two sips of booze, and five buckets of grain!

A pancake is one-third smaller than the pancakes Qi Hou usually eats, and it looks exquisite and miniature, yet it costs half a stone of grain!

The welcome brother also warmly introduced that if you buy a set meal, you will get two bowls of soy milk for two pancakes, and you only need one stone of food in total, but this soy milk is ordinary sweet soy milk, and you can’t choose the taste of soy milk.

Qihou immediately felt that this shop might be a black shop, but the nobles and gentry next to him ate with relish, and he wished his table was full of pancakes and soy milk.

Qihou doesn't know, because this store is really a petty bourgeoisie, and it uses Qihou to advertise, so the gentry and nobles who come here come to compare their wealth. Whoever orders more can show off their wealth, even though they are all half-private rooms. , but who doesn't know if there is a disturbance in the hall?

And order more, and there are little surprises, such as hawthorn slices for you, naturally many people began to compete.

Qihou wandered around all afternoon, and he was really hungry, so he ordered some, and soon someone placed an order, and then brought Qihou a plate of candied haws, which was not the same as the skewers eaten in the palace, they were scattered The ones on the plate, after all, the tongs are very dangerous, so it is not good to give them to the guests, so as not to hurt them.

Qihou looked down at the candied haws on the table, and suddenly thought...is there a shortage of pancakes?

After Qihou ate the candied haws, the pancakes came out of the pan, and they were placed in a delicate vessel, and there was even a plate. After all, Wu Jiaojue felt that the pancakes were too small and the plate was a bit big, so he let The staff put a flower on the edge of each plate, and then wrote a blessing with the sauce, so that with the presentation, it looks even taller.

The pancakes are fragrant, and they are eaten with side dishes. There is also a bowl of sweet soy milk. Qi Hou likes to eat this, and it feels more delicious than the usual pancakes.

Just when Qihou was eating with relish, someone came in yelling and said, "Let grandpa wait, do you know who grandpa is? Special envoy of Cai Guo! You make me wait, can you bear it?" ?!"

When Marquis Qi heard this, he frowned. How could it be this Cai Guolai's special envoy again? Cai Guo really didn't have anyone, so he sent such a blind person.

The man sat down next to Qihou, but he didn't see Qihou at all. After all, there was a screen blocking him. After he took his seat, he yelled, "Hurry up, serve the food, grandpa is going to be hungry." .”

The welcome was still very polite, with the full name of smiling face, and he didn't let Special Envoy Cai Guo find out what was wrong, so he went down to welcome the guests quickly, and someone put out side dishes.

The special envoy of Cai Guo seemed to have finally found a chance to find fault, so he immediately yelled "Ouch!!!" and then directly "Boom!" kicked the screen, and the screen almost fell on Qihou's screen.

There was such a big commotion here, everyone turned their heads to look over, the special envoy of Cai Guo stood up, "Wow!!!" He kicked over the desk case, stepped on the case and said, "Damn it! What the hell, you guys! There were stones in the dish, which broke my front teeth! Ouch, it hurts!"

Several people looked over, and those who were close could see clearly that the man had no front teeth, both of which were chipped, but upon closer inspection, there was no bleeding, and there were no teeth on the ground, as if they had fallen out a long time ago. .

Indeed, it has been lost for a long time. Half a month ago, Cai Guo's special envoy molested the country's female concubine by the lake. No, it is almost time to call Mrs. Huben Lang now, but Hu Zi punched out two front teeth directly.

The special envoy of Cai Guo held a grudge, he didn't dare to provoke Hu Zi, he was a tough guy after all, he didn't dare to provoke him even more, and the special envoy of Chen Guo lived reclusively, he didn't leave the post house, he had no place to provoke him.

Immediately thought of Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiu is just a past son, and now he has no official position, nor any identity. To put it bluntly, he is just an idle nobleman, so the special envoy of the State of Cai wanted to kick the embassy.

After casually taking a bite of the side dish, he said that he broke his front teeth, and kicked over the screen and the table as soon as he came up.

It was chaotic outside, everyone was watching the excitement, Cai Guo special envoy just wanted to make Wu Jiao look bad, and let out this bad breath.

Wu Jiu heard the commotion outside. He was counting the food in the back warehouse. The restaurant was still in the trial operation stage, and the warehouse was already full of food. It was a huge profit.

Yan E hurried in, her face turned pale with fright, and said, "My lord, the special envoy of Cai Guo came to find fault with you last time!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu said, "Go out and have a look."

When Wu Jiao walked out with Ziqing and Yan'e, the special envoy of Cai Guo outside was still shouting. He obviously came prepared, and he brought several thugs with him. Seeing Wu Jiao, he threw a plate over. , threw it at Wu Jiu's feet, and said viciously: "Young Master Qi, let me tell you first, your dish broke my front teeth, if you don't give me some explanation, I will tear it down today. Your shop! Just watch and do it!"

Wu Jiao walked over slowly, not in a hurry, and said, "The special envoy's front teeth, why did my cabbage fall out?"

Envoy Cai Guo's face drooped, and he said, "It's your food, don't talk so much nonsense! You must give me an explanation today...or else?"

He said, looking at Yan'e who was behind Wu Jiu, he immediately smiled wretchedly, and said, "Otherwise, you can give me the little girl behind you to be stubborn, grandpa, I like small ones, that's not bad."

Yan'e was taken aback, Wu Jiao stopped her behind, the special envoy of Cai Guo couldn't see Yan'e, looked at Wu Jiu again and said, "Hey, are you still acting like a hero? That's good, you can sleep with grandpa for a while." At night, it’s okay, look at your skinny skin and tender flesh, and your baby is also lovely, looking at it makes grandpa feel itchy, ah ha ha ha, what do you think?"

Wu Jiu's face darkened, and he immediately said coldly: "Since Special Envoy Cai's skin is itchy, don't blame Jiu for letting you loosen the skin."

As he said that, Cai Guo didn't believe it, and laughed, and said, "No one else wants it, so I want your little tender hand to loosen the skin for grandpa."

He was talking nasty words, when he heard someone next to him gasp suddenly, and then many people said "Shuh!", then turned their eyes to the other side, and saw a person standing slowly behind the screen Get up and walk over without haste.

The man was wearing dark purple clothes today, with a white four-finger wide jade belt around his waist and a purple jade crown on his head. He looked tall and straight. The purple clothes did not set off his thinness, but made him tough It perfectly complements the densely muscular body.

Following the gasp of the crowd, Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, and it turned out to be Marquis Qi!

But Qihou's clothes today are really coquettish. He is dressed in purple. Although it is dark purple, it should look quite low-key, but he is born with a kind of extravagance, which makes him look different.

Qihou stood up, walked over slowly, and said with a smile: "Who will give you the loose skin? Well, come here alone, what do you think Cai Guote envoy would like?"

Cai Guo's special envoy was frightened at once, and the nobles who knew Qihou quickly knelt down and shouted to see the king, and some noble gentry who only had money and had never seen the world were also quite excited, and quickly knelt down and called to the king.

Wu Jiu didn't know that Qi Hou also came to eat pancakes, he was a little dumbfounded, and his eyes hurt because of Qi Hou's outfit, it looks good, but he always feels that he is not a serious person, usually wearing black is at most boring , now it looks like Ming Sao...

How did Cai Guo's special envoy know that he had kicked the stone on the rock, and it was still a hard rock. He was dumbfounded immediately, and quickly apologized and said, "The villain pays homage to the king of Qi."

Qihou smiled, but his voice was very indifferent, and said, "I dare not be that."

Special Envoy Cai's face was covered in cold sweat, and he heard Qi Hou say again: "Gu Fang just listened to it once, is Special Envoy Cai talking about his front teeth?"

When Special Envoy Cai Guo heard this, he quickly said, "No, no! The villain...the villain is saying...this...the pancakes are really delicious."

Qi Hou said with a smile: "The pancakes are delicious, and Cai Guo's special envoy kicked over the table. This Cai Guo's etiquette is really eye-opening?"

Special Envoy Cai Guo quickly said: "No, no, that's not the case, it's... the villain was excited for a moment, and accidentally... accidentally knocked over the table."

As he said, he quickly lifted the table case up, but the things on it had been spilled all over the floor, and the soup slipped down from the table case.

Qi Hou smiled coldly and said: "There are so many people here today, and Cai Guo's special envoy knocked over the table case. I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on Cai Guo. , Gu will not say anything, just clean up quickly."

Cai Guo's special envoy quickly responded, "Yes!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and said to the thugs beside him, "Hurry up and clean it up!?"

Those thugs were about to respond, but Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Hey, whoever knocks over will clean it up. Come here and give Special Envoy Cai a brand new rag."

Soon someone brought a new rag, Wu Jiu took the rag and threw it at the feet of Special Envoy Cai.

Cai Guo's special envoy's face was really ugly, Qi Hou saw it, and almost laughed, this Wu Jiu is really a type of revenge, don't look gentle on the outside, he seems to be a master who doesn't hold grudges, but he remembers it clearly in his heart Chu.

Just now Special Envoy Cai threw a plate in front of Wu Jiao's feet, now Wu Jiu threw a dishcloth in front of Special Envoy Cai, and Special Envoy Cai had to bend down to pick it up.

Seeing that Cai Guo's special envoy's face turned from white to blue, then turned black again, and finally turned black like the bottom of a pot, but there was no way, so he bent down to pick up the rag, and then began to wipe the stains on the ground.

There are gentry and aristocrats all around, especially now, the envoys of many countries have not left yet, and they also come here to eat the special pancakes of Qi State. In the end, they watched a good show and saw Cai Guo's jokes for free.

After Qihou had taught Cai Guo's special envoy, he didn't leave, but returned to his seat. His pancakes had just been served and he hadn't finished eating, so Wu Jiao had no choice but to go there. After all, he had to thank Qihou for his help.

Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qihou smiled and said, "Huh? Just thank you verbally? I'm afraid the second brother is too dishonest."

Wu Jiu bit the bullet and said, "Then... Jiu will give you a free order? And give you two pancakes?"

Qi Hou was almost vomited blood by Wu Jiu for a moment. Although the pancakes were indeed expensive, but free order and free pancakes would really look down on Qi Hou.

Qi Hou shook his head and said: "As for the gift, I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it when I think about it."

Wu Jiao thought it would be better to give pancakes, after all, if Marquis Qi didn't say anything, Wu Jiao was afraid that he would have a bad time in the future...

Qi Hou finished eating the pancakes, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, drank another bowl of fruit tea, and then said: "By the way, Gu almost forgot, I have something to say to my second brother, let's go, go back to the palace with Gu go."

Wu Jiu had no choice but to go back with Qi Hou. When he arrived at the palace, it happened to be time for dinner, but Qi Hou was full, so he brought Wu Jiu back to the Political Affairs Hall and asked him to sit down.

Qi Hou said unhurriedly: "I am looking for my second brother this time, because I have an important matter and I need to ask my second brother's opinion."

Wu Jiu didn't know what was going on, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me."

Qihou said: "The second brother must have known about the death of Emperor Zhou, right?"

When Wu Jiu heard this, he wondered if Marquis Qi asked him to go to the funeral?

Qi Hou said slowly: "Now the Zhou Dynasty's obituary is coming soon, and we need to start the journey immediately. One is the route problem. After all, the Great Qi Kingdom and Zhou Dynasty's Luoshi are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, so we need to borrow from their country. Son, the other one is the question of candidates, who does the second brother think is the most suitable to send?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu said, "Naturally, it's Da Si Xing."

Qi Hou laughed and said, "Okay."

Wu Jiu thought that Marquis Qi had accepted it, so he heard Marquis Qi say, "You and Xi Peng are thinking of going together."

Wu Jiu didn't understand, Qi Hou continued: "Second brother recommended by Xi Peng, Xi Peng recommended by second brother."

Wu Jiu lowered his head slightly when he heard this, and secretly restrained his expression, thinking that Gongsun Xipeng was cheating himself. Although it is a great honor to go to the Zhou Dynasty for the funeral, it can be said to be a great honor, and it can also win over the envoys of various countries.

But Wu Jiaozhi is not here. His newly opened pancake shop has been filled with a granary in just half a month. Mountains and rivers went to the Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhou Dynasty was in Luoshi, and Qi State was in Linzi. On this road, at least four countries could be crossed to reach Zhou Dynasty Luoshi.It seems that Tang Sanzang's ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties in learning the scriptures, if he is not serious, he will be blamed.

The journey is far away and the risk factor is high, Wu Jiu doesn't want to go, he just wants to stay in Linzi city and sell pancakes...

Qi Hou said with a smile: "In front of Gu, Xi Peng greatly praised the second brother, saying that the second brother is calm and prudent, and he is a person who can achieve great things."

When Wu Jiu heard this, he thought to himself again, why did he hear that Qi Hou had something in his words?

Qi Hou praised Wu Jiu a lot, and said: "I just thought, since Xi Peng has praised a person so much, then this person must be good, so I decided to let my second brother go to the Zhou Dynasty to attend the funeral."

Wu Jiu's heart suddenly turned cold, and Qi Hou continued: "Gu knows that this mission is extremely difficult, and he will definitely meet with the envoys of Lu, so don't worry about the second brother, Gu will also be in charge."

Wu Jiu's only three or two points in his heart are also cold, so Qihou himself is going too?Isn't that binding yourself under his nose?

Wu Jiu couldn't refuse either, he just said lightly: "Thank you for your love, Jiu should do his best."

Qi Hou smiled and said: "With the words of the second brother, Gu can rest assured. The second brother is ready to prepare, and he will set off soon."

Wu Jiu clasped his fists and said, "Yes."

Wu Jiu didn't expect that he would be tired after traveling for so many days, and this time he was going to Zhou Dynasty instead of going to a place so close to Ju and Lu.

On the way, you have to pass through Lu Guo, Guo Guo, Wei Guo and Zheng Guo, and finally reach the Zhou Dynasty.

Among them, Lu Guo and Guo Guo are fortunate to say that they are some small neighboring countries, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Unlike Tan Guo, who thinks he has senior qualifications, he will not sell Qi Hou's face, and will definitely lend it to Qi Hou honestly.

But Wei Guo and Zheng Guo are a bit difficult to deal with. Logically speaking, Wei Guo is an in-law and friend state of Qi State. Qi Hou's biological mother is the daughter of Wei Guo, and Qi Hou has half of the blood of Wei Guo's nobles.

Qihou's older sister, Xuan Jiang, also married into Weiguo, and now Qihou's concubine, Wei Ji, is also a daughter of Weiguo's marriage. This marriage relationship can be described as overlapping, and logically speaking, it should be very close.

But Qihou just sent Shaowei Ji back to Weiguo, which is a great shame and humiliation. Although Weiguo didn't make any comments, I don't know what Weiguo thinks.

What's more, Weiguo and the neighboring Zhengguo are two big countries, so they are naturally incompatible, and they often fight over land matters.

If you pass by the state of Wei, I'm afraid Zheng will make things difficult for you, but if you don't pass by the state of Zheng, then there will be some small countries next to the state of Wei, so there will be more countries passing by, and it will be more troublesome.

Just thinking about it, Wu Jiu felt a headache. Fortunately, the main force this time was not himself, but Qihou himself, and Wu Jiu was just a strategist.

In a few days, the obituary special envoy of the Zhou Dynasty arrived. A few months later, the new emperor Hu Qi will hold a grand funeral ceremony for the deceased Emperor Zhou in the Luo division, and all countries will arrange envoys to go.

Qihou is a reborn person, he naturally knows how important this funeral ceremony is to him, last time he did not go there in person, but asked Guan Yiwu to go to the funeral instead of him, but now it is different, Qihou wants to take advantage of it During this funeral, they put pressure on the new Emperor Zhou to justifiably cede the territory of Lu State to themselves to make amends.

Qihou's grand plan and hegemony in his previous life were all started five years later by the Beixinghuimeng. Now that he has lived again, Qihou intends to hold the Beixinghuimeng of "respecting the king and fighting the barbarians" in advance to consolidate his position and achieve ahead of schedule. Qi's overlord status.

Therefore, for this funeral, Qihou must do it himself.

Although Zhou Tianzi represents the authority, it seems that no princes do the funeral by themselves. After all, it is very dangerous to borrow excuses. Mrs. Xi borrowed Cai Guo and was molested by Cai Gong. Jin Guo borrowed Tao Yu When Guo Guo attacked Guo State, Yu State was taken by hand. A monarch must not bring too many soldiers and horses in other countries, otherwise he will not be passed through. It is quite dangerous. Who knows if he will be Take it hostage?

Aren't many princes throughout the ages all complacent, ran out of their lairs, and were cut off with a sword?Qi Xianggong Zhu'er was like this. He just ran out of Linzi City to hunt, but he was chopped down by Gongsun Wuzhi.

The same is true of Gongsun Wuzhi, who went out to play for a few days, and was beheaded by Yonglin before he went out, not to mention that Qihou was going to go abroad, which was extremely dangerous.

Going to the funeral is not an easy matter. Qi Hou summoned Gongsun Xipeng to discuss it carefully, and brought the best Huben army, and there must be no mistakes.

Wu Jiu has also made sufficient preparations for safety issues in the past few days, and checked the four countries that need to be excused. Of course, many words are too uncommon. It's because reading words hurts the mind, and I need to refresh myself.

What hurt Wu Jiu's self-esteem was that although Yan'e was only 12 years old, she was still a little girl, but Yan'e knew all the characters, and she seemed to be a little educated.

Yan'e said that after entering the palace, she learned from an old court lady in the clothes washing department. The old court lady was very knowledgeable, and she usually taught her a little bit, but the other court ladies didn't want to learn it. After all, they were women, so they thought they had learned. It was useless at all, but Yan'e found it interesting, so she learned some.

The more modestly Yan E spoke, the more illiterate and frustrated Wu Jiu felt...

Lu Guo and Guo Guo are easy to deal with. They are small countries, and they are very friendly to Qi Guo. After all, they have to survive.

Logically speaking, it would be more convenient for them to pass through the country of Tan and then through the country of Guo. They don't need to go to the country of Lu, but because the country of Tan is quite rude to the country of Qi.

When Qihou was a son, he once fled to the country of Tan, but he was very politely rejected by Mr. Tan, and finally fled to the country of Ju.

Later, when Marquis Qi succeeded to the throne, the princes of all countries congratulated him, and even Duke Lu sent congratulatory gifts. Minister, it can be said to be rude again.

The country of Tan, wishing to be as big as Linzi City, the capital of Qi, has a small territory, but is so "tough". In fact, it has always made Wu Jiao very strange.

Wu Jiu was doing homework recently, so he understood a little bit.

First of all, Tan State is an economic center. The reason why the Marquis of Qi chose Tan State first when he fled is because Tan State is closer to Qi State than Ju State. The problem of the road is an important reason, and there is another important reason. That is, the country of Tan is a big economic country. Although the territory is small, it is rich in materials and is the economic hub of neighboring countries.

The survival of the country Tan is entirely due to its developed economy. The neighboring countries all need to import materials from the country Tan and rely on the materials from the country Tan, which is why the country Tan is so "tough".

However, except for the economy, the rest of the country of Tan is not developed, especially the military, but their attitude is still tough, and this starts with Tan Gong.

Tan Gong is more than ninety years old this year. Wu Jiu was startled when he heard it. There was such a long-lived person in ancient times?Qihou is already a long-lived monarch, but he didn't live to be as old as 90 years old.

Tan Gong's qualifications are very old, how old is he?He and Qihou's grandfather belonged to the same generation. When the first emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou Ping, moved his capital to Luoshi, Tan Gong had already worked with the emperor of Zhou, and he proposed the idea of ​​"respecting the king and restraining hegemony" to the emperor of Zhou, which means respecting the emperor of Zhou. , Against the big and powerful countries.

On the one hand, Tan Gong’s qualifications are really old enough. His son, the prince, is in his 70s and has not succeeded to the throne, so he is really an old prince. On the other hand, Qi State itself is a big and powerful country. It's so big, not because the territory that Zhou Tianzi canonized to Jiang Taigong was so big, but that it was annexed by later generations.

Therefore, Tan Gong felt that Qi State itself was at odds with his ideas, so he refused to have friendly exchanges with Qi State.

These series of reasons made Tan Guo very "arrogant".

About half a month later, the funeral procession will leave. The reason why they leave so early is because they are afraid that something will happen on the road that will delay the funeral. It would be very unfortunate if the special envoy of the princes did not arrive auspicious.

This time the team was unprecedentedly spectacular. Qi Hou personally sat in the town, Wu Jiu was the special envoy, Sun Xipeng, the grand secretary, was in charge of the Huben army, and Guan Yiwu was promoted to Shangqing doctor, accompanied by Bao Shuya, and summoned Hu Dongguoya. At the same time, he was promoted to Zhongdafu, and Cao GUI was named a general.

In the kingdom, there are Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong, two loyal supervisors of the state, sitting in the town, leaving Huben Army Zhonglang to guard the city.

The team set off soon, and the accompanying tiger army couldn't see the end at a glance. Dozens of black chariots were passing by, with tributes to the emperor of Zhou piled up on them, and there were also "benefit fees" for borrowing.

After the team set off, the first person to pass by was the State of Lu. As expected, the State of Lu was very humble. Not only did he not ask for the benefits of the State of Qi, but he also offered a lot of delicacies to the Marquis of Qi.

In order to hurry, the team saved the rest of the time, but stopped in Lu State for two short days. After the Lord of Lu State received the wind, he hurried on the road.

After passing through Guo Guo, Guo Guo did not make things difficult for Qi's team. Although he was not as humble as Lu Guo, he passed smoothly.

Wu Jiu was shaking all kinds of meat and vegetables on the black car, and he was about to vomit. After leaving the border of Guo State and entering Wei State, the distance of the convoy was significantly reduced. After all, Wei State is a big country, and they expected to stop here In half a month, you have to make full facial preparations.

After the convoy entered Weiguo, it slowed down slowly. Wu Jiao felt that this was better, but his face was still very ugly. After walking for a few days, he arrived at the capital of Weiguo, where there was a queue of posthouses to greet him.

Outside the gate of Weiguo City, post houses lined up on the left and right sides, and a young man stood in the middle to greet him, wearing a doctor's clothes.

Wu Jiu raised the curtain of the car and took a look. He didn't know who it was, but he was quite young, and he looked refined and refined.

Qihou and Wu Jiu were still in the same car, seeing Wu Jiao looking out, he also poked his head in for a look, then he seemed to find it boring, so he sat back and said with a faint smile, "My lord is naughty."

Wu Jiu heard the name of this man reported by Marquis Qi, and immediately knew who this young man was. He was a very famous man in the history of Wei, not because of his achievements, but because of this man, who married His "stepmother".

Speaking of Weiguo, I can't finish talking about Fengyue in one day. Wen Jiang's sister Xuan Jiang is beautiful and charming.
