Chapter 52
Wu Jiu looked at Qi Hou and said, "What does your lord want Jiu to do?"
Qihou smiled and said: "It's nothing, Guzhi's second brother has a close relationship with Xi Peng, and the second brother also has sharp teeth. If the second brother persuades Xi Peng, he will definitely listen."
Wu Jiu looked at Qi Hou suspiciously, and said, "Just persuasion?"
Qi Hou said: "Naturally, it is to understand the benefits and harms, and to persuade him with kind words. After all, Gu is also for the good of Xi Peng. The second brother only needs to ask Xi Peng to swear, it doesn't matter. It's nothing more than a verbal oath. Gu will do it today." How about going into the palace, meeting Zheng Bo, and asking him to marry the daughter of the prime minister to the person she likes?"
Wu Jiu felt that he really got into a hole. Qihou just wanted to use himself to persuade Gongsun Xipeng, perhaps because Gongsun Xipeng was a stubborn person, although he was loyal to Qihou and helped Qihou find out many things. Yi Ya's inside story, but still can't let go of this feeling.
In the end, Gongsun Xipeng was also in pain, no wonder he was a little hesitant when he spoke before, and he always laughed at himself. Wu Jiu thought that it was only because they were men that Gongsun Xipeng felt that his feelings had no thought and laughed at himself.
The Baidi people and Chidi people, etc., are collectively called Beidi because they are in the north of Zhou Tianzi's control area. They are ethnic minorities in the northern part of ancient China. Most of them hunt near Jin and Qin because they don't have their own cities. , so it is relatively scattered, and no serious country has been established, but its strength cannot be underestimated.
Speaking of Bai Di people, there is a concept that is difficult to understand. The image is very vague, but there is a general concept of barbarism and bravery. In fact, the meaning of "Di people" is recorded in "Book of Rites and Kingship", which was for Zhou Tianzi at that time. , People in the east of the Zhou Dynasty were called barbarians, because in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, places like Qi State were also barren lands. They are all nobles with foreign surnames, which cannot be called nobles in the eyes of Zhou Tianzi, and the countries near Zhou State, that is, the countries in the interior, are all nobles with the surname Ji, such as Zheng Guowei, Zheng Hewei is their small clan clan, their The big clans all have the surname Ji.
Another example is the state of Chu, which is not under the control of the Emperor Zhou. To the Di people, the state of Chu is just an extra country for them. In the eyes of Emperor Zhou, the state of Chu is a southern barbarian. They are ordinary people, and they are all group forces outside the rule of Zhou Tianzi.
It's just that in Duke Huan of Qi's political philosophy of "respecting the king and fighting against barbarians", Chu State is too powerful. Although he is also a kind of "barbarians", he is really unable to attack. In the end, the war was peacefully terminated by the alliance, so this "barbarian" was planned as the Rong people in the west and the Di people in the north.
In the history of Qi State, there are also records of Bai Di people harassing the border of Qi State. For Bai Di people and Qi State, they are two different forces. Their forces are potentially dangerous, just like Qi State and Wei State. Although the two countries do not border each other, and although there are overlapping in-law relationships, everyone wants to annex each other. If there is a slight possibility, they will definitely not be relentless.
Seeing that Wu Jiu didn't speak, Qi Hou smiled and said, "Second elder brother is someone who understands these things. If Wu Yong is really the prince of the Di people, then Gu can save his life. After all, the value is extraordinary. , but now Yong Wu is not the prince of the Di people, to put it bluntly, he is not even as good as a grain of millet to Bai Di, let alone a war horse or an ox, right?"
Wu Jiu thought to himself, this is true. Since ancient times, the winners are princes and the losers are bandits. Yi Ya has failed in the ambush now. He is not the real Prince Baidi. Even if he is the real prince, he is not the prince. Baidi people He will definitely not save him, just discard it after using it, and for Qi, a secret work that is not a prince or a nobleman is useless.
Wu Jiu understood what Qihou meant. Qihou wanted to use Yi Ya to make an example, and that's why he "forced" Gongsun Xipeng to swear an oath to make him stop thinking about it completely.
Wu Jiujue, Qi Hou really "has good intentions", he jumped into the pit himself, there is no reason not to agree to Qi Hou to lobby Gongsun Xipeng.
Wu Jiu said: "Jiao understands the truth, but Jiu can only do his best."
Qi Hou said with a smile: "Second brother just does his best, I know Xi Peng's character well, so I just do my best."
Wu Jiu quickly withdrew. After quitting, he thought to himself, what a mistake, he got up so early in the morning and went into the dining room, made a big pancake for Qihou to feed Qihou, but ended up losing the pancake. Zhebing, in fact, Qihou has something to ask of himself, and if he knew it would be like this, he would not make pancakes for him.
Wu Jiu went back to his room, thought hard for a while, and decided to tell the truth, so he got up and went to find Gongsun Xipeng.
Gongsun Xipeng was practicing sword in the courtyard outside the house, his movements were fierce and full of momentum, he was shirtless, his body was bronze-colored, and under the winter sun, it was almost shining.
Wu Jiu walked over from a distance, and saw Gongsun Xipeng who was sweating all over in winter. He was really envious of Gongsun Xipeng's muscles, and couldn't help touching his abdomen secretly, thinking that he hadn't seen Qihou either. How to practice swords, why does he have muscles, could it be that his physique is different?
When Wu Jiao walked over, Gongsun Xipeng noticed it immediately, quickly put the sword aside, then put on his outer shirt, wiped his sweat with the outer shirt, smiled and said, "Master."
Wu Jiu also smiled, but it was just a dry joke, after all he fell into the trick of Marquis Qi, and he came to lobby Gongsun Xipeng again.
Wu Jiu said: "Jiao has brought good news to Da Sixing."
When Gongsun Xipeng heard this, he was surprised and said, "Young Master, did you really succeed? Has Your Majesty taken it back?"
Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty said that you can enter the palace today and talk to Zheng Gong about the marriage offer."
When Gongsun Xipeng heard this, he immediately beamed with joy and said, "That...that would be great!"
As he was speaking, he saw Wu Jiao's expression of hesitation, and couldn't help feeling a little chilly in his heart, he laughed and said, "My lord, just speak up, what else did your majesty say."
Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty also said that there is a prerequisite, and that is to ask the chief minister to make an oral oath."
Gongsun Xipeng said in surprise, "Does your lord believe in Xipeng's loyalty?"
Wu Jiu sighed and said, "It's not this oath, but it made you stop thinking about Yong Wu."
When Gongsun Xipeng heard this, his expression gradually became clear, and his smile disappeared. I don't know if it was because of sword practice, or because of something else, his breathing gradually became heavy, as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, Gongsun Xipeng narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and suddenly pulled out his hand to pick up the saber next to him. With a sound of "Hoo--", the sword swung sideways, and Gongsun Xipeng's fingers immediately bled. It was a deep cut.
"Bang!" Gongsun Xipeng knelt down on the ground, facing east, with a very low and hoarse voice, and said, "Xi Peng swears in the name of Zhuang Gong's great-grandson that from today onwards, he will have no more love for Yongwu." Think about it, if you break this oath... ten thousand arrows will pierce your heart!"
Wu Jiu looked at Gongsun Xipeng's back, shook his head, and said, "Please get up, sir, and Jiu will reply to you now."
Gongsun Xipeng listened to the sound of Wu Jiu walking away for a long time, then he threw the saber in his hand "Kang Dang" and stood up from the ground. His hand naturally dropped, and his fingers were still bleeding, but Gongsun Xipeng didn't even look at it. at a glance...
Qi Hou went to the palace that day to talk to Zheng Bo about this matter. Although Zheng Bo felt that Qi Hou was going against his word, but because Zheng Guo was no longer as powerful as before, he couldn't challenge Qi Hou at all.
In addition, Qi Hou really accepted that strong man as his adopted son and made him a son. Although Zheng Guo felt that this son was a bit cheaper, he accepted it unsatisfactorily. The wedding will be held soon.
The wedding was held within half a month, and everyone attended the wedding. After her husband's calculations, what Yongji wanted now was a stable home. She no longer wanted to decide between her husband and father. Such a marriage, It's also perfect.
After the wedding banquet was over, Zheng Bo personally sent Qi Hou and Wu Jiu's team to leave the capital. Zheng Bo wanted to send Qi Hou some beauties, but Qi Hou refused, and Zheng Bo had no choice.
The team left the capital city of Zheng State and headed straight for Zhou State. On the way, it was unknown whether it was because Qihou had just attended a wedding banquet, or because of Gongsun Xipeng's oath. In short, Qihou was in a very good mood and always spoke with a smile on his face. , I can't wait to laugh out the laugh lines overnight, Wu Jiu shuddered watching it.
As for Gongsun Xipeng, he didn't see any difference at all, and he was still the same as usual, and he didn't see any difference in his words and deeds.
They walked all the way to the state of Zhou without incident, and soon entered the suburbs of Luoshi, the capital of the state of Zhou.
Because they came earlier, and Wu Jiu suffered from motion sickness, so Qihou asked people to slow down the driving speed and walked forward slowly.
Wu Jiu was not very comfortable being shaken by the car, and his face was very ugly. Seeing that his face was really bad, Qihou raised the curtain to look, and Yan'e, who was following the car outside, quickly followed, and said, "Your Majesty?"
Qihou looked around. Although it was early winter, the suburbs of Luoshi looked pretty good. There was an illusion that autumn was breezy. In addition, it was not cold in Japan today, and there was still gurgling water outside, and the few plants beside the water were still intact. There are many trees with clean leaves, and the scenery looks really good.
So Qihou said: "Order to stop and rest here."
Yan E hurried over to tell the chief executive in front of him, Gongsun Xipeng, and Gongsun Xipeng immediately sent an order: "Stop the car! Rest where you are!"
They were already about to enter the Luo division, but they stopped suddenly, but Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, he was about to be shaken apart, although the black cars these days are quite gorgeous, but they are made of bronze, and it really hurts when they bump up. human life.
Seeing his pale face, Qihou said, "Second brother, get out of the car and take a breath?"
Wu Jiu nodded again and again, and quickly got up to get off the car, but when he got up, he suddenly felt his feet go limp, and he knelt down again with a "gudong".
Qihou was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I don't see Second Brother doing such a grand ceremony on weekdays, what's the matter today?"
Wu Jiao was made fun of by Qi Hou, but he is really uncomfortable now, and he has no time to talk to him, who knows that Qi Hou said, suddenly came over, and even grabbed Wu Jiao with both hands, hugging him horizontally.
"Ho!"
Wu Jiu was startled, and quickly grabbed Qi Hou's neck to prevent him from falling off. The two of them were very close, and Wu Jiu who was so close could see the scar on Qi Hou's cheek clearly. After such a long time, the scar It has faded several times, but I can still see it.
Wu Jiu's eyes widened. He was not the almond eyes of a beauty, but a pair of red phoenix eyes, hooked inside and turned up outside. When he was thinking about things, his light was compelling, and he had an indescribably pleasing and heroic spirit.
Wu Jiu opened his red phoenix eyes like walnuts, which made Qi Hou laugh.
Qihou lowered his head slightly, and whispered in Wu Jiu's ear, "Second brother, don't move, if you move, we will all fall out of the car."
Wu Jiao was blown into his ears by his breath, his whole body swayed for a moment, and goosebumps rose up. Logically speaking, because Qihou always moves his hands and feet, Wu Jiao has basically been immune to him. At most, Wu Jiao wiped it secretly twice after doing his hands and feet.
However, at the moment, Wu Jiu felt a sudden tremor in his body, an inexplicable discomfort, and suddenly his body stiffened, stiff like a stick in Qihou's arms.
Seeing that he was honest, Marquis Qi hugged Wu Jiu, got out of the carriage, and jumped out of the car.
When everyone saw that Marquis Qi got out of the car, he just hugged Wu Jiu's car, and Wu Jiu's face was pale, so they didn't feel surprised, they just came to ask: "Do you need a medical officer, my lord?"
Qihou hugged Wu Jiu and walked down, then put him down gently, and said with a smile: "Second brother is too weak, come, come and relax by the river."
Marquis Qi waved his hand and signaled Wu Jiu to go over. Although the air by the river was really fresh and the scenery was quite unique, Wu Jiu really didn't want to go there because it was very cold and the wind by the water was a bit hard.
Standing by the water, Qihou raised his head slightly, hands behind his back, and the winter wind blew across his cheeks. He rolled up his temple hair with a sound of "huh--" and his black robe was fluttering in the cold wind. Handsome and charming.
It's just that Wu Jiao was not in the mood to watch Qi Hou shivering, because it was too cold, Wu Jiao quickly shrank back and rubbed his hands, Qi Hou looked back, saw Wu Jiao shrunk into a small bun, and suddenly didn't like it. Hold back a laugh.
Wu Jiao was puzzled, they came to attend the funeral, and Qihou was in such a good mood, so he wasn't afraid of being criticized?
Just as he was wondering, he saw Qihou taking off his black plush cloak. The cloak was black as a whole, embroidered with domineering patterns, but the neckline was surrounded by white hair. If you put it on, it will definitely look short and frustrating. If someone with a bad figure wears it, it will definitely look like a moving funeral wreath, but when Qihou wears it, it will look particularly imposing.
Qihou untied the cloak and put it on Wu Jiu's back. Because the cloak was too big, he immediately wrapped Wu Jiu up and tied it on the front. It was tightly wrapped from the beginning to the end.
Qihou looked him up and down, then suddenly smiled and lowered his head and said, "Ah... mopping the floor."
Wu Jiu looked down, good guy, this cloak is too long, after all, it was tailored according to Qi Hou's figure, it just reached Qi Hou's ankles, and it was used to block the wind, Wu Jiao just put it on and mopped the floor .
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched several times, thinking that when Qihou was in a bad mood, it would be more painful, but now it's too annoying.
After Qihou finished playing with Wu Jiao, he looked at the river, but the river was not frozen, and when he looked down, there were fish swimming in it.
Qihou looked at the fish in the water and said, "It's been a hard journey, I haven't enjoyed the grilled fish made by my second brother for a long time."
Wu Jiu glanced at the small fry in the water, thinking that such small fish can't be grilled, and they are here for the funeral, not for the autumn outing.
Wu Jiu was thinking about it, when he heard a "wow!", Qihou next to him said, "Second brother, look, there is a big one."
Before Wu Jiu could react, Qi Hou went into the water without making a sound, not only frightened Wu Jiu, but also all the people behind were frightened, thinking that Qi Hou had fallen into the water, they rushed over to rescue him.
In the end, I saw Qihou standing in the water, the river only reached his knees, and didn't go any further. Qihou just stood there, without taking off his clothes, just soaked in the water and stretched out his hands to catch fish.
Wu Jiu was dumbfounded, Qi Hou really did not hesitate to go into the water to fish in winter just to eat grilled fish.
Everyone said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the water is too cold, come up quickly, it's going to catch the wind and chill."
But Qi Hou just waved his hands, bent over to fish in the water, Wu Jiao watched for a while, Qi Hou's movements were very clumsy, he couldn't catch any fish at all, and the small fish in the water swam very fast and slipped through.
Wu Jiu looked at it for a while, then turned to Ziqing and said, "Ziqing, get me a mat."
Ziqing was speechless for a moment, but he threw a mat on the bank and asked Wu Jiu to sit down. Wu Jiao was sitting there. He even made a fire to keep warm, drank the hot water, and placed some dried flowers He dried the fruit to relieve the dry and rusty smell of the water, and watched Qihou standing in the water leisurely fishing for fish.
About half an hour later, Wu Jiu was nestled by the water, numb to the sight, Qihou was still enjoying it, and suddenly said loudly: "Second brother, Gu has been caught!"
Qihou said, with a "crash", he jumped ashore. Wu Jiao saw that it was not a fish fry after all, but it was still quite small.
Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty, this fish is too small, I'm afraid it won't be enough for Your Majesty to eat. How about you go get another one?"
Qi Hou immediately put the fish in the container, then turned his head and went into the water again, everyone watched silently, Wu Jiu snickered behind his back, thinking that Qi Hou was afraid of water, so he could play with this little fish Shuigouzi.
Perhaps because of the feeling of catching fish for the first time, the second fish was caught quickly, but at this time, Qihou's clothes were already wet to the waist, and the black clothes tightly wrapped his slender thighs, and Lean waist.
Accompanied by the sound of "哗啦哗啦", Qi Hou grabbed the fish and walked up from the water. With the surge of the water, the long legs turned out to be unusually long and full of strength and wildness, which made Wu Jiu envious.
A suit of decent clothes, dignified and gorgeous clothes, got wet by Qi Hou, turned into a tights, outlining Qi Hou's tall and straight figure, Wu Jiao felt embarrassed to look at it for a moment, his heart Thinking that it really is not a disease to be bored, it can kill people...
Qihou came up, holding a lively fish in his hand. The fish was quite big, and it kept jumping like a "thunderbolt", and it threw Wu Jiao's face all at once. The fishy smell made Wu Jiu, who is obsessed with cleanliness, feel bad immediately.
I don't know why Qihou is in such a good mood. Seeing Wu Jiu's face darkened, he burst out laughing. The laughing Wu Jiao's face was even darker, but it was not easy to get angry. Yan'e quickly brought the handkerchief and said: " Wipe it quickly, son."
Wu Jiu wiped his face clean, Qihou was still holding onto the fish, as if he couldn't bear to let go, and said with a smile: "Second brother, look, is this fish big enough?"
Wu Jiu really didn't want to talk to him, his face was still full of fishy smell, Qi Hou said again: "This fish is dishonest, just like the second brother, it keeps fighting hard."
Wu Jiu really wanted to stare at him, but Qi Hou even compared himself with a dead fish, and wanted to kick his ass again, and now he misses the days of kicking Qi Hou, but at that time, time was tight, and Wu Jiao didn't think carefully about it. The pleasure at that time seemed to be a flash in the pan, and I really regretted it after a glimpse.
Just when Marquis Qi was making fun of Wu Jiu, the sound of "gululu" wheels approached from far away. They were catching fish by the water, and Qi Bing was resting on the spot beside him. Come here, there is a flag on the car with a word written on it.
- Tan
After seeing it, Marquis Qi knew that this was probably Tan Guo's funeral procession. Judging from the posture, it should not be Tan Gong himself, nor the prince, or just an envoy.
Qi Hou was turning his head to watch, when the curtain of the black chariot inside was opened suddenly, an old man with white hair and white beard looked over and met Qi Hou's gaze.
Qi Hou didn't take it seriously, so he looked back and teased Wu Jiu with the fish, but he didn't know that the car stopped suddenly, not only stopped, but the old man with white hair and beard in the car was still standing still. Get out of the car and walk towards them.
The old man didn't seem to see Qi's army, otherwise he wouldn't have walked over alone. Qi Hou frowned. It is an indisputable fact that Qi and Tan have no contact with each other. Now Tan's special envoy came here Do you want to say hello?
Seeing Qi Hou frowning, Wu Jiao turned his head and saw the old man coming, but Wu Jiao didn't know who the old man was.
The old man came over, followed by an eunuch at the same pace, the old man was smiling, his face was full of wrinkles, he was more than 70 years old by visual inspection, he was definitely old in this day and age, although he was not considered a long-lived man, he was indeed an old man up.
But the old man's gaze is very...
It was very obscene, Wu Jiu felt that he had absolutely no understanding, the old man's face was not rosy anymore, his face was gray, his face was full of wrinkles, and when he smiled, his face was full of creases, but his eyes were "sparkling." Hui", it was so obscene, Wu Jiu's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
I saw the old man looking up and down at Qi Hou behind Wu Jiu, probably because Qi Hou didn't wear court clothes today, he was just wearing casual clothes, plus he was wet all over, and he was holding a fish in his hand, the old man thought he was a soldier or something As a human being, he looked at her unscrupulously.
Immediately, the old man said: "Little brother, you look like a strong guard, how much can you sell it to me?"
When Wu Jiu heard this, he almost burst out laughing. He looked carefully at Qihou's expression. Qihou's expression turned cold when he looked at the red eyes of the old man. During this journey, Qihou had only seen Some people teased Wu Jiu, but no one dared to tease him.
After all, Qihou is tall and his face is not gentle, indeed no one dares to tease him, at most there is a woman who loves Qihou.
As a result, a blind man came today, so the old man continued to say: "I like such a strong man, look at these legs, tsk tsk."
Qihou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot of roasted fish, and he smiled coldly when he heard the old man's comments on him.
Hearing his sneer, the old man's face was full of disdain, and he also lost his temper, and said arrogantly: "I am talking to your master, how can you, a slave, have any reason to interrupt?"
Qihou's face was so cold that he could freeze people, the old man continued: "You don't even ask, who am I?"
Wu Jiu heard that he called himself "my son", and saw the banner with the word "Tan", thinking to himself, could it be the son of Tan Guo?
Tan Gong is the person who assists King Ping of Zhou. He is already a long-lived monarch. The elders of the princes and sons of Tan Guo are all over 70 years old. Many princes can't consume Tan Gong. They have passed away, and the rest can't survive. After a long time, even Tan Gong's grandson died, but Tan Gong's body was quite strong.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "May I ask you?"
The old man laughed and said: "Listen well, I am the son of Tan Guo, you soldier, I will give you five hundred knives, what do you think? Don't toast and eat fine wine!"
The bamboo knife is the currency in circulation in the country of Tan. It is different from the three horizontal stripes of the Qi knife, and has two horizontal stripes on the back. Although Tan is small in size, because of its developed economy, the circulation of the bamboo knife is quite extensive. It can often be seen that it is a kind of hard currency.
Five hundred knives, Wu Jiu felt that Marquis Qi was quite valuable.
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Mr. Tan Guo is really bold. He is worthy of being the son of a great country. His asking price is also generous. For a small soldier, he only asked for [-] knives. This... makes me really unable to retaliate."
When the old man heard this, he thought that Wu Jiao was going to sell Qihou, and said with a smile: "Who made me like this kind of strong man? Haha, if I take it back, it will be really... ah Yo!"
Before he could finish his words, Qihou became furious. He still hadn't forgotten to throw the fish into the vessel, and then grabbed the old man by the neck, and with a "hoo-" he threw the old man into the river inside.
"Pfft!!"
"Help!"
Wu Jiao looked dumbfounded, Qihou threw Mr. Tan Guo into the water as soon as he shook his hand, Mr. Tan Guo was not prepared at all, he yelled, and splashed in the water, because he entered the water sideways, so The water covered his neck and chin, and Mr. Tan Guo was so frightened that he yelled, "Help...help!"
The eunuch next to him hurried over and shouted, "My lord! My lord! My servant is here to save you!"
As a result, the eunuch ran over and did not reach his thighs. Only then did Mr. Tan realize that the river was not deep at all, so he quickly got up, shivering from the cold, with white hair and beard sticking to his face, and he was helped up by the eunuch tremblingly , pointing at Qihou and said: "You you...you damn slave..."
Qihou is an upright nobleman of the Qi State, a direct descendant of Jiang Taigong, so he couldn't tolerate the scolding of one slave at a time, so he smiled coldly and said, "Young Master of the State of Tan? Then you should listen carefully. The person who taught you a lesson today is Jiang's surname Lu's, and this Marquis's name is Xiaobai, if Mr. Tan dies suddenly in another day, he will be considered dead."
He said with a sneer, then turned around and left with his sleeves. That is called a heroic spirit. When Mr. Tan Guogong heard that Qihou declared himself his name, his legs trembled in fright. It turned out that he was not a slave, but the monarch of Qi State. !
Wu Jiu heard Qihou's self-reported name. When he said the four words "big name Xiaobai", Wu Jiu almost laughed out loud. Perhaps it was because of many different ideas. Hearing Qihou's name, Wu Jiu felt that it was special. Meng, coupled with Qi Hou's aura, the contrast of cuteness is even stronger.
Wu Jiu hurriedly chased after Qi Hou and took two quick steps, snickering behind him, firstly, it was the first time Wu Jiu saw someone molesting Qi Hou, and Mr. Tan Guo was serious enough, he was old and not young, and he even liked Gao strong?
Second, it was Qi Hou's self-reported name that made Wu Jiu amused.
Wu Jiu buried his head in a wry smile, but unexpectedly, Qi Hou in front of him suddenly stopped, and hit Qi Hou's back with a "boom", the bridge of his nose was so sore that he was about to shed physiological tears, so he hurriedly covered his nose.
Qihou turned his head and raised his eyebrows and said, "Second brother, is it funny?"
Wu Jiu shook his head hastily, and Qi Hou just "hummed", and then stepped into the car, Wu Jiu held his nose and thought, what about Tsundere?
It was too cold outside, and Wu Jiu was about to get in the car, but as soon as he got in the car, he saw Qi Hou taking off his clothes, pulled off all the wet clothes in one go, and threw them aside. The long hair hangs down, covering it loomingly, it is better not to cover it, it looks even more shameful.
Wu Jiu hurriedly turned his head to avoid the embarrassment, while Qi Hou slowly changed his clothes, and only then did he let people set off and rush to the gate of Luoshi City.
Luoshi was the center of the Zhou Dynasty. King Ping of Zhou moved his capital to Luoshi and built the entire capital of Luoshi. Back then, the capital of Luoshi was extremely spectacular and magnificent.
"The side of Hori is one thousand seven hundred and twenty feet, and the side of Yu is seventy-seven miles away."
The scale of the Luo division is large, and the architecture is exquisite, far surpassing that of the major princes. The entire city is garrisoned by the Eighth Army of Zhou. Each division has 500 people, a total of [-] soldiers and horses.
Zhou Tianzi's royal palace was also extremely well-built. The princes only had one road bedroom and two small bedrooms, while Zhou Tianzi had one road bedroom and five small bedrooms. The emperor had a total of six bedrooms.
In addition to the sleeping palace for the emperor's daily activities, there are also the exquisite Taimiao, Ancestral Temple, Kaogong, and the Mingtang where the nine tripods symbolizing state power are placed, making a total of five palaces.
Zhou Tianzi's palace is so magnificent, the purpose is to distinguish himself as the emperor, and other princes are courtiers, no matter how powerful they are, they are also courtiers.
Entering the city gate of Luoshi, Luoshi's economy can be regarded as developed. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Zhou Kingdom was also considered one of the most powerful countries. Although it was declining day by day, it had not yet declined to the point of being vulnerable.
Because the special envoys from various countries have to come to attend the funeral ceremony, it even drove the economic development of some Luoshi. Many merchants took advantage of this opportunity to go to Luoshi to do business. It expresses the sadness of the death of the emperor of Zhou.
As soon as Qi's convoy entered the Luo division, the post officer had already received the news and came to greet him in person.
Qihou didn't get out of the car, but said, "Thank you, sir."
How dare the post house call itself an adult, and hastily led Qihou's motorcade into the post house.
The posthouses in Wangcheng are extraordinary, revealing luxury everywhere, especially when the new Zhou emperor ascended the throne. Even though this Zhou emperor basically has nothing to do, he has two well-known places. This Zhou emperor Hu Qi is very close to Duke Huan of Qi. Zhou Tianzi was the first to recognize Duke Huan of Qi's hegemony, and the second was Hu Qi's extravagance.
Hu Qi likes luxurious buildings and luxurious clothes very much. As soon as he took office, the Luo teachers also rushed to follow suit, and there was a luxurious atmosphere.
The posthouse is a place for the various princes to stay, so it must naturally reflect the grandeur and luxury of the emperor of Zhou. After the obituary was issued, the emperor of Zhou, Hu Qi, spent the past few months and the time of the princes on their way to rebuild the posthouse. The post house has been fully enlarged, and all the furniture inside has been replaced with new ones, which is very magnificent.
It was already very luxurious from the moment he entered the door, Wu Jiu was a little speechless, the emperor of Zhou was really rich, after all the princes would pay tribute every year, it can be seen from this post house.
After entering the post house, Qi's team allocated a very large courtyard with many houses, and the post officer was still polite, so Qi Hou asked the post officer to bring the two fish he caught into the dining room.
The post officer was taken aback. He didn't know what Qihou's intention was, and he was still trying to figure it out. He didn't know at all. In fact, Qihou was in a good mood because he wanted to eat grilled fish, so he caught two fish himself. , but the good mood was ruined by Mr. Tan Guo, so he didn't have time to eat, and he was reluctant to throw away the two fish he personally salvaged, so he asked the post officer to put them in the dining room.
Everyone was exhausted and ready to go back to the room to rest. Wu Jiao entered the room and rested for a while. Before it was time for lunch, Wu Jiao was not too tired, so he turned over and prepared to go to the dining room to have a look. , Make the two fish into grilled fish, lest Qi Hou really get hurt.
As soon as Wu Jiu got up, before he went out, he heard the sound of "Knock Knock Knock", someone knocked on the door, Ziqing opened the door and saw that it was the post officer.
The post officer smiled and bent down and said: "Young Master Qi, the Son of Heaven invites you and the King of Qi to enter the palace. There is a special banquet to welcome you. The driver is already waiting outside the door."
When Wu Jiu heard that the grilled fish was too much to eat, he said, "I'll come right after I change my clothes, please wait a little later."
"Yes, sir, please go ahead."
The post officials are polite, and their attitude is even more polite than that of the princes of other countries. Wu Jiu knew the reason for this. After all, the emperor had just ascended the throne in the first week, and envoys from so many countries had lived in the post post, but only One is the monarch, Qi Hou gave Zhou Tianzi face in this way, can Zhou Tianzi be rude?
The second is because of Wang Ji's matter, Zhou Tianzi can't be polite, after all they are wronged and afraid of being laughed at.
Thirdly, it was because of Emperor Zhou that he came to the throne, and his foundation was not yet solid. Qi is a big country. If Emperor Zhou wanted to get close to Qi, he naturally had to be polite to them.
Wu Jiu quickly changed his clothes, dressed neatly, and then went out. He went out, boarded the car, and found that Marquis Qi was already there. He was wearing a black court robe, a crown on his head, and a solemn black body. Majestic and domineering.
Because today he was going to wear a crown and formal attire, so Qihou tied up all his hair and hid it under the crown, completely exposing his forehead and sharp-edged facial contours, making him look very resolute.
On the black crown, a yellow belt hangs down from one side, further emphasizing the majesty of Marquis Qi.
Seeing Wu Jiu getting into the car, Qihou raised his sleeves and said with a smile, "Second Brother, how does Gu look today?"
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, and he said hastily, "Your Majesty's equipment is imposing, unmatched by anyone."
Qi Hou laughed, and said: "Although it is not true, but from the mouth of the second brother, Gu is still very useful."
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched even more, thinking that his flattery is really so fake?Is it time to learn how to flatter?
The two of them were sitting in a black chariot, the chariot was sent from the palace, and it was extraordinarily luxurious, even the rider who drove the chariot looked different, tall, with bronze skin, and unusually tough, seemed to be unsmiling, But the unspeakable tough guy temperament.
Wu Jiu couldn't help but take a second look, some people just look good, Wu Jiu felt that this riding slave was too different.
Wu Jiao opened the curtain and took a look. Qi Hou didn't know what he was doing, he thought he was looking at Luoshi's street scene, so he also leaned over to take a look, only to find that Wu Correct was staring at the slave driving the chariot.
Qihou couldn't help frowning, and said half-jokingly: "Why, is this riding slave really prettier than Gu? The second brother is so engrossed when he sees it?"
When Wu Jiu heard what he said, goosebumps all over his body immediately developed, he laughed dryly, and put down the curtain of the car at hand. It's really weird.
Listening to the sound of the wheels, the two wobbled, and when Wu Jiao was about to get motion sickness, they finally arrived at the gate of the palace and got out of the car. An eunuch came to guide him, and said respectfully with a smile: "I greet you, my lord." Your Majesty, please pay your respects to Young Master Qi, the Son of Heaven has been waiting for a long time in the dormitory, please, Your Majesty, Young Master."
Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi were led into the palace, and the small bedroom was also very grand. Although it was winter, it didn't look gloomy at all. There were many beautifully dressed court ladies shuttled around the path of the bedroom, looking very busy.
Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu walked outside the bedroom, the eunuch
Qihou smiled and said: "It's nothing, Guzhi's second brother has a close relationship with Xi Peng, and the second brother also has sharp teeth. If the second brother persuades Xi Peng, he will definitely listen."
Wu Jiu looked at Qi Hou suspiciously, and said, "Just persuasion?"
Qi Hou said: "Naturally, it is to understand the benefits and harms, and to persuade him with kind words. After all, Gu is also for the good of Xi Peng. The second brother only needs to ask Xi Peng to swear, it doesn't matter. It's nothing more than a verbal oath. Gu will do it today." How about going into the palace, meeting Zheng Bo, and asking him to marry the daughter of the prime minister to the person she likes?"
Wu Jiu felt that he really got into a hole. Qihou just wanted to use himself to persuade Gongsun Xipeng, perhaps because Gongsun Xipeng was a stubborn person, although he was loyal to Qihou and helped Qihou find out many things. Yi Ya's inside story, but still can't let go of this feeling.
In the end, Gongsun Xipeng was also in pain, no wonder he was a little hesitant when he spoke before, and he always laughed at himself. Wu Jiu thought that it was only because they were men that Gongsun Xipeng felt that his feelings had no thought and laughed at himself.
The Baidi people and Chidi people, etc., are collectively called Beidi because they are in the north of Zhou Tianzi's control area. They are ethnic minorities in the northern part of ancient China. Most of them hunt near Jin and Qin because they don't have their own cities. , so it is relatively scattered, and no serious country has been established, but its strength cannot be underestimated.
Speaking of Bai Di people, there is a concept that is difficult to understand. The image is very vague, but there is a general concept of barbarism and bravery. In fact, the meaning of "Di people" is recorded in "Book of Rites and Kingship", which was for Zhou Tianzi at that time. , People in the east of the Zhou Dynasty were called barbarians, because in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, places like Qi State were also barren lands. They are all nobles with foreign surnames, which cannot be called nobles in the eyes of Zhou Tianzi, and the countries near Zhou State, that is, the countries in the interior, are all nobles with the surname Ji, such as Zheng Guowei, Zheng Hewei is their small clan clan, their The big clans all have the surname Ji.
Another example is the state of Chu, which is not under the control of the Emperor Zhou. To the Di people, the state of Chu is just an extra country for them. In the eyes of Emperor Zhou, the state of Chu is a southern barbarian. They are ordinary people, and they are all group forces outside the rule of Zhou Tianzi.
It's just that in Duke Huan of Qi's political philosophy of "respecting the king and fighting against barbarians", Chu State is too powerful. Although he is also a kind of "barbarians", he is really unable to attack. In the end, the war was peacefully terminated by the alliance, so this "barbarian" was planned as the Rong people in the west and the Di people in the north.
In the history of Qi State, there are also records of Bai Di people harassing the border of Qi State. For Bai Di people and Qi State, they are two different forces. Their forces are potentially dangerous, just like Qi State and Wei State. Although the two countries do not border each other, and although there are overlapping in-law relationships, everyone wants to annex each other. If there is a slight possibility, they will definitely not be relentless.
Seeing that Wu Jiu didn't speak, Qi Hou smiled and said, "Second elder brother is someone who understands these things. If Wu Yong is really the prince of the Di people, then Gu can save his life. After all, the value is extraordinary. , but now Yong Wu is not the prince of the Di people, to put it bluntly, he is not even as good as a grain of millet to Bai Di, let alone a war horse or an ox, right?"
Wu Jiu thought to himself, this is true. Since ancient times, the winners are princes and the losers are bandits. Yi Ya has failed in the ambush now. He is not the real Prince Baidi. Even if he is the real prince, he is not the prince. Baidi people He will definitely not save him, just discard it after using it, and for Qi, a secret work that is not a prince or a nobleman is useless.
Wu Jiu understood what Qihou meant. Qihou wanted to use Yi Ya to make an example, and that's why he "forced" Gongsun Xipeng to swear an oath to make him stop thinking about it completely.
Wu Jiujue, Qi Hou really "has good intentions", he jumped into the pit himself, there is no reason not to agree to Qi Hou to lobby Gongsun Xipeng.
Wu Jiu said: "Jiao understands the truth, but Jiu can only do his best."
Qi Hou said with a smile: "Second brother just does his best, I know Xi Peng's character well, so I just do my best."
Wu Jiu quickly withdrew. After quitting, he thought to himself, what a mistake, he got up so early in the morning and went into the dining room, made a big pancake for Qihou to feed Qihou, but ended up losing the pancake. Zhebing, in fact, Qihou has something to ask of himself, and if he knew it would be like this, he would not make pancakes for him.
Wu Jiu went back to his room, thought hard for a while, and decided to tell the truth, so he got up and went to find Gongsun Xipeng.
Gongsun Xipeng was practicing sword in the courtyard outside the house, his movements were fierce and full of momentum, he was shirtless, his body was bronze-colored, and under the winter sun, it was almost shining.
Wu Jiu walked over from a distance, and saw Gongsun Xipeng who was sweating all over in winter. He was really envious of Gongsun Xipeng's muscles, and couldn't help touching his abdomen secretly, thinking that he hadn't seen Qihou either. How to practice swords, why does he have muscles, could it be that his physique is different?
When Wu Jiao walked over, Gongsun Xipeng noticed it immediately, quickly put the sword aside, then put on his outer shirt, wiped his sweat with the outer shirt, smiled and said, "Master."
Wu Jiu also smiled, but it was just a dry joke, after all he fell into the trick of Marquis Qi, and he came to lobby Gongsun Xipeng again.
Wu Jiu said: "Jiao has brought good news to Da Sixing."
When Gongsun Xipeng heard this, he was surprised and said, "Young Master, did you really succeed? Has Your Majesty taken it back?"
Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty said that you can enter the palace today and talk to Zheng Gong about the marriage offer."
When Gongsun Xipeng heard this, he immediately beamed with joy and said, "That...that would be great!"
As he was speaking, he saw Wu Jiao's expression of hesitation, and couldn't help feeling a little chilly in his heart, he laughed and said, "My lord, just speak up, what else did your majesty say."
Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty also said that there is a prerequisite, and that is to ask the chief minister to make an oral oath."
Gongsun Xipeng said in surprise, "Does your lord believe in Xipeng's loyalty?"
Wu Jiu sighed and said, "It's not this oath, but it made you stop thinking about Yong Wu."
When Gongsun Xipeng heard this, his expression gradually became clear, and his smile disappeared. I don't know if it was because of sword practice, or because of something else, his breathing gradually became heavy, as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, Gongsun Xipeng narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and suddenly pulled out his hand to pick up the saber next to him. With a sound of "Hoo--", the sword swung sideways, and Gongsun Xipeng's fingers immediately bled. It was a deep cut.
"Bang!" Gongsun Xipeng knelt down on the ground, facing east, with a very low and hoarse voice, and said, "Xi Peng swears in the name of Zhuang Gong's great-grandson that from today onwards, he will have no more love for Yongwu." Think about it, if you break this oath... ten thousand arrows will pierce your heart!"
Wu Jiu looked at Gongsun Xipeng's back, shook his head, and said, "Please get up, sir, and Jiu will reply to you now."
Gongsun Xipeng listened to the sound of Wu Jiu walking away for a long time, then he threw the saber in his hand "Kang Dang" and stood up from the ground. His hand naturally dropped, and his fingers were still bleeding, but Gongsun Xipeng didn't even look at it. at a glance...
Qi Hou went to the palace that day to talk to Zheng Bo about this matter. Although Zheng Bo felt that Qi Hou was going against his word, but because Zheng Guo was no longer as powerful as before, he couldn't challenge Qi Hou at all.
In addition, Qi Hou really accepted that strong man as his adopted son and made him a son. Although Zheng Guo felt that this son was a bit cheaper, he accepted it unsatisfactorily. The wedding will be held soon.
The wedding was held within half a month, and everyone attended the wedding. After her husband's calculations, what Yongji wanted now was a stable home. She no longer wanted to decide between her husband and father. Such a marriage, It's also perfect.
After the wedding banquet was over, Zheng Bo personally sent Qi Hou and Wu Jiu's team to leave the capital. Zheng Bo wanted to send Qi Hou some beauties, but Qi Hou refused, and Zheng Bo had no choice.
The team left the capital city of Zheng State and headed straight for Zhou State. On the way, it was unknown whether it was because Qihou had just attended a wedding banquet, or because of Gongsun Xipeng's oath. In short, Qihou was in a very good mood and always spoke with a smile on his face. , I can't wait to laugh out the laugh lines overnight, Wu Jiu shuddered watching it.
As for Gongsun Xipeng, he didn't see any difference at all, and he was still the same as usual, and he didn't see any difference in his words and deeds.
They walked all the way to the state of Zhou without incident, and soon entered the suburbs of Luoshi, the capital of the state of Zhou.
Because they came earlier, and Wu Jiu suffered from motion sickness, so Qihou asked people to slow down the driving speed and walked forward slowly.
Wu Jiu was not very comfortable being shaken by the car, and his face was very ugly. Seeing that his face was really bad, Qihou raised the curtain to look, and Yan'e, who was following the car outside, quickly followed, and said, "Your Majesty?"
Qihou looked around. Although it was early winter, the suburbs of Luoshi looked pretty good. There was an illusion that autumn was breezy. In addition, it was not cold in Japan today, and there was still gurgling water outside, and the few plants beside the water were still intact. There are many trees with clean leaves, and the scenery looks really good.
So Qihou said: "Order to stop and rest here."
Yan E hurried over to tell the chief executive in front of him, Gongsun Xipeng, and Gongsun Xipeng immediately sent an order: "Stop the car! Rest where you are!"
They were already about to enter the Luo division, but they stopped suddenly, but Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, he was about to be shaken apart, although the black cars these days are quite gorgeous, but they are made of bronze, and it really hurts when they bump up. human life.
Seeing his pale face, Qihou said, "Second brother, get out of the car and take a breath?"
Wu Jiu nodded again and again, and quickly got up to get off the car, but when he got up, he suddenly felt his feet go limp, and he knelt down again with a "gudong".
Qihou was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I don't see Second Brother doing such a grand ceremony on weekdays, what's the matter today?"
Wu Jiao was made fun of by Qi Hou, but he is really uncomfortable now, and he has no time to talk to him, who knows that Qi Hou said, suddenly came over, and even grabbed Wu Jiao with both hands, hugging him horizontally.
"Ho!"
Wu Jiu was startled, and quickly grabbed Qi Hou's neck to prevent him from falling off. The two of them were very close, and Wu Jiu who was so close could see the scar on Qi Hou's cheek clearly. After such a long time, the scar It has faded several times, but I can still see it.
Wu Jiu's eyes widened. He was not the almond eyes of a beauty, but a pair of red phoenix eyes, hooked inside and turned up outside. When he was thinking about things, his light was compelling, and he had an indescribably pleasing and heroic spirit.
Wu Jiu opened his red phoenix eyes like walnuts, which made Qi Hou laugh.
Qihou lowered his head slightly, and whispered in Wu Jiu's ear, "Second brother, don't move, if you move, we will all fall out of the car."
Wu Jiao was blown into his ears by his breath, his whole body swayed for a moment, and goosebumps rose up. Logically speaking, because Qihou always moves his hands and feet, Wu Jiao has basically been immune to him. At most, Wu Jiao wiped it secretly twice after doing his hands and feet.
However, at the moment, Wu Jiu felt a sudden tremor in his body, an inexplicable discomfort, and suddenly his body stiffened, stiff like a stick in Qihou's arms.
Seeing that he was honest, Marquis Qi hugged Wu Jiu, got out of the carriage, and jumped out of the car.
When everyone saw that Marquis Qi got out of the car, he just hugged Wu Jiu's car, and Wu Jiu's face was pale, so they didn't feel surprised, they just came to ask: "Do you need a medical officer, my lord?"
Qihou hugged Wu Jiu and walked down, then put him down gently, and said with a smile: "Second brother is too weak, come, come and relax by the river."
Marquis Qi waved his hand and signaled Wu Jiu to go over. Although the air by the river was really fresh and the scenery was quite unique, Wu Jiu really didn't want to go there because it was very cold and the wind by the water was a bit hard.
Standing by the water, Qihou raised his head slightly, hands behind his back, and the winter wind blew across his cheeks. He rolled up his temple hair with a sound of "huh--" and his black robe was fluttering in the cold wind. Handsome and charming.
It's just that Wu Jiao was not in the mood to watch Qi Hou shivering, because it was too cold, Wu Jiao quickly shrank back and rubbed his hands, Qi Hou looked back, saw Wu Jiao shrunk into a small bun, and suddenly didn't like it. Hold back a laugh.
Wu Jiao was puzzled, they came to attend the funeral, and Qihou was in such a good mood, so he wasn't afraid of being criticized?
Just as he was wondering, he saw Qihou taking off his black plush cloak. The cloak was black as a whole, embroidered with domineering patterns, but the neckline was surrounded by white hair. If you put it on, it will definitely look short and frustrating. If someone with a bad figure wears it, it will definitely look like a moving funeral wreath, but when Qihou wears it, it will look particularly imposing.
Qihou untied the cloak and put it on Wu Jiu's back. Because the cloak was too big, he immediately wrapped Wu Jiu up and tied it on the front. It was tightly wrapped from the beginning to the end.
Qihou looked him up and down, then suddenly smiled and lowered his head and said, "Ah... mopping the floor."
Wu Jiu looked down, good guy, this cloak is too long, after all, it was tailored according to Qi Hou's figure, it just reached Qi Hou's ankles, and it was used to block the wind, Wu Jiao just put it on and mopped the floor .
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched several times, thinking that when Qihou was in a bad mood, it would be more painful, but now it's too annoying.
After Qihou finished playing with Wu Jiao, he looked at the river, but the river was not frozen, and when he looked down, there were fish swimming in it.
Qihou looked at the fish in the water and said, "It's been a hard journey, I haven't enjoyed the grilled fish made by my second brother for a long time."
Wu Jiu glanced at the small fry in the water, thinking that such small fish can't be grilled, and they are here for the funeral, not for the autumn outing.
Wu Jiu was thinking about it, when he heard a "wow!", Qihou next to him said, "Second brother, look, there is a big one."
Before Wu Jiu could react, Qi Hou went into the water without making a sound, not only frightened Wu Jiu, but also all the people behind were frightened, thinking that Qi Hou had fallen into the water, they rushed over to rescue him.
In the end, I saw Qihou standing in the water, the river only reached his knees, and didn't go any further. Qihou just stood there, without taking off his clothes, just soaked in the water and stretched out his hands to catch fish.
Wu Jiu was dumbfounded, Qi Hou really did not hesitate to go into the water to fish in winter just to eat grilled fish.
Everyone said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the water is too cold, come up quickly, it's going to catch the wind and chill."
But Qi Hou just waved his hands, bent over to fish in the water, Wu Jiao watched for a while, Qi Hou's movements were very clumsy, he couldn't catch any fish at all, and the small fish in the water swam very fast and slipped through.
Wu Jiu looked at it for a while, then turned to Ziqing and said, "Ziqing, get me a mat."
Ziqing was speechless for a moment, but he threw a mat on the bank and asked Wu Jiu to sit down. Wu Jiao was sitting there. He even made a fire to keep warm, drank the hot water, and placed some dried flowers He dried the fruit to relieve the dry and rusty smell of the water, and watched Qihou standing in the water leisurely fishing for fish.
About half an hour later, Wu Jiu was nestled by the water, numb to the sight, Qihou was still enjoying it, and suddenly said loudly: "Second brother, Gu has been caught!"
Qihou said, with a "crash", he jumped ashore. Wu Jiao saw that it was not a fish fry after all, but it was still quite small.
Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty, this fish is too small, I'm afraid it won't be enough for Your Majesty to eat. How about you go get another one?"
Qi Hou immediately put the fish in the container, then turned his head and went into the water again, everyone watched silently, Wu Jiu snickered behind his back, thinking that Qi Hou was afraid of water, so he could play with this little fish Shuigouzi.
Perhaps because of the feeling of catching fish for the first time, the second fish was caught quickly, but at this time, Qihou's clothes were already wet to the waist, and the black clothes tightly wrapped his slender thighs, and Lean waist.
Accompanied by the sound of "哗啦哗啦", Qi Hou grabbed the fish and walked up from the water. With the surge of the water, the long legs turned out to be unusually long and full of strength and wildness, which made Wu Jiu envious.
A suit of decent clothes, dignified and gorgeous clothes, got wet by Qi Hou, turned into a tights, outlining Qi Hou's tall and straight figure, Wu Jiao felt embarrassed to look at it for a moment, his heart Thinking that it really is not a disease to be bored, it can kill people...
Qihou came up, holding a lively fish in his hand. The fish was quite big, and it kept jumping like a "thunderbolt", and it threw Wu Jiao's face all at once. The fishy smell made Wu Jiu, who is obsessed with cleanliness, feel bad immediately.
I don't know why Qihou is in such a good mood. Seeing Wu Jiu's face darkened, he burst out laughing. The laughing Wu Jiao's face was even darker, but it was not easy to get angry. Yan'e quickly brought the handkerchief and said: " Wipe it quickly, son."
Wu Jiu wiped his face clean, Qihou was still holding onto the fish, as if he couldn't bear to let go, and said with a smile: "Second brother, look, is this fish big enough?"
Wu Jiu really didn't want to talk to him, his face was still full of fishy smell, Qi Hou said again: "This fish is dishonest, just like the second brother, it keeps fighting hard."
Wu Jiu really wanted to stare at him, but Qi Hou even compared himself with a dead fish, and wanted to kick his ass again, and now he misses the days of kicking Qi Hou, but at that time, time was tight, and Wu Jiao didn't think carefully about it. The pleasure at that time seemed to be a flash in the pan, and I really regretted it after a glimpse.
Just when Marquis Qi was making fun of Wu Jiu, the sound of "gululu" wheels approached from far away. They were catching fish by the water, and Qi Bing was resting on the spot beside him. Come here, there is a flag on the car with a word written on it.
- Tan
After seeing it, Marquis Qi knew that this was probably Tan Guo's funeral procession. Judging from the posture, it should not be Tan Gong himself, nor the prince, or just an envoy.
Qi Hou was turning his head to watch, when the curtain of the black chariot inside was opened suddenly, an old man with white hair and white beard looked over and met Qi Hou's gaze.
Qi Hou didn't take it seriously, so he looked back and teased Wu Jiu with the fish, but he didn't know that the car stopped suddenly, not only stopped, but the old man with white hair and beard in the car was still standing still. Get out of the car and walk towards them.
The old man didn't seem to see Qi's army, otherwise he wouldn't have walked over alone. Qi Hou frowned. It is an indisputable fact that Qi and Tan have no contact with each other. Now Tan's special envoy came here Do you want to say hello?
Seeing Qi Hou frowning, Wu Jiao turned his head and saw the old man coming, but Wu Jiao didn't know who the old man was.
The old man came over, followed by an eunuch at the same pace, the old man was smiling, his face was full of wrinkles, he was more than 70 years old by visual inspection, he was definitely old in this day and age, although he was not considered a long-lived man, he was indeed an old man up.
But the old man's gaze is very...
It was very obscene, Wu Jiu felt that he had absolutely no understanding, the old man's face was not rosy anymore, his face was gray, his face was full of wrinkles, and when he smiled, his face was full of creases, but his eyes were "sparkling." Hui", it was so obscene, Wu Jiu's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.
I saw the old man looking up and down at Qi Hou behind Wu Jiu, probably because Qi Hou didn't wear court clothes today, he was just wearing casual clothes, plus he was wet all over, and he was holding a fish in his hand, the old man thought he was a soldier or something As a human being, he looked at her unscrupulously.
Immediately, the old man said: "Little brother, you look like a strong guard, how much can you sell it to me?"
When Wu Jiu heard this, he almost burst out laughing. He looked carefully at Qihou's expression. Qihou's expression turned cold when he looked at the red eyes of the old man. During this journey, Qihou had only seen Some people teased Wu Jiu, but no one dared to tease him.
After all, Qihou is tall and his face is not gentle, indeed no one dares to tease him, at most there is a woman who loves Qihou.
As a result, a blind man came today, so the old man continued to say: "I like such a strong man, look at these legs, tsk tsk."
Qihou's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot of roasted fish, and he smiled coldly when he heard the old man's comments on him.
Hearing his sneer, the old man's face was full of disdain, and he also lost his temper, and said arrogantly: "I am talking to your master, how can you, a slave, have any reason to interrupt?"
Qihou's face was so cold that he could freeze people, the old man continued: "You don't even ask, who am I?"
Wu Jiu heard that he called himself "my son", and saw the banner with the word "Tan", thinking to himself, could it be the son of Tan Guo?
Tan Gong is the person who assists King Ping of Zhou. He is already a long-lived monarch. The elders of the princes and sons of Tan Guo are all over 70 years old. Many princes can't consume Tan Gong. They have passed away, and the rest can't survive. After a long time, even Tan Gong's grandson died, but Tan Gong's body was quite strong.
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "May I ask you?"
The old man laughed and said: "Listen well, I am the son of Tan Guo, you soldier, I will give you five hundred knives, what do you think? Don't toast and eat fine wine!"
The bamboo knife is the currency in circulation in the country of Tan. It is different from the three horizontal stripes of the Qi knife, and has two horizontal stripes on the back. Although Tan is small in size, because of its developed economy, the circulation of the bamboo knife is quite extensive. It can often be seen that it is a kind of hard currency.
Five hundred knives, Wu Jiu felt that Marquis Qi was quite valuable.
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Mr. Tan Guo is really bold. He is worthy of being the son of a great country. His asking price is also generous. For a small soldier, he only asked for [-] knives. This... makes me really unable to retaliate."
When the old man heard this, he thought that Wu Jiao was going to sell Qihou, and said with a smile: "Who made me like this kind of strong man? Haha, if I take it back, it will be really... ah Yo!"
Before he could finish his words, Qihou became furious. He still hadn't forgotten to throw the fish into the vessel, and then grabbed the old man by the neck, and with a "hoo-" he threw the old man into the river inside.
"Pfft!!"
"Help!"
Wu Jiao looked dumbfounded, Qihou threw Mr. Tan Guo into the water as soon as he shook his hand, Mr. Tan Guo was not prepared at all, he yelled, and splashed in the water, because he entered the water sideways, so The water covered his neck and chin, and Mr. Tan Guo was so frightened that he yelled, "Help...help!"
The eunuch next to him hurried over and shouted, "My lord! My lord! My servant is here to save you!"
As a result, the eunuch ran over and did not reach his thighs. Only then did Mr. Tan realize that the river was not deep at all, so he quickly got up, shivering from the cold, with white hair and beard sticking to his face, and he was helped up by the eunuch tremblingly , pointing at Qihou and said: "You you...you damn slave..."
Qihou is an upright nobleman of the Qi State, a direct descendant of Jiang Taigong, so he couldn't tolerate the scolding of one slave at a time, so he smiled coldly and said, "Young Master of the State of Tan? Then you should listen carefully. The person who taught you a lesson today is Jiang's surname Lu's, and this Marquis's name is Xiaobai, if Mr. Tan dies suddenly in another day, he will be considered dead."
He said with a sneer, then turned around and left with his sleeves. That is called a heroic spirit. When Mr. Tan Guogong heard that Qihou declared himself his name, his legs trembled in fright. It turned out that he was not a slave, but the monarch of Qi State. !
Wu Jiu heard Qihou's self-reported name. When he said the four words "big name Xiaobai", Wu Jiu almost laughed out loud. Perhaps it was because of many different ideas. Hearing Qihou's name, Wu Jiu felt that it was special. Meng, coupled with Qi Hou's aura, the contrast of cuteness is even stronger.
Wu Jiu hurriedly chased after Qi Hou and took two quick steps, snickering behind him, firstly, it was the first time Wu Jiu saw someone molesting Qi Hou, and Mr. Tan Guo was serious enough, he was old and not young, and he even liked Gao strong?
Second, it was Qi Hou's self-reported name that made Wu Jiu amused.
Wu Jiu buried his head in a wry smile, but unexpectedly, Qi Hou in front of him suddenly stopped, and hit Qi Hou's back with a "boom", the bridge of his nose was so sore that he was about to shed physiological tears, so he hurriedly covered his nose.
Qihou turned his head and raised his eyebrows and said, "Second brother, is it funny?"
Wu Jiu shook his head hastily, and Qi Hou just "hummed", and then stepped into the car, Wu Jiu held his nose and thought, what about Tsundere?
It was too cold outside, and Wu Jiu was about to get in the car, but as soon as he got in the car, he saw Qi Hou taking off his clothes, pulled off all the wet clothes in one go, and threw them aside. The long hair hangs down, covering it loomingly, it is better not to cover it, it looks even more shameful.
Wu Jiu hurriedly turned his head to avoid the embarrassment, while Qi Hou slowly changed his clothes, and only then did he let people set off and rush to the gate of Luoshi City.
Luoshi was the center of the Zhou Dynasty. King Ping of Zhou moved his capital to Luoshi and built the entire capital of Luoshi. Back then, the capital of Luoshi was extremely spectacular and magnificent.
"The side of Hori is one thousand seven hundred and twenty feet, and the side of Yu is seventy-seven miles away."
The scale of the Luo division is large, and the architecture is exquisite, far surpassing that of the major princes. The entire city is garrisoned by the Eighth Army of Zhou. Each division has 500 people, a total of [-] soldiers and horses.
Zhou Tianzi's royal palace was also extremely well-built. The princes only had one road bedroom and two small bedrooms, while Zhou Tianzi had one road bedroom and five small bedrooms. The emperor had a total of six bedrooms.
In addition to the sleeping palace for the emperor's daily activities, there are also the exquisite Taimiao, Ancestral Temple, Kaogong, and the Mingtang where the nine tripods symbolizing state power are placed, making a total of five palaces.
Zhou Tianzi's palace is so magnificent, the purpose is to distinguish himself as the emperor, and other princes are courtiers, no matter how powerful they are, they are also courtiers.
Entering the city gate of Luoshi, Luoshi's economy can be regarded as developed. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, Zhou Kingdom was also considered one of the most powerful countries. Although it was declining day by day, it had not yet declined to the point of being vulnerable.
Because the special envoys from various countries have to come to attend the funeral ceremony, it even drove the economic development of some Luoshi. Many merchants took advantage of this opportunity to go to Luoshi to do business. It expresses the sadness of the death of the emperor of Zhou.
As soon as Qi's convoy entered the Luo division, the post officer had already received the news and came to greet him in person.
Qihou didn't get out of the car, but said, "Thank you, sir."
How dare the post house call itself an adult, and hastily led Qihou's motorcade into the post house.
The posthouses in Wangcheng are extraordinary, revealing luxury everywhere, especially when the new Zhou emperor ascended the throne. Even though this Zhou emperor basically has nothing to do, he has two well-known places. This Zhou emperor Hu Qi is very close to Duke Huan of Qi. Zhou Tianzi was the first to recognize Duke Huan of Qi's hegemony, and the second was Hu Qi's extravagance.
Hu Qi likes luxurious buildings and luxurious clothes very much. As soon as he took office, the Luo teachers also rushed to follow suit, and there was a luxurious atmosphere.
The posthouse is a place for the various princes to stay, so it must naturally reflect the grandeur and luxury of the emperor of Zhou. After the obituary was issued, the emperor of Zhou, Hu Qi, spent the past few months and the time of the princes on their way to rebuild the posthouse. The post house has been fully enlarged, and all the furniture inside has been replaced with new ones, which is very magnificent.
It was already very luxurious from the moment he entered the door, Wu Jiu was a little speechless, the emperor of Zhou was really rich, after all the princes would pay tribute every year, it can be seen from this post house.
After entering the post house, Qi's team allocated a very large courtyard with many houses, and the post officer was still polite, so Qi Hou asked the post officer to bring the two fish he caught into the dining room.
The post officer was taken aback. He didn't know what Qihou's intention was, and he was still trying to figure it out. He didn't know at all. In fact, Qihou was in a good mood because he wanted to eat grilled fish, so he caught two fish himself. , but the good mood was ruined by Mr. Tan Guo, so he didn't have time to eat, and he was reluctant to throw away the two fish he personally salvaged, so he asked the post officer to put them in the dining room.
Everyone was exhausted and ready to go back to the room to rest. Wu Jiao entered the room and rested for a while. Before it was time for lunch, Wu Jiao was not too tired, so he turned over and prepared to go to the dining room to have a look. , Make the two fish into grilled fish, lest Qi Hou really get hurt.
As soon as Wu Jiu got up, before he went out, he heard the sound of "Knock Knock Knock", someone knocked on the door, Ziqing opened the door and saw that it was the post officer.
The post officer smiled and bent down and said: "Young Master Qi, the Son of Heaven invites you and the King of Qi to enter the palace. There is a special banquet to welcome you. The driver is already waiting outside the door."
When Wu Jiu heard that the grilled fish was too much to eat, he said, "I'll come right after I change my clothes, please wait a little later."
"Yes, sir, please go ahead."
The post officials are polite, and their attitude is even more polite than that of the princes of other countries. Wu Jiu knew the reason for this. After all, the emperor had just ascended the throne in the first week, and envoys from so many countries had lived in the post post, but only One is the monarch, Qi Hou gave Zhou Tianzi face in this way, can Zhou Tianzi be rude?
The second is because of Wang Ji's matter, Zhou Tianzi can't be polite, after all they are wronged and afraid of being laughed at.
Thirdly, it was because of Emperor Zhou that he came to the throne, and his foundation was not yet solid. Qi is a big country. If Emperor Zhou wanted to get close to Qi, he naturally had to be polite to them.
Wu Jiu quickly changed his clothes, dressed neatly, and then went out. He went out, boarded the car, and found that Marquis Qi was already there. He was wearing a black court robe, a crown on his head, and a solemn black body. Majestic and domineering.
Because today he was going to wear a crown and formal attire, so Qihou tied up all his hair and hid it under the crown, completely exposing his forehead and sharp-edged facial contours, making him look very resolute.
On the black crown, a yellow belt hangs down from one side, further emphasizing the majesty of Marquis Qi.
Seeing Wu Jiu getting into the car, Qihou raised his sleeves and said with a smile, "Second Brother, how does Gu look today?"
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, and he said hastily, "Your Majesty's equipment is imposing, unmatched by anyone."
Qi Hou laughed, and said: "Although it is not true, but from the mouth of the second brother, Gu is still very useful."
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched even more, thinking that his flattery is really so fake?Is it time to learn how to flatter?
The two of them were sitting in a black chariot, the chariot was sent from the palace, and it was extraordinarily luxurious, even the rider who drove the chariot looked different, tall, with bronze skin, and unusually tough, seemed to be unsmiling, But the unspeakable tough guy temperament.
Wu Jiu couldn't help but take a second look, some people just look good, Wu Jiu felt that this riding slave was too different.
Wu Jiao opened the curtain and took a look. Qi Hou didn't know what he was doing, he thought he was looking at Luoshi's street scene, so he also leaned over to take a look, only to find that Wu Correct was staring at the slave driving the chariot.
Qihou couldn't help frowning, and said half-jokingly: "Why, is this riding slave really prettier than Gu? The second brother is so engrossed when he sees it?"
When Wu Jiu heard what he said, goosebumps all over his body immediately developed, he laughed dryly, and put down the curtain of the car at hand. It's really weird.
Listening to the sound of the wheels, the two wobbled, and when Wu Jiao was about to get motion sickness, they finally arrived at the gate of the palace and got out of the car. An eunuch came to guide him, and said respectfully with a smile: "I greet you, my lord." Your Majesty, please pay your respects to Young Master Qi, the Son of Heaven has been waiting for a long time in the dormitory, please, Your Majesty, Young Master."
Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi were led into the palace, and the small bedroom was also very grand. Although it was winter, it didn't look gloomy at all. There were many beautifully dressed court ladies shuttled around the path of the bedroom, looking very busy.
Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu walked outside the bedroom, the eunuch
