Chapter 56 Jealousy (2)
Dong Guoya followed him on horseback, Zhao Hu walked slower and slower, almost falling behind, still in a daze.
Dong Guoya squinted his eyes, raised his hand and whipped Zhaohu's horse's buttocks, and Zhaohu's horse jumped forward in an instant. Fortunately, Zhaohu was good at it and didn't fall off, so hurry up Ma Rein, looking back, saw that it was Dong Guo Ya who was playing tricks, and said loudly, "Da Ya, you sinister villain, are you going to throw me to death?"
Dong Guoya smiled and said, "Doctor Zhong is so skilled, how could he fall to his death? At most, he would be injured."
Zhao Hu was so angry with him that he was about to turn around to teach Dong Guo Ya a lesson, but Dong Guo Ya reined in the horse and slowed down, and turned to talk to Shi Su.
Because in Luoshi, Zhou Tianzi has personally appointed Qihou as the princes of the alliance on behalf of the emperor, so all countries want to curry favor with Qi, and the road is unimpeded. Qihou deliberately made people avoid Weiguo and took a detour , other countries are scrambling to borrow the road for Qi to pass, so the journey is quite smooth.
It was almost time to reach the territory of Qi State this day, and everyone was tired, so they set up camp and came down to rest.
Seeing that they are going back to Qi State, not to mention Wu Jiu, even the Huben soldiers are very happy. It was still late autumn and early winter when they left, and it was already time for the wax festival when they came back. They have been away from Qi State for so many months. Especially the ancients, there is always a kind of thinking of returning to the root, and they miss it very much.
Tomorrow they will be able to enter the country, everyone is very happy, sitting around the bonfire, all of them are extremely excited, Qihou also specially distributed all the wine and meat brought from Master Luo, to reward the tiger and ben army who have worked hard all the way.
Wu Jiu made a lot of barbecue with the wild game he brought in, and distributed it to everyone. Everyone ate and drank, and the atmosphere was very high-spirited.
It seemed that Hou Qi hadn't been this happy for a long time. After all the two major concerns were resolved, he drank a few more glasses of wine.
Wu Jiao was still grilling wild game by the fire, when Zhao Hu sat down beside him with a blushing face, tilted his head with a "gudong", and leaned on Wu Jiao's shoulder.
Wu Jiao was startled, turned his head to look, Zhao Hu had drunk too much, Zhao Hu's wine was also very bad, and it was too strong to drink, so it was easy to drink too high.
He got drunk, leaned against Wu Jiao, frowned with his mouth puckered, as if he was thinking about something important.
While grilling, Wu Jiu sprinkled the condiments on it and said, "Master Zhao, is there something on your mind?"
Zhao Hu said not very eloquently: "What's on your mind? No, no... no, why did you say that?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Then how can master Zhao drink away his sorrows? This is not a good way, it's even worse to drink away his sorrows."
Zhao Hu chuckled and said, "Really not."
Wu Jiu didn't ask any more questions. Unexpectedly, after a while, Zhao Hu grabbed his sleeve and was about to wipe his nose. Wu Jiao was really shocked this time. After all, he is a clean freak. Zhao Hu This action was too frightening, and it was extremely threatening to Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu hurriedly backed away a little, and said, "Master Zhao, don't get excited, just speak up if you have something to say."
Zhaohu let out a "gudong" and fell to the ground without the support, holding an empty wine jar in his arms, and said with a face of accusation: "It's all to blame for that big tooth, he...he didn't know what to say these days Crazy, don't even look at me, even though I'm on the same level as him now, not a head taller than him, but Da Ya doesn't need such power, he doesn't even talk to me anymore, instead he climbs the son's speed every day Go. Hmph! In vain I thought he was a good man, but he is a snob! The villain..."
Wu Jiu was at a loss, and then he understood, what Da Ya was talking about must be Master Dongguo Ya Dongguo, and Gong Zisu was naturally Qihou's new adoptive son, and Wu Jiu's eldest nephew Shi Su, who was in his 20s.
Shi Su also returned to Qi with them. To be honest, Shi Su was tall, tough and handsome. Although he seldom spoke, he was a very kind person. A hard worker is also a person who has a delicate mind and considers others.
A person like Shi Su, who doesn't talk much and has a good personality, is sure that many people like to have a good relationship with him, and because Shi Su is a newcomer and the adopted son of Marquis Qi, many people dare not talk to him, Dong Guo Ya then took the initiative to help Shi Su several times, and the relationship between the two became better, and Dong Guo Ya and Shi Su could often be seen talking.
Wu Jiao thought to himself, this is a good thing, Dong Guo Ya is more friendly, allowing Shi Su to quickly integrate into the group, but why does Zhao Hu look sour?
Wu Jiu squatted down, looked at Zhaohu who was lying on the ground, poked Zhaohu's red cheek, and said, "Master Zhao, if you are jealous and want Master Dongguo to talk to you more, you can talk to Master Dongguo directly." talk."
The jealousy that Wu Jiu said actually didn't mean that, but a very orthodox friendship. As a result, Zhao Hu's face turned red with a "dang!" I... I'm not jealous, son, don't talk nonsense!"
Wu Jiu was taken aback, he didn't know why Zhao Hu reacted so much, but Zhao Hu was overly frightened, hugged Wu Jiu's neck, hung on Wu Jiu's body like a sloth, and said, "Young Master, Hu is the one who admires you. ..."
When Wu Jiu heard this, Zhao Hu was drunk and went crazy, he quickly patted him on the back and coaxed him, "Yes, Master Zhao is both civil and military, and Jiu also admires Master Zhao very much."
Wu Jiu hugged Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu hugged Wu Jiu, the scene of the two admiring each other happened to be seen by Qi Hou who was next to him. With an expression on his face, he chopped several times, and in an instant, a small piece of wild game was divided into dozens of small pieces of equal size, and then divided into minced meat.
Zhao Hu was concerned about Wu Jiu's drinking madness, and kept complaining about Dong Guo Ya's snobbish eyes. Dong Guo Ya couldn't listen anymore, so he clasped his fists with Shi Su and said, "Dong Guo Ya, go there for a while."
Shi Su still had no expression on his face, and he also raised his hands and clasped his fists. Dong Guoya hurriedly got up and walked over to pick the drunken Zhao Hu off Wu Jiu.
Zhao Hu's wine quality is not good, and he likes to hug people when he is drunk, Dong Guo Ya can't be too clear about this, Wu Jiu quickly stuffed Zhao Hu into Dong Guo Ya's arms, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Master Dong Guo Ya is here to help. "
Dong Guoya smiled faintly, and said: "It's just to trouble the young master, I'm really sorry."
Wu Jiu always felt that Master Dongguo's smile under the jumping firelight was really unpredictable.
Dong Guoya had been working as a coolie in the palace in the early years, and his strength was very strong. Zhaohu was still muttering about how powerful Da Ya was, so Dong Guoya picked him up and carried him on the ground like a sandbag. on the shoulders.
Zhaohu said "Wow!", and cried out in a mournful voice, "I'm going to vomit, uh... I'm going to vomit, don't, I'm so sad, I'm really going to vomit!"
Dong Guoya ignored him, brought Zhaohu directly into the tent, and then lowered the curtain with a "crash".
Wu Jiu watched Zhaohu enter the tent, he was relieved, and then he felt a faint vision passing through, staring at himself, like a flame.
Wu Jiu raised his head suspiciously, and just met Qi Hou's gaze, those two gazes were so hot that they could almost set people on fire, Wu Jiu was uncomfortable looking at them.
Wu Jiu saw that the roasted meat on Qihou's plate had turned into diced meat, his eyelids twitched, and he said, "Your Majesty, is this meat...not to your liking?"
Qihou smiled faintly, and said with a raised lip, "It's too sour, it's sour."
After finishing speaking, he threw the small dagger into the plate and made a "bang-dang" sound, which made Wu Jiao tremble. He saw Qihou standing up, flicking his black sleeve robe, and Shi Shi ran away. "Humph".
Wu Jiu watched everyone disperse with a dazed expression, Qi Hou walked back directly to the tent, and entered the main tent, probably to go to Yanxi.
Wu Jiu felt a little strange, he bent down and picked up the small plate on the ground, tied up a small piece of meat with a small dagger, put it in his mouth and chewed it, Wu Jiao swore that it was his own average level, and everyone else ate it He was elated and his face was full of oil, but Qi Hou actually said that the meat he roasted was sour and had a rancid smell?
It is unreasonable, there is no sour taste at all, it is reasonable to say that the wild boar pork may indeed have a grassy and sour taste, but Wu Jiao has been treated with spices, it is absolutely impossible to have this problem, and there is a rancid smell, this meat is fresh, How could there be a bad smell.
Wu Jiu simply ate all the diced meat on the plate, thinking that Qi Hou was pregnant, and sometimes he said bad things, and the next time he said bad things.
Wu Jiu ate up his own share and Qihou's share, and suddenly felt that he was going to die, his stomach was about to bulge, he stretched himself, and went back to his tent to sleep.
In the early morning of the second day, everyone had to continue their journey back. Regardless of the fact that everyone drank and ate last night, but this morning, when the sky was getting bright, the soldiers had already gotten up to prepare meals and set off for the journey.
Wu Jiu also got out of bed, stretched himself, washed and dressed, and then stepped out of the tent. The air outside was very fresh, and the winter morning light was very soft. He soon saw Shi Su coming out of the next tent, and couldn't help but It's a bit strange, after all, it's not Shi Su's tent, this time camping, only Qihou and Wu Jiu are in separate tents, the others are two or three people in one tent.
Shi Suo was supposed to be in the same tent as Zhaohu and Dong Guoya, but instead he walked out of the tent where Cao GUI was in charge of Yiwu and Bao Shuya.
Wu Jiu was very surprised, this tent is crowded with four people, is it too crowded?
Wu Jiu greeted Shi Su, and Shi Su was immediately polite, with a scrupulous face, his face paralyzed, and he cupped his fists as a salute and said, "Second Uncle."
Wu Jiu was choked up for a moment, feeling that he was being called old again, so he could only laugh dryly and said, "Why are you squeezed into this tent?"
Shi Su still had no expression on his face, he just said in a fluent manner: "Yesterday, I had a rough conversation with the senior doctors at night, and I had a lot of emotions, and I fell asleep here unconsciously."
Wu Jiu nodded, believing it to be true. At this moment, he heard a "crash", and Zhao Hu came out from the tent next to him, stretched his waist, and seemed to have not woken up yet, stretching while moaning and rubbing She rubbed her waist and said, "Hiss...I...why does my waist hurt so much?"
Wu Jiao was startled when he saw Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu's eyes were black and blue, he looked like he didn't sleep well last night, more than that, the corners of his mouth and earlobes were also broken, when Wu Jiao saw it, his heart skipped a beat. Jump, and said: "Master Zhao, you...you didn't fight with Master Dong Guo last night, right?"
Zhao Hu looked at Wu Jiu strangely, and said, "No, I seem to have drunk too much, why would I fight when I fell asleep?"
At this time, Dong Guoya also came out of the tent. He was dressed neatly, but without a belt. He held a white belt in his hand, and said to Zhaohu: "Doctor Zhong, you put on Dong Guoya's belt, this one is yours."
Zhao Hu looked down, because they were all white belts, so he was wearing the wrong belt, but it was strange, so he quickly untied it and handed it to Dong Guoya, and then lowered his head to tie the belt on himself, but his back seemed to be hurting, and his movements were not too smooth, Dong Guoya sighed In a calm tone, he said, "Stand up straight, open your hands, and I will help you."
Zhao Hu quickly stood up straight, raised his hand, and asked Dong Guo Ya to tie his belt.
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched. Although he has never been in love, he has lived two lifetimes. Looking at this ambiguous scene, as well as the wound on the corner of Zhao Hu's mouth and the tooth marks on his earlobe, those two people are wrong. Wearing the belt, I immediately felt enlightened.
Wu Jiu hurriedly walked away in embarrassment. Although Shi Suo had a face paralyzed, he was actually quite smart, so he also walked away. Only then did Wu Jiu understand that what was meant to be a late night talk with a lot of emotion was just nonsense. Shi Speed is to avoid embarrassment.
At this moment, Wu Jiu felt that Shi Su was really talented...
Soon after, Wu Jiao got into the car and before he put down the curtain, he heard Zhao Hu say "Hey!" Looking back, it turned out that Zhao Hu got on his horse and suddenly murmured to himself in a low voice. : "Why does my butt hurt? Hey! Hiss..."
The veins on Wu Jiu's forehead were about to twitch, and only the words "drunken sex" popped into his mind, and it was Zhaohu who actively plotted against him. After all, Zhaohu was drunk yesterday, and Master Dongguo was a gentle man. How could a person like him do such a thing of taking advantage of the fire?
Looks like Zhaohu doesn't remember...
Zhao Hu sat on the horse, twisting restlessly, feeling very uncomfortable, and still supporting his old waist, Cao GUI rode over from behind, seeing Zhao Hu's appearance, he immediately burst out laughing, Zhao Hu's scalp hair twitched from laughing Ma, said: "What are you laughing at?"
Cao GUI didn't say a word, just stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Hu's waist with a "snap!"
"Ah!" Zhao Hu screamed, and waved his hands to catch Cao GUI. Cao GUI is a trainer, and Zhao Hu is not feeling well today, so he couldn't catch him at all.
Guan Yiwu and Bao Shuya rode over from behind. Zhaohu saw them and said quickly, "Big Brother and Second Brother, please rub my waist for my younger brother. For some reason, it flashed last night, and it hurts so bad."
Guan Yiwu and Bao Shuya looked helpless, looked at Zhaohu, Zhaohu's scalp was numb from being stared at, and said, "What's the matter?"
Bao Shuya sighed and said, "Third brother, turn up your collar to cover it up."
That's all, take Guan Yiwu and leave first.
Zhao Hu was confused, stretched out his hand to touch his neck, let out a "hiss..." and said, "It hurts, what's going on?"
Wu Jiu watched Zhao Hu for a while, but finally couldn't stand it anymore, put down the curtain and got into the car.He got into the car, greeted Marquis Qi, and said, "Your Majesty."
Qi Hou just glanced at him faintly, then quietly withdrew his gaze, and stopped looking.
Wu Jiu was even more confused, he didn't know what happened to Qi Hou, he said last night that the meat was sour, and he still hasn't recovered from it today.
Wu Jiu said a few words, Qi Hou was indifferent, or else he would just "hum", Wu Jiu was really confused, so he had to laugh dryly and said, "Do you have anything you want for lunch?"
Qi Hou glanced at it lightly again, and finally said quietly: "Noodles."
Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing Qi Hou call for noodles, isn't this difficult?Immediately agreed, I made three big bowls of noodles when I parked for a rest at noon. This time, the ingredients were fresh, and some green leaves were put on top. With a bowl of noodles, my temper got better, and I finally stopped "humming".
Within two days, the team finally entered the city of Linzi. Three sons, son Wukui, son Yuan and son Zhao, greeted them outside Linzi city.
As soon as Qihou's convoy arrived, the officials shouted "Congratulations, Your Majesty", and then shouted "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for the League of Heaven".
Qi Hou stepped out of the black chariot, stood on top of the chariot, looked down at the worshiping officials, chuckled lightly, and said: "Please get up, gentlemen, these days when you are alone in the country are also troublesome." Gentlemen."
Qi Hou said some polite words, and quickly returned to the car, ordered the car to continue to move forward, and finally drove into the city of Linzi, the people lined the road to welcome, the scene was very spectacular.
When everyone returned to the palace of Qi, Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong hurriedly begged to see Marquis Qi, and all matters during the funeral of Marquis Qi had to be presented to Marquis Qi for review, and they were extremely busy in an instant.
Wu Jiu, on the other hand, let go of his status as a special envoy, but was very leisurely. As soon as he returned to the palace, he couldn't sit still. He immediately took Ziqing and Yan'e, changed his clothes and left the palace again. The purpose of course was to see Look at your own little restaurant.
It is said to be a small restaurant, but Wu Jiu’s restaurant was opened in the mansion of the prince. Although it only sells pancakes and soy milk, it is extremely luxurious, and there are queues all day long, and there is no time when you don’t need to wait for a table. , all the people who came to eat were nobles or gentry, as well as people who came from thousands of miles from other countries.
Before arriving one street away, the road ahead was blocked, Wu Jiao was a little surprised, and said, "What's going on?"
Yan'e said, "Isn't someone causing trouble?"
Several people squeezed forward for a long time, Ziqing and Yan'e blocked the people next to them, opened the way for Wu Jiu, and when they got to the front, they realized that the people on this street were not causing trouble, but diners queuing up...
Wu Jiao was almost dumbfounded. As soon as he arrived, the boss in charge of the restaurant rushed out immediately, and said with joy on his face, "Master! You are back! You are back! That's great!"
Wu Jiu thought that the steward missed him, and was a little complacent, but the steward wept with joy and said, "My lord, the granary is bursting, you can come back, my lord, think of a way, the food has flowed out."
When Wu Jiu heard it, he thought he had misunderstood it. After all, his house was very big. Except for the accommodation for the employees, it was just a granary. In the dining room, the dining room is on the left, and the staff dormitory is on the right. The whole area behind is full of food, which is already on the verge of peaking, and the food has slid down from the small hill bag and rolled at Wu Jiu's feet.
Wu Jiu looked at the grain in a courtyard, and couldn't help saying in surprise, "The business is so good?"
The steward complained and said: "Hey, son, it was a good place a few days ago, much more spectacular than this scene, but recently, many shops are vying to follow suit, and overnight, many shops popped up in Linzi city. Shops that sell pancakes like ours, some of them are exactly the same, so the business is a bit colder."
Wu Jiao glanced back at the "cold" business, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I'll call the cooks later, and I'll teach them how to make noodles. It's time for us to serve new dishes."
The steward nodded quickly and said, "Yes!"
As he spoke, he said with a frowning face, "What... what about this food?"
Wu Jiu looked at the mountain of grain, and felt that he would be rich enough to rival the country in less than a year. If so, he might not be afraid of the threat of Lu State.
Wu Jiao thought for a while and said, "Take out three points of the food and distribute it equally to reward the guys. It's been a hard few months."
The steward nodded again and again, and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for your kindness!"
Wu Jiu said again: "Take out another four cents, distribute the food, and help the refugees."
The steward was dumbfounded, anyway, he had never seen such a generous person.
He also heard Wu Jiu say: "Two cents, you go and exchange the grain for Qi Dao for me. I have my own plans in the future, and the last cent will be kept in the granary for the principal of the business."
The steward immediately said: "Yes, I will obey the young master's orders, and the villain will do it right away."
Wu Jiu nodded, and waved his hand to let the steward go. With these two cents of food in exchange for Qi Dao, Wu Jiu can be regarded as rich, in case of emergencies, and he will not be restrained everywhere.
Wu Jiu worked hard for half a day, handed over the method of making noodles to the cooks, and then left the small restaurant, had lunch, and was ready to go back to the palace in the afternoon.
When Wu Jiao returned to the palace, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a small cannonball-like thing, "Da da da!" and ran over, with a "gu dong", stuck in Wu Jiao's arms, Wu Jiao almost He was knocked down, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Xiaodier.
Little Di'er tucked into Wu Jiu's arms and said, "Father, Di'er misses my foster father so much!"
Wu Jiao hugged Xiao Di'er, feeling satisfied in his heart, it was fragrant and soft, and there was a smell of milk, it was so cute, his little head kept rubbing against Wu Jiao's neck, and the circles under his eyes were still in an instant. famous.
Wu Jiu hurriedly coaxed Xiao Di'er, saying: "My dear Di'er, how can a man cry so easily, let the adoptive father see if he is fat or thin."
Wu Jiu picked up Xiao Di'er, feeling heavy, but not as heavy as when he left. Looking closely, he seemed to have lost some weight. Although his cheeks were still fleshy, they were not as round as before.
Wu Jiao asked in surprise, "How did Xiao Di'er lose weight?"
At this moment, Ning Qi wandered in from the outside, like a little adult, with his hands behind his back, he walked over, but when he opened his mouth, he complained, saying: "Di'er always cries and doesn't eat well, naturally she lost weight. "
Wu Jiu heard Ning Qi say that he didn't eat while crying, and immediately said: "Di'er is not good, why is he crying and not eating?"
Little Di'er hung her head softly, pouted her pink mouth, and said a little aggrieved, "Di'er will be obedient."
Wu Jiu held Di'er in his arms, sat on the mat, and said, "Then Di'er, tell foster father, what's wrong with you?"
Sitting in Wu Jiao's arms, little Di'er grabbed Wu Jiu's clothes and said pitifully, "Because Di'er hasn't seen Daddy for several days, Daddy promised to make candied haws for Di'er once, but Daddy's words don't count. "
Because Di'er likes candied haws very much, and it's not difficult to make candied haws, so I handed it over to Yi Ya to make it for Di'er.
When Wu Jiao heard this, he felt a "thump" in his heart. Because he had a lot of things to do before, such as going to the funeral, Wu Jiao was very busy, and he forgot about Yi Ya. When I got up, I was a little flustered.
After all, Marquis Qi had exposed Yi Ya's identity before, and Yi Ya was defeated in an ambush, so he might have been in prison by this time, let alone making candied haws for Di'er.
Wu Jiu hugged Di'er to Yan'e and said, "I'll go out for a while, you take care of Di'er."
Xiao Di'er was a bit reluctant to leave Wu Jiao, after all he hadn't seen his father for several days, so he went to ask Brother Wu Kui and Brother Zhao, but neither of them said anything, just let Xiao Di'er behave.
Young Master Wu Kui is a meticulous master. Although Qi Hou kept this matter a secret, Qi Hou also made a lot of arrangements in the palace.
Huzi is the person Gongsun Xipeng stayed behind to watch over Yi Ya. Ever since Yi Ya was exposed that day, Huzi immediately ordered to arrest him. Yi Ya has already been imprisoned and is waiting for Qihou to come back. .
Although Young Master Wu Kui didn't know about such a big matter beforehand, he knew about it later. Although Young Master Zhao was only in his early ten years old, he always looked timid, but Young Master Zhao was actually very calm, and his mind was no longer that of a child. I knew it in my heart, so naturally I wouldn't tell Xiao Di'er.
That day Xiao Di'er met Gongzi Yuan in the garden, and Gongzi Yuan taunted him a few words, saying that if Wu Jiu hadn't taken him in, he might not be able to be arrogant in the Garden of Love at this time, and he would also become a prisoner.
Di'er didn't understand what a "prisoner under the ranks" meant, but Ning Qi who was chasing Di'er to "bully" did understand. Ning Qi was a rare genius, and his mind was even worse than that of some adults. Understood.
Wu Jiu came out of the room, and Ning Qi also came out, and said in a low voice, "About a month ago, the emperor sent General Huben Zhonglang to take Yong Wu down."
When Wu Jiu heard this, only the word "sure enough" remained in his heart, he was a little unsteady, knowing this, Yi Ya would definitely be unable to keep him, but in this way, Di'er lost his father, even though Di'er It wasn't Yi Ya's own birth at all, he didn't have a father, he just had two adoptive fathers, but Di'er is still young, he doesn't know this truth at all, if he keeps lying to Di'er, he probably won't be able to.
Wu Jiao turned around like a mill, wondering how to explain this problem to Di'er, and Xiao Ningqi next to him was like turning a mill, following Wu Jiao around.
At this moment, an eunuch came over and hurriedly bowed to Wu Jiu, saying, "My lord, you are back. Your Majesty has been looking for you all morning."
Wu Jiu asked in surprise, "Looking for me?"
The eunuch said, "Yes, Your Majesty invites you, son, to go to Jailan province to commit crimes together."
In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the name of the prison was Jail. Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the prisons were collectively called Jail, and the two beasts, Bi and An, referred to the prison or the guards guarding the prison, so they were also called Jail.
As soon as Wu Jiu heard it, he knew that Qihou asked him to go to see Yi Ya in the prison, so he turned to Ning Qi and said, "I'll be back when I go, you go and stay with Di'er for a while."
Ning Qi nodded, skipped and left, and then Wu Jiu followed the eunuch to Marquis Qi's place.
After Qihou came back, he first coordinated the various matters submitted by Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong, and then called Gongsun Xipeng immediately.
As soon as Gongsun Xipeng returned to Linzi City, he felt a little depressed. Everyone else was thinking about returning, but Gongsun Xipeng knew that he would definitely have something to do when he came back.
And this matter is inevitable.
Sure enough, Marquis Qi's edict came down very soon, asking Gongsun Xipeng to take someone to interrogate Yi Ya himself, to see if there were any other Bai Di people in the palace.
Gongsun Xipeng accepted the edict calmly, put on his official robes, and after everything was in order, he went out, got on a tall horse, and went to the prison with his attendants.
This is not an ordinary jail, petty theft, petty troublemakers will not be locked up in this kind of place at all, spies sent by various countries, or traitors who sell military secrets, will be detained here, and those who enter here People generally have only two choices, the first is the death penalty, of course there are also car crashes, and the second is castration, almost no one is released with a good reputation.
When Gongsun Xipeng saw the high black wall, he walked slowly, stopped before the prison, turned over and dismounted quickly, and then waved: "Follow me."
The attendants followed Gongsun Xipeng and walked quickly into the prison. The officials guarding the prison had already been waiting. They knew that Qihou's funeral procession would enter Linzi City today, and Qihou would definitely send someone to see this new prisoner. For the detailed work, they have already sent people to wait.
But everyone never expected that it was the senior doctor Gongsun Xipeng they were waiting for. As the chief executive officer, Gongsun Xipeng is indeed within the scope of his field of view to inquire about these matters, but this can be regarded as killing a chicken with a sledgehammer , It really shocked the guards in the prison.
Gongsun Xipeng walked in with a cold face and said, "Where is Wu Yong? Xipeng was ordered to investigate."
The guard hurriedly said: "The villain has seen Da Sixing, Yong Wu is inside, please Da Sixing."
Gongsun Xipeng nodded slightly, and soon the guards led him to go in quickly. The prison was narrow and narrow, with a gray and black tone, and it didn't look very clean. The aristocrats who lived in rich clothes and fine food couldn't accept it.
Gongsun Xipeng strode forward, only frowning, and he didn't seem to have a bit of aristocratic coquettish appearance. His hands involuntarily rested on the sword at his waist, clenched slightly, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly.
The guard opened the prison door, and with a "squeak" sound, everyone saw a young man sitting under the ventilation window of the cell in the dark cell, with one leg bent, fingers on his knees, and a pointed The chin and the other leg are straight. If it weren't for the black chains on his body, he might have thought that this man was basking in the warm winter sun leisurely.
The man didn't have the usual dark red clothes, but a prison uniform. He looked a little thinner, but the expression on his face was still light, with a bit of tenderness and a smile.
It was Yi Ya.
When he heard the sound of the door opening, he didn't look back, but said softly, "Is the execution going to be executed today?"
The guard said, "Yong Wu, Da Sixing has come to interrogate you."
As he said, Yi Ya finally turned his head, with a trace of surprise in his eyes, he saw Gongsun Xipeng standing at the door, condescending, and immediately laughed.
Seeing his impoliteness, the guard immediately hit the prison door with his sword and shouted, "Yong Wu, why don't you show respect when you see Da Sixing?!"
But Gongsun Xipeng raised his hand, stopped his words, and said flatly: "Everyone go out."
The detainees here are all meticulous, and the guards know very well that there are very few interrogators who can be observed, so the attendants and guards retreated, closed the door, and stood at a distance to wait for orders.
Yi Ya sat without moving, Gongsun Xipeng looked around for a while, then took a step, approached Yi Ya slowly, looked at him with narrowed eyes, without a trace of expression on his face, and said lightly: "Baidi people The prince, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Yong family to take back the concubine son, sneaked into the Yong family and sneaked into the Qi palace as a cook, am I right?"
Yi Ya just smiled faintly, seeing Gongsun Xipeng's right hand resting on the saber and holding it tightly, the veins on the back of his hand were exposed and stretched vertically and horizontally.
Yi Ya glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Why is General Gongsun so nervous? Haven't you already investigated my details? I don't know martial arts, so General Gongsun can rest assured."
However, Gongsun Xipeng did not let go of his hand from his sword, and pressed the corners of his mouth down. He said in a calm, slightly hoarse voice, "When you were in Liangqiuyi, you said that you were robbed by the Baidi people on the border of Jin State. Being rescued by me is naturally a lie?"
Yi Ya nodded lightly and said, "Yes."
Gongsun Xipeng said again: "You said that Di'er is your friend's widowed son, is that also a lie?"
Yi Ya nodded again and said, "Yes."
Gongsun Xipeng asked for the third time, "You brought Di'er by your side because you wanted to use Di'er as a shield to block arrows?"
Yi Ya paused this time, and then said, "I can't deny it, after all, I know that Da Si has good intentions."
Gongsun Xipeng suddenly laughed out loud, with blue veins popping on his forehead, and said, "You know that I am kind? Xipeng has been in the officialdom for 20 years, and his hands are stained with more blood than your body. I am not He is a kind-hearted person. Where is Di'er? You have been in prison for a full term, do you know what Di'er who is being used by you is thinking? In his heart, you should not stay here!"
Gongsun Xipeng said, holding the saber in his hand, and the saber made a golden sound of "buzzing".
Yi Ya was finally a little moved when he heard this, but he squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "General Gongsun is really a righteous hero, but it's a pity that we are our own masters, what Wu did today, I don't have the slightest regret in my heart. General Gongsun, Di'er is of the blood of the Zhou Dynasty. He was rescued by the Wu in the border village. He didn't know who his parents were. The Wu saved his life, but he didn't feel sorry for Di'er. Seeing him again, Wu really likes Di'er."
After hearing his words, Gongsun Xipeng laughed instead, as if a little laughing, and said, "Blood of the Zhou Dynasty?"
Yi Ya thought that he would have misunderstood Gongsun Xipeng's intentions if he didn't believe it, and his face darkened, and he quickly said, "Di'er is indeed from the blood of the Zhou Dynasty, not from my clan. Besides, Di'er is now the adopted son of Gongzi Jiu. Your monarch of Qi will not let go of even a single child?"
Gongsun Xipeng just looked at him and said, "Don't worry, Di'er will be fine. Xi Peng said it was you."
Yi Ya didn't understand what he said, frowned and said, "What do you mean, General?"
Gongsun Xipeng looked at Yi Ya, and his voice rolled twice, but at this moment, he suddenly heard laughter from far to near, and soon saw the prison door being pushed open with a "squeak", wearing a black court robe, Qihou wearing a crown came in from the outside, followed by Wu Jiu.
Seeing the filth in the cell, Wu Jian frowned, but now is not the time for cleanliness, so he had to endure it.
Qi Hou looked in a good mood, looked Yi Ya up and down, and said, "Prince Baidi, what's the problem if you want to know what this means? The orphan will tell you."
Yi Ya frowned even more, stood up slowly from the ground, looked at the three people, and said, "What do you mean?"
Qihou smiled, and said quietly: "You said just now that everyone is the master, that is a big mistake."
Yi Ya was a little flustered in his heart, as could be seen from his complexion, he took a step forward, and Gongsun Xipeng responded immediately, "嗤—" With a sound, the long sword was drawn out of its sheath, and it was pulled out suddenly, and it fell on Yi Ya's neck On the ground, the sharp point of the sword almost cut Yi Ya's neck, and said sharply: "Bold Wu Wu, back off!"
Qi Hou was very satisfied with Gongsun Xipeng's reaction, smiled, raised his hand to stop Gongsun Xipeng, and then lightly touched his right cheek, the scar on his cheek was almost gone, if you don't look carefully , It is not clear that there was a serious injury there.
Qihou put his thumb on his chin with his backhand, rubbed the invisible scar on his cheek with his index finger, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "You and Di'er,
Dong Guoya squinted his eyes, raised his hand and whipped Zhaohu's horse's buttocks, and Zhaohu's horse jumped forward in an instant. Fortunately, Zhaohu was good at it and didn't fall off, so hurry up Ma Rein, looking back, saw that it was Dong Guo Ya who was playing tricks, and said loudly, "Da Ya, you sinister villain, are you going to throw me to death?"
Dong Guoya smiled and said, "Doctor Zhong is so skilled, how could he fall to his death? At most, he would be injured."
Zhao Hu was so angry with him that he was about to turn around to teach Dong Guo Ya a lesson, but Dong Guo Ya reined in the horse and slowed down, and turned to talk to Shi Su.
Because in Luoshi, Zhou Tianzi has personally appointed Qihou as the princes of the alliance on behalf of the emperor, so all countries want to curry favor with Qi, and the road is unimpeded. Qihou deliberately made people avoid Weiguo and took a detour , other countries are scrambling to borrow the road for Qi to pass, so the journey is quite smooth.
It was almost time to reach the territory of Qi State this day, and everyone was tired, so they set up camp and came down to rest.
Seeing that they are going back to Qi State, not to mention Wu Jiu, even the Huben soldiers are very happy. It was still late autumn and early winter when they left, and it was already time for the wax festival when they came back. They have been away from Qi State for so many months. Especially the ancients, there is always a kind of thinking of returning to the root, and they miss it very much.
Tomorrow they will be able to enter the country, everyone is very happy, sitting around the bonfire, all of them are extremely excited, Qihou also specially distributed all the wine and meat brought from Master Luo, to reward the tiger and ben army who have worked hard all the way.
Wu Jiu made a lot of barbecue with the wild game he brought in, and distributed it to everyone. Everyone ate and drank, and the atmosphere was very high-spirited.
It seemed that Hou Qi hadn't been this happy for a long time. After all the two major concerns were resolved, he drank a few more glasses of wine.
Wu Jiao was still grilling wild game by the fire, when Zhao Hu sat down beside him with a blushing face, tilted his head with a "gudong", and leaned on Wu Jiao's shoulder.
Wu Jiao was startled, turned his head to look, Zhao Hu had drunk too much, Zhao Hu's wine was also very bad, and it was too strong to drink, so it was easy to drink too high.
He got drunk, leaned against Wu Jiao, frowned with his mouth puckered, as if he was thinking about something important.
While grilling, Wu Jiu sprinkled the condiments on it and said, "Master Zhao, is there something on your mind?"
Zhao Hu said not very eloquently: "What's on your mind? No, no... no, why did you say that?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Then how can master Zhao drink away his sorrows? This is not a good way, it's even worse to drink away his sorrows."
Zhao Hu chuckled and said, "Really not."
Wu Jiu didn't ask any more questions. Unexpectedly, after a while, Zhao Hu grabbed his sleeve and was about to wipe his nose. Wu Jiao was really shocked this time. After all, he is a clean freak. Zhao Hu This action was too frightening, and it was extremely threatening to Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu hurriedly backed away a little, and said, "Master Zhao, don't get excited, just speak up if you have something to say."
Zhaohu let out a "gudong" and fell to the ground without the support, holding an empty wine jar in his arms, and said with a face of accusation: "It's all to blame for that big tooth, he...he didn't know what to say these days Crazy, don't even look at me, even though I'm on the same level as him now, not a head taller than him, but Da Ya doesn't need such power, he doesn't even talk to me anymore, instead he climbs the son's speed every day Go. Hmph! In vain I thought he was a good man, but he is a snob! The villain..."
Wu Jiu was at a loss, and then he understood, what Da Ya was talking about must be Master Dongguo Ya Dongguo, and Gong Zisu was naturally Qihou's new adoptive son, and Wu Jiu's eldest nephew Shi Su, who was in his 20s.
Shi Su also returned to Qi with them. To be honest, Shi Su was tall, tough and handsome. Although he seldom spoke, he was a very kind person. A hard worker is also a person who has a delicate mind and considers others.
A person like Shi Su, who doesn't talk much and has a good personality, is sure that many people like to have a good relationship with him, and because Shi Su is a newcomer and the adopted son of Marquis Qi, many people dare not talk to him, Dong Guo Ya then took the initiative to help Shi Su several times, and the relationship between the two became better, and Dong Guo Ya and Shi Su could often be seen talking.
Wu Jiao thought to himself, this is a good thing, Dong Guo Ya is more friendly, allowing Shi Su to quickly integrate into the group, but why does Zhao Hu look sour?
Wu Jiu squatted down, looked at Zhaohu who was lying on the ground, poked Zhaohu's red cheek, and said, "Master Zhao, if you are jealous and want Master Dongguo to talk to you more, you can talk to Master Dongguo directly." talk."
The jealousy that Wu Jiu said actually didn't mean that, but a very orthodox friendship. As a result, Zhao Hu's face turned red with a "dang!" I... I'm not jealous, son, don't talk nonsense!"
Wu Jiu was taken aback, he didn't know why Zhao Hu reacted so much, but Zhao Hu was overly frightened, hugged Wu Jiu's neck, hung on Wu Jiu's body like a sloth, and said, "Young Master, Hu is the one who admires you. ..."
When Wu Jiu heard this, Zhao Hu was drunk and went crazy, he quickly patted him on the back and coaxed him, "Yes, Master Zhao is both civil and military, and Jiu also admires Master Zhao very much."
Wu Jiu hugged Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu hugged Wu Jiu, the scene of the two admiring each other happened to be seen by Qi Hou who was next to him. With an expression on his face, he chopped several times, and in an instant, a small piece of wild game was divided into dozens of small pieces of equal size, and then divided into minced meat.
Zhao Hu was concerned about Wu Jiu's drinking madness, and kept complaining about Dong Guo Ya's snobbish eyes. Dong Guo Ya couldn't listen anymore, so he clasped his fists with Shi Su and said, "Dong Guo Ya, go there for a while."
Shi Su still had no expression on his face, and he also raised his hands and clasped his fists. Dong Guoya hurriedly got up and walked over to pick the drunken Zhao Hu off Wu Jiu.
Zhao Hu's wine quality is not good, and he likes to hug people when he is drunk, Dong Guo Ya can't be too clear about this, Wu Jiu quickly stuffed Zhao Hu into Dong Guo Ya's arms, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Master Dong Guo Ya is here to help. "
Dong Guoya smiled faintly, and said: "It's just to trouble the young master, I'm really sorry."
Wu Jiu always felt that Master Dongguo's smile under the jumping firelight was really unpredictable.
Dong Guoya had been working as a coolie in the palace in the early years, and his strength was very strong. Zhaohu was still muttering about how powerful Da Ya was, so Dong Guoya picked him up and carried him on the ground like a sandbag. on the shoulders.
Zhaohu said "Wow!", and cried out in a mournful voice, "I'm going to vomit, uh... I'm going to vomit, don't, I'm so sad, I'm really going to vomit!"
Dong Guoya ignored him, brought Zhaohu directly into the tent, and then lowered the curtain with a "crash".
Wu Jiu watched Zhaohu enter the tent, he was relieved, and then he felt a faint vision passing through, staring at himself, like a flame.
Wu Jiu raised his head suspiciously, and just met Qi Hou's gaze, those two gazes were so hot that they could almost set people on fire, Wu Jiu was uncomfortable looking at them.
Wu Jiu saw that the roasted meat on Qihou's plate had turned into diced meat, his eyelids twitched, and he said, "Your Majesty, is this meat...not to your liking?"
Qihou smiled faintly, and said with a raised lip, "It's too sour, it's sour."
After finishing speaking, he threw the small dagger into the plate and made a "bang-dang" sound, which made Wu Jiao tremble. He saw Qihou standing up, flicking his black sleeve robe, and Shi Shi ran away. "Humph".
Wu Jiu watched everyone disperse with a dazed expression, Qi Hou walked back directly to the tent, and entered the main tent, probably to go to Yanxi.
Wu Jiu felt a little strange, he bent down and picked up the small plate on the ground, tied up a small piece of meat with a small dagger, put it in his mouth and chewed it, Wu Jiao swore that it was his own average level, and everyone else ate it He was elated and his face was full of oil, but Qi Hou actually said that the meat he roasted was sour and had a rancid smell?
It is unreasonable, there is no sour taste at all, it is reasonable to say that the wild boar pork may indeed have a grassy and sour taste, but Wu Jiao has been treated with spices, it is absolutely impossible to have this problem, and there is a rancid smell, this meat is fresh, How could there be a bad smell.
Wu Jiu simply ate all the diced meat on the plate, thinking that Qi Hou was pregnant, and sometimes he said bad things, and the next time he said bad things.
Wu Jiu ate up his own share and Qihou's share, and suddenly felt that he was going to die, his stomach was about to bulge, he stretched himself, and went back to his tent to sleep.
In the early morning of the second day, everyone had to continue their journey back. Regardless of the fact that everyone drank and ate last night, but this morning, when the sky was getting bright, the soldiers had already gotten up to prepare meals and set off for the journey.
Wu Jiu also got out of bed, stretched himself, washed and dressed, and then stepped out of the tent. The air outside was very fresh, and the winter morning light was very soft. He soon saw Shi Su coming out of the next tent, and couldn't help but It's a bit strange, after all, it's not Shi Su's tent, this time camping, only Qihou and Wu Jiu are in separate tents, the others are two or three people in one tent.
Shi Suo was supposed to be in the same tent as Zhaohu and Dong Guoya, but instead he walked out of the tent where Cao GUI was in charge of Yiwu and Bao Shuya.
Wu Jiu was very surprised, this tent is crowded with four people, is it too crowded?
Wu Jiu greeted Shi Su, and Shi Su was immediately polite, with a scrupulous face, his face paralyzed, and he cupped his fists as a salute and said, "Second Uncle."
Wu Jiu was choked up for a moment, feeling that he was being called old again, so he could only laugh dryly and said, "Why are you squeezed into this tent?"
Shi Su still had no expression on his face, he just said in a fluent manner: "Yesterday, I had a rough conversation with the senior doctors at night, and I had a lot of emotions, and I fell asleep here unconsciously."
Wu Jiu nodded, believing it to be true. At this moment, he heard a "crash", and Zhao Hu came out from the tent next to him, stretched his waist, and seemed to have not woken up yet, stretching while moaning and rubbing She rubbed her waist and said, "Hiss...I...why does my waist hurt so much?"
Wu Jiao was startled when he saw Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu's eyes were black and blue, he looked like he didn't sleep well last night, more than that, the corners of his mouth and earlobes were also broken, when Wu Jiao saw it, his heart skipped a beat. Jump, and said: "Master Zhao, you...you didn't fight with Master Dong Guo last night, right?"
Zhao Hu looked at Wu Jiu strangely, and said, "No, I seem to have drunk too much, why would I fight when I fell asleep?"
At this time, Dong Guoya also came out of the tent. He was dressed neatly, but without a belt. He held a white belt in his hand, and said to Zhaohu: "Doctor Zhong, you put on Dong Guoya's belt, this one is yours."
Zhao Hu looked down, because they were all white belts, so he was wearing the wrong belt, but it was strange, so he quickly untied it and handed it to Dong Guoya, and then lowered his head to tie the belt on himself, but his back seemed to be hurting, and his movements were not too smooth, Dong Guoya sighed In a calm tone, he said, "Stand up straight, open your hands, and I will help you."
Zhao Hu quickly stood up straight, raised his hand, and asked Dong Guo Ya to tie his belt.
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched. Although he has never been in love, he has lived two lifetimes. Looking at this ambiguous scene, as well as the wound on the corner of Zhao Hu's mouth and the tooth marks on his earlobe, those two people are wrong. Wearing the belt, I immediately felt enlightened.
Wu Jiu hurriedly walked away in embarrassment. Although Shi Suo had a face paralyzed, he was actually quite smart, so he also walked away. Only then did Wu Jiu understand that what was meant to be a late night talk with a lot of emotion was just nonsense. Shi Speed is to avoid embarrassment.
At this moment, Wu Jiu felt that Shi Su was really talented...
Soon after, Wu Jiao got into the car and before he put down the curtain, he heard Zhao Hu say "Hey!" Looking back, it turned out that Zhao Hu got on his horse and suddenly murmured to himself in a low voice. : "Why does my butt hurt? Hey! Hiss..."
The veins on Wu Jiu's forehead were about to twitch, and only the words "drunken sex" popped into his mind, and it was Zhaohu who actively plotted against him. After all, Zhaohu was drunk yesterday, and Master Dongguo was a gentle man. How could a person like him do such a thing of taking advantage of the fire?
Looks like Zhaohu doesn't remember...
Zhao Hu sat on the horse, twisting restlessly, feeling very uncomfortable, and still supporting his old waist, Cao GUI rode over from behind, seeing Zhao Hu's appearance, he immediately burst out laughing, Zhao Hu's scalp hair twitched from laughing Ma, said: "What are you laughing at?"
Cao GUI didn't say a word, just stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Hu's waist with a "snap!"
"Ah!" Zhao Hu screamed, and waved his hands to catch Cao GUI. Cao GUI is a trainer, and Zhao Hu is not feeling well today, so he couldn't catch him at all.
Guan Yiwu and Bao Shuya rode over from behind. Zhaohu saw them and said quickly, "Big Brother and Second Brother, please rub my waist for my younger brother. For some reason, it flashed last night, and it hurts so bad."
Guan Yiwu and Bao Shuya looked helpless, looked at Zhaohu, Zhaohu's scalp was numb from being stared at, and said, "What's the matter?"
Bao Shuya sighed and said, "Third brother, turn up your collar to cover it up."
That's all, take Guan Yiwu and leave first.
Zhao Hu was confused, stretched out his hand to touch his neck, let out a "hiss..." and said, "It hurts, what's going on?"
Wu Jiu watched Zhao Hu for a while, but finally couldn't stand it anymore, put down the curtain and got into the car.He got into the car, greeted Marquis Qi, and said, "Your Majesty."
Qi Hou just glanced at him faintly, then quietly withdrew his gaze, and stopped looking.
Wu Jiu was even more confused, he didn't know what happened to Qi Hou, he said last night that the meat was sour, and he still hasn't recovered from it today.
Wu Jiu said a few words, Qi Hou was indifferent, or else he would just "hum", Wu Jiu was really confused, so he had to laugh dryly and said, "Do you have anything you want for lunch?"
Qi Hou glanced at it lightly again, and finally said quietly: "Noodles."
Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief. Hearing Qi Hou call for noodles, isn't this difficult?Immediately agreed, I made three big bowls of noodles when I parked for a rest at noon. This time, the ingredients were fresh, and some green leaves were put on top. With a bowl of noodles, my temper got better, and I finally stopped "humming".
Within two days, the team finally entered the city of Linzi. Three sons, son Wukui, son Yuan and son Zhao, greeted them outside Linzi city.
As soon as Qihou's convoy arrived, the officials shouted "Congratulations, Your Majesty", and then shouted "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for the League of Heaven".
Qi Hou stepped out of the black chariot, stood on top of the chariot, looked down at the worshiping officials, chuckled lightly, and said: "Please get up, gentlemen, these days when you are alone in the country are also troublesome." Gentlemen."
Qi Hou said some polite words, and quickly returned to the car, ordered the car to continue to move forward, and finally drove into the city of Linzi, the people lined the road to welcome, the scene was very spectacular.
When everyone returned to the palace of Qi, Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong hurriedly begged to see Marquis Qi, and all matters during the funeral of Marquis Qi had to be presented to Marquis Qi for review, and they were extremely busy in an instant.
Wu Jiu, on the other hand, let go of his status as a special envoy, but was very leisurely. As soon as he returned to the palace, he couldn't sit still. He immediately took Ziqing and Yan'e, changed his clothes and left the palace again. The purpose of course was to see Look at your own little restaurant.
It is said to be a small restaurant, but Wu Jiu’s restaurant was opened in the mansion of the prince. Although it only sells pancakes and soy milk, it is extremely luxurious, and there are queues all day long, and there is no time when you don’t need to wait for a table. , all the people who came to eat were nobles or gentry, as well as people who came from thousands of miles from other countries.
Before arriving one street away, the road ahead was blocked, Wu Jiao was a little surprised, and said, "What's going on?"
Yan'e said, "Isn't someone causing trouble?"
Several people squeezed forward for a long time, Ziqing and Yan'e blocked the people next to them, opened the way for Wu Jiu, and when they got to the front, they realized that the people on this street were not causing trouble, but diners queuing up...
Wu Jiao was almost dumbfounded. As soon as he arrived, the boss in charge of the restaurant rushed out immediately, and said with joy on his face, "Master! You are back! You are back! That's great!"
Wu Jiu thought that the steward missed him, and was a little complacent, but the steward wept with joy and said, "My lord, the granary is bursting, you can come back, my lord, think of a way, the food has flowed out."
When Wu Jiu heard it, he thought he had misunderstood it. After all, his house was very big. Except for the accommodation for the employees, it was just a granary. In the dining room, the dining room is on the left, and the staff dormitory is on the right. The whole area behind is full of food, which is already on the verge of peaking, and the food has slid down from the small hill bag and rolled at Wu Jiu's feet.
Wu Jiu looked at the grain in a courtyard, and couldn't help saying in surprise, "The business is so good?"
The steward complained and said: "Hey, son, it was a good place a few days ago, much more spectacular than this scene, but recently, many shops are vying to follow suit, and overnight, many shops popped up in Linzi city. Shops that sell pancakes like ours, some of them are exactly the same, so the business is a bit colder."
Wu Jiao glanced back at the "cold" business, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I'll call the cooks later, and I'll teach them how to make noodles. It's time for us to serve new dishes."
The steward nodded quickly and said, "Yes!"
As he spoke, he said with a frowning face, "What... what about this food?"
Wu Jiu looked at the mountain of grain, and felt that he would be rich enough to rival the country in less than a year. If so, he might not be afraid of the threat of Lu State.
Wu Jiao thought for a while and said, "Take out three points of the food and distribute it equally to reward the guys. It's been a hard few months."
The steward nodded again and again, and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for your kindness!"
Wu Jiu said again: "Take out another four cents, distribute the food, and help the refugees."
The steward was dumbfounded, anyway, he had never seen such a generous person.
He also heard Wu Jiu say: "Two cents, you go and exchange the grain for Qi Dao for me. I have my own plans in the future, and the last cent will be kept in the granary for the principal of the business."
The steward immediately said: "Yes, I will obey the young master's orders, and the villain will do it right away."
Wu Jiu nodded, and waved his hand to let the steward go. With these two cents of food in exchange for Qi Dao, Wu Jiu can be regarded as rich, in case of emergencies, and he will not be restrained everywhere.
Wu Jiu worked hard for half a day, handed over the method of making noodles to the cooks, and then left the small restaurant, had lunch, and was ready to go back to the palace in the afternoon.
When Wu Jiao returned to the palace, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a small cannonball-like thing, "Da da da!" and ran over, with a "gu dong", stuck in Wu Jiao's arms, Wu Jiao almost He was knocked down, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Xiaodier.
Little Di'er tucked into Wu Jiu's arms and said, "Father, Di'er misses my foster father so much!"
Wu Jiao hugged Xiao Di'er, feeling satisfied in his heart, it was fragrant and soft, and there was a smell of milk, it was so cute, his little head kept rubbing against Wu Jiao's neck, and the circles under his eyes were still in an instant. famous.
Wu Jiu hurriedly coaxed Xiao Di'er, saying: "My dear Di'er, how can a man cry so easily, let the adoptive father see if he is fat or thin."
Wu Jiu picked up Xiao Di'er, feeling heavy, but not as heavy as when he left. Looking closely, he seemed to have lost some weight. Although his cheeks were still fleshy, they were not as round as before.
Wu Jiao asked in surprise, "How did Xiao Di'er lose weight?"
At this moment, Ning Qi wandered in from the outside, like a little adult, with his hands behind his back, he walked over, but when he opened his mouth, he complained, saying: "Di'er always cries and doesn't eat well, naturally she lost weight. "
Wu Jiu heard Ning Qi say that he didn't eat while crying, and immediately said: "Di'er is not good, why is he crying and not eating?"
Little Di'er hung her head softly, pouted her pink mouth, and said a little aggrieved, "Di'er will be obedient."
Wu Jiu held Di'er in his arms, sat on the mat, and said, "Then Di'er, tell foster father, what's wrong with you?"
Sitting in Wu Jiao's arms, little Di'er grabbed Wu Jiu's clothes and said pitifully, "Because Di'er hasn't seen Daddy for several days, Daddy promised to make candied haws for Di'er once, but Daddy's words don't count. "
Because Di'er likes candied haws very much, and it's not difficult to make candied haws, so I handed it over to Yi Ya to make it for Di'er.
When Wu Jiao heard this, he felt a "thump" in his heart. Because he had a lot of things to do before, such as going to the funeral, Wu Jiao was very busy, and he forgot about Yi Ya. When I got up, I was a little flustered.
After all, Marquis Qi had exposed Yi Ya's identity before, and Yi Ya was defeated in an ambush, so he might have been in prison by this time, let alone making candied haws for Di'er.
Wu Jiu hugged Di'er to Yan'e and said, "I'll go out for a while, you take care of Di'er."
Xiao Di'er was a bit reluctant to leave Wu Jiao, after all he hadn't seen his father for several days, so he went to ask Brother Wu Kui and Brother Zhao, but neither of them said anything, just let Xiao Di'er behave.
Young Master Wu Kui is a meticulous master. Although Qi Hou kept this matter a secret, Qi Hou also made a lot of arrangements in the palace.
Huzi is the person Gongsun Xipeng stayed behind to watch over Yi Ya. Ever since Yi Ya was exposed that day, Huzi immediately ordered to arrest him. Yi Ya has already been imprisoned and is waiting for Qihou to come back. .
Although Young Master Wu Kui didn't know about such a big matter beforehand, he knew about it later. Although Young Master Zhao was only in his early ten years old, he always looked timid, but Young Master Zhao was actually very calm, and his mind was no longer that of a child. I knew it in my heart, so naturally I wouldn't tell Xiao Di'er.
That day Xiao Di'er met Gongzi Yuan in the garden, and Gongzi Yuan taunted him a few words, saying that if Wu Jiu hadn't taken him in, he might not be able to be arrogant in the Garden of Love at this time, and he would also become a prisoner.
Di'er didn't understand what a "prisoner under the ranks" meant, but Ning Qi who was chasing Di'er to "bully" did understand. Ning Qi was a rare genius, and his mind was even worse than that of some adults. Understood.
Wu Jiu came out of the room, and Ning Qi also came out, and said in a low voice, "About a month ago, the emperor sent General Huben Zhonglang to take Yong Wu down."
When Wu Jiu heard this, only the word "sure enough" remained in his heart, he was a little unsteady, knowing this, Yi Ya would definitely be unable to keep him, but in this way, Di'er lost his father, even though Di'er It wasn't Yi Ya's own birth at all, he didn't have a father, he just had two adoptive fathers, but Di'er is still young, he doesn't know this truth at all, if he keeps lying to Di'er, he probably won't be able to.
Wu Jiao turned around like a mill, wondering how to explain this problem to Di'er, and Xiao Ningqi next to him was like turning a mill, following Wu Jiao around.
At this moment, an eunuch came over and hurriedly bowed to Wu Jiu, saying, "My lord, you are back. Your Majesty has been looking for you all morning."
Wu Jiu asked in surprise, "Looking for me?"
The eunuch said, "Yes, Your Majesty invites you, son, to go to Jailan province to commit crimes together."
In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the name of the prison was Jail. Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the prisons were collectively called Jail, and the two beasts, Bi and An, referred to the prison or the guards guarding the prison, so they were also called Jail.
As soon as Wu Jiu heard it, he knew that Qihou asked him to go to see Yi Ya in the prison, so he turned to Ning Qi and said, "I'll be back when I go, you go and stay with Di'er for a while."
Ning Qi nodded, skipped and left, and then Wu Jiu followed the eunuch to Marquis Qi's place.
After Qihou came back, he first coordinated the various matters submitted by Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong, and then called Gongsun Xipeng immediately.
As soon as Gongsun Xipeng returned to Linzi City, he felt a little depressed. Everyone else was thinking about returning, but Gongsun Xipeng knew that he would definitely have something to do when he came back.
And this matter is inevitable.
Sure enough, Marquis Qi's edict came down very soon, asking Gongsun Xipeng to take someone to interrogate Yi Ya himself, to see if there were any other Bai Di people in the palace.
Gongsun Xipeng accepted the edict calmly, put on his official robes, and after everything was in order, he went out, got on a tall horse, and went to the prison with his attendants.
This is not an ordinary jail, petty theft, petty troublemakers will not be locked up in this kind of place at all, spies sent by various countries, or traitors who sell military secrets, will be detained here, and those who enter here People generally have only two choices, the first is the death penalty, of course there are also car crashes, and the second is castration, almost no one is released with a good reputation.
When Gongsun Xipeng saw the high black wall, he walked slowly, stopped before the prison, turned over and dismounted quickly, and then waved: "Follow me."
The attendants followed Gongsun Xipeng and walked quickly into the prison. The officials guarding the prison had already been waiting. They knew that Qihou's funeral procession would enter Linzi City today, and Qihou would definitely send someone to see this new prisoner. For the detailed work, they have already sent people to wait.
But everyone never expected that it was the senior doctor Gongsun Xipeng they were waiting for. As the chief executive officer, Gongsun Xipeng is indeed within the scope of his field of view to inquire about these matters, but this can be regarded as killing a chicken with a sledgehammer , It really shocked the guards in the prison.
Gongsun Xipeng walked in with a cold face and said, "Where is Wu Yong? Xipeng was ordered to investigate."
The guard hurriedly said: "The villain has seen Da Sixing, Yong Wu is inside, please Da Sixing."
Gongsun Xipeng nodded slightly, and soon the guards led him to go in quickly. The prison was narrow and narrow, with a gray and black tone, and it didn't look very clean. The aristocrats who lived in rich clothes and fine food couldn't accept it.
Gongsun Xipeng strode forward, only frowning, and he didn't seem to have a bit of aristocratic coquettish appearance. His hands involuntarily rested on the sword at his waist, clenched slightly, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly.
The guard opened the prison door, and with a "squeak" sound, everyone saw a young man sitting under the ventilation window of the cell in the dark cell, with one leg bent, fingers on his knees, and a pointed The chin and the other leg are straight. If it weren't for the black chains on his body, he might have thought that this man was basking in the warm winter sun leisurely.
The man didn't have the usual dark red clothes, but a prison uniform. He looked a little thinner, but the expression on his face was still light, with a bit of tenderness and a smile.
It was Yi Ya.
When he heard the sound of the door opening, he didn't look back, but said softly, "Is the execution going to be executed today?"
The guard said, "Yong Wu, Da Sixing has come to interrogate you."
As he said, Yi Ya finally turned his head, with a trace of surprise in his eyes, he saw Gongsun Xipeng standing at the door, condescending, and immediately laughed.
Seeing his impoliteness, the guard immediately hit the prison door with his sword and shouted, "Yong Wu, why don't you show respect when you see Da Sixing?!"
But Gongsun Xipeng raised his hand, stopped his words, and said flatly: "Everyone go out."
The detainees here are all meticulous, and the guards know very well that there are very few interrogators who can be observed, so the attendants and guards retreated, closed the door, and stood at a distance to wait for orders.
Yi Ya sat without moving, Gongsun Xipeng looked around for a while, then took a step, approached Yi Ya slowly, looked at him with narrowed eyes, without a trace of expression on his face, and said lightly: "Baidi people The prince, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Yong family to take back the concubine son, sneaked into the Yong family and sneaked into the Qi palace as a cook, am I right?"
Yi Ya just smiled faintly, seeing Gongsun Xipeng's right hand resting on the saber and holding it tightly, the veins on the back of his hand were exposed and stretched vertically and horizontally.
Yi Ya glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Why is General Gongsun so nervous? Haven't you already investigated my details? I don't know martial arts, so General Gongsun can rest assured."
However, Gongsun Xipeng did not let go of his hand from his sword, and pressed the corners of his mouth down. He said in a calm, slightly hoarse voice, "When you were in Liangqiuyi, you said that you were robbed by the Baidi people on the border of Jin State. Being rescued by me is naturally a lie?"
Yi Ya nodded lightly and said, "Yes."
Gongsun Xipeng said again: "You said that Di'er is your friend's widowed son, is that also a lie?"
Yi Ya nodded again and said, "Yes."
Gongsun Xipeng asked for the third time, "You brought Di'er by your side because you wanted to use Di'er as a shield to block arrows?"
Yi Ya paused this time, and then said, "I can't deny it, after all, I know that Da Si has good intentions."
Gongsun Xipeng suddenly laughed out loud, with blue veins popping on his forehead, and said, "You know that I am kind? Xipeng has been in the officialdom for 20 years, and his hands are stained with more blood than your body. I am not He is a kind-hearted person. Where is Di'er? You have been in prison for a full term, do you know what Di'er who is being used by you is thinking? In his heart, you should not stay here!"
Gongsun Xipeng said, holding the saber in his hand, and the saber made a golden sound of "buzzing".
Yi Ya was finally a little moved when he heard this, but he squinted his eyes, and said coldly: "General Gongsun is really a righteous hero, but it's a pity that we are our own masters, what Wu did today, I don't have the slightest regret in my heart. General Gongsun, Di'er is of the blood of the Zhou Dynasty. He was rescued by the Wu in the border village. He didn't know who his parents were. The Wu saved his life, but he didn't feel sorry for Di'er. Seeing him again, Wu really likes Di'er."
After hearing his words, Gongsun Xipeng laughed instead, as if a little laughing, and said, "Blood of the Zhou Dynasty?"
Yi Ya thought that he would have misunderstood Gongsun Xipeng's intentions if he didn't believe it, and his face darkened, and he quickly said, "Di'er is indeed from the blood of the Zhou Dynasty, not from my clan. Besides, Di'er is now the adopted son of Gongzi Jiu. Your monarch of Qi will not let go of even a single child?"
Gongsun Xipeng just looked at him and said, "Don't worry, Di'er will be fine. Xi Peng said it was you."
Yi Ya didn't understand what he said, frowned and said, "What do you mean, General?"
Gongsun Xipeng looked at Yi Ya, and his voice rolled twice, but at this moment, he suddenly heard laughter from far to near, and soon saw the prison door being pushed open with a "squeak", wearing a black court robe, Qihou wearing a crown came in from the outside, followed by Wu Jiu.
Seeing the filth in the cell, Wu Jian frowned, but now is not the time for cleanliness, so he had to endure it.
Qi Hou looked in a good mood, looked Yi Ya up and down, and said, "Prince Baidi, what's the problem if you want to know what this means? The orphan will tell you."
Yi Ya frowned even more, stood up slowly from the ground, looked at the three people, and said, "What do you mean?"
Qihou smiled, and said quietly: "You said just now that everyone is the master, that is a big mistake."
Yi Ya was a little flustered in his heart, as could be seen from his complexion, he took a step forward, and Gongsun Xipeng responded immediately, "嗤—" With a sound, the long sword was drawn out of its sheath, and it was pulled out suddenly, and it fell on Yi Ya's neck On the ground, the sharp point of the sword almost cut Yi Ya's neck, and said sharply: "Bold Wu Wu, back off!"
Qi Hou was very satisfied with Gongsun Xipeng's reaction, smiled, raised his hand to stop Gongsun Xipeng, and then lightly touched his right cheek, the scar on his cheek was almost gone, if you don't look carefully , It is not clear that there was a serious injury there.
Qihou put his thumb on his chin with his backhand, rubbed the invisible scar on his cheek with his index finger, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "You and Di'er,
