Chapter 84
Lu Guo's heavy weapons were no longer needed, so they were returned to Duke Lu. "
When Qi Hou heard this, he laughed "haha" and said, "Second brother, second brother, you are really... I don't even know how to say hello to you."
Wu Jiu's two tricks, on the one hand, appease Zang Chen, but on the other hand, they are very insidious, trying to break Zang Chen's thoughts.
Even if Zang Chen didn't surrender or surrender, but Wu Jiao asked Qihou to send Cen Ding back, Duke Lu would have to think about it. Cen Ding was Lu's face, and Qihou actually sent Ding back just for Zang Chen, I'm afraid Zang Chen has betrayed himself.
In this way, even if Zang Chen didn't surrender, he was still the one who surrendered in Duke Lu's heart, which finally cut off Zang Chen's retreat and made him give up.
After hearing this, Zang Chen just smiled and said, "Da Si Nong, you are a good planner."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare, Jiu's scheme is only mediocre, and I dare not show it off in front of Doctor Zang."
But Zang Chen smiled wryly, seemed to give up at last, sighed and said: "It's not that Zang Chen doesn't know what to do... If Zang Chen rebelled, or as Da Si Nong said, Lu State thought that Zang Chen was rebellious, everyone thinks that the Duke of Lu will let him go." Have you ever passed Zang Chen? They will definitely send someone to assassinate Zang Chen. After all, Zang Chen has served in the State of Lu for 20 years, and all the affairs of the State of Lu are kept in Zang Chen's mind. Can the Duke of Lu rest assured that Zang Chen will stay in the State of Qi? There will be unnecessary troubles from time to time... Zang Chen is just a cheap life, and he knows he won't live long, so I ask Duke Qi to think about the country and let Zang Chen go."
When Qihou heard this, he sneered and said: "The State of Lu is coming, just let them come. If Gu is so afraid of him, he will not challenge the State of Lu."
Hearing what Qi Hou said, Zang Chen sighed helplessly, and stopped talking. Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Doctor Zang, Jiu brought some precious medicinal materials, please don't waste any more this time, Doctor Zang."
Zang Chen glanced at Wu Jiu helplessly, and said, "Da Si Nong's words are serious, Da Si Nong has good means, how dare Zang waste it?"
Wu Jiu turned to Zhan Huo and said, "Please trouble Dr. Zhan."
Zhan Huo cupped his hands and said, "It's what Zhan Ji should do."
Wu Jiu turned to Qi Hou again and said, "Your Majesty, what Zang Chen said is right. The people of Lu are all greedy, treacherous and cunning people. If Zang Chen is not dead, he will definitely send people to assassinate him. Therefore, he thinks that Dr. Zang's surroundings should be given Strengthen the guard."
Qihou nodded and said, "That's right."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "General Zhan is just right."
When Zhanxiong heard this, the boss was not happy. After all, although Zang Chen had painstaking efforts, Zhanxiong still remembered that Zang's children bullied his elder brother. Willing to see Zang Chen.
But Qihou said: "Just do what the second brother said."
Zhanxiong still wanted to refute, but Zhanhuo stopped him and said in a low voice, "Just help the elder brother?"
Zhanxiong had no choice but to agree.
In this way, Zang Chen's matter was settled, and Zang Chen also knew that it was useless to resist. After all, Wu Jiu had already used insidious and cunning methods to make the State of Lu think that Zang Chen had surrendered. It's not worth a mouthful of Cen Ding.
Qihou said with a smile: "Let's go, second brother, let's discuss the return of Cen Ding?"
Wu Jiu knew that Marquis Qi was joking, so he cupped his hands helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, please."
The two walked out of the side hall back and forth, Qi Hou slowed down, walked forward side by side with Wu Jiu, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, you are so careful, do you still remember what happened a year ago?"
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is talking about making Jiu a cook?"
As soon as Qi Hou heard this, he knew that Wu Jiu had become cautious again, and brought this matter up in the open.
Qihou said: "It's okay if you are alone, second brother, don't hold grudges."
Wu Jiao smiled, and just said, "Jiao dare not."
Seeing that what he said was not sincere, Qi Hou seemed to hold a grudge.
The next day, the Marquis of Qi sent Gongsun Xipeng, the grand secretary, to personally escort Cen Ding, a heavy weapon of the Lu State, to the State of Lu, and told Gongsun Xipeng what to say, so that the State of Lu was convinced that Zang Chen had already taken refuge. In this way, Zang Chen's poison was cured.
The people of the state of Lu wanted to kill Zang Chen in the state of Qi, and then let the state of Qi be charged with the crime of torturing and killing celebrities. Unexpectedly, the state of Qi sent Sun Xipeng, the grand secretary, to thank the state of Lu personally, saying that Dr. Zang of the state of Lu It is much more expensive than Cen Ding, so Qi Hou returned the tripod and left the man behind. He only waited for Zang Chen to get better, and then canonized Zang Chen as the chief manager of the Qi State, in charge of the laws and regulations of the Qi State.
This made Lu Gong half dead, Zang Chen knew Lu Gong very well, and Lu Gong really called the Prime Minister Qingfu to discuss it.
Young Master Qingfu also felt that Zang Chen had been a doctor of the State of Lu for 20 years, and he knew the national conditions of the State of Lu better than Zhan Huo before him. If Zang Chen was allowed to go to the State of Qi, it would definitely bring troubles to the State of Lu.
Young Master Qing's father simply felt that he would not stop doing one thing, and sent envoys to thank Qi State for selling grain, and at the same time assassinate Zang Chen. Only when Zang Chen died, Lu State could be at peace.
Lu Gong felt that there was no other way but this plan was feasible, so he chose a loyal envoy and sent him to Qi.
Zang Chen stayed to recuperate, but he was actually under house arrest. It has been more than a month. The medical officer tried his best to detoxify Zang Chen. In addition, Wu Jiao brought a lot of precious medicinal materials to Zang Chen. Zang Chen resisted from the beginning. , has become irresistible.
Zhan Wen took good care of him, Qi Hou often sent people to visit him, and Wu Jiu came to visit him every now and then, Zang Chen couldn't resist anymore.
Zang Chen also thought about it, if he was born in Qi country, it would be great, and he wouldn't need to worry about these problems, but he was born in Lu country, if he can have Zhanxiong's thoughts, he can simply reverse it, and he is also a hero.
But Zang Chen is different from Zhan Xiong, completely different.
Zang Chen drank the medicine today, and Zhan Huo had a meeting in the political affairs hall, so he came to the side hall. When he entered, he saw Zang Chen standing with his hands on the window, looking at the scenery outside.
Today is the weather of early autumn, summer has passed quietly, the weather has turned cooler, especially in the morning and evening, it is even more chilly, the luxuriant flowers are dazzling, just about to bloom the last prosperity, some flowers have already secretly withered.
Zhan Huo went in and saw Zang Chen by the window, so he said, "Doctor Zang, come and have a rest, don't stand by the window, it's going to be cold."
Zang Chen turned his head and glanced at Zhanhuo, then walked over slowly, sat on the table, Zhanhuo brought some snacks that Wu Jiu made at home last night, then opened the teapot, and looked at the teapot inside. There was still more than half of the pot of water, and I reached out to touch the teapot, and it was already cold, so I said, "Zhan Ji, let someone boil some hot water, and Doctor Zang will wait for a while."
Zang Chen said, "Don't bother."
Zhan Huo didn't stop, walked out, and soon saw a figure swaying in. It turned out to be Zhan Xiong. Why is the general here today?"
Zhanxiong laughed and said, "Because Da Sixing is about to return from Lu State, and Lu State has heard about Dr. Zang's defection to the enemy. Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone will assassinate Dr. Zang, so let me protect you."
When Zang Chen heard it, he knew in his heart that someone would definitely come.
Zhanxiong sat down, squeezed a handful of Wu Jiao’s pastry with a smile, stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately, and he ate two or three yuan in a row, Zang Chen ignored him, just sat in a daze, Zhanxiong taunted him while eating Said: "Don't worry, since you have surrendered, you can't die. Who am I, Zhanxiong? Although I don't want to see you, but since the king ordered you not to die, I will definitely not let you die." of."
Zang Chen just cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you General Zhan first."
Zhanxiong said: "You don't have to thank me, let's take good care of your crooked body."
He said, when he heard footsteps, Zhanhuo must have walked in from the outside. Zhanxiong stood up quickly, put back the half-bitten snack, and then pushed it in front of Zang Chen, pretending that he didn't eat it himself, and that it was still there. He quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, and put his hands behind his back.
When Zhanhuo walked in, Zhanxiong pretended to be a "good brother" and smiled honestly and sincerely. Looking at Zhanhuo, there was still the smell of pastries in his mouth. After a long time, he couldn't eat enough. Said: "Brother, you came back so fast."
When Zhan Huo looked at his younger brother, Zhan Xiong must be playing tricks, because there were still crumbs of pastry hanging from his mouth, shining brightly.
Zhan Huo shook his head helplessly, and said, "Zhan Xiong."
Zhanxiong immediately said, "Brother, what are your orders?"
Zhan Huo said, "Wipe off the dim sum residue on your mouth."
Zhanxiong was taken aback, wiped his mouth several times, and said embarrassingly, "Brother...Brother, I'm going out first."
Zhanxiong ran out quickly, and Zang Chen smiled and said, "You brothers have such a good relationship."
Zhan Huo sat down, put the brewed hot tea on the table, poured a cup for Zang Chen, and said with a smile: "Zhan Xiong is more straightforward, if you say something that is not pleasant, please ask Dr. Zang Haihan, Zhan Xiong No malice."
Zang Chen nodded, and said: "My brother is so straightforward, and he wholeheartedly defends Dr. Zhan, I really make Zang...so envious of Zang."
Zhan Huo asked suspiciously, "What does Doctor Zang envy?"
Zang Chen smiled and said: "Although my Zang family is huge, since I was young, I have never had brothers like Dr. Zhan and General Zhan. They are either intrigues or intrigues. To the Zang family, Zang is a tool for profit. Now that it has been squeezed dry, there is no profit to be made, so it is naturally abandoned."
Zhanhuo also knew what the people of the Zang family were like. The people of the Zang family relied on Zang Chen for food, and relied on Zang Chen's name to go out and do their best, but they were not convinced by Zang Chen and had no one to confide in.
Zhan Huo sometimes feels that he is also lucky, after all, he has a caring younger brother. Although Zhan Xiong betrayed his family, he is a filial child, and his heart is not bad.
Zhan Huo said: "Doctor Zang doesn't have to think too much. Now that Dr. Zang stays in Qi State, he will be able to take care of himself. Your majesty has promised that after Dr. Zang is healthy, he will be named the chief manager and take charge of Qi." According to the law of the country, Zhan Ji congratulates Doctor Zang first."
Zang Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid Zang won't have this blessing, after all..."
Lu Guo's assassination has not yet come, it will be a matter of time...
Wu Jiu went back to his mansion in the evening, he is very busy these few days, because the envoy of Lu State is coming, he is here to thank Qi State for the food report, because he has something to do with Si Nong, so this matter also belongs to Wu Jiu .
Furthermore, Marquis Qi also talked to him about Zang Chen's safety issues. This time, the envoys of the State of Lu were not friendly, and they must have made some moves, so they discussed with Wu Jiu.
Zang Chen's safety issue was handed over to Zhanxiong for personal protection. Zhanxiong was very busy recently and had nothing to do. He always went to the administrative department to find out if he had a job as an envoy to the Song Kingdom. The three-nation alliance of Song Gong of Qi State and Zheng State is to be convened.
Especially Zhanxiong's little thought, who doesn't know?I just want to see Song Gongyu said, knowing that because it is the alliance of princes, Yu said that he will definitely come to participate, Zhanxiong's mood is already ready to move, and he really can't survive.
Zhanxiong is so free and good at kung fu, Qihou asked him to protect Zang Chen personally, and also asked Huben Zhonglang to inspect the guards in the small bedroom and the side hall, and replace all the guards who were unfamiliar Come down and replace it with your cronies.
Don't look at Huzi who seems to be very honest, but he handles things neatly, and he is not foolhardy. He quickly checked the small bedroom and side hall inside and out to make sure that not even a moth could fly in. It was even said to be the assassin who assassinated Zang Chen.
After doing this, Wu Jiu found that Qihou always came to ask himself and come to him for anything, whether it was from Si Nong, Si Li, Si Xing, Si Kong, or even Sima, Wu Jiu really Some of them don't know how to fight, but just read some Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Qi Hou also asked him.
Wu Jiu felt that he was going to die of exhaustion. If this continues, he must ask Qihou for overtime pay!
Wu Jiu returned to the house with his tired body, and after returning, he slumped on the mat. Yan'e seemed to be in a good mood today, and walked over with a smile, poured tea for Wu Jiu, and said, "My lord, I will give you a shoulder squeeze." stop!"
Of course Wu Jiu was happy, and hurriedly asked Yan E to come over and squeeze his shoulders. Yan E was in a very good mood, and Wu Jiu said in surprise: "Yan E, Mr. Xing has returned to Xing Country, why are you in such a good mood? It's not that Sichun who was a few days ago. What does it look like?"
Upon hearing this, Yan'e squeezed Wu Jiu's numb muscles, and Wu Jiu let out a scream of "Hey!" Ziqing just came in, and quickly said, "Yan'e!"
Yan'e stuck out her tongue, said with a puckered mouth, "Who made the young master keep teasing the servant girl?"
Wu Jiu said: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, Yan'e has a thin skin, a stinky man like me shouldn't tease a thin-skinned little girl."
Only then did Yan E squeeze Wu Jiao's shoulders, and Wu Jiao said, "I haven't said why you are so happy?"
Yan'e said with a smile: "Today, the servant girl took the young master's clothes to the palace for washing."
Although Wu Jiu lives in the Si Nong's mansion, in fact, there are not many servants in his family, only Ziqing and Yan'e, and a few cooks, and then there will be no one...
So Wu Jiu's clothes were still the same as before, and they were taken to the palace to be washed, and Yan'e often went in and out of the Qi Palace, no one would stop him.And because of Wu Jiu, Yan'e is also considered a celebrity, the coolies, servants, craftsmen, maids, and eunuchs in the palace all regard Yan'e as a celebrity, and they can't wait to curry favor with her.
Today, Yan'e took Wu Jiu's clothes to wash in the palace, but she met a maid there. The little maid was only 14 years old, slightly older than Yan'e, with a round face, very pleasing.
And the little maid was very sweet, and she called her sister Yan'e. The most important thing is that this little maid is actually from the same hometown as Yan'e, and she is also of the same clan, and also has the surname of E. She claims to be Qi'e, and asked Yan'e to call her Qi'er .
Wu Jiu heard that he was drinking hot tea, enjoying Yan'e's shoulder pinch, but all of them spewed out with a "poof!" Luckily, Ziqing hid quickly and quickly brought the handkerchief to Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu covered his mouth and coughed, both Ziqing and Yan'e looked at Wu Jiu in surprise, and Yan'e said, "My lord, do you know this Qi'e?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu coughed and laughed, waved his hands again and again, and said, "No...it's not acquaintance."
This joke may only be understood by Wu Jiu alone, because the ancients today do not know that there is such a creature.
Qi'e... Penguin...
The little palace maid actually gave such a name.
Wu Jiu secretly laughed by himself for a while, feeling like he was entertaining himself. Yan'e was very happy because she saw her fellow villager and fellow clan, and she felt better today.
In ancient times, fellow villagers were not as extensive as today's fellow villagers. In ancient times, fellow villagers were only called fellow villagers within a very narrow range.
Moreover, they were all surnamed E, which gave Yan E a sense of intimacy, as if meeting relatives.
Yan'e said again: "Qi'e heard that you are gentle and generous, young master, and you want to ask your servant to intercede and let her come to serve you by your side."
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what did you say?"
Yan'e said with some embarrassment: "Although the servant girl is very happy, and there is indeed a shortage of people in the son's house, it is not easy for Yan'e to decide this matter, so I told Qi'e that the servant girl may not be able to help much. busy."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "You're quite clever."
Although they are of the same clan, who knows what it means, what if they are spies or assassins?
It's not that Wu Jiu thinks too much, but that in this day and age, if he doesn't think too much, he will be assassinated, so Wu Jiao only has Ziqing and Yan'e by his side. Pile of eyeliner.
Two days later, Wu Jiu had just got up and was about to go to work in the palace, but someone from the administrative department knocked on the door and hurriedly reported that the envoys of Lu State had arrived ahead of time, and Qi Hou asked Wu Jiu to prepare quickly.
How could Wu Jiu have thought that the envoys from Lu Kingdom would arrive early, so he got up and put on his clothes quickly, he was not lazy on the bed, washed and changed his clothes in a hurry, and then went to the palace.
Wu Jiu entered the palace and hurried to the bedroom, but on the way, he saw a little palace maid approaching, and when she passed by him, she said "Oops!" and suddenly fell down on Wu Jiu's bed. He probably stepped on his own skirt.
Wu Jiao was taken aback, the maid had turned upside down, she thought she was a little maid, she looked slim and not tall, so she shouldn't be heavy, but Wu Jiao was wrong, the maid was not light, and almost gave Wu Jiao overwhelming.
Wu Jiu hurriedly stabilized his feet, so he didn't fall to the ground in embarrassment, the little maid said timidly: "Qi'e is rude, Qi'e is rude, thank you, Da Siong."
When she said this, because the name was so special, Wu Jiu remembered it very clearly. A few days ago, Yan'e only mentioned a penguin. Today was too coincidental to meet this penguin in the palace...
Qi E had a timid look on her face, she spoke softly, her voice was very pleasant, and she had a bewitching smell, and her body was also fragrant, exuding a strong scent of flowers and musk.
Wu Jiu took a look at Qi E, she was timid and not good-looking, after Wu Jiu had seen so many beautiful women, Qi E was really not good-looking, she had a round face, indeed It's very pleasing, it looks very festive, but it's a bit too round, it's just a natural big face, but the figure is slender.Taking a closer look at Wu Jiao, he was startled. The girl reached up to her chin. She was petite, but her breasts and buttocks were so heavenly that she almost jumped out of her clothes. , Wu Jiao who watched it is really embarrassed to watch it again.
Then Qi'e seemed to be a little intentional, after all, it was a "coincidence", and wanted to say something to Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu didn't have time to stay, the envoy of Lu State had already entered the palace, so he quickly bypassed Qi'e, turned around and left .
Qi E still wanted to speak, but she watched Wu Jiao leave in a hurry with a surprised face, bit her lips angrily, and had no choice but to give up.
Wu Jiu hurried into Lu's bedroom, and saw that the envoy of Lu State was already there. He didn't know who it was, and he had never seen or heard of his reputation before, and he seemed quite unknown.
Wu Jiu walked in, Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother, it's just in time, this is the special envoy of Lu."
When the special envoy saw Wu Jiu, he saluted quickly and respectfully, saying: "The special envoy of the State of Lu has met the Da Si Nong of the Qi State. The Da Si Nong is well-known, and the villain is like a thunderbolt. I am so lucky to see you today!"
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "My lord special envoy is serious."
Qi Hou asked the special envoy to sit down, and then asked Wu Jiu to sit beside him on the same mat, but Wu Jiu would not dare, Qi Hou had no choice but to let Wu Jiu sit on the next mat.
The special envoy of the State of Lu said with a humble face: "The widow is grateful to the Duke of Qi for his righteousness and sold the grain to the Lu State. Now the people of the Lu State can eat the grain of the Qi State and are no longer plagued by hunger. The widow sent the villain here specially. Thank Duke Qi for his kindness to the people of Lu."
Qihou smiled, and said "cheesy swish": "Is it only kind to the people of Lu? Isn't there kindness to Duke Lu as well?"
The special envoy of the State of Lu froze, laughed twice, changed the subject, and said: "Your Majesty also heard that Dr. Zang was seriously ill in Qi State, and I was very worried, so I specially sent a villain to visit Zang. The doctor's condition."
When Qi Hou heard this, he wanted to show off, so he laughed and said, "I'm afraid Duke Lu made a wrong calculation."
Wu Jiu also discovered that Qi Hou's way of speaking recently has become more and more "cheesy, whoosh", probably because he is proud, so he especially likes to irritate people.
As expected, the envoy of the Lu Kingdom froze, coughed, and said, "This... dare to ask Duke Qi what do you mean?"
Qihou said with a smile: "Because Dr. Zang is not seriously ill, he is very well!"
The special envoy of the State of Lu looked even more embarrassed, and said, "This..."
Qihou said with a smile: "Don't you believe the special envoy of the State of Lu? It's true. I don't know if the State of Lu is too poor. Zang Chen is a dignified scholar-bureaucrat, and he was a minister of the state anyway. He was very sick in the State of Lu, but It’s different now, after coming to our country of Qi, my body is fine and my spirit is also good.”
As he spoke, he said to the eunuch, "Go, please come and have a seat with Dr. Zang, and tell him that the special envoy of the State of Lu is here."
The eunuch responded quickly and trotted to summon him.
After a while, Zang Chen walked in, not only Zang Chen, but also Zhan Huo and Zhan Xiong.
The three of them came in together, and the special envoy of the State of Lu had a brilliant look on his face. After all, Zang Chen used to be the top doctor of the State of Lu, and the Prime Minister of the State with a man under one man and above ten thousand people.And what about exhibitions?He is a famous scholar in the state of Lu.What about Zhanxiong?Once a nobleman of Lu State, he was also a reckless hero who set off an uprising in Lu State and made the nobles of all countries fearful.
When three people walked in, how could the special envoy of the State of Lu not have a bright expression on his face? All three of them are from the State of Lu, and they are all nobles of the State of Lu, and now they are the officials of the State of Qi.
The special envoy of the State of Lu was very disdainful, but Zang Chen's spirit was really good. Although he was not as good as ordinary people, Zang Chen's face was no longer so pale and his lips were not purple, and he was already tall. , It seems that there is a kind of upright and tough feeling.
Zang Chen walked in, glanced at the special envoy of the State of Lu, and there were some complicated meanings in his eyes. He knew that the arrival of the special envoy of the State of Lu represented the death of Duke Lu.
The special envoy of the State of Lu said with a dry smile: "Doctor Zang is indeed as handsome as before!"
Zang Chen cupped his hands and said, "The special envoy is serious."
The special envoy of the State of Lu said: "Doctor Zang, the villain is ordered by my lord to send you a letter. Please read it personally."
As he spoke, he took out a roll of lambskin, and the lambskin was stuffed into a case, which was well sealed.
The special envoy of the State of Lu took out the little sheepskin roll, Qihou frowned, raised his hand, Zhanxiong immediately stood up, stopped the special envoy's movements, and prevented him from approaching Zang Chen.
Zhanxiong was tall, and no one knew that he was a bandit Zhi who "did all kinds of evil and made waves". The envoy of the State of Lu shuddered.
The special envoy of the State of Lu said: "This... Duke Qi, this..."
Qihou smiled and said, "It's nothing else, it's just that the officials in my country of Qi are all from the country of Lu, so they don't feel at ease with the country of Lu..."
When he said this, the special envoy of the State of Lu's face became even more ugly, and Zhan Xiong took the little sheepskin scroll out of the special envoy's hand.
Just as he was about to open it, Wu Jiu hurriedly said, "Fourth brother, wait for a while."
Zhanxiong stopped immediately, looked at Wu Jiu, Wu Jiu said: "Let someone check it now, don't open it hastily."
The special envoy of the State of Lu said with a smile: "The officials of the State of Qi are really worrying too much. How could we, the State of Lu, do such a thing?"
Wu Jiao waved his hand to call the eunuch to call the person in charge of drug testing, while Qi Hou said with a smile: "Mr. Lu even took part in the hijacking. The state of Lu followed suit. What else can't be done?"
When he said this, the face of the special envoy of the State of Lu became even worse, and he became the bottom of the pot, but it was really hard to refute, and he was speechless. After all, above the Beixinghui League, Duke Lu did hijack the State of Qi in person. Wu Jiu, the chief minister of agriculture.
Soon the drug tester came, and carefully opened the case wrapped in lambskin, and then gently unfolded the lambskin. As soon as it was unfolded, everyone smelled a scent of flowers. Get up and chime heart and spleen.
Qihou frowned and said, "What's the smell?"
The special envoy of the State of Lu said with a smile: "This is a kind of flower spice from our State of Lu. If you use this spice to smoke the letter, it will be more fragrant and elegant."
The drug tester opened the little sheepskin roll, but the roll was white without a single word on it. The little minister took a careful drug test and found that there should be no poison, but there was no word written on it, and it was blank. What means.
Qihou also saw that it was white from a distance, and the minister reported that it was non-toxic, so Qihou immediately said: "Show it to Gu."
The young minister immediately presented the lambskin roll with respectful hands.
Qihou held it in his hand and took a sip. It was indeed the fragrance of flowers, but it was not poisonous, and there was not a single word on it. After reading it for a long time, he frowned and said, "Grand Lu, what does this mean?"
The special envoy of the State of Lu said with a smile, "My widow has said, Dr. Zang will know this letter after reading it."
Qi Hou glanced at Wu Jiu, then lifted up the lambskin and said, "Doctor Zang has a look."
The eunuch next to him passed it into the hands of Zang Chen. Zang Chen held the roll of lambskin with no writing on it, and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers. Zang Chen stared at the roll of white sheepskin for a while, suddenly laughed, and then coughed violently Two times, and then a "wow", a mouthful of blood protruded, all splashed on the lambskin roll.
The people next to him were taken aback, and they all stood up, and Marquis Qi also stood up in fright, and shouted: "Medical officer! Take this poisoned special envoy of Lu State, and arrest him alone!"
Because the change was so fast that no one could react, Zhanxiong rushed over, pushed the special envoy of Lu State to the ground, and Zhanhuo helped Zang Chen who was about to fall. Zang Chen was breathing very fast, and he himself His already better body suddenly seemed to collapse.
For a moment, Zhanhuo felt that it must be because of the fragrance of the flowers. Although the minister said that it was not poisonous, Zhanhuo quickly snatched the little sheepskin roll and threw it far away.
Wu Jiu asked the eunuch to pass on the medical officer quickly, and soon the soldiers came in first, suppressing the special envoy of the State of Lu, and then the medical officer also rushed in, and quickly felt Zang Chen's pulse.
The medical officer looked at it and said: "My lord, the fragrance of the flower is non-toxic, but it has medicinal properties, especially against the detoxification decoction that Dr. Zang takes every day. Just a little inhalation can be fatal. If it weren't for the fact that I just wrote a letter It took three passes before it reached Dr. Zang, and Dr. Zang is probably hopeless by now."
The medical officer reported back, and quickly rescued Zang Chen. With the pill in his mouth, Zang Chen's breathing gradually stabilized, and his face became pale and weak.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi said coldly: "Okay! I treat each other with courtesy, but the country of Lu is doing things that are rude!?"
The special envoy of the State of Lu was escorted by the soldiers, but with a face of fearlessness and righteousness, he laughed three times, and said sonorously: "The talents of the State of Lu are not afraid of the despotic power of the State of Qi! , has conquered the State of Sui, and now the capital of the State of Lu is only fifty miles away from the border, sooner or later it will perish, as a subject of the State of Lu, why not be afraid of death!"
Qihou glared at the envoy gloomyly, Wu Jiu hurriedly asked the medical officer whether Zang Chen could be saved, and the doctor said: "Fortunately, the poisoning is not deep, and he is fine, just need to take good care of him, and this kind of thing must never happen again. thing."
Wu Jiu was relieved after hearing this, they painstakingly rescued Zang Chen, thinking that the Lu National Assembly secretly used assassins to assassinate them, who would have thought that the State of Lu would send an envoy to inflict poison on the surface, no matter how obvious the intention of the State of Lu was. However, this envoy is from the Death Squadron and is here to provoke the majesty of Qi.
The state of Lu can also be regarded as crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Anyway, the state of Qi has already sold the grain to them, and the state of Lu has nothing to plot against the state of Qi.
Qihou really didn't expect this, he was very angry, and said in a cold voice: "Okay, the special envoy of Lu State wants to be loyal to the emperor, so I will fulfill you alone, come here, behead the special envoy of Lu State for public display! Hang his head in Linzi At the city gate!"
When Qihou said this, Zhanhuo was a little anxious, and Zang Chen next to him coughed violently a few times, as if he wanted to speak, and seemed to want to stop Qihou.
Zang Chen wanted to stop Marquis Qi not because he didn't want him to kill Lu people. When Zang Chen saw the white sheepskin, he already understood that Duke Lu wanted to put him to death, and he regarded Zang Chen's loyalty as a In addition to being wolf-hearted, Zang Chen is not an ignorant person, so he has no nostalgia for Lu at this time.
But Zang Chen wanted to stop Marquis Qi anxiously, because the Spring and Autumn Period was an era that respected propriety and righteousness. All countries would not behead their envoys when they went to war, let alone special envoys. Whether it is reasonable or not, it will be criticized by all countries.
Zang Chen couldn't speak, he just coughed hard, Wu Jiu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the special envoy of the State of Lu must not be killed."
Qi Hou glanced at Wu Jiu and said, "Second brother, is there another way to vent this anger on Gu's behalf?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you ask Jiu, you are asking the right person. After all, the State of Lu has offended Jiu, right? This special envoy is loyal and wants to die. If Your Majesty is really beheaded If you let him go, it fulfills his foolish and loyal thoughts, which is really a speedy thing for the enemy."
Qihou raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? The second brother continues to talk."
Wu Jiu said: "This special envoy of the State of Lu is also considered loyal, but his mind is a little dull and stubborn. Your majesty might as well let him go and let him return to the State of Lu in a good manner, and ask the special envoy to bring a letter. The letter, the content of this letter is to announce to the world that Dr. Zang canonize as the great manager of our Qi State, and to enforce the law to defend the Qi State. Please send someone from Lu State to congratulate. Think about it, my lord, the loyal special envoy , poisoned Dr. Zang, and offended the king, but returned to the country with such a letter, can Lu Gong still appreciate his loyalty? According to Lu Gong's temperament, he just feels that the special envoy is incompetent, Such a small matter can't be handled well, it's nothing more than humiliation, dismissal from office, or even an assassination and poisoning, why bother your majesty?"
When the special envoy of the Lu Kingdom was told by Wu Jiu, his heart jumped and his face turned from high-spirited red to a pale waxy color.
When Qihou heard this, he laughed and said, "Second brother is very tricky, so let's deal with it like this."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Because Wu Jiu's explanation is very graphic, "Humiliation, dismissal, assassination", isn't this the usual routine of Lu Gong?Father Qing was humiliated and dismissed before when he was unfavorable on an envoy, and Zang Chen was not only humiliated and dismissed when he was unfavorable on an envoy, he was also assassinated. Now it is the turn of this special envoy of the State of Lu.
But the special envoy of Lu State stuck his neck and said: "No! Your Majesty will not treat me like this. If you Qi State don't kill me today, you will regret it. Just wait and see!"
Qi Hou smiled sinisterly, and said, "Yes, just wait and see, take it down, don't let Gu get upset just looking at him."
Speaking of this, Marquis Qi waved his sleeve robe, and the soldiers hurriedly escorted the special envoy of Nalu Kingdom down.
Zang Chen saw that Marquis Qi had listened to Wu Jiu's persuasion, and then his mood became more stable, and he coughed a few times panting heavily.
Qihou looked at Zang Chen and said, "Doctor Zang also saw it, this time, are you giving up?"
Zang Chen couldn't speak, just coughed, but nodded.
Qihou laughed and said: "Since you have given up your mind, let's take care of your wounds. For other things, wait until you recover from illness. Second brother is right. When you recover from illness, Gu will still ask you to be the chief minister." Reasonable, law enforcement to defend the majesty of Qi, is Dr. Zang willing?"
Zang Chen coughed twice, without any special expression on his face. After experiencing such a catastrophe of life and death, he seemed to be flattered by favor or humiliation, but he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty thinks highly of him, and it's Zang Chen's blessing."
Qi Hou smiled and said: "Okay, you are refreshing, let's go and rest first."
Zang Chen couldn't walk at all because he vomited blood just now, Zhan Huo and Zhan Xiong supported him, and the two of them carried him out of the Lu bedroom together, and went back to rest.
Just then Qi Hou gave the special envoy of the State of Lu a stern face, and he was so happy in his heart. As long as he thought of what Wu Jiu said and asked the special envoy of the State of Lu to go back with the invitation, Qi Hou felt sore, as if he had already seen Duke Lu. That furious face.
Qihou smiled and said to Wu Jiu: "Second Brother's thoughts are still the same..."
When Qihou said this, he didn't continue, Wu Jiu said: "Are you narrow-minded?"
Qi Hou smiled and said: "No, it's because of his delicate and shrewd mind. But... this reminds Gu, never offend the second brother, he will be hated by the second brother for a lifetime."
Wu Jiu thought in his heart, he has offended many times.
While the two were talking, suddenly an eunuch rushed in, nearly fell to the ground, and hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty! Your young master is not well, Your Majesty, go and have a look!"
Qi Hou and Wu Jiu were taken aback, what's wrong with Gong Zizhao?How is this going?forward
When Qi Hou heard this, he laughed "haha" and said, "Second brother, second brother, you are really... I don't even know how to say hello to you."
Wu Jiu's two tricks, on the one hand, appease Zang Chen, but on the other hand, they are very insidious, trying to break Zang Chen's thoughts.
Even if Zang Chen didn't surrender or surrender, but Wu Jiao asked Qihou to send Cen Ding back, Duke Lu would have to think about it. Cen Ding was Lu's face, and Qihou actually sent Ding back just for Zang Chen, I'm afraid Zang Chen has betrayed himself.
In this way, even if Zang Chen didn't surrender, he was still the one who surrendered in Duke Lu's heart, which finally cut off Zang Chen's retreat and made him give up.
After hearing this, Zang Chen just smiled and said, "Da Si Nong, you are a good planner."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare, Jiu's scheme is only mediocre, and I dare not show it off in front of Doctor Zang."
But Zang Chen smiled wryly, seemed to give up at last, sighed and said: "It's not that Zang Chen doesn't know what to do... If Zang Chen rebelled, or as Da Si Nong said, Lu State thought that Zang Chen was rebellious, everyone thinks that the Duke of Lu will let him go." Have you ever passed Zang Chen? They will definitely send someone to assassinate Zang Chen. After all, Zang Chen has served in the State of Lu for 20 years, and all the affairs of the State of Lu are kept in Zang Chen's mind. Can the Duke of Lu rest assured that Zang Chen will stay in the State of Qi? There will be unnecessary troubles from time to time... Zang Chen is just a cheap life, and he knows he won't live long, so I ask Duke Qi to think about the country and let Zang Chen go."
When Qihou heard this, he sneered and said: "The State of Lu is coming, just let them come. If Gu is so afraid of him, he will not challenge the State of Lu."
Hearing what Qi Hou said, Zang Chen sighed helplessly, and stopped talking. Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Doctor Zang, Jiu brought some precious medicinal materials, please don't waste any more this time, Doctor Zang."
Zang Chen glanced at Wu Jiu helplessly, and said, "Da Si Nong's words are serious, Da Si Nong has good means, how dare Zang waste it?"
Wu Jiu turned to Zhan Huo and said, "Please trouble Dr. Zhan."
Zhan Huo cupped his hands and said, "It's what Zhan Ji should do."
Wu Jiu turned to Qi Hou again and said, "Your Majesty, what Zang Chen said is right. The people of Lu are all greedy, treacherous and cunning people. If Zang Chen is not dead, he will definitely send people to assassinate him. Therefore, he thinks that Dr. Zang's surroundings should be given Strengthen the guard."
Qihou nodded and said, "That's right."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "General Zhan is just right."
When Zhanxiong heard this, the boss was not happy. After all, although Zang Chen had painstaking efforts, Zhanxiong still remembered that Zang's children bullied his elder brother. Willing to see Zang Chen.
But Qihou said: "Just do what the second brother said."
Zhanxiong still wanted to refute, but Zhanhuo stopped him and said in a low voice, "Just help the elder brother?"
Zhanxiong had no choice but to agree.
In this way, Zang Chen's matter was settled, and Zang Chen also knew that it was useless to resist. After all, Wu Jiu had already used insidious and cunning methods to make the State of Lu think that Zang Chen had surrendered. It's not worth a mouthful of Cen Ding.
Qihou said with a smile: "Let's go, second brother, let's discuss the return of Cen Ding?"
Wu Jiu knew that Marquis Qi was joking, so he cupped his hands helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, please."
The two walked out of the side hall back and forth, Qi Hou slowed down, walked forward side by side with Wu Jiu, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, you are so careful, do you still remember what happened a year ago?"
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is talking about making Jiu a cook?"
As soon as Qi Hou heard this, he knew that Wu Jiu had become cautious again, and brought this matter up in the open.
Qihou said: "It's okay if you are alone, second brother, don't hold grudges."
Wu Jiao smiled, and just said, "Jiao dare not."
Seeing that what he said was not sincere, Qi Hou seemed to hold a grudge.
The next day, the Marquis of Qi sent Gongsun Xipeng, the grand secretary, to personally escort Cen Ding, a heavy weapon of the Lu State, to the State of Lu, and told Gongsun Xipeng what to say, so that the State of Lu was convinced that Zang Chen had already taken refuge. In this way, Zang Chen's poison was cured.
The people of the state of Lu wanted to kill Zang Chen in the state of Qi, and then let the state of Qi be charged with the crime of torturing and killing celebrities. Unexpectedly, the state of Qi sent Sun Xipeng, the grand secretary, to thank the state of Lu personally, saying that Dr. Zang of the state of Lu It is much more expensive than Cen Ding, so Qi Hou returned the tripod and left the man behind. He only waited for Zang Chen to get better, and then canonized Zang Chen as the chief manager of the Qi State, in charge of the laws and regulations of the Qi State.
This made Lu Gong half dead, Zang Chen knew Lu Gong very well, and Lu Gong really called the Prime Minister Qingfu to discuss it.
Young Master Qingfu also felt that Zang Chen had been a doctor of the State of Lu for 20 years, and he knew the national conditions of the State of Lu better than Zhan Huo before him. If Zang Chen was allowed to go to the State of Qi, it would definitely bring troubles to the State of Lu.
Young Master Qing's father simply felt that he would not stop doing one thing, and sent envoys to thank Qi State for selling grain, and at the same time assassinate Zang Chen. Only when Zang Chen died, Lu State could be at peace.
Lu Gong felt that there was no other way but this plan was feasible, so he chose a loyal envoy and sent him to Qi.
Zang Chen stayed to recuperate, but he was actually under house arrest. It has been more than a month. The medical officer tried his best to detoxify Zang Chen. In addition, Wu Jiao brought a lot of precious medicinal materials to Zang Chen. Zang Chen resisted from the beginning. , has become irresistible.
Zhan Wen took good care of him, Qi Hou often sent people to visit him, and Wu Jiu came to visit him every now and then, Zang Chen couldn't resist anymore.
Zang Chen also thought about it, if he was born in Qi country, it would be great, and he wouldn't need to worry about these problems, but he was born in Lu country, if he can have Zhanxiong's thoughts, he can simply reverse it, and he is also a hero.
But Zang Chen is different from Zhan Xiong, completely different.
Zang Chen drank the medicine today, and Zhan Huo had a meeting in the political affairs hall, so he came to the side hall. When he entered, he saw Zang Chen standing with his hands on the window, looking at the scenery outside.
Today is the weather of early autumn, summer has passed quietly, the weather has turned cooler, especially in the morning and evening, it is even more chilly, the luxuriant flowers are dazzling, just about to bloom the last prosperity, some flowers have already secretly withered.
Zhan Huo went in and saw Zang Chen by the window, so he said, "Doctor Zang, come and have a rest, don't stand by the window, it's going to be cold."
Zang Chen turned his head and glanced at Zhanhuo, then walked over slowly, sat on the table, Zhanhuo brought some snacks that Wu Jiu made at home last night, then opened the teapot, and looked at the teapot inside. There was still more than half of the pot of water, and I reached out to touch the teapot, and it was already cold, so I said, "Zhan Ji, let someone boil some hot water, and Doctor Zang will wait for a while."
Zang Chen said, "Don't bother."
Zhan Huo didn't stop, walked out, and soon saw a figure swaying in. It turned out to be Zhan Xiong. Why is the general here today?"
Zhanxiong laughed and said, "Because Da Sixing is about to return from Lu State, and Lu State has heard about Dr. Zang's defection to the enemy. Your Majesty, I'm afraid someone will assassinate Dr. Zang, so let me protect you."
When Zang Chen heard it, he knew in his heart that someone would definitely come.
Zhanxiong sat down, squeezed a handful of Wu Jiao’s pastry with a smile, stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes lit up immediately, and he ate two or three yuan in a row, Zang Chen ignored him, just sat in a daze, Zhanxiong taunted him while eating Said: "Don't worry, since you have surrendered, you can't die. Who am I, Zhanxiong? Although I don't want to see you, but since the king ordered you not to die, I will definitely not let you die." of."
Zang Chen just cupped his hands and said, "Then thank you General Zhan first."
Zhanxiong said: "You don't have to thank me, let's take good care of your crooked body."
He said, when he heard footsteps, Zhanhuo must have walked in from the outside. Zhanxiong stood up quickly, put back the half-bitten snack, and then pushed it in front of Zang Chen, pretending that he didn't eat it himself, and that it was still there. He quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, and put his hands behind his back.
When Zhanhuo walked in, Zhanxiong pretended to be a "good brother" and smiled honestly and sincerely. Looking at Zhanhuo, there was still the smell of pastries in his mouth. After a long time, he couldn't eat enough. Said: "Brother, you came back so fast."
When Zhan Huo looked at his younger brother, Zhan Xiong must be playing tricks, because there were still crumbs of pastry hanging from his mouth, shining brightly.
Zhan Huo shook his head helplessly, and said, "Zhan Xiong."
Zhanxiong immediately said, "Brother, what are your orders?"
Zhan Huo said, "Wipe off the dim sum residue on your mouth."
Zhanxiong was taken aback, wiped his mouth several times, and said embarrassingly, "Brother...Brother, I'm going out first."
Zhanxiong ran out quickly, and Zang Chen smiled and said, "You brothers have such a good relationship."
Zhan Huo sat down, put the brewed hot tea on the table, poured a cup for Zang Chen, and said with a smile: "Zhan Xiong is more straightforward, if you say something that is not pleasant, please ask Dr. Zang Haihan, Zhan Xiong No malice."
Zang Chen nodded, and said: "My brother is so straightforward, and he wholeheartedly defends Dr. Zhan, I really make Zang...so envious of Zang."
Zhan Huo asked suspiciously, "What does Doctor Zang envy?"
Zang Chen smiled and said: "Although my Zang family is huge, since I was young, I have never had brothers like Dr. Zhan and General Zhan. They are either intrigues or intrigues. To the Zang family, Zang is a tool for profit. Now that it has been squeezed dry, there is no profit to be made, so it is naturally abandoned."
Zhanhuo also knew what the people of the Zang family were like. The people of the Zang family relied on Zang Chen for food, and relied on Zang Chen's name to go out and do their best, but they were not convinced by Zang Chen and had no one to confide in.
Zhan Huo sometimes feels that he is also lucky, after all, he has a caring younger brother. Although Zhan Xiong betrayed his family, he is a filial child, and his heart is not bad.
Zhan Huo said: "Doctor Zang doesn't have to think too much. Now that Dr. Zang stays in Qi State, he will be able to take care of himself. Your majesty has promised that after Dr. Zang is healthy, he will be named the chief manager and take charge of Qi." According to the law of the country, Zhan Ji congratulates Doctor Zang first."
Zang Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid Zang won't have this blessing, after all..."
Lu Guo's assassination has not yet come, it will be a matter of time...
Wu Jiu went back to his mansion in the evening, he is very busy these few days, because the envoy of Lu State is coming, he is here to thank Qi State for the food report, because he has something to do with Si Nong, so this matter also belongs to Wu Jiu .
Furthermore, Marquis Qi also talked to him about Zang Chen's safety issues. This time, the envoys of the State of Lu were not friendly, and they must have made some moves, so they discussed with Wu Jiu.
Zang Chen's safety issue was handed over to Zhanxiong for personal protection. Zhanxiong was very busy recently and had nothing to do. He always went to the administrative department to find out if he had a job as an envoy to the Song Kingdom. The three-nation alliance of Song Gong of Qi State and Zheng State is to be convened.
Especially Zhanxiong's little thought, who doesn't know?I just want to see Song Gongyu said, knowing that because it is the alliance of princes, Yu said that he will definitely come to participate, Zhanxiong's mood is already ready to move, and he really can't survive.
Zhanxiong is so free and good at kung fu, Qihou asked him to protect Zang Chen personally, and also asked Huben Zhonglang to inspect the guards in the small bedroom and the side hall, and replace all the guards who were unfamiliar Come down and replace it with your cronies.
Don't look at Huzi who seems to be very honest, but he handles things neatly, and he is not foolhardy. He quickly checked the small bedroom and side hall inside and out to make sure that not even a moth could fly in. It was even said to be the assassin who assassinated Zang Chen.
After doing this, Wu Jiu found that Qihou always came to ask himself and come to him for anything, whether it was from Si Nong, Si Li, Si Xing, Si Kong, or even Sima, Wu Jiu really Some of them don't know how to fight, but just read some Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Qi Hou also asked him.
Wu Jiu felt that he was going to die of exhaustion. If this continues, he must ask Qihou for overtime pay!
Wu Jiu returned to the house with his tired body, and after returning, he slumped on the mat. Yan'e seemed to be in a good mood today, and walked over with a smile, poured tea for Wu Jiu, and said, "My lord, I will give you a shoulder squeeze." stop!"
Of course Wu Jiu was happy, and hurriedly asked Yan E to come over and squeeze his shoulders. Yan E was in a very good mood, and Wu Jiu said in surprise: "Yan E, Mr. Xing has returned to Xing Country, why are you in such a good mood? It's not that Sichun who was a few days ago. What does it look like?"
Upon hearing this, Yan'e squeezed Wu Jiu's numb muscles, and Wu Jiu let out a scream of "Hey!" Ziqing just came in, and quickly said, "Yan'e!"
Yan'e stuck out her tongue, said with a puckered mouth, "Who made the young master keep teasing the servant girl?"
Wu Jiu said: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, Yan'e has a thin skin, a stinky man like me shouldn't tease a thin-skinned little girl."
Only then did Yan E squeeze Wu Jiao's shoulders, and Wu Jiao said, "I haven't said why you are so happy?"
Yan'e said with a smile: "Today, the servant girl took the young master's clothes to the palace for washing."
Although Wu Jiu lives in the Si Nong's mansion, in fact, there are not many servants in his family, only Ziqing and Yan'e, and a few cooks, and then there will be no one...
So Wu Jiu's clothes were still the same as before, and they were taken to the palace to be washed, and Yan'e often went in and out of the Qi Palace, no one would stop him.And because of Wu Jiu, Yan'e is also considered a celebrity, the coolies, servants, craftsmen, maids, and eunuchs in the palace all regard Yan'e as a celebrity, and they can't wait to curry favor with her.
Today, Yan'e took Wu Jiu's clothes to wash in the palace, but she met a maid there. The little maid was only 14 years old, slightly older than Yan'e, with a round face, very pleasing.
And the little maid was very sweet, and she called her sister Yan'e. The most important thing is that this little maid is actually from the same hometown as Yan'e, and she is also of the same clan, and also has the surname of E. She claims to be Qi'e, and asked Yan'e to call her Qi'er .
Wu Jiu heard that he was drinking hot tea, enjoying Yan'e's shoulder pinch, but all of them spewed out with a "poof!" Luckily, Ziqing hid quickly and quickly brought the handkerchief to Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu covered his mouth and coughed, both Ziqing and Yan'e looked at Wu Jiu in surprise, and Yan'e said, "My lord, do you know this Qi'e?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu coughed and laughed, waved his hands again and again, and said, "No...it's not acquaintance."
This joke may only be understood by Wu Jiu alone, because the ancients today do not know that there is such a creature.
Qi'e... Penguin...
The little palace maid actually gave such a name.
Wu Jiu secretly laughed by himself for a while, feeling like he was entertaining himself. Yan'e was very happy because she saw her fellow villager and fellow clan, and she felt better today.
In ancient times, fellow villagers were not as extensive as today's fellow villagers. In ancient times, fellow villagers were only called fellow villagers within a very narrow range.
Moreover, they were all surnamed E, which gave Yan E a sense of intimacy, as if meeting relatives.
Yan'e said again: "Qi'e heard that you are gentle and generous, young master, and you want to ask your servant to intercede and let her come to serve you by your side."
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what did you say?"
Yan'e said with some embarrassment: "Although the servant girl is very happy, and there is indeed a shortage of people in the son's house, it is not easy for Yan'e to decide this matter, so I told Qi'e that the servant girl may not be able to help much. busy."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "You're quite clever."
Although they are of the same clan, who knows what it means, what if they are spies or assassins?
It's not that Wu Jiu thinks too much, but that in this day and age, if he doesn't think too much, he will be assassinated, so Wu Jiao only has Ziqing and Yan'e by his side. Pile of eyeliner.
Two days later, Wu Jiu had just got up and was about to go to work in the palace, but someone from the administrative department knocked on the door and hurriedly reported that the envoys of Lu State had arrived ahead of time, and Qi Hou asked Wu Jiu to prepare quickly.
How could Wu Jiu have thought that the envoys from Lu Kingdom would arrive early, so he got up and put on his clothes quickly, he was not lazy on the bed, washed and changed his clothes in a hurry, and then went to the palace.
Wu Jiu entered the palace and hurried to the bedroom, but on the way, he saw a little palace maid approaching, and when she passed by him, she said "Oops!" and suddenly fell down on Wu Jiu's bed. He probably stepped on his own skirt.
Wu Jiao was taken aback, the maid had turned upside down, she thought she was a little maid, she looked slim and not tall, so she shouldn't be heavy, but Wu Jiao was wrong, the maid was not light, and almost gave Wu Jiao overwhelming.
Wu Jiu hurriedly stabilized his feet, so he didn't fall to the ground in embarrassment, the little maid said timidly: "Qi'e is rude, Qi'e is rude, thank you, Da Siong."
When she said this, because the name was so special, Wu Jiu remembered it very clearly. A few days ago, Yan'e only mentioned a penguin. Today was too coincidental to meet this penguin in the palace...
Qi E had a timid look on her face, she spoke softly, her voice was very pleasant, and she had a bewitching smell, and her body was also fragrant, exuding a strong scent of flowers and musk.
Wu Jiu took a look at Qi E, she was timid and not good-looking, after Wu Jiu had seen so many beautiful women, Qi E was really not good-looking, she had a round face, indeed It's very pleasing, it looks very festive, but it's a bit too round, it's just a natural big face, but the figure is slender.Taking a closer look at Wu Jiao, he was startled. The girl reached up to her chin. She was petite, but her breasts and buttocks were so heavenly that she almost jumped out of her clothes. , Wu Jiao who watched it is really embarrassed to watch it again.
Then Qi'e seemed to be a little intentional, after all, it was a "coincidence", and wanted to say something to Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu didn't have time to stay, the envoy of Lu State had already entered the palace, so he quickly bypassed Qi'e, turned around and left .
Qi E still wanted to speak, but she watched Wu Jiao leave in a hurry with a surprised face, bit her lips angrily, and had no choice but to give up.
Wu Jiu hurried into Lu's bedroom, and saw that the envoy of Lu State was already there. He didn't know who it was, and he had never seen or heard of his reputation before, and he seemed quite unknown.
Wu Jiu walked in, Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother, it's just in time, this is the special envoy of Lu."
When the special envoy saw Wu Jiu, he saluted quickly and respectfully, saying: "The special envoy of the State of Lu has met the Da Si Nong of the Qi State. The Da Si Nong is well-known, and the villain is like a thunderbolt. I am so lucky to see you today!"
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "My lord special envoy is serious."
Qi Hou asked the special envoy to sit down, and then asked Wu Jiu to sit beside him on the same mat, but Wu Jiu would not dare, Qi Hou had no choice but to let Wu Jiu sit on the next mat.
The special envoy of the State of Lu said with a humble face: "The widow is grateful to the Duke of Qi for his righteousness and sold the grain to the Lu State. Now the people of the Lu State can eat the grain of the Qi State and are no longer plagued by hunger. The widow sent the villain here specially. Thank Duke Qi for his kindness to the people of Lu."
Qihou smiled, and said "cheesy swish": "Is it only kind to the people of Lu? Isn't there kindness to Duke Lu as well?"
The special envoy of the State of Lu froze, laughed twice, changed the subject, and said: "Your Majesty also heard that Dr. Zang was seriously ill in Qi State, and I was very worried, so I specially sent a villain to visit Zang. The doctor's condition."
When Qi Hou heard this, he wanted to show off, so he laughed and said, "I'm afraid Duke Lu made a wrong calculation."
Wu Jiu also discovered that Qi Hou's way of speaking recently has become more and more "cheesy, whoosh", probably because he is proud, so he especially likes to irritate people.
As expected, the envoy of the Lu Kingdom froze, coughed, and said, "This... dare to ask Duke Qi what do you mean?"
Qihou said with a smile: "Because Dr. Zang is not seriously ill, he is very well!"
The special envoy of the State of Lu looked even more embarrassed, and said, "This..."
Qihou said with a smile: "Don't you believe the special envoy of the State of Lu? It's true. I don't know if the State of Lu is too poor. Zang Chen is a dignified scholar-bureaucrat, and he was a minister of the state anyway. He was very sick in the State of Lu, but It’s different now, after coming to our country of Qi, my body is fine and my spirit is also good.”
As he spoke, he said to the eunuch, "Go, please come and have a seat with Dr. Zang, and tell him that the special envoy of the State of Lu is here."
The eunuch responded quickly and trotted to summon him.
After a while, Zang Chen walked in, not only Zang Chen, but also Zhan Huo and Zhan Xiong.
The three of them came in together, and the special envoy of the State of Lu had a brilliant look on his face. After all, Zang Chen used to be the top doctor of the State of Lu, and the Prime Minister of the State with a man under one man and above ten thousand people.And what about exhibitions?He is a famous scholar in the state of Lu.What about Zhanxiong?Once a nobleman of Lu State, he was also a reckless hero who set off an uprising in Lu State and made the nobles of all countries fearful.
When three people walked in, how could the special envoy of the State of Lu not have a bright expression on his face? All three of them are from the State of Lu, and they are all nobles of the State of Lu, and now they are the officials of the State of Qi.
The special envoy of the State of Lu was very disdainful, but Zang Chen's spirit was really good. Although he was not as good as ordinary people, Zang Chen's face was no longer so pale and his lips were not purple, and he was already tall. , It seems that there is a kind of upright and tough feeling.
Zang Chen walked in, glanced at the special envoy of the State of Lu, and there were some complicated meanings in his eyes. He knew that the arrival of the special envoy of the State of Lu represented the death of Duke Lu.
The special envoy of the State of Lu said with a dry smile: "Doctor Zang is indeed as handsome as before!"
Zang Chen cupped his hands and said, "The special envoy is serious."
The special envoy of the State of Lu said: "Doctor Zang, the villain is ordered by my lord to send you a letter. Please read it personally."
As he spoke, he took out a roll of lambskin, and the lambskin was stuffed into a case, which was well sealed.
The special envoy of the State of Lu took out the little sheepskin roll, Qihou frowned, raised his hand, Zhanxiong immediately stood up, stopped the special envoy's movements, and prevented him from approaching Zang Chen.
Zhanxiong was tall, and no one knew that he was a bandit Zhi who "did all kinds of evil and made waves". The envoy of the State of Lu shuddered.
The special envoy of the State of Lu said: "This... Duke Qi, this..."
Qihou smiled and said, "It's nothing else, it's just that the officials in my country of Qi are all from the country of Lu, so they don't feel at ease with the country of Lu..."
When he said this, the special envoy of the State of Lu's face became even more ugly, and Zhan Xiong took the little sheepskin scroll out of the special envoy's hand.
Just as he was about to open it, Wu Jiu hurriedly said, "Fourth brother, wait for a while."
Zhanxiong stopped immediately, looked at Wu Jiu, Wu Jiu said: "Let someone check it now, don't open it hastily."
The special envoy of the State of Lu said with a smile: "The officials of the State of Qi are really worrying too much. How could we, the State of Lu, do such a thing?"
Wu Jiao waved his hand to call the eunuch to call the person in charge of drug testing, while Qi Hou said with a smile: "Mr. Lu even took part in the hijacking. The state of Lu followed suit. What else can't be done?"
When he said this, the face of the special envoy of the State of Lu became even worse, and he became the bottom of the pot, but it was really hard to refute, and he was speechless. After all, above the Beixinghui League, Duke Lu did hijack the State of Qi in person. Wu Jiu, the chief minister of agriculture.
Soon the drug tester came, and carefully opened the case wrapped in lambskin, and then gently unfolded the lambskin. As soon as it was unfolded, everyone smelled a scent of flowers. Get up and chime heart and spleen.
Qihou frowned and said, "What's the smell?"
The special envoy of the State of Lu said with a smile: "This is a kind of flower spice from our State of Lu. If you use this spice to smoke the letter, it will be more fragrant and elegant."
The drug tester opened the little sheepskin roll, but the roll was white without a single word on it. The little minister took a careful drug test and found that there should be no poison, but there was no word written on it, and it was blank. What means.
Qihou also saw that it was white from a distance, and the minister reported that it was non-toxic, so Qihou immediately said: "Show it to Gu."
The young minister immediately presented the lambskin roll with respectful hands.
Qihou held it in his hand and took a sip. It was indeed the fragrance of flowers, but it was not poisonous, and there was not a single word on it. After reading it for a long time, he frowned and said, "Grand Lu, what does this mean?"
The special envoy of the State of Lu said with a smile, "My widow has said, Dr. Zang will know this letter after reading it."
Qi Hou glanced at Wu Jiu, then lifted up the lambskin and said, "Doctor Zang has a look."
The eunuch next to him passed it into the hands of Zang Chen. Zang Chen held the roll of lambskin with no writing on it, and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers. Zang Chen stared at the roll of white sheepskin for a while, suddenly laughed, and then coughed violently Two times, and then a "wow", a mouthful of blood protruded, all splashed on the lambskin roll.
The people next to him were taken aback, and they all stood up, and Marquis Qi also stood up in fright, and shouted: "Medical officer! Take this poisoned special envoy of Lu State, and arrest him alone!"
Because the change was so fast that no one could react, Zhanxiong rushed over, pushed the special envoy of Lu State to the ground, and Zhanhuo helped Zang Chen who was about to fall. Zang Chen was breathing very fast, and he himself His already better body suddenly seemed to collapse.
For a moment, Zhanhuo felt that it must be because of the fragrance of the flowers. Although the minister said that it was not poisonous, Zhanhuo quickly snatched the little sheepskin roll and threw it far away.
Wu Jiu asked the eunuch to pass on the medical officer quickly, and soon the soldiers came in first, suppressing the special envoy of the State of Lu, and then the medical officer also rushed in, and quickly felt Zang Chen's pulse.
The medical officer looked at it and said: "My lord, the fragrance of the flower is non-toxic, but it has medicinal properties, especially against the detoxification decoction that Dr. Zang takes every day. Just a little inhalation can be fatal. If it weren't for the fact that I just wrote a letter It took three passes before it reached Dr. Zang, and Dr. Zang is probably hopeless by now."
The medical officer reported back, and quickly rescued Zang Chen. With the pill in his mouth, Zang Chen's breathing gradually stabilized, and his face became pale and weak.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi said coldly: "Okay! I treat each other with courtesy, but the country of Lu is doing things that are rude!?"
The special envoy of the State of Lu was escorted by the soldiers, but with a face of fearlessness and righteousness, he laughed three times, and said sonorously: "The talents of the State of Lu are not afraid of the despotic power of the State of Qi! , has conquered the State of Sui, and now the capital of the State of Lu is only fifty miles away from the border, sooner or later it will perish, as a subject of the State of Lu, why not be afraid of death!"
Qihou glared at the envoy gloomyly, Wu Jiu hurriedly asked the medical officer whether Zang Chen could be saved, and the doctor said: "Fortunately, the poisoning is not deep, and he is fine, just need to take good care of him, and this kind of thing must never happen again. thing."
Wu Jiu was relieved after hearing this, they painstakingly rescued Zang Chen, thinking that the Lu National Assembly secretly used assassins to assassinate them, who would have thought that the State of Lu would send an envoy to inflict poison on the surface, no matter how obvious the intention of the State of Lu was. However, this envoy is from the Death Squadron and is here to provoke the majesty of Qi.
The state of Lu can also be regarded as crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. Anyway, the state of Qi has already sold the grain to them, and the state of Lu has nothing to plot against the state of Qi.
Qihou really didn't expect this, he was very angry, and said in a cold voice: "Okay, the special envoy of Lu State wants to be loyal to the emperor, so I will fulfill you alone, come here, behead the special envoy of Lu State for public display! Hang his head in Linzi At the city gate!"
When Qihou said this, Zhanhuo was a little anxious, and Zang Chen next to him coughed violently a few times, as if he wanted to speak, and seemed to want to stop Qihou.
Zang Chen wanted to stop Marquis Qi not because he didn't want him to kill Lu people. When Zang Chen saw the white sheepskin, he already understood that Duke Lu wanted to put him to death, and he regarded Zang Chen's loyalty as a In addition to being wolf-hearted, Zang Chen is not an ignorant person, so he has no nostalgia for Lu at this time.
But Zang Chen wanted to stop Marquis Qi anxiously, because the Spring and Autumn Period was an era that respected propriety and righteousness. All countries would not behead their envoys when they went to war, let alone special envoys. Whether it is reasonable or not, it will be criticized by all countries.
Zang Chen couldn't speak, he just coughed hard, Wu Jiu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the special envoy of the State of Lu must not be killed."
Qi Hou glanced at Wu Jiu and said, "Second brother, is there another way to vent this anger on Gu's behalf?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you ask Jiu, you are asking the right person. After all, the State of Lu has offended Jiu, right? This special envoy is loyal and wants to die. If Your Majesty is really beheaded If you let him go, it fulfills his foolish and loyal thoughts, which is really a speedy thing for the enemy."
Qihou raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? The second brother continues to talk."
Wu Jiu said: "This special envoy of the State of Lu is also considered loyal, but his mind is a little dull and stubborn. Your majesty might as well let him go and let him return to the State of Lu in a good manner, and ask the special envoy to bring a letter. The letter, the content of this letter is to announce to the world that Dr. Zang canonize as the great manager of our Qi State, and to enforce the law to defend the Qi State. Please send someone from Lu State to congratulate. Think about it, my lord, the loyal special envoy , poisoned Dr. Zang, and offended the king, but returned to the country with such a letter, can Lu Gong still appreciate his loyalty? According to Lu Gong's temperament, he just feels that the special envoy is incompetent, Such a small matter can't be handled well, it's nothing more than humiliation, dismissal from office, or even an assassination and poisoning, why bother your majesty?"
When the special envoy of the Lu Kingdom was told by Wu Jiu, his heart jumped and his face turned from high-spirited red to a pale waxy color.
When Qihou heard this, he laughed and said, "Second brother is very tricky, so let's deal with it like this."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Because Wu Jiu's explanation is very graphic, "Humiliation, dismissal, assassination", isn't this the usual routine of Lu Gong?Father Qing was humiliated and dismissed before when he was unfavorable on an envoy, and Zang Chen was not only humiliated and dismissed when he was unfavorable on an envoy, he was also assassinated. Now it is the turn of this special envoy of the State of Lu.
But the special envoy of Lu State stuck his neck and said: "No! Your Majesty will not treat me like this. If you Qi State don't kill me today, you will regret it. Just wait and see!"
Qi Hou smiled sinisterly, and said, "Yes, just wait and see, take it down, don't let Gu get upset just looking at him."
Speaking of this, Marquis Qi waved his sleeve robe, and the soldiers hurriedly escorted the special envoy of Nalu Kingdom down.
Zang Chen saw that Marquis Qi had listened to Wu Jiu's persuasion, and then his mood became more stable, and he coughed a few times panting heavily.
Qihou looked at Zang Chen and said, "Doctor Zang also saw it, this time, are you giving up?"
Zang Chen couldn't speak, just coughed, but nodded.
Qihou laughed and said: "Since you have given up your mind, let's take care of your wounds. For other things, wait until you recover from illness. Second brother is right. When you recover from illness, Gu will still ask you to be the chief minister." Reasonable, law enforcement to defend the majesty of Qi, is Dr. Zang willing?"
Zang Chen coughed twice, without any special expression on his face. After experiencing such a catastrophe of life and death, he seemed to be flattered by favor or humiliation, but he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty thinks highly of him, and it's Zang Chen's blessing."
Qi Hou smiled and said: "Okay, you are refreshing, let's go and rest first."
Zang Chen couldn't walk at all because he vomited blood just now, Zhan Huo and Zhan Xiong supported him, and the two of them carried him out of the Lu bedroom together, and went back to rest.
Just then Qi Hou gave the special envoy of the State of Lu a stern face, and he was so happy in his heart. As long as he thought of what Wu Jiu said and asked the special envoy of the State of Lu to go back with the invitation, Qi Hou felt sore, as if he had already seen Duke Lu. That furious face.
Qihou smiled and said to Wu Jiu: "Second Brother's thoughts are still the same..."
When Qihou said this, he didn't continue, Wu Jiu said: "Are you narrow-minded?"
Qi Hou smiled and said: "No, it's because of his delicate and shrewd mind. But... this reminds Gu, never offend the second brother, he will be hated by the second brother for a lifetime."
Wu Jiu thought in his heart, he has offended many times.
While the two were talking, suddenly an eunuch rushed in, nearly fell to the ground, and hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty! Your young master is not well, Your Majesty, go and have a look!"
Qi Hou and Wu Jiu were taken aback, what's wrong with Gong Zizhao?How is this going?forward
