Chapter 94 "Competing for Favor" (2)

Ziyuan, after all, Xiong Ziyuan is the younger brother of King Chu and the uncle of Princess Mi.

Xiong Ziyuan was very crazy, with a big snot, he laughed stupidly, and frightened for a while, shouting crazily and stupidly: "No, no, no! It's not me! It's not me! Qihou is dead! Qihou is dead! Alright! Marquis Qi was burned to death hahaha..."

When Baoshen and Princess Mi heard what Xiong Ziyuan said, they were startled, and Xiong Ziyuan jumped up and shouted again: "No, no! I didn't want to kill Qihou! What I wanted to kill was Lu Jiao! It was Lu Jiao! Yes! Lu Jiao! Burn! Burn him! Burn him hahaha!!"

Xiong Ziyuan didn't know that he had yelled all of them. When Baoshen and Princess Mi heard it, they were terrified, and Xiong Ziyuan was still shouting: "Burn him! Burn him! He's a bastard! He's not worthy of robbing me! Burn!" Burn it! He's a bastard!"

Princess Mi didn't understand, but Baoshen heard it clearly, and his heart skipped a beat. It turned out that Xiong Ziyuan wanted to murder Wu Jiao because he knew that Wu Jiao was the son of King Wu of Chu and his own younger brother. ...

Baoshen was trembling with fear, when he heard an eunuch come running in and said, "Ling Yin, Duke Qi is here. Duke Qi and Da Si Nong of the State of Qi are here to visit."

When Baoshen heard this, he became even more frightened, and said, "Quickly, restrain the prince, gag... gag his mouth, don't let him speak."

If people knew about Xiong Ziyuan's murder of the King of Qi, then Chu would not be able to afford to go around. They came here to win over, not to make enemies. Baoshen can't bear this responsibility.

Soon the eunuchs quickly suppressed the mad Xiong Ziyuan, because Xiong Ziyuan was always yelling, so the eunuch had no choice but to stuff something in his mouth, so that Xiong Ziyuan couldn't shout out.

Baoshen went out to meet Princess Mi together, and Qi Houhe's carriage just arrived at the gate of the post house. Because of Tang Wu's meticulous treatment, Qi Hou's body was also strong, and he recovered very quickly. The gauze on his hand had been removed. There was basically no visible injury on his face, and coupled with Wu Jiu's feeding these days, Qi Hou felt that he was going to become "white and fat", so he just took advantage of this time to come out and move around, otherwise his abdominal muscles would soon become Ordered "chicken".

Qi Hou knew that Wu Jiu liked the muscles on his body the most, and his eyes were full of envy. Although he didn't say anything, Qi Hou was also a coquettish person, so he naturally wanted to maintain his figure, so that the second brother could continue to stare at him enviously. look at yourself.

Qihou's car came to a stop, Baoshen and Princess Mi greeted him outside, because the two had just discovered a shocking secret, so they were very guilty, and their attitude and courtesies were extremely respectful.

The curtain of the car was quickly opened, and it was not Qi Hou who got out of the car first, but Wu Jiu in a white shirt. Wu Jiu jumped out of the car first, and then imitated Qi Hou's previous appearance, stretched out his hand and helped him. Then Qihou got out of the car.

Qihou himself is fine, and he feels that he is rough-skinned and not a girl, so he doesn't need such careful care, but Wu Jiao disagrees, Wu Jiao cares about Qihou, and Qihou is also happy.

Wu Jiu helped Qihou down, and Baoshen immediately saw the scars on the back of Qihou's hands. Although the gauze had been removed, the scars on his hands were still obvious and clear at a glance.

Baoshen broke out in a cold sweat immediately. If Xiong Ziyuan did this, it would be terrible. Baoshen couldn't imagine how Xiong Ziyuan would do such a low-level thing, to murder Wu Jiu, and even kill Qi Guo. The monarch has been harmed, if it is revealed, wouldn't it be a matter of war between Qi and Chu?

Qi State is now a model of respecting the king and resisting barbarians. If the monarch of Qi State is injured, can the Emperor Zhou not care?In this way, if Zhou Tianzi sends troops, the princes of the Zhou Dynasty will also take the opportunity to send troops. After all, the name is justified. Although Chu State is powerful, the small countries around Chu State have been oppressed to the extreme, looking for opportunities to resist. If there is For such a justifiable opportunity, everyone naturally attacked it together.

Even if the state of Chu is strong and will not be defeated, the loss of soldiers and generals will definitely consume the country's strength, and the trauma will definitely not be light.

Baoshen knew how powerful this was, so he cupped his hands and said, "My foreign minister, Baoshen, pays homage to the King of Qi."

Qihou said with a smile: "Special envoy of Chu State, why do you give such a big gift?"

Baoshen laughed dryly, and Marquis Qi sighed in a dignified manner, "Oh, it's a troubled time for Qi. Not only was he poisoned by a slut alone, he almost lost his life. Now the envoys of Chu suddenly went crazy."

Qi Hou changed the subject and said: "Gu came here today, just to visit the sick in person, to see what happened to the envoy of Chu State, why can't the medical officers cure him well?"

As Marquis Qi said, he was about to go in, but Baoshen hurriedly stopped him, and asked Marquis Qi to say, "Duke Qi, please sit here, the prince... he fell asleep after a long time, this... it's not good to disturb the prince." Rest, please sit here for a while."

Qihou smiled, and said very understandingly: "Is that so? I don't want to disturb the rest of the envoy of Chu, so I just go with the special envoy for a while."

Baoshen quickly wiped off his sweat, and asked Qi Hou to sit down, and found a place to rest far away from Xiong Ziyuan, so that if Xiong Ziyuan made a scene, he would not be heard.

Baoshen courteously led Qihou into the house, invited Qihou and Wu Jiao to sit down, and quickly served tea. Princess Mi was also on the sidelines. Accompanied attentively, smiling brilliantly.

Qihou didn't know how Xiong Ziyuan was going crazy, but seeing how attentive Baoshen and Princess Mi were, he knew that these two people must have known what Xiong Ziyuan was doing.

Qihou didn't point it out, because he felt that Wu Jiu's handling of it was very relieving and appropriate. Although Qihou wanted to kill Xiong Ziyuan and hurry up, the grievances between Xiong Ziyuan and Qihou were not only personal grievances, but also There are grievances between two countries.

Both Qi State and Chu State are very powerful, and the Marquis of Qi cannot take the risk of recuperating for ten, 20, or even 30 years to relieve his temporary hatred and attack Chu State.

So Qihou didn't point it out, but just drank tea with a smile and said, "What's wrong with the envoy of Chu State?"

Baoshen said hastily, "It's just...it's just that I have a fever, so I've got a fever, and I'm just talking nonsense."

Qi Hou nodded, and said with a smile: "It's fine, it's fine."

While they were talking, they suddenly heard the voice of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", it turned out that Xiong Ziyuan ran out, and the voice came from the yard, shouting: "burn Burn! Burn to death! Burn to death hahahaha! Burn!!"

When Baoshen and Princess Mi heard this, their faces turned pale with shock. Baoshen quickly gave the eunuch a wink, and the eunuchs around him quickly ran out quietly.

Sure enough, Xiong Ziyuan broke free from the eunuchs guarding him, ran out of the house, and ran around in the yard, shouting and laughing with a big nose while running, very crazy.

The eunuch ran out and quickly said in a low voice: "What are you doing, stop the prince quickly and take him back, Lord Ling Yin is having a banquet, hurry up!"

The eunuchs also wanted to arrest Baoshen, but although Baoshen was crazy, he was strong and the eunuchs couldn't stop him. Seeing someone coming, Xiong Ziyuan became more and more excited as if he was crazy, and shouted: "Hahaha Burn! Burn! Burn him! Burn them!!!"

Everyone was sitting in the room, when Marquis Qi heard Xiong Ziyuan's voice, he could recognize it when it turned into ashes, immediately sneered, and said, "Special envoy of Chu State, who is making such noise?"

Baoshen was in a cold sweat, and quickly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know which servant is making the noise, Baoshen will go and have a look for himself."

As he spoke, he stood up and said to Princess Mi, "Please trouble Princess to entertain Duke Qi and Da Sinong."

Princess Mi nodded quickly and asked Baoshen to check the situation.

Baoshen opened a small crack in the door and got out, not daring to open the crack any wider. Once he opened the door, his voice became louder, shouting: "Burn Lu Jiu!! Burn Lu Jiu!!! Lu Jiao is a bastard! Bah! The bastard wants to grab the throne from me!? I am the prince! I am the real prince of Chu! He is a dead bastard! Bastard!"

The voice was very loud, and he rushed in suddenly. Hearing this, Wu Jiao suddenly understood that it turned out that Xiong Ziyuan wanted to harm him not because of such "little things" as fighting for Mrs. Taohua before, but because Xiong Ziyuan knew his identity. He even found out that he was the son of King Wu of Chu and Lu Ji.

Wu Jiu rolled his eyes, and squinted his eyes indiscriminately. Qihou next to him also heard it, but he couldn't hear it very clearly. He heard "burn Lu Jiu to death", and he also heard the wild species behind him.

Wu Jiu was born of Lu Ji and others. This is no secret in Qi and even the vassal states. Many people are not ashamed of Wu Jiu's identity, but no one dares to call out the wild species. When Qi Hou heard it, Immediately furious.

But Qihou didn't hear what was about the throne grabbing, the prince of Chu, etc., after all, he could never have imagined that the "second brother" beside him was actually the son of King Wu of Chu, the young prince of Chu. , not the son Jiu, but the real prince Jiu.

On the one hand, Qihou was unexpected, on the other hand, he was dazzled by the word "wild species", and immediately slapped the table with a "Boom!!!" and snorted coldly.

Princess Mi was thrilled to hear it, her heart was beating like a drum, no exaggeration at all, Wu Jiu sat so far away, wishing he could hear Princess Mi's heartbeat.

After all, Princess Mi is still young, not as calm as Qihou and Wu Jiao, and has never presided over the overall situation alone. First, she heard her uncle say such rebellious words, and then heard Qihou slapping the table, and she was frightened. What to do, his face turned pale, and he grabbed the corner of his clothes, almost crying.

Wu Jiao saw the appearance of Princess Mi. Princess Mi was only 16 years old. Such a little girl should be studying at school in modern times, and Princess Mi was sitting here, looking restless. Wu Jiao felt that he couldn't be cruel when he corrected his mother's face. After all, what Xiong Ziyuan did had nothing to do with her.

Princess Mi hurriedly stood up and poured tea for Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu, then raised her cup and stammered, "Qi... Duke Qi, Mi respects you..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a "Boom!!!" this time, it wasn't Qi Hou who slammed the table, but the sound was very loud, it seemed to be the sound of a door being smashed, someone hit the door, it was quite heavy , accompanied by the painful cry of "Ouch, Ouch", it should be an eunuch who was thrown over by the mad Xiong Ziyuan.

Princess Mi herself was frightened. As a result, her hands were unsteady, and the hot tea sprinkled on her hands and body with a "Hula", and she was instantly scalded.

When Wu Jiu saw it, he quickly stood up, quickly took out the handkerchief, leaned over and wiped off the hot water on the back of Princess Mi's hand, and seeing Princess Mi covered the back of his hand in pain, he said, "Don't press it, your palm is hot, press it. It's getting hotter, ask the palace servants to get some ice cubes to calm down."

Princess Mi was a little dazed, and she was stunned when she saw Wu Jiao's gentle appearance. Princess Mi was also Fang's lovelorn. He liked Dong Guoya, but Dong Guoya had his own heart. Princess Mi could see it. Treating her so tenderly, Princess Mi was still a little girl, she couldn't help but blush.

Wu Jiu has no other thoughts, after all he has no Oedipus complex, he just thinks that Princess Mi is quite pitiful, and has nothing to do with her, and because of Princess Mi's appearance, he takes care of her to some extent.

When Qihou saw it, he immediately started to eat it, jealous and flustered, watching Wu Jiao holding Princess Mi's little white hand carefully, and coughing hard twice.

Because Qihou's throat was smothered by the smoke, it wasn't completely healed. When he coughed, Wu Jiao immediately became nervous and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Qi Hou quickly winked and started "competing" with Princess Mi, and coughed in a voice pinching chicken feathers: "cough, cough, cough... for some reason, Gu's throat suddenly hurts..."

Wu Jiu was so nervous that he quickly said, "Don't cough too hard, be careful of bleeding, please drink some tea to moisten your throat, Your Majesty."

At this time, Qi Hou was not enough to make trouble, "Boom!!" Another sound, Princess Mi yelled out in fright, and heard the door being slammed hard, and the eunuch fell straight in from the outside, more than that, And Baoshen, if it wasn't for Baoshen's kung fu, Xiong Ziyuan would almost bump into him too, "Boom!" The door opened with a sound.

Xiong Ziyuan smelled terrible, pungent, rushed in from the outside, laughed and said: "Hahaha burning! Burning!"

As he spoke, he rushed in, rushed towards the candlestick, grabbed the candlestick, and was about to throw it out, towards Princess Mi who was closest to him.

Baoshen was still at the door, seeing this thrilling scene, he shouted: "Princess!!"

Princess Mi didn't know how to dodge, so she flicked the candlestick and threw it directly at Princess Mi's face. Wu Jiao was startled, and rushed over quickly, hugging Princess Mi in his arms, "Boom!" A person fell onto the mat at once, and the candlestick barely flung past the two of them.

The candlestick was thrown on the ground and suddenly caught fire, but because there was nothing to support the combustion, the flame was not too big, Qihou reacted quickly, quickly took off his coat, put it on the flames to put out the flames, lifted the lid of the teapot, As soon as I poured it, I heard a sound of "stab--", and the flame went out in an instant.

The crazy Xiong Ziyuan shouted: "Burn! Burn! Why don't you burn it?! Burn it! Burn that bastard who robbed me of the throne!! I am the young prince of Chu! I am! I am the young prince!! Not him! Not him!! I am, not him!!"

Xiong Ziyuan yelled "yes" and "no" like crazy. No wonder people who don't know are confused. In fact, Hou died of being burned unbearably humiliated. The feeling was so profound that he felt angry when he looked at the flames, and he yelled, "Come on! I just see that the envoy of Chu State is crazy, so why don't you invite him?" Go to the doctor!?"

The soldiers rushed in, pressed the crazy Xiong Ziyuan to the ground, and tied him up. Xiong Ziyuan was unconscious at all, but shouted: "Burn him!! Burn him! Those who compete with me for the throne will die! Die! Lu Jiao! You must die!! You don’t want to fight for the throne with me! Hahaha I am the young prince of Chu!!”

Xiong Ziyuan yelled and was picked up by the soldiers and dragged away forcibly. Baoshen was dripping with cold sweat and his clothes were soaked.

Marquis Qi ordered Xiong Ziyuan to be escorted away, only then did he see the two people next to him, Princess Mi blushed, she was really embarrassed to be hugged by Wu Jiao, Wu Jiao was afraid that Princess Mi would be abrupt, so he quickly let Princess Mi go .

Qi Hou was still jealous, he pulled Wu Jiu over, hugged him in his arms, and said softly, "Second brother, how are you, did you get burned?"

Wu Jiu was hugged tightly by Marquis Qi, he was immediately embarrassed, and quickly said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with Jiu."

Baoshen came in quickly, pleaded guilty and said, "Duke Qi, you have offended me so much, you have offended me so much."

Qi Hou said coldly: "What is the fever? It depends on how seriously the envoy of Chu State is sick."

Baoshen quickly wiped off his sweat and said: "Yes, yes, it is Baoshen's fault for being rude to Duke Qi and Da Sinonong. Please don't mind the villains, Lord Qi and Da Sinonong. Pass."

Baoshen could be regarded as an elder, and his attitude was so good, Qi Hou couldn't find anything to challenge him, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, seeing how the envoy of Chu State is like this, it's better to leave as soon as possible and return to China for treatment."

The envoys of Chu State made such a big joke in Qi State, and there was no way for peace talks. Baoshen himself came here, and his first purpose was to win over Wu Jiu. Later, Wu Jiao became the prince of Chu, and Baoshen did not Dare to win over, I am afraid that if he really wins back to the country, the king of Chu will really kill Wu Jiao to avoid future troubles.

The second purpose is actually to negotiate peace with Qi State. Chu State has the intention to attack Zheng State, which has no monarch at this time. He has already taken down Deng State and Shen State. Then, Chu State stretched out his hand to the hinterland. Of course, he couldn't attack Luoshi rashly, so he put his target on Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guo is known as "China", it is the middle of the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and it is next to Luoshi, and it is also a country with the surname Ji, which can make Chu State stand out.

However, although the king of Zheng State is indeed dead at the moment, he was burned to death by the remnants of Sui State on the way to the alliance, but if he wants to attack Zheng State, Qi State, the model state that respects the king and fights barbarians, will definitely send troops to help. There is not much chance of winning. After all, the battle line is too long, stretching from the south to the middle of the Zhou Dynasty, which is very unfavorable.

Therefore, when Baoshen came this time, he was actually bribing the state of Qi, wanting the state of Qi to release the water, not to send troops, or pretending to send troops to help the state of Zheng.

But right now, these two goals will definitely not be achieved, and there is no need for Baoshen to stay in Qi, so he also wants to return to China.

Wanting to return to the country by oneself is different from being driven back to the country. Baoshen assisted King Wu of Chu, was left alone by King Wu of Chu, became the master of the current King of Chu, and assisted King Chu in strengthening the country of Chu. His life can be described as a great achievement.

But I didn't expect that my great achievements would be ruined by Xiong Ziyuan. If it wasn't for Qihou's sake of his old age, he would be even more rude.

Baoshen felt that he had no face, so he had no choice but to agree, saying yes again and again, and sent Qihou and Wu Jiu away.

Qihou got into the car first, and then Wu Jiu went up. As soon as he got in the car, there was a sound of "boom!", and the sky spun, and Qi Hou pushed him into the car. But it soon became clear that it was not, but that Qi Hou had gone crazy.

Qihou suddenly kissed him, enfolded Wu Jiu's lips, and plundered like a sweep, Wu Jiu let out a "huh" and almost lost his breath, Qihou not only kissed him, but also pulled his clothes.

Wu Jiu's neckline opened in an instant, his outer shirt fell off, and his heart beat violently "bang bang bang". Although his whole body was stiff and he didn't know what to do, he didn't move. Full of confidence, he even whispered in a hoarse voice, smiling in Wu Jiu's ear, "Second brother, you are so pretty."

Wu Jiu blushed immediately. When it comes to flirting, Wu Jiu only had some theoretical knowledge, and he didn't have the cheek of an old rascal like Qi Hou. He reached the wound on his hand, and it was not lightly touched.

Marquis Qi was in pain, Wu Jiao got up quickly and said, "What's wrong?"

Qihou covered his hands, hating himself for being weak, and said: "It's okay, it's okay, second brother, let's continue."

Wu Jiao rolled his eyes angrily, lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Tang'er, show me your hand."

Tang Wu quickly agreed, and got into the car to show Qihou the back of his hand. When he touched it, a scar was peeled off a little, no wonder it hurt, the fresh meat inside was exposed, it was red, but there was no bleeding.

It's all because of Qihou's urgency. He didn't say anything about the food, so he wrapped the back of his hand again, and wrapped it into "meat dumplings" so that Qihou wouldn't break his hand again.

Qi Hou stared at his hand like a meat dumpling, and suddenly felt too bad, how could he caress his second brother like this?

The special envoy of Chu State was in a hurry to leave Linzi City. On the third day after Qihou issued the "Exit Order", the Chu State team was ready to return home.

In order to express his generosity, Qi Hou personally went to the gate of Linzi City to send the special envoy of Chu State back.

Wu Jiu naturally followed, because Wu Jiao found out that Qi Hou is actually a very careless person in life, and he would knock off his scars by accident. It has happened several times, and the scars always heal and forget the pain. Therefore, wherever Qihou went, Wu Jiu would follow.

When Marquis Qi arrived at the gate of Linzi City, the troops of Chu State were ready to leave. Princess Mi was sitting in the chariot, and Baoshen was riding on the horse.

Baoshen cupped his hands and said, "The foreign minister has seen Duke Qi."

Qihou said with a smile: "The special envoy of the Chu State is welcome. Today, the special envoy of the Chu State is returning, and I will send you a special gift."

Baoshen said, "I'm really ashamed."

Qihou just said some polite words, Baoshen raised his head at this moment, and looked at Wu Jiu who was standing behind Qihou with some hesitation, hesitated several times, Qihou frowned, not knowing what Baoshen meant.

Only then did Baoshen say: "Duke Qi, may I borrow your National Secretary of Agriculture, Baoshen would like to have a few words with him alone."

When Marquis Qi heard this, he frowned immediately. The special envoy of Chu State, Ling Yin of Chu State, actually wanted to have a private conversation with Da Sinong of Qi State?

How did Marquis Qi not know that Baoshen and Wu Jiu had such a relationship, and could talk alone?

If Marquis Qi wanted to refuse, he would naturally refuse. After all, what he thought of was that before Baoshen left, he would still poach the wall.

But before he opened his mouth, Wu Jiu had already cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it just so happens that Jiu also wants to say something to the special envoy of Chu State."

When Qihou heard this, his heart suddenly felt bad again. After all, he had also heard the rumor that Baoshen fell in love with Wu Jiu, although Qihou felt that Baoshen was considered a highly respected person, and he would not do such a nasty thing. , but I still get jealous in my heart, so I keep two minds.

But Qi Hou couldn't refute his second brother's intention...

Wu Jiu quickly came together with Baoshen, and Baoshen said in a low voice, "Prince..."

As he was speaking, Wu Jiu quickly raised his hand to stop him, saying: "Lord Ling Yin, the envoys of Chu State were crazy before, and your majesty has already noticed it, please make Lord Yin careful about his words and deeds."

Baoshen nodded quickly and said, "Da Sinong, Baoshen just has a question to ask. If Da Sinong is willing to go back to Chu with Baoshen, Baoshen... Baoshen will definitely keep Da Sinong safe. , are you willing to return to the country with Baoshen, fulfilling the wish of the late king?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Lord Ling Yin, it's not nice to say something, you and Jiu both know that even though you are the Tai Bao of Chu State and Ling Yin, you are one person under ten thousand people. A capable minister, but if Master Ling Yin can really make the king of Chu obey, Shen Guo... will not be destroyed, will it?"

Wu Jiu was so bloodthirsty. Although Baoshen really made a lot of contributions, and he was also the master of the King of Chu. The martial arts and talents of the King of Chu were all taught by Baoshen, but the reason why Baoshen was called Baoshen was not Not because he was named Shen, but because he was a Taibao, but a native of Shen. In order not to forget his origin, he was called Baoshen.

However, even though Baoshen was from Shen, the king of Chu, for the sake of his great cause of Chu, still dealt a ruthless blow to Shen and destroyed Shen.

Therefore, although Baoshen has merit, talent, and status, he cannot shake the authority of those in power. Once those in power feel threatened, Baoshen is determined not to stop him.

Hearing Wu Jiu's words, Baoshen didn't get angry, instead he sighed and said: "Da Si Nong, you see so thoroughly, you are indeed a talent in the world, Baoshen is old, Baoshen is ashamed!"

Wu Jiu clasped his hands and said, "Master Yin, please keep your mouth shut. If it is for the sake of rectification, even if it is to fulfill the wishes of the late king, you must let this matter rot in your stomach."

Baoshen quickly cupped his hands and said, "Please don't worry, Da Si Nong. From now on, no one will know about this matter until Baoshen enters the underworld and meets the late king."

Wu Jiu said: "That's it...thank you, Lord Lingyin."

Baoshen waved his hand and said, "No, it's Baoshen thanking Da Si Nong. Although Baoshen couldn't fulfill the last wish of the late king Tuogu, the late king Ruo Huangquan knows that you are so young and promising, and I, the people of Chu, have done a good job. The country's majestic Da Si Nong, the late king will definitely be pleased."

Listening to Baoshen's words, Wu Jiu shook his head helplessly. After all, Baoshen was a minister of Chu State, and he still wanted to serve the good of Chu State. However, the reason why Wu Jiu stayed in Qi State was not to allow the blood of Chu State to infiltrate Come to Qi.

On the one hand, it is because of self-protection. Going to Chu State, the status of a prince will not bring him glory and wealth, but will bring him infinite crises, which is not worthwhile.The second reason is that Wu Jiu's foundation in Qi State is already very solid, with a solid authority position, stable money, and a small restaurant as the final trump card, it is undoubtedly the best to advance and retreat or defend.The third... is also because of Marquis Qi.

When Wu Jiu saw that Marquis Qi was burnt to pieces in order to protect himself from being burned by the flames, Wu Jiu didn't know how he felt, except for his mother, no one could treat him like this.

Wu Jiao has always been closed, because he doesn't even believe in family affection, let alone other unrelated relationships. For a long time, Wu Jiao feels that he is a closed and pitiful person. Don't look indifferent on the outside, but in his heart Just like this body, it's a hornet's nest, vulnerable to a single blow, so fortunately, I don't touch it.

It cannot be said that the actions of Marquis Qi did not move Wu Jiu, Wu Jiu's heart has already been moved...

No matter what Baoshen thinks, as long as their goals are the same, Wu Jiu will not force it.

Soon Baoshen got on his steed, bowed his hands to Wu Jiu, and raised his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Soon the Chu State team was on the road.

Wu Jiu watched Baoshen's team drive forward slowly, Princess Mi still opened the curtain of the car, turned her head to look at Wu Jiao, Wu Jiu also felt a little emotional in his heart, the world is really changing, Wu Jiao has never I thought about what kind of Chu prince I would be.

Wu Jiu looked at the team, Qi Hou quickly came over, put his arms around Wu Jiu's waist, and said in a low voice, "What did the second brother and Baoshen say?"

Wu Jiu lowered his eyes and said, "It's nothing."

Qihou snorted and said, "Second brother thinks Gu doesn't know?"

Wu Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and he thought that Marquis Qi had really noticed it, but he heard Marquis Qi say, "Baoshen, a treacherous minister, must think that his lonely second brother is talented and wants to win him over to the state of Chu. , yes or no?"

Wu Jiu smiled, in a sense, it is true, but not all, Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty is really wise, you can't hide anything from Your Majesty?"

Qi Hou smiled, pinched Wu Jiu's chin, and said: "Second Brother flatters, Gu is the one who likes to hear it the most, next time don't say anything wise, it's too empty, just say Gu Kissing you are comfortable, that's fine."

The well-behaved Qihou suddenly told a cold joke again, and gave him a helpless look. Qihou looked at Wu Jiu and whitened him, thinking it was a wink, and he was so beautiful in his heart.

Qihou rubbed his lips against Wu Jiu's ear, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, I won't let you go, I won't let you go anywhere, I won't let you go, whether you want it or not."

Hearing Qihou's "ruthless" voice, Wu Jiao laughed, and said, "Jiao won't leave, after all, he's a favorite, isn't he?"

Qihou said: "Yes, Gu will always pamper you, making you reluctant to leave Gu, even half a step away."

The envoys of the Chu State finally left, and one of Qihou's heart problems can be regarded as letting go. After a few days of recuperating from the injury, he can finally go to court.

On this day, Wu Jiu also started to "reinstate his official position", stopped his long vacation, got up early in the morning, rubbed his confused eyes, and prepared to go to the morning court.

Marquis Qi woke up a long time ago and was putting on his clothes. Seeing Wu Jiao's bewildered look, he suddenly felt that he was very impulsive in the morning. After all, Wu Jiao was usually well-dressed, very decent, and defensive. It's rare, and it's really incendiary.

Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother, get up quickly, the morning will be late."

Wu Jiu glanced at the time, panicked, quickly got up from the couch, put on his clothes, and said, "I'm going to be late, why didn't your lord call Jiu earlier?"

Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother sleeps soundly, I can't bear to wake you up."

Wu Jiu got dressed in a hurry, washed up in a hurry, didn't have time to eat breakfast, and hurried to the Lu bedroom, fortunately the small bedroom was just behind the Lu bedroom, and he would arrive there after a short walk, if it was at the Da Si Nong's mansion, it would be too late.

When Wu Jiu rushed into the Lu bedroom, everyone seemed to be there, lined up on both sides, waiting for Qihou to come to court, but Wu Jiu just stared at the eyes of everyone, ran in sweating profusely, and then sat on the mat. superior.

As soon as he sat down, Qi Hou squeezed the time and walked in Shi Shiran with a smiling expression on his face.

Everyone quickly knelt down to salute, Qihou was in a good mood, so he asked everyone to excuse himself, and soon a few ministers stood up first to ask about Qihou's injury.

Qi Hou said with a smile: "I would like to trouble you, gentlemen, for your concern. Gu's injury is no longer serious."

Qi Hou changed the subject, and said: "However, Chu State's thoughts are clearly visible now. It has set its sights on Zheng State, which has no monarch. It is advocating to respect the king and fight against barbarians alone. It is reasonable to help. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any ideas? So early to entertain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, confronting the state of Chu, this is an uncommon event in the state of Qi, the power of the state of Chu, feared by everyone in the Zhou Dynasty, even the emperor of Zhou had nothing to do with the state of Chu, so it was natural for everyone to say nothing , no one wants to stand out.

Qihou knew it, so he said with a smile: "Since everyone is silent, let's mention another thing first. Since Gu took the throne, my country of Qi has not yet established a state minister. I wonder if everyone can recommend someone?"

Everyone looked at each other even more in blank dismay, but it was very tempting to ask this question. Who wouldn't want to be appreciated by Marquis Qi and become a prime minister?

For a while, everyone whispered to each other, whispered, and looked at each other, looking at each other.

Seeing that everyone was still silent, Qi Hou said lightly, "Looking at it alone, Da Sinong is loyal and talented. He has been in office for less than half a year, and Gu's granary is already full. Earning a full amount of the grain reserves of the past five years is an indispensable contribution, and I think that the chief minister of agriculture can be qualified as the prime minister of the country."

When Wu Jiu heard this, he immediately felt a headache. Being a big farmer was enough for him, and he had already agreed to take care of him. As soon as his vacation was over, he would be "promoted" in the end. Life, but still on the cusp.

Wu Jiu is not from Qi, there is no need for everyone to reiterate this point, everyone knows it well, Wu Jiu also knows it, and Wu Jiu's identity is still a disgrace to Qi, after all, he is the son of Lu Ji's affair.

"People of justice" feel that Wu Jiu's status is low, and they dare not entrust him with important tasks. The last time he was appointed as the chief minister, it was because of Wu Jiu's astonishing act that he took out so much food at once, which frightened everyone and scared everyone. His mouth was tightly blocked, so that the senior officials had no choice but to make Wu Jiu a top doctor in one fell swoop.

Now that the Marquis of Qi wants to make Wu Jiu the Prime Minister of the country, the senior officials absolutely cannot agree, especially the two supervisors, Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong, absolutely cannot agree.

Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong glanced at each other, and just about to speak, Wu Jiao had already stood up and walked over respectfully at this time, everyone thought he was going to recommend himself, but Wu Jiao respectfully said, "Your Majesty , I think that I am not up to the task, the emperor loves me so much, I am so filthy, I really dare not take on the important task of the country's prime minister, for fear of disappointing the trust of the emperor."

Wu Jiu himself refused, not to mention everyone was surprised, even Qi Hou was also surprised, and said: "Da Si Nong, you really don't want to be this country's minister? Or are you afraid of those self-righteous old ministers talking nonsense? Our country of Qi should also be rectified. Yes, many key ministers were indeed loyal when their late father was alive, but after so many years, they began to rely on their elders to sell their elders, feeling lonely and unable to save face, and there was nothing they could do about them, so they became unscrupulous. The country does not raise moths."

Qi Hou refused to speak, and a group of old officials wanted to refute, but suddenly they dared not speak, they were all afraid of being the first bird.

Wu Jiu knew in his heart that the Marquis of Qi trusted him, but in fact the trust of the monarch is also a double-edged sword. Many people would be jealous of Wu Jiu, how could Wu Jiu not know?

Wu Jiu smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it's not because of other people's tongue-in-cheek, but because I think I'm really not talented enough. In terms of being upright and upright, I can't compare to Liu Xiaji. In terms of martial arts and soldiers, I can't compare to you." Go up to Da Sima, General Cao, General Zhan, Master Zhao. When it comes to coordinating all countries, correction is not as good as the chief. Even when it comes to the matter of farming, the correction is not one-tenth as good as Master Guan. In terms of loyalty, honesty and daring to speak out, correction is more important. Compare
