No correction

, Chu Wang Xiongfei's anxiety became more serious, because he understood that Qi State was too powerful, and he had to make plans early.

Especially now, the King of Chu, Xiong Pei, was about to extend his hand to the Central Plains. Zheng Guo had no monarch, and this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Chu State could send troops to attack Zheng Guo, it would definitely deal a heavy blow to Zhou Tianzi.

However, Qi State, as a pioneer of respecting the king and fighting barbarians, even if there is a gap with Zheng State, he will definitely help Zheng State and fight against himself. King Chu is not afraid of the coalition forces of several countries, but he is only afraid of Qi State. As long as Qi State does not send troops, The king of Chu, the coalition force of several countries, didn't pay attention to it.

The king of Chu felt that this opportunity was once in a thousand years, and it was time to use him again. He had been working in Qi State for three full years, and only one person was contacting him. The rest of the people didn't know who he was. The native Qi people are average.

The King of Chu intends to let Tong Shang enter the court of Qi State, and let Tong Shang use his talent to win the favor of the Marquis of Qi. The ability of Tu Shang lies in water conservancy and construction. The King of Chu wants Qi Hou to build palaces, build gardens, and use It was a great success to consume the financial and material resources of Qi State, so that they could not help Zheng State.

Tong Shang did indeed do this, but personally he felt that this method was very dangerous, because Qihou sounded like a very decent monarch, and he was not as ambitious as Lu Guo.

Just at this time, there was an earthquake in Bianyi, which really helped the king of Chu, so Shang Shang planned to change the method of exhausting Qi. Instead of tempting Qihou to build palaces and expand gardens in the form of treacherous officials, he built water canals.

In order to be integrated, the canals need to be connected, so once the construction starts, the consumption will become larger and larger, and the expansion will continue infinitely. Although Qiguo is a long-term benefit project, it is also a matter of very competitive financial resources. If Marquis Qi wanted to build the canal, he would definitely not be able to send troops to help Zheng Guo fight against the King of Chu, and Shang Shang's goal was achieved.

The method of exhaustion, in fact, hundreds of years later, South Korea also used it when dealing with Qin. In the first year of Yingzheng, South Korea was afraid of the strength of Qin and was afraid of being annexed, so South Korea sent a craftsman Zheng Guo to repair the aqueduct. The way to exhaust Qin.

Qin Wang Yingzheng had a far-sighted vision and agreed to Zheng Guo's plan to build the canal, which created the Zheng Guo Canal, which is famous for later generations. However, after the Zhengguo Canal was built, the Qin State claimed that there would be no more evil years, and it laid a solid foundation for the future unification of the government.

Hundreds of years later, the understanding of water conservancy in the Warring States Period was still the word "tired", and it was said to be in the early and middle period of the Spring and Autumn Period hundreds of years ago. It is no wonder that the king of Chu had no vision. In fact, Marquis Qi didn't pay much attention to water conservancy issues during the earthquake.

Shang Shang waited for Wu Tang to fall asleep, then quietly got up, opened the door, walked out, and soon left the mansion, walked out, and came to the place where he met the Chu people last time.

Sure enough, the man from Chu State was already waiting there. When he saw Tou Shang coming, he said, "Doctor Tou must have brought good news again, didn't he?"

Tong still ignored his words, but said: "I want you to deliver a letter."

The Chu man said, "Oh? But send good news to my king?"

Tong Shang said lightly: "It's not for my king..."

As Shang said, he paused and said: "The magistrate here has been dismissed. I have been a townsman here for three years, and I am well aware of the style and nature of this judge. I have nothing to do, but I am afraid I will hold a grudge. "

The Chu people said disdainfully: "So what? He doesn't even have military power, what else can he do?"

Shang Shang sneered, as if mocking the Chu man, saying: "Although the magistrate has no military power, he still has connections. He is a local snake here. Besides, the magistrate is not the only official here. , I heard that among the officials here, one of them is a protégé of the former Da Situ. He was demoted here because he offended someone. Kicked the former Da Situ off stage, what do you think?"

When he said this, the Chu man rolled his eyes and seemed to think of something.

Tomorrow Qihou will go up the mountain to see the terrain, which is out of Tu Shang's expectation. He didn't expect Qihou to be such a good monarch, but if Qihou wants to go up the mountain to see the terrain in person, there is no need to do anything. Tired Qi The matter of the country, directly kill Qihou without anyone noticing, Qi has lost the monarch, even if Qihou has a son, he will be in chaos, and there will be no time to take care of Zheng Guo's comfort at that time. The requirements are met.

Therefore, I still need to come out temporarily to inform and change the plan. If you want to kill Qihou, the simplest and most effective way is naturally...to kill with a knife.

He Shang has lived here for three years, and he knows every plant and tree here. The magistrate is a greedy and vengeful person. Qihou killed his son and demoted him to a lowly existence like a refugee. How about the magistrate? Can you swallow this breath?

Furthermore, although Shenwei lost his official position and money, he still knows a lot of people and still has contacts. Among them are his old subordinates, as Shang Shang said, the disciples of the former Great Situ.

Although Tong Shang lived in this small city, he had done a lot of homework in order to enter the court of Qi State. He knew that the former chief situ and Wu Jiu had enmity, and Wu Jiao kicked him out and served four consecutive dynasties. Throne, how could the former Da Situ not hold a grudge?

Now that he has disciples here, if he reveals some news to these people that Qihou will go up the mountain tomorrow, will Qihou still come down the mountain alive?

He didn't need to do anything to kill people with a knife, so he would naturally choose this trouble-saving and simple method.

Tomorrow the Marquis of Qi will go up the mountain, besides Wu Jiu, Zhou Fu and Shi Su, there must be officials who are familiar with the local terrain. He only needs to disclose this news, and everything will be in order.

After negotiating with the Chu people, Shang Shang returned to the house quickly. In order to deceive others, Shang Shang went to the dining room and brought back a pot of hot water.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard a loud noise of "Boom!!!" and there was no light in the room, and he saw Tang Wu standing up with the bed supported, but he was unsteady, which must have been dizzy due to blood loss, and "Boom!" "With a loud noise, he fell off the couch directly.

Shang Shang was taken aback, threw away the kettle in his hand, rushed up, hugged Tang Wu who was lying on the ground, and picked him up and put him on the couch.

Tang Wu was dizzy and drowsy from the collision, and Ta Shang hurriedly checked the wound on his neck. Fortunately, it was not stretched, and Ta Shang heaved a sigh of relief, but at this moment he still felt his heart beating. Jumping fiercely, as if about to fly out.

Tong Shang said coldly, "What are you running around for?!"

Tang Wu was in a daze, his mind was in a mess, because of blood loss, he was still hitting his head, he was a little confused, his eyes were only opened a crack, and he stretched out his hand to hold on to Shang Shang's skirt, murmuring unconsciously whispered something.

Shang Shang was afraid that he was not feeling well, so he quickly lowered his head and listened to what Tang Wu said, and heard Tang Wu whispered in a crying voice, "Don't go...Mr. ..."

Tong Shang let out a "Boom!" in his heart, as if someone had slapped him hard. He still remembered that it was the same time back then, Xiao Tang'er tightly clutched the corner of his clothes, not wanting to let Tong Shang leave, but Tong Shang could not let him go. Xiao Tang'er was with him, he wanted to do business everywhere, Xiao Tang'er was too young to travel around, so he entrusted Xiao Tang'er to the old doctor and left by himself.

Tang Wu's voice was low and crying, and Tong Shang felt a little soft-hearted for a moment, and his heart was full of sadness. He quickly hugged Tang Wu in his arms, gently stroked Tang Wu's forehead, and said in a low voice: "I'm not leaving. , I didn't leave... Good Tanger, sleep well, okay?"

Tang Wu felt like he was dreaming and drowsy, because he heard Mr. Yu talking to him in a gentle tone, coaxing himself to sleep, the voice was so gentle, and the temperature of his palm was so gentle.

In the early morning of the next day, because Tang Wu slept a lot and had a good rest, he woke up quickly. The genius was bright, and the sun was shining brightly today, and the sun was even stronger than yesterday.

As soon as Tang Wu opened his eyes, he saw Tong Shang, who was lying on the edge of the couch, didn't leave at all, just lay down there and slept for the whole night.

Tang Wu was a little surprised, and looked at Tong Shang in surprise. Tong Shang was very thin, but his frame was big. It could be seen that if he was well-raised, he must be a beautiful man who would make people fascinated. Wu Qing, frowning, still hasn't woken up.

Tang Wu slowly stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Tong Shang's cheek. For a moment, Tong Shang was very alert, "Snap!" He opened Tang Wu's hand with a loud noise, and then snapped He raised his head with a look of wariness.

Tang Wu was taken aback, and Tong Shang was actually taken aback too, because he realized that it was Tang Wu who was touching him, so he quickly adjusted his expression and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Tang Wu hurriedly said in a low voice: "It's the minister who is being abrupt, the minister just... just wanted to see if Mr. Yu still has a fever."

He still didn't realize that Tang Wu was making excuses, and said, "It's all right now."

Tang Wu nodded, and the two of them had nothing to say immediately, they were a little embarrassed for a moment, and each remained silent.

Tang Wu was silent for a while, as if he wanted to stay on the bed, but Tong Shang hurriedly stopped him and said, "What are you going to do?"

Tang Wu said: "The little minister is fine, and I want to see if Da Situ needs to serve him."

Tong Shang looked at him in surprise, and said, "Your wound is very deep, you'd better rest and don't move around."

Tang Wu had no choice but to sit down again and lay back on the couch. The two of them were silent for a while, and Tong Shang suddenly said without thinking: "It seems that Da Situ is very kind to you, and you also care about Da Situ. Feeling good?"

Tang Wu didn't hear Dao Shang's temptation, because he didn't think about it, and said: "Because the big Situ saved the life of the little minister."

Tong Shang followed suit and said, "Oh? Are you from Qi?"

When Tang Wu heard this, he thought in his heart that Mr. Tau did not recognize him, and said in a low voice: "No, I was originally from the state of Zheng. I learned art from my master, but after the master passed away, I didn't rely on him, so I became the son of Peng. My dear minister..."

Tang Wu briefly talked about his life experience, which was boring and understated, but Shang Shang was just talking, and when he heard that Tang Wu later became the villain's servant of the son Peng Sheng, he immediately pinched Tang Wu. I broke into a sweat.

Tong Shang also noticed that there were many strange wounds on Tang Wu's body, and Tang Wu said that Wu Jiu treated him very well, so those wounds must have been left by the son Peng Sheng.

Tong Shang had heard of the young master Peng Sheng, who killed people without batting an eyelid, and liked to hear the sound of people screaming. Tang Wu must have suffered a lot in his hands.

While they were talking, Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu came over. On the one hand, they came to invite Da Shang to follow them up the mountain, and on the other hand, they also came to see Tang Wu.

Wu Jiu got up early in the morning and made a noodle soup for Tang Wu. Although it looked simple, it tasted delicious. Qi Hou was greedy for a long time, but this time Qi Hou ate it first. After all, Wu Jiao made two bowls, as long as it was made by Wu Jiao, Qihou would want to eat it, and Wu Jiao was also afraid of killing Qihou, so he let him eat one bowl first, and then gave it to Tang Tang after eating. Wu brought it over.

Because Marquis Qi had tasted Wu Jiao's craftsmanship, his heart was particularly sour, and he didn't have the feeling of secretly peeking at him like yesterday. It was so elated, and Wu Jiao's eyelids twitched when he saw it.

Wu Jiao brought soup to Tang Wu to eat, and also made a breakfast for Tong Shang, who ate breakfast beside him, and Wu Jiao fed Tang Wu himself.

Tang Wu was very embarrassed and said: "Da Situ, Tang'er can come by herself."

Wu Jiu said: "Don't move, be careful not to tear the wound, just lean on it, I'll help you, try to chew as little as possible, this noodle is very soft, you can just swallow it."

Wu Jiu was very careful and fed him carefully. Qi Hou's sense of superiority that he eats first has long since disappeared, and his heart suddenly became sour. The second brother didn't feed him, but he even fed it to Tang Wu. What a loss for him It’s getting big, and when I come back after watching the terrain, I must ask my second brother to make another bowl and feed it to myself.

If Wu Jiu knew that Qihou was thinking so much about a bowl of batter, he would want to roll his eyes again.

Tong Shang sat on the side eating breakfast, glanced at Wu Jiu and Tang Wu, Tang Wu said Wu Jiu was very good, it can be seen that although Tang Wu looked indifferent, he actually cared about Wu Jiu, otherwise he would It would be too dangerous for Wu Jiu to block this.

But now, Wu Jiu went up the mountain with Marquis Qi, so he was also facing danger. He still remembered Tang'er, and Xiao Tang'er suffered so much again, so he shouldn't have made him sad anymore.

On the one hand was Tanger, on the other hand was to repay the favor, Shang Shang put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said flatly: "I will go up the mountain in a while, I think it will take a long time to stay, and there is still a long way to go. Da Situ looks weak, so I don't want to go with you."

When Qi Hou heard this, he immediately said: "Yes, second brother, Mr. Xi can see that you are not in good health, so you should stay here and make a bowl of egg custard for Gu. Gu will be back soon."

When Wu Jiu heard Qihou talking about egg custard, he really wanted to roll his eyes at him now, but he held back and said, "It was agreed yesterday, isn't your lord a promise? At this time, he regretted it. Aren't you afraid to spread the word and make others laugh?"

When Qihou heard this, he felt helpless, and said, "Isn't Gu afraid of exhausting my second brother?"

Wu Jiu said bluntly: "If Your Majesty asks Jiu to refresh and sit in the city of Linzi, Jiu will naturally not be exhausted."

Qihou didn't expect that he would be complained about by his second brother!Immediately said helplessly: "Okay, listen to the second brother, let's go together."

Ta Shang originally wanted to persuade Wu Jiu not to go with him, but he didn't expect that Wu Jiu had made up his mind to go with him, so Ta Shang couldn't help but glance at Tang Wu, then silently looked away.

Tang Wu also wanted to go, but Wu Jiao refused politely, saying: "You are so small, you should take care of your wounds in the mansion, and ask the eunuch to take care of you if you have something to do, don't be brave."

Tang Wu had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Soon, everyone was ready to set off, just as Shang Shang thought, because they were going up the mountain, so they were accompanied by the local magistrate. Since the magistrate was dismissed, it was naturally handled by his lower-level officials.

The officials quickly got ready and came to the mansion to meet Qihou and Wu Jiu.

The official was about forty years old, with a mustache, and looked a bit cunning. He was the disciple of the former Da Situ in the mouth of Tong Shang.

The official happened to be in charge of the water conservancy in Bianyi, so it was most suitable for him to take it up the mountain. When he entered the mansion, he bowed down and made a big salute, saying: "The villain kowtows to the king, and to the great Situ."

Qihou waved his hand and said: "Don't be stubborn if you are imaginary, let's leave now while the sun is good, and try to come back before the afternoon."

"Yes, yes, what your majesty said is very true, what you said is very true."

The official nodded quickly, and was soon ready to set off. Marquis Qi helped Wu Jiu get into the chariot, and Zhou Fu and Shi Su went together, bringing along a lot of Huben troops, and local officials brought people along, A team can be considered mighty.

Wu Jiu got into the chariot and did not put down the curtain immediately. Qi Hou said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yu is weak. There is a certain distance to go. If you ride a horse, you must spend a lot of money. You will have to walk up the mountain when the time comes. Why don't you invite Mr. Yu?" Let's ride together."

Shang Shang was taken aback, he did not expect that Wu Jiu would invite him to ride with him, the person who can ride with the monarch is either of high status or a favorite.

As a stranger, Shang Shang is not a favored minister at all, and he is still in the probationary period, and he has no official position, but Qi Hou actually nodded and said: "Second brother is still considerate, Mr. Bao is weak, please come up Let's ride together."

Shang Shang was a little surprised, but he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Da Situ."

As Tong Shang said, an eunuch came over and quickly helped Tong Shang to board the chariot, and then put the curtain on the chariot, and Qi Hou said loudly, "Let's go."

Tong Shang got into the car and sat down. Qi Hou and Wu Jiu sat on the side. After the car started to drive, Qi Hou reached out to open the small cabinet next to him, opened it for a look, and opened another one. I don’t know what are you doing.

Wu Jiu looked at him strangely, and Qi Hou finally said with a disappointed face: "Second brother, didn't you make that delicious pancake?"

Wu Jiu's head suddenly became a little big, and Qi Hou was actually looking for green tea cakes. I'm afraid it will become a conditioned reflex in the future, and he would rummage through boxes and cabinets to find something to eat as soon as he got in the car.

Although the car does not have the gasoline smell of a car, it is very bumpy, much more bumpy than a car. Wu Jiao admires Qi Hou for eating, drinking and reading paperwork in the car. Wu Jiao must not eat and drink Reading, you can't eat or drink while reading, or you will definitely spit it out.

The Marquis of Qi asked Wu Jiao to eat green tea cakes, but Wu Jiao said helplessly, "I went to bed early yesterday, so I didn't make any green tea cakes. When I return to Linzi City, I can make some for you, okay?"

When Qi Hou heard this, he immediately became happier and said, "Okay, second brother, don't forget."

Qihou said, with an eager look on his face, as if he wished he could go back to Linzi City now, but if the current matter has not been resolved, there is no way to go back.

Tong Shang was sitting on the side. Although he didn't look up and didn't look very interested, he was also listening to the two people talking silently.

Although Tong Shang pretended to be a refugee in a small place, he needed to know a lot to win the trust of Marquis Qi. Therefore, Shang Shang knew very well what was going on in Linzi City. In the Congress League, Qihou appointed Wu Jiu as Da Si Nong, Qi Hou appointed Wu Jiu as Da Situ and so on.

He Shang had heard before that Qihou seemed to have a great male favourite, this male favourite was Qihou’s former second brother in name, but later because Wu Jiu’s identity was exposed, he was no longer a son, but miraculously The ordinary Marquis Qi didn't abolish him, but made him a great farmer and a doctor.

As a result, many people thought that Wu Jiu got his position by favoring him, and later, Wu Jiu even got the position of Grand Situ. He had heard many rumors.

Seeing now that Marquis Qi was actually sleeping in the same room as Wu Jiu, the rumors might be true, but they don't think it's true. After all, if it's just a male favourite, then how could it be possible to talk to the king like this?The king's attitude is still so gentle and considerate?

But if it wasn't for male favorites, could it be that as a king, Qi Hou really fell in love with a man?Coupled with the withering of Marquis Qi's harem, could it be true?

Ta Shang has seen many monarchs, from Zheng Guo, Song Gong, Wei Guo, Shen Guo, Chu Guo, etc., but there is no monarch who is beyond what Ta Shang imagined, they are all the same, suspicious, Lust and greed.

Qihou was also a very suspicious person, and Tou Shang used this to let Qihou go up the mountain with him. If it wasn't because Qihou was so suspicious, he would not have wanted to go to the mountain to supervise Tou Shang to check the terrain.

Shi Shang originally thought that he was a standard monarch, but something was wrong.

While Tong Shang was meditating, Qi Hou had already smiled and said to Wu Jiu: "Second Brother, come, lie down on your lonely leg."

Wu Jiao gave Qi Hou a hard look. Qi Hou, a scourge in the world, did not restrain himself at all in front of Mr. Tou, which caused a flash of surprise in Mr. Tou's eyes. Although it disappeared soon, Wu Jiu saw it. Clearly.

Wu Jiao didn't go over there, just said with a dry smile: "Thank you for your kindness, you're not tired of being entangled."

He said, with a respectful mouth, but secretly stretched out his hand and squeezed Qihou hard. Qihou was in pain, and this time it really hurt, because Wu Jiao knew that pinching his thigh muscles too much, he was sure It won't hurt, so you must pinch the inner curtain, that's the most painful place.

Unexpectedly, after Qihou hissed, he immediately smiled and said, "Second brother, what are you doing alone?"

Wu Jiu's scalp went numb for a moment, because Qi Hou said so innocently, Tong Shang raised his head in surprise, looked at Wu Jiu, it seemed that there was more surprise in his eyes, it was hard to describe such a gentle and refined person as Wu Jiu, It turned out to be "indecent" Qi Hou.

Wu Jiu's face blushed immediately, it was definitely not embarrassment, but anger, Wu Jiu's head almost smoked, and he gave Qi Hou a hard look, Qi Hou looked triumphant, Leaning closer, he said softly, "Second brother, will you touch it next time?"

Wu Jiao glanced at the brazen Marquis Qi, and said softly without moving his lips: "Next time, I will change it to kicking."

Qi Hou chuckled, and the two whispered like thieves, and Tong Shang was even more surprised.

Bianyi is not very big, and soon arrived at the place. Wu Jiu lifted the curtain of the car and took a look. There was a stretch of hills, obviously the sun was shining brightly in the city, but in this suburb, it was a little foggy, but luckily it was not too foggy. Seriously, otherwise they would not be able to see the terrain of Xiaoyi clearly after they climbed the hillside.

The hill was already in front of them, and they were about to get off the car. There was plenty of rain in this place, so there were many trees on the mountain. If it weren't for the many trees on the mountain, the mudslide would have been even more violent. Therefore, they couldn't ride horses or cars up the mountain, they had to go up on foot.

Wu Jiu took a look. Although he couldn't see the mountain, he could see the foot of the mountain. The foot of the mountain was in a mess. Many trees had collapsed. The trees that had not been overturned were only a small number. There is still mud hanging on it.

Wu Jiao is a clean person, he has already imagined that he will go up the mountain and walk in the mud for a while, and his clothes and shoes will be black and very muddy, so he can't help but frowned, feeling that he is really looking for trouble for himself.

Seeing Wu Jiao frown, Shang Shang said softly, "We have reached the foot of the mountain, and we need to climb up to the top of the mountain to have a look. Although the mountain is not high, the terrain is rugged, and there has just been a mudslide. Da Situ is weak. Don't go up the mountain."

Qihou looked at the collapsed tree, and frowned, not because Qihou loved to be clean, but because he was afraid that Wu Jiao would be in danger. Such a road must be difficult and exhausting.

Qi Hou quickly said: "Yes, second brother, you'd better not go up, it's all here, otherwise, you just sit in the car and wait for Gu, and Gu will come back after a while."

Wu Jiu smiled, and said softly: "Okay, let's forget about the green tea cake..."

Before Wu Jiu could finish his words, Qi Hou immediately said: "Don't, second brother, or... you should go up the mountain with Gu? If you are tired, Gu will carry you on his back, okay?"

Wu Jiu laughed and said, "Then why is it so hard to be your lord?"

Qi Hou immediately said courteously: "No, no, it's not difficult."

Shang Shang tried to persuade Wu Jiu to stay for the second time, but it also failed. At this moment, he heard the official outside say: "Your Majesty, Da Situ, you have already reached the foot of the mountain. The road ahead is rough, and you can't get up the mountain by car. , Your Majesty and Da Situ are respectfully asked to get off the car."

Qihou said, "Understood."

Soon Shang Shang got out of the car first, and then Marquis Qi also came down, reaching out to help Wu Jiu, Wu Jiu got out of the car soon, and when he got out of the car, he heard a "ba ji" sound, stepped on the mud, and the mud splashed on him. On the white robe, Wu Jiu's face suddenly turned dark.

Qihou laughed beside him and said, "I told my second brother not to follow, but you insist on following."

Wu Jiu really wanted to lift his foot and kick Qihou's ass, leaving a dusty mud print on his black robe, but with so many of them, Wu Jiu didn't dare to really kick.

The official was very courteous, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please look, Da Situ, this is the mountain. As long as you step up this mountain, you can see the panorama of Xiaoyi. Although the sun is not so bright today Okay, but after climbing the mountain and the sun comes out, you can definitely see it clearly.”

The official had said so much, and Tong Shang could tell from the sidelines that the official must have set up an ambush on the mountain, so he invited them up the mountain so graciously, for fear that Marquis Qi and Wu Jiao would dislike the fog today , Immediately turned around and went back, that's why I said so much.

Qihou and Wu Jiu didn't suspect this, after all they didn't know that this small official was a disciple of Da Situ and was relegated to this place as a "village official" because he made a mistake, and all they wanted was for Da Situ to promote him back Who would have thought that Wu Jiu would ruin his future, the former Da Situ was kicked out, and this official will stay here for the rest of his life...

Therefore, the official held a grudge, and the former Da Situ himself had a grudge against Qi Hou and Wu Jiu, so Tong Shang just took advantage of this mentality to let people leak a little information, the time and place were right, how could they not do it?

Tong Shang looked at the official, and he knew it very well, so he didn't speak, and stood aside and waited.

Qihou said: "Then what are you waiting for? Go up the mountain quickly, and you can go back before noon."

When the official heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately responded graciously, and then as a guide, said: "Your Majesty and Da Situ are respectfully invited to go up the mountain."

As he spoke, he took the lead and led the team up the mountain.

Sure enough, the mountain was in a mess, gray-black mud was everywhere, covering the trees, two-thirds of the trees collapsed, rushed to one side, looking very vicissitudes, thanks to these trees, the mud on the mountain was not all Roll down, if there are no trees to catch the soil, I am afraid that the mudslide will be even more terrible. This mountain is just on the edge of Xiaoyi, and it is in a gesture of embracing arms, hugging more than half of Xiaoyi. If there is a large area of ​​mudslides , the entire Xiaoyi will probably be buried. Speaking of which, these collapsed trees are still heroes.

Wu Jiu looked at it and felt that some trees should be transplanted here. There is no rush to plant trees, but some mature trees must be transplanted to protect the mountain.

Wu Jiu was meditating on countermeasures while walking, only to hear Qi Hou yell in a hurry: "Second brother, be careful!"

Wu Jiao didn't pay attention, he stumbled and kicked a tree stump with a "boom!", and fell forward, Qihou was beside him, he quickly reached out and hugged Wu Jiao in his arms.

Wu Jiao bumped into Qihou's chest, causing his nose to ache, and his physical tears almost fell down. Qihou was also terrified. If Wu Jiao really fell to the ground, his whole body would be covered in mud. Brother is disgusted?

The officials over there suddenly heard Qi Hou yelling "be careful", thinking that the ambush was spotted, their faces turned pale with fright, after all, they had just gone up the mountain, and they hadn't reached the most rugged place, the officials clearly set up an ambush at If they were exposed here, it would be easy for them to escape down the mountain, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

It turned out that it was a false alarm. The official was so frightened that he was sweating, and hurriedly wiped off his sweat. Tong Shang, who was next to him, saw it, and felt that this official had no great ability and was too restless when things happened.

The official quickly said: "The terrain in the mountain is rough, please be careful with your steps, the terrain above is even more difficult."

Qihou smiled and said, "Second brother, are you okay? What if you don't carry you alone?"

After walking a few steps, Wu Jiao was not sweating yet, he quickly shook his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I dare not."

There were some minor accidents, and soon everyone was on the road again. After walking for more than half an hour, they gradually reached the halfway up the mountain, and they would reach the top of the mountain in a short while. From here, the road is very difficult. There are almost collapsed trees under my feet, the branches are intricately entangled, I wish there was no place to walk.

The official's expression became more and more nervous, and the more he walked forward, the more nervous he became. At this moment, Zhou Fu behind him looked at the sky and said strangely: "Didn't you say that the fog cleared at noon? Why is it foggy?" It's getting thicker?"

Sure enough, everyone also noticed that the fog was getting thicker and thicker, covering the eyes, and it was almost impossible to see clearly.

But what surprised Wu Jiu was that the mist was not accompanied by moisture. Usually there is moisture when there is fog, but the air here is actually very dry. Not only that, Wu Jiao's sense of smell is relatively sensitive, and he even smelled a scent. The strange smell is definitely not the smell of the earth in the mountains, but...

Wu Jiao frowned, but there was a smell of cigarettes.

At this time, Shi Su suddenly grabbed Zhou Fu who was beside him, and said, "Everyone, be careful, this is not fog, this is smoke!"

As soon as his words came out, Zhou Fu was also taken aback immediately. The surrounding area was already covered in thick smoke, and he couldn't see the scene in front of him clearly. It turned out that someone was deliberately burning the smoke, and it was not a natural mist.

Shi Su grabbed Zhou Fu, and Zhou Fu hurriedly grabbed the people around him, and caught Tou Shang. Tou Shang instinctively grabbed Wu Jiu, but let go on purpose, so Wu Jiu only caught Qihou who was beside him.

Qihou wanted to arrest other people, but of course he only caught Wu Jiu, because the officials were the chief culprits, so when they talked about the fog, he fled forward in a hurry.

Qi Hou and Wu Jiu were isolated in an instant, they could only hear the noisy shouts in their ears, which were the voices of Zhou Fu and Shi Su, but no one could be seen.

Qi Hou quickly grabbed Wu Jiu's hand and said, "Second Brother, don't let Gu go."

Wu Jiu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, be careful, we might be ambushed."

It's not just Wu Jiu who thinks so, but also Marquis Qi, because apart from being blinded by the mist, they even heard the sound of "russling rustling", which was the sound of footsteps, the sound of fast-moving footsteps, and then It was a loud cry of "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh———" A soldier shouted: "There's an ambush!!! Be careful! careful..."

"It's an ambush!"

"Go! Watch out!"

In an instant, the shouts of the soldiers joined together, regardless of the north, south, east, and west. Shi Su's voice shouted: "Don't mess around! Light the fire!"

Although they heard Shi Su's voice in their ears, they couldn't light the fire at all. Wu Jiao stood where he was, feeling very nervous. At this moment, Qi Hou suddenly shouted: "Second brother, be careful!"

As he spoke, he yanked Wu Jiao violently, and Wu Jiao felt the sound of wind rushing past his ears, as if it was sticking to his ears, "Whoosh!" Shooting arrows soundlessly.

"Who is shooting arrows! Don't shoot arrows!"

"Don't shoot the arrow!"

"There is meticulous work! It is meticulous work!"

The surrounding sounds were immediately connected by the arrows, and became chaotic, followed by noisy footsteps and the sound of "swish, swish" arrows.

Qi Hou pressed Wu Jiu into his arms, stretched out his arms to hug Wu Jiu tightly, arched his back, because of his tall stature, he was able to completely protect Wu Jiu, and quickly ran forward for a while, avoiding the shot arrows.

Wu Jiu heard the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" in his ears, and felt his heart beat faster. They were actually ambushed. Someone knew that they were going up the mountain, and they had ambushed here in advance. This kind of plan seemed very simple and quite rough. The official in front also disappeared suddenly, and there was no sound at all. After all, it was the official who led the way, and it was obvious who was behind the scenes...

Qi Hou hugged Wu Jiu and ran forward a few steps, dodging the arrows behind him, panting heavily, and said, "Second brother... ho!!!"

Before Qihou finished speaking, there was a sudden tremor in an instant, and there was a low growl in his throat, as if he was injured, and his body suddenly fell short, as if he was about to kneel on the ground.

Wu Jiao was startled, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty!"

He wanted to rush over, but was pushed back by Qihou, saying: "Don't come over, watch your step!"

Then Wu Jiu looked down and took a closer look. It turned out that in the smoke, there were a bunch of things like animal traps on the ground here. The arrows just now were actually driving them away to the mountain, but there were sharp arrows on the ground. Qi Hou didn't pay attention to the iron buckle, and stepped in with his foot, "Crack!!", the iron buckle closed immediately, clamping Qihou's ankle in an instant.

The force of the iron buckle was so strong that it almost broke Qihou's leg in an instant, and the sharp sawtooth bit Qihou's ankle, blood spattered, staining the black clothes red, and Wu Jiao felt his scalp go numb.
