In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Shen Zili talked with Gu Zhu Cun'a Xu for a long time, and had some guesses about Gu Zhu Cun's purpose here, and said: "In this way, everyone in the Yan Kingdom hates Xia Yu very much?"

Gu Zhucun was very angry on his face, and said: "Exactly! Let me tell the truth to you, sir. In fact, this proposal of marriage to Qi State is the idea of ​​convincing the prince. You also know that convincing the prince is better than the people. , experienced and military, with a straightforward nature, he wants to win Xia Yu, on the one hand he hates Xia Yu, and wants to take her back to the inner room to vent his past grievances; It was hard to say, na na said, "The prince has met Xia Yu several times on the battlefield, and I am quite impressed by his appearance."

Shen Zili understood somewhat, and said with a slightly sighing tone, "Xia Yu is truly unparalleled in this world in terms of appearance."

Gu Zhucun'a seemed to be a little ashamed of his prince's "lust", his face flushed slightly, and he said nothing.

Shen Zili smiled, and took the initiative to say: "Food and sex are also human nature, but I don't know where I need my help, so that you, the Tai Tuo, come to visit me from afar."

Gu Zhu Cun'a smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, the prince just had a sudden thought, and we, as subjects, have to do our best. Let me tell you, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not. As far as Yan Kingdom and Xia Yu have accumulated grievances, even if they want to get it back, it is just a pastime on the crown prince's bed. Impossible. But right now, since the envoy of Yan is already on the way to Zizi, this... can't be done and go back in a hurry. It's because I came here, and one is to facilitate this Xia Yu Shi Yan In this marriage, the second thing, the most important thing, is to have a personal meeting with you, sir."

Shen Zi was slightly proud of himself. Although he was a native of Jin, his maternal father died in the civil strife in Jin when he was young. As he grew older, he sold his property, traveled around the world, and studied theories of hundreds of schools. , boasting that he has the talent to overthrow the country and rejuvenate the country, but no one has appreciated it until now. It is only at this time that he has a slight reputation. Hearing Gu Zhu Cun'a's compliment at this time, he was really happy, and smiled: "I don't know why Taifu Want to meet me?"

Guzhu Cun'a said: "If you think about it, with your talents, you will definitely not live in the General Zuo's mansion for a long time, and you will return to the Jin State in the end. You have made such a great contribution this time, and you will definitely be honored in the temples of the Jin State or in the Zhao family in the future." There is a smooth road, this... Jin is a country of overlords. Our country Yan borders Qi and competes for the fertile soil on both sides of the Jishui River. The battle has not stopped for many years. Our Yan country is poor and weak, and the alliance with Jin is for help. Naturally, I hope that there will be one or two important ministers in the state of Jin who can speak for the state of Yan in front of the state of Jin and maintain this covenant for a long time."

Shen Zili had already understood the meaning of Gu Zhu Cun'a at this time, and said: "Teacher hopes that if I return to Jin in the future, I can always advocate and maintain the covenant between Yan and Jin in front of Jin or the ruling party."

Gu Zhu Cun'a nodded, then lowered his voice slightly, and said: "I am a country of gentlemen in Yan, and I know how to repay my kindness. When the time comes, I will definitely not let my husband help for nothing."

At this time, many small and weak countries have a habit of bribing the ministers of big countries with huge sums of money. To put it bluntly, they want to find an agent for themselves and seek the protection of a big country. Gu Zhucun'a hinted at this at this time, and Shen Zili naturally heard it. , pondered slightly, he was born in a poor family, and returned to the state of Jin after what happened here, if he wanted to gain a foothold in the imperial court of the state of Jin, he would have to spend a lot of money to run up and down the court. Shen Zi was moved.

Originally, Shen Zili was a bit jealous of the Prince of Yan's pursuit of Xia Yu's purpose, or because he was fascinated by Xia Yu's appearance, so that Xia Yu could turn around in the future, but at this time, hearing Gu Zhucun'a's words, it was really strange. After allaying his fears, adding the promised "bribery", weighing the pros and cons, Shen Zili finally held up the wine venerable and said, "Don't worry, Taifu, I will do my best to take care of this matter for Taifu."

Hearing this, Gu Zhucun'a was overjoyed in his heart, but it was not so obvious on his face, he also held up the wine lord and said with a smile: "Then there is Mr. Lao, and Mr. will help me a lot, so that I can do business in front of the prince. .”

The two smiled at each other and drank the wine in one gulp.

Tian Xiang lingered outside Tian Chang's bedroom for a long time until an attendant invited him in.

Tian Chang had already rested. He only wore his inner clothes and an outer robe. He watched his eldest son enter the room and wanted to kneel down to pay his respects. He looked at him carefully. After a long time, he sighed and said, "My son has lost weight."

Tian Xiang felt a little sad in his heart, these days he begged to see his father several times but was blocked, and he was summoned by his attendants until today, it was such a rare opportunity to meet his father, Tian Xiang naturally said anxiously: "Father, I..."

Tian Chang raised his hand to stop Tian Xiang's next words, looked at his son, Tian Chang looked stern and cautious, and said: "I know what you want to say, Xiang, don't say it, you just need to answer me a question That's enough, you, do you have the confidence to suppress Xia Yu?"

Tian Xiang was stunned.

Tian Chang stared at Tian Xiang sternly, and said word by word: "If I bestow Xia Yu to you, do you have the confidence to suppress him for your use? Can you suppress him?"

At this moment, Tian Xiang had some meaning in Mingtian's usual words. He knew that at this moment, he should immediately answer "yes", because the only way to save Xia Yu was to save Xia Yu, but a throbbing in his subconscious made him suddenly speechless. .

He thought of the "charcoal" corpses of the Vietnamese army under the city of Linzi when the Vietnamese army was defeated. He remembered the fear that rose from the bottom of his heart at that moment; When the bloody "black-faced god" rushed towards him, he trembled and turned his horse and ran; remembering that when he was imprisoned by the Yan army, he clearly realized for the first time that maybe he had neither the talent nor the ability to rejuvenate the country. Zhidan also clearly realized for the first time that Xia Yu was stronger than him, many times stronger, and this kind of genius who was almost heavenly was probably beyond his reach.

So Tian Xiang trembled, he couldn't say the word "able".

How could his own son not understand, Tian Chang saw Tian Xiang's appearance, even if he didn't say a lot, he knew the answer he hadn't said yet.

Tian Chang sighed, and said, "I see, you can step back."

Tian Xiang was in a hurry, he came to intercede for Xia Yu, if he left at this time, it would be pushing Xia Yu to death, so he wanted to say something, but Tian Chang stopped him.

Looking at Tian Xiang, Tian Chang's eyes showed a rare tenderness, and said: "A Xiang, I am your father, and the best friend is your father, you can't lie to me, and you don't have to lie to me, A Xiang, you have to know, no matter what , you are all my sons, you must inherit the Tian family's ancestral inheritance, it's late at night, go and rest."

Tian Xiang looked at his father, finally couldn't say anything unnecessary, saluted and backed away.

Grand Master's House.

Grand Master Neizuo went to the house where Xia Yu used to live, and asked the servant beside him, "Ah Yu hasn't come out for a few days?"

The servant replied: "It's been three days, and I didn't eat the food when I brought it in. I just sat in a daze."

Taishi Neizuo was already quite thin, and his face became more haggard. After a long time, he sighed, and told the elder beside him, "Go to Tian Zhi's residence, and call Tian Shu."

The elder hesitated, and said: "This...Tian Shu is detained by his father at the house, I'm afraid he won't make it through."

Taishi Neizuo's eyes flashed sharply, but his voice was still very peaceful, and he said, "Go and tell Tian Zhi that Tian Shu is not allowed to come here today, and the father and son will never come to Taishi's residence again."

The elder of the family has been in the Grand Master's Mansion for a long time, how could he not be able to tell that his inner master was already full of anger, he quickly bowed his head and said yes, turned around and went to Tian Zhi's mansion in person.

After a while, Tian Shu, who had been detained for several days, was invited into the Grand Master's residence.

However, in just a few days, so many things happened, Tian Shu felt a little bit of a world away when he walked into the familiar Grand Master's mansion in the past.

Walking to the remote house where Xia Yu lived in Taishi, Tian Shu suddenly felt a tightness in his throat, his eyes started to water, he stretched out his hand, intending to knock on the door, but before he could close the door, the closed door The door opened, and a young man in white uniform pushed it out.

It was noon at this time, and the sun was about to come down, reflecting on the skin that was still white and delicate like a jade, and the brows and eyes that were a little bit green and tender, still beautiful, but the smiling face of the past was nowhere to be seen. Yan, there was a little bit of coldness, for a moment Tian Shu remembered that when he first met, it was also such a noon, the sky was just right, reflecting on the young man's eyebrows and eyes, at that time he only felt that compared with the young man, everyone in the world It seems to have turned into dirt and dust.

Now, how long has it been, more than a year, the boy seems to have grown taller and opened, and the expression between his brows is a bit cold and sharp, but he can no longer be called a boy, and the combination is still the same. Still fascinated, but it seems that something has changed, not the same anymore.
