In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Qin Kai took a step forward and grabbed Sun You, saying: "Okay, stop making trouble, are you trying to embarrass the crown prince?"

Sun You held his hand tremblingly, shook off Qin Kai's tugging, pointed at Xia Yu and said, "Don't you remember how many of us he killed!? Did Archie just die for nothing!?"

Xia Yu just looked at Sun You like this for a long time, then turned around and picked up the long and short sword held by one of the servants, and drew the tip out of the sheath. There was a loud sword chant, and the sword's edge flashed coldly, which made Qin Kai instantly alert and pulled Sun You back. After taking a few steps, he looked warily at Xia Yu who was holding the sword.

Xia Yu didn't look at Sun You and Qin Kai's expressions at all, and leaned over to look at Yang Zhisun who was kneeling at his feet, and said, "Raise your head."

Yang Zhisun raised his head tremblingly and looked at Xia Yu. Xia Yu just looked at him, his eyes were as calm as ice, and said, "Do you want to live or die?"

Yang Zhisun's eyes trembled violently for a moment, Xia Yu's lips trembled, he was speechless for a while, Xia Yu just looked at him like this, and said: "If you want to be a man, then you can still follow me, I promise you, I will It’s still me, I’m still your Shangguan.” His eyes instantly turned into an abyss, and he said, “If I want to continue to be a dog, I will kill you with my own hands today to set you free.”

When Yang Zhisun heard Xia Yu say that he could continue to follow him, his eyes lit up, his lips trembled and he sobbed, and the monkey head groaned loudly for a long time, and he squeezed out a few syllables: "Follow... follow... Shao... Bao , follow... less... Bao."

Xia Yu stood up slowly, looked at the prostrate Yang Zhisun, and said, "Stand up."

Yang Zhisun, who looked up at Xia Yu tremblingly, looked at Xia Yu with confused eyes. Xia Yu looked down at Yang Zhisun and said, "Stand up! If you stand up today, you are still my subordinate! You are a human being, you are a soldier, One should stand!"

There were violent emotional fluctuations in Yang Zhisun's eyes, and he trembled. After a long time, he finally began to support his limbs and struggled to stand up. However, at this moment, the memories of being whipped and tortured began to drill into his mind, and the memories of fear It made Yang Zhisun start to tremble and start to fear. An extremely simple movement - to stand up, seems to be extremely difficult at this moment.

Yang Zhisun supported his limbs with difficulty, trembling, gasping for breath, and then a mournful cry, like a dying beast, rushed out of his throat. Both Qin Kai and Qin Kai were speechless for a while.

Howling, trembling and panting, Yang Zhisun used his strength to complete the simplest movement in the eyes of an ordinary person - standing up, and then he finally stood up with his legs that seemed to have no strength , and at the moment when he stood up, the grandson of Yang Zhisun, who was a strong man, was crying at this time, crying unsightly, tears flowing along the dirty beard that had not been combed for a long time, the crying was ugly, hoarse and shrill.

Xia Yu, who had been standing there watching Yang Zhisun struggling and trembling, walked up to Yang Zhisun, took off his cloak, put it on Yang Zhisun's naked upper body, and said, "Welcome back, brother."

Yang Zhisun cried, it was no longer the hoarse sobbing like a ghost cry, but a real wail. Xia Yu looked at Yang Zhisun who was crying like a child at this time, a gleam of pain flashed across his eyes, but quickly Concentrating back to his eyes and regaining his composure, he turned his head and said to Qi Lu, who was waiting for orders against the wall in the hall with his sword clenched tightly, "You take Yang Zhisun down and take good care of him."

Perhaps because of Xia Yu's former ministry, Qi Lu was in charge of guarding the hall for a banquet today. Since Xia Yu and Sun You had clashed just now, Qi Lu had been holding his sword tightly and waiting for orders. Seeing the miserable situation of Yang Zhisun, Qi Lu was angry Bofa waited for Xia Yu's order to rush forward, but at this time Xia Yu's order was not for him to rush forward and kill people, but to take care of Yang Zhisun.

Qi Lu performed a military salute and accepted the order. Although he was still full of anger towards Sun You, Qi Lu somewhat guessed Xia Yu's intention of letting him take care of Yang Zhisun - he and Yang Zhisun belonged to Xia Yu's former army and comrades-in-arms.

Seeing Qi Lu helping Yang Zhisun down, Sun You wanted to say something, but Qin Kai who was beside him firmly held him back. Qin Kai lowered his voice and whispered in Sun You's ear: "Ancestor, don't make trouble. Don’t you think it’s ugly enough?”

Seeing Yang Zhisun being taken away by Qi Lu, Xia Yu turned her head to look at Sun You, and said, "You said you gave me this great gift, and I will accept it. You have no objection, right?"

Sun You used the gift as an excuse, but in fact wanted to humiliate Xia Yu, avenge his colleague Situ Qi, and vent his anger. However, at this time Xia Yu directly said "receive the gift" and used Sun You's excuse to block Sun You's own actions. mouth, but Sun You couldn't say anything to refute.

Xia Yu didn't pay attention to Sun You any more, turned around and went back to the main table, leaned over and picked up a copper ritual wine vase for opening banquets, glanced at the people with different expressions in the lobby, and raised the wine to respect the wine channel : "Before today's meeting, I want to pay tribute to a warrior."

After Sun You made such a fuss just now, the nobles and relatives of the State of Yan in the lobby have their own thoughts, and there are no less than convincing people who are at odds with each other. He froze, and even fought violently, so many people were very surprised to hear that Xia Yu even raised a toast to "pay tribute to some warrior".

Slowly glancing at everyone, Xia Yu calmly walked down from the high platform again, facing Sun You from a distance, and said, "Respect the warrior of Yan Kingdom, Situ Qi."

Everyone, including Sun You, was taken aback.

Xia Yu looked at Sun You, and said, "Outside Changdi City, Situ Qi was brave and fearless, holding back nearly 8000 soldiers of the Qi army with [-] people. Everything outside Di City has been annexed by the Qi army, and the country of Yan is in danger of subjugation."

Just looking at Sun You and all the noble relatives of the Yan State in the hall, he said: "The general will eventually die in battle, wrapped in horse leather, Situ Qi has made great contributions to the State of Yan, and he died in a deadly battle. He deserves respect. When we met on the battlefield in the past, we Respect such an enemy, today I am serving as my servant, and I respect such a loyal warrior who serves the country."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yu raised the wine cupper and shouted loudly, "Loyal ministers who respect the country, warriors on the battlefield!"

Everyone in the hall was stunned. Situ Qi died on the battlefield. This is known to everyone in the country of Yan. However, fighting is the same as playing games these days. People die in battle every year. Situ of the Yan State was a powerful family in the Yan State Dynasty, and Situ Qi was a hardcore submissive party, so his death was noticed by many officials of the State of Yan. The dignitaries may not even know how many people died on the battlefield in Yan Kingdom.

Originally, it’s one thing not to care or not to understand, but it’s still necessary to save face, so if someone else publicly said at the banquet that he wanted to die for the country, all the loyal ministers and warriors would definitely return to Qiqi to follow the toast, but at this moment It was a bit strange that the person holding the wine to respect was the "murderer" who killed Situ Qi.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in blank amazement.

"Honours, Archie."

A thicker voice came from outside the hall, and following the voice into the hall was the firm figure of Furen.

Maybe it's because soldiers have the habit of straightening their backs, so they look extraordinarily strong and resolute and have to rely on them, Xia Yu thought as she watched Furen walk into the hall.

Convincing people to walk into the main hall, today he went to the palace to discuss and refine the list of rewards and punishments for soldiers after these successive battles with his own father, and spent a lot of time extracting money from the governor of the state. The soldiers are resurrected, and the only thing these comrades can do after they are killed is to fight for more things for their family members who are still alive.

Furen had reported to Xia Yu before leaving the mansion that the banquet would be late tonight. To be honest, he actually didn't like this kind of noble banquet. He definitely didn't want to be early if he could be late. Then there was such a scene.

Furen walked into the main hall slowly, turned around and looked around the hall. Among them were his relatives of his own blood, some of Yan's noble relatives, some who were good to him, and some who were enemies to him.The strange thing is that Furen felt extraordinarily peaceful at this moment, without the shyness and embarrassment when he first returned to the palace, nor the disgust and alienation after getting older and stronger. Perhaps at this moment, Furen realized for the first time, I am different from these people, and finally accepted this difference calmly, no longer tried to persuade me to get closer to integration, calmly and even calmly accepted the barriers and differences that will exist between myself and all my relatives from beginning to end, including in my future life.

He is still out of place, but he no longer cares, maybe because he finally has someone who understands him and stands with him to face the whole world.

The servant took a look at Xia Yu, then picked up from the case table the exquisite copper wine vessel that belonged to the prince according to the etiquette, held up the wine, and said in a loud voice: "The country of Yan has fought one after another, if the warriors of the country are not afraid of life and death , Fighting the enemy bravely, the country of Yan is in danger of being overthrown, the whole country should respect the loyal ministers and warriors of our country! Respect the soul of the martyrdom! Respect Situ Qi!"

After Furen had finished his words, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and finally picked up their wine glasses and said loudly: "Respect to the loyal ministers and warriors of our country! Respect to the souls of the soldiers who died for the country! Respect to Situ Qi!"

When the convincing person spoke, even if Sun You and Qin Kai didn't buy Xia Yu's face, they would not disobey the submissive person. Qin Kai held on tightly to Sun You, dragging Sun You back to his seat.

Convincing people saw that Sun You gritted his teeth and lowered his head to let Qin Kai pull him back to his seat. He didn't say anything, but glanced at the people in the hall again, and said: "Everyone is hungry too, let's have a feast, the current chef in my mansion , I won’t let you down.”

After finishing speaking, Confucian turned to look at Xia Yu, took Xia Yu's hand very naturally, and said, "Let's go back to the table."

Xia Yu was taken aback by the action of the convincing person holding his hand. The warm touch on his fingertips made him unable to react for a while. Behind the side-by-side main seats.

At this time, the butcher was carrying the roasted whole lamb into the hall, and prepared the food with a knife according to the banquet etiquette, but at this time, no one paid attention to the golden and crispy whole lamb that was overflowing with the aroma of roasting, and they all looked at it in a daze The obedient person firmly held Xia Yu's hand and walked back to the chief seat on the high platform.

To be honest, the food at this banquet was very wonderful. There were many dishes that the princes and relatives of the State of Yan had never tasted before. All of them were a little tasteless, and the banquet was held in a somewhat weird environment, and finally ended.

At the end of the show, the nobles were sent away one by one according to the etiquette. The servant gave a long sigh at the end, looked at Xia Yu, and said, "Ayu, I'm sorry, and thank you."
