In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

"Is this credible?" Mr. Gu Zhu carefully inspected the silk script, and said, "Exchanging captives for food? What kind of tricks are the people of Qi trying to do?"

The young master stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the soldiers of the Yan army who were patrolling outside the military tent, and said: "The person who came here said that Xia Yu personally instructed him to exchange the prisoners of war of the Yan State in Changdi City for food and grass."

Mr. Gu Zhu had a thought, and asked: "Did they mention that they will exchange Tian Xiang with the emperor and the eldest son?"

The young master shook his head convincingly, and said: "The visitor is a little vague about this."

Mr. Gu Zhu frowned slightly, and said: "Could it be true that the lord and the eldest son are trapped in Changdi, but they haven't been captured yet?"

Young Master Furen sighed, and said: "Chang Di is now airtight, and it is too difficult to know the current situation in the city."

Gu Zhucun's face was deep, obviously deep in thought, he said: "This matter is weird!"

The young master turned around and looked at Gu Zhucun'a, and said, "Why did the teacher say that?"

Gu Zhu Cun'a said: "We have already released the news that the Qi State Government is negotiating with our Yan State. As long as Xia Yu is not deaf, he should already know that the Qi State Government intends to exchange him for Tian Xiang, but there is no response. What is the meaning of the idea of ​​exchanging captives for food at this time? Could it be that Xia Yu conceded defeat and just waited obediently for Tian Chang to be punished? Could it be that he really ignored Tian Xiang's life and death? He's someone who sits and waits to die."

No one could answer this series of questions, but Gu Zhucun'a didn't expect others to answer, he asked himself more.

The young master was convincing, but he ignored Gu Zhucun'a's almost self-talking question, but said: "I have already agreed."

Gu Zhu Cun'a, who was still thinking about it, was shocked when he heard this, and said: "My lord, you can't! I'm afraid there is a conspiracy in this matter, we haven't figured it out, so don't agree rashly."

Young Master Furen looked at Gu Zhu Cun'a, smiled, the originally gentle smile on his dark face showed a bit of sadness, and said: "Could it be that there is a conspiracy and we don't care about the life and death of my children in Yan Kingdom? Chang Di There is a shortage of food, and the people of Qi can't even eat enough. Can we expect them to treat the captives kindly? If we let the children of Yan Kingdom continue to ignore them, a few people will be able to return alive."

Young Master Furen looked at the dark cloudy sky outside the big tent, and said: "Teacher, the people handed over their sons, brothers and fathers to us for the sake of fighting for the country, not for nothing. The people of Yan can't be like the people of Yue. Burnt charcoal sticks under the city of Linzi, you can't even distinguish their names, whether it's a conspiracy or not, I can't leave the children of Yan Guo alone, if it's really a trap", the young master is very convincing He said calmly, "Just let Xia Yu come at me."

Gu Zhucun'a opened his mouth to stop him, but he still didn't say a word in the end, probably because he knew the character of his son and knew that even persuasion would be useless.

A cook from Changdi’s official office entered the kitchen with the freshly received dry firewood. He silently listened to the orders of the soldiers in charge of the kitchen, stacked them, and then silently followed the orders of the soldiers to start chopping meat and dividing vegetables. Another chef from Qi State is chatting in Qi language while washing vegetables:

"Do you think something is wrong these days?"

"What's wrong?"

"I heard from the little chef that they don't have to deliver food to Shuai Tang for the past two days."

"How could it be? Shaobao's mouth is notoriously picky. When he can't be careful, he can be like everyone else, but when he can be, he is unambiguous."

"Have you heard?" The vegetable washman approached his companion mysteriously, and said, "People in the small kitchen guess that Shaobao may no longer be in the city."

The man who washed the meat was surprised and said: "Impossible! Shaobao is not someone who ran away! Don't spread this word, be careful of the military law!"

The vegetable washman said: "Who said that Shaobao escaped in front of the battle!? I mean it might be like it was in Pingyin again."

The meat-cleaning man said: "You think Shaobao has another idea? That's good, this place is too suffocating. Hurry up and clean up the Yanren, so we can go back to Linzi and rest for a while."

The cook who washed the vegetables said: "It must! I heard from the person who delivered the meal to that shitty King of Yan that the Shaobao sent that son back to the country."

"Dangdang!"

The person who was stacking firewood dropped a piece of firewood in his hand and smashed it into the firewood pile, making a noise, which startled the two men who were talking.

The cook who washed the vegetables turned his head to look at the person who was stacking firewood, and cursed: "You don't have eyes! You can make a mistake every time you pile up firewood! These people with long dicks are really..."

The meat-cleaning guy next to him stopped the guy who was scolding, and said: "Okay, why don't you grow Di? They are all Qi people, and the Yan people are still surrounding the city. It's outrageous to have internal strife at this time." !"

The man who washed the vegetables stopped talking when he heard this, but he still cursed a few times, but he didn't target anyone anymore, it was more like venting his anger, while the guy who was yarding firewood turned his head and used a long bag Di said in a fluent Qi language: "I'm really sorry, I haven't eaten two meals, I'm so hungry."

The meat-cleaning man was quite kind, and said, "Why didn't you eat? Recently, another batch of grain and grass has been transported into the city. There is plenty of food in the city, so why can't we have food?"

Machai's man said: "This... I'm slow, I can't grab it all the time, and the food is tight, so I simply didn't go."

The meat-cleaning man smiled and said: "No need to do that, Shaobao negotiated with the Yan people, and exchanged Yan's captives for food and grass. Now there is enough food and grass. Go ahead and grab it."

The guy at Chai Chai smiled, turned around and left, walked out of the kitchen door, and walked out until a deserted corner began to show an anxious expression, pacing back and forth irritably, with only one thought in his mind - to go out of the city , hurry out of the city and tell the young master Furen, the eldest young master Bai has been sent back to the country!

In Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom, at the mansion of Duke Zongzheng, a servant hurriedly called up the sleeping Gongbohou at night, causing Gongbohou to be furious, and scolded, "Why are you in such a hurry!?"

In fact, it’s no wonder that Uncle Hou was so angry. The soldiers of Yan State were all on the front line. First, Lord Yan and Eldest Prince Bai were defeated, and their lives and deaths were unknown. Unknown, for this reason, Gong Bohou is almost restless day and night, guarding the front-line military newspapers such as Guo Fu Ji Di Day and Night Jiao in the official office, and has not slept in this way for several months.

Today, Gongbohou returned home to rest, he was rarely able to fall asleep, but was called out hastily, how could he not be angry, but Gongbohou's anger dissipated immediately after hearing the servant's report, because the servant was trembling, Kneeling on the ground, he said: "Report...Report to the lord, the eldest son is holding the house."

Gong Bohou blinked, and it took him a while to realize, "You... who are you talking about?"

The servant repeated again: "Elder... Young Master Bai shuts down the mansion late at night."

Uncle Hou was stunned, and then seemed to have come to his senses, he hurriedly got up and changed his clothes, and when he got to the front hall, he saw the eldest son of Yan Kingdom with disheveled white hair, looking like a beggar, when he saw Gongbohou, he jumped up and hugged him thigh, crying: "Uncle Gong, save my father-in-law!"

At this time, Gong Bohou was very surprised to see the embarrassment of the eldest son Bai, he helped him up, and said, "What do you mean by this? You and your lord are in Changdi? You have to go back to the country, where is your lord?"

Young Master Bai wiped his tears, choked with sobs and said: "Uncle Gong, Furen wants to kill me and father-in-law! If you don't stop Furen, Gonguncle, father-in-law will die and return home."

Gong Bohou blinked and said, "Why did you say that? Something happened to your majesty? Don't worry, just speak slowly."
