In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States without women

Young Master Bai was lifted up by Gong Bohou, wiped his tears and said: "At that time, when I learned that Qi people sent an army to go north, father-in-law decided to withdraw the army for the time being to ensure safety. Which one was attacked by despicable Qi people on the way, me and Gong Father had no choice but to retreat into Changdi City and hold on."

Gong Bohou's face was gloomy, and he didn't comment on what Young Master Bai said.

Gong Zibai also knew about these military affairs, Gong Bohou probably already knew about them, so he didn't say much, but wept directly, saying: "I know that my Yan army's defeat today, I can't absolve myself of the blame. After the incident, I have no complaints about how Gongbozu will punish you, but your father's life is at stake, so I ask your uncle to save him!"

Uncle Gong's expression softened a little, and he said, "What do you mean by saying that your majesty is in danger?"

Young Master Bai said: "The second younger brother led the army to defeat the Qi army. When the camp was broken, Tian Shu gathered his elite and broke into Changdi city desperately. My father-in-law and I were captured. Besieging Changdi for a long time, besieging but not attacking, the Qi people did not treat their fathers and fathers with the etiquette of a king of a country, and insulted them in every possible way."

Gong Bohou's eyes were gloomy at this time, and his face was flushed with anger. It is a great shame for the king of a country to be captured, let alone being insulted and trampled by other countries, although Gong Bohou has been avoiding thinking about how the Qi people will treat him during this period Your Majesty, but you are not so naive as to expect Tian's rebellious officials and traitors to treat each other with courtesy. At this time, it is confirmed from Mr. Bai's mouth that Mr. Yan's current situation is unbearable. !

Young Master Bai saw that Uncle was trembling with anger, but wept even more miserably, and said, "That's not counting. A few days ago, Xia Yu, the Shaobao of the State of Qi, assisted General Tian Xiang of the State of Qi to go north to fight a bloody battle with his second brother. The winner was decided, but Tian Xiang missed and was captured by his second brother. Xia Yu sent people to negotiate with his second brother, intending to exchange his father-in-law for Tian Xiang, but...but..." Before he could finish speaking, Young Master Bai burst into tears again .

Hearing this, Gong Bohou was extremely nervous. Seeing Young Master Bai crying loudly, he shouted angrily: "Why are you crying? What happened!? Convincing people to be willing to exchange for your lord to return to the country? Is your lord safe?"

Young Master Bai wept and said: "I don't know what the second brother thinks. He would rather exchange food and grass for the captives of the Yan people in the city than exchange Tian Xiang for the father-in-law. I put a little finger in the box and gave it to my second brother, but the second brother was still unmoved and insisted that he would not exchange Tian Xiang for his father-in-law. Every day, I cut off an object on the father-in-law until the father-in-law was dismantled into pieces."

Gong Bohou was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to settle the case, and he yelled angrily: "Since ancient times, punishment has never been higher than that of a doctor, let alone the king of a country! How dare Zhu Zi'an be so rude and bully my country of Yan?"

Seeing this, Young Master Bai hastily stepped forward and knelt down in front of Gong Bohou, took out a palm-sized box from his bosom, and said, "Gong Uncle, seeing that Father is suffering so much, Bai wishes to treat each other with his own body. , but Xia Yu is treacherous, let me go back to the country, let me show this thing to everyone in the country, if I don't act according to his request, father-in-law's suffering began today but it will not end today."

As he said that, Young Master Bai handed out the palm-sized box in his hand. Gong Bohou took it with some doubts, opened it, and immediately exclaimed—the box contained a thumb preserved with lime.

Even with Ji Fan, even if the monarchs and ministers are elders and juniors, how could Gong Bohou fail to recognize that this finger really belonged to Ji Fan? and request?"

The young master with lowered eyebrows flashed a flash of pride in his white eyes, then looked up at Gongbohou with a sad and painful expression, and said, "Xia Yu needs the death of his second brother to calm down his anger."

Uncle Gong was speechless for a while.

Half a month later, in Changdi City.

Hiding far away in the alleys, looking at the side door of Changdi City opened, and the soldiers of the State of Qi pressing the captives of the Yan people marching out, the cook who was helping the kitchen of the Changdi official office looked at the guards of Qi The Chinese soldiers saw that the defense was tight and there was no gap to follow.

Then, there was a burst of dust, and a group of people joined the team, as if they were about to leave the city.

This is not uncommon. You must know that although Changdi is not as rich as Linzi, where the world's wealth gathers and merchants gather, but it is located at the junction of Qi State and Yan State, and there are also many merchants from various countries. At this time, there is a shortage of food in Changdi City. Going out of the city on their own, so almost every day some merchants and Yan captives waited at the side door to leave the city.

However, the cook who hid from a distance to observe still saw the difference. In the past, those merchants were waiting by the side until the soldiers of Qi State allowed them to come out. The Yan captives gave way and let the team go first.

This surprised the cook.

The outskirts of Changdi.

Tian Shu, who was pretending to be a merchant from the Jin Kingdom, looked at Xia Yu beside him, and said, "This... is this really okay?"

Xia Yu, who was dressed in coarse sackcloth, raised her eyebrows and said, "During this period, we have exchanged prisoners of war with the Yan people several times, and there are frequent exchanges of personnel. This is a good opportunity to go out of the city."

Looking at Xia Yu's face, Tian Shu couldn't help turning his head, and said, "But it's too dangerous after all."

Xia Yu sighed and said, "Isn't it dangerous to stay in the city? Just sit and wait, and when the government orders me to exchange Ah Xiang, either I will obediently let the people of Yan kill me, or I Disobedient and rebellious, you are a child of the Tian family, do you want me to rebel against the Tian family?"

Tian Shu rolled his eyes at Tian, ​​and said: "Okay, okay, no matter what you say, you are right, I can't say no to you."

Xia Yu curled her lips and said, "I was justified!"

Tian Shu turned his head again and looked directly at Xia Yu's face.

It took a lot of time to try to sneak into the captive team of the Yan people, but failed due to the tight guards. The cook had no choice but to work in the kitchen of the Changdi official office until one day the small kitchen was short of manpower, and the cook was transferred to deliver meals .

Carrying the food box and following behind, the cook only hated that he didn't have poison in his hand at this time, otherwise he would have eliminated the strong enemy of the Yan people immediately.

After entering the house, the butcher opened the food boxes one by one to lay out the vegetables. The cook cooperated with the food box and glanced at the long sword at the waist of the Qi general after the case, thinking that if he grabbed the sword and killed people, he could succeed.

At this time, the general with the sword was arguing fiercely with the people beside him, saying: "I think Shaobao is always too risky!"

This sword general was also flanked by a Qi general, who was serving food at this time, and said very casually: "Shaobao will never make a mistake, why are you so worried."

General Saber said: "No, I always feel that when I go to Yan Country, and I even bring General Tian Shu with me, if something happens, even the person in charge..."

Before he finished speaking, General Qi Guo who was picking up vegetables raised his hand to signal General Saber to shut up, then quickly glanced at the butcher who was serving vegetables, then glared at General Saber, saying: "Be careful!"

General Saber also realized that he had slipped his mouth, so he kept silent.

Instead, the cook with his head bowed and holding the food box was terrified at this moment. His head full of doubts went down the river and he remembered that the team who had been honored by the city defense order and left the city just a few days ago contacted the two generals of the Qi State. What you said - it's hard to say that the one who left the city at that time was Xia Yu, the Shaobao of Qi State?Xia Yu went to Yan Country?What does he want to do?

With all these questions in his mind, the cook decided that he couldn't wait any longer and had to get out of town as soon as possible no matter what!
