Chapter 105 The Grand Banquet (1)
"Prosecution?"
When everyone heard this, they all showed surprise eyes. This method is indeed good. If Qihou is willing to drive himself to conquer, the King of Chu will definitely join forces with Tan Guo to cheat Qihou. Hanging dead in the border of Tan State can definitely provide a perfect cover for Song State.
However, this approach sounds a bit dangerous.
Qi Hou didn't seem to take it very seriously, he just smiled and said lightly: "Okay, listen to the second brother."
That tone is full of pampering...
Only Wu Jiu could see that when Qi Hou was talking full of favor, his eyes were already on the plate of spicy clams, and he couldn't help himself, as if he was ready to destroy the plate of clams at any time.
Although everyone felt that it was dangerous, no one seemed to be able to refute it, because apart from this method, everyone could not think of any other way to make the king of Chu not suspicious. If he wanted to cover Song, he must depend on Qihou.
Wu Jiu also said: "In fact, you don't have to worry about the problems of Tan State. The most important issue right now is that once Chu State sends troops, the Lu State, Ju State, and the remnants of Sui State, which are hostile to our country, are likely to be killed. Bewitched by Chu, they sent troops to attack Qi. These countries are all in the south of our country. If they send troops together, even if Qi is strong, it will not be able to withstand repeated attacks. Please prepare early.”
Wu Jiu had already set a trap for Shang Shang before, deliberately telling him that the south of Qi State was empty, and with that fake picture of soldiers and horses, in this way, the King of Chu was so smart that he would definitely unite with the south of Qi State The state went to attack Qi State, so that Qi State could not rescue Zheng State.
Qi Hou pondered for a while, although he was pondering, but he didn't slow down his hand, but dragged the plate of spicy clams over, holding the chopsticks in one hand, and pressing the clams with the other hand, "Ka Ka" two times With a sound, the clam was disassembled, and the clam meat was thrown into the mouth, and then the movement was repeated.
Wu Jiu's scalp felt numb when he looked at it, and Qi Hou said at this time: "This is easy to handle, Doctor Cao, after the orphan's conquest, you can take the secret order of the orphan and go to the king of the state of Lu, and ask the king of the state of Lu to take care of the situation of the state of Lu." If you support me in the south of the Qi Kingdom, you will tell the monarch of the Kingdom of Zhu that if the matter is completed, the monarch of the Kingdom of Zhu will be a hero. At that time, I will report to the emperor, ask the emperor to be the master, and canonize the monarch of the Kingdom of Zhu as a marquis."
Cao GUI quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
This is indeed a good idea, thinking that only Chu will unite with other countries?Qi State will naturally unite with other countries, and Yifu, the king of Zhu State, is a sensible person. For the development of Lu State, the king of Qi State will definitely unite with Qi State, so that he can get the canonization of the Son of Zhou and leave Lu control of a dependent state.
Wu Jiu nodded and said: "This is a good idea. Although the state of Zhu is not big, it has recuperated all these years and its military strength is very strong. If the state of Lu is holding back the state of Lu, if the state of Lu cannot send troops, the king of the state of Ju will be defeated." He is also a seriously suspicious person, so he will definitely hesitate."
Qihou nodded, and said: "At that time, I will write a letter alone, so that Da Sima can control the remnants of Suiguo, Zhou Fu and Su'er."
As he spoke, Shi Su and Zhou Fu hurriedly offered their hands and said, "Your Majesty."
Qihou said: "When you two left Linzi City alone, you stayed in the country and moved your troops to the south in case of emergency."
Shi Su and Zhou Fu immediately clasped their fists together and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Qihou turned to Zhanxiong again and said, "Fourth brother, how about you? We have finished eating tonight, and we will set off early tomorrow morning before dawn. We will sneak out of Linzi City, first go to the State of Song to explain the situation to Duke Song, and ask him to send troops to rescue him." Zheng."
When Zhanxiong heard it, he didn't think it was a hard job. After all, Zhanxiong hadn't seen Song Gongyu for several months. Although he said that Song Gong would come to the wedding of Sun Xipeng, the boss of the company, but the wedding is still a long time away. , so Zhanxiong got lovesickness, and now let him go to the Song Dynasty, although the conditions were difficult and he secretly went to the Song Dynasty, and it was not a mission, but Zhanxiong was also very happy.
Zhanxiong immediately said: "Yes, third brother, don't worry, just leave it to me!"
Qihou said with a smile again: "In this way, the affairs of state affairs will be handed over to the two princes and the two supervisors. The second elder brother, Master Zhao and Master Dongguo will accompany you. Let's... wait for the turtle to be caught."
Qi Hou was poking clams and giving orders, and he seemed to be in order. After everyone listened, they looked down and saw that the big plate of spicy clams had been eaten up, and the others hurriedly started peeling clams.
Wu Jiao doesn’t like peeling clams, because he is a clean freak. Although it smells delicious when eaten, his hands will inevitably be fishy after eating, and he has to wash it many times, so Wu Jiao is too lazy to peel clams and eat them. .
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother, do you eat? It's very delicious. Can you peel two for me?"
As Qihou said, he flicked the chopsticks skillfully, and the clam meat fell off immediately, and then he held it with the chopsticks and sent it to Wu Jiu's mouth.
The chopsticks belonged to Marquis Qi, so of course Marquis Qi had just put them in his mouth. If Wu Jiao had followed his previous attitude, the chopsticks and chopsticks stained with Marquis Qi's saliva would definitely be disgusted by Wu Jiu, but now I don't feel so disgusted. , but some are not too embarrassed, I always feel that it is better to use serving chopsticks...
Here, Qi Hou picked clams for Wu Jiao, and everyone saw that there was no food left, so they quickly lowered their heads and ate them. They had already eaten all the skewers before, because there were too many heads, so Wu Jiao could only do it. If it is divided evenly, everyone will eat less at once, and everyone is still unsatisfied, so all eyes are on the spicy clams.
Zhanxiong directly grabbed a handful of clams and began to shell them. He was not like Qihou. Although he ate ferociously, his movements were graceful. Zhanxiong ate ferociously, and his movements were also ferocious.
Zhan Huo, who was next to him, saw it and felt that although his brother had grown up and become tall and burly, he was still troublesome, so he quickly gave him a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it quickly, don't drip it on your clothes." superior."
Zhanxiong was happy eating, so he didn't have time to wipe it off, so he responded, "Brother, it's delicious, eat it quickly, or there will be no more."
The appearance of Zhanxiong made Zang Chen beside him laugh. After all, Zhanxiong was a mercenary of nine thousand, which made the nobles of all countries fearful. He was a well-known Bandit Zhi, but now, this famous Bandit Zhi seems like a big child.
Zang Chen has a paralyzed face, and he doesn't smile on weekdays, but now that he smiled, Zhan Xiong and Zhan Huo raised their heads to look at him in surprise, almost showing Zang Chen the hair.
Over there, Zhaohu saw Zhanxiong eating fiercely, so he quickly reached out to peel the shells, but Zhaohu was a little clumsy, he couldn't peel the shells well, not only the shells were not good, but the clams were all rotten when he pulled them out. Use your teeth to bite.
Seeing Zhaohu's clumsiness, Zhanxiong laughed and said, "Doctor Zhong, you can't peel the shell like this, it's all rotten, and if you peel one, I'll eat three!"
Zhanxiong said that Zhaohu was even more anxious, his face flushed red, but he still couldn't peel it off well, Zhaohu couldn't do it in anger, Zhanhuo saw that his brother was bullying Zhaohu, and quickly said, "Zhanxiong."
Zhao Hu was in a hurry, but he didn't eat much. Seeing that the plate had bottomed out, he still couldn't finish it. At this time, Dong Guoya next to him suddenly pushed his plate over. Everyone saw, good guy, it turned out that Dong Guoya had been silent all the time. He didn't speak, but he was secretly peeling clams. He peeled a large plate of clams, piled up like a hill.
Dong Guoya pushed the plate to Zhaohu, and Zhaohu's eyes lit up in an instant, and directed Dongguoya to pour a spoonful of spicy soup on the clam meat, so that it was quite tasty and delicious when eaten with the soup. .
Seeing that the clams were wiped out, Qi Hou hurriedly went to eat grilled fish again. Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched as he watched a group of starving ghosts eat up a large table of food.
Everyone finished eating, because the entrance was closed, so everyone stayed in the palace for the night, while Zhanxiong was getting ready, and he was ready to go on the road before dawn, and hurried to the Song Kingdom.
Qi Hou ate to his heart's content, and lay down on the couch after taking a bath. Wu Jiu just took a bath at this time, and Qi Hou looked at Wu Jiu with a smile on his face.
Wu Zheng was taking a bath, he felt itchy on his neck, a strand of hair fell from it, brushing the side of Wu Jiu's neck, no wonder it was itchy.
Wu Jiao turned his head and saw that it was Qi Hou who came over. Qi Hou lowered his head, put his hands on the edge of the tub, kissed Wu Jiu lightly on the lips, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "Second Brother, Shall I wash it for you?"
Wu Jiao saw that Qi Hou's eyes were deep and his heart beat wildly twice. I don't know if it was because of the hot water, but his steaming face felt unnatural. Qi Hou immediately lowered his head, kissed Wu Jiu's forehead, and then slowly Sliding down, he took Wu Jiu's lips in his mouth again, deepening the kiss.
Qi Hou felt that the atmosphere was really good, and Wu Jiu was taking a bath, so the welfare was good, Wu Jiu didn't resist, and the timing was good, so he prepared to seize the right time, place and people to further attack Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiao felt that he had no strength, he tilted his head back and leaned against the edge of the bathtub, but at this moment, Wu Jiao smelled a very strong fishy smell!
Naturally, it was the smell from Qihou's hands, because Qihou was rushing to eat clams just now, so the fishy smell from his hands, Wu Jiao woke up immediately when he smelled the smell, and hurriedly pushed Qihou's hands away , Said: "Your Majesty, your hands are too fishy."
Qihou looked at Wu Jiu's obsessed face just now, and then changed it to disgust. He suddenly felt that his self-esteem was hit, and his heart was broken into scum. Seeing that Wu Jiao was about to get up and dry himself, he hurriedly said: "Second brother , Is it okay to wash your hands alone? Wait a while alone?"
Wu Jiao was very helpless when he saw Qihou's shameless face, but in fact, it was useless for Qihou to wash his hands, because he peeled too many shells, so his hands were always fishy. When going to bed at night, Wu Jiao would not let Qihou touch his Own.
Qi Hou shrank in the corner like a little daughter-in-law, Wu Jiu didn't even cover him with a quilt, Qi Hou hugged his own quilt pitifully, almost biting the corner of the quilt.
Before dawn, Zhan Xiong hurried out of the city, galloping all the way to the Song Kingdom, preparing to report the news, and the others also began to prepare.
But Wu Jiu went back to the Political Affairs Hall and continued to sit in the township, nothing special happened. Not long after that, Marquis Qi received letters from Zheng Guo and Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi successively.
Zheng Guo’s letter is naturally asking for help. In fact, Zheng Guo also wants to ask for help from other countries, but other countries dare not join Chu. When in power, the strategy used is to make friends with distant countries, that is, to make friends with distant countries. Because of the distance, their interests will not conflict greatly, and to attack countries that are closer. Land conflict issues.
But when he came to the king of Chu Xiongfei, Xiongfei was no longer satisfied with long-distance friendship and short-term attack. After all, his father had laid a solid foundation for his national strength. arrive.
In this way, the countries next to Chu State did not dare to save Zheng State, for fear of being destroyed like Deng State and Shen State.Deng Guo is the country of Xiong Pei's mother, and Shen Guo is the country of Xiong Pei's teacher. Neither of these two countries is immune, let alone other countries that have nothing to do with each other.
And the countries far away were also frightened by King Chu's military strength. No one could help Zheng Guo. , Sent to Linzi City, implored Qi Hou to send troops to rescue Zheng Guo.
Ji Zhongben was dying of illness. After all, he was too old and had been a powerful minister for so many years. However, because of the menacing attack of Chu State, Ji Zhong was so frightened that he returned to the light.
Jizhong said in the letter that his daughter is the wife of Qihou Yizi, so he and Qihou are also in-laws, and Zheng Guo and Qi are also in-laws. Although many unpleasant things happened before, Zheng Guo needs it now. Rescue, facing the disaster of extinction, if Zheng State is destroyed, then the land of China will become a power storage point for the southern barbarians, a front-line arsenal, and in this way, Qi State will also be threatened by Chu State.
Wu Jiu read Ji Zhong's letter, Ji Zhong is worthy of being an old minister, he analyzed it logically, fearing that Qi Hou didn't understand the truth, as if he didn't send troops to rescue him, and even got married to Qi Hou.
After Zheng Guo's letter came, it was a matter of front and back, and Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi's letter also came, but this time it was not a letter, but an edict.
Order Qihou to send troops quickly to rescue Zheng Guo, in order to promote the concept of respecting the king and fighting barbarians.
The Marquis of Qi quickly convened a temporary court meeting, and all the officials heard that the emperor's edict came down, and because it was an edict, they were in a hurry.
Doctors Qing entered the palace one after another, and walked quickly to the Lu bedroom. Everyone quickly entered the main hall. After Wu Jiu entered, many people surrounded him, wanting to ask Wu Jiu about his attitude.
After all, now who doesn't know that Wu Jiu is a favorite?Wu Jiu's attitude is likely to be that of Marquis Qi's. Everyone wants to feel it first, so that when Marquis Qi comes out in a while, he won't be caught blind, and he won't flatter a horse's ass.
But before Wu Jiu made a statement, Marquis Qi had already come out, sat on the table, and said: "You don't need to salute, just sit down."
Everyone hurriedly sat down, and Qi Hou asked the eunuch to read out the imperial edict of Zhou Tianzi, Qi Hou began to show off his acting skills again, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "What do you think about this matter?"
When he said this, everyone looked at me and looked at you, but Gao Xi was the first to stand up and said: "Gao Xi thought that since the emperor has issued an edict, the emperor must obey it!"
Qihou knew that Gao Xi could talk, so he followed his words and said, "Gu also thinks so."
Marquis Qi had already stated his position, and the others quickly followed Marquis Qi's wishes, and more than [-]% of them agreed to send troops.
At this time, Wu Jiu stood up again and performed according to the script rehearsed in advance, saying: "Your Majesty, it is inevitable to send troops, but Qi State is far away from Zheng State. Unless we use Tan State, our soldiers and horses will be difficult to rescue." , By the time we detour into the state of Zheng, I am afraid that the state of Zheng has become the territory of the state of Chu."
When he said this, everyone nodded, and Gao Xi cupped his hands again and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Xi can ask for orders to bribe and lobby Tan Guo. Tan Guogong is now seriously ill, and the prince of Tan Guo is a greedy person. Gao Xi is sure to persuade you Prince Tan Guo, please borrow the way to Qi Guo with me."
Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu were supposed to act for Ta Shang, and Gao Xi asked for orders in person, and the doctor of Jian Guo went to bribe the Crown Prince of Tan Guo, so Ta Shang would definitely believe it.
Qi Hou said with a smile: "Gaozi is a loyal minister, so I have to thank Gaozi."
Gao Xi quickly said: "Your Majesty is serious, sharing your worries is what Gao Xi should do."
Qihou said again: "There is no need to delay, Chu State has sent troops, and Qi State has no time to prepare, so Gao Zi will go now."
"Yes!"
Gao Xi didn't know that Qi Hou's attempt to save Zheng Guo was false, and he turned around and left immediately with an agitated expression on his face.
Wu Jiao observed Ta Shang's expression secretly. Hi Shang lowered his head. Although he was listening, his expression was calm. Wu Jiao knew that Ta Shang was very smart. Maybe Ta Shang was thinking now that Marquis Qi asked Gao Xi to bribe Tan Guo. , Is it a trap? After all, I was already a little exposed before.
Wu Jiu saw Dao Shang's hesitation, and knew that he would not be so gullible, so he raised his head and gave Qi Hou a wink.
When Qihou saw it, he coughed and said: "Now Zheng is in trouble, and the emperor has issued an edict again, ordering Qi to send troops to rescue quickly. Chu is so deceptive because it sees that there is no one in our Zhou Dynasty. It is really a deception." There are too many people. Now that we send troops from Qi State, we want to show off to those southern barbarians from Chu State. On the one hand, it is to inspire the army, and on the other hand, it is also to express respect for the emperor, and to promote our Qi State to respect the king and fight against barbarians. determination, so... alone decided to go on a personal expedition.”
Qi Hou said lightly, his words fell down, not to mention the senior officials, even Tong Shang was a little confused, and suddenly raised his head to look at Qi Hou.
Qi Hou had an impassioned expression on his face. He was probably addicted to acting, and he was showing off his acting skills. Wu Jiu almost laughed when he saw it.
Ta Shang raised his head and glanced at Qi Hou, then quickly lowered his head and frowned, Wu Jiu knew that after Qi Hou's furious throwing away, Ta Shang would probably be convinced, not only convinced, but also Time to go out and deliver a letter.
The Marquis of Qi wanted to conquer in person, which frightened many ministers. Some senior officials knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, no! It's really dangerous! Those southern barbarians in Chu State are cunning and cunning. I'm afraid there will be some mistakes that will hurt you. Come on!"
Qi Hou said: "No need to say much, I have made up my mind. After all, the emperor has personally issued an edict. This is the best time for us to respect the king and fight against the barbarians. If we can get the approval of the emperor, it will be easy to dominate the countries in the future. "
Qi Hou paused for a moment, then said: "If you want to discuss it, you can discuss this orphan expedition. Who will you bring with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Jiu immediately said: "Your Majesty, Jiu wishes to ask for your life."
As Wu Jiu said, Zhao Hu and Dong Guo Ya also stood up, after all, everyone had rehearsed well, so it was called a coherent effort.
In this way, so many people agreed with the Marquis of Qi's personal conquest, and they all pleaded for orders, and the other scholar-bureaucrats had nothing to say, after all, even Wu Jiu agreed with the personal conquest.
And because Marquis Qi used the Son of Heaven as an excuse, Guo Yizhong also agreed to conquest himself, so the direction of the court was determined.
Qihou said: "Okay, let's make it like this. The officials in charge will prepare as soon as possible. Sima will order troops, and Sima will prepare food and grass. Sixing will talk to the emperor and Zheng Guo, and he will leave in a few days to rescue Zheng personally." country!"
All the people who were named stood up, cupped their hands and said, "Yes!"
Marquis Qi has made up his mind. Although many people are worried, there is nothing he can do. The dispatch of troops is all on the schedule, and they are in a hurry. After all, Chu has sent troops for a long time.
Wu Jiao wasn't worried, after all they had already made all the arrangements, and the only thing left was to catch the turtle in the urn.
This trip to Tan Country will take five or six days, so Wu Jiao is going to make some convenient snacks, which can be eaten in the car.
Ziqing and Yan'e packed the clothes that Wu Jiao was going to bring, and Wu Jiu took Tang Wu to the dining room.
The dining room was not far from the rear palace gate, when Wu Jiu and Tang Wu walked over, they happened to see Tong Shang coming in through the rear palace gate, looking very hurried, he must have just left the palace.
Tong Shang walked in, unexpectedly collided with Wu Jiao, his mental quality was quite good, his face didn't change color, he cupped his hands and said, "Da Situ."
Wu Jiu smiled, thinking that he must have reported the letter, but he pretended not to understand, and said with a smile, "Dr. You have worked hard, and you went to see the canal again?"
Ta Shang cupped his hands and said, "That's right, Ta Shang Fang came back from the canal."
Wu Jiu asked again, "What happened to the canal?"
Tong Shang said: "The canals are well built, and we will see the results after the spring rains and the floods."
Wu Jiao nodded and said: "Doctor Yu is a capable person in water conservancy. He has solved the urgent need of Qi State. He is really a talent. Your majesty will definitely reward you a lot. Then Congratulations to Doctor Yu in advance. Congratulations to Doctor You." High promotion is just around the corner.”
He Shang was not happy at all when he heard Wu Jiu's words. Although everyone likes to get promoted and get rich, he still knows his identity. Retired?Not to mention getting promoted and getting rich.
Tong Shang just said: "Thank you, Da Situ Jiyan."
Wu Jiu said, "Then...Jiao will not delay Doctor Xi."
Shang Shang cupped his hands and said, "Situ, please."
Wu Jiu nodded, bowed his hands to him, and led Tang Wu to the dining room.
Tang Wu looked back at the back of Tong Shang's hastily leaving, the back of Tong Shang was very indifferent, revealing a sense of lifelessness.
Tang Wu looked a little dazed, for a moment he even forgot to go forward, Wu Jiao looked back and saw Tang Wu was in a daze, so he simply backed away and stood beside Tang Wu.
Wu Jiu didn't bother him from his trance, he just said softly: "Tang'er, what do you think about the doctor's matter?"
Wu Tang woke up suddenly when he heard Wu Jiao's words, and then realized that he had been absent-minded for a long time, and glanced at Wu Jiao, but there was no disturbance in Wu Jiao's eyes.
Only then did Tang Wu lower his head, and said softly, "Tang'er is just a junior minister, and she doesn't have any opinions."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "You are such an opinionated person, how can you not have an opinion?"
Tang Wu's eyes were lowered, and he said in a sigh-like tone: "Tang'er only hopes that he has never met Young Master, or Mr. Yu, or...he died in Zheng Guo ten years ago. at the gate of the city..."
Wu Jiu knew that Tang Wu was in a dilemma, because in Tang Wu's eyes, Wu Jiu was a benefactor. Wu Jiu rescued him from his son Peng Sheng and treated Tang Wu very well, while Tong Shang was also a benefactor. Qian Shangshang spent all his money to save Tang Wu's life, and asked the doctor to teach Tang Wu medicine skills. Tang Wu also relied on this medical skill to survive until today.
Speaking of which, Wu Jiu and Tong Shang are both Tang Wu's benefactors, and Tang Wu said: "Mr. Tong is like Tang Er, both are repaying their favor, but it's a pity... each is their own master."
Wu Jiu also sighed, and said, "Everyone is the master..."
Indeed, each is the master. In this era, people born in different countries have different fates, not to mention that Yi Shang is actually a doctor of the Chu State, and the Chu State and the Zhou Dynasty are still separate countries.
Wu Jiu admired Tong Shang's talent, vigorous and resolute style, and ruthless tactics. These are the standard qualities that a politician and a manager should possess, but Tang Wu said well, each is his master.
Tang Wu said again: "Tang'er is just begging Da Situ, can you... leave Mr. Tong's whole body."
Wu Jiu lowered his head to see Tang Wu's expression, Tang Wu didn't have any expression, his face was indifferent, like a pool of stagnant water, his black eyes were deep, he couldn't see to the end, like a lifeless prison.
Wu Jiu sighed and said, "If Mr. Tou finds his way back after going astray, it will not be this far."
But Tang Wu shook his head and said: "Tang'er understands Mr. Tau's character. Although ten years have passed, Mr. Tau has not changed. His loyalty has been handed over to Chu State, and now all that is left is death."
Hearing what Tang Wu said, Wu Jiu shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's talk about it."
The two of them talked, then went to the dining room again, in order to have something to eat on the way, so Wu Jiao prepared to make some delicious food.
Qihou liked the soup dumplings last time, but they are not suitable for eating on the road, as they tend to run out of soup, and last time Qihou ate [-] of them in one go, if he eats them all the way, Wu Jiu will not be exhausted ?I have to pack the buns and my hands are cramping.
So Wu Jiao thought about it, and prepared to make big diced meat buns, the size of a plate as big as his face, so that one meal would be enough for a meal!
Wu Jiu thought about this, and thought of Qihou's appetite like a bull, and thought that Qihou's two meals would be enough?
Wu Jiu thought it was good, so he started to make big diced meat buns, and soon he made a lot of them. While steaming the buns, he thought about it again. They might have to camp in the wild along the way, and they could only eat some of the stuff they brought with them. Food and vegetables must not be brought, as they tend to wilt and are not fresh.
Wu Jiu’s eyes lit up. The last time I made skewers for everyone, it seemed that everyone liked it. Why don’t you just skewer some skewers, keep them chilled, and take a spare. At night, everyone sits around the campfire and cooks skewers by yourself , isn't it interesting?
Wu Jiu thought so, so he asked someone to get a wooden stick, and then began to cut the meat, and seasoned the meat. The meat that was easy to get old was processed and tenderized, and then skewered on the wooden stick.
After a while, Wu Jiao made a lot of skewers, including pork belly, tender lamb, spicy beef, honey sauce chicken wings, honey sauce ribs, chicken heart and chicken gizzards, chicken crispy bones, big lamb waist, grilled prawns, grilled squid, etc. wait.
After making them, Wu Jiu called Ling Ren again, got some ice cubes, and refrigerated all these skewers, ready to take them on the road and bake them.
Soon the army is about to set off, the army is majestic, with tens of thousands of troops, the Marquis of Qi personally marched, it is simply imposing, the final candidates are Da Situ Wujiu, the Chinese doctor Zhaohu Dongguoya, and the hydraulic officials匽尚.
Naturally, they have to take Tong Shang with them. After all, they still have to act for Tong Shang to make the final foreshadowing. Of course, Qihou's excuse for bringing Tong Shang is not to let him assist in the war, but to take Tong Shang to The study of water power just happened to allow Tong Shang to browse the mountains and rivers of Qi State.
The army was ready and set off that day. They said they were going to fight, but in fact they were going to visit the mountains and rivers to tease Tan Guo.
Qihou still remembers the molestation of the old man Tan Guo when he was attending the funeral for the late king. At that time, the old man molested Qihou and said that he likes strong ones, etc. Qihou is a person who holds grudges. However, there are very few men who molested Qihou, at most they were just winked at by women, so Qihou's memory is very deep, and this time he wanted to go to the ideal.
Qi Hou and Wu Jiu sat in the black car, and the black car drove out of Linzi city, the roads were full of people and officials who were sending them off.
Wu Jiu was always motion sick, and this time he was traveling a long distance, so he wanted to sleep after getting in the car. Seeing that Wu Jiu was sleepy, Qi Hou patted his leg quickly and said, "Come on, second brother, lie down."
Seeing how attentive Qihou was, Wu Jiao didn't refuse, and just lay on his lap. Although his muscles were a little stiff, he didn't pick and choose if he had a pillow.
Wu Jiao was lying on Qihou's lap. Although it was already spring, it was still cold. Qihou took off his cloak and put it on Wu Jiao's body. He also gently patted Wu Jiao, coaxing Wu Jiao to sleep.
Wu Jiu felt that Qi Hou was patting himself like this, just like his mother patting him when he was a child. Qi Hou should know that Wu Jiu always regarded himself as a mother and looked for maternal love in himself. He really didn't know whether to cry or laugh...
Wu Jiu soon fell asleep and had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, the carriage was dark and it was already dark.
As soon as Wu Jiu opened his eyes, he saw Qi Hou, but Wu Jiu didn't see Qi Hou's face, because Qi Hou held a big bun in front of his face!
Qi Hou even took advantage of Wu Jiao's sleep to steal a big bun, which was made by Wu Jiu to be as big as a face plate. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is a Big Mac. He even bit off two-thirds of the big bun, and then took another bite, directly finishing a big bun.
Qi Hou ate the big bun in his hand, but he didn't realize that Wu Jiu had woken up, so he took out another big bun from the small cabinet next to him, and ate it in three mouthfuls.
Wu Jiao was terrified when he saw it for a moment, and felt that Qihou was definitely reincarnated from a starving ghost. Eating a bun was like a tiger snatching food. When Wu Jiao was stunned, Qihou had already killed three big buns.
Wu Jiu got up quickly, Qihou just ate the big bun, wanted to cover it up, swallowed the bun quickly, and put his oily hands behind his back.
Wu Jiao hastily touched his hair, the buns were made of diced meat, not pure lean meat, after all the stuffing of the buns is delicious only when the oil comes out, Wu Jiao was afraid that when Qi Hou ate the buns, the oil would leak on his head superior.
Seeing Qihou with his hands behind his back, Wu Jiu almost choked, and angrily threw a handkerchief on him, saying, "Wipe it quickly, don't rub it on your clothes."
Qihou smiled, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands, Wu Jiao felt as if he had raised a big dog, and it was a big dog that could eat.
Qihou said with a smile: "It's all the fault of the second brother, who made the buns so delicious and put them in the car."
Wu Jiao said to himself, oh, it turned out to be his own fault, you can't put food in the car, otherwise Qi Hou's dog's nose will smell it.
While Qihou was wiping his hands, Wu Jiao checked the cabinet, and when he opened it, he was dumbfounded. There were only the last five of the big pile of steamed buns that were as big as face plates!
Wu Jiao made a lot of them, there were at least a dozen of them. Wu Jiao thought that Qi Hou would only eat two for a meal, but ended up eating five or six at once. Wu Jiao stared at the empty cabinet in shock, then at Qi Hou Hou's stomach couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it. Has Qihou's stomach become a watermelon?
Wu Jiu stretched out his hand, but Qihou's abdomen was still deflated and stiff. Qihou has a hot body, so he wore less clothes after spring, and he could still feel the smoothness of his muscles through his clothes.
Wu Jiao is really strange, Qi Hou is definitely a heartless person, otherwise, after eating so much, why would it all go down the back of his spine?
Qihou didn't expect Wu Jiao to "tick" himself, grabbed Wu Jiu, "Boom!" and pushed him into the car with a sound, with an "evil" expression on his face, he said in a hoarse voice: "Second brother , is it easy to touch?"
As he said, he lowered his head and was about to kiss Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu smelled a strong smell of steamed stuffed buns, and quickly turned his head away in disgust, Qi Hou's "fragrant kiss" fell through.
Wu Jiu said with disgust, "Go and rinse your mouth first."
Qi Hou was pushed up pitifully and said, "Second Brother, why do you always dislike Gu."
Wu Jiao said indifferently: "No, how dare Jiu despise Jun Shang, it's just that he has a big appetite and the taste of steamed stuffed buns in his mouth."
Qihou was even more pitiful, and said, "Don't you despise Gu?"
As he said, he refused to rinse his mouth if he insisted on kissing Wu Jiu's lips. Wu Jiu was kissed on his lips, but it didn't penetrate deeply, but he also smelled a smell of steamed stuffed buns, and his face turned dark immediately. Qi Hou hurriedly He called to stop, and then everyone saw Jun Shang burning his ass, and jumped out of the car in a hurry, as if he had taken advantage of something, with a smiling expression on his face.
Everyone stared blankly at Qihou, and then Qihou coughed, put on an inscrutable look, and said, "It's getting late, let's set up camp."
Everyone responded quickly, but they still don't know why Qihou ordered to set up camp and laughed so... so unbearably?
Immediately, everyone saw that Wu Jiao also got off the car, Wu Jiao stepped down, it was dark, or Wu Jiu's face was dark, but it was very dark, as if he had been tanned by the scorching sun.
Wu Jiu got out of the car and immediately said, "Ziqing, I want to rinse my mouth."
Ziqing felt helpless at once, after all he was an old man beside Wu Jiu, and instantly understood what was going on, if this matter was told to listen, no one else would believe it.
It was getting dark, and everyone hurriedly set up camp and lit a bonfire. Qi Hou knew that Wu Jiao had prepared skewers, so he specially found a place to sleep in the wild at night. It didn't look like going to war, it was clearly a spring outing!
Everyone lit up the bonfire, and Wu Jiao ordered people to bring over the skewers. It was the beginning of spring. The temperature difference between morning and evening was a bit big, and the weather was still very cold. As soon as the sun went down, he felt it. Shaking in his cloak, he sat by the fire and warmed his hands.
Zhaohu tidied up his things, but it was too cold. He was also afraid of the cold, so he hurried to the campfire and said, "My lord, you are cold too, so let's get closer."
Qi Hou rinsed his mouth, turned his head and disappeared Wu Jiu, walked out of the tent and saw that Wu Jiao and Zhao Hu were sitting next to the campfire, the two of them were warming up, not only warming up, but also leaning against each other, looking quite intimate , Zhao Hu put his arms around Wu Jiu's shoulders, as if he wanted to hold Wu Jiu in his arms.
Qihou's jealousy rose instantly, perhaps because the boiling point of sour vinegar was too low, the sour vinegar in Qihou's heart boiled quickly, it was like a raging fire, so he hurried over with big strides.
Wu Jiu was still leaning against Zhao Hu to keep warm, but Qi Hou grabbed him, Wu Jiu was startled, Qi Hou was like talking nonsense again, and hugged Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiao leaped into the air and struggled for a while, but Qi Hou held him firmly, so he didn't let Wu Jiao go down to the ground, and said with a wicked face, "Second brother, I'm lonely, now I'm going to punish you." you."
Zhao Hu was also taken aback, he was dumbfounded, staring at Qihou and Wu Jiao, Wu Jiu's face turned red all of a sudden, he was ashamed.
When everyone heard this, they all showed surprise eyes. This method is indeed good. If Qihou is willing to drive himself to conquer, the King of Chu will definitely join forces with Tan Guo to cheat Qihou. Hanging dead in the border of Tan State can definitely provide a perfect cover for Song State.
However, this approach sounds a bit dangerous.
Qi Hou didn't seem to take it very seriously, he just smiled and said lightly: "Okay, listen to the second brother."
That tone is full of pampering...
Only Wu Jiu could see that when Qi Hou was talking full of favor, his eyes were already on the plate of spicy clams, and he couldn't help himself, as if he was ready to destroy the plate of clams at any time.
Although everyone felt that it was dangerous, no one seemed to be able to refute it, because apart from this method, everyone could not think of any other way to make the king of Chu not suspicious. If he wanted to cover Song, he must depend on Qihou.
Wu Jiu also said: "In fact, you don't have to worry about the problems of Tan State. The most important issue right now is that once Chu State sends troops, the Lu State, Ju State, and the remnants of Sui State, which are hostile to our country, are likely to be killed. Bewitched by Chu, they sent troops to attack Qi. These countries are all in the south of our country. If they send troops together, even if Qi is strong, it will not be able to withstand repeated attacks. Please prepare early.”
Wu Jiu had already set a trap for Shang Shang before, deliberately telling him that the south of Qi State was empty, and with that fake picture of soldiers and horses, in this way, the King of Chu was so smart that he would definitely unite with the south of Qi State The state went to attack Qi State, so that Qi State could not rescue Zheng State.
Qi Hou pondered for a while, although he was pondering, but he didn't slow down his hand, but dragged the plate of spicy clams over, holding the chopsticks in one hand, and pressing the clams with the other hand, "Ka Ka" two times With a sound, the clam was disassembled, and the clam meat was thrown into the mouth, and then the movement was repeated.
Wu Jiu's scalp felt numb when he looked at it, and Qi Hou said at this time: "This is easy to handle, Doctor Cao, after the orphan's conquest, you can take the secret order of the orphan and go to the king of the state of Lu, and ask the king of the state of Lu to take care of the situation of the state of Lu." If you support me in the south of the Qi Kingdom, you will tell the monarch of the Kingdom of Zhu that if the matter is completed, the monarch of the Kingdom of Zhu will be a hero. At that time, I will report to the emperor, ask the emperor to be the master, and canonize the monarch of the Kingdom of Zhu as a marquis."
Cao GUI quickly said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
This is indeed a good idea, thinking that only Chu will unite with other countries?Qi State will naturally unite with other countries, and Yifu, the king of Zhu State, is a sensible person. For the development of Lu State, the king of Qi State will definitely unite with Qi State, so that he can get the canonization of the Son of Zhou and leave Lu control of a dependent state.
Wu Jiu nodded and said: "This is a good idea. Although the state of Zhu is not big, it has recuperated all these years and its military strength is very strong. If the state of Lu is holding back the state of Lu, if the state of Lu cannot send troops, the king of the state of Ju will be defeated." He is also a seriously suspicious person, so he will definitely hesitate."
Qihou nodded, and said: "At that time, I will write a letter alone, so that Da Sima can control the remnants of Suiguo, Zhou Fu and Su'er."
As he spoke, Shi Su and Zhou Fu hurriedly offered their hands and said, "Your Majesty."
Qihou said: "When you two left Linzi City alone, you stayed in the country and moved your troops to the south in case of emergency."
Shi Su and Zhou Fu immediately clasped their fists together and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Qihou turned to Zhanxiong again and said, "Fourth brother, how about you? We have finished eating tonight, and we will set off early tomorrow morning before dawn. We will sneak out of Linzi City, first go to the State of Song to explain the situation to Duke Song, and ask him to send troops to rescue him." Zheng."
When Zhanxiong heard it, he didn't think it was a hard job. After all, Zhanxiong hadn't seen Song Gongyu for several months. Although he said that Song Gong would come to the wedding of Sun Xipeng, the boss of the company, but the wedding is still a long time away. , so Zhanxiong got lovesickness, and now let him go to the Song Dynasty, although the conditions were difficult and he secretly went to the Song Dynasty, and it was not a mission, but Zhanxiong was also very happy.
Zhanxiong immediately said: "Yes, third brother, don't worry, just leave it to me!"
Qihou said with a smile again: "In this way, the affairs of state affairs will be handed over to the two princes and the two supervisors. The second elder brother, Master Zhao and Master Dongguo will accompany you. Let's... wait for the turtle to be caught."
Qi Hou was poking clams and giving orders, and he seemed to be in order. After everyone listened, they looked down and saw that the big plate of spicy clams had been eaten up, and the others hurriedly started peeling clams.
Wu Jiao doesn’t like peeling clams, because he is a clean freak. Although it smells delicious when eaten, his hands will inevitably be fishy after eating, and he has to wash it many times, so Wu Jiao is too lazy to peel clams and eat them. .
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother, do you eat? It's very delicious. Can you peel two for me?"
As Qihou said, he flicked the chopsticks skillfully, and the clam meat fell off immediately, and then he held it with the chopsticks and sent it to Wu Jiu's mouth.
The chopsticks belonged to Marquis Qi, so of course Marquis Qi had just put them in his mouth. If Wu Jiao had followed his previous attitude, the chopsticks and chopsticks stained with Marquis Qi's saliva would definitely be disgusted by Wu Jiu, but now I don't feel so disgusted. , but some are not too embarrassed, I always feel that it is better to use serving chopsticks...
Here, Qi Hou picked clams for Wu Jiao, and everyone saw that there was no food left, so they quickly lowered their heads and ate them. They had already eaten all the skewers before, because there were too many heads, so Wu Jiao could only do it. If it is divided evenly, everyone will eat less at once, and everyone is still unsatisfied, so all eyes are on the spicy clams.
Zhanxiong directly grabbed a handful of clams and began to shell them. He was not like Qihou. Although he ate ferociously, his movements were graceful. Zhanxiong ate ferociously, and his movements were also ferocious.
Zhan Huo, who was next to him, saw it and felt that although his brother had grown up and become tall and burly, he was still troublesome, so he quickly gave him a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it quickly, don't drip it on your clothes." superior."
Zhanxiong was happy eating, so he didn't have time to wipe it off, so he responded, "Brother, it's delicious, eat it quickly, or there will be no more."
The appearance of Zhanxiong made Zang Chen beside him laugh. After all, Zhanxiong was a mercenary of nine thousand, which made the nobles of all countries fearful. He was a well-known Bandit Zhi, but now, this famous Bandit Zhi seems like a big child.
Zang Chen has a paralyzed face, and he doesn't smile on weekdays, but now that he smiled, Zhan Xiong and Zhan Huo raised their heads to look at him in surprise, almost showing Zang Chen the hair.
Over there, Zhaohu saw Zhanxiong eating fiercely, so he quickly reached out to peel the shells, but Zhaohu was a little clumsy, he couldn't peel the shells well, not only the shells were not good, but the clams were all rotten when he pulled them out. Use your teeth to bite.
Seeing Zhaohu's clumsiness, Zhanxiong laughed and said, "Doctor Zhong, you can't peel the shell like this, it's all rotten, and if you peel one, I'll eat three!"
Zhanxiong said that Zhaohu was even more anxious, his face flushed red, but he still couldn't peel it off well, Zhaohu couldn't do it in anger, Zhanhuo saw that his brother was bullying Zhaohu, and quickly said, "Zhanxiong."
Zhao Hu was in a hurry, but he didn't eat much. Seeing that the plate had bottomed out, he still couldn't finish it. At this time, Dong Guoya next to him suddenly pushed his plate over. Everyone saw, good guy, it turned out that Dong Guoya had been silent all the time. He didn't speak, but he was secretly peeling clams. He peeled a large plate of clams, piled up like a hill.
Dong Guoya pushed the plate to Zhaohu, and Zhaohu's eyes lit up in an instant, and directed Dongguoya to pour a spoonful of spicy soup on the clam meat, so that it was quite tasty and delicious when eaten with the soup. .
Seeing that the clams were wiped out, Qi Hou hurriedly went to eat grilled fish again. Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched as he watched a group of starving ghosts eat up a large table of food.
Everyone finished eating, because the entrance was closed, so everyone stayed in the palace for the night, while Zhanxiong was getting ready, and he was ready to go on the road before dawn, and hurried to the Song Kingdom.
Qi Hou ate to his heart's content, and lay down on the couch after taking a bath. Wu Jiu just took a bath at this time, and Qi Hou looked at Wu Jiu with a smile on his face.
Wu Zheng was taking a bath, he felt itchy on his neck, a strand of hair fell from it, brushing the side of Wu Jiu's neck, no wonder it was itchy.
Wu Jiao turned his head and saw that it was Qi Hou who came over. Qi Hou lowered his head, put his hands on the edge of the tub, kissed Wu Jiu lightly on the lips, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "Second Brother, Shall I wash it for you?"
Wu Jiao saw that Qi Hou's eyes were deep and his heart beat wildly twice. I don't know if it was because of the hot water, but his steaming face felt unnatural. Qi Hou immediately lowered his head, kissed Wu Jiu's forehead, and then slowly Sliding down, he took Wu Jiu's lips in his mouth again, deepening the kiss.
Qi Hou felt that the atmosphere was really good, and Wu Jiu was taking a bath, so the welfare was good, Wu Jiu didn't resist, and the timing was good, so he prepared to seize the right time, place and people to further attack Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiao felt that he had no strength, he tilted his head back and leaned against the edge of the bathtub, but at this moment, Wu Jiao smelled a very strong fishy smell!
Naturally, it was the smell from Qihou's hands, because Qihou was rushing to eat clams just now, so the fishy smell from his hands, Wu Jiao woke up immediately when he smelled the smell, and hurriedly pushed Qihou's hands away , Said: "Your Majesty, your hands are too fishy."
Qihou looked at Wu Jiu's obsessed face just now, and then changed it to disgust. He suddenly felt that his self-esteem was hit, and his heart was broken into scum. Seeing that Wu Jiao was about to get up and dry himself, he hurriedly said: "Second brother , Is it okay to wash your hands alone? Wait a while alone?"
Wu Jiao was very helpless when he saw Qihou's shameless face, but in fact, it was useless for Qihou to wash his hands, because he peeled too many shells, so his hands were always fishy. When going to bed at night, Wu Jiao would not let Qihou touch his Own.
Qi Hou shrank in the corner like a little daughter-in-law, Wu Jiu didn't even cover him with a quilt, Qi Hou hugged his own quilt pitifully, almost biting the corner of the quilt.
Before dawn, Zhan Xiong hurried out of the city, galloping all the way to the Song Kingdom, preparing to report the news, and the others also began to prepare.
But Wu Jiu went back to the Political Affairs Hall and continued to sit in the township, nothing special happened. Not long after that, Marquis Qi received letters from Zheng Guo and Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi successively.
Zheng Guo’s letter is naturally asking for help. In fact, Zheng Guo also wants to ask for help from other countries, but other countries dare not join Chu. When in power, the strategy used is to make friends with distant countries, that is, to make friends with distant countries. Because of the distance, their interests will not conflict greatly, and to attack countries that are closer. Land conflict issues.
But when he came to the king of Chu Xiongfei, Xiongfei was no longer satisfied with long-distance friendship and short-term attack. After all, his father had laid a solid foundation for his national strength. arrive.
In this way, the countries next to Chu State did not dare to save Zheng State, for fear of being destroyed like Deng State and Shen State.Deng Guo is the country of Xiong Pei's mother, and Shen Guo is the country of Xiong Pei's teacher. Neither of these two countries is immune, let alone other countries that have nothing to do with each other.
And the countries far away were also frightened by King Chu's military strength. No one could help Zheng Guo. , Sent to Linzi City, implored Qi Hou to send troops to rescue Zheng Guo.
Ji Zhongben was dying of illness. After all, he was too old and had been a powerful minister for so many years. However, because of the menacing attack of Chu State, Ji Zhong was so frightened that he returned to the light.
Jizhong said in the letter that his daughter is the wife of Qihou Yizi, so he and Qihou are also in-laws, and Zheng Guo and Qi are also in-laws. Although many unpleasant things happened before, Zheng Guo needs it now. Rescue, facing the disaster of extinction, if Zheng State is destroyed, then the land of China will become a power storage point for the southern barbarians, a front-line arsenal, and in this way, Qi State will also be threatened by Chu State.
Wu Jiu read Ji Zhong's letter, Ji Zhong is worthy of being an old minister, he analyzed it logically, fearing that Qi Hou didn't understand the truth, as if he didn't send troops to rescue him, and even got married to Qi Hou.
After Zheng Guo's letter came, it was a matter of front and back, and Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi's letter also came, but this time it was not a letter, but an edict.
Order Qihou to send troops quickly to rescue Zheng Guo, in order to promote the concept of respecting the king and fighting barbarians.
The Marquis of Qi quickly convened a temporary court meeting, and all the officials heard that the emperor's edict came down, and because it was an edict, they were in a hurry.
Doctors Qing entered the palace one after another, and walked quickly to the Lu bedroom. Everyone quickly entered the main hall. After Wu Jiu entered, many people surrounded him, wanting to ask Wu Jiu about his attitude.
After all, now who doesn't know that Wu Jiu is a favorite?Wu Jiu's attitude is likely to be that of Marquis Qi's. Everyone wants to feel it first, so that when Marquis Qi comes out in a while, he won't be caught blind, and he won't flatter a horse's ass.
But before Wu Jiu made a statement, Marquis Qi had already come out, sat on the table, and said: "You don't need to salute, just sit down."
Everyone hurriedly sat down, and Qi Hou asked the eunuch to read out the imperial edict of Zhou Tianzi, Qi Hou began to show off his acting skills again, pretending to be embarrassed and said: "What do you think about this matter?"
When he said this, everyone looked at me and looked at you, but Gao Xi was the first to stand up and said: "Gao Xi thought that since the emperor has issued an edict, the emperor must obey it!"
Qihou knew that Gao Xi could talk, so he followed his words and said, "Gu also thinks so."
Marquis Qi had already stated his position, and the others quickly followed Marquis Qi's wishes, and more than [-]% of them agreed to send troops.
At this time, Wu Jiu stood up again and performed according to the script rehearsed in advance, saying: "Your Majesty, it is inevitable to send troops, but Qi State is far away from Zheng State. Unless we use Tan State, our soldiers and horses will be difficult to rescue." , By the time we detour into the state of Zheng, I am afraid that the state of Zheng has become the territory of the state of Chu."
When he said this, everyone nodded, and Gao Xi cupped his hands again and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Xi can ask for orders to bribe and lobby Tan Guo. Tan Guogong is now seriously ill, and the prince of Tan Guo is a greedy person. Gao Xi is sure to persuade you Prince Tan Guo, please borrow the way to Qi Guo with me."
Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu were supposed to act for Ta Shang, and Gao Xi asked for orders in person, and the doctor of Jian Guo went to bribe the Crown Prince of Tan Guo, so Ta Shang would definitely believe it.
Qi Hou said with a smile: "Gaozi is a loyal minister, so I have to thank Gaozi."
Gao Xi quickly said: "Your Majesty is serious, sharing your worries is what Gao Xi should do."
Qihou said again: "There is no need to delay, Chu State has sent troops, and Qi State has no time to prepare, so Gao Zi will go now."
"Yes!"
Gao Xi didn't know that Qi Hou's attempt to save Zheng Guo was false, and he turned around and left immediately with an agitated expression on his face.
Wu Jiao observed Ta Shang's expression secretly. Hi Shang lowered his head. Although he was listening, his expression was calm. Wu Jiao knew that Ta Shang was very smart. Maybe Ta Shang was thinking now that Marquis Qi asked Gao Xi to bribe Tan Guo. , Is it a trap? After all, I was already a little exposed before.
Wu Jiu saw Dao Shang's hesitation, and knew that he would not be so gullible, so he raised his head and gave Qi Hou a wink.
When Qihou saw it, he coughed and said: "Now Zheng is in trouble, and the emperor has issued an edict again, ordering Qi to send troops to rescue quickly. Chu is so deceptive because it sees that there is no one in our Zhou Dynasty. It is really a deception." There are too many people. Now that we send troops from Qi State, we want to show off to those southern barbarians from Chu State. On the one hand, it is to inspire the army, and on the other hand, it is also to express respect for the emperor, and to promote our Qi State to respect the king and fight against barbarians. determination, so... alone decided to go on a personal expedition.”
Qi Hou said lightly, his words fell down, not to mention the senior officials, even Tong Shang was a little confused, and suddenly raised his head to look at Qi Hou.
Qi Hou had an impassioned expression on his face. He was probably addicted to acting, and he was showing off his acting skills. Wu Jiu almost laughed when he saw it.
Ta Shang raised his head and glanced at Qi Hou, then quickly lowered his head and frowned, Wu Jiu knew that after Qi Hou's furious throwing away, Ta Shang would probably be convinced, not only convinced, but also Time to go out and deliver a letter.
The Marquis of Qi wanted to conquer in person, which frightened many ministers. Some senior officials knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, no! It's really dangerous! Those southern barbarians in Chu State are cunning and cunning. I'm afraid there will be some mistakes that will hurt you. Come on!"
Qi Hou said: "No need to say much, I have made up my mind. After all, the emperor has personally issued an edict. This is the best time for us to respect the king and fight against the barbarians. If we can get the approval of the emperor, it will be easy to dominate the countries in the future. "
Qi Hou paused for a moment, then said: "If you want to discuss it, you can discuss this orphan expedition. Who will you bring with you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Jiu immediately said: "Your Majesty, Jiu wishes to ask for your life."
As Wu Jiu said, Zhao Hu and Dong Guo Ya also stood up, after all, everyone had rehearsed well, so it was called a coherent effort.
In this way, so many people agreed with the Marquis of Qi's personal conquest, and they all pleaded for orders, and the other scholar-bureaucrats had nothing to say, after all, even Wu Jiu agreed with the personal conquest.
And because Marquis Qi used the Son of Heaven as an excuse, Guo Yizhong also agreed to conquest himself, so the direction of the court was determined.
Qihou said: "Okay, let's make it like this. The officials in charge will prepare as soon as possible. Sima will order troops, and Sima will prepare food and grass. Sixing will talk to the emperor and Zheng Guo, and he will leave in a few days to rescue Zheng personally." country!"
All the people who were named stood up, cupped their hands and said, "Yes!"
Marquis Qi has made up his mind. Although many people are worried, there is nothing he can do. The dispatch of troops is all on the schedule, and they are in a hurry. After all, Chu has sent troops for a long time.
Wu Jiao wasn't worried, after all they had already made all the arrangements, and the only thing left was to catch the turtle in the urn.
This trip to Tan Country will take five or six days, so Wu Jiao is going to make some convenient snacks, which can be eaten in the car.
Ziqing and Yan'e packed the clothes that Wu Jiao was going to bring, and Wu Jiu took Tang Wu to the dining room.
The dining room was not far from the rear palace gate, when Wu Jiu and Tang Wu walked over, they happened to see Tong Shang coming in through the rear palace gate, looking very hurried, he must have just left the palace.
Tong Shang walked in, unexpectedly collided with Wu Jiao, his mental quality was quite good, his face didn't change color, he cupped his hands and said, "Da Situ."
Wu Jiu smiled, thinking that he must have reported the letter, but he pretended not to understand, and said with a smile, "Dr. You have worked hard, and you went to see the canal again?"
Ta Shang cupped his hands and said, "That's right, Ta Shang Fang came back from the canal."
Wu Jiu asked again, "What happened to the canal?"
Tong Shang said: "The canals are well built, and we will see the results after the spring rains and the floods."
Wu Jiao nodded and said: "Doctor Yu is a capable person in water conservancy. He has solved the urgent need of Qi State. He is really a talent. Your majesty will definitely reward you a lot. Then Congratulations to Doctor Yu in advance. Congratulations to Doctor You." High promotion is just around the corner.”
He Shang was not happy at all when he heard Wu Jiu's words. Although everyone likes to get promoted and get rich, he still knows his identity. Retired?Not to mention getting promoted and getting rich.
Tong Shang just said: "Thank you, Da Situ Jiyan."
Wu Jiu said, "Then...Jiao will not delay Doctor Xi."
Shang Shang cupped his hands and said, "Situ, please."
Wu Jiu nodded, bowed his hands to him, and led Tang Wu to the dining room.
Tang Wu looked back at the back of Tong Shang's hastily leaving, the back of Tong Shang was very indifferent, revealing a sense of lifelessness.
Tang Wu looked a little dazed, for a moment he even forgot to go forward, Wu Jiao looked back and saw Tang Wu was in a daze, so he simply backed away and stood beside Tang Wu.
Wu Jiu didn't bother him from his trance, he just said softly: "Tang'er, what do you think about the doctor's matter?"
Wu Tang woke up suddenly when he heard Wu Jiao's words, and then realized that he had been absent-minded for a long time, and glanced at Wu Jiao, but there was no disturbance in Wu Jiao's eyes.
Only then did Tang Wu lower his head, and said softly, "Tang'er is just a junior minister, and she doesn't have any opinions."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "You are such an opinionated person, how can you not have an opinion?"
Tang Wu's eyes were lowered, and he said in a sigh-like tone: "Tang'er only hopes that he has never met Young Master, or Mr. Yu, or...he died in Zheng Guo ten years ago. at the gate of the city..."
Wu Jiu knew that Tang Wu was in a dilemma, because in Tang Wu's eyes, Wu Jiu was a benefactor. Wu Jiu rescued him from his son Peng Sheng and treated Tang Wu very well, while Tong Shang was also a benefactor. Qian Shangshang spent all his money to save Tang Wu's life, and asked the doctor to teach Tang Wu medicine skills. Tang Wu also relied on this medical skill to survive until today.
Speaking of which, Wu Jiu and Tong Shang are both Tang Wu's benefactors, and Tang Wu said: "Mr. Tong is like Tang Er, both are repaying their favor, but it's a pity... each is their own master."
Wu Jiu also sighed, and said, "Everyone is the master..."
Indeed, each is the master. In this era, people born in different countries have different fates, not to mention that Yi Shang is actually a doctor of the Chu State, and the Chu State and the Zhou Dynasty are still separate countries.
Wu Jiu admired Tong Shang's talent, vigorous and resolute style, and ruthless tactics. These are the standard qualities that a politician and a manager should possess, but Tang Wu said well, each is his master.
Tang Wu said again: "Tang'er is just begging Da Situ, can you... leave Mr. Tong's whole body."
Wu Jiu lowered his head to see Tang Wu's expression, Tang Wu didn't have any expression, his face was indifferent, like a pool of stagnant water, his black eyes were deep, he couldn't see to the end, like a lifeless prison.
Wu Jiu sighed and said, "If Mr. Tou finds his way back after going astray, it will not be this far."
But Tang Wu shook his head and said: "Tang'er understands Mr. Tau's character. Although ten years have passed, Mr. Tau has not changed. His loyalty has been handed over to Chu State, and now all that is left is death."
Hearing what Tang Wu said, Wu Jiu shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's talk about it."
The two of them talked, then went to the dining room again, in order to have something to eat on the way, so Wu Jiao prepared to make some delicious food.
Qihou liked the soup dumplings last time, but they are not suitable for eating on the road, as they tend to run out of soup, and last time Qihou ate [-] of them in one go, if he eats them all the way, Wu Jiu will not be exhausted ?I have to pack the buns and my hands are cramping.
So Wu Jiao thought about it, and prepared to make big diced meat buns, the size of a plate as big as his face, so that one meal would be enough for a meal!
Wu Jiu thought about this, and thought of Qihou's appetite like a bull, and thought that Qihou's two meals would be enough?
Wu Jiu thought it was good, so he started to make big diced meat buns, and soon he made a lot of them. While steaming the buns, he thought about it again. They might have to camp in the wild along the way, and they could only eat some of the stuff they brought with them. Food and vegetables must not be brought, as they tend to wilt and are not fresh.
Wu Jiu’s eyes lit up. The last time I made skewers for everyone, it seemed that everyone liked it. Why don’t you just skewer some skewers, keep them chilled, and take a spare. At night, everyone sits around the campfire and cooks skewers by yourself , isn't it interesting?
Wu Jiu thought so, so he asked someone to get a wooden stick, and then began to cut the meat, and seasoned the meat. The meat that was easy to get old was processed and tenderized, and then skewered on the wooden stick.
After a while, Wu Jiao made a lot of skewers, including pork belly, tender lamb, spicy beef, honey sauce chicken wings, honey sauce ribs, chicken heart and chicken gizzards, chicken crispy bones, big lamb waist, grilled prawns, grilled squid, etc. wait.
After making them, Wu Jiu called Ling Ren again, got some ice cubes, and refrigerated all these skewers, ready to take them on the road and bake them.
Soon the army is about to set off, the army is majestic, with tens of thousands of troops, the Marquis of Qi personally marched, it is simply imposing, the final candidates are Da Situ Wujiu, the Chinese doctor Zhaohu Dongguoya, and the hydraulic officials匽尚.
Naturally, they have to take Tong Shang with them. After all, they still have to act for Tong Shang to make the final foreshadowing. Of course, Qihou's excuse for bringing Tong Shang is not to let him assist in the war, but to take Tong Shang to The study of water power just happened to allow Tong Shang to browse the mountains and rivers of Qi State.
The army was ready and set off that day. They said they were going to fight, but in fact they were going to visit the mountains and rivers to tease Tan Guo.
Qihou still remembers the molestation of the old man Tan Guo when he was attending the funeral for the late king. At that time, the old man molested Qihou and said that he likes strong ones, etc. Qihou is a person who holds grudges. However, there are very few men who molested Qihou, at most they were just winked at by women, so Qihou's memory is very deep, and this time he wanted to go to the ideal.
Qi Hou and Wu Jiu sat in the black car, and the black car drove out of Linzi city, the roads were full of people and officials who were sending them off.
Wu Jiu was always motion sick, and this time he was traveling a long distance, so he wanted to sleep after getting in the car. Seeing that Wu Jiu was sleepy, Qi Hou patted his leg quickly and said, "Come on, second brother, lie down."
Seeing how attentive Qihou was, Wu Jiao didn't refuse, and just lay on his lap. Although his muscles were a little stiff, he didn't pick and choose if he had a pillow.
Wu Jiao was lying on Qihou's lap. Although it was already spring, it was still cold. Qihou took off his cloak and put it on Wu Jiao's body. He also gently patted Wu Jiao, coaxing Wu Jiao to sleep.
Wu Jiu felt that Qi Hou was patting himself like this, just like his mother patting him when he was a child. Qi Hou should know that Wu Jiu always regarded himself as a mother and looked for maternal love in himself. He really didn't know whether to cry or laugh...
Wu Jiu soon fell asleep and had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, the carriage was dark and it was already dark.
As soon as Wu Jiu opened his eyes, he saw Qi Hou, but Wu Jiu didn't see Qi Hou's face, because Qi Hou held a big bun in front of his face!
Qi Hou even took advantage of Wu Jiao's sleep to steal a big bun, which was made by Wu Jiu to be as big as a face plate. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is a Big Mac. He even bit off two-thirds of the big bun, and then took another bite, directly finishing a big bun.
Qi Hou ate the big bun in his hand, but he didn't realize that Wu Jiu had woken up, so he took out another big bun from the small cabinet next to him, and ate it in three mouthfuls.
Wu Jiao was terrified when he saw it for a moment, and felt that Qihou was definitely reincarnated from a starving ghost. Eating a bun was like a tiger snatching food. When Wu Jiao was stunned, Qihou had already killed three big buns.
Wu Jiu got up quickly, Qihou just ate the big bun, wanted to cover it up, swallowed the bun quickly, and put his oily hands behind his back.
Wu Jiao hastily touched his hair, the buns were made of diced meat, not pure lean meat, after all the stuffing of the buns is delicious only when the oil comes out, Wu Jiao was afraid that when Qi Hou ate the buns, the oil would leak on his head superior.
Seeing Qihou with his hands behind his back, Wu Jiu almost choked, and angrily threw a handkerchief on him, saying, "Wipe it quickly, don't rub it on your clothes."
Qihou smiled, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands, Wu Jiao felt as if he had raised a big dog, and it was a big dog that could eat.
Qihou said with a smile: "It's all the fault of the second brother, who made the buns so delicious and put them in the car."
Wu Jiao said to himself, oh, it turned out to be his own fault, you can't put food in the car, otherwise Qi Hou's dog's nose will smell it.
While Qihou was wiping his hands, Wu Jiao checked the cabinet, and when he opened it, he was dumbfounded. There were only the last five of the big pile of steamed buns that were as big as face plates!
Wu Jiao made a lot of them, there were at least a dozen of them. Wu Jiao thought that Qi Hou would only eat two for a meal, but ended up eating five or six at once. Wu Jiao stared at the empty cabinet in shock, then at Qi Hou Hou's stomach couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it. Has Qihou's stomach become a watermelon?
Wu Jiu stretched out his hand, but Qihou's abdomen was still deflated and stiff. Qihou has a hot body, so he wore less clothes after spring, and he could still feel the smoothness of his muscles through his clothes.
Wu Jiao is really strange, Qi Hou is definitely a heartless person, otherwise, after eating so much, why would it all go down the back of his spine?
Qihou didn't expect Wu Jiao to "tick" himself, grabbed Wu Jiu, "Boom!" and pushed him into the car with a sound, with an "evil" expression on his face, he said in a hoarse voice: "Second brother , is it easy to touch?"
As he said, he lowered his head and was about to kiss Wu Jiu, but Wu Jiu smelled a strong smell of steamed stuffed buns, and quickly turned his head away in disgust, Qi Hou's "fragrant kiss" fell through.
Wu Jiu said with disgust, "Go and rinse your mouth first."
Qi Hou was pushed up pitifully and said, "Second Brother, why do you always dislike Gu."
Wu Jiao said indifferently: "No, how dare Jiu despise Jun Shang, it's just that he has a big appetite and the taste of steamed stuffed buns in his mouth."
Qihou was even more pitiful, and said, "Don't you despise Gu?"
As he said, he refused to rinse his mouth if he insisted on kissing Wu Jiu's lips. Wu Jiu was kissed on his lips, but it didn't penetrate deeply, but he also smelled a smell of steamed stuffed buns, and his face turned dark immediately. Qi Hou hurriedly He called to stop, and then everyone saw Jun Shang burning his ass, and jumped out of the car in a hurry, as if he had taken advantage of something, with a smiling expression on his face.
Everyone stared blankly at Qihou, and then Qihou coughed, put on an inscrutable look, and said, "It's getting late, let's set up camp."
Everyone responded quickly, but they still don't know why Qihou ordered to set up camp and laughed so... so unbearably?
Immediately, everyone saw that Wu Jiao also got off the car, Wu Jiao stepped down, it was dark, or Wu Jiu's face was dark, but it was very dark, as if he had been tanned by the scorching sun.
Wu Jiu got out of the car and immediately said, "Ziqing, I want to rinse my mouth."
Ziqing felt helpless at once, after all he was an old man beside Wu Jiu, and instantly understood what was going on, if this matter was told to listen, no one else would believe it.
It was getting dark, and everyone hurriedly set up camp and lit a bonfire. Qi Hou knew that Wu Jiao had prepared skewers, so he specially found a place to sleep in the wild at night. It didn't look like going to war, it was clearly a spring outing!
Everyone lit up the bonfire, and Wu Jiao ordered people to bring over the skewers. It was the beginning of spring. The temperature difference between morning and evening was a bit big, and the weather was still very cold. As soon as the sun went down, he felt it. Shaking in his cloak, he sat by the fire and warmed his hands.
Zhaohu tidied up his things, but it was too cold. He was also afraid of the cold, so he hurried to the campfire and said, "My lord, you are cold too, so let's get closer."
Qi Hou rinsed his mouth, turned his head and disappeared Wu Jiu, walked out of the tent and saw that Wu Jiao and Zhao Hu were sitting next to the campfire, the two of them were warming up, not only warming up, but also leaning against each other, looking quite intimate , Zhao Hu put his arms around Wu Jiu's shoulders, as if he wanted to hold Wu Jiu in his arms.
Qihou's jealousy rose instantly, perhaps because the boiling point of sour vinegar was too low, the sour vinegar in Qihou's heart boiled quickly, it was like a raging fire, so he hurried over with big strides.
Wu Jiu was still leaning against Zhao Hu to keep warm, but Qi Hou grabbed him, Wu Jiu was startled, Qi Hou was like talking nonsense again, and hugged Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiao leaped into the air and struggled for a while, but Qi Hou held him firmly, so he didn't let Wu Jiao go down to the ground, and said with a wicked face, "Second brother, I'm lonely, now I'm going to punish you." you."
Zhao Hu was also taken aback, he was dumbfounded, staring at Qihou and Wu Jiao, Wu Jiu's face turned red all of a sudden, he was ashamed.
