No correction

The difficult problem of meticulous work, in this way, naturally relaxes a lot.

Qi Houlou lived in Wu Jiu, because the sun was very strong, although the light couldn't come in, but it was very bright, Qi Hou couldn't sleep, so he put his arms around Wu Jiu and said, "Second brother, let's make buns and eat them after we go back, that diced meat It's delicious, but Gu also likes the soup dumpling you made last time, can you make the soup dumpling so big?"

Wu Jiu almost sprayed Qihou's face with a mouthful of blood, have you ever seen such a big soup dumpling?

But Wu Jiu thought about it again, it was the first time Qihou saw a soup dumpling, let alone the size of a soup dumpling.

In the past, Wu Jiu thought that Marquis Qi was a high-ranking, gloomy, uncertain, and suspicious monarch. However, such a monarch would destroy his image when he talked about it.

Wu Jiu didn't want to talk to him, leaning on his shoulder felt very warm, wanted to continue to sleep, but Qi Hou kept "nagging" in his ear.

"Second brother, make big soup dumplings for Gu, okay?"

"Second brother, the honey-glazed chicken wings are also delicious, and the roast lamb waist is also good."

"Second brother, roasted lamb loin doesn't smell fishy at all, the cook in the palace can't do it..."

Qihou kept saying "get it", and Wu Jiu took him for nothing, but Qihou's voice was very nice, deep and elegant, with strong magnetism, and Wu Jiu was hypnotized after listening to it. He murmured, "Are you a reincarnation of a starving ghost?"

Qi Houlou looked at Wu Jiu, paused, then chuckled, feeling that Wu Jiu was fast asleep in his arms, he stroked his hair lightly, and said, "Second brother, you are so smart, Did you see this all?"

In fact, Qihou liked to eat in his previous life, otherwise he would not have favored Yi Ya, but the feeling of liking to eat is completely pursuing a feeling of superiority, because in this era, eating represents authority and class.

In his previous life, Qi Hou was trapped by people, starved and thirsty, and finally died of unbearable humiliation. Perhaps eating and drinking has become a knot in his heart, which is completely different from the feeling in his previous life. Hou felt quite right.

Qihou smiled and kissed Wu Jiu's forehead, and said, "Second brother, you should feed the orphan well."

Wu Jiu had a dream, he dreamed that he was making steamed buns, super big soup dumplings, one was as big as a face, but the supply was in short supply, Qi Hou and his wife took two bites of each, and they ate very fast, wishing they could eat it before they were steamed in the pot. After eating, what Wu corrected was that his hands were sore, his arms were sore, everywhere hurt, and he was extremely tired.

And Qihou also said that he was slow in wrapping, and he didn't have enough to eat, so Qihou wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Second brother is too slow to wrap, and there is not enough food, so I can only eat second brother... ..."

As Marquis Qi said, he slowly forced him over, and then there was a dream in which Marquis Qi "eat" Wu Jiu, and Wu Jiu woke up in fright, because this dream was so shameful!

Wu Jiu woke up from his dream with a "ho..." sound, his head was covered with sweat, Qihou ordered people to stop the car and prepared to rest for a while, when he saw that Wu Jiu had woken up, he quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and said: "Second brother, are you having a nightmare? Why are you covered in sweat?"

Wu Jiu really had a "nightmare", because that dream was really illogical, why did he keep making buns, and in the end Qi Hou "ate" himself, the food was indescribable...

Qi Hou wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, Wu Jiao was taken aback, and quickly put aside Qi Hou's hand, because Wu Jiu was not quite right at this time, he was a little impulsive, and being gently wiped by Qi Hou made him even more impulsive stand up.

Wu Jiu hurriedly said, "You can come by yourself."

Qi Hou didn't see Wu Jiu's gaffe, so he handed the handkerchief to Wu Jiu. At this time, someone came to report the itinerary, so Qi Hou got out of the car, leaving Wu Jiu alone in the car.

Wu Jiu quickly breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise his embarrassing appearance would be discovered. Wu Jiu quickly took a few deep breaths to ease his excitement, and then he also got out of the car and jumped out.

Qihou was talking to someone, Wu Jiao stood in the distance and looked at Qihou's back, Qihou was raising his arms, the black robe was unfolded, outlining Qihou's tall figure, Wu Jiao saw it, his throat tightened immediately , inexplicably and a little excited, why do I feel like an idiot?

Wu Jiu hurriedly turned his head away and walked to the side, wanting to calm down, but he only took a few steps when he heard Zhao Hu's hoarse voice say: "What are you doing, we'll be on our way in a while, you, you Don't mess with me."

Dong Guoya's voice was rare, with a smile on his face, and he said, "Doesn't Doctor Zhong like it?"

Zhao Hu's voice gritted his teeth and said: "You get out, you like it!"

Dong Guoya said calmly: "It's not bad, Dong Guo really likes it."

When Zhaohu heard this, his voice fell silent for a while, and then he said: "You, you are thick-skinned! Be gentle, it really hurts."

Wu Jiu almost choked immediately, turned his head and hurried a few steps to avoid the voice, and then he was relieved, and Master Zhao and Master Dong Guo showed affection.

Wu Jiu had no choice but to walk back, sit by the car to rest, rest his chin and look at Qihou in the distance, Qihou was still talking to someone, pointing at something, his expression was very serious, his face was very tough, he was indeed handsome, And very handsome.

Wu Jiao thought to himself, it's normal for him to react. After all, this body is 30 years old, which is also the age of a tiger and wolf. Wu Jiao didn't have these thoughts before, so naturally he didn't think much about it. Now that he started dating Qihou, he didn't expect that I really have this thought.

Wu Jiu looked at Qi Hou's back, touched his chin, and seemed to be thinking about something...

Qi Hou was talking to someone, and he felt two hot eyes from his back, staring at his back, as if he was going to pierce through it, it was very dangerous, Qi Hou was a person with a sense of crisis, he thought it was an assassin , looked back, but did not find any changes, only to see Wu correcting staring at himself.

After Qihou finished his work, he walked back and said, "Second brother, have you rested yet? Let's go on the road after resting, and go back earlier."

Wu Jiu nodded, and the two got into the car and continued on their way.

Soon the army returned to the state of Qi, and the scholar-bureaucrats lined the road to greet it. All the civil and military personnel of the Manchu dynasty arrived to welcome the army, and salt carts entered the city.

This time they can be said to have won a complete victory, and Qi State has just reached Tan State, and they have already achieved success without sending troops to help.

All this is due to everyone's strategy, as well as the tacit understanding of division of labor and cooperation.

When Marquis Qi returned to his country, he would naturally start admiring his merits, and this time Song State defeated Chu State, solved the crisis of Zheng State, and also solved the crisis for the emperor's Luo Shi. You must know that Luo Shi is right next to Zheng State. With the death of the State of Zheng, Master Luo lost his family, and it must be not far from the end of the country.

Therefore, not only the Marquis of Qi was rewarded for meritorious deeds, but the emperor also sent someone to send a document to reward meritorious deeds.

And the person who sent the document was Shan Bo, the emperor's most trusted man.

As I said before, Shan Guo is the feudal state within the city of Luo Division, and Shan Bo is the title of Earl, who is in charge of the soldiers and horses of Luo Division.

Shan Bo was in his early 30s, slightly older than Wu Jiu, and he looked majestic, with a simple and honest appearance, tall and tall, boasting a sword at his waist, and he walked up to the hall very quickly.

Uncle Shan walked in, and Wu Jiu took a look, good guy, he used to think that Qihou was tall enough, but he didn't expect Uncle Shan to be taller than Qihou. There is a scar across it, but upon closer inspection, apart from the scar, it doesn't seem to be a fierce appearance, but rather heroic in a simple and honest way.

Shan Bo was Ji's surname, Shan's family name, and his name was Zizheng. He bowed his hands to Qihou, and then presented the emperor's commendation document.

The Marquis of Qi asked people to read it at the court, and the emperor commended the main countries with meritorious deeds this time. The first-class merit was naturally Qi, then Song, and finally Zhu. When Zheng was in danger, these three countries Standing up to help relieved Zheng Guo's embarrassment and consolidated the majesty of the emperor, so the emperor planned to hold a celebration meeting in Luoshi, inviting princes from all over the world to come to celebrate the meritorious service of Duke Song of Qi and Zhu.

In fact, apart from the celebration, there are other things, and that is to invite the princes to discuss the matter of fighting against Chu.

The state of Chu has always been the confidant of the emperor of Zhou. After all, the state of Chu and the emperor are fighting against each other. How can the emperor allow other people to sleep beside him, and he is still a very powerful person?

Therefore, Hu Qi, the emperor, wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of seriously injuring Chu State to discuss ways to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Although other vassal states did not contribute at all in this battle between Zheng and Chu, and they did not help, such as Tan Guosuiguo and Lu The country is Ju, but everyone also wants a piece of the pie, and they all have to join forces to attack Chu according to the wind.

The emperor was afraid that everyone would have no rules and take credit from each other, and in the end they would be defeated one by one by the state of Chu, so he wanted to unite everyone to discuss.

In addition, the four countries of Tan Guo, Sui Guo, Lu Guo and Ju Guo were delayed in this battle of Zheng and Chu. The emperor was very angry and wanted to punish them, so he had to take advantage of this time to punish them.

In addition to the commendation documents, Uncle Shan also brought invitations, and presented them respectfully to the Marquis of Qi, saying in a deep and deep voice, "The Son of Heaven is setting up a grand banquet in Luoshi. Da Situ appreciates the face."

Qihou smiled and said: "Mr. Shan, you are too polite. What is rewarding face and not rewarding face? Xiaobai is a citizen of the emperor. Naturally, he should respect the emperor respectfully. Xiaobai will definitely attend this banquet."

Sitting on the mat in Lu's bedroom, Wu Jiu smiled for no reason when he heard Qi Hou say that he was "Xiaobai" again.

That Uncle Shan thought that Wu Jiu was laughing at him, but when Wu Jiao smiled like a spring breeze, his face was gentle and elegant, Uncle Shan was taken aback for a moment, he was stunned when he saw it.

When Qi Hou saw it, he coughed hard and said, "Dan Gong is exhausted, please go to the post house to rest. When Gu is ready, he will go to Luoshi with Shan Gong."

Uncle Shan quickly cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Xie Qigong."

Soon the court disbanded, and now that the state of Chu has been defeated, all the officials are very happy, the atmosphere is good, especially Wu Jiu has made great contributions again, so the high officials treat Wu Jiu with great courtesy, and everyone bows their hands to salute , Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong were respectful.

Wu Jiu walked out of the bedroom and was about to go to the political affairs hall when he heard someone calling him from behind, saying, "Great Situ, great Situ of Qi."

Wu Jiu turned his head and saw that it was Shan Bo Zizheng, Shan Zizheng was walking over, cupped his hands at Wu Jiu, and said with a smile, "The Great Situ of the State of Qi."

Wu Jiu quickly cupped his hands and said, "Shan Gong, Jiu is polite."

Shan Zi was scratching his chin with a smile, his face lacked the majesty just now, instead he was a bit simple and honest, and said, "This... Da Situ probably doesn't remember Zizheng?"

When Wu Jiu heard this, his heart tensed up. Could it be that the former young master Jiu knew Uncle Shan?

Wu Jiu also went to Luoshi before, but at that time, Uncle Shan was sent out on business, so he didn’t meet Uncle Shan directly, but Uncle Shan and Gongsun Xipeng were good friends, and Uncle Shan led the troops when they attacked Sui Kingdom , Coach Qi.

But so many times, Wu Jiu has never met Shan Bo face to face, this is the first time to meet him face to face, and at such a close distance.

Wu Jiu rolled his eyes, thinking that this Shan Bo didn't know what kind of friendship he had with Young Master Jiu, so he came to test him?

Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Shan Bo is the emperor's confidant and minister, how could Jiu not remember?"

Hearing what he said, Shanzi suddenly showed a slightly disappointed expression on his face, and then returned to normal in a flash, and said with a smile: "It seems... It seems that Da Situ really doesn't remember Shan."

Wu Jiu felt very strange, at this moment, Gongsun Xipeng walked by, saw Shan Zizheng, and said with a smile, "Brother Shan."

When Shanzi saw Gongsun Xipeng coming, he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Gongsun, I heard that you are getting married, congratulations."

Gongsun Xipeng said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, but this matter has to be discussed later."

Shanzi was smiling and said: "Yes, the state of Chu came to commit crimes, and there were many things after that, which delayed my brother's marriage. When my brother gets married, you must tell Brother Wei, and Brother Wei will prepare a congratulatory gift for you! "

The relationship between Gongsun Xipeng and Shan Zizheng seemed to be quite good, Wu Zheng took the opportunity and slipped away.

Wu Jiu hurried to the political affairs hall, but unexpectedly someone intercepted him halfway, it turned out to be Qi Hou, Qi Hou took Wu Jiu to the small bedroom, Wu Jiu thought that Qi Hou was going to tell him something important and confidential, but it turned out not to be the case.

Qi Hou took Wu Jiu's hand, and said with an aggrieved face, "Second brother, I don't like you getting too close to Uncle Shan."

Wu Jiao is a headache, why did he get close to Uncle Shan?Not only Shan Bo, but even Qi Hou had a strange expression, which made Wu Jiao very strange. What kind of friendship does Young Master Jiu have with Shan Bo?

However, Wu Jiao is not a young master, and he can't ask such a careless question, which will arouse suspicion and be treated as a monster, so he can only interrupt.

Wu Jiu said, "Jiu has no personal relationship with Mr. Shan."

As soon as he said this, Qi Hou said with a sad face: "Second brother still wants to deceive Gu, he really should be punished."

As he said, he immediately picked up Wu Jiao and pressed him on the couch. Wu Jiao was startled, because he had a strange dream before, so Wu Jiao's heart beat a little fast at this time, watching Qi Hou getting closer and closer. The closer the handsome face is, the more the heart beats "bang bang bang".

Wu Jiu's breathing also became short of breath, Qi Hou's lips slowly pressed over, Wu Jiu closed his eyes subconsciously, but Qi Hou's lips did not kiss Wu Jiu's lips, but missed it, at Wu Jiu's Rubbing lightly on the earlobe, he said in a hoarse and low voice full of anger, "Then punish the second brother... just make twenty big buns for Gu."

When Wu Jiu heard this, all the excitement and impulse disappeared immediately, and he almost rolled his eyes at Qi Hou, and pushed Qi Hou away very rudely, straightened his clothes, and even dusted them, as if Qi Hou Hou had been touched by him dirty, with a disgusted look on his face.

Qi Hou said hurriedly, "Second brother, where are you going?"

Wu Jiao said angrily: "Jiao is busy with official duties, not as busy as Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to eat steamed stuffed buns, the caterer will too, just pass on the meal."

As Wu Jiu said, he went out, Qi Hou yelled twice, Wu Jiu didn't stop, and left in a hurry, Qi Hou vaguely felt that Wu Jiu might be a little angry, but he didn't know why...

The emperor hosted a banquet, and many countries responded, rushing to Luoshi one after another. After all, this banquet is a great opportunity to watch the excitement, and they can also get a share of the action.

Watching the excitement is naturally watching the excitement of Lu State, Tan State, Ju State, and Sui State. Under the edict of the emperor, these four countries even attacked Qi State.

And to share a piece of the pie, naturally it is to share the state of Chu. Everyone wants to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and simply destroy the state of Chu in one fell swoop.

But Wu Jiu doesn’t think so. The state of Chu is very powerful, and it can stand up to the emperor, which shows how powerful it is. Moreover, the state of Chu is located in the south, and the terrain is rugged. Many places are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the state of the Zhou Dynasty attacks Chu In China, the front line is stretched too long, which is very unfavorable, and supply is the problem.

If Chu State delays with them, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and they will definitely be dragged until the food and grass are exhausted, and they will counterattack at the end, and the gains will not be worth the losses.

Wu Jiu felt that the power of the Zhou Dynasty was not enough to destroy the Chu State, so he had no plans to take a share of the pie, and it was better to take advantage of the Chu State's vital energy to recuperate.

Although Wu Jiu thought so, he still had to attend the conference. After all, this conference was also a commendation conference, and the emperor had to personally commend Duke Song of Qi and the Monarch of Zhu.

Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu didn't stay in Linzi City for long, and they started on the road again, heading for Luoshi, preparing to attend the banquet hosted by the Son of Heaven.

This time, because he was going to receive the title, he didn't need to bring a lot of soldiers and horses. The accompanying general was Zhan Xiong, and of course there was Shan Bo who was accompanying him. Everyone went to Luo division together.

Qihou's attitude towards Uncle Shan was very strange. He was smiling and respectful in front of him, but he was very hostile behind him. The hostility was inexplicable.

Because everyone is walking together, it is inevitable that they also talk. When Wu Jiao was sitting in the car, he could only talk to Qihou, but the car was exhausted all the way, and it was inevitable to be tired from the car. He will ride Jiumo and follow the team.

Uncle Shan urged his horse to come over. Uncle Shan's horse was black, which was in stark contrast to Jiu Mo, one white and one black quite well.

Wu Jiu found that Uncle Shan was actually quite a good person, with a somewhat simple and honest appearance, but overall he gave off a sense of majesty and righteousness. He was also a "veteran" who was trained in the battlefield and was born as a general, so he had a strong aura.

Uncle Shan is very sincere and generous, so he and Gongsun Xipeng are very much at odds. The two are old friends for many years, and Wu Jiu also thinks that Uncle Shan is a good person.

Shan Bo and Wu Jiu rode horses side by side, the two of them were talking and laughing, Qi Hou opened the curtain of the black car, and saw this scene, and suddenly his stomach was overturned.

Wu Jiu didn't know what to say, Shan Bolang laughed loudly and said: "Da Situ is joking, Zizheng is a three-legged cat's kung fu, how dare he be Da Situ's master? It's really a shame."

When Qihou heard this, he murmured in his heart, what is the second brother's eyesight, although that Uncle Shan is good at using soldiers, but he is a barbarian, with strength, a lot of muscles, but not good at hand skills, the second brother thinks that Shan Zi is good at martial arts ?Not as good as myself.

Qihou thought so, and the two men went to the other place again, and Shan Zi said: "Da Situ, your horse is very strong, it must be a thousand-mile horse, can you touch it?"

Naturally, Wu Jiu did not refuse, saying, "Duke Shan please go ahead."

Qi Hou laughed at this moment, put his hand to his mouth suddenly, and whistled "whoosh--".

Seeing that Shan Zizheng's hand hadn't touched Jiu Mo, Jiu Mo suddenly raised his neck and kicked his legs.

You must know that although Jiu Mo is vigorous, he is very gentle, he never kicks his head, and he never loses his temper. For some reason, he pouted all of a sudden to prevent Shan Zi from touching its mane.

At the same time, he made a sudden U-turn, and "Gada Gada" ran forward, heading towards the black car.

Jiu Mo was a BMW rewarded to Wu Jiu by the Marquis of Qi, so he naturally listened to Marquis Qi's words, and as soon as Marquis Qi whistled, Jiu Mo ran over.

At this time, Qihou smiled calmly and said, "So correct, so good."

Wu Jiu was about to piss off Marquis Qi, but Uncle Shan was shocked. He didn't know that the horse was called Jiu Mo, but he thought Marquis Qi was called by Wu Jiu's nickname. He was full of pampering, and Without concealing it, Uncle Shan soon looked disappointed.

Wu Jiu was so angry that he was going to die, but Jiu Mo didn't listen to him, and ran to the side of the chariot, Qihou stretched out his hand to copy it, then picked Wu Jiu up, hugged him in his arms, and carried him from the horse to the chariot, saying: " Second brother, riding a horse is too tiring, I'd better take a carriage with Gu."

Wu Jiu felt ashamed because of that "good Jiuer", and seeing the shocked expression from Shan Bo, he felt that if he explained, the horse was actually called Jiu Mo, and the description would become darker and darker. I would believe it, so I simply pretended to be an ostrich, without explaining, got into the black car and sat.

For a few days, Marquis Qi spent the time declaring his ownership, and soon arrived at Luoshi.

Because this banquet was ordered by the emperor, and because Qi State repelled the Chu army, no country dared to stop them. You can also take the opportunity to curry favor with Marquis Qi.

Qi's team entered Luoshi smoothly. The emperor would not welcome them at the gate of the city, but the emperor greeted them at the gate of the palace in person. What an honor is this?

Because the emperor came to greet him, all the princes who arrived first also followed the emperor to greet him. There were many people at the gate of the palace, and there were court robes of various titles.

Zhanxiong saw Song Gongyu at a glance and said, because of the war between Song State and Chu State, although Zhanxiong met Song Gongyu, but Song Gongyu said that he was busy with government affairs, and the two of them really had no time and no chance to talk about private matters. It's better now, Song Gong also came in person.

Song Gong was wearing a black court robe. I don't know if it was because he was busy with political affairs, so he lost a lot of weight, but he was very energetic. When he saw Zhanxiong, his eyes were a little burning. Zhanxiong knew at a glance that Yu said that he must miss himself too. , couldn't help but smiled.

Wu Jiu looked at Zhanxiong beside him, stared at Song Gong with an idiot expression on his face, couldn't help poking Zhanxiong lightly, and then Zhanxiong coughed, and retracted his burning gaze.

Not only did Song Gongyu say that he was here, but also the monarch of Zhu Kingdom had already arrived. Cao Ke was standing in the team. He has made great achievements, so he is also the guest of the emperor, and Cao Ke stands very close to the front.

Wu Jiu remembered that he met Cao Ke once when he was at the Northern Apricot League. Cao Ke, the king of Zhu Kingdom, gave people a deep feeling. He was the kind of shrewd person who would flatter him. Although he flattered him, he was not like a friend , revealing a wicked flattery, but the person who took the picture was very comfortable.

Moreover, Cao Ke is very aware of current affairs. Although he is the monarch of a country affiliated to Lu, he understands that Lu has gone downhill. In order to prevent Zhu from becoming a victim of Lu's ambition like Sui, Cao Ke knows what to do. , who to depend on.

I haven't seen Cao Ke for more than a year. Cao Ke is wearing a court robe, and he looks tall and smart. His narrow eyes are habitually squinted. He is not very old, but he is mature and dignified. He is indeed young and promising.

Perhaps it was because Cao Ke personally led the troops to stop Lu, so Cao Ke also lost a lot of weight, which seemed to be a lot lighter.

The Son of Heaven personally greeted Marquis Qi, and the two greeted each other with hypocritical faces, but Wu Jiao felt that Marquis Qi was actually quite handsome when he was hypocritical...

The emperor led Qihou to go in, and said with a smile: "This time, I really have to thank Duke Qi. Duke Qi understands righteousness deeply, and he is a role model for my Zhou Dynasty. You princes, you should also learn more from Duke Qi."

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Qi Gong is really a role model!"

"I am a role model to learn from."

"Qi Gong understands righteousness..."

As soon as the emperor Hu Qi spoke, people from many countries responded. Those who arrived early were some small countries to express their respect for the emperor, such as Cai Guo, Chen Guo, etc. These countries are close to Qi. Insignificant, wanting to curry favor with Qihou, as soon as he heard what the emperor said, he immediately catered to him and praised Qihou non-stop.

The emperor arranged the team of Qi State to rest directly in the palace. There is a banquet later, and there is no need to run around. After today’s banquet, they will still rest in the palace, and they will go to the posthouse to stay early the next morning. A meeting was held to discuss strategies to deal with Chu.

Qihou and Wu Jiao were going to rest for a while, while Zhanxiong sneaked away. Wu Jiao ran away when he saw Zhanxiong's impatient face. He must have told Song Gongyu, and Wu Jiao didn't stop him. After all, Zhanxiong's lovesickness The disease is serious.

Wu Jiu couldn't understand it before, after all he had no lust, but now he understands, if there is someone he likes, naturally he doesn't want to be separated from him, Zhanxiong and Song Gong, one is the general of Qi State, the other is the monarch of Song State. Looking at thousands of mountains and rivers, I am naturally happy when we can meet each other.

Wu Jiu was also tired. After a short rest, Qihou asked him to get up. The two of them changed their clothes and prepared to go to the banquet. Today's banquet is very grand, and they need to go early to show respect, otherwise other countries will chew their tongues The roots, saying that they are arrogant and so on.

When Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi arrived at the banquet hall, there was already a lot of voices inside. As soon as they walked in, they immediately became the focus, and many people gathered around and kept clapping their hands at them.

Wu Jiu had sharp eyes and saw the old monarch of Tan Guo. Old Tan Gong was hiding in the crowd. After all, Tan Guo was criticized when he came here this time, so he kept a low profile, fearing that others would put on his shoes.

Wu Jiu cupped his hands to Old Tan Gong with a smile on his face and said, "Tan Gong, long time no see."

Old Tan Gong himself was very low-key, but when Wu Jiu said this, he immediately became the focus. Everyone looked at Old Tan Gong with disdain and even laughed at him. After all, Tan Guo made a fool of himself. Not to mention the enemy, this time he almost rebelled. Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. All the princes heard about it, and laughed and talked about it.

Old Tan Gong's complexion was not good, he said dryly, "Qi Gong, Da Situ of Qi State."

Qi Hou also said with a smile: "Old Tan Gong, is your body still strong?"

Old Tan Gong hurriedly said: "Xie Qi Gong is concerned."

They were talking, the emperor Hu Qi came out from inside, and everyone hurriedly knelt down to salute and pay respects to the emperor.

Hu Qi, the emperor, said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite, just be flat."

Everyone stood up one after another, and Hu Qi, the emperor, specially said: "Duke Qi, please sit down."

This sentence shows the difference between Qi State and Qi Hou.

Marquis Qi sat down after thanking him, Wu Jiu sat next to him, and everyone also took their seats.

Hu Qi, the son of heaven, began to make a speech, saying: "Today, I invite all the princes to a feast for the reason that those southern barbarians in Chu State were repelled by my soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty! This time, the Chu army can be defeated. It is indispensable, now, let everyone raise their glasses and respect the three monarchs."

Everyone hurriedly raised their wine glasses and toasted to Duke Song of Qi and King Zhu.

The emperor rewarded three more countries, then his face changed, and he said: "This time Chu invaded, there are also countries that don't understand the reason in our Zhou Dynasty, despise the majesty of the widow, and ignore the edict of the widow! Open rebellion!"

He said, "Boom!" As soon as he slapped the table, Lao Tan Gong's wine glass "Gulu" fell to the ground in fright, and he got all the wine.

I heard the emperor Hu Qi say: "Tan Gong, are you guilty!?"

When Old Tan Gong heard it, it was clearly a persimmon looking for softness. In addition to Tan Guo, Lu Guo and Ju Guo also had a share, but the emperor just named Tan Guo. After all, Tan Guo is weak, and Lu and Ju are from the east. The country tied for the second largest has a strong military force, and Hu Qi did not dare to name it rashly.

Furthermore, the State of Lu and the State of Ju just wanted to attack the State of Qi by taking advantage of the emptiness of the State of Qi. Tan Guo blocked the rescue soldiers who borrowed the way, which is really despising the emperor of Zhou.

Old Tan Gong knelt on the ground with a "putong" and said: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor is merciful, it's all my little boy who knows nothing about the heights of heaven and the earth, and the old man has already punished the boy himself to make a warning to others. I also ask the emperor to be merciful. In the eyes of the old man For the sake of sincerity and loyalty, please forgive this old man!"

As Old Tan Gong said, he continued to wink at Qi Hou, as if hoping that Qi Hou would give him some kind words.

Qihou smiled and said unhurriedly: "Son, what Mr. Tan said is exactly. Mr. Tan is loyal and has always been a role model for respecting the king. This time there is civil strife in the country of Tan because of the lack of greed of the prince of the country. , Now that Crown Prince Tan has been executed, I ask the emperor to forgive Tan Gong this time for the sake of Tan Gong being an elder."

The Marquis of Qi began to intercede with Tan Gong, and other countries naturally had nothing to say, but the emperor Hu Qi said: "Tan Gong, look, look at the monarch of Qi, you have to study hard."

Old Tangong hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, Duke Qi understands righteousness, there are many adults, and the emperor is wise and clear. I thank the emperor and Duke Qi."

At this time, Qihou smiled and said: "But..."

When he said this, old Tan Gong felt a little bit in his heart, and he heard Qi Hou say again: "Although Tan Gong is loyal, he is not strict in his family and the country, so that such a major mistake has occurred. If you rebel against the emperor, if you don't give Tan Gong some small punishments and big commandments, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and you will set a negative example for the princes and countries."

Old Tan Gong just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qi Hou intercede for himself, and suddenly he raised his breath again, really worried.

Qihou's words were very ingenious. In this way, they all circled around the emperor, and the emperor was naturally happy, so he said: "According to Duke Qi's intention, how should we punish the emperor?"

Qi Hou smiled, cupped his hands and said: "Master Tan is old, he should have lived his old age peacefully, and it is your fault that Mr. Tan is working hard to govern the country. Others think that Mr. Tan treats the princes harshly. "

When he said this, everyone understood that Qi Hou, a sweet date and a stick, wanted to kill the monarch of Tan Kingdom!

They were right. Marquis Qi really wanted to get rid of Lord Tan Guo. Tan Guo himself was a Viscount, a small country, but he had challenged Marquis Qi many times. Although it looks good on the surface, in fact, the situation in the interior is the same. However, if Tan Guo was given a chance to breathe, he would definitely trouble Qi Guo again in the future, so Qi Hou thought, and he would simply kill Tan Gong.

Because the Qi State is a great achievement this time, the emperor was thinking about how to reward Qi Hou. It would be good if Qi Hou was promoted to a title, but Qi Hou became a first-class duke. Gao, Hu Qi was afraid that he would not be able to control the state of Qi, so he didn't want to promote the Marquis of Qi.

Qi Hou said this suddenly, and Hu Qi understood what he meant. He wanted Tan Guo to be his subordinate country. Although a small Tan country is rich, it is too far away from Luoshi, so Hu Qi took Tan Guo as well. It doesn't make sense, just be a favor, cut Viscount Tan Guo, and give it to Marquis Qi directly.

Hu Qi thought about it, and said: "What Qi Gong said is very true, very true, I almost didn't think of this, Tan Gong is getting old, it is better to enjoy his old age, this Tan country will be changed to Tan Yi, and it belongs to Qi country , led by Duke Qi.”

When he said this, Tan Gong almost vomited blood. Although Qi Hou gave him a few good words and there was no punishment, Qi Hou used another sentence to cut Tan Gong's title and reduced a country to a small country. The city was given to Qihou.

The Son of Heaven used Tan Guo to bribe Qi State. How can Tan Gong not be angry, but there is no way. After all, Tan Guo is wronged this time. Lives are at stake.

Tan Gong was in a hurry, but the other monarchs looked at each other, and they all saw that Qi Hou had done a lot this time, so Hu Qi followed his heart and gave him a reward, so Lu Guo and Ju Guo hurriedly shrank their heads and lowered their heads. With his own sense of existence, he dared not speak at all, nor did he dare to challenge him.

At this moment, someone suddenly rushed into the hall in a hurry. The person who came was Hu Qi's confidant, Shan Bozizheng.

Just as Shan Zi came in, he cupped his hands and said, "My king, Zi Zhengfang found a thief hanging around at the gate of the palace. Important things to report."

As soon as everyone heard this, they started talking and chattering, Wu Jiao frowned strangely, now that Chu was defeated and retreated to the south, shouldn't he shrink back quickly?Moreover, a meeting is currently being held in the Luo division. The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss how to take advantage of the victory to attack Chu.

The envoys of the Chu State dared to enter the Luo division, and they felt that they were desperate.

"The Southern barbarians dare to come here?!"

"It must be the defeat of the Chu State, and sent people to form an alliance!"

"That's right! You must be afraid of the majesty of the emperor!"

"The Son of Heaven is wise, Duke Qi is wise!"

Hu Qi himself was still complacent, but when someone shouted, he added the words "Qi Gong Ying Ming", which immediately made Hu Qi a little unhappy. After all, Hu Qi is the emperor, the real king of Zhou, and Qihou is just a marquis , To even share the wisdom with myself.

But this time, if it wasn't for Qi Guo's ingenious tricks, Luo Shi would probably be breached, so Hu Qi couldn't say this.

Hu Qi just had a bad face, and said to Shan Zizheng, "Go, arrest the envoy of Chu State! I want to see what they Chu people are going to do!"

After Hu Qi finished speaking, the Chu man was soon brought into the hall, and several tiger and ben soldiers escorted the Chu man.

He walked in, neither kneeling nor saluting, with his head held high, looking like a dead soldier.

Hu Qi slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Bold! Milliliter is presumptuous! Why don't you be polite when you see a widow!?"

The Chu man laughed and said, "Your Zhou dynasty is exhausted.
