Repair a letter and send it to Master Luo. When the time comes, the emperor will ask the Qi State to hand over the person. It is a humiliation for the Qi State to hand over the man. Not handing over the man is against the decree. Let's see what they will do? ! "

Ju Zi and Wei Hou also agreed with this approach, and as soon as the three of them finalized, they quickly wrote a letter and sent it away.

The coalition troops returned home in mighty strength, and Qi Hou and Wu Jiu also returned to Linzi City smoothly.

The city of Linzi was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the officials and common people lined the road to welcome them, because they had already heard that the coalition forces sent troops this time, and even captured the king of Chu and the doctor of Chu alive.

Qi Hou put the King of Chu in the prison cart and let the King of Chu walk through the market wearing chains. It was extremely shameful. Qi Hou also said with a smile: "Look, King Chu, the people of Qi are so hospitable."

King Chu almost died of anger, his hair turned white overnight.

When everyone returned to Linzi City, they set up a banquet to celebrate their victory on the first day. Cao Ke, the king of Zhu Kingdom, ordered the team to return to Zhu Kingdom first, and also stayed to celebrate their achievements. The celebration banquet lasted for three days and was very lively.

Because of various matters, the marriage of Gongsun Xipeng, the chief executive officer, has been postponed again and again. Taking advantage of the moment of happiness, Gongsun Xipeng proposed the marriage, and Qihou didn't have any objection, and said with a smile: "It's exactly , Now that our country of Qi is celebrating with the whole country, it is better to add joy to the joy, and take advantage of the excitement to arrange the marriage for Xi Peng."

Because Gongsun Xipeng's status is very high, and he and Qihou are friends by fate, so Gongsun Xipeng's marriage will be held in the palace, presided over by Qihou himself, and it will be in autumn. It is to have a grand occasion and entertain the princes and dignitaries of all countries.

Wu Jiu didn't think it was a waste of space. After all, Qi State had just conquered Tan State and became famous all over the world, and then led the coalition forces to capture the King of Chu alive. Now is the time to make a name for himself. Doctor, it is best to contact and communicate with each other.

Da Sixing is about to get married, the happiest person is naturally Gongsun Xipeng, and of course there are others who are also very happy, that is Zhanxiong, because the invitation has been sent to Song State, and Song Gong will leave for Qi State next month. Zhanxiong is naturally happy that he will bring the prince Xiao Muyi together, and he can relieve the pain of lovesickness again.

Seeing Zhanxiong's unresponsive appearance, Qihou suddenly sighed a little. It would be good if Wu Jiu could really be sent to the position of King of Chu in the future. In this way, Qi and Chu could become allies. Long-distance friendship and short-term attack, unite to restrict various countries, Qihou was at most an overlord in his previous life, if Wu Jiu can be the king of Chu in this life, then Qihou will not only be an overlord, but also be an overlord.

But if Wu Jiu really became the King of Chu, thousands of miles away, separated from Qi State by thousands of mountains and rivers, much farther than Qi State and Song State, wouldn’t he be Do you want to be like Zhanxiong, eagerly suffering from lovesickness?

I don't know if it's because of this problem that Marquis Qi is always tired of Wu Jiao these days, Wu Jiao is so annoying that he doesn't go to the small bedroom at all, and spends more time reviewing documents in the political affairs hall.

Marquis Qi couldn't catch Wu Jiu, so he had to go back to Lu Palace to get ready to "go to work", but at this moment, he saw an eunuch hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Qu Wan, a prisoner of Chu... seems to be dying. .”

When Qihou heard this, he was surprised and said, "Sick? Let Tang Wu go and have a look."

The eunuch quickly said, "No, it's not that I'm sick, it's just...it's just that the prisoners of Chu State have been on hunger strike, and it seems that they can't hold on any longer."

When Qi Hou heard this, he was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he asked the eunuch to find Tang Wu, and then took Tang Wu to visit Qu Wan.

Qi Hou knew in his previous life that Qu Wan was a celebrity, a talent, outspoken and dare to advise, although he was a frail scholar, he was talented, tough, and very backbone.

Therefore, Qihou admired Qu Wan and wanted to take Qu Wan back under his command. Although Qu Wan was a prisoner of Chu State, he lived in the palace of Qi State. , I didn't expect Qu Wan to die.

When Qihou came to the house in a hurry, there were already medical officers who were treating him. Qu was lying on the couch emaciated, and he hadn't seen him for a month. Unexpectedly, he became so thin, his face was sallow, as if he was withered leaves.

The medical officer is feeding Qu Wan. It is impossible not to eat. In this day and age, there is no intravenous drip, so there is no way to force the infusion, so he can only eat.

Qu Wan didn't cooperate very much, and he was also hungry, and his stomach shrank a little, so he couldn't eat anything, and when he ate it, he just vomited it out disgustingly. Whether Qu Wan had any strength, he vomited all over his body.

Seeing this scene, Qihou frowned, and seemed to dislike the rudeness of those medical officers, so he said: "Everyone back down, Qu Wan is a lonely distinguished guest, how dare you treat distinguished guests like this?"

The medical officers were also very aggrieved, because they did not eat after being tortured. If they did not eat, they would die.

Qihou walked over, Qu Wan just lifted his eyelids weakly and looked at him, then closed his eyes, as if he had passed away.

Qi Hou hurriedly asked Tang Wu to give him a diagnosis and treatment. Tang Wu checked him and found that Qu Wan was too weak. his life.

After Qihou wanted to subdue Qu, he naturally put on an amiable appearance and said, "Why doesn't Mr. Qu eat? Do you think the meals in my country of Qi are not to your taste?"

Qu Wan lay paralyzed on the couch, did not open his eyes, and said weakly: "The food in Qi State is delicious, but Wan dare not take a bite."

Qihou said, "Why?"

Qu Wan laughed lightly, he was indeed a tough one, and said: "Because you are treating my king harshly, Mr. Qi, and my king is regarded as a prisoner, receiving people's eyes, but Wan is just a mere official from the state of Chu, how dare he criticize the state of Qi?" what about?"

As soon as Qi Hou heard it, he understood that Qu Wan was a loyal minister. Qi Hou showed the color of the King of Chu, and Qu Wan couldn't bear the humiliation of the King of Chu, so he went on a hunger strike to demonstrate.

Qihou laughed and said: "Mr. Qu is a loyal minister and a celebrity, so naturally he should understand that the power of Chu State is exhausted, if it is not for Chu State's insistence on invading, how could it lead to disaster? The King of Chu is disrespectful, treats the King of Chu harshly, Mr. Qu, think about it for yourself, is it because you Chu people are bullying too much?"

What Qihou said was very reasonable, so Qu Wan simply ignored him, and stopped talking, and seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed.

Qihou Guan Tangwu understood the situation, and then smiled and said: "Although Mr. Qu is a celebrity, he is also a flesh and blood body. At least some food is needed. Even for the king of Chu, Mr. Qu must eat too?"

As he spoke, he personally brought over the meal next to him, took a spoonful with a small dagger, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qu, please eat."

As he said this, Qu Wan suddenly opened his eyes, but he didn't want to eat, but suddenly reached out and knocked over the bowl of bronze beans that Qihou was holding with all his strength. All of them were folded on Qihou's body, burning the back of Qihou's hand, and it turned red in an instant.

The porridge is very sticky, and it is the worst thing to burn people. Qihou hissed when it was so hot, and quickly wiped the porridge on the wound with his hand.

Qu Wan said coldly: "Why does Duke Qi have to pretend to be a prisoner?"

Hearing this, Marquis Qi was furious, "Boom!" He kicked the bronze bean and said in a cold voice, "Qu Wan! Don't give you face, you don't want face! I'm the king of a country in Qi, and the corporal of Li Xian has arrived! At this point, you are so stubborn!? Don’t blame me for being so rude!”

Qu Wan just laughed and said nothing.

When Qihou saw his attitude, he became even more angry. With a flick of his black sleeve robe, he threw all the meals on the table on the ground with a sneer, and said with a sneer, "Okay! Well, Qu Wan, you don't eat, do you? Do you want to starve to death? Then from now on, don’t even drink water! Just see how long you can last!”

He said, snorted coldly, turned and left.

Seeing this scene, Tang Wu hurriedly took his medicine box and prepared to go back to Wu Jiao. According to Qu Wan's physical fitness, it was not good at all. If he procrastinated for a month, if he didn't give him water, At most, it will last for a few more days.

Tang Wu was borrowed by the Marquis of Qi, and when Wu Jiao saw him come back, he asked, "Is Your Majesty sick?"

Tang Wu replied: "Back to Da Situ, it's not that you are sick, but Mr. Qu, a prisoner of Chu State. He has been on a hunger strike for the past few days and refused to eat. Your Majesty has angered you, Your Majesty ordered Mr. Qu not to be given water and food."

Tang Wu told the story again, Wu Jiao was taken aback, and said, "Qu Wan is going to die?"

Tang Wu nodded and said, "If you don't drink water, it's only a day or two."

Qu Wan is a celebrity, if Marquis Qi starved Qu Wan to death, it would not be good to hear about it.

Wu Jiu felt that Qu Wan was clearly looking for death, but Lord Qihou had a too strong temper, so he followed Qu Wan's wishes and let Qu Wan die.

Wu Jiao thought for a while, then went straight out of the Zhengshi hall, went to the dining room, and prepared to make a nourishing and nourishing lean meat porridge for Qu Wan to eat.

Wu Jiu chattered in the dining room for quite a while, and made a big bowl of delicious lean meat porridge. The lean meat was made into minced meat. The stew was very bad. It was especially suitable for sick people, and it nourished the stomach and nourished the body.

Soon Wu Jiu made the porridge, took it himself, and went to Qu Wan's place. Qu Wan lay on the couch, and the floor was covered with vomited dirt. Don't care about it, the room is very dirty.

Wu Jiao walked in, frowned, put down the porridge, and ordered the maid and eunuch to tidy up the house.

When Qu Wan heard the sound of someone coming in, he opened his eyes and took a look, and said, "Big Situ doesn't need to be a lobbyist anymore, the winner and the loser have nothing to say."

Wu Jiu smiled with a good temper, and was not as angry as Qi Hou, and said: "Mr. Qu will be mistaken. You didn't come to persuade Mr. Qu to surrender. You just heard that Mr. Qu was on a hunger strike and refused to eat, so I just came here and personally made a bowl of meat porridge for Mr. Qu, and invited Mr. Qu to eat."

Qu Wan was a little surprised, and glanced at the meat porridge. For a person who has been on a hunger strike for a long time, this bowl of meat porridge is a fatal attraction. The fragrant meat smell wafts out, with a strong rice fragrance, which is hard to tell mellow.

It was steaming hot, Qu Wan saw it in his eyes, and quickly closed his eyes, always feeling that this bowl of meat porridge is much more attractive than other big fish and meat.

Seeing Qu Wan's expression of refusal to give in, Wu Jiu said, "Mr. Qu is a tough and loyal minister, and Jiu is well aware of this, but Jiu also has a word to persuade Mr. Qu... The King of Chu did it for the black Gunpowder can even order to kill his own teacher, regardless of whether the King of Chu really wants to kill Baoshen, Mr. Qu is a sensible person with a delicate heart, so he can naturally understand what the King of Chu is like Are you dead? Following the precariousness of the Chu Dynasty, even if you die on a hunger strike for the King of Chu, in the eyes of the people of Chu and the King of Chu, Mr. Qu is nothing but a foolish and loyal idiot. This life is not in vain, is Mr. Qu really going to die in such a mediocre manner?"

After listening to Qu, his eyes flickered, as if he was touched, but he quickly closed his eyes and said, "Take the rice away, it won't work at all."

Wu Jiu was not too persistent, he just said: "Mr. Qu, Jiu will come back tomorrow."

As he spoke, he stood up and told the eunuch and maid to wait on Qu Wan, and she must give him water and food.

Wu Jiao left quickly, looked at the porridge in his hand, he was ready to serve a bowl of meat porridge, it would be a waste if he didn't eat it, but Wu Jiao had just had lunch and couldn't eat any more, so he thought of Marquis Qi.

Qi Hou was scalded by the porridge, and Wu Jiu knew about it, so he brought the porridge to visit Qi Hou.

Qi Hou was still angry in the small dormitory, the medical officer had just applied medicine to Qi Hou's wound, Qi Hou heard that Wu Jiu went to visit Qu Wan, and even cooked Qu Wan himself, almost exploded with anger.

Just when he was angry, he heard the eunuch say that Wu Jiu had come.

Wu Jiu walked in, holding bronze beans in his hands, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Jiu made you a bowl of meat porridge, please don't get angry, and taste it quickly."

As soon as Qi Hou smelled the aroma of the meat porridge, he immediately became happy, and immediately scooped up a spoonful of the meat porridge with a small dagger to taste it.

Needless to say, the taste is very good, the second brother’s craftsmanship, Wu Jiao also made meat porridge before, Qi Hou knew it when he ate it, it is very fragrant, and it is made with care, the minced meat is very soft and rotten without losing the meat taste.

Qi Hou was happy to eat, but suddenly his face became stiff, as if he had just reacted, and said: "Second brother, this meat porridge...couldn't it be because Qu finished that he didn't want to eat it, so second brother brought it here for Gu?"

Wu Jiao was hit by his words and coughed. In fact, it was more than just meat porridge. Wu Jiao often used "leftovers" when cooking for Qi Hou, after all, to avoid waste.However, these leftovers are actually quite good, but the style of the court is too extravagant, Wu Jiu couldn't get used to it.

Wu Jiu laughed and said, "How come?"

Qihou asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Of course not, Jiu knew that the stubborn man wouldn't eat it after Qu finished, so Jiu just used it as a display, in fact, it was the porridge specially made for Your Majesty."

When Qi Hou heard this, he was really furious, and said with an aggrieved face: "Second brother, you still say that you are clearly coaxing orphans."

Wu Jiao said to himself, ah, Qihou has made progress, and he knows that he is coaxing him...

Qihou said: "No, I'm so lonely."

Wu Jiu said with a clear face, "Then what would your lord want to eat?"

Qihou said: "How does the second brother know that Gu has something he wants to eat? It seems that the second brother also knows the orphan."

Qihou said, and said with a smile: "I just want to eat Roujiamo."

Wu Jiu shook his head with a smile and said, "The one who knows the king is Roujiamo."

On the second day, Wu Jiu actually cooked food himself to find Qu Wan. What he made this day was a steamed fish. Seasoning skills, a steamed fish with no appearance is called delicious.

The steamed fish has no fishy smell, so you don't need to taste it, just smell it, the taste is full of freshness and fragrance, which makes people's index fingers move.

Wu Jiu took the fish himself, and went to find Qu Wan. Although Qu Wan hadn't eaten, he drank water, so he was weak. He lay down on the couch, and when he saw Wu Jiu coming again, he murmured, "Da Situ!" , why bother..."

Qu Wan still didn't eat, he was very stubborn, Wu Jiao asked Tang Wu to give Qu Wan a look at his body, and then left with the steamed fish.

Today Qihou was in the small dormitory, and it was almost time, and it was time for his extra meal, so he heard the eunuch say that Da Situ had come.

Sure enough, a fragrant smell rushed over, with a strong smell of river freshness. Wu Jiao came in with a large steamed fish, which was still piping hot.

Seeing that there was something to eat, Qihou knew that Wu Jiao was making it for Qu Wan, but there was no difference, because Qu Wan didn't eat it at all, he was so tough, Qihou was afraid that he would eat it, and he couldn't eat it himself.

Qi Hou ate the steamed fish with big mouthfuls. Although there were few fish bones, it was fish after all, and Qi Hou ate it so fast that he almost got stuck. With a "hiss", he said, "Second brother, the fish bone is stuck alone."

Wu Jiu rolled his eyes, thinking that the fishbone was wronged.

Wu Jiao had no choice but to sit down on the side, clamped a piece of the fish, and shaved off the fishbone for Qihou. Qihou was happy now, wishing he could just open his mouth and not even need to pinch it. Wu Jiao just picked it up The sticky fish was dipped in the soup and sent to Qihou's mouth.

Qi Hou ate happily, and Wu Jiao suddenly felt that his boyfriend's strength was really overwhelmed!

Qihou ate what was in the bowl, and then thought of what was in the pot, so he said, "Second brother, what are you going to eat tomorrow?"

Wu Jiu felt helpless immediately, he was thinking about tomorrow's fish before he finished eating today's fish.

Wu Jiao thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow Jiu is planning to make tamales."

When Qihou heard it, he had never heard of it before, and said with a serious look on his face, "Tamaled pork, what is that?"

Tamaled pork is a very nourishing dish, but most people make tamales with too much oil, so it is not convenient for patients to eat.

But Wu Jiu has the confidence that he won't make the steamed pork with so much oil.

After Qihou ate this meal, he looked forward to the extra meal at noon tomorrow, thinking about it in his heart, Qihou who was thinking about it was hungry at night, so he quickly added a supper to satisfy his hunger.

On the third day, Wu Jiao went again and made the steamed pork with flour. Because he was afraid of the oil, the ingredients this time were carefully selected by Wu Jiao. The pork belly with alternate fat and meat, at least five layers of fat and lean meat, the color is very beautiful atmosphere.

Wu Jiao got some more rice, washed it, crushed it, seasoned it, steamed the meat and rice in a pan, forced out all the oil, made the rice soft and rotten, and finally skimmed off the oil again.

Both the meat and rice are moistened with fat and oil, so they are very soft and delicious, but in the end there is not much oily smell, the color looks amber, and the meat slices are clear and neat.

Wu Jiao made steamed pork with rice flour, and went to Qu Wan with it.

Today is the third time, Qu Wan saw that Wu Jiu came again, and every time he brought a dish that he made by himself, and Situ, the majestic master of Qi State, prepared the meals for himself in the dining room, Qu Wan was touched no matter how much of.

After visiting the thatched cottage three times, Qu Wan knew in his heart that the king of Chu was a ruthless person who could even kill his own teacher. What Wu Jiao said was right, but Qu Wan felt that he was from Chu country after all, so he couldn't let go of this piece of land. Heart.

Wu Jiu came three times, and his attitude was extremely sincere, and Qu Wan suddenly felt disheartened.

Wu Jiu put the steamed pork aside, watched Qu Wan's eyes staring at the ceiling, he didn't know what he was looking at, and said softly, "Mr. Qu?"

Qu Wan didn't look at Wu Jiu, but said indifferently: "Big Situ, are you forcing Qu Wan to be a traitor?"

Wu Jiao smiled and said, "No, Jiao didn't force Mr. Qu, and even if Mr. Qu doesn't surrender, this meal is still available."

Qu Wan's eyes fluctuated, and the eyeballs turned red, Wu Jiao didn't expect Qu Wan to cry, he was so scared that he almost panicked, quickly brought a clean handkerchief, and gently wiped away the tears for Qu Wan.

Qu Wan actually cried a lot, because his body was too weak, he passed out directly, almost scared Wu Jiu to death, Wu Jiu just wanted to surrender Qu Wan, he didn't really want to kill Qu Wan, so he hurriedly called Tang Wu over .

It's just too weak, after Qu Wan woke up, he didn't resist too much, and even ate, Wu Jiao hurriedly helped Qu Wan to get up, and personally fed him.

Qihou was sitting in the small bedroom with a smile on his face, waiting for Wu Jiu to come and feed him for afternoon tea. Today's afternoon tea is called steamed pork with rice flour. When he heard that it was meat, Qihou was very happy, and it was a dish he had never eaten before, Qihou I am even more happy, his second brother always has all kinds of dishes in his heart, and he can never finish.

Thinking of this, Qi Hou said in his heart that he would also like to thank Qu Wan for his toughness. If it wasn't for Qu Wan, he wouldn't be able to eat meat porridge on the first day, steamed fish on the second day, and steamed pork with rice flour on the third day.

Qihou was looking forward to it. He waited and waited. Finally, when the eunuch said that Da Situ was coming, Wu Jiao walked in quickly. Qihou greeted him with a smile, and said, "Second brother, steamed pork with rice flour..."

When he said this, he saw that Wu Jiao had nothing in his hands, he was a little surprised, and said, "Second brother, aren't we eating tamales today?"

Wu Jiu nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, congratulations to your Majesty for getting another good talent. Qu Wan has already agreed to return to Qi State and pledge his allegiance to you."

When Qihou heard it, he felt a "thud" in his heart, and then said, "What about the steamed pork?"

Only then did Wu Jiu say: "Mr. Qu is willing to eat, so naturally Mr. Qu will eat."

Qihou was heartbroken immediately, feeling that his heart was hurting, he was so bent, at first he was disobedient, and he refused to eat when he fed him with his own hands, and even burned the back of his hand, but now he even snatched his steamed pork to eat.

Qi Houxin said, Gu didn't even see the shadow of the steamed pork, and Qu finished eating it?

Qihou suddenly looked unhappy, walked over to Wu Jiu and hugged Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother, you are so cruel, why do you only make tamales for Qu Wan and not for Gu, Gu is not the first to eat two The person who made the tamales made by brother is so sad."

Wu Jiu couldn't stand his aggrieved appearance anymore, so he could only say: "Your Majesty is delighted to have a talent, why don't you go and visit Mr. Qu first? Now, Jiu will go and make a steamed pork dish for you."

Only then did Qi Hou say arrogantly: "What the second brother said, don't play tricks."

Wu Jiu said helplessly, "When did Jiu play tricks?"

Qi Hou and Wu Jiu split up immediately, and went to visit Qu Wan by himself to express the concern of the wise monarch, while Wu Jiu went to the dining room to make the steamed pork with rice flour that Qi Hou's little prince had been thinking about.

Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi was very happy when he heard that the King of Chu was captured alive by the State of Qi, but he was very unhappy when he realized it, because since the State of Qi was deprived of the title last time, it seemed that the State of Qi had begun to disobey discipline.

Coupled with the instigation of those people in the Lu State, the emperor was also afraid that Qihou would really kill the King of Chu. Wouldn't that cause chaos in the world?Chu State can't touch Qi State, can't it also touch Master Luo?

After all, Master Luo is on top of Shen State, and now Shen State is already under the jurisdiction of Chu State.

Hu Qi was very frightened, and immediately asked Shan Zizheng to go to Linzi City. After all, Shan Zizheng was also a frequent visitor, and asked him to escort the King of Chu back and praise and appease Qi State.

Shanzi just understood what Hu Qi meant. Hu Qi wanted to take advantage of the victory to seek peace, and he had no integrity at all. Shanzi was advising Hu Qi. People think that Zhou State is easy to bully, so they must show Chu State some color, so that even if Chu King is sent back to Chu State, Chu State will not be too unscrupulous.

However, Hu Qi had no such plan. He planned to serve the king of Chu with delicious food and drink, just like what Xiong Pei said. Hu Qi planned to entertain the king of Chu well, and then begged his grandpa to tell his grandma to ask the king of Chu to go back to the country of Chu. After all, Hu Qi is timid.

So Shan Zizheng didn't want to be the special envoy, and he contradicted him a few words. Hu Qi was so angry that he wanted to let go of his position as Shan Bo. Qi still asked Shan Zizheng to go to Qi as a special envoy.

Shan Zizheng has no choice. His Shan family has been an official in Luoshi for generations. Shan Zizheng's father is Shan Bo, and his grandfather is also Shan Bo. If it is passed down to his generation, if Shan Zizheng loses the title of Shan Bo, he doesn't feel much at all. Not good, it's just that the family can't bear face.

Moreover, Hu Qi is a small-minded person, and Shan Zizheng was also afraid that Hu Qi would have ambitions for other members of the Shan family, so he had no choice but to go to Qi State again.

Because Hu Qi was afraid that Qihou would kill the king of Chu, he asked Shanzi to rush to Linzi city. When Shanzi was arriving in Linzi city, Qihou and the others came back half a month ago.

The special envoy of the Son of Heaven came from afar, and Wu Jiu, as the Great Situ, was the head of the three lords, so he greeted him in person. Qi Hou didn't want Wu Jiu to go, after all, Wu Jiu and Shan Zizheng had a little scandal, and Qi Hou was a small-minded person. , easy to eat vinegar.

At this time, Cao Ke asked for his order to go with Wu Jiu, and Qi Hou agreed as soon as he heard it, and let the two go to meet Shan Zizheng together.

Shan Zizheng only heard that Situ of the State of Qi greeted him in person, but he never expected that he would meet Cao Ke at the gate of Linzi City.

Cao Ke was dressed in a black court robe, looking sharp and majestic. His narrow eyes were narrowed, making people feel like he was being calculated at any time.

Shan Zizheng saw Cao Ke, and it had been a long time since the incident, but Shan Zizheng was still very embarrassed and guilty, and couldn't lift his head.

Shan Zizheng's team of envoys soon entered the Qi Palace, and Qihou held a banquet to entertain him. This is the third time for Shanzizheng to eat the banquet given by Qihou. In short, every time he has not passed smoothly, he feels that he may be very fond of meals in the future. There is a psychological shadow.

Everyone was seated, there was an extra dish of steamed pork on Qihou's case, which was not on other people's tables, this dish was made by Wu Jiao himself, in order to make up for Qihou's injured "little heart".

Ever since Qu Wan ate Qihou's steamed pork that day, Qihou has never forgotten this steamed pork. After eating it once, it will not work. In an instant, the steamed pork has become Qihou's new favorite. You must eat it every day, and you have eaten it continuously For many days, even today's banquet must be eaten, and if you can't eat it, you will act coquettishly, as if you are hurting your mouth.

After Qihou ordered the banquet to open, he couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and put a pair of steamed meat with rice flour. There were large slices of meat with distinct layers, and a layer of amber rice noodles wrapped on it. The rice noodles were steamed so soft and rotten. As if it was about to melt, the aroma of rice and meat are mixed together, very rich and overbearing, all over the mouth at once, wishing to drill into the throat.

Qi Hou took a bite, and immediately speeded up. He picked up the tamales on the plate with one chopstick after another, just like a chicken pecking at rice. After a few "do-doo-doo", only one-third of the plate of tamales was left in an instant. ...

Wu Jiu looked at the blue veins on his forehead and turned his face away in embarrassment, trying to keep out of sight and out of mind, but when he turned his head, he saw the emperor's special envoy Shan Zizheng at the banquet, and he was also surprised.

Shan Zizheng wanted to express the meaning of the emperor and escort the king of Chu back. Before he could speak, Shan Zizheng was rather stupid and was trying to find a way to speak. When he looked up, he saw Qihou Zheng sweeping a plate like crazy Novel delicacies.

"Swish, swish" a few times, and I saw Qi Hou using chopsticks, as if some kind of advanced martial arts, the speed was extraordinary, astonishingly fast, and there were still a few grains of amber rice hanging from his mouth...

Wu Jiu felt that it was an embarrassment in his heart, and it seemed that he couldn't do the deceitful thing, so he coughed hard.

Only then did Qihou realize that Shan Zi was staring at him in a daze, with a terrified expression on his face, while Qi Hou was not in a hurry, with a calm expression on his face, he put down the chopsticks gracefully, and took a With a clean veil, he wiped his lips lightly. His thin and shaped lips looked sexy and charming, as if he was swaying hair hormones with a light wipe.

For a moment, Shanzi felt that what he saw just now might be a hallucination...

Qi Hou coughed and said with a smile: "Shan Gong, is the food delicious?"

Shan Zi was recovering quickly and said: "Delicious, delicious, Duke Qi spent a lot of money."

Shan Zizheng cupped his hands again and said, "Duke Qi, to be honest with Duke Qi, Zizheng's envoy to Qi State this time, in fact, apart from bringing the emperor's praise, there is another very important thing..."

As he spoke, he seemed to feel that he couldn't continue. After all, this was going to be in front of Qi's civil and military ministers, so he coughed lightly and said hesitantly: "The meaning of the emperor is... that he wants Duke Qi to take the king of Chu captive. , Escorted back to Master Luo, for the emperor to personally dispose of."

"Oh?"

Qihou didn't immediately refuse. Although he knew what Hu Qi wanted to do, he didn't show it immediately.

Qihou said with a smile: "I don't know what the emperor is going to do with the prisoners? Kill them, or dig out their hearts and lungs? Or parade them in the streets?"

When he said this, Shan Zi was almost choking to death, and he was sweating a little. It was indeed autumn, and he was sweating colder than the previous banquets.

Qihou smiled and continued to say: "Originally, the king of Chu and our country of Zhou have an unshakable hatred. The ancestor of the king of Chu killed the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty. Does the emperor still remember it?"

Shan Zizheng knew what he was talking about. King Zhou Zhao was the fourth king of the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, Chu State and Zhou State were fighting against each other. King Zhou Zhao organized a large army to fight in person. Died in Han River.

However, people from the state of Chu said that if King Zhao did not return from his southern tour, he needed to ask Hanshui, regardless of their affairs.

Shanzi was just hearing him mention this matter, feeling very ashamed, and said: "This... the emperor's thoughts, Zizheng did not dare to presume. Hand over the captives to the Son of Heaven."

Qi Hou listened, and then burst out laughing "haha", as if Shan Zi was saying something stubborn.

Shan Zizheng looked ashamed and said, "I don't know why Duke Qi laughed? But what did Zizheng say wrong?"

Qihou smiled and said: "No, it's not that Duke Shan said something wrong, it's just that Duke Shan didn't want to tell the truth. Both Duke Shan and Gu knew it well, and they knew it well. The emperor wanted to escort the king of Chu to Luoshi. , What exactly is it doing?"

When he said this, Shan Zizheng felt even more ashamed.

Qi Hou continued: "I have a few questions, please ask Shan Gong. In the army that accompanied King Zhao to the south, are there any ancestors, ancestors, and clans of Shan Gong? Now our Qi State and the coalition army are risking life and death to capture King Chu alive. Xiong Fei, it’s a shame, but why is the emperor’s attitude so ambiguous? If he handed over the king of Chu to Duke Shan like this, will the king of Chu return to the state of Chu unscathed?”

After Qihou said such a series, Shan Zizheng knew it well, but he had no way to answer it. The Shan family has been enshrined in the royal city for generations, and the Shan family has naturally followed the successive kings of Zhou. It is needless to say that the ancestors accompanied him, but they never returned.

Shan Zi was speechless, his face blushing, but Qi Hou had achieved his goal and said, "Shan Gong, think about it carefully."

Wu Jiu said at this time: "Actually, to tell the truth, the king of Chu is from southern Xinjiang. He traveled a long way to come to our country of Qi. It may also be because he was depressed after being captured, so he often suffered from acclimatization. Although the widow is benevolent and righteous, he tried his best to order the medical officer to heal him, but..."

Wu Jiu didn’t need to confuse the manuscript when he was talking nonsense, what he said seemed to be true, the king of Chu was disobedient to death, at first hearing, not only Shan Zizheng was frightened, but also the whole court of Qi State was almost frightened Civil and military.

But after careful consideration, everyone immediately understood Wu Jiu's words.

Qihou smiled and said: "Exactly, Shan Gong only needs to remember that the king of Chu was not acclimatized all the way. Although he tried his best to treat him, it didn't work. Qi State is also powerless. Now the king of Chu...is dead."

When Shan Zi heard it, he naturally knew that what they said was not true, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but at this time, Qi Hou was already smiling and said: "Shan Gong, think about it, no one wants to kill the king of Chu, But the king of Chu refused to accept himself and died, and this death will avenge the great revenge of your clan, Mr. Shan, and the humiliation that our country of Qi has feared for the Chu people for many years, so why not do it?"

Shanzi was breathing a little short of breath, and seemed to be thinking intensely. He had never done anything against the will of the emperor. Shanzi was thinking for a long time, and his face became more and more gloomy, like a creeping beast , In the end, he didn't speak, just raised his glass and toasted Qihou a glass of wine.

Qi Hou smiled back and said: "Shan Gong understands righteousness deeply, and I respect Shan Gong even if I am alone."

In fact, even if Duke Shan refuses to agree today, Marquis Qi does not intend to hand over the king of Chu to Hu Qi. Hu Qi.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone was a little bit tipsy, probably because Shan Gong was persuaded today, so the officials of Qi State were a little excited and drank a lot. The case seems to be falling asleep.

Qihou looked at it, stretched out his hand to call Ziqing and Tang Wu, and said: "You help Da Situ go to the small bedroom to rest, if you have something to do, come as soon as you go."

It was inconvenient for the two of them to ask where Marquis Qi was going, but they nodded in response and said, "Yes."

The two quickly helped Wu Jiu up, and first sent Wu Jiu, who was drunk, to rest in the small dormitory. Qi Hou got up and left, but took an eunuch with him, and walked outside the banquet, and quickly disappeared. Because the night was very dark, Qi Hou was dressed in a pitch-black robe again, and he immediately blended into the night.

Qi Hou came to a seemingly remote palace, but it was guarded by heavy soldiers. It turned out that this was the place where Qi State put King Xiong Pei of Chu under house arrest.

Qi Hou asked the eunuch to hold the lamp, waited outside, and walked in by himself. Although it was quiet, every step was guarded by the Tiger Army, which was very strict.

Qi Hou walked in step by step, and soon a tiger and ben army pushed open the gate of the palace, and the king of Chu, Xiong Pei, was locked in the palace.
