No correction

There was a group of people kneeling in the main hall, only a few people were left standing sporadically, Wu Jiao looked down at the crowd, and glanced at the few people who didn't kneel down with a smile.

Baoshen is one of them. One of Baoshen's plans is very simple, that is, on Wu Jiu's way to the banquet, take advantage of Wu Jiu's lack of troops and horses, and intercept Wu Jiu. However, the plan has not been successful. With so many people and strangers, Zuo Sima's head moved instantly.

Baoshen felt reconciled, he didn't really want Wu Jiu to take the position, if Wu Jiu really took the position, Baoshen felt that his days would probably be over.

But seeing all the courtiers kneeling down, if they didn't kneel again, they would be ignorant of current affairs, so Baoshen quickly unfolded the sleeves of his official robe, knelt down, and shouted together with the crowd.

Baoshen's kneeling like this is very important. Although Baoshen's status is not as good as before, he is still Ling Yin and the teacher of King Xiong Pei of Chu. All the people were very sure of his influence, so when they saw Baoshen kneel down, the few other sporadic people also started to kneel down one after another.

In the end, all the people in the main hall knelt down, and Wu Jiao was condescending, stretched out his black sleeves, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite, you love me, let's all be flat."

When he said this, he looked quite dignified and didn't panic. In fact, he learned it completely from Qihou, and he would naturally get used to it after reading a lot, so he wouldn't be caught blind when it really came to use.

Standing on the steps, Wu Jiu watched all the ministers get up and go back to their seats to sit down. Everyone stopped talking to each other, so he said with a friendly smile on his face: "Now that the widow is returning to the country to take the throne, there are two things to do. , you need to do your best to complete it..."

As soon as everyone heard it, good guy, Wu Jiu didn't see anyone at all, he just changed his mind and became a widow after being bowed down by everyone.

In that era, the princes generally called themselves "solitary", and the king would call himself a widow. Although the emperor of Zhou was the emperor, he was not unified, so he was still the king of Zhou, so he also called himself a widow. At the end of the Warring States period, Yingzheng unified the six countries. After ascending the throne, the widow was changed to "zhen".

Wu Jiu looked at the crowd with a smile on his face, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, some people were very unwilling, but they were all frightened by Wu Jiu's dismounting, and no one wanted to be such an early bird.

Wu Jiu raised his index finger and shook it, and said: "The first thing to do is to convene a court meeting today, and I have ordered Yin to inform that the matter is of great importance. Those who participate in the court meeting in the future, and those who do not ask for leave in advance, will all be dismissed and investigated. .”

As soon as his words came out, the hall finally couldn't help making a noise for a while, and everyone panicked. One-third of the ministers who didn't come to the court meeting were people who didn't take Wu Jiao seriously, and these people, There is no shortage of high-ranking and powerful people. The higher the ranking and the more powerful, the more Wu can't afford to be wronged, so he doesn't come to court.

If Baoshen hadn't informed about the court meeting this time, it is estimated that Baoshen would not come to the court meeting. When Wu Jiu blamed him, he would say that he was sick, and it would be an afterthought.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that this wishful thinking was wrong. When Wu Jiu opened his mouth, everyone was shocked, and everyone started talking.

Baoshen rolled his eyes for a long time, and then he heard Wu Jiu say: "I will leave this matter to Lord Ling Yin. Ling Yin is the Taibao chosen by Wang's father, and Ling Yin was conferred by Wang's brother. He is a first-class capable minister of our state of Chu, I entrust Lord Ling Yin to handle this matter, shouldn't I disappoint you?"

Baoshen also wanted to remonstrate, after all, this group of people also had his own disciples, but before he could speak, he was blocked by Wu Jiu, not only that, but the words were very nice, and he praised Baoshen.

Wu Jiu praised Baoshen for two purposes. The first purpose is to make Baoshen relax his vigilance. Baoshen was scheming, so Wu Jiu deliberately praised Baoshen so much to confuse Baoshen's sight.

The second is to confuse the eyes of other high officials. Baoshen's status in Chu State is far higher than that of Wu Jiu, an outsider. Baoshen also has many hostile factions. In terms of words, he must have thought that Wu Jiu had a lot of trust in Baoshen, so he was using Baoshen.

Baoshen had no choice but to kowtow and say, "Thank you for your trust! Baoshen will do his best to fulfill my king's order!"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Ling Yin is too out of touch, please get up."

He said, then raised two fingers to signal, and said: "The second thing is about the succession of the widow. Now that the state of Chu is in trouble, the widow should do his best. Although the widow is the orthodox of the Chu state, But it is also very important to be honest and honest, and from today on, we will immediately post signs of sacrifices and enthronement ceremonies, distribute invitations widely, and let the world know that we invite the princes to come to our capital of Ying.”

As he said this, everyone looked around again, because Wu Jiu showed up on the first day, and he looked quite vigorous, so everyone didn't want him to be enthroned. Life is over?

Therefore, although everyone said yes verbally, they were thinking about something in their hearts.

Before Wu Jiu could become the legitimate king of Chu, two important steps were needed. The first was to offer sacrifices to the ancestors so that Wu Jiu’s name could be returned to the Chu family tree, and the second was to enthronement ceremony. Do some tricks.

Wu Jiao knew what they were thinking, he could tell by looking at their eyes, they all looked old and cunning, but Wu Jiao was not too worried, and said with a smile: "Do you have anything else you need to report?"

Everyone was silent, so Wu Jiu stood up and said, "Let's go."

As he said, he turned his head and walked into the inner hall, because many eunuchs and maids had heard about the head rolling in the main hall of the bedroom on Cailu, after all, it was Zuo Sima who died.

Many official positions in the state of Chu are different from those in the state of Qi. There is a big Sima in the state of Chu, and there are left and right Sima under the big Sima. The ancients respected the left. The big Sima was killed in the four armies. Naturally, he was the biggest person in control of the military power in the Chu Kingdom, but his head was cut off in one fell swoop. Could everyone not be afraid?

Those eunuchs and court ladies also thought that Wu Jiu couldn't afford it, but now they are afraid that they will anger Wu Jiu and be beheaded.

Wu Jiu walked into the inner hall and found that there were many more eunuchs and court ladies than before, everyone bowed their heads tremblingly and greeted Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiu walked over with a smile on his face, seeing the eunuchs and maids trembling, that feeling...seems pretty good.

Wu Jiao walked into the inner hall and walked along the inner hall to the small bedroom. He didn't see Qihou all the way, and he didn't know where Qihou went. Just as Wu Jiu stepped into the small bedroom, he was suddenly hugged from behind. up.

Wu Jiu was taken aback by "Hey!", turned his head and saw that it was Qi Hou, Qi Hou smiled, picked him up, strode inside, and then took Wu Jiu to sit on the mat, smiling. He said, "Second brother alone, did you really have a style just now?"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Didn't you go to school with Jun?"

Qihou also smiled, and said: "Second brother Bingxue is smart, he was born with a delicate heart, and he can learn it as soon as he learns it."

Wu Jiu said, "And Lai Junshang is good at teaching?"

Qihou smiled, stretched out his hand to gently twist Wu Jiao's black robe, the gorgeous robe is made of silk, very smooth to the touch, raised his eyebrows and said: "Second brother is now the king of Chu, and you should return to the king. I am afraid that if someone who is interested listens to it, it will cause unnecessary trouble, why not change the name? It should be more intimate."

Wu Jiu asked suspiciously, "What's the name?"

Qihou didn't joke at all, and said with a gentle and sexy expression, "Why don't you call Gu's name, Xiaobai?"

"puff……"

Unexpectedly, the charming atmosphere suddenly disappeared. After all, there was a generation gap problem. Qi Hou didn't mean to be cute, and he didn't think his name was cute, but when Wu Jiao heard this, he burst out laughing.

Wu Jiu didn't know if his smile was too low, but when he saw Qi Hou's evil face and his hormonal aura making him call him Xiaobai, Wu Jiu couldn't help but want to laugh.

Marquis Qi didn't know how to provoke Wu Jiu, but he even made the beautiful woman laugh endlessly. Wu Jiu rolled on the table, his crown fell off, his black hair fell out, very messy, he was sweating from laughing, and his black robe was half-loose hanging up, wishing to reveal the white and obscene clothes inside.

Seeing this scene, Qihou couldn't help his heart thumping violently, but when his heart was palpitating, his eyelids also twitched violently. Seeing Wu Jiu's smile, he had bad intentions, it was definitely not a "kind" smile.

Wu Jiu laughed for a while, his stomach hurt, and then he gradually got better, feeling that if he laughed again, his abdominal muscles would come out.

Wu Jiu wiped away the physiological tears from laughing, then got up from the mat, stretched out his hand to hook Qi Hou's chin with a smile, and said, "Xiaobai?"

Qi Hou's eyelids twitched even more. Although Wu Jiao was indeed calling his name, it sounded the same, but Wu Jiao's smile made Qi Hou very nervous, and he always felt that Wu Jiao had some deep meaning.

The two quarreled for a while, but soon things came up. Wu Jiu had just entered Chu, and a lot of things were waiting for him, especially the reconstruction after the war. It didn't hit Chu, but Chu consumed a lot of military and financial resources, as well as various losses caused by internal strife and fighting, which also needed to be resolved by Wu Jiao.

In addition, the officials of Chu State and Qi State are different, and Wu Jiu also needs to learn more, so he is very busy.

The two major events of ancestor worship and succession are waiting for Wu Jiu, ancestor worship is an internal matter of Chu people, and worship must be done before succession, so it has been mentioned on the agenda, although succession is after ancestor worship, But because Wu Jiu planned to ascend the throne quickly, it wasn't too far away, and invitations have been distributed widely to entertain princes from all over the world.

Compared with the interior of Chu State, the response from the outside of Chu State is still very smooth. After all, Wu Jiu was the chief disciple in Qi State before, and his reputation is already very loud. Countries such as Song State, Zhu State, and Xing State responded immediately and followed closely. For countries like Cai Guoxi, Chen Guo, Zheng Guo, etc., who wanted to seek benefits from Qi, they naturally responded quickly, so many countries rushed to reply, some monarchs personally participated, and some monarchs sent envoys to come join.

Even the emperor Lu Gongju sent a reply, saying that they would attend as scheduled. In fact, they came to participate, not to congratulate, but to watch the fun. Hu Qi had already contacted Baoshen, and Wu must not be allowed to Corrective enthronement.

Wu Jiu has been very busy these days, wishing he could sleep for an hour or two a day, he was about to fall asleep looking at the bamboo slips, Qi Hou felt very sorry for Wu Jiu's body, but he is the king of Qi, and he also helps No matter what Wu corrected, the more he helped, the more people would be dissatisfied.

Qi Hou asked Tang Wu to boil some tonics for Wu Jiao. Wu Jiu took a bowl of tonics every day, and with the continuous rotation, the weather turned out to be hotter, and he felt like he could spit out fire, either fire or nosebleeds...

It has not been long before the sacrificial ceremony. Wu Jiu was busy with state affairs, but he was also busy with the sacrificial ceremony. On this day, the eunuch came to tell Wu Jiao that the craftsmen had brought the clothes for the sacrificial ceremony. Please ask Wu Jiu Go and try to see if it fits, it's already in the small bedroom.

Then Wu Jiu hurried back to the small bedroom with Ziqing and Tang Wu, intending to try on the clothes and sleep for a while after trying on the clothes, he was too tired to sleep.

Wu Zheng was walking back, and at the entrance of the small bedroom, he met many people. Zhaohu and Pingquan were at the entrance of the small bedroom. Zhaohu was wearing a white shirt with a sword on his waist. The son didn't feel weak, two people blocked the door of the bedroom, and there were many doctors at the door.

Seeing this scene, Wu Jiao frowned, not knowing what kind of trouble the officials of Chu State were looking for, so he walked over slowly and said, "Where did this come from? At the door of the widow's bedroom, they planned to gather a crowd to fight Is it?"

Wu Jiu's sudden appearance frightened the officials of the Chu State, and the officials saluted Wu Jiu one after another, and then said, "My lord, Zhaohu and Fengquan are officials from the State of Qi, not from our State of Chu. It is too dangerous for the two of them to freely enter and leave our palace of Chu State, so I ask my king to make a decision!"

When Wu Jiu heard it, he really was looking for trouble when he had nothing to do, and he was looking for trouble again, but he just smiled on his face and said: "Doctor Qing is wrong, isn't Master Ling Yin also from the state of Chu? Strictly speaking." Said, Master Ling Yin is from Shen Guo, and now that Shen Guo has returned to the country, Master Ling Yin is still Master Ling Yin, not only that, he is deeply entrusted by the king's father, he is the master of the king brother, and the leader of our Chu country's foundation By……"

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether he is from Chu, what matters is whether he is loyal, right, gentlemen?"

Everyone was interrupted by Wu Jiu for a while, and Wu Jiao cleverly carried Baoshen out, and the senior officials couldn't help Baoshen to talk, so they ran away in disgrace.

Only then did Wu Jiu heave a sigh of relief, feeling exhausted to death, flicked his black sleeve robe, sneered, and quickly entered the small bedroom.

When Wu Jiu walked in, he saw Qi Hou sitting inside drinking tea, seeming quite relaxed.

Wu Jiu had already turned around, and Qi Hou was fine because he was on "holiday".

Seeing Wu Jiu walk in, Qi Hou said with a smile: "Second brother is getting more and more imposing, quickly ask Gu to take a look, are you mad?"

Wu Jiao laughed angrily, and said, "Why do I feel that Your Majesty has grown stronger these days?"

Qihou looked at himself and said with a smile, "Is there any?"

Wu Jiu walked over, but he didn't sit down, but looked at the neatly folded clothes on the case, ready to change into them.

Seeing that Wu Jiu took off his black robe, Qi Hou gave Ziqing and Tang Wu a look, and the two retreated knowingly, closing the palace door.

Wu Jiu took off his outer robe, Qi Hou stood up, helped him throw the outer robe aside, and then put on the luxurious ritual robe for sacrifice.

Because the weather is getting warmer every day, the gown is made very light and thin, soft and slippery. Once Wu Jiao put it on, he outlined a slender figure, which looked very imaginative.

The black robe set off Wu Jiu's aloof temperament, and the neat collar was full of austere beauty. A conflicting sexiness lingered around Wu Jiao, making him look attractive.

Qihou smiled, stretched out his hand to help him tidy up his clothes, and said while tidying up, "Second brother, the sacrificial ceremony is coming soon, I'm not too worried, so I have sent someone to take a look, I didn't expect to find it after this look. A little bit of trouble, but don't worry, second brother, Gu has been taken care of for you, and second brother is at ease to worship the ancestors."

Wu Jiu glanced at Marquis Qi and said, "Jiao can handle it by himself."

Qihou smiled and said: "No, Second Brother is so tired every day. Gu will feel distressed when he sees it. Naturally, he has to share his worries and solve problems for Second Brother. How can Gu have the heart to make you tired? Isn't it?"

As he spoke, he picked up Wu Jiu, Wu Jiu let out a cry of surprise, Qi Hou moved very quickly, the robes he had just arranged were pressed down on the couch, and fell apart in a flash.

Wu Jiu was startled for a while, seeing Qi Hou's ferocious look on his face, he said with a smile: "Didn't your lord say that you don't want to be tired?"

Qihou smiled, his voice hoarse to the extreme, and said: "I won't tire the second brother, the second brother only needs to be so honest, and leave the rest to Gu, how about it?"

Because Wu Jiu was very tired these days, he drank the tonics sent by Tang Wu every day, wondering if he had gotten enough tonic, obviously he should have a good sleep at this time, but he couldn't refuse Qihou for no reason.

Qi Hou narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Jiao, whose black robe was scattered on the bed of the King of Chu. Wu Jiu was wearing the court robe of the King of Chu. This made Qi Hou even more excited, as if his blood was boiling, and said with a light smile : "Let me serve my king?"

Hearing Qihou's voice, Wu Jiu tightened his throat and his voice became hoarse, and said with a smile: "You have served me well, I will reward you."

Qihou laughed and said, "Of order."

However, his actions were not as calm as his voice, as if he wanted to be like a wild beast trying to kill its prey.

Qi Hou quickly removed Wu Jiu's crown, gently combed his smooth long hair, and then "snapped" the buckle on the luxurious court robe, and the black silk fell like a black waterfall in an instant. Looking at it, Qi Hou's throat tightened even more.

It's just that at this moment, Zhao Hu suddenly heard a loud voice, saying, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

Zhaohu had one king, one king, and he didn't know what to call it. He quickly ran in from the outside, and the two people inside were almost naked. Hearing Zhaohu's loud voice, Qi Hou was almost frightened, and quickly He pulled up Wu Jiu's court robe and put it on Wu Jiu.

When Zhao Hu rushed in, he saw those two people sitting on the couch, Wu Jiu's blackness had spread out, the scene was really charming, and Qihou next to him was so dark-faced that he wanted to kill someone.

When Zhao Hu saw it, he hurriedly turned his head to cover his eyes, he didn't expect to see such a scene, he was extremely embarrassed, but Dong Guoya, who followed in, didn't have any embarrassment, but arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty , there is a doctor outside asking to see the king, it seems to be a very urgent matter."

Qihou said angrily, "What's the big deal?"

Dong Guoya said, "It should be about Baoshen."

When Wu Jiu heard this, he narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hands to straighten his hair, and said, "Please come to the outer hall, I will be there in a while."

Dong Guoya cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

As he said that, he turned around and walked out, Zhao Hu quickly covered his eyes and chased after him, grabbed Dong Guo Ya's sleeve, and whispered: "You are thick-skinned enough, you are not embarrassed at all."

The two ran out while whispering, leaving Qi Hou staring blankly.

The "Dragon Bed" scene that had been planned for a long time slipped away like this, and Qihou felt as if his heart was about to bleed, but he heard that it was about Baoshen, so Qihou also knew it was not a trivial matter, so naturally he would not correct Wu. , got up first, and said: "Then I will serve my king's hair?"

Wu Jiu saw that he was quite active in his performance, so he asked Qihou to comb his hair. He quickly combed his hair, then took off the court robe, carefully folded it and put it aside, and waited for it to be used when offering sacrifices. .

After Wu Jiu tidied up, he walked out of the inner hall and came to the outer hall of the small bedroom. Naturally, there was also Qi Hou who was like a bug.

When the two of them went out, they saw a young man in his twenties standing in the hall, waiting for him. The young man was slightly bent over, with a humble and dutiful expression on his face. A glance at him showed that he was very knowledgeable about current affairs. However, it is not the case, it seems that the pedantic arrogance of the literati is still in the bones, and it is really hard to tell what kind of conflict.

The young man looks very ordinary, his forehead seems to be a little wider, his eyes are a little narrow and narrow; It feels very mean, but also shrewd.

As Wu Jiu walked out, he secretly looked at this person. This person's face was not good, and he couldn't find it in the crowd. He was not like Tong Shang and Fengquan. He was a handsome man at Fengquan's age He is not young anymore, but after shaving his beard, he is still a very handsome and handsome man, which surprises people.

I don't know if it's because there are too many good-looking people around Wu Jiu, so when Wu Jiu looked at this young man, he seemed to feel that he was quite kind.

Seeing Wu Jiu coming in, the young man hurriedly knelt down and bowed, saying, "Pan worshiped my king, my king Wannian, and Pan Chong also met Duke Qi."

Pan Chong...

When Qi Hou saw this young man, he felt that he looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but at this moment, when he heard him say his name, he immediately remembered that the young man in front of him was actually Pan Chong!

In his previous life, the Marquis of Qi had often heard Pan Chong's name, and it was like a thunderbolt. Pan Chong was also ordered to be an envoy to Qi, but at that time Pan Chong was already a white-haired old man, not as young as he is now.

Today's Pan Chong is about 20 years old. He has just reached the age of the crown. He is very young. In the court of Chu State today, Pan Chong has no place to stand. Who would have imagined that the current Pan Chong is What about the capable minister who will help King Zhuang of Chu, one of the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, carry out his hegemony in the future?

Pan Chong is very tolerant and insidious. King Xiong Pei of Chu had two sons in history, and they were born to Mrs. Taohua. Therefore, Xiong Pei, king of Chu, never had time to give birth to a son.

There is no such thing as King Chu Mu and King Chu Zhuang.

In history, King Chu Mu, that is, the grandson of Xiong Pei, was a king who killed his father and usurped the throne. Because King Chu Cheng loved his concubine in his later years and wanted to abolish the long order, King Chu Mu was extremely dissatisfied.

At that time, King Chu Mu was very young, so he asked his master what to do, and King Chu Mu's master was the famous Pan Chong.

Pan Chong didn't show the mountains or dew the water all the time, but asked King Chu Mu two questions. He asked King Chu Mu, can you assist your brother to be the King of Chu?King Chu Mu replied that of course he could not.Pan Chong asked again, are you willing to flee to other countries, and King Chu Mu replied naturally that he would not.

So Pan Chong asked the third question, asking King Chu Mu if he dared to launch a coup.

This master, Pan Chong, was ruthless and resourceful. He not only assisted King Chu Mu, but even after the death of King Chu Mu, he also assisted King Chu Zhuang, the son of King Chu Mu and one of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, at an advanced age.

King Chuzhuang was not yet 20 years old when he succeeded to the throne. As a result, many people refused to accept it and launched coups frequently. Pan Chong sent troops to suppress it. How important it is to Chu State.

It can be said without hesitation that Pan Chong single-handedly directed Chu's grand plan and hegemony...

Wu Jiu had also heard of Pan Chong's name. Although he didn't know the details, Wu Jiu knew that Pan Chong helped King Mu of Chu kill the king and ascend the throne.

Pan Chong is a young man now, and judging by his official uniform, he has no rank, and he seems to be unknown.

Wu Jiu knew that Pan Chong was a powerful person, so he treated him with courtesy and said with a smile, "Ai Qing, please sit down."

Pan Chong was a little flattered, because before he finished explaining why he came, Wu Jiao treated him with such courtesy. Pan Chong took a look at Wu Jiao, thanked him and sat down.

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "I don't know why Ai Qing came here?"

After sitting down, Pan Chong spoke surprisingly, and said lightly, "Come here for my king's country."

When Wu Jiu heard this, he said, "Good guy, when a capable person or a stranger speaks, his tone is not small.

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Oh? Then I still need to ask for advice carefully?"

Pan Chong immediately cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare to ask for advice. Pan Chong is an unknown soldier. It is a good fortune to meet my king, and my king treats him with courtesy. How can he dare to ask for advice?"

Pan Chong spoke in an orderly manner, and he introduced himself. It turns out that Pan Chong is not a senior official now. No wonder Wu Jiu has never seen him, and he will not go to court. A small captain of the Chinese Guards.

In fact, that day Baoshen and Zuo Sima were preparing to ambush Wu Jiu, and they were leading Pan Chong's team. Pan Chong's team was well-known in the palace, well-trained and very organized, so they were chosen.

But when Pan Chong heard that this was the case, he hesitated, so he excused himself by being ill. Zuo Sima and Baoshen were very angry, so they blamed Pan Chong for being ignorant of current affairs, and Zuo Sima personally led troops to ambush Wu Jiu.

Seeing it now, Pan Chong was indeed a man of discernment, because if Pan Chong led an army to ambush that day, then the person whose head was cut off by Zhaohu's sword would be Pan Chong.

Pan Chong escaped the catastrophe and felt that his actions were correct, but Baoshen was frightened and blamed Pan Chong, who received a lot of punishment.

When Wu Jiu heard it, it turned out that it was a matter of infighting. Pan Chong surrendered because he was dissatisfied with Baoshen's punishment and his actions.

I have to say that this Pan Chong is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, and his eyesight is really sharp. In the current turbulent situation in Chu State, everyone is not optimistic about Wu Jiu, but Pan Chong is optimistic about Wu Jiu.

Pan Chong cupped his hands and said: "Pan Chong has brought sincerity to my king this time."

Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Oh? What sincerity? Guess, it must be about Baoshen's shortcomings?"

Pan Chong smiled. I didn't expect Pan Chong, a cold person, to look so good-looking when he smiled. He didn't look like a passer-by, but his eyes always narrowed and his mouth always pursed. Once he smiled, the corners of his eyes opened, and his lips Also tilted up, the whole person seems to be an unpolished jade, just like He's Bi.

Wu Zheng was surprised, and felt that Qi Hou pinched his leg, which startled Wu Jiu, and when he looked sideways, Qi Hou was acting cute again, looking at him with an aggrieved expression, as if he was a heartless scum male like...

Wu Jiu quickly looked away, Pan Chong said with a smile: "My king is wise, that's exactly the case."

Pan Chong paused and said: "A few months ago, Chong was in charge of leading troops on patrol, and saw the emperor's envoys rushing into the palace."

Wu Jiu was surprised and said, "An envoy from the Son of Heaven?"

Pan Chong nodded and said: "It is the envoy of the emperor. The envoy of the emperor met Ling Yin after entering the palace. It was just a secret meeting. Chong didn't know what they said, but Chong knew that the envoy had a letter in his hand. It must be handed over to Ling Yin, and on the second day after the envoy left, Ling Yin ordered to welcome our king back to the country."

When Wu Jiu heard this, he squinted his eyes. Isn't Zhou Tianzi and the state of Chu at odds with each other? Why did they suddenly send envoys?Moreover, he also met Baoshen in secret. At that time, Baoshen had been tense and did not want to welcome Wu Jiu back to the country. Unexpectedly, after meeting the envoys of the emperor, Baoshen would immediately agree to welcome Wu Jiu back to the country. There must be something in it Small way.

Qi Houye frowned and said, "What did the emperor's envoy say, only Baoshen knows?"

Pan Chong smiled and said, "Back to Duke Qi, it was like this."

Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "This is?"

Pan Chong nodded and said: "Yes, it is true that the envoy of the Son of Heaven met Ling Yin in secret, so no one else knew what he said, and neither did Chong. It was just yesterday that because of the sacrificial ceremony, Official Chong You was reinstated, and Lord Yin also issued an order concerning my king... and Duke Qi."

Qihou smiled and said, "There is still such a thing as being alone?"

Pan Chong nodded, and Qihou said, "Let's hear it..."

Pan Chong sat in the small dormitory for a while, then hurriedly got up and left after speaking, Qihou narrowed his eyes and said, "That old man Baoshen!"

Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to get angry. Since we already have Pan Chong surrendered, why don't we follow the plan and catch Baoshen."

Qihou nodded and said, "Second brother is right."

The sacrificial ceremony will be held soon, because of the haste, this ceremony may be the least extravagant in the history of Chu, but Wu Jiao doesn't care, it's just a formality.

Wu Jiu changed into the court robes he had prepared long ago, and put on the crown, because today is a sacrificial event, which is an internal activity of the Chu people, so naturally he cannot let Marquis Qi follow. , if you go out, you must take someone with you. Although Qihou is not bad at work, but now is the most dangerous time. Including Qi Hou.

Qi Hou smiled and reassured him, just as Wu Jiu left the small bedroom, Qi Hou immediately left the small bedroom too, going for some unknown reason...

The place of sacrifice is not in the palace, but there is a palace dedicated to the ancestors. The sacrificial team needs to start from the palace, pass through Yingdu, and arrive at the palace of sacrifice. Along the way, there are hundreds of officials and common people to greet them.

Wu Jiu came out of the dormitory and greeted the high officials first. Today, Baoshen was also waiting early, and he was extremely attentive.

Wu Jiao recalled the little trouble that Marquis Qi had mentioned earlier, because Marquis Qi was afraid that there would be problems with the sacrifice, so he was not at ease, so he sent someone to investigate early, and he saw the little trouble.

This man Baoshen was really disturbed, he actually had someone saw off the girder in the sacrificial palace, and hung it on the top of his head, just short of a blow, that position is where the kings of Chu of all dynasties stood. It was discovered that when Wu Jiu stood there, Baoshen would ask people to do some tricks, and even make the music louder, then the beam would be shaken down, and Wu Jiu would be smashed into a pulp.

Baoshen thought very well, but he didn't know that Marquis Qi was very suspicious, so he had someone sneak a look at it, just in time to see those people making moves, so he had already told Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiu had some preparations in his heart, and then thought of Pan Chong's words later, Baoshen's plan was really repeated one after another, for fear that Wu Jiu's death would be impenetrable.

When Wu Jiu saw Baoshen, he smiled lightly, walked over with a friendly face, and said with a smile, "Lord Ling Yin."

Baoshen hurriedly bowed to Wu Jiu, only felt that Wu Jiu was very considerate today, wondered if it was because the matter that would be settled after the sacrifice made Wu Jiu so happy, anyway, Wu Jiao was very gentle and friendly today.

Wu Jiu and Baoshen chatted politely for a while, others also noticed it, and thought that Wu Jiu trusted Baoshen very much and was going to board the carriage soon.

Wu Jiu, please support him with the quilt, stretched out his black sleeve robe, and slowly boarded the car. The court robes for worship are much more luxurious and complicated than usual. , while secretly worrying, what should I do if I stumble on this piecemeal?

As soon as Wu Jiu got into the car, someone stretched out his hand to support him. Wu Jiu thought it was the eunuch arranged in the car, but when he looked up, he was shocked, it turned out to be Marquis Qi!

Because it was a sacrificial activity of the Chu State, Qihou's attire was quite different from usual. Qihou actually took off his black court robe and put on the black armor of a Chu State guard.

Qi Hou was already tall and tall, wearing black armor, he looked even more handsome and powerful, he stretched out his hand to support Wu Jiu, seeing Wu Jiu's surprised expression, he gave a low laugh and said, "Welcome to my king?"

Wu Jiu was taken aback, and hastily lowered the curtain of the car, lest the high officials of the state of Chu see Qihou, and didn't let people follow the carriage, and hurriedly ordered people to set off.

The car started moving smoothly, Wu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, while Qi Hou smiled and said, "My king, don't be nervous, no one can tell."

Wu Jiu was surprised and said, "Why did you come here? This is a priest in Chu State. If they knew that you, a member of Qi, had come, wouldn't you be hacked?"

Qihou smiled and said: "I look like this, how can I be from Qi? I am obviously a soldier of Chu State, and the humble general was ordered to protect my king's safety, can't I?"

Seeing that he was addicted to acting again, Wu Jiu felt helpless and said, "You must keep your head down when you go out. I don't know how many people can recognize your face."

Qihou said: "Okay, okay, listen to the second brother."

Wu Jiu was really helpless, but Qi Hou said with a smile: "Second brother, does Gu look good in this way? Does he look like a guard?"

Wu Jiao smiled angrily, and said, "Like a guard? Which guard dares to boldly run to the king's carriage?"

Qihou smiled and said: "The humble general dares not only to run into my king's car, but also to follow my king to worship the ancestors, so that the ancestors of the Chu Kingdom can see that their new king is the humble general's."

Hearing what he said, Wu Jiu said helplessly, "Are you a child? So childish?"

Qihou said again: "Second brother, you look really good dressed like this."

Wu Jiu looked down at his cumbersome long robe. Although he looked handsome and upright, it was really cumbersome to wear like this, and he was afraid of falling when walking.

Qi Hou paused, and whispered in Wu Jiu's ear, "How about helping my king undress?"

Wu Jiu quickly pressed his belt buckle and said, "You are crazy, this is in the car, and you will go to the sacrifice palace in a while, if you take it off, how can you put it on in a while?"
