Chapter 125 Feng Shui turns around (1)
Baili Xi bowed his hands to salute Wu Jiao, Gong Zhiqi was stunned to the side, shocked for a long time, staring at Wu Jiao in a daze, Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Mr. Baili, you don't need to be too polite."
As he was speaking, Baili Xi grabbed Gong Zhiqi who was stunned, and said in a low voice, "Zhiqi, don't be rude, why don't you quickly salute the king of Chu?"
Only then did Gong Zhiqi come to his senses, he was taken aback, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Master Gong Zhiqi of the State of Yu has met the King of Chu."
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Mr. Baili and Doctor Gong are very polite. In the old days, the widow and the two of you had a drink and chat at the posthouse in Juguo. Isn't it the same as today's scene? The widow and the two doctors are indeed destined. Now that I meet by chance, if The two gentlemen appreciate your face, why don't you go and drink a couple of cups with me, how about it?"
When he said this, Gong Zhiqi was even more surprised, and Qihou beside him frowned, with an unhappy expression on his face. He was resting in the post house today. The doctor from Yu State made trouble.
Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi were both famous scholar-bureaucrats in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qihou had experienced some in his previous life, so he had indeed heard about them and knew that they were rare talents. The king of the country is incompetent, so he should be solicited. However, after driving for such a long time, Qi Hou just wanted his second brother to cook him some delicious food.
So Marquis Qi was not happy when he heard that Wu Jiu wanted to entertain Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi, but for the sake of the king's face, Marquis Qi still kept his hypocritical smile...
Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi came here this time entirely because they followed Duke Yu to participate in the alliance. Although Yu State is only a palm-sized territory, Yu State is just west of Zhou State and has a very long history. , so Yu State is a duke country, if it is true, it is more than a head higher than Qihou.
This time Zhou Tianzi wooed other countries to cheer, so naturally he wanted to woo Yu Guo, who was closer to Zhou Guo, to cheer.
In fact, Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi and Duke Yu had already arrived in Shen State, and had lived here for less than half a month. Because Yu State was close to the meeting place, they had already arrived when others were on their way.
After arriving in the State of Shen, I was supposed to rest for a day or two before going to the meeting place. After all, this meeting is a big event, and many countries have sent troops here. Therefore, it is necessary to arrive at the meeting place earlier and make early plans. .
However, after Yu Gong came to Shendi, he did not go to the meeting place immediately. The local Shendi officials gave Yugong several beauties. From then on, Yugong hung out with beauties every day for half a month. Hurry up.
Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi tried to persuade him several times, but it didn't work. Yu Gong lost his temper and blamed Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi for not being considerate of himself. It's still early, if you insist on urging yourself on your way, do you want to exhaust him, the king of Yu Kingdom, to death?
Gong Zhiqi has a bad temper, and he doesn't like it when he hears it. Will he be exhausted to death if he has to hurry?Gong Zhiqi felt that if Duke Yu stayed here again, he might be dragged to death by the beauties. After all, he was old, but he was shamelessly messing around with others.
However, Bailixi was more thoughtful than him, so he quickly dissuaded Gong Zhiqi, and the two of them could only live in the posthouse.
These days, he was in a panic because of his idle time. It happened that Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi were fine, and Yu Gong was still hanging out with beauties, so the two made an appointment to go out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, before he reached the door, he would meet Wu Jiu, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Think about it, time flies by so fast, it really is not my age, it was two or three years ago, when Wu Jiu had just become the son Jiu, and his status was still the second son of the state of Qi, and he failed to win the heir apparent with the Marquis of Qi Afterwards, in order to save his life, and also to hold Zhao Hu and Guan Zhong's life, Wu Jiu entered Qi's dining room and became a cook.
Later, he was promoted to become a great traveler, and came to Ju State, planning to seek Cao GUI who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains. Unexpectedly, in the post house of Ju State, he met Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi, envoys of Yu State who came to Ju State as envoys.
Wu Jiu can still vividly remember the scene at that time. Because Juzi disliked the jade that Duke Yu sent was not beautiful enough, he treated Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi harshly, and asked the officials of the post house to perfuse Gong Zhiqi and Baili with rotten food. Xi.
That scene was seen by Wu Jiu, and Wu Jiu invited them to have a meal, and shared his meal with the two of them.
Everyone didn't expect to meet today. The unfavored son of Qi State changed suddenly today and became the new king of Chu State.
Gong Zhiqi was surprised to see that Wu Jiu wanted to invite them to drink, Baili Xi cupped his hands and said, "This..."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "But the two gentlemen have an appointment? Or do you have some important work to do?"
When he said this, Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi were ashamed, because they had nothing to do, they had been free for many days, and they had nothing else to do except eating, drinking and sleeping.
When he said this, Gong Zhiqi was also very curious about what happened to Wu Jiu, so he looked at Bailixi, and Wu Jiu said with a smile: "If the two gentlemen have nothing important to do, then please do me a favor."
Wu Jiu's attitude was very gentle. If Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi didn't show favor, it would be unreasonable, and the two quickly handed over their hands.
Wu Jiu unfolded his sleeve robe with a smile on his face, made a gesture of please, and said, "Gentlemen, please."
Wu Jiu asked Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi to go first, then turned around and said to Qihou, "Your Majesty, go back to the house first, and you will go to your Majesty later."
As soon as he said that, Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi turned their heads to pay attention to Qihou, a man in black in his thirties, also wearing a black court robe, tall, handsome and majestic, full of aristocratic appearance. momentum.
Seeing Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi sizing him up, Qi Hou said with a smile on purpose: "Second brother invites someone to drink, why not invite Gu? It really makes Gu Hao very sad. No, Gu has to go too."
Qihou acted like a baby in front of people, and Wu Jiu's forehead was jumping when he saw it, because Wu Jiu and Gong Zhiqi Baili Xi had some friendship, but Qihou didn't have it at all, so Wu Jiu felt that taking Qihou's words, drinking It may well turn into entertainment.
Qi Hou insisted on following, and even said some greasy and crooked words, which made Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi look at each other differently. Only then did they realize that this tall and majestic man in black was the famous Qi The king of the country.
As a result, not only Gong Zhiqi, but even Baili Xi, who was always gentle and refined, showed a look of astonishment.
Qi Hou looked at Baili Xi's surprised gaze very proudly, while Wu Jiu wanted to cover his face, but he couldn't complain...
The four of them quickly entered Wu Jiu's house, and Wu Jiao asked Ziqing and Tang Wu to prepare the food and drink. At this time, the servants of the post station brought the food and wine, which was very rich, including wine and meat. Wu Zheng made good use of these Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi were entertained.
Wu Jiu also asked Ziqing and Tang Wu to get some side dishes brought from Chu State, but most of them were pickled vegetables, because it was inconvenient to store them along the way, and Qi Hou ate up all that could be eaten, so only Let's go with these pickles and wine.
Everyone sat down, Qi Hou insisted on sitting next to Wu Jiu, his movements were very intimate, and he even helped Wu Jiu straighten the corners of his clothes that were accidentally pressed under him.
While tidying up, Qihou showed his sovereignty and deliberately said in a gentle voice: "Second brother, look at you, you are still so careless, you have put your clothes under pressure, and I will help you alone."
Wu Jiu looked at it, he felt a headache, Qi Hou was careful, he must be complaining that he let him go back and didn't invite him to drink, so Qi Hou started to go crazy now.
Wu Jiu looked helplessly at Qi Hou, and Qi Hou had successfully attracted everyone's attention. Both Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi looked at Qi Hou in amazement, as if they wanted to know what happened to Qi Hou and Wu Jiu. What is the relationship.
One is the monarch of Qi State, and the other is the new king of Chu State. Qi State and Chu State have always been places that wind horses and cattle can't think of, and they are not friendly countries. Now Qi Hou is so gentle to Wu Jiu, Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi were both surprised and suspicious.
This is what Qihou wants. After he succeeds, he sits down honestly and starts to eat. Qihou's goal is naturally the pickles brought by his second brother. Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi must not eat them all. .
So after Qihou sat down, he drank and ate pickled vegetables, listening to Wu Jiu chatting with Gong Zhiqi Bailixi, he couldn't get in, so he had to throw pickles and wine on the raft.
When Wu Jiu turned his head, he saw Qi Hou finished eating a large bowl of pickled vegetables, his eyeballs almost fell off, and he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't eat too much salty food."
Qi Hou said disapprovingly: "Everything that the second brother cooks is delicious, although it is a bit salty."
Wu Jiao said to himself, can he not pickle the vegetables?What kind of pickles are they called if they are not salty!
Qi Hou hugged the pickled vegetables made by Wu Jiu and never let go of them. Others who ate them dared not touch the plate of pickled vegetables. Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi had to eat the dishes delivered by the posthouse.
After drinking for three rounds, Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi were still silent at first. After all, Wu Jiu is now the king of Chu, and his standpoint is different, but after a few glasses of wine, the conversation started.
Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi suffered a lot of grievances in Yu State. Both of them are talents and unparalleled celebrities in the world, but the king of Yu State is fatuous and incompetent. It was a time when Ji's surname was lonely and foreign surnames were strong, but Duke Yu still didn't know how to make progress and was self-styled. The state of Yu was declining day by day. Both of them saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.
Wu Jiu was very friendly when he spoke, and he listened to Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi with a smile on his face, especially Gong Zhiqi, who drank a little too much after drinking, and he had suffered a lot of grievances recently, so he started to talk slowly. I made complaints about it, and when I talked about it, I became very excited.
Gong Zhiqi held up his wine glass and said angrily, "I hate Gong Zhiqi, I was born at an untimely time!"
Seeing that he was drunk, Baili Xi hurriedly pulled Gong Zhiqi, and said in a low voice, "Zhiqi, you are drunk, let me help you go back first, brother."
Gong Zhiqi was already drunk, so he said without hesitation: "No, no, my brother is not drunk yet, so don't worry, my brother is fine..."
Wu Jiu looked at Gong Zhiqi with a smile, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gong is also a man of temperament, Mr. Baili, don't worry, what we talked about today was drinking, and there are countless things to do. Once you take a break today, you can wake up early tomorrow Forget everything."
Baili Xi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, King Chu."
Wu Jiu said with a smile, "Mr. Baili is too far-fetched."
Everyone drank from dinner until late at night, Gong Zhiqi was finally so drunk that he fell asleep, and Baili Xi was also a little drunk, so he said goodbye and took Gong Zhiqi with him to leave.
Gong Zhiqi was tall, drunk and unconscious, Baili Xi couldn't carry him at all, so he had to coax him gently, Gong Zhiqi stood up in a daze, and was carried away by Baili Xi.
After Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi left, Marquis Qi was also a little drunk. It was really rare that Marquis Qi was drunk but Wu Jiu was not.
It's not surprising that Qihou got drunk, after all, Qihou has been holding a pickle jar to eat, no matter how delicious the pickles pickled by Wu Jiu are, they are still pickles, very salty, and they are called water. When I was thirsty, I wanted to drink water, so I held the wine and drank it.
After eating a sip of wine and a sip of pickles like this, he immediately got drunk. After Gong Zhiqi was drunk, Qi Hou was also drunk and passed out.
After those two people left, Wu Jiu asked Ziqing and Tang Wu to pack away the food and drinks. At this time, Qihou was lying on the table and was thinking about it, muttering: "Mmm... delicious, but too... too salty……"
Wu Jiu burst out laughing with a "puchi", stretched out his hand to pinch the tip of Qihou's nose, and said, "Is the pickled vegetables not salty? Who told you to eat so much, are you drunk?"
Qihou's nose was pinched, he couldn't breathe well, and he said "hmm" twice indiscriminately. Qihou's hair crown has been scattered, and his black hair has fallen down, covering his tough cheeks. Because of the cover of black hair, his appearance is more obvious He is handsome and handsome, without a strong sense of majesty.
Qihou's voice was a little hoarse due to drinking, and he was talking in his sleep, so his voice was very deep and strong magnetic. When he said "um", Wu Jiao felt that his whole body was not well, and suddenly understood what is called wolf blood boiling .
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes, and instead of letting Ziqing and Tang Wu come over to serve him, he let them go to rest, then closed the door, unbolted it, walked back, and carried Qihou onto the couch with great effort.
Qihou was tall and heavy, and in the autumn, Wu Jiu broke out in sweat, and finally carried Qihou up.
Smiling, Wu Jiu stretched out his hand to lift up a lock of Qihou's hair, raised his eyebrows, and kissed him on his lips, then pinched Qihou's chin, made him raise his head, and kissed Qihou's lips, Qi Hou didn't even wake up.
Wu Jiao immediately became complacent, thinking that the wind will turn smoothly, and finally turned to himself, Qi Hou has always made his waist sore and backache, every time he looks at Qi Hou's expression, he seems to be at home, Wu Jiao heart Thinking about it, it's time to have fun this time?
Wu Jiao squeezed Qihou's chin, like a dandy teasing a good woman, and said: "Little Bai, brother will be gentle."
Qihou was sleeping soundly, and his chin was always being pinched, which made him very uncomfortable. He opened his eyes in confusion, and glanced at Wu Jiao. His eyeballs were a little red. Don't look at the sharp face covered by black hair, but one eye , quite majestic.
Wu Jiu was almost frightened for a moment, but Qi Hou obviously drank too much, just looked at Wu Jiao, without any movement at all, as if he fell asleep with his eyes open.
Wu Jiu waited for a while, and seeing that Qihou hadn't moved, he felt relieved and said with a smile, "So it's a paper tiger."
Qihou was dizzy in his head, and his reaction was a little slow. He didn't understand what a paper tiger was, and he didn't know what "paper" meant, so he felt that Wu Jiao had been teasing himself. Wu Jiu teased himself again and again, until the sleepiness was gone.
Wu Correction proudly took back Qihou's clothes, ready to take advantage of Qihou's drunkenness, and enjoy it slowly, but Qihou suddenly turned over and pushed Wu Jiao down with a "boom!", his eyes were red, staring at the blood , with an unbearable look, narrowed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Second brother, are you inviting Gu?"
Wu Jiao was stunned for a moment, what about the paper tiger that he promised, why did the paper tiger suddenly become a real tiger, Wu Jiao instantly turned into a big fat meat under the tiger's claws, it was too late to escape...
Ziqing and Tang Wu came here in the morning. After all, they had to go on their way today, but the door was closed. When they pushed the door lightly, they found that it was locked from the inside and couldn't be opened at all, so they waited outside the door.
When it was three poles high in the sun, the people inside hadn't woken up yet. In the end, Qihou came out first and ordered Wu Ziqingtang to bring hot soup.
Wu Jiu had already woken up, but he was so sore that he couldn't move at all, yesterday was really crazy, Wu Jiu wanted to take advantage of it, but he didn't know that it was him, Qi Hou took enough of it.
Qihou walked in and said with a smile: "Second Brother is awake? Can you hurry today?"
Wu Jiu gave him a blank look, and was supported by Marquis Qi to sit up. After the two of them washed up, they were still ready to set out on the road, and to go to Xingyuan as soon as possible, so that they could make some arrangements, so as not to be caught by others.
Wu Jiu fell asleep again in the car until dusk. After all, yesterday was a miserable day. When he woke up, the sky seemed to be on fire. The vast expanse is very spectacular.
Wu Jiu lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it. He was still asleep, Qihou took a cloak and put it on Wu Jiu's shoulders, and said, "Second brother, put down the curtain, be careful not to catch a cold."
The chariot drove for a while, and soon arrived at the gate of Xingyuan. This time, the meeting was in Shendi, and the king of Shen State was a subordinate of Chu State, so when he saw the king of Chu's chariot, he immediately stood up to greet him. magnificent.
Hu Qi, son of Zhou, arrived early in order to make plans early. Now that he saw the chariot of Chu State, he also stood beside him, not to greet him, but to take a look curiously.
Seeing that the curtain of the car was opened, the first one to come out was not Wu Jiu, the new king of Chu, but Marquis Qi!
Marquis Qi was dressed in a black robe, and slowly stepped down from the carriage frame. The Lord of Shen Guo also had good eyesight, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Duke Qi is polite."
Qihou smiled and bowed his hands to Lord Shen, turning a blind eye to Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi who was standing not far away, turned his head to look at the car, stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the car, and made a gesture of supporting him, and soon he was inside Stretching out a hand, put it in the palm of Qihou, and Qihou helped the people inside to walk down slowly.
It's not that Hu Qi has never met Wu Jiao, on the contrary, he has met Wu Jiao many times, but each time Wu Jiao's identity is different, this time, Wu Jiao's identity has changed drastically.
No one would have thought that Wu Jiu would be promoted all the way from a cook to become the new king of the Chu Kingdom. Wu Jiu today is similar to what he saw a few years ago. It's a difference in temperament.
He was dressed in a black robe and a crown on his head. He looked gentle and fierce, with indescribable contradictions and unity.
The black robe set off Wu Jiu's fair skin, and Wu Jiu's hand rested in the palm of Qi Hou's, which was an unusual match, even a blind person could see it. Qi Hou carefully helped Wu Jiu down, as if Wu Jiu was a That peerless treasure.
Qihou and Wu Jiu got off the chariot, at this moment, they heard the sound of horseshoes, "Tat T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T" Tall, with a handsome face, he was very happy to see Qihou and Wu Jiao, immediately got off his horse, and said excitedly, "Second Brother! Third Brother!"
It turned out that Zhan Xiong had brought Qi soldiers and horses to join forces with the Marquis of Qi. After receiving the order, Zhan Xiong led the vanguard to rush around day and night, and he arrived at Shendi, just in time to see the chariots of Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi.
Zhanxiong hadn’t seen Marquis Qi for a long time, let alone Wu Jiu. After Wu Jiu had been in Chu State for so long, and Zhanxiong had something else to do, he couldn’t see Wu Jiu at all. How could he not see him now? Glad, he hurried over with big strides.
Zhanxiong is also a man of temperament, he rushed over and hugged Wu Jiao directly, and hugged Wu Jiao into his arms.
"Boom!" With a sound, Wu Jiao felt like he had hit a rock, and was almost stunned. For Zhan Xiong's enthusiasm, it was not only Wu Jiao who was stunned, Qihou was also stunned. Although Zhanxiong was the fourth younger brother, he hugged him like this , Qi Hou is still very easy to eat.
Qi Hou hurriedly walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Xiong and Wu Jiao, Zhan Xiong didn't see that Qi Hou was eating, and was still immersed in joy. Although he let go of Wu Jiao, he grabbed his hand, looked hard at him, and said: "Second brother, you must have been exhausted in Chu State, and you have lost weight, but...but it seems to have become better. Second brother really looks good in this dress."
Qihou couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly stopped spreading Xiong's hand, and didn't let him hold Wu Jiu. Although his second brother did look very handsome in this dress, he could only say that.
Over there, Wu Jiu, Marquis Qi and Zhan Xiong were reminiscing about the old days, and Hu Qi, the son of Zhou, was watching with smoke on his head. He was afraid that Marquis Qi would come and help Chu, so he deliberately didn't invite Qi. Who knew there was no invitation, Marquis Qi He still came, not only came, but also openly shared a carriage with the king of Chu, who is close and who is not, can't you tell it at a glance?
Not only that, the three people over there were getting old, Hu Qi was very angry, snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left.
Everyone quickly entered the Xingyuan, and they still had to wait for the monarchs of other countries. When they walked into the Xingyuan, Zhan Xiongben was still following Wu Jiu around, when he heard a sound of "哗啦——", the curtain of the tent next to him was opened, and a man in a black robe The young man walked out from inside, and it turned out to be Song Gongyu said.
Yu Shuo came out early, walked out of the tent, looked at them with a smile, and said, "Yu Shuo said that he heard voices outside, probably the King of Chu and Duke Qi came."
He said, bowing to Wu Jiu and Qi Hou, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou also returned the gift with a smile, that's all, when Song Gongyu said that he had arrived, Zhanxiong's eyes lit up instantly, as if a wolf saw the little boy Fresh meat, Qi Hou is no longer afraid of him pestering his second brother.
Sure enough, Zhanxiong sneaked away quickly, and entered the camp of Song State with Song Gong.
The monarchs of other countries hadn't arrived yet, so they had to wait, so everyone went to Xingyuan to rest. When it got darker, the monarch of Yu Kingdom also arrived. A welcome banquet.
They are meeting in Shendi, and just after Wu Jiu and Qihou left Chu State, some things happened in Chu State...
This time Wu Jiu set off with some Chu ministers, these ministers naturally included the most favored Le Yin Peng Zhongshuang, the great Sima Pan Chong, and Mo Ao's Dou Qi stayed in Chu.
In fact, Wu Jiu has his own reasons for doing this. Although Dou Qi is a Dou family, but Dou Qi's reputation and qualifications are very high, so keeping Dou Qi in Chu State will allow him to take care of Chu State so that Pan will not be left behind. Chong or Peng Zhongshuang, no one listens to what they say, and they will be very distressed if they will not be in charge by themselves.
So Wu Jiu left Dou Qi in command.
However, this action aroused the dissatisfaction of the Dou family. Many people of the Dou family found Dou Bobi, Taishan Beidou of the Dou family, to file a complaint. None of the Dou family members who rejected these complaints were seen.
The Dou family had no choice but to find Dou Qi.
Many people invited Dou Qi to the banquet together, and when Dou Qi came to the banquet, the people from the Dou family were all seated. Looking at the scene, one knew that it was definitely not a simple banquet.
Sure enough, as soon as Dou Qi sat down, many Dou family members began to complain, saying: "Lord Mo Ao, it's not that we said something bad, the current king is too fond of young people, the king looks down on me Dou family, and Zhou Wang Huimeng, for such a big event, you don’t even bring along our Dou family members, even Mo Ao, you don’t pay attention to it, what does that mean?”
Dou Qi didn't speak immediately after hearing this, he knew that the banquet was not easy.
Others said, "That's right. We didn't say it. It's normal for the king to love young people. After all, the king is young, but the king loves newcomers, but he doesn't give us old people alive. This is to force us to fight to death." People at home!"
Dou Qi still didn't speak, and sat on the table with folded arms, everyone looked at each other, and continued: "Master Mo Ao, we are not for ourselves, but for you. Look, you have assisted two generations of Chu kings, and there are hardships as well as credits." Lao, besides, Lord Mo Ao’s credit is much higher than that of Baoshen and Peng Yu, let alone Peng Zhongshuang’s young child! Lord Mo Ao, we are not worth it for you! We are wronged for you ah!"
Dou Qi finally opened his eyes, looked at them faintly, and said lightly: "I know, you go find my brother first."
Dou Bobi is Dou Qi's elder brother, and what Dou Qi was referring to was naturally that they went to find Dou Bobi. When he said this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and dared not speak.
Dou Qi said quietly: "Did elder brother reply you anything?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and because there was no reply, they hurriedly found Dou Qi, wanting to incite Dou Qi, and to do something when the King of Chu had just ascended the throne and was not in Yingdu now.
Everyone didn't speak, looked at Dou Qi, and Dou Qi said indifferently: "The reason why I don't see you is because I want you to be safe. Now that Chu's domestic troubles are greater than foreign troubles, we Chu people should not mess around. After so many Everyone has seen the matter, the King of Chu has his own arrangements, so I can't make random guesses."
Everyone didn't expect that Dou Qi would actually speak for Wu Jiu. For a moment, everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say. You look at me and I look at you. The banquet became very awkward.
Dou Qi stood up silently, and was about to leave the table. Before he left, he left a sentence, saying: "Remember, people from the Dou family are first from the state of Chu, then from the Ruo Ao family, and then from the Dou family... ...If Chu State really ceases to be Chu State, Doujia will no longer exist, you must keep this relationship firmly in your heart."
He said, turned his head and walked away.
The banquet suddenly ended without a problem, and everyone was very embarrassed. They sat silently on the table for a long time, watching Dou Qi throwing his sleeves and leaving, someone suddenly said: "What does Dou Qi mean by this? Do you really regard yourself as the head of the Dou family? "
When he spoke like this, many people began to discuss, and then someone said: "Master Dou, I'm really not worth it for you. Look, you two brothers, the former mighty Dou Bobi, and the former Ling Yin Douqi is now in decline, even the edge is gone, alas!"
They spoke to a person in the banquet, that person was also very luxuriously dressed, sitting next to Dou Qi, his position should be not low, this person is the younger brother of Dou Bobi and Dou Qi, but he is not a real brother, but He is the younger brother in the clan, not too far apart, apart from Dou Bobi and Dou Qi, he is the most honorable, called Dou Liang.
Dou Liang watched Dou Qi leave, and just smiled coldly, and said: "This is also a reasonable thing, after all, my two elder brothers are already old, and they have been in the high position of the Dou family for a long time. , Naturally, I am complacent and do not want to make progress."
Everyone immediately said: "Now the Doujia is in danger, the new king just doesn't like us and wants to bring down our Doujia. Dou Liang, you are the leader of the Doujia. Tell me, what shall we do?"
Hearing what they said, Dou Liang sneered, and said, "You guys said that, I thought of another way. A few days ago, I received a secret letter from Duke Shen..."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Shen State is a subsidiary state of Chu State, the secret letter sent by Duke Shen should also be handed over to Wu Jiu, why did it go to Doujia?And he didn't hand it to the Dou family's Taishan Beidou Dou Bobi, nor did he hand it to the Dou family's current head Dou Qi, but to Dou Liang.
Dou Liang took out the letter and circulated it to everyone. When everyone saw it, they were stunned, and all of them had surprise expressions on their faces.
It turned out that the letter was written by Shen Gong to Dou Liang, wanting to cooperate with Dou Jia.
Although after the battle between Chu State and Qi State, Shen State can be regarded as the restoration of the country, but it is not satisfied with just the restoration of the country, and wants to break away from the control of Chu State. There are still many small countries and a Deng country, so it is not surprising that such ambitions exist.
Hu Qi personally found Lord Shen, and gave Shen a large amount of money for them to rebuild and restore the country. He wanted to bribe Shen Gong. Don’t look at Shen Gong on the surface. In fact, Shen Gong has been taken by Hu Qi He was bribed, so Hu Qi agreed to meet in Shendi, which Wu Jiu and Qi Hou didn't even know about.
For this alliance, Hu Qi wanted to spoil his good deeds. Wu Jiu and Qihou never came back, and they were all killed in Shendi, so he wrote this letter specially and asked Shengong to give it to Doujia, wanting to make a deal with Doujia. Also cooperate, come and cooperate with the outside.
The letter clearly stated that Hu Qi did not want to destroy Chu, but just wanted to develop a good diplomatic relationship with Chu, so as long as they could join forces to kill Wu Jiu, Hu Qi would not send troops to attack Chu.
Hu Qi wants to unite with the Dou family. There is actually a very simple reason, that is, after getting rid of Wu Jiao, he has no way to destroy Chu State. After all, Zhou State’s palm is not that big, but he wants to control Chu State , so Hu Qi thought of Li Ji who was the guardian of Xiong Zi, the former king of Chu.
Although Li Ji's child was lost, they could invent one, who wouldn't tell lies with their eyes open, as long as Li Ji's child was pushed to the throne of Chu, Zhou State could control Chu State.
After Dou Liang received the letter, he was very moved. Now their Dou family's status is in jeopardy. If they get rid of Wu Jiao together with Zhou Guoren, and then help a puppet baby to take over, then the world of Chu State will actually belong to the Dou family.
Dou Liang reached out and knocked on the table, and said: "Now this opportunity is in front of everyone. If you are interested, you can secretly escort Li Ji out of Chu State with me, rush to Shendi, and elect Li Ji's son as Chu State." The new king of the country."
When he said this, the crowd immediately boiled over, and the Dou family went from being prosperous to declining, and everyone couldn't please them, so naturally they had to support this approach.
Some people were still very worried and said, "What if Dou Qi finds out about this?"
Dou Liang sneered, and said: "That's why I said that if you want to escort Li Ji out of the Royal Tomb secretly, you must act cautiously and avoid the sight of Dou Qi and Dou Bobi. As long as you escort Li Ji to Shendi, the whole The Kingdom of Chu is in the palm of our Dou family..."
Wu Jiu didn't know that Lord Shen had rebelled and had accepted bribes from Emperor Zhou. Not only that, Lord Shen also wrote to the Dudou family, talking nonsense with his eyes open, and found a "righteous" heir of Chu, thinking It is necessary to push Wu Jiu down from the position of king of Chu in a logical manner.
At this time, the Shendi Huimeng Xingyuan is holding a grand reception banquet. Although the monarchs of the Huimeng have not yet arrived, but because there are many people, Shen Guoguo, as the host, naturally wants to hold a banquet for everyone.
As the night fell, there were torches everywhere in the shaft, and the lights were brightly lit. Many cases were placed in the empty space, and there were delicious food and wine on display. It's time to start.
When Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi came out, Hu Qi was already sitting. In order to make the banquet look equal and there would be no status disputes, Lord Shen specially arranged the banquet tables end-to-end. Round, so that the status is equal.
Wu Jiu walked over, but Hu Qi didn't greet Wu Jiu, and Wu Jiu pretended not to see him, so he sat down, and Qi Hou also sat down beside Wu Jiu.
Chu State has established itself and is not a subsidiary state of Zhou State, but Qi State is still a state. Qi Hou sat down and didn't seem to see Hu Qi. Hu Qi was immediately upset and coughed several times.
Only then did Qihou say in surprise: "The Son of Heaven has also arrived. Xiaobai didn't see it clearly just now. It's really rude."
Qi Hou pretended to be stupid like this, and Hu Qi had no choice but to grind his teeth, but said with a smile: "Qi Gong is so polite."
They said so, Song Gong Yu Shuo and Zhan Xiong soon came out, and Zhan Xiong chased Yu Shuo like a big dog and ran around. I actually look like this...
In addition to Zhou, Shen, Chu, Qi, and Song, the countries that have arrived now include Yong and the newly arrived Yu.
The King of Yu Kingdom came with his left and right hugs, and he also embraced his left and right arms when he entered the table, with a beautiful woman in his arms. Now this is the first time that the King of Yu Kingdom saw Wu Jiu. As soon as Wu Jiu took the seat, Duke Yu found out Suddenly, his eyes lit up instantly, and he suddenly felt that the beautiful woman in his arms seemed a bit dull.
Although the beauty in his arms is unparalleled, it is much more beautiful than Wu Jiu's face. After all, no matter how handsome Wu Jiu is, he is still a man, not a woman, so there is no way to compare with the beauty, but that temperament, Like the spring breeze in March, it was refreshing, gentle and elegant, with an indescribable elegance, indifferent and distant, and when Duke Yu saw it, he couldn't pull his eyes out immediately.
Duke Yu likes three things in his life, the first is beauties, the second is beautiful jade, and the third is BMW. He likes extremely beautiful things. Now when he sees Wu Jiao, his heart immediately itch, and he is very unbearable.
Duke Yu didn't dare to show his eyes. After all, although the State of Yu is a duke, no one knows that the country surnamed Ji is lonely. Although the State of Chu is in the southern border, far away from the State of Yu, it is very powerful and cannot be provoked by the State of Yu. of.
Yu Gong felt very sorry again, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Yu Gong was sizing up secretly, especially fond of Wu Jiu's slender waist tied in the black robe, he felt a cold gaze suddenly piercing him, Yu Gong raised his head and met Qi Hou's gaze.
Qi Hou was squinting his eyes, slightly raised his chin, and looked at Yu Gong casually. Yu Gong was startled, and hurriedly looked away, almost startled by Qi Hou's expression.
The banquet began soon, and as the host, Lord Shen Guoguo,
As he was speaking, Baili Xi grabbed Gong Zhiqi who was stunned, and said in a low voice, "Zhiqi, don't be rude, why don't you quickly salute the king of Chu?"
Only then did Gong Zhiqi come to his senses, he was taken aback, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Master Gong Zhiqi of the State of Yu has met the King of Chu."
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Mr. Baili and Doctor Gong are very polite. In the old days, the widow and the two of you had a drink and chat at the posthouse in Juguo. Isn't it the same as today's scene? The widow and the two doctors are indeed destined. Now that I meet by chance, if The two gentlemen appreciate your face, why don't you go and drink a couple of cups with me, how about it?"
When he said this, Gong Zhiqi was even more surprised, and Qihou beside him frowned, with an unhappy expression on his face. He was resting in the post house today. The doctor from Yu State made trouble.
Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi were both famous scholar-bureaucrats in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qihou had experienced some in his previous life, so he had indeed heard about them and knew that they were rare talents. The king of the country is incompetent, so he should be solicited. However, after driving for such a long time, Qi Hou just wanted his second brother to cook him some delicious food.
So Marquis Qi was not happy when he heard that Wu Jiu wanted to entertain Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi, but for the sake of the king's face, Marquis Qi still kept his hypocritical smile...
Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi came here this time entirely because they followed Duke Yu to participate in the alliance. Although Yu State is only a palm-sized territory, Yu State is just west of Zhou State and has a very long history. , so Yu State is a duke country, if it is true, it is more than a head higher than Qihou.
This time Zhou Tianzi wooed other countries to cheer, so naturally he wanted to woo Yu Guo, who was closer to Zhou Guo, to cheer.
In fact, Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi and Duke Yu had already arrived in Shen State, and had lived here for less than half a month. Because Yu State was close to the meeting place, they had already arrived when others were on their way.
After arriving in the State of Shen, I was supposed to rest for a day or two before going to the meeting place. After all, this meeting is a big event, and many countries have sent troops here. Therefore, it is necessary to arrive at the meeting place earlier and make early plans. .
However, after Yu Gong came to Shendi, he did not go to the meeting place immediately. The local Shendi officials gave Yugong several beauties. From then on, Yugong hung out with beauties every day for half a month. Hurry up.
Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi tried to persuade him several times, but it didn't work. Yu Gong lost his temper and blamed Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi for not being considerate of himself. It's still early, if you insist on urging yourself on your way, do you want to exhaust him, the king of Yu Kingdom, to death?
Gong Zhiqi has a bad temper, and he doesn't like it when he hears it. Will he be exhausted to death if he has to hurry?Gong Zhiqi felt that if Duke Yu stayed here again, he might be dragged to death by the beauties. After all, he was old, but he was shamelessly messing around with others.
However, Bailixi was more thoughtful than him, so he quickly dissuaded Gong Zhiqi, and the two of them could only live in the posthouse.
These days, he was in a panic because of his idle time. It happened that Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi were fine, and Yu Gong was still hanging out with beauties, so the two made an appointment to go out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, before he reached the door, he would meet Wu Jiu, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Think about it, time flies by so fast, it really is not my age, it was two or three years ago, when Wu Jiu had just become the son Jiu, and his status was still the second son of the state of Qi, and he failed to win the heir apparent with the Marquis of Qi Afterwards, in order to save his life, and also to hold Zhao Hu and Guan Zhong's life, Wu Jiu entered Qi's dining room and became a cook.
Later, he was promoted to become a great traveler, and came to Ju State, planning to seek Cao GUI who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains. Unexpectedly, in the post house of Ju State, he met Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi, envoys of Yu State who came to Ju State as envoys.
Wu Jiu can still vividly remember the scene at that time. Because Juzi disliked the jade that Duke Yu sent was not beautiful enough, he treated Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi harshly, and asked the officials of the post house to perfuse Gong Zhiqi and Baili with rotten food. Xi.
That scene was seen by Wu Jiu, and Wu Jiu invited them to have a meal, and shared his meal with the two of them.
Everyone didn't expect to meet today. The unfavored son of Qi State changed suddenly today and became the new king of Chu State.
Gong Zhiqi was surprised to see that Wu Jiu wanted to invite them to drink, Baili Xi cupped his hands and said, "This..."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "But the two gentlemen have an appointment? Or do you have some important work to do?"
When he said this, Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi were ashamed, because they had nothing to do, they had been free for many days, and they had nothing else to do except eating, drinking and sleeping.
When he said this, Gong Zhiqi was also very curious about what happened to Wu Jiu, so he looked at Bailixi, and Wu Jiu said with a smile: "If the two gentlemen have nothing important to do, then please do me a favor."
Wu Jiu's attitude was very gentle. If Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi didn't show favor, it would be unreasonable, and the two quickly handed over their hands.
Wu Jiu unfolded his sleeve robe with a smile on his face, made a gesture of please, and said, "Gentlemen, please."
Wu Jiu asked Baili Xi and Gong Zhiqi to go first, then turned around and said to Qihou, "Your Majesty, go back to the house first, and you will go to your Majesty later."
As soon as he said that, Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi turned their heads to pay attention to Qihou, a man in black in his thirties, also wearing a black court robe, tall, handsome and majestic, full of aristocratic appearance. momentum.
Seeing Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi sizing him up, Qi Hou said with a smile on purpose: "Second brother invites someone to drink, why not invite Gu? It really makes Gu Hao very sad. No, Gu has to go too."
Qihou acted like a baby in front of people, and Wu Jiu's forehead was jumping when he saw it, because Wu Jiu and Gong Zhiqi Baili Xi had some friendship, but Qihou didn't have it at all, so Wu Jiu felt that taking Qihou's words, drinking It may well turn into entertainment.
Qi Hou insisted on following, and even said some greasy and crooked words, which made Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi look at each other differently. Only then did they realize that this tall and majestic man in black was the famous Qi The king of the country.
As a result, not only Gong Zhiqi, but even Baili Xi, who was always gentle and refined, showed a look of astonishment.
Qi Hou looked at Baili Xi's surprised gaze very proudly, while Wu Jiu wanted to cover his face, but he couldn't complain...
The four of them quickly entered Wu Jiu's house, and Wu Jiao asked Ziqing and Tang Wu to prepare the food and drink. At this time, the servants of the post station brought the food and wine, which was very rich, including wine and meat. Wu Zheng made good use of these Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi were entertained.
Wu Jiu also asked Ziqing and Tang Wu to get some side dishes brought from Chu State, but most of them were pickled vegetables, because it was inconvenient to store them along the way, and Qi Hou ate up all that could be eaten, so only Let's go with these pickles and wine.
Everyone sat down, Qi Hou insisted on sitting next to Wu Jiu, his movements were very intimate, and he even helped Wu Jiu straighten the corners of his clothes that were accidentally pressed under him.
While tidying up, Qihou showed his sovereignty and deliberately said in a gentle voice: "Second brother, look at you, you are still so careless, you have put your clothes under pressure, and I will help you alone."
Wu Jiu looked at it, he felt a headache, Qi Hou was careful, he must be complaining that he let him go back and didn't invite him to drink, so Qi Hou started to go crazy now.
Wu Jiu looked helplessly at Qi Hou, and Qi Hou had successfully attracted everyone's attention. Both Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi looked at Qi Hou in amazement, as if they wanted to know what happened to Qi Hou and Wu Jiu. What is the relationship.
One is the monarch of Qi State, and the other is the new king of Chu State. Qi State and Chu State have always been places that wind horses and cattle can't think of, and they are not friendly countries. Now Qi Hou is so gentle to Wu Jiu, Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi were both surprised and suspicious.
This is what Qihou wants. After he succeeds, he sits down honestly and starts to eat. Qihou's goal is naturally the pickles brought by his second brother. Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi must not eat them all. .
So after Qihou sat down, he drank and ate pickled vegetables, listening to Wu Jiu chatting with Gong Zhiqi Bailixi, he couldn't get in, so he had to throw pickles and wine on the raft.
When Wu Jiu turned his head, he saw Qi Hou finished eating a large bowl of pickled vegetables, his eyeballs almost fell off, and he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't eat too much salty food."
Qi Hou said disapprovingly: "Everything that the second brother cooks is delicious, although it is a bit salty."
Wu Jiao said to himself, can he not pickle the vegetables?What kind of pickles are they called if they are not salty!
Qi Hou hugged the pickled vegetables made by Wu Jiu and never let go of them. Others who ate them dared not touch the plate of pickled vegetables. Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi had to eat the dishes delivered by the posthouse.
After drinking for three rounds, Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi were still silent at first. After all, Wu Jiu is now the king of Chu, and his standpoint is different, but after a few glasses of wine, the conversation started.
Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi suffered a lot of grievances in Yu State. Both of them are talents and unparalleled celebrities in the world, but the king of Yu State is fatuous and incompetent. It was a time when Ji's surname was lonely and foreign surnames were strong, but Duke Yu still didn't know how to make progress and was self-styled. The state of Yu was declining day by day. Both of them saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but there was nothing they could do.
Wu Jiu was very friendly when he spoke, and he listened to Gong Zhiqi and Baili Xi with a smile on his face, especially Gong Zhiqi, who drank a little too much after drinking, and he had suffered a lot of grievances recently, so he started to talk slowly. I made complaints about it, and when I talked about it, I became very excited.
Gong Zhiqi held up his wine glass and said angrily, "I hate Gong Zhiqi, I was born at an untimely time!"
Seeing that he was drunk, Baili Xi hurriedly pulled Gong Zhiqi, and said in a low voice, "Zhiqi, you are drunk, let me help you go back first, brother."
Gong Zhiqi was already drunk, so he said without hesitation: "No, no, my brother is not drunk yet, so don't worry, my brother is fine..."
Wu Jiu looked at Gong Zhiqi with a smile, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gong is also a man of temperament, Mr. Baili, don't worry, what we talked about today was drinking, and there are countless things to do. Once you take a break today, you can wake up early tomorrow Forget everything."
Baili Xi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, King Chu."
Wu Jiu said with a smile, "Mr. Baili is too far-fetched."
Everyone drank from dinner until late at night, Gong Zhiqi was finally so drunk that he fell asleep, and Baili Xi was also a little drunk, so he said goodbye and took Gong Zhiqi with him to leave.
Gong Zhiqi was tall, drunk and unconscious, Baili Xi couldn't carry him at all, so he had to coax him gently, Gong Zhiqi stood up in a daze, and was carried away by Baili Xi.
After Gong Zhiqi and Bailixi left, Marquis Qi was also a little drunk. It was really rare that Marquis Qi was drunk but Wu Jiu was not.
It's not surprising that Qihou got drunk, after all, Qihou has been holding a pickle jar to eat, no matter how delicious the pickles pickled by Wu Jiu are, they are still pickles, very salty, and they are called water. When I was thirsty, I wanted to drink water, so I held the wine and drank it.
After eating a sip of wine and a sip of pickles like this, he immediately got drunk. After Gong Zhiqi was drunk, Qi Hou was also drunk and passed out.
After those two people left, Wu Jiu asked Ziqing and Tang Wu to pack away the food and drinks. At this time, Qihou was lying on the table and was thinking about it, muttering: "Mmm... delicious, but too... too salty……"
Wu Jiu burst out laughing with a "puchi", stretched out his hand to pinch the tip of Qihou's nose, and said, "Is the pickled vegetables not salty? Who told you to eat so much, are you drunk?"
Qihou's nose was pinched, he couldn't breathe well, and he said "hmm" twice indiscriminately. Qihou's hair crown has been scattered, and his black hair has fallen down, covering his tough cheeks. Because of the cover of black hair, his appearance is more obvious He is handsome and handsome, without a strong sense of majesty.
Qihou's voice was a little hoarse due to drinking, and he was talking in his sleep, so his voice was very deep and strong magnetic. When he said "um", Wu Jiao felt that his whole body was not well, and suddenly understood what is called wolf blood boiling .
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes, and instead of letting Ziqing and Tang Wu come over to serve him, he let them go to rest, then closed the door, unbolted it, walked back, and carried Qihou onto the couch with great effort.
Qihou was tall and heavy, and in the autumn, Wu Jiu broke out in sweat, and finally carried Qihou up.
Smiling, Wu Jiu stretched out his hand to lift up a lock of Qihou's hair, raised his eyebrows, and kissed him on his lips, then pinched Qihou's chin, made him raise his head, and kissed Qihou's lips, Qi Hou didn't even wake up.
Wu Jiao immediately became complacent, thinking that the wind will turn smoothly, and finally turned to himself, Qi Hou has always made his waist sore and backache, every time he looks at Qi Hou's expression, he seems to be at home, Wu Jiao heart Thinking about it, it's time to have fun this time?
Wu Jiao squeezed Qihou's chin, like a dandy teasing a good woman, and said: "Little Bai, brother will be gentle."
Qihou was sleeping soundly, and his chin was always being pinched, which made him very uncomfortable. He opened his eyes in confusion, and glanced at Wu Jiao. His eyeballs were a little red. Don't look at the sharp face covered by black hair, but one eye , quite majestic.
Wu Jiu was almost frightened for a moment, but Qi Hou obviously drank too much, just looked at Wu Jiao, without any movement at all, as if he fell asleep with his eyes open.
Wu Jiu waited for a while, and seeing that Qihou hadn't moved, he felt relieved and said with a smile, "So it's a paper tiger."
Qihou was dizzy in his head, and his reaction was a little slow. He didn't understand what a paper tiger was, and he didn't know what "paper" meant, so he felt that Wu Jiao had been teasing himself. Wu Jiu teased himself again and again, until the sleepiness was gone.
Wu Correction proudly took back Qihou's clothes, ready to take advantage of Qihou's drunkenness, and enjoy it slowly, but Qihou suddenly turned over and pushed Wu Jiao down with a "boom!", his eyes were red, staring at the blood , with an unbearable look, narrowed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Second brother, are you inviting Gu?"
Wu Jiao was stunned for a moment, what about the paper tiger that he promised, why did the paper tiger suddenly become a real tiger, Wu Jiao instantly turned into a big fat meat under the tiger's claws, it was too late to escape...
Ziqing and Tang Wu came here in the morning. After all, they had to go on their way today, but the door was closed. When they pushed the door lightly, they found that it was locked from the inside and couldn't be opened at all, so they waited outside the door.
When it was three poles high in the sun, the people inside hadn't woken up yet. In the end, Qihou came out first and ordered Wu Ziqingtang to bring hot soup.
Wu Jiu had already woken up, but he was so sore that he couldn't move at all, yesterday was really crazy, Wu Jiu wanted to take advantage of it, but he didn't know that it was him, Qi Hou took enough of it.
Qihou walked in and said with a smile: "Second Brother is awake? Can you hurry today?"
Wu Jiu gave him a blank look, and was supported by Marquis Qi to sit up. After the two of them washed up, they were still ready to set out on the road, and to go to Xingyuan as soon as possible, so that they could make some arrangements, so as not to be caught by others.
Wu Jiu fell asleep again in the car until dusk. After all, yesterday was a miserable day. When he woke up, the sky seemed to be on fire. The vast expanse is very spectacular.
Wu Jiu lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it. He was still asleep, Qihou took a cloak and put it on Wu Jiu's shoulders, and said, "Second brother, put down the curtain, be careful not to catch a cold."
The chariot drove for a while, and soon arrived at the gate of Xingyuan. This time, the meeting was in Shendi, and the king of Shen State was a subordinate of Chu State, so when he saw the king of Chu's chariot, he immediately stood up to greet him. magnificent.
Hu Qi, son of Zhou, arrived early in order to make plans early. Now that he saw the chariot of Chu State, he also stood beside him, not to greet him, but to take a look curiously.
Seeing that the curtain of the car was opened, the first one to come out was not Wu Jiu, the new king of Chu, but Marquis Qi!
Marquis Qi was dressed in a black robe, and slowly stepped down from the carriage frame. The Lord of Shen Guo also had good eyesight, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Duke Qi is polite."
Qihou smiled and bowed his hands to Lord Shen, turning a blind eye to Zhou Tianzi Hu Qi who was standing not far away, turned his head to look at the car, stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the car, and made a gesture of supporting him, and soon he was inside Stretching out a hand, put it in the palm of Qihou, and Qihou helped the people inside to walk down slowly.
It's not that Hu Qi has never met Wu Jiao, on the contrary, he has met Wu Jiao many times, but each time Wu Jiao's identity is different, this time, Wu Jiao's identity has changed drastically.
No one would have thought that Wu Jiu would be promoted all the way from a cook to become the new king of the Chu Kingdom. Wu Jiu today is similar to what he saw a few years ago. It's a difference in temperament.
He was dressed in a black robe and a crown on his head. He looked gentle and fierce, with indescribable contradictions and unity.
The black robe set off Wu Jiu's fair skin, and Wu Jiu's hand rested in the palm of Qi Hou's, which was an unusual match, even a blind person could see it. Qi Hou carefully helped Wu Jiu down, as if Wu Jiu was a That peerless treasure.
Qihou and Wu Jiu got off the chariot, at this moment, they heard the sound of horseshoes, "Tat T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T" Tall, with a handsome face, he was very happy to see Qihou and Wu Jiao, immediately got off his horse, and said excitedly, "Second Brother! Third Brother!"
It turned out that Zhan Xiong had brought Qi soldiers and horses to join forces with the Marquis of Qi. After receiving the order, Zhan Xiong led the vanguard to rush around day and night, and he arrived at Shendi, just in time to see the chariots of Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi.
Zhanxiong hadn’t seen Marquis Qi for a long time, let alone Wu Jiu. After Wu Jiu had been in Chu State for so long, and Zhanxiong had something else to do, he couldn’t see Wu Jiu at all. How could he not see him now? Glad, he hurried over with big strides.
Zhanxiong is also a man of temperament, he rushed over and hugged Wu Jiao directly, and hugged Wu Jiao into his arms.
"Boom!" With a sound, Wu Jiao felt like he had hit a rock, and was almost stunned. For Zhan Xiong's enthusiasm, it was not only Wu Jiao who was stunned, Qihou was also stunned. Although Zhanxiong was the fourth younger brother, he hugged him like this , Qi Hou is still very easy to eat.
Qi Hou hurriedly walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Xiong and Wu Jiao, Zhan Xiong didn't see that Qi Hou was eating, and was still immersed in joy. Although he let go of Wu Jiao, he grabbed his hand, looked hard at him, and said: "Second brother, you must have been exhausted in Chu State, and you have lost weight, but...but it seems to have become better. Second brother really looks good in this dress."
Qihou couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly stopped spreading Xiong's hand, and didn't let him hold Wu Jiu. Although his second brother did look very handsome in this dress, he could only say that.
Over there, Wu Jiu, Marquis Qi and Zhan Xiong were reminiscing about the old days, and Hu Qi, the son of Zhou, was watching with smoke on his head. He was afraid that Marquis Qi would come and help Chu, so he deliberately didn't invite Qi. Who knew there was no invitation, Marquis Qi He still came, not only came, but also openly shared a carriage with the king of Chu, who is close and who is not, can't you tell it at a glance?
Not only that, the three people over there were getting old, Hu Qi was very angry, snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left.
Everyone quickly entered the Xingyuan, and they still had to wait for the monarchs of other countries. When they walked into the Xingyuan, Zhan Xiongben was still following Wu Jiu around, when he heard a sound of "哗啦——", the curtain of the tent next to him was opened, and a man in a black robe The young man walked out from inside, and it turned out to be Song Gongyu said.
Yu Shuo came out early, walked out of the tent, looked at them with a smile, and said, "Yu Shuo said that he heard voices outside, probably the King of Chu and Duke Qi came."
He said, bowing to Wu Jiu and Qi Hou, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou also returned the gift with a smile, that's all, when Song Gongyu said that he had arrived, Zhanxiong's eyes lit up instantly, as if a wolf saw the little boy Fresh meat, Qi Hou is no longer afraid of him pestering his second brother.
Sure enough, Zhanxiong sneaked away quickly, and entered the camp of Song State with Song Gong.
The monarchs of other countries hadn't arrived yet, so they had to wait, so everyone went to Xingyuan to rest. When it got darker, the monarch of Yu Kingdom also arrived. A welcome banquet.
They are meeting in Shendi, and just after Wu Jiu and Qihou left Chu State, some things happened in Chu State...
This time Wu Jiu set off with some Chu ministers, these ministers naturally included the most favored Le Yin Peng Zhongshuang, the great Sima Pan Chong, and Mo Ao's Dou Qi stayed in Chu.
In fact, Wu Jiu has his own reasons for doing this. Although Dou Qi is a Dou family, but Dou Qi's reputation and qualifications are very high, so keeping Dou Qi in Chu State will allow him to take care of Chu State so that Pan will not be left behind. Chong or Peng Zhongshuang, no one listens to what they say, and they will be very distressed if they will not be in charge by themselves.
So Wu Jiu left Dou Qi in command.
However, this action aroused the dissatisfaction of the Dou family. Many people of the Dou family found Dou Bobi, Taishan Beidou of the Dou family, to file a complaint. None of the Dou family members who rejected these complaints were seen.
The Dou family had no choice but to find Dou Qi.
Many people invited Dou Qi to the banquet together, and when Dou Qi came to the banquet, the people from the Dou family were all seated. Looking at the scene, one knew that it was definitely not a simple banquet.
Sure enough, as soon as Dou Qi sat down, many Dou family members began to complain, saying: "Lord Mo Ao, it's not that we said something bad, the current king is too fond of young people, the king looks down on me Dou family, and Zhou Wang Huimeng, for such a big event, you don’t even bring along our Dou family members, even Mo Ao, you don’t pay attention to it, what does that mean?”
Dou Qi didn't speak immediately after hearing this, he knew that the banquet was not easy.
Others said, "That's right. We didn't say it. It's normal for the king to love young people. After all, the king is young, but the king loves newcomers, but he doesn't give us old people alive. This is to force us to fight to death." People at home!"
Dou Qi still didn't speak, and sat on the table with folded arms, everyone looked at each other, and continued: "Master Mo Ao, we are not for ourselves, but for you. Look, you have assisted two generations of Chu kings, and there are hardships as well as credits." Lao, besides, Lord Mo Ao’s credit is much higher than that of Baoshen and Peng Yu, let alone Peng Zhongshuang’s young child! Lord Mo Ao, we are not worth it for you! We are wronged for you ah!"
Dou Qi finally opened his eyes, looked at them faintly, and said lightly: "I know, you go find my brother first."
Dou Bobi is Dou Qi's elder brother, and what Dou Qi was referring to was naturally that they went to find Dou Bobi. When he said this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and dared not speak.
Dou Qi said quietly: "Did elder brother reply you anything?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and because there was no reply, they hurriedly found Dou Qi, wanting to incite Dou Qi, and to do something when the King of Chu had just ascended the throne and was not in Yingdu now.
Everyone didn't speak, looked at Dou Qi, and Dou Qi said indifferently: "The reason why I don't see you is because I want you to be safe. Now that Chu's domestic troubles are greater than foreign troubles, we Chu people should not mess around. After so many Everyone has seen the matter, the King of Chu has his own arrangements, so I can't make random guesses."
Everyone didn't expect that Dou Qi would actually speak for Wu Jiu. For a moment, everyone was stunned and didn't know what to say. You look at me and I look at you. The banquet became very awkward.
Dou Qi stood up silently, and was about to leave the table. Before he left, he left a sentence, saying: "Remember, people from the Dou family are first from the state of Chu, then from the Ruo Ao family, and then from the Dou family... ...If Chu State really ceases to be Chu State, Doujia will no longer exist, you must keep this relationship firmly in your heart."
He said, turned his head and walked away.
The banquet suddenly ended without a problem, and everyone was very embarrassed. They sat silently on the table for a long time, watching Dou Qi throwing his sleeves and leaving, someone suddenly said: "What does Dou Qi mean by this? Do you really regard yourself as the head of the Dou family? "
When he spoke like this, many people began to discuss, and then someone said: "Master Dou, I'm really not worth it for you. Look, you two brothers, the former mighty Dou Bobi, and the former Ling Yin Douqi is now in decline, even the edge is gone, alas!"
They spoke to a person in the banquet, that person was also very luxuriously dressed, sitting next to Dou Qi, his position should be not low, this person is the younger brother of Dou Bobi and Dou Qi, but he is not a real brother, but He is the younger brother in the clan, not too far apart, apart from Dou Bobi and Dou Qi, he is the most honorable, called Dou Liang.
Dou Liang watched Dou Qi leave, and just smiled coldly, and said: "This is also a reasonable thing, after all, my two elder brothers are already old, and they have been in the high position of the Dou family for a long time. , Naturally, I am complacent and do not want to make progress."
Everyone immediately said: "Now the Doujia is in danger, the new king just doesn't like us and wants to bring down our Doujia. Dou Liang, you are the leader of the Doujia. Tell me, what shall we do?"
Hearing what they said, Dou Liang sneered, and said, "You guys said that, I thought of another way. A few days ago, I received a secret letter from Duke Shen..."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Shen State is a subsidiary state of Chu State, the secret letter sent by Duke Shen should also be handed over to Wu Jiu, why did it go to Doujia?And he didn't hand it to the Dou family's Taishan Beidou Dou Bobi, nor did he hand it to the Dou family's current head Dou Qi, but to Dou Liang.
Dou Liang took out the letter and circulated it to everyone. When everyone saw it, they were stunned, and all of them had surprise expressions on their faces.
It turned out that the letter was written by Shen Gong to Dou Liang, wanting to cooperate with Dou Jia.
Although after the battle between Chu State and Qi State, Shen State can be regarded as the restoration of the country, but it is not satisfied with just the restoration of the country, and wants to break away from the control of Chu State. There are still many small countries and a Deng country, so it is not surprising that such ambitions exist.
Hu Qi personally found Lord Shen, and gave Shen a large amount of money for them to rebuild and restore the country. He wanted to bribe Shen Gong. Don’t look at Shen Gong on the surface. In fact, Shen Gong has been taken by Hu Qi He was bribed, so Hu Qi agreed to meet in Shendi, which Wu Jiu and Qi Hou didn't even know about.
For this alliance, Hu Qi wanted to spoil his good deeds. Wu Jiu and Qihou never came back, and they were all killed in Shendi, so he wrote this letter specially and asked Shengong to give it to Doujia, wanting to make a deal with Doujia. Also cooperate, come and cooperate with the outside.
The letter clearly stated that Hu Qi did not want to destroy Chu, but just wanted to develop a good diplomatic relationship with Chu, so as long as they could join forces to kill Wu Jiu, Hu Qi would not send troops to attack Chu.
Hu Qi wants to unite with the Dou family. There is actually a very simple reason, that is, after getting rid of Wu Jiao, he has no way to destroy Chu State. After all, Zhou State’s palm is not that big, but he wants to control Chu State , so Hu Qi thought of Li Ji who was the guardian of Xiong Zi, the former king of Chu.
Although Li Ji's child was lost, they could invent one, who wouldn't tell lies with their eyes open, as long as Li Ji's child was pushed to the throne of Chu, Zhou State could control Chu State.
After Dou Liang received the letter, he was very moved. Now their Dou family's status is in jeopardy. If they get rid of Wu Jiao together with Zhou Guoren, and then help a puppet baby to take over, then the world of Chu State will actually belong to the Dou family.
Dou Liang reached out and knocked on the table, and said: "Now this opportunity is in front of everyone. If you are interested, you can secretly escort Li Ji out of Chu State with me, rush to Shendi, and elect Li Ji's son as Chu State." The new king of the country."
When he said this, the crowd immediately boiled over, and the Dou family went from being prosperous to declining, and everyone couldn't please them, so naturally they had to support this approach.
Some people were still very worried and said, "What if Dou Qi finds out about this?"
Dou Liang sneered, and said: "That's why I said that if you want to escort Li Ji out of the Royal Tomb secretly, you must act cautiously and avoid the sight of Dou Qi and Dou Bobi. As long as you escort Li Ji to Shendi, the whole The Kingdom of Chu is in the palm of our Dou family..."
Wu Jiu didn't know that Lord Shen had rebelled and had accepted bribes from Emperor Zhou. Not only that, Lord Shen also wrote to the Dudou family, talking nonsense with his eyes open, and found a "righteous" heir of Chu, thinking It is necessary to push Wu Jiu down from the position of king of Chu in a logical manner.
At this time, the Shendi Huimeng Xingyuan is holding a grand reception banquet. Although the monarchs of the Huimeng have not yet arrived, but because there are many people, Shen Guoguo, as the host, naturally wants to hold a banquet for everyone.
As the night fell, there were torches everywhere in the shaft, and the lights were brightly lit. Many cases were placed in the empty space, and there were delicious food and wine on display. It's time to start.
When Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi came out, Hu Qi was already sitting. In order to make the banquet look equal and there would be no status disputes, Lord Shen specially arranged the banquet tables end-to-end. Round, so that the status is equal.
Wu Jiu walked over, but Hu Qi didn't greet Wu Jiu, and Wu Jiu pretended not to see him, so he sat down, and Qi Hou also sat down beside Wu Jiu.
Chu State has established itself and is not a subsidiary state of Zhou State, but Qi State is still a state. Qi Hou sat down and didn't seem to see Hu Qi. Hu Qi was immediately upset and coughed several times.
Only then did Qihou say in surprise: "The Son of Heaven has also arrived. Xiaobai didn't see it clearly just now. It's really rude."
Qi Hou pretended to be stupid like this, and Hu Qi had no choice but to grind his teeth, but said with a smile: "Qi Gong is so polite."
They said so, Song Gong Yu Shuo and Zhan Xiong soon came out, and Zhan Xiong chased Yu Shuo like a big dog and ran around. I actually look like this...
In addition to Zhou, Shen, Chu, Qi, and Song, the countries that have arrived now include Yong and the newly arrived Yu.
The King of Yu Kingdom came with his left and right hugs, and he also embraced his left and right arms when he entered the table, with a beautiful woman in his arms. Now this is the first time that the King of Yu Kingdom saw Wu Jiu. As soon as Wu Jiu took the seat, Duke Yu found out Suddenly, his eyes lit up instantly, and he suddenly felt that the beautiful woman in his arms seemed a bit dull.
Although the beauty in his arms is unparalleled, it is much more beautiful than Wu Jiu's face. After all, no matter how handsome Wu Jiu is, he is still a man, not a woman, so there is no way to compare with the beauty, but that temperament, Like the spring breeze in March, it was refreshing, gentle and elegant, with an indescribable elegance, indifferent and distant, and when Duke Yu saw it, he couldn't pull his eyes out immediately.
Duke Yu likes three things in his life, the first is beauties, the second is beautiful jade, and the third is BMW. He likes extremely beautiful things. Now when he sees Wu Jiao, his heart immediately itch, and he is very unbearable.
Duke Yu didn't dare to show his eyes. After all, although the State of Yu is a duke, no one knows that the country surnamed Ji is lonely. Although the State of Chu is in the southern border, far away from the State of Yu, it is very powerful and cannot be provoked by the State of Yu. of.
Yu Gong felt very sorry again, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Yu Gong was sizing up secretly, especially fond of Wu Jiu's slender waist tied in the black robe, he felt a cold gaze suddenly piercing him, Yu Gong raised his head and met Qi Hou's gaze.
Qi Hou was squinting his eyes, slightly raised his chin, and looked at Yu Gong casually. Yu Gong was startled, and hurriedly looked away, almost startled by Qi Hou's expression.
The banquet began soon, and as the host, Lord Shen Guoguo,
