Chapter 138 Tiger Baby (2)
coming.
At that time, Wu Jiu didn't see Ju Zi and Guo Gong, so naturally there was nothing about being chased by a tiger, but Ju Zi and Guo Gong followed Wu Jiu's words and kept agreeing, obviously they had ghosts in their hearts.
Wu Jiu suddenly sneered, Ju Zi and Guo Gong's faces were stiff, and they didn't know what they said wrong, so they quickly said something, took their leave and left.
Wu Jiu felt that this was not an easy matter, so he and Qi Hou came to the door of Ji Lang's camp, gave an announcement, and went in.
Ji Lang fell off the horse, scratched his elbow and sprained his ankle.
Prince Zhengzheng squatted on the ground, and personally bandaged Ji Lang's ankle. Ji Lang showed a leg. The white calf was very smooth, but when it reached the ankle, it swelled up a lot, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.
The position of the elbow is a scratch from falling from a horse, and it has been bandaged up, so there is nothing serious about it.
Wu Jiu saluted with the Marquis of Qi, and Ji Lang said, "You don't need to be too polite, are the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi injured?"
Qihou cupped his hands and said, "I was protected by the emperor, and I was not injured."
Ji Lang nodded and said, "That's good... I don't know what's the matter with you two?"
Wu Jiu told about the hunting marks on the tiger, and about Ju Zi and Guo Gong, and Ji Lang's expression turned cold.
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "It's just that there is no evidence to prove that Ju Gong and Guo Gong did it."
Ji Lang's face was serious, and he said: "A few days ago, when Ju and Guo disrupted the alliance, I have already started to suspect them. Now these two people are becoming more and more suspicious."
Wu Jiu said: "Ju Gong and Guo Gong did not succeed in their tricks. There must have been other tricks before the alliance. Please be more careful."
Ji Lang said: "Thank you King Chu for telling me, I will be careful."
He said again: "In addition, please pay attention to the matter of Duke Ju and Duke Guo."
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou nodded, and after everyone ventilated, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou planned to leave.
The two went back to the tent to rest. Wu Jiu must check whether Qi Hou was injured. After all, Qi Hou rushed to fight the tiger alone. Qi Hou is not a swordsman, he is a king. After all, fighting tigers is something that only happens in novels or beautified legends. In their day and age, there is no such thing as fighting tigers with an ancient alloy sword.
Qi Hou's actions at that time almost scared Wu Jiu to death, especially the son Ji was injured, and his bloody appearance was really terrifying.
Wu Jiu insisted on inspecting Marquis Qi, and Marquis Qi was willing to inspect Wu Jiu when he saw that he was in such a hurry, so he sat on the mat, stretched out his black sleeves, and his hands were flat, as if he wanted to be picked by the king.
Qi Hou didn't know that his elegant and sexy appearance, in Wu Jiu's eyes, turned out to be like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes, walked over and tore off Qihou's robe, Qihou raised his eyebrows, and said with a low, hoarse voice, "Second Brother, you acted so violently, if Gu gets injured, Isn't it going to hurt to death? You have to take pity on Gu Cai."
Hearing what he said, Wu Jiu almost spat on Qihou's face, thinking that you should show some face, Your Majesty, but his movements were gentler, in case Qihou was really hurt and would hurt him again.
Wu Jiu took off Qi Hou's clothes, checked carefully, Qi Hou sat upright, not shy at all, asked Wu Jiu to look carefully, it seemed that there was really no wound.
Wu Jiu really admires Marquis Qi, he knows how to eat all day long, but his martial arts are so outstanding, and his figure is not bad, even Wu Jiu thinks that Marquis Qi's abs are fake, but they are hard. Correction is really felt.
In fact, Qihou is not idle. He suffered a lot when he was a child. The Zhou Dynasty liked to stand up. As a young son, Qihou is the youngest son, so he was not treated well. He was treated poorly when he was a child. If you do everything, you will practice good kung fu, and your physical fitness will be very good since childhood.
After Wu Jiao finished the inspection, he blushed a little and hurriedly put on clothes for Qi Hou, but Qi Hou yelled "Ouch!" at this moment, as if he was in extreme pain.
Wu Jiao was taken aback, and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Where is the injury, show me!"
Wu Jiu was very nervous, and hurriedly supported Qi Hou who was moaning continuously. Qi Hou frowned, grinned, and stretched out his hand pitifully, opened his palm, pointed to his palm for Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother, hurry up!" Look, it hurts badly."
Wu Jiu looked down, but he didn't see what was going on. He grabbed Qihou's palm and looked carefully. Then he realized that there was a small wound about one millimeter in Qihou's palm. I touched something scratched, not even bleeding, just scratched a little skin.
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes at Qi Hou, Qi Hou said: "Second Brother, don't you want to brag to Gu?"
Wu Jiao was so angry that he said casually, "I'll lick it for you!"
Qi Hou was eager to try it immediately, stretched out his palm and put it next to Wu Jiu's mouth, looking very expectant.
Wu Jiu opened his hand, ignored him, and quickly walked to the side and sat down.
Wu corrected down a cup of tea to alleviate his embarrassment, and said, "Speak to your majesty about something serious. The attitudes of Ju Zi and Guo Gong are very obvious. Maybe they were responsible for Yang Guo's affairs. After that, the two countries There will definitely be another change, they have failed twice in a row, I don't know what the third move is."
Qihou nodded his head, when he was joking just now he had a reckless face, now when he talked about the business, he restrained his smile, frowned and sneered, and said: "Juzi and Guogong are people who don't know how to live or die. "
Qi Hou said again: "Gu asked people to strengthen the guards. The emperor just handed over the guards of Xingyuan to Gu and Zheng Gong. Then Gu and Zheng Gong will make up again."
Wu Jiu nodded.
Zheng Tu is now in Gongzi Ji's tent, he hasn't left all day, and stays by late at night. Gongzi Ji has been in a comatose stage due to excessive blood loss, and he got better when he got up in the morning, and slowly woke up.
When Young Master Ji woke up, Wu Jiu Qihou took Xiao Ziwen to see Young Master Ji, and Tang Wu was changing his medicine.
Young Master Ji opened his eyes in confusion, and saw Tang Wu who was changing his dressing, and immediately became even more confused. He seemed to have a dream yesterday, in which he saw a man standing by his couch, wiping his sweat meticulously , look at his wounds.
But as soon as he opened his eyes, that person disappeared. Young Master Ji felt that he must be dreaming, otherwise why would he dream that that person was taking care of him? That is impossible.
Seeing that he woke up, Wu Jiao immediately said, "Young Master, how are you feeling?"
Young Master Ji shook his head and said, "It's all right."
It's just that the blood loss cannot be replenished in a short time, and there is no blood transfusion in this era. Wu Jiu can fully understand that feeling, and he has lost too much blood before.
Young master Ji was still very weak, and he didn't have much strength to speak, and he woke up a little bit exhausted, and then lay back down.
Xiao Ziwen was very sensible, brought over a cup of hot water, Xiao Rou held the cup in his hand, and fed it to Young Master Ji to drink.
Young Master Ji smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince."
Xiao Ziwen said: "Master, it's good to have a rest."
They were visiting Young Master Ji, when they heard the curtains clattering, followed by a man in a black robe, who was tall and not young anymore, with a mustache on his chin. But it seems that there is a feeling of being romantic and handsome. There is a saying that the older a man is, the more popular he is. This sentence is vividly reflected in this man.
Everyone looked back and saw that it was Zheng Tu who came in. When he reached the door, he didn't go any further, but said, "King Chu, Duke Qi, the Son of Heaven has invited you. It seems that there is something important to do."
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou quickly stood up, ready to go out, Wu Jiao asked Tang Wu to change the dressing for the young master Ji Haosheng, and the two went to see the emperor first.
Zheng Tu waited for Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi to leave, and he wanted to leave too, but at this moment he heard Young Master Ji talking.
Yesterday, someone took care of him, Young Master Ji could feel it, and thought it was Zheng Tu, but when he opened his eyes, he didn't see Zheng Tu at all, but Tang Wu was changing his medicine.
Tang Wu is a doctor, and his actions are careful, which is his duty. Young Master Ji smiled and said to Tang Wu: "Thank you for taking care of me, I worked hard for you yesterday, did you not rest all night?"
Tang Wu raised his head, looked at Young Master Ji calmly, and then said, "The young master may have misunderstood the person. Tang'er was only in charge of changing the dressing. It was Mr. Zheng who took care of the young master last night."
When he said this, Young Master Ji was taken aback immediately, and raised his head in surprise, Uncle Zheng happened to leave the camp before he had time to leave, but was overthrown by Tang Wu, looking back, he happened to be surprised by Senior Young Master Ji face.
Zheng Tu raised his hand, stroked his beard stubble irritably, and said, "Just by the way."
As he spoke, he quickly walked out of the tent, lowered the curtain, and made a "crash".
Young Master Ji was so surprised that he hadn't recovered yet, Tang Wu said lightly: "Tang'er doesn't know if there is any misunderstanding between Zheng Gong and the young master, but after the young master was injured yesterday, it was Zheng Gong who pressed the young master's wound all the way. He came back with the young master in his arms, Zheng Gong also took care of the young master last night, according to Tanger's opinion... there should be no misunderstanding."
Young Master Ji was even more surprised, unable to recover for a long time, Tang Wu bandaged his wound, and said: "Young master rest first, Tang'er is going to get some hot soup to wipe the young master's sweat."
As the curtain was lowered again, Young Master Ji came back to his senses. Tang Wu said that the person who was busy in front of the bed last night was Zheng Tu himself...
Young Master Ji couldn't believe it. After all, because of his young and reckless behavior, Zheng Tu suffered a lot of humiliation. His body was full of scars. Those scars were not medals for military exploits, but witnesses of humiliation. The princes laughed at him, and even Zheng Tu The ministers of the country also felt that he was not worthy of being a king.
Zheng Tu was also brooding over such humiliation and was very irritable. It was hard for Young Master Ji to imagine why Zheng Tu took care of himself.
Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi walked out of the tent, Zheng Tu soon followed, the three of them entered the shogunate, the shogunate is a place to discuss important matters, Ji Lang is not in his tent, but in the shogunate, naturally there must be something important.
When they walked in, they immediately found that it was unusual, because all the princes in the shogunate were sitting together, not knowing what was going on.
Seeing them coming in, Ji Lang said, "Everyone, please sit down."
Wu Jiu, Marquis Qi and Zheng Tu sat down, and Ji Lang said, "I'm anxious for all the princes to come over today, because I have a temporary matter."
He said, and then said: "Just now, I received an urgent report from the Hulao Customs Order, saying that an envoy from Luzi Kingdom is closing the door, asking for a visit. I wonder what you mean?"
When everyone heard this, they started making noises, and everyone was surprised for a while.
Why should everyone be surprised?Then we have to start with Luziguo.
Luzi State is not a feudal state of the Zhou Dynasty, but a surrounding country. Luzi State and Jin State are next to each other, just north of the Yellow River and north of Hulao Pass. Because of the close distance, Luzi State and Jin State have always been It's always been the same situation.
Regardless of Jin's large territory and strong military strength, there is no way to take Luziguo, because Luziguo is the most powerful Fangguo among Chidi people.
Although Luzi State is an illegal and independent country, the Zhou emperors for several generations have had nothing to do with them, so Luzi State has survived for a long time, and it has become stronger from generation to generation.
Lu Ziguo is a model among the Chidi people, they are brave and good at fighting, and they have always had a hostile relationship with Zhou Guo, but now they suddenly send envoys, and they are still in the alliance period, how can everyone not make noise?They all feel very strange, I am afraid there is a fraud.
In the eyes of Chidi people, Zhou people are cunning, in the eyes of Zhou people, Chidi people are cunning and fierce, anyway, they hate each other.
Luziguo's envoys are already at Hulao, and if they are allowed to go, they will be able to reach Xingyuan tonight.
Zheng Tu received the urgent report of the Hulao Customs Order, and immediately reported it to the emperor. At this time, he explained: "According to the words of the envoys of the Luzi Kingdom, they are here for peace talks."
Everyone was even more suspicious. Now that Lu Ziguo is in a powerful period, why would he suddenly have peace talks with them?It doesn't really make sense.
Wu Jiu frowned, and said, "May I ask Mr. Zheng, did the Hulao Customs Order report how many troops Luziguo's envoys have brought?"
Zheng Tu cupped his hands and said: "There are indeed reports that there are only 20 people in total, three horses, no chariots or luggage."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in blank dismay. There were only twenty people in total, and only three horses, and none of them had a cart or luggage, which meant that there was no way to hide things.
Ji Lang said: "Everyone doesn't know, and the envoy of Luzi Kingdom is their country's Prime Minister Feng Shu."
This series of events surprised everyone, one surprise after another. Feng Shu is a person who can be said to be at the same level as Ji Zhong of Zheng State back then. Feng Shu is a powerful minister of Luzi Kingdom, equivalent to the Prime Minister With his position and power, even the monarch of Luzi Kingdom would look at him.
And this Luzi Kingdom's world minister, brought nineteen people and three horses, to the gate of Hulao, wanting to see him and ask for peace.
Everyone frowned, Qihou said: "The state of Zhou is a big country. If an envoy fails to see him at the gate, he will be ridiculed."
Wu Jiu nodded, it was true, especially the envoys of Luzi Kingdom were only [-] people, but everyone was afraid of being cheated, so Ji Lang asked Qihou Zheng Bo to arrange troops and horses, ordered the switch to let go, and was ready to welcome Luzi ambassador of the country.
At the same time, a banquet was set up for hospitality, and it was almost noon, because of a sudden incident, it took half a day for Luziguo's envoys to arrive here from Hulao, and it happened to be a dinner when they came.
Everyone went to work at once, and Qi Hou hurriedly went with Zheng Bo to organize the army, lest Lu Ziguo be deceived.
At dusk, Lu Ziguo's team came, a total of [-] people, the first three were on horseback, and the rest were all running. The infantry had no horses, but they ran over in half a day. These people's physical strength was amazing. underestimate.
It is a very simple team. The man at the head is riding a horse and wearing red clothes. The Chidi people are a typical race that worships red, so their official robes are actually red, and the soldiers behind them are also in dark red armor. Zhou Guo advocated black.
The man at the head is Feng Shu, the powerful minister of Luzi Kingdom. Feng Shu is very young. Feng's family was everyone in Luzi Kingdom. Guozhi is submissive, just like everyone knows, even the king has to look at Feng Shu.
Feng Shu had a ruthless look on his face, he was only around twenty years old, and he might be on the left side, very young, wearing a red robe, a white belt around his waist, and a fiery red jade crown on his head.
Luziguo's costumes are actually similar to theirs. Although in the eyes of Zhou people, Chidi people are all barbarians, but today's Luziguo has been assimilated by Zhou Wenhua a lot, and many Di people and Rong people, including Nanman Chu and the barbarians in the east are actually fashioned after Zhou Wenhua, so their dress is similar to that of Zhou, not as barbaric as everyone imagined.
In particular, Feng Shu, the country's Prime Minister, has a gentle look on his face, but he has a bit of a picture, and his smile is a bit sinister.
When Feng Shu came to the gate of Xingyuan, Ji Lang was the Son of Heaven, so naturally he couldn't greet him, Zheng Bo was the host, Wu Jiu was the King of Chu, with the highest rank, and Qihou was in charge of guarding, so Wu Jiu and Qihou also came to greet him.
The three of them were all dressed in black, standing at the gate of Xingyuan, followed by a large group of soldiers, as if they were people who wanted to frighten Lu Ziguo.
Zhou Guo's three-way army was facing twenty people from Luzi Kingdom, the proportion was really disproportionate, Feng Shu got off his horse, his red robe grinned in the summer wind, and he was holding on to the integrity of Zhou Guoren's envoy , looking decent, walked over alone, and said with a smile: "King Chu, Duke Qi, Duke Zheng, foreign minister Feng Shu is very polite."
When the three of them heard Feng Shu speak, they couldn't help but looked at each other, as if they were a little surprised, because Feng Shu, as a native of Luzi Kingdom, understood their words and spoke them fluently, with a slight accent. That's all.
Moreover, Feng Shu had never been to the territory of Zhou State, but he recognized the three of them clearly without any deviation.
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands to Feng Shu and said, "I've heard about Dr. Feng's name from Luzi Guo for a long time, now that I see him, his reputation is well-deserved."
Feng Shu smiled, and said: "The king of Chu is serious. The king of Chu is a man of talent, and he really looks like a king. Feng Shu feels ashamed even when he looks up. He really has no place to be ashamed."
Feng Shu's eloquence is quite good.
Feng Shu smiled and said: "Today, Feng Shu was sent as an envoy by the order of the king. To show his sincerity, he did not bring many envoys. Please be patient."
As he spoke, he turned his head and said something, and the soldiers behind him immediately put down their weapons, bent down and threw them on the ground at their feet, and then stepped out of the line and lined up neatly.
When everyone saw it, Lu Ziguo's envoys specially unloaded their weapons and entered the camp to express their sincerity.
Even Wu Jiu couldn't figure out what Feng Shu meant. Could it be that he really came here for peace talks?If you really come to peace talks, why bother to find this opportunity.
The crowd led Feng Shu to the palace, and soon came to the shogunate.
There was already a banquet in the shogunate. As the emperor, Ji Lang was already sitting at the banquet. When he saw them coming in, he smiled and said, "Envoy of the Lu Kingdom."
Feng Shu respectfully held up his knuckles and said with a smile, "Feng Shu pays homage to the Son of Heaven."
As Feng Shu said, he even knelt down and went to pay prostration to see him. All the princes present looked at each other in blank dismay.
Ji Lang smiled and said, "As an envoy from the Lu Kingdom, why do you have to show such a grand ceremony?"
Feng Shu knelt on the ground without getting up, and said: "To be honest, Feng Shu came here this time to ask the Son of Heaven, so this great gift must be performed."
When everyone hears it, do you have any requests?Suddenly came to his senses, no wonder he was so polite.
Ji Lang said: "Oh? I don't know what you are asking for? If I can help you, I will naturally help. I ask the envoys of the Lu Kingdom to get up first."
Only now did Feng Shu stand up, sat on a seat beside him, and said: "To be honest, Feng Shu heard that the medical skills of Zhou State are amazing, especially that there is a young man named Tang Wu under the king of Chu, whose medical skills are even more superb. So Feng Shu wanted to beg the Son of Heaven and the King of Chu to ask a doctor to come and treat the king of our country."
Ji Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "May I ask the envoy, what's wrong with the king?"
Feng Shu said: "A few days ago the monarch went hunting and was accidentally scratched by a wild animal and injured his eyes, so that he lost his eyesight and could not see. The Chinese doctors and wizards could not heal him, so he thought of sending an envoy to the Zhou Dynasty in desperation. The way the Son of Heaven came to help."
He said, and then said: "If the emperor can heal my monarch's illness, my country, Lu, is willing to surrender to the emperor, so that it will be good for ten thousand years."
As soon as his words fell, the princes all looked at Feng Shu in surprise. You must know that Luzi Kingdom is the most powerful country in Chidi, and even the Jin Kingdom can't do anything about them, so they have to use the method of kinship to establish diplomatic relations between the two parties. However, it is such a Luzi Kingdom that actually plans to surrender to the Son of Heaven.
Ji Lang listened, and seemed a little moved. She glanced sideways at Wu Jiu and Qi Hou. Wu Jiu and Qi Hou naturally heard it too, and they all felt that it would be a good thing if Lu Ziguo could surrender. Demonstrate the national power of Zhou State and alleviate the negative impact of Yang State's submission to Quanrong.
However, Wu Jiu still felt that it seemed strange that Lu Ziguo was so powerful that he suddenly wanted to surrender, and it was still at this juncture.
Everyone was silent for a while, Feng Shu cupped his hands and said: "For the sake of our country, no matter whether our monarch can be cured or not, as long as the emperor agrees to the treatment, our country will send a large number of gold, silver and BMWs. Now the team of gold, silver and BMWs is ready. They can all be sent to Hulao Pass.”
Ji Lang glanced at Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi again, then said with a smile, "The envoys of the Lu Kingdom are exhausted from traveling all the way, so please go to the camp to rest first. I will discuss these matters with the princes, and then I will ask you to reply to the envoys." minister."
Feng Shu didn't force it either, but respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Son of Heaven."
After Feng Shu finished speaking, he retreated and was led by the eunuch to stay at the bed. As soon as he left the shogunate, the shogunate almost exploded, and everyone started discussing immediately.
Ji Lang sat at the top, looked at the crowd, and said, "Everyone just heard that, if you have any opinions, just say it."
At this time, Juzi was the first to stand up impatiently, and said: "Son of Heaven, this is a good thing, Luzi Kingdom is the strongest country among the Di people, if it can submit to our dynasty, it will benefit and cause no harm. "
When Juzi said this, Duke Guo immediately said: "Yes, yes, think about it, Son of Heaven, if even Lu State submits to us, once word spreads, the other Fang States will be afraid of the majesty of our Zhou State. There will be innumerable Fang Guos who will submit to them.”
Everyone heard what Juzi and Guogong said, and they all felt that it was true. If Luziguo could submit to him, it would be a great honor. Only by making some deeds can the princes and high officials submit, and there is a great opportunity in front of them.
Although there are indeed many benefits, Wu Jiu frowned, cupped his hands and said, "But Lu State and Zhou State have always been at odds. What Feng Shu said was actually an excuse. He just wanted a chance to cross the Hulao Pass and attack Xingyuan. So what should I do?"
As soon as he said this, the crowd immediately started clamoring again, what Wu Jiu said was also true.
Hulao Pass has always been a natural danger, and it is a place that military strategists must contend for. Not only in the period of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, but also in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, Hulao Pass was also an important stronghold for various countries to compete for.
Hulao Pass is very strong, and it is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north. The Yellow River is a natural danger. In this age, it is very difficult to cross the river. After all, there are no bridges or tunnels. Crossing the river is all done by manpower and material resources.
The people of Luzi Kingdom generally invaded around the Jin Kingdom, and rarely went to the south of the Yellow River, because of this natural danger.
The danger of the Yellow River has already blocked Luziguo's route to the south, coupled with the strength of Hulao Pass, after passing Hulao Pass, there is a canyon with two high walls. It is very difficult for people from Luziguo to enter the tiger prison, as if it is as difficult as ascending to the sky.
Therefore, if the people of Luziguo wanted to take the opportunity to attack them, the best way would be to let the people of Zhouguo open the gate of Hulao Pass by themselves and enter in a legitimate way.
As long as the army sent by Luzi Kingdom to send gold, silver, and BMW is different, the soldiers of Zhou State will be caught off guard, and it will only take half a day for Xingyuan Bureau to leave the Hulao Pass. Let alone the princes.
There are so many vassals here, if the people of Luzi Kingdom were really malicious, they might all be captured by them.
It is not unreasonable for Wu Jiu to say this. Everyone woke up from their dreams when he mentioned this point. You look at me and I look at you.
When Juzi heard this, he quickly said to Wu Jiu: "Lu Guo deliberately brought gold, silver and BMW just to seek medical treatment. This condition is also reasonable. Why does the king of Chu treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?"
Guo Gong immediately agreed, saying: "Yes, my son, Lu's envoys are obviously very sincere. Besides, their king is blind, and Lu's people are barbaric. They are not very civilized at all. They must not have our medical skills." Gao Ming, if the Son of Heaven really has doubts, why don't you ask the spies to find out if the monarch of Luzi Kingdom is blind? Why bother listening to other people's suspicions here?"
Ju Zi and Guo Gong obviously aimed at Wu Jiu. Qi Hou narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when Wu Jiu stopped him. Wu Jiu shook his head at him. Qi Hou didn't know why Wu Jiu stopped him.
Ji Lang frowned, and said: "Everyone's words are very reasonable. Let's do this. These days, I will first order to entertain the envoys of Luzi Kingdom, and then send people to investigate secretly. Look at the king of Luzi Kingdom. Are you blind?"
The result of the discussion was as Juzi and Duke Guo hoped. Ji Lang temporarily stabilized Luziguo's envoy Feng Shu, and then sent someone to investigate the real situation of Luziguo and see if their king's eyes were all right.
If the investigation results are true, then Ji Lang will definitely accept Luziguo's surrender with pleasure.
The crowd quickly dispersed, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou came out of the camp, Qi Hou said: "Second brother, why did you stop Gu?"
Wu Jiu and Qihou walked back to their camp, and Wu Jiu said: "Ju Zi and Guo Gong unanimously agreed to accept the surrender of Lu Ziguo, and they also showed eager expressions on their faces. Jiu felt that there was something strange about this matter..."
Qihou rolled his eyes and said, "Second brother means..."
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "Maybe this is the third trick between Ju Zi and Guo Gong. The Son of Heaven has already sent spies to check on the monarch of Luzi Kingdom. The actions of Ju Zi and Guo Gong may get twice the result with half the effort."
Qihou nodded and said, "Second brother is still thoughtful."
Wu Jiu said: "It's best to be careful about this matter. Don't let Ju Zi and Guo Gong find out. Now that those two people have gained sweetness in the shogunate, they must be arrogant again, just to make them arrogant." , so that it is easy to show the horse's feet."
Qi Hou quickly ordered people to investigate, and Wu Jiu also asked Pan Chong to investigate this matter.
Ji Lang first comforted Feng Shu, the envoy of Luzi Kingdom, Feng Shu has been doing his duty since he came, doing nothing but resting in the camp, occasionally meeting others is also respectful.
A few days later, the spies sent by Ji Lang returned, and the spies sent by Pan Chong also returned at the same time. The results of the spies on both sides were very consistent, and the news from Luziguo was the same as what Feng Shu said.
The monarch of Luzi Kingdom went hunting a few days ago, but was accidentally scratched by a wild animal and injured his eyes. Now he is blind and unable to see. Although Luzi Kingdom is brave and good at fighting, they do not have any advanced culture and have always worshiped witchcraft. But witchcraft can't solve the problem of Luzi's monarch's eyesight at all, so after all the ministers discussed, they asked the Prime Minister Feng Shu to lead the envoys to Zhou to ask for peace.
Everything sounds normal, Feng Shu is completely for the sake of the king, and Lu Ziguo has no choice but to surrender.
However, Pan Chong also heard other versions. Pan Chong cupped his hands and said, "However, there is another version circulating in Luzi Kingdom."
Wu Jiu said, "What is it?"
Pan Chong said: "Feng Shu's power in the Luzi Kingdom was overwhelming. Pan Chong didn't know whether a political enemy deliberately seriously injured him or it was true. There is a saying that the eyes of the king of Luzi Kingdom were not scratched by wild animals, but While hunting, he was shot blind by Feng Shu..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou said in unison in surprise, "The one who shot blind?"
Because it is still the early Spring and Autumn Period and the middle page, although the etiquette and righteousness have collapsed, they have not collapsed on the surface. If someone commits a rebellion, he will definitely be punished by everyone, whether it is a righteous person or a moral kidnapper. And they will be attacked by groups, so this kind of blatant shooting of the monarch's eyes is still creepy to hear.
Pan Chong nodded and said, "There is indeed such a saying, but Pan Chong does not know whether it is true or not."
Wu Jiao squinted his eyes. Anyway, he felt that Feng Shu was not very simple. If Feng Shu really shot the monarch blind and came to seek medical treatment, then he had ulterior motives, and Wu Jiao's previous concerns might change. become a fact.
Qihou said: "Now that the spies sent by the emperor have returned and confirmed Feng Shu's words, no matter what, the king of Lu is blind. Juzi and Duke Guo will definitely persuade the emperor to surrender to Lu. You have to be prepared.”
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Exactly. I don't know if there is any change in Ju State and Guo State?"
While they were talking, Zhanxiong suddenly came in from the outside, in a hurry, and said: "Second brother, third brother, people from Ju and Guo are quietly mobilizing the troops stationed outside Xingyuan."
Zhan Xiong came just in time, Wu Jiu and Marquis of Qi immediately believed the second statement [-]% when they heard it, if it wasn't because Juzi Guogong united with Luziguo's Feng Shu, then why at this time , the garrisons of Ju State and Guo State will start to be mobilized?
Wu Jiu squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that Ju Zi and Guo Gong are really uneasy."
Qihou said: "Go and continue to monitor the movements of Ju and Guo."
Because what Feng Shu said was true, the ruler of Luzi Kingdom was indeed blind and was seeking medical treatment, so Ji Lang accepted Feng Shu's suggestion and decided to heal the ruler of Luzi Kingdom's eyes, and hosted a banquet in honor of Feng Shu.
Feng Shu also ordered people to go back to the country, and brought the news back to Luzi Kingdom, the convoy escorting the gold, silver and BMWs was about to leave, and would soon arrive outside Hulao Pass, ready to deliver the pilgrimage gifts.
The Son of Heaven hosted a banquet in honor of Feng Shu, a powerful minister of Luzi Kingdom, and the banquet was held at dusk of the next day, and the team from Luzi Kingdom who sent congratulatory gifts happened to be able to pass through Hulao Pass at noon of the next day, and reach Xingyuan when the banquet was held.
At the same time, there was a new mobilization of Ju and Guo soldiers stationed outside the camp. Wu Jiu felt that these things were too coincidental. He wanted to take advantage of the unsuspecting emperor and princes at the banquet to make a killing.
If there are weapons hidden in the congratulatory team entering Hulao Pass, when the door of Hulao is closed and opened, the army of Luzi State will rush in. Guoben's soldiers and horses stationed outside the Xingyuan, although the three soldiers and horses alone are not very powerful, but if the three soldiers and horses are twisted together, it is quite impressive.
The princes at the banquet certainly did not take precautions. When the time came, they would be caught off guard, and there would be chaos, and it would be no problem to capture the emperor and princes.
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "We need to see the Son of Heaven and Duke Zheng for the matter of Hulao Pass. As for the garrison of troops in Guo State and Ju State, there is nothing to worry about."
Qihou raised his eyebrows and said, "Although there are not many garrisons in Guo State and Ju State, there are five or six thousand in total. If they really rushed to surround Xingyuan, it should not be underestimated. What is the magic trick of Second Brother?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Well, there is a magic method..."
As he said, he hooked his index finger to Tang Wu who was standing behind and waiting.
Tang Wu stood dutifully, but Wu Jiao suddenly hooked his fingers with a smile on his face, Tang Wu immediately felt Qihou staring at him with a grim expression, and felt a lot of pressure.
Seeing Wu Tang not moving, Wu Jiu said, "Tang'er, come here, I have something to whisper to you."
Tang Wu was helpless, so she had no choice but to walk over and said respectfully, "What orders does your majesty have?"
Although Tang Wu came over, he didn't get very close, and kept a proper distance. Qihou stared at the two of them, as if Tang Wu was about to pounce on them and bite them like Dabai when he got closer. of.
Wu Jiu stroked his chin, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Tang'er, I ask you, do you have any crotons?"
Tang Wu asked suspiciously: "Crotou?"
Wu Jiu said: "It's the kind of medicinal materials that can make people suffer from diarrhea after eating. If they are mixed with rice, they have no taste."
Tang Wu's eyelids twitched wildly, and said: "Yes, there is, I wonder what the king is going to do?"
Wu Jiu said with a smile, "Mm...the widow is of great use."
At that time, Wu Jiu didn't see Ju Zi and Guo Gong, so naturally there was nothing about being chased by a tiger, but Ju Zi and Guo Gong followed Wu Jiu's words and kept agreeing, obviously they had ghosts in their hearts.
Wu Jiu suddenly sneered, Ju Zi and Guo Gong's faces were stiff, and they didn't know what they said wrong, so they quickly said something, took their leave and left.
Wu Jiu felt that this was not an easy matter, so he and Qi Hou came to the door of Ji Lang's camp, gave an announcement, and went in.
Ji Lang fell off the horse, scratched his elbow and sprained his ankle.
Prince Zhengzheng squatted on the ground, and personally bandaged Ji Lang's ankle. Ji Lang showed a leg. The white calf was very smooth, but when it reached the ankle, it swelled up a lot, and it seemed that the injury was not serious.
The position of the elbow is a scratch from falling from a horse, and it has been bandaged up, so there is nothing serious about it.
Wu Jiu saluted with the Marquis of Qi, and Ji Lang said, "You don't need to be too polite, are the King of Chu and the Duke of Qi injured?"
Qihou cupped his hands and said, "I was protected by the emperor, and I was not injured."
Ji Lang nodded and said, "That's good... I don't know what's the matter with you two?"
Wu Jiu told about the hunting marks on the tiger, and about Ju Zi and Guo Gong, and Ji Lang's expression turned cold.
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "It's just that there is no evidence to prove that Ju Gong and Guo Gong did it."
Ji Lang's face was serious, and he said: "A few days ago, when Ju and Guo disrupted the alliance, I have already started to suspect them. Now these two people are becoming more and more suspicious."
Wu Jiu said: "Ju Gong and Guo Gong did not succeed in their tricks. There must have been other tricks before the alliance. Please be more careful."
Ji Lang said: "Thank you King Chu for telling me, I will be careful."
He said again: "In addition, please pay attention to the matter of Duke Ju and Duke Guo."
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou nodded, and after everyone ventilated, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou planned to leave.
The two went back to the tent to rest. Wu Jiu must check whether Qi Hou was injured. After all, Qi Hou rushed to fight the tiger alone. Qi Hou is not a swordsman, he is a king. After all, fighting tigers is something that only happens in novels or beautified legends. In their day and age, there is no such thing as fighting tigers with an ancient alloy sword.
Qi Hou's actions at that time almost scared Wu Jiu to death, especially the son Ji was injured, and his bloody appearance was really terrifying.
Wu Jiu insisted on inspecting Marquis Qi, and Marquis Qi was willing to inspect Wu Jiu when he saw that he was in such a hurry, so he sat on the mat, stretched out his black sleeves, and his hands were flat, as if he wanted to be picked by the king.
Qi Hou didn't know that his elegant and sexy appearance, in Wu Jiu's eyes, turned out to be like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes, walked over and tore off Qihou's robe, Qihou raised his eyebrows, and said with a low, hoarse voice, "Second Brother, you acted so violently, if Gu gets injured, Isn't it going to hurt to death? You have to take pity on Gu Cai."
Hearing what he said, Wu Jiu almost spat on Qihou's face, thinking that you should show some face, Your Majesty, but his movements were gentler, in case Qihou was really hurt and would hurt him again.
Wu Jiu took off Qi Hou's clothes, checked carefully, Qi Hou sat upright, not shy at all, asked Wu Jiu to look carefully, it seemed that there was really no wound.
Wu Jiu really admires Marquis Qi, he knows how to eat all day long, but his martial arts are so outstanding, and his figure is not bad, even Wu Jiu thinks that Marquis Qi's abs are fake, but they are hard. Correction is really felt.
In fact, Qihou is not idle. He suffered a lot when he was a child. The Zhou Dynasty liked to stand up. As a young son, Qihou is the youngest son, so he was not treated well. He was treated poorly when he was a child. If you do everything, you will practice good kung fu, and your physical fitness will be very good since childhood.
After Wu Jiao finished the inspection, he blushed a little and hurriedly put on clothes for Qi Hou, but Qi Hou yelled "Ouch!" at this moment, as if he was in extreme pain.
Wu Jiao was taken aback, and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Where is the injury, show me!"
Wu Jiu was very nervous, and hurriedly supported Qi Hou who was moaning continuously. Qi Hou frowned, grinned, and stretched out his hand pitifully, opened his palm, pointed to his palm for Wu Jiu, and said, "Second brother, hurry up!" Look, it hurts badly."
Wu Jiu looked down, but he didn't see what was going on. He grabbed Qihou's palm and looked carefully. Then he realized that there was a small wound about one millimeter in Qihou's palm. I touched something scratched, not even bleeding, just scratched a little skin.
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes at Qi Hou, Qi Hou said: "Second Brother, don't you want to brag to Gu?"
Wu Jiao was so angry that he said casually, "I'll lick it for you!"
Qi Hou was eager to try it immediately, stretched out his palm and put it next to Wu Jiu's mouth, looking very expectant.
Wu Jiu opened his hand, ignored him, and quickly walked to the side and sat down.
Wu corrected down a cup of tea to alleviate his embarrassment, and said, "Speak to your majesty about something serious. The attitudes of Ju Zi and Guo Gong are very obvious. Maybe they were responsible for Yang Guo's affairs. After that, the two countries There will definitely be another change, they have failed twice in a row, I don't know what the third move is."
Qihou nodded his head, when he was joking just now he had a reckless face, now when he talked about the business, he restrained his smile, frowned and sneered, and said: "Juzi and Guogong are people who don't know how to live or die. "
Qi Hou said again: "Gu asked people to strengthen the guards. The emperor just handed over the guards of Xingyuan to Gu and Zheng Gong. Then Gu and Zheng Gong will make up again."
Wu Jiu nodded.
Zheng Tu is now in Gongzi Ji's tent, he hasn't left all day, and stays by late at night. Gongzi Ji has been in a comatose stage due to excessive blood loss, and he got better when he got up in the morning, and slowly woke up.
When Young Master Ji woke up, Wu Jiu Qihou took Xiao Ziwen to see Young Master Ji, and Tang Wu was changing his medicine.
Young Master Ji opened his eyes in confusion, and saw Tang Wu who was changing his dressing, and immediately became even more confused. He seemed to have a dream yesterday, in which he saw a man standing by his couch, wiping his sweat meticulously , look at his wounds.
But as soon as he opened his eyes, that person disappeared. Young Master Ji felt that he must be dreaming, otherwise why would he dream that that person was taking care of him? That is impossible.
Seeing that he woke up, Wu Jiao immediately said, "Young Master, how are you feeling?"
Young Master Ji shook his head and said, "It's all right."
It's just that the blood loss cannot be replenished in a short time, and there is no blood transfusion in this era. Wu Jiu can fully understand that feeling, and he has lost too much blood before.
Young master Ji was still very weak, and he didn't have much strength to speak, and he woke up a little bit exhausted, and then lay back down.
Xiao Ziwen was very sensible, brought over a cup of hot water, Xiao Rou held the cup in his hand, and fed it to Young Master Ji to drink.
Young Master Ji smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince."
Xiao Ziwen said: "Master, it's good to have a rest."
They were visiting Young Master Ji, when they heard the curtains clattering, followed by a man in a black robe, who was tall and not young anymore, with a mustache on his chin. But it seems that there is a feeling of being romantic and handsome. There is a saying that the older a man is, the more popular he is. This sentence is vividly reflected in this man.
Everyone looked back and saw that it was Zheng Tu who came in. When he reached the door, he didn't go any further, but said, "King Chu, Duke Qi, the Son of Heaven has invited you. It seems that there is something important to do."
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou quickly stood up, ready to go out, Wu Jiao asked Tang Wu to change the dressing for the young master Ji Haosheng, and the two went to see the emperor first.
Zheng Tu waited for Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi to leave, and he wanted to leave too, but at this moment he heard Young Master Ji talking.
Yesterday, someone took care of him, Young Master Ji could feel it, and thought it was Zheng Tu, but when he opened his eyes, he didn't see Zheng Tu at all, but Tang Wu was changing his medicine.
Tang Wu is a doctor, and his actions are careful, which is his duty. Young Master Ji smiled and said to Tang Wu: "Thank you for taking care of me, I worked hard for you yesterday, did you not rest all night?"
Tang Wu raised his head, looked at Young Master Ji calmly, and then said, "The young master may have misunderstood the person. Tang'er was only in charge of changing the dressing. It was Mr. Zheng who took care of the young master last night."
When he said this, Young Master Ji was taken aback immediately, and raised his head in surprise, Uncle Zheng happened to leave the camp before he had time to leave, but was overthrown by Tang Wu, looking back, he happened to be surprised by Senior Young Master Ji face.
Zheng Tu raised his hand, stroked his beard stubble irritably, and said, "Just by the way."
As he spoke, he quickly walked out of the tent, lowered the curtain, and made a "crash".
Young Master Ji was so surprised that he hadn't recovered yet, Tang Wu said lightly: "Tang'er doesn't know if there is any misunderstanding between Zheng Gong and the young master, but after the young master was injured yesterday, it was Zheng Gong who pressed the young master's wound all the way. He came back with the young master in his arms, Zheng Gong also took care of the young master last night, according to Tanger's opinion... there should be no misunderstanding."
Young Master Ji was even more surprised, unable to recover for a long time, Tang Wu bandaged his wound, and said: "Young master rest first, Tang'er is going to get some hot soup to wipe the young master's sweat."
As the curtain was lowered again, Young Master Ji came back to his senses. Tang Wu said that the person who was busy in front of the bed last night was Zheng Tu himself...
Young Master Ji couldn't believe it. After all, because of his young and reckless behavior, Zheng Tu suffered a lot of humiliation. His body was full of scars. Those scars were not medals for military exploits, but witnesses of humiliation. The princes laughed at him, and even Zheng Tu The ministers of the country also felt that he was not worthy of being a king.
Zheng Tu was also brooding over such humiliation and was very irritable. It was hard for Young Master Ji to imagine why Zheng Tu took care of himself.
Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi walked out of the tent, Zheng Tu soon followed, the three of them entered the shogunate, the shogunate is a place to discuss important matters, Ji Lang is not in his tent, but in the shogunate, naturally there must be something important.
When they walked in, they immediately found that it was unusual, because all the princes in the shogunate were sitting together, not knowing what was going on.
Seeing them coming in, Ji Lang said, "Everyone, please sit down."
Wu Jiu, Marquis Qi and Zheng Tu sat down, and Ji Lang said, "I'm anxious for all the princes to come over today, because I have a temporary matter."
He said, and then said: "Just now, I received an urgent report from the Hulao Customs Order, saying that an envoy from Luzi Kingdom is closing the door, asking for a visit. I wonder what you mean?"
When everyone heard this, they started making noises, and everyone was surprised for a while.
Why should everyone be surprised?Then we have to start with Luziguo.
Luzi State is not a feudal state of the Zhou Dynasty, but a surrounding country. Luzi State and Jin State are next to each other, just north of the Yellow River and north of Hulao Pass. Because of the close distance, Luzi State and Jin State have always been It's always been the same situation.
Regardless of Jin's large territory and strong military strength, there is no way to take Luziguo, because Luziguo is the most powerful Fangguo among Chidi people.
Although Luzi State is an illegal and independent country, the Zhou emperors for several generations have had nothing to do with them, so Luzi State has survived for a long time, and it has become stronger from generation to generation.
Lu Ziguo is a model among the Chidi people, they are brave and good at fighting, and they have always had a hostile relationship with Zhou Guo, but now they suddenly send envoys, and they are still in the alliance period, how can everyone not make noise?They all feel very strange, I am afraid there is a fraud.
In the eyes of Chidi people, Zhou people are cunning, in the eyes of Zhou people, Chidi people are cunning and fierce, anyway, they hate each other.
Luziguo's envoys are already at Hulao, and if they are allowed to go, they will be able to reach Xingyuan tonight.
Zheng Tu received the urgent report of the Hulao Customs Order, and immediately reported it to the emperor. At this time, he explained: "According to the words of the envoys of the Luzi Kingdom, they are here for peace talks."
Everyone was even more suspicious. Now that Lu Ziguo is in a powerful period, why would he suddenly have peace talks with them?It doesn't really make sense.
Wu Jiu frowned, and said, "May I ask Mr. Zheng, did the Hulao Customs Order report how many troops Luziguo's envoys have brought?"
Zheng Tu cupped his hands and said: "There are indeed reports that there are only 20 people in total, three horses, no chariots or luggage."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in blank dismay. There were only twenty people in total, and only three horses, and none of them had a cart or luggage, which meant that there was no way to hide things.
Ji Lang said: "Everyone doesn't know, and the envoy of Luzi Kingdom is their country's Prime Minister Feng Shu."
This series of events surprised everyone, one surprise after another. Feng Shu is a person who can be said to be at the same level as Ji Zhong of Zheng State back then. Feng Shu is a powerful minister of Luzi Kingdom, equivalent to the Prime Minister With his position and power, even the monarch of Luzi Kingdom would look at him.
And this Luzi Kingdom's world minister, brought nineteen people and three horses, to the gate of Hulao, wanting to see him and ask for peace.
Everyone frowned, Qihou said: "The state of Zhou is a big country. If an envoy fails to see him at the gate, he will be ridiculed."
Wu Jiu nodded, it was true, especially the envoys of Luzi Kingdom were only [-] people, but everyone was afraid of being cheated, so Ji Lang asked Qihou Zheng Bo to arrange troops and horses, ordered the switch to let go, and was ready to welcome Luzi ambassador of the country.
At the same time, a banquet was set up for hospitality, and it was almost noon, because of a sudden incident, it took half a day for Luziguo's envoys to arrive here from Hulao, and it happened to be a dinner when they came.
Everyone went to work at once, and Qi Hou hurriedly went with Zheng Bo to organize the army, lest Lu Ziguo be deceived.
At dusk, Lu Ziguo's team came, a total of [-] people, the first three were on horseback, and the rest were all running. The infantry had no horses, but they ran over in half a day. These people's physical strength was amazing. underestimate.
It is a very simple team. The man at the head is riding a horse and wearing red clothes. The Chidi people are a typical race that worships red, so their official robes are actually red, and the soldiers behind them are also in dark red armor. Zhou Guo advocated black.
The man at the head is Feng Shu, the powerful minister of Luzi Kingdom. Feng Shu is very young. Feng's family was everyone in Luzi Kingdom. Guozhi is submissive, just like everyone knows, even the king has to look at Feng Shu.
Feng Shu had a ruthless look on his face, he was only around twenty years old, and he might be on the left side, very young, wearing a red robe, a white belt around his waist, and a fiery red jade crown on his head.
Luziguo's costumes are actually similar to theirs. Although in the eyes of Zhou people, Chidi people are all barbarians, but today's Luziguo has been assimilated by Zhou Wenhua a lot, and many Di people and Rong people, including Nanman Chu and the barbarians in the east are actually fashioned after Zhou Wenhua, so their dress is similar to that of Zhou, not as barbaric as everyone imagined.
In particular, Feng Shu, the country's Prime Minister, has a gentle look on his face, but he has a bit of a picture, and his smile is a bit sinister.
When Feng Shu came to the gate of Xingyuan, Ji Lang was the Son of Heaven, so naturally he couldn't greet him, Zheng Bo was the host, Wu Jiu was the King of Chu, with the highest rank, and Qihou was in charge of guarding, so Wu Jiu and Qihou also came to greet him.
The three of them were all dressed in black, standing at the gate of Xingyuan, followed by a large group of soldiers, as if they were people who wanted to frighten Lu Ziguo.
Zhou Guo's three-way army was facing twenty people from Luzi Kingdom, the proportion was really disproportionate, Feng Shu got off his horse, his red robe grinned in the summer wind, and he was holding on to the integrity of Zhou Guoren's envoy , looking decent, walked over alone, and said with a smile: "King Chu, Duke Qi, Duke Zheng, foreign minister Feng Shu is very polite."
When the three of them heard Feng Shu speak, they couldn't help but looked at each other, as if they were a little surprised, because Feng Shu, as a native of Luzi Kingdom, understood their words and spoke them fluently, with a slight accent. That's all.
Moreover, Feng Shu had never been to the territory of Zhou State, but he recognized the three of them clearly without any deviation.
Wu Jiu raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands to Feng Shu and said, "I've heard about Dr. Feng's name from Luzi Guo for a long time, now that I see him, his reputation is well-deserved."
Feng Shu smiled, and said: "The king of Chu is serious. The king of Chu is a man of talent, and he really looks like a king. Feng Shu feels ashamed even when he looks up. He really has no place to be ashamed."
Feng Shu's eloquence is quite good.
Feng Shu smiled and said: "Today, Feng Shu was sent as an envoy by the order of the king. To show his sincerity, he did not bring many envoys. Please be patient."
As he spoke, he turned his head and said something, and the soldiers behind him immediately put down their weapons, bent down and threw them on the ground at their feet, and then stepped out of the line and lined up neatly.
When everyone saw it, Lu Ziguo's envoys specially unloaded their weapons and entered the camp to express their sincerity.
Even Wu Jiu couldn't figure out what Feng Shu meant. Could it be that he really came here for peace talks?If you really come to peace talks, why bother to find this opportunity.
The crowd led Feng Shu to the palace, and soon came to the shogunate.
There was already a banquet in the shogunate. As the emperor, Ji Lang was already sitting at the banquet. When he saw them coming in, he smiled and said, "Envoy of the Lu Kingdom."
Feng Shu respectfully held up his knuckles and said with a smile, "Feng Shu pays homage to the Son of Heaven."
As Feng Shu said, he even knelt down and went to pay prostration to see him. All the princes present looked at each other in blank dismay.
Ji Lang smiled and said, "As an envoy from the Lu Kingdom, why do you have to show such a grand ceremony?"
Feng Shu knelt on the ground without getting up, and said: "To be honest, Feng Shu came here this time to ask the Son of Heaven, so this great gift must be performed."
When everyone hears it, do you have any requests?Suddenly came to his senses, no wonder he was so polite.
Ji Lang said: "Oh? I don't know what you are asking for? If I can help you, I will naturally help. I ask the envoys of the Lu Kingdom to get up first."
Only now did Feng Shu stand up, sat on a seat beside him, and said: "To be honest, Feng Shu heard that the medical skills of Zhou State are amazing, especially that there is a young man named Tang Wu under the king of Chu, whose medical skills are even more superb. So Feng Shu wanted to beg the Son of Heaven and the King of Chu to ask a doctor to come and treat the king of our country."
Ji Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "May I ask the envoy, what's wrong with the king?"
Feng Shu said: "A few days ago the monarch went hunting and was accidentally scratched by a wild animal and injured his eyes, so that he lost his eyesight and could not see. The Chinese doctors and wizards could not heal him, so he thought of sending an envoy to the Zhou Dynasty in desperation. The way the Son of Heaven came to help."
He said, and then said: "If the emperor can heal my monarch's illness, my country, Lu, is willing to surrender to the emperor, so that it will be good for ten thousand years."
As soon as his words fell, the princes all looked at Feng Shu in surprise. You must know that Luzi Kingdom is the most powerful country in Chidi, and even the Jin Kingdom can't do anything about them, so they have to use the method of kinship to establish diplomatic relations between the two parties. However, it is such a Luzi Kingdom that actually plans to surrender to the Son of Heaven.
Ji Lang listened, and seemed a little moved. She glanced sideways at Wu Jiu and Qi Hou. Wu Jiu and Qi Hou naturally heard it too, and they all felt that it would be a good thing if Lu Ziguo could surrender. Demonstrate the national power of Zhou State and alleviate the negative impact of Yang State's submission to Quanrong.
However, Wu Jiu still felt that it seemed strange that Lu Ziguo was so powerful that he suddenly wanted to surrender, and it was still at this juncture.
Everyone was silent for a while, Feng Shu cupped his hands and said: "For the sake of our country, no matter whether our monarch can be cured or not, as long as the emperor agrees to the treatment, our country will send a large number of gold, silver and BMWs. Now the team of gold, silver and BMWs is ready. They can all be sent to Hulao Pass.”
Ji Lang glanced at Wu Jiu and Marquis Qi again, then said with a smile, "The envoys of the Lu Kingdom are exhausted from traveling all the way, so please go to the camp to rest first. I will discuss these matters with the princes, and then I will ask you to reply to the envoys." minister."
Feng Shu didn't force it either, but respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Son of Heaven."
After Feng Shu finished speaking, he retreated and was led by the eunuch to stay at the bed. As soon as he left the shogunate, the shogunate almost exploded, and everyone started discussing immediately.
Ji Lang sat at the top, looked at the crowd, and said, "Everyone just heard that, if you have any opinions, just say it."
At this time, Juzi was the first to stand up impatiently, and said: "Son of Heaven, this is a good thing, Luzi Kingdom is the strongest country among the Di people, if it can submit to our dynasty, it will benefit and cause no harm. "
When Juzi said this, Duke Guo immediately said: "Yes, yes, think about it, Son of Heaven, if even Lu State submits to us, once word spreads, the other Fang States will be afraid of the majesty of our Zhou State. There will be innumerable Fang Guos who will submit to them.”
Everyone heard what Juzi and Guogong said, and they all felt that it was true. If Luziguo could submit to him, it would be a great honor. Only by making some deeds can the princes and high officials submit, and there is a great opportunity in front of them.
Although there are indeed many benefits, Wu Jiu frowned, cupped his hands and said, "But Lu State and Zhou State have always been at odds. What Feng Shu said was actually an excuse. He just wanted a chance to cross the Hulao Pass and attack Xingyuan. So what should I do?"
As soon as he said this, the crowd immediately started clamoring again, what Wu Jiu said was also true.
Hulao Pass has always been a natural danger, and it is a place that military strategists must contend for. Not only in the period of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, but also in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, Hulao Pass was also an important stronghold for various countries to compete for.
Hulao Pass is very strong, and it is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north. The Yellow River is a natural danger. In this age, it is very difficult to cross the river. After all, there are no bridges or tunnels. Crossing the river is all done by manpower and material resources.
The people of Luzi Kingdom generally invaded around the Jin Kingdom, and rarely went to the south of the Yellow River, because of this natural danger.
The danger of the Yellow River has already blocked Luziguo's route to the south, coupled with the strength of Hulao Pass, after passing Hulao Pass, there is a canyon with two high walls. It is very difficult for people from Luziguo to enter the tiger prison, as if it is as difficult as ascending to the sky.
Therefore, if the people of Luziguo wanted to take the opportunity to attack them, the best way would be to let the people of Zhouguo open the gate of Hulao Pass by themselves and enter in a legitimate way.
As long as the army sent by Luzi Kingdom to send gold, silver, and BMW is different, the soldiers of Zhou State will be caught off guard, and it will only take half a day for Xingyuan Bureau to leave the Hulao Pass. Let alone the princes.
There are so many vassals here, if the people of Luzi Kingdom were really malicious, they might all be captured by them.
It is not unreasonable for Wu Jiu to say this. Everyone woke up from their dreams when he mentioned this point. You look at me and I look at you.
When Juzi heard this, he quickly said to Wu Jiu: "Lu Guo deliberately brought gold, silver and BMW just to seek medical treatment. This condition is also reasonable. Why does the king of Chu treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?"
Guo Gong immediately agreed, saying: "Yes, my son, Lu's envoys are obviously very sincere. Besides, their king is blind, and Lu's people are barbaric. They are not very civilized at all. They must not have our medical skills." Gao Ming, if the Son of Heaven really has doubts, why don't you ask the spies to find out if the monarch of Luzi Kingdom is blind? Why bother listening to other people's suspicions here?"
Ju Zi and Guo Gong obviously aimed at Wu Jiu. Qi Hou narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when Wu Jiu stopped him. Wu Jiu shook his head at him. Qi Hou didn't know why Wu Jiu stopped him.
Ji Lang frowned, and said: "Everyone's words are very reasonable. Let's do this. These days, I will first order to entertain the envoys of Luzi Kingdom, and then send people to investigate secretly. Look at the king of Luzi Kingdom. Are you blind?"
The result of the discussion was as Juzi and Duke Guo hoped. Ji Lang temporarily stabilized Luziguo's envoy Feng Shu, and then sent someone to investigate the real situation of Luziguo and see if their king's eyes were all right.
If the investigation results are true, then Ji Lang will definitely accept Luziguo's surrender with pleasure.
The crowd quickly dispersed, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou came out of the camp, Qi Hou said: "Second brother, why did you stop Gu?"
Wu Jiu and Qihou walked back to their camp, and Wu Jiu said: "Ju Zi and Guo Gong unanimously agreed to accept the surrender of Lu Ziguo, and they also showed eager expressions on their faces. Jiu felt that there was something strange about this matter..."
Qihou rolled his eyes and said, "Second brother means..."
Wu Jiu laughed and said, "Maybe this is the third trick between Ju Zi and Guo Gong. The Son of Heaven has already sent spies to check on the monarch of Luzi Kingdom. The actions of Ju Zi and Guo Gong may get twice the result with half the effort."
Qihou nodded and said, "Second brother is still thoughtful."
Wu Jiu said: "It's best to be careful about this matter. Don't let Ju Zi and Guo Gong find out. Now that those two people have gained sweetness in the shogunate, they must be arrogant again, just to make them arrogant." , so that it is easy to show the horse's feet."
Qi Hou quickly ordered people to investigate, and Wu Jiu also asked Pan Chong to investigate this matter.
Ji Lang first comforted Feng Shu, the envoy of Luzi Kingdom, Feng Shu has been doing his duty since he came, doing nothing but resting in the camp, occasionally meeting others is also respectful.
A few days later, the spies sent by Ji Lang returned, and the spies sent by Pan Chong also returned at the same time. The results of the spies on both sides were very consistent, and the news from Luziguo was the same as what Feng Shu said.
The monarch of Luzi Kingdom went hunting a few days ago, but was accidentally scratched by a wild animal and injured his eyes. Now he is blind and unable to see. Although Luzi Kingdom is brave and good at fighting, they do not have any advanced culture and have always worshiped witchcraft. But witchcraft can't solve the problem of Luzi's monarch's eyesight at all, so after all the ministers discussed, they asked the Prime Minister Feng Shu to lead the envoys to Zhou to ask for peace.
Everything sounds normal, Feng Shu is completely for the sake of the king, and Lu Ziguo has no choice but to surrender.
However, Pan Chong also heard other versions. Pan Chong cupped his hands and said, "However, there is another version circulating in Luzi Kingdom."
Wu Jiu said, "What is it?"
Pan Chong said: "Feng Shu's power in the Luzi Kingdom was overwhelming. Pan Chong didn't know whether a political enemy deliberately seriously injured him or it was true. There is a saying that the eyes of the king of Luzi Kingdom were not scratched by wild animals, but While hunting, he was shot blind by Feng Shu..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou said in unison in surprise, "The one who shot blind?"
Because it is still the early Spring and Autumn Period and the middle page, although the etiquette and righteousness have collapsed, they have not collapsed on the surface. If someone commits a rebellion, he will definitely be punished by everyone, whether it is a righteous person or a moral kidnapper. And they will be attacked by groups, so this kind of blatant shooting of the monarch's eyes is still creepy to hear.
Pan Chong nodded and said, "There is indeed such a saying, but Pan Chong does not know whether it is true or not."
Wu Jiao squinted his eyes. Anyway, he felt that Feng Shu was not very simple. If Feng Shu really shot the monarch blind and came to seek medical treatment, then he had ulterior motives, and Wu Jiao's previous concerns might change. become a fact.
Qihou said: "Now that the spies sent by the emperor have returned and confirmed Feng Shu's words, no matter what, the king of Lu is blind. Juzi and Duke Guo will definitely persuade the emperor to surrender to Lu. You have to be prepared.”
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Exactly. I don't know if there is any change in Ju State and Guo State?"
While they were talking, Zhanxiong suddenly came in from the outside, in a hurry, and said: "Second brother, third brother, people from Ju and Guo are quietly mobilizing the troops stationed outside Xingyuan."
Zhan Xiong came just in time, Wu Jiu and Marquis of Qi immediately believed the second statement [-]% when they heard it, if it wasn't because Juzi Guogong united with Luziguo's Feng Shu, then why at this time , the garrisons of Ju State and Guo State will start to be mobilized?
Wu Jiu squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that Ju Zi and Guo Gong are really uneasy."
Qihou said: "Go and continue to monitor the movements of Ju and Guo."
Because what Feng Shu said was true, the ruler of Luzi Kingdom was indeed blind and was seeking medical treatment, so Ji Lang accepted Feng Shu's suggestion and decided to heal the ruler of Luzi Kingdom's eyes, and hosted a banquet in honor of Feng Shu.
Feng Shu also ordered people to go back to the country, and brought the news back to Luzi Kingdom, the convoy escorting the gold, silver and BMWs was about to leave, and would soon arrive outside Hulao Pass, ready to deliver the pilgrimage gifts.
The Son of Heaven hosted a banquet in honor of Feng Shu, a powerful minister of Luzi Kingdom, and the banquet was held at dusk of the next day, and the team from Luzi Kingdom who sent congratulatory gifts happened to be able to pass through Hulao Pass at noon of the next day, and reach Xingyuan when the banquet was held.
At the same time, there was a new mobilization of Ju and Guo soldiers stationed outside the camp. Wu Jiu felt that these things were too coincidental. He wanted to take advantage of the unsuspecting emperor and princes at the banquet to make a killing.
If there are weapons hidden in the congratulatory team entering Hulao Pass, when the door of Hulao is closed and opened, the army of Luzi State will rush in. Guoben's soldiers and horses stationed outside the Xingyuan, although the three soldiers and horses alone are not very powerful, but if the three soldiers and horses are twisted together, it is quite impressive.
The princes at the banquet certainly did not take precautions. When the time came, they would be caught off guard, and there would be chaos, and it would be no problem to capture the emperor and princes.
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "We need to see the Son of Heaven and Duke Zheng for the matter of Hulao Pass. As for the garrison of troops in Guo State and Ju State, there is nothing to worry about."
Qihou raised his eyebrows and said, "Although there are not many garrisons in Guo State and Ju State, there are five or six thousand in total. If they really rushed to surround Xingyuan, it should not be underestimated. What is the magic trick of Second Brother?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Well, there is a magic method..."
As he said, he hooked his index finger to Tang Wu who was standing behind and waiting.
Tang Wu stood dutifully, but Wu Jiao suddenly hooked his fingers with a smile on his face, Tang Wu immediately felt Qihou staring at him with a grim expression, and felt a lot of pressure.
Seeing Wu Tang not moving, Wu Jiu said, "Tang'er, come here, I have something to whisper to you."
Tang Wu was helpless, so she had no choice but to walk over and said respectfully, "What orders does your majesty have?"
Although Tang Wu came over, he didn't get very close, and kept a proper distance. Qihou stared at the two of them, as if Tang Wu was about to pounce on them and bite them like Dabai when he got closer. of.
Wu Jiu stroked his chin, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Tang'er, I ask you, do you have any crotons?"
Tang Wu asked suspiciously: "Crotou?"
Wu Jiu said: "It's the kind of medicinal materials that can make people suffer from diarrhea after eating. If they are mixed with rice, they have no taste."
Tang Wu's eyelids twitched wildly, and said: "Yes, there is, I wonder what the king is going to do?"
Wu Jiu said with a smile, "Mm...the widow is of great use."
