Chapter 80 Entrustment (2)
Sinong, please. "
Soon, the team of the son Wukui set off, very fast, all the cavalry followed, rushed out of the city gate, and went to the suburbs. I can't see it anymore.
Wu Jiao stood outside the city gate, looking at the shadows of the team from afar. At this moment, Ziqing galloped over, sweating all over his head, and said anxiously, "My lord! Something is wrong! You should go back to the palace quickly." stop!"
Seeing that Ziqing was covered in sweat, Wu Jiao, who was always calm, turned pale with panic, and asked, "What's wrong? But something happened in the war?"
Ziqing said: "No, it's not, it's... the corpse of Young Master Zhao has just been transported back, just entered the palace, your lord, he...he took a look..."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he thought "thump" in his heart, and hurriedly drove his horse back to the palace.
Wu Jiu ran wildly all the way to the gate of the palace, quickly unloaded the horse, then ran all the way in, and ran to the small bedroom. The door of the small bedroom was full of medical officers, as if all the doctors were there, and they all knelt outside the door and waited. Lost.
Yan'e was waiting at the door, and when she saw Wu Jiu, she said anxiously, "My lord, you are here, Your Majesty..."
Wu Jiu raised his hand and said, "Where is the son's body?"
Yan'e said: "Already...already sent away. Your Majesty took a look, vomited blood in anger, and almost fainted. Da Sima sent the young master's body away first."
Wu Jiu said: "I see, Ziqing Yan'e, you take care of your lord, I'll take a look first."
Seeing that Wu Jiu was about to leave, Yan'e hurriedly called out, and said in a pale voice, "Master... You, you have to make some preparations."
Wu Jiu nodded, turned around and left quickly, looking for Da Sima, Da Sima was still in the palace, seeing Wu Jiu, quickly led him to the side hall, where Prince Zhao's body was placed, covered with ice, Covered with a piece of cloth.
Wu Jiu walked over, Wang Zicheng's father sighed and said, "Da Si Nong, do you have to see it?"
Wu Jiu nodded, Wang Zicheng grabbed the piece of cloth with a sigh, and gently lifted a corner, Wu Jiu took a deep breath, even though Yan E gave him a vaccination, Wu Jiu still I was frightened, no wonder Qi Hou vomited blood, the appearance of Young Master Zhao was really miserable.
The corpse was covered in black armor, its head had been cut off, and its body was bitten beyond recognition by wild wolves. There were many holes in its body. It must have been shot by a lot of arrows at that time. It was all festered and exuded an unpleasant smell.
At this moment, Wu Jiu could only rejoice that Young Master Wu Kui had already left for the battle.
Wu Jiu couldn't bear to look again, waved his hands, and said, "I'm going to see Your Majesty."
Wang Zicheng's father said: "Trouble Da Si Nong, please comfort Your Majesty, death...cannot be resurrected."
Wu Jiu nodded, turned around and walked out.
When he came to the small bedroom, the medical officer was taking Qi Hou's pulse, Wu Jiu walked in softly, Qi Hou was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, he didn't know if he was asleep or in a doze.
Wu Jiao went over and asked about Qi Hou's condition. The doctor said that he was deficient in both qi and blood, and he was so angry that he was infected with wind-cold and phlegm-damp.
The medical officer checked the pulse, Wu Jiu asked the medical officer to step back and boil medicine, and then asked someone to make some delicious nourishing meals, and then sat on the edge of the couch by himself.
After a long time, Qi Hou was really dozing off, and said lightly: "Second brother, have you seen Zhao'er?"
Wu Jiu said in a low voice, "I've seen it."
Qihou said: "Gu didn't expect... I didn't expect, Gu has been conceited all his life, how...how could he end up like this? Zhao'er is Gu's most beloved son, why is it like this?"
Wu Jiu said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself."
Qihou sighed deeply, Wu Jiu didn't know that Qihou was a person who had lived his whole life, and he was very proud in this life, because he avoided the shameful battle of the long spoon, and made the Lu State which he was ashamed become inferior, and also The Northern Apricot League was held in advance, and the Song Kingdom was in the palm of his hand. Everything went very smoothly, very, very smoothly.
But now, Qi Hou paid the price for a moment, and it turned out to be his most beloved son.
Qihou naturally cannot accept this fact...
Qi Hou was talking and talking, then fell asleep, fell asleep drowsily, and was still coughing after falling asleep. When coughing, there were some pink blood streaks, which seemed to be seriously ill.
Wu Jiu was a little worried. After all, Qihou, who was always strong and strong, fell ill. The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a thread. In addition, Qihou's heart knot was too heavy. I don't know what would happen after such a serious illness. .
Soon the medicine came, but Qihou was sleeping, so Wu Jiao waited for a while, and after a while, Qihou's condition began to deteriorate.
When Qihou fell asleep, he started talking nonsense, softly calling the name of Young Master Zhao, and saying some nonsense words that no one else could understand.
Wu Jiu tried Qihou's forehead, although his body temperature is usually high, but now he really has a fever, so he quickly called the medical officer.
Qi Hou didn't wake up after falling asleep, he was feverish, sweating, and talking nonsense, his handsome face looked haggard, and his lips were purple and white.
Wu Jiu didn't go back to the mansion, but stayed in the small bedroom. Taking care of him after busy work, Ziqing asked Ziqing to fetch hot water, soak the handkerchief wet, twist it slightly dry, and use the hot handkerchief to wipe off the cold sweat of Marquis Qi.
Qi Hou slept very restlessly, he didn't wake up halfway, the medicine couldn't go in, Wu Jiao fed him some, vomited most of it, and kept coughing, with blood in the sputum, his appearance was very scary.
Wu Jiao was busy in the middle of the night, and called the medical officer several times. Although Qi Hou had been running a fever, it was not as terrible as before. Wu Jiao didn't go back. He fell asleep lying on the edge of the couch, clutching a handkerchief to wipe off Qihou's sweat.
Qihou had a dream. He dreamed that he was imprisoned in a house, and he would starve to death without seeing the light of day. Everything became torture. He thought this was the most torture, after all, this kind of useless The dignified death sapped Qihou's will as an overlord.
However, Qi Hou didn't expect that when the screen turned, he saw an even more terrifying scene. He saw the army of Yan Manren rushing quickly, countless cold arrows were released, and the young master Zhao was in an ambush on the horse, "Boom!! "It rolled down on the ground with a sound, and it was too late to run. The man behind him came quickly, and there was only blood left in an instant, and a head rolled down suddenly...
Qihou took a breath of air with a "ho!", and woke up suddenly, waking up from the nightmare.
Qi Hou woke up, sat up suddenly, and saw the darkness around him, and a lamp was burning next to it, which was about to go out, the light was dim, and the sky was still dark.
And next to his bed, there was a person lying on his stomach, it was Wu Jiao, Wu Jiu was holding a handkerchief in his hand, he was already cold, his hands were rolled up so that he could wash the handkerchief repeatedly, his face was tired, his eyes were black and blue, Taking a nap in a difficult posture.
Ziqing from the previous night heard Qihou's voice and hurried in, and saw that Qihou was awake and was about to speak, but Qihou made a gesture of silence, pressed his lips with his index finger, and signaled Wu Jiu to come in. rest.
Ziqing whispered, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better?"
Qihou nodded, touched his forehead and felt no fever, looked down at Wu Jiao again, and said, "Second Brother has been taking care of Gu?"
Ziqing nodded, and said, "Da Sinong is very worried about your lord. You have been having a fever and still unconscious. Da Sinong took care of you personally."
Qi Hou nodded and said: "Okay, you go, I'm fine."
Ziqing was a little hesitant, but went out anyway. Qihou carefully carried Wu Jiao to the couch, let him lie beside him, then turned his back to Wu Jiao, and coughed in a low voice, so as not to spread his fever to others. Wu corrected.
Although Qihou's fever has improved a bit, he still has a fever, and the nightmare consumes his willpower, so he soon fell asleep again.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Marquis Qi slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ziqing and the medical officer. The medical officer was asking for pulse, and said, "Your Majesty, your fever has completely recovered."
Qihou nodded, feeling better than last night. He looked around and said, "Where is the second brother?"
Ziqing hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's fever has subsided in the morning, Da Sinong said to cook some delicious meals for Your Majesty himself, and just went to the dining room."
Qi Hou let out a "hmm", feeling a little moved in his heart, as if he felt that he fell in love with Wu Jiu, and it was indeed the right thing to fall in love with.
After Qihou woke up, Zheng Ji and Wei Ji came to see him one after another, they were all crying, Qihou who was crying was very upset, and sent him away without saying a few words.
After Zheng Ji and Wei Ji sent away, Wu Jiu came back soon. Yan'e was holding a bronze plate with many things inside.
Although Qihou didn't have much appetite, he also smelled a strong fragrance. Last night he went to sleep without eating. Now, although his mouth still has no taste, his stomach is empty and he is very hungry.
Wu Jiu walked in and saw that Marquis Qi was awake, he quickly touched Marquis Qi's forehead, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, the fever has gone away."
Unexpectedly, Qi Hou suddenly grabbed Wu Jiu's wrist, made someone sit beside him, and said, "Thank you, Second Brother."
Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to thank Jiu. In the past, when Jiu was sick, Your Majesty also took care of him. This is what Jiu should do."
As he spoke, he asked Yan'e to bring the breakfast, and said: "Your Majesty is furious, and you are both qi and blood deficient. You should eat something to nourish yourself. If you are also exhausted, how can you compete with others?"
Qihou nodded and said, "Second Brother is right."
Wu Jiu opened the lid of Xiaodou, and there was a bowl of appetizing hot soup. Wu Jiu deliberately got up early in the morning, intending to make a soup for Qi Hou to nourish his body.
The soup has been simmering for a long time, with sand ginseng and medicinal materials for clearing the fire. After simmering for more than an hour, all the oil in the pigeon soup has been boiled out. Because Qihou can't eat greasy food, Wu Jiao even skimmed off the oil, then After continuing to boil for a while, the soup was boiled until golden and golden, and it was very appetizing at first sight.
Wu Jiu made a bowl of soup for Qi Hou to appetize first. Although Qi Hou has no appetite, tasteless and bitter in his mouth, this bowl of soup is indeed very appetizing. The taste is very strong, but it is not greasy. The umami taste is fully integrated in the soup, smooth and rich.
After Qihou drank a bowl, he felt a little craving for something to eat, so Wu Jiao made some digestible and nutritious breakfast for Qihou.
Wu Jiao not only made pigeon soup, but also made many cups of honey pear soup. At that time, pears were called Yulu, and what was made was honey Yulu.
The pear soup is like jade dew, golden, smooth and moist. Wu Jiao picked up several pears, opened them, dug them into hollows, and added a lot of medicinal materials that can clear away heat and moisten lungs, invigorate spleen and appetizers. and ingredients.
Wu Jiu said: "Yulu jelly clears away heat and invigorates the spleen. Jun Shang just drinks this when he is very angry. He has made a lot of it. Jun Shang drinks it as water on weekdays. It is not very sweet and will not make you thirsty."
Looking at the cups of honey jade dew, Qi Hou couldn't help sighing, and said, "Second brother, you are so kind to Gu, Gu can't let you go."
Wu Jiu was taken aback for a moment, his expression became a little unnatural, he coughed, and said: "Your Majesty, hurry up and eat while it's hot."
Qihou's body is strong, because of the blow, he felt a little bit depressed for a while, the medical officer tried his best to take care of him with medicine, and Wu Jiao used food supplements to take care of him, thanks to Qihou's good health, he recovered soon.
At this time, Shi Su and Zhou Fu, who had rushed to send letters to Xing State, came back quickly, and they brought good news, because before Qi State sent troops to help Xing State fight back, Xing Hou had always kept it in his heart. Now that Qi State is asking for support, Xing Hou is naturally obliged.
Xing Guo has already secretly dispatched troops, preparing to attack back and forth with Young Master Wukui's team, and also to teach Tong a lesson.
Young Master Wu Kui sent troops for a month, and the palace of Qi was busy with the funeral of Young Master Zhao, because Zheng Ji lost her son, and Qi Guo and Zheng Guo had a bad relationship, so Zheng Ji fell out of favor completely, but she was not reconciled. For Zhao's affairs, he always went to the small bedroom to cry and mourn, hoping to win Qihou's mercy.
After crying for several days in a row, Qi Hou was only more annoyed by her crying. At this time, Young Master Wugui went out to fight again. Wei Ji did not have Young Master Wugui's guidance, and started to become more and more rampant, bullying Zheng Ji every day, so the two The personal fights were so fierce that they made trouble in front of Qihou several times.
If it wasn't for the war on the front line, and the palace had to prepare for the funeral of Prince Zhao, Qihou would have driven Wei Ji and Zheng Ji away in a rage.
According to common sense, he went to court that day, and Marquis Qi finally regained his composure. The things discussed were nothing more than the funeral of Young Master Zhao, or the military newspaper on the front line.
The courtiers were sitting in the bedroom on the road. At this time, they heard the sound of "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 T T T"" -"
As soon as everyone heard this, they all stared at the soldier who delivered the order. The soldier rushed in, knelt on the ground with a bang, and said excitedly, "Your Majesty! Good news from the front line! Young Master Wu Kui led our army to attack Xing Jun back and forth. Cut off the retreat of Tong Mo, beat him to pieces, and fled in all directions!"
It turned out that Marquis Qi's strategy worked. He asked Young Master Wukui to encircle the army of Xingmen, while Xing Guo quietly dispatched troops to ambush in the dark. The trap of the country, and the ambush of the Xing country, the two forces of the Qi army and the Xing army were twisted together, and the people were not prepared, so how could they not be defeated.
The soldier said: "Our army has won a complete victory. We concealed our losses and lost our generals. You have no loss, and you even captured Changdi's leader Qiaoru!"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi suddenly stood up from the table, laughed and said, "Okay! Well done!"
As Marquis Qi said, he quickly stepped down the steps, walked up to everyone in the hall, and said with a smile: "You have killed my son Qi, and now we have captured their leader. The ministers said, what should I do with this young man?" ?”
When everyone heard this, their morale was greatly boosted. There was no need for Qi Hou to say anything, there was already a lot of voices saying: "General Chang Di's leader will be cut into pieces!"
"Thousands of knives!"
Qihou smiled and said: "That's right, since everyone expects it, it's not good for me to refute the face of the ministers, pass on the order, so that the son will have no loss, and the head of Changdi will be escorted to Linzi City immediately. Cut this Changdi man...into pieces, hang his head on the north gate of Linzi City, let the people in the north take a look, this is the benefit of insulting our country of Qi!"
Everyone responded one after another, shouting "Your Majesty is wise", and soon withdrew from the court. The prince Chengfu took the order and sent someone to send an order to the front-line son Wukui, asking him to escort the leader of the gangster to Linzi City .
Because of this good news, Marquis Qi's health is getting better even faster, and he has to ask every day, where are the prisoners sent to?
Five days later, the captives of Qi Mo had not been escorted to Linzi City, Wu Jiu was still sitting in the political affairs hall, looking at the documents sent by everyone, the state of Lu had asked for grain several times, because the Marquis of Qi had agreed to Zang Chen before, But Qi State had such a sudden incident, and there was no time to give food to Lu State, so Wu Jiu needed to stretch a little bit, and he was a little bit burnt out.
At this moment, Ziqing ran in and said, "Da Si Nong, Your Majesty invites you to the Lu Palace, it seems that a court meeting is to be held temporarily."
Wu Jiu was startled for a while, not knowing what was going on, so he had to put down the things at hand, and handed over the problem of Lu's food to Zhanhuo, and then hurriedly followed Ziqing and left.
Wu Jiu ran all the way to the Lu bedroom, and saw that the Lu bedroom was very lively. Zhao Hu, Dong Guoya, Shi Su, Zhou Fu, Bao Shuya, Guan Yiwu, etc., all rushed over from all directions, even those who were out on business. Called back, I don't know what kind of major event happened, so a court meeting was called in such a haste.
Wu Jiu walked in quickly, didn't bother to tidy up his clothes, and saw Qihou standing in the main hall of Lu's bedroom, holding a piece of lambskin in his hand, his face was very gloomy, but there was a touch of excitement and excitement in the gloom. Qiji, that expression is really too contradictory.
Everyone walked in and sat down on the left and right. Marquis Qi didn't ask anyone to salute, but he raised the little sheepskin scroll in his hand and said, "This letter is from the front line, it's a peace treaty handed over by Mr. Book."
As soon as everyone heard this, they began to discuss and asked for a peace agreement, which was expected. After all, the people who formed an alliance with a small Sui country were now defeated. Naturally, they wanted peace, and it would be strange not to ask for peace.
Qihou said "Wow!" and unfolded the little sheepskin scroll. It was clearly a letter of alliance for peace, but it was written in blood, which looked very strange.
Qi Hou waved to Wu Jiu and said, "Second brother, come and read it for everyone."
Wu Jiu hurriedly stood up, held up the blood book, opened it to read it, and read it word by word, to the effect that both the people of the state of Qi and the state of Sui asked for an armistice, and they wanted to invite the special envoy of the state of Qi to come to the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, and asked the state of Qi to return the war. The captive Qiaoru, as a hostage in exchange, is also willing to give up the prisoner—Qi’s son Zhao!
When Wu Jiu read this, his face was full of astonishment, not only Wu Jiu, but also all the ministers were extremely surprised when they heard it, and started discussing again.
Qihou said: "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but Qihou was the first to say: "Gu intends to talk about this peace in person."
As soon as he said this, it seemed as if the Lu bedroom was about to explode, and Wu Jiu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. The court has received the military report that Young Master Zhao died in battle a few days ago, and now the body is about to be buried. The people of Di suddenly said that they had captured the prince of Qi, and there may be some fraud in this."
As soon as he said it, Bao Shuya also cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what Da Si Nong said is absolutely true."
Guan Yiwu also agreed, but Qihou said indifferently: "Even if there is fraud, I should go through this, shouldn't I?"
Although Qi Hou said lightly, his attitude seemed to be very firm. Wu Jiao saw Qi Hou like this, and said: "Your Majesty, the place where you want to talk about peace is within the territory of Sui State. If there is no good banquet , coupled with the cunning nature of the man, wouldn't it be right for the man's calculations? If there is another accident at the time, the eldest son will be on the front line again, unable to preside over the overall situation, and if a country with ulterior motives sends troops to interfere at this time, What should Linzi do? What should Qi do?"
Qihou pondered for a while, it seemed that this trip was going no matter what, after all before Qihou thought he had lost his most beloved son, but this moment, his son Zhao came back from the dead, how could Qihou not Heartbroken, Qihou has already made up his mind, it seems that no one will say anything.
Qi Hou glanced at Wu Jiu, and said calmly: "That's why I was in a hurry to summon all the ministers, and the affairs in Linzi City are entrusted to the second brother."
Wu Jiu was startled, looked at Qi Hou, and everyone began to talk about it. Qi Hou entrusted the entire state of Qi to Wu Jiu, which meant that if something happened to him, he would let Wu Jiu be the governor of the Qi state. Monarch?
Everyone was in disbelief, but no one dared to speak for a while.
At this time, Wu Jiu lowered his head and pondered for a while. Everyone thought that Qi Hou's thoughts were in line with Wu Jiu's. After all, a year ago, Young Master Jiu was still competing with Qi Hou for the throne. Everyone felt that Wu Jiu might be tempted by the opportunity.
Qihou said softly, "Second Brother, how are you doing?"
Wu Jiu raised his head at this moment, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty can entrust the entire country to Jiu. Does that mean that Your Majesty trusts Jiu?"
Qihou nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, the second brother is right."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Since Your Majesty fully trusts Jiu, please issue an order for Jiu to be the special envoy this time, to go to Sui State and form an alliance with Sui State!"
Qi Hou was surprised for a while, and said, "Second brother?"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Jiu had already interrupted him, saying: "The conditions given by your majesty are really very tempting, but if Jiu agrees with your majesty's words at this time, even if you get Qi by chance, you will not be able to get Qi." Being cast aside and shameless is not what Jiu wanted. Since Your Majesty trusts Jiu, he will hand over the affairs of the alliance and the Young Master to Jiu. If the Young Master is really still alive, Jiu must take care of it properly. , bring the young son back and hand it over to your lord, what does your lord think?"
Bao Shuya, Guan Yiwu, and the two Gaozi Guozi who were present at the scene were all amazed, and they all looked at Wu Jiao, because no one thought that Wu Jiao would still look down on the Qi State that was so easy to get, and he would take it easy. He refused, and blocked Qi Hou's words.
Qi Hou was in a daze for a while, staring at Wu Jiu for a long time, suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand, gently stroked Wu Jiu's temple hair, pinned the untied hair behind his ear, and said with a low laugh: "Two Brother, tell me, you are like this, how can Gu not trust you? Ladies and gentlemen, please tell me, Da Si Nong is upright, loyal, and a rare true gentleman, how can Gu not trust him like this , reuse him?"
There were people who were worthless for Wu Jiu, some who thought Wu Jiu was stupid, and naturally there were those who respected Wu Jiu, no matter what they thought, they immediately handed over and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Da Si Nong is loyal!"
Qi Hou turned to Wu Jiu and said, "Okay, I will appoint my second elder brother as the special envoy of this alliance. As long as it is the second elder brother's favorite person in the court, I will dispatch it casually, and I will let Da Sima dispatch the most elite. The army escorted the second brother into the Suiguo League, ensured the safety of the second brother, and returned without a single strand of hair."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, although this trip seems dangerous, in fact, the Qi State has already grasped the fate of Feng Mo, and there are still prisoners in hand. Jiu has already had a plan or two in mind, please don't worry about it, Your Majesty." , As for accompanying, Jiao really needs two accompanying persons."
Qihou said, "Who is it?"
Wu Jiu looked at Zhao Hu who was standing on the side, and Zhao Hu was also raising his head, looking at Wu Jiu, as if he was afraid that Wu Jiu would not take him with him, Wu Jiu said: "Master Zhao has outstanding literary talents and both skills in martial arts. Master Shao will accompany you. It must be safe."
Qihou said: "Okay, then please call the master to go with you."
Zhaohu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Zhaohu takes orders!"
Wu Jiu looked at Dongguo Ya and said, "Master Dongguo is an admonisher. No one can come from Master Dongguo with sharp teeth. This is what the negotiation requires. Master Dongguo is welcome to accompany you."
Qihou nodded again, Dong Guoya immediately cupped his hands and said, "Dong Guo takes orders."
The team for the envoy Sui Guomeng was quickly determined, it was very simple, only Wu Jiu was the special envoy, Zhao Hu and Dong Guoya followed, and the rest were accompanying protection troops, the sooner they set off, the better.
Because Wu Jiao was afraid of delaying time, he immediately set off on the day after tomorrow. If it weren't for the fact that it would take some time for the prince to become a father to order troops, Wu Jiao would have no choice but to leave tomorrow.
The whole court heard that Prince Zhao was not dead, but was captured. There were three attitudes. The first attitude was disbelief, thinking that it was a trick of others.The second attitude is that it is possible. After all, the body sent back is beyond recognition. Who knows if it is the real son Zhao.
There is another attitude that does not believe or disbelieve, but just waits and sees from afar.
The night before Wu Jiu's departure, Marquis Qi specially held a banquet in Lu's bedroom, but the banquet was very small, so Wu Jiao, Zhaohu and Dong Guoya were invited to the banquet, and four mats were placed facing each other.
Qi Hou raised his wine glass and said: "The three of you are going to Sui Kingdom, please take care."
Wu Jiu, Zhao Hu, and Dong Guoya also raised their wine glasses. Qi Hou went first to pay respects, and Wu Jiu also drank the wine. Qi Hou said, "You are cunning and suspicious. Although this trip is for an alliance and peace talks, I take the initiative to ask for peace. But I don’t know if there are any tricks in the territory of Sui State, so the second brother must be very careful.”
Wu Jiu said, "Thank you for reminding me, and Jiu made a note of it."
Marquis Qi nodded, seemingly not at ease, and said: "Although Suiguo has made a covenant with Tongyu, the second brother can start by dividing the relationship between Suiguo and Tonghu, so that we can turn passiveness into initiative."
Wu Jiu responded one by one, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, if Young Master Zhao is really fine, Jiao Ding will take care of Young Master and please come back."
Qihou smiled, raised his wine glass, and said, "Second brother Guxin, in this world, there is no one who can make Gu so trustworthy."
Wu Jiu was a little dazed when he heard this, "Trust..." What kind of feeling is it?In fact, Wu Jiu recommended himself as an envoy to Suiguo for peace talks, and it was also because of Qihou's feelings for his son Zhao.
This kind of blood-related impulse, the feeling of not sacrificing anything, Wu Jiao has only experienced in his own mother, that kind of giving at all costs.
Just now Wu Jiu heard Qi Hou say that he wanted to go to the peace talks in person, which reminded him of his mother suddenly, Wu Jiu also felt a little impulsive, not to mention anything else, just for this feeling, Wu Jiu was also willing to go on an envoy.
What's more, he didn't make a promise in empty teeth. In fact, Wu Jiu already had a steelyard in his heart, and he had weighed the pros and cons of this time.
Young Master Wugui, the prisoner Qiaoru captured this time is a well-known leader, and he is willing to exchange captives for Qiaoru, which shows that Qiaoru has a good status and is worth using. This is a good bargaining chip.
The four of them didn't dare to drink too much, they left the banquet early, Zhaohu and Dong Guoya left first, the two of them came out, and walked leisurely, because of the hot weather, Zhaohu drank some more Wine, with a slight blush on her fair cheeks, said with a smile: "Da Ya, are you afraid?"
Dong Guoya listened to his nonsensical question, and said, "What are you afraid of? What did the doctor say?"
Zhao Hu said: "Of course it is a matter of going to Suiguo as an envoy. Everyone says that this time is very dangerous, and it is probably because of the tricks of others."
Dong Guoya smiled, that smile was rare and gentle, not so harsh and mean, almost stunned Zhaohu.
I heard Dong Guoya say: "The Chinese doctor is superb in martial arts, and entering and leaving the enemy's camp is like entering an uninhabited land. If you call a doctor to go with you, why should Dong Guo be afraid?"
Zhao Hu immediately laughed when he heard him praise himself, and said, "Oh, Big Tooth, the sun came out from the west today, your mouth is so sweet!"
Dong Guoya smiled helplessly, and suddenly said: "Dong Guo really envies Da Sinong."
Zhao Hu asked strangely, "What are you envious of?"
Dong Guoya glanced at Zhaohu indifferently, and said: "Doctor Zhao can go through life and death for Da Sinong, how can this kind of integrity not make people envious and jealous?"
Zhao Hu was taken aback for a moment, then coughed and said, "I...I'll go back first, see you tomorrow."
Zhao Hu left after saying that, Dong Guo Ya strode up from behind, and said: "Should the doctor be called out of the palace? That's the same way."
With that said, the two walked out of the palace side by side.
Wu Jiu will stay in the palace tonight. Tomorrow he will leave the city gate with Marquis Qi. After saying goodbye, he leaves Linzi City and rushes to the Suiguo League.
Wu Jiu went to bed very early, after all, he had to get up early tomorrow, and then he had to hurry on his way, and the time was tight, so he had to hurry along the way.
Wu Jiao soon fell asleep in a daze. He dreamed that someone was secretly kissing him, stroking his temples and cheeks, but because Wu Jiao was too sleepy, he couldn't open his eyes, so he fell into a deep sleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Jiu dressed neatly, put on the clothes of a special envoy, held the festival of festivals in his hand, stepped on Jiumo, and accepted the farewell of Qihou and Baiguan at the gate of Linzi City.
Qihou looked at Wu Jiu who was straddling the horse, stretched out his hand to stroke Jiu Mo's mane, and said in a low voice, "Second brother will come back well."
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Cherish your auspicious words."
Qi Hou said: "This trip is going to Suiguo. I have already notified Wukui in the front line. Wukui will join you. After the army is assembled, go to the alliance. You don't have to be afraid of the insidiousness of Suiguo and Yanhao people. "
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Jiu made a note."
Only then did Qihou pat Jiumo and said, "Go ahead, go early and return early."
Wu Jiu clasped his hands again, and quickly urged his horse to set off, and the troops behind him heard the orders of "Let's go——" one after another, and the team of the special envoy of Qi State set off immediately.
The team's footsteps were not slow, and all they brought were elite cavalry, and they rushed all the way to Suiguo. On the first night on the road, they encountered the army escorting Qiaoru. He was escorted back to Linzi City, but temporarily changed his route and went to Sui State with Wu Jiu.
On the third day of his departure, Wu Jiu met Prince Wukui and Qi's defenders stationed at the border. After hearing that the team of special envoys was coming day and night, Prince Wukui immediately walked out of the shogunate.
Wu Jie was travel-stained, his face was covered with dust, when he saw the curtain of the shogunate's door was beaten up with a "crash!", and then a tall man in black armor came out, it turned out to be the son of Wukui.
Young Master Wu Kui also looked like a traveler. He had lost some weight after not seeing him for a long time, but he was not haggard, but thinner. Because of more than a month of exposure to the sun and marching, Young Master Wu Kui had darkened a little, and he looked even more fierce and resolute. up.
Young Master Wu Kui quickly came up to him, cupped his hands and said, "Special envoy!"
Wu Jiu also bowed his hands to Young Master Wukui, saying, "Young Master."
Young Master Wu Kui asked anxiously, "How can the captives be brought here?"
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "I'm in the team."
Young Master Wu Kui immediately said: "Okay, please envoy to rest in the account, and tomorrow morning, we will set off and enter Sui Kingdom."
Wu Jiu raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, this time the alliance between Sui State and Yu is concealed, lest it is not sincere, if the captives can't enter Sui State with us."
Young Master Wu Kui looked at Wu Jiu in surprise, and said, "The special envoy means..."
Wu Jiu glanced at Zhaohu and Dong Guoya behind him, and said, "Jiao means that if you don't have a young master in your hands, and you just shot a feint, we rashly bring the captives into the Sui Kingdom, and we are throwing ourselves into the net." When the time comes, the gain outweighs the loss, so Jiu thinks that Jiu and the eldest son should advance to Sui country, negotiate terms with Sui country and Yu Mo, see the younger son, and know that the younger son is safe, so that the exchange of hostages will be more reassuring."
Young Master Wu Kui was already in a state of chaos at this time. He never thought that he would be in such a panic. When he sent troops to fight, he didn't panic at all when he beat the people to death, but now I heard that Young Master Zhao didn't. He died, but was taken prisoner by the people, and his heart became a mess, he didn't know what to do.
After hearing Wu Jiu's words, Young Master Wu Kui said, "Yes, what the special envoy said is exactly."
Wu Jiu then turned his head to Zhaohu and Dong Guoya and said, "Please trouble the two envoys to escort the captives and wait at the border of Qi State. This trip will last for ten days. Once the ten days arrive, please trouble the two envoys and kill them immediately." Take them captive to show the majesty of Qi."
When Zhaohu heard this, he was startled and said, "My lord!"
The meaning is obvious, if the people of Suiguo and the people of the country detain the special envoy, then when the time comes, beheading the captives of the people of the country will be the banner of war.
Zhao Hu seemed to disagree with this statement, Dong Guoya glanced at Wu Jiu, cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Dong Guo takes orders."
Although Zhaohu was not reconciled, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Zhaohu takes orders!"
Wu Jiu hastily rested at the border camp for a day, and the next day it was daylight. Wu Jiu and his son had nothing to lose, and with his elite cavalry, he rushed out of the border of Qi State and headed for Sui State.
This meeting was in the territory of Sui State, and a few days later, we arrived at the meeting place. A few miles away from the meeting place, there were soldiers and horses guarding them. Your Majesty asks the special envoy of the State of Qi to unload the soldiers and horses."
Young Master Wu Kui glanced at Wu Jiu, there is no reason to make an alliance, especially if you make an alliance with the enemy, who will unload the soldiers and horses a few miles away, it is not to express peace, but to fight wits and bravery.
Wu Jiu didn't have any objections, he unloaded the soldiers and horses here naturally, and then took his son Wukui to board the chariot of Suiguo, and drove forward quickly, and soon saw the hall of the Huimeng, full of vicissitudes, It looks like it was built in a hurry.
Xingyuan is surrounded by soldiers and horses, three floors inside and three floors outside, it is very spectacular, Wu Jiu looked at the number of people, even if they did not unload the soldiers and horses in front, they would not be able to compete.
The king of Sui State and the leader of the Huan people were already at the gate of Xingyuan. They saw only two special envoys of Qi State walking over alone. pain.
The King of Sui recognized it,
Soon, the team of the son Wukui set off, very fast, all the cavalry followed, rushed out of the city gate, and went to the suburbs. I can't see it anymore.
Wu Jiao stood outside the city gate, looking at the shadows of the team from afar. At this moment, Ziqing galloped over, sweating all over his head, and said anxiously, "My lord! Something is wrong! You should go back to the palace quickly." stop!"
Seeing that Ziqing was covered in sweat, Wu Jiao, who was always calm, turned pale with panic, and asked, "What's wrong? But something happened in the war?"
Ziqing said: "No, it's not, it's... the corpse of Young Master Zhao has just been transported back, just entered the palace, your lord, he...he took a look..."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he thought "thump" in his heart, and hurriedly drove his horse back to the palace.
Wu Jiu ran wildly all the way to the gate of the palace, quickly unloaded the horse, then ran all the way in, and ran to the small bedroom. The door of the small bedroom was full of medical officers, as if all the doctors were there, and they all knelt outside the door and waited. Lost.
Yan'e was waiting at the door, and when she saw Wu Jiu, she said anxiously, "My lord, you are here, Your Majesty..."
Wu Jiu raised his hand and said, "Where is the son's body?"
Yan'e said: "Already...already sent away. Your Majesty took a look, vomited blood in anger, and almost fainted. Da Sima sent the young master's body away first."
Wu Jiu said: "I see, Ziqing Yan'e, you take care of your lord, I'll take a look first."
Seeing that Wu Jiu was about to leave, Yan'e hurriedly called out, and said in a pale voice, "Master... You, you have to make some preparations."
Wu Jiu nodded, turned around and left quickly, looking for Da Sima, Da Sima was still in the palace, seeing Wu Jiu, quickly led him to the side hall, where Prince Zhao's body was placed, covered with ice, Covered with a piece of cloth.
Wu Jiu walked over, Wang Zicheng's father sighed and said, "Da Si Nong, do you have to see it?"
Wu Jiu nodded, Wang Zicheng grabbed the piece of cloth with a sigh, and gently lifted a corner, Wu Jiu took a deep breath, even though Yan E gave him a vaccination, Wu Jiu still I was frightened, no wonder Qi Hou vomited blood, the appearance of Young Master Zhao was really miserable.
The corpse was covered in black armor, its head had been cut off, and its body was bitten beyond recognition by wild wolves. There were many holes in its body. It must have been shot by a lot of arrows at that time. It was all festered and exuded an unpleasant smell.
At this moment, Wu Jiu could only rejoice that Young Master Wu Kui had already left for the battle.
Wu Jiu couldn't bear to look again, waved his hands, and said, "I'm going to see Your Majesty."
Wang Zicheng's father said: "Trouble Da Si Nong, please comfort Your Majesty, death...cannot be resurrected."
Wu Jiu nodded, turned around and walked out.
When he came to the small bedroom, the medical officer was taking Qi Hou's pulse, Wu Jiu walked in softly, Qi Hou was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, he didn't know if he was asleep or in a doze.
Wu Jiao went over and asked about Qi Hou's condition. The doctor said that he was deficient in both qi and blood, and he was so angry that he was infected with wind-cold and phlegm-damp.
The medical officer checked the pulse, Wu Jiu asked the medical officer to step back and boil medicine, and then asked someone to make some delicious nourishing meals, and then sat on the edge of the couch by himself.
After a long time, Qi Hou was really dozing off, and said lightly: "Second brother, have you seen Zhao'er?"
Wu Jiu said in a low voice, "I've seen it."
Qihou said: "Gu didn't expect... I didn't expect, Gu has been conceited all his life, how...how could he end up like this? Zhao'er is Gu's most beloved son, why is it like this?"
Wu Jiu said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself."
Qihou sighed deeply, Wu Jiu didn't know that Qihou was a person who had lived his whole life, and he was very proud in this life, because he avoided the shameful battle of the long spoon, and made the Lu State which he was ashamed become inferior, and also The Northern Apricot League was held in advance, and the Song Kingdom was in the palm of his hand. Everything went very smoothly, very, very smoothly.
But now, Qi Hou paid the price for a moment, and it turned out to be his most beloved son.
Qihou naturally cannot accept this fact...
Qi Hou was talking and talking, then fell asleep, fell asleep drowsily, and was still coughing after falling asleep. When coughing, there were some pink blood streaks, which seemed to be seriously ill.
Wu Jiu was a little worried. After all, Qihou, who was always strong and strong, fell ill. The illness came like a mountain, and the illness went like a thread. In addition, Qihou's heart knot was too heavy. I don't know what would happen after such a serious illness. .
Soon the medicine came, but Qihou was sleeping, so Wu Jiao waited for a while, and after a while, Qihou's condition began to deteriorate.
When Qihou fell asleep, he started talking nonsense, softly calling the name of Young Master Zhao, and saying some nonsense words that no one else could understand.
Wu Jiu tried Qihou's forehead, although his body temperature is usually high, but now he really has a fever, so he quickly called the medical officer.
Qi Hou didn't wake up after falling asleep, he was feverish, sweating, and talking nonsense, his handsome face looked haggard, and his lips were purple and white.
Wu Jiu didn't go back to the mansion, but stayed in the small bedroom. Taking care of him after busy work, Ziqing asked Ziqing to fetch hot water, soak the handkerchief wet, twist it slightly dry, and use the hot handkerchief to wipe off the cold sweat of Marquis Qi.
Qi Hou slept very restlessly, he didn't wake up halfway, the medicine couldn't go in, Wu Jiao fed him some, vomited most of it, and kept coughing, with blood in the sputum, his appearance was very scary.
Wu Jiao was busy in the middle of the night, and called the medical officer several times. Although Qi Hou had been running a fever, it was not as terrible as before. Wu Jiao didn't go back. He fell asleep lying on the edge of the couch, clutching a handkerchief to wipe off Qihou's sweat.
Qihou had a dream. He dreamed that he was imprisoned in a house, and he would starve to death without seeing the light of day. Everything became torture. He thought this was the most torture, after all, this kind of useless The dignified death sapped Qihou's will as an overlord.
However, Qi Hou didn't expect that when the screen turned, he saw an even more terrifying scene. He saw the army of Yan Manren rushing quickly, countless cold arrows were released, and the young master Zhao was in an ambush on the horse, "Boom!! "It rolled down on the ground with a sound, and it was too late to run. The man behind him came quickly, and there was only blood left in an instant, and a head rolled down suddenly...
Qihou took a breath of air with a "ho!", and woke up suddenly, waking up from the nightmare.
Qi Hou woke up, sat up suddenly, and saw the darkness around him, and a lamp was burning next to it, which was about to go out, the light was dim, and the sky was still dark.
And next to his bed, there was a person lying on his stomach, it was Wu Jiao, Wu Jiu was holding a handkerchief in his hand, he was already cold, his hands were rolled up so that he could wash the handkerchief repeatedly, his face was tired, his eyes were black and blue, Taking a nap in a difficult posture.
Ziqing from the previous night heard Qihou's voice and hurried in, and saw that Qihou was awake and was about to speak, but Qihou made a gesture of silence, pressed his lips with his index finger, and signaled Wu Jiu to come in. rest.
Ziqing whispered, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better?"
Qihou nodded, touched his forehead and felt no fever, looked down at Wu Jiao again, and said, "Second Brother has been taking care of Gu?"
Ziqing nodded, and said, "Da Sinong is very worried about your lord. You have been having a fever and still unconscious. Da Sinong took care of you personally."
Qi Hou nodded and said: "Okay, you go, I'm fine."
Ziqing was a little hesitant, but went out anyway. Qihou carefully carried Wu Jiao to the couch, let him lie beside him, then turned his back to Wu Jiao, and coughed in a low voice, so as not to spread his fever to others. Wu corrected.
Although Qihou's fever has improved a bit, he still has a fever, and the nightmare consumes his willpower, so he soon fell asleep again.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Marquis Qi slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ziqing and the medical officer. The medical officer was asking for pulse, and said, "Your Majesty, your fever has completely recovered."
Qihou nodded, feeling better than last night. He looked around and said, "Where is the second brother?"
Ziqing hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's fever has subsided in the morning, Da Sinong said to cook some delicious meals for Your Majesty himself, and just went to the dining room."
Qi Hou let out a "hmm", feeling a little moved in his heart, as if he felt that he fell in love with Wu Jiu, and it was indeed the right thing to fall in love with.
After Qihou woke up, Zheng Ji and Wei Ji came to see him one after another, they were all crying, Qihou who was crying was very upset, and sent him away without saying a few words.
After Zheng Ji and Wei Ji sent away, Wu Jiu came back soon. Yan'e was holding a bronze plate with many things inside.
Although Qihou didn't have much appetite, he also smelled a strong fragrance. Last night he went to sleep without eating. Now, although his mouth still has no taste, his stomach is empty and he is very hungry.
Wu Jiu walked in and saw that Marquis Qi was awake, he quickly touched Marquis Qi's forehead, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, the fever has gone away."
Unexpectedly, Qi Hou suddenly grabbed Wu Jiu's wrist, made someone sit beside him, and said, "Thank you, Second Brother."
Wu Jiu said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to thank Jiu. In the past, when Jiu was sick, Your Majesty also took care of him. This is what Jiu should do."
As he spoke, he asked Yan'e to bring the breakfast, and said: "Your Majesty is furious, and you are both qi and blood deficient. You should eat something to nourish yourself. If you are also exhausted, how can you compete with others?"
Qihou nodded and said, "Second Brother is right."
Wu Jiu opened the lid of Xiaodou, and there was a bowl of appetizing hot soup. Wu Jiu deliberately got up early in the morning, intending to make a soup for Qi Hou to nourish his body.
The soup has been simmering for a long time, with sand ginseng and medicinal materials for clearing the fire. After simmering for more than an hour, all the oil in the pigeon soup has been boiled out. Because Qihou can't eat greasy food, Wu Jiao even skimmed off the oil, then After continuing to boil for a while, the soup was boiled until golden and golden, and it was very appetizing at first sight.
Wu Jiu made a bowl of soup for Qi Hou to appetize first. Although Qi Hou has no appetite, tasteless and bitter in his mouth, this bowl of soup is indeed very appetizing. The taste is very strong, but it is not greasy. The umami taste is fully integrated in the soup, smooth and rich.
After Qihou drank a bowl, he felt a little craving for something to eat, so Wu Jiao made some digestible and nutritious breakfast for Qihou.
Wu Jiao not only made pigeon soup, but also made many cups of honey pear soup. At that time, pears were called Yulu, and what was made was honey Yulu.
The pear soup is like jade dew, golden, smooth and moist. Wu Jiao picked up several pears, opened them, dug them into hollows, and added a lot of medicinal materials that can clear away heat and moisten lungs, invigorate spleen and appetizers. and ingredients.
Wu Jiu said: "Yulu jelly clears away heat and invigorates the spleen. Jun Shang just drinks this when he is very angry. He has made a lot of it. Jun Shang drinks it as water on weekdays. It is not very sweet and will not make you thirsty."
Looking at the cups of honey jade dew, Qi Hou couldn't help sighing, and said, "Second brother, you are so kind to Gu, Gu can't let you go."
Wu Jiu was taken aback for a moment, his expression became a little unnatural, he coughed, and said: "Your Majesty, hurry up and eat while it's hot."
Qihou's body is strong, because of the blow, he felt a little bit depressed for a while, the medical officer tried his best to take care of him with medicine, and Wu Jiao used food supplements to take care of him, thanks to Qihou's good health, he recovered soon.
At this time, Shi Su and Zhou Fu, who had rushed to send letters to Xing State, came back quickly, and they brought good news, because before Qi State sent troops to help Xing State fight back, Xing Hou had always kept it in his heart. Now that Qi State is asking for support, Xing Hou is naturally obliged.
Xing Guo has already secretly dispatched troops, preparing to attack back and forth with Young Master Wukui's team, and also to teach Tong a lesson.
Young Master Wu Kui sent troops for a month, and the palace of Qi was busy with the funeral of Young Master Zhao, because Zheng Ji lost her son, and Qi Guo and Zheng Guo had a bad relationship, so Zheng Ji fell out of favor completely, but she was not reconciled. For Zhao's affairs, he always went to the small bedroom to cry and mourn, hoping to win Qihou's mercy.
After crying for several days in a row, Qi Hou was only more annoyed by her crying. At this time, Young Master Wugui went out to fight again. Wei Ji did not have Young Master Wugui's guidance, and started to become more and more rampant, bullying Zheng Ji every day, so the two The personal fights were so fierce that they made trouble in front of Qihou several times.
If it wasn't for the war on the front line, and the palace had to prepare for the funeral of Prince Zhao, Qihou would have driven Wei Ji and Zheng Ji away in a rage.
According to common sense, he went to court that day, and Marquis Qi finally regained his composure. The things discussed were nothing more than the funeral of Young Master Zhao, or the military newspaper on the front line.
The courtiers were sitting in the bedroom on the road. At this time, they heard the sound of "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 T T T"" -"
As soon as everyone heard this, they all stared at the soldier who delivered the order. The soldier rushed in, knelt on the ground with a bang, and said excitedly, "Your Majesty! Good news from the front line! Young Master Wu Kui led our army to attack Xing Jun back and forth. Cut off the retreat of Tong Mo, beat him to pieces, and fled in all directions!"
It turned out that Marquis Qi's strategy worked. He asked Young Master Wukui to encircle the army of Xingmen, while Xing Guo quietly dispatched troops to ambush in the dark. The trap of the country, and the ambush of the Xing country, the two forces of the Qi army and the Xing army were twisted together, and the people were not prepared, so how could they not be defeated.
The soldier said: "Our army has won a complete victory. We concealed our losses and lost our generals. You have no loss, and you even captured Changdi's leader Qiaoru!"
Upon hearing this, Marquis Qi suddenly stood up from the table, laughed and said, "Okay! Well done!"
As Marquis Qi said, he quickly stepped down the steps, walked up to everyone in the hall, and said with a smile: "You have killed my son Qi, and now we have captured their leader. The ministers said, what should I do with this young man?" ?”
When everyone heard this, their morale was greatly boosted. There was no need for Qi Hou to say anything, there was already a lot of voices saying: "General Chang Di's leader will be cut into pieces!"
"Thousands of knives!"
Qihou smiled and said: "That's right, since everyone expects it, it's not good for me to refute the face of the ministers, pass on the order, so that the son will have no loss, and the head of Changdi will be escorted to Linzi City immediately. Cut this Changdi man...into pieces, hang his head on the north gate of Linzi City, let the people in the north take a look, this is the benefit of insulting our country of Qi!"
Everyone responded one after another, shouting "Your Majesty is wise", and soon withdrew from the court. The prince Chengfu took the order and sent someone to send an order to the front-line son Wukui, asking him to escort the leader of the gangster to Linzi City .
Because of this good news, Marquis Qi's health is getting better even faster, and he has to ask every day, where are the prisoners sent to?
Five days later, the captives of Qi Mo had not been escorted to Linzi City, Wu Jiu was still sitting in the political affairs hall, looking at the documents sent by everyone, the state of Lu had asked for grain several times, because the Marquis of Qi had agreed to Zang Chen before, But Qi State had such a sudden incident, and there was no time to give food to Lu State, so Wu Jiu needed to stretch a little bit, and he was a little bit burnt out.
At this moment, Ziqing ran in and said, "Da Si Nong, Your Majesty invites you to the Lu Palace, it seems that a court meeting is to be held temporarily."
Wu Jiu was startled for a while, not knowing what was going on, so he had to put down the things at hand, and handed over the problem of Lu's food to Zhanhuo, and then hurriedly followed Ziqing and left.
Wu Jiu ran all the way to the Lu bedroom, and saw that the Lu bedroom was very lively. Zhao Hu, Dong Guoya, Shi Su, Zhou Fu, Bao Shuya, Guan Yiwu, etc., all rushed over from all directions, even those who were out on business. Called back, I don't know what kind of major event happened, so a court meeting was called in such a haste.
Wu Jiu walked in quickly, didn't bother to tidy up his clothes, and saw Qihou standing in the main hall of Lu's bedroom, holding a piece of lambskin in his hand, his face was very gloomy, but there was a touch of excitement and excitement in the gloom. Qiji, that expression is really too contradictory.
Everyone walked in and sat down on the left and right. Marquis Qi didn't ask anyone to salute, but he raised the little sheepskin scroll in his hand and said, "This letter is from the front line, it's a peace treaty handed over by Mr. Book."
As soon as everyone heard this, they began to discuss and asked for a peace agreement, which was expected. After all, the people who formed an alliance with a small Sui country were now defeated. Naturally, they wanted peace, and it would be strange not to ask for peace.
Qihou said "Wow!" and unfolded the little sheepskin scroll. It was clearly a letter of alliance for peace, but it was written in blood, which looked very strange.
Qi Hou waved to Wu Jiu and said, "Second brother, come and read it for everyone."
Wu Jiu hurriedly stood up, held up the blood book, opened it to read it, and read it word by word, to the effect that both the people of the state of Qi and the state of Sui asked for an armistice, and they wanted to invite the special envoy of the state of Qi to come to the alliance of the Three Kingdoms, and asked the state of Qi to return the war. The captive Qiaoru, as a hostage in exchange, is also willing to give up the prisoner—Qi’s son Zhao!
When Wu Jiu read this, his face was full of astonishment, not only Wu Jiu, but also all the ministers were extremely surprised when they heard it, and started discussing again.
Qihou said: "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but Qihou was the first to say: "Gu intends to talk about this peace in person."
As soon as he said this, it seemed as if the Lu bedroom was about to explode, and Wu Jiu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. The court has received the military report that Young Master Zhao died in battle a few days ago, and now the body is about to be buried. The people of Di suddenly said that they had captured the prince of Qi, and there may be some fraud in this."
As soon as he said it, Bao Shuya also cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what Da Si Nong said is absolutely true."
Guan Yiwu also agreed, but Qihou said indifferently: "Even if there is fraud, I should go through this, shouldn't I?"
Although Qi Hou said lightly, his attitude seemed to be very firm. Wu Jiao saw Qi Hou like this, and said: "Your Majesty, the place where you want to talk about peace is within the territory of Sui State. If there is no good banquet , coupled with the cunning nature of the man, wouldn't it be right for the man's calculations? If there is another accident at the time, the eldest son will be on the front line again, unable to preside over the overall situation, and if a country with ulterior motives sends troops to interfere at this time, What should Linzi do? What should Qi do?"
Qihou pondered for a while, it seemed that this trip was going no matter what, after all before Qihou thought he had lost his most beloved son, but this moment, his son Zhao came back from the dead, how could Qihou not Heartbroken, Qihou has already made up his mind, it seems that no one will say anything.
Qi Hou glanced at Wu Jiu, and said calmly: "That's why I was in a hurry to summon all the ministers, and the affairs in Linzi City are entrusted to the second brother."
Wu Jiu was startled, looked at Qi Hou, and everyone began to talk about it. Qi Hou entrusted the entire state of Qi to Wu Jiu, which meant that if something happened to him, he would let Wu Jiu be the governor of the Qi state. Monarch?
Everyone was in disbelief, but no one dared to speak for a while.
At this time, Wu Jiu lowered his head and pondered for a while. Everyone thought that Qi Hou's thoughts were in line with Wu Jiu's. After all, a year ago, Young Master Jiu was still competing with Qi Hou for the throne. Everyone felt that Wu Jiu might be tempted by the opportunity.
Qihou said softly, "Second Brother, how are you doing?"
Wu Jiu raised his head at this moment, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty can entrust the entire country to Jiu. Does that mean that Your Majesty trusts Jiu?"
Qihou nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, the second brother is right."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Since Your Majesty fully trusts Jiu, please issue an order for Jiu to be the special envoy this time, to go to Sui State and form an alliance with Sui State!"
Qi Hou was surprised for a while, and said, "Second brother?"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Jiu had already interrupted him, saying: "The conditions given by your majesty are really very tempting, but if Jiu agrees with your majesty's words at this time, even if you get Qi by chance, you will not be able to get Qi." Being cast aside and shameless is not what Jiu wanted. Since Your Majesty trusts Jiu, he will hand over the affairs of the alliance and the Young Master to Jiu. If the Young Master is really still alive, Jiu must take care of it properly. , bring the young son back and hand it over to your lord, what does your lord think?"
Bao Shuya, Guan Yiwu, and the two Gaozi Guozi who were present at the scene were all amazed, and they all looked at Wu Jiao, because no one thought that Wu Jiao would still look down on the Qi State that was so easy to get, and he would take it easy. He refused, and blocked Qi Hou's words.
Qi Hou was in a daze for a while, staring at Wu Jiu for a long time, suddenly laughed, stretched out his hand, gently stroked Wu Jiu's temple hair, pinned the untied hair behind his ear, and said with a low laugh: "Two Brother, tell me, you are like this, how can Gu not trust you? Ladies and gentlemen, please tell me, Da Si Nong is upright, loyal, and a rare true gentleman, how can Gu not trust him like this , reuse him?"
There were people who were worthless for Wu Jiu, some who thought Wu Jiu was stupid, and naturally there were those who respected Wu Jiu, no matter what they thought, they immediately handed over and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Da Si Nong is loyal!"
Qi Hou turned to Wu Jiu and said, "Okay, I will appoint my second elder brother as the special envoy of this alliance. As long as it is the second elder brother's favorite person in the court, I will dispatch it casually, and I will let Da Sima dispatch the most elite. The army escorted the second brother into the Suiguo League, ensured the safety of the second brother, and returned without a single strand of hair."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, although this trip seems dangerous, in fact, the Qi State has already grasped the fate of Feng Mo, and there are still prisoners in hand. Jiu has already had a plan or two in mind, please don't worry about it, Your Majesty." , As for accompanying, Jiao really needs two accompanying persons."
Qihou said, "Who is it?"
Wu Jiu looked at Zhao Hu who was standing on the side, and Zhao Hu was also raising his head, looking at Wu Jiu, as if he was afraid that Wu Jiu would not take him with him, Wu Jiu said: "Master Zhao has outstanding literary talents and both skills in martial arts. Master Shao will accompany you. It must be safe."
Qihou said: "Okay, then please call the master to go with you."
Zhaohu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Zhaohu takes orders!"
Wu Jiu looked at Dongguo Ya and said, "Master Dongguo is an admonisher. No one can come from Master Dongguo with sharp teeth. This is what the negotiation requires. Master Dongguo is welcome to accompany you."
Qihou nodded again, Dong Guoya immediately cupped his hands and said, "Dong Guo takes orders."
The team for the envoy Sui Guomeng was quickly determined, it was very simple, only Wu Jiu was the special envoy, Zhao Hu and Dong Guoya followed, and the rest were accompanying protection troops, the sooner they set off, the better.
Because Wu Jiao was afraid of delaying time, he immediately set off on the day after tomorrow. If it weren't for the fact that it would take some time for the prince to become a father to order troops, Wu Jiao would have no choice but to leave tomorrow.
The whole court heard that Prince Zhao was not dead, but was captured. There were three attitudes. The first attitude was disbelief, thinking that it was a trick of others.The second attitude is that it is possible. After all, the body sent back is beyond recognition. Who knows if it is the real son Zhao.
There is another attitude that does not believe or disbelieve, but just waits and sees from afar.
The night before Wu Jiu's departure, Marquis Qi specially held a banquet in Lu's bedroom, but the banquet was very small, so Wu Jiao, Zhaohu and Dong Guoya were invited to the banquet, and four mats were placed facing each other.
Qi Hou raised his wine glass and said: "The three of you are going to Sui Kingdom, please take care."
Wu Jiu, Zhao Hu, and Dong Guoya also raised their wine glasses. Qi Hou went first to pay respects, and Wu Jiu also drank the wine. Qi Hou said, "You are cunning and suspicious. Although this trip is for an alliance and peace talks, I take the initiative to ask for peace. But I don’t know if there are any tricks in the territory of Sui State, so the second brother must be very careful.”
Wu Jiu said, "Thank you for reminding me, and Jiu made a note of it."
Marquis Qi nodded, seemingly not at ease, and said: "Although Suiguo has made a covenant with Tongyu, the second brother can start by dividing the relationship between Suiguo and Tonghu, so that we can turn passiveness into initiative."
Wu Jiu responded one by one, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, if Young Master Zhao is really fine, Jiao Ding will take care of Young Master and please come back."
Qihou smiled, raised his wine glass, and said, "Second brother Guxin, in this world, there is no one who can make Gu so trustworthy."
Wu Jiu was a little dazed when he heard this, "Trust..." What kind of feeling is it?In fact, Wu Jiu recommended himself as an envoy to Suiguo for peace talks, and it was also because of Qihou's feelings for his son Zhao.
This kind of blood-related impulse, the feeling of not sacrificing anything, Wu Jiao has only experienced in his own mother, that kind of giving at all costs.
Just now Wu Jiu heard Qi Hou say that he wanted to go to the peace talks in person, which reminded him of his mother suddenly, Wu Jiu also felt a little impulsive, not to mention anything else, just for this feeling, Wu Jiu was also willing to go on an envoy.
What's more, he didn't make a promise in empty teeth. In fact, Wu Jiu already had a steelyard in his heart, and he had weighed the pros and cons of this time.
Young Master Wugui, the prisoner Qiaoru captured this time is a well-known leader, and he is willing to exchange captives for Qiaoru, which shows that Qiaoru has a good status and is worth using. This is a good bargaining chip.
The four of them didn't dare to drink too much, they left the banquet early, Zhaohu and Dong Guoya left first, the two of them came out, and walked leisurely, because of the hot weather, Zhaohu drank some more Wine, with a slight blush on her fair cheeks, said with a smile: "Da Ya, are you afraid?"
Dong Guoya listened to his nonsensical question, and said, "What are you afraid of? What did the doctor say?"
Zhao Hu said: "Of course it is a matter of going to Suiguo as an envoy. Everyone says that this time is very dangerous, and it is probably because of the tricks of others."
Dong Guoya smiled, that smile was rare and gentle, not so harsh and mean, almost stunned Zhaohu.
I heard Dong Guoya say: "The Chinese doctor is superb in martial arts, and entering and leaving the enemy's camp is like entering an uninhabited land. If you call a doctor to go with you, why should Dong Guo be afraid?"
Zhao Hu immediately laughed when he heard him praise himself, and said, "Oh, Big Tooth, the sun came out from the west today, your mouth is so sweet!"
Dong Guoya smiled helplessly, and suddenly said: "Dong Guo really envies Da Sinong."
Zhao Hu asked strangely, "What are you envious of?"
Dong Guoya glanced at Zhaohu indifferently, and said: "Doctor Zhao can go through life and death for Da Sinong, how can this kind of integrity not make people envious and jealous?"
Zhao Hu was taken aback for a moment, then coughed and said, "I...I'll go back first, see you tomorrow."
Zhao Hu left after saying that, Dong Guo Ya strode up from behind, and said: "Should the doctor be called out of the palace? That's the same way."
With that said, the two walked out of the palace side by side.
Wu Jiu will stay in the palace tonight. Tomorrow he will leave the city gate with Marquis Qi. After saying goodbye, he leaves Linzi City and rushes to the Suiguo League.
Wu Jiu went to bed very early, after all, he had to get up early tomorrow, and then he had to hurry on his way, and the time was tight, so he had to hurry along the way.
Wu Jiao soon fell asleep in a daze. He dreamed that someone was secretly kissing him, stroking his temples and cheeks, but because Wu Jiao was too sleepy, he couldn't open his eyes, so he fell into a deep sleep.
Early in the morning of the second day, Wu Jiu dressed neatly, put on the clothes of a special envoy, held the festival of festivals in his hand, stepped on Jiumo, and accepted the farewell of Qihou and Baiguan at the gate of Linzi City.
Qihou looked at Wu Jiu who was straddling the horse, stretched out his hand to stroke Jiu Mo's mane, and said in a low voice, "Second brother will come back well."
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Cherish your auspicious words."
Qi Hou said: "This trip is going to Suiguo. I have already notified Wukui in the front line. Wukui will join you. After the army is assembled, go to the alliance. You don't have to be afraid of the insidiousness of Suiguo and Yanhao people. "
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Jiu made a note."
Only then did Qihou pat Jiumo and said, "Go ahead, go early and return early."
Wu Jiu clasped his hands again, and quickly urged his horse to set off, and the troops behind him heard the orders of "Let's go——" one after another, and the team of the special envoy of Qi State set off immediately.
The team's footsteps were not slow, and all they brought were elite cavalry, and they rushed all the way to Suiguo. On the first night on the road, they encountered the army escorting Qiaoru. He was escorted back to Linzi City, but temporarily changed his route and went to Sui State with Wu Jiu.
On the third day of his departure, Wu Jiu met Prince Wukui and Qi's defenders stationed at the border. After hearing that the team of special envoys was coming day and night, Prince Wukui immediately walked out of the shogunate.
Wu Jie was travel-stained, his face was covered with dust, when he saw the curtain of the shogunate's door was beaten up with a "crash!", and then a tall man in black armor came out, it turned out to be the son of Wukui.
Young Master Wu Kui also looked like a traveler. He had lost some weight after not seeing him for a long time, but he was not haggard, but thinner. Because of more than a month of exposure to the sun and marching, Young Master Wu Kui had darkened a little, and he looked even more fierce and resolute. up.
Young Master Wu Kui quickly came up to him, cupped his hands and said, "Special envoy!"
Wu Jiu also bowed his hands to Young Master Wukui, saying, "Young Master."
Young Master Wu Kui asked anxiously, "How can the captives be brought here?"
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "I'm in the team."
Young Master Wu Kui immediately said: "Okay, please envoy to rest in the account, and tomorrow morning, we will set off and enter Sui Kingdom."
Wu Jiu raised his hand and said, "Wait a minute, this time the alliance between Sui State and Yu is concealed, lest it is not sincere, if the captives can't enter Sui State with us."
Young Master Wu Kui looked at Wu Jiu in surprise, and said, "The special envoy means..."
Wu Jiu glanced at Zhaohu and Dong Guoya behind him, and said, "Jiao means that if you don't have a young master in your hands, and you just shot a feint, we rashly bring the captives into the Sui Kingdom, and we are throwing ourselves into the net." When the time comes, the gain outweighs the loss, so Jiu thinks that Jiu and the eldest son should advance to Sui country, negotiate terms with Sui country and Yu Mo, see the younger son, and know that the younger son is safe, so that the exchange of hostages will be more reassuring."
Young Master Wu Kui was already in a state of chaos at this time. He never thought that he would be in such a panic. When he sent troops to fight, he didn't panic at all when he beat the people to death, but now I heard that Young Master Zhao didn't. He died, but was taken prisoner by the people, and his heart became a mess, he didn't know what to do.
After hearing Wu Jiu's words, Young Master Wu Kui said, "Yes, what the special envoy said is exactly."
Wu Jiu then turned his head to Zhaohu and Dong Guoya and said, "Please trouble the two envoys to escort the captives and wait at the border of Qi State. This trip will last for ten days. Once the ten days arrive, please trouble the two envoys and kill them immediately." Take them captive to show the majesty of Qi."
When Zhaohu heard this, he was startled and said, "My lord!"
The meaning is obvious, if the people of Suiguo and the people of the country detain the special envoy, then when the time comes, beheading the captives of the people of the country will be the banner of war.
Zhao Hu seemed to disagree with this statement, Dong Guoya glanced at Wu Jiu, cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Dong Guo takes orders."
Although Zhaohu was not reconciled, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Zhaohu takes orders!"
Wu Jiu hastily rested at the border camp for a day, and the next day it was daylight. Wu Jiu and his son had nothing to lose, and with his elite cavalry, he rushed out of the border of Qi State and headed for Sui State.
This meeting was in the territory of Sui State, and a few days later, we arrived at the meeting place. A few miles away from the meeting place, there were soldiers and horses guarding them. Your Majesty asks the special envoy of the State of Qi to unload the soldiers and horses."
Young Master Wu Kui glanced at Wu Jiu, there is no reason to make an alliance, especially if you make an alliance with the enemy, who will unload the soldiers and horses a few miles away, it is not to express peace, but to fight wits and bravery.
Wu Jiu didn't have any objections, he unloaded the soldiers and horses here naturally, and then took his son Wukui to board the chariot of Suiguo, and drove forward quickly, and soon saw the hall of the Huimeng, full of vicissitudes, It looks like it was built in a hurry.
Xingyuan is surrounded by soldiers and horses, three floors inside and three floors outside, it is very spectacular, Wu Jiu looked at the number of people, even if they did not unload the soldiers and horses in front, they would not be able to compete.
The king of Sui State and the leader of the Huan people were already at the gate of Xingyuan. They saw only two special envoys of Qi State walking over alone. pain.
The King of Sui recognized it,
