spring and autumn officials

Gongsun Wuzhi and Ji Ya competed in archery. The two shot the leaves diligently, but Ji Lin took the opportunity to drag Qi Lu and escape.

I just arrived at Mount Ao today, so I don't have anything serious to do. The temperature on Mount Ao is quite cold, the wind is biting, and the temperature is about five or six degrees lower than that in Old Zhengcheng.

Seeing that there is nothing else going on, Qi Lu just has time to spare. If he cooks the lamb scorpion hot pot now and prepares the ingredients, he can eat it tonight.

Qi Lu asked the emperor to go back to the camp to wait, and went into the dining room by himself, preparing to make mutton and scorpion hot pot.This hot pot was called Wen Ding in ancient times, and it has existed since ancient times. In fact, it is not a very fresh food, but Qi Lu's sheep scorpion hot pot is better than seasoning.

The Son of Heaven has already eaten shabu-shabu a few days ago, but he has never eaten this kind of rich and mellow lamb scorpion pot.The dining room in the camp has just been set up, and there are not many cooks, but the ingredients are well prepared. Qi Lv selected some sheep scorpions, a full five catties of sheep scorpions, and then started to stew them into a fragrant red soup. To enhance the spiciness, Zongzi put a handful of Qi Taifu's favorite pepper into it.

Qi Lu stewed the mutton scorpion, and started busy with various ingredients, but all the ingredients that can be eaten in hot pot are prepared. The deliciousness of this mutton scorpion pot is that even the vegetarian dish can taste the taste of meat/desire. Compared with meat dishes, vegetarian dishes such as tofu and white radish are more able to absorb the taste of lamb and scorpion soup, which is quite satisfying to eat.

Ji Lin is usually the type who doesn't like meat and doesn't like vegetarian food. Today, Qi Lu prepared some more vegetarian dishes to ensure that the emperor can't even eat enough vegetarian dishes when he eats mutton and scorpion pot.

After Qi Lu washed the vegetables and put them on the plate, he didn't forget the essence of the lamb and scorpion pot, that is - wide noodles!

Speaking of the lamb scorpion pot, if you don’t put a slice in it at the end of the meal, you will really lose the essence of eating lamb scorpion.

After the mutton scorpion pot is boiled, the soup is very rich, and all the deliciousness of the mutton has been boiled into the soup. After eating, the pot of soup is the essence. Finally, add some smooth and tender noodles and serve it together with the soup. Rise and serve in bowls.In Qi Lu's opinion, the dough must not be too thin or too thin. It is best to stretch it into a wide dough with a little thickness, so that the dough has a good texture when eaten, smooth, tender and tough. , and bouncy, absorbing the taste of the soup without becoming soft and muddy, the taste is excellent.

Just imagine how comfortable it would be to eat such a delicious bowl of lamb scorpion lasagna on such a bitterly cold mountain.

Qi Lu prepared the ingredients with a smile, and went to the emperor's tent with them in his hands. When he came out of the dining room, he heard the voices of Gongsun Wuzhi and Sacrifice Ya in the distance.

Gongsun Wuzhi: "The leaves are all bald, should you admit defeat?"

Ji Ya: "Bah, it's clear that I shot down a lot of leaves."

Gongsun Wuzhi: "It's me!"

Ji Ya: "It's me!"

Gongsun Wuzhi: "If you don't believe me, let's count them."

Ji Ya: "Okay, count! Who is afraid of whom, count! One, two, three, four..."

Then came the sound of counting...

Qi Lu's eyelids twitched, he didn't realize that Ji Ya and Gongsun Wuzhi were both honest people, they were "provoked" by the emperor, they had been shooting leaves for so long, now they started counting leaves, they insisted on competing No, this is about a man's dignity!

Qi Lu was a little helpless, shook his head, and hurried away with the sheep and scorpion pot, for fear that the two people would find him and drag him to count the leaves together.

Ji Lin was sitting in the camp tent, reviewing paperwork "in a very boring way", when he smelled a scent, he knew that Taifu Qi had returned.

Sure enough, Qi Lu came in with a cauldron and set fire in the tent.Ji Lin immediately said: "Teacher, this widow knows that it's called hot pot. You made it a few days ago."

Qi Lu said with a smile: "This hot pot is different from the previous ones. The emperor will know after he tastes it."

Ji Lin couldn't wait any longer. The journey from Old Zhengcheng to Aoshan was very bumpy, and there was not much delicious food. Today, it can be regarded as arriving in Aoshan, where he can finally eat meat.

Ji Lin couldn't wait to fish out a piece of sheep scorpion from the pot, put it in his Chengpan, lifted up his sleeve robe, exposed his hands, and began to eat the sheep scorpion. Soaking in hot soup, how could it not be hot?The hot Ji Lin hissed and put it in his mouth, saying, "It's delicious, this meat is very tender."

The sheep scorpions selected by Qi Lv are slightly fatter, and they are all near the tail of the sheep. A section of sheep tail is also put in the sheep scorpion pot, so that the sheep scorpion does not use firewood. After all, for the delicious soup, the cooking time of the sheep scorpion It must not be short, for fear that the meat will become old and lose its flavor over time, so Qi Lu deliberately chose fatter sheep scorpions.

Seeing that Ji Lin's food was delicious, Qi Lu put Chengpan, who had small ingredients, over and said, "My Son, the mutton tastes even more delicious if it is dipped in small ingredients."

Qi Lu's small ingredients are prepared with homemade sesame sauce. Sheep scorpion dipped in sesame sauce is Qi Lu's favorite. It is the same as Chaoshan beef dipped in sand tea sauce. It is a classic.

The sesame sauce is mellow and fragrant, which can set off the deliciousness of the lamb, making the lamb more delicious and endless aftertaste. Mixed with the taste of sesame sauce, the taste of lamb scorpion is more plump, as if it has an extra layer.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven ate deliciously, Qi Lu fished out another piece of lamb scorpion for him and put it in Chengpan to cool it down, so as not to be too hot, and then put some white radish in the pot.

Ji Lin doesn't like white radishes. A few days ago, because girls from the state of Qi especially like hot and sour radish strips, Ji Lin also joined in the fun and ate a few mouthfuls. This is already Ji Lin's maximum eating radish. conflict.

Ji Lin held the bone in his mouth, shook his head vigorously, and said, "The widows don't eat, the widows don't eat."

Qi Lv said that he would force the emperor to eat a piece of white radish cooked in the sheep and scorpion pot. Ji Lin frowned, with a reluctance on his face, as if he was a poor little boy who was "forced into prostitution", with his eyes closed tightly, awe-inspiring Roll the radish in the sesame sauce and put it in your mouth, who knows...

The emperor opened his eyes, looked down at the white radish in the pot in shock, and said, "It's amazing, it smells so good!"

Qi Lu: "..." The true fragrance of the Son of Heaven came so quickly.

Qi Lu and Ji Lin ate a lot, and they shared a pot of sheep and scorpions. To be precise, the emperor is a big eater, and the emperor eats a lot. Cheeks, watching the emperor sweep up the remaining sheep and scorpion hot pot.

The emperor ate with relish, seeing Qi Lu always looking at him, he said: "Teacher, you eat too, why do you always look at the widow?"

Qi Lv was already full, not as big as the emperor, and had nothing to do left and right, so he just looked at the emperor, who started working with his hands rolled up, eating sheep and scorpions with his sleeves rolled up. How delicious it is.Qi Lu likes to prepare meals, and also likes to watch others eat the meals he cooks. If the diners eat deliciously, Qi Lu also has a sense of accomplishment.

Qi Lu smiled and said casually: "I always look at the emperor because the emperor is good-looking."

The Son of Heaven was gnawing sheep and scorpions, when he suddenly heard Qi Lu's provocative words, he squinted his eyes, his face darkened instantly, and with a "creak", he bit the bone in a daze.

The emperor said gloomyly: "Teacher wait a moment, after I finish eating the sheep and scorpions, I will go and deal with you."

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lu looked down at the hot pot of sheep and scorpions. If the emperor wanted to finish eating the sheep and scorpions, he might wait until midnight to clean up...

After the two of them finished eating the sheep and scorpion pot, it was really getting late, anyway, the emperor had no time to deal with Qi Lv, and Taifu Qi looked confident, like a treacherous minister.

Ji Lin was completely helpless, had enough food and drink, and was about to take a bath and go to bed. Just as he was about to lie down, he heard a messy sound outside the tent, not knowing what happened.

Qi Lu asked strangely, "What's going on?"

Just as he was talking, he heard someone outside the camp shouting loudly: "Son of Heaven! Urgent report!!"

Ji Lin immediately got up from the couch, quickly pulled his robe over his body, strode out, and said, "What's the matter?"

The camp was brightly lit and the bonfire was bright. Not only the soldiers, but Mr. Zheng Boxu and the envoys from various countries were all awakened and gathered in the empty field of the camp.

General Zhu Dan ran over quickly and said: "Son of Heaven, report urgently! The Shanrong people have united with the Xirong people and are coming to outflank Mount Ao. They want to outflank the winter hunting team on Mount Ao!"

"what!?"

"Shanrong people?!"

"One Shanrong is not enough, why did they unite with the Xirong people!"

"This is to trap us alive on the mountain!"

"I heard that Shanrong and Xirong are very tough, they kill people without blinking an eye, what should I do!"

"Can our troops fight against Shanrong and Xirong! Zensheng is good, Zensheng is good!"

There was a commotion all around, and the envoys from all over the world turned pale with fright, and shouted anxiously one by one.Over the years, the Shanrong people and the Xirong people have continued to grow. Compared with the Dongyi people, the Rong people are indeed scary.

The Son of Heaven and his entourage came from Fan Kingdom, and just attacked Shan Rong Tu He. King Tu He was killed by Ji Lin, and his body had already been sent to Tu He. He thought that Tu He would be more honest, but who knew that Tu He was not only not honest, but instead He united the Xirong people to avenge them.

"Please make peace!"

"We can't beat Shan Rong, let alone Xi Rong!"

"That's right, the Rong people can't be messed with, the Rong people are all monsters who drink blood!"

"Because they haven't come up, let's send gifts to ask for peace, maybe the Rong people won't besiege Aoshan!"

"Yes, yes, otherwise we are a winter hunting team, without food and grass support, we will be trapped on the mountain to death in a few days!"

Surrounded by the voices of peace, the envoys from all countries did not bring troops, but Zheng Guo and Luo Shi were the ones who brought them. Therefore, the envoys were panic-stricken and did not dare to fight.

Zheng Bowusheng was the calmest. Although his face was ugly, he said clearly: "Shan Rong is Tu He, so what tribe is Xi Rong, can you find out clearly?"

Zhu Dan immediately said: "I found out clearly, look at the vanguard, it is the banner of Mianzhu."

As soon as Zhu Dan's words fell, the noise became even louder, like a boiling hot pot, which couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

"Mian Zhu!"

"It turned out to be the most powerful tribe among Xirong!"

"Tu He and Mianzhu have formed an alliance, it seems that we can't escape this calamity! What should we do, what should we do?!"

"Report--!"

Another soldier galloped into the camp, adding fuel to the anxious atmosphere: "Report!! The vanguard troops of Shanrong and Xirong have arrived at the foot of the mountain and surrounded Aoshan!"

Everyone panicked for a while, Shan Rong and Xi Rong came aggressively, I'm afraid they came prepared, they had prepared for Zheng Guo's winter hunting time, and wanted to catch Zheng Guolai by surprise, so that not only Zheng Guo could be severely damaged, but Zhou people could also be severely injured spirit.

Once Shan Rong and Xi Rong succeed, Ji Lin's victories in Fan Kingdom will be in vain.

"Quickly withdraw your troops! Retreat down Aoshan Mountain!"

"No, no, it's too late to withdraw our troops now. Haven't you heard that the Shanrong people and Xirong people have surrounded Aoshan?! If we go down now, we are throwing ourselves into a trap!"

"Then what should we do? If we don't retreat, are we going to confront the Rong people head-on?"

The scene was a bit out of control for a while, Ji Lin's face was very ugly, Qi Lu squinted his eyes when he heard the soldier's report, and suddenly said: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient!"

The envoys from various countries said in a panic: "Does Taifu Qi have any good way to defeat the enemy?"

"Yes, yes, if Taifu Qi has a good idea, tell him quickly."

"The Rong people are already at the foot of the mountain, even if they are gods, there is no way to retreat from the enemy!"

Qi Lv said: "Don't panic, everyone. Although the Shanrong and Xirong are united, they are coming together, but think about it, Tu He has always been alone. Although they are all Rong people, their tribes are different. Tu He never fights with others. Joining hands is only for fighting, but now you are joining forces with Mian Zhu from Xirong, what does this mean?"

Yu Yu's voice came from the crowd, and Yu Yu strode forward and said, "It means that Tu He's internal affairs are already in chaos, and he is vulnerable to a single blow."

After Tu He went through the battle of Fanguo, King Tu He lost his life, and lost Yu Yu, a general, and his strength was far from as great as before.

Rong people are just the definition of Zhou people. Shanrong and Xirong are different tribes, and they are incompatible. Now they are united, which shows that Tu He has been weakened internally, and Mianzhu of Xirong, because he heard about Shanrong, I was afraid of Zhou Tianzi, so the two sides started to join forces.

Qi Lv nodded and said, "That's right, Tu He is only an empty shell now, we are a big country, why should we mess ourselves up?"

The envoys said: "Although what Taifu Qi said is reasonable, the Rong people have already besieged the mountain. If they don't fight hard, they will just besiege. The food and grass we brought are only for hunting, not for war. In less than a month, we will definitely Food and water are running out!"

Qi Lv squinted his eyes and said: "The people who are besieging Aoshan now are only the vanguard troops of Shanrong and Xirong. We still have a chance to break through. As long as the army can go down the mountain smoothly and enter the capital, no matter how arrogant Shanrong and Xirong are, they will never be able to escape." Invade the city."

Shanrong people and Xirong people suddenly invaded the state of Zheng. This sounds like a fantasy, but the soldiers and horses of Shanrong and Xirong did come in, and the reason was Aoshan.

Aoshan is a hunting ground with rugged mountains and forests. Although there are officials who are responsible for raising prey, they cannot manage such a large defense line. It is most convenient for Shan Rong and Xi Rong to drive straight in.

Once entering the capital, the capital has solid gate defenses, and the Rong people will never be able to hit the gate of the capital.

"How to break through!"

"Yeah, how to break through?"

Qi Lu stroked his chin and said, "Lü has his own way."

As he spoke, he turned to Ji Lin and said, "Son of Heaven, please watch the battle!"

Qi Lu said that he had a way to repel the vanguard of the Rong people who surrounded Aoshan. To be honest, Ji Lin was also very worried. Qi Lu was a literati who didn't know martial arts at all, so how could he repel the Rong people?

However, Qi Lv vowed firmly and had his own way.And now that time is running out and there is no way out, Ji Lin immediately dispatched a team of archers according to what Qi Lu said, and let Yu lead the troops who are familiar with the fighting style of the Rong people. The Rong army that surrounded Aoshan went.

Ji Lin was worried about Qi Lu, so he had to go with him. Their number of archers was not many, only a few hundred, and they couldn't compare with the vanguard of the Rong people.

Everyone went up and down the mountain to the middle of the mountain, and sure enough they saw the Rong people, and the flames formed one piece, spreading down the mountain, forming a big circle around the city, and surrounding the whole Ao Mountain was airtight. In this case, a bird Can't run out.

Seeing this situation, Ji Lin couldn't help frowning. It seems that the current situation is not optimistic, and it is very critical.

After seeing it, Qi Lu showed a reassuring look, and said to Ji Lin, "Look, Son of Heaven, the teams of Tu Heren and Mian Zhuren are clearly divided."

Ji Lin naturally noticed that the costumes of the people on the two sides were different, and the formation of troops was also different. The differentiation was very clear and there was a clear boundary.

Qi Lu said: "Although Tu He and Mian Zhu cooperate, they don't trust each other after all. We can take advantage of this."

After Qi Lu finished speaking, he turned to Yu Yu and said, "General Yu, please speak on your behalf."

Hearing Qi Lu's words, You Yu immediately left with his hands in his hands, and then organized the archers, shouting down the mountain in unison: "Thank you, brothers Tu He—you finally attracted Xirong's mediocre dog—"

"Thank you - thank you - Tu He's brother - brother -"

The chorus of the archers echoed on Ao Mountain, echoing round after round, and passed down the mountain in a concussive manner. Such a loud voice was still shouting repeatedly, and the Shanrong people and Xirong people surrounding the mountain naturally heard it.

Ji Lin frowned slightly, and said, "Teacher, this method doesn't seem to be working. How could the Rong people fight among themselves because of these two sentences of provocation?"

Qi Lu smiled and said, "Of course not, this is just an appetizer."

Sure enough, although the Rong people at the foot of the mountain heard the archer's shout, they didn't take it seriously.Both Tu He and Mian Zhu knew that Qi Lu was "cunning", so how could they turn against each other because of these two words, and they still surrounded the mountain without moving.

Tu He's general said: "The people of Zhou are cunning, so don't trust their words! We Tu He and the people of Zhou are at odds with each other. How can we join forces with the people of Zhou to frame you Mianzhu?"

The general of Mianzhu sneered, and said: "I have long heard that Zhou people have a grand tutor who is scheming, cunning and eloquent. I am afraid it is him! Brother Tu He, don't worry, we are not barbarians, how could we believe that?" Have you heard their nonsense?!"

"That's right, I think their Zhou people are at the end of their strength, and there is no other way, why not go up the mountain now!"

"No mistake, kill! Go up the mountain for me!"

"kill--!!"

"kill--"

Not only did Tu He and Mian Zhu not believe Qi Lv's "nonsense", but they couldn't hold back anymore and began to send troops to attack the mountain.

Ji Lin said, "Teacher, what should we do now?"

Qi Lu was not in a hurry. Although there were only a few hundred of them, they were far from enough to resist the two groups of Rong people, but Qi Lu seemed to be able to handle it with ease, and said: "Don't fight head-on with the Rong people, archers shoot arrows, remember... Aim only at Mianzhu people."

The archers looked at each other, not knowing what Taifu Qi meant, but Yu Yu immediately ordered, "Shooting arrows!!"

whoosh-

Whoosh whoosh--!

Hundreds of archers fired their bows and arrows, and descended from the sky. Taking advantage of their high ground, arrows rained down, instantly blocking the Rong people who wanted to attack up the mountain.

Because there is a clear dividing line between Mianzhu and Tu He's armies, it is also very convenient for archers to shoot arrows. They only aim at Mianzhu's army, and Mianzhu's army instantly becomes a living target, a hornet's nest.

"Look! Why is there nothing wrong with Tu He's army!?"

"Why did Zhou people only target us?"

"Could it be..."

"Could it be that Tu He and Zhou Ren really joined forces to trick us into getting involved?!"

Qi Lv asked Yu to lead people to shout, thanking Tu He for leading Mian Zhu into the trap, but Mian Zhu's generals didn't believe it at all. How could they think that what they didn't believe at all just now became the wariness of the Xirong people.

The archers only shot Mianzhu people, and Tu Heren was not injured, which inevitably made them think a little more.

"Okay," Mianzhu's general looked at it, resentful in his heart, and said, "No wonder Tu He took the initiative to join forces with us, saying that it was a trap to take revenge!"

Tu He's general looked at it and immediately said: "That's not the case, a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! It's Zhou people's trick!"

"What a trick!" General Mianzhu was furious, and the soldiers around him were hit by arrows one by one, but Tu He's soldiers were fine, so the general Mianzhu shouted angrily: "I think you Tu He is a trick! Kill! Today, the Zhou people and the Tu He dog thieves will be eradicated together!!"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, stop hitting..."

"kill--"

After a while, the Shanrong people and Xirong people who had just returned to the alliance became chaotic, and the soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain were in a mess, fighting each other.

Qi Lv raised his lips and smiled, and said: "Son of Heaven, take this opportunity to order the withdrawal of troops and leave Aoshan. Now that the vanguard troops of Shan Rong and Xi Rong are in chaos, our army can just take this opportunity to retreat. If the large troops of Shan Rong and Xi Rong follow up, At that time, it will not be easy to evacuate Aoshan."

At the foot of the mountain was only the vanguard of the Liang-faced Rong people, with a total of several thousand people. At this time, it was already in chaos, and it was just time to fish in troubled waters.But this is only the vanguard of the Rong people. The spies came to report, and there was a large army to support them. Shanrong Tuhe was almost dispatched. Once he missed the opportunity to go down the mountain, there would be endless troubles.

Ji Lin nodded immediately and said, "Hurry up, tell me to recruit, the army will go down the mountain and retreat into the capital!"

Zheng Bowusheng and others were all waiting in the camp, and after a while, they waited for the emperor's edict, and the army of Rong people at the foot of the mountain was in disarray, so they could take the opportunity to retreat.

The envoys were taken aback, they didn't expect that in such a short time, less than half an hour, Taifu Qi really turned the tide and turned the tide. The Shanrong people and Xirong people who were "colluding" just now killed each other to the death.

Zheng Bowusheng made a decisive decision and said: "Jizhong, hurry up, count the soldiers and horses, and go down the mountain immediately."

"Yes!" Ji Zhong clasped his fists and exited the camp without talking nonsense.

The soldiers and horses in the camp moved quickly, and drove down the mountain quickly. At this time, the Shanrong people and Xirong people at the foot of the mountain were still fighting, and their eyes were red. Pig, no one wants to let it go.

Ji Lin quickly got on the horse's back, grabbed Qi Lu, and brought Qi Lu onto the horse's back. At this time, there was no way to ride in a cart, and Qi Lu was not good at riding a horse, so the emperor didn't care about anything, so he simply put Qi Lu on the horse. They pulled on the horses together, wrapped people in their arms, and ordered: "Go!"

The army broke through, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from the mountain like thunder, as if it was rolling thunder from the sky. Zhu Dan and Yu Ge led the soldiers and horses to guard them, and quickly descended the mountain with the army between them.

The Shanrong people and the Xirong people were fighting fiercely. Suddenly they heard rumbling vibrations and saw torches all over the mountains. Only then did they realize that the Zhou people who had camped on the mountain had come down the mountain.

"Quick!! Stop them for me!"

"Array! Send troops!"

"General, you can't send out troops! We suffered heavy losses and were all killed by Tu Heren!"

"what?!"

The situation in Mianzhu's side is not optimistic. He was provoked by Qi Lv just now and envious of Tu He Rensha, but now he takes a closer look and sees that the vanguard has become old and weak, unable to compete with the Huben army.

Although the soldiers and horses of the State of Zheng came to hunt, but in order to save face, Zheng Bowei brought all the elites, and the Luo division and tiger army who came with him were also the elites of the elites. Unexpectedly, the situation is now in chaos and the backup has not caught up. The situation is not optimistic.

The generals of Mianzhu looked at it and said viciously: "The people of Zhou have already descended the mountain. We have no reason to charge here because of Tu He's dog. Tu He really has no plan! Come, order, Ming Jin withdraws!!"

"Mingjin—"

"withdraw troops--"

Tu He and Mian Zhu had a good talk, but Mian Zhu suddenly withdrew his troops, Mian Zhu's vanguard suddenly withdrew, and fled with their tails between their legs, leaving only Tu He's soldiers and horses.

Tu He's general roared angrily: "Hold me!! Kill!"

"Don't let the cunning Zhou people go down the mountain! Stop them!"

"Kill—at all costs!"

Tu He's general ordered to urge the soldiers after the bitter battle with Mianzhu to continue to charge and prevent Huben's army from going down the mountain.Now Mianzhu's soldiers and horses have retreated, half of the vanguard has been lost, and Tu He's soldiers and horses have been weakened by Mianzhu. It can be said that only a quarter of their troops are left, which is greatly weakened. The Huben army is still afraid of them ?

Ji Lin sneered, and said, "Take them all!"

For a while, the soldiers and horses on both sides clashed quickly, it was mountainous again, the sky was still dark, and the surroundings were surrounded by the sound of killing, all the sounds of shouts and weapons.

Qi Lu raised his head and glanced at the sky. It will be midnight soon. What Qi Lu is most worried about now is the emperor. The emperor will turn into a little dog at midnight. If he suddenly "transforms" in front of everyone, he doesn't know what will happen. Such trouble.

Sure enough, Ji Lin took Qi Lu and galloped down the mountain. At this time, midnight had already quietly approached, and Ji Lin felt his mind spinning. He couldn't help the dizziness. Holding the body, the body became more and more weak, and fell into darkness in an instant...

"Shoot arrows!!"

"Don't let Zhou people go down the mountain!"

"Shoot the arrow—"

There was chaos all around, Qi Lu sat on the horse, suddenly felt his back sinking, the body of the emperor suddenly went limp, and directly pressed on Qi Lu's back.

Qi Lu was taken aback, and his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the Son of Heaven had turned into a little dog.At this moment, "Whoosh—" a flash of light dazzled Qi Lu's eyes, and Qi Luding saw that it was a cold arrow!

Leng Jian came towards Qi Lu and Ji Lin quickly, Qi Lu subconsciously turned around and hugged Ji Lin, and threw himself on the horse with all his might.

Bang-!

"The emperor has fallen!"

"Teacher Qi!"

"The king of Zhou has fallen, hurry up!"

Qi Lu only felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, the cold arrow didn't hit Ji Lin's body, instead it brushed Qi Lu's shoulder and cut it directly. fell off the horse.

Because it was a downhill road, the two of them fell off their horses together and immediately rolled up quickly. Qi Lu hugged Ji Lin tightly, his vision was dim, and he couldn't stabilize his figure at all. His body rolled involuntarily and rushed all the way down the mountain.

I don't know how long he rolled, Qi Lu's forehead and limbs were knocked hard many times, and they were already numb. Then he fell into a deep ditch with a "gudong" and calmed down.

"The king of Zhou has fallen, look for him!"

"Here, whoosh—"

Hearing the shouts, Qi Lu felt another thump in his heart. It was the voice of Tu Heren, who was nearby. It seemed that Tu Heren was chasing him, and he and Ji Lin had already left the Huben army, and they might be arrested at any time. Woke up, at this moment Ji Lin still lost consciousness.

The fire kept approaching, and it really was Tu Heren, not the Huben Army.

Enduring the severe pain in his body, Qi Lu glanced at the unconscious Ji Lin, gritted his teeth, grabbed a handful of branches and fallen leaves, and covered Ji Lin's tall body tightly, then propped himself up from the ground, struggling Climb out of the pit.

"Swish!"

Qi Lu purposely made a big noise, and as expected, those Tu He people heard the noise immediately, and shouted at Qi Lu: "Over there!!"

"Come on!"

"Catch up and grab him!"

Qi Lu deliberately made a movement to lure Tu He's soldiers away, and ran forward all the way, but Tu He's soldiers behind him were riding on horses, much faster than Qi Lu, and Qi Lu hurriedly came behind the sound of the wind, "Crack!" There was a sound of a horsewhip hitting Qi Lu's vest.

"Hey..." Qi Lu let out a cry of pain, and suddenly fell forward, falling to the ground.

Soldiers Tu He immediately grabbed the reins and pulled Qi Lv up from the ground.Qi Lv fell to the ground, her hair crown had fallen off, her black hair fell loose, her body was covered in blood, mixed with dust, and she was in a state of distress. I don't know if it was because of running or because of the pain. He was panting heavily. Grabbing roughly by the hair, forcing him to look up.

Soldiers Tu He looked at Qi Lu's face and said, "It's not King Zhou!"

"Who is this? Just kill him!"

The soldiers of Tu He raised their weapons, but at this moment they heard the sound of horseshoes coming. It turned out that it was Tu He's general who came. You guessed it right, he is the big celebrity in front of the King of Zhou, the Taifu of the King of Zhou!"

"Come on, take him away!"

Tu He's army had only a quarter of its strength left, and was unable to fight against the Huben army at all. It was quickly defeated and fled away like a tide.

But at this moment, the army retreated from Mount Ao, but it was also in a state of chaos. Zheng Bowei said with a dark face, "What does it mean that the emperor is missing?! Look for it, and let Gu look for it all!"

The Son of Heaven and Taifu Qi fell off their horses and disappeared without a trace. There was no one alive or dead. If something happened to the Son of Heaven in the territory of Zheng State, Zheng Bo would not be able to bear such a big blame, although other vassal states may I don't like being too powerful when the emperor is today, but if something happens to the emperor in Zheng Guo, the other princes will use this excuse to join forces to attack Zheng Guo and annex Zheng Guo first.

Zheng Boweisheng knew in his heart that on the one hand, it was because of the emperor's affairs, and on the other hand, because the Shanrong people were too hateful, they were so angry that the army had already retreated into the capital, and many soldiers and horses were sent out to search.

Unfortunately, the result turned out to be nothing...

Mian Zhu suddenly withdrew his troops, and Tu He's vanguard was defeated. He failed to wait for reinforcements, and failed to trap Emperor Zhou on Mount Ao. The Zhou people retreated into the boundary of the capital. This plan has been regarded as a total failure.

General Tu He was furious, and said, "Damn it!! It's really hateful! It's all Qi Lu!"

Qi Lu destroyed the coalition forces of Tu He and Mian Zhu. As Qi Lu said, Tu He was at the end of his battle, and he jumped over the wall in a hurry. He wanted to take revenge on the emperor, but now he failed to retaliate. There was nowhere to vent his anger, and he immediately yelled: "Go, bring that Qi Lv to me for interrogation, I will beat him to death!"

Qi Lu's shoulders hurt and he was covered with injuries. He was taken back to the camp by Tu He's soldiers and was detained in shackles. He was in a state of confusion, feeling cold and hot at the same time. Feeling hot and feeling sick.

"Bang!" At this moment, someone broke into the tent and brought up Qi Lu.

Qi Lu was limp and had no strength to resist at all. He was escorted into Tu Heren's shogunate tent, "Boom!" The soldier pushed slightly, Qi Lu staggered and fell directly to the ground.

"It's you," General Tu He said coldly, "It's you who ruined my plan! Today I will make your life worse than death!"

Qi Lu couldn't hear what they were saying, his ears were buzzing, and just as he fell to the ground, General Tu He picked him up brutally.

"General, wait a minute, wait a minute!"

The advisers around General Tu He immediately stopped him, saying: "General, if you kill this thief, the general's hatred will indeed be relieved, but it will be over for us, Tu He!"

General Tu He said, "How do you say that?"

The counselor said: "Qi Lv is the most popular man in front of the king of Zhou, and the leader of the Luo division's three princes. Now I have lost Tu He's army, failed to complete the plan, and lost Mianzhu's coalition forces. I am afraid that the king of Zhou will be furious. I will send troops to wipe out Tu He! There is a shortage of soldiers and horses in Tu He, and there is not enough food and grass. By then, it will really be over! Why... why don't you ask the general to temporarily save this thief's life, and we will use Taifu Qi as a hostage, The king of Zhou asked for an alliance, as long as there is a chance to recuperate, why don't we worry about why Tu can't grow up again?"

Tu He's general narrowed his eyes and began to think carefully.Since King Tu He was killed, the civil strife in Tu He was very serious, and the sons of King Tu He all wanted to be the king. Perish, let alone if Zhou Tianzi sent troops to crusade.

This time, Tu He joined forces with Mian Zhu, intending to severely injure the Emperor Zhou, but Qi Lvxiaoxiao provoked him with a few words.

General Tu He squinted his eyes and said, "Using him to blackmail King Zhou, will it really work?"

The counselor nodded and said, "It works! The general doesn't know that this Qi Taifu was born as a servant, but now he is promoted to the head of the three princes. It is because this Qi Taifu is the benefactor of the king of Zhou. He is obedient!"

General Tu He seemed apprehensive, and said, "This is a good idea, but... you have also seen that this thief is full of tricks, so I am worried about taking him as a hostage."

The counselor said: "General, please don't worry, what's the matter? Give him some medicinal soup and let him be honest, won't it be all right?"

Ji Lin turned into a little dog in the middle of the night, barking anxiously, and Qi Lv was nowhere to be seen all night. Zheng Boweisheng had already sent someone to look for him, but they couldn't find him.

The sky was slightly chilly, and finally, the little dog felt dizzy for a while, and tilted his head, opened his eyes again, his eyes were dim, and his breath was filled with the smell of dust.

rustle……

Ji Lin moved slightly, and dust kept falling from his face. He took a closer look and found that his body was covered with branches and leaves, no wonder the smell of dust was everywhere.

There was a deep pit all around. Except for the dull pain in Ji Lin's body, he should have fallen when he rolled down. The others were not injured.

This is the forest of Mount Ao, there are ruins and broken halberds everywhere, there are traces of fighting, but at this time the buildings are empty, Ji Lin's eyes are sharp, and some bloodstains on the ground are almost buried by dust.

Ji Lin's heart tightened, he didn't see Qi Lu, and thought of Zheng Bowei's words, he couldn't find him all night.
