spring and autumn officials

"Come here! Please, the Taifu of the Zhou people, drink this medicine!"

"Yes, General!"

Qi Lu was in a daze, but was suddenly lifted up, and two people held his arms, forcing Qi Lu to look up.

Qi Lu's hair on the temples was scattered, and scattered back as he raised his head, only to reveal his blood-stained face. The blood stains hung on his face, making Qi Lu's face even paler, but his cheeks were flushed abnormally. The breath that came out was also slightly hot, steaming in the cold winter day.

I don't know if it's because the wound hasn't been bandaged yet. At first, Qi Lv only felt pain from the wound, but then he felt weak all over, and soon he couldn't lift up his strength.

It's just that Tu He didn't care whether Qi Lu was sick or had a fever, and he didn't treat Qi Lu's wounds, nor did he have any bandages.

Qi Lu was held up by two soldiers, with a bowl of hot soup pressed to his lips. This was not a soup for wounds, nor a soup for fever.

It was Tu Heren who was afraid that Qi Lu would be too smart and that he would escape, so he bought some decoctions specially.

Tu He's counselor smiled and said: "General, don't worry, this soup is very powerful. As long as you drink it a few times, no matter how smart and cunning Qi Lu is, he will be as good as a lamb! General, just hold it How dare the King of Zhou refuse to obey their Taifu of the Zhou people and use Qi Law to threaten the King of Zhou? At that time, the general will not only be able to form an alliance with the Zhou people and get the opportunity for us Tu He to recuperate, but also ask the Zhou people for money. Money, rebuild me and Tu He!"

Tu He's general stared at Qi Lu suspiciously, and said, "I hope your decoction will work, and don't cause me any trouble."

"It works, it works, it works!"

The counselors talked in a dozen and directed the soldiers, saying, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and give Qi Taifu some medicine!"

When Qi Lu heard Tu Heren's words, although he had no strength in his body, he struggled hard and kept his mouth shut. Tu He's soldiers supported Qi Lu, and another soldier poured soup into Qi Lu's mouth.Qi Lu kept his mouth shut and kept shaking his head. The soup leaked down and slid down Qi Lu's neck, and immediately soaked his clothes. The soup was boiling hot, but the weather was very cold, and it became icy cold instantly after it was spilled.

"Trash!" General Tu He said coldly, "Don't waste the soup! Pour it all in! Pour it in!"

As he said, he walked over, "Boom!" He punched Qi Lu directly in the abdomen. Qi Lu was already weak, and there was a sharp pain in his abdomen. He curled up, not to mention struggling, and had no strength at all.

Soldiers Tu He immediately stepped forward, clamped Qi Lu's mouth, and forced him to open his mouth. The soup was poured down immediately, causing Qi Lu to cough, let alone his clothes, and his hair on the temples were all covered by the soup. wet.

A bitter taste permeated the air. Qi Lu didn't understand the principles of medicine. He didn't know what the soup was for, but he didn't need to guess. It must be something bad. No, the pain in the abdomen was so severe that it made my body numb, and I collapsed on the ground with a "gudong", and my knee hit the ground, but I didn't know the pain anymore, and my whole body fell down and collapsed on the ground.

General Tu He looked coldly at the embarrassed Qi Lv, showed a sinister smile, and said, "Go, this general wants to give King Zhou some greetings."

"Yes!"

"Tianzi, it's bad! The Shanrong people have captured Taifu Qi!"

When Ji Lin walked into the main hall of the capital's palace, Zheng Bowei immediately led him up, holding a rectangular box in his hand, and when he opened it, there was a smell of blood inside, and it turned out to be a blood-stained robe.

Ji Lin clearly remembered that when the Tai Tuo disappeared, he was wearing this robe. It was midnight, and Ji Lin suddenly lost consciousness. The last time he saw Qi Lu protecting himself with his body, he was wearing this robe. Such a robe.

It's just that Qi Lu's robe was not stained with blood at that time, but at this moment, the robe is dotted with blood, which makes him look in a mess.

Ji Lin squinted his eyes, furious with the veins on the back of his hands, and ignored the "dirty" of the robe, took it out of the seat, and said in a hoarse voice, "Who sent it? Where is it?"

Zheng Bowusheng clasped his hands and said, "Tuhe found the refugee and sent it. Wusheng has already interrogated the refugee. The refugee doesn't know what is in the bag. Except for this robe, Tuhe has not made any movement for the time being, and he has not let the refugee bring it. talk."

Ji Lin's face became even more ugly. Tu Heren took Qi Lu away, but he didn't say anything. They didn't seem to be in a hurry. This was obviously just a warning.

Ji Zhong pondered and said: "He who Tu sent Taifu Qi's robe, obviously there will be some movement. Although Taifu Qi fell into the hands of Shanrong, the Shanrong people are at a disadvantage now, so they must use Taifu Qi as a threat." , and please rest assured, at least the Taifu is safe now."

What Ji Zhong said makes sense. The Shanrong people are already at the end of their strength. Now they have captured Qi Lu and sent him a robe. The threat is very heavy. Qi Lu is very important in their hands, so at least Qi Lu's safety is guaranteed.

Safety is one aspect, but the robe is heavily stained with blood, Ji Lin's hair is tight, Tu Heren drinks blood like a hair, and his culture is different from that of the Central Plains people, who knows if Qi Lu will suffer if he falls into their hands?

Thinking of this, Ji Lin tightened his hands holding the robe, and held the robe tightly in his palm, his fingertips turned white, and said in a deep and cold voice: "Go find out where Tu Heren is camping, and what's going on next?" , Go and find out for the widow.”

"Yes!"

The Shanrong people first sent a robe of Qi Taifu to the capital, and then they lived in peace.After all, the city walls of the capital are tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack. At that time, Gong Shuduan was sealed in the capital, showing off his power and domineering. The defense of the capital can be described as impregnable. Back then, the strong soldiers and horses couldn't break through the capital, let alone the fact that King Tu He is dead now, and his power is not as powerful as before.

Tu He has been very quiet, and after a few days, there is a new movement.

"Son of Heaven!" Ji Ya rushed into the hall in a hurry and said, "Son of Heaven! Why is there any movement from Tu He! Tu He sent an envoy, just outside the capital!"

Ji Lin was waiting for Tu Heren's movement, when he heard Ji Ya's words, he squinted his eyes and said, "Let go!"

"Yes!" Ji Ya cupped his hands and said, "Ya is going to spread the word!"

As he spoke, he probably cupped his hands, turned around and ran, ran out of the hall, and headed towards the gate of the capital.

Tu Heren sent envoys to the capital, swaggered in from under the gate of the capital, and was taken into the palace of the capital.

Ji Lin sat on the chair of the main hall, surrounded by envoys from various countries, as well as Zheng Guojun Wusheng, Zheng Guoquan minister Ji Zhong, Qi Guo Gongsun Wuzhi and so on.

Above the main hall, there were not a few people with status, and envoys from the princes gathered, the scene was not small, Tu He's envoy walked in, but swaggered, straightened his waist, shy belly, took square steps, The appearance of a vice-gentry.

Tu He's envoy came in, stood in the hall with his chest up and his belly up, looked at Ji Lin with his chin up, and said, "You are the king of Zhou?"

"Presumptuous!" Zheng Bowu scolded, "How dare you be rude to my king?"

The envoy of Tu He was not afraid at all, he laughed and said, "Impolite? I think my etiquette is already very particular. Why are we Tu He not like you Zhou people, and we don't understand your Zhou people's rules? What kind of etiquette is not etiquette?" ? King Zhou, don't take offense!"

The envoy Tu He seemed to be visiting his backyard, and his tone of voice was extremely arrogant. The veins on Ji Lin's forehead twitched wildly, and the envoys from all over the world couldn't stand it, but unexpectedly, the young emperor didn't lose his temper.

Ji Lin suppressed his anger, but said in a serious voice: "The envoy Tu He came here today, isn't it just to compete with my Da Zhou in etiquette?"

The envoy Tu He said: "King Zhou, what you said is right. I came this time to deliver a message for our general, and I will give you a big gift, King Zhou!"

As he said, he clapped his hands in "Papa", and a follower brought up a zygote. Last time it was a big zygote, but this time it was a small zygote.

As soon as Ji Lin saw the zygote, his heart tightened immediately, he didn't know what was inside the zygote, Tu Heren was always barbaric, and he didn't know if Taifu Qi had suffered.

The envoy Tu He handed the zygote up, and Ji Lin immediately took the zygote and opened it with a "click". Also stained with blood.

Ji Lin said coldly, "Envoy Tu He, what do you mean?"

The envoy of Tu He put his hips on his hips and said with a smile: "King Zhou, this is the sincerity of our general! I heard that King Zhou fully trusts his master. Can't King Zhou see that this hair on the temples belongs to Taifu Qi?"

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Take our Zhou people's sideburns as sincerity, Envoy Tu He, your sincerity is not too insincere, isn't it?"

The envoy of Tu He said: "Prince Zhou, please forgive me. Because we Tu He were oppressed by your Zhou people, we can't show any good sincerity. If you think this sincerity is too light, then we will have to chop off Qi He tomorrow." One of Taifu's fingers, or one of Qi Taifu's eyes, or Qi Taifu's tongue is cut off, and sent here to express our sincerity!"

"That's right," the envoy Tu He seemed to be talking excitedly, and couldn't help laughing again: "We, Tu He, have also heard that Taifu Qi has a good skill in cooking, and I don't know if Taifu Qi will lose it. Tongue, I can’t speak, I can’t taste, so do I need to eat after that? Hahaha—”

Standing beside Ji Ya, trembling with anger, he held down his saber, and rushed up to cut down the envoy of Tu He. Holding down the sword, he shook his head and said softly, "Little gentleman, don't act rashly."

Ji Ya's face turned red and his arms trembled. Compared with Ji Ya's spirit, the emperor seemed "calm".

The emperor heard Tu He's envoy's arrogant and threatening words, but he didn't jump into a rage. Instead, he calmed down more and more, and said lightly: "Since Tu He's envoy has brought sincerity, just speak up if you have something to say."

"King Zhou understands the truth." Envoy Tu He praised Ji Lin without shame, and said with a smile, "Our general said that we want to form an alliance with King Zhou. As long as King Zhou agrees to the alliance, everything can be discussed. But if the King of Zhou disagrees with the alliance, hum..."

Messenger Tu He didn't continue to speak, but the meaning was already obvious, that arrogant aura wished to come out of Messenger Tu He's upturned nostrils.

It was the first time Zheng Bowei had seen such an arrogant person in all these years of his reign, and he sneered lightly.

Zheng Bowu sneered because he saw through the current emperor.Do you still think that today's emperor is worthy of assuming the throne, the emperor who has been flattened and rounded by others?Zheng Bowusheng had heard about it a long time ago. The Son of Heaven killed King Tu He first, and even dared to kill King Tu He. This proves that the current emperor is no longer the emperor of the "milk baby" back then.

Zheng Bowu sneered, it was because Xiaotu He's emissary was not clear enough.

Ji Lin looked at the arrogant envoy Tu He indifferently, nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to make an alliance."

The envoy Tu He seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and said: "The location of the alliance is set to be in Fanguo, and then the King of Zhou will be honored! That's right, if there is nothing else, then I won't stay with the envoy, so... "

Before he finished speaking, Ji Lin had already laughed, but there was always a sense of sternness, and he seemed to be smiling, and said: "Why is the messenger in such a hurry? The messenger is a guest from afar, and he brought Tu What's your sincerity? As the Son of Heaven, how can you not entertain the envoy with courtesy? I'm afraid the envoy has heard of it. My diet in Dazhou is different from yours. Why don't you take advantage of this gap and let me personally entertain the envoy. "

The envoy Tu He always felt a little awkward listening to the emperor, but he didn't know where the awkwardness was. He thought Ji Lin was afraid of Tu He. After all, Tu He had hostages in his hands, and Ji Lin didn't dare to act rashly.

The envoy of Tu He said: "Okay, I don't know what delicious food you Zhou people have, so just serve it up!"

But Ji Lin said, "Please envoy Tu He to move."

Ji Lin stood up and actually led the way himself. The envoy Tu He became even more arrogant, thinking that the Emperor Zhou was really afraid of him, and followed Ji Lin out of the hall blatantly.

Ji Lin stood up, and all the courtiers around him also stood up, and they all walked out of the hall, not knowing where the emperor was going.

Doctors Qing looked at each other and followed behind, and the road became more and more remote, narrower and less popular.

The envoy Tu He was also surprised, so he said, "King Zhou, where are you taking me? Isn't it to eat?"

Ji Lin smiled and said: "Yes, eat. Tu He's emissary may not know that your captured Taifu Qi really likes to cook by himself, and he has a unique way of eating. Today, this widow will bring Tu He Messenger, you have seen and seen."

The envoy Tu He was very surprised, but after listening to Ji Lin's words, he thought he was going to eat some fresh and delicious food, so he followed him. After walking not far, he suddenly found that the dining room was in front of him.

The emperor took a step forward and walked into the dining room naturally, not to mention the envoy of Tu He, the other high officials were also surprised, not knowing what the name of the emperor was, to bring the envoy of Tu He into the dining room.

The hostesses in the capital had never seen such a grand occasion, and they were stunned for a moment, looking at the emperor, the monarch, and the officials who came in.

The envoy of Tu He looked at the dining room full of oily smoke with disgust. Although Tu He and the Central Plains had different cultures, the ancients seemed to think that the dining room was a dirty, dirty and lowly place. He fanned the air with his hands and said, "King Zhou, what delicacy do you want to treat me to?"

Ji Lin said calmly: "Message Tu He will find out after a while. Don't be in a hurry to enjoy the delicious food."

As he spoke, he ordered the cook to say, "Make a bowl of porridge and water for the widow."

The cooks dare not disobey, just obey orders, and immediately go to make porridge water, wash the rice, turn off the water and boil it.

The envoy Tu He was even more surprised. He was impatient with the waiting, and said: "You Zhou people are really fresh. You host a banquet and choose a dirty place in the dining room. What's the reason? Zhou people? Are you all that rude?"

Ji Lin smiled faintly, and returned all the envoy Tu He's words to him just now, saying: "Our Da Zhou's etiquette is different from that of Tu He, so the envoy Tu He should not be offended."

Envoy Tu He was at a loss for words, so Ji Lin said calmly, "Envoy Tu He, do you know that you made a huge mistake today?"

Envoy Tu He frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Ji Lin said lightly: "The reason why Tu He captured Taifu Qi and formed an alliance with the widow is not because you, Tu He, are too powerful. If Tu He was really strong, he would not have chosen to form an alliance, but to invade, as the widow said. Right? The reason why Tu He did not choose to invade, but to form an alliance, is actually to suspend the battle and recuperate. The envoy of Tu He didn't even understand this, but your general Tu He sent you like this It is a pity that a person of wood comes to be an envoy."

Envoy Tu He thumped in his heart, and felt that something was wrong.

Ji Lin said again slowly: "Emissary Tu He is not aware of his situation at all, nor is he aware of his status at all. It is absolutely impossible for you Tu He to give up the alliance in order to recuperate. Guess what, if the widows are more rude to you, Tu He's emissary, will you, General Tu He, give up the alliance because of you as a small emissary?"

"You..." Tu He's envoy finally understood, and said, "How dare you?! Qi Lu is in the hands of our Tu He, how dare you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Lin's face turned cold instantly, he put on his black sleeves and said, "Grab it."

The Huben army immediately stepped forward and grabbed the envoy Tu He. The envoy Tu He wanted to escape, but the dining room was such a big idea, and it was full of high officials, so there was no time to escape. The envoy Tu He was immediately held down by the Huben army. Staggering, he fell directly on the stove, his face was covered with black ash.

"Let go of me!! I am Tu He's emissary!"

"How dare Zhou people be rude to the messenger?!"

"Tu He won't let you go!"

Just as Tu He's envoy was yelling, the cook came over tremblingly and said, "Heaven, Son of Heaven, the porridge is ready."

Ji Lin turned his head and glanced at the bubbling porridge water. The porridge water was boiled very viscous and kept bubbling and bubbling. It was steaming hot in the bitter winter.

The corners of Ji Lin's lips tugged lightly, revealing a faint but indifferent smile, and said, "I still remember that Taifu Qi likes to use boiling porridge as a punishment on weekdays, but..."

Ji Lin sighed, and said: "It's just that Taifu Qi is too kind-hearted, always saying mean things, and never putting them into action. Today, this widow is different..."

As he spoke, his voice became tense, and he said coldly: "Come, please envoy Tu He to eat porridge and taste the delicacy of our Dazhou. Remember...you must eat it while it is hot."

"Yes!"

Tiger Jun immediately took the hot porridge water, scaring the messenger to constantly struggle, shouting, "Let me go !!! Let me go -life -saving ... hot ... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ..."

Doctors Qing understood what the Son of Heaven meant, and all of them had serious faces. They heard the wailing of Tu He's envoy. Only then did they realize that the Son of Heaven was no longer the Son of Heaven. Knowing how to strategize, is also more... ruthless.

Hearing Tu He's envoy's wailing, Ji Lin's handsome face didn't move at all, and then he heard Ji Zhong's voice saying, "My Son, Tu He envoy has passed out."

Ji Lin said lightly, "Wake him up."

wow-

Just after pouring hot and viscous porridge water, the icy cold water suddenly poured down on his head. The envoy of Tu He shuddered, causing the pain in his throat, grinning his teeth in pain, sweating profusely, and curled up shivering .

Ji Lin looked down at the envoy of Tu He who was so arrogant just now, but now he looked like a defeated quail, and said coldly: "Go back and tell you General Tu He that I promised to make an alliance. Remember to treat Taifu Qi well." Some, otherwise...the widow doesn't know what he will do."

Envoy Tu He had a sore throat and was still dripping with cold water, and nodded in fright.

Ji Lin said lightly, "Get out."

As if being pardoned, the envoy Tu He immediately ran up from the ground and rushed towards the door of the dining room, "Boom!" He tripped and fell to the ground, almost knocking off his front teeth Yes, cover your mouth and run away.

Tu He asked for an alliance, and the location of the alliance was on the border of Fanguo. Speaking of which, this place is not unfamiliar at all, isn't it the place where Yu Yu used to occupy the mountain, and it was called the mountain forest of Jingyu.

Tu He is a mountain warrior and is familiar with mountain warfare, so other people's alliances are set up in spacious fields, but Tu He's alliance set up camps on the mountains, which is more beneficial to them.

The Son of Heaven's army set out and came to Fan Kingdom ahead of time. Fan Bo came to Xiaoyi from the capital of Fan Kingdom and greeted him at the gate of Xiaoyi.

Ji Lin was dressed in a black robe, boasting a sword at his waist. He stepped down from the chariot with big strides. As he walked forward, he said very skillfully, "What's the matter with the Shanrong people?"

Fan Bo immediately replied: "Shanrong people have already stationed in Jingyu Mountain, and the army is very tight. Please...please forgive me, the emperor sent out. The spies from the Huben army did not...have not found any news about Qi Taifu."

Qi Lu was the trump card in the hands of Tu Heren, so naturally he had to guard it tightly, and there was no news about Qi Lu at all. In addition, Jingyu was a place where it was difficult to spy, and it was not easy for Fan Bo to startle the snake.

Ji Lin said nothing in a deep voice, and soon entered the small town of Fan Kingdom.

Now they have arrived in Xiaoyi of Fanguo, very close to the meeting place of Jingyu League, but the emperor ordered the whole army to be stationed in Xiaoyi and not to go out of the city for the time being.

There is still some time before the date of the alliance, they have already arrived ahead of time, but they did not go to the appointment in advance, but stationed in the small town near Jingyu, Ji Ya was very anxious, wishing to go to Jingyu immediately to check the situation of Qi Lu .

Sacrificial teeth were milling around in the post, and finally couldn't help it, hurried to the house where the emperor was staying, and said straight to the point: "Son, we have come to Fanguo, why don't we go to Jingyu and stay in Xiaoyi instead?" You can’t see Taifu Qi’s situation here.”

Ji Lin was extremely calm, the closer he got to Jingyu, the closer he was to the day of the alliance, the calmer he became, and he said flatly: "Don't worry about offering sacrifices to the little gentleman, I have my own arrangements."

"Arrangements?" Said Ji Ya: "What arrangements do you have, Son of Heaven, if you need Ya to do it, the Son of Heaven just takes care of the branch."

But Ji Lin said, "There is no need to sacrifice to the little gentleman."

Ji Ya was even more strange, the emperor said he had his own arrangement, but he didn't reveal it to himself, Ji Ya was scratching his head, wondering about the emperor's arrangement on the one hand, and worried about Qi Lv's safety on the other hand.

Instead, the emperor said: "Sacrificing to the little gentleman, it's getting late, and the widow wants to rest."

The emperor saw off the guests, and Ji Ya had to leave the emperor's house. He came out, kicked the stones on the ground, stared down at the stones that had been kicked by him and sulked, then heard the sound of "rustling" and looked up. , It was originally the capital of Gongsunzi.

Although it was late at night, Gongsunzi did not rest. He walked up to Ji Ya, glanced at him, and said in a muffled voice, "Isn't the emperor worried about Qi Taifu? He has clearly arrived in Fanguo, but He insists on stationing in the city, and it's been a while, how can the emperor still take a rest?"

Gongsunzi said indifferently: "The emperor has the reason of the emperor. Although the emperor did not show it, but the emperor is not worried about Qi Taifu if he sacrifices to the little gentleman?"

Ji Ya said to Gongsunzi strangely: "If you don't express it, how can others know?"

After hearing this, Gongsunzi seemed to be in deep thought, staring at Ji Ya and said, "Must...you have to express it?"

It gets dark early in winter in Japan, and today is another cloudy day. After noon, it will be dark and overcast, and it will be gloomy and breathless. When it is approaching midnight, the sky is not only dark, but also sporadic snowflakes... …

Ji Lin was lying on the couch of the post house, and closed his eyes calmly. Indeed, Jingyu was in front of him, but he insisted on stationing the army in Xiaoyi, and did not rush up the mountain. It was not that Ji Lin was not worried about Qi Yu. law.

Ji Lin asked Fan Bo to inquire about Tu He's movements, but Tu He was very strict and did not reveal anything. This meeting is not just for the purpose of meeting, but also to save Taifu Qi. Once he falls into Tu He's trap, Maybe the gain outweighs the loss, so Ji Lin must not make any mistakes.

When the time was approaching, Ji Lin closed his eyes, thinking in his heart, since no one else can inquire, the widow will go inquire in person...

"Aww..." Zishi's beating voice overlapped with the milky bark of the little dog. In the house where the emperor stayed, the little dog suddenly raised its head, looked left and right, and then He lowered his head to look at his paws, making sure that he changed from the appearance of the emperor to the appearance of a little dog.

The little dog got up immediately, staggered to the door of the house, pushed open the door with his small head, got out from inside, and ran away without stopping for a moment, heading towards the gate of Xiaoyi go.

At this time, the city gate was closed, especially Tu Heren was stationed in the nearby Jingyu, and the city gate was strictly guarded, and it was closed when the sun set.

The little dog carefully avoided the guards, got out from the city gate, and ran all the way towards Jingyu mountain forest.

Ji Lin knew Jingyu very well. After all, he was an old acquaintance. Many things happened in Jingyu before. The little local dog ran along the mountain road and heard the sound very quickly.

The little dog hid in the grass, looked over, and saw a bonfire, the flames were soaring into the sky, it was Tu He's camp!

Tu He's soldiers and horses patrolled very closely, which can be said to be strictly guarded against death. The little dog stared at the soldiers for a long time with black eyes, and did not act immediately, but observed on guard. After observing for a while, he discovered these patrols The soldiers, taking advantage of the gap in the middle of the queue, immediately slipped through the patrol encirclement, got into the fence of the camp, and mixed into the camp.

The little dog stuck its back to the camp tent, avoiding the soldiers, and then heard voices coming from inside the tent. The tent the little dog was leaning against happened to be the largest tent in the camp. The gigantic tooth flag proved the status of this tent, it was the shogunate tent in the army.

General Tu He's voice came from the tent, saying, "How is King Zhou going?"

Tu He's counselor said: "Please rest assured, the general. The king of Zhou has already arrived in Xiaoyi, and all the soldiers and horses are stationed in Xiaoyi. It seems that the king of Zhou is afraid of us this time, so he dare not act rashly."

The voice of General Tu He said again: "Okay! Let's investigate again. If there is any trouble in the Zhou people, you must listen carefully. Such a great opportunity to form an alliance must not be missed!"

"Congratulations, general," said the counselor, "the villain will congratulate the general first. If the general can hold King Zhou and give me Tu He a chance to recuperate, if he succeeds, the general's prestige in Tu He will definitely be greatly shaken. At that time, which one of the princes and princes of Tu He can be on the same level as the general? The general will become king himself, just around the corner!"

Hearing this, the little dog narrowed its round dog eyes. It turned out that General Tu He had a lot of ambitions and wanted to establish himself as the king of Tu He.Although King Tu He had been killed by Ji Lin, King Tu He had many sons. These days, Tu He's civil strife has turned into a mess. It turned out that General Tu He was using the excuse of revenge for King Tu He. To establish prestige for oneself, so as to clear away obstacles and become the new king of Tu He.

The little dog rolled its eyeballs, and pulled out a "sinister" smile that didn't quite match its simple-minded appearance, as if it had come up with some idea.

After inquiring, the little dog quietly left the tent of the shogunate with its paws on, and searched for other places. The purpose of his visit this time was to inquire, on the one hand, and Qi Lv on the other.

Fanguo couldn't get any news about Qi Lu, so the little dog had no choice but to go out in person.

The little dog poked his head around to check the situation. One of the tents was very tightly guarded. After observing carefully for a while, the little dog vaguely heard a coughing sound of "cough cough cough" coming from the tent. The sound was very soft, not very loud. reality.

One of the soldiers said, "He won't die of illness?"

"Who knows, the body is so weak, hey, let's not mind our own business, but a prisoner."

Hearing what the two soldiers said, the little dog quickly crawled over. While the two soldiers were talking, without paying attention, they squeezed in from the small gap at the back of the tent, shaking their buttocks and tail vigorously.

Gudong!

The little dog rolled over, because the gap was too small, and the force was too great, so it didn't stop, and rolled into the tent suddenly, with a "boom", as if it had hit something.

The little dog rolled to pieces, the camp was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly. He couldn't see his fingers. The little dog bumped into something soft, and raised his head to take a look...

Qi Lu!

Qi Lu wore shackles around his neck and chains wrapped around his body. He kept coughing, and the tremors of his cough drove the chains on his body, making a soft "squeaky" sound.

Even though the surroundings are dim, the little dog can still see Qi Lu's face is pale, but his cheeks are bright red, his breathing is slightly hot, his whole body is very listless, obviously he has a fever.

The little dog got up immediately, and didn't want to bark too loudly, for fear of attracting the guards outside the door, he shook his little tail excitedly, and barked at Qi Lu's "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Paws, use small paws to pick and pull Qi Lu.

Qi Lu raised his head, opened his eyes, and for a moment met the eyes of the little dirt dog with black and big grapes.

But Qi Lu said without beginning or end: "Ahem... Where did the puppy come from?"

The little dog was taken aback, and blinked his big grape-like eyes. What Qi Lu said made him dumbfounded. What does it mean?Could it be that Taifu Qi meant something?

At this moment, the footsteps of "Tat T T T T" came suddenly, the little dog had no time to think, the soldier outside the door had already said: "General!"

It turned out that the general Tu He had arrived. The little dog should not stay for long, so he quickly squeezed out from the gap in the tent. Just as he went out, the curtain of the tent was slammed up, and then the voice of General Tu He came, saying : "Teacher Qi, it's time to use the soup..."

The little earth dog unknowingly explored the Jingyu mountain forest, and no one knew about it. The night was peaceful and the sky was bright. Ji Lin immediately turned from the little earth dog back into the emperor.

The sky hadn't brightened yet, but there was a busy crowd in the posthouse, and a few people shouted: "Quick! Go, the Son of Heaven will be passed on to General Yu!"

Early in the morning, Yu Yu hurriedly came to the tent where the emperor was staying. As soon as he walked in, he saw the emperor. What.

Just as Yu Yu entered, before he had time to salute, the emperor had already opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, "You Yu, why do you know Tu very well?"

Yu Gongshou said: "Go back to the Son of Heaven, I will understand."

The emperor squinted his eyes, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, that's it, I will entrust you with a military task, the success or failure of this alliance, do you dare to do it?"

You Yu still cupped his hands, and said with clang, "To be loyal to the Son of Heaven, there is nothing a humble general dares to do."

The soldiers and horses of the Son of Heaven have been stationed in Xiaoyi for several days, and there has been no movement, as if they are afraid of Tu He, until the time for the alliance is approaching, and the alliance will be held tomorrow. Go to the mountains and forests.

A group of people entered the mountain forest. Tu He's soldiers and horses had already set up checkpoints in the mountain forest. It was no different from last time. Luo Shi was also not allowed to bring more troops to the mountain. The soldiers and horses of the Son of Heaven and Zheng Guo's soldiers and horses were all left behind. At the foot of the mountain, only a small number of soldiers and horses can follow up the mountain.

Ji Lin and his party came to the camp of Huimeng, and it was exactly the same as that day when the little dog explored it. The camp had not changed.

Everyone entered the seats and sat down. Ji Lin looked around calmly, but did not see Qi Lv, and said, "Now that the widow is already sitting in the table, why haven't you seen Taifu Qi? Since General Tu He wants to To form an alliance, you should first show your sincerity."

"Yes, yes!" General Tu He said: "Look, King Zhou, when I saw King Zhou, I was so happy that I forgot everything. How could such a serious matter be forgotten? Hurry up." Hurry up and invite Qi
