spring and autumn officials

The cart covered with plain cloth stopped in front of everyone, and as the voice of Guo Gongji's father fell, the camp became silent in an instant, only the crackling of the campfire remained, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard. arrive.

Duke Zhou Heijian had just come out and was the farthest away from the carriage. His eyes were dull, and he stared at the carriage. He paused for a long time until Heijian almost turned into a stone sculpture, and then slowly walked forward.

His steps were very light, following the sound of "step... step... step...", the shadow of the black shoulders was dragged by the bonfire for a long, long time, and the shadow of the haze moved little by little towards the carriage.

The black of the haze and the white of the plain cloth gradually blend together.

Hei Jian's hands trembled a little, pulling the wide sleeve robe, making a "crash clatter" trembling sound, trembling uncontrollably, as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally grabbed a corner of Subu.

wow-

Hei Jian yanked violently, and Subu was torn off the carriage suddenly, Hei Jian's hand stretched out again, and he lifted the curtain of the car little by little, which was not very heavy, but Hei Jian could only lift it with all his strength.

There was a tall man lying quietly in the carriage. Maybe he had a handsome face in the past, but now he couldn't see clearly.

The man's body was somewhat rotten. Although it is winter now, it has gradually decayed after these days. Moreover, Heibei covered the retreat of the Huben army and disappeared for a long time. Later, the soldiers found Heibei's body. At that time...

At that time, the black-backed corpse was pierced by thousands of arrows, and there were wounds all over the body, including the face. Because of the fall, there were wild beasts haunting the field, and the corpse was gnawed in such a mess that not even a whole corpse remained.

The soldiers still recognized the black-backed Jiezhou, and only then restrained the black-backed body back.

Heibei's corpse has long been in ruins. Although the arrows on the corpse have been pulled out now, the wounds are still there, large and small, almost unsightly.

Hei Jian only glanced at it, his heart trembled suddenly, he didn't say a word at all, suddenly he couldn't catch his breath, and fell to the ground with a "gudong".

"Duke Zhou!?"

"Duke Zhou!"

"Hurry up, Duke Zhou has fainted!"

Guo Gongji's father rushed over and held Hei Jian in his arms, Hei Jian had completely passed out.Heibei's body has never been very strong. When he heard the news of Heibei's death, he had passed out once. Now he saw his younger brother's body. It was so dilapidated that not even a whole body could be left. The excitement was even greater. , Heijian couldn't resist, and passed out again.

The camp became chaotic in an instant, the medical officers clamored to see the Heibei doctor Zhougong, Heibei's body needed to be buried, Guogong Ji's father and the frontline news needed to be reported, and so on, countless things, mixed into one A mess.

Ji Lin listened to Duke Guo Ji's father's report on the battle at the front, and went to see Duke Zhou again. Hei Jian had woken up, but he was in a daze, and his mood was completely unstable. Back to the emperor's camp.

When Ji Lin went back, he saw that Qi Lu was also in a daze. The lights in the tent were dimly flickering, stretching Qi Lu's shadow for a long time.

When Ji Lin walked in, Qi Lu didn't hear it, and was still in a daze, so Ji Lin walked over, touched Qi Lu lightly, and said, "Teacher, what are you thinking?"

Only then did Qi Lu come back to his senses, and said, "Meet the Son of Heaven."

Ji Lin pulled him to sit down, Qi Lu's palms were very cold, much colder than Ji Lin's palms when they walked around outside.The Son of Heaven held Qi Lu's hands in his big palms, held them up and let out a light breath, and cherished that movement very much.

Qi Lu sighed and said, "Son of Heaven, is Lu really wrong?"

Ji Lin said, "What's wrong?"

Qi Lu said: "Shouldn't Lu recommend Heibei to deliver grain and grass?"

Ji Lin said: "Teacher thinks this is the fault of Taifu?"

Qi Lu said lightly: "If Lu hadn't recommended Hei Bei to transport grain and grass, General Hei Bei must be safe and sound now."

Ji Lin held Qi Lu's hand tightly, and said, "If you don't recommend Hei Bei to transport grain and grass, will Hei Bei not go? After spending time together, you also understand what kind of person Hei Bei is. He is the most Admitting to death, what you decide, even the emperor, the widow, will never change..."

Heibei is indeed such a person. From the time he put Qi Lu, Gongsun Wuzhi and others in prison, he knows that Heibei is not afraid of anything, and he is so strict in his actions that he can't even pull back nine bulls.

Ji Lin said again: "Even if you don't recommend Heibei, Heibei will find other people to recommend him, maybe he will come directly to the widow, or maybe he will go to the Duke of Zhou... Besides, it is not the Taifu who is wrong, nor is it the recommendation. Anyone who transports food and grass with a black back is Shan Rong."

The team's itinerary was delayed because Zhou Gong Heijian was seriously ill and saw his younger brother's dead body with his own eyes, which was unacceptable to anyone.Duke Zhou was seriously ill, and has been lingering on the sick bed for about two days. He couldn't stay there for about two days, let alone travel, or be the commander of the Chinese army, so the schedule of the march was slightly delayed for a few days.

Qi Lu made some nourishing soup, and was going to visit Duke Zhou Heijian.When he came to the camp, he found that Hei Jian had actually slept on the couch, and he was walking outside the tent. Hei Jian was wearing a plain toga, and his whole body was much thinner. His usually sharp and clear eyes, now The moment is full of chaos.

"Duke Zhou." Qi Lu walked over.

When Hei Jian saw Qi Lu, his eyes were very cold, his voice was very weak, and his tone was neither cold nor calm, he said: "What kind of wind is it that brings the busy Mr. Qi over here?"

"That's right," Ruo said that Hei Jian's taste was a bit lukewarm just now, but now Hei Jian's tone is that of a gun and a stick, and said with a faint smile, "I'm afraid it wasn't Taifu Qi who only killed Hei Jian. Brother, I really don't want to be reconciled in my heart, and I even want to kill Hei Jian all together, so it's over?"

After hearing Hei Jian's words, Qi Lu was silent for a while, followed by Qi Lu, who was holding the food, trembled and raised his head.

Fu'er seldom speaks on weekdays. He is a very calculating person. He knows who to please and who to curry favor with. Even though he is young, he has a deep scheming heart. Otherwise, Prince Zhu'er of Qi Kingdom would not let him Chi'er came to do fine eyeliner.

When Fu'er heard what Heijian said, his complexion changed instantly, and he retorted: "Duke Zhou also knew in his heart that the general's death in battle was not the fault of the Taifu. Now that the enemy is at hand, why should Duke Zhou take his anger out on the Taifu, and can't tell the difference?" What about the enemy?"

"Fu'er." Qi Lu gave Fu'er a hand, telling him not to say more.

Heijian listened, and laughed, his face was pale, and he was a little out of breath when he laughed, and when he laughed, he frowned, his eyebrows raised angrily, and his expression was extremely weird.

Hei Jian said coldly: "It was he who killed Hei Bei, why can't I blame him? If he hadn't insisted on recommending Hei Bei to deliver grain and grass, how could Hei Bei be killed in battle without even leaving a whole body?! And you, Xi Zuo from Qi, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking all day, when the black back was still there, you flattered and flattered you, wishing you could climb up on the black back’s couch and recommend yourself as a pillow, now that the black back is gone, Then you moved to other high branches in a wolf-hearted way, didn't you?"

Fu'er was trembling all over when he said it, and his teeth made a "dedede" clashing sound, but he couldn't say a word.

As soon as Hei Jian's words came out, the anger and sadness in his chest could no longer be concealed, as if too many words gushed out like a flood, bursting a bank.He strode forward, "Boom!" He overturned the soup that Qi Lu made himself.

"Crack!!" The hot soup spilled all over the floor and onto the corner of Qi Lu's robe. If Qi Lu hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been scalded by the hot soup by now.

Hei Jian said coldly: "Hei Back is dead, there is no need for you to pretend to be kind!"

There was a lot of movement here, and Guo Gongji's father led troops on patrol. When he heard the movement, he rushed over and quickly stopped the angry Hei Jian, saying, "Duke Zhou, please calm down!"

"What?" Heijian saw Guo Gongji's father stopping him, sneered, and said, "You want to help him talk too? Yes, I almost forgot, Guo Gong and Taifu Qi walked away on weekdays." The closest thing is, in Guo Gong’s heart, how can Heijian be on the same level as Qi Taifu? It’s not his fault, yes, it’s all my fault, it’s all Heijian’s fault! My brother is dead , it's all my fault! Are you satisfied now?!"

Zhou Gong Hei Jian's words became more and more unreasonable, but the more he said, the more sorrowful people felt, feeling as if they were being torn apart.

"Duke Zhou..." Father Ji of Guo Gong stopped Hei Jian and said, "Father Ji helps Duke Zhou return to his tent and rest."

Hei Jian didn't speak, but stared at Qi Lv with anger and vicious eyes, like a poisonous snake, and became more and more ruthless, as if he was looking for an outlet to vent, he was supported by Guo Gongji's father Walking to the tent, when passing by Qi Lu, he suddenly raised his hand without warning, and slapped Qi Lu fiercely, as if he wanted to slap Qi Lu in the face.

"Snapped!"

Hei Jian hit him, but failed to hit Qi Lv. Guo Gong reacted quickly, grabbed Hei Jian's raised hand, and stopped him abruptly.

When Hei Jian saw him blocking him, his anger seemed to be fueled instantly, and he shouted angrily: "Why stop me!? Let me go!"

Guo Gong held Hei Jian's arm to prevent him from moving, and said: "Duke Zhou, what are you doing?! As the commander of the Chinese army, Duke Zhou is at odds with the Tai Tuo. If this news spreads, won't it encourage Shan Rong Human arrogance?!"

Heijian didn't pay attention to these things, and said angrily: "Let go of me! If you don't let go today, the relationship between you and me will be severed from now on, and there will be no relationship at all!"

Guo Gong listened to his words, his heart trembled, the strength of his arms almost loosened, and he almost couldn't hold the angry Heishao. He closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, he still hugged Heishao firmly, not letting him do anything. .

Hei Jian smiled coldly, and said: "Okay! You are all very well, I understand, Hei Jian understood it today..."

"enough!"

Heijian roared wildly, as if he had lost his mind, at this moment, a sudden stern sound came, scaring the crowd who were hiding in the dark and watching the fun quickly dispersed, and saw a tall man, Wearing a royal robe, he walked over with a serious expression on his face.If it wasn't Ji Lin, the son of today, who else could it be?

"Report--!"

"General! Great news!"

The Shanrong soldiers rushed into the camp, and they were in a hurry, and said happily: "As expected by the general, Zhou Gong Heijian, the commander of the Zhou people's Chinese army, quarreled with their Tai Tuo, and the quarrel was very serious. It was rumored in the entire Zhou army. It's over and over again, morale is low, and it's impossible to march!"

General Shanrong laughed and said: "Good! Very good, it seems that we don't need to provoke at all, the Zhou people have already messed up! Go, check again!"
