spring and autumn officials

"what?"

Hei Jian was the first to stand up. He seemed to be disregarding etiquette, and stood up abruptly from his seat, looking at the tiger army with a precarious look.

The Huben army repeated: "The Shanrong people say that General Heibei did not die in battle!"

In an instant, the entire shogunate camp was engulfed in uproar...

"The black-backed general is not dead?"

"This is a great thing!"

"Didn't die in battle? How is this possible? I'm afraid the Shanrong people are doing something wrong?"

"Maybe it's the trick of the Shanrong people!"

When Hei Jian heard Huben Jun's words, his eyes shone with crystal-like light, but he soon came to his senses. To put it bluntly, Zhou Gong Hei Jian is such a rational person. I also feel that the words of the Shanrong people are full of loopholes.

Ji Lin frowned and said, "Where is the Shanrong who sent the message?"

Huben Jun said: "Return to Your Majesty, the Shanrong people have been detained and are in the camp."

Ji Lin nodded slightly, and said, "Bring it up, I will interrogate myself."

"Hulahula——" Soon the sound of chains was heard, and it was the Huben army escorting the Shanrong people up.

The Shanrong man entered the tent of the shogunate, was pushed by the Huben army, and "kuang" fell to the ground with his knees bent.

Ji Lin sat firmly on top of the chief, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I ask you, is the story about the black-backed general true?"

"It's true, it's true!" The Shanrong man spoke fluently in the Central Plains, and said, "King Zhou, don't worry, it's important to be true! General Heibei was not killed in battle, and he is on Peiqiu right now, and I have evidence!"

He said, as if he was afraid that others would not believe him, and immediately said: "The evidence is in my arms!"

Ji Lin raised his chin slightly, and Guo Gongji's father immediately stepped forward and touched the Shanrong man's chest. Sure enough, he touched something. …

Emblem!

It is a family coat of arms cast in bronze, well-crafted, and the veins of the family coat of arms are lifelike...

As soon as Guo Gongji's father saw the clan emblem, his eyes snapped open, and then he looked at Duke Zhou Heijian, who also saw the clan emblem, walked over unsteadily, and snatched the bronze one. Rubbing the family emblem in the palm of his hand, he said tremblingly, "Yes... it's his... it's his..."

Heibei is the younger brother of the Duke of Zhou. The surname of the Duke of Zhou is Ji, and the surname of Ji is the big clan of the emperor.In this era, men who have surnames but no family names are most likely because they are not noble enough and have no clans. For example, some ordinary people, or savages who are not even Chinese people, such ordinary people do not have clans.

But there is another possibility. In this era when men call their surnames but not their surnames, there is another kind of people who do not have a surname, and that is the person who stands at the top of the pyramid.

For example, the son of heaven, Ji Lin has no family name.For example, Zhou Gong Heijian, Heijian has no family name.They are all surnamed Ji, that's all.

In fact, it is very simple to say, because in this era, the surname is the big clan group, and the surname is the small clan. The small clans separated from the surname only use the clan to distinguish each other.But those who stand at the top of the pyramid have no small clans, because the whole world is their clans, and they don't need to distinguish small clans.

The black back is a member of Luo Shiji's surname, and the clan emblem brought by the Shanrong people is the Ji surname clan emblem!

Because there are too many nobles with the surname of Ji, the nobles with the surname of Ji in the lineage of Duke Zhou still have some differences in their clan emblems, and they also have "anti-counterfeiting".Anti-counterfeiting has appeared in ancient times, but it is not high-tech anti-counterfeiting such as watermarks, but deliberate damage or defects.

Anyone who has been stubborn about seals knows that many seals of famous artists have been damaged, and the seals stamped after sticking red mud have special gaps. ".

The family emblem on the black back has a special anti-counterfeit protection, and the black shoulders can be seen at a touch, and the emotion suddenly becomes agitated, saying: "Yes... it is really him!"

The Shanrong people said: "Small people dare not lie, it is absolutely true, Zhou people have black backs, and they are on Peiqiu."

Everyone was in an uproar for a moment: "The black-backed general is not dead?"

"Great!"

"God bless the black-backed general!"

Qi Lu frowned slightly, stood up, and when everyone was immersed in joy, he suddenly poured cold water on him and said: "My king, Lu has a question, and I want to ask this Shanrong man face to face."

Ji Lin nodded, and Qi Lu said, "If it is true that General Heibei was not killed in battle, then why did the Shanrong people not use General Heibei as a hostage to threaten our army, but instead took your leader after he was in deep trouble? Isn’t the news about General Heibei putting the cart before the horse? It’s a little too unwise.”

Qi Lv's words were like throwing cold water on everyone, instantly extinguishing everyone's joy, and everyone even heard a bang, and turned into a drowned chicken from beginning to end.

Because what Qi Lu said was so true, if the Shanrong people captured Heibei, it would make no sense not to take Heibei as a hostage in the first place, but to use Heibei to negotiate now.

If the Shanrong people had taken the black back as a hostage at the beginning, then Qi Lv would have been in a difficult situation, he was in a dilemma, and it was impossible to capture the leader of the Shanrong in such a smooth manner.

Fu'er stood in the corner to serve, and when he heard what the Shanrong people said, he didn't care about his status, so he stood up and said, "When I was investigating in Peiqiu, I didn't see the black-backed general."

Fu'er did meticulous work in Peiqiu Mountain, and it can be said that he has made great achievements. This time, the success of the series of tricks is also due to Fu'er's contribution.He had stayed on Peiqiu for a while, and he had never seen General Heibei. Now the Shanrong people suddenly said that Heibei was in their hands.

For a moment, the black-shouldered complexion was full of deep disappointment, and the hand holding the clan emblem trembled slightly. Indeed, the joy just now dazzled his rational heart, and the words of the Shanrong people can be said to be full of flaws!

The Shanrong people hurriedly shouted: "No, no, it's true! Please learn from King Zhou! I didn't tell General Heibei about it before. In fact, he didn't capture General Heibei at that time..."

Ji Lin said "Oh?" and said, "Continue talking."

The Shanrong people said: "At that time, our army did not capture General Heibei, and thought that General Heibei had died in battle. However...not long ago, that is, two days ago, soldiers patrolling Peiqiu brought back a dying Zhou. A soldier, the soldier was wearing a low-level jacket of the Huben Army, so our army didn't pay much attention to it, and then..."

The Shanrong people threw the "soldier" of the Huben army away to guard him, but later found that this soldier had a family emblem on his body, which looked familiar to him.

Isn't this the clan emblem of the nobleman named Luo Shiji?

The Shanrong people immediately interrogated the "little soldier" of the Huben army, but the soldier didn't say anything. In the end, someone in the Shanrong army recognized Heibei, and only then did he know the true identity of Heibei.

The generals of the Shanrong people were arrested, and the dragons had no leader. They suddenly caught the black back who had "resurrected from the dead", and immediately came up with an idea, wanting to exchange their leader with the black back.

Qi Lv was doubtful, but this statement was more credible, but the Shanrong people were always cunning, so they had to guard against it.

The Shanrong people said: "Our army uses the black-backed general to exchange the leader! Please also ask the King of Zhou to move to Peiqiu and join the Chamber of Commerce and Alliance!"

Heibei came back from the dead suddenly, and was caught by the Shanrong people as a prisoner, and Qi Lu and the others held General Shanrong in their hands. This meeting can be regarded as "evenly matched", but it is not the case, after all, at this moment Shanrong has already been defeated, and the loss is clanging, but the Luoshi Huben army is the victor's posture. If the emperor joins the alliance, wouldn't it be too much face for Shanrong?It is said that the majesty of the emperor will be greatly reduced.

Ji Lin ordered the Shanrong people to be escorted first, and said, "What do you think?"

For a while, the officials insisted on their own opinions: "The black-backed general has made great contributions to our army. If he can't rescue the black-backed general, wouldn't it hurt the morale of the army? How can the Huben army work for our Luo division in the future?"

"That being said, the Shanrong people are deceiving too much. Now that the situation has become a reality, it is a shame to ask the emperor to join the alliance?!"

"Furthermore, we haven't seen the black-backed general. Who knows if it's the strategy of the Shanrong people to lure us to Mount Peiqiu and annihilate us in one fell swoop? The terrain of Peiqiu is complicated, and the Shanrong is good at fighting in mountains. We The tiger and cardinal army can't play their strengths in the mountains, and they will be completely passive at that time, won't they be restrained by the mountain army?"

"Shanrong people are fierce, if they don't join the alliance, the black-backed general will be... more than auspicious!"

Hei Jian heard the commotion from the crowd, immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Son of Heaven! Hei Jian took the place of the Son of Heaven and went to Peiqiu!"

If it was the same as in the past, Ji Lin would not hesitate if Hei Jian asked for orders. After all, Hei Jian was brave, resourceful, and thoughtful, but the matter involved today is the matter of Hei Jian's younger brother. Who doesn't know that Hei Jian loves his younger brother, In Qi Lu's words, he is a perfect younger brother. In this matter, Hei Jian may not be able to calm down.

Qi Lu frowned, then stood up and said, "Son of Heaven, please order me."

Don't look at Qi Taifu's foolishness on weekdays, but he has never lost the chain at critical moments. It would be safer if Qi Lu followed Hei Jian, but...

Ji Lin felt a little worried, just as the doctors Qing thought about it, what if it was a trap set by the Shanrong people?

Although Ji Lin is unwilling to let Qi Lv go into danger, Heibei will definitely save him. Not to mention personal friendship, Heibei's delivery of food and grass this time has made a great contribution to the Chinese army. Although the current emperor has grown up, he is definitely not letting go Those who kill donkeys.

On the other hand, Ji Lin also took Qi Lv's thoughts into consideration.Although Qi Lu didn't say anything, but this time when Hei Jian was transporting food and grass, he was attacked on the way back. Qi Lu has always had a pimple in his heart. Now that Qi Lu can personally rescue Hei Bei and come back, it may be a good medicine.

Ji Lin and Qi Lu's eyes met. Although Qi Lu's gaze was very calm, Ji Lin understood him.Ji Lin sighed, seemingly helpless, and then said in a deep voice, "Teacher Qi and Duke Zhou accept the edict."

"The law accepts the imperial edict!"

"The black shoulder accepts the edict!"

Although Ji Lin is young, he is tall and tall, and when he is not smiling, he has a majestic posture. He said: "The widow specially appointed Qi Taifu as the special envoy on behalf of the emperor, and the Duke of Zhou assisted him. He went to Peiqiu to attend the meeting. Be sure to send the black-backed general to the widow. Bring back the whole shadow."

Qi Lu cupped his hands and said, "Lü...will definitely not disgrace her life!"
