spring and autumn officials

, but those who are familiar with Zheng Boxusheng know that the head temper is not a good one. It is precisely because of this violent temper that he develops severe head problems.

Zheng Boxu was so angry that his headache was about to split, and he shook it. Ji Zhong hurriedly supported him, and said, "My son, I, Zheng Guo, are loyal and never dare to do such a treasonous thing. The emperor is wise, and I ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly."

Qi Lu didn't speak all the time, sat on the table, rolled his eyes, and stared at the assassin's face for a long time, Qi Lu found that when he talked about Zheng Guo, he clearly said all the words to share the worries of the monarch, But the eyes are not the same.

The assassin looked at Zheng Bo with cruel intent, as if he had some blood feud with Zheng Bo.

Caihou stood up at this time and said, "You bold assassin, you actually framed Duke Zheng? Who doesn't know that Duke Zheng is favored by the Son of Heaven now? Although the Son of Heaven trusts the Grand Tutor, he also trusts Duke Zheng. Duke Zheng is a model for us princes to learn from. It’s really hateful that you speak so much nonsense! It’s infuriating!”

The assassin was still very calm, and said in a straightforward manner: "Every word of the villain's words is true. Because the king resents the emperor for wanting to cut off his title of official, so he preemptively strikes."

"It's nonsense!" Zheng Bozheng had a severe headache, but he couldn't tolerate him being framed like this, and his face turned blue with anger.

Qi Lu squinted his eyes, and suddenly said: "Son of Heaven, it is actually very easy to know whether the assassin's words are true."

Ji Lin didn't speak for a while, and his face was very gloomy. When Qi Lu spoke, his face changed instantly, and he said kindly: "Oh? The Taifu has a way, so let the Taifu talk about it."

Qi Lu wanted to stand up from his seat, but he felt dizzy as soon as he moved, and he shook a little. It was really not Qi Lu's affectation. As a modern person, he passed out after being hit on the back of the head. There will be some sequelae, and the IQ is probably going to be lower.

As soon as he shook, the emperor wished he could rush over from the seat immediately, and quickly said: "Teacher doesn't need to stand up, just sit down."

Although it is not popular to kneel these days, and senior officials always sit when they go to court, they still have to come out when they speak. Ji Lin let Qi Lu sit and talk, which is obviously a great favor to Qi Lu. In his eyes, he was jealous in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word.

Qi Lu arched his hands and said, "Thank you, Son of Heaven, Lu."

After he thanked him respectfully, he smiled faintly. Now that Qi Lu was injured, his face was still very pale. In terms of it, his face was really similar to that of Young Master Feng.His son Feng was tall anyway, but Qi Lu didn't even touch his tall side, and his pale face made him look very weak.

But with such a weak smile on Qi Lu's face, everyone felt a tingling coolness, simply put—bad intentions.

Qi Lu said inscrutablely: "Son, what the assassin said was that he was instigated by Zheng Gong to hijack Lu, but Zheng Gong denied that he had ordered the assassin, and insisted on both sides. It really makes people unable to tell right from wrong. But it doesn't matter. I dare to ask the emperor, the three monarchs, and the officials present here, have you ever heard of... spit out true water? .”

"Spit real water?"

"what is that?"

"Unheard of..."

The scholar-bureaucrats began to discuss in low voices, not to mention the scholar-officials, even the three well-informed monarchs had never heard of what is called "spitting true water".

Song Guo, Zheng Guo, and Cai Guo are all powerful and small powers. They have extensive knowledge and are not ignorant people, but they greet assassins and use criminal law to interrogate prisoners. They have never heard of spitting true water.

Seeing Qi Lu's smiling expression, Ji Lin knew that he was sure of everything, so he responded to Qi Lu with a light smile and said, "Teacher, what is this real water?"

Qi Lu cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the Son of Heaven, this vomit water is condensed with special medicinal materials. As long as you let the assassin drink it, no matter how strict the assassin's mouth is or how hard the mouth is, the assassin will not be able to control it." My own mouth can spit out all the words in my heart, so it is called "True Spitting Water."

When everyone heard it, they were all in an uproar, not knowing what kind of theory this truth-telling is.Many people will tell the truth when they are drunk, but there are also many people who drink a lot and taste very good, so they will not tell the truth after they are drunk, and the regulations are still clear.According to Qi Taifu's meaning, this true water is so miraculous that it can make everyone tell the truth.

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Is there really such a miraculous water in the world?"

When Song Gong, Yi and Zheng Bosheng heard this, they both heaved a sigh of relief. If there is such a thing as spitting out real water, Song Gong and Zheng Bo didn't do anything, at least they are innocent in this matter. Yes, the suspicion can be cleared away, so both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

But Cai Houcuo's father breathed a sigh of relief, his heart beat violently, and he stared at Qi Lu with probing eyes, as if he wanted to know whether Qi Lu's vomit of real water was true, after all, this kind of magical water was unheard of Maybe it's just the "weirdness" that Qi Lu came up with in order to deceive the assassin.

Cai Houcuo's father calmed down, and said with a look of surprise: "Yes, Taifu Qi, is there really such a miraculous water in the world? It's... really a miracle!"

Qi Lu was smiling, with a sincere face, although Qi Lu usually did not do "sneaky" things, but he was just deceiving, Taifu Qi was still sly, at this moment his face was sincere, and said: "The Son of Heaven , the three monarchs and all the high officials, you don’t know, you are all from famous families, with prominent identities, but Lu... Sigh."

Qi Lu sighed intentionally, and said with self-pity: "To tell you the truth, Lu's status is humble. He was originally a petty official. Before he became a rich man, he also did a lot of work to make a living. It's all to earn a living, isn't it? Lu has been to Baipu in the south, and the people of Baipu have a kind of witchcraft, which is to spit out real water!"

What Qi Lu said was decent, and he even believed it himself.Bai Pu refers to the Pu people near the state of Chu. Because the Pu people are intricate and have complicated relationships, they are called Bai Pu in the Central Plains. The famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also suffered from fighting against the Pu people. .

Baipu is far away from the Central Plains, closer to the border than Chu, and the transportation was really inconvenient at that time. Baipu was very unfamiliar to the countries in the Central Plains. Living in "legends", people always like to give themselves unfamiliar things. Inventing some special colors, especially in ancient times, so Qi Lu deliberately mentioned the witchcraft of the Pu people, and also said that vomiting water is a kind of witchcraft. Likes for wit.

As Qi Lv spoke with great assurance, everyone was fascinated by what he heard, and Cai Houcuo's father gave a "thump" in his heart. Could it be that there is such a truth?If there is such a thing, even if the assassin is unwilling to tell the truth and wants to frame Zheng Guo, if he eats the truth, then everything will be over?

Cai Houcuo's father was in cold sweat on his back. Once the assassin recognized Cai Guo, Cai Guo offended Song Gong again, this time he brought Zheng Guo along with him, and kidnapped the emperor's favorite minister, Tai Tuo. Offended everyone present?

Cai Hou was trembling in his heart, trying to maintain a calm face, still testing Qi Lv, saying: "Such miraculous water, I don't know if the Grand Tutor has it in his hand? If there is, take it out, let me see it."

Qi Lu smiled and said: "It really makes you talk, Mr. Cai, there is a bottle of vomit water here in Lu."

Ji Lin listened to Qi Lu's words, the more mysterious they became, spit out real water?He didn't believe it, especially when he saw Qi Lu's smirk, he guessed that Qi Lu had thought of some way to punish people.The Son of Heaven trusted Qi Lv very much. After all, they had overcome so many hurdles together. Although Ji Lin had not been on the throne for long, the troubles they encountered were no less than those encountered by any old monarch.

Ji Lin then said: "In that case, please ask the Taifu to take out this miraculous water, so as to return Zheng Gong's innocence."

"This..." Qi Lu hesitated a little.

Seeing Qi Lu's hesitation, Zheng Bowusheng began to think in his heart. He was a suspicious person, but now he had to think more, because he was afraid that such a miraculous serum would be too expensive, so Qi Lu didn't want to give it to himself, an irrelevant person. use.

Zheng Bo Wusheng immediately stood up and said to Qi Lu: "If Taifu Qi really has this kind of real water, Wusheng can't be ashamed to ask Taifu Qi for it. Wusheng can give money, and Taifu just asks for it. .”

Qi Lu rubbed his palms, smiled, and said, "How dare you make Zheng Gong spend money on this."

Although he said he was embarrassed, he put on a greedy smile on his face. Zheng Bowu saw that he was a sensible person. Although the country is not big, there are still money, if we can catch this villain who framed Wu Sheng, what is the money?"

Qi Lu smiled "hehe", he actually wanted to sit on the ground and ask for prices, who didn't know that Zheng Guo was rich?But money always has a number, so a greedy person like Qi Lu naturally doesn't want money, but...

Qi Lu smiled and said: "Hey, Lu was born in the State of Zheng. Fortunately, he was not abandoned by the priest and was accepted as a rich man. Now that the State of Zheng is facing a catastrophe, Lu naturally needs to help. Talking about money hurts feelings? Lu thinks it is not talking about money. Laity for money..."

When Mr. Zheng Bowei heard it, he didn't want to talk about money?Don't want coins?

For the wealthy Zheng Guo, things that can be settled with money are nothing. Now Qi Lu doesn't want money, which shows that Qi Lu's request is more greedy than money.

Sure enough, I heard Qi Lu say: "Lu only needs Zheng Gong's favor, a gentleman's agreement, and verbal favor."

What gentleman's agreement?What verbal favor?

Song Gong and Cai Hou also talked about the gentleman's agreement, but only the two of them were present at the time, so Cai Hou turned his face when he said that he turned his face, and Song Gong smashed his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.And now?There are so many people present, from the emperor to the scholar-bureaucrats, not only that, but also Zheng Guo's deadly rivals Cai Guo and Song Guo, so many eyes watching, in this case, the gentleman agreed to make an alliance More useful.

As the country grows bigger, it pays more attention to that layer of face. The Spring and Autumn Period is still an era that pays attention to etiquette. If this is the Warring States period hundreds of years later, maybe today’s agreement may be reversed tomorrow, but unfortunately, this is the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period , There are still hundreds of years before the Warring States Period.

Qi Lv was sure of this, so he planned to rip Zheng Bo off once. If he didn't take advantage of the fire and rob him now, there would be no such shop in this village!

Zheng Boweisheng's eyelids twitched, his heart was like a bright mirror, of course he understood Qi Lu's meaning, Qi Lushi opened his mouth and asked himself to promise him a favor, but Zheng Boweisheng has nothing to do right now.

He had never suffered at the hands of others, but today he fell into Qi Lu's hands.But letting Qi Lu take advantage of it is better than being stabbed in the back. After weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Bo said: "Okay, Taifu Qi, Wusheng has accepted Taifu Qi's favor, and if it is useful in the future, I will get it The place where he was born, Taifu Qi just needs to open his mouth!"

Qi Lv smiled, taking advantage of Zheng Bo is different, his headache has improved a lot, he cupped his hands and said: "Then Lv will accept it, thank you Zheng Gong."

Ji Lin kept looking at Qi Lu taking advantage of it with a smile, his eyes were not gentle, ever since Ji Lin discovered his feelings, he felt more and more that the Tai Tuo was inexplicably cute in everything he did, even bullying others. .

Qi Lv took advantage, and when he turned his head, he suddenly felt the emperor's "numb and sticky" eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. The emperor's eyes seemed to have eaten something unclean...

Qi Lu coughed and said, "Son of Heaven, this real water is in the camp now, just send someone to fetch it."

"Oh?" Ji Lin murmured, and said with a smile, "So cheap? Well, I'll send it to pick it up. Does the Tai Tuo have a designation?"

Qi Lu's eyes turned to everyone, and then he waved to the people next to him. Young Master Feng was sitting behind Qi Lu, and suddenly saw Qi Lu waving to him, he immediately waved his hands to the emperor, and then walked over.

Qi Lu still waved at him, as if about to whisper something, Young Master Feng immediately knelt down, leaned on one knee and came to Qi Lu's side, and listened to him.

Young Master Feng's appearance is not low, Qi Lu also praised him as a handsome man, and he had eaten the small stove opened by Qi Lu himself a few days ago, although it was just a bowl of noodles in clear soup, the emperor was full of taste.

At that time, Ji Lin didn't understand his feelings very well, but now he fully understands, and it's even more delicious. Seeing Young Master Feng attached to Qi Lu, Qi Lu moved closer to Young Master Feng, raised his hand to support his shoulder , leaned slightly to Young Master Feng's ear, and said something with a smile, and when he was talking about being energetic, he stretched out his hand and gestured twice. The more Ji Lin looked at it, the more he tasted it. He jumped up and bit people.

Song Gong and Yi were sitting in the class, and he was next to him. Song Guo's class was very close to Qi Lu. Seeing how close the young master Feng and Qi Lu were, he squinted his eyes and wanted to go over and listen. After all, such things as vomiting real water sound very mysterious, and it doesn't seem to be true, but what Taifu Qi said makes sense.

Song Gong and Yi moved a little closer, but Young Master Feng was very close and alert, and immediately glanced at Song Gong and Yi, Song Gong had no choice but to sit back, staring coldly at Young Master Feng's back, squinting his eyes, feeling a little displeased. Excuse me, what kind of character is this Qi Lu, who can take Feng Du, the son who is like a wild wolf, away?Judging by Young Master Feng's attitude towards Qi Lu, it seems to be the same thing.

Is it possible...

Song Gong and Yi squinted their eyes, could it be that not only the Son of Heaven, but even the son Feng was also fascinated by Qi Lu?

Ji Lin took two deep breaths, and just when he was jealous, Young Master Feng finally stood up straight, cupped his hands and said, "Son of Heaven, everyone, excuse Feng's impoliteness, I'll take my leave first, I'll go get the real water now." .”

Young Master Feng strode out of the tent of the shogunate, and quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Cai Houcuo's father saw his son Feng leaving, and he also wanted to leave to see the Tuzhen Water, follow the vines, and it would be best to prevent the Tuzhen Water from appearing in the world, but he couldn't find this opportunity.Ji Lin refused to let everyone leave, and said, "Please everyone, I'll wait here."

Young Master Feng left for a short while, and soon came back, dressed in plain robes, moving like the wind, striding in from outside the tent of the shogunate, with an extra delicate bottle in his hand.

He walked in, bowed to the ground, and said, "Son of Heaven, the water for vomit truth has been brought."

When everyone heard what he said, they immediately stretched their heads and looked forward, wanting to see what the true spit water is, it is so miraculous, is it really witch water?

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Teacher, since the real water has been brought, I will tell you how to use it."

Qi Lu said respectfully, "Yes, Son of Heaven."

After he finished speaking, he took the real water from Young Master Feng, his movements were very careful, and he looked like a baby, and he was still chanting: "Be careful, it's just such a bottle, don't break it, break it! No matter how hard it is to find, this true spit water is far away in the land of Baipu, and it is difficult for Pu people to find such precious spit true water, only the most advanced witches can cultivate the divine water."

Qi Lv successfully aroused everyone's curiosity, and then said: "Son, although the effect of this truth-telling water is amazing, it has a drawback, that is, the onset is very slow. Drinking ordinary syrup is generally the same, there is no special reaction, at most I just feel numbness in the tongue, that is the power of witch water. And once this liar uses the truth water, he will sneeze and cough, and the truth water will attack It will take a full night, and in the morning of the second day, the interrogation can only be carried out after the vomit water is fully developed. In this way, no matter what the emperor wants to ask, those who have drunk this water will only know what to say, and there is no end to it! "

What Qi Lu said was so evil, everyone was a little surprised when they heard it, they didn't expect that the water was really so magical.

Qi Lu saw that everyone's faces were bright, but most of them were holding a wait-and-see attitude, so he said: "If you don't believe me, this truth-telling water is just enough for two people. In addition to drinking it for the assassin, one person can drink it. The person who tested the water?"

Everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, who hasn't told any lies in this life?If I drank the true water, what should I do if I lost my manners in front of the emperor?

Qi Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Cai, do you want to drink?"

Cai Houcuo's father waved his hands again and again, and said: "This... this old man is getting old, I don't know if I can stand the truth, or... I'd better ask the Tai Tuo to ask someone else to be wise."

Everyone talked about it, and Ji Lin was very pleased with Qi Lu's obstinacy, so he said: "Everyone, is there anyone who is willing to test the water with himself?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't believe in the power of vomiting true water, and they didn't dare to test the water with their own bodies. Finally, they heard "Tianzi, try it with Yiyuan!"

Young Master Feng was taken aback, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Song Gong and Yi had stood up from their seats, standing tall with hands folded.

Song Gong and Yi had a sneer on their faces, and said: "Everyone dare not test the water with their own bodies, that's just right, and Yi suffered unfair injustice, and was almost wronged to be the person who held the grand tutor. I really feel unfair." Very much, I would like to test the waters myself.”

Qi Lu glanced at Ji Lin, and Ji Lin nodded and said, "Okay, since Duke Song is so courageous and insightful, then the Grand Tutor will honor Duke Song's loyalty."

Immediately, an eunuch held two wine glasses and ear cups, and Qi Lu immediately poured out the truth-telling water in the bottle, half of one ear cup, and said to Song Gong and Yi: "Song Gong, before drinking the water, Lu dared to ask questions. "

Song Gong and Yi narrowed their eyes and said, "Teacher, just ask."

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Mr. Song ordered assassins to hijack Yu Lu's chief envoy?"

Song Gong and Yi stood tall. Although he was not tall, his waist was quite thin. He was dressed in a black robe of a monarch, with a four-finger wide jade belt on his waist. Standing in the big tent of the shogunate, his face did not change at all, and he was full of confidence. , Zhengse said: "Yuyi never ordered anyone to murder Taifu Qi."

"Okay!" Qi Lu held up the wine glass and earcups himself, and said with a smile, "Lu respects Duke Song."

Song Gong and Yi took the wine glass earcup, and under the attention of everyone, they took a deep breath, held their breath, raised their heads suddenly, and swallowed the serum in the wine glass ear glass.

After spitting out the real water, Song Gong took a deep breath, "Hiss..." His lips were slightly parted, his teeth bit the tip of his tongue lightly, and he kept sucking in air.

Everyone was staring at Song Gong and Yi's expressions. There was no sound in the shogunate tent for a while. After waiting for a long time, they didn't hear Yu Yi's coughing and sneezing. Apart from the slightly "scaring" expression, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. OK.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Dare to ask Song Gong, what does it feel like to spit out real water?"

Song Gong and Yi held their breath, swallowed and said: "This... this taste is very weird. You Yi has never tried such a weird taste, and I feel very numb."

Everyone was startled, the Tai Tuo's words were true, the truth was revealed, and the mouth and tongue of those who did not lie were paralyzed, but it really had such a miraculous effect.

Ji Lin smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Duke Song is loyal, and indeed he did not harm the Grand Tutor."

Song Gong and Yi endured the feeling of numbness in their mouths, cupped their hands and said: "The Son of Heaven is wise!"

Seeing this scene, Cai Houcuo's father became more and more terrified. Yu Yi drank the spitting water, and his lips and tongue were really numb. His appearance should not be in collusion with Qi Lv. Isn't it true that spitting out the real water?

In this way, as long as the assassin drinks the true water, he will be in danger!

Qi Lu said: "It's so good, the next step is the assassin."

Qi Lu said to the assassin again: "Lü will ask you again, who is the person who ordered you to kidnap Lu? But Zheng Gong?"

The assassin also saw the power of spitting real water with his own eyes, and he was a little frightened, but he bit his bullet and insisted, saying: "The villain is from Zheng Guo, and he only obeys the orders of the king, and the one who makes the villain kidnap the grand tutor is Zheng Guo." The king of the country!"

Qi Lu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, since you won't change your mind, let him drink water."

Immediately, some Huben soldiers stepped forward and suppressed the assassin, while the other Huben soldiers raised the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.The assassin resisted very much, as if he was also afraid of telling the truth, so he shook his head vigorously, spilled most of the truth-telling water, but was forced to drink some.

"cough!!!"

"Ah-"

"Cough—cough cough cough—"

"Ah! Ahh!"

Not long after drinking the real water, the assassin actually coughed, coughing and sneezing again, and everyone was in an uproar.

"Is there really such a thing?"

"It's really a god! The truth-vomiting water is really a god!"

"This water is miraculous! What this assassin said is a lie! Your words are really hateful!"

Ji Lin was a little shocked, and looked at Qi Lu curiously, not knowing how he did such a magical thing in full view, he was even more powerful than a witch.

Qi Lu is not a sorcerer, he is in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he is not from another world. Qi Lu has no sorcery or supernatural powers at all. In fact, it is quite simple to spit out truth.

Just now when Qi Lu asked Young Master Feng to go out, it was the ready-made spitting water, so Qi Lu asked Young Master Feng to go to the dining room, grab a handful of prickly ash powder and dissolve it in water.

The reason why Qi Lu escaped from the assassin a few days ago was because of pepper powder. The assassin is allergic to pepper, and he may not even know it.After all, in this day and age, Sichuan pepper is a precious thing. If Qi Lu is not the master, he can't afford so much pepper. Many ancient people have never eaten pepper in their lives, let alone allergic to pepper.

The Assassin is allergic to peppercorns. After drinking the peppercorn water, he sneezes and coughs naturally, almost tears, and it takes a while, but Song Gong and Yi are not allergic to peppercorns. He has only eaten the taste of peppercorns, but he must not drink the peppercorn water However, after drinking it, I feel that the taste is very weird. Will my lips not feel numb after drinking a cup of pepper water?The numb tongue is jumping!

Qi Lu used some prickly ash powder to deceive a lot of smart people, even the emperor was frightened by him, and Zheng Bowu owed him a favor because of a handful of prickly ash powder. This handful of prickly ash is really precious.

The assassin couldn't stop sneezing, runny nose and coughing, causing Cai Houcuo's father to turn pale for a moment, cold sweat rolled down his robe, and his back was wet in a daze.

Everyone was amazed, but Qi Lu smiled and said: "Everyone, listen to Lu Yi's words."

After he said this, everyone fell silent, and the shogunate camp became quiet again, only the sound of the assassin sneezing and coughing remained.

Qi Lu said: "Everyone, although this spit of real water is powerful, it has a drawback, that is, the attack is too slow. The assassin told a lie, so he had to sneeze and cough for a while. It is better to put the assassin in prison for a while, so that he can take care of him and wait." Tomorrow morning, everyone will interrogate the assassin again. At that time, even a dead man with a hard bone will speak honestly! Unless it is a dead person, Lu will have full confidence in asking the person who is the mastermind of this thief .”

Unless it's...the dead.

This sentence simply awakened the dreamer!

Cai Houcuo's father calmed down and calmed himself down. There was nothing wrong with vomiting true water for another night. If the assassin died that night, there would be no evidence of his death, so he would not confess himself.

Cai Houcuo's father seemed to be reminded by Qi Lv, he squinted his eyes, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Ji Lin said, "Okay, since that's the case, Duke Guo."

Guo Gongji's father immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Ji's father is here!"

Ji Lin said: "Today, I will trouble Duke Guo to send people to guard the thieves. Don't make any mistakes."

"Jifu respects his promise!" Duke Guo immediately agreed.

Qi Lv was fussing for a while, to be honest, his head was a little dizzy and aching, and his complexion was not very good.Ji Lin saw it, and said: "Since the truth-vomiting can only happen tomorrow, everyone should leave today, and the interrogation will be held in the shogunate tomorrow morning."

"The Son of Heaven is wise!" Everyone immediately knelt down and bowed. Amidst the sound of Shan Hu's prostration, Ji Lin stood up from the seat of the Son of Heaven, but instead of leaving immediately, he walked up to Qi Lu and stretched out his hand to help Qi Lu up.

Qi Lu could feel that although all the people bowed to the ground, they all glanced at the emperor's movements from the corner of their eyes, so when the emperor helped Qi Lu to get up, Qi Lu was also watched by the crowd, and was tied into a hornet's nest for the second time ...

Qi Lu had a bit of a headache, no, to be precise, his head hurt even more, but Ji Lin didn't care, he helped Qi Lu get up in his own way, and carefully helped him out of the shogunate tent.

As soon as he came out, Ji Lin said: "Teacher, but the wound hurts again? I see you look bad."

Qi Lu cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Thank you, Son of Heaven, for your compassion, it's just a little... ah!"

He hadn't finished speaking yet, and wanted to be polite with the emperor, but the emperor suddenly hugged Qi Lu horizontally, so frightened that Qi Lu immediately grabbed the emperor's neck, for fear of letting himself out.

Ji Lin said anxiously: "Teacher is not feeling well, so he should tell immediately...quickly, go tell the medical officer!"

Ji Lin hugged Qi Lu and strode all the way back to the emperor's tent. The eunuch ran quickly to find the medical officer. Qi Lu was a little dumbfounded and didn't understand what happened. On the soft couch.

Qi Lv wanted to get up. He was unconscious before, so he slept on the emperor's "dragon bed". It's good to rest in the tent..."

"No." Ji Lin supported Qi Lu and prevented him from getting up. Although his movements were not rude, he pushed him back on the couch with a strong attitude, covered him with a quilt, and said, "I didn't look at you for a moment. Then he was taken captive and wounded like this, the Taifu rested his wounds under the widow's eyes with peace of mind, and if the injury got worse, he was not allowed to leave the widow's tent for a day, as for the Taifu's own tent..."

Ji Lin spoke eloquently, saying: "Yangyang Jian has done a great job in protecting the Lord, so it is right that the Taifu's tent should be given over to General Yangjian to support his health."

Qi Lu: "..." What's going on?

Qi Lu can't go back to his camp, and will sleep on the dragon bed for the next few days?Where did the god sleep?This is not the sleeping palace. Although the emperor's camp is luxurious, the tents are all temporary. Where there are so many bedrooms, there is only one soft couch.

Is it...

Do you want to share the same bed with the emperor?

Qi Lu shook his head, quickly drove out his strange thinking, and said, "Son of Heaven, now that Lu's trap has been set, please pay attention to it and prepare to collect the net."

Just now Ji Lin was almost taken aback by Qi Lu's vomit water, but how can there be such a miraculous thing in the world?At least according to the current science and technology, it is impossible to make vomit water. Qi Lu told Ji Lin about the pepper water.

Ji Lin couldn't help laughing, and said: "I know that the Taifu is so naughty, and it is thanks to the Taifu's resourcefulness."

Qi Lu said very "modestly": "It is also thanks to Song Gong's full cooperation."

Song Gong was drinking pepper water with a full expression. If it weren't for Song Gong's lively acting skills, everyone would not have believed Qi Lu's nonsense.

Qi Lv said again: "The person who instructed him must be in the camp. Now that he hears about spitting out real water, he must not be able to sit still. Tonight, he will definitely take advantage of the last chance to kill people and silence him. Please help me Arrange manpower to catch a turtle in an urn!"

Ji Lin nodded and said: "That's right, the Grand Tutor thought so carefully, the envoy would naturally not be able to escape from the Grand Tutor's palm, now it's easy to rest, come, lie down quickly."

Qi Lv fought wits and bravery in the shogunate just now, although it was a bad idea, but he was really tired, so he lay down obediently, closed his eyes and rested for a while.

As soon as he rested, he unexpectedly fell asleep. After all, he was still weak. When Qi Lu opened his eyes again, the sky was a little dark, and the sun was already westward. On one side, Ji Lin was nowhere to be seen.

When Qi Lu made a slight movement, the eunuch immediately came up to meet him and said, "Don't get up, the grand tutor. The emperor has been guarding the grand tutor just now. Don't ask the grand tutor to get up and get tired."

Ji Lin kept guarding Qi Lv all the time, but didn't wake him up because he saw him sleeping soundly. Father Ji, the Duke of Guo, came to report the situation of guarding the assassin. Ji Lin was afraid of disturbing Qi Lv's rest, so he brought Guo The prince went to the shogunate to discuss matters.

When Qi Lu woke up, he was a little hungry. He had a head injury before and was very dizzy, so he didn't want to eat. Now that he slept, he felt that most of his strength had returned, and he felt more and more hungry.

Ji Lin had already ordered the meal and kept it on the fire to keep it warm. Fearing that Qi Lu would be hungry, the eunuch immediately went to serve the meal.Although there was nothing delicious, none of which was as delicious as what Qi Lu made himself, but now he was so hungry that Qi Lu ate all the light and soft meals while thinking about hot pot, barbecue, and fried skewers .

After Kankan finished eating, he heard a sound of "哗啦——" and the curtains were opened. At first, Qi Lu thought that the emperor had returned, but he didn't think so.

A slender and tall man walked in from the outside holding a soup with a bitter taste in his hand, but he was not a medical officer, nor an eunuch serving him, but... Song Gong and Yi!

Song Gong personally carried the soup and medicine, with a smile on his face, his smile was friendly and gentle, and he said: "It seems that it's just right to come with Yi. The Taifu just had dinner and just drank the medicine. This medicine is just ready." Yes, Yu Yi originally wanted to visit the Grand Tutor, but he saw the medical officer delivering the medicine at the door, so he took the medicine and came. Tai Tuo, drink the medicine."

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lu tentatively looked at Song Gong and Yi. Song Gong's face was covered with the word "graciousness". .

Qi Lu complained about Song Gong in his heart, but Song Gong is the king of Song Kingdom anyway, so he still has to give face, and said, "Song Gong is a thousand-year-old body, how dare Lu work to Song Song to serve medicine?"

Song Gong and Yi saw it today.Firstly, he saw how important Qi Lu was to the emperor. The emperor himself supported him, gave him a soft couch to sleep on, and put him on the emperor's cloak; It is better to be an enemy with Qi Lu.

As for the three, Duke Song and Yi have cleared their suspicions today, thanks to Qi Lu, so in fact, Duke Song is still very grateful to Qi Lu, otherwise Duke Song would be justified if such a big scapegoat was put on Duke Song's head. Can't tell.

Song Gong and Yi wanted to get close to Qi Lu, so they said: "Why don't you bother? The Tai Tuo is too far away from Gu. If there is no Tai Tuo here today, Gu will have to suffer innocent injustice. Now it’s just a bowl of soup and medicine, come to Tai Tuo, come alone to feed Tai Tuo medicine.”

Qi Lu's eyelids twitched, but Song Gong and Yi were particularly enthusiastic.Song Gong and Yi naturally didn't dare to sit on the emperor's soft couch, so they stood beside them holding the medicine, and then took out a small dagger, just like in ancient TV dramas, wanting to feed it to Qi spoonful by spoonful. Lil drink.

Qi Lu's eyelids twitched even more. He was most afraid of suffering, and he felt bitter after a mouthful. Song Gong actually wanted to feed him spoonfuls of medicine. How long would it take him to drink such a big bowl of medicine?

Qi Lu said sincerely: "Dong Song, it's better not to bother Duke Song."

Song Gong and Yi said: "Teacher, don't be fooled by Gu."

When Ji Lin came out of the tent of the shogunate, he heard that Song Gong and Yi had gone to visit the sick, and his face immediately turned ugly. He still remembered that not long ago, Song Gong and Yi personally went to the battle to lure Qi Lv. Qi Lu didn't know Ji Lin's feelings for him, so he shared with Ji Lin the interesting story about his "bed thumping" Song Gong, who scared Song Gong into a panic and fled.

Ji Lin quickened his pace immediately, striding into the tent of the shogunate, Song Gong and Yi were feeding Qi Lu medicine, the two of them were "challenging", "too tired", "too far-fetched" and so on. Lin's stomach was sour again.

Ji Lin coughed, Song Gong and Yi realized that the emperor had come in, and quickly saluted, Ji Lin said lightly: "Don't bother Song Gong, I will feed the medicine to the Tai Tuo myself."

All the emperors came in, Song Gong wanted to win Qi Lu secretly, but he couldn't do it, so he saluted respectfully, and then quietly retreated.
