spring and autumn officials
Chapter 62 Up!
He already had some calculations in his mind.
Rong Ju thought it was some kind of problem to be able to get on top without drinking alcohol, Qi Lu thought with a smile, there is not only wine in this world that is easy to get on top, in Taifu Qi's heart, the beauty of the emperor is also quite high, Of course, Qi Lu will definitely not offer the beauty of the emperor, which is quite precious, and it is enough for Taifu Qi to covet it alone.
There is another thing, which is also very high, and that is - mustard.
Qi Lu had just made a bunch of yellow mustard a few days ago, and seeing some fresh duck feet in the dining room, he hugged the jar of yellow mustard, smiled faintly at those duck feet, and made you mustard duck feet, thick Huang mustard, see if you can make it?
Not only the top, but also the top until weeping.
Qi Lu brought the duck feet over, cleaned the duck feet first, and then boiled them in a pot, mixed some seasonings and wine to remove the fishy smell, and while the duck feet were cooking, Qi Lu went to make a yellow mustard sauce.
The aroma of yellow mustard is very strong, not as spicy as green mustard, but yellow mustard is also choking, so it is not a problem at all.
Qi Lu put some seasonings in the yellow mustard sauce, waited until the duck feet came out of the pan, removed the bones from the duck feet, let it cool down, then poured the yellow mustard sauce on the duck feet, the duck feet were as white as jade, yellow mustard The orange is bright and bright, and the sauce has a spicy taste, which is spicy and appetizing, and there is no oil star, which is extraordinarily refreshing.
Qi Lu made mustard duck feet, because the mustard duck feet Qi Lu made were particularly pungent, so Qi Lu did not show them to the emperor, but "specially" made such a dish for Rongju, which is considered the only one It's all over.
Qi Lu came out of the dining room non-stop, carrying freshly baked duck feet with mustard, and went to Rongju's house for the third time today.
Rong Ju instructed Qi Lu three times. He had just eaten ginger juice and milk, and had lunch again. He was very leisurely and did not regard himself as a prisoner at all. He was basking in the autumn sun at noon, and he felt warm and comfortable all over his body. .
Qi Lu came so soon, Rong Ju just finished his lunch and was not hungry at all, seeing Qi Lu came again, he sneered in his heart, this time he will never make a mistake again, it is so delicious He couldn't eat enough to eat, so naturally he wouldn't give Qi Lu face.
Rong Ju was 120 relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "Teacher Qi is here again? I really bother Taifu Qi."
Qi Lu said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's very simple for Rong Xiang to order food, don't worry about it."
Rong Ju: "..."
Rong Ju pondered for a while, instead of bickering with Qi Lu, he smiled and said, "Teacher, did you bring this food? Why didn't I see it?"
Rong Ju originally thought that if he wanted something better than wine, Qi Lu would definitely bring some drinks, but Qi Lu didn't bring any drinks, but directly brought a dish!
Qi Lu put mustard duck feet in front of Rong Ju, and said, "Rong Xiang has a taste of this, does it suit Rong Xiang's taste?"
Rong Ju dismissed it, a plate of duck feet?
He is very picky about his meals on weekdays, how can he eat such vulgar duck feet for a gentleman like himself?Rong Ju had never eaten it, and he never disdained it. Qi Lu brought it over, and he had already made drafts in his stomach, various drafts, how he was going to reject Qi Lu and belittle his food.
Rong Ju picked up a boneless duck's paw and said, "Taifu Qi, your duck's paw is made of wine?"
Qi Lu said with a smile: "Rong Xiang has just detoxified and is not suitable for drinking, so this duck's paw is not made of wine."
Rong Ju could be considered to have found Qi Lv's handle, and said: "If it's not made with wine, how can it make people stand up?"
Qi Lv still had a look on his face, and said, "Rongxiang will know it once he tries it."
Rong Ju just wanted to pretend to take a bite of the duck's paw, and then put it away in distaste. How could he know that the duck's paw was chewy, the leather was tough and chewy, and a strong spicy aroma rushed to his face? , although it is spicy, but the spicy taste is not enough, on the contrary, it is more fragrant, refreshing and appetizing, full of spicy, a little inhalation, "Teng!" All of a sudden, the stimulating taste hits the forehead, wishing to go directly to the bridge of the nose go up.
Rong Ju's eyes widened suddenly, he choked so hard that he covered his forehead, squinted his eyes and frowned vigorously, Qi Lu said with a smile: "How is it? Rong Xiang, is this mustard duck foot really good?"
Ji Lin reviewed the documents in the dormitory, exercised his muscles and bones, and wanted to talk to the Taifu when he was free, but he didn't know that he went to Qi Lu's house, but he didn't see Qi Lu himself. It is said that the Taifu has been busy in the dining room, taking care of Rongxiang's diet.
Ji Lin promised Qi Lu to take care of Rong Ju's food, but he was already very uncomfortable. After all, Ji Lin loved Qi Lu, so he couldn't bear the fact that he always cooks for others, especially because Rong Ju has bad intentions.
Ji Lin reluctantly agreed, but he didn't realize that this Rongju was just putting his nose on the face, how shameless, not only asked Qi Lu to take care of his three meals a day, but also ordered all kinds of snacks for the emperor to eat The past ginger milk is also a snack that Rongju ordered.
This time, the emperor was so sour, he thought Taifu Qi made it for himself, but now that Rong Ju had just eaten lunch, he even asked for something else by name.
Ji Lin immediately turned ugly, and immediately walked out of Qi Lu's house, and headed towards Rongju. He was dressed in a black robe, tall, with a gloomy face, despite his young age, he was full of majesty, striding forward. Go into Rongju's residence.
As soon as the Huben Army outside saw that the Son of Heaven was coming, they hurriedly made a salute to announce, but Ji Lin raised his hand, signaling to keep quiet, and walked in immediately without any pause.
When Ji Lin walked in, he wanted to reprimand Rong Ju angrily. He was just a prime minister abandoned by the state of Xu, but he dared to shout at the widowed grand tutor. It was really bold, but...
Ji Lin walked in with a dark face, and heard the voice of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." With a calm face and a gentle smile, she stared at Rong Ju in the house.
Rong Ju himself was sitting on the table, his eyes were red, he was crying tears, and he was sobbing non-stop. Rong Xiang, who has always been so heavenly, was crying so unbearably. He was still holding a boneless duck paw, the soft duck paw was dipped in yellow sauce, I don't know what kind of sauce it was, Rong Ju was crying and gnawing on the duck paw...
When Qi Lu saw the Son of Heaven coming in, he quickly saluted and said, "Lü pays respects to the Son of Heaven."
Xue Wei hurriedly saluted, and when it was Rong Ju's turn, Rong Ju also wanted to salute, but he ate too much mustard, and was still crying, sobbing, "Rong...Rong...Rong See the Son of Heaven."
Son of Heaven: "..." What's going on?
Ji Lin looked at Qi Lu, and Qi Lu said with a smile, "Don't be surprised, the Son of Heaven. The reason for Rongxiang's appearance is that he ate mustard, which choked his nose too much, so that's why."
When Ji Lin heard this, his anger was instantly extinguished by Qi Lu. He came over in a hurry, obviously to protect Qi Lu, but he didn't know that he didn't need to stand up by himself. The home system is obedient.
Qi Lu said with a smile: "I don't know if Rong Xiang has dinner, what else do you want to eat?"
Hearing this, Rong Ju quickly put down the mustard duck paw in his hand, wiped his hands, suddenly went uncharacteristically, solemnly kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Teacher is not only quick-witted and intelligent, but also has a broad heart, Rong Ju admires it."
When Qi Lu saw Rong Ju bowing down to him, he helped Rong Ju up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Rong Xiang racked his brains to test Lu, it's really embarrassing for Rong Ju."
In fact, Qi Lu has already seen that Rong Ju didn't really mean to be difficult for himself. Rong Ju is the Prime Minister of Xu State. Xu State has been well organized and the people live in peace all these years, which shows that Rong Ju is a qualified Prime Minister. Ju is qualified both in terms of strategy and talent, so how could he treat Qi Lu so arrogantly and rudely?
Qi Lu had already seen through it. Rong Ju was afraid that he wanted to test himself, so he intentionally made three problems. Qi Lu not only solved them one by one, but also had a very modest attitude. This is what Rong Ju admired the most.
Qi Lv said: "Since Rong Xiang has surrendered willingly, shouldn't we tell the emperor about the Huaiyi people? After all, Song Gong is still in Huaiyi's hands, and the time is not waiting for me, and the year is not with me."
Rong Ju's attitude changed a lot from before, he became more respectful, he cupped his hands and said, "Exactly, Rong Ju is going to report this matter to the Son of Heaven."
Ji Lin saw that it was the right time, so everyone sat down to talk about Huaiyi.
Rong Ju unfolded a piece of sheepskin, put it on the case table, and said: "This is the topographic map that Rong Ju drew that day, the topographic map of the border between Huaiyi and Xu, and the area where Huaiyi always invades. , please have a look at the emperor and Taifu."
Ji Lin glanced at the topographical map with squinted eyes, and couldn't help but look at Rong Ju differently. He thought Rong Ju was just a traitor, but he never thought that Rong Ju had some skills. The topographical map is very detailed, which can also make up for it. They don't understand the topography of the Huaiyi area.
Rong Ju said: "The terrain in the Huaiyi area is complex, but there are also weaknesses, that is, there are too many vegetation. If the emperor uses fire to attack, the Huaiyi army can be wiped out in one fell swoop."
Ji Lin frowned and said, "Even if I want to use fire to attack, I can't just burn the forest with fire. There must be a purpose. I don't know where the Huaiyi people are hiding, how to attack with fire?"
Qi Lv also had a worry, saying: "There are many vegetation in Huaiyi, which is indeed conducive to the fire attack, but soon after the emperor ascended the throne, if such a fire attack is really carried out, there will be countless casualties, and people with good intentions may stir up public opinion and cause panic among the people all over the world."
Rong Ju smiled, and said: "The Son of Heaven and the Grand Tutor have kind hearts, so this fire attack may not burn people, but burn the food and grass of Huaiyi."
Ji Lin said, "You can tell where the Huaiyi's food and grass are?"
Rong Ju said frankly, "I don't know."
Rong Ju said: "But Rong Ju can investigate for the emperor."
Rong Ju obviously had something to say, and cupped his hands and said: "When Rong Ju was the prime minister of the state of Xu, he had many contacts with several Huaiyi leaders, which can be regarded as some friendship. Rong Ju is willing to go to Huaiyi for the emperor, pretending to surrender, and investigate Huaiyi. The food and grass location of the Yi people."
According to Rong Ju, although Huaiyi is called Huaiyi, there is not only one group of people, just like the Di people. Zhou Tianzi collectively referred to the people in the north as Di people, but the Di people themselves were divided into Changdi and Bai. Di, Chi Di, etc., and Di people can also fight.
Huaiyi is the same, there are many different teams in Huaiyi. These teams are usually dissatisfied with each other, but now driven by interests, they twisted together and hijacked Song Gong and Yi, hoping to take advantage of it.
Rong Ju said: "These Huaiyi armies are at odds with each other. As long as their food and grass are burned, several forces will inevitably fall apart. When the time comes, the emperor will directly defeat them one by one. Why is it difficult to calm down Huaiyi?"
What Rong Ju said was very true, but how to burn the food and grass of Huaiyi to eliminate future troubles is a big problem.Rong Ju was willing to serve as a bait and go to Huaiyi to feign surrender. After he gained Huaiyi's trust, he could know the location of the food and grass, burn the food and grass, and use the flame as a sign for the Huben army to advance.
Qi Lu said: "This is indeed a good idea, but...although Rong Xiang has contacts with the leaders of Huaiyi, at that time it was based on the premise of benefit, so we can climb the friendship. Now Xu Guo and Huaiyi have fallen apart. , Rong Xiang's trip is full of risks, and it may not be successful."
Rong Ju laughed, with a treacherous smile on his face, and said: "What the Taifu said is true, if you want to deal with Huaiyi people, you must first give them some sweetness, and Huaiyi will eat the sweetness first, then you will be able to deal with Huaiyi people." Let your guard down on Rongju."
Ji Lin said "Oh?" and said, "Tell me, what exactly is the sweetness in Rongxiang's mouth?"
Rong Ju said, "Nature is food and grass."
Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "According to what Rong Xiang said, if the widows want to burn Huaiyi's grain and grass, they must first give them grain and grass?"
Rong Ju nodded and said: "If Rong Ju wants to gain the trust of Huaiyi, he must bring some sweetness to him, and he must ask the emperor to cooperate. Now that the emperor has controlled Xu State, he must transfer the troops stationed in Xue State to Huaiyi. Xu Guo, the delivery of food and grass is the key..."
Rong Ju fled to Huaiyi to feign surrender, so he must show sincerity, and he would tell the Huaiyi people the route of the emperor's transfer of grain and grass, and lead the Huaiyi people to kill them to snatch the grain and grass. Only then will he relax his vigilance towards Rong Ju.
Ji Lin fell into deep thought, this is indeed the truth, but this method is very risky, not only for living, but also for transporting food and grass.
Rong Ju cupped his hands and said: "Son of Heaven, it is imminent to defeat Huaiyi. Now that the fire has reached the tip of his eyebrows, there is no need to control it too much. As long as the Son of Heaven can smash Huaiyi, he will be able to block the mouths of the world's princes and build confidence. !"
Ji Lin's eyes sank slightly, and he finally nodded and said, "Okay, that depends on Rong Xiang."
Everyone discussed it and planned it carefully. Rong Ju pretended to injure Taifu Qi and fled. The emperor would spread the word and arrest Rong Ju all over the city, so that Huaiyi people also heard that Rong Ju was a traitor who was on the run. Living in Huaiyi in this way can get twice the result with half the effort.
In the early morning of the next day, the news came out from the palace that Rong Ju, the sinful official of Xu State, had actually injured Taifu Qi. Qi Taifu was seriously injured and was in danger. If Rongju can be apprehended, he will be named Luo Shi Dazai!
Because the reward is too generous, many people are ready to move, not to mention Xue Guo, several neighboring countries are also restless, ready to arrest Rongju.
Qi Lu was "wounded", covered in blood, the medical officers rushed in to rescue him, and nearly tied Qi Lu into a "mummy". Qi Lu didn't know exactly where he was injured, anyway, the medical officers came up in a mess Binding, I am either a mummy or a rice dumpling, my palms are bound into a big pig's trotter, I can't even move, let alone cook.
Qi Lv raised his hand and looked repeatedly. At this time, the emperor came to "visit the sick". He walked in with a dark face, sent all the eunuchs and maids away, and closed the door. Then he laughed and said: "Teacher Are you...?"
Qi Lu said helplessly: "Son of Heaven, these medical officers are too fake. Look at this bandage."
Qi Lu shook his hand, the wound cloth was a little loose, and was scattered by Qi Lu's shaking. Ji Lin saw it, and immediately sat over, put Qi Lu's hand on his lap, and carefully rewrapped Qi Lu. It hurts so much, and it's tied with a bow.
Qi Lu: "..."
The Son of Heaven and Taifu Qi were thinking about the bow tie of the wounded cloth. At this time, Rong Ju had successfully fled out of Xue Country, all the way to Huaiyi. There was no one around him, only a "little minister" with him. It is Xue Wei without a doubt.
Huaiyi and Xue Guo do have some contacts, but Xue Wei is not favored in the country, so people in Huaiyi have never seen Xue Wei, Xue Wei is a completely safe face, Xue Wei is good at martial arts, and Xue Wei protects Rongju , to ensure that Rongju can reach Huaiyi smoothly.
The two ran for their lives all the way, and when it was dark, the surroundings were already covered in darkness, and they lost their way in the jungle.
"Srustling!" The voice suddenly sounded, coming from all directions, Xue Wei immediately became alert and pulled out his dagger. "Crash!" With a loud noise, Rong Ju and Xue Wei only felt that they had stepped into a trap with their feet in the pocket. They had no way to react, and they were suddenly thrown into the sky by the net pocket.
Rong Ju was rolled over by the bag, Xue Wei hurriedly hugged Rong Ju, closed the net bag, and quickly followed the tree trunk to the sky, and then someone laughed and said: "Caught it! Caught it!"
"Not prey?"
"He's a human being!"
"Huh? This is an acquaintance! Hurry up and report to the lord, you have caught a fat prey!"
Xue Weigang wanted to scratch the net bag, Rong Ju took a look, immediately pressed his hand, and said, "The fish is hooked."
It turned out that those people were not hunters in the jungle, nor were they robbers, they were undoubtedly Huaiyi people.
The Huaiyi people set up traps to hunt, but they caught Rong Ju. The news of Rong Ju's rebellion has already spread. Huaiyi has been paying attention to the emperor's movements, so naturally he has heard of it.
Rong Ju and Xue Wei were pushed and shoved to a camp, Rong Ju looked left and right, this camp was too small, definitely not a grain and grass base for Huaiyi soldiers and horses, maybe it was just a storage point.
"Look who it is?!" A hoarse voice sounded with a smile.
Surrounded by big men, Xue Wei didn't know the man, but he knew from his style that he was definitely a leader.
Rong Ju smiled slightly, he was an old acquaintance with the other party, the big man said: "Why, I heard that Rong Xiang can't get along in Xu State, and when he came to the emperor, he was hunted down by the emperor again?"
Rong Ju said, "I made the king laugh."
People from Huaiyi do not obey discipline, and they can call themselves kings, but outsiders generally don't call them kings, Rong Ju was very polite when he spoke.
Rong Ju said again: "Now that Rong Ju is hunted down by Xu Guo and has betrayed the emperor, he feels more at ease when he comes to the king."
The leader of Huaiyi smiled and said, "Rong Xiang feels at ease? I don't feel at ease! Who doesn't know that Rong Xiang is good at scheming, thanks to his scheming? Rong Xiang came to us, maybe it was your little emperor's plan, right? ?”
Rong Ju was not nervous at all, let alone flustered, and said: "In the heart of the king, Rong Ju is such a bad person?"
The leader of Huaiyi took two steps forward, and suddenly grabbed Rong Ju, hugged him in his arms, and said, "Although I don't believe you, but... if you are willing to serve me, I will keep you in the camp." How about it?"
Seeing the big man hugging Rong Ju, Xue Wei immediately narrowed his eyes, and quickly stepped forward, the dagger "chuck!" on the big man's neck, and said coldly, "Let go!"
As soon as he moved, all the soldiers around him jumped up immediately, and quickly surrounded Rong Ju and Xue Wei. The big man said coldly, "What? You cunning Zhou people, did you show your fox tail so quickly?"
Rong Ju quickly pressed Xue Wei's hand, and scolded: "What are you doing? Put away your weapons quickly. How can you be so rude to the king?"
Xue Wei gritted his back teeth and stared at the big man coldly, because the big man hadn't let go of Rong Ju, Xue Wei hesitated.Just when he was hesitating, he said "Snap!", who would have thought that Rong Ju would strike and slap Xue Wei directly.
Xue Wei was a little dazed at the time, and then trembled with anger. He was devoted to protecting Rong Ju, but he didn't expect that Rong Ju didn't know good people, so he even slapped himself.
Xue Wei took a deep breath before throwing the dagger on the ground.
Rong Ju smiled at the big man and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it."
The big man looked at Xue Wei and said, "Who is this? Is he loyal to you?"
Rong Ju said, "It's just Rong Ju's favorite."
Xue Wei, the dignified son of Xue Guo, is about to become Xuehou, and he is said to be Rongju's male favorite, so angry that he almost vomits blood, but he also knows that this is an expedient measure, Xue Wei is a person who can bear it, so Did not speak.
The big man laughed loudly, picked up Rongju and was about to enter the tent, Xue Wei clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands were furious, feeling that his endurance suddenly became very low, almost unable to hold back.
At this time, Rong Ju suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Rong Ju came here to bring sincerity. Your Majesty marches, do you want food and grass?"
The big man paused, narrowed his eyes, suddenly put Rong Ju down again, and said, "Sincerity?"
Rong Juxiao had the chance to win, and said: "Exactly, now that the emperor has conquered the state of Xu, in order to fight the king, he wants to transfer the soldiers, horses, food and grass from the state of Xue to the border of the state of Xu. Since ancient times, in wars, food and grass have always been used first. Well, there is a piece of news from Rong Ju here, which is completely reliable. It is the route of the emperor's campaign for grain and grass. As long as the king follows Rong Ju's words, he can directly intercept this batch of grain and grass to use as an army. I don't know that compared to this news, Rong Ju is even more shocking. Is Your Majesty's heart fascinated, or is food and grass more motivating His Majesty's heart?"
The big man squinted his eyes and sneered, "How can I trust you?"
Rong Ju said: "Your Majesty, don't believe me. Because this food and grass team travels in a remote place, there are not many people. I'm afraid I will alarm the King. You only need to send a hundred soldiers and horses to win a big victory. If Rong Ju cheats, 100 For the king, what loss does the horse have, right?"
The leader of Huaiyi said that they should think about it, but Rong Ju didn't urge them. The big man arranged a tent for them, and told them not to walk around casually, and they were locked in the tent.
The two of them entered the tent, and Rong Ju was leisurely. They lay down on the simple couch, as if they were tired from the journey, turned over, lay on their side on the couch, and waved to Xue Wei, "You little pet, come over here, give me a favor." I squeeze my shoulder."
Xue Wei got slapped just now, and was called a male favorite by Rong Ju, and he was already on fire. What he didn't know was that he was actually the most angry when he saw the leader of Huaiyi holding Rong Ju .
Xue Wei stood at the door of the camp with a cold face and didn't move. Rong Ju chuckled and said, "Why, is it delicious? You look so frightening with your doting eyes?"
Seeing Rong Ju's smug smile, Xue Wei thought it was very eye-catching, so he walked over step by step, showing a gloomy smile, and said, "Didn't Rong Xiang say that the minister is a white-eyed wolf who eats meat? The minister only eats meat." Meat, how can it taste? Now...is it time to eat meat?"
Ji Lin and Qi Lu's side, according to the plan, was going to start delivering food and grass the next day. These food and grass had to be thrown away so that Rong Ju could gain Huaiyi's trust.
Because food and grass must be thrown away, soldiers and horses must be defeated badly. Who will lead the troops is a problem. Fierce defeat also requires skills. If not done well, it will cause fire.
Young Master Feng took the initiative to ask for orders, saying: "The emperor rescued Song Guo only because the emperor was lenient and benevolent, and Song Gong fell into the hands of Huaiyi. In the final analysis, it was our Song Guo's business. Now that he is in danger, how can Feng let others lead him? For the people of the Song Dynasty, I have an inescapable responsibility, and I ask the emperor to agree, and Feng is willing to go!"
Young Master Feng is willing to lead the army to escort food and grass. He usually talks very little and looks like a nobleman, but in fact Young Master Feng is outstanding in martial arts. best candidate.
Ji Lin agreed to Young Master Feng's request, and asked Young Master Feng to gather his men and horses, and leave the city with food and supplies. Before leaving, Ji Lin was still exhorting, saying, "Don't fight head-on with the Huaiyi people and make a retreat. Just look good, don't take risks."
Young Master Feng was dressed in black armor, a scarlet cloak, and a sword at his waist. Whether it was the black jacket or the scarlet cloak, they all formed a sharp contrast with his pale face.
The young master Feng has a pair of eyes that do not want to have any desires, and usually cannot make any waves, but now he is squinting, his black eyes are rolling with waves, and he said to the emperor, "Please rest assured, Feng Xing will not disgrace his life!"
Ji Lin and Qi Lu sent Young Master Feng to the city gate, and soon watched Young Master Feng lead a team of troops out of the city, whistling with dust, and this pair of people only had 50 people, and they also brought a lot of supplies and food. ...
Young Master Feng's team quickly set off on the road, rushed out of the city gate of Xue Kingdom, and followed the planned route along the mountain road. Because the carts were full of grain and grass, the ruts of the carts were deeply imprinted in the soil.
The group of people was not slow. After passing through a section of mountain road, they quickly entered the forest where Xue Guo and Xu Guo joined. Because the wheel of the cart was stuck by a stone, it turned over all of a sudden, and "Boom—" spilled grain all over the ground.
"what happened?!"
"Quick, pack up the food and grass!"
"Move fast! Move fast!"
The convoy stopped temporarily and quickly packed up the food and grass. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of "Shusu... Susu...", as if it was the sound of the wind blowing the jungle, which was really inconspicuous in this huge jungle .
The grass was fluctuating, and just as the team was about to set off, they suddenly heard the voice of "Kill!!", and ambush soldiers quickly poured out from the undulating grass. The clothes of the ambush soldiers were different from theirs, and they could be identified as Huaiyi people at a glance. .
Young Master Feng only brought fifty soldiers and horses with him, and Huai Yi dispatched twice as many soldiers as them. They quickly drove away the grain and grass soldiers. After pretending for a while, he immediately said: "Quick! Retreat!!"
"retreat--"
"Retreat! Retreat!"
All of a sudden, the ranks were in disarray, and the soldiers abandoned their heavy grain trucks one after another, turned around and ran away without their helmets and armor. The soldiers in Huaiyi immediately laughed when they saw this scene.
"Rong Ju really didn't lie to us!"
"Food! It's really grain!"
"Hahaha, I guess he wouldn't dare to lie to our king!"
"Hurry up, pack up the food and grass, and withdraw the troops!"
The Huaiyi people robbed the grain and grass, and did not chase after the tiger army that escorted the grain and grass. After all, they didn't have many troops, and it would be miserable if they encountered an ambush.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of "tapping, treading" horseshoes. I heard that the sound was weak, and the sound of horseshoes was very leisurely.
Huaiyi's soldiers and horses immediately stood on guard and looked in the direction of the sound of the horse's hooves. Sure enough, they saw a man in black armor and a scarlet cloak turning back.
That man has a handsome face, but his complexion is extremely pale, his eyes are cold and unwavering, it is Young Master Feng!
Young Master Feng was riding on a horse and came slowly. There were no tiger and ben army around him, only him, as if he was out on a green trip.
Huaiyi soldiers were frightened by the appearance of young master Feng, and the leading general said: "Don't panic! He is alone! Surround me!"
Young Master Feng is alone, and there are 100 Huaiyi soldiers. No matter how powerful Young Master Feng is, it is impossible for one to fight against a hundred.The young master Feng was completely calm. He rode on the horse and came in front of the crowd, surrounded by them. Slowly, little by little, he pulled out the sword at his waist with a "chih--".
The Huaiyi soldiers and horses immediately stared at Young Master Feng vigilantly. At this moment, Young Master Feng threw the saber in his hand in front of those Huaiyi soldiers with a "snap!", with a smile on his lips, and said in a low voice: "Prince Song, Feng, please see your leader."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. It turned out that this pale man was Song's son Feng, who was also the cousin of Song Gong and Yi who had been arrested. Apart from Song Gong and Yi, only son Feng was the orthodox blood of Song.
Those soldiers looked at each other. Compared with the Huaiyi soldiers with many heads, Young Master Feng was only one person, but he looked unusually calm and dignified, as if the person surrounded was not him.
Young Master Feng said indifferently: "Feng has already disarmed, and he doesn't have any weapons on his body. Please see your king and tell me something important."
The leader of the soldiers said: "You are the son of the Song Dynasty? Why do you ask to see our king? I am afraid it is a fraud!"
Young Master Feng Youyou smiled, with a low "hehe" laugh in his throat, and said: "Everyone, don't worry too much, Feng is here to surrender, and Feng has brought the sincerity of surrender..."
Although the leader of Huaiyi said that he had to think about it, food and grass were a great temptation for them, so Rong Ju had the chance to win, so he didn't worry at all.
The night was getting darker, and suddenly a few soldiers entered the camp, Xue Wei stared at them warily, and those soldiers said: "The grain and grass that Rongxiang said is indeed true, the king has intercepted the grain and grass, very happy, so Please move forward, go to the food and grass garrison camp, and discuss the big plan together!"
Rong Ju smiled, he was waiting for this moment, selling some grain and grass, just to win the trust of the Huaiyi people, as long as Rong Ju entered the camp where the grain and grass were stationed, he could inform the emperor and Qi Lu.
Rong Ju dusted off his robe, and said, "Then I'll be able to lead the way?"
The soldiers led Rong Ju and Xue Wei, and turned around in the jungle for a long time. The front suddenly became clear, and they really saw a huge camp. He couldn't help chuckling, everything was under his control.
When Rong Ju and Xue Wei walked into the camp, they heard the sound of "Tat Tat Tat Tat!", and in an instant, dozens of Huaiyi soldiers rushed up and quickly surrounded Rong Ju and Xue Wei, their swords facing each other.
Rong Ju was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Everyone, don't get me wrong, everyone is our own."
"Our own?" Huaiyi's leader came out, it was the big man from before, and the big man smiled and said, "What is your own?"
Rong Ju smiled and said, "My lord, what do you mean? Didn't Rong Ju just snatch the emperor's food and grass for you, we are all on our own."
"Really?" The leader of Huaiyi said with a smile: "Rong Ju, Rong Ju, you are so eloquent! I was almost deceived by you! It is clear that you and the emperor of Zhou conspired against us! You plan to make some food and grass as a Bait, lure us out, right?!"
Rong Ju's eyes twitched slightly, but of course he refused to admit it, and said, "My lord, why do you think so? I injured the master of the emperor of Zhou, and the emperor will not allow me, why should I work for him?"
"Because you're cunning enough!" Huaiyi's leader said, "You pretended to surrender and used food and grass as bait in order for me to bring you to the garrison camp, and then set fire to my food and grass, didn't you? "
Xue Wei didn't know that these Huaiyi people had heard of the plan in this way, and he didn't know which link had a problem. He only knew that although he and Rong Ju had come to Huaiyi's camp, they were already surrounded. If you are not careful, you may be doomed!
Just as Rong Ju wanted to quibble, the Huaiyi leader said, "I know you are eloquent. Well, I have someone who can confront you face to face! Ask him to come out!"
The soldier responded immediately, and soon led a man in black armor to come face to face. The man was tall and straight, handsome and indifferent. His black armor set off his icy temperament. There were dark waves hidden in his desireless black eyes, and the corners of his lips But he sneered slightly.
"Young Master Feng?!" Rong Ju was shocked when he saw Young Master Feng.
Xue Wei was also shocked, and immediately protected Rong Ju behind him, because he knew that all plans would fail...
Young Master Feng was invited out by soldiers from Huaiyi. He clearly smiled, but there was no smile in what he said. He said indifferently, "Why, Rongxiang doesn't want to see Feng?"
Rong Ju's face turned pale in an instant, he no longer had the usual chance of winning, he gritted his back teeth and said, "Mr. Song, why are you here?"
Young Master Feng said: "Naturally, he came here to surrender. Why? Only tolerance is allowed, Feng is not allowed to surrender. In this world, how can there be such a reason? Yes, because of Rong's surrender, it is a fake surrender."
Rong Ju's heart was jumping with fear, he only felt his lips were chapped, he kept pursing them, revealing a trace of nervousness, his palms were covered with cold sweat, he never expected that his plan would go wrong.
Young Master Feng said: "You don't have to pretend to be Rong Xiang. Feng has already explained everything to the king, and I would like to thank Rong Xiang for his food and grass."
The leader of Huaiyi waved his hand and said: "Get escorted, a minister of the state of Xu, and a son of the state of Xue. Well, we have gained two points of confidence in negotiating with the Zhou people!"
The soldiers rushed up quickly, Xue Wei was protecting Rongju, but there were so many Huaiyi people, Xue Wei was no match for these people, Xue Wei was punched hard in the stomach, and the whole person "Boom!" Knelt on the ground can't get up.
Rong Ju immediately rushed over to help Xue Wei, and said fiercely: "Young Master Feng! How dare you betray the Son of Heaven?!"
Young Master Feng said lightly: "Tell me? I am the orthodox of the Song Kingdom. I was defeated and captured by the barbarians. The Son of Heaven could directly seal me as the King of the Song Kingdom, but he still refuses to do so. Tell me, why should I worship him?" To be the master?!"
Xue Wei was injured and didn't bring it up, and passed out directly. Rong Ju didn't know martial arts, and soon the two of them were dragged down by soldiers, locked in a tent, and strictly guarded.
The leader of Huaiyi looked at Young Master Feng and said with a smile: "Thanks to the help of Young Master Song, otherwise we would have fallen into the trick of the emperor!"
Young Master Feng said coldly: "It's just mutual benefit, as long as the king can help me ascend to the throne of the Song Dynasty, Feng doesn't want to care about anything else."
"Okay!" The leader of Huaiyi said: "Cheerful! Mr. Song is a refreshing person, come, please take credit! I have prepared good wine, and I have a small profit."
Young Master Feng is very cold
Rong Ju thought it was some kind of problem to be able to get on top without drinking alcohol, Qi Lu thought with a smile, there is not only wine in this world that is easy to get on top, in Taifu Qi's heart, the beauty of the emperor is also quite high, Of course, Qi Lu will definitely not offer the beauty of the emperor, which is quite precious, and it is enough for Taifu Qi to covet it alone.
There is another thing, which is also very high, and that is - mustard.
Qi Lu had just made a bunch of yellow mustard a few days ago, and seeing some fresh duck feet in the dining room, he hugged the jar of yellow mustard, smiled faintly at those duck feet, and made you mustard duck feet, thick Huang mustard, see if you can make it?
Not only the top, but also the top until weeping.
Qi Lu brought the duck feet over, cleaned the duck feet first, and then boiled them in a pot, mixed some seasonings and wine to remove the fishy smell, and while the duck feet were cooking, Qi Lu went to make a yellow mustard sauce.
The aroma of yellow mustard is very strong, not as spicy as green mustard, but yellow mustard is also choking, so it is not a problem at all.
Qi Lu put some seasonings in the yellow mustard sauce, waited until the duck feet came out of the pan, removed the bones from the duck feet, let it cool down, then poured the yellow mustard sauce on the duck feet, the duck feet were as white as jade, yellow mustard The orange is bright and bright, and the sauce has a spicy taste, which is spicy and appetizing, and there is no oil star, which is extraordinarily refreshing.
Qi Lu made mustard duck feet, because the mustard duck feet Qi Lu made were particularly pungent, so Qi Lu did not show them to the emperor, but "specially" made such a dish for Rongju, which is considered the only one It's all over.
Qi Lu came out of the dining room non-stop, carrying freshly baked duck feet with mustard, and went to Rongju's house for the third time today.
Rong Ju instructed Qi Lu three times. He had just eaten ginger juice and milk, and had lunch again. He was very leisurely and did not regard himself as a prisoner at all. He was basking in the autumn sun at noon, and he felt warm and comfortable all over his body. .
Qi Lu came so soon, Rong Ju just finished his lunch and was not hungry at all, seeing Qi Lu came again, he sneered in his heart, this time he will never make a mistake again, it is so delicious He couldn't eat enough to eat, so naturally he wouldn't give Qi Lu face.
Rong Ju was 120 relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "Teacher Qi is here again? I really bother Taifu Qi."
Qi Lu said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's very simple for Rong Xiang to order food, don't worry about it."
Rong Ju: "..."
Rong Ju pondered for a while, instead of bickering with Qi Lu, he smiled and said, "Teacher, did you bring this food? Why didn't I see it?"
Rong Ju originally thought that if he wanted something better than wine, Qi Lu would definitely bring some drinks, but Qi Lu didn't bring any drinks, but directly brought a dish!
Qi Lu put mustard duck feet in front of Rong Ju, and said, "Rong Xiang has a taste of this, does it suit Rong Xiang's taste?"
Rong Ju dismissed it, a plate of duck feet?
He is very picky about his meals on weekdays, how can he eat such vulgar duck feet for a gentleman like himself?Rong Ju had never eaten it, and he never disdained it. Qi Lu brought it over, and he had already made drafts in his stomach, various drafts, how he was going to reject Qi Lu and belittle his food.
Rong Ju picked up a boneless duck's paw and said, "Taifu Qi, your duck's paw is made of wine?"
Qi Lu said with a smile: "Rong Xiang has just detoxified and is not suitable for drinking, so this duck's paw is not made of wine."
Rong Ju could be considered to have found Qi Lv's handle, and said: "If it's not made with wine, how can it make people stand up?"
Qi Lv still had a look on his face, and said, "Rongxiang will know it once he tries it."
Rong Ju just wanted to pretend to take a bite of the duck's paw, and then put it away in distaste. How could he know that the duck's paw was chewy, the leather was tough and chewy, and a strong spicy aroma rushed to his face? , although it is spicy, but the spicy taste is not enough, on the contrary, it is more fragrant, refreshing and appetizing, full of spicy, a little inhalation, "Teng!" All of a sudden, the stimulating taste hits the forehead, wishing to go directly to the bridge of the nose go up.
Rong Ju's eyes widened suddenly, he choked so hard that he covered his forehead, squinted his eyes and frowned vigorously, Qi Lu said with a smile: "How is it? Rong Xiang, is this mustard duck foot really good?"
Ji Lin reviewed the documents in the dormitory, exercised his muscles and bones, and wanted to talk to the Taifu when he was free, but he didn't know that he went to Qi Lu's house, but he didn't see Qi Lu himself. It is said that the Taifu has been busy in the dining room, taking care of Rongxiang's diet.
Ji Lin promised Qi Lu to take care of Rong Ju's food, but he was already very uncomfortable. After all, Ji Lin loved Qi Lu, so he couldn't bear the fact that he always cooks for others, especially because Rong Ju has bad intentions.
Ji Lin reluctantly agreed, but he didn't realize that this Rongju was just putting his nose on the face, how shameless, not only asked Qi Lu to take care of his three meals a day, but also ordered all kinds of snacks for the emperor to eat The past ginger milk is also a snack that Rongju ordered.
This time, the emperor was so sour, he thought Taifu Qi made it for himself, but now that Rong Ju had just eaten lunch, he even asked for something else by name.
Ji Lin immediately turned ugly, and immediately walked out of Qi Lu's house, and headed towards Rongju. He was dressed in a black robe, tall, with a gloomy face, despite his young age, he was full of majesty, striding forward. Go into Rongju's residence.
As soon as the Huben Army outside saw that the Son of Heaven was coming, they hurriedly made a salute to announce, but Ji Lin raised his hand, signaling to keep quiet, and walked in immediately without any pause.
When Ji Lin walked in, he wanted to reprimand Rong Ju angrily. He was just a prime minister abandoned by the state of Xu, but he dared to shout at the widowed grand tutor. It was really bold, but...
Ji Lin walked in with a dark face, and heard the voice of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." With a calm face and a gentle smile, she stared at Rong Ju in the house.
Rong Ju himself was sitting on the table, his eyes were red, he was crying tears, and he was sobbing non-stop. Rong Xiang, who has always been so heavenly, was crying so unbearably. He was still holding a boneless duck paw, the soft duck paw was dipped in yellow sauce, I don't know what kind of sauce it was, Rong Ju was crying and gnawing on the duck paw...
When Qi Lu saw the Son of Heaven coming in, he quickly saluted and said, "Lü pays respects to the Son of Heaven."
Xue Wei hurriedly saluted, and when it was Rong Ju's turn, Rong Ju also wanted to salute, but he ate too much mustard, and was still crying, sobbing, "Rong...Rong...Rong See the Son of Heaven."
Son of Heaven: "..." What's going on?
Ji Lin looked at Qi Lu, and Qi Lu said with a smile, "Don't be surprised, the Son of Heaven. The reason for Rongxiang's appearance is that he ate mustard, which choked his nose too much, so that's why."
When Ji Lin heard this, his anger was instantly extinguished by Qi Lu. He came over in a hurry, obviously to protect Qi Lu, but he didn't know that he didn't need to stand up by himself. The home system is obedient.
Qi Lu said with a smile: "I don't know if Rong Xiang has dinner, what else do you want to eat?"
Hearing this, Rong Ju quickly put down the mustard duck paw in his hand, wiped his hands, suddenly went uncharacteristically, solemnly kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Teacher is not only quick-witted and intelligent, but also has a broad heart, Rong Ju admires it."
When Qi Lu saw Rong Ju bowing down to him, he helped Rong Ju up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Rong Xiang racked his brains to test Lu, it's really embarrassing for Rong Ju."
In fact, Qi Lu has already seen that Rong Ju didn't really mean to be difficult for himself. Rong Ju is the Prime Minister of Xu State. Xu State has been well organized and the people live in peace all these years, which shows that Rong Ju is a qualified Prime Minister. Ju is qualified both in terms of strategy and talent, so how could he treat Qi Lu so arrogantly and rudely?
Qi Lu had already seen through it. Rong Ju was afraid that he wanted to test himself, so he intentionally made three problems. Qi Lu not only solved them one by one, but also had a very modest attitude. This is what Rong Ju admired the most.
Qi Lv said: "Since Rong Xiang has surrendered willingly, shouldn't we tell the emperor about the Huaiyi people? After all, Song Gong is still in Huaiyi's hands, and the time is not waiting for me, and the year is not with me."
Rong Ju's attitude changed a lot from before, he became more respectful, he cupped his hands and said, "Exactly, Rong Ju is going to report this matter to the Son of Heaven."
Ji Lin saw that it was the right time, so everyone sat down to talk about Huaiyi.
Rong Ju unfolded a piece of sheepskin, put it on the case table, and said: "This is the topographic map that Rong Ju drew that day, the topographic map of the border between Huaiyi and Xu, and the area where Huaiyi always invades. , please have a look at the emperor and Taifu."
Ji Lin glanced at the topographical map with squinted eyes, and couldn't help but look at Rong Ju differently. He thought Rong Ju was just a traitor, but he never thought that Rong Ju had some skills. The topographical map is very detailed, which can also make up for it. They don't understand the topography of the Huaiyi area.
Rong Ju said: "The terrain in the Huaiyi area is complex, but there are also weaknesses, that is, there are too many vegetation. If the emperor uses fire to attack, the Huaiyi army can be wiped out in one fell swoop."
Ji Lin frowned and said, "Even if I want to use fire to attack, I can't just burn the forest with fire. There must be a purpose. I don't know where the Huaiyi people are hiding, how to attack with fire?"
Qi Lv also had a worry, saying: "There are many vegetation in Huaiyi, which is indeed conducive to the fire attack, but soon after the emperor ascended the throne, if such a fire attack is really carried out, there will be countless casualties, and people with good intentions may stir up public opinion and cause panic among the people all over the world."
Rong Ju smiled, and said: "The Son of Heaven and the Grand Tutor have kind hearts, so this fire attack may not burn people, but burn the food and grass of Huaiyi."
Ji Lin said, "You can tell where the Huaiyi's food and grass are?"
Rong Ju said frankly, "I don't know."
Rong Ju said: "But Rong Ju can investigate for the emperor."
Rong Ju obviously had something to say, and cupped his hands and said: "When Rong Ju was the prime minister of the state of Xu, he had many contacts with several Huaiyi leaders, which can be regarded as some friendship. Rong Ju is willing to go to Huaiyi for the emperor, pretending to surrender, and investigate Huaiyi. The food and grass location of the Yi people."
According to Rong Ju, although Huaiyi is called Huaiyi, there is not only one group of people, just like the Di people. Zhou Tianzi collectively referred to the people in the north as Di people, but the Di people themselves were divided into Changdi and Bai. Di, Chi Di, etc., and Di people can also fight.
Huaiyi is the same, there are many different teams in Huaiyi. These teams are usually dissatisfied with each other, but now driven by interests, they twisted together and hijacked Song Gong and Yi, hoping to take advantage of it.
Rong Ju said: "These Huaiyi armies are at odds with each other. As long as their food and grass are burned, several forces will inevitably fall apart. When the time comes, the emperor will directly defeat them one by one. Why is it difficult to calm down Huaiyi?"
What Rong Ju said was very true, but how to burn the food and grass of Huaiyi to eliminate future troubles is a big problem.Rong Ju was willing to serve as a bait and go to Huaiyi to feign surrender. After he gained Huaiyi's trust, he could know the location of the food and grass, burn the food and grass, and use the flame as a sign for the Huben army to advance.
Qi Lu said: "This is indeed a good idea, but...although Rong Xiang has contacts with the leaders of Huaiyi, at that time it was based on the premise of benefit, so we can climb the friendship. Now Xu Guo and Huaiyi have fallen apart. , Rong Xiang's trip is full of risks, and it may not be successful."
Rong Ju laughed, with a treacherous smile on his face, and said: "What the Taifu said is true, if you want to deal with Huaiyi people, you must first give them some sweetness, and Huaiyi will eat the sweetness first, then you will be able to deal with Huaiyi people." Let your guard down on Rongju."
Ji Lin said "Oh?" and said, "Tell me, what exactly is the sweetness in Rongxiang's mouth?"
Rong Ju said, "Nature is food and grass."
Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "According to what Rong Xiang said, if the widows want to burn Huaiyi's grain and grass, they must first give them grain and grass?"
Rong Ju nodded and said: "If Rong Ju wants to gain the trust of Huaiyi, he must bring some sweetness to him, and he must ask the emperor to cooperate. Now that the emperor has controlled Xu State, he must transfer the troops stationed in Xue State to Huaiyi. Xu Guo, the delivery of food and grass is the key..."
Rong Ju fled to Huaiyi to feign surrender, so he must show sincerity, and he would tell the Huaiyi people the route of the emperor's transfer of grain and grass, and lead the Huaiyi people to kill them to snatch the grain and grass. Only then will he relax his vigilance towards Rong Ju.
Ji Lin fell into deep thought, this is indeed the truth, but this method is very risky, not only for living, but also for transporting food and grass.
Rong Ju cupped his hands and said: "Son of Heaven, it is imminent to defeat Huaiyi. Now that the fire has reached the tip of his eyebrows, there is no need to control it too much. As long as the Son of Heaven can smash Huaiyi, he will be able to block the mouths of the world's princes and build confidence. !"
Ji Lin's eyes sank slightly, and he finally nodded and said, "Okay, that depends on Rong Xiang."
Everyone discussed it and planned it carefully. Rong Ju pretended to injure Taifu Qi and fled. The emperor would spread the word and arrest Rong Ju all over the city, so that Huaiyi people also heard that Rong Ju was a traitor who was on the run. Living in Huaiyi in this way can get twice the result with half the effort.
In the early morning of the next day, the news came out from the palace that Rong Ju, the sinful official of Xu State, had actually injured Taifu Qi. Qi Taifu was seriously injured and was in danger. If Rongju can be apprehended, he will be named Luo Shi Dazai!
Because the reward is too generous, many people are ready to move, not to mention Xue Guo, several neighboring countries are also restless, ready to arrest Rongju.
Qi Lu was "wounded", covered in blood, the medical officers rushed in to rescue him, and nearly tied Qi Lu into a "mummy". Qi Lu didn't know exactly where he was injured, anyway, the medical officers came up in a mess Binding, I am either a mummy or a rice dumpling, my palms are bound into a big pig's trotter, I can't even move, let alone cook.
Qi Lv raised his hand and looked repeatedly. At this time, the emperor came to "visit the sick". He walked in with a dark face, sent all the eunuchs and maids away, and closed the door. Then he laughed and said: "Teacher Are you...?"
Qi Lu said helplessly: "Son of Heaven, these medical officers are too fake. Look at this bandage."
Qi Lu shook his hand, the wound cloth was a little loose, and was scattered by Qi Lu's shaking. Ji Lin saw it, and immediately sat over, put Qi Lu's hand on his lap, and carefully rewrapped Qi Lu. It hurts so much, and it's tied with a bow.
Qi Lu: "..."
The Son of Heaven and Taifu Qi were thinking about the bow tie of the wounded cloth. At this time, Rong Ju had successfully fled out of Xue Country, all the way to Huaiyi. There was no one around him, only a "little minister" with him. It is Xue Wei without a doubt.
Huaiyi and Xue Guo do have some contacts, but Xue Wei is not favored in the country, so people in Huaiyi have never seen Xue Wei, Xue Wei is a completely safe face, Xue Wei is good at martial arts, and Xue Wei protects Rongju , to ensure that Rongju can reach Huaiyi smoothly.
The two ran for their lives all the way, and when it was dark, the surroundings were already covered in darkness, and they lost their way in the jungle.
"Srustling!" The voice suddenly sounded, coming from all directions, Xue Wei immediately became alert and pulled out his dagger. "Crash!" With a loud noise, Rong Ju and Xue Wei only felt that they had stepped into a trap with their feet in the pocket. They had no way to react, and they were suddenly thrown into the sky by the net pocket.
Rong Ju was rolled over by the bag, Xue Wei hurriedly hugged Rong Ju, closed the net bag, and quickly followed the tree trunk to the sky, and then someone laughed and said: "Caught it! Caught it!"
"Not prey?"
"He's a human being!"
"Huh? This is an acquaintance! Hurry up and report to the lord, you have caught a fat prey!"
Xue Weigang wanted to scratch the net bag, Rong Ju took a look, immediately pressed his hand, and said, "The fish is hooked."
It turned out that those people were not hunters in the jungle, nor were they robbers, they were undoubtedly Huaiyi people.
The Huaiyi people set up traps to hunt, but they caught Rong Ju. The news of Rong Ju's rebellion has already spread. Huaiyi has been paying attention to the emperor's movements, so naturally he has heard of it.
Rong Ju and Xue Wei were pushed and shoved to a camp, Rong Ju looked left and right, this camp was too small, definitely not a grain and grass base for Huaiyi soldiers and horses, maybe it was just a storage point.
"Look who it is?!" A hoarse voice sounded with a smile.
Surrounded by big men, Xue Wei didn't know the man, but he knew from his style that he was definitely a leader.
Rong Ju smiled slightly, he was an old acquaintance with the other party, the big man said: "Why, I heard that Rong Xiang can't get along in Xu State, and when he came to the emperor, he was hunted down by the emperor again?"
Rong Ju said, "I made the king laugh."
People from Huaiyi do not obey discipline, and they can call themselves kings, but outsiders generally don't call them kings, Rong Ju was very polite when he spoke.
Rong Ju said again: "Now that Rong Ju is hunted down by Xu Guo and has betrayed the emperor, he feels more at ease when he comes to the king."
The leader of Huaiyi smiled and said, "Rong Xiang feels at ease? I don't feel at ease! Who doesn't know that Rong Xiang is good at scheming, thanks to his scheming? Rong Xiang came to us, maybe it was your little emperor's plan, right? ?”
Rong Ju was not nervous at all, let alone flustered, and said: "In the heart of the king, Rong Ju is such a bad person?"
The leader of Huaiyi took two steps forward, and suddenly grabbed Rong Ju, hugged him in his arms, and said, "Although I don't believe you, but... if you are willing to serve me, I will keep you in the camp." How about it?"
Seeing the big man hugging Rong Ju, Xue Wei immediately narrowed his eyes, and quickly stepped forward, the dagger "chuck!" on the big man's neck, and said coldly, "Let go!"
As soon as he moved, all the soldiers around him jumped up immediately, and quickly surrounded Rong Ju and Xue Wei. The big man said coldly, "What? You cunning Zhou people, did you show your fox tail so quickly?"
Rong Ju quickly pressed Xue Wei's hand, and scolded: "What are you doing? Put away your weapons quickly. How can you be so rude to the king?"
Xue Wei gritted his back teeth and stared at the big man coldly, because the big man hadn't let go of Rong Ju, Xue Wei hesitated.Just when he was hesitating, he said "Snap!", who would have thought that Rong Ju would strike and slap Xue Wei directly.
Xue Wei was a little dazed at the time, and then trembled with anger. He was devoted to protecting Rong Ju, but he didn't expect that Rong Ju didn't know good people, so he even slapped himself.
Xue Wei took a deep breath before throwing the dagger on the ground.
Rong Ju smiled at the big man and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it."
The big man looked at Xue Wei and said, "Who is this? Is he loyal to you?"
Rong Ju said, "It's just Rong Ju's favorite."
Xue Wei, the dignified son of Xue Guo, is about to become Xuehou, and he is said to be Rongju's male favorite, so angry that he almost vomits blood, but he also knows that this is an expedient measure, Xue Wei is a person who can bear it, so Did not speak.
The big man laughed loudly, picked up Rongju and was about to enter the tent, Xue Wei clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands were furious, feeling that his endurance suddenly became very low, almost unable to hold back.
At this time, Rong Ju suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Rong Ju came here to bring sincerity. Your Majesty marches, do you want food and grass?"
The big man paused, narrowed his eyes, suddenly put Rong Ju down again, and said, "Sincerity?"
Rong Juxiao had the chance to win, and said: "Exactly, now that the emperor has conquered the state of Xu, in order to fight the king, he wants to transfer the soldiers, horses, food and grass from the state of Xue to the border of the state of Xu. Since ancient times, in wars, food and grass have always been used first. Well, there is a piece of news from Rong Ju here, which is completely reliable. It is the route of the emperor's campaign for grain and grass. As long as the king follows Rong Ju's words, he can directly intercept this batch of grain and grass to use as an army. I don't know that compared to this news, Rong Ju is even more shocking. Is Your Majesty's heart fascinated, or is food and grass more motivating His Majesty's heart?"
The big man squinted his eyes and sneered, "How can I trust you?"
Rong Ju said: "Your Majesty, don't believe me. Because this food and grass team travels in a remote place, there are not many people. I'm afraid I will alarm the King. You only need to send a hundred soldiers and horses to win a big victory. If Rong Ju cheats, 100 For the king, what loss does the horse have, right?"
The leader of Huaiyi said that they should think about it, but Rong Ju didn't urge them. The big man arranged a tent for them, and told them not to walk around casually, and they were locked in the tent.
The two of them entered the tent, and Rong Ju was leisurely. They lay down on the simple couch, as if they were tired from the journey, turned over, lay on their side on the couch, and waved to Xue Wei, "You little pet, come over here, give me a favor." I squeeze my shoulder."
Xue Wei got slapped just now, and was called a male favorite by Rong Ju, and he was already on fire. What he didn't know was that he was actually the most angry when he saw the leader of Huaiyi holding Rong Ju .
Xue Wei stood at the door of the camp with a cold face and didn't move. Rong Ju chuckled and said, "Why, is it delicious? You look so frightening with your doting eyes?"
Seeing Rong Ju's smug smile, Xue Wei thought it was very eye-catching, so he walked over step by step, showing a gloomy smile, and said, "Didn't Rong Xiang say that the minister is a white-eyed wolf who eats meat? The minister only eats meat." Meat, how can it taste? Now...is it time to eat meat?"
Ji Lin and Qi Lu's side, according to the plan, was going to start delivering food and grass the next day. These food and grass had to be thrown away so that Rong Ju could gain Huaiyi's trust.
Because food and grass must be thrown away, soldiers and horses must be defeated badly. Who will lead the troops is a problem. Fierce defeat also requires skills. If not done well, it will cause fire.
Young Master Feng took the initiative to ask for orders, saying: "The emperor rescued Song Guo only because the emperor was lenient and benevolent, and Song Gong fell into the hands of Huaiyi. In the final analysis, it was our Song Guo's business. Now that he is in danger, how can Feng let others lead him? For the people of the Song Dynasty, I have an inescapable responsibility, and I ask the emperor to agree, and Feng is willing to go!"
Young Master Feng is willing to lead the army to escort food and grass. He usually talks very little and looks like a nobleman, but in fact Young Master Feng is outstanding in martial arts. best candidate.
Ji Lin agreed to Young Master Feng's request, and asked Young Master Feng to gather his men and horses, and leave the city with food and supplies. Before leaving, Ji Lin was still exhorting, saying, "Don't fight head-on with the Huaiyi people and make a retreat. Just look good, don't take risks."
Young Master Feng was dressed in black armor, a scarlet cloak, and a sword at his waist. Whether it was the black jacket or the scarlet cloak, they all formed a sharp contrast with his pale face.
The young master Feng has a pair of eyes that do not want to have any desires, and usually cannot make any waves, but now he is squinting, his black eyes are rolling with waves, and he said to the emperor, "Please rest assured, Feng Xing will not disgrace his life!"
Ji Lin and Qi Lu sent Young Master Feng to the city gate, and soon watched Young Master Feng lead a team of troops out of the city, whistling with dust, and this pair of people only had 50 people, and they also brought a lot of supplies and food. ...
Young Master Feng's team quickly set off on the road, rushed out of the city gate of Xue Kingdom, and followed the planned route along the mountain road. Because the carts were full of grain and grass, the ruts of the carts were deeply imprinted in the soil.
The group of people was not slow. After passing through a section of mountain road, they quickly entered the forest where Xue Guo and Xu Guo joined. Because the wheel of the cart was stuck by a stone, it turned over all of a sudden, and "Boom—" spilled grain all over the ground.
"what happened?!"
"Quick, pack up the food and grass!"
"Move fast! Move fast!"
The convoy stopped temporarily and quickly packed up the food and grass. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of "Shusu... Susu...", as if it was the sound of the wind blowing the jungle, which was really inconspicuous in this huge jungle .
The grass was fluctuating, and just as the team was about to set off, they suddenly heard the voice of "Kill!!", and ambush soldiers quickly poured out from the undulating grass. The clothes of the ambush soldiers were different from theirs, and they could be identified as Huaiyi people at a glance. .
Young Master Feng only brought fifty soldiers and horses with him, and Huai Yi dispatched twice as many soldiers as them. They quickly drove away the grain and grass soldiers. After pretending for a while, he immediately said: "Quick! Retreat!!"
"retreat--"
"Retreat! Retreat!"
All of a sudden, the ranks were in disarray, and the soldiers abandoned their heavy grain trucks one after another, turned around and ran away without their helmets and armor. The soldiers in Huaiyi immediately laughed when they saw this scene.
"Rong Ju really didn't lie to us!"
"Food! It's really grain!"
"Hahaha, I guess he wouldn't dare to lie to our king!"
"Hurry up, pack up the food and grass, and withdraw the troops!"
The Huaiyi people robbed the grain and grass, and did not chase after the tiger army that escorted the grain and grass. After all, they didn't have many troops, and it would be miserable if they encountered an ambush.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of "tapping, treading" horseshoes. I heard that the sound was weak, and the sound of horseshoes was very leisurely.
Huaiyi's soldiers and horses immediately stood on guard and looked in the direction of the sound of the horse's hooves. Sure enough, they saw a man in black armor and a scarlet cloak turning back.
That man has a handsome face, but his complexion is extremely pale, his eyes are cold and unwavering, it is Young Master Feng!
Young Master Feng was riding on a horse and came slowly. There were no tiger and ben army around him, only him, as if he was out on a green trip.
Huaiyi soldiers were frightened by the appearance of young master Feng, and the leading general said: "Don't panic! He is alone! Surround me!"
Young Master Feng is alone, and there are 100 Huaiyi soldiers. No matter how powerful Young Master Feng is, it is impossible for one to fight against a hundred.The young master Feng was completely calm. He rode on the horse and came in front of the crowd, surrounded by them. Slowly, little by little, he pulled out the sword at his waist with a "chih--".
The Huaiyi soldiers and horses immediately stared at Young Master Feng vigilantly. At this moment, Young Master Feng threw the saber in his hand in front of those Huaiyi soldiers with a "snap!", with a smile on his lips, and said in a low voice: "Prince Song, Feng, please see your leader."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. It turned out that this pale man was Song's son Feng, who was also the cousin of Song Gong and Yi who had been arrested. Apart from Song Gong and Yi, only son Feng was the orthodox blood of Song.
Those soldiers looked at each other. Compared with the Huaiyi soldiers with many heads, Young Master Feng was only one person, but he looked unusually calm and dignified, as if the person surrounded was not him.
Young Master Feng said indifferently: "Feng has already disarmed, and he doesn't have any weapons on his body. Please see your king and tell me something important."
The leader of the soldiers said: "You are the son of the Song Dynasty? Why do you ask to see our king? I am afraid it is a fraud!"
Young Master Feng Youyou smiled, with a low "hehe" laugh in his throat, and said: "Everyone, don't worry too much, Feng is here to surrender, and Feng has brought the sincerity of surrender..."
Although the leader of Huaiyi said that he had to think about it, food and grass were a great temptation for them, so Rong Ju had the chance to win, so he didn't worry at all.
The night was getting darker, and suddenly a few soldiers entered the camp, Xue Wei stared at them warily, and those soldiers said: "The grain and grass that Rongxiang said is indeed true, the king has intercepted the grain and grass, very happy, so Please move forward, go to the food and grass garrison camp, and discuss the big plan together!"
Rong Ju smiled, he was waiting for this moment, selling some grain and grass, just to win the trust of the Huaiyi people, as long as Rong Ju entered the camp where the grain and grass were stationed, he could inform the emperor and Qi Lu.
Rong Ju dusted off his robe, and said, "Then I'll be able to lead the way?"
The soldiers led Rong Ju and Xue Wei, and turned around in the jungle for a long time. The front suddenly became clear, and they really saw a huge camp. He couldn't help chuckling, everything was under his control.
When Rong Ju and Xue Wei walked into the camp, they heard the sound of "Tat Tat Tat Tat!", and in an instant, dozens of Huaiyi soldiers rushed up and quickly surrounded Rong Ju and Xue Wei, their swords facing each other.
Rong Ju was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Everyone, don't get me wrong, everyone is our own."
"Our own?" Huaiyi's leader came out, it was the big man from before, and the big man smiled and said, "What is your own?"
Rong Ju smiled and said, "My lord, what do you mean? Didn't Rong Ju just snatch the emperor's food and grass for you, we are all on our own."
"Really?" The leader of Huaiyi said with a smile: "Rong Ju, Rong Ju, you are so eloquent! I was almost deceived by you! It is clear that you and the emperor of Zhou conspired against us! You plan to make some food and grass as a Bait, lure us out, right?!"
Rong Ju's eyes twitched slightly, but of course he refused to admit it, and said, "My lord, why do you think so? I injured the master of the emperor of Zhou, and the emperor will not allow me, why should I work for him?"
"Because you're cunning enough!" Huaiyi's leader said, "You pretended to surrender and used food and grass as bait in order for me to bring you to the garrison camp, and then set fire to my food and grass, didn't you? "
Xue Wei didn't know that these Huaiyi people had heard of the plan in this way, and he didn't know which link had a problem. He only knew that although he and Rong Ju had come to Huaiyi's camp, they were already surrounded. If you are not careful, you may be doomed!
Just as Rong Ju wanted to quibble, the Huaiyi leader said, "I know you are eloquent. Well, I have someone who can confront you face to face! Ask him to come out!"
The soldier responded immediately, and soon led a man in black armor to come face to face. The man was tall and straight, handsome and indifferent. His black armor set off his icy temperament. There were dark waves hidden in his desireless black eyes, and the corners of his lips But he sneered slightly.
"Young Master Feng?!" Rong Ju was shocked when he saw Young Master Feng.
Xue Wei was also shocked, and immediately protected Rong Ju behind him, because he knew that all plans would fail...
Young Master Feng was invited out by soldiers from Huaiyi. He clearly smiled, but there was no smile in what he said. He said indifferently, "Why, Rongxiang doesn't want to see Feng?"
Rong Ju's face turned pale in an instant, he no longer had the usual chance of winning, he gritted his back teeth and said, "Mr. Song, why are you here?"
Young Master Feng said: "Naturally, he came here to surrender. Why? Only tolerance is allowed, Feng is not allowed to surrender. In this world, how can there be such a reason? Yes, because of Rong's surrender, it is a fake surrender."
Rong Ju's heart was jumping with fear, he only felt his lips were chapped, he kept pursing them, revealing a trace of nervousness, his palms were covered with cold sweat, he never expected that his plan would go wrong.
Young Master Feng said: "You don't have to pretend to be Rong Xiang. Feng has already explained everything to the king, and I would like to thank Rong Xiang for his food and grass."
The leader of Huaiyi waved his hand and said: "Get escorted, a minister of the state of Xu, and a son of the state of Xue. Well, we have gained two points of confidence in negotiating with the Zhou people!"
The soldiers rushed up quickly, Xue Wei was protecting Rongju, but there were so many Huaiyi people, Xue Wei was no match for these people, Xue Wei was punched hard in the stomach, and the whole person "Boom!" Knelt on the ground can't get up.
Rong Ju immediately rushed over to help Xue Wei, and said fiercely: "Young Master Feng! How dare you betray the Son of Heaven?!"
Young Master Feng said lightly: "Tell me? I am the orthodox of the Song Kingdom. I was defeated and captured by the barbarians. The Son of Heaven could directly seal me as the King of the Song Kingdom, but he still refuses to do so. Tell me, why should I worship him?" To be the master?!"
Xue Wei was injured and didn't bring it up, and passed out directly. Rong Ju didn't know martial arts, and soon the two of them were dragged down by soldiers, locked in a tent, and strictly guarded.
The leader of Huaiyi looked at Young Master Feng and said with a smile: "Thanks to the help of Young Master Song, otherwise we would have fallen into the trick of the emperor!"
Young Master Feng said coldly: "It's just mutual benefit, as long as the king can help me ascend to the throne of the Song Dynasty, Feng doesn't want to care about anything else."
"Okay!" The leader of Huaiyi said: "Cheerful! Mr. Song is a refreshing person, come, please take credit! I have prepared good wine, and I have a small profit."
Young Master Feng is very cold
