spring and autumn officials

It's just that I haven't seen Da Sikong's face.

Everyone greeted each other, and after a commotion, someone said: "The Son of Heaven is here!"

"The Son of Heaven is also here to attend the birthday banquet."

Qi Lu looked at the door, and sure enough, he saw Ji Lin coming. Ji Lin was not wearing court robes today, but was wearing black casual clothes without a crown. Although he was not as majestic and ruthless as in the past, it was more youthful and handsome, and he was alive A piece of fresh meat.

When Ji Lin walked in, everyone immediately greeted the Son of Heaven, and Qi Lu also bowed down and bowed his hands to pay respects. Ji Lin was led by members of the Yin family all the way. I pounced on my face, it was fragrant, a smell of incense.

Not only that, the emperor's fingers were still gently rubbing against Qi Lu's cheek, who was bowing his head, and he really played the word "cheating" to the fullest.

As soon as the emperor arrived, everyone immediately quieted down. Ji Lin walked to the upper seat and sat down, and then said: "You don't need to be polite, please get up."

After thanking them, everyone stood up and took their seats one after another. After a while, they saw Yin's housekeeper walking out slowly with the help of an elderly man.

The old man's hair was like silver snow, without a single black hair, his whole body was trembling, but his waist was straight, with a cane in his hand, he walked into the banquet with the knocking sound of "dong dong dong".

The old man's face was very kind, he was the elder of the dynasty, Yin Zi who lived in Da Sikong, Da Sikong slowly bowed to Ji Lin, Ji Lin stretched out his sleeves, helped Yin Zi, and said, "Don't be too polite, Da Sikong Well, today is Da Sikong's birthday banquet, so please come to the table as you please."

Yin Zi thanked the Son of Heaven tremblingly again, and said: "Although I am the master of today's banquet, the Son of Heaven is the master of my Great Zhou Dynasty. How dare I take pride in the presence of the Son of Heaven? I thank the Son of Heaven."

Only then was Yin Zi supported by the housekeeper, walked into the banquet and sat down.

Sitting on the table, Qi Lu swept his eyes and took a panoramic view of the surrounding area. The emperor came, but there was still a seat that was empty. No one came. I don't know why, but it was later than the emperor came. , You are late for the birthday party?

Qi Lu was observing like this, and suddenly found something very strange, there were not many people in Yin's seat, and the woman was actually sitting in front of the man.Although in this era, women are also very independent, not as restrictive as the Song Dynasty and other dynasties, but the status of women is still lower than that of men, and the Yin family is different. The Yin family actually has women sitting in front, and some seats are only woman.

Qi Lu's eyes flickered here and there, Hei Jian was sitting next to him, and said lightly: "It's the first time for the Taifu to come to Da Sikong's mansion, and it really feels a little strange."

As he spoke, he glanced at Guo Gongji's father beside him, and said, "Guo Gong and Da Sikong are so familiar, why don't you explain to the Taifu?"

Guogong Ji's father scratched the back of his head, and said enthusiastically to Qi Lv, "Brother Qi, you don't know anything. There are only a few people in Yin's house, and there are no males."

It turned out that the heirs of the great Sikong Yinzi withered.In fact, Qi Lu felt that the people in Da Sikong's family were not dying at all, but there were only women in the family, not many men.

Da Sikong is all daughters and has only one son, so many of them are sons-in-law recruited in. Naturally, the daughter sits in the front and the son-in-law sits in the back.

And Da Sikong, the only son, died too early, so now he has no son, and he also got married before his son died, but there are also no males, and Da Sikong has no grandsons, granddaughters are old and young, so a banquet has become like this scene.

Da Sikong is old now, everything is hereditary these days, Da Sikong himself wants to recommend his son to be an official, inherit his position as Sikong, but his son left too early, and he has no grandson, so once Da Sikong lets go , I don't know who should take this position.

Today, so many high officials came to Da Sikong's birthday banquet, many of them actually came to be Da Sikong's son-in-law or grandson-in-law. As long as they become Da Sikong's disciples, why not get a recommendation?

Duke Zhou gave a black-shouldered smile, and said: "Everyone else is rushing to curry favor with Da Sikong, but our Duke Guo is kind. We have refused the marriage proposed by Da Sikong so hard..."

Hei Jian looked at Ji's father and said, "Could it be that Duke Guo is hiding someone in his heart?"

When Qi Lv heard this, he immediately looked at Guo Gongji's father gossipingly. Guo Gongji's father is not too young. He should be married at this age, but Ji's father is still alone. Could it be that there is really something white moonlight cinnabar in Guo Gong's heart? mole?

Guogong Ji's father smiled honestly and said: "Who can Ji's father have in mind? It's just that he has no intention of starting a family and doesn't want to drag other girls down."

When he said this, Duke Zhou Heijian's face turned ugly instantly, and he stopped talking to Father Guo Gongji, and he acted as if he hadn't heard Father Ji's call.

Qi Lv's seat happened to sit between the two of them, and now it's all right, Guo Gong and Ji's father always called Hei Jian through himself, but Hei Jian ignored him, obviously he didn't want to talk to Ji's father, but Ji's father was more honest, Said to Qi Lu: "Brother Qi Lu, call Zhou Gong for me."

Qi Lu: "..." Lu is also very embarrassed.

The emperor ordered the banquet to open, and everyone was about to toast the emperor and Da Sikong, at this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of "tattling" footsteps, and someone walked into the banquet again.

Qi Lu looked up and saw that the people who came were not young or old, a group of people, the leader was a young man, tall and straight, with the temperament of a military general, although he did not wear a jacket, but the whole person looked majestic, followed by Many people in Chinese robes walked in in gangs.

When Qi Lu looked at the person in the lead, his heart became clear for a moment. These people who just came in were from the Wu family.

The missing seat at the banquet is the seat of the Wu family, even the emperors came, but the people of the Wu family came late, how crazy it really is.

As I said before, in addition to Zhou Gong, there are two big families in this royal family, one is the Da Sikong Yin family, and the other is the Da Sima Wu family.

Sima Wu's family, like Sikong's Yin's, were conferred by King Ping of Zhou. Sikong was in charge of construction, while Sima was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Eighth Division of Zhou. They were both important officials. The Wu and Yin families also gradually grew.

In this way, there is a problem, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female.The Gong clan and Qing clan of Zheng State can fight each other, not to mention the Yin and Wu clans of royal officials?

At first, the relationship between the Yin family and the Wu family was very harmonious. The Yin family was in charge of Sikong's civil engineering and was a civil official, while the Wu family was in charge of Sima's military affairs and was a military officer. They did not interfere with each other. , There is no distinction between three, six, nine, etc.

At that time, Yin's family was Da Sikong Yinzi as the patriarch, while Wu's was the old patriarch of the year as the patriarch. The two families also established an in-law relationship. Alright doll pro.

But unexpectedly, with the death of the old suzerain of the Wu family, the relationship between the Wu family and the Yin family was complicated in the court, so the relationship between the two families gradually began to deteriorate, and now it is out of control.

Yin Zi is old and has been exhausted until now, and the suzerain of the Wu family has changed, and it is said that he is now the grandson of the old suzerain. The young suzerain of the Wu family is named Wu Man, who is the tall and straight young man who walked in first.

Wu Man was young, and he was the official residence of the Grand Sima. He inherited the position of Sima from his father. Regardless of his young age, he was outstanding in both military and martial arts, and his strength was boundless. Young and frivolous, but the future is indeed limitless.

Wu Man came late with Wu's people, today is Yin Zi's birthday, Yin and Wu have been at odds for a long time, now seeing that Wu's family came later than the emperor, he immediately raised an issue, saying: "Wu Man ! As a courtier of the emperor, you dare to let the emperor and elders wait when you come to the birthday banquet, did your Wu family teach you such etiquette?"

Wuman stood upright, tall and straight, first bowed his hands to salute the emperor, and then sneered, his face was handsome, like a sharp sword, and when he smiled, there was a sharp edge mixed in, extremely frivolous, but Wuman was so young when he was young. Among the generations, there is frivolous capital.

Wu Man said, "Who says I'm here for a birthday banquet?"

The people of the Yin family said: "You are not here to attend the birthday banquet, what are you here for?"

Qi Lu silently took a mouthful of meat and put it in his mouth. While eating and watching the play, he complained in his heart about Yin Shi's eyes and Da Sima's posture, obviously he was here to kick the hall.

That's right, Qi Lv guessed it right, in fact, there is no need to guess at all, Wu Man just came to find it unhappy.

Today is Yin Zi's birthday, the Wu family and the Yin family are at odds, how can we miss this great opportunity to find fault?

Wu Man raised his chin and said, "I'm here today to join your Yin family in front of the emperor!"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said to Ji Lin: "The Son of Heaven has shown that the Yin family is rampant, relying on the fact that the Yin family is the elder of the two dynasties, they run rampant among the Luo divisions. A few days ago, the Yin family indulged the disciples and cut off the harvest from my Wu family. "

As soon as Wu Man finished speaking, some members of the Yin family couldn't sit still, "Bang!" He stood up and said, "Wu Man, don't spit blood! We cut off your seedlings? Why don't you say, A few days ago, it was your Wu family who took the lead and burned our Yin family's wheat?!"

When Qi Lv heard this, he felt a bit big-headed. Mrs. Wu burned Mrs. Yin's wheat, and Mrs. Yin cut off Mrs. Wu's seedlings?Why does it sound like kids fighting?Then don't use food as a raft.

Wu Man smiled coldly, the sharpness on his face became even sharper, and he said: "Then why don't you ask me why the people from the Wu family burned your wheat? The people from the Yin family are so shameless, thick and smelly, they molested me in the street The female family members of the Wu family, is there such a thing?"

"That's...that's..."

Both sides were turning over old accounts, and Ji Lin's forehead was throbbing with veins. He came to attend the banquet today, not to listen to the fight between the two sides. .

Ji Lin said coldly, "Enough."

As soon as his words fell, the two sides stopped talking, but Wu Man was very unconvinced, thinking about it, and wanted to continue the debate.

At this time Da Sikong Yinzi stood up tremblingly, the housekeeper hurriedly helped Yinzi up, Da Sikong cupped his hands, and said: "Da Sima, my Yin family is not strict in discipline, and the old man is here, I will accompany you No, do you think it's okay?"

Yin Zi and Wu Man's grandfather were of the same generation back then, and they were also of Wu Man's grandfather's generation. Now that Yin Zi stood up and apologized to the younger generation, everyone was surprised, and Qi Lv took another look at Yin Zi. .

To put it bluntly, nobles value skin more than anything else. Nowadays, no one knows whether the Yin family is more reasonable or the Wu family is more reasonable, but Yin Zi apologizes first, or to his grandson Wuman, Needless to say, this temperament.

Yin Zi stood up and apologized, the members of the Yin family were aggrieved, but they didn't dare to say anything, Wu Man was also a little surprised, his haughty face couldn't hold back a little, and he let go and said: "Even so, let's do it like this, I will The Wu family also has something wrong, and Wu Man is also going to accompany Da Sikong."

Sure enough, Jiang was still old and hot, and Yin Zi stood up to apologize first. Although Wu Man looked arrogant, he was not unreasonable. He also bowed his hands and resolved a farce.

Yin Zi smiled again and said: "Since Da Sima is here, how about having two glasses of thin wine at the table?"

The Son of Heaven was also present, Wu Man couldn't refuse, he clearly came to kick the hall, but he actually sat down to participate in the banquet.

Seeing that the two sides stopped arguing, Ji Lin's complexion improved a bit. The birthday banquet officially started, and everyone was relieved from the embarrassing atmosphere and began to toast.

Qi Lu was sitting at the banquet, and the emperor walked over quickly. Taking advantage of the few people toasting, he came to talk to Qi Lu. Just now everyone was watching the kicking hall, and only Qi Lu was delicious. At this time The pretense of broth was still hanging on his mouth, but he didn't feel it at all.

Ji Lin chuckled, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and gently wiped Qi Lu's mouth. Clean and nothing.

Qi Lu turned his head and looked left and right, acting like a thief, for fear that someone would see the emperor wiping his mouth, this place is no different than in the Song Dynasty, this is Master Luo, and a bunch of royal nobles are staring at him, if someone sees this ...

Just as Qi Lu thought of this, he suddenly met a pair of eyes, wasn't it the eyes of the Royal Chief Sima Wuman?Just now when Ji Lin wiped Qi Lu's mouth, Wu Man saw it clearly and clearly!

Qi Lu coughed quickly, pretended to be serious, and said: "The Son of Heaven should go back to his seat quickly, many officials are waiting to toast."

Ji Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "You can go back, but the Taifu will definitely promise you not to drink alcohol, not even a sip."

Ji Lin knew very well that Qi Lu's drinking capacity should not be enough, as long as one sip is too much, Qi Lu bit the bullet and agreed, saying: "Okay, the Son of Heaven, go back quickly."

Ji Lin warned again, after all, Taifu Qi was too wild after drinking, and Ji Lin was too busy with socializing for a while, so he was afraid that he would not be able to handle it.

Ji Lin left quickly, and when he got back to the banquet, he was immediately surrounded. A bunch of high officials toasted and complimented him, and they were instantly submerged in the sea of ​​compliments.

After the Son of Heaven left, Qi Lu felt a gaze fixed on him all the time, and looked sideways, wasn't it Da Sima Wuman?Wu Man had just seen the intimate movements of the Son of Heaven and Qi Lu, now he met Qi Lu's eyes, and immediately smiled, the smile was ruffian, and there was also a hint of stubbornness.

Qi Lu ignored Wu Man's gaze, but he kept staring at him, so Qi Lu had no choice but to get out of his seat, intending to take a break nearby and come back later.

Qi Lu came out of the Yan Drinking Hall. The Yin family's garden was very spectacular and extravagant, much more luxurious than Qi Lu's Grand Tutor's Mansion. Qi Lu's money was all spent on prickly ash, and he had no money to plant flowers. Manpower was used to take care of it, and Qi Lu didn't have the money to hire servants, so he simply left the garden of the mansion in disrepair.

Qi Lu walked into the garden, blowing the cool breeze, feeling quite comfortable, at this moment, suddenly heard a "rustling" sound, something suddenly approaching from behind, Qi Lu was startled, turned around quickly, "Boom! "He bumped into that person with a sound.

The other party grabbed Qi Lu, smiled lightly and whispered in Qi Lu's ear, "Didn't you scare Taifu Qi?"

Qi Luding saw it with his own eyes, and it turned out to be Da Sima Wuman, and Wuman also came out of the Yanyin Hall, following Qi Lu all the way, Qi Lu pulled his arm out of Wuman's hand, and took half a step back .

Wu Man is tall, although he is not as tall as Ji Lin, but he is also much taller than Qi Lu, and he feels oppressive, especially because he always smiles sharply, and just now he met Qi Lu's eyes, At this time, the smile was even more meaningful.

Wu Man suddenly said: "What is the relationship between Qi Taifu and the Son of Heaven?"

Qi Lu narrowed his eyes, and said without a trace: "Da Sima was joking, he's just a monarch and minister."

Wu Man laughed, and walked towards Qi Lu, there were a few steps between him and Qi Lu, when Wu Man suddenly walked over, Qi Lu took a few steps back, "Bang!", and had already retreated to the corner of the wall Where there is no way to retreat.

Qi Lu wanted to get out of the way sideways, but Wu Man moved very quickly, as expected of a trainer, "Bang!", with a sound, he put his palm on the wall, and directly circled Qi Lu in the corner.

Now Qi Lu couldn't move, because the distance between the two of them was too close, Qi Lu frowned slightly, and Wu Man said with a smile: "Really? According to Yi Man, it's more than that?"

As Wu Man said, he raised his hand, touched Qi Lu's cheek lightly, and said, "It's just a relationship between the monarch and his ministers, why would the emperor wipe his face for Taifu Qi?"

Being touched by Wu Man, Qi Lu frowned even more, and pushed away Wu Man's hand.Wu Man grabbed Qi Lu's hand, pressed Qi Lu's wrist firmly against the wall, suddenly lowered his head, and whispered in Qi Lu's ear: "Teacher, don't worry, Man is not interested in men, he just wants to I have to warn the Taifu... I have seen a lot of you, the favored servant of the emperor, so stay away from the emperor, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

After finishing speaking, with a cold snort, Wu Man shook off Qi Lu's hand, and Shi Shiran left.

Qi Lu looked strangely at Wu Man who suddenly appeared and left again, full of doubts, what's going on, what's the matter with Wu Man's tone, a tone to prevent his own cabbage from being bullied by pigs?

Qi Lu flicked his wrist, this Wuman deserved to be extremely powerful, the legendary man who could lift the tooth flag with one hand, just now was held against his wrist, Qi Lu didn't have the strength to resist at all, his wrist was so sore .

Qi Lv walked back inexplicably, just after taking two steps, he suddenly heard the sound of "woo woo", as if someone was crying, in this dark sky, there was a thin sobbing sound coming from the empty garden, like a ghost movie The special effects are average.

Not only was there crying, but it was also mixed with laughter. Qi Lu followed the crying and walked a few steps, the sound became more real. Looking carefully, a woman fell on the ground in the garden, surrounded by several drunken men .

The woman looked very young, like a young girl, she fell to the ground, her palms were scratched, she looked very frightened, and whimpered softly, next to her were two big men, five big and three thick, with drunken faces and red faces, they were molesting that woman.

"Do you know who we are!?"

"We are members of the Wu family!"

"That's right, if you are a brother who follows us, you will be blessed in the future!"

"Who are you from the Yin family? Look at this, are you the granddaughter of old man Yin?"

The woman fell to the ground, her body was thin and thin, she covered her mouth and coughed continuously, she could see that she had a deficiency, and her coughing sound was like a kitten, her whole body was filled with a weak breath, she was alive A little white rabbit.

"I heard that old man Yin has a sick granddaughter, is that her?"

"This disease has become like this, don't you can't help us two toss, such a beautiful face, if you toss to death, how can you survive?"

Those two big men with yellow accents in their mouths stretched out their hands to grab the little girl on the ground, who was pulled up by them, crying and coughing at the same time.

Qi Lu looked at this scene, he was "threatened" by Wu Man just now, and now he saw the Wu family working for tigers, Qi Lu had the idea of ​​"hero saving the beauty" at that time, if it was normal, Qi Lu would naturally not Dare, but today is different, there are so many people in the banquet hall in front, and the emperor is there, Qi Lu is full of confidence, he immediately walked up and said: "What are you doing?"

The two big men wanted to drag the girl away, but Qi Lv came out suddenly. The two of them lacked confidence and were taken aback. Although they looked rampant, this was Yin's house, and the emperor was still at the banquet, so they didn't dare to make trouble too fierce.

The two big men were unwilling to let go of the little girl just like that, they stared at Qi Lu blankly, and said, "Who are you? Mind your own business, get out of here!"

Qi Lu chuckled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, but who you are. Today is Yin Zi's birthday banquet. If you two make a scandal, your young suzerain will definitely not be able to hold back your face. Apologize to Mrs. Yin face to face, tsk tsk, think about it, how should I deal with you when I go back?"

When the two big men heard this, they were already terrified, and now they were even more terrified, with panic in their eyes, but because they drank alcohol, they were so cowardly, they refused to let go of the little girl, and felt that once she let go, Losing face, he said, "Zhuzi, don't try to scare us, even if the young suzerain comes, we will..."

"Ouch!"

Before the big man's words fell to the ground, he suddenly screamed, "Boom!" All of a sudden, he rushed to the side and was kicked.

The big man was still holding the little girl who looked like a little white rabbit, and the little girl was caught and almost fell to the ground. Qi Lu had quick eyesight and quick hands, and grabbed the little girl.

The little girl fell into Qi Lu's arms. Qi Lu thought it was a hero saving the beauty, but when he took a closer look, his self-esteem was frustrated because the weak and slender girl was much taller than Qi Lu, not just a little taller. , but many...

The big man was kicked hard, and he yelled angrily: "Who the hell..."

The big man raised his fist and was about to beat up the person when he turned his head. When he fixed his eyes, his voice suddenly turned and he said tremblingly, "Zong...Young Sect Master..."

Wuman!

The person who kicked the big man was none other than Wuman. The big man just kept saying that even if Wuman came, it would be no problem, but now that he really saw the real master, he was instantly frightened are gone.

Wu Man's face was dark, and he stood with his hands behind his back. Standing in the dark night, he looked even taller and taller. His handsome face was full of evil spirits, and he said coldly: "My Wu family's face has been ruined by you."

The two big men knelt down, kowtowed hard and begged for mercy, and said, "Young Sect Master, please forgive me, please forgive me, never dare again, we never dare again."

Wu Man's face was very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Go and receive the punishment now, thirty lashes per person, go."

When the two of them heard Wu Man's words, their faces turned pale instantly. Thirty lashes doesn't sound like a lot, but Wu Man was talking about military whips. Generally, [-] lashes is already a severe punishment. Thirty lashes might not be enough. It is fatal.

The faces of the big men were livid, and they still wanted to beg for mercy, Wu Man raised his lips and smiled in the dark, and said, "Why, too little?"

"Don't dare dare!" The two big men didn't dare to say another word, and they left in a scrambling manner, only thinking that Wuman was a ghost-like existence.

The two big men ran away, leaving only Qi Lu, Wu Man and the little girl who looked like a little white rabbit.

Wu Man came over and helped the girl up, the little girl was terrified, Wu Man was very fierce just now, she was even more frightened, she hurriedly took several wrong steps and nearly fell to the ground.

"Be careful!" Wu Man quickly took a step forward and hugged the girl's slender waist. The little girl not only looked like a little rabbit, but also had a willow slender waist. coughing.

Wu Man hugged him in his arms, and immediately smelled a sweet fragrance of medicine, the girl's bunny-like eyes were full of timid horror, and the crystal tears rolled down, making Wu Man, who was still fierce just now, suddenly look at him. Stunned.

Qi Lv found out that he made light bulbs countless times today. Before that, it was Duke Zhou and Duke Guo who had a weird atmosphere, but now it was Wu Man who fell in love with this little rabbit-like girl at first sight. His eyes were shining brightly, and they were all intoxicated. If Wu Man just now Man is a mad dog, so now he instantly turns into a little milk dog.

Qi Lu's eyelids twitched, a hero and a beauty can be regarded as an official match, but Qi Lu discovered a fatal thing, that is, this little white rabbit is very big despite its frail figure, just now Qi Lu felt it, This girl's stature is taller than his own, and now by comparison, the girl's stature is not only taller than his own, but even taller than Da Sima Wuman.

The bunny-like girl was hugged by Wu Man, and she blushed immediately. At this moment, a maid's voice shouted: "Miss Si! Where are you, Miss Si?"

The girl was taken aback, she covered her mouth and coughed, she quickly got away and ran away, like a little rabbit, she immediately ran away and plunged into the darkness, the maid's exclamation was faintly heard in the distance: "Four Miss, the servant girl has found you, the wind is really strong at night, go back to your room quickly, lest you get sick!"

The little rabbit had already run away, but Wuman stood in a daze in the darkness with an idiot-like expression on his face, looking down at his hand that was wrapped around the little rabbit's waist, and murmured: "I... Did I see a fairy just now?"

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lu shook his head helplessly, originally he wanted to be a hero to save the beauty and build a good relationship with the Yin family, but in the end he became a martial arts hero to save the beauty, and his limelight was robbed.Qi Lu shook his head and wanted to leave. After taking two steps, there was a "Kara", as if he had kicked something. When he looked down, it was a pile of rotten wood.

The wood was broken, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that it had been carefully polished, not scrap wood. Qi Lu squatted on the ground and picked up the wood. It looked like a small miniature crossbow.

Qi Lu put the small crossbow in the palm of his hand and looked at it, Wu Man woke up from his obsession at this time, looked down at Qi Lu, didn't take it seriously, just about to leave, suddenly stopped, and also squatted down , to grab the small crossbow in Qi Lu's hand, Qi Lu was unprepared, and Wu Man grabbed both hands.

If Wu Man wanted to see the small crossbow, Qi Lu would definitely not refuse to give it to him, but Wu Man didn't say anything at all, he just held his hand and looked at the small crossbow, Qi Lu's eyelids twitched wildly, before Qi Lu could speak, Wu Man was already amazed, and said in shock: "This is actually a bow/crossbow that can fire continuously."

"Backfire?" Qi Lu was also taken aback.

Although the bow/crossbow was invented very early and was widely used in the Spring and Autumn Period, the bow/crossbow in the Spring and Autumn Period also had many disadvantages. Although the strength of the crossbow/arrow was very strong, it was severely stuck and could not be fired continuously, so it was easy on the battlefield. Was taken advantage of.

This small crossbow was actually designed in a bursting style. Although it was only a miniature model, Wu Man was amazed, and Qi Lu was even more surprised, because if Qi Lu guessed correctly, this small crossbow should be the little white rabbit just now. For those who remained, the two big men molested the little white rabbit, who fell to the ground and crushed the little crossbow.

Just when Wu Man and Qi Lu were amazed, they suddenly heard the sound of "treading" footsteps, and a piece of black clothes fell down, appearing in front of Qi Lu and Wu Man who were "holding hands".

The movements of the two people were very unified, looking up along the hem of the clothes, first saw the long legs against the sky, then saw the strong waist, and then saw the unhappy handsome face of the emperor.

The Son of Heaven was toasting toasts surrounded by the Qing doctors. He turned his head and disappeared Qi Lu. He was worried about Qi Lu and immediately went to look for him. Who knew that he saw Qi Lu and Wu Man in the garden. More than that, the two Individuals also held hands.

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes, looked down at the two squatting on the ground condescendingly, and said, "Teacher and Da Sima, why are they hiding here and still being so close?"

Wu Man quickly stood up and said: "Who, who is getting close to this pet?"

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and made a gesture to hit Wu Man, and said, "You brat, don't you want to hit me?"

Wu Man didn't speak, and ran away in a blink of an eye, Qi Lu was dumbfounded, the relationship between the Son of Heaven and Da Sima, isn't it a little too...intimate?

The alarm bells in Qi Lu's heart rang loudly, before Ji Lin "questioned" why Qi Lu was so close to Wu Man, Qi Lu said instead: "The Son of Heaven and Da Sima seem to be very easy-going."

Ji Lin narrowed his eyes, as if smelling a little sour smell, he deliberately said: "Yes, the Taifu may not know something, this Wuman and the widow are very familiar since childhood, in fact Wuman is also a disciple of Duke Guo, so The widow and Wuman are from the younger ones, and they grew up stubborn together."

The relationship between the royal family is really complicated. The Yin family and the Wu family are at odds. There is you without me, and I have no you. However, Guo Gongji’s father and Yin Zi are friends who have forgotten years, and the young suzerain of the Wu family is Guo Gongji’s father’s apprentice. Guo Gong's position also overlaps with that of Sima Duo, so that Guo Gong Ji's father is almost caught between the Yin family and the Wu family.

The most important thing is that Wuman is the apprentice of Lord Guo, that is to say, Wuman and the emperor are brothers. younger brother.

Wuman has not been in the court recently, and it is also because Zhou Gongheijian knew that Wuman and Ji Lin were close, so he deliberately transferred Wuman out as an envoy, removed Wuman's power from Luoshi, and accepted Sima's soldiers. horse.Now that Heijian has surrendered to the emperor, Wuman naturally returned to Luoshi.

When Qi Lu heard this, he felt sore right away. The emperor had a childhood sweetheart Zheng Ji a few days ago. Zheng Bo wanted Zheng Ji to marry the emperor, and now there is another junior brother. No wonder Wu Man asked Qi Lu to leave the emperor. farther away.Qi Lu rubbed his chin, this Wuman looks like a brother-in-law...

Seeing Qi Lu squinting his eyes in a daze, Ji Lin smiled and said, "Teacher, have you tasted it yet?"

Qi Lu knew that the emperor did it on purpose. After all, the emperor's "show off" face was too much like a big dog, so he chuckled and said, "Lu Xishi eats spicy food, sour taste, so-so, if you say What taste is better than spicy, then... only Lin'er."

Ji Lin wanted to see how the Taifu tasted. After all, the emperor usually drank bitter wine with his arms. Qi Taifu seemed to have no taste at all. Today, he finally waited for a chance, but who would have thought that Qi Law teased.

Tianzi's breathing stopped, his eyes suddenly became deep, and he stretched out his arms to wrap around Qi Lu's waist, and the two of them hid directly among the flowers next to them.Ji Lin planted a kiss on Qi Lu's lips, and said in a low voice, "Teacher, you called me so nicely, please call me again."

Yinzi is getting old, and the birthday banquet ended very quickly. When everyone left Da Sikong's mansion, it was just getting dark, and Qi Lu's lips were a little hot. The emperor was like a big dog, and his mouth was about to be gnawed. .

He and the emperor came out of Da Sikong's mansion one after the other. The emperor got into the carriage first, and Qi Lu made a mistake to get on the carriage secretly. Then he heard a sudden laughter and the sound of beating a horse. , Said: "Teacher Qi, what a coincidence, are you going back to the palace? Let's drop by."

Qi Lu's eyelids twitched, the crazy voice was so familiar, wasn't it the elder brother controlling Sima Wuman?

Qi Lv still maintained the posture of pedaling, looked up, it was indeed Wu Man, Wu Man had a clear face, even a blind person could tell who owned this cart.

At this time, the emperor opened the curtain of the car, and said with an upright face: "I invite the grand tutor to join the ride, does Da Sima have any opinions?"

Wu Man was speechless for a while, but said: "The humble general will escort the emperor back to the palace, lest some people murder my king." He also stared at Qi Lv, clearly looking at Hu Meizi's eyes.

Qi Lu touched his face, his appearance is not bad, but it is not so exaggerated as a vixen?A person like Gongsun Hua is a standard vixen.

When Qi Lu got into the carriage, Ji Lin said, "Don't pay attention to him."

The chariot headed for the palace, and Wuman followed the chariot on horseback, like an idiot. Ji Lin and Qi Lu were in the chariot. Ji Lin sighed and said: "Before Wuman was not in the court, Yin and Wu It's better to compete with each other, now that this kid has returned to the court, the Wu clan seems like a wild dog let loose, and immediately burst into joy, how can a bowl of water be flat, the widow's head hurts."

The Wu family and the Yin family are both big families of the royal family. If Ji Lin can't control these two families, the royal family will not be stable either.Qi Lu's eyes moved slightly, and it suddenly occurred to him that Wu Man seemed to have fallen in love with Yin Zi's granddaughter just now, and said with a smile: "The emperor wants a bowl of water to be flat, why not give him a marriage? Don't Yin and Wu still have a marriage contract in front of them?" ?”

Indeed, Yin Zi had a marriage contract with the old head of the Wu family. At that time, the relationship between the two families was very good. Wu Man should marry Yin Zi's granddaughter as Mrs. Da Sima, but because of the deterioration of the family relationship, the engagement was annulled. Of.

Ji Lin chuckled lightly and said, "If the Yin and Wu families can really get married, why should I be so worried? The other big families all wish they could get on with their in-laws and form a clique for personal gain, but Wu and Yin's What about Shi? Even if you kill him, you won’t get married.”

Qi Lv said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. Find an opportunity another day. The emperor can set up a banquet and invite the Yin family and the Wu family to attend. On the one hand, we can have a blind date with Da Sima, and on the other hand, we can also mediate the relationship between the Yin family and the Wu family." , isn't it good?"

If Wu Man can really see eye to eye with the little white rabbit of the Yin family, Qi Lu can be considered to have solved his serious problem, and the emperor can calm down the royal family, so why not do it?

"Ah Choo!" Wu Man, who was following outside on horseback, suddenly sneezed for some reason. He only felt his nose itchy, and he didn't know who was burying him behind his back.

Qi Lu had a bad idea in his heart, and this bad idea was very good, he smiled very happily, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Yes, Lu also prepared some snacks and gifts for the emperor today, just put them on the table into the cart."

Today Qi Lu is not just for Yin Zi
