spring and autumn officials
Chapter 90 There is a grudge!
why is it you again?
Qi Lu really wanted to know how many holes this "original owner" had left for him. Last time, Mr. Wan was the one, and this time another Yu Yu came.
Qi Lv had made a promise with the emperor before, and had nothing to do with Yu Yu, but now he's better, and instantly turned into a sweet-talking pig's trotter.
Yu bent the bow to shoot the arrow, squinted his eyes at Qi Lu, and only said "Is it you?", leaving Qi Lu with countless questions, so he didn't say anything else.
Qi Lu didn't have time to take care of Youyu, and looked at the cold arrow that had just been stuck on the top of the wall, and there was a small sheepskin scroll on the arrow, which was obviously a letter.
Qi Lu immediately pulled out the cold arrow, and shook the lambskin with a clatter. There were not many words on it, but it was a blackmail letter.
It said that the daughter of Qi State and the special envoy of Qi State, Gongsun Wuzhi, were plundered by them. If they wanted to exchange the daughter and special envoy of Qi State, they would have to exchange countless grains and money. It also wrote the time and place of exchanging the country girl and the special envoy.
When Ji Lin saw it, he squinted his eyes, and his complexion was immediately ugly, and instantly darkened, as dark as a cloudy and rainy day, and it was about to thunder and rain.
The mountain bandits actually robbed the mission of Qi State, not only the daughter of the country, but also the special envoy. This man is the son of heaven, and his face is dull.
Ji Lin stared coldly at Yu Yu, the leader of the horse bandits downstairs, but Yu Yu didn't look at Ji Lin at all, but stared at Qi Lv instead.The distance was very far, but Ji Lin could be sure that Yu Yu's gaze had been fixed on Qi Lv all the time, and he never missed a single mistake.
At the end, You Yu slowly smiled at Qi Lu with a deep meaning, then suddenly drank the horse and turned the horse's head, and the horse thief behind him also turned the horse's head, as if to run away.
Ji Lin was furious. The gang of Shanrong people had slapped them all the way to the door. Ji Lin took a look around and found that there were not many of them. If they pursue now, they might be able to wipe out these arrogant Shanrong people.
Immediately Ji Lin drew out his sword with a "chi--" and said, "Zhu Dan, dispatch a team of soldiers and horses to pursue immediately with the widow."
Qi Lv was surprised that the Son of Heaven wanted to go after the Shanrong people himself.The Shanrong people are tough and good at fighting, and the Son of Heaven is indeed outstanding in martial arts, but firstly, he is not familiar with the terrain of Fanguo, secondly, he is not familiar with the fighting style of the Shanrong people, and thirdly... the Shanrong people hit the gate of the city of Fanguo, which shows that they are prepared and ready. Come on, if Ji Lin is impulsive, he may suffer.
Qi Lv didn't have time to stop him. After all, the Son of Heaven was young and full of vigor. Shanrong's horse thieves had already bullied him to the door and sent him a blackmailing book. How could Ji Lin swallow this.
Immediately, Ji Lin took Zhu Dan and quickly opened the gate of the city. The gate of Fanguo made a loud bang, like the fangs of a wild beast, and opened quickly. He jumped out of the door and chased the Shanrong people in front of him all the way.
Qi Lu was worried, and immediately told Fan Bo, "Hurry up, the archers are ready."
Fan Kingdom has never dared to challenge the Shanrong people head-on. Three months ago, the prince of Fan Kingdom led the army to go out, but he never returned, which made Fan Kingdom feel ashamed. Now seeing the emperor personally chasing him, Fan Bo was frightened With a pale face, he shouted: "Hurry up! Archers!"
The soldiers of Fan Kingdom immediately bowed their bows and ambushed on the city gate, ready to shoot arrows in the distance, covering the elite tiger ben who rushed out to pursue them.
Qi Lu narrowed his eyes and made a quick decision: "Let the arrow!"
"Fire arrows!"
"Shoot arrows!!"
"Whizzing--"
"Whoosh whoosh—"
Arrows shot out of the air, and powerful crossbows/arrows quickly flew to the distance, like a big net, instantly covering the Shan Rong team running in front, blocking their way.
Yu Yu rode on the black steed, and pulled the bridle suddenly. The horse was very nimble, and in the blink of an eye, it bypassed several flying crossbows/arrows, only to hear the sound of "Doo Do Do!" The crossbow/arrow was inserted into the yellow ground, and several large holes were poked out in an instant, and the stone ground made a cracking sound.
Arrows flew like rain, stopping the Shanrong people from escaping, but soon, the Ji Lin and Huben army behind them had already caught up. If they shoot again at this time, it is likely that they will not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. Qi Lv immediately raised his hand , said: "Stop!"
The soldiers of Fan Kingdom immediately stopped shooting arrows, and the arrows that had been flying like a shower stopped suddenly, and there was only the sound of "boom—" horseshoes in front of the gate of Fan Kingdom.
The Shan Rong horse thief wanted to escape, but was stopped by the arrow rain. Seeing the elite tiger army rushing behind him, the Shan Rong seemed a little flustered. Yu Yu raised his whip and shouted: "Don't panic! Let's fight!"
"嗤——" was the sound of swords being drawn, and the distance between the teams on both sides shortened rapidly. Standing on the tower, Qi Lu saw that the two black pieces finally bordered, and the sound of weapons clashing came to the tower.
Qi Lu narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hands to hold the tower, stared closely at the battlefield under the tower, and saw Ji Lin in black robe at a glance.
Ji Lin was wearing a black robe, riding on a white horse, completely eye-catching. He rushed to the front, quickly knocked down several horse thieves off the back of the horse, and directly met Yu Yu who was in the front.
Yu Yu narrowed his eyes, "Hey!" He drew out his sword, and the next moment there was a loud noise of "Dang--", Ji Lin's saber and Yu Yu's sword hit each other hard, sending out bursts of golden sound. Ming sound.
You Yu narrowed his eyes, the veins on his face tensed suddenly, and a hoarse laugh that was different from that of a young man, said, "Among the Zhou people, there is someone as skilled as you?"
Ji Lin's sword slashed at Yu Yu's sword, holding the sword in one hand, and quickly pulled the rein with the other hand, and then stabbed the sword obliquely. spark electricity.
Ji Lin sneered and said, "It's as if you're not from Zhou."
You Yu laughed hoarsely, as if he was mocking himself and Ji Lin, and said, "It's long gone!"
He said, the tiger and ben army had already pounced, Zhu Dan led the tiger and ben army to rush up quickly, and fought with other mountain soldiers and horse thieves, because the number of tiger and ben army was large, even if the horse thieves were brave and warlike, they were completely crushed in terms of numbers The pressure immediately showed the momentum of defeat.
And at this moment, there was no trace of panic on Yu Yu's face, instead he said: "It seems that you are going to lose."
As soon as Ji Lin frowned, he heard three sounds of "Dang! Dang, Dang!" You Yu's moves were very fierce, and every time he hit Ji Lin's saber, the martial arts of the two were clearly equal. To divide the opponent, Yu Yu's tone is very confident.
Click! !
After the three golden cries, Ji Lin only felt his arm tremble, his tiger's mouth went numb, and his hand was lightened, and he heard a clear and crisp sound in his ear. Looking closely, it turned out that it was not because Yu's martial arts were more outstanding, but because Yu Yu's sword was outstanding, and all three slashes landed on the same spot on Ji Lin's saber, and Ji Lin's saber unexpectedly cracked instantly, cutting off the edge of the sword.
Ji Lin's saber broke, turned the sword in Yu's hand, and slashed Ji Lin's face. Ji Lin suddenly fell backwards, lying on the horse's back, and the saber in his hand was thrown out like a hidden weapon. Xiang Yuyu.
You Yu didn't like to fight, he grabbed the reins and immediately shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!"
Hearing Yu Yu's shout, the horse thieves of the mountain army immediately drank their horses and retreated. These horse thieves were skilled in horsemanship and roamed the mountains all year round. They immediately plunged into the rough places, raised yellow dust, and the horses disappeared.
"Heaven!"
Zhu Dan immediately rushed over to check on Ji Lin. Ji Lin lost his weapon, and seeing the horse thieves fleeing before his eyes, he said coldly, "Send spies to follow."
Zhu Dan didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked two soldiers to follow up, and then protected the emperor and retreated to the gate of the border town of Fanguo.
Standing on the top of the tower, Qi Lu was in fear. Ji Lin went to catch the horse thief himself, and even fought with Yu Yu. Qi Lu was so scared that his palms were covered in cold sweat. Seeing Ji Lin's team come back, he rushed down the tower immediately. .
Qi Lu strode down the tower, and before Ji Lin could speak, he suddenly cupped Ji Lin's cheeks with both hands.
Qi Lv's figure is a standard literati appearance, tall and not intimidating, but the emperor is tall, despite his young age, he is much taller than ordinary people, and his shoulders are also broad, much taller than Qi Lv.
Qi Lu suddenly held the emperor's cheeks, and the emperor bowed his head slightly in order to cooperate, surprised.
It was not only the emperor who was surprised, but everyone who was watching, and Fan Bo was the most surprised.Fan Bo had heard that the Son of Heaven and the Taifu were very close. After all, the Son of Heaven was supported by the Tutor. If it wasn't for the Tutor, the person sitting on the seat of the Son of Heaven would probably be Ji Lin's uncle, Wang Zihu. .
But the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Fan Bo never thought that as a minister, he could touch the face of the emperor!Fan Bo was so taken aback that he didn't dare to take a breath.
Qi Lu was really worried, and didn't care too much at all, holding Ji Lin's cheek, because the emperor's "flowery and jade" cheek was cut, just below the eyes.Although it is not deep, it is very eye-catching on the handsome cheek of the emperor.
Wasn't it just when Ji Lin's saber was interrupted, Yu Yu came over suddenly and touched it?Qi Lu felt very distressed, it felt like the prickly ash he just bought was fried with sweet and sour, that kind of feeling, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, wished his internal organs would burst open.
Qi Lu repeatedly said: "Quick! Xiao Yang, call the medical officer! The emperor's face is hurt!"
Ji Lin was so angry just now, but now that he heard Qi Lu's concern, the anger in his heart was extinguished a little bit. If it wasn't for Qi Lu's words, Ji Lin himself didn't pay attention at all.
Ji Lin also raised his hand, wiped the blood off his face, and said, "It's okay."
"What's the matter?" Qi Lu saw that he wiped the wound with his "dirty hands", "Slap!" He knocked off Ji Lin's dirty hand with a bang, and said, "There is dirt on your hands, don't touch the wound."
Ji Lin didn't take it seriously. After all, Taifu Qi cared about him, and it was too late for him to be happy. Fan Bo was shocked again, staring at Taifu Qi and the Son of Heaven in shock, full of the words that Taifu just said in his heart. I beat the emperor and Taifu just now beat the emperor and Taifu just beat the emperor...
Qi Lv realized later and caught a glimpse of Fan Bo's terrified face, so he coughed lightly and let go of the emperor's face.Qi Lv was still very distressed in his heart, tried his best to restrain the twitch of the peppercorn being arched by a pig, and put on an unfathomable appearance of the grand master, and said: "Son, Shanrong is cunning, I don't know if he will return, or not?" Please enter the city quickly."
When everyone entered Xiaoyi, they all went back to the post, and did not rest leisurely, because although the Shanrong people ran away, the problem has not been resolved yet.
The biggest problem right now is the Qi State Mission.
The team of sending relatives from Qi State was robbed by the mountain bandits. The horse bandits knew that the sending team of Qi State would pass by this area, so they made full preparations, and under the heavy protection of Qi State, they robbed them. The daughter of the state of Qi, and Gongsun Wuzhi, the special envoy of the state of Qi.
Now it's all right, without a daughter of the country, how can Qi and Zheng get married?Even the Shanrong people know that if Qi and Zheng are married, the two powerful countries will expand rapidly, not to mention that it will not be good for the Emperor Zhou, nor will it be good for the Shanrong people.
Ji Lin really wanted to destroy Zheng Guo and Qi Guo's attentive care, but the Shanrong people were so bullying that they came to the door of their house. As the emperor of Zhou, he must protect the calf. The Rong people must ride on the head of the Great Zhou to show off their power. What face does the Emperor of Zhou have?
The emperor summoned all the people to the posthouse, including Fanbo and the officials of Fanguo.As soon as Fan Bo entered the door, he saw the emperor's gloomy face, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed in fright: "The guilty minister is incompetent! The guilty minister is incompetent, please punish the emperor!"
Ji Lin said gloomyly: "The matter of punishment will be discussed later. Now that Qi's send-off team has been robbed by Shan Rong, what can you do?"
The envoys of Qi State had already arrived at the post. When they heard that the sending team had been robbed, they were also very angry and said, "Shanrong people are very arrogant! Our Qi State is not easy to bully, we must meet with Shanrong soldiers !"
The envoy of another mission said: "No way, we can't meet each other in arms. Mountain soldiers are cruel and merciless. It's common to eat people's hearts and livers. They can't do anything if they drink blood like hair. See, then... that country girl and Gongsun, aren't they..."
The state daughter of Qi State and Gongsun Wuzhi are both descendants of Yi Zhongnian. Yi Zhongnian is highly valued in Qi State. Qi Hou Lufu even treats Gongsun Wuzhi as his own son. All food and clothing costs more than the second son of Qi State. Jiu and Xiaobai, the young son of Qi, are completely up to the standards of a prince, which shows how much Qihou likes his nephew.
Now the daughter of the country and Gongsun Wuzhi are all in the hands of the Shanrong people. Once the Shanrong is unhappy, they will definitely "tear their votes", so they must not be tough.
An envoy of the Qi State said: "It's better... Let's hand over the food and money. These horse thieves are just looking for money. Don't make them anxious!"
"The envoy of the State of Qi made a mistake. Now that the Shanrong people have reached the gate of the city, they are so arrogant. If we don't fight behind closed doors and humbly send food and money, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the people of Zhou?! What system?"
"You people of the mortal country don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk, and it's not your daughter and grandson who were kidnapped... Ah yes, I'm afraid it's the high officials of your mortal country, and they don't want us Zheng Guo and Qi to marry? Do you think we two Marriage between countries will hinder the development of Fan Kingdom, won't it?"
All of a sudden there was a lot of noise in the hall. After all, there were four types of people present: Zheng Guoren, Qi Guoren, Fan Guoren, and Luoshi royal family. Carrying water to drink, the three monks have no water to drink." Now that so many "monks" gather together, there will be a dozen in the nest.
Ji Lin was holding back his anger in his heart, seeing that the officials from all over the world wanted to beat him up, his face became even more gloomy, and he said coldly, "Enough!"
The envoy of Qi State was still arguing with the officials of Fan State, when suddenly he heard the emperor's cold shout, everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, they all stood up from their seats and kowtowed to apologize.
Ji Ya held his breath, his eyes rolled slightly, thinking how long it had been since we parted, the emperor's majesty became more and more powerful.
With a cold face, Ji Lin squinted his eyes and glanced at the people present, and said, "The Shanrong people fought under the widow's nose, and you just saw the Shanrong people's battle? Well-organized, united and supported, in the widow and the widow General Zhu's pursuit is not chaotic, and look at you, the widowed doctor, you are not as good as a mere horse thief in Shanrong?"
When Ji Lin said this, no one dared to speak, and hurriedly shouted: "I'm guilty of death, please punish the emperor!"
Ji Lin said coldly: "I've heard too much from officials, and I don't want to hear any more."
No one else dared to speak, Qi Lu sat in the class, unfolded the lambskin wrapped around the cold arrow, and looked at it carefully, just now the situation was critical in the upper gate of the city gate, so he didn't read it carefully, but just browsed it in general , Now that I browsed like this, I couldn't help squinting my eyes.
Unexpectedly, Qi Lu's name was written on this lambskin.
The extortion letter stated that if you want to exchange the daughter and Gongsun Wuzhi of Qi State, you have to exchange a large amount of grain and money. Fu alone brought all the food to exchange.
Qi Lu narrowed his eyes, and passed the lambskin roll to everyone. Ji Lin held the lambskin and looked at it, his face became even uglier, and he said hoarsely: "It's unreasonable, the Shanrong people are really wolfish ambitions, and they want my royal family's Taifu Exchange in person, dreaming."
Qi Lu was not angry, and was not afraid of being called by the Shanrong people. Instead, he asked Fan Bo, "Fan Gong, where is this Jingyu mountain forest?"
When Fan Bo heard the words "Jingyu Mountain Forest", his face was a little pale, and he cupped his hands and said, "The Son of Heaven and Taifu Qi don't know, this Jingyu Mountain Forest is where my ancestors hunted in the past."
At that time, the second son of Zhou Gongdan was sealed in the place of Fan, so Fan Kingdom was established.Backed by the Taihang Mountains, Fanguo has a rugged and complicated terrain, and the Yellow River runs across it. The whole country is a natural danger, and because of such dangers, it was able to survive in the cracks between the big countries and not be swallowed up for a while.
Jingyu Mountain Forest is located in the Taihang Mountains, as can be seen from the name, "well" refers to water wells.At that time, the second son of Zhou Gongdan was hunting in Jingyu. Because he needed to feed the horses, he asked someone to dig an ancient well.
Logically speaking, Jingyu Mountain Forest should be a "scenic spot" in Fan Kingdom. It was still a hunting ground back then, so it wouldn't change color.
Jingyu Mountain Forest is backed by Taihang Mountain, and horse bandits often appear in Taihang Mountain, which is commonly known as Shanrong people.The Shanrong people lived in the mountains and originally roamed in the area north of the Yan State. However, due to the turmoil during the period of King Ping of Zhou, Ji Lin’s father, the Great Zhou moved its capital to Luoyang and lost a large area of the Zhou Dynasty’s territory. Rong developed rapidly, expanding all the way from the position of Yan State, and now it has gradually put pressure on the Central Plains.
Shan Rong wandered around the Taihang Mountains all the year round. The Jingyu mountain forest was originally the hunting ground of Fan Kingdom, but because of the unbearable disturbance, they were attacked by Shan Rong again and again. He gave up on this mountain.
When Fan Bo mentioned this matter, he burst into tears, and said: "To tell the truth, the emperor and Taifu Qi, three months ago, my son led the army of Fan Kingdom, and was ambushed by Shan Rong in Jingyu. As a result... the entire army was wiped out!"
No wonder Fan Bo's face turned pale, he was so afraid of this place, the former prince of Fan Kingdom disappeared here, and all the army of Fan Kingdom was slaughtered, which left a psychological shadow on Fan Bo.
When Ji Lin heard this, his eyes darkened. In this way, Jingyu must be a place with complex terrain. If Qi Lu went to deliver food and money by himself, wouldn't he fall into the trap of the Shanrong people?Absolutely no return.
Ji Ya's face was solemn, and he said worriedly: "Brother, this is probably Shan Rong's trick. Now that Shan Rong has captured the daughter and grandson of Qi State, brother, going like this, isn't it in the hands of Shan Rong, maybe they are Maybe you want to capture the royal family doctor, brother must not go there!"
Needless to say, this time Ji Lin had the same opinion as Ji Ya.
Qi Lv pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Son of Heaven, all the envoys, what does the Shanrong man want for such a large amount of food and money?"
As soon as his words fell, Gongsunzi said in a low voice, "It means that Shan Rong's den of thieves should be near the Jingyu mountain forest."
Ji Ya looked confused and said, "Why?"
Qi Lu said: "Such a large amount of grain and money is not easy to transport. If the distance between the horse thieves' dens is too far and the front line for transporting grain is too long, wouldn't it be self-exposed?"
Qi Lv also said: "The reason why the horse bandits are so rampant is because of the rugged mountains, and they have never been able to find the bandit dens of the Shan Rong. If we can follow through this incident, once we find the stronghold of the horse bandits and want to wipe them out, Not a problem at all."
When he said this, Ji Lin frowned even more tightly and said nothing.What Qi Lu said makes sense, but this is just speculation, what if something goes wrong?Besides, the Shanrong people asked Qi Lu to go alone, who will protect Qi Lu's safety?
Qi Lv stood up, cupped his hands and said to Ji Lin: "Son of Heaven, this is a rare and good opportunity. Please send troops to follow, maybe you can defeat the bandits in one fell swoop and correct my Zhou Guowei!"
Ji Lin frowned, and said, "The Grand Tutor has a heart, but the Shan Rong and horse bandits are ruthless. If the Shan Rong people do not keep their promises and take the Grand Tutor into captivity, what should we do? The horse thief roams around the Jingyu mountain forest all year round, he must be better than others." The Huben army is more familiar with fighting in the mountains, and once lost, it is impossible to follow the vines, so what should we do?"
Hearing Ji Lin's question, Qi Lu seemed to have thought it over a long time ago, and was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he asked Fan Bo with a smile, and said, "Mr. , are there other horse thieves looting nearby?"
Qi Lu and the others happened to rescue a group of refugees before, and the refugees did indeed say so. The refugees said that there were several squads of horse thieves, and Yu Yu's squad was the most benevolent. They only plundered, but they didn't kill people and set fires. The other squads didn't do that." Mercy", burning, looting and doing everything, extremely cruel and tyrannical.
Fan Bo didn't know why Qi Taifu suddenly mentioned this matter, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, there is such a thing."
Qi Lv laughed and said: "These horse thieves must be greedy for their daily plunder, so I asked the emperor to release the news, saying that the law will personally escort the grain and money to Jingyu Mountain Forest to exchange prisoners with Youyu... As soon as this news comes out, I don’t believe that other horse thieves will not be greedy. At that time, Jingyu Mountain Forest will not only be the soldiers of the emperor and Youyu, but also the soldiers of other horse thieves. Maybe we can come and catch them all at once.”
Gong and grandson both responded and said: "Taifu's words are reasonable. Although the mountain bandits and horse bandits are brave and good at fighting, their discipline is not strict. Once the leader is defeated, they will be like a mess of loose sand. There is nothing to fear."
Having said that, it was indeed a great opportunity to fight against the generals, but Ji Lin was still worried that Qi Lv was a literati with no knowledge of martial arts, and asking him to escort food and money would be like going into the mouth of a tiger.
Zhu Dan stood up and said, "Son of Heaven, I am willing to pretend to be Taifu Qi, escort food and money, and go to Jingyu mountain forest to meet the horse thief."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Hua immediately stood up and said, "General Zhu, absolutely not."
Everyone looked at Gongsun Hua, and Gongsun Hua said: "The horse thief asked Qi Taifu to go by name by name, he must have been prepared, and today's battle, General Zhu also showed up, I am afraid that the Shanrong people have seen it clearly Face, moreover... Hua Guan, the horse thief You Yu, seems to know the Grand Tutor."
Qi Lu: "..." Gongsun Hua is really the one who can't open the pot and which pot to lift.
When Qi Lu heard Gongsun Hua's words, he immediately looked at the emperor, and as expected, the emperor's face was quite gloomy.Qi Lu scratched his chin, and it seemed that he was going to be crowned with this big pig's trotter.
For a while the hall was quiet, Ji Ya suddenly stood up and said: "Son of Heaven, since Taifu Qi must go, please let Ya pretend to be Taifu Qi's servant and follow him. With some kung fu, if the Shanrong people make some small moves, the teeth can also protect the Tai Tuo for a while!"
Ji Ya spoke very impassionedly, and his face was very firm. Gongsunzi didn't expect Ji Ya to risk his life so much, so he couldn't help but glance at Ji Ya and squinted his eyes.
Ji Lin pondered for a while, and although his face was still rather ugly, he said, "Zhu Dan, you and Gongsun Hua deployed troops to Jingyu in advance."
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he obviously let go. Zhu Dan and Gongsun Hua immediately stood up, cupped their hands and said, "The humble general takes orders."
Ji Lin said again: "Zheng Guoda is a pedestrian."
Ji Ya is Zheng Guo's welcoming envoy this time, the last time Ji Ya was sent as an envoy to Master Luo, he was just a young bastard, but now he has become a big pedestrian, when he heard Ji Lin calling him by name, he immediately stood up and said: " The tooth is here."
Ji Lin said in a deep voice, "Teacher Qi's safety is in your hands."
Ji Ya didn't expect Ji Lin to trust him. To be honest, many people looked down on Ji Ya, thinking that he was the nephew of Zheng Guoquan's minister, Ji Zhong, and that's why he had such a status. But they didn't know that Ji Zhong had always been It didn't pave the way for Ji Ya, all of this was done by Ji Ya himself.
When Ji Ya saw that Ji Lin handed over Qi Taifu to him, his blood boiled immediately, as if boiling oil, and he said loudly: "Ya will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Everyone immediately put together their plans, and the matter of spreading the news of the ransom fell on Fan Guo. Go to redeem someone, do it immediately!
After the discussion, everyone dispersed immediately due to the limited time. Ji Ya walked out of the hall, and saw Gongsunzi who had left first standing at the door, and did not go far.
Ji Ya didn't want to talk to Gongsunzidu at first, so he walked past him, but Gongsunzidu said, "Why do you need to go into this muddy water, little gentleman?"
Ji Ya stood still, frowned and said, "Why, you also look down on me? Think I don't have the ability?"
When Ji Ya heard this, he became very angry, pointed at Gongsunzi and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring back your beautiful girl from Qi Kingdom, so that your marriage will not be delayed! "
Gongsunzi frowned and said, "I don't even mean that."
Ji Ya said strangely: "Then what do you mean? Could it be that you are worried about me?"
Ji Ya purely took it as a joke, waved his hands after speaking, and said, "I'm very busy, I'm leaving first."
Ji Ya left quickly without looking back, leaving Gongsunzi standing alone at the entrance of the hall, and Gongsunzi squinting at Ji Ya's disappearing figure...
Qi Lv walked out of the hall, the emperor had already left early, he must have returned to the house where he was staying, he saw that the emperor had a bad face when he left, so he was going to follow and have a look.
Qi Lu pushed open the door with a "squeak" and clearly saw the emperor entering the house, why is there no one in the house at this time?Qi Lu was wondering, but the next moment, someone came and stabbed him in the back. In the winter, the warm breath enveloped Qi Lu's vest, and he knew it was Ji Lin.
Ji Lin hugged Qi Lu from the back, and put his chin on his shoulder like a baby, like a big puppy, and rubbed against Qi Lu's ear, Qi Lu suddenly had the urge to be a bald emperor ...
Ji Lin's deep voice fell into Qi Lu's ear, and said, "No matter what old relationship the Taifu has with that soft fish horse thief, the Taifu must come back."
Qi Ludeng couldn't laugh or cry, it was clearly an affectionate sentence, but there were so many faults, Qi Lu didn't know where to start complaining.
Qi Lu protested: "Son of Heaven, Lu really doesn't remember Yu Yu, how can he steal old love?"
Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Really?"
Qi Lu almost swears, it's true, it's true, after all, Qi Lu is not the "Original Owner", of course he doesn't remember any relationship between him and Yu Yu, if he says he doesn't remember, it's true.
Moreover, it is called Youyu. Ever since Ji Lin ate the big squid on a plate, he has always called Youyu soft fish. In this era, soft fish and squid have the same meaning, and the pronunciation is quite similar. The emperor who loves food gave it to you The imaginary rival got such a nickname.
Qi Lv said: "Don't worry, Son of Heaven, there is nothing to worry about. I wish the general a hundred steps to pass through Yang. Gongsun Hua is thoughtful. What's more, there will be other horse thieves who will come to make trouble. They are just some horse thieves who dare to bully our Lin'er." , Taifu will teach them a lesson for you."
Hearing what Qi Lu said, Ji Lin didn't feel shy at all, hugged Qi Lu, leaned on his shoulder with a clingy look, kissed Qi Lu's ears twice, and said, "Yes, they bullied Lin Son, Taifu should take good care of Lin'er."
Qi Lu: "..." He was said to be fat, and he was still out of breath!
Fanguo spread the news that Yu Jiang and Qi Lu would exchange a large amount of grain and money. Sure enough, the horse thieves had already started to move. These horse thieves had no discipline at all, and they all advocated force. Soldiers are more aggressive, but the biggest fatal point is greed and ambition.
Qi Lv's attack is based on attacking the heart. With such a large amount of treasure, one does not believe that horse thieves will not be tempted.After all, horse thieves live in the mountains. The reason why they often go down the mountain to plunder is because the mountains are not easy to cultivate, there is no stable source of food, and there is not enough daily necessities, so they rely on plundering for a living.So much food and money are more convenient than horse thieves "hard work" to plunder. How could those horse thieves watch a big fat fish swim away from them without doing anything?
At noon the next day, Qi Lu was ready according to the plan, Ji Ya also disguised himself as Qi Lu's followers, and the two came to Jingyu mountain forest in a cart.
It is quiet in the mountains and forests, all the way here are loess roads, with loess rock walls on both sides, the more you walk, the more desolate you are.It is said to be a mountain forest, but because it is winter, the leaves are all gone, it looks bare, and it looks desolate.
The carts filled with grain and money were driving on the path between the mountains. Jingyu was a valley, and the more you walked, the lower it became. The rocks on both sides were raised, and it was indeed a good place for an ambush.
Ji Ya tugged at the rein of the horse, his palms were covered with sweat, and he felt that the rein of the horse was actually slipping.
Seeing that he was so nervous, Qi Lu smiled and said, "Brother, don't be so nervous."
Ji Ya immediately said: "No, no! I'm not nervous."
As soon as Ji Ya opened his mouth, he immediately betrayed himself, stuttered countless times, blushed instantly, and changed his words, "Just... a little bit nervous."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned, changed his stuttering appearance, and said in a low voice: "The sound of horseshoes."
"Tap Tat Tat!" Sure enough, it was the sound of horseshoes, coming from afar, facing their direction, the sound of horseshoes was very loud, very noisy, the valley was full of loess, and the dust was constantly approaching them.
Qi Lu whispered, "Here we come."
Ji Ya immediately stopped the cart and stared at the approaching loess warily.
With the sound of trampling horseshoes, a black horse took the lead, rushing out of the encirclement of the loess with the gust of wind, it was Yu!
You Yu was young, but his face was full of majesty and solemnity. The soldiers and horses following him came to Qi Lu in an instant, dispersed with a "crash", and quickly surrounded Qi Lu and the carriage.
You Yu held the horse's bridle, slowed down the horse, and sat high on the horse. Although he was dressed in rough clothes, he didn't look like a horse thief at all, but looked like a general.
His face was very fierce, with a vicious look, especially between his lowered lips, he raised his hand, holding a whip in his palm, nodding his teeth, and said, "Who is he?"
Qi Lu was not afraid, his expression was as usual, and he said calmly: "He is my servant."
"Servant?" Yu Yu's voice was very low.
Ji Ya's hand was covered in cold sweat, and the cold sweat became even more, thinking that he hadn't "shown his face" much before, so the horse thief probably didn't know him?
"Chi!" You Yu suddenly pulled out his sword, and Ji Ya's arm was so frightened that he almost pulled the sword out of its sheath.
You Yu said coldly: "I remember that I have explained a few days ago that you are only allowed to come alone, but you brought others?"
Qi Lv was still very calm. Compared with the tension of Sacrifice Ya, Qi Lv seemed to be doing homework, and even smiled slightly, and said: "In the transfer book, Lv was asked to bring grain, grass and money to redeem people. The food and money, no matter what , one cart will definitely not be able to pull it, if Lulu does not bring servants, how can one person drive so many carts?"
You Yu squinted his eyes, as if he was looking at Qi Lu and Ji Ya. Although Ji Ya had practiced martial arts since childhood, he was not tall, about the same size as Qi Lu. You Yu looked him in the eyes, as if he was thinking about Qi Lu. The credibility of the words, finally snorted, and took the sword back.
Qi Lv said: "The grain, grass and money have been brought, you can count them. Is it not too much for Lu to see the daughter and grandson of Qi State?"
Sitting on the horse, Yu Yu squinted his eyes and looked down at Qi Lu. The corners of his lowered lips twitched slightly, as if he was smiling. This was the second time Qi Lu saw him smile. No matter which time, he felt that it was very inconsistent. It seems that people like You Yu shouldn't laugh by nature, because when he laughed, he was even more shocked, and the ruthlessness on his face was raging like ice and snow.
Yu Yu stared at Qi Lu and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I really want to catch up with Mr. Qi..."
Reminiscing about the past...
Qi Lu is a person who is not afraid of anything, but now there is one more thing to be afraid of, that is, he is afraid that others will reminisce about the old days with him...
Qi Lv has no memory of the "original owner" at all, these past events of Chen Zhima and rotten millet seem to be a bad debt, but one by one
Qi Lu really wanted to know how many holes this "original owner" had left for him. Last time, Mr. Wan was the one, and this time another Yu Yu came.
Qi Lv had made a promise with the emperor before, and had nothing to do with Yu Yu, but now he's better, and instantly turned into a sweet-talking pig's trotter.
Yu bent the bow to shoot the arrow, squinted his eyes at Qi Lu, and only said "Is it you?", leaving Qi Lu with countless questions, so he didn't say anything else.
Qi Lu didn't have time to take care of Youyu, and looked at the cold arrow that had just been stuck on the top of the wall, and there was a small sheepskin scroll on the arrow, which was obviously a letter.
Qi Lu immediately pulled out the cold arrow, and shook the lambskin with a clatter. There were not many words on it, but it was a blackmail letter.
It said that the daughter of Qi State and the special envoy of Qi State, Gongsun Wuzhi, were plundered by them. If they wanted to exchange the daughter and special envoy of Qi State, they would have to exchange countless grains and money. It also wrote the time and place of exchanging the country girl and the special envoy.
When Ji Lin saw it, he squinted his eyes, and his complexion was immediately ugly, and instantly darkened, as dark as a cloudy and rainy day, and it was about to thunder and rain.
The mountain bandits actually robbed the mission of Qi State, not only the daughter of the country, but also the special envoy. This man is the son of heaven, and his face is dull.
Ji Lin stared coldly at Yu Yu, the leader of the horse bandits downstairs, but Yu Yu didn't look at Ji Lin at all, but stared at Qi Lv instead.The distance was very far, but Ji Lin could be sure that Yu Yu's gaze had been fixed on Qi Lv all the time, and he never missed a single mistake.
At the end, You Yu slowly smiled at Qi Lu with a deep meaning, then suddenly drank the horse and turned the horse's head, and the horse thief behind him also turned the horse's head, as if to run away.
Ji Lin was furious. The gang of Shanrong people had slapped them all the way to the door. Ji Lin took a look around and found that there were not many of them. If they pursue now, they might be able to wipe out these arrogant Shanrong people.
Immediately Ji Lin drew out his sword with a "chi--" and said, "Zhu Dan, dispatch a team of soldiers and horses to pursue immediately with the widow."
Qi Lv was surprised that the Son of Heaven wanted to go after the Shanrong people himself.The Shanrong people are tough and good at fighting, and the Son of Heaven is indeed outstanding in martial arts, but firstly, he is not familiar with the terrain of Fanguo, secondly, he is not familiar with the fighting style of the Shanrong people, and thirdly... the Shanrong people hit the gate of the city of Fanguo, which shows that they are prepared and ready. Come on, if Ji Lin is impulsive, he may suffer.
Qi Lv didn't have time to stop him. After all, the Son of Heaven was young and full of vigor. Shanrong's horse thieves had already bullied him to the door and sent him a blackmailing book. How could Ji Lin swallow this.
Immediately, Ji Lin took Zhu Dan and quickly opened the gate of the city. The gate of Fanguo made a loud bang, like the fangs of a wild beast, and opened quickly. He jumped out of the door and chased the Shanrong people in front of him all the way.
Qi Lu was worried, and immediately told Fan Bo, "Hurry up, the archers are ready."
Fan Kingdom has never dared to challenge the Shanrong people head-on. Three months ago, the prince of Fan Kingdom led the army to go out, but he never returned, which made Fan Kingdom feel ashamed. Now seeing the emperor personally chasing him, Fan Bo was frightened With a pale face, he shouted: "Hurry up! Archers!"
The soldiers of Fan Kingdom immediately bowed their bows and ambushed on the city gate, ready to shoot arrows in the distance, covering the elite tiger ben who rushed out to pursue them.
Qi Lu narrowed his eyes and made a quick decision: "Let the arrow!"
"Fire arrows!"
"Shoot arrows!!"
"Whizzing--"
"Whoosh whoosh—"
Arrows shot out of the air, and powerful crossbows/arrows quickly flew to the distance, like a big net, instantly covering the Shan Rong team running in front, blocking their way.
Yu Yu rode on the black steed, and pulled the bridle suddenly. The horse was very nimble, and in the blink of an eye, it bypassed several flying crossbows/arrows, only to hear the sound of "Doo Do Do!" The crossbow/arrow was inserted into the yellow ground, and several large holes were poked out in an instant, and the stone ground made a cracking sound.
Arrows flew like rain, stopping the Shanrong people from escaping, but soon, the Ji Lin and Huben army behind them had already caught up. If they shoot again at this time, it is likely that they will not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. Qi Lv immediately raised his hand , said: "Stop!"
The soldiers of Fan Kingdom immediately stopped shooting arrows, and the arrows that had been flying like a shower stopped suddenly, and there was only the sound of "boom—" horseshoes in front of the gate of Fan Kingdom.
The Shan Rong horse thief wanted to escape, but was stopped by the arrow rain. Seeing the elite tiger army rushing behind him, the Shan Rong seemed a little flustered. Yu Yu raised his whip and shouted: "Don't panic! Let's fight!"
"嗤——" was the sound of swords being drawn, and the distance between the teams on both sides shortened rapidly. Standing on the tower, Qi Lu saw that the two black pieces finally bordered, and the sound of weapons clashing came to the tower.
Qi Lu narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hands to hold the tower, stared closely at the battlefield under the tower, and saw Ji Lin in black robe at a glance.
Ji Lin was wearing a black robe, riding on a white horse, completely eye-catching. He rushed to the front, quickly knocked down several horse thieves off the back of the horse, and directly met Yu Yu who was in the front.
Yu Yu narrowed his eyes, "Hey!" He drew out his sword, and the next moment there was a loud noise of "Dang--", Ji Lin's saber and Yu Yu's sword hit each other hard, sending out bursts of golden sound. Ming sound.
You Yu narrowed his eyes, the veins on his face tensed suddenly, and a hoarse laugh that was different from that of a young man, said, "Among the Zhou people, there is someone as skilled as you?"
Ji Lin's sword slashed at Yu Yu's sword, holding the sword in one hand, and quickly pulled the rein with the other hand, and then stabbed the sword obliquely. spark electricity.
Ji Lin sneered and said, "It's as if you're not from Zhou."
You Yu laughed hoarsely, as if he was mocking himself and Ji Lin, and said, "It's long gone!"
He said, the tiger and ben army had already pounced, Zhu Dan led the tiger and ben army to rush up quickly, and fought with other mountain soldiers and horse thieves, because the number of tiger and ben army was large, even if the horse thieves were brave and warlike, they were completely crushed in terms of numbers The pressure immediately showed the momentum of defeat.
And at this moment, there was no trace of panic on Yu Yu's face, instead he said: "It seems that you are going to lose."
As soon as Ji Lin frowned, he heard three sounds of "Dang! Dang, Dang!" You Yu's moves were very fierce, and every time he hit Ji Lin's saber, the martial arts of the two were clearly equal. To divide the opponent, Yu Yu's tone is very confident.
Click! !
After the three golden cries, Ji Lin only felt his arm tremble, his tiger's mouth went numb, and his hand was lightened, and he heard a clear and crisp sound in his ear. Looking closely, it turned out that it was not because Yu's martial arts were more outstanding, but because Yu Yu's sword was outstanding, and all three slashes landed on the same spot on Ji Lin's saber, and Ji Lin's saber unexpectedly cracked instantly, cutting off the edge of the sword.
Ji Lin's saber broke, turned the sword in Yu's hand, and slashed Ji Lin's face. Ji Lin suddenly fell backwards, lying on the horse's back, and the saber in his hand was thrown out like a hidden weapon. Xiang Yuyu.
You Yu didn't like to fight, he grabbed the reins and immediately shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!"
Hearing Yu Yu's shout, the horse thieves of the mountain army immediately drank their horses and retreated. These horse thieves were skilled in horsemanship and roamed the mountains all year round. They immediately plunged into the rough places, raised yellow dust, and the horses disappeared.
"Heaven!"
Zhu Dan immediately rushed over to check on Ji Lin. Ji Lin lost his weapon, and seeing the horse thieves fleeing before his eyes, he said coldly, "Send spies to follow."
Zhu Dan didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked two soldiers to follow up, and then protected the emperor and retreated to the gate of the border town of Fanguo.
Standing on the top of the tower, Qi Lu was in fear. Ji Lin went to catch the horse thief himself, and even fought with Yu Yu. Qi Lu was so scared that his palms were covered in cold sweat. Seeing Ji Lin's team come back, he rushed down the tower immediately. .
Qi Lu strode down the tower, and before Ji Lin could speak, he suddenly cupped Ji Lin's cheeks with both hands.
Qi Lv's figure is a standard literati appearance, tall and not intimidating, but the emperor is tall, despite his young age, he is much taller than ordinary people, and his shoulders are also broad, much taller than Qi Lv.
Qi Lu suddenly held the emperor's cheeks, and the emperor bowed his head slightly in order to cooperate, surprised.
It was not only the emperor who was surprised, but everyone who was watching, and Fan Bo was the most surprised.Fan Bo had heard that the Son of Heaven and the Taifu were very close. After all, the Son of Heaven was supported by the Tutor. If it wasn't for the Tutor, the person sitting on the seat of the Son of Heaven would probably be Ji Lin's uncle, Wang Zihu. .
But the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Fan Bo never thought that as a minister, he could touch the face of the emperor!Fan Bo was so taken aback that he didn't dare to take a breath.
Qi Lu was really worried, and didn't care too much at all, holding Ji Lin's cheek, because the emperor's "flowery and jade" cheek was cut, just below the eyes.Although it is not deep, it is very eye-catching on the handsome cheek of the emperor.
Wasn't it just when Ji Lin's saber was interrupted, Yu Yu came over suddenly and touched it?Qi Lu felt very distressed, it felt like the prickly ash he just bought was fried with sweet and sour, that kind of feeling, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, wished his internal organs would burst open.
Qi Lu repeatedly said: "Quick! Xiao Yang, call the medical officer! The emperor's face is hurt!"
Ji Lin was so angry just now, but now that he heard Qi Lu's concern, the anger in his heart was extinguished a little bit. If it wasn't for Qi Lu's words, Ji Lin himself didn't pay attention at all.
Ji Lin also raised his hand, wiped the blood off his face, and said, "It's okay."
"What's the matter?" Qi Lu saw that he wiped the wound with his "dirty hands", "Slap!" He knocked off Ji Lin's dirty hand with a bang, and said, "There is dirt on your hands, don't touch the wound."
Ji Lin didn't take it seriously. After all, Taifu Qi cared about him, and it was too late for him to be happy. Fan Bo was shocked again, staring at Taifu Qi and the Son of Heaven in shock, full of the words that Taifu just said in his heart. I beat the emperor and Taifu just now beat the emperor and Taifu just beat the emperor...
Qi Lv realized later and caught a glimpse of Fan Bo's terrified face, so he coughed lightly and let go of the emperor's face.Qi Lv was still very distressed in his heart, tried his best to restrain the twitch of the peppercorn being arched by a pig, and put on an unfathomable appearance of the grand master, and said: "Son, Shanrong is cunning, I don't know if he will return, or not?" Please enter the city quickly."
When everyone entered Xiaoyi, they all went back to the post, and did not rest leisurely, because although the Shanrong people ran away, the problem has not been resolved yet.
The biggest problem right now is the Qi State Mission.
The team of sending relatives from Qi State was robbed by the mountain bandits. The horse bandits knew that the sending team of Qi State would pass by this area, so they made full preparations, and under the heavy protection of Qi State, they robbed them. The daughter of the state of Qi, and Gongsun Wuzhi, the special envoy of the state of Qi.
Now it's all right, without a daughter of the country, how can Qi and Zheng get married?Even the Shanrong people know that if Qi and Zheng are married, the two powerful countries will expand rapidly, not to mention that it will not be good for the Emperor Zhou, nor will it be good for the Shanrong people.
Ji Lin really wanted to destroy Zheng Guo and Qi Guo's attentive care, but the Shanrong people were so bullying that they came to the door of their house. As the emperor of Zhou, he must protect the calf. The Rong people must ride on the head of the Great Zhou to show off their power. What face does the Emperor of Zhou have?
The emperor summoned all the people to the posthouse, including Fanbo and the officials of Fanguo.As soon as Fan Bo entered the door, he saw the emperor's gloomy face, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed in fright: "The guilty minister is incompetent! The guilty minister is incompetent, please punish the emperor!"
Ji Lin said gloomyly: "The matter of punishment will be discussed later. Now that Qi's send-off team has been robbed by Shan Rong, what can you do?"
The envoys of Qi State had already arrived at the post. When they heard that the sending team had been robbed, they were also very angry and said, "Shanrong people are very arrogant! Our Qi State is not easy to bully, we must meet with Shanrong soldiers !"
The envoy of another mission said: "No way, we can't meet each other in arms. Mountain soldiers are cruel and merciless. It's common to eat people's hearts and livers. They can't do anything if they drink blood like hair. See, then... that country girl and Gongsun, aren't they..."
The state daughter of Qi State and Gongsun Wuzhi are both descendants of Yi Zhongnian. Yi Zhongnian is highly valued in Qi State. Qi Hou Lufu even treats Gongsun Wuzhi as his own son. All food and clothing costs more than the second son of Qi State. Jiu and Xiaobai, the young son of Qi, are completely up to the standards of a prince, which shows how much Qihou likes his nephew.
Now the daughter of the country and Gongsun Wuzhi are all in the hands of the Shanrong people. Once the Shanrong is unhappy, they will definitely "tear their votes", so they must not be tough.
An envoy of the Qi State said: "It's better... Let's hand over the food and money. These horse thieves are just looking for money. Don't make them anxious!"
"The envoy of the State of Qi made a mistake. Now that the Shanrong people have reached the gate of the city, they are so arrogant. If we don't fight behind closed doors and humbly send food and money, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the people of Zhou?! What system?"
"You people of the mortal country don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk, and it's not your daughter and grandson who were kidnapped... Ah yes, I'm afraid it's the high officials of your mortal country, and they don't want us Zheng Guo and Qi to marry? Do you think we two Marriage between countries will hinder the development of Fan Kingdom, won't it?"
All of a sudden there was a lot of noise in the hall. After all, there were four types of people present: Zheng Guoren, Qi Guoren, Fan Guoren, and Luoshi royal family. Carrying water to drink, the three monks have no water to drink." Now that so many "monks" gather together, there will be a dozen in the nest.
Ji Lin was holding back his anger in his heart, seeing that the officials from all over the world wanted to beat him up, his face became even more gloomy, and he said coldly, "Enough!"
The envoy of Qi State was still arguing with the officials of Fan State, when suddenly he heard the emperor's cold shout, everyone was so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, they all stood up from their seats and kowtowed to apologize.
Ji Ya held his breath, his eyes rolled slightly, thinking how long it had been since we parted, the emperor's majesty became more and more powerful.
With a cold face, Ji Lin squinted his eyes and glanced at the people present, and said, "The Shanrong people fought under the widow's nose, and you just saw the Shanrong people's battle? Well-organized, united and supported, in the widow and the widow General Zhu's pursuit is not chaotic, and look at you, the widowed doctor, you are not as good as a mere horse thief in Shanrong?"
When Ji Lin said this, no one dared to speak, and hurriedly shouted: "I'm guilty of death, please punish the emperor!"
Ji Lin said coldly: "I've heard too much from officials, and I don't want to hear any more."
No one else dared to speak, Qi Lu sat in the class, unfolded the lambskin wrapped around the cold arrow, and looked at it carefully, just now the situation was critical in the upper gate of the city gate, so he didn't read it carefully, but just browsed it in general , Now that I browsed like this, I couldn't help squinting my eyes.
Unexpectedly, Qi Lu's name was written on this lambskin.
The extortion letter stated that if you want to exchange the daughter and Gongsun Wuzhi of Qi State, you have to exchange a large amount of grain and money. Fu alone brought all the food to exchange.
Qi Lu narrowed his eyes, and passed the lambskin roll to everyone. Ji Lin held the lambskin and looked at it, his face became even uglier, and he said hoarsely: "It's unreasonable, the Shanrong people are really wolfish ambitions, and they want my royal family's Taifu Exchange in person, dreaming."
Qi Lu was not angry, and was not afraid of being called by the Shanrong people. Instead, he asked Fan Bo, "Fan Gong, where is this Jingyu mountain forest?"
When Fan Bo heard the words "Jingyu Mountain Forest", his face was a little pale, and he cupped his hands and said, "The Son of Heaven and Taifu Qi don't know, this Jingyu Mountain Forest is where my ancestors hunted in the past."
At that time, the second son of Zhou Gongdan was sealed in the place of Fan, so Fan Kingdom was established.Backed by the Taihang Mountains, Fanguo has a rugged and complicated terrain, and the Yellow River runs across it. The whole country is a natural danger, and because of such dangers, it was able to survive in the cracks between the big countries and not be swallowed up for a while.
Jingyu Mountain Forest is located in the Taihang Mountains, as can be seen from the name, "well" refers to water wells.At that time, the second son of Zhou Gongdan was hunting in Jingyu. Because he needed to feed the horses, he asked someone to dig an ancient well.
Logically speaking, Jingyu Mountain Forest should be a "scenic spot" in Fan Kingdom. It was still a hunting ground back then, so it wouldn't change color.
Jingyu Mountain Forest is backed by Taihang Mountain, and horse bandits often appear in Taihang Mountain, which is commonly known as Shanrong people.The Shanrong people lived in the mountains and originally roamed in the area north of the Yan State. However, due to the turmoil during the period of King Ping of Zhou, Ji Lin’s father, the Great Zhou moved its capital to Luoyang and lost a large area of the Zhou Dynasty’s territory. Rong developed rapidly, expanding all the way from the position of Yan State, and now it has gradually put pressure on the Central Plains.
Shan Rong wandered around the Taihang Mountains all the year round. The Jingyu mountain forest was originally the hunting ground of Fan Kingdom, but because of the unbearable disturbance, they were attacked by Shan Rong again and again. He gave up on this mountain.
When Fan Bo mentioned this matter, he burst into tears, and said: "To tell the truth, the emperor and Taifu Qi, three months ago, my son led the army of Fan Kingdom, and was ambushed by Shan Rong in Jingyu. As a result... the entire army was wiped out!"
No wonder Fan Bo's face turned pale, he was so afraid of this place, the former prince of Fan Kingdom disappeared here, and all the army of Fan Kingdom was slaughtered, which left a psychological shadow on Fan Bo.
When Ji Lin heard this, his eyes darkened. In this way, Jingyu must be a place with complex terrain. If Qi Lu went to deliver food and money by himself, wouldn't he fall into the trap of the Shanrong people?Absolutely no return.
Ji Ya's face was solemn, and he said worriedly: "Brother, this is probably Shan Rong's trick. Now that Shan Rong has captured the daughter and grandson of Qi State, brother, going like this, isn't it in the hands of Shan Rong, maybe they are Maybe you want to capture the royal family doctor, brother must not go there!"
Needless to say, this time Ji Lin had the same opinion as Ji Ya.
Qi Lv pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "Son of Heaven, all the envoys, what does the Shanrong man want for such a large amount of food and money?"
As soon as his words fell, Gongsunzi said in a low voice, "It means that Shan Rong's den of thieves should be near the Jingyu mountain forest."
Ji Ya looked confused and said, "Why?"
Qi Lu said: "Such a large amount of grain and money is not easy to transport. If the distance between the horse thieves' dens is too far and the front line for transporting grain is too long, wouldn't it be self-exposed?"
Qi Lv also said: "The reason why the horse bandits are so rampant is because of the rugged mountains, and they have never been able to find the bandit dens of the Shan Rong. If we can follow through this incident, once we find the stronghold of the horse bandits and want to wipe them out, Not a problem at all."
When he said this, Ji Lin frowned even more tightly and said nothing.What Qi Lu said makes sense, but this is just speculation, what if something goes wrong?Besides, the Shanrong people asked Qi Lu to go alone, who will protect Qi Lu's safety?
Qi Lv stood up, cupped his hands and said to Ji Lin: "Son of Heaven, this is a rare and good opportunity. Please send troops to follow, maybe you can defeat the bandits in one fell swoop and correct my Zhou Guowei!"
Ji Lin frowned, and said, "The Grand Tutor has a heart, but the Shan Rong and horse bandits are ruthless. If the Shan Rong people do not keep their promises and take the Grand Tutor into captivity, what should we do? The horse thief roams around the Jingyu mountain forest all year round, he must be better than others." The Huben army is more familiar with fighting in the mountains, and once lost, it is impossible to follow the vines, so what should we do?"
Hearing Ji Lin's question, Qi Lu seemed to have thought it over a long time ago, and was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he asked Fan Bo with a smile, and said, "Mr. , are there other horse thieves looting nearby?"
Qi Lu and the others happened to rescue a group of refugees before, and the refugees did indeed say so. The refugees said that there were several squads of horse thieves, and Yu Yu's squad was the most benevolent. They only plundered, but they didn't kill people and set fires. The other squads didn't do that." Mercy", burning, looting and doing everything, extremely cruel and tyrannical.
Fan Bo didn't know why Qi Taifu suddenly mentioned this matter, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, there is such a thing."
Qi Lv laughed and said: "These horse thieves must be greedy for their daily plunder, so I asked the emperor to release the news, saying that the law will personally escort the grain and money to Jingyu Mountain Forest to exchange prisoners with Youyu... As soon as this news comes out, I don’t believe that other horse thieves will not be greedy. At that time, Jingyu Mountain Forest will not only be the soldiers of the emperor and Youyu, but also the soldiers of other horse thieves. Maybe we can come and catch them all at once.”
Gong and grandson both responded and said: "Taifu's words are reasonable. Although the mountain bandits and horse bandits are brave and good at fighting, their discipline is not strict. Once the leader is defeated, they will be like a mess of loose sand. There is nothing to fear."
Having said that, it was indeed a great opportunity to fight against the generals, but Ji Lin was still worried that Qi Lv was a literati with no knowledge of martial arts, and asking him to escort food and money would be like going into the mouth of a tiger.
Zhu Dan stood up and said, "Son of Heaven, I am willing to pretend to be Taifu Qi, escort food and money, and go to Jingyu mountain forest to meet the horse thief."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Hua immediately stood up and said, "General Zhu, absolutely not."
Everyone looked at Gongsun Hua, and Gongsun Hua said: "The horse thief asked Qi Taifu to go by name by name, he must have been prepared, and today's battle, General Zhu also showed up, I am afraid that the Shanrong people have seen it clearly Face, moreover... Hua Guan, the horse thief You Yu, seems to know the Grand Tutor."
Qi Lu: "..." Gongsun Hua is really the one who can't open the pot and which pot to lift.
When Qi Lu heard Gongsun Hua's words, he immediately looked at the emperor, and as expected, the emperor's face was quite gloomy.Qi Lu scratched his chin, and it seemed that he was going to be crowned with this big pig's trotter.
For a while the hall was quiet, Ji Ya suddenly stood up and said: "Son of Heaven, since Taifu Qi must go, please let Ya pretend to be Taifu Qi's servant and follow him. With some kung fu, if the Shanrong people make some small moves, the teeth can also protect the Tai Tuo for a while!"
Ji Ya spoke very impassionedly, and his face was very firm. Gongsunzi didn't expect Ji Ya to risk his life so much, so he couldn't help but glance at Ji Ya and squinted his eyes.
Ji Lin pondered for a while, and although his face was still rather ugly, he said, "Zhu Dan, you and Gongsun Hua deployed troops to Jingyu in advance."
As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he obviously let go. Zhu Dan and Gongsun Hua immediately stood up, cupped their hands and said, "The humble general takes orders."
Ji Lin said again: "Zheng Guoda is a pedestrian."
Ji Ya is Zheng Guo's welcoming envoy this time, the last time Ji Ya was sent as an envoy to Master Luo, he was just a young bastard, but now he has become a big pedestrian, when he heard Ji Lin calling him by name, he immediately stood up and said: " The tooth is here."
Ji Lin said in a deep voice, "Teacher Qi's safety is in your hands."
Ji Ya didn't expect Ji Lin to trust him. To be honest, many people looked down on Ji Ya, thinking that he was the nephew of Zheng Guoquan's minister, Ji Zhong, and that's why he had such a status. But they didn't know that Ji Zhong had always been It didn't pave the way for Ji Ya, all of this was done by Ji Ya himself.
When Ji Ya saw that Ji Lin handed over Qi Taifu to him, his blood boiled immediately, as if boiling oil, and he said loudly: "Ya will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Everyone immediately put together their plans, and the matter of spreading the news of the ransom fell on Fan Guo. Go to redeem someone, do it immediately!
After the discussion, everyone dispersed immediately due to the limited time. Ji Ya walked out of the hall, and saw Gongsunzi who had left first standing at the door, and did not go far.
Ji Ya didn't want to talk to Gongsunzidu at first, so he walked past him, but Gongsunzidu said, "Why do you need to go into this muddy water, little gentleman?"
Ji Ya stood still, frowned and said, "Why, you also look down on me? Think I don't have the ability?"
When Ji Ya heard this, he became very angry, pointed at Gongsunzi and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring back your beautiful girl from Qi Kingdom, so that your marriage will not be delayed! "
Gongsunzi frowned and said, "I don't even mean that."
Ji Ya said strangely: "Then what do you mean? Could it be that you are worried about me?"
Ji Ya purely took it as a joke, waved his hands after speaking, and said, "I'm very busy, I'm leaving first."
Ji Ya left quickly without looking back, leaving Gongsunzi standing alone at the entrance of the hall, and Gongsunzi squinting at Ji Ya's disappearing figure...
Qi Lv walked out of the hall, the emperor had already left early, he must have returned to the house where he was staying, he saw that the emperor had a bad face when he left, so he was going to follow and have a look.
Qi Lu pushed open the door with a "squeak" and clearly saw the emperor entering the house, why is there no one in the house at this time?Qi Lu was wondering, but the next moment, someone came and stabbed him in the back. In the winter, the warm breath enveloped Qi Lu's vest, and he knew it was Ji Lin.
Ji Lin hugged Qi Lu from the back, and put his chin on his shoulder like a baby, like a big puppy, and rubbed against Qi Lu's ear, Qi Lu suddenly had the urge to be a bald emperor ...
Ji Lin's deep voice fell into Qi Lu's ear, and said, "No matter what old relationship the Taifu has with that soft fish horse thief, the Taifu must come back."
Qi Ludeng couldn't laugh or cry, it was clearly an affectionate sentence, but there were so many faults, Qi Lu didn't know where to start complaining.
Qi Lu protested: "Son of Heaven, Lu really doesn't remember Yu Yu, how can he steal old love?"
Ji Lin narrowed his eyes and said, "Really?"
Qi Lu almost swears, it's true, it's true, after all, Qi Lu is not the "Original Owner", of course he doesn't remember any relationship between him and Yu Yu, if he says he doesn't remember, it's true.
Moreover, it is called Youyu. Ever since Ji Lin ate the big squid on a plate, he has always called Youyu soft fish. In this era, soft fish and squid have the same meaning, and the pronunciation is quite similar. The emperor who loves food gave it to you The imaginary rival got such a nickname.
Qi Lv said: "Don't worry, Son of Heaven, there is nothing to worry about. I wish the general a hundred steps to pass through Yang. Gongsun Hua is thoughtful. What's more, there will be other horse thieves who will come to make trouble. They are just some horse thieves who dare to bully our Lin'er." , Taifu will teach them a lesson for you."
Hearing what Qi Lu said, Ji Lin didn't feel shy at all, hugged Qi Lu, leaned on his shoulder with a clingy look, kissed Qi Lu's ears twice, and said, "Yes, they bullied Lin Son, Taifu should take good care of Lin'er."
Qi Lu: "..." He was said to be fat, and he was still out of breath!
Fanguo spread the news that Yu Jiang and Qi Lu would exchange a large amount of grain and money. Sure enough, the horse thieves had already started to move. These horse thieves had no discipline at all, and they all advocated force. Soldiers are more aggressive, but the biggest fatal point is greed and ambition.
Qi Lv's attack is based on attacking the heart. With such a large amount of treasure, one does not believe that horse thieves will not be tempted.After all, horse thieves live in the mountains. The reason why they often go down the mountain to plunder is because the mountains are not easy to cultivate, there is no stable source of food, and there is not enough daily necessities, so they rely on plundering for a living.So much food and money are more convenient than horse thieves "hard work" to plunder. How could those horse thieves watch a big fat fish swim away from them without doing anything?
At noon the next day, Qi Lu was ready according to the plan, Ji Ya also disguised himself as Qi Lu's followers, and the two came to Jingyu mountain forest in a cart.
It is quiet in the mountains and forests, all the way here are loess roads, with loess rock walls on both sides, the more you walk, the more desolate you are.It is said to be a mountain forest, but because it is winter, the leaves are all gone, it looks bare, and it looks desolate.
The carts filled with grain and money were driving on the path between the mountains. Jingyu was a valley, and the more you walked, the lower it became. The rocks on both sides were raised, and it was indeed a good place for an ambush.
Ji Ya tugged at the rein of the horse, his palms were covered with sweat, and he felt that the rein of the horse was actually slipping.
Seeing that he was so nervous, Qi Lu smiled and said, "Brother, don't be so nervous."
Ji Ya immediately said: "No, no! I'm not nervous."
As soon as Ji Ya opened his mouth, he immediately betrayed himself, stuttered countless times, blushed instantly, and changed his words, "Just... a little bit nervous."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned, changed his stuttering appearance, and said in a low voice: "The sound of horseshoes."
"Tap Tat Tat!" Sure enough, it was the sound of horseshoes, coming from afar, facing their direction, the sound of horseshoes was very loud, very noisy, the valley was full of loess, and the dust was constantly approaching them.
Qi Lu whispered, "Here we come."
Ji Ya immediately stopped the cart and stared at the approaching loess warily.
With the sound of trampling horseshoes, a black horse took the lead, rushing out of the encirclement of the loess with the gust of wind, it was Yu!
You Yu was young, but his face was full of majesty and solemnity. The soldiers and horses following him came to Qi Lu in an instant, dispersed with a "crash", and quickly surrounded Qi Lu and the carriage.
You Yu held the horse's bridle, slowed down the horse, and sat high on the horse. Although he was dressed in rough clothes, he didn't look like a horse thief at all, but looked like a general.
His face was very fierce, with a vicious look, especially between his lowered lips, he raised his hand, holding a whip in his palm, nodding his teeth, and said, "Who is he?"
Qi Lu was not afraid, his expression was as usual, and he said calmly: "He is my servant."
"Servant?" Yu Yu's voice was very low.
Ji Ya's hand was covered in cold sweat, and the cold sweat became even more, thinking that he hadn't "shown his face" much before, so the horse thief probably didn't know him?
"Chi!" You Yu suddenly pulled out his sword, and Ji Ya's arm was so frightened that he almost pulled the sword out of its sheath.
You Yu said coldly: "I remember that I have explained a few days ago that you are only allowed to come alone, but you brought others?"
Qi Lv was still very calm. Compared with the tension of Sacrifice Ya, Qi Lv seemed to be doing homework, and even smiled slightly, and said: "In the transfer book, Lv was asked to bring grain, grass and money to redeem people. The food and money, no matter what , one cart will definitely not be able to pull it, if Lulu does not bring servants, how can one person drive so many carts?"
You Yu squinted his eyes, as if he was looking at Qi Lu and Ji Ya. Although Ji Ya had practiced martial arts since childhood, he was not tall, about the same size as Qi Lu. You Yu looked him in the eyes, as if he was thinking about Qi Lu. The credibility of the words, finally snorted, and took the sword back.
Qi Lv said: "The grain, grass and money have been brought, you can count them. Is it not too much for Lu to see the daughter and grandson of Qi State?"
Sitting on the horse, Yu Yu squinted his eyes and looked down at Qi Lu. The corners of his lowered lips twitched slightly, as if he was smiling. This was the second time Qi Lu saw him smile. No matter which time, he felt that it was very inconsistent. It seems that people like You Yu shouldn't laugh by nature, because when he laughed, he was even more shocked, and the ruthlessness on his face was raging like ice and snow.
Yu Yu stared at Qi Lu and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I really want to catch up with Mr. Qi..."
Reminiscing about the past...
Qi Lu is a person who is not afraid of anything, but now there is one more thing to be afraid of, that is, he is afraid that others will reminisce about the old days with him...
Qi Lv has no memory of the "original owner" at all, these past events of Chen Zhima and rotten millet seem to be a bad debt, but one by one
