Dongyin

But Duan Hong rode on horseback for two days without seeing any pursuers, so she was relieved. Occasionally, she saw Zhou Ye riding a strong black horse in front of her, and she suddenly became interested and went Stealthily followed, and kicked that horse's ass.

The horse suffered from pain and was about to run away, Zhou Ye hurriedly grabbed the horse's belly and reined in the rope forcefully, the horse raised its hooves a few times and managed to stabilize itself.

Duan Hong watched from behind, and said with a smile, "The general is very skilled."

Zhou Ye sighed, Duan Hong was so stubborn that he was worried. Because he said: "If your Highness can persist in practicing kong, given time, his skill will definitely not be bad." It's just that Duan Hong doesn't practice martial arts and doesn't read books, he follows Chang Taiqing every day Mess. Or stay in the palace all day, eat and sleep, eat and sleep, and don't grow a few taels of meat all year round.

In fact, Zhou Ye's thinking is one-sided. I haven't seen him for three days, so I should look at him with admiration. What's more, he hasn't been floating in the sky for two or three years. Duan Hong didn't hear Zhou Ye's complaint, and asked him for training methods.

Zhou Ye then told what he saw in his life one by one, including what kind of boulder he had in his chest, and how he took out the frying pan with his bare hands.

Duan Hong was amazed again and again. He was still relieved in his heart, it seems that Zhou Ye has learned how to behave in the past two years, and he knows how to turn around when he speaks.

No more gossip. Just say that this way down, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people and animals are harmonious, and the journey is very smooth. After □□ days, the group finally arrived at the foot of the Lion Mountain.

Duan Hong sighed lightly, living away for three years, even though the peach blossoms are still there, it is a great feeling again.

Just in case, Duan Hong recuperated his troops and rested, and asked people to disguise themselves as ordinary people to inspect first.

Two hours later, the observing soldiers rushed back excitedly, saying that they could enter the city.

Zhou Ye asked the soldier, "How did you know that you can enter the city?" The state of Zhou was in a difficult situation, and Duan Hong led his troops to come. Could it be that the king of Zhou would open the gates of the city? There must be fraud here!

Everyone stretched their necks, waiting for the soldier to answer.

The soldier said, "I went all the way, and saw many people leaving the city with their families. My subordinate asked the passers-by why, and replied that the palace announced that the king of Zhou deliberately drove out the homeless people from the city in order to welcome the king. The subordinates rushed to the gate of the city, and saw the Qi flag on the tower, and learned that the King of Zhou had chariots and chariots in the city, and guards of honor, so he knew it."

Although the language was poorly organized, Zhou Ye still understood the meaning. It meant that King Zhou welcomed them, but just thinking about it made his face turn green.

Sure enough, Duan Hong's face sank, and he thought deeply, "King Zhou's wishful thinking is really resounding." Flying the flag of Qi, King An's battle, it really is a traitor.

"Will your Highness go or not?" Zhou Ye was angry, so he said that Duan Hong would not come or not. This is all right, Qi State is about to change the target of public criticism. If someone puts a hot face on it, it won't burn you to death .

"Go. Why don't you go?" Duan Hong glanced at him coldly, Zhou Ye's demeanor disgusted her, she raised her head and said, "Get Chang Taiqing out of the car, let's go on horseback!"

"Yes!" Zhou Ye lowered his head slightly, then drove his horse to the carriage, and kicked the door with his feet, "My lord, if you don't roll down yet, I want this general to come and hug you."

As soon as this remark came out, the attendants on both sides laughed. Chang Taiqing rubbed his waist and was about to scold, but saw a big hand lift the curtain, and Zhou Ye stared at him with a pair of copper eyes, "Old man! You only know how to cater to him." Your Majesty, regardless of family and country, I call you a thousand bells without eating swords, and merits are not rewarded with blood stained clothes!"

"What are you doing?" Chang Taiqing pulled up his robe tightly and hurriedly got out of the car, only to see Zhou Ye sitting firmly on the horse, he laughed out loud.

Zhou Ye said, "What a loyal and dedicated Master Chang, you should be remembered in the history books!"

Duan Hong knew that Zhou Ye's words were all to provoke her, so he let them fight, and he had the right to go out for an outing.

After walking about two or three miles, a group of deacons suddenly came out on the road. Nearly twenty officials were wearing bright red official uniforms, and there was even a 36-seat car, followed by an advocacy band of more than two hundred people. Duan Hong looked at the formation, I felt panicked from the cold all over. This piece of sweet potato was stuck to her.

The leading ceremony officer trotted over on a horse, knelt down in front of Duan Hong and said, "Your Majesty has finally arrived, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Put your mother's shit on!" Zhou Ye became angry when he heard it, "I want to get lost and worship you, old Chitose, I think you are a donkey laying eggs, and you have trampled your life!"

"General! This lord is old and blind." Duan Hong looked at the ceremony official and smiled slightly, "Is it wrong?"

"Yes, yes." The ceremonial officer stood up tremblingly, sweating on his brow, "His Royal Highness King Qi is a man of nature, wise and powerful. I'm a humble official, so I knelt down before I knew it."

"Your Excellency, don't be nervous." Duan Hong got off his horse, patted the ceremonial officer's shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Wang heard that after the spring news, the people in Zhou had nowhere to live, and it is expected that the relief of food and grass will not be a long-term solution. In order to repay Mr. Zhou's kindness in helping me return to the country with his troops, today I have led three thousand troops here to help your country regain its prestige."

"Yes, yes." The etiquette officer was so shocked that he didn't dare to vent his breath, and nodded quickly.

Duan Hong got on his horse, and without turning his head, he said to his attendant, Zhang Yuandao, "Write it down!"

Zhang Yuan took out a pen and paper, and read, "On April [-]st, the eighth year of the Qi calendar, the king of Qi cultivated faith and accumulated righteousness, worked tirelessly, and returned three thousand soldiers to Zhou."

The ceremonial officer was stunned, and hurriedly laughed and said, "Your Majesty is really loyal, and the officials admire you. It's been a long time since I've resigned, why don't I go to the city to rest first."

Duan Hong looked at the guard of honor and said, "No way. Xiao Wang is still here waiting for Zhou Jun to go in together." Then he turned back and asked Zhang Yuan, "You can write down the matter of the lonely king waiting for Zhou Jun."

Zhang Yuan said, "Returning to Your Highness, although this matter is small, it is the details that can reveal His Highness's virtues, so it should be written down!"

Remember your sister, remember, you have to remember this stupid thing! The ceremonial officer was so angry that he had to say to Duan Hong, "Your Majesty, wait a moment." Because he returned, he had to withdraw the guard of honor after discussing with all the adults, and said that King Zhou had returned The palace is gone, Duan Hong is invited to enter the city. No show.

But that city is full of ten rooms and nine empty buildings, with broken wells and ruined walls. Duan Hong walked all the way, not to mention the shadow of a person, and he didn't even see a shadow of a ghost.

The ceremonial officer also saw the clues, the blind donkey of the country actually drove all the people away. He hurriedly explained, "Recently, supplies are scarce, and the people are dressed in rags. I'm afraid it will be insulting, so I cleared the way."

Duan Hong thought to himself, she didn't want to give her such a broken land for nothing, it was worth those princes fighting openly and secretly to snatch it. The grand and elevated palace.

The ceremonial official smiled and said, "This is the palace for welcoming foreign envoys. Envoys from all over the world live in it."

Duan Hong couldn't help but look at him fixedly, feeling a hint of secret joy in his heart, Bai Yan lived there

The ceremonial officer was startled, and hurriedly said, "However, it is our country's honor to have the king come from such a long distance. Our majesty has specially spared us living quarters to welcome the king to live in the palace and share the entertainment."

What! Duan Hong paused for a moment, then slowly smiled and said, "Your country's exaltation, Xiao Wang can't stand it."

The ceremonial official wanted to say something, but Zhou Ye stopped him and said, "Jun Zhou's kindness, I will accept it. Don't persuade me, my lord!" What a joke, envoys from other countries live here, but Duan Hong is treated separately .

"But..." The ceremonial officer showed embarrassment, but a flash of inspiration "This palace can't live in it...."

Ah! Everyone was really surprised, there was no room for such a big palace. No one knew it was fake, but no one wanted to expose it.

The ceremonial officer was proud of himself, and showed his face, "My lord. You also know that the water rose a few days ago, and there is no place to live in other countries this week. So I can only wrong you to go to the palace to rest for a few days."

"Really?" Duan Hong smiled coldly, reined in his horse tightly, and stopped right in front of the palace.

Duan Hong really searched for vacant houses! The ceremony official smiled, bowed and made a gesture of invitation and said in a low voice, "You just search!"

Duan Hong looked up and saw three big golden characters "Shaohua Palace" written on the forehead of the temple.

Shaohua Palace! Duan Hong smiled lightly and said, "My lord said no, how can the lonely king not believe it? But if the lonely king really lives in the palace, I'm afraid he will attract criticism from the princes! How about this, to avoid embarrassment for you and me, the lonely king will live there gone."

After finishing speaking, he pointed with his hand. Everyone's eyes widened. It was an open space in front of Shaohua Palace!

The ceremonial officer's eyes were red with anxiety, and he was about to persuade him, but Duan Hong ordered Chang Taiqing to urge the soldiers to camp here, and said, "General, follow the lonely king into the palace."

Zhou Ye took the order, ignored the ceremony official, and left without dust.

Duan Hong went to the palace to meet the King of Zhou, and they did not talk about perfunctory words. Only in the evening, King Zhou held a banquet in a side hall for envoys from various countries. There were two guests of honor in the hall, and Duan Hong was invited. Duan Hong refused and sat down. .Sweep in all directions, but Bai Yan is nowhere to be seen.She was full of confusion in her heart, and felt that the next seat had glances from time to time, the intention was half doubt, half anger, and vaguely sad. She raised her head and looked back, her eyes met, she felt a headache, trouble is coming!

I saw that this young man was wearing light armor and had handsome features. He was Chu Xiying's younger brother---Chu Jilan!
