spring and autumn officials

"Qi Lu! You despicable villain!" General Lian's voice was so penetrating and hoarse, he roared angrily, "If you want to take my army, I will never let you go!!!"

Compared with General Lian's anger, Qi Lu looked very leisurely, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, General, Lu will indeed take your army, and thank you for your generosity, but..."

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Who said that Lu is going to kill the general?"

"You?" General Lian obviously couldn't understand Qi Lu's words.

Since ancient times, if you want to subdue the army, there is nothing more than one way, kill the main general, and then replace the main general. Apart from this method, is there any other good way?

Qi Lu said: "Lv said before that beating, beating, killing and so on is not suitable for Li. We are civilized and good young people. Don't yell about beating and killing every now and then, don't you think so?"

General Lian was dumbfounded by what he said, and if he didn't yell for beating and killing, what would he do?

Qi Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lu not only won't kill you, but also... let you go."

General Lian stared at Qi Lu strangely, he couldn't even speak now, as if he was afraid that Qi Lu might be deceiving him.

Qi Lv said: "God has the virtue of loving life, and our emperor is also kind. Even you, general, are thinking of Qi and obeying orders, so we will not kill you. Not only will we not kill you, but we will let you go and let you go." Those who have to be full of shadows, leave Huben Zhongjun."

General Lian was even more confused, staring at Qi Lu suspiciously with disbelief on his face.

Don't say that General Lian can't believe it, and Gongsun Wuzhi can't believe it either. After all, General Lian holds the military power. If he is released, he will be sent back to the mountain, and there will be endless troubles!

Gongsun Wuzhi wanted to speak, but was stopped by the emperor. Ji Lin raised his hand to signal Gongsun Wuzhi not to worry. Although Ji Lin also had doubts in his heart, he fully trusted Qi Lu and did not want to disrupt Qi Lu's plan.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, we will let the general leave the Chinese army. Whether you want to go back to Linzi to report the letter, or go back to Linzi to intercede, it's up to you. If Lu blocks anything, Gongsun is ignorant." Puppy!"

Gongsun Wuzhi: "..." I seem to have heard my own name, what does it have to do with me!

General Lian was still very confused, squinting his eyes and said: "Qi Lu, no matter what scheme you use, you will not succeed! Do you think our prince is only prepared for this? Then you are very wrong!"

Qi Lu just smiled, and then said: "Okay, let the horse come here."

State of Zheng, in the Palace of Zheng.

Zheng Guoguo's minister Jizhong entered the palace, and soon came to the gate of Lu's palace.He wanted to have an audience with Mr. Zheng Bowu, but he was stopped by the eunuch as soon as he arrived at the door of the bedroom.

The eunuch showed slight embarrassment, stopped Ji Zhong, showed 120 points of respect, and said with a smile: "Master Ji, you are not resting in the mansion today, why did you come into the palace?"

Ji Zhong glanced at the direction of Lu's bedroom, and said lightly: "Please inform me."

The eunuch's face was even more embarrassed, and he said with a smile: "This...the priest doesn't know something, this...Your Majesty is a little busy right now."

As he said this, the sound of singing and laughing suddenly came from the bedroom on the road, and the woman's laughter came faintly, saying: "Duke Zheng, you are lucky to drink! Good luck to you! Girl, hello Zheng Gong!"

Then there was the voice of a strange man, who said with a smile: "Duke Zheng is so righteous, it's really a blessing for our country of Qi! In the future, I have to rely on Mr. Zheng to support me a lot!"

Words like these lingered in the sky above the Lu bedroom, and came out from the gate of the palace. The eunuch coughed and said, "Young minister will not hide the sacrifice, this... this, the envoy of Qi State came in early in the morning. I'm in the palace, and... I brought a lot of beauties, Your Majesty summoned the envoys of the Qi Kingdom, and they have been discussing important matters, so I have something to say first, and no one will come, including...including you, the Prime Minister."

Hearing this, Ji Zhong squinted his eyes, but he didn't have much expression, his face was calm, all emotions and anger were invisible, and he said lightly: "I see, thank you."

As he said that, he turned around to leave, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a "squeak" sound, the door of the palace opened, and someone came out of the road bedroom.

The man was unstable and staggering, with a strong smell of alcohol rushing towards his face. Looking at his clothes, he should be the envoy of Qi State. The envoy was surrounded by a group of beauties, and those beauties supported Qi State. Messenger, everyone is staggering.

Looking at the past from the angle of Jizhong, I can't see the scene in Lu's palace at all, but I can only see the envoy of Qi State keeping bowing to Lu's palace, showing great hospitality, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on Mr. Zheng. Regarding the alliance... I hope Duke Zheng will take care of it, and when my crown prince ascends to the throne someday, I will come personally to thank Duke Zheng for his great kindness!"

A voice came from the hall, it was slightly hoarse, and the voice was slightly drunk, wasn't it the voice of Zheng Bowusheng?He smiled and said, "What are you talking about, the envoy of the State of Qi? We, State of Zheng and State of Qi, are originally an alliance. The country is also a matter of reason."

The envoy of the State of Qi bowed down repeatedly and thanked him several times before turning around and leaving. Being supported by the beauties, he staggered out, and with a sound of "Boom!", he just bumped into Jizhong's body.

Ji Zhong squinted his eyes, the envoy of Qi State looked up and saw Ji Zhong, he was not afraid at all, he did not apologize for offending others at all, instead he raised his chin, looking like a villain, and said: "Yo! Isn't this the sacrificial phase? I thought I bumped into some kind of cat or dog, I really don't know, I'm sorry!"

Jizhong ignored him at all and turned to leave, but was stopped by the envoy of Qi State. The envoy of Qi State grabbed Jizhong's robe and said, "Master Ji, don't rush away. We haven't said anything yet. The prime minister gave a generous gift, but what did the minister do? He still humiliated me. The minister said that Mr. Zheng would never go into this muddy water, so I should give up! How is it, who are you today? Did you see, Zheng Gong agreed, and we will form an alliance with Qi to resist the emperor's tyranny!"

Ji Zhong ignored him at all, looked at him indifferently, and then said: "Are you finished?"

The envoy of the State of Qi was stunned, and after a long time of reaction, Ji Zhong put aside his hand and said coldly, "I've finished speaking, I have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

Ji Zhong didn't even look at the envoy of the State of Qi, and left straight away, walking towards Lu's bedroom.

The bedroom on the road was very dark, and there was still a faint scent of the powder on the women's wine. Ji Zhong walked in, sneezed immediately, and continued walking in, and saw someone leaning beside the table, holding the table with his hands , seems to be in a light sleep.

Ji Zhong went over softly and said in a low voice, "My lord."

Isn't that person who sleeps lightly next to the table the same as Zheng Bowusheng?

Zheng Bowusheng slowly opened his eyes, there was no trace of drunkenness in his eyes, he was clearly sober, he raised his hand and said, "Come here, I have a severe headache."

Ji Zhong immediately walked over, bowed to Zheng Bo, sat down on his knees, gently pressed his forehead for Zheng Bo, and said: "Your superior has a headache again, and you should not drink alcohol."

Zheng Bowusheng had a rare laugh and said: "I didn't drink much, if I don't drink alone, how can the envoys of the Qi Kingdom believe it?"

Prince Zhu'er of the Qi State sent envoys to the State of Zheng for nothing else but to win over Zheng Boyusheng and let Zheng Boyusheng try his best to ensure that he became the king of the State of Qi.The prince Zhu'er also knew that although he was the prince, Gongsun Wuzhi was very popular, and he killed Qi Lu on the way.

So Zhu'er came up with the method of asking General Lian to delay Qi Lu, and at the same time sending people to Zheng Guo to win over Zheng Bowei.In fact, in addition to Zheng Boweisheng, the prince Zhu'er is also planning to win over many people, such as the state of Wei, and the surrounding states of Lu and Ju.

With the support of these countries, if the emperor wanted to support Qi Lu, he would have to weigh it.

Ji Zhong knew the purpose of the envoy of Qi State. When the envoy of Qi State came for the first time, he went to find Ji Zhong and gave Ji Zhong a lot of benefits. The rhetoric of worshiping Zhong as the adoptive father.

Ji Zhong heard this, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, he was not from a public family, and he wasn't even a Qing family. How could it be possible to worship Ji Zhong as the adoptive father, but it's all just painting big cakes.

Ji Zhong resolutely rejected the envoy of Qi State and did not help him in any way, but what he did not expect was that the envoy of Qi State had a wide network of contacts and was actually summoned by Zheng Bowusheng, and judging by the situation, the conversation went smoothly.

Zheng Bowei laughed lightly and said, "It's thanks to Lai Jiqing's cooperation that we can talk so smoothly."

Ji Zhong smiled lightly, and said, "It's all about the wise king who came up with this clever plan."

The envoy of the State of Qi was very proud, and made Ji Zhong face-to-face. Who is Ji Zhong?The first official of Zheng State, as long as it is Jizhong, it is Zheng Boweisheng's words. Today, Zheng Boweisheng refuted Jizhong's face for the envoy of Qi State, and the envoy of Qi State was very satisfied.

In fact, the envoy of Qi State did not know at all that Ji Zhong and Zheng Boweisheng were just playing a white face and the other a red face.

Zheng Bowei laughed lightly, twitched the corners of his lips, and said: "Nowadays, Qi's internal turmoil is suitable for us to fish in troubled waters. As a result, the envoys of Qi State have completely let go of our guard against Zheng State. After entering Qi State, no matter whether it is the emperor's support Taifu Qi is still in the position of Zhuer, as long as he adapts to the situation, the benefits will all belong to my country Zheng."

Ji Zhong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zheng Bowusheng said quietly: "Speaking of it, if Zhu'er comes to the top, it is very simple and cheap. Zhu'er is sinister and holds grudges, but he does not accomplish much. If he comes to the top, it is the opportunity for our country Zheng to develop."

Ji Zhong said indifferently: "It's a pity...according to the current momentum, the princes are dead."

It is not unreasonable for Ji Zhong to say this. Although the crown prince and Zhu'er are direct descendants, in order to fight against the emperor to support Qi Lv, and to fight against Gongsun's ignorant forces, he even thought of the stupid way of attracting foreign enemies to invade. The states of Lu, Lu, and Ju all sent envoys.

You must know that once the soldiers and horses of the four countries arrive in Qi State, they will give the hilt to others, hand over the hilt to others, and point the blade at themselves. This approach is completely unwise and definitely not a winner. Methods.

Zheng Bowusheng said: "It's okay, even if Taifu Qi is in power, we won't do any harm."

Huben Zhongjun.

"Teacher!! Uncle!!"

Gongsun Wuzhi hurriedly grabbed Qi Lu and dragged him aside. The shogunate tent was huge, so Gongsun Wuzhi dragged Qi Lu to a corner and said furtively, "Teacher Qi, my good uncle! What on earth are you doing?" I was thinking, that's General Lian, the general of Qi, if you let him go, wouldn't you just let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Qi Lv wanted to let General Lian go, Gongsun Wuzhi was in a cold sweat, if General Lian really left, he would take his share of grudges in the future, what should I do?

Qi Lv seemed to see Gongsun Wuzhi's worries, smiled at Gongsun Wuzhi, raised his eyebrows, and in the eyes of the emperor, it was as if he was giving a glance.

Qi Lu said: "My dear nephew, it's okay, just listen to my uncle, you're right."

Gongsun Wuzhi wanted to say again that the emperor had already eaten his fill, so he grabbed Qi Lu and pulled Qi Lu back, saying: "It's not too late. If you want to release General Lian, you can let him go today."

Qi Lu nodded, waved his hand and said, "Duke Lao Guo will untie General Lian."

General Lian was dumbfounded, seeing Guo Gong and Ji's father untie him, "Boom!" He fell down on his head with a bang, almost knocked him out of his wits.

General Lian hurriedly got up from the ground. He was naked, gusts of cold wind rushed over, and more importantly, he was ashamed, with goose bumps falling all over his body.

Qi Lu smiled and said, "General Lian, shall we meet again?"

As he spoke, he even slapped General Lian on the back. Because General Lian's clothes were ripped off, Qi Lv slapped him so crisply, and brought it back in the solemn and solemn shogunate camp. sound.

Even the face of the general was burned, and his beard flew off. Thinking that he had been fighting for more than ten years, he had never suffered such a great humiliation, and said viciously: "Qi Lu!! One day you will regret letting me go! I am not with you. Let's live together!!"

After General Lian finished speaking, although he was very angry, he still left in a hurry, almost running away with his head in his arms.

"Eh, wait."

Just when General Lian was about to leave the shogunate, Qi Lu suddenly spoke out.General Lian visibly trembled, as if he was afraid that Qi Lu would turn his back on what he said, and as soon as he turned his head, there was a bang, something smashed over, and hit General Lian's face with his head in his pocket.

Take a closer look, it's clothes!

Qi Lu said with a smile: "General Lian, let's go after dressing up, don't catch a cold?"

General Lian's eyes were like copper bells, they almost popped out of their sockets, panting heavily, he fled with his clothes in his arms, and left without looking back.

Gongsun Wuzhi secretly wiped off his cold sweat, and said in his heart that he was lucky that he didn't offend Taifu Qi completely.From this point of view, it is considered easy for him to sneak back and be caught, at least Qi Lu didn't strip himself naked and hang him up in the street to show the public.

In fact, it’s not that Taifu Qi is too kind. Qi Lu also thought about it, but was severely rejected by the emperor. After all, Gongsun Wuzhi’s attitude towards Qi Lu was unusual at first. How could the emperor let Qi Lu take off Gongsun Wuzhi’s clothes? .

General Lian ran away with his tail between his legs, and Qi Lu waved his hands and said, "General Lian, be stubborn again! Come again next time!"

Gongsun Wuzhi: "..." Why is there something wrong with this tone, so what about the wind and dust?

The Son of Heaven rubbed his forehead helplessly, and said, "Haven't you been stubborn enough?"

Qi Lu smiled and said: "Enough of being stubborn, you say that even the general has fought for many years, why does he still have a small belly?"

Gongsun Wuzhi: "..." Is this the point?

Gongsun Wuzhi scratched the back of his head and said, "I really don't know why the Taifu let the tiger go back to the mountain. Now is our good opportunity to fight against Zhuer!"

Qi Lu said: "My good nephew, you are wrong. Letting General Lian go is our best chance to fight against Zhuer."

Gongsun Wuzhi didn't understand, Qi Lu explained: "In this war, attacking the heart is the most important thing. Besides, this is not our home field, this is the border of Qi State. If we start a war here, we will not get any benefits. Therefore...the heart is the first thing to do, don't fight head-on, think about it, even the general's soldiers and horses were detained by us, but the emperor released the general's entire beard, and he returned to Linzi City alone , will Zhuer believe him?"

Gongsun Wuzhi seemed to understand something in an instant, it seemed to be the reason!

Gongsun Wuzhi said: "Ah! That's right! Zhu'er is a man with no real skills, but he is very suspicious. If General Lian loses all his soldiers and horses, but he goes back and is not injured, Zhu'er will surely die." Be suspicious of him!"

Qi Lv said again: "Think about it again, what can Zhuer do in Qi? Isn't it because of his in-law relationship, he is closer to General Lian? If he loses the right-hand man of General Lian, who else can he deploy? Who else is willing to follow him?"

Gongsun Wuzhi looked educated, and just wanted to express some admiration for Qi Lu, but Qi Lu said with a smile: "Furthermore, Gongsun has feelings for General Lian's cousin at any rate, and even the eldest brother-in-law will be killed." , isn't this too unfeeling?"

"Sentimental?" Gongsun Wuzhi opened his eyes wide and said hastily, "What is sentient being, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, we are really innocent!"

As Gongsun Wuzhi said, he subconsciously glanced at Meng Yang who was standing beside him. Meng Yang had no expression, let alone a word.

Qi Lv rubbed his chin and said: "General Lian has been put back, we can't suffer, and we should spread some rumors, that is, after General Lian came to Huben Central Army, Taifu Qi made soup for General Lian himself, and treated General Lian much. There are so many good things, we must let this rumor spread to Linzi smoothly."

Gongsun Wuzhi said: "Hey! Leave it to me! I have contacts in Linzi, but it's just a rumor. My friends are so many, they are very cheap!"

Qi Lu nodded and said, "Of course it's better to leave this matter to Gongsun, yes..."

As Qi Lu said, he took another look at Gongsun Wuzhi. Gongsun Wuzhi only felt numbness in his back, as if his whole body was electrified by Qi Lu, and he climbed up the back of his spine crispy, his heart was soft. Gudong swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Just when Gongsun Wuzhi was immersed in Qi Lu's "gentle hometown", Qi Lu said ruthlessly: "As for the rumors, Lu feels that one is not enough. In order to convince the princes and children that they are true, a second rumor is needed right now."

Gongsun Wuzhi said, "What rumors?"

Qi Lu stared at Gongsun Wuzhi and said, "The green hat."

"Green hat? What is it?"

Gongsun Wuzhi looked confused, but the Son of Heaven rubbed his forehead. The Son of Heaven had been with Qi Lu for a long time, so he knew some of Qi Taifu's nouns, such as the green hat, which he had heard of.

Qi Lv said: "The reason why the prince's sons trust General Lien is because they are related to General Lian's family. Now that General Lian is running back alone, the prince's sons must doubt him. If it is rumored that General Lian's cousin As for the matter of empathy, what do you think the prince will do?"

Prince Zhu'er actually didn't love General Lian's cousin very much, but he promised to marry General Lian's cousin. Since ancient times, politics and a layer of in-law relationship made it safer, so General Lian and Prince Zhu'er Between them, there is such a layer of in-law relationship.

Qi Lv wants to cut the grass and roots, and completely cut off the connection between the two people. On the one hand, he will start with General Lian, and on the other hand, he will start with his cousin.

Qi Lu smiled and said to Gongsun Wuzhi: "Just trouble Gongsun to spread the two or three things that have to be said about Gongsun Wuzhi, the most beautiful man in Qi State, and the sister of General Lien at the same time...such gossip news."

"Two, two or three things?!" Gongsun Wuzhi woke up from the dream in an instant, and it turned out that Taifu Qi smiled so sweetly at him just now, but he was actually uneasy and kind.

Gongsun Wuzhi immediately said: "General Lian's sister and I are fine at all! We are really fine!"

Qi Lv said: "Who told you to have something? It's just rumors. The princes are suspicious by nature, so they will definitely become more suspicious."

Gongsun Wuzhi's eyelids jumped wildly, wiped the sweat off his face, and muttered, "Why should I spread rumors for myself..."

But in the final analysis, it was too late, because the people who jumped into Qi Lu's trap were not only General Lian, but also... Gongsun Wuzhi.

Qi State, Linzi City.

"Prince! Prince! Something is wrong! Something is wrong!"

Although the crown prince Zhu'er has not officially ascended the throne, he has already moved into Qi's palace, and has long regarded himself as the official Qi king.

Surrounded by beauties, the prince and his sons were eating wine when they heard the eunuch yelling and ran in scrambling.

The prince Zhu'er said coldly: "What are you doing in such a panic that you're disturbing my prince's pleasure!"

The eunuch hurriedly said, "Prince, Peiqiu...there is news from Peiqiu."

Prince Zhu'er smiled and said, "Yes, but General Lian managed to hold off Huben's army?"

"This..." The eunuch hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even all the soldiers and horses of the general...all were detained by the Tiger Army!"

"What did you say!?"

The prince pushed away the female wine beside him angrily, stood up suddenly, and roared: "Trash!! Trash!! They are all mediocre dogs!! Useless!"

Prince Zhu'er slammed the wine glass earcup on the ground with a slap, but the wine glass ear cup was made of bronze, so it could not be broken, and jumped up again when it fell to the ground, the angry prince Zhu'er rushed over and chopped it hard Go up a few feet.

Prince Zhu'er roared, "Where's Lian Jin?!"

"Back, back to the emperor's words..." The eunuch said tremblingly: "General, general seems to have escaped, and is rushing to... on the way to Linzi."

"Report--!"

"Prince! General Lian is back! I'm begging to see you at the city of Linzi! Asking to enter the city!"

Prince Zhu'er roared, "Hurry up and bring him in!"

After he finished shouting, he rolled his eyes, raised his hand and said, "Wait! How many people are there with General Lian?"

The soldier replied: "Back to the prince, General Lian came back alone without anyone with him."

"What?!" Prince Zhu'er narrowed his eyes and said, "He came back alone? Then...was he injured?"

The soldier said: "Back to the prince, General Lian seems to be uninjured."

Prince Zhu'er squinted his eyes, his pupils were spinning in their sockets, and he felt more and more that something was wrong. All the soldiers and horses of Qi State were detained, and even the general ran back alone, was he not injured?

The more the prince thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he said, "Wait! Don't let General Lian in here yet! Pass on my order and send a hundred elites to detain General Lian!"

Although the soldier hesitated a bit, he still cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I respect you!"

General Lian managed to run back to Linzi from the Central Army of Huben. The journey was full of difficulties and dangers. After all, he was the only one with no money on him, so he returned to Linzi City and failed to enter the city, but heard a loud bang. The city gate was wide open, and it was not the crown prince who came out to greet him personally, but a hundred elites from the Qi Kingdom came out from the city gate and directly surrounded him.

"What are you doing? Are you going to rebel!?" General Lian roared angrily, but the soldiers only obeyed the order and rushed forward immediately, arresting General Lian.

General Lian struggled and shouted: "I want to see the prince! This is all Qi Lu's trick!! This is all Qi Lu's trick! I want to see the prince!!"

There was a riot at the gate of Linzi city, the general was detained, and the situation in the city changed for a while.Qi Lv's guess was too accurate. Although the princes and Zhu'er had no achievements, they had a common problem of rulers, which was paranoia.

Just in case, the prince Zhu'er also decided to arrest General Lian first. Without General Lian sitting in Linzi City, the factions in the city would be fighting endlessly.

Prince Zhu'er was very troubled. At this time, the envoy sent to Zheng Guo came back and brought "good news" to Prince Zhu'er, that is, Mr. Zheng Boyu had promised to reinforce Qi State, and Zheng Guo's army would enter soon The state of Qi met with the princes and princes outside the city of Linzi.

The envoy smiled graciously and said, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince! Zheng Guo is a powerful country in the world, with the help of Zheng Guo, the prince will definitely be able to ascend to the throne as he wishes!"

Prince Zhu'er clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good news. What about the other countries? What about Wei? What about Lu? What about Ju?"

Doctor Qing said: "Prince, don't worry. The state of Wei has agreed and is on the way. As for the state of Lu, it has not made a statement yet and is waiting for the reply from the state of Lu. But don't worry, the prince. The purpose of the emperor is our Eastern Three Kingdoms." Therefore, the State of Lu must not sit still and wait for death. The State of Ju agreed to form an alliance with the crown prince early on, so it will be outside the city of Linzi in the day after tomorrow."

The prince Zhuer smiled sinisterly and said: "Okay! Very good! You will be in charge of the alliance. It must be grand. I don't believe it. I have four states: Qi, Zheng, Ju, and Lu. The country is twisted together, can the emperor still resist us?!"

"It's not good, it's not good! It's not good!!"

In the camp of the Central Army of the Huben Army, a series of shouts came from far and near. The emperor finally took a break and breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up a piece of boiled pig's trotter that was soft and rotten, but it was quite chewy, and suddenly heard a burst of pig slaughtering. With the same yelling, there was a thud, and the pig's trotters escaped from the chopsticks in an instant and fell on the desk, and there was another thump, because it was too loud, and fell from the desk to the ground again.

Son of Heaven: "..."

With a bang, the curtains of the camp tent were slammed up instantly, and someone rushed in from outside in a panic.

This bluffing voice, who else could it be if it wasn't Gongsun Wuzhi?

Qi Lu was relatively calm, put down the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Gongsun came just in time, did he smell the fragrance? Lu made a pig's trotter pot today, and Gongsun wants to try it too?"

Last time, the pig's trotter pot was eaten by two small bean buns, Gongzi Jiu and Gongzi Xiaobai. The emperor complained for a long time, so he asked Qi Lu to "secretly" make a portion for himself, only for himself to eat. coming.

As soon as the emperor heard this, he immediately wanted to protect the food. Who knew that Gongsun Wuzhi didn't even look at the pig's trotter pot, and said, "Don't eat! What time is it, are you still eating?! Don't eat!"

Qi Lu said leisurely: "Unless Mars hits the earth, the sky and the earth are big, and the food is the biggest."

Gongsun Wuzhi was taken aback, and said, "Mars? Earth? What are those?"

Gongsun Wuzhi was stunned for a moment, then realized, and quickly said: "I really have a serious matter! The big thing is not good! Zhuer, he is playing tricks again! It turns out that General Lian came to the Central Army to delay We, Zhuer, are so stubborn that he secretly sent envoys to contact the four countries of Zheng, Wei, Lu, and Ju, hoping to borrow troops and form alliances!"

Qi Lu wasn't too surprised when he heard that, he just said, "Oh? A meeting?"

"That's right!" Gongsun Wuzhi said in a panic, "You don't know that now Wei and Ju have agreed, and Zheng also agreed. Lu is obviously a fool, and the other three countries have agreed. I will agree, and we will form an alliance soon! What can they do? If you think about it with your toes, you know what you want to do. It is nothing more than to support the prince and Zhuer. Once we let them form an alliance, we will be finished?!"

Qi Lu still didn't panic, thought for a while, and then asked: "Where is the meeting place? It can't be in Linzi city."

Gongsun Wuzhi said: "Of course it's not in the city of Linzi. I inquired about it, and it's not far outside the city of Linzi. The alliance camp has already been built. It's definitely not groundless!"

Unexpectedly, when Qi Lu heard this, he was not embarrassed at all, but laughed instead.

Gongsun Wuzhi twitched twice, looked at Qi Lu strangely, and said, "Teacher Qi? Uncle? What are you laughing at? Could it be a wry smile?"

After hearing Gongsun Wuzhi's words, the emperor didn't feel any distress, and put another pig's trotter in his Chengpan, ready to dismantle the pig's trotter.

Gongsun Wuzhi scratched the back of his head, and heard the emperor say: "The meeting is good, it hasn't been this lively for a long time."

Qi Lv nodded and said: "That's right, it's not so easy to deal with this prince Zhuer if he hides in Linzi City all the time, and it's not easy for us to break ground on the territory of Qi State, but if he steps out of Linzi City, it's not easy." That's easy."

Gongsun Wuzhi glanced left at the Son of Heaven and right at Qi Lv. He didn't know what kind of riddle the two were playing, but he didn't understand it anyway.

Qi Lu said to Gongsun Wuzhi: "It's just right, let's join in the fun."

Gongsun Wuzhi said strangely: "Zhuer's alliance is clearly aimed at us, why should we join in the fun?"

Qi Lv shook his head and said, "Of course we're going to join in the fun. You also know that this meeting is aimed at us. If we don't go, wouldn't it be a lot of fun?"

Gongsun Wuzhi still didn't understand, Qi Lv explained: "All the children's alliances are nothing more than wanting other countries to support him, but he doesn't want to think about it. , as long as we defeat each other, will they help the crown prince when they see that the situation is wrong? At that time, it is not certain who the alliance is aimed at."

Gongsun Wuzhi squinted his eyes and thought for a while, it seems to be the case.

Qi Lv said again: "Besides, the alliance is just about terms. Whoever offers good conditions will naturally support him. If the emperor can give it, he is afraid that he will lose to the prince Zhu'er? It seems that the prince Zhu'er is the best candidate this time." If you want to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice..."

The crown prince proposed an alliance, and Zheng Guo, Ju Guo, and Wei Guo responded. The Lu State was still hesitant, but finally responded. After all, Qi State, Lu State, and Ju State are the three major countries in the east. Li didn't deal with it very much, but everyone knew the emperor's ambition to consolidate the authority of the central government. If the authority of the emperor increased, wouldn't the authority of the vassal states become smaller?

After much consideration, the State of Lu decided to join the alliance.

There are a total of five national alliances, just outside the city of Linzi. Because the princes and sons dare not run too far, and the time is relatively short, they made impromptu preparations, built a large camp for the alliance, and cast an altar.

Because the prince Zhuer lost trust in General Lian, several generals were temporarily promoted, and they came out of Linzi City with soldiers and horses from Qi State, and stationed in Huimeng camp.

The monarchs and envoys of Lu and Ju came early. After all, Lu and Ju are nearby, and they are all below Qi, so it is easier to travel.

The state of Zheng and the state of Wei are relatively far away from the state of Qi, and the journey is somewhat difficult. It was originally planned that the state of Zheng and the state of Wei would arrive at the camp of the Huimeng today.

Zheng Guo and Wei Guo are both big countries, so the princes greeted them outside the camp early, preparing to leave a good impression on both countries.

Zheng Boxuan's chariot rustled the loess outside Linzi City, and came all the way. When the princes saw the chariot and the big flag on it, they immediately went out of the camp and ran several steps forward. He cupped his hands and said, "My nephew has met Shi Bo!"

As soon as the prince Zhu'er came up, he became a relative with Zheng Boweisheng.Mr. Zheng Boyu got off the bus. He was no longer a young man. He had been a monarch for so many years, and he came to the throne at the age of 13. He had already developed a sense of majesty and hypocrisy.

Zheng Boxuan got off the cart, put his hand on his sword, and said with a smile: "The prince of Qi is very polite. When Duke Qi passed away, I was alone to come to express my condolences. In my heart..."

As he spoke, he raised his hands and covered his eyes with his wide palms, as if he couldn't bear it, but he didn't actually cry, and his eyes weren't even red.

Prince Zhu'er hurriedly said: "My uncle has such a heart, and my nephew is very grateful. Today, my uncle is able to come to the alliance, and my nephew is even more grateful. I can't thank you enough!"

Prince Zhu'er stepped forward, took Zheng Bowu's hand, and said very kindly: "Shibo, my nephew has a lot to say, and I want to talk to Shibo alone."

Zheng Bowei said with a smile, "There's no need to worry about it. We won't be too late to talk until all the members of the alliance have arrived."

The two sides were talking, when they heard the sound of ruts, the princes raised their eyes quickly and looked at the place where the sky and the earth meet, a piece of loess rolling, the battle was full, and another group of soldiers and horses came.

Today's original plan was for Zheng Guo and Wei Guo's alliance team to come from afar. Now that Zheng Guo has arrived, Wei Guo is the only one left.

Prince Zhu'er took a closer look, isn't it Wei Guo?

The team was magnificent and mighty, but there were no light carts. What was in front of them was a cart with a big flag on it, which was the flag of the state of Wei!

And it is the banner of the king of Wei.

Prince Zhu'er immediately went up to meet him, and said with a smile, "Wei Gong! Wei Gong, you are here! Zhu'er really expected you to come!"

The cart slowly approached, and stopped at the gate of the camp, but did not get off immediately, with the curtain of the cart hanging down, it was impossible to see what was inside.

The prince Zhu'er didn't hear the response, so he was a little embarrassed, thinking it was Naqiao, the monarch of Weiguo.Wei State and Qi State are both marquis countries, so they are of the same generation, but Wei State came from the monarch, and the children of Qi State have not yet ascended the throne, so the children thought that the other party was taking Joe, so they had to endure it.

Prince Zhu'er swallowed a breath, and said with a smile: "Duke Wei, you really made Zhu'er wait! Today, Duke Wei, you can respond to Zhu'er and come to this alliance to fight against the tyranny of the emperor. Zhu'er is really grateful No..." Endless.

He hadn't finished speaking when he heard a sound of "哗啦——" and the curtain of the tent was suddenly slapped.

The heavy curtain of the luggage cart was opened, and someone came down from inside Shi Shiran, stepping on the pedals, and the prince's sons took a closer look, but didn't say the last half of the sentence, so frightened, "Hey—" He took a breath of air, took two steps back, and fell to the ground with a thud, making a big ass!

"Qi...Qi, Qi Lu?!"

The one who got out of Wei State's carriage was not the king of Wei State, but Qi Lu Qi Taifu who was the head of Luo Shi's three princes!

Prince Zhu'er sat down on the ground, his eyes widened in fright, and he said in shock: "You you..."
