spring and autumn officials

Started early, left the Huimeng camp early, and went to meet up with Gao Xi at the agreed place.

Dressed as a servant, Qi Lu mixed in with the crowd entering the city, looking completely inconspicuous, and soon followed the flow of people.

Today is the day when the new king enters the city, and the control of the North City Gate has become much stricter, but Qi Lu has not been interrogated too much, and all kinds of "identity cards" are prepared by Gao Xi in advance and given to Qi Lu, so there is nothing wrong with it .

After checking Qi Lu's talisman at the city gate, he let it go smoothly.Qi Lv walked forward with his head down, strode calmly away from the city gate, made a circle, and came to the meeting point with Gao Xi.

Sure enough, there was already someone waiting in the remote place. The man was tall and slender from the back, with a gentle manner. If he was a bit lonely, he must be Gao Xi.

Qi Lu walked over, Gao Xi turned his head and said: "The large army has entered the south gate of Linzi, let's go, please come and meet with Xi, Your Majesty."

Qi Lu nodded, Gao Xi made a gesture of invitation, Qi Lu walked forward, who knew that he had just taken a step, but before he could move forward, he suddenly felt a numbness in the back of his neck, "Boom!" There was a loud sound, Gao Xi unexpectedly attacked Qi Lu suddenly, Qi Lu only felt a hard object hitting the back of his head, he was dizzy and dizzy, he couldn't stand still, and fell to the ground with a "boom."

Qi Lu was groggy, couldn't open his eyes, his throat was rolling, he felt nauseous, he felt like he was staggering in a daze, he should be in the luggage cart.

bang——

Qi Lu was lifted off from the cart and thrown heavily on the ground, and then there was a sound of stomping, and someone stood in front of Qi Lu.

Qi Lu was not very sober, tried to open his eyes, but still couldn't see clearly, only saw a few figures shaking in front of him, distorted, even their voices were distorted like monsters.

A cold voice said: "Qi Lu, I brought it for you."

Qi Lv was hit hard on the back of the head and suffered some concussions. After a while, the buzzing in the ears subsided, and he tried his best to distinguish the cold voice.

Yes……

It's Gao Xi!

The speaker turned out to be Gao Xi.That's right, the person who attacked Qi Lu was also Gao Xi!

The other voice was a bit old, it was Qi Lu's unfamiliar voice, he laughed and said, "Very good, well done! Qi Lu would never have dreamed that it was Gao Xi, you who betrayed him."

Gao Xi's voice was full of indifference, and she said, "I hope Da Situ will do what he says."

Da Situ?

Although Qi Lu couldn't tell who the old voice was, Gao Xi had already revealed the other party's identity.

The voice of Da Situ chattered and laughed, and said: "Don't worry, what you lack is just an opportunity. You can be regarded as far-sighted and knowledgeable about current affairs by helping the old man to seize the meritorious service of Qi Lv. As long as the prince succeeds in ascending the throne, the old man I have accepted you as a student, are you afraid that you will not be able to make a name for yourself in the future?"

Linzi City, South Gate.

After the meeting of the princes, Qi Lu was unanimously elected as the king of Qi.Qi Lv is the younger brother of Qihou Lufu. He has a good name and integrity, and has both ability and political integrity. He is a sage in the world and deserves it.

Today is the day when Qi Lu, the new king of Qi, enters Linzi City and officially takes the throne.Because of the alliance of the princes, all the monarchs were there, so they entered Linzi City together to witness and participate in Qi Lu's enthronement ceremony.

The team drove to the gate of Linzi City in a mighty way, headed by the Son of Heaven, guarded by the majestic Huben Army, followed by the four monarchs Lu Gong, Weihou, Zheng Bo, and Juzi. There are also quite a few troops guarding them, all of whom are the best among the elite.

When they came to the south gate of Linzi City, they saw a young man wearing an official robe of the state of Qi came out quickly, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Guozhong welcomes the emperor, welcomes the new king to the throne, welcomes Lu Gong, Wei Gong, Zheng Gong, Great Lord Ju."

Sitting in the luxury carriage, Ji Lin raised the curtains a little, and glanced out. He was called Guozhong, and he must be the favorite student of Da Situ and the candidate for Da Situ in the future.

Guo Zhong was young, also in his early twenties, although he was a literati, he had the tall physique of a military general, but his temperament was upright and elegant, giving him a completely reliable feeling.

Ji Lin glanced out. Hearing Guozhong's tone, he obviously didn't know that Qi Lu was not in the team, so he immediately laughed, but his smile didn't reach his eyes, and with a sense of serenity, accompanied by the cool breeze of early spring, he said coolly: " Why? You and the monarchs traveled far away to watch the ceremony, but you Qi State only sent a doctor to welcome you, it is really a state of etiquette."

Guozhong's face darkened, as if he couldn't bear it. After all, what the emperor said was the truth. Although Guozhong was considered a leader among the younger generation, his qualifications were still low, and his face was also thin. The emperor and the monarchs of all countries, from dukes to viscounts They all came to Zicheng to watch the ceremony, Guozhong came out to greet them alone, it was really rude.

The Spring and Autumn Period paid attention to etiquette and righteousness, especially external etiquette.In order not to be disrespectful, most of the officers sent out, that is, diplomats, are older people, because older people have rich experience and will not be misunderstood and despised.

Today, only Guozhong came to the gate of the city, let alone the emperor, the faces of the other monarchs were not good-looking, and they felt that they had been neglected and belittled.

Juzi was not at odds with Qi State, after all, they were all Eastern Three Kingdoms, and he just had a discord on a regular basis, so he sneered and said, "Qi State is afraid that it wants to look down on Gu? It doesn't matter if you look down on Gu. Now, the Qi State only sent a yellow-haired boy, how could he be so ignorant of etiquette?!"

Guozhong was cursing at Juzi, when he heard the sound of "da da da" horseshoes, a cart was driving fast, an old man stood on the cart, and before the cart stopped, he jumped off from above , Hurry up to salute, and say: "The sinner is late, the sinner is late! I also ask the emperor and the kings to make atonement, forgive the sin!"

Everyone took a closer look, this old man who came in a hurry, isn't he the Great Situ of Qi?

Da Situ walked in a hurry, with sweat on his forehead, knelt down to salute with a thud, and said: "The sinful minister is old, and his old illness relapsed before leaving the house, so he came late, and neglected the emperor and the monarchs. It is a great crime!"

Da Situ is not young, his white hair knelt on the ground and bowed his head twice. The emperor and all the monarchs are "newcomers", so it is not difficult to be the elder of Qi.What's more, the emperor has other plans. The most important thing today is to let Qi Lu ascend the throne smoothly. For the rest, don't cause unnecessary trouble.

The emperor looked very friendly and said: "Situ is old and loyal to the state of Qi. How can the widow blame Da Situ? Please get up."

Da Situ stood up tremblingly, and his disciple Guozhong immediately went to help him.He stood up, looked around, cupped his hands and said, "The sinner dares to ask the emperor, this... I don't know where the new king of Qi is?"

Not to mention that Da Situ didn't see Qi Lu, even Lu Gong, Wei Hou, Zheng Bo and Juzi didn't see Qi Lu. It was only when Da Situ mentioned it that everyone noticed.On weekdays, Qi Lu had the closest relationship with the Son of Heaven, and they always rode in the same carriage, so when the carriage left the Huimeng camp, everyone didn't see Qi Lu's carriage, and they didn't take it seriously. Thinking about it now...

Da Situ pretended to detain the son Zhu'er and wanted to lure Qi Lu into Linzi City, how could the emperor do what he wanted?The emperor smiled slightly, with that smile in his hands, and said: "Don't worry about Da Situ. The new king of Qi is already in Linzi City. What Da Situ needs to arrange is the enthronement ceremony tonight, and the rest don't need to worry about it." Worry."

Da Situ repeatedly confirmed that there was no sign of Qi Lu, he hesitated for a while, and then he said: "This... the sinful minister dares, the emperor's tiger army, and the army of the kings, cannot enter the city of Linzi. , please the Son of Heaven and all the monarchs to join us and enter the city."

The emperor had expected long ago that the army of tigers and armies of other countries would not be able to march into the capital of Qi, but as long as Qi Lu could enter the city smoothly, even if Da Situ supported the sons and sons, as soon as Qi Lu appeared at the enthronement ceremony, the king of Qi would not be able to enter the city. The position must belong to Qi Lu, there is no doubt about it.

The emperor didn't force it, and said, "Naturally."

Da Situ arranged for the emperor and the monarchs to stay in the building, and enter the palace of Qi State at night to observe the enthronement ceremony of the new king of Qi State.

Da Situ respectfully sent the emperor into the building, waited for the emperor to walk away, and slowly straightened his body bent into a bow, and let out a hoarse laughter in his throat, as if he was grinding old bark, and said tremblingly: "The Son of Heaven wants to fight the old man, but he is still young, just wait a few more years!"

Guozhong also supported Da Situ, his mentor, and when he heard Da Situ's words, he turned his head to look at Da Situ strangely.

According to the agreement, Ji Lin entered the building and stayed there, ready to meet Qi Lv.Immediately asked someone to inquire about Qi Lu's news, and Gongsun Wuzhi volunteered. After all, he has entered Linzi City now, this is the world of Gongsun Wuzhi, and he has many connections.

Gongsun Wuzhi hurried to inquire, and about half an hour later, Ji Lin heard a "squeak", and someone rushed in through the door. Ji Lin looked up happily, thinking that it was Qi Lv who came to meet them, and decided At first glance, it was Gongsun Wuzhi who had left earlier.

Gongsun Wuzhi was sweating profusely, and even Meng Yang, who had always been calm, looked ugly, and Qi Lu was not following behind them, and even Qi Lu was nowhere to be seen.

Ji Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Where's Duke Qi?"

Gongsun Wuzhi said in shock, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is gone!"

"Missing?" Ji Lin said sharply, "What do you mean missing?!"

Gongsun Wuzhi was at a loss, with a dazed look on his face, as if suffering from aphasia, he couldn't speak clearly for a while, but Meng Yang calmed down and said, "As far as the emperor is concerned, I have not found any trace of your majesty in the city of Linzi."

Ji Lin frowned, forming a Sichuan character, and said, "Didn't Duke Qi enter Linzi City at the north gate earlier? Why did he disappear? Did you go looking for Gao Xi?"

Gongsun Wuzhi said repeatedly: "I found it! I found it! But... But Gao Xi is in the palace, and his relatives said that he went to the palace early in the morning, and there is no one to see!"

Ji Lin felt a little bad feeling in his heart. He was no longer the unsuspecting emperor who let people fish for meat. Qi Lv's method was foolproof, and the emperor and the princes "opened the way". If there was a problem, it could only be one There is a problem with the link...

Ji Lin's voice was hoarse, and he said in a deep voice, "Gao, Xi!"

Although Gongsun Wuzhi is not suitable for court battles, and his temper is too good to suffer, but he is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very shrewd. It is precisely because of Gongsun Wuzhi's shrewdness that Qihou Lufu loves Gongsun Wuzhi.

Now that Gongsun Wuzhi heard Ji Lin say the word "Gaoxi", his heart trembled, and he suddenly said, "Gaoxi betrayed your lord? That's bad..."

Their strategy is actually very simple. If there is a problem, the problem must be on Gao Xi, and there is no second candidate.

Qi Lu entered the north gate early in the morning, and then disappeared without a trace. It was such a coincidence that Gao Xi entered the palace early in the morning, and never left the palace again. Xi, in this way, Gao Xi can escape.

"Now..." Gongsun Wuzhi said in a panic, "What should we do now? Isn't Your Majesty a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?" , Didn’t we personally send the emperor to the hands of Da Situ and Zhuer...then...the enthronement ceremony that night..."

If Qi Lu didn't show up, the enthronement ceremony would be to make a wedding dress for Zhu'er, and Da Situ would definitely support Zhu'er as the king of Qi.Zhu'er is the crown prince appointed by Qihou Lufu. Although his conduct is not good and there have been scandals, he is indeed the crown prince and the eldest son.

Hearing Gongsun Wuzhi's words, Ji Lin's complexion became worse and worse, "Boom!!", he kicked the case out fiercely, almost roaring: "Look for it!!! To search is to turn Linzi City upside down, dig three feet, and find Duke Qi!"

The hours passed by, and seeing that dusk was approaching, it was about to be the enthronement ceremony of the new king of Qi.

This enthronement ceremony is almost unprecedented. Not only the emperor will be present in person, but also the monarchs of Lu, Wei, Zheng and Ju will all attend in person, which is highly anticipated.

Of course...

Even under the attention of all the people, Qi Lu disappeared, and no one could be found.

Gongsun Wuzhi's face turned pale, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Son, the eunuch of Duke Qi has come to invite him, and he said it is... that the enthronement ceremony of the new king will begin soon, and the emperor is invited to enter the palace to watch the ceremony."

Ji Lin's face was livid, and he squinted his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot. He didn't answer, but instead asked a question, "Did you find Duke Qi yet?"

Haven't found Qi Lu yet...

Gongsun Wuzhi didn't speak, and Ji Lin also understood, but he hasn't found it yet.

Ji Lin stood up and said in a deep voice: "Go on looking, I will enter the palace right now, delay the enthronement ceremony, I must bring Duke Qi here!"

The emperor said those words, dragged his black robe, and quickly surrounded by everyone, boarded the carriage, and the luxurious carriage rumbled away to the palace of Qi State.

It was dusk, and the enthronement ceremony was about to begin. The emperor and all the monarchs all came and sat down on their seats.

Zheng Boxu came a little late, and when he walked into the banquet, he found that the emperor's face was not very good, so he turned his head to look at Ji Zhong, and said, "What happened?"

Sacrifice Zhong leaned into Zheng Bowusheng's ear and whispered, "Return to Your Majesty..."

Hearing Jizhong's whisper, Zheng Bowusheng narrowed his eyes a little, and then he smiled intriguingly, and said, "It seems that today is destined to be interesting."

Ji Zhong seemed to be waiting for Zheng Bowu to speak, and said, "Your Majesty?"

Zheng Bowusheng raised his hand, waved it slightly, and said, "Wait and see."

The grand ceremony was held as scheduled. Da Situ, as a senior official, stepped into the hall, followed by his favorite student Guo Zhong, and after Guo Zhong, there was actually another person following him.

That person has a handsome face, a tall figure, revealing the appearance of a literati, as well as a lonesome and cold personality. At first glance, he is not a good match, but the young man's face is very good-looking.

"Gao Xi!" Gongsun Wuzhi almost jumped up, pointed at the young man who was following Da Situ, and said fiercely, "Gao Xi! It's him!"

Gao Xi came out with Da Situ, there is no need to say more about this scene, the emperor's guess has been confirmed, Gao Xi is the one who betrayed Qi Lv, there is no doubt about it.

Gao Xi came out, her expression still so high and lonely, because the hall was completely quiet, Gao Xi heard Gongsun Wuzhi's growl of resentment clearly, he turned his head and glanced at Gongsun Wuzhi lightly.

Gao Xi had just entered the hall, before he had time to sit down, but Gongsun Wuzhi was already sitting in the banquet hall. There were no chairs these days, they were all sitting on mats, so Gongsun Wuzhi was much shorter than Gao Xi, and Gao Xi Those eyes already gave people an illusion of arrogance, but now looking down at Gongsun Wuzhi from a height, this illusion has been infinitely magnified, and matched with the shallow smile on the corners of Gao Xi's lips, it looks like a mockery.

Gongsun Wuzhi's head was hot and he almost rushed up. Meng Yang pressed Gongsun Wuzhi's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Gongsun, the overall situation is the most important thing!"

Now that the face is torn apart, Gao Xi has nothing to lose. Instead, he can deny it. Gongsun Wuzhi will become a clown, and let the princes and spectators know that Qi Lu is gone.

Da Situ came out, obviously still with white hair, but he smiled triumphantly, as if he was ten years younger in an instant, no, more than 20 years old.

Da Situ smiled and cupped his hands all the way, and said: "I have met the emperor and all the monarchs! Today is the day when the new king of Qi Kingdom takes the throne. The emperor and the monarchs will really make our Qi Kingdom flourish. !"

Da Situ talked about some scenes, and quickly got to the point, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I invite the new king to take the throne—"

"The new king is enthroned—"

The main hall was filled with shouts from the mountains, and soon, the sound of "tattling" footsteps was heard, and someone entered the main hall under the attention of everyone.This person was not very old, wearing a crown on his head, and a black Marquis robe, but his figure was not very good, the robe slightly dragged the floor, and walked into the hall.

"This……"

"What's going on?!"

"Zhuer!?"

"Why is it Zhu'er?! Isn't Qi Taifu the new king of Qi?!"

As soon as the "New Monarch of the Qi Kingdom" walked in, the hall suddenly boiled, as if it was boiled water, and it was boiling water that continued to burn firewood. .

The person who walked out wearing the robe of the king of Qi is not Qi Lu at all, but the son Zhu'er!

The young master Zhu'er came out like this, Ju Zi's eyes widened, and he almost jumped off the mat in fright. Isn't Zhu'er defeated?He ran away from the camp overnight with his tail between his legs, why did he suddenly pop out again?

Duke Lu and Marquis Wei were also taken aback, but Zheng Boyu was not surprised. After all, he had already heard about Qi Lu's disappearance from Ji Zhong, so Zheng Boyu had been prepared and was not surprised.

Zheng Bowusheng watched the behavior of the people around him with a smile, and seemed to think that this chaotic scene was a very interesting thing.

Seeing Zhu'er come out, Ji Lin immediately clapped the table and scolded, "Presumptuous! Grand Situ of the Qi State, are you trying to openly overstep and seek rebellion? No one knows that the new king of Qi State is the younger brother of the late Duke. Master Qi in the past? Why are the people who appear in the court today, sons and daughters?"

"Son of Heaven..." Da Situ had a pitiful look on his face, and pretended to say: "Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven, please forgive me, the sinful minister! The sinful minister also knows that the new emperor is the younger brother of the late father and the teacher of the Son of Heaven. It's just... I don't know why, but the new king has been reluctant to appear. Today is the day when the new king ascends the throne. It's an auspicious day, and you must not miss it. If you miss it, it will definitely bring great disasters to our country of Qi, and the new king is late. If he refuses to show up for a long time, the old man is... also a helpless move!"

He said that his complexion changed instantly, from being pitiful to grim and smiling, revealing endless greed in his smile, he stretched out his sleeves, pointed at Zhu'er wearing the monarch's clothes, and said: "Prince Zhu'er is The eldest son of the First Duke is also the eldest son and crown prince of our country of Qi! Now that the new king is not here, the country cannot be without a king for a day, so this old man made such a bad plan and dared to ask the crown prince to ascend the throne!"

At this time, Zhu'er looked embarrassed, as if he was wearing a "yellow robe", and said hypocritically: "Although Zhu'er's virtue is not as good as his uncle, but he has been the prince of Qi for several years, and he has learned some tricks. , must live up to the entrustment of the emperor and everyone, carry forward me, respect me, the emperor!"

Zhu'er seemed to start his own enthronement speech, and anyone with eyes could see that Da Situ and Zhu'er must have colluded. Qi Lu's sudden absence from the enthronement ceremony must be their credit, needless to say.

Ji Lin squinted his eyes, put one hand on the table, and clenched his palm slightly, trembling slightly. The wine glass and earcup on the table also trembled slightly, and the wine inside made a "buzzing" sound, almost About to splash out.

Ji Lin tried his best to endure his anger, stood up suddenly, and walked in front of Da Situ. Da Situ seemed to be a little scared, and quickly took two steps back, almost falling to the ground. It was Gao Xi who was behind him with quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed Da Situ's arm , so he didn't make a fool of himself.

Ji Lin leaned down slightly, and said in a voice that only Da Situ could hear, "Da Situ, if you have something to say, just speak up. Qi Lu... is in your hands, right?"

Da Situ didn't expect the emperor to be so straight to the point, his pale beard trembled, and he didn't answer directly. The emperor said: "Even if you kidnap the new king of Qi today, Zhuer is a person with scandal. As long as the widow doesn't nod, he can't officially To become the king of Qi, Da Situ think about it, how can you, the elder of Qi, sit back and relax?"

Da Situ's beard trembled again, but he quickly calmed down, and he let out a "ho ho" laugh in his throat, as if there was phlegm, and said in a low voice: "Son, to be honest, the new king is indeed in the old man's house." In my hands, the old man also thought that there would be such a thing. As long as the emperor is not officially canonized, the prince will not be able to sit firmly as the monarch, and the old man will not be able to sit back and relax for a day, but it doesn't matter...as long as the emperor is willing to cooperate, the crown prince Zhu'er is the new king of the Qi State, so this old man agrees and does not move Qi Lu at all, otherwise..."

Da Situ even mentioned threats, and he was threatening Zhou Tianzi. In this world, there is probably no one who is more courageous than him!

Ji Lin had bulging veins on his forehead, and his eyes were narrowed like eagles, staring at Da Situ.

Da Situ laughed "haha" and said, "Son of Heaven, canonize the new king!"

Then he said in a loud voice: "I have kept you waiting for a long time, the Son of Heaven canonize the new king now."

Da Situ turned around, urged Ji Lin, and said in a low voice: "Son of Heaven, according to the previous agreement, as long as you canonize the prince Zhuer as the new king of Qi, then I can guarantee that Qi Lu's life will be safe!"

Da Situ's voice was not loud, and only the emperor could hear it, at most Gao Xi standing behind him could hear it, but the emperor answered Da Situ in a voice that everyone could hear, and even said loudly: "As long as The widow canonize the princes and sons as the new kings of the Qi State, can Da Situ really let Qi Lu go and ensure that Qi Lu's life is safe?"

"what happened?!"

"Qi Taifu didn't come to ascend the throne today, could it be the trick of Da Situ?"

"Da Situ actually detained the new king of Qi?!"

"His heart can be punished!"

"This is treason! It's no longer arrogance! It's treason!"

Da Situ's face froze, he didn't expect the emperor to tear his face away suddenly, not only Da Situ, Zhu'er's complexion was not much better, he said to Da Situ: "What's going on, didn't you say it will go well? Now what to do?!"

Da Situ immediately scolded, "Don't panic!"

He looked at the emperor ferociously as he spoke, and said: "Son, there are some things that I want to solve in private, but I don't think that the emperor didn't want to go with me."

Da Situ is now broken, so he immediately raised his hand, and with a loud "crash", an army marched into the hall, stepping on sonorous steps, and instantly rushed in, enveloping everyone in the hall.

"Big Situ plotting rebellion!!"

"Big Situ really rebelled!"

"Qi's army is coming in!"

In addition to the officials of the Qi State, there were also monarchs from other countries present. The monarchs entered Linzi City with only their personal followers and did not bring in the army. Who would have thought that something went wrong today, the army of the Qi State rushed into the hall, It will soon turn into a battle of war.

It is precisely because of this that Da Situ is so relieved to tear his face away. In this hall, at least in this hall, he has the dominant power of force!

Da Situ said loudly: "Son of Heaven, let's formally confer the title of new king! What are you waiting for?!"

Ji Lin had lost his anger just now. He saw Qi's army marching into the palace, but he calmed down, and the veins on his forehead also slowly calmed down. He was terribly calm, and said, "I am not a three-year-old baby, my heart is clear and bright." Really, even if the widows agreed today to confer Zhu'er the new king of Qi, Da Situ, you will not let Qi Lv go, and you must kill him quickly to avoid future troubles, right?"

This time, it was Da Situ who had blue veins on his forehead, his white beard was whistling, he was blowing heavily, and he coughed angrily. Prince, the Son of Heaven has no other choice!!"

"Who said no?"

As soon as Da Situ's voice fell to the ground, the slap in the face came so suddenly, a voice suddenly penetrated in, the voice was not loud, but it hit the ground with a sound, as if it was a clear spring.

The gazes of the crowd shot "Shua!", and the young master Zhu'er opened his eyes wide in shock. His eyes widened and widened again. His eyes almost protruded, almost squeezed out of their sockets, and the black eyeballs tightened in horror. , Said: "No, no, no...impossible...how could...will..."

Following the sound of "tattling" footsteps, steady and brisk, someone came slowly from outside the hall. His robe was inconspicuous.

The man is not very old, his smile is like a spring breeze, and he is full of warmth. Isn't it the ace chip that Da Situ used to blackmail the emperor, Qi Lv? !

When Qi Lu walked in, it was clear that the entire hall was surrounded by soldiers from the Qi State, but he was still in a no-man's land, no one stopped him, and even those soldiers from the Qi State didn't see him. Such a strange scene made everyone Everyone thinks that Qi Lu is actually a transparent person, because their eyes have hallucinations, and Qi Lu doesn't exist in this hall at all.

"What's going on?!" Zhu'er panicked even more, and tugged on Da Situ's sleeve, saying, "Why did he escape?!"

Da Situ was no less flustered than Zhu'er, and immediately scolded, "Don't, don't panic!" Even though he said that, he stumbled.

Da Situ then roared angrily: "The soldiers of our country of Qi obeyed the order. There are assassins who broke into the new king's enthronement ceremony. Take it down quickly! If anyone wins, you will be named Doctor! No, no, go to Doctor! Let's go to Doctor!! "

As soon as Da Situ's words fell, the entire hall fell into a dead silence...

None of the soldiers moved or moved. They seemed to be like statues, standing in place, unable to hear Da Situ's words at all.

"Catch him!!! Move! Catch him!! Are you going to disobey?!"

Da Situ roared crazily, and stretched out his hand to push the soldier of Qi State. The soldier was pushed hard by Da Situ, and his helmet fell off with a "boom," but he still didn't move a muscle.

Qi Lu seemed to be watching monkeys in the zoo, smiled, and said very understandingly: "Big Situ, you may have misunderstood, maybe the person who gave the order was wrong, so these soldiers didn't move, or else... ...try it alone?"

Qi Lv raised his hand, although he was dressed in plain clothes, he was determined and capable, squinting his eyes and said: "The Great Situ conspired to rebel, follow Gu's order, and press down the Great Situ quickly."

"Respect!"

Those soldiers seemed to have turned on the machine, and instantly moved, rushing towards Da Situ.

Da Situ was so frightened that he didn't need soldiers to escort him, so he fell to the ground with a bang, his eyes widened in shock, and said, "No...impossible, how could this happen, these are my cronies, how could...how could it be At your command!?"

Qi Lv walked over condescendingly, with his hands behind his back slightly, looked down at Da Situ who fell to the ground in a state of distress, and said, "Dear Situ, take a closer look, are these really your cronies?"

Da Situ "Hey——" suddenly gasped, because he recognized that the tall and strong man who was escorting him was not a close friend of Da Situ, but—Guo Gong Ji Father!

Guo Gongji's father was wearing the black armor of Qi State, with a black face, escorting Da Situ, and quickly tied him up.

Da Situ still had an unbelievable expression on his face, then he seemed to think of something, turned his head and said, "It's you!! It's all you?!"

Da Situ struggled violently and rushed in one direction, but Guo Gongji's father reacted quickly and grabbed the dying Da Situ to prevent him from jumping out.

And the person who was yelled at by Da Situ stood quietly, peacefully, with a sense of indifference, as if he had nothing to do with him.

Qi Lu walked up to that person, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, I was guessed right, Gao Xi is a lonely person."

The person stared at by Da Situ was none other than Gao Xi!

The emperor saw that Qi Lu was promiscuous every day, put his hand on Gao Xi's shoulder and kept saying that Gao Xi belonged to him?

The emperor couldn't bear it anymore, even though Gao Xi was a hero, he couldn't help it, so he hurriedly pushed Qi Lu away and put Gao Xi's hand.

Qi Lv didn't force it, but spread his hands and said to Da Situ: "I didn't expect that it was just a trick. The hook is so straight, but Da Situ is biting the bait tightly, and he won't let it go."

That's right, this is Qi Lv's strategy, and we have to start with Gao Xi.

Da Situ pretended to detain Zhu'er in order to let Qi Lu relax his vigilance and enter his trap, then detain Qi Lv and support Zhu'er to the top.Qi Lv had known for a long time that Da Situ had such thoughts in his heart, so when he found Gao Xi, he whispered a few words to Gao Xi and used some tricks.

Da Situ is the elder of the state of Qi, and it is inevitable to be suspicious. On the one hand, he wants Qi Lu to enter Linzi City, but on the other hand, he is afraid of Qi Lu's deception, and he is wary of Qi Lu entering Linzi City, which is a complete contradiction.

Qi Lv simply gave Da Situ a meeting gift. He found Gao Xi, asked Gao Xi to let go of the North City Gate, and sneaked into the North City Gate by himself. , betraying Qi Lu's illusion.

In this way, Da Situ "sees through" Qi Lv's plot and arrests Qi Lv again. He feels at ease, everything is under his control, and there will be no more doubts.

Qi Lv deliberately sold such a big "weakness" to Da Situ, and Da Situ really caught the trick, and he became complacent and had no doubts.

Da Situ roared furiously, blushing and thick neck: "Impossible, how could this be your plan?! Gao Xi...Gao Xi is not for the future..."

Qi Lu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "If Gao Xi really betrayed others for his future, he wouldn't be a bachelor for more than twenty years."

Gao Xi: "..."

Son of Heaven: "..."

Qi Lu coughed, and changed his words: "If Gao Xi really betrayed others for the sake of his future, he wouldn't be in such a poor state now."

Qi Lu got to the point this time, it is true, Gao Xi is the type of person who is drunk in the world and only wakes up alone, he does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, and is so lonely, how could he betray someone for the sake of his future?

"It's not right! It's not right..." Da Situ shook his head vigorously, and said, "It's still not right! Even if Gao Xi is your secret work, but...how about the soldiers and horses of Master Luo...how..."

Qi Lu clapped his hands again, and said, "Big Situ, you finally got the point."

There is another more important reason for Qi Lu to let Gao Xi betray him.After all, if Gao Xi betrayed Qi Lu, Qi Lu would be taken away by Da Situ and Zhu'er. There are still risks in this. If Qi Lu wants to enter Linzi City safely, he can think of other ways, and he doesn't need to bear the burden. It's dangerous, but Qi Lu is determined to go his own way...

The reason is simple, Qi Lv wants to protect the soldiers and horses of the emperor and Luo division.

Gao Xi "betrayed" Qi Lv a long time ago, so that Da Situ shifted his focus from the south gate of Linzi City to the north gate of Linzi City early, set up an ambush, hijacked Qi Lv, and thus relaxed his guard against the south gate .

Da Situ just went through a cutscene, and soon left the south gate with satisfaction, without supervising the entry of the Luo division and the princes' army. It was at this time that the Luo division's army sneaked in.

Qi Lu said: "Naturally, Gu is just a cover. The credit for this should also be attributed to your favorite student, Da Situ, Guo Zhong."

Swah——

Da Situ immediately fixed his gaze on Guozhong.

Guo Zhong stood not far away, like a general, tall and straight, with a dignified uprightness, did not avoid his eyes, and met Da Situ's eyes.

Everyone in Linzi City knew that Guo Zhong was the favorite student of Da Situ, and Da Situ would praise Guo Zhong wherever he went, and everyone in Linzi City also knew that Guo Zhong and Gao Zhong had a grudge against each other, but they only knew one of them. , I don't know the second.

On the surface, Guo Zhong and Gao Xi do not get along with each other, but in fact, the two people in the mainland cherish each other and have been friends for many years. It is just that Gao Xi is not likable, and many people hate Gao Xi, while Guo Zhong is doing very well in the court, and his future is not good. Jin, so in order to avoid delaying Guozhong's future, Gao Xi drew a clear line with Guozhong.

In addition to these, Qi Lu also knows one thing that no one else knows, and that is history.

In addition to Gao Xi, during the period of Duke Huan of Qi, the saying "Gao Guo supervises the country" appeared in Qi State. The word Gao Guo refers to Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong.
