spring and autumn officials

Qi Lu patted Prince Lin's "dog's head" and looked around, because there were not many valuables at home, and the door of the shabby house was not closed tightly, Qi Lu was afraid that the little dog would be greedy and run out of the house by itself He found a rope and tied the little dog in the house.

"Wow wow wow!"

Prince Lin: Let go of the widow!

The little dog shook his head, tossed hard, planed his short legs, and wanted to untie the rope around his neck. For Prince Lin, this was simply the greatest humiliation he had faced since he was born. Well, who doesn't know that he is the future emperor, and now there is a crucial point between him and the emperor. Who would have thought that one day, he would be tied up with a dog leash!

Qi Lu said with a smile: "My son is really energetic, waiting for Dad to come back."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and took the door out, with a "squeak" sound, the wooden door of the house made a "groan/groan" like a toothache, and slowly closed, leaving only a series of sounds that gradually faded away.

Prince Lin was very anxious. This night, Sister Ji actually wanted to steal a small official, and her reputation was completely ruined by an accident. Although Prince Lin had no special feelings for Zheng Ji, he always regarded Zheng Ji as his younger sister. How could he not in a hurry?

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The little dog barked frantically, tugging at the rope around its neck, showing its sharp little canine teeth, "Wow!" It bit on the rope, grinding its teeth hard.

In the late spring weather, the sky was already very hot. The little dog was biting profusely with sweat, sticking out his tongue to dissipate heat. With a sound of "click!", the rope was bitten open by the little dog. Shen, "Gudong" rolled backwards, the little fart/butt fell to the ground, and shook its tail.

Ignoring the pain, she quickly jumped up from the ground, ran to the wooden door shaking her head, arched the wooden door with her small head, and rubbed the door open, rushed out like a puff of smoke, and rushed out like an arrow, chasing up to Qi in front of her. law.

Because Qi Lu was injured and didn't take any medicine, he didn't walk fast, especially with his body, he looked like a dead chicken that couldn't lift his shoulders or hands. It was obvious that his appearance hadn't changed, but his health had deteriorated. Many, after a few quick steps, I was panting and suffocating, and couldn't get up.

Prince Lin ran forward quickly, "using both hands and feet", and quickly caught up with Qi Lu who was in front of him. He didn't rush up immediately, his big black eyes moved, and immediately hid in the grass, standing still. It might be even more difficult to stop Qi Lu with this appearance, so it's better to hide in the dark and wait for Qi Lu and Zheng Ji to meet before jumping out to make trouble.

Zheng Ji is a lady of the family, and Qi Lu is a petty official. The two meet secretly at night because they are afraid that people will find out. If the little dog yells, it will definitely disrupt their plan.

Prince Lin made up his mind, showed a smile with a certain chance of winning, and followed Qi Lu lightly.

Enduring the pain from the wound on his back, Qi Lu didn't notice that he was being followed by his son, and he went straight to Jiqingshi's house.

Soon, Qi Lu arrived at the gate of the Ji family.

Although Jizhong's mansion is not comparable to that of the princes of the emperor, it is not too much.Etiquette stipulates that the emperor has six bedrooms and the princes have three bedrooms. However, in this era, because of the weakening of the power of the Zhou emperor, many princes actually have more than three bedrooms, and they are secretly building palaces. The powerful ministers in the world and the majesty of the priests can be seen...

Qi Lu raised his head, with a smile in his eyes, looking up at the majestic priest, who could tell the extravagance at a glance, clicked his tongue slightly.

The little dog hid in the dark, his dark eyes turned around, thinking in his heart: I am afraid that this little official is not very smart, otherwise he secretly met with the younger sister of the powerful minister, and even wanted to enter through the main entrance of the priest's house. If you entered, you would be beaten out with sticks by the servants of the priest's family?

Just when Prince Lin laughed at Qi Lu's stupidity, Qi Lu really moved, really lifted his feet, and walked towards the gate of Ji's house.

There are servants guarding the gate of the priest's house, seeing Qi Lu coming, the two servants guarding the gate have never seen Qi Lu before, seeing his plain clothes, they stopped him, but they were shocked by Qi Lu's appearance, lips The horns were slightly curved, and the behavior was naturally noble, and there was no hint of humbleness. The two servants lost their minds in an instant, fearing that Qi Lv was someone with a lot of background.

He asked, "Who are you?"

Qi Lu smiled and said very politely: "Brothers, I want to see the priest. This is a token. Please ask the two elder brothers to present it. As long as the priest has seen this thing, he will meet me."

The two servants were a little dazed, and looked down at what Qi Lu took out from his arms—a silk handkerchief!

It is actually a handkerchief from a woman's family. It is fragrant and soft, with a smell of powder.

The two servants were in a dilemma. A stranger wanted to give a handkerchief to them as a priest, but he didn't dare to delay the business. One said to guard, but the other immediately turned around and ran with the silk handkerchief in his hand. A dozen stacks rushed through the door.

Prince Lin squatted in the grass, the more he looked at it, the more confused he became. What is this little official doing?He clearly came to meet Ji Mei for a tryst, but when he got to the door, he kept saying that he wanted to see Ji Zhong?

boom--

Before Prince Lin could understand, the door of the Ji's house suddenly opened, and the middle door opened wide, but it was not Ji Zhong who Qi Lu wanted to see, but Ji Xiaojun who came out.

Immediately there was the sound of "treading" footsteps, and the warrior in black armor followed the little gentleman and opened the door of the priest's house. Bucket of gold soup!

Looking at Qi Lu again, the protagonist who was surrounded by black-armored warriors did not panic at all, and stood calmly in place.

The sky gradually darkened, covered with a layer of moonlight, the moonlight was hazy, like a veil, like a beauty's skirt, gently sweeping over Qi Lu's face, coating his pale face with a layer of soft light, making it even more beautiful Tian Ziyi.

Anyone who has seen Qi Lu will probably be amazed, Qi Lu's appearance is outstanding, but in the past, Qi Lu, the original owner, was glib, lazy, romantic, and naturally treacherous, but now Qi Lu suddenly turned He lost his temper and stood under the moonlight. He didn't look like a mere official at all, but was unpredictable.

"Qi Lu! You still dare to come!?" Ji Xiaojun spoke first, with a sneer on his face, he clapped his hands and said, "You are the one who is waiting! Didn't expect it! All this is a scam, Zheng Ji didn't give you any handkerchief at all , we are just waiting for you to take the bait!"

When Prince Lin heard this, he suddenly realized that it was so!

In the past, Zheng Ji also loved to see Qi Lu and missed her all day long, but Zheng Ji was a weak and well-behaved person, and Prince Lin was also wondering why Zheng Ji had a tryst with Qi Lu suddenly and made such an outrageous act. What about your move?

It turned out to be a trick of the priests, just to trick Qi Lv into taking the bait.

As the little gentleman said, a series of unhurried footsteps came slowly, and the black-armored warriors surrounding Qi Lu immediately spread out to both sides in a regular manner, slowly leaving a path.

As Chi Yin approached, he saw a man in a green robe coming out from the gate of the priest's house. He had one hand behind his back and the other drooped naturally. Although he only walked a few steps, he revealed an incomparable nobility and majesty.

Years dare not make mistakes on the man's face. He looks like he is in his early thirties. He has a long face, which is different from the majestic temperament, but it is a delicate appearance. There is a smile on the corner of his lips. Although he smiles anytime, anywhere, The smile didn't reach his eyes, and he looked like a smiling tiger.

Qi Lu knew that such a person was the most difficult to deal with.

He took a look at the man for a while, then bowed politely, and said, "Heng Renlu, I have seen the priest."

The little gentleman Ji couldn't help laughing. Seeing the man come out, he changed from a furry wild cat to a well-behaved house cat in an instant, and said softly, "Uncle is polite."

This person is one person under Zheng Guo, above ten thousand people, a big celebrity in the eyes of Zheng Bowusheng. After Zheng Bo passed away, he will be appointed as the first official of the four Zheng Guojuns - Jizhong!

There was a smile on Ji Zhong's face, and when he laughed, he seemed angry, wronged, angry, and sad, but he didn't seem to smile.

Seeing his uncle coming, the little gentleman Ji quickly showed his majesty, pointing at Qi Lu with his horsewhip: "You little official, since you didn't kill you a few days ago, you became more and more rampant, and dared to break into Ji's house at night, and someone— —Chop this little official into minced meat!"

After he finished speaking, Jizhong raised his hand slowly and waved it lightly. The black-armored warriors around him immediately retreated, lined up neatly, and returned behind Jizhong. He made a sound, and obediently stood behind Ji Zhong.

Ji Zhong finally spoke, and said quietly: "I heard from the servant, you little official wants to see me, what is the matter?"

Qi Lu smiled slightly, and finally said, "Lü is here to return the handkerchief."

Ji Zhong raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "Return the handkerchief?"

Qi Lv nodded and repeated: "Lü is indeed here to return the handkerchief... If Lv's guess is correct, this handkerchief is probably from you, a sacrificial priest?"

"Presumptuous!" Ji Xiaojun yelled loudly, but Ji Zhong, who was "testified" by Qi Lu face to face, smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "Why is this handkerchief mine? Tell me."

Qi Lu and Ji Zhong seemed to be playing riddles, Prince Lin frowned, and the little dog frowned seriously, and even tilted his head.

The order of Qi Lv's words was clear, and he said in an orderly manner: "Isn't it the gentleman who sacrificed you to lead the law? If the teacher came to the appointment, at this moment, I'm afraid he would have been chopped into pieces?"

Ji Zhong kept smiling, but his gaze deepened, and he said with great interest, "Go ahead."

Qi Lu said again: "There are two doubts, one..."

Qi Lu raised a finger and said with a smile: "The maid who delivered the message sweated a lot and was shaking all the time. I'm afraid it wasn't because she walked in a hurry or because she was nervous, but to be precise...it was fear. "

The maid's voice was very low at the time, as if she was a thief, but she wasn't actually a thief. Presumably she was coerced by the priests to deliver a message, so she trembled in fear.

Qi Lv raised another finger and said with a smile: "Secondly, this handkerchief is a woman's close-fitting item. It is more expensive, but the style is too simple."

Zheng Ji is Jizhong's younger sister. The maid said that this is a token, and this handkerchief is made of silk, which is more expensive, and has no special symbol at all. How can it be used as a token?

"I'm afraid it's a sacrifice to the gentleman who is also afraid of accidents and offending people's tongue, which will ruin Zheng Ji's reputation instead."

If something happened to Qi Lu Yehui and the handkerchief fell into the hands of others, wouldn't it ruin Zheng Ji's reputation?Not to mention the failure of the strategy, it is really "losing the wife and losing the army", so the style of this veil is very simple, even if it really falls into the hands of others, it can't make irresponsible remarks, but it can keep Zheng Ji innocent.

Qi Lu smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Sacrificing a gentleman can be said to be... well-intentioned."

"Papa papa!" Ji Zhong slowly raised his hand and patted it a few times. Although he didn't have any sincerity in clapping his palms, he said, "That's a good point."

Unexpectedly, Qi Lu raised another finger and said, "Actually, there is a third... The third, if you take ten thousand steps back, even if this handkerchief was really sent by Zheng Ji, Lu will not keep the appointment, or I will stand in front of Ji Junzi just like now."

Ji Zhong smiled lightly and said, "Oh? Why?"

Qi Lu's answer was very simple, saying: "Because Lu is no more than a mere official, he is afraid of death!"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. Everyone thought that Qi Lu was a humble and self-deprecating little official with low status and no self-esteem. He thought that one day, he would admit that he was afraid of death so naturally, because the more people who are afraid of death, the more they will talk about the words "scaring", but those who are not afraid of death will be so frank about life and death.

Ji Zhong looked at Qi Lu's eyes, and couldn't help but deepened.

Qi Lu smiled indifferently, and said: "Actually, at the beginning, Lu also thought about whether such a scheme was conceived by Ji Junzi. Married to Master Luo. But after thinking about it carefully, I found that such a plan full of loopholes was definitely not the idea of ​​the gentleman. The little gentleman was worried about his aunt, so he came up with it out of desperation."

Qi Lv analyzed Jizhong's traps logically. Seeing Jizhong's eyes deepened, he knew that Jizhong was full of arrogance and didn't want to be exposed by others, so after the analysis, he gave Jizhong another step.

Who knew that Ji Xiaojun just listened to it, and didn't hear the steps left by Qi Lu, so he immediately laughed "hahaha". Li, you guessed wrong, this trick is me... Oops!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt someone kicked his knee, and almost threw himself on the ground. When he fixed his eyes, it turned out to be his uncle.

Little gentleman Ji didn't dare to speak, he rubbed his knees aggrievedly, and retreated to the side, like a doormat.

Ji Zhong narrowed his eyes, the expression on his face changed a few times, and then put on a tiger-like smile, and said with a sigh: "Qi Lu, Qi Lu, I really underestimated you, you let the truth... ... I remembered some of the times when I was a seal, the past is vivid in my memory."

Ji Zhong was also born as a petty official, a petty official who was in charge of frontier trees. From a petty petty official, he was favored by the King of Zheng, and since then he has risen to the top of the sky!

Qi Lu arched his hands, and said in a calm tone, "The Minister of Sacrifice is absurdly praised, and the law accepts that he is ashamed, but he is really afraid."

The little dog squatted in the grass, and wanted to rush out to make a big rendezvous, but unexpectedly, he saw the turn of events, staring at a pair of big black eyes, staring at the slender and straight Qi under the moonlight in a little surprise. law.

This little official...

Why is it not the same as what I have heard?
