Don't steal a man from me

Shy, surprised, sullen.

Chu Yunqi slightly raised the corners of his lips and smiled silently, got up and walked to Su Jue who was already frozen in place, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Lan, please forgive me. Don't take Lan Jun at heart for the arrogant words that this Marquis uttered."

Without saying a word, Su Jue put the teapot heavily on the table, turned around and walked out.

Chu Yunqi patted his head annoyed, this time it's over.Su Jue has always been courteous and gentle to others, but this was the first time she left without saying a word, leaving the guests aside.

With the sincerity of apologizing and admitting his mistakes, Chu Yunqi quickly ran out, apologizing aloud.

Su Jue ignored her and approached the bamboo house on the south side, and Chu Yunqi followed her in.

The faint fragrance of orchids rushed towards his face, Chu Yunqi was stunned.

The window is opened in the east, and there are dense green bamboos outside the window. There is a crimson brown wooden case under the window, and a qin is placed on the case. Tablets were neatly placed, a wooden table was placed under the south window, and a curtain was hung on the back. It must be Su Jue's bedroom where he rests every day.

Su Jue sat down on the wooden chair with a sullen face, without saying a word.

"Lan Jun, don't be angry. This Marquis' words are rude and offended you, please take care of me." Chu Yunqi came back to his senses, walked to Su Jue and bowed his head to apologize.

Su Jue turned away, Chu Yun was overjoyed, the person who seemed like an exiled fairy acted out of temper, it was really cute, but appreciation is appreciation, the most urgent thing is to make an apology.

"Lan Jun? Su Gongzi? Jue'er? Lan'er?" Chu Yunqi called out cheekily.

After "Lan'er" said it, Su Jue turned around and stared at Chu Yunqi sullenly with starry eyes, Chu Yunqi immediately stopped talking with an obedient look waiting to be scolded.

"Chu Yunqi, you..." Su Jue gritted her teeth and swallowed back the word "roll".

"Yes, I am." Chu Yunqi smiled, nodded and bowed.

"Yun'er, see off the guests!" Apparently Chu Yunqi was so anxious about Su Jue this time that he forgot that Yun'er had gone out.

Chu Yunqi was not annoyed either, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, he said "Let me take my leave first, and I will not bother you until Lan Jun's anger subsides" and left.

Chu Yunqi was in a good mood, and wandered back to Yinglehou Mansion, just in time to meet Fan Kui face to face.

Fan Wei saluted.

"Do you know where the Mohists' children are in Yingcheng?" Chu Yunqi asked.

"The Mo family has always been secretive, but it's not difficult to find it. This subordinate will send someone to look for it."

When my Lord Hou was serious, it was very rare. He had only seen it twice, once in the battle of Pucheng where the Chu army killed nearly [-] people, and once now. To be honest, he was really not used to it.

"Okay, we must find it as soon as possible." Chu Yunqi nodded, and waved his hand to signal him to back down.

It was night, the moon and stars were sparse, and Su Jue felt depressed, so he went out of the house to take a walk in the bamboo forest.

Chu Yunqi didn't come back after the offensive words that day, and the hut returned to its former tranquility.

However, Su Jue's state of mind was no longer as calm as before. Before he knew it, even he himself didn't realize that Chu Yunqi's place in his heart was lingering.

His heart was no longer as calm as still water, and thinking about it carefully, his anger, shame and resentment, all these emotions were aroused by Chu Yunqi.

Before meeting Chu Yunqi, life was like a monotonous white. It was the thick-skinned person who broke into his life without warning and dyed the white into colorful colors.

When did it get so deep?

"The breeze is so bright and the moon is so clear, why is your son frowning and sighing at the moon alone?" A deep and familiar voice interrupted Su Jue's contemplation.

Su Jue raised her eyes, and under the bright moonlight, Chu Yunqi stood smiling.

Su Jue was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "How can Lord Hou have the time to come to the hut?"

"I want to give you something, come with me." Chu Yunqi smiled slyly, took Su Huifang's hand and walked towards the hut.

Su Jue was originally a son of a rich family with fine clothes and fine food, but because of the accident of the Su family, he had no choice but to live on the street. The cold winter when he was nine years old completely crushed his pampered body. Since then, the root of the disease has fallen. The temperature will be lower than that of ordinary people, and at this moment, that cold hand is being held by Chu Yunqi.

Su Jue felt his heart beating faster and his face blushed suddenly as there was a steady stream of warmth coming from his fingertips. He wanted to withdraw the hand that was being held, but he hesitated for a while, and followed the person out of the bamboo forest with lowered eyes.

Before entering the house, Su Jue saw the shadows in the house and the sound of metal colliding, and immediately stopped and asked, "What's the meaning of this, Lord Hou?"

"Oh, you'll know as soon as you come in with me." Chu Yunqi pulled him into the room.

Su Jue was taken aback by the freshness that hit his face. The scorching heat was unbearable, so why is the room so refreshing at this time?When I looked again, I found a big copper cabinet standing next to the desk.

A group of guards walked up to Chu Yunqi and saluted, "Report to Lord Hou, the copper cabinet has been properly placed."

"Well, very good." Chu Yunqi nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and signaled the guards to back down.

"This is... a freezer?" Su Jue walked to the copper cabinet, stretched out his hand to touch the wall of the copper cabinet and asked.

"I asked someone to build a few more and put them in the three rooms. With this freezer, Lan Jun can fall asleep." Chu Yunqi said with a smile.

"Finally my son didn't cook for you for nothing!" Yun'er glanced at Chu Yunqi and said.

Su Jue was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "It was uploaded by the neighbors that Lord Hou worked so hard to find the Mohist disciples that he wanted to build a freezer without asking about the way of governing the country. It seems to be true."

Chu Yunqi smiled and said: "The Mohists are good at miraculous skills, so why not allow them to be used by the Marquis?"

"You..." Su Jue was a little annoyed. What Chu Yunqi did would chill the hearts of all the talents in the world.

He raised his eyes to meet Chu Yunqi's, as if he had crashed into the starry sky, and seemed to be a bottomless deep pool.

"Thank you." After a long time, Su Jue said with downcast eyes.

"Hey, what are three copper cabinets?" Chu Yunqi waved his hands and smiled, then changed his expression and said, "My son is like an exile, if you can't rest well because of the scorching heat, I will feel distressed."

"You..." Su Jue blushed, and glared at Chu Yunqi, really not knowing what to say.

"Why? Don't Mr. Lan understand that this Marquis loves and cherishes talents?" Chu Yunqi raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Hearing what Chu Yunqi said, Su Jue felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured down his head, and his eyes were dark. He was stunned for a long time, then looked at Chu Yunqi and asked, "Love talent and cherish talent?"

Chu Yunqi was stunned for a moment. He saw that Su Jue's peachy cheeks suddenly turned pale after hearing his words. He stepped forward to support her and said, "Mr. Lan is not feeling well?"

Su Jue lowered her eyes, brushed away Chu Yunqi's hand, shook her head and said, "Master Hou, please come back, Mr. Su is a little tired."

Chu Yunqi wanted to say something else, but Su Jue didn't want to talk to him at all, so he could only say, "Young Master, rest well, I'm leaving." He didn't see it, but Su Jue bit her lips tightly and her shoulders trembled.

After Chu Yunqi left, Su Jue stretched out his sleeve and wiped off the blood from the corner of his lips. For the first time, he realized that biting his lips would be so painful.

Some feelings can only be buried in the heart, and it will only cause pain for both of them if they say something wrong, so it is better for him not to know.

Yinglehou Mansion.

"Hey, Master Hou just flattered and didn't do it well, he kicked him." Yao'er lay on the roof, looked at Chu Yunqi who was still wandering in the yard when he was ugly, and said teasingly.

"Come down, little bastard, and see if the uncle will take off your legs and eat the meat." Chu Yunqi asked in a serious mood, and was so teased by Yao'er that he couldn't help but get angry.

"Our lazy Ying Lehou personally visited the great sage of the Mohist family and cut firewood for him for seven days. He didn't ask about academics or the way of governing the country. He just begged the sage of the Mohist family to make three big copper cabinets, but he didn't make the beauty smile?"

Yao'er turned over lightly, Kan Kan'er landed in front of Chu Yunqi.

"Why are you making such remarks?" Chu Yunqi looked at Yao'er and asked.

"It's spread among the residents in the neighborhood. I'm afraid it won't take long for the story of Lord Hou to spread to Yancheng." Yao'er gave him a blank look.

"In ancient times, the king of Zhou smiled for Bomei, and Fenghuo played with the princes. What does this mean to me, Chu Yunqi?" Chu Yunqi shrugged, with an indifferent expression on his face.

Seeing Chu Yunqi's undisciplined appearance, Yao'er became angry, stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and said in a low voice, "The King of Chu is old, and he has been pushed by those courtiers all day long, what is it like to cede land and pay for it?" Begging to stop the swordsmanship, Lord Hou will just watch the beautiful rivers and mountains of our Chu Kingdom squandered by those bastards who eat vegetarian food?!"

"Who is the Marquis in these thousands of miles of mountains and mountains! My Yingdi soldiers are all gearing up, waiting for the Marquis to bring his brothers to deal with the gang of old thieves in the court who have harmed the country and the people! They are all burning their butts, and the Marquis is still keeping a low profile!"

"Hou Ye can't see through what his subordinates have been doing recently! He personally visited Mozi, but only for the three big copper cabinets, which chilled the hearts of all the Mohist disciples! If the famous people in the world know about this, there will be people willing to assist Hou Ye Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world, what is the meaning of Hou Ye's actions? Hou Ye compares himself with the king of Zhou, so he also wants to be the one who subjugates the country?"

Chu Yunqi listened quietly, and said with a faint smile: "It's no child's play to fight on the battlefield. My soldiers in Yingdi, this Marquis regard them as my brothers. They are all Chu people, and they should go to the battlefield to kill more people." Ren, Chen Ren, Xi Ren, not for this Marquis, fighting with the Chu people who have the same blood flowing in their bones. Even if the brothers die, they must sacrifice for our great Chu to rule the world, not on their own land. Die for a change of kingship."

Fan Yao gradually let go of the hand holding Chu Yunqi's collar, and the watery moonlight shrouded Chu Yunqi's body. He just stood there quietly, with a playful smile on his mouth, but Fan Yao saw him The air of king burst out from the whole body.

At that moment, Fan Yao seemed to understand why her elder brother admired Chu Yunqi so much - Chu Yunqi was standing at different heights.

Compared with him, the other royal children are like the swallow of the fence and the phoenix of the nine heavens, one focuses on the throne of Chu State, and the other focuses on the world!

Chu Yunqi smiled and continued: "Old King Chu's body is still strong, I think the old king will sit on the throne for a few more years."

"Benhou once heard that there is a bird on the top of the eastern mountain in my state of Chu. This bird's feathers are as fierce as fire, but it has not flown or sung for three years. The people of Chu laughed and said that this bird has nothing but appearance. This bird soared into the sky, and its song resounded through the sky, attracting hundreds of birds, and the auspiciousness descended from the sky to bless me Dachu. I am not talented, but I want to compare myself with this bird, what does Yaoer think?"

After hearing this, Fan Yao bowed to Chu Yunqi and said, "Fan Yao is willing to follow Lord Hou, even if he dies!"

"Hey, hey, don't always die, don't live, this Marquis can't bear it." Chu Yunqi pulled Fan Yao's arm, motioned him to stand up, and said: "Okay, this Marquis is playing tricks with you little brat. I'm tired too, go back to your room and rest."

Yao'er smiled, saluted and left, Chu Yunqi looked at his back and said with a smile: "Mr. Lan, why have you become a disaster for this Marquis?"

The next day.

"Why are you here again? Why are you wearing this outfit?" Someone knocked on the door early in the morning, Yun'er rubbed her sleepy eyes and opened the door, only to see Chu Yunqi standing outside the door with thorns on her back.

"Yesterday I offended your young master, and today I am here to take the blame." Chu Yunqi cupped his hands.

"Yun'er, who is knocking on the door?" Su Jue didn't sleep all night last night, rubbing her brows lightly and walked out of the room, she was stunned when she saw Chu Yunqi carrying thorns, left with a flick of her sleeve, and said calmly when leaving: "Master, please go back. "

"Lan Jun, Lan Jun." Chu Yunqi rushed to catch up and pulled the man's sleeve, saying: "I thought about it all night, but I don't know where I said something wrong to offend the young master. This morning I will apologize, Chu Yunqi Just rely on the young master's disposal, as long as, as long as..." Chu Yunqi intentionally didn't finish his sentence.

"Just what?" Su Jue turned to ask him.

"As long as you don't ignore my son, I will be fine. If you ignore me, I will feel like a pain in my heart!" Chu Yunqi looked serious about correcting his mistakes.

Su Jue stood still, looked at Chu Yunqi, and said word by word for a long time: "Chu Yunqi, do you know that this is very annoying." After speaking, he left Chu Yunqi who was still in place.

Chu Yunqi patted his head, he really didn't know where he said something wrong, he looked at Yun'er with an aggrieved face and said: "Your son..."

Yun'er shrugged, expressing that he didn't know.

Chu Yunqi sighed helplessly, and said with a low smile: "Lan Jun, Lan Jun, this Marquis is the most patient with you."

As he said, he stepped into the room and was about to talk softly, and was about to say something nice before coaxing him, when he suddenly heard someone outside the room shouting: "Is Lord Hou here?"

Chu Yunqi frowned and got up to leave the house. He saw Fan Kui and a group of guards standing in the courtyard. He stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Two farmers in the village next to Xiaoyao Valley in the east of the city quarreled over the summer irrigation and injured people." Fan Kui made a brief statement.

"Xia Guan is a good thing, why are you arguing?" Chu Yunqi frowned.

"Water shortage."

"It's a joke, I am surrounded by eight rivers, and the south is adjacent to Xiangting Daze, so there is a water shortage." Chu Yunqi raised his eyebrows.

"This...subordinates can't tell."

"Although there are eight waters in Yingdi, there is only one canal for diverting water to irrigate the fields. It is the Xiaodi Canal built near Xiaoyao Valley during the tenth year of my king's reign. The common people in other places to irrigate their fields all rely on the canal of the Shang Dynasty. The residual canals left over from the well field system, these small canals are easy to silt up, and the local governor has no time to repair them, and there is very little water diversion during summer irrigation, so naturally quarrel."

Su Jue did not know when he stood behind Chu Yunqi. He was not in a hurry, and he explained the summer irrigation dispute so clearly, as if he was in the farmland that was in urgent need of irrigation.

Fan Kui was stunned for a moment, Su Jue's words were even more relevant than the Datian Order in charge of farming! He turned to look at Chu Yunqi for advice.

Chu Yunqi smiled slightly and said to Su Jue: "Master, you might as well be more careful and teach me how to deal with this water shortage."

Su Jue stared at Chu Yunqi for two seconds, nodded and said, "Forget it, you all follow me into the room."

"My lord, Master won't allow you..." Yun'er said anxiously.

"Yun'er." Su Jue interrupted, he glanced back at Yun'er and said, "The herbs picked yesterday haven't dried yet, go and dry them in the yard."

Chu Yunqi frowned, but didn't ask any further questions, and followed Su Jue into the room without saying a word.

Su Jue took out a sheepskin map from the upper shelf of the bookshelf, and unfolded the map on the desk. Fan Kui stepped forward and saw that it was Zhang Yingdi's landscape map.

I saw the thin, black zigzagging lines on the sheepskin covering the entire drawing, presumably it is the eight waters, the source of these eight waters all comes from the Xiangting Lake in the north, and a dozen large and small ones are outlined with a cinnabar pen on the drawing. small circle.

"The sky is full of water. Floating sky carries the earth, high and low, and everything is moist. Therefore, water is the first thing, and those who get the water are in charge of farming, and those who are in charge of farming are in charge of the people, and the root of the prosperity of the country is to get the people."

Su Jue said slowly, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the red circle in the picture, and said: "This is the place for the construction of the canal drawn by Su, Lord Hou can send someone to do it right away, and there will be no more floods in Baoying. "

Su Jue didn't speak long, but every word and every sentence was just right. Fan Kui looked at Su Jue again—he suddenly had an intuition that the person in front of him was the same type of person as Lord Hou, and they both stood The height that ordinary people cannot reach overlooks this world of great controversy.

Fan Kui was very lucky, thankful for Chu Yunqi, that in this life someone would accompany Chu Yunqi side by side, and accompany him through all kinds of loneliness.

"What are you still doing in a daze? Draw a few more copies of this sheepskin map, distribute it, and notify the water workers in various counties and counties to focus on it." Chu Yunqi patted Fan Kui on the shoulder and said.

"No." Fan Wei cupped his hands, took the sheepskin figure and retreated.

When only Chu Yunqi and Su Jue were left in the room, Chu Yunqi walked up to Su Jue. He looked into his eyes and lowered his voice, asking word by word; In these huts?"

Su Jue didn't evade, just looked at him with water-colored eyes, but his calm eyes were full of emotions he couldn't understand at the moment, and Su Jue said slowly: "What kind of world does Hou Ye want? "

Chu Yunqi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Su Jue to change the subject, he looked away and said indifferently: "What does the young master mean? Chu Yunqi doesn't understand."

"I'm asking you, what do you want the world to look like." Su Jue repeated what she said just now, with an expression as if she must get an answer from Chu Yunqi before giving up.

Chu Yunqi paused, looked into his eyes again, and said: "The princes are fighting for the city and eating human flesh, killing wild people, and the people of the world are in dire straits. , Only one country in this world can truly stop swordsmanship, and this country must be our Great Chu."

When Chu Yunqi said these words, he kept looking at Su Jue intently. He saw the struggle and decision in his eyes. For a while, the two of them were silent, and the cicadas were very noisy.

After a long time, Su Jue smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty is indeed extraordinary, and Su is not mistaken."

"Then what about you? Why don't you want to enter the court and serve in politics? Xiao, Yao, Zi, Qin, Chuan, Di, Zi, Su, Jue." Chu Yunqi asked word by word. .

Su Jue was not surprised when he revealed her identity, and immediately raised her eyes and smiled slightly: "Su is not as talented as Hou Ye said, and Hou Ye has exalted Su."

Chu Yunqi saw that he didn't want to tell the reason, so he didn't ask any more questions, and bowed his hands and said: "Thank you for your reminder today, young master. Chu Yunqi thanked young master on behalf of the people of Yingdi."

"Your Majesty has broken Su Mou by doing this, it's just a matter of raising your hand." Su Jue returned the courtesy.

"I've been bothering you for a long time, so I'll take my leave and urge them to start repairing the canal." Chu Yunqi smiled, cupped his hands and saluted before leaving.

After Chu Yunqi left, Su Jue got up and knelt beside the desk, his eyes downcast in silence.

Master, Lan'er can no longer keep the oath he made that day, Lan'er wants to accompany him through this muddy water, this road of no return, Lan'er will accompany him once.
