Chapter 173 Make a vow

The emperor was silent for a while. Seeing Qi Luhuan happily running out of the tent, he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his forehead.

It was clearly a plan to alienate the Lu State, so why did the Grand Tutor... look so stubborn and happy?

Not long after the emperor left, he heard the report from the eunuch, saying: "Emperor, the young master of the state of Lu is here."

Ji Lin immediately put away his helpless smile, put on the airs of an emperor, and said seriously: "Please come in."

The emperor invited Young Master Hui to a banquet, and Young Master Hui could not refuse. Soon he came to the emperor's tent. The eunuch respectfully led Young Master Hui to the banquet, and said with a smile: "Young Master Lu, please come this way. The Emperor is already waiting."

"

The eunuch's attitude was very respectful, which benefited Prince Hui a lot. When he entered the emperor's tent, he found that there was no Qi Lu in the tent. The emperor was dressed in royal robes and was sitting on the banquet.

Young Master Hui looked around, bowed and said, "I will pay my respects to the Emperor."

Ji Lin smiled slightly, stretched out his arms, waved his wide sleeves, and said, "Master Lu, please get up. There is no need to be polite."

Only then did Gongzi Hui stand up. There was no banquet in the tent. It seemed that Yan Yin was not here.

The emperor stood up, straightened his loose sleeves and robe, and said with a smile: "I have heard that the master of the Lu Kingdom was a man of civility and military prowess, and his military skills were extraordinary. I have always admired him very much."

It is said that you should not hit someone with a smiling face. The emperor was so polite, especially Gongzi Hui, who was easily complacent and inflated. When he heard the emperor complimenting him, he felt much more at ease.

Prince Hui cupped his hands and said, "The emperor fell in love with someone wrong, and Hui is terrified."

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Huh? Don't be humble, Mr. Lu. There is no one else in this private room. I will tell you the truth today... In fact, I respect Mr. Lu very much, but I have arranged many of these things.

It was given to Master Qi to take action. Because of this, I didn't know that Master Qi had not invited Master Lu to the banquet. After hearing this, I had already severely scolded Master Qi yesterday and asked Master Lu not to take it to heart.

"

The emperor himself explained it. Gongzi Hui was the kind of person who would take advantage of the soft and not the hard. Even though he felt that, yes, his prestige in the Lu country was so prominent and he was an old nobleman. How could the emperor not accept it and put himself

If I missed the invitation, it must be Qi Lu who made his own decision.

The emperor added: "I invited Mr. Lu to come here today specifically to apologize to Mr. Lu."

Prince Hui quickly said: "The Emperor is serious and I cannot bear to be ashamed."

The emperor smiled and said: "Let's not mention these polite words. Come on, I have ordered Yan Yin to be prepared. Let's go to Yan Yin's tent."

The emperor walked in front, and Gongzi Hui followed behind. They left the emperor's tent one after another, preparing to go to the tent dedicated to Yan Yin.

Gongzi Hui followed Ji Lin, so he couldn't see Ji Lin's expression. As Ji Lin walked forward, a smile appeared on his handsome face, leading Gongzi Hui step by step into the trap arranged by Qi Lu...

Yan Yin's camp is nearby. It's very close. It's only a few steps away. However, someone is actually talking near the camp. If you listen carefully, the voice sounds very familiar. Isn't it Taifu Qi?

Sure enough, Qi Lu stood behind the tent with a smile on his face, a friendly smile, like a spring breeze, as if it was about to melt the ice and snow.

Qi Lu's handsome appearance reveals some coldness. He usually doesn't speak and looks very arrogant and even a little "cold". But now when he smiles, it's like the warm sun in winter, which is inexplicably amazing.

.

Qi Lu was talking to a person. The person was standing behind the tent and was blocked. He couldn't see clearly who it was. He could only see a vague hem of clothes. The material of the hem was very elegant. That was... Lu Jin

!

Young Master Hui narrowed his eyes. This middle-grade and high-grade Lu silk was not something that ordinary people could afford. They were all tributes. Needless to say who the tribute was for, it was naturally Lu Gongxi!

There is no mistake, the man standing behind the tent is none other than Lu Gongxi. The person Qi Lu is smiling at is also Lu Gongxi.

Sure enough, I heard Lu Gongxi's voice saying: "What a coincidence? It's Taifu Qi."

What a coincidence! What a coincidence!

It is said that Qi Lu and the emperor cooperated separately. The emperor appeased the young master Hui, and Qi Lu slipped out of the camp and went to his own place, either by chance or to meet Lu Gongxi.

Qi Lu had inquired and found out that Lu Gongxi would go to the military parade at this time every day, and today was no exception. Therefore, Qi Lu squatted down early, waiting for Lu Gongxi to happen to pass by.

As expected, Lu Gongxi came and did not find Qilu. Qilu's cat was behind the tent. It pretended not to care and walked directly towards Lu Gongxi. By chance, it bumped into Lu Gongxi.

Lu Gongxi saw that it was Qi Lu, and Qi Lu was "alone". He immediately stepped forward to chat, and said with a smile: "Master Qi, did you not crash it? It's Xi who was reckless."

Lu Gongxi called himself "Xi" in front of Qi Lu, which was his own name, instead of "Gu". In this era, the emperor called himself a widower, and the kings of the vassal states called themselves lonely. Obviously, this was a symbol of status, and

Lu Gongxi called himself his own name in front of Qi Lu, instead of Gu, which naturally has an intriguing flavor.

Because Lu Gongxi wanted to win over Qi Lu...

In fact, Lu Gongxi had met Qi Lu as early as when Qi Lu supported the emperor's accession to the throne. At that time, Lu Gongxi among the Luo divisions repeatedly wanted to win over Qi Lu to serve as an official in the Lu country, but Qi Lu

Lu was afraid of trouble, and Lu Gongxi was a smiling tiger with a lot of tricks. How could an emperor be so "honest"? So Qi Lu naturally wouldn't go.

Lu Gongxi now saw Qi Lu again, and he felt more and more that his vision was correct. This Qi Lu was by no means a thing in the pool. He was just a lowly baker at the time, but now he has become a famous person throughout the world.

If Qi Lu can be won over, it will be of great benefit to the State of Lu.

Lu Gongxi did not give up trying to win over Qi Lu. Now that he and Qi Lu had "accidentally met" each other and there was no one else around, he naturally wanted to win over Qi Lu.

Qi Lu knew that he was playing a trap in Lu Gong's meeting, and said, "Lu deserves to die. It was Lu who bumped into Lu Gong. Are you okay, Lu Gong?"

Lu Gongxi looked good-tempered and said: "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Qi Lu then said: "Lü bumped into Mr. Lu. I wonder if Mr. Lu is in a hurry. If not, why don't I invite Mr. Lu to drink two glasses of wine to make amends?"

Qi Lu took the initiative to "invite" Lu Gong. Lu Gong Xi was ecstatic and said very gentlemanly: "If Grand Tutor is free, I will accompany you. Please."

The two of them greeted each other politely, and by coincidence, they happened to enter the tent next to them. The emperor's drink was placed in the tent next door, and the two tents were next to each other.

Young Master Hui squinted his eyes and watched Lu Gongxi and Qi Lu enter the tent. With a "crash", the tent curtain was lowered, blocking the view.

The emperor pretended not to see him and said to Master Hui: "Master Lu?"

Only then did Gongzi Hui come back to his senses and said: "It is a crime for a humble general to be punished by death. Just now, a humble general... he is a little embarrassed."

"It doesn't matter." The emperor smiled good-naturedly and said, "Master Lu must have overworked himself on the state affairs of the state of Lu. If my Luo master has such a dedicated and conscientious family, then I must pray for blessings and sacrifices. Thank you."

God is enlightened!"

The emperor made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them entered the tent next door.

The camp is not a house and is not soundproofed. After entering, you can hear the chatter and laughter next door.

Qi Lu's laughter was unbridled and he said, "Gong Lu, how do you like this wine? What do you think of the wine that Bi Lu sent over?"

Qi Lu knew that the tent was not soundproof, so he deliberately brought up the issue of sending wine. Sure enough, the emperor looked sideways and saw that Gongzi Hui's face was quite ugly. His face turned dark instantly. He squinted his eyes. He must have thought of sending the wrong wine and felt that his

His face was beaten by Qi Lu.

Lu Gongxi's voice came from next door, smiling and saying: "Good wine, good wine."

Next door, while we were drinking and chatting, we heard Qi Lu's voice being a little "twitchy". He always had the "glib tongue" and "eloquent" style of the past, and said intermittently: "Gong Lu, do you still remember the relationship between Lu and Gong Lu?"

The first time we met was in Luoshi City. At that time, Duke Lu had put a lot of thought into wanting Lu Qian to go to the Kingdom of Lu. Now... now..."

When talking about what happened back then, Qi Lu was very decisive and had no intention of going to the Lu Kingdom. After all, the emperor at that time was still a little bitch and he obeyed Qi Lu's words. How could a little bitch have any evil intentions? It's not like that.

Although Lu Gongxi was considered a gentleman among the kings of the country, Qi Lu was most afraid of trouble because of the deep city, so he naturally wanted to reject Lu Gong.

When he mentioned it now, Lu Gong immediately felt something in his heart and said: "Not back then, but now I have the same thought in Xi's mind... Taifu doesn't know something. Xi is a man with no merits. He just likes to see talents. When he sees someone like Taifu,

Talented people are admired in their hearts.”

The voices of Qi Lu and Lu Gongxi chatting could be heard clearly through the tent. Gongzi Hui's face became even more ugly. Not to mention Gongzi Hui, even the emperor's face was ugly. What kind of admiration could there be without knowing it?

I thought they were having sex.

The emperor has always been a man who likes to eat food and is extremely possessive. If the overall situation had not been the most important thing, he would have killed Lu Gong long ago.

Lu Gongxi saw that there was a way, and said tentatively: "The master mentioned this matter, could it be...?"

Lu Gongxi did not say anything clearly, but Qi Lu complained: "You don't know something, Lu Gong. Nowadays, there are many talented people in the Luo division, such as Zhou Gong, Guo Gong, and the emperor's junior brother Wu Man. Lu, the tutor, is becoming more and more popular."

It’s hard to survive, so…”

Lu Gong immediately responded, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "It's better to invite the Taifu to come to our Lu country. If the Taifu comes to the Lu country, Xi can make a serious oath and promise that the Taifu will be our Lu country's minister."

Prime Minister of the State!"

Sir!

Prime Minister!

In the State of Zheng, Ji Zhong was the Prime Minister of the State, which could be said to be one person below ten thousand people. Similarly, the Minister of the State of Lu also had the same status. Both the public and minister clans of the Lu State had the same status.

I'm scrambling to get this spot.

Gongzi Hui's hand tightened as he held the Yubei's Ear Cup, and the veins on the back of his hand became angry. The Yubei's Ear Cup made a squeaky "moan" sound in his hand. If the Yubei's Ear Cup was not made of bronze, it might have been crushed.

.

Gongzi Hui is a nobleman of the Lu State, a serious nobleman, and the younger uncle of Lu Gong. It can be said that he comes from a famous family and has a high reputation, so he is the best choice for the ministers.

However, in recent years, although Lu Gong came to power, he had not decided on a minister and kept delaying it. Gongzi Hui thought that as long as he chose a minister, that minister must be himself. How could he have expected that he would kill a Jie Hu halfway today.

Qi Lu's voice chuckled, and Lu Gongxi's voice said in confusion: "Master Qi, why are you laughing? Could it be that... the master doubts Xi's sincerity?"

Qi Lu's voice was filled with the sycophancy of a treacherous official, and he said faintly: "Gong Lu, you have misunderstood. It's not that I doubt your sincerity, Gong Lu, but this country of Lu...do you really have the final say, Gong Lu? You
