Qi Lv!

When the prince Zhuer saw Qi Lu, he was subconsciously afraid. His face twitched, and he lost the arrogance he had just before. He said awkwardly: "Master Qi."

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Nephew, you and I are all relatives, why would you call me Grand Tutor Qi? It's too foreign. If you don't mind, you can call me uncle, okay?"

Qi Lu did it on purpose. The prince and his sons were already afraid of Qi Lu's identity. Qi Lu was of orthodox Qi descent. Now Qi Lu deliberately became related to the prince and his sons just to remind the prince and his sons of his identity.

If you can't find it happily, who can't?

Qi Lu gave a sinister smile. Little Baozi was meant to be "loved". How could such a cute little Baozi be bullied? Even if he was being bullied, he could only be bullied by his uncle to see how little Baozi got hit. .

Prince Zhuer's face really changed color. He was extremely embarrassed, but it was difficult to get angry. After all, there were so many people here. He smiled awkwardly and said: "The alliance is about to begin, so I'll go in first."

The princes and sons fled and quickly entered the alliance camp. Qi Lu then suppressed the smile on his face, turned to the young master Jiu and the young master Xiaobai and said, "You two young masters, are you okay?"

Young Master Jiu shook his head and said to Qi Lu, "Thank you very much, uncle."

Qi Lu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."

He said, looking at Young Master Jiu's young and mature, but extremely cute and white face, he really couldn't help his "prehistoric power", he bent down slightly and gently pinched Young Master Jiu's pretty face.

Young Master Jiu: "..."

Young Master Jiu's mature little face stiffened slightly. At this moment, Young Master Xiaobai immediately stepped forward with his head held high, stopped Qi Lu, and said righteously: "Don't bully Erguoguo!"

Qi Lu looked at the fierce appearance of Young Master Xiaobai, and it was difficult to think of such a little bean bag. In the future, the Spring and Autumn Period would be the first of the Five Hegemons, and the myth of the Spring and Autumn Period began with him.

Qi Lu said deliberately: "But uncle just wants to bully you, what should I do?"

Young Master Xiaobai showed an angry expression, put his hands on his little bucket waist, and said angrily: "Xiaobai! Xiaobai will protect Erguoguo!"

Young Master Jiu helplessly looked at Taifu Qi teasing his younger brother and said, "Uncle, it's almost time, so we'd better camp first."

Everyone walked into the camp, and Qi Lu looked around. Yes, yes, everyone is here. Qi, Lu, Wei, Ju, Zheng, and the officials from Luo Division are all here. , but only the prince Hui of Lu was not there.

Qi Lu had a clear face, but Lu Gongxi had a dark face. It was obvious that Gongzi Hui was still having a cold war with Lu Gongxi, so he did not come to participate in the alliance or raid the formation for Lu Gongxi.

Qi Lu smiled, thinking how Lu Gongxi could still help Qi without the young master Hui Lu, why not just "pretend to be a grandson" obediently.

Of course, pretending to be a grandson has a nice scientific name - Mingzhe Baoshen.

When Lu Gongxi saw Qi Lu smiling at him, he was so ridiculous that he didn't go back. His face was extremely embarrassed, because step by step, Lu Gongxi had completely fallen into Qi Lu's trap. Thinking about it carefully, he just felt shudder.

Soon, after everyone had arrived, the emperor made his final appearance.

Ji Lin, wearing a black royal robe, walked into the alliance camp. Everyone immediately bowed and saluted, shouting: "Greetings to the emperor, I will be king for ten thousand years!"

Ji Lin walked in with a warm and warm smile on his face, but said very modestly: "I don't dare to accept it, but I can't afford to be a courtesy to the kings. I heard that everyone is gathered here, is it?"

Are you here to fight against the tyranny of the few?"

"This...this..."

Everyone immediately looked at the prince and his sons. Their faces were livid, they coughed several times, and almost choked to death. They said: "This is absolutely not the case! This is absolutely not the case! The emperor must not listen to the slanderous words of traitors, we wait...

We are gathered here because..."

The prince and his sons did not expect that the emperor would be so disrespectful and go straight to the point. Therefore, without preparation, they compiled lies and said: "We are gathered here because the king of our country of Qi has passed away. All the kings are kings."

My father's best friend, so...he came to Qi to help and comfort the people's livelihood."

"Is that so?" Ji Lin asked knowingly.

Prince Zhuer wiped his sweat vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, it's just that."

As he spoke, he quickly interrupted and added: "Thanks to the honor of the emperor and all the kings, the king of our country of Qi has passed away, and the country cannot be without a king for a day. Everyone gathered today to elect a king of our country of Qi who is upright and has pure blood.

When the king comes to the throne, he may do his duty faithfully to the emperor without any hesitation!"

Prince Zhuer deliberately emphasized his legitimate name and pure bloodline. Wasn't it just to tell everyone that he was the most legitimate heir to the Qi Kingdom?

Zheng Bowen was sitting in the tent. He was a man of serious words. Since he came to the throne at the age of thirteen, he had never seen any storms and waves, so he naturally developed the habit of speaking nonsense to people and ghosts.

At this time, Zheng Bowensheng raised a smile and said: "In this case, Wensheng heard that Taifu Qi was the orthodox brother of the Duke of Qi in Qi State. Taifu Qi was an upright man and the emperor's mentor.

, His reputation spreads far and wide, and he is benevolent and righteous. If Taifu Qi can inherit the unification of Qi, the world will surely be united and the emperor will trust him!"

The emperor gave Zheng Bohuansheng a Taoist look.

The alarm bells rang in the hearts of the princes and Zhuer, because what Zheng Bowensheng said was right. Qi Lu's reputation spread far and wide, and he was already a famous person in the world. If he wanted to compete for the position of king of Qi, he, the prince, would have to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne.

But the prince Zhuer was not willing to abdicate just like this, and he smiled and said: "What you said, Mr. Zheng, is completely reasonable. Taifu Qi is my uncle. It is a great honor for our country of Qi to have such a famous person, but...

…”

Prince Zhuer began to advance his plan. He had a rough draft in his mind. According to the secret council's rhetoric, he said: "It's just that what this monarch cares about is the people's hearts. According to Zhuer, for the sake of fairness, it is better to invite the emperor."

Be a witness and we will become allies through blood."

The emperor said "Oh?" and said, "How can we make an alliance based on blood?"

The crown prince and Zhuer explained the plan. Among the people present, there were many heirs of Qi. For example, Qi Lu was the younger brother of Qi Hou Lufu, Gongsun Wuwu was the nephew of Qi Hou Lufu, and so were the prince Jiu and the prince Xiaobai.

The son of Lufu, Marquis of Qi.

The State of Qi is an eastern country and does not pay as much attention to the eldest son as in the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, the eldest son usually succeeds to the throne. However, the State of Qi also has many traditions of the younger son ascending the throne. If the princes and sons are princes, there are actually two princes in the State of Qi. In addition to the prince

Besides Zhuer, there is also Gongsun Wuzhi, who is just like a prince, and even his daily attire is more expensive than the prince's, so to be honest, everyone is in fair competition.

The prince Zhu'er waved and asked someone to bring a few jade coins.

Yudun is a ritual instrument in ancient times. Many people must have heard of an idiom - making an alliance with blood.

This Yudun is a ritual vessel made of blood as an alliance. It is a container made of jade. Blood is dropped into it and then closed together for preservation.

The eunuch held up the jade dun and placed it on the table in the shogunate. The prince Zhu'er said: "There are two jade dun here. Zhu'er is not talented. He is the prince appointed by your father, but he also knows that he is young and under pressure." I am not as good as my uncle, so I will serve as a foil today..."

One jade dun was placed in front of the prince Zhu'er, and the other jade dun was placed in front of Qi Lu. The fair competition the prince and Zhu'er talked about was to ask each country to send envoys to drop ox blood on whichever faction they supported. In Yudun, the blood-based alliance was completed.

The prince and his sons acted according to the plan and said hypocritically: "The emperor is the lord of my world, so I ask the emperor to be a witness. I believe all the kings will have no objections?"

The emperor chuckled lightly and said, "I don't have any objections."

When the princes heard what Ji Lin said, they breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Then the rest are Lu, Zheng, Ju, Wei and Qi. Which faction do you support? Whichever jade the blood drops on, the world will return to its heart. The king of Qi selected in this way must have both ability and political integrity!"

The prince and his sons swore that in fact he had already been fined, and the emperor had testified, so Master Luo's vote was a neutral vote and did not count.

The remaining Zheng and Lu countries, even if they defect temporarily, only have two votes. As for Ju, Wei and Qi, everyone has agreed to select the princes and princes. This way, three to two, a sure win!

A cruel smile flashed across the prince's face, he was sure to win this selection!

Qi Lu saw the confident smiles of the prince Zhuer and couldn't help but smile. What a coincidence. Qi Lu also thought so. He would definitely win this selection...

No one had any objections to the selection. It was completely fair, so the selection began.

The eunuch held up the cow's ear. This ancient blood-based alliance was made with cow's blood. Zheng Bohuansheng's first action was, without any surprise, he waved his sleeves and robes. The priest next to him immediately stood up and respectfully Zheng's cow blood dripped into Qi Lu's jade.

drop--

A drop of blood fell into the snow-white jade, and soon covered the round bottom of the jade.

The princes and other princes were completely disdainful and turned to look at Lu Gongxi. Lu Gongxi was originally from the prince's faction in Qi, but today Gongzi Hui did not come to the alliance. Lu Gongxi was weak alone. If he offended the emperor, he would be in trouble in the future. Times are hard.

Lu Gong breathed out his voice and endured again and again, meeting Qi Lu's smiling face. Although he was angry, he still couldn't handle it in the end. One more thing is not one less thing. And judging from Qi Lu's expression, today's winner must be Qi Taifu. Well, it’s not good to use your arms to pinch other people’s thighs.

So Lu Gongxi stood up in person under Qi Lu's "threatening" gaze, and dripped the cow's blood into Qi Lu's jade with a "tick-tock" sound.

It's already two drops of cow's blood.

The princes and sons were not in a hurry, so they volunteered to drop Qi's cow's blood into their own jade, and turned to look at Ju Zi.

Juzi stood up, strode over, and with a "heroic" tone, he dripped Juguo's ox blood into the jade rings of the prince and his sons.

Very good, now it is a two to two tie. The last vote, that is, the vote of Weiguo, is crucial, that is, the absolute vote.

The prince Zhuer smiled confidently, as if he was already the defending king. He turned to look at the Duke of Wei and said urgently: "Mr. Wei, only this drop of your blood is left, please stop!"

The prince and his sons ignored it. Marquis Wei's face was pale and trembling. He stood up with his ears in his hands, his whole body was trembling, and he almost fell to the ground with one step.

Wei Hou slowly walked to the desk of the shogunate, facing Yudun, the prince Zhuer, and raised his hands high, but his hands kept trembling. Just as the prince Zhuer was filled with joy and his face was distorted with excitement. hour……

Tick-tock——

"Hoo!!"
