Qi Lu said: "Since everyone is here, let's stay and discuss it."

Qi Lu made a gesture of invitation, which made Gongsun Wuwu feel proud. He immediately puffed up his chest, held his head high, and raised his chin to Meng Yang, indicating that Meng Yang himself was also a useful person.

Meng Yang rubbed his forehead helplessly and asked Gongsun Wuzhi to sit down on the seat.

Although the emperor did not want Gongsun Wuzhi to stay, he always felt that Qi Lu had his own reasons for saying this. After all, Gongsun Wuzhi was an old Qi man and he knew the situation of Qi best. He, a native of Luo Shi, was incomparable.

Everyone sat down, and Meng Yang served behind Gongsun Wuzhi. Gongsun Wuzhi said with a sad face: "It's not me who said, Your Majesty, you must not believe Da Situ. Who doesn't know that Da Situ is a prince's party, and in the past, all the sons were still princes?

At that time, Da Situ was closest to him, but now Da Situ suddenly says that he has detained Zhu'er, and even the pigs don't believe it!"

Da Situ sent his disciples to report to Qi Lu, and he detained Zhu'er, and asked Qi Lu to return to Linzi City secretly to ascend the throne. He knew with his feet that Da Situ's real intention was to introduce Qi Lu into his territory.

It is good to catch them all in one go and solve Zhuer's worries. As long as Qilu dies and Qilu has no son, Zhuer, the former prince, will still be the first in line to succeed.

Gongsun Wuzhi vowed: "It must be Da Situ's trick. Your Majesty, you must not enter the city. Entering the city will only lead to death!"

This point rarely resonates with the emperor. Because the young masters kidnapped the little native dog, the little native dog could be considered as infiltrating into the enemy and overheard some "inside information." As Gongsun Wuwu said,

Da Situ is unreliable.

Da Situ gave Zhuer a plan, which was to detain Zhuer under false pretenses, and then secretly inform Qi Lu, asking Qi Lu to relax his guard, and then enter Linzi City. Da Situ is an official in charge of the people, so mobilizing some troops is not a problem, besides

His disciples are all over the world, and one-third of the entire court in Qi are his disciples. Which department cannot be transferred?

To put it simply, as long as Qi Lu enters Linzi City, let alone ascending the throne, he will immediately become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others.

The emperor frowned and said: "Da Situ just wants to lure Taifu into Linzi City. After all, it is impossible for our Tiger and Ben troops and allied troops to all march into Linzi City."

Even if Qilu has the support of the emperor and the alliance army, Linzi City is the capital of Qi State. How can the nearby army march into the capital of Qi stately? The emperor can bring some personal guards when he enters the capital, but it cannot be too large.

many.

Everyone frowned, but Qi Lu smiled, not worried at all, and said: "Everyone's analysis is correct, but... if you don't enter Linzi City, how can Lu take the throne? Where in the world is this?

Are there any kings who do not enter the capital?"

When he said this, Gongsun Wuzhi immediately fell into disgrace. It was indeed true. What Qi Lu said was so right. He couldn't even enter Linzi City, so why should he be the king of Qi?

Gongsun Wuzhi said angrily: "Da Situ calculated it accurately, so he acted unscrupulously. But...but..."

Gongsun Wuwu rubbed his forehead and said distressedly: "To put it bluntly, Da Situ is the only one in Linzi City. It is almost impossible for us to surpass Da Situ and find someone else to open the door. And now we are being

Being locked up outside Linzi City for a long time and with insufficient supplies is not an option. We need to fight quickly."

This battle must be fought quickly.

Even Gongsun Wuzhi knew that they just set up a camp outside the city gate. As time went by, supplies could not be delivered. It would be inevitable that the young masters would not kill a single carbine and directly send troops out of the city to encircle and suppress them. Then It's too bad, the gain outweighs the loss.

Qi Lu touched his chin and said, "No need to worry, I dare to ask Gongsun, who is in charge of the gates of Linzi City?"

"City gate?" Gongsun Wuzhi thought for a while, his posture was a bit racking his brains. If you asked him what was naughty and fun to visit in Linzi City, Gongsun Wuzhi immediately recited them all, including all the treasures, and there was no mistake in every detail.

Qi Lu suddenly raised the city gate, and Gongsun Wuwu had no idea for a moment.

Seeing Gongsun Wuzhi's confused look, the emperor couldn't help but smile, and a trace of "sarcasm" leaked from the corner of his lips, which was simply the best way to ridicule his "imaginary love rival".

Gongsun Wuzhi blushed in embarrassment. Meng Yang stood behind Gongsun Wuzhi, as if he had expected this, and said calmly: "The person who manages the city gate is also a disciple of Da Situ. He is the son of the Guo family after the Duke of Qi. Call Guozhong."

Qi Lu seemed to have expected this. In fact, he asked Gongsun Wuzhi to stay because he wanted Meng Yang to stay. After all, Meng Yang was much more reliable than Gongsun Wuzhi.

When Gongsun Wuwu heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, Guozhong, I remember him! That's him!"

As an afterthought, Gongsun Wuzhi blushed and scratched the back of his head. In order to make himself appear more reliable, he immediately puffed up his chest and said: "This Guozhong, who is very strict, is the proud disciple of Da Situ. He In charge of the Xiananmen of Linzi City, everyone has said that General Guozhong will be the future Great Situ, and there is no hope for you to infiltrate Guozhong."

The Linzi city gate closest to the Huimeng camp is the lower south gate. Da Situ pretended to detain the princes and sons, fearing that he wanted Qi Lu to go down the south gate and enter Linzi City. In this way, his disciples would be killed at the city gate. Guozhong led troops to seize it.

Meng Yang pondered for a while and then said: "It might be feasible if we take a long way around and take the upper north gate of Linzi City."

"North Gate?" Gongsun Wuwu immediately shouted and said in shock: "North Gate? Let's go around the South Gate to the North Gate? Such a big movement? Besides, the North Gate may not be feasible. If I remember correctly , the gatekeeper of the North Gate, is that idiot named Gao Xi?!"

The emperor heard this in confusion. After all, Qi State was far away from Luoshi, and he did not know the internal situation of Qi State very well.

Meng Yang nodded and said, "It's Gao Xi."

When Gongsun Wuzhi heard this, he shook his head with regret and said: "It's not feasible, it's not feasible, it's not feasible!"

He said it was not feasible three times in a row, and Qi Lu became even more interested. He smiled and asked, "Who is this?"

Speaking of Gao Xi, Gongsun Wuzhi finally found the topic, and immediately started talking, "You don't know, Your Majesty, that this Gao Xi is a strange person in our Linzi city! There is no one weirder than him!" "

Gao Xi is very famous in Linzi City, with four points in total.

Gongsun Wuwu clapped his fingers and said: "First of all, Gao Xi is from Lao Qi, a duke of Qi State, and his family is prominent and famous!"

Gao Xi is a descendant of Jiang Taigong. To put it bluntly, Gao Xi and Lawyer Qi come from the same family and can be said to be relatives. Therefore, they are descendants of the public clan and the nobles of Qi.

Gao Xi had a prominent status, so he was superior to others in Qi State and was naturally famous.

"This second point..." Gongsun Wuwu said: "It is the blood feud between the Gao family and the Guo family."

As mentioned before, Da Situ's favorite disciple Guo Zhong was also a descendant of the Gong clan. Coincidentally, Guo Zhong was also a descendant of Jiang Taigong, and was also a noble of the Qi State. What's even more coincidental is that Gao Xi's given name was Xi, and his courtesy name was Zhong, so Gao Xi was It can also be called Gao Zhong, one is Gao Zhong and the other is Guo Zhong. Both are Zhong and both belong to the public clan. It is inevitable that they will be compared together.

Gongsun Wuwu clicked his tongue and said: "Who doesn't know that Guozhong is a very talented and talented young man in our Qi country? This Gao Xi is relying on some money in his family to praise his talents as being comparable to Jiang Taigong. If you have high vision but low power, you can't do anything well, and you can only boast a false reputation."

As time went on, the Gao family and the Guo family also became feuding. It is an exaggeration to say that they had a bloody feud, but the Gao family and the Guo family did not deal with each other and looked down upon each other.

Gongsun Wuzhi raised three fingers and said: "The third one is Gao Xi's nature. He is so weird and powerful that he can be called the number one weirdo in Qi State."

As mentioned before, Gao Xi had no real ability, but he had been challenging Guo Zhong, the most talented man in Qi State. Guo Zhong was the disciple of Da Situ and had made great achievements in the court of Qi State. He supported Guo Zhong to become There are many people who will be the next Great Situ. But this Gao Xi has never shown any talent, but brags about it everywhere.

"And he thinks he is very aloof," Gongsun Wuzhi poked his temple with his finger and said, "There may be something wrong here. His popularity is very poor. His words are not welcomed by others, and he is often insulted at the door of his house."

Gao Xi is a legendary topic-stopper. He will be ignored wherever he goes. Although he is from a noble family, he is not very popular. Other noble families are afraid of associating with Gao Xi for fear of being implicated and humiliated, and the officials of the Qing clan are not willing to do so. When I interacted with Gao Xiu, I felt that Gao Xiu had no real talent and knowledge, and all relied on the protection of his clan status left by his ancestors.

Gongsun Wuzhi waved his hand and said: "In short, it's a dog-like thing that people don't like to see!"

The more Qi Lu listened, the more interesting he became. Although Gao Xi sounded unpopular, untalented, and even of poor character, hearing Gongsun Wuwu say this reminded Qi Lu of a great man from the time of Duke Huan of Qi.

Mr. White Rabbit——Gaoxi!

In the future period of Duke Huan of Qi, there was a great man in Qi State who called himself Mr. White Rabbit. He could be said to be a great benefactor to Duke Huan of Qi when he came to the throne. This man was Gao Xi.

Many people have heard the story of Duke Huan of Qi and his elder brother Gongzi Jiu "racing" for the throne. According to legend, after the prince Zhu'er came to the throne, Gongzi Jiu and Gongzi Xiaobai were very scared and fled the state of Qi. Gongzi Jiu fled to the state of Lu , but no one wanted to see the young master Xiaobai, so he fled to the state of Ju.

Later, all the sons were killed, and Gongsun Wuwu came to the throne. He was also assassinated not long after he took the throne. For a time, there was no monarch in Qi. The direct heirs, Gongzi Jiu and Gongzi Xiaobai, heard the news and immediately began to rush back to Linzi City. That was the famous " "The tortoise and the hare".

It is said that Young Master Jiu was escorted by Duke Lu's 200 chariots and returned to Linzi in a mighty manner. Because he was afraid that Young Master Xiaobai would return to Linzi first, he sent his subordinate Guan Zhong to assassinate Young Master Xiaobai. Guan Zhong shot Young Master Xiaobai with an arrow. Prince Xiaobai was so anxious that he bit his own tongue and fell off the chariot to bleed. Guan Zhong thought he had killed Prince Xiaobai, so he went back to recover.

When Prince Jiu heard that Prince Xiaobai was dead, he was very happy. He slowed down and returned to Linzi City with great satisfaction. Little did he know that Prince Xiaobai had just faked his death. After Guan Zhong left, he immediately hurried on a starry night to get there.

Linzi City.

Therefore, when Gongzi Jiu arrived at Linzi City, the gate was closed tightly. The city guard told Gongzi Jiu that we already have a king, so you cannot enter the city. And this king was Gongzi Xiaobai who ran to Linzi City first, and was known as Duke Huan of Qi in history.

!

Many people have heard of this famous tortoise and the hare race, but Qi Lu was a little strange back then. In the battle for kings, is it really true that whoever runs first can become the king? Of course not, what most people see is just

It's just a one-sided illusion. There is also one of the most important characters, whose true appearance did not appear in the tortoise and the hare.

That is Gaoxi!

Duke Huan of Qi had already established a good relationship with Gao Xi when he was young. In the days when Prince Jiu and Prince Xiaobai left Linzi, Gao Xi had already jumped from being an unknown prince to becoming a senior official in Qi State.

, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, so when the young master Xiaobai first ran to Linzi City, Gao Xi opened the door to welcome the young master Xiaobai, made him the king of Qi State, and also sent the great minister of Qi State, Gongsun Xi

Peng went to snipe Gongzi Jiu and prevent him from entering the city.

Qi Lu narrowed his eyes. If he was right in his thinking, Mr. Bai Tu, the high-ranking official in the future, wouldn't he be Gao Xi who is now considered a dog and not to be seen?

Qi Lu touched his chin and said, "That's right. Didn't Gongsun just say that Gao Xiu has a fourth place where he is famous?"

Gongsun Wuwu clapped his hands and said, "I almost forgot! This is the fourth famous thing about Gao Xi -"

Gongsun Wuzhi lengthened his voice, chuckled, folded his hands and whispered, "That's it...she's very good-looking."

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "So she is still a beauty?"
