"cough!"

Ji Lin didn't expect to enter the palace, but when he heard the Taifu's dandy words, he immediately coughed hard.

In fact, Ji Lin likes the way the tutor behaves like a rogue. If Qi Lu's words "It's better to obey me, the tutor" were meant for the emperor, the emperor would definitely nod his head and agree to Qi Lu's words, but this sentence is for him.

What others said.

As soon as Ji Lin coughed, Qi Lu noticed that the emperor had arrived. He immediately raised his hands and said, "Lü pays homage to the emperor."

Zhu Dan did not expect that the emperor would come again, and he bowed his hands respectfully and said, "I will pay my respects to the emperor."

Ji Lin walked over slowly, without the windy gait he had just now. He seemed very calm and steady, and said, "There's no need to be polite."

Qi Lu bowed his hands in salute, looking very respectful, but his eyes were slightly twitching. He didn't know that the emperor came in a hurry because of him, and thought that the emperor came to visit Gongsun Hua.

A few days ago, in the Yanyin Palace, Gongsun Hua tried to seduce the emperor in order to "rehabilitate" his father. Although the emperor directly refused at that time and said that he did not like him, Qi Lu felt as if he had drunk sour water from a soybean.

Now that the emperor came to Yuanyuan in a hurry, has he changed his mind? After all, Gongsun Hua's beauty is obvious to all. Although he has a lot of allergic erythema now, it is not true that after the allergic symptoms disappear, he can return to his usual beauty.

Disfigured.

The thoughts in Qi Lu's heart were going back and forth, but Ji Lin turned his eyes and saw the opened Shihe. There were many sesame paste cakes in the Shihe, some were salty and some were sweet. He could tell just by smelling it with his nose.

How delicious.

Ji Lin coveted the sesame paste cakes made by his master, but now that there were so many outsiders present, he did not want to undermine the emperor's majesty, so he could only look at the sesame paste cakes with an air of air and his peripheral vision.

Qi Lu was here to do business, so he quickly got back to business, took out a salty mahjong pancake from Shihe, handed it to Gongsun Hua, and said with a smile: "Lü heard that Gongsun doesn't eat and drink. It must be because of Qi'anzhong."

The food is not to your taste, why don't you try the cakes that Lu personally made for Gongsun? These sesame sauce cakes are sweet and delicious, and the malt sugar in them is sweet, which is very delicious. If Lu or Lu remembers correctly, Gongsun likes to eat sweet food?"

Gongsun Hua squinted his eyes and stared at Qi Lu. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qi Lu's gourd. He took the sesame sauce pancake with a little hesitation, and took a bite of the sesame sauce pancake under the emperor's "Xinen" gaze.

When I took this bite, the outer skin was crispy, and the sesame seeds on it were rich and crumbly. However, Gongsun Hua's face turned ugly for a moment. He lowered his head and glanced at the sesame paste pancake in his hand. After confirming it again, he said: "Why, Hua is already the best in the world now."

Prisoner, Taifu is here to have fun with skating, isn't it? This is obviously salty, but Taifu said it is sweet. Don't you know how to bully skating?"

Qi Lu smiled faintly and said, "Oh? Really, this is actually a salty thing?"

Qi Lu had an "I don't know" look on his face, but his expression was very exaggerated. He was clearly trying to amuse Gongsun Hua. This sesame sauce biscuit is indeed salty. Qi Lu made it himself. How could he not tell the difference between salty and sweet?

In terms of taste, the two flavors of sesame cakes are made differently, and in order to distinguish them, the salty ones are larger and the sweet ones are smaller.

Gongsun Hua had no answer and squinted his eyes to look at Qi Lu. As expected, Qi Lu had something to say and said with a smile: "Whether this cake is sweet or salty, Lu thinks that you and I have our own conclusions in our hearts and cannot be deceived."

Human, right?"

Gongsun Hua felt more and more that there was something in Qi Lu's words, and said, "What on earth does Master Qi mean? Just say what you want to say, why bother beating around the bush?"

Qi Lu said calmly: "Since it was Gongsun Linglu who said it directly, Nalu said it bluntly... Just like this sweet and salty food, even children know how to distinguish it. Your Majesty did all kinds of evil in the capital, oppressing the people and occupying the border towns. , I dare to ask Gongsun, you lost a father, so you want revenge, and when Gongzi Shu Duan was the uncle in the capital, how many people lost their fathers, where should they take revenge? What is the uncle in the capital like? It is clear at a glance whether they are good or bad, and it is easier to distinguish than salty and sweet. I dare to ask Gongsun, how can you clear your name and get the uncle Duan? I dare to ask Gongsun, why do you ask Uncle Zheng to rehabilitate your father? ?”

Qi Lu asked three questions in a row, all of which stuck in Gongsun Hua's heart. It is true that Gongshu Duan had dominated the capital for twenty years, and Zheng Bohuan had not touched Gongshu Duan for twenty years, just to make him provoke public anger and lose the support of the people. Finally, a group of people gathered together to attack him. Gongshu Duan was also a reckless person, thinking that his eldest brother Zheng Bowen could not offend him, so he acted unscrupulously, and was eventually killed by himself.

No one would pity such a person, but Gongshu Duan had a filial son. Maybe no matter how bad I was, he was still a good father in his son's heart, so Gongsun Hua wanted to avenge Uncle Zheng for his father.

But in the final analysis, doesn’t Gongsun Hua know what kind of person his father is? If he wants to “rehabilitate” his father, it will be impossible unless right and wrong are reversed.

Gongsun Hua narrowed his eyes and rushed over with a "Bang!" and almost rushed in front of Qi Lu through the cell fence. Ji Lin and Zhu Dan reacted very quickly. Ji Lin stepped in front of Qi Lu and blocked Qi Lu. Behind him, Zhu Dan drew out his sword with a "chi-", put it on Gongsun Hua's shoulder, and shouted: "Back off! Don't be rude!"

Gongsun Hua grabbed hold of the prison bars with both hands, glanced at Zhu Dan with a cold side, then turned to stare at Qi Lu and said, "Is the master here today just to humiliate Hua?"

Gongsun Hua rushed over. He was a martial artist. Yan Yin grabbed Ji Zhong by the neck and lifted him up. It can be seen that although Gongsun Hua is slender, he is a martial artist and has good arm strength. Qi Lu is unable to shoulder. Although he was carrying the "white chicken" that he could not lift, he was not afraid at all on his face. Instead, he was completely relaxed and looked back at Gongsun Hua with a smile.

Qi Lu said: "Gongsun, you have misunderstood. Lu also said it. I came here today to make you obey Lu."

Gongsun Hua frowned and still stared at Qi Lu, while the emperor felt another surge of sour water in his stomach.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Although Gongsun, you can't vindicate your father at all, but you can take revenge. Why not follow the emperor back to Luoshi and serve the emperor. Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, it is necessary to suppress the hegemony and crack down on the lies of the various fiefdoms. Overlords, the first one who needs to be attacked is naturally Uncle Zheng. Since our goals are the same and we are from the same camp, why doesn't Gongsun cooperate with us? Why not?"

Zhu Dan was still present. He was a senior official in the Zheng Kingdom. Hearing Qi Lu's explicit words, his eyelids twitched and he felt a headache for some reason.

Gongsun Hua narrowed his eyes, his eyes wavered slightly, but still did not speak.

Qi Lu smiled and said, "Don't worry. Now that the Four Kingdoms are allied, the emperor will stay in Zheng for a few more days. Should he be a prisoner in Zheng and eat beans and rice from now on, or should he follow us back to Luoshi? Gongsun can have a good time." Let’s think about it.”

After Qi Lu finished speaking, he stopped pestering Gongsun Hua and said to Ji Lin, who was always on guard: "Your Majesty, the cave is wet. I'm afraid I might bump into you, so please move away."

Ji Lin originally came to look for Qi Lu, but now that Qi Lu had finished saying what he wanted to say, he was unwilling to stay here any longer. He nodded and left Qi Lu together with Qi Lu.

Before Qi Lu left, he paused, turned back with a smile and said, "That's right, Gongsun is not used to Yuan's bean rice. If there is anything he wants to eat, you can ask someone to tell Lu. If Lu is free, I will definitely cook it for Gongsun."

After he finished speaking, he stopped staying and left directly.

When Qi Lu came out of the temple, the eunuch was already waiting for him. He said respectfully: "Master, the emperor invites you to join the ride. Please get on, master."

Qi Lu nodded and got on the emperor's carriage with familiarity. It was not his first time anyway. He opened the curtain and got in. As soon as he got in, he was dumbfounded.

Under normal circumstances, Qi Lu makes others dumbfounded. There are really not many opportunities for Qi Lu to be dumbfounded himself. Qi Lu is really dumbfounded right now. He is stunned on the spot and even raises his hand to rub his eyes, as if he wants to Make sure you are looking at the flowers.

There were no wild beasts in the emperor's carriage. The emperor was alone, sitting upright on the mat. His black robe set off the emperor's majestic figure. Even when he was sitting, he was very well-behaved. His appearance of a strict family education revealed the emperor's personality. majesty.

However, such a handsome, majestic, and sacred emperor actually held a salty mahjong pancake in his left hand and a sweet sesame seed pancake in his right hand. He opened his arms from left to right and ate them. Qi Lu personally tested it and found it very friendly. There are still a few white sesame seeds hanging on his lips, shaking slightly as he chews...

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lu's eyelids twitched and he quickly placed it on the carriage curtain, lest people outside would peek at the emperor's indecent appearance.

Qi Lu lowered the curtain and said tentatively: "Emperor, is this sesame cake...?"

Ji Lin saw Qi Lu walking in, stuffed his left and right hands, and stuffed the last bit of the salty and sweet sesame sauce biscuits into his mouth, chewed it slowly, then wiped his lips with a silk handkerchief, and regained his handsomeness. Then he smiled slightly and said: "The master just made these delicious sesame sauce pancakes for Gongsun Hua, but ignored me. I just couldn't help it and took two of them."

smoothly……

Relying on his good martial arts skills, Emperor Yuan took out two of them from the food store when he came out of the temple just now, one salty and one sweet, and hid them in his wide sleeves and brought them out.

Qi Lu never expected that the emperor would do such a thing. He had a splitting headache for a while and said, "This... Emperor, when you get back, Qi Lu will make some sesame paste cakes specially for you. Is that good?"

The emperor immediately showed a handsome smile, not sparing his appearance, and his voice was low and pleasant, like a lover's murmur, and said: "Very good."

Qi Lu: "..." I have an even bigger headache.

Qi Lu went back and made a large pot of sesame sauce biscuits, which had more ingredients than the sesame sauce biscuits he brought to Xuan Fan. After all, the sesame sauce biscuits he brought to Xuan Fan were for Gongsun Hua, while the sesame sauce biscuits he was making were for Gongsun Hua.

What the emperor eats, on the one hand, the emperor has a noble status, on the other hand...

Qi Lu also had a special intention for the emperor. To be honest, Qi Lu saw the emperor eating the small sesame cakes with relish and found it quite "tempting". He only felt that the sesame seeds hanging playfully on the corners of the emperor's lips also changed.

So fragrant and alluring.

Qi Lu made sesame paste pancakes all afternoon, and then Guo Gong Jifu and Zhou Gong Heijian came back. They had successfully completed the preliminary preparations for digging the pit, and were waiting for the final closing of the net in the evening.

Qi Lu was very confident about digging pits. After all, the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period were relatively simple. Kong Fujia would never have thought of digging pits. Song Gong and Yi wanted to capture Young Master Feng, so they went with the devil.

I was stunned. Song Gong and Yi were putting pressure on Kong Fujia, and with the damaging trick of digging holes, it was sure to be successful!

In the evening, after dinner, Qi Lu went to the palace where the emperor was staying, and everyone else arrived. This time, the decoy Young Master Feng, as well as the father-in-law of Guo Gong who was responsible for protecting Young Master Feng, and the Duke of Zhou who was responsible for digging the pit.

Black Shoulder, etc., everyone gathered in the dormitory and repeated the total to avoid any mistakes.

Qi Lu smiled and said, "Young Master Song, you can rest assured. Although this matter may seem dangerous, there is actually no risk at all. As long as everyone cooperates according to the plan, we will definitely be able to capture the great Sima of the Song Dynasty alive."

Young Master Feng's face was still calm, no different from the past, and he said calmly: "Feng has a humble life, but it's nothing. It's all at the discretion of the emperor and the master."

Guo Gongji's father showed the route to everyone again. First, he was ambushed by Song soldiers and horses on a small road. He pretended to be defeated and retreated. The Song soldiers and horses would not let Feng retreat into the city gate, so they must pursue him at full speed. This

When the time comes, you will fall into the pit dug in advance, and finally close the net.

Everyone was ready. Seeing that the sun was approaching midnight, they began to perform their duties and prepare in advance.

Everyone left the dormitory one after another. Ji Lin looked at the time and saw that it would be midnight soon. At midnight, Ji Lin would change from the emperor to a little local dog. Therefore, he could not witness the plan to capture Kong Fujia alive, so he had to tell the story.

Full authority is entrusted to Qi Lu.

When Qi Lu heard this, he was a little strange and said suspiciously: "Won't the Emperor ascend the tower soon?"

Ji Lin coughed, thinking that I also wanted to climb the tower in person, but I would turn into a little local dog when I was young, and there would be no time, so I couldn't climb the tower.

Ji Lin prevaricated and said: "With Taifu in charge, I can rest assured. I..."

He stuttered and his eyes swayed slightly, as if he was thinking about how to lie. Ji Lin has a more upright mind and doesn't lie often. He is not as sharp-tongued as Qi Lu, so there will inevitably be some flaws when he lies. After thinking about it, he said: "I have a little body.

I feel uncomfortable and want to take a rest early."

Feeling uncomfortable again?

The emperor felt uncomfortable last time and asked the emperor to call a medical officer to see him. The emperor did not see the doctor. This time he said he was not feeling well. He was as strong as a cow. How could he be uncomfortable?

And Qi Lu is an old fool. Can he tell that the emperor is lying? The emperor's eyes are shaking so much because of the panic, and the eyes are almost like pinballs on the table. Moreover, he has a very high score.

Plant pinball.

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "The Emperor has a body of ten thousand chariots. If he feels uncomfortable, why don't Lu ask the medical officer to come over and give the Emperor a visit?"

Ji Lin immediately refused and said: "I just have a headache occasionally, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."

Ji Lin saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was almost midnight. He was afraid that if he fell suddenly in front of Qi Lu, he might cause unnecessary panic, and Ji Lin didn't want to turn into a little country dog.

It was really embarrassing for Qi Lu to discover such ridiculous things.

Ji Lin then urged Qi Lu and said, "Master, it's almost time. Master should go to the city gate and take charge. He must capture the great Sima of the Song Dynasty alive for me."

Just when Qi Lu was about to accept the offer, the emperor was so eager that he even took action. He pushed Qi Lu's shoulder, anxiously, as if there was something that made the emperor impatient, and said: "Master, go quickly, don't miss me."

It’s time.”
