"You mean Heijian?!" The Marquis of Jin was so surprised that he almost shouted: "Heijian betrayed Yu Gu last time, and what happened to the fake emperor was all because of Heijian's bad deeds. He was loyal to the little emperor Mao Tou.

How can you ask Gu to support Black Shoulder? Isn't this a bad thing?!"

The black shadow laughed and said: "The Duke of Jin does not know. The black shoulder is indeed loyal to the emperor, but the emperor is already a living dead. Who else can he be loyal to? If the emperor collapses, the world will be in chaos, and the black shoulder will be in chaos."

Hei Jian is the ninth grandson of Zhou Gongdan, and he is highly virtuous and respected, so he is the best candidate to ascend the throne, and... Hei Jian is very ambitious, so it will definitely be more suitable for Jin Gong to win over Hei Jian now than last time."

The Marquis of Jin was still hesitant, and the shadow added: "Although the emperor has been poisoned, he may be dead, but Duke Jin, please don't forget that the scholar-bureaucrats under the emperor hold heavy troops, and the State of Lu is also watching with eager eyes.

, Just killing one emperor will not fulfill your great cause of hegemony, Duke of Jin. You must find an ally to control the entire Huimen camp, and this ally is none other than Black Shoulder."

Jin Hou squinted his eyes and said: "Black Shoulder..."

"Duke Zhou!"

Duke Zhou was walking hurriedly toward the emperor's camp. Halfway there, he was suddenly stopped by someone. When he looked back, he turned out to be Master Quwo.

Young Master Cheng came over, he was very polite, and he bowed his hands. He smiled and was not friendly, but looked a little hypocritical. Young Master Cheng liked to laugh very much, and said: "Mr. Zhou, you are polite."

Hei Jian looked at Young Master Cheng and said calmly: "What's wrong with Young Master Qu Wo?"

Prince Cheng said with great concern: "You dare to disturb Duke Zhou. Yesterday, the emperor suddenly fell ill and fell down on the altar. Prince Cheng and your father were very worried. However, the emperor was recuperating quietly and saw no one. That's why Prince Cheng came out like this."

As a last resort, I want to ask Duke Zhou about something, but I don’t know about the emperor’s condition...?"

Zhou Gong Heijian's expression is still indifferent, and there is still a layer of arrogance, perhaps because he is arrogant in his heart. After all, Heijian is the ninth grandson of Zhou Gongdan, and his status and bloodline are very noble. However, Mr. Quwo is just a member of the Jin Kingdom.

, the son of a "landlord" in the land of Quwo, whose identity is incomparable with that of Heijian.

Heijian said: "Young Master Quwo is worried. The emperor's condition is not serious, but he is overworked. The medical officer has told him that he needs to rest quietly and recuperate, so he doesn't see other people."

"You can rest assured if you call me this way." Young Master Cheng smiled and said: "Now that the emperor is resting, Duke Zhou is the minister who carries the tripod of our royal family. He is a famous family with pure blood. He was the master of the emperor in the past. If there is

What kind of troubles are there, please... Duke Zhou can help me a little bit more, so as not to be called a blind man, right?"

As they were talking, Heijian raised his head inadvertently and caught a glimpse of a shadow behind the tent not far away. The shadow stood close to the tent, but carelessly exposed a corner of his clothes. The corner of the clothes was very familiar to Heijian, but it was not

Is it the corner of Guo Gong's father's clothes?

Heijian raised his eyebrows and said: "You are all ministers of the emperor, whether you support me or not, Mr. Qu Wo, you are serious."

After Heijian finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "Heijian still has official duties to attend to, so let's go ahead."

Gongzicheng didn't say much, and respectfully sent Heijian away. Guo Gongji's father, who was close to the tent and eavesdropped on Heijian and Gongzichen's conversation, quickly moved away and disappeared.

The young master said that he did not notice Guo Gong Ji's father. After walking a few steps, he saw someone standing in front of him, blocking his way, as if he was waiting for him.

A smile appeared on the gloomy face of the young master, and he said, "Uncle, are you waiting for me to be called your son?"

The person standing in front of Young Master Cheng was indeed the former Young Master of the Jin Kingdom, and now the Young Master Wan of the Luoshi royal family. Young Master Wan said calmly: "Wan is indeed waiting for Young Master Quwo."

The young master said, "Oh? My uncle is suddenly so frank. I'm really flattered."

Mr. Wan's expression remained calm and he said: "I just want to remind Mr. Quwo that if Mr. Quwo wants to take advantage of the emperor's illness to do something wrong, Wan... will never let him go. Pass you."

Young Master Cheng laughed and said, "Why can't uncle trust Cheng'er so much? Cheng'er can still handle it clearly. Now the emperor favors Quwo more than Yicheng. If Cheng'er disrupts the alliance, wouldn't he be asking for trouble? Huh? So uncle doesn’t need to keep an eye on Wen’er.”

Young Master Wan narrowed his eyes and said, "It's best this way." After that, he turned and left.

Qi Lu stayed by the emperor's side. After a whole night, the emperor was still motionless and unconscious, with no reaction at all, not even blinking his eyelids. If it hadn't been for the fact that the emperor was breathing, the medical officer would have thought that the emperor had collapsed.

Qi Lu stayed there all night, and he was also poisoned. The medical officer said that Qi Lu's loss of taste was probably due to the poisoning, so he told Qi Lu to get more rest.

However, Qi Lu was worried about Ji Lin and it was unrealistic to ask him to rest more, so he stayed by his side and actually fell asleep on the edge of the couch.

Qi Lu'er heard the noisy sound and was pulled out of his dream. He looked up and saw that the emperor still hadn't woken up. Instead, it was the little native dog. In such broad daylight, the little native dog was actually awake. His eyes seemed to be filled with worry, and his round black eyes were like pinballs, staring closely at himself, and he yelled, "Ouch!"

Qi Lu rubbed the little native dog's head and said, "Son, are you worried about dad? Dad is fine."

"Ouch!" The little native dog barked again, stretched out his little head, and kept rubbing Qi Lu's cheek, as if he was being coquettish and very clingy.

Qi Lu comforted the little native dog, and when he heard there were noises outside the tent, he got up and walked over with the little native dog in his arms to see who was making the noise outside.

Outside the emperor's tent, a woman's voice said timidly: "General Shi, General Zhu, please let me in. I really have something to report to Grand Tutor Qi. It's a very urgent matter."

She turned out to be the national daughter of Lu State, Wen Lu!

Shi Hou and Zhu Dan were the tiger generals of Luo Division. They were responsible for guarding the entrance of the emperor's tent and blocking those who visited the sick. Unexpectedly, among the people visiting the sick today, there was actually a daughter of the Lu Kingdom.

Zhu Dan stopped the daughter of the State of Lu and said, "Daughter of the State of Lu, please stay. The emperor has ordered that no one be seen. Please return."

Wen Lu was stopped by Zhu Dan and quickly took two steps back. Compared to Zhu Dan's tall figure, Wen Lu was very thin and frightened. She gritted her teeth and said, "Two generals, I really want something." It’s okay if I don’t go in, but you can also ask the two generals to call Grand Tutor Qi out. I’ll bother you two generals!”

Shi Hou had a cold face and was unmoved, while Zhu Dan looked embarrassed. At this moment, there was a "crash" and the curtains opened, and Qi Lu came out with the little native dog in his arms and said: "Who is making the noise? "

When Wen Lu saw Qi Lu, he was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly ran forward and reached out to grab Qi Lu's hand. The little country dog ​​was held in Qi Lu's arms. At this time, the love rival was extremely jealous when they met, and looked at Wen Lu. If Lu wants to touch Qi Lu, he is not an emperor now, he is just a little dog. The advantage of being a little dog is that he can be jealous and mischievous. No one will blame a little dog. .

The little local dog immediately yelled "Ouch!", bared its sharp teeth, and tried to bite Wen Lu's hand. Wen Lu was startled and quickly took his hand back.

Qi Lu quickly comforted the little native dog and said, "Son, don't bite."

The little native dog saw Wen Lu "retreating from the difficulties" and distanced himself from Qi Lu. Then he raised his little head and stared at his love rival with a very disdainful expression on his face.

When Wen Lu saw Qi Lu, he looked like a thief and whispered: "Master, Wen'er came here secretly. Please know that the thief from Lu State suddenly started to mobilize Lu last night for some unknown reason.

The soldiers and horses of the country, and...and the thieves of the Lu country seemed to know that the emperor would fall ill."

Zhu Dan and Shi Hou looked at each other, and Qi Lu narrowed his eyes. The king of Lu State knew that the emperor would get sick? Who could know in advance that others would get sick? The answer is of course very simple.

——The poisoner.

Wen Lu added: "Wen'er sneaked out secretly. I asked Master Qi to be more careful, so Wen'er left now."

As she spoke, she immediately turned around and ran away, like a little rabbit, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Shi Hou immediately said: "Taifu, this country of Lu..."

Qi Lu pondered for a moment and said: "General Shi, secretly check what happened in Lu State to see if it is as what the daughter of Lu State said."

"Yes," Shi Hou said, cupping his hands, "Hou, go right now."

Shi Hou left quickly, and Qi Lu returned to the tent with the little native dog in his arms. As soon as he sat down, Yaoyang Jian came in and said, "Master, Duke Zhou is here."

Duke Zhou Heijian came in from outside the camp, cupped his hands to Qi Lu, and said, "How is the emperor's situation?"

Qi Lu shook his head and said, "It's still the same."

Heijian's expression did not change much. Qi Lu said: "How is Duke Zhou doing? How is public opinion suppressed?"

Heijian chuckled lightly, with a very determined expression on his face, and said: "Don't worry, Master, these little public opinions are not worth anything. No one dares to bite the bullet anymore."

Qi Lu said: "The Duke of Zhou is efficient in doing things, so I will thank you for your service."

Heijian's eyes swayed slightly, and he added: "Yes, there is one more thing... When Heijian came here just now, he met Mr. Quwo."

"Master Quwo?" Qi Lu looked at Heijian.

Heijian said calmly: "Master Quwo asked Heijian about the emperor's condition. He also said that Heijian is the royal family's orthodoxy. If there is any trouble, I hope Heijian can help him."

The young master said that he never expected that if he tried to win over Heijian with his front foot, Heijian would betray him completely with his back foot.

"The wind blows..." Qi Lu's voice said faintly: "The grass is moving?"

As he spoke, he smiled and said: "Sure enough, there is no one in this alliance camp who is safe, they are all just waiting to fish in troubled waters."

The two were talking when there was a sound of "Wow!", and someone opened the tent curtain and walked in. He walked in a hurry. Zhu Dan outside did not stop him, so he must be one of his own.

Sure enough, it was Duke Ji's father who came in a hurry. As he walked, he said: "Master..."

Before he started speaking, he saw at a glance that not only Qi Lu was alone in the inner tent, but also Zhou Gong Heijian.

When Guo Gongji's father saw Hei Jian, he was stunned for a moment, then closed his mouth and did not continue to speak.

Qi Lu said: "It just so happened that Duke Guo was here. Now that the emperor is ill, Lu Guo and Quwo are not worried. Please ask Guo Gong and Zhou Gong to help you and keep an eye on him."

Guo Gong agreed nonchalantly, with a strange look on his face.

Qi Lu then remembered that Duke Guo's father had just arrived in a hurry, and asked, "Yes, what's urgent, Duke Guo?"

When Guo Gongji's father was asked, his face became even more embarrassed. He scratched his chin and said, "This...no, it's nothing."

Qi Lu was a little strange, but Hei Jian said with a clear face: "Are you afraid that Mr. Guo is here to complain to Hei Jian?"

When he said this, Guo Gong's father's face turned dark at first, and then turned red. Because Hei Jian was right, Ji's father came to complain. When Mr. Quwo was wooing Hei Jian, Guo Gong's Ji's father happened to be passing by. He quietly hid in the dark and heard everyone. Hei Jian did not openly refuse the title of son, so Guo Gongji's father felt a little awkward. Moreover, Hei Jian had a "criminal record". Guo Gong Ji's father had been struggling for a long time and wanted to come and fight with him. Qi Lu said it, lest he hold it in his heart and ruin something big.

However, Guo Gong's father-in-law did not expect that Heijian came to "complain" himself and told Qi Lu everything about Qu Wo's wooing him. Therefore, his father-in-law felt that he was too petty and was ashamed at this time. His face naturally looks ugly.

The news of Shi Hou's investigation came back soon. As expected, as Wen Lu said, Lu State indeed dispatched troops and generals last night, and there were army reinforcements near the border between Jin State and Lu State. Qi Lu asked Heijian and Jifu to be on guard. , so as not to be attacked by Lu State, the two of them left the camp together.

Hei Jian and Ji's father walked out of the camp. Ji's father hesitated for a moment, raised his hands to Hei Jian, and gave a big salute, saying: "Gong Zhou, Ji's father uses the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman. He is suspicious of Duke Zhou, so he still Please punish me, Duke Zhou."

Hei Jian smiled slightly, and did not seem to have any angry expression. He just said softly: "Hei Jian and Guo Gong already have such a close relationship. Can Gong Guo still not trust Hei Jian?"

Duke Guo's father said in a hoarse voice: "It's... it's father's fault. Father should not have guessed Duke Zhou. Duke Zhou should just scold him. If there is a punishment, father is willing to accept it."

But Heijian said: "Don't worry, Mr. Guo. Heijian is not a mean person. How can he punish Mr. Guo? Besides..."

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and whispered in the ear of Guo Gong's jealous father: "The more guilty Guo Gong is, the more he can't live without Heijian. Isn't it just right?"

After Hei Jian finished speaking, he pecked Guo Gong's earlobe as if nothing. Guo Gong's uncle could hardly hear his words. He only felt that his earlobe was warm. He subconsciously covered his ears and his throat was hard. Scrolled twice.

Black Shoulder had already crossed over, raised his hand and said, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

The emperor was unconscious, and Ji Lin was forced to turn into a little local dog. He was unable to return to his body and was very anxious. Ji Lin wanted to find out who poisoned and assassinated him, not only himself, but also Taifu Qi. He was poisoned, but fortunately the poison was not serious.
