next gauntlet(1/3)
Qi Lu felt sour in his heart. He was most afraid of trouble, and jealousy was the most troublesome thing in the world. Qi Lu was stunned and realized that he might be a little bit jealous.
Qi Lu immediately muttered to himself, waved his hand and said, "How is that possible?"
I don’t like to eat food that is too sour, as it can cause tooth decay, heartburn, and is prone to hyperacidity...
Although Qi Lu thought this way, he quickly lost his battle and suddenly raised his hands to cover his face with a "painful" look on his face.
When Ji Ya saw Qi Lu suddenly covering his face in pain, he quickly said, "Brother, are you okay?"
Qi Lu said quietly: "It's okay, it's just too sour."
Ji Ya looked confused and looked at Qi Lu strangely.
Ji Lin, who was on the other side, didn't know that Taifu Qi had taken offense to Gongsun Wuzhi's incident. After he beat Gongsun Wuzhi, he quickly sat down at the table, and Yan's drinking began smoothly.
Qi Lu felt disgusted and was a little concerned, so he took the initiative to walk up to Ji Lin with the wine cup. Ji Lin was about to find him, but when he saw Qi Lu, he said: "Master, this Yanyin's big fish and meat,
It’s not as delicious as the spicy and sour radish strips made by Taifu.”
Ever since the emperor ate hot and sour radish sticks and rice, it seemed as if the door to a new world had opened. Qi Lu instantly felt smug and thought to himself, isn’t that so? My master’s craftsmanship, even with radish and cabbage, can make the best.
Delicious taste, no matter how expensive the ingredients are...
Qi Lu was feeling complacent when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He was here to test the emperor, a big pig, so how could he be fooled by the emperor's few words and sweet words?
Qi Lu coughed slightly, pretending to be indifferent, and said: "What kind of person does the emperor think this Qi Gongsun is?"
Ji Lin didn't know what Qi Lu was thinking. He suddenly heard him mention Gongsun of Qi State, and his heart skipped a beat. Gongsun Wuzhi was handsome and well-behaved. He was the kind of person who was very good at pleasing people, and Gongsun Wuzhi had a romantic air about him.
, Ji Lin was afraid that Taifu Qi would be seduced away by Gongsun Wuwu.
Ji Lin did not answer Qi Lu's question, but frowned and said, "Master, are you attracted to Gongsun Wuwu's beauty?"
"Ah?" Qi Lu was stunned. He clearly wanted to ask a question. Why did the emperor come back with a rhetorical question? Qi Lu was confused and stared at the emperor with a confused face.
The emperor immediately grabbed Qi Lu's wrist and said in a deep voice: "I don't allow it."
Qi Lu said "Ah?" again, and became even more confused. It was all about nothing. Could it be that his own momentum was not enough, so he was suppressed by the emperor's momentum?
The emperor spoke for the third time and said: "I didn't even look at the master for a moment, and the master went out to mess with women."
Grand Tutor Qi was unjustly accused and said in shock: "How come Lu is flirting with women? It was clearly the emperor who just flirted with the grandson of Qi."
"Flirting?" The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a smile. His expression was like wind and rain, and he whispered in Qi Lu's ear: "Master...could it be that you've tasted it?"
Qi Lu admitted that he was just jealous, but wouldn't it be very embarrassing if he admitted such a thing to others? Moreover, there were Yanyin's guests all around, so wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if someone heard him?
Qi Lu immediately denied it and said with an upright look: "The emperor was joking, but Lu didn't take it seriously."
However, the handsome emperor kept smiling and said to himself: "I know that the master is very tasteful."
Qi Lu: "..." There is something wrong with the emperor's ears.
There were many people around. Ji Lin whispered in Qi Lu's ear and said in a gentle voice: "Good Master, don't be picky. There is only Master in Lin'er's heart, and there is no room for anyone else."
Teng! Qi Lu's cheeks immediately felt a little hot. In the public, the little puppy actually started to act coquettishly, and even had a greasy tone. However, Master Qi especially likes to eat greasy food. The oilier the food, the more delicious it tastes!
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Ji Lin recounted the incident of beating Gongsun Wuzhi and banning Gongsun Wuzhi, saying: "It's all because the master is messing around with others, and he hasn't realized it yet."
Qi Lu was shocked and said: "Gongsun Wuzhi peeked at Lu... taking a bath?"
Ji Lin looked ugly and snorted coldly.
Qi Lu didn't calm down for a while, waved his hand and said: "Lu is a big man, what's so good about taking a bath?"
After all, before Qi Lu dated Ji Lin, he had never been in love. Let alone a straight man, he even had a girlfriend and lived a life of "no desires and no demands." At first glance, I heard someone peeking Bathing by yourself feels really magical. What’s so good about bathing?
Ji Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "I have never peeked at Taifu's bath, so you have to take a peek before you know what to expect."
Qi Lu: "..."
The farewell dinner for Yan went smoothly. Except for the daughter of the State of Qi, she ate nothing. She asked the palace maid to remove all the dishes and replaced them with a bowl of rice with hot and sour radish strips. There was nothing wrong with the rest. After Ji Lin's beating, Gongsun Wuwu He was so well-behaved that he didn't act like a monster.
After finishing drinking, Qi Lu went back to the house and asked the goat shoulder to fetch hot water. He was ready to take a bath and rest. He would set off early tomorrow morning to go to Zheng to see off his relatives.
The winter night is cool, but the hot soup is warm. The steam rises up in circles, making the whole house warm.
Qi Lu stretched out, rolled up his hair casually, took off his belt, stepped into the hot soup, raised his head and leaned against the edge of the wood, Qi Lu sighed as the breath of the hot soup steamed him, "Just now Wanting to relax and relieve fatigue, I suddenly heard "Zhi Ya——".
Qi Lu frowned, what was the sound? Along with that sound, there was a gust of cool wind coming in. He immediately turned his head to look, and saw that a small crack had been opened in the room door somehow. It was getting colder in winter, and the cold wind flowed along the room door. He squeezed in through the small slit, and Qi Lu was instantly chilled.
And in the gap between the rooms, a pair of dark eyes actually appeared!
Those eyes matched Qi Lu's four eyes, and they immediately flickered and disappeared into the darkness. Then there was a soft sound, and the gap between the rooms and doors lost its support, and the rooms and doors closed instantly.
Qi Lu was startled. It was then that he realized that there was someone squatting under his room. He stepped out of the barrel with a clatter and quickly wrapped himself in his robe. Before Qi Lu could finish wrapping his robe, the lights in the room suddenly started to flicker. , a swoosh went out, and the whole house became dim and chaotic.
Qi Lu's heart skipped a beat. Is there an assassin? He quickly shouted: "Little sheep... ugh!"
Before Qi Lu finished shouting, his voice was all swallowed up. A black shadow quickly flashed into Qi Lu's house, instantly restrained Qi Lu, lowered his head, and swallowed all Qi Lu's shouts.
Qi Lu was so frightened that cold sweat ran down his back. When he was about to struggle, he suddenly felt that the other person's breath was very familiar. The cold sweat instantly turned into hot sweat. Qi Lu was so angry that he bit the other person hard.
"hiss……"
In the darkness, the evil-doing assassin said in a low voice, with a little grievance: "Master, why are you still biting? Master, how dare you be so disrespectful to me, huh?"
When Qi Lu heard the voice, he was even more sure, wasn't this sneaky assassin doing evil things the way he is today?
Qi Lu said fiercely: "Why are you running here, Emperor?"
Tomorrow we have to set off on the road to the Kingdom of Zheng. We have agreed that the emperor will sleep in his own house today and will not come to me. Who would have thought that the emperor would not only kill someone but also act as an assassin.
As expected, the other party was Ji Lin. He chuckled and said, "I'm here to take a peek at Tai Tu."
Ji Lin didn't say anything, but Qi Lu almost forgot. Yes, there was someone peeking under the room just now. Now that I think about it carefully, don't those tiger-like eyes belong to the emperor?
Just now in the Yan'an Drinking Hall, the Emperor said that he had to take a peek to find out. Qi Lu thought he was joking, but he didn't know that the Emperor really did not joke and kept his word, so he ran over and took a peek.
Ji Lin said in a low voice: "The master is indeed very beautiful. Let me take a closer look."
With that said, he picked up Qi Lu and strode inside.
Qi Lu always thought that Jiang was still old, and he was older than the emperor. If he was better than Xiao Li, he must be more skilled. Wouldn't the emperor be eaten to death by him? After all, the emperor was a little naughty dog.
Qi Lu was lying on the couch, feeling the early morning sunlight shining on his eyelids. The little puppy emperor's voice was full of satisfaction and said: "Master, get up quickly, get on the carriage and rest."
Qi Lu suddenly realized that the question of whether ginger is hot or old is completely nonsense. At least it would not work on him. The emperor had more and more tricks. The little puppy was just a false appearance. In fact, the emperor could eat people without spitting out the bones.
wild wolf.
Qi Lu couldn't open his eyes, but today the kings and princes of mortal countries would come to see him off. As the emperor's tutor, Qi Lu couldn't be absent, so he had to get up.
The team sending off the bride will leave Fanguo today and arrive at Zhengguo via Fanguo. Their destination is Zhengguo.
The team was lined up outside the city gate of the border town of Fan State, ready to set off. The team of Zheng State, the team of Qi State, and the team of Luo Division were all already there. Fan Bo took Prince Fan and the minister of Fan State with him.
The officials saw him off at the city gate, and the people from all countries also spontaneously came to see him off.
Because the emperor solved the mountain bandits and horse thieves in Jingyu Mountain Forest this time, the surrounding people were very grateful. The mountain bandits and horse thieves have been plaguing the people of the mortal country. The kings of the mortal countries had no way to do it. When the emperor arrived, he was like a god. From now on
From now on, there will no longer be any horse thieves in the Jingyu mountains and forests, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and they will naturally be grateful to the emperor.
A huge crowd of people came to see him off. They all knelt outside the city gate, spreading like a long river. When they saw Ji Lin coming out, they immediately shouted, "Ten thousand years for the emperor! Ten thousand years for my king!"
The people's mountain cries soared into the sky, echoing over the border towns of Fanguo, shaking through the entire gray winter.
Ji Lin boarded the carriage. He was already tall, but now he stood on the carriage, and he looked even taller. He looked down at the people who were bowing down, with a decent smile on his lips, making him look handsome and calm.
The emperor of the dynasty.
Qi Lu followed behind, seeing the emperor's deceptive smile, he complained in his heart, he was clearly a rebellious little wolf in his youth...
Just when Qi Lu was complaining, he suddenly heard the sound of "rumbling—", like an earthquake, moving from far to near, and gradually became clearer.
The people who came to see him off also heard it. They all looked at each other and said, "What's the sound?"
"Is there an earthquake?"
"What's going on?"
Along with the rumbling sound, the ground was also shaking. At first, I thought it was an hallucination, but then it gradually became obvious that it was definitely not an hallucination.
"Report——!!"
Immediately, a mortal soldier rushed his horse from a distance, shouting: "Report——! Shan Rong is invading! Shan Rong is invading!!!"
The soldier galloped his horse all the way, roaring as he ran. As if to prove his words, the rumbling trembling sound turned into the sound of horse hooves. It turned out that a large number of soldiers were rushing towards the border towns of Fan Kingdom. Come, the horse's hooves trample on the ground, with the potential to overwhelm mountains and seas.
Dust was flying in the distance, and the dust seemed to be like waves, one wave after another, one wave after another, rushing toward them. The waves of dust became more and more vivid from far to near. Among the dust, there were huge waves. A large number of Shanrong soldiers rushed in, one after another.
Fan Bo was so frightened that he turned pale and said: "What's going on!? Aren't there no mountain soldiers and horse thieves anymore?!"
The rushing soldiers had no time to salute and shouted: "Your Majesty, you are not a horse thief! Who are you slaughtering by Shanrong! Who are you slaughtering!"
When Uncle Fan heard this, his face turned pale, his whole body swayed, and he almost sat down on the ground.
The Shanrong people are divided into many branches. Shanrong is just a definition given by the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Tuhe is the country of the Shanrong. The Tuhe country lives in the mountains. Because the Shanrong have continued to grow and annexed internally over the years, the Tuhe people have become more and more popular. He became arrogant and was no longer satisfied with the internal annexation of Shanrong, and wanted to extend his hand into the Central Plains.
In fact, the horse thieves in the Jingyu Mountain Forest are Tu Heren. They are the troops sent by the Tu He Kingdom to station near the Jingyu Mountain Forest. Because of the food and grass problem, these Shanrong people have become horse thieves and are self-sufficient. Therefore, in the final analysis, the Shanrong horse thieves and Tu He is actually a group of people.
Now that all the mountain soldiers and horse thieves were captured by the emperor, Yu Yu surrendered to the emperor again. Tu Heguo heard about this, how could he swallow his breath, so he sent a large army to cross the Jingyu mountains and forests, and went straight to the border of Fanguo. Yi, threatening to bloodbath all the countries!
"Run! The Shanrong are coming!"
