spring and autumn officials

Chapter 13

"I don't know if the taste of the young bastard...is it so delicious?"

The handsome man in a black silk robe and a crown on his head chuckled, "Boom—" he pressed Qi Lu on the thatched couch, and slowly lowered his head...

Suddenly, a bloody mouth opened, like a mutation in a zombie movie, and it bit down on Qi Lu's neck!

"Hiss..." Qi Lu groaned/groaned in a low voice, and suddenly struggled out of the nightmare, covered in cold sweat.Because it was a dream, the neck didn't hurt, but the arm was a little bit tingling, nodding and looking, it turned out to be the son of a dog!

The little dog was still immersed in sleep, lying on its side beside Qi Lu, and also squeezed on the thatched couch, holding Qi Lu's arm with its two short paws, grinding its teeth with Qi Lu's arm...

Seeing the time, Qi Lv saw that today was the day to see off relatives and set off, so he hurriedly turned over and sat up, put on the young concubine's robe that he delivered yesterday, went out and fetched some water, and scooped up the cool water to wash his face , Instantly sobered up a lot.

When Prince Lin got up, Qi Lu had transformed from a mere official to the young concubine of Zheng Guo. The outfit of this young concubine was so different. Putting on such a suit of clothes, Qi Lu instantly set off his tall figure. Slender, with a slender waist tied with a belt, a gentle and handsome temperament rushed towards his face. If Qi Lu didn't speak, he would just stand upright like this, he would seem like an elegant person.

If Qi Lu opens his mouth...

Prince Lin inexplicably thought of Qi Lv's "fishing in troubled waters" in front of Jizhong, and the flushed face of the little gentleman with shame, the white wolf with empty gloves, and the fact that he set up a house for the little gentleman out of thin air, etc., he couldn't help but feel a headache. The short little paws rubbed.

Qi Lv tidied up his clothes, there was no mirror at home, and he didn't care about his appearance, as long as he was decent, he immediately picked up the little dog, left the house, and rushed to the gate of Old Zhengcheng.

The little local dog originally thought that Qi Lu would definitely not bring his "little dog" with him when he went from Zheng Guoyuan to the Luo division of the Zhou royal family. After Qi Lu set off, he would sneak into the team. A cart for transporting goods, so that they can return to Luoshi in a safe and sound manner.

Unexpectedly, Qi Lv played cards so unconventionally, he had no intention of leaving the little dog at home, and went out with the little dog in his arms.

After all, the family is humble and there is nothing to ask for. If Qi Lu really puts the little dog at home, and the puppy is so small, it is estimated that he will starve to death in a few days.

But if entrusted to others to take care of...

Qi Lv thought about it carefully, he was new here, there was no one to trust him to, although there were quite a few people who flattered Qi Lv in recent days, but most of those people were arrogant and obedient, entrusting his son to such a person Man, Qi Lu is afraid that if he walks on the front foot, the little dog will be abused on the back foot. After all, a stupid dog will not sue.

Since Qi Lu has accepted the little dog, he has to pay this responsibility. After all, it is a life, and it is not easy to be perfunctory.

The send-off team gathered in the old Zhengcheng city. Today, Zheng Guo Shangqing, the senior official of the state of Zheng, will come to see off in person on behalf of the king of Zheng Guo, and practice it for Zheng Ji. Because of the presence of the sacrifice, the send-off team must not dare to neglect, and packed up early. .

When Qi Lu arrived, he saw that the little gentleman Ji was already there, riding on a tall horse, wearing a robe of a young concubine that was exactly the same as his own, and on the other end was handsome and suave.

Little Gentleman Ji saw Qi Lu coming from a distance. When he saw Qi Lu, he felt a little hungry in an instant. Because he hadn't had breakfast yet, he thought of Qi Lu's snail noodles and crispy roast goose. He always felt like seeing Qi Lu This person has a sense of synaesthesia, and inexplicably has an illusion of complete color and fragrance...

Ji Xiaojun rode on the white horse, waved the whip, and said, "Hey, Qi Lu! What are you looking at, this side!"

Qi Lu saw the little gentleman at a glance, because no matter what clothes the little gentleman wears, he has an innate "nobility".In fact, if Qi Lu said it, it would be a kind of leaking anger, which couldn't be concealed no matter what, wishing he could put the word "rich" on his forehead.

Qi Lu hurried over, looked at the little gentleman, seemed to be amazed by Qi Lu's clothes, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, you look like a dog in the clothes of a young bastard..."

Before he could say the words "dog-like", Ji Xiaojun immediately widened his eyes and stared at the little dog in Qi Lu's arms with a look of amazement, wishing he could cast his eyeballs on Prince Lin's face and said: "What are you doing with a dog?!"

Qi Lu smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "If you go back to sacrifice to the little gentleman, there is no one in Lu's house, and the little gentleman also saw a few days ago that Lu's shed may be blown down by a gust of wind someday. I'm afraid I can't feel at ease if the puppy stays in the house, so..."

Ji Xiaojunzi said: "So you brought a dog to see you off?!"

Little gentleman Ji thought that if Qi Lu, a glib bastard, came to see off his relatives, maybe he would hook up with Zheng Ji on the way, but unexpectedly, Qi Lu came here with a dog, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Qi Lu didn't care about the little gentleman's questioning, he smiled like a spring breeze, and said: "Lu heard that the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne is very fond of hunting, and there are just a few hounds who are going to pay tribute in the team..."

This time, the send-off team from Zheng Guo not only sent Zheng Ji Gao to marry, but also prepared a series of tribute carts, which were filled with Zheng Guo's treasures.Prince Lin, the grandson of the first emperor of Zhou, was an upright man. He didn't like gold and silver treasures, and he didn't like women, but he preferred hunting, so Zheng Guo naturally wanted to do what he liked. And send it to Master Luo.

Qi Luna meant that the team sending off the relatives already had dogs, so if Goudan followed the team, it would not be abrupt, not an exception. Besides, the team seeing off the relatives is so big, one more dog is not much , One less dog is a lot.

Ji Xiaojunzi "has a grudge" with the little dog. Last time the little dog almost bit him because of a roast goose leg.Ji Xiaojun looked contemptuously at Prince Lin, and said with a sneer, "Just him? I still want to pretend to be a hunting dog. I'm afraid that if I put it in the paddock, I'll be scared by the prey and turn around and run away."

"Aw—aww!"

The little dog was held in Qi Lu's arms, pawed vigorously, and barked wildly at the little gentleman.The hand that Ji Xiaojunzi stretched out to point at the little dog trembled for a moment, and he was so frightened that he automatically circled around at a very fast speed, "Shua!" He took it back.

"The gentleman is here!"

"The priest is here!"

"Quickly, line up to welcome!"

The crowd was in a commotion, and when the little gentleman heard that his uncle was coming, he immediately waved his hands vigorously like a mouse seeing a cat, and said to Qi Lu, "Hurry up, put you little son of a bitch in the back of the car, don't bark!" If my uncle sees it, if he sees it, he might think that I'm not serious, and I'm going to tease cats and dogs again!"

As soon as Qi Lu heard this, the little gentleman Ji agreed, so he was unambiguous, and walked to the carriage behind the team with the little dog in his arms. Several servants and servants saw Qi Lu and recognized him immediately. Come out, this is the young concubine who has just been "promoted", and is a role model among their servants and slaves. Who wouldn't envy him to reach the sky in one step?

Several young officials hurriedly put Qi Lu on the pedals and asked him to get on the carriage.

Qi Lu walked away, and Ji Zhong arrived behind him. The little gentleman Ji was really well-behaved, and he saluted honestly and carefully, saying: "I have seen uncle."

Ji Zhong walked over, he stood with his hands behind his back, 30 years of baptism of the sun and the moon, filled Ji Zhong with the majesty of a superior, gave a faint "hmm", took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve, and slightly Raise your hand.

Little gentleman Ji quickly put his hands above his head, and respectfully took the small bamboo tube that Ji Zhong handed over.

Ji Zhong's voice was very low, he didn't seem to want to make public, and said: "The transfer of the book is of great importance, and it cannot be opened on the way to the relatives. When you enter the Luoshi King City, you have to hand it over to Zhou Gong Hei Jian, remember."

When Ji Xiaojun heard it, his stomach felt as if he had kicked a furry rabbit. He was very curious. He didn't know what was written on the parchment in the bamboo tube, but even if he gave Ji Xiaojun ten more courage, he would not dare Taking a peek, he immediately said, "Uncle please rest assured, nephew respectfully!"

Old Zheng Cheng of the State of Zheng, within the Zheng Palace.

Ji Zhong showed his face at the gate of Old Zheng City, said some polite words, and soon left. He boarded a chariot, and his slaves drove the chariot with black lacquer glyphs, and the chariot and horses entered Zheng He got off the car directly at the gate of Zheng Gong Yanchao, Ji Zhong straightened his clothes, stopped the eunuchs and ministers around him, walked in alone, and came to the gate of Zheng Gong's bedroom.

Outside the bedroom, there was no sound.

An eunuch guarded outside the road bed, saw Ji Zhong, as if seeing a savior, he immediately trotted up to meet him, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, "Master Ji! You are here, today is the Your Majesty... is not in a good mood, I have another headache, and I am bothered, but I don't see anyone."

In this era, eunuchs were similar to eunuchs in later dynasties.Of course, not all eunuchs in this era need to be castrated, and some eunuchs are not clean.

Ji Zhong nodded, but he didn't let the eunuch know the rules. The eunuch seemed to understand the rules, and gently pushed open the door of the Road Sleeping Hall.

The imperial room was quiet, and the incense rose faintly. A man dressed in the monarch's black robe was leaning on the couch, resting his head on his hands, with his eyes closed as if he was asleep. In his early teens, he is only slightly older than Ji Zhong.

Unlike Ji Zhong, a smiling tiger, Zheng Guo's monarch Wu was born with majesty. Even if he was sitting, one could tell that he was tall and exuded an aura of a monarch, which made people dare not stare at him.

Ji Zhong walked in, stood in the narrow passageway between the inner and outer chambers, did not approach immediately, put away the lofty official airs, and said softly: "Your Majesty, did you have a headache again? Zhong will send the medical officer here Pray for your majesty."

The man who closed his eyes and rested his mind slightly opened his eyes, a pair of tiger eyes, but slightly narrow and long, if you talk about what kind of eyes they are, maybe they are a pair of greedy wolf eyes.

Zheng Bowu stretched out his black sleeves, sat up a little, waved his hand in a vague way, Ji Zhong immediately approached, came to the couch and knelt down.

Zheng Bowusheng's voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a low voice: "Gu is a heart disease, and those medical officers can't cure it. In this court, you have to worry about everything alone, and you have to worry about everything alone. How can Gu not suffer from headaches?" ?”

Ji Zhong hurriedly lowered his body and said, "Zhong is incompetent and cannot share your worries for the king."

Zheng Bowei waved his hand, told him to stand up, changed the subject, and said in a low voice, "Yishu...is it sent out?"

Jizhong got up immediately, came behind Mr. Zheng Bowu, stretched out his hand respectfully to rub Mr. Zheng's head, and replied: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that Yishu has already followed the sending team and set off...Nephew Zhong, Although he was a little out of tune on weekdays, he never dared to neglect the things Zhong gave him."

The corners of Ji Zhong's lips were raised slightly, and although his eyes were downcast, his eyes were raised, and he smiled with a sure chance of winning, and said: "Your Majesty, why worry, that Prince Lin is just a brat, in case It would never have occurred to me that seeing off the relatives was just an excuse, and when I, Zheng Guo's army, escorted the book to the Luo division, united with Duke Zhou Heijian to make an alliance, and helped Wang Zihu ascend the throne, this world...isn't your Majesty's possession?"

……

The team of seeing off the relatives is mighty and mighty. The front of the carriage is connected to the rear of the carriage, like a long dragon. The carriage ran over the land of the old Zhengcheng city, leaving deep rut marks. It can be seen that among these carriages, Sheng How many treasures have been placed.

It was the first time for Ji Xiaojun to go out for business, and it was still such a big job. His face was also radiant, and he looked proud. Seeing Qi Lu riding behind him, it seemed that he was not very good at riding a horse, and he was always competing with horses.

The little gentleman Ji pulled the horse's bridle, and dashed the horse forward, showing off his outstanding riding skills, and said mockingly: "How about it, you little official, have you never seen such a scene?"

Qi Lu had a half-smile, and said thoughtfully: "Indeed, such a ostentation is really rare for Lu... The warriors are all equipped with the most sophisticated armor. This posture reminds Lu of Dong Zhuo."

"Dong Zhuo?" The little gentleman was taken aback, and said, "Who is Dong Zhuo?"

The little gentleman Ji is from the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Of course he doesn't know Dong Zhuo. Who is Dong Zhuo?It was the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, under the pretext of quelling the chaos of the ten permanent attendants, a large army entered the Luoshi Imperial City, killed the young emperor, established the Xian emperor, and treated the emperor as a puppet to control the government of the warlord!

Qi Lv smiled slightly, but did not answer the little gentleman's words, but thought silently in his heart: Dong Zhuo is an ambitious jackal, it seems that this trip to Luoshi will not be peaceful...
