Seeing that they were scared away by Zhou Fan, they bowed their hands and said, "Thank you for saving you!" Dare to ask the name of the hero? ”

"Don't dare! Can't! In the next surname Zhou Mingfan, the ancient adult is a virtuous name, and I have heard that the daughter of Guan Longxiao has already cared about it, but I didn't have a chance to meet, and today is really a coincidence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info "Zhou Fan said.

"Oh, didn't Guan Long's entire family be killed? How can this concern still live in the world? Eternal asked.

"Yes, at the time of the killing, the concern was saved by Liu Lai, a disciple of Busan." Zhou Fan replied.

"She's there?" Jungu asked eagerly.

"I'm looking for them, and it's a long story, she and another girl were treating at Taishan's false wife, and somehow, all three of them disappeared, and I guessed they had come down the mountain, so I came looking for them, but there was still no news." Zhou Fan explained.

"I haven't seen the three women go by."

"I also interrogated all the way, and I said that I didn't see it, and I was very anxious." Zhou Fan expressed his feelings.

"It seems that they haven't come here, it's better to look in the southwest, the southwest is still a prosperous place for the Shang country, maybe they went there."

"Perhaps, it's important to find someone, so go to the southwest to find it, and say goodbye!" After that, Zhou Fan is leaving.

"Zhou Daxia, please wait, I have something to say to you, I see that you are chivalrous and benevolent, witty, and have the same interests as me, if you don't like it, can you be a half-brother?" Seeing that Zhou Fan was leaving, he said.

"If you become a brother with the end of your life, you will be fortunate in your life." Zhou Fan said.

"Good!" Zhonggu took Zhou Fan's hand and walked out of the hotel together, at this time it was already dawn, they came to the entrance of the road, knelt on the ground together, and swore to heaven and earth: "Heaven and earth testify, I am willing to marry Zhou Fan (Zhonggu) as Jinlan." I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year! ”

They stood up, facing each other, holding each other's hands, and shouting, "Big brother! "Little brother!"

"Brother, if you want to go to the southwest to find someone, I want to go to Shangwang Tang, and I am also going to the southwest, it is better for our brothers to go together." The Ancients proposed.

"That's great."

They walked for a few days, and when they reached the vicinity of Bocheng, the capital of Shang, they came to a long slope. They saw a road at the bottom of the slope extending along the foot of the slope, and it was estimated that they could reach Shangdu along this road. They felt a little tired and sat down the slope.

"We have arrived in Bocheng, the capital of commerce, Bocheng is very developed in commerce, I was an envoy of the Xia Dynasty earlier, I came here to urge grain, but I didn't expect me to come here again." Lying on the slope for the rest of the day, looking at the blue sky and remembering the past.

"Concerned about whether the three of them have also come to Bodu? It would be great to find them here. "Zhou Fan still really wants to find them.

"That's just a matter of luck."

As he was talking, the two ends of the road at the foot of the long slope ushered in two people, carrying a sedan chair all the way on the right, beating gongs and drums; All the way on the left, driving a gorgeous float, following the entourage, walking in the opposite direction. Seeing this, Zhou Fan said: "What are these two people doing?" ”

When Zhonggu heard the sound of gongs and drums, he sat up, looked at it, and said, "They are marrying men and women, and it seems that there is a big family here, and they are about to take a bride." ”

As the two groups approached each other, the leader of the right side saw the person on the left and asked: "I am Yi Yin, Shang and Youxin have an agreement, and ask King Tang to marry him personally, is King Tang here?" ”

When Zhonggu and Zhou Fan heard that it was Shang Wang Tang's team on the left, they were immediately surprised.

Shang Haidao, the leader of the left road: "My Tang King loves Xin Xue, the princess of Youxin Kingdom, how can he not marry him in person?" You see that in that float is the soup king. ”

King Tang slowly stepped off the float and came to Yi Yin and said, "You are Yi Yin?" ”

"Yes, King."

"You've worked hard all the way." Tang Wang said.

"We are slaves, we are used to it, not hard."

King Tang came to the flower bridge and prepared to take the princess down. Behind the sedan chair, a person suddenly flashed out, holding a short knife and stabbing at the Tang King.

At this critical moment, Zhou Fan was surprised: "Not good! His eyes were quick, and as he soared, he struck out his palm, shaking the man's short knife down.

"Help! Help! Shang Hai shouted. Several soldiers quickly came over, captured the assassin, and said, "My lord, we are late to save the driver, please forgive us!" ”

"I'm fine, thanks to this hero flying to help and save the day, may I ask this hero's real name?"

Before Zhou Fan could speak, Zhonggu had already come to King Tang, and bowed his hand and said: "Xiaochen Zhonggu has come to see the king, this is Zhou Fan, the half-brother of Xiaochen who has just married." ”

"Oh, is it the Ancient Lord?" Tang Wang turned his gaze to the end of the ancient world. "Gu Zao heard Lord Zhonggu crying many times to admonish Xia Wangji, not only did he not listen, but he also wanted to kill you, it was really cruel. Later, I heard that you had escaped from the summer capital, so I sent people to inquire about your whereabouts. And you brought your good brother Zhou Fan, thanks to him to save him, otherwise, Lone might have injured Huangquan. Tang Wang said as he turned his gaze to Zhou Fan.

"Thank you, King, for the compliment! Zhou just met well. At this time, Zhou Fancai looked at the Tang King carefully and thought: He is the famous Shang Tang in history? It is said that he is a Ming monarch, if he can follow him, he will be able to achieve a career, overthrow the Xia Dynasty, save the people from fire and water, and thus live up to Master Peng Zu's dying will.

"Oh no, King, the assassin is dead." The soldier shouted in amazement.

Tang Wang and the others came to check that the assassin was indeed dead.

"Well, what the hell is going on with the assassin dying so soon before he can be interrogated?" Tang Wang said suspiciously.

"Report to King Tang that the assassin died of arsenic poison on his neck." Yi Yin said after examining the deceased.

"It seems that this assassin came prepared and died." Shokaido.

"How about a princess? I'm afraid I'm too frightened. Tang Wang said.

Yi Yin lifted the flower bridge, only to see the princess shrink into a ball, Yi Yin said to the princess: "Don't be afraid, the matter has passed, King Tang is already outside the sedan chair, after you get off the sedan chair, lead you to his float." ”

The princess listened to Yi Yin's words and slowly got out of the car. When Tang Wang saw it, he was really as beautiful as a fairy. The princess immediately knelt down and said: "Thanks to the prince himself, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and please don't misunderstand the king, the concubine is really sorry, please accept the concubine!"

"I will definitely find out about this matter, I won't misunderstand your country, the assassin is rushing to the lonely, presumably the princess doesn't know, princess please hurry up!" Tang Wang said.

"Anyway, this family sending team was sent by my Youxin country, and I will definitely send someone to show my father and give King Tang an explanation." The princess said.

"This matter is a long-term consideration, and I will talk about it when I go back to the palace now." After King Tang finished speaking, he turned to Zhonggu and Zhou Fan and said: "Although Jingu was frightened, it is not enough to be troubled, but fortunately the two sages are really a gift from God, and now I invite the two sages to return to the palace together." ”

"Brother, I see that this matter of finding someone has no direction for a while, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to think in the long run. Today, the king of soup is invited, how about obeying his fate? "The End of the Ancient Road.

"Listen to my brother."

Afterwards, they bowed to King Tang and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

King Tang took the princess's hand and came to the float, and the two got on the float together.

"Let's go!" Shang Hai gave an order, and the two people drove all the way to Shangdu.

The palace ascends to the hall, the Tang King sits in front of it, and the civil and military ministers are lined up in two rows, and the hall is very luxurious.

"Before the discussion, I would like to introduce to you Aiqing the two people I just met on the way to welcome relatives, one is Mr. Zhonggu, everyone has heard of it, or already knows it. One is Zhou Fan, who is the one who rescued the orphan on the way to greet his relatives. Tang Wang said.

"Fortunately! Fortunately! Zhong Gu and Zhou Fan saluted everyone present.

"Zhonggu intends to defect to my Shang country, this is the great fortune of my Shang country, and I have decided to entitle Zhong Gu as the imperial historian and participate in the country."

"King Xie!" The End of the Ancient Road.

"Zhou Fan hero, thanks to Lonely, Lone will be rewarded to you." Tang Wang's eyes turned to Zhou Fan again.

"Zhou, it's just a coincidence that he has made meritorious contributions, and he doesn't work for the king's reward." Zhou Fan said modestly.

"Alas, our business country rewards and punishments are clear, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and faults must be punished, this has become a routine, and I can't make an exception for you." Tang Wang said.

"King Tang is the emperor of the current generation, if there is a place where I can be useful, I can serve it, and I don't want material rewards." Zhou Fan intends to stay.

"This is better, you can stay and help the orphans, so that my business country can have another talent." Seeing that you are strong in martial arts, I named you the commander of the inner court, I don't know what you think? ”

"King Xie." Zhou Fan said.

"What is the current matter, please come to the Qing family." King Tang's gaze turned to the other ministers.

"Great King, recently, a large number of people have flowed to our Shang country in neighboring Geguo, and our officers and soldiers have prevented the displaced people from entering the country several times, but they still have little effect, so there have even been bloody conflicts in some places because of this. Later, our officers and soldiers asked the displaced people of Ge Guo why they came to our Shang country, and they all said that Ge Guo had not performed such a major sacrifice for many years, but they were too poor to afford to sacrifice. Our people are so poor that they are dying of hunger, so we have to come to your merchant country to find a way to live. If this matter is not dealt with in a timely manner, it will not only affect the relations between the two countries, but also bring disadvantages to our country. Please play the king's decision? General Wei said.

"I want to hear your opinions." Tang Wang said.

"The minister thinks that it is better to be like the former Yi country, taking advantage of the poverty of Ge and the inability to support military spending, and lead the army of our Shang country to destroy Ge country." Shang Hai played.

"The minister thinks that what Lord Shanghai said is inappropriate, in the past, our Shang country destroyed Yi Guo, Yi Guo was unreasonable, and then my Shang Guo had a reason to appeal. Now that Ge Guo did not directly offend our Shang State, he destroyed it without any reason, which may cause the Xia Dynasty to question and even meet each other. It is better to send some cattle and sheep to Ge Guo and let them sacrifice first, and then send people to Ge Guo to help them plant crops, so that the people of Ge can eat, so that the problem of the displaced people of Ge Guo will naturally be solved, and Ge Guo will definitely be grateful to my Shang State, and over time, he will surrender to Shang Guo. If Ge Guo does not surrender again, we will find a reason to use the army. The end of the ancient analysis.

After the end of the ancient words, the court was full of discussions. The two opinions were at odds with each other, and King Tang had no choice but to announce the dissolution of the dynasty and discuss it again next time.

Since the princess of Xin Kingdom married the soup king, Yi Yin has become the chef of the soup king and the princess, in order to make the soup king pay attention to him, he deliberately made the dishes salty and light for a while, which made the soup king very angry, but for the sake of the situation, the soup king has endured.

One day, the soup king put on a family banquet and invited Zhou Fan and Zhonggu to eat, and the dishes made by Yi Yin seemed beautiful and delicious, but some were too salty and some were too light. King Tang couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked in person: "Yi Yin, how did you do it, you always make the dishes too salty and too light." ”

After hearing this, Yi Yin didn't feel afraid, but said unhurriedly: "King, how do you say the best delicacy in the world is made?" ”

When Tang Wang heard this, he was very angry, so he said: "You are a chef, of course you know better than me, and you still ask Gu?" ”

Yi Yin saw that it was time for the king to behave, so he talked eloquently: "Cooking should neither be too salty nor too light. If the dish is too salty or too light, no matter how good the ingredients are, people should not eat them. The same is true for governing the country, the law must not be too strict, but it must not be too lax, and it is necessary to grasp a good degree and grasp the proportion, so that the country can prosper and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

After hearing this, King Tang suddenly realized and said: "In the past, it was rumored that you Yiyin had the talent to govern the country, and he brought jade, brocade silk, and horses to Youxin to invite you to Youxin five times, but he was rejected by Youxin Wang, and now he sent you over as the princess's wedding chef. Now it seems that I was wrong. You can use the principle of cooking to describe the way of governance, which is really admirable, and I hope you can assist in the governance of the country and create a new future for the country. ”

"Thank you for your trust in me." Yi Yin arched his hand.

Later, Yi Yin remixed the dishes, and he mastered the "degree" to make the dishes delicious immediately. King Tang invited Yi Yin to sit down and drink and eat food on the spot, and chatted about the recent exiles of Ge Guo while eating, and asked in person: "There are two opposing opinions in the palm of the current court, one is to lead troops to attack Ge Guo; One is to send cattle and sheep to Ge Guo, and help Ge Guo to reclaim and farm, so that Ge Guo will submit to the Shang State, what plan do you think Gu should adopt? ”

"Leading troops to attack not only costs lives and money, but also damages the country of Ge and harms the people of Li. On the surface, it seems that the Shang State has a certain loss, and the other things are generally calculated to attack more than to pacify the loss, and besides, the king has been promoting benevolent politics in the world, of course, it is most appropriate to make it surrender without attacking. ”

Tang Wang said happily: "What you said is very good. ”

Early the next morning, King Tang went to the court and said to the ministers of the court: "Today I introduced a person to your family, he pointed to Yi Yin next to him and said: "It's him, his name is Yi Yin, that is, I have been to Youxin country three times in the past to invite the person, he not only has a good cooking skills, but more importantly, he has the talent to govern the country, he is now married to the side of the lonely with Princess Youxin, and now I let him be the prime minister." ”

When Yi Yin heard that Ren was the prime minister, he knelt down and said: "King, this must not be, first, the ministers are shallow in their learning, and they are willing to take on their heavy responsibilities." The second is that the minister has just come to the Shang country, and he has not made any contribution to the king and the country, so he cannot enjoy such a high-ranking official and generous manner. After many days of observation in Shangguo, he can recommend one person to take on this position, he is Lord Zhou Fan, the commander of the inner court, this person is both civil and military, and he has saved the life of the king and made a significant contribution to Shangguo. ”

"Lord Yi praised me too much, I am young, my qualifications are still shallow, I can only have a few sets of martial arts, as for governing the country and leveling the world, I can compare with Lord Yi, not to mention that I have been appointed now, I think the position of Xiangguo is not Lord Yi." Zhou Fan said.

"Don't be humble to each other anymore, I have made up my mind, Yi Yin is the minister of the country, and I will assist the country to deal with the country."

"Thank you, King!" At this time, Yi Yin thanked him.

"Regarding the matter of Ge Guo, Gu decided not to fight, send cattle and sheep, and help farm the land to show appeasement." Tang Wang said.

"100,000 urgent, report! Border Alert! A border soldier officer broke in, knelt down and reported: "The soldiers of the Xia Dynasty have arrived at the border of our Shang country, and they are looking for what our Shang country wants." ”

"Oh, you didn't fight with Xia Chaobing, did you?" Tang Wang said.

"No, without the order of the King of Shang, how dare we fight with Xia Bing." The soldier said.

"That's good, King Xia is still the lord of the world, and he shouldn't fight with it." Tang Wang said.

Zhou Fan saw that the person who reported over there was Captain Liu of Yi Guo, but it was inconvenient to recognize each other above the court.

"Guys, is there a good way to retreat?" Tang Wang asked.

"May I ask who is the one who led the troops?" Yi Yin asked Liu Xiao for comfort.

"It's Zhao Liang, the minister of the Xia Dynasty." Liu Xiaowei replied.

Yi Yin turned around again and asked Zhonggudao, "What is this Zhao Liang's favorite?" ”

"Zhao Liang is a greedy and lustful villain, he loves gold and silver treasures, beauties, and martial arts the most." The Ancients replied.

Yi Yin said to King Tang: "As long as the Great King Yun Weichen brings some gold and silver treasures, and then asks Commander Zhou to follow him to the Yi Kingdom, you can immediately ask him to withdraw without spending a single soldier." ”

"Okay, then I'll go to Yiguo on Tuesday, and I'll wait for your good news of retreat."

Yi Yin and Zhou Fan said goodbye to King Tang and said, "Listen to the order of the king!" Live up to the mission of retreating! ”
