Chapter XII

Zhu'er took the clothes she had bought and walked happily back to the inn from the street.

Despite the darkness of night, the streets of the capital are lit up everywhere. The door lamps of various traders are colorful and varied.

Zhu'er is happy today because she and Guiguzi saw a scene of a family marrying in the city.

The bride and groom are dressed in festive clothes and hold hands to receive the blessings of their loved ones.

The happiness on the bride's face always flashed in Zhu'er's mind, which reminded her of the feeling of land, and her heart was pounding.

She could feel his hands being hot as he pulled her away. She looked up at Guigu, her eyes met, and Zhu'er knew that there was also longing in his eyes.

Zhu'er went into her room, lit an oil lamp, and tidied up the room.

She spread the newly bought cloth sheet on it, and took out the cloth bag, and the room was filled with fragrance. She lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and joy rippled over her face.

In the next room, Mo Zhai and Guiguzi were talking about their feelings in the past few days.

Since that day, Guigu has performed miraculous feats in the palace, and the sword formation of Jishan has broken the prince, and the name of Guiguzi has been spread throughout the capital, and the more it spreads, the more godly.

Ji Shan respects Guigu even more, and invites him and Mo Zhai to go over every day to talk about the art of war and current affairs. The more he talked about it, the more he admired, he had to worship Guigu as a teacher, and implored Guiguzi to be an official in Yan Kingdom.

Guigu told him that he knew very little about worldly things, and he would go out to see and see, and he would talk about it when he returned to Yunmeng Mountain.

Ji Qing also made sense when he heard it, anyway, the Guigu family is in Yunmeng, Yanguo, and he is close to the water, so he is afraid that he will not succeed. So he gave gold and silver, and prepared good horses.

Guigu refused one by one, but in the end he didn't drop it, and only accepted the horses and the brocade letter written by Ji Shan to Zhao Guogongzi and his friend Shen Buxian.

After talking to Mo Zhai about the history and customs of Yan Kingdom, he thought that he would have to hurry tomorrow, so he walked to his room.

Passing by Zhu'er's room, he suddenly remembered something, so he pushed the door and entered the house.

"It smells so good!" He felt a warmth. "It's more fragrant than the flowers of Yunmeng Wonderland!"

Pearls stood up leisurely and picked up the clothes in her bag.

"Brother Guigu!" She grinned as she approached him. "Close your eyes and think about what you've seen today?"

"See... saw the marriage of ordinary people in Yan Kingdom. Guiguzi recalled, with a smile on his face, he knew that this was what Zhu'er was asking. And..."

"That's all I want!" Zhu'er put her clothes on Guiguzi. "Don't open your eyes!"

Pearls retreated to the bed and quickly changed into her daughter's makeup. "Open your eyes!"

Guigu closed his eyes and knew that Zhu'er would dress himself again. On the way down from the mountain, Zhu'er praised the clothes of pedestrians many times, especially after arriving at the prince's mansion, and was even more envious of the brocade of various colors. She has decided to buy a dress for Pearl, and Pearl's beauty has been highlighted by what she has seen along the way, and she should be paired with better clothes.

He knew that Pearls had walked in front of him.

He lowered his head and looked at his new clothes, brushing them with his hands.

He wanted to say to Zhu'er, "I must be very beautiful, I will buy you one tomorrow", and when he looked up, his eyes stopped at Zhu'er in a dull manner.

Zhu'er was dressed in delicate daughter makeup, her long hair was running to one side, and on her beautiful face, a pair of sunny eyes were looking at her.

This is the most beautiful moment of Zhu'er. "You... You... It's beautiful! Guigu was a little late, and his body unconsciously walked towards Zhu'er.

Pearls also walked towards him, and the two hugged each other.

For a long, long time, they hugged like this.

"Is Pearl beautiful?"

"Beauty, Zhu'er is the most beautiful girl!"

"Does Brother Guigu want to marry Zhu'er?"

"I think, Brother Guigu will marry Zhu'er in this life, and Zhu'er is the best girl!"

The two faces were pressed tightly together, hands swimming over each other's bodies.

Guiguzi picked up Zhu'er and walked to the bed.

Pearl's head tilted feebly, her hair floating to the ground.

He put Zhu'er on the bed and wanted to get up, but his body was hugged tightly by Zhu'er.

They were startled by the sound of stumbling footsteps, and then the two of them sat up in unison, judging the situation outside.

"Mr. Mo Zhai, the strong man of Guigu, the sixth prince Ji is waiting to meet on important matters!" There was a loud sound outside.

Zhu'er breathed a sigh of relief, struck Guigu with both fists, and then lay down upside down, covering her whole body with the quilt.

It turned out that the six princes reported to King Yan about the rescue of the strong man and the fame of the capital of the Ghost Valley, especially Mo Zhai, a famous man who defended the city. Now King Yan is happy, God-given love, and he is worried about how to defend his throne! So he asked the sixth prince to prepare a heavy gift and invite him overnight.

Mo Zhai and Guigu have already understood what King Yan has done in the past few days, and it is indeed as people say, drinking and having fun every day, ignoring the government and politics. Especially after killing the two outspoken elders of the Second Dynasty, the ministers and hereditary nobles were all chilled and fell to the prince one after another. A few flattering people around him did what he liked, and arranged the beauties sent by Donghu after the defeat in the palace, singing and dancing night after night.

Although the crown prince and several princes had the heart to cheer up the royal family, no wise man was willing to take his head, and he did not have more power, and he saw that the people's hearts were tilted.

The prince is in full swing, and the nobles and royal relatives are attached to him. Now, the capital and the surrounding soldiers are in his hands, and it is easy to replace them.

This is the matter of the dispute between Mo Zhai and Guigu at night. Mo Zhai wanted to persuade the prince that he should not attack the palace by force, but should do his best to go to the palace and admonish him, so that King Yan would wake up and be a wise king.

Guigu is different, he listed the king of Zhou You, in order to win a smile from the praise of the concubine, he actually peaked the fire drama and other things, and lamented the root cause of the fire and chaos in the world. It is recommended to go with the flow and stop going against the sky, in this way, wouldn't it make the Yan Kingdom kill each other.

The sixth prince entered the house and told the two of them that they had come to the house, especially that the prince had dispatched troops and would attack the palace sooner or later. If the two can help King Yan pacify the prince, King Yan has promised to give gold beauties and enter the phase.

Guigu looked at Ji Bei's anxious and sincere appearance, and said slowly: "To have today, the way of heaven dictates it." Greedy for honor and power, reunite the unrighteous, go on a killing spree, and the living are suffering. What are the similarities and differences between this and the Jie Xuan! Gongzi must have read Yao Shun's order, if he can do it, the people love him, wouldn't he be the king of the king. If you can't, I'm afraid that you will fight in the same room, so as not to ruin your family and break your wings, giving other countries an opportunity. Wang Gongzi told King Yan that the ghost valley would not be out of the mountain for a short time, and he would not be dark about the world, and he would have to travel through the princes. ”

After listening to this, Ji understood that it was impossible for the two of them to be involved in this matter. However, Guiguzi's words made him feel that he was indeed a talented person, and he was by no means a martial artist.

Again, he thanked him with a long coat. "Ji Zhi will definitely transfer Mr.'s words to King Yan!"

As soon as Ji left, Mo Zhai asked Guigu: "Kong Qiu once said that there are three outlines and five constants, and the way of the monarch and the minister is counted, why did Brother Guigu still leave poems and rebel against the scriptures?" ”

"Brother Mo said that the precedent of the lecture on Zunli was the king of sages, and now..."

Both of them burst out laughing at the same time.

The three of them from Guigu went out of the Yan Kingdom, and they walked in the empty land for two days before they arrived at the North Town of Zhongshan Kingdom, a vassal state of Zhao State.

"Why are there so few people here?" Guigu looked at Mo Zhai suspiciously.

"Zhao Guo has been under the predator since the Jin Dynasty. There is a strong Qin coercion in the west, Wei in the south, the overlord of the Central Plains in the south, a warlike Qi state in the east, and Yan and Hu as neighbors in the north. Mo Zhai sighed. In recent years, there have been continuous military disasters, and there are no three or four out of ten families. Fortunately, King Zhao was able to be preserved! This Zhongshan country is like a country within a country, and the past dynasties have rejected the Hu people, and the free body has long since left the country! ”

The three of them looked into the distance and saw the city flag fluttering.

"We're finally going to town again!" Pearls shouted happily. "In the past two days, it has been related to the abandonment of the abandoned village, which has caused everyone to sleep in the open!"

Guigu glanced at her with a smile. "Zhu'er is hard, without the grain cakes you brought, I'm afraid Brother Mo and I will really starve to death! Entering the city must make Zhu'er eat with a mouth full of oil. ”

"This Zhongshan country can produce good breeds of mutton, and it is said that even slaves don't want to eat meat!" Mo Zhai also smiled. "That's why merchants from neighboring countries come here to buy sheep."

"I feel hungry when you say that!" Zhu'er raised her whip and asked for Cui Ma, but she saw a group of war horses galloping in the distance.

"Look! There's a herd of horses over there! ”

The three of them looked closely, and not only the horses were galloping, but the people on the horses were also holding scimitars, bows and arrows, and tearing apart the chariots they were chasing.

"This must be a war, let's hide first!" Mo Zhai said. "Let's go into the woods, don't get on the road!"

The three dismounted and pulled their horses towards the woods high up in the hills.

"Come here!" A teenager poked his head out of the forest and shouted to them.

The three of them were not polite, and Rama went into the woods as he had pointed out. Turning around, he lay behind the tree like a boy, looking at everything outside the forest.

Hundreds of riders were bare-chested and barebacked, their hair was scattered, some were clutching sheep, some were carrying burdens, and some were holding women, laughing and running. Dozens of chariots behind them, chasing in a phalanx in the field, the soldiers on the chariots were clearly armored and held spears. But after a while, the two teams distanced themselves, and the chariot stopped helplessly, seeing the rider disappear.

"This is the Hu people robbing the village again!" The young man said, and he turned to look at Mo Zhai and them. "You are so bold, you dare to come from that side, if the Hu people are caught, you will have to be a slave for the rest of your life!"

"Was it the Hu people's army that ran in front just now?" Guiguzi looked at the boy.

"How can there be such an army, it is clearly a bandit." Pearls snatched the words.

"It's the army!" He looked at Zhu'er and said seriously. "The army of the Hu people is like this, don't look at it scattered, it can be flexible, especially in large-scale battles, that is called flexible and changeable, the attack is fierce, and the retreat is fast!"

As soon as he said this, Guiguzi couldn't help but look at him carefully. The young man's eyebrows were clear, his eyes were bright, and when he looked at his feet, there was a military formation made of stones.

"You know the art of war?"

"I have liked to practice martial arts and arrange troops since I was a child, but no one taught me, so I came here, and the Hu people often fought with the Zhao army here." The boy was in high spirits. "I've learned a lot!"

"You're not afraid?"

The boy shook his head. "The Hu people are not terrible, but the Zhao army can't beat the Hu people, so they are angry with the people in the city!"

"Tell me what they did?" Mo Zhai asked.

"Don't dare, I'm afraid that if you report to the official, you will be whipped! You're from Yan Kingdom, aren't you? ”

"How do you know?"

"Directions and clothing. … Seeing that you all have swords, you must know martial arts, can you come to live in my house? ”

Mo Zhai and Guigu looked at each other and smiled. "I can't imagine that you are so young, you are still like a gentleman, you are good friends, dare to ask what a strong man is called?"

"After Xia Leyi, General Wei Guoleyang, because his father was buried in Zhongshan, he and his mother lived in the city. Look at you extraordinary, whether you can get to the house, my house is wide. ”

"Good! Just go to your house! Mo Zhai smiled. General Leyang is a loyal and kind general, and he should pay respects! However, "he looked at Xiao Leyi. "But you have to have food to fill your stomach!"

A few people talked and laughed and walked towards the city.
