"The old minister agrees with what the general said just now, no matter what the prince of Qin wants, since he has been held by me, and the two states have no friendship, he will act according to the old rules and exchange property. Qin Di is known for its beautiful jade and iron ore, so why not send an envoy to negotiate and exchange its jade and weapons for the prince! It's the best of both worlds. ”

The court hall was again a sound of conjunction.

"Are there any objections?" King Yan suppressed his smile and looked at the hall.

Another Wenchen walked out, and he saluted and said, "The minister thinks that the prince of Qin should be imprisoned and not vented. Although the Qin State was called a barbaric land by the candidates of the Central Plains, it was also the descendants of Yan and Huang, and now Wei, Han, Chu, etc. have all raised troops to fight, but Qin is still not chaotic. Who knows if he will win the championship one day. Imprison the prince of Qin, if he has another rude state similar to the Qi State to invade the border, our state can also use it to blackmail the Qin people to send troops to contribute! ”

"The Qin people are far away from our state, so how can we talk about things that are far away, it is better to exchange them for property and the royal court!" A military general should refute it at the limit.

"My king Sushang is kind, since the prince of Qin went to Yunmeng Mountain alone to learn art, why not allow him to do what he does, in order to show my magnanimity of Yan Kingdom! Why do you add up to each other? Strategist Tagawa said.

"Back then, my Yan King Uncle Taishan Jitian, who was originally a common man, was plundered by the Qi people, and was forced to exchange a city for it, who talked about generosity! In the past, the five hegemons competed for power, and the king of Jin didn't just coerce the prince of Chu to let him retreat to the south of the big river, who talked about generosity. Now the king of Wei is in his realm with the Son of Heaven, ordering all the candidates to visit, where does he come from to be generous, my king is still imprisoning the prince of Qin, and he can't let the tiger return to the mountain, who knows if he is trying to swallow the land! ”

The court argued.

King Yan looked at the prince, coughed, and the whole hall fell silent.

"The ministers disagreed, first put Prince Qin in custody, and then discuss it another day, Ji Qing stayed!"

The deacons and eunuchs shouted: "Retreat! ”

The ministers talked and went away.

Ji Qing followed King Yan to the harem, and only after King Yan finished changing his clothes did he enter the house and stand on his side.

"Why don't you say that?" King Yan asked while eating the fruit fed by the concubine.

Erchen thought that he didn't know if it was true that Prince Qin went to Yunmeng Mountain to apprentice and seek art, so he didn't dare to say anything. In addition, Mr. Guigu once had a teacher-student teaching with his sons, and his sons thought that if the prince of Qin really had a word with Mr. Guigu, wouldn't he end up with an unkind name! Ji Qing said.

"You have already mentioned the name of Guiguzi, and I have heard that it is famous in Zhuhou recently. It seems that this Guiguzi does have superhuman skills, and he is in my Yan country, it should be a tower near the water, why don't you find out the truth! ”

"Rest assured! Erchen has already made an appointment with Mr. Guigu, and he can ask for advice at any time. Another son once sent someone to build a house for his old mother, in order to last forever! ”

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Yunmeng Mountain is the land of the Great Yan King, and Guiguzi should know this ceremony. If he is really talented, he should be used by me, and he cannot support people from other countries, do you understand? ”

"Erchen understands! The passage of Yunmeng Mountain will be blocked, so that the people of other states will not benefit! So what should Prince Qin do? ”

"Of course, he will be able to change the city one day, how can he exchange it for some necessary property, let alone go to Yunmeng Mountain."

"This..."Ji Qing stopped talking, looked at King Yan, and said: "Please also ask the royal father to wait for his sons to come back from Yunmeng Mountain!" ”

"A woman's opinion!" King Yan pushed away the concubine. "The war between the two countries, the sword and the gun have no eyes, in order to get a place, the soldiers are white and bones, how can they be replaced by the love of children and the words of morality. This king has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, although he has returned in name, but it is not the soldiers who have won the throne, you have to learn the art of smelting the country, how can you be petty! ”

"The son remembers the teachings of the royal father!" Ji Qing knelt down. "Erchen has retired!"

King Yan snorted, turned around and hugged the concubine.

Ji Qing walked out of the royal court and went straight to the prince's mansion with his entourage.

Yunmeng Wonderland, in the ruins of the five-mile ghost valley, quiet and refreshing. On the sacrificial platform on the side, Gongsun Ying, Wen Xiu, Le Yi and Bai Qi poked their heads out and stared down intently. Zou Ji is climbing up along the dangerous peaks of strange rocks.

This is the requirement of the ghost valley, and then there are people who seek teachers who need to go down from this sacrificing platform to the bottom of the valley, and then climb up from the bottom of the valley before they can come to see him. As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Ying and other disciples were startled. This sacrificial platform, named by Mr., is steep and steep, unsnuggled and bottomless. None of them had ever tried it, and they couldn't even climb it. Especially Wenxiu, when he saw Zou Ji going down the valley, he screamed in horror several times. But going up the cliff is even more frightening, Zou Ji's strength has been significantly weakened, and he missed twice and almost fell to the bottom.

Zou Ji didn't dare to stay, he knew that once he slowed down, there would be no possibility of climbing. When Gongsun Ying passed on Guiguzi's entry requirements today, he knew that this was Mr. Tou's assessment of his courage and ability. Mr. was deliberately arranged, after a few days of coming, his body has fully recovered, and he has followed Yingzou through the mountains and mountains every day, and he has become familiar with the characteristics of the stone cliff.

Zou Ji was exhausted, several times he relied on strong perseverance to fight out of death, he thought about his hardships all the way and his belief in serving the royal court and being on top of people. He also knew that several pairs of eyes were staring at him, and he must not back down, and he encouraged himself, and finally, he climbed up to the sacrificial platform.

In a few pairs of surprised eyes, he sat down on the top of the stone cliff.

Le Yi handed him the wooden can, and Wen Xiu wiped his tears with a cloth towel.

Everyone looked at him in silence.

After a while, Zou Ji got up and shouted to the bottom of the valley: "I'm coming up!" I'm coming up! ”

Sound echoes at the valley floor of the endless.

He turned around and took the wooden stick handed by Bai Qi, and staggered towards the Guigu Cave.

For some reason, no one left, and followed Zou Ji's figure until they came to the entrance of the Guigu Cave.

Zou Ji fell to his knees. "Qi people Zou Ji is willing to worship Mr. Guigu as a teacher, please take me as an apprentice, teach me the science of governing the world, and get rid of hunger for the common people!"

"Do you have anything else to be afraid of?" The voice of the gentleman came from the cave, loud and clear, as if it was just in front of him.

"No, Zou Ji has died on the sacrifice platform several times, and he is not afraid of death, what else is terrible!"

"Hahaha," Guiguzi laughed long. "Well said! If you want to learn how to govern the world, you must also let go of vanity. There is no distinction between high and low people in the world, do not seek nobility with officials, and do not seek lowly with cloth clothes. If you have the heart to rule the world, you have the intention of sacrificing your life! Can you do it? ”

"Zou Ji can do it!" Zou Ji straightened up and shouted loudly into the cave.

"Okay, I'll take you as an apprentice, go into the cave!"

Zou Ji stood up excitedly and ran towards the cave.

Wen Xiu, Le Yi and Bai Qi also walked towards the entrance of the cave, but Zhu'er had already walked out to stop them.

"I'd like to say goodbye to Mr. again!" Wenxiu said softly.

"It seems that your master brother is not strict with discipline!" Zhu'er looked at Gongsun Marting. "In the future, you have to discipline Wenxiu a lot, and you can't violate the teacher's orders and enter the forbidden land without permission!"

Gongsun Martingale bowed his hand. "Remember my aunt's teachings! I will definitely discipline all the juniors and disciples on behalf of the master, especially Wenxiu! ”

Wen Xiu pouted at him and looked at Zhu'er. "Senior brother is harsh enough! Let us do this and that all day long, and he will indeed sit quietly and recuperate! She turned to Gongsun Marting. I'm right! ”

"I'm practicing the mental method according to the master's teachings, what do you know, and I still talk in front of my aunt, see if I don't punish you for chopping wood tomorrow!" Gongsun Ying said with a smile. "Until you're convinced."

"I'm but...," Wenxiu said through gritted teeth.

Gongsun Ying immediately interrupted her. "Do you want to say that you are the princess of Wei, if you say it again, I can tell Mr. and expel you from the school. This is what Mr. said, there is no rich or poor here, only brothers and brothers! Right! Auntie. He looked at Pearl.

Zhu'er pulled Wenxiu and smiled. "He's coaxing you to play! I'm afraid I don't know how to hurt you in my heart! ”

"It's still the heart of the disciple who knows the master!" Gongsun Ying blushed and lowered his head.

"Auntie, what are you talking about!" Wenxiu pushed her. "I'm not unusual! I'm going to... Hahaha, don't talk about it! He turned to Bai Qi Leyi. Two junior brothers, what kind of person will the senior sister marry in the future? ”

Le Yi shook his head. "I don't know, aren't my sister and aunt married!"

Bai Qi saw that everyone stopped talking, and looked up at Wenxiu. "Senior sister is so beautiful, if you want to marry, wait for me to grow up, gallop on the battlefield, and marry me after becoming a big hero!"

The crowd laughed.

Gongsun Ying patted his white head. "So young, you know how to rob women, take care of your sheep!"

Several people laughed again, and Jing didn't see Guiguzi and Zou Ji coming out of the cave.

"Zou Ji is so happy to be your junior brother!" Guiguzi said with a smile. "Glad for the teacher! In the future, we should encourage each other, go! ”

"Follow the teachings of Mr.!" Everyone spoke in unison, bowed for a long time, and then laughed and hugged Zou Ji and walked down the valley.

"Senior brother, this time you want to repay me for guiding the way!" Bai Qi said with a smile. "That's what you told me when you went up the mountain!"

"Of course, of course! But I don't know how to repay? Senior brother! Zou Ji lowered his head and finished speaking to Xiao Baiqi, causing everyone to laugh again.

"When the husband speaks, he speaks." Bai Qi said seriously. "Seeing that you don't have anything, give me five days of herding sheep!"

"Senior brother will do it!" Zou Ji also said seriously. "The big husband should be grateful for his kindness!"

"And me!" Wenxiu continued. "In those days, I cooked for you every day, and the hare, pheasant, and fresh fish did not give you a little more weight, so that you could recover your strength, and after the sacrifice platform, do you have to repay me?"

"Yes! Yes, I don't know what the beautiful brother has? Zou Ji smiled.

"Just ask the beautiful male brother to accompany me to pick medicine and tea behind the mountain, and save my aunt from accompaniment!" Wen Xiu raised her head with her chest straight, and her toes were high.

"I'll accompany you, senior brother!" Gongsun Ying looked at Wen Xiu. "The junior brother has just arrived, and the road is not familiar yet, and he still has to train eagles every day!"

"Listen to Senior Brother's arrangement!" Zou Ji said. "I also want to thank Senior Brother Rong Zou Ji for his kindness, the tree of the predecessors, the shade of the descendants, and the affection of the kindness!"

A few people talked and laughed and came to the stove house.

"Senior Brother Bai lights the fire, and I'll cook the rice." Wenxiu said. "Today, let my aunt be more leisurely, read this book... The craftsmanship of this senior brother. She knew that she had almost made a mistake, and glanced at Gongsun Marting. Big brother, what do you think? ”

Gongsun Ying said with a smile: "It's rare for Senior Brother Wenxiu to be so good, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today!" ”

Everyone quieted down and looked at him, waiting for the next conversation.

"Look back at Tongxian Road!" Gongsun Martingale said with a smile. "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the food today!"

Everyone looked back at Dao Xian Road. Dedi and Jing Lu led the prince Ji Qing and his party, carrying the brocade box, and walked towards the valley.

Bai Qi and Le Yi happily ran out, and Wen Xiu also followed.

"Senior brother, it seems that Yunmeng Wonderland is going to be lively!" Gongsun Ying smiled. "It's time for my big brother to do something! I'll go tell the gentleman that you can help them bring the things too!" ”

The two walked up one left and one right.
