This night has passed the hour.

Jing Guojun still couldn't sleep, and pulled Feng Chen, Gongsun Hong and other important guests to plot to leave Qin and return to China. The night was already dark, Jing Guojun yawned a few times, and his sleepiness gradually became worse, but thinking that King Qin had been murderous to him, he couldn't sleep well, and asked the doorman: "Dog thief, what are you doing?" ”

A guest replied, "The dog thief is sleeping in the room." ”

"The dog thief is sleeping?" Jing Guojun was a little angry and said, "Didn't the dog thief promise to get back the fox white fur for me?" ”

One person sneered: "The person who steals chickens and dogs is a gangster in the market." How can you go to the Qin Palace, steal the fox and white fur, and solve the crisis of Jing Guojun. ”

"How can such a person be with us?"

Another person chimed in: "People are divided into three religions and nine streams, and dog thieves are the least popular." How can this kind of person who does not enter the stream become a guest of Jingguo Jun. If this matter is spread, it will damage Jing Guojun's reputation. ”

At that moment, there were a few people who denounced Jing Guojun for not being good at knowing people.

Jing Guojun thought to himself: "This time I really looked away. Nowadays, there are many complaints from the doormen, and the doormen must be checked well in the future. ”

Jing Guojun waited for another half an hour, but there was still no news of the dog thief, and he said in his heart: "I actually pinned my hope on the dog thief? This is not self-defeating. ”

Suddenly, the sound of a dog barking pierced the quiet night sky. Jing Guojun was distraught, and when he heard the sound of the dog barking, he was even more angry, "Where is the beast, drive it away." ”

When several waiters heard this, they went in the direction where the dog barked to see what was going on.

These waiters went out to look for a long time, but there was no sign of the dog. The waiter returned to the mansion and pleaded: "I am incompetent, and I have not been able to find any trace of the dog." ”

Jing Guojun scolded: "I can't do this thing, what use do I want you." ”

At this moment, Feng Chen, who had been asleep for a long time, stretched his stiff arms, and a hearty laugh came out from the corners of his lips.

Seeing this, Jing Guojun said unhappily: "I am so busy with the matter of leaving Qin that I can't feel at ease." You're good, instead of solving the problem for me, you're asleep. When you wake up, you don't have to laugh out loud! ”

"If I don't sleep, Childe won't believe it!"

"Can I believe it?"

Feng Tan saw the annoyed Jing Guo Jun, smiled, and did not speak.

Jing Guojun was not happy and asked, "Sir, what are you laughing at?" ”

"The night is used to sleep, but it's good for the son, if he doesn't sleep, he will take us to accompany him." Feng Tan yawned in satisfaction, "I laugh at my son, and mediocrity disturbs me." ”

One person countered: "How can Mr. say that about Jing Guojun." ”

There are a few more people who criticize Feng Chen.

Feng Tan didn't have the same knowledge as these people, his tired eyes stared at Jing Guojun directly, and he didn't say a word.

Jing Guojun thought about what Feng Tan said, and asked puzzledly: "Sir, why are you laughing at me for being a mediocre person." ”

"Childe handed over the matter of the fox and white fur to the dog thief. You should believe in the ability of dog thieves and get a good night's sleep. When the day dawns, the fox white fur will appear in front of the child. Feng Tan stretched his waist and yawned again, his tone was loose and weak, "Childe doesn't sleep, and then worry, isn't this a mediocre self-disturbance." ”

"Fox Baiqiu is related to whether I can leave Qin Guiqi, and if I don't get the news, how can I sleep with peace of mind." Seeing that the other party didn't understand his feelings, Jing Guojun said with a slightly angry face: "How can I entrust my life to a dog thief." ”

"Mr. Jing Guojun salutes. How could Mr. be rude to Jing Guojun. ”

"Sir's words, it's too much."

A few more people stood up to speak for Jing Guojun and belittled the dog thief.

Feng Chen didn't look at these people who tended to be inflammatory, stared at Jing Guojun and asked, "The dog thief went to the Qin Palace before he died, and stole the fox Baiqiu." Childe's words, isn't it chilling. ”

"The hour is about to pass, and the dog thief is sleeping." Jing Guojun asked, "This is to relieve my worries." ”

"Childe, don't you know that the sound of the dog barking just now is the signal for the dog to steal the Qin Palace?"

"You said that the sound of the dog barking just now was caused by the dog thief."

"To commit theft is to be poor in order to succeed. Dog thieves do not sleep during the day to recuperate, and wait until late at night. How to enter the Qin Palace and steal the fox white fur. Childe's denial of dog thieves is also a denial of his ability to recognize people. Feng Chen scolded: "The dog thief worked hard for his son." Isn't it chilling for Childe to treat him like this? ”

When Jing Guojun heard this, he was ashamed of himself, "Mr. is right, but I didn't think it through." ”

"Childe, sleep! Wake up tomorrow, and the fox white fur will appear in front of you. After Feng Tan finished speaking, he walked towards the gate, "When the son encounters something, be calm." Childe was flustered and added to his troubles. The words that come out of my mouth are chilling. ”

When Jing Guojun heard this, he felt ashamed of his words and deeds just now, bowed down, and sent Feng Tan away. Then, Jing Guojun waved his hand and said, "Let's all go to sleep!" ”

When you are a child, it is the most sleepy time for people to be tired. The dog thief took advantage of this most exhausting time to enter the Qin Palace from the dog cave. The dog thieves followed the route provided by Jing Guojun and accurately found the treasury of the Qin Wangfu. Outside the library gate of King Qin's Mansion, there were several sleepy guards standing in the middle of the road.

One of the guards heard the movement and shouted, "What a sound." ”

The dog thief barked, and the guard heard it and scolded, "Where do the wild dogs come in, disturbing people's dreams?" ”

Several guards were too sleepy, and they didn't think about it, scolded a few words, and continued to sleep again.

The next day, the first rays of sunlight shone into Xianyang City.

Jing Guojun pushed open the window and breathed in the fresh air. After a long time, he turned around and saw a fox white fur on the table.

Jing Guojun mistakenly thought it was a dream, rubbed his eyes, made sure that his eyes were not wrong, stepped forward to pick up the fox white fur, and said happily: "This is true." ”

Feng Tan saw Jing Guojun walking out with a smile on his face, and asked, "Childe, you slept peacefully last night." ”

Jing Guojun looked left and right, saw no trace of the dog thief, and shouted: "Where is the dog thief, I have a reward." ”

Everyone listened to Jing Guojun's words, presumably the dog thief completed the task. They never thought that a person like a dog thief would really do it.

Feng Tan replied: "The dog thief contributed to Gongzi yesterday, and at this moment, he is sleeping in the inferior room. ”

"The dog thief has done a great job for me, how can I sleep in the waiting room." Jing Guojun hurriedly said: "Go and find the dog thief, I will reward him heavily." ”

After a while, the dog thief, as usual, walked in, unkempt, with a dirty face, and very sloppy.

The dog thieves have made great contributions to Jing Guojun, and these high-spirited doormen who usually rely on their own talents do not dare to blame. Jing Guojun has never looked at the dog thief seriously, but today he looks very carefully.

The dog thief stood in the distance and saluted: "Dog thief, please see Jing Guojun." ”

"Stand far and do a lot." Jing Guojun hurriedly said: "Go to the seat." ”

"Dog thieves don't dare."

"Why don't you dare?" Jing Guojun said: "Don't go to the seat quickly." ”

The dog thief was not easy to excuse, so he stepped forward and sat in the position designated by Jing Guojun. The dog thief sat in front of him, always feeling uncomfortable, and when he saw that the people on the left and right were looking at him, he asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?" ”

Jing Guojun saluted and said: "You have made a great contribution to me, please accept my worship." ”

Seeing Jing Guojun's polite tone, the dog thief hurriedly said: "Jing Guojun, I can't afford it." ”

Jing Guojun asked: "The Qin Palace is heavily guarded, how did you sneak into the Qin Palace and steal the Fox Baiqiu from the Qin Palace's treasury." ”

"I drilled the dog hole and entered the Qin Palace. learned to bark as a dog, deceived the guards of the Qin Wangfu Treasury, and stole the fox Baiqiu. ”

"The man has gold under his knees." Jing Guojun saluted again: "Mr. drilled the dog hole for me, please accept me again." ”

"How dare I bear the great gift of Jing Guojun."

"Last night, I was insulting Mr. Said that Mr. is a dog thief and does not enter the upper class. Jing Guojun said in a sincere tone: "I will apologize to Mr. again." ”

"Jing Guojun doesn't have to make amends to me." The dog thief has a frank personality, "I've heard these words a lot, but I'm used to it." Jing Guojun is also right, people like us are indeed not in the upper class. ”

"In the past, I was snubbing Mr., there were many misunderstandings, and please don't be angry."

"Jing Guojun still calls me a dog thief. The word dog thief, I listen to it comfortably. The dog thief said embarrassedly: "Sir, I sound awkward." ”

"Okay." Jing Guojun laughed and said, "I call you a dog thief." ”

Jing Guojun got the fox white fur, and he was overjoyed. At that moment, he ordered someone to set up a banquet to celebrate the dog thief; On the other side, let Gongsun Hong take the fox white fur and give it to Yan Ji.

Yan Ji saw that Gongsun Hong sent the fox white fur, her heart was happy, and she picked up the fox white fur, so she was reluctant to put it down.

Yan Ji said with a smile: "King Qin said that there is only one fox in the world. Where did Qin Xiang get the second piece? ”

"King Qin's fox white fur was also given by Jing Guojun." Gongsun Hong's expression did not leak and said: "Jing Guojun naturally has a way to get the second one." ”

"Qin Xiang's fox white fur shouldn't have been stolen from the king!"

"Wang Ji, I really love to laugh." Gongsun Hong said in a calm tone: "Who dares to steal King Qin's things, this is not a suicide. ”

"The king was really happy to have the white fur of the fox. I asked the king to reward me, but he would not say anything. Yan Ji looked at the color of the fox white fur in front of her, which was no worse than the one of King Qin, "Your Majesty, I never imagined that Qin Xiang also gave me a fox white fur." ”

"Wang Ji." Gongsun Hong asked, "The matter of Qin Xiang's return to China." ”

"You go back and tell Qin Xiang." Yan Ji promised: "Qin Xiang gave me Fox Baiqiu." I should persuade the King of Qin to let Qin Xiang return to the country. ”

At night, King Qin was overjoyed, came to Yan Ji's place, and drank at night.

Yan Ji stepped forward to pour wine and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, what are you happy about?" ”

"The widow used the art of fraud to deceive the king of Chu and detain Wuguan and imprison him in Xianyang." King Qin said with a smile: "The King of Chu is famous, but he is also planted in the hands of widows. The widow ceded the land to the king of Chu, and the king of Chu would rather die than give in. The widow thinks that the king of Chu is a proud person, and he will die if he suffers this great humiliation. Now, the king of Chu eats and drinks well, and he has no intention of seeking death at all. Wouldn't you be happy if you are a widow? ”

"The king should drink more." Yan Ji poured a bottle of wine for King Qin again, "I wish the king to achieve what he wants." ”

"Okay." King Qin drank it all, and his heart was very happy.

Yan Ji drank a bottle of wine and asked, "How did the king come up with the idea of using fraud to detain the king of Chu?" ”

"The widow succeeded to the throne, and he was constrained by the queen mother everywhere." King Qin picked up the wine bottle and drank a bottle alone, "Jing Guojun came to Qin as the prime minister and assisted the widow." Jing Guojun used the art of fraud to advise the widow. The widows detained the king of Chu in order to coerce the king of Chu to cede the two counties of Qianzhong and Wu. The outnumbered soldiers did not bloody open up the territory and establish the king's prestige. And then suppress the power of the mother. ”

"Jing Guojun has meritorious service to the king, and the king will reward Jing Guojun again."

King Qin drank a bottle of stuffy wine and said, "Jing Guojun is very disappointed in the widow. ”

"Your Majesty, why do you say this?"

"He is a Qi man, although the widow uses him, they have to guard against him. Although the widow used Jing Guojun's strategy to deceive the king of Chu. But the widow did not tell him about the seizure of the king of Chu. Qin Wangji remembered the words in the palace, and said: "Jing Guojun learned that he decided to resign and return to China. ”

"Did the king agree?"

"Let him return to the country, the widow is not at ease!" Qin Wangji's eyes showed murderous aura, "Qi people have been in Qin for more than a year." Our country knows all the secrets. Let him return to the country, which is not good for our country. ”

"The king's concern is not unreasonable."

"But Jing Guojun has a helping hand in the widow. The widow killed him, and he couldn't bear it. ”

"Your Majesty, may you let me say something?"

"There is no one else here. Aiki has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"The minister heard that Jing Guojun was wise and wise to the princes. Jing Guojun had no worries about food and clothing in the Qi State, and he was unwilling to enter Qin. The king took the entry of Qin as the prime minister and invited Jing Guojun. Jing Guo Jun came to the Qin State. ”

"You're right." Seeing that Ai Ji still knew these things, King Qin smiled and said, "The widow invited Jing Guojun in the name of Qin Xiang. ”

"Jing Guojun came to Qin as the prime minister, and he did his best to assist the king. The king doesn't need Jing Guojun, how can he have the heart to kill. ”

"If the widow doesn't kill him, he will threaten the Qin State."

"Your Majesty, invite Jing Guojun to come to Qin as the prime minister. The king didn't use it, and he killed him for no reason. Yan Ji saw that King Qin was deep in thought, and said, "It's just that Jing Guojun is an ordinary person. Jing Guojun is not only a virtuous and Wenming prince, but also a member of the Qi clan and a brother of the Qi royal family. The king killed Jing Guojun, which would not only make Qi and Qin evil, but also make the king bear the notoriety of killing the Magi. This matter has spread out, and the wise men of the world, who else will come to Qin to serve the king. ”

"You said these widows didn't think about it."

"The king used it, but did not believe it, but doubted it. How could Jing Guojun not feel cold. Yan Ji said again: "The king asked Jing Guojun to return to the country, and Jing Guojun thanked the king for his kindness." Jing Guojun's return to the country is bound to make good friends with the Qin State, and the king also has one more friend. ”

"You're right. If the widow kills Jing Guojun, he will bear a bad reputation, and it will also lead to Qi and Qin fighting each other. If a widow wants to inherit the hegemony of his father and brother, he must not have the slightest stigma. Qin Wangji took a breath and said: "Jing Guojun does not live up to the Qin State and the widow." I'm sorry for the widow. ”

King Qin said with a smile: "That's it! Jing Guojun was willing to return to the country, and the widow let him go back. ”

Another day later, the King of Qin summoned Jing Guojun into the palace.

"This is a return document prepared by the widow for Qin Xiang. With this national letter, Qin Xiang returned to the country unimpeded. King Qin said earnestly: "Although the widow is not willing to give up Qin Xiang, even if the widow leaves your people, he can't keep your heart." On the chosen day, the widow set up a banquet and practiced it for Qin Xiang. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jing Guojun got the passage paperwork, returned to the mansion, and said with great joy: "It's really good that King Qin let me return to China." ”

Feng Tan said: "Childe, without further ado, we will leave the Qin State immediately." ”

Jing Guojun said lightly: "King Qin will choose a day to practice for me, and he is not in a hurry to return to the country." ”

Feng Tan scolded: "If King Qin wakes up, you will wait for death!" ”

"King Qin promised to let me go, how could it harm me."

"There are many people who want Childe to die. If we stay in the Qin State for a moment, it will be more dangerous. ”

Jing Guojun hurriedly said: "We will return to China immediately." ”

Jing Guojun was afraid of dying in the Qin State, so he quickly whipped his horse and galloped away. Jing Guojun and others came to Hangu Pass, the fortress of Qin, and it was already midnight. Hangu closed the gate and it was closed.

Feng Tan shouted, "Please open the door, General." ”

The guard general hurriedly said: "According to Qin's law, the rooster has not arrived, and you cannot clear the customs." ”

At this time, a person said in a low voice: "Jing Guojun, let me try." ”

Jing Guojun was overjoyed when he saw that person had a way to get General Qin to let him out of the customs.

Jing Guojun was very strange, there were still a few hours before dawn, how could there be the sound of a rooster crowing.

Although General Qin was puzzled, he still opened the city gate when he heard the rooster's crow.

General Qin inspected the documents and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Feng Tan hurriedly said: "We are businessmen. This is the pass that the king has given us. ”

General Qin inspected the half-ring, found nothing suspicious, and ordered to let him go.

Out of Hanguguan, Jing Guojun asked, "What's going on?" ”

"I don't know anything else but imitate the crowing of a rooster. I was recruited as a guest of Jingguo Jun's subordinates, and people called me a rooster. ”

"Thanks to you, I was able to get out of Hangu Pass."
