The palace had a violent reaction to Queen Yan's adoption of the third prince, and King Yan, Su Ji, Su belly, and the eldest prince, all of whom were related to them, belonged to different camps, and they were all playing in secret for their own interests. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But outside the court, this matter has not yet spread, but the matter of Chang'an Jun from Zhao State serving Cai Ze as a guest has left in Jicheng.

"Cai Ze, is that the adult Cai Ze?"

Cai Ze has been in Jicheng for several years, and his footprints have almost traveled to all the mansions of the princes, feudal monarchs, and magnates of the Yan Kingdom, only seeking a master. However, just like Fan Ju, who was depressed in Daliang City back then, Cai Ze was despised because of his ugly appearance and short stature, and he often felt ridiculous that he often compared himself with Wu Qi and Su Qin.

"This person voted for me back then, I thought he was ugly and had bad breath, but he didn't even let him in the door, Chang'an Jun is also a handsome son, can he stand him?"

The scholars of the Yan Kingdom also expressed contempt: "Strike a child, how can you compare with Wu Anjun (Su Qin)?" ”

During the Warring States period, people who were disabled, hunchbacked, or less than 6 feet 2 inches tall were called "ban", which means disability. Although Cai Ze is short, he is far from being so exaggerated, and he is so belittled by others, even Chang'anjun, who appreciates him, accepts him as a sacrificer, and respects him as a guest, has also become a laughing stock.

Lu Goujian and other rangers had already been sent to walk the streets and alleys, and the rumors outside naturally couldn't escape Mingyue's ears, but the person concerned, Cai Ze, didn't think so.

He smiled and bowed to Chang'anjun: "This matter is actually good for Gongzi, the more worthless outsiders belittle their ministers, the more Gongzi's love for talent is highlighted?" Minister, willing to be the horse bone of the son! “

Cai Ze was not ashamed of those who belittled him out of jealousy or contempt, but instead trumpeted Chang'an Jun's love for talent in Yanshi's circle, as if he was a "horse bone" to attract other Yanshi.

Mingyue shouted for him: "What kind of horse bone is sir, it's obviously a thousand-mile horse that is hard to change!" If the gentleman is eloquent, won't he defend himself and prove it? ”

Cai Ze was moved, but smiled indifferently: "There is a novel called "Qi Harmony", which says, there is a fish in the North Underworld, its name is Kun, and it turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. Peng migrates to the South Sea of Styx, and flies angrily, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky, and the water strikes three thousand miles, and those who shake up are ninety thousand miles! Peng relied on the wind to carry the blue sky unimpeded, and then flew south. ”

After being recruited by Chang Anjun, Cai Ze seemed to have become much more confident, he spread his arms, his eyes lit up, as if he really saw a big peng flying high in the sky, and that peng bird was his own incarnation.

When the tiáo and the dove on the ground saw this, they laughed at Peng and said, "We fly with all our might, and when we touch elm and sandalwood trees, we stop, and sometimes we can't fly, and we just fall to the ground." Why fly 90,000 miles to the South China Sea? Those who go to the suburbs only bring the three meals they ate that day, and their stomachs are still full when they come back; Those who go a hundred miles away have to spend the whole night cooking rice to prepare dry food; Those who go thousands of miles away will gather up three months' worth of food. ”

He raised his head proudly: "Xia insects can't talk to Bing, Peng's thoughts, how can the two ants and birds of cicadas and little turtle doves know?" The minister has met democracy, like a fish in the north, and the goal of the minister is the South China Sea thousands of miles away, why bother to talk with this group of insects and birds, wasting time? “

"Good, sir's words are reasonable!" Mingyue was ambitious, and said: "Mr. doesn't have to care about gossip, just know Mr.'s talents and ideals." Birds, the ambition of the birds! ”

……

Out of dissatisfaction and curiosity about this sentence, many people ran to Chang'anjun's mansion to see, not only to see what kind of character this son is, but also to see if Cai Ze is really worthy of this evaluation, and proposed to refute it, they want to prove that who is the bird, who is the bird, who is the bird.

According to Cai Ze, these people are all potential guests of Chang'anjun, Chang'anjun should treat each other politely, hold them high, and then Cai Ze came forward to refute them one by one, and then Chang'anjun invited them to be relieved and invited, these people will be ashamed and put into Chang'anjun's door.

However, the local concept of Yanshi is still relatively heavy, like Cai Ze, there are not many people who are still at war between the two countries and they are under the envoys of the enemy country, and Mingyue can pocket one or two Yanshi who can still see the past every day.

So after letting Cai Ze perform a play of "Horse Bones in Qianjin City", and inviting you into the urn, Mingyue also asked Lu Goujian and others to go to Yan City to walk, their task was to visit the talented people in Yan Country to see if they could take it away.

Lu Goujian has been taking refuge in Chang'an Jun for more than half a year, and he is no longer the stunned ranger, he practiced sword with Shu Qi all day long in Linzi, which also made his martial arts greatly improved, walking between Qi, Zhao and Yan, he has greatly broadened his knowledge, so he has a bit of a "hero" style between his words and deeds.

The Warring States period is the era of rangers, a hero who looks majestic, and he is generous, he can eat well anywhere, he can make friends anywhere, and within a few days, Lu Goujian took people to visit the ranger leaders of Jicheng officials, drank with them, competed with swords, and finally did not fight and did not know each other. But after the end, Lu Goujian was not satisfied and shook his head again and again.

The companion next to him asked him why he shook his head. Lu Goujian said, those rangers seem to be majestic, calling for wind and rain in the market, and they can eat both underworld and white, but they are all bullies and wealthy people, keen to bully men and women, and are not real "chivalrous".

Chang Anjun said, it is better to lack than to abuse, what he needs is a true chivalrous warrior like Du Rong, Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang, Nie Zheng, and the soldier who dies for his confidant!

But how easy is it to find such a person? Lu Goujian sighed, seeing that the day of leaving Yan Country was getting closer and closer, but he still hadn't found such a person.

On this day, the weather gradually cleared, the snow mixed with the soil on the ground was swept into the ravine, and Jicheng, which had been shrouded in ice for a long time, seemed to be revitalized, and in a few days it was the end of the year, and it was another round of sacrifices, village shootings and carnivals, and each family had to buy something. So the peasants and peasant women who sold grain, the pigs who sold meat, the pigs who slaughtered dogs, and the hundreds of workers who sold jewelry, all appeared on the stage one after another, shouting and drinking in the market.

Lu Goujian, who had been walking around the city for a long time again, but returned empty-handed, walked with a few companions on this noisy street that was still cold, and there was a shortcut to return to the pavilion from the west of the city.

As they walked along the avenue, into the alleys, and through the meat market, where the meat was traded every day, Lu Gojian caught a glimpse of a flock of sheep being slaughtered in the streets, steaming blood gushing out of their necks and flowing to the ground, mixed with muddy and snowy water, and soon solidified into a black, viscous appearance. The butchers shouted and peddled the day's goods, the sound of chopping meat never stopped, and at their feet, dogs and chickens searching for meat crumbs were everywhere......

There were still the city officials and two spear-wielding soldiers standing guard in the meat market, but they didn't notice what was going on in the market, and instead focused on flirting with a little woman who sold meat.

At this moment, in the meat market, where there were knives and axes and meat crumbs flying, a heart-rending scream suddenly sounded, and then a cry of horror!

"Murder! Killed! ”

At first hearing this, the busy noise in the meat market suddenly stopped, and everyone turned their heads and looked at the place where the sound came from, and Lu Goujian was no exception.

He saw that in front of a meat stall with a dog's head hanging more than ten paces away, there were three people who were still convulsing, a heroic man dressed as a ranger, and two of his companions were lying in a pool of blood, their eyes wide.

And standing in front of them was a bloodied man with a blood-dripping knife, with an awe-inspiring murderous aura all over his body...... Dog slaughter!
