When Wu Ye was about to enter the main hall, he suddenly felt a palpitation, as if he had fallen into the deep sea and was unable to control his indulgence, and he couldn't help but think of the strange dream last night, and the same strange feeling hit his heart. Wu Ye forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, followed Qi Tai's footsteps, and also walked into the main hall.

The light dimmed suddenly, and the temperature in the hall dropped a lot, Wu Ye wanted to look up and see King Zhou on the high platform of the main hall clearly, but because of the light behind him, he couldn't see anything clearly.

Qi Tai respectfully reported: "Wang, Zheng Guo's Wu Ye has already been brought. ”

A young voice came from the high platform: "Let him come up." ”

Wu Ye stepped forward, stood in the same position as Qi Tai, and bowed in a proper manner.

King Zhou said softly: "Wuqing's family, raise your head and let this king look at you." ”

Wu Ye raised his head and looked at King Zhou, instantly feeling as if his heart had been hit by a giant hammer.

The young King Zhou sitting on the throne had exactly the same face as the young man who appeared in the dream last night.

Wu Ye only felt that he was having trouble breathing, the air around him seemed to be completely evacuated, his feet were supported on the ground with difficulty, beads of sweat rolled out of his clothes, and his back was soaked in an instant.

The young King of Zhou looked at Wu Ye gently, and said: "Wu Qing's family was edicted to calm the chaos of Zheng State, showing loyalty, this king must reward you well, I don't know if Wu Qing came to Luoyi this time, can he bring tribute?" ”

Wu Ye stiffened and couldn't say a word, so he could only shake his head with all his might.

King Zhou said disappointedly: "Then Wu Qing can bring grain and meat to present to this king?" ”

Wu Ye still shook his head.

The disappointed King Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Wu Qing, if this is not the case, you go back to Zheng Guo to prepare a tribute to this king, and I will issue an edict to knight you, how about it?" ”

The pressure on Wu Ye's body came strangely, and it went quickly, disappearing like the ebb tide of the sea in an instant, Wu Ye let out a long sigh, and the whole person relaxed.

Hearing King Zhou's words, Wu Ye, who had returned to normal, smiled a little bitterly, obviously made a great contribution, it was the situation of King Zhou rewarding meritorious heroes, but now it has become King Zhou's request for money and food, and he also used the matter of knighthood to blackmail Wu Ye, is the Zhou family really embarrassed to this point?

Wu Ye had no choice but to say: "Wang, Wu Qing has already prepared 100 stones of grain and 10,000 sword coins, which are being transported to Luoyi as a tribute to my king." ”

King Zhou, who was high above, finally showed a relieved smile and said to the attendants beside him: "Hurry up and get the edict for Wu Qing." ”

The attendant respectfully served the edict, and the king of Zhou opened it and read it carefully, picked up the red pen and wrote a few words, and then solemnly stamped the jade seal of the Zhou Dynasty, and it was done.

The attendant took the edict and read it aloud, and after reading it, he trotted all the way to hand the edict to Wu Ye, and said softly: "Congratulations, Da Zhou has added a new loyal viscount, I hope that Dr. Wu can serve the country and do his best." ”

Wu Ye took the edict, and when he opened it, he saw the four words Wu Ye and the viscount newly written, and he felt very awkward, it turned out that this kind of edict for knighthood had already been prepared, even if it was not Wu Ye who came to see him today, but replaced it with Zheng Ye and Wu Ye, just write the name and title in the blank space, which was a very solemn thing in Wu Ye's heart, but it was treated so lightly, and Wu Ye felt a little lost in his heart.

King Zhou didn't notice Wu Ye's expression at all, and rubbed his hands happily and said, "Doctor Wu, when will this tribute be delivered to Luoyi?" "The expression of expectation is beyond words.

Wu Ye replied, "I will definitely be able to reach Luoyi within ten days." ”

King Zhou smiled: "Is there anything else that Doctor Wu has to do?" If not, let General Qi Tai lead you around. After speaking, King Zhou didn't wait for Wu Ye to reply, he left the throne and walked to the side in a hurry, and the attendant who was waiting there immediately handed over a clay pot, King Zhou took the clay pot and carefully lifted the lid of the jar, and there was a sound of crickets inside, King Zhou looked happy and left the hall in a hurry.

Wu Ye glanced at Qi Tai in surprise, couldn't suppress his anger anymore, and said coldly: "This is the King of Zhou that General Qi loyally guards?" ”

Qi Tai's eyes were complicated, he sighed, and said, "The king ordered me to take you around the palace, let's go." ”

Wu Ye threw the edict of the knighthood on the ground and said angrily: "Isn't the world more important than a cricket?" Then I think this title is not so important. ”

Qi Tai saw Wu Ye angrily slamming the edict, his face changed a few times, and with a palm of his hand, the edict flew up from the ground and floated in front of Wu Ye.

Wu Ye waved his hand, but the edict did not fly out of the main hall as he imagined, but floated there without moving.

Wu Ye sneered: "General Qi has good skills, this kung fu sweeps the streets, it must be easy to be proficient." ”

Qi Tai remained unmoved, and said, "Young man, things are not what you see on the surface. ”

Wu Ye put away the edict, although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't want to stimulate Qi Tai, who was more lonely than him.

The two walked out of the uninhabited hall together, and in accordance with King Zhou's instructions, Qi Tai took Wu Ye to visit around the periphery of the palace. It is bounded by the vermilion wall of the inner city of the palace, and the inside of the wall is the place where the king of Zhou lived and lived on weekdays, and it is not allowed to enter at will, and the outside of the wall can only be visited here after being permitted.

Wu Ye followed Qi Tai and visited the outskirts of the deserted palace. When they passed a corner, a voice suddenly came from overhead: "Behind General Qi, it must be Doctor Wu, right?" ”

Qi Tai's face changed drastically, and when he looked up, there was a black-clothed young man sitting on the eaves of the building inside the vermilion wall, staring at them motionlessly.

When Wu Ye saw the young man in black, he couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out to be the king of Zhou who was obsessed with crickets and had no intention of going to politics.

Wu Ye observed for a while, only to find the difference, although this young man and King Zhou look almost identical, but the eyes and temperament are absolutely different, King Zhou in the main hall is frivolous and impetuous, and there is no appearance of a son of heaven at all, and this young man has deep eyes, resolute eyes, and his whole body exudes a momentum and unwillingness.

Qi Tai glanced at Wu Ye and shouted to the young man on the cornice, "Wang, what exactly do you want to do?" ”

What, he is the king of Zhou, who is the person who was in the palace just now?

King Zhou beckoned and shouted, "Come in and speak." ”

Qi Tai said to Wu Ye with a strange expression: "Today's events must not be talked about to outsiders, do you know?" ”

Wu Ye was confused and asked, "General Qi, what is going on?" The person on the roof is King Zhou, so who is the person in the hall just now? ”

Qi Tai shook his head and said, "Can you see that they are not alone?" Then I'll explain it to you slowly when I go back. Let's go first and see King Zhou. ”
