"Your Majesty, if you want to get rid of the Chen family, you must kill these three soldiers first!"

Looking at the three tiger warriors who were climbing the high platform, and then listening to Yan Ying's words, Qi Hou's eyes showed a trace of confusion.

"This ...... Master, now that Qi and Jin are fighting for hegemony, I need such warriors to drive forward for me and attack the city, why do you want to kill him? ”

Yan Ying replied: "The minister heard that the warriors raised by the virtuous lord know the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and the lower is clear and straightforward, and can prohibit riots internally, and can deter the enemy externally. ”

"And now these three people who are raised by the sovereign have no righteousness of kings and ministers, and no long-term morality below, and they cannot prohibit violence inside, and they cannot threaten the enemy outside. What's more, they are the party of the Chen family, and the king is not for the country, but for the Chen family! It's better to go to such a dangerous weapon! ”

Yan Ying believes that although the Qi State is currently competing with Jin for hegemony, these three people can charge into battle and capture the flag. But in fact, the battle for hegemony was also instigated by the Chen family in order to take Qi Hou's eyes away from internal affairs, and the more the war was stale, the more Chen would be able to seize power, raise soldiers, and win the hearts of the people!

Qi Hou clasped his palms tightly with both hands, and his eyes were hesitant.

The old Yan Ying bowed respectfully to the Marquis of Qi: "The disaster of the Qi country is not in the west of Taihang, but within the Xiao wall, please decide!" ”

Qi Hou Weiran sighed and said: "What the master said is reasonable, killing these three people is still breaking the three fingers of the Chen family, but these three people are brave and united, and the soldiers in the palace fight hard with them, I am afraid that they will not be defeated, and they will be assassinated secretly, and I am afraid that they will fail, but it will bring disaster to the widows......"

Qi Hou has murderous intentions but no guts, but for Yan Zi, this is enough.

A smile appeared on Yan Ying's wrinkled old face: "Although these three people are strong and aggressive. is not afraid of strong enemies, but only has the courage of a horseman. They don't pay attention to the etiquette of the elders. It seems to be intimate, but the words are not harmonious on weekdays. If the interests are uneven, there will be a big fight, and the king will be able to kill him if he sees a little trick from his ministers! ”

……

A moment later, a feast had already been set up on the high platform, and the slender and tall maids in the Qi court were singing and dancing, and the musicians were drumming and playing the sheng.

Tian Kaijiang, Gongsun Jie, and Gu Yezi are three. Thinking that they had done a miracle, so they could have this treatment, and they drank and had fun proudly, boasting to the Marquis of Qi about the past wars.

Turtle soup, Jiarou and other delicacies are placed in the ding and gui, and large pieces of beef and mutton are placed on the swords, cut into small pieces with a short sword, and dipped in the sauce on the plate.

"What is this?" Gu Yezi curiously picked up the plate with sauce, this material was smooth and qualitative, but it was an object that had never been seen before.

The erector who was waiting next to him replied, "This is a porcelain plate." It is from the Jin Kingdom, and it is extremely precious, so don't ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yezi broke the porcelain plate with two fingers. Crumpled it into pieces with their iron palms, and the three of them let out a burst of laughter.

They were quite rude, and Qi Hou saw it. I feel more and more that what Yan Ying said is true, if these three people are kept. Sooner or later, something will happen.

"Stand down."

At this moment, he saw Yan Ying, who was sitting in the upper seat, clapping his hands. Immediately the singing and dancing were gone, and the music stopped.

The three of them were on the rise, and they were suddenly a little unhappy, they were eight feet tall or nine feet tall, and they just stared at the old Yanzi, who was less than six feet, and the atmosphere was very tense for a while.

"What does Doctor Yan mean by this?"

"The three of them have made great contributions this time, in addition to the beautiful maid of the field house, the money and silk soldiers, and the king's special reward."

The three of them looked at each other, and there was greed in their eyes: "What reward?" ”

After Yan Zi got up, he summoned two vertical people holding porcelain beans and personally uncovered the silk cloth on it.

I saw that under the silk cloth, there were two delicate big peaches, and a burst of fragrance came to my nose.

"Aren't they just two peaches? Doctor Yan, is this playing tricks on us? Yurong Gongsun was the most anxious, and he was immediately furious.

"Presumptuous!" But it was Qi Hou on the main seat who spoke, and the three people who wanted to pull Yan Zi to ask for an explanation hurriedly took a step back, saying that they didn't dare, but their eyes were still staring at Yan Ying.

Yan Ying looked up to the sky and laughed: "The three of you are confused, this winter solstice has passed, and ordinary peaches are ripe later than summer and autumn, and they have long been rotten at this time, how can they still be eaten?" ”

The three of them looked at each other, thinking to themselves, the last time I ate peaches, but it was still in August, this cold day, winter snow is coming, where are there peaches to eat, could it be that this peach is not a vulgar thing?

Yan Ying pointed to the peach on the porcelain bean and said: "Yes, this thing is called winter peach, in the seventeenth year of Mu Tianzi, he drove eight horses to the west to patrol the world, to Kunlun Hill, to see the Queen Mother of the West, swam in Yaochi, and transplanted the winter peach tree." After returning to the dynasty, because of the meritorious work of King Xu Yan of Qi State, he gave this foreign object to Qi Yigong and planted it in the south of Jishui, next to the hot spring called "Baotu". ”

The three reckless men were flickered by Yan Ying's clever mouth, and they were stunned for a while, and the contemptuous eyes that looked at the two winter peaches suddenly became rare, and they just wanted to pick them up and nibble on them.

"This thing is rare in the world, it is big and fragrant, deep and bright, and the chew is soft and sweet. And the output in a year is very small, and the king can only eat one a year, and today he gives two pieces, do you still feel dissatisfied? ”

Yan Zi said, the three of them were already salivating, and they felt that it was really a great honor for Qi Hou to give this thing, and their heads were so high that they were about to go to heaven.

Tian Kaijiang, who is good at opening a bow, reacted first: "Master, now there are only two winter peaches, and we have three people, how can we divide them equally?" ”

Yan Zi waved his hand mysteriously and said: "The baby heard that if this thing is eaten whole, it will have the effect of prolonging life, and Mu Tianzi lived for nearly a hundred years back then." What's more, the eldest husband has made meritorious contributions but seeks consummation, how can there be a saying that half of the credit is given to others, why don't the three sons eat peaches without merit? Those who have great merit will get it, and those who have small merit can only watch from the sidelines......"

The eyes of the three of them changed suddenly, as Yan Zi said, they had no order of elder and younger, and the people around them changed from the Pao Ze brothers to competitors who grabbed merit.

Although Gongsun Jie was impatient, as a prince of Qi State, he had received some aristocratic education, and he actually saw the "deep meaning" of Yan Ying's move.

He suddenly realized: "Yan Zi is unparalleled in resourcefulness, and in front of the king, let the three of us count the merits and share the peaches, and the scholars are outnumbered." If you can't get a peach, it's because you have no courage and no merit. How can you still gain a foothold in the military? ”

So Gongsun took the lead and boasted: "I think back then, I used to hunt and kill wild birds in the dense forest. I also fought with tigers in the mountains, and offered my flesh and tiger skins to the king, and the trees of the dense forest and the sound of the wind in the mountains still remember my bravery. If Gongsun takes over the work, who can compare with me, I can eat peaches! ”

With that, he stepped forward generously and took a peach from the porcelain bean.

Next, it is Tian Kaijiang, who is good at opening bows.

He patted his chest and said: "Ten years ago, in the Battle of Cooking, Kaijiang led the troops to defeat the Lu ** team twice. I have also crusaded against Laiyi, and the capture is not counted, if the merit of opening up the territory, who can compare with me? I can eat peaches too! ”

Anyway, he also stepped forward to help Tao.

Gu Yezi was embarrassed to compete for the first place, so he politely said, but in the blink of an eye, the peach was gone, and anger suddenly burned his face.

He said angrily: "The second son has killed a tiger and broken an army. It's brave, but it's still not as good as me! Have you forgotten that a few months ago, I was a personal guard. Escort Jun Shang across the river to defend the country. On the way, a big turtle (yuan) suddenly appeared in the river, bit the horse standing on the side of the boat, and dragged it into the river. Everyone else was terrified. Only Yezi dares to jump into the water, I can't swim. But he stepped on the bottom of the river and sneaked a hundred steps against the current, and drifted nine miles downstream. Fight with the big turtle and kill it! ”

He became more and more excited, his movements were exaggerated, and his voice became louder and louder: "At that time, I was holding my left tail and my right head and leaping out of the river. Everyone thought that I was going to die, and when they saw me reappear, they all said that Hebo had a manifestation. If the merit of Yezi is comparable, who can compare? I can also eat peaches, if the second son understands that the merit is not as good as mine, please return the peaches! Otherwise......"

After that, he picked up the short sword used to cut meat next to the beans, looking like he was going to fight desperately for the peaches, and the blade of the sword flashed with a cold light!

This move shocked Qi Hou, the thing Gu Yezi said, of course he witnessed it with his own eyes, this person is extremely brave, if Gu Yezi goes berserk and kills people, I am afraid that dozens of armor soldiers on the entire high platform will not be able to stop it!

However, Yan Ying, who had retreated more than ten steps away, gestured to Qi Hou to reassure him, and stopped the soldiers from stepping forward to protect him, and then looked at the three soldiers who were facing each other in the field with interest.

After Gongsun Jiehetian Kaijiang heard Gu Yezi's roar, he couldn't help but be full of shame, and said: "On bravery, Gu Yezi has been fighting in the water for half a day, so it's better for us to wait; In terms of merit, Gu Yezi protects the safety of the monarch and recaptures the horses, and we are not as good as it. However, we snatched the peach first, leaving Gu Yezi, who was really successful, with nothing, and it was greedy. ”

After that, they stuffed the peach into Gu Yezi's hand.

Although they are puppets, one is a small sect of the Tian family, and the other is a branch of the office, all of them are very self-confident figures, and they value their own honor, which is more important than life.

After Tian Kaijiang and Gongsun glanced at each other, they said in unison: "Greed is not dead, there is no bravery!" A soldier can die, but he cannot be brave! ”

The two of them picked up the short sword that cut the flesh together, and killed themselves with the collar.

So, when the panting Chen Heng took the stage, he happened to see two streams of blood splashing out, and it instantly stained the platform of the road bed! And the two tall corpses also fell to the ground with a bang.

"Not good! My father didn't expect it badly, but I was a step too late. ”

At this time, the audience was silent, and Qi Hou's fingers trembled slightly, thinking that Yan Zi's plan was really effective; Yan Ying closed her eyes, not knowing whether she was mourning in silence or what she was thinking.

And Gu Yezi's eyes were round, and his eyes were about to protrude!

When he saw the two corpses on the ground, he was shocked, but he also began to regret it: "Our three scholars were originally friends, but for the sake of two peaches, they made such a fuss. The death of the second son, and the only birth of me, is unkind; I praise myself with words and humiliate my friends, for the sake of unrighteousness; To regret these actions of oneself, but not to dare to die together, is to be brave! If you are brave, you might as well die! ”

Therefore, he also had to follow the example of Tian Kaijiang and Gongsun Jie, planning to kill himself.

Yan Ying said in his heart, in this way, Chen's three fingers can be broken, and the weapon of danger can also be eliminated.

However, at this moment, Chen Heng, a young man who hurriedly ran over on the side, shouted loudly: "Wait! Gu Yezi is slow and self-cutting, I have a way, I can make you, and the dead second son, worthy of the name of a warrior! ”

Gu Yezi had already cut a blood mark on his neck, and when he heard this, the short sword in his hand suddenly stopped, his eyes opened, and he looked at Chen Heng in confusion.

"When people are dead, how can they speak bravely?"

Chen Heng, who was about the same age as Zhao Wuxian and had always been quick-witted, first saluted Qi Hou and Yan Ying, and then raised the slip from the Jin Kingdom in his hand.

"If Gu Yezi can kill this person, he will be able to make a great contribution to the Qi country, and he will be brave!" (To be continued......)
