At the beginning of the night, Linzi City immediately changed to a night scene of Chinese lanterns, the flow of people on the bustling main street during the day was not less, some shops took advantage of the darkness to quietly replace a batch of private goods on the shelves that could not be on the table during the day, the boss sat in the depths of the counter, the light happened to only illuminate half of his face, and the expression in the shadows could not be pondered.

Some sellers looked left and right in front of the store, sneaking into the store like a thief while no one was paying attention, and then gently said the pre-set code to the shopkeeper in the shadows, the boss put down the gadgets in his hand as if nothing happened, nodded to the comer, and the two walked to the back hall together, and the young man in the store hurriedly walked to the front desk and gently closed the door of the store. Ordinary businessmen are like this, and wealthy families are no exception, an inconspicuous side door of Ji Yuanhou's Mansion secretly opened, and two ordinary carriages walked out in turn.

Ji Yuanhou looked at Wu Yong, who was not good-looking, and did not have the slightest displeasure at the disrespect expressed by Wu Yong on his face, after all, he almost killed Wu Ye in the sea, and it is understandable that his younger brother was upset for his brother.

Wu Yong and Wu Ye are completely two personalities, Wu Ye is more able to think about others, even if he will be treated unfairly, while Wu Yong only cares about the people he cares about, his world is much smaller than Wu Ye.

Wu Ye asked, "Master Hou wouldn't be taking us to see King Qi or Marquis Boyong, right?" ”

Ji Yuanhou asked with interest, "How did you guess?" ”

Wu Yong said coldly: "The more the carriage goes, the higher the terrain, the highest place in Linzi City is the palace, and the second highest place is the Marquis of Boyong's Mansion." ”

Ji Yuanhou said with a smile: "Wu Daoxuan said that when you were with him, you didn't say a word for three days, why did you talk a lot when you met your brother." ”

Wu Yong turned his head and ignored it.

Wu Ye smiled: "Don't be like a child. ”

Wu Yong shook his head and didn't admit it.

Ji Yuanhou said: "Although Qi and Qin have not fought head-on for many years, the mighty cavalry Wuzhi has always been a person that the old man admires very much, and the Qin State has always been famous for its infantry before the appearance of the mighty cavalry, invincible against the enemy, and lack of mobility, until your father Wuzhi led the mighty cavalry that surpassed the entire era to appear in front of the countries. When I was young, I had the privilege of seeing the majesty of the horse, and I felt that no army in the world could stop the horse's hooves. ”

Ji Yuanhou sighed, and said: "It's a pity that this army came and went in a hurry, like a meteor across the Central Plains Continent, after the incident, your father disappeared, and all the mighty cavalry also disappeared mysteriously. However, I believe they are all dormant, waiting for the day when the ice will break. ”

Wu Ye said: "Hou Ye is so looking forward to the reappearance of the mighty horse, isn't he afraid that one day his iron horse will step on the territory of the Qi Kingdom?" ”

Ji Yuanhou closed his eyes and said, "It is enough to meet an opponent like Wu Zhi in his life." ”

The carriage stopped at the Boyonghou Mansion, Ji Yuanhou and the others also entered through an inconspicuous side door, and the four of them were in a no-man's land in the Boyonghou Mansion, but the road was tortuous but they did not meet a person, and soon came to a room with lights on, only this room in this courtyard was lit, obviously waiting for them on purpose.

Ji Yuanhou pushed open the door, and the two people inside raised their heads at the same time.

The old man in the middle was wearing a bright yellow robe, with silver hair neatly tied into a bun on the top of his head, with a kind of majesty that was not angry and arrogant, and beside him stood a middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a tough breath, and they looked at Ji Yuanhou and others who entered the house at the same time.

Ji Yuanhou and his henchman Tian Lian naturally knew each other, and they were not the target they were waiting for late at night.

After Wu Ye and Wu Yong entered the room, they immediately felt the unusual aura in the room, and they invariably looked at the old man and the middle-aged man who had been waiting here for a long time.

Bo Yonghou looked at the Wu brothers, there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, and there was also a bit of care for the elders. And the middle-aged man's eyes are even more critical, he glanced back and forth between Wu Ye and Wu Yong, and after a comparison, his eyes fell on Wu Yong, obviously more satisfied with Wu Yong.

Without waiting for Ji Yuanhou's introduction, Wu Ye took the initiative to step forward and salute, and said respectfully: "The Wu brothers have seen Boyonghou. ”

Bo Yonghou glanced at Ji Yuanhou, Ji Yuanhou waved his hand and said: "I didn't reveal anything, the eldest brother is domineering, and these juniors will naturally guess your identity." ”

The middle-aged man spoke: "Then do you know who I am?" ”

Wu Ye said without humility or arrogance: "The Wu brothers have seen General Tian. ”

Tian Rong, the eldest son of the Marquis of Boyong and the general of the Qi State, asked, "Oh, am I also domineering?" ”

Wu Ye said: "General Tian has been fighting on the battlefield all the year round, and he has the air of a soldier and an iron horse, and he appeared in Tianfu late at night, so it is naturally not difficult to guess. ”

Ji Yuanhou said with a smile on the side: "I said earlier that you father and son still need to practice Qi cultivation kung fu, and they were seen through at a glance." ”

Bo Yonghou had long been accustomed to Ji Yuanhou's disrespectful style of acting for the elderly, looked at him and said, "I asked for something for you." ”

Ji Yuanhou's eyes lit up and asked, "Where is it?" ”

Tian Rong took out a bundled edict from his sleeve and handed it to Ji Yuanhou, who took it and threw it directly to Wu Ye, saying, "Boy, Ben Hou has repaid your kindness at sea this time." ”

Wu Ye didn't understand what it meant, and Ji Yuanhou said, "You can just open it and take a look." ”

Wu Ye opened the edict and found that it was actually an edict personally issued by the current emperor of the Zhou family, and the vermilion jade seal mud seal also proved Wu Ye's guess.

Wu Ye asked, "This is?"

Wu Yong glanced at the content of the edict and said calmly: "The Son of Heaven summoned the princes to quell the chaos, and the Marquis of Boyong wanted to give us a chance to establish military merits. ”

Wu Ye carefully read the edict, and finally understood the mystery, there is an extremely key sentence in the edict: make great contributions, you can be crowned marquis.

Feudal marquis?

After the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang Dynasty, nearly 20 dukes were awarded during the reign of King Wen, King Wu and King Cheng, and nearly 100 marquises, and after nearly 100 marquises, the edict of the feudal marquis was never issued.

The only explanation is that this edict is only given to one person, that person is Wu Ye, and the only role is to provide a very reasonable excuse for Wu Ye to be a marquis, although the monarchs of all countries have not taken Zhou Tianzi seriously in their hearts, but the superficial respect still has to be there, with this edict, Wu Ye is equivalent to having the guarantee of the royal family, as long as he makes military achievements to quell the chaos, he can get the marquis smoothly, why get the marquis? Wu Ye quickly thought of a two-year appointment with Old Man Bai. Marquis Ji Yuan wanted to find a suitable identity for Wu Ye, and it was obvious that the identity of the Marquis was enough to make the people of Baifu completely shut up. This is what politicians think, and it took Wu Ye's immature life experience to think about it for a while before he understood, and sure enough, politicians are animals with complex thoughts.
