"However, the set of things used by Zheng Zhuanggong was indeed passed down from Luoyi." Qi Tai said.

Wu Ye asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Qi Tai looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "This matter is a long story, and it has to start with the first time your father Wu Zhi came to Luoyi. ”

Wu Zhi has only been to Luoyi once in his life, but his time is more amazing than other people's ten or hundred times.

Waiyi chaos Zhou, Luoyi is in a hurry, the princes do not take care of themselves, only the remote Qin has a thousand horses, galloping thousands of miles to save the king, Waiyi is defeated in a battle, since then, the mighty cavalry is famous, becoming the first cavalry in the world, and the little-known Wu Ye has become the god of war of Qin.

Qi Tai patted his stomach and said, "It's very troublesome to remember things for too long, why don't you talk about it while eating?" He looked at Huang Cheng, who had been silently cooking beef leg next to him.

Huang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Misfortune comes from the mouth, you should be careful that the misfortune also comes from the mouth." ”

Qi Tai smiled: "No, no, with you by your side, what to say and what not to say, you know much better than me." ”

Huang Cheng glanced at Wu Ye and said to Qi Tai: "What his father didn't tell him, what are you bothering about?" ”

Qi Tai smiled curtly: "I just think this kid is more pleasing to the eye, and I said a few more words, isn't your old boy too, if it weren't for his pleasing eyes, would you take him in to live in Honglu Temple?" ”

Huang Cheng said: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, who knows what this kid thinks in his heart?" ”

Wu Ye shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't say it, don't say it if you leave your stomach to suffocate." ”

Qi Tai and Huang Cheng glanced at each other, and laughed: "This is a bit like his Lao Tzu." ”

Qi Tai took the beef cut by Huang Cheng, took a bite gently, held it in his mouth, the aftertaste was endless, closed his eyes and reveled: "Luoyi back then was not as desolate as it is now, well, the things that remain unchanged in Luoyi today are only Lao Huang's craftsmanship, which suddenly reminds me of the feeling of the past, but it is not enough, Lao Huang, cut two more pieces." ”

Huang Cheng blew his beard, rolled his eyes and said, "Let's talk about things first!" ”

Qi Tai swept away the beef on the plate, and said unsatisfactorily: "Back then, when the foreign Yi was in turmoil, all the princes of all countries did not move, only your father Wu Zhi came to Luoyi to save the king on the order of the King of Qin, this feat has long been spread all over the mainland, but not many people know the story behind it." ”

Wu Ye handed the beef in his hand to Qi Tai, Qi Tai smiled with satisfaction, and said: "The people of the world think that the barbarians who plagued the Zhou Chamber back then came from the reckless mountains in the territory of Chu State, so not only Qin, Jin, Qi and other countries did not know the news, but even the Chu State itself did not know the movement of the barbarians, in fact, the route of the barbarians attacking the Central Plains was not as simple and difficult as they imagined. ”

Wu Ye asked, "Is there any other route?" ”

Qi Tai shook his head and said, "These barbarians did enter from the Chu State, but they may not necessarily have to climb over the reckless mountains of the Chu State."

Wu Ye immediately understood what Qi Tai meant, if there was Zheng Zhuanggong's device, these barbarians could directly appear at the junction of Chu and Zhou, and suddenly enter the territory of Zhou, and there was no time to prevent it. Qi Tai's words also confirmed this shocking fact.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Ye said, "Did this device flow into the Qin State?" ”

Qi Tai nodded.

Wu Ye thought of the strange gate in the dark clouds that covered the sky that day.

Qi Tai took another bite of the beef in his mouth, the oil juice flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he almost burst into tears with happiness, he really hadn't eaten Lao Huang's craftsmanship for a long time.

Wu Ye then asked one last question, and when he said these five words, Qi Tai, who was feasting on it, suddenly stopped moving, he glanced at Huang Cheng next to him, Huang Cheng coughed, took off the whole beef leg, carefully cut it into three plates, and said, "The beef is ready, eat it." ”

Qi Tai nodded seriously and said, "Well, well, eat beef." ”

Wu Ye finally knew that this last question was the real taboo, he didn't have the habit of forcing others, if others didn't say it, it could only mean that he didn't trust you very much, when everything you did could express enough sincerity, others would always reveal their sincerity to you.

The three of them stopped talking and concentrated on dealing with the tender beef roasted by Huang Cheng's exquisite craftsmanship.

In the middle of the night, Qi Tai patted his round stomach and left Honglu Temple satisfied. Huang Cheng also hid in the room to rest, leaving Wu Ye to clean up the mess.

After packing up everything, Wu Ye returned to the room, lay on the bed and said to himself, "What is Jiuding?" ”

No one gave him an answer.

In his sleep, Wu Ye was awakened by a cold breath again, he opened his eyes, and the young King Zhou appeared in front of his bed, at this time, the King of Zhou had neither the decadence of a plaything, nor the resentment of suppressing pessimism.

This King of Zhou, who appeared in his sleep, was calm, calm, and at the same time mysterious.

Wu Ye didn't know if he was waking up or in his sleep, he moved his body, it didn't seem to be as numb and heavy as last night, he pinched his arm, there was pain, but this evidence was not enough to show whether it was real or illusory.

King Zhou said: "I'll send you home, okay?" ”

Wu Ye was puzzled: "Which home to go back to?" ”

King Zhou said: "Your real home is not in Luoyi, nor in Qin, the home far away from time." ”

Wu Ye said, "I don't understand what you mean? ”

King Zhou leaned his face close to Wu Ye and said softly, "Your clansmen are wandering in this world, don't you want to take them back to their homeland?" ”

The skin on Wu Ye's face felt the coolness coming from this mysterious King Zhou, whether this King Zhou was illusory or real. King Zhou got closer and closer, Wu Ye only felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and even his teeth were biting together and gurgling because of the cold.

"My people, where are they?" Wu Ye asked confusedly.

King Zhou's body blended with Wu Ye, and an ethereal voice sounded: "When you light the flame of return, your people will come from all directions, and they will crowd you on a high place, and after the light of time and space is sprinkled, you will embark on your way home." ”

After King Zhou's body completely integrated and disappeared, Wu Ye shivered, and woke up from his sleep, wet and cold, everything just now was extremely real, but it was hard to believe.

Wu Ye got up and came to the desk to sit quietly, the moonlight shining through the window, there was a feeling of desolation and loneliness. Wu Ye didn't move, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't open his eyes until the moon was on the top, Wu Ye thought a lot about the time he was meditating just now, but the picture that appeared the most was what he saw when he went to find Lu Yu with Wu Yong, passing by the homeless camp.

Clansmen, outcasts!

Wu Ye didn't know if what he did in Zheng Guo was right or not, and he didn't want to use justice to judge the good or bad of a thing, because justice itself cannot guarantee fairness. It's just that what you are doing so far comes from the heart and is true to your heart, and maybe that's enough.
