Qingji led the people back to Qicheng, and when they passed through the bazaar, Qingji reined in his horse and called loudly: "Yingtao." ”

"Inferior!" Ying Tao hurried a few steps and ran to his horse.

Qingji leaned down and asked with concern, "How is the injury on the neck?" ”

Ying Tao touched his neck and grinned: "Originally, it was just a layer of oily skin, and I applied medicine in time, so it's okay." ”

Qingji nodded and said: "It's better to be careful, if it's suppuration, then it's going to be slow, I still have a big deal to use you." After a big battle today, you must have broken your skin again, so you should go to the doctor and apply the medicine again. Also, you are a local, and the traders in the bazaar should be familiar with it, so bring a few more people and buy two fat pigs, tonight...... Everyone is allowed to drink alcohol. ”

Ying Tao was overjoyed when he heard this, turned around and jumped on the roadside boulder, and shouted: "Everyone, listen, the Lord ordered me to buy two fat pigs, which one has the strength to report the name quickly, the strength is great, the pig brought back is fat enough, and everyone can eat a few more mouthfuls of fat meat, haha!" ”

As soon as the soldiers heard this, their spirits were greatly lifted, and immediately some powerful men shouted loudly: "I will go, I will go, I have the greatest strength." ”

These soldiers are not divided into the left army and the right army, or the new army recruited by Yingtao, laughing and scolding each other, and selecting eight big men to go with Yingtao. Qingji nodded secretly, people like Yingtao are very easy to get along with others, and their subordinates have fewer mountain factions, and everyone gets along well, which is the best.

When Qingji took the people and horses to Chengfu, he saw that the side door was open, and a horse cart was driven out of it, and there was another ox cart behind it, followed by some men who were walking with burdens, Qingji reined in the reins of the horses and watched, the car drove all the way, it was actually the car of Dr. Zhan, and in addition to a few servants of Dr. Zhan, it was the disciple of Confucius such as Zilu.

Qingji asked curiously, "Are there Doctor Zhan and Master Confucius in the car?" ”

The sedan curtain was opened, and there were two people sitting inside, it was Kong Qiu and Zhan Shu. As soon as he saw the two of them, Qingji immediately jumped off the horse and strode up to meet them, and said with a smile: "Doctor Zhan, Master Confucius, I don't know where the two of you are going." ”

Kong Qiu and Doctor Zhan hurriedly got out of the car, Kong Qiu stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "Qingji Gongzi, you are back, Kong Mou wanted to wait for you at the intersection ahead." Childe, Kong Qiu is going back to his hometown, and now he bids farewell to Childe. ”

Qingji hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it and said, "Why is Master Confucius in such a hurry, it's getting late......"

Kong Qiu smiled faintly and said: "It's a joke for the son, the closer Kong Qiu is to his hometown, the more eager he is to return home, and he misses his relatives at home, and he doesn't want to wait for a moment." ”

Zhan Shu glanced at Qing Ji on the side, Qing Ji saw it, so he didn't ask any more, and Zhan Shu said with a haha: "Childe came back just right, and please go back to the house first, Zhan will send Zhong Ni back for a ride." ”

Qingji hurriedly said: "Since Master Confucius is going to return to his hometown, Qingji is not busy returning home, so he should send Master Confucius out of the city with the doctor." ”

Kong Qiu hurriedly waved his hand and refused, and Zhan Yu also said: "Childe doesn't have to be polite, besides, there are guests in the house who come to visit, and I have been waiting for Childe for a long time." ”

He said while holding Qingji's hand, pinching his hand in his sleeve, Qingji understood, followed him away, and said in a low voice: "Yanghu has arrived in Qicheng and is waiting in the front hall of Chengfu, Gongzi, please come back, and Zhan Shu will come when he goes." ”

Qingji was stunned, Zhan Yu had already retreated, and said with a smile: "Childe, please go back, I will go with Zhongni." ”

Qingji hurriedly gave up his hands and watched the two of them board the car and lead the disciples out of the street. No wonder Kong Qiu left in a hurry, he was ridiculed by Yang Hu back then, and since then it has been regarded as a great shame, and he is still haunted by it. More than ten years have passed, and the slave of the Ji family, who ridiculed him back then, has become a big man above 10,000 people in the Lu country, but he is like a lost dog, running around the world, but he has never been reused. Now that Yang Hu has arrived, of course he doesn't want to meet him.

Qingji turned around and walked to the door, while thinking, Yanghu is the first powerful minister under Ji Sun Yiru, the ruler of Lu State, Ji Sun Yiru's current power is like Lu Jun, this Yang Hu is equivalent to the prime minister of Lu State, a prime minister went to Qicheng to personally visit his own exiled prince of Wu State, so to speak, Ji Sun Yiru attaches great importance to his role. But...... How much can he help himself?

Qingji raised his head and looked at the vermilion lacquer gate, the powerful ministers of the Lu State had not seen him yet, and it was impossible to make any substantive decisions now, and everything still needed to be fought for by himself. This trip to Qufu, although there is no sword and sword, but the danger and the overall changes between the country and the field involved are far from being comparable to the two battles in Qicheng, compared with the two, it is thousands of times more difficult.

He straightened his chest, took a deep breath, and walked towards the gate of Chengfu with a steady and powerful step......

********************************************************

Yang Hu sat upright in the hall, holding the lamp in his hand, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.

There are two of his doormen sitting on the left and right, Qi Ying on the left and Zheng Pen, Qi Ying is talking to Yang Hu in a soft voice, the movement is like facing a sleeping baby, as if the voice is a little louder, it will wake him up: "My lord, Kong Qiu heard that the adult arrived, and fled in a hurry from the side door. ”

Yang Hu smiled slightly and did not speak. Zheng Pen smiled flatteringly: "My lord, Kong Qiu buried himself in scriptures and studied his knowledge, but he is a master who does not understand world affairs and current affairs. It's the Zhan doctor, he is under the ruling door of Ji Sun with the adult, and he didn't come to greet the adult, but sent Kong Qiu to the side, obviously not taking the adult in his eyes, and showing this person is too arrogant. ”

Yang Hu's face sank, and he lightly slapped the wine cup, and the two immediately stopped talking. Bai Ni and Wei Wei stood behind Yang Hu, and they didn't dare to breathe. They are house slaves, and Yang Hu is also a house slave, but this house slave is now the first retainer of the Ji family, and many major events even Ji Sun Yiru, the ruling of the Lu State, has to respect his opinion, in the Lu State, he can decide life and death with one word, even if Mrs. Cheng Bi sees him, she has to bow like a guest, how dare these ordinary maids treat him slowly.

"I heard that Lord Yanghu has arrived?"

A loud voice suddenly came from the courtyard, and Yang Hu's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and two essences flashed in his eyes. With the voice, Qingji was dressed in armor and rushed in like a whirlwind, and his young and handsome face was still covered with sweat.

His bright eyes looked at Yang Hu, smiled heartily, took off the heavy copper helmet and threw it into Bai Ni's arms, strode to the opposite side of Yang Hu, stood up straight, and laughed heartily: "This, is it Lord Yang Hu?" ”

As soon as he came in, Yang Hu looked at him attentively, the young man in front of him was heroic and radiant, even if he was covered in dust and his face was full of sweat, he couldn't hide his masculine and mighty taste, even if his movements were rude, but he made it, he also had the elegant temperament of a noble child.

He is like a tiger, even if the milk smell has not dried, even if the tiger's claws have not yet grown sharp, but the tiger is a tiger, no matter how young and cute he is, no one dares to treat a tiger as a cat.

A hint of appreciation flashed through Yang Hu's eyes, and his eyes brightened. Yang Hu put down the wine glass, smiled and stood up, the powerful body moved, as if a crouching tiger suddenly woke up, there was a very powerful taste.

When Yang Hu stood up, Qing Ji found that he was still taller than himself, with extremely large bones, thick eyebrows and broad eyes, and a curled beard, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Kong Qiu. Yang Hu dusted off the folds on his robe, smiled and said to Qingji: "This, naturally, is the son of Qingji, the first warrior of the Wu Kingdom who once captured the rhino with his bare hands, right?" ”;
