Chapter 078 | The foolish monarch and the minister are obsessed and the son of a loser returns home

The two kings of Chu and Qi took the initiative to express their stance to attack Qin, which really surprised King Wei Hui. Tossing and turning like this, cutting Qin is the real chapter, and it is what King Wei Hui thinks.

In the evening, King Hui urgently summoned Pang Juan, Hui Shi, Gongziwei, and Zhu Wei, and his eyes lit up: "Ladies and gentlemen, after today, the widow and the Qi, Chu, and Han families have set a major event, and they have summoned all Aiqing to discuss how to implement it." ”

Everyone understood what the big event meant, and everyone was in high spirits, only Hui Shi habitually closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. Zhu Wei glanced at him and turned to King Hui.

King Hui's fat and sturdy body leaned back slightly, shaking off his mystery: "This big thing is to cut Qin!" Glancing at everyone, holding his breath, he exhaled violently, leaned forward, waved his fists, and his voice was excited, "Ladies and gentlemen, this day has been waiting for several years!" The widow knows, you have also waited for several years, and all the Wei people have been waiting for several years! We can't wait any longer, we can't afford to wait! ”

Pang Juan, Gongziwei, and Zhu Wei were all infected by his passion.

Gongzi replied loudly: "Please ask my father to issue an order to attack the tyrannical Qin, and the son is willing to take the lead!" ”

King Hui's eyes turned to Pang Juan: "Pang Aiqing, how to cut down Qin, the widow will depend on you!" ”

Pang Juan's voice was low, and the words were thousands: "The ministers are ready for everything, just wait for my king's decree!" ”

King Wei Hui's fingers habitually tapped a few cases: "This time to attack Qin, it is the joint dispatch of troops by the six countries, Aiqing must coordinate with many parties, attack in multiple ways, and set foot on Qinchuan!" ”

"Obey the order!"

King Hui turned to Zhu Wei: "Zhu Aiqing, the Six Kingdoms are attacking Qin, and the soldiers and horses are gathered, whether you can succeed depends on your grain and grass!" ”

"The king can rest assured," Zhu Wei replied, "The minister has already prepared enough grain and grass, just waiting to be recruited!" ”

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Aiqing will do this, and first transport the grain and grass to Anyi in batches. ”

"Obey the order!"

King Hui's eyes fell on Hui Shi, and he was happy: "Hui Aiqing, why are you dozing off again?" You can't just say nothing about such a big thing! ”

Hui Shi didn't seem to hear it, and was still snoozing.

Zhu Wei touched him with his elbow and said lightly: "Xiangguo, the king asked you!" ”

Hui Shi's eyes were still not open, half muttering to himself, half answering: "The king asked the wrong person." ”

King Hui's heart moved, and he leaned forward: "Hui Aiqing, what do you mean by this?" ”

Hui Shi opened his eyes slightly: "Internal affairs ask the internal minister, and foreign affairs ask the foreign minister." The conquest of the army is a foreign matter, and since the king has worshiped the foreign minister, he should ask the foreign minister. ”

"Hehehe, Aiqing is right!" King Hui laughed a few times and turned to Zhu Wei, "I heard that Su Zi is still in Mengjin, so Aiqing will summon him, so he will say that the widow is invited." ”

"Obey the order!"

Hui Shi's words linger in the aftertaste.

After leaving the gate, Zhu Wei caught up with him and asked in a low voice, "Xiangguo, you seem to have something to say." ”

Hui Shi glanced at him and walked forward.

Zhu Wei chased a few more steps: "Shouldn't Tyranny Qin be cut down?" ”

Hui Shi paused: "I have said what I need to say. Since the six countries have indulged in relatives, should the tyrannical Qin be killed, you should go and ask the six countries to be the prime minister, why do you always keep an eye on me? With that, he turned around and walked away.

With the strength and personality of Huishi, of course, it will not be out of jealousy. The more Zhu Wei thought about it, the more strange he felt, returned to the camp, prepared the carriage and horses, and went to invite Su Qin in person.

On the shore of Yunshui, Su Qin and Zhao Suhou sat quietly, staring at the float in the water. The float jumped from time to time, but no one hooked.

The minds of the two gentlemen and ministers are obviously not on the fishing hook.

There was an invitation next to Su Hou, which had just been sent by King Wei Hui.

Su Hou's gaze gradually fell on the invitation, he reached out to pick it up, his face was sad, he took a few breaths, and smiled bitterly: "Suzi, do you understand this?" ”

Su Qin's expression was solemn, and his gaze was still fixed on the float.

Su Hou shook the invitation a few times: "He just sent this thing this time to invite the widow to the banquet!" When he went to the Tiger Prison together a few days ago, why didn't he squeak? ”

"Your Majesty!" Su Qin shifted his gaze and turned to Su Hou.

"Suzi, you don't have to persuade you, the widow will leave tomorrow and go back to Handan! If he wants to drink, let them drink! If he wants to enjoy the tour, let them enjoy it! What indulgence? He didn't take the widow seriously at all! ”

"Ugh." Su Qin let out a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing?"

"If nothing is expected, the king of Wei invited the king to a banquet, not to drink, but to cut down Qin."

"Oh?" Su Hou was stunned.

"In recent days, the three families of Chu, Qi, and Wei have each sent large soldiers to sharpen their knives, obviously not only for the alliance. The intimacy of the relatives was aimed at abandoning Qin, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire and gave them a reason to send troops to the Qin State. ”

"Aiqing's meaning is that the Qin people shouldn't be killed?"

"It's not that it shouldn't be cut, it's that the time has not come."

"Please explain in detail."

"The Qin people already have four stops, and they are united and solid. Although the six countries are united, they have their own aspirations and are far from forming a joint force. Attacking the country of gold with a rabble, the ministers have no chance of winning. ”

Su Hou didn't think so, and snorted softly: "According to what Aiqing said, the Qin State is invincible?" ”

"Your Majesty," Su Qin replied in a deep voice, "When I was in the valley, the ministers often listened to Sun Bin talk about the art of war. Sun Bin said that Sun Wuzi's art of war is cloudy: 'A soldier who surrenders without a fight is also a good man.' Therefore, the army is attacked, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city. 'As soon as the six nations join together, they will attack and attack the city, and they will not use them but use them below, which should be exhaustive. Sun Wuzi's art of war is also cloudy: 'Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.' 'The new union of the six countries does not know neither oneself nor the other, and it should be brutal. The minister believes that if the Six Kingdoms are to attack Qin, if they do not fight, they will be done, and the victory or defeat will be decided. ”

Su Hou gasped and leaned over: "In Suzi's opinion, what should I do?" ”

"Stop the Qin and wait for time."

"How to stop it?"

"You can go to the banquet, act at the opportunity, and explain the benefits and disadvantages to the kings. With the prestige of the king, virtue and ability, or it may be possible. ”

Su Hou pondered for a long time, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "According to what Aiqing said, when he and a few of them go to the Tiger Prison, they must discuss the attack on Qin." They have long left the widow aside, what can the widow hope for? People don't pay attention to us, but we ourselves come up to make noise, how can a widow be virtuous? ”

Su Hou's words were impeccable.

Su Qin lowered his head and returned his gaze to the float.

At this moment, Lou slowly walked over, stepped forward and said: "Qi Jun, Zhu Wei, the secretary of Wei, asks to see!" ”

"Oh?" Su Hou was stunned, "What did he see about the widow?" ”

Lou slowly hesitated: "Echo Junshang, Zhu Shangqing said that there is something important to ask to see Su Zi." ”

Su Hou's face sank, he slowly got up, and said to Su Qin: "This person must have invited you here." You can tell Wei Fu, just say that the widow is sick and can't be accompanied, and you want him to do it himself! "Turning to the building again," Spread the message to General Feiyi, start driving tomorrow and return to Handan!" ”

On the way to Tiger Prison Pass, Zhu Wei and Su Qin took the same car. Zhu Wei briefly talked about the four gentlemen of Chu, Qi, Wei, and Han in the Tiger Prison Pass and set the matter of killing Qin.

Obviously, this was expected, Su Qin did not show the slightest surprise, and asked lightly: "What song are the four monarchs singing?" ”

"Song of the River Beam."

"Song of the River Beams?" Su Qin repeated, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Wei stared directly at Su Qin.

"If it's this song, don't cut down Qin!" Su Qin's tone was firm.

Zhu Wei was stunned and couldn't help but let out an "oh".

"Although this song is said to be a defeat against Qin, it is an unsuccessful conquest. It is unlucky for you to sing this song before you leave the school! ”

"Unsuccessful?" Zhu Wei scratched his scalp, "Why didn't you succeed?" Isn't there 'Chen Bing did not help Qin Shi to surrender'? The surrender of the Qin division means that the conquest has been successful. ”

"Brother Zhu doesn't know," Su Qin thought for a moment and explained, "This song is sung by the Yue people. At that time, the Yue people broke Wu, the momentum was great, the king of Yue made a northern expedition to the Central Plains, defeated Qi but Jin, wanted to dominate the world, and was afraid that the countries would not be satisfied, so in the name of respecting Zhou, he ordered Qi, Jin, Chu, and Qin to assist the Zhou room. Qin Ligong did not obey his orders, and the king of Yue was furious and ordered the world to cut him down. The three kingdoms of Qi, Jin, and Chu did not dare not raise troops, but they all watched from the wall. The king of Yue had no choice but to take the lead in waving his army westward to drive Wu and Yue's division west to cross the river to attack Qin. The Qin people were afraid, so they asked to surrender, and the Yue division retreated, and made this song to remember. ”

"It's a victory without a fight." Zhu Wei was still puzzled.

"It is true that the Yue people won without a fight," Su Qin further explained, "However, in the restoration of the war of the year, the Yue teachers attacked far away, did not accept the water and soil, the grain and grass were not continued, and the severe winter caused many people to die of illness and demoralization. Fortunately, the Qin division did not fight, and the Yue was able to retreat with the whole division. If the Qin people fight, the Yue division will be defeated. ”

"Why don't the Qin people fight?"

"One is that it is intimidated by the power of Goujian, and the other is that it is unprofitable to wage war with the Yue people. The Yue people are not for the soil, the second is not for wealth, and the third is not for people, but they are just trying to make a name. Even if they win, the Qin people will not get much benefit. Besides, the Yue people do not hesitate to die, they are all outlaws, and even if the Qin people are defeated, the sacrifice will be great. ”

"In that case, why don't the Qin people surrender as soon as possible?"

"The Qin people didn't believe that the Yue people would attack long distances, so they were reckless, and as a result, they annoyed Gou Jian. Seeing that the Yue people were really coming, the Qin people felt that it was not cost-effective to fight, and they were embarrassed not to fight. The Qin people's final submission was undoubtedly a compromise choice, but it was also wise. After crossing the river, the Yue people were not satisfied with the water and soil, and they were unable to fight again, and when they saw that the Qin people were soft, they hurriedly shook hands and made peace. Throughout this campaign, on the surface, it appeared that the Qin people surrendered, but in reality, it was the Yue people who were defeated. ”

"Why did the Yue people lose?"

"Empty consumption of grain and grass, attrition of men and horses, busy in vain and nothing gained, undefeated is also defeated."

"Su Zi is saying that this time against Qin, or will he repeat the mistakes of the past?"

Su Qin smiled bitterly: "How did you sing the last sentence of this song?" Sadness goes back to the river without beams! ”

"This..." Zhu Wei was quite skeptical, "Su Zi is not too worried." Now is not the same as in the past, in the past, the Yue people attacked far away, persecuted with force, and the countries dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so they naturally watched from the wall. Today, the six countries are indulging in relatives and sharing the same hatred, aside from Qi and Yan, the three families of Han, Zhao, and Chu all have enmity with the Qin people, so they must not cross the river without fighting, right? ”

"Maybe. However, in my opinion, today's Qin Gong is not the Qin Gong of the past, and today's Chu, Qi, and Han are not the Chu, Qi, and Jin of the past. If it is not expected, the king wants to do it, and the consequences will be difficult to remedy. Brother Zhu doesn't believe it, you can wait and see. ”

Su Qin, who had done something earth-shattering, actually looked at the Six Kingdoms Invasion of Qin like this, and then thought of Hui Shi's ambiguous attitude, Zhu Wei also realized the seriousness of the problem: "Su Zi, what should I do now?" ”

"Stop the Qin invasion in order to seize the opportunity."

"How to stop it?"

"Brother Zhu went to ask Hui Shi, and I went to ask to see Pang Juan, and the king may be able to listen to the two of them. This time, the king held the bull's ear, and the key to Qin was held in his hand. As long as he can understand the situation, the momentum of the Qin Dynasty can be relieved. The six countries are indulging in relatives, controlling Qin as the top and cutting Qin as the bottom. ”

"Listen to Suzi below!"

Due to the early return of Duke Yan and the arrival of Marquis Zhao Su, when King Wei Hui feasted guests, the original banquet of the five monarchs was only Qi, Chu, Wei, and Han. The day before, the Marquis of Zhao, who was unwilling to condescend to the people, did not return to Zheng, and announced to the world in the Chenggao Palace, calling the south lonely, and officially joining the king of Chu, Qi and Wei, therefore, this banquet can be called the grand meeting of the kings of the four kingdoms.

The four kings set a great policy to cut down Qin in the line of Wei, and jointly recommended Pang Juan as the chief general of Qin, and the main generals of the countries as his deputy. The next day, King Chu Wei and King Qi Wei both set off to return to the capital, and Han Zhaohou stayed in Chenggao for three days and returned to Zhengcheng.

When Su Qin and Zhu Wei arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, the banquet had already ended, and King Hui had also left the Tiger Prison Pass to inspect the three armies of the Great Wei Dynasty in Xingqiu on the north bank of the river, accompanied by Pang Juan. Hui Shi claimed that he was not familiar with military affairs, and went back to Daliang first.

After inspecting the three armies, King Hui walked into the big tent with Pang Juan. Pang Juan pointed to the precision sand table and explained in detail to King Hui the grand plan and specific deployment of the Qin, and King Hui was overjoyed when he heard it.

"Father, at the moment, the sons and daughters are all ready, and there is only one obstacle."

King Hui asked urgently: "What is the obstacle?" ”

"Su Qin!"

"Hey, the Six Nations are rioting, he should be happy, why should he become an obstacle?"

"Father," Pang Juan said, "the son knows Su Qin. This person can move his mouth, but he is not good at conquest. Not to mention, this person was born with a woman's soft intestines, and he can't be killed. Father has ever noticed that in the previous meeting, the nations performed songs and dances, and all the men on the stage were men and women weaving, fathers and sons were filial, and the world could be described as singing and dancing, and there was no trace of swords. The whole performance was planned by this person, which shows this person's mind. Looking at the compendium of indulgence, it is to control Qin, not to cut Qin. From this point of view, this attack on Qin is against this person's will, and this person will do his best to stop it. ”

"A scholar, how much can he make waves?"

"Father, this person is the co-minister of the six countries, and he is also long-term and famous. Zhao and Yan are also the initiators of the family, but this person is the first to look forward. If this person obstructs him, Yan and Zhao will not participate. There is discord within the six countries, and the army disperses before the battle, which is afraid of great disadvantage! ”

"Well, if that's the case, it's tricky. According to the opinion of the virtuous son-in-law, how to deal with it? ”

"The retainers have a plan, or they can support it."

"Son-in-law, please speak."

Pang Juan whispered for a while, and Hui Wangle said: "Hehehe, this matter is true, but God helps me!" ”

When Su Qin came to see him, King Hui had just returned from the barracks, and he had not taken off his military uniform, and he was very interested.

"Suzi is exempt." King Hui pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down, sit down, the widow has been waiting for you for two days!" ”

Su Qin sat down and arched his hand: "The minister is dealing with the aftermath in Mengjin, and after receiving the king's command, hurry up, it's still too late." Thinking of the king's summoning of the ministers, there must be urgent matters, and the ministers have not had time to bathe and change their clothes, that is, they will come to the audience, and I hope the king will forgive me for the abrupt place! ”

"Suzi doesn't have to be polite." King Hui pulled the topic to Zhao Suhou, half-smiling, "What about Zhao Hou?" Oh, it's the widow's mistake, this Chenguang should call him King Zhao. What about King Zhao, why didn't you see him coming? The six countries indulge in relatives, the whole world celebrates, the widow set up a thin banquet, intended to invite him to drink a few cups, the envoy invited him quickly, but he waited left and right, the chef warmed several wines, the king of Chu, the king of Qi, and the king of Han, hungry belly rumbling, waiting for two hours, has not seen his trace. ”

"Returning to the king," Su Qin heard the voice and rounded the field for Zhao Suhou, "Zhao Hou Long's body is not safe, and this time he is strong." As soon as Yan Gong left, Zhao Hou was about to leave, and the minister was worried that his body would become more and more unbearable, so he tried to force him to stay for two days and accompany him to relax by the Yunshui River. When he received the invitation from the king, the Marquis of Zhao had already set up camp and asked the ministers to confess to the king. ”

"What is he accusing?" King Hui held back his laughter and said sarcastically, "I'm afraid that the widow has a small face and shallow morality, so please don't move others." People are the initiators of the country, and this Chenguang is also respected, and the posture is great! ”

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that his anger increased for no reason, Su Qin was stunned.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." King Hui waved his hand, "Even if you leave, you have to leave a word." ”

"Leave a message?" Su Qin was stunned again.

King Hui simply said the reason in one breath: "Su Zi, you are the chief of the longitudinal appointment, you can talk about it, although the joint longitudinal is advocated by you, it was he Zhao Yu who initiated it first." Today, the world has succeeded in indulging in relatives, but this person has withdrawn from the battle, so how do the widows look at him? Even if the widow can think about it, how will the world see him? ”

Su Qin took a long breath and furrowed his brows: "Where do you start with this, the courtiers are stupid, please explain it in detail to the king." ”

"Su Zi, you have to force the widow to tell the truth!" King Hui shook his head, his huge body standing upright, "I heard that the Zhao army's main general Feiyi and the 30,000 columns have withdrawn. This person is not in good health, he can go back, is his 30,000 column army also sick? Since the column is combined, as soon as the column army leaves the country, it will return to the column. The widow is the leader of the alliance, when and how his army will withdraw, he should always say hello to the widow! Besides, none of the nations' columns has withdrawn, so why did he Zhao withdraw before fighting? ”

"The king has misunderstood," Su Qin smiled bitterly when he saw that he was almost unreasonable, "The minister will explain the reason." ”

"Say it!"

"Before the alliance, 30,000 of the Zhao State column army received the king's edict and settled in the Zhao realm, and only 3,000 guards followed the Zhao Hou Alliance. Today's alliance ended, one Zhao Hou Gui was not safe, and the other was that the prince was still young, Zhao Hou couldn't rest assured, and hurriedly returned to China, which was normal sense. Only 3,000 guards went back with Zhao Hou, and the three armies did not evacuate, and they still stayed in Tun to join the party. Besides, it was not the Zhao family who acted like this. The Korean column army was stationed in Yiyang, the Chu column army was stationed in Fangcheng, and the Qi column army was stationed in Weijing, and none of them participated in the meeting. Only the Yan State entered Wei, and so far it has been stationed in Shaoshui, which is also the will of the king. ”

"This..." King Hui said, blinking his eyelids a few times before he came up with a resignation, "Even so, he, Zhao Hou, should leave a message to indicate who will listen to the order." Now that the conquest is imminent, if the widow calls his column, who should he ask to give orders? ”

"The conquest is imminent?" Su Qin pretended not to know, and looked confused.

"That's right," King Wei Hui tapped a few cases with his knuckles and poked open the window, "the day before yesterday, the widow invited the three kings of Chu, Qi, and Han to a banquet at the Tiger Prison Pass. The widow hastily summoned you to take counsel on the matter. Since the beginning of Gongsun Ying, the Qin people have repeatedly failed to make promises, repeatedly committed injustice, first deceived the widow Hexi, and then seized the Chu State Shangyu, and sent troops to Jinyang of Zhao, and cut down Yiyang of Han, which disturbed the people of the world and the kings of the world. Now that he is indulgent, he should teach that hairy boy a lesson and let him learn some Central Plains etiquette. ”

"When does the king plan to cut down Qin?"

"Just around the corner!" King Hui replied in a deep voice, "Don't hide it from Suzi, the widow has already transferred three armies, coordinated the countries, planned an army of more than 400,000, and set foot in Qinchuan within three months!" ”

"Your Majesty," Su Qin arched his hand, "The minister thinks that although the tyrannical Qin said that it should be attacked, but now the time has not yet come." ”

"Huh?" King Hui looked straight over, "In Aiqing's opinion, when is the right time?" ”

"Your Majesty," Su Qin admonished, "the minister heard that those who are suitable for a hundred miles will have food; For those who are suitable for thousands of miles, gather grain in March. Fang Jin's Qin is already a country of four stops, there is a river in the east, the danger of Hangu and Wuguan, and it is impossible to cut it down in a hurry! ”

"Hahahaha," King Wei Hui laughed a few times, pointing at Su Qin, "You, you are a mouthful, if you talk about marching and arranging, conquering thieves and rebelling, you are a little inferior." Pang Aiqing said well, in the past, Wu Qi once swam in the river with the ancestors, and the ancestors sighed, beautiful, the mountains and rivers are solid. Wu Qi said to him, the solidity of mountains and rivers is not in danger in Germany. A few days ago, when I was in the Tiger Prison, the widows and the gentlemen remembered Shi Bo's words, and they all sighed. Shi Bo said: "Uncle Yu is in danger, and Yi Zhong is in danger. 'As a result, whether it is Yu, Yu, Zheng, the powerful, or the dangerous, which one has the tiger prison? Qin ruled the people with violence and deceived the world, he had already deviated from morality and apostasy, and the gods and men were angry, how could a few natural dangers help him? ”

"The King..."

"Needless to say!" King Hui interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Even though the covenant has been made by the kings, it is not for the few to decide. As for how to coordinate the nations, Su Zidang, in the name of the chief of the longitudinal covenant and the six countries, together with the deputy envoys of the countries, planned a feasible strategy and reported the widow! ”

"Minister..."

King Hui waved his hand again: "The rest of the matters will be discussed another day." "Turn to the neighbors," the neighbors, unload the armor for the widows. Alas, I'm really old, and I can't stand it after only wearing it for a few hours! ”

Coming out of King Hui's line, Su Qin was completely blinded.

Obviously, King Hui's ears and eyes are impaired, his mind is hot, he can't listen to ordinary advice, and he can't see the possible evil consequences of the Qin. Hui Shi is gone, and Pang Juan is the only one who can persuade King Hui to recover his reason, and Pang Juan's ambition in his life is only on the battlefield, he must have been looking forward to this battle for a long time, and letting him persuade King Hui is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

However, other than that, Su Qinzhen had nothing to do.

After thinking about it, Su Qin could only stubbornly ask to see Pang Juan.

galloped to the Wei army's big tent, and Pang Juan heard the news and greeted him.

As soon as he saw Su Qin, Pang Juan's eyes widened: "Hey, Brother Su, you didn't go back?" ”

"Go back?" Su Qin was stunned, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go home."

"Home?" Su Qin smiled bitterly, "This Chenguang, how can you still take care of your family!" ”

"Alas!" Pang Juan let out a long sigh, grabbed Su Qin's hand, and stepped into the tent.

The two sat down, Pang Juan still stared at Su Qin with a strange expression, and shook his head slowly.

Su Qin saw that he looked weird, and laughed: "Brother Pang, what's wrong with you, haven't you seen what is going on?" ”

Pang Juan also seemed to come to his senses, smiled bitterly, and shook his head again.

"Brother Pang?" Su Qin was inexplicable.

"People say that I, Pang Juan, am a tough guy, but now I see Brother Su, and Pang is dwarfed." Pang Juan sold Guanzi.

"Brother Pang, where did you start with this?"

"Although I have a big heart, I can't give up my small family. That year, his father was framed by the traitor Chen Zhen, and in order to save his father, he disregarded life and death several times. Later, my father died tragically at the hands of a traitor, and he was inseparable from the traitor. Although he had never stabbed Chen Zhen in Xia, he was also so frightened that he ran for his life in all directions, not daring to enter the Wei realm for half a step. As for his two eagle dogs, that is, Qi Guang and Ding San, who killed their father, none of them escaped, and they all sacrificed their father with blood. ”

Su Qin was still confused: "Brother Pang has something to say!" ”

"Brother Su is from Xuanli Village in East Zhou?" Pang Juan got to the point.

Su Qin nodded.

"Shibo, that is, Ling Zun, has he been lying on the couch for several years?"

Su Qin nodded.

"Xuanli is only a hundred miles away from Mengjin, and the fast horse is only half a day, these days, has Brother Su ever taken the time to visit Shibo?"

Su Qin shook his head.

"Shibo's recent situation, did Brother Su know about it?"

Su Qin shook his head.

"Alas!" Pang Juan sighed, "When I was in the valley, I listened to Brother Zhang talk about Brother Su's family affairs, and I sighed very much. This time, I remembered that it was at the door of Brother Su's house, and I wanted to visit Shibo in person, but I was busy with military affairs, so I had to send someone to it. Half an hour ago, the servant came back and said...

Su Qin's heart trembled, his face turned gray, he took a long breath, slowly spit it out, and stared at Pang Juan with his eyes: "How is my father?" ”

"Shi Bo Ta...

Su Qin's heart hung up, and he looked at Pang Juan without blinking.

"I didn't think about tea and dinner, I was in a coma for a few days, and I heard that it was just a few days, and the family was already taking care of the aftermath. I was in a hurry when I heard the news, and I was about to tell Brother Su that Brother Su was coming. ”

Su Qin closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and held back tears.

After a long time, Su Qin slowly opened his eyes, looked up at Pang Juan, and arched his hand: "Brother Pang is kind and kind, Su Qin has written it down!" ”

"Brother Su," Pang Juan returned the salute, "What are you talking about!" Without further ado, in the next place, people will summon military doctors, go with Brother Su, one to visit Shibo, and the other is that Brother Su can be regarded as returning to his hometown, taking advantage of this opportunity, setting up a temple and setting up a temple, and magnifying the ancestors! ”

Su Qin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Brother Su won't come back?" Pang Juan was surprised, "I don't care about anything, this is also with you!" ”

"Brother Pang, let me ask you, is it a family affair or a state affair?" Su Qin stared at Pang Juan.

"It's a big deal."

"Is it a big national affair or a big world affair?"

"There's a lot going on in the world."

"What is the big deal with today?"

"The nations indulge in kinship."

"Alas," Su Qin sighed, "The nations have just indulged in their relatives, and they are about to be destroyed again, how can you take care of your father?" ”

"Destroyed?" Pang Juan was taken aback, "Where do you start with this?" ”

"In the next edict to meet the king of Wei, the king ordered to coordinate the countries below and jointly attack the tyrannical Qin."

"Var Qin?" Pang Juan pretended not to know, "Hey, why don't you know about such a big thing?" ”

Pang Juan was obviously deliberately prevaricating.

Su Qin's heart was slightly cold, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Under the persuasion, the King of Wei did not listen, but only said that this matter had been agreed with the three kings of Chu, Qi, and Han, and it could not be changed. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the situation was urgent, and there was no other way, so I came here to ask Brother Pang for help. Brother Pang, at present, there is no one who can persuade King Wei and save the great cause of indulgence of his relatives than Brother Pang! ”

"May I ask Brother Su, even if it is against Qin, is there anything wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with cutting down Qin, but now is not the right time."

"Please explain in detail Brother Su."

"When I was in the valley, my husband once said that if you want to achieve great things, you must have the harmony of heaven, earth and man. At the beginning of the indulgence, the qi of the six countries began to pass, and the qi of the Qin people was solidified, and I did not occupy the time; Qin is a country of four stops, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I don't take advantage; Although the six countries are longitudinal, their internal strife has not been eliminated, their prejudices are different, their military strength is uneven, their generals are suspicious of each other, coordination is difficult, and their military horses are intricate, and they are really a rabble. With a rabble, defend the enemy who is dangerous, if you do it in a hurry, what is the chance of victory? ”

In fact, what Su Qin said was only external, and the internal reasons why Chu and Qi Erjun tried their best to instigate King Wei to attack Qin, he just had a hunch, and he couldn't say it, especially to Pang Juan. If his inference is made in the first place, it will undoubtedly add suspicion among the nations, and it is very likely that it will lead to the disharmony of the relatives and the country, and all the previous efforts will be in vain.

These reasons naturally couldn't convince Pang Juan, but he didn't break it, and replied casually: "Brother Su sees it high and admires it." I really don't know about the Qin war. But if it is true, and if our king has agreed with the nations, it will be difficult. It's just Wei Chen, even if you convince my king, you can't convince the kings of all countries. ”

"Brother Pang only needs to convince King Wei, and the other monarchs will work hard."

"Okay, in the future, I will follow Brother Su to advise the king."

Rushed to King Hui's line, it was already dark.

Seeing that it was the two of them, King Hui had already understood, but he pretended to be surprised on his face: "Hey, the widow is about to summon the two, but before the decree is delivered, the two of them are here!" ”

"Hehehe," Pang Juan pointed at Su Qin and took over the conversation, "The king's thoughts, Su Zi has already thought about it." Fang Caichen was informing Su Zi of an urgent matter, but before he could finish speaking, Su Zi abruptly interrupted the minister, saying that it was the king's summons and urged the minister to come quickly. The minister didn't believe it, saying that the king had a summons, so why didn't he say it? Su Zi said that the king did not summon him, but he was summoned by this Chenguang. The minister was shocked and asked, how did Brother Su know about the king's summons? Su Zi said that when he was in the valley, Mr. De taught the art of Tongxin in order to know. If you don't believe, you will know when you go. The ministers will be suspicious, come with him, and the king will really summon him! ”

"Oh?" King Hui turned to look at Su Qin, "Chun Yuzi came to visit before, and everything he thought in his heart was in his words. The widow repeatedly asked him how he knew, but he only laughed and didn't say anything, and sold the guanzi to the widow. After Chun Yuzi left, the widow was puzzled, Pang Aiqing didn't say it, the widow didn't know that this was a psychic technique! ”

Su Qin arched his hand and responded: "The art of Tongxin is seen in those who have attained the Tao, and the ministers dare not expect it." It was General Pang who made fun of his ministers, and the king should not be taken seriously. ”

"Hehehehe," King Wei Hui sighed, "It's good if you don't have it." If that's the case, the widow doesn't dare to think about anything! ”

Everyone laughed.

"Pang Aiqing," King Wei Hui turned to Pang Juan, "just now you said, you have something urgent to inform Su Zi, what is the urgency, can you let the widow listen?" ”

"Echo to the king," Pang Juan smiled, his face gloomy, "Brother Su's family lives in Luoyang, and this time the alliance has not entered because of busy affairs. Thinking of this, the minister thought about Brother Su's family, so he asked his subordinates to visit, and unexpectedly learned that Brother Su's father, that is, the minister's uncle, he...

"What's wrong with him?" King Hui leaned over and asked.

"I heard from the next person, for several years, Shibo has been sick in bed, and his condition has worsened sharply in recent days. Pang Juan rubbed his eyes with his sleeve.

"Oh, that's right!" King Wei Hui muttered to himself, shook his head a little exaggeratedly, and sighed, "Alas, it's all the blame for the widow, these days I only care about the world's major affairs, and I haven't even asked about the family affairs of the longitudinal chief, this... ”

Seeing the two monarchs and ministers acting like this, Su Qin's heart was cold, he sighed lightly, and lowered his head.

King Wei Hui heard it sincerely, and turned his head to look at him: "Su Aiqing." ”

Su Qin raised his head: "The minister is here." ”

"Ling Zun has been sick for a long time, but Aiqing has been at home but can't fulfill his filial piety, and he is a widow. Zhong Ni said: 'The nature of heaven and earth, only man is precious. The journey of a person is greater than filial piety. 'The business at hand, everything is small, but the noble body is great. Aiqing quickly went to prepare, set off tomorrow, and returned to his hometown! ”

"Wangshang..." Su Qin's heart trembled, he knelt on the ground and begged, just opened his mouth, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Gongzi broke in in a hurry.

Because he was dressed in a military uniform, Gongzi Wei knelt on one knee as a military officer, and said loudly: "Qi Gong Father, son Wei Wei beg for war!" ”

Several people were stunned, and Su Qin had no choice but to swallow back the words that were squeezed to his lips.

"Seeking war?" King Wei Hui stared at him, "What are you asking for?" ”

"Var Qin! Erchen is willing to be a pawn before the horse, lead the brave soldiers, attack the first battle, and swear to take Hexi! ”

King Wei Hui looked at Pang Juan for a while, looked at Su Qin for a while, and looked at Gongzi Wei for a while, and burst out with a long laugh: "Hahahaha..."

"Father?" Childe was stunned by his laughter.

"Wei'er!" King Wei Hui stopped laughing and shook his head, "You're just in time!" Don't you want to take the lead? The widow will fulfill you! ”

"Thank you, Father!"

"Wei Wei obeys the order!"

"Erchen is here!"

"Tomorrow morning, the six countries will return to their hometown and province to fulfill their filial piety for their father. The widow named you as the provincial envoy, escorted Su Xiangguo to Luoyang Province, and brought the widow's imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Mr. Su's stubborn disease, there must be no mistake! ”

King Wei Hui suddenly descended this decree, which was much more than Gongzi expected. After being stunned for a while, Gongzi Wei reacted and said with red eyes: "Father? ”

"Also," King Hui waved his hand to stop him, "Su Zi is a subject of the Zhou family, and you are the co-minister of the Six Kingdoms, so this time it can be regarded as a return to his hometown." The original indulgence of the family horses, except for a few sons who were busy with the longitudinal division, the rest of the people, one is indispensable, for Su Zi and the countries to grow face, don't let the Zhou people look down! You also have to prepare more gold, choose a good feng shui treasure land, set up a ancestral hall for Suzi, and build a family temple. Suzi advocates cooperation and longitudinal for the benefit of the world, and Sumen should carry it forward! ”

"Father?" Childe knelt on his knees and knocked loudly.

"You dare to disobey?" King Wei Hui suddenly changed his voice, and his face rose.

The son wept and kowtowed: "Son, the minister... ”

Su Qin was the first to walk out of King Hui's line, his pace was extremely slow, and his stride was extremely small, as if he was dragging two stones on his heels.

Then came out of Gongzi, looking even more depressed. Listening to the footsteps of Su Qin in the dark night, an indescribable taste welled up in Gongzi's heart, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and slowly walked to his camp.

After walking a few steps, the more Gongzi thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and turned back and stood outside the gate like a spear.

After waiting for another half an hour, Pang Juan strode out of the account.

"Brother Wei?" Seeing that it was him, Pang Juan was taken aback, "Why are you standing here?" ”

Gongzi bowed his hand: "Waiting for the general!" ”

"Oh?"

"General," Childe bit his lip for a moment, "the last general, please ask for something!" ”

Pang Juan was stunned and laughed: "What will not be the last general?" Brother Wei has words, and he commands! ”

"General, the last general..." Gongzi's voice choked, "The last general has loved battle formations since he was a child, he has read a few military books, practiced a few guns and sticks, he is pretentious, there is no one in his eyes, he relies on his father and the king for a lifetime, and under the bewitchment of the traitor Chen Zhen, he has done many stupid things, especially the loss of Hexi. The general didn't know, that Chenguang, the last general, didn't want to live, it was the traitor who didn't let the last general die, and the last general... Later, the Qi people attacked me, and the last general wanted to cheer up, but his skills were not good, and he was defeated in even the battle, and he was scolded by the people as an embroidered pillow, and the three armies were not convinced, and their morale was low. The last general still didn't know how to lead the troops until he met the general. Later, from Su Zihe, the end will be more intellectually shallow. Today, the nations are indulging in Qin, a God-given opportunity, the last general, the general, the last general is mixed up to such a point, and the merit is useless. The last general just wanted to carry a spear, cross the river beam, rush to the west of the river, fight to the death with the Qin people, and donate money for the west of the river.

"Brother Wei!" Pang Juan was greatly moved, and held Gongzi's hand tightly.

"In order to give an explanation to the tens of thousands of heroic souls in Hexi, I beg the general to fulfill it! One does not fight for the vanguard, the second does not fight for the deputy general, the third does not fight for fame, and he only asks for one thing, as a member of the Great Wei Warriors, he is the first to cross...

Pang Juan was full of emotion, and held Gongzi's hand tighter: "Brother Juan's heart, Brother Juan knows!" Alas, don't hide it from Brother Juan, in the past few years, the reason why Brother Juan valued Brother Juan was because Brother Juan was Brother Juan's inner brother and brother. From the beginning of today, Brother Wei is no longer a relative in Brother Juan's heart, no longer a brother Wei, but a Great Wei general! ”

"Thank you, General!" Childe withdrew his hand, "The surface is fancy, but the actual surface is superficial, and he is a rough man." Now I want to fight, I hope that my father can fulfill it, and I don't want my father to be him..."

"Brother Wei, please listen to Brother Juan!"

"General, please."

"Does Brother Wei want to sacrifice his life in Hexi like those tens of thousands of soldiers just by virtue of his momentary prosperity, or do he want to really defeat the Qin people, recapture Hexi, step on Qinchuan, and avenge those soldiers who died?"

"Needless to say, there is only one thought: the horse steps on Qinchuan and avenges the dead soldiers!"

"If this is the case, Brother Wei should follow his father's decree and accompany Su Zi to save his relatives!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Six Kingdoms attacked Qin, and only Su Zi disagreed. At present, Su Zi is the co-minister of the six countries, Yan and Zhao Erjun all listen to him, and the monarchs of all countries also buy his face. If this man refuses to conquer, how can we succeed? It just so happened that Uncle Su was sick and his life was dying, and his father had an idea, ordering him to fulfill his filial piety and return to his hometown in order to return to his hometown, but in fact, he was moving the tiger away from the mountain, so as not to get in the way of him and hinder major affairs. The father asked Brother Wei to accompany Su Zi, which can be said to be a good person. A brother is elegant; The second brother has been working with Su Zi for many years and is familiar with his routines; The third brother is a noble brother, once there is an arrangement, even if Su Zi is displeased, it is not easy to push back. ”

"This..."

"Right now, everything is ready, how to hold Su Zi back is really a top priority. How many days can Brother Wei drag on, and how long can it be delayed. If Brother Wei succeeds, the war against Qin is half the success. It's not Pang Juantuo, if there are no worries, even if I can't step on Qinchuan and take back Hexi, not to mention that today's six countries are indulging in relatives, hundreds of thousands of troops are pressing the border, even if the Qin people are protected by gods and demons, this time it will be difficult to escape! ”

Gongzi thought for a long time, nodded and agreed: "That being said, the last general will accompany Su Zi to save his relatives, and call him beautiful scenery, and he has no time to take care of him!" ”

"Brother Wei, just go. As for Brother Wei's wish, it is nothing more than to bear the brunt of the river and cross the river to avenge the martyrdom of Hexi, and Brother Juan has his own arrangements. As Su Qin said, the war against Qin is a big deal, and it can't be rushed. When Brother Juan is ready and the three armies are marching, Brother Juan will definitely invite Brother Wei back to worship Brother Wei as the pioneer of crossing the river, and fulfill his long-cherished wish, and be ashamed of my Great Wei and Snow Hexi! ”

Gongzi was grateful, his eyes lit up, and he clenched Pang Juan's hand: "The last general is grateful!" ”

It was late at night.

It was a dark moon, and Xuanli Village was gloomy, with only a few rays of light appearing in the courtyard of the Su family.

Lights shine out from the main hall.

In the hall, Su Li and Su Dai sat in one seat, and the three concubines sat in the other seat, no one spoke, and their expressions were all serious. The babies weren't there, apparently asleep.

After sitting for a while, Su Li raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Looking at this, Ah Da is afraid that he won't be able to hold on." ”

Xiao Xi'er sobbed.

When the two concubines heard this, they also whimpered and covered their mouths and wiped their tears. Xu was worried about waking up the babies, but the three women didn't make a sound, just choked.

"What are you crying about?" Su Dai slanted his gaze to his wife and scolded, "Ah Da hasn't breathed yet!" ”

The three women stopped crying.

"The second brother is not at home," Su Li said slowly, "There are a few of us in charge of the family." As an elder brother, let me start with a few words. Last year's rain was not good, the harvest was poor, and the days were tighter than usual. Regardless of what you say, we can't be wronged. Ah Da has worked hard all his life, I won't say anything superfluous, just say a little, Ah Da has to be like a person to talk about the future. I have roughly calculated, if you put a cypress coffin, invite a music class, plus old clothes, dark weapons, etc., to say the least, you will get five taels of gold. I'm a brother, three golds! Turning to his wife, he snorted, "Shun'er,, do you fancy it?" ”

"I don't even have a few copper plates at home, where can I steal three gold?" Su Li's wife glanced at him, and her voice suddenly became rough.

Su Li's expression was embarrassed and he buried his head.

"Do you want to learn from the second brother and sell the land? How did Ah Da get this disease, you want Ah Da to be blind, don't you? "Su Li's wife is unrelenting.

Su Li's head was buried even lower.

The scene was awkward.

After a long time, seeing that Su Dai didn't speak for a long time, Su Dai's wife was anxious and stared at him: "He's big, why don't you speak?" Ah Da, we can't let the eldest brother take a big head! ”

Su Dai was about to speak, but Xiao Xi'er got up silently and walked out of the hall without a sound.

Looking at her back, Su Dai's face turned red, and his voice almost murmured: "The eldest brother is right, the second brother is not at home, so he can't make his account." Ah Da's future affairs, I can't let you pay more. No matter how much you spend, we brothers will share it equally! ”

"What's wrong with this, I..." Su Li glanced at his wife and held back the words behind him.

was in the cold field, Xiao Xi'er walked in, carried a heavy jar, knelt down on the table, and said slowly: "Big brother, sister-in-law, third brother, sister-in-law, I don't have much money, so I saved this little, it's all in the jar, you count, no matter how much, it's all for Ah Da!" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

Su Li's wife was energetic, pulled the jar, took a look, stretched out her hand, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, where did my sister get more copper coins?" Come, sister-in-law count! ”

Su Li's wife poured the jar to the ground with a whirl, and it turned out to be a large pile, in addition to more than 200 cloth coins, and a few golden beans the size of jujubes rolled out.

All the eyes straightened.

This money, to say the least, is worth five taels of gold!

Su Li's wife came to her senses and turned to Xiao Xi'er: "Sister, how did you... ”

Xiao Xi'er gave her a faint smile: "Sell some cloth and save some, and leave some for me when my big one dies." Sister-in-law, that's all I can do, it's more or less, brother, sister-in-law, brother, sister, you make up for it. ”

"What's going on?" Su Li was anxious, "Second sister, this is all used, how are you doing?" ”

"Brother Xie cares," Xiao Xi'er smiled bitterly, "Sister has one mouth, two hands, no matter what she does, it's all a mistake." ”

The next morning, when the sun rose, Su Hu suddenly woke up, opened his mouth, and kept smacking his lips.

Su Yao, who was guarding the couch, heard the smacking sound, handed over the water bowl, and fed him a few mouthfuls.

Su Hu muttered two words with difficulty: "Qin Er..."

Su Yao hurriedly ran outside and shouted: "Li'er, Dai'er, hurry, come on, you Ah Da wake up!" ”

When the adults and children heard the shouting, they all ran in and knelt in front of the couch.

Su Hu opened his eyes, and there were still two words coming out of his mouth, repeating constantly: "Qin'er, Qin'er..."

Su Li glanced at Su Dai and didn't know how to answer.

Su Dai rolled his eyes and knelt down in front of the couch: "Ah Da, the second brother is coming back." My second brother became a big official outside, and this Chenguang was rushing to Luoyang, saying that he wanted to come back to see you! ”

Su Hu grinned, and his eyes turned to Xiao Xi'er.

Su Dai hurriedly shouted: "Second sister-in-law, come here!" ”

Xiao Xi'er knelt down in front of the couch and whispered, "Big..."

Su Hu stretched out a hand that could only move, trembling and feeling out a piece of goatskin title deed under the pillow, and stuffed it to Xiao Xi'er: "Qin'er will come back sooner or later, give this..."

Xiao Xi'er took the title deed and cried: "Big..."

Su Hu gently stroked her hair: "Xi'er, the Su family can't stand you, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you!" ”

Xiao Xi'er lay on the couch and cried: "Big..."

There was footsteps outside, and Hei barked wildly.

Tianshun'er ran outside, and after a while, she turned in again and yelled at Su Li: "Ah Da, looking for you!" ”

Su Li went out in response, and after a while, he walked back to the hall quickly, knelt down in front of Su Hu excitedly, and held a land deed in his hand: "Ah Da, a great joy!" Steward Hao on Lizheng's house just came, and Steward Hao returned the fifteen acres of land that his second brother pawned to Lizheng's family a few years ago, this is the title deed! ”

"Why did Lord Liu return?" Su Hu's dim old eyes swept towards the title deed.

"Steward Hao said that Lord Liu passed away yesterday, and before his death, he took out this title deed and asked Steward Hao to return it to our family!"

Su Hu struggled a few times and wanted to sit up, but was held down by Su Yao.

Su Hu gasped for a while: "Since the canon is given to people, it is people's people, and they are people's, so they are people's people, and they are people's people, and they are people's people, and they are people's people!" ”

"Big, I said don't want to die, Steward Hao doesn't follow it, saying that it is Lord Liu's last order, he doesn't dare to disobey it!"

Su Hu closed his eyes for a while, and then opened them again: "Why..." ”

"Great," Su Dai explained, "In the past two years, the Liu family has been defeated. Lord Liu's son made a prodigal friend, saying that he was from Henan Yi, and the man tricked him into Zhengcheng, South Korea, lured him into the casino, and gambled his Wanguan family property. ”

Su Hu gasped for a while, and looked at Su Li: "Li'er, people, people ”

Su Li nodded: "Li'er obeys!" ”

Su Hu waved his hand: "Go, it's a big tiring..."

Su Li ordered everyone to go out.

Su Dai walked into the courtyard, and his wife followed, ripped off his clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, when will the second brother come back?" ”

Su Dai glared at her: "Jing asked some strange words, when will the second brother come back, how do I know?" ”

"Didn't you just say that the second brother is a big official in the world, and he is rushing home at this moment!"

"I lied to Dali, do you take it seriously? Idiot! Sudai stared at her.

"Well," Su Li's wife happened to come over and continued, "I just guess that you kid is a liar." If it's true, can you still have a hint of wind from your funnel mouth? ”

"Sister-in-law is right." Sudai grimaced at her.

"He's big," Su Dai's wife continued, "But how did I hear that the second brother is really a big official!" ”

"Listen to whom?" Su Dai gave her a blank look.

"I was doing laundry by the river and listened to passers-by. They all said that the nations met in Mengjin and elected a longitudinal chief, and that person was really amazing, surnamed Su and Qin, who was from Luoyang. I have a horizontal feeling in my heart, isn't that person the second brother? ”

"Hehe," Su Li's wife laughed, "My sister is really good ears, but her heart is too sincere." It's been more than ten days since Huimeng, if it's really our second brother, and he's at the door, can he come back to show off? Even if he doesn't miss his second sister, he won't even want his eldest sister, right? ”

"Sister-in-law is right!" Su Dai was impressed and glanced at his wife Bai, "Just you, listening to the wind is rain, pig brain!" ”

Su Dai's wife snorted: "I... I... I just want the second brother to come back as soon as possible, the second sister-in-law is so pitiful!" ”

In the small courtyard across the wall, Xiao Xi'er, who was about to feed Ah Hei, listened to their conversation truthfully. Thinking of Su Qin's parting words, thinking that after Lao Xi'er passed away, she was really alone in this world, Xiao Xi'er was sad, her eyes fell on Ah Hei who was staring at the food in her hand, her legs were weak, she knelt on the ground, dog food was sprinkled all over the ground, hugged Ah Hei tightly, raised her voice, and cried with grief.

At the same time, Su Qin, who was in Mengjin, was really anxious.

Su Qin knew that Pang Juan would never lie about this matter, and there was no need to do so.

It must be true that my father is critically ill.

Thinking of his father, Su Qin felt a pang in his heart. Yes, he was ashamed of his father. My father was about to die because of his heartbreak and illness because of him, and he was at the door of his house, and he couldn't even go back and jump on tiptoe.

This Chenguang, he can't wait to fly back with wings.

But he couldn't, because it was the world that was far more urgent than his father.

Su Qin had to admire Pang Juan's scheming. Obviously, Pang Juan went out of his way to visit Xuanli, not really caring about him, but seeking every possible opportunity to separate him. The purpose of the alliance is to settle the dispute, and the indulging will start the war as soon as it is formed, which Su Qin can't accept no matter what.

However, when the alliance ordered him to return to his hometown to fulfill his filial piety, he thought about it and couldn't find a reason to disobey it.

The next morning, he summoned Lou Zhuan, roughly analyzed the situation before him, entrusted him with all the affairs of the nations, and asked him to pay close attention to the developments, and report to him secretly whenever there was a situation.

It is a matter of time to arrange the relevant matters of the nations.

Su Qin was about to set off, but Gongzi Wei arrived and said, "Su Zi is in a hurry." Fang Cai's father summoned him and told him again and again, saying that Su Zi's provincial relatives this time was extraordinary, and in order to prevent accidents, he specially sent 3,000 guards and guarded ten miles. In addition, the provincial relatives are all in charge, and the father decrees that they will be handled in the next force. If Su Zi has any mistakes, he will ask below. In the next trembling, a few regulations have been specially drawn up, please Su Zi take a look! After speaking, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and presented it to Su Qin.

Su Qin unfolded the bamboo slips, and at a rough look, all the items were supervised, especially the first paragraph, Su Qin's daily affairs, no matter how big or small, were arranged by Gongzi.

Seeing that he had actually become a prisoner, Su Qin smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your care." The king is too worried, he is returning to his hometown and relatives, and he is not risking himself, where will there be accidents? ”

"The king's special decree," Gongzi Wei has already prepared to deal with it, "The success of the six countries is all the work of Su Zi." The Qin people will have jealousy and hatred towards Suzi, or have the heart of harm. Su Zi is the chief of the longitudinal agreement, and Su Zi's safety is related to the overall situation of the countries, and he must not be sloppy at all! ”

"My father is critically ill, and I want to rush back to visit one day earlier."

"My father was very concerned about Ling Zun's illness, and he had asked the imperial doctor to rush first. With the presence of the imperial doctor, Ling Zun will be fine for a while, and Su Zi can be relieved. ”

Gongzi blocked his words everywhere, and Su Qin knew that there was no way out, so he arched his hand and said, "Listen to Gongzi's arrangement!" ”

"May I ask Su Zi, this time the provincial relatives, are you going to meet the king of Zhou?"

"Listen to Childe."

Having said that, he took the liberty of doing it for him. As a Zhou Min, Suzi Province must not see Zhou Jun. Today is not what it used to be, the world is the king, although Zhou is a kingdom, it is a small state, Su Zi, as the chief of the longitudinal covenant and the co-minister of the six countries, is no longer an ordinary secretary. The small state and the widow are also embarrassed by how to greet the countries and the six countries. The Zhou room is good at etiquette, and I heard that the person in charge of the Zhou room is Yan Taishi at the moment, so he drafted a prayer post and sent it to his subordinates to see what he was doing. ”

"Listen to Childe."

A cart of horses galloped down the streets of Wangcheng.

The car galloped to the main gate of Miyagi, and a tall and thin man in his thirties jumped out of the car and walked briskly on the steps in front of the palace.

This person is the new Taishi Yan of the Zhou Chamber, the eldest son of the late Taishi Yan. The old lady passed away, and King Xian ordered his son to succeed him according to the edict.

The great palace was empty. The Zhou room is lonely, if it is not for the great dynasty, there is almost no one in the palace, and there are not even a few eunuchs, all of them are old. Yan Shu was familiar with the habits of the king, so no one asked, and went straight to the imperial study.

King Zhou Xian was really there.

The ministers greeted him and led him to an audience.

"Master, please take a seat!" After seeing the ceremony, the corner of King Xian's mouth turned at the seat next to him, and said lightly.

"Your Majesty," Yan Shu couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, "Chen Te has come to report a piece of good news!" ”

"Ho," a wry smile appeared at the corner of King Zhou Xian's mouth, "The widow hasn't heard good news for many years!" ”

"The previous countries indulged in relatives, rejected Qin in the Mengjin Alliance, elected Su Qin as the longitudinal chief, and worshiped Su Qin as the prime minister. The minister just received a letter of worship, saying that Su Qin, the chief of the longitudinal covenant and the co-minister of the six countries, had recently returned to his hometown and wanted to meet the king. Wei Wei, the special envoy of the Wei family, accompanied by Wei Wei, this is a letter of worship presented by Gongzi Wei to the ministers, please visit the king! Yan Shu took out the prayer note from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.

"The prayer is for you, what does it have to do with the widow?" King Zhou Xian waved his hand and pushed it back, his eyes slightly closed.

Yan Shu took back the prayer post, which was a little embarrassing, because the worship post really shouldn't be shown to the Son of Heaven, and he was overjoyed.

"Su Qin?" King Zhou Xian muttered, as if he remembered something, half muttering to himself, half asking, "But that Su Qin who cultivated in Yunmeng Mountain a few years ago?" ”

"Exactly!" Yan rate said, "According to the minister's visit, this person lives in Luoyang, Xuanli Village, the world is a royal family subordinate to the farmer, rarely ambitious, words and deeds are different from ordinary people, taste the village neighbors laugh, after the crown rushed to Yunmeng Mountain, and Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Zhang Yi three people studied in the savage Guiguzi, after the mountain, first went to Qin Qiushi, and then joined the six countries, to build this outstanding feat. ”

"Oh, it's done." King Zhou Xian's tone was still faint, "According to Aiqing's opinion, what kind of hospitality should the widow do?" ”

"Your Majesty," Yan Shu leaned over and played, "Su Zi's talent is world-renowned, he obeys the world with one call, he obeys the world, he is a six-phase minister, and he is comparable to ordinary courtiers. Listening to the person who sent the post, Su Zi instructed that this time he was visiting as a member of the Son of Heaven," and lowered his voice, "Su Zi, as a Zhou person, has made outstanding achievements, and this time he returned to his hometown and specially met the king, which has a deep meaning, and may be of great use in my Zhou room." According to the minister's opinion, the king should be treated with generous gifts, and the suburbs welcome ten miles, showing his merits. ”

"Alas," King Zhou Xian sighed, "the Zhou room has become like this, what is the use of big and small use?" However, this Su Qin is chic, and the widow wants to meet him. Whether it is a big gift or a small gift, whether it is a suburb welcome or a greeting, it is all up to Aiqing to decide. ”

"According to the will of the ministers, the king had better welcome the suburbs." Yan Rate hesitated, "However, if it is a suburb welcome, it should be a guard of honor." Although the guard of honor is there, it has not been used for a long time, and it has long been scattered. ”

"Whatever is missing, Aiqing will buy it."

"Obey. But the money..."

"Need geometry?"

"One hundred taels of pure gold."

For the Zhou family, one hundred taels of gold is obviously a big number, and King Zhou Xian couldn't help but let out an "oh" sound, condensed his brows, and after a while, his brows loosened: "The two uncles have not paid tribute for many years, and this is a reason." If you can ask to see them, you will say that the widow will give an edict that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty will each pay 50 taels of gold to welcome the relatives of Suzi Province. ”

"Obey the order!"

Under the careful deployment of Gongziwei, the visiting relatives and horses traveled more than ten miles and drove to the royal city of Zhou.

Yan led people to Gongyi (Eastern Zhou Gong Shiyi), and greeted Luoshui in the east of the city with the Eastern Zhou Gong. After seeing each other, Yan sent a decree, saying that the Son of Heaven had set off to go to the square pavilion ten miles east of Luoyang City, and bowed to the suburbs to welcome Suzi. Su Qin knocked on Wang En and ordered the carriages and horses to speed up their pace, so as not to wait for the Son of Heaven for a long time.

In order to welcome and send off guests from all over the world, Luoyang Wangcheng set up pavilions every ten miles outside the east and west main gates of the royal city. There are three pavilions altogether, each built in an open place, all are square, and the nearest from the royal city is called the ten-mile square pavilion. Ten miles of square pavilion length and width of each three zhang, can accommodate 100 people, even if it rains, does not affect the send-off.

The suburb of the Son of Heaven is a great gift for the Zhou room, as much as ten miles of square pavilions, and the guests are either saints or sages, at least they should be the heroes of triumph. The Zhou room is declining, there are no major guests, and few heroes return to the door, and the Son of Heaven has not welcomed him for a long time.

This time, the six countries were in each other's provinces, and Zhou Tianzi put on a guard of honor to greet the Son of Heaven, and the people in the nearby towns were all alarmed, and they all helped the old and the young to watch the excitement.

It's really enough to watch. Standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the distance, on the wide official road, one side is the mighty and majestic, majestic, stretching for nearly 20 miles of longitudinal relatives and horses, on the other side is the colorful Son of Heaven honor guard and the people of different colors under the rule of the Son of Heaven, from the east gate of Luoyang to the ten-mile square pavilion, men, women and children are separated on both sides of the official road, and thousands of heads are crowded.

Visiting relatives and horses gradually approached the ten-mile square pavilion, and saw the canopy of the Son of Heaven in the distance.

The team slowed down.

One stone's throw away, the visiting cars and horses stopped, lined up on both sides, Su Qin and Gongzi drove out, the honor guard of the Son of Heaven saluted, and the welcome music began. Then there is the cumbersome ceremony of welcoming and meeting the suburbs of the Great Zhou, including giving royal wine, rewarding meat, etc., which lasts for half an hour, and then Su Qin ascends to the throne and returns to the royal city with the Son of Heaven.

The family visit carriages and horses are divided into two teams, a team of more than 100 cars, the first is Gongzi, accompanied by Yan Taishi and two Zhou Gongs, closely followed by Wang Yuan, and the team of carriages and horses is led by Han Gongzizhang, stationed on the bank of Yishui.

Returning to the royal city, the king ascended to the court and ascended to the main hall.

Su Qin and Gongzi made a big ceremony, Su Qin high-fived, and more than 20 gift boxes were carried in.

Su Qin knocked down, took out the gift list from his sleeve, and sang aloud: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou, the six countries are indulging in relatives, and they will meet in Mengjin. This is dedicated by the six monarchs, please check it out to Your Majesty! ”

At this time, the six kingdoms were already kings, and Su Qin did not mention the six kings, only the six monarchs, and used the word audience, obviously to protect the face of the Zhou family. The ministers knew this, took the gift list, and then according to the usual practice, stood on one side and chanted: "Twenty Chugong dragon balls, ten pairs of white bi, fifty silk horses; Zigon..."

The ministers do not leave the word "tribute" every sentence, and deliberately drag the sound behind this word. The civil and military officials all had happy faces and full of pride, only the king was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, frowning, and before the ministers finished singing, they waved their hands with difficulty: "You don't have to sing, you don't have to test, you can carry it down." He turned to Su Qin and Gongzi again, and squeezed out a smile, "I'm bothering you princes!" Two of you, please! ”

The box is lifted.

Su Qin and Gongzi thanked each other, got up and sat down.

King Xian glanced at Taishi Yan, the two Zhou Dukes and the hundred officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, the hour is not early, disperse the dynasty!" He turned to Su Qin again, "The widow has a thin tea in the imperial study, and Su Zi can have Yaxing?" ”

"It's an honor!"

King Xian took the lead in getting up, ignoring the prince, and walked straight to the side door. The prince of the Su Qin Dynasty arched his hand, followed behind the ministers, and also walked out.

Gongzi was embarrassed, and Taishi Yan took a step forward and said to him and the two Zhou Dukes: "Prepare a table of thin wine in the morning, and I want to invite Wei Gongzi and the two Grand Dukes to drink freely in the mansion, and hope that Wei Gongzi and the two Grand Dukes will appreciate their faces." ”

Gongzi replied: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

A group of four people walked out of the main hall and drove into the mansion of Master Yan.

In the imperial study, King Xian and Su Qin sat down.

A palace maid had already set up a tea set, and King Xian picked up a cup: "Suzi, please!" ”

Su Qin did not raise his glass, but got up and left the table, kneeling on the ground and knocking: "The sinner Su Qin has an unforgivable crime, begging His Majesty to punish him." ”

"Hey, what is Su Zi's crime?" King Xian was a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty," Su Qin knocked again, "the guilty people have three major crimes of disrespect, one is that as a citizen of the Great Zhou, he did not do his best for the Great Zhou, and he is guilty of disloyalty; the second is to unite the countries and make a total of one Qin, but he did not meet His Majesty in time, and he was guilty of trespassing; The third is that the six monarchs will ally with Mengjin, but they fail to persuade the six monarchs to meet His Majesty, which is a crime. The sinners have these three sins, and the sins are not forgiven, beg Your Majesty to punish them! ”

"Alas," King Xian sighed and put down his teacup, "Suzi, please." If there is no loyalty in the world, how can you be disloyal? The world is supreme, how can it be transgressed? The kings of the nations have long regarded the widow as a mustard, how can the widow move to Suzi? ”

"Your Majesty..." Su Qin cried.

King Xian got up, helped Su Qin to sit in his seat, returned to his seat and sat down, and raised his glass again: "The widow invited you to come, not to talk about cooperation, nor to talk about the world, but to invite you to taste tea." Suzi, please! ”

Su Qin wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and also raised his glass and said, "Your Majesty, please!" ”

The two of them took a sip each, and King Xian put down the cup: "The widow has another thing to ask Suzi." ”

"Su Qin knows everything."

"Su Zihe is a country in the world, and there are many rumors about the widows. The widow wanted to know, when Su Zi went to Yan Kingdom, did he see Mrs. Yan Guo? ”

Su Qin nodded: "I saw it." ”

"Cher, how are she?" The king leaned slightly, not without anxiety.

The Son of Heaven doesn't care about the world's major affairs, he only cares about his daughter's safety, which makes Su Qin feel a lot of emotion, his eyes are moist, and he responds in a trembling voice: "Everything is fine with Mrs. Yanguo!" ”

King Xian became more and more anxious: "Suzi, please tell the truth!" Where did you meet Cher? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty," Su Qin wiped away his tears with his sleeve, "Without Mrs. Yan Guo, there would be no Su Qin today." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Su Qin then recounted his experience in Yan Country in detail, saying how he was in trouble in Yan Kingdom, how he met Mrs. Yan Guo, how Mrs. Yan Guo helped him introduce Yan Gong, and how she helped him to join forces.

"Your Majesty, this time the alliance, Mrs. Yan Guo also came with Yan Gong."

"Oh?" King Xian was surprised and delighted, "Xue'er is here?" Do you see her? ”

Su Qin shook his head: "The minister just heard that she was coming." I heard that Mrs. Yan Guo misses Your Majesty very much, this time the alliance, Yan Gong specially accompanied Mrs. Yan, I wanted to meet Your Majesty with Mrs. after the alliance, but I didn't want to..."

"Oh?" The king's heart sank.

"Duke Yan suddenly received an urgent report from the prince and hurried back to China with his wife."

"Is there a big deal in Yan Kingdom?"

"As far as the minister knows, it was the Qin envoy who went to Yan to ask for an appointment, and wanted to marry the princess of the Qin family to the prince of Yan."

"Oh!" King Xian let out a sigh and raised his glass, "Come, Suzi, please tea!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Qin raised his glass and sipped it.

King Xian put down the cup and changed the subject: "The widow lives in this palace and does not know the customs outside the palace." I heard that Su Zi was from Xuanli Village, and he was under the nose of the widow. Can you tell us about your family and open the eyes of the widows? ”

"Your Majesty is concerned!" Su Qin got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The minister was born from a humble background, and he has been a farmer of the Great Zhou Dynasty for generations. Before the third generation, the ancestor Su Wen devoted himself to farming, cultivated the law, coupled with the wind and rain, and had a bumper harvest for eight consecutive years. The Son of Heaven An Wang Longyan was overjoyed, commended the ancestors, gave a plaque, gave a good field and a well, and was in addition to the peasant nationality. Passed to the father Su Hu, the father of the family thanked the Son of Heaven for the mighty Longen, all his life to work on agriculture, and hoped to get His Majesty's encouragement again, but the sky was not beautiful, although the year-round hard work, the long-cherished wish was difficult to repay, and the father also became ill because of the accumulation, and he was sick for a long time. My father hoped that the ministers would work hard to revitalize the ancestral industry, but the ministers were not here, and they had the trust of their father. Speaking of this, he paused again and again, weeping, "The minister is disloyal to the minister, and the son is not filial, but he is really disloyal and unfilial!" After speaking, let out a loud cry of sorrow.

King Zhou Xian had heard such loyal stories of his subordinates, and he was so moved that he was speechless for a long time.

"Your Majesty..." Su Qin cried silently.

"Suzi, please get up." King Xian came to his senses, picked up Su Qin with his own hands, and turned to the ministers, "Proposed purpose, the people of Xuanli, the Su family, have been cultivating for generations, loyal to the family, and raising a son Su Qin, who can be a hero among the people, with the strength of one person, the achievement of the six countries of indulgence, and the success of chasing the sun and the moon." Appreciate the five wells of Sumen Liangtian, seal Suhu as a rice man, and move the family to become a baron, admire this! ”

"Obey the order!"

Because he is the co-prime minister of the six countries, his identity is prominent, and he has a son who is inseparable from him, Su Qin can't get out.

It was not until the next day that Su Qin said goodbye to Zhou Tianzi, left the royal city with Gongzi, and went to the shore of Yishui to visit his relatives and horses, and rushed to Xuanli. The provincial long dragon swayed back and forth, the sound of horses' hooves on the official road, the wheels and chariots, the smoke and dust rolled, and the colorful flags of the six countries swaggered in the wind.

Wangcheng is thirty miles away from Xuanli Mao, but because it is an official road, it has gone around for more than 20 miles, and it has been delayed a lot of Chenguang at Yishui Ferry, and it is already late when it arrives at Xuanli.

The villages near and far shook again, and the crowds of people who watched the excitement flocked to the east bank of Yishui from all directions like rushing to the market, surrounding Xuanli Village.

Regarding this major incident that everyone in Luoyang knew about, the Su family was kept in the dark. Yesterday, Luoyang Allure welcomed Su Qin, although some people reported, and even some villagers swore that he saw with his own eyes that the prime minister of the Six Nations was Su Qin, but the Su family still believed it, especially Su Qin's sister-in-law, who didn't believe it at all.

Xu is King Wei Hui forgot his promise and did not send the imperial doctor to diagnose Su Hu as Gongzi Wei said. Su Hu's condition continued to deteriorate, and he talked nonsense in the early morning of this day, one by one, and his voice became lower and lower, and then he only saw his mouth open, but he didn't make a sound, and there was more air in his nostrils, and less air came in, and he couldn't drink even Su Yao's water.

Su Li knew that the old man was leaving.

In order to let the old man have a reunion, it was almost noon, Su Li and Su Dai called all the family members in, and ordered none of them to go out, and knelt in front of the bed.

There is a brand-new cypress coffin in the main hall, and the tung lacquer is shiny.

After settling Su Hu, Su Li raised his head slightly and asked his wife to open the door curtain so that Su Hu could see the coffin.

Su Dai walked over, knocked the coffin loudly, and said loudly: "Big, this is a cypress coffin, which was bought by the second sister-in-law for Da!" ”

Tears welled up in the corners of Su Hu's eyes, his gaze turned to Xiao Xi'er, and his mouth squirmed slightly.

"Big..." Xiao Xi'er knelt a few steps forward and lay her head on Su Hu.

Su Hu's mouth moved a few more times, but there was still no sound. He tried to lift the hand that could only move, but he couldn't. When Su Yao saw it, he pulled his hand over and put it on Xiao Xi'er's face.

Su Hu's fingers moved again with difficulty, as if he wanted to wipe his tears for Xiao Xi'er.

At this time, there was a riot in the village, and the villagers flocked to the outside of the village.

After a while, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door of Su's house, and a woman ran in shouting: "Brother Su, Brother Su, hurry, there is something big!" ”

Listen to the voice and know that it is Maguer.

Su Dai looked at Su Li.

Su Linu mouthed, and Su Dai greeted him. Su Li's wife and Su Dai's wife glanced at each other and ran out. Tianshun'er and several babies also wanted to go out, and just stood up, when they heard Su Li's heavy nasal voice, they knelt down again.

Ah Hei's head lay at Xiao Xi'er's feet, motionless.

"Shh Su Dai was afraid that she would startle Su Hu, so he gestured and lowered his voice, "Magu'er, what's the matter?" ”

"Oh my God, the prime minister of the Six Nations who Zhou Tianzi greeted yesterday is really the second young master of our family!" Ma Gu'er couldn't suppress her excitement, "Quick, hurry up and tell my brother, and Xiaoxi'er!" ”

"Magu'er, are you serious? Is that person really the second brother? Su Dai was surprised and delighted, and half-convinced.

"When did Ma Gu'er tell you a lie!" Ma Gu'er glared at him, "The carriages and horses have all passed through Yishui, and the whole Yili has turned the sky upside down, and all the people within a radius of ten miles have gone to greet it, only your family is stupid in this house!" ”

Su Li's wife was sticking a hairpin into her hair, and when she heard this, she was dumbfounded, and the hairpin in her hand fell to the ground with a "snap".

Su Dai's wife hurriedly returned to the house, knelt on the ground, and said excitedly: "Big brother, hurry up, tell Ah Da, the second brother is really back!" The second brother became a big official, he was the prime minister of the Six Kingdoms, and the carriage and horse were passing through Yishui, and he would arrive home in a while, it was Maguer who said it! ”

Su Li stared at her suspiciously, and was about to speak, when Ma Gu'er walked in, seeing that it was this formation, she swallowed back the words in her mouth, walked quickly to Su Hu, stroked her hand on his face, and lowered her voice in his ear: "Brother Su, it's me, your eldest sister, see you're here!" The eldest sister told you a happy event, it was a very happy event, your second boy is back! I really didn't see it, he had a lot of money this time, he was the prime minister of the six countries, and he was the chief of the longitudinal covenant, and I heard that he had six big gold seals on his chest, and the six monarchs followed his ass and swirled. He came back yesterday, and when Zhou Tianzi heard that he was back, he drove to the suburbs to welcome ten miles, and put on a colorful array, and all the people in Luoyang went to see the excitement. Zhou Tianzi greeted the second young master, let him into the palace, and invited him into the palace! My old brother, your heart is beautiful now! ”

All eyes were on Su Hu.

Su Yao's family didn't squeak, Xiao Xi'er naturally thought that Ma Gu'er knew that her father-in-law was worried about Su Qin and wanted him to be comforted before he died, so she cried more and more sadly.

Su Hu closed his eyelids, his throat and eyes gurgled, no one knew what he said.

Judging from his expression, Su Hu obviously didn't believe it.

Ma Gu'er was in a hurry, and was about to change her way to explain, when there was a rush of horses' hooves outside the door, and several palace riders arrived first, and under the guidance of Si Nong, they stopped outside the door.

The first person is the head of the Great Zhou royal family.

Neizai walked into the courtyard, took out the holy decree, and sang loudly: "The emperor of the Great Zhou has a decree, and the people of the Great Zhou Su Hu listen to the decree!" ”

It was only at this time that everyone believed that all this was true, but they didn't know how to receive the order, and they were all stunned, including Ma Gu'er, who was stunned for a while, and then knelt in the courtyard like dumplings.

Neizai glanced at it, and saw the coffin in the hall, which was already in the hall, and read it out loud: "Su Hu, the son of Xuanli, listens to the order: the Su family has been cultivating for generations, is loyal to the family, and has a son Su Qin, who can be a hero in the world. Appreciate the five wells of Sumen Liangtian, seal Suhu as a rice man, and move the family to become a baron, admire this! ”

None of them answered, but looked at each other.

Si Nong shouted: "Hey, why are you waiting for a moment?" Don't take the order to thank you yet! ”

Then the people came to their senses and knocked their heads on the mountain.

Si Nong said, "Which of you is in charge?" ”

Su Li kowtowed: "The grass people Su Li kowtowed!" ”

"Hehehe," Si Nong walked over and pulled him up, "Lord Su, Your Majesty has made a clear decree to be promoted to the Lord, from today onwards, your family is no longer grass people!" As he spoke, he took the holy decree from Neizai's hand, and took out a land deed from his sleeve, "This is the edict of the Son of Heaven, you can hang it in the Ming Hall and glorify your descendants." This is the title deed of Gojing Liangtian, and you can also take it away! Lord Su, the prime minister of the six countries, will arrive in an instant, hurry up and go out of the village to greet him! ”

Su Li trembled his hands, took the holy decree and the title deed, was stunned, turned around and went back to the house, knelt in front of Su Hu's couch excitedly, and trembled: "Great, yes, it's true, it's true, the second brother he... Great, from today onwards, Da will be the same as Lord Si Nong, a doctor in the court! ”

Su Hu didn't move, his eyes were closed, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, and tears were streaming down his face.

"Big, look, this is the holy decree, this is the title deed of the five wells!"

Su Hu still didn't move.

Su Li was about to shout again, but Su Yao's voice was hoarse: "Sensei screamed, he couldn't hear it!" ”

Xiao Xi'er stretched out her hand to block Su Hu's nostrils, and her voice was terrible: "Big..."

Su Li was shocked, and after careful examination of Su Hu, he was already out of breath.

"Big, big..." Su Li let go of his hands, and the holy decree and title deed fell at Su Yao's feet.

Su Yao slowly bent down, reached out to pick up the holy decree and land deed that had fallen on the ground, and gently covered Su Hu's face.

The courtyard was empty.

The noise in the field was getting closer and closer, and everyone went outside the village to welcome Lord Su, the prime minister of the six countries.

Su Qin returned to Xuanli Village in Ah Hei's crazy pounce.

As soon as he stepped on the bank of the Yishui River, Su Qin's chariots and horses were surrounded by a crowd of people.

Compared with the grand formation of Zhou Tianzi's suburbs yesterday, today's atmosphere is more enthusiastic and crazy, because there is no ceremony in this Chenguang, only family affection, and most of the people who greet him are neighbors from near and far who have watched him grow up.

Su Qin jumped out of the cart and walked side by side with Gongzi at the front of the provincial team. Su Qin arched his hands, walked all the way, and shook all the way, with a carved smile on his face.

The villagers of Dazhou, who came from all directions, lined up from Xuanli Village to Yishui's edge, surrounding both sides of a rural dirt road less than five feet wide. Everyone was excited, and all eyes were fixed on Su Qin. People from nearby crowded to the side of the road to see the demeanor of the six countries. The people in the distance waited and talked about it:

"Tut-tut, people have never seen such a pomp and circumstance in their lives!"

"Oh my God, it's time for the Son of Heaven to go on patrol!"

"How can the Son of Heaven have such a scene? I heard that even the court is not on the court! Have you seen that formation yesterday? ”

"Who said it was the day? I'm talking about Mu Tianzi! You kid, have you heard of Mu Tianzi? When Mu Tianzi went out on patrol, that battle, that might, even the tiger had to kneel! ”

"Okay, good, I won't fight with you! You know, I have known Master Su since I was a child, and we have played with urine and mud together. At that time, he didn't speak, he was like a mute, you know why? Because he's a stammer! ”

"Tut-tut, I didn't expect a stammering to have such a beautiful scenery!"

"Even with your eyes, the saint can't see it when he stands in front of him! It's not blowing, I already knew that Master Su could achieve great things! ”

"Net blow!"

"Whoever blows is not human! That year, on Wangcheng Street, there was an old man with white eyebrows who told the fortune of Lord Su, saying that Lord Su would be the prime minister in the future, and no one would believe it, only me! ”

"Why do you believe it?"

"Just because he's a stammer!"

"Shhh

⋯⋯

In the hustle and bustle of the crowd of people and voices, Su Qin smiled indifferently and walked mechanically, his scalp tingled, and he couldn't feel the urge and desire to return to his hometown in fine clothes.

A few years ago, on this same land, he said that the scene of Qin's return appeared in front of his eyes like a dream, one scene after another, one scene after another, which could not be driven away and lingered. However, the son on his side was infected by this huge scene, and his face was excited, and he raised his hand frequently, as if he was the one who returned to his hometown.

Just when Su Qin's whole body was numb, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the crowd, rushing into the several feet wide corridor opened by the sea of people like a sharp arrow, and pounced on Su Qin with lightning speed.

Everyone was stunned.

Gongzi Wei was even more stunned, his face turned pale with fright, because the black shadow was running too fast, and the process was too sudden, and even the flying knife Zou who was following Su Qin couldn't react.

It's Ahei!

The first to react was Su Qin.

"Ahi!" Su Qin was surprised and delighted, screamed softly, and bent down.

Ah Hei muttered, arching and licking on him.

Su Qin hugged it tightly, put his face on its head, tears welled up in his eyes, and his hands kept moving his hair: "Ah Hei, Ah Hei..."

People were shocked again and looked at this man in disbelief.

After some intimacy, Ah Hei broke free, grabbed Su Qin's wide sleeve in his mouth, whined, and dragged forward desperately.

Seeing its anxious state, Su Qin's heart tightened, and he no longer ignored the greeting team and travel etiquette, took a big stride, and followed closely.

Everyone was fooled by the black dog. No one cheered anymore, and Su Qin didn't say anything to anyone anymore, but instinctively quickened his pace, walking faster and faster, and followed Ding Ah Hei closely.

Ah Hei ran faster and faster, and Su Qin followed.

A man and a dog galloped all the way home, and before they stepped into the courtyard gate, the sad cries of Xiao Xi'er and eldest brother Su Li came from the hall.

Su Qin rushed to the door of the hall and stopped abruptly.

Su Qin held the door frame with his hands, his legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground.

Hei crouched at his feet, arching his legs from time to time.

I don't know how long it took for Su Qin to come back to his senses, he threw himself forward, bent his knees, knelt on the ground, and squeezed out a low, changing trill from his throat: "Big-"
