On May 22, Kou Sheng ordered to send troops to attack Xu Guo on the grounds of not abiding by the law and disobeying Zhou Tianzi's orders.

But under the pretext of being in poor health, Kou Sheng entrusted all matters of the military ceremony to Zhao Guogong with a royal decree, but Zhao Guogong was the one who gave advice to Kou Sheng, so he naturally knew that it was powerful, and how could it be so easy to take over this hot potato.

You must know that the current situation is turbulent, the people are full of grievances, everyone knows how to protect themselves, if he Zhao Guogong presided over the military ceremony at this time, then no matter what the result is, he will definitely end up with a thousand people and die without illness.

Thinking that he has not been able to avenge his daughter Zhao Yanyue's humiliation by his grandson, how can he be willing at this time?

So Zhao Guogong thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a clever plan, instead of the fox not catching and causing a commotion, he might as well try to get the two people to take the initiative to stand up and break the blood, even if there is a public grievance, the king can blame him for the blame in the name of despising Wang Wei.

However, who should I find first?

Zhao Guogong thought for a moment, and finally found Ying Xiaoyou, who he thought was not very bright, overnight.

And Ying Xiaoyou naturally didn't know his intentions at first, so after the two of them had a pair of greetings for a while, Zhao Guogong Yu Ying Xiaoyou offered a plan and said, "I know that filial piety is benevolent, this time the king decided to board the car to decide the commander, it is really unfair to filial piety, I think that the grandson has always been proud in the court, and he relied on himself to be the grandson of the founding king Huan Gong, and did not put others in his eyes at all, but although we are not very satisfied with him, but in the final analysis, this person is strong in martial arts, if the filial piety friend is to face the enemy head-on, I'm afraid it's no match for him. ”

Ying Xiaoyou looked at Zhao Guogong with a sincere face, and smiled gently, and probably guessed his intention in his heart, "So, what is the opinion of Lord Guogong?" ”

"The position of the boss can never be handed over to him," Zhao Guogong's face was fierce, his fingers buckled the table of the coffee table, and said angrily, "Gongzi is born to kill, if the position of the boss is handed over to such a person, I am afraid that I, Zheng Bang, tens of millions of soldiers and people, will be poisoned by it, and it will be difficult to be spared!" Therefore, I came here this time to ask for a chance from filial friends for these innocent people. ”

"Oh?" Ying Xiaoyou smiled helplessly, "But Guogong Fang also said just now, Brother Zidu is high in martial arts, but Ying can't carry it on his shoulders and can't lift it, did Lord Guogong worship the wrong door?" ”

"Hey, filial piety is wrong," Zhao Guogong waved his hand, a little cunning bloomed on his dark face, "If you talk about martial arts, filial piety may lose a little, but just with fists and feet, it is the courage of a horseman, and many people can win by outwitting." ”

"Where did you start with this?" Ying Xiaoyou maintained a quiet look on his face, but he also began to plan in his heart.

Zhao Guogong saw that there was an opportunity, his eyes turned a few times, and he sneered, "Actually, on the way here, I have already thought of a countermeasure for filial piety, and the king said that the one who has a long hub is the commander, so filial piety may as well do this..."

Zhao Guogong lowered his voice and whispered to Ying Xiaoyou's side, which made Ying Xiaoyou groan for a moment and said seriously, "You mean to let me go to meet the king on the day of the army?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhao Guogong smiled proudly, "The king said that day that the person who has a long hub will be handsome, but he did not say that it is a complete chariot, that is, the chariot is the chariot part, and the filial friend first met the king with this part, it is appropriate, I think that even if the grandson is high in martial arts, it will never be possible to move the entire chariot to the king." ”

"Brother Kezidu is not a fool, how could he allow me to use such a trick?" Ying Xiaoyou's face was suspicious.

Zhao Guogong immediately frowned when he heard this, and said decisively, "Xiaoyou, this is wrong again, how can this be a trick?" We are waiting for the well-being of Zheng Guo's people, this is an extremely sacred thing! Besides, filial piety does not have to worry too much, the old man will arrange a good person in front of the temple that day, and safely escort filial friends to meet the king. ”

Saying this, Ying Xiaoyou put away the doubt in his eyes.

At that time, on the day of the military award in the Taimiao, the grandson and Yingxiao led dozens of civil and military officials to burn incense and toast, and recited the words to the ancestors.

Later, Zhao Guogong awarded weapons on behalf of Kou Sheng, and Zidu was a halberd, and Ying Xiaoyou was granted a bronze sword because of his frailty.

So there were two situations present, Zidu fled with a halberd in the compliments of the ministers, in order to show the determination of not to win, on the other hand, although Ying Xiaoyou's side was cold and cold, he was also complacent.

Then the battle for the commander-in-chief, which everyone was looking forward to, kicked off with a long hub advanced by two officers and soldiers.

The crowd of onlookers began to discuss, and some people even began to bet on treasure in private, but it was Zhao Guogong who walked towards the hub first.

He glanced back at the people with different faces, and with the long sword in his hand, he neatly picked up a piece of cloth sail covering the long hub.

"Please, two!" Zhao Guogong sneered, with a commanding look on his face.

The grandson was stunned, and glanced at the weak Ying Xiaoyou with disdain, and then jumped in...

By the time the others reacted, the grandson was already standing firmly in the long hub.

"Good!" The crowd of onlookers applauded.

At this moment, Zhao Guogong and Ying Xiaoyou secretly exchanged glances.

Immediately after, there was a crisp sound of "clang" in the middle of the boiling voice.

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see that the bronze sword that had just been awarded to Ying Xiaoyou was lying quietly on the ground, and Ying Xiaoyou had long since disappeared.

"Uncle Yingkao! You despicable villain! At this moment, an angry roar followed.

So, the onlookers who were not too big to see the excitement turned their eyes to the direction of Gongsun Zidu, but where was Gongsun Zidu in the car who was still standing just now still with him at this time?

Everyone was stunned, and then suddenly there was a car missing on one side of the long hub? What's going on?

Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, as for the anxious face of the person who bet on the treasure in private, it turned the color of pig liver.

When it comes to this battle for the commander, who will win?

At this time, I am afraid that only Zhao Guogong, who is full of pride, knows.

"Uncle Yingkao!"

On the long street, the heroic grandsons dressed in dark red uniforms attracted the favored eyes of many young girls, but the faces that shook their heartstrings did not hide a huge anger, making him look like an immortal who had lost his normal nature and was running wild.

"Uncle Yingkao, where are you? You come out for me! The grandson squeezed the halberd in his hand and stared around with red eyes.

But at this time, in addition to the surging gazes of those young girls, there was only the sound of the hot wind whistling by in midsummer, where could I find the figure of Uncle Yingkao on the long street?

"Uncle Yingkao, you despicable villain!" Gongsun Sun Zidu had already guessed Ying Xiaoyou's intentions, and knew that he was destined to lose the position of the boss, and the grandson was furious, raised the halberd in his hand and smashed it into a small stall, frightening pedestrians to flee in all directions.

Coincidentally, because I was not worried about today's military ceremony, I was rushing to the direction of Taimiao accompanied by Jing Yu, but for some reason, pedestrians fled in the opposite direction of us with panic on their faces.

Could it be that something happened?

I stood on tiptoe suspiciously and looked at the crowd running in this direction.

One of the women accidentally bumped into me, causing me to stagger several steps and nearly fall to the ground.

"Girl, are you alright?" Feather held me up in time, and put the hilt of the sword in her hand in front of the woman who hit me, and scolded, "Are you blind? Don't you have long eyes when you walk? ”

"I'm so sorry for this girl!" The woman immediately apologized, and then immediately ran away after me.

"Hey," I took the opportunity to grab the corner of the woman's clothes, looked at the crowd rushing towards me, and wondered, "What happened up front, why are you all so flustered?" ”

The woman pulled the corner of her clothes out of my hand with palpitations, and said angrily, "It's not a big celebrity in Zheng Guo yet, Doctor Gongsun!" He's crazy, he's slashing people with a halberd! Girl, if you want to go in that direction, then I advise you not to go! ”

With that, the woman shook her head helplessly, turned around and ran away.

I froze where I was.

What do you mean that Dr. Gongsun is crazy and is slashing people around with a halberd? Could it be that there is a change in today's military recruitment?

"Girl! Look! ”

At this moment, the feather suddenly screamed in my ear.

I followed her finger and saw that at the end of the long street where the crowd was gradually dispersed, the grandsons in military uniforms were wielding halberds in their hands and wantonly smashing the stalls.

It was as if he had become an angry beast.

Could it really be that something is going on?

I missed a few beats in my heart, and when I reacted, my footsteps were already unconsciously walking in his direction.

"Uncle Yingkao, you despicable villain!" The grandsons roared angrily, and the halberds in their hands split through one stall after another.

"Gongsun!" I shouted.

But now my grandson was facing away from me, and my voice was already drowned out by the unpleasant muffled sound of his halberd and stall being smashed.

"Gongsun!" I hurriedly took a few steps forward behind him, and was about to take his hand.

Behind him, there was a heart-rending scream, "Girl, be careful! ”

The screeching sound of weapons ringing in my ears...

By the time I came to my senses, there was a cold blade on my head.

"Sultan?" The grandson holding the halberd looked at me with a hideous face, and then quickly threw the halberd in his hand aside.

The dark pupils immediately overflowed with a few complicated expressions, among which were doubt, anger, pain, but more often fear.

"Why are you here? Who asked you to come? You don't want to die? His low voice roared at me, and his beautiful features twisted together looked a little weird.

After that scene just now, I only felt like my heart was about to jump out of my throat, so when he yelled at me, my legs involuntarily slumped and fell to the ground.

"Sultan!" The grandson exclaimed in surprise, and caught my sliding body in a panic, and the complicated color in his eyes had already turned into a deep distress with my pale and ugly face.

"What's going on? Why are you so angry? Is something wrong? I leaned into his arms and looked up with an ugly smile.

The grandson was stunned for a moment, and only turned his head away for a moment so that he would not face me.

The voice was quite guilty, "Today, Yingxiaoyou actually entered the palace today, and at this time, the king must have made him the commander-in-chief, I'm sorry, I promised you something for a long time... I still haven't been able to do it! ”

I froze, feeling as if I had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and the taste was very uncomfortable.

After a long time, he raised his hand, grabbed his parted head, made it face me, and smiled, "So, is it because of this that you scared the whole street away today?" ”

"Aren't you angry?" The grandson of the grandson had deep self-reproach in his eyes, "It's all my fault, if I wasn't stupid, if I could have more eyes..."

"Don't say it," I suddenly pulled Gongsun Zidu's head off, and gently dropped a kiss on his eyebrows, and then raised a smile in his stunned gaze, "I thought you were angry because you didn't get the position of manager, and I was thinking of how to persuade you!" ”

"Aren't you angry?" My grandson looked at me stupidly.

"Angry!" I honestly replied, "But what's even more infuriating is the way you casually hurt yourself and others!" Since the handsome position is not a matter of concern to you, why should I still be obsessed? Besides, it's not just you who is the boss to rescue Zhongli Lord! In fact, I thought about it before I came here, it used to be because you had military power and it was not good to leave Xinzheng without permission, but now you are free without military power, and rescuing Zhongli is just around the corner, so you don't have to blame yourself. ”

"Do you really think so?" The grandsons all looked puzzled.

To reassure him, I sneered, "Look at you, like when did I lie to you, and still don't believe me?" ”

The grandsons were silent.

I pulled his palm, which was worn out by holding the halberd too hard, took out the silk handkerchief in my arms and wiped it carefully, "I haven't said you yet, you are obviously an adult, but like a child, you hurt others and yourself at will!" ”

"I'm sorry!" He lowered his eyes like a big kid who had done something wrong.

I smiled on my face, but my heart was very sad.

Although I had expected this result more than a hundred times, I still couldn't accept it after it became a reality in front of my eyes.

What do I do now? Father, he... And what to do? I've been delayed in Zheng for too long, how much time can the people of Chu have left us? I don't really know.
