"Have you found it all out?"

In Shouchun City, late at night, in a mansion, Xiao Gu turned around and looked at the men in cloth clothes behind him.

These more than ten people are all the henchmen of Xiao Gu, and their status was extremely humble before, if they hadn't met Xiao Gu, or they had already lost where they had died, and they had been favored by Xiao Gu, these people did not need to doubt their loyalty, even if Xiao Gu let them die, they would not hesitate.

"My lord, it's all clear!"

A man stepped forward, holding a roll of bamboo slips in both hands, and handed it to Xiao Gu.

This is the granary built secretly by the Chu State after the autumn harvest, and some of the scholars secretly seek personal gain.

Xiao Gu looked at the record in the bamboo slip and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since getting the bamboo slips sent by his little nephew, Xiao Gu has secretly ordered people to privately contact the scholars written in the bamboo slips, as well as the generals in the army with names and surnames, and those people have a common characteristic, when they were fighting for the king of Chu, they more or less secretly betrayed Xiong Chengshu and Jing Qi.

Almost everyone knows how ruthless Jing Qi's methods are, even the Li Yuan clan and the Empress Dowager Chu dare to exterminate the clan, those who have betrayed Xiong Cheng and Jing Qi naturally know what the consequences will be after the matter is exposed.

Coupled with the promise of the little nephew in the bamboo slip, it is not difficult to buy those people in private.

And just in case, Xiao Gu never showed up, and never let those people know that he was behind the scenes.

Come to the wooden frame.

Xiao Gu took out two other rolls of bamboo slips from the wooden frame and came to the two servants.

"Leave Shouchun overnight, send it to Qufu, and hand it over to Bai Yan!"

Xiao Gu looked at Hu Cong and whispered.

"No!"

The two Hu took the bamboo slips from both hands, and after receiving the order, they turned around and left the study with the others.

Inside the study.

Xiao Gu stood quietly in place by candlelight, thinking.

"Extinguish Chu!"

Xiao Gu didn't relax for long as Zhu Jian left, and then showed a trace of worry.

After learning of the little nephew's intentions, Xiao Gu was shocked, and it is estimated that everyone did not expect that the purpose of the little nephew to lead the army of Qin and attack Qufu was not to simply occupy the city, but to destroy all the big granaries of Chu after cutting off the border between Chu and Qi.

Grain!

This is the way for the little nephew to destroy Chu.

At present, Xiao Gu knows that with the autumn harvest, the little nephew will definitely start to prepare to burn down as many granaries as possible, and with the bamboo slips, as well as the little nephew's promise to those scholars, Xiao Gu is not worried about the success of the matter, what Xiao Gu is really worried about is that the little nephew's actions are tantamount to putting the Chu State in a desperate situation.

And the army of Chu that fell into it at that time will use all its strength to attack Qufu and open up the junction between Chu and Qi.

Xiao Gu is now a confidant of the Xiang family and the Qu family, and he, who is often in contact with Jing Qi and Xiang Yan, clearly knows that the little nephew's approach will usher in the anger of Xiang Yan and Jing Qi in the future.

"Yingzheng, don't be like King Zhao, ungrateful and unrighteous!"

Xiao Gu thought of the matter of the fake tripod and said softly.

Xiaogu, who is from Linzi in Qi State and was pulled by his mother since he was a child, also came out of the village by chance and came to Chu State, so Xiaogu knows that today's little nephew has already done Fengqing's worship, in Shuicun, and those who see an official who manages several townships, that is, the village of big people, the status that the little nephew now has, is something that everyone doesn't even dare to have.

The little nephew's words that his mother was once ridiculed by the villagers are no longer a joke, and even if the little nephew retires immediately, he will not live up to this life.

Right now, what worries him the most is that, as others say, Ying Zheng is a prince who has little kindness.

And the last person who was said like this by the world was the monarch of Qin, King Qin Zhaoxiang, at that time Bai Qi was a great military exploit for the Qin State, and the territory was wide, and after King Qin Zhaoxiang demoted Bai Qi to a concubine, he still wanted to kill Bai Qi, and he couldn't even leave his life.

Even the Qin people knew that it was not their crime to die in vain.

What Xiao Gu is most worried about is that the little nephew followed a ruthless and unrighteous king, even if he smeared his liver and brain for the Qin State, and sacrificed himself to die to destroy Chu, in the end, it was difficult to end well, as Fan Li wrote to Wen Chong in ancient times: The birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the dog cooks.

Recalling the little nephew's evaluation of Ying Zheng in the past, Xiao Gu has never seen Ying Zheng, but this time, if Ying Zheng is unkind and unjust, and he is punished because of the fake Ding matter, there is no need for Jing Qi to see them, Xiao Gu himself will personally go to see the little nephew, and let the little nephew resign immediately.

"Counting it up, the matter of the fake tripod should not be more than two or three days, and the news will come back!"

Xiao Gu frowned, turned his head sideways, and looked at the small candle flame burning slightly on the candlelight.

Recalling that when prospect Qi and others planned the fake tripod, there were only King Chu, Xiang Yan, and Jing Qi...... Few people know, not even Xiang Liang, the children of the Xiang family, and the children of the Qu family.

He didn't know whether to be happy or worried about his little nephew.

From this incident, it can be seen how much the most powerful and highest-ranking people in the Chu State attach great importance to their little nephews.

When I was a child, I thought of my little nephew who lived in Water Village, and I thought of what my little nephew looked like at that time.

Xiao Gu never imagined at that time that the child who was wearing torn clothes and following behind his back would one day become the enemy general of Chu and Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State, and even the hundred officials of Chu State all day long.

Next.

In Shouchun City, Xiao Gu, who was wearing the official uniform of the Chu State, walked out of the palace with his colleagues after going down to the court, and was about to leave in a carriage when he saw a servant coming over.

"My lord! General Xiang Liang has returned to the mansion, and now he is drinking in the mansion with Qu Chao and other gentlemen, and he specially invites the adults to the banquet! ”

It is not the first time that Hu Cong has come to invite Xiao Gu, in the past few years, Xiang Liang has almost returned to Shouchun, and he will invite Xiao Gu to drink and have fun.

"Good!"

Seeing this, Koya nodded.

After bidding farewell to his colleagues, Xiao Gu took a carriage and drove all the way to Xiang Liang's mansion.

The Xiang clan has a very large fief in the Chu State, and Xiang Yan is also a general of the Chu State, so the Xiang clan not only has official positions, but also has wealth far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

When he came to Xiang Liang's mansion, Xiao Gu walked into the mansion with a familiar car, and soon came to the main hall.

When Xiao Gu followed the servant and came to the main hall, as soon as he entered, he saw more than a dozen beautiful female musicians with thin waists, dancing the dance of the Chu Kingdom.

Under the guidance of the servant, Xiao Gu came to the wooden table that had long been vacant, and the wooden table was not on the top of it, but in the first row to the right of Xiang Liang's main seat.

One can imagine how much Xiang Liang trusts Xiao Gu.

"Brother Gu! How, this is this time, the new female music!"

Xiang Liang, who was kneeling in the position of the main house above, looked at Xiao Gu who bowed his hand, turned sideways slightly, separated by a considerable distance, and teased at Xiao Gu, his eyes were full of smiles.

In the state of Chu, the life of the children of the scholar clan was unimaginably extravagant.

For example, there are no less than ten wives and concubines in Xiang Liang's family, but Xiang Liang is still addicted to female music, and not only Xiang Liang, but almost all the children of the scholar clan are like this.

Although many female musicians are a little worse than their wives and concubines in terms of appearance, they still have a special attraction and freshness for men, and for a person as capable as Xiang Liang, female musicians will soon be replaced, or raised in captivity and given away......

In the concubine room of Xiao Gu, a woman with an extremely beautiful appearance was a gift specially given by Xiang Liang to Xiao Gu, and many of the children of the scholar clan were moved when they saw the woman, and there were many brothers who did not hesitate to open their mouths to Xiang Liang, but they were all rejected by Xiang Liang one by one.

"Excellent!"

Xiao Gu listened to Xiang Liang's words, turned his head to look at the appearance and posture of the female musicians, and finally nodded at Xiang Liang.

It's no wonder that Xiang Liang showed off as soon as he saw the arrival of Xiao Gu, these female musicians and their postures were eye-catching.

Between words.

Xiao Gu also noticed that the man named Song Jin in the middle position opposite, looking at a female musician with obsessive eyes.

It's a pity that when Xiang Yan arranged this Song Jin to Xiang Liang, he only informed him about the fake ding, otherwise Xiao Gu knew the origin of this man in advance, and he would not have let Song Jin live here.

Inside the main hall.

Xiang Liang naturally also noticed Xiao Gu's eyes, and turned his head to look at that Song Jin, for that Song Jin, the person he didn't like the most should be Xiang Liang.

Compared with his best friend Xiao Gu, in the past few years, Xiao Gu has already been a frequent visitor to the mansion, and when Xiao Gu didn't come here, he was polite, and many times, Xiang Liang pretended to be angry, and Xiao Gu didn't practice those cumbersome etiquette.

This Song Jin is good, living in the mansion for two days, he privately eyebrows with his concubine, and after learning that he doesn't love that concubine very much, he shamelessly begged him to give that concubine.

This made Xiang Liang especially angry, although he really didn't care much about the little concubine, but it was not the turn of a Song Jin to ask for it.

At that time, if he hadn't remembered his father's instructions, if he hadn't thought of the fake ding, Xiang Liang couldn't wait to cook Song Jin directly.

looked at that Song Jin.

Thinking that his father had said that he would kill him later, Xiang Liang could only scold secretly at the moment, and turned his head to continue to talk to Xiao Gu.

Just in front of the wooden table in the valley, in the middle of the wooden table of the guest of honor in the main hall, several maids with thin waists quietly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and took a dagger from a small bronze tripod, cut off a piece of meat from the food inside, and from the small bronze tripod on the side, filled the sauce with meat.

Wine and meat were presented to the wooden table in front of him.

There are also slight differences between the dining methods of the Chu people and the vassal states of the Central Plains, just as the Chu people like to worship in the dark.

"Adult !!"

Suddenly, just as everyone in the main hall was admiring the female music, and their eyes kept wandering on the woman's body, just as Xiang Liang, who was sitting in the main seat, was talking to Xiao Gu, a servant hurriedly took a roll of bamboo slips, bypassed the female music, and presented it to Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang frowned slightly when he saw the appearance of the servant, after all, during the banquet, Xiang Liang did not like to be disturbed by affairs, so there was generally no major event, and the servant did not dare to disturb him.

With doubts, Xiang Liang picked up the bamboo slip, slowly opened it, and looked at the contents of the bamboo slip.

The next moment, Xiang Liang's face changed greatly, and he got up directly angrily.

This made Xiao Gu on the side, and other men who appreciated female music, startled, and even female music was at a loss and stood in place in fear.

However, Xiang Liang didn't seem to notice it at all, and the whole person held the bamboo slip without saying a word.

"Go down!"

Xiao Gu looked at Xiang Liang's stunned appearance, and seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he turned his head and said to a maid, and asked the maid to take all the female music away.

"But what happened?"

Xiao Gu looked at Xiang Liang at this time, and when the words fell, he saw Xiang Liang turn his head to look at Song Jin with a pale face, and asked with a frown.

When Xiang Liang heard Xiao Gu's words, he didn't say anything, but handed the bamboo slip to Xiao Gu.

After Xiao Gu took the bamboo slip, he looked like it, when he saw the content in it, it was sent by Xianyang of Qin State, his expression immediately became serious, Xiao Gu didn't expect that the news would be much faster than he expected.

However, when he saw the news inside, he froze in place.

It's not a fake tripod???

Xiao Gu was stunned, and when he saw the news in the bamboo slip, he was completely stunned.

The big tripod sent from Pengcheng to Xianyang is not a fake tripod, but a ...... The real Kyushu Ding !!

It can't be, the plan for the little nephew has obviously been properly handled, from looking for the ding, to releasing the news, and the little nephew suddenly took Peng Cheng from Huang Ye, which scared Xiang Yan, Jing Qi and others, and in addition to being shocked, they also confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the matter.

What's more......

Xiao Gu couldn't help but look at Song Jin in the distance, even the only living mouth, Song Jin had already been sent here, and it was confirmed later that he saw the little nephew salvaged from Surabaya Song Ding.

Why? Now it's said that the big tripod is really the Kyushu tripod?

Xiao Gu, who couldn't figure it out, hurriedly continued to look back at the bamboo slips, ignoring Song Jin, who was already a little drunk and was stared at by Xiang Liang.

A few breaths later.

When Xiao Gu saw the detailed record of the bamboo slip, his eyes widened, and his stunned gaze contained disbelief.

It was found from under the root of a giant tree that was forty years old!

And the cause is actually because......

Little nephew's dream!

Xiao Gu looked at the bamboo slips, and the more he looked at them, the more confused he became, and the more he looked at them, the more dumbfounded he became.

……………………

Shouchun Palace.

Xiao Gu hurriedly followed Xiang Liang out of the carriage and walked towards the palace, but before he could enter the palace, he heard the carriage coming at a gallop behind him, and the sound of the horseman about to stop at an emergency stop.

The two turned their heads to look and saw that on the carriage, Yin Quluan on the right stepped out of the carriage.

"Right Yin!"

"Right Yin!"

Seeing Qu Luan, Xiao Gu and Xiang Liang stopped one after another, turned around and saluted the right Yin Qu Luan.

Among the official positions of the Chu State, Ling Yin is equivalent to the minister of other countries, and the left Yin and the right Yin are Ling Yin's right and left hands, although the power is checked and balanced, but the right to speak and the status are still very high.

Otherwise, Qu Luan's son Qu Yi was murdered in the Qin State before, and the Qin State would not have attached so much importance to it.

"Lord Xiao, General Xiang Liang!"

Qu Luan was no stranger to Xiao Gu and Xiang Liang when he saw him, and they all returned the salute.

The three of them knew why they came, so they didn't say much to each other, and after a brief greeting, they walked towards the palace together.

In the main hall of the royal palace.

When Xiao Gu, Xiang Liang, and Qu Luan came to the main hall, they saw that many ministers of the Chu State were already waiting in the palace.

"Didn't you say that the big ding that Bai Yan sent was fake?"

"Yes! Especially the orphan of the Song family, a person named Song Jin, also stood up in person to testify against Bai Yan. ”

"What's going on? Now let King Qin win the government and get the Kyushu Ding inherited from ancient times! ”

At a glance, many officials and ministers were whispering.

Xiao Gu followed Xiang Liang all the way to the old but still burly Xiang Yan.

"Father!"

"Pillar Country!"

Xiang Liang and Xiao Gu saluted Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan, who was talking to Jing Qi at this moment, had a very good face, and Jing Qi needless to say, his face was gloomy, obviously after the two of them got the news, they both knew what this represented behind it.

"Song Jin can be in the house?"

When Xiang Yan saw Xiang Liang coming, she asked in a low voice.

"Father, rest assured, the child hasn't killed this person yet!"

When Xiang Liang heard Song Jin, his eyes showed a touch of happiness, when he came, he had already ordered someone to arrest Song Jin and the concubine, and now they are locked up in the mansion and strictly guarded.

If Song Jin is useless in the future, Xiang Liang will use the anger that is still in his heart during this period of time, so that Song Jin can't survive and die.

"Father, is that Bai Yan really the Kyushu Ding he found because of a dream?"

Xiang Liang looked at his father Xiang Yan and asked suspiciously.

Even now, Xiang Liang can't accept it, obviously he has already been tricked, and there is no mistake in the whole process, Bai Yan actually because of a dream, not only saw through the tripod in Surabaya is a fake tripod, but also searched for a dream to find the real Kyushu tripod.

Xiao Gu on the side, recalling the content of the bamboo slips he saw, also looked at Xiang Yan and Jing Qi with puzzled eyes.

“……”

Xiang Yan heard Xiang Liang's words, he didn't speak, just shook his head slightly, at this time Xiang Yan couldn't believe that there were people in the world who found Kyushu Ding because of a dream.

But whether it is Xun Shuo's words for the world to verify, or the results of the investigation from where Xianyang came, it all indicates that this matter is true.

"We must let the King of Qi win over Bai Yan to return to Qi as soon as possible!"

Jing Qi's eyes are frightening, obviously he doesn't have a hideous appearance, but he is more frightening than those with fierce faces.

But Jing Qi's words surprised Xiang Liang and even Xiang Yan, and they didn't understand why Jing Qi was particularly afraid of Bai Yan since a long time ago, since he went to Yanmen, and this jealousy was the most of all in the Chu State.

Xiao Gu was very curious, what did the little nephew do that could make the ruthless Jing Qi so jealous.

Even said bluntly several times that the strong generals of Qin and the scourge of Chu are either contrived.

In the end, after learning that the little nephew was a Qi person, Jing Qi was also the most eager and persistent person among all to let Bai Yan return to Qi State, and even after the old general Jing Fang was killed by the little nephew's trap, Jing Qi would rather suppress the anger of his clansmen, and still did not support the King of Chu's order to mobilize the army of Chu to attack Bai Yan.

"It's difficult, there is still no news from the Qi State, General Jing Fang was killed, all the ministers and hundreds of officials have already intended to send troops, I'm afraid the king will also ...... this time."

Xiang Yan knew Jing Qi's thoughts, why didn't he want to wait for Bai Yan to return to Qi, but the death of the old general Jing Fang made many people in the Jing family incite hundreds of officials and other scholars, the purpose is to take Bai Yan's life and head to sacrifice the old general Jing Yan.

This Jiuding incident has made Bai Yan's return to Qi far away, and I am afraid that it will not be able to suppress the anger of the Jing family!

Before Xiang Yan's words were finished, he saw a commotion among the hundred officials, and at a glance, he saw that the king of Chu had already walked over from the apse.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan and Jing Qi stopped talking, took Xiang Liang and Xiao Gu, faced the King of Chu, and raised their hands to salute.

"Meet the King!"

"Meet the !! King"

In the main hall, other civil and military officials of the Chu State also saluted the king of Chu together.

"The widow decided to send troops to attack Qin and recapture Qufu!"

The King of Chu walked towards the throne, ignoring Jing Qi's eyes, raised his hand and said to the hundred officials.

Beside the king of Chu, there is also a beautiful beauty, the beauty is wearing Chu clothes, and the beauty of the thin waist is almost rare in the world, and she is the queen of Chu from the Jing family, and she is also a member of Jing Qi's clan.
