Chapter 9: Chaos in the Kingdom

After listening to the report, Liang Defeng and Tian were busy going to the city to take a look. Not far from the city is the Wei River, and on the other side of the Wei River is the Zhao Realm.

Sure enough, there was a group of troops under the banner of Zhao Guo, but the number was not large, about 1,000 people, and they did not cross the river, lined up on the other side of the Wei River, looking this way.

After a while, the Zhao army had no signs of attacking the city, and suddenly withdrew in an orderly manner. Liang Defeng didn't dare to be careless, and he hid behind the battlements and peeped for a long time, before he came down to the city and let Tanma continue to pay attention.

About half a day later, Tanma reported that the army assembled by Zhao had been withdrawn one after another, and only the original defenders remained.

The crisis was temporarily removed, Tian Yi and Tian Banyan talked about the cause of the family, there was a suspicion of poisoning, and they wanted to go to Yan Kingdom.

Near dusk, Tian set up wine, one is Xie Tianyi's clever plan, and the other is to practice for his brothers.

"This retreat, thanks to my ingenuity, with your ability, if you can serve the country, wouldn't it be the luck of the Qi country, but ~~", Tian Pan picked up the wine cup, said halfway, and stopped abruptly.

"You and my brother are rebellious, and you can't go back to your home, how can you serve the country", Tian Yi took the words, picked up the wine cup, and frowned.

"Yes", Tian Ban sighed, looking at Tian Yi's expression, he suddenly remembered, "I forgot that you haven't drunk wine before, you can change the tea."

"What, the man's husband doesn't even know how to drink", Yue'er seemed to have a reason to laugh at Tian Yi at any time.

"What's the big deal about being able to drink, watch me drink it for you", Tian Yi immediately took a sip, a spicy breath rushed straight to his throat and nasal cavity, Tian Yi hurriedly covered his face sideways, and immediately coughed out.

The crescent moon laughed out loud.

Tian Pan also laughed softly: "Brother drink slowly, this drink is not in a hurry."

"This time to go to Yan Kingdom, even if you go through a lot of hardships, swords, mountains and fires, you must find a way to detoxify and relieve you and me from the pain of illness", Tian Yi picked up the wine cup and took a sip, feeling that it was not so spicy, but it was a little sweet.

After drinking a few glasses, Tian Yi only felt that his face was red and his ears were red, and the world was spinning!

Tian Ban saw that Tian Yi was already drunk, and wanted to help Tian Yi return to the account to rest, and the crescent moon said: "The general is afraid that he has military affairs, I will send my junior brother back to the account."

"I~nothing~nothing~~", Tian Yi was already a little slurred.

The two sleeping tents arranged by Tian Pan for the two of them were not far away, the crescent moon helped Tian Yi up, Tian Yi stood up and shook a little, the crescent moon put Tian Yi's left hand on his shoulder, held Tian Yi's right hand with his left hand, and helped Tian Yi to run to the sleeping tent, I don't know if it was because of the wine or the cold, the crescent moon felt that Tian Yi's hand was very hot, holding herself hard, feeling that her heartbeat was a little faster, and she had an indescribable good feeling in her heart.

Tian Yi shook to the door of the dormitory, and saw that there was a light inside, and the light was getting bigger and bigger, turning into a fire, not far from the fire, there was a familiar woman who looked good and was fighting with several soldiers, Tian Yi took a closer look, it was actually his mother Le's, and in an instant his mother was approached by the soldiers.

"Mother", Tian Yi shouted, reached out and grabbed his mother's left hand and pulled it violently, but to no avail, seeing that his mother's body was engulfed in flames, Tian Yi pulled desperately and saw that he was also engulfed in flames, which had burned to his cheeks. Tian Yi sat up violently, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there was a person sitting next to the bed, it was the crescent moon.

"Uncle is so strong, the bones are about to be broken by you", the crescent moon said: "I'm not your mother, don't scream."

Frightened, Tian Yi quickly let go, pondered, and vaguely remembered that it was Yue'er who sent him back to the account: "It turned out to be a nightmare, I'm sorry, Yue'er, you go back to the account to rest, I'm fine, I just feel a little hot in my face."

"It's okay, look at what you drink, your face looks like it's been burned", Crescent Moon smiled and left.

Suddenly hearing an "ah" sound outside the account, the crescent moon got up and saw that the sky was already bright. Listening to the sound is the direction of Tian Yi's bed, the crescent moon hurried to Tian Yi's bed, and Tian heard the sound.

I saw Tian Yi's face red and swollen, and he screamed in pain. Yueya'er hurriedly took the pill given by Senior Brother Ji Yue and gave it to Tian Yi to take: "What's the matter?" Tian Yi took the pill, did not answer, and fell asleep again.

About two hours later, Tian Yi woke up, and the two of them stepped forward to take a look, and they were amazed.

I saw that the redness and swelling on Tian Yi's face had faded, but his face was much younger, no longer an old man, but a middle-aged man.

"I'm scared to death as a brother," Tian Pan said worriedly.

The crescent moon stepped forward to take Tian Yi's pulse, but there was no vision.

Tian Yi got up, stretched his legs and feet, and said, "Brother is worried, I'm fine, but I feel stronger than before."

"It seems that it is disturbed by the strength of alcohol and nightmares, which causes some poisonous gas in the heart to travel to the skin, and it seems to have dissipated", the crescent moon saw that Tian Yi was fine, and the hanging heart was put down, and began to tease Tian Yi again, "It seems that you can't call me uncle in the future, let's call me uncle instead."

After confirming that Tian Yi was in good health, the two brothers said goodbye.

Tian Yi and Yue'er agreed to enter the Yan together. It is said that the road directly to the north is closer, and Yueya'er knows that Tian Yi will never be able to let go of his family and country in his heart.

In a blink of an eye, I arrived at Dongpingling, and once again returned to my familiar hometown.

In the east of the city, Tian Yi and Crescent Moon led their horses slowly, and the cold wind blew the dry branches and sparse weeds, making people feel particularly desolate.

"There used to be springs everywhere here, the scenery was beautiful, and the people were outstanding," Tian Yi recalled, closing his eyes, and then opening his eyes, "but now there has been no spring water for three years, the grass and trees are withering, and the country is weak and has no family."

Yue'er looked at the sad Tian Yi and didn't know how to persuade him.

"When the spring water regains and the earth rejuvenates, I will definitely take you to see it again," Tian Yi continued.

The crescent moon let out a "hmm" and didn't say anything more.

Qi Wangcheng Linzi

Seeing that the Marquis of Pingling forced the palace to fail and was sent to the prison, Gongsun Guxia returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, suddenly sitting, pacing back and forth, not thinking about tea and dinner, and worried.

After holding the lamp, most of the officials in the DPRK and China came to ask for a meeting, and Gongsun Gu gathered all the ministers to sit in the hall to discuss the great changes in the DPRK and China, and everyone had different opinions. Gongsun Gu was silent, allowing the ministers to discuss, what he said was nothing more than the fall of the Marquis of Pingling, no one could compete with Xiangguo, personal gains and losses, etc., and there were very few ministers who talked about the fortunes of Qi State.

Gongsun Gu listened quietly, and seemed to think of something in his heart.

The next day, the court discussed politics, and Dali Zhengqing reported that the Marquis of Pingling had not been arraigned and had died in prison.

Qi Wanglei sighed, ordered a thick burial, and did not erect a monument.

Gongsun Gu recommended Tian Ken as the general, and after discussion among the ministers, the king of Qi ordered Tian Ken to temporarily act as the general, Tian Mo as the deputy general and assistant, and Tian Mo, the eldest son of Tian Mo, the former deputy commander of the brigade Benwei, was promoted to the position of commander.

After the court, the ministers waited for Gongsun Valley to go first, but they saw Gongsun Valley running to the pillar of the hall, and the ministers were puzzled, only to see Gongsun Valley turning left and right around the big pillar, walking and stopping, as if looking for something.

Seeing this, Tian Mo stepped forward and asked, "Lord Xiangguo, what have you lost, and you are looking for it here."

Gongsun Gu turned around, "The Marquis of Pingling laughed, how could the old man lose his belongings here and return to his house."

Tian Moyan said: "The Marquis of Pingling is deceased, how can you call it like this, Xiangguo should go this way when he returns to his house", he pointed to the door of the main hall casually, "but I don't know why I am looking for a way here in the temple pillar."

Gongsun Gu settled down, looked at the door of the palace, and said: "Although the old man is nearly eighty years old, he is not old and confused", and said that he threw his sleeves and ran to the door of the hall, and all the ministers were shocked and did not dare to say more.

After the Dongping Tomb, not far from the royal city of Linzi.

Walking on the street, I saw that there were people discussing, and when I walked up, I heard some people say: "Gongsun Xiangguo is old and has been chaotic."
