Outside the Yanmen Pass, the sun is like fire, it is the scorching heat of June, and there is no trace of cool breath in the sky, oppressing everyone to breathe, as if the end of the world is about to end. But seeing the dust on the ancient road, a man rode a horse and whipped up, galloping from far and near. Before reaching the city, he held up the seal letter in his hand and shouted: "The king is in a hurry, open the city gate quickly." The soldiers defending the city did not dare to hesitate when they saw the letter charm, and ordered someone to rush to inform the general and open the city gate to let him go.

The guards had already reported to the general, just waiting for the post guard to turn over and dismount, walk quickly to the camp tent, and see the general kneeling and saying: "The king's secret letter, the general starts reading." The general ordered the guards to take the letter from the comer's hand, remove the fire paint, read it up and down, frowning, and pacing back and forth in the room. Suddenly, another guard came to report: "General Qiyu, a person outside the city asked to see him, saying that he was the general's deceased and came to recognize him." The general wondered, "Have you ever seen this person?" The guard said, "No." The general said, "Bring it to me." The guards were given orders.

The general returned to his throne and collected the letters, and in a moment he saw the man come in a light step. But seeing that this person was coarse and gray, dressed without restraint, but delicate and graceful, he saw the general and said: "Xiaosheng meets the general."

The general looked at the man: "Just now, you know me, I don't have much impression, who is the next person?"

I saw that the man hesitated slightly, then reached into his arms, took out a piece of jade pendant, held it in front of his palm, and said, "Can the general recognize this piece of jade"?

The general couldn't see it clearly, motioned to the guards to take it, and carefully measured it in his hand, but saw that this jade was crystal clear, and the carving was like a phoenix dancing, which was extremely beautiful, and he saw that the general's face was gloomy and sunny, and suddenly his palm was reversed, and he held the beautiful jade in his hand, and said sharply: "Who are you, where did you steal this jade, and quickly recruit it from the truth"!

The man didn't expect the general to react like this, and responded: "This jade is originally a small thing, why should it be stolen from somewhere else"!

The general obviously didn't believe it, and shouted: "You dare to quibble, if you don't tell the truth, you don't want to get out of here half a step today", and said sideways: "Come on, take down this person"!

As soon as the words fell, two guards stepped forward with swords, and the man saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Wait", seeing that the guards had to stop for the time being, he said: "How can the general believe in Xiaosheng"!

The general said: "Tell me the origin of your name, what is the purpose of coming here?"

I saw that the man pondered for a moment, and said: "Xiaosheng Xinzu, ten days ago, I was ordered by the master to come down the mountain, and before leaving, the teacher gave me this jade, if the general sees this jade, he will recognize it, and I don't know why I will anger the general"!

The general said, "Oh, who is your master?"

The man said: "Xiaosheng Mentor Dao Guiguzi"!

The general was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Is the Venerable Master Mr. Guigu?

The man: "Exactly"!

The general looked at the man carefully for a long time, his expression was in a trance, and he said to himself: "It turned out to be the disciple of the old man, no wonder it seems to be familiar", he had already walked down the platform, paced towards the man, walked to the man's side, looked at the man for a long time, and said: "But I have grown so big, I can't think of a farewell for more than ten years, and I can see you again today", seeing that the person had a suspicious face, he said: "Is the respected teacher okay"?

The man said, "The tutor is very good. ”

The general said in a humming voice: "The honorable master drove you here, but there are orders"?

The man said: "Indeed, this time I went down the mountain, and my master specially ordered me to tell the general, 'I will attack every time, and retreat if I open it.'"

The general said: "What does this mean"?

The man said: "The family teacher did not elaborate, but said that when the time comes, the general will know."

The general said: "Since this is the case, you should keep it in mind."

The man said: "Xiaosheng has something to solve, and I ask the general to teach me"!

The general said, "Just say it."

The man said: "I heard that the general knew Xiaosheng in the past, Xiaosheng didn't remember, and please tell him what happened."

The general was suspicious: "There is such a thing, you really don't know who you are"?

The man said: "Forgive me, general, I really don't know."

The general said: "For so many years, the Venerable Master has never told you what happened back then?"

The man said: "When I was born on the mountain, in addition to studying, I also asked my master many times about his life experience, and the master only said that if he met a general one day, he would know, and when he went down the mountain, he did not tell him. I am fortunate to meet the general today, and I hereby ask you."

The general paced with his hands around his hands, seeing that the man's words were sincere, not like a lie, and said: "In this way, the respected teacher is far-sighted, and he should have deep meaning." I saw that the general's eyes were confused, his throat squirmed, and he said: "In this case, now that you have grown up, I will tell you about the past." The general motioned for the man to sit down, ordered the wine to be fetched, filled the glass, and said slowly.

The general said: "Since Pangu opened the world, after three emperors and five emperors, and even Xia Shang, Xia Wei was brutal, Cheng Tang was punished, Shang had no way, King Wu was destroyed, and the Zhou Dynasty was established. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, King Wu was benevolent and benevolent, made great efforts, and was assisted by good ministers and virtuous ministers, singing and dancing in the domain, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The Zhou room is in decline, the Son of Heaven is dim, the princes are in a crowd, the beacon fire is smoking, and the people are miserable."

The man said: "Xiaosheng has long heard that the Zhou royal family has declined, it exists in name only, and the world has been in war for a long time, but it has only suffered thousands of innocent people."

The general invited the man to have a drink, and continued: "Sir has a big heart, cares about the people of the world, and is worthy of being the queen of the emperor."

The man exclaimed, "How do you say that?"

The general said: "Don't hide it, Jun is a descendant of Uncle Zhou, surnamed Ji Mingzong, and also called Xinzu."

The man said in a trembling voice: "The general's words are true, Xiaosheng never knew it"!

The general said: "This is the case, sir must believe it."

The man said: "Since I am the king of Zhou, why have I stayed on the mountain since I remembered, let alone contacted the powerful people, and the family teacher only called me Xinzu, and I didn't know the name of Ji Zong"?

The general said: "After the king is the king, he is the descendant of the Guigu, which has twists and turns, and has experienced many hardships."

The man said, "I would like to hear the details of the general."

The general said: "After many years, I am afraid that I will touch Mr. sad."

The man said: "It's important, but it's okay to talk about it."

The general wandered two steps, and said sadly: "Okay", and said quietly: "It was sixteen years ago, the king of Qin had no faith, and held Zhou Tianzi hostage to order the princes, wanting to replace Zhou, and the king of Zhou also swore to die, and secretly ordered the princes to crusade against the traitorous Qin, the king of Qin learned the information, was furious, transferred the close relatives of the king of Zhou, and sent a large number of assassins to secretly kill the Zhou family", relieved his mind and said:" That night it was snowing heavily, the Qin soldiers broke into the palace of the king of Zhou, slaughtered hundreds of people in the palace, the queen barely fought a bloody way under the protection of dozens of loyal ministers and dead soldiers, and fled in a hurry, running all the way for three days and nights, the Qin soldiers also chased after each other, intercepted and killed the queen on the shore of Lushui, although there were dozens of masters desperately protecting the queen, but the Qin soldiers were many and fierce, and they were outnumbered and the whole army was annihilated. You had just turned three years old that year, and you couldn't talk or remember things, and you had a poor life."

When Ji Zong heard about the killing, his expression trembled, and he came to his senses for a long time, and sobbed: "It turns out that my relatives died early, not because I abandoned me, but because I hated the Qin people for being cruel, I didn't know what my parents looked like, and I failed to fulfill my filial piety and enjoy the joy of family."

The general said: "I was ordered to protect your mother and son, but I was a step late, and the queen protected her life and entrusted you to me before she died.

Ji Zong said gloomily: "Don't blame yourself, the general saves my life, it is already a great grace, this kind of kindness, it is difficult to repay the broken bones, if you have an order, you will not hesitate to go to the soup and the fire."

The general said: "Mr. is serious, he failed to save the life of his family, and he is often restless, how dare he ask for returns."

Ji Zong said: "The general's great kindness, only keep it in mind and repay it in the future", paused and said: "I don't know who the person who ordered the general to go to the rescue back then, and he will thank him in person."

The general's face was embarrassed, and he said: "This person has an appointment, I can't tell you, Mr. forgive me."

Ji Zong said: "The general has concerns, and it is inconvenient to ask again."

The general said: "I hope Mr. will not be overly sad, it has already been here, it cannot be changed, and the mourning will change."

Ji Zong said: "The general does not have to worry, life and death have a fate, wealth is in the sky, I have listened to the master's teachings since I was a child, and I have long been accustomed to living alone.

The general said: "Mr. is not informal, and shows great righteousness."

Ji Zongdao: "The general has won the award, but Xiaosheng is confused, and I hope the general will answer"!

The general said, "Say it."

Ji Zongdao: "Since the general saved my life, why didn't I see the general in the past, but I grew up with my mentor so far?"

The general sighed and said, "Although I saved you from the enemy at that time, but you have been invaded by the evil spirit, and it is really difficult to live, but fortunately, many years ago, I obtained the spiritual treasure jade, and I specialized in evil qi, so I continued my life with you......"

The man interjected: "Could it be the piece of jade in the general's hand"?

The general said: "Not bad", spread out his palm, put the beautiful jade in front of the two, and said: "It is you who brought this piece of jade, this jade is rare in the world, and it is the only one in the world today, when I got this jade by chance, and I have always treasured it with me until I met you that day", picked up the man's right hand, put the beautiful jade gently in his palm, and said: "I blamed Mr. just now, I hope Mr. will not blame", and then said to himself: "At that time, your life was in danger, even if the spirit jade protects the body, it is also an expedient measure, and under serious injury, send you Guigu to heal." After that, King Zhao ordered me to leave, and I handed you over to Mr. Guigu, and we have never seen each other again."

Ji Zongdao: "I see, the master saved my life, I only know it today, and taught me skills, taught me ethics, and recreated with grace," and presented the beautiful jade in front of the general, and said: "Since it is the general's thing, I was given a generous gift by the general in the past, and I hope it will not be too late to return it today."

The general pushed: "Since it was given to you, it is destined for you, why should it be returned."

Ji Zong bowed again: "I deserve it."

The general said: "When Mr. sees him like this, I am not pleased, and I will definitely accept it."

Ji Zong bowed three times and said, "Since the general insists on giving it away, but it is disrespectful", he had to accept the jade into his arms.

The general thought for a while, and said slowly: "More than 20 years ago, I was fortunate to be taught by Mr. Guigu for more than a year, and gave me a peerless military book, but Mr. Guigu always refused to accept me as an apprentice, there is really a master-apprentice feeling, but there is no difference between master and apprentice, it is a pity", and said: "Since I said goodbye to you that day, I have also visited Mr. Guigu many times, but I have not been able to get what I wanted, and many accidents have been mixed up so far."

Ji Zongdao: "Over the years, the teacher often mentions the general, praises the general for being smart and diligent, modest and studious, and hears that the general has achieved fame, loves the people like a son, and benefits the people, and the feeling of relief is overflowing, which shows that the teacher likes the general very much, and I also admire the general very much, but I don't know why the teacher does not see the general."

The general said: "Mr. Guigu is a master in the world, he is kind to me, he admires me very much, he doesn't accept me as a disciple, he has his own special reason, and I don't dare to bear it."

Ji Zong saw that the general's face showed full regret, and continued: "The general and I already have a brotherhood, if you don't dislike it, we will become brothers, and General Gao Pan will be my brother."

The general said happily: "Very good, you and I are in love, as soon as I see each other, I am also a long time old, so I am commensurate with brothers." Picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Xian has made this glass."

Ji Zong hurriedly picked up the wine glass and touched it, and the two drank it all.

The general said: "Over the years, Mr. Guigu has accepted apprentices."

Ji Zongdao: "For more than ten years, the master has not accepted any more apprentices."

The general said: "The virtuous brother has the true inheritance of the Guigu, the future is unlimited, what are your plans for the future?"

Ji Zong said: "Fluctuating, I don't know where to go," speculated about the general's invitation, and said: "When I first arrived, the younger brother saw that his brother had an anxious look on his face, and he didn't know what was on his brother's mind"?

The general sighed, took out the letter and handed it to Ji Zong to read, and said: "Just now my king has a letter, the Qin soldiers broke Chili and Yi'an, and approached the capital Handan, the situation is critical, the king is trapped, and he ordered the foolish brother to quickly send back troops for reinforcements."

Ji Zong said: "On the way here, the younger brother has seen the fierce Qin soldiers, and even heard that the King of Qin is arrogant, what is the brother's plan?"

The general said: "The king has an order, and he has to go, but the Hu people in the north are cruel and vicious, and they have repeatedly violated our border, and once they leave, I don't know how many people have died at the hands of the Huns."

Ji Zongdao: "Although the younger brother has been in the mountains before, he has not been involved in the world, but he has listened to the master to tell the world everything, for decades, the Huns are afraid of the prestige of their brother, and they dare not come to attack for a long time, the Qin army is the division of tigers and wolves, fierce and fierce, and must be guarded against."

The general said: "That's right, the king of Qin is arrogant, his subordinates are fierce and wise, our strength is weak, the virtuous brother has just arrived, if there is nothing else important, help me, and destroy the Western Qin with me, so as to take revenge and hatred, but I wish."

Ji Zongdao: "The hatred of the country and the family will be avenged after all, but the younger brother is only shallow in learning, and he is only afraid of dragging the elder brother down."

The general said: "Brother Xian is modest, take this opportunity, and have a good experience, you and my brother often get together, and drink and talk, isn't it beautiful."

Ji Zong thought that he had no relatives in the world, no one to rely on, and his teacher was not around, so he had nowhere to go, so he said: "Brother is very loving, flattered, since this is the case, it is inconvenient to refuse."

The general said: "This is very good, without further ado, the virtuous brother and I will leave in the near future."

Ji Zongdao: "That's right."

The general said: "The virtuous brother came from afar, the foolish brother should have been well entertained, and took the virtuous brother to enjoy the exotic scenery, but the war was urgent, and he didn't dare to delay, I was afraid that he was powerless, and the virtuous brother was not strange."

Ji Zongdao: "The eldest brother has seen the outside, the eldest brother works day and night on state affairs, worrying about the country and the people, so you don't have to worry about such trivial things."

The general sighed with emotion: "I wish there would be peace in the world, and everyone would be at ease", got up and looked out the window, and said: "It's not too early, the virtuous brother will rest for the time being, and talk about it another day."

Ji Zong said: "Everything is under the orders of the eldest brother."

The two drank the residual wine in the cup, and it was late outside the window, and the moon and stars were scarce. The general arranged Ji Zong's residence, and the two said goodbye.

This person is Zhao's famous general Li Mu, when the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was born, the princes rose together, the countries were in turmoil for many years, they annexed each other and tore each other, small countries were destroyed, and the Qin State was the most powerful. The king of Qin was destroyed for two weeks and moved to Jiuding, leaving only the six eastern kingdoms to survive, namely Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei. The Six Kingdoms joined forces to resist Qin, and Qin even fell horizontally, and the Six Kingdoms gradually collapsed, and the determination of the King of Qin to win the world became increasingly obvious.

Since the Qin general Wu Anjun Bai Qichangping defeated the Zhao army, killed 400,000 soldiers, and severely damaged the main force of the Zhao State, the Zhao State collapsed, and after decades of recovery, there was a slight improvement. Zhao is located in the northern part of the Central Plains, often harassed by the Xiongnu, and there are more Western Qin tigers, and the king of Zhao sent Li Mu to guard the border. Within a few years, Li Mu defeated the Xiongnu in succession, causing the Xiongnu to be frightened and dare not attack. Later, Lü Buwei was the king of Qin, and Fu Yingzheng was the king of Qin, and the king of Qin was both long, and he knew the power scheme, that is, he was pro-government, killed Chang Yu, and forced his middle father Lü Buwei to death, so he was in power. The King of Qin was ambitious and launched wars for many years, intending to destroy the six kingdoms of SD and enjoy the world.
