13, bad girl
"I wonder what it tastes like to be a concubine...is it also so delicious?"
The handsome man wearing a black silk robe and a crown on his head chuckled lightly, "Bang -" he pressed Qi Lu onto the thatched couch and slowly lowered his head...
Suddenly the bloody mouth opened, like a mutation in a zombie movie, and it suddenly bit Qi Lu's neck!
"Hiss..." Qi Lu groaned lowly and suddenly struggled out of the nightmare, covered in cold sweat. Because it was a dream, his neck didn't hurt, but his arms felt a slight stinging pain. He nodded.
Look, it’s the son of a dog!
The little native dog was still immersed in sleep, lying on its side next to Qi Lu, also crowded on the thatched couch, holding Qi Lu's arm with its two short little paws, and grinding its teeth with Qi Lu's arm...
Qi Lu looked at the time and saw that today was the day to send off his bride. He quickly turned over and sat down, put on the young concubine's robe that he had received yesterday, went out and fetched some water, and washed his face with some cool water.
, I woke up a lot in an instant.
When Prince Lin stood up, Qi Lu had transformed from a mere petty official into a young concubine of the Zheng Kingdom. The young concubine's outfit was so unique. When Qi Lu put on such a set of clothes, he instantly made his figure appear taller.
He was slender, with a slender waist tied by a belt, and a gentle and handsome temperament came to his face. If Qi Lu didn't speak, he would just stand upright like this, and he would look like an elegant person.
If Qi Lu opens his mouth...
Prince Lin inexplicably thought of Qi Lu's "fishing in troubled waters" in front of Ji Zhong, and how he made Ji Zhong's face turn red with shame, and used his empty hand to get a house out of thin air. He couldn't help but feel that his head was hurting.
He rubbed his short little paws.
Qi Lu tidied up his clothes. He didn't have a mirror at home, and he didn't care about appearance, as long as he looked decent. He immediately picked up the little local dog, left the house, and rushed to the gate of Lao Zheng City.
The little native dog originally thought that Qi Lu would definitely not take his "little dog" with him when Luo Shi went to the Zhou royal family from Zheng. After Qi Lu set off, he would sneak into the team and it would be better to blend in.
A carriage transporting goods, so that we can return to Luoshi safely.
Unexpectedly, Qi Lu acted so unconventionally and had no intention of leaving the little native dog at home. He picked up the little native dog and walked out together.
After all, the family was humble and it didn't matter what he wanted. If Qi Lu really kept the little native dog at home, and the little dog was so small, he would probably starve to death in a few days.
But if you entrust someone else to take care of it...
Qi Lu thought about it carefully. He had just arrived and had no one to entrust to him. Although there were many people fawning over Qi Lu in recent days, most of them were arrogant at first and respectful at the other. They entrusted their dog son to such a person.
People, Qi Lu was afraid that if he walked on his front legs, the little dog would be abused on his back legs. After all, he was a stupid dog and would not complain.
Since Qi Lu has adopted the little local dog, he has to bear this responsibility. After all, it is a life, and it must not be done casually.
The procession of sending off the bride gathered in Old Zhengcheng. Today, on behalf of Zheng Guoguo’s monarch, Wensheng, the ministers of the State of Zheng came to see off the bride in person. Since Zhong was present in person, the procession of seeing off the bride did not dare to neglect and packed up early.
.
When Qi Lu arrived, he saw that the young gentleman Ji was already there, riding on a tall horse, wearing a young concubine's robe that was exactly the same as his own. The one on the other end was handsome and elegant.
The young gentleman saw Qi Lu coming from a distance. When he saw Qi Lu, he felt a little hungry immediately. Because he hadn't eaten his breakfast yet, he thought of the snail noodles and crispy roast goose made by Qi Lu. He always felt that he saw Qi Lu. This person has synesthesia, and has an inexplicable illusion of having all kinds of colors, smells, and flavors...
The young gentleman rode on the white horse, waved his riding whip, and said, "Hey, Qi Lu! What are you looking at? This side!"
Qi Lu saw the little gentleman Ji at a glance, because no matter what clothes he wore, the little gentleman Ji had an innate "nobility". In fact, if Qi Lu said it, it was a kind of coquettishness that leaked out. I can't cover it up no matter what. I wish I could have the word "rich" slapped on my forehead.
Qi Lu hurriedly walked over and looked the young gentleman up and down. He seemed to be stunned by Qi Lu's outfit and said with a smile: "Don't be serious, you wear the clothes of a young concubine, but you look like a human model..."
Before the words "dog-like" could be uttered, the little gentleman immediately opened his eyes wide and stared at the little boy in Qi Lu's arms with a puzzled look on his face. He wished he could cast his eyes on Prince Lin's face and said: "What are you doing holding a dog?!"
Qi Lu smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "If I go back to offer sacrifices to the young gentleman, there is no one in Lu's family. The young gentleman also saw a few days ago that Lü's shed will be blown down by a gust of wind. The puppy may not feel at ease if it is left in the house, so..."
The little gentleman said: "So you just hugged a dog to send your bride off?!"
The young gentleman originally thought that if he let Qi Lu, a smooth-tongued gangster, come to see off his bride, he might hook up with Zheng Ji on the way, but unexpectedly Qi Lu came with a dog in his arms, looking very leisurely and contented.
Qi Lu didn't care about the young gentleman's questioning, and smiled like a spring breeze, saying: "Lu heard that the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne loves hunting, and there happened to be a few hunting dogs in the procession that were preparing to pay tribute..."
This time, the bride-grooming procession departing from the State of Zheng not only sent Princess Zheng to marry, but also prepared a series of tribute carriages, which were filled with treasures of the State of Zheng. Prince Lin, the grandson of the Emperor of Zhou, was an upright man. He likes gold and silver treasures and is not fond of women, but he likes hunting. Therefore, Zheng Guo naturally wanted to follow his fancy and selected some well-trained hunting dogs from thousands of miles away and prepared to send them to the Luo army.
What Qi Lu meant was that Gouzi was already included in the wedding party, so if Gou Daner followed the team, it would not be awkward and would not be considered an exception. Besides, the wedding party was so big that one more Gouzi would not make much difference. , one less dog makes a lot of difference.
Ji Xiaojunzi had a grudge against the little local dog. Last time, the little local dog almost bit him because of a roasted goose leg. Ji Xiaojun's eyes were very contemptuous. He looked at Prince Lin up and down and sneered: "It's just him? Why not?" I want to pretend to be a hunting dog, but I’m afraid if I put it in the paddock, the prey will turn around and run away.”
"Ouch-ouch!"
The little native dog was held in Qi Lu's arms, clawing hard with his two paws, and barking wildly at the little gentleman. The hand that the little gentleman stretched out to point at the little native trembled for an instant, and he was so frightened that he automatically walked around in a circle. Son, the speed was so fast, "Whoa!" He took it back.
"The minister is here!"
"The priest is here!"
"Hurry up, line up to welcome us!"
The crowd was in a commotion. When the young gentleman heard that his uncle was coming, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He immediately waved his hands and said to Qi Lu: "Quickly, put you little bastard into the carriage behind. Don't bark. If my uncle sees it, he might think that I am not serious and want to attract cats and dogs!"
When Qi Lu heard that the young gentleman agreed to the sacrifice, he was unambiguous and walked towards the carriage behind the team with the little local dog in his arms. Several servants and slaves saw Qi Lu and recognized him at a glance. When he came out, he was a young concubine who had just been "promoted". He was a role model among their subordinates and slaves. Who wouldn't envy him for his rise to the top?
Several ministers quickly put pedals on Qi Lu and asked him to get on the carriage.
Qi Lu walked away with his front legs, and Ji Zhong arrived with his back legs. The little gentleman Ji Ji was really well-behaved, and he performed the ceremony honestly and carefully, saying, "Ya has met my uncle."
Ji Zhong came over. He stood tall with his hands clasped behind his back. Thirty years of baptism by the sun and moon had filled Ji Zhong with the majesty of a superior. He gave a faint "hmm" and took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve. Raise your hand slightly.
The little gentleman Ji quickly raised his hands above his head and respectfully took the small bamboo tube handed over by Ji Zhong.
Ji Zhong's voice was very low, as if he didn't want to make any publicity, and said: "The transfer of the book here is of great importance. It cannot be opened on the way to send the bride. When you enter Luoshi Wangcheng, you must hand it to Zhou Gong Heijian with your own hands. Remember this."
When the young gentleman Ji heard this, he felt as if he had kicked a furry rabbit. He was very curious. He didn't know what was written on the parchment in this small bamboo tube. However, even if it gave the young gentleman Ji another ten more courages, he would not dare to He took a peek and immediately said: "Uncle, please rest assured, nephew!"
The old Zheng City of Zheng State, within the Zheng Palace.
Ji Zhong showed up at the gate of Old Zheng City, said some words of honor, and left soon. He boarded the chariot, and the riding slaves drove the chariot with black lacquer and glyphs. The chariot and horses entered Zhengzhou in a sparkling way. Palace, got off the bus directly at the Yanchao gate of Zheng Palace, Ji Zhong straightened his clothes, stopped the eunuchs and courtiers around him, and walked in alone, arriving at the entrance of Zheng Palace's road bedroom.
Outside the palace, there was complete silence.
An eunuch who was standing guard outside the roadside dormitory saw Ji Zhong, as if he had seen a savior. He immediately ran up to meet him, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said: "Ji Zhong! You are here. Today, you are here." Your Majesty... you are not in a good mood, your head ailment has occurred again, you are annoyed, and you don't see anyone."
In this era, eunuchs were similar to eunuchs in later dynasties. Of course, not all eunuchs in this era needed to be castrated, and some eunuchs did not purify themselves.
Ji Zhong nodded and did not let the eunuch pass the news. The eunuch seemed to understand the rules and softly pushed open the door of Lu's Bedroom. Ji Zhong lifted up a corner of his robe and stepped into the palace of Lu's Bedroom.
The palace was quiet, and the incense rose faintly. A man in the black robe of a monarch was leaning on the couch, supporting his head with his hands, closing his eyes and seeming to be dozing. His eyebrows were tightened, and his eyes were majestic. His appearance was also three-dimensional. He was in his early teens, only slightly older than Ji Zhong.
Unlike Ji Zhong, a smiling tiger, the king of Zheng, Wensheng, was naturally majestic. Even when he was sitting, you could see that he was tall and had a monarchy temperament that made people dare not look at him.
Ji Zhong walked in and stood in the passage between the inside and outside of the Taishi. He did not approach immediately. He had already put away his aloof official airs and said softly: "Your Majesty, your head ailment has happened again? Zhong will send a medical officer right now." Please take your pulse."
The man who had closed his eyes to meditate opened his eyes slightly, revealing a pair of tiger eyes, but slightly narrow and long. If you were to say what kind of eyes they were, they might just be a pair of greedy wolf eyes.
Zheng Bohuansheng unfolded his black sleeves and sat up a little. He waved his hand vaguely, and Ji Zhong immediately came forward, knelt down in front of the couch and sat down.
Zheng Bowensheng's voice was a little hoarse, and he said in a low voice: "This is a heart disease that the medical officials can't cure. In this court, I have to worry about everything and worry about everything. How can I avoid having a headache?"
?”
Ji Zhong quickly lowered his body and said, "Zhong is incompetent and cannot share your worries for your Majesty."
Zheng Bowensheng waved his hand, asked him to stand up, changed the topic, and said quietly: "The book... has been sent out?"
Ji Zhong immediately stood up, came behind Zheng Bowensheng, stretched out his hand to rub Zheng Bowensheng's head respectfully, and replied: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Yishu has already set off with the escorting procession... That nephew of Zhong,
Although he adjusted a few things on weekdays, he never dared to neglect the things Zhong gave him."
The corners of Ji Zhong's lips were slightly raised. Although his eyes were lowered and his eyebrows were lowered, his eyes were raised, with a smile full of victory, and he said: "Why should you worry, Your Majesty? That Prince Lin is just a brat who is still in his infancy.
Who would have thought that sending off a bride is just an excuse. When I, the army of the State of Zheng, escort Yi Shu to Luo Division, join forces with Duke Zhou Heijian and make a blood alliance, and support Prince Hu to ascend the throne, this world... is not yours?"
…
The procession of seeing off the bride was huge. The front of the carriage was connected to the rear of the carriage, like a long dragon. The carriage ran over the land of the old Zheng city, leaving deep ruts. It can be seen that among these carriages, there were many
How many treasures are there?
It was the first time for the young gentleman to go out on business. It was such a big job, and his face was shining with pride. He saw Qi Lu riding a horse and following behind. He didn't seem to be good at riding a horse, and he kept competing with the horses.
The young gentleman then pulled the horse's bridle, hit the horse and rushed over, showing off his outstanding riding skills, and said mockingly: "How about you, a small official, you have never seen such a scene?"
Qi Lu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said thoughtfully: "Indeed, such a pomp and circumstance is really unusual for Lu. Jiujiu warriors are all equipped with the most sophisticated armor. This posture reminds Lu of Dong Zhuo."
"Dong Zhuo?" The young gentleman was stunned and said, "Who is Dong Zhuo?"
The little gentleman who sacrificed himself was from the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Of course he didn't know Dong Zhuo. Who was Dong Zhuo? It was at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. On the pretext of putting down the rebellion of Shi Changshi, he sent a large army into the Imperial City of Luoshi, killed the young emperor, established Emperor Xian, and treated the emperor as a puppet.
The warlord who controls the government!
