Chapter 70 Chapter 8 Wen Jiang is coming back to Qi

After this fierce battle, it was almost dark, and Yi Ya and Shu Diao spent a lot of effort to peel Yi Yang Jiu out of the vines, because the situation was too critical at that time, Luo Ye didn't care about anything else, So he wrapped a lot of vines around Yi Yangjiu's body, almost passing him out. After rescuing Yiyangjiu, the three of them carefully opened the ring-shaped tree wall that was more than two people high. In the twilight of the evening, as soon as they opened it, they saw Qiuyang lying there with only one breath left. Pass. As for his brightly colored primordial spirit "Fungus Bear", only a pile of burnt black ashes with the smell of roasted mushrooms remained.

Yi Yangjiu snorted, and wanted to kick him, but after thinking about it, he felt that dealing with a dying person like this is not a hero, so he stretched his legs back. "You!" Yi Yangjiu said viciously, "Do you have any enmity with us? Why do you want to hurt us like this?" At this moment Qiu Yangtong was extremely weak, he had already breathed a sigh of relief, he could only hear his throat gurgling, as if he had said something in a low voice. Yi Yangjiu had suffered from him before, and although he was curious now, he didn't dare to bend down to listen to him again.

"What are you talking about?" He frowned and said, "Speak up!" Qiu Yangtong's throat gurgled again, he muttered something, and seemed to be grinning smugly. To say that a dying person can still laugh is a bit inconceivable, but at this moment, Yiyang Jiusan heard that this dying middle-aged man is still laughing ferociously and complacently. Then, Qiu Yangtong's body trembled for a while, and he let out a long fart from his anus in a strange way, and then he let out a last breath with a "goo" from his throat, and he was gone. breath. The night was falling, and the night had gradually enveloped the earth.

The three of them stared at Qiu Yangtong's curled body, and were stunned for a while before Shu Diao murmured, "Did you hear what he said?" Yi Ya glanced at Yi Yangjiu, and said in a daze, "I seem to have heard a little..." Yi Yangjiu let out a sigh of relief. "He seems to be saying... don't be complacent, there will be people coming... right?" The vertical marten stared at him quietly, his eyes seemed to be shining strangely in the night. "Hmm! He also said..." He said slowly, "...all of you will be turned into stone." "Turning into a stone..." Yi Ya said softly, "Is there another vicious soul coming?"

"When did we become such important people?" Shu Diao said with a wry smile, "We didn't do anything bad. How could there be such a large number of people coming to kill us?" Yi Ya looked at Yiyang Jiu meaningfully, and after a long time, he said quietly: "Xiao Jiu..." There was a bit of helplessness in his voice, "You still have to say now, as long as one Is there nothing to do when people live a good life? You see, we haven’t done anything, yet there are so many people who come to harm us for no reason. Is this how a peaceful life is lived?” Yi Yangjiu was taken aback, but didn't know how to answer.

Originally wanted to retort, but felt that what Yi Ya said was not wrong. Moreover, in recent days, this fat man who only loves to cook seems to be a little different. Not long ago, Yi Yangjiu teased him for "becoming smarter", but now he feels that his voice seems a little far away. However, it's not quite right to use the word "distant" to describe it, because Yi Ya was right in front of him. Although he couldn't see Di's face clearly because of the darkness, his voice was very clear, word by word came into his ears. "Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty..." Yi Ya said leisurely: "Didn't senior Sangyang say that? There is a "Nandou" like us who wants to trouble us. Although we have nothing to do with the world, but one day, they will still find us, won't they?"

"Let's talk about it when we find it!" Yi Yangjiu forced a smile and said, "If the sky falls, there will always be someone to hold it up!" For a long time, Yi Ya didn't say anything, and when he looked at him again, he and Shu Diao had already walked away, and they were almost at the other end of the wall. Yi Yangjiu stood in the empty waste garden in a daze, a crescent moon had already risen in the sky, and Qiu Yangtong's hideous twisted corpse was still lying there behind him, but there was still a bit of that kind of burnt in the air. The smell of mushrooms.

After a long time, he shook his head and strode towards the direction Yi Ya Shu Diao left. After a few days, the news of the defeat of Qi Xigong's troops in front of Ji Guocheng was indeed heard. Although Yi Yangjiu and the others had known the prophecy a few days ago, the news was still somewhat surprising. unhappy. Regardless of whether Qi is his own country or not, walking on the road and seeing people all over the street with heavy hearts, and some people with sad faces, it is not a pleasant feeling anyway. In the past few days, no one from the Yuanshen tribe has appeared again. Ever since the "fungus bear" Qiu Yangtong uttered the curse before dying that day, Yi Yangjiu, Yi Ya, and Shu Diao have become a little more restless and peaceful. Be careful, when you walk on the road, you will turn your head suddenly, for fear that those dreadful souls will appear again.

However, after becoming vigilant, the days passed peacefully. Although news of the tense battle situation came from Jicheng from time to time, this kind of bad news only had a direct impact on the families of the nobles who went to war, and did not affect the civilians. Apart from increased uneasiness among the common people, there was no direct harm. On the contrary, Ji Yingchu seems to have disappeared during this period of time, without seeing her. Yiyang Jiuda has not seen her for many days since the battle against the "fungus bear", and whenever he is free, he will always think of her. The beautiful figure, and the reserved but occasionally delicate expression of his little daughter, also made him miss him often at night.

After sixteen days of this kind of life, one night Ji Yingchu suddenly appeared again, still with the same fragrance and the same shy smile, but when he asked her where she had been these days, she suddenly pulled her face down, and her expression was covered with a forest. The cold frost scared Yi Yangjiu from asking any more questions. His personality was originally open and closed, and he was so courageous that he provoked him, and even the son of a dignitary in the city would be able to beat him up, but at this moment, all his heart has been placed on this cold, arrogant and mysterious girl. At this moment, the fierce tiger turned into a timid and docile kitten in front of Ji Yingchu.

But apart from Ji Yingchu's whereabouts sometimes being a mystery, she also has deep affection for Yiyangjiu. Although she is still reserved in her behavior, she always sees deep affection. Occasionally, when Yiyangjiu is not paying attention, she is always affectionate Looking at him intently, as if he wanted to take every opportunity he could grasp to keep his figure in his heart forever. In the near autumn, Qi Xigong’s army that attacked Ji State finally returned after being defeated. This time, the international war really showed that the allied forces of Lu State and Zheng State successfully helped Ji State defend the city, and sent Qi State, Song State, Yan State .Wei's coalition army was defeated, Duke Xi of Qi not only lost face, but also killed and injured many generals, even Peng Sheng, the first brave general of Qi, was seriously injured by arrows and almost died on the battlefield. Duke Xi of Qi was already old and suffered such a blow. After returning home, he became seriously ill and died of anger. Xiang Gong. Yi Yangjiu was originally a handyman under the son of the prince. Because the son was promoted to the king and was not brought into the palace by the Duke of Xiang, he became an idler with nothing to do. Because of his tall stature and excellent physique, he was later assigned Joined the guard of the son Peng Sheng, but because he was not a nobleman of the Qi State, he usually only served as some guards guarding the warehouses and grain depots. Fortunately, he also had no ambitions. I don't really care what kind of place I work for. In contrast, Yi Ya, Kai Fang, Shu Diao and others were much more active in their pursuit of fame and status. Yi Yaben had become famous in the "Cooking Supreme", and at that time he asked Duke Xiang of Qi to stay with him. He was deeply impressed, so after Duke Xiang came to the throne, he included Yi Ya among the chefs of the palace, and Kai Fang and Shu Diao also had their own duties. Although their positions were not high, they were not idle like Yi Yangjiu.But these four old friends who grew up together in the Acropolis still have a very good relationship, and they have not been alienated because of their different status and positions. They still often gather together to drink and chat, and they often mix together when setting up affairs. On this day, Yi Yangjiu, Yi Ya and others were promoted because of Kai Fang, and everyone gathered together to have a hearty drink. Because of the high interest during the banquet, everyone kept laughing until midnight before returning. The four of them walked on Qi Guoyelai's main street, as if the time had returned to those days when they were young in the Acropolis. At this time, the four of them are no longer teenagers, they are all young people in their early twenties, Yi Ya and Kai Fang have already married wives, Yi Ya has a child, and the scene of leaving the Acropolis in a hurry in the middle of the night in the past is already a scene. The past is as light as the spring breeze. Yi Yangjiu and the other three walked staggeringly on the empty street. Someone sprinkled water on the street to relieve summer heat, reflecting the moonlight in the sky, feeling desolate and lonely in the middle of the night. Although he just drank happily all night, as he grows older, Yi Yangjiu feels more and more that although such joy is interesting, there is nothing left after the curtain ends, as if the previous joy has become a lie. It's an unpleasant feeling. When they reached the west of the city, Yi Ya and the others went on a different path from Yi Yangjiu, and they fought for a while before walking back contentedly. Walking on the dark street in the west of Linzi City, Yi Yangjiu felt that he drank too much wine tonight, his head seemed to be flooded with water and he couldn't balance, even the road in front of him was crooked. Just because he was so drunk, he took a wrong turn on the familiar road. As he walked, he came to a place where many dim red lanterns were lit. Looking out from the drunken eyes, I can only see red lanterns hanging all over the sky in various places on this street, and figures on the road are swaying, unreal like wandering ghosts, and occasionally there are strange sounds that make people blush and heartbeat . Yi Yangjiu staggered a few steps on the street, a burst of disgust suddenly came from his chest, and with a "wow", he vomited in a daze beside the road. But a drunken person will wake up a lot after vomiting. Yi Yangjiu knelt beside the dark road and vomited for a while, until there was only clear water left in his stomach, then he sat softly beside the road panting. Vomiting after drinking is an extremely uncomfortable thing, but after vomiting, it will reduce the drunken stupor. Yi Yangjiu sat on the ground and panted for a while, wiped his mouth, looked up, and found that I accidentally walked to the prostitution street in the west of the city. Dim red lanterns were hung in front of the houses of the prostitutes in front of me. Clients came and went in front of the street. Some prostitutes flirted with clients at the door, while some clients stood on the street and quarreled loudly for jealousy. Yi Yangjiu shook his head violently, feeling a little funny in his heart, laughing that he was so drunk, but wandered to Yingyingyanyan's place when he was doing nothing, and when he was smiling wryly, he saw a "hoo", a Barefooted, bare-chested, and only surrounded by a quilt, the tall man jumped out of the window of the brothel. The man's movements were extremely neat, and when he jumped from the window and landed on the ground, he didn't make a sound, but such lightness was of no use at all, because at this moment, a young prostitute poked out from the window, her face was still painted. With thick makeup and naked upper body, she leaned out the window and cried loudly. "Come back! I can't live without you, I will do whatever you want!" The naked man giggled, but ignored her, and ran as soon as he hit the ground, his movements were brisk and skillful, as if he was used to doing similar things. Several prostitutes standing on the street saw him running, and laughed wildly, and some even screamed coquettishly. "Brother Guan, you can get into my bed next time!" "Brother Guan! When are you coming to touch me?" The man ran for a few steps, and then strolled leisurely down the street. The prostitutes and benefactors on the street seemed to know him very well, and they laughed and greeted him one after another. Yi Yangjiu sat on the ground, looked up at the sky a little limply, and didn't want to stand up for a while.The naked and frivolous man clutched the quilt, walked in front of Yi Yangjiu, but stopped. "Ah!" The man sized him up a few times and shouted joyfully, "Isn't this Brother Yiyang?" Yi Yangjiu froze for a moment, opened his eyes and looked at the man, in the night, he only felt that his appearance was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment. The man laughed and walked up to him. "Don't recognize me? I'm that Guan Yiwu, Guan Zhong!" His hearty voice seemed to be able to easily convey his joy, "That Guan Zhong who sang 'Song of the Oriole' in the mountains!" Yi Yangjiu was startled, and only then remembered who he was.When he and Ji Yingchu were trapped in the deep valley that day, it was this Guan Zhong who rescued them both. At that time, he sang "Song of the Oriole" in the forest, and his voice spread throughout the forest. Only then did Yi Yangjiu and Ji Yingchu know that someone was there. After passing by, it was he and another friend Bao Shuya who rescued the two from the valley. This Guan Zhongben is a person with a bright personality. Although his behavior is a bit unruly, he is quite an outstanding talent. Yi Yangjiu once heard that he was a retainer that Xianggong's younger brother, Prince Jiu, valued very much, but he never saw him again after the farewell in the deep valley that day. face to face. In fact, the street of the prostitute's house that came this night is not a good place to talk heart-to-heart. In addition, Yi Yangjiu is still drunk, and Guan Zhong is mixed with only one bed quilt, and the two of them look a little bit embarrassed. However, even so, when the two talked, they unexpectedly talked very congenially. It turns out that Guan Zhong is still one of Young Master Jiu’s important retainers at this moment. After the Duke of Xiang came to the throne, he was kind to his two younger brothers, Jiang Jiu and Jiang Xiaobai. . The ceremonial department seems simple, but it is the most important unit in the palace. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the most important thing was the ritual law. All major events and ceremonies in the palace were related to the ceremonial department.Speaking of Si Li, Guan Zhong also told Yi Yangjiu an extremely important news. "Our monarch, Duke Xiang, has a younger sister named Wen Jiang," Guan Zhong said with a smile, "I used to marry Duke Huan of the State of Lu. In recent years, we have gotten along well with the State of Lu, and Wen Jiang misses our lively place. Linzi City, so she will return to Guining with Duke Huan of Lu soon." Wen Jiang, the famous princess Wen Jiang of Qi State!Hearing this name at first, Yi Yangjiu froze for a moment, but in an instant, his heart was disturbed by strange and mixed emotions, and images as clear as yesterday appeared in his mind unconsciously. In the moonlight, the naked wenjiang is as moist as a lotus emerging from water. In the wild, passionately sucking Wen Jiang on Yi Yangjiu's lower body. There is Wen Jiang, the soul of lust "Wushan" behind him. With a sweet smile, Wen Jiang rode a horse and laughed heartily at Yi Yangjiu. Before getting married, Wen Jiang fell asleep leaning on Yi Yangjiu's shoulders after crying. Of course, Yi Yangjiu wants to forget the most, but he can never forget... Wen Jiang, who is incestuous with his elder brother Xianggong Zhuer, is shocking the world in a room full of bright red. Thinking of these images, Yi Yangjiu couldn't help feeling uneasy.Although she is already the wife of Duke Huan of Lu, Yi Yangjiu still has an ominous premonition when thinking of Wen Jiang's desperate character for love and the spirit behind him spraying the fragrance of peach. Because these thoughts and pictures kept flowing in his mind, his mind was flashed, so Yi Yangjiu didn't hear a long part of Guan Zhong's words. "...So, the matter is nothing more than this, huh?" Guan Zhongqi said: "Brother Yiyang Jiu, did you hear what I said?" "Ah?" Yi Yangjiu was stunned, and then he came back to his senses from the strange association, but what Guan Zhong said earlier, he missed it, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear, you say it again .” Guan Zhong looked at him calmly, his eyes became sharper. There was an intriguing curiosity in those eyes. "Could it be because you're still a little drunk?" He dismissed Yi Yangjiu's loss, and said with a relaxed smile, "I heard that you were the son's subordinate back then, do you know Mrs. Wen Jiang?" At this moment, Yi Yang'er had come to his senses, although he acted recklessly, but his brain reaction was extremely fast, so he smiled and said: "It's nothing, ordinary people like us, how could we know Miss Wang's family?" Woolen cloth?" Guan Zhong stared at him thoughtfully, as if he wanted to read his heart, but this subtle confrontation only lasted for a while, and then he easily led him away. "That's right, our young master has spent a lot of thought recently in order to receive Marquis Lu and Mrs. Wen Jiang back," Guan Zhong said with a smile, "No matter what, he is also the monarch of a big country, so he must not lose his etiquette." "Exactly." "So, Ninth Brother Yiyang, are you willing to come and help us?" "Ah?" Yi Yangjiu was stunned again, not understanding what he meant by asking. Guan Zhong patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You see, you are really drunk and stunned. Didn't I just say that? I said that there is a shortage of guards in order to welcome Lu Hou and Mrs. Wen Jiang back. , would you like to come and help?" Yi Yangjiu pondered for a while, and began to think about whether to agree to his invitation. Guan Zhong chuckled, and said leisurely: "It is a rare opportunity to serve Mrs. Wen Jiang who is married! What's more, Marquis Lu will also come. Ordinary people like us don't have the opportunity to see other countries every day. Where is the king!" Thinking of Wen Jiang's beautiful smile back then, Yi Yangjiu couldn't help feeling hot and emotional, so he nodded resolutely. "Okay, I'll go." Guan Zhong patted him on the shoulder approvingly, lifted the quilt on his body, and yawned loudly. "Then it's all right, I have to find a secluded place to sleep, then I'll see you in the palace." As he spoke, he wandered away in a crooked manner, not knowing which prostitute he was going to spend the night with again. Under the night, Yi Yangjiu walked slowly on the empty street, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, thinking of Wenmei's smile, but his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he didn't know whether it was expectation or worry. I don't know why, but at this moment, I also think of Ji Yingchu's beautiful eyes that are as bright as stars. When I think of her, I feel different, and my heart suddenly feels warm, as if I saw a warm light in the lost wilderness. However, he was too absorbed in his thoughts, but he didn't see a pair of crystal eyes looking at him thoughtfully in a dark alley beside him.The night wind blew, blowing the man's long hair and her white clothes. Looking at Yi Yangjiu's tall and strong back with star-like eyes, his eyes are full of tenderness. Just like that, Ji Yingchu stood quietly behind Yiyang Jiuyuan, watching his figure gradually go away, but for some reason, he didn't go forward to catch up with him and talk to him. Yi Yangjiu walked on the street for a while, suddenly, something seemed to touch his heart. Turning around suddenly, he saw only an empty, deserted long street reflecting the moonlight.
