Chapter 71 Chapter Nine Such a Serious Event Has Happened

A few days later, under the arrangement of Guan Zhong, Yi Yangjiu joined the guards to receive Duke Huan of Lu's visit. The work of the guards was not heavy, and Prince Peng Sheng was responsible for the real protection of Duke Huan of Lu. A powerful warrior. Guan Zhong arranged Yiyangjiu in the guards responsible for etiquette. This kind of team is not directly responsible for protecting the safety of the nobles, but only wears beautiful and bright agricultural armor during the guard of honor, making the whole scene more lively. However, the visit of the king of a country of Lu is a big event after all, so the practice time is much more than usual, repeating the same salute all day long, it is quite tiring at the end of the day.

In the early spring, Duke Huan of Lu brought his wife Wen Jiang to the State of Qi, and the sons of Duke Xiang of Qi went to greet them in person. Yi Yangjiu followed the brigade to Shenshui, a border town at the border between Qi and Lu, to welcome the couple who had a deep relationship with the State of Qi. . During the ceremony to welcome the monarchs of various countries, Yi Yangjiu finally saw Wen Jiang in a gorgeous lady's attire from a distance. Although she was a little far away, she could still see her peerless beauty. After a few years, Wen Jiang is no longer the delicate and naive girl, her words and deeds are more graceful and mature, and she has more adult woman's style than before.

But this kind of meeting was just a short glimpse. As a soldier of the Qi State Guard, Yi Yangjiu could only see Wen Jiang from a distance during the welcoming ceremony in Shenshui. When I arrived in Linzi, I never saw her again. But this time, Ji Yingchu disappeared without a trace. In the past few years, she would disappear suddenly like this every once in a while, and it was the same as when they first met. She didn't allow Yi Yangjiu to ask her whereabouts. He only said that he was going to visit relatives in other countries, and if Yi Yangjiu asked a few more questions, he would get angry.

After Lu Hou and Wen Jiang returned to Qi State, the work of the guards became easier, and there was less time for drills, which gave Yi Xuejiu a lot of free time.On this day, taking advantage of his free time, he sneaked to the nearby small river to enjoy the cool air and listen to the pleasant sound of running water. Beside the small river, the shade of willows is sparse, and the sunlight is reflected in the gaps between the gurgling water waves, which makes people feel refreshed suddenly. Yiyang Jiubai walked to the river bank bored, and was about to hide in the shade of the willows where he often went, but saw a slender figure quietly standing there.

Hearing his footsteps, the man turned his head quietly. At first, he was slightly surprised by the beautiful and peerless face, but when he saw Yi Yangjiu's face clearly, her face gradually shone brightly like the dawning sun. innocent smile. "It's you!" Wen Jiang said happily: "I was just thinking, if I come here again, I don't know if I will meet you again!" The two looked at each other with some reservations, Yi Yangjiu looked at her quietly, looked around, and saw her light red lust soul "Wushan" above a bush. Following Wen Jiang's happy expression, "Wushan" moved slowly again, its long sleeves fluttered quietly in the air, and the air around it began to permeate with that yearning sweet fragrance again.

Yi Yangjiu screamed in his heart that it was not good, held his breath, and was secretly alert to his behavior. Because Zhang Jiang's status at this moment is different from before after all, as the wife of the State of Lu, she must have entourages and servants by her side, as long as she accidentally falls into the tender trap of lust, even the prince's correction and pipeware can't save her catastrophe. The sweet fragrance stimulated by "Wushan" also affected Wen Jiang at this time. Her winking eyes were like silk, and her reserved expression gradually melted. Looking at Yiyang Jiu's tall and strong figure, she couldn't help stroking her chest, and her breath began to Get up in a hurry.

"Come on," her voice was sweet, and the corners of her eyes were full of spring. "Come here for a while!" Yi Yangjiu shook his head, took a step back, bowed and said: "The identity of the villain and the wife are different, so it is inconvenient to talk with each other." Wen Jiang was taken aback for a moment, showing a disappointed expression.Strange to say, at this turning point, the primordial spirit "Wushan" behind her also stopped moving, stopped waving his sleeves, and the sweet fragrance in the air gradually dissipated. Yi Yangjiu remembered that Wen Jiang had no way to see his soul. Back then, Yi Yangjiu briefly told her the whole story about the soul, but she ridiculed it as a trick to deceive the girl.

Therefore, Yi Yangjiu has always been more forgiving of Wenmei's indulgent love behaviors, because many of her behaviors are actually influenced by the urging effect of "Wushan", and she often cannot control herself. At this time, Wen Jiang's sense of lust also faded a bit, and her face and eyebrows were no longer full of spring, but a faint look of disappointment appeared. "My man! There are times when I really want to find an old friend to talk to..." She said quietly: "True friends are lost one by one..." When Yi Yangjiu heard her whispering like this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, his blood surged up, and he didn't care about any scruples, so he took a deep breath and walked over.

Wen Jiang's face showed a joyful expression, with tears in his eyes, he strode over, put his arms around Yi Yangjian's neck, and hugged him deeply. "It's so good, it's so good to see old friends..." Her voice was buried deep in Yi Yangjiu's chest, sounding extremely far away, "I've been so lonely all these years, so lonely..." Yi Yangjiu let her hug him uncomfortably, wanted to stroke her hair, but felt it was wrong, one hand was already raised, but it stopped in mid-air, not knowing where to put it. "You are already the wife of the State of Lu, and you are also the sister of the Marquis of Qi," Yiyang Jiu said softly, "Among all the girls in the world, you are the most honored. Who would be happy?"

Wen Jiang said nothing, but put his face deeper into Yi Yangjiu's arms, as if that was her closest support. The gurgling sound of the water, the wind blowing through the tops of the willow trees made a pleasant rustling sound. Yi Yangjiu remembered that when Wen Jiang was about to get married a few years ago, he also hugged him like this. Thinking of the strange relationship between himself and the most noble girl in Qi State, it always makes people feel a little bit confused. After a long time, Wen Jiang raised his head with a smile, his beautiful big eyes were still stained with tears.

"I'm really sorry, I have to hug you and cry like this every time," she smiled with tears in her eyes, "But I feel bitter in my heart, really bitter, but no one can tell me." "If you have anything to say, you can tell me," Yi Yangjiu said softly, "Although I may not be able to help you solve it, I can listen to what you have to say." Wen Jiang stared at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, and after a long time, he shook his head faintly. "You are right. In fact, it is impossible for you to help me, and it is absolutely impossible for anyone in this world to help me." She wiped her tears and stood up slowly, "I should go, and you should too, Otherwise, if someone sees you, you will be in trouble." Her tone had the same maturity and majesty as a few years ago, and it was only at this time that people recalled her respected status as Mrs. Lu. Yi Yangjiu stood up silently, bowed and saluted, and Wen Jiang also accepted the gift calmly. As soon as the two bodies left, they became noble ladies and ordinary guards with different identities. Wen Jiang turned around slowly, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around again. "Hey!" Yi Yangjiu was startled, and stared at her from afar with his eyes wide open. Wen Jiang sighed faintly, and said softly: "Actually, what traps me is still the same thing. I still can't untie the knot in my heart, never, ever." As she spoke, she took out a piece of silk and lightly placed it with her slender hands, and the silk fell lightly to the ground. "It was 'he' who sent someone to give it to me. I returned 'his' poem, but felt that it should not be returned to him, so I asked you to store it for me." Then, she let out a long sigh, and walked away slowly without looking back. After a while, it disappeared by the river. Yi Yangmo looked at the row of silk on the ground calmly, thought for a long time, and then went to pick it up. On the silk, there are two lines of characters. If you look closely, one line of characters is beautifully written, obviously written by a man, and the other line of characters is beautifully written, obviously written by a woman. After reading the two lines of words, Yi Yangjiu couldn't help frowning deeply. On the first line, written in the man's handwriting: "Beautiful spring flowers grow on the peach tree, as bright as the clouds. The peach blossoms are blooming by my door, but I didn't seize the opportunity to pick her off. Doesn’t it make people regret and sigh?” But the woman's handwriting was a reply, which was beautifully written: "Peach blossoms have beautiful stamens, and they are as sentient as human beings. You didn't seize the opportunity to pick them off today, but next spring the peach blossoms will still bloom. This is my wish to you." Advise and exhort..." Yiyang Jiu often had the opportunity to come and go in and out of the palace, and occasionally saw this man's handwriting a few times. The person who wrote the first line of courtship poem is the current Duke Xiang of Qi, who is also Wen Jiang's half-brother. "...Brilliant peach blossoms bloomed by my door, but I didn't grasp that opportunity..." And the one who wrote the reply was of course Wen Jiang. "...you didn't seize the opportunity to pick it off, but the peach blossoms will still open next spring..." Of course, Yi Yangjiu still remembers the incestuous love affair of this pair of brothers and sisters. Unexpectedly, after such a long time, Wen Jiang has been married to Duke Huan of Lu for many years, but the two are still so entangled and entangled. For some reason, the air around him seemed to be much colder at this moment, and he could faintly realize the terrible storm that was about to appear. In fact, the storm that Yiyang Jiu had foreseen came much earlier than expected. In the early morning of the second day, Yiyang Jiu came to the Sili courtyard next to the palace early in the morning, but found that the surroundings of the courtyard were already noisy and noisy. He squeezed into the crowd, curiously wanting to see what happened, but outside the gate of the other officials' palace, there was a group of foreign soldiers in distinctive armor and fully armed, fighting against the guards guarding the palace gate. Taking a closer look, the group of foreign soldiers turned out to be Duke Lu Huan's personal troops. At this moment, the captain of Duke Huan of Lu's guard was yelling with the guards there, and looking not far behind the Lu army, he saw Duke Huan Lu's chariot. I don't know why, Duke Huan of Lu actually led the sergeants he brought with him, and came to the other palace of Qi State to make a big noise. It stands to reason that Duke Huan of Lu came to Linzi as a guest, and it is an international taboo to lead his own army to run rampant in the city of the most benevolent in Qi. If there is a big fight, it may lead to an international war. Although Duke Huan of Lu and Duke Xi of Qi once fought against each other in the country of Ji, after Duke Xiang of Qi came to the throne, the two countries were committed to improving the relationship between the two countries. The relationship can be regarded as extremely harmonious. However, the word "harmony" does not match the current quarrel between Lu Guowei and Bieguanchuan. In addition to the chaos, it is even more strange. Yi Yangjiu looked around in the crowd and saw Guan Zhong among the guards, with a confused and anxious expression on his face, he pushed away the crowd and approached Guan Zhong. At this time, Guan Zhong's face was already covered with sweat, as if he was in a hurry, he was an important person in charge of ceremonies under Young Master Jiu, and he was responsible for the dispute between the troops of Lu State and Qi State this time, but Such a mindless quarrel really gave him a headache. He turned his head and saw the figure of Yi Yangjiu, but as if seeing some savior, he shouted loudly: "Brother Jiu, come here quickly! Come here!" Yi Yangjiu walked up to him according to his words, and asked curiously, "What's going on? Why is there such a big fight?" "Oh! Then don't mention it," Guan Zhong sighed, "I don't know why, but Duke Huan of Lu sent people to surround the other officials early this morning, and they have been arguing for quite a while!" "Why did they lead troops to encircle the other palace?" Yiyang Jiuqi said, "What reason do they have?" "That's a reason to talk about! It's really nonsensical," Guan Zhong said angrily, "It's just that Mrs. Wen Jiang came to visit our lord last night. It’s human nature to serve her as a court lady! It’s just a one-night stay, but I don’t know why Lu Huan is so nervous there, making a lot of noise here in the early morning.” As soon as Yi Yangjiu heard this, his heart lightened up, his eyes widened, and he unconsciously took a long breath. If it was someone else, such a "brother and sister meeting each other" would naturally have nothing to do with it, but now it is Wen Jiang and Qi Xianggong's Zhu'er who "have a meeting" for one night, that would be very bad. Thinking of the seriousness of the matter, Yi Yangjiu's face could not help but change slightly. But Guan Zhong is an extremely shrewd person. At this moment, seeing Yi Yangjiu's expression changed, he rolled his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Jiu, what clues do you know?" very nervous. "This matter is of great importance. If you don't handle it well, blood will flow into rivers. Don't hide anything from me!" Yi Yangjiu knew that although Guan Zhong usually acted frivolously, he was a first-class capable person in official affairs, and his knowledge and experience were beyond ordinary people. Tell Guan Zhong about his personal affair. Guan Zhong listened carefully to Yi Yangjiu's narration, knowing the ins and outs of this shocking incestuous love, his face turned pale as he listened. Horror is nothing but horror, after all he is a capable person who acts calmly. At this time, he couldn't stop thinking about it, and after a while, he had already figured out a countermeasure. "Brother Jiu, this fact has too much to do with us, we can't do it, I think we have to find a way to figure out the situation, and then see if there is a way to hide away, so that this matter will not be involved Come on." The two of them sneaked into the crowd and entered the other palace through the side door. They wanted to ask the familiar guards in the other palace what happened, but they saw Wen Jiang being supported by a few palace maids, his temples were scattered, and he hurriedly put on his clothes , got into the chariot, and slowly left the other palace. As soon as Guan Zhong had a thought, he greeted the leader of the guards he was familiar with, and mixed with Yi Yangjiu into the team protecting Wen Jiang back to Lu Huan's mansion. The guards of the State of Lu outside the other palace saw that Wen Jiang's chariot had already walked out, so they stopped shouting. Duke Lu Huan's face was ashen, watching Wen Jiang's chariot walk out of other officials, but his eyes seemed to be on fire. He flicked his sleeves angrily, and sat in his own chariot, ignoring Wen Jiang, and turned his head away. At this time, a strange atmosphere of noise subsided. It's just that not many people know that this is just a very short calm before the storm, and the real biggest change is about to sweep through in the near future.
