Chapter 127 Chapter Thirteen

Yi Yangjiu turned around in astonishment, and saw another tall horse with a shiny face on it, and the one who yelled at him was the fat man Yi Ya who was good at cooking. I haven't seen him in these years, but Yi Ya has gained a lot of weight again, with two mustaches on his face, sitting on his horse like a big fat field mouse, his laughter is still the same, he shouted loudly in the crowd, and pulled Yi Yang by force Jiu and Ji Yingchu came to his home to get together. Yi Ya's mansion is located in the center of the city. It is a luxurious and magnificent mansion. He has been promoted to the imperial cook of Duke Huan of Qi. The more polite you are.

Yi Yangjiu and Ji Yingchu were dressed in shabby clothes, and they looked even more shabby in Yi Ya's mansion. Although Yi Ya was as enthusiastic as before, and he even cooked the food himself, after the meal, Yi Yangjiu felt a little tasteless. While eating, Yi Yangjiu discovered something strange. He found that several servants in Yi Ya's mansion were sneaking around with naked babies in their arms, and they all carried them to the kitchen. , Listen carefully, the cries of those babies stopped abruptly after they were carried to the kitchen. As a result, Yi Yangjiu's curious nature was aroused, and after chatting with Yi Ya for a while, Yi Yangjiu saw servants walking by carrying the baby twice, so he turned over from the toilet under the pretext of being urgent to urinate. Go past the wall and go to the kitchen for a sneak peek.

Looking at it, he saw the most terrifying scene in his life that made his soul tear apart. In the huge dark kitchen, a few bloody chefs were holding sharp knives and holding the baby's feet, and they were about to cut the baby open like chickens and sheep. Yi Yangjiu was startled, his eyes were cracked, and with a roar, the power of the "Little Nine" from back then reappeared, and with his hands together, he broke the window and door, jumped into the kitchen, and swung his giant fist wildly. Several chefs were beaten badly, and some of them were beaten so hard that they flew into the air. Suddenly, the whole kitchen was in chaos. Fei's teeth were scattered all over the place.

Yi Yangjiu grabbed the baby in his hands, looked around, saw a scene in a big basin, his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand up. In that big basin, there were all the dismembered flesh and blood of babies, neatly arranged like ordinary meat. Seeing such an astonishing scene, Yi Yangjiu was furious even more. Seeing a cook crawling on the ground and trying to escape, he roared again, trying to catch up with him and beat him to death. There was a shout from the kitchen door. "stop!" The person who yelled loudly, standing under the dark light and shadow, was Yi Ya, the owner of the mansion. He had a heavy complexion and stood plump at the door.

When Yi Yangjiu saw him, he shouted angrily: "Fatty! Do you know what your servants are doing? What they skinned were babies! They were real children!" Yi Ya glanced around the kitchen and said lightly, "Yes!" Yi Yangjiu said anxiously: "What's 'yes'? This is a serious crime involving human life, do you know it!" Yi Ya looked at him coldly, and after a long time, he said slowly, "It turns out that you idiot, after all these years, still don't understand." "Don't understand what?" Yi Yang said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Bullshit?" Yi Ya laughed loudly, "In Qi State today, everyone knows that I, Yi Ya, do not hesitate to cook my son to serve the Lord in order to let the Lord taste the most delicious food in the world. I am loyal and love the Lord. The number one in the country is Guan Zhong, Bao Shuya also respects me three points, how dare you call me bullshit?" "Are you still cooking your own son?" Yi Yangjiu was even more furious, "Are you human?" "Of course I don't cook my own son," Yi Ya said with a grin, "I know you still love your nephew! That's why I have to find other people's children to satisfy my lord's greed!"

"You! You are insane!" Yi Yangjiu said angrily. Yi Ya's face darkened, his expression was as cold as ice. "Everyone has his own aspirations. If you don't agree with my approach, then please go ahead!" He snorted disdainfully, "If you want to be a useless person in your life, that's your business." Speaking of this, A ferocious expression appeared on his chubby face, "It's just that today I'm thinking about my old relationship, and I won't argue with you. If you speak rudely again in the future, I won't let you go so easily!"

Yi Yangjiu glared at him angrily, wondering whether to beat him up, but saw Yi Ya turn around and leave, standing not far behind his fat figure was Ji Yingchu who was holding Meier. Seeing her mother and daughter, Yi Yangjiu immediately lost his temper, and then remembered that he was still holding the baby he had snatched just now, but when he checked his breath, he found that the baby had already stopped breathing. Yi Yangjiu's face was ashen, and he walked out of Yi Ya Mansion without turning his head. He walked out of Linzi City in a short time without looking back, and found a wasteland to bury the baby. He didn't know why, but he burst into tears .

At this time, a gentle hand caressed his face, and Ji Yingchu stood in front of him with a gentle face, holding Mei'er. "We will never come to such a ghostly place again," she said quietly, seeing the baby's small grave with tears in her eyes, "Anyway, we only need to take good care of Meier's body, and nothing else Let's just leave it alone, okay?" In the quiet moonlight wilderness of Qi State, Yiyangjiu's tall back cast a long shadow on the long road. Ji Yingchu held hands with him, and Mei Er fell asleep in her arms. Gradually disappear. The biggest dream of the ill-fated Yiyang family in life is just the simplest peaceful and simple life, but what awaits them in Weiguo at this moment is another even more tragic change.

In 660 BC, Duke Yi, the monarch of the Wei State, aroused public resentment because he favored the Cranes. The Rong and Di tribes on the border took the opportunity to attack the State of Wei on a large scale, and almost wiped out this powerful country. Even the monarch, Duke Wei Yi, was killed. Incomplete. By the time Yiyangjiu and Ji Yingchu returned to Weiguo, the entire Weiguo had been dilapidated, and this powerful country in the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty had declined. The treasures and properties of the whole country of Wei were almost robbed by Rong Di, so it was impossible to revive again. At this time, Duke Huan of Qi Xiaobai's hegemony had gradually become a reality. Duke Huan of Qi decided to help the country of Wei recover.

Not long after Rongdi broke through the Wei State, Duke Huan of Qi led the Eastern Zhou Dynasty Prime Minister Guan Zhong and other Qi elites to visit the dilapidated Wei State in person to direct the rebuilding work. On this day, Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong were inspecting the reconstruction project of the state of Wei. Guan Zhong looked around, but recognized a tall figure among the workers. Yi Yang Jiu. After Yiyangjiu and Ji Yingchu returned to Weiguo that day, they saw that Weiguo was in ruins, but looking at the world, there was no feudal country that they wanted to live in, so they stayed in Weiguo to rebuild their homeland. After a while, Yiyang Jiu also knew that Duke Huan of Qi and Guan Zhong had come to the state of Wei, but when he was in the state of Qi, he already had the idea of ​​not seeing these old friends for the rest of his life, so he didn't come out to meet Guan Zhong, but he was tall and tall, and he was still seen by the sharp-eyed people in the crowd. Guan Zhong recognized it. After Guan Zhong met Yi Yangjiu, he didn't treat Yi Yangjiu rudely because of his status and admiration at the moment. Instead, he asked him about his recent situation very affectionately. Seeing you, I am even more excited to introduce him to Duke Huan of Qi. Duke Huan of Qi, Xiaobai, was the head of the "Five Overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period" in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so he was naturally very interested in recruiting talents. Now that he learned about the meeting between Guan Zhong and Yiyang Jiu, he also ordered his subordinates to call Yiyang with a smile. Nine went over to speak. But that Yi Yangjiu was a stubborn and stubborn person. Qi Huangong went to meet someone else, but he just "hummed", but said something that made Guan Zhong break into a cold sweat. And this brave and straightforward words will have an extremely far-reaching impact in the future. "I, Yi Yangjiu, am a savage from the state of Wei. I have never been a citizen of the state of Qi. Moreover, I only know that there is a son Jiu in the world, but I don't know what Duke Huan of Qi is!" After finishing speaking, Yi Yangjiu showed a stubborn look of disdain, turned his head and left, leaving Guan Zhong and Duke Huan of Qi on the spot. The slave didn't dare to hide it, so he hurried back to report to Duke Huan of Qi. Even though Guan Zhong wanted to help Yi Yang nine times, but Yi Yangjiu's words were too serious, so how dare the slave be negligent, and he immediately reported back every word. Let Duke Huan of Qi know. After hearing Yi Yangjiu's answer, Qi Huan Gong Xiaobai's face was dull, his hands rested on the shaft of the chariot, and he looked around leisurely, as if he didn't care about his ceremony. The overlord of Spring and Autumn should be so calm and open-minded. At this time, Guan Zhong also braced himself, pretending to be relaxed and said: "These ordinary people in the country don't understand etiquette, and they don't know the importance of speaking like this, and they still look at the master..." All of a sudden, there was only a "pop". Guan Zhong looked down, and was so frightened that he fell silent, not daring to say a word again. It turned out that Duke Huan of Qi was originally holding the shaft of the chariot with his hands, but at this time the shaft of the chariot had already been broken by him. It was at this moment that Guan Zhong remembered that he had never seen Duke Huan of Qi so angry during his long stay with Duke Huan of Qi. After Yi Yangjiu met Guan Zhong in Weicheng, he also knew that he had caused great trouble, so he and Ji Yingchu moved away overnight, and the family of three moved to a deeper mountain, logging and farming for a living. Another advantage of living on the mountain is that it is more convenient to collect herbs to treat Meier's stupidity, so the family lived on the mountain for a long time. The herbal prescription of the primordial spirit "Bian Que" was really effective. Under the careful care of her parents, Meier's stupid and twisted situation improved day by day. In less than a year, she could already call "Dad, Mom", and her eyes also changed. Instead of being sluggish in the past, with a lively look from time to time, Yi Yangjiu and his wife remembered what the doctor said "it can be cured", and they felt a little more hopeful in their hearts. The years of living in the mountains were long and unremarkable, and the family of three stayed away from worldly affairs. Although their lives were poor, they were peaceful and content.Yi Yangjiu is not a person who pursues fame and fortune, but Ji Yingchu has been in turmoil since she was a child, and such a peaceful life is her greatest hope in her life. A few more years passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, Mei Er was already a child of nearly ten years old. Although her speech and actions were still somewhat sluggish, she was much better than she was completely ignorant of human affairs a few years ago. But these years, Ji Yingchu's old injuries seem to have started to affect her health again. Back then, she was turned into earth and stone by "Ben Yang" for nearly half a year, and her physique was greatly damaged. Although she has been recuperated, she will feel unwell after a few more days of exertion. On this day, Ji Yingchu suffered from the wind and cold and was resting in the thatched hut. Yi Yangjiu carried Meier to the barren field where he was working, and talked to her while farming. Although there is no flat field on this mountain, but Yiyangjiu has radish leaves to help, and the crops grow luxuriantly, so it is no problem to support a family.This way, it is very ingenious to follow the old path of the ancestors of Yangtongye, relying on the ability of Yuanshen to farm and survive. After tidying up in the field for a while, Yi Yangjiu sweated, and was about to feed Meier some water, but saw a few people in fine clothes coming up the mountain path not far away.He looked at it curiously, and the whole person froze on the spot. Because the ones who appeared on this nameless barren mountain at this moment were actually his old friends of the Wei Kingdom, Yi Ya, Kai Fang, and Shu Diao! These people used to be Yi Yangjiu's close friends when they were young. Back then, because of his affairs, Yi Ya and others went to the mountains and seas, and wandered among the various kingdoms. There are achievements, and they gradually lose contact. Seeing these young and old friends at this moment should have been a joyful event, but behind Yi Yangjiu's joy, for some reason, there were many complicated and strange feelings. The embarrassing atmosphere was not resolved as Yi Ya and the others gradually approached. I saw the three of them wearing gorgeous brocade clothes, followed by a few attendants, carrying heavy gifts, walking very hard on the mountain path . Yi Yangjiu stood in the field at a loss, saw Yi Ya with a wide smile on his face, and waved to him. "Xiao Jiu! Are you still in a daze after seeing your old friend? Why don't you tell me to drink a glass of wine to quench your thirst?" Hearing what he said, Kai Fang and Shu Diao both laughed, Yi Yangjiu thought about it, relaxed his mind, and laughed. They haven't seen each other for many years, and they are a bit unfamiliar when they meet each other, but the old friendship between the teenagers is deep after all. After talking a few words and talking about the past, the atmosphere gradually loosens up. Yi Yangjiu took a group of people back to the hut. The sick Ji Yingchu was also very surprised to see the three of them. After talking with everyone, he went back to the back room to rest. In the hut, Yi Yangjiu set out some side dishes, Yi Ya couldn't help itching and fried some, and he brought a lot of good wine with him, and the few of them drank to their heart's content. Yi Ya and the others are all high-ranking officials and ministers of the Qi State at this time, but when they came to Yiyangjiu's hut, they were very polite. Besides complimenting him, they also told jokes, making the atmosphere harmonious and warm. Even though he was a bit unhappy at the beginning, under the catalysis of food and drink, Yi Yangjiu relaxed his mood, and started talking and laughing with Yi Ya and others like when he was young. During the joking conversation, he couldn't help but began to criticize Yi Ya's way of using children as food was too wicked, and said that Shu Diao is such a man, why did he castrate himself to become an eunuch?In this way, no matter how big an official is, it doesn't make any sense, does it? But Yi Ya and Shu Diao seemed to be extremely tolerant to him, and they were not angry when they heard his slightly drunk accusations, they just insisted on asking him to eat and drink. After the scolding was over, Yi Yangjiu also heard that Kaifang had been promoted again recently, and was about to ask him with a smile if he did something outrageous to get promoted, when his head suddenly became dizzy, and the wine glass in his hand rang "It fell to the ground with a sound. He shook his head slightly, feeling slightly surprised, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he smiled innocently, without even the slightest suspicion, "Why has my drinking capacity deteriorated recently..." In recent years, he has still made progress in his primordial spirit ability, and Luo Ye would warn him in advance if anything goes wrong, so he unsuspectingly had a good drink with Yi Ya and the others. Yi Yangjiu bent down to clean up the broken bowl, but his body was even weaker, and he fell to the ground when his legs were bent, as if it was very difficult to lift his fingers. At this moment he felt a little startled, but he still didn't believe that he would be approached by any poison, because Luo Ye's vigilance ability was extremely strong, and he could detect even the slightest ailment. "Luoye..." Yi Yangjiu cried out silently in his heart: "What happened?" But Luo Ye didn't answer a word, just stood aside numbly, as if she had been frozen. Yi Yangjiu fell on the ground and struggled, tried to raise his head, but saw Yi Ya walking over, stared at him for a while, then raised his fat foot, and stepped on Yi Yangjiu's hand forcefully. The force of this step was so great that Yi Yangjiu couldn't help but groaned in pain. "It seems that you really can't move," Yi Ya sneered, "I thought you were capable." Kai Fang and Shu Diao beside him were also expressionless, looking coldly at Yi Yangjiu who was lying on the ground. Only then did Yi Yangjiu realize that the purpose of these three young old friends' trip was not to reminisce about the past, but most likely to kill him.All of a sudden, there were mixed feelings in my chest, disappointment, anger, and even sadness. "Why..." Yi Yangjiu said in a low voice, as if he was just talking to himself, "Why do you want to kill me?" Yi Ya, Kai Fang, and Shu Diao looked at each other, their expressions still cold. "It doesn't matter why, it doesn't matter if you offend anyone, but even our monarch Huan Gong wants to offend," Shu Diao sneered, "So we have no choice but to feel sorry for you." "Duke Huan, it really is him..." Yi Yangjiu whispered, "But you are my good friends! Why do you treat me like this?" "Good friend?" Yi Ya spat: "Aren't we sorry for you for the rest of our lives? You have to be fucking strong, and if something goes wrong, we will follow you to carry it. The good reputation belongs to you, and so do all the pretty girls." You, what about us? Have you ever thought about our feelings?" "I thought about it," Yi Yangjiu's voice became lower and lower, "so I am always very grateful to you..." "Thanks to us!" The vertical sable on the side said sharply: "That's really difficult for you, Brother Yiyangjiu. Your whole family was killed, and we fled with you. If something happened to your woman, we will follow you Look around for some ghost Yuanying. You have made a feud with someone, and we will fight with you. It doesn't matter, I was beaten so badly because of your affairs, so miserable that my balls were injured and rotten. It can be cut off, I lost my balls because of you, a big hero, and in the end you still laughed at me for being a eunuch, I don’t want to thank you for this kind of gratitude!” When he spoke of excitement, his voice became even more high-pitched. "I have never married a wife in my fucking life, and it is even more impossible to marry now. Fortunately, you have a wife and a daughter, and you will hinder my future in the end. Such a 'good' friend, I really don't want it!" Yi Yangjiu was astonished, and slowly asked: "Hinder? When did I hinder your future?" Kai Fang, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't help but said at this time: "Just because you offended the king, and you didn't want to be used by him, Duke Huan has already said that he will kill you. Because he said again' It’s okay to offend me, but the person who can’t help me dominate, why should I spare his life?”, just because we have a good relationship with you, so he gave us two choices, one is to die with you, and the other is to die with you. Take the heads of your whole family and protect the prosperity and wealth of the three of us. Please think about us, if you were us, what would you do?" Yi Yangjiu is silent, but his heart is sad like a knife. Yi Ya said leisurely: "But we have experienced your talent before, so everyone came up with a plan, instead of working on wine and tea, just immobilize your 'radish leaves'. This is a gathering It is only the primordial spirits of the three of us who have done so well." Having said that, he let out a long sigh, but took out a gleaming sharp knife in his hand. "Okay, everything is just like this. You and I are also friends. As long as you don't mess around, I will try my best to protect your whole body." While talking, he approached Yiyangjiu, raised his sharp knife, and saw It's about to row to Yiyangjiu's throat... At this moment, a loud "bang bang bang" was heard from the four walls of the thatched hut, and the four walls of the whole hut burst open immediately, and the thatched roof fell heavily, covering everyone's bodies. This accident happened extremely quickly, and grass clippings and dust were scattered in all directions. Yi Ya always had a sharp knife in his hand, and he was about to kill Yi Yangjiu with a single knife, but the collapse of the thatched roof made him lose his hand. In the chaos, his mouth and nose scattered grass dust, making the fat man choke and cough . Moreover, it seemed that screams were still heard in the chaotic air.
