The monarchs and ministers of the Jin State returned to Xinjiang, and people have been waiting for news from the people of Qi. However, the Duke of Qi Zhuang sent people to say that Zhou Xuan and the others had abandoned Luan Ying, and they no longer had the status of "Luan's henchmen" stipulated by the Shang Ren Conference, and all Qi people would not imprison them according to the requirements of the covenant.

Shi Lu was worried all day long, and Le Wang Kun came over and said, "Since you can't force the Qi people to hand over the traitors, why doesn't the master call them back?" Those people are all first-class warriors, and if the master doesn't take the lead, the other ministers will also take action. ”

Shi Kuo said: "They are all Luan Ying's warriors, how can I recall them?" ”

Le Wang said, "The Master becomes their master, and they are the Master's warriors." ”

Shi Kuo relayed this conversation to Shi Ying, and asked him for advice. "No way," said the martingale. The reason why those people ran away was because they wanted to assist Luan Ying in achieving great things, and it was impossible to be bought. You also believe the words of the people of Qi State! The reason why Zhou Xuan did not go to Chu was because Luan Ying was going to come to Qi State, and his father had to strengthen his guard. ”

Qi Zhuang Gong saw that the people of the Jin Kingdom had nothing to do with him, so he became more and more indifferent. He released Zhu Xuan, Xing Kuai, and others from the safe house and incorporated them into the pro-guard. He showed off the "strongest guard in the world" mixed by Qi and Jin warriors, Cui Shu was noncommittal, Yan Ying scoffed, and Erhui and Qingfeng were very envious.

At one point, Gong Qi Zhuang pointed to Zhu Xuan and Guo Shi and said, "These two are widowed roosters. ”

The situation of colonization has already been introduced, and Guo was released and returned to China after the reconciliation between Qi and Jin.

Since those two men had been prisoners of war under him, Zhou Yu smiled maliciously: "Who would dare to object to the rooster you identified?" But the minister suddenly remembered that in the Battle of Pingyin back then, I was ahead of the second son. ”

The face of the "second son" suddenly became very ugly, and the two of them took a step forward, holding the hilt of the sword in their hands, and glared angrily at Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan did not flinch, and stepped forward to meet the gaze of the two.

Gong Qi Zhuang hurriedly squeezed in to play the round, and he said to the two of them: "The widow has decided to set up a kind of 'brave lord' to be awarded to the national warriors, do you two want to get it?" ”

Both nodded excitedly. Zhou Xuan said defiantly: "In the battle against the east gate of Linzi, my horse plate could not move forward, and I counted the nails of the east gate clearly. Can this title be conferred on a courtier? ”

Seeing that he always exposed Qi Guo's scars, Qi Zhuang Gong couldn't help but sink his face and said, "You are for Jin Guo." ”

Zhou Yu said: "I am the new minister of Qi State, and I have not had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the monarch and marquis." But those two men, if I were to compare them to beasts, I would have eaten their flesh and covered their skins. ”

Qi Zhuang Gong said: "That's right, they really have no reason to argue with you, but the widow can't give the title to the person who has no merit, and today is the end of it, you should work hard!" ”

After Luan Ying defected to the Chu State, King Chu Kang was very excited, because the ministers who fled from the Chu State to the Jin State were of very high rank, but they had never accepted the Jin exiles at the level of the secretary state, and he was also the grandson of the world-famous Luan Shu. King Chu Kang gave him a position as a secretary and prepared to formally appoint him as a secretary at the appropriate time.

But Luan Ying is not interested in glory and wealth, and there are only two bloody words engraved in his heart: "revenge"!

At that time, Prince Wu of Ling Yin had just died, and King Chu Kang wanted to appoint Xue Ao (Sun Shu Ao)'s son Xue Zi Feng as Ling Yin. Lord Xue Zi Feng inherited the genes of his great-grandfather Xue Luchen's cautiousness and wisdom to protect his life; He desperately wants to climb to the top, but he knows that the court is sinister, and the higher the status, the greater the risk. Worried about an unknowable future, he asked his old friend Shin Shuyu, who was known for his wisdom, for advice. Shen Shuyu said: "The country has many powerful ministers and the royal power is weak, and Ling Yin's position is a position that the ministers must fight for, and they will inevitably have the intention of killing." There are still so many old princes in the royal family, I advise the master to refuse the king's kindness! ”

But Xue Zifeng did not dare to directly refuse the appointment after all, so he planned to solve the problem in an "objective can't" way. When he returned home, he ordered a hole to be dug in the ground, a bed was moved in, and the hole was filled with ice. He was wrapped in a fur coat and lived in it with a curtailed diet. After two days, his body became very weak. Xue Zi Feng sent his son Xue to ask King Chu Kang for sick leave, and asked King Kang to change his name to Ling Yin.

King Chu Kang was suspicious, and immediately sent the imperial doctor to visit the patient. Xue Zifeng got the news, hurriedly threw off the mink, climbed up from the cellar, and ran back to the main bed to lie down.

After some diagnosis, the imperial doctor really couldn't figure out what illness he had, so he had to reply to King Chu Kang and said: "The minister can't understand Dr. Xue's illness either: his body is thin and weak, and the cold in his body is very heavy, but his qi and blood are not unusual. On this hot day, it seems to be caused by cold and hunger. ”

King Chu Kang gave the position to the prince Chai Shu (Zinan). Two months later, Luan Ying fled to the state of Chu. After Luan Ying settled down in the Chu State, he began to peddle his strategy of cutting down the Jin Dynasty; He first lobbied King Chu Kang, but later found that King Chu Kang's status was similar to that of Jin Pinggong, and the power was in the hands of the princes and doctors. He tried to persuade the prince to chase Shu, but the other party didn't care what he wanted or said. He was unwilling to give up, so he went down one family according to the position of the royal minister.

In fact, Wang Ziwu was one of the few remaining ministers of the Chu State at that time who put state affairs first. After his death, others spoke softly, and the royal family became slack and degenerate.

Luan Ying ran around all day long, but did not get any support; In addition to being physically and mentally exhausted, he was disappointed and angry at the inertia and greed of the Chu people. Every time Luan Ying was rejected, he had to rely on alcohol anesthesia to get temporary relief, and he also scolded the bureaucrats of Chu State more than once when he was drunk, saying that they looked like dogs, but in fact they were full of men and women thieves; The archway at the door is more spectacular than the other, and the one in the back is cheaper than the other.

Luan Ying did come to the wrong place, even if it was King Mu and King Zhuang sitting on the throne, it was impossible for them to consider a plan to attack the Jin mainland, because that kind of crazy idea was only equivalent to a fool's dream.

Later, Mo Ao Qujian really couldn't bear to see Luan Ying's physical and mental exhaustion and fruitless work, and he was afraid that he would be retaliated against by the ministers, so he persuaded him: "The monarch of Chu is weak and the ministers are strong, and the ministers do not seek state affairs but only care about attacking political enemies and exploiting the people, and it is a fait accompli that Chu does not compete." The king is still helpless, so it is not something that can be changed by the master's rhetoric. There is no hope for the state of Chu! The master enjoys the king's fortune here, but scolds the powerful ministers of the Chu State over there, which is really dangerous! I advise the master to make plans early! ”
