Lu Pugui found out that Erhui was about to attack, so he secretly contacted Ziwei and said that he and Wang He could act as the vanguard in the operation to eliminate the Qing clan.

However, Lu Pugui's identity and motives are inevitably suspected, and Ziwei even thinks that Qingfeng wants to test himself through Lu Pugui; He denied it and warned him not to betray his master.

But Lu Puqi was not discouraged, he understood Ziwei's concerns, and simply confessed his true thoughts to Ziwei, saying that he did not want to be a retainer, but to be a doctor.

Lu Puqi also teased Ziwei in the letter that he, as a noble grandson, did not have the courage to be a scholar himself; said that he would rather be a bag of anger under a family of adulterers than puff up his chest to eliminate harm for the country.

Ziwei finally trusted him: because even if Lu Puqi was a spy sent by the Qing clan, Qing Feng could not tolerate him attacking himself so viciously in his letter.

On this day, Lu Puhui and Wang He divined the attack on Qing's operation. Since neither of them had much education, Lu Puqi showed the divination results to Qingshe, and said that it was their friend who divined them to eliminate the enemy and asked them to ask about it. Qing She didn't know that the so-called "friends" were the major families, and the "enemies" were the Qing family, so he thought for a while and said: "I can succeed, but I have to pay the price of blood." ”

In winter and October, the hunting season arrived, and Qingfeng took a large team to Donglai to hunt deer. The guards made up the majority of the team (equivalent to half of the family's armed forces), as well as his wives and concubines, musicians, cooks, slaves, and even eunuchs in the palace, and important people in his entourage, including Qing Hei and Chen Wuyu. This huge hunting party walked east for five days from Linzi, and then crossed the ancient Weishui before arriving at the hunting ground, which was two hundred miles away from the capital.

A few days later, Chen Wuyu received urgent news from his father that his mother was critically ill and asked him to go back immediately. This is a signal that Erhui is about to attack. Chen Wuyu pretended to divinate a hexagram, and the hexagram showed the news of "death", so he hugged the tortoise shell and cried bitterly in front of Qingfeng. Qingfeng asked him to go back first.

Keiji had heard a little about the conspiracy of the ministers, but he couldn't confirm the veracity of the rumors. After coming out of Linzi, he began to deliberately observe Chen Wuyu's every move. Keiji's insight into people's hearts can be three points; He had only been suspicious before, but now he could finally conclude that there would be unrest, and that it would only be a few days away.

He immediately went to see Qingfeng and said, "The Chen family is acting to deceive his father, and we are about to come to a catastrophe!" Erhui is about to make a rebellion, and the most likely day to happen is the day of the festival. We can now go back to Linzi and put down the rebellion. ”

Qingfeng said: "No one in Qi is so bold, and there is still Qingshe in Linzi City. Qingshe is fierce, and no one in the Qi country is not afraid of him. ”

Since Qing Feng neither doubted nor woke up, Qing Hei retreated and said, "The Qing clan is about to perish!" It's a blessing to be able to escape to Wu and Yue! ”

The tasting festival of Qi is scheduled to be held in early November every year. However, from the analysis of the literature, it seems that Qingshe did not want to participate in that grand celebration, perhaps because he did not want to bow to Qi Jinggong.

But if he did not attend the ceremony, the assassination would not have been able to take place: the Qingsha mansion was like a well-defended fortress that was difficult to break through from the outside; Moreover, Lu Puqi and Wang He did not make preparations to die with Qingshe. As a result, people feel anxious and anxious as the set date draws nearer, but there is nothing they can do.

Lu Pujiang's wife, Lu Pujiang, knew her husband's inner anxiety, and she didn't know for what reason (perhaps because she hated her father; Maybe she thinks that the Qing family will fall sooner or later, and she doesn't want to be affected), in short, she also asks to join the cabal and help her husband get rid of the father who is hated by everyone. Lu Pujiang said: "I know the big thing you are planning, and if you want to hide it from me, you must not succeed." ”

Lu Puqi pondered for a moment, and then told his wife about his worries.

Lu Pujiang said: "My father is very stubborn, if you ask him, he will definitely not agree; You intimidate him, but he will come out. I'll leave that to me. ”

Lu Pujiang went home to visit Qingshe, and admonished him with a solemn expression: "My daughter has heard that there are rebellious ministers and thieves who want to attack you on the day of the sacrifice, and my father should be prepared; Don't go out on that day, let alone attend the ceremony! ”

The grumpy and eccentric guy jumped up and shouted, "Who dares to assassinate me? I'm going to go to the tasting festival, I'm going to see who is so bold! ”

When the day of the festival arrived, Linzi City was full of a festive and peaceful atmosphere, the streets were lit up with lights, and people from all over the world came from all over the world to join in the fun. The streets are bustling with people, people dressed in various costumes and speaking with international accents, hawkers shouting loudly, and pickpockets stealing their eyebrows.

The place of worship is in the Taigong Temple within the Gong Palace. When the rooster crowed, Qingshe sent a large number of armor soldiers to the palace city, and the armor soldiers lined up outside the palace walls to carry out the guard task.

At sunset, the ministers arrived in their cars. Outside the cordon, people gathered densely enough to come to see the excitement. The warm-hearted Qi people introduced the names and clans of the ministers who arrived to each foreigner, and they had any lace anecdotes about them, whether they were loved or hated.

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent for a moment, as if they had suddenly become mute, and all remained ominously silent.

Qingshe's convoy arrived, and at the front was the six-rider chariot responsible for opening the way, followed by him in a luxury chariot, followed by a hundred infantrymen. Qingshe slowly stepped out of the Xuan car, and the heavily armed Lu Puqi and Wang He immediately protected the left and right. Qingshe had a murderous cold light in his eyes, and after glancing around, he walked into the palace gate.

The crowd of onlookers left like a crowd of spectators who had dispersed and went to participate in various activities.

The horses were frightened just now, so the soldiers tied them down and kept reassuring them. In a short time, the retainers of the major clans came in a cart full of sumptuous food and wine, and people greeted the Qing clan's clan armor with a smile on their faces and gave them delicious wine and food. Those armorers were so arrogant that they didn't think much about it, they took the wine and meat and began to eat and drink without even saying a word of thanks.

The men had been standing for several hours, and were generally tired and hungry, so they drank faster than usual, and the strength of the wine soon came up. When they felt hot, they took off their heavy armor and laid it on the ground, sat on it, and continued to drink wine and eat meat.

Next, a variety of floats and performance processions pass along the streets outside the palace walls, including the juggling of the Dongyi people, the masquerade parade of the Wu people, the wrestling of the warriors of the Chu state, and the glamorous sound of Zheng Guo and the glamorous dance of Chen Guo's beauties.
