Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 343
Xue Cheng.

In a hall with carved beams and painted buildings, Qingji was reading the good news from the front line.

Wu Jun's [-]-step cavalry can naturally attack Chu's Suishui land all the way.

Because over the years, Chu State's national strength has been declining day by day, and gradually lost the power to look north to the Central Plains. Naturally, there are not many soldiers and horses stationed in the land of Suishui.

"Bo Tong, what's the situation with Tian Qi and Marquis Qi?"

Qingji asked Tingwei Botong who was standing aside again.

Almost every day, Qingji had to ask about this matter.

Because Tian begging is a hidden chess move he played in Qi State, maybe this chess piece can really overthrow Qi State and disrupt the general trend of the world!
Bo Tong hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Tian Qi and Marquis Qi have been imprisoned together for three full days. The two who haven't had water or rice for a long time are already dying like dying people!"

"Qihou didn't beg for mercy?"

"I didn't ask for forgiveness."

"Didn't Tian Qi surrender to Wu?"

"Never."

This surprised Qingji a little.

Can a person really survive without eating or drinking for so many days?
Even a person with strong willpower can't do it, right?

"How did Marquis Qi and Tian Qi survive these days?"

"Reporting to the king, as usual. Tian Qi went to the tree to dig out bird eggs, and caught mice for food."

Bo Tong said in horror: "Yesterday, according to the report of the guards, Tian Qi even cut off his own thigh meat like Jie Zitui in the past, and fed Qihou with barbecue..."

Hearing this, Qingji fell into silence.

Tian Qi is really a ruthless person!
He was able to feed Qi Hou pestle and mortar with his own body meat, just like Jie Zitui who "cut off his shares to serve the king".

One must know that Qingji deliberately locked Chujiu and Tian Qi together for his own purpose.

As the saying goes, the road is far from knowing the horsepower, and it will see people's hearts over time.

See the truth in trouble!
If Chujiu, who is in a desperate situation, can see Tian Qi's "noble character" and have the experience of sharing adversity, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers will definitely go a step further.

Then maybe Tian Qi can rely on his own ability, and if Qing Ji is behind the scenes to fuel the flames, he can really become the prime minister of Qi State and let the "Tian Shi replace Qi" event be staged in advance.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly, Tian Qi is hypocritical, hypocritical, hypocritical, and hypocritical. If he gains power, I am afraid that our country of Qi may not be able to control Tian Qi."

Bo Tong said worriedly.

After all, it is rare to see such a "ruthless person".

Tian Qi is not Jie Zitui!

He is not worthy to be compared with Jie Zitui!
Who is Jie Zitui?

In the early years, when Jin Wengong Chong'er died, his father Xiangong chased him first, and then his brother Jin Huigong hunted him down.

Chong'er often has nothing to eat and no clothes to cover his body!

One year when he fled to the state of Wei, a follower named Touxu stole all of Chong'er's resources and fled into the mountains.

Chong'er had no food and was so hungry that he wanted to beg from the farmer, but not only did he not ask for food, but was teased by the farmers for using clods of soil as food.

Later, Chonger almost fainted from hunger. In order to save Chonger's life, Jiezi pushed him into the ravine, cut off a piece of meat from his leg, and cooked it together with the picked wild vegetables into soup for Chonger.

When Chong'er ate it and found out that it was the meat from Jie Zitui's legs, Chong'er was greatly moved and claimed that he would become a king one day and he would repay Jie Zitui well.

When Chong'er was in trouble, Jie Zitui could be so heartless and loyal, which is really commendable.

After that, Jie Zitui did not take the initiative to ask for rewards like Tao Shuhu and Hu Yan.

Some people who did not flee with Jin Wengong came to ask for rewards by saying some ugly words for petty gain. Jie Zitui was very angry because of this, and then lived in seclusion in Mianshan, becoming a hermit who did not eat the king's salary.

Jin Wengong personally led a large number of people to Mianshan to look for it.

Unexpectedly, the Mianshan Mountain winds for dozens of miles, with many mountains and mountains, deep valleys and dense forests, so it is impossible to find it!

Jin Wengong was eager to ask for help, listened to the words of the villain, and ordered the mountain to be burned on three sides.

Unexpectedly, the fire burned for three days, and Jie Zitui was nowhere to be seen.

Duke Wen of Jin ordered people to set fire to the front and back of the mountain, which stretched for several miles. The fire lasted for three days, but Jie Zitui never came out.

Later someone found Jie Zitui's body under a withered willow tree. Jie Zitui "hugged the tree and died".
He brought a piece of charred willow back to the palace to make a pair of clogs, looked at it every day and sighed: "It's a pity, my step."

Since then, "one step" has become a term of mutual respect between subordinates to superiors or peers, and it is said that it originated from this.

Wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and might cannot be subdued!
It was people like Jie Zitui who said it.

But Tian Qi is just doing whatever it takes to achieve his goal!

"From the beginning to the end, the widow never thought of instigating against Tian Qi, thinking that it should be done internally."

Qing Ji said with a light smile: "Since Tian Qi has already reached this point, it's fine!"

"Give food, wine and meat to them one by one. Tomorrow morning, we will release the monarchs and ministers of Qi State and settle the matter."

An ambitious man like Tian Qi is really hard to control.

Qing Ji never thought about controlling Tian Qi!

He just wanted to muddy the waters of Qi State, to see how far Tian Qi could do it!

The next day, Qingji led the generals to bid farewell to Qihou Chujiu, Tian Qi and other captured officials of Qi State at the gate of Xuecheng.

After eating and drinking, Chujiu regained some energy, but when he saw Qingji, his face was not very good-looking.

The six days of being banned by Qingji circle are probably unforgettable for Chujiu's life, and I hate Qingji to death.

But, as the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves!

Chujiu didn't dare to be presumptuous at this time.

"Marquis Qi, it's my fault! It's my fault!"

When Qingji saw Chujiu, he almost beat his chest and said, "I have been busy with military affairs these few days, so I forgot that Marquis Qi is here!"

"To the extent that I was negligent for a while, I almost made a big mistake! Uncle! How do you do things? Didn't the widow tell you to take good care of Marquis Qi?"

Seeing Qingji's attitude, Bo Tong secretly praised him.

Your Majesty's ability to act on every occasion is truly unmatched by ordinary people!
If Bo Tong hadn't known the truth, he might have believed it!

Bo Tong also said remorsefully: "Your Majesty, calm down! I also treat people unkindly, and I never thought that Marquis Qi would be treated like this."

"Fortunately, Marquis Qi is safe, and the minister has already severely punished those who disobeyed the king's orders!"

"This kind of thing, I don't want to have a second time."

"promise!"

Seeing Qingji and Botong singing the double reed, Chujiu felt a wave of contempt.

"It turned out that this was a misunderstanding! Hahahaha!"

Chujiu forced a smile and said.

"Misunderstanding, it is a misunderstanding."

Qingji took Chujiu's hand, smiled slightly and said, "Qihou, I'm not entertaining you well, please forgive me."

"Where, where."

Chujiu laughed at himself and said, "It's a fluke that the widow can live till now. I don't know how Jun Wu plans to deal with the widow?"

They have already been delivered to the gate of the city, does Chujiu really not know Qingji's next plan?
