There are no hotels in Xianyang City, only restaurants, restaurants, etc., but the word "hotel" in Shouchun City is hung majestically on a flag.
now.
In a magnificently decorated hotel.
Several clan members were getting drunk.
The Ten Young Masters of the Qin Dynasty will investigate the prophecy in the near future. They have already heard about it, and within the past twenty days, the clan has reacted extremely strongly to it. They have proposed to relocate the clan many times, and even took some actions, but the follow-up
However, they were all stopped by other nobles and Chu officials. These people also used this coercion to force them to stay here to deal with the menacing attack of the Qin court in order to protect the safety of the Chu land.
After many arguments, the clan finally chose to compromise.
Let a few of the clan members leave.
The vast majority will be left behind, and they will naturally be the ones left behind.
In response, they were filled with grief and anger.
How could they not know that Qin Ting was approaching with great force, and the other nobles of Chu clearly wanted them to die, so that their death would alleviate Qin Ting's suspicion of Chu, and thus save themselves.
Qu Bo took a sip of wine.
He cursed angrily:
"It's all the fault of Chu Nan Gong, this bad old man. If it weren't for him, how would our three major clans have suffered such humiliation? Now the nobles of Chu, big and small, and officials from all over Chu are going to battle, just to put us to death. All of this
The root cause lies in Chu Nan Gong’s nonsense!”
"This old guy really deserves death!"
"If we weren't trapped in the city, I would have found his tomb, dug up his bones and scattered his ashes!"
"Otherwise, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
Zhaozhou licked his lips and filled himself a glass.
Wei tipsy said:
"What's the point of talking about this?"
"We are a dead man now."
"Some time ago, before the clan made an agreement with other nobles, no one in our three major clans wanted to escape secretly, but you all saw the result. The next day, the body was hung in front of the door of the house where I was waiting.
Is there anyone who can’t see the intentions of these nobles?”
"They deliberately want us to die!"
"Now......"
Zhaozhou took a big sip, his face was already red from drunkenness, but he didn't care at all. He was a dying person, so he would care so much, and he could enjoy more for a while.
"The clan has already selected candidates for escape, and they have been leaving the city one after another in the past few days."
"We are all outcasts!"
"well."
"Brother Qu, Brother Jing, what's the reason for this?"
"I can't figure it out?"
"Our three major clans are clearly Chu Kingdom clans, why are we reduced to this? We were not so aggrieved in Xianyang before, right? Although we didn't drink too much, at least we were safe. Why did we return to Shouchun? Everything
Everything has changed? Isn’t this the Shouchun of our three major clans?”
"Why do you still have to endure this kind of temper in your own home?"
"why is that?"
Zhaozhou couldn't understand.
He drank heavily, trying to make himself confused.
But the wine of this era is intoxicating but not intoxicating!
Qu Bo shook his head.
Keep yourself standing.
He shouted:
"Why?"
"Isn't it all the fault of that damned Tyrant Qin?"
"If the Chu Kingdom were still here, which of those nobles would not give a damn about us? Which one would dare to point fingers at us, and which one would dare to really plot against us?"
"How could we, the dignified princes of the Chu Kingdom, end up in this situation?"
"If it weren't for Qin, how could we be like this?!"
Qu Bo shouted angrily.
There was anger in his heart at this moment.
That is unwillingness and frustration.
I think about how glorious and elegant they were when the Chu Kingdom was still in existence. When other noble officials saw them, which one would not lower their heads and lower their eyebrows? Does anyone dare to threaten them? Does anyone dare to let them die? Does anyone dare to threaten them?
Do they say a bad word?
No!
But now everything has changed.
The Xiang family, the Song family, and the Tang family, who were originally just begging for mercy, dared to bite their noses in the face, and even dared to team up with other nobles to threaten them, and even killed people without saying a word. How could they regard them as the Duke of Chu?
This is really unreasonable!
Think of this.
Qu Bo even slapped the case fiercely.
Jing Ju sat quietly aside, sipping his drink with a gloomy expression. He was not hysterical like the others, but looked unusually calm, his eyes rolling from time to time, as if he was thinking about something.
a long time.
Jing Ju said: "Do you really want to die?"
Zhaozhou sneered.
He snorted coldly:
"What else can I do if I don't wait to die?"
"Escape?"
"The blood stains on the door of the clan haven't dried yet."
"It's not like you haven't seen the scenes in the Ri clan these days. It can be said to be unprecedented in scale. That scene was nothing more than that when the King of Chu was still here, right?"
“The crowds are bustling!”
"None of these people want us alive."
"They all want us dead."
"Right now outside this hotel, or even in this hotel, how many people are staring at us? As long as we dare to have the idea of escape, as long as we dare to really escape, I am afraid that my head will soon be destroyed.
It’s about to land and will appear at the gate of the clan soon.”
"escape?"
"How to escape?"
"Riding your life to die?"
"How many more days can I live now?"
Qu Bo also said:
"I know Brother Jing, you don't want to die."
"But who wants to die?"
"But you should also know that the clan and other nobles have long agreed to release only those people who have been selected over and over again by the clan. We cannot escape. If we escape, the lives of those people will be at stake.
We will definitely be able to keep it, then..."
"Our three major clans may really be exterminated!"
"And it's not like you weren't there? You heard what people like Xiang Liang and Song Yi said. They said they couldn't let us escape too far, otherwise it would be difficult to explain to the Qin people, and they would be implicated.
It will also delay the restoration of Chu State."
"These people talk plausibly, but we are the Dukes of Chu. They don't want to protect us. Instead, they want to push us out to die. We don't know whether they are Qin people or Chu people."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's so ridiculous!"
"I have told the people in the clan a long time ago."
"These people who are not from official backgrounds are not trustworthy."
"As soon as we encounter any trouble, what they think of is not to help us solve our problems, but to let us die as soon as possible without affecting them."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Qu Bo laughed a few times, his eyes full of pain.
He opened the wine can and drank heavily, but tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
he knows.
They are finished!
The other people in the room also looked sad.
Everyone held their wine bottles high and once again indulged in the drunkenness.
Jing Ju held the wine bottle, but it was difficult to drink.
He was unwilling to do so.
And he really doesn't want to die.
Jingju said:
"I recently met someone."
"He said he had a way to take us out quietly."
The voice fell.
The originally noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet. Qu Bo looked over fiercely, his hand holding the wine glass trembled, his eyes burst into intense light, and he shouted: "Are you telling the truth?"
Then he realized that his voice was a bit loud, so he glanced at the doors and windows warily, and quickly suppressed his voice.
whispered:
"Can someone really take us out?"
Jing Ju shook his head.
said:
"I have no idea."
"But I want to give it a try."
"I'm not willing to just wait for death."
"Besides, it's already like this, so I can't worry about it anymore."
"I have observed this person recently, and he does have some skills. At this time, he was able to approach me quietly without being noticed by the outside world. He must have some skills."
Hear the words.
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly.
Everyone who was a little drunk at first suddenly became clear-headed.
Zhaozhou asked: "What is the origin of this person?"
Jing Ju frowned slightly.
He said in a condensed voice: "This man was once a guest of Prince Xinling of Wei Gongzi."
"Mr. Xinling?" Everyone who was still doubtful at first became completely energetic at this moment.
Lord Xinling, they certainly knew that he was a famous person in the world. At that time, Lord Mengchang, Tian Wen, Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, and Chunshen Lord Huang Xie were known as the four great princes. They had a great reputation. This person must be one of his disciples.
Something extraordinary.
See the situation.
Jing Ju secretly smiled bitterly.
He added: "This man was indeed a guest of Lord Xinling, but after Lord Xinling died, he returned to his hometown. Now he is just the chief of the Weimo Pavilion in Peixian County."
"ah?"
"A pavilion chief?"
"this......"
"Brother Jing, are you kidding?"
"Is this what Mr. Xinling's retainer has? He has become a pavilion chief after so many years?"
"Can you believe what this kind of person says?"
"Brother Jing, are you confused for a moment?"
Upon hearing that it was the chief of the pavilion, the excitement on everyone's faces disappeared instantly, and their words were full of doubts and dissatisfaction.
They thought he was some great talent.
result?
Just a humble pavilion chief, how can he save them?
This is not because they underestimated him. If this person was really capable, how could he still be just a small pavilion chief after more than ten years? And he was still in Peixian County. Peixian County was under the jurisdiction of Sishui County and was still some distance away from Shouchun.
Being so far apart, no matter how capable he is as the pavilion chief, can he still interfere in Shouchun's affairs?
This is clearly making fun of them and treating their lives as child's play.
Jing Ju also looked a little embarrassed.
He naturally knew that this person's status was indeed somewhat lowly.
But they have all reached this point, and they can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
and......
He always felt that this person was not simple.
Maybe there really is a way.
Jing Ju said slowly: "I know you have doubts, but now that the matter has come to this, what else can we do? Anyway, it is a dead end. If not, just believe it boldly once. If it succeeds, I will regain my freedom and return then."
Wouldn't it be possible to be free and happy again if you join the clan?"
"If it doesn't work."
"We are just waiting to be killed. What difference does it make if we die early or die later?"
"I still want to try it."
"otherwise......."
"I can not be reconciled!"
Qu Bo looked at Jing Ju with helpless eyes and said: "Brother Jing, don't blame me for talking about you. If he were an official in Shouchun, I would have no problem letting you try. But he is just the chief of a pavilion in Peixian County. If it really happens,
He may have a way to escape when the time comes, but we don't."
"You won't be the only one who will be affected by this."
