Meng Sunheji felt pain in his wrist and almost shed tears again.
"This...how is this inappropriate?"
"Yang Hu! Don't be rude to the sect leader!"
"Oh! You have something to say, why are you so handsy!"
Some of Meng's retainers came forward to criticize, while others came forward to persuade.
But Yang Hu was so tall and strong that there was nothing he could do for a moment!
He was obsessed with Meng Sun Heji, looked around, and said with a sidelong glance:
"Tiger will never dare to make mistakes! But... please come with Tiger!"
As Yang Hu spoke, he actually pulled Meng Sun Heji directly out of the house, and, surrounded by Meng's private soldiers, they climbed onto the northwest corner of the city wall together.
Yang Hu then let go of Meng Sun He Ji's wrist and pointed in the direction of Ji's clan house.
"Everyone, please take a look!"
Everyone went as expected, but saw the Shusun family's private soldiers near the Ji family's residence with flags fluttering and crowds of people, as if they were actually fighting with the Luhou's personal guards!
When everyone saw this situation, they were all shocked and looked at each other for a while.
Everyone present knew that if even the Shusun family supported the Ji family, then what reason did the Meng family have for not supporting it? If you continue to insist on having your own way, I'm afraid you will fall into a situation of no return!
Now, it seems that they, the Meng family, can’t do anything without taking sides!
Just when Meng was stunned, Yang Hu suddenly attacked again!
Hearing a clang sound, he pulled out the sword tied to his waist by Meng Sun He Ji, and rushed behind He E. At this moment, He E was also watching the Shusun family and Lu Hou's personal guards fighting together, and he was still there. In the midst of doubts, he suddenly noticed the strong wind behind him, but before he could react, he felt a chill on his head and neck and his eyes went dark.
A cold light flashed and blood splattered everywhere.
Li Xie's head was chopped off by Yang Hu on the spot!
Then Yang Hu picked up Zhi evil's head, raised it high, and threw it down the city wall, shouting at the same time:
"Meng has killed the traitor Zhe evil!"
When everyone on the city wall heard this, they were all shocked by Yang Hu's decisive killing.
When Meng Sunheji saw such a bloody scene, he fainted directly.
Li E died in their Meng family, and the Shusun family attacked the Marquis of Lu there. From this point of view, the Meng family had no choice but to gather all their troops and horses to assist the Ji family, and rebelled together. Luhou.
How could Lu Houchou have imagined that he would rush in to liquidate the Ji family, but the Meng family and Shusun family who originally supported him would turn against him one after another at this juncture!
Now he is alone and has no choice but to prepare to run away.
When Confucius heard the news, he hurried back. However, the situation was already settled at this time, and he had no time to go to Meng's house to ask about the situation, so he hurriedly went to see Lu Houchou. At this time, Lu Houchou had already ordered people to pack their luggage.
Ji Sunyiru also knew that he could not do anything to Lu Houchou at this time, so he also deliberately let him run away.
After all, only when Lu Hou Chou left the country of Lu could he find a way to get rid of Lu Hou Chou.
Isn't Ji Sun Yiru's intention in setting up such a big picture just to make Lu Hou make a mistake first, and then he can legitimately and completely suppress Lu Hou?
And if he "accidentally" kills Lu Houchou at this time, then he will go round and round, and the name of the lord murder will eventually fall on him.
Therefore, Lu Houchou's life must not be lost.
At the very least, it can’t be lost now.
However, Lu Houchou, who knew that the situation was over but was well versed in it, was not in a hurry to run away at this moment. I even went to the late emperor’s mausoleum and cried bitterly. (Book of Rites: When leaving the country, weep in the tomb before leaving.)
When Confucius entered the tomb, he saw Lu Houchou and said:
"The Ji family intends to let the emperor run away, but there is no need to do so! The emperor can pretend that the ministers are holding him hostage and let the ministers flee, and the emperor can stay. The Ji family will definitely not do anything to the emperor. After all, the status of monarch and minister still exists. On the contrary, it will be more dangerous if the monarch is away from home!"
Lu Houchou was already very upset at this moment. While crying, he replied:
"This is all caused by me and has nothing to do with others! Let them run around while I sit back and enjoy peace. Who can work for me in the future? Besides, if you stay here, even if your life is safe, you will eventually be constrained by it. , there is no interest in life, I might as well run away with them!"
Faced with this situation, Confucius was helpless and had to ask:
"But I don't know where your Majesty wants to go?"
"Qiu, I did this matter in a hurry. I haven't thought of a place yet... If it doesn't work out, how about going to Chu State?"
Confucius thought for a while and said:
"Your Majesty is determined to run away, but you still want to be cautious. Chu is definitely not a good place. In the past, the Marquis of Qi came to Lu, and I had a relationship with the Marquis of Qi and Yan Ying. I would like to go to Qi on your behalf and persuade the Marquis of Qi. Take shelter, Your Majesty!"
"Qiu then went to the Song Dynasty. The two countries of Lu and Song have always been on good terms, and the Duke of Song was also deeply hurt by the conflict between the kings and his ministers. He must have felt the same way as the king. The Duke of Song was very righteous, and the ministers went to talk about it. After hearing about it, Lu Luan will definitely come to help!”
When Lu Houchou heard this, he couldn't help but sigh:
"That's it, it's hard work Qiu. Without further delay, please go and come back as soon as possible!"
At this point, Confucius said goodbye to the Marquis of Lu and went ahead alone to reach Qi State.
After Luhou Chou reported to the tomb, he ran away.
It is incredible to think that the king of a country was forced to flee by his ministers.
At this time, Shu Sunnu, who was still outside, learned of the changes in the country and hurried back to the capital.
However, the matter has come to this, no matter how capable Shusun Nu is, there is nothing he can do about this situation.
In desperation, he had no choice but to pull down and urge Ji Sun Yiru to take the initiative to welcome Lu Hou back.
After all, if this matter continues, it will arouse the anger of the princes. If things go on like this, it will also be disadvantageous for the Lu State and the Ji family.
Ji Sun Yiru agreed at first. However, who knew that this was actually Ji Sun Yiru's delaying strategy.
After all, Ji Sun Yiru now takes the initiative, so waiting and watching is the right move.
Therefore, he first contacted the dark people in secret and inquired about the news in Lu.
After learning and confirming the attitudes of the princes, especially the appeasement attitude of the Jin State, Ji Sun Yiru's ambitions could not help but be further fueled.
Since everything is calm, his taking over the throne has become an established fact.
Therefore, when he saw Shusun Nu again, he changed his attitude and openly started a fight, not preparing to welcome Marquis Lu back to his country.
Shusunnu also knew that he was helpless at this moment, and he also knew that he had become the next target of the Ji family.
In order to prevent the Shusun family from being liquidated, to leave the last hope for the Shusun family, and to further clarify his ambitions, Shusun Nu finally imprisoned himself in the ancestral hall, fasted in bed, and made Zhuqi die. After seven days of hunger strike and prayer, he finally died.
When Lu Houchou heard the news, he burst into tears and was in great pain. It can be said that the last person he could rely on in the country was gone.
At this point, the internal fighting among the three factions that had lasted for more than 150 years since the era of Ji You, Qingfu, and Shuya had finally come to an end.
…
At the same time, on the other side, Song Gongzuo, who was inspired by Confucius and was preparing to go to Jin to act as a lobbyist for Lu Houchou, unexpectedly died on the way.
These things happened almost at the same time, so the secret walker hiding next to Qi Hou lost no time in saying:
"The Duke of Song went to the Jin State to lobby for the Marquis of Lu, but unexpectedly he died on the way. Uncle Sunnu in the Lu State was also rushing to prepare for the return of the Marquis of Lu, and he died suddenly in his own ancestral temple. Is it possible? Is this God trying to cut off Marquis Lu's way back to his country? Could it be that Marquis Lu really felt ashamed of the ghosts and gods and suffered such a misfortune?"
"Are you really prepared to send Marquis Lu back to your country in person? Why don't you put this matter aside for the time being and let your son go to the garrison to assist Marquis Lu. If everything goes well for Marquis Lu, it would be great. Marquis Lu will do the same in the future. The love of Qi State, but if it fails, your Majesty will be able to avoid humiliating yourself!"
"What's more, your Majesty placed him in Yunyi, which can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing!"
The State of Qi was particularly concerned about the return of Marquis Lu from the beginning. After all, only Fang Bo's country, which claims to be the "overlord of the world", can interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
Being able to interfere in Lu's internal affairs can greatly satisfy Qi Hou Chujiu's vanity.
However, Chujiu, the Marquis of Qi, could not help but grumble in his heart because of the mysterious deaths of Song Yuan Gong (Song Gongzuo) and his uncle Sun Zhaozi (Uncle Sunnu).
After weighing the two sides, they had no choice but to give up their established ideas for the time being, and first sent the prince to lead his troops to follow Lu Houchou.
Young Master Choe took the order and set out. At first he was very confident that the Marquis of Lu must be sent back to his country.
However, in the "Battle of Chuubi", the majestic army was finally "lost" to the tired army of Lu. This inexplicable failure made the Marquis of Qi finally firm up in giving up on serving the Marquis of Lu and returning home.
Confucius saw that he could no longer accomplish anything in Qi, so he left Qi.
On the Yuncheng side, since the Marquis of Qi was in high spirits at the beginning, the protection was considered complete.
But as time went by, the Marquis of Qi saw that this incident was of no benefit to the Qi State, and the public voice for sending Lu Marquis back was getting lower and lower, so the protection of Lu Hou Chou became more and more neglected.
Since Lu Houchou ran away, Ji Sun Yiru has been taking charge of the affairs of the emperor in an orderly manner, and secretly continued to send assassins to Yunyi to carry out assassinations.
In order to save his life, Lu Houchou had no choice but to hide in Tibet.
And this is why Li Ran sent Owl Wings to explore Yunyi before, but to no avail.
