With the strong support of the Marquis of Jin, the Zhou royal family began to recover. It's just that the princes from all over the world don't care much about the Zhou royal family anymore, they are all busy with their own affairs.
After Qi State allied with Huaiguo, it also began to prepare to take action against Ji State and Lai State. However, Ji State and Lu State had a good relationship. If Qi State wanted to annex Ji State, Lu State would definitely take action. The ministers of the State of Qi proposed that a famous beauty in the official palace should be married to the king of the State of Lu.
Wen Jiangnai is a famous beauty in the palace and has a distinguished status. If she can marry Marquis Lu, the relationship between the two countries will definitely become closer.
The ministers all agreed, but Qi Hou felt a little reluctant and hesitant.
After going to court, the Marquis of Qi couldn't help but come to Wen Jiang's residence. Several guards were guarding the door, and the Marquis of Qi entered the house directly.
"My dear, you are here!" This woman has bright eyes and white teeth, peach cheeks with reddish cheeks, eye waves that are full of charm, her skin is as delicate as jade, and her figure is slim and charming.
Wen Jiang was so beautiful, how could the Marquis of Qi hold back? He had secretly brought him into the room a long time ago, just because Wen Jiang was also an official, and the relationship between the two violated human ethics. Although there are many such things in the palaces of various countries, after all, they cannot be talked about openly.
"Wen Jiang..." Qi Hou grabbed the woman's arm and couldn't wait to pick her up and bring her to the bed indoors. What followed was a spring scene.
After everything calmed down, Wen Jiang's eyes wandered and he said, "My beloved, I am already married to a woman of my age. If I don't get married, I'm afraid there will be criticism."
When Qi Hou, who was holding the beauty in his arms tenderly, heard this, his expression changed.
The Marquis of Qi thought for a moment, and then said: "Today, a minister suggested that we should marry the Lu State. How about Wen Jiang marrying the Marquis of Lu?"
"Is this feasible? What if..." Wen Jiang hesitated.
"Don't worry, I will arrange everything, and even if you marry to the State of Lu, I can still invite the Marquis of Lu to visit me, and you and I can still see each other," said Marquis Qi.
"Then...okay!" Marquis Lu also had a high status, so marrying him was not aggrieved.
After deciding on the marriage, Qi and Lu quickly held a ceremony, and then Wen Jiang also married to Lu. Marquis Lu married a noble beauty and was very happy. He took Wen Jiang back to the State of Lu happily.
In the following years, neither Wen Jiang nor Marquis Lu came to Qi again. After the relationship between Qi and Lu improved, this made Wang Sheng frown a little. The plan to annex Wu State can only be postponed.
However, Wang Sheng did not give up. The Huaiguo government had a large number of caravans doing business in various countries, and even had transactions with some Yi Rongdi tribes. These caravans also sorted out the collected information and sent it to Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng soon found the opportunity.
After decades of development, the Di people in the north have gradually become stronger and stronger. Moreover, due to the changes in the northern environment over the years, some Di people tribes have migrated southward and have had friction with Qi State.
After seeing this situation, Wang Sheng's heart moved, and he immediately asked people to take out the information of the Beidi tribe. Beidi used to have a close relationship with the Yin Shang Dynasty. Later, King Wu conquered Zhou, the Yin Shang Dynasty collapsed, and then Wu Geng failed in his revenge, and a large number of Yin Shang Dynasties The remaining people fled to the north and integrated into Beidi, and the enfeoffment of Yan State was to deal with these Beidi.
After understanding Beidi's strength, Wang Sheng ordered the caravan going to Beidi to secretly sell food and weapons to the Beidi tribe. With the support of Huai State, Beidi had food and weapons. Naturally, it wanted to expand its land, and Qi State was the first to do so.
Sure enough, it did not exceed his expectations. Just two years later, Beidi began to invade Qi State from the south. Wang Sheng was very happy after receiving the news. He felt that Qi State was going to be in chaos for a while and was planning to take this opportunity to send troops to attack Wu State. At that time, Qi State invited Lu State and Zheng State to send troops together to deal with Beidi.
The three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Zheng were all big countries. Although Beidi was quite strong, it was defeated and retreated in the face of the attacks of the three kingdoms. Wang Sheng had no choice but to put down his plan to annex Wu again.
Just when Wang Sheng thought the plan had failed, things took a turn for the better.
Because of the great victory over Beidi, the Marquis of Qi invited the king of Lu and his wife to come after his victory. Marquis Lu went happily with his wife Wen Jiang.
Three years later, when Qi Hou saw Wen Jiang again, he found that Wen Jiang had become more beautiful and charming. After giving birth to a child, Wen Jiang had a different aura about him.
The Marquis of Qi suddenly felt itchy and unbearable, and then he deliberately got Marquis Lu drunk during the banquet, and then took Wen Jiang to relive his old dream. After Wen Jiang saw the Marquis of Qi, his old love also rekindled, and the two immediately ignored Lu Marquis. There was a cloud and rain directly in the palace.
The two indulged themselves in enjoyment and forgot about Lu Hou for a while. When Lu Hou woke up, he found that his wife was missing, so he got up and came to look for her.
At this time, there were still many people awake in the main hall, and Lu Yue, who was doing business with the Qi State officials, was also in the main hall. Although Lu Yue's surname was Lu, he had already been in the fifth server. He was no different from ordinary Qi people. He was young. At that time, the family was even more impoverished. If it had not been for the secret help from the Huai Kingdom caravan, they would have starved to death.
It was precisely because of the relationship with the Huai Kingdom's caravan that he became a businessman serving the Qi Kingdom's office. Although he serves the Qi State Office, he is actually a member of the Huai State Intelligence Network. This situation is more or less common in Qi State. This is also the foundation of the Huai State Intelligence Network's operation for two hundred years.
After seeing Qi Hou leaving with Wen Jiang, Lu Yue remembered some rumors from the past. When Lu Hou woke up, he immediately felt something in his heart and stepped forward to help Lu Hou, who was somewhat unsteady on his feet.
"What's the matter with Marquis Lu? Why don't you tell me to do it?"
"Who are you? Have you ever seen where the lonely lady has gone?" Marquis Lu asked drunkenly.
"Mrs. Lu Gong, I just saw my wife being dragged back to the inner hall by Qi Hou. I think she went to reminisce about old times..."
"Huh?" After hearing this, Marquis Lu's head, which was still a little groggy, suddenly sobered up a little.
Immediately he shook his body and walked towards the back hall. Entering the back hall, I soon heard a frolicsome sound, which sounded like that of his wife Wen Jiang.
Marquis Lu followed the sound and quickly came to the outside of a room, and at this time he could hear the sound inside clearly. Marquis Lu's face suddenly turned red, he was furious, and kicked the door open with all his strength.
There was a loud bang.
The two people who were playing and pretending on the bed looked over instantly. After seeing that it was Lu Hou, Qi Hou and Wen Jiang were so frightened that they separated quickly.
"How shameless! How dare Zhu Zi'an insult me like this!" Seeing everything in front of him, Marquis Lu was furious and was about to step forward and use force with the two of them.
The sound of breaking the door just now also alerted the guards. Seeing the guards coming, the Marquis of Qi quickly said, Marquis Lu is drunk, please send Marquis Lu back!
Young Master Peng Sheng saw this scene and quickly asked the guards to send Lu Hou away. Just when Peng Sheng was about to leave, Qi Hou suddenly stopped Peng Sheng and said, "Lu Hou already knows about this and can't stay any longer! "
Young Master Peng Sheng understood and immediately nodded and left.
