I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 552

Afterwards, Zilu resigned from Confucius.

He didn't dare to delay, so he got into the carriage that day, and after several days, he finally arrived in Feiyi.

As for Zilu's journey to Feiyi, Gongshan Buxuan and Shusun Zhe had already known about it.

Before Zilu entered the city, the two of them began to discuss countermeasures there.

Uncle Sun Zhe snorted coldly:
"Lord Gongshan, I heard that this Zhongzilu is quite brave, so I'm afraid the person who came here this time is not a good person!"

Gong Shan is disdainful but disdainfully said:
"Probably not? What's the point of mere mediocrity? Even if he is extremely powerful, how could he still be able to defeat the people in this city?!"

Uncle Sun Zhe was still quite worried and replied:
"It's better to be careful, my lord!"

Gong Shan couldn't help but stand up after hearing the words, put his hands behind his back:
"Then...then order people to set up a cooking cauldron outside the hall, and prepare knives and axes on the left and right sides. When this son arrives, he will be killed directly and thrown into the oil pan to avoid troubles in vain!"

Uncle Sun Zhe heard that Gongshan was so reckless, but he couldn't help smiling:
"Hehe, if that's the case... I'm afraid Fei Yi will be in danger!"

Gong Shan didn't listen, but asked:

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Uncle Sun Zhe shook his head slightly, and cupped his hands and said:
"Since this son came to Feiyi, he must have the intention of mortal death! And he is now the head of the Ji family. If he is killed directly, it will be like conspiracy! At that time, the Lu State will use this as an excuse to raise troops to ask for it. What do you think?"

Gong Shan didn't want to hear the words, but said with disdain:
"Hmph! What I have to do in Gongshan, but there is nothing I can't do? Think about the marquis in Liyi, who is only a mere Ma Zheng, and can occupy Liyi to fight against the entire Lu state. But now my city wall in Feiyi is not inferior to that of Liyi, and the armor is several times that of Liyi. And I am not in Gongshan, and I am the magistrate of Feiyi. How can I be afraid of them?!"

When the uncle and grandson heard the words, he smiled slightly:
"Hehe, the people of Lu now regard me as a traitor and wish that I would die right away, but I still stayed in the country of Lu and never ran away. Speaking of which, I am really alone, so there is nothing to be afraid of! However, Lord Gongshan is the magistrate of Feiyi of the Ji family. His status is different, and he is so fearless. Your lord is indeed a strange person!"

Gongshan didn't hear the rumors, so he couldn't help but shoot up the case!

It's just that his anger was not because his uncle and grandson said these words satirizing him there, but because he was indignant at what happened to him there.

He just yelled again, and said angrily:

"I, Gongshan, don't care. It would have been good to guard Feiyi for Ji's family. Now Ji Sunsi has listened to someone's slander, and suddenly wants to fall into the city wall of Feiyi! Hmph! You really deceived me too much!"

"Thinking about Zhong Zilu, he must have come here this time to fall for me, Fei Yi! If that's the case, why should he be polite to him?"

"Ah... that's right! This person is the Ji clan's butcher now, so he must have said all the bad things about Fei Yi in front of Ji Sunsi! Hmph! If a flatterer like him is killed, he will be killed. If the Ji clan really dares to stand up for him, then don't blame me, Gongshan, for being rude!"

When the uncle and grandson heard the words, he couldn't help being secretly happy in his heart, and continued to say:
"Hehe, what Master Gongshan said is very true! This time the monarch's decree to destroy Feiyi is very strange in itself!"

Seeing that Gongshan is not good enough, Uncle Sunzhe has gradually revealed his rebellion, and he is overjoyed in his heart.You must know that for him, only the more chaotic the state of Lu is, then he can have more opportunities!
So, the two agreed on this.

According to what was said before, Gongshan Buxuan had more than a dozen knives and axes ambushed around the council hall, and even set up a frying pan in front of the mansion gate, waiting for Zi Lushi to come and die.

Zilu entered Feiyi, and when he arrived at Feiyi's mansion, he found that all the guards were glaring at him.

There is an oil cauldron in front of the conference hall, which is steaming hotly.Looking at the left and right sides of the curtain, there is even a faint golden light shining.

Seeing this situation, Zilu also understood.However, he still kept his composure and swaggered into the lobby.

At this time, Gongshan Buxuan and Shusun Zhe were waiting for him in the hall.

Zilu walked forward all the way, and when he reached the hall, he bowed his hands first, and then said calmly:
"I'm Zhong You, Zhong Zilu, the governor of the Ji family. By the order of my lord, I came to Feiyi to visit the governor of the city!"

Gong Shan didn't see him being so polite, but he just smiled and said:

"Hehe, Master Zhong has worked so hard to come all the way! Can you see the oil cauldron outside the mansion when you come?"

When Zilu heard this, he snorted contemptuously, and responded:
"Hmph! If Lord Gongshan wants to cook me, why bother talking about it here? It's a pity... If Lord Gongshan cooks me, I'm afraid he will die soon!"

After Gong Shan didn't listen, he couldn't help shouting again:

"Bold! Who do you think you are? You can come here alone, and you can make me Fei Yi fall into the city wall? You are too underestimating me!"

When Zilu heard this, he burst out laughing and said:

"Hahaha... If Mr. Yizai really thinks so, then Feiyi of my Ji Clan is really in danger!"

Then, Zilu let out another long sigh:
"Hey! It's worth it! Master Yizai is so indiscriminate between enemies and us, and I am wronged, I am afraid that my Ji family will have no hope! If this is the case, there is no need to wait for someone to cook me, I will do it myself!"

After Zilu finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked straight to the oil cauldron outside the door.

When Gongshan Buxuan heard this, he and his uncle Sun Zhe looked at each other, not knowing whether it was true or not, so he could only shout:
"Stop him!"

Hearing Gongshan Buxuan's order, the knives and axes hidden on the left and right rushed out.

However, it was not to take Zilu's life, but to stop him directly.

Seeing this, Zilu couldn't help but twitched his mouth slightly, turned his head halfway, and said:
"Hmph! My lord, why bother? Your lord doesn't care about the life and death of the lord and the Ji family, yet why do you want to stop me?"

Gongshan Buxuan is the magistrate of Feiyi, and Zilu is now the magistrate of the Ji family. In fact, in terms of status, one inside and one outside, the two are almost equal.

So it's okay to call each other "adults".

Gong Shan Buxuan waved his hand again, ordering all the knives and axes to retreat, and then said again:
"Master Zhong said just now that the lord is in trouble, and the Ji clan is about to fall, but I don't know... what does it mean?"

After hearing this, Zilu turned around completely, pretending that he was about to talk to him, but his eyes suddenly stayed on the side of his uncle and grandson.

"Master Gongshan, this matter...is my Ji family's business after all, and now there are other people present, I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

But Gongshan Buxuan certainly wouldn't listen to Zilu at this time, he just waved his hand and said in veto:
"Although Uncle Sun is not a member of the Ji clan, he is not considered an outsider now. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Zilu knew that the two of them were of the same breed, and it was not the time to separate the two of them, so he handed each other over, and then said:

"Master Yizai is far away in Feiyi, and I'm afraid you don't know the inside story of some things! In fact... the lord was originally unwilling to agree to the falling into the three capitals this time. Now the reason why you have repeatedly ordered Lord Yizai to fall to the city wall is really a last resort!"

Gong Shan couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words.Then he ordered Zilu to be seated, and ordered his servants to bring teacups and fruit bowls.

At this time, Uncle Sun Zhe quickly winked at Gongshan Buxuan, but Gongshan Buxuan just pretended not to see it.

Just listening to Gongshan Buxuan, he opened his mouth and said:

"My lord doesn't want to fall into Feiyi, so why did you mention this in front of the king?"

Hearing his question, Zilu sighed and said:
"Hey...my lord is now being forced by my uncle's family, and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are all aware of the chaos in Liyi, and most of them agree with it. Therefore, my lord, there is nothing he can do about it!"

After hearing what Zilu said, Gongshan couldn't help asking:
"Oh? So, does the lord have no intention of falling into Feiyi?"

"Then... You didn't come here this time to persuade me to fall from the city wall of Feiyi?"

Hearing this, Zilu hurriedly cupped his hands, shook his head and said:

"Of course not! Zhong You came here this time precisely for the safety of the Ji family! The Ji family has experienced the disaster of the sun and the tiger, and should have been able to do everything possible and hide their strengths. But now there is a sudden change, and Feiyi is about to be destroyed. After all, Feiyi is the main town of my Ji family, how can I fall so easily?"

While listening to Uncle Sun, he felt something was wrong:
"Isn't that right? Although you are the master of the Ji family, you are also the disciple of Kong Zhongni! Kong Zhongni has always advocated the public office, and he has a grudge against the Ji family. Would he not want to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress the Ji family? Don't you respect your teacher's order to earn my fee?"

"Zhong Zilu! Do you want to be the second Si Chi?
