During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong favored Li Ji, which led to the chaos in Li Ji. Li Ji killed Prince Shen Sheng and plotted against the Golden Childe Zhong Er and Yiwu. Yi Wu and Zhong Er are helpless. One fled to Liang and the other to Di.

Di Jun had long heard that Zhong Er had a good reputation, and saw that he had brought a group of civilian military commanders, and he liked it very much. So he married Kui Ji, a beautiful woman whom he accused of being a prisoner, to Zhong Er, and betrothed his sister's uncle to Zhao Shuai, a follower of Zhong Er.

Zhong Er and his entourage, such as Zhao Shuai, Hu Mao, Hu Yan, Xu Chen, Qiu Wei, Jie Zitui and Xian Zhen. I have lived in Dizhou for more than ten years. At this time, I have given birth to two sons, one is Uncle and the other is Uncle Liu. KuiShu gave Zhao Shuai a fat man named Zhao Dun.

Just as they were having a good time in Di Guoan, one day, Hu Mao and Hu Yan suddenly received a letter from their father from the State of Jin. The letter said: "Duke Huai of Jin will send a monk to the local country to murder Zhong Er and ask them to flee to other countries to avoid disaster." After reading his father's letter, the Fox brothers dared not neglect it and immediately reported it to their son Zhong Er.

Zhong Er discussed it with everyone and asked, "Where are we going?" Hu Yan said: "At present, Qi is the strongest, and Qi Henggong is the overlord. He hopes to get the help of the sages. Let's go to Qi and go to him! " Everyone said, "Yes, let's go together!"

That night, Zhong Er said goodbye to his wife Kui Ji, and they loved each other deeply. Zhong Er said to Kui Ji, "Our country sent someone to assassinate me. I have no other choice but to take refuge in other countries first, and then try to unite Qin and Chu to restore and strengthen the country.

You should raise two sons wholeheartedly! "Kui Ji said," that's no problem, you can rest assured! " Zhong Er went on to say, "I left Di Guo. If I can't come to see you in 25 years, you don't have to wait. You can marry someone else. ! "

When Kui Ji heard this, he cried and said, "You are plotting to revive the country. How can I not understand the righteousness and be affectionate with my children? I am twenty-five years old this year, and in another twenty-five years, I will be a dying man; Even if she is not dead, she is a 50-year-old woman. If she marries someone, you can rest assured. I am waiting for you! "

The next day, the party did not bid farewell to the emperor, so they hurried to Qi. In Qi State, Qi Heng received Zhong Er with a guest gift, and he will marry Qi Jiang, the beauty of his family. Zhong Er wants to rely on Qi Huangong's prestige to realize his ambition of rejuvenating the country. Unexpectedly, Qi Henggong died in the second year. Due to the infighting of Qi, Zhong Er had to leave Qi.
