Yue Wang Gou Jian

The first astronomy test was about the knowledge of astronomy and geography from various schools of thought. Gou Jian had been reading extensively since he was a child, so it was difficult for him.

At dusk, when the list came out, the King of Yan saw that he was not on the list, so he punched and kicked his subordinates, swearing at each other, and finally had no choice but to pack up his luggage and go back to the country like more than 20 other princes and monarchs who failed the list. went.

For a while, the other courtyard in the western suburbs of Qi Palace became much deserted.

"Look, that rock looks like a turtle. Let's row the boat there."

Liansheng's thin and joyful voice echoed on the lake for a long time.

In the past few days, he has become very familiar with several young palace people in the western suburbs palace. Whenever he is free, he and his friends will not climb walls and climb trees, or go boating and fishing. They have a lot of fun.

"Let's sing."

While paddling, Liansheng suggested to a few friends on the boat.

"OK……"

The other friends nodded in agreement.

I only heard the dialect of Lianshengyue Kingdom singing:

"Flying a cypress boat, in the middle river..."

This piece of music is widely circulated in the Yue Kingdom, and almost every Yue person can sing a few words in the language of the Yue people, but the people of the Qi State have never been exposed to this song. He listened intently.

"The two hairs of the hair and the other are true to our appearance, and death will kill them."

"Mother is a god! Don't forgive people!"

"Flying the cypress boat, on the side of the river."

"You and the other are two fashions, Shi Weierte, and the arrows of death are all over the place."

"Mother is a god! Don't forgive people!"

……

"Liansheng, this song is really nice!"

"Teach us..."

"Yeah... teach us..."

Those palace people surrounded Lian Sheng and said.

Seeing that the songs he sang were welcomed by the palace people, Liansheng was very pleased, so he opened his voice and taught them to sing in Yue dialect.

For a moment, the loud singing and cheerful laughter of the teenagers echoed on the surface of the lake for a long time.

Standing on the stone arch bridge, Goujian looked at the young man who was playing in a boat on the lake, and there was a faint smile on his lips that even he couldn't detect.

"My lord, the groups for tomorrow's martial arts competition have come out."

Wen Zhong suddenly ran over in a hurry and said to Gou Jian.

After the literary examination, there are only ten princes and lords left, and these ten princes and lords will participate in tomorrow's martial arts test. They will face off in pairs, and the top five winners will enter the final competition.

"Oh……"

Gou Jian responded lightly.

"Tomorrow's battle with the king is... Wu Wang Fucha!"

"Oh……"

Gou Jian's voice was still faint, without any tone, but he was very anxious about the language.

"My lord, ever since King Helu of Wu died under the sword of his aunt, King Fucha of Wu has hated us to the core of Yue. If he were to marry the princess of Qi, he would be even more powerful. He might be the first to be destroyed... I'm afraid that we are going beyond the country..."

"Help...help...someone fell into the water..."

Suddenly there were crying and exclamation from above the rocks on the lake. Gou Jian followed the prestige, but he didn't see Lian Sheng's figure. Several Qi Palace members stood on the rocks, panicked and at a loss.

"Oops... Liansheng!"

Goujian's heart sank suddenly, and without thinking, he jumped into the lake and swam straight to the reef.

The surface of the lake looks calm, but below the surface of the lake is rough, and there are more aquatic plants entangled, making it difficult to move forward.Gou Jian lived in the deep palace for a long time, so he was not very familiar with water, only relying on the protection of the true energy of Wuxiang defying the world, he paddled away with difficulty.

"Help... help..."

I saw Liansheng's little head bobbing up and down in the water, and his shouting seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.

Goujian dipped his hands into the bottom of the water, supported Liansheng, and sent him to the reef with all his strength, and the palace servants rushed forward to pull Liansheng ashore.When he looked back, Gou Jian was nowhere to be seen.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

When Liansheng was brought ashore, he was already in shock, but when he saw the king of Yue being swallowed by the current in order to save himself, he was even more frightened. He wanted to jump into the water and Goujian, but was held back by several other courtiers.

"It's not good, King Yue fell into the water..."

Those palace people were at a loss, so they could only cry in unison.

Just now when Gou Jian lifted Lian Sheng ashore, he had exhausted all his strength.He felt his body begin to sink, but he was powerless to stop it.He opened his eyes, but couldn't see anything clearly. He breathed desperately, but all he breathed in was water, and the feeling in his throat seemed to be tightly strangled...

The surroundings were eerily quiet, as if he was the only one left in the world, and an unprecedented fear spread from his heart.

"Really... is this the end?"

Gou Jian only felt that his consciousness was stripped away from his mind bit by bit. Soon, he would forget about this world, and he would also be forgotten by this world.

It seemed that Fu Chai's figure was shaking vaguely in front of his eyes, but it was blurry.

"What night is it tonight, the boat is in the middle of the boat..."

"What day is it today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince..."

"Being ashamed is good, don't be ashamed..."

"I'm so annoyed, I've learned that the prince..."

"Mountains have trees and trees have branches..."

"My heart pleases you, you don't know..."

……

You don't know if you are happy with your heart, heh, Fucha, why did you lie to me, why?

The revenge of killing one's father is irreconcilable. From now on, we are enemies and not friends...

Fucha's resolute words and indifferent eyes were like sharp swords, piercing Goujian's heart with scars.

Gou Jian suddenly felt that it would be good to die like this.

If there is a next life, I hope he is not the king of Yue, and he is not the king of Wu.

Just when Goujian's consciousness was completely lost, two soft lips covered his mouth, and a long-awaited fresh air poured into Goujian's mouth. Goujian seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and the dexterous tip of his tongue penetrated into his mouth. In the opponent's mouth, lingering in every corner between the opponent's lips and teeth, sucking greedily.

"The oyster..."

Hearing a faint call like a whisper, Gou Jian felt that the hands holding him were getting tighter...

……

"Your Majesty, are you awake?"

Wen Zhong could only hear the words, with uncontrollable excitement in his voice.

Gou Jian opened his eyes in a daze, only to see Wen Zhong looking at him worriedly.

"Your Majesty, you have finally woken up. Lord Wen Zhong said that if anything happens to you today, I will lose my head."

Lian Sheng, who had been standing behind Wen Zhong with his head down, sobbing softly, saw Gou Jian wake up and rushed to meet him, looked at Gou Jian through tears and smiled, he seemed to be quite frightened today, his little face was pale green.

"Thanks to King Wu's rescue today, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

I am afraid of saying after the language.Seeing that Goujian fell into the water, and he had no water skills, he hurried to call for rescuers, but when he and the rescuers arrived, he saw Fucha jumping out of the water holding Goujian in his arms.

"King Wu, Fucha?"

Gou Jian muttered these words, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hey, what about His Highness King Wu, why did he suddenly disappear?"

Liansheng suddenly looked around and said.

"King Wu has been here?"

Hearing what Lian Sheng said, Gou Jian's eyes lit up, and he looked at Wen Zhong in disbelief.

Wen Zhong nodded affirmatively and said,

"Ever since the King of Wu rescued you from the water, the king has been staying here. He must have just left quietly after he found out that the king had woken up. No wonder, after all, his father..."

Before Wen Zhong finished speaking, Gou Jian sat up from the bed, put on his shoes hastily, and ran straight to the door.

……

"Fucha..."

Hearing a cry from behind, Fu Chai suddenly stopped in his tracks, clenched his fists, a trace of painful entanglement flashed in his deep eyes, but finally gave up, turned around, looked at Gou Jian indifferently, and said,

"Why did the King of Yue call the widow?"

"You care about me, don't you?"

Goujian took a few steps forward, stopped a foot away from her husband, looked at him and said,

"Why Kong has a good skin, why is there no ability to govern the country, what you said at the time was just to persuade Wu to retreat. I am so stupid, I actually believed it, and blamed you for so long, Fucha, I was wrong, forgive me..."

With the moonlight in the sky, Fu Chai seemed to see two flashes of crystal in Gou Jian's eyes.Gou Jian tonight seems to be very different from the past. He used to be lonely and cold, like the bright moon hanging above his head, high above and out of reach.But tonight, he begged for his forgiveness with the most humble attitude. Fu Chai wanted to hold him in his arms and caress him several times, but he couldn't. How could he forgive his father-killing enemy? .

Standing face to face with him like this, although there is only a distance of ten feet away, they are alienated and indifferent, as if they are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.

Originally, I wanted to say some cruel words to change my thoughts about this person, but seeing that the person in front of me was as beautiful and fragile as a porcelain doll, I couldn't be cruel anymore.

After a long time, Fu Chai spit out a sentence:

"Liansheng is just a servant boy, why would you even take your own life to save him?"

"Are you eating Liansheng's vinegar?"

Gou Jian suddenly asked back, although his face was joking, but his eyes looking at Fu Chai were looking forward to it very seriously.

Fu Chai didn't speak. Although Liansheng was just a child, when he saw that Gou Jian was desperate to save him, anger welled up in his heart.So he clearly saw Gou Jian jumping into the water, and knew that Gou Jian was not familiar with water, but he resisted the idea of ​​diving to save people, and he didn't start to be afraid until he found that Gou Jian had sunk to the bottom because of the collapse of saving people.

"Actually, Liansheng is the younger brother of Xiaoyue's mother."

Suddenly I heard Gou Jian say,

Speaking of Xiaoyue, the two of them's thoughts drifted back to the days on Wujiu Island at the same time, and they couldn't help but feel that times have changed and things are different.

"Xiaoyue's biggest wish in this life is to take good care of her younger brother Liansheng. Xiaoyue died for me. I need to help Xiaoyue take care of Liansheng. But Xiaoyue didn't know that her stepmother died soon after she was sold into the palace. He sold his younger brother Liansheng to a large family in Ancheng as a slave, and later I asked people to do a lot of searching, and only then did I find out the whereabouts of Liansheng and bring him into the palace."

"But even so, you don't need to sacrifice your life for him."

Fucha said with displeasure on his face.

But the more Fu Chai reacted like this, the happier Gou Jian felt. At least he was jealous and he cared about him.

"When I saw Liansheng for the first time, I saw that he was covered in bruises. He must have been tortured by the master a lot, but those big clear eyes looked at the paper kite in the hand of the palace lady, but they were full of energy and playfulness. I see, So he was allowed to release the paper kite with the maids, Liansheng cheered, thanked me immediately, and ran to play with the maids..."

As Gou Jian spoke, he seemed to be caught in a good memory, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips unconsciously,

"The lotus comes out of the mud without being stained. Although I have encountered those ups and downs since I was a child, the world of Liansheng seems to be beautiful. This is the happiness that I have tried my best in this life, but I have never been able to get it. My life is over, but Liansheng that A pure and flawless smile, I must guard it to the end."

When Fu Chai listened, he felt a sense of desolation and loneliness. He couldn't help but move slightly, and almost wanted to rush forward recklessly, hugging the King of Yue tightly in his arms, and said to him, from now on, your smile, I will never forget you. to guard.

However, after a moment of silence, Fu Chai only opened his mouth and said,

"Tomorrow there will be a martial arts competition, King Yue should rest early."

Neither Fu Chai nor Gou Jian noticed, but not far away, two pairs of eyes were staring at them.

"It seems that the king of Wu and the king of Yue are about to change from enemies to lovers. This seems to be quite unfavorable to our state of Chu."

Yin Zibai, Minister of the State of Chu, crossed his arms and leaned against the trunk of the willow tree, and said with a meaningful look at the king of Chu, Xiong Zhen, beside him.

"Then let's make them unable to be lovers."

The King of Chu looked at the Second King of Wu and Yue standing not far ahead, a sly light flashed in his slender eyes.
