Yue Wang Gou Jian

At the beginning of the Huadeng, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

It was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the palace in the western suburbs of Jin was brightly lit, echoing the bright moon in the sky.

Gou Jian, the king of Yue, stood under a willow tree by the lake with his hands behind his back, looking at the reflection of the moon on the lake, thoughtfully.

Rescuing each other in the lake, blocking arrows in the arena, although it was only two days, Fu Chai did it several times, risking his life to save himself.If it is said that this time is another bitter plan by Fu Chai, but what is the intention of this time.

If he gave up the contest for the Princess of Jin in order to win his own trust, it would not be worth the loss for Wu.But judging from Fucha's performance in the arena today, he has no intention of participating in the contest for the princess of Jin.

Maybe, maybe Fu Chai is kind of sincere towards him.But……

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

The decisive words Fu Chai said the day before suddenly echoed in his ears, his body trembled suddenly, and his heart turned cold.

Fucha, what should I do with you, and how will you treat me.

Looking at the moon swaying gently on the lake, Gou Jian sighed deeply and clenched his fists involuntarily.

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

He could only hear Lian Sheng's shrill voice coming from a distance, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lian standing in front of him panting.

"Why are you running in such a hurry, go back to the house and wash up."

Seeing Lian Sheng running profusely with sweat and his face flushed, Gou Jian couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and said to him.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the younger one has completed the task. At midnight tonight, in the Bibo Pavilion, King Wu will definitely show up on time."

As Liansheng said, he covered his face with one hand, and at the same time peeked at King Yue with a sneaky smile.

"It seems that the widow has spoiled you, and you are so lawless..."

Shy and embarrassing, King Yue raised his hand and slapped Liansheng lightly.Butt, Liansheng yelled, and ran away without a trace.

Seeing Liansheng disappear, the smile on King Yue's face faded quietly, and Qingjun's brows were full of thoughts.

……

"Uncle, there is something unclear in Suzhi's heart, and I want to ask uncle."

"Your Majesty is thinking about Fu Chai, the King of Wu."

"I... I don't know if there is still a chance to restore the old friendship with Wu Guo."

Gou Jian said, but his cheeks were slightly red.

Although Gou Jian spoke euphemistically, how could he fail to see his thoughts when following his language all the way.Their King of Yue had never forgotten his love for Fu Chai, the King of Wu. It was only because he was unwilling to be deceived by Fu Chai in the past, and Ling Gufu killed the former King of Wu, Helu, which deepened the gap between the two. .In the past two days, Fu Chai, the king of Wu, sacrificed his life to save the king of Yue several times, and he obviously has an unforgettable love for the king of Yue.

If King Gou Jian of Yue and King Fu Chai of Wu could ignore the past and restore the old good, it would be a good thing for the Yue Kingdom, so he cleared his throat and said to Gou Jian:

"Since your majesty wants to make peace with the state of Wu, why don't you ask the king of Wu to come out and have a good talk?"

"I'm afraid... King Wu won't come at all."

Gou Jian hesitated.

"Your Majesty, feel free to give it a try. If King Wu is willing to come, it means that he is willing to let go of his past grudges and return to Yue Kingdom. If he doesn't come..."

Wen Zhong paused, glanced at Gou Jian and continued,

"It means that the king of Wu still can't let go of the hatred of killing his father, so please be prepared, the king, to fight against the country of Wu at any time."

……

A gust of wind blew by, and the reflection of the moon on the lake suddenly shook and became blurred.Just like at this moment, King Goujian of Yue couldn't see clearly the fate of himself and the country of Yue.

He has always planned carefully and meticulously in his work, and the beginning, process, and ending are all under control.This is the first time he entrusts the fate of himself and the country of Yue to others, letting others make the decision.

Fucha, will you come at midnight tonight?

Gou Jian raised his head and looked at the sky. The cold moon seemed to have never changed.

Suddenly he heard rustling in the forest by the lake, Goujian turned his head and saw a person hanging from a tree through the gaps between the branches and leaves, his hands and legs were flapping in the air.

Without thinking, Goujian picked up a stone on the ground, mobilized his inner strength, and shot towards the forest.

The rope was cut by the stone, and the man's body fell heavily to the ground.

"Why did you save me?"

The man raised his fist and slammed it on the ground, looked up at Gou Jian, the king of Yue who was approaching him, his eyes were already blurred with tears.

Although the man's hair was disheveled and his clothes were disheveled, Goujian still recognized him.The day before yesterday, at the reception banquet, this person was standing next to Ji Boyang, the monarch of the state of Cao. Judging by his attire, he did not look like an ordinary attendant, and his demeanor that day seemed very unhappy, so Gou Jian paid more attention to it. Eye.

"Where is Ji Boyang, Lord Cao, if you are really dead, how can he know your intentions?"

Goujian stood a few feet away from that person, looked at him and said in a low voice.

"You... how would you know..."

The man suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Goujian in surprise.

His thoughts on Ji Boyang, the monarch of the Cao Kingdom, were only deeply buried in his heart, and no one else ever knew about them.However, the Yue king in front of him could clearly see the thoughts that had been hidden deep in his heart for many years and were difficult to reveal to others, just based on a few glances at the banquet that day and his actions today.

The man opened his mouth slightly, staring at King Yue in astonishment, even forgetting the pain of being trapped by love.

"Your Excellency has a deep love for Cao Guojun, and it will naturally be revealed in words and deeds."

Gou Jian said, his voice was still faint.

"Ah……"

The man suddenly parted the corners of his lips, revealing a sad smile, but tears welled up from his eyes.

"I didn't expect that even a person who only met a few times could see my thoughts. I have been with him for more than ten years, but he didn't notice it at all."

The man's words made Gou Jian more sure of his guess.

"Another infatuated man trapped by love."

Gou Jian sighed softly, thinking of the current situation between himself and Fu Chai, he couldn't help feeling compassion for that man, so he took a few steps forward, bent down, and stretched out his hand towards the man,

"If you don't tell me about some things, how can others know. Since you have the courage to choose death, why don't you have the courage to choose to confess everything to him."

The Yue Dynasty in front of him leaned over and stretched out his hand, the silk-like blue silk cascaded down his shoulders, and a faint scent of sandalwood floated in. He looked at himself, his eyes were quiet and serene, like elegant and clean lotus flowers , The man didn't know why he reached out his hand to the King of Yue like a ghost, and let him help him up.

"Even if it's useless to say it, Cao Guoguo is small and weak, and Song Guoguo is eyeing him like a tiger. This time, only by choosing to marry Jin Guo, Cao Guo will have a chance to breathe. I... I can't harm Duke Cao just because of my own selfishness." , harmed Cao Guo..."

"Ajiang..."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice behind him. The man's face changed suddenly, and he wanted to run away, but unexpectedly his waist tightened, and his whole body was tightly bound by someone.

"Ajiang, after so many years, I finally heard your truth. I thought you just regarded me as a good brother. So you treat me..."

Ji Boyang, the monarch of Cao State, hugged the person in his arms tightly, and was already a little incoherent with excitement.

"A Jiang, I'm so happy to hear your truth. Really, I won't marry the princess of Jin. A Jiang, I want to marry you..."

Seeing the monarch Ji Boyang and Gongsun Jiang kissing me, Gou Jian was too embarrassed to disturb him. He turned around and walked back a few steps, but he heard Gongsun Jiang's voice behind him saying:

"His Royal Highness, thank you."

King Yue didn't look back, but waved his hand back, signaling that he's welcome.

"His Royal Highness, you saved A Jiang today, and Ji is not very grateful. If you can use Cao Guo in the future, just follow orders."

Ji Boyang, the monarch of the state of Cao, shouted loudly towards the back of Goujian, the king of Yue, who was drifting away.

……

"See Your Majesty..."

Fu Chai was drinking tea in the room, but he saw Wu Zixu suddenly walked in from the door, and knelt down at him with a "plop"...

"Wu Xiang has worked hard and accomplished a lot, so why do you need to perform such a great gift when you see a widow, stand up and speak..."

Although Fu Chai was polite to Wu Zixu, his indifferent expression showed a trace of disgust that could not be concealed.

……

"Baby, is your father here?"

……

Fu Chai will never forget, before the sick bed, his pale mother looked at the gate eagerly, wishing to see King Helu of Wu for the last time.

She should have swallowed her last breath to end the endless torment of illness, but in order to see her husband, she endured the pain and held on.

The suddenly sent guards hurried in from the door, and Empress Wu's originally slack eyes regained their light.

"Where is the king?"

Fu Chai asked the attendant.

"His Royal Highness, Wu Xiang came back from the battlefield, he was seriously injured, and his life was dying. His Majesty sent a message that he will stay overnight in the Xiangfu tonight and will not return to the palace."

As soon as the attendant finished speaking, Fu Chai saw a line of tears slipping from Empress Wu's eyes. Empress Wu turned her head and stared blankly at the top of the green gauze tent above her head. She slowly closed her eyes and never opened them again. .

"Wu Zixu, I hate you. If it weren't for you, the queen mother wouldn't have died without seeing her father and king, and died of hatred."

The young Fu Chai looked out the door with hatred in his eyes, and clenched his fists tightly. For the first time, a raging flame ignited in his heart.

……

Although Fu Chai knew in his heart that Wu Zixu did his best for the state of Wu and worked hard without complaint. He was a rare national teacher and virtuous prime minister.But every time he sees him, Fu Chai always thinks of his mother and concubine who died with hatred, so he doesn't have a good face towards Wu Zixu.

As for Fu Chai's attitude, how can someone as smart as Wu Zixu not be able to see it, but since he has a negative relationship with He Lu in this life, he only wishes to use the rest of his life to protect his world for He Lu.

"Your Majesty, why did you intentionally lose to King Yue in today's arena competition?"

Wu Zixu looked up at Fucha, his eyes were burning and firm.

"Wu Xiang's words are wrong. It's because I'm not good at learning, so I lost the competition!"

Husband said badly.

"Forget it. Your Majesty has no intention of marrying the princess of the Jin Kingdom, and the veterans have no right to interfere. It's just that Yue Wang Goujian is definitely not a junior, and even the first Yue Wang Yunchang is incomparable. Your Majesty is planning to go to Yue as early as possible."

Wu Zixu said.

"President Wu is worrying too much. King Goujian of Yue is not King Yunchang of Yue, and the widow is definitely not King Helu of the previous Yue."

When Fu Chai mentioned Wu Wang He Lu, he thought of the old things for a while, and his disgust for Wu Zixu increased a little in his heart.

Rescuing each other in the lake, blocking arrows in the arena, Wu Zixu faintly felt that his Wang Fucha's affection for Goujian was not as simple as he imagined.

The longer Yue stays, the more dangerous Wu will be.Although he knew that honest advice was harsh, Wu Zixu had no choice but to risk his life to remonstrate.

"Although Gou Jian is a young man, his methods are far worse than Yun Chang's. If you don't get rid of him as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles. Moreover, the former king lost his hand. The king didn't think about how to avenge his father, but repeatedly This time I saved the King of Yue at a critical moment. Dare I ask how the King wants to deal with the King of Yue?"

"I have my own decision on this matter, so I don't need to worry about it."

The hatred of killing his father is unshakable, but seeing that Gou Jian is in danger, he couldn't help but help him.Whether to kill or stay with Goujian, whether to fight or surrender to the Yue Kingdom, Fu Chai was already upset by this matter, but Wu Zixu didn't know what is good and what is bad, so he made a problem for himself at this time, which is like adding fuel to the fire .Fucha's tone was extremely cold.

Wu Zixu is not a person who doesn't know how to read words and expressions. Seeing that their king could not be persuaded by words, he had no choice but to give up. He took out a note from his skirt and said to King Wu:

"Since Your Majesty has his own ideas, the old minister doesn't need to say much. When the night is ugly, King Goujian of Yue will meet you in the Bibo Pavilion. Whether you want to go or not, please think twice."

Fu Chai took the note and saw that it was indeed Gou Jian's notes, but he was thinking about Gou Jian's late-night invitation, and he didn't know what to talk to him about. If he wanted peace with all his heart, could he really forget the bloody feud that killed his father?

He raised his eyes inadvertently, but saw that Wu Zixu was still in the same place, thinking that it was not easy for him to work hard for the country of Wu, so he slowed down his tone for a while and said:

"It's getting late, Wu Xiang rests in his room first, and we'll go back tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wu Zixu made a courtier's salute to his husband's messenger, and retreated slowly.

……

In the courtyard, Wu Zixu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon in the sky gradually moving eastward in the thin clouds.

"The child's hour is coming soon."

Suddenly, Wu Zixu took out a note from his bosom, and under the hazy moonlight, it was faintly visible that it read:

At midnight tonight, in the Bibo Pavilion, I hope you will see me.Take it!

……

"The king of Yue wants to see the king of Wu, is Wu Xiang going to report or not?"

Wu Zixu had just received a note from Liansheng, the attendant of the King of Yue, from his attendant, when he saw Xiong Zhen, the King of Chu, appear in front of him at some time.

Xiong Zhen, King of Chu, had red lips, white teeth, and a face like a crown of jade. He was looking at Wu Zixu slyly at this moment, with the corners of his lips twitching, a smile that was not a smile.

"As a subject, you must be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and you must not deceive or conceal your monarch. This is the only family motto that my father Wu She taught me since I was a child, and I should abide by it."

King Chu Ping's Wu family colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country and slaughtered all of Wu's family. Although Wu Zixu later attacked Yingdu and flogged King Chu Ping's body three hundred times, it was still difficult to relieve his hatred.He also doesn't have the slightest affection for Chu Zhao Wang Xiong Zhen.

"Wu Shewu Taifu is loyal and patriotic, but he was harmed by the villain Fei Wuji. The former king listened to the slander and destroyed the Wu family. It was our Xiong clan's fault. Wu was quite young and relieved, right..."

"The king of Chu didn't come here just to talk about his merits and demerits."

Wu Zixu interrupted Xiong Zhen, king of Chu.

"This king knows what Wu Xiang is worried about, so he came here to help Wu Xiang."

Xiong Zhen, King of Chu, cast a sly look at Wu Zixu and said.

"I have nothing to worry about. The King of Chu has taken care of it. If the King of Chu has nothing else to do, please go back."

Wu Zixu issued an order to chase away the guests.

Chu Wang Xiong Zhen was not in a hurry, he had no intention of leaving, and said slowly,

"The king of Yue suddenly wanted to, presumably he wanted to discuss the reconciliation with the state of Wu in detail, rescued each other in the lake, blocked the arrow in the arena, and Wu Xiang, the king of Wu, must have noticed how Fu Chai treated the king of Yue. Although the king of Wu was smart and brave, but But it is too much love for children, if Wu Yue repairs well, it will be very detrimental to Wu Guo."

Seeing Wu Zixu's silence, King Xiong Zhen of Chu knew that his words were in his arms, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and continued,

"Wu Xiangruo gave the note to the king of Wu. With the heart of the king of Wu, he will go back to the appointment in all likelihood. The gentle township, the tomb of heroes. If the king of Wu is a world-class hero, how can he be against a drop of tears shed on the face of the king of Yue? ?”

"The king of Wu wants to see the king of Yue, how can he stop it without handing over a note?"

Wu Zixu felt that what the king of Chu said was reasonable, so he couldn't help feeling emotional.

"No, the note must be delivered, but Wu Xiang must use his hands and feet to change the 'Zi Shi' on this note to 'Chou Shi', and leave other matters to this king. This king promises that after tonight, King Wu Fu Chai will hate King Goujian of Yue to the bone, and King Goujian of Yue will also be disheartened by King Fu Chai of Wu."

……

"Zi Shi is coming soon..."

Late at night, listening to the dean, Wu Zixu murmured while crushing the note in his hand into powder.

He raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky, with determination in his eyes:

"He Lu, your world, Wu Zixu will definitely protect it to the end in this life."
