Yue Wang Gou Jian

Chapter 48 Slaves

Just as Wu Zixu expected, King Wu's husband mistakenly thought that after Gou Jian poisoned him to kill himself, he flew into a rage, and seemed to want to cut Gou Jian into pieces to relieve his anger.

Looking at the general trend of the world, there will only be one of Wu and Yue in the end.

Wu Zixu saw this point more clearly than anyone else.

If you don't take advantage of the defeat of the Yue army to pursue the victory and completely wipe out the Yue State, it will definitely become a serious problem for the Wu State in the future.

The king of Yue put down the dignity of the son of heaven, ignored the ridicule of the people in the world, and openly admitted that he used his body to please the king of Wu, in order to force the king of Wu to withdraw his army to save the country of Yue.

The King of Yue is capable of bending and stretching, forbearance and firmness. Others don't understand this kind of mind, but how can he be as smart as Wu Zixu?

Wu Zixu looked at Goujian, his eyes gradually narrowed...

The king of Yue is a thoughtful and omnipotent man, if he is not eliminated, he will definitely become a great enemy of the state of Wu.

"Your Majesty only agreed to retreat, but did not promise to save the life of the King of Yue. The King of Yue killed the former king He Lu first, and repeatedly tried to kill the King. You must not be merciful to him. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Wu Zixu was afraid that King Wu's husband would be soft-hearted, so he reminded King Wu intentionally. Sure enough, King Wu's face changed slightly, and his face became colder when he looked at King Yue.

"The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable..."

Fu Chai stared at Gou Jian with eyes as deep as a falcon, and his face was as cold as an eternal glacier.

"If the King of Wu keeps his promise and retreats, what's the problem if the widow dies?"

After Goujian finished speaking, he stood up tremblingly from the ground, and pulled out a dagger from his waist with a "huo", drawing a dazzling light in the sun.

"Kings……"

Fan Li was startled suddenly, and wanted to step forward to stop him, but suddenly he heard a handsome voice approaching from a distance,

"The person who killed King Helu of Wu is my subordinate, and has nothing to do with King Yue."

But Ling Gufu was dressed in a military uniform, brandishing a gun in his hand, breaking through the encirclement of the Wu army, and galloping towards him on horseback.

"Ling... Gu... Fu..."

Seeing Aunt Ling appear, Wu Zixu's eyes suddenly turned cold.If he hadn't used his sword to quench the poison back then, how could King Helu of Wu have died suddenly.Even if this person whips eight hundred corpses, it is still difficult to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Wu Zixu wanted to order the archers to shoot Ling Gufu, but was stopped by Wu Wang Fuchai.

"My lord, how are you doing?"

Ling Gufu dismounted from the horse and walked to Gou Jian's side, seeing his slender body crumbling, pale face, feeling a little sad in her heart, wishing to hold him in her arms, comforting him carefully, but there was a difference between monarchs and ministers and identities, Ling Gufu had no choice but to stand where she was, He looked at Gou Jian motionlessly.

Seeing Ling Gufu's sudden appearance, Gou Jian's heart tightened suddenly, but he didn't know what happened to the Yue Kingdom, so he asked him eagerly,

"General Gufu, why did you come here? Could it be that something happened to Kuaiji Mountain?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Kuaiji Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The minister has made a comprehensive deployment. In the short term, there should be no hindrance."

Ling Gufu said, then turned to look at Wu Wangfu and said,

"King Wu, the poisonous killing of King Helu of Wu back then was done on his own will, not at the behest of the King of Yue. If the King of Wu wants revenge, I am willing to pay for it with my life. Please don't anger the King of Yue."

"No, General Gufu assassinated King Helu of Wu in the past for the sake of Yue and the widow. If it is said that the culprit is me, it should be me."

"Wu Wang Helu died under the sword of a humble official. Everyone in the world knows about this. Your Majesty, don't act on your will."

"What a touching pair of monarchs and ministers. Today, I have fulfilled your thoughts. As long as one of you two pays my father's life, I will no longer pursue Yue's revenge for killing my father."

Fucha's voice was extremely cold, he drew out his sword and threw it at Goujian and Linggufu.

Gou Jian took a step ahead, leaned over, picked up the sword, put it across his neck and shoulders, glanced at Ling Gufu and Fan Li and said,

"The State of Yue entrusts the two generals."

At the critical moment, there was only a bang, and the long sword in Goujian's hand fell in response to the sound, and at the same time, a small stone flew out of Fucha's hand.

Seeing this, Ling Gufu hurriedly picked up the sword and swung it across her neck. Suddenly, blood gushed out from Ling Gufu's neck.

"General Gufu..."

Seeing this, Gou Jian and Fan Li rushed forward to support him.

"King Wu, Ling Gufu murdered and paid for his life without complaint or regret. I hope you can keep your promise and never pursue King Yue again."

Ling Gufu's body trembled, as if she had exhausted all her strength, and said to King Wu.He turned his head and looked at King Yue, his eyes were full of attachment and reluctance,

"That day when Mount Ji was poisoned, if it hadn't been for the king's rescue, Gufu would have passed away long ago. She could have died for the king, and my minister deserved his death. Please don't worry about it..."

"General Gufu..."

Gou Jian held Ling Gufu's hand tightly, two lines of tears welled up in his eyes, he shook his lips, but he couldn't speak anymore.

Ling Gufu raised her eyes again, looking at Fan Lidao,

"General Fan, you understand my concerns best. I hope that you can always protect the king for me. Gufu is very grateful."

"General Gufu, please don't say such kind words. Don't worry, I, Fan Li, swear that I will protect the king in this lifetime."

"So, I'm relieved."

Ling Gufu nodded, moved the corners of her lips with difficulty, and pulled out a smile.

Suddenly Gou Jian felt Ling Gufu's arms sinking heavily, and his breathing tightened, but he saw his eyes closed tightly, his face peaceful, as if he had fallen asleep.

"General Gufu, General Gufu..."

Gou Jian softly called Ling Gufu's name, but he never got any response.

"Your Majesty, General Gufu has left..."

Fan Li touched Tan Linggufu's breath with his hand, glanced at Gou Jian and said.

Gou Jian didn't speak, he just stood there blankly, looking at Ling Gufu in Fan Li's arms, his face pale as paper.

I remember three years ago, when we first met Helu, he was only 16 years old, but he was already a young general who made the enemy fearful.At that time, Ling Gufu was rebellious, aloof and high-spirited, her whole body exuded a cold and murderous aura, like a cold sword drawn out of its sheath, which made people stand coldly.

At that time, he looked down on himself, and was full of ridicule and contempt for himself. He thought that he was a difficult person to get along with, but he just thought that he was an ignorant and incompetent person who messed around in the harem.Ever since I saved his life on the school grounds, Ling Gufu has lived and died with him, experienced ups and downs, and at some point, he faded away from the youthfulness and arrogance of the past, and I am used to it. Overwhelmed by his contribution, he even took it for granted, and never really cared about him.

"Your Majesty, don't be too sad. General Gufu deserved his death. If it were a humble minister, the humble minister would do the same."

Fan Li took a deep look at Gou Jian and said.

"Ling Gufu is dead, and the widow who killed his father will no longer be held accountable, but the King of Yue has repeatedly tried to put the widow to death. If the country of Wu is to retreat, unless the King of Yue agrees to be the widow's slave for the rest of his life...

Fu Chai stared at Gou Jian with his deep eyes, and said word by word.

……

In the summer of 494 BC, King Goujian of Yue was defeated in Kuaiji, and the vitality of the Yue army was seriously injured.

Seeing Wu's army approaching menacingly, the country of Yue will perish.At the critical moment, Goujian, king of Yue, negotiated with Fuchai, king of Wu, and offered his life freedom in exchange for ten years of peace between Wu and Yue.

Wu Jun finally retreated across the border, and a disaster of war was finally avoided because of the sacrifice made by Yue King Gou Jian.

……

In the palace of the Yue King, under the green tiles and red walls, there is a man with black hair and white clothes, leaning on the railing alone.

Standing on the Lingxiao Pavilion, you can see the land from a bird's eye view, but you can see nine palaces and palaces, thousands of households, and traffic on the fields and traffic.In the distance, there are ponds all over, the river network intersects, the lotus flowers are blooming, and the green willows are shady.As far as the eye can see, Kuaiji Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, encircling the entire Ancheng, guarding the capital of Yue Kingdom like a crouching dragon.

This is my own world, the world I got back by sacrificing my freedom and selling my self-esteem.

And if we say goodbye tomorrow, maybe we will end up with a farewell forever.

In this life, I don't know if I will have the chance to take another look at the beautiful scenery of Ancheng.

Gou Jian lowered his eyes, but saw at the entrance of Ling Xiao Pavilion, two people in armor, with crossed swords and halberds, guarding both sides like door gods.

Two days later, the red shadow bodyguard sent by Wu Guo was always with him and accompanied him closely.

Even at night, you have to check carefully inside and out to make sure that there are no hidden cabinets, secret passages, or other idle people before allowing yourself to sleep alone.

If it weren't for the fact that the Lingxiao Pavilion was really forbidden by the royal family, and I was forced to die just now, I am afraid that these two people would not just guard it peacefully below.

This feeling of being watched, eating, drinking and sleeping is really suffocating.

……

"Do you think I'm really attracted to your beauty and can't help myself? Yue Wang Goujian, you think highly of yourself too much. Does my husband want any beautiful women? I have no interest in men..."

"The King of Yue took the initiative to offer his body to serve my Fu Chai. Wouldn't the land of Yue be trampled by Wu? If the people of Yue knew that their king was hugged by me for a day and a night, what expression would they have? "

"The King of Yue has repeatedly tried to put the widow to death. If Wu is to retreat, unless the King of Yue agrees to be the widow's slave for the rest of his life..."

……

Thinking of Fu Chai's cruel and heartless words yesterday, Gou Jian felt a sharp pain in his heart.

That person sent someone to monitor his every move day and night, just to remind himself that he was already a slave.

Fucha, I didn't expect you to hate me so deeply that even my death can't relieve you.

However, since you let me survive, I, Goujian, will never sit still and let you humiliate me for the rest of my life.

Gou Jian's eyes gradually narrowed, his white pupils and black crystals were resolute and decisive.

Suddenly feeling a gust of wind coming from behind, Gou Jian instinctively dodged to the right, turned around, but saw a black shadow holding a dagger, and Leng Shengsheng rushed towards him.

Gou Jian's mind went blank for a few seconds before he realized that he was in danger.

"Escort... quickly escort..."

While calling for help, Goujian dodged to the left again, but the dagger had cut through his right arm.

Goujian clutched his right arm in pain, staggered and fled forward, suddenly his feet tightened, and he tripped and fell to the ground.

The man in black held Gou Jian's right shoulder, pressed him tightly, picked up the dagger in one hand, and stabbed Gou Jian fiercely.

The sharp dagger reflected the sunlight, shining brightly, which hurt Gou Jian's eyes.

At this moment, a blue shadow floated past, and then Goujian felt light on his body. When he realized it, he saw that the black-clothed assassin had been tied behind his back by Fan Li, unable to move.

At this time, the two red shadow guards who heard Gou Jian's cry for help arrived and arrested the man in black.

Goujian struggled to get up from the ground, covering his right arm with his hand, but blood seeped out from his slender fingers.

"My lord, are you injured?"

Seeing Gou Jian bleeding, Fan Li's heart suddenly tugged.

The day before yesterday, I was in a state of embarrassment. After offending this person, Fan Li didn't know how to face Goujian, so he could only secretly follow behind him every day, silently guarding him.

Lingxiao Pavilion is a forbidden area of ​​the royal family, except for King Yue, other idlers are not allowed to enter.

Just now, after following Gou Jian, seeing him enter the High Heaven Pavilion and disappearing from his sight, Fan Li felt uneasy for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to sneak into the High Heaven Pavilion secretly. Unexpectedly, when he came up, he found that Gou Jian was almost killed by the man in black.

Looking at the white clothes that were stained red with blood, Fan Li was filled with remorse. He only hated that Gou Jian did not resolutely follow when he entered the High Heaven Pavilion.

Fan Li took out a bottle of golden sore medicine from his bosom, stepped forward, grabbed Gou Jian's right arm with one hand, and wanted to clean the wound for Gou Jian.

Unexpectedly, Gou Jian's body trembled uncontrollably.

"I'll come by myself..."

Gou Jian gave him a wary look, took the golden sore medicine in his hand, and stepped back two steps.

Fan Li's heart trembled, he stopped in his tracks, and just stood there stupidly.

Unexpectedly, when this person saw him, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Could it be that because of my own impulsiveness, I have lost the qualification to protect this person.

Majesty, do you know that Fan Li only wants to protect you well, that's all.

……

Fan Li walked up to the man in black, yanked off the mask of the man in black, grabbed the man's throat with one hand, and shouted sharply,

"Speak! Who sent you here!"

"The traitorous king, everyone gets it and kills him..."

Although his life was hanging by a thread, the man in black showed no fear on his face. He stared at Gou Jian angrily, his eyes seemed to want to tear Gou Jian to pieces.

"Goujian, you coward, you are willing to sell yourself as a slave in order to save your life. You are a disgrace to us Yue people. You are not worthy to be our king..."

Suddenly the voice of the man in black stopped abruptly, and he stared at Fan Li in front of him with wide eyes. Bright red blood overflowed from the corner of his lips, but his body slowly fell to the ground.

The blue clothes fluttered and fluttered in the wind. At this time, Fan Li's face was stern, like a Shura's, and his glazed eyes were full of murderous intent.

No one should insult this person.

Absolutely not.

……

"Fan Qing, do the people of Yue really hate me so much?"

Gou Jian's voice sounded in his ears, Fan Li turned his head, but saw Gou Jian's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of surprise and shock.

King Goujian of Yue sacrificed his lifelong freedom in exchange for ten years of peace between Wuyue and Yue. However, the people of Yue state have a lot of discussion in private, saying that King Goujian of Yue is cowardly and cowardly.

In short, there are some unsavory gossips in the streets and alleys, and even the court ladies and eunuchs, and the ministers of the court are quite critical.

Fan Li and the doctor Wenzhong worked hard to block it, which prevented the spread of rumors.

I thought that as long as I get through today, when this person enters the state of Wu, then these rumors can no longer hurt this person.

Unexpectedly, the assassin's words would waste all his hard work.

Fan Li wished he could flog the assassin's corpse three hundred times to vent his hatred.

"Your Majesty... don't listen to this man's nonsense, there is no such thing..."

Looking at Goujian, who was in a state of despair and body crumbling, Fan Li's heart ached so much that he wished he could hold him tightly in his arms to comfort him.

But his rashness the day before yesterday has already hurt this person, so now he can't offend him casually.

Fan Li had no choice but to control the impulse in his heart, and said softly to Gou Jian with a distance of one meter.

Gou Jian suddenly twitched the corners of his lips, and pulled out a bleak smile,

"Oh... the widow understands..."

No wonder the maids and eunuchs were whispering to each other these few days, and when they saw him, they were a little flustered. Gou Jian thought it was because of the two door gods behind him, but he didn't expect it to be so.

It turned out that the people of Yue State had such great opinions on him, but he didn't know it. He foolishly thought that if he made a sacrifice to save the Yue State, the people would love him more.

world?Could this be the world that he desperately guarded?

He has already lost himself, is it possible that he will also lose the hearts of the people in the world now?

"Your Majesty, don't worry... it's just a few villains causing trouble, and Fan Li will definitely deal with them one by one."

Gou Jian suddenly waved his hand at Fan Li,

"Defending the people's mouth is better than Fangchuan. Now that the dam has been broken, how can Fan Qing prevent it?"

"Kings……"

Fan Li wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gou Jian, who saw the white pupil and black crystal looking at him resolutely and resolutely,

"Since ancient times, if a prince succeeds, a prince loses and a bandit falls. Fan Qing, a widow will never lose..."

Just knew that this person would not be so vulnerable.

Fan Li understood, bent his eyes, and smiled faintly at Gou Jian.
