Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

A solitary moon hung in the sky, Guan Fuxiu had just finished washing and was sitting by the bed, a flute sound came from a distance, he blew out the lamp on the table.Startled, Xiong Lu jumped up from the bed and said softly, "What's wrong?"

"Hush, don't make a sound, I'll go and have a look." After saying that, he jumped out of the window.

Xiong Lu faintly felt that the peaceful life of the two of them was coming to an end soon.King Zhuang sent someone to follow them from afar. Once the two of them entered the territory of Chu, King Zhuang would probably know about it.

Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, Guan Fuxiu jumped back from the window, sat by the bed, and remained silent for a long time.

"Let's go back?"

"Yes. I know they must follow, but I didn't expect..."

Xiong Lu sighed softly, and said, "Alright, if we go back earlier, we can get rid of the poison on your body sooner."

Guan Fuxiu lay down next to the couple of bears: "Once we go back, we will definitely fall into a new predicament."

Xiong Lu knew that what he said was true, but he had to go down this road.

Still in that secret room, Xiong Lu quietly looked at the young king who looked exactly like him, holding a wine glass while leisurely flipping through a scroll of silk.

"Fuxiu's antidote is fine, you don't have to worry."

Xionglu nodded and said, "I believe in you."

"You must be wondering why I let you stay."

Xiong Lu thought to himself, you are saying that you want me to be a scapegoat again, right?

He drank a cup and said: "In the spring, I will lead the army to fight against Lu Hun's army."

Lu Hun's army?The bears raised their heads sharply.

In history, King Zhuang used the name of the Rong who fought against Lu Hun to send troops to the suburbs of Zhou to ask for the importance of the crown, which shocked the emperor of Zhou and all the princes.Thinking about it carefully, Ji Ban is dead, Ji Yu is in power, and it is indeed time to aspire to the Central Plains.

"I will leave Yingdu, and I think you should know what will happen here." He smiled.

Xiong Lu thought for a while, and asked uncertainly, "Are you worried about Doujiao?" He vaguely remembered that Doujiao would commit rebellion, and the timing of the rebellion seemed to be when King Zhuang came back from the battle.

"I think you have read a lot of history books, and you have a good memory." He shook the flagon.

"Really? Then what are you going to ask me to do?"

"It's very simple, you go to win the Central Plains to resist the rebels, and I will temporarily be your shadow and plan strategies."

"You don't want to do something so exciting in the Central Plains? Why don't I go and fend off the rebels for you?" Xiong Lu was puzzled.

"What I say, you do it. How interesting it is to win the Central Plains, don't you want to go?"

"I don't want to." Xiong Lu said, "Anyway, I will be blocked by Wang Sunman in the end, so it's not interesting."

King Zhuang smiled lightly: "Why don't you and I join forces and take Luoyi down in one fell swoop?"

"No, no, no..." Xiong Lu shook his head hastily, "With the strength of Chu State, it is not difficult to win Luoyi in one fell swoop. The difficult thing is that from now on, Chu State will be conquered by various princes."

"You're right, this move is just to frighten the emperor and the princes."

Xionglu asked suspiciously, "Why did you tell me so much?"

Zhuang Wang raised his eyebrows: "Buddhism has a saying of reincarnation. You and I are so similar, I think you are my reincarnation. It's not surprising that you are special to yourself after 2000?"

"Buddhism? Do you still believe in Buddhism? In your age, Buddhism has not yet been introduced to China... No, Buddhism was born in the sixth century BC. You and I are at the end of the seventh century BC, and Buddhism has not yet appeared..."

"So, can you help?"

"Hey..." Xiong Lu sighed.

"You have no control in my hands. You can decide for yourself whether you want to do it or not. I won't force you." After finishing speaking, she wanted to get up.

"Hey, wait a minute, the yin and yang are in your hands, you know I can't stay here forever."

Zhuang Wang turned around: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you get back here."

"Haha, this..."

"Since you can come back, why can't you leave?"

Xiong Lu was stunned, maybe he shouldn't have asked this question just now.It was the shaman's will to send him back, King Zhuang probably didn't know about it.The reason why King Zhuang didn't ask before was probably because he thought that he or Fuxiu might find another way to travel through time and space, but now that he asked this question, he could immediately guess that he was still here because he couldn't help himself.

Xiong Lu thought badly, Zhuang Wang smiled slightly: "You have to rely on the yin and yang disk when you go back? Then, who sent you here? The summoning of Fuxiu is no longer effective, or the last time you were summoned so far is also an exception. It just happened to trigger a certain mechanism, not his own power."

"I will stay and help you get rid of the Ruo Ao family. But...you should think carefully about the things you want to do. Unification of the Central Plains has a definite number in the dark, and it cannot be changed by one person. .”

He stood with his hands behind his back: "Don't want to say? That's fine, then go back. Before going out, I will let my people go to find you. If things go well, and Ruo Ao's is settled, I will let the two of you go."

Xiong Lu stood up, Zhuang Wang turned his back to him, looking a bit lonely.Even though the clothes are beautiful and the wine is fine, there is no one who knows you here, so it must be a bit lonely.

In a small clean courtyard on the outskirts of Yingdu City, Guan Fuxiu drank a few sips of wine and said with a smile, "Very well, you don't have to worry, I think it's a good thing to make him suspicious."

"How to say?" Xiong Lu stuffed a few pieces of candy cakes into his mouth and asked inarticulately.

"Who can trigger the yin-yang disk now, isn't it just Qu Wuchen? After you said this, he must have guessed that when you come here again, you still pass the yin-yang disk. So... who will he suspect?" ?”

"Ah, he will suspect that the shaman is unfaithful?"

"That's right!" Guan Fuxiu's eyes lit up, "Perhaps, in a short while, the time to plot against the witch minister will come."

Xiong Lu grabbed his clothes and thought for a while, then said, "Fuxiu, actually I haven't figured out what to do in the future."

"What are you afraid of? Now the city of Yingdu is changing rapidly, so let's stay the same. If the situation is favorable for the two of us, we will play by ear, and if it is not convenient, we will stay dormant for a while. I believe that this time will come soon."

"Okay, okay, it's just... I think I'm about to become a missing person..." Xiong Lu held his chin depressedly, "It's best to solve it as soon as possible, and go back as soon as possible. How to balance the power of the four gods?" , and how can we persuade King Zhuang not to rush in?"

Guan Fuxiu looked at the transparent liquid in the cup and said: "People, as long as they have ambition and strength, they always want to take a step forward. If they break their wings, they are willing to lie dormant for a while, and they can stop to see clearly." The situation is over."

"You mean looking for a chance to hit him?"

"In my opinion... if Doujiao really takes the opportunity to rebel as you said, this is an excellent time."

Xiong Lu warned: "Fuxiu, don't do dangerous things."

Guan Fuxiu nodded Xiong Lu's forehead, and said: "I think you were bitten by a snake once. Don't worry, I won't do anything that I'm not sure about. Soon the Kingdom of Chu will fight against the army of Luhun. If he suspects Qu Wuchen someday, maybe it will make Qu Wuchen have a different heart. Let's wait for a while, and find a way to meet Qu Wuchen for a while."

Xiong Lu looked at the courtyard, a tree of Samuumes was in full bloom, and one could smell the cold fragrance of plum blossoms in the room.After returning from Luoyi, he rented this quiet small courtyard with the money given by King Zhuang, and finally lived a decent life.

The fire was burning vigorously, and the two of them sat around the fire, feeling quite warm.It's just that there is no shadow, a little deserted, and I don't know how he is doing in Luoyi.The Zhou Dynasty will not be destroyed now, and King Ding will die in peace. He should be safe there.He has paid too much for rest and himself, so it's time for him to rest.

On the outskirts of Yingdu, the refugee houses built a few years ago are still solid, and there are many more houses around, which were newly built by people later.Everyone lives here peacefully, reclaiming wasteland, farming and recuperating, and no longer needs government assistance.However, Qu Wuchen still came here from time to time, but not as frequently as before.Sometimes I only take a few glances from a distance, and then leave quietly.Of course, there are times when they are recognized by local children.At this time, he would be surrounded by children and asked to play together.He would smile softly and play with the children for a while.

Unexpectedly, when he came here today, he met two unexpected guests.

Guan Fuxiu covered his face, was dressed in brown linen clothes, and stood with his hands behind his back.Qu Wuchen smiled and said: "It's been a long time, two old friends, did you have something to do with Wuchen today?"

Wearing a bamboo hat, the Xiong couple took a step closer to him and said, "Of course there is something to do."

"I'm afraid it's not good for you two to follow me secretly." Wu Chen put his hands in his sleeves and stood with his arms around his chest. "If you let the king know, Wu Chen may be misunderstood."

"He has misunderstood, hasn't he?" Guan Fuxiu said.

"Wu Chen, come here, I have something to tell you."

Qu Wuchen looked at Xiong Lu, hesitated for a while, turned around and walked out of the forest, chatted with his entourage, and the entourage walked away.Afterwards, he walked towards the bear couple and stopped in front of him.

"What did you say to the king?"

Xiong Lu shook his head: "Qu Wuchen, things are not as you imagined. You must be wondering why I came back here suddenly, it's all thanks to you."

"Me?" Qu Wuchen smiled, obviously not convinced.

"Don't believe it, it was you after 2000 who sent me back here."

Wat Wuchen was startled and asked, "After 2000?"

Guan Fuxiu nodded and said, "Just listen to what he has to say, as for how to make the decision, it's up to you."
