Wu Zixu thought he was dead, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a big face in front of him.

Why is the king here? Won't it ...... How could it be so fast? Wu Zixu suddenly thought of that possibility, and his face turned pale.

"Wu Xiang, you're finally awake!" Fucha said.

Awake? Isn't it dead? Can you wake up when you're dead?

Before Wu Zixu could react, he heard his husband raise his voice and say, "You all come in!" Wu Xiang woke up. ”

Six or seven people came in Hulala outside the door, and Wu Zixu looked at it, it was a few of his henchmen and several pillars of his servants, such as Hu Chong, Wei Wei Guan Hua, and Lang Zhongling Bo Zijun.

Could it be that they were all killed? This faint king! Wu Zixu was so angry that he wanted to die again.

Several people saw Wu Zixu's eyes roll, and hurriedly pounced on the pinching of the people, and they were smooth. There was a rush of hands.

Wu Zixu was in pain, so he felt that something was wrong. Even if Fucha kills these important ministers, it will take time for Gou Jian to destroy Wu, how could Fucha die with him so quickly?

Wait, it hurts? Ghosts hurt too? Isn't he dead? Wu Wanggang said he was "awake"?

Thinking of the day of suicide, King Wu's henchmen insisted on entering the house with him, and before he could draw his sword and commit suicide, he said: "Prime Minister Wu, the king has a will, please forgive the little offense!" Then his eyes went dark. When I opened my eyes, it was now.

Wu Zixu finally turned the corner. Obviously, the husband made a game and made him fake his death.

Since he didn't die, although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister could not be abolished, and Wu Zixu got up and wanted to salute.

"Wu Xiang is not polite!" The husband hurriedly held him up and prevented him from bowing down.

"The king, this is ......" Since the husband is not allowed to worship, Wu Zixu is not persistent. He still has a stomach full of questions to ask.

"Wu Xiang really thinks that this king is the king of the dead country who is unscrupulous?" Fucha did not explain directly, but asked Wu Zixu.

When Wu Zixu heard this, he thought that his husband was smart and decisive when he was young, and when he grew up, he was wise and brave, smart and wise, not only defeated the Yue Kingdom to avenge the first king of Lu, but also was extremely clear in political affairs, making Wu a prince and a hegemon. These made him feel that it was right to support his husband to succeed to the throne back then. If it weren't for the two traitorous concubines Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, the husband would not have abandoned the government, favored the traitors, wasted national strength to build a palace, and gave Yue Guo an opportunity to take advantage of.

What does Wu Zixu think, the husband has a spectrum in his heart. So he didn't wait for Wu Zixu to answer, but continued to ask: "Does Wu Xiang really think that this king will be so confused that he will not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and kill you and other loyal ministers?" ”

"This ......"

It is true that the husband did not kill them. Although they had often had conflicts with them in the court before, the faces of the quarrels were red-faced, and the husband repeatedly belittled them, and even shouted to "give death". But they were actually all fine, and they didn't hurt a single hair.

"Wu Xiang, you are the person left by my father for me. My father died young, and in my mind, you have always been a 'father'. If it weren't for your hard work and support, the Kingdom of Wu might not have prospered as much as it does now, let alone become a tyrant of the princes. How could this king really kill you? Fucha smiled slightly and looked at Wu Zixu, "Your family was also sent to the border in the name of 'exile' to be secretly protected." ”

"The Great King......" Wu Zixu has quarreled frequently with his husband over the years, and he has long been accustomed to his alienated and angry appearance, and suddenly heard that he still trusted himself as much as he did when he was a child, and affirmed his dedication to Wu Guo, his heart couldn't help but be sour, and his tone was a little choked.

"Xiangye, several of us have been excluded from official positions on the surface, but in fact, the king has other arrangements for us. We moved from the open to the dark. The people who had just come in also spoke.

"This is all to paralyze Yue Guo, so that Gou Jian will take it lightly, and mistakenly think that every qiē is under his control." Fu Cha explained.

"Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are indeed the intermediaries sent by Gou Jian. But they've been honest with me for a long time. Gou Jian used them and intended to sterilize them, fearing that they would give birth to my heirs, which completely chilled their hearts. Now, they are our people. The personal maids beside them are the real ones. ”

"Xi Shi told me that there was something wrong with Bo Ya. After I sent someone to investigate secretly, I found that his house was full of beautiful jade treasures, and he was rich enough to rival the country. This is not a wealth that can be possessed by his position and background. His wife and several concubines were from the Yue Kingdom. I will take what I have calculated and reuse it for him. ”

When Wu Zixu heard this, he was furious, "This shaft! If you hadn't taken him in, he would have been hunted down and killed by the enemy. He didn't want to repay the favor, and even betrayed you! I'm going to let him die a good death!" ”

"Not everyone is as affectionate as Wu Xiang." Fu almost didn't care, and chuckled, "I put Bo Yao in the position of the head of the ministers, no matter whether Yue Guo or the other courtiers are bribed, they will definitely value him the most." As long as I keep an eye on Bo Yao, I will be able to know the dynamics of the country. ”

"Although we defeated the Yue Kingdom in the last Fujiao War, the Wu State fought for many years before, and the people's livelihood withered, even if Gou Jian was destroyed, he couldn't swallow the Yue Kingdom. It's different now. I am ready to use this ceremony to wipe out Gou Jian and his henchmen and completely destroy the Yue Kingdom. Fucha's eyes were firm, and he said his ultimate goal, and then held the tiger talisman in front of Wu Zixu, and said solemnly: "Please help me with Wu!" ”

"The king doesn't have to be like this! This is also the wish of the old minister for many years! Wu Zixu hurriedly said and took the tiger talisman given by his husband.

It was as if he had seen the high-spirited young king he had been on the throne again.

If there is a monarch like this, what more can the ministers ask for!

A month later, Gou Jian and Fan Li took 20,000 horses and personally escorted Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's parents to Fusu City. Only 2,000 people were brought into the city, and the rest were ambushed in the Valley of Hundred Flowers outside Fusu City. He also ordered the doctor to gather 40,000 soldiers and horses in early February to gather with the soldiers and horses in the Valley of Hundred Flowers. According to the information provided by Dazai, Fusu City only has a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and these 60,000 horses should be more than enough. And they are prepared to attack unprepared, and there is absolutely no problem in taking Fusu.

Baihua Valley is only thirty miles away from Fusu City, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, but the valley is a long and narrow flat land, which is suitable for hiding soldiers.

Fan Li has come to Fusu many times, and he has already surveyed the terrain clearly. From Huiji to Fusu, they had to pass through the land of two states, and the officials of these two states were also replaced by Dazaiya's own people, and when the army crossed, they closed their doors and pretended not to know.

The Anle Hou Mansion and the Anping Hou Mansion given by the husband to Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's parents are two adjacent mansions, spacious and bright, with good locations, and it is very convenient to go anywhere.

The husband originally arranged for Gou Jian to live in a guest house specially designed to entertain foreign envoys, but Gou Jian didn't want to live under the nose of the husband to be watched, and for the sake of freedom of movement, he directly reported to the husband, saying that An Lehou and An Pinghou were old, and asked to live in the Hou Mansion to help them take care of government affairs, and at the same time handed a message to Xi Shi and Zheng Dan to ask them to help talk about the item. The husband readily agreed.

Maybe it was because of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's survival, and the husband ignored Gou Jian's love this time, and he didn't embarrass him much. While Gou Jian breathed a sigh of relief, he and Fan Li intensively launched various deployments, mobilizing the intermediaries they had placed in the harem, the court and the minister's house of the Wu Kingdom, using Dazai Yao to control the people in key positions in his own hands, and even installed a small team of people at the city gate and the palace gate.

Gou Jian has been very happy lately. Everything was moving in the direction he had hoped. The thought of being able to step on Fucha's head in two months is a dream to laugh.

Zheng Dan has been a little worried in recent days. Unlike the joy of Xi Shi after the imminent closure, she is both sweet and sad. Hongguo saw it in his eyes, and secretly raised his vigilance in his heart.

On this day, the husband left after having dinner with Zheng Dan. Zheng Dan was very sad after he left, and she even asked Hongguo: "Hongguo, you say, is it right for us to do this?" King Wu is so good to us! ”

"Madam, we are from the Yue country!" Hongguo "chuckled" in his heart, but he still persuaded him.

"Yes, we are Yue people! I always thought we were doing the right thing. However, King Wu has always been devoted to us, but we have betrayed him. If he dies, can we really have peace of mind? Zheng Dan held on to the mahogany window lattice carved with begonia flowers, and his figure looked very thin. She was full of melancholy, and asked as if she were talking to herself, "I guess I can't find anyone who will be so good to me, right?" ”

"Madam, King Yue and Fan are very good to you! They even help you take care of your parents! When it happens, they will never treat you badly. "Hongguo must stabilize Zheng Dan first, and don't let her tell the matter on impulse.

"They're nice to me. Fan Xiang is still the lover of Xi Shi's sister! I don't want to betray them. But in the past few years, King Wu has always been so good to me, and I have regarded King Wu as my real husband. How could I watch him perish? Zheng Dan stroked his heart, looking pained.

"Madam, if you reveal this matter, maybe you can save King Wu, but don't forget that your parents are still in the hands of King Yue and Fan Xiang, they will both die. and your beloved sister Xi Shi will definitely be implicated and die. Do you really bear it? Hongguo was really afraid that Zheng Dan would run out on impulse and tell the matter, and he couldn't care about it so much, so he had to remind Zheng Dan with a threatening voice.

"I can't bear it! So I don't know what to do! I don't want any of them to be harmed. What the hell am I supposed to do? Zheng Dan's face was full of confusion.

"Madam, King Yue just wants to restore the country, and he didn't say that he must kill King Wu. It's a big deal, when the time comes, you beg the king of Yue to spare his life. For the sake of you and Mrs. Xi Shi's contribution to the Yue Kingdom, maybe the King of Yue will agree. You must be too tired to think so much. I'll talk about it tomorrow. Rest early! "Hongguo must first appease Zheng Dan and send the news out as much as possible, if it can't be handled properly, they will all be exposed.

Zheng Dan probably felt tired too, so he didn't say anything more, and turned around and went back to the dormitory.

Soon, a series of strange whistles sounded in the Liuzhu Palace. Then a black dove fluttered and flew inconspicuous under the cover of the night. Hongguo tied a small cloth to the pigeon's feet and let the pigeon go.

In the middle of the night, the pigeon flew back again. The pigeon had a piece of cloth tied to its legs and a small silk bag. Hongguo read the note and made up her mind. Take off the silk bag, carefully hide it in the mezzanine inside the pillow, and sleep peacefully.
