Xi Shi looked at King Wu's face, King Wu seemed to be accustomed to Wu Zixu's attitude, and did not show obvious boredom.

The husband changed his sitting posture, supported his head with his other hand, and said to the Yue girls with great interest: "What Father Ya said is very reasonable, those three beauties, it seems that the heart of King Yue has also been in vain. ”

Hearing this, the three Yue girls were shocked, but they quickly calmed down.

Xi Shi thought that if he had to kill them so easily, King Wu would not have bothered so much to pick them up in person.

But Xi Shi knew that Ji Gongzi was pretending to be King Wu, but Zheng Dan and Su Yi didn't know. They also thought that King Wu really had no opinions and wanted to get rid of them.

Although Zheng Dan was not named by Wu Zixu just now, he was very anxious when he heard that he was going to deal with Xi Shi, and the husband also looked indifferent. With a roll of his eyes, he blurted out: "As strong as King Wu, he can repel the enemy army in Tangtang and bow down, but now he is afraid of three little women?" ”

As soon as Zheng Dan finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and Wu Zixu raised his neck and said, "Sophistry!" Agitation doesn't work for us! ”

Although Wu Zixu said this, the husband showed an unconvinced look, and said: "It makes sense, the widow conquered the world, and he couldn't conquer three weak women?" ”

Wu Zixu turned to look at King Wu and was stunned, and said angrily and anxiously: "King! There are countless beauties in my Wu country, so why bother to accept this woman from Yue country? If the king feels empty, Weichen is willing to find some beautiful women with innocent family backgrounds for the king. Besides, a few of them had practiced so many fox charm magic techniques in Wu Kingdom before they came, and they really couldn't stay. Throughout the ages, how many kings have been defeated at the hands of women, please think twice. ”

After Wu Zixu finished speaking, all the courtiers persuaded in unison: "Please think twice, the king." ”

Hearing this, King Wu made a relieved expression again, smashed his mouth, and said, "Okay, beauties, it's not that the widow doesn't want to keep you, it's really difficult for the Aiqing to tolerate you." ”

Zheng Dan gritted his teeth and was about to reply, but was held down by Xi Shi.

Xi Shi smiled and bowed to King Wu, and then bowed to Wu Zixu, and said, "The slave family has words." ”

Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted by Xi Shi's delicate voice, admiring her harmless but slightly coquettish face, while looking forward to what she had to say.

King Wu waved his hand lightly, motioning for her to speak.

Xi Shi bowed again, and after getting up, he said eloquently: "Xi Shi and the sisters are willing to obey the decision of the king and the adults. ”

As soon as the words fell, the hall began to chatter from ear to ear.

"What? She said they were willing to ......"

"This woman is pure and good......"

"It's just a woman, why ......"

"It's a shame to be so beautiful......"

"In case they're ......"

"It's better to kill by mistake than to let ...... go"

There was an endless stream of discussions in the main hall, and several factions of people insisted on their own words, and some people felt that they must be killed just in case; Some people think that it is just a little woman, if you don't dare to ask for it, it will be embarrassing to say it.

The two parties began to argue in a whisper because of Xi Shi's words, and they were willing to stop knowing that King Wu coughed.

"You." Fucha stretched out his hand and pointed at Xi Shi, and waited until Xi Shi looked at him before he continued: "You are not afraid of death? ”

Everyone's attention was fixed on Xi Shi's face, and Xi Shi calmly replied: "I'm afraid, but I'm ready to die." ”

"Oh?" The husband asked with interest.

After Xi Shi stretched out his hand to take the hands of Zheng Dan and Su Yi left and right, he looked at King Wu and said, "King Yue told us that if the king likes us, we will take care of and serve the king for him and the country, because the king is a hero and a benefactor of the king of Yue and the country of Yue." King Yue also told us that if the king doesn't like us, whether we want to return to the country or die, we must accept it with a smile, because King Wu has done his duty to us, and we should not embarrass King Wu. And the three of us have not made the king like us now, and we have already embarrassed the king, so Xi Shi and the others are waiting for the king to fall. ”

After that, Xi Shi secretly gently pressed Zheng Dan and Su Yi's hands, and led them to kneel on the ground, and only got up after a long time.

Xi Shi used her simple voice to say sincere and frank words, and used innocent words like "like" and "dislike" to describe her "death" or "immortality" ending, which really makes people feel exceptionally simple and beautiful, and people are unwilling to speculate on her with malice.

Even Wu Zixu was silent, just squinting at Xi Shi, not knowing what he was thinking.

King Wu sat on a high seat, with unfathomable stars floating in his eyes, but he kept his mouth shut, just looking at the petite Xi Shi kneeling in the hall.

The ministers whispered while figuring out the psychology of King Wu and Wu Zixu Xiangguo.

Everyone saw King Wu looking directly at Xi Shi's eyes, so they tacitly exchanged glances with each other. Then, a minister with a mole on the corner of his mouth in the front row of the main hall stood up, saluted King Wu, and said, "King, Weichen has a word. ”

Only then did King Wu retract his eyes, look at the minister, and said, "Bo Yao Dazai, please will." ”

Bo Yaohan smiled and said, "Weichen thinks that Wu Xiangguo is indeed worried about the country and the people, and it is really admirable that he has broken his heart for you." However, Weichen is foolish, these three Yue Nuzuo are just a few little girls, and they seem to be well-behaved and sensible, they are some intimate people who can serve the king, why should the king avoid them like a tiger. If we say it, we are dignified in Wu Kingdom, and we don't even dare to accept the three little girls sent by Yue Guo, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth! ”

What Bo Ya said was very poignant, and some ministers who thought the same way also began to say, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

The situation was very good, but King Wu did not make a decision, but turned his head to look at Wu Zixu, as if waiting for him to make a decision.

Wu Zixu frowned and pondered for a while, but still said to King Wu categorically: "King, the old minister still thinks it's inappropriate. It's better to send them back to Yue and thank King Yue again. ”

King Wu seemed to have known his answer, and did not show the slightest look of displeasure and opposition, and said to Wu Zixu: "The widow listens to his father. ”

Wu Zixu stretched his brows at this time, and was about to wave his hand to let Yue Nu stay, Xi Shi bowed to Wu Zixu first, and said, "Thank you for Wu Xiangguo's grace of not killing." Sure enough, you are a great and good person like King Wu, no wonder your prestige can even be heard by a country woman like Xi Shi. To be able to meet the virtuous ministers of Kuang Shi today is really a good time to come to Wu State. ”

Wu Zixu just put down the hand that was about to be raised, and then said lightly to Xi Shi: "Fortunately, you are sensible, otherwise I am afraid that I would not be able to go back so easily today." ”

After that, Wu Zixu beckoned someone to take them down again.

But at this time, Bo Ya sighed heavily.

King Wu asked curiously, "Dazai-sama, what's wrong with you?" ”

The guards were about to take Xi Shi and them down, but King Wu was talking, so it was not good to withdraw directly, so they obediently stood in place and waited for King Wu to finish speaking.

Everyone's attention was pulled away by Bo Ya, and Xi Shi secretly surfaced a smile, which was fleeting.

I only heard Dazai sigh again, shook his head, and said: "Wu Xiangguo is really too concerned about the king, and the name of the virtuous minister has spread all over the countryside of other countries, but Weichen really sighs!" ”

King Wu asked again, "What is Dazai sighing about?" Wouldn't it be nice that Lord Xiangguo has outstanding abilities and fame? ”

Bo Yao slowly knelt on the ground and said to King Wu and Wu Zixu: "Please ask the king and Xiangguo to forgive Weichen for the crime of upright speech, so that Weichen dares to speak." ”

King Wu let out an "um" and motioned for him to continue.

Bo Yao said with regret in his voice: "Everyone in the world knows that Wu Xiangguo is famous and famous, and he is a great talent; So what do you think of the king? Wu Xiangguo bowed to the essence of the king and died, but the king of our Wu country is clearly a king who is rare for thousands of years, but because of his respect for Wu Xiangguo, he now even accepts three Yue girls to listen to the words of Lord Xiangguo, which is really annoying! ”

After that, Bo Yao knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. Seeing this, the other ministers all felt bad, and when they saw that King Wu's face was extremely bad, they all fell to their knees and fell to the ground, silent.

Xi Shi and the others also knelt on the ground, carefully observing the movement in the temple.

Wu Zixu, the voice of the main hall, stood alone in place, with his back straight, without the slightest intention of kneeling.

Wu Zixu looked at the ministers left and right, looked at King Wu squarely, and said: "King, the first king entrusted the old minister to assist you, and the old minister did not dare to have a trace of negligence. If you call the old minister 'sub-father', the old minister will be worthy of this title. You are kind-hearted, and you don't want to do many things too hard, so this wicked minister is willing to do it for you, and I only hope that you can be safe and happy. ”

Wu Zixu said sincerely, and King Wu said in a soft voice: "The widow knows, and the father has also bothered over the years. ”

Seeing that King Wu understood, Wu Zixu smiled rarely, with a look of relief.

But Bo Yao stood up, held back and held back at Wu Zixu, and finally said the words in his mouth: "Wu Xiangguo, you have always been good friends with me, and there are some things that I have explicitly hinted at you and you have not listened to you a few times, but this time I must make it clear to you in front of the king." ”

Everyone looked up, but they were all trying to restrain their expressions of anticipation, wanting to watch this rare and lively scene.

Bo Yao didn't wait for Wu Zixu to reply, and opened his mouth directly and said: "Wu Xiangguo, in the past, the king was young and needed assistance everywhere, so it is natural for you and us to help." But now that our king's wings are full, it is the time when we need to make a name for ourselves, and we as courtiers don't have to be too entangled in some things. If we overshadow the king, even if the king cares about the nonsense of 'high merit and shocking the master', we should be low-key and cautious. If the king really needs to be reminded in time, it is okay to come out and stop it, why force the king to do what we think is right everywhere? Are we necessarily making the right decision? ”

Speaking of this, Bo Yao stopped and observed the expressions of King Wu and Wu Zixu, King Wu's expression was unfathomable, and Wu Zixu was thoughtful.

Seeing that no one interrupted, Bo Yao continued: "It's like today's Yue Nu incident. Wu Xiangguo felt that they might be a disaster and must be driven away immediately. But throughout the ages, how many women can serve as the name of the red face and the trouble? Is it because they are foreign that we should all be excluded? Then our queen of Qi and the princess of Chu will all be expelled from the state of Wu? Even some of our courtiers, including you and me, are not all from other countries? Wu Xiangguo, I don't like to speak so badly every day, but today's incident is really hurtful to spread out. ”

The head of what Bo Yao said is the Tao, although everyone respects King Wu, but Wu Guoli is really basically Wu Zixu said it. It's just that King Wu respects Xiangguo and treats him well, even if they mind Wu Zixu's high merit, the king only listens to him, and the rights are basically given to him, and no one dares to stand up and say this.

Now Bo Yao has become the first person to say what is in everyone's heart, and he has the courage to guess that this is also the true idea of King Wu, so he followed Bo Yao to echo a few words, and the rest of the people also responded to each call and supported Bo Ya.

For a while, Wu Zixu turned out to be the finger of Qianfu.
