Chapter 312: Fortune telling

Before the words fell, Mao Qiao grabbed the door and left, and the people who came to watch on the street disappeared.

After a fight, he returned to Ning Lone, and the chill hit him, and Ziying inexplicably felt that he was a bit like a monkey who killed a few robbers and was driven away.

"This person is the king's old friend?" Ji Han asked.

"Sort of, attack Bashu and come to Qin, and leave when the Western Wei is defeated." Ziying sighed.

Ji Han was puzzled, "It seems that the personal relationship is not deep, how dare you do this to the king, you are really looking for death!" ”

"If Aiqing has leisure in the future, he will go south from Hanzhong to the west of Hanzhong to Bashu, and then he will understand..."

Old things come to mind, although the time is not far away, but I feel a different world. At that time, Bashu and Western Wei were all there, worried and uneasy, but there were many friends and ministers to help.

I once thought that the big thing was over, and I rewarded it with a big reward, and then tried to do a great job. In the end, that's how it turned out.

"Do not be anxious, your king, for if this man is determined to turn his back on him, he will not hide it." Zhang Ao said with relief.

"Or maybe so." Ziying nodded with a complicated expression.

Zhao Ning stood silent, in his heart, Ziying's violent behavior can be done or not, and if others kill him, it will not cause much turmoil.

But... He is the king of Qin, because of that word, he is definitely not a benevolent monarch in the hearts of the world, doing benevolent deeds or being regarded as hypocrisy, if he does murder, he will definitely be regarded as his true nature.

"But that King of Hengshan, can he really abandon the throne and not sit?" Ji Han asked, "That person was deceiving the king just now, right?" ”

"Wu Rui may be able to do this." Ziying analyzed, "But the throne is not trivial. Because of Wu Rui's presence, Mei Li was willing to be a marquis in Meiling, and the two of the Southeast Su clan would temporarily settle down. If Wu Rui is determined to do this at this time, there will be changes in the hundred Yue. ”

Ziying paused, "It's important to find Wu Rui first." The mourning of the daughter came first, so he should not stay in the palace of the king of Jiujiang, or relieve his anger in the mountains and rivers outside the six cities. A few Aiqing quickly go and look for it. ”

As a Chu land, there are many mountains and rivers around the six cities, but Ziying can't be named.

After the rebellion of Liu An, the king of Huainan and Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty tabooed the name of Hengshan, so he took the first word of the six cities and Anfeng, and changed the Hengshan country to "Liu'an country", which means "six places are safe, and there is no rebellion", and the name of Lu'an comes from this.

And the surrounding landscapes, later generations have the name of Ten Thousand Buddha Lake, Buddha Ridge, Paradise Village... It is unlikely that it is the current name, so I can only find the general location of Zhang Ao and the others, and agree to meet outside the palace of Jiujiang.

"No!" The three of them answered.

The four of them returned to the house, opened the window and saw that there was no one around, so they jumped down.

Ji Han was worried that Zhaoping would take the opportunity to escape, so he insisted on taking Zhaoping with him, while Zhang Ao acted alone.

Ziying wanted to go to many places, but he was a little dazed when he walked to the street, holding the Chixiao Sword in his arms and at a loss, standing aside and watching the pedestrians.

Although it was wartime, the streets were crowded, and the people of Jiujiang, who were disgusted with the rule of the British Bu, finally had the courage to go out and hang out.

The people of Wu Chu come and go, they are not as tall as the people of Qindi, but they are beautiful and particularly eye-catching.

Occasionally, Wu Yue beauties passed by, which also attracted the attention of young men.

Ziying had no intention of this, and his eyes were attracted by the old man squatting on the street.

The long-haired old man squatted on the ground, with gossip in front of him, as if he made a living from fortune-telling.

Although the gossip is said to have been painted by Fu Xi, in addition to the Central Plains, Baiyue is also particularly proficient, so that later generations doubted many legends of antiquity.

Coupled with Ge Liang's words, Ziying walked in front of the old man.

"The son is extraordinary, but he is worried about his forehead, but there is something important to ask?" Lao Tzu asked, his voice exceptionally kind.

Ziying frowned unconsciously, the old man never looked up, if he didn't mean to compliment, he just peeked at him.

"My son really has something, I don't want to say it directly, I just want to ask if it can be done." Ziying said lightly, and casually threw down the usual square hole money.

"The old man will count it for his son."

Lao Tzu took the money into his arms, took out fifty yarrow sticks on the ground, and chose another one to put horizontally, using only forty-nine, sometimes divided into two piles, sometimes sandwiched between his fingers, and reciting words in his mouth.

Ziying watched quietly, Lao Tzu turned over and over, repeating a process six times, and finally stopped.

"Childe's matter is a 'no' hexagram, the dry sky is above, and the kundi is below. Although he is in power, the dry qi is up, the kun qi is downward, the monarch and the minister are not in harmony, the six qi are blocked, and the heaven and the earth are blocked. ”

"No?" Ziying smiled bitterly, "Then it's not done?" ”

"That's right, 'No bandit is not good for a gentleman; Big and small. The old man laughed.

"It's not accurate, this money is considered to be given to you."

Ziying forcibly hid his loss, turned around and was about to leave.

"Childe doesn't want to know what He Yao has changed?" The old man raised his face and shouted.

"Change?" Ziying's heart moved, but when he turned around, he saw the old man's thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was smiling, and he felt a little similar to himself.

"This hexagram is only the meaning of the moment, and the hexagram becomes another hexagram, which is to guide the direction to break the situation." The old man laughed.

"Please tell me more." The child gave up.

"No need to be polite." The old man waved his hand, "Ninety-four becomes six-fourth, and the 'no' hexagram is the 'view' hexagram, 'the light of the country, which is beneficial to the king.'" Xiang said: The light of the country, Shang Bin. If the prince is as polite as a minister, he will be appreciated by the king, and great things can be accomplished. ”

"Let the widow ... Ben Gongzi went to the man and addressed him?!! Ziying was angry and blurted out.

"This guest will have a big day in his day, and after June Fourth, it will be 'Ninety-Five: Look at my life, and the gentleman is not to blame. Xiang said: Look at my life, watch the people. 'Why can't he be honored at this time, and he will be favored by the people one day?' ”

"The people?"

Ziying recalled that when the Chu camp was held, the people went out of the city together, overwhelming the Chu army, and got a glimmer of life. The people of Wucheng heard what he needed in wartime, so they gave away a hundred times more precious ploughing oxen...

"Yes, this son should be moved by the people." Ziying sighed, "But what if you have already done something that is not the work of the guests?" ”

"'Sixty-three, look at my life, advance and retreat. Xiang said: Watching my life advance and retreat, I have not lost my way. The old man smiled, "If there is no way, nothing can be done, if the son thinks that it is not a way, and he takes advance and retreat as a technique, he will definitely be 'no blame'." ”

Ziying was silent, thought for a long time, and gradually calmed down.

"The monarch who didn't understand it in the first place..."Ziying asked.

"Although the negative hexagram is a repetition of the Thai hexagram, it is easy to change from Tai, only need to 'restore the city to the god', otherwise if it becomes Tai, it will be gradual." The old man is colorful.

"Ben Gongzi knows, thank you sir."

Ziying was about to take out more money from his arms, but the old man got up and stopped him.

"Childe can't." The old man said hurriedly, "The old man saw that the son looked at each other consciously, this hexagram should have been given to the son, and no more money should be collected." ”

"Dare to ask Mr. his name and surname, he will be rewarded in the future!" Ziying said seriously.

The old man was stunned, "Old man... Negative surname. ”

"Fu?"

Ziying thought about it, and the Shang Dynasty monarch Wuding's minister named Fu said that he was the ancestor of the surname Fu in later generations. After being a minister of the Shang Dynasty, Ziying felt very close to the old man for a while.

"The old men I have seen recently have all caused displeasure in my heart. Mr. is the first to make the next person happy. Ziying smiled.

"Hahaha... The same is true for the old man. The old man smiled and said, "The son should have a big deal on him, so the old man won't talk to the son for a long time, the big thing is important." ”

"Thank you!"

Ziying had a plan, no longer stayed, looked for other inns with his eyes, and went straight away.

Half a day after the baby left, the old man was still squatting in front of the gossip and yarrow, "Like, too similar... It's all blood. ”

The sound of footsteps spread, and a middle-aged man slowly walked behind the old man, but he did not salute because of the large number of people around.

"Your Majesty, can great things be done?"

"Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on Ziying's actions, this time it can be regarded as helping him and helping the king." The old man sighed quietly.

The middle-aged man quietly helped the old man clean up the stall, and smiled and thanked everyone, "Don't forget today, let's come back another day." ”

Others felt bored and scattered.

The two of them went one after the other, and returned to their residence.

The middle-aged man was uneasy, "Does the king think Ziying can convince Wu Rui?" Besides, Ziying came for Qin's affairs, and at this moment, he should not know about Mei Kai, the Lu family and others competing for Hengshan and the land of Jiujiang. It doesn't seem to help. ”

"The Lu family and Ziying have a deep grudge, as long as they can meet in front of Wu Rui, the Lu family's affairs will not be successful." The old man said firmly, "As for that Mei Hong, even if he gets the land of Wu Rui, it is difficult to get the prestige of Wu Rui, not to mention that after a husband and a hook, it is not difficult for this king to make some movement among the Yue people." ”

Lao Tzu was not worried, and the words changed, "How is Qi Di at the moment?" ”

Tian Heng set up Tian Rong's son as the king, because Xiang Zhuang was there, Xiang Yu did not have the heart to cut again. The land of Jibei is cheap. The middle-aged man replied.

"Hehe... If Xiang Zhuang is here, he will not cut down, and Xiang Zhuang was persuaded by the old man to be the king of Qi in secret. The old man laughed.

"This is the king's ploy?!" The middle-aged man was shocked, "He is Xiang Yu's relative, so wouldn't he be in Qidi..."

"Don't panic, people who want to be kings for the sake of women are not to be afraid. Qi people's hearts are towards the Tian family, if he is in turmoil, it is the time when this king will take it in one fell swoop! ”

"But... With Xiang Yu's strength, he will never sit idly by. The middle-aged man frowned.

"Xiang Yu? This is the reason why this king is helping his children today, so he will hand them over to his children to fight..."

......

The sky is dark, and the moon and stars are scarce.

Snow falls on the north side of a mountain, and flowers bloom on the south side. A large canyon stretches across the mountain.

The man who was not very burly, but not angry, stood on the canyon, his eyes blank and his face full of sorrow.

A handsome woman quietly draped a cloak of animal skin over her body.

"Your Majesty, it's not early, Yingbudang doesn't dare to return to Jiujiang, let's return to the city early." The woman persuaded.

The man stretched out his hand and pointed to the hillside, "Madam, is this hillside view the princess's life?" In the past, flowers were still blooming everywhere, and I don't know where to start, a barren and dead silence. ”

"The king mourns, take care of your body..."The woman couldn't bear to say in her heart.

The man was full of sorrow, pulling his cloak tightly, "Alas... Why did this king oppose Qin back then! Why did you marry your daughter to Yingbu?!! If you don't oppose Qin, you just need to sit in an official position, and your daughter won't die! Yingbu is clearly a thief, where did this king take a fancy to him back then?! ”

The roar echoed in the valley, and Mao Ping was afraid that something would happen to Wu Rui, so he hurriedly pulled Wu Rui back.

"Your Majesty, Mei Kai and the Lu clan have been waiting in the city for a long time, it's time to go and see them."

"Heh... Everyone knows that the widow does not want to be king anymore, and is in a hurry to divide the land. Wu Rui smiled bitterly, "Just let them wait, they can afford to wait." ”

Mao Ping knew that Wu Rui was sad and couldn't bear to persuade again.

Behind the two of them, a soldier from Hengshan suddenly squeezed in.

"Your Majesty, something has happened in the Six Cities! The soldiers of the Taihou were killed in the inn, and I don't know who did it. Hengshan soldiers knelt and said.

"The little things... Bagatelle. Wu Rui didn't care about it, "If there is nothing to do, just push it down." ”

"There is another thing, a foreigner enters the six cities and recites poems in the inn, which is all sad, but the sentence pattern is extremely strange." Heng Shanbing said.

"Desolation? Who still has the sorrow of this king? Wu Rui smiled bitterly.

"When he returned to the king, he said that it was made for the king's daughter, and the words he recited caused many people in the city to weep." Hengshan Bing held a bamboo slip in his hand and handed it over, "This is what others have copied." ”

Wu Rui didn't know, so Mao Ping took it over.

Mao Ping looked at it for a long time, first frowned, and her face gradually darkened, as if she was about to cry.

"What verse is it?" Wu Rui asked.

Mao Ping only felt that her throat was sour, and she couldn't speak, so she opened the bamboo slip to show Wu Rui.

Wu Rui looked sideways, "When is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past?" Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country can't afford to look back at the moonlight... The old country is unbearable..."

Wu Rui read in a whisper, recalling the old days when her daughter was laughing and playing around her knees in Poyang, and her daughter's laughter was still lingering in her ears in a trance.

"The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed. How sad can you be? It's like a river of spring water... Flowing eastward. Wu Rui couldn't hold back at all, and tears burst into tears, "This king's daughter hasn't seen her for many years... I really don't know what it was like before I died, and if it was similar to when I left home three years ago? ”

"Your Majesty... Mourning...", Mao Ping persuaded.

The two hugged each other and cried bitterly for a long time, Wu Rui turned around and looked at Hengshan Bing with red eyes, and choked up, "Where is that person?" The widow wants him to do it! ”

"That man must still be at the inn." The Western Wei soldiers replied, "The minister ordered him to come here." ”

"Forget it." Wu Rui shouted, "It's difficult to walk in the mountains here, let him come to the Jiujiang King Palace quickly, and this king should also go back." ”

"No!"

Two hours later, Wu Rui and Mao Ping returned to the outside of the palace in a five-horse carriage, and the men and women she saw along the way only knew that Yingbu was expelled, smiling, but they didn't know that it was because of the death of the prince and daughter of Hengshan that the situation was like this.

Wu Rui only felt very sad when she saw this, and when she entered the palace, she was fortunate to have Mao Ping and Mao Qiao to support her, so that she would not fall down.

Sitting on the throne, Wu Rui closed his eyes with his arms folded.

The footsteps of His Royal Highness came, Wu Rui opened his eyes and looked, and the people who had not seen him closed his eyes again.

"King Hengshan mourns." A young man with thin hair and embroidered plum blossoms on his clothes arched his hand.

"Thank you, Taihou." Wu Rui forcibly spoke.

"Ben Hou... Special to make the land of Bashu god bird clothes, in order to offer the princess of Hengshan. The young woman hid her face and wept, "The father of this kingdom is broken, the second brother is dead, and the eldest brother is seriously injured and cannot wake up, so I can know the grief in the heart of King Hengshan." ”

When Wu Rui heard this, her tears swept across her face again, and Mao Ping helped Wu Rui wipe her face while covering her face.

"The princess is dead... It is the fault of this king, and this king blames himself very much, and there is Mrs. Lao. In the end, Wu Rui couldn't cry.

Mei Kai sighed along, but when she heard Lu Pheasant's words, she was very disdainful in her heart.

When Qin was killed, Mei Bang was convenient for Liu Bang to make friends, but now Liu Bang can't see anyone alive or dead, Mei Hong guessed that the Lu family was going to make trouble in it.

"The death of Princess Hengshan is an unwarranted disaster, the seizure of power and the destruction of the Bashu Kingdom, Lu Ze's serious injury is also the ambition to follow Fan Zeng to defeat Qin, they all deserve it, how can they be compared with the princess?!" Mei Kai airway.

Lu Pheasant's expression froze for a moment, and then he returned to his sadness, "When the husband offended Ziying when he attacked Qin, he was killed by Ziying, and my brother followed Fan Zeng for revenge, why did Taihou think so much?" ”

After speaking, he pretended to be sad and sobbed loudly several times.

"Humph! You know for yourself what your Lu family has done! Mei Kai is extremely unaccustomed to Lu Pheasant's current appearance, "Yingbu killed Princess Hengshan in order to attack Linjiang, and King Hengshan was deceived so he cut down Linjiang together." At that time, Ziying was attacking Bashu, why could you still meddle in the Linjiang matter?! ”

"That's... was forced by Ziying to have to flee to Linjiang, and then found that the tomb of the king of Nanyang was in Linjiang, and took advantage of the situation to help the king of Linjiang quell the chaos, but unexpectedly the king of Linjiang died, so he temporarily took care of Linjiang, thinking that he would return the son of Gongwei one day, but he was captured by Ziying after the captain..."Lu Pheasant sobbed.

At this moment, although Xiangyang is already in the hands of Nanjun, there will be obstacles whether it goes north or goes east. Don't dare to move Hengshan in the east, and Nanyang Yingbu in the north is not easy.

When Lu Pheasant heard that Wu Rui wanted to abandon the king, he couldn't believe it, and rushed from Jiangling in person for several days.

"It's a good thing to say, do you really think that these deceitful words can fool King Hengshan? What laments the princess of Hengshan, but she is not greedy enough and wants to occupy the land of Hengshan! Mei Kai shouted, "The king of Hengshan is originally a Yue person, and the land of Hengshan is not coveted by you!" ”

"Shut up!" Wu Rui was upset when he heard this, "The land of Hengshan, whoever wants to take it is." If the two are not mourning the princess, they are just seeking land. One to Meiling, the other to Jiangling! ”

"Princess... Woo-" Lu Pheasant cried again, tears streaming down his face, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.

"Ben Hou not only mourns the princess, but also avenges the princess!" Mei Wei said indignantly, "The king of Hengshan has occupied six cities, and he is afraid that he will cut down Jiujiang again, which will cause the Chu State to complain, and Benhou is not afraid!" Ben Hou only needs to take the soldiers of Meiling and Hengshan to go to Nanyang to destroy Yingbu! If Xiang Yu dared to attack, Ben Hou would contact the southeast and oppose the person who claimed to be the overlord! ”

Although Mei Hong's words were reckless, Wu Rui Mao Ping knew her sincerity.

"The kindness of the Marquis of Tai, the king understands it." Mao Ping choked up and said, "What the king is afraid of is that the Chu State will not end, and the people will suffer if there is another dispute, otherwise... It won't stay here for long. ”

"What kind of person does he care about? Ben Hou has made up his mind! Mei Li said loudly.

"Mrs. Ben has long had this intention, Nanyang is adjacent to Nanjun, Mrs. Ben can contact the Hengshan soldiers, and the soldiers will go out to the east and south, and they will definitely go to Yingbu to die!" Lu Pheasant wiped his tears and said urgently.

"Madame's heart has been traumatized, and she can still plan for this king, thank you..."Wu Rui said gratefully.

Ziying was outside the hall and could hear the voices of several people clearly.

I can't help but sigh that Wu Rui is too kind-hearted, and even believes Lu Pheasant's lies that are so easy to break.

"The person the king wants to see most tonight is Gongzi, why hasn't he entered the palace yet?" The Hengshan guard outside the palace reminded.

"This..."Ziying was about to step forward, but because of Lu Pheasant, he tore off a piece of black cloth and covered his face, "Go here." ”
