Chapter 4: Striving for World Domination (7)

Seventh, look forward to the king's return

After a while, Xiangbao woke up slowly, and after all the three souls and seven spirits returned to their places, she suddenly remembered what happened last night, and opened her eyes wide to look around, and it was actually in the carriage.

She hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car, and looked at the one-armed man in red sitting in front of the car, who was Wei Qin?

"Weiqin, where are we?" Xiangbao asked anxiously.

"Here, it should be Qi Guo." Wei Qin turned her head and smiled at Xiangbao, "Are you awake?" ”

"Qi Guo?" Xiangbao was dumbfounded, so far away?

"Hmm."

"I was still ...... last night," Xiangbao slammed down, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"Half a month." Wei Qin raised his horsewhip with a slight smile.

Xiangbao is so angry that she grinds her teeth, that damn bastard is bad! shamelessly used a beautiful man's trick on her!

Obviously, Xiangbao is even more angry that his beauty plan failed.

"Sister, where are we staying?" Wei Qin asked.

"I want to go back."

Wei Qin grabbed the reins of the horse and looked back at Xiangbao: "I can't go back, as soon as we left the city, the Vietnamese army surrounded Gusu City." ”

Xiangbao froze.

"Let's find a place to stay first, and then find a way to find out the news."

Xiangbao could only nod.

Eight months later, the Vietnamese army could not stop attacking the city of Gusu for a long time and withdrew.

When he heard the news, Xiangbao was eating breakfast on the streets of Qi Kingdom.

"Sister, do you want to go back?" Wei Qin paid and asked.

Xiangbao wiped his oily mouth, and beckoned for a meatloaf: "Don't go back, let him be lonely and lonely to death!" Widowed, let him be a loner! ”

Hum!

Wei Qin smiled helplessly.

"He's got something for you."

"What's that?" Xiangbao took a bite of the meatloaf curiously, "Why didn't you give it to me at first?" ”

"He said that if the Vietnamese army withdraws and you don't want to go back, I'll show you."

Xiangbao snorted: "Don't go back, show me what it is." ”

"In the carriage." Wei Qin stood up.

Xiangbao followed Wei Qin and ran back to the carriage. Wei Qin lifted the carriage seat, and there was a secret compartment under the carriage, and a large wooden box was placed in the secret compartment.

"What is it? It's so mysterious. ”

"It's your favorite thing, he said."

Xiangbao curiously climbed into the carriage, raised his hand to open the box, and then was stunned for a moment, his nose a little sore.

The box was stuffed with jewelry, a whole box.

Snorted hard, Xiangbao shook his head, and laughed wildly: "Wowhaha, Lao Tzu is rich!" ”

Wei Qin has a black line.

"Weiqin."

"Huh?"

"We ...... Let's open a cabaret shop. ”

Wei Qin was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Okay." ”

Miss Xiangbao took aim at the fragrance shop on East Street.

"Guest officer, please come in ......" When the smiling boss saw Xiangbao, he was stunned for a moment, "Is this girl looking for something to do?" Our Fragrance Shop ......" She immediately smiled brighter after seeing Xiangbao's face clearly, as if she had seen a cash cow, and she couldn't even see her eyes.

Wei Qin made a cold face, and stood in front of Xiangbao like a door god, and the boss immediately sobered up, hurriedly retreated to the side, and did not dare to speak again.

Xiangbao touched his face and stepped forward: "What do you call it?" ”

"Oh, just call me Aunt Luo." Aunt Luo smiled very enthusiastically.

"Aunt Luo, do you see if I'm old?" Xiangbao remembered that her husband thought she was old, so she was so angry that she grinded her teeth.

"How can it, look at the girl's face, this figure, if we take the stage in Piaoxiangfang, it will definitely be ......"

"Ahem!" Wei Qin cleared her throat.

Aunt Luo was busy silencing.

Miss Xiangbao was proud, it turned out that she still had a market.

"Aunt Luo, is this Piaoxiang Fang for sale?" Xiangbao set is almost the way.

Aunt Luo was stunned, and then pulled down her face: "Does the girl want to smash the field?" As soon as she said this, as if to confirm the power of her words, several big men immediately walked out of the door.

Xiangbao was taken aback, Wei Qin protected Xiangbao behind him, pursed his lips, opened his mouth to bite the scabbard, and pulled out the sword.

When the big man, who was still very arrogant just now, saw the sword in Wei Qin's hand, he couldn't help but shudder, and his arrogant arrogance disappeared immediately, and even his legs and stomach trembled. Look at the sword body that shines with a strange red, how much blood does that sword drink......

"Oh, don't...... Harmony makes money, harmony makes money, we are not here to make trouble......" Xiangbao poked his head out from behind Wei Qin with an innocent face.

"And what are you here for?" Seeing that the guests were scared away, Aunt Luo was so angry that she stomped her feet.

"Buy your Fragrance Workshop." Xiangbao grinned.

Aunt Luo looked at Xiangbao stupidly, not understanding how she could provoke such two evil stars when she opened the door to do business well.

"It's okay to sell, can you afford it? My fragrance workshop is one of the best singing and dancing workshops in the capital of Qi Kingdom! Aunt Luo rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.

Xiang Baole: "Lao Tzu has nothing, he is rich!" ”

Aunt Luo pouted, a beautiful girl's house, the exit is "Lao Tzu Lao Tzu", isn't it stimulated by something and turned crazy?

Aunt Luo guessed well, Miss Xiangbao was a little stimulated, but in view of her strong ability to resist blows, she was not crazy. I saw her bow her head and dig out of her sleeve, and pull out a small bead that looked valuable.

Xiangbao shook the beads in her hand, and Aunt Luo's eyes straightened.

"Bi Luo Zhu?" Aunt Luo muttered.

Xiangbao thought about it, she hadn't heard of this name, but judging by her appearance, this bead should be quite famous.

"Girls, come on, meet your new master!" Aunt Luo smiled and pulled Xiangbao, the rich man, into the fragrance workshop.

Money, it's really a good thing.

The next day, Aunt Luo took her belongings and left with the Biluo bead.

On a bright spring day, Xiangbao became the new owner of Piaoxiangfang.

"My name is Xiangbao, and the girls just call me Aunt Xiang!" Shaking the fan in his hand decently, Xiangbao swaggered around, and a group of girls in thin clothes and light shirts were listening to the "instructions" with their heads down.

Wei Qin was also forced by Xiangbao to stand obediently, looking at Xiangbao's appearance, with a strange face.

"This Piaoxiangfang has committed the taboo of my Aunt Xiang, and the name must be changed!" Shaking the fan, Xiang Bao continued matter-of-factly.

"Aunt Xiang...... What should be changed? Below, a girl asked softly.

"Change...... Change ......" Xiangbao stammered a few times, "just call Pan Jun to return!" ”

Wei Qin was slightly stunned and looked up at Xiangbao.

Money can make ghosts grind, and in the afternoon, the three gilded characters of "Pan Jungui" were hung at the gate.

Sitting idly in the yard yawning, Xiangbao looked sideways at Wei Qin busy making swings for her. Because he is one-armed, it is not convenient for him to tie a rope, and he has to bite with his teeth.

Xiangbao stood up and stepped forward, reaching out to help him.

"Sister." He spoke suddenly.

"Huh?"

"If you have a next life, can you stop being my sister?"

His voice was soft, but he could hear it clearly because Xiangbao was so close to him.

Xiangbao was slightly stunned, pursed his lips, and then raised his head and glared at him fiercely: "Is it embarrassing to be my brother?" ”

"In this life, I am my sister's only relative, and I will guard my sister for the rest of my life, as a younger brother." He looked at her, "I'll accompany you to wait for that person in this 'Pan Jun Gui'." ”

His voice was slightly astringent.

"But...... In the next life, can I ...... Guarding you in another way? ”

Xiangbao looked at him, and his heart began to ache faintly.

Bowing his head to untie the tied rope, Xiangbao stood up, pressed Wei Qin's body that was a lot taller than her, and rewarded him with a burst: "I will only promise you when I do a good swing." ”

Wei Qin lowered his head, bit the end of the rope with his teeth, and tied the rope with some difficulty. Xiangbao's eyes were sour, and she turned away from him.

"Sister." Behind him, Wei Qin shouted.

Xiangbao looked back at him.

"I'm done." Under the sun, Wei Qin said with a smile.

Xiangbao was stunned and laughed.

In the spring of 473 B.C., heavy rain poured in, and the city wall of Wudu collapsed. In winter, the Vietnamese army took advantage of the gap to launch another strong attack, drove straight in, and entered the Wu capital. Wu Wangfu broke through to Gusu Mountain to the west of Wudu, and under the siege of the Vietnamese army, he carried his sword and killed himself.

It is said that before his death, Wu Wangfu used Luo Pa to cover his face, saying that there was no face to see Wu Zixu under Jiuquan.

The state of Wu is dead.

The Vietnamese soldiers entered the city of Gusu.

The winter snow was covered, Fan Li took a fur coat and went straight to the Wu Palace.

The Wu Palace was already in chaos, and the pampered palace concubines were panicked and fled in all directions. The Vietnamese soldiers were fearless in the Wu Palace. Fan Li saw a Vietnamese soldier from a distance and grabbed a gorgeously dressed woman, wanting to be rude, looking at the back from a distance, it looked very much like Xiangbao.

"Stop!" Startled into a cold sweat, Fan Li rushed forward.

Seeing that it was Fan Li, the Yue soldier stopped in a daze: "Doctor Fan, do you like her?" ”

Fan Li stepped forward to see that it was not Xiangbao, but the back was a little similar, and frowned: "If the order goes down, everyone must not be rude to the palace concubine." ”

Touching his nose, the Vietnamese soldier nodded boredly and responded.

Walking all the way, only Xiangbao was missing, Fan Li took the fur coat, more and more anxious, and the tip of his nose oozed sweat. Will she be scared if there is such chaos around her? It's so cold, she's afraid of the cold.

In the Moon Viewing Pavilion, Fan Li saw an acquaintance.

Zheng Dan sat quietly in front of the window alone, pinching a strand of black hair in her hand, as if she had become a statue, and all the chaos around her could not affect her.

The husband is dead, the arrogant emperor...... He died like that.

"Zheng Dan, have you seen Xiangbao?" Fan Li asked anxiously.

Zheng Dan slowly turned around: "Who is Xiangbao?" ”

"Shih Tzu." Fan Li frowned and changed his words.

Zheng Dan grinned, and actually laughed: "Oh, she's dead." ”

Fan Li was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

"Well, she's dead." Zheng Dan lowered his head and stroked the strand of black hair in his hand, and his eyes seemed to be looking at his lover.

Zheng Dan actually seemed to be crazy.

Fan Li shook his sleeves, turned around and walked out.

Looking at the back of Fan Li leaving in a hurry, Zheng Dan covered his mouth and smiled. Staggering to her feet, she touched the sword that hung by the wall, it was Fucha's sword, and she stole it like the strand of hair in her hand...... She also stole it.

It was when her husband was poisoned, and she secretly cut it out when her husband was asleep.

She lifted her hand and took the sword down, it was heavy, she held it in both hands and placed it on the table, then drew it out of its sheath and placed it across her neck.

Fan Li heard the sound behind him, turned back again, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Zheng Dan's appearance: "What are you doing?" ”

Zheng Dan glanced at him lightly, and as soon as his hand was forced, red blood splashed out. The sword fell heavily to the ground with a loud noise.

Fan Li strode forward and hugged her.

"The husband sent him...... Did you die like this? She asked.

"Why are you so stupid......" Fan Li frowned.

"Wu is dead, he is dead...... I've got nowhere to go......"

"You can go back to Vietnam."

"Huh...... Hehe...... Don't lie to me...... I've ruined the king's affairs three times and twice, and he wants to kill me early in the morning......"

Fan Li looked at the woman in his arms, and suddenly couldn't find anything to say.

"Believe it or not, I'm real...... Fall in love with a husband...... Poor ......"

I don't know why, Fan Li didn't want to answer this question. He frowned, looked down again for a long time, and saw that the woman in his arms had closed her eyes.

She still held a strand of black hair tightly in her hand, tied with a thin red rope, and looked very well preserved.

"I believe it."

He said.

But she couldn't hear it.

When he walked out of the Moon Pavilion, it began to snow again, and Fan Li searched every corner of the palace, but did not find Xiangbao.

"Have you ever seen Shih Tzu?" Pull a palace person, Fan Li asked.

The palace people trembled like frightened birds: "Mrs. Xi Shi? ”

Fan Li's face was almost surprised, and he nodded: "Yes, I'm looking for her, where is she?" ”

"Mrs. Shih Tzu...... She's dead......"

Fan Li took a step back, and his face suddenly turned cold: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

"She was put into a mob and sunk into the river." Seeing that Fan Li was angry, the palace people were about to cry, "It was announced by the king himself!" Say Mrs. Shih Tzu is dead! ”

Seeing Fan Li in a daze, the palace people ran away.

The big cockpit in his hand fell in the snow, without making a sound, Fan Li stood in place for a long time before he raised his legs and walked out of the palace.

When Wen Chong found Fan Li on the street, he almost didn't believe his eyes, he sat on the side of the street, his hair was disheveled, his white clothes were stained with dirt, and he was full of alcohol.

"Young uncle, young uncle!" Wen Chong helped him up, but he refused to get up like a puddle of mud, "Get up quickly, the king has set up a banquet to celebrate his achievements in Wentai, and he is looking for you." ”

Fan Li didn't move, Wen Chong was so angry that he grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his collar, and he didn't feel it.

Sighing, Wen Chong simply sat down beside him.

No one could have imagined that this drunkard sitting on the side of the street was Fan Li, a great hero of the Yue Kingdom. yes, who would have thought? Now that the Yue Kingdom is so powerful, how could he, as a great contributor to the restoration of the country and the destruction of Wu, be in high spirits, so how could he sit on the side of the street so sloppily?

This...... Is it still the white-clothed and elegant Dr. Fan?

"She's ...... Dead"

Wen Chong was stunned for a moment, looked sideways at him, and it turned out that he was not asleep: "Who died?" As soon as the words came out, he understood, who else could make Fan Li look like this?

"She's dead...... Fan Li muttered.

"I was the one who took her out of Liujun to get drunk...... I hurt her...... I hurt her......"

Leaning against the wall and staggering to his feet, Fan Li didn't know what he was talking about.

The king of Yue destroyed Wu, and Fan Li made great contributions and was named a general. When the whole country celebrated, Fan Li resigned to King Yue Goujian, and King Yue repeatedly retained, but Fan Li still left drunk. Before leaving, Fan Li left a letter for Wen Chong, with only twelve words: "The birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. ”

The mountains are empty, the water is rippling, a lonely boat, and a pot of bitter wine.

The snow fell silently.

"Boatman! Boatman! Someone on the other side of the river shouted, "There is an urgent matter down there, can you take it on the next trip?" ”

The man in the boat glanced to the shore and moved the boat closer.

"Thank you so much." Jumping on the boat, the man smiled and arched his fist, "I don't know what Brother Tai is called?" ”

"Oxids."

The person on the boat was slightly stunned, what kind of strange name is this? The compound surname is Yuanyi, and the name is Zipi? Look at the man holding the boat, with his back to him, his long hair scattered, and a very strange robe...... Perhaps, it can't be called a robe, it's just a rag.

"Owl ...... Isn't that what it means to be skinny? ”

The strange puffer did not answer.

Jiang Tian was colored, boundless, and only silence remained.

"Speaking of skins, do you know Shih Tzu?" The boatman looked for the topic, and didn't notice the slightly stiff back of the boatman, "I heard that after the death of Wu Guo, Fan Li took back Xi Shi, and the two of them went boating on the five lakes and went to ...... freely."

"Really?" The boatman smiled, "That's nice." ”

That's nice......

"What's so good? I have just come from the country of Wu, and I heard that Xi Shi was put into a bag by the angry Wu people and sank to the bottom of the river. The boatman shook his head, "What kind of boating on the five lakes is just wishful thinking of people in the world." ”

The boat shook suddenly, and the boat rider was startled and hurriedly stabilized: "What's wrong?" ”

The puffer didn't speak.

"Looking at the appearance of my brother's platform, it doesn't look like a ferryman, but I'm abrupt." The boat rider touched his nose and smiled a little shyly, "It's just that my wife was angry with me and went back to my parents' house, I was in a hurry to find her, that person...... Timid and afraid of the cold, I'm afraid she'll be scared if she's on the road alone. If there is another ferry ahead, you can drop me, brother. ”

"Where are you going?" The boatman spoke suddenly.

"Qi country."

"By the way."

"Ah, brother, are you going to Qi Country too? That's a coincidence. The rider rejoiced.

Everywhere you go, it's all the same, and the boat-bearers silently hold the boat.

"Is there a lady in the brother's family?"

The boatman was stunned, and then said in a low voice: "Well, there is an unmarried wife." ”

"Hehe, isn't Mrs. Zun also in Qi Country?"

The boatman did not reply, and the wind ruffled his long hair, revealing a thin face.

"Brother Tai...... You really look like a person. The boatman looked at it and said suddenly.

"Like whom?"

"Doctor of the Yue Kingdom, Fan Li."
