After dark, the center of the Wu Palace shifted to the living area, that is, the harem, while the front work area, that is, the court hall where the proceedings were held, was silent.

Some of the attendants on duty lit some lights that should have been turned on according to the regulations, and no one was active in other places.

Tonight was a little different. After dark, dozens of soldiers quietly drove outside the palace gate and stopped there. A waiter on duty stepped forward to ask, and then quietly retreated, without squeaking.

About the second watch, three people came out of the palace. The soldiers immediately gathered around the three men. Everyone didn't make a sound, and walked along the street in the direction of the Lu Cemetery.

These three people are Wu Wangfucha, Xiangguo Wu Zixu and Dazai Boyao. A few days ago, the three of them had agreed to personally go to reconnoiter at night, what King Yue was doing at night, what to say, and see if they could find clues about King Yue's fraudulent surrender.

This is a bit disgraceful, but the situation obtained is real.

Sima Zhe entered the palace at the specified time to report the situation of King Yue, and this guy never reported that King Yue had an abnormal situation. In fact, the place has been quiet and quiet, and nothing has ever happened.

Of course, the idea of coming to spy on King Yue's situation would not have come up with Bo Yao, he had accepted many gifts from Fan Li, and had also helped King Yue at many important junctures.

This decision was made by King Wu. He listened to Bo Ya's words, and also thought that King Yue had been completely obedient, and King Yue was already a harmless existence.

He and Bo Yao not only have a relationship between monarchs and ministers, but also seem to have a little friendship, because in addition to talking about work and state affairs, they sometimes chat a few words. Some very cheesy topics. This made King Wu feel very precious.

But Wu Zixu did not agree, he has been making trouble in front of King Wu, he does not believe that King Yue is sincerely obedient, he said that King Yue is a fraud, and keeping King Yue will be a scourge sooner or later, and even threaten the survival of Wu.

In King Wu's opinion, this is inevitably a bit of a rumor, and it is compared to King Yue's deception, so what? Now that the Yue Wang is in the Wu Kingdom, Fan Li is also in the Wu Kingdom, and the Yue Kingdom has no soldiers, why should they threaten the survival of the Wu Kingdom?

But Wu Zixu was kind-hearted and worried about the future of Wu Guo. Although King Wu annoyed him, he was not good at turning his face to him. What Wu Zixu has not been able to let King Wu feel relieved of is that he privately sent Yue Xianghou Yayu to the envoy of the Jin State. Didn't he know that the two countries were at war and that the captives were at the disposal of the king? What's more, she's a queen, and she's so beautiful. Wu Zixu did this, and did not give King Wu any face, no wonder King Wu was angry. This shows that Wu Zixu is not considerate.

King Yue couldn't forget this incident in his heart, and he felt disgusting when he thought about it. It was natural for him to resent Wu Zixu in his heart.

But you can't kill Wu Zixu because of this, after all, Wu Zixu is so loyal and has an irreplaceable role in Wu State.

Wu Zixu said a lot in front of King Wu, although King Wu didn't believe it, he also wanted to know the true thoughts of King Yue, so he came up with a whim and came up with an idea that three people came to snoop.

Wu Zixu listened to King Wu's idea and felt unreliable. The three of them are the top three members of the Wu Kingdom, and if they do such indiscriminate things, they will be ridiculed by the people of the world. But what the king decides, he can't say anything. And this is indeed a good way to see the true face of King Yue.

After a few days of arresting the Assassin, the Assassin was not caught, and the matter was delayed. It's not uncommon to have Assassins. In that year, Wu Zixu bribed the great filial son Zhuan Zhu and assassinated Wu Wangyi. He Lu only ascended to the throne. avenged Wu Zixu.

But King Wu did not forget this and started to act today.

The cemetery is not far away, less than a mile from the edge of the palace. Sima Zhe is leading his subordinates on duty, and the soldiers of this squad are the overseers of King Yue and his protection.

Seeing a group of people coming from the direction of the palace, Sima Zhe led people to meet him and asked who it was?

The other party came over, Sima Zhe recognized the leader of the forbidden army in the palace, and the salute was finished, and the leader said, "Call all your people over." ”

More than a dozen of Sima Zhe's men quickly gathered, and the leader said, "Take your people two hundred steps away, and don't move." ”

Sima Zhe didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't ask, so he had to carry it out unconditionally. Took people and left

Twenty or thirty people of the forbidden army quickly dispersed and hid themselves in various parts of the cemetery. They are not only responsible for security, but also to ensure that the three Wu Wang are not disturbed and complete the snooping quietly.

King Wu and Wu Zixu Boyao both changed their night clothes, and the color blended with the night, and they couldn't be found at a close distance.

With a wave of his hand, the three of them entered the gate silently, along the root of the wall, under the cover of the shadow of the house. Came to the opposite side of the residence of the king of Yue and laid an ambush.

There are lights in King Yue's house, and there are lights in Fan Li's house next door. I could hear the sound of grunting in the Yue Wang's house, but the voice was too small to hear what was being said.

After a while, Fan Li's door opened, and a light poured out. Fan Li walked out and came to the next door and knocked on the door. The door opened, Fan Li walked in, and the door closed again. There was a sound of speech coming from the room, and it was also difficult to hear what was being said.

After a while, the door opened, Fan Li walked out, and in the light, he saw Fan Li holding a basket in his hand. I heard Fan Li say: "King, queen, please." ”

The king and queen of Yue also came out. Fan Li led the way in front, and King Yue and Yayu followed behind, walking in the direction of the tomb of the first king.

What are they doing here? King Wu made a gesture, and the three of them followed quietly, not far away.

The three kings of Yue came all the way to the foot of the tall mound in Helu and stood down in front of the sacrificial earthen platform. I saw Fan Li take out a few offerings from the basket and place them on the earthen platform. And he took out of the basket the offerings, incense, candles, paper, horses, and so on. Then he took out the fire medium and blew it, and the fire medium ignited a faint flame. Fan Li lit the offerings of the cloth.

The fire is bright. King Yue picked up a stick of incense and lit it, worshiped to the sky, and said loudly: "The sky is above, the minister Goujian sincerely begs God to bless Wu Guo Yue with good wind and rain, abundant grains, bless King Wu with longevity and health, and enjoy the good life." ”

Then he knelt down in front of the tomb of Helu and began to cry, crying while saying: "Your Majesty, the ministers regret that they should not have fought with the Wu army in the first place, so that the first king was killed, may the spirit of the first king in heaven forgive the mistakes of the ministers." The minister will reflect on himself. If one day, the minister can return to the Yue Kingdom, he will definitely educate the people, make friends with the Wu State for generations, and never be an enemy or fight. The minister Goujian kowtowed to the first king! ”

Fan Li and Yayu both knelt down and kowtowed respectfully. Fan Li pulled up King Yue and Queen Yue and said, "King, we will always return to King Wu's heart, and heaven and earth can learn from it." Let's go back. ”

The three of them bowed to the mausoleum again, and then slowly walked back to the dormitory. There was not much time, King Yue's lights went out, and Fan Li's lights were also extinguished.

King Wu sighed: "It's over, let's go too." ”

Before the words fell, suddenly a black figure fell on the ridge of the roof, and the cold light of the sword flashed, and it stabbed at King Wu!
