CHAPTER XVII

Pearls woke up, and she didn't know how long she had been asleep. She rolled over, felt strength in her body, and breathed freely.

The big house was so quiet that there was no sound. She knew that no one would dare to disturb her, so she closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth and peace.

In the haze, everything that happened flashed out.

"I will not defile your Sacred Heart! I don't want to be a saint either! I want to find my loved ones, I want revenge! ”

In the open field, the shouts of pearls echoed.

A horse galloped, shouts echoing.

On the crowded street, Zhu'er was asking. "Does Wu Qixiang have descendants?"

The old man shook his head, the soldier shook his head, and the minister shook his head.

In the royal court, Zhu'er knelt there, and the king of Chu was talking. "Not long after Wu Qi Xiangguo came to power, his father returned to heaven. The injured magnates seized the opportunity to counterattack, and they staged a coup d'Γ©tat against General Wu Qi, gathering forces to storm Wu Qi. Wu Qi was defenseless, so he fled in all directions. In the end, he had no choice but to hide in his father's mortuary and lie down on his father's corpse. He thought that his father could be his shield for life. But the men were already red-eyed, and they didn't care about anything, and kept shooting arrows at him. Poor Wu Qi Xiangguo was shot into a hornet's nest, and the poor thing is that his father also died uncomfortably, and his body became a target for arrows. ”

The king of Chu stood up and spoke very loudly.

"When my father's burial ceases and I ascend the throne, I will have the prime minister arrest and execute all those who shot your father. There are more than 70 magnates who have been exterminated by this king, which has realized your father's idea of attributing power to the royal court, and has also given Chu a rich foundation! ”

The high-pitched voice of the edict was heard in the royal court. "Feng Wuzhu is a recruiting envoy and gives the princess a residence!"

Pearl's voice echoed through the royal court. "Guiguzi, he is virtuous and talented, and he will be able to unify the world!"

"Hahaha... The world is unified! "The laughter of the king of Chu and his ministers." Hurry up and ask Guiguzi! ”

Pearls rolled over and stared blankly at the door.

Yahuan cautiously bent over. "Recruit envoys, please attach!"

"Ben is hungry!"

"The meal has already been prepared, please recruit talents to use the rice!"

After Yahuan finished speaking, the bow led in front.

Pearls walked into the dining room and sat down.

Two waiters quickly brought a dozen porcelain bowls filled with steaming dishes.

Yahuan picked up the porcelain vase and carefully filled it with wine, then stepped back and stood.

Zhu'er glanced at the dishes, there were meat, vegetables, fish, and eggs.

Pearl wasn't used to it at first, but when she learned that nobles and ministers were like this, she felt at ease. No longer blame yourself for extravagance and waste, and no longer worry about supporting these domestic slaves.

Looking at the table full of dishes, she put down the wine. She thought of Brother Guigu and his mother, and the land, everyone had never eaten such a meal a few times in more than 20 years, let alone lived in such a spacious and warm house.

She thought of the snowflies that had roared, the cold world; Frozen red about the hands, trembling body. She cried in her heart: "Mother, Brother Guigu, this is our new home, this is my new house with Brother Guigu." ”

"Call the butler!" She remembered something.

"No!" Yahuan bowed and walked out.

In a moment, the butler ran in and stood at the door, waiting to be shared.

"When will the people who went to Wei come back?"

"Back to recruit virtuous envoys, the old slaves are all familiar with the road, there is no mistake, and I will definitely be able to come back today and tomorrow."

"Okay, prepare more fruits, meat and eggs and other delicacies, so that you can entertain guests!"

"No!" The butler exited the dining room.

After Pearl's meal, she walked into the courtyard. A few towering ancient acacia trees shade the sun and avoid the sky, flowers and plants and viewing pavilions are under the shade, and the small courtyard is quiet and cool.

Pearls walked slowly along the path of the courtyard, her mind churning about everything that had happened. Looking at the meticulously carved house and the warm yard, she seemed to see her father.

He fought on the battlefield, slashed in the forest of swords and spears, and argued with the nobles in the royal court. In the end, he was riddled with arrows, and his eyes glared at the sky!

Zhu'er walked to the weapon rack, drew her long sword, and danced around the courtyard.

She originally wanted to use this sword to kill those nobles, but the King of Chu had already done it for her, and she really didn't know whether to be grateful to him or hate him, leaving herself with infinite emptiness and silence.

The shadow of the sword flickered, and the figure fluttered. The hair is beautiful, and the shadow is charming.

Guigu stood at the door, watching excitedly. He turned to look at Gongsun Ying and Princess Wenxiu beside him, and they would also smile heartily.

No one wants to make a noise to alarm her, so they admire Zhu'er's figure.

Since the day of the pearl disappeared, everyone was very anxious. Especially Guiguzi, he was worried that Zhu'er would do something else on impulse. With her little martial arts, she can't resist the siege of everyone.

Bird Slippery mobilized all the disciples and searched Wei Du and the surrounding area, but he didn't see Zhu'er's comprehensive image.

Helplessly, Guigu couldn't go far, he could only stay there. He believed that Zhu'er would definitely feel his anxiety and would be back in a few days.

After the debate that day, someone from the royal court announced that the king of Wei wanted him to speak in front of the court, and he knew that it was the princess who did it. He approached Princess Wenxiu, who was about to leave, and said: "People in the mountains and wilderness, they are used to wandering and scattering, there is no need for official positions and brocade clothes, the princess is kind, and Guigu has appreciated it!" Guiguzi's tone was flat.

But Princess Wenxiu was excited. "This princess is terrible, others say that I don't repay my kindness, so Wenxiu told her father the details of the abduction of the Chu people. I thought you were a samurai, but today you are still a wise man, with such profound thoughts, it seems that I really want to praise you again. ”

King Wei's dictation, others think that the great sage of Guiguzi is appreciated by King Wei, and he must be an official and a knight. Therefore, overnight, the news of Guigu's refutation of the public family spread all over the Wei capital, and the spies of the princes also reported back the information from Pegasus.

Only Guigu and Mo Zhai knew that this was nothing more than a warrior scene of King Wei breaking the grace of a warrior to save his precious daughter.

The next day, Guigu was taken to the harem of the royal court to meet the King of Wei, and everywhere he saw was luxurious. There are many samurai, the armor is distinct, the rare mountains and stones, the jewels, the officials and women are charming, shuttling back and forth.

He looked at the King of Wei and the princess beside him, and then looked at the dancing girls singing in front of the hall, and his heart was different. The hungry crowds, the scarred soldiers, and the dying soldiers they saw all shouted the king's kindness and charged into battle. Where is it known that their kings take their plunder, and sing night and night, and revel day and day.

"Ghost Valley!" The King of Wei is condescending, and he looks like a majestic son of heaven. "This king heard the princess say, you are not only superb in martial arts, but also able to argue with a hundred schools, this king has always cherished talents, first reward you with a royal court attendant, how about it?"

He had expected that the poor samurai would kneel down and give thanks, but the oni did not move.

The princess next to King Wei hinted to him.

Guigu ignored it. "The king loves the grass people, the people of the mountains and wilderness of Guiguzi, they are used to wandering and scattering, they don't need official positions and brocade clothes, they are only in the experience, looking for the art of killing soldiers in the world."

"Oh!" King Wei straightened up and looked at the Ghost Valley again. "You're looking for a way to kill soldiers! What can you do? This king recruits wise men and rewards military generals who can't surrender to the candidates, but you are a man in the mountains and wilderness, threatening to make soldiers, are you also like a hundred gossip people, asking for a false name! ”

"The world is unified, accommodating hundreds of schools, living and working in peace and contentment, and the way of heaven dictates it. Those who submit to the candidates will be virtuous and virtuous, the virtue of Yao Shun, and not the power and poverty. ”

King Wei's face was furious. "According to you, who can rule the princes?"

"All kings can be unified, and none of them can be unified!"

"What a reason!"

"The kings who go first in the way of heaven, the history itself, the thought of the common people, is a unified person. On the contrary, it will be covered by the surging river and the long river of history! ”

"The ministers of this king, the guests of the ministers, and the sages of all the candidates, there are no less than a hundred people who say this. The alliance leader of the Great Wei Lie, it must be this king who does the way of heaven and unifies the princes, and there are countless non-kings, time and time, can you still see this king's unrighteous actions? ”

"Although the king is the leader of the alliance, he can be in a high position and be targeted by everyone. Whether the waiters can be convinced or not, the king knows for himself. As for the unrighteous deeds, there are them. When the west refused to force Qin, there was no harmony approaching, but he raised troops to attack Zhao, just to get a small place to belong to the false name, and he was really afraid. If there is another country to send troops, will it not resist the enemy on three sides, how can it protect itself, how can there be a way? ”

Guigu saw that King Wei was arrogant, and he just pointed to himself.

"In your opinion, shouldn't you cut down Zhao?"

"Not only should we not cut down, but we should also make peace to contain Qin. Zhao Ben is a country with simple folk customs, and the people and horses are not as good as the Wei State. ”

When Wei heard this, he smiled and waved his hand to quit the song and dance. "It seems that what the princess said is not true, Mr. Guigu is indeed a virtuous talent. Shouldn't the gentleman be given by this king, is it too small for an official position? ”

"The Ghost Valley really needs to be trained again, not to mention the King of Words, don't you have to take Fenglu to do it?"

Guigu resigned from the items given by King Wei and still left the palace in cloth.

Princess Wenxiu chased after the small courtyard and admired it even more, she told Guiguzi that the Prince Qi she married was more than half a hundred years old. "Mr. Guigu, can you find a way to persuade the king to cancel this move!"

Guigu and Gongsun Ying discussed for a long time, but there was no better way, so he could only tell her: "The king's selfish desires are driven, and those who are greedy are nothing more than fish and meat, and they can only be slaughtered by others!" ”

The princess was gone.

On this day, Guigu Orthodox Gongsun Martingale "rigid and soft galloping" and "seeing micro-knowledge" techniques, a fast horse galloped to the door.

The person on the horse was none other than Zhu'er's family, and he held Zhu'er's clothes and accessories to tell the details of Guigu.

Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and finally put their minds at ease.

Guigu packed his bags and prepared to go.

Gongsun Ying decided to follow him to practice, and rode his horse to bid farewell to Li Kui and go back to his uncle's mansion to pack his luggage.

Mo Zhai, the bird slippery was reluctantly sent outside the city, and he promised to meet again one day.

Guigu and Gongsun Martingale were about to set off under the guidance of Jiading, but they saw a flying dust coming from behind. When I got closer, it was Princess Wenxiu, who was also carrying luggage.

Guiguzi was hesitating about this, and he understood when he saw Gongsun Ying's demeanor.

I had no choice but to take the princess who ran away from marriage and went straight to Chudu.

Zhu'er was still wielding her long sword until she was a little tired, and she wanted to let the fatigue relieve the longing in her heart.

She collected her sword and swept towards the door unintentionally, stunned!

The three of them stood inside the door smiling.

After a little hesitation, she ran to Guiguzi excitedly, and at the moment when she was about to get closer, she saw the surprised gaze of Wen Xiu beside her.

The gaze was like a bolt of lightning, and she stopped.
