In the end, Fan Li personally led the army to surround Gusu City, but he did not rush to attack, but made a request.

"What does he want?" Fucha looked at Ji Lin who came to deliver the message with a gloomy face.

Ji Lin glanced at Yiguang next to him and said, "Fan Li declares that as long as the king hands over King Yue and Queen Niangniang, he will immediately retreat!" ”

"Wishful thinking!" Fucha was furious, forcefully brushed the bamboo slips on the table to the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "You go and tell him, just attack the city, this king would rather burn the jade and stones, and will never be threatened by him!" ”

Ji Lin didn't move for a long time, as if he had something to say, his hesitation made the husband more and more displeased, and said in a cold voice: "What are you doing in a daze, don't go quickly!" ”

"Yes." Ji Lin reluctantly left, after he left, the husband was still angry, and slammed the tea cup brought by Wang Shen to the ground, smashed to pieces, and his eyes were cold as if he wanted to devour people, "This king must cut Fan Li with a thousand knives!" ”

Coming out of the hall, Yiguang was illuminated by the blazing sunlight shining down directly and shook her slightly, Arnold hurriedly supported her, "Niangniang be careful. As she spoke, she added, "It's hot outside, so let the slave help you go back." ”

Yiguang shook his head slightly, "I want to go to the East Gate." ”

Arnold was stunned for a moment, then nodded knowingly, helped Yiguang to board the arranged carriage, and slowly drove towards the east city gate, the road was full of green trees, and everywhere was filled with the heart-rending cries of summer cicadas, which made people upset.

Ascending the city tower, Yiguang looked at the black and oppressive Vietnamese army under the city with a complicated expression, Fan Li took these soldiers very well, even in such a hot summer, they were still in a neat formation, not in a hurry or impatient, no wonder they were able to attack all the way to the city of Gusu.

At that time, Fan Li also saw Yiguang standing on the city tower, his heart was excited, and a thousand words came to his heart, but he was helpless to speak in front of so many people, so he could only tell Yiguang with his eyes that he had made all the preparations when he came this time, and he would definitely take her out of Wu and leave Fucha!

Yiguang Bingxue was smart, she understood Fan Li's eyes, and after a wordless sigh, she turned around and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly found that there was a person standing behind her-Fucha.

"Are you so eager to meet him?" Fucha's voice was sour and harsh, and his eyes were full of jealousy and anxiety.

"The king misunderstood, the concubine ......" Yiguang wanted to explain, but was interrupted by a sharp voice that was different from usual, "I know, you have not been able to let go of Fan Li in your heart, when Shicai Ji came to pass the word, you actually wanted to agree, but you didn't dare to say it in front of this king, and now you have quietly come to see Fan Li, don't forget, you are the queen of Wu Kingdom, the woman of this king, don't want to leave!" ”

Yiguang listened silently, and only after the husband finished speaking did he step forward and hold his cold and damp palm, his voice was as soft as spring water, "The concubine will never leave the king." ”

Fucha looked at Yiguang in a daze, and the anger surging in his eyebrows quickly receded, in fact, it was not so much anger as fear, fear of losing Yiguang, that was a weight he couldn't bear.

The husband said hesitantly: "You really won't leave?" ”

Yiguang chuckled, clenched his slightly trembling palm, and said softly: "From the moment he married the king, Yiguang is the king's person, the king will not give up, and Yiguang will not leave!" ”

Fucha's dry lips trembled slightly, and the next moment, he hugged Yiguang in his arms, as if he wanted to hug her into his bones.

For the husband who suffers from gains and losses, there is nothing more reassuring to him than the words "the king will not give up, and the light will not leave".

After several attempts, Fan Li stopped the siege, he seemed to be afraid of Yiguang and Gou Jian in the hands of Fucha, and did not dare to attack, and the two armies of Wu and Yue fell into a stalemate.

In the afternoon of this day, Yiguang came to the house to select the herbs, and the siege of Gusu City made the husband's liver fire vigorous, and his body that had just improved had problems again, and he was bedridden.

Yiguang was just about to pick up a branch of ginseng, and suddenly heard movement in the back room, strange, there is only one person in this room, where is the noise?

Yiguang walked to the back room while thinking, when she came in, she happened to see Fan Li coming out from behind a wall, shocked, and the next moment, she covered her lips tightly so as not to scream.

When she calmed down, she looked at the wall that had been pushed open in surprise, "This ...... What's going on? ”

Before Fan Li could speak, another person walked out, and it turned out to be a literary type.

Seeing him, Yiguang suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said in disgust: "You dare to appear!" ”

Wen Chong bowed to Yiguang with guilt on his face, "Wen Chong was confused for a while that day, and almost hurt his mother, and in retrospect, he really regretted it, so he came to make amends to his mother." ”

Yiguang stepped aside and said expressionlessly, "I can't afford it." ”

"Wen Chong knows that he is guilty, and he doesn't dare to ask for forgiveness from his mother, he only hopes that Niang Niang can focus on big things, and after the matter is completed, Wen Chong will let Niang Niang fall, whether it is killing or chopping, and there will be no complaints."

Although the words of the text are sincere, Yiguang still captures a trace of vague resentment from the bottom of his eyes, heh, it is really easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change.

Yiguang turned his face away in disgust and said to Fan Li: "How could Mr. be with him?" ”

Fan Li dusted off the dust on the ink-colored silk robe and said: "Yesterday, Wen Chong came to the army to find me, saying that there is a way not to alarm anyone to sneak into the Guanwa Palace. ”

"The two armies have been deadlocked for many days, looking at this situation, King Wu clearly does not plan to let you and the king go, the only way is to take the two of you away through the secret passage, so I and Brother Wen Chong ventured into Gusu overnight and came here to save you." Saying that, Fan Li said again: "Without further ado, you immediately go to the king and bring him here, so that you can leave quickly." ”

Leave......

These two words made Yiguang a little in a trance, she had promised her husband that she would never leave his side, but now......

Seeing that Yiguang didn't move, Fan Li frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I'll go to the king now, and the gentleman will wait here." Whether she leaves or stays, Gou Jian must be saved, they went to Wu with great difficulty, just to rescue Gou Jian, so that he can return to Yue safely, as for her business...... We'll talk about that later.

Yiguang Yiguang suppressed her complicated thoughts and walked away, but it didn't take long for her to come back again, and her posture was strangely tight, and she actually retreated step by step.

Fan Li was puzzled, and was about to speak, when a figure that should never have appeared here suddenly broke into his sight, causing his pupils to shrink, and his face instantly became extremely ugly; And Wen Chong's reaction was greater than Fan Li's, trembling all over, as if he had seen a ghost.

The person who came was none other than the husband, stepping in step by step under the frightened gaze of everyone, and the blazing golden sun was sprinkled vigorously behind him, setting him off like a god descending into the world!

"You...... How did you end up here? Wen Chong stammered and asked, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his steps subconsciously retreated.

Fucha grinned and showed his white teeth, and his eyes were full of disdain, "Do you really think that this king doesn't know the remaining two secret passages?" The reason why it is not blocked is that it is waiting for you to throw yourself into the net! ”

Hearing this, Wen Chong suddenly collapsed to the ground, it's over, it's really over now, he has done so many things before, and the husband will definitely not let him go.

The husband moved his gaze to Fan Li, and anger, appreciation, pity, and hatred all passed under his eyes one by one, and finally turned into a cold voice like ice, "Mr. Fan, we meet again." ”

Fan Li took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "King Wu has good means. ”

"It's just a small plan, how can it compare to Mr. Fan's good means, but just two or three years of hard work, I have turned my Wu Kingdom upside down, which really makes this king admire!" This sentence is like a series of ice beads, which are terrifyingly cold.

"It's a pity that I lost to King Wu this time."

"Sir has won so many times, it is time to lose." The husband covered his lips and coughed, and suddenly said, "This king wants to borrow something from Mr. ”

Fan Li was stunned for a moment, and then spread his hands and said: "There is nothing long in the lower body, I'm afraid there is nothing to lend to King Wu." ”

The cold light in the husband's eyes flickered, and after a while, he suddenly laughed, "In this way, Mr. is willing to borrow, okay." He smiled hideously, and said to Ji Lin behind him: "Don't go and take off Fan Li's head, so as to pay tribute to my father." ”

Yiguang was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "The king is angry. ”

The husband's eyes lit up, and then he said calmly: "The queen is tired, take her back to Changle Hall to rest." ”

Yiguang was about to speak, Fan Li suddenly said: "If King Wu kills Fan, I'm afraid that the people of the entire Gusu City will have to pay for it." ”

Fucha scoffed at his words, "When you die, you are still talking wildly, as soon as you die, the Vietnamese army will have no leader, and it is impossible to break into Gusu." ”

Fan Li said calmly: "Fan Mou expected that there would be danger before he came, so before he came, he had entrusted the military power to Fanlou, if he didn't see Fan come back within a day, he would order an all-out siege of the city, and then there would be a river of life, blood." ”

Fucha never expected him to keep such a hand, he was furious, and shouted: "You dare!"

Fan Li said indifferently: "Before going on the expedition, Fan made a military order in front of the people of the whole city, and he must welcome the king back, otherwise he will be executed by military law; 's life is out of the way, dare to ask King Wu, what else does Fan dare not do? ”

Fucha's face was gloomy as iron, he thought that he would catch a turtle in the urn this time and win steadily, but he didn't expect to be defeated by Fan Li's army again, which put him in a dilemma, this person is extremely cunning.

At that time, Fan Li's words continued, "If the king is willing to let us go, Fan can promise the king here that he will withdraw his troops immediately, and promise not to step into the Wu Kingdom for half a step within three years; After three years, you and I will see you again!"

Fan Li's words made Fucha slightly moved, what Wu Guo lacks most now is to recuperate, and it is really a big temptation to stop fighting for three years.

He said quietly, "What if this king does not agree? ”

"Then there is only the blade facing each other, whether the war is stopped or stopped, whether the people are suffering or happy, all in the thought of King Wu, and I hope that King Wu will think carefully and don't be rash."

Time passed silently, and the silence in the room was suffocating.

After a long time, after a violent cough, the husband made a decision, and he said, "This king can let go of Gou Jian." ”

When Fan Li heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Wu Wang Shen is the blessing of the people and the blessing of the world. ”

Fucha sneered: "You don't have to rush King Xie Ben, it's okay to let go of Goujian, but there is one condition." ”

Fan Li pressed the excitement in his heart and said, "King Wu, please speak." ”

"The king has been seriously ill lately, and the queen, though she has tried her best, has never seen any effect, and does not know whether she will be able to get better; The king heard that if the sick body is about to heal, its feces are bitter but not astringent, on the contrary, the sick body is heavy and difficult to treat. ”

Fan Li expected that the request made by the husband would not be simple, but he never imagined that it would be such a perverted request.

Taste dung - not to mention the king of a country, even ordinary people can't do it, it is clearly deliberately difficult and unwilling to let go of it.

Thinking of this, he said with a gloomy face: "It seems that King Wu really wants to ambush millions of corpses, and the blood is flowing like a river, since this is the case, Fan can only be accompanied!" ”

"There's no hurry." Fucha said indifferently: "Gou Jian is your king, and the person who tastes dung is also him, whether it should be or not, it should be decided by him." So saying, he commanded, "Go and bring Goujian, and besides, go and bring the clean bucket of the king." "The so-called clean bucket is a dung bucket, and the meaning of the husband is self-evident.

Ji Lin left as he said, and after a while, Gou Jian was brought up, his face was full of obvious panic and uneasiness, and his rough hands were cramped around the corners of his clothes, as if there was nowhere to put them; This kind of hook practice is really unimaginable, and it will be the king of a country.

After learning of his husband's intention to send him here, Gou Jian asked blankly but in surprise: "Can you get sick by tasting dung?" ”

"Yes, would you like to?" The husband's eyes are as dark as an abyss.

Gou Jian stood there silently, as if he was thinking, and after a while, he raised his somewhat wooden face and smiled honestly: "For many years, the king has been kind to me, and now the king has something, I should repay it with all my might." With that, he took the initiative to walk to the net bucket in the corner.

Fan Li clenched his hands tightly at his side, he knew that this was the humiliation of Gou Jian by his husband, but for the sake of the overall situation, whether he or Gou Jian, he could only endure and endure.

Wen Chong covered his nose in disgust, and he could faintly smell a smell through the lid, and he really didn't dare to imagine the picture of tasting feces with his mouth.

Gou Jian walked to the net bucket, with his back to his husband, he swept away the previous blank wood, the chill in his eyes surged, he took a deep breath, uncovered the net bucket, and suddenly an indescribable smell came to his face, which made people smell disgusting.

Gou Jian forcibly resisted the urge to vomit, lowered his head and leaned towards the golden thing in the bucket, and just as he was about to touch it, the voice of the husband suddenly came from behind him, "That's it." ”

Hearing this, Gou Jian was not overjoyed, but showed a vigilant look, Fucha is not a good man and a woman, and there must be a reason for the sudden stop.

Just thinking about it, the husband had already helped him up, and said with a smile: "It's rare that King Yue has such a grateful heart, this is just a taste of feces, and rest in this palace for a day, tomorrow morning, this king will send you out of the palace, I hope that you and I will never extinguish the war between the two countries, and there will be no more disputes." King Yue, what do you say? ”

Gou Jian nodded again and again, and said gratefully: "It's good for the king to say that it's good." ”

"Okay, then go wash and rest, the king of Ming Japan will personally send a few people out of the palace." After that, the husband patted Gou Jian's shoulder and left with Ji Lin and the others.

It wasn't until he returned to the main hall that the husband sank his face and retreated left and right, except for Wang Shen, only Ji Lin was left alone in the hall, "What do you think of what happened just now?" ”

Ji Lin said while thinking about it: "Yue Wang Mu Ne is stupid, but he still knows how to be grateful, and he is willing to taste dung for the king, which is also rare." After a pause, he said: "Now that Fan Li is threatening Gusu City, the last general thinks that he might as well let them go first and make plans slowly." ”

Fucha sneered, "It is precisely because Gou Jian is willing to taste dung that he must not be released." ”

Ji Lin was stunned, "The last general doesn't understand." ”

The husband did not answer, but said, "What would you do if you had changed what happened just now?" ”

Ji Lin thought for a moment and said: "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated, and the last general would rather die than taste the dung of the enemy." ”

"That's it." The husband said with a faint look: "Three years ago, this king broke through Huiji and captured Goujian, so that he was reduced from the king of a country to a prisoner overnight, suffering a lot, and anyone would have resentment, but Goujian didn't, and kept saying that he was grateful to this king and was willing to taste dung to repay; Ji Lin, don't you think it's strange? ”

Ji Lin listened carefully to his words, and said thoughtfully: "The king is saying that King Yue may not be as simple as it seems on the surface? ”

"Not perhaps, but definitely." The husband said categorically, and said in a cold voice: "This person can endure the humiliation of dung without changing his face, which shows the depth of the city, if he is allowed to return to Yueguo, I am afraid it will be even more terrible than Fan Li." As he spoke, he looked at Ji Lin and said, "Do you now know why this king wants to keep them for one night?" Go for it. ”

"Yes." Ji Lin received the order and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and said, "What should I do about the queen's side, she has always been a Yue person." ”

The husband didn't have any good ideas for a while, so he gritted his teeth and said: "I can't care about it so much, let's hide it first, and this king will explain to her slowly." ”

This time, Ji Lin did not hesitate, and left, but soon encountered trouble again, after Gou Jian was released from the stable, he had been staying in the Changle Hall with Fan Li and others, without the slightest intention of coming out, seeing that time was passing little by little, Ji Lin was anxious, thinking for a long time, he went in to ask for a meeting, originally thinking of finding an excuse to deceive Gou Jian and others, but he didn't know that the change was prominent, Wen Chong actually took a knife and held Yiguang hostage, the latter didn't expect him to be like this suddenly, showing a shocked face.

"You dare to hold the queen hostage, do you want to die? Put the knife down now! Ji Lin scolded violently, not making Wen Chong afraid, but sneering, "It's really a dead end to let her go, you came this time to kill us, right?" ”

Ji Lin was taken aback, and said uncomfortably: "Nonsense, how can there be such a thing." ”

Wen Chong snorted coldly: "You don't have to quibble, the king has already guessed that King Wu deliberately left me to wait for one night, and his intentions are not good, so he has been staying in the Changle Palace." ”

Ji Lin's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at Gou Jian, who was slowly drinking tea, "The king is right, you are really not as simple as you see on the surface." ”

Gou Jian put down the tea cup that was already a little cold, and said, "If you don't want your queen to die, get out of the way immediately." ”

It was a matter of Yiguang's life, Ji Lin didn't dare to make an assertion, and while letting people stare at them, he immediately rushed to report to his husband, who was shocked and angry when he learned about it, and immediately rushed over without caring about his physical discomfort.

Seeing the long knife around Yiguang's neck, Fucha's eyelids jumped, and his eyes were as sharp as arrows, "Let go of the queen!" ”

Wen Chong was panicked by his staring, but he was also a capable person, so he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "If you let us out of the city, we will release the queen!" ”

"Dreaming!" Fu Cha squeezed out two words from between his teeth, then turned his gaze to Gou Jian, who looked indifferent, and squinted: "It seems that King Yue doesn't plan to pretend to be crazy and stupid anymore." ”

For his sarcasm, Gou Jian was not angry, and said with a smile: "King Wu's knife is about to fall, and there is no point in pretending to be any more." ”

Fu Cha said coldly: "This king really looked away and let you live until now." ”

"King Wu is magnanimous, and Gou Jian is grateful." Gou Jian bowed slightly, and after standing up straight, he said again: "Since King Wu has left me alive for three years, it is not bad to stay this time." ”

"Impossible!" Fucha gritted his teeth and said: "Tonight, you don't want to step out of Gusu City alive!" ”

"Really?" Gou Jian said with a smile: "Can King Wu really be ruthless to watch Yiguang die in front of you?" As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Chong, who understood, and with a slight force on his hand, blood immediately left along the blade.

Fan Li didn't expect them to say that they would do it, so he hurriedly pressed Wen Chong's hand holding the knife, and exclaimed: "King, don't hurt Yiguang." ”

A trace of displeasure flashed through Gou Jian's eyes, and he said kindly: "This king has his own measure, you can just watch it from the sidelines." Seeing him say this, Fan Li had to let go of his hand and stepped aside.

The husband gritted his teeth secretly and did not say a word; He knows that this is a psychological war, and whoever speaks out first will lose this one, and even lose the qualification to fight for hegemony.

Hold back, you have to hold back.

Although Fan Li has all kinds of wrongs, he still cares about Yiguang, and believes that he will not die without help, yes, Yiguang will be fine!

Fucha tried his best to comfort himself in his heart, but as the wound on Yiguang's neck became deeper and deeper, and the blood flowed more and more, his mind became more and more uneasy.

Looking at Yiguang's pale cheeks, the husband was in a state of confusion, if he continued like this, even if he didn't hurt the main vein in his neck, Yiguang would lose too much blood and die, what should I do? What to do?

During this period, Fan Li had persuaded more than once, but was stopped by Gou Jian, so he could only watch.

"Still not allowed?" Gou Jian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It seems that King Wu really doesn't pity her life, so it's better to give her a simple one than to live and suffer like this." ”

This time, Fucha finally couldn't help it, let go of his sore teeth, and said word by word: "Okay, this king will let you go!" ”

"Thank you, King Wu!" Gou Jian thanked with a smile.

With the words of the husband, the road was unimpeded, and soon came to the east city gate, looking at the open city gate, as well as the Vietnamese army outside the city, Gou Jian motioned Wen Chong to put down the knife, and then took out the handkerchief and handed it to Yiguang, who was sweating coldly because of blood loss, let her hold down the wound, and said apologetically: "This road has made you suffer, I'm really sorry, fortunately, everything is going well, let's go." ”

Yiguang reluctantly stood up straight, and said: "King Yue can leave Gusu safely, Yiguang is finally worthy of his father's spirit in the sky, I hope that King Yue will be sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and don't start another war, no matter whether you win or lose, your people will be displaced and miserable." ”

Gou Jian's brows furrowed slightly, he was keenly aware of the change in Yiguang's title, the difference between one word, but he was much more alienated, and said gently: "This is natural, the hour is not early, let's go quickly." ”

Facing Gou Jian's urging, Yiguang shook his head and said: "Yiguang is a Yue person, so he wants to save the Yue King." ”

Wen Chong scoffed at her words, "When did you save the king, you haven't done anything except being a hostage along the way." ”

Yiguang raised her right hand, and at some point she had three more silver needles between her fingers, which flashed in the moonlight, "Along the way, I have hundreds of chances to pierce these three silver needles into the acupoints on your waist, paralyzing your limbs and making you look like a waste!" ”

Wen Chong listened to it in a cold sweat, he never expected that along the way, he would be spinning in front of the ghost gate, but fortunately......

Yiguang endured a burst of dizziness and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Wen, you finally rescued King Yue and made a great contribution, and it is not in vain that you have done all kinds of dirty things in order to grab the merit." ”

"You...... Don't talk nonsense, how can there be such a thing. Wen Chong whispered at Gou Jian as he spoke, and saw that the latter's expression had not changed, so he was a little relieved.

"Yes and no, you know best." Yiguang didn't continue, today's contact had already made her know that Gou Jian was a suspicious and deep person, even worse than her husband.

The words just now, like a particle, quietly planted in Gou Jian's heart, over time, will definitely take root and sprout, grow into a towering tree, and at that time, it will be the death of the literary species.

After this small episode, Yiguang took over the words just now and said: "Yiguang is a Yue person, but he is also the wife of King Wu and the queen of Wu, so Yiguang can't go with King Yue, and I hope that King Yue will forgive his sins." ”

Fan Li didn't expect her to take the initiative to stay, so she was shocked for a while, and said eagerly: "You approached King Wu that day to rescue the king, and now that the task is complete, how can you continue to stay here." Saying that, he made a gesture to pull Yiguang, but was avoided by the latter, Yiguang said with a firm expression: "Yiguang has made up his mind, Mr. doesn't need to say much, Mr. All kinds of care, Yiguang remembers, you and I will say goodbye!" ”

Fan Li was about to say more, and Gou Jian had already said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, since she insists on staying by King Wu's side, Mr. Fan doesn't have to be reluctant, let's go." ”

Although Fan Li was unwilling, he had already made up his mind to Yiguang, and secondly, he could only leave step by step, until the city gate cut off his gaze.

Yiguang covered his bleeding neck and walked to the husband who had not spoken since just now, and said in a weak and gentle voice: "The concubine has not broken her promise, as long as the king does not give up for a day, Yiguang will not leave the king for a day; It's just where my father's last life is, King Yue...... Yiguang can't let go, begging the king not to be angry; From now on, Yiguang has only one identity, that is, the wife of the king, the queen of Wu! ”

Fucha didn't speak, just hugged Yiguang tightly......

After this incident, Wu and Yue exchanged three years of peace, and three years later, Gou Jian raised an army to attack Wu, and the husband got the news, regardless of Yiguang's opposition, and ordered someone to send her back to Ramie Village.

Before leaving, the husband told Yiguang that when he returned, he must go to the pear tree in the small courtyard to have a look, where he buried things......

Outside the city, a simple carriage slowly traveled east in the rising sun, in the carriage, Yiguang was tied hand and foot, beads of tears, beside her was a small bamboo flute......

The long wind is mighty, and the husband stands on the city wall and looks into the distance, that ...... It is the direction of the country......

Gou Jian tried his courage by lying on his salary, and personally led 3,000 Yuejia to break the Wu State, and finally avenged the revenge of dung; On the day of the breakdown of the city, Fucha died in battle, and he was hit by dozens of arrows without falling!

The Yue Kingdom eventually became the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Fan Li knew that the King of Yue could share hardships and hardships, not be happy together, so after destroying Wu, he faked his death and escaped and lived in seclusion in the mountains. And the literary species relied on their high merits and became more and more arrogant, and finally made the seeds that Yiguang left in Gou Jian's heart grow into a towering tree, and died in the bow of the bird.

On the day of Fucha's death, Yiguang dug up a pot of pear blossom wine under the pear tree in the courtyard, which was the wine made by Fucha himself, and it was also his last gift to Yiguang......
