After the soldiers left, the hall fell into a dead silence, and Arnold could almost hear the sound of his own heartbeat, which was unusually depressing.

After some time, the soldier came in with a bowl of black mushrooms, "Sir, it is ready to be fried according to your words." ”

"Okay." Wen Chong nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Yiguang with pity, "Please drink this herb from the queen." ”

Yiguang said expressionlessly: "What kind of leaf is this?" ”

Wen Chong didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "Dumb." ”

Arnold exclaimed in shock, "You want to poison the dumb queen? ”

Wen Chong said in embarrassment: "The queen's life can't be taken, but you can't talk nonsense by the queen's temperament, think about it, this is the only way." As he spoke, he laughed falsely again, "I know that the queen is a good doctor, so this pair is cooked at three times the normal amount, and I believe it is enough to shut up the queen!" ”

"You're so vicious." Arnold said hatefully, and hurriedly stood in front of Yiguang, "I will never let you harm the queen." ”

"You?" Wen Chong was amused, but also said contemptuously: "What are you, do you have the right to speak?" ”

Arnold was about to speak, when she suddenly felt someone writing on her back, she knew it was Yiguang, and quickly calmed down to perceive.

Because of Arnold's obstruction, Wen Chong did not see Yiguang's action, he took the bowl of dumb leaves that exuded a strong fishy smell from the soldier, and said in a cat-and-mouse tone: "What, does the queen drink it herself, or will I feed you?" ”

Yiguangxiu's eyebrows were frowned, like layers of distant mountains, which was prohibitive, and this time, she seemed to have really been cornered......

Wen also thinks so, so he doesn't urge, and waits calmly for Yiguang to drink.

At this moment, Arnold suddenly rushed over, knocked over the leaf in Wen Chong's hand, and said sharply: "As long as I have a breath, you don't want to harm Niangniang!"

Arnold's actions angered Wen Chong, and he said angrily: "I didn't want to deal with you as a lowly girl, but you have to go to the road of death, okay, I will fulfill you!"

"Come on, drag this girl down and beat her to death!" Wen Chong said in a dark voice, he has never been a soft-hearted person.

Hearing this, Arnold's body trembled slightly, but she always pursed her lips stubbornly, without the slightest intention of begging for mercy.

Just as the soldier was about to drag Arnold down, Yiguang said, "Spare her, I will drink according to your words." ”

Wen Chong said with a sneer: "The queen is confused, you are now a prisoner, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" ”

"I'm really not qualified, but if I die, I'm afraid my husband won't be able to explain it to the second son."

Wen Chong's face sank, "Are you threatening me?" ”

Yiguang walked to the side of the long table, where there was a beast head of the wrong gold incense burner, she opened the lid of the stove, scooped a scoop of translucent spices into the incense burner, and took out a flower shaped like a rose from the dark grid and put it into the furnace, suddenly there was a quiet and elegant fragrance in the air, which made people feel refreshed.

If Gongsun Li is still alive, he will definitely recognize that this is the flower in his hand when Yiguang came to the prison - forget his worries.

Yiguang said lightly: "Sir, just take it as a threat, how, do you agree?" ”

Wen Chong's expression is uncertain, whether it is Fu Cha or Fan Libing coming to the city, Yiguang is very useful, if he dies, it is indeed troublesome.

Thinking of this, he nodded slowly, "Okay, for the queen's sake, I'll spare this little girl for the time being." ”

"Thank you." Yiguang didn't break his promise, and after the soldier re-fried the dumb leaves, he simply drank it.

Wen Chong left satisfied, and when he stepped out of the main hall, his legs suddenly became weak, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and his head was also a little dizzy, and there was a kind of ...... The feeling of just waking up from a dream.

The soldier hurriedly helped Wen Chong up, "What's wrong with Mr. Wen?" ”

Wen Chong shook his head vigorously, which was also dizzy, "It's okay, suddenly a little dizzy and weak." ”

What he didn't expect was that the soldier said, "The villain also feels this way." ”

Wen Chong was stunned, turned his head to look at the brightly lit Changle Hall behind him, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, but he thought about it for a while.

He rubbed his temples and said, "Send more people, take care of the queen, don't let her leave, if there is anything, report it immediately." ”

After the soldiers responded one by one, Wen Chong strode away to continue his great plan of "high merit and fame through the ages".

When Gongzishan and others were busy controlling Gusu City, the situation on Fucha's side had reached the point of being precarious and overturning at any time, although he tried his best to maneuver, but the difference in strength between the two armies was huge, even if he won some small victories by stratagem, it was far from being able to close the gap between the two armies.

What supported Fucha's efforts in this difficult situation was the army mobilized by Tudag to Gusu, which was his only hope; But as time passed, there was no reinforcement of the army led by Tudagger, and it stands to reason that he should arrive even if he is slow, unless......

After another fiasco, Fucha made the difficult decision of his life - to retire!

For the arrogant husband, this decision is like being slapped in public, losing his face and arrogance as a king, and running away in embarrassment; But if it continues, according to the current situation, within a few days, all the soldiers around him will be killed, and he will also become a prisoner of the Vietnamese army, so after weighing it again, he finally made the decision to retreat.

But the retreat does not mean that the husband is safe, the Vietnamese army led by Fan Li has won many battles, the momentum is like a rainbow, and it is pursued all the way, and there is a momentum to annihilate them all.

During this period, Bo Yao's performance disappointed him, greedy for life and afraid of death, only knew how to talk on paper, and Wu Zixu was completely incomparable, he didn't understand, how could he favor such a villain.

After entering Wu, he finally got rid of the Vietnamese army by taking advantage of the geographical advantage, but he knew that this was only temporary, and the Vietnamese army would find them at any time, so he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and marched to Gusu at the fastest speed all the way, and only when he entered the city could he be considered safe, provided that he ...... They can go into the city.

The dagger's dishonesty was like a thorn in his husband's heart, keeping him awake at night.

After another day of exhausting running, a dusty face pointed to the towering city not far away, "Look, Gusu City, we have arrived!" ”

The exhausted soldiers all showed joy, fled all the way, narrowly escaped several times, and finally arrived home. Thinking of this, the pace under their feet quickened a lot, and they strode towards Gusu City, which was close at hand.

Fucha looked at Gusu City with a complicated expression, and he would soon be able to know the reason for Tudag's dishonesty, I hope it won't be the worst one, hopefully......

In a few moments they arrived at the city, and it was daylight, but the gates were closed, and there was not a single gap, and the soldiers, though they felt strange, did not think much of it, and shouted to the city: "The king is back, open the door quickly!" ”

After shouting three times in succession, the soldiers poked their heads out, and the men looked at them with a hesitant and strange gaze, and after some whispering they shrank back, and as for the gates, they were still closed, and there was no sign of opening them.

This time, not to mention the husband, even those soldiers noticed that something was wrong, and when the king returned, the city gate was closed and shouted but not opened, and there must be something strange in it.

A few anxious soldiers couldn't help but rush over and knock on the heavy city gate, urging the people inside to open the door, through the crack in the door, they also saw that there were indeed people behind the door, but no one came to open the door despite such beating, urging and even abuse, they ...... It's like an abandoned ghost.

Fucha looked at the towering city wall with gloomy eyes, and what he feared most really happened, but it was just ...... He didn't understand, how could Tu Dagger have such guts?

After nearly an hour like this, a familiar figure appeared on the city wall, he looked condescendingly at the husband on horseback, and a hideous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

If it is said that Fucha has some psychological preparation for Tudag's betrayal, then the appearance of this person in front of him really shocked him and blurted out, "Why are you here?" ”

Gongzishan's face was cold, and he smiled as before, "Brother Wang is so reluctant to see his brother?" ”

The husband ignored his words and said in a cold voice: "Who brought you here, Tudagger?" ”

Gongzishan smiled and said nothing, but two people walked out from behind him, one was a dagger, and the other was a kind of literature, and there was undisguised resentment and ridicule in his eyes, "Before the king set out on the expedition, didn't he keep saying that he was going to destroy the Yue Kingdom, why did he come back now?" I almost didn't recognize it below. ”

"It's you!" Fucha stared at Wen Chong and the others with a cold gaze, "The three of you have joined forces to betray this king?" ”

Wen Chongpi said with a smile: "During the reign of the king, he acted perversely, regardless of the difficulties of the people, insisted on going on an expedition, and trapped the people of Wu in dire straits, in order to save the people of Limin, and in order to protect the rivers and mountains of Wu, I discussed with General Tu several times and decided to welcome the second prince back to the city to take charge and stabilize the people's hearts. ”

"A bunch of rebels and thieves!" The husband hated and said that if the gaze could kill, Wen Chong would have died many times.

Fucha reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned his head to look at Gongzishan, "You and I are brothers-in-law, do you really want to betray this king with them?" ”

"Brothers-in-law? Hahaha! Gongzishan seemed to have heard the funniest thing in the world, and he couldn't stop laughing, for a long time, he suddenly smiled, and said hatefully: "When you demoted me to the border, did you ever think that we were brothers-in-law?" When you killed Dan'er, did you ever think that we were brothers? ”

The husband was stunned and said suspiciously: "Dan'er? Zheng Dan? ”

"Not bad!" Gongzishan said hatefully: "She is the woman I love most in my life, but you kill her, you kill her!" When it came to Zheng Dan, who died unexpectedly, Gongzishan was full of hatred, his hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and he couldn't wait to kill his husband with a sword.

Fucha was also shocked and angry, "You actually had an affair with the Zheng family, are you worthy of this king?!" ”

"It was you who failed Dan'er first, you welcomed her into the palace, but you didn't treat her well, making her miserable, you are the culprit!" Gongzishan took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "From the moment you killed Dan'er, I swore that I must avenge Dan'er, and now ...... Finally I found my chance! ”

Looking at Gongzishan, whose eyes were full of hatred, the husband felt a pain in his heart, once upon a time, the two brothers were very close, killing the enemy together and being punished together, but now they have become undying enemies.

He took a deep breath and said, "First, I belittled you to go to the border because you made a mistake and deserved to be punished; Second, I didn't kill Zheng Dan. ”

How could Gongzishan believe his words, and sneered: "The person is dead, you can say anything." ”

"I really didn't kill her, and when I return to the city, I promise to find out the truth and give you an explanation, but now ......" Fucha said in a deep voice: "Do you really want to turn your back on blood and family, and be instigated by these two villains to be my enemy?" If my father saw this year's scene, I don't know how sad he would be. ”

Hearing him mention Lu, Gongzishan's body trembled, the hand holding the hilt of the sword slowly loosened, and Wen Chong said in his ear: "Second Gongzi, don't be influenced by him, when he drove you out of Beijing and killed Zheng Meiren, he never thought about blood and family affection. ”

"Not bad!" Gongzi shook his head, and the only remaining family affection was ruthlessly suppressed by him, and he said coldly: "You turned your back on the royal city and me first, and you can't complain about me!" If you become a king or lose, you will be blamed for not listening to your father, listening to the slander of the villain, and harming others and yourself. ”

Fucha's expression darkened, and he immediately said: "No matter what, you can't turn your back on your bloodline and do such a thing to usurp the throne." Speaking of this, he said earnestly: "Second brother, it's still too late for you to turn back, and promise my brother that as long as you open the city gate and never pursue today's affairs, you are still my good second brother; You and I work together to protect the royal city. ”

Wen Chong said softly: "King Wu is now blocked at the city gate, he has all kinds of good words, once he is let into the city, he will immediately turn his face and be ruthless, the second prince must not listen to his rhetoric." ”

Tu Dagger also said on the side: "What Mr. Wen said is true, King Wu has never been a generous person, you think about King Wu in the past to depose you to the border, and then think about Wu Xiang, the past can be learned." ”

Gongzishan was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "I can open the city gate." ”

The dagger was shocked and hurriedly wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wen Chong's eyes, signaling him to be calm; On the depth of the scheming city, the dagger is far less than the Wenzhong, since just now, the Wenzhong has been paying attention to Gongzishan's expression, and when the latter said "open the city gate", the hatred in his eyes not only did not dissipate, but even deepened; So he concluded that there must be an article for this sentence, and sure enough, after a short pause, Gongzishan opened his mouth again: "But there is one condition." ”

The husband hurriedly said, "You just say it." ”

Gongzishan pulled out the saber at his waist, waved his hand and threw down the city gate, the sharp bronze sword happened to fall in front of Fucha, the tip of the sword went half a foot into the ground, and the sword body continued to tremble, letting out bursts of soft groans.

In Fucha's surprised gaze, Gongzishan said word by word: "If you kill yourself with this sword, I will immediately open the city gate and let them into the city." ”

Fucha never expected his so-called condition to be this, and he was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he said with difficulty: "You...... Want me to die? ”

"Not bad!" Gongzishan readily admitted that he was too lazy to hide at this moment, and said loudly to the soldiers under the city: "I, Gongzishan, swear in the name of the royal family of Dawu, as long as my husband dies, I will immediately open the city gate, let you enter the city, and never break my word!" ”

Fucha's face is as blue as stone, the Vietnamese army is behind, and they will arrive at any time, with their current state, they are definitely not the enemy of the Vietnamese army, and if they want to save their lives, they can only enter the city; Now that Gongzishan said such a thing, it was tantamount to putting him on the opposite side of all the soldiers and soldiers, and he suddenly became the enemy of the whole army!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he would never have imagined that the simple and honest brother who grew up together would become so vicious and kill people with a knife.

In the past, when Gongzishan argued with him for Wu Zixu, he was angry, but he always remembered a trace of brotherhood and brotherhood, and never put him to death; Today, the place is changing, but Gongzishan does not spare his hand, which is really chilling.

Sure enough, when those soldiers heard Gongzishan's words, their eyes invariably focused on Fucha, and the situation suddenly became delicate.

Although these soldiers have been educated by the monarch since childhood, their lives are at stake, and who would want to die a step away from the city; A few soldiers even held the hilt of their swords, their eyes looming with murderous intent looming.

Wen Chong proudly looked at the isolated husband under the city, as long as the husband died, this Gusu City and even the entire Wu country will be in the hands of Gongzishan, the latter is simple, soft ears, very easy to control, when the time comes, he is the actual controller of Wu State, is the great benefactor of King Yue, it is really happy to think about it.

"Choke!" A soldier couldn't help but pull out his long knife, the tip of which shimmered in the sunlight, like a poisonous snake waiting to devour blood.

After him, several more soldiers drew their long knives one after another, and the tips of each of them were pointed at Fucha without exception, but no one did it for the time being, after all, this knife would mean that they would be charged with killing the king; They were waiting, waiting for others to make the first move, but even so, the situation of the husband was precarious.

"Who dares to do it!" A general with a leopard's head and eyes and a tiger's beard strode forward, holding a knife in front of his husband, glaring angrily at the soldiers with bad intentions.

This person's name is Ji Ling, and he has been fighting with his husband for many years, and he can be regarded as a general, but because he was recommended by Wu Zixu to his husband's side, coupled with his low temperament, he is not reused, and he has been unknown.

Those soldiers were stared at by him, and they involuntarily took a step back, but soon someone stepped forward again and said loudly: "General Ji, we don't want to die!" ”

Ji Ling said coldly: "Who wants to die, but must not do anything to kill the king and kill the master, who wants to be unfavorable to the king, first asked me the long knife in my hand!" ”

"He is stubborn and self-serving, he has already betrayed his relatives, and even Wu Xiang was deposed by him and imprisoned in the mansion, General Ji was pulled up by Wu Xiang, aren't you not angry at all?" There was no shortage of soldiers who were good speakers.

"Clever words!" Ji Ling snorted coldly, and before everyone could see it clearly, a cold light flashed, and the soldier standing at the front had already landed on the ground; This sudden change stunned everyone, and no one expected Ji Ling to be so resolute and resolute, and he would kill if he said he would.

"Bell!" Ji Ling slammed the long knife on the ground, looked around at the soldiers and said loudly: "Whoever dares to move the killing intent again, this is the end!" ”

Seeing this killing god, those soldiers with bad intentions were terrified, and their hands holding knives couldn't help shaking, and one of them said boldly: "You...... Can you still be the enemy of all of us? ”

"Everyone?" Ji Ling repeated these three words, his eyes showing sarcasm and disdain; The next moment, he raised his voice and said, "Do you all have to forget the words of the past and betray the Wu Kingdom?" ”

After a short pause, someone replied loudly: "Wu Xiang taught, never forget!" ”

This sentence is like a stone thrown into the lake, instantly striking a thousand waves, and the voices are one after another, resounding under this sky, shaking Gongzishan and others, and also shocking Fucha.
