Chapter 12: Divorce
As soon as Fusu returned to his residence, when the four daughters of Huofeng were waiting for him to wash his face and change his clothes, Qi Hong took out a brocade box and said, "Childe, at noon today, Miss Xiao ordered someone to send a letter, please take a look at Childe?" ”
Fusu was stunned, only to find that there seemed to be a trace of displeasure on the faces of the five women. When I opened the brocade box, I saw that there was a white silk handkerchief inside, which was fragrant and embroidered with plum blossoms.
Fusu unfolded a look, and there were only a few crosses on it:
The goddess is intentional, and the king of Xiang is ruthless;
The heart is sad and leaves the swallow, and this hatred will be cherished forever.
Fusu's head buzzed, and an indescribable emotion suddenly surged in his heart: Is it regret? Is it reluctant? Is it sad? Or liberation? For a while, even Fusu couldn't tell how he felt!
Suddenly, Fusu gritted his teeth, put the silk handkerchief into his arms, and said loudly: "Come on, prepare the horse!" "Wow!" The unharmed man who was standing outside answered and hurried away.
The girls were stunned when they heard this, and their faces showed a look of jealousy, Qi Hong hurriedly said, "Why did the son just come back and want to go out?" Let's take a break! Fusu hurriedly said: "What are you resting, everyone is about to leave, although I lost her, but she wants to leave, at least I have to send her!" ”
As he spoke, he ignored everyone, strode out, met the uninjured man who had sent the horse, and galloped away. The rest of the people were not in a hurry, only Wuxian followed behind, and then ran all the way to Tingyuxuan.
After about a quarter of an hour, hearing that Yuxuan had arrived, Fusu turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the gate.
When the two doormen saw it, they hurriedly stopped and said, "Stop, Zhao Gongzi, laugh at everyone, she doesn't want to see you!" Fusu hurriedly said: "Nonsense, you get out of the way for you!" The doorman was also anxious: "Zhao Gongzi, please see clearly, this is the courtyard of His Royal Highness the Prince, not everyone dares to go wild!" Laughing at everyone's words, don't see you, we can't let you in! ”
Fusu was stunned, couldn't help clenching his fists, and walked around in front of the door like a wounded tiger, with an angry and sad temperament immediately emitting from his body, and the powerful power frightened the two men into breathing, and almost knelt down. Suddenly, Fusu punched the courtyard wall of Tingyuxuan with a heavy fist, and the courtyard wall trembled three times.
Fusu stomped his feet and said, "Well, that's the case, it's good not to see it, so that everyone will be sad!" No injury, back! He turned around and got on his horse, and went back.
Along the way, Fusu was sullen, and he couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw that there was no injury.
Unconsciously, Fusu let the horse come to the Yanfeng Restaurant, and when he looked up, he couldn't help but be stunned. Look at the sky, it's almost late, the dog slaughterer should be almost there, Fusu temporarily put aside the unhappiness in his heart, cheered up, and handed over the horse to Ma Xiaoer without injury, and entered the second floor.
The beautiful proprietress Xue Ji saw Fu Su coming up, and greeted her with a smile: "Zhao Gongzi hasn't seen him for many days, Xue Ji still thinks that Gongzi forgot the shop?" Fusu smiled slightly: "How can it, even if you forget the hotel, you can't forget the beauty and understanding of Miss Xueji!" ”
Xue Ji's face turned red when she heard this, and she said coquettishly: "Zhao Gongzi came to me to joke again!" By the way, Jing Ke, will they come later? Fusu nodded and said, "Brother Tu Dog said, he will go and bring Jing Ke and Gradually Li, you prepare some wine and food for us first, I want to drink two glasses first!" "Okay, Childe sit down!" Xue Ji immediately walked briskly.
Fusu sat in the place where Jing Ke and they often sit, and without saying a word, he drank three glasses of hot wine, and his brain heated up a little under the stimulation of alcohol, which suddenly alleviated the unhappiness in his heart a lot.
Not long after, at the sound of the stairs, three people came up, it was the dog butcher, Jing Ke, and Gao Yuanli. Gao Yanli laughed and said, "Brother Xian came first!" I haven't seen my brother for many days, and I really don't have enough friends, so I should be punished with three glasses of wine! ”
Jing Ke smiled and said: "Brother Xian may have something, don't force him to leave!" Fusu shook his head and said, "Brother Gao is right, you should be punished with three glasses of wine!" After that, he poured himself a drink, drank three cups in a row, his face suddenly flushed a little, and his eyes showed a confused look.
Gao Yanli and Jing Ke looked at it, and they were stunned in their hearts, the two of them also knew a lot about Fusu's personality, and knew that Fusu had a cheerful, calm and deep personality, but today he seemed to have something on his mind. The two didn't dare to make fun of him anymore, so they sat down next to Fusu, only the dog butcher thought that Fusu was sad to see that he was going away, so he comforted: "Don't be sad, brother Xian, although I am about to leave, there will be a time to see you again in the future!" ”
Jing Ke and Gao were shocked when they heard this, and Jing Ke hurriedly said, "What's the matter, Brother Slaughter Dog is leaving Yan Kingdom?" The dog butcher nodded, and said with some sadness: "Yes, I lost my father when I was young, and I once worshipped a hermit as a teacher. The hermit treated me like a son, and was very gracious. Soon after, my family moved to Qi due to the war, and I lost contact with my teacher. Today, I suddenly learned from Brother Zhao Xian that his teacher lived in Linzi, so he was anxious and ready to rush to Qi to serve his old man! ”
Gao Yanli said sadly when he heard this: "Brother Tu Dog is so affectionate and righteous, which is admirable. It's just that it's hard to see my brother again, doesn't it make people sigh! Jing Ke also said a little sadly: "Yes, you and my brother have known each other in Yan Country for several years, they are like brothers and sisters, and they swear to live and die together. ”
Fu Su suddenly laughed and said: "Brother Jing, Brother Gao, why do you want to be this daughter, Brother Tu Dog is going for filial piety, we should respect each other with wine, how can we be so mother-in-law!" ”
Gao Yanli smiled when he heard this: "What the virtuous brother said is very true. Maybe my generation doesn't have to be so formal, wait for me to build a song here to see off Brother Dog Slaughter. Brother Jing, you can sing a song to attach! ”
Jing Ke said proudly: "Okay, when I say goodbye today, I will sing and drink bitterly, and I won't get drunk or return!" The crowd applauded.
At that moment, Gao gradually left the pendulum building, knocked lightly on the door, and then looked at Jing Ke. Jing Ke understood, and when Zhuyin turned around and became impassioned, he couldn't help but sing loudly, singing through the house:
A Thousand Mountains Alone,
Ten thousand rivers drift away.
One body and one knife,
Where to get home.
The country is difficult to return,
There is no way for a strong man,
Falling to a foreign land,
When is the end of the beard?
Singing to 'Fall into a foreign land, when will the end of the beard? At that time, the voice changed from high-pitched to low, and Fusu couldn't help but harmonize with the voice, repeatedly whispering, and the five people upstairs, including Xue Ji, couldn't help but cry two lines.
The dog slaughterer stood up first, did not wipe the tears on his face, and said: "Say goodbye to your brothers today, come, I will toast you three cups!" As he spoke, he drank three glasses in a row, and his face suddenly flushed.
Everyone was sad, and they also raised their glasses together and drank bitterly.
Everyone sang to the excitement, played to the passion, and couldn't help but hug their heads and cry, as if there was no one around.
It's rare for four big men to be so affectionate.
It was getting late at night, and the dog butcher looked at the sky with drunken eyes, sighed, and said, "Stay." You and my brother say goodbye today, and don't come to see me off tomorrow, or I'll have to cry again!" ”
Jing Ke, Gao Yuanli, and Fusu said sadly: "Cherish! ”
The dog butcher gritted his teeth, clenched his fists slightly, turned his head and left, and staggered downstairs.
Gao gradually sighed: "Brother Tu Dog has returned to seclusion this time, I'm afraid I won't see each other again!" Jing Ke closed his eyes slightly and took a long breath: "Brother Tu Dog can let go of the burden in his heart and resolutely go into hiding, how chic!" And what about me, where do I belong!? ”
Fusu said in a low voice: "White clouds everywhere and home everywhere, the red dust in the world is the hometown!" Brother Jing, retreat is the retreat of the heart, not the retreat of the body. Brother Tu Dog has no worries, and he cares about his teacher, and his retreat is just right. Brother Jing has not accomplished a big thing, even if he hides his body, he can't hide it! ”
Jing Ke sighed and said, "What the virtuous brother said is very true! Alas, forget it. Say goodbye! ”
Fusu parted with Jing Ke and Gao gradually, and returned home without injury.
Fang walked halfway, and Fusu, who was full of wine, was violently stirred by the cool breeze, and suddenly the strength of the wine surged, and the river and the sea were turned over in his abdomen, and he vomited out on horseback. The figure also shook and almost fell off. Without any injuries, he panicked, hurriedly dismounted, leaned the drunk Fusu on the horse's back, and then took Fusu's reins and sent Fusu back to his residence.
Back in the house, everyone saw that Fusu was so drunk that he was unconscious, and they were shocked, so they hurriedly bathed Fusu, changed into clean underwear, and waited for ginger soup.
In a hazy mood, Fusu only felt a warm and fragrant body put his head in his arms, and then carefully fed himself a bowl of piping hot ginger soup. It's just that Fusu didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, and after drinking the ginger soup, he immediately fell asleep dizzy.
******
Early the next morning, when Fusu was asleep, he suddenly felt someone breathing in his ear: "Childe, Childe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down!" ”
Fu Su was startled, and suddenly woke up, and saw that Huo Feng was in front of the bed with a concerned look, and Prince Dan was also worried about Zhong Zhong standing by the bed.
Fu Su rubbed his head with a headache, and hurriedly got up and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, forgive me, Brother Tu Dog returned to Linzi yesterday, and Zhao Su drank a few more cups!" ”
Prince Dan shook his head and said, "It's okay, I have something to say to you!" Fusu understood and said to Huofeng: "You go out first!" "Yes, Childe!" The fire phoenix retreated.
Prince Dan paced a few steps in the house, and said sadly: "Yesterday, I went to the foot of Yanwu Mountain, checked the location where Changping and Zhao Qing were ambushed, and sent people to search, but I didn't even find a living person!" ”
Fusu smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, these subordinates of the prince of Changping are also loyal, and in order to protect the lord, they all died in battle!" Then he asked, "Did Childe find any useful clues at the scene?" ”
Prince Dan shook his head and said, "Almost all the useful things at the scene were burned clean by the fire, and even the people were burned beyond recognition, and they were extremely charred!" Fusu asked again, "What about the weapons?" Could it be that the weapons have also been burned? ”
Prince Dan nodded and said, "I have collected a lot of weapons, and they are basically the weapons of the Chu people. Only one or two swords and some arrows don't seem to be the things of the Chu army, they should be left behind by the assassins in the fierce battle! Fusu smiled secretly in his heart, but said, "Oh? What clues are there in the things left behind by the Assassins? ”
Prince Dan said: "There is no handwriting on the weapon, but looking at its craftsmanship, it looks like a weapon of the Wei people!" ”
Fusu pretended to be stunned and said: "Could it be that Prince Changping and Mr. Huang Wu sent killers to each other, so that they were all killed?" Prince Dan smiled bitterly and said, "Other than this, there seems to be no other explanation!" By the way, Zhao Qing, can this matter be pushed to Qin Guo? ”
Fusu laughed in his heart: "This prince Dan is dizzy!" He hurriedly said: "No, the prince knows that it is impossible for the Qin people to find out the news of Hezong in such a short period of time and send killers, if the Qin army is dirty, I am afraid that it will cause the Qin army to be angry and immediately send a large army to attack." And Chu, Wei and other countries are far away from Yan State, and since the Hezong has been shattered, how can they come to the rescue! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not! ”
Prince Dan hurriedly said: "Then according to Zhao Qing's intentions, how can Dan be good?" Fusu pretended to smile bitterly and said: "For today's plan, Changping and Huang Wu are not killing each other to death, but also insisting that the two of them are killing each other." In this way, at least the Wei and Chu states can be given an explanation, and they can settle the disputes themselves. And the Yan Kingdom still married the King of Qin with the head of Fan Yu and the letter of seeking peace, so that the disaster of destroying the country could be temporarily avoided! ”
Prince Dan thought about it, his face was cloudy, and he said for a long time: "The deaths of Changping and Huang Wu will be handled according to Zhao Qing's affairs, but to kill General Fan Yuzhi, Rong Dan will think about it again!" Zhao Qing has a good rest, Dan is leaving! ”
Fu Su sneered in his heart: "Prince Dan, if you know the current affairs, you can still leave a life, if you don't know the current affairs, and still want to send someone to assassinate Qin, I'm afraid you will not escape death!" ”
At this moment, Qi Hong came in, his face was a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something and stopped. Fusu said unhappily: "Sister Hong will say it if she has something to say, why bother spitting!" ”
Hearing this, Qi Hong looked at Fusu's face and said cautiously: "I heard that Miss Xiao left Yan Country and went south to Qi Country this morning, and many dignitaries in the city went to see her off!" ”
Fusu was stunned when he heard this, and there was a trace of reluctance and confusion in his eyes. But Fusu's self-adjustment ability is very good, and he has recovered from yesterday's sadness, and just said lightly: "Got it, you go down." I want to rest a little longer! "Yes, Childe!" Qi Hong saw that Fusu was not too sad, so he retreated with confidence.
Fusu was lying on the bed, thinking of the words and smiles of the spring breeze and the ten thousand styles, he couldn't help but sigh: "Gathering and dispersing is always love, how can life be as good as it is everywhere!" ”
*****
That night, Prince Dan secretly went to Taifu Juwu's mansion.
In the secret room, Prince Dan said with a sad face: "Teacher, now that Changping and Huang Wu are dead, although Dan replied to the two countries on the grounds that the two killed each other because of love, the two kingdoms will inevitably have a grudge against Yan, and the matter of conspiracy will definitely be shattered." At this point, I wonder what else the teacher can teach me? ”
Ju Wu frowned and said, "The deaths of Changping and Huang Wu, I always feel a little strange, it is very likely that Qin Guo did it. But it was really impossible for Qin Guo to react like this in such a short period of time, so he was also quite puzzled for a while! Prince, do you think there will be a problem with that Zhao Su? ”
Prince Dan shook his head and said: "Impossible, how can he, an old nobleman of the Zhao Kingdom and an unknown person, have such strength to kill the important ministers of the two countries!" Moreover, his subordinates were all in the inn that day, and Zhao Su wanted to rely on a few of them to kill 200 people of the Chu army and Huang Wu, which is simply a fantasy! ”
Ju Wu thought about it, so he shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "The matter has come to this, if the Yan Kingdom wants to temporarily avoid the disaster of destroying the country, it can only use the head of Fan Yu and the Lord to ask for peace in order to ask the King of Qin to temporarily stop attacking Yan!" ”
Hearing this, Prince Dan gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, General Fan came to vote for me when he was in danger, how could I be so traitorous!" If Dan really did this, everyone in the world would laugh at Dandong for ignoring his sympathetic friendship and only fearing the threat of Qiang Qin! ”
"What about the prince?" Ju Wu couldn't help but frown.
"Dan means that the matter is urgent, it is better to follow Cao Mo to kidnap the King of Qin like he hijacked the Duke of Qi Huan! Ask him to swear an oath never to invade it again, and if he refuses to agree, kill him! If he dies, the Qin Kingdom will be chaotic, and my Yan Kingdom will be safe! ”
Ju Wu was taken aback, shook his head and said, "The old minister thinks this method is not good, but I can introduce people to His Highness." That is Mr. Tian Guang. He is wise and brave and calm, he is the head of the Ranger in the Yan Kingdom, and the leader of the 'Heavenly Fury', and there are many capable people under his command, so the prince can consult with him. ”
Hearing this, Prince Dan nodded, but said with some hesitation: "It's just that Mr. Tian Guang is a market ranger, and his interactions are too complicated, so I don't know if he can keep such a major state event secret?" ”
Ju Wu said with a straight face: "Mr. Tian Guang, the believer is also." Your Highness is not suspicious, otherwise it is better not to do it! ”
"What the teacher said is that Dan has been taught!"
******
Early the next morning, Prince Dan sent an car, and Ju Wu personally came to invite Tian Guang.
When Tian Guang arrived at the East Palace, Prince Dan had already greeted him in front of the palace gate, gave the gift of his juniors, and welcomed Tian Guang into the secret room.
The two of them made up their minds, abandoning all idle people, etc., and even Taifu Juwu went out together to avoid suspicion!
Tian Guang knew that the crown prince Dan must have something important to ask for, otherwise he would not be so respectful, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness the prince is so courteous, Tian Guang is ashamed." I don't know what His Highness has to ask for, but it doesn't hurt to say! ”
Prince Dan gritted his teeth and said: "Now that the alliance is broken, the Yan Kingdom is in danger, and Dan can't bear to kill his old friends in order to be safe, so he is determined to kidnap or assassinate the King of Qin!" Prince Dan explained to Tian Guang in detail the benefits of robbing Qin or assassinating Qin that he had said to Ju Wu last night.
When Tian Guang heard this, he was silent for a long time, just when the hearts of Prince Dan and the others were anxious, suddenly Tian Guang opened his shining eyes and said in a deep voice: "Tian Guang has not made much contribution to Yan Guo in his life, and today he has this opportunity, but it is not in vain." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants the old man to do something, but it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
