Leaving Ji Zhi's tent, King Wu returned to the camp to rest, he lay on the bed, put his hand to his heart, and gently touched a scar there, and the past came to his heart in an instant.

Sixteen years ago, Fucha was not the king of Wu, or even the crown prince, he was just a prince who was not taken seriously. Despite this, he does not intend to compromise with his background, he longs for power, he longs for the throne high, and he is willing to pay any price in order to compete for the crown prince.

By chance, he met a warrior whose surname was Chen, and he took that warrior under his command and treated him as a guest, and treated him sincerely and favorably all day long. The warrior was grateful and determined to fight for him.

Finally, the opportunity came, and the prince went out to inspect official business, which was a great opportunity to assassinate him. The warrior said goodbye to his husband, this time there was no life or death. But the warrior did not succeed, the assassination plan was revealed, and the warrior was caught by the prince.

The prince was furious, and ordered the warriors to be imprisoned and tortured, and in any case they had to ask whether they were instructed by the people, and the warriors were tortured to the point that they were not human, but they never confessed to their husbands.

In the end, the warrior died in prison, burying the secret forever.

Fucha did not feel much grief over the warrior's death, and to his sorrow, this defeat probably meant that he would never have the chance to kill the prince again.

However, just when his husband was at a loss, a master named Yan Lingyu found him. Yan Lingyu told him that the warrior had an older brother named Chen Yin, and Chen Yin was determined to avenge his brother, and this revenge would create an opportunity for him to use his bitter tricks, which could greatly help him fight for the throne, but he also had to take a lot of risks.

Fucha doesn't care about risks, as long as he can become a prince, he is willing to take any risk and pay any price!

Yan Lingyu told him the time and place of Chen Yin's ambush, and when the time came, he had to put on a helmet and walk on Wang Yin's side, and expose his heart, the purpose was to facilitate Chen Yin's shooting.

Yan Lingyu also gave him a heart goggle, which was very peculiar, very thin, and very brittle. Yan Lingyu said that this heart shield could not completely block the arrows, but it could withstand fatal injuries. When the arrow pierces through, the goggles shatter so that he doesn't wear them.

Sure enough, at the time and place informed by Yan Lingyu, Chen Yin shot an arrow of revenge at him. He shouted "Protect the King", pretending to block the arrow for his father. The arrow shattered the goggles he had attached to his heart, and the goggles did prevent the fatal wound, but the arrow still pierced his body, and he rolled over and fell off his horse in pain, and after landing, he hurriedly removed the shattered goggles and quietly buried the fragments in the earth.

The father thought that the husband had helped him block the fatal blow, and since then he has loved the husband very much.

Not long after, the crown prince died unexpectedly, and Fucha, with the help of Yan Lingyu and Wu Zixu and others, stood out from the other princes, gradually moved towards victory, and finally became the prince of Wu, and then ascended to the throne of power.

The husband relieved himself from his memories, poured a glass of wine, and said to himself: "Hehe, for the sake of power, why not? ”

At this time, Zhang Xun was waiting anxiously outside the Zhou State camp, pacing back and forth, tiptoeing to look inside the camp from time to time.

The Son of Heaven's personal attendant walked out of the camp, and Zhang Xun hurriedly stepped forward. He took out a piece of gold from his bosom and quietly stuffed it into the hand of the chamberlain.

Zhang Xun asked respectfully, "Father-in-law, how is Ji Zheng's injury?" ”

The chamberlain smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the prince is a celestial person, fortunately, the iron needle didn't hit the vital point." The Imperial Physician had already dressed the prince with herbs and bandaged them, and he would be cured as long as he recuperated for a while. ”

When he heard the title of "prince", some fragments of Ji Zheng suddenly appeared in Zhang Xun's mind, and he couldn't help but blame himself, in fact, he should have guessed Ji Zheng's life experience. But today, Ji Zheng's life experience has also been revealed to the world.

"That's good, that's good." Zhang Xun nodded, and asked again: "Father-in-law, since Ji Zheng is a prince, why did he go to the people?" ”

The chamberlain sighed, "No one hurts a motherless child, hey, it's really not easy for the prince to be in power these years." Oops, I saw it, the injuries all over my body, tsk, it made people feel distressed. ”

"Oh, then it's going to trouble my father-in-law to take care of him."

"General Zhang, don't worry, Wang Zizheng is also something I grew up looking up at, and I will definitely take good care of him. Okay, I'll go back first. ”

"Well, thank you, father-in-law!"

Ji Zheng was lying on the bed, and the wound he had just bandaged was still bleeding. The Son of Heaven sat aside, distressed at the scars on Ji Zheng's body.

"Father......" Ji Zheng opened his eyes and saw that the Son of Heaven was beside him, so he hurriedly propped himself up and wanted to salute the Son of Heaven.

"Lie down, lie down." The Son of Heaven hurriedly supported Ji Zheng, tears flashed in his kind eyes, and he said remorsefully: "Zheng'er, I didn't expect that you have suffered so much over the years, and your uncle has always told me that you have drowned......"

"Father, I can't blame my uncle, if it wasn't for my uncle who sent me out of Luoyang, I'm afraid the child would have ...... long ago."

The Son of Heaven shook his head and sighed, "Hey, it's all lonely." ”

Ji Zheng hurriedly waved his hand, propped himself up and said, "Father, this is my fate, if it wasn't fate, I wouldn't have a chance to block this arrow for my father today." ”

"Hey, yes, it's fate." The Son of Heaven nodded sadly, and then asked, "Zheng'er, why did you suddenly appear here?" ”

"Over the years, the child has been in the country of Yue. In this meeting, the child came on behalf of the king of Yue. If it hadn't happened suddenly, the child would have never known whether to see his father or not. ”

"Hey, silly boy, why didn't you come to see Gu earlier? For so many years, Lone has been thinking about you and your mother. ”

"My mother?" Ji Zheng lowered his head, and in his memory, his mother's appearance was already blurred. He didn't know who his mother was, let alone his mother's identity, he only knew that his mother's name had never been seen in the temple, and it was because of this that his identity was just an illegitimate child.

"Forget it, don't talk about the past." The Son of Heaven frowned and avoided the topic.

"Hmm......" Ji Zheng saw that the Son of Heaven didn't want to mention it again, so he didn't dare to ask again.

"Okay, don't leave Lone in the future. Yue Guo is weak, there is no point in staying there, after the sacrifice tomorrow, let's go back to Luoyang with Lonely. ”

"......" Ji Zheng didn't dare to refute and nodded.

"You have a good rest, Lone is going back."

"Well, the child sends his father." Ji Zheng said that he was about to get up and get out of bed.

"No need to send it, you can lie down." After saying that, the Son of Heaven turned around and prepared to leave, and just after taking a few steps, he turned around and said to Ji Zheng: "Zheng'er, thanks to you today." ”

After that, without waiting for Ji Zheng to reply, the Son of Heaven left the camp.

It was nearly dusk, and a caravan was ushered in under the city of Gusu thousands of miles away, and the leader of the team was Xiao Shi.

Outside the city gates, the vendors are still hawking, the farmers are returning home from outside the city one after another, and the bustling crowds pass through the city gates, and the roads are full of traffic, and there is no sign that a major war is coming.

Li Shi followed behind Xiao Shi, raised his eyebrows and looked around, he raised his head, looked up at the tall and thick city wall, and said: "General, there is nothing abnormal on the street, it seems that the people of Wu have not discovered us at all." ”

"That should not be taken lightly, this siege must have the help of internal responses."

"Who should the general say?"

"Hehe, you'll find out soon."

When the caravan came to the city gate, the guards stopped Xiao Shi and asked, "Stop, what are you doing?" ”

Xiao Shi stepped forward with a smile on his face, he quietly stuffed some money to the guard, and said: "We are businessmen who are here to do business, and we finally arrived in Gusu City before dark, otherwise we will have to spend the night in the field tonight." ”

The guard nodded, and sent someone to search Xiao Shi and the others and the goods they transported, and did not find anything abnormal, so they let Xiao Shi and the others enter the city.

The city was bustling with activity, as usual, and Xiao led the caravan through several streets to an ornate mansion.

After some briefing, Xiao Shi entered the mansion alone.

Xiao Shi followed the housekeeper into the side room, there was no figure in the side room, Xiao Shi was just about to sit down, but a voice came from the room, "General Xiao, hehe, so rare?" Why did you want to come to me today? ”

Xiao Shi looked for the sound, only to find that Qi Luo was lying lazily on the seat with a fat belly.

"Hehe, Ruler Boy, can't I just come and see my old friend?"

"Huh, old friend? Well, what do you want me to do you for this time? ”

"Hehe, Childe is really a cheerful person, and of course the benefits of Childe will be indispensable after this fact."

Xiao Shi said, took out a beautiful small wooden box from his arms, and respectfully handed it to the ruler.

The ruler straightened up slightly and took the wooden box, and couldn't wait to open the box, only to see that there was a delicate hosta inside. He took out the hosta, looked at it carefully for a while, nodded approvingly, and said, "Well, General Xiao can always get good goods." ”

"A little meaning, not a tribute."

Qi slightly put away the hosta and said, "Okay, I will definitely help General Xiao with his help, let's talk about it specifically." ”

"Well, this time, brother, I'm going to smuggle a batch of expensive medicinal herbs, about thirty truckloads. Now that the goods are already outside the city, I plan to bring the goods into the city tonight, so I hope that the ruler will help the son, and after the matter is completed, it will still be the same, you take one percent. ”

"Thirty cars? Hehe, I said General Xiao, your pen is getting bigger and bigger. ”

"Hehe, thanks to my son."

"It's just ......" the ruler looked embarrassed, "more than 30 truckloads of goods, if you want to quietly transport them into the city, it is not an easy thing, there are more people who need to be counted, and the cost will be greater......"

Xiao Shi smiled: "The son will take 20%. ”

"Well, at night, the brothers who defend the city will let you in."

"Hehe, Childe is refreshing."

"By the way, General Xiao, can you give me some more of the poison you gave me before, Chisha?"

"Oh?" Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Chisha is the most poisonous thing, I gave Gongzi four pills last time, which is enough to poison dozens of people, is it possible that Gongzi has used it up?" ”

"Hehe, that thing is really easy to use, I took it to deal with some troublesome things, and there may be a time when I can use it in the future, so be prepared."

"Good! Next time, I'll bring it to Childe. ”

"A word?"

"It's a deal!"

When it was near, the city of Gusu was quiet, the gate of the city had been closed, the side gate was still open, and a team of guards was guarding beside it.

At this time, he appeared under the city gate, and he said a few words to the leading guard, who nodded again and again, and then led the people to retreat. He raised a torch and waved it out of the city.

Not long after, a convoy slowly walked towards the city gate, Xiao Shi walked in the front, and hurriedly greeted him when he saw the ruler, "The ruler is really powerful!" ”

The ruler smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, what is this?" ”

"Thank you, Childe!"

"Don't patronize and thank me, these brothers are not easy, are they."

"Understood, understood." Xiao Shi waved behind him, and a guy ran over from the convoy, and the guys bribed the guards one by one, and the guards got the money and smiled.

The first car had just passed through the city gate, but the ruler suddenly shouted: "Stop! ”

Xiao Xi hurriedly signaled the convoy to stop, and he asked with a smile, "Childe?" How? Is it difficult to inspect the goods? Naturally, I'll send your share to the house. ”

Ignoring Xiao Xu, he walked straight to the wagon behind the horses. He lifted the tarpaulin covering the truck and found that the truck was indeed full of medicinal herbs.

He glanced at Xiao Shi with a suspicious gaze, "Are there really only these herbs?" Hmph, is there something valuable still hidden? General Xiao is willing to give me two percent directly, there should be something more valuable, do you want me to ask the brothers to search one by one? ”

"Huh." Xiao Shi smiled evilly and said: "Childe really knows everything, forget it, brother, I'll just say it, there are some jewels hidden in some cars behind." But if these jewelers are divided again, I really won't make any money. ”

"Humph!" He glared at the guards and shouted, "Brothers, search for me!" ”

"Don't, don't!" Xiao Shi hurriedly shouted to stop, and then leaned into the ear of Qi Luo and said, "Twenty and a half, no, three percent!" This time, Childe takes thirty percent! However, don't let the brothers search for it. ”

"Hmph." Qi Luo smiled happily, patted Xiao Shi's shoulder, and said, "It's about the same." ”

"Hehe, Childe is really powerful, I'm afraid that I won't make money doing business with Childe in the future."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry into the city, in a little while, it's time for a shift change."

"Understood!"

Then, the guards let go of the gate and let the convoy drive into Gusu City.
