The Five Elements Bridge is located on the outskirts of Huo County, it is the only way to go from the grassland where I am to the city of Huo County, the spring sun is warm and gentle, like a lover's little hand gently caressing you, I am riding on a horse, but my mind is dizzy and wants to sleep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Approaching the Wuxing Bridge, the spring breeze stained with the dampness of the river water became slightly cool, which made me suddenly sober up a lot, but when I opened my eyes, I found that I was already on the Wuxing Bridge, holding the reins of the horse, and looking around, and sure enough, I saw that on the west side of the riverbank, an old man wearing a hat sat under the weeping willows, because he had a hat on his head, so he couldn't see his face clearly.

I whispered to Ge Feng beside me, "Wait a minute, I'll go there and have a look!" ”

Ge Feng lowered his voice and said, "Will there be fraud?" I'll go and explore the truth first! He rode down the bridge and walked to the old man's side, and Fu Rebellion, who was also one of the samurai escorting me, quietly glanced at me, which should have hinted at me.

Not long after, I saw Ge Feng returning to my side with a horse, and said with a smile: "Childe, that old man just caught a colorful gold scale, ask you to come over and have a look." When I saw his relaxed expression, I immediately understood that there was definitely no mysterious danger. He nodded, turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to Ge Feng, and came to the old man alone.

The old man should have known that I was behind him, but he was still holding his rod and staring calmly at the flowing water in front of him.

I smiled and said, "Jiang Ziya's real intention in fishing Weishui lies in King Wen, which one does the old gentleman want to fish in this small ditch?" ”

The old man was silent, the bamboo pole in his hand suddenly bent like a bow, he shook his hand beautifully, but saw a herring more than two feet long being held up to the water by him, and said in a low voice: "Don't help yet!" ”

I hurried to the shore and helped him catch the herring and throw it into the basket.

The old man put on the bait and put the hook back into the water, and I washed my hands in the river and sat down on the grass beside him.

The old man said calmly: "Since Gongzi has obtained the power seal, why don't you enter the Huo royal family in a dignified manner, are you worried that someone will murder you?" ”

"I just came to Huo Country, and I am very unfamiliar with everything here, if someone wants to murder me, I am afraid that I can only escape."

The old man couldn't help but laugh: "Ji Mu? Qiu Zhen? Huo Guo dares to murder you, but there are not many! His words are enough to prove that his origin must be extraordinary.

I whispered, "That note was given to me by the old gentleman?" ”

"Yes, Fu Yi is the confidant I planted by Qiu Zhen's side, and I have known it since the day you arrived in Huo Kingdom."

I secretly took a breath of cold air, I didn't expect that Sima Qiu Zhen also had spies around him, although the country of Huo was not big, it was full of spies, and Infernal Affairs was staged everywhere.

The old man's eyes were still staring at the water and said, "The old man is the guard of Huo Guosikong, and today's situation is special, so he won't salute his son." ”

I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect that the old man in front of me was Huo Guoneng and Qiu Zhen's equal.

The guard smiled and said, "Childe don't have to worry too much, I didn't have any intention when I came to see Childe." ”

I said respectfully: "I hope Sikong will guide me through the maze!" ”

The guards looked at my accompanying warriors in the distance and smiled, "Even if I wear a hat and dress like a fisherman, these warriors will definitely be able to recognize me. ”

I followed his gaze, only to realize that one of the six samurai who was with me was missing, and it was obvious that he had gone back to report to Qiu Zhen. I whispered, "Since Sikong knows that he can't hide the fact that we met, why do he still dress up like this?" ”

Wei Gong smiled: "I also like to fish by the Nirshui River on weekdays, so it's not strange to dress like this." I'm here to wait for you because I know that Judjin is going to meet you this afternoon, and if you still live there, I still won't show up. ”

I whispered, "Sikong is worried that Qiu Zhen might be bad for me?" ”

The guard nodded unabashedly and said: "Qiu Zhen has not dared to make public the matter of your coming to Huo Country these days, and he naturally has some plans in his heart, I don't know what he wants to do, but with my understanding of him for many years, I know that his selfishness is very heavy, if after weighing the pros and cons, he feels that Gongzi will do more harm than good to him, maybe he will change his original intention." ”

I smiled indifferently and said, "It seems that I am not the right person in his heart!" ”

The guard didn't speak, his eyes were focused on the water, the bamboo pole bent up again, I stopped talking, looked at the river, the fishing rod straightened again, the guard sighed in a low voice: "Escape!" ”

Although the bait had been eaten, the guards had no intention of putting on a new bait, and handed the rod to me: "Qiu Zhen and I are not political enemies, but we have different views. The guard stretched out his hand and pointed to the passers-by passing by in the distance: "After so many years of civil strife, the whole country is actually on the verge of collapse, if it were not for the mutual containment of the forces of Qin, Jin, and Yan, Huo would have perished." ”

I nodded approvingly.

Wei Wei said: "Qiu Zhen thinks that Huo Guo needs a monarch, and I confirm that if Huo Guo has a monarch, I am afraid that the country will perish more quickly." ”

In fact, I also have the same idea as the guards, according to the agreement between me and the Qin State, the condition for the Qin State to support me is to become a vassal state of the Qin State, so that there is no difference between the dead country.

The guard said in a low voice: "Does Gongzi really want to become the king of Huo Kingdom?" ”

I was slightly stunned, and I didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wei Wei sighed and said, "I heard that the reason why Gongzi agreed to become the monarch of Huo Country is because he wants to destroy Ji Mu's plan and avenge your mother, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Sikong is right!"

Wei said calmly: "Gongzi is for personal revenge, but have you ever thought about what will happen to the people of Huo Country if you become the monarch as you wish?" He said loudly: "Whether Ji Mu or you, or anyone surnamed Ji becomes the monarch of Huo State, the suffering of the people of Huo State will continue, Qin, Jin, and Yan will not give up their ambitions for Huo State, and Huo State will definitely face a war." ”

I asked rhetorically: "According to the commonplace, it is a good thing to let Qin, Jin, and Yan divide and eat Huo Guo?" ”

The guard looked at me with both eyes, and only nodded heavily after a long time before he nodded heavily and said: "In front of the son, I don't want to deceive, the old man does think that Huo Guo is better than going on like this, it is better to divide it into three parts and let the three kingdoms share the food!" ”

Damn, a dignified and powerful Sikong of Huo Guo actually said such a traitorous remark, doesn't this old man have any patriotism?

Wei said: "I am a native of Huo Guo, and my feelings for Huo Guo are deeper than anyone else's, but the reality is in front of us, even if we re-elect the monarch, even if our courtiers try their best to be loyal, we can only delay the demise of Huo Guo, and it is absolutely impossible to avoid it fundamentally." There were faint tears in his eyes: "The old man has been an official for forty-six years, and all he sees is the bloody slaughter around the struggle for royal power, and all he sees is the misery of life, and the people of Huo Country are too bitter...... Since we no longer have the ability to let the people live and work in peace, why not let it go? ”

My heart shook violently, the words of the guard hit my heart like a hammer, if from the position of Huo Guo, Wei Wei may not be a patriotic and loyal courtier, but his point of view is from the people's livelihood, he thinks of the thousands of people of Huo Guo, Huo Guo's system has obviously been corrupted, as Wei Wei said, her demise is a fact that no one can change, why delay the arrival of this moment, why let the people suffer more?

The guard said earnestly: "Sending Huo Guo out can also deal a heavy blow to Ji Mu, and it can also sabotage his plan, what does Gongzi think?" ”

I was silent for a long time before I smiled and said, "Sikong is persuading me to become a sinner in Huo Guo, a sinner in the royal family surnamed Ji!" ”

"But you are the benefactor of the people!"

I looked up at the white clouds in the sky, after listening to the words of the guard, my mood suddenly relaxed a lot, since I came to Huo Guo, I was deeply troubled by everything I saw in front of me, I have thought many times, if I really become the monarch of Huo State, how to let this country survive, how to gain the trust of officials, the respect of the people, and how to make this poor country slowly become stronger and richer, this series of problems repeatedly troubled my heart.

The words of the guards made me look at everything in Huo Guo from another angle, since I can't reverse its fate, why not let it go? The trend of historical development is finally unified, Huo Guo is just a hurried passerby in the long river of history, even if it perishes, what is lost is just a name, but the people may be relieved of their suffering, and Ji Mu's conspiracy cannot succeed, which is indeed a great thing to kill two birds with one stone.

"Has Sikong consulted these ideas with other ministers?"

Wei Gong smiled indifferently: "In fact, most of the courtiers have already seen this, and they all understand in their hearts that the destruction of the Huo Kingdom is a good thing for the people, but no one is willing to stand up and say this sentence first, and no one wants to become the sinner referred to by Qianfu." ”

"Then why did Sikong find me?"
