My heart was shocked, according to the description of this old man, nine times out of ten, this person is a robbery, I looked carefully at the notice, this painting is indeed too clumsy, no wonder I didn't see it at first sight, but I remember that there is a black mole on the left side of the face, the picture has not been missed, as long as the robbery comes, it is enough to prove that Xi Shi Zheng Dan and those people have been sent to the country of Wu, I can't imagine that this kid is so affectionate, and he still remembers Zheng Dan.

Kaoli saw that my expression was different, and said to the old man: "Uncle, we came all the way from Chu State, and now we are sleepy and tired, is there a tavern around here?" ”

The old man smiled heartily: "Go to my house, only me and my wife are at home, I will ask her to cook you something to eat." ”

Following the old man to the hut by the stream, I asked Yingluo to take out some scraps of gold for the old man to buy lunch.

The old man and the old lady caught a few ducks, and Yingluo helped to make the stove and cook, and after an hour they were ready to stop.

The old man took out the wine he had brewed and entertained us, and I talked with the old man while drinking, and only after asking did we learn that the old man's eldest son and second son were both killed in the battle of Yue Wu, and the younger son is still serving in the state of Wu.

The old man said angrily: "If there is no war, my three sons would have stayed with me in a dignified manner. ”

I said softly: "Now that the state of Wu is so strong, the country should be stable for a while." ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Stability, where is there a stable place in the world?" In my opinion, this Wu Yue is only afraid that there will be another war. ”

I was slightly stunned, I couldn't imagine that this old man in the village could actually see that war was coming.

The old man said: "Yue Guo sent a hundred beauties this time, I heard that they will arrive in Gusu City soon, the king accepted this generous gift from Yue Guo calmly, but he didn't know that this was Gou Jian's beauty plan, he wanted to make the king indulge in women's sex, waste political affairs, and push the entire Wu country into the abyss of no return." ”

I couldn't help laughing, an ordinary old man can see through it, but the husband can't see it clearly, it seems that the future defeat of Wu Guo should be a doomed ending.

When the old man saw me laughing, he thought that I didn't believe his words, and said loudly: "That Yue King Goujian, as the king of a country, was willing to enter Wu as a slave, and watched the horses in the stone house, such a shame even the common people couldn't bear, why did he do this?" It was clearly to confuse the king and was able to return to the Yue Kingdom. ”

I nodded and said, "The old gentleman's words do make sense. ”

The old woman next to her smiled and said, "Don't listen to this old man's nonsense, what do national affairs have to do with us ordinary people?" Do you just want to ask and ask? ”

The old man sighed and said, "I hope there is no war!" ”

When I left, the old woman asked me to bring some clothes for her little son, and I agreed to it.

The old woman instructed: "My youngest son asked Zhuan Cheng to guard the west gate in Gusu!" ”

I smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely hand over the clothes to him by hand." ”

Three days later, we finally arrived at Gusu, the capital of Wu State, and I kept my promise to the mother-in-law to enter Gusu from the west gate, and her son Zhuancheng was still the little leader of the city, and after receiving the clothes, he was quite moved, and specially asked the commander for leave, and invited us to drink.

With the help of the contractor, we easily rented a house, settled down, and settled down in the happy house not far away, and ordered some local specialties to wash the dust for us.

Zhuan Cheng has been serving in Gusu for two years, and is quite familiar with everything here, and he introduced me to the people and things here, and he described it vividly and eloquently, and it was extremely funny, which caused us to burst into laughter from time to time, and I didn't expect his eloquence to be so good.

"What kind of business is Lu Gongzi doing this time?"

I smiled and said, "I'm going to buy a batch of silk!" ”

"Although Wu is the hometown of silk, the price is not cheap, looking at Wu country, the most expensive silk belongs to Gusu." Many of today's silk merchants have gone to Yueguo, where the goods are comparable and the prices are much cheaper. ”

I secretly said in my heart: "This Yue Wang Goujian really spared no effort to develop the economy. I smiled and said, "I can't hide it, I'm here to buy silk, and I'm here to meet someone." ”

"Who?" Curiosity said.

"Dazai Boya!"

Zhan Cheng was slightly stunned: "Dazai? He is the most favored courtier in front of the king! ”

I nodded and said: "Dazai Bo Yao was originally a native of Chu, the grandson of Bozhou Li, and the son of Zuo Yin Bo Xiwan, these two are famous ministers of our Chu State, and later the king listened to the slander and killed the entire Bo clan, Bo Yao escaped by luck, and later got Wu Zixu's sponsorship to enter Wu as an official. ”

Zhuan Cheng smiled: "Speaking of which, Dazai and the doctor are all from the Chu State!" ”

I smiled and said: "Not only the Wu State, but even the important ministers of the Yue State, Fan Li and Wen Chong, are also from the Chu State!" ”

Zhuan Cheng sighed: "If it weren't for the mixing and abuse of traitorous ministers by the King of Chu, the State of Chu must have been the most powerful among the princes by now. ”

I said calmly: "These monarchs are in high positions, and they naturally look at things from a different angle than us, and the questions of who are loyal ministers and who are traitors are extremely simple questions for our common people have become the most difficult things for them to distinguish. ”

Zhan Cheng said: "Bo Yao is the Dazai of Wu State, and his status is noble, I can't take Gongzi to go there in person, but his house is not far from here, and Gongzi only needs to inquire to find it." "When I heard that I had a relationship with Bo Yao, I became much more cautious in my words.

I pretended to be casual and asked, "I heard that Yue Guo sent a hundred stunning beauties to the king, I don't know if it's true or fake?" ”

Zhuan Cheng smiled bitterly: "Naturally it's true, now this matter is spreading, I heard that this matter is being discussed fiercely in the palace in the past two days." No, even our task of defending the city has been strengthened a lot. ”

I laughed and said, "When we passed through my brother's hometown, we once encountered a Wu army, according to them, looking for robbers who intended to rob beautiful women. ”

Zhuan Cheng sighed and said, "It may not be a bad thing to snatch it. He seemed to realize that he had talked too much, and got up and said goodbye: "I can't stay for long, and when I relax in two days, I will visit my son." ”

I smiled and got up to say goodbye.

Bo Yao became my preferred target to approach, and although there was no definite news of Linglong, I had to prepare for a rainy day and prepare everything in case anything unexpected.

Bo Yao is a famous traitor in history, it can be said that the defeat of Wu was single-handedly contributed by him, if it wasn't for the fact that he received the benefits of the Yue people and desperately tried his best to relieve Gou Jian in front of his husband, maybe Gou Jian would have been killed a long time ago, and it was possible to continue his career as a horse watcher. He can do such a traitorous act, what else can't he do? As long as I impress him with enough gifts and sincerity, Bo Ya should be a friend who will soon be able to make friends.

The next morning, I took a generous gift and went to Dazaifu accompanied by Kaori, and I was right, Bo Yao was very famous in Gusu, and his mansion was about three miles from where I lived, and it was an extraordinary garden, and two sturdy samurai stood on either side of the gate, and their eyes were full of arrogance.

I specially purchased a luxurious four-seater carriage, and the façade work was still needed, and the two samurai saw my luxurious car, and saw that I and Kaoli were beautifully dressed and extraordinary, and the arrogant expressions on their faces suddenly subsided a lot. One of the people on the left said loudly, "What's the matter with the two of you?" ”

I smiled and said, "In Xia Luyuan, I am from the Chu country, and I specially came to visit Dazai!" ”

One person on the right said coldly: "There are countless people who come to visit Dazai every day, do you think Dazai is so easy to see?" ”

I winked, and Kaoli stepped forward and quietly slipped a piece of gold into each of them.

What kind of master and what kind of slave is it, the two samurai immediately became eyebrows and smiled, and the samurai on the right said: "I'll go and report to Childe, but it's hard to say if Dazai wants to see you." ”

I smiled and said, "I'm tired of this brother, you tell Dazai, my grandfather used to be a groom in the Chu State Mansion." ”

He quickly reported back, and said to me: "Master Lu, Dazai is in a good mood today, I heard that you are the old man of Chu State, please come in." ”

I followed him into the gate, but I saw a beautiful small lake at the entrance, and the wind blowing in the lake made people feel comfortable, winding along the winding path paved with pebbles, and the green weeping willows on both sides of the road rose and fell with the wind from time to time, like green silk, and the flowers everywhere exuded a refreshing fragrance.

In the depths of the shade of the trees in the distance, the eaves of the pavilions and pavilions are faintly revealed, although this Bo Yao is not a good thing, the taste of life is really not low.

From time to time, there were laughter and laughter on the small lake, but it was a few charming girls in red dresses holding wooden barrels through the lotus flowers. The ladies noticed my unbridled gaze and threw me flattering glances, if I would have been teasing in normal times, but here the occasion is different, it is better to be honest.

Walking slowly into the water pavilion of the small lake, I saw a man in a white silk robe lying on the ground mat in the middle of the water pavilion, and two young girls were massaging him.
