Chapter 896: Wuzhong Swordsman
Wu Wangfu was six years apart, on the first day of the first month of June, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River was as hot as ever, Gou Jian, who had worked hard for three years, was finally pardoned and left Wu, Wu Wangfu sent him to Gusu outside the snake gate, Gou Jian knelt in front of the husband, and swore by his shoes that he "If he can return to the country alive, he is willing to die under the king with the disciples of the lion, the sky is firm, and the minister does not dare to bear!" ”
Fucha was very satisfied with Gou Jian's deference, turned his head sideways and smiled triumphantly at Bo Yao, Wang Sun Luo and others: "Wu Guo has another king." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In his eyes, the future Yue Kingdom will exist as a small vassal of the Wu State, attacking and destroying the human country, but not destroying its society, he seems to regard himself as the ancient benevolent king.
Under the welcome of everyone's words, only the white-haired Wu Zixu watched with a cold face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Gou Jian only did not dare to look at Wu Zixu, he bowed down again, King Wu personally sent him to board the car, Fan Li was in charge, under the escort of Wu Guojiashi, towards the south.
Although the two countries of Wu and Yue are connected from end to end, but from Wucheng to Huiji, there are also more than 300 miles away, after crossing the five lakes, as well as the previous Wu and Yue divide the territory with Li, the soldiers sent by the husband will go back, and Gou Jian and his party have to continue to move forward to meet the greeter.
Because as the "Yue Jun" under the rule of King Wu, his "fiefdom" is only a hundred miles in size, from the east to Tandefu, the west to Zhouzong, the south to the mountains, and the north to the sea. Of course, the vast mountains and forests east and south of Huiji Mountain are still in fact controlled by the Yue Kingdom. Gou Jian, he is not only the king of the Yue people, but also the co-owner of all the Yue ethnic groups in the inner and outer Yue, and the sphere of influence can reach the northern part of Fujian in later generations, which is also the hidden power that Gou Jian can rely on after returning to China.
On the fifth day of departure, when the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom came to the ferry port of Sanjin, only the Wu Guoxing who led them was left around, and they couldn't wait for the large army, so they went to the front in advance to negotiate with the small officials at the ferry.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Gou Jian, a man who had suffered a lot of hardships in the past three years but did not shed a single tear, suddenly burst into tears and was overwhelmed with grief.
When he entered Wu as a slave, he went north from Sanjin, and Gou Jian's mood at that time was extremely gloomy, because he couldn't see the future. And now that the three-year period of humiliation has expired, Gou Jian has regained his freedom, and those unbearable humiliations have become history.
On the river water at the mouth of Sanjin, what he tasted was no longer the smelly feces, but the tears of joy that he had survived the catastrophe.
"The king......" Fan Li and others can finally call him a king.
Gou Jian wiped away his tears, sighed for a long time, and told Fan Li and others beside him with ups and downs: "When I was lonely, I passed through Sanjin, and I didn't know if I could live to cross this Tianjin again." Young uncle, you are good at divination, now it is the first day of June, the time is increasing, the widow has been ordered by heaven, and he has returned to his hometown, can there be trouble in this trip? ”
Fan Li encouraged King Yue and said: "Don't be confused, the king can return to the country by staring at the front and walking along the road all the way, the situation will change in the future, the more blessed Wu will be, Wu Dang will have worries, and what hardships and worries can be greater than what the king has suffered in the past three years?" ”
"Not bad, not bad!" Gou Jianfu laughed again: "The widow is like the bird in the cage, the fish in the net, this line, like a fish into the sea, the bird in the sky, not bound by the cage net!" ”
……
The group was eager to return to China, so they quickened their pace, and when the sun was in the west, they arrived at the Sanjin Ferry.
The ferry port is an ordinary Ozu, with low houses and more than a dozen boats, all tethered to the shore. Because the sky was overcast, the officials wore hats and robes, and burned a pond with three or five boatmen to roast fish, and when they saw Gou Jian and his party from afar, they got up to greet them.
Fan Li squinted his eyes and looked around, and the rest of the people did not doubt him, walked over to talk to the officials, and asked if there was a big boat that could let the car of King Yue and his wife drive the whole way.
The face of the official was black and full of mud, and he said: "It is unfortunate that the honored guest came, there were originally two large ships, one was destroyed by fire, and the other went downstream, only a small boat remained, and the car was too heavy, so it could only accommodate one car, and four people could take the boat." ”
This meant that Gou Jian and his wife had to board the ship without a guard.
Najin official's voice was hoarse, saying that he was going to approach Gou Jian, and stretched out his hand to ask him to board the boat, but was stopped by Fan Li.
"Where are the people of Wu Guoxing?"
"The superior instructed us to beckon the distinguished guests to cross the river, and we went over first." "It was he who took the big boat and left only the small boat." ”
Gou Jian's face was gloomy, and he had long been accustomed to the neglect of Wu Guo's bureaucrats, and he was helpless about it, he just wanted to board the boat quickly, and go downstream for an hour, so that he could get closer to Yueguo, hear the surging waves of Zhejiang, and see the gulls and herons and the sky in Yuedi.
But Fan Li was a little vigilant.
He looked at the officials: "There are scars on your hands, not from Zhouji, but from years of ......sword practice."
The Jin official was not afraid, he retracted his hand back into his cuffs, and smiled under his beard: "The villain used to attack Chu from the first king in his early years, and when he was older, he got an errand for a Jin official. ”
"If this is the case, why are the chariots and horses of the Wu Kingdom hidden behind the house? Why are there still people in the river? ”
Fan Li heard the faint neighing of the horse earlier, although it was fleeting, it became more and more strange. And the rut marks on the ground did not reach the shore, but turned to the back of the house, which is also inconsistent with what this person said, not to mention that there are two reed poles by the river, according to Fan Li's experience, there are definitely people breathing below!
At the end of the words, Fan Li's sword suddenly came out of the sheath, and it was already on the chest of the Jinguan, and with a slight stroke, a fairer skin was revealed inside, which was by no means the skin that the Jinguan who had been tired all day and ushered in the Jin.
"Wait, are you thinking about imitating the monopoly and wanting to leave!?"
"The doctor's suspicion is really serious......" The Jin official still smiled, but he kicked violently under his feet, and the person had jumped two steps away, and Fan Li's sword couldn't catch up.
"Jinyi" shook the bamboo paddle in his hand, and pulled out a sword hidden in it, the sword body is light and thin, thin as no edge, bright as autumn water, and it is also a sharp weapon, how can there be such a sword?
He turned the tip of the sword upside down, held the hilt of the sword in his right hand, put his left hand on the back of his right hand, and bowed to Gou Jian, who was already surrounded by attendants, and Fan Li, who was standing at the front.
"I can see that we don't arrange, it's really worthy of the young uncle of Chu, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that Yue Jun is not the only one who is going to die here today!"
With a whistle, the three inconspicuous boatmen also removed their disguises one after another, revealing their true faces, all of them were swordsmen in strong suits. Then two of them jumped up from the river, their soaked clothes clinging to their muscled bodies, and they rushed to the shore with daggers in their wet hands. In the end, the two jumped out of the window of the room, and there were blood stains on their bodies, they tied up the Wu Guoxing, hid the car, and killed it with a sword in order to prevent the horse from neighing, which happened to make Fan Li hear the last whimper.
A total of eight people, lined up in a row, blocked the car on foot, under the leadership of the "Jin officials", they walked slowly with swords, and while walking, they also sang in unison in Wu language:
"My sword is sharp and the enemy is fearless, and my sword is swift and the enemy is leaderless!"
……
Gou Jian's face was solemn, knowing that he had met an assassin on this trip, so he asked his wife to return to the car, while he himself stood on the car and watched with his sword.
The eight swordsmen came over in unison, but their bodies moved, and they went in different directions like birds scattered.
Although there are more than ten people around Gou Jian, most of them are vertical people, slaves and maids sent by the literary genre to take care of him and his wife's daily life, but there are only eight swordsmen who can fight, plus Fan Li, it is only nine people, seeing the enemy's movements, the target is like Gou Jian in the middle, and he also holds a sword to intercept it.
Nine against eight, it seems that there is a slight advantage, but after the fight, it is not the case at all.
Yue Wang Goujian is also a good sword person, can see that the swordsmanship of the eight swordsmen is completely different, some of the defensive moves are extremely tight, and some of the offensive moves are fierce and ruthless, they split up and attack, the defender entangles the enemy, only one person remains, let the attacker be outnumbered, eat and kill one by one. In this way, even if the guards of Gou Jian are brave and fearless, the swordsman's side will also have a chance of winning. Not to mention eight against nine, even if it is eight against sixteen or even dozens of people, I am afraid that I can win.
The sword light flickered, blood splashed, and another guard of Gou Jian fell, he was hit by four swords, and he was killed instantly, only to see his eyes wide open, and his mouth was also wide open, with a trace of unwillingness.
Their number is getting smaller and smaller, and in the face of the fallen lives, Gou Jian's mood does not fluctuate at all, nor does he bear it for a moment, he is just thinking, who is going to kill himself? Who would be able to find out about the eight dead men like this?
Is the husband bad? It is unlikely, the one who wants to kill himself is probably Wu Guoxiangguo Wu Zixu.
Haha, this white-haired old man, he still doesn't let himself go even after he is here, but it's also quite similar to his style, Wang Bureaucrats and Qingji, aren't they all plotted to death like this.
But in the midst of the chaotic battle, the wrist of the leading assassin in the cloth shook, and with a pop, the tip of the sword pierced the throat of a Yue swordsman, and the blood in his throat suddenly spurted, and his body couldn't help twisting in the ground.
He had killed three people in a row, but he was unharmed, and he approached King Yue step by step......
The killing intent is awe-inspiring, but with a touch of cruel elegance, this is the style of a swordsman in Wuzhong.
Although Fan Li's swordsmanship is not bad, he has been hit a few times, and he is still entangled by two of them, unable to withdraw. The maid beside Gou Jian even pulled out her close-fitting dagger and rushed forward, but to no avail, she was just wiped out by the enemy's sword with a sword.
He was only ten steps away from Gou Jian.
Gou Jian's sword slammed out of the sheath, and the surrounding light suddenly trembled, this sword is called "Hao Cao", which is the sword that Xue Candle looks down on the most, saying that it is "dim and dull, and its light is gone, and its god is dead"...... However, it is also a sharp weapon, so after the siege of Huiji, it was brought back to Gusu by the Wu people as a trophy. On the occasion of Gou Jian's return to China, Fucha left a better Chunjun, Juque, and Ligong, and only "returned" the sword to him.
Even if it is the inferior one in the sword pile, it is better than nothing, and it should be enough to deal with the assassin in front of you.
The four eyes met, and the swordsman in the cloak did not speak, and with a swing of his sword, he threw off the blood stuck to it, and then rushed towards Gou Jian, who jumped off the car. The white light flashed, followed by a bang, the two swords intersected, and the two of them each took a step back.
The swordsman looked at the small gap in the sword, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You think that no one in Yue Country is good at swords!?"
When Gou Jian did not succeed to the throne, he was also a warrior of the Yue Kingdom! I just hope that ability hasn't regressed too much.
Now there are still dozens of miles away from the border of the Yue Kingdom, so that every day should not be called the earth and the earth is not spiritual, the battle is comprehensively inferior, the hero is difficult to defeat with four hands, I am afraid that I will die under the same assassination as Wang Gong and Qingji, but I don't know, what will be the name of the sword that killed me?
Gou Jian had a hard time, clenched his sword, and prepared to fight one last time, and before he died, he could drag a few more people to make a cushion.
At this moment, a clear song sounded from the river.
"What is the night? Boat in the middle of the stream......"
"What day is it? You have to be in the same boat with the king......"
It is the language of the Yue people, the song of the Yue people.
Revealing her figure from the mist on the river was a woman, a Yue girl holding an emerald green bamboo pole and holding a bamboo raft!
