Regarding Bai Gongsheng's move, Xiong Yiyi agreed with Bai Gongsheng even more. The three of them talked freely in the simple thatched hut, and the more they talked about Bai Gongsheng, the more they wanted to recruit Xiong Yiyi, Bai Gongsheng felt that the heat was almost the same, and told Xiong Yiyi his intention and purpose, and then said: "If this matter is successful, you will be the great Sima of Chu State!" ”

But Xiong Yiyi frowned, and after half a sound, he shook his head resolutely.

Bai Gongsheng was a little annoyed and angry, seeing that the soft one was not good, he came to the hard one. "Boom!" Pulling out the sword at his waist with a bang, Bai Gongsheng put the cold and shining sword on Xiong Yifeng's neck, and asked, "Do you agree?" If you don't promise, I'll kill you! ”

But Xiong Yiyi was unmoved, motionless, just squinting and looking at Bai Gongsheng coldly.

Seeing Xiong Yiyi's appearance, Shi Qi sighed, and persuaded Bai Gongsheng: "Lord, forget it!" Xiong Yiyi is not moved by Lilu, is not afraid of threats, and does not disclose other people's words to please others, let's go! ”

Bai Gongsheng really likes people like Xiong Yifeng very much, and when he saw Shi Qi say this, he pushed the boat down the river to take back the sword and left with Shi Qi. Xiong Yiyi is indeed a righteous man, and after Bai Gongsheng and Shi Qi left, he did not go to the informant. How to live, how to live.

Bai Gongsheng saw that he was unsuccessful in recruiting Xiong Yiyi, so he and Shi Qi conspired to disguise 500 dead soldiers as prisoners of war in the name of offering prisoners and offering booty. And in April, there was also news that Zixi had destroyed the Bao Kingdom.

Bai Gongsheng calculated the deadline for a while, and only at this time did he send the news of the defeat of the Wu army to Zaiying, along with Bai Gongsheng's request to sacrifice prisoners and spoils of war.

Because when Bai Gongsheng received the news from Zixi, Zixi was already on his way back to China, and when Bai Gongsheng's performance turned back to Zaiying, it happened that Zixi had returned to Zaiying for only one day. King Chu Hui was overjoyed, he had always been worried about the war in Shenyi, but Chu did not have many troops now, so King Chu Hui could only be anxious. Unexpectedly, it was just discussed and asked Zixi to lead the troops and horses to support Bai Gongsheng, and Bai Gongsheng had already won a big victory. Bai Gongsheng was overjoyed and dismissed the soldiers.

Regarding Bai Gongsheng's request to Zaiying to sacrifice prisoners and spoils of war, King Chu Hui and Zixi agreed after discussing it.

In order not to make people suspicious, Bai Gongsheng did not bring many soldiers to Zaiying this time. On the bright side there were only 300 men and 500 prisoners of war, and 100 chariots. This made the last bit of suspicion of King Chu Hui dissipate.

But he didn't know that Bai Gongsheng had ordered that in ten days, Shenyi and the private soldiers of his fiefdom, a total of 15,000 people, would set off for Zaiying, even if it was too late for King Chu Hui to get the news.

When he arrived in Zaiying, Bai Gongsheng was not immediately able to offer prisoners and spoils of war to King Chu Hui. All this needs to be prepared, according to the time and arrangement of King Chu Hui, everything will be held in the palace of King Chu three days later.

Zixi invited Bai Gongsheng to live in his house, but Zixi didn't know that his move was to lure the wolf into the house.

The day before the court meeting, Bai Gongsheng was sharpening his sword. When Ziguo, the son of the child, saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked, and he had a bad feeling. asked Bai Gongsheng, "Wang Sun, what are you doing here?" ”

Bai Gongsheng didn't know if it was two. It's forced, or really pretending. Forced to overdo it, stood up, and said unashamedly: "You asked well! Sheng is famous for being straightforward, if you don't tell you, how can you be considered straightforward? I'm not afraid to tell you either. I sharpened my sword to kill your father! ”

When Ziguo heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around and ran away, telling Zixi about it. Zixi smiled disapprovingly when he heard this: "Sheng is like an egg, I protect him with my wings, after I die, the person who serves as Ling Yin or Sima is not Sheng, who else?" How could he kill me? ”

And after Shi Qi knew what Bai Gongsheng said, he immediately ran to see Bai Gongsheng and said to Bai Gongsheng: "Lord, how can you say such a thing to Wang Sun Guo (Ziguo)? ”

Bai Gongsheng said with a complicated face: "Because I am conflicted, my uncle is very good to me, I shouldn't kill him." But the revenge of killing his father, and the current [***] of the Chu State. I have to make a move, but I want to give my uncle a chance before that! ”

When Shi Qi heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless.

It is understandable for Bai Gongsheng to kill Zixi, and it is appropriate for Bai Gongsheng not to kill Zixi.

Why? As mentioned above, Bai Gongsheng's life experience, Bai Gongsheng's father, Prince Jian, intended to subvert Zheng Guo, but was discovered by Zheng Guoren in advance and killed. Bai Gongsheng naturally hated Zheng Guo very much, he returned to Chu State, so he begged Zixi: "Uncle, Zheng Guoren killed my father, killed your brother, killed the crown prince of Chu State, and begged you to send troops to Zheng Guo, Sheng is willing to be the vanguard!" ”

Zixi said: "Now that the king has just waited for the throne, everything in the Chu State has not yet been put on track, let's talk about it after a while!" ”

But after some time, the Jin State attacked the Zheng State, and out of consideration for the balance of the Jin State, Zixi led the troops to help the Zheng State and repelled the soldiers and horses of the Jin State. This made Zixi give Bai Gongsheng a sense of betrayal. This gave birth to Sheng's idea of rebellion.

But Bai Gongsheng has such a status today, but he is thanks to Zixi's great help. And Bai Gongsheng has always had clear grievances, so he said such a thing to Ziguo. It can be regarded as a kind of repayment to Zixi, but as for the consequences, Bai Gongsheng can't think about it so much.

And Zixi couldn't imagine that he ignored his son Ziguo's words, but it caused him to break the palace of Chu.

………… In order to protect Bai Gongsheng, Shi Qi slept with Bai Gongsheng neatly dressed up until the evening, when he got what Zixi said. Shi Qi relaxed.

Bai Gongsheng exhaled a complicated sigh, I don't know if he sighed for Zixi missed the opportunity, or he was relieved because he had survived the crisis, or both!

The sky had not yet dawned, and Bai Gongsheng was already dressed neatly, because he was going to meet King Chu Hui, he was not wearing a military uniform, but a set of robes embroidered with tiger stripes. But even so, it couldn't hide Bai Gongsheng's murderous aura, Bai Gongsheng looked at Shi Qi and asked in a deep voice, "Are you ready?" ”

"It's ready! Now it's just the waiting time! Shi Qi, who was dressed in military uniform, said calmly.

Bai Gongsheng walked to the corridor, looked at the gray sky, clenched his fists, and said categorically: "Today is over!" The state of Chu will be the world where I will win! ”

"It will definitely be!" Shi Qi followed out, looked at Bai Gongsheng's tall back, and said firmly.

"Hmm!" Bai Gongsheng nodded vigorously, and walked outside, Shi Qi followed closely behind Bai Gongsheng. I don't know why, the two have the illusion that there is no turning back behind them since they took this first step.
