Chapter 282: The Long Night Waits for the Dawn
The sun is setting, and it is already dusk.
Kong Qiu's belongings had been loaded, it was still an ox cart, and several disciples were still standing silently by the cart waiting.
Kong Qiu stood alone under the porch, looking at the skyline like the setting sun, and his whole person was faintly covered with a layer of red.
Zilu quietly walked up to him, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Master Confucius, let's ...... It's time to go......"
Kong Qiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he sighed and said: "Being snubbed by the king is really not the original intention of the king, how can Kong Qiu bear to abandon it." We...... Let's wait. ”
Zilu's surname has always been straightforward, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but be impatient and said, "Master Confucius, what are we waiting for?" Could it be that he is waiting for a few fights from this scattered doctor? Confucius was the teacher of the monarch, and when the monarch ascended the throne, he was the master of Confucius as the ceremonial official and single-handedly planned. Now that the monarch has ascended the throne for three years and changed the Yuan for two years, Confucius is not invited to participate, how can there still be Confucius in his heart? ”
When the disciples heard Zilu's generous speech, they all looked over here. Kong Qiu's face turned red for a while, and it took a while to hold back a sentence: "And...... Wait, the king now says that the sacrifice is over, and he should distribute the sacrificial meat to the doctors. If there is my share, then it means that there is still a place for Confucius in the king's heart, and I don't have to leave. ”
When Zilu saw the teacher say this, he was still indignant, but he didn't dare to say more, so he had to flick his sleeves and retreat.
The sky was even darker......
By the Surabaya River, there was a vast expanse, and the moon had just revealed a clear light.
Kongqiu's car stopped by the river, and the disciples went around cutting down grass and trees to prepare for the construction of a nest.
Kong Qiu walked alone to the side of the flowing Surabaya River.
The portion of sacrificial meat that should have belonged to him was not delivered to the house. Kong Qiu finally despaired, so he left Qufu with his disciples.
Standing by the Surabaya River, Kong Qiu was at a loss in his heart, now that he has left the country of Lu, where can he go in the future? Where can I express my retribution?
Qi country, once been. However, although Qi Xiangyan Ying, who had different political positions, was his long-time friend, he did not appreciate his political opinions, and as a result, he returned home. The Jin Kingdom has been divided, and the five kings have established their own countries, ambitious and want to fight for greater territory, and will never appreciate his royal rule. The lord of Chu is suspicious, and the ministers are in charge......
In these turbulent times, he will be even more useless. The "depressed and depressed" Zhou Dynasty has gone from Yaohuang to decline, the system of "rites" and "music" has collapsed, more and more people no longer abide by the duty of respect and humility, and there are ambitious rebellious ministers and thieves everywhere.
His mind was immersed in the dream-like and beautiful world of the Zhou Gong era, and Kong Qiu was fascinated for a long time before he was awakened by a wisp of evening breeze that gradually became cool. Everything is gone forever, and this world can never return to his ideal excess.
Looking down at the river that came and went, Kong Qiu's sigh was as desolate as the night wind:
"The deceased is like a husband! Reluctant to ...... day and night"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Pengcheng.
Bright moon, clear spring, stone.
The night still carries a bit of summer heat, but after all, it has entered the autumn season, the wind blows slowly, the sound of gurgling spring water flows in the ears, the bright moon like a silver plate is low and low under the sky, and the silver light is pouring like mercury everywhere. Such a beautiful and picturesque night is already exhausting, not to mention that there is a peerless beauty by his side.
Her soft hair swayed in the wind, and her eyes were as hazy and beautiful as the stars. But the most touching thing about her body is not her appearance, but her perseverance and suppleness, and arrogance with charm.
The breeze stirred her long hair and clothes, almost drifting into the Moon Palace with the wind. The bright moon in the sky is as bright as a fairy, and the fairy on the stone is graceful like the bright moon in the sky, what is the wind and moon? This is Fengyue, right......
"The Jin Kingdom used to be a country, and the relationship between various places was constantly involved, but now the Jin Kingdom is divided into five parts, many people still need to move, and the national borders are not clearly demarcated, so it is not a matter of time and a half to resolve these disputes. When these problems are solved, they will inevitably kill each other to seek greater benefits, so ...... In the future, there will be no more threats to the country as much as it was at the beginning. If Wei Guo can hold out in front of the powerful Jin State until now, he will be able to continue to hold on, and the situation is much better, congratulations. ”
Nanzi stared at Qingji deeply, she was not wearing a formal robe, she was very casually wearing a pure black soft silk cannon, the silk robe dragged to the ground, but because of her sitting posture, a pair of graceful white calves were exposed, shining in the moonlight.
"You ......" Nanzi bit his lip and said softly: "Please ask the king to borrow the true purpose of the Qin soldiers, I believe the king already knows, you...... Don't you blame me? ”
"Why blame you? The Jin Kingdom in the far northwest is in chaos and does not matter to my Wu Kingdom, although you didn't tell me the real reason, you didn't harm me, did you? Am I that stingy? ”
Qingji laughed, and Nanzi tilted his head sideways, squinting at him like a little bird. She didn't pull up her hair in a bun, and in front of Qingji, she was dressed casually like a little wife who accompanied her husband to enjoy the cool by the clear spring on the stone, not a princess in a foreign country and a lady in a foreign country.
Her dark hair was scattered over her thin shoulders, her face was pale, and her dark eyes were also shining. With her, it seems that the bright moon in the sky has also lost its color, and the otherworldly beauty at this time is no longer like the face that the mortal world should have.
After a long time, she asked softly, "Really?" ”
"Really!" Qingji said seriously: "Liuqing destroyed the Jin, the strong Jin fell, the entire Central Plains will enter an eventful autumn, the Qin State suddenly lost a strong enemy blocking the way, and may not be willing to retreat in Guanzhong to develop with peace of mind, the Qi State is ready to plot the hegemony of the world, and the northern Rongdi barbarian country will not miss the opportunity, and it is bound to gradually penetrate into the Central Plains." The small and medium-sized countries will reorganize their forces, on the one hand, to strengthen themselves and protect themselves, and on the other hand, to join forces to resist strong enemies. The disintegration of the Jin Kingdom has made the world a world of great contention where all flesh and blood have contention, which is an opportunity that has not been seen in the world of Zongzhou for 600 years. Even if I knew your true purpose, I would have done my best to help. ”
"The king is aspiring to the world?"
Qingji smiled slightly: "The ambition of a man, since he is the king of a country, why not make a hegemon?" ”
Nanzi sighed lightly: "Qi Huan, Jin Wen, Qin Mu, Chu Zhuang, and my ancestor Xianggong of the Song Kingdom, have all successively dominated the princes, and the king is interested in this, so it is no wonder that Huaisi is taken in the north and Jianghan in the west." The king has great ambitions, and I hope that one day, the grand plan will be displayed. ”
Speaking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said faintly, "I...... When I left Gusu, I was worried that because I used you, the king would be annoyed with me and hate me, and I would never have the opportunity to see you again in my life. ”
She raised her face, looked at the bright moon in the world, and said softly: "At that time...... I don't have any hope left, I just want to do everything I want to do. When I killed Zichao, I seemed to die with that arrow. I really didn't expect it...... You will still see me. When I saw your messenger, I was at first happy to death, and then I always thought that someone had lied to me, but I came without stopping. ”
Qingji smiled: "I'm really the one who is not afraid to deceive you, I just want to bring you here and then kill you to vent my anger?" ”
Nanzi turned her head and looked at Qingji deeply, her pale cheeks gradually regained their rosiness, although she couldn't see the two touching blushes clearly under the moonlight, but her charm changed in an instant, and she suddenly changed from a fairy-like unearthly beauty to a beautiful woman in the world who is happy and hateful.
"What does it matter, when your messenger arrived, he had already brought me back to life, even if it was only for a few days, I was alive again. So, I didn't even think about what you were going to do to me when I came, as soon as I arrived...... And it was. ”
She stared deeply at Qingji, confiding in her heart, her eyes were black and shiny, as clear as the dew on the petals of a spring morning. And that affectionate outpouring was like a soft spring breeze that stirred up the ripples of the pond, and finally the dew fell off and dripped on her white and flawless jade cheeks.
Qingji's breathing seemed to be about to stop, he really wanted to hold this poor woman who was struggling in the power field, but in fact, all he pursued all his life was a true love. But...... It's not the time, he is struggling, he really doesn't want to fall in love with a woman, and he has to be mixed with each other's interests.
He suppressed his feelings, turned his head slightly, and said, "This scene still needs the cooperation of the Song State until it ...... The news came that the two armies of Chu and Yue had reached the city of Gusu, and then the Song and Wu countries immediately settled the dispute and concluded an alliance.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Nanzi's eyes, and she changed the topic according to Qingji's meaning: "You...... Are you all set? The army is outside, and the Chu-Yue coalition army is attacking Gusu, will it really attack the city? ”
"Hehe, they can't do it anytime soon. I have fought Gusu City for several months, and I know exactly how strong it is, how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack. Besides, now there are Jinglin's men and horses in the city, and there are ministers such as Sun Wu, Fan Li, and Wen Chong, if my expectations are correct, the Chu Yue army may not attack Gusu City regardless of sacrifice. It is very likely that they will take advantage of the idea that I have no choice but to kill back as soon as possible even if I know that it is a plan after hearing the news, and use Gusu as bait to devour my big fish. ”
"Hmm......" Nanzi bowed his head slightly: "Unless they already know your plan, they will never think that you will repeat your old tricks, and the villain's army will go around their backs again from the sea and go straight to the capital of Yueguo." In that way, he was originally attacking you and would be saved, but it became that you attacked him and he was saved. It's just that...... When they invaded the state of Wu, they would inevitably cause some losses to the state of Wu. ”
"Yes" Qingji sighed, looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said: "When the moon is full in the sky, the moon on earth is more than halfway, how can everything in the world be perfect?" As long as...... If you can get huge and long-term benefits with a small effort, then the sacrifice that should be made still needs to be made. ”
Nanzi showed a sweet smile on his face: "But this time the king is relaxed." You are the first warrior of the Wu Kingdom, and you have always charged forward in leading the troops in battle, but this time you are staying here leisurely, and many vigorous and important things cannot be completed in your hands. ”
Qingji smiled and said, "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government." Now that I am the king, I have to do what the king should do. It is my duty to strategize and win thousands of miles. As long as things develop according to my intended purpose, although it is always those actors who are glamorous in the eyes of the world, the real protagonist is the director behind the scenes. ”
Nanzi blinked and asked suspiciously, "What protagonist, director?" ”
Qingji knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly smiled: "This ...... I'll tell you later. ”
"Later?"
Nanzi heard his voice, and a pair of eyes suddenly drifted away like a cloud covering the moon, and suddenly regained their brightness and agility. The radiance shown in that moment flew up, so that Qingji's heartstrings also "clicked", Nanzi was shyly looked at by Qingji's scorching gaze and bowed his head, hanging his head and said softly: "The sky is dark...... It's late, we ...... Let's go back and rest. ”
"I'm not tired yet, are you sleepy?"
Nanzi hung her head, her dark hair was draped over her shoulders like a spring, her eyes were also covered, and she could only see a little upturned nose, her voice was softer and softer, and she whispered in a nasal voice: "No, I just ...... I can't help but want you to explain it to me now......"
The reluctance in his tone and the over-chord sound made Qing Ji's heart pound, and the indescribable soft tone made Qing Ji even more uncontrollable, he couldn't help but give up his principles anymore, deceived the past, and hooked her chin with his fingers.
Nanzi raised his head obediently, his eyes were flustered with excitement, and his eyes were embarrassed in anticipation, the pair of slender and soft silk robes clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched, the cuteness of the little girl at a loss, and the unique taste of the elegant and mature beauty kneaded together, with a sweet style in the youth.
The aggression in Qingji's eyes became stronger, he slowly leaned over, Nanzi subconsciously supported the stone with both hands, leaned up, and tightened the curve of the beautiful and charming chest that had been hidden, and lifted up two graceful ** Jade Girl Peaks.
The tip of Qingji's nose almost touched the tip of her nose, and she whispered in a breathless voice: "This matter, that's a long story, let's ...... Where to start? ”
Nanzi's arms that were able to hold the strong bow trembled as if they couldn't support her body, and under Qingji's pressure, she stammered: "Big ...... Big...... Where does the king want to start......"
The curved eyebrows, big pretty eyes, with a shy and charming taste. The delicate and plump lips look like a ripe peach, and anyone who sees it can't help but want to take a bite.
So, Qingji leaned down gently, and when Nanzi closed a pair of wonderful eyes and her long eyelashes blinked frequently, she started with "taking a bite of a peach" and "told" the story.
Long nights, no intention of sleeping, I believe that this story will be told for a long, long time......
