In the afternoon of this day, Yi Wang, the head of the palace eunuchs, came to spread the parable of King Wu and summoned Gou Jian into the palace.

Gou Jian knew that it was unpredictable to go here, so he begged Yu Yiwang and said: "Gou Jian is going here, since it is more auspicious and less, please have mercy on me, give me half an hour, how about I explain a few words to my wife?" ”

Yi Wang is Bo Ya's confidant, and Ji Nong often dots and gives him a lot of gifts, so Yi Wang is naturally happy to give him a favor.

Gou Jian went back to the small hall with his wife Fengyi and General Fan Li to discuss.

Gou Jian looked at Feng Yi, who was dressed in coarse cloth in green clothes, wrapped her head in a cloth, and had no jewelry on her body. A pair of Qianqianyu hands have long been rough after several years of cooking. Gou Jian's nose was sour, and he said to Feng Yi with tears: "The widow is more auspicious than lucky, and the fate of my country is even more unpredictable." If King Wu wants to kill the widow, the widow should be the head. It's just that the widow is worthy of his wife and the ancestors of the Yue country! If Madame can return to China, she must think of keeping the temple of Yue Guo and raising our child Lu Ying to adulthood. Educate him well and make him a good master. ”

Feng Yi couldn't cry anymore after hearing this, and kept rolling up the corners of her clothes to wipe her tears.

Gou Jian said to Fan Li again: "If the widow can't come back, if the general still has a glimmer of life, he must live, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he must live!" The future of the country is in the general! ”

Fan Li persuaded: "The king has gone to the Wu Palace to meet the king of Wu, as long as he seizes the opportunity and adapts to the situation, he will have his own way of life." King Wu has the kindness of a woman, and this is his weakness. ”

Gou Jian said miserably: "Life and death have life, and wealth is in the sky." If it is the life of a few people. It is enough to be able to keep the temple of the Yue Kingdom alive! ”

After Gou Jian's words, he stabilized his mind. straightened up and came out speechless.

When the centurion class saw King Wu again, he sent a car to send Gou Jian into the palace to see the king.

The wheels sizzled, and Gou Jian knelt on the carriage, watching the trees on both sides of the official road fly by, and the road ahead was dangerous. Of vital importance; Looking back on my life, it was only 30 years, because of my impulsiveness and youthfulness. Got killed. Now that I think about it, what glory and wealth, what tens of thousands of people, are just passing by. And life is only once, if you can choose again. It's better to be an ordinary person. You can go through your life calmly, regardless of the rise and fall of his country and the changes of his situation!

When the car drove to the palace gate, a palace eunuch came to inform Gou Jian, saying that King Wu was seriously ill and should not be received, so Gou Jian had to temporarily live at the palace gate and wait for his husband's life.

In the Wu Palace, the husband's condition is getting worse day by day. Dazai Boyao entered the palace to visit King Wu's condition. Seeing King Wu's pale complexion. looked depressed, so he stepped forward to say hello.

King Wu saw Bo Yao come to visit him. My heart warmed up a little. He was bedridden for several days, and none of the ministers came to visit, not even the members of the Prime Army.

Wu Wangqiang cheered up, motioned to the palace ladies to help him up, and sat on the couch. finally leaned on the body of a palace maid and half-sat up, his head was dizzy, and King Wu had to close his eyes for a moment before he stabilized his figure.

Seeing King Wu like this, Bo Yao hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister came to visit today, and the king can lie down, why struggle to get up?" Don't you disperse the wind? ”

King Wu shook his hand, and said for a long time: "Dazai can come and ask about the disease of the widow, and he is a loyal minister!" The disease of the widow today is very dangerous. The Imperial Doctor cherishes it constantly, but it doesn't get better, Dazai thinks, what's wrong with the disease of the widow? ”

Bo Yao pondered for a while and said: "As the saying goes, 'good and bad are in the sky', a person's good and bad are the will of God, and the disease of the king is a kind of disaster from God. In this way, the heavens will naturally descend to the king. ”

"Did the widow do something that angered the heavens, so the heavens brought disaster upon the widows?"

"The minister heard that Yue Jun Goujian was prostrate at the palace gate for three days, and his feelings were pitiful. The day before yesterday, the king had the intention of killing the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, and this matter was not done by the benevolent monarch. Killing the king of a country is not a good thing, so the minister persuaded the king to temporarily pardon the king of Yue, and after the king recovered from his illness, how about doing something again? ”

King Wu pondered for a long time and sighed: "Disaster has suddenly struck, and the widow also feels it. What Aiqing said is extremely reasonable, the widow kills the innocent, and angers the heavens, so there is today's trouble! That's it, Dazai passed on the widow's order, and went back to the horse farm by Gou Jian, waiting for the widow to recover from his illness, and then doing the district. ”

Bo Yao said goodbye and left the palace, looked for Gou Jian outside the palace gate, and whispered: "Xianjun should go back to the horse farm first, the king is seriously ill these days, and it is not suitable to see each other." ”

After hearing this, Gou Jian was even more panicked and asked, "What did the king call me for?" Can Dazai tell me? ”

"The king listens to the words of the soldiers and wants to kill you, so he summons him. Just now I went in and asked the king about his illness, saying that killing innocents would cause disaster from heaven. I have already said that the king should go back to the horse farm first, and then make a decision after the king recovers from his illness. ”

"If King Wu wants to kill me Goujian, it's not like crushing an ant? But since Gou Jian entered Wu, he has been loyal to King Wu and has no second thoughts. Dazai, as a minister of the pillars of the Wu Kingdom, has a very personal relationship with King Wu, please have mercy on Dazai! ”

Bo Yao glanced around and said, "In my opinion, if the king can be cured, he will definitely not kill you again." It's just that on the side of the soldiers, you still have to be careful. As long as he can get through this difficulty, Xianjun will definitely have a time to return to the country in the future. ”

After Gou Jian listened, he thanked each other for a long time. Bo Yao continued: "The king had no intention of killing you, but he changed his mind because he couldn't force the soldiers. But he didn't want to suddenly get sick at this juncture, so the official seized this opportunity to persuade the king to come up with a delaying strategy. ”

Gou Jian thanked: "Dazai's kindness today, if Gou Jian returns to the country on the day, he will definitely repay him with a spring." ”

Bo Yao saw that there were many people at the palace gate, and it was not easy to say much, so he said goodbye to Gou Jian.

Gou Jian returned to the horse farm, Fan Li asked the reason, and Gou Jian told him in Bo Yao's words.

For Bo Ya's rescue this time, Gou Jian is grateful. At this juncture, Bo Yao was able to persuade King Wu to put the matter aside for the time being. As long as you buy more time, you have a much better chance of survival. Gou Jian understands that his life hangs by a thread, and Bo Yao is the person who handed him the thread, and he is the straw that lives.

Fan Li nodded and said, "It's really the blessing of the king!" Although the minister said that he expected that King Wu did not have the intention of killing us, he did not expect that Bo Yao would be able to help him so much and persuade King Wu. ”

Gou Jian sighed: "It's just that you still have to look at King Wu's condition to speak, in case King Wu's illness does not improve, maybe he will be angry with me, and it is unknown if he has regeneration of killing intent." ”

Fan Li said: "King Wu is seriously ill, either heal or drive." Bo Ya's strategy is very clever: if King Wu recovers, he will naturally believe Bo Ya's words, and he will not easily kill us; On the contrary, if King Wu is in control, the political situation of Wu will change, and as the days go by, we will have a chance to get out. Good plan, good plan! ”

Although Gou Jian was skeptical, the matter had come to this point, and there was no better way, so he just waited anxiously for the news in the palace.

However, for three months, the husband's illness still did not improve, but he was in a hurry. Gou Jian and Fan Li discussed: "If King Wu's illness does not heal for several months, King Wu will doubt the truth of what Bo Yao said, and if he repents, he will return to murder. The general is good at hexagrams, why don't you ask? ”

Fan Li is good at hexagrams, and the country is famous. At that time, divination was mainly based on yarrow and tortoise shell. The turtle is one of the four spirits along with the unicorn, phoenix, and dragon, and is a fetish that can talk to the gods. The unicorn, phoenix and dragon are not physical objects and are difficult to find, but the turtle is real and existent. In addition, on the tortoise shell, the mysterious texture of the outer square and the inner circle symbolizes the celestial phenomena and indicates the will of the heavens.

And the one who is good at divination is the one who can read the will of God.

But where to look for tortoise shells here? Fan Li couldn't, so he had to look for yarrow.

The ancient book says that yarrow "is five hundred years old and gradually dry, seven hundred years old without branches and leaves, nine hundred years old purple as iron, a thousand years old with purple gas, and a spirit dragon turtle lying below." "It seems that this yarrow is also a kind of sacred object.

So Fan Li found yarrow, bathed and changed clothes, worshiped heaven and earth, burned yarrow as a hexagram, and said: "King Wu is not dead, until his own day should be reduced, and Renshen day will be completely healed." ”

Gou Jian was overjoyed after hearing this, if this hexagram is the will of God, then fate has opened another window for himself. (To be continued......)
