On that day, Gongzi Ji Guang went down to the court, and when he returned to the house, a confidant sent a book of separation. Childe opened it and looked at it, and the letter said that the soldiers had arrived at the house, so he sent a waiter to invite the two to his house to meet.

Wu Yuanhe was left to the Childe's mansion, and at this time it was already dark, and the Son personally went out of the mansion to greet him. The guests and hosts sat down and served tea. Ji Guang ordered the waiter to retreat, and the son said: "The day before yesterday, I personally went to Yangshan to ask Mr. Wu for advice, and I benefited a lot. Mr. returned to Wu from the State of Chu, after thousands of mountains and rivers, I don't know if I have met a person with outstanding martial arts like Mr.? ”

The soldier replied: "This time, the soldier came to have good news to tell Childe. Just a few days ago, I befriended a warrior named Zhuanzhu, who has the courage of ten thousand people, and he will definitely be able to contribute to his son in the future. ”

Ji Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, so he asked for details.

"This Zhuan Zhu is a butcher, and I know each other in the market, and he is a native of Wu. There is an old mother at home, and she is extremely filial. And he is a righteous person, and he is a person who can accomplish great things for his son. ”

Ji Guang asked, "How does this dedicated warrior compare to Mr.?" ”

"What am I to do? Zhuzhu is the real warrior. I have made countless righteous men, and no one can overcome him. His residence is not far from here, and as long as the prince summons him, he will be able to come soon. ”

was deviated: "It is said that the person who is respected by Dr. Wu will definitely be not bad." It's just that this man is a butcher, brave but unscrupulous. If you don't do things secretly, you will suffer from them. ”

Wu Yuan said: "This person is not only strong in martial arts, but also bright and upright, chivalrous, and a virtuous warrior." ”

Ji Guang said: "How can you know people with a light background? As long as he has real talent and learning, I Ji Guang will treat him politely. Since Mr. strongly recommends it, he must not be an ordinary person. Why don't you ask Mr. for a referral and let me get acquainted with this dedicated warrior? ”

"I have been friends with him for eight years, and if I write a letter myself, he will be here tomorrow."

Ji Guang shook his hand and said, "Such a talent, how can I, Ji Guang, be summoned by books?" I'll go there and ask you in person. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Ji Guang shared a carriage with the soldiers, took a few retinues, and came all the way to Zhuzhu's house.

As soon as a group of carriages and horses arrived at the entrance of the alley, the soldiers got out of the carriage and went straight to the alley to look for Zhuanzhu. At this time, Zhuan Zhu was helping his neighbor slaughter pigs, and when he saw the noise of the carriages and horses, he didn't know what was going on, and he was preparing to hide. When the soldiers saw it from afar, they shouted: "My brothers, the foolish brothers are here!" ”

Zhuan Zhu heard the voice of the soldiers, so he stopped and came forward to greet him.

Zhuan Zhu asked, "Why is my brother here?" ”

The soldier pointed to a middle-aged man in a brocade robe on the carriage and said to Zhuan Zhu: "That's Ji Guang, the eldest son of the Wu State. I love my brother's hero, and I came to visit my brother. When the elder brother saw his kindness, he brought him to confess with the virtuous brother, please don't refuse. ”

At this time, Ji Guang had already gotten out of the car, and saw that Zhuan Zhu was wearing short clothes, with bare arms, strong muscles, and a majestic figure. And I saw that he had concave eyes and a wide face, and he was very heroic. So he saluted Zhuan Zhu and said: "Hearing the name of the chivalrous man, Ji Guang is a little abrupt today, and I hope the chivalrous man will bear with me." ”

I saw that the person who came was in his early thirties, with a tall figure, a handsome face, wearing a white brocade robe, and a graceful and luxurious temperament. So he also saluted: "I'm a small citizen, immoral and incompetent, where can I withstand the green eyes of the son?" So he invited Ji Guang and the soldiers into the house.

Ji Guang walked in front, and walked towards the house of Zhuan Zhu as shown by Zhuanzhu. I saw a wooden house and a thatched house, with a low lintel and a slanted door frame, which was indeed a poor home. Childe bowed his head and entered, without the slightest contempt on his face. He bowed to Zhuan Zhu first, and said: "I am a talented person, and I hate to see each other late." prepared some small gifts, and hoped that the righteous would not refuse. So he ordered some gold silk to be taken from the people as a gift of worship.

Monopoly is not accepted. The soldier persuaded on the side: "If the son has a lot of affection, the virtuous brother will accept it." The virtuous brother has a good ability, and it is good not to bury it. Today's son visited in person, so please don't have to excuse yourself. ”

Seeing that Ji Guang was very resolute, he accepted the gold silk and went in to serve his mother. The son went inside again to worship the mother of Zhuzhu, and his affection was very respectful.

The soldier and Ji Guang chatted with Zhuan Zhu for a while, talked about some admiration, said goodbye to Zhuan Zhu's mother and son, said goodbye, and went home with the soldier all the way.

Ji Guang said to the soldiers in the car: "Sir's eyesight is really not bad. This chivalrous man is low-key and extremely filial. This kind of person must be righteous and knowledgeable, not a reckless martial artist. It's a pity that countless people have been divorced, but they haven't met such talents. ”

Wu Yuan said: "Great talents are often hidden in the mortal world, which can be met but not sought. Although it is available, there is an old mother and a wife and children below. In the future, if it is used by Childe, I am worried that he will not be able to get out of it by then. I'm really a little worried, once Childe initiates an action, Zhuzhu will definitely be Childe's spear, how can it be preserved? ”

Ji Guang replied after a while: "As long as he is willing to contribute, I will definitely take care of his family." ”

After seeing off the son and the soldiers, he came to the back room to meet his mother. Zhuan Zhu's mother asked: "Today's son personally came to the door to invite, I think he has your intentions." What are my son's plans? ”

"My parents are here, not far away. I have an old mother in the hall, even if he uses it, I will talk about it later. Mother rest assured, I will be in my own way. ”

But the mother of the Zhuzhu said: "Entrusted by people, loyal to people." If my son has promised to serve him, how can he not keep his word? ”

Zhuzhu said: "The son has the ambition to reach the sky, and everyone knows it with a clear eye." The elder brother has defected to him, and the son must have something important to ask for. How dare I make a promise? Mother doesn't have to worry too much, I have my own plans. ”

Since then, Gongzi Jiguang often sent people to send cloth and silk property to Zhuan Zhu to supplement Zhuanzhu's family. I will also find a free time to visit Zhuanzhu's home in person, and greet Zhuzhu's mother, which is no different from treating my own mother, and is very courteous.

One day, Ji Guang put on civilian clothes, rode a horse and brought a servant to the house of Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu invited the son into the room and sat on the couch.

Zhuan Zhu said tentatively: "I am a market butcher, with no talent and no virtue. Childe treats us so kindly, it's really uneasy. I can't repay it, if the son has any sending, please tell the son bluntly, I will obey the order. ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Gongzi said: "After the first king Yi drove the throne, it stands to reason that the throne will be passed on to his uncle Ji Za. But Jizha is not subject to the country, and I, as the eldest son, should be the country. Unexpectedly, the king's bureaucracy was self-reliant, and now he had to make another plan. ”

"Childe is already in a high position, one person is above ten thousand. Now that the name of the monarch and the minister has been decided, what is the name of the picture? ”

Gongzi said: "The royal bureaucracy has a brutal temperament, and he is not suitable for being a king." If you don't get the right position, you are stealing the country! ”

"Why didn't Gongzi let his ministers give a direct advice to King Wu, saying that he would abdicate by the order of the first king? Why bother to keep a swordsman privately, in the name of rebellion? ”

Gongzi replied: "The royal bureaucracy has a greedy personality, and he ordered his own brother to be in charge of the army and horses of the Wu State, and the prince Qingji to be in charge of the forbidden army. Will he willingly step aside? If you disagree with him openly, you will definitely be poisoned by him. I'm at odds with him! But now I am weak and cannot fight against him, so I can only use the power of the righteous to try by extraordinary means. ”

Zhuan Zhu said: "Childe's words are also! But the old mother was in the hall, and he didn't dare to make a promise lightly. ”

Gongzi Ji Guang said: "Your mother is my mother, and I also know that your mother is young and young." But unless you can do it, I can't rely on it. I will nurture your old mother and young son with all my heart, how dare I bear it? ”

Thinking about it for a long time. He said: "Everything must be well planned, and you must not act rashly. The fish in the river can get into the hands of the fisherman because of the bait. If you want to attack and kill King Wu, you must have a chance to get close to him. I don't know if King Wu has any special hobbies? ”

"Good taste. King Wu is very fond of fish grilling. (A kind of grilled fish)"

Zhuzhu said: "If you want to get close to King Wu, you must like him, so I will learn the method of fish burning." Grilled fish is popular in the Taihu Lake area of China, and the taste is excellent. Since I went to learn the art of grilling fish, I had the opportunity to get close to King Wu, and then took the opportunity to try it. ”

Ji Guang nodded yes, so he arranged for Zhu to go to Taihu Lake to learn to grill fish without mentioning it.

Gongzi Jiguang summoned the soldiers and told them about the special things. Wu Yuan said: "Specializing in learning the art of fish burning can only be used as a way to get close to the king of Chu. Has Childe ever thought about what to do after assassinating the king? ”

Ji Guang was a little puzzled: "I want to hear the details, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

"Even if Zhuzhu can succeed in one blow, of course, this is the most hode assumption. After the assassination of the royal bureaucracy, will the prince be able to secure the throne? ”

Ji Guang said: "Assassinated the king, Wu has no owner." I should have taken over the throne in order, and everyone knows it, so why not? ”

Wu Yuan smiled: "Son, it's bad! I'll start with Qingji. The crown prince Qingji commanded the forbidden army, and was on guard by the king's side at all times to protect the safety of the king's bureaucrats. This celebration is like iron, and it is not a good thing. According to my understanding of Zhuan Zhu and Qing Ji, as long as he is by the side of the king, Zhuan Zhu has no chance to start, and even if he does, he will not succeed. This is one of them. ”

Ji Guang showed it with his eyes, frowned and thought about it, wanting to listen to the soldiers' next ......

The soldier continued to analyze: "Second, even if Zhuan Zhu is lucky enough to succeed and can take the life of the king, we will also take the opportunity to kill Qingji, this matter is still not appropriate. Let's say that the brother of the royal bureaucracy is hiding the remains, and the candle yong is holding a heavy army outside. If they get the news of Childe's assassination of the prince, they will definitely rely on the army in their hands to fight against Childe. At that time, the Wu State was in the midst of a civil war, which dealt a great blow to the country and would hurt the vitality of the Wu State. What good does Childe do to get such a mess full of holes? ”

After listening to the words of the soldiers, Gongzi suddenly opened his mouth and suddenly realized: "What Mr. said is very reasonable. The analysis is extremely thorough and incisive! I follow my husband's arrangement. ”

"You have to wait for the right opportunity, you have to have the right excuse, and you can adjust the celebration and cover up, etc., so that Childe's jihua can be implemented. In its current form, Childe is ready for everything, and as soon as the time comes, he will succeed. If you move lightly, not only will it be useless, but it will also bring about your own destruction. ”

"The gentleman's words are very good. Now that the time is not ripe, let's wait for the right time. Please go to the house to stay in the house first, so as not to be suspected. We'll talk about it later.

The soldiers said goodbye to their son Ji Guang and went to the house to be left the house.
