Bo Yao defected to the army, and the two of them sympathized with each other and sympathized with each other - both were fugitive ministers of the Chu State, and were victimized by the traitorous minister Fei Wuji of the Chu State, and they both had a deep hatred of blood and hatred, and they were full of revenge. The two have many similar experiences, which will inexplicably bring the two closer.

But Bo Yao was worried that King Wu would not be able to use himself, after all, he was a native of Chu, and he had no reputation among the vassal states, and he did not have any great ability; is not as good as a soldier, and when he was young, he was already famous among the princes.

Bo Yao consulted with the soldiers and wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom.

Bo Yao said: "Although Brother Wu has good intentions, I am a Chu minister, and I am incompetent, meritorious, and virtuous. Now that they are in love with the country of Wu, I am afraid that King Wu will not accept it. And those who can take revenge on Chu now, that is, the Jin State and the Wu State seem to be able to rely on, and the other princes are just seeking self-preservation. Therefore, my brother wants to go to the Jin Kingdom, and my uncle's family is still prosperous in the Jin Kingdom. ”

Wu Yuan persuaded: "After I introduce the king, if the king doesn't need it, it's not too late for you to go to the Jin Kingdom." Why rush? Besides, the Jin Kingdom is now at a time when the monarch is weak and the ministers are strong, and you have lost the position of overlord, I am worried that you will not be able to achieve your ambition in the Jin Kingdom. ”

Bo Yao followed the advice of the soldiers and waited for the summons of King Wu. On this day, he was visited by the departing soldiers' mansion and wanted to visit his daughter and son-in-law. After Yuqin married a soldier, because he was left without a child, only Yuqin had a daughter, and he was old, so he often went to the soldier's house to enjoy the joy of family.

The soldiers invited Bo Ya to meet with his father-in-law, and told Bo Ya about his escape in detail. was looked at for a while, but his face was expressionless, and he just went up and said a few words of greeting.

Later, Bo Yao retreated, and the soldier returned to the study, and was followed by Li, and sat on the couch opposite the soldier. He was kicked out of the squire, and it seems that he has something to say.

When the soldier saw the mysterious appearance of being separated from the gods, he smiled and said, "Uncle Yue is ignorant. Just say something, and there is no one to see? ”

He twisted his white beard and shook his head. I'm also old, and I've lost several teeth, but my eyes are not bad. Today, this young man, I heard that his name is Bo Yao, he is a guest of his uncle, and he fled from the Chu State, but he can't look at it himself.

He is the most famous good teacher in Wu State, and he can have the name of God.

Seeing that there was no one around, he said to the soldiers: "The old man has a look at this uncle, this person looks at the tiger with a hawkish step, a sharp jaw, thin lips and descending, and high cheekbones. ”

was taken out for a long time and Bai Juan wiped his nose, wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and continued: "The eagle-eyed tiger step is the eagle-like eyes and the tiger-like gait, which shows that this person is unkind and cruel in nature; The sharp jaw indicates that he has a greedy personality and is easily bribed; The thin lips go down, indicating that this person is clever and unkind, and has the appearance of a traitor. I've been separated from countless people, when have you ever seen me look away? My husband advises you to stay away from him, so as not to make trouble for yourself in the future. ”

The father-in-law loved his son-in-law and advised the soldiers to stay away from Bo Yao: "This person cannot be reused, and you can't ignore a person's true character because you have the same experience." The old man's eyes are like watching fire, you can't believe it! ”

But the soldier did not comply, and retorted: "His whole family was destroyed, and no one was reliable." And the same as what happened to me. We are all people who have fallen to the end of the world, and we cherish each other, and if I turn a blind eye, it is not the work of the righteous. Besides, there is always something wrong with the father-in-law taking people in front of him. The face cannot be changed, but the personality of the person may change, so what the father-in-law said is to worry too much. ”

was disobeyed by the soldiers, so he had to tell his daughter Yuqin again, but Yuqin also stood on the side of the soldiers. He had to sigh and leave, and when he left, he couldn't help but use his not too windy teeth to express his concerns: "If you don't listen to the old man's words today, and suffer from him on another day, isn't it God's will!" ”

On the second day, the soldiers led Bo Yao to see King Wu Lu.

This is the partial hall of the Wu Palace, and the King of Wu sits on the couch more relaxed. Yesterday, I heard from the soldiers that something happened to the Chu State: the traitor Fei Wuji used the hand of Xiangguo to remove the virtuous minister but Wan, and Wuji was killed by Nangwa. This is really good news, the internal strife of the Chu State is much more significant than the results achieved by his own troops, which is really a surprise. It's just that this son of Qiwan fled to the country of Wu, I don't know what happened to this person?

He Lu pondered, although Wu Guo had made some progress under his own hard work. But there is still a long way to go from your own requirements. Wu and Chu have attacked each other for many years, and each has its own victories and defeats. However, relying on the vast population and land resources, the state of Chu still had a slight upper hand. Now the soldiers want to take revenge on Chu, but after all, he is a native of Chu, although he has a grudge against the king of Chu, but after all, it is his hometown, and he may not be able to do his best.

And this Bo Yao is still a native of Chu. King Wu was thinking to himself, and he remembered the sound of footsteps outside.

After the guards came in to report, they led the two into the side hall. After greeting each other, He Lu gave a seat to the two.

He glanced at the strange young man. Seeing that his appearance was not good, and he was aggressive and looked like a tiger and wolf, he was very unhappy in his heart.

He Lu asked: "The widows are guarding the country of Wu, living on the coast of the East China Sea, the land is narrow, and the people are not prosperous. Mr. defected to Wu from the Chu of a thousand times, I don't know if Mr. has any special advice? ”

Bo Yao bowed to the ground, prostrated three times, kowtowed and wept: "The grandfather of the foreign minister began to suffer from the Jin State and defected to Chu, and since then he has served Chu; My father fought for the south and north of the Chu State, and established great feats, but today he was killed by traitors; My people are not guilty, but they are slain. Now I'm dead, and I have nowhere to go. I heard that the king Gao Yi used to take in the soldiers, regardless of the source, and reused them, so I traveled thousands of miles to the king. Today, my life and death are determined by the king, and the ministers die without complaint! ”

Lu Lu took pity on him, and looked sideways at the soldier to see what he meant.

Wu Yuan played: "Bo Yao came to the king all the way to join the king, and he did not share the sky with the Chu State. The king has the heart of Tuchu, which is just right for him to serve the king and contribute some strength to the king Tuba South to win the Central Plains. ”

King Wu pondered for a long time, and King Wu asked about the national conditions and government of Chu, for He Lu, the most direct value of Bo Yao now is to know the national conditions, monarchs, ministers, army, taxes and so on. And He Lu was most interested in the young age of King Zhao, and how the state of Chu was able to stabilize the rule of the dynasty?

He Lu asked, "Chu Jun is young, and he is only a little more than ten years old. Now the state of Chu is ruled by the old minister Nangwa, this person has no virtue and no talent, and he is a useless horseman. Such a gentleman and a young minister, according to Mr., is the Chu State profitable? ”

Bo Yao replied: "Although Chu Jun is young, he can stabilize the court, mainly because of the teaching and maneuvering of his mother, the Empress Dowager Meng Huan, to buy more time for King Zhao's future pro-government; Then there is King Zhao's cousin, Gongzi Zixi, who is loyal and upright, and is a virtuous person. When the king of the day was driving, Nangwa wanted to embrace Zixi as the king, but Zixi strongly refused. Therefore, the palace is controlled by the queen mother, and the court is assisted by Zixi, so the state of Chu can be maintained. ”

He Lu continued to ask: "How is King Chu Junzhao?" ”

"Although King Zhao is young, he is very intelligent. can judge the merits of things, and can defend the loyalty of ministers; It's just that he is young and can't be pro-government. Otherwise, the state of Chu will definitely be governed. ”

"Now Nangwa has rehabilitated Zhaoxue for your Bo clan and killed Fei Wuji and General Yan. Now that Mr. returns to Chu, he will also be reused by the king of Chu, so why should he parasitize on my Wu country? He Lu asked very directly this time.

Seeing that King Wu seemed unwilling to stay, the soldiers stepped forward and said: "This time, Bo Yao came to vote, one is to be wronged and aggrieved, and the other is to vote for the master. In life, who doesn't want to make a contribution? Therefore, I hope that the king will take him in and satisfy his passionate ambitions. ”

Seeing that the soldiers had the intention of taking him in, although he didn't think much of Bo Yao in his heart, it was not easy to dismiss it. He appointed Bo Yao as a doctor, rewarded him with a field house, gave him a slave, and ordered him to cooperate with the soldiers to discuss state affairs and review military aircraft.

Wu Yuan and Bo Yao said goodbye to King Wu and left the palace, the two parted goodbye, and the Wu Yuan returned to the house, and a guard came up to report: "The doorman has a secret letter, I don't know who sent it, let it be handed over to the adult." ”

The soldiers unfolded it and were overjoyed, it turned out that Sun Wu had returned from a study tour and lived in seclusion on Luofu Mountain. Because the two had met when they broke up before, as long as Sun Wu returned to Wu, he would send a letter to inform him.

Early in the morning of the second day, the soldiers took the guard Gu Xin, rode a horse and pulled a bow, and came all the way to Luofu Mountain.

At this time, it was the turn of spring and summer, and the soldiers were in a hurry. After searching for two days all the way, I found Sun Wu's house in a grass house at the southern foot of Luofu Mountain.

Sun Wu's robe has wide sleeves and has the posture of an immortal. I haven't seen him for several years, Sun Wu has become more mature and steady, without the aggressiveness and sharpness he used to have. Returning from school is not only about academics, but also about experience.

Sun Wu welcomed the soldiers and Gu Xin into the cottage and instructed his subordinates to prepare food and wine.

Having a guest from afar? The reunion between Sun Wu and Wu Yuan after a long absence, began with wine, and the two would cook the world with wine.
