On the second day, ten boys from the Taishi Mansion came to pick me up in the courtyard with all kinds of items for the ceremony.

In the middle of the day, dozens of carriages had been parked outside the Taishi Mansion, and the number of people watching the ceremony was far greater than I had imagined. Burning incense, praying to witches, and worshipping, the whole ceremony lasted for more than an hour.

After the ceremony, Bolu, Wuxian, and Yin Gao sat in the courtyard that Shi Moxin assigned to me and helped me count the gifts sent by each family.

"Now you are the most beautiful person in the Jin Kingdom, and even the Marquis of Jin has sent you a congratulatory gift." Wuxian opened a box of books sent by the Marquis of Jin and sighed, "The ancient books in this box were originally Zhou Tianzi's rewards back then, and it was difficult for others to take a look, but now they are all given to you." ”

"The jasper astrolabe that her father gave her can be exchanged for a city if she takes it out." Bo Lu walked up to Yin Gao and sat down, and said curiously, "Taishi gave her all the white jade dragon hair crown from your master's sect, aren't you angry at all?" I've heard that it was left behind by your patriarch before he died. ”

Yin Gao held the palm-sized jasper astrolabe that Zhao Ying gave me, but it was engraved with hundreds of stars in Zhou Tian and said: "That is the most valuable thing in the master's sect, and the master always has his reason for handing it over to Ah Shi, and she is indeed talented, far better than me." ”

Listening to Yin Gao's words, my face was hot, and I couldn't wait to find a hole to get into. Yin Gao had just met me, and he had been thanking me for sending him back to Taishi Mansion a few nights ago when he had fallen asleep on the stargazing platform. How did he know that I had given him psychedelic medicine that night and lied to him to tell me about the astrological signs of Si Weixing's invasion of the Xuanwu Realm.

"I was just a fluke that day, if you like this astrolabe, keep it!" I said to Yin Gao with a humble heart.

"How can this be, this is something that the prime minister gave you." Yin Gao hurriedly put the astrolabe in his hand on the ground, "It's just a pity that Senior Brother Luan can't let go of the events of the day, and has already resigned from the master." ”

"He's leaving? Where to go? "Although I knew that Luan Tao had always opposed Shi Mo's acceptance of me as an apprentice, I was still taken aback when I heard that he was leaving.

"I don't know." Yin Gao shook his head, "Senior Brother Luan has high ambitions, and it is only a matter of time before he leaves, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”

When Taishi handed over the jade crown to Ah Shi just now, his eyes were about to burst into flames. It's no wonder that Luan Tao has always been highly valued by Taishi, and he is the oldest of the three disciples. However, Taishi is really strange, how can there be a woman in the world who wears a crown, and he also gives the word dark, with the witch dress he asked you to wear today, everyone who comes to watch the ceremony thinks you are a man. Boru played with a set of gold carved chips sent by the Zhi Clan, chattering.

"It's best if everyone in the world thinks I'm a man, then I'll die of joy!" I turned to Wuxian and said, "It's a pity that I got so many things, none of them can be sold, and I don't know when the few coins I owe you will be paid." How many do you take? ”

"What do I want you to do with these chips, what you owe me is still owed!" Shirtless looked at me and said.

"She uses this to solve any complex problems." Beru pointed to his heart and teased, "She can't use this gold to push it to you." ”

"Who said I don't need it!" I put away all the things that were spread on the ground, "Let's talk about the Huangchi Alliance in two months, Senior Brother Yin, you will also go, right?" ”

"I've never liked to go out, so I'm not going with you this time. A few days ago, Master ordered someone to make you a few sets of clothes for traveling, and now they are placed at my place, and I will go and bring them to you. After Yin Gao finished speaking, he got up, bowed and left.

"Is he angry?" I asked Shirtless softly.

"Don't think about it, I know Yin Gao, he has never been out of the gate of Xinjiang City. This meeting is very important to Qing's father, and Taishi has already prepared the time to set off. If you have anything else to prepare, hurry up! Wuxian took out a bag from behind him and handed it to me, "This is a few pairs of clothes and pants that I have made for the Di people, if you want to, you can go to Huangchi with us to ride a horse and hunt!" ”

"Thanks!" I happily took the burden, turned to Beru and said, "I also have something to give you, this time you go out with your father, you can't vomit all the way to the end like last time." ”

Boru smiled bitterly: "He has long been used to seeing me unproductive, so it doesn't hurt to have one more time." ”

"Last time, I didn't have all the medicinal materials, this time I will definitely impress you!"

"This time, in addition to Duke Lu and Marquis of Jin, Zhou Tianzi also sent the monarch of the single country to go with him. It seems that the Yellow Pond will be lively for a few months this summer. After saying this, we all knew in our hearts that this would be the last glory of Wu Wangfu's life......

The Yellow Pond is on the border of the Song, Wei, Zheng and Jin countries, where two large rivers meet, forming a huge lake between the mountains. Wuxian and I went out early in the morning to run the horses, and at noon we led the horses for a walk by the lake. The warm summer breeze blows gently, and the nearby lake shows a layer of fine sparkling ripples, and the lake in the distance shimmers with dazzling golden light, and occasionally a few explosion-like light spots, which are so bright that people can't look directly. On the other side of the lake, white tents spread high and low to the side of the mountain. In addition to the soldiers brought by Lu Gong and Shan Bo, there were thousands of leather chariots and more than 400,000 soldiers stationed in Huangchi in Jin and Wu alone. Within a few days, the originally deserted place of Huangchi suddenly became lively and noisy.

"I heard that the husband brought the beauty Shi Yiguang, can you imagine it?" I let the horses graze by the lake, and I found a clean meadow and sat down.

"It's okay not to see such a beautiful woman who has brought disaster to the country and the people." Shirtless loosened the reins and sat down beside me.

"I'd like to see you. I heard that Shi Yiguang and Zheng Dan showed their beauty on the high platform of Yue Guo before entering Wu that day, and those who wanted to take a look had to pay a penny. Three days later, the coins received by King Yue were full of five carts! ”

"If you want, I'll find you a high platform to stand on, and how about half of the coins we get?" Shirtless smiled and pulled the long strand of my hair that was scattered over my shoulders behind him with a horsewhip.

"Don't laugh with you. Hongyun'er, what do you think of this person? ”

"More than brave, poor strategy, stubbornness for self-use, so happy." After Wuxian finished speaking, he turned his head to look at me and said, "Then what do you think of this person?" ”

"Narrow-minded, ruthless, ungrateful, and taking advantage of others." As soon as I finished speaking, Wuxian's eyes were full of surprise, and the corners of my mouth curled and teased, "What? Do you think I would say that he endured humiliation, was far-sighted, knew how to make good use of people, and judged the situation? ”

"Yue Guo captured Wu State only in the morning and night, I thought you would at least think that he was forbearant and scheming, but I didn't expect you to say so many bad things about him in one breath."

I snorted, threw the few pebbles I was holding in my hand far away, and said in a straight voice, "I don't like him." He was too himself. During his three years in Wu, he did all the humiliating things in the world, in order to convince his husband that he had no desire for revenge. But a person who is so cruel to himself will only be more ruthless to others. It's a pity that the husband can't see this. Wu Zixu saw it, but was killed by Gou Jian's plan. I looked at the company camp of Wu State in the distance, and sighed, "Fucha is just a simple poor man, he is the son of King Wu Lu, he wants to restore the past glory of Wu State all his life, so even if the Huangchi Huimeng gives him only a false name of an overlord, he will come desperately." ”

"You feel sorry for him?" Wuxian turned over and squatted in front of me, "Ah Shi, in today's world, only people like Gou Jian can live and win." The husband should not have mercy on a wolf, nor should he be willing to the poison offered by the wolf, let alone listen to the wolf's slander and kill a capable minister like Wu Zixu. ”

"Then how long do you think Fan Li and Wen Chong will live after the Yue Kingdom conquers the Wu Kingdom? They witnessed the most humiliating moment in Gou Jian's life in Wu Kingdom, and when Gou Jian sat on top of the Ming Hall in the future, when he saw their faces, he would remember that he had licked the feces and urine for his husband. How could he tolerate them claiming to be heroes every day? ”

"You hate Gou Jian so much, but it's because of Wu Zixu?"

A faint sentence is like a slap in the face to me.

yes, is that the real reason why I hate King Yue?

In fact, when I grew up, I more or less knew that Wu Zixu was not just an uncle to Wu Feng. During the reign of King Wu Lu, Wu Zixu and Sun Wu were ministers of the same dynasty and were close friends. The book of soldiers that I studied every day in the study should have been given to Wu Zixu by Sun Wu, and Wu Zixu was forwarded to Wu Feng.

Seeing that I was stunned and didn't speak, Zhao Wuxian suddenly struck me heavily with a horsewhip.

"What are you doing!" He was merciless, and I almost jumped up in pain, "Yes, yes, yes, you're right, I grew up in Wufu since I was a child, so naturally I hate Gou Jian." ”

"But don't forget, the person who forced Wu Zixu to commit suicide was a bad husband."

"So what? If you ask the dead Wu Zixu, does he hate Fucha or Gou Jian, how do you think he will answer you? He will definitely tell you that he hates his husband for not listening to him, but he wants to peel off the skin and bones of the divisive Goujian. ”

"Forget it, your way of thinking about problems is always different from others, and I can't compete with you."

"Then don't fight with me in the future, just make sure that what I said is right!"

"Shameless little thing!" Shirtless reached out and pinched my smiling face.

I slapped his hand away, pointed behind him and said, "Hey, do you want to see a beauty?" If you want to see it, come with me! ”

Not far from the lakeside road drove a heavy curtain carriage, the red curtain of the carriage was embroidered with colorful butterflies, when the wind passed, the curtain was light, the colorful butterflies on it fluttered their wings, and it was beautiful. The four corners of the carriage are each hung with a string of blue and white jade ornaments, the pearls and jade strike each other, tinkling, crisp and pleasant.

I rolled over and yelled at Wuxian, "Quick! At this time, you can see the beauty without spending money. With that, he kicked the horse's belly with his right foot and galloped towards the carriage.

"What are you going to do?" The shirtless horseman caught up.

"Just go and stop the horses later!"

"Where's the scared horse?"

"It's coming!" I smashed a rock that I had been holding in my hand into the leg of the horse.
