In the drizzle of Qingming Festival, Xiao Yi held an umbrella in one hand and a bamboo basket of offerings in the other, walking alone on the secluded path outside Pingliang City.

In the past 20 years, she has walked this road too many times. No matter the rain or snow, no matter the cloudy or sunny, no matter day or night, no one stopped her from walking towards the tomb of King Song Huai, which no one cared about.

Today is different. Xiao Yi saw that there were traces of two wheels on the muddy path, which were neither deep nor shallow, and very clear.

In the woods where the mausoleum could not be seen, two Zhao Palace guards raised swords to block the way, and one said: "Your Highness is here to meet friends today, don't disturb idlers." ”

Another person saw that the strange woman was not only wearing a hat, but also a layer of veil under the hat, and her steps were light, as if she was good at martial arts, so he asked sharply, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Xiao Yi didn't want to cause trouble, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb, pointed to his ears, shook his head and waved his hand, saluted the two guards, and turned around and left.

The two guards looked at the back of the woman in white, and couldn't help but look at each other, one said: "King Song Huai has been dead for more than 20 years, is there anyone in this world who has come to send sacrifices to a short-lived monarch like him?" ”

The other joked indifferently: "Maybe it's King Song Huai's old lover?" ”

"I heard that King Song Huai is frail and sickly, and he is a puppet monarch, and he died after a few battles in our Zhao Kingdom. As far as his virtue is concerned, where did he come from? ”

"Isn't the princess of Qi the dead country his old lover?"

"Speaking of which, the princess of the Qi Kingdom is really pitiful. After living for a few years, the Qi State was destroyed. finally married a rich man, and the man died early. She gave birth to a son before she died, and now her son is dead. Sure enough, it is a thin life, and this life is as thin as the sons! By the way, brother, there's one thing I haven't figured out. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You said that the sick and crooked King Song Huai, how did he give birth to today's King Song? Look at this today's Song King, he is simply a dragon and a phoenix among people, and ghosts and gods help together! As soon as he made a move, he actually destroyed the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei, and Shu! If anyone can dominate the world, it is probably the current Song King. ”

"Hahaha! What's wrong with that? You see, there are a total of three women in King Song Huai's harem, right? One is the unlucky princess of Qi, the other is the princess of Chu who returned to Chu and remarried King Chu Yu, and the other is the mother of the current King of Song.

Who raised the son born to the princess of Qi? It's the king of Wei who died in Shu! I heard that King Wei and Princess Qi have already ordered a baby kiss. Although the princess of Qi was forced to marry into the Song palace by King Song Huai, although her son claimed to be the son of King Song Huai when he restored the Kingdom of Qi, King Wei and King Song Huai had a blood feud, why did King Wei work hard to raise King Song Huai's son to grow up? ”

"Because...... Yes? Are you saying that the King of Qi is not the son of King Song Huai, but the son of King Wei? ”

"I'm just guessing. Either King Wei is a sage, or King Qi is King Wei's own son, he just wants his son to dominate the world, so he fabricated a fake identity for King Qi, so that he can threaten the status of the current King of Song. ”

"It seems to be true...... Somehow makes sense! ”

"Let's talk about Lin Long, the princess of Chu who remarried. As early as when she was in the Song Palace, she secretly gave birth to two children to King Chu Yu! It can be seen that the green hats worn by King Song Huai are really one after another, and each one is greener than the other! ”

"So...... What are you going to say? ”

"Therefore, I boldly infer that the reason why King Song is so brave and intelligent today is because he is not the biological son of King Song Huai's soft persimmon at all!

Before the words fell, the two were already laughing.

After laughing, one of them said solemnly: "The two of us are praising the current King of Song, are we disloyal to His Royal Highness?" ”

The other pouted: "Haven't you seen the face of our Highness?" Even if you haven't seen your face, the carriage is driving by, haven't you seen the white-haired old man in the car? Our Highness's appearance of abandonment of people and gods, where is the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix? With his appearance, at most he will be a king of Zhao who lives and works in peace and contentment, and he can't dominate the world!

And his gray hair...... Already looks like an old fairy! Which old immortal have you ever seen come down to dominate the world?

Our Highness is benevolent and righteous, and it is good anywhere, but there is no luck in dominating the world! Now although the Chen State and the Shu Kingdom have all returned to our Zhao State, but in the battle of Wucheng, His Royal Highness was seriously injured, once the current King of Song has a whim and leads the troops to attack, do you think our Highness can resist it?

And the biggest problem is that our Highness has no children! The princess is not married, even if she does, the princess is old, how can she have children? When His Royal Highness dies, do you think that our Dugu Zhao Kingdom can still stay on the territory of the Kyushu countries? ”

"Today's Song kings have no children......"

"Silly brother, how old is King Song today? He wants his children and grandchildren to last, and there is time! That's not right! He's got a baby! Didn't King Anyi of Chu be pregnant with his child? It seems that Song and Chu have been married, and perhaps it won't be long before the dim-witted and incompetent King Chu who is obsessed with women will abdicate by himself.

Song and Chu were unified without a fight, and the king of Song led the troops of Song and Chu to attack our Zhao State...... Alas, you said that our Highness is not good at recuperating from his injuries, what is the use of coming to see this unfortunate King Song Huai? Could it be that the dead King Song Huai can still give his fake son a dream, so that his fake son will not come to fight our Zhao Kingdom? ”

******

King Zhao's carriage stopped in front of the tomb of King Song Huai.

Liu Wensheng turned around, and saw that King Zhao's coachman was about forty years old, and he looked quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The coachman jumped out of the carriage, walked up to Liu Xing and said, "The old slave has seen His Royal Highness the King of Song. He raised his head again and glanced at Liu deeply, and couldn't help frowning: "His Royal Highness King Song...... Don't come unharmed. ”

Liu looked at the carriage that did not move at all, and asked the coachman, "His Royal Highness King Zhao can be in the carriage?" Let the juniors come forward to pay a visit......" and walked to the carriage.

The coachman moved to stop him, and instead of answering, he asked: "Doesn't His Royal Highness King Song recognize the old slave?" ”

Liu stopped and looked at the coachman suspiciously: "We ...... Have you really seen it? ”

The coachman smiled: "I wonder if His Royal Highness King Song still remembers the name 'Antai'?" ”

Liu thought for a moment, then immediately held the coachman's hands, and couldn't hide his excitement: "Are you ...... Is Antey, the king's close guard? ”

Antai nodded: "In the impression of the old slave, His Highness is only so tall. He gestured with his hand to the height of a three-year-old child, "After many years, His Royal Highness has been in the wind of Yushu, and the old slave is very relieved." ”

Compared with the emotion of the deceased by chance, at this time, in Liu's heart, he was more puzzled: "After my father died in Pingliang, why didn't you go back to the Song Kingdom?" How did my father die? ”

An Tai smiled faintly: "The old slave is King Song Huai's close guard. His Royal Highness, as the King of Song, also has his own close guard, how can he not know that the errand of this close guard is to follow the King of Song like a shadow and never leave an inch? Since King Song Huai did not return to the Song Kingdom, nor did he dismiss the old slave, how could the old slave go back alone? ”

Liu sighed: "It's difficult for you to stay in Pingliang to guard the tomb of your father." ”

An Tai smiled again: "Your Highness asked the old slave how King Song Huai died." The old slave also wants to ask His Highness, why is His Highness so convinced of things that he has never seen with his own eyes? ”
