King Wu led the coalition army to return to the court, on the way, Dazai Yao said to King Wu: "Wu Zixu is tough and vicious, no affection, suspicion and viciousness, his resentment is afraid to cause a deep disaster, Weichen thinks that the king needs to severely punish Wu Zixu when he goes back this time." ”

"What did Dazai say about that?" King Wu asked.

"When the king said twice that he was going to attack the state of Qi, Wu Zixu tried his best to oppose it, forcibly admonished, ruined and slandered the king's career, and after the defeat of the last naval battle, Wu Zixu was very happy, and also entertained guests to prove his clever strategy. This time, the king sent troops to win the victory, and Wu Zixu would definitely feel ashamed because his plan did not succeed, and he would feel resentful. He pretended to be sick this time and did not go out with the king, and the king must be on guard, which can easily cause trouble. ”

After hearing this, King Wu frowned thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Dazai Yao continued: "And I also sent someone to secretly investigate, when the king sent Wu Zixu to envoy to the Qi State, he actually entrusted his son to the Bao clan of the Qi State. ”

When King Wu heard this, he was instantly furious: "What? And what's going on? Outrageous! Does Wu Zixu look down on the widow or is he not optimistic about Wu Guo? ”

This Dazai Ya echoed: "As a courtier, he has no ambition in the country, so he thinks of relying on the princes outside, and thinks that he is the adviser of the previous king, and now he is not reused, he will have resentment, which is really a villain's behavior!" I hope that the king can find a way to punish him severely as soon as possible. ”

"The widow will definitely question him when he goes back this time!" King Wu was already completely enraged.

It can be clearly seen that Dazai Yao showed a treacherous smile at this time. I heard Xu Cheng say before, this Wu Zixu is still Dazai Yao's benefactor——— when Dazai Yao fled to Wu State, he defected to Wu Zixu, and later under the recommendation of Wu Zixu, he was appointed by King Wu and was repeatedly promoted. It seems that he has already set his sights on Wu Zixu's official position and is ready to take revenge.

After returning to China, King Wu summoned Wu Zixu to confront him face to face: "Outside the army, the widow heard that you entrusted your son to the Bao family when you went to the Qi State?" Is there such a thing? ”

There was no obscurity in Wu Zixu's words, and he replied frankly and straightforwardly: "There is indeed such a thing!" ”

"Outside the army, the widow usually treats you well, right, you hate the widow so much? You know that there will be a war between the widows and the Qi country, and you also collaborate with the enemy to commit treason. King Wu was furious, "Those who carry the widow will be killed!" Remembering that you still have merit, I will give you a sword called 'Belonging to the Carving', and I will end it by myself. ”

Wu Zixu took the sword and said with grief and indignation: "I made your father dominate the princes, and I fought to the death in front of the previous king, and successfully helped you to be made the crown prince. But now you have listened to the slander of the traitorous villain and killed me! ”

King Wu was a little ashamed by him, but he still said indignantly: "You have indeed made a great contribution, and it is precisely like this, you tried to prevent the crusade against the Qi country, and the widows repeatedly did not care about you, but you actually colluded with the enemy country, it is tolerable, which is unbearable!" ”

"After I die, please gouge out my eyes and hang them at the east gate of the city, so that I can see the invasion of the Yue Kingdom and the destruction of the Wu Kingdom! And plant catalpa trees on my grave, and when they are full, the kingdom of Wu will probably perish. After three years, the state of Wu began to weaken, and after it was full, it would be dilapidated, this is the way of heaven! After that, Wu Zixu's face did not change and killed himself, and I don't know if the sword was too sharp or for some reason, not a drop of blood on Wu Zixu's neck did not flow down, and the sword was not stained with blood, and everyone was surprised by this scene and was speechless.

When King Wu heard Wu Zixu's words, he became even more angry, "The widow will not give you a chance to see the destruction of the Wu Kingdom!" Someone came, put his body into a leather bag, threw it into the Yangtze River, and then, according to his words, gouged out his eyes, and hung it at the east gate of the city, but the widow wanted to see if the state of Wu was destroyed at my hands! ”

Wu Zixu's eyes were gouged out, and blood gushed out, as if the blood he should have shed when he killed himself also vented his anger.

The hollow, bloody eye holes looked terrifying, everyone couldn't help but cover their eyes, Xu Cheng coughed violently, his face gradually turned red, and suddenly, a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth and passed out on the ground.

King Wu sent an imperial physician to treat him, "What's wrong with him?" I asked anxiously.

"Dr. Xu's previous wounds have not yet healed, and the recent battles have consumed too much energy, physical exhaustion, and qi and blood attack, so it will take a long time to recuperate, and he can no longer do strenuous exercise."

After some treatment by the imperial doctor, Xu Cheng gradually woke up, he stood up with difficulty, and said respectfully to King Wu: "The minister is now a sick body, unable to serve the king, and his resentment is incomparable!" Begging bones, returning to his hometown, hoping that the king will allow it. ”

"Dr. Xu is still young, he could have soared, but he was killed by an arrow to save the widow, and now he is in poor health, and the widow is really sorry! Dr. Xu returns to his hometown to rest! King Wu agreed to Xu Cheng's request and gave him several boxes of jewelry and brocade, but Xu Cheng declined.

We embarked on the journey back to our hometown, after this war, Xu Cheng's body was very weak, so we had to walk and rest.

"Brother wife, you told me before that the Wu Kingdom would be destroyed in the hands of the husband sooner or later, I still don't believe it, I believed it when I saw him give the soldiers to die that day, this faint king can't listen to the advice of the virtuous minister, but is close to the villain."

"But I have to admit that his ability to command operations is really strong, and he can't believe that he can annihilate 100,000 troops of Qi State in one day!"

"Let's go back quickly, I can't wait to meet Sui'er and Xiaozhi. Now our family can stay together for a long time, and we won't be separated because of the war! "Xu Cheng's joy of being a husband and a father, I am very envious......
