Chapter 23 The traitor fell, and Wu Zixu's family was ruined

It is said that Wu Hao led the army deep into the territory of Wu and found a suitable place to settle down to discuss the future. At this time, King Wu had already learned that Chu Jun was coming, so he sent troops from all over the country to resist, and the Chu army could not be cheap for the time being, and the two armies formed a confrontation. However, the Chu army ran for a long time, and the food and equipment needed to be transported and supplied by domestic vehicles and horses, and the supply and transportation were all handled by the superintendent army fee.

Fei Tong has been pampered since he was a child, stubborn by nature, light and wealthy. Therefore, he often used his position to deduct food and salary to fill his own pocket. Over time, everyone on the front line of Chu soldiers knew about it, so that the morale of the army fluctuated and there were many complaints.

Wu Hao did not delve into the face of the doctor Fei Wuji, but he saw that in the long run, the army's morale would be chaotic and cause a catastrophe. So send people to collect Fei Tong's criminal evidence, and soon get countless ironclad evidence, so he ordered someone to catch Fei Tong to the big tent, the military Sima read out his crime, the article is true and indisputable, read the end of Fei Tong's face is bloodless, prostrate to the ground and beg for mercy, Wu Hao ordered the knife and axe hand to push it outside the tent and kill it, the sergeants and soldiers are all happy, so far the army's heart is a little settled, and a military disaster is finally turned into a disaster.

Although the disaster of the Chu army has been lifted, the disaster of Wu Hao has come unexpectedly. When Fei Wuji heard that his son Fei Tong was killed by Wu Hao, he gritted his teeth with hatred and vowed to cramp and skin him. So he sent people everywhere to chase after the wind and shadows, and fabricated Wu luxury charges.

However, it is said that since the king of Chu got Xia Ji, he has been drunk every day, singing every night, and has already hollowed out his body, so he is often restless and riddled with nightmares, so he is suspicious all day long.

On this day, Fei Wuji and several ministers said that General Wu Hao would not give the monarch's order outside, and led heavy troops to patrol hesitantly, fearing that he would support the army and conspire with the Wu people for the throne. The king of Chu was shocked when he saw the table, so he urgently ordered someone to recall Wu Hao with a talisman for questioning, Wu Hao was fighting fiercely with the Wu army at this time, and he had no time to return to China, so he temporarily detained the talisman. The king of Chu became more and more suspicious, and even sent envoys several times a day to urge, Wu Hao had no choice but to hand over the matter at hand to the generals, and went back to China by taking care of himself.

Wu Hao was subdued by the guards when he entered the palace, and was thrown into prison without a defense. When the king of Chu saw Wu Hao being arrested, his heart felt a little calm, and at this time Fei Wuji played again: "The king must not be careless, Wu Hao also has a son Wu Zixu in the family, this son is brave and strong, if you don't catch it all, I am afraid that it will be eaten by it in the future." The king of Chu nodded yes and wanted to send someone to arrest him.

At this time, Xia Ji on the side heard about this, so she found an excuse to go back to the palace, and when she returned to the palace, she immediately called her confidant and sent a secret letter to Wu Zixu quickly. Wu Zixu got the report, hurriedly packed up, packed up softly, and suddenly remembered what Chen Xiang explained that day, so he first went to the Tongfu warehouse to hand over the bronze talisman to Wang Gui to explain, and then rode out of the city.

When the king of Chu heard that someone had reported that Wu Zixu had fled, he immediately ordered someone to post a list of articles, and he was wanted throughout the country.

On this day, Wu Zixu fled to the ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, how did he expect that the wanted warrant of the King of Chu had arrived here, and now the ferry is heavily armed, and the soldiers are holding portraits to strictly check the people who pass by, Wu Zixu is tantamount to throwing himself into the net, so he will find a secluded place near the ferry to hide, rest all night, and make plans tomorrow.

This night, Wu Zixu had mixed feelings and couldn't sleep all night. wanted to come to the Wu family to be loyal to the Chu family for generations, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but in the end, the family was ruined and the children and grandchildren were cut off. Wu Zixu expected that he would be captured and killed tomorrow, his life was small, but the Wu family's blood feud could not be avenged.

Crying until late at night, Wu Zixu only felt that there was no other love, so he took out the bronze mirror and wanted to clean up his clothes and go to death calmly. But seeing that the person in the bronze mirror was actually an old man with pale hair, Wu Zixu was shocked, and then looked closely, the old man was completely the same as himself except for his white beard, and the person in the mirror was himself, and he sighed secretly in his heart. It was Wu Zixu who was exhausted, and after a night, he was white-headed.

At this time, the sky was just cloudy, Wu Zixu suddenly heard the barking of a dog outside, and then there was a rooster crowing, Wu Zixu came out of the house, and saw that the officers and soldiers guarding the ferry not far away had also gotten up early to check on the passers-by. Wu Zixu was overjoyed, thinking that he could take advantage of this hazy moment to get through the customs, so he strode towards the ferry. When the interrogating soldiers saw someone coming, they picked up the portrait and carefully compared it, because the sky was hazy so that the face was blurred, and saw that this person's hair and beard were all white, like an old man, and Wu Zixu, who was wanted by the King of Chu, should be a heroic son, so he opened and let him go in a hurry. There is a way that 'woe and blessing depend on it'. Wu Zixu is like a dragon entering the sea, and it will definitely stir up a storm.

In the Yingcheng Tongfu Warehouse, the shopkeeper Wang Guizheng thanked the two strange people, yes, it was the 'chicken and dog thief' who saved Wu Zixu.
