Chapter 14 Luofu's sincerity
After visiting his mother, wife and children, he stayed at home for the night and set off the next day.
The servants who are traveling with him have been working in Gongziguang's mansion and know a little about the big and small things that happen in the mansion.
It has been two months since Zhuzhu left the house, and he couldn't wait to know the situation in the house, so he asked the servants on the left and right:
"What's going on in the house lately?"
A servant replied:
"There is nothing big happening in the house, but a strange thing has happened in the palace!"
"Oh?" Zhuan Zhu was curious, so he continued to ask, "Tell me about it!"
"It's strange to say this," the servant was like a monk from Zhanger, puzzled, and continued, "On that day, the king took the Beiliang clan to hunt, and a large number of people and horses were in the soup, and when they were hunting, I don't know if a huge white fox appeared there, and the figure was almost about to catch up with an adult horse!"
As he spoke, the servant's eyes showed a hint of fear, and his voice trembled.
"Say, keep talking!" Zhuan Zhu became more and more curious.
"The Beiliang clan, who was riding on the horse with the king, fainted. At that time, the king was very worried, and in a fit of anger, he ordered all the eaglemen to fire arrows together, but ...... The white fox ......"
"What's wrong with the white fox?"
"The white fox...... That white fox was unscathed!"
After speaking, Zhuan Zhu was dumbfounded, and his eyes were blank.
"Big Brother...... Big Brother ......"
"Is that really the case?" said Zhuan Zhu.
"That's true, I also learned from a friend, who was a falcon from the field hunting grounds, and he was there that day. ”
"And after that?"
"Yes, if you don't ask, I'll forget!" The servant seemed to have forgotten something more shocking and didn't say anything, and suddenly remembered that his eyes lit up again, and then said, "Back in the palace, Beiliang was seriously ill, first vomiting and vomiting, and then in a coma for three days and three nights, until a miracle doctor was invited, and he woke up!"
Zhuan Zhu was full of suspicion and looked dazed.
"By the way, who is the Beiliang clan?" Zhuan Zhu has never known much about the personnel in the palace, and a common man does not want to know about the trivial matters in the palace; now that he is determined to help Gongziguang achieve a career, he must have an understanding of the palace in the court, so he asked casually.
"You don't know this?" the servant retorted in the same tone as a child asking a childish question, "she is the woman that the king brought back in the provocation of the Beiliang!"
......
Zhuzhu and the servants crossed the mountains and mountains, overcame thorns and thorns, and finally found Wu Zixu's residence.
Zhuan Zhu looked around, the simple wooden house was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and Brother Wu really looked like he was in seclusion!
"Zixu—Zixu—"
Zhuan Zhu called loudly outside the door, only to see the broken wooden door creaking, and then out of the door came a white-haired man dressed in simple and simple clothes - that person was Wu Zixu.
At first glance, Wu Zixu was at a loss, and then he burst into tears.
Zhuzhu stared into the eyes of the old man in front of him, greeted him, and the two hugged each other and cried.
The servants who were traveling with them looked at each other.
"Okay, okay, Brother Wu, you must have suffered these days!"
Wu Zixu stopped sobbing, supported Zhuan Zhu, and said:
"Brother, you must be tired from running along the way, going over mountains and mountains, come! Come into the house and sit!" and ordered the servants outside the house to come into the house to rest, "You also come in and rest, don't dislike my place, there is still a sip of water to drink!"
Several servants were already exhausted along the road, and their mouths were dry, and they finally found Wu Zixu, and they were naturally very happy, and they suddenly showed a happy look.
"Zixu, the days on the mountain are not comfortable, right?!"
"Where are you! I have lived in Fan Cage for a long time, and this time I came out to breathe is just what I want, and although I don't have good wine and meat here, it is pleasant to be surrounded by mountains and rivers!"
"Haha-you're a fool of yourself! Look at your shabby, don't you come to deceive me! How can you and my brothers not know each other's hearts?"
"Huh-" Wu Zixu sighed, poured tea for Zhuan Zhu, and sat down on the opposite side, "These days, I have been on the mountain, lonely and alone, sometimes I run to the top of the mountain to see the morning glow, sometimes I run to the west mountain to see the sunset, after all, if you have something to worry about, the good mountains and good water are tasteless!"
Zhuan Zhu didn't guess wrong, Wu Zixu still couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart! But in the current situation, revenge is simply out of reach, and a fool is talking about a dream! Even if he has great ambitions, what is the use?
"You don't know, I was even dreaming about how to avenge my father and brother, and when I woke up in the middle of the night, I found myself in seclusion in the mountains and forests, leaving a partridge crying. I really deserve the spirit of my father and brother in the sky!"
When Wu Zixu talked about the sore spots, he couldn't help but feel sad.
Zhuan Zhu couldn't help but be deeply infected, and was sad about it, so he comforted:
"Zixu, a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late. You don't have to rush it, it's just not the time. When the time comes, there will be a satisfactory answer!"
"Timing...... The time ......" Wu Zixu looked dazed, his eyes were empty and seemed to be profound, "When will the time come?"
"Zixu, don't worry, I came back this time to tell you that I have learned the art of roasting fish, and I am waiting to come in handy!"
"Does Childe know about your return?"
"As soon as I came back, I went to the Childe's Mansion to see him. ”
"Oh. ”
"It's just ......" came to his lips and swallowed again, a little hesitant.
"Just what?" Wu Zixu hurriedly asked, he must recover the sentence in his mouth.
"He's going to pick me up, and I said I'd wait until you come back. When I mentioned you to him, he seemed a little upset......"
"You don't have to blame him. Wu Zixu listened to it but was very indifferent, and he was not surprised.
Seeing this, he guessed that this matter must have been expected by Wu Zixu, but what happened between Gongziguang and Wu Zixu was still ambiguous. He wanted to ask him directly. He was waiting for the right moment.
"Zixu, do you know about your retirement?"
Wu Zixu nodded, thought for a moment and said:
"It's just that I didn't tell him about it before I left. ”
"Why didn't you tell him?"
Wu Zixu thought about it, since Zhuan Zhu had already learned the art of roasting fish, and his plan was on the right track, there was no need to hide some things, so he said frankly:
"Actually, I was going to say goodbye to him at first, but if I told him in person that I was going to retire, he would definitely not agree, so I wrote you a letter and asked you to tell him. I didn't expect you to go directly to Taihu Lake after you returned home, and I had already arrived at Luofu Mountain by then. ”
"Then you didn't ask someone to report the letter?"
"No, I think Gongzi Guang will know sooner or later anyway, and it doesn't matter if you know early or late. ”
"You! this is the temperament of the cow!" said Zhuan reproached.
Wu Zixu seemed to notice that something was wrong, and he really regretted it in his heart, regretting his self-righteousness at the beginning.
"Did Childe Hikaru say anything?"
"He thinks you're going to get away with it, give up your promises, and keep saying that you want revenge, but in fact he is afraid. He also said......"
"Say what?"
"Say you're wayward. ”
Wu Zixu felt a sense of guilt in his heart. He knew that he was too eager for revenge, and he didn't care about other people's feelings, let alone let others understand his thoughts. I have always acted decisively, but it is incomprehensible, of course, everything is caused by my lack of openness. Revenge is one's own goal, and seizing the throne is Gongziguang's goal. Although the purpose is different, they all have to pass a hurdle, that is, Wu Wangyi. Without passing this hurdle, there is no hope of revenge. Only with the help of Childe Hikaru can he achieve his goals.
"Brother, there are some things I did wrong, I should reflect on it!"
"What's the use of saying this to me, you go and tell Childe. ”
"Okay! Let's go now!"
Wu Zixu packed up several shabby clothes and went down the mountain with Zhuan Zhu.
Childe Guangfuzhong, hall.
Gongzi sits on the light, Wu Zixu sits in the east, and sits in the west.
"Today, here for our warriors to catch the wind and wash the dust!"
"Childe is polite! I'm just doing my best! It's a blessing to be appreciated by Childe!"
"It's too humble. Zixu, what do you say?" Gongziguang moved his gaze to Wu Zixu.
"Yes, brother, with your talent, no matter how big the difficulty is, it will be solved!" Wu Zixu praised, and blamed himself again, "Childe, I didn't say goodbye last time, I should review myself." ”
Childe Hikaru smiled and said:
"Zixu, let the past pass! Today is a festive day, and we will leave those unhappy things behind and not mention it! Come, let's have a drink together!"
After speaking, the three of them drank it all.
"Today, the situation on the frontier is becoming more and more tense, and there may be a conflict with the Chu State at any time, and the king is also quite worried about this matter. The most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the Chu army, otherwise I will not be able to give the king an answer. If you have any suggestions, you might as well talk about them!"
Zhuzhu immediately recommended himself and said:
"Childe, I ask to go to the front line and hold the city!"
Wu Zixu was silent, contemplative.
"What does Zixu think about this?" Gongzi just saw that Wu Zixu was thoughtful, and he must have a strategy in his chest.
"I don't think it's appropriate to send a brother to the front line. ”
"Oh, tell me why!"
"Although the brother is brave and fierce, one person can defeat a hundred people, but in the face of the tens of thousands of troops of the Chu army, he must be single-handedly and powerless. If it is sent to the front line, it will definitely make the hero ashamed!"
Gongzi Guangmao suddenly opened: If Wu Zixu didn't say this, he would definitely agree to Zhuan Zhu and send him to guard the border towns. But now that Wu Zixu said the pros and cons, he instantly felt that he was thinking too simply.
"What do you think is going to be?"
Wu Zixu recalled the strange things that Zhuan Zhu said on the way, and suddenly thought about it, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and nodded leisurely to Zhuan Zhu and Gongziguang, looking confident.
Wu Zixu came up with some clever tricks, and look at the next chapter to break it down.
