Chapter 363: Assassin King Kills
Official positions, fame, soldiers, fiefdoms, etc., Gongzisheng already has everything, are you afraid that you will not have the strength to rebel in the future?
After knowing all the inside information, Wu Zixu couldn't help frowning and said: "King, giving up the two cities of Liuyi and Qianyi is harmless for my Wu State, but if I want to attack Chu State in the future, I am afraid it will be more difficult." β
"Furthermore, if the Chu people have to advance an inch and send a large army to attack our Wu State, what can they do?"
Hearing this, Qingji hadn't spoken yet, and Sun Wu, the imperial historian on the side, smiled and said, "Zixu is too worried." Not to mention that the Chu State is tired and difficult to fight, these six and two cities are already the bottom line of my Wu State, if the Chu people cut it down again, I am afraid they will not be able to achieve an inch. β
Wu Zixu nodded, but still said with some hesitation: "King, if Xiong Sheng has different intentions in the future, it will be for his own benefit, and he will not obey the king's private order." What can I do? β
Qingji didn't answer Wu Zixu directly, but asked lightly: "Zixu, in your opinion, how is Gongzi Sheng?" β
"Gongzi Sheng, he grew up watching the minister. This person is heroic, but he forgets his righteousness when he sees small profits, does big things and is desperate, and he is bold! β
"The winner of knowing the bear is none other than Qingye."
Qingji chuckled and said, "If such a person is in a high position, isn't it a hidden danger to the Chu State?" β
Hearing this, Wu Zixu fully understood Qingji's thoughts!
Wu Zixu knows Gongzi Sheng very well.
Xiong Sheng has been bold since he was a child, although he is not the kind that has a backbone in the back of his head, but he is not much different.
In the early years, Wu Zixu wanted to be kind to his son and teach him, but he never had the leisure time to do it.
Therefore, Gongzi Sheng also inherited the bad character of his father Prince Jian!
How can a big husband be depressed and live under others for a long time?
If he has been buried and has been a nobleman who has no worries about food and clothing, Gongzi Sheng may have no ambition, and even if he has a heart, he is powerless.
However, at present, for the state of Chu, this kind of sky-pouring feat, the son of the king of Chu, who has different intentions, can not breed ambitions?
This is exactly what Qingji expects to see!
Gongzi Sheng in history is just a Chaoyi doctor, who dares to rebel with thousands of soldiers and horses!
How bold is such a person?
Give him 10,000 soldiers and horses, maybe he will dare to attack Yingdu directly!
β¦β¦
Qingji's second patrol was mighty, and after leaving the nest, he went all the way south, inspecting Zhongli and Qunshu, and then all the way to the east, passing through the vast mountains, condolences to the local officials, and hundreds of Baiyue tribes.
If it weren't for the fact that the official roads of Wu had basically been completed, extending in all directions and with convenient transportation, I am afraid that the patrol team would have to trek through mountains and rivers, and I don't know how much time it would take to complete this journey of thousands of miles.
Having said that, when Qingji arrived at the city of Gumi, that is, the original country of Gumi, it was already the ninth year of King Qingji of Wu, that is, February 505 BC, a long time of nearly four months, and it is conceivable how vast the territory of Wu is now.
Of course, there are also reasons why Qingji sometimes stays in one place for too long.
On the streets of Guwu City, it was crowded with people at this time.
Wu Wang Qingji's guard of honor opened the way in front, and the mighty procession stretched endlessly, and the pomp was grand.
The contemptuous people who live between the poor mountains and bad waters all the year round can't help but look forward to seeing the demeanor of King Wu!
About four years ago, the country of Gu was destroyed by the state of Wu, and the people of Gu Wu became slaves of the country.
However, under the governance of the original Huiji County Shouwen and Kongqiu, the Gu people gradually forgot the hatred of losing the country.
It's just that it's only been a few years, and it's impossible for the contempt people to really forget their homeland.
However, it is conceivable that compared to their past lives, under the rule of Wu Guo, their lives are better.
Therefore, for Wu Guo, the hearts of the locals are mixed.
"Woohoo!"
Suddenly, a flurry of arrows struck, and the guards who were caught off guard in the team were hit by arrows one after another, and they fell headlong in a pool of blood with a scream.
"Assassin!"
"There are assassins! Escort! β
"Protect the King!"
This sudden change really scared the people in the team.
The stubborn armor soldiers in the patrol team hurriedly raised their shields and surrounded the six imperial carriages where Qingji was.
I saw that on both sides of the crowd, dozens of men with swords and axes suddenly rushed out, and they were not afraid of death to kill the six royal carriages!
In broad daylight, how dare you do such an assassination of the king?
The surrounding Li Shu was so frightened that they scattered as birds and beasts.
"Protect the King!"
"Up!"
Heifu, who was the commander of Lang Zhong, hurriedly stood under the six imperial carriages and commanded the nearby guards to come over and form a formation.
"Poof!"
"Huh!"
"Ahh
Those dozens of assassins were athletic and powerful, even if they were one-on-one with the guards who had been fighting on the battlefield all year round, they would not be left behind.
At this time, Qingji had already stepped out of the six imperial carriages, looked around, and saw that Wu Jun's guards were fighting with a group of assassins, and they were bloody on the street.
"Father, be careful!"
Gongzi Xi, who was standing next to Qingji, suddenly shouted, only to see a tall building not far away.
A man with a ponytail and a round waist with a big shoulder, naked, unexpectedly shook the chain of the big copper ball in his hand and smashed it towards the side of the six imperial carriages!
That's a lot of strength!
That man seems to be born with divine power, and the big copper ball weighing thousands of catties is simply wielded!
Seeing this, Qingji also hurriedly jumped out of the carriage with his two sons.
"Boom!"
The big copper ball thrown out after charging was so powerful that it smashed the originally sturdy carriage with a single blow and dented it deeply!
If it weren't for Qingji's quick reaction and still sitting in the six royal carriages, I'm afraid he would have been smashed into a meatloaf!
"Leave two alive for the widow."
"No!"
Qingji still has a light and breezy look on the surface, but there is already a real fire in his heart!
In front of the public, he actually assassinated the king on the street?
It's outrageous!
Therefore, Qingji wanted to know who instructed these assassins to openly assassinate themselves.
In a short time, the dozens of Assassins were slaughtered, leaving only two Assassins.
However, those two assassins were also tough, and when they were captured alive, they still found an opportunity to take poison and commit suicide!
"Newspaperβ"
Just when everyone thought that the dust had settled on the assassination incident, a military vehicle galloped over.
The soldier standing on the military chariot hurriedly said, "King! Oh no! β
"A large number of people suddenly appeared in the south of the city, suspected of being Nanban, the scale is very large, it should be no less than 10,000 people!"
As soon as they heard this, everyone present changed color.
The sudden assassination, coupled with the pressure of the Southern Barbarian army, how could these two things not be related?
No coincidence!
At this time, Sun Wu, the imperial historian who was standing beside Qingji, muttered: "King, this series of things is all caused by a traitor......
