Volume 3 Chapter 23 What more could a husband ask for?
In the end, Gou Jian still decided to bring people to prepare congratulatory gifts and go to Wu Guo to congratulate.
The entourage he selected, Wenchen only brought Fengtong, and the military generals brought Luo Changfeng, and the guards were only four swordsmen and one hundred armorers.
The reason why he brought Fengtong with him is because he has always been in charge, contacting and dealing with Wu's domestic response, and in history, it was he and Wu Dazai Boyao who slandered Wu Zixu together.
As the so-called enemy of the enemy, my hero, for the people of Wu and later generations who read history, Bo Yao is just a villain who deserves death.
But for today's Yue Guo, he is indispensable, if there is no such person, Gou Jian has already turned into a piece of loess, where will there be any eternal talk of lying on the salary and tasting courage?
It's a pity that the ending of Fengtong and Bo Yao is not very good, after Gou Jian destroyed Wu, they are also the object of Gou Jian's "birds hide their bows, rabbits and dead dogs cook".
......
Night, General's Mansion.
In the green curtain tent, Luo Changfeng and A Qing hugged each other and lay down.
"Ah Qing, tomorrow I will go to Wu with the king, I'm afraid that for a while, I won't be able to accompany you to shepherd. ”
When Ah Qing heard this, he said indifferently: "Then I will go with you too." ”
Luo Changfeng said helplessly: "I'm afraid this won't work, the team to go to Wu is full of men, and the king didn't bring the queen, if I take you, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
Ah Qing twisted her body and said coquettishly, "No, I don't want to be separated from you." ”
Luo Changfeng couldn't laugh or cry, "But I'm a general, I'm going to fight in the future, I can't take you with me when I fight, right?"
Ah Qing said as a matter of course: "Then what's not to do, I can still help you!"
Luo Changfeng was stunned, and suddenly his face suddenly appeared, yes, he hadn't seen Ah Qing do it for a long time, he almost forgot that Ah Qing was a peerless master with martial arts stronger than him.
Luo Changfeng thought for a while and said, "Okay! When the time comes, I will tell the king that I will take you with me, but you may have to dress up as a man." ”
"Mmmm, as long as you let me follow you, I will listen to you for everything. ”
Listening to Aqing's unpretentious, but deeply attached words, Luo Changfeng's heart was about to melt.
If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
......
The next day, outside the palace.
The entourage was assembled early, Luo Changfeng hung a long sword at his waist, and Ah Qing, who was dressed as a man and also had a sword at his waist, stood at the foot of the steps.
Over the years, Gou Jian found Xue Candle, a disciple of Ou Yezi, to cast weapons for the Yue Kingdom, and under some effective suggestions from Luo Changfeng, the level of weapon casting in the Yue Kingdom was greatly improved.
Yue's sword is no longer as bulky and lighter as before, and the size of the sword has shrunk a lot, but its sharpness and toughness are stronger than the previous sword.
Although it is still a bronze sword, one of the crafting processes of Xue Candle, which is claimed to be 2,000 years ahead of the world, is the "composite metal process", that is, two casts to make it composite into one.
This complex alloy process, until modern times, some Western countries began to use, and another point is about copper sulfide rust prevention.
In the sixties of the twentieth century, the Yue Wang sword was unearthed, this sword has gone through more than 2,000 years, it is still golden, the cold is pressing, the blade is also extremely sharp, and the ornamentation on the sword body is still clearly visible.
Experts used modern science to study the material of the sword itself, and finally found that the Yue Wang sword used a reasonable tin-containing composition to maintain the strength and extensibility of the sword.
The reason why the sword is stainless is mainly because the surface of the sword is covered with sulfur, so it ensures that the sword is stainless for 2,000 years.
Because Yue Guo's sword became light and small, even Ah Qing could use it freely, so she didn't hold her bamboo stick anymore, but changed to a sword.
After all, in the escort team with a sword, there is a guard holding a bamboo stick, which is too eye-catching.
The four first-generation swordsmen stood side by side behind Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing, and the one on the other side glanced at Ah Qing from time to time, with extremely strange expressions.
Seeing that he was always looking at himself, Ah Qing couldn't help but ask curiously, "What do you think I do?
In fact, Ah Qing's appearance as a woman dressed as a man is not bad, on the contrary, Ah Qing wearing men's clothes has a little more charm than when she wears women's clothes.
Of course, wearing men's clothes is just to get by on face, in fact, the ancients were not blind, they would not even be able to distinguish between men and women, not to mention anything else, just say that the small figure, slender waist, is not what men can have.
Those in film and television dramas who wear men's clothes and make a man's hairstyle, others can't tell that she is a woman, so they are naturally just fooling the audience.
Feng Tong listened to Ah Qing's words, clenched his fist and put it to his mouth and coughed, he knew that Ah Qing was a country girl who didn't know etiquette, and Luo Changfeng was very fond of her, and didn't let her learn those red tapes, so he didn't care about her unceremonious talk to himself.
smiled at Ah Qing at the moment and said: "Good looking, whether Madam wears men's or women's clothes, she is generally good-looking, but I don't understand, Madame's dress is to be ......."
Ah Qing said crisply: "I want to go to Wu with you!"
Feng Tong had such an expression on his face, and looked at Luo Changfeng, who was expressionless, with a smile, and said in his heart that this General Luo was really spoiling his wife, and he didn't let his wife stay away for a moment.
Not long after, Gou Jian, accompanied by Fan Liwen and other ministers, walked out of the palace and walked down the steps, and everyone saw Ah Qing at a glance without surprise.
Gou Jian said to Luo Changfeng in surprise: "Changfeng, what is this?"
Luo Changfeng hugged his fist and saluted Gou Jian, and said: "King Qiqi, going to Wu is no different from going deep into the tiger's den. ”
"Ah Qing's swordsmanship is still above the last general, in order to ensure the safety of the king, the last general specially brought Ah Qing to plan everything. ”
Gou Jian nodded solemnly and slowly, and said: "This is reasonable, I'm afraid that Wu Zixu will not let the widow reach Gusu smoothly." ”
After speaking, he smiled at Ah Qing, and Ah Qing also smiled, and then Gou Jian turned around and gave a little explanation to Fan Li and the others, then got into the carriage and ordered to set off.
When he got into the carriage in front of Goujian, the ones who drove Goujian were naturally Luo Changfeng and Ah Qing, and the other four swordsmen drove the front and rear carriages of the Goujian frame.
The remaining 100 soldiers, 20 in the chariot that hauled the goods, and 80 in two teams, 40 on each side, were guarded on both sides of the chariot.
This small convoy left Huiji City and headed for Gusu City, which was more than 320 miles away.
Not a day, to the bank of the Qiantang River in Yuhang, (Yuhang is the later generation of Hangzhou, from Yu in this water) the sky will be dark, Gou Jian ordered to camp here, and cross the river tomorrow.
There is the Yue State Boat Division (Water Army) stationed here, it is also convenient to cross the river, cross the Qiantang River, and then pass through Yuhang, it is the border of Wu State.
At least, they are safe in the territory of Yuhang.
