Chapter 20: Sacrifices

Fortunately, it's just sunset now.Not deeper in the middle of the night.Otherwise, the ghost number in the middle of the night is still very scary.Even so.Gou Jian's style still scared Xu Yang.

I took a closer look at the contents of the food box, except for a few side dishes, a pot of turbid wine, and the most important thing was a tablet.

Suddenly remembered something.Xu Yang slapped his head.Taihu Lake.Isn't there the husband Jiaoshan who defeated Goujian back then? (Note 1)

Come to think of it, everything seems to be explained.

Ten years ago, Gou Jian was defeated here, almost wiped out the country, 30,000 Wu troops, and the remaining 5,000 people who were beaten fled back to their hometowns.

Xu Yang secretly complained, at this time, Gou Jian was crying not only the more than 20,000 Vietnamese soldiers who died here, but also the fate of crying his own tragedy.

Xu Yang seems to understand a little bit about the matter of Gou Jian's bird hiding after breaking Wu.After such a fiasco.I'm afraid I won't have any trust in anyone anymore.And whoever has suffered such a humiliating thing.Of course, I want to kill all the people who know the inside story of this matter to be satisfied--

But in the territory of the enemy's country, openly pay tribute to the soldiers who died in battle, is it really a big man? Fortunately, although this place belongs to Taihu Lake, it is far from Gusu, and it is remote and uninhabited, but it is always not safe for a long time.

But fortunately, Gou Jian seems to understand these truths.Before Xu Yang couldn't help but persuade him, he stopped crying.After sending the sacrifice into Taihu Lake in the same way.He knelt down and made a big salute.Then he returned to the carriage with the support of the confessor.Gou Jian's body has always been strong.At this time, he actually asked someone to help him.It was obvious that he was really crying to the point of sadness just now.

After Gou Jian sat down, a hoarse voice gave an order, and Xu Yang obeyed the order and drove back.

At this time, the night has slowly begun to fall.It didn't take long for Gou Jian to look at Xu Yang.Nodding the road.Xu Yang drove to a small road.Not far after turning.I vaguely saw a hut.Poker face asked Xu Yang to stop.Then waited for Gou Jian to get out of the car.Gou Jian looked at Xu Yang after getting out of the car.nodded.,Dao: [You also go into the house.]

Xu Yang naturally won't shirk.Although it is early spring and February at this time.However, it is still very cold at night.Guarding outside the door.Of course, it is exempt if it can be avoided.Anyway, he doesn't plan to mix with any high-ranking officials under Gou Jian.It's just a temporary job.There's no need to be so dedicated.

Entered the house.Poker Face and Xu Yang lit the lamp.Cooked a simple dinner with the dry firewood, yellow rice and stove in the house.Xu Yang saw that Poker Face was familiar with the door.I think this room is a resting place that Gou Jian has arranged a long time ago.No wonder Poker Face can find such a remote place.It is estimated that Gou Jian comes every year.

Gou Jian is not a picky eater.Eat casually.A day of driving and horses and this sacrifice at night.Gou Jian looks extremely tired.However, he seems to be completely sleepy.casually asks Xu Yang some common things.

Xu Yang complained in his heart.If you don't sleep, I want to sleep.Gou Jian thinks that he sleeps a lot in the car during the day.He has been driving fatigue all day.There will be a whole day tomorrow.Aren't you afraid that the old driver will overturn tomorrow?

However, now is the era of the supremacy of monarchy, Xu Yang did not dare to express any concept of equality in the later generations, besides, it was said in the later generations, can everyone really be equal, let alone the king of a country, that is, the small boss of his own company in the later generations, let himself work overtime, do he dare not do it? It is okay not to do it, and tomorrow he will probably be fired from the company because of his left foot stepping into the company.

So Xu Yang chatted with Gou Jian for five yuan until Gou Jian fell asleep, and he dared to find a clean place at the door.

The poker face is absolutely in place, serving from beginning to end, not even yawning, waiting for Gou Jian to sleep, and just kneeling next to Gou Jian.

Thinking about it, Xu Yang slowly also fell asleep.In the dream, he returned to the previous world.Ate the long-lost instant noodles.Then he went on a date with his girlfriend.Xu Yang's girlfriend in the dream had never been gentle and considerate.The two of them had to do something indescribable--

It's a pity that the dream didn't last long.In the dream, Xu Yang just hugged his girlfriend's slender waist.Before he kissed the lips.He was woken up.I opened my eyes and looked.I was almost scared to death.A poker face that didn't wake up was horizontal in front of me--

[It's time to wake up.]

Xu Yang calculated.Mao Shi is five o'clock in the later life.The sun doesn't come out at five o'clock in early spring.It's a little bright outside.I haven't slept for eight hours.I want to complain!

Then think about it, there are no guilds or any employee rights protection organizations or anything like that in this era.

But I still couldn't help but complain a few words, it wasn't dawn yet, I got up too early or something.

Poker Face didn't care about his broken thoughts.Waiting for Gou Jian to get up.Wiped his face.Ate some rice porridge or something.Xu Yang didn't have his turn at all.The three of them got into the carriage again and prepared to leave.

Xu Yang was about to start.Poker face secretly stuffed a cake for him.I didn't expect this poker face to be a little human.Xu Yang took two bites and set off.

There was nothing to say all the way, and at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I could already see the walls of Huiji City from afar.

However, no one expected that they were almost at the doorstep.

A thin stumbling rope lay across the avenue.If it weren't for the cultivation of the Yue Nu swordsmanship.The five senses were far beyond ordinary people.Xu Yang couldn't see it at all.Even so.By the time he found out, it was already a little late.Xu Yang hurriedly reined in the horse.However, the two horses were still mixed on the tripping rope due to inertia.Fortunately, Xu Yang had already reduced the speed of the carriage in advance.Avoided the disaster of overturning.Although the two horses were tripped over, the carriage was fine.But the poker face and Xu Yang were both overturned.Gou Jian was also hit in the carriage and was dizzy.

Note 1: The Battle of Fujiao.Gou Jian heard that Fu Cha was preparing to take revenge on his father and attack Yue Guo.So he did not listen to Fan Li's advice.Decided to preemptively attack Wu State.Fought at Fujiao Mountain.Fu Cha was defeated by Gou Jian.Yue Guo was killed about 25,000 people.Fu Jiao.Now Taihu Dongting Mountain.One is said to be the present-day Taihu Jiao Mountain.
