Yue Wang Gou Jian

In the battle between Zhili and Li, King Goujian of Yue killed Helu, retreated Wu soldiers, and defeated many with less, and became famous among the vassal states.The state of Wu changed hands, and its vitality was seriously injured. There was no movement in a short time.It's just that on the day Wu Wang Fuchai came to the throne, he invited all the princes from all walks of life, but he didn't invite the Yue Kingdom alone.

Although it was beyond Goujian's expectation to kill Helu in the first battle between Zhui and Li, how could he gain a firm foothold in front of the officials so quickly, and how could he have a place among the princes if it hadn't been so.

The past is like a dream.

Goujian stood on the city wall, his robes fluttering, his eyes wandering, he sighed softly as he watched the sun gradually disappearing under the Yuqing Mountain in the distance.

It's only two ten years old, but their king seems to have experienced many vicissitudes. Since the first battle of Zhili, he seems to have never smiled again.

Looking at the thin and lonely figure on the city wall, Wen Zhong felt a little pain in his heart.

"Your Majesty, it's very windy here, let's go back to the palace and rest, we have to leave for Qi Kingdom tomorrow."

Wen Zhong stepped forward and performed a courtesy to Gou.

"Do you have to go?"

Gou Jian didn't turn his head back, his gaze was still fixed on the gradually setting sun, and he asked leisurely, as if he was asking about the language, but also about himself.

"Qi Jinggong is more than a few years old. His two sons died in battle in the early years, leaving behind a daughter. She is clever and unparalleled in beauty. Qi Jinggong regards her as the jewel in his palm. This time when Qi is recruiting a son-in-law, the princes of the world flock to him. If the king can marry this daughter, he will have Qi. With the backing of the country, we are bound to be even more powerful."

Wen Zhongyu persuaded Gou Jiandao earnestly.

"Uncle, but I..."

"I know what the king wants, but the king is already the master of the world, and everything should be done with the Yue Kingdom in mind. If the kings of Chu or Wu marry the princess of Qi, our Yue Kingdom will be in great trouble. Besides, Princess Qi is beautiful and dignified, if the king sees her, he will be delighted."

Hearing Wen Zhong mentioned Wu State, Gou Jian's heart moved slightly, but on the surface he said calmly,

"The princes gather together, and the widow has no chance of winning."

"Your Majesty, you will know everything only by trying it."

Wen Zhong and Gou Jian stood side by side, looking at the mountain that completely engulfed the red sun, his deep eyes narrowed slightly.

Although persuading the king of Yue to marry a wife is for the sake of the country's righteousness, Wen Zhong also has a little selfishness. After all, their king is not young...

The state of Qi is surrounded by mountains and the sea. Since the founding of the state by Lu Shang, the Taigong Wang, he has boiled salt and cultivated fields, and has become rich. More than 100 years ago, after Duke Huan of Qi became the hegemon, Qi State became the head of the feudal lords. Although the momentum of Qi State weakened slightly due to the sudden emergence of its neighbor Jin State, it is considered to be the leader among the vassal states.

Linzi, the capital of Qi State, is even more prosperous, with row upon row of pavilions, towers and pavilions, the streets are full of traffic, and a wide variety of goods are available. In the streets and alleys, as well as in arch bridge pavilions, scholars can be seen reciting poems with wine and admiring chrysanthemums while drinking wine.After all, it is the upper kingdom of the Central Plains, full of poetic elegance and gentlemanly style.

"Look, that's a painting boat, and the lanterns on the painting boat are so pretty."

Tong Liansheng, Goujian's personal servant, was thirteen years old. He grew up in Yue State since he was a child, and had never seen much of the world. Joyful and elated, he said without any restraint,

"I thought Ancheng was the biggest city in the world, but I didn't expect that the capital of Qi Kingdom is much bigger than Ancheng."

"Little baby, stop talking nonsense!"

Sitting in the carriage, Wen Zhong heard that Liansheng outside the curtain was so presumptuous, so he lifted the curtain and shouted angrily to stop it.

"Master Wenzhong, the little one knows his mistake."

Liansheng Nuonuo responded, lowered his head, but his big clear eyes rolled around, peeking around.

"It's okay, what Liansheng said is also true."

But Goujian didn't care, and waved his hands at the language.

Seeing what King Yue said, Wen Zhong had no choice but to give up, but he couldn't help but slander their King Yue for loving Liansheng too much.

"what……"

Suddenly Liansheng's exclamation was heard, and Goujian and Wenzhong felt their bodies tremble for a while, and the carriage stopped.Surprised, the two hurriedly opened the curtain, only to see that Lian Sheng had already rolled to the ground, rubbing his TUN, grinning in pain.In front of him was a burly man, wearing a fox fur cloak, his eyes were like copper bells, and he kicked Goujian and others in a daze.

"What happened?"

Gou Jian asked.

"My lord, this is the man who stopped our carriage and blocked our way."

The palace man driving the car reported to Gou Jian, his face turned pale, he must have been frightened just now.

The chariots and horses and accompanying guards in the rear also stopped. Several guards, armed with knives and halberds, stepped forward and sternly shouted at the burly man:

"Who is in front of you, dare to disturb King Yue's chariot?"

"Hahaha……"

The burly man suddenly let out a rough laugh. After laughing for a while, he stopped and said,

"It turns out that you are a barbarian from the south, and you dare to call yourself the king of Yue. Judging by your situation, you may also come to Qi to seek marriage. If so, this king advises you to go back to the south quickly, so as not to embarrass yourself here."

The Yue Kingdom is originally a small country in the southeast corner of Pian'an. Although its military strength has grown in recent years, in the eyes of the Central Plains countries, it has never been more than a savage clan with tattoos. The Nanban small country.

"let's go……"

Gou Jian raised his eyes, glanced at the burly man lightly, seeing his description of his clothes and calling himself "my lord", he already guessed his identity.There are more than a dozen vassal states in the Central Plains between the north and the south. Whether they are friendly or hostile, they have little influence on the country or family, and Goujian is too lazy to spend time dealing with him.

"Children of Nanman, how dare you not kneel when you see me, Lord Dayan?"

A few armored soldiers behind the burly man came forward on tall horses and shouted at Gou Jian and others.

"Turn around, detour."

Seeing that Liansheng had been helped by the palace servants into the carriage behind him, Gou Jian got into the carriage and lowered the curtain, his voice was clear and indifferent, but with an irresistible force.

"Nanman boy, how dare you be so rude to me, I will definitely peel you to pieces to vent my hatred."

The burly man distorted his face in anger, jumped off the horse, jumped to the top of Goujian's carriage, and lifted the roof away.

Gou Jian saw that this person's physical skills, although he had brute force, had no ingenuity, if he used Wuxiang defiant skills to fight against him, he would not be defeated, but after all, he lived in a foreign land, so he should not act too much. Goujian thought about it and said to the big man:

"If King Yan likes this carriage, I will give it to you, how about it?"

After finishing speaking, Gou Jian got out of the carriage, Wen Zhong and Gou Jian also wanted to go to the same place, the arrogant people would be taken care of by themselves, and the princes gathered in Linzi City, how could the northern Yi Di be arrogant, so he followed him and got off carriage.

"Look, the king of Yue is more beautiful than a woman."

"No, I have never seen such a beautiful person in my life."

"You said that if the king of Yue married the princess, would the king of Yue take advantage of it, or the princess?"

"Whether to take advantage or not, this person is just a southern barbarian, like an embroidered pillow, beautiful on the outside, but vulgar on the inside, he is not worthy of our princess."

……

Gou Jian got off the carriage and walked gracefully among the crowd. He was dressed in white, slender waist, fluttering crown, starry eyes, and his gestures attracted everyone's attention.

Among the crowd, a pair of slender eyes stared closely at the white-clothed man who stepped out of the carriage, and the corners of his thin lips were slightly raised, revealing a wicked smile.

Seeing everyone's naked eyes, Gou Jian was very displeased, and the steps under his feet involuntarily increased.

"It's his grandma's, Nanban skinny guy, he's so angry with me."

I only heard a rude shout from behind, and felt a gust of wind whistling behind me, lifting up a few strands of black hair beside Gou Jian's temples, Gou Jian stopped in his tracks, secretly made an eagle claw shape with his hands, and was about to use his kung fu to deal with it. The person behind him could only hear a rough groan.Moan.

"Ouch!"

Gou Jian turned his head, only to see that the burly man was swung into the air by one hand, his hands and feet were thumping like a turtle swimming, which made the audience roar with laughter.

"Who are you? Hurry up and put our king down."

The guard of Yan Kingdom who was still sitting on the horse just now saw his king being humiliated, hurriedly jumped off the horse, stepped forward with his halberd, and sternly shouted at the person who came.

"His Royal Highness, the autumn in Linzi is not as cold as in the north. You are wearing a fox fur cloak, be careful of heatstroke."

The man's voice was clear and magnetic, very pleasant to hear.While speaking, King Yan was thrown forward heavily by him, leaving only the fox fur cloak worn by King Yan in his hand. Seeing this, the guards of the Kingdom of Yan hurriedly threw their spears and halberds, rushed forward, and killed their king. Catch it with difficulty.

"So it's the King of Chu!"

Under the support of more than a dozen attendants, King Yan stopped abruptly. When he saw the man in front of him, his round eyes immediately widened like copper bells.

Although the state of Chu also lived in the south, a hundred years ago the king of Chuzhuang ruled the world. Although it was a hundred years ago, the princes still had lingering fears about the state of Chu.Therefore, although the King of Yan had no one in his eyes, he was also a little afraid of the King of Chu.

"The King of Chu does not dare to be the king. I am just a mere child of the Nanman. How dare the famous King Yan call him 'King' next."

King Chu deliberately talked about the words that King Yan had insulted Goujian before, so that King Yan was speechless.

King Yan glared at Goujian, then at King Chu, gritted his teeth and hummed:

"I'll deal with you after I marry Princess Qi."

King Yan finished speaking, shook his hands, and led a group of Yan Kingdom guards to turn around and leave.

"His Royal Highness, are you okay?"

A clear and magnetic voice rang in his ears, King Chu turned around, looked at Gou Jian with his slender eyes and asked.

The king of Chu was born with red lips, white teeth, and a face like a crown jade. Although he is already in his thirties, he looks no different from a weak crown.

When he was in Penglai Island, Gou Jian turned into an ugly boy and was brought by Wu Xian. He met the King of Chu a few times from a distance, but Chu State repeatedly invaded Yue State, and Gou Jian did not care much about the King of Chu. Good impression.

"Thank you, King Chu, for making a rescue."

Gou Jian bowed to the king of Chu.

"The king of Yue is too polite. The barbarians in the north are arrogant and domineering. They dare to insult us southerners as Nanman children. How can I allow him to be so presumptuous and humiliated."

Xiong Zhen, the King of Chu, called the Yue Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom collectively as us, obviously intending to get close to them. Gou Jian was used to the sophistication of the world, but he did not buy the hypocrisy of the King of Chu.However, if the princes gathered together this time, if Goujian didn't plan for a backer, he might lose the King of Yan today, and the King of Qin and Zheng Bo would come tomorrow.Therefore, he returned a thankful gift to the king of Chu and said:

"I have heard that the King of Chu is benevolent, generous, heroic and wise. When I see him today, it is as expected."

"The king of Yue's words are wrong. The king of Yue's dragon and phoenix posture, forbearance and courage, are even more admirable."

While the King of Chu was speaking, he held Gou Jian's hand, intentionally or not. Gou Jian wanted to break free, but he didn't want to refute King Chu's face in broad daylight. Being coy will inevitably lead to some gossip.

After a lot of thinking, Gou Jian had no choice but to hold the hand of the King of Chu as a gesture of friendship.

Seeing that Gou Jian did not resist, the King of Chu held his hand instead, thinking that Gou Jian wanted to please him, so he suddenly lost his mind, and leaned closer to Gou Jian's ear and said,

"Since King Yue's carriage is broken, how about riding with me?"

Gou Jian was thinking about how to politely refuse, but he happened to see Wu Wang Fu Chai passing by on a tall horse.The eyes as deep as a pool fell on the hands that Gou Jian and the king of Chu held each other.

Seeing Fu Chai's sudden appearance, Gou Jian's whole body suddenly turned into petrification, allowing the King of Chu to rub his hand in a "friendly" way, and stayed where he was in shock.

Fu Chai's face was gloomy, his thin lips were tightly pursed, but he stopped looking at Gou Jian, rode his horse and hurried past, a gust of wind lifted Gou Jian's skirt.

Seeing Fu Chai riding his horse away, Gou Jian felt sore in his heart, but he couldn't cry. He pulled the corners of his lips and smiled at the King of Chu, saying:

"Since the king of Chu is so kind to his fists, then Gou Jian would be more respectful than obedient."

"Call..."

Under the willow tree, Fu Chai reined in his horse and stopped, turned around and looked into the distance, but saw Gou Jian and the king of Chu got into the same carriage, with veins popping on his handsome face and terribly red eyes, he turned the reins and chased without thinking. Go with that carriage.
