Yue Wang Gou Jian

Since there is only one daughter left under his knees, Duke Jing of Qi dotes on this daughter very much, and he absolutely refuses to be hasty in choosing a husband for her.Qi Jinggong not only hopes that the little princess will become the mother of a country in the future, but also hopes that she can marry the person he likes. After thinking about it, he can only use the ten-year taxation of the three cities as the princess's dowry, and invites the princes and kings of the world. , came to Linzi and asked to marry the princess.

Being able to marry Qi, one of the most powerful countries in the world, is already the dream of the princes and monarchs, not to mention the ten-year taxation of the three extremely rich cities of Qi, the princes and monarchs are of course flocking to it.No, there are still two days before the day when the Princess of Qi is recruiting her son-in-law, but all the princes and monarchs who have been invited have already arrived.

At night, when the lanterns come on, in the Feiluan Hall in the western suburbs of the King’s Palace, there are singing and dancing.Three or forty princes and kings who attended the banquet sat in separate seats.There is a seat in the middle of the hall, the table is simple and elegant, but the one sitting is Qi Jinggong Jiang Chujiu.The east and west seats are covered with yellow satin embroidered with golden dragons to show the dignity of the princes and kings.

The country of Yue is remote and has little influence in the Central Plains, so Goujian was arranged to sit at the end of the table.This banquet was originally a banquet for the king, Wen Zhong and other ministers could only avoid it, leaving only Liansheng standing behind Gou Jian to wait on him.Goujian looked around, and sitting next to him was Cai Zhaohou Jishen, and at the next table was Chen Mingong Guiyue, sitting on the west seat, and sitting opposite him was Ji Boyang, the king of the state of Cao, and beside him stood a man in a brocade suit. The jade clothes are beautiful, but they are not like ordinary attendants. For some reason, Gou Jian always feels that the man has a sad expression on his face, which seems to be very displeased.Sitting at the head of the East is Zhao Yang, one of the six ministers of the state of Jin. At this time, the state of Jin has been controlled by the six ministers. Taking the first place in the east, the one sitting in the west is Xiong Zhen, king of Chu.The second seat on the east side is Ji Li, the heir of the Ji family, the first of the three Huans of Lu State, and the second seat on the west side is Touman, the son of Song Jinggong.

Fu Chai, king of Wu, was sitting in the third seat on the east side, separated from Gou Jian, who was sitting at the end of the teacher, by more than a dozen tables.I met Gou Jian's eyes, but they looked indifferent, Gou Jian felt a pain in his heart, poured a glass of wine, raised his head, and drank the wine in one gulp.

After drinking for three rounds, Duke Jing of Qi seemed to be overwhelmed by the wine. He left the banquet with the help of the maidservants in the palace, and only told the Prime Minister Bao Guo to treat all the princes and kings well.

Some of these dozens of vassal states are extremely jealous when they meet each other. It's just that when the vassals came, they had signed a covenant and promised not to cause trouble with each other, so they lived in peace.But after all, they are the princes of various countries, how can a mere minister of the state of Qi control the situation, not long after, some princes of the enemy country verbally abused and insulted each other, and even punched each other.

Goujian was sitting, feeling the scratching around his ears, and was about to get up to go out to get some air, when a thick hand pressed down on his shoulder.

"King Yue, where are you going?"

Gou Jian raised his head, and the eyes of King Yan, as big as copper bells, appeared in front of him.

"Let go!"

Goujian glanced at the thick hand on his shoulder, and said coldly.

"The widow heard that the people of Yue have not changed their style and have tattoos on their hair. I didn't expect the king of Yue to have long hair reaching his waist, so charming."

As King Yan said, he immediately lifted a few strands of black hair from Gou Jian's head, put them to the tip of his nose, and sniffed frivolously.

He was humiliated by the king of Chu because he failed to bully Goujian during the day, and he was always angry. Take the opportunity to come over to bully Goujian, with the shame of snow and white sun.

"Don't be rude to our king!"

Seeing that Gou Jian was being bullied by King Yan, Lian Sheng threw himself forward and hugged King Yan's hand on Gou Jian's shoulder with both arms, trying to break it apart. The thin Liansheng could be shaken, but with a slight flick of Yan Wang's arm, Liansheng fell to the ground.

"Don't touch him!"

Seeing that King Yan approached Liansheng and slapped him, Gou Jian flew forward without thinking, blocking Liansheng behind him.Everything was in the blink of an eye, Gou Jian wanted to mobilize his true energy, but it was too late, he could only watch helplessly as King Yan's claws got closer and closer to him.

Suddenly there was only a sound of "Ouch", but King Yan's face was distorted, grinning in pain, the hand was held in his hand, and the bones were squeezed and rattled.

"If you are being rude to the King of Yue, don't blame me for disregarding the covenant and taking your head off."

A low and very magnetic voice sounded beside his ears, Gou Jian stared blankly at the angular profile in front of him, speechless for a while.

"Yes Yes……"

Seeing that it was Wu Wang Fucha who came, King Yan had no choice but to agree again and again, and sat back in his seat embarrassingly.Unexpectedly, a little-known king of Yue could let the princes and princes of the two great powers stand out for him, and he was really unlucky for eight lifetimes.

Hey, no, aren't Wu Chuyue and the Three Kingdoms a feud? When did they become so friendly?

Not to mention that King Yan couldn't figure out the relationship between Goujian, King of Yue, Fu Chai, King of Wu, and Xiong Zhen, King of Chu, even though he was thinking about it. went.

"Fucha..."

Gou Jian came to his senses and chased after Fu Chai.

"The king of Yue followed the widow all the way. What is the meaning of this? Could it be that the widow took something precious from you?"

On the arc-shaped arch bridge, Fu Chai stopped abruptly, and said to Gou Jian who was following behind him, but his voice was extremely cold.

Gou Jian stopped abruptly, only then did he realize how ridiculous he had done.He was originally a withdrawn and indifferent person. Even though he was flattered by his husband before, although he was moved, he was still unwilling to show his emotions.But now Fu Chai ignores him, he didn't expect that he would brazenly follow him all the way.

Fucha in front of him was standing at the head of the bridge, only a few steps away from him, but Goujian felt that there was a thousand rivers and mountains between them.

Fu Chai stood on the highest point of the arch bridge with his back on his back, the sky was full of stars, but Gou Jian felt that the stars above his head were so dim compared with the person in front of him.But as time passed and the stars changed, he could no longer stand shoulder to shoulder with him.Goujian took a few deep breaths, tried to calm his voice, and said to Fucha:

"I just want to express my thanks to King Wu, thank you King Wu for making a rescue."

"Ah……"

Fu Chai only heard a short chuckle, he still didn't turn his head, but said in a cold voice,

"The king of Yue doesn't need to thank you. After all, I owe you for using you back then. For today's matter, let me repay your love for that day. But the revenge of killing your father is irreconcilable. From now on, we are enemies and not friends."

Gou Jian wanted to say something more, moved the corners of his lips, but never opened his mouth, just watching Fu Chai's back getting farther and farther away from him.

……

A round of red sun gradually disappeared under Yuqing Mountain. On the city wall of Yue Kingdom, two figures, one tall and one short, stood side by side, looking at the setting sun that was about to disappear.

"Yafu, it's getting late, let's go back."

The child seemed unable to stand up anymore, and tugged on the skirt of the man in white.

"Suizhi, wait a little longer, the sun has set, and we will never see him again."

Bai Yiran still looked at the red sun without turning his head.

"Yafu, the sun sets at night and will rise again tomorrow morning, how can we never see it again?"

the child asked suspiciously.

"Although they look exactly the same, they are different after all..."

……

Yes, just like a person, although he is still the same person, but time has passed, he is no longer the original self, and he is no longer the original self.

The State of Yue and the State of Wu are old enemies.And he and him are old enemies.

This is the fate that the two of them can never escape in this life...

"The wind is cold and the dew is heavy. The king of Yue is standing here alone, is it to appreciate the stars in the sky?"

Suddenly a clear and magnetic voice sounded in his ears, and Gou Jian turned his head, only to see the king of Chu, Xiong Zhen, standing behind him at some point.

I don't know how much the conversation between Chu Cai and Fu Chai was heard by King Xiong Zhen of Chu. Gou Jian was worried, but he pretended to be calm, and bowed to King Chu:

"The king of Chu came out alone, wouldn't those princes who want to drink with you be boring?"

"It's just a social gathering on the scene. It's more relaxed than outside here. If King Yue wants to drink, I'll ask someone to bring a few jars. We won't return home tonight, how about it?"

Chu King Xiong Zhen looked at Gou Jian with burning eyes.

Goujian lowered his head, avoiding King Chu's sight and said:

"Thank you King Chu for your kindness, but I'm too drunk to drink, and I'm dizzy after just a few cups, please forgive me."

After Goujian finished speaking, he turned around and hurried towards his residence.

Under the shade of the tree, a pair of slender eyes stared motionlessly at the white figure that was fading away in front of them, their eyes flickering, showing the joy of finding prey.

"Goujian, king of Yue, Fucha, king of Wu, heh... interesting!"

Chu Wang Xiong Zhen murmured softly, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his lips.
